Chapter 274: Blood Road (3/5)
Linglong originally had the intention of separating from Xiao Suifeng in this sand city, but now that the situation seemed to be a little wrong, she also followed Xiao Suifeng and chased after him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Suifeng saw Linglong chasing after him, so he couldn't help but slow down his horse, and waited silently until Linglong walked side by side with him before he finally spoke, "Linglong, let's go separately." ”
Linglong was stunned when she heard this, but then reacted.
Linglong is not only a person's water spirit, but also delicate and delicate, so he naturally understands the meaning behind Xiao Suifeng's words.
Xiao Suifeng had never said that the two of them were walking separately before, but Xiao Suifeng brought it up at this moment, obviously, this was out of an idea of protecting Linglong.
The previous Xiao Suifeng thought that his identity had not been exposed, so it didn't matter if Linglong followed him to act, and after coming out of Broken Forest Mountain, there would be no danger and trouble. But now, Xiao Suifeng's identity is exposed, and the situation is immediately completely changed.
Whether there will be danger or not is there for the time being, I am afraid that trouble is inevitable.
And the trouble that Xiao Suifeng is in at the moment is not a small trouble, but is suspected of colluding with the Demon Dao, which can be described as a big taboo in the righteous path. Linglong is very close to Xiao Suifeng at this time, and it is possible that he will bring himself into this whirlpool at any time, which will undoubtedly have a very adverse impact on Linglong.
In the Broken Forest Mountain, Linglong not only saved Xiao Suifeng's life, but also helped Xiao Suifeng a lot, in Xiao Suifeng's heart, he had already regarded Linglong as a friend, and naturally he didn't want to, because of himself, Linglong was also involved in trouble.
Linglong understood Xiao Suifeng's purpose, and opened her mouth to refute.
But Linglong is not Xiao Suifeng after all, Xiao Suifeng is indifferent to the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect, but Linglong has deep feelings for the Valley of Hundred Flowers. If it is involved at this time, it will only involve Dao Linglong alone, and Linglong will naturally not hesitate, but once Linglong herself is involved, Baihua Valley will inevitably be involved in this turmoil, and such a big impact is that Linglong has to consider it.
At the moment, Linglong's expression was cold, and she stopped talking a few times, but finally shook her head, didn't say anything to shirk, but she didn't promise Xiao Suifeng, just said calmly, "I also want to leave Wangshanyuan, since I am on the same road, I will walk with Brother Xiao for a while." ”
Silently glanced at Linglong, seeing that he said this, Xiao Suifeng was not good at saying anything, so he could only nod silently and say no more.
......
When Xiao followed the wind to Wangshanyuan, he went south from Guangyang City, passed Guyu City, and then turned back to the east, and arrived at Aoki Villa, before turning around and continuing to Wangshanyuan.
Xiao Suifeng's path naturally made a big detour, but Xiao Suifeng needed to go to Aoki Villa first to see Na Taiqian, so he had to do so.
However, at this moment, Xiao Suifeng wants to return to Guangyang City, so naturally it is not so troublesome, after leaving Shacheng, he only needs to go straight along an official road to the east, that is, he can walk out of Wangshan Plain and return directly to Middle Earth.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong had already learned that the war between the Central Plains Righteous Path factions and the Cold Moon Sect had temporarily subsided, and both of them were preparing to return to their respective sects.
Xiao Suifeng wanted to pick up Liu Laoqi and Liu Xue'er, return to Luo Qingfeng, and go to see Zuo Song.
Liu Laoqi and Liu Xue'er, since Xiao Suifeng has already agreed to accept Liu Xue'er as an apprentice, he will naturally keep his promise, and it is impossible to ignore it, so he will naturally take it away. And returning to Luo Qingfeng, not only because Xiao Suifeng was worried about Zuo Song's situation at the moment, but also because he had something to ask Zuo Song.
As for Linglong, since the dispute between the Righteous Path Sect and the Cold Moon Sect has been temporarily stopped, then Linglong naturally has no need to stay in this Wangshan Plain, and of course she needs to return to the Mountain Gate.
