Volume 2 Xijiao Dragon City Chapter 97 The Fall of King Ling's Mansion
The agreed period of one month is actually very fast, and ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Lin Feng spent the rest of his time helping to train on the army of Changmo City, and the rest of the time was spent hanging out. After all, this is his second city after coming to the Demon Realm, and he still wants to see if there is anything different.
But apparently this was not a good time, and instead of the bustle of the past, the streets were replaced by a large depression. But come to think of it, now that the war is imminent, not so many people go out to eat, drink and have fun, so naturally there is a lot less business, and many shops are directly closed at home.
"Sure enough, the war has had the greatest impact on the people of the world, and everyone has lost a peaceful life."
"In the era of war and chaos, no one can be an outsider!"
"But there is no way, the beasts will not stop attacking the demon clan, and everyone can only be forced to resist."
"It is said that the beast tide has only begun to become more frequent in the past few years, and the cause of the beast tide must be clarified, otherwise I am afraid that it will gradually deteriorate until everyone is powerless to resist."
"But this is all for later, if you want to solve the current predicament, the only way is to stop the war with war!"
At this time, I only heard a slightly immature voice from behind, "May I ask if you are the big hero who saved us?" ”
Lin Feng looked back, it turned out to be a little girl, but about seven or eight years old, looking at her extraordinary dress, although it was a little old, but it could still see the nobility, it should be a child of a big family, at the moment was staring at himself with wide eyes, flashing a little surprise and shyness.
Lin Feng squatted down, "Little sister, why are you here alone, where is your father?" It's best not to run around at this time! ”
The little sister said: "I have a housekeeper named Lao Gu in my family, and he told me that we are fighting now, and we are likely to lose, and if we lose, we will all die. ”
"But then a great hero appeared to help us defeat the herd and help us rebuild the army, and then there was hope again!"
"I wonder if that person is you?"
Lin Feng touched his head and said, "You said yes, but I'm not that good!" ”
The little sister said, "That's really you!" That's great! I actually met a big hero! ”
Lin Feng said: "Okay, you still call me Brother Lin, little sister, what is your name, where do you live, I'll send you home!" ”
The little sister said: "My name is Ling Ning, and I live in the Ling Mansion on the old street in the city!" ”
Lin Feng said secretly in his heart: "Ling Zhai? It seems that it is really a child of a large family, and no one takes care of it? At this time, it is still released to run around! ”
So he said, "Little sister Ling Ning, then I'll send you home!" ”
Ling Ning smiled: "Okay! Then I'm majestic, and a big hero will send me home, hahaha! ”
Next, under the guidance of Ling Ning, Lin Feng finally found the Ling Mansion, which occupies a small area, but it is a little dilapidated, and it seems that no one has taken care of it for a long time.
Lin Feng just walked to the door, but before he knocked on the door, the door opened by itself, and an old man came out, looking at this dress, he should be the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion. Although he looks quite kind, he is full of sadness at the moment, as if he is worried about something.
The housekeeper was slightly stunned, then showed a surprised expression, and walked quickly to grab Ling Ning, "Ouch, my little ancestor, where did you go?" Looking for a dead old slave! ”
Ling Ning smiled and said, "Lao Gu, look, this is the big hero who helped us win the battle!" ”
Steward Gu took a closer look at Lin Feng, "Could it be that Your Excellency is the Deputy Commander of the Storm Army?" ”
Lin Feng said: "Exactly! I found Ling Ning's little sister alone in the city, and I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I sent her back. ”
"Now that the war is undecided, she's still so young, I can't let her go out and run around alone."
Steward Gu was ashamed and said: "What the adults said is extremely true, the old slaves are careful to take care of the young lady on weekdays. But today I was busy with something, and I didn't pay attention, and when I turned around, I found that the young lady was gone. I was also so anxious that I searched the entire Ling Mansion but couldn't find her, thinking that she had slipped out while I wasn't paying attention. So I just wanted to go out and look for it, and I ran into you guys coming back, thank goodness. ”
Lin Feng was puzzled: "You have such a big house, are there no other subordinates?" Why not arrange for someone else to look after her? ”
Steward Gu sighed, "Hey, Deputy Commander Lin, you are the great hero who saved our Changmo City, and I won't hide it from you." Don't you know, our Ling Mansion is long gone. Don't look at our house is very big, but it has reached the point of exhaustion, and the valuable things in the house have been sold. ”
At this time, Ling Ning said noisily: "Why do you keep standing at the door, Lao Gu, you quickly take Brother Lin in, I want to take him to visit our house." ”
Steward Gu said with a little seriousness: "Miss is obedient, Deputy Commander Lin is busy with military affairs, how can you have time to stay with us for a long time?" ”
Lin Feng is still a little interested in Ling Zhai, anyway, he has nothing to do now, "It's okay, it's okay, it just so happens that I'm also curious about the situation of your Ling Mansion, just tell me what's going on." ”
Gu Guan's family looked a little embarrassed, but finally compromised and said: "That's it, Deputy Commander Lin, please come in quickly, the old slave will make you a cup of tea to drink, and let me explain it to you slowly." ”
Then Steward Gu took Lin Feng and Ling Ning into the Ling Mansion and walked to the hall, only to see that there were no decorative items in the hall, and there was not even a painting on the bare walls, only a table and four chairs were placed in the middle of the hall, which looked quite shabby.
