Chapter 105: Mu Niang Provincial Relatives (Second Year of High School)
The area of Langsha City is as much as three times that of Xuanyan City, and if you want to compare, it is almost the same size as the capital of the Celestial Dynasty (excluding the counties) in Xu Mu's previous life, so even if you enter the city, Qin Shuangtong still needs to walk a short distance.
The main reason why she is so anxious is because as a bustling city with a large flow of people, even if it has Highway 56, which is 50 meters wide and connects the north and south gates, it will inevitably cause traffic congestion. If you want to pass through quickly and unimpeded, you must use the martial arts privilege.
In order to ensure the speed of the city's government decrees, military intelligence transmission, and law enforcement officers, all major roads in the city have special emergency passages for warriors, which are similar to the bus lanes of Xu Mu's previous life, which are mainly used by the imperial authorities in normal times, and if unofficial warriors want to take this route, they can only do so during the morning and evening rush hours - yes, 7 a.m. - 9 a.m. and 17 p.m. - 19 p.m.
It was already around half past eight, and there was still half an hour before Qin Shuangtong would temporarily lose her privilege of passage, and she didn't want to risk being chased by the law enforcement team and jump off the roof of the house - of course, it was even more impossible to obediently join the ranks of the traffic jam army.
"Yo! Isn't this the little frost pupil? It's so early to come back this year!"
"Miss Frost Pupil, long time no see~!"
"Hey~!Miss Frost Pupil!Auntie, there's a new style of white dress here~!I'm free to come in and have a look!
It's a pity that reality often doesn't go in the desired direction, and many times the more anxious you are, the more there are all kinds of situations that hold you back. As soon as Qin Shuangtong entered the city, she was discovered by the people around her, and they stopped to greet her warmly, many of them were acquaintances, and she couldn't answer if she wanted to.
"Uncles and aunts, I'm very sorry, I have something urgent today, and I'll catch up with you later!" Qin Shuangtong was helpless, so he had to hug his fist towards everyone, and then he stopped entanglement with passers-by and galloped along the main road.
......
Using the emergency channel, Qin Shuangtong only took more than ten minutes to reach his destination. It is a five-story tall building (although the population of this world is large, but the land area is larger, in general, it is still vast and sparsely populated, and it is generally rare to build high-rises, so the five-story building is already a high-rise building), covering an extremely wide area, the gray-black wall is majestic, and the front gate has three big characters - "City Lord's Mansion".
That's right, she didn't rush home, but chose to come to the City Lord's Mansion first.
"Stop coming!" the two guards at the gate faithfully performed their duties, "This is the City Lord's Mansion, and the idlers are waiting to leave quickly! Miss Frost Pupil?"
As the guards of the City Lord's Mansion, they naturally knew this girl who had a deep relationship with the City Lord's Mansion, so after finding out that the person who came was Qin Shuangtong, the two of them decisively put away their fierce professional expressions.
"Are you here to find the Castle Lord?"
"Yes, I have something I want to see Senior Brother," Qin Shuangtong nodded, "I'm tired of the two eldest brothers." ”
"Okay, Miss Frost Pupil, of course you're fine, please wait. One of the guards rang twice on the doorbell-like device at the gate, then said something more, and in a few moments the door was open.
"Miss Frost Hitomi, please come in, the lord of the castle is waiting for you in the office. ”
"Thank you. Qin Shuangtong thanked him and walked in.
Passing through several corridors with ease, Qin Shuangtong finally met the city lord of Langsha City, Xiao Yan, just like the last time he saw him, the other party did not change much, the slightly emaciated body was still stiff and straight, but a few gray hairs were added to the temples, showing the hard work of a city lord.
"Yo~, what a rare guest, why did Senior Sister Frost Pupil have time to come to me today?" Seeing Qin Shuangtong, Xiao Yan stood up from his seat with a smile, "Come~!Let Senior Brother I open my eyes wide and see, is my little junior sister becoming beautiful again~!" As he spoke, he deliberately opened his eyelids with both hands to make his eyes look very big.
"Poof!" Qin Shuangtong was instantly amused, but soon, her face flushed, "Senior brother, you made fun of me again about what happened when I was a child, now that I'm grown up, don't mention it again!" When Xiao Yan apprenticed, Qin Shuangtong was only 4 years old, and when she saw that Xiao Yan's eyes were relatively small, she called him "Senior Brother with Small Eyes" , and the latter also gladly accepted, in the days that followed, he often did this action to make Qin Shuangtong happy, although as he grew older, Qin Shuangtong gradually stopped using that title, but this habit was retained, and it became a beautiful way to get along with senior brothers and sisters - of course, Qin Shuangtong was more and more shy about this.
"Haha, okay, okay, don't mention it, don't mention it, then..."Xiao Yan laughed a few times, and then became serious, "You must have something important to come to me, right?
"No, it's Dad's side..."Qin Shuangtong's face also sank, she didn't go around in circles, and straightforwardly said to Yu Youming about her father's poisoning, "So, I want to use the military communication array to contact my father." ”
Military communication arrays are generally set up in the city lord's mansion in major cities (non-city defense armies are equipped with a small movable communication array for each legion, which is controlled by the corps leader), and it can be used by major cities and other field legions in the empire to transmit information at any time, but because each use requires a large number of star source stones, and at least one silver-level powerhouse needs to be opened (which is also one of the reasons why the city lord must at least reach the silver level), so there is no emergency, and it is generally forbidden to use it.
Qin Shuangtong's father, Qin Mushen, is a senior general of the empire, and he is also the commander of the war zone, his physical condition is indeed good enough to use the level of the communication array, but, in the final analysis, this is also a personal private matter, in this case, even if the city lord refuses to summon the summons, it is understandable, so Qin Shuangtong gave up going to see the city lord of Xuanyan City, but chose to turn to his senior brother for help, and only with this level of relationship can he ensure that he can contact his father.
