Chapter 37: Pie in the Sky
Wuyang City. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After the last time She Chan attacked the city, the Martial King killed the Great Demon Snow Fox, and the Great Demon of the Dragon Soul Mountain Range was divided into many parts. These days, the people in the streets of Wuyang City have gradually increased their movements, and they are no longer as cautious and cautious as when the monsters attacked the villages and towns a few days ago.
In the city, from time to time, there are soldiers wearing heavy armor patrolling back and forth, and directly above the city gate, there is a smooth mirror, the mirror is bright and clear, it is a magic weapon, which can illuminate the true body of the monster. But all the people who enter the city must pass through the light of the mirror before they can enter the city.
Jiang Cheng and Hou Fenghan strode into Wuyang City, only to see a busy traffic, crowded with people, and bustling. The two walked to a noodle shop, ordered two bowls of Yangchun noodles to fill their stomachs, and then headed for the slums.
"I don't know what happened to my sister and Xiaochuan?" Jiang Cheng thought of the two of them, and his heart became anxious, and he couldn't help but speed up his pace.
"This time, I became the deputy commander of the government soldiers, and the reward of the palace will definitely not be bad, and when the time comes, I will get out of the slums, and I will also have time to explore the root of my sister's illness. ”
The two of them scurried into the pathway, into the slum, and soon into the dilapidated compound.
However, the courtyard was empty, but the food in the pot was hot, apparently not long after it had been prepared.
Jiang Cheng's eyes turned cold, and he was anxious.
Jiang Yixue is blind and has hardly ever been out of the slums. Moreover, Ning Xiaochuan received the "Zhou Tianxing Killing Body Forging Method" taught by Jiang Cheng, and in more than half a month, his strength will inevitably not be bad. There is no one in the slum who can beat Ning Xiaochuan.
"Could it be She Chan?" Jiang Cheng was frightened.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was not. After all, the snow fox had just died, and Wuyang City was heavily guarded, and She Chan would never risk his life and go deep into Wuyang City alone. However, Jiang Cheng is a mediocre person, he has few enemies, and the strongest enemy is She Chan. The rest, I'm afraid they are not Ning Xiaochuan's opponents.
Hou Fenghan also felt that something was wrong, he walked along the courtyard, and said quietly after a while: "There are no traces of a battle in the courtyard, which proves that the people who took away your sister and Ning Xiaochuan are very strong." Or, they didn't resist. ”
"Perhaps, this man is here for the two of us. ”
"Someone!" Hou Fenghan's eyes flashed and he looked at the door of the courtyard.
I saw the sound of small footsteps, and then a figure appeared in the sight of the two.
This man was middle-aged, and he was wearing a crimson battle armor with tadpole-like runes engraved on it. The middle-aged man's face was covered with knife marks, like centipedes lying on his body, making him look extremely hideous. His aura is also extremely profound, and he is a Purple Mansion Realm cultivator who has cultivated the Purple Mansion.
"By the order of His Royal Highness, please go to Ziyun Garden as guests!" the middle-aged man said, his voice hoarse, making people feel eerie.
"Second prince?" Jiang Cheng's gaze suddenly turned cold, he was a civilian, why did the second prince kidnap his sister and brother. He held back the anger in his heart and said, "Lead the way!"
Hou Fenghan's face was cloudy, and he sighed slowly.
The scarred man smiled grimly and led the two of them slowly towards Ziyun Garden.
Ziyun Garden is located in the north of Wuyang City, where purple bamboos are verdant, flowers are in full bloom, and the scenery is beautiful. Jiang Cheng and Hou Fenghan followed the footsteps of the scarred man, bypassing several corridors, and suddenly became open in front of them.
An avenue leads to a pavilion.
Jiang Cheng saw that Jiang Yixue and Ning Xiaochuan were sitting in the pavilion at the moment, with delicious food in front of them, and Ning Xiaochuan was gobbling it up, feasting like a hungry ghost. And Jiang Yixue suddenly entered an unfamiliar environment, which seemed to be very uncomfortable and very restrained.
