Chapter 81: Outside the City
Throughout the year, Yanjing can be said to be the most prosperous city in the entire Central Plains, and the closer it is to Yanjing City, the stronger the atmosphere.
Looking at the endless comings and goings, the endless flow of cars and horses and popularity, Yinzhu has long been dazzled.
She grew up in Tianji Valley, and rarely went out on weekdays, although she had also been to many towns, but she had never seen so many people.
And the twilight ballad who walked with Yinzhu, her eyes were also full of yearning and curiosity, although she had followed the old man of Twilight Tu to Yanjing, but at that time, they were considered to be responsible, and where could they have the opportunity to see the prosperity of Yanjing City, not to mention that the Twilight people live on the Tianshan Mountains all year round, so they are more longing for such a warm and prosperous life than others.
Unlike the two, Qingyang grew up in Yanjing since she was a child, because of Emperor Yang's favor, as the imperial daughter, she can still go to the city from time to time to enjoy and play, so she can be said to know everything about this.
Since the beginning, the little princess has been talking non-stop in the ears of Yinzhu and Xi Yu, like what places of interest, anecdotes, where there are good-looking clothes, where there are delicious snacks, she is like a number of treasures, Lin Qi didn't expect her to have such a good eloquence, after saying it, it is indeed immersive, and I can't help but look forward to it for a while.
The two girls of Yinzhu Xiyu had already seen their eyes, and they were intoxicated by Qingyang's words, at this time, they felt that this Yanjing City was the same as heaven and earth, and they were both amazed and yearning for a while.
At this time, Yinzhu turned around and looked at Lin Qi who was walking aside.
"Seventh brother, is what Qingyang said true?"
Looking at the silver beads with a glint in his eyes and a serious face, Lin Qi smiled unconsciously, and he was in a good mood at this time.
From just now, what Qing Yang said, he also listened to it, although the little princess does have a good eloquence, but Lin Qi, who has really seen the style of Yanjing, knows that although this girl's words are basically good, they are actually a bit exaggerated.
"This girl is talking nonsense, and she said that in my opinion, even if Yanjing is prosperous and rich, it is just a city, and it really can't compare to a paradise like Tianji Valley!"
Yinzhu was most convinced by Lin Qi, but when she heard this, she felt even happier, but Qingyang on the side was not convinced.
"Teacher, where did Qingyang say something wrong, are you biased?"
Qingyang pouted, looking extremely cute, and everyone couldn't help laughing together when they saw it.
In the laughter, Lin Qi raised his head, and saw that not far ahead, Yanjing City had come into view, thinking that he would return to this place in ten years, it would be Lin Qi, and he was also a little mixed for a while.
At the beginning on the battlefield of the northern grassland, Lin Qi completely broke with Emperor Yang, and thought that he would never return to Yanjing City in his life, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape the arrangement of fate after all.
In Yanjing City, there are also countless memories of themselves, and it is from here that he and Firefly, as well as Yutianzong, really began to become famous in the world, and it is here that he is favored by Zhang Xiao, and he is beginning to set foot in the world of the strong, and he can have such achievements today, I am afraid that it is inseparable from this experience.
Thinking about it, there was a breath that seemed like nothing, but Lin Qi suddenly woke up, he immediately stopped, raised his eyes, and saw a figure suddenly appear in the endless crowd.
Seeing this figure, Lin Qi could only show a helpless wry smile.
"Seventh brother, what's wrong with you?"
The three girls didn't know why Lin Qi stopped, and they all felt very strange, but only the twilight ballad was exciting enough, and she seemed to understand something at this time.
She followed Lin Qi's eyes and wanted to look over, and she also saw this figure.
"Zhang Xiao?"
The person in front of him is the sword god of the world, Zhang Xiao in the Sword Pavilion!
I think that at the beginning, the Dusk Ballad once followed Dudong Tu to Yanjing, and traveled between many officials, gentry, wealthy families and celebrities in Beijing, and Zhang Xiao was also related to several sides, and the rumored person in the world was the strongest person, which naturally left a deep impression on her.
For more than ten years, Zhang Xiao's face has not changed, his temperament is still the same, and the twilight ballad is recognized at a glance.
At this time, Zhang Xiao had already walked over to this side.
"Zhang Xiao?" Qingyang obviously recognized Zhang Xiao, but at this time he was a little flustered, "Did my father ask him to pick me up?"
Hearing this, Lin Qi shook his head secretly, in his opinion, Qingyang was already standing outside Yanjing City, and it was really a bit overkill to send Zhang Xiao here at this time, if Zhang Xiao was really activated, I am afraid that when Qingyang was still thousands of miles away, he would have taken it back.
In this way, Zhang Xiao can only come to find himself.
