Chapter 67: Elsewhere
(Thanks to the tip of the ugly to unknown ugly i588 starting coin) The desert is desolate, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and the wild wolf roars. Meng Xiaoran held the kettle and sat alone on the mound, his eyes wandered into the distance, as if the bloody scene was still lingering in front of him.
Not far behind him, there were Qian Lilian and the eight little guards of the Demon Gate, at this time, they didn't dare to step forward, because no one knew if Meng Xiaoran would break out. Only after the thorn eagle landed did Yin Mei jump off the thorn eagle, she couldn't wait to run forward, ran to Xiao Huang and said, "Senior brother." ”
Xiao Huang raised his head, looked at Yin Mei, who still had sword wounds on her body, handed her the kettle, and said, "Senior Sister Yin Mei, in fact, you don't need to do this." ”
"Nope. Brother. When you and I were in the ghost puzzle, I promised to keep a secret for you, and you promised to take me to the Central Plains. Others don't believe in you, but I believe in you, because I believe in you, you will take me to the Central Plains!"
Yinmei's face had a simple and natural smile, and that kind of smile made the cold Meng Xiaoran have a trace of warmth: "Everyone bears me, but there is a junior sister who understands me." Haha, I'm Xiao Huang enough. ”
"No, and me. Celilian finally walked over.
But Meng Xiaoran didn't look back at all, he turned his back and pointed at Qian Lilian and said, "I don't want to see you." I am like this, and your credit is not small! The poison of the dragon's flying and the traces of the demon gate found out by Du Doom are probably your masterpieces. ”
Qian Lilian bit her lips tightly, and her eyes turned red: "Xiao Huang, I know that my demon gate can't stand you." But if Tianyumen and those Western Regions Sword Cultivation Sects really trusted you, would they get it like this today? There are so many hypocrites and villains among them, who have risen up to attack you, that makes you so embarrassed. Haven't you seen that even if it weren't for our demon gate today, you would not be able to escape the fate of being plotted by them? ”
"Hmph, having said all this, it's not to find an excuse for your demon gate. I'm afraid that everything you have done will force me to join your Demon Gate. But you don't know that I can't join your Demon Gate. "Meng Xiaoran bears the blood feud of the Meng family, if he enters the Demon Gate, how can he return to the Central Plains Martial Arts Hall in the future.
Celilian said, "I know you're in a bad mood right now. But trust me. No one is going to force you anymore. ”
"Miss. ”
"Shut up, y'all!" said to Celilian, turning back to the eight little guards, "From now on, Xiao Huang will be mine alone." The eight of you go back to deal with the remaining ghost fires, and find out the truth about the Di Ghost Sect. Remember, report to me at any time, and I also warn you that you are not allowed to do anything else against Xiao Huang without my permission. ”
The Eight Little Guards had never seen Celilian like this, but today, Celilian did have anger and embarrassment on her face. She was embarrassed by Xiao Huang, and she was also angry at the rash actions of her subordinates. Whether the witch is a pity for Xiao Huang's talent, or if she has other feelings, no one knows. But the eight of them knew very well that no one dared to provoke such a witch in such a posture.
One by one, they said goodbye and left, eight people went, and the desert was quiet. Celilian stood behind Meng Xiaoran, facing the baptism of wind and sand, she did not move a single bit, until Meng Xiaoran was in the afterglow of the sunset, holding a kettle, and walking forward with Yinmei, she followed behind her step by step.
The next road, where to go, Meng Xiaoran's mind was very confused. He is indeed a strong man in the Western Regions now, but this is only in the Western Regions. If he returns to the Central Plains, Mo said that the Xiuwu Hall is super strong, even in the private army of the Mu family, there are strongmen who are comparable to him. He wants revenge, he wants Meng to rise, and now it's too difficult. Originally, I wanted to use Tianyumen to slowly accumulate strength, but now everything is gone.
"Senior brother. Yin Mei saw the loneliness on Xiao Huang's face, she stretched out her sleeve to help Xiao Huang wipe the dust on her forehead, "Don't be discouraged." Master, they have misunderstood you, but sooner or later the truth will appear. ”
"The truth? Heh, I don't care about the truth at all. I'm just thinking, where do I go? The Western Regions are so big that there doesn't seem to be a place for me. And the Central Plains, I can't set foot in it yet. ”
Qian Lilian didn't dare to make a sound, she was talking about the Demon Gate at this time, she was not sprinkling salt on Meng Xiaoran's wounds, but she did know that she needed to find a place for Meng Xiaoran.
Two people in front and one person behind, walking blindly. Walking, walking a long way, until the wind and sand were whirling, and the three of them roosted in a small town.
The tavern in the town, the wine and the fun, the pedestrian business travel, each with their own hearts. But a moment of rest is really relaxing. Meng Xiaoran and Yin Mei were at the same table, the wine and food were served, and they were alone, while Qian Lilian was alone at the table, but she tasted the bitterness in her heart. No one in the tavern knew what these three people had just faced, they were just talking, simple but happy.
One person was full of wine and food, and began to chat with others, saying that he was a businessman who had traveled in the Western Regions, and that he had traveled all over the countries in the Western Regions. Now the Central Plains has a slight weakness over the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions have also begun to compete for the title of King of the Western Regions. That person commented on the strength of the countries, presumably the king of the Western Regions would be born from these countries.
Yin Mei wanted to distract Meng Xiaoran, so she asked, "Senior brother, what is the king of the Western Regions?"
