Chapter 224
The ethereal and elegant temperament on Li Qing's body, as well as the looming majesty, made Xiu Ke and the others unable to resist and were in awe.
When Xiu Ke saw Li Qing coming, he hurriedly said: "Captain Li Qing, after a few days of rest, they have all recovered, right?" Li Qing said lightly: I have recovered, Mayor Xiu Ke can rest assured! Xiu Ke didn't know what happened to Li Qing this time, Yasen and the others didn't have Li Qing's order, and they didn't dare to tell Xiu Ke everything, but just told him that those demonic beasts had been wiped out and would never come to attack Crewe Town again, and everything would be said after Li Qing woke up.
Shuks asked eagerly: I don't know what happened to those demonic beasts, how did they become so ferocious and aggressive! Li Qing also knew some things, Xiu Ke still didn't know, so he said: It's nothing, it's just that those demonic beasts drank the poisonous spring water in the valley deep in the forest, and they went berserk, and some people took advantage of this to drive the demonic beasts to attack the city, but everything is over, the mountain spring and that person are dead, and such a thing will never happen again in the future, you can rest assured! Hearing Li Qing's words, Mayor Xiux and several other townspeople couldn't help but show joy, and in the future, their town would no longer have to worry about those demonic beasts.
Xiu Ke hurriedly said gratefully: This time, thanks to Captain Li Qing, our town can be saved from the catastrophe of annihilation, and this disaster will be avoided forever! Li Qing said lightly: Everyone is too polite! Xiu Ke said: Captain Li Qing, in order to show our gratitude to you in Crewe Town, our town held a banquet to wash the dust for you! Li Qing was not interested in this kind of entertainment at all, and refused: You don't have to be like this, our Tianhuo mercenary group doesn't like to be lively, so this kind of banquet is not necessary! After hearing Li Qing's refusal, Xiu Ke couldn't help but look at the townspeople and said: This is a little bit of the heart of all the townspeople in Kelu Town, and I also ask the head of Li Qing not to refuse! Li Qing said: Everyone, the inferior people like to be pure, this is all exempt! We will understand your heart! After hearing Li Qing's resolute words, Xiu Ke and the others also surrendered to Li Qing's majesty, so they said: Since Li Qing is so resolute, then we are not reluctant, and we can only say thank you here! Li Qing smiled slightly, expressing his acceptance of this thanks, you must know that Li Qing is indifferent by nature and has no interest in this kind of boring banquet at all.
As soon as Xiu Ke heard that Li Qing was about to leave, he hurriedly said: Why is Commander Li Qing leaving so soon, and I hope to stay a few more days, so let us do our best as landlords! Li Qing said: We still have urgent matters on our bodies, and we have really lost a lot of time when we have been delayed in the past few days! As soon as Xiu Kex heard that Li Qing and the others had important things to do, it was not good to force Li Qing and the others to stay, so he said sincerely: Then I wish you all a smooth journey and success! Li Qing smiled indifferently and said, "Thank you!" Then, Xiu Kex and the others chatted a few more words with Li Qingxu, then said goodbye to Li Qing and the others, and left the hall.
Li Qing and the others also took advantage of the fact that they had nothing to do in the past few days, and they didn't go out, concentrating on meditation and cultivation, and for a while, everyone tried their best to focus on cultivation.
As soon as he entered the Sonam Empire, so many things happened, and he didn't know what was waiting for him, and now improving his strength is the most important thing, after all, one more strength will have the ability to protect himself.
And Angel meditated in the past few days, coupled with the fairy power support of the earth meditation lotus, which made her cultivation improve a lot, in fact, with Angel's wisdom and intelligence, she is definitely a genius of cultivation, but her biggest obstacle is the persistence of the word love, and Xiuzhen is the heavenly heart of the upper body, requiring no desire and no desire, pure and natural.
Li Qing is actually facing the same problem, he is obsessed with love, he can't extricate himself, his thoughts and infatuation with Mengyue, and his guilt and self-blame for Angel have caused a lot of trouble to Li Qing's practice.
Relatively speaking, Amdo and others have made great progress in cultivation because of the removal of demons, and cultivation is not only about talent, but also about chance, once the opportunity comes, it will naturally come naturally, just like Andor in general, how can I never imagine that it is just those naïve children who fly together, and they will have an epiphany and cultivate into a yuanying.
A few days later, everyone has also recovered their vitality, especially Amdo, these days, has been stabilizing his Yuan Baby, because he has just arrived at the Yuan Infant Period, the most important thing now is not to improve his cultivation, but to understand and master the current power.
