Before the mercenaries could finish speaking, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and seven people walked in from outside, as well as a small dog. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The mercenaries who were drinking in the bar were dumbfounded, staring blankly at the few people who came in.

It turned out that the few people who came in were Li Qing and others, and if you know how many people are on foot, it can be said that they travel thousands of miles in a day, and a few people can already arrive at such a small distance.

And those mercenaries can't figure it out, how can this guy be so fast, he is only slower than them and arrived in this town in a short time, if he uses his fighting energy to improve his speed, it is impossible to maintain it for such a long time, how much fighting energy will be consumed, and he will use his fighting energy for half a day, I'm afraid even the silver fighter can't bear it.

But looking left and right, these people are not masters, they are all thin, and among the three women, there is a little girl about ten years old, such a combination can actually catch up with them, the mercenaries can only look at them blankly, unable to make a sound, and after a while they reacted and drank again. But the doubts in my heart have not dissipated.

Li Qing and the others ordered some food at the only restaurant and bar in this town, and everyone solved the problem in their stomachs together, while Tianhuo did not focus on the food, but on the wine.

Tianhuo kept screaming, and strongly asked Li Qing to buy him some wine to drink, but he couldn't stand Tianhuo's pleading, so Li Qing called a bottle of barley wine to Tianhuo, and the waiter glanced at Li Qing and the others strangely, he hadn't seen a puppy who specialized in drinking.

That bottle of barley wine really couldn't withstand Tianhuo and drank it gently, Tianhuo held the bottle with his mouth, and drank it all in one fell swoop, and there was no drop left.

I just saw that the waiter was dumbfounded, and I couldn't imagine that such a small dog could drink so much. After drinking a bottle, Tianhuo suddenly clamored to drink it.

Lake saw that it was too troublesome to take a bottle of barley wine, so he asked the waiter to bring a barrel of barley wine first, and the waiter who was scared did not lie down, knowing that although the barley wine was sweet and delicious, it was full of stamina, and if he could drink two or three bottles of barley wine, the amount of wine was already quite good.

Is this puppy really so good at drinking? The waiter suspiciously followed Lake's request and immediately went to bring a large vat of barley wine.

As soon as Tianhuo saw such a large barrel of barley wine placed in front of it, the wine worm in his stomach suddenly moved, and he couldn't take into account the demeanor of his divine beast, so he actually "plopped!", jumped into the barley wine barrel, and poured the barley wine into his belly.

At this time, Tianhuo's behavior suddenly attracted the attention of the mercenaries who were drinking in the bar, and when they saw that Tianhuo was so able to drink, they all stared at Tianhuo.

I saw Tianhuo open its belly, floating in the barrel, and sucking the wine into its mouth, without stopping at all, and in a moment, the barrel full of barley wine entered Tianhuo's stomach.

The mercenaries suddenly shouted and shouted, "Look at that little dog, he actually drank such a bucket of barley, oh my God!"

"I must have drunk too much and my eyes are overwhelmed, I should go to bed now!"

"Can this puppy hold so much wine in such a small belly?" a mercenary scratched his head, puzzled.

After Tianhuo drank the barley wine, he shook the drops of wine from his body, jumped out of the barrel, and burped, as if the wine could only appetize it.

Seeing Tianhuo like this, Li Qing stretched out his hand and patted Tianhuo's head and said, "You are not allowed to drink any more, and you will be punished for not taking a sip of wine in the future after drinking again!"

The only thing Tianhuo was afraid of was Li Qing, and he could only obediently submit to Li Qing's threat, drooping his head and lying on the table with a depressed look.

In the next few days, those mercenaries always found out about this strange situation, obviously they rode their horses and hurried ahead, ahead of Li Qing and the others, and left them behind, but when it came to the village or town where they rested at night, the seven people and one dog could always catch up with them.

As a result, the reputation of Li Qing and the others spread among those mercenaries, speaking of which there was a strange combination of seven people along the way, with two legs and wind, traveling thousands of miles a day, and a puppy with an amazing amount of alcohol following them, I am afraid that no one among those mercenaries could catch up with the amazing amount of alcohol of this puppy.

As we marched along the way, the beautiful scenery like the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River slowly disappeared and was replaced by a piece of barrenness.

Those grassy plants are low growing in the loess, gusts of autumn wind whistling, blowing those weeds swaying, but those grasses are tenacious and unfazed, in the face of strong winds, without fear.

The gusts of wind mixed with the yellow sand were blowing on the face, and it was very painful, as if life was hard to find here, only a few bald vultures hovered in the air, hoping to find food in this barren land.

