Chapter 3 Friend or Foe

At night, the evening breeze is gentle. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

There was silence in the Terran camp, the last of the sparks struggling in the burning fire, and the smell of burnt game in the air. Except for the sentries standing guard, everyone slept soundly in the tent, and occasionally heard snoring and muttering from the tent.

In the depths of the camp, there is a tent made of fine fabric. The tent was large and ornate, and was guarded by numerous Terran soldiers around the tent. The tent was brightly lit and fully furnished, and the famous Qingyun City Lord Qingfeng and her wife Mu Ning lived inside. At this time, the two had just finished their passion, lying on the soft and comfortable bed.

"Wind, is there really nothing wrong with that? I'm still a little worried. Mu Ning snuggled up to Qingfeng and asked softly. This woman from the capital of herding has an elegant aristocratic temperament with a smile on her face.

"What is there to worry about? My wife, are you worried that I can't do that? haha. Qingfeng gently looked at his wife, who had been with him for many years, and quipped.

"I don't mean that. You know, it's Ah Yu and that girl from the Phantom Clan. Madame wrinkled her nose and said. The lady of the city lord, who is above 10,000 people under one person outside, only shows a little bit of a little woman in front of the man she loves deeply.

"Oh? Isn't it normal for men to love women? And Yu'er is also approaching adulthood, and it's time to talk about marriage, and the daughters of the aristocratic families in this city are all 'looking forward to it'. I heard that the girl is still the daughter of a Phantom nobleman, and she is also a good match with our Ah Yu. Even if her family is not as noble as us, we will not dislike her, as long as Yu'er likes it. Qingfeng got up and got out of bed, stepping naked on the soft carpet, his tone was slightly frivolous, and he didn't seem to care about Mu Ning's worries at all.

"It's just that the noble girl has purple hair and blue eyes, like a child of the Tulin family," Mu Ning looked at her husband's sturdy back worriedly, "The Tulin family has strict rules, and in order to ensure the purity of the bloodline, marriage with foreign clans is not allowed. Besides, that girl secretly ran over with Ah Yu, I'm afraid ......"

"What are you afraid of?" Before Mu Ning could finish speaking, Qingfeng interrupted her concerns, and he rarely interrupted her words. Pick up the parchment map next to it, and use your hand to caress the treacherous city far away from them on the map.

"Ah Yu is an authentic Qinglong bloodline, are you still afraid that you are not worthy of their Tulin family? Madam, don't worry, Ah Yu is not small, let him make his own decisions in this matter. Qingfeng clutched the map of the Dragon Atlas World tightly in his hand and said strongly.

Mu Ning got up, gently hugged Qingfeng from behind, and stroked the long scar on his chest, which was a wound that had just formed a scar. Every time she saw this scar, the image of that day pricked her nerves. She still vividly remembers that the leader of the "Dark Alliance", Modu Nadas (note 1), used the dark blade to slash her husband from the "hot sun", and although he was wearing dragon scale armor, the black aura still left a long wound on his chest. Although the wound has healed now, the scar still crawls on the chest like a big centipede, and there will be bursts of pain when you caress it.

Qingfeng could really feel Mu Ning's worry. Now that the races of the Longtu world have finally reached a consensus that they will no longer invade each other in civil war and no longer kill each other, she is worried that this matter will really lead to a bloody war. However, the bitter fruits of war are a nightmare for ordinary people.

Qingfeng turned around, looked at her affectionately, and said, "Mu Ning, do you believe me?"

Mu Ning didn't speak, her gentle eyes could intoxicate any man, but she would only be so affectionate to the man in front of her in her life.

"I still remember when I was with you, the people who opposed me were like fierce beasts blocking your path. I made you believe me, and as a result, we tore apart all their obstacles!" Qingfeng stroked Mu Ning's long hair, "Now that it is our child, I will use my life to promise that I will not let you be hurt in the slightest, never." ”

Mu Ning's hand holding him tighter.