The members of the other teams had a lot of comprehensions after witnessing Amdo's cultivation improvement and the battle between Li Qing and the Blood Beast Demon General, and they had been digesting these for several days, and they were also very interested in their own cultivation. The thief king also gained a lot, and his words with Li Qing made him improve his use of power a lot.
And Li Qing doesn't dare to rashly improve his cultivation now, once his strength is improved, I'm afraid he will not be able to suppress the demonic nature that fills his soul, it is really worth the loss.
Early in the morning, Li Qing and the others were ready to leave, ready to say goodbye to Xiukes and others, and when they came to the gate, they saw that the street outside the gate was full of people who came to say goodbye.
Those people were full of gratitude and respect for Li Qing and the others' Tianhuo mercenary group, if it weren't for them, I am afraid that the names of the people in the entire town would be lost.
Moreover, Li Qing and others have done so many things, but they do not receive any remuneration, which is really high-spirited and admirable.
The people of Crewe Town have been sending Li Qing and others to the avenue outside the town, and then they are reluctant to return to the town, especially those children are even more reluctant to Amdo, crying to let Amdo stay.
The group rode on horseback and set out again on their quest to find the Scepter of Light.
After leaving Kru Town, everyone discussed it and decided to set off towards the capital of the Sonam Empire, Earthquake City, after all, it was the capital of the Sonam Empire, and clues might be found there.
And the king of thieves has become the leader of everyone, you must know that the king of thieves has not been to except for a few places, almost the entire Xuanling Continent has his footprints, as long as there are treasures, almost all of them have been visited, and he is known as the king of thieves, the head of the thieves union, it can also be said that he is extremely well-informed.
After leaving the small town of Crewe, a few days down, with the change of the road, the scenery in front of everyone also changed, originally there were still empty mountains, towering giant trees, and later it became a variety of rivers, criss-crossed, and the varieties of those trees have also become low willows, a picture of the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River.
The breeze blows, the willows sway gently, there are ducks in the river, the swans swim leisurely, and the white feathers are dotted in the clear water, complementing each other.
The king of thieves rode a horse beside Li Qing and said: We will be able to reach the city of Taile in a few days, and then we will be able to reach the city of the earth-shaking after passing through the city of the moon! Li Qing said leisurely: I don't know how much the king of thieves knows about this city? The king of thieves said with a smile: I have been to this city of earth-shaking more than a dozen times, and I still have two mansions there! In fact, the city of the earthquake is very free and open, as long as you don't break the law, you can do anything, so there are many sects there, all sects are blatant, even our thieves' union is just and bright, there is a club there! Angel next to her also smiled and said: Indeed, I have been to the city twice, and the people there are indeed very open, just like a free country, anyone can enjoy the greatest happiness there! Li Qing said: According to what you said, that Heaven-Shaking City seems to be a paradise, a fairyland on earth! The Thief King smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, there are also extremely harsh laws and regulations there, and once you violate these regulations, the punishment will be quite severe!" After a pause, he continued: In the Heaven-Shaking City, the most powerful is the Dark Demon Sect, but you must not have heard of it, because they are not called this in the Sonam Empire, they call it the Hellfire God Cult. When Angel heard this, she suddenly realized: No wonder, no wonder I didn't hear about the Dark Demon Sect when I was in the Sonam Empire, it turns out that their name is the Dark Fire God Sect! Li Qing looked at the beautiful spring scenery in the distance and said: Whether it is the Dark Demon Sect or the Dark Fire God Sect, we will have to confront it head-on sooner or later! Angel said: That's what I said, why do you have to think so much now, just talk about it when you get to the Heaven-Shaking City! After finishing speaking, everyone grabbed their horses and stepped on the dust to go to the City of Taile.
Sleeping in the open along the way, everyone did not feel hard, but felt closer to nature, the natural atmosphere between heaven and earth made people comfortable and abnormal, almost a feeling of unity between heaven and man.
Everyone seems to be able to feel the pulse of life in the natural world, and that feeling is really mysterious, and the wonderful word cares about one heart.
This kind of feeling makes everyone very comfortable and comfortable, and can almost make people forget all the troubles in the world and indulge in it wholeheartedly, which is what Xiuzhen makes people yearn for so much.
On this day, as the people were marching along the avenue towards the city of Taylor, they saw the dust rolling in front of the avenue, and the sound of horses' hooves rushing towards them, and about four or five people were galloping towards this side on horses.
Li Qing looked at it and saw that these people were all dusty and dusty, their faces were full of fatigue and anxiety, and their clothes were full of mud, and it seemed that they had gone through a long journey.