Zhang Xiao walked closer, raised his hand and clenched his fist, and actually saluted Lin Qi, seeing this situation, Lin Qi was slightly stunned, and hurriedly returned the salute, with a clear view of respect on his face.
Seeing that Lin Qi was as simple and humble as ever, Zhang Xiao smiled with satisfaction.
"Lin Qi, I haven't seen you for ten years, I heard that you have traveled all over the world over the years, looking at your style and temperament, I don't think you have wasted your time. ”
Lin Qi is dressed plainly, no different from ordinary people, along the way, he is covered in dust, where is there any outstanding style and temperament, but Zhang Xiao's words obviously mean something else, and Lin Qi knows it.
"I haven't seen him for ten years, and the demeanor of the predecessor of the sword god is still the same, so I really admire the kid. ”
The two were very polite when they met, and they talked like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time, which made the women a little confused for a while, and Qingyang saw that Zhang Xiao was not here to pick him up, which was both relieved and strange at this time.
Lin Qi had just returned to the Central Plains, and no one knew, but he didn't doubt how Zhang Xiao knew, in fact, the Sword Pavilion intelligence system was all over the world, which was even more powerful than stealing the door, but it was not so simple to go out of the city to greet him in person.
"When the kid first arrived in Yanjing, Lao seniors greeted him, I really felt a little guilty, I don't know what happened to my predecessors?"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Zhang Xiao smiled, obviously understanding what the other party meant, besides, both sides are smart people, and if they hide it at this time, it will look angry.
"Since that's the case, I'll have something to say directly, I came this time to hope that Lin Qi you won't enter the city!"
As soon as the words came out, everyone was shocked, but Lin Qi's expression was as usual.
He probably guessed what Zhang Xiao meant, but Yanjing City was in front of him, and Firefly was in the city, so he asked him not to enter the city at this time, which was really difficult for a strong man to say.
"I want to hear the explanation of the seniors first. ”
Zhang Xiao knew that it was not so easy to persuade Lin Qi, so he just nodded at this time.
"Lin Qi, I think you should know that your identity is too special now, although it has been ten years, the fact has not changed. ”
"Maybe you don't have any ideas now, but the one in the court really can't put these things down, especially when you come back, you sit down immediately such a big thing, and even once again have a profound impact on the Dahua Army, I'm afraid that even if you explain it yourself, I'm afraid no one will believe it. ”
Zhang Xiao said vaguely, but Lin Qi and Qingyang also knew who he was talking about, and even the twilight ballad could probably guess it.
"Senior, not now, but all the time, I never had any idea, if he can't figure it out now, I can't do anything, and this alone can't stop me from entering the city!"
Hearing Lin Qi's words, Zhang Xiao was not surprised.
"I know you want to go to the city, and I know what you're coming to Yanjing for, but have you ever thought about it, the reason why I did this is not only for your good, but also for Firefly!"
Zhang Xiao's words made Lin Qi stunned, and even a little unclear.
"Firefly is working very hard now, and in the entire Sword Pavilion, no one can compare with it, to surpass me, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time. ”
"Thank you seniors for everything they did for Firefly, but I think that the girl is actually not too demanding. ”
"Maybe not before, but for now, ten years later, she has to do it, you know?"
Hearing this, Lin Qi immediately fell silent, because he understood the meaning of Zhang Xiao's words.
Ten years ago, he couldn't compete with Emperor Yang and the power of the entire Dahua, so he chose to run away, and now when he comes back, he also has to face these, but this time, Firefly wants to carry it with herself, because she doesn't want to be separated from herself anymore.
Lin Qi understands the personality of Firefly Pear, and also understands that what Zhang Xiao said is true, so he has nothing to say.
"If you don't go into the city, I can still fight for some opportunities for you, and you can deal with the one in the middle, but if you insist on going your own way, I'm afraid that at that time, you will only face me!"
Zhang Xiao is not alarmist, what he said is the truth, if Lin Qi really insists on the process, then Zhang Xiao, as the master of the Sword Pavilion, must get rid of all threats to the royal family, then he and Lin Qi will fight against it, I am afraid it will not be avoidable!
Lin Qi didn't want this, Zhang Xiao didn't want to, and Firefly wouldn't want to see this kind of situation.
For a while, Lin Qi hesitated, he didn't even know what choice he should make, and even felt that there was only one choice left at present.
At this moment, a gong suddenly sounded in front of me!
Everyone looked back and saw a group of chariots and horses coming this way, with gongs sounding in front of them, incense cars and BMWs in the back, and countless guards and attendants, which looked extremely luxurious.
Looking at the clothes, these people are obviously from the palace, so it is self-evident why.
But at this time, Zhang Xiao looked a little surprised, and Lin Qi frowned even more.