"But I don't want you to take that risk. What's more, although the post-war situation has stabilized on the surface, even I, a woman, can see that in fact, all ethnic groups are fighting secretly. ”

Mu Ning paused and continued: "It's not that I don't know that the giants, dwarves, and hunters have returned to Qingyun City with us, ostensibly because of the victory tradition of the human race to come to our main city to celebrate the competition, but in fact, they covet the great wealth of our northern source and want a piece of the pie. ”

"Sure enough, nothing can escape Madame's eyes," Qingfeng said with a wry smile, "These barbarians from the Western Fields are indeed eyeing our Beiyuan, and they are indeed difficult to deal with. The University of Hakudol has also mentioned this to me, but don't worry, we will be fully prepared, and we will need the help of Makino Castle Lord if necessary. ”

Hearing the name from her husband's mouth, Mu Ning's body trembled obviously. In fact, she should behave that way. When she was still the daughter of a scholar in the capital of pasture, she was assigned by the lord of the city of Muzhi to the young lord of the city at that time, Makino. She can't resist, she can only accept. When everyone blessed the marriage of this golden boy and girl, Qingfeng appeared, riding the red dragon, handsome and chic, as long as it was a woman, she would fall in love with such a man, and Mu Ning was no exception. Then they fall in love with each other. After falling in love, Mu Ning resolutely disobeyed her father's order and followed Qingfeng back to Qingyun City. That was the first time Mu Ning had opposed her father's decision, and it was also the last, because the doors of Mu no Capital had never been open to her since then. Makino and his father have become the laughing stock of the human race, but they have nothing to do about the powerful Qingyun City, so they can only bury this humiliation in their hearts, but everyone knows that each other's beams are settled.

Although the strength of Qingyun City is still the largest among the human races, after so many years of development, the capital of Muzhi is no longer the small city that could be arbitrarily "robbed" by others.

"Makino......" Mu Ning muttered, as if she saw the man who had once been full of love for her, and when she said that she was going to go with Qingfeng, he looked ashamed.

"I know you're worried that he's still thinking about what happened back then. But he is also the lord of a city now, and it will not benefit them to let the tribesmen act so recklessly, and I believe that he will focus on the overall situation. Qingfeng comforted Mu Ning, but he was not completely sure in his heart, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, who knows what Mu Ye's heart thinks.

As soon as the sky was bright, everyone had already packed their bags and continued to hurry along the Beiyuan Road. When the road gradually widens and the road surface is no longer uneven, everyone knows that it is almost home.

When they arrived at Qingyun City, although it was already dark, the people of Qingyun City, who had received the news in advance, were still guarding the city gate, waiting for their warriors.

The Terran warriors looked at their familiar relatives, and everyone was overjoyed, and some even cried excitedly. They really came back, and they came back with victory, with glory.

After a brief greeting, everyone entered the city one after another.

"The city lord has decreed that the warriors of the giants, dwarves, and hunters will temporarily live in the west city, and the warriors of the herd capital will temporarily live in the east city, and tomorrow the cloud palace will hold a celebration meeting. The announcer hurried to the front of the team and read out the city lord's order aloud.

The huge Qingyun City is composed of three urban districts, the West City, the Cloud Palace, and the East City. The Cloud Palace was where the lords and prominent nobles lived, and the west and east cities were where the commoners and the army lived. But the people of Qingyun City all know that the West City and the East City are simply two worlds. Xicheng is a slum to the point of view, full of thieves, murderers, and even prostitutes will not patronize it because there is no money to be made. Dongcheng is where the rich live, and the lights are so lively. I wonder if the tribal people who have never lived in the city will feel the difference in treatment.

After listening to the informant's orders, the team slowly dispersed.

"Damn, this place isn't as good as our Nishino. Do you think we should live with these minus if we live outside the city?" scolded, the leader of the dwarves, O'Hari, as he viciously kicked away the beggar who was slowly crawling towards him.

"I think your temper suits you here, murderer. Hanterson, the hunter beside him, said unceremoniously.

Hearing Hanterson sarcastically mock himself, he was already in a bad mood, and the anger in his heart was even more ignited. Quickly drew two sharp hatches from behind his back and glared at Hanteson.

