Chapter Seventy-One: Public Appearance
On the first day of September in the 684th year of the Lanling calendar, this is a memorable day, because the first "road roller" of Lanling Country was on the road early in the morning on this day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it is now only driven forward by eight war horses, and it can't see the appearance of a real road roller, the smooth road behind it marks the future development direction of Lan Lingguo.
"This road is so comfortable to walk, it's even smoother than the stone road in Wuyun City, hehe......"
"Yes! If the road to Gufeng City is also done like this in the future, we will go home much faster, maybe we can run back and forth in two or three days! ”
"Go for your spring and autumn dreams! I want to make the road in my village like this! Is it possible? ”
"Hey...... I said dumbfounded! You also said, in my opinion, there is nothing impossible, as long as we follow the lord well, maybe this road will really be repaired to your village that day. ”
"Cut! You just talk nonsense here, if there is a day, Lao Tzu will wake up laughing even if he dies......"
"Whew! I haven't arrived at Bai Mu City yet! It's really unfortunate to say that you can't die......"
“……”
The soldiers followed behind the "road roller" and walked on a flat road, all of them in a joyful mood, talking and laughing.
Lan Lingping and the others who were sitting in the carriage saw this scene, and they also smiled often, and they all threw admiring glances at Lin Kong.
Lin Kong, on the other hand, did not smile or say anything, and even frowned lightly occasionally, looking thoughtful.
"Lord, are you still thinking about the Phantom Stone?" Qin Gao, who has always been good at observing faces and colors, has been paying attention to Lin Kong for a long time, and seeing that he will be in Baimu City in two days, Qin Gao finally couldn't help but ask.
"Hmmm! There is one thing I still don't understand, you say that this phantom stone is so heavy, and the Qiankun bag can't be collected, how can Che Zhenshan take it away? ”
Hearing Lin Kong say this, Qin Gao and others immediately frowned, with the current situation, the Black Cliff Army can't hold Bai Mucheng at all, since the defeat is decided, why does Che Zhenshan need such a heavy phantom stone? Isn't that tantamount to adding a burden to yourself?
"Could it be that Che Zhenshan has a way to collect phantom stones, or does it have a means to break phantom stones?" Qin Gao thought for a while and expressed his doubts to everyone.
The doubts in Qin Gao's heart were actually questions that Lin Kong had been thinking about.
Because these phantom stones are not only extremely heavy, but also extremely hard, some people have long tried to break them and set them on some blunt objects to increase their power, but unfortunately they have not succeeded.
Some people even tried to boil the stone with fire to force the phantom stone to shatter, but in the end they all failed.
It is precisely because of these extraordinary characteristics that the imperial courts of various countries have included all the phantom stones in the imperial palace, and no civilians, officials and merchants are allowed to keep them privately.
But as time passed, people found that the phantom stone could test the potential of martial artists, and there was no other use, so it slowly faded, and no one studied it anymore.
But now Che Zhenshan's various behaviors are like telling people that in fact, some people have always studied the Phantom Stone, and they are likely to know some secrets that the world does not know.
Before loading the phantom stone into the carriage, Lin Kong had already discussed it with everyone, and felt that even if he handed over the phantom stone to Che Zhenshan, he would not want to take it away, so Lin Kong also asked Yang Xiaowu to take the Heavenly Wolf Camp and lurk at the main intersections around Bai Mu City early, in case Che Zhenshan escaped with the phantom stone.
Thinking about it now, Lin Kong suddenly felt that he was wrong, if Che Zhenshan really had a way to decompose the phantom stone, then he would definitely not evacuate from the main road with the Kurosaki army, and would probably choose a more hidden mountain road.
"Ada, send someone to inform Yang Xiaowu and tell him to transfer with the speed of the Heavenly Wolf and go to the mountains and forests around Baimu City to ambush."
"Whoa!"
"Is the lord worried that Che Zhenshan will not take the right path, and will flee to the Red Flame Country across the Tianmu Mountain Range?" Lan Lingping was very surprised when he heard Lin Kong's order.
