Chapter 60: Out of the City
Lin Quan's heart sank, he didn't know who would disturb him at this time, his brows furrowed, and he couldn't help but get up and open the door of the secret room.
However, when he saw the figure outside clearly, his expression couldn't help but be shocked, and he exclaimed, "Why are you here, but do you have any urgent tasks?"
The visitor nodded silently, and without waiting for Lin Quan to ask again, he flashed into the house like a ghost.
"Your Excellency has a letter to you. He completely concealed his body in the black cloak and handed Lin Quan a letter in a deep voice, "In a month, the adults will come to the Lingdu in person, you must be prepared." ”
Lin Quan solemnly took the letter, nodded, and said, "There is nothing wrong with other things, but the last one of the three questions explained by the adults is still a little troublesome." ”
Seeing that the other party was frowning faintly, he couldn't help but tell him about Shu Ye's situation carefully.
"Let people keep an eye on that kid, and within a month, he must solve that problem. The person who came said solemnly, "Otherwise, it will be very troublesome at that time." ”
"I understand. Lin Quan replied in a deep voice, "I will let the elite in the cabinet keep an eye on him, and I won't let him run away." ”
"That's good. The person who came nodded, "There are many forces that covet that thing, you and I must be careful, and we must not spoil the affairs of adults." ”
He explained a few words to Lin Quan, and without waiting for the other party to respond, he flashed out of the room like a ghost again and disappeared into the night.
Lin Quan watched his departure in silence, glanced left and right, and then closed the door tightly, took out the letter, and opened it with a nervous face.
To his surprise, there were only three words in his heart, iron halberd and silver hook, and the edge was cold.
"Tianxingzhu!" Lin Quan's pupils shrank, and he exclaimed, "What do you mean, my lord?"
He pondered for a moment, and seeing that he did not understand the point at all, he could not help but stare at it carefully, and read the letter again, only to see that at the end of the parchment, in addition to its original color, there was also an understatement drawing of an iron hammer.
"This ......" Lin Quan suddenly saw the iron hammer, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he said secretly, "This is the Purple Thunder Sect's Heavenly Star Hammer, is this what the Lord wants me to ......?"
He was drenched in cold sweat, hurriedly collected the letter, and rushed to the hall of the Ming Pavilion.
After arriving at the hall, he quickly summoned a few close subordinates with a secret order, and only after confirming that there was no one around, did he solemnly say to a few people: "Use the secret language to send an order to the Purple Thunder Sect to let Bai Tu come here, if he doesn't come, tell him that in two months, since someone has come up to the mountain to find him, he will be responsible for all the consequences." ”
Several people nodded in a deep voice, and after he finished speaking, without waiting for him to tell again, they instantly dispersed like ghosts.
After a few people disappeared, Lin Quan glanced coldly in the direction of the imperial city, and with a sweep of the cold light in his hand, he rolled the sheepskin clenched in his palm into ashes.
"The Lingdu before the storm is really quiet. He stared at the night sky and sighed deeply.
Seeing that there were only two hours left before dawn, he muttered for a while, and couldn't help but gather people and began to prepare for sending Shu Ye out of the city.
After Shu Ye returned to the room, he lay on the table and slept for a while, and was woken up by Lin Quan again.
"Master Shu, let's go. When the sky was just revealing the white of the fish's belly, Lin Quan stationed his horse in the courtyard and shouted to Shu Ye across the room, "In this hour, the general who guards the city in Dongcheng is from my Ming Pavilion, and he can take the opportunity to send Shu Gongzi and Bai Girl out of the city." ”
Shu Ye woke up from sleep, listened to his words, quickly responded, put the medicinal herbs and clothes in a bag, and walked out of the room with the Moon Princess on his back.
Under the leadership of Lin Quan, he went straight into the front yard of Ming Pavilion, only to see that a team of strong men and horses in the courtyard had already been prepared.
"Brother Lin, this is ......" Shu Ye looked at the many people in front of him and asked suspiciously.
"There happens to be a shipment of goods sent to the north in the cabinet that needs to leave the city. Lin Quan smiled, "Going to you like this won't be too suspicious." ”
Shu Ye nodded, although he had doubts about his arrangement, he didn't ask much.
In order not to attract attention, Lin Quan simply found a carriage and a tall horse, and disguised Shu Ye and the others as his family members and stuffed them into the carriage of the team.
Then, as soon as he gave an order, he rushed out with all the horses in the courtyard and rushed to the east gate of the Lingdu.
A whole team of dozens of people, under the banner of Ming Pavilion, crossed the streets defended by the Yulin Army without hindrance, and came to the east gate of the Lingdu.
Before the gates were opened, many people from the city gathered in front of the gates, noisy, full of anxiety and waiting.
Before the people in line, there were more than a dozen carts parked under the city gate, loaded with heavy iron boxes, inserted with the iconic flag of the Ming Pavilion, and a group of powerful men surrounded the carts, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened.
Everyone saw that the pavilion master Lin Quan personally arrived with a pair of people and horses, and the many big men surrounding the cart couldn't help but immediately salute respectfully and get out of the way.
"General Chen, open the door!" Lin Quan glanced at the castle tower above him and shouted in a deep voice.