"I understand! Let's go! I'll open the communication array and contact the master!" Sure enough, hearing that the teacher was in danger, Xiao Yan agreed without hesitation.
The two of them quickly came to the basement floor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a 5-meter-high and 7-meter-wide iron door - this was the room where the communication array was placed.
Xiao Yan didn't say much, he put the palm of his right hand into a groove on the door, and with a slight input of star power, the door opened with a bang.
"It's so big..." It was the first time Qin Shuangtong saw the appearance of the communication array, only to see that in the empty hall, there was a huge diamond-shaped spar erected, there was no support around it, but it was floating in the air out of thin air, and on the surrounding ground, it was full of silver symbols of unknown meaning, they formed a large circle with a radius of 10 meters, encircling the spar in the center, and at the edge of the circle, there were two silver straight lines extending at an angle of 180 degrees, one end was connected to a stone platform, and the other end was connected to a small circle also composed of symbols, she understood that if she wanted to arrange such a magic circle, it had to be a golden powerhouse。
"Okay, junior sister, I'll activate the circle, and you can do the communication—just stand in the small circle opposite the console," he said, pointing to the other side.
"Okay senior brother," Qin Shuangtong took his place as he said.
"Drink!" Xiao Yan walked to the console and embedded his right hand in the groove again, but this time, he used the star power of his whole body, and the silver-white star power continued to pour into the groove, and in an instant, the entire magic circle lit up - first the symbol on the ground, and finally the huge spar in the center, which gradually began to emit a silver-white brilliance, and at the same time, a hole was opened in the vertical position of the huge spar on the roof, and the star source stone was continuously scattered from it, absorbed by the huge spar below.
"Connect the 386th Legion of the Empire!" Xiao Yan shouted loudly when the circle was fully opened.
"Hum-" The hedron began to flicker continuously, and after about a dozen breaths, Qin Shuangtong's mind heard a voice coming over.
"This is the 386th Legion of the Empire, Langsha City, please speak!"
Qin Shuangtong was overjoyed in his heart, nodded at Xiao Yan, and then concentrated his mind and replied using the method of sound transmission - although the skill of star power transmission can only be learned on the eve of graduation, but Qin Shuangtong, whose parents are both masters, obviously does not need to rely on the academy professor.
"This is Langsha City, I am Qin Shuangtong, the second daughter of General Qin Mushen, please tell my father..." Qin Shuangtong understood that it was not his father who was talking to him now by identifying the other party's voice, and it was estimated that his father was fighting outside, so he handed over the communication array to the deputy head of the regiment for safekeeping, so she explained the situation concisely, hoping that the other party would tell him on her behalf.
Miscellaneous... Listening to Qin Shuangtong's narration, Zhang Dabiao, the deputy commander of the 386 Legion, was surprised and couldn't close his mouth, someone actually ate the ambitious leopard and dared to poison the regiment commander? He felt a tremor in his heart.
"Second battalion commander!" he shouted outside the tent with his star power.
"Here!" a mid-ranking officer ran in and saluted him.
"Where's your fucking winged robe, put it on Lao Tzu!" Zhang Dabiao's mind moved, and a small spar popped out from the central spar of the small communication array, and he grabbed the spar with the content of the communication of the party, and then quickly stuffed it to the second battalion commander, "Emergency military situation! Be sure to send it to the regiment commander as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" the latter received the military order, and immediately rushed out like the wind.
"Xiao Shuangtong, don't worry, I have already asked the second battalion commander to send this news out just now! Regiment Commander, he will be fine!" After making a resolute decision, he continued to talk to Qin Shuangtong.
"Well, thank you Uncle Zhang!" Qin Shuangtong, who got the reply, finally breathed a sigh of relief, she had heard her father say that the second battalion commander under him had a magical winged big thunderbolt robe, which was said to have been handed down by his ancestors, and after wearing it, he could turn into wings, so that people could get a thunderbolt-like running speed, which was not much better than that of a silver sixth-order powerhouse, and it was foolproof for him to send the letter, not to mention, he did not send the second stinky tofu of the synthetic poison, and the chance of his father having an accident was almost none.
"Yes, is there anything else?"
"No!" Qin Shuangtong knew that the communication array consumed a huge amount of money—it could be seen from the Star Source Stones that were still gushing out from the rooftop, and now that the matter was done, she didn't want to waste any more resources.
"Okay, then the communication is complete!"
"Done!" Qin Shuangtong made a gesture to Xiao Yan, who understood, stopped the star power output, the hole in the ceiling closed, and the communication array slowly fell silent.
"Whew-" Xiao Yan wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, the consumption just now was really not small for him who only had a silver second order.
"Thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother!" Qin Shuangtong walked over and said with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay! Be polite with me!" Xiao Yan waved his hand, "By the way, what is that Yu Youming..." he squinted, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
"Senior brother, rest assured, he has received the retribution he deserves. Qin Shuangtong gave the senior brother a reassuring look, she didn't want the other party to be too distracted for her own private affairs, and he also believed that Xu Mu would definitely be able to solve that scumbag - although this junior brother was funny, he would never lie to himself.
"Then senior brother, I won't bother you. ”
"Why? It's hard to see each other, are you in a hurry to leave?"
"Hehe, don't hide it from Senior Brother, I just came back from the academy and haven't seen my mother yet, so..."
"I see..."Xiao Yan suddenly said, "Since this is the case, then I won't keep you, go back and say hello to my wife for me!"
"Hmm!" Qin Shuangtong nodded, "Senior brother, goodbye!"
