During the half month since he arrived in Nanata, Wen Yuan had been learning about soil lizard breeding from the Dragon Kingdom envoy. During this period, thanks to Chi Zhaoyue's help, he was able to resonate with the snake on many subtle issues.
"This lizard seems to like places with strong light. At times like this, it will even spread its body flat to absorb the heat energy in the sand." Chi Zhaoyue was playing with two small lizards that had just hatched in their shells.
Wen Yuan knew that he was actually a snake, but he didn't expect that he knew the habits of lizards so well, "These little lizards seem to be quite clinging to you."
"Because the temperature of snakes also changes with the changes in the ambient temperature, they like my current temperature." He whispered in Wen Yuan's ear, and the two of them looked very harmonious as they talked and laughed.
This inevitably made Shen Huaiyan jealous, but after thinking carefully about Chi Zhaoyue's idiotic attitude towards Chunhua, he quickly realized that Chi Zhaoyue just regarded Wen Yuan as his sister-in-law and didn't think much about it.
When a few people were playing with the earth lizards, they suddenly heard the sound of a horn, which in Nanata means that foreigners have entered the territory of Nanata.
The person who came was Keqi's envoy. The King of Desert didn't expect people from Keqi to come here. Didn't he say in his letter not to come in the near future? Contact them after Wen Yuan leaves.
Why did it come here...or should I say...
The Desert King looked at Wen Yuan in horror, only to see the woman looking at him with a proud smile on her face.
This messenger was very discerning, and he immediately recognized Wen Yuan, who had a unique and noble temperament in the crowd, "I've never seen this one before..."
"Oh? It seems you come to Nanata often?" The messenger did not expect that her simple words would be caught so quickly.
While the man hesitated, Wen Yuan smiled in relief, "I was sent by the Dragon Kingdom to learn the techniques of lizard breeding. Nice to meet you."
Now they, the Keqi people, can neither advance nor retreat. They cannot directly point out that Wen Yuan is Princess Shunyang, and they cannot leave her alone...
If he had known it earlier, he would not have come. Why didn't the Desert King, who had no eyesight at all, remind them that Wen Yuan was still in Nanata?
The envoys all stared at the Desert King, their eyes really looked like they were going to chop the Desert King alive.
Wen Yuan watched them dog-eat-dog happily, even the envoys from the Dragon Kingdom behind her. Although she didn't know what happened, it felt good to see Keqi's people deflated.
Wait...what did she say? Come to learn about soil lizard breeding?
The leader of the Keqi envoy once again stared at the Desert King with disbelief.
Didn't this old boy say that the Dragon Kingdom didn't know that they had mastered soil lizard breeding? Why do you not only know it now, but also have a group of people come to learn it?
Co-authored by this old boy, he takes both black and white, right? While holding Long Guo's stinky feet, he begged for mercy with them.
Wen Yuan could tell that Keqi had begun to doubt Nanata's purpose, which was exactly the result she wanted to see.
"Are you Ke Qi also here to learn skills?" Wen Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked provocatively.
How dare they? If they dare to respond, I believe that the Dragon Kingdom's cavalry will trample the gate of their Keqi capital in less than half a month.
The envoys shook their heads in unison, "Then what are you doing here?" Wen Yuan continued to dig holes, looking at the group of people with a kind expression.
"We..." The leader of the envoy hesitated for a long time and could not say a word, "Our king came to the Desert King to make a deal. I heard that Nanata has a new incense, and our princess wants it."
Sweat beaded on the messenger's forehead. Wen Yuan's pressure was so strong that his legs became weak from fear.
Of course, this was also due to Shen Huaiyan, who exerted pressure on these Keqi envoys not far away.
"Oh~" Wen Yuan folded his hands on his chest, looking understanding, "I'm here to buy incense, King of the Desert, why don't you hurry up and refill it for me."
The King of Desert invited Ke Qi's envoy into his main tent like a dog-legger, followed by Wen Yuan.
Seeing his disgusted look, Wen Yuan asked, "What? I can't listen?"
"I can hear it, of course I can..." The King of Desert really couldn't do anything to this woman, and he didn't dare to do anything to her, for fear that Wen Yuan would report to the Emperor of the Dragon Kingdom if he was dissatisfied.
The three of them looked at each other in the main tent, and the atmosphere was really awkward.
Or was Wen Yuan the first to remind the Desert King, "I asked you to find incense, and you forgot so soon?"
"..." The aggressive appearance made the Desert King breathless. The Keqi envoy planned to save the poor man, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll rest for a few days. I'm not in a hurry to leave anyway."
The Desert King thanked him from the bottom of his heart. If it hadn't been for him, Wen Yuan might not have let him go.
"I will continue to work on the little lizard. You two will slowly communicate, communicate well, and communicate in depth."
In three consecutive exchanges, Wen Yuan spoke in an extremely sinister and eccentric manner, and the two grown men shuddered after hearing this, "Yes, yes, please." The Keqi envoy's dog-legged appearance made the Desert King smack his tongue.
As soon as Wen Yuan left the main tent, she heard a quarrel breaking out inside. This was the language of the desert and she couldn't understand it.
But it’s okay, there are people who understand.
At night, the owl took advantage of the darkness and silently sneaked into Wen Yuan's sleeping tent.
