Chapter 135: The Entrance Storm
The sound of the carts, the neighing of the horses, and more than a dozen jars of fine wine were piled up in two carriages. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Princess Ling Yao's carriage was in the middle of the line, three thousand armor soldiers followed at the end, and the members of the Martial God Academy were on both sides of the line, heading from the Xuanshui River to the entrance.
Elder Xuanfeng hung the wine jug, drank bitterly along the way, the wine did not leave his mouth, Elder Niu Li was possessed with a heavy sword, and his eyes scanned the front to ensure that no bandit would be killed halfway.
The road was bumpy and the car was quite difficult, but Princess Ling Yao hoped that the bumpy and difficult journey would be long and endless, and it was best never to reach the Chu country, nor to turn back to the Yue country.
As soon as the itinerary ended, when the deadline for the Chu State was approaching, and the white-haired old monarch got married, Ling Yao and everyone who accompanied him were not sad, but they all endured it in their hearts, and they didn't reveal it at all, but they were careful to ensure that the itinerary was foolproof and there would be no moths.
Jiang Ling followed Princess Ling Yao's window, not daring to stay away for half a step, he promised King Yue, promised Ling Yao, no matter what happened on the road, he would not leave Ling Yao alone.
We must do our best to do what we promise, which is the minimum standard of life.
The Three Kings of the Southern Spirit Domain value not only Jiang Ling's extraordinary talent, but also Jiang Ling's heart and decisiveness in handling things.
Therefore, the three kings would take a big risk and entrust the safety of Princess Ling Yao to a mere sixteen-year-old boy, make Jiang Ling the general of the Southern Spirit Domain, and let Jiang Ling be Ling Yao's personal guard.
The personal guard meant that no matter what Ling Yao did, Jiang Ling would follow and ensure Ling Yao's safety at all times.
The night of the Evil Dragon Mountain Range is still quiet and terrible, the wind is thin and cold, blowing the muscles on the face tense and tight, and it can't be stretched, and there are often fierce beasts in the depths of the mountain range, looking up to the sky and roaring endlessly.
From a long distance, you can realize how ferocious the fierce beasts hidden in the forest are, but these fierce beasts will not easily run out of the Evil Dragon Mountain Range, and the demon beasts have been restricted by the dragon group enchantment for generations, and they are not allowed to leave the wilderness, and gradually the fierce beasts have also learned to be self-sufficient and happy, hiding in the depths of the forest and cultivating silently.
When night falls, the majestic entrance lies between the two peaks and gorges, lighting a beacon bonfire, with a sentry guard, it is definitely an easy to defend and difficult to attack pass.
As night approached, the procession finally reached the entrance.
The scholar and the butcher had already greeted the guard of the entrance in advance, and had already arranged a rest place for the team, and the two of them and the guard stood at the foot of the entrance, greeting the arrival of the team with a smile on their faces.
The scholar carried the brush and sword, completed the task, and said with a smile: "Two elders, the resting place has been properly settled, and the team can rest in the entrance tonight." ”
The butcher also squeezed his fat face, pointed to a fully armored general next to him, and said with a smile: "This is Di Rong, the guard of the entrance." ”
Elder Niu Li nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, General Di has worked hard. ”
Di Rong shook the halberd in his hand, bent down respectfully and said, "Please rest assured, I have made careful arrangements to ensure that the barbarian bandits will not disturb everyone's good dreams." ”
The procession slowly entered the entrance, and Di Rong's eyes were firmly fixed on the princess's carriage and horses, and he smiled slightly, revealing a smile that no one would easily find.
At this moment, Di Rong's eyes were stunned, and he looked at the young man with three blood stripes on his back beside Princess Ling Yao's carriage and horse.
Di Rong panicked and was surprised: "This young man has a mediocre breath, but his expression is different from ordinary people, he never leaves Princess Ling Yao, could it be the princess's personal guard?"
Di Rong smiled, stopped Jiang Ling, and asked kindly: "Qi Yu Xuanang, different people, let me ask the name of the young man?"
