After a while, a person rode a horse and galloped in front of Ling Yan, and after the person on the horse saw the faces of Ling Yan and You Heng clearly, he hurriedly dismounted and hugged his fists: "General You!" General Ling led a large group of men to greet the two generals! ”

Ling Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After speaking, this person shouted behind him: "It's General You!" ”

Soon after the words were spoken, more than a hundred horses galloped in, all of them light cavalry armed with torches.

As soon as these cavalry arrived in front of Ling Yan, they immediately split into two teams, left and right, leaving a road in between.

Just when Ling Yan was puzzled, a fast horse galloped from this road. Ling Yan looked carefully, but the person on the horse was Ling Renxiang.

Ling Yan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly jumped off the horse.

Ling Renxiang didn't wait for his mount to stop, he turned over and jumped off his horse, and ran in front of Ling Yan in a few steps.

"Brother! Are you okay? Ling Renxiang looked Ling Yan up and down, with a nervous and anxious expression.

Ling Yan was very moved: "I'm fine...... What are you doing here? ”

Ling Renxiang said anxiously: "Before, my subordinates caught a soldier who fled back, and he said that you were in danger. I'm afraid that something will happen to you, so I'll bring someone to find you quickly! ”

Ling Yan was so moved that he hurriedly said, "Thank you!" I'm really fine! There was some danger just now, but fortunately, General Youheng saved me. ”

"Oh?" Ling Renxiang looked at You Heng, "Thank you, General." ”

You Heng nodded slightly: "The subordinates should do their duty." ”

Ling Renxiang looked at Ling Yan again: "Brother, then let's go back first and have a big meal!" ”

Saying this, Ling Yan's stomach couldn't stand it anymore, and he hurriedly agreed: "Okay! Walk! ”

Because he had to gallop all the way back to the city, Ling Yan had no choice but to ride the same horse with You Heng again, but this time, it was not as embarrassing as the first time.

After a large group of people returned to the city, Ling Renxiang first asked Ling Yan to take a bath and change clothes.

Ling Yan originally wanted to change into an ancient costume, but Ling Renxiang disagreed, so he let Ling Yan change into a set of modern clothes, and explained that it was safer to wear modern clothes. Ling Yan was moved again, and followed Ling Renxiang's advice.

Before eating, Ling Yan and Ling Renxiang chatted for a while in a small room. Ling Yan roughly talked about the process of finding a strange stone and encountering a wild wolf.

After Ling Renxiang heard this, he was still a little afraid: "Brother, that soldier came back and said that you were in danger, which frightened me at that time." ”

"Well, I was scared of that, too." When Ling Yan thought about it, he still had palpitations.

Ling Renxiang looked at Ling Yan and suddenly smiled slyly: "Brother, I sent him to accompany you to find the strange stone, it's not wrong." ”

Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "yes, I didn't expect him to be able to practice ......"

Ling Renxiang said with a smile: "The reason why I didn't kill him is because I see that he is very loyal to the lord, and second, because I see that he will still have some internal qi." ”

Ling Yan said strangely: "Huh? Don't you say that the more faithful you are, the more you can't keep? ”

Ling Renxiang said with a smile: "Yes, but that mainly refers to military generals, as for Wen generals, it is not so absolute." ”

Ling Yan recalled the determination You Heng had made on the road, so he tentatively said with some worry: "That...... You're not afraid he'll ......"

Ling Renxiang smiled disapprerovingly: "Are you afraid that he will take revenge?" Hehe...... Of course not afraid, his little bit of internal qi will not pose any threat to us. ”

Ling Yan had seen the consequences of that wolf being hit by You Heng's internal qi, and now when he heard Ling Renxiang say "it doesn't pose a threat to him", Ling Yan couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, it seemed that Ling Renxiang must have a more powerful "weapon".

Ling Renxiang suddenly lowered his voice to a very low level: "Brother, what about the two strange stones?" ”

"Oh, here." Ling Yan took out the two pendants from his two pockets and carefully placed them in Ling Renxiang's hands.

When Ling Renxiang saw the pendant, the expression on his face was very excited, he put the pendant in front of the oil lamp one by one, looked at it carefully, and then said happily: "Great! ”

"What's wrong?" Ling Yan asked strangely.

Ling Renxiang mysteriously motioned for Ling Yan to move forward, then put one of the pendants in front of the oil lamp, and whispered to Ling Yan, "Brother, look carefully." ”

Ling Yan took a look: "It's nothing." ”

"Brother, take a closer look inside."

Ling Yan looked at it carefully again, and finally found a strange phenomenon: under the reflection of the light, a few lines faintly appeared in the white pendant, which looked like the ancient word "earth".

Ling Yan was stunned: "Is this a 'soil' word?" ”

Ling Renxiang smiled slightly: "Well, yes." So saying, he changed another pendant and placed it in front of the oil lamp.

