Chapter 13: The Elite City

When Su Xueyi woke up from a coma, she had been away from Black Iron City for a long time.

Goose feather-like snowflakes are flying, and on the vast snowfield, the strong wind is raging, and the whole world is still full of biting chill.

She opened her eyes and found herself lying in a warm carriage, the blood on her body had been cleaned up, the wound was slowly healing, and the heavy wound was much better.

"Sister, you're awake. The voice of concern instantly sounded in my ears, "Are you feeling better?"

"Xiao Ye, where is this?" Su Xue sat up strongly, looked at Su Ye, and asked blankly.

The sound of the wind and snow whistling sounded in her ears, and the sound of horses' hooves kept coming, making her understand that she had left Black Iron City, but she didn't know exactly where she was going and where she was going.

"Sister, we've left Black Iron City. Su Ye said softly, "Now we are following Lord Shen and are on our way to the Absolute City. ”

"Lord Shen?" Su Xueyi was confused, "What about the Zhu family, we escaped from the Zhu family!"

"Hmm!" Su Ye nodded, looked at her bright eyes, and replied, "The Zhu family has been beheaded all over the place, and when we left the Black Iron City, Zhu Tiancheng's mind was still hanging on the city tower. Sister, the revenge of my father and mother, as well as the hatred of those uncles and aunts of the Su family, we have helped them avenge. ”

He carefully recounted everything that happened after Su Xueyi fell into a coma.

"Daddy, they know what they are doing, and they should be able to rest in peace. ”

Tears slowly slipped down Su Xueyi's face, and her bright eyes were filled with excitement and relief.

It's just that I almost lost my sister's life, and Xiao Ye couldn't help it. Su Ye remembered the moment of horror when he was surrounded by the Zhu family that day, and lowered his head with some self-reproach, "If something happens to my sister, even if Xiaoye takes revenge, what's the use?"

Su Xueyi is the last consolation in his life, and it is also the only untouchable scale in his heart.

"Don't be afraid, Xiaoye, it's all over. She held her brother's hand tightly, and a warm smile appeared on her thin and beautiful cheeks, "Sister, isn't it okay anymore?" ”

Su Ye sighed lightly and nodded, still a little afraid in her heart.

When the Zhu family collapsed, Su Xueyi's meridians were broken and her breath was completely gone, if it weren't for Shen Lian who happened to have a purple spirit pill on her body, she would have died in Su Ye's arms.

"Xiaoye, who helped to bandage these injuries on my sister's body, and my clothes......" Su Xueyi blushed a little and whispered, "Who helped me change them?"

"This is an old lady in the Black Iron City who helps my sister take care of it. Su Ye replied in a deep voice.

Su Xueyi's life was in danger that day, and everyone was temporarily placed in Tianyuan Pavilion, Mo Lao found an old woman with quick hands and feet to take care of Su Xueyi, until five days later, everyone left Black Iron City, and this old woman was still with her.

Thinking of the scene when her sister was covered in blood and didn't know whether she was alive or dead, Su Ye was still a little scared.

"Xiaoye, what about you, weren't you injured in the battle of the Zhu family?" Su Xueyi asked with concern.

In my memory, Xiao Ye was also punched by Steward Xia, and then fought hard, and was injured by countless swords, so it was impossible to have nothing at all.

"Those are flesh wounds, and they have long been healed. Su Ye grinned.

Except for the fact that he used the Heavenly Heart Technique to forcibly break through the shackles of the realm, which led to a backlash and caused the realm to fall back to the fourth order of the warrior, the sword wound on his body had indeed healed.

Ever since his body fused with the Heavenly Heart Stone, Su Ye had found that his recovery ability was already different from that of ordinary people.

"I've been cured a long time ago, how is this possible?" Su Xue didn't believe it.

Su Ye rolled up his sleeves, revealing smooth skin, and chuckled: "I don't know why, since I picked up a life in the Beiming Snow Field last time, my recovery ability is much stronger than ordinary people, as long as it is not a fatal injury, it can be basically healed in two or three days, and there will be no scars left." ”

The secret of Tianxin Stone, Su Ye thought about it for a long time, but still felt that she would not tell Su Xueyi.

"How can this be?" Su Xueyi was both surprised and delighted, "Could it be the effect of that snow wolf's inner dan?" But that snow wolf is only a fourth-order brute beast, and its inner pill shouldn't have the effect of changing the human body!"

"Whatever caused it, at least it's a good thing, so my sister shouldn't worry about me. Su Ye didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he vaguely brushed it off.

He was about to prevaricate with a reason to pass over, when the carriage suddenly shook and stopped.

"Have you arrived?" Su Xueyi felt that the noise outside the car suddenly became much stronger, and couldn't help but ask.

"I guess so. Su Ye thought that everyone had been walking in the wind and snow for seven days, and they should have arrived at the Exquisite City according to the distance, so he answered and said in a deep voice to Su Xueyi, "Sister, you stay in the car first, and I'll go down and take a look." ”

He stood up from the carriage gently, and was about to lift the curtain, but was suddenly pulled by Su Xueyi.

"Xiao Ye, I'll go down with you. Su Xueyi felt that she had slept for a long time, her whole body was sore, and she wanted to go down for a walk.

"But, sister, ...... your injury" Su Ye frowned, a little worried.

