The streets of Los Angeles were already overcrowded, and the vendors on both sides of the city had also put away their stalls and took the initiative to give up the vacant space for the evacuees to rest.

In order not to attract attention, the two of them landed on the sword spirit and squeezed along the dense street all the way to the highest city gate.

Xiao Qianye stared at the surrounding environment, although the former Eye of the Sun God had not been successfully repaired, but the guards on the city wall had increased several times compared to before, and if he dared to go up, he would definitely directly expose his traces, thinking of this, he secretly pulled Yun Xiao and asked in a low voice: "Ah Xiao, there are troops stationed in the capital over there, can you let the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird take the initiative to come to us?"

"Hmm. Yun Xiao nodded, trying to gather the fire of the spirit phoenix in the palm of her hand, the moment the faint fire light lit up, the body surged with tearing pain again, Yun Xiao gritted her teeth and quietly covered up the past, the firelight was like a trailing streamer butterfly, flapping its wings and flying towards the place where the heavenly bird was on the city wall.

"Let's go, go to the other side of the city and wait. Xiao Qianye's eyes were always on the big white bird, and he didn't notice the slight sweat on her cheeks, leading her to walk in another direction, and said, "After the west gate goes out, it is the suburbs connected to the east gate of the imperial capital, also known as the Tianshu Road, which is the only trade road from Los Angeles to Tianyu City, guarded by the troops stationed in the two cities, and when we arrive at the east gate of the imperial capital, there are even people from the Mirror Pavilion to inspect together, and we will return to the imperial capital from there in a while." ”

Yun Xiao followed him closely, although she was nervous in her heart, she still pretended to be calm and kept nodding, she glanced at the fire of the spirit phoenix with her afterglow, and the fire light fell on the tip of the nose of the Tianzheng bird, and after a while, the big white bird with closed eyes tilted its head and blinked its huge eyes, and at the same time flapped its wings from the city gate and turned its head to fly west.

The actions of the Heavenly Expeditionary Bird attracted the attention of the refugees in the city, and almost all of them looked at it at this moment.

Twilight had returned to the previous inspection office, and his heart fluttered as he looked in the direction the big bird was flying, and he was about to jump out of his throat.

Xiao Qianye was unmoved, ignoring the sudden noisy crowd around him, and quickened his pace, although the West Gate was also open and was issuing passes for the caravans, but because the Tianshu Road led directly to the imperial capital, the caravans here were obviously much less, and the inspection procedures were more lengthy and complicated, and only a small number of caravans that had been licensed by the Mirror Pavilion could successfully pass.

Yun Xiao looked at the guards at the city gate worriedly, but she knew that it should be a higher-level soldier when she looked at her outfit, but the hand holding her was not in a hurry, did not show any panic, and even did not slow down her footsteps.

Xiao Qianye directly pulled Yun Xiao Guanghua out at this moment, and recovered his body after a few seconds, Yun Xiao looked around in surprise, it was really just in the blink of an eye, they came from the crowded city to the empty outskirts of the city!

Without waiting for her to ask in surprise and joy what kind of magic spell it was, Xiao Qianye coughed lowly, her face tightened, and her face was a little ugly.

Yun Xiao helped him, and found that his body was also a little trembling and unstable at this moment, and immediately realized that he was actually not proficient in using this kind of spell from the heavenly realm, and the two of them cautiously walked to the side, she held up her palm again, and used the fire of the spirit phoenix to attract the heavenly expeditionary bird to come over.

The big white bird fell from the sky, and the fire on the tip of its nose also disappeared at the same time, Xiao Qianye breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, stretching out his hand, but he didn't touch it as usual.

Seeing each other again, the eyes of the Tianzheng Bird were still sharp and cold, it folded its wings and landed on the ground, and it was also frozen at this moment, seriously distinguishing the breath of the person in front of him, after a while, the big bird let out a cheerful chirp, took the initiative to rub over, and buried the entire bird's head into Xiao Qianye's arms, rubbing his chest back and forth like a coquettish child.

Xiao Qianye turned from worry to joy, holding the head of the Tianzheng Bird, and whispered softly, not knowing what to say.