As far as the eye can see, the rolling hills and forests have disappeared, and there is only endless loess and low vegetation.

Fortunately, there are roads on this loess, and villages of different sizes are located in the middle, otherwise, it is easy to get lost in this loess.

Li Qing and others went all the way along the road to Lieshan Pass, but they were not afraid of taking the wrong fork in the road, and there were villages and towns along the way to stay and rest, and they were also leisurely, and they could also enjoy the different loess scenery.

With the road, after walking through this vast and boundless yellow earth, it is slowly showing a trace of vitality, the green of life appears in front of everyone's eyes, the ground is covered with dead grass, showing a little green, if in the spring, I am afraid that the field is full of green.

Lake pointed ahead and said, "Boss, in about two or three days, we can reach Lieshan Pass, and when the time comes, I will take everyone to my house together." ”

After hearing Lake's words, Yasen and the others couldn't help but come to their senses, you must know that in the past few days, the whole person has been in the dust, and they can have a good rest after arriving at the Lieshan Pass.

Everyone shouted and rushed forward quickly, only Andor was still calmly by Li Qing's side, Li Qing glanced at Andor and couldn't help but sigh.

Today's Amdo is no longer the Amdo of the past, if it were the previous Amdo, I am afraid that I would have rushed forward a long time ago and went crazy with everyone.

The world is not up to anyone, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Li Qing and An Duo did not stand on their feet, and the void floated on the ground, following Lake and the others who had already run into the distance.

With the speed of a few people, it would have taken two or three days to travel, but it was rushed to Lieshan Pass by Li Qing and a few others in less than a day.

And those mercenaries have been pulled down a long distance, and I'm afraid it will take three or four days to catch up at the earliest, which really makes those mercenaries stunned.

Seeing the Lieshan Pass in front of him, Lake shouted: "Lieshan Pass, I'm here, Dad, I'm back, haha!"

Yasen pushed Lake and said, "This is Lieshan Pass, why don't you see the three words Lieshan Pass?" There should be these three words!"

Lake shouted: "I didn't see such a stupid person, those words are on the other side, the city gate on this side is facing our Dajie Empire, and on the other side of the city gate towards the Apelo Empire, there are three words written on the city gate of the Burning Mountain Pass, you know?"

Then he said to Li Qing: "Boss, how is it! It's okay here! I grew up here since I was a child, and I'm familiar with it!"

Li Qing looked around, only the Lie Mountain Pass is located in the Insertion Heaven Mountains, the entire Insertion Mountains here seem to have been split with an axe, there is a big mouth, the Mountains are the highest and longest mountains in the entire continent, almost separating the Dajie Empire from other countries, the Insertion Mountains go straight into the sky, the more you go up, the temperature plummets, and the halfway up the mountain is already snowy, no one has ever reached the top of the mountain, it can be said that this is the highest mountain range on the entire continent.

And if the Apelo Empire wants to enter the Dajie Empire, if it doesn't pass through here, it must pass through the Yellow Dust Desert inhabited by orcs, and the unpredictable and sinister weather there will probably be swallowed up by the scorching yellow sand before it passes, so this Lieshan Pass is the only passage for the Apelo Empire to invade.

If they are allowed to conquer this Burning Mountain Pass, then the entire empire will have no natural danger to defend, even if it is the city of Zhigong, Apelo does not have to go to attack it, and can completely bypass it.

Therefore, it can be seen that the importance of this Lieshan Pass can be said to be the first pass of the Dajie Empire.

The city of Lieshan Pass is located in the narrow strip between the split mountain ranges, the whole city is built on the mountain, the situation is majestic, there are only two gates, the east gate is facing the Apelo Empire, and the west gate is facing their own country.

The entire huge city wall is fifty or sixty zhang high, and the thickness of the city wall is ten zhang, which can resist the attack of the most powerful magic cannon, and form a whole with the entire Heaven Piercing Mountain Range, which is extremely strong.

At the east gate, there is also a city circle that extends out to strengthen the defense, the outer city circle is also called Luo City, the whole city is surrounded by rivers, and there are pools between the city circle and the city wall, that is, there are two layers of rivers to protect the whole city, plus the most elite Fire Legion guards, it can be said that the entire Lieshan Pass is impregnable.

There are also dozens of magic turrets on the walls of the outer city, each of which is also three or four zhang high, the magic turret is divided into two layers, each floor has two magic cannons, each turret echoes each other, showing the trend of each other's horns, forming a perfect defense system.

