Chapter 182: Shadow Surges
only......
Lan Ning stared at the black snake sculpture and inexplicably felt that the pair of pitch-black snake pupils were very creepy.
She shuddered.
Xuan Heng caught this little movement and covered Lan Ning's eyes with his hands. "Don't look at it. This statue has been placed at the door for hundreds of years. I guess it has been stained with murderous intent from certain people. I'll have someone move it away later."
Each tribe has its own symbol. The Black Python tribe's symbol is a giant python carved from obsidian, coiled on a boulder, with its sinister vertical pupils staring at everyone who wants to join the Black Python tribe.
Xuan Heng, who is a member of the Xuan Python clan, didn't feel much.
After all, I grew up under surveillance.
He thought that it was the symbol of the Black Python Clan after all, but it was a pity that it scared his little cat, so he decided to take it down.
Xuan Heng did what he said. He protected Lan Ning and took two steps forward. The guards who had been in the dark immediately dismantled the sculpture. The noise was so loud that Lan Ning could not ignore it. He turned around and saw the sculpture broken into pieces on the ground.
Smashing deep holes in the ground one after another.
Lan Ning secretly felt it was a pity, but then he saw a black snake as thick as a thumb crawling out of the pit, spitting out its scarlet tongue and running around.
"..." Lan Ning widened his eyes in disbelief. Those obsidian stones could actually turn into snakes?
Weird.
They didn't see that some small snakes fled to the big tree nearby, staring at the petite figure among the tall crowd until the crowd disappeared, and then they spit out their tongues and headed towards another rarely visited direction.
.......
There is actually a natural cave under the Xuanmang clan, which connects to all the snake caves on the mountain. It is now occupied by a group of outsiders.
The haggard woman was dragging her injured body and pinching a small snake, her bloodshot eyes flashing with crazy murderous intent.
"Here they come. Really here." The woman laughed crazily, commanding the men in front of her who were crawling on the ground in fear. "Xuan Heng is so cold and heartless, and we still have to hide underground and survive. I order you to kill him! No, kill that woman named Lan Ning!"
If it weren't for her appearance, how could their Xuanmang clan end up like this?
Being forced to this point by her own child, is there anyone in Wanjing more ridiculous than her Xuanmang clan?
"But Princess Lan Ning is surrounded by many experts..." Even now, these small fry were caught by those people before they could get close.
It is better to escape now, so that you will never have to worry about having firewood!
But they are just slaves who submit to their wives and cannot decide their own future. Moreover, they were involved in all the things that happened in the past. Even if they escape now, they will not survive if they are discovered by Xuan Heng.
The wife in front of them could not tolerate betrayal, and Xuan Heng would not do that either.
If they could kill Lan Ning directly, her husbands who had signed contracts with her would also be seriously injured. At that time... as long as the future empress is not Lan Ning, they will have a chance to turn things around again.
"This is the Black Python Clan, our territory." The woman smiled sinisterly, "No one knows this place better than us, of course, Xuan Heng doesn't know either."
She pointed to a certain place in the cave with a trembling hand, "Xuan Heng has blocked all the roads underground, but I know there is another way. Xuan Heng will definitely take Lan Ning to live in the most luxurious place in the entire Xuanmang clan."
So, they would definitely see Lanning there.
You can also kill Lanning from there.
"Yes."
They naturally couldn't stop this from happening, so they might as well fight to the death and live upright on the ground.
-
Lan Ning had no idea that danger was approaching quietly. Under Xuan Heng's guidance, she toured the Xuan Python tribe from top to bottom, but did not find the snake caves that Zhenzhu and the others had mentioned.
It is said that the place where the Black Python Clan lives is very cold and there are no beautiful plants, but what Lan Ning saw were lush flowers and leaves.
Especially those purple cherry blossoms, which are so beautiful.
"It's really beautiful." Lan Ning couldn't help but think of the sea of flowers in Fusang City. "It's just like the sea of flowers in Fusang City."
Xuan Heng smiled and said, "As long as you like it."
He didn't think those material possessions were very beautiful, but he always felt that the Xuanmang Clan was empty and gloomy. He remembered that he had decorated the Tinglan Palace for Lan Ning, and Lan Ning was happy when he saw those rare flowers.
So I thought about decorating this place as well.
They will not stay in the Xuanmang tribe for a long time, but after all the mess is over, they can come back and stay for a while. At that time, no one will come to disturb them too much, only him and Lan Ning.
When he sat in the main hall, he saw the 'few' members of the Black Python tribe in front of him.
Lan Ning pursed her lips. She couldn't help but frowned and looked at Xuan Heng innocently, "Is that all?"
Excluding those who followed Xuan Heng to Wanjing, there are only more than a hundred people of the Xuanmang clan living on this mountain now.
This was the first time she saw so few orcs.
"Yeah." Xuan Heng nodded. A tribe doesn't need too many people. They are all loyal to Wan Jing anyway. It doesn't matter how many people there are in the tribe. The most important thing is whether they can bring strength to Wan Jing.
There weren't many people in their Xuanmang tribe to begin with, and after a major cleanup, they became even more depressed.
Even those who are still alive now, after seeing Xuan Heng's coldness and ruthlessness, tremble in fear when facing him, kneeling on the ground and not daring to raise their heads.
"Everyone go down." Xuan Heng glanced at those who didn't dare to look up. He had reason to be afraid, but he couldn't show it too much in front of Lan Ning.
Lan Ning let out a breath of air only after the group of people who were trembling with fear had left. Even now, she was still not used to someone kneeling in front of her and showing fear.
He stared at those panicked backs for a long time, until they disappeared into the night. The people behind him had noticed it early in the morning. Only when all the remaining people in the room were his own did he feel at ease to rub the kitten's head.
"We haven't seen each other for a while, why don't you look at me more?" Xuan Heng's tone was full of jealousy, "Are those snakes so good-looking?"
He specifically asked people to find some people who were not so good-looking.
Lan Ning paused, then she came to her senses and said, "No, I just feel that there are not enough people."
few?
Xuan Heng raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that there were too many people here.
However, holding Lan Ning's small waist and gently kneading her belly with his big hands, Leng Jun's face was filled with a gentle smile, "Why don't we have more children?"
It was inconvenient to take the child out, so the little guy was left in the palace and taken care of by Bian Zhao and others. Thinking that these few days were the day for the baby to hatch, Lan Ning felt a little regretful that he could not be seen by the child for the first time.
But compared to the time when she almost lost her life during childbirth, Lan Ning felt that she could still endure it.
"Let's go." Xuan Heng picked up Lan Ning and walked towards the bedroom, leaving the three people staring at that direction with wide eyes, not daring to chase.
