Originally, Ling Ye planned to leave on his own when he arrived in Xiguan Town, but unfortunately the Yan family caravan would not let him get his wish.

"Ling Gongzi, although you saved our lives, but we also took you to Xiguan Town, if you enter the town together, it will be too conspicuous, so we have to part ways with Ling Gongzi, and ask Ling Gongzi for forgiveness. ”

Yan Hu said in a stiff tone, revealing undoubted meaning in his voice.

After a pause, Yan Hu took out a bulging leather bag from behind him, handed it to Ling Ye, and continued:

"Here are a hundred spirit stones, it is a little bit of the Yan family's heart, so I should thank Ling Gongzi for saving his life. ”

Ling Ye didn't take the leather bag, his pupils shrank, his eyes swept towards Yan Qing like electricity, and he said coldly:

"Miss Yan, that's what you mean?"

Yan Qing was looked at by Ling Ye's eyes, and lowered his head with an embarrassed expression, nodding for a while, shaking his head for a while, and still unable to make up his mind.

"Ling Gongzi, don't embarrass Miss, Miss is also thinking about the overall situation, so she can only draw a line with you, otherwise if the Jiang family blames the Yan family for this matter, the Yan family will be destroyed overnight. ”

Yan Hu saw that Yan Qing was in a dilemma, so he simply said for her.

Yan Qing raised her head and looked at Ling Ye, her beautiful eyes revealing a look of helplessness.

Choosing between the family and Ling Ye, she chose the former.

"Since Miss Yan has made a choice, then Ling will say goodbye, from now on, I, Ling Ye, will have nothing to do with the Yan family. ”

Ling Ye said coldly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

What the Yan family did was indeed reasonable, but it was ungrateful, and it didn't matter if they didn't make such friends.

With that, Ling Ye brushed his sleeves away and strode towards Xiguan Town.

"Ling Gongzi, you wait!"

Yan Qing saw Ling Ye turn around and leave, and shouted anxiously.

"Hmph, Miss Yan, do you have anything else? Could it be that Ling Ye is going to apologize to the Jiang family by himself?"

Ling Ye snorted coldly.

"Qing'er doesn't mean this, it's just that Xiguan Town is not as good as other places, and the expenses are quite large, and Ling Gongzi is shy in his pocket, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a place to stay, so no matter what, asking Ling Gongzi to accept these 100 spirit stones should be regarded as a little bit of Qing'er's heart. ”

Yan Qing ran to Ling Ye with the leather bag containing the spirit stone, put the leather bag in Ling Ye's hand, and said earnestly.

For the sake of the Yan family's caravan, she had to stand on Yan Hu's side and drive Ling Ye away, but deep down in her heart, she felt guilty about Ling Ye and hoped that she could make up for it.

"Thank you very much. ”

Hearing Yan Qing's words, Ling Ye thought about it for a while, then accepted the spirit stone, said with a smile, and then left in stride.

Ling Ye came out of Lingque Town, it can be said that he is poor and white, although he has treasures such as Qiankun Ring and Flame Gun, but he can't change spirit stones, but his hands are stretched.

Although he hunted countless demon beasts and obtained a lot of demon cores, which were very valuable, they were not as convenient as spirit stones, so he accepted spirit stones.

Moreover, he saved dozens of lives in the Yan family's caravan, which is by no means measurable by a hundred spirit stones, don't do it in vain, he doesn't have half a burden in his heart.

"Stinky liar, I thought he would be like the heroes recorded in the books, high-spirited and disdainful of asking for money, but I didn't expect him to be a greedy guy. ”

A trace of contempt flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes, and she said disdainfully.

"Xiaoyu, you don't have to say a word, Ling Gongzi will say goodbye to us, and I don't know when we will be able to meet. ”

Yan Qing looked at Ling Ye's back as he walked away, and sighed lightly.

~~

In a quarter of an hour, Ling Ye came to Xiguan Town and raised his eyes to look.

Xiguan Town is majestic and magnificent, and there is a sense of heaviness in the face.

The city wall of Xiguan Town is as high as ten zhang, and it is made of huge bluestone barriers, which is solid and thick, and unbreakable.

On the city wall, every ten steps stood a soldier in black armor and black armor, each soldier exuding a solemn aura, as if he had experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire.

For a remote town, Xiguan Town can be described as armed to the teeth.

However, this was far from enough, because the object of Xiguan Town's defense was not the human army, but the demon beasts in the Qinghuang Mountain Range.

It may be difficult for ordinary people to climb the ten-zhang high city wall, but the demon beast can easily jump up.

Xiguan Town is close to the Qinghuang Mountain Range, and it will be attacked by demon beasts at any time, so it has to be fully prepared.

The walls of Xiguan Town are densely covered with deep and shallow scratches, some new and some old, the new ones are only a few months, and the old ones are decades old, these scratches tell the glorious history of this stone city to resist monsters.

Xiguan Town is like a nail nailed to the periphery of the Qinghuang Mountain Range, as the first line of defense for human beings against demon beasts, it can be said to be a great contribution.

The first time Ling Ye saw such a town like Xiguan Town, his heart was shocked, and his blood was boiling, he hated to fight against the demon beasts that were surging like a tide with those senior martyrs who died in battle, what kind of courage it should be.

Ling Ye's gaze moved downwards and landed on the city gate that was five zhang high and three zhang wide.

In front of the city gate, it was like the huge mouth of a giant beast, devouring the endless flow of people.

Every human being who enters Xiguan Town is not weak, and at least has the strength of quenching the body.

After a long time, Ling Ye withdrew his gaze and walked towards the city gate.

However, when Ling Ye was about to enter the city gate, a soldier in black armor stood in front of him and said coldly:

"Boy, this won't be the first time you've come to Xiguan Town, right?

"It's indeed the first time I've come to Xiguan Town, but even the national capital probably won't collect taxes, so why does a small Xiguan Town collect taxes?"

Ling Ye frowned, glanced at the black-armored soldier with displeasure in his eyes, and said coldly.

"For the first time you came to Xiguan Town, I won't be familiar with you, and tell you directly. When you enter Xiguan Town, you will be protected, even if the monsters attack the city, there will be city guards in front, and you don't have to worry about your safety. ”

The black-armored soldier explained patiently.

After that, the black-armored soldier changed his words and continued:

"If you don't want to pay taxes, you can do it, when the monsters attack the city, you must go up to the city wall and guard Xiguan Town with us. If you don't want to pay taxes or defend the city, then I'm sorry, Xiguan Town doesn't welcome you, please go back!"

Hearing this, Ling Ye immediately understood that this was buying peace with money, after all, no one wanted to go up to the city wall to fight the demon beasts.

As for leaving Xiguan Town, it is even more impossible, only Xiguan Town is a safe place within a radius of hundreds of miles, and when you leave Xiguan Town, you must always be vigilant against demon beast attacks.

When Ling Ye first came, wasn't he chased and killed by the Gale Eagle and died nine times for a lifetime?

Thinking of this, Ling Ye stopped arguing and asked:

"How much tax do you need to pay to enter Xiguan Town. ”

"Usually, you only need to pay half a spirit stone, but if it is a demon beast attacking the city, you need to pay five spirit stones. ”

The black-armored soldier said.

"It's so expensive, you might as well grab it!".

Hearing that the entrance fee actually required half a spirit stone, Ling Ye showed surprise on his face and said.

"Hehe, compared to life, half a spirit stone is nothing. ”chaptererror();