After Steward Gu invited Lin Feng to sit down, he brought a pot of tea, "Deputy Commander Lin, now the Ling Mansion is surrounded by four walls, which makes you smile." ”
"We don't have any good wine to entertain, just a few cups of hot tea, please bear with us."
Lin Feng said: "It's okay, you can sit down too, we don't need to be polite, it's just like chatting." ”
Steward Gu didn't seem to have spoken to anyone for a long time, and now that someone expressed interest in the Ling Mansion, he also opened the conversation, "Actually, what happened to the Ling family, I haven't even said anything about the young lady, she was only born a short time ago, so she shouldn't have any impression at all." ”
"Now she is about to be ten years old, she is not too young, and she should know the family history, the young master was already famous all over the world at her age."
"I think back then, our Ling family was also a famous family in the demon world, especially the ancestor of the Ling family, who defeated all the masters in the imperial city with many talents with his mastery of "Red Phoenix Gong", and the demon emperor personally appointed him as the commander of the imperial city, and gave Ling Wangfu and all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures!"
"There is also Master Ling, that is, Miss's father, he and Mrs. Ling also have the rank of Imperial City, and they can also be ranked among the masters of the Imperial City. Especially the little young master, his outstanding talent shocked the imperial city, and he broke through to the demon general realm at the age of fifteen, and was known as the first genius among the young generation of the demon world at that time, and the future general candidate! ”
"At that time, the Ling family was really famous, and all the major forces were vying for it, no matter where they went, they were all beautiful, and even the generals of the imperial city had to give us three points of face."
Speaking of this, Lao Gu's eyes showed a look of pride and nostalgia again, and even the hand serving the tea trembled slightly, which showed that he was very excited now.
Ling Ning was dumbfounded, as if she couldn't believe that her family was so powerful before, although she had also fantasized about what kind of person her father and mother were, but the reality was completely beyond her cognition. And she actually has such a powerful grandfather and brother, but unfortunately she has no impression at all.
Lin Feng didn't expect the Ling family to have this kind of past, but it was too different from the present, so he became more and more strange, "Then how did you end up here?" ”
The gleam in Steward Gu's eyes dimmed again, "Hey, there was a sudden outbreak of a large-scale beast tide attack on the city back then, and all the soldiers in the imperial city, and even the guards of the mansion, as long as they were capable, all went into battle to kill the enemy, and this battle can be called a century war that has not been encountered in a century." ”
"Our Ling family ancestors, masters, ladies, and young masters are all in command, and even the guards in King Ling's mansion are all in battle together to fight against the enemy."
"If it weren't for the master who entrusted the young lady to me and asked me to take care of her, I would have gone with him a long time ago."
"The situation at that time was very dangerous, and even the imperial city was almost breached, and in the end, even the old, young, women and children took up arms and rushed forward. With the idea of killing one to return to the original and killing two, he built a city wall to resist the beast tide with his flesh and blood, and finally coupled with the Demon Emperor's hard work, he achieved the final victory. But it was only a narrow victory, after all, we paid a heavy price! ”
"Speaking of that battle, it was a river of blood, corpses all over the field, like hell, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with these words, the battle is really miserable, it can be said that most of the people in the imperial city are dead."
"Hey, including all the members of the Ling family, all of them were killed, and none were left, it's a pity that the young master's peerless talent is really a pity. Originally, if the young master was still alive, he would definitely be able to rely on him to revitalize the Ling family. ”
"It is precisely like this, now the demon clan is in decline, far less powerful than before, even the Demon Emperor is seriously injured, and his cultivation for many years is not one in ten, and he has not yet come out of retreat."
"So now the demon clan regards the beast tide as the number one enemy, and the imperial city is always reconnoitring the movement of the beast tide, and as soon as there is a movement, it is like facing the enemy, and the first level of defense is activated in an instant."
"Hey, it's far away, let's go back to the Ling family, after this battle, the Ling family has no bloodline except for the infant lady in the family, and there is no clan in-law alive, it's like a tragedy!"
"There are also old acquaintances in the imperial city, almost all of them have died in battle, and even the few who survive are too busy to take care of themselves, so there is no one to take care of the Ling Wangfu. There were only some slaves left in the family, and when they saw that the Ling Wang's Mansion was gone, they fled with the property in the mansion without permission. Coupled with all kinds of living expenses, no matter what, we can't be wronged, Miss, we have no choice but to sell the rest of the family property, and it is in this way that Ling Wangfu has also declined. ”
