Chapter 227
Shui Ling'er's beautiful eyes were a little red, and her pursed lips squirmed up and down a few times, half loudly, before she squeezed out a few intermittent words: "Jin Yuan...... Kim Yuen ...... He ......"
Lan Mulin's heart tightened when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think of the people who occasionally disappeared in the Fengyun base not long ago, and he was worried: Could it be that Jin Yuan was captured by the people of the three mercenary groups who came up from the mountain, and he hurriedly wanted to rush to the base to see the situation. Shui Ling'er beside her just wanted to explain, but when he interrupted like this, she was a little stunned at a loss. reacted after a moment, grabbed him, and said suspiciously: "Brother Lin, what are you going to do!"
Lan Mulin was stunned for a moment, staying in place, his face full of doubts: "Isn't there something wrong with Jin Yuan?"
Hearing Jin Yuan's name, Ling'er's originally smart eyes dimmed a little, and she muttered, "Jin Yuan is fine." The little girl was sullen again. Seeing her reflection, Lan Mulin was even more anxious.
"Alas" A heavy sigh came, Lan Mulin looked at Yuebai who was slowly coming from the base, and his always calm and indifferent expression was also a little uncalm and a little worried.
"Yuebai, what the hell is going on, what's wrong with Jin Yuan?" Lan Mulin asked in amazement.
Yuebai sighed again, calmed down, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, and said leisurely: "Jin Yuan left a letter, and left early in the morning, I have just read the letter with Ling'er, saying that I went back to the family for help."
Lan Mulin blurted out in astonishment: "Jin Yuan's family, you mean - Jin family!" How could it be ......" and then quickly opened the envelope and quickly browsed it. Halfway through, Lan Mulin put the envelope back away, looked at Yue Bai and Shui Ling'er beside him, sighed deeply, and said, "Jin Yuan is ready to bow to his father this time."
When Yuebai and Shui Ling'er heard this, their faces were pungent, and they were silent for a while, and then Yuebai sighed leisurely and said, "Yes, I don't know when I will see Jin Yuan next time."
Ling'er's eyes were red, and tears were faintly flashing. A little choked up: "Last time, Yun Tong left, and it has been more than two years since he left, and now I don't know where I am alive or dead." This time it's Kim Won...... Hmph, isn't that guy proud? But this time it's not a big deal. That guy ran away first, he was just as stupid as Yun Tong. Ling'er scolded loudly, her little face was puffed up, she stomped her feet, fell into Lan Mulin's arms, and sobbed lowly.
Lan Mulin gently stroked her head and sighed slightly, his eyes full of helplessness and frustration. After Yun Tong left, they immediately chased after him, but they inquired for more than half a year. I didn't find a single word, and it seemed to disappear out of thin air, and I didn't know my life and death and whereabouts from then on. Unexpectedly, it was Jin Yuan's turn this time, although they rarely heard Jin Yuan mention his family and parents. But he also clearly knew that when Jin Yuan went to the Jin family's place, it was like returning to the cage, and it would be difficult to come up with it again. And it is not easy for them to enter the Jin family. There were thousands of thoughts in his heart, and after half a sound, Lan Mulin calmed down a little, raised his head and looked at Yuebai, who was also helpless on the side. sighed lowly, and said helplessly: "Alas, why should he do this, even if he exchanged his freedom for the Fengyun base, what is the point of this Fengyun mercenary group without him."
"Alas, he just didn't want us to fight for two years. It's hard to have a Fengyun base in such a state as it is now, and it's just a matter of giving it away. Since this is his choice, I think we should respect him, just like Yun Tong back then. I think Yun Tong must be alive and well somewhere on this continent, one day. We'll get back together. ”
"Well, there will be a day like this." Lan Mulin looked at Ling'er in his arms and nodded heavily.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Shui Ling'er also stopped sobbing, wiped her tears, gritted her teeth, and said hatefully: "Yes, there will always be encounters." If I catch these two selfish ghosts, I will definitely ...... them both" Ling'er clenched her fists, her clenched fingers rattled, and she gritted her teeth as if she was facing a life-and-death enemy, thinking about all kinds of torture in her mind, torturing two self-righteous fools.
