428.The Southwest War (7)
South fire.
The thousand-year-old city is located in the south of the map of the Eight Wildernesses, because it is located in the hot zone, one-third of the land area is desert and Gobi, so it is also called "the kingdom on the top of the desert".
Although the desert and the Gobi are widespread, this does not affect the fact that Nanluohuo is known as one of the four great powers. In the final analysis, it was the founding ancestors of Nanluo who used their natural force to open up this large area of national territory, and future generations took advantage of the cold.
Generally, the national capital is located in the most prosperous part of the country, but the national capital of the southern fire, Luohuo City, is a little different from other countries.
Falling Fire City is a huge illusion city that can be moved at any time, and can change its location according to the needs of the lord.
Take the recent time five hundred years ago, after Luo Beiming stirred up a conflict with a neighboring small country, in order to effectively suppress the morale of the other party, he directly moved the Falling Fire City to the opposite side of the other party.
Moving a royal city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, it can be seen that while Luobei's cultivation is profound, it also completely crushes the other party spiritually, and the other party surrenders overnight.
However, Falling Fire City was also located in a remote place where the surrounding environment was not very developed, and until the death of Luo Beiming, the merchants of Luo Shiqi had no intention of moving the royal city back to its original location.
As a result, the current Falling Fire City is located in the east of the southern Falling Fire National Boundary, surrounded by mountains, but the terrain is extremely steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.
At this moment, Luo Shiqi was sitting on the throne in the open-air hall, dressed in a graceful and luxurious golden embroidered dragon brocade robe, holding the official documents played by the courtiers in one hand, and scrubbing the temples that were jumping more and more in the other, and his majestic expression gradually became cold.
Below the throne, there is a six-layer fiery red jade stitched together, each layer of steps has a standing position for a person to stand on the left and right, but at present, there are only a few people standing, and Kunpeng is on the second row of steps, and below is the sandstorm, the chirping horse and the cold toad, and there is no Yuzichai and other spiritual envoys.
"Whoa---"
Luo Shiqi put away the official document and frowned rather displeased. The cross scar on his face, which was whitewashed with gold dust into the pattern of a small dragon, matched the delicate face very well.
"Do you all know that?"
Rocky said as he got up.
Walked to Kunpeng's side, glanced at him, and threw the official document in his hand into his arms: "Kunpeng, aren't you the most well-informed?
Kunpeng didn't show the slightest fear because of Luo Shiqi's anger, but he even looked at the content of the official document.
'Lotjue ......'
I didn't see anything else, but just by the word Luo Jue, Kunpeng could also know that it was those people below who were not afraid of many things who told Luo Shiqi about Luo Jue's troubles with the Dragon Clan of the Western Kingdom.
Although it is said that compared to the people who have died suddenly jumping out, what those crepe people care about is whether the fire in the south will be affected by this.
Of course, Kunpeng didn't tell Luo Shiqi because Luo Shiqi has been acting extremely strange recently, as if the villain who killed all his brothers and sisters in order to become the king of the South Fire did not exist, and he asked about the latest developments of Luo Jue every day.
Of course, they were threatened by the Fifth Pupil before, and they were not allowed to do anything to Luo Jue, but Luo Shiqi's recent behavior was really abnormal.
Kunpeng saw that he couldn't hide it after all, so he had to answer: "Lord, my subordinates just think that the West Kingdom is deliberately provoking contradictions between the two countries, as long as they don't pay attention, the other party will naturally ......."
"It's easy to say. Locky interrupted coldly.
After that, he glanced at the Ming Biao next to him.
Ming Qi didn't react for a while.
Luo Shiqi had no choice but to say more gloomily: "Take out your psychic mirror! This king wants you to take a good look at what the situation in the West Kingdom is now!"
Ming Qi hurriedly took out the magic weapon psychic mirror from his pocket, the white mirror surface, vaguely surrounded by white mist.
Directly threw the psychic mirror into the air, and saw the white light floating inside, and soon a pair of centaurs appeared.
At a glance, it was Canglu who was the leader, while Dan Sheng and Lu Li were on the left and right, and everyone was crossing the most conspicuous landmark of Nanluohuo, which was also one of the eighteen miracles of the Eight Wildernesses.
Hundred miles of poetry and painting, like a group of ink paintings from the pen of God, spread for hundreds of miles, not to mention, at night, the portraits flow with the wind and mist, and form a different painting environment from the daytime, like a dream.
Although it is a miracle, it is only a beautiful place, and there is no danger in the slightest. And the Baili poems and paintings are also located not far from the entrance gate of the Falling Fire City.
