Zhang Anling sat in his small courtyard, looking at the dawn in the distance, shining on the ancient houses, on the streets, on the trees, and finally falling into the courtyard and shining on himself.

He couldn't remember how many times he had bathed in the morning light, dispelling the cold of the night from his body and awakening his body with the ancient city.

He has been in charge of the city of no return for thirty-two years.

From captain to major, he has never been promoted since then, not because the relationship has not been done well, but because he has done well, he has been able to stay here.

Every grass and tree, every brick and tile in the city of no return, he even has feelings.

How many thirty-two years can there be in life?

He dedicated the most precious time of his life to this place, or rather, he nourished himself for thirty-two years with the fat and ointment of the people here.

It's not that Zhang Anling doesn't want to be motivated, but he has long seen through the essence of this world, and strength is the root of everything.

He has no background, and he only has the power of the Peerless Beginner Rank, and the consequence of forcibly squeezing him up may be a catastrophe.

It's better to be comfortable, stay in the city of no return honestly, and borrow the resources here to improve yourself.

Taoguang is obscure, waiting for a blockbuster and soaring into the sky.

But the reality is still a bit cruel.

It seems that people are born and are classified as three, six, nine and so on, not only the superficial social hierarchy and family wealth background, but also the more deadly, that is, the cultivation talent.

No matter how hard he tried, he could only stay in the Peerless Triple, and he could never break through this low-level shackle.

He is unwilling, he doesn't want to succumb to fate, even if he takes risks, even if he falls into the darkness, he has to fight for a chance to soar into the sky in the cracks of fate.

"My life is up to me. He said to himself.

Early this morning, for some reason, he especially wanted to bask in the sun, missing the morning light of this ancient city, the warm feeling shining on his body.

A few hours later, various military newspapers were put into his hands.

And Zhang Wei, who he was waiting for, never came back.

"That Burke dog, has he finally torn his face?"

Zhang Anling's face was a little ugly, but he quickly returned to normal, quietly looking at the sky in the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

He had expected this moment, and when it finally came, his heart was very calm.

Like him, Burke is also a poor worm who is not willing to accept fate, unwilling to stay in a resource-scarce place like the Far North of the Hidden Continent, he has always wanted to return to the continent of the dark clan, but because he has no strength, no background, and no chance, he can only stay here to cultivate obscurity, and wait for their respective opportunities with Zhang Anling.

"Looks like you've waited for your chance. ”

Zhang Anling muttered to himself, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a wry smile, Burke's opportunity was a huge crisis for him.

He suddenly spoke: "The Dark Clan is attacking the city on a large scale, and the Brigadier Colonel is not in the mansion or fortress to command the defense, how can you have the heart to come to me?"

I don't know when there was a figure in the courtyard, it was Luo Qingwen, standing with a sword in both hands, she found that Zhang Anling seemed to be a little different from the past, and said lightly: "This is exactly what I want to ask Lord Anling, at this moment, how can adults still have the heart to bask in the sun?"

Zhang Anling smiled lightly and turned around: "The brigadier colonel came to the city and didn't return to the city, he was supposed to take over the military affairs for me, and I am equivalent to an idle post now, so I naturally have the mind and time to bask in the sun." ”

Luo Qingwen nodded and said: "Lord Anling is the elder of the city who does not return, and the actual person in charge, Qingwen still has a lot of things that need the assistance of adults." ”

Zhang Anling said: "I have feelings for the city of no return, as long as I can help, I will do my best." ”

"Good. ”

Luo Qingwen's eyes became sharper, "Recently, there has been a series of incidents, involving corruption, embezzlement of military salaries, collusion with the Dark Descendants, Qingwen is young and immature, I don't know what to do, please help me." ”

Zhang Anling's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled faintly: "How does the quasi-colonel want me to help you?"

Luo Qingwen took out a thick silver-gray chain, which was engraved with the Force circuit, which was mixed with a large number of sun stones, forming patches of spots, which were made by the Empire and specially used to suppress and bind the Force messengers.

She still kept the chains in front of Zhang Anling, "The adults tied themselves up, which is the greatest help to me." ”

Zhang Anling's face was ugly and said: "Is it really good for the brigadier colonel to treat me like this? According to the military regulations of the imperial law, if you want to arrest a colonel-level officer, you must at least have an arrest warrant from the military department, and please show it to the brigadier colonel." ”

Luo Qingwen took out a silver medal, shook it in front of Zhang Anling, and said lightly: "The master of the family is here, seeing this edict is like seeing the head of the family." I tie you up now, not with national law and military rules, but with Zhang's family rules. If you see that someone does not obey the order, it will be regarded as a betrayal of the family, and the whole family should be punished. ”

"Haha, what a house rule!"

Zhang Anling laughed angrily and asked, "Luo Qingwen, have I treated you badly in the past few days when you have not returned to the city?"

Luo Qingwen frowned and said, "No." ”

Zhang Anling said again: "Then do I have a grudge with you?"

Luo Qingwen said: "No, I kidnap you, it does not involve personal grievances, it only involves the law and military discipline, as well as the interests and safety of the civilians of the entire city of no return." ”

"Ha, haha, joke!"

