Seventy-eight, two kings of the Western Regions
The vast Western sands are filled with wind eroding the city walls that have experienced vicissitudes. A city miraculously stands between the desert of death, raising the only remaining oasis.
When she cried and flapped her wings, she fell into the inner city of the sand city. Two tightly wrapped servants immediately stepped forward to support the woman and helped her down the bird's back: "Mr. Tuxi, you are back."
Tuxi answered lightly, stretched out his hand to the servant's arm, and slowly stepped on a servant's back and put his feet on the back. She went down to the ground, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Before she could open her mouth, the servant beside her looked at Ling Xi and asked, "Sir, is this the messenger you invited from the cliff country?"
"Bold, this is a distinguished guest from Guyun Sect, so how can you ask randomly?" Tuxi shouted at the servant and stretched out his hand toward Ling Xi: "Sir, please."
Ling Xi was too lazy to be as troublesome as her, so she jumped off the bird's back. Seeing this, Tu Xi smiled twice, withdrew her hand and guided Ling Xi: "Please follow me, this time Ming Zai should rest in the side palace."
Ling Xi followed Tu Xi all the way through the tree-covered path. Many servants greeted her when they saw the woman. It was obvious that she had an extraordinary identity.
"Tuxi." A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and a high golden hat came over. The man was blonde and blue-eyed, with a thorn on his chin. His clothes and patterns were all luxurious, demonstrating his master's status. He smiled and greeted him.
"Brother Elilius?" Tuxi was surprised when he saw the man, and saluted respectfully and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to attend my brother's banquet. All kings and princes from all over the country have arrived. You can go quickly." Eliluos deliberately glanced at Ling Xi and led the golden armored guards listed in two rows behind him to leave.
"He is the brother of the Ming Zaigong. He failed to fight for inheritance fifteen years ago and has always held a grudge against the Ming Zaigong. However, he has been deeply supported by the kings and princes from all over the country, and the Ming Zaigong cannot move him." Tuxi and Elirius introduced to Ling Xi after he left.
"You call him Brother Wang?"
"I am the younger sister of the Prince Ming Zai. For us, except for the special princes who are women, ordinary women can only be used as accessories to the family. My two sisters married far away to the Tianwu Empire as princesses. I was the confidant of the Prince Ming Zai, so I was able to stay."
"Your Western Regions are really chaotic. Is this person named Eliyus colluding with the royal court?"
"It is not clear that our spies have not found any evidence of Elius' contact with the royal court. Even if they find it, with Elius's position in the hearts of many princes, the Ming Dynasty cannot do anything."
Ling Xi smiled, not caring too much about it. He did not come here to investigate spies, and even the king may not be willing to do so.
In a blink of an eye, the two of them came to a hall chatting. More than a dozen soldiers were divided into two groups, each standing on one side. One group was the guards Ling Xi had just seen following Elius, and the other group should be the soldiers of the Ming Zai King.
Although the soldiers on both sides were not tense, they were not much better, and they were always wary of each other.
When both sides saw the two approaching, they all looked at them. Ling Xi paused, and the gaze of more than a dozen masters of the spiritual cultivation realm with a deep level made him feel scared and he hated this feeling. He had a premonition in his heart that it was impossible to get something that could be so easy to get, but he didn't expect that the atmosphere in the Western Regions had reached this level.
The soldiers on the side of the Ming Dynasty recognized Tu Xi, took a step back, and made way for the gate where he was guarding, and let the two of them in.
Tuxi didn't say much, and as usual, he reminded him to be careful and led Ling Xi into the hall. A servant hurriedly held various flowers in his hands and staggered into the hall, without paying attention to the soldiers on both sides, and rushed straight towards the door of Elius's guard.
Elilius's guards all retreated brutally and asked him to get out of here, completely ignoring Ming's territory.
The flowers fell all over the ground, and the servant noticed that all the people in front of him were masters whom he could not afford to offend. He responded tremblingly and picked up the branches again.
"What are you doing? Who gives you the power to prevent the servants of the Holy King from entering the palace?" Ming's soldiers shouted loudly and stepped forward to rush to the guards of Eliluis.
"Don't annoy you, or you will chop it together." Eliluus's guard was so angry that he clenched the hilt of the knife and choked back.
"Looking for death." Ming's soldiers in the king simply pulled out their swords. Seeing this, the guards also pulled out their long swords and stepped forward to approach the soldiers. The conflict between the two sides was about to break out and they were about to take action.
"Get back!" A call came from the hall. Elius came out with another man in the same gorgeous clothes.
Upon hearing this, the guards lowered their heads and said nothing, inserted the knife back into the scabbard and stepped back to bow.
When Tuxi saw the man beside Eliluus, he knelt down with the soldiers behind him and said, "Long live the prince."
Suddenly, except Ling Xi, standing alone in the field, everyone else knelt down.
"Who gives you the courage to be arrogant here." Eliluus came to the guards with his hands behind his back and scolded him loudly, saying to the man beside him: "Brother, I'm so sorry, my people don't understand etiquette, which makes you lose your interest."
