Beicheng, the full name of the city of the North Heaven, is located in the north of the eastern part of the Cold Moon Empire, with a radius of more than 2,000 miles, and the land is dotted with various minerals, especially the content of iron ore accounts for more than 60% of the total iron ore reserves of the Cold Moon Empire, and it is a veritable iron ore capital. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There are many skilled craftsmen in the northern city, the most famous is the smelting master of Jutian Yezi in the city, and it is rumored that the Qingfeng Sword used by Jiang Hao, one of the top ten masters of the Cold Moon Empire, was made by Tianyezi.

Ye Yun and Nafu Yichuan drove for two days to come to the west gate of Beicheng, originally calculated according to the speed of the horse, it was at most a day's journey, but Ye Yun didn't expect that the soldier didn't know horse skills, and often fell off the horse, if it wasn't for Ye Yun secretly helping him, I'm afraid it would take twice as long.

Ye Yun raised his eyes and looked.

The gates of the northern city are not very wide, the moat is quite shallow, and there are even some signs of drying up, and it seems that peace has been going on for some time.

The dull sound of carts sounded, and Ye Yun saw that it was some workers transporting mines.

Most of them were dark-skinned, their clothes were tattered, and they struggled to push the old high minecarts, sweating step by step, moving towards the city.

Fu Yichuan pointed at them and said, "These are the miners of Shilu Iron Mine, and it is the hardest work to transport iron ore from Shilu to the city. ”

Ye Yun nodded, showing a sympathetic expression.

After the minecart, some fair-skinned girls passed by with a smile, Fu Yichuan's eyes were immediately attracted, and he didn't reluctantly turn around until he couldn't see anyone, and said, "Brother Ye, you wait for me at the inn in front, I want to rush back to the barracks to report to the captain first." Because the barracks are important, not everyone can go there. ”

He thought that Ye Yun was just an ordinary fisherman, he was young, and Ye Yun was humble, this guy actually forgot the extraordinary skills that Ye Yun had shown before, and blindly only thought that he could be promoted and make a fortune after handing over the core of the earth, and his tone became a little old-fashioned.

Ye Yun naturally didn't bother to bother with him, and felt sad for him in his heart, if he really took the core of the earth to deal with him like this, he didn't know if he would have his life back.

It doesn't really matter if he has a life or not, but now it's up to him whether he can get along well, and he can't die now.

stopped him at the moment and reminded: "Rich brother, how do you report it?" If the whole army is wiped out, how will the captain react? ”

Fu Yichuan thought for a while, showed a frightened look, and said: "Lord Lieutenant will definitely be furious, and he will beat my military stick at the least, and expel me from the barracks at the worst." ”

But then he showed an excited look: "However, this time I brought back the core of the earth, Lord Captain will definitely look at me differently, and after he reports to the City Lord, I can ...... Hehe, don't worry, Brother Ye, I won't forget you when the time comes. ”

His saliva was about to flow out, Ye Yun really couldn't see it, and poured cold water on him: "Since the deputy lieutenant Zhu has been wiped out, why does he give you the credit for a nameless soldier or a dead person?" I'm afraid you won't be able to wait until then, and you'll die. ”

"Ahh How did I not think of that? Captain Song is famously ruthless and recognizable, maybe he will really kill me, and then take the core of the earth for himself, saying that he called me! ”

Fu Yichuan's illusions were shattered, he was shocked, and he wanted to grab Ye Yun's hand again: "Brother Ye, you are so smart, you can teach me what to do?" ”

Ye Yun hurriedly shrank away, and was about to answer, when a loud voice suddenly came into his ears: "This is my brother's war horse!" Why are you here? ”

Ye Yun was stunned.

A group of more than a dozen men dressed in strong suits and carrying swords walked briskly, one of them wearing a high crown on his head, and his costume was particularly gorgeous, which was very different from the rough clothes of ordinary people on the street.

By the time he reacted, the two were already surrounded.