This time, Ling Yan saw that there seemed to be an ancient word "wood" inside the pendant.

"'Wood'?"

Ling Renxiang smiled and nodded.

Ling Yan straightened up and asked Ling Renxiang strangely, "There are words in there, what do they mean?" ”

Ling Renxiang gently placed the pendant on the table, and then smiled at Ling Yan: "Brother, do you know why the punch you made before had so much power?" ”

Ling Yan was stunned and said, "Why? ”

"Becauseβ€”" Ling Renxiang pointed at one of the pendants with the word "wood" on it, "You had it with you at the time." ”

Ling Yan remembered that there was a pendant that he didn't have time to hand over to You Heng, but what did it have to do with great strength?

"Brother, it actually saved your life." Ling Renxiang picked up the pendant.

"What the hell is going on?" The more Ling Yan listened, the more confused he became.

Ling Renxiang smiled and explained, "Brother, don't you know, in addition to being able to take us through, strange stones also have another important role. ”

"What does it do?" Ling Yan asked impatiently.

Ling Renxiang smiled: "It can help us sort the internal qi cleansing, and then improve our special ability." ”

Ling Yan didn't understand a word.

Ling Renxiang continued: "To put it simply, it can enhance our single attribute. ”

"Well," Ling Yan nodded, "It's simpler." ”

Ling Renxiang laughed: "The easiest way to explain it is the cultivation upgrade in the fantasy novel. ”

"Oh!" Saying this, Ling Yan understood a little, "It's like what is written in the novel, use it to upgrade?" ”

"Hmm...... Almost," Ling Renxiang didn't seem to fully agree with Ling Yan's statement, but he didn't refute it, "That is, we can use it to enhance some of our abilities." ”

Ling Yan finally understood: "Oh...... So that's it...... No wonder when I threw my fist at that time, I really felt a force in my body coming out of my fist! ”

"Well, yes, that's what it does." Ling Renxiang nodded, "So it saved you, and even if You Heng didn't get angry at that time, the last wolf wouldn't be your opponent, as long as you reacted quickly enough." ”

"Uh-huh." Ling Yan was secretly glad that the wolf attack was really timely enough, if it waited any longer, and when I handed over another pendant to You Heng, it would probably ......

"Another thing is that I am very lucky." Ling Renxiang said again.

"What else?"

"Brother, if you left this piece at that time-" Ling Renxiang pointed to another piece on the table, which had the word "soil" written on it, "It is estimated that it is also more auspicious." ”

Ling Yan was taken aback: "There is also a difference?" ”

"Yes!" Ling Yan smiled and nodded, "This strange stone will only increase your internal qi pure strength, but it will not increase your strength. ”

Ling Yan didn't understand either, but he didn't bother to explore, and directly pointed to the "wooden" pendant in Ling Renxiang's hand: "What about this piece?" ”

Ling Renxiang replied, "This strange stone will transform the internal qi in your body into the power of muscles, plus your own strength, it is the full power of that punch you throw." ”

Ling Yan didn't seem to understand, he pointed to the "soil" on the table again: "Then this ......"

Ling Renxiang patiently explained, "That block will only increase the strength of your internal qi, but for people like you who don't have a cultivation foundation, increasing your internal qi basically has no effect. ”

Ling Yan still didn't understand Ling Renxiang's words too much, but one thing was quite clear to him: he finally knew how difficult it was for him to come back alive!

"Brother, how do you know so much about strange stones?" Ling Yan suddenly remembered this question.

Ling Renxiang smiled mysteriously: "Brother, we don't know everything comprehensively, and a lot of it is through speculation and calculation. ”

"Huh? Can this also be calculated? Ling Yanqi said, "Then how do you calculate it?" ”

"Huh...... I'll tell you about this later. Ling Renxiang smiled evilly.

Ling Yan smiled indifferently, and thought to himself: It's over, we have to wait for 'later' again.

Ling Renxiang carefully put the two strange stones in front of Ling Yan: "Brother, you must put it away, don't lose it." ”

Ling Yan thought about it, put the two strange stones in front of the oil lamp and looked at them again, then put away the "wood" strange stone, and brought the "earth" strange stone to Ling Renxiang: "I will leave that 'wood' for self-defense, and I will carry it with me...... This piece of 'soil', I'll give it to you first, it's useless for me to hold it, you might be able to keep it to help you cultivate or something, right? Moreover, I still have something to do here, and I can't travel back in time for the time being. ”

Ling Renxiang was very excited: "Brother? Really gave it to me? ”

Ling Yan nodded: "Well, as long as I want to travel back in the future, just give it to me." ”

"Hmm!" Ling Renxiang nodded heavily, and held the "earth" strange stone in his hand with joy, "Thank you, brother!" ”