"Wow, I'm going to show you and your little pet what it means to be a 'murderer' today. ”

Not to be outdone, Hanterson was not to be outdone, and the wolf bear next to him bared its sharp fangs and was ready to attack at any time.

"Enough, do you still want to move from the desolate West Field to the North Plain?" a loud roar suddenly broke the tense atmosphere.

Tek, the rock giant, was still expressionless, and continued: "If you want to, just finish the night calmly, and if you don't want to, you can continue." ”

After a moment of stalemate, O'Hari's clenched axe finally slowly retracted from his waist. The three of them returned to their respective residences with their own hearts in mind.

Compared with the West City, the alleys of the East City are also full of "beggars", and they are also scantily clad beggars. The plump body, with open breasts and exposed breasts, constantly charms people passing by. The people who come here are generally rich people looking for fun, and everyone comes drunk and goes drunk. However, at this time, the two people shuttling in the alley seemed out of place with them.

Two people, a man and a woman. The man's face was handsome, richly dressed, and his deep eyes revealed disdain for the prostitutes and clients around him. But on the contrary, his "good goods" are the favorite of these dusty women, but after seeing the women behind him, they know that there is no play. The woman who followed him was shy, tall, with purple hair and blue eyes. Both the figure and the appearance are beyond the reach of those prostitutes. The man refused to meet the dusty woman, and at the same time used the sword in his hand to protect the woman behind him from being harassed by the drunks around him.

"Oh, why are they dressed like this?" the woman had never seen such a scene, her fair skin pink from shyness.

"My Miss Wen Lan, aren't there people among you Phantom Clan who live on skin and flesh?" It turned out that this woman was the Phantom Clan girl Wen Lan Tulin mentioned by Mu Ning, and the man was the young city lord of this city, Qingyu.

"I don't know much about this, anyway, if we wear so little, we will definitely freeze to death in the city of clouds. Wen Lan carefully avoided the ill-intentioned drunks around her.

Qingyu gently took Wen Lan's hand and said, "You said you wanted to come here to take a look, you also saw the 'scenery', do you want to continue shopping?"

"No, no, let's go back. Wen Lan took the next step, she actually wanted to go back for a long time.

Qingyu smiled, "It's okay, go back and take a good shower, wash off all the dust along the way, I haven't seen your 'view' for a long time." ”

After listening to Qingyu's words, Wen Lan paused for a few seconds before he understood what he meant. His already pink face was now as red as an apple, and he pretended to be angry and ran in the direction he came.

The Phantom Clan woman really couldn't help teasing, she was even more shy than the girl in the Pastoral Capital, Qingyu shook her head with a smile and chased after her. However, compared to those who throw themselves into their arms, Qingyu still prefers this style.

The street was full of people, and not long after the two left, a line of people in black cloaks suddenly appeared in this spring-colored alley. The prostitutes on the street have never seen such a big show, and it is surprising that there are groups of people who are having fun, but as long as there is business to do, it doesn't matter how many people there are.

But they didn't know that the purpose of this group of people was not to lie on their bellies, but to Wen Lan, who had just left.

Kerry's head buried in his cloak poked out slightly, and his purple hair would have been spotted as a foreigner at a glance, so he looked around cautiously.

"Are you sure it's here?" he looked around at the prostitutes and clients around him in disgust.

The captain of the guard, who followed closely, hurriedly took out a small map from his pocket. It seemed like the map was the same as the others, but if you looked closely, you could see that there was a continuous trail of blood on it, and the end of the trail was where they were now.

"My lord, according to the bloodstains on the blood map (note 2), the young lady has indeed been here. But now if you want to confirm if you're still here, you need to... Your blood is needed because ...... The blood has dried up. The black cloak could not hide the frightened face of the captain of the guard, he knew what kind of place this was, and it would be a shame for the young lady to come here anyway.

"It's really sad, you Cree City Lord didn't shed a drop of blood in the Battle of Zhongzhou, but shed so many drops on this broken map. The man behind him leaned in, and his silver hair was dazzling.

