Chapter 675 The Wind Is Rising
Loulan Temple.
Since obtaining the dragon soul, the water level of Crescent Moon Spring has returned to normal, and Loulan's crisis has been resolved.
The high priest did not relax because even if the internal crisis was resolved, the external threat still existed.
Ever since Tudor sent the dragon soul, he has received considerable courtesy in Loulan.
Escorted by a group of golden-armored guards, Tudor came to the temple.
The high priest was holding a scepter and was located in the center of the temple. When he saw Tudor, he told the situation of the Loulan warriors' investigation.
"Loulan's cavalry patrolled the edge of the desert and did not see a large number of troops coming to Loulan. From the mouths of passing merchants on the other side of the oasis, I learned that the Qin army did not come to the Western Regions either."
Now Loulan is on alert, and the rangers are scouting out, but they don't get any signs of the coming war.
This can't help but make the high priest wonder, is there something wrong with what Tudor said about Zhao Shuang's ambition?
"Zhao Shuang's army has conquered the Yueshi and has reached an alliance with Wusun. He does not want to use his own army. The military strength of these two countries is enough."
"Wusun and Yuezhi?"
Loulan is isolated from the world, but he also knows the blood feud between the two tribes. Can they put down their war?
"Yes."
But Tudor was very sure.
Although the high priest was unfamiliar with the Qin army, he knew the armies of the two countries very well.
These are big countries that control tens of thousands of people.
Although the desert and mountains are Loulan's best protection, if Yuezhi and Wusun also join the Qin people, the threat to Loulan will be considerable.
The high priest listened to Tudor's words and finally chose to believe it.
Loulan's original military strength was focused on the temple and the Seal of the Demon God of War. Nowadays, in order to cope with external pressure, the protective power of these two places has been weakened a lot.
"In this case, more forces must be sent out for investigation."
"High Priest!"
A golden-armored guard from the temple came in and made a report in front of the high priest.
"The cavalry patrolling outside found two refugees. They know the details of the Qin army."
"Put them..."
The high priest just wanted to ask the cavalry to take the two people into Loulan and ask them personally, but Tudor's reaction was quite intense and unusual.
"Is there a man who looks to be in his twenties or thirties and a teenage girl?"
The golden-armored guard who brought the news glanced at the high priest, who nodded.
"The cavalry team did not send back a description of the appearance and age of these two people. They only know that they are a man and a woman. They went out to escape from the evil Lord Feng of Qin and strayed into the desert. They were rescued by our cavalry team."
"High Priest, they are Zhao Shuang's spies. Can't they be allowed to enter Loulan?"
The high priest was a little strange. She didn't hear any useful information, but why did Tudor insist that they were spies?
"Take them into jail for the time being!"
The high priest's handling did not satisfy Tudor, who was a little nervous.
"can not be like this."
The high priest frowned, and the people around him felt strange.
Although they didn't get along for long, Tudor was a gentle person in their eyes, so why did he suddenly look so strange.
"Is there something wrong with what I'm dealing with?"
"We can't let them enter Loulan."
Although he didn't know the reason, the high priest still looked at the golden-armored guard who brought the news and complied with Tudor's wishes.
"Where are they now?"
"It should be half an hour before we reach Loulan."
"Stop them."
The high priest thought that his words could reassure Tudor, but the other party became even more nervous, with a hint of urgency in his words.
"Half an hour... No, it's too late... I can't stop you..."
Tudor spoke in detail, his thoughts scattered, then he raised his head and looked at the high priest, with a bit of beast-like devouring gaze in his eyes.
"you……"
The high priest suddenly felt the danger. She wanted to distance herself from Tudor, but the other party suddenly struck out and knocked the high priest to the ground.
No one in this palace had thought that Tudor had such skills.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud noise outside the temple.
The people in the temple looked around and saw a huge figure with a blood-red aura on the square in the distance. He was showing off his violence in the square. A large number of guards who were unaware of the situation rushed over to stop the commotion. .
Now the high priest has understood the true face of Tudor under the hypocritical mask and reacted.
"Are you with the people outside?"
Tudor looked at her condescendingly.
"High Priest, you are really smart!"
The guards who were about to report the commotion saw such a scene and sent out a signal. The golden-armored guards who had not yet completely attracted them gathered in the temple.
They were concerned about the safety of the high priest and did not dare to take action.
"But why didn't you wait until the people outside attracted all the guards before taking action?"
After hearing this, Tudor smiled bitterly.
"It's too late."
The high priest saw that Tudor today did not have that gentle look at all, and was full of fear.
"What's too late?"
The high priest saw fear on Tudor's face. Although she knew that this fear might be related to the man and woman, she didn't understand what was behind this fear?
Tudor's sudden burst of power made it clear to the high priest that perhaps no one in Loulan could be his opponent.
What was there for him to be so afraid of?
But Tudor's next words surprised the high priest.
"Zhao Shuang is here!"
In Tudor's previous descriptions, Zhao Shuang was an evil existence. But when Tudor was convinced that Zhao Shuang was coming, his eyes were full of eagerness and fear.
For a moment, the high priest was a little curious, what kind of person is Zhao Shuang?
But Tudor didn't give the high priest a chance to continue thinking. He opened his palms, and blood beads glowing with blood floated from his palms, giving him a strange feeling.
"Chi You's blood?"
The high priest exclaimed, a burst of red light swept across, and everyone in the temple collapsed. But the guards in the palace were unable to break through the barrier formed by the red light and enter the palace.
"I know that the seal can only be broken by the high priest, so I want to gain your trust and then take you to the place of seal. But now, things have changed, and I don't have so much time."
Tudor helped the high priest up, and under the protection of Chi You's blood, he forcibly broke through the blockade of numerous guards and reached the statue of the goddess through the long stone path in the air.
The dragon soul is embedded in the hair crown on the head of the goddess statue, guarding the Crescent Moon Spring in Loulan.
However, when Tudor held the high priest hostage and walked through the inner passage of the statue of the goddess to the platform under the crown, he raised his head and saw a man covered in black robes who had reached the front of the crown at some point and stretched out his hand. I was about to get the dragon soul.
The wind was strong and the black robes rustled.