With the sharp eyes of Li Qing and others, they could see at a glance that the word Kru was embroidered on the right chest of those people's clothes. When Angel saw this, she said to Li Qing: It seems that they are the rescuers sent by Kru Town to the City of Taylor! When everyone heard this, they also knew that what Angel said was true.
When those people rushed to Li Qing and the others, Li Qing immediately motioned to Yasen to stop. Yasin hurriedly said aloud: "Everyone, please stay!" The voice reached the ears of those people unmistakably.
As soon as those people heard Yasen's words, they were immediately startled, pulled the horse rope, and the running horse neighed and stopped, it seems that the riding skills of several people are also quite exquisite.
Several people looked at Li Qing and the others vigilantly, in case there was fraud, and one of them said loudly: I don't know what you are doing to stop us? Li Qing said: You are from Crewe Town? When those people heard this, their faces were shocked, they glanced at each other, and looked at Li Qing vigilantly, their faces were full of vigilance, and one of them said in a deep voice: Who are you, how do you know that we are from Crewe Town? Li Qing smiled indifferently and said: You don't have to be so nervous, we just came out of Crewe Town, you must be the ones who went to the City of Tyle to ask for help? When the man heard this, he could no longer suppress the anxiety in his heart, and asked urgently: What is wrong with Kru Town now, and the people in the other towns are okay? Li Qing said: You don't have to be so anxious, there is nothing going on in Kru Town now, and those demonic beasts have been wiped out! The man said: Really, that's really great, can you tell me the details! So, Yasen told these people in detail what happened, and after hearing this, they couldn't help but show joy, and their hearts that had been hanging for a long time were also relaxed, and they were also grateful to Li Qing and others. Lian Sheng said thank you to Li Qing.
At this time, Li Qing asked: Everyone, didn't you go to Taile City to move the rescuers? Why are only a few of you coming back, what about those rescuers? As soon as they talked about this matter, the people in Kru Town were full of indignation, and the man said: Speaking of this, I am really angry, and the city lord of Taile City is really not a thing! It turned out that several people traveled a long distance and rushed to Taile City day and night to move the rescue troops, but the city lord postponed it under all kinds of excuses, and put a few people in the city, although it was good to eat and live, but they just didn't give them a clear answer, and a few people finally couldn't bear it, and saw that the city lord of Taylor had no intention of helping them at all, so he left Taylor City by himself, and if he wanted to die, he would die with his relatives.
Hearing a few people tell what happened, I understood why, after such a long time, the Taylor rescuers who had been waiting for a long time had not yet arrived, it turned out to be because of this.
Li Qing waited until a few people finished speaking, and said lightly: Everyone, then we won't bother you to go back, everyone please! Those people were also like arrows at this time, said a few words of thanks, hurriedly said goodbye to Li Qing and the others, and galloped towards Kru Town.
When those people in Crewe Town disappeared into the rolling dust, Angel said: It seems that the city lord of Taylor City is not a good person! Li Qing looked at Angel with a light smile and said: It seems that the city lord of Taylor City must also have a friendship with the Dark Demon Sect! Angel asked: Why did Brother Li Qing say that? Li Qingdao: Didn't the thief king say that the Dark Demon Sect was the most powerful in the Sonam Empire, and the Blood Beast Demon General was also the envoy of the Dark Demon Sect? Hearing Li Qing's analysis, Angel and the others admired Li Qing, and they couldn't imagine that Li Qing could deduce the relationship between the two by only hearing the news that the city lord of Taylor did not send troops to rescue.
Angel's eyes showed a look of intoxication, and said: Brother Li Qing is really powerful, it seems that as the eldest brother said, the city lord of Taylor must have something to do with the Dark Demon Sect! Li Qing said: Whether it is true or false, or unknown, when it comes to the city of Taylor, everything will come to an end! Angel said: What the eldest brother said is true! The thief king next to him also said: Since this is the case, then we will speed up and arrive at the city of Taylor as soon as possible! After speaking, he took the lead in riding away. And all the people drove their horses from their crotches and followed after them.
After a journey of more than ten days, the people finally arrived at the city of Taylor.
Let's not mention the situation of Li Qing and others, at this time, the situation in the Tianjing City of the Dajie Empire has been tense, and it is almost full of wind and rain, and it is about to break out.
Dakares XI of the Nadaje Empire is already terminally ill and dying, and may return to the West at any time, and the two princes are fighting for the throne, and they are both on their own side, eyeing each other.
At this time, the third princess Daxiu Jones was forgotten aside, in fact, Dacares had already listened to Ningdas's suggestion and secretly wrote a secret decree to let the third princess Daxiu Jones take over the throne of the emperor.
