Chapter 148: Banyan City 1

The third calendar of September 21126 (21126.9.3 calendar)

Sunset Country (Chaoyang Country before the name change)

Banyan City.

Under the big banyan tree in the city.

"Little girl, where are you from?"

A cloth-clad man standing in the crowd asked.

The little girl who was questioned was about seven or eight years old, with delicate facial features, a very bright little green dress on her body, and a full head of dark green hair that also catered to her, but the left side of the little girl's face had a large red spot.

Seeing that the little girl did not speak, the crowd began to talk.

"Let's go, the lord of the castle is here"

I don't know who shouted, and the crowd quickly retreated into an open space.

The person who came was an adult man, in his thirties, with a kind face, a white robe, black hair wrapped in a drape, and a strange text token hanging from his waist.

Seeing the city lord coming over, the other members of the crowd hurriedly said, "City lord, you see that she didn't say anything, and has been sitting under our banyan tree since this morning."

"Well, I see, leave it to me" The city lord chuckled, and slowly walked in front of the little girl again, squatted down, and touched the little girl's head.

This made the little girl a little timid, retracted her head, and leaned against the banyan tree behind her.

"Hehe" Seeing the little girl's cute appearance, the city lord asked again, "Where is your home?"

The little girl still didn't speak, but looked at the city lord with wide eyes and puzzled.

The city lord thought for a moment, and then took out two white sugar cubes from the sleeves of his robe and handed them to the little girl.

"Well, let's see if you like it?" said the city lord with a smile.

The little girl looked curiously at the candy cube in the city lord's hand, and the two little hands were also constantly fiddling with each other in front of her.

However, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the sugar cube, grabbed a piece and put it in his mouth.

While sucking on the candy cube, he looked at the castle lord curiously.

"You ate my candy cubes, but you haven't told your uncle where your home is," the lord asked.

The little girl twisted her head from side to side, and then slowly stretched out her little finger to the big banyan tree behind her.

The city lord smiled helplessly, and did not take the little girl's actions seriously, but asked again, "Are you hungry, do you want to go back to your uncle's house to eat something?"

After the little girl's eyes rolled twice, she nodded quickly.

In this way, the city lord carried the little girl back to the city lord's mansion, although the city lord's mansion was very simple, and the roof was made of tiles and wood, but it was very clean and spotless by the city lord.

For ten years, the little girl has been living in the city lord's mansion with the city lord, but almost whenever she has time, the little girl will run to play under the big banyan tree, and the residents of the city are also used to it, because the little girl likes green, so they call her little green.

In the past ten years, the city lord has also consulted a lot of information, and for no other reason, the city lord has discovered a strange phenomenon in the little girl.

Every night, the little girl will run to play under the big banyan tree alone, and as long as the little girl runs to the big banyan tree, whether it is windy or not, the big banyan tree will keep shaking.

Ten years later, the little girl who was a little bird has completely turned into a slim, picturesque girl, but she has never said a word, the only thing that has not changed is the red spot on the left side of her face.

In addition to the hands, the only way to express one's meaning is to nod and shake one's head.

"At this moment, King Xi directly led his 800 soldiers to rush towards the enemy, so that the enemy could only lay down his weapons and flee in a hurry......"

The city lord who was lying under the banyan tree was holding a thick book and reading it carefully to the girl, and the little girl was sleeping in the city lord's arms, but her eyes were always on the city lord's face.

"Uncle ......"

"King Xi must be chasing ...... with victory"

Bang!

The city lord, who was reading the lecture carefully, was stunned when he heard the girl's voice, and looked at the girl with a trembling head, "What did you just call me...... You've spoken, you've spoken!"

For ten years, the city lord regarded the girl as his own child, and cared for her all the time, playing with her and telling her stories......

A few strands of white silk also appeared on the temples of the city lord.

And at this moment, it was the first time that the city lord heard the girl actually speak!

"You, you're talking once......" the lord said hoarsely.

