After entering the oasis, Liu Yang and the two escorted Xi Ling into a lot of dangers. I have encountered terrifying and powerful desolate beasts, and I have also encountered the powerful people of the arrogant and unreasonable big tribes. Fortunately, the two of them had endless means, and there was no danger for a while.

Six or seven days have passed, Liu Yang, Zhu Hua and Xi Ling have come in the dust, and the surrounding sky is full of rumors.

The three of them were speechless, and after walking for more than ten miles, the sound of wind and sand in their ears gradually weakened by a few points. In front of it, a huge shadow appeared in the sand and mist, and it was a majestic and tall mountain.

On the peaks, the surface is full of potholes, and there are holes of various sizes eroded by the wind.

Liu Yang raised his eyes and saw that there was a yellow bunker about dozens of zhang high standing below the peak. The fortress is very rough, the walls are made of rocks of different sizes, and the tower stands out of a huge circular platform, which blocks most of the wind and sand.

"It's finally back!"

The moment she saw the city wall, a wave finally appeared in Xi Ling's eyes. This is her home, Suzaku City, where most of the Suzaku are stationed!

Liu Yang and the three of them walked through the flat desert and came to the outside of the city wall to be much more relaxed. Walking outside the city gate, Xi Ling shook off the dust on her body, and she took out a ringing arrow and shot it at the city tower.

"Whew......"

With a sharp voice, an opening suddenly opened above the city gate, revealing several vague figures looking out for a while.

"The third lady is back, everyone hurry up and open the city gate!"

After this sound came, a rumbling sound sounded inside the city wall, and with a burst of mechanical sounds, an incomparably thick black iron door slowly opened inward.

"Two big brothers, welcome to our Vermilion Bird City. Xi Ling grinned, revealing her girlish innocence and liveliness for the first time. She was worried along the way, and it was only when she returned here that she finally relaxed.

Liu Yang and Zhu Hua glanced at each other, and slowly entered the city with Xi Ling.

Just looking at the rough city wall outside, Liu Yang thought it was a very simple castle. But when he walked inside, he found that it was the exact opposite of what he expected.

The area of the city is very large, and the radius is several miles. Every few feet, a huge brazier burned on the wall, and it contained something I don't know what it was, not only did not emit smoke, but also had a refreshing aroma.

Along the way, there were people dressed in animal skin robes everywhere. Both men and women, young and old, are very athletic, and they are busy wearing bone weapons. The powerful guards guarded the safety of the entire city, and they saw Xi Ling's face and showed a look of awe.

"Brother Liu and Brother Zhu, this is our Vermilion Bird City. Although it may not be as big as the big cities in your clan, it is also the largest city within a radius of thousands of miles. ”

Xi Ling looked very happy, and introduced the two of them all the way.

"Those are ......"

Several hideous-looking wild beasts slowly came under the care of many guards, attracting Liu Yang's attention.

"They are all some wild beasts domesticated by us in Vermilion Bird City, with docile personalities and obedient orders. If Brother Liu is interested, I can ask someone to send you two heads to travel. ”

"Wild beasts can also be kept in captivity?"

Hearing this, Liu Yang and Zhu Hua looked at each other. These days, the desolate beasts they have seen are unimaginable, what strange creatures have been encountered, if it weren't for the strong strength of the two of them and Xi Ling's guidance, the three of them would have been buried in the belly of the desolate beast.

"The two eldest brothers don't know that most of our Suzaku are best at domesticating wild beasts. However, only strong people who have more than three hundred veins have this kind of strength. ”

"I see. ”

Nodding, Liu Yang didn't say much. I don't know why, since he entered Vermilion Bird City, he felt a little strange, and he couldn't tell what kind of feeling he felt, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

After walking dozens of feet, Liu Yang and the three of them were stopped by several guards.

Two men in leather soft armor appeared, each holding a thick scroll of animal skin, and greeted them.

"See Miss Three. ”

"No courtesy. ”

Xi Ling frowned, and said lightly: "The two of them are my friends, do they still need to register?"

"Third Miss is really embarrassed, no matter who enters Vermilion Bird City during this time, they need to register, because this is the order of the young master. ”

"My eldest brother's orders?"

Hearing this, Xi Lingqiao's face was slightly cold. Until now, she has not forgotten that it was her eldest brother who almost made her fall in the wasteland mountain range.

"What's your name, and where are you from?"

"They are the guests I invited back, and I will report the details directly to my father, and you will let us go immediately. ”

Xi Ling's face was slightly embarrassed, she couldn't imagine that the other party would not give her face like this.

"Third Miss is really sorry, now everything in the city is arranged by the young master. We only listen to the orders of the young master. ”

The man said with a smile, not afraid of Xi Ling's identity at all. Now that the clan master is in danger, the young master may soon become the official clan master, and even if Xi Ling wants to embarrass them, he will be powerless.

"Presumptuous!"

Xi Lingjiao snorted, and there was a cold glint in her eyes. She said word by word: "Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now." Big brother knows that he can't do anything to me!"

