Chapter 225: The Big Man
The distance from Yujing City to Bianliang City is not close, and a large army of nearly 40,000 people will not be able to get up faster.
However, Ling Zhi was not in a hurry, and he was not in a hurry to march and fight, when he left, Zhan Mingyue had already told him that it would be postponed for three months before the dynasty would hold the election of ten people to participate in the Qingzhou competition, anyway, he would just rush back when the time came.
On the stretch of the official road, tens of thousands of iron horsemen run together, and its shape is not spectacular. However, the most striking thing is that it is guarded by the army in the center, and a team of female riders composed of all Yingying Yanyan women.
These women were naturally the female disciples of the Luoxia Sect who Ling Zhi rescued from Shang Yundun in the past, and then handed them over to Bai Bingqing's management.
Yishui's Xuanwu realm cultivation is beautiful, and his spirit is excellent, not to mention that there is Bai Bingqing, the little princess of the Ice Castle, and the peerless beauty Luo Yan.
Even if all the women were wrapped in thick armor, the invisible watery temperament still attracted countless soldiers around them to turn their heads sideways frequently, and glance at this side intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ling Zhi, I heard that you were originally born in Bianliang City, and this trip back can be regarded as a return to your hometown, right?" Bai Bingqing immediately stepped forward and teased at Ling Zhi.
Time is the best healing elixir. The ancients were not wrong about this.
Bai Bingqing was born as a little princess of the Ice Castle, and she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, but since she decided to join the Luoxia Sect, she has encountered great difficulties one after another. The first is to get on the nightmare character of Ling Zhi.
Later, Luoxiazong was destroyed, her uncle was killed, and she fell from a proud little princess to a gladiatorial slave girl for fun.
The huge gap almost made her lose hope of survival. But fortunately, when she was most painful and helpless, Ling Zhi, the thief who was eager to kill her in the past, appeared, not only to save her from fire and water, but also to be entrusted with a heavy task.
To this day, her feelings for Ling Zhi are complicated.
Say you don't hate, but my uncle died because of him, and I was humiliated by him several times, hate, but all my painful experiences ended because of him.
finally has some feelings for the Luoxia Sect, since that man is also determined to restore the sect, regardless of the previous suspicions, he gave her the greatest trust, so she decided to give up the small self for the big self.
For the time being, don't think about the complicated grievances and hatreds between the two, and first do your best to assist him in re-establishing the sect.
But, is that really the case?
Bai Bingqing may not know that as Ling Zhi's strength becomes stronger and stronger, his identity becomes more and more different, especially after knowing that he was named the king of a hundred battles by the Great Xia Kingdom, leading tens of thousands of male soldiers, and becoming the "king" of the Weizhen side, seeing Ling Zhi again, deep in her heart, there were uncontrollable ripples.
"It's a pity ......"
This shameful and Mo Ke's careful thinking to people can only be used as the deepest secret of his soul after all.
Bai Bingqing is self-aware, even if many unpleasant things have happened to the two of them in the past, just the woman beside him...... Well, it's Luo Yan, who has a face all day long, and there seems to be no one in his eyes except Ling Zhi, which is simply a loss of a woman's face.
But I also have to admit that no matter how good she looks or is, no matter how conceited she is, she is not as good as others. Moreover, she also inquired that this woman is not just a good-looking vase, her real strength is even stronger than the monster Ling Zhi.
Yes, Luo Yan's excellence hit Bai Bingqing, that kind of gap between heaven and earth, let alone competition, and even jealousy can't be born. However, if she knew that the nine princesses of the dignified Great Xia Kingdom would not be able to give birth to a sense of superiority in the face of the wild goose, she didn't know if the frustration in her heart would be less.
"Are you going home?"
Ling Zhi naturally didn't know that in just a few breaths, countless thoughts had flashed through Bai Bingqing's mind, but when he heard her suddenly mention this stubble, his brows furrowed slightly.
If that "township" is really "home", it is not wrong to say that the clothes are returning to the hometown.
It's a pity that although Bianliang City is good, it is not my family. The whole city, except for leaving a little bit of unpleasant childhood growth memories, there is no half of the people to care about close to at all.
At this time, Ling Zhi's heart suddenly moved, and a trace of expectation flashed inexplicably...... Could it be, Mother, that she has already gone back?
Is this possible?
Yujing City has almost searched for it by itself, and the news that he was canonized as the King of Hundred Battles spread, it can't be said that he is famous all over the world, at least there is no one in Yujing City who doesn't know him.
Even so, the mother did not come to him, so there was only one explanation, the mother was not in Yujing City.
Since she is no longer in Yujing City, does that mean that she has already returned to Bianliang City?
The eagerness of anticipation made Ling Zhi instinctively ignore another possibility, no, maybe he didn't ignore it, but Ling Zhi didn't dare to think about it at all.