As far as the entire territory of Dakang is concerned, the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect is in the hinterland of Middle-earth, and the Hundred Flowers Valley is on the southern coast, but whether it is going to the Cloud Piercing Sword Sect or returning to the Hundred Flowers Valley, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong are the first to walk out of this Wangshan Plain.
Therefore, Linglong said that she and Xiao Suifeng were on a good trip, which was not an excuse to reject Xiao Suifeng, but a fact.
Shacheng counts, although it is not the middle of Wangshanyuan, but it is also the hinterland of Wangshanyuan, if you want to go out of Wangshanyuan from Shacheng, it is also hundreds of miles away, even if there is an increase in the speed of horses, if you want to go out, it will take at least seven or eight days.
And moving from Shacheng, that official road, although it was specially built by the Dakang Imperial Court to facilitate the rapid mobilization of the army and facilitate the control of Wangshanyuan, but compared with those official roads in the hinterland of Middle Earth, it is still too different. On both sides of this official road, there is no normal official road, and there are post stations every dozens of miles.
The entire official road, until it walked out of Wangshan Plain, was only a few small military towns at a distance of hundreds of miles.
There is no need for anything else in the Wangshan Plain, among which there are all kinds of strongmen, horse thieves, mountain thieves and various forces threaten the safety of the official road, if it is normal to set up only some convenient post stations, I am afraid that those post stations will be destroyed by horse thieves or bandits in a few days.
In the beginning, there was basically no supply in Wangshan Plain, and all the supplies could only be transported from Wangshan Plain, in this case, the existence of the official road can be said to be the lifeline of the army, and safety is naturally particularly important.
Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the official road and ensure the smooth flow of supplies, several military towns were built where the official road was built.
From Shacheng to the east, until the junction of Wangshanyuan and Guanshan Prefecture at the junction of Zoumaguan, the pipeline stretches, a total of more than 700 miles away, these 700 miles of official road, not counting the beginning and end of Shacheng and Zoumaguan, a total of another city, two passes and four military towns to ensure the safety of this official road, which shows that the Dakang Imperial Court attaches great importance to this pipeline.
This is also a matter of no way, although there are many roads into Wangshanyuan, but it can really be used by the Dakang Imperial Court, and has always been in the hands of the imperial court, it is only two or three days of the main road, Shacheng to Zoumaguan is one of them, whether it is out of the control of Wangshanyuan, or out of the support guarantee of Shacheng and other large armies, the Dakang Imperial Court must always firmly control this important official road.
After Xiao Suifeng and Linglong left Shacheng, they went all the way to the east.
Not long after, in half a day, he came to the first military town after leaving the east from Shacheng, Chuanshui Town.
Naturally, it is impossible to treat a military town as an ordinary town, and the so-called military town is actually just a permanent military stronghold. To put it simply, it is an ordinary military camp, and if it is located in a critical place, it becomes a fortress.
This Chuanshui Town, at the beginning of the construction, was just a simple military base, and the layout was also very simple, with a total of 500 troops stationed in a simple camp, which was the original Chuanshui Town.
It's just that after decades of operation, everything at the beginning has naturally changed.
Today's Chuanshui Town, there are still only 500 soldiers, but it is no longer the original simple military camp, after a long time of construction, it really looks like a town.
Today's Chuanshui Town, the overall layout is still set up in accordance with the layout of the barracks, but the original wooden wall has now been replaced by a large stone barrier, and the original tents in the fence have also become stone houses and earthen houses.
The setting of the barracks is directly across the official road, passing through the camp, and at the entrance and exit, there are also heavy wooden half gates, and people who pass by can only pass through after careful investigation.
The original military camp was actually just that, but now after decades of operation, there are many ordinary people in the military town.
The common people were numbered in the hundreds, most of whom were small merchants and merchants, and there were only a handful of local residents in the Wangshan Plain. These people lived outside the walls of the barracks, and built houses and even a few shops on the periphery of the barracks, and lived closely attached to the military town.
