Ye Qing walked out of the school gate, and the sky was as dark as ink, like a huge and desolate curtain.
The air in early summer was a little fishy and sweet, which was the warm wind blowing from the distant lake. Ye Qing's whole body was immersed in this warm wind, but his mind was as cold as snow.
She didn't call anyone. Ge Sheng also had his own work, and she also had things that only she could do.
Along the way, Ye Ye's streets were deserted late at night. Only the swan street lights on the roadside were shining brightly. This powerful city was like a small glass urn in the eyes of many people, and Ye Qing walked to the glass urn. heartland.
It is strange to say that that person's residence is so close to His Highness the Third Prince's residence, separated only by a street lined with buildings.
The door was locked, and Ye Qing was not surprised. She walked up to the thick iron door with thousands of lines on it and reached out to knock on it.
The countless sound waves emitted from the surface of the iron gate, just like a stone falling into a lake and causing thousands of ripples, and then disappeared without a trace, like someone smoothing the wrinkles on clothes with their hands.
Just like when Xili knocked on the door of Ye Ye City and made the whole city tremble, Ye Qing's behavior at this time was no less than hitting a copper bell with a heavy hammer.
At this time, the bronze bell was this huge and luxurious mansion.
But no one answered.
Ye Qing was very angry. She knocked on the door so hard that the ears of the people inside would be numb as if they were in a bronze bell. However, no one answered at this time, or the people inside blocked their ears.
"If you don't open the door again, I'll kick the door down!" Ye Qing growled softly.
The door opened.
The heavy iron door opened inward, and the girl in white emerged from the door.
White clothes, silver hair, golden eyes.
Xingxi was wearing a white nightgown at home. Her long silver hair that originally reached her legs was cut to her ears. Her feet were bare and she had no shoes on. She stepped on the marble road with her bare feet, which were actually whiter than pure white stones. Up a few points.
Ye Qing is a bit sarcastic. She has never been good at dealing with people like the Third Highness. Naturally, Xing Xi is also included. Especially after she owed this girl such a huge favor in the Forest of Death, it always feels a bit awkward to see her again. Can't hold my head up.
However, compared with the last time we met in the Lake of Tranquility, Xingxi didn't have such terrible scars on her body at this time. The girl at that time seemed to have crawled out of hell, her whole body was covered with dark rotten flesh, and she exuded a bad smell. There was a burning smell, but Qian Mo held her as if he were holding his favorite person, placing her carefully in front of Xiao like a feather.
Xingxi now looked as clean as a completely different person, without wearing a veil. Her exquisite face was second only to His Highness the Third Highness among the peers Ye Qing knew.
"Xi Che doesn't want to see you." Xing Xi said lightly.
Saying this, Xingxi wanted to close the door and leave.
But how could Ye Qing let her leave? She was so fast, and she had to go in first.
This mansion of the Ste royal family was densely covered with extremely advanced formations and magic patterns. If he didn't go in now, Ye Qing would have to tear down the entire house if he wanted to get in.
Xing Xi stretched out her hand and grabbed Ye Qing's wrist. Ye Qing was a little surprised that her strength was so light, but what was faster was her body's reaction. Her wrist flicked and flicked, and Ye Qing saw Xing Xi The whole person flew out, and then fell heavily into the garden a few meters away. The white nightgown was stained with the green juice of the soil and vegetation.
Ye Qing panicked.
She rushed forward in a hurry to check Xing Xi's injuries. Although she knew that even an ordinary person might not be injured due to her own strength, she was really scared at that moment.
But there was someone faster than him.
When Ye Qing took the first step, in the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he walked out of the long corridor at the end of the road. Ye Qing only took one step, but he walked hundreds of steps. When the girl's step fell, the spring of the fourth year of Qingli was already half-kneeling. In front of Xingxi, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the girl: "Why, hit my sister?"
Ye Qing forgot how long it had been since he saw this person.
He still seemed to be no different from the down-and-out killer he was five years ago. She still remembered that when they first met, he was pressed against the wall and a whole jug of bad wine was poured over his head, and he raised his head with interest. Go pick it up.
Still blond, still with a strong face that looks both young and middle-aged, but their current identities have finally drifted away.
"I'm not happy." Ye Qing just said this.
She forgot what she said to the other party when they last met, but she knew that she was unhappy when she met the other party last time.
She obviously likes this man very much, but why is she so unhappy every time they meet.
This is the most unhappy place.
