Tang Lie smiled and said: "It's best this way. I'll leave this matter to you. As for the price, as long as it's not too harsh, don't argue with them." There is another very important reason why he did this. In order to make Yanyue happy, Yanyue has been in a depressed mood since she was forced to leave the Yanyan Ranch.

Xuan'er's cheers suddenly came from the distance: "Master, Brother Ya is back."

Tang Lie showed an expression of surprise. Ya Yi'an's return was nothing short of great news for him. Although he and Ya Yi'an always bickered constantly when they were together, in his heart he had already regarded him as... A close friend who shares weal and woe.

He strode towards the direction of Xuan'er's shouting. Xuan'er flapped her wings and flew in the air. She pointed her delicate fingers behind her. Tang Lie looked in the direction she pointed. Sure enough, he saw two knights speeding towards his position. Chi Lai. The person on the left is Ya Yi'an. The one on the right turns out to be Taitul, his sworn brother after a long absence.

Tang Lie couldn't conceal his inner joy. He cheered and greeted the two of them.

Taitul and Yai'an jumped off the horse almost at the same time. Taitul took a huge step, taking three steps in two rows. He grabbed Tang Lie's hands before Yai'an could. He laughed and said, "Good brother. I miss my brother so much."

Although Ya Yi'an also stretched out his hand, no one shook it. He looked at Lindsay beside him and stretched out his hand with a smile. Unexpectedly, Lindsay said lukewarmly: "Hello, Mr. Ya."

Ya Yi'an was extremely embarrassed. He chuckled. His eyes turned to Tang Lie again. Seeing that he and Taitul were still talking enthusiastically, he couldn't help but feel angry: "Damn. It's not wrong. We are all friends. Pretend I don’t exist.”

Tang Lie and Taitul exchanged glances. They rushed to Ya Yi'an at the same time and lifted him up. Ya Yi'an shouted: "I want to murder." His buttocks were heavily slapped on the soft flesh. On the grass, Tang Lie laughed and said, "I know you, you bastard, even if you turn into ashes."

Ya Yi'an rubbed his butt and stood up. Tang Lie put his arms around his shoulders enthusiastically and said, "Do you have the guts to have a couple of drinks?"

"I'm afraid of you. My last name is yours."

Looking at Tang Lie's skillful way of roasting the whole lamb, Ya Yi'an and Taitul were both stunned. Tang Lie smiled and said: "There is no way. The types of food here are single. It's either mutton or beef all day long. It forces me to become a roast lamb. You're a master." He handed the roasted leg of lamb to Ya Yi'an and Taitul respectively. Then he picked up the wine bowl and said: "We meet again after a long separation. Let's have a drink first."

Taitul smiled and said: "Okay. I won't go home until I get drunk tonight."

Ya Yi'an responded: "I will sacrifice my life to accompany the villain."

Tang Lie couldn't help but raise his middle finger to him.

After drinking the kumiss in one gulp, Tang Lie wiped the corners of his lips and said, "Tell me how you two met."

Just as Taitul was about to speak, Yayi'an had already said, "It's a long story. I originally wanted to go to Xuanwu Kingdom to investigate the market conditions there and inquire about military affairs. Unexpectedly, a civil war broke out in Xuanwu Kingdom."

Tang Lie smiled and said: "It seems that you are really a bad star. Wherever you go, war will burn."

Tetul nodded sympathetically.

Ya Yi'an said aggrievedly: "The entire continent of Grandia is now a powder keg. They are doing nothing for me in the war."

Taitul smiled and said: "Maybe it's none of your business. But wars will start immediately wherever you go. It's too coincidental."

After joking, Tang Lie turned the conversation to the main topic: "Brother, how is my adoptive father?"

Taitul smiled and said: "The old man is very kind. He and my tribesmen are temporarily stationed in the underground forest. I have been thinking about you these days." He filled up the wine himself and said: "That time we were separated on the battlefield of Huju Pass. .I am worried about your safety. I have been searching for a long time but still have no news about you. I was scolded severely by the old man after I returned."

Ya Yi'an smiled and said: "I value sex over friends. I deserve it."

His words made Tang Lie a little confused. He thought to himself: "How come Taitul values ​​sex over friends?"

