Chapter 276: Supporting the Troops and Respecting Themselves
Starry Night's gaze swept around, and the power of the spirit sensed the surroundings, and he had suffered some minor injuries, which did not have much impact on his combat power.
The previous sneak attackers had retreated, and the soldiers did not stop them.
Jiang Huaicai woke up and looked around blankly, his memory was still stuck in the scene of the previous collision of the earth dragon beast.
At that moment, he was close to despair!
After seeing everything around him clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Am I okay?"
Jiang Yongde excitedly hugged him in his arms, this feeling of loss and recovery can hardly be described in words.
Then he quickly said what happened, and after Jiang Huaicai heard it, his eyes widened and he looked at the starry night in shock.
At this moment, he could only see the back of the dragon protector.
The crowd dispersed far away, and there was no more danger around, and the starry night turned back.
Jiang Yongde, father and son, were already kneeling on the ground.
"Brother, what do you mean by that?" Starry Night was stunned.
"Thank you for protecting the dragon and saving your lord!" Jiang Yongde knelt on the ground and said: "Jiang Yongde has nothing to repay, only this one life, if the adult wants, he can take it at any time." ”
Starry Night couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the sound, and after he helped the two of them, he said, "Actually, there is really one thing. ”
"My lord, please speak, Jiang Yongde will not give up!" Jiang Yongde knelt down again, but fortunately was stopped by the starry night.
"It's not that serious, let Jiang Huaicai go to the Qingniu Sect to practice, and I will arrange for someone to escort him over." Xingye said: "He is a good seedling, and when he arrives in the Qingniu Sect, he will definitely focus on cultivating." ”
When Jiang Huaicai heard this, he was excited, the Qingniu Sect was originally the place of his dreams.
Jiang Yongde also had no opinion, he was worried about Jiang Huaicai's safety before, but now that the dragon protector has opened his mouth, he is naturally not worried.
And he is not stupid, knowing that Jiang Huaicai has refined the phoenix blood this time, and his future achievements will definitely be higher, in this case, it is obviously better to go to the Qingniu Sect to develop.
"My lord, please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion, there are good pills in the mansion to heal your wounds. After everyone retreated, Xiang Hongfu turned around and clenched his fists at the starry night.
Starry Night shook his head and said, "No need, the injury is not serious." ”
His wounds had healed, only skin wounds.
"Your Excellency, let's go, or the lord will blame me. Xiang Hongfu looked at the starry night, "At the same time, I also hope that the adults can give us a chance to make amends." ”
Starry Night looked at Ye Lu, she nodded and said, "You go, I'll arrange the next things." ”
Ye Lu is also from the Green Bull Sect, and he also has privileges to use in this city.
A carriage soon arrived, Starry Night got into the carriage, and Xiang Hongfu personally drove the carriage and took Starry Night to the City Lord's Mansion.
The others have dispersed, but there is no talk of it.
The corpses on the ground have been disposed of by the soldiers.
In the best restaurant in Zhongxing City, Jiang Tong sat there alone, and next to her, there was a maid.
The diners in the neighborhood kept looking towards this side, and their eyes became hot after seeing that beautiful face.
"Miss, this Xin is too insincere. The maid glanced out the door, a little dissatisfied.
"I should have been delayed by something, and wait. Jiang Tong said, she exhaled like an orchid, captivating, and her smile attracted countless eyes.
Soon, a young man came in a hurry, he walked up to Jiang Tong, clasped his fists and said, "Miss Jiang Tong, I'm really sorry, my young master is entangled in important matters, I'm afraid I can't come to the appointment." ”
"Hey, what do you mean by your son-in-law? But how can he say that he won't come if he invites my young lady?" the maid glared at the young man, very dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry, the young master asked me to tell the young lady that if he has the opportunity to meet again in the future, he will definitely come to the door in person to ask for guilt. ”
After saying that, the young man also left in a hurry.
"Who are these people?" muttered the maid dissatisfiedly.
The other people around were also surprised, that Xin paid a lot of price for this date, and now he actually missed the appointment.
For a while, everyone was very curious about what happened to Xiang Xin, and he even gave up the opportunity to invite a beauty.
Soon new news came that Xiang Xin had offended the dragon protector in the middle of the road, and the pet earth dragon beast was killed, and he himself was punished by the family and had to go to the border for three years.
As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar, you must know that Xiang Xin is the only son of the Xiang family, the future heir of the city lord, and he was sent out like this?
And it's three years.
After returning in three years, maybe Jiang Tong will already be a wife and a mother.
"The second uncle did it on purpose, he just didn't like me, if he didn't go, I wouldn't go anywhere!"
At this moment, Xiang Xin is making a fuss in the family, and his words are full of dissatisfaction with the second uncle.
The city lord of Central City, that is, Xiang Xin's father, sat there and listened silently, and after Xiang Xin finished speaking, he glanced at the other party, "Finished?"
