The sky was as clear as a wash, a few clouds floated faintly, and the sun was scorching like a pot of fire. To read the latest chapter, please lock in the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info the land of the summer afternoon, depressed and silent, with a bit of lazy taste,
But at this very moment, hundreds of tall horses rushed out of Geya City as if they were fighting fires, and relaxed in the direction of Kesha City. The knights on the horse are all wearing green helmets and bright armor, left shields and right guns, looking at their neat and uniform movements, calm as a mountain, a discerning person can know at a glance that this is the hurricane camp of the Murong family.
The leader was a young man with a moderate figure and a radiant spirit, but his sword eyebrows were wrinkled tightly at the moment, as if there was something in his heart that he couldn't let go.
"Big brother, do you think Miss will be fine? Uncle Qiu couldn't make it clear in the letter. Murong Shan, who was stout and dark-skinned, whipped violently, and in the neighing of the horse "Ene Yuyu", he rushed to the side of the young man before. It turned out that this handsome young man was Murong Yi, the leader of the hurricane camp, and Murong Ke, the patriarch of the Murong family, only had such a daughter as Murong Yi under his knees, but he adopted six orphans with Murong Yi as his righteous sons since he was a child, and now, these six righteous sons have become the backbone of the emerging generation of the Murong family.
Murong Yi's eyes showed a trace of anxiety, but he turned calm strangely, and said slowly, "Uncle Qiu, Aunt Feng is here, plus they have hired a new team of mercenaries, there should be no problem." But having said that, Murong Yi's heart was more anxious than anyone else. It is no wonder that the entire Murong family understands his intentions for Murong Yi, and is also very optimistic that he can become the fast son-in-law of the Murong family. "Sister Yi, you must not be fine!" Murong Yi prayed silently in his heart, and the horsewhip in his hand was even more subconsciously jerked.
The horses neighed, hundreds of iron hooves were even more raging, and the big thorns galloped up, leaving only a dust mist that had been raised, and it seemed that it could not find a place to fall.
In Kesha City, countless merchants on the nearly ten-meter-wide bluestone street were chatting loudly at the entrance of various shops, and countless shouts rang out one after another. Dwarves, elves, wingmen,1 and orcs, which are usually hard to see elsewhere, are so common here. If you're lucky, you can also see some magical beasts raised by nobles and those elemental elves who are forced to sign contracts, in a word, in this city, as long as you have money, you can get anything you want, meet any race you want. In such an atmosphere, no one would pay attention to Ling Hujue and the others who had just walked into the city gate.
"Uncle Qiu, should we find a place to live," Ling Hu patted the horse's neck and said in a low voice. Murong Qiu, who was riding side by side with him, turned his face sideways and smiled boldly, "Linghu Gongzi, you seem to be a little disgusted with the city. ”
"For us who are hunters, this place is too crowded!" Ling Fox smiled toothily, and his faint expression had that chic and dusty taste. Turning sideways, looking at the houses and the endless flow of people on both sides, Ling Hu Jue thought, "Yes, only the vast grassland, the unobstructed sky, the forest that can never be walked out, and the primitive and natural breath are our true belonging!"
Murong Qiu stared at Ling Hujue, who was deep in thought, and waves also appeared in his heart, "What kind of young man is this? Imaginary martial arts, incredible magic, and a group of terrible subordinates, if he were someone else, he was already crazy and didn't even know who he was, but he still maintained such a pure heart." I hope we don't become enemies. ”
After walking this bluestone street, turn into a small lane three or four meters wide, behind a few bitter trees with lush leaves, a two-story building made of giant stones appeared in front of everyone, this building is very wide, covering a very wide area, around it, built a half-storey high wolfskin stone wall, the end of the wall faintly reveals a few bamboo shadows, the two red lacquered gates, tightly closed.
Murong Qiu turned over and fell off the horse, and explained to Ling Hu Jue with a smile, "The Murong family has a lot of business here, and this is the place where the head of the family stays when he comes out to inspect!"