A general of armor standing on the tower of the city estimated the time, nodded, and with a wave of his palm, he let his men open the city gate.
"Thank you!" Lin Quan said lightly.
The reins in his hand froze, and with an order, he asked all the big men to quickly push the cart full of iron boxes out of the city, so that Shu Ye and the others who were hiding in the carriage followed.
Seeing that all the carts loaded with iron boxes were leaving the city, the carriage where Shu Ye and Princess Yue were was was about to pass through the city gate.
Suddenly, a huge roar suddenly came from far and near: "The mighty king has an order, close the city gate immediately, everyone in the city, etc., will not be able to leave the city in these two months, and those who violate the order will be killed!"
The person who came was a golden-armored warrior with a heavy sword, with a dignified killing intent, as fast as a wind.
Shu Ye saw through the gap in the carriage that this person was the man who followed him and Princess Yue from the prison the day before yesterday and forced himself into the imperial city, he was shocked in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly say: "It's miserable!"
With his words, the wide gate of Lingdu City's fine iron began to slowly close under the huge force.
"All the people in front of the city gate shall retreat into the city, and if they do not obey, they will be cut down immediately. He shouted in a deep voice.
"Don't pay attention to it, go out!" Lin Quan glanced at the visitor coldly, and reminded Shu Ye in a soft voice.
Immediately, without waiting for Shu Ye to react, he slapped his backhand and quickly hit the horse in front of the carriage on the back buttocks.
Under Lin Quan's palm, the horse raised its head to the sky and neighed, and without waiting for a reaction, it galloped towards the slowly closing city gate with four hooves like a fly.
"Whoever trespasses on the city gates will be killed!" the herald's man roared violently, and his figure leaped from his horse.
The heavy sword in his hand was unsheathed with lightning bolting, and the power of the knife like a mountain raged across the country, tearing through the void and slashing down towards the carriage that rushed to the city gate.
The strength broke through the air, and the killing intent was chilling.
Shu Ye's pupils shrank, the black sword in his hand roared out of the sheath, and he stood up in the carriage, the sword blade roared angrily in the air, condensing a strong internal force, and facing the heavy knife that split the sky.
"Let's go!" Lin Quan shouted violently.
His body was like an eagle, and he swept through the void like lightning, and with a stretch of his right arm, he instantly dragged the man who was slashed by the void to the ground.
The man slashed out with a backhand, angrily forcing Lin Quan away, wanting to chase again, but it was too late.
The tall carriage passed through the slowly closing gate of the city and quickly crossed the iron bridge of the moat, and disappeared outside the city.
Shu Ye's tense mind relaxed, put the sword in its sheath, came to the carriage, and galloped away on his horse towards the south.
This 3,000-mile journey will be reached within half a month, and Shu Ye doesn't know if he can make it in time.
The Moon Princess was in a bumpy carriage and was in a coma until the next day.
The fever on her body had completely subsided, and the weakness of excessive blood loss had recovered somewhat after more than two days of coma, and her consciousness had become clear again.
She slowly stood up and got out of the carriage, only to realize that she had already left Lingdu City and was in a wilderness.
The carriage stopped on the side of the road, the horse bowed its head and ate the grass, snorting, not far away, a young man squatted on the ground, holding a book, carefully boiling medicinal herbs, and the distant heaven and earth, the grass was secluded, and the wind blowing carried a fresh earthy smell......
Princess Yue had never felt so peaceful in her heart, so she took a deep breath of air and walked towards Shu Ye, who was squatting and boiling medicine.
The sound of broken footsteps alarmed Shu Ye, he looked back at the Moon Princess who was walking slowly, and said: "We have traveled in the starry night, we have been on the road for two days in a row, take a rest and then leave, although you have woken up, but the injury is still very serious, and you will have to drink medicine for a month, and it may be better." ”
"Thank you!" Princess Yue approached him, slowly squatted down, glanced at the book in his hand curiously, and said in surprise, "This is the Heavenly Sword Sect's Qi Condensation Method, I didn't expect that you are a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect." ”
Shu Ye was stunned for a moment and asked, "Does the princess know about the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Princess Yue nodded and said, "I heard Master say that the Heavenly Sword Sect is a rare big faction in our Tianluo Domain, and it is second only to the existence of the Tianluo Sect and the Liuyun Sect. ”
When Shu Ye heard the name of the Liuyun Sect, he suddenly let out a 'huh' and asked, "Isn't the Liuyun Sect a small sect like the Flying Feather Sect, how can I hear you say that it is a more terrifying existence than the Heavenly Sword Sect." ”
"The Liuyun Sect in Beiming is just a small branch. Princess Yue said the essence, "Where the real Liuyun Sect Mountain Gate is located, I heard that it is in the distant East China Sea Sky Mulberry Mountain. ”
"I see. Shu Ye suddenly realized in his heart.
"But it's already great that you can become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Princess Yue's eyes were full of envy, "Being able to become a disciple of the Great Sect is something that countless people dream of. ”
The princess laughed. Shu Ye sighed, "I've watched this Qi Condensation Method countless times in the past few days, but I still can't understand how to condense Qi. ”
Shu Ye asked blankly, "How can I perceive the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi?"