Ye Yun asked in a low voice, "Who are they?" ”

Fu Yichuan showed a look of fear, and said in a trembling voice: "They are all from the City Lord's Mansion, and the one who takes the lead is our eldest brother Zhu Deputy Lieutenant, the City Lord's cronies, Zhu Mingye." This time it was too bad, I knew it would be like this, so we didn't ride horses and walked back......"

Ye Yun looked at that Zhu Mingye, and saw that his appearance was somewhat similar to that of the sturdy man who was killed by himself, his figure was taller than him, and his feet were steady, his eyes were sharp, although he was bare-handed, there was a faint strong momentum rushing towards him, and he was obviously also a martial artist.

Zhu Mingye forced Fu Yichuan to look at him, and after seeing his leather frame clearly, he asked, "You are a soldier in the barracks?" ”

At this time, the pedestrians on the street noticed that something had happened here, and gathered around to see the excitement, which was even more annoying, and even those black miners stopped what they were doing, stood aside, and pointed at Ye Yun and Fu Yichuan, with a sympathetic look in their eyes.

Fu Yichuan was so frightened that he trembled: "Small, villain rich, Fu Yichuan, is a soldier under Captain Zhu." ”

That Zhu Mingye asked again, "My brother's subordinates?" Didn't he go to Longyin Peak on the order of the city lord four days ago to search for the whereabouts of the mountain stone people? Why is his horse here? I remember very well that he was riding this rouge horse at that time! ”

"This, this ......"

Fu Yichuan didn't dare to say it, and peeked at Ye Yun.

Ye Yun scolded him in his heart for being useless, and he couldn't even say "Your family is dead". took a step forward and said to the man in fancy clothes: "Captain Zhu Bing discovered the whereabouts of the mountain stone man, but he didn't want to be hit by the mountain stone man's stone rain in the battle with the mountain stone man, and unfortunately died heroically. ”

"What?" Zhu Mingye's body shook and shouted angrily: "How is it possible? The city lord sent him to find out the whereabouts of the stone man, not to kill it! How could it be sacrificed? Also, who are you? Why forge these lies! Recruit from the truth, or I will put you to death!" ”

Ye Yun has been noble for half his life, so he has ever been so angry? But after a few months of baptism of suffering, he has matured a lot, and is no longer as willful as before, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "The villain is a fisherman from the purple sea, two days ago he went up the mountain to collect firewood, who expected to meet Zhu Bingwei and his subordinates fighting with a huge stone man, and finally, the stone man threw out a thousand catties of boulder and smashed Zhu Bingwei ......"

"Say no more! Come on, take them down! Send it to the city lord's mansion, and I'll check it out again! ”

When Zhu Mingye heard the news of his brother's death, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, and when he interrupted Ye Yun's words, with a wave of his hand, more than a dozen of his subordinates pounced like wolves.

Fu Yichuan tilted his head and fainted in fright.

Ye Yun didn't bother to struggle, let them catch it.

"Look at what? Is it long? Disperse! Zhu Mingye was obviously very angry, and he tried his best to push the civilians who were watching, and two of them were piled to the ground by him, but he didn't dare to say more, so he got up and fled.

"Go back!"

"Yes, Zhu Ye."

Several healthy servants pressed Ye Yun, dragged Fu Yichuan, and followed the man in fancy clothes Zhu Ming through the streets and alleys at night, causing countless people to look back along the way, and Ye Yun heard them whispering.

"I heard that Zhu Renskin is dead? Are you sure? ”

"That's great!"

"God opens my eyes......"

Hearing this, Zhu Mingye's face became even more ugly, and the group of subordinates pushed and kicked again, urging Ye Yun to speed up his pace and walk towards the center of the city.

Ye Yun secretly lucked, used Yanlong's true qi to protect his body, and secretly shouted, you guys just kick it, kick it, I won't let you stand up tomorrow!

Taking advantage of people's inattention, he took back the core of the earth from Tomiichigawa's arms.