Jiang Ling raised his head, looked at Di Rong a few times, and secretly admired: "Sure enough, he is a general who has dealt with barbarian bandits all the year round, and the aura revealed is also a little domineering." ”
"Lin Jiang!" Jiang Ling said lightly.
Di Rong's body trembled, stared at Jiang Ling for a long time without taking his eyes away, and said approvingly: "It turns out that the young man is a genius boy who shook the Flame Tower of the Martial God Academy, won the championship of the competition, and was named the general of the Southern Spirit Domain by the three kings. ”
Jiang Ling didn't know what to say, so he nodded slightly. He didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and it actually reached the border entrance of Vietnam in less than a few days.
The guards at the entrance all set their eyes on Jiang Ling, all wanting to see what this genius who was famous in the Southern Spirit Domain looked like.
Hearing that someone was blocking the way outside the curtain, Princess Ling Yao opened the curtain curiously and asked dignified and elegant, "Who stopped the carriage?"
Di Rong glanced up at the car window, and saw a beautiful face with a sparkling gaze on him. He didn't dare to continue looking, and lowered his head: "Di Rong, the gatekeeper, will meet Princess Ling Yao." ”
Ling Yao was neither happy nor angry, and said lightly: "There is General Lao Di." ”
"Princess, please. ”
Di Rong got out of the way and led the team into the entrance.
Jiang Ling's eyes showed a hint of suspicion, and he pondered carefully: "The eyes of the guards at the entrance who looked at the princess did not have a trace of blasphemy, but showed a look of expectation, as if they had known Princess Ling Yao for a long time. ”
Tietou and Sword Idiot were responsible for carrying 3,000 armor, and they handed over the 3,000 armor to Di Rong, the guard of the entrance, and after completing the task, they went to their respective spiritual cultivation.
The sword idiot didn't dare to slack off, he was ecstatic when he got Bai Ze's sword, and he couldn't wait to find a quiet place to practice for a while. He also knew in his heart that if it weren't for Jiang Ling's help, he would not have been able to enter the finals, let alone be named the general of Zhennan by King Yue.
It's just that this general still has no real power, and the king of Yue promised that as long as the sword idiot can win the competition of the Xingqi Academy, he will be able to guard the entrance when he returns to the Yue Kingdom.
The sword idiot also knew that he had the lowest strength in the team, and he had only reached the seventh level of the human spirit realm, and if he didn't hurry up to improve his strength, he was worried that he would drag the team back.
Therefore, the sword idiot is more serious and assiduous than anyone else, and whenever he has time, he quietly cultivates his soul and understands swordsmanship.
Jiang Ling didn't dare to slack off, he had been practicing in the wilderness for more than half a year, and he knew the danger of the wilderness, the forces were mixed, there was no law, and it was common to kill people and sell goods. Moreover, there are furious monsters from time to time in the wilderness, so you can't watch out for it.
In the dead of night, the full moon is poignant.
Jiang Ling jumped up, jumped on the roof of Princess Ling Yao, and quietly lay on the tiles looking at the familiar Evil Dragon Mountain Range, remembering something.
"Brother Blood Wolf, you misunderstood me, I didn't stand on the side of the old Taoist. ”
Jiang Ling thought of the disappointed eyes of the blood wolf, and felt helpless in his heart. It was a misunderstanding at the beginning, in the face of the siege of the Five Great Dao Sects, the old Taoist priest of the Blood Pool Cave stood up to help him, and he saved the old Taoist priest in a hurry, but he didn't expect that because of this, the blood wolf misunderstood.
"Ye Han, are you okay? The Great Elder of the Eight Hundred Miles Quicksand Valley has no trouble for you, right! You have to live well, bring the Spirit Pupil to the capital of Chu State, find Chu Tianyu, and help her realize her dream of meeting a rich man. ”
"Lingtong, I broke my promise, I couldn't take you to the capital to meet the rich people in person, I really want to see you early. ”
Adversity sees true love, gold is easy to get, and confidants are hard to find.
For his good brother Ye Han, Jiang Ling was grateful, if Ye Han hadn't been on his side all along, facing the Five Great Dao Sect, Jiang Ling would have been killed a long time ago.
