Chapter 007: The Jiang Family of Beijun
Continuing to set off from the Blood Demon Ridge to the north, Linluo did not walk in the front this time, but the three of them walked side by side, as if after this battle, the three of them became a group, and there were many common topics between them.
"Linluo, what did you just say? This girl has become a corpse demon, and you are going to kill me with your own hands? β
Qiu'er deliberately lengthened her voice and asked unhappily.
"Yes, since ancient times, good and evil have not been opposed!"
Linluo tugged at the chain on his chest, but Yukimura seemed to be able to see a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Qiu'er was angry, and said with some questioning, "What do you mean?" This girl's scar saved you from being caught! Do you know what it means to be grateful? β
"I didn't ask you to save me."
Linluo coughed and said lightly.
"Eh, the Fallen Hero, why don't you go to Jiang's house to get the bounty yourself?"
Qiu'er asked with a wicked smile.
"There is no why! I protect you, and in exchange, you don't need to ask why! β
Linluo replied confidently.
"Eh, just now, the hero who fell was in danger and had to use a trick or something... Look at my memory. What is it called? Oh yes! What is it calledγγ It's such a familiar name, where did you hear it? β
Qiu'er leaned her face closer to Linluo and squeezed her eyes a few times.
Linluo was obviously a little embarrassed, and he walked forward quickly, dropping a sentence: "You don't meddle with things!" β
"Hahahaha! This guy is pretty cute! β
Qiu'er said as she looked at Yukimura, who was full of worries.
"Eh, why are you crying? Your master and I haven't braided yet! β
Qiu'er pouted and gave Yukimura a pink punch.
Although it didn't hurt, Yukimura rubbed his chest and said, "Qiu'er. . . You're not going to turn into a corpse, are you?γγγ I'm like... Also.. By.. Scratch.. Injure... Pass! β
A hint of surprise and emotion appeared on Qiu'er's face, but then another heavy punch was given.
"Phew! You wish I had become a corpse, would you? No conscience! Not so much so yourself, how long has it been? β
Yukimura hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No. No, Qiu'er. Qiu'er is a good master, give me a name! β
"Uh-huh! Let's keep up! β
Qiu'er also picked up her pace.
After about three hours of further northward walking, the inaccessible scene began to become popular, and the official road that extended in all directions appeared in front of me again, and there was no shortage of horse-drawn carriage prints and the occasional normal wild cat and domestic dog that popped out of the road.
"Uh... Yes! It was to the range of the North County Jiang family! β
Qiu'er stretched her waist and said.
"Here. . . Unafraid? β
Yukimura is strange, it is also a land on the continent, but it seems that nothing has happened here.
"You'll know after a little while!"
Linluo quickened his pace, and we quickly followed him over two more low slopes, and when he saw what was unfolding before him, Yukimura could hardly believe his eyes: a huge castle tower was located right in front of him, and the towering boulder walls looked impregnable, with towers on each side of the wall, and the large crossbow arrows on the towers emitted a cold light reflected by the sun's rays.
"Why are you standing stupid? Let's go! β
Qiu'er pushed Yukimura, who was in a daze, and she and Linluo seemed to be used to this kind of big scene, and walked straight in the direction of the castle tower.
The tower is getting closer and closer, and it looks like it's about to arrive.
"Didn't you say no?"
Qiu'er asked a little strangely.
"No, I just don't go to the Jiang family, although this city is all the snobbery of the Jiang family, the real Jiang family is the Jiang Mansion in the center of the city."
Linluo explained.
"Pro... Big brother,That.γγ What is it? β
I suddenly saw a huge rectangular building in the city as tall as a tower, and I asked curiously.
"That's the cistern, which contains the most scarce things of all Lizhou people, and it is the source of the Jiang family's wealth!"
Linluo's expression was a little scoffing.
"Roar! I can't see that the fallen hero is quite chivalrous, or let's steal this water and use it to help the victims!! β
Qiu'er saw what was on her mind, covered her mouth and smiled.
"Today's Lizhou relies on the three nobles to support the Dong family army to garrison the border to prevent demons that are more tricky than humanized demons from infiltrating, breaking this rule, I'm afraid the entire Lizhou is not safe...
Linluo gripped the silver lock on his chest and put his hand down again.
"Who?"
On the castle tower, two soldiers dressed as men with spears in their hands asked almost at the same time, this city is heavily guarded to prevent demons from taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
"We are bounty hunters, and we have come to find Jiang Ning, the master of the Jiang family, to receive the reward!"
Lin Luo untied the chain on his chest and shook it upward, and patted the Qiankun bag tied around his waist.
"Silver Chains! Qiankun bag! Sure enough, it's a bounty hunter! Open the gates! β
One of the soldiers gave the order, and soon the gates were opened.
"Are they the Winter Army?"
Qiu'er asked.
"No, they are just civilians trained by the Jiang family entrusted by the Dong family army, and the real Dong family army is stationed on the periphery of the Jiang Mansion!"
Entering the tower, the three of them walked along, the scene in the city was very different from what they had imagined, there were almost no pedestrians on the streets, all the shops and residents were closed, and the occasional probe who came out to see the three of us immediately retracted their heads and closed the wooden windows.
The depressed streets are lined with white silk, and paper money is sprinkled on the ground.
"Old man, how did this place come to be? The last time I came was a bustling city! β
Linluo grabbed an old man who was throwing paper money and asked.
"Young man, let me go! I have to hurry up and scatter the paper money, otherwise Master Jiang will send his men to beat me again!" β
On closer inspection, the old man was covered in wounds.
"This old man Jiang is too bullying!"
Qiu'er was full of anger, so she almost ran directly into Jiang's mansion and crippled Jiang Ning.
"No, it won't! Jiang Ning is kind and kind, although he loves money and is stingy, he won't beat and scold you, right? β
Linluo didn't believe it and asked suspiciously.
"Eh! Young man, you don't know, since Master Jiang's daughter was killed by the corpse demon, Master Jiang's temperament has changed greatly! There is also a rumor in the city that Master Jiang's daughter turned into a snake demon and ate people everywhere, and a lot of strong laborers have been missing in the city! β
After the old man finished speaking, he quickly pushed away Linluo's hand and continued to scatter paper money.
"What now?"
Qiu'er patted Linluo and asked a little worriedly.
"There must be something strange about this matter, you and Brother Yukimura went to Jiang Mansion to exchange for a bounty as originally planned, by the way, check the situation in Jiang Mansion, I am inconvenient to enter Jiang Mansion, so I will live in the city, and by the way, I will look around, and find a chance to meet this so-called snake demon transformed into Miss Jiang!"
"So how do we get in touch?"
Qiu'er seemed a little nervous, and asked Chong Linluo.
"The old demon in the bag is for you! The Jiang family has a habit of lighting up every night, and every night you stand with a lamp body for a while, if I don't see you coming out one day, I will understand what happened! β
"Hmm!" Yukimura and Qiu'er nodded, and they quickly flashed into the alley on the right and disappeared.
"Let's go, apprentice, for the teacher to take you to eat fragrant and drink spicy food!"
Qiu'er clapped her hand on Yukimura's shoulder, pushed it, and walked straight to the center of the city.
"The Beijun Jiang family really lives up to its reputation! With such a big foundation, this girl can't spend it in a few lifetimes! β
Qiu'er said to herself as she walked.
