Princess Xuanbo quietly stared at Tang Lie. She saw that Tang Lie had lost some weight in the past few days, obviously due to the hard work of rescuing them. However, the outline of his face looked more determined, exuding a strong masculinity.
Tang Lie was looking at Xuan Bo at this moment, and when he saw her dazed gaze, Xuan Bo's pretty face turned red, he lowered his head shyly, and scolded softly: "Look at what I'm doing," this sentence was quite a bit like catching a thief. The meaning was that she was clearly spying on Tang Lie, but she placed the blame on Tang Lie's head.
Tang Lie smiled slightly and said softly: "You have lost weight. I think you have suffered a lot in the past two days."
Xuan Bo felt a warmth in her heart, and the image of Tang Lie in her heart became perfect without realizing it. The initial dislike for Tang Lie had been forgotten.
Under Tang Lie's eyes, Xuan Bo panicked for a moment, took Xuan'er's delicate hand and said, "Let's go back and tidy up, and talk to you later," and walked towards the room as if he was running away.
Tang Lie looked at their beautiful figures and showed a knowing smile. There is a saying in the song, how can you see a rainbow without going through wind and rain? Haha, everything that happened to him really confirmed this truth.
The dinner was held in the mansion. Although Taitul extended an invitation to everyone, only Tang Lie and Ya Yi'an were actually present. Taitul said with some embarrassment: "Brother, it seems that these friends of yours are still blaming me. ,"
Tang Lie smiled and said, "You don't have to think too much. They were just a little tired, so they took a rest earlier. They didn't deliberately avoid you."
Taitul nodded, knowing that Tang Lie was excusing others, and had no intention of pursuing it further. He stretched out his palm and struck twice. Six beauties from the bandit tribe filed in, and filled the stone table in front of them with delicacies.
Ya Yi'an was very discerning and rushed to fill the wine bowls for Taitul and Tang Lie.
Taitul picked up the wine bowl and said, "I have offended my brother this time, and I hope you will forgive me." He raised his head and drank the purple liquid in the wine bowl in one gulp.
Tang Lie smiled and said: "We don't know each other without fighting. If I hadn't followed you here, I wouldn't have known my adoptive father." He and Ya Yi'an also drank the wine in the bowl. The wine tasted sour and sweet in the mouth, and some of the wine Tang Lie still did not let down his guard against Taitul. After all, he, Ling Ying and others killed many bandit tribesmen in order to rescue Xuan'er and the others. As the leader of the bandit tribe, Taitul was afraid that he would not be the leader of the bandit tribe. This incident never happened.
Taitul said: "My father just talked to me. This time I slaughtered the Yi tribe's camp with blood. It was me who provoked me first. If I hadn't kidnapped your friends, I wouldn't have lost so many brothers." He stared at Tang Lie said: "Tang Lie, you saved my father and you are my benefactor, Taitul. What I said today will always be true to my word."
Tang Lie's heart stirred. This Taitul was indeed a true man who kept his promise. He raised his wine bowl and said: "From now on, Tang Lie will regard Taitul as my biological elder brother. Never mention it between brothers again." What a act of kindness, it is my duty, Tang Lie, to save my adoptive father,"
"Good brothers," Taitul and Tang Lie clinked their wine bowls and drank from each other. The words they just said immediately brought them closer.
Tang Lie said: "Brother, there is something I don't know whether I should ask or not."
Taitul wiped the wine stains from his beard and said, "Brother, if you have any questions, just tell me."
"The bandits live underground, but the territory of the Yi tribe is in the sky. Why is there such deep-rooted hatred between the two tribes?"
Taitul slowly put down the wine bowl and said for a long time: "The earliest conflict between the Bandit Clan and the Wing Clan was due to different beliefs. It is said that the true god we believe in, Duozhang, was betrayed by their true god Carol, so they are mutually exclusive. There would be some friction between them. Later, because of the Xuanwu Empire’s massacre of surrounding tribes and races, the Bandit Clan and the Wing Clan came together for the common enemy.”
Taitul's eyes were full of anger: "But just when we put aside our past grudges and sincerely joined forces with the Yi tribe to fight against the enemy, the Yi tribe actually betrayed us, colluded with the Xuanwu Kingdom's army, and set up a trap to deal with us bandit tribesmen, almost Exterminate our bandits,"
Tang Lie had heard about this past story from Ling Ying before, but what Taitul said now was a completely different version. Even he couldn't tell which was right and which was wrong. In fact, in his past world, this kind of nation Hatred is also common and cannot be easily resolved. He smiled and said: "Let's not mention the unhappy things. Come on, have a drink."
