Chapter 20: Nightfall

Three figures landed at the head of the city, all of them looking at everything in the field with grim faces.

These three people, standing in front of him is a middle-aged man, seven feet tall, although his appearance is ordinary, but he exudes an elegant wind, but he is holding a long sword with cold light in his hand at the moment, and his face is cold.

The other two were a warrior in armor with a city wall in his hand, and a handsome young man in his early twenties who also held a sword. The armor warrior's expression was better, he seemed calm, and he didn't panic at all in the face of the chaos in the field. The handsome young man's face was full of anger, especially when he saw the dead and wounded at the city gate, his eyes almost burst into flames.

These three people, Yue Chi all knew, and the leader was Zuo Honglin, the city lord of Yuyang City. The warrior wearing armor is Xiao Hong, the commander of the Yuyang Army of the Zuo family. And that handsome young man is Zuo Honglin's beloved son Zuo Nanyu, who is very difficult to deal with himself.

After Zuo Honglin glanced around, his eyes fell on Yue Chi's somewhat pale face, he first looked at it a few times, and then took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked softly, "Yunchi, are you okay?"

Yue Chi really wanted to roll his eyes, isn't this obvious, if something happens, he can still stand here. However, what he thought in his heart was that he would not show it, and he also knew that if it wasn't for Zuo Honglin and the three of them arriving in time, the result would be especially knowable now, so he said sincerely: "Fortunately, Uncle Zuo, you came in time, otherwise I would have been killed, and thank Uncle Zuo for saving my life." ”

"Alas!" Zuo Honglin sighed, and then instructed the two people beside him: "Nanyu, you go down to help the injured, don't be stingy with elixir." Xiao Hong, you keep an eye on the surroundings in case the Assassins go and return. ”

"Yes, subordinates obey"

"Yes, Dad. ”

The two agreed, and said a brief hello to Yue Chi, and then flew down the city wall and went to their respective jobs.

Zuo Honglin stared at Yue Chi again, looked at his somewhat haggard face, sighed again, and then suddenly reproached in a deep voice: "I said......, how did you provoke such a master? You, it's really not worry-free, if you fold here, and wait for a hundred years later, I go underground, how can I explain to my eldest brother Changfeng?"

Listening to this seemingly accusatory, but actually caring, Yue Chi's heart warmed slightly.

Zuo Honglin and Yue Changfeng are both the eldest and youngest of the previous generation in Yueyang City, and they wear a pair of pants, after Yue Changfeng passed away, Zuo Honglin has always taken good care of him.

Hearing him speak like this now, Yue Chi's eyes looking at Zuo Honglin were truly sincere. His eyes looked at the busy people under the city wall, and there was a low roar from Jiangbei and Chang Shan's screams in his ears, and he smiled bitterly: "Uncle Zuo knows me, where will I provoke the daughter of the good family,...... I don't know who sent the person who wanted to kill me, and I'm still wondering. ”

"Are you sure?" Zuo Honglin's face was obviously unconvinced, he glared at Yue Chi: "In the past year, I know very well what you have done in Xiaofeng Town, could it be that you slept with someone else's daughter after getting drunk, and forgot about it after waking up." ”

Yue Chi Khan, he didn't expect that this place was more than two thousand miles away from Xiaofeng Town, and the city lord of Zuo Honglin, Ri Li Wanji, actually cared about his own.

"I've been wronged, Uncle Zuo, you have to believe me. ”

Listening to his words that began to gush, there was a trend towards Yue Chang'an, Yue Chi hurriedly waved his hand. His eyes looked at Chang Ping, who was walking over after pranayama, and said, "I don't believe you ask Uncle Ping, he knows best." ”

Chang Ping glanced at Yue Chi, nodded, and then said in an affirmative tone: "The young master is in the year of knowing Shao Ai, but he only goes to Yuxiang Mansion often, and he really doesn't do anything wrong." The assassin didn't know where he came from, but he was so powerful that he almost fell in his way. ”

Zuo Honglin glanced at Chang Ping, and saw that he didn't seem to be panicking, and his eyes couldn't help showing doubts, and he said in his heart: "Since Yunchi didn't get into trouble, then such a harmless young man, who would attack him? The Immortal Ascension Conference is about to be held...... Could it be that it's Yue Changkong!!

The Yue family's three-room lineage is now only Yunchi, and his spiritual root qualifications are poor, and the decline and loss of power in the three-room room is inevitable, is it possible that Yue Changkong will completely cut off the bloodline of the three-room. ...... Ascending Immortals, Ascension Conference......"

