"Sister Sara, let's go ask for directions." After Lin Ran said that, he wanted to go to the lake and ask the old fisherman.
However, Sara directly called up the virtual interface from her watch, checked the nearby map, and said: "This is Chengzhou in Donghua, a place full of chaos and right and wrong."
"A place of right and wrong?" Lin Ran said curiously: "What does this mean?"
"Although this place is only more than 700 kilometers away from the capital of Donghua, it is surrounded by mountains that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is a natural defensive barrier." Sara pointed at the mountains with her finger on the screen and said, "Therefore, there are many rivers and lakes. Sects gather here, and there are many battles... This Chengzhou is the center of the world of martial arts in the north of the Donghua Federation."
"Federal countries also have a world of rivers and lakes..." Lin Ran felt a little emotional when he heard this familiar term.
It seems that the Donghua Federation has more or less inherited some things from Daxia. At least, the Jianghu temperament has been preserved among the people.
Lin Ran suddenly thought of Ao Gushuang and He Wushuang.
I don’t know how far Donghua Sword Immortal is from here.
However, at this moment, a message suddenly popped up on Sarah's watch.
The content is - Sasuo, captain of the palace guard of the Sem Empire, appeared in Donghua and killed Yi Longfeng, the captain of the Supervision Bureau!
Star Wars!
Looking at this scene, Sarah's pupils trembled slightly, obviously a little surprised.
Then, a smile appeared on her face again: "After Your Majesty came here, Sasso actually took action forcefully. I'm really not afraid of offending the Donghua Federation."
"Sasso?" Lin Ran frowned: "Is he here to support me?"
"Indeed, once Sasso wants to support you, it is simply unreasonable." Sara said: "I have never seen him like this."
"It's not that I don't appreciate it, but... I think Sasso really doesn't need to do this." Lin Ran said: "Such a reckless attack, isn't this intensifying the conflict between the two countries?"
"This must be His Majesty's order." Sarah said, "Your Majesty must have his own considerations, but he really takes care of you."
After a pause, Sara chuckled again and said, "Have you noticed that you have now begun to consider international relations issues from the perspective of the Seim Empire?"
Lin Ran: "..."
I don’t know how the Donghua official will characterize this matter afterwards. If the identity of the two parties involved in the war is put aside and it is characterized as a battle of warriors, then there will not be too many disturbances in the follow-up. However, in the face of the Seim Empire’s visit Can Donghua officials tolerate this slap in the face?
"Then don't expect me to call him daddy." Lin Ran chuckled, studied the map for a while, and then walked towards the lake.
At this time, the old fishing man had already caught a fish, and then he supported the boat and slowly moved towards the shore.
"Old man, we..." Lin Ran was about to ask, but was interrupted by the other party.
After looking at their outfits, the old man asked, "Are you from outside Chengzhou?"
When he asked this question, he took off his raincoat and threw it on the boat. Then he picked up the fish basket with one hand and prepared to get off the boat.
This old man's hair is completely white, his face is full of wrinkles, his figure is a little stooped, and he is a little wobbly when he walks. He looks really old.
Lin Ran didn't even feel any energy from him, he looked like an ordinary rural old man.
At this time, the old man went into the shallow water wearing rubber shoes. He just took two steps, but his feet slipped, his body tilted, and he was about to fall.
Lin Ran immediately rushed into the water, helped the old man, and then slowly helped him to the lake.
"Good boy, nice person."
The old man looked at Lin Ran's shoes and trouser legs that were soaked by the lake water, then looked at Sara, and said, "If you have a good heart, you can find a beautiful wife."
Lin Ran and Sara looked at each other and smiled, and he didn't explain much.
After all, the sister next to me is so beautiful, even if she is misunderstood by others,
This relationship also made Lin Ran feel quite happy.
"What are you doing in Chengzhou?" The old man took a breath and picked up the fish basket: "I caught a few fish today. Do you want to eat them?"
"We don't eat fish. We just came from the capital today and just climbed over this mountain. We want to see what the rivers and lakes in Chengzhou are like..." Lin Ran said: "Old man, have you always lived in Chengzhou? ..."
He quite wanted to ask this old man for more news about the world of Donghua Jianghu.
"Leave early, Chengzhou is not peaceful." The old man did not answer Lin Ran's question. He shook his head, stroked the messy white beard on his chin, and said, "People from the capital come to this place. What to do? It’s better to leave quickly, otherwise you won’t be able to leave.”
Can't leave later?
Sara immediately said: "Old man, do you know something? Is there going to be trouble in Chengzhou's world of rivers and lakes?"
"Look over there a few more times." The old man pointed to the other end of the lake and said, "If the fog dissipates, you will definitely see corpses over there."
In fact, this lake is very large. The shore on the other side is at least one or two kilometers away from here. At this moment, even if there is no light fog, it is difficult to see clearly what is happening on the other side.
"Corpse?" Lin Ran frowned and asked, "Why is there a corpse here?"
"YesterdayThe fighting was fierce." The old man said, "My house is on the mountain opposite, and I could hear the fighting clearly. Chu, alas, the world is in chaos, it’s really in chaos.”
He sighed again, looking distressed.
"Old man, do you know the reason?" Lin Ran asked.
"What kind of alliance is it said to be..." the old man said: "The martial arts sects are going to form an alliance. It seems that something went wrong when electing the alliance leader. I don't know the specific situation, old man... Oh, please don't It affects our ordinary life."