The reason why he was surprised was because the Tianmu Mountain Range, like the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, not only had many poisonous insects, snakes and ants, but also the mountains were high and densely forested, shrouded in miasma all day long, stretching for hundreds of miles, which was a natural barrier between the Lanling Kingdom and the Red Flame Country.
If Che Zhenshan really led the army over the Tianmu Mountain Range, he would pay a terrible price.
However, Lin Kong didn't think so, because behind Che Zhenshan, there was also a mysterious figure who killed people without blinking-Black Shadow.
Due to the existence of the black shadow, Lin Kong had already given an order to Yang Xiaowu, and as soon as he saw this person, he immediately avoided it, and he must not have any conflict with him.
After all, the current Wolf Howling Legion does not have the ability to challenge the monks, and if it provokes the other party, it will definitely be themselves who will suffer in the end.
Fortunately, Yang Xiaowu was quite rational, and he knew that there was a world of difference between mortals and monks, and he was not in a hurry to avenge Yang Tai, which made Lin Kong feel a lot more relieved.
Three days later.
Lin Kong finally came to Baimu City with the Phantom Stone.
Baimucheng is different from Wuyun City, it is not surrounded by many fertile fields, almost all of them are large and small peaks, and most of the Li people within the jurisdiction are also in the form of cottages to form villages and towns.
Most of the people living in Baimucheng City are mainly engaged in buying and selling mountain goods and hunting, that is, children and women stay at home to run shops, and men go to the mountains to hunt or collect medicine.
Therefore, among the ordinary people who were arrested by Che Zhenshan, they were basically some old and weak women and children, and those middle-aged men in the family escaped by luck.
When Lin Kong led the Wolf Howling Legion to Baimu City, he met many hunters along the way who escaped capture by the Kurosaki Army because they went out hunting.
These hunters are much more fierce than ordinary people, if it weren't for the fact that the whole family is in the hands of Che Zhenshan, they probably would have spontaneously organized an attack on the city.
"My lord, please don't forcibly attack the city, if that's the case, the lives of the little parents, wives and children will be lost, please!"
"Everyone, please hurry up, Lin Mou came this time to save the lives of the people in the city, everyone can rest assured, the phantom stone Lin has already brought, as long as Che Zhenshan keeps his promise, Lin will never storm Bai Mu City."
"Thank you, my lord, if that Che Zhenshan is untrustworthy and dares to hurt my family, we are willing to be the pioneers of adults, rush up to fight with them, and help adults break through Bai Mu City."
As soon as the Wolf Howling Legion led by Lin Kong arrived in Baimu City, before they had time to rest, a large group of hunters rushed out of the mountains and forests, kneeling down and pleading with him, hoping that the Wolf Howling Legion would first exchange the phantom stone for the lives of their families, and then lead their troops to attack Bai Mucheng, and expressed their willingness to contribute to the siege.
Of course, Lin Kong couldn't know about this, originally his purpose this time was to save the people of Bai Mucheng, if he could get the help of the locals, it would be great, maybe when attacking the city, it could also play a key role in reducing the casualties of the soldiers.
However, just as Lin Kong was about to call Big Foot forward and exchange people with the Kurosaki Army, the black shadow that had appeared in Wuyun City reappeared on the walls of Bai Mu City.
However, he did not hide his figure this time, although he was still wearing the seeping skull mask and the black robe that covered his head and feet, but he was accompanied by Che Zhenshan and swaggered towards the city.
"Lord ......"
Seeing the black shadow again, Ada and the others trembled obviously, and cold sweat had broken out on their foreheads unconsciously, only Lin Kong and Lan Lingping were still calm.
"Why did this person show up openly, in Wei Chen's memory, it seems that immortals never participate in the battle between mortals, does he want to help Che Zhenshan deal with us?" Lan Lingping began to worry, and looked at Lin Kong with an anxious expression.
"Probably not, if he wanted to participate in the fight, he would have done it half a month ago, and it would be impossible for you and me to stand here and talk." Lin Kong said with great certainty.
He believed that the reason for the appearance of the black shadow was mostly related to the phantom stone on the carriage, and as for the specific reason why he had to appear in the city, Lin Kong couldn't guess it for a while. [To be continued]
