Chapter 70: Goodbye, Pingyang City
Since the dean and Leng Zheng both said so, then Shen Mo had no choice but to obey, after all, as the saying goes, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you; Shen Mo doesn't want to suffer, so this matter is decided.
Leng Yi suddenly grabbed Shen Mo's hand, bit her lip lightly, and whispered, "Shen Mo, I will also go with you." ”
Leng Dong finally mustered up the courage and walked out of the corner, when he walked to Marita's side, Marita glanced at him and scared Leng Dong's little face white, but he still gritted his teeth, swept past Marita, walked to the bedside, and said in a firm tone: "I'll go too!"
Leng Zheng turned his face and said solemnly: "What are you two going to do? Don't make trouble for Shen Mu." ”
Shen Mo smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, let the two of them follow, and they will have a good response after they go." ”
In fact, Leng Zheng didn't really want to stop Leng Dong and Leng Yi from going to Wangcheng, but he really wanted the two of them to follow Shen Mo's side, first, to see the world and experience it, and to strengthen the relationship with Shen Mo;
Seeing that Shen Mo agreed, Leng Zheng had nothing to say, saying that he was going to prepare for the three of them, and then turned around and left.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Shen Mu, who was asleep, was woken up by the excited Leng Dong, saying that Leng Zheng had prepared the carriage and was ready to set off at any time.
Shen Mo thought that he was not in a hurry, and he would wait a few days before going, but he didn't expect Leng Zheng to be in such a hurry, he only discussed it yesterday, and it was all ready this morning.
When Shen Mo walked to the gate, the people of the Leng family, the dean and teachers of the academy had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw Shen Mo coming out, they all sent blessings such as 'have a smooth journey, return triumphantly, and successfully win the championship';
The carriage that Leng Zheng is preparing is a two-horse driven caravan, because in Binh Duong City, people are not popular to take a carriage, after all, in such a small place, if you can save money, no one will spend money on such a luxury as a carriage. Therefore, this carriage was also borrowed by Leng Zheng from other places, and it was not considered luxurious.
Leng Yi and Leng Dong took the lead in getting into the carriage, and Shen Mo was just about to get into the car, but found that there was one person missing, so he quickly turned around and asked, "Where is Marita?"
Hearing this, Leng Zheng was stunned: "I haven't seen her since last night, could it be that she ran away secretly?"
Shen Mo shook his head: "Marita and I signed a war pet contract, and she can't leave me for more than a thousand meters, and she is estimated to be still in the mansion." ”
Leng Zheng hurriedly ordered people to look for Marita's residence, but when he couldn't find it, he mobilized everyone and turned Nuo's mansion upside down, only to find her behind a crooked-necked tree in the backyard.
After being discovered, Marita became angry and shouted angrily at Leng Zheng and the rest of the family: "Who told you to come to me? Believe it or not, I destroyed you, damn humans!"
This sentence scared everyone into a stagger, even Leng Zheng was no exception, after all, once Marita launched a madness, except for silence, there was really no one who was her opponent. But what puzzled Leng Zheng was that he was fine yesterday, why did he suddenly launch a surge today?
Just when Leng Dong was full of doubts and was in a dilemma, Shen Mo appeared behind Leng Dong and snorted softly: "Who did you say you were going to kill just now?"
As soon as she saw Shen Mo, Marita instantly wilted, although her face was twisted, she didn't dare to be angry with Shen Mo, she could only make a bitter face, and said softly: "Can I not go?"
"Give me a reason. Shen Mo didn't refuse, but was very curious about Marita's resistance, after all, with Marita's strength, even if she went to the royal city, she could walk sideways, so why would she be afraid to go to the royal city?
Marita sighed and whispered: "Back then, when the human race and the demon race were fighting, our dragon clan helped the human race to stop the demon race, but after the war, the human race surrounded and suppressed us, and the mercenary union held a bounty, each dragon's head was worth ten thousand gold, so that countless mercenary groups of all sizes flocked to it; many of our clansmen died at the hands of mercenaries, and this bounty task is still going on today......
"So, you're afraid of those mercenary groups in Wangcheng?" asked Shen Mo with a little sympathy.
Marita shook her head: "It's not because of the mercenary group, but because of the Shen family's ...... who issued the bounty task."
"Shen family?" Shen Mo and Leng Zheng frowned at the same time, thinking how could it be related to the Shen family?
Marita nodded and said: "It is because of the Shen family, when the human continent completely encircled and suppressed us, and the Jin Yuan Kingdom was led by the Shen family, those mercenary groups just looked at the Shen family's eyes, and there were more than 20 dragons with me at the beginning, including my father, but later encountered the people of the Shen family, except for me, all the clansmen were killed, and my father was also imprisoned by the people of the Shen family, you don't know the horror of the strength of the Shen family, even our dragons also respect them." ”
In fact, Marita didn't know that Leng Zheng, who was once a servant of the Shen family, knew the strength of the Shen family better than anyone else.
