"No, rest tonight. Yan Yan refused Dick's invitation, and Ling wondered, aren't you sleeping when you're such an old man?!

"Bet a little bigger today!" Dick shouted from afar, thinking that Ling had made less money last night.

"I won't go!" he turned to Norris and said, "Uncle, I'll go first." ”

He ran away, leaving Norris and Dick looking at each other, "That's fast." The two said in unison.

Seeing that Ling was reluctant to give in, Dick didn't chase him, he was a respected old man who wanted face.

Lying on the roof of the hotel, it was already late at night, the city lights were dim, the road downstairs was not as busy as the day, and the quiet stone road occasionally had one or two pedestrians hurriedly stepping over. There was no moon tonight, and after the fireworks had completely dispersed for the gala's celebrations, there were sporadic lights in the dark night sky, "like anglerfishers at the bottom of the sea." Ling suddenly began to miss the days under the sea, not the noisy and quiet days like now. With the last chirping of the autumn insects and the low barking of the house dog in the distance, Ling slowly fell asleep.

After the carnival, the city woke up later than usual, and the people who stayed up late were also depressed. When Ling went downstairs, several people in the peace caravan were eating breakfast and yawning incessantly.

"Someone brought in an invitation in the morning. Norris saw Ling come down and handed him something.

At the beginning, "Dear Ling ......" shook Ling's tiger body, and then wrote aimless words in the back, Ling looked at this invitation casually, there was no signature on the cover, and the words 'miss me' were written on the inside pages of the rules. Ling Hengzhu didn't want to eat salted fish with porridge, so he looked at it carefully for a long time before he could see the words in the cracks, and there were two words written all over the book that were 'playing chess'. You old man is still playing with hidden heads! Ling is convinced anyway.

After breakfast, Norris took his younger brothers to pick up the goods, he experienced an assassination last night, and finished talking about business, so it is only right to leave early. Anyway, being idle is idle, and Ling is going to go to the appointment.

The Scott City Branch of the Ash Combat Academy in the west of the city has always been the main source of students for the main college, and every few years there will be people like Lott coming from the main college to select outstanding students to study in the main college, at first the teachers of the branch were very unhappy, and they worked hard to plant peach trees and were picked peaches, and we still want to eat peaches! The branch dean patted his chest and said that it was his duty to provide a better educational environment for the future of the empire, and then he wished to pick once a year. The students were naturally happy, Scott City was big, but after all, it was only a border city, and of course the children of nobles like them had to go to the center of the empire to learn more advanced knowledge.

When he came to the gate of the college, the doorman was a middle-aged man with a disability, he only had one hand, and confirmed that this was an invitation from the superior leaders from the college, so he opened the door to let Ling in, and enthusiastically pointed out the way to Ling. As for how to confirm it? Hehe, I've been working here for many years, and I've seen this battle before.

As soon as he was about to leave, he heard a scream in the air, and the huge bird fell, leaving behind two young people who were supposed to be students of the academy.

"Tsk, it's you two again. The doorman touched the bird's head first, and then tied the two to a pillar next to them.

"You can't get out, how many times this semester?" the doorman sat down and spread out the newspaper.

Ling looked at the big bird and wanted to touch it, but the big bird looked at Ling and shivered. In order not to cause trouble to others, Ling still didn't stop. Not far away, you can vaguely hear something like "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi...... and "Don't bully young people into poor ......" and the like. It is true that who doesn't have a disgust with learning, Ling was hung and beaten by the patriarch at the beginning.

"If you skip class and don't study, you will be poor until you are old. The doorman taunted mercilessly.

When I came to the main building, I could see the two brothers Dick and Dill playing chess through the door, brushing their beards from time to time to look very kind, and their indifferent temperament amazed the students and teachers around them. Probably because the academy doesn't give gambling money. Ling thought, and it was.

Seeing Ling standing outside the door, he hurriedly beckoned him to come in and sit down, causing everyone to look sideways, although this young man was a little handsome, he didn't know what ability he could make the two professors favorable.

Ling was also polite, the two were halfway through the game, Dick handed Ling a cup of tea, and "accidentally" knocked down the projector on the chess surface, and the original good situation of Deere disappeared with the extinguishing of the projection.

"Brother, let's do it all over again. Dick felt no guilt.

"You!" Dill felt angry, but he still had to maintain his image, if it weren't for the admiration in the eyes of so many teachers and students next to him, he would have used his actions to tell Dick what it means to be an eldest brother like a father and what a father's love is like a mountain.

Dick's face did not change, and he asked pretendedly: "Little Brother Ling has come from afar to work hard, and I have a reluctant invitation to invite you this time." ”

"Uncle Dick just said that I could consider it within the principle. ”

Uncle...... Dick touched his beard, he didn't expect me to be so young in the eyes of Brother Ling!

In fact, Ling also has her own ideas, calling the old man seems rude, calling the grandfather himself and feeling at a loss, if he calls the uncle, it will become nothing, so he simply calls the uncle. Looking at Dick is also very satisfied, win-win.

