Chapter 40: Qingfeng City
The Qingcheng Mountain branch occupies nearly eighty percent of the industry in the entire Qingfeng City, although it is a bit of a big move, but with the behemoth of Qingcheng Mountain as the backstage, even the royal family of the Gama Empire does not want to easily come to the trouble of the Qingcheng Mountain Branch, although Qingcheng Mountain is no longer at the top as it was back then, but now it is also an existence that can be compared with the royal family of the Gama Empire, so in the entire Qingfeng City, the Qingcheng Mountain Branch is almost the existence of the earth overlord, and it is obvious that some people dare to provoke at will.
After a week's long journey, Night Star and Ling'er finally gradually approached the sphere of influence of Qingfeng City, and when a round scorching sun slowly rose directly above the sky, the outline of a huge city that exuded a trace of ancient war finally slowly appeared in the sight of the two.
Night Star and the two came to a place a few hundred meters outside Qingfeng City and stopped, taking a short rest, mainly considering that they had now arrived at the Gama Empire, the power of Qingcheng Mountain was huge, and Night Star had to be careful to hide his identity, and secondly, Ling'er also had to dress up a little to avoid some unnecessary trouble, after the two of them rested, they each changed into a wide black robe, and the loose robe just completely wrapped the bodies of the two of them, and after careful inspection, the two of them followed the official road and walked slowly towards the huge city not far aheadใ
Walking close to the city wall, the night star raised his head, and what caught his eye was the three golden characters on the city gate,
"Green Maple City"
It is worthy of being a heavy city in the northwest of the Gama Empire, three or four times larger than the sand city, the city gate is as high as fifty-five meters, the city wall is eighty-eight meters high, a pair of heavily armed soldiers are holding spears, patrolling expressionlessly, revealing the killing atmosphere, dozens of heavily armed soldiers at the city gate stand solemnly on both sides of the city wall, sharp eyes, constantly sweeping in the crowd coming and going.
Looking at the almost solemn guard, the night star in the crowd frowned, although this is an imperial city, it seems that the defense is a little unexpected, could it be that something happened recently?
Shaking his head slightly puzzled, the two of them quietly lined up behind the line, and slowly walked towards the city with the flow of people.
"Hey, it's been getting tougher lately, damn, I don't know what's going on lately?" During the queue, several men in mercenary costumes in front of Nightstar whispered to each other in front of them, either out of boredom.
"Hey, you don't know this, you know the mysterious abyss of Blue Wolf Mountain, I heard that Qingcheng Mountain inadvertently detected an ancient cave mansion inside."
"Really, where did you hear that?" A mercenary asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, our mercenary captain was drunk and inadvertently confided it, the upper echelons of the mercenary world have known about it for a long time, and now it is estimated that it is slowly spreading, this is not Qingcheng Mountain wants to eat alone, the city lord's mansion lord was furious when he learned about it, I estimate that there will be a good show to watch." After the man finished speaking, the mercenaries around him echoed and chuckled.
Standing behind the team, listening to the conversation between several mercenaries, Night Star's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled: "Since we met, I can't say I want to have some fun."
"Do you want to intervene?" can you get out of the two major forces?" Ling'er asked with a frown.
"Hehe, Ling'er, you know that I have an irresolvable hatred with Qingcheng Mountain, and I can add some blockage, how can I let it go, and besides, I can't say it, isn't there still you and Ash." Nightstar smiled faintly.
"I'm not going to make a move, you can ask for your own blessings, at most I'll let Ash do it when your life is in danger. Ling'er hugged the gray gray who was sleeping in her arms and said indifferently.
Nightstar smiled slightly after hearing this, but didn't care, looking up at the team that was about to enter his turn, just wanted to move forward. Suddenly, there was the sound of horses' hooves not far behind him, and he turned his head to look back. Not far away, a team of more than a dozen people on horseback was galloping over, kicking up large clouds of dust along the way, and making smoke from the popular seven orifices of the people waiting in line, but when they looked angrily at the first man on horseback, the anger in their hearts was suddenly forcibly swallowed.
The first man on horseback, about fifteen years old, wearing a slim gorgeous brocade suit, a long black hair scattered with the movement, the handsome face is very fascinated by some unworldly girls, the sight of the man in the brocade suit, did not stop because of the trouble he brought to the queue of people by driving the horse, just rode a fast horse by himself, led a group of people behind him, and rushed into the city gate in the helpless and slightly angry eyes of those guard soldiers.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and some dissatisfied invectives sounded in the queue behind them.
"Damn, isn't it just that he is the grandson of the elder of the outer gate of the Qingcheng Mountain Branch? โ
Listening to the low scolding sound behind him, Yexing smiled faintly, squinting slightly at the place where the man in brocade had left just now, and the corners of his mouth rose to reveal a hint of evil smile. Then he straightened his black robe, and under the careful examination of the guards, he slowly walked into the city.
Standing at the exit of the city wall, looking up at the lively shops on both sides of the street, the dense and endless flow of people in front of him couldn't help but let out an exclamation in his heart, it is worthy of being the largest city in the northwestern provinces of the Gama Empire, this kind of flow of people and prosperity is probably comparable to the Black Maple City seen in the Golden Maple Empire last time.
Standing on the street, looking at Ling'er beside him, who had become unnatural for a while due to the noise around him, Night Star habitually touched the tip of his nose, and chuckled at Ling'er on the side: "After a week's journey, why don't we find a place to rest first, and then inquire about the mysterious abyss of Blue Wolf Mountain by the way?"
"Well, good". Hearing this, Ling'er raised her eyes lightly, nodded slightly, and showed joy on her face, although Ling'er is a demonic beast, anti-fatigue, and toughness are much higher than that of the night star, but when she thinks of being able to stop and rest, she can drink the liquor that this person reminishes, and her heart is a little beating, so she naturally will not object.
Seeing Ling'er nodding, Yexing smiled understandingly, and took the lead towards the street, slowly moving forward along the flow of people.
Turning through a few lively streets along the flow of people, he looked at a luxury restaurant called Shilaixian on the side street, and said to Ling'er on the side: "It looks like the name is good, why don't you rest here for one night?"
"Well, yes," Ling'er nodded calmly.
The two of them walked into this luxurious restaurant.