"Uncle......" the girl pouted and laughed quietly.

The girl's strange news also spread to several surrounding cities, and many people from neighboring cities came to Banyan City to see what the girl looked like, because the girl could make the big banyan tree shake, and the people around her called her the Heavenly Maiden, saying that the gods had descended to earth.

At this time, the girl was also called the Heavenly Maiden by the people around her.

Because Banyan City is on the edge of the Sunset Country, facing the Huoyun City of the neighboring Changling Empire, there is only a few hundred kilometers in between. The news of the girl also spread to Huoyun City.

Then there was a lot of rumors in Huoyun City. In the end, the girl's news fell to the ears of the general of the Changling Empire.

However, the general was busy with affairs, and did not investigate the reliability of this news, let alone go to Banyan City to find the legendary Heavenly Maiden.

21,127 November 6 (21127 November 6)

The Changling Empire announced an all-out attack on the Luoyang Kingdom, and since there was no martial artist in the Martial Spirit Realm in the Luoyang Kingdom, for almost half a month, the three counties on the border of the Luoyang Kingdom were directly attacked by the enemy.

At this time, the civilians in several major counties were in dire straits.

The Banyan City, where the girl was located, was also suddenly remembered by the general.

"Take Huoyun City as the starting point, all the cities within a half-circle of three hundred miles, gather troops, and directly attack the eastern part of the Luoyang Kingdom!"

"The general passing by Banyan City pays attention to whether there is a girl with red spots on her face and dark green hair in the city, and if you find it, bring it back to me intact!"

"Yes!"

......

"Uncle, didn't you ask where Midori's home was?" the girl asked in a low voice, holding the city lord's arm.

The city lord was suddenly dumbfounded, put down the relocation order in his hand, picked up the girl, and nodded.

It's been ten years, and the only thing that hasn't changed the girl is this sticky character.

"Uncle, the enemy is coming to our Banyan City, right?" The girl's two crystal eyes were misty, which made the city lord feel extremely distressed.

"Xiaolu, don't worry, uncle will definitely protect you!"

"But Midori doesn't want to leave Banyan City"

"Okay, uncle with you, we won't leave!"

......

"Now I will gather everyone here, I believe you also know the reason, the army of the Changling Empire is about to come to our Banyan City, after I finish speaking, everyone go back and bring the necessary materials and move directly to the national capital!"

After the city lord finished speaking, the surrounding residents began to talk about it.

"We don't have a martial artist in Banyan City, how can we be attacked by the army?"

"That's it, and we don't have a single soldier in Banyan City, and the war can't be against ordinary cities!"

"I know, it's because of that witch!"

"Enchantress!"

At this time, everyone focused on the girl beside the city lord.

When the girl felt the many unkind eyes around her, she couldn't help but shrink behind the city lord in fear.

"Guys, can you be quiet?"

The city lord protected the girl's body with his hand before shouting.

The surrounding crowd saw that the city lord had spoken, and then they quieted down.

"Bang!"

I saw the city lord suddenly knelt on the ground and ripped off the token on his waist.

"This ......"

"The lord of the city, he ......"

The lord threw the token in front of the crowd.

"I'm sorry for everyone, I'm sorry for our Banyan City, I'll apologize to everyone on behalf of Xiaolu!" After the city lord finished speaking, he directly fell to the ground.

Bang!

"The Changling Empire has always been eyeing the territory of our Sunset Country, and our Banyan City is just a bird's nest on a tree, since we want to cut down a big tree, how can the bird's nest survive in peace."

"I hope everyone will hurry home now to prepare materials and leave Banyan City overnight, from now on, I will not be the city lord, but I will stay in Banyan City with Xiao Lu!"

After hesitating for a moment, the city lord couldn't help but continue.

"If you can, I hope you don't expose the news that Xiaolu is in the city, thank you"

After speaking, the city lord stood up and returned to the city lord's mansion with the girl.

"Castle Lord......"

"Let's run away!"
