Chapter 183: Arrival
readx;?“ Rustle......"
As the sound became louder and louder, Li Shaobai's attention gradually shifted to the denser branches above his head, and the long sword was already unsheathed in his hand, carefully guarding against unknown dangers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Hey, big brother, you're awake!"
Yang Fan's surprised voice came from the darkness that was covered by the branches, Li Shaobai also breathed a sigh of relief, put down his sword, and said angrily:
"Where have you been? I just woke up a while ago, and I was shocked to see that you were gone!"
Hearing Li Shaobai mention this, Yang Fan, who had just jumped down from the tree, didn't have a good face.
"Don't mention it! I woke up a little earlier than you, and I don't know when you'll wake up, and I'm hungry anyway, so I thought I'd just go find something to eat first, who knew that I finally saw a long-haired pig, and then I thought about the terrible pig king, which can only kill it!"
When he heard him say that he had found a long-haired pig, Li Shaobai's eyes suddenly glowed, and he looked behind him, wanting to see how heavy this long-haired pig was, but when he heard Yang Fan's second half of the sentence, the original excitement also faded, and he nodded approvingly.
"You're right, it's a good thing you didn't kill it. I'm awake now anyway, so let's go find something to eat! I'm really hungry after running for so long. ”
Yang Fan had no objection, and the two finally found an unlucky wolf when it was close to midnight, and without hesitation, they went up and killed him on the spot with a sword.
Wolf meat is already a bit dry and rough, even if it is a first-order wild wolf, the taste is not as good as that of domestic pigs, not to mention compared with the king of pork - long-haired pigs.
It can be regarded as revenge for your people chasing our brothers before!
Li Shaobai and Yang Fan viciously tore the large piece of wolf meat in their hands, comforting themselves with the trauma in their hearts.
With the faint moonlight, the two of them simply cleaned up the messy scene after eating, and continued to rush towards Luoxia City.
......
"Big brother, let's go to the bottom of the gatehouse and deal with it for the night first?"
Yang Fan stood in the shadows under a dense forest, looking at the majestic city wall in the distance, and the few patrols that occasionally passed by at the head of the city, and asked faintly towards a dark shadow beside him.
Although after reaching the realm of grinding the body, only four hours of sleep every night is enough to dissipate the physical fatigue, but I can't bear to be under the root of the city gate, and the next day I was seen by the city guard who opened the door, isn't it very shameless?
With such a mood, even if there is no anger, it is not very happy.
Li Shaobai took a few steps from behind the tree, stood beside Yang Fan, and breathed a sigh of relief gently, with a relaxed look that was completely different from Yang Fan.
"It's finally here, let's go, get some good sleep!"
Yang Fan didn't talk.
When you arrive, you can only sleep under the door of the building, what is there to be happy about?
Thinking of the filth of that location being trampled on by countless people, and the fact that the soldiers guarding the door would find two alchemists sleeping under the door of the building early the next morning...... Even because he didn't meet any demon beasts along the way after eating wolf meat, he couldn't offset this kind of unhappiness.
After a while, Li Shaobai seemed to understand the reason why Yang Fan was so dull, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder with some amusement, and rushed to the city gate from the shadows of the inconspicuous woods like a whirlwind.
"Come with me. ”
The voice that was torn by the wind to a little blurry was finally heard clearly by Yang Fan, and immediately after him, he showed one of his peerless skills, Xuan's identity.
Only by releasing the speed to the extreme can Yang Fan get out of the previous bad mood and wantonly experience the passion of the howling wind and the cold wind like a knife on the exposed skin.
Of course, in terms of the ** strength of Yang Fan's grinding body realm in the later stage, just this ordinary cold wind will naturally not cause him any harm.
In the second half of the journey, Li Shaobai followed Yang Fan all the way to the gatehouse, obviously he really wanted to sleep in this kind of place for a night.
Li Shaobai hurriedly pulled him against the wall to a place not far from the corner of the city gate, looked up, lowered his head and closed his eyes in contemplation.
Yang Fan's curiosity was completely aroused by his actions.
Because after such a long time, it was strange that not a single soldier shouted to the two from the wall.
It stands to reason that even if both of them are body refiners, if they get close to the city wall in the middle of the night, they will also be routinely interrogated by the guards on duty. But at this time, don't talk about interrogation, I didn't even hear a little movement.
It was at this time that Li Shaobai raised his head, with a weird smile of excitement on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice:
"Quick, jump on with me!"
Yang Fan suddenly saw him raise his head suddenly, his face was full of a strange expression with a bit of bad intentions, and then he saw the eldest brother squatting slightly, and the next moment, he had already appeared in mid-air on the top of the city wall.
Only Yang Fan, who had a slightly open mouth and did not come back to his senses for a long time, was left in place.
In the end, Li Shaobai, who had already jumped up, poked his head out and urged him again, and the two converged on the city wall.