With the crisp sound of slamming the door, a middle-aged man dressed as a house slave poked his head out and rubbed his sleepy eyes, but before he could see who was standing in front of him, he shouted, "Who, what are you knocking at noon?"
"I!" Murong Qiu said slowly and forcefully. At this time, the house slave saw the person in front of him clearly, and immediately said in horror, "You are the third master, the villain has no eyes, you should be beaten!" After speaking, he gently slapped himself twice.
Murong Qiu snorted coldly, and turned around to beckon Ling Hu Jue and the others to enter.
This house doesn't look good on the outside, but it's really magnificent on the inside. Not to mention the houses, the exotic flowers and plants around the pavilions, the rockery fish ponds, just the milky white marble laid on the ground, the rosewood carved doors and windows on the walls, and the pale yellow magic crystals hanging on the roof, are enough to compare with the palace mansion.
After assigning the room, everyone went back to their rooms to prepare for rest, so as to comfort the wind and food for many days. Linghu jue freshened up slightly, and was about to greet Sisi, who was lying on the sandalwood table, staring at the agate jade antiques and other things on it, when there were a few knocks on the door, "Linghu Gongzi, have you slept, can you say a few words?"
"Murong Feng, what is she doing here?" Ling Hu Jue, who heard who was knocking on the door, hesitated a few times, and with the open door, a pretty figure wearing a magician's robe walked gracefully. Looking at Linghu's eyes as bright as the morning star, Murong Feng's heart was divided, but he immediately said with a straight face, "Linghu Gongzi, the reinforcements from the Murong family will arrive today, I will inform Gongzi." ”
"Reinforcements, isn't this a clear indication that he doesn't believe us?" Ling Hu Jue was secretly unhappy in his heart, but it was not easy to say it clearly, for Murong Feng, he always had a very special feeling, maybe it was because of the kind of eyes she looked at him, nodded slightly, and said awefully, "That's fine, anyway, it's still far away from school, and we just have a good time." ”
As if he understood the unhappiness in Ling Hujue's heart, Murong Feng hurriedly explained. "Linghu Gongzi, you misunderstood, Brother Qiu just passed the situation of being attacked halfway and hiring you back to the family, and the patriarch was worried about Xiaoyi's comfort, so he sent someone to meet us, as for you, you can't get out if you don't send us to the emperor. ”
Ling Hu said with a chic smile, "Miss Murong isn't here just to tell me about this, right?"
Murong Feng's eyes glanced at the thoughts he was still playing with, and said with a slight question, "I don't know if Linghu Gongzi can sue me, how did you get to know this little sister?" As a high-level magician, she certainly understood what the light elemental spirit represented.
"This?" Ling Fox frowned slightly in embarrassment.
"Since Childe has something unspeakable, then don't say it, I just want to remind Childe, don't let this little sister fall into the eyes of too many people. After speaking, Murong Feng got up and said goodbye and went out, leaving only the thoughtful Linghu Jue.
At the beginning of the day, dinner is served. Under Murong Yi's repeated insistence, Ling Hu Jue had no choice but to take Xiu Si and others to protect this difficult daughter to go to the night market, of course, such a thing Sisi could not be missed, under Ling Hu Jue's instructions, Man Si wrapped Sisi like a baby in silk clothes and held him in his arms.
The night market in Kesha City is indeed colorful, with monsters performing and buying, setting up stalls to sell all kinds of snacks, divination, prophecy, and all kinds of vendors shouting to buy. Coupled with the endless flow of people, the beautiful and colorful lights outline a noisy scene. Especially at the entrance of some art academies, nobles, scholars, and some wealthy merchants are in an endless stream.
Murong Yi's little face flushed with excitement, and a pair of beautiful eyes kept looking around, "Brother Jue, I want to eat that thing!" Referring to the sugar gourd not far away, her crisp and soft voice sounded heartwarmingly. It's no wonder that after growing so big, it is the first time for her to go shopping at night, not to mention that there is a person next to her who makes her like.