Even if he is a human being in two lives, there is still a certain forbidden area in his life, and he is not willing to touch even half a point.
For example!
Affection!
He couldn't imagine if he would have the courage to continue if he really received bad news from his mother one day.
"Lingzhi!"
I don't know when, Luo Yan came closer, and together he stepped from his mount to Ling Zhi's horse, stretched out his white wrist and gently hugged Ling Zhi's back, "I just felt it, your heart is beating fast......
"Me!"
"Are you worried about anything?"
"I ......"
Luo Yan moved half of Ling Zhi's body, and under his eyes, close to his gaze, Luo Yan suddenly tightened the arm that held his waist, "Don't worry, I will accompany you if there is anything!"
Ling Zhi's body stiffened, looking at his own appearance reflected in Luo Yan's clear eyes, what kind of complicated face was that?
Wandering, helpless, fearful, cowardly?
"What's wrong with me?"
In a trance, Ling Zhi clenched his fists, didn't he really care about it? With his own cultivation of the natural recipe of the Heavenly Dao, and his mother was the closest person in the world, even if he was really on the other side of the world, if something really happened, how could he not have sense?
The gloom in his heart was swept away, Ling Zhi only felt in a good mood, couldn't help laughing, turned his head again, turned passive into active, hugged Luo Yan's delicate body in front of him, and hugged her soft waist from behind, "Thank you! Luo Yan, thank you!"
"Huh?" Luo Yan was dazed for a while, but he could also feel Ling Zhi's ease from the inside out, and a shallow smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's good to be able to help him!"
"The whole army obeys the order, advances at full speed, and strives to rush back to Bianliang City within half a month, and when the time comes, I will reward the three armies, and rest with all the soldiers and soldiers!"
......
Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the day of the reunion of ten thousand families, although Bianliang City is small, it is also full of festive atmosphere.
In fact, it is not because of the advent of the festival that Bianliang City is like this, as early as more than half a month ago, the whole city of Bianliang City has become very lively.
Lively gatherings can be seen everywhere, the sound of pushing cups and changing glasses and drinking is constantly wafting over the city, and even the 100-year-old curfew was lifted half a month ago, and I heard that this atmosphere will last for at least a month.
There is no other reason for all this, just because on the fifteenth day of this month, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the birthday of Ling Taichong, the lord of Bianliang City. At that time, the city lord's mansion not only set up a flowing water banquet and feasted the people in the city to celebrate for three days, but it is said that a big man was introduced to the people of the city in public.
As a result, speculation about who this so-called "big man" is has become a topic of conversation among people in the city after dinner.
"Hey, tell me, this time the City Lord's Mansion spent so much manpower and financial resources to make Ling Taichong's birthday banquet so grand, what is the purpose? ”
"Yes, yes, I also heard that on the day of the city lord's birthday banquet, a small martial arts exercise will be held on the martial arts arena of the city lord's mansion, and all young masters under the age of thirty in Bianliang City can participate, it is said that it is to select the talents of my Bianliang City, of course, it is also to cheer for the city lord's birthday, but I have heard that the person who can get the first place will have a big reward!"
"Pull it down, who doesn't know now, the eldest princess of the City Lord's Mansion, that is, Ling Ruoxin, the eldest daughter of the City Lord Ling Taichong, is back, and she is recognized as the first master of the younger generation in Bianliang City, and her cultivation is infinitely close to the Earth Martial Realm, with her participating, the others are just accompanying the prince to study!"
"Well, Brother Tai is right, I heard that Ling Ruoxin is not only an extraordinary cultivator, but also a flower and moon appearance, and is also one of the three major sects of our Great Xia Dynasty, the closed disciple of the old owner of Feixue Mountain Villa, tsk, such a talented and wealthy woman, if she can marry her, even if I am willing to reduce my life by ten years!"
"Pull it down, just your decay, what can you do if you marry into the door?
"Ahem, that's what I said, are you still serious? By the way, what you just said has Ling Ruoxin to compete, even if we go, we will accompany the prince to study, but I don't like to hear this. ”
"What's the explanation?"
"Haven't you heard? This time, the City Lord's Mansion will invite a big man to personally watch the competition of our young masters in Bianliang City, if you can be lucky enough to advance to the top ten, you can get the personal guidance of the big man, hehe, now you understand, right? Perhaps, this is the biggest reward of this martial arts show!"
As he spoke, he suddenly looked around mysteriously, and then lowered his voice and said, "I'll tell you an inside message, just listen to it yourself, don't spread it, otherwise we'll be in trouble, do you know who that big man is?"
"Who?" Several people saw his chattering appearance, and they were all aroused by curiosity, and they couldn't help but tilt their heads and ask.
"Yunyi!"