The man wore a crown on his head, and it was the King of Ming Zai. He glanced at Eliyus's guard casually and waved, "It's okay, it's just a group of dogs. If you teach them a lesson today, they will forget tomorrow."
"Tuxi, are you back?" Ming Zai Prince helped Tuxi up: "How many times have I said that you don't have to kneel down when you see me, just behave as usual."
"I have brought you good news from the Yaguo. They have agreed to send troops and will be able to enter the pass in just half a month."
Elius, who was standing beside him, had a clear change in his face when he heard this.
"Well, I'm worthy of being my sister," Ming took the letter with satisfaction, looked at Ling Xi and asked, "Is this a messenger sent by Yaguo?"
"This is a senior from Guyun Sect. Thanks to him, I can ask for help from Yaguo." Tuxi introduced.
Ling Xi nodded at the prince and said in a hoarse and old voice: "Hello."
"Hello, don't know what to call him?" Ming Zai Wang didn't know the details of Ling Xi. He heard his tone and thought he was a master who was hidden in Guyun Sect, and he respectfully said.
"Ling..." "Lin Yi." Ling Xi interrupted Tu Xi's words and said to herself. Tu Xi and Ling Xi looked at each other, said nothing more, and closed their mouths tactfully.
"Senior Lin Yi, I have not introduced myself yet. I am the brother of the Prince Ming Zai, Eliluus." Eliluus took the initiative to come up to say hello and salute with a graceful manner.
"Yeah." Ling Xi knew that he had a spiritual outfit to protect him, and that others could not see the details, otherwise he would not be so polite if he had only one part of spiritual cultivation. He was afraid that he would reveal his flaws when he said too much, so he walked into the hall: "Let's go in, don't stay outside all the time."
"Okay, please come in." Ming Zai-gun raised his hand and signaled Ling Xi to leave first and follow him.
A long table was laid in the hall, filled with various rare foods, and a fountain of clear water emerged casually, allowing people to drink.
Dozens of noble princes and princes scattered in the hall and had a pleasant conversation, each showing the noble temperament. In the corner, a blue-purple gauze covered the face of a beautiful woman, letting her hair droop down half of her waist, sitting alone in a corner in a daze. Several young princes wanted to come and say hello, but the woman persuaded her to leave after a few words.
"Look, who is coming in?" The two princes and princes whispered, stopped their movements and looked at the door.
The beautiful woman also looked over when she heard this. When she touched Ling Xi in front of her, she quickly took back her eyes and looked at him again. Her expression under the scarf was complicated.
For a moment, he looked at Ling Xi so many times that he didn't notice the woman, but only felt dozens of people in front of him looking at him.
Everyone was at a loss, wondering who the man in black robe who could walk in front of Ming Zai and Eliyuz was.
"Everyone, be quiet." Ming Zai said in a deep voice and said to everyone present: "I believe you can see the extraordinaryness of this senior beside me. He is a master who came to visit our Western Regions Principality on behalf of Guyun Sect, Senior Lin Yi."
Everyone applauded, and for a moment, the hall was filled with applause.
Ling Xi straightened her back so that they could not see that they had the air of being a "master". She stepped forward and glanced at them a few steps. The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a few seconds, and the princes all stepped forward and raised their glasses to please Ling Xi.
Ling Xi refused the invitation and introduction of the princes and princes, and pushed them all to Tuxi for processing.
Ming Zai asked Ling Xi to sit down and discuss together. Ling Xi suddenly noticed that a gaze had not dissipated and stared at him for a long time. He looked over with his feelings. A woman with fair skin was looking at him. When he saw him looking at him, he quickly looked away.
Logically speaking, how could there be such a fair person in the Western Regions be so sunny? All the women who Ling Xi has seen here are brassy skins. She seems to be very interested in Ling Xi.
Ling Xi was a little confused, Chaoming asked the prince: "That prince is..."
"I don't know much about that person who has just succeeded to the throne in recent years." The Ming Dynasty prince didn't even know the background of the woman, which made Ling Xi question.
"You are a prince, why don't you even know who the prince is?"
Ming Zai Gong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Senior Lin Yi, you don't know. The kings and princes were selected according to their local customs. The selected kings and princes should be informed to me, but now I am not as powerful as my brother, so these kings and princes will naturally inform me. The kings and princes came to my banquet for my brother's sake. What do you think a prince like me, who doesn't know the news about the kings and princes?"
No wonder the king of Mingzai asked the neighboring countries to send troops to help him deal with the royal forces in the country. He was so imprisoned by Eliluus that it was understandable that the gang of guards had just been so arrogant.
"Part of the reason I came here is to eradicate the royal court power here. I hope that the Ming Dynasty can make the Western Regions jointly oppose the royal court's rule. You know that I, Guyun Zong, have always been in conflict with them, so there is no need to doubt whether this statement is true or false."
"Of course this is good. But... what's your other reason?" Ming Zai was very happy at first, and then hesitated.