This thought flashed in Zuo Honglin's mind, and it didn't go away for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zuo Honglin actually whispered to himself.

Although the voice was small, Yue Chi heard the words "Immortal Ascension Conference" clearly, and his heart moved suddenly, and he instantly thought that the Immortal Ascension Conference was about to be held.

Then he thought in his heart: "I have more heroes in the third room, and I have been an outstanding disciple of Yuanyang Mountain for generations, and I am the only male in the direct line of the Yue family's third room, although the spiritual root qualification is not good, and I can't join Yuanyang Mountain to become an outer disciple directly, but the entire Yuanyang Mountain will not be completely closed to me, and I am afraid that there are still places in the Immortal Ascension Conference......

The assassination he suffered, could it be another suppression of Sanfang by Yue Changkong, no, he should want to destroy Sanfang forever!"

These many thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, and he looked at Zuo Honglin, knowing that the other party was probably deliberately reminding him. However, nothing appeared on his face, and he still looked as usual.

Zuo Honglin's eyes had already fallen on Chang Ping, seeing that there were still blood stains on the corners of his mouth and body, Zuo Honglin said with a pleasant face: "Chang Ping, I have worked hard for you this time, if it weren't for you, Yunchi would be more auspicious today, and I will thank you for this matter later." ”

Chang Ping arched his hand and said: "The city lord of Zuo is polite, I am the slave of the young master, and it is my duty to protect the young master, and I don't deserve a word of thanks." ”

After the three of them said a few more words, Zuo Nanyu from the city came over to report that the wounded and the dead had been dealt with.

The commotion at the city gate had completely subsided at this time, and all the wounded and corpses had been well cared for and disposed of, so Yue Chi and his party followed Zuo Honglin to the City Lord's Mansion to rest and repair. The exact length of stay is uncertain, and no one cares about the itinerary anymore.

Because Han Zhong was seriously injured and already unconscious, Xiao Hong gave him several elixirs in a row to suppress his injuries. Until now, this Condensation Realm master has not come to his senses.

Three of the entire convoy died directly, Han Zhong and Jiang Bei were seriously injured, Chang Pingshan father and son and the rest of the four guards were all slightly injured, and the entire convoy was more than half damaged.

This kind of situation made everyone's hearts feel heavy, and they didn't say anything until they came to the City Lord's Mansion.

Of course, the dead are only guards and servants, and it is not a big deal that Yue Chi is fine, so in Zuo Honglin's heart, he does not feel that this is a great loss. After encouraging the injured guards to guard the door, he ordered the people of the city lord's mansion to take them down to take care of them, and then asked people to prepare a sumptuous banquet, and Yue Chi and Chang Ping, the heroes who were warmly entertained in the main hall.

At the banquet, Zuo Honglin blamed Yue Chi, saying that since he was going to pass through Yuyang City, why didn't he send someone to inform him in advance, so he could send someone to pick him up. Yue Chitui said that he was in a hurry and couldn't stay for a long time to play, so he didn't bother.

Later, Zuo Honglin asked about Yue Chi's life experience in the past few years, although he paid attention to Yue Chi from time to time, he also knew nothing.

In fact, apart from the life and death calamity and his resurrection, there is nothing that cannot be said, so for Zuo Honglin's question, Yue Chi easily prevaricated.

Not to be outdone, Yue Chi eagerly asked Brother Zuo Nanyu why he hadn't mixed up so far, when he was twenty-seven or eighteen this year. Zuo Honglin replied with a smile, "My son is all about cultivation."

Then Yue Chi asked why he didn't see his little sister Zuo Nanzhen? Zuo Honglin was shocked and immediately told him the news that Zuo Nanzhen was in retreat and impacting the Condensation Realm, which made Yue Chi feel stunned.

In short, the whole banquet dispersed in an enthusiastic atmosphere, which can be described as a joy for the guests and hosts.

When Yue Chi was sent to a clean and elegant courtyard by his subordinates, it was almost time.

At this time, a round of waning moon in the sky hangs in the blue sky, lonely and far away, and the night is like water waves layer by layer, which makes people can't help but fantasize about the monsters and ghosts between the heaven and the earth.

After the next person left, before Yue Ping could speak, Yue Chi had already turned around and smiled at Chang Ping: "Uncle Ping, I'm going to see Hall Master Han and the injured brothers later, and then Hai Zheng, let's find a clean place to drink some sobering tea, and then you listen to me tell you a little story that my father told me, how about ?...... Now, let me be alone for a while. ”

Chang Ping was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was ecstatic, and at the same time, his vigilance had been raised by twelve points, and then he muttered for a moment, and then nodded.