Meng Xiaoran drank alone and said: "At the beginning, the Central Plains had just controlled the Western Regions, because the customs of the Western Regions were different from those of the Central Plains, and there were countless small countries, and it was not possible to really rule completely, so someone in the court suggested that the king of a large country in the Western Regions should be selected, and after receiving the support of the countries in the Western Regions, he would be elected as the king of the Western Regions and replace the emperor of Dahua to lead the Western Regions. The king of the Western Regions was only under the control of the emperor of the Great Hua Kingdom, and enjoyed a high status, which could be regarded as a kind of appeasement to the countries of the Western Regions. There has indeed been a king of the Western Regions before. But now, because the power of the countries in the Western Regions is relatively balanced, it is very difficult to elect a king of the Western Regions, so the imperial court has never chosen the king of the Western Regions in order to balance the forces of all parties. Now that someone has mentioned the king of the Western Regions again, it must be that the countries of the Western Regions are also preparing to move and want to fight for more rights and interests. Or, what fluctuations occurred in the Dahua Dynasty made the countries of the Western Regions feel that Dahua's rule over the Western Regions was weak, so they had other ideas. ”
Yin Mei said: "I see, but now that the power of the countries in the Western Regions is balanced, if you want to appear the king of the Western Regions, wouldn't there be another conquest and killing." Then the Avatar doesn't care to ask?"
Meng Xiaoran said: "To become a strong party, military means are only one of them. And to make the country happy and convinced, it lies in the smooth internal affairs, the prosperity and strength of the country, the courtesy and courtesy of diplomacy, and the combination of soft and hard. Because of the existence of the Great Hua Kingdom, it is unlikely that there will be a large-scale conquest in the Western Regions, but because of the competition for the king of the Western Regions, a small-scale conquest is inevitable, and at this time, even when competing for comprehensive national strength, because in many cases, war is just a supplement to negotiation!"
Yin Mei nodded as if she understood, compared with Meng Xiaoran, who had received education from the Wang family since childhood, these big truths were obviously something that Yin Mei couldn't understand immediately. But she knew one thing: "Senior brother, you are so talented, and now you are also a powerhouse in the Western Regions, why don't you assist a lord of the Western Regions and achieve the position of king of the Western Regions." Such. You've got a place to go, and you've made a difference. ”
Hum, Yin Mei's words made Meng Xiaoran and Qian Lilian both stop, their eyes staring ahead, and they seemed to have some thoughts.
Indeed, Meng Xiaoran has always wanted to use the Sword Cultivation Sect as his cover to improve his own strength, but the improvement of his own strength also requires the improvement of his overall team. It was impossible for him to fight against the entire Mu family alone. Thinking about it this way, isn't Kunlun's betrayal of the sect, and it's not all bad.
But at this moment, it was Celilian, who whistled faster than he thought, and the eagle fell outside the door. The huge thorny eagle almost knocked down the tavern with a flap of its wings, and everyone in the tavern was frightened to death when they saw the huge thorny eagle, until Celilian sat down and the thorn eagle left, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Mei hurriedly asked, "Sister Qianlilian, where are you going?"
Meng Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, "I know where she's going." ”
"Shall we go to her, then?"
"No, she'll come back to me. ”
The king of the Baolang Kingdom has been killed by Meng Xiaoran, and now it is his younger brother, the new king, who is only eleven years old Smolek, and Zenit is still the general of Langfang, escorting the little king to lead the Baolang Kingdom. Because of the turmoil in Done, there is now a vacancy for the national teacher.
Celilian came to the palace of the Fort Corridor Kingdom, and the guards swarmed up. Ran Qian Lilian did not panic at all, but smiled and said, "The old man is visiting, and this is how your general greets guests?"
The soldiers were a little cautious when they heard this, and Celilian did not have the intention of attacking, so they hurried back to report, and not long after, as soon as the white rhinoceros arrived, it was indeed Zenit.
He still remembers Celilian's beauty vividly, the first time he saw her as a fairy, and when he saw Celilian again, he was still fascinated by Celilian's beauty.
Waving his hand to let the soldiers retreat, Zenit said, "I don't know why you are here?
Cindy Lilian said: "Definitely. I am here today, not for the Demon Gate, but for the sake of your Fort Lang Guosheji. Xiao Huang, who helped you kill Done at the beginning, has now left Tianyumen and is ready to do something. If you are thirsty for talents, this is the best time to seek talents. ”
"Xiao Huang?" Zenit was happy in his heart, indeed, now the Baolang Country is thirsty for talents, Xiao Huang is not a demon gate, and he is a great favor to the Baolang Country, if he can be contacted to come to the Baolang Country, it will be a big deal for the Baolang Country, "He is really willing to come?"
"Then it depends on your sincerity. By the way, Xiao Huang has already achieved the position of Sword Venerable. If the Fort Lang Kingdom can have Jian Zun as the national protector, then it will be very convenient to compete for the king of the Western Regions in the future. ”
Zenit's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly said, "Sword Venerable's position? ”
"It's true. But there is something I need to remind you of. Xiao Huang was framed by someone, so he was forced to leave Tianyu Gate, and even broke with the Sword Cultivation Sect in the Western Regions. At this time, if you are sincere in approaching him, you also need to take a certain amount of risk. But then again, when you approach him, it's also an attitude. Whether Xiao Huang is a person who repays his kindness with virtue, you weigh it in your heart. ”
