Chapter Twenty-Eight: Persuasion Fails
Thousands of miles in a day, eight hundred in a night.
The red dragon deserves to be a divine horse, and it did not disappoint Ling Yun.
Relying on maps and probing guards, Ling Yun successfully and quietly crossed a high mountain without encountering any high-level mysterious beasts.
Under the fire wall, there are countless deep pits dug under the fire walls, and there are sharp bamboo thorns under the pits.
Ten thousand beasts are attacking the city, and the attack will be very fierce.
Traps are also a means of defending against all beasts.
The gates of the city wall were still open, and students from the four major academies rushed to the city to seek refuge.
When the red dragon stepped into the Imperial Fire City, its sleek style attracted the attention of the students of the four major academies.
Ling Yun saw notices posted on the city list, as well as students waiting in a long line to sign up.
The content of the notice is very simple, it is to recruit martial artists who have cultivated above the martial realm to resist the siege of ten thousand beasts.
Chu Xueyao saw that so many people had signed up to participate, if there were really star beasts, wouldn't they all die?
Ling Yun categorically couldn't let the tragedy happen, and after asking passers-by about the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, he planned to let Chu Xueyao inform the City Lord of the Imperial Fire City as a princess, the true situation of the Ten Thousand Beasts.
Tomorrow at noon, probably ten thousand beasts will "come to the city".
At that time, even if you want to summon the masters of the True Martial Realm to deal with the star beasts, it will be too late.
The Wind Sand Beast can escape, and if it enters the Fire Fortress with the Star Beast, it will be a massacre!
What's the use of even the best and strongest defenses if they crumble from within?
......
In the City Lord's Mansion, Chu Xueyao met Ge Chao, the city lord of the Imperial Fire City, as the ninth princess.
After Ge Chao saw the Ninth Princess and Ling Yun, he gave him a warm reception without the slightest slack.
The identities of the Ling family and the nine princesses of the imperial family are not existences that he can afford to provoke as a small city lord of Imperial Fire City.
Ling Yun didn't mean to drink tea, he asked eagerly, "I wonder how Lord Gecheng settled the students of the four major academies?"
Ge Hao took a sip of hot tea, groaned for a while, and said, "The students of the four major academies lack practical combat experience, and this beast tide just allows these students to open their eyes and accumulate some practical experience. ”
After Chu Xueyao heard Ge Chao's plan, Zou frowned and said, "Doesn't Lord Ge know that the beast tide is very dangerous, and this beast tide is different from previous years. ”
"It is precisely because this beast tide is different from previous years that it is necessary to let these powerless students have a good experience. Ge Chao was quite confident in the defense of his city wall, in order to make meritorious contributions, he didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he didn't take Chu Xueyao and Ling Yun's warnings to heart, thinking that there were star beasts in the beast tide It was just speculation.
"Dare to ask, Lord Gecheng, where did you get the confidence to resist the star beast?" From Ge Hao's perfunctory tone, Ling Yun understood that this Ge Hao wanted to go his own way.
"What does TM mean?" said Ge deliberately changed the subject.
"Lord Katsuri, I hope you don't cry when the time comes!" Ling Yun put down these words and got up to leave.
"Lingyun! Chu Xueyao got up and chased after Ling Yun.
After Ge Chao saw Ling Yun and Chu Xueyao leave, he smiled disdainfully and muttered to himself: "Crying? Such a good meritorious opportunity is placed in front of me, how can I cry, the young man is really too young to become a big man." ”
It's just that the moment Ge Chao saw the star beast appear with his own eyes, he really cried. I also cried heartbreakingly.
Ling Yun left the City Lord's Mansion in a bad mood, and now he had to quickly find Tang Ruoxue, Nie Xiaoqian and the others.
The inn is where the students of the four major colleges live, and if you look there, you will definitely find them.
"Lingyun, you go there, wait for me. Chu Xueyao chased out of the City Lord's Mansion, she failed to persuade Ge Chao, and now she had no idea for a while.
