The night is getting deeper, and now it is the darkest time before dawn, and the weather is even colder. Mingzhu hugged her knees tightly, looked up at the dark sky, and asked:
"Brother Fox Hunter, didn't you say that you can see many bright stars in the desert night sky? But why is the sky so dark now, without any light at all?"
Hunting Fox also looked up at the sky:
"If the weather is clear, you will see a bright moon or dense stars. Today is cloudy and the clouds are too thick, so you can't see anything."
Mingzhu keenly caught the hint of worry in Xie Hu's voice, so she immediately asked:
"What, Brother Fox Hunter, does this weather have anything to do with our actions tomorrow?"
The hunting fox has a heavy voice:
"I can't say, but in this season, such gloomy weather should not appear in the desert. But I don't think Qian Kongtian has such great magical powers and can actually affect the changes in the weather. But, who can
Are you right? The dragon vein thing itself is so magical, and it is related to the prosperity and fortune of the world. We are going to enter the dragon vein tomorrow, so if God really has some sense, it is normal."
Mingzhu nodded:
"Okay, let everything take its course. Brother Fox Hunter, it's getting late, let's all take a rest."
"Mingzhu, aren't you going to say goodbye to the prince and Yan again? After dawn, you may not even have time to talk."
Mingzhu shook her head:
"No, I don't want to see them today. If I have anything to say, I'll wait until everything is over."
Yes, she didn’t want to say anything to them. It wasn’t because she had nothing to say. In fact, she now had thousands of words and infinite advice in her heart. She also needed them to comfort the panic in her heart at this time. But, also
There was really no need to say anything more, because they already knew exactly what the other wanted to say.
Therefore, let’s not say anything and leave everything to the battlefield.
Mingzhu returned to her tent, and Xie Hu naturally disappeared near her tent. When the lights in her tent were completely extinguished, Li Chengqi quietly walked to the bonfire that Mingzhu was guarding just now. The bonfire had gradually extinguished.
It was gone, leaving only dark red ashes. Li Chengqi looked at the ashes dreamily, as if feeling the temperature of the pearl remaining here in the cold night.
After a while, Li Chengqi suddenly said:
"Master Yan, you are here too."
As he finished speaking, Yan stepped out of the darkness:
"Did you hear my voice?" Homura asked.
Li Chengqi turned his back to Yan:
"I knew a long time ago that you were looking at Mingzhu from a distance, but you, like me, didn't bother her."
Yan nodded:
"Chinese martial arts is indeed amazing, and you are a real master."
"Excellent."
"But I have a question. It is said that masters of Chinese martial arts will never expose their backs to others, because in this way, if they are attacked from behind, they will not be able to resist, but you have been
Turn your back towards me. In Chinese martial arts, is this called the Opening of the Sky?"
Li Chengqi still didn't turn around, he chuckled softly:
"Opening the emptiness gate? It seems that Mr. Yan is indeed very knowledgeable about Chinese martial arts. Yes, the taboo in Chinese martial arts is to expose the emptiness gate to the enemy, but I don't count it now because you are not my enemy. I have never
I have never regarded you as an enemy, and I believe you are the same."
"Why are you so confident?" Flame asked.
"It's not confidence, it's confidence in Mingzhu, or in other words, confidence in our feelings for Mingzhu." Li Chengqi turned around as he spoke and looked at Yan seriously, his black eyes exceptionally bright.
Yan originally wanted to say something, but after seeing Li Chengqi's eyes, he forgot what he was going to say and blurted out:
"Your eyes are very similar to Mingzhu's eyes."
Li Chengqi was stunned for a moment and then laughed:
"Really? That may be because our eyes are all black."
"And your eyes are very bright." Yan said seriously. "Before I met Mingzhu, I always thought that black eyes are the dimmest. They don't have as many colors as Western eyes. But after seeing Mingzhu,
Only after I opened my eyes did I understand that black eyes can be so bright and contain so much color and wisdom. The same is true for pearls, and the same is true for you."
Li Chengqi smiled and said nothing, but his eyes couldn't help but become gentle, because he also thought of Mingzhu's eyes.
Yan looked at Li Chengqi:
"You don't look like an Oriental. I heard that Oriental people, especially men in ancient times, don't talk about feelings easily, but you just mentioned our feelings for the Pearl so frankly."
