Chapter 301: A Reversal
The Flying Dragon Inn does have some connection with Flame City, in the early years, they earned some guidance fees by pointing out the way to those passers-by they couldn't afford to mess with, but since three years ago, the new city owner of Flame City suddenly sent someone to give an order, asking the people of the Flying Dragon Inn to inquire about the origin and identity of these guests, and report to Flame City if they feel suspicious or concerned.
Therefore, although Cheng Da and his wife have never entered Flame City, they actually play the role of the eyes and ears of Flame City.
Huo Wu stayed at the Flying Dragon Inn, and she watched Cheng Sanniang. The others hit the road, led by Cheng Da, to Flame City.
When Qin Shuo heard that Huo Wu was going to stay alone to watch Cheng Sanniang, he immediately said:
"Wouldn't it be okay to let a daughter of the Fire Dancing Girl stay in this desert shop?"
Although he knew that Huo Wu was extraordinary, he still felt that it was inappropriate to leave her here alone, and he was not at ease.
Chenguang glanced at him, directly ignored his words, and whispered a few words to Huo Wu, who nodded and responded.
Chenguang left with Si Qian.
No one listened to Qin Shuo at all, not even Huo Wu looked at him.
Qin Shuo touched his nose, very embarrassed.
Shen Run glanced at Qin Shuo, Qin Shuo's performance was too obvious, it was obvious that he was fascinated by Huo Wu, just look at the way his eyes were about to stick to Huo Wu.
"Is Fire Dance engaged?" So Shen Run asked Chenguang.
"Nope. How? β
"Qin Shuo seems to have seen the fire dance."
"Qin Shuo hasn't gotten married at this age?"
"In the past, his family chose a fiancΓ©e for him, and the girl died before she got married, and then his family chose a few more for him, and he didn't want to live or die. Xue Chong said that he had someone in his heart, and looking at his current appearance, that person was eighty percent of a fire dance. β
Chenguang thought, it turned out that Qin Shuo liked to be thrown into the lake.
"Let's not talk about whether Huo Wu can take a fancy to Qin Shuo, Huo Wu can't do without me, she won't go to Long Xi Kingdom, you let Qin Shuo die of this heart."
"I didn't let you separate, you can come to Longxi Country with her." Shen Run said disapprovingly.
Chenguang was silent for a moment and glanced at him: "What you want to say is actually the last sentence, right?" β
"How long are you going to keep me waiting?" Shen Run asked.
"What?"
"Do you want to be like this all the time, I'm in Longxi Kingdom, you're in Fengming Kingdom, you can come and play when you're happy?"
Morning Light couldn't help but look around, this was the desert, they were riding on camels, the sun was scorching, the air was dry, even their lips were about to crack, and it was not appropriate to talk about such things in such an environment.
"Now isn't the time to talk about that?" Morning Light Road.
Shen Run ignored it, looked at her, and continued with his previous words:
"So, don't you care how many sons I have after I give birth to a concubine?"
Morning looked at him, in the wilderness, she was so angry that she didn't cover her veil, and only covered her hair with a long veil to prevent sunburn. Her lips were vermilion, and after listening to his words, she paused for a moment, curled her scarlet lips, and smiled:
"If you can't get the best, you will retreat to raise a group of defective products to live, this is the behavior of the incompetent, if you can still be complacent about this, it is even more ridiculous, if you want to be worthless, what can I say?"
She said in a helpless tone, then pulled the reins, urging the camel to spread its long legs and run forward, no longer parallel to Shen Run's camel, as if she disdained to be with him.
Shen Run's face darkened.
He stared at the dashing and elegant back of the morning light.
He originally wanted to use words to stimulate the morning light, but who knew that she was defeated by her, and she actually provoked him!
This woman is so infuriating!
The best?
How dare she say it.
Chenguang, you wait for me, see if I can get you!
Starting from the Wyvern Inn, it took seven days to reach the legendary Flame City.
Built on an endless oasis, the Flame City is more majestic than you can imagine, it is a real city, or rather, a real kingdom.
The walls of Flame City are even taller than those of the Phoenix Underworld, and they can be worn side by side with the walls of the Chiyang Kingdom, which are made of the strongest boulders in the desert, and a wide artificial moat is located outside the walls. There were many soldiers with knives on the castle tower, all of them fierce, walking around and patrolling.
The drawbridge at the city gate was lowered, and several strong men with large knives were guarding the city gate, and a few characters with the same fierce faces who looked like bandits were standing in line in front of the city gate to be inspected one by one, looking like new entrants to the city.
Chenguang and the others stood under the sand dunes in the distance, carefully observing the situation in Flame City, although they couldn't see the details clearly, but just seeing the towering city wall, everyone's expressions became solemn.
"I know what it means to be 'impregnable.'" Chenguang said, "If there is food that can be grown in the city, this city will not be trapped for three or two years from the outside, but the one who dies is the one who besieges the city." β
She spoke to the hearts of the people, the Flame City was more difficult to defend than they could have imagined, they underestimated the ability of the bandits to rule, it seems that the imaginary rabble is not as simple as the rabble.
"Is there anything else you know you haven't said in this Flame City?" Chenguang turned his head and asked Cheng Da.
Although Chenguang's people cut off Cheng Da's arms, Chenguang was still very good to Cheng Da along the way, he didn't eat or drink, didn't abuse him, and gave him a camel to ride, although it was still tied, but at least he didn't let him be dragged barefoot in the desert.
Cheng Da, who originally thought of Chenguang very badly, gradually relaxed his vigilance because of the seven-day captive life.
"The little one has never been in Flame City, and he told Madame everything he knew." He was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and since he was captured, he called Chenguang "Madame" and called himself "Little One".
Chenguang nodded.
"Thank you for your hard work." She said, "Don't worry, your lady is waiting for you over there." β
Cheng Da was stunned.
No one else reacted.
As soon as Chenguang's voice fell, Si Qian twisted Cheng Da's neck bone from behind.
Cheng Da drooped his head softly and fell to the ground, his eyes wide open, and he couldn't bat himself.
Qin Shuo and the others were dumbfounded.
If this kind of thing is done in their hands, it is very ordinary, but a woman calmly obeys such an order, and sees a person fall to the ground and turn into a corpse, she herself does not feel anything, but others feel terrified when they look at it.
Shen Run didn't have much reaction.
He struggled to accept that. Although it was difficult for him to accept at first, he did not accept that a woman could be ruthless, but he also understood that it was because of her cruelty that she was able to sit in the current position.
So it doesn't really matter if you accept it or not, she is who she is, and whatever she does, she is her.
He convinced himself so.
Chenguang thinks that they are too numerous and suggests entering the city in two groups so as not to attract unwanted attention.
She asked Shen Run and them to go first, and she and Si Qian followed, and the two sides met in the city.
Shen Run glanced at her, then at Si Qian, and said to Chenguang:
"You let him go first, and you and I will go behind."