Ling Yan smiled faintly: "It should be me who thank you." You brought so many people to save me when I was in danger. ”

Ling Renxiang also smiled: "Of course, are you my brother!" ”

After collecting the curiosity stone, Ling Renxiang's face suddenly became a little worried: "Brother, you must be careful in the future." ”

Ling Yan said half-jokingly: "Well, I will never go to any deep mountains and old forests in the future." ”

Ling Renxiang shook his head gently: "It's not just that...... You Heng shouldn't be a threat to me, but to you, it may be fatal. ”

Ling Yan understood what Ling Renxiang meant, and hurriedly said, "No!" He helped me at the time! ”

Ling Renxiang was a little worried: "Is it to help you, I don't dare to say this...... Perhaps, his cultivation was not in place and he went astray. ”

Ling Yan hurriedly denied Ling Renxiang's opinion: "Brother, he really wants to help me!" Believe me, he will never harm me! ”

Ling Renxiang reluctantly said, "Okay, I'll find out about this matter later...... Brother, even if he didn't want to hurt you at the time, you should try not to get too close to him, people like them who are loyal to the old master are very hostile to us, after all, we don't belong to the same world as him. ”

Ling Yan didn't speak, because Ling Renxiang's words were basically rightβ€”You Heng did have extreme hatred for Ling Renxiang and them. Ling Yan was still very worried about Ling Renxiang's safety before, but since he was aware of this problem, he should have taken precautions, which made Ling Yan feel a lot more relieved.

"That's it! Brother, don't talk about that! Let's go eat! Ling Renxiang suggested with a smile.

Ling Yan's stomach had issued several "warnings", and when he heard that he was going to eat, he hurriedly said, "Okay!" Good! Let's go, let's eat! I'm starving! ”

Ling Renxiang took Ling Yan to the "banquet hall".

Ling Yan was first greatly surprised by the decoration of the banquet hall - there was gold everywhere, either gold or agate, which in ancient times seemed extremely luxurious.

When Ling Yan saw the civil and military generals standing in two rows at the foot of the steps, he was greatly surprised by the pomp and circumstance of the meal - he thought that it was just him and Ling Renxiang having a light meal, but he never thought that he would make such a big show.

Ling Yan looked at the "master's table" again, but there were two seats, one in the middle and one next to it, and it was obvious that the one next to it was added temporarily.

Ling Renxiang led Ling Yan to the front of the master's table, and then said loudly to the civil and military generals below: "Everyone, before the banquet, I will introduce you to a person-" As he spoke, he gestured towards Ling Yan, and then said to the bottom, "This is my brother, his name is Ling Yan, and the generals can call him General Yan in the future." ”

Ling Yan understood what Ling Renxiang meant, they had the same surname, and there would be a misunderstanding if they were both called "General Ling".

"See General Ling!" The civil and military generals below clasped their fists and said in unison.

Ling Yan didn't expect that Ling Renxiang would raise himself to such a high position after knowing him for less than a day, and he couldn't help but feel very flattered...... Don't be so polite......"

Ling Renxiang couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Ling Yan found that there was a person who did not give him a salute. At the same time that he discovered this situation, Ling Renxiang also happened to introduce him to the "rude" person.

Ling Renxiang pointed to the person at the top of the left row and said to Ling Yan: "Brother, this is General Lu Tiecheng." ”

The man, Lu Tiecheng, was about thirty years old and dressed in modern clothes. Seeing Ling Yan looking at him, he didn't speak, just smiled at Ling Yan slightly.

Ling Yan also smiled at Lu Tiecheng, he understood why Lu Tiecheng didn't clasp his fists and salute - they were both modern, and Lu Tiecheng was also older.

Ling Renxiang smiled at Ling Yan and said, "General Lu specially came from Suke City to attend the banquet. ”

Ling Yan had no choice but to say a polite word: "It's hard work General Lu." "But I was thinking: Suke City? What a strange name!

Lu Tiecheng still didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

Ling Renxiang attached himself to Ling Yan's ear and whispered, "Brother, the rest of the generals, let's introduce them slowly in the future." ”

Ling Yan also whispered back: "Okay, okay, then let's serve it directly." ”

Ling Renxiang held back a laugh again, and turned his head to look at the generals in the audience: "Generals, please take a seat!" ”

Everyone clasped their fists again: "General Xie Ling!" With that, they sat down in unison.

Just now, Ling Yan secretly glanced at Lu Tiecheng and found that he also hugged his fists with others and thanked him. However, Ling Yan thought very openly: Ling Renxiang is the real general, I am just a newcomer, and the treatment must be different.

After Ling Renxiang and Ling Yan also sat down, Ling Renxiang said to the generals again: "Before the banquet, there is still one more thing to deal with. ”

"......," Ling Yan thought in his heart.

Ling Renxiang shouted outside the hall: "Bring it up!" ”