Ya Yi'an said with a strange expression: "Do you remember Fina's deputy general Rong Xiaoqing?"

Taitul raised his fist and was about to strike. Ya Yi'an was so frightened that he hid behind Tang Lie: "Rong Xiaoqing had already tricked him into sleeping with him."

Tang Lie burst out laughing and gave a thumbs up to Taitul.

Taitul said boldly: "Where there is love, there is a golden stone. But I am still not as good as you. Have you already taken care of Fina?"

Tang Lie listened as they talked more and more. He hurriedly changed the subject and said, "By the way. You came from Xuanwu Kingdom. What is the situation there?"

Ya Yi'an rushed to say: "It's a mess. Now Xuan Yuan has gathered a large number of troops to try to capture Chuanyun City. A bloody battle is inevitable."

Tang Lie couldn't help but frown. The pitiful and pretty faces of Xuan Bo and Fina appeared in front of his eyes. He didn't know whether their young shoulders could withstand the wind and rain.

Taitul said: "The strange thing is that for the Lande Empire, this is clearly a large-scale attack and a great opportunity to annex the Xuanwu Empire in one fell swoop. They actually stood still. I really don't know what they were thinking."

Tang Lie muttered: "Perhaps they want to wait until both opponents are hurt before sending troops. Maybe they have other plans."

"What's the plan?" Ya Yi'an and Taitul asked at the same time.

Tang Lie sighed and said: "As far as I know, the real power of the Lande Empire has fallen into the hands of the high priest Liu Guyan. And Liu Guyan is the magic sword under the Demon Emperor Qiu Chan."

Taitul took a breath of air and whispered: "According to what you say, Demon Emperor Qiu Chan is the initiator of everything." He punched the grass heavily and said: "My father is right. Demon Emperor As long as the emperor is not eliminated, this continent will never have peace."

Ya Yi'an said: "It's easy for you to say. Who on this continent has the ability to deal with Demon Emperor Qiu Chan. Now even his minions have occupied the power of the Lande Empire. This shows how powerful their power is. Maybe Xuanwu Kingdom has also been controlled by Demon Emperor Qiu Chan. There has been a tacit understanding between them."

Tang Liehu's eyes lit up. Ya Yi'an's words woke up the man in his dream. From Xuan Sizhe's tragic death to Hetel being forced into a desperate situation, all of this was beyond the ability of Prince Xuan Yuan. Ya Yi's An is right. Perhaps the power of the Xuanwu Empire has already fallen into the hands of others. If it is as they suspected, the power of the two empires, Xuanwu and Lande, has fallen into the hands of the Demon Emperor. This continent is not far away from destruction. .

Ya Yi'an said loudly: "I finally understand. All wars are started by the Demon Emperor and his minions. No wonder that in a short period of time, Xuanwu Kingdom and Lande will increase their efforts to attack the surrounding tribes. No wonder.

There is war and peace between them. On the surface, they appear to be sworn enemies, but in fact they have already reached a tacit understanding."

Taitul suddenly thought of something and said worriedly: "If this is really the case, wouldn't Xiaoqing be in danger this time?"

Tang Lie didn't know why he emphasized this statement.

Taitul explained: "Xiao Qing is currently in Chuanyun City. If Lao An is really right, it will only be a matter of time before Chuanyun City is attacked."

Tang Lie's heart sank. Taitul cared about Rong Xiaoqing. But he had two confidantes in Chuanyun City. He cared about them even more than Taitul.

Ya Yi'an looked at the worried looks of the two people. He sighed and said, "I hope Chuanyun City can survive this war."

Taitul suddenly slapped his thigh hard and said angrily: "What a bastard. Anyone who dares to touch my woman is an open enemy of me, Taitul. I will seek bad luck from him in my life."

Tang Lie whispered: "It's getting late. Let's go back to sleep. If you have anything to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow..." He walked slowly towards the distance. That was not the direction of the camp.

Bad news kept coming. How could he sleep peacefully?

He sat down cross-legged on the grass hill. Only to find Ya Yi'an following him to his side.

Tang Lie couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Why are you following me?"

Ya Yi'an smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. I'm not interested in you."

"Fuck." Tang Lie couldn't help scolding him when he saw the lustful expression on his face.

Ya Yi'an said seriously: "There are some things I haven't finished telling you yet."

