Chapter 20: The Town Guards; Guping [Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!!] 】

"Well, let's go." Qian Fei said calmly.

"Will Grandpa ever come back?" The little girl asked.

"Maybe, not." Qian Fei continued to say calmly.

A touch of disappointment flashed in the little girl's eyes, this cowardly and cute little Lori felt that she had been abandoned......

Qian Fei gently pinched her soft little face and said with a smile: "However, there is still a brother."

Yu Ji raised her head, looked at Qian Fei's face, and suddenly laughed very happily, looking very excited.

Her world is so small, Qian Fei's shoulders are not broad or strong, but they are so warm and secure.

I don't know what to think of, the little girl's eyes narrowed slightly, like a crooked crescent moon, smiling sweetly.

The two sat together in the small courtyard under the moonlit night, enjoying a moment of tranquility together.

For a long time, the two of them didn't speak, and the last smile, the last estrangement between them completely disappeared, and their hearts were closely connected, listening to each other's heartbeats.

"Tomorrow, we will open, my brother will make runes, and the girl will sell them, okay?"

"Hmm!"

Nodding his head hard.

Yu Ji gently leaned on Qian Fei's shoulder, her eyes were slightly closed, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and her white and pink face was even more holy against the background of the moonlight.

Before she knew it, Yu Ji fell asleep.

……

At the same time, outside Longqi Town.

The moonlight is desolate, the dense forest is thick, and the white dew is rippling.

Although Longqi Town is just a town, the scale is not small at all, the continuous city wall spreads for hundreds of miles, the height of the city wall is full of ten meters, and the thickness is more than three meters, which is extremely solid, comparable to a small fortress.

Longqi Town has a permanent population of no less than 100,000, and a single little will throw 18,000 miles away from the surrounding towns.

Longqi Town is located at the confluence of three mountains and one river, with convenient transportation and trade, three hundred miles north of the famous Monster Mountain Range, where there are only a few remaining alien races in the entire Kyushu Continent, there have been rumors of Orion mercenaries, please see and witness three dwarves on the periphery of the Monster Forest!

Because of the presence of ferocious demon beasts, ordinary mercenaries did not dare to enter too deeply, so they could only move around the periphery to collect spiritual objects and spars.

At this time, it was almost midnight, and on the wall of Longqi Town, seven or eight guards were already sleepy.

The night was quiet, and from time to time there were a few broken thoughts.

"Hey, who do you think will be the first person in the town this year?" One whispered.

"Hey, then don't you need to say it, of course it's the Qi family in the Northern District, I heard that the second young master of the Qi family already has the terrifying strength of the 9th level of Qi refining, and he is only one step away from the first-order Qi Refiner!"

"If you want me to say, it has to be the Feng family in the Southern District, the illegitimate son of the Feng family's partial concubine has already reached the level of a first-order 4-level rune, although it is a concubine, but it is no worse than his eldest brothers, it is said that ah, the head of the Feng family already has plans to make him the heir!"

"Wow, it's really fake, Feng Jianuo's big family property, it's really ......"

"Ahem!"

While everyone was talking, a dull cold snort suddenly sounded, which made the guards who had been sleepy for a long time all smart.

Everyone turned their heads and said one after another, "Captain, why are you here...... In the middle of the night, you haven't rested......"

This person is the captain of the third team of the town guard army in Longqi Town, Gu Ping!

The Town Guard is a formal army that every town has, and it is generally selected from strong and experienced young people, and even the vast majority of retail Qi Refiners will choose to join the Town Guard.

Every member of the town guard will receive subsidies from the town, including but not limited to real estate, food, family resettlement, reimbursement for equipment maintenance and medical supplies, etc., similar to a high-level public institution with an establishment.

Of course, such a generous treatment naturally corresponds to the most stringent selection and elimination system, and no one can fish in troubled waters.

The town guard is responsible for defending against other towns or thieves and bandits, protecting the people from loss, and the mortality rate is the highest of all occupations, and it is also the most admired and loved.

There are a total of four guard captains in the Longqi Town Town Guard, all of whom are cultivators of the second order qi refiner or above, which is a well-deserved top force in the entire surrounding towns, and no one can shake it.

This person is middle-aged, looking extremely rough, with a full beard, round eyes, and a majestic manner.

Nine-foot-tall, tiger-backed, muscle-knotted, and black as charcoal, just standing from a distance gives people an extremely depressing feeling.

Because of his short temper, Gu Ping offended his boss a lot, and he was also one of the worst captains in the town guard, and was sent to do such drudgery as defending the city.

But because of his easy-going temper and unruly personality, he was deeply loved by his guards.

"Cut, Lao Tzu doesn't come to see, can you honestly defend the city? Look at you one by one, it's like a soft egg who hasn't eaten! Stand up for me! That's you! Flamboyant, believe it or not, Lao Tzu kicked you down! The big man shouted sharply, but with a feeling of helplessness.

"That's that, don't worry, we must stand guard well, and we'll find you to drink when we break off!" One of the guards said with a grin.

At the mention of drinking, Gu Ping's expression eased slightly.

"Be careful, don't make a mistake!" Gu Ping said loudly again.

"Don't worry, you can't make a mistake, this black light is blinding, the city gate has long been closed, and no one will come!" The other chimed in.

"A bunch of rabbit cubs......" Gu Ping scolded and turned to leave.

……

At this moment, his voice stopped abruptly, his whole body stiffened suddenly, the laziness under his eyes was instantly replaced by a sharp coldness, and his gaze swept to the back, staring closely at the pitch-black jungle not far away.

At that moment just now, he suddenly felt a fierce aura, and when he was enveloped by this aura, there was a piercing cold feeling in his heart for a moment, and all the hairs on his body stood up in an instant.

It's like a pair of bewitching eyes, dark as hell, eerie and terrifying.

This made him very uncomfortable!

Who exactly!

He hurriedly drew his bow and arrows, and shot out a second-order rune [Flash Talisman] at a rapid pace!

After three breaths, between the jungle five hundred meters away, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, and then the entire jungle shone brightly, covering a radius of hundreds of meters, like the morning day!

[Flash Talisman], a second-order low-level elemental rune, can produce a dazzling bright light at the moment of explosion, and all living beings that are illuminated will fall into a brief period of blindness and stiffness, while revealing their location.

But, there is not the slightest difference!

The cold feeling that seemed to be absent also disappeared without a trace at the same time as the [Flash Charm] exploded.

Gu Ping's frown did not relax in the slightest, he stared there suspiciously, and did not move for a long time.

Consciousness told him that there was really someone there!
