[Chapter 309: The Knight of Xijon] (7 more)
When Li Chun opened his eyes again, he saw several black-armored knights, standing majestically in front of him.
He reacted quickly, and in an instant, he dragged the prince and Jixiang behind him.
"Don't worry, we just want to talk to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. β
One of the black-armored knights spoke in an awkward Central Plains official dialect.
He had a high nose and deep eyes, and his hair was a light brown, and he was clearly from the Western Regionsβand with the flaming articles on his armor, he was immediately known as a Xijon nobleman.
The Xijon people actually entered the Tomb of the Heavenly Emperor so quickly, and they could still wait for them here?
Li Chun's complexion changed slightly, and his hand holding the sword tightened.
He could feel the strength of the other party.
The prince was also taken aback at first, but soon calmed down.
"You used rosemary from Xijon, didn't you?
In the random teleportation layer of the Celestial Emperor's Mausoleum, ordinary methods cannot track others at all, and only the priceless rosemary can be used to identify the person to be found.
Rosemary is made from the pollen of a strange flower in the Western Regions, and once ignited, it can use the power of the teleportation point to bring itself closer to the marked target, but this kind of closeness is almost very unreliable, and the chances of meeting are still very small.
"It took us seventeen servings of rosemary to finally meet you, the prince. β
The nobleman smiled slightly, but his face twitched, and he was obviously very heartbroken.
The prince couldn't help but gasp.
Seventeen portions of rosemary are almost equal to the entire property of a medium Xijon tribe.
This man took out so much rosemary at once. If you say that it is just to talk to the prince, it is too big.
"Are you Nayan or Abuhua?"
The prince sank his face, only these two tribes in Xirong could get so much rosemary.
"Below is Timur, the little prince of the Abuhua Division. β
The Xirong nobles reported their identities, and there was also a sense of pride in their words, "The prince of the Central Plains, do you also know the name of my tribe?"
"Nayan and Abuhua ......" Li Chun shook his head, probably only a royal family like the crown prince who cared about the situation in the Western Regions would know. Otherwise, there are dozens of tribes in Xirong. Who can tell the difference between ordinary people?
"It turned out to be Prince Timur. β
The crown prince nodded slightly, "If you want to talk to me, as a little prince, you can completely hand over the name note to see before I enter the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum." Why waste it?"
Rosemary is just too expensive. Even the crown prince couldn't help but feel a little heartache.
"The stakes are high. If there are many people, it is really impossible to negotiate. β
Timur shook his head and walked up to the crown prince with a solemn face. Kneeling down on one knee and paying homage to the vassals, the prince only bowed his head slightly and did not avoid it.
In terms of status, it is indeed deserved to receive this ceremony.
Moreover, the crown prince obviously felt that Timur was asking for himself here, and he did not need to be polite.
"The little prince doesn't have to be polite, what is the matter with you coming to see Lone, let's hurry up, if you encounter the teleportation light again, I'm afraid that you will waste another rosemary." β
Timur smiled, "I can see the prince's golden face, why is the villain afraid to use a few more rosemary, I can't hide it, I came here today to confirm one thing with the prince." β
The prince was stunned, "What's the matter?"
Timur looked left and right and lowered his voice, "Is the prince here to cut the dragon vein?"
"What?"
The prince could still remain silent, but Xiaohou and Qu Tianheng beside him both changed their faces drastically, and they almost exclaimed.
Only a few of their princes' henchmen knew about the dragon vein, and it could be said that the adults in the capital and even the Son of Heaven had not had time to learn the news.
How did this prince Timur of the Abula tribe of Sijon know about this?
"Looking at the reaction of your subordinates, you don't need the prince's answer......"
Timur sighed, but his eyes were rolling.
It seems that he did know about the news for a long time, but he couldn't confirm it.
The prince glared at Xiao Hou dissatisfied, Xiao Hou quickly covered his mouth, looking embarrassed; Qu Tianheng looked up at the sky, and felt too much to hold his breath.
However, he was indeed more surprised than Li Chun and the others, because he himself was the initiator of the method of slaying the dragon vein, and this news was transmitted, which made him the most incredulous.
Could it be...... Someone in the Heaven Annihilation Sect leaked the news?
"Yes, I am here precisely to nip the turmoil in the country in the bud, and the matter of cutting the dragon vein is a helpless move, and the little prince can know that this matter has nothing to do with Xirong!"
The prince hesitated slightly, but finally chose to talk to him.
The other party already knows the general situation, and there is no need to hide it.
"The dragon vein is related to the world, how can it have nothing to do with my Xirong?"
Timur smiled, "The prince doesn't have to worry, we have no intention of obstructing the prince." β
The change of the dragon vein affects the world, and it does have something to do with Xirong, but it is impossible to determine whether this influence is good or bad.
Timur was worried that the crown prince would be suspicious, so he quickly expressed his attitude.
"The villain is just here to beg, since the prince wants to cut the dragon vein, can you give the villain a small piece of the dragon vein?"
"Never!"
The prince raised his eyebrows and refused categorically.
Everything else is negotiable, but this is impossible.
The dragon vein fell into the hands of the Hu people, even if it was only a little, it could be a disaster for the world, he himself came to stabilize the world, how could he make such a choice?
His attitude was cold and hard, but Timur was not angry, he knew that after this request was made, the prince must have reacted like this, and he just smiled at the moment.
"Prince, don't be angry yet, and listen to the villain's explanation......"
"After the dragon vein was cut off, it itself escaped and flew away, and the people of the Quartet could fight for it, and it was impossible to say whose hands it would fall into. β
He sighed, "Even if we have the upper hand, it will not be easy to get this dragon vein, so I came to discuss it with the prince." β
"How many?"
The crown prince was keenly aware of the point in Timur's words.
"Not bad!"
Timur nodded slightly, and it was simple to talk to a smart person.
"Prince, the probability of us getting the dragon vein is the same as the probability that other people get, anyway, sooner or later it will fall into the hands of others, why don't the prince cut the dragon vein into more pieces, and give me a small cut of the little prince who has no ambitions......"
He paused, and clasped his hands on his chest.
β...... Then I, the Knight of the Abuhua Division, naturally swear to serve the prince, and I will definitely deal with the people of the Demon Sect who entered the Heavenly Emperor's Mausoleum for the prince!"
Timur's eyes narrowed, and there was a sly glint in his eyes.
If this condition is thrown, the prince will definitely agree!
"The people in the Demon Sect also want a piece of the pie?"
The prince was finally moved. (To be continued......)