When Li Qing saw such an imposing city, he couldn't help but blurt out and praise: "It's the first level in the world, it's really magnificent!"

Seeing that his boss was so admiring of his home, Lake couldn't help but smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Hehe! Thank you for the compliment!"

Then he said, "Let's go, I'll take everyone to my house, my parents will be very happy!"

After speaking, he led everyone towards the city gate of Lieshan Pass, only to see that at the gate of Lieshan Pass, the crowd of people coming and going was endless, very busy, people and horses and vehicles flowed, and there was no more noise.

Because this is the main gateway between the Dajie Empire and other countries, there are many merchants who come and go, and those merchants who transport goods from other countries here and sell them to their own countries have also opened their own shops in the city of Lieshan Pass, and the merchants of the Dajie Empire can buy goods from their shops and then transport them to the mainland, so this Lieshan Pass is also an important commodity trading place.

Led by Lake, everyone came to the city gate after a while, and saw eight mighty and majestic soldiers standing outside the city gate.

It can also be seen that the Fire Legion is called the first ace legion of the empire, and it is not in vain, a soldier guarding the city gate has such momentum, you can know how strong and elite the entire Fire Legion is.

Moreover, those soldiers are neither arrogant nor inferior, maintaining the order of entering and exiting the city of Lieshan Pass in an orderly manner, and the entire city gate seems to be orderly, I don't know how many times better than those soldiers guarding the city in other cities.

Seeing these soldiers like this, Li Qing couldn't help but nod after seeing it.

Lake was also very happy to see Li Qing so admired the soldiers of his father's Fire Legion.

Passing through the tall city gate, everyone finally came to the inside of the Lieshan Pass City, where the style of the city was completely different from the cities in the interior of the Dajie Empire.

If the architectural style of Tianjing, the city of Zhigong in the mainland, is extremely luxurious and magnificent, then the architecture of the Lieshan Guancheng here is unpretentious, thick and dignified, revealing the sense of historical vicissitudes everywhere, and all the buildings here are built to resist the concept of foreign enemies.

The pedestrians walking in the city also lost the glitz of the aristocracy, everything was harmonious, peaceful, and orderly, and everyone's faces were filled with happiness, which showed that the Fire Legion governed the entire city quite well.

When Li Qing and the others saw the situation in the city, they all liked the atmosphere here, and it seemed that everyone in this city got along with each other equally, and there was no contempt and hatred, only unity.

Lake said, "Boss, everyone, let's go to my house together, let's go!"

Under the leadership of Lake, he turned left and right in the city of Lieshan Pass, walked for a long time, and finally came to the door of a small courtyard, this mansion looked unusually ordinary, ordinary people thought it was an ordinary family, and it could not be compared with the aristocratic mansions seen by those nobles in the city of Tianjing.

I saw that the horizontal plaque on the gate of the courtyard was written with two big characters of Lei Fu, the words were full of power, revealing the heroic and murderous atmosphere, it can be seen that the person who wrote these two words must be a general galloping on the battlefield, only this kind of person can reveal such a bloody battle, galloping in the thousands of troops and horses of the indomitable blood.

Seeing Li Qing looking at the two words on the plaque, Lake explained: "Boss, these two words are written by my father himself, not bad!"

Li Qing nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that Ling Zun must be a heroic bloody man!"

Hearing Li Qing praise his father so much, Lake couldn't help but say proudly: "My father is not my boast, he is my idol since childhood!"

After saying that, he laughed.

Then he said with emotion: "I haven't seen them for a long time, I don't know how they are now!"

Lake walked briskly to the gate, slapped his hand on the door, and shouted, "Dad, Mommy, I'm back!"

I only heard a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran towards the door, only to hear a "squeak!", and the door was suddenly opened, only to see a young man about the same age as Lake coming out, looking straight at Lake.

Meng shouted excitedly: "Madam, the young master is back, the young master is back!"

Lake also looked at the young man excitedly, reached out and patted the young man's shoulder, and said, "Little mallet, you're okay!"

"Young master, I'm fine, I just miss you a little!" said the little mallet in a choked voice.

Lake said, "Little mallet, are my parents okay?"

The little mallet nodded violently and said, "They are all in good health, but Mrs. reads you every day!"

Lake turned his head and beckoned Li Qing and the others to come in, and said to Li Qing: "Boss, this is what I have played since I was a child, called Little Stick Mallet, it can be said that I am like a brother!"

The little mallet hurriedly said: "There, if it wasn't for the old man and his wife who kindly took me in, I would have frozen to death on the street a long time ago, how can I still call the young master a brother!"

