Chapter 55: A Hundred Miles of Dust
"What are you talking about, who are you Shen Lu?" Yiyi asked in disbelief, for fear that she had misheard.
Baili Yiming had a 'everyone understands' expression, and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, what are you pretending." Sister, I have a good relationship with my brother-in-law, don't be afraid that I will talk nonsense everywhere. β
Yiyi was still puzzled and asked, "Have you seen Shen Lu?"
Baili Yiming briefly described what happened to Shen Lu, and finally said: "Brother-in-law is very good to you, and I think he can take out a five-star heart card at a young age, as well as peak attributes, and the future is limitless." β
Yiyi rolled her eyes and said in her heart that you know a fart. Shen Lu's special existence is no longer a relationship with a future or a future.
It is no exaggeration to say that Shen Lu himself represents a future. The people who are supported by Shen Lu are the real ones with unlimited future.
But of course she wouldn't say this to her brother, but raised her eyebrows and sneered: "Heh, for the sake of a martial arts card, you sold your sister?"
"Why, isn't it reasonable for my brother-in-law to give a meeting gift to my brother-in-law. Baili Yiming said with a natural expression: "Sister, in fact, I have seen it all." When I said that my brother-in-law came to save you, the smile on your face was almost impossible to hide. Sister, we grew up together, and it's the first time I've seen you smile so sweetly. β
"You...... !" Although Yiyi was scolding, the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl slightly, and she was indescribably happy in her heart.
He really came! Originally, it was just a simple fantasy, but Dugu Yiyi really didn't expect Shen Lu to come immediately.
As for the messy things that Shen Lu said to Baili Yiming, Yiyi also guessed that Shen Lu was talking nonsense. Because it is really said that the two are masters and apprentices, Baili Yiming will definitely not believe it.
However, after a short surprise, what remained of Dugu Yiyi was horror. She stood up abruptly and asked Baili Yiming, "Master...... Shen Lu, he's already in Changge City?"
Baili Yiming calculated the time and said: "It should have arrived, if he doesn't get lost." β
"Oh no, if you let the second emperor brother get the news, he will definitely go to Shen Lu for trouble. The second emperor brother controls the military power, Shen Lu destroyed his armament, and the temper of the second emperor brother is ...... Oh my God, Yiming, go find Shen Lu, you must find him before the second emperor brother!"
Baili Yiming also sensed the seriousness of the situation and hurriedly rushed out of the door.
......
The priesthood guild of Changge City is located in the middle of the city, and it is also a lively place in the city.
Especially at this time, the hunting team was recruiting his subordinates, and many cultivators wanted to try their skills. As long as you can defeat the Wandering Cloud Beast, it is enough to make a name for yourself in this Long Song City, and the royal family also has rich rewards, which can be said to be a beautiful difference in fame and fortune.
Xu Wenrui sat on a Taishi chair in the courtyard with a loveless expression, looking at the cultivators who came to apply one by one with a dull gaze.
"What kind of cultivation?" Xu Wenrui asked the applicant in front of him mechanically.
"Zhou Yingjing is heavy. β
"Unqualified, next. What kind of cultivation is it?"
"Zhou Yingjing is fourfold. Shen Lu replied.
"Barely make do...... Ah, you're here!"
Xu Wenrui wanted to subconsciously refuse, but the voice was extremely familiar, and when she looked up, she found that it was Shen Lu, as if she had regained her vitality.
She came to Shen Lu in three or two steps, and wanted to say something with a smile, but she suddenly remembered something wronged, and said with a slight cry: "My father ...... him."
Shen Lu was stunned and said, "What's wrong with him?"
"He's lost weight. β
Shen Lu almost thought that Xu Wenrui's father had been killed in order to intercede for himself. Now it seems that things are far from that irreparable situation.
Xu Wenrui retracted her voice, used her mana to transmit the voice to Shen Lu's ears, and continued: "I used the four-star priesthood card you gave me to temporarily save my father's life. But he was under house arrest in the palace and still couldn't get out. I had no choice but to agree to come to this hunting party. β
Shen Lu was puzzled: "Although your cultivation is very high, it shouldn't be the highest in Changge City, why do you want to go?"
"Because Coco is the only alien beast that can compete with the Cloud Wanderer in terms of size, the hunt will be much easier with its help. β
Shen Lu nodded suddenly, and secretly made trouble for a long time, it turned out that what they wanted most was actually Cocoa.
There were still many cultivators gathered in the courtyard who had come to apply, but at this time, I saw that the examiner Xu Wenrui and a man began to chat, which of course caused a burst of dissatisfaction.
"I don't choose anyone yet, hurry up and the next one. β
"Choose a hunter or a husband, the handsome one has the privilege?"
"It's really unreliable to leave the hunting party formed by the royal family to a little girl to manage. β
Listening to a bunch of gossip, Xu Wenrui immediately turned around and scolded: "I'm annoyed like a bunch of flies, shut up for me, and call all of them unqualified!"
But they have long been dissatisfied with Xu Wenrui, and these words have aroused resentment even more, and the opposition has become stronger.
"Whew!"
Coco burst out of Xu Wenrui's arms, screamed in the clearing, and changed into the appearance of a black leopard, surging mana shook all around, instantly suppressing all the voices present.
"I said, if you call it again, it's all unqualified, now it's all out of me!"
