Chapter 180: Entering Dingcheng
On the night of September 20, Niujia Village.
The Lion Emperor didn't reply, "Sect Master, you're here." ”
I didn't answer the Lion Emperor, I just walked over to him and stood still. The Lion Emperor stared blankly at the red ring in his palm, and hesitated for a long time before handing it to me. I took it and poured magic into it, and with a gentle thought, I shook the red ring with two fingers, and a large stream of blood-smelling water flew towards the pond near me.
Then, I handed the ring back to the Lion Emperor, who was stunned and then took it back with a smile and put it on the middle finger of his right hand. I smiled at the Lion Emperor and said, "Good night, Mr. Mu." ”
When I turned around and walked a few steps, I was suddenly stopped by the Lion Emperor.
"Sect Master, if you want to reward the old man, can you also reward the old man with a few pills of the Yi Rong Pill? That pill is really interesting. ”
I continued without saying a word, and after taking a few steps, I flicked a porcelain vase and flew towards the Lion Emperor.
"Thank you, sect master, if you have this kind of beauty in the future, just tell the old man to me. ”
"Thank you for saving so many lives, this is a reward for your kindness. Thank you. ”
I choked up a little in my words, and I was startled by myself, I thought I was already a cold-blooded animal. If goodness is trampled on in a world, then the world is not far from destruction.
"Sect Master, don't trust those guys in the sect too much. ”
The lion emperor's sincere words still didn't make me look back, and I continued to walk but raised my hand and waved.
I looked at Niujia Village in front of me, and my heart couldn't help but be full of sadness, there were no more residents in the huge village, and the village was full of corpses that had turned into bones. Death Rose had become so mad that the magical elixir she had provided to the Chosen Ones had brought devastating disaster to the people of the Foundry.
I'm obligated to eradicate it!
Along the way we passed through 4 cities and many villages. Anthropomorphic beasts are everywhere, and we can't stop slashing them. The people in the cities were panicked, and the villages were cut off from cooking smoke.
When we arrived at Zhuding City, the capital of the country, it was already September 29th. When we arrived in front of the North City Gate, we rarely saw a lively scene of long queues in Zhuguo.
"Capable master and know-it-all, anthropomorphic beast foot claw, hand claw, please come here!"
The Casting Kingdom and the surrounding 5 countries and the Wanshitang jointly rewarded and killed the anthropomorphic monsters, and with the two little toes and two little fingers of the anthropomorphic beasts, they could be exchanged for 5 Sancai Jinbao. Therefore, along the way, the colleagues and masters of the Manshido have been collecting the toes and fingers of the anthropomorphic beast that we killed.
Zhou Taishou looked at the Lion Emperor, and the Lion Emperor nodded. So a leading master of the Iron Kingdom and a gold-level jack-of-all-trades each carried a big bag and took a large group of us to the exchange place.
Seeing us coming from afar, the official sitting behind the desk was not calm for a moment. He jerked to his feet and ran straight at us.
The official's eyes were straight as he looked at the two large bags, and when we walked in, he pointed to the bags and said urgently, "Are these two big bags the fingers and toes of anthropomorphic beasts?"
After receiving a positive answer, the officer immediately summoned soldiers to come and assist him in the count. Outside the city gates, people who had been waiting in line to enter the city came to watch, and soon we were surrounded by a large crowd in the center.
As the soldier poured out the anthropomorphic fingers and toes in the bag with a look of surprise, the crowd erupted in screams, followed by cheers that rang out outside the north gate.
The misery of the people of the Founders being harmed by anthropomorphic beasts can be seen.
“...... 424!425!426!427!428!”
The surrounding crowd happily helped the soldiers count the fingers and toes of the anthropomorphic beast, and the atmosphere was as warm as the New Year, and many people even cried with excitement.
The official excitedly shook the hand of the gold-level jack-of-all-trades and wept bitterly and said, "Great! You guys are so good! The anthropomorphic beasts we killed before are only more than 600 together! You guys are amazing! Come! Come! Come! Lift Jinbao up!"