He also felt incredible at the drastic changes in the Eight Hundred Miles Quicksand Valley, sympathizing with Ye Han for falling from the prominent young valley master of the Eight Hundred Miles Quicksand Valley to being hunted down and killed overnight, how much he hoped that Ye Han could find his father Ye Xiaotian and retake charge of the Eight Hundred Miles Quicksand Valley.
Lingtong, the first girl to reveal her true heart since Jiang Ling went down the mountain, he didn't know what he felt in his heart, that is, he hoped that Lingtong could find the rich Chu Tianyu, no longer live a wandering life, and could happily sit in a luxurious carriage, worry-free about food and clothing, and was very nostalgic for the time of adventure with Lingtong in the wilderness.
That time was Jiang Ling's happiest time, forgetting the hatred of his clansmen being killed, just to live well.
In fact, what Jiang Ling wants to see most in his heart at this moment is the gentle cold fragrance given to him by the sarcophagus of the ice room of the burial dragon pit, and the feeling lingering in the ice room, he can never forget it, and he will never forget it.
Jiang Ling looked at the full moon and said to himself softly: "Gu Changfeng's predecessor said that he would return to the Spirit Clan with Han Xiang and use the Spirit Bead to awaken Han Xiang, with the mysterious secret method of the Spirit Clan, Han Xiang should have woken up, Han Xiang, will she still remember me?"
"Where is the ancient clan of the Spirit Clan? In the vast world, the sky and the earth are big, when can we find the cold incense?"
"The unjust souls of the clansmen are still wandering in the Ranshi Village, Hongxue is not dead, I am ashamed of the more than a hundred clansmen and the beloved iron-blooded patriarch, now, the leader of the barbarian bandits who planned the tragedy in the Ranshi Village, Long Ju, has died, Hongxue must not let her live, I want to kill her with my own hands to avenge the clansmen." ”
Just as Jiang Ling was looking at the full moon and recalling the past, there was a sound of broken teacups in Princess Ling Yao's room.
Jiang Ling, who had already formed a sea of spiritual roots, had a spiritual exploration ability far beyond that of ordinary people, and his eardrums agitated, catching the sound of a teacup breaking.
"Is there something going on in the house? Could it be that the princess is in trouble?"
In a panic, Jiang Linggang wanted to jump down and break into Princess Ling Yao's room to see what was going on, but suddenly, Princess Ling Yao's voice came from inside the house.
Jiang Ling retracted his body, lifted a few tiles, and quietly lay on the roof, carefully looking at the situation in the house through the cracks.
With fair skin and a soft thin waist, Princess Ling Yao sat on the bed dignified and elegant, through the curtain, and said softly: "Are you all ready?
Outside the curtain stood a man in black, covering his face, bowing his waist, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, the princess has found the stand-in, he is an orphan, he has no relatives and no reason, and he will never make people suspicious. ”
Princess Ling Yao showed a hint of anticipation and said: "It's good, you do it, I don't worry, as long as you can leave tonight, even if someone finds out that the princess sitting in the carriage is not me, they will be too late, and they will only take the fake as real." ”
The man in black smiled slightly and praised: "The princess is well-planned and foolproof. ”
Princess Ling Yao pointed to the box placed next to the curtain and said, "A box of gold, you take it to make sure that the slightest wind can't leak." ”
The man in black picked up the box and was about to leave.
There was a sudden call outside the door, how could Jiang Ling watch Princess Ling Yao escape, it was a dereliction of duty to lose the princess, he saw that the momentum was not right, jumped off the roof, knocked on the door a few times, and greeted: "Is the princess asleep?"
The man in black and Princess Ling Yao were taken aback suddenly, the man in black hurriedly hid behind the curtain and was silent, Princess Ling Yao calmed down and said calmly: "Lin Jiang, is there anything wrong with you?"
Jiang Ling deliberately pretended not to know anything, and greeted: "I was ordered to serve as the princess's personal guard, so naturally I need to guard the princess every step of the way, and the meaning of not leaving is to sleep with the princess, so that I can better fulfill my duties." ”
(There is also a shift in the evening.) )