With Xu Wenrui's order, Coco showed her sharp fangs, and a primitive murderous aura belonging to the alien beast spread throughout the courtyard.
The people who stayed in the courtyard were out of breath as if they were pressed against a big mountain, and they fled one after another. In addition to Xu Wenrui and Shen Lu, there were only six or seven people left, who could still support themselves under the suppression of Coco's murderous aura.
Xu Wenrui pointed at a few of them, and then said: "You are qualified, go to the back to report, each person will receive fifty taels of gold, go to purchase some combat necessities tonight, and meet at the East City Gate in the early hours of tomorrow morning." β
With Xu Wenrui's instructions, those stronger people happily went to collect the money.
Shen Lu smiled and said, "There is such a convenient screening method, why don't you use it at the beginning?"
"If you're bored, choose slowly. But since you're here, there's no need to waste time with these people. β
The two were just about to go to the room to talk, but they heard a voice outside the guild courtyard shouting: "Thief Shen Lu, come out and die!"
When Shen Luzheng was puzzled, Xu Wenrui was stunned and said: "It's the second prince who is a hundred miles away!" This person is short-tempered, and he also controls most of the military power in the city, he is probably the person in the city who wants you to die the most." You hide in the guild first, and I'll keep an eye out there. The clerical guilds are neutral, and they do not dare to send troops in directly. β
As he spoke, he pulled Shen Lu and wanted to hide him first.
But Shen Lu shook his head and said, "If you keep hiding, you will only be passive all the time." I will always want to see the people of this city. And the person who wants to kill me the most is not necessarily the one outside. Don't worry, I'm measured. β
Xu Wenrui wanted to say something, but when she saw Shen Lu's confident appearance, she seemed to be infected by him. was originally full of worries, but now it has become full of pride.
"Okay, let's go out together. Now that I'm the leader of the hunting team, I don't believe that he dares to make any drastic moves. β
The two of them had stepped out of the guild gate with pride, but when they saw the black soldiers outside the door, they suddenly felt a lot weaker.
"In fact, sometimes running away is also a strategy. Shen Lu laughed dryly, almost wanting to return to the guild.
Xu Wenrui also said with a bitter face: "Otherwise, if you admit your guilt and fall into the law, think about it carefully, you were really too much at that time." β
It's not that the two of them suddenly became cowardly, it's that there are too many people outside the door, and there is no way not to be afraid.
Nearly three hundred lightly armed soldiers occupied the wide street in front of the guild gate, blocking the gate to the brim. These soldiers are definitely inferior to Bai Ling's guards in terms of individual combat effectiveness, but each of them has at least five basic cultivations in the Ming and Obscure Realm.
If it really got into a scuffle, Shen Lu was confident that he would be able to kill dozens of soldiers, but he would also die of exhaustion.
If you lose in momentum, you will lose most of it! Shen Lu immediately turned around and shouted, "Coco, come here!"
With this big guy standing behind, the momentum is also a little enough.
"Meow. β
Coco, who had turned back into a kitten, walked quickly to the door, glanced out of the door, and then ran back to the depths of the guild with a whoosh, and disappeared in an instant.
Shen Lu was dumbfounded, turned his head and asked Xu Wenrui, "Has it always been so timid? β
Xu Wenrui said with disgust: "Coco has been used to bullying the soft and afraid of the hard since he was a child, and he is very shameless." β
Coco couldn't count on it, so Shen Lu could only stand up and say, "Shen Lu is here." β
A tall man dressed as a general, dressed in silver-white armor and wearing a red cloak, stood at the front of the army. Seeing Shen Lu coming out, he immediately stepped out of the crowd, strode in front of Shen Lu, and stared at Shen Lu with a condescending momentum.
After Xu Wenrui on the side saw this person, there was an inexplicable resentment on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "Second prince, why do you have to do it so desperately. In the past, my father also had some friendship with you, although I don't expect you to help my father all the time, but it won't fall into the ground. β
"Don't get close to me, the daughter of a criminal is also a sinner! Lao Tzu hates the guilty the most, get out!"
Baili Jiechen was not affectionate at all, and scolded Xu Wenrui.
Xu Wenrui clenched her fists and held back the anger in her heart and said, "My father has not been convicted yet, how can you conclude that he is guilty?"
"Sooner or later, does it make a difference?"
"The eldest prince has already promised that as long as I hunt and kill the Wandering Cloud Beast, I will be able to exempt my father from all guilt and return him to freedom. You took my priesthood card, but you still want to kill my father, is it a bit too deceitful!"
Xu Wenrui said, her anger was gradually uncontrollable.
"If you had been working for me, I would have been able to save your father when I was in a good mood. But if you suddenly turn your head and ask my imperial brother for help, then I naturally can't let it go. Brother and I are brothers, how can I not take care of the people he wants to protect?"
When Baili Jiechen said the word "take care", he gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth, making it clear that he was planning to embarrass Xu Wenrui's father.
Seeing Xu Wenrui's extremely angry appearance, Shen Lu knew how she had been treated these days.
The two princes used Xu Wenrui's father as a bargaining chip and competed with each other. However, Xu Wenrui became a victim of their competition with each other, not only paying the price of the priesthood card, but also being forced to hunt the powerful Wandering Cloud Beast.
It turns out that my fiancΓ©e of Shen Lu was kicked like this by you, and she played so badly.
