Just as Tang Yan was amusing himself and dreaming about the glorious scenery, bursts of small talk suddenly came from the yard.
"Mr. Tang is resting inside, but he is seriously injured. He is in a semi-conscious state, and his mood is still a bit... um... not calm. Do you really want to go in for a visit?" It was the voice of a guard.
"You all stand down." It was a soft and clear female voice.
"Ah? But..."
"Back off!"
"We are ordered to guard here. If an accident occurs, we cannot afford it."
"If I really want to kill him, why would I visit him so openly?"
"No, no, no, then... um... you... please hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult for us to do business." The guards all exited the courtyard one after another.
After a while, the door creaked open, and a tall woman wearing a cloak and a veil walked in. Her slightly golden eyes looked at Tang Yan quietly for a while, then she closed the door and said, "No need to pretend.
, wake up."
Tang Yan was already lying peacefully on the bed. His clothes were in tatters, he looked miserable, his hair was unkempt, and his whole body was covered in blood. He looked like a beggar, the kind who had been beaten by a group. His breath was weak, his skin was pale, and he was already dying.
Severe coma.
Facing the guests' doubts, he was in a 'coma' and didn't realize it.
The mysterious woman sat on the table and chair and looked at Tang Yan quietly, as if she was observing something.
Tang Yan continued to remain unconscious and responded silently.
After a while, the girl took out some bottles and jars and put them on the table: "The dignified young master of Jiulongling is in the semi-saint realm. Even if he is beaten and has a third of his blood taken, he will not be injured.
You're so weak. It's been three days and you can't even get up? You don't think of a half-saint as a half-saint. Wake up. I've learned some disguise skills and can help you pretend to be more like one.
"
Tang Yan continues to be in a coma. When it comes to acting skills, he is still somewhat confident after all these years of traveling in Qitian Continent.
After sorting out the bottles and jars, the girl took out something like a drawing board and began to mix the potions one by one. She ignored Tang Yan's acting skills and said to herself: "Go take a bath and I will help you make a comprehensive disguise.
This ensures that others don’t see anything unusual.”
Huh? Tang Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, cracked a gap, and looked at her quietly, but did not respond, but his heart skipped a beat, how could it be a girl? She looked very weak.
The girl continued to prepare, very carefully and skillfully: "You are good at acting, but you pretend too much. Now that you have provoked hatred in all the forbidden places, I don't have time to come and see you, but after two days, I entered the Valley of the Wicked, and everyone
Everyone will observe each other. If you still look like you are half-dead and unable to stand up, everyone will become suspicious.
I'll help you put on makeup to make you look like you've lost too much blood and are depressed. Then you put on clean clothes and pretend to be fine, that's the normal behavior."
Tang Yan hadn't gotten up yet, so the unconscious girl glanced at him, paused briefly, and replied: "I'm from Emperor Wu City, my surname is Ke and my given name is Yutong."
I'm just waiting for your words. Tang Yan finally opened his eyes, frowned slightly, slowly sat up, and looked at her strangely.
"It was supposed to be my brother who came here, but he... died..."
"ah?"
"Take a shower and change into a nightgown. I'll get ready quickly. You should be quick too." Ke Yutong didn't pay attention to Tang Yan's eyes.
"I..." Tang Yan suddenly didn't know what to say. He coughed a few times, straightened out his tattered clothes, and introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Tang Yan."
"I know, please change clothes."
"Uh...wait a minute..." Tang Yan turned to the side room next to him, cleaned his body with cold water, and walked out wearing a bathrobe.
"Sit on the bed." Ke Yutong pointed to the edge of the bed.
Tang Yan sat down obediently and looked at her quietly. Just as he was about to try to see her appearance with his dark eyes, Ke Yutong said: "Is appearance really that important? Or, if I look ugly, Mr. Tang will treat me less
evaluation of?"
Tang Yan smiled: "Misunderstanding, just curiosity."
"Don't move, I'll put on makeup for you." Ke Yutong sat beside the bed, holding a wooden tray with many medicinal liquids in different colors, but none of them tasted. After a while, she began to hold the
The brush was dipped in the liquid to apply makeup on Tang Yan, and he said seriously and carefully: "If you have anything to ask, just ask."
"Amber said that General Ke has gone to War Realm. I thought there was no one in Emperor Wu City anymore."
"My foster father left eight years ago, taking away two saints, three think tanks, five half-saints from Emperor Wu City, and three thousand gold-armored guards from Emperor Wu City. He left behind two saints, me, and three million guards.
City sergeant.
Amber's words changed the fate of Emperor Wu City and awakened the destiny of his adoptive father. He left to fight for his destiny, but the tens of millions of elders in Emperor Emperor City could not give up. I took over the position of city lord eight years ago.
, waiting for my adoptive father to protect Emperor Wu’s city and protect thousands of elders.”
Ke Yutong put on makeup gently and carefully, and her voice was equally soft and soft.
"If I had known there were still people among you, I would have gone to visit you. I'm ashamed."
