Chapter 30: Ran Qiu
The chamber is located in a magnificent hall, towering majestically and majestic.
Different from the golden glazed tiles of the imperial city, the blue and black tiles at the top of this hall are more suitable for the identity of soldiers.
Solemn, solemn, iron-blooded......
There were three black-armored guards on the left and right sides of the entrance of the main hall, their bodies were straight, their breathing was steady, and the kind of murderous intent on their bodies made them not angry and arrogant.
The two people who led the way suddenly stopped, bowed to the guards at the door and said, "General Feng and General Wang ordered to bring Lin Xiu here." ”
One of the guards on the left nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the main hall, and after about twenty breaths, he turned back, he glanced at Lin Xiu, and then said without emotion: "Come with me!"
The moment he stepped into the main hall, Lin Xiu felt that the light suddenly dimmed, and this process from light to dark made people very uncomfortable. But what made him even more uncomfortable was the murderous aura that came to his face...... It was cold, gloomy, and seemed to have a touch of blood.
As Lin Xiu gradually got used to the darkness here, he also saw the scene in the main hall clearly.
It was completely different from the kind of council hall he had imagined in his mind...... The wide, flat space in front of it, and the various weapons that emitted a cold glow on the multiple weapon racks around the clearing, made this place look more like an indoor martial arts arena.
However, considering the situation that soldiers advocate force and respect martial arts, in addition to the initial accident, Lin Xiu gradually felt relieved in his heart.
Directly above the main hall is a large, dark chair, which seems to be the only chair in the entire hall. It's just that the moment he saw the chair, Lin Xiu frowned slightly.
He originally thought that it should be Wei Jinglong's chair, but at this time, there was a person sitting on that chair!
Although there was some darkness in the main hall, Lin Xiu could still see the person's appearance clearly, but it was just ...... He didn't have the slightest impression of the face.
Wei Jinglong once introduced him to the main generals of Liantian Tower at a banquet, but there was no person in front of him.
However, not knowing and not knowing does not mean that Lin Xiu can't guess his identity. Wei Jinglong once told him that there was a person in the Heavenly Tower who was second only to him in status.
General Hongyun, Ran Qiu.
Thinking that the only person who can sit on the only chair in this hall and let Wang Mang and Feng Lie stand on the left and right sides of the bottom with their heads down, it should be only this Hongyun General Ran Qiu.
In fact, the title of General of the Red Army is not very well-known in the rivers and lakes, and it can even be described in four words: unknown. Maybe it's because he was blinded by General Yunlong's dazzling, maybe because he's really a very low-key person, or maybe because of something else...... However, Lin Xiu was solemn the moment he guessed the identity of this person.
Wei Jinglong had mentioned this name to Lin Xiu, although it was only mentioned in a word at the time and did not talk about it in detail, but Lin Xiu still would not forget the slightly frowning brow and the complicated look in Wei Jinglong's eyes when he mentioned this person at that time.
There are many meanings to frown, whether it is displeasure, dissatisfaction, or worry...... But no matter which one it is, with Wei Jinglong's status, he can still tolerate this person continuing to work under him, which is an extremely incredible thing in itself.
At this moment, the guard who led Lin Xiu here suddenly stretched out a hand and stopped in front of Lin Xiu, and the sound of "bang-la-la" made by the heavy black armor on his body was particularly harsh in this slightly empty hall.
He clenched his fists suddenly, knelt down on one knee amid the dull sound of armor colliding, and said respectfully, "General Yu, Lin Xiu brings it." ”
General Hong Yun waved his hand slightly, the guards saluted again, and hurriedly retreated and left, and after a while, a "creaking" sound sounded, followed by a loud "bang".
The door of the temple was shut!!
The light in the main hall became more and more dim, and Lin Xiu's brows furrowed even tighter. There were many people in the hall, in addition to Ran Qiu, Wang Mang and Feng Lie, there were more than a dozen figures in heavy armor standing like iron towers around the martial arts arena.
It's just that no one is talking!
The dull silence in the hall made the atmosphere extremely oppressive.
Lin Xiu gradually calmed down, looking at everything around him indifferently, and didn't seem to have any nervousness.
"Hehehe~~~"
A chuckle suddenly sounded above the main hall, but the abrupt sound sounded chilling in this gloomy environment.
"You are Lin Xiu?"
Ran Qiu finally spoke, his voice sounding dull and stiff, I don't know if it was because of himself or because he rarely communicated with people.
Lin Xiu bowed slightly and replied, "General, I am Lin Xiu!"
Ran Qiu changed to a position that seemed more comfortable, almost half-lying on the wide chair, and then asked, "You saved ...... The life of the commander-in-chief, and the escort of thousands of miles here? Is this true?"
Lin Xiu's face remained unchanged, and he said in a flat tone: "Of course...... Not really. ”
"Oh?"
Ran Qiu sighed lightly, but no longer spoke, Lin Xiu continued:
"In fact, it was General Yunlong who saved my life...... As for the thousands of miles escort...... I am a junior in the next generation, how can I be able to escort the world-famous General Yunlong. But it was the general, who saw that I was seriously wounded and dying, and felt pity for me, and could not bear to leave me in the wilderness, so he brought me here to recuperate, and in a few days I was about to leave after my wounds were all gone. ”
Lin Xiu's words fell, and Ran Qiu was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly he laughed, and the laughter shook the hall lightly, and even the dust on the top of the hall fell.