The reason why the Shen family was able to become the largest family in the Jin Yuan Kingdom, and even the royal city trembled when they stomped their feet, was entirely because of the Shen family's strong family inheritance and many star-like masters, especially the Shen family patriarch and several sons, the terrifying strength of the power, even the king of the Jin Yuan Kingdom was afraid of it.
Shen Mo's face was also very solemn, after all, after he went to the royal city, he would have to face his clansmen, and judging from the news obtained from Bai Huanyu and the third uncle, his clansmen obviously would not show mercy to their subordinates, but would be punished by everyone, compared to Marita, his own situation was more dangerous than Marita.
After a short silence, Shen Mo looked at Marita and asked, "You appear in human form, will the people of the Shen family still recognize you?"
It seems that the shadow of the Shen family has long been planted deep in the depths of Marita's heart, lingering, and becoming an eternal nightmare. Marita said in horror: "You underestimate the Shen family too much, although they don't know what I look like, but they know my taste, and they can even directly feel the energy fluctuations on my body, as soon as they see me, they will immediately recognize me." ”
"Then why are they arresting you, just because you're a dragon?" Shen Mo said with a furrowed brow.
Marita shook her head: "Although this is the case on the surface, my father said that the Shen family had a bigger conspiracy, and they defeated my father and the twenty most powerful dragons in the clan in order to capture me. As for what to do, my father didn't say anything, but just told me that I must stay away from Wangcheng and avoid the people of the Shen family. ”
Although Shen Mo didn't know that there was a silent secret on Marita, which made the Shen family attach so much importance to it, since Marita followed him, he had to take care of her safety.
After a short silence, Shen Mo took out the pill that the third uncle gave him that could hide his own breath from the spatial ring, broke off half of it, and handed it to Marita: "Take this half of the pill with you, and the people of the Shen family will not be able to find you." ”
"Really?" said Marita's eyes, as if she had been treasured.
In fact, Shen Mo's heart is also a little empty, although the third uncle seems to be very good to him, but even his uncle Shen Batian killed his father, and he can't wait to kill himself, whether the third uncle is good or bad, it is still impossible to make a conclusion, and when it is determined that this pill will work, it will directly determine the third uncle's attitude towards himself.
In order to reassure Marita, Shen Mo firmly said that it would definitely work, which made Marita feel a little relieved.
Marita carefully put away the pills and followed Shen Mo into the carriage.
"Shen Mo, you must win the championship of the Hundred Courtyards Martial Arts!"
"Silence, we are optimistic about you, the future of Pingyang City is pinned on you!"
"Have a nice trip. ”
The teachers who saw off Shen Mo left and sent their most sincere wishes.
Shen Mo didn't like this sad scene of parting, so he just waved goodbye to everyone far-fetched, and didn't say any touching parting words.
Looking at the smaller and smaller Pingyang City, Shen Mo sighed in his heart, he was spurned in this small city and experienced the most miserable life in his life, but now, this city has accepted himself and made himself truly a part of Pingyang City;
Shen Mo loves and hates Pingyang City, and this complex feeling shows Shen Mo's deep bond with Pingyang City.
Shen Mo took a deep breath, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "Farewell, Pingyang City." ”
As a small border city, Pingyang City is still far away from the Wangcheng located in the center of the Jin Yuan Kingdom, and the carriage walked day and night for nearly half a month before reaching the territory of the Wangcheng. The moment I stepped into the territory of the royal city, my eyes suddenly opened up, as if even the flowers and trees growing on the roadside were more noble and lush than those of Pingyang City. The businessmen in a hurry on the road, the young master of a wealthy family in gorgeous costumes, and even the ordinary people are more high-spirited than the small landlords of Pingyang City.
Leng Dong stuck his head out of the car window, looked at the royal city that was getting closer and closer, and said excitedly: "Wow, this is the royal city, I have only heard of it before, I saw it for the first time today, I didn't expect it to be so magnificent, this city wall alone is twice as high as the city wall of Pingyang City, it is really magnificent!"
Seeing that Leng Dong was so excited, Marita poured cold water and said: "Don't be happy so early, the more the metropolis, the colder the people's hearts; ”
After half a month of getting along, Leng Dong had let go of his fear of Marita, and pouted and retorted: "Look at the passers-by around you, they are all smiling, how can it be as unbearable as you say." You haven't been here, even if you hate humans anymore, you can't just slander people, right?"
Hearing this, Marita snorted coldly: "Why haven't I been here? When the Terrans were attacked by the Demon Clan, our Dragon Clan was treated as guests by the Terrans, and even the king had to meet us in person!"
"Uh...... At this moment and that time, you can't look at the new things of the present with the old eyes, right?"
Hearing this, Marita was stunned for a moment, then turned on a gloomy face, and said angrily: "You mean to scold me for not dying?"
"It's a fact......"
Marita's eyes sharpened, and she stuck out her tongue and lips, revealing a greedy smile: "I haven't eaten a person for a long time, and I want to make a meat dish tonight." ”
"......Forehead" looked at Marita's evil eyes, Leng Dong's back was instantly covered with cold sweat, his little face turned pale, and he began to regret angering Marita, a beast with a beautiful appearance and a fierce heart.