Yun Xiao walked around from the other side, carefully touched the wings of the big bird like him, and let out a low cry in surprise, although the real name of the Tianzheng Bird is the perched branch bird, it is a big white bird from Kunlun, she often used her ability to understand bird language when she was a child to pester them and take her around to play, but the body of the bird in front of her is obviously stronger than its kind, and even the feathers are more sharp, and if you are not careful, it will cut the skin.

She was secretly frightened, this bird had followed Xiao Qianye for eight years, gone through wind and rain, and passed through countless dangers, and now it is really much better than Kunlun's perched branch bird!

"Okay, okay, if you rub it again, your clothes will be torn. Xiao Qianye let out a rare doting chuckle, then pushed the bird's head back hard, and patted the other party's head again, and then asked the subject directly, "Why did you come to Los Angeles? Usually the imperial capital uses hummingbirds to send messages, this time I sent you over, is there anything else to bring to me?"

As he spoke, he nervously pulled Yun Xiao over, let her stand in front of the Tianzheng Bird, and said, "You tell her, she can understand." ”

Yun Xiao snorted and laughed, and suddenly felt that the person who was always serious around her was a little cute, and the Tianzheng Bird blinked, even if it was a bird, it seemed to really show a shocked expression at this time, its eyelids blinked quickly, flapping one of its wings, like a human being who was impatient and didn't know how to express it, and jumped a few times on the spot with its paws.

"What is it talking about?" Xiao Qianye didn't understand at all, his eyes wandered back and forth between Big Bird and Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao covered her mouth and smiled secretly, for some reason she pulled Xiao Qianye by her hand, wrapped her arms around him and stepped forward to get closer to Big Bird's face, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, it was indeed me who called you over with the fire of the Spirit Phoenix just now, you don't have to recognize me as the master, this guy is your master." ”

Xiao Qianye glanced at his Tianzheng Bird in embarrassment, it communicated with Yun Xiao in such an instant, and it was about to take the initiative to recognize the master?139 Reading Network

"Who asked you to come?" Yun Xiao opened her mouth unhurriedly, which also calmed down the big bird in front of her, which was in a precarious position, and opened its mouth to say something, the more it talked, the more excited it became, and couldn't help jumping in place again, and in the end, it even spread its two wings and flapped back and forth, looking so anxious.

Xiao Qianye looked at it like this, and didn't know what it was talking about, so she was even more anxious, so she wanted to ask, and saw Yun Xiao's stunned face again, and her smile froze on her face and didn't move.

"Ah Xiao, Ah Xiao!" He shook Yun Xiao slightly, seeing that Yun Xiao came back to his senses, the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down his cheeks like pearls, and immediately realized that there was a hidden secret, Xiao Qianye took a deep breath, patted her shoulder first to calm her down, and then held back his emotions and asked, "What's wrong, what did Tianzheng Bird tell you?"

Yun Xiao said "um", holding his hand with one hand, it was more like trying to appease his emotions, and said in a low voice: "It was Mingxi who specially brought it, about, about your eldest brother Xiao Yibai's ......"

At the moment of mentioning the name, Yun Xiao felt that hand tremble violently, and quickly pulled it into his arms, and continued: "In the past month, Xiao Yibai's physical condition has become worse and worse, he coughs at night, and almost every day he wakes up with blood on his pillow. ”

"He's sick......" Xiao Qianye blurted out in a daze, his eyes stiffly turned to the direction of the imperial capital, Yun Xiao nodded, rubbed his hands that had been cold, and continued, "In the last few days, not only has the night cough not improved, but the corners of his mouth will be bloody when he occasionally speaks, His Majesty suspects that it is caused by the night spell left by the Night King on his body, and invited the Moon Saintess to go over to check, but he is still helpless." ”

Xiao Qianye chuckled in his heart, his mind went blank for a short time, and he remembered something even more terrifying - the Night King once said that if the spiritual power of the Soul Splitting Dafa stays in the soul body for a long time, it will cause irreversible damage to the body, and the existence of the night curse is to block the spiritual power of the eldest brother, but he also blocked this damage, why is the situation of the eldest brother still getting more and more serious?