Wen Yuan had not fallen asleep at this time, and Shen Huaiyan and others were drinking tea with her in the tent.
"how?"
The two Falcons and Owls were specially trained by Princess Dingnan to protect Wen Yuan. One learned the language of the Far North and the other learned the language of the desert in order to cope with various emergencies.
Owl told Wen Yuan everything he heard, "It was just a normal quarrel, but the two of them have reached a consensus to change the contact method and use the trained Sand Snake."
Sand snakes only live in the desert, hiding day and night. They cannot survive outside the desert. Many wealthy people in Khitan will train sand snakes as a means of communication.
But the training process is not only cumbersome, but also very expensive, so only wealthy people with strong financial resources will not spare the time to train this thing.
"I heard that the letter is put into a specially treated fish bladder and then let the sand snake swallow it. These specially treated fish bladders will not be digested in the snake's belly. When they arrive, there will be a special snake trainer to let them The sand snake spits out its swim bladder."
This is actually a very cruel method. If the sand snake cannot spit it out, it will cut its stomach and take out the letter directly.
Wen Yuan was overjoyed to hear that they were going to use the Sand Snake to send messages, but this happened to happen. She touched the man next to her with her elbow and said, "It's your turn to play."
Chi Zhaoyue swallowed the dumpling in her hand and beat her chest several times, "I know, I know, what do you want me to do?"
The two Falcons and Owls were puzzled, what does this have to do with him? Is it possible that he can still deal with snakes?
In order not to make the two of them suspicious, Wen Yuan explained for him in the middle: "Master Yue is as good as Master Keqi in snake training."
Is that called not losing? That's called complete crushing.
However, considering that he is originally a snake demon, it is not easy to summon some younger snakes, so there is nothing to be proud of.
Late that night, after everyone settled down...
Chi Zhaoyue transformed into his original form, and the scales on his body sparkled in the moonlight, but the bright cyan color always looked dazzling on the yellow sand, making it easy for others to notice, so he also acted with extra caution.
Climbing all the way to the desert king's sleeping tent, the man and the newly acquired beauty were both fast asleep.
Chi Zhaoyue spit out the letter and climbed onto the Desert King's neck. The cold touch made the sleeping man groan, turned over and rubbed the woman next to him before going back to sleep.
Gently biting the inner thigh of the Desert King, Chi Zhaoyue poured some venom into his body, which would only make him comatose and prevent him from dying. After that, he used magic to repair the wound.
Early the next morning, the maid's cry for help echoed through the entire Nanata tribe. Wen Yuan, who was still dressing, ignored her. Anyway, everything was expected.
She turned sideways and whispered a few words into Chunhua's ear, and Chunhua walked out with a wicked smile on her face.
Chunhua was chatting with several young maids from the Dragon Kingdom outside, "This Keqi man fell ill as soon as he came to the Desert King. I heard them quarreling yesterday... Stop talking, stop talking..."
Seeing the envoy of Keqi approaching, Chunhua quickly packed up her things and left, never looking directly into the eyes of the envoy from the beginning to the end.
The messenger quietly followed Chunhua and heard her talking to many people about the incident. Then he saw someone arresting Chunhua.
The day he first arrived in Nanata, he only met Wen Yuan and not Chun Hua. He only thought she was a little maid, so he dared to arrest her so blatantly.
A group of spectators gathered around, and the envoy could only see them whispering, but could not hear clearly what they were saying.
A kind-hearted maid persuaded him to release the spring flowers quickly, otherwise the gods would not be able to save him after a while.
The messenger didn't understand what the maid was talking about, and thought she was trying to scare him, so he whipped out his riding crop and hit Chun Hua on the back without saying a word.
Chunhua endured the severe pain and never screamed, which made the messenger even more angry, and the second and third whips fell.
Wen Yuan came back after not seeing the spring flowers for a long time. He went out to look for them, but he saw the spring flowers being beaten not far away.
Everyone around who wanted to speak for Chunhua was frightened away by the whip in the messenger's hand.
"Stop!" Wen Yuan shouted from a distance, lifted up his skirt and ran to Chunhua quickly to hold her in his arms, "Quickly call the imperial doctor! Call me the accompanying imperial doctor! Hurry up!"
When Shen Huaiyan heard Wen Yuan's shouting and rushed there with Chi Zhaoyue, Wen Yuan was already crying, "Huaiyan... spring flowers... my spring flowers..."
At this time, Chunhua had passed out, and Wen Yuan was crying so hard that she couldn't even say a single word.
Everyone noticed that the weather above them suddenly changed. The sky was clear just a moment ago, but now it was covered with clouds and it looked like it was going to rain at any time.
Only now did Messenger Keqi understand that the person who just came to fight was a very important person to Wen Yuan...
His hand holding the whip began to tremble, especially when he looked into Wen Yuan's gloomy eyes, "I want you to die..."
After saying harsh words, Wen Yuan followed the imperial physician into his sleeping tent and watched the imperial physician treat Chunhua's injuries, "Leave a little scar and I will kill you."
The envoy was caught by Chi Zhaoyue and brought into the tent. Wen Yuan didn't want to see him at all, "Lock him to the stable. I'll settle the score with him later."
The envoy who was thrown into the stable like an animal quickly asked other envoys who were traveling with him to deliver a message to Keqi, but it was too late.
