The young prince was taken away to play by his subordinates, and there were only four people and one bird left.
Of course, at the beginning of the battle, the little bug wisely chose to stay in the caravan and did not fly to Xia Lei's shoulders until the end of the battle. An ordinary bird did not attract much attention, but Fu Lei and Xi'er
The princess didn't even realize that when she came from the secret Weiwei Road, little bugger's mung bean-sized eyes actually conveyed a look of human surprise.
Eight hundred years ago, the current Longyuan Kingdom was a low-level society that existed in the form of tribes, just like the wilderness in the extreme south.
The founding emperor of Longyuan Kingdom was just the son of a tribal leader at that time. During a hunting trip, he accidentally entered a forbidden place of death.
It was a dangerous place, and some tribes nearby knew about it, but everyone who entered died.
The son of the patriarch did not die, and gained strong fighting power. The most important thing is that he brought knowledge that exceeded that social form-planting, metallurgy, spinning, etc.
With his extremely powerful cultivation and technology, his tribe developed rapidly and annexed countless tribes in just a few years. For ten years, under the elite army and cavalry he led, he still used sticks as weapons.
The residents were completely unable to resist his struggle for hegemony.
In ten years, a country beyond the original form appeared, named Longyuan.
Why didn't the patriarch's son die?
Why did he gain powerful abilities and techniques?
Why is the country called Longyuan?
It's simple, because the place he entered is called Longyuan, and everything he gets comes from there, and this is not just a simple benefit, it is basically a transaction.
"It is said that there is a god in Longyuan, or it may be a devil. It promised to help the founding emperor build a strong country, but it must fulfill a condition after the country is established." Fu Lei's face became ugly.
"What conditions?"
"One hundred thousand girls are given every year."
"What?"
Xia Lei almost fell down, what the hell is going on? Why is it just like a fairy tale, sacrificing a girl to the river god?
No wonder this loyal and commendable general sacrifices 100,000 girls every year without even mentioning that he will be killed. Once this kind of thing spreads, the world will be in chaos. It's not one or two, nor ten or eight, but a full 100,000 girls every year.
As many as 100,000, a total of 80 million girls died in 800 years.
Even Odin, who is the king of gods, gasped and murmured: "What on earth is that thing? What is it going to do?"
"No one knows that the first emperor later refused to fulfill his promise and felt that this method was too cruel. In the end..."
"How did it end?"
"That day, when the time came to sacrifice, the sacrifice was not fulfilled. The first emperor went crazy and jumped into the Dragon Abyss with the prince and princess. After that time, no one dared to break the promise. The curse was too terrible..."
"curse?"
Xia Lei's lips curled up with a touch of coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "It is indeed a curse, or the origin of the soul is controlled. So what kind of place is Longyuan?"
Two hundred miles outside Tianlong City, the imperial capital, there is a huge volcano. Thick smoke erupts all year round and is bottomless. It is the so-called Dragon Abyss. Every year, one hundred thousand girls are secretly sent here by the army from various places.
, it was said that they were sent to the palace to serve as maids, but in fact they were all pushed into Longyuan and died without any body parts.
Every now and then, amazing dragon roars can be heard there. Except for the annual sacrifice, no one dares to go to that ghost place, even without sending troops to guard it.
After listening to this detailed description, Xia Lei was almost certain that it had something to do with the inexplicable restraint.
Longyuan, two hundred miles outside Tianlong City...
After months of continuous exploration, he finally found a clue. Xia Lei took a deep breath and said, "Thank you very much. What are your plans for the future?"
Princess Fu Lei and Princess Xi'er looked miserable. The Longyuan Kingdom spanned a million miles of territory, and thousands of soldiers under their command were dead or injured. With their little ability, they could not escape the pursuit from all over the country.
The only place to go is the wilderness, where they can hide anonymously, but do they have the chance to escape to the wilderness tens of thousands of miles away?
"Xi'er begged Mr. Xia to take him in. This kindness and kindness will never be forgotten..." The little princess cried like a lotus flower.
"this……"
After weighing the left and right, Xia Lei shook his head helplessly: "We are going to Longyuan. This trip is full of dangers. If something happens, no one can protect you, and it will be even more dangerous."
Fu Lei also knew very well that with his little strength, he could not escape the pursuit of the court, so he immediately knelt down on one knee: "Mr.
, Prince Longde loved the people like his own son, was benevolent and righteous, and all his family members were killed by that stupid king, leaving only two orphans. Do you really want to watch them..."
"What do you want me to do?" Xia Lei couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted.
"I will take the princess's crown prince with me to follow you. After you finish your work, I hope you can take some time to send the princess's crown prince to the wilderness. Fu will stay with your husband and be a slave for the rest of his life to repay your great kindness!"
"What do I want you to do as a slave? The key is that the trip to Longyuan is too dangerous. If something happens, we will be overwhelmed and have no time to protect you."
"The two gentlemen are of extremely high cultivation. Fu Mou thinks he is not as good as Eleven, but I think I should have no problem protecting myself and the princess's crown prince."