Kunpeng saw that Canglu and the others had come to the door, although he was taken aback, but he still pretended to be stupid without changing his face: "Lord, these people are the ...... of the Western Kingdom."
"Kunpeng, how much do you have to pretend to be stupid?" Although Luo Shiqi's voice was cold, it didn't change much from just now.
Walking in front of Kunpeng, Kunpeng hurriedly knelt down on one knee, after all, this is in the Falling Fire City, no more comfortable than outside, this should not be less courteous.
Luo Shiqi narrowed his eyes, "If you don't even know who they are, then how can you be worthy of being the fifth-ranked spirit envoy under this throne?
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Kunpeng hurriedly bowed his head.
"You didn't dare, but you did. Why do you want to hide this king's matter? Isn't it that you are afraid that this king will do something to ruin Nanluohuo's reputation?" Luo Shiqi actually knew what Kunpeng was worried about, but because he knew, he felt angry.
Therefore, when he asked, Kunpeng suddenly dared not speak, and he could only swallow bitter water in his stomach.
Looking up, he glanced at Luo Shiqi cautiously, and could only lower his head again.
Luo Shiqi snorted: "You are talking!"
Kunpeng: "......"
"What, silence is better than sound at this time?"
“......”
In the face of Luo Shiqi's questioning and ridicule, Kunpeng had to keep his mouth shut, otherwise, the next thing would definitely be over.
Before the collapse of the Losage character, static braking must be used.
Since Kunpeng didn't speak, there was no place for Luo Shiqi's anger, and in the end, he could only look at Canglu and the others in the psychic mirror, and a trace of cold light that could not be extinguished crossed in his eyes.
"Sandstorm, pass on the king's order, open the entry gate. ”
It's a very calm voice, as if the anger of the square has never appeared quietly.
Sandstorm didn't have time to speak, but Kunpeng finally spoke: "Lord, how can you open the door of convenience for the enemy? This is not ......?"
"Now you know what to say?"
"The subordinates just think it's ......"
"Needless to say, the king knows what he's doing. "Obviously, Rocky's purpose is not what Kunpeng will say.
Leng Leng interrupted Kunpeng, and with a wave of his sleeve, he returned the psychic mirror to Ming Qi.
took off the graceful outer robe on his body, leaving only the slim white robe lined inside: "You guys come with me!"
With an order, Luo Shiqi, who had lost his dragon robe, became the one who usually spoke again, a little less majestic and solemn, and a little more agile and indifferent.
Now there are not many spiritual envoys around Luo Shiqi, and the others have been scattered by him to find the remaining land branches.
Seeing his reaction of wanting to fight, except for Kunpeng, who had a little right to speak, the others didn't dare to say anything at all.
However, now even Kunpeng can't do anything about him, and the others can only obey his orders.
Hurry to keep up.
The other side.
Canglu walked through the hundred miles of poetry and paintings, and just when they were still thinking about how to enter the Falling Fire City, the entrance door of the Falling Fire City suddenly opened for them, and the two iron doors weighing 10,000 catties slowly opened under their noses, and at the same time made a creepy galalaa sound.
Canglu and others are naturally wondering, what does this mean?
Dan Sheng watched the door open, "Big brother, does this mean that we are welcomed?"
Canglu snorted coldly, hiding the surprise in his heart, and said in a somewhat disapproving tone: "It seems that Luo Shiqi is ready." So what are we waiting for, come in!"
As soon as the words fell, the person was the first to dodge through the door.
Dan Sheng hesitated slightly, but since they were all here, it was useless to think about anything.
With a wave of his big hand, he shouted at the people behind him: "Come in!"
Lu Li's people quietly followed behind the dragon people.
The layout of the Falling Fire City is not much different from the general city, as soon as you enter the realm gate, there is a huge open-air square, and through the square, it corresponds to the main hall of the Falling Fire City.
The main hall is divided into three parts, namely the outer hall, where the civil and military officials can wait, the middle hall, where occasional banquets are held, and then the apse where state affairs are discussed, also known as the 'Burning Fire Palace'.
Luo Shiqi's bedroom is next to the Burning Fire Palace, but it is an independent space, and no one can enter it without Luo Shiqi's own order.
Luo Shiqi led the people at the end of the square, that is, outside the gate of the outer hall, and saw Canglu leading in from a long distance.
Naturally, Kura also saw Rosage.
I have to say that it was the first time that Canglu appeared in front of people with an appearance that did not reveal his identity, and he originally felt that it was uncomfortable to cover the dragon horns, but the moment he saw Luo Shiqi, the dragon horns on his forehead were unabashedly exposed.
