"How did we become spies?" Long Long was completely confused.
"Two dragons sneaked into our Xizhou army. If they are not spies, what are they?" Qi Yingzhu argued.
"Your Highness, didn't you get any news from Dongzhou?" Long Hu stared at Qi Yingzhu and said, "We left Dongzhou without saying goodbye. Your Highness, don't you know what this means?"
"I don't know." Qi Yingzhu pretended to be stupid. "How could anyone know that you were not following the orders of Dongzhou and deliberately lurking in our Xizhou army and secretly sending back intelligence?"
"Since we are really spies, and you are the enemy commander standing in front of us," Long Long said expressionlessly, "Should we kill you to silence you?"
"Ah!" Qi Yingzhu screamed in fright.
Because she suddenly remembered that Long Long had been promoted to the Demon King of Dongyuan Realm, while she was still only in the Huaxing Realm.
If a fight really broke out, how could he possibly be a match for Long Long? He might even subdue him with force, tie him up, and take him on the run to pass the time...
Thinking of this, Qi Yingzhu's face turned pale and he stepped back secretly.
I shouldn't have chased after him!
Seeing that the little tiger finally knew how to be afraid, Long Long and Long Hu looked at each other for a moment before speaking softly:
"Your Highness is a person of such value that it is not appropriate for you to risk your life against me. For the sake of our past friendship, why don't you just turn around and leave? We won't pursue the matter. How do you do that?"
Qi Yingzhu was silent for a moment, and then heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to herself:
For the sake of our past friendship?
In other words, he definitely has feelings for me, but...
Alas, it's just that the two camps are in opposition and I can't help myself...
Huh? He has already left Dongzhou and rebelled against the Dragon Clan, so how can there still be any opposition between the two camps?
"I understand." Qi Yingzhu calmed down and said slowly, "I believe you are not spies from Dongzhou."
"Since you have already rebelled against Dongzhou, our Qilin clan... can shelter you. If you want to join the White Tiger clan, I can also introduce you to it."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Long Hu was about to say that we should go find the Jiaolong clan, but Long Long gave her a look and she immediately came to her senses.
The affairs of the Jiaolong clan and Beiming Fanyang should not be mentioned easily to outsiders.
"But I dare not implicate Your Highness." Long Long also showed a grateful look and said sincerely, "But if this matter is discovered by Dongzhou, Zhongzhou will definitely be held accountable."
"Now that Zhongzhou and Xizhou have united to resist the enemies from the north and south, if they become enemies with Dongzhou because of us, we will be very upset."
"Don't worry!" Qi Yingzhu said hurriedly, "I can hide you in my manor. Not to mention Dongzhou, even in Zhongzhou and Xizhou, not many people will know about it!"
Manor, basement, shackles... associations quickly popped up in Long Long's mind, and he was suddenly terrified.
If I really end up in this little tiger's manor, won't she be able to do whatever she wants to me? This woman really has bad intentions towards me!
But Long Long knew very well that he could not offend the other party at this time. After all, if Qi Yingzhu disappeared or died in the northern border, it would inevitably cause a strong shock in Xizhou and Zhongzhou.
If Beizhou takes advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, the war may end early - for Longlong and Longhu, of course they hope that the war will last as long as possible, so that Beizhou will be tied up and have no time to search for suspicious people in the country.
Therefore, he just hesitated for a moment, and then said as if to confirm:
"Won't this cause trouble to His Highness?"
"No!" Qi Yingzhu shook her head like a rattle and looked at Longhu expectantly, fearing that he would utter a no.
Of course Qi Yingzhu knew how much Long Long valued Longhu.
Longhu was startled at first, but he quickly reacted.
A delaying tactic.
First coax Qi Yingzhu back. After arriving at Beiming Fanyang, won’t it be easy to regret it?
All I can say is that too many blank checks have been written. Girls like Little Fox, who were originally pure and innocent, have now learned everything on their own.
"Okay then." Long Long fell silent again.
Just when Qi Yingzhu was feeling a little anxious, she heard Long Long finally speak:
"Since Your Highness is willing to protect us, then I can no longer hide it: we are going deep into the Northern Province this time to meet an elder."
"Elder?" Qi Yingzhu was puzzled, but she did not ask rashly for fear of alerting Long Long.
"After meeting the elders, we will go to the southern border of Beizhou and meet His Highness at Chongshan Snow Ridge in half a month." Long Long continued, "If His Highness does not regret it by then, we will follow His Highness back to Zhongzhou; but if His Highness does not want to take us in, he only needs to stay out of the way. If we don't meet His Highness's people in the Snow Ridge, we will naturally turn around and leave."
"I won't go back on my word!" Qi Yingzhu hastily assured him, "I will definitely arrange for someone to pick you up there!"
She really meant what she said: You have to know that Long Long's wisdom and strategy are recognized by his master, the White Tiger General; and his bloodline is also extremely noble. He was able to reach the Dongyuan realm in such a short time. Which demon dares to compete with him?
Helping Long Long hide in Zhongzhou, and then winning his heart and making use of him later, would be of great benefit to both the Qilin clan and the White Tiger clan.
Of course, Qi Yingzhu did not dare to say that she had no selfish motives, but protecting Long Long had sufficient motives both publicly and privately, so she certainly would not hide any hidden calculations in it.
The only difficulty here is how to convince Long Long... Now that they finally have the chance, let alone meeting at the southern border of Beizhou, even if they are asked to invade Beizhou to rescue, Qi Yingzhu is very confident that she can convince the tribe.
"Then we'll meet in half a month at the snowy mountains in the southern part of Beizhou." Qi Yingzhu said quickly, "I'll arrange for the White Tiger Secret Guards to wait there, and you guys..."
She hesitated for a moment, sighed and said:
"You better be careful. Beizhou has always wanted to win over Dongzhou. If they find you, they won't be as easy to talk to as I am."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Long Long hurriedly thanked with a smile.
The two sides exchanged a few more words before Qi Yingzhu turned and left.
When leaving, Qi Yingzhu secretly made up her mind to abide by the agreement and pick up Long Long and others in the southern border of Beizhou half a month later.
Long Long was secretly glad that he had finally tricked this troublesome little tigress.
Next, he would take Dragon Fox to Beiming Fanyang.
With the cover of the rift cliff, the two men quickly headed north.
In order to conceal their tracks, the two men did not use the dragon clan's magical power to fly in the clouds and mist, but chose to fly directly on their swords, transforming into two faint sword lights and disappearing in the endless wind and snow.
