Chapter 19: Departure
"What's the matter? why is this carriage still parked here!" said a squad leader who looked like one of these soldiers, angrily.
Immediately, when the person who looked like the squad leader saw the token, his eyes immediately widened, and his angry face immediately changed into a flattering smile: "My lord, my subordinates are not sensible, please bear with me." Your Excellency, are you going into the city?"
As he spoke, he kicked the soldier to the side, who was yelling for inspection.
"Hmm. Qingqing sat in place and glanced at him lightly.
"This lord wants to pass! Let it go!" the man who looked like a squad leader immediately said to the two soldiers next to him.
After the carriage drove into Yanluo City, the squad leader immediately sat on the hot sand with a shiver, and the 'Goodong' squad leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some fear.
After sitting on the ground and panting for a while, the squad leader immediately grabbed the soldier who shouted to check on Ji Yunxiao, and scolded angrily: "Mom, I was almost killed by you! Do you know who those two people are? You fucking are going to check, you are tired of being crooked, don't drag Lao Tzu and these brothers to die together, do you know who those two people are?" They are members of the Lingyan mercenary group, and their status is not low, if this matter is known to the people above, we will all be thrown out to feed the dogs, so you keep your mouth shut for Lao Tzu. ”
Looking at the vanishing back of the carriage, the squad leader exhaled completely, wiped a cold sweat, and returned to his post again, and perhaps because of the previous fright, the current soldiers also restrained a lot of anger, and did not dare to scold the passers-by who entered the city indiscriminately.
The carriage slowly drove out of the somewhat dim passage of the city wall, and the sight lit up slightly, and the city buildings with unique desert characteristics appeared in the field of vision, and the houses and buildings with strange appearances did not make Ji Yunxiao feel novel, after all, he had already been here once in his previous life.
"Alright, let's get off here. Ji Yunxiao said to the coachman, and then took out a gold coin from the ring and gave it to the coachman.
Standing on the street full of wind and sand, Ji Yunxiao's eyes swept over the crowded street, and after a while, he asked Qingqing with some surprise: "Qingqing, where is this Lingyan mercenary group?"
"Just follow me. ”
Even if he had been here in his previous life, Ji Yunxiao had not stayed in Yanluo City for long, so there was no way to do it if he didn't recognize the way, and now he could only rely on Qingqing to lead the way.
After following Qingqing through two streets, he stopped in front of a store, the materials used in the decoration of this store are very valuable, and the whole store looks like it is splendid, although it is not as good as the Tianxuan Auction House, but it is not too bad.
Although the whole is very splendid, there is one thing that is incompatible with these precious decorations, that is, a very simple plaque, on which are written several large characters of dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, and 'Lingyan Mercenary Group' hangs high on the entrance.
At the entrance, there are also two mercenaries wearing heavy armor and holding spears in their hands, and on the left arm of the mercenary hangs a black metal armband engraved with 'Lingyan', which is a symbol of being a member of the Lingyan mercenary group.
As soon as Ji Yunxiao and Qingqing stepped out of their front feet and were about to enter the mercenary group, the two mercenaries at the door immediately crossed their spears to block them, and one of the mercenaries said, "Please show the token, if you don't have a token, please leave." ”
"You two are new here, and even Miss Ben doesn't know about it. Qingqing took out the gold token with the spirit character that she took out at the city gate.
"Your Excellency, please. Seeing this gold token, the two new mercenaries were immediately in awe.
Just these two new mercenaries made Ji Yunxiao feel that this Lingyan mercenary group was different from other mercenary groups, because from these two mercenaries alone, Ji Yunxiao could see that this Lingyan mercenary group was disciplined, just like an army.
After entering it, many mercenaries in armor greeted Qingqing, and Qingqing also responded one by one, and Ji Yunxiao was thought to be Qingqing's guard, Qingqing pulled Ji Yunxiao into a room in this way, causing Ji Yunxiao to take a good look inside the Lingyan mercenary group, and after entering, Ji Yunxiao found that this was not a room, but a passage to the underground.
After going about ten meters underground, the two of them came to a separate space, which looked like a hall, but it was empty, in the center of the hall, there was a statue, the statue was a man in a robe, and the statue was surrounded by a burning cyan flame.
Qingqing walked into the statue, and in Ji Yunxiao's surprised gaze, he walked into the cyan flames step by step, and then a flame mark was formed in his hand and slapped on the man's body, and suddenly all the cyan flames around the statue disappeared, and the rumbling sound surrounded this empty hall, and I don't know when a piece of wall disappeared, revealing an entrance.
A man's voice came from the entrance: "Qingqing, are you here?"
"It's my big brother!" Qingqing ran over excitedly.
Ji Yunxiao followed behind Qingqing and slowly walked in, after entering, Ji Yunxiao found that this was a conference room, and Qingqing was sobbing in the arms of a middle-aged man in his thirties.
Seeing Ji Yunxiao, the man asked Qingqing in his arms: "Qingqing, who is this." ”
"Big brother, Brother Ye, they are all dead, and it was this Mr. Chu who sent me back safely. Qingqing thought of the death of that Ye guard, and the huge tears couldn't help but flow.
"Little Brother Chu, thank you for escorting Qingqing back safely this time, this is the 30,000 gold coin reward that Ye Hua promised you. The middle-aged man threw Ji Yunxiao a purple metal card and a token of the Lingyan mercenary group.
"Is this ......" Ji Yunxiao asked a little stunned.
"In the future, if Little Brother Chu encounters some trouble in Yanluo City, come to me. The middle-aged man said elegantly.
"Okay, then thank you, Commander. Ji Yunxiao responded with a smile.
......
After leaving the Lingyan mercenary group, Ji Yunxiao went to replenish the necessities for entering the desert, such as water, food, maps, and clothes, among which water is the most important, without water, Ji Yunxiao will not survive for three days in the hot desert at all, and in terms of food, Ji Yunxiao buys mostly dried meat, Dried fish and other foods that are not easy to spoil and have a long shelf life, and then there is the map, without the map, the person who enters the desert will lose his direction the next day, if he can't find the right way out, the final outcome is to turn into a touch of yellow sand in the desert, and finally the clothes, in the desert, the temperature difference between day and night is very large, the day is tens of degrees high, and the night is a few degrees below zero, and the clothes worn during the day in the desert are also very particular, to wear that kind of wide robe, let the air circulate.
After preparing all this, Ji Yunxiao was ready to enter the depths of the desert and find the hottest place in the Seven Domains, the Burning Flame Lake!
