Chapter 709: The Lin Family

Although it is like an arrow, he can't ignore the weather, and the road Xu Ning chose is the closest, but the mountain road is rugged, so he must be careful.

He can take the official road, and the Dongzhou Empire will use the most complete road in the entire Soul Continent, and it can be said that any city in the tens of millions can find a way. However, in this way, it is easy to expose oneself, and the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable. Taking the mountain road is also a helpless choice, of course, it is also to return to Qingfeng City faster.

According to the path Xu Ning chose, as long as he didn't stop day and night, he would have to walk at least half the distance, but the cost was also very high, and he had to be patient to shuttle between the forest and the mountains.

Correspondingly, the arrangement of this itinerary makes Qianlong very happy! She didn't expect that there would be such vast deep forests and majestic mountains in the Soul Continent, although there was a lack of aura in these natural landscapes, but the number of animals and plants was not less than that of the Magic Continent.

"Xu Ning, you shouldn't be so impatient, things should be better if they go naturally." Qianlong said with a smile.

"If it can make you happy, it can be regarded as not a waste of work!" Xu Ning sighed and pulled his cloak closer.

"Your words are a bit insincere!" Qianlong smiled and said, "You can think of it as a walk in the rain!" In this kind of weather, the horses will not feel burdened, and it is estimated that it is possible to reach the place you mentioned in two days. ”

Xu Ning nodded, squeezing out a smile.

There is no way to rush it, you can only take it slowly. Xu Ning's previous idea was very simple, he also used to use flying martial arts to fly long distances, although it was fast, but the price paid was that the meridians were damaged and the martial veins were sluggish; The reason why one's own energy seems to be violent is because in a short period of time. If you play it in battle, it's like comparing a kitchen knife with a sword that sharpens iron like clay, if it's powerful, it's naturally a sword that's slightly better, but which one will you choose for daily chopping?

Martial cultivators are also good. Whether it is an elven warrior or not, there is a rule to follow in the use of his powerful power. Acting arbitrarily and recklessly usually does not end well.

With a long breath, he exhaled a puff of white smoke. The temperature in the deep forests of the mountain range was already very low, Xu Ning wrapped his cloak tightly, sat on the horse, as if he had a small pillbox on his body, and walked forward unhurriedly.

I was finally going back, and I couldn't help but feel excited. I left for more than three months. What are the relatives in Qingfeng City doing? Grandfathers and uncles should take care of the family's business as always, Tianyang and Xu Qing and others are estimated to be more mature, is Yan Bing used to living in his own home? And everyone in the middle of Mengyun, you should be busy at this time!

The carriage slowly moved forward, and after the white fox woke up, he lit the crystal lamp that was originally hanging on the Qiang wooden boat, and the mermaid fish oil in it only used a shallow layer. The light was surrounded by a hazy cloud of water vapor, like a halo of light. It looks even more cute, and the front of the horse is not illuminated. Otherwise, their autonomous judgment will be affected.

Xu Ning also put a horse lantern on the horse's back and lit it, letting the horses eat grass while walking, Qianlong had already run forward for a long distance, saying that he was going to explore the road, but in fact it was to yo the horse.

"Looks like there's a place to rest ahead."

It was already midnight, and Xu Ning had not left the rainy season. The blue light in front kept turning in circles, which was a signal sent by Qianlong to himself, there should be someone or a traveler. Xu Ning gave a whistle, and the horse team immediately picked up the pace.

When I got closer, I found that it was a very simple post station, so simple that there was only one room of Cheng dΓΉ.

The rest of the space is a large open pavilion made of trees like a corridor. A few tables were set up horizontally, which were used to entertain guests during the day, and to report some hay at night, which served as a resting place. At the end of these sheds, there is a stable for tying horses, and there is a faint smell of grass.

"Phew!" Xu Ning reined in the horse, jumped down from it, and looked around for a while.

"It's an abandoned inn!" Xu Ning pushed open the door and took a look, there were miscellaneous things, there were cobwebs everywhere, and he said a little depressedly, "The room is full of garbage, and I can't live at all, I think it's better to endure it outside for a night!" ”

"I don't care, I just have a place to shelter from the rain." Qianlong walked under the long shed, although it was very messy, but the shed was still an explanation, and with the dense canopy around it, the rain could not come in at all.

"In the past, in the forests of the Magic Continent, I would spend the night in a tree hollow on rainy days."

"Oh, dig a hole in the tree beforehand?"

"Sometimes it is needed, but there are many tree holes in the forest that already have zΓ i, and you have also seen that the trees in the Magic Continent are much taller and thicker than here."

"That's true, a tree there is hollowed out and can be used for a house."

As the two of them talked and sorted out their things, a pair of bonfires burned next to the shed, and the water droplets were just close to the edge of the bonfire, and the warmth of the firelight gave them a sense of relief, and at the same time a feeling of exhaustion also hit.

"I think it's better for you to rest in the carriage, I'm keeping vigil here." Xu Ning said as he took out the dry food in his luggage and roasted it.

"You better go in and rest! I like to be a little closer to nature! ”

"But this is not a magical continent after all, and danger will appear at any time."