The two of them drank at each other's throats and enjoyed each other's spirits, but left Ya Yi'an aside in the cold.
Ya Yi'an tried to join them in drinking several times, but no one paid attention to him, so he drank alone in despair.
After half-drinking, Taitul was already a little tipsy. He narrowed his drunken eyes and said, "Brother, I have something to ask you."
Tang Lie smiled and said: "Since you treat me as a brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. As long as I, Tang Lie, can do it, I will never refuse."
Taitul, who had always been open-minded, actually seemed a little shy at this moment. He took a deep breath and said, "What is the relationship between that Xuanbo girl and my brother?"
Tang Lie didn't think about it carefully and blurted out: "Just ordinary friends..." As soon as he said the words, he realized that something was wrong.
Taitul looked extremely happy and said loudly: "This is very good. Since we are brothers' ordinary friends, I can pursue him with confidence."
Tang Lie felt regretful in his heart. His unintentional words made Taitul have such unworthy thoughts. Now it was too late to take back those words.
Ya Yi'an was so cunning. From the subtle changes in Tang Lie's eyes, he immediately saw that Tang Lie had done something stupid. It seemed that Taitul was not a simple-minded person with well-developed limbs. This clever move killed Tang Lie. Hunt someone by surprise.
At this time, a bandit warrior came to Taitul in a panic and whispered something in his ear. Taitul's face suddenly changed, he stood up and said to Tang Lie: "Brother, I'm sorry, I have something to ask for." When things happen, you must take the first step,"
Tang Lie hurriedly got up to see him off.
After Yayi'an waited until Taitul left, he couldn't help it anymore and started laughing.
Tang Lie stared at him angrily and said, "Why are you laughing?"
Ya Yi'an said with a playful smile: "I didn't expect that my benefactor would be so broad-minded that he could give his beloved woman to his brother,"
Tang Lie wished he could smash the bridge of this kid's nose with one punch, and sneered: "You don't want the antidote,"
Ya Yi'an laughed and said: "How could you use such despicable means to deal with your friends with your benefactor's temperament?" He had already guessed that what Tang Lie forced him to swallow was not poison.
"When have I ever had a friend like you?"
"Even if my benefactor doesn't regard me, Ya Yian, as a friend, I have already regarded you as a friend in my heart." Ya Yian is indeed thick-skinned.
Tang Lie shook his head helplessly, but heard Ya Yi'an whisper: "You can give in to anything in the world, except women. My benefactor must not give Taitul a chance."
Tang Lie's eyes widened and he said angrily: "Am I that kind of person?"
Ya Yi'an laughed loudly: "My benefactor is,"
"What is it,"
"A person who values sex over friends,"
"I'll beat you up," Tang Lie smiled and rushed forward.
Ya Yi'an was so frightened that he ran away with his head in his arms.
There is no distinction between night and day in the underground world. Xuan'er sat quietly in the pavilion in the backyard and looked up at the black dome. There were several glazed lamps flickering above. There was no starlight, no moon, and not even a trace of night wind. Xuan'er endured it. He couldn't help sighing and resting his head on his knees.
There were slow footsteps behind her, Xuan'er turned around, but Ling Ying slowly came to her side.
Xuan'er showed a reserved smile and stood up to leave. Ling Ying whispered: "Miss Xuan'er, do you still remember what happened to the Xiangkong family?"
Xuan'er's delicate body trembled slightly, bit her lower lip, and slowly shook her head.
Ling Ying sighed and said: "Although I don't know your origin, I believe that you must be a descendant of the Xiangkong family."
Xuan'er said sadly: "I have been away from the Yi clan for too long, and I can't remember the past at all."
Ling Ying looked up, showing a bit of sadness: "I will leave here tomorrow,"
"Why so fast?" Xuan'er asked in surprise.
"Although this storm has come to an end for the time being, this place does not belong to me. Our world should be in the sky,"
Xuan'er nodded silently.
Ling Ying asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do in the future?"
Xuan'er replied without thinking at all: "Follow the master,"
"Don't you ever think about yourself,"
Xuan'er's beautiful eyes revealed a trace of deep affection: "Xuan'er's life was saved by her master. Being able to follow her master is Xuan'er's greatest happiness."