The appearance of these people is naturally due to the fact that this military town can provide them with security, but it also makes the military town really look like a town.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong came out of Shacheng to the east, and when they came to this Chuanshui Town, it was already evening, and the sky was about to go completely dark, and the gate of the military town was also closed early.
However, after Xiao Suifeng and Linglong came to this Chuanshui Town, it was not that they had nowhere to go.
Although the gate of the military town has been closed, the people attached to both ends of the military town also provide accommodation for pedestrians and merchants.
Although this is only a military town less than 100 miles away from Shacheng, there are one or two inns. And since they have a place to live, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong naturally will not choose to sleep in the wilderness, of course, they live in an inn.
Although the conflict between the righteous path factions and the Cold Moon Sect has come to an end temporarily, and even the Dakang army's attack on Fushan City has temporarily subsided, the merchants who come and go in Wangshan Plains have still not recovered.
Although you can still see merchants from time to time, it is still much less than before, which can be seen from the inn.
Xiao Suifeng and Linglong lived in an inn called Chuanshui Inn, with only eight rooms in total, but now there are seven empty rooms, and at this moment, Xiao Suifeng and Linglong just asked for two rooms.
The sky soon darkened, and Xiao Suifeng and Linglong went back to the house to clean up.
Originally, after leaving Broken Forest Mountain, the two of them were going to rest in Shacheng for a day and have a good rest and recuperation, but then because of Guo Qian'an's unpredictable attitude at the beginning, he left Shacheng directly, and then he came here.
In fact, whether it is Xiao Suifeng or Linglong, he is not the pampered person.
Xiao Suifeng and Zuo Song, when they were on Ning Xu Peak, had a hard life, and in the future, when Xiao Suifeng went down the mountain, he also slept in the wild more, so he naturally didn't care about these conditions, so after a simple cleanup, he returned to the lobby.
And although Linglong is a delicate girl, after all, the task of chasing clouds in Baihua Valley is most of the secret tracking, and it is also common to climb ice and snow, so she has also developed a hard-working character.
But girls are girls after all, even if Linglong is such a person who has already closed up the difficult conditions, she always has a love for beauty, so after staying in the inn, she washed up well, and it took more than half an hour before she walked out, and at this time, Xiao Suifeng was already sitting in the lobby early.
There is basically no change on Xiao Suifeng's body, and even the clothes are the original clothes, but they are a little familiar, and the dust on his face has been swept away.
But Linglong, as if she had completely changed a person, not only did her clothes change into a well-fitting woman's clothes, but her face was also lightly painted with a layer of makeup.
Linglong appeared, Xiao Suifeng couldn't help but take a look at it, and admired it slightly in his heart.
It's just Xiao Suifeng's admiration, naturally only in his heart, but there is no expression on his face, just a flash in his eyes.
However, what Linglong is best at is observing and paying attention to various details, so the changes in Xiao Suifeng's eyes did not escape the Linglong's eyes at all, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, walked to Xiao Suifeng's side, looked at Xiao Suifeng and laughed, "Brother Xiao, do you think I look good?"
Xiao Suifeng naturally saw Linglong's changes, but Xiao Suifeng didn't expect that Linglong would directly ask himself like this, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Xiao Suifeng was not shy or nervous, but in an instant, he suddenly recalled the shadow of Taiqian in his mind.
At this moment, this exquisite expression, even the smile on his face and the slightly playful tone, are very similar to the Taiqian that Xiao Suifeng met at the beginning.
At the beginning, Taiqian was not called this name, but she still appeared by Xiao Suifeng's side as Yu Wenqian, and she often teased Xiao Suifeng in this joking and bantering tone.
If it was Xiao Suifeng at the beginning, in the face of this kind of problem, his face might not be slightly red, and he felt embarrassed, and in the end he would either be silent or change the topic directly.
However, today's Xiao Suifeng can be regarded as having some experience, and he no longer knows how to deal with such a situation as he does now.
At that moment, Xiao Suifeng came back to his senses, and couldn't help but glance at that Linglong lightly, the expression on his face still couldn't see any flaws, but he nodded lightly and said frankly, "It's good-looking." ”
It made Linglong's face red. (To be continued.) )
