Chapter 85: The Price

"The Grand Trial? What is the Grand Trial? Why the Great Trial? Lin Ji asked three times in a row, and he tried hard to think about her appearance, but he didn't know if it was because the veil was too obstructive or because her brain was not good, and he couldn't remember.

The soldier thought to himself, didn't you hear it just now, and he repeated again: "She is the holy daughter of the Holy Sect......"

Bang, bang, bang, bang......

Lin Ji knocked over the remaining half pot of beef soup.

She is the holy daughter of the Holy Religion.

It's not the fairy sister, it's the holy daughter of the Holy Sect.

Lin Ji was a little disappointed, and then laughed at himself, how can there be any fairies in this world, he is really stupid.

But Lin Ji still got up and walked out.

"Commander Lin! You can't walk around yet! The soldier was looking down to clean up half a pot of beef soup that had been knocked over the ground, but suddenly saw Lin Ji running out, and he hurried to stop it.

But Lin Ji's stubborn temper attacked, the three cows couldn't pull him back, Lin Ji picked out a wooden stick out of nowhere to use as a crutch, he resolutely and slowly supported the wooden stick and moved towards the empty square in Lanting City.

The rain didn't go as promised, but it was only late.

Just after Lin Ji and the others recovered from their near-death experience, fell into a deep sleep and were settled, the sky finally exuded its dissatisfaction, and a heavy rain worthy of hundreds of heroic spirits came. The heavy rain hindered the post-war work, but it also washed away the gloomy smell of blood in the city.

The rain had stopped, and Lin Ji walked forward in the muddy water with a wooden stick.

Lin Ji is a very Lanting person, very straightforward and simple, except for the rare secrets that should be hidden deep in his heart, he said everything.

Wake up from your slumber again, there is no hell, no heaven, no demons and no angels, only the broken Lan Ting and the unbroken self.

Lin Ji walked, he felt stupid, he shouldn't have given up his life so easily. In addition to waking up again, he also has the fear and fear of unknown death.

It's easy to give up, but how do you pay the price?

Lin Ji was lucky, and his price was paid by Xu Lingling.

That's why when he heard the news of the trial, he was so flustered and uneasy.

There are things that don't need argument to get a final answer, such as when he wakes up he knows that he must have a huge debt for his life, and he doesn't know if he can pay it off. When he still saw his brothers who were sleeping peacefully, he knew that the debt could not be paid.

Lin Ji hoped that the person who saved him would be someone from his own side, so that even if he couldn't pay it off, he would have an explanation. It's just that...... He looked up at the darkening sky, which was cloudy today, but there were no white clouds.

The one who saved him was the Holy Maiden, and the one who saved his brothers was also the Holy Maiden of the Holy Religion.

However, the people who attacked Lan Ting and killed his brother were also Templars of the Holy Church.

Now, when we meet again, should I thank me or draw a sword, how do you want me to repay this kindness and hatred? Lin Ji's pace was slow and heavy, just like his longing to pause in his thoughts.

Xu Lingling and the Templars who belonged directly to her had been in the square for a whole day, and the City Lord's Mansion had not yet made a specific decision, but they were not allowed to leave the square. Xu Lingling and the others had no choice but to occupy a corner of the square, and the Templars tried their best to maintain Xu Lingling's freedom in this corner.

Although the Castle Lord's Mansion was indecided, the situation was not optimistic, as the people in the city did not have a favorable opinion of the Holy Religion due to the Templar invasion, and a lot of conflicts broke out in a single day. However, the Templars such as Xie Xiyan were too sensitive to their identities and could only passively fight back, not daring to add fuel to this tense situation.

"Miss, let's have something to eat." Xie Xiyan brought a bun wrapped in lotus leaves from nowhere, because he had been held in his arms, it was still hot.

Xu Lingling looked at Xie Xiyan, whose clothes were splashed with mud and her hair was messy, and she smiled.

"Eat, I'm not hungry." Xu Lingling shook his head.

"Miss! Don't go hungry at this time! Xie Xiyan insisted on giving it to Xu Lingling. The origin of his bun is not small, there is already a large circle of people in the square, the Templars want to protect Xu Lingling, and they dare not fight back when they are beaten, so they can only carefully maintain a large circle and circle Xu Lingling in the center of the circle. This bun was exchanged for a gold coin and a blind old woman from a bun shop when Xie Xiyan sneaked out to inquire about the news.

"You're becoming more and more like a butler." Xu Lingling laughed playfully, she pushed the bun over, "You are more tired than me, give it to those who need it most." ”

"This ......" Xie Xiyan also knew that it was impossible for Xu Lingling to eat this bun at this time, but he still wanted to make some efforts.

"Divide it." Xu Lingling continued.

"Good!" Xie Xiyan broke open the bun, but pinched some hard objects.

If you look closer, the inside of the bun is filled with some sand and stones.

"Damn it!" Xie Xiyan realized that he had been tricked, and he regretted that "I thought she was blind and couldn't recognize me......"

Xu Lingling took the bun, she gently pulled out the sand and stones, and turned the bun into a steamed bun.

"It's quite fragrant." Xu Lingling took the half hollowed-out bun and showed it off in front of Xie Xiyan, making him cry and laugh. Xu Lingling knew that this bun couldn't be distinguished, so he ate it directly.