"I'm fine. Su Xueyi smiled and begged.

Su Ye hesitated for a while, looked at her sister's thin appearance, nodded, and helped her out of the car.

The wind and snow came to their faces, making the two of them shiver.

The two of them stood on the wheel, looking into the wind, only to see a majestic city standing between heaven and earth in front of them, blocking all sight, and a group of people and horses rushed out of the open city gate, stopped in front of Shen Lian, and were respectfully greeting.

"Is this the Absolute City?" Su Xueyi stared at the majestic city in front of her, and couldn't help but exclaim in her heart, "Sure enough, it's completely different from the Black Iron City. ”

In the field of vision, the entire Exquisite City was like a giant beast in the wilderness, crouching under the stretching mountains.

This city was established from east to north, facing the entire Beiming Snow Field, the city is strong and dangerous, majestic and magnificent, just like a tiger lying on the ground, holding the entire north.

Compared to Black Iron City, it is like a grain of rice is to a pearl.

The two of them only knew that Jingjue City was a big city, a prosperous pass town in the north of Great Chu, but they didn't know that it was still a snow field in the north, Lingdu in the south, a transportation hub running through the north and south of Great Chu, or a military center in the north and the hundred ethnic groups, or a national production base for refining weapons and heavy armor.

"Master Su, Miss Su......" The two of them were in a trance, and the old servant in Tsing Yi beside Shen Lian suddenly walked to the carriage and said respectfully, "My family still has some things to deal with urgently, and I can't leave immediately, so let's go into the city with the old slave first." ”

"Old Yan is polite. Su Ye helped her sister get out of the carriage and replied with a smile.

Although Yan Lao is an old servant by Shen Lian's side, his strength is close to the middle stage of the Innate Realm, and he is a veritable top master, Su Ye does not dare to slack off.

The two of them followed Yan Lao forward, walking towards the Elite City step by step, and when they walked past Shen Lian's side, they suddenly heard him and several soldiers around him discussing the war.

"You said that the Meng and Ye Hundred Clans rebelled, and the 100,000 iron troops of the Tengyun Legion have all gone to the battlefield?"

"That's true, the general personally led the troops, and the main force of the Tengyun Legion is currently stationed in the Takixue Mountain Range. ”

"A month ago, when I left the Elite City, weren't the Meng and Ye Hundred Clans fine, why did they suddenly rebel? Also, even if the Hundred Clans were only 300,000 rabble, how could they alarm the entire Tengyun Legion to attack?"

"This subordinate is not clear, I heard that it is the will of His Majesty who is angry and personally transmitted. ”

"Meng, Ye Bai Clan Rebellion?" Su Ye passed by Shen Lian's side, and when he heard the news, he was surprised in his heart.

These hundred tribes, he had learned about them when he was reading the classics before, were mixed ethnic groups that had been entrenched in the north of the Great Chu Empire for hundreds of years, bullying the weak and fearing the hard.

In the past few decades, the hundred tribes have been subjugated to the military power of the Chu State, and there has been no turmoil.

This time, if they dare to attack suddenly, they must have something to rely on, and it is estimated that the attack of the Tengyun Legion is also expected by them.

Su Ye intuitively felt that there was some conspiracy here, but with the few words he knew so far, he couldn't guess at all.

"Hey, these things are none of my business, so I better not worry about it. As if he hadn't heard anything, he walked over quickly, and said in a deep voice, "At present, the most urgent thing is to improve my cultivation as soon as possible, otherwise I really have no way to protect my sister if my life is in danger again." ”

Before Zhu Tiancheng died, he said that he had a son named Zhu Chong, who was the commander of the third battalion of warriors in Jingjue City.

Now, he and his sister have come to the Exquisite City, and the other party will never give up when he hears that the Zhu family has fallen, so he must recover his strength as soon as possible in order to resist the killing machine that is lurking in the city at all times.

Walking silently past Shen Lian's side, the three of them walked all the way south along the main main street of Exquisite City, turned a few alleys, and finally arrived at the Shen Mansion near the southern outskirts of Exquisite City.

This place is located at the southern end of the city, far from the central street, which seems a bit deserted.

Su Ye didn't expect that Shen Lian, as a refining envoy of the Peerless City, with his status second only to the city lord, would actually live in such a remote place.

"My adults don't like to be busy, so the house is more remote. Yan Lao saw his doubts and said with a smile, "Although this place is located in the southern suburbs, far away from the city, it is close to the refining workshop, which is very convenient for Lord Shen and us, but we have to temporarily grieve the two of us for a while." ”

"What did Yan Lao say. Su Ye replied gratefully, "There is a place to settle down, and my sister and I are very satisfied." ”

"Su Gongzi is a distinguished guest of my pavilion, so naturally he can't be lazy. Yan Lao slowly pushed open the door of the Shen Mansion, welcomed the two into the mansion, and said in a deep voice, "As soon as the mansion is needed, someone will send it to the door every day, if Su Gongzi and Miss Su have anything urgently needed, they can tell the old man at any time." ”

After he finished speaking, he called a few subordinates in the courtyard, carefully advised, and led the two into the courtyard on the left side of the Shen Mansion.

The mountains and rocks in the courtyard are scattered, the flowers and plants are chic, and the elegant fragrance of flowers comes to the nose, which makes Su Xueyi feel refreshed.
