Chapter 56: Opposites
On the horizon, a blush gradually poked its head out. The branches and leaves of the treetops were also dyed a pale red, and the humidity in the air gradually faded. The white mist was mixed with red light, and from a distance, it looked like a woman's rouge. The swiftlets tighten their wings and glide through the air, and early morning is the best time for them to hunt.
In the morning mist, the figures of Makino and others gradually became clear. After a few breaths, Niu Zang was the first to stop. Behind him was Makino, his uneven breath at this time, beads of sweat sliding down his forehead and dripping onto the mud. After a night of endless travel, Makino and the others finally arrived at the outskirts of Beiyun City. This rapid journey can make them tired enough, even Makino's physique almost fell behind because the breath in his body couldn't keep up. Not to mention the other four, who gasped for breath one by one as soon as they stopped, and collapsed to the ground with limp limbs.
"Uncle Niu, how did we retreat, it's like running for our lives. Long Xiao pulled open the collar and kept fanning the wind, his clothes were already soaked, and his face was very pale, if Niu Zang stopped later, he would have fainted.
"You want to be like this, Uncle Niu! Running with you is simply holding me back, it's dawn and we have just arrived in Beiyun City. ”
It's not that Niu Zang doesn't take care of them, it's that he really doesn't feel at ease. Now that he knows Long Xiao's identity, there must be a lot of power behind the person who dares to be so heavy-handed. If the opponent's master appears, he alone may not be able to keep Makino and the others.
Makino wiped the sweat from his face, calmed down and said, "Senior, I think we should hurry into the city." lest something go wrong. ”
Ushizo looked at Makino, although his face didn't change. But he couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart, a third-stage martial artist could actually keep up with his speed. This kind of physique is really rare.
"You're right, little things, get up and don't rub around. After saying that, Niu Zang pulled Long Xiao up and left, and after Makino also helped the two women up, he pulled Yazhuo to follow Niu Zang.
Azhuo became demented after eating the Cracked Memory Worm by mistake, in order to avoid him from causing trouble on the way. Niu Zang deliberately ordered a few acupuncture points on his Heavenly Spirit cover to make him less excited. Although the Memory Splitting Worm is poisonous, it is not a strange poison, as long as they enter the Long family and use their family's strength, there will definitely be a way to heal it.
In the early morning, Beiyun City had a more mysterious sense than usual, and the six-meter-high gray marble city wall exuded a sense of ancient charm and restraint against the background of white mist. The bronze gates glowed with a dull golden glow in the morning light. The soldiers standing majestically on the city wall had serious faces and cold eyes shining with cold light. There was no sign that they had been standing all night. Seeing a figure swaying in the distance, one of the soldiers shouted, "Who's ahead!"
"Long family Niu Zang, open the door for me!" Niu Zang is a member of the Long family after all, and his words reveal a sense of arrogance.
It was not normal for someone to enter the city in the early morning, and the white fog blocked the view. Naturally, the soldiers did not dare to open the door rashly. "Excuse me. This time the soldier used honorifics, after all, the other party reported the name of the Long family. If you really slack off, you will have to suffer.
Niu Zang naturally understood people, and immediately threw out the tag on his waist. The sign drew a yellow line in the air and landed in front of the soldier without missing a beat. The sign has a unique appearance, with a dragon head carved on the front and dragon scales carved on the back. The entire sign is gilded to look very atmospheric, and this unique sign is only owned by the Long family in the world.
After checking that everything was correct, several soldiers immediately pushed the wheel on the city wall. With a dull creak, the gates slowly opened. Without saying a word, Niu Zang led Makino and the others into Beiyun City, and just after passing the city gate, a soldier respectfully sent the sign to Niu Zang. After Niu Zang took it, he walked quickly towards the Long family's house.
The Long family's mansion is located in the center of Beiyun City, north of the Imperial Palace. It was a prime location in the entire Beiyun City, and it could be seen how much the royal family valued the Long family. Today's queen is Long Xiao's aunt, and in private, Long Xiao has to be called Uncle Hongshi.
Following Niu Zang's pace, the group came to the Long family's house after a while. The servants guarding the door, a cow and a dragon, began to salute.
