Feeling the power of qi and blood in his body gradually filling up, a smile appeared on Gui Wuqi's face.
"Thank you Miss Su for the tea!"
"Thank you!" Hongyun also said sincerely.
Su Xiaoqian smiled slightly: "You two are so polite. You are the distinguished guests of the Holy Master. How dare Xiaoqian neglect you? I will give you other gifts later, please just wait a moment."
"Don't be busy yet."
Liang Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Tea is good tea, but the purpose of our trip is not to drink tea. We also ask Miss Xiaoqian to lead the way so that I can meet your Holy Master."
Su Xiaoqian nodded and said: "The queen has indeed agreed to meet with you. Since the commander is so anxious, I will take you to see the queen now."
After hearing this, everyone looked happy and stood up one after another.
It must be known that Nanxuan's army was blocked by Huluguan for almost two days and was unable to break through, which caused the military plane to be delayed. Liang Yan and others were not in the mood to enjoy tea and enjoy the scenery. They only hoped to see the leader of the insect control tribe earlier and let them come out to help.
.
"Great, in that case, let's ask Miss Xiaoqian to lead the way." Gui Wuqi chuckled.
"Wait a minute."
Su Xiaoqian suddenly waved her hand and said softly: "The empress only agreed to meet Liang Shuai, and the others are not within the scope of her summons. Therefore, I would like to invite the three of you to sit down in Guiyun Residence, and Liang Shuai will follow me up the mountain."
As soon as these words came out, Hong Yun and the two men immediately changed their expressions.
"What did you say?" Gui Wuqi changed his previous smile and became serious instantly, "No! He is our commander-in-chief of the armed forces. How could he be taken away by you alone?"
"good!"
Hong Yun's eyes widened and he said coldly: "Before you controlled the Zerg, you attacked us indiscriminately, and now you want our coach to attend the meeting alone. Who knows what An is thinking about? Since you want to meet, let's go together!"
Even Mo coughed and said slowly: "Miss Xiaoqian, can you ask your Holy Master to move here? The three of us don't need to participate in the meeting, but we must stand outside to prevent any unexpected events."
"Unexpected?" Su Xiaoqian said with a half-smile but not a smile: "What's the unexpected? With the strength of the Queen, if I were to attack you, you would have been buried in the deserted valley long ago. How can you come to the Holy Mountain? The Queen said she saw someone, that is
Most of the time it’s not okay to meet someone. If you don’t agree, you can go down the mountain now.”
"you!"
Hongyun's temper was the most explosive. At this moment, he glared as if he wanted to scold him.
But he was stopped by Liang Yan.
"It's okay! Guests do as they please. Since you're on someone else's territory, of course you have to act according to their rules."
Liang Yan laughed, turned around and said with a smile: "I heard from you along the way that the Holy Master is unparalleled in appearance and elegance. Liang is also a little curious in his heart. Since it is a beautiful lady who invites you, I would rather obey her than be respectful."
As soon as these words came out, Hongyun was a little anxious. The two of them secretly communicated, but Liang Yan made a gesture, which meant that they should not act rashly.
"You two don't have to worry about me. I'm going to explore the truth first. If I haven't returned after two hours, you will send a signal and let Nan Youyue lead the army to attack."
After listening to Liang Yan's message, the two of them gradually suppressed the anger in their hearts, nodded slightly, and said no more.
After appeasing several people, Liang Yan smiled again, cupped his hands to Su Xiaoqian and said, "Miss Xiaoqian, please lead the way."
"Shuai Liang, please."
Su Xiaoqian bowed gracefully.
The two of them left Guiyun Villa and walked up the mountain road for about a quarter of an hour when they saw a palace appearing in front of them near the top of the mountain.
The entire palace is made of white jade, with a warm texture and soft luster. A huge piece of white jade is inlaid on the top of the palace, like a precious mirror, reflecting the five-color clouds near the top of the mountain, making it look magnificent.
At the entrance of the palace, there is a pair of towering white jade stone pillars, which are carved with more than ten kinds of weird insect patterns. Around the stone pillars, various kinds of fairy grass and exotic flowers are planted, and the fragrant aroma floats in the wind, making people feel unreasonable.
A feeling of pleasure.
"This is our holy palace to control the Zerg. Please come in, Commander Liang."
Su Xiaoqian made a "please" gesture outside the palace wall.
Liang Yan did not hesitate and walked into the palace first.
