Fortunately, Princess Jinling did not mean to make things difficult for them, but said:
"Mr. Lu, please rest assured that I am not the kind of villain who would be treacherous. However, what happened to our ancestors is really shocking. Therefore, after this incident is over, I hope you can try not to enter the desert again.
If I hear any rumors that are not good for Jin Tong Country in the future, then the alliance between our two countries will no longer count. Of course, the Central Plains imperial family has a great cause and can open up a new trade route in the desert.
However, in this case, it is impossible to say how much more effort will be expended. "
"Okay, okay, if we want to come to the desert, we will definitely tell you in advance."
Lu Xiaofeng waved his hands helplessly. It was because of this that he didn't like to make friends with those officials.
"That's really great. In that case, please go back to the inn and pack your luggage first. I will personally escort you out of the city with the courtiers later to show our respect for the guests from the upper state."
Princess Jin Ling said with a smile, then turned to look at Chu Qi again. Reversing her attitude when facing the others, she knelt down on one knee, blinked her big Kazilan eyes, and asked piously:
"God Sahe, are you willing to stay?"
Akhtar doesn't care whether God Sahor exists in this world. What she cares about is who this so-called "god" is.
She likes Chuqi.
I like her bright eyes;
I like her flawless and pure appearance;
What I like the most is seeing her sitting high on the throne, but looking at her with indifference.
Ah~ When will God be able to hold her in his eyes?
She doesn't want to be equal to all living beings, and she doesn't want to be like Lu Xiaofeng and the others. She wants more, much more than this.
"As long as you stay, I can promise that we will support you with the entire desert."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Chu Qi. Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou felt even more nervous. Lu Xiaofeng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was pulled away by Hua Manlou beside him. He pulled his sleeves to stop him.
He understood what Hua Manlou meant. Whether he stayed in Jin Tong Country or chose to go with them, it all depended on Chu Qi's own wishes. They should not disturb him.
Lu Xiaofeng understands his friend's thoughtfulness, but he will inevitably feel a little bitter in his heart. It's not that he doesn't trust the relationship between them and Chu Qi, but he never thought that he, a gambler who is keen on wandering around life and death, would also One day I no longer have the courage to gamble.
Fortunately, Chu Qi still chose them firmly as usual.
She didn't say a word, she just stood up easily, gracefully walked down the long steps, and passed by Princess Jin Ling without stopping at all.
Lu Xiaofeng ran forward with a smile on her face, hugged Chu Qi's shoulders, and said loudly:
"Good Chuqi, I knew you couldn't bear to leave us!"
He laughed and looked at Princess Jinling, whose face suddenly became stiff. For a moment, even her hair seemed to be filled with pride.
Princess Jinling stood there blankly, watching Lu Xiaofeng and the others leaving around Chu Qi. For the first time, doubts and confusion appeared in her eyes that had always been calm and composed.
—— Could it be that the conditions she gave were not attractive enough?
That was the honor of being worshiped by the entire desert... No matter how rich and beautiful the Central Plains court was, she believed that the people in power there would not have a higher determination than her.
So, why?
——————
"On the seventh day of the lunar month, let me tell you, after we return to Jiangnan, we will be in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I will take you to see the lanterns then!"
On the long yellow sand, a small group of camels is walking slowly.
Different from the vast number when they arrived, there are only two or three kittens left now. Apart from Lu Xiaofeng, Huamanlou, and Huazhaolou, there are only three kittens left in Taka City by Huazhaolou. Five confidants.
The total number of people in this group was less than a fraction of the number of people in the previous caravan.
They have been gone for seven or eight days, and it will be much faster to go back than when they came here. It is estimated that they will be able to enter the customs by this evening.
Since leaving the Golden Tong Country that day, Chu Qi has always maintained the appearance of the old sword and has never changed back to a human form. And the reason why she did this was to save some energy to maintain her current state of dissipation.
With her acting like this, anyone could tell that there must be a big problem with her body, but no one dared to bring it up.
In order to make her happy, Lu Xiaofeng drew cakes for her every day these days, sometimes saying that the wine at Wanmei Villa was delicious, and sometimes saying that the food on the first floor in the world was more delicious than that in the palace.
The day before yesterday, he said that he would take her to drink flower wine, but Hua Manlou dismissed the idea by saying, "It's inappropriate."
Yesterday, Lu Xiaofeng said again that he wanted to take her to a gambling house. However, this time she didn't have to ask Hua Manlou to ask, but Chu Qi firmly refused.
Then today, Lu Xiaofeng's brain circuit finally became normal, and he finally thought of such romantic things as watching lanterns.
"And more, believe it or not, when we go back, that thief Zhu Ting will definitely have moved back! His hands are the most dexterous. I will ask him to make a sword for you with his own hands. Scabbard, the unparalleled scabbard in the world!"
As Lu Xiaofeng spoke, she excitedly gestured to Chu Qi with her hands. She was twisting and turning on the camel, and Chu Qi was even afraid that he would fall off.
However, Chu Qi was very moved by his thoughtfulness.
That's the master Zhu Ting!
What kind of sword can save eight lifetimes of virtue for him to make the scabbard himself... Wait, her setting seems to be that the swordsmith who made her is Ou Yezi?
Oh, that’s okay!
It was Zhu Ting who had accumulated eight lifetimes of virtue and talent and had the honor to make the scabbard for Master Ou Yezi's sword.
Lu Xiaofeng was still dancing there, saying that when she got back, she would take her to meet Ximen Chuixue, a swordsman, so that he could know what the real "Sword Intent" was.
It's just... I'm afraid they won't have this chance.
"Thank you, Lu Xiaofeng."
Chu Qi, who had not manifested a human body for many days, suddenly changed back to the appearance of the girl in red, her robes fluttered, and she landed on the last free camel, which was also the camel prepared for her by Huamanlou. .
She still looks so pretty when she smiles. There are a pair of small dimples on her cheeks, which makes people who look at her unconsciously indulge in them.
However, for some reason, Lu Xiaofeng always felt that her smile was not as bright as before, and instead had a very faint tinge.
Are you leaving after all?
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng's cat eyes suddenly widened. He stared at the cracks on Chu Qi's face for a while, and finally looked away, as if sighing, he continued to chat about Ximen Chuixue's story.
"When the snow falls, Wanmei Villa will become very beautiful. You are the Sword Spirit, and he is the Sword God. Maybe if you two talk more about the true meaning of swordsmanship, it will help you recover!" "
He awkwardly tried to tease out Chu Qi's physical condition, which made Chu Qi laugh, who had never seen him like this before. Seeing that he was not embarrassed, but looked over more confidently, Chu Qi was interested Teasing him, he nodded and said seriously:
"You are right. Since none of you are willing to be my master, and Ximen Chuixue loves swords so much, maybe he will be willing to do so. After I see him, I must ask him."
This was great. Not only was the information missing, Lu Xiaofeng felt even more uncomfortable. He was a little angry, but he couldn't get angry. He held it in for a while, and finally spit out something dryly - "Ximen Chuixue has already passed away." He has his own wife."
"So what? I want to recognize him as my master, not find a husband. At worst, I will never become an adult again."
Chu Qi's indifferent expression made Lu Xiaofeng so angry that he simply turned around and sat on her back. He stretched out his hand and, although his face was full of ferocity, he pinched her cheek with no energy at all.
"Chu Qi! Why are you so sharp-tongued with a sword? Master Ou Yezi put something weird into the sword furnace when he was forging the sword!"
