Chapter 129: The City Guard
Since Meng Winding Red Dragon saw Long Qifeng, the nerves that had been tense for the past few days suddenly relaxed. He felt that he had finally completed the biggest, most important, and most arduous task in his life for more than ten years.
Now when I hear Long Qifeng mention Ma Linlong, I can't help but think of the life-and-death struggle in the past few days. He thought of his clansmen, of Wu Gong, of his brother, of the Golden Horn, and of the lives of his clansmen.
The heart that had just been calm became excited again, tears flowed down unconsciously, and there was a feeling of soreness in my heart, but also a feeling of happiness. All this seems to be worth it now, after the task is completed, there will be a lot of fewer deaths in the Wu Clan Kingdom in the future, and he feels as if he has done a great thing.
A few people were on the side, seeing him crying, but there was no contempt, a few people thought he was in charge, but he was not an adult after all, he was still a child. If adults weep, they would surely laugh and live, but they would not be despised.
Because the Wu people like freedom, they think that they should cry when they should cry, and laugh when they should laugh, that is the real man.
Meng Huanshan Tiger smiled and said, "Red Dragon, you are in charge. If you cry, we have to cry together! Besides, what kind of place is this? The city guard is not a place to cry. You should be glad that at least we have completed our mission, and we can give an explanation to the patriarch and the witch prince when we go back. ”
Meng Huan Tieying gave him a kick from the side, and shouted in a low voice: "That nonsense, Chilong is the same as you? You're still hiding, so quickly put on the red dragon's clothes. ”
Long Qifeng heard their conversation, raised his eyebrows, just now he felt that the young man could fight with Teng Xinzun to a draw, he was not a simple person, and he had a heart of love for talent, so he asked him to go in and answer, but he didn't expect that the young man was really the main thing for these people.
He walked over, looked at Meng Huan Chilong, and said very sincerely: "It's hard for you, I understand your feelings, don't worry, I will compensate you." ”
Meng Huan Chilong wiped away the tears on his face and said fiercely: "We don't want to compensate, as long as the government sends troops and destroys the people of the upright dynasty." I swore that I would kill all the people of the upright dynasty and avenge the clansmen and Uncle Ma. This is what I promised Uncle Ma, and I must do it. As he spoke, he waved the deadly knife in his hand.
These words made Long Qifeng stunned, and he couldn't help but look at the young man carefully and raise his voice. "Okay, the people of the upright dynasty will not take advantage, we will definitely beat them out. But now you have to come with me and tell me about the situation, and we need to discuss how to deal with the people of the Righteous Dynasty. ”
Then he looked at Teng Xinzun and said, "Lord Joiner, you are still relying on Heavenly City to join the army, whether you believe it or not, it is your responsibility to protect this city." ”
Teng Xinzun hesitated for a moment, then saluted: "Yes, Lord City Guard." ”
Long Qifeng didn't speak again, just silently walked towards the city guard's mansion. Long Qishui led a few of the Iron Eagles and also walked to the city guard's mansion, but not in the same direction.
Meng Huan Chilong followed behind Long Qifeng, circling around the castle guard's mansion, not knowing where the castle keeper lord was going to take him.
Walking along the way, I remembered what Long Qishui said outside the City Guard Mansion, and now it seems that it is not wrong at all, the City Guard Mansion is indeed the best castle in the Wu Clan Country.
He, a child in the mountains, could see that the castle guard mansion was carefully designed, except for the surrounding city wall of five zhang wide, there were corridors one zhang wide everywhere, connecting rooms one after another, and all the corridors were curved and round, making people a little confused.
In his opinion, the building of the castle guard mansion should be labyrinthine, this word is still from the elder brother, when they go to the nearest Panshi town to play, the town center is such a structure, but it is much simpler than the castle guard's mansion.
According to Brother, the biggest benefit of the labyrinth building is that it can slow down the enemy's attack and give the defenders time to set up their defenses. And you have to use the route in the maze to attack the incoming enemy.
If you don't know the situation, you will be blocked in the alley and killed by traps or ambushes. Long Qishui also said this at the time, that is, there was a formation in the city guard mansion.
After a while, he was confused, if he was allowed to return to the gate of the City Guard Mansion alone, he would definitely not be able to find his way back, so he could only follow Long Qifeng and walk forward honestly.
Along the way, Teng Xinzun squinted at the red dragon from time to time, he couldn't figure out what kind of secret art this kid had learned, he could absorb the magic power of others, and he was already invincible by virtue of this, that is to say, the person with the power of earth and magic power was a defeat in front of him. Unless this person has an absolute advantage, or kills this kid directly with a weapon.
He saw Teng Xinzun looking at him from time to time, so he immediately glared back with small eyes without showing weakness.
Teng Xinzun looked away every time, because today was already embarrassing enough, a great wizard couldn't beat the wizard, and he was humiliated by the Long brothers, he didn't want to make any more friction.
