Qin Ning's struggle

The Yucheng starship entered Wangcheng, and did not stop at the air station, but sailed into the resident dock.

The silver building is suspended in mid-air, like a miniature version of the main castle.The colorful totems are bright and eye-catching, showing off the unique pride of Yucheng.

After the starship passed through the atmosphere, Qin Ning boarded the second deck, overlooking the historic city.

If Yucheng is described as a young man, full of vigor and vitality, Wangcheng is like an old man, with a gray color and a dull look.

In Qin Ning's impression, the place where Suzaku used to live should be a fiery planet.

Unexpectedly, most of the buildings in the city are black and white, with simple shapes, and there are not many attractive places.On the contrary, the Star City residence outside the city is either silvery white or brilliant gold, which is even more eye-catching.

The starship enters the dock and its engines die.

The top of the dock closes and the internal lights come on.A few hawks were waiting in front of the passage with solemn expressions.

With a blunt sound, the hatch opened.

First came the security officer headed by Yan Lan, then woodpeckers and black geese, and finally nearly a hundred swans.After everyone left the ship, they stood on both sides, tall and straight, without squinting.

Bai Jue walked out with Qin Ning in his arms, and Buzzard immediately stepped forward to greet him and saluted respectfully.

"Lord Bai."

"Wang Cheng didn't get any news?"

"No." Li Yan said, "The council is still arguing about the residence, I only sent someone to report to Yuhuang. However, this meeting should also know."

When the starship enters the royal city, it will inevitably pass through the space station.

At this moment, [-]% of the congressmen are wondering what is the reason why Bai Jue left and returned in less than a few days.

Inspecting the Star City resident?

Obviously untenable.

When walking out, Qin Ning patted Bai Jue on the shoulder.The latter understood and glanced at him, but didn't put him down immediately.He didn't let go of his arms until he entered the elevator.

"Follow me."

With a warning, Bai Jue turned around and asked Li Yan how the exploration of the crater was progressing and whether there was any gain.

"We have collected some data." Li Yan replied, "However, when we reach a certain depth, the detector cannot continue to descend. Forcibly advancing, the instrument will stop working immediately."

"Find out what is the reason?"

"At present, it can be determined that there is a barrier under the crater. It is not like a natural formation, but more like man-made."

Speaking of this, Li Yan suddenly stopped, his eyes swept over Qin Ning, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, Mao Sai suddenly realized, and suddenly realized.

Why didn't he think of it before!

That mysterious barrier is simply a replica of the barren island mask!

"This is the Suzaku ruins. Wangcheng tried to destroy it several times, but failed. The detector is blocked and cannot work normally. The descending of personnel will also be blocked."

Speaking of what was in her heart, Li Yan became more and more sure that her guess was correct.

"This situation is very similar to the ruins of the raven."

Dawn ruins?

Bai Jue fell into deep thought, while Qin Ning's eyes lit up.

If this is the case, will Suzaku survive below?

A group of people left the dock and went to the ground command post.

The alloy building with a height of [-] meters has the distinctive characteristics of Yucheng.Since its completion, it has been regarded as the symbol of Yucheng resident.

"Master Bai, someone from the council is here." As soon as he reached the square in front of the gate, Li Chuan came to inform him.

"who is it?"

"Grey Eagles and Harrier Eagles."

"Is there any news about the golden eagle and snowy owl?"

"There are two communications." Li Chuan turned on the communicator, and a few lines of short text flashed on the screen, "No one came."

"I see."

Bai Jue bent down to pick up Qin Ning, strode across the square with long legs.

Behind him, Kurikawa was confused.

"Young Patriarch, Lord Bai, what does this mean?"

"not understand?"

Kurikawa nodded honestly.

"Send those uninvited eagles away. Then reply to the golden eagle and the snowy owl. You don't need to say too much, just tell them that Yucheng understands their kindness."

"It's that simple?"

"What do you think?"

Pressing Li Chuan's shoulder with one hand, Li Yan said in a low voice: "Master Bai doesn't want to see the Eagles, it's not a day or two. The alliance between Yacheng and Lincheng and Yucheng is only temporary. People like Wangcheng, You don't have to be too hot."

The tragedy of Dianzi made Honghu very wary of other star cities.In Yucheng, there are only a few clans that can be completely trusted.

Buteo carving is among them.

"I understand."

After Li Yan dialed a few words, Li Chuan immediately understood what attitude he should take towards the visitor.