After speaking, he looked at Lin Ran and said, "You are a kind-hearted boy. Leave Chengzhou as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a pity if this affects you."
"Thank you, old man." Lin Ran said, "We will go back today."
"Okay, then go back early. I'm going back now." The old man carried the fish basket and walked slowly towards the opposite mountain.
Lin Ran and Sara looked at each other and asked, "Sister Sara, what do you think?"
"You're here, of course you have to go and see it." Sarah chuckled: "Maybe, this so-called alliance is related to the radicals."
"Yeah." Lin Ran said, carrying Sarah on his back, running around the lake to the other side.
Sarah was suddenly carried on her back, with obvious surprise on her face... How could this kid Lin Ran be so familiar with the road?
"Hey, I can walk by myself now..." she said.
"I think you're too slow." Lin Ran jogged all the way, causing Sarah to bump and bump on his back.
Sarah stopped talking.
At this time, the old man had already walked up the hillside. He turned around and looked at Lin Ran who was still trotting all the way. He shook his head: "I told you to leave. If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. .”
…………
Ten minutes later, Lin Ran had already carried Sarah to the other side of the lake.
Sure enough, by the lake, there were more than twenty corpses lying strewn about.
Judging from the clothes, these corpses were roughly divided into two groups.
One group wore gray clothes with the word "Yuanheng" embroidered on the left chest.
The other group was wearing black clothes with the words "Listen to the Rain" written on them.
"It's Yuanheng Sect and Ting Yuxuan." Sara said directly.
Lin Ran gave her a slightly surprised look: "Sister, you live in the palace all day long, do you know this much about the world of the East?"
"I know a little bit." Sara didn't explain too much, but looked at the corpses on the ground and said, "Only three of Ting Yuxuan's people died, and the rest are from the Yuanheng sect...
…Both sides
The difference in strength is quite large. "
Lin Ran looked at the wounds on the corpse on the ground and said, "It seems that Ting Yuxuan specializes in assassinations. Most of the Yuanheng sect should have died in silent assassinations. They were unprepared. He lost his life."
"Well, His Highness the Prince does have good eyesight." Sara said: "Ting Yuxuan is indeed mainly engaged in assassination. Although this sect was born in Chengzhou, it carries out assassination missions across the country, and assassins are all over Donghua... Even some of Ting Yuxuan’s killers are still taking orders from mission unions in the West.”
"It's interesting." Lin Ran looked at the bodies of Ting Yuxuan and the others and found that they were all killed with one knife. It was obvious that someone stronger than them had killed them instantly.
"The old man advised you to leave, so what do you mean?" Sara asked.
"Since the matter involves radicals and conservatives, we must get involved." Lin Ran said, "Even for Blue Star, I can't let Donghua's Jianghu world be pulled into the radical camp."
In fact, Lin Ran's goal is now very clear. He came to the distant planet to stop the radicals in this world.
By the way... clarify your identity again and find some old friends.
Therefore, this sudden change in the situation in Chengzhou Jianghu is a good thing for him.
Sarah Sarah is not a shy person. She chuckled and said, "Looks like I'm going to have an exciting vacation like never before."
"I will protect you." Lin Ran said.
"I also have peak A-level strength, and I may even be able to enter S-level at any time." Sarah blinked and smiled, her endless amorous feelings flowing out, and said, "How about it, didn't you see it?"
Lin Ran smiled and said: "You can see the S-level figure, but you really can't see the S-level strength."
"You, my little brother, are no bigger than your sister," Sara said.
However, at this time, she frowned slightly.
And Lin Ran turned around suddenly!
He stretched out his hand, and a surging source of power was waved out!
Because, there are more than a dozen powerful black arrows, shooting from the top of the mountain a hundred meters away at extremely high speeds!
The sound of breaking through the sky is extremely harsh!
boom!
The source of power surged forward, instantly knocking out the dozens of arrows from the arrow path, causing them to deviate far away from the target!
However, even though they were hit by Lin Ran's source power, those arrows still contained extremely strong power, and some even penetrated the stone when they landed!
[In view of the general environment,
"This is a powered crossbow. The bow is equipped with a micro-engine, which can provide great driving force." Sarah knew that Lin Ran's Blue Star probably did not have such a thing, so she explained from the side.
"It's very lethal and has a very long range." Lin Ran said, "This thing is pretty good. It's more than enough to deal with bare-handed A-level warriors."
Having said this, he narrowed his eyes with a dangerous light in his eyes: "These guys want people's lives without asking. They are simply looking for death."
"So, we have been given the opportunity to watch the battle between the alliance leaders." Sarah pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance.
Hundreds of figures in gray clothes were already shooting towards the lake from the top of the mountain!
The leader shouted: "Whoever dares to hurt my Yuanheng sect disciple is seeking death!"
As he spoke, he had already drawn out his long sword, and a cold light struck Lin Ran directly from the air!
"How stupid."
Lin Ran shook his head, swayed, and disappeared instantly!
That sword light also came to nothing!
The next second, he had appeared in front of the middle-aged man at the head!
Snapped!
Lin Ran raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.
The face of a man who has seen a ghost!
The latter's body, which was still charging forward, completely lost control and flew dozens of meters like a cannonball, plowing a deep and long ditch on the hillside!