The corners of Kerry's mouth twitched, but it was back to normal in no time.

"Lord Viyu, we're in someone else's territory now, please don't be too ostentatious. Didn't you suggest we wear cloaks in the first place?" Kerry meant to ask him to buckle up his cloak.

"Really, is that too ostentatious?" said Viyu sneering as she stepped out of the crowd and walked straight to the nearest prostitute.

The prostitute, who was bored with a manicuring manicure, suddenly noticed that Viyu was walking towards her, and her face was immediately full of smiles, and she was constantly thinking about what to call this person.

"This boss ...... Sir...... My lord," said the prostitute incoherently, not knowing what to call Viyu. She had seen beggars, merchants, soldiers, nobles, but she had never seen such a costume. Because it's not common to wear so many in Qingyun City, where the seasons are like spring.

Without waiting for her to finish, Viyu rushed to her and grabbed her neck with his hand, and dragged her to himself.

"Have you ever seen a girl with purple hair and blue eyes, eh? Viyu looked directly at the poor prostitute, and the prostitute looked into his blue eyes, and felt as if she had fallen into a deep blue sea, and involuntarily recalled Viyu's words in her mind.

"I've seen ......," the prostitute said.

"Where is she now?" asked Vieu.

"She and a man walked in the direction of the Cloud Palace, and the man was very handsome......" The prostitute told Viyu of her memories word for word.

Viyu let go of the delirious prostitute and smiled, "Well, it's good, go back and forget about what happened today." ”

Watching the prostitute staggering away, Viyu straightened her cloak and returned to Kerry with a smile on her face, saying, "Kerry, your daughter is now visiting the Cloud Palace." ”

"Heh, I didn't expect the dignified Yuwei family master to use such a bad illusion. Kerry said unappreciatively. This little illusion of Viyu can only be used on people who are not strong-willed, such as the prostitute just now.

"Haha, those who become big things are not informal, and no matter how indiscriminate the illusion is, it will come in handy. Didn't I use it just now, Master Kerry, in order for you to stop bleeding, I even touched the filthy prostitute. Viyu smiled nonchalantly.

The captain of the guard saw that Viyu was talking fast again, and the displeasure was written on his face. But he couldn't commit any offense, after all, it was not a level, so he could only bow forward and say: "Family Master, since Miss Wen Lan is in the Cloud Palace, please allow me to go and rescue Miss, Wei Ge will not hesitate to go to the soup." ”

Kerry looked at the towering Cloud Palace building in the distance and said, "The Cloud Palace is where the successive city lords and prominent nobles of Qingyun City lived, and it will definitely not allow so many of us to enter and exit easily. It wasn't too early, so it was definitely not a wise move to rush there, and since Lan'er was in the Cloud Palace now, she would definitely be safe. ”

Wigg got up slightly, he also knew that this was not the time to be reckless. He wished that he could become a scholar in the city at this time and give advice to the city lord. It's a pity that if he had a little brain, there would be no story of "Thousands of Miles Looking for a Girl".

"What the head of the Cree family said is extremely true, now that Qingyun City is so lively, even the giants, dwarves and other tribes and human races have gathered here, and it is very likely that tomorrow there will be a celebration of the heroes of the martial arts competition in the Cloud Palace," Wei Yu said, "Tsk, this Terran hero conference should not have been held for a long time." ”

Kerry looked at all kinds of people around him, as if he had a plan, and said to the group: "Let's hurry up and get here, everyone is tired, go back to the tavern to rest for the time being, and we will visit the Cloud Palace tomorrow." ”

Except for Viyu and his entourage, the rest of the group bowed slightly.

"Sleep well, everyone, and tomorrow we will give the Terran heroes a great gift. Viyu said with a wicked smile.

After listening to Viyu's ulterior words, Kerry looked at him with complicated eyes. Tomorrow will not only have to deal with those Terrans, but also beware of this old fox, who is not a friend but an enemy who hides a knife in his smile.

Sometimes people who seem to be friends are your enemies, and people who seem enemies may be your friends.

The foe-foe show has just begun.
