Chapter 155: No Rest
The way back is not too long. It's just that when I came, I walked the spiritual vein, and compared to going over the mountains and mountains, it was naturally instantaneous. The comparison between the two inevitably makes people feel tired. Although you don't stay at the bottom of the sea for too long, it will take a lot of time on the road, and you must return as soon as possible within the time limit set by the incense god.
Once again, when the sun rose in the middle of the sky, the outline of the Martial King City became clear in the sunlight from far to near. The magnificent city walls seem to be more old, more than the majesty of the first sight, revealing more wordless vicissitudes. It's only been a few days, and it's not the royal city in their eyes that has changed, but their gaze and mentality.
For the Wuwang City under the management of the Jun family's father and daughter, they secretly had expectations, and they didn't dare to speculate on what they didn't know. They don't even know what happened after Jun Aoyan turned back to find her father. On the way, they also mentioned it more than once, it seemed that the decision to leave Jun Aoyan behind was a bit hasty, but there was no better choice at that time.
Fortunately, as soon as they entered the city gate, they were surrounded by the same bustling voices as before. The change of ruler did not affect the residents of the capital at all, and the guards at the base of the city wall were still mainly Shura, and there was no difference in expression, and they were still unsmiling and businesslike.
There were many pedestrians passing through the city gates, and they entered the city first, and then they looked around, intending to find the guards who patrolled the city and led them to the interior of the royal city. At a glance, they noticed that the stalls on both sides of the street were no longer full of weapons and armor. There are more stalls selling household utensils, and some stalls have scattered ornaments or strange-looking carved ornaments. There are also many restaurants, and it is lunch time, and the bursts of aroma hook Qi Huan's saliva.
He suggested that everyone have a meal and then go to find the two, and Liu Shenghan had no objection. Although Bai Ya is not greedy for appetite, now looking at the thriving scene here, his heart is mostly stable, and he expects to go to see Jun Chaojiu and Jun Aoyan, and he is not in a hurry for this time.
Two of the three companions nodded, and Qi Huan raised his feet and was about to run to the restaurant, but he heard Frost Moon Jun say:
"Go by yourselves. I'll take a casual look. β
He followed silently for a long time, and Qi Huan almost forgot that he would have a dissent. Come to think of it, the six realms of impermanence do not need to eat and drink, and Frost Moon Jun is the best among them, this is the master who can even save his breath as long as he does not die.
What's moreβBai Ya followed Frost Moon Jun's line of sight to the familiar intersection, which was the direction leading to the ring. Even if the atmosphere of the Martial Kingdom and the National Capital has quietly changed, Frost Moon Jun is the same person as ever, in addition to focusing on how to lift the curse, he has no interest in fighting martial arts. He thought about it, as if he had nothing to ask for Frost Moon Jun, so he nodded indifferently:
"You know where to look for us."
Frost Moon Jun had already taken a step on his own, and when he heard this, he casually raised his hand to signal that he heard. Sure enough, he went to the ring. Bai Ya watched him disappear into the crowd, turned around and lifted the curtain of the restaurant, and followed in.
I have to admit that he also misses his normal meals a little. Even though the food of the Takekuni is coarse, it is better than gnawing raw fish in the sea. Qi Huan's interest was very high, if he wasn't still thinking about finding Jun Aoyan, he would have wanted to order a table of wine and food to not get drunk. Now that he still has something in mind, he suppressed this thought.
Having eaten and drunk, they stopped wandering in the streets, grabbed a patrolling guard, and explained the origin and purpose of the three of them in a few words. Shura was a little skeptical, but then his colleagues recognized the outsider who had just shown off his skills in the ring. When the guards found their commander, the older Shura immediately understood:
"The little general told me a few days ago to pay attention to any unfamiliar faces in the city, three men and one woman, and a young man carrying a black and white scimitar...... Presumably, you're the one she's looking for, right? β
The "little general" in his mouth is probably Jun Aoyan, and they remember that her father was called a general by the Shura here. Since Jun Aoyan has explained, it is naturally not a problem to enter the city to see her. The elder Shura immediately led them to the inner city, and when he asked if they had any companions, Qi Huan briefly described the characteristics of Frost Moon so that he could find someone to lead him when he followed.
However, even if the Assassin entered the city by himself, it would probably be as if he had returned to his own home.
They did not go to the main hall of the palace, but the older guards took them to a side hall and waited, and they themselves went in to deliver the message. Soon, with a rush of footsteps, they saw Jun Aoyan appear at the door with her Mo knife.
After a long absence, they were somewhat embarrassed, and subconsciously wanted to see some changes. It's a pity that they can't tell that she is fat or thin, it seems that she is tanned, and it seems that she is not. At first glance, her temperament is becoming more and more capable and confident, and she is more and more like a strategic general than a brave warrior, no wonder she is called a "little general" by Shura.
She must have seen them, and the brightness in her eyes was like two flames flickering in the wind. At that moment she seemed happy, but soon frowned, and a grumbling stomach was about to pop out of her mouth. She clenched the Mo knife tightly, frowning, and her pursed mouth was indeed full of swearing.
"You, you peopleβ"
"Hey, Miss Jun, Miss Liu and I are both injured! If you have nowhere to go, Lao Bai will be beaten even more......"
