Volume 1: Dawn in the Night Chapter 14: The Old Lord
The little girl is full of innocence, followed by a man and a woman, who should be the parents of the child. The woman was beautiful and gentle, the man was straight and straight, and from time to time, the two came behind the little girl.
Ye Qingfeng vaguely noticed that Liu Mingyue beside him pursed her lips dissatisfiedly because of this scene, and her eyes were sparkling. Knowing that Liu Mingyue was envious again, he didn't hesitate, and directly took Liu Mingyue's hand with force, and continued to lock his eyes on the little girl.
The old man directly dragged a string of candy and sent it to the little girl, and said with a smile. "Little girl, this string of grandfathers will give you, don't need money, grandpa is going to close the stall. ”
When the little girl heard this, she didn't take the candy, her eyes lit up, she looked up at her mother beside her, and asked with innocence in her eyes. "Mom, can I either?"
The woman smiled beautifully, lowered her body gently, stroked her daughter's forehead, and then turned her head to look at the old man. "Uncle, how can we not pay? How many dollars do you have for this string of sugar?"
Like this kind of sugar, it can't be a copper coin at all, it's just a few iron coins, and the old man is not short of this money, and it can be seen from his face that he is feeling a little lost.
The old man sighed. "Take it, I don't know how long Sakura can be peaceful, old man, I am not short of these iron coins, your daughter is so sensible, just let me give her. ”
After that, the old man wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, caressed the little girl's forehead lovingly, and handed a string of sugar to the little girl's hand. Then, the body of the crane pushed the wooden cart and slowly walked into the distance.
"Get out of the way!
At this time, the loud sound of horses' hooves on the main street of the town attracted everyone's attention.
The pedestrians on the street retreated to both sides, and more than a dozen people rode unicorns, speeding straight towards Ye Qingfeng and a few people.
Due to the old man's inconvenience, he couldn't dodge, and the one-horned horse at the head crashed directly into the wooden cart. There was nothing wrong with the horse, but the man above flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
After the man landed, he rolled on the ground in pain, and you can imagine how painful it was. After a few minutes, he got up through gritted teeth, picked up the whip in anger and walked to the old man's side.
"How are you blind? You dare to stand in the way of the messenger, are you not afraid of death?" As he spoke, the man raised his whip.
"My lord, I didn't mean to block it! I'm old and have difficulty moving, I want to hide, I instinctively want to hide!" The old man's eyes were full of fear, his hands kept waving, and he spoke incoherently.
"I'll go to your grandma's! When I shouted, it was two minutes before I came to you, and you just didn't want to hide! I let you see what happens if you don't have a long eye today!" The man swung the whip down with all his might.
The old man closed his eyes in fear, he couldn't hide at all with the speed of his movements, and he knew that if this whip came down, he would definitely take a vacation for a month.
"Stop!" But just as the whip was about to fall, Ye Qingfeng rushed forward and grabbed the man's hand, shook it aside viciously, and directly threw the man a stumble.
The man's eyes were full of incredulity, I really couldn't imagine that in this small town of the vassal state, there were people who dared to stand in the way of officials, and who dared to act like officials?
Then his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Bold! A civilian, who dares to stand in the way of the official's errand, come here, take it for me!"
In an instant, the other people on the unicorn horse all drew their whips and jumped off the horse, rushing towards Ye Qingfeng!
Hum!
Bang bang bang!
Unexpectedly, about 4 minutes later, more than a dozen officials on horseback were all lying on the ground, wailing and rolling with their stomachs in their arms, and the official who was the leader was already dumbfounded.
Men may not have thought that Ye Qingfeng kicked one by one, and he seemed to be a weak person, but his skills were so neat. Then his eyes froze, and he shouted again. "Bold! Do you have a problem in your head? I'm an official of the Holy Land, a messenger who delivers a letter to the Sakura Crossing Kingdom, and you're a capital offense if you touch me!"
"Death? Are you a ball? A messenger, furious to this point? Who gave you the guts?" The words fell, and I saw that Mola's hand was up and down, and the human head was separated from the body before it could be shouted.
"Captain!" The rest of the messengers were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene, but they couldn't get up when they wanted to get up, and the kick just now was too heavy by Ye Qingfeng.
Immediately, Mora walked up to one of his attendants, and his sword rested on the neck of another.
In an instant, a fishy smell came, and a cloud of liquid flowed out from under the storehouse, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably, and he looked at Mora in shock.
"Prince?!!!
"You know me, what are you doing here?" Mora asked, the sword in her hand not withdrawn, still staring at the man viciously.
"The villain was originally a soldier outside the palace of the prince of the forbidden army, and now he is the prime minister's messenger, and he was ordered by the prime minister to send a letter to Nibal, the lord of Sakura Crossing Kingdom!" The man said in a trembling voice.
"Where's the letter?" Mora's voice was still cold.
"Faith! Believe in the clothes of the messenger of the Lord, Your Highness, I am a small soldier, please spare me, I have not betrayed the king, but my humble ability cannot change anything, I can only live in secret. The man pointed to the man who had just been beheaded, and the rest of his entourage also knelt before Mora.
Messisi pulled out the bamboo tube from the dead messenger, pulled out a black cloth, and sent it to Mora. "Second brother, this should be the letter to be sent!"
Mora took the letter, looked down, and Liu Mingyue Ye Qingfeng also walked over.
Ye Qingfeng learned very quickly, and compared with the local text, he could also translate one or two, only to see that the letter read:
[Moses Gujing Sakura Crossing Kingdom Lord Nibal, Big Brother, I haven't seen you for many days, are you in good health? The king intends to pass on to me because the crown prince Mora is cynical and can't bear to hand over the country to a person he doesn't trust. Princess Messisi disagreed, so she stole the essence shield of the Mayana Kingdom's protector artifact, and heard that she fled to Sakuradu, if her old friends found the traces of the crown princess, can you help the king capture them?
