Chapter 14: Arrival at the Imperial City
The setting sun casts golden light on the earth, and the whole forest is covered with a golden veil like cicada wings, and the mysterious earth and the red hanging in the sky reflect each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The cold night sitting cross-legged on the ground looked at the lifeless beast in the distance, and couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity, but there was still a trace of fear in my heart. I couldn't help but recall the fight just now in my mind, and muttered to myself
"Now it seems that the outside world is not as simple as I thought. If you want to survive, it seems that the only way to improve your strength is to work hard. ”
After that, seeing that it was getting late, if you continued to hurry, there would be unknown dangers, not to mention that after a big battle, you would have already collapsed. Thinking of this, Leng Ye stood up from the ground, then found a big tree around, and sat cross-legged to recover his sword intent. At the same time, a trace of consciousness is released as a warning.
On the top of the tree, the cold night is silently reciting the nameless mantra while still deeply contemplating. After three hours, his closed eyes suddenly opened, and the light in his eyes flashed away!
Immediately afterwards, Leng Ye was pleasantly surprised to find that his sword intent had actually increased a little, although it was not much, but it was also significantly enhanced!
"The strength level in the Jianghu martial arts is divided into one to nine levels, how many steps do I count now? The master once said that those who cultivate the nameless sword technique cannot use the strength in the rivers and lakes to divide the ranks, because those so-called sword masters who have cultivated sword intent in the rivers and lakes are at least an eighth-order peerless master! However, these people are as vulnerable as paper tigers in his hands! Then am I now considered an eighth-order peerless master? Leng Ye couldn't help but think in his heart......
After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think much about it, and restrained his whole body breath in case he was discovered by other strange beasts at that time, and then rested on the trunk of the tree in the cold night to spend the night.
Early the next morning, the sky was just slightly bright, and Leng Ye was woken up by a few roars, and Leng Ye, who woke up, didn't say a word, put on his long sword on his back and quickly left this place.
As Cold Night kept running through the jungle, he looked behind him from time to time, until the roar disappeared, and Cold Night gradually slowed down.
At this moment, there was a sound of "grunt...". Hearing the scream of his stomach, Leng Ye smiled awkwardly, and then looked around to see if there were any edible wild fruits around. But after walking for several miles, not to mention wild fruits, I didn't even encounter wild meat.
"Help..."
Just when the cold night was full of complaints, a voice came from a distance. Hearing the cries for help in the distance, Leng Ye hurriedly heard the sound and left.
"Xiao'er, you run..."
On the other side of the jungle, at this time, a middle-aged man used the hunting gear in his hand to block the beast in front of him, and at the same time shouted loudly to a young boy with a delicate face, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
At this time, the little boy called Xiao Er was covered in blood, and I saw that the clothes on his back had been torn, revealing a few bloody scratches, and he stood trembling not far from the middle-aged man with a painful expression.
"But Father..."
"Hurry up and get out of the way, do you want both of us to die here, what will your mother do then?"
Originally, Xiao Er wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the angry roar of his father's middle-aged man.
"Mother..."
Hearing her father's mention of her mother at home, Xiao Er couldn't help but think of her frail and sick mother at home, and let out a sad cry. Although his father was angry with him, Xiao Er knew that his father wanted to fight for his life for himself.
"Father, you protect..."
After some inner struggle, Xiao Er reluctantly looked at his father who was about to hold on to say goodbye, but before he could speak, a figure appeared beside his father.
I saw that the person who came didn't say a word, lifted the four-foot long sword in his hand, and slashed down at the beast. Then Xiao Er heard a "poof" sound, and then the beast fell to the ground, lifeless.
It all happened so fast that Xiao Er opened her mouth. Although his father was also stunned, he quickly realized that he was saved by the young man in front of him. I wanted to tidy up my clothes, but when I looked down, I saw that the clothes on my body were in tatters. Pulling the tattered clothes on his body, he hugged his fists and thanked the young man in front of him
"Thank you Shaoxia for saving your life!"
The young man who was putting the long sword behind his back heard the voice behind him, and then turned around and said with a humble smile
"Out of the way"
With that, the boy turned and prepared to leave.
"Benefactor..."
Seeing that the young man turned around and left, the middle-aged man hurriedly ran in front of the young man to block the road and shouted.
"Uncle, I don't know what else is going on?"
Looking at the middle-aged man standing in front of him, the young man was slightly stunned and asked for some reason.
"Xiao'er, come here..."
The middle-aged man did not answer the young man's words, but called out to his little boy not far away. The little boy in the distance heard the middle-aged man's shout, endured the pain in his body, and grinned and walked towards the middle-aged man.
"Father"
Coming to the middle-aged man's side, the little boy called Xiao Er called in a low voice.
"You kid, haven't you thanked your benefactor for saving your life?"
The middle-aged man did not answer his son, but said to him a little angrily.
Hearing her father's words, Xiao Er was slightly stunned, thinking to herself if her father needed to be so angry? But I couldn't say anything, so I had to say thank you to the young man
"Thank you for saving us, I..."
"Hehe... Don't be so polite. ”
Before Xiao Er could finish speaking, the boy raised his hand to stop him from continuing, and then without waiting for them to answer, he turned around and wanted to leave.
"Benefactor, may I ask if I can leave my name..."
Hearing the sound of inquiry behind him, the boy paused, then unfolded his body and gradually disappeared into the jungle. Just when the middle man and Xiao Er's eyes were relatively unclear, a voice came from the air
"It's a cold night, boy, the two of you better leave here as soon as possible..."
Hearing the sound in the air, the middle-aged man shook his head slightly, and then walked out of the jungle with his son in his arms!
The Imperial City, the capital of Tengyun Kingdom, is definitely a prosperous place, and it is not like other big cities here! After all, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, does anyone dare to make a mistake at the feet of the Son of Heaven?
But it's also a place where the real big forces and big families gather. Not only that, but even many martial arts masters in the rivers and lakes often haunt here. Because of this prosperity, whether it is to inquire about news or to play, the imperial city is a wonderful place!
At the gate of the imperial city, there was an endless stream of people queuing up to enter the city, including ordinary people, wealthy and noble, as well as city officials or foreign officials. There is another passage on the side of the city gate, called "Official Road", which means, this road can only be walked by officials, let you have thousands of waists, and you can only queue up to enter the city like ordinary people!
In the long queue, there was a teenager who caught the eye! The young man looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a white robe, carrying a long sword behind his back, and his long black hair was scattered behind him, but his handsome appearance made people dare not look directly because of a pair of sharp eyes! This person is the cold night that has just crossed out of the deep mountains and old forests!
Although Leng Ye is now fourteen years old, he has never seen such a big scene, so he can't help but feel a little nervous. In addition, so many people were looking at him, and he didn't notice that most of them were ordinary people, and they were all trembling when they were swept away by his sharp gaze. At the same time, it can also be seen that although Leng Ye has a high kendo attainment, he has forgotten to restrain himself because he has not been in the world, and he is nervous for a while.
After a while, when it was his turn to enter the city at night, the guards at the city gate checked it slightly and let him enter the city, after all, this is an important place in the imperial city, and no one dares to mix in and make trouble!
Although people in the rivers and lakes often gather here, there has never been a fierce conflict here, after all, the royal family is powerful here, and everyone is very jealous! There are countless royal masters, after all, even the rumored sword tyrant Qian Luya in the rivers and lakes is the prince of the royal dynasty! Not only that, but the royal family has a secret "Star Emperor Formula", so there are very few ignorant people in the rivers and lakes to make this tiger whiskers.