The soldiers forcibly separated the crowd, and two large boxes of gold treasures were carried in front of us, and the people applauded and cheered in unison.
Suddenly, a loud horn sounded from the direction of the north gate.
Then the sound of rolling thunder in the sky got closer and closer, and after a while, even the ground trembled slightly. The crowd that had been stuck at the gate of the city retreated sharply to both sides like a school of fish in the sea that had been attacked by sharks. After the crowd behind us parted, we finally saw where the thunder was coming from.
The tall sergeants of the brigade in gorgeous armor marched towards us with flags of various colors in their hands. Before us, the sergeants began with the two closest to us, separated from each other, and stood facing the people. As the sergeants holding the flag finally stood on either side, two young men, a man and a woman, came into view, and they rode slowly towards us on tall horses.
Among them, about 20 years old, with a blue and gold high bun and a gorgeous purple and gold palace dress, it can be called the beauty of the country and the city, and it is Xuanyuan Hui. Xuanyuan Hui's temperament is cold and not angry, and her eyes are so bright that people dare not look up. And the tall man on her left, who looks 2-3 years older than 1.8 meters, looks much inferior. The man also has blue-blonde hair but black eyes, and his handsome face reveals an elegant and weak temperament. Compared with Xuanyuan Hui, her aura is much weaker.
The gap between the two in cultivation is comparable to the gap in their appearance, Xuanyuan Hui is in the realm of refinement, and the man is only in the realm of refinement.
And behind Xuanyuan Hui and they were followed on horseback by Tai Ge's heart and the dragon lady I was worried about day and night.
When exchanging the toes and fingers of the anthropomorphic monster for Jinbao, the Lion Emperor, who had been following the last of us to watch coldly, would instead be the closest person to Xuanyuan Hui. He turned his face from the direction where Xuanyuan Hui and the others had come, and with a troubled expression on his face, he raised his leg and walked towards a large group of us. Zhou Taishou met him helplessly, and blocked his way with a smile on his face. The Lion Emperor glared at Zhou Taishou very dissatisfied, and we couldn't help but secretly sweat for Zhou Taishou, and after a few days of getting along, everyone liked this good official who dared to be responsible and compassionate.
Fortunately, the Lion Emperor just glared at Zhou Taishou and shrunk the others, but Zhou Taishou still stood there and didn't take half a step back, and the Lion Emperor didn't mean to make a move. We not only admired Zhou Taishou's courage, but also secretly called the Qishi Emperor his old man soft.
"Xuanyuan Hui, Class 3 of the seventh grade of Datong Academy, Teacher Baishem, you have a great helping hand. ”
Xuanyuan Hui still had 20 meters left, jumped off the horse, rushed to the front and went behind the Lion Emperor, and respectfully saluted the Lion Emperor.
Suddenly there was a commotion around them.
"See, it's Her Royal Highness the Second Princess's teacher! The Second Princess invited his old man!"
"She really deserves to be our second princess! the future of our country depends on her!"
"Second princess Chitose! Second princess Chitose!"
Soon these voices became louder and louder, and the vast majority of the audience followed the mountain to call Chitose. The man who originally wanted to come with Xuanyuan Hui looked around with fear and withdrew his step. His gaze at the back of Xuanyuan Hui's neck became very complicated, and he sighed secretly.
The Lion Emperor squinted to both sides, and the gaze in his eyes became a little cold, but he still turned around and nodded slightly to Xuanyuan Hui. A dignified smile appeared on Xuanyuan Hui's face, and she bowed to the Lion Emperor again.
Then Xuanyuan Hui made a gesture of invitation to the Lion Emperor without raising his head, and said in a respectful tone: "Emperor Mu, I respectfully invite you to get on the horse, the father of this palace has already set up a banquet in the palace, and I specially ordered this palace to welcome you." ”
As soon as Xuanyuan Hui said this, the man in the distance frowned, and his mouth was tightly pursed. And the faces of Tai Ge Wenxin and Granny Long behind him also had different expressions, obviously there was something wrong with Xuanyuan Hui's words.