At this time, the third princess, Daxiu Jones, was also closely protected by Ningma and other Tianhuo mercenaries in case anything happened.
And Ningdas also secretly hid that secret decree and cautiously did not take it out, you must know that the eldest prince Dayin and the second prince Dayan both transferred troops and generals, gathered outside the city and inside the city, and the battle almost broke out.
The worst power is the third princess Daxiu Jones, who has no military power at all, and is alone, only Ningdas and her faction are guarding her side.
In fact, it makes sense that Ningdas didn't take out the secret decree, if he took out the secret decree now, I'm afraid that everyone's spearhead would be aimed at the third princess, and they wanted to get rid of it quickly.
Now the only way to save the three princesses is to let the eldest prince Dayin and the second prince Dayang fight, and everyone will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and when the time is ripe, they will announce the secret decree.
At this time, Nyingma and Nindas were accompanying the third princess, Daxiu Jones, at the sickbed of Dakares XI, who had reached the point where the lamp had run out.
Dacares XI looked at his most beloved daughter with cloudy eyes and said, "Daxiu......! Cough...... The third princess, Daxiu Jones, burst into tears, and cried and said: "Father, I know, you have to rest well, and you have to take care of your body!" Dakares XI turned pale, coughed, gasped and said: I know my own situation, I am dying, you must save your life, the future of the Dajie Empire is in your hands! Daxiu Jones cried and said: I don't want it, I just want you to live well, father! Dakares XI smiled reluctantly and said: "Silly boy, people will die after all, and I am no exception! Lead this country well, and I can go with peace of mind! Then he took a violent breath and said to Ningdas: Master Ningdas, in the future, Daxiu Jones, this child will depend on you, and let you bother! Ningdas nodded heavily, and said firmly to Dakares XI: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you can rest assured, I will definitely help the third princess with all my heart!" Nyingma next to him also said solemnly: Your Majesty the Emperor, rest assured, all of us Tianhuo mercenaries and all the people of the Imperial Academy will swear to protect the princess to the death! Hearing Nyingma and Nindas's solemn assurance, Dakarez XI couldn't help but show a relieved smile on his face, and he didn't have the spirit to continue, and fell asleep deeply, seeing Dakarez XI like this, the third princess Daxiu Jones was even more sad, sobbing endlessly, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and she looked pitiful.
Nyingma patted Daxiu Jones on the shoulder, comforted and said: Princess, you are my good sister, your business is my business, you must take care of your body, you have a heavy responsibility on your body! After the comfort of Nyingma and Nindas, Daxiu Jones slowly stopped crying, and his pretty face showed unprecedented firmness, and said in a resolute voice: Nyingma, Master Ning, you can rest assured, I will definitely inherit my father's last words and lead the Dajie Empire well! Seeing the firmness on Daxiu Jones's face, Ning Das couldn't help but nod secretly, it seems that he and Dakares are not wrong, Daxiu Jones not only has a kind heart that helps the world, but also has a stoic, decisive, and calm character, which is indeed a good emperor's material.
These days, Daxiu Jones has been living with Nyingma and the others, and having a sister with her can also soothe her sad mood.
At this time, the eldest prince Dayin and the second prince Dayin both focused their attention on each other, as long as the father died, as soon as the will was announced, I am afraid that a big war would begin to break out.
The entire city of Tianjing was shrouded in an inexplicable tense atmosphere, and every slightly clever city citizen did not dare to go out casually, for fear of getting into trouble.
What's more, in order to avoid the disaster of this battle for the throne, the family temporarily moved to other places, and then moved back after the matter passed.
At this time, Ningdas was also full of emotion, although he didn't want to be involved in this struggle with the same room, but as a member of the Dajie Empire, he was still involved.
Since Ning Dasi and Li Qing became brothers with different surnames, he didn't like to manage the country very much, and what he liked more was to cultivate the truth, pursue the ethereal and eternal way of heaven.
But often things are not as good as they should be, and perhaps this is the test of Ningdas on the road to cultivation.
And the entire empire is also in an eventful season, on the border, the army of the Apelo Empire is also gathering, and it seems to be moving, and there is an inexplicable killing intent condensed on the border wilderness, as if a big war is about to break out.
The Burning Mountain Pass, which is located in the Heaven Cutting Mountain Range, is also extremely dignified, and the general of the Flame Legion, who is the first god of war in the Dajie Empire, also knows that now is a very difficult time and the situation is tense, so he has stationed troops to store grain and actively prepare for war.
