In Hegu City, Lin Liang and his party swaggered through the city gate, and the smelter's robe and the banner of the Shangyang City branch fluttering at the front made Lin Liang and the others pass through the city gate directly, not to mention queuing, no one even dared to come forward to ask for the entrance fee.

Yan Yu, Xue Hua, He Wenxu and Wu Xiu'er behind Lin Liang looked at the surrounding environment with a look of surprise, this was the first time they had come to a city of the same level or even type as Shangyang City, compared to the surprised gaze of Yan Yu and the four people, Lin Liang was looking at the changes or reactions of the crowd around them.

It stands to reason that Lin Liang and his party came to receive the rewards of the two divisions on behalf of the Shangyang City Branch, and the smelters of the surrounding Hegu City Branch should not have any good feelings about their arrival, but from the eyes of the smelters of the Hegu City Branch in the surrounding crowd, Lin Liang did not feel the so-called malice at all, but most of the smelters of the Hegu City Branch showed arrogance and surprise in their eyes?

Arrogance and surprise are not difficult to understand for Lin Liang, being able to suppress the Shangyang City Branch, one of the eight divisions of the Instrument Alliance, which was once high, for twenty years, if there is no bit of arrogance in his eyes, it would be a strange thing, as for the surprise, I am afraid that it is because Lin Liang is the only group of smelters who have come to Hegu City on behalf of the Shangyang City Branch in the past twenty years since the Hegu City Branch defeated the Shangyang City Branch, and Lin Liang wondered why these smelters of the Hegu City Branch did not have a little malice in their eyes when they looked at them.

Lin Liang frowned and walked in front, the flag in his hand was unwavering, the target was directly aimed at the Hegu City branch located in the center of Hegu City, although the pedestrians on the road were very curious about Lin Liang's team of smelters from the Shangyang City branch, but they still gave way one after another, and at the door of the Hegu City branch, Li Dongshui was already standing there waiting for Lin Liang and his party to arrive.

Looking at the flag flying in the air representing the Shangyang City Branch, Li Dongshui couldn't help but twitch, but soon returned to his original state, smiled and greeted Lin Liang and said, "Lin Xiaoyou has finally arrived, but let me, the head of the Hegu City Branch, wait!"

Hearing this, Lin Liang's face twitched first, and when he saw clearly the dozens of fourth-order smelters following behind Li Dongshui, Lin Liang had already scolded in his heart, just to greet these little people, Li Dongshui personally greeted them, even if he brought so many high-level smelters, didn't he want to give him a dismount?

When Lin Liang was scolding in his heart, he didn't know that Li Dongshui on the other side was also scolding in his heart, but the object of the scolding was the few warriors who were responsible for delivering the news. If he had known that Lin Liang still had the banner representing the Shangyang City branch in his hand, he would not have summoned so many high-level smelters even if he died.

Originally, he just wanted to give Lin Liang a dismount, but with this flag in hand, the smelters present except Li Dongshui all had to salute this flag representing the Shangyang City Branch, you must know that the Hegu City Branch is not exactly him Li Dongshui alone has the final say, these high-level smelters also have a temper, and now that the flag is in Lin Liang's hands, isn't saluting the flag equivalent to saluting Lin Liang, how can these high-level smelters suffer?

However, Lin Liang didn't know the rules about the flag at all, and before he came, Fang Yu only told him to hold the flag in his hand when he entered Hegu City, so now after Li Dongshui finished greeting and the two sides looked at each other, both sides fell into silence, although Yan Yu and the four of them didn't understand what was going on, but at this time, Lin Liang didn't speak first, and they had to remain silent, while Yue Xian'er, who understood the situation, covered her mouth and forcibly endured the smile on her face.

"Ahem, Minister Lao Li came to greet him in person, which is really distressing for the juniors. In the end, Lin Liang still spoke, after all, Li Dongshui opened his mouth to say hello first, if he didn't return the courtesy, he would lose the face of the Shangyang City Branch! At that moment, Lin Liang respectfully took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Dongshui: "This is the letter that Master Fang Yu, the minister of our Shangyang City Branch, asked the junior to transfer to Minister Li, and asked Minister Li to accept it." ”

"Oh, Brother Fang's letter to me, then I have to take a good look at it, after all, the distance between the Hegu City branch and the Shangyang City branch is not close. Li Dongshui took the letter handed by Lin Liang with a haha, but he didn't open it immediately, but took it into his arms, and then the scene fell into a deathly silence.

Seeing this, Lin Liang couldn't help but sigh, and immediately turned his heart sideways, and immediately said to Li Dongshui and the many high-level smelters behind him: "Junior third-order smelter Lin Liang greets ......"

"No need to be polite! No need to be polite!" Seeing Lin Liang lower his head, Li Dongshui hurriedly opened his mouth to interrupt what Lin Liang said, and then wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead without a trace, and said to Lin Liang with a smile: "Lin Xiaoyou doesn't need to be so restrained, my Hegu City Branch and Shangyang City Branch have been friends for many years, and I, Li Dongshui and Fang Yu, have also been friends for many years, so I don't need to be so polite between my family!"