However, most people in the royal city can be easily dismissed.There is only one person, he really can't help it.

Yuhuang.

"His Majesty?"

Who will tell him that Emperor Yu is not staying in the palace, what is he doing in Yucheng's residence?

"I heard that City Lord Bai brought the scorpion."

The Yuhuang car is light and simple, and the guards only have two horned carvings.

The body is not a gorgeous royal robe, but a short coat and trousers woven with ethnic totems.The waist-length hair is tied behind the head, except for the three gold rings on the right ear, there are no other ornaments on the whole body.

This is the usual attire for female horned eagles, but it is somewhat inappropriate to put it on Yuhuang.

"City Master Bai won't be so stingy, right?" Emperor Yu raised his hand to promise, "You tell him, I'll just take a look and never touch him!"

Is this what the king should say?

Kurikawa's head was full of black lines, and he subconsciously looked at Kakumako.The latter's cousin was serious, but unfortunately, the veins bulging on his forehead betrayed him every minute.

It didn't make sense, and he couldn't persuade him to leave. He couldn't stop him, so Li Chuan quickly turned on the communicator.

After hearing the news, Li Yan was also speechless on the spot.

Bai Jue is used to it.

If Emperor Yu didn't have this kind of character, the two sides might not be able to reach a cooperation.

"Please come to the reception room, Yuhuang."

After reading the last few lines of data, Bai Jue turned off the recorder, stood up and said, "I'll be there right away."

"Master Bai, the Emperor Yu wants to see the bird..."

Before finishing the second half of the sentence, Li Yan swallowed it back into her stomach.

If you don't swallow it, you won't succeed, Lord Bai's smile is too scary.

However, it turns out that some people - such as Yuhuang, even Bai Jue cannot be easily dismissed.

In the room, Qin Ning was sitting on the bed, eating grilled fish, and studying the literature on ravens at the same time.

Hearing a knock on the door, he thought it was Bai Jue.The metal door slid open to both sides, and it was Yan Lan who entered.

"Is there a problem?"

"Yuhuang visited the Star City resident and asked to see you."

"The Emperor Yu wants to see me?"

After hearing Yan Lan's report, Qin Ning was quite surprised.

"Yes." Yan Lan nodded.

"Must see you?"

"Master Bai said, if you don't want to, you don't have to go."

"...I'd better go and have a look."

In a sense, the current Yuhuang is an ally of Yucheng.

Since a person has come, he should be called to see him, and he should not avoid seeing him because of emotion and reason.

Put away the recorder in twos and twos, stuffed the rest of the grilled fish into his mouth, Qin Ning jumped out of bed, walked out of the room with Yan Lan, and entered the elevator.

The lounge is on the ninth floor, not far from the reception room.

In less than half a minute, the elevator stopped.

The metal door opened, and Li Yan was waiting by the side.Beside him, there is a simple and honest handsome guy.

Qin Ning took a careful look, and always felt that it looked familiar.

With her back to Jiaocheng, Li Yan winked at Qin Ning and mouthed: When you see Queen Yu, don't stay any longer, just show your face and leave.

Qin Ning was noncommittal.

Is the current Emperor Yu terrible?

Otherwise, why did Yan Lan and Li Yan react like this?

From the elevator to the reception room, two corridors need to be passed.

During the march, occasionally the resident Yu clan passed by, and their eyes all fell on Qin Ning, without exception.

Arriving at the reception room, Li Yan pressed the control panel, and Qin Ning raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

Sure enough, a thin layer of sweat.

Anyone who is stared at like this will have the same reaction.

In the room, Emperor Yu was talking enthusiastically.Bai Jue listened sideways, nodding or shaking his head from time to time, and rarely spoke.

"Since we have to do it, why not make it the biggest?"

"I clean up the falcons every day, and Lincheng can't make waves. I want to win over the deserted city, but I'm still rejected by the vultures."

"It's the best time to convene the City Lord's Council at this time, and it will definitely bring more people to our side."

As soon as he spoke, Yu Huang stood up and banged on the table.

"I don't believe that if more than half of the city owners nod, things will still work!"

"At that time, I will give you the power ring, and I will abdicate smoothly."

"Don't ask too much, give me a place to live in Yucheng. It's best to be a starship commander, and I guarantee you will not suffer."

"As far as the level of fighting is concerned, I'm the second in the blue field, so you can be the number one. I will be your thug, and I will definitely fight wherever you want, and whoever you want to beat, it's no problem to attack the city!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, Yuhuang pressed his hands on the table, almost leaving palm marks.

