Zhuang Ming let out a long breath, he knew that he had made the right bet.

While comforting Father Zhuang, he took Ying'er's hand, and walked towards the center of the city under the leadership of the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Aren't you going to the City Lord's Mansion?" Zhuang Ming asked the soldiers on the side suspiciously.

He already knew that the castle lord's mansion was on Mt. Chiba and should go north, but they continued to walk east along the main road of the city.

The soldier was not stupid, seeing that Lian girl was going to take this person to the City Lord's Mansion, she naturally did not treat her like an ordinary prisoner, and explained with a smile: "Qianye Mountain is ten thousand feet high, if you use it, I don't know how long it will take to go up, there is the yamen of our City Lord's Mansion in front, and there will naturally be flying beasts to carry us up at that time." ”

"Flying beasts?" Zhuang Ming looked at him puzzled.

"Actually, it's just a means of transportation. The soldier smiled: "Chiba City is backed by the Great Wilderness of the Northern Regions, and there are countless wild beasts of all kinds, flying beasts are among the wild fowls, and there are many adventurers to catch and domesticate, which is not a rare thing in Chiba City." ”

The soldier and Zhuang Ming chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the yamen that the soldier said.

During this period, Zhuang Ming learned a lot about the Zhou family from the soldiers.

It turns out that the reason why the Zhou family is so powerful is because they almost monopolize the business of the entire dream beast in Chiba City, and almost everyone in the city residents of Chiba City has their own dream beast, and the price of the dream beast is not cheap, so the Zhou family has unimaginable wealth. Because of this, he has a huge amount of resources, which makes the City Lord's Mansion jealous.

Lian girl stepped down from the sedan chair and walked towards the yamen first.

There is a hole inside this yamen, and a huge square appears in front of Zhuang Ming.

There were more than a dozen huge birds parked in the square, each one larger than the largest plane Zhuang Ming had ever seen. The bird has two rows of special seats on its back, which looks a little like an airplane.

"Wow, what a big bird!"

Ying'er couldn't help but exclaim, the little girl has seen the same kind of birds since she was a child.

A person in charge hurriedly walked up to Miss Lian and said, "My lord wants to use flying beasts?"

"I'm going home, you get ready right away. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll go and prepare. ”

The steward hurried towards the square, shouting as he ran: "Prepare to take off, prepare to take off!"

Hearing the voice of the steward, the samurai Fu shouted again.

"Ready to take off!"

"Ready to take off!"

The samurai throughout the square began to get busy.

The soldiers of the iron-clad guard began to jump on the flying beasts one after another, and even the girl looked at Zhuang Ming and said, "You follow me." ”

Zhuang Mingyan looked at Zhuang's father and Ying'er.

"Don't worry, they'll be fine, I just want to have a good chat with you. ”

Even the girl smiled and glanced at the name of the village, and left.

Ying'er was very uneasy, but under the comfort of Zhuang Ming, she still climbed on a flying beast with Zhuang's father.

Zhuang Ming chased after Miss Lian with peace of mind.

Miss Lian was already sitting on top of a white flying beast at this time.

This flying beast is much more beautiful than the other flying beasts, and there are only two chairs, and there is even a coffee table in the middle of the two chairs, and a set of tea sets are placed.

I'm sure I'm going to enjoy it.

It's also true that no matter what world it is, there are always some people who enjoy unique privileges.

Zhuang Ming climbed up the ladder next to the flying beast and sat down next to Miss Lian.

A samurai took the ladder away.

"Wow!" a birdsong sounded.

The two flying beasts flew first.

Lian girl picked up a long pole on the side, lightly tapped the head of the white flying beast and said, "White kite, let's go too." ”

Hearing this, the white kite stood up and flew towards the sky, his body was steady, and he didn't even bump the tea set on the side.

Zhuang Ming turned his head and looked back, Father Zhuang and Ying'er were sitting on a flying beast not far away, and Ying'er was looking around curiously.