The scenery inside is even more wonderful, with hundreds of pavilions and pavilions, nine winding corridors, and clear lake water on both sides. Colorful flowers are dotted on the lake surface, making it look fresh and refined.
Along the corridor, there is a graceful female cultivator every hundred feet, with a smile like a flower, wearing light clothes, holding fairy wine, toling fruit, or playing music, all of them are welcoming him.
Visitors.
Liang Yan was a little more curious about this "Holy Master Empress" who controlled the insect race.
Not long after, the two entered the inner courtyard of the palace. There were no guards here, only a deep corridor that led to the depths of the palace.
"Mother, Liang Shuai has arrived."
Su Xiaoqian didn't dare to go in. She just stood outside the palace and lowered her head.
After a while, a lazy voice came from deep in the palace: "Okay, Xiaoqian, please step aside first and let Liang Shuai come in."
"yes."
Su Xiaoqian responded respectfully, bowed to Liang Yan again, and then slowly exited the inner courtyard, closing the bronze door before leaving.
Liang Yan watched her leave without saying anything. He turned around and saw a hazy view at the end of the corridor. It seemed that something was blocking his consciousness, making it difficult to see clearly.
Although he was a little confused, he still had a pleasant expression on his face, clasped his hands in his fists, and said with a smile:
"Liang Yan, the coach of Nanxuan, has met fellow Taoist disciples!"
There was silence for a moment in the depths of the palace, and the soft voice from before sounded again: "Why does Commander Liang stand so far away to talk? If you are not tired and I am, why don't we go into the palace and talk?"
"good."
Liang Yan did not refuse and walked into the palace.
Walking all the way inward along the deep corridor, you can gradually smell a strange aroma, which is refreshing and intoxicating.
Liang Yan was a little wary at first, and he checked it secretly, but found that the aroma was not abnormal, so he felt relieved and continued to move forward. After a while, he reached the end of the corridor.
This is actually a natural mountain spring.
The mountain spring emerged from the ground and formed a small pond. White smoke floated above the pond. It was this smoke that blocked the spiritual consciousness, making the surrounding area hazy and unclear.
There were colorful petals floating on the surface of the pond. There was a screen in the middle. Through the screen, a graceful woman could be vaguely seen taking a bath. However, this screen was obviously transformed into a powerful magic weapon. Even with Liang Yan's magical power,
Consciousness cannot see through it either.
Seeing this scene, Liang Yan couldn't help but frown slightly.
"I don't know if my Taoist friend is taking a bath, but Liang is being rude. Why don't I wait outside the hall first? After my Taoist friend takes a bath and changes clothes, we can discuss important matters."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"etc!"
A woman's voice came from behind the screen and said with a smile: "Why go outside to discuss? This is the spring water where all spirits meet. Liang Shuai can soak in the pool and enjoy the medicinal bath while discussing important matters. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"
"There's no need for medicinal baths or anything like that." Liang Yan said calmly: "The fighting on the front line is tense, and Liang doesn't have time to waste time here. Please take a shower and change clothes quickly, and we'll go outside to discuss it in detail."
As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle came from behind the screen.
The woman's voice was extremely soft: "I heard that Commander Liang was very good at running the army and had unparalleled magical powers. He entered the Black Mountain Territory only half a month ago and he successively defeated the three cities of Tayun, Lingshe and Yunya. How could such a heroic man still be so powerful?"
Are you afraid of a mere weak woman?"
"Fellow Taoist is not a weak woman." Liang Yan's face was calm, without any disturbance.
The woman behind the screen was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Okay, since Liang Shuai doesn't want to share the medicine pool with me, I won't force myself to do it. Let me ask, what is the purpose of you coming to me?"
After hearing this, Liang Yan immediately said: "Our Nanxuan army encountered some setbacks when attacking Huluguan. Zhou Tong had experts behind him to help, and used magic weapons and formations to hold back our army, so I want to ask you for help in controlling the Zerg tribe.
Use the 'Invisible Insect' to destroy their key magic weapon, and then our army can march straight in and break through Hulu Pass."
"It turns out that your Nanxuan attack on Beiming was blocked, but what does this have to do with our control of the Zerg? Why do you want to help Nanxuan?"
"Beiming is our common enemy. If you help me, you are helping you." Liang Yan said with a serious face.
"Haha, this is just your wishful thinking."
The woman behind the screen said calmly: "For the eight tribes, there is no difference between Nanxuan and Beiming. They are both foreign intruders. Although Beiming had a war with us before, Dan Yangsheng has now led the main force.
