Chapter 33: Conspiracy in the Woods
Chapter 33: Conspiracy in the Woods
"Is there only a few of you guarding the South City Gate?"
Lin Que stood on the city wall and looked around.
Outside the city wall, there are endless mountains and hills, which are sparsely populated, and there are often monsters infested, although the vegetation is dense, but it is also nicknamed "wasteland".
Because there are few people in the vicinity for hundreds of miles except here.
And this city is also called the Great Wilderness City.
Several Lin family warriors replied: "Back to the young master, the Great Wilderness City has been safe and sound for nearly a hundred years, and the most recent enemy attack was more than eighty years ago, when it was attacked by a group of demon beasts in the northern section of the mountain range, so although our Great Wilderness City has a city gate, it is usually not closed, and we are here to guard, just to beware of some thieves and thieves." ”
"A few of us are enough to deal with these Xiaoxiao."
Only then did Lin Que realize that the Great Wilderness City had always had no enemies.
The entire town is guarded by three major families.
The Lin family is in charge of the south gate, the Li family is in charge of the north gate, and the Qin family is in charge of the west gate.
A few decades ago, when the three families divided the Great Wilderness City, they blocked the east gate, and it is now forbidden to enter and exit.
There were no enemies in the Great Wilderness City, so the guards of the three families naturally relaxed.
On weekdays, there are very few patrolling guards in the city, so there will be a few warriors here in the city wall to make a show.
Lin Que knew that the guards of their Lin Mansion were only thirty or forty people.
The rest of the clansmen were basically assigned to Nanshi, or went out to caravans to do business.
The ratio of guards to trade personnel is almost 1 to 9.
"This time is special, you must strengthen your vigilance here at the South Gate, especially be vigilant against foreign powerhouses sneaking in, and you must always be on guard against anyone who comes and goes."
"Tomorrow, I will ask Elder Lin Ying to send more people to assist you."
The warriors of the city gate also got serious.
Lin Que's tone was serious, what he said now already had a considerable weight in the Lin family.
A few people didn't dare to slack off.
Especially when Lin Zhan was abolished, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there will inevitably be friction between them and the Zhou family.
The direction to the south of the city is particularly important for the Lin family.
Standing on the city gate and looking into the city, you can see the eaves of the Lin Mansion.
It can be said that if you cross this city wall, you can go straight to Lin Mansion.
In the event of an enemy attack, the south of the city is the first line of defense at the forefront.
Lin Que stood on the city wall and did not go back immediately.
Looking at the mountains in the distance, in the mountains, a black shadow was rushing through the city, rushing towards the city gate.
Suddenly.
The shadow stopped.
A look of hesitation flashed in Lin Que's eyes.
"What did the big lion find?"
Lin Que's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.
In the woods, two miles from the city gate, several figures appeared.
Several of them were dressed in nocturnal black robes, with masks on their faces, and their identities could not be distinguished.
"How's it going?"
"Lin Que returned to the mansion this morning, and then Doctor Wang left in a hurry, as if he had found some elixir."
"The Great Elder has been in retreat for two months, and he has successfully broken through to the peak of the Mortal Realm, and his strength has increased greatly, and he will definitely be able to win the position of the head of the family this time."
"Very good, tell him that as long as he gets rid of Lin Que, our Zhou family guarantees that the position of the head of the Lin family will always be his."
……
In the forest, the sound of conversation was very low, and Lin Que hid on the branch of a large tree, covering his figure with leaves, and secretly observed.
Beside him is a shadowmane lion that is in a state of invisibility.
Soon, one of the shadows departed and quickly fled towards the city.
The others, still in place, seemed to be waiting for something.
"Big Lion!"
Lin Que signaled, and the Shadowmane Lion quickly followed, following the man in black who had returned to the city.
Half an hour later, another person came from the direction of the Great Wilderness City.
This person did not make any disguise, wearing a brocade robe, wearing a jade pendant on his waist, not very old, only in his twenties, his aura was magnificent, and his appearance was extraordinary.
Someone who came, Lin Que knew, was the genius of the Li family in the north of the city, Li Hongyu.
Before Lin Que's bloodline awakened, Li Hongyu had always been recognized as a first-day talent among the three major families in the Great Wilderness City.
It is also the Tianjiao of the Great Wilderness City.
I heard that the Li family is paying tribute to the Shaoqing Sword Sect every year and wants to send Li Hongyu in.
"The day after tomorrow, tell your father Li Yongkang that when the duel in the Lin Mansion is over, it will be the time to wash the Lin Mansion in blood."
"Lin Tai and Lin Ying are two strong men, our Zhou family will deal with them, but Lin Zhan, you can't move."
Li Hongyu asked: "Your Zhou family has gone to such great lengths just for a small ring?" ”
"The ring of the head of the Lin family, is it a divine soldier of the immortal family?"
Li Hongyu was puzzled, the Zhou family had worked hard and planned for so many years, but it was not the Lin family's industry.
It's just puzzling.
"You don't have to worry about this, say okay, the Lin family's property belongs to your Li family, and our Zhou family's words still count."
"I hope so!"
……
After a long time, Lin Que returned to the Great Wilderness City.
Following the Shadowmane Lion, Lin Que came all the way to the Qin family in the west of the city.
Seeing the familiar mansion, Lin Que had mixed feelings in his heart.
The Qin family, that is, Qin Yao's family.
On that day, Qin Yao and her father, Qin Mad, seized his true dragon bloodline.
Throw him off a cliff.
At the last moment, the disdainful and indifferent expressions of Qin Yao and Qin Mad were like a barb, piercing deep into Lin Que's heart.
That's why he wants to get stronger.
"Are you sure the man got in here?"
The big lion nodded very definitely: "It's not wrong, that person's speed is very slow, and his cultivation is also very low, so he can't find me at all, so he entered this house." ”
Lin Que and the Shadowmane Lion were standing on the eaves, and a team of Qin family guards below were patrolling, but they didn't see anything.
Lin Que sighed in his heart, the stealth ability of the big lion is simply a natural assassin.
Look down through the skylight on the roof.
Inside the house, two people were talking.
One of them was Qin Lan, who he met on the street that day, and he taught him a lesson.
Qin Lan was friends with Lin Ye of their Lin family, and often came and went to their Lin Mansion.
I often stayed overnight, and after a long time, the people in the Lin Mansion didn't feel anything, and they got used to it.
Usually, Qin Lan goes in and out of the Lin Mansion, and she is also very free.
"Lin Tai's side has already explained it properly, and the day after tomorrow, Lin Que will die, but it's just ......"
"Why does the Zhou family have to ask us to come forward and win over Lin Tai?"
"Dad, what's in it for us to do this?"
There is another person in the house, Lin Que is very familiar with, this person is the person who snatched his true dragon bloodline, Qin Mad, the head of the Qin family!
Faced with Qin Lan's question, Qin Mad said angrily: "When will you kid be able to make a difference?" Your sister took Lin Que's true dragon bloodline and became Shangguan Jian's fiancée! ”
"Now that Lin Que is not dead, the blocked bloodline has been opened, if he is allowed to become the head of the Lin family, he will definitely raise the strength of the whole clan to attack my Qin family."