"You don't need to worry about me going there, we'll be separated. "Ling Yun doesn't want to drag Chu Xueyao down, the Fire City is safe now, but tomorrow I'm afraid it will become hell.
Chu Xueyao stopped, she also had a temper, Ling Yun dared to treat her like this, her arrogant princess temper also became furious: "The Imperial Fire City belongs to my royal family, if I love to go, I will go there, and if I love to follow you, I will follow you." ”
Ling Yun frowned, and said with displeasure: "In that case, don't blame me for not reminding you that Flame City will be very dangerous tomorrow. ”
"Since you said it was dangerous, why didn't you leave?" Chu Xueyao was not frightened, she didn't believe how dangerous it could be. When Nan Ke and Shi Feng arrived at the Imperial Fire City to find her, even the star beasts couldn't hurt her in the slightest.
"Hehe! I naturally have my reasons why I don't leave, what do you have to do with it?" Ling Yun left Chu Xueyao in order to be angry, and it was normal for her tone to be unfriendly.
"You...... Princess Ben originally wanted to be friends with you, but now I have dismissed this idea. Anger appeared on Chu Xueyao's face, and she glared at Ling Yun.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, if you are happy. Ling Yun didn't bother to take care of the princess's sick girl, so she turned around and left.
"This princess follows you to see what you have in mind. Chu Xueyao pestered Ling Yun and followed him.
There are a lot of inns in the Imperial Fire City, dozens of large and small, and it is a little difficult to find Tang Ruoxue and others. With the current situation, Ling Yun can only look for inns from inn to inn.
Ling Yun first went to the shop and sold the treasured beast skins and other valuable things he hunted and exchanged them for spars.
Wind Chime Inn, this is the branch of Ling Mansion in the Imperial Fire City Inn.
As soon as Ling Yun entered the inn, before he could ask about the innkeeper's situation, he was patted on the shoulder.
"Chen Zhuang!"
The person who patted Ling Yun on the shoulder was none other than Chen Zhuang, a student of Dragon and Tiger Academy.
Chen Zhuang hooked up with Ling Yun's shoulders and said to the shopkeeper as if he was acting: "Look, shopkeeper, we all said that we are friends of the third young master of your Ling Mansion! ”
The shopkeeper still opened his mouth and asked, "Third Young Master, are these people your friends?"
Ling Yun nodded to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper understood, and continued to do things. Then Ling Yun patted Chen Zhuang's chest quite unexpectedly, and quipped: "Okay! I know that I came to my Lingfu Inn to cheat and eat and drink." ”
Chen Zhuang laughed and said, "What do you mean by cheating and cheating! After we arrived in this Imperial Fire City, the other inns were overcrowded, and only the inn branch of your Ling Mansion stayed temporarily. ”
Chu Xueyao followed into the Wind Chimes Inn, and when she saw Ling Yun talking to a muscular man, she walked over to eavesdrop.
Ling Yun asked, "Is my classmate okay?"
Chen Zhuang nodded and replied, "Although we encountered some trouble on the way back, we were okay. ”
Ling Yun breathed a sigh of relief and whispered in Chen Zhuang's ear: "The Imperial Fire City will definitely be lost tomorrow, you go and ask them to pack up their things, and I will arrange for you to leave the Imperial Fire City at night tonight." ”
Chen Zhuang listened to Ling Yun's words, frowned, turned around and asked in a low voice: "How could the Fire City be lost, didn't the city lord also post a notice to recruit martial artists to resist the siege of ten thousand beasts." ”
Ling Yun's eyes paid attention to the people around him, and he spit out two words: "Star Beast!"
Star ...... Star Beast!"
Chen Zhuang's eyes widened, and his face became solemn and gloomy.
At this moment, the depressed feeling made Chen Zhuang unable to hear the noisy sounds around him.
If it is really as Ling Yun said, there will be the shadow of a star beast in the siege of ten thousand beasts. Not only will the city be lost, but it will even be hellish like it was in the past.