She had imagined such a beautiful day countless times.

"How about it? Salary and benefits are negotiable!"

Squeezing his forehead, Bai Jue was speechless.I have felt headaches several times in my life, and they are all related to this horned eagle.

Standing at the door, Qin Ning's jaw dropped to the ground, his eyes widened.

What did he hear and what did he see?

The majestic Emperor Yu voluntarily asked to abdicate to serve as Honghu's thug!

Are you tired from the journey and hallucinating?Or did he not wake up, and everything in front of him was a dream?

Before Qin Ning could figure it out, the two people in the room heard movement.

Seeing Li Yan, Yu Huang only raised his eyebrows.Seeing the black-haired Qin Ning, his eyes immediately lit up. With one hand propped on the edge of the table, he jumped up neatly and landed steadily.

There is no sloppiness in the action, which is called a chic and handsome.

The two were facing each other, and Qin Ning once again witnessed with his own eyes how strange the appearance of the horned eagle was.

This evil side face, rigid front, and height beyond normal, I really can't do it if I want to find a few accurate words to describe it.

Yuhuang bent down, feeling uncomfortable.Squatting down is also uncomfortable.He simply put his hands together and lifted Qin Ning up.

"His Majesty!"

Kokoro quickly stopped him.It's agreed that you can't do anything, but Honghu is right next to you!

"Oh, sorry, sorry."

Yuhuang hurriedly "put down" Qin Ning, with an apology in his simple and honest smile.

"I forgot." Then he turned his head and gave Bai Jue a thumbs up, "This bird is so beautiful, it will definitely become even more beautiful when it grows up, you have taken care of it well!"

Bai Jue nodded happily.

Qin Ning silently looked at the roof. He should be happy when others praised him for his good looks, right?

So what's the matter with this depression?

The buzzard eagle looked at the horned eagle with a delicate expression.

With a unique appearance and a different personality, it really looks the same.

The horn carving is really wronged.

Swear to the stars, except for this one, most horned eagles are never like this!

After seeing the scorpion, satisfying his curiosity, Emperor Yu bid farewell and left.

Before leaving, he took out a gold box with horn carved totems and handed it to Qin Ning.

"It's a rule in the clan that when you see a chick, you must give a greeting gift."

The length and width of the box are more than two meters, and the visual weight is not light.Just as Qin Ning was about to reach out his hand, Bai Jue had already taken it for him.

"Thank you for your kindness."

"No need." Yu Huang waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not a good thing, let's play with it."

Don't mention it, young birds are so beautiful, how beautiful are Suzaku, Qingluan and pheasants?

Missing the chance to see him is definitely the biggest regret of Tori.

I heard that the reason for the extinction of the Phoenix clan is not simple.

If she finds out which clan is planning behind it, she will definitely hit the door and beat her up hard!

The insider is dead, isn't he a direct bloodline?

Still beating!

After sending off Emperor Yu and his party, Qin Ning returned to the room, opened the lid of the box, and the room was filled with golden light.

This is nothing good?

Thinking about it carefully, for the female bird, these gold and silver treasures are really useless except for jewelry.

Not so with male birds.

Recalling what he saw in the document, Qin Ning's ears felt hot, and he slammed the lid of the box shut.

Who knows, giving a phoenix gem actually represents a "show of love".

However, Bai Jue didn't explain, he was kept in the dark, and then gave it away twice!

He fell back on the bed, put one hand on his forehead, and the hot feeling spread rapidly.

At first, Qin Ning thought it was due to his mood.Time passed by every minute and every second, and the heat never eased, but showed signs of aggravation.

"what happened?"

Sitting up suddenly, Qin Ning spread his hands.

At some point, a black totem appeared between the shoulders and neck, covered both arms, and soon extended to the fingertips.

Realizing that the situation was wrong, Qin Ning didn't dare to hesitate, and quickly turned on the communicator.

Seeing Qin Ning's appearance, Bai Jue's face changed slightly.

"I'll go right now."

Qin Ning nodded, and fell limp on the bed, soon he didn't even have the strength to speak.

heat.

My whole body is hot.

After an unknown amount of time, maybe a few minutes, or maybe a few seconds, the door slid open to both sides.The platinum figure quickly walked to the bed and scooped up Qin Ning.

Sweat drenched his robe, and the black totem of a bird of prey covered Qin Ning's back.