Zhuang Ming looked down at him, there are white clouds constantly passing in Zhuang Ming's sight, and the buildings in Chiba Castle are constantly getting smaller, thousands of pavilions, roads and vertical and horizontal, all in Zhuang Ming's eyes, not far from the huge Chiba Mountain, countless slender and beautiful buildings, forming a huge wall, blocking the scenery further north, but there is a unique flavor.

"Do you know why I didn't hand you over to the Zhou family?"

Miss Lian's voice sounded in Zhuang Ming's ears, and he turned around and saw Miss Lian looking at Mount Chiba not far away. His expression was solemn, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"The Zhou family is too powerful!" Without waiting for Zhuang Ming to answer, even the girl said again, but there was some helplessness in her tone.

Zhuang Ming knows it in his heart. He studied history and understood too well that when the ruler of a country bluntly said that a certain family in the ruling area was too powerful, it often represented bloodshed.

He looked at Chiba Castle below him, and seemed to smell the pungent smell of blood.

I don't know how many conspiracies and tricks are playing out in this city.

"Then why would the City Lord's Mansion let the Zhou family grow bigger. Zhuang Ming couldn't help but ask, he really couldn't understand how an official force could allow a civilian force to grow to the point where it was uncontrollable.

Miss Lian didn't answer Zhuang Ming's doubts, but instead pointed to the wall of Chiba Castle in the distance and asked, "Do you know who this wall is used to defend against?"

Zhuang Ming looked in the direction pointed by Lian Girl's finger, and the huge city wall that stretched for hundreds of miles surrounded Chiba Castle.

When he first arrived in Chiba Castle, he was deeply shocked by the hundred-foot-high city walls, and he also questioned why a city needed such tall walls.

looked at Miss Lian suspiciously, Zhuang Ming knew what she would say.

"Chiba City is backed by the Great Wilderness of the Northern Regions, and further north, there are the Eternal Night Clan, they are more powerful than humans, they can drive the Great Wilderness Beasts, they are very intelligent, they have invaded the south countless times, plundering human cities. Although this is just a drop in the bucket for the huge Kyushu, for my Chiba City, it is a catastrophe. ”

Lian girl sighed, she looked at the huge city below her, and her eyes showed a deep affection.

"My ancestors fought the Eternal Night several times and gave their lives for the city. The City Lord's Mansion is well aware of the strength of the Eternal Night Clan, so it is preparing for a possible war all the time, and for the City Lord's Mansion, a showdown with the Zhou family means war and huge losses. This loss cannot be afforded by the City Lord's Mansion. ”

"It's incredible!" Zhuang Ming didn't expect that there was such a story behind the City Lord's Mansion, and he felt incredible.

Lian girl looked at Zhuang Ming and said with a smile: "The person you killed is the current head of the Zhou family, Zhou Jie's third son, he has been a waste since he was a child, and he has done nothing in practice, I can crush him to death with one finger, but although he is not valued by the Zhou family, he is Zhou Jie's son after all, so he is arrogant and arrogant, which is really hateful." ”

Lian girl said meaningfully to Zhuang Ming: "Now that you have killed him, it is really happy, but from now on, the Zhou family is afraid that they will do everything possible to kill you." ”

Lian girl paused and said, "I saved you, but I was under a lot of pressure." ”

When Zhuang Ming heard this, he sighed in his heart, although he had long understood this, but when he thought of the strength of the Zhou family, he still felt extremely troublesome. He knew that Miss Lian saved him not only because he killed Zhou Yu, but also because he had other considerations, so he smiled bitterly at Miss Lian: "I know that I have caused trouble to the girl, what is the matter with the girl, although I say it bluntly, the name of the village is not resigned." ”

Lian girl smiled, she pointed to a beautiful white building on the top of Chiba Mountain not far in front of her and said: "That place is called Thousand Illusions Academy, it is the top five colleges in the entire Lianzhou, where the strong are like clouds, the geniuses are like rain, and countless heroes in the entire Lianzhou are all proud to enter the Thousand Illusions." ”

Zhuang Ming looked at her suspiciously.

Lian Girl's eyes were slightly cold, and she looked at him and said, "I want you to go to the Thousand Illusions Academy." ”