Tang Lie nodded.

"I heard that Zhang Baqiao and Pan En have gone to find the Golden Cave."

If Ya Yi'an hadn't mentioned it, Tang Lie would have almost forgotten about it. He smiled slightly and said, "I am very satisfied with the life in front of me. Even if you give me more money, I may not be happier than I am now."

Ya Yi'an yawned, lay down next to Tang Lie, broke a piece of grass, and chewed it slowly between his teeth: "Tang Lie, do you really plan to live in this pasture all your life?"

"I have no other plans for the time being." Tang Lie followed his example and lay on the grass. His eyes were fixed on the bright stars in the sky. The pretty faces of Xuan Bo and Fina appeared in his mind.

Ya Yi'an smiled secretly and said: "You can't lie to me. You are not a peaceful guy at all."

Tang Lie glared at him dissatisfied.

Ya Yi'an whispered: "They say you are the Holy Dragon Knight of Na Laoshi. I don't know if it's true or not."

Tang Lie said angrily: "What the hell are you doing?"

Ya Yi'an said: "Someone asked me to bring a letter to the Holy Dragon Knight."

"Bring it here."

Ya Yi'an said with a bad smile: "You are not a Holy Dragon Knight. This letter will do you no good."

"Stop talking nonsense. Give it to me." Tang Lie turned over and sat up, looking fierce.

Only then did Ya Yi'an escape from his arms with a jade slip. Tang Lie was slightly startled. This jade slip was quite familiar to him. Could it be a letter from Ming Lin to him?

Tang Lie unfolded the jade slip with full of doubts. He saw a line of beautiful small words engraved on it: "Golden scales are not things in the pond. They transform into dragons when encountering wind and clouds."

Tang Lie's heart was shaking and he said loudly: "Where did you get this jade slip?"

Ya Yi'an looked innocent and said, "How did I know? On the border between Xuanwu Kingdom and Blue Germany, someone asked a child to give it to me." His expression looked extremely sincere. Tang Lie couldn't help but not believe it.

Tang Lie looked at the jade slip for a long time and then carefully put it into his arms.

Ya Yi'an added: "Guess who I met in the imperial capital of Xuanwu Kingdom."

"who."

"That tigress Xu Yanniang." A look of anger appeared on Ya Yi'an's face.

Thinking of the grievances between Xu Yanniang and Ya Yi'an, Tang Lie couldn't help but smile.

Ya Yi'an gritted her teeth and said, "I just listened to what she said about Zhang Baqiao and Pan En."

Tang Lie laughed and said: "It seems that you two are very destined. Have you ever considered pursuing her?"

Ya Yi'an knew that Tang Lie was teasing him. He whispered: "Xu Yanniang also told me one thing. The Queen of the Sea Tribe, Shui Daiyin, is discussing an alliance with the Xuanwu Kingdom. If the alliance agreement is reached, Princess Xuanbo and the others may be afraid The only option is to accept the fate of failure."

Tang Lie said coldly: "You talk about it. It seems that you are trying to persuade me to rush to Chuanyun City."

Ya Yi'an said with a playful smile: "Are you willing to go back?"

Tang Lie shook his head vigorously and said: "I have decided. From now on, I will stay on this grassland."

Lindsay bought the Hunting Swallow Ranch at a very low price through an intermediary businessman. It seemed that Muljin and his tribe were eager to leave here. They moved everything within three days of selling the ranch.

Tang Lie and Yan Yue stood side by side in the center of Lieyan Ranch. After these herdsmen left, they burned all the remaining tents and fences in the ranch. Even the old and weak livestock that could not be taken away were slaughtered by them. .

Yan Yue looked at the desolate scene and couldn't help but burst into tears. She never expected that the gentle and friendly tribesmen in the past would do such a thing.

Tang Liekai explained to her: "It must be the surprise attack by the orcs of the Gulie tribe that made them hate everything around them. I believe that one day they will let go of the hatred in their hearts."

The little princess who was patrolling shouted from a distance: "Tang Lie, come and see. There is a cave here."

Tang Lie and Yan Yue hurried to where the little princess was. When they got closer, they saw a hole about two meters in diameter. Looking down, the hole was so dark and bottomless that it loomed from the entrance of the hole. There was a sharp chill.