Zhang Anling laughed angrily: "With me, it will not be safe if I don't return to the city? Are you blind, Lao Tzu has been in the city for 32 years, and how many things have happened? On the contrary, it is precisely because I am here that I can enjoy peace for decades without returning to the city. As for the corruption and corruption you said, it is even more of a joke, do you think that all this money has been obtained by me Zhang Anling alone?"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became: "The villa you live in and the delicacies you eat fall from the sky?

"If you want to arrest me, you can, arrest all the disciples of the Zhang family who have come to the City of No Return in the past thirty-two years, otherwise I won't accept it!"

"Let me tell you again, most of the profits from my Zhang Anling's business have been eaten up by the above, and the military salary and equipment allocated each time are actually less than half of the approved ones, hehe, where did these benefits go, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?"

"If you want to arrest me, you can, start with the Zhang family's senate!"

Luo Qingwen's face turned blue and white when she heard this, she knew that what Zhang Anling said was true, he could sit in the city of no return for thirty-two years without incident, and the interests behind it were not something she could imagine, if she really wanted to investigate all the way, the head of the family might not be able to protect himself.

But at this moment, the city of no return is in danger, she remembered the nine words Cao Song said, if Zhang Anling is not killed, how can the army be disciplined, the program should be revitalized, the hearts of the people should be gathered, and how could the city of no return be kept!

She immediately made a decision and shouted: "If you are not convinced, you can go to Qingyang City to talk about it, now I only use the hand of the master of the family to detain you, if you dare to resist, it will be regarded as a betrayal!"

Zhang Anling's face sank, and he said coldly: "Since you don't know what to do, you don't know right from wrong, then don't blame me for being rude!"

With a flick of his right hand, he grabbed Luo Qingwen directly.

A ray of light emerged from his arm, turning into a Force Circuit pattern in the air, forming an energy field like a light curtain, covering Luo Qingwen's body.

"Hmph, if you dare to do it to me, you will take the initiative against your family. Even if everything you said before is true, you can't escape the crime of treason now. ”

Luo Qingwen sneered and stepped back.

"Damn slut! I'll kill you today, and then leave the dark land, when the sky and the earth are big, even the Zhang family can do anything to me!"

Zhang Anling's face was full of fierceness, he took out two pistols and shot at Luo Qingwen indiscriminately.

"Bang bang bang!"

Luo Qingwen instantly drew her sword and swung it forward, immediately transforming her sword and blocking all those bullets.

"Damn it!"

She shouted loudly, pinched the sword trick in her hand, and countless cold lights erupted from the sword, slashing out a moon shadow and slashing forward.

"Do you think you can deceive people too much because you are so talented?"

Zhang Anling jumped up and kicked the moon slash, scattering it, and then a barrage of bullets hit.

These bullets are specially processed and have circuits engraved with the Dark Force that can cause massive damage to the Light Force.

Luo Qingwen's sword gang was hit by these bullets, and it rippled one after another, and it was quickly shattered.

She didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly dodged, Zhang Anling was a triple of the Peerless Realm, although she had nine Force Circuits, but as long as she was a little careless, she might be lost here.

"Aren't you going to punish me? Come on, come and arrest me!"

Zhang Anling instantly changed the magazine, and it was another series of shots.

Luo Qingwen immediately figured out the firing frequency of the two pistols, and ran around the courtyard, Gu Ya swayed up and down with his figure, and the sword light on it gradually surged.

"Crescent Assault!"

At the moment when the two guns finished firing a row of bullets, Luo Qingwen's figure flickered, and the sword shape broke through the air and rushed forward.

The two guns in Zhang Anling's hands spun around, and they immediately became one, and the trigger was pulled suddenly, and two more bullets were shot, spreading out with a "bang" in the air, forming a force field, and the sword slammed together.

Luo Qingwen swung her sword and split the force field, and then the sword turned and plunged into the earth.

"Scorching sword!"

A marvelous sword can spread.

Zhang Anling's body froze, and he was actually absorbed by this sword power, as if there were countless invisible sword threads pulling him, and leaned towards Luo Qingwen's side little by little.

"It's ......"

Zhang Anling's face changed drastically, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Around Luo Qingwen's body, there was a faint layer of light, like smoke and fog, but it was an extremely strong defense.

It's hard to break through this defense with a single move.

And under the attraction of this sword field, he has already entered the range of the opponent's killing.

At this moment, Luo Qingwen's eyes were cold, and she shouted: "Crescent Moon Assault!" Another battle skill slashed over.

"Damn it!"

Zhang Anling hurriedly discarded his two guns, clasped his hands together, and shouted, "Barrier!" The surging force surged out from his body, forming a circular absolute defense.

"Boom!"

Gu Ya slashed at the barrier, bursting out a large area of energy light.

Luo Qingwen's body shook, but instead of retreating, she stabbed forward with her sword and inserted it into the barrier little by little.

Zhang Anling's face changed greatly, staring at the sword and shockingly: "What kind of sword is this?!"