Seeing his gaze dodging him, Meng Huan Chilong felt a little proud in his heart, and couldn't help but smile, intending to look at Teng Xinzun, but accidentally bumped into a soldier wearing armor.
Long Qifeng stopped in front of a gate, there were two soldiers in armor in front of the door, who were pushing the door open, Long Qifeng gestured to Menghuan Chilong, and walked in first.
It was a surprisingly large room, about a few dozen feet wide. It can be seen that this is the public hall of the city guarding the dragon Qifeng, the place where orders are usually given, and it is also the center of power in Yitian City.
Directly opposite the gate was a huge wooden table, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, as well as the order flag, official documents and the like, and more books, but it was not clear what kind of books they were, so it was certain that this castle guard was a person who liked to read.
Behind the table is a large chair that looks like it can seat two people. Behind the chair is a wall, and a flag is hung with a dragon shaped into a witch character, which is the flag of the witch nation.
There are two rows of chairs in front of the table, and each chair has a coffee table next to it, which seems to be for people to sit on when discussing things. There were some things behind the chair, but he couldn't understand them, they were all strange signs, with words on them, and what he could understand was a shelf with various types of weapons on it.
He didn't dare to go directly into the house, but just stood in the doorway and looked curiously.
Long Qifeng looked back at him outside the door and said with a smile: "Come in!"
The young man still didn't dare to go in, but just looked left and right, and said carefully: "Lord Castle Guard, this seems to be your court, a place where prisoners are interrogated?
Long Qifeng laughed, and the two soldiers guarding the door next to him also laughed.
"This is indeed a public court, but it is not a place for the trial of prisoners, and the officials will try the lawsuits, and in other places, only the things they can't solve will come here to consult with me, so this place is considered a council room. And this place is mine, and I am the city guard, and if you are invited to come, you may come in. ”
Hearing this, he nodded, and walked in cautiously, but as soon as he entered, he kept turning his head, as if looking for something, and looked at the roof from time to time with a puzzled look on his face.
Long Qifeng was a little curious and asked, "Menghuan Red Dragon, what are you looking for?"
He was a little embarrassed and said, "Fire pond, why don't you see the fire pond, there is no fire pond here, and the house is still so bright?"
Long Qifeng laughed softly. "This is not a mountain forest, there is no fire pond, during the day against the roof of the tiles, see not, there is light on the top of the tile, the light is the tile, can make the light shine into the house. It is lit at night with animal oil lamps, so there is no need for a fire pit. ”
He subconsciously looked up at the roof. "Mingwa, Mingwa, what is Mingwa? It's so bright without a firepit. ”
"Mingwa is made of bright jade, which allows sunlight to shine through, so it's bright. Long Qifeng explained.
Bright jade is not a treasure, nor is it a precious thing, the only feature is that it is transparent, so light can penetrate in.
Teng Xinzun wanted to laugh when he heard Meng Huan Chilong's question, because he thought that this young man was a dirt bun, so he was funny, but he couldn't bear it, but he also endured it very hard.
When Meng Huan Chilong looked up at the roof, because the Shura clothes he was wearing, probably when he was resting at home, they looked very loose, and the corners of his clothes accidentally hung on the armrest of a chair, almost tripping Meng Winding Red Dragon to the ground.
He finally couldn't hold back and laughed a little happily.
Meng Winding Red Dragon's face turned red all of a sudden, glared at him fiercely, drew his life-killing knife, cut a cut in the hem of the robe, and tore out a strip of cloth to tie it around his waist as a belt, so that the robe fit a little better.
Teng Xinzun didn't stop laughing when he saw it, but laughed even harder, and the laughter seemed to want to get back the face he had just lost, which was particularly exaggerated and a little arrogant.
Long Qifeng couldn't stop laughing when he saw him, and said coldly: "Teng joined the army, you are proud of being a child of the family, is this the demeanor and quality of the Teng family? Don't you feel ashamed of the Teng family?"
Teng Xinzun stopped laughing suddenly, maybe he braked too hard, and his face turned red all of a sudden, making the long face look particularly ugly. Just now because of the Teng family's slave breeding, Long Qishui laughed at it, and now the city guard said this, which made him even more embarrassed.
He knew that the brothers of the Long family were the real children of the family, and they were also the elite of the descendants.
Long Qifeng didn't care about Teng Xinzun, took Meng Winding Red Dragon's hand, took it to a corner of the room, and said as he walked: "You delivered the news and completed the task, and the rest is our business." This is the place where I rest, more comfortable than in the court, you are here, tell us what you know, let us know, so that we can know the current situation, and what should be done in the future. ”
They bypassed a curtain with tassels and entered a small room.
This room is different from the lobby outside, and the furry animal skins are laid against the wall, and the animal skins are thrown soft cushions, which can be sat and leaned on. There are also several low tables on the hides, which can be used to hold things or elbows, and have a variety of functions.
The most important thing is that the animal oil lamps used for lighting in the house are lit, and the lights are flickering, which reminds the red dragon of the cottage stone house, giving people a warm feeling.
It was then that he remembered that it was almost dusk.