Ke Yutong shook his head gently: "The purpose of accepting the invitation is just to ask you something."
"You said, if you can do it, you must work hard."
Ke Yutong stopped what he was doing, raised his eyes and looked into Tang Yan's eyes: "Please let Wu Emperor City go."
"What??"
"My foster father has guarded Emperor Wu's City for ten thousand years. It is the last home of the empire and the last resting place for the people of the empire. They have lived peacefully for ten thousand years and no longer dream of restoring the country, but they are even more tired of war. Yi
Father shoulders the mission of the Demon Spirit Clan. He had to leave and fight for the Demon Spirit Clan. We understand all of this, but Emperor Wu City does not want to be involved in disputes and wars because of this. We just want to survive quietly.
Forgive me for being bold, my adoptive father entered the Forgotten War Realm ahead of time. He did not want to join forces with Jiulong Ridge in the Central Plains. His main purpose was indeed to prepare for the trip in advance so that he could find out the news and prepare a place for you in the future. He also had another purpose.
, I just don’t want the world to know... Emperor Wu City is related to Jiulong Ridge!"
Tang Yan frowned slightly and looked at her for a while: "I don't understand what Miss Ke means."
"Now there are wars and disputes in the Central Plains, and the war between empires is inevitable. Cholera is everywhere in the Holy Spirit Palace. Jiulong Ridge has united with the Xingluo Empire. You have long been grudged against the Holy Spirit Palace. Both you and Jiulong Ridge are in the whirlpool of the storm, and are facing challenges everywhere.
Crisis. If Emperor Wu City forms an alliance with you, it will surely become a threat to the Holy Spirit Temple, the Demon Suppression Temple, the Daqian Dynasty, or more enemies.
We are not afraid of any challenges, but we don’t want the people of Emperor Wu City to fall into disaster again, and we don’t want the people of Emperor Emperor City to be filled with mourning. This is the promise made by our adoptive father with a blood oath thousands of years ago when he knelt in the main hall of the palace before the fall of the emperor.
My adoptive father has shouldered the heavy responsibility of fate and supported Mr. Tang, but please let Mr. Tang spare the city of Emperor Wu and the 37 million people of Emperor Wu of the city."
Tang Yan was slightly absent-minded, and really didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's rare that there is a city lord who thinks about the people in the world. Miss Ke is so righteous, and Tang Yan admires her. Okay, I promise you, I will never step into Emperor Wu's city in this life.
The relationship between Emperor Wu City and Jiulong Ridge will not be revealed."
Ke Yutong nodded lightly and continued to put on Tang Yan's makeup: "I will thank the fellow villagers in Emperor Wu City for Mr. Tang."
"Don't be too hasty to thank me. Since you have seen the chaos in the Central Plains, you should understand that all forces cannot survive alone. Sooner or later, they will fall into war. Emperor Wu's city, which is a forbidden area, will not be immune either. Now that General Ke has left, only a few of you are left.
, how can we hold on to it?”
"Young Master Tang, there is no need to worry about it. My adoptive father spent a year condensing a shadow before he left. It can frighten all parties at the critical moment and make them mistakenly think that General Ke is still in Emperor Wu City. This is enough. As for whether it can avoid the threat of war.
, we have our own way."
"Miss Ke, you misunderstood. I am not advising you to join the war. I can provide you with a safer place."
"Eternal Beast Mountain? No need. The meaning of the existence of Emperor Wu City is that homeland, which is home, root, and the last spiritual sustenance of the people of the empire. If even Emperor Wu City is abandoned, the meaning of our existence will be gone.
Even if the war is really unavoidable, Emperor Wu's city will be destroyed in its final homeland, and it will not wander into the void." Ke Yutong's tone was soft, but after he said it calmly, it gave people an inexplicable feeling of tenacity and bloodiness.
Tang Yan was speechless and could only say: "It's up to you. If you really need help one day, I can help in a relatively obscure way."
"Thank you in advance, Mr. Tang."
"You're welcome, Miss Ke, can I make a suggestion?"
"Master Tang, please."
"Can we stop being so raw?"
Ke Yutong looked at him, but did not respond. He took out a golden elixir from the brocade bag and handed it to Tang Yan: "Please take it, Mr. Tang. If one day in the future, the elixir melts and disappears, it means that Emperor Wu's city has been destroyed."
It no longer exists. Don’t be anxious, Mr. Tang. You can go to the Mengxing Terrace in the Moon Kingdom, I will wait for you there.”
Tang Yan sighed inwardly. He was still very angry. Why did his words sound like explaining the funeral arrangements. But he wanted to find a lighter topic. The girl in front of him was obviously not the type who liked to joke. "You just mentioned that your brother
Dead? Can you tell me the reason?"
"Dead, died in the Forgotten War Realm. Most of the three thousand golden armor guards brought by my adoptive father have been lost by now. Two saints have also lost one." Ke Yutong's tone was very calm, but her clear expression could be seen.
There was a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, and even the hand applying makeup trembled unnoticeably.