"I'll tell you more when Lott comes out. ”

Co-author: You just saw that you were about to lose and deliberately pulled the topic, right?

Starting again, the three of them said that they had no match.

"Does Brother Ling know who sent the assassin last night?"

"I don't know, I'm not familiar with this. ”

"It's Will's guy. ”

"Isn't he going to rebel? Instead of winning people's hearts, he will do assassination?"

"Some people can't get it. ”

"Huh?" Could it be that Lord Scott is the biological brother of King Ike? Ling secretly guessed to herself.

"Rex and Ike went to school together when they were younger," Dick apparently didn't guess Ling was so out of the box, explaining, "We usually drink flower wine together." The old man blushed, and you asked Dick how he knew? Dick was next door when they were drinking flowers, and then he said, "After graduation, we spent a few years in the Army, and our love is stronger than gold." ”

Ling suddenly realized, no wonder Will couldn't fight for it. Having been in the same window, having prostituted people, carrying guns, and accounting for three of the four major irons in other people's lives, what do you fight for?

"Does Brother Ling have a favorite?" Dill interjected.

"Not yet. "Fate can't be forced.

"How old are you this year?"

"Ten...... Nine, well, nineteen. "It's not a big problem to say zero.

"I have a granddaughter who is seventeen years old and looks like a flower. Dill said with a smile, and Dick chimed in.

Oh, it's a drama that introduces the object, and Ling has seen it a lot in the novel.

"I'm going to get married, the other party is eighteen years old, tall, mighty and considerate, very compatible. Dill was smiling, and so was Dick.

As soon as the table was lifted, the stinky old man mocked me! The two old men immediately knelt down: "Heroes spare their lives!" Of course, this is a picture of Ling Brain. In reality, Ling squeezed out a smile: "Yes! Congratulations! Hehe......"

After a while, Lott came out, looking very busy. There is no nonsense when I see Ling.

"Our academy wants to hire you as a teacher. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it. ”

"This is a token, if you want, you can go directly to the imperial capital to join the company, of course, we can go together when we are busy. Lott handed over a piece of jade.

Then he hurried away.

"Aren't you going to help?"

"Lott can do it himself, we can't. ”

"Then what are you doing here?" Ling didn't bother to complain.

"It's like a paid vacation, and I don't want to go to class. Dick was honest.

“......”

After bidding farewell to the two brothers and returning to the hotel, the caravan was ready, and set off early the next morning. Ling didn't say much, Norris planned to go all the way west to the arid zone to the west to sell the amulets of Scott City, and Ling could just be separated from them in the next city.

As soon as the city gate was opened the next day, everyone lined up to go out, and the guards at the gate also tried their best to check, for fear of missing the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Out of Scott City to the west, it is not the territory of the Ash Empire, it has stepped into the territory of the Gundam Empire, Qiangxi City is considered the nail inserted into the Ash Empire by the Gundam Empire, but the nearly 100 years of peace and quiet are also getting along well, this is the victory of the Lord and the faction, the warlike generals are naturally dissatisfied, but the civilian officials are stuck with the rations, there is no military salary in the pocket to fight a guerrilla is OK, and it is a pipe dream to fight a city.

The further west you go, the drier the weather becomes, and the high mountains on the edge of the continent to the west block the humid sea breeze, and the east wind can't blow the city of Qiangxi, leaving behind thousands of miles of red land, and the yellow sand covers up to a third of the empire, and the rainy season is the only time there for farming, and when there is no rain, a group of people who have nothing to do are idle, and when they are idle, they begin to ponder life, and then they become sages. When I didn't have farm work to do, I discussed philosophy day and night, and because of the hot weather, I shaved my head, and it was easier to discuss it at night to save money for magic lamps. Over time, the Gundam Empire became the philosophical mecca of the continent of Terra.

Standing at the gate of Qiangxi City, the city walls at the strategic pass are always more atmospheric and majestic, and the soldiers defending the city are also full of energy, looking at everyone and asking, "Where are you from?"

Norris hurriedly handed over the trade license, and the trader wanted to prove that the whole society believed that the businessman would pursue profit, and if he pursued profit, he might do bad things! Therefore, he should register well and stipulate a good code of conduct, so that if he commits a crime, he will have a law to follow.

"We came from Scott City in the east, and we wanted to go to the west to sell for money. ”

After confirming that everything was correct, the guards let them go.

Condra slapped the pack horse's buttocks, "Master, let's go!"

It's the first time to come to Rose Tide City, if Scott City is luxurious, then Rose City is solemn, all the buildings are standing on both sides of the road in a regular manner, and there are flowers and tide flowers blooming on the side of the road, which is a flower that blooms all year round, and Rose City is also named after it.

In the hotel, everyone put down their luggage and ate the food of Qiangxi City.

"It feels like another world!" Norris leaned back in his chair, exclaiming as everyone sighed.