The aroma of roasted dry food is very tempting for hungry people, and before Xu Ning could take a bite, suddenly the white fox made a warning sound.

At the same time, Xu Ning also realized that there was a movement, which appeared in the room of the post station just now.

"Whoosh!" At the same time that Xu Ning threw away the dry food, a powerful qi rushed out of his right fist, and without choosing any specific target, he slammed into the house of the post station as a whole.

"Dragon Slaying Technique!"

Xu Ning hadn't used the Xu family's dragon slaying technique for a long time, and he didn't know what was hidden in it, whether it was a human or an animal, so he didn't want to be a complete killer. The Dragon Slayer can destroy the entire house, but it will not harm the people inside.

Like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring, although his body had already obtained the elemental power of the elf clan, Xu Ning's martial vein shape still retained the nature of the "Eighteen Demon Extermination Chains", and as soon as one palm came out, the five chain-shaped Gang air currents condensed together. Like five white dragons, tearing apart the post house in front of them!

Boom!

"Ah, spare your life, spare your life!"

A scream came out of the room, Xu Ning was stunned, it seemed that there was more than one person?!

He glanced at Qianlong, who had a cloak on it. Holding the half-moon bow in his hand, he jumped up a large tree, hidden in the canopy, and an elven arrow was placed on the bowstring, waiting for the opportunity.

"Who? Come out! ”

Xu Ning walked to the collapsed house and shouted, and after a while, three figures got up from the ruins. All three seemed to be weak, shaking as they got up, and each of them seemed to have scars on their bodies.

"Spare your life. Heroes spare their lives! We're not bad guys, we're just taking refuge again! ”

Xu Ning frowned, feeling that their voices were very familiar, and the accent was from Qingfeng City.

"Where did you two come from?!"

"We, we are the family members of the Lin family in Qingfeng City!"

"Oh? Who are you? ”

"Well, that's our patriarch......"

Xu Ning was shocked! I didn't expect it to be a person from Qingfeng City! He hurried over to help the three men up and led them to sit down by the campfire. The three of them looked overly frightened, and they didn't understand why Xu Ning was so polite to them. One by one, they were terrified.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Ning said, "Since you are from the Lin family in Qingfeng City. You should know me. ”

"Oh? ......"

Xu Ning hurriedly took off his cloak, revealing his full face.

"Oh...... You are...... It looks familiar...... "The three of them looked at Xu Ning's face by the light of the bonfire, racking their brains and thinking.

"I'm Xu Ning of the Xu family in Qingfeng City."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Xu Ning...... Yes! ”

The three of them screamed at the same time, and the Qianlong above his head almost shot the arrow! She was completely sure that she could shoot through three people in different positions with one arrow!

"Don't shout! Tell me, what's going on with you?! How could someone from the Lin family appear in this place! Xu Ning asked eagerly.

"Xu, Patriarch Xu. This thing is so bizarre and terrifying! We were originally going to deliver a batch of goods, and you should know that all the families in Qingfeng City are in the arms business, so their whereabouts are very secret. But on the way, we encountered robbers, who knew everything about our whereabouts. Even our offensive and defensive skills are well understood! ”

"Oh, I met a robber." Xu Ning let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's not too bad, there are always some people who take risks." ”

"No, Patriarch Xu, this matter is not that simple!" One of the people from the Lin family trembled and said: "The robber is none other than a woman, and you should know this woman!" ”

"Oh, woman?" Xu Ning was stunned, "Who is it?!" ”

"Shangguan Yunyan!"

"What?!" Xu Ning was stunned!

The people I know are not too much, and Lin Wudi's character of liking to offend people naturally has caused a lot of enemies. However, if it is said to be a robbery, it still makes Xu Ning feel incredible, there are many people who are bold in his acquaintance, but there are really not many people who dare to rob the Lin family, and now that he heard that it is Shangguan Yunyan, he feels even more impossible!

Shangguan Yunyan is the most clear person Xu Ning knows best, back then her two elder brothers, Shangguan Yunliang and Shangguan Yunba, tried to occupy Qingfeng City and were killed by the five major families, she never held a grudge, now for no reason, how could she rob the Lin family's goods?

"What about your people?" Xu Ning hurriedly asked, "Is it just the three of you left?!" ”

"Yes, the others are all dead!"

"The person who started it, could it be Shangguan Yunyan!"

"Who else but her!"

"It's impossible!" Xu Ning was surprised, "How long have you been robbed?" ”

"It's been more than two hours! Just in front of the Lion Hills, the three of us fled here in a panic, and we had already lost our way. I didn't expect to meet Patriarch Xu here. ”

"Two hours?" Xu Ning thought quickly, "It's still a day's journey away from Qingfeng City, if it's really Shangguan Yunyan, she will definitely go back." Now that the rain is heavy, and the sky is already dark, it must be too late to chase it! ”

He waved his hand at the Qianlong above, and he had already jumped on the war horse!

"You three have a good rest, and you can use my carriage and horses to go back!" Remember, this must be kept secret! (To be continued......)
