Chapter 264: The Road Meets the Holy Thunder Ride
"It's noon. Walking alone, looking up at the sky, Ling Qingyun, who confirmed the time, sighed with emotion, he had been hundreds of miles away from home.
There was not much goodbye, there was no grand send-off, just a reminder from his parents and brother and he went on the road alone, including other friends who didn't know anything about it, after all, it was better to travel in secret, there was no need to make a big fuss, and his friends who had a good relationship with him only knew that Ling Qingyun would travel in the near future, but the specific time was unknown.
At this time, Ling Qingyun's outfit was also different from that in the city, the not luxurious Tsing Yi just matched the identity of the traveler, the scabbard on his waist was simple and exuded a faint threat, in addition, he carried behind him, the animal skin bag that was not too big or small, and even the hat worn on the top of his head, this was the most common attire of martial artists who walked the continent, neither conspicuous nor too humble, in the eyes of others, he was an ordinary traveler in the Stone Spirit Realm, of course, there was also the possibility of a low-key master, but the probability was not large.
Of course, traveling in this way is to be low-key, although Ling Qingyun is confident that he can solve most troubles with his own strength, but it is naturally better to be cautious when walking outside, and the bulging bags are filled with dry food, coils, pills, spirit stones and most other necessities, and only a very few are placed in the space bracelet that he has just obtained - although this space bracelet can only be regarded as the lowest level of all space artifacts, it is not a problem to fill the luggage, but it is too conspicuous to go out without carrying a bag, and it is easy to be suspected of having space artifacts, which is a big trouble.
He did not ride a horse, as a strong man with a golden body, his feet are still above a thousand miles of horses, and the journey to travel the world often has to trek through mountains and rivers, and even go deep into all kinds of dangerous places, naturally it is impossible to always carry horses, and only those who are strong enough to adapt to various environments, or real divine horses have the ability to walk the world with their masters.
After walking all morning, Ling Qingyun, who was hurrying all the way to the west, was already approaching the border of Tingzhou, and just as he was about to cross the border in one go, the ground trembled slightly, like a muffled thunder rumbling sound from a distance, it was the sound of horses' hooves.
Ling Qingyun stopped, looking at the yellow sand rolling in the distance, a cavalry roared in, this cavalry numbered less than a hundred, but the armor was distinct, all wearing dark blue battle armor, cavalry swords and spears shone cold, what was surprising was that the mount of this cavalry was also wearing dark blue armor, which was an armored cavalry armed to the teeth.
"At least it's also the late stage of a thousand forgings?" After a moment's feeling, a trace of surprise flashed in Ling Qingyun's eyes, this kind of strength and equipment was enough to make this cavalry the most elite armed force in Tingzhou—— Excluding the final guards of the three major forces, he noticed that the equipment of this cavalry was even stronger than it looked, the weapons contained terrifying energy, as if they contained Taoguang Sword and other soldiers, and the dark blue armor was also engraved with inconspicuous runes, and the state of these soldiers was also extraordinary, their movements were uniform, and even their breaths were blended with each other, as if the whole army was one, which was shocking.
"This kind of elite is not a problem to crush the battle formation of a thousand armor soldiers head-on!" Ling Qingyun was secretly frightened, this was the elite of the elite, and the normal heavy cavalry was just a local chicken and tile dog compared to it, and what worried him even more was the belonging of this cavalry - this place is hundreds of miles west of Lingyue City, and the northwest of the entire Tingzhou is the territory of Shengtingzhuang.
Obviously, except for the ruler of this region, no one has the ability to form such an elite and gallop in broad daylight with this courage, and the unheard-of elite force under the command of Saint Ting Zhuang really worried Ling Qingyun, his eyes flashed slightly, and he bowed his head slightly to prevent people from seeing the expression under the hat, waiting for the cavalry to pass - not much different from the response of ordinary travelers.
Unexpectedly, with the sound of "hooting", the cavalry stopped in a uniform manner a few zhang away from Ling Qingyun, and for a moment the dust was flying, and the spear and sword pointed forward, revealing a terrifying Jin Ge killing aura, and the target of this murderous aura was Ling Qingyun.
Ling Qingyun turned sideways slightly, looking at the only knight wearing gold armor at the forefront of the cavalry: "I don't know what this general is looking for me?"
is neither humble nor arrogant, but also respectful, which actually violates the principle of keeping a low profile, but Ling Qingyun is even more unwilling to violate his own principles and flatter the generals of the hostile camp in order to disguise his identity.
The golden-armored rider took off his helmet, revealing a young and handsome face, which even made Ling Qingyun feel a little familiar, and he smiled at Ling Qingyun: "In Xia Mushao, there is no malice, but seeing that Your Excellency is quite like an old man, I can't help but want to recognize him, can Your Excellency take off the hat and let me take a look?"
Hearing this, Ling Qingyun seemed to hesitate for a while, and finally bowed his head slightly, and let out a voice that didn't look like a fifteen-year-old boy: "Okay." ”
The hat was taken off, revealing a black hair, and a slightly dark, bearded young face, Ling Qingyun looked at the young man in golden armor with a faint smile, like a dissolute young knight, he saw the young man's eyes flashing and flashing, and finally nodded lightly: "It seems that I have made a mistake, but Your Excellency is really a little similar to my old man, I want to come and have a similar temperament to that old man, I don't know if Your Excellency is interested in coming to Shengting Village as a guest, let's get together to drink, and make friends?"
"The shepherd's good intentions are understood. Ling Qingyun chuckled, with a kind of uninhibitedness: "It's just that I'm on the next important matter, and I really can't drink and have fun with the shepherd." ”
"Since this is the case, it is natural to focus on your important affairs, and it is not easy to force it in the future. Mu Shao nodded, and smiled at Ling Qingyun: "You also need to train your subordinates, so you can say goodbye first!"