By the time they arrived not far in front of Luo Shiqi, they had all turned into half-dragon people, unleashing indescribable coercion all over their bodies.
Lu Li's people seemed to be much more low-key, just following closely.
Luo Shiqi stared at the person in front of him, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and suddenly waved his sleeves, stopping the guards on both sides of the square who were about to come forward.
Canglu and Luo Shiqi saw each other for the first time, however, their expressions were different.
Canglu's first reaction when he saw Luo Shiqi seemed to be calm, but there was already an uproar in his heart, and he sighed at Luo Shiqi's hidden strong cultivation.
Luo Shiqi seems to be laughing, but in fact he is sighing.
The prince of the dignified dragon clan, but his cultivation is average, it is really not ordinary and ridiculous.
"You're Rocky?" Dan Sheng asked first, almost knowingly.
Luo Shiqi smiled, "Who are you?"
Not to mention, he didn't know who Dan Sheng was, and this question was simply a provocation.
Dansheng's face turned green directly, but he had to answer this question, "I am the second prince of the Dragon King, Dansheng ......"
Although the dragon clan is not good at keeping company with people, when it comes to names, the external definition is still known.
However, Luo Shiqi showed a confused expression that he had never heard before, and he didn't speak, which made people even more indignant.
"You're ......!"
"Dansheng, don't be rude!"
Canglu hurriedly stopped the angry Dansheng, strode across from Luo Shiqi, his eyes sank, and his voice was lower: "I am Canglu, the first prince of the Dragon King of the Western Kingdom, and I am here to your country today, presumably the reason why the Lord of Luo has also heard about it......"
"I don't have anyone you want. ”
Luo Shiqi made it clear that he would not give face to Xiguo, and just offended Dansheng, he immediately and unceremoniously interrupted Canglu's words.
Cang Lu clenched his fists, "You know what your imperial brother Luo Jue has done to us in the Dragon Clan, right?
“......”
"Luo Jue has killed more than 390 people in my dragon clan, if you can't wait for me to give me an explanation, then don't blame us for using the same method to deal with you Nanluohuo!"
That's a little scary.
As soon as Canglu finished speaking, Luo Shiqi's face became gloomy, and what was more terrifying than Luo Shiqi's face was the sandstorm and other spirit envoys behind him.
Hearing Cang Lu say so loudly, even though they originally had no intention of fighting, they were like tight strings at the moment, and they couldn't wait to fight quickly, so they could break the front teeth that said that kind of earlier!
Seeing that Luo Shiqi didn't happen, Lu Li also followed up and said: "Luo Jue killed my eldest brother and third sister for no reason, this hatred, our Ghost Martial Arts Hall must be clear! Luo Shiqi, you hurry up and hand over the people! As long as Luo Jue is handed over, this has nothing to do with Nanluohuo......
Originally, Luo Shiqi didn't plan to deal with Canglu's provocation, but when he heard Lu Li, who had been silent, suddenly say something about Luo Jue killing Lu Qing and Lu Fengfeng, he wanted to laugh.
Oh, no, he, he really laughed: "Hehe, you are the second son of Lu Tianfeng of the Ghost Martial Arts, Lu Li?"
Lu Li didn't answer, and glared at him with displeased eyes.
And that's the answer.
Luo Shiqi didn't care, "It's just that some people are squirting people with blood, why are you ghost martial arts also involved? What's the matter, don't you have any thoughts about my Nanluo Fire?"
Lu Li was even more angry: "Luo Jue killed my eldest brother and third sister, how can you not repay such an uncommon hatred?" Luo Shiqi, don't think that you are the lord of the southern fire and can do whatever you want, this is clear, killing people to pay for their lives is a matter of course......
"Why should I listen to you unilaterally?"
"Otherwise, you will hand over Luo Jue, and we will face each other face to face!" Regarding this point, Lu Li was not afraid of confrontation.
After all, it was true that he met Lisheng on Longkong Island that day, and as for what happened to the missing Lu Qing and Lu Fengfeng, he could only guess.
Naturally, it is impossible for Losage to confront each other head-on.
Of course, he had never intended to settle the matter peacefully.
Looking at Canglu, looking at Dansheng, and then at Lu Li, his eyes tossed and turned for a few minutes, but he showed even more disdain, and spat out slightly: "I don't believe a word of what you say." ”
"You ......"
"Since you have all brought people to me, as the landlord, I can't let you go back empty-handed. Luo Shiqi said, and the words changed, and the smile between his eyebrows and eyes became stronger.
What the hell is this man up to......