"Miss, you shouldn't have saved them, this heart... It's a stone......" Xie Xiyan watched Xu Lingling eat the dough that couldn't tell whether it was a bun or a steamed bun, and he was very distressed.

"She's blind, no wonder she's." Xu Lingling pointed behind Xie Xiyan, "Go ahead, over there." ”

But it was Qin Zhirou who sent some food, Xie Xiyan took it, and Xu Lingling shook his head at him: "I have eaten." ”

Shesyan sighed as he had to distribute them to the other Templars who were still struggling to maintain their defensive circles.

The moment Xie Xiyan turned around, hot tears overflowed from the corners of the eyes of the two of them, and grievances and unwillingness were written all over the different faces of the two. Xie Xiyan didn't dare to look back at Xu Lingling again, he couldn't give more help, he could only stop adding to Xu Lingling's burden.

Xu Lingling didn't say anything more, Xie Xiyan's distant back made her even more lonely, she tilted her head to make the tears overflow more slowly, but she still couldn't stop the emotion of writing tears and reading grievances.

I have obviously done everything I can do, but why is the human heart made of stone?

Xu Lingling knew that she couldn't deceive herself, and the tears would still gush out unstoppably, so she had to squat down quietly, she took off her veil, took out a very white handkerchief and wiped it for herself.

This is the handkerchief that he deliberately did not return on the bank of the Lanshui River, and he used this handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth stained with sugar water for himself.

Does it count as seeing things and thinking about people? She didn't know, maybe she just wanted someone to wipe away her tears for herself, and he wasn't there. Xu Lingling didn't mind, Jingliangcheng had always been very cold, she was used to being lonely and used to being alone, and she was used to all the hardships being shared by her alone. Her strength is very gentle, but this time, Xu Lingling doesn't know if she can continue to be gentle.

Because of the attack on Oasis City, she had a legitimate reason to stay in Lanting temporarily, this was his home, but not hers.

And her home is being invaded.

I'm standing in front of your house, but that's probably the closest we're at.

Everything was fine in Lan Ting's life, until Si Boluo suddenly raised troops to besiege him, and Xu Lingling was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do, so he had to do some good deeds that he could, distribute food, and heal people. Later, Lanting City was broken, and she took care of everyone wholeheartedly, and even revealed her identity when she was in danger, openly opposing Siboluo's subordinates, just to protect the people of Lanting City.

I've done everything I could. Xu Lingling is not without her own selfishness, when she heals and saves people, she will quietly think about whether she is helping him, as if she has become half a hostess, she will occasionally be happy. It's just that the reality is too cruel, this daughter-in-law who has never been through the door at all is not liked by her in-laws.

Xu Lingling is uncomfortable, this grievance is also mixed with a lot of personal emotions, which are tears that can't be wiped away with his handkerchief.

"Kill the witch! The people of the Holy Church are devils! "But there are new people outside, it is the still alive Lan Court defenders, and they are shouting that they will execute the remnants of this group of Holy Sects, bringing a new rhythm to the originally much calmer square.

Xu Lingling stood up again, there were some things she could only face, and no one could help her stop them.

Lin Ji also happened to walk to the square, and he, like everyone else, fell into a long silence.

Xie Xiyan also noticed this unusual movement, he turned his head, and said in his heart, sure enough...... He had another bout of angina.

No matter how many times, when he saw Xu Lingling's face, he would feel amazing.

Xu Lingling's face was still stained with tears, and her eyebrows were no longer often smiling, this time there was a more vivid emotion, and everyone felt her sadness at this moment. At this moment, Xu Lingling is less sacred than before, more like a girl living in this world, a sad, aggrieved, and extremely beautiful and lovable girl.

What Lin Ji didn't expect was that she would be so beautiful, beyond his highest expectations and imagination, and in just an instant, he fell.

"Witch... Enchantress! Enchantress! ”

However, it was not only the men who were present, the women were jealous by nature, they reacted faster, and they immediately became an important part of the crusade army.

And the nature of men is to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, but behind this nature is just pig arch cabbage. The scene began to become more chaotic, and people may take good care of their treasures at home, but they will never leave the treasures in front of them and not fight for them.

Lin Ji subconsciously wanted to touch the hilt of the knife on his waist, but found that this time he did not have a sword.

Xu Lingling quietly looked at the frantic crowd, she looked at the Templars who were injured to protect herself, she wanted them to stop, and there would be no unnecessary casualties.

Someone always has to pay the price, the pain and hatred inflicted by the Holy Religion, if they can......

Xu Lingling thought about it, if he died in Lanting, what would that person think, would he regret it and blame himself, even if it was instantaneous?

Lin Ji was already ready, no matter what, even if he took his life this time, he couldn't let the holy daughter of the Holy Sect die here, he blended into the crowd and squeezed forward. The Templar defense could no longer hold back the crowd, and Shesyan turned back in despair and anger, as long as these sluts dared to touch the Holy Maiden, even if he became a devil, they were bound to pay the price.

Xu Lingling smiled miserably, she knew what Xie Xiyan's glance represented.

Lin Ji was still squeezing forward, Xie Xiyan was at the critical point of the outbreak, and Xu Lingling was quietly waiting for his execution.

"Enough!" Everyone's movements were interrupted by the thunderclap.

A white horse came from the north of the city.