Qi Huan silently took half a step back, joking in his mouth. She looked like she really wanted to punch them twice. But when he came to the front, Ao Yan's teeth tightened and tightened, and finally hugged Liu Shenghan. Her arm trembled slightly:
"It's great that you're still alive." She let go of the cold and glared at the two of them angrily, "Look who will collect your body if you die!" "Ouou e-book
"Wow, don't assume that even if you survive with us, you can't do it." Qi Huan didn't seem to be convinced.
"Each other. I see you're doing well, too, pretty well. Bai Ya said seriously.
Qi Huan rolled his eyes on the side.
Soon, Jun Aoyan calmed down his excitement, pulled Liu Shenghan, and took them into the hall to sit down and talk in detail. She didn't ask Frost Moon Jun again, thinking that Shura had already reported to her just now.
Jun Aoyan briefly recounted what happened in Wuguo during this time. The alternation of power was very smooth, and Jun Lanjiu only claimed to be the ruler of the military kingdom, and was in charge of the affairs of the kingdom until the new and recognized king ascended the throne. He has clear rewards and punishments, and he has no ambition to be the king and hegemon, and he is not above others. Shura who helped him can get corresponding rewards, and if he commits trouble, he also has his own iron fist to deal with it. He was originally in a high position under the queen, and the Shura respected him a little; In this way, it is also more recognized and respected.
The populace had no opinion, they only heard that the queen had sacrificed herself and that the rakshasa had been driven away forever. Even if they were skeptical, the city's garrison remained undiminished, reassuring them. Gradually, they also began to regain interest in things other than martial arts, which somewhat changed the original dull and vigilant atmosphere. Beginning to patrol with Jun Aoyan all day long, handling chores and chores, as the situation stabilized, the tasks on Aoyan were no longer heavy. However, Jun Chaojiu still insisted, and inspected the vicinity of the Temple of the God of War every day to ensure that there were no more ominous changes from outside the world.
Speaking of the Temple of the God of War that fought at that time, it is inevitable to mention the original difference. Needless to say, Jun Aoyan was a little complaining, but he could also figure out Bai Ya's actions that day. In contrast, she cares more about the story after they leave. So they started by chasing the Wu to the coast, and then talked about the various miracles under the sea of the Nine Heavens, and another magic weapon in hand. As their friend, Jun Aoyan cares more about details than Mu Yuejun, and the part to be narrated is more lengthy.
Before he finished speaking, the sun had sunk in the west. Jun Chaojiu followed Shura, who had led the way before, and greeted him for a while. He invited a few people to have dinner with him, and during the banquet he inevitably recounted their experiences. After listening to Muyuejun's response to a few people, Jun lowered his head and muttered for a while.
"So, your next plan is to break the rule of those gods, or ......?"
"The court's assistance is far away, and maybe no one will come at all." Bai Ya was straightforward, "It's better to rely on yourself to explore the remaining magic weapons." The deadline given by the incense god is approaching, and we will leave immediately, leave the martial country, and return to the incense country to resume our lives. If you have the chance, you can start from there and immediately start exploring the treasures of the gods of incense and songs. β
Jun Chaojiu bowed his head in agreement.
Indeed, self-reliance is the most reliable. In the Kingdom of the Nine Heavens, no one can know and no one can be trusted. But it's getting late, so let's take a break for the night before we set off. β
Jun Aoyan's expression was very complicated, as if he was struggling with something, and it was difficult to decide what kind of look to put on, so he froze in a state of stalemate. Jun Ranjiu looked at her and laughed, he patted his daughter and made up his mind for her:
"Let this girl pack up and go, she doesn't say anything, she's thinking about you all these days. Young people should not always be in a safe corner. β
They were not surprised, let alone dissent. Proud is their friend and an indispensable member of this team. Originally, they had planned to take her with them, or rather, they believed that she would definitely want to go with them.
"That's right...... One more thing. Bai Ya remembered something again, and said to Qi Huan, "Where is the box?" β
"What box?" Qi Huan, who was holding a chicken claw in one hand, was stunned for a moment.
ββ¦β¦ The blacksmith gave it to us. β
"Uh...... Oh! It's that, that. It's still there, it's here. β
Qi Huan put down the chicken feet, wiped his hand on the rag twice, and rummaged through the package. After all, there were so many treasures stuffed in their bags, except for the no-man's land by the sea, they didn't dare to throw them in the palace full of people and Shura so easily. Qi Huan rummaged for a long time, and finally took out a small and heavy wooden box and handed it to Jun Chaojiu.
"Hmm...... Sure enough, it's in your hands. He took it, looked up and down, and said, "The blacksmith said you had already given it to me, so I didn't say anything more." Well, it's still intact. β
Liu Shenghan said: "We are sorry for taking your things without permission...... I just heard that it was made of the same material as the iron you pierced into the statue, so I thought it might be used. But until now, the box hasn't been opened......"
"yes, it's just that kind of iron scraps. There's really nothing to do with that. Jun said with a smile, trying to open it, "It's a toy that Aoyan liked when he was a child, so I tried to re-hit it, Tu Yile, and it doesn't matter if I lose it." β