No, he has no reason to deceive himself with the most important bargaining chip, it will be a move that will not outweigh the losses, if so, is it because of the deterioration of the eldest brother's own health?

The more he thought about it, the more confused the thoughts in his mind became, Yun Xiao looked at him worriedly, and continued: "Mingxi seems to want you to take him away, human medical skills can no longer help him control his condition, he hopes that you can take him to the Heavenly Realm, maybe the unique mental martial arts there can save the eldest brother." ”

Xiao Qianye's eyes lit up, and he didn't want to blurt out: "Let me take him?" Mingxi...... So kind?"

Yun Xiao was also puzzled, but still relayed the words of Tianzheng Bird one by one: "The eldest brother is still in the Tianzheng Mansion, because of what you have done, there have always been ministers who have jointly asked him to be executed to calm the hearts of the people, and now there are more than 30 ministers who have signed a joint name, if the number continues to increase, he will have to respond to this, otherwise as a monarch, ignoring the advice of the ministers will only cause greater contradictions, he can neither help him heal, nor can he defend him regardless of persuasion, and let you come back and take him away, which is the best way at the moment." ”

Xiao Qianye raised his eyes slightly, and was skeptical, judging from his understanding of Mingxi, he and the Night King are essentially the same kind of people, and it is impossible to give up the biggest bargaining chip that can contain him so easily, does he really want to return the eldest brother to himself, or is he using this as an excuse for other purposes?

Is it really just out of friendship during the crown prince's period that the current Emperor Tianzun willingly gave up his bargaining chips and really just wanted to save his eldest brother?

"Ah Xiao, you stay here. Xiao Qianye suddenly spoke, with a firmness in his eyes, "I don't know what Mingxi wants to do, but no matter whether the words brought back by Tianzheng Bird are true or not, I must go back and bring the eldest brother out, you wait for me here, the imperial capital is dangerous, I don't want you to follow me to take risks, Uncle Qiushui and Senior Brother Tianche, I will also pay more attention." ”

Yun Xiao opened her mouth, but this time she rarely lost her temper with him again, she nodded lightly, trying to raise a bright smile.

Xiao Qianye's eyes flashed, still a little uneasy, and then turned to the big white bird, and said seriously: "You stay to protect her." ”

Tianzheng Bird heard the master's long-lost order, and responded with a low chirp, Yun Xiao's face was slightly red, and he muttered in a low voice: "I'm hiding here and not going anywhere, I will definitely not cause you trouble, you don't have to let a bird protect me, Mingxi specially sent the big bird back to you, isn't it more convenient for you to go back?"

"It's too big and eye-catching, so I'd better keep it for you. Xiao Qianye casually made excuses, touched the bird's feathers with one hand, touched Yun Xiao's head with the other, took a deep breath and jumped directly on the sword spirit, still extremely worried and listened in mid-air for a while, and instructed: "Don't go anywhere, just wait here for me to come back to pick you up, there is a soul of the soul division Dafa on the Likong Sword, and you must tell me in time if you are in danger." ”

"Got it, got it. Yun Xiao smiled indifferently, waved her hand, and simply sat on the ground against the big bird, wrapped one hand around the bird's neck, and comforted him in turn, "Go quickly, don't worry about me." ”

Xiao Qianye looked at her helplessly, she hugged the big bird and kissed and smiled, like a friend who had been reunited for a long time, muttering in her mouth and not knowing what she was saying.

Then the sword spirit deflected and left quietly in the direction of the east gate of Tianyu City.

Yun Xiao jumped up from the ground, worriedly wringed her hands and looked at the direction where the sword spirit disappeared, and forcefully closed her eyes to perceive the separated soul and soul - since that night with him, the breath of the spirit phoenix instinctively rejected the foreign race, causing the body's perception of the soul splitting Dafa to almost turn sharply, very weak, like a thin stream, not easy to detect.

When she opened her eyes again, Yun Xiao seemed to be a little anxious, her face was a little uncomfortable, and she was unconsciously pacing back and forth around the big bird.