It's not that the core of the earth can't be handed over to ordinary officers, and the best thing is to hand it over directly to the city lord. This is the best bridge!

And this is a thrilling gamble, betting on how important the core of the earth is to the city lord.

A luxurious mansion appeared in front of Ye Yun's eyes.

The vermilion gate, the wide staircase, and the statue in front of the door all show the wealth and majesty of the owner's family.

The two family members walked over and asked curiously, "Didn't Zhu Ye go out?" Why did you come back so soon? That's a coincidence, the lord of the castle is looking for you. ”

"The lord of the castle is looking for me?"

"Yes, hey, why are your eyes red, is it that the wind is strong today, and the sand is blowing into your eyes? Do you want the villain to blow it for you? ”

"No, you don't! I'll go to the city lord first, and you will escort these two people into my room for me, and keep them under strict guard, and you must not let them escape!" Got it? ”

"Yes!"

The man in the costume stared at Ye Yun fiercely again, and strode into the door.

When the two family members saw that Ye Yun was dressed in tatters, they both showed a look of contempt, pushed and shoved them to a spacious and bright room, closed the door, and locked it.

Ye Yun looked at Fu Yichuan who fainted on the side, and shook his head helplessly, this kid is really lucky.

He looked up and saw that the house was very large, beautifully furnished, and very different from the fisherman's hut by the sea.

The architectural style is also quite new, and it seems that the times have really moved forward. Seeing that there were teacups and other things on the table, Ye Yun shook the kettle, there was tea, and simply poured himself a drink.

"Good tea." Ye Yungang put down the teacup in his hand and praised it, although most of the tea leaves are different after thousands of years, but this kind of fragrant tea that is slightly sweet and astringent, but also returns to the fragrant tooth nail, is certainly better than the tribute in the palace, but it is also of the highest quality, and what is even more rare is that after drinking this tea, there is a feeling of excitement and fluttering fairy.

His mind was nimble, too.

With Ye Yun's character, he naturally wouldn't pin his life on a small core that didn't know what the value was, and before they came, he should leave a way for himself to survive.

There was a slight sound of breathing outside the door, and it seemed that someone was guarding it.

When he came, he had observed the structure of the city lord's mansion, which was a kind of duplex building, with many buildings, and as long as he escaped from this room, he could rely on the cover of trees and buildings to escape.

He quietly opened a window.

Looking out the window at the verdant grass, he didn't want to jump out of here until the last step, after all, the days of fleeing were very uncomfortable.

The door creaked open.

Ye Yun secretly screamed, here!

Zhu Mingye and a middle-aged man in a purple robe with a face full of vicissitudes walked in.

Zhu Mingye's mood didn't seem to be very stable, and when he saw Ye Yunhe and Fu Yichuan lying on the ground, his eyes still shot a murderous gaze.

Although he is not as evil as Zhu Mingqi, he is scolded by the people of Beicheng, but he is very protective, and there is only one younger brother Zhu Mingqi, and now that he knows that he may be dead, he even hates the person with the news.

Ye Yun said in his heart, this person will definitely be his own trouble in the future, and it would be best if he had the opportunity to get rid of him, after all, his younger brother was killed by himself.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded: "Mingye, is the news they brought back?" What's the matter with that soldier? ”

Zhu Mingye snorted coldly, looked at Fu Yichuan with disdain, and said: "Back to the city lord, this is the soldier who came back on my brother's horse, this person is as timid as a mouse, his subordinates just asked him two words, he was actually frightened, and his subordinates guessed that he was likely to escape from the battle." ”

That person with a vicissitudes of life is the city lord of Beicheng?

Ye Yun glanced at it quietly, the purple robe showed his noble identity, but the vicissitudes of life on his body could easily make people mistake him for a dying old man.

What's even stranger is that the man was still holding a pot of purple flowers in his hand, and as he walked in, a faint fragrance of flowers spread.

The city lord frowned and said, "Oh." Is there such a cowardly person in the army? Didn't your brother pass the test when he chose his soldiers? ”

Zhu Ming is silent at night, what assessment, there is money to pass.