"Don't you feel at ease about the guests of the third lady, she is the most favored pearl of our clan master. Seeing that Xi Ling had made a killing move, another round-faced man was busy acting as a peacemaker, pulled the sleeve of his colleague, and said with a smile.

"Third Miss, don't be angry, he hasn't been very sensible for a few days since he was transferred. Don't mess with him. ”

Smiling at Xi Ling, the round-faced man continued to remind his companion next to him: "Don't apologize to the third lady soon, will the young master still care about his own relatives because of the lives of characters like us?"

Speaking of this, he deliberately accentuated the two words of relatives. The tall man next to him frowned, and his face was a little pale.

"I'm sorry Miss Three, I was impulsive just now. ”

"Since it's your friend, you don't need to register. ”

After a moment's silence, he said with some reluctance.

"Next time, remember, if there is another offense, I don't mind screwing your head, even if the eldest brother sees it, I don't believe he will turn his face because of your dog's life. ”

Although Xi Ling is young, most of the Suzaku people are very respectful, and now she is stopped by a small guard, how to keep her from getting angry.

"The subordinates will not delay the third lady's time, you please. ”

Several guards got out of the way and respectfully greeted Xi Ling and the three of them.

After a glance, Xi Ling took Liu Yang and the two over.

"Who are these people just now?"

After hesitating for a moment, Liu Yang asked softly.

"They're all my eldest brother's men. In the past, the matter of guarding the city was under the jurisdiction of the city guards, but I didn't expect that my big brother forces had infiltrated so much in the months since I left. Speaking of this, a touch of worry appeared on Xi Ling's face.

"So it seems that even if you return here, it will be very uneasy. The taciturn Zhu Hua was hardly able to speak.

"The eldest brother is arrogant and attaches great importance to power. Now it seems that if his father does not recover, he will definitely become the new head of the clan. ”

"According to your eldest brother's temperament, if you become the head of the clan, I'm afraid you won't die. ”

Liu Yang's eyes were deep, he looked at the city with strange scenery, and said lightly: "Slaughtering brothers and sisters for power, this kind of thing is very common in that big force. ”

"But I never thought of interfering in the affairs of the clan, but the eldest brother was so suspicious when he saw me and the second brother getting closer, which was really chilling. ”

Xi Ling's tone was a little low, and most of the things in the clan along the way had been told to Liu Yang and the others.

Third Miss, you're finally back. ”

Not far away, a figure greeted him.

This is an old woman, her demeanor is very kind, and her silver hair is combed very carefully, without a trace of messiness. Her eye sockets are slightly sunken, and her eyes are brown and very deep.

"Grandma!"

Xi Ling threw herself into the old woman's arms like a bird.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”

The old woman was very happy, Xi Ling had never left Vermilion Bird City before, and this time she was worried for several months. It's good now, now that I've returned safely, I don't have to worry about it all day.

"Who are these two?"

Noticing Liu Yang and Zhu Hua, a touch of surprise appeared in the old woman's eyes.

"Grandma, let me introduce you to two benefactors. ”

Xi Ling came back to her senses and showed a shy smile. led the old woman forward and greeted Liu Yang and the two: "This is Brother Liu Yang, and the other is Brother Zhu Hua." ”

"I've seen my seniors. ”

Glancing at each other, Liu Yang and the two arched their hands. From the moment the old woman appeared, they sensed the faint fluctuations coming from each other's bodies, and it was obvious that the former was an extremely strong master.

"Shouting seniors is more than outside. Since you are a friend of the third lady, you can call me mother-in-law. ”

Nodding, the old woman looked at the two carefully.

"They are all my lifesavers, and if it weren't for the two big brothers, I would have died outside. ”

Xi Ling did not hide it, and briefly recounted what happened.

"I didn't expect you to suffer so much outside. I should have stopped you from going out. ”

The old woman sighed, a little self-reproachful.

"Both of them are the third lady's life-saving benefactor, and the old man is here to thank you in advance for your rescue. She said without waiting for Liu Yang and the two to react, so she bent down and saluted.

"Mother-in-law is polite. ”

Smiling, Liu Yang said softly: "It's a matter of effort." I have heard that most of the Suzaku are strong, and it is also an honor for the two of us to take this opportunity to come and see it today. ”

"I can't imagine that two of you are so young and so humble, and you don't know where you come from?"

"We are from a tribe from the southern realm, and it is inconvenient to inform us because we have important things to do, so please forgive us. ”

"It doesn't matter. The old body can understand"

Smiling slightly, the old woman didn't ask more.

"Third Miss, let the two Engongs enter the mansion to speak, and the clan lord is very concerned about you during your absence. ”

"Daddy, how's he doing?"

Xi Ling reacted and hurriedly asked.

"Not very optimistic. ”

With a sigh, the old woman didn't say much

A moment later, Liu Yang and the two stood in the hall. Xi Ling was a little anxious, and disappeared into the inner hall with the old woman. Instead, a waiter was sent in advance to take care of the two.