Hum!
Mora looked at the letter, her fists clenched, and she gritted her teeth, but instead of throwing the letter away, she put it directly into her bosom, and the great sword in her hand was put back on the neck of the messenger's attendant.
"Spare me, Your Highness!"
"Yes, Your Highness, spare us!"
A line of followers kept kowtowing and clattering, and there were already blood stains on the ground.
Mora frowned, staring at his followers. "If I let you go, what are you going to say when you go back? Isn't Sakura Crossing going to be dangerous? Forgive me, I'm not a murderer, just because in this troubled world, your death can be exchanged for a respite in a region, I'm sorry!"
When the words fell, Mo La's hands rose and fell, and the heads of the people directly separated the body. The surrounding pedestrians all knelt down from time to time, and at the same time burst into fierce applause.
Everyone is not a fool, how can it be possible to Zen for no reason? The previous Mayana's will was passed on ten times and hundreds, although Sakura Wataru tried his best to cover it up, and every time Mayana's will was officially destroyed, everyone also knew it.
Ye Qingfeng and the others were inconvenient to stay, and they decided to stay in this town for a night, but it seemed that they really couldn't live, after all, there were too many dangers.
After a short trip, several people passed through the town, went out of the city gate at the other end, bought a unicorn and carriage from the horse cellar outside the city, and drove straight to Huadu at night.
Liu Mingyue didn't get into the car, she conjured the four wings behind her, hovering over the carriage, and from time to time, the carriage drove into front of the gate of Huadu City.
Ye Qingfeng was shocked again, the gate of Huadu City was ten meters high, and the two city walls extended endlessly, as shocking and solemn as the Acropolis, the gate was full of cherry blossoms, and you could vaguely hear the hustle and bustle of the city in the middle of the night.
Several people came to the door, and the general guarding the city nodded respectfully, and then said solemnly. "Hello, show your ID!"
Ye Qingfeng was confused, where did he and Liu Mingyue get their identity documents?
But just as he was about to speak, he saw Messisi take out a gold coin from his money bag and put it in the hands of the general defending the city, and smiled sweetly. "Little brother, you are accommodating, my brother and sister are foreigners, they don't have Mayana ID documents, and they won't get into trouble when they enter the city, so they don't look like bad people, right?"
The generals defending the city held the gold coins, their expressions were embarrassed for a while, and they all said that money can make ghosts grind, and the otherworldly continent is not fake, the rules are dead, people are alive, who will have trouble with money?
After thinking for a moment, the general defending the city didn't say much, just nodded, and then waved his arm, and the soldiers behind him directly withdrew their weapons.
Passing through the city gate, Ye Qingfeng really saw the city here this time, the lights of the flowers were red, and the fluorescent stone in front of the door didn't want to cover it with a cover, this city is a city that never sleeps.
Although it was late at night, the rickshaw was still parked on the side of the road in a regular manner, and the two cars passed through the bustling street one after the other, and about an hour later, the car stopped in front of a large, seemingly dilapidated yard.
"Second brother, aren't we going to look for Grandpa Nibal? How did you come to the suburbs?" Messisi is different from Mela, she is the first time she has come to Huadu, and there are many questions in her mind.
Hearing this, Mora smiled slightly and said. "This is the Sakura Crossing Mansion, where Grandpa Nipar lives!"
Forehead!
Ye Qingfeng was also a little confused, the city looked extremely prosperous, more than Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty, the cherry blossoms crossed the town, the lord of the country and the feudal officials, how could they live so dilapidated?
The whole yard covers an area of about 40,000 square meters, the wall has faded, the tiles on the top of the wall are sparse, and the two big red doors have long been turned into flower doors.
But in politeness, Ye Qingfeng still didn't interject and followed Mo La to the door.
In front of the door, two soldiers stood majestically, and when they saw several people approaching, their weapons horizontal in the center. "Hello, the Mansion of the Lord, don't trespass, what is your business?
Well!
Mora nodded, and then handed the captured letter directly to the soldier.
Squeak!
After about half an hour, the soldier reopened the door, which looked even older, with rusty hinges and a screeching sound as it opened.
The soldier saluted respectfully, and then returned the letter to Mora, saying. "Hello messenger, the lord said that he didn't want to see you, he said that he was old and old, and he didn't have the heart to do big things, please go back and tell Moses, I don't want to accompany you!"
Scold!
Mora laughed out loud, but he was not surprised, Nepar was upright, and he fought for the kingdom without a wife, children and daughters all his life, how could such a person be in the same league as Moseschus?
Ye Qingfeng could see that Mera didn't mean to test Nibal just now, but just wanted to see Nibal secretly, after all, at this time, there were not many people who could believe it.
Mora said again. "Hello, the lord misunderstood what I meant, and I troubled the little brother to go back and report it again, so I said that Mola asked to see me!"
Airplanes!
When the soldier heard this, a trace of fear suddenly drifted in his eyes, this name is now on the cusp.
Then he glanced up and down at Murla, not to mention, it did bear some resemblance to the exiled prince on the wanted map. So I didn't dare to say more, so I just nodded and turned my head to enter the door.
Squeak!
After a few more minutes, the big red door slowly opened, and out of the door came an old man with crane hair and silver beard, holding a cane, and the silver beard swayed in the wind, and his eyebrows were full of energy.
When the old man saw the person in front of him, he walked quickly in front of Mora, holding his cane in one hand and his left chest in the other, and knelt down on one knee. "Sakura Crossing Lord Nibal, see Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