When Jiang Cheng saw the two of them, his tense mood suddenly relaxed, and he walked quickly towards the pavilion. Hou Fenghan's eyes were deep, and he stood quietly in place, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Sister!Xiaochuan!" Jiang Cheng exclaimed.
"Brother!" As soon as Jiang Yixue heard Jiang Cheng's voice, she immediately got up, her dim eyes rolling, as if she was looking for Jiang Cheng's traces. Ning Xiaochuan didn't care about wiping his mouth clean, hugged Jiang Cheng suddenly, and said vaguely: "How is it, have you passed?"
Jiang Cheng nodded vigorously and told the two of them about the assessment of the government soldiers, but he concealed all the dangers.
When Ning Xiaochuan heard that Jiang Cheng had become the deputy commander, he stood up suddenly, looked straight at Jiang Cheng, and immediately picked up the wine jug and raised his head to drink.
"I'll just say, my brother must be the best! You really lived up to my expectations!" Ning Xiaochuan laughed and drank again, his eyebrows full of joy.
Jiang Cheng snatched Ning Xiaochuan's wine jug, drank it all, and his eyes fell on Ning Xiaochuan, and he was suddenly startled.
Ning Xiaochuan had only been cultivating the "Zhou Tian Star Killing Body Forging Method" for only half a month, and now he was a five-fold martial arts cultivator, and there was a faint flow of starlight in his bones, muscles, and tendons, which showed his strength.
On the side, even Jiang Yixue's quiet temperament felt the movements of Jiang Cheng and Ning Xiaochuan, and she was smiling like a flower at this moment.
Jiang Cheng pressed down and looked around. But he didn't see Yan Qingyun's figure, and the scarred man who led him also disappeared without a trace, the joy in his heart gradually faded, and his expression became solemn. And Hou Fenghan sat alone in a corner, his brows furrowed, obviously thinking about the meaning of Yan Qingyun's actions.
"Xiaochuan, tell me, how did you and your sister come to Ziyun Garden?"
Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile: "This morning, as soon as I made breakfast, I saw a man with a scar appear at the door. The man was so ugly that he jumped me off the hook. However, he said that he was a servant of His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Yan Kingdom, and wanted to invite me and Sister Jiang to Ziyun Garden as guests. At that time, I also thought that I couldn't fight it myself, so it was better to follow him to this Purple Cloud Garden in Laoshizi. ”
"Originally, I thought that what was waiting for me was severe torture, but I didn't expect it to be big fish, big meat, wine and delicious food. ”
At this point, Ning Xiaochuan's eyes patrolled the four directions, and when he saw that no one was present, he immediately leaned over and said in a low voice: "Although I haven't read a book, I also know that there is absolutely no pie in the sky falling for no reason." Since this second prince invited me and Sister Jiang here, and now invites you again, I'm afraid his real purpose is you or that old man!"
Jiang Cheng nodded, agreeing with Ning Xiaochuan's analysis. When performing martial arts, the eyes of the second prince have always been on him, although his strength is weaker than Yan Qingyun, it is impossible not to notice it at all.
"Huh" Jiang Cheng exhaled a breath ......of turbidity, only feeling extremely tired, he had just undergone the assessment of the government soldiers, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and now he had to face the second prince of Yan Kingdom, he had a deep sense of powerlessness.
"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Whoever wants to hurt my relatives can't do it!" Jiang Cheng clenched his fists, his gaze became firm, with a hint of determination.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of broken footsteps from the depths of Ziyun Garden.
The second prince, Yan Qingyun, was escorted by the scar man and slowly walked towards the pavilion. And behind him, a shadow hid in the shadows of Yan Qingyun and the scarred man, slowly wriggling like a worm, as if hidden in the void, dormant in the darkness. With the naked eye, you can only see the shadows of Yan Qingyun and the scar man swaying with the movements of the two, and you can't see the black shadow hidden in the depths.
In front of the pavilion, Hou Fenghan's gaze swept over Yan Qingyun, his mood was heavy, but on the surface he was silent.