"I don't know why. Is it because I was born unlike other men in the Tang Dynasty that I was attracted to Mingzhu, or did I gradually change after being attracted to Mingzhu?" Li Chengqi seemed to be asking himself.
, also seems to be summarizing, "Maybe, it's both."
"You didn't say goodbye to Mingzhu tonight?" Yan said.
"Aren't you the same? And I think we should be thinking the same thing."
"Yes, because we don't have to say anything anymore, everything is in our hearts, and Mingzhu knows everything."
"Yes, so Mingzhu didn't say goodbye to us. We are of the same mind," Li Chengqi said.
"Actually, I've always wanted to chat with you today."
Li Chengqi laughed again:
"It seems that we are thinking of getting together again. You say it first, or should I say it first?"
"Let me tell you. Anyway, I think we are going to say the same thing." The bonfire has been completely extinguished, and Yan's face has completely fallen into darkness, but his handsome facial features can still be seen faintly.
, "First of all, we will definitely protect the Pearl at all costs."
"right."
"Secondly, what I want to say is, no matter what, you must live. You are the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the son of the emperor. You have supreme authority in the Tang Dynasty, so here, you can better
Protect the Pearl, and I am just a lonely soul from the future. Here, all my powers and even life skills cannot play a role, so I think that if we really love the Pearl, we should do our best to protect the Pearl.
It can."
Li Chengqi smiled leisurely:
"What we want to say is indeed the same. If we really love the Pearl, we should do our best to do our best. This sentence is exactly what I want to say. But I think it is more important to live.
It's you, because Mingzhu does not belong to the Tang Dynasty. Although fate sends her to the Tang Dynasty time and time again, I think she will eventually return to the era that belongs to you. I have always wanted to go to your hometown, but I
If you can't go, just like you don't belong to the Tang Dynasty, I don't belong there. And in that world, you are the real king, so what Mingzhu needs is you."
Yan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Li Chengqi:
"Okay, let's not fight anymore. What I say makes more sense. Besides, we can't get a result from the fight, so let's try our best to protect the pearl in this battle, and let God decide the rest.
, the only thing is, no matter which one of us survives, we must take good care of Mingzhu for ourselves and the other person, okay?"
"Okay!" Yan held out his hand without hesitation.
Two real men, in the desert, under the dark night, high-fived and made a date for a woman!
At dawn the next day, the group of people got ready and set off. To their surprise, Qian Kongtian's men did not show up.
"Lizi, what do you think?" Li Chengqi asked.
"Back to the prince, I think Qian Kongtian must have guessed our purpose, so he wants to track us to the dragon vein. After finding the dragon vein, he will kill us all. In this way, the dragon vein will belong to him."
"It makes sense," Liehu nodded, "The devils and the others have worked hard to dig out the secret of the dragon veins from the Fang family. Now that they have such an opportunity, of course they will not miss it."
"Okay, in this case, let's just fight with them and catch them all outside the Dragon Vein!" Li Chengqi only seemed to be full of pride and kingly style at this time. Yes, he was doing it for his beloved now.
Fighting for women, fighting for his country. For thousands of years, everything a man has dreamed of is now in his hands.
"Set off."
Following Li Chengqi's order, the group of them rushed towards the small village where the missionaries had been.
The small village is still so quiet and dilapidated. In the eyes of outsiders, it is no different from countless villages scattered in the desert, struggling to survive. No one would have thought that there are shocking secrets buried here.
What they didn't expect was that as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw an old man standing on the edge of the village looking in the direction they came from. When they got closer, before they could speak, the old man spoke directly. He said
It was a very strange sentence that no one understood. The old man said it again. This time, Hunter and the other patron saints understood it. As if they had suddenly seen the true god, they all rushed to the old man's side.
He also spoke a strange language.
After a moment, both the patron saint and the old man knelt down on the ground, but they did not kowtow to each other, but saluted in the same direction.
Although the others could not understand their words or their actions, they could guess that they must be communicating using some kind of communication code unique to the Fang family, so they waited patiently for them to finish their obeisances.
Explain again.
Sure enough, after Liehu kowtowed, he walked directly to Li Chengqi and Mingzhu:
"Your Majesty, Mingzhu, this old man took the missionary to the cave. He wants to tell us something very important. Let's go to his house first."