Saying that, Li Dongshui handed a token to Lin Liang and said: "I already know Lin Xiaoyou's intention, speaking of which, the time when you came is really a coincidence, seven days later is the time for the opening of the Cloud Dream Realm, I have arranged for a few of you to have a rest place in the Panyun Inn in the city, this token can ensure your safety in Hegu City, and I hope Lin Xiaoyou will take it away." ”

Lin Liang took the token handed by Li Dongshui with a blank face, and when he reacted, Li Dongshui had already led a group of high-level smelters into the Hegu City branch like hiding from the plague god, and only Lin Liang and his party were left standing at the empty Hegu City branch entrance.

Smack!

Yue Xian'er stepped forward and patted Lin Liang's shoulder, and said helplessly: "Let's go, go to the inn first, and wait until you get to the inn." ”

Lin Liang came to his senses at this time, nodded and put away the token in his hand, and immediately walked towards Panyun Inn with Yan Yu and the others.

"What are those people who deliver the news doing? Why is something as conspicuous as the Fire Refining Banner not mentioned at all in the news? Are you all blind?"

Li Dongshui's roar sounded again in the minister's room, and the minister's room that had just been cleaned up was already in a mess. Li Dongshui wantonly vented the anger in his heart, if he hadn't reacted quickly today and didn't let Lin Liang take a salute first, otherwise Lin Liang's salute would continue, and he would have to leave the Hegu City branch up!

After roaring for a long time, he seemed to be a little tired, Li Dongshui sighed, and ordered outside the minister's room: "Go, spread the news of opening the Cloud Dream Realm in seven days all over the city!"

"Yes!" echoed the echo outside the minister's room, and silence returned to the minister's room.

"What are you talking about? This thing can make those high-level smelters have to salute me?"

In the Panyun Inn, Lin Liang looked at the flag in his hand in a daze, and Yan Yu and the others sitting around him also looked incredulous.

"It's not to salute you, it's to salute the flag in your hand!" Yue Xian'er corrected: "Since Minister Fang is willing to let you bring this Xuanqi Fire Refining Flag, didn't he tell you about the function and effect of this flag?"

"No!" Lin Liang shook his head and said, "Minister Fang just gave me this fire refining flag and a letter, saying that he would hand over the letter to Li Dongshui, and then take it out when the flag entered the city, but he didn't say what the use of this flag was!"

"Tsk, it seems that both sides are stumbling by mistake!"

Yue Xian'er sighed and explained: "This flag is called the Fire Refining Flag, it can be said to be the face of the Shangyang City Branch, if you travel with it, it is equivalent to representing the Instrument Alliance, except for the length of the first order or the smelters below the third order, the smelters of other levels must salute respectfully, even the sixth-order smelters are no exception!"

"On behalf of the Instrument Alliance?" Lin Liang asked puzzledly: "But doesn't this Fire Refining Flag only represent the Shangyang City Branch?" I remember that when Li Dongshui brought the smelters of the Hegu City Branch to the Shangyang City Branch to participate in the battle between the two departments, it was also like this when Li Dongshui brought the smelters of the Hegu City Branch to participate in the battle between the two departments, could it be that their flags also represent the Instrument Alliance?"

"That's right, the effect of the Water Refining Banner of the Hegu City Branch is the same as the Fire Refining Banner in your hand, and walking outside also represents the Instrument Alliance. Yue Xian'er said affirmatively: "No matter how many contradictions or infighting there are between the eight smelting veins within the Instrument Alliance, on the surface, the eight smelting veins are still one, and the eight branches of the Instrument Alliance are also allies, which cannot be changed, because the Instrument Alliance represents the smelters of the entire Big 6, not just a certain branch or a certain vein." ”

"In this way, I had a draw with Li Dongshui today!" "After knowing the role of the Fire Refining Flag, Lin Liang finally knew the real reason for Li Dongshui's strange reaction, and couldn't help but laugh: "I think the scene at that time must be very interesting, Li Dongshui brought many high-level smelters to give me a dismount, but I just met the Fire Refining Flag, and I just didn't know the role of the Fire Refining Flag.

Hearing this, everyone also laughed, no one cared about the last few words of Yue Xian'er about the internal Qi Alliance, only Lin Liang recalled Yue Xian'er's previous words with a wry smile.

Clapping his hands, Lin Liang said: "Okay, there are still seven days of Cloud Dream Realm will be opened, during this time, everyone should rest and prepare well, and at the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, except for me and Yue Xian'er, none of you are allowed to leave the inn, after all, in the inn, although it is under the supervision of the Hegu City branch, it is at least safe." ”

Yan Yu and the four of them had no opinion on Lin Liang's words, and they all hugged their fists and went to their respective rooms, I have to say that after more than a month of travel, although the cooperation of the whole team is not perfect, but at least Lin Liang's order has made Yan Yu and the four of them unconsciously choose to accept Lin Liang's command.