"It's over, Dad, you have to make the decision for me! The second uncle wants to drive me away, he must have gone crazy!"
The city lord nodded and said, "Since you're done, let's get ready to leave." ”
"Where are you going?" Xiang Xin was stunned.
"Defend the town for three years!" the city lord said indifferently: "After three years, if you are still alive, you can come back!"
"Ah......" Xiang Xin was a little dumbfounded, "Dad, are you really here?"
"Otherwise, the dragon protector will be here soon, and you should go. ”
"Dad, I'm your own son!"
"Know, hurry up and leave, don't let the Dragon Protector see you. ”
The city lord stood up, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't leave now, it's five years!"
"I'll go find my mother!"
Seeing that his father didn't seem to be joking, Xiang Xin went to find another backer.
"Wait!" the city lord said suddenly.
"I knew my dad wouldn't be so ruthless. A smile appeared on Xiang Xin's face.
"Never come back without permission for three years, or I'll break your legs! If, after three years, you hear that we're all dead, you don't have to come back, just stay there." ”
"Dad, you're ......."
The smile on Xiang Xin's face froze, and he looked at his father stupidly.
He didn't understand why his father would say such a thing.
Is it because of the dragon protector?
But no matter how powerful a dragon protector is, it is impossible for the Xiang family to bow their heads.
"Remember, get out!"
The city lord shouted angrily, and Xiang Xin hurriedly fled.
"My lord, it's here. ”
The carriage stopped outside the City Lord's Mansion, and Xiang Hongfu's voice sounded.
Starry Night got out of the carriage and looked at this magnificent city lord's mansion.
"The Xiang family is really magnificent!" Xingye sighed.
Xiang Hongfu immediately said: "My lord said that he was joking, this is the city lord's mansion, and my brother is just working here, and this is not my Xiang's place." ”
Xiang Hongfu obviously didn't dare to admit it, otherwise something would have happened.
The Dragon Protector has won the trust of His Majesty, and once he says something in front of His Majesty, even they are not easy to explain.
"Are there any other big families in this Star City?" Starry Night asked again.
Xiang Hongfu was stunned at first, he didn't expect the dragon protector to ask this question, and after thinking about it slightly, he shook his head, "There are some families, but the Xiang family is a monopoly here!"
"It seems that Your Majesty has a lot of trust in you. Starry Night said again.
Xiang Hongfu clenched his fists at the sky and said: "The first ancestor of the Xiang family followed the Xingwu Emperor to fight, and after his success, His Majesty gave him the position of city lord. And the Xiang family has also been loyal to the empire for generations, and has never had two hearts!"
Starry Night's questions are very tricky, and there are even elements of deliberate provocation, Xiang Hongfu's expression has not changed much, and he responded calmly.
"I don't know if the dragon protector is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome!"
At this moment, a voice came from the front, and the person who came looked a little similar to Xiang Hongfu, obviously the city lord of the city.
"Xiang Honglong has seen adults!"
Xiang Honglong approached and immediately saluted the starry night.
"The city lord doesn't need to be polite, Starry Night was just passing by here, but he didn't expect to meet Ling Gongzi, and happened to see the power of the Xiang family in Zhongxing City. Starry Night responded with a fist clenched, his words sharp.
Xiang Honglong said ashamedly: "Let the dragon protector smile, we are too doting on Xiang Xin on weekdays, this time we are transferred to the battlefield to hone for three years, if the dragon protector feels that three years is too little, you can add another two years, or more." ”
The city lord's attitude was excellent, which surprised Xingye, and he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, Lord Xiang Hongfu has already acted impartially, and three years is actually a severe punishment." ”
"Your Excellency, please come with me, and I have important matters to discuss with you. ”
The city lord took Starry Night to the reception hall, and when he came here, all the subordinates had already been dismissed, and Xiang Honglong personally made tea for Starry Night.
And the deputy commander Xiang Hongfu did not come in, he stayed outside.
Looking at the solemn expression of the city lord, it was obvious that there was a lot of matter to be discussed, which surprised Xingye.
I'm just a newcomer, what important things can the other party say to him?
"Do you know, my lord, why is this called Zhongxing City?"
Holding the teacup in both hands and putting it in front of the starry night, Xiang Honglong asked.
Starry Night moved the teacup lightly and said, "This is the central region of the empire. ”
"That's right, do you know how many armies the empire has?"
Xingye didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, and said a little casually: "A lot." ”
"In addition to the strength of the imperial capital, to be precise, there are only five of the strongest armies in the empire at the moment!"
The city lord said in a deep voice: "Except for the Quartet army guarding the border fortress, the only remaining elite soldiers are in Zhongxing City. ”
Hearing the sound of the starry night, his face changed slightly, this is still a place with heavy soldiers?
The self-respecting city lord who supports the army, is this warning to himself?
