Lishan City is an ancient city, and Xiao Qingfeng had such a recognition at first sight.

The bluestone-piled city wall has turned white, and there are even a lot of defects on the battlements; the heavy iron gate has a patina, which looks colorful in the sunlight; the ancient moat is no longer clear, and there is a piece of ink; the gilded Lishan City on the head of the city is no longer visible.

This scene has definitely never appeared in Xiao Qingfeng's mind. As a big city in the eastern part of the country, as a bridgehead for the march into Cao State, how could it be like this?

"Hahaha!" Seeing Xiao Qingfeng's expression, Zhao Ruyun laughed, "You don't think this is Lishan City, right?"

Xiao Qingfeng immediately reacted, how could this picture be Lishan City. It seems that it should be an ancient city, and it is likely to be the former site of Lishan Castle.

Sure enough, Liu Ruyan explained Xiao Qingfeng's confusion and said: "This section is the former site of Lishan City. The current Lishan Castle has been relocated. ”

"Shouldn't we go to the Cannibal River, what are we going to do in Lishan City?" Xiao Qingfeng asked, his hand moving dissatisfied, and then turned the horse's head around the old site.

Liu Ruyan explained: "There is a family of cultivators in Lishan City, known as the Lishan Li family. Just after the incident of the Lishan River River God, the senior of Yuanyang Shangzong Jindan ordered the Li family to pay close attention to the movements of the Cannibal River, and if there was any abnormal situation, they would report it to Qiulan Valley. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, "What kind of character in this Li family actually let Jin Dan's seniors order directly?"

Under normal circumstances, it should be the Jindan seniors who ordered it to Qiulan Valley, and then Qiulan Valley found a cultivator family. It's just that this time it turned out to be the Jindan seniors who directly ordered the cultivation family, if it wasn't for the fame of this cultivation family, then it must be that this family has a master, or this family has a lot of connections with the Jindan seniors.

"The ancestor of the Li family was a disciple of Yuanyang Shangzong before his death. Later, he felt that he could not break through his cultivation, so he came to Lishan City to marry a wife and have children, and passed down the lineage of the Li family in Lishan, which is also somewhat related to Yuanyang Shangzong. Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan added, "By the way, this Lishan Mountain God is the ancestor of the Li family." The lord of Lishan City is the head of the Li family. ”

"Oh, so the entire Lishan and Lishan City are their Li family?"

Xiao Qingfeng's eyes flashed slightly, the disciples of Yuanyang Sect naturally also have families, and cultivation is not to cut off the seven emotions and six desires. There are some small towns around Yuanyang Mountain, all of which are relatives of the disciples of the Yuanyang Sect. After tens of thousands of years of development and reproduction, the number of people is quite large. It is rare for a mountain god like Lishan to go out to marry a wife and have children.

"Of course, the Li family is not only the overlord of the earth in Lishan City, even if the entire Wei Kingdom and Cao Kingdom are famous. In fact, the Imperial Family of the Patriotic Monarchy has given Lishan Castle to the Li family, and this city is very independent. And the most famous thing about the Li family is not these, but the young master of the Li family, Li Tianxing, who broke into the Qi Refining Realm at the age of only twenty-two, and now he is not yet thirty years old and is already in the middle of the Qi Refining Realm. ”

Zhao Ruyun interjected, and there was inevitably some provocation between her words.

Xiao Qingfeng turned his head away and pretended not to see it, is it very powerful in the middle stage of qi refining before he is thirty? Thinking of this, Xiao Qingfeng smiled, he really stayed with them for a long time, and his thinking had changed a little, and he would think about these boring things.

Riding around the ruins of the old city, a tall and majestic ancient city looms in view. This is the real Lishan City, the bridgehead for the march into Cao State. The closer you get, the more spectacular it feels.

The thick and tall cyan city wall has some moss in the passage of time, but the majestic and magnificent that stands is like an angry-eyed King Kong, looking majestically to the east. At the head of the city are elite soldiers dressed in iron armor and holding halberds, with five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry. Behind that, there were several teams of elite soldiers in the same iron armor patrolling back and forth.

The gate is unusually wide enough to accommodate several carriages at the same time. On it is written with the ancient seal of 'Lishan City' three big characters, domineering and mighty.