The empty and wide city wall was enough to allow three carriages to go side by side, and Yang Fan accompanied the cold light of the sky, taking in the scene on the city head at a glance.
Not far away, two crane-like turntables were wrapped around a wrist-like rope, which exuded a strange golden glow in the not very bright moonlight, like fireflies in summer, shining brightly and faintly.
Li Shaobai took two steps, saw that he was still standing in place, couldn't help but drag him, and quietly walked towards the battlements in the direction of the city.
After the two of them clinged to the blue-gray city wall again, Yang Fan finally understood why the eldest brother didn't have the slightest unhappy look before.
He didn't plan to enter the city seriously from under the city gate at all!
Listening to the neat footsteps of a five-person patrol team above his head, from far to near, and then from near to far, Yang Fan couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to Li Shaobai.
It seems that the interval between each patrol has also been calculated by the eldest brother when he was outside the city, otherwise, where could there be such a coincidence, the two of them had just jumped from the city into the city, and a patrol happened to pass by.
However, there is no need to sleep under the door of the building after all.
Yang Fan followed Li Shaobai into the streets and alleys in front of him, carefully hiding his figure through the shadows under each eaves, and kept rushing forward.
The city gates are closed every day after dark, and all entry and exit are forbidden, even if it is not wartime, the patrols on the wall will be dutifully responsible for guarding the city gates at night, and all personnel and organizations who want to approach the city walls are obliged to explain their intentions and reasons to the city gate guards in a timely manner, if there is no such thing as a city lord's edict or a military token, and they have not retreated after the guards' warning, then the city guards have the right to take the initiative to attack.
And if the alchemist who climbs over the wall relies on his superior strength and is discovered by the patrol team and forcibly breaks through, then no matter what reason you have, it will be punished as a crime, and the next day the whole city will be plastered with wanted notices.
What about the Gymnastizer? Could it be that there is no one in the military department?
Even if a body refiner in the Bone Forging Realm violates the law, the military department will definitely send enough strength to capture the prisoner alive to arrest him.
If Yang Fan and the others were caught climbing over the city wall at night, then even if they had the identity of a body refiner, they would go through strict interrogation and interrogation, and after confirming that there was no other purpose to harm the interests of others, they would be able to enter the city normally.
Besides, even if the body refiner who was caught really didn't have any unusual thoughts, it was not a happy thing to be caught in front of a large group of soldiers.
Of course, the two of them came to the City Lord's Mansion this time, even if they were detained by the military department because of such a trivial matter, they could be bailed out by Shen Tuxuan's old boy early the next morning.
What's more, there is a big or small gap between the official real power faction in every city and the military department, if it is really taken away by the military department, it is not bad to disgust Shen Tuxuan's stinky and shameless person.
However, although the guards above the city gate conscientiously and strictly abide by the patrol time interval, the patrol team in charge on this city wall is only two or three in number, if this can be discovered, it must be replaced by Shen Tuxuan's old boy to laugh at his brothers.
Now that I've entered the city safely, I can't take care of sleeping, and it's not too late to go to bed after finishing my business first. As the lord of Shentu Xuanyi City, it will definitely not be difficult for Yang Fan and Li Shaobai on the surface.
"Big brother, shall we still go to the 'Wanxia Inn' where we went last time for a night?"
Yang Fan saw that Li Shaobai took him to turn left and right as if he was running towards the city, and originally thought that he was going to the inn last time to rest for one night, but as time passed, he found that the route he was traveling at the moment was not going to the "Wanxia Inn".
Li Shaobai happened to pass by a big flagpole erected, pointed to the cloth fluttering on it, but did not answer his question: "Na, this is the 'Imperial Money Village' all over the Great Xuan Empire, Xiaofan, you haven't come to see it yet, have you?"
Yang Fan subconsciously looked up, only to see a heavy flag being hung high on a thick wooden pole more than three meters high, I don't know what the cloth is made of, just gently fluttering and swaying in the cold wind;
But Yang Fan was not distracted by this banner.
"Big brother, where are we going?"
Li Shaobai tilted his head slightly and smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry, you'll know later." ”
"Bang Bang!"
A moment later, the brothers stood in front of the gate of a huge courtyard, and Li Shaobai grabbed the gilt knocker on the gate and slapped it vigorously a few times.
Behind the two of them, there is a three-story staircase, the bluestone giant lion distributed on the side is stepping on the lion cub and the hydrangea, majestic, the dark brown thick door is inlaid with two golden tiger heads, and two bright gold door knockers with the thickness of a child's wrist hang between their mouths and teeth, dignified and magnificent.
And directly above the gate, under the wide eaves, on the plaque that is obviously carved from the precious "purple dragon wood", there are three vigorous and powerful characters in the dragon and phoenix dance, even in this dark night, it looks quite a bit of momentum.
"Castle Lord's Mansion"!