Xi Che didn't respond. He just lifted Xing Xi up from the ground, and then helped her wipe the dirt off her body. As for the stained colors, he couldn't do anything about it for a while, and then he turned back to look at Ye Qing: "I'm actually not happy either. , but it has nothing to do with what happened just now.”
He reached out and took Xing Xi's hand: "Thanks to you, my sister is useless. I thank you for bringing me a living sister, so that I won't go crazy and want to destroy the world, because I protected you in the first place." I gave the order, but I didn’t expect that you were all crazy.”
The blond man smiled bitterly: "Yes, I am crazy enough myself, but then I saw a girl who is even crazier than me."
Xing Xi remained silent until now and then said lightly: "My own decision."
Only then did Ye Qing realize that Xing Xi's voice was different from usual. It used to be a cold and emotionless voice like His Highness's, but now it was more like a weak and cold female voice: "Also, I forgot just now. My own situation has nothing to do with the Ninth Princess."
"When you said that, I remembered it." Xi Che said calmly from the side: "When I came here in the past, no one dared to touch me when you were around me. Now that you have become like this, am I throwing myself into a trap if I come here? ?”
"No." Xing Xi shook her head and objected: "As always, you will not die before I die."
"Because I was standing in front of you before that." Xiche mocked: "You will die only when I have no strength to protect you, and then it will be my turn to die."
After saying this, Xi Che turned to Ye Qing formally: "I didn't expect you to come. In my memory, you are still that child. I didn't expect you would grow up so quickly without paying attention, and you would grow into a person that I have to... A girl who takes it seriously.”
"Also." Xiche smiled, with a gentle and calm expression: "And it's very beautiful."
Ye Qing has grown taller and taller. She has gradually grown into a real girl. Those fans in the academy who like her will no longer be in danger of being slandered as pedophiles. She is wearing the magic weapon carefully made by herself. , the cost of just one set is more than the cost of a battleship, and under the magic weapon, there is also the Eternal Sky Formation that can be activated at any time and the Golden Scale that can kill saints.
But facing her like this, Xiche's first formal greeting turned out to be very beautiful.
Ye Qing was a little confused.
Ye Qing has never seen such a low-key and luxurious palace.
She walked behind the brother and sister. Under her feet was a red sandalwood floor covered with gold inscriptions and inlaid with gems of various colors. The corridors were lined with portraits, one after another of men and women she didn't know at all. He stared at himself silently.
This palace was bigger than she had imagined, and it was bigger than it appeared, even though Ye Qing already knew that this was the royal family's palace in Yeye City, and that the Emperor had stayed here during his Western Expedition.
But before entering, all the imaginations turned out to be illusory.
You can think that the value of the gold you step on is immeasurable, but the magic patterns they connect to each other are even more valuable. It is their existence that makes this palace built for hundreds of years still remain new, even if it is dozens of years old. It is uninhabited for many years and will not be covered with a speck of dust.
But under the magic lines, those thick and heavy red sandalwood exudes a quiet and elegant fragrance. These precious woods have become less and less visible to ordinary people. They can only be found in inaccessible virgin forests. Traces, such a large piece of wood can cover half of the corridor, its value far exceeds the same weight of gold, the gems and pearls inlaid on it illuminate the entire space from bottom to top, the smallest ones have A gemstone the size of a dove egg can be easily set into any emperor's crown, but here it is allowed to be trampled and worn away.
As for the people who looked at him vividly in the portrait, Ye Qing did not recognize them, but this did not hinder Ye Qing from appreciating the exquisite skills of the painting itself.
Ye Qing is the fourth princess of the empire. She has grown up in that huge and magnificent palace since she was a child, but no palace she has ever seen has such an almost extravagant decoration as the one in front of her.
"Don't be surprised. This only shows that you were very rich here." Xiche did not look back. He looked at the portraits in the corridors on both sides as he walked, until he stopped in front of one of them: "Of course you don't recognize everyone here." People, because they are all warriors who died conquering this place, but you should know this one.”
Ye Qing looked at the painting in front of Xi Che. The person in the painting was so famous that it was impossible for Ye Qing not to recognize him: "Commander of the Blazing Legion, Marshal Xi Chen the Conqueror."
The portrait shows a heroic blond soldier. He holds a sword tightly in front of his chest with both hands and adopts a standard warrior posture. However, it cannot hide the feeling that he stands out from the crowd in these portraits.
He is usually juxtaposed with those ordinary warriors, but when you look at him, you can separate him from the others at a glance.