Outside the city walls, there is a moat as wide as a few feet, and the suspension bridge on it is connected by a large black iron chain, which is full of power at first sight.

With the Liu Ruyan sisters all the way forward. Passing through the city walls, the situation inside the city was different. The wide street is crowded with people, and all kinds of cries are endless. Life is full of variety, nothing more than that.

Xiao Qingfeng and they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The Castle Lord's Mansion is the well-deserved center of Lishan Castle, with a majestic building and a wide area.

Outside the mansion gate, Zhao Ruyun turned over and dismounted, and went to knock on the door. Xiao Qingfeng and Liu Ruyan also dismounted and waited.

"Crunch!"

The door of the mansion opened, and a man in his forties walked out, looked at Zhao Ruyun and asked, "Is there anything wrong with the girl?"

"Is your son-in-law here? Qiulan Gu Liu Ruyan and Zhao Ruyun asked to meet. At this time, Zhao Ruyun had no arrogance, and her speech was very ladylike, and her performance simply made Xiao Qingfeng stunned, it turned out that the girl who had always liked to go straight and had a somewhat irritable temper also had this side.

"It turned out that the fairy of Qiulan Valley came. The son has ordered, and after the fairy comes, he will go directly to the house, please come with the old slave. Hearing Zhao Ruyun's words, the man immediately said happily and led the way in front.

Xiao Qingfeng followed in, passed through many corridors, and finally came to the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, there were five people seated in the main hall. Sitting above was a handsome man of twenty-seven or eighteen, dressed in a white robe, holding an iron fan, chic and graceful, but with a heavy face and sadness. I think it should be the young city lord of Lishan City, the young master of the Li family in Lishan, and Li Tianxing, who is quite famous in Wei and Cao.

Below him sat four men on either side, all of whom were quite young, and must have been under thirty years of age.

One was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe, wearing a child's costume, his face was proud, and he didn't know which noble son he was; one was dressed in the rivers and lakes, and seemed to like walking the rivers and lakes like Zhao Ruyun; another was dressed as a scholar, and he was also holding a folding fan, gentle and polite; and the last one was wearing a cyan tight Taoist robe and carrying a long sword, which was somewhat similar to Xiao Qingfeng's dress.

"Fairy Liu, Fairy Zhao, Li has never been far away, and I hope to forgive my sins. Seeing Sister Liu Ruyan enter the door, Li Tianxing's heavy face was overjoyed, and he took the lead in getting up and making amends.

"I've seen Fairy Liu, Fairy Zhao. The other four also stood up and gave birth, and said.

"Li Gongzi is polite. Liu Ruyan greeted Li Tianxing, and then returned the salute to everyone: "I've seen you." ”

"Fairy, who is this brother?"

Li Tianxing's words also led everyone's eyes to Xiao Qingfeng's body. Seeing Xiao Qingfeng's dress, several people looked at the person who was somewhat similar to Xiao Qingfeng's dress at the same time, with a look of inquiry.

"Don't look at Xiaodao, Xiaodao doesn't know this brother. The man shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.

"This is Xiao Gongzi, our sisters happened to meet in Zhiling County, so they walked all the way. Liu Ruyan introduced.

"In Xia Li Tianxing, I saw Brother Xiao. Hearing Liu Ruyan say this, Li Tianxing hugged Xiao Qingfeng with a smile on his face.

"In Xia Xiao Qingfeng, I have seen Li Gongzi. Xiao Qing returned the gift.

"In Xia Weijun, I have seen Brother Xiao. The man in a fine dress said.

"In Xia Jingnan, I saw Brother Xiao. "The rivers and lakes dress up that humanity.

"In Xia Cao Quyang, I have seen Brother Xiao. "The scholar is dressed humanely.

"Xiaodao Zhenfan, I've seen Brother Dao. "The last man in a robe.

"Xiao has seen you. Xiao Qing returned the salute, and his eyes stayed on Zhenfan for a moment.

After greeting each other for a while, after Xiao Qingfeng and the three of them were seated, Liu Ruyan took the lead and said: "Young Master Li, the little girl got the news of the sect, and there are water monsters in the man-eating river, I don't know what the specific situation is?"