"Where's the master?" asked Niu Zang, helping the servant up.
"My family just woke up and is now having breakfast in the lobby. ”
As soon as the servant finished speaking, Niu Zang stepped through the door. "Big brother, big brother!" is as his name suggests, and his voice is as loud as that of an ox.
"Shout, shout, shout, your sister-in-law is still sleeping. Another man's voice came from inside the house, and by this time Niu Zang had already led everyone to the front of the lobby. When he saw Niu Zanglongxing, he pointed his nose and scolded: "When will you be able to collect your broken voice, it will be like a quarrel when you say a word." ”
Long Xing's appearance can be said to be an adult version of Long Xiao, with shoulder-length black hair fixed behind him by a headband. Two sword eyebrows with a pair of sharp eyes. It gives people the feeling of dominating one side, and his broad shoulders and thick body make him exude the aura of a strong man.
If Niu Zang had been in the past, he would have had a few words with Long Xing, but this time Niu Zang was surprisingly good-tempered. He pulled Long Xing over and whispered a few words. The latter's facial expression instantly condensed, and then a majestic wave of qi emanated from his body. The ground beneath Long Xing's feet began to crack, and spread outward very quickly.
"Dad. "Long Xiao, who is very arrogant outside, is like a little tiger in front of his father. He naturally knew why his father was so angry, as a descendant of the Long family. He has the future of the Long family on his shoulders, and how can he protect his family when he has lost his spiritual vein and cannot cultivate.
"You come with me. Long Xing's eyebrows had already squeezed together, and his fists clenched and blood bulged. At this time, his heart was like a fire dragon lodged. Seeing his father so angry, Long Xiao couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart. This is not cowardice, but is intimidated by the majesty of his father.
After saying that, Long Xing brushed his sleeves and left, and Long Xiao also followed closely and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Weird~ How can this father and son be so similar. Makino said coldly, and everyone around him couldn't figure out where his attention was.
"Little things, don't sit casually. It's no wonder that my eldest brother is so irritable and ignores you. "Although Niu Zang is not surnamed Long, he is an important member of the Long family. Since childhood, he and Long Xing were born and died, and the two have long become friends of life and death. Unlike Niu Zang, Ryuxing is very calm and very intelligent. This is the head of the Long family and the prime minister of the Immortal Kingdom.
"I'll take this friend of yours with me, and I'll give it back to you tomorrow. "Only Niu Zangyu Makino and others are left in the lobby, and the former is naturally unwilling to talk nonsense with a bunch of little children. This would make him very uncomfortable, and he immediately pulled Yazhuo away.
At this time, there were only three people left in the lobby, Makino, Hanaxiang and Lingxin. Seeing that there were no outsiders, Makino unceremoniously cocked Erlang's legs, grabbed a pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
"This big family's dim sum is good, do you want to have some? Makino had something in his mouth, and as he spoke, he spewed out fragments from time to time.
Hana Xiang took the pastry handed by Makino, and then burst out laughing, Makino was cute in her eyes. But Lingxin was a little helpless, and when she saw her own sect master's appearance, she didn't know how to answer.
"Brother Makino, do you think Azhuo can be okay?" asked Hana Xiang as she ate the pastry in her hand.
"This Split Memory Worm is not a strange poisonous thing, with the ability of the Long family, I don't think there should be much of a problem. But Long Xiao was a little hanging, hoping that old thing had a way. Makino's eyes looked into the depths of the mansion, and he could sense that there was an extremely strong presence in the dragon family.
"Sect Master, who will be the one who calculates us this time?" Lingxin asked softly, although there was no one around, she was still very cautious.
"In the Immortal Kingdom, who is the rival of the Long family?"
"The Mo family. ”
"What was the name of the man I killed?"
"Moyun!"
A short conversation hits the nail on the head. Lingxin thought for a moment, and then said: "The Mo family and the Long family have always been well water and river water, why did they suddenly make a move?"
"We don't know about the affairs of the court, but I always feel that this immortal kingdom is not too peaceful. Makino said it surprisingly loudly, as if someone wanted to hear it.