Ling Ying's eyes flashed with deep pity: "I hope he can understand your feelings." He took out a jade flute as long as a thumb from his waist and handed it to Xuan'er: "This jade flute is for me. Here you go, if there is any trouble in the future, you can blow the jade flute and no matter where I am, I will rush to the place where the trouble occurred."
Xuan'er panicked and declined: "Brother Ling and I are strangers, how could I accept such a precious gift from you?"
Ling Ying said: "We are both members of the Yi clan, and we have an inseparable relationship with the Xiangkong clan. You have the right to treat me as your eldest brother and accept me,"
Xuan'er hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to refuse Ling Ying's kindness, so she carefully put the jade flute away.
At this time, Tang Lie came from a distance. Ling Ying whispered, "Don't let anyone know about the jade flute I gave you," before turning around and leaving.
Tang Lie came to Xuan'er and saw Ling Ying's back. He couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Weird things happen every year, especially tonight. Taitul has fallen in love with Princess Xuanbo. Ling Ying took advantage of his absence to do it again." When approaching Xuan'er, you shouldn't be targeting this beautiful maid of yours. You must not have any intention of harming others, and you must have a sense of defense. It seems that you should pay more attention to these two guys in the future."
Since their reunion today, Tang Lie has not had a good talk with Xuan'er. He smiled and said: "Xuan'er, why don't you go back and rest?"
Xuan'er said softly: "I'm worried that the master drinks too much. I just made a sobering soup for the master and wait for the master to come back to drink."
Tang Lie felt a sweet feeling in his heart, Xuan'er was always caring about him.
Xuan'er got up and went to the kitchen to bring out the hangover soup. Tang Lie was about to drink it when he saw Ya Yi'an rushing over panting, breathless and said: "It's bad, something bad is bad, something bad is bad." ,"
Tang Lie knew that he always liked to exaggerate, so he frowned and said, "If anything happens, please take a breath first."
Ya Yi'an took two deep breaths, saw the hangover soup on the table, reached out to grab it, drank it without ceremony, wiped the corners of his lips and said: "People are panicking everywhere in Parthia. The bandits began to migrate to the west in large numbers,"
Xuan'er was annoyed that he drank the sobering soup she gave Tang Lie, and said angrily: "What's so strange? The birthday of the true god Duozhang has passed, and the bandits who came from all over to offer sacrifices will naturally leave."
Ya Yi'an shook his head and said: "It's different this time. Not only did the thieves from other places leave the city of Parthia, but even the local residents of Parthia began to move. I guess something bad must have happened."
While they were talking, Taitul came over with more than a dozen warriors. The expression on his face was extremely serious. He walked directly to Tang Lie and whispered: "Brothers, pack up and leave Pa with your father immediately." Theiasimon left,"
It seemed that Ya Yi'an's words just now were not alarmist. Tang Lie said: "Brother, can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Tetul sighed and said: "To be honest, the Xuanwu Empire's army of about 20,000 people invaded from the south of Parthia. Most of the eighteen bunkers we used to separate ourselves from the surface world have been destroyed by the dragon. I'm afraid the city of Parthia will not be saved," he was filled with grief and anger.
Tang Lie said in astonishment: "The war between the Xuanwu Empire and the Lande Empire is in a stalemate. How could they suddenly attack you bandits?"
Taitul gritted his teeth and said, "It must be something good done by the Wing Tribe people."
Xuan'er couldn't help but said: "Until the matter is clarified, how can you falsely accuse the Yi tribe of people?"
Taitul sneered and said: "How can I say nonsense without proof? Our soldiers saw with their own eyes the Yi tribe and the soldiers of the Xuanwu Empire fighting side by side,"
Tang Lie whispered: "Who is the commander of the Xuanwu Kingdom's army?"
"Sima Tianfeng,"
Tang Lie's heart sank. He suddenly understood that the real target of the Xuanwu Empire's army was most likely Princess Xuanbo. They were the ones who brought this disaster to the bandits. If what Taitur said was true, the most likely possibility was that The Yi clan members revealed the news that Xuan Bo had been kidnapped by the clan members to the Xuanwu Kingdom army, thus introducing them into the underground world.
Taitul held Tang Lie's arm and said: "Brother, my father is stubborn by nature. I'm worried that he won't want to leave the city of Parthia. He has always listened to your advice. It's up to you to persuade him to leave."
Tang Lie nodded silently, told Xuan'er to pack her things, and went to the room where Tie Mo'ao rested with Taitul.
As soon as the two of them entered the room, they heard Tie Mo'ao's hoarse voice: "Is the Xuanwu Kingdom's army attacking?"