"It turns out that there are water monsters at work, no wonder the Li Brotherhood invited us to come. It's just that we asked before, Brother Li didn't say whether he was alive or dead, this time Fairy Liu asked, Brother Li won't stop talking, right?" Before Li Tianxing could answer, Jing Nan spoke, looking at Li Tianxing's eyes a little teasing, revealing a look that I understand.

Li Tianxing was in no mood to pay attention, stood up, and said solemnly: "Not bad." Li invited you to come, just to ask you to help Fairy Liu and Li to get rid of the water monster together. ”

"Brother Lao Li will explain the details. Closing the folding fan in his hand, Cao Quyang said.

"That's exactly how it should be!" Li Tianxing nodded, his face becoming solemn, "The Li family has been monitoring the man-eating river monster for generations. Monster danger occurs almost once every thirty years. But this time is different from the past, it was a water monster in the past, but this time it is two Ahuizotls. ”

"Ahuizotl?" exclaimed.

"Yes! Ahuizotl. Li Tianxing's face was heavy and sad, "Ahuizotl is not strong on land, but it is infinitely powerful in the water, and it should not be underestimated. Three months ago, Ahuizotl made a monster, and my father took his second uncle to kill the monster with a sword. Originally, one Ahuizotl had been injured, but my father did not know that there were two Ahuizotls, and carelessly, the second uncle was killed, and my father was also seriously injured. ”

"City Lord Li is injured?"

This news shocked everyone. Except for Xiao Qingfeng, who didn't understand the situation, everyone else knew that Li Tianxing's father was a master at the peak of qi refining, and his swordsmanship was extremely exquisite. Among the Cao Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom, except for the Zhuji Elder and the Jindan Ancestor of Qiulan Valley, they are already the top masters.

"Since the water monster is so strong, what does Li Gongzi want to do?"

Liu Ruyan frowned and asked. She didn't expect that things would be so tricky, even the city lord of Li was injured, and they couldn't please a few of them if they were afraid.

"Ahuizotl is powerful in the water, but not very strong on land. We can only act if we bring it ashore. Li Tianxing said.

"It's a simple word, but how to do it is a problem. Who in the audience is good at water? Even if they are good at water, they can't be the opponent of Ahuizotl underwater. I think it's better to take the elite soldiers of Lishan City to guard the rabbit, and as long as the Ahuizotl dares to take the lead, he will shoot with a crossbow. Wei Jun shook his head and suggested.

"Although Brother Wei's suggestion is good, if things are really that simple, then Brother Li probably won't invite us here. Jing Nan shook his head and retorted.

"Yes! Li also used this method, but it was in vain, and he also lost a lot of elite soldiers. Li Tianxing said.

Xiaodao felt that it was better to lead him ashore and have a combined attack technique to succeed. Zhenfan Little Taoist spoke, and without waiting for everyone to answer, he continued: "The water nature of the small path is good. It's just that I didn't know how to escape in the hands of the two Ahuizotls. ”

"It's okay to be in the water, and the light body technique is good, if you join forces with Brother Zhenfan, you must be able to escape under Ahuizotl. Cao Quyang unfolded the folding fan in his hand little by little.

"I'm also good at water, so I can join forces with you. Zhao Ruyun said.

"It's not proper!" Jing Nan shook his head, "It's too dangerous to go into the water to lure the water ape up, Fairy Zhao can't go." ”

"Why can't I go down? Zhenfan Xiaodao and Emperor Cao are not strong enough, even if it is dangerous to lure Ahuizotl. Apart from me, who else is good at water?" Zhao Ruyun stood up and said.

Jing Nan was taken aback by Zhao Ruyun's fierce reaction, and with a turn of his eyes, he saw Xiao Qingfeng, who had not spoken. Yan said: "I don't know how Brother Xiao is watery, can I help Brother Zhenfan and Brother Cao?"

Before Xiao Qingfeng could speak, Zhao Ruyun said angrily: "Don't ask him, as far as his water nature, he is not even as good as a senior sister, let alone me." ”

Xiao Qingfeng spread his hands and made a helpless look. Indeed, he is more afraid of water, and this has been the case in his past and present lives.