Bai Jue couldn't help frowning.

She tore off her drenched top, wrapped Qin Ning in a sheet, and at the same time spread her wings to surround him carefully.

Platinum light bloomed, and the heat was slightly reduced.

Qin Ning was finally able to open his eyes, but he lacked strength, his throat was dry, and he couldn't speak a word.

Seeing this, Bai Jue lowered his head, gently wrapped Qin Ning's lower lip in his mouth, and sucked in a gust of coolness.

"what?"

"It's okay, don't be afraid."

Gently stroking Qin Ning's back, Bai Jue said gently, "Probably because you are too close to the ruins, and you have been in contact with the Suzaku eggshell before, which triggered the blood power in your body."

"Blood power?"

"Yes." The palm covered the back of Qin Ning's head, and the fingers pressed lightly, with a soothing voice, "Sleep, it will be fine when you wake up. I will guard you here."

There was chaos in her mind, knowing that things might not be that simple, but Qin Ning was powerless to think about it.He quickly closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep in Honghu's wings.

When he was fast asleep and his breathing became steady, Bai Jue lowered his head and brushed the pale totem with his fingertips.

The strength of an adult phoenix is ​​not something a young bird can bear.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise, there is no guarantee what would happen.

After putting Qin Ning down, Bai Jue was about to get up and leave.

Unexpectedly, with Qin Ning hugging her waist, it was not so easy to escape.

Bai Jue chuckled lightly and lay back on the bed.He leaned forward and hugged Qin Ning into his arms, resting his chin on the top of Qin Ning's hair, and did not leave all night.

The next day, when Qin Ning woke up, she felt refreshed, without any weakness from last night.

When she opened her eyes and saw Bai Jue, Qin Ning was not surprised at all.

In sleep, he is not totally unaware of the outside world.It's clear that he hugged Honghu and refused to let go.

Therefore, blush is blush, and the next time you encounter the same situation, nine times out of ten, the result will be the same.

After breakfast, Qin Ning walked out of the room.

According to the plan, he will go to the crater with Bai Jue to explore the Suzaku ruins.

"Let's go now?"

"Yes." Bai Jue leaned over and put the two gold bracelets on Qin Ning's forearms.

Shaking his wrist, Qin Ning found that the pattern of the gold bracelet was similar, and the feeling of wearing it on his hand was different from when he went to the Qingluan ruins.

"One can open the protective barrier, and the other can isolate the radiation."

"Radiation?" Qin Ning was slightly taken aback.

"Preparation is safe." Bai Jue said.

The flying shuttle entered the crater, about 150 meters away, and could not continue down.

The hatch opened, Bai Jue bent down and picked Qin Ning up, spread out the white golden wings, and jumped down.

Five swans accompany them, beware of possible changes.

As the barrier approached, Qin Ning started to feel hot again.

"uncomfortable?"

"It's the same as last night." Qin Ning frowned, "It's just not that serious."

Bai Jue didn't say much, just bowed his head and touched Qin Ning's lips.

The cool breath flowed in from the mouth, and the dryness was relieved immediately.

"feel better now?"

Qin Ning nodded.

The two of them didn't realize what happened, the accompanying Honghu petrified collectively, froze in mid-air, and almost fell freely with its wings spread.

With the arrival of several people, the red light flickered below the barrier.

Honghu scattered and began to search for the entrance.

Driven by intuition, Qin Ning flew close to the mountain wall and brushed away the gray layer on the surface.

When he found the familiar pattern, he immediately called everyone, pointed to the exposed square stone, and said, "Such stones can also be found on deserted islands."

The ashlars are embedded in the rock wall and are closely connected with the surroundings, and the lines seem to be formed naturally.It's not that I've seen it before, the impression is too deep, Qin Ning may not be able to recognize it immediately.

"This is a totem, the oldest guardian totem." Bai Jue recognized Fang Shi, and immediately said, "Keep looking, there must be more than one piece."

Five square stones were found one after another.

According to the method recorded in the literature, several swans were dripped with blood one after another.After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no change in the barrier.

In the end, Qin Ning cut his finger.

The blood drops fell into the stone pattern and immediately turned into thin lines.

The ashlar cracked, and red light diffused in an instant, illuminating the entire crater.

The red light went out, hot wind swept through, and the barrier suddenly disappeared.

A terrifying suction appeared at the bottom of the mountain, Qin Ning was embraced by Bai Jue, and they fell into the darkness together.
