Chapter 11: The Thorn Bush IV

"City Lord, City Lord............" The surrounding soldiers surrounded in horror, but Liu Qing suddenly waved his hand to stop them at this time.

He slowly pulled out the crossbow arrow that had been attached to his skin from his chest, but when he saw that there was no arrow anymore, and there was only one crossbow arrow left, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

The other party showed his hand and told him very clearly. It was easy to take his life, even if it was an arrow without an arrow.

Liu Qing dismounted honestly, and bent down in the direction of Xuanwu Hall in the stunned eyes of everyone: "Liu Qing has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he has offended the master, please forgive me." I don't know if Liu Qing can come in and talk to Mr. in person. ”

There was a laugh in the Xuanwu Hall: "Boy, when do you want Lao Tzu to wait, Lao Tzu's patience is about to run out for you." If you want to come, you can come, how can there be so much nonsense. ”

Several generals rushed behind Liu Qing at the same time, and pleaded: "City Lord, don't go in." The person who came is unknown, with ill intentions, in case there is bad intentions, how can it be good. ”

Liu Qing smiled softly: "If there is bad intentions, there are few living people here now, don't worry, honestly guard at the door, I'll come when I go." ”

In fact, his heart was already as clear as a mirror, and with the hands of the two mysterious people in the Xuanwu Hall, it had already surpassed his cognition of Qi cultivation and cultivation.

Even if he searched the entire Xiaqiu Country, he probably wouldn't be able to find such a master, right? Of the masters of the Illusory God Realm that he knew, I am afraid that none of them could match the two in the Xuanwu Hall. He had already decided in his heart that these two people were probably close to the strength of the Phantom Fairyland.

Illusory Wonderland, for Xiuzhen on the Dragon Soul Continent, is as great as a mountain. Even if the other party really comes to take your own life, so what, you are powerless to resist, it is better to go in and see what the other party wants to do.

Liu Qing whipped into the air, pointed at Duan Fei and said, "The head of Xuanwu Hall, take me to meet those two gentlemen." ”

Duan Fei had long been frightened by the battle just now, and he was glad that his head had not fainted and he had been awake. If you provoke the two plague gods just now, I'm afraid the bones will be ground into slag.

At this moment, I suddenly heard Liu Qing ask him to lead the way, thinking that he didn't give any good looks to those two before, if those two people were held accountable, wouldn't he be the same as a scumbag!

He hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, shaking all over his body into chaff, only begging Liu Qing to let him go.

Liu Qing angrily whipped him twice with a horsewhip, with Liu Qing's strength, but the two whips had already opened the skin of his whip, but Duan Fei seemed to have made up his mind. Even if he was beaten to death by Liu Qing here, he didn't go to see the two plague gods.

Liu Qing's hateful teeth itched, and he secretly scolded this Xuanwu Hall's waste for being a family member, which really insulted the reputation of Xuanwu Hall. But seeing Duan Fei fall to the ground and grit his teeth to bear the leather whip, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, he had no choice.

Suddenly, he saw Duan Cheng's father and son, who were thrown aside and tied up like a dumpling, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth: "Let go of them." ”

Immediately, a soldier stepped forward and pushed away the Xuanwu Hall disciple who was only a promise, and untied the ropes of Duan Cheng's father and son. The people in Xuanwutang didn't even dare to fart at the moment, and they couldn't wait to find a place to hide.

Liu Qing squinted at Duan Cheng's father and son, raised his chin and said, "You two take me there, since you have been abandoned by your family, you don't need to be afraid, right?"

Duan Cheng patted the dirt on his body, glanced at the second brother lying on the ground, and sighed slightly: "City Lord, please, Duan Cheng will guide you the way." ”

Saying that, he walked inward on his own, Liu Qing nodded, looking at Duan Cheng's father and son leading the way unhurriedly, feeling that so far, among the Xuanwu Hall disciples he had seen, only these two were still like that.

The Xuanwu Hall was not large, and the former alchemy sect had been locked down for more than thirty years, and it had not only missed the most glorious era, but also had no power to expand and renovate. Liu Qing walked in the dilapidated courtyard and looked at this extremely sacred alchemy family in his father's mouth with emotion.

Before his father died, he once told Liu Qing everything about Xuanwu Hall. Liu Qing was also able to know the former glory of Xuanwu Hall, but now it seems that in this dilapidated place, there are only cowardly hearts and rats rampant all over the ground, where is there any brilliance of an alchemist.

The moon had risen in the sky, and the silver of water poured down in the peach forest. Duan Cheng led Liu Qing through the peach forest and came to the hermitage. Looking at the hermitage, which was already full of arrows, Duan Cheng couldn't help but sigh again.

The door of the hermitage was open, and an oil lamp illuminated the room. The two of them were sitting in the middle of the simple hermitage drinking tea, quietly waiting for everyone to come.

"Liu Qing, the junior city lord of Wuling City, saw his predecessors, I don't know that there are masters who come to Wuling City, and I hope to forgive me if I can't greet them. Liu Qing did not enter the house directly, but bowed down in front of the thatched house.

Ling Yun sneered: "You have already welcomed it very well, look at this gorgeous costume, it has turned this thatched house into an arrow mound!"