After that, Mu Shao put on his helmet and led the cavalry to gallop away, the movements of the entire cavalry were uniform, all the way in an orderly manner, and there was no sound, until more than ten miles away, an adjutant with a higher status than the other cavalry spoke: "Childe, why did you ...... with that traveler before?"
"He's not an ordinary person. Mu Shao spoke, his voice calm and majestic, completely different from the previous enthusiasm: "He is likely to be Ling Yuecheng'...... Alas, it's just that our men and horses are not opponents, otherwise even if we fight for our lives, we should cut off Ling Yuecheng's arm!"
"Do you want to transfer troops or ask a strong man to help?" the adjutant's expression changed when he heard this, and he said solemnly.
"Yes, of course, but it's probably too late!" Mu Shao looked back at the previous avenue: "It seems that this kind of character is very shrewd, and since he has already startled the snake, it is too difficult to catch it!"
......
Shuttling quickly through the woods, Ling Qingyun's expression was as serious as Mu Shao at this time.
"Mu Shao? It's really undisguised, he can lead the elite of a hundred cavalry alone, I'm afraid it's just a certain brother of Mu Feiyu, right? Maybe he has already taken over the position of the young master?" Ling Qingyun, who was moving fast, muttered to himself, he was naturally not naïve enough to think that the other party really recognized himself as an old man, but now he saw people thoroughly, even if the other party tried his best to cover it up, he still felt a faint hostility.
He didn't think that his makeup had been hidden from the other party, and he wanted to be aware of his specialness at the first time, and he was suspicious, so it was impossible to let it go, but he gave up after comparing the difference in strength- The news of Ling Qingyun's achievement of the Golden Body Realm has already spread, even if the Holy Thunder Village does not know that Ling Qingyun can fight Linghua, at least he will consider him as the peak combat power of the Golden Body, although these hundred horsemen are elite, but there are not many strong people, it is really reluctant to fight against such a strong person, the biggest possibility is that Ling Qingyun was killed more than half of the siege or even the whole army was wiped out, Mu Shao, who is the bottom of the Holy Thunder Village, naturally will not joke with his life.
"It's a character. Ling Qingyun said to himself, he already felt that Mu Shao's strength and age were similar to Mu Feiyu, and he might be a little less scheming, but his previous adaptability was not bad, which made him murderous, but he was afraid that Mu Shao would also feel it, so he left in a hurry.
In the end, Ling Qingyun still didn't make a move, and it was completely possible to kill Mu Shao with his strength, but this meant that Ling Yuecheng and Shengtingzhuang completely tore their faces, and it was considered that Ling Qingyun took the initiative to attack, and Yu Daoyi fell behind, and doing this kind of fact before the troubled times was harmful and not beneficial, and it was not in line with his plan to travel the world in a low-key manner, he stopped, and broke away from the avenue and escaped into the mountains and forests - the heart of defense is indispensable, even if he is about to leave Tingzhou, what if he recruits a Linghua powerhouse? Linghua can still deal with it in the early stage, and Linghua can retreat in the middle stage, but if it is in the late stage of Linghua...... Then you have to ask for a lot of blessings.
As expected, in the process of walking through the mountains and forests, Ling Qingyun saw the cavalry galloping by, as if searching for something, but it was a pity that with Ling Qingyun's current strength, ordinary soldiers really couldn't find any clues, he crossed the border of Tingzhou in a remote place without danger, so far the sea and the sky are allowed to fly, and it is impossible for Shengtingzhuang to search for the dead sheep and stretch out his hand so far.
After crossing the border and traveling more than 100 miles, the sun was slanting in the west, and it was already dusk, Ling Qingyun had no intention of traveling day and night for the time being, so he settled in the villages he encountered along the way, only a piece of broken silver, and accommodation and dinner were not a problem.
"The ancient heroes only need to throw a piece of broken silver, which is enough to live in a first-class room and enjoy a feast, and I am also a piece of broken silver, and the treatment is a lot worse. Ling Qingyun, who was sitting outside the country house and looking at the rolling mountains, thought to himself, a little smile appeared on his face, he naturally knew that this was a self-deprecating idea, due to the development of alchemy and alchemy, the value of gold and silver was far from comparable to that in ancient times, in ancient times, one or two pieces of silver were worth a thousand or even two thousand yuan, but now it is only worth a hundred yuan, and it is more than enough to stay in the village, and it is not practical to live in a first-class room and eat a sumptuous banquet.
Of course, for Ling Qingyun, the strongest Tianjiao who often harvests tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of gold opportunities, even a thousand catties of silver are only a small amount, and the real value in the package is not broken silver and gold ingots, but silver tickets and gems and jades worth thousands of gold, these are hard currencies, and there are more precious ones, which are stored in the space bracelet.
"Wild vegetable soup is also a rare flavor. Ling Qingyun smiled when he saw the dinner, after all, it was only a village, even if the host tried his best to prepare for it, it was only coarse tea and light rice, but this was exactly the same as Ling Qingyun's taste, what he ate in the City Lord's Mansion and Academy was not only the delicacies of the mountains and seas but also the carefully selected high-quality food, and the last was also the best rice, specially cultivated rare beef and mutton, and the farmhouse dishes were a little rougher, but they brought a completely different experience.
Drinking wild vegetable soup, nibbling on the head of the nest, and then tasting the unknown noodles made by the owner's own home, Ling Qingyun, who bathed in the cold breeze of the New Year and looked at the mountains, had an unusual feeling.
Here, it's Nongzhou.