"Yes, our future saint." Xi Che chuckled with an incomprehensible expression: "Before every battle, he would ask the painter to draw a portrait of him, and then lead his blazing army in the blood and fire. During the attack, he suffered many injuries, each time more serious than the last, but he survived in the end and is still alive today."
"Whenever he conquers the next kingdom, he will open the kingdom's treasury. Except for the part rewarded to the soldiers, the rest will be built like this in a palace for the initial emperor who comes later to live. And the soldiers who died in the battle will The portraits will remain here forever, as part of their meritorious service, and will be reviewed by His Majesty who is here. They dedicated their loyalty and lives to us, and we will remember them in return."
Xiche said calmly, without any wavering in his tone.
"Are they all here?" Ye Qing asked.
"No." Xi Che shook his head: "So the soldiers of the Blazing Legion are naturally among them, but for ordinary soldiers, they can only leave one name, the one engraved deep in the palace. On the chair, if you are aware of your mortality before the battle, you can also ask a painter to draw a picture for you, and then hand it over to the judges. After it is confirmed that you are dead, your picture can be hung in the corridor of the palace of that kingdom. among.”
"Although I have not been to every palace, among the palaces I have seen, Ye Ye is undoubtedly the most expensive one."
Xi Che finally turned around, with a sharp sword-like light in his golden eyes: "There are the most portraits here, and the most expensive decorations."
"At that time, the Lanye Empire was far from being established, and I was not in the mood to pursue the crimes of your invaders." Ye Qing looked into the other party's eyes and said calmly: "I just want to know if you have any plans to add more portraits here. ?”
"Spare me." Xi Che said with a smile: "I was fighting in full swing in the south. The smell of those elf girls' bows and arrows, don't tell me, they are so charming. There are already enough portraits of Xikjiao, not so much for the time being. More painters will paint.”
Ye Qing sneered: "So you have plans for the future?"
"Who can tell what will happen in the future?" Xi Che touched the sword in Marshal Xi Chen's hand with his hand: "Just like the conqueror Xi Chen at that time, he could have imagined that he would become the first saint of mankind. , and gave up everything they owned. Some people can see the past clearly, and some people can see the future, but for us ants in this world, we can only grasp some things at the moment."
Ye Qing accepted Xi Chen's words and ended this unhappy topic: "So now, you are far away from the bows and arrows of the elves, and what are you doing here with a broken weapon?"
"Of course it's something more important than that." Xi Che shrugged and continued to walk forward, while Xing Xi and Ye Qing followed silently.
"I don't know who you got this information from, but there are always some people in this city who know. Let me make a guess." Xi Che said as he walked forward.
"I can't hide what Yi Lanshan wants to know from him. Two of my chefs at Sick Point are his. Because I like the veal they grill the most, I have been reluctant to kill them. But my current substitute can't get used to it. It's such a strong smell, so I'm afraid it has been spread here." Xi Che smiled faintly and seemed to be saying something very simple: "But if you have known Yi Lanshan for a long time, you will understand that his things are not that easy to get. Besides, this is information worth selling, so it’s probably not Yi Lanshan.”
"As for that ghost girl Christie, it is like her candy. Once you get it, you will become more and more dependent on her, so that you can no longer do without the sweet and dreamy taste, until you fall into the boundless abyss." When talking about Christie, Xi Che's lips were obviously smiling: "I really don't know much about her engagement with that brat Ge Sheng. After all, I'm still far from being omniscient and omnipotent, otherwise I wouldn't take the liberty to ask her Proposed."
"If you didn't have Ge Sheng's relationship, she would be your most reliable helper. After all, that girl is an out-and-out good person, and she has a close relationship with the Crown Princess of Os."
"But if it weren't for Christie, then there would be very few people in this city who knew about my existence. Although Ao Xuehua's ears and eyes are sensitive, this is not Aos after all. I am still confident that she will not find out. After all, I am also There’s no need to declare I’m here like last time.”
Xiche shook his head and finally said: "It's the same with the elves. They have this ability, but without the blessing of the home field, they don't have enough tentacles to detect all this."
"But I don't believe that you, a girl, can guess that I will be here today."
"Tell me about it. I can provide equivalent information about this."
Ye Qing nodded.
In fact, she was also curious about why Yibi knew such hidden information, but at this time, she was still a little happy to make the other party frustrated.
"Beiluan was attacked, and all the lost notes he was carrying were taken away."
But when he spoke, he said something completely unrelated.