Lan Mulin and Yuebai looked at Ling'er's angry appearance, and couldn't help but smile, diluting the sadness caused by parting.
"Yuebai, have all the caravans and civilians in the base been safely evacuated?" Lan Mulin's expression was solemn and he asked lightly.
"Well, I just received news that the last evacuation team has been successfully transferred to Ryder Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Moore City, and they are all safe."
Lan Mulin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, pondered for a moment, and said with some emotion: "If we can get through this this time, and then slowly seek development in the future, this time we are too big." We put all our minds on the development of the base, but we forget that fattening the meat will always attract some greedy vultures. ”
Yuebai replied with deep feelings: "Yes, this group of guys who only know how to plunder are simply insatiable. Brother Lan, if we delay for a few more days, everything will be settled for us. I just received a message from my father that he has sent someone to help him as soon as possible. ”
Lan Mulin comforted in his heart, the solemnity on his face decreased a little, patted Yuebai's shoulder and said, "Thanks to your father's help this time, we have the opportunity to visit his old man's house."
Yuebai shook his head lightly and said: "My father is very appreciative of Brother Lan's talent, and if it weren't for Yuntong's elixir back then, the Muye Chamber of Commerce would not have been able to relieve some of its anger under the joint suppression of the two chambers of commerce." It's just a gesture to do this now, and of course my father also said that part of the reason for helping the Fengyun Mercenary Group is to cooperate in the future. It's just that after all, the center of gravity of our Makino Chamber of Commerce is in the Kyle Empire and the Xana Empire, although Sowell has some business in the country, it has always been sluggish, so there are not enough people here, and it is still a little difficult to draw out a few strong people of the Holy Rank to come over for a while, and it will take a few days to rush over from the Kyle Empire and the Xana Empire. ”
"At least there's hope." Lan Mulin replied with some emotion.
Shui Ling'er on the side also patted Yuebai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Yuebai is still the smartest." For her praise, Yuebai still smiled lightly and elegantly, and didn't say anything more.
Suddenly, two hurried figures rushed up from a distance as quickly as burning buttocks, and came to the three of them, and Hongrui, who had always been impatient, couldn't wait to speak: "Brother Lan, it's not good, you hurry up to the tower and have a look."
When Lan Mulin heard this, his eyes flashed with consternation, but he also knew Hongrui's personality. His face quickly calmed down, and he calmly looked at Sowell, who had always been focused and unfocused, and said, "What happened to Sowell?"
Sowell glanced at a few people, and his expression was also a letter. The tone was unhurried and said: "In front of the gate of the base city, five people flew in the air, and now they are shouting in front of the gate to see you, Brother Hongrui and my sister have already gone."
Lan Mulin's face turned completely cold, and a fierce momentum on his body invisibly spread, he frowned silently, and lowered his head in contemplation. Shui Ling'er on the side had a cold face, her pursed lips were full of sarcasm, and she clenched her fists but didn't say anything. At first glance, Yuebai is still as calm and indifferent as ever, and looks carefully. The eyes that had always been calm and waveless were full of knife-like killing intent.
Seeing this, Hongrui and Sowell couldn't make up their minds for a while, so they could only continue to stand where they were, not disturbing a few people.
Half ringing. Lan Mulin paced back and forth a few steps, looked at Yuebai with a solemn face and said, "Yuebai, you go and call Rong Nuo and Lan Su, and tell Aunt Lan about the current situation by the way, so that they can rush to the tower as soon as possible." Ling'er, Sowell, and Hongrui are with me, and we will go over first now and try to do it. Delay as long as possible and wait for support. ”
"Understood" Everyone responded one after another, and the five of them left quickly in two ways.
The base of Wind and Cloud is located on the edge of a cliff halfway up the mountain near the Custer Mountains on the outskirts of the Sunset Mountains, as if the entire peak has been cut in half. The entire Fengyun base is backed by a steep mountain peak and faces a cliff more than 200 meters high, and the terrain is very steep. There is only a winding mountain road leading to the bottom of the mountain on the left and right sides of the mountain, and although this geographical location is a little inconvenient for trade, it also makes the Fengyun base easy to defend and difficult to attack, greatly reducing the degree of danger.