Linghu Jue took out a few coins, squeezed them over, and bought four strings. "Brother Jue, what are you buying so much for, I can't finish it. Murong Yi pouted happily.
"It's not all for you, fool!" Murong Yi's cute appearance drove away the unhappiness in Ling Hujue's heart, and said with a smile.
After giving it to Murong Yi, Xiao Yi and Sisi each with a string, Ling Hu Jue handed the last string of sugar gourds to Mansi, "Mansi, you can also have a string." ”
Manss paused for a moment, her eyes suddenly brightened, looking at Ling Hujue's face with eyes like a morning star, red lips and white teeth, and said cautiously for fear of misunderstanding, "For me?"
Ling Hu Jue smiled and nodded heavily, Mansi's eyes moistened all of a sudden, for so many years, no one had ever bought something for her to eat, and no one had ever been so considerate to her, she took a sip with tears in her eyes, sweet, a sweetness that pierced her heart. Life is like this, sometimes, it only takes a small, ordinary thing to let you touch the warmest and most fragile emotions in your heart.
Some people here are happy, but some people are not satisfied over there, Murong Yi looked at Mansi with a happy face, angrily stuffed the sugar gourd in his hand into Xiao Wei's hand, puffed out his mouth, "I won't eat it, I'll go back!" After speaking, he turned around and left.
Ling Hu Jue and the others chased after him, preparing to go back to the house, Cole walked to Ling Hu Jue's side and said solemnly, "Boss, I won't go back first, I'll go see Patu's father and mother, and send them some money by the way." "Patu is one of the members of the demon dog team who died in battle at the gate of the Donglin Art Academy.
The smile on Ling Hujue's face immediately froze, and his mind returned to the battle that night...... Enduring the pain of spasms and the torment of convulsions, he said for a long time, "You should have sued me earlier, not only you go, I will go, all of us will go." Turning his head, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Mansi, you and Sisi send Miss Murong home, and we will go do something." ”
Mans and the others understood the sadness in Ling Hu Jue's tone, and they all nodded gloomily, and even Murong Yi, who had always been delicate, didn't say much, just looked at Ling Hu Jue silently with a look of pity. Silently departed.
Under the leadership of Cole, Ling Hu Jue and the others came to a slum near the west gate of Kesha City, what kind of place is this? Under a few old banyan trees at the entrance of the alley, there are a large number of thatched huts, some of which are even just grass huts. Everywhere there was an overflow of sewage, the ground was covered with chewed roots and turf, and in the faint candlelight of a few houses, there was a lifeless smell and a pungent rancid stench.
Linghu Jueyan was stunned by the scene in front of him, when he was in the mountains, although his life was relatively hard, but it was far from being like this. Ling Hu Jue's heart seemed to be bitten by something, and his whole body was cold in pain, "Ling Hu Jue, Patu lost his life for you, but you let his family live in such a place, you, you!"
Cole looked at Ling Hujue who had stopped, thinking that he was not used to the smell here, so he rubbed his hands and said a little guiltily, "Boss, you actually don't use it here." ”
"I shouldn't have come, I shouldn't have come so late!" Linghu said to himself. Those clear eyes were covered with a layer of mist mixed with guilt.
Everyone fell silent, and everyone's heart became heavy when they saw the families of their dead comrades-in-arms living in such an environment! There was a heavy rancid stench floating in the air, but none of them covered their noses, and the faint stars and moons were like this alley, as silent as death, and as miserable as blood!
"I'm sorry for Patu, I'm sorry for the brothers who have left us. Linghu let out a low, almost inaudible moan, was silent for a long time, and then suddenly straightened up, his eyes were as cold as lightning, and said in an extremely firm tone, "Everyone listen, no matter which one of us falls in the future, the rest of the living must take care of his family, the dead are related, and the living are loved!"
"The dead are connected, the living are loved!" everyone responded in unison, and the low words contained how much deep understanding, how much from the depths of the heart, the heart-wrenching, and the indelible oath that turned into ashes.
Sleepless tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