After leaving, do you think that the eight tribes can't deal with the Beiming monks he left to guard? No! In fact, it is an internal fight among the eight tribes, and no one is willing to contribute! What if I control the Zerg tribe to go out and help you attack Beiming?
Not to mention the loss of manpower, the old nest will definitely be empty. What will happen if someone else takes advantage of it?"
When Liang Yan heard this, he gradually understood that it seemed that the eight major divine tribes had long been inseparable from each other, and would only reluctantly cooperate when faced with life and death. After Dan Yangsheng left, the eight major divine tribes no longer had a survival crisis, and soon began to scheming again.
No wonder during this journey, except for the Blood River Clan, no one has seen the shadow of the eight major divine clans. It seems that they all have the intention of sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight. They want Nanxuan and Beiming to fight to the death, and then let them do it.
Harvest the fisherman's profit.
After figuring out the whole story, Liang Yan felt a strange feeling in his heart.
The woman in front of him sounded like she was rejecting him, but at the same time she seemed to be instructing him to understand the overall situation and the stakes of the Black Mountain Territory.
"If she really refused to cooperate with me, she wouldn't have explained so much. How could she mention the turmoil among the eight divine clans to me, an outsider?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, his mind was spinning, and after a moment he laughed and said: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I will let you help break the formation. You only need to use the ability of the 'Invisible Worm', and leave everything else to me."
Nanxuan, I won’t let you control the Zerg tribe and lose many manpower. As for the problem of the emptiness in the rear that you just mentioned, I can dedicate part of Nanxuan’s troops to help you guard Qingcang Mountain and ensure that the other seven tribes will not take advantage of it."
After saying this, there was a brief silence behind the screen, as if he was thinking about it.
After a moment, the woman chuckled and said: "Shuai Liang said it very lightly. How can I believe you? Letting Nan Xuan's army come in may not be inviting a wolf into the house!"
"I can make a vow to the inner demon!" Liang Yan said without hesitation.
The woman still didn't believe it, and said calmly: "There are ways to break the inner demon oath, it just depends on whether the price paid and the reward are equal."
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
This woman is simply incompetent and seems completely unwilling to cooperate, but she is willing to talk to him so much, so she can't just sit around and waste her time, right?
After thinking secretly for a moment, Liang Yan simply pretended to be indifferent and said coldly: "This won't work, that won't work either. How about you tell me? How do I want to cooperate? You put forward the conditions, and I think we can cooperate.
, If it doesn’t work, then I won’t bother you anymore, and I’ll go back to the military camp and think of a solution.”
When the woman behind the screen heard this, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"Okay, okay! I won't tease you anymore. Just agree to one condition and ask my clansmen to come out and help you immediately!"
Liang Yan didn't expect that she would change so suddenly and agree so readily. He couldn't help but froze in place for a moment.
But he reacted immediately. He was overjoyed, but his face was very calm, and he asked: "Do you really mean what you said, fellow Taoist?"
"nature."
"What are the conditions?"
"Simple." The voice of the woman behind the screen was lazy and charming: "As long as Liang Shuai is willing to take off his clothes and take a bath with me behind the screen, I will immediately order the tribesmen to come out to help you."
"you!"
Liang Yan's face froze.
He didn't expect that the other party would actually make such a rude request, and his face turned pale.
"Friend Taoist, are you joking?" Liang Yan said coldly.
"Why, as the Holy Lord who controls the Zerg clan, I control a whole clan. Am I not worthy of you Liang Shuai?" the woman behind the screen said softly.
"snort!"
Liang Yan snorted coldly, said nothing more, and left angrily.
He acted decisively and resolutely, because he believed that the Holy Master who controlled the Zerg tribe would never put forward such childish conditions, which would not be of any benefit to himself or the tribe.
The other party must have some plot, but he didn't know it yet, so he retreated in order to advance and wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in this woman's gourd.
Just when Liang Yan was about to reach the entrance of the palace, ripples suddenly appeared in the void around him, and then streaks of white light appeared, as fine as silk, sweeping in from all directions!
Liang Yan didn't expect this woman to take action directly. He was slightly shocked, but his reaction was not slow at all.
"The fox's tail is finally revealed!"
With a sneer, Liang Yan pinched the sword secret in his hand, and immediately two sword lights flew out, divided into two colors: purple and blue, galloping in the air, and in the blink of an eye, they cut off all these fine and silky white lights.
Boom!
Before he could turn around, there was another loud noise above his head, and then the void opened, and a snow-white, huge monster insect flew out of it.