Although the scale of the Fengyun base is not as large as some large towns, it can only be regarded as a large village at most. The facilities inside are already compared to the average town. There are all kinds of restaurants and taverns for mercenaries to rest, as well as places for buying and selling, and even a simple auction hall...... This is all planned and slowly developed by the people of the Fengyun Mercenary Group.
Lan Mulin led Shui Ling'er, Sowell, and Hongrui towards the tallest tower in front of the city gate. Along the way, I watched the once lively streets become depressed again, and all kinds of people left behind when they left in a hurry...... After more than two years of countless baptisms of wind and frost, the more cold and resolute handsome face can't help but feel a little sad, and the eyes that have always been resolute and sharp are also faintly gloomy. The hurried pace couldn't help but slow down. Shui Ling'er on the side felt Lan Mulin's loss with a heart, and a pair of smart beautiful eyes were like autumn water, flashing with soft light waves, and called in a low voice: "Brother Lin"
Lan Mulin turned his head to look at the little woman who had been by his side, habitually stroked Shui Ling'er's head, and comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, it'll always be fine."
Although Ling'er knew the seriousness of the matter, she also nodded quietly, clenched Lan Mulin's arm, her eyes flashed with determination, and she seemed to be saying wordlessly: As long as we are together, everything is not terrible.
Lan Mulin smiled freely, looked at Shui Ling'er affectionately, and said in a low voice: "Ling'er, if you escape this catastrophe, let's get married first."
Shui Ling'er's beautiful eyes are like autumn water, rippling layers of ripples, warm, soft, low and lightly opening her lips, um, the four eyes are facing each other, tender and sweet, at this time silent is better than sound. Seeing this, Sowell and Hongrui on the side looked at each other and smiled at each other, automatically avoided it, and raised their feet to step on the tower close in front of them, not to disturb the two lovers.
"Papa" sounded a few crisp slaps behind the two, waking up the two who were looking at each other affectionately. Lan Mulin and Shui Ling'er looked back in astonishment, only to see that the people who came were Yuebai, Rong Nuo, Lan Su and Aunt Lan, Shui Ling'er's face couldn't hold back, it was red like a boiled shrimp, buried behind Lan Mulin and couldn't come out. No matter how cheeky Lan Mulin was, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable under the eyes of the five people full of deep meaning and banter, but the redness of the bronzed skin didn't look so obvious.
Lan Mulin reluctantly showed a smile and said respectfully, "Aunt Lan, you're here."
The Aunt Lan in Lan Mulin's mouth is a middle-aged beautiful woman, and from the still charming appearance, it is not difficult to see that Aunt Lan was also a generation of stunning beauties when she was young. The slender eyebrows and eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes outline the charm that belongs only to mature women, and the still graceful figure is dressed in tight-fitting black light armor, which perfectly stretches the seductive curves. It's a pity that Aunt Lan's temperament is 108,000 miles different from her appearance, and at this time, Aunt Lan is holding a wide-mouthed knife more than one meter long in her hand, which is casually carried on her shoulder, which looks a little nondescript for her petite figure. speaks in a rough voice, and is not half soft, but has the charm of a big sister.
"I said Lan boy, Aunt Lan didn't see that you had this hand. Coaxing a woman is a bit of an iron man's tenderness, not bad, no wonder Ling'er is such a clever girl who is desperate to follow you. However, don't worry about falling in love, there are still many people waiting for it. Aunt Lan glanced at the two of them playfully, dodged past them, and stepped up the stairs leading to the tower.
As soon as Aunt Lan left, Yuebai and Rong Nuo immediately squeezed over. Yuebai didn't say anything, but after being with him for so long, how could Lan Mulin and Shui Ling'er not see the teasing between his eyebrows.
Rong Nuo still grinned. The signature smile, at the instigation of his newlywed wife Lan Su, congratulated the two of them for some reason: "Congratulations to Brother Lan and Ling'er, get married as soon as possible, and give birth to a noble son early."
