Chapter 128: A Place of Peace
The terrain of Xueyuling is steep, surrounded by mountains, dense forests and peaks everywhere, and the road is rugged.
On the side near the official road, a passage was opened in the ridge, but there were two huge gates built on both sides of the passage, and there was a watchtower next to it, which was the main gate of the Snow Feather Ridge, and all visitors to the Snow Feather Ridge had to enter from here.
If you climb into it from other steep peaks of the mountain, you are considered to have dived.
As the only entrance and exit of Xueyuling, it is crowded with people all year round. Tang Wu and the others were a hundred miles away, so they took out a flag embroidered with white orchids in advance and planted it on the roof of the carriage.
Along the way, the large and small tax checkpoints on the official road passed unhindered, no one stopped, and many pedestrians saw the white blue flag on their carriage and took the initiative to avoid it.
Although he has not really arrived at Snow Feather Ridge, this radius of a hundred miles seems to be the territory of Duke Bailan.
Lin Chen and the others also felt the lofty status of Duke Bailan in the eyes of the people from the reactions of other passers-by along the way.
In the Snow Feather Ridge, in addition to a few small towns and villages, there are two main places, one is the Grand Duke of Bailan, and the other is the big city established by the Duke of Bailan, Bailan City!
Duke Bailan's family lives in the Grand Duke's Castle, which is the territory of the Duke of Bailan's domain, and although Bailan City is ruled and managed by Duke Bailan, most of the time, it is managed by the deputy city lord.
For Duke Bailan, a big city is not worth his personal control.
The Grand Ducal Fort is home, while the White Orchid City is the place to work.
Entering the Snow Feather Ridge, Tang Wu and the others directly took Lin Chen and the others to the Grand Duke Fort.
On the plains along the way, Lin Chen and the others saw a large number of hard-working tenant farmers on both sides of the road, and the bright yellow rape flowers in the fields were accompanied by the warm spring breeze, sending the fragrance of flowers into the carriage.
Along the way, there seem to be tenant farmers singing with laughter and laughter, and there are also tenant farmers driving oxen to plow the fields, with the vast sky and vast plains, which makes people can't help but be fascinated.
The Snow Feather Ridge is very large, and everyone passed through many villages along the way, and saw the children of the farmers running barefoot all over the ground, and although some of the farmers were carrying hoes and covered with mud spots from their labor, most of them had smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
As their carriage passed through these villages, some farmers greeted them with a smile when they saw a black, curly-haired woman on horseback outside, and some asked if they would like to bring some freshly picked vegetables back to eat.
This scene shocked Lin Chen and the others in the carriage, and they felt as if they had walked into a paradise, where it seemed to be far away from all disasters and wars, only peace!
"Don't they know that you are the Awakened?" Wu Yan asked in surprise.
Tang Wu, who was sitting in the carriage, said with a smile: "Of course I know, but they have long been used to it, even if you reveal your identity here, no one will be afraid of you, and they will treat you as ordinary people and coexist peacefully, this is the charm of the Duke!"
Wu Yan and Duanmu Rong glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.
For their xenomorphs, this is the world they have always dreamed of!
As if to confirm Tang Wu's words, it didn't take long for everyone to pass by a village, and they saw a strange dark blue haired woman standing by a well in the center of the village, wearing a long robe, standing by the well with her hands raised high, as if she was brewing something.
Some of the surrounding onlookers immediately applauded, applauded and cheered, without the slightest fear in the face of this mysterious power.
"Xiaoyun, are you helping them dig the well?" said the curly-haired woman on horseback who seemed to know the dark blue haired woman.
The woman named Xiaoyun turned her head to see them, and her eyes suddenly showed joy, and said, "Sister Su!"
"Do you want to go back together?" said the curly-haired woman with a smile on her face.
"I'll help Uncle Liu and their fields water later, so I won't go back with you first, and I'll go to play with you tomorrow." Xiaoyun grinned.
"Good. ”
The curly-haired woman smiled and agreed.
Duanmu Rong and Wu Yan were completely stunned, and after they walked away, Wu Yan came back to his senses, he thought of his ability to grow tender green plants, and couldn't help asking, "Did she just use her own ability?"
"That's right, Xiaoyun's ability is to control water, and he can also heal slightly. Tang Wu said with a smile: "The people in the nearby villages love her very much, this child is lively and often comes to help." ”
Wu Yan was stunned, his eyes couldn't help but show heat, maybe his ability can help others here!
Wang Xinchan and Chu Wu were a little dazed, the scenes they saw when they came here completely broke their worldview, they thought that when they came to the secret nest of evil demons, they were extremely vicious, but the truth was completely opposite, and there was incomparable harmony here.
"She is also a member of your gentlemen's group?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
He had just inspected this Xiaoyun's panel with his attribute ability, and saw that she was a water demon seed beginner, and it didn't seem to meet Tang Wu's requirements.
"She is a member of the reserve regiment, her bloodline is a little worse, she is only a beginner, and her growth is limited. Tang Wu shook his head and said.
Lin Chen was stunned.
Half an hour later, the carriage gradually drove near the Grand Ducal Fort.
Lin Chen and the others saw from a distance a few green grassy hillsides on the continuous high ground, a majestic palace standing, the palace was built very magnificently, with four or five floors of pavilions, as solemn as a pagoda.
Outside the palace was a high courtyard wall, and the hillside was patrolled by groups of cavalry, heavily guarded, but the gardeners pruning the flowers and plants on the hillside added a bit of peace to the solemnity.
The carriage stopped at the foot of the mountain, everyone got off, and a team of cavalry came to Tang Wu and the others, and after seeing the appearance of Tang Wu and the others, they immediately recognized it, and the leader of the cavalry seemed to be more familiar with Tang Wu, and said with a smile: "Old Tang, wait for Old Man Li to say, did you go out this time to find a good seedling?"
Tang Wu smiled and said: "That big mouth, you can't hide anything, this is, her mother is a bloodline, she should be very likely to be a middle-level bloodline, even if it is not, this trip is not a loss, at least we brought back two reserve members, but unfortunately we went a little late, otherwise we could bring back three." ”
"Two?" The cavalry leader was surprised, and his eyes swept over Lin Chen and the others, "There is another one?"
"That's right. Tang Wu said with a smile.
The cavalry leader smiled and said, "Good luck, then again, my lord said that there have been visions in many places recently, and there are more and more people who have awakened recently, so you have to be busy during this time." ”
"That's a good thing. Tang Wu smiled and said, "I wish everyone would wake up!"
"Okay, it's not a big mess in the world. ”
"Okay, I won't tell you more, I'll take the two of them to verify the bloodline, and then I'll go to you for a drink in the evening!"