Listening to Ling Yun's cynicism, Liu Qing was not embarrassed, he straightened up and strode into the hermitage. What surprised him was that although thousands of arrows were fired just now, covering the sky and the sun, the exterior of the hermitage had turned into the appearance of a hedgehog.

But the hermitage was still very neat, and not a single crossbow arrow penetrated the thatch and shot into the house.

You must know that the bows and crossbows in the hands of those soldiers have been modified by the craftsmen of his city lord's mansion themselves, and even if they are fifty meters away on the battlefield, they can penetrate the enemy's armor with one arrow, and even shoot people through each other.

But this thatched hut without any protection was like a huge iron lump, blocking all the arrows.

Liu Qing knew that there was nothing magical about this thatched hermitage, but the magic was the two mysterious people sitting in the hermitage calmly drinking tea. There was not the slightest uneasiness in their eyes, and they only looked at themselves as calmly as if they were ordinary passers-by.

Able to speak, Liu Qing, who is known for his courage, didn't know what to say after entering the house. He was the one who used to be calm, but now he was occupied by nervousness and anxiety. Because the two people he faced were not on the same level as him at all, how could a person like a mountain not let him look up.

Ling Yun gently put down the teacup in his hand and asked coldly: "Boy, the reason why I haven't killed you until now is because I want to know why your City Lord's Mansion is so domineering, trying your best to suppress Xuanwu Hall, and trying to kill us by any means." ”

"Give me a good reason so I can let you go. Otherwise, I will destroy your city lord's mansion today. Liu Qing's words came coldly into Liu Qing's ears, Liu Qing believed that everything the other party said was true, as long as he wanted to, he could destroy the City Lord's Mansion at any time.

Duan Xing was as shocked as Liu Qing at this time, he looked at Long Yunzhou and Ling Yun in disbelief, he didn't expect that the two people he met on the road turned out to be ruthless characters who could make the city lord afraid.

Only Duan Cheng's expression remained the same, and he stood calmly by the window, looking up at the moonlight, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Cold sweat trickled down Liu Qing's forehead, he had thought of thousands of plans to deal with his opponent, but he didn't expect that the other party wanted such an answer.

Liu Qing turned his head a little embarrassed, looked at Duan Cheng, and then turned his head to look at Ling Yun. The meaning is obvious, but there are people from the Xuanwu Hall, and it is inconvenient for him to say.

Ling Yun is also an experienced person, and he can see his thoughts at a glance. He said unhappily: "What's the matter? I sealed the door of someone's house, don't you dare to say it now? Since you have done it, just say it, don't let Lao Tzu look down on you." ”

Liu Qing's face was embarrassed, as if he had been thinking for a long time before he said slowly: "Mr. asked me to say, I will be straightforward." It's just that before that, I want to ask, sir, are you from the national capital, and what is your relationship with the Sima family or the Ling family?"

Ling Yun was so angry that he asked Liu Qing a question, but Liu Qing asked him back.

Ling Yun shook his head with a smile: "It seems that if Lao Tzu doesn't say it, you won't tell me calmly." Okay, Lao Tzu will tell you, I don't know what dead horses you are talking about, and you are not from the bullshit country of Xiaqiu country. To put it bluntly, Lao Tzu has nothing to do with your Xiaqiu Kingdom, even if the people I know, they have been dead for I don't know how many years. ”

What Ling Yun said is true, he is now more than two hundred years old, and the friends of Xiaqiu Country who dominated the rivers and lakes together have long since died, but he did not lie to Liu Qing about this.

Liu Qing looked at Ling Yun very solemnly, although he was not very old, he grew up in the country of Xiaqiu like a thorn bush, and his body was already scarred. And he continued to grow up, and his heart had already become extremely hard.

But when he saw Ling Yun's open eyes, he realized how dirty his suspicions were. Is it necessary to lie to such a person who can take his life at any time?

"Sir, Liu Qing is polite. This was the fourth time he had greeted Ling Yun, but it was also the most sincere.

Ling Yun smiled and looked at this young man who seemed to have suddenly penetrated everything, and his heart was also happy.

"Say, I see that you are also a man who dares to act, and I will not be embarrassed for you if you dare to come here alone. Ling Yun slowly drank the tea and looked at Liu Qing with a smile.

"Sir............" Liu Qing looked at Ling Yun and said with a little heaviness: "Today's matter is really at fault, I regarded you as someone sent by the opponents in the national capital, thinking that you were going to harm me, so there was today's misunderstanding." ”

"I see, but it's understandable. Ling Yun nodded silently, and suddenly changed his words: "But you are a city lord, what can anyone do to you, you have to be so nervous?" Also, what mistake did this Xuanwu Hall make, your city lord's mansion is domineering and wants to prohibit their whole family from continuing to refine medicine, this is not something that can be prevaricated with one or two sentences, right?"

Liu Qing's face was heavy, and he said silently: "Since Mr. is a reasonable person, he must be able to understand my difficulties. This matter is a long story, and after listening to the reason, Mr. will know how embarrassed I am Liu Qing. ”

Liu Qing turned his head to look at Duan Cheng, who was standing by the window and looking up at the moon, and muttered, "Actually, we are all people who crawl hard in the thorn bushes." ”