This huge voice made Lin Xiu's face pale and his eyes were horrified.
This Ran's cultivation is so terrifying!!
Ran Qiu laughed for a while before he stopped laughing, but there was still an irrepressible smile between his words: "Pity? You said he was pity, hahaha, this is simply the funniest joke I've ever heard in my life!"
Lin Xiu was indifferent, his face remained unchanged, he just quietly looked at the ground not far in front of him.
Qiu Fei sat up straight suddenly, leaned forward slightly, and looked at Lin Xiu below condescendingly. The latter suddenly felt the atmosphere around him condense, as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders, and his legs trembled, and he couldn't help but want to kneel.
Lin Xiu clenched his teeth suddenly, his fists clenched, and the true yuan of his whole body exploded in full force.
The clothes on his body suddenly swayed violently, making a hunting sound, and the black hair on his head suddenly broke free from the shackles of the headband, crisscrossing the air, up and down.
He raised his head, and the stars shone in his eyes, and even the surface of his body was filled with a layer of brilliance......
Under the full explosion of the cultivation of the Returning Star Realm, he finally felt a lot less pressure on his body, and although his legs were still heavy, he was already able to maintain his upright position and hold his head high.
The eyes of the generals below showed a look of amazement, after all, it was really extremely rare to return to the Star Realm at such a young age.
Even Ran Qiu, who was sitting directly above the main hall, had a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. But suddenly, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The next moment, he abruptly withdrew the momentum that was oppressing Lin Xiu......
Lin Xian was fighting with all his might, and suddenly the pressure on his body subsided sharply...... He didn't have time to retract his strength at all, and the true yuan in his body burst out instantly......
"Poof~"
A mouthful of blood gushed out without warning, and the skin on his body suddenly turned red...... His body shook slightly, and he hurriedly suppressed the true yuan of the riot with all his might, but just after suppressing the riot, the pressure that disappeared swept in again...... And the momentum is far more violent than just now.
"Bang"
This time, Lin Xiu had no way to fight at all, his knees slammed on the ground, his hands supported the ground, and the ground under him immediately bloomed a dazzling bright red.
"General!"
"General!"
Wang Mang and Feng Lie shouted in unison, and there was undisguised dissatisfaction in their tones.
Ran Qiu retracted the momentum on his body and said lightly, "What's the matter?"
Although he was trying to suppress it, Wang Mang's tone was still obviously angry: "General, Lin Xiu is the commander's honored guest, but before he retreated, he specifically instructed me to treat him well, is it inappropriate for you to do this?"
A seemingly kind smile appeared on Ran Qiu's face, then he looked at Feng Lie and said softly, "Really?"
Seeing the smile on the other party's face, a strong fear rose in Feng Lie's eyes, but he still said in a deep voice: "General, the boss really told him to take care of Lin Shaoxia!"
"That's it!" Ran Qian nodded slightly and said softly, but then his face suddenly sank, and he suddenly looked at Wang Mang and Feng Lie, and shouted in a low voice: "Why don't I know?"
Wang Mang and Feng Lie's faces changed slightly, and the former said in a deep voice: "When the boss instructed you, you were not there, general. ”
Ran Qiu suddenly laughed, the smile was extremely weird, he lay back on the wide chair, and said softly: "It turns out that I am not here, then let me ask you, do you two have a commander's edict?"
Feng Lie and Wang Mang's faces froze, and then the anger in their eyes rose.
Ran Qiu said again: "That's gone? Hmph, you have been in the army for many years, don't you know the rules of the army? Without the handsome edict and the handsome seal, do you think I will believe what you say." ”
Wang Mang narrowed his eyes, his momentum rose, and he said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is not a march to fight, what kind of handsome seal and handsome edict do you want, general, are you making a fuss?"
Ran Qiu's gaze also became dangerous, staring at Wang Mang, a cold smile lifted from the corner of his mouth, and he said in a deep voice: "Are you going to rebel?"
Wang Mang's momentum stagnated, and he was about to speak, but he was pulled by the wind.
Feng Lie shook his head slightly, then clenched his fists to Ran Qiu, and said in a deep voice: "The general misunderstood, we don't mean to be disobedient, we just want to express the boss's advice clearly." In case the general makes a wrong judgment and has a misunderstanding with the general after the commander leaves the customs in the future. ”
Ran Qiu suddenly narrowed his eyes, his momentum became more and more dangerous, and he said in a deep voice:
"You're threatening me with the manager?"
Feng Lie's face remained unchanged, and he continued: "The general has misunderstood, and we have no intention of doing so. The commander is in retreat, the general position here is the highest, and as a soldier, I know the rules. ”
Ran Qiu snorted coldly, his face softened slightly, and he said coldly:
"You think I'm deliberately making things difficult for this guy and not giving the coach face? Anyway, I'll tell you the reason today, and some people in the province are not convinced."
Saying this, he glanced at Lin Xiu slightly, and chuckled:
His Majesty sent someone to ask the commander to go to the Imperial City to discuss matters, and he again unsurprisingly refused. However, the messenger who came brought a message, but it was bad news."
Hearing this, Lin Xiu slowly frowned