The city lord didn't ask, and looked at Ye Yun again, a pair of old eyes shone slightly, although this young man was shabby, his appearance was not too handsome, and he looked like an ordinary fisherman at a glance, but if he looked closely, his face was that kind of very attractive face, and it was very pleasing to the eye, I don't know if it was an illusion, the city lord actually thought of a very strange word from this young man - noble.

He looked at Ye Yun carefully and asked, "Who is this little brother?" ”

Before Zhu Mingye could answer, Ye Yun smiled slightly, stepped forward and said, "Lord Hui City, villain Ye Yun is a fisherman from the Purple Sea, and now lives on the Purple Sea Beach. ”

"Oh? Zihai Beach, I've been to this place, facing the sea, backed by Longyin Peak, it's a good place to go. Your name is Ye Yun, there are not many surnames, but it happens to be a small number of people with the surname Ye in Zihai. Not...... Why were you brought here with that soldier by the night? ”

The city lord's tone was gentle, but there was a faint sense of majesty, and his weathered and vicissitudes of life seemed to have infinite wisdom, which made people feel that once they lied, they couldn't deceive him.

Zhu Mingye seemed a little uncomfortable when he saw that the city lord was just asking an irrelevant fisherman, and said: "City lord, this fisherman who just happened to see my brother is irrelevant, it doesn't matter at all, let's hurry up and wake up that useless soldier and ask what is going on!" ”

The city lord gently sniffed the fragrance of the purple flower in his hand and said, "Yes, it's okay." Come, take this little fisherman's brother to the living room for tea. ”

"Yes, City Lord."

The two family members "invited" Ye Yun out.

Ye Yun immediately thought that they were afraid that they would confess with that coward, and he was amused, even if he really wanted to confess with others, he would not look for him.

He secretly touched the core of the earth, and it wouldn't be long before they would come looking for him.

Passing through the two cloisters, you entered a flower hall.

The flower hall is decorated with a cozy and tranquil atmosphere, and the surrounding area is also full of flowers, and the faint fragrance walks through the room. recalled that the city lord even held a pot of purple flowers in his hand, which showed that he was really a lover of flowers. It's just that I don't know why, Ye Yun always felt that there was something strange about that potted flower, especially those leaves, the leaf teeth were very sharp, like a knife edge.

A housekeeper sat down on a stool at the end of the flower hall, and he didn't know where he got a cup of cold tea, and said coldly: "Drink it!" ”

Ye Yun smiled and said, "This big brother, do you have anything to eat?" ”

The family was stunned, and Ye Yun said again: "The city lord asked me to drink tea so that I could sober up so that I could answer his question, but he didn't know that once I was hungry, my mind would be confused, so I am afraid that I would not be able to answer clearly, and I might blame the two of them at that time." ”

"What a hassle! Okay, wait a minute! Although the family looked helpless, the city lord did not say that he was a prisoner, and the city lord did not let people go to the flower hall easily, in case there was really something to blame himself, it would not be worth it, turned around and walked out, and soon sent some snacks.

Ye Yun was honest and unwelcome, he ate a lot, smelling the sweet smell that he had not seen for a long time, Ye Yun was like a world away, he secretly swore that one day, I, Ye Yun, would take back everything that belonged to me!

His eating appearance fell into the eyes of the two family members, which was really miserable.

Half a day later, Ye Yun was full of food and drink, wiped his mouth and asked, "Two big brothers, I don't know what the name of the city lord is?" Why do you always hold a pot of flowers? ”

Jia Ding snorted and ignored him.

"Alas, I didn't expect the dignified city lord to not even have a name."

"Who said the old man didn't have a name? The old man's surname is Lin, and his name is terrifying. You two are really ignorant, could it be that the old man has done something unseemly that makes you unable to even say the old man's name? ”

The city lord of Beicheng with a vicissitudes of life appeared in front of the flower hall.