"Jung. You ......" Lan Mulin almost fell to the ground when he heard this, looked at Rong Nuo with an innocent face, and then looked at Lan Su who was smiling smiling beside him, and could only pout his lips helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Since Congrong Nuo and the eccentric Lan Su got married, they have been more and more damaged. Lan Su inherited all the advantages of her mother, Aunt Lan, but she was petite but exquisite. There are seven or eight points of similarity between the eyebrows and eyes. When he laughs, his eyebrows and eyes are crooked, sweet, like an innocent and lively enamel doll, charming and lovely, which makes people like it at first sight. But her character is not flattering, compared to her mother's frankness. Lan Su's personality is a headache, when they first met, the five of them were tortured by this little witch to death, but fortunately, this little witch fell in love with Rong Nuo's stupid boy, but she showed a lot of mercy to a few of their subordinates. However, for the horror of this little witch, Lan Mulin only dared to avoid its edge. Strictly implement the principle that good men don't fight with evil women, but sometimes I can't help but sigh for Rong Nuo's wife's strict life, or my own spirit is good.
"Alright, let's go up." Yuebai glanced at everyone and immediately made a round.
"Hmm" Lan Mulin nodded immediately, pulled Ling'er, turned around and climbed the stairs. Yuebai, Rong Nuo and Lan Su immediately followed, and on the way, Rong Nuo wrote and said to Lan Su: "Su'er, Brother Lan seems to be a little angry, did I say something wrong?"
Lan Su shook his head and said in an affirmative tone: "No, Brother Lan and Sister Ling'er are just getting married, and they are a little nervous."
"Oh, I was a little nervous when I got married, too." Rong Nuo nodded honestly, grinning happily at the thought of something. He didn't notice the playful sparkle in Lan Su's eyes at all.
Lan Mulin and Shui Ling'er listened to the conversation between the two, and almost fell to the ground under their feet. It was already embarrassing to be caught talking about love, and he was teased on the spot by Aunt Lan's loud voice, the most hateful thing was that Rong Nuo also solemnly congratulated him, Lan Mulin had a kind of idea of knocking him out, thinking about the little witch, forget it.
The tower stands right on the city gate, just enough to see the scene in the open space in front of the city gate. The walls of the Fengyun base are only four or five meters high, all of them are made of bluestone, and the defensive offensive is much simpler than that of the big towns, after all, the Fengyun base has only been developed by Lan Mulin and others for just over a year, and there is not enough money to buy expensive and terrifying elemental bows, crossbows, artillery and other city defense equipment.
At this time, there were already more than 100 people gathered on the tower, most of them were the backbone of the Fengyun mercenary group, and this time the three high-level mercenary groups of Storm Bear, Tianye, and Hongtian surrounded and suppressed their Fengyun mercenary group, which happened suddenly and came without warning. Therefore, many of the Fengyun mercenaries who went out on missions did not rush back in time, so compared to the thousands of people stationed at the foot of the Fengyun base, the hundreds of people looked much thinner.
"Who is Lan Mulin, the leader of a small mercenary group is quite big, and he hasn't come out yet, is he scared by the old man and a few people who don't dare to come out? Haha" The old man's powerful voice with a thick contempt and mockery came from the mouth of a tall, thin old man with a white beard among the five people standing in front of the city gate.
Lan Mulin's sword frowned, his face turned cold, and just as he wanted to reply, he was stopped by Aunt Lan beside him.
Aunt Lan's lips were pursed, her eyes looked at the figures of the five people coldly, the fingers of her right hand holding the big knife were slightly white because of the excessive force, the blade of the knife trembled uncontrollably slightly, and the lock ring on it collided with the blade and made a "sonorous" metal collision sound.
Lan Mulin looked at her like this, obviously angry to the extreme, if it was normal times, with Aunt Lan's unruly and arrogant personality, she would definitely immediately shout at the top of her throat or directly slash him with a big knife a few times back and forth. But Aunt Lan was so quietly patient, and she seemed to know that someone was coming, and it seemed that it was not easy to come to someone.