"Self-preservation?"
Xia Lei really didn't know what to say to him, so he smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, no matter how much I tell you, it's useless, just protect yourself... Hey, that's good. You can change into casual clothes and follow us first, and then find another place when you get there."
Let’s wait here for now. It’s not too late to make plans after we finish our work and are still alive.”
According to his speculation, this continent and even the entire planet have been sealed by some powerful magic power, which is used to deal with the things in Longyuan.
Therefore, in order to release the constraints on mana and soul, the seal must be broken.
One hundred thousand girls are sacrificed every year, most likely to be devoured by that life to enhance its strength and break through the seal. Obviously, this cannot be allowed to continue. If it waits for it to break through the seal on its own, its strength will far exceed that of the one who cannot break the bond.
How can Xia Lei and others still be its opponents?
It would be better to take the initiative to lift the seal a day earlier and forcefully remove it when it is not strong enough than to wait for it to become stronger day by day.
When the seal is released and disappears, there will inevitably be a fierce battle. By then it will be a battle at the level of Daluo Jinxian. With his little cultivation, Fu Lei still wants to protect himself?
Daluo Jinxian can kill him with just one fart!
However, letting them escape would be a dead end. Anyway, they had no scruples about the Longyuan Kingdom's army, so they simply took them with them. As for whether they would live or die, it would be up to fate.
The carriage must not be able to be ridden on. Xia Lei spent a lot of effort to arrange a suspicious formation to make people think that the carriage fell into a cliff dozens of miles away.
Fortunately, the disguise technique does not require magical support. Even though he did not have the corresponding materials at hand, Xia Lei's ability was able to greatly change the disguises of Fu Lei and others. How could ordinary people recognize them?
The group of people who originally fled south went in the opposite direction, aiming directly at Tianlong City, the imperial capital.
Of course, the people in the caravan did not dare to refuse the request of this group of vicious companions. Once they came together, they would be involved in this matter, and they did not dare to take the initiative to reveal the secret.
At this time, a problem occurred.
Neither the princess nor the prince can ride a horse. In order to raise suspicion, the carriage has been thrown off the cliff. The prince and Fu Lei are riding together. What should the princess do?
She was the only woman in the caravan. Although there were many bastards who wanted to ride with the princess, it was a pity that they just thought about it. Fu Lei would kill them alive without the princess refusing.
The princess has a noble status and a rich body, how can these people touch her?
However, if two people ride together, they will inevitably come into contact. In Longyuan Country, which has extremely traditional folk customs, this is absolutely not allowed.
"Mr. Xia, I...can you take me?" Xi'er's fair face turned red and she didn't dare to look up at all.
"oh?"
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, thinking that this little girl is really thin-skinned and shy so easily. Then he smiled and stretched out his hand: "Okay, but my riding skills are not very good."
He doesn't understand the folk customs and traditions of Longyuan Kingdom. Subconsciously, it's just like using motorcycles to carry people on earth. If this is considered too polite, what about those guys who drive motorcycles to carry passengers all day long?
So, he didn't think too much at all, and even took the initiative to stretch out his hand to pull Xi'er onto the horse.
Fu Lei, who was holding the young prince next to him, looked stagnant. He originally wanted to say something, but he swallowed his words again and let out an inaudible sigh: "His Royal Highness suffered such a disaster. Although the princess is a nobleman of the emperor, she is not as good as
In the past, if I could be with Mr. Xia, I could at least save my life, which would be considered a great blessing among misfortunes..."
Xi'er looked at Xia Lei's extended hand, her heart almost jumped out of her mouth, and she raised her delicate hand tremblingly.
"Let's go..."
With a slight pull, Xi'er's feet immediately left the ground, and Xia Lei hugged her with both hands and placed them in front of her. His arms reached out from both sides of her to pull the reins, and he scolded the horse's belly: "Brothers, get on the road."
He didn't notice this gesture, as if he was holding Xi'er in his arms, and he didn't know that Keren'er in his arms was thinking wildly.
Incomparably handsome appearance...
Incredible strength...
Warm and broad chest...
Her father was killed and her whole family was killed. Thousands of cavalry chased her all the way. The formerly aloof princess became a prisoner. Just when she was most frightened, uneasy, helpless and desperate, this man appeared.
That majestic and heroic posture echoed in her mind all the time. She felt the warmth coming from the other person's chest and felt the breath that she had never been close to before. She was really drunk at this moment. Only in his arms could she feel at ease and have peace of mind.
Only with true safety can you sleep for a long time without waking up.
Finally, the fatigue of long-term mental stress came over her, and she fell asleep on the bumpy horseback...
The caravan moved forward at the fastest speed. On the way, many troops were seen in a hurry, and there were many more road cards than before. However, after Xia Lei's disguise, there was no problem with the appearance of the group, and the goods themselves were also good.
It was very safe and there was no trouble.
The sky was getting dark, and the caravan stopped by a small forest near the official road. When Odin walked out of the dense forest dragging various game animals, the bonfire had already been lit...
