Chapter 45: Unveiling the Emperor's List
Zhang Ling and Yu'er were both extraordinary, their steps were extremely fast, and they used their mana to step on the grass, and soon came to a nearby border city in the Western Regions.
As soon as Zhang Ling entered the border city, he found that there was no high courtyard wall in the west, no drunken gold fans, and some were just castles and ancient temples, which were very classical. Zhang Ling originally liked tranquility, so he quickly liked it.
The streets are full of people, quite lively, but the people here are dressed too differently from the East, almost everyone is wearing silk gowns, peculiar hats, and mustaches with a unique flavor.
Zhang Ling thought to himself, I treat them as aliens, but they treat us as aliens?
Yu'er saw that the people on the street were looking at them one by one, and they were also uncomfortable, so she tugged on Zhang Ling's sleeve, "Ling Shao, let's hurry up and find a place to live, right?"
"Well, there seems to be a hotel station in front of you. Zhang Ling saw that there was a hotel not far in front of him, so he took Yu'er over.
"Two guests want to stay at the hotel?" As soon as Zhang Ling and Yu'er arrived at the door of the hotel, a person greeted them with a smile and greeted them.
"Yes, we are tourists from afar, and if it is late today, we want to stay in your store. Zhang Ling saw that the man was very polite, so he also replied politely.
"Two guest officers, please come with me, we still have a few rooms left unoccupied. ”
Zhang Ling was also a little tired, and when he heard that there was a vacant room to rest, he followed Yu'er quickly.
In this way, Zhang Ling and Yu'er rested for one night in an ordinary border city hotel.
Early the next morning, after Zhang Ling and Yu'er washed up, they went downstairs to order some food. Zhang Ling ate the breakfast in the Western Regions, although she felt a little out of taste, but it seemed to have a different flavor, but Yu'er was different, she seemed to love any food and was never picky.
Just as Zhang Ling and Yu'er were savoring the dim sum from the Western Regions, they saw a team of people who seemed to be officers and soldiers suddenly running over on the street. Later, I heard a group of guests eating at the inn whispering.
"Huh, why are there so many officers and soldiers on the street? It seems that they are still soldiers from the Imperial City of Geya. ”
"Don't you know? I heard that a few months ago, a demon beast appeared in the moat outside the border city, and as long as the fishermen who went out to fish in the lake were eaten by the demon beast, I heard that the demon beast was extremely large, and it could swallow a fishing boat in one bite, which scared everyone in the lake into danger! Now Princess Geya has ordered to post notices everywhere, looking for capable people, and offering a reward for catching demons!"
"Oh, and that kind of thing, I just came back from another city, and I didn't expect this to happen!"
The conversations of several locals from the Western Regions sitting not far from Zhang Ling were all listened to by Zhang Ling. Zhang Ling was shocked: Could it be another demon?
Yu'er saw that Zhang Ling was frightened, so she said: "Ling Shao, Yu'er thinks that Ling Shao had better not interfere in this matter, if the demon is sent by the two worlds of demons, then Ling Shao will fall into a dangerous situation and become the food in the mouth of the demon." Of course, Yu'er also heard the conversation of those people, but she felt that it was better not to interfere, lest she fall into the trap of the demons.
"Yu'er, you are too worried, that demon may not be sent by the two demon realms to track us, besides, if we can get rid of that demon, it will also be considered a merit, and as for the princess's bounty, it can also make us stay in the capital of the Western Regions for a few more years, so that we can cultivate diligently. Although Yu'er repeatedly dissuaded, Zhang Ling's idea was different from Yu'er's, he wanted to get rid of that demon and relieve the suffering of the people.
"But, Ling Shao..."
"That's it, what I need most now is experience, this is an opportunity to improve myself!" Yu'er was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Ling's resolute tone.
"Okay, since Ling Shao has decided, I will accompany Ling Shao to take a risk, I said, even if it is broken, Yu'er must ensure that Ling Shao is thorough, and I will never let Ling Shao have anything to do!" Yu'er saw that Ling Shao had decided, so she no longer stopped it, and a smile and encouragement appeared on her face.
"Okay, Yu'er, I won't let you have anything to do!" Since the last battle with the snake demon, the relationship between Ling Shao and Yu'er seems to have been deep and indestructible.
After the agreement, Zhang Ling and Yu'er walked out of the hotel and resolutely unveiled the imperial list in front of everyone.
"Who are the two of them, looking at their clothes as if they are from other places, they dare to rashly expose this imperial list, do they have the ability to subdue demons and subdue demons? But if they can't kill demons, it's also a crime to kill their heads!" The onlookers saw Zhang Ling unveiling the imperial list, and they all started to discuss.
"Yu'er, let's go, let's go to the lake!"
"Okay, let's go!" Zhang Ling unveiled the imperial list and followed Yu'er out of the border city and went straight to the moat.
Half an hour later, Zhang Ling and Yu'er came to the lake where they came before.
"Ling Shao, now the nearby fishermen are so scared that they don't dare to go out, and now there seems to be no movement in this lake?"
Zhang Ling and Yu'er observed for a while, but they didn't find any movement in this moat, it seems that this demon will never come out without seeing the prey.
"Ling Shao, Yu'er has a plan, Yu'er pretends to be a fisherman and goes down to fish, and she will definitely be able to lure the demon to appear!" Yu'er thought for a long time and finally came up with a countermeasure.
"How can this work? Wouldn't you be very dangerous? I must not let you be in danger, and if you want to go, I will go!" Zhang Ling was startled when he heard Yu'er's proposal, he would never let Yu'er take risks for him again.
"Ling Shao, you haven't been promoted to the Divine Realm yet, you won't cross into the void, and if you fall into the lake, you will become the food of the demon's mouth! I must not let Ling Shao let you go!" Yu'er naturally has her reasons.
"This... What if you are in danger?" Zhang Ling was still not worried about Yu'er, with a look of embarrassment.
"Ling Shao, believe me, my mission is to protect you, so I will never let myself die easily, don't worry!" Yu'er said and turned into a fisherman, and conjured up a fishing boat to stop at the lake.
"Ling Shao, I'm going, don't worry, I'll be fine!" After saying that, Yu'er jumped into the boat, rowed the oars, and sailed towards the center of the lake.
Zhang Ling looked at the back of Yu'er gradually reaching the center of the lake, and was deeply worried about her...