"It's still our second princess who has a big face, and even the emperor of Datong Academy has been invited!"
"Yes, the only one who can save us from the second princess is the second princess. ”
Soon the situation of a mountain calling for Chitose was repeated again, and I said brother, how much did you charge the second princess of the family? Every time, a few of you are clamoring inside, and then the other dozens of people are trying their best to incite Chitose. You really treat that handsome guy as air, and I'm not afraid that he will send troops to click you all.
I suddenly felt Xuanyuan Hui's gaze sweep over my face, and her gaze turned cold.
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, I didn't settle Rasputin's account with your housekeeper, you have to throw me face. Beauty, brother let you see what it means not to offend the villain.
I immediately sent a message to the Lion Emperor, and the Lion Emperor's body stiffened slightly, and then strode towards her horse at Xuanyuan Hui's invitation. The Lion Emperor walked up to Xuanyuan Hui's horse, then turned his head and smiled and talked to the man who had been standing still. The man's tense expression relaxed suddenly, and he introduced himself to the Lion Emperor very respectfully. In the end, under Xuanyuan Hui's somewhat dumbfounded expression, the Lion Emperor actually went straight to the man's horse. The man turned his head and glanced at Xuanyuan Hui proudly, and also got on the horse given by Granny Long, and accompanied the Lion Emperor to the city.
This kind of change made the surrounding crowd quiet down for a moment, and the initial cheers were in contrast to the current situation, no less than a slap in the face of Xuanyuan Hui. The expression on Xuanyuan Hui's face froze, and her body trembled slightly. After a while, she regained her composure, glanced at us with a dignified smile on her face, and turned to Zhou Taishou to make an invitation. Zhou Taishou accepted a businesslike smile on his face, and respectfully asked Xuanyuan Hui to go first.
Xuanyuan Hui, who has a noble status, naturally will not shirk, and will lead the way in front. Tai Ge gave his horse to Zhou Taishou to ride, and Xuanyuan Hui also invited Zhou Taishou to ride, so Zhou Taishou no longer shirked and got on the horse and followed Xuanyuan Hui. Except for the leaders of Wanshitang and Tieguo who followed Zhou Taishou to enjoy the state banquet, we, the shrimp soldiers and crabs, naturally had other arrangements.
Feng'er ran directly to the side of Granny Long who stayed behind, smiling and coquettish, and Granny Long hugged her into her arms with a loving face. Naturally, we also greeted it.
"I'll take care of these four children, so go and receive the others. ”
Granny Long dismissed the female officer who had come to receive us. Erya and Hongtong took advantage of the fact that I only cared about Feng'er and Granny Long's intimacy, and the two exchanged a look, and unexpectedly together in the back (top) me. I staggered forward, and Granny Long took my shoulders.
Granny Long, who was smiling and blooming on her face, put her arms around Feng'er in one hand and me in the other, and led Hongtong and Erya into the city in front. When we passed through the city gate, we found that the reason why there was a long queue in front of the city gate was because everyone who entered the city had to be tested by the energy infiltrated by the master from the center of the eyebrows. Although this method is stupid, it is also a good way to deal with anthropomorphic monsters, which cannot hide the energy characteristics of their own filth masters.
After entering the city, Granny Long took us to a restaurant opened by the owner of the Heavenly Wolf Valley from the Human Continent without stopping.
After Granny Long put a cold chicken nugget into my bowl, she hesitated for a moment and asked me, "Jian'er, is the Lion Emperor's strange behavior today related to you?"
I looked down and munched on the chicken nuggets and nodded honestly.
Granny Long sighed deeply and said with concern: "Last time you dismissed the face of the second princess in the Wanshi Hall of Qianyuan City, the manager of the second princess's family regarded you as an enemy. That time in Tianxia City, he wanted to take the opportunity to kill you, but I stopped him. You are careful when you arrive in Casting City this time. ”
I looked up at Granny Long and smiled casually, "I know, grandma." ”