Lake didn't bother with the mallet anymore, and said to the mallet, "This is my boss, take me to my mother!"

When the little mallet saw that Li Qing and the others were all extraordinary, all of them exuded the temperament of a master, and this temperament had only been seen from his master, that is, Lake's father, and hurriedly led Li Qing and the others towards the courtyard.

As he walked, he shouted loudly: "Madam! Young Master Lake is back, Young Master Lake is back! Come out quickly!"

The loud voice of the little mallet had already called the people in the entire courtyard, and before Li Qing and the others reached the hall, they saw a middle-aged lady standing outside the hall from a distance, dressed plainly, but with a graceful and luxurious temperament.

When he saw Lake coming from outside, he immediately said excitedly, "My son!

As soon as Lake saw the middle-aged and beautiful lady, he immediately rushed forward, knelt on the ground, and sobbed: "Mom, the child is not filial, and I have only come to see my mother now!"

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" the middle-aged lady stopped crying and said in a loud voice.

Lake stood up and said to the middle-aged lady, "Mom, let me introduce you to some of my friends!"

Then he pointed to Li Qing and the others and said: "This is my new boss, named Li Qing, is the leader of our Tianhuo Mercenary Regiment, and I have already joined the Tianhuo Mercenary Group." ”

"This is Andor, this is Yasen, Xiaomeng, Helen, and this one is Julia, the princess of the elven race!"

Hearing Lake's introduction, the middle-aged lady nodded politely to Li Qing and the others, and said, "Lake's help is thanks to you, it's just the trouble for you!"

Li Qing and the others hurriedly said, "There! There!"

Lake continued, "Boss, this is my mother, Eliza!"

Li Qing and the others all saluted: "Madam!"

Eliza hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, everyone don't stand outside, come and sit inside, come in!"

After speaking, he beckoned everyone to come to the hall.

When everyone came to the hall, they saw that the layout in the hall was as simple as the appearance of the entire mansion, simple and unpretentious, but it also seemed harmonious and comfortable.

As soon as he sat down in the hall, Lake asked, "Mom, where is Dad? Why isn't he there?"

Eliza looked at Lake dotingly, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, you also know what kind of person your father is, he stays in the barracks all day long, training soldiers, and now it should be time to come back from the barracks!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, and a strong and rough voice came in, "Madam, I'm back!"

It's really Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Yes, it was the Grand General of the Flame Legion who knocked on the door, Renault, and Renault, the Flame General of Ryker's father and one of the six Golden Fighters.

I saw a middle-aged man walk in from outside the hall, everyone turned their heads to look, the middle-aged man walked in a tiger's step, exuding a fierce murderous aura, this kind of murderous aura is completely different from Amdo's murderous aura, that is a kind of battlefield murderous aura that only has experienced thousands of troops and horses, and was born and died on the battlefield, and the unique Jin Ge Iron Horse.

As soon as they saw the middle-aged man come in, everyone saw the true face of Lake's father Renault, only to see that Renault's whole person was burly, his body was quite majestic, and there was a scar on his face full of masculinity, which showed his heroic and rough mine, and a pair of eyes were clear and abnormal, flashing with the light of wisdom.

It is also to strictly guard the first level of the Dajie Empire, so that the enemy cannot advance half a step.

When Lake saw his father walk in, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, you must know that Renault is usually very strict with his only son, and he is very strict with his words and deeds.

Lake immediately stood up from his chair and said respectfully to Renault, "Dad, I'm back!"

Seeing his son who he hadn't seen for a long time, Renault's eyes also flashed with excitement, and said, "It's back, it's good to come back!"

As soon as Renault entered the hall, he saw Li Qing and the others in the hall, and doubts flashed in his eyes.

As soon as she saw her husband's questioning look, Eliza walked up to Renaud's side and said with a smile: "These are all your son's friends, and this time they specially passed by our Lei Mansion to see us!"

Lake introduced Li Qing and others to his father one by one, Renault didn't have a frame at all, he seemed very kind, and after the introduction, he sat down on the main seat.

Renault sat down and said to Reak, "Reak, aren't you still studying at the Imperial Academy?

As he spoke, his tone became more and more severe.

Lake was also very afraid of his father, and hurriedly replied, "Principal Ningdas saw that our cultivation could already come out of the academy, so he said that he would let us graduate early!"

When Renault heard his son's words, he couldn't help but be surprised, he also knew how difficult it was to graduate from the Imperial Academy early, and it was even more difficult to get the permission of the headmaster, Magister Nindath, he didn't expect his son to be so capable.
