"Just come, Master, I'm afraid you're a crazy woman!" As he spoke, the aura around Jiang Jian had already condensed into flames.
"Long Yu, get out of the way!" Baili Xingyu also drew his sword and stared at Jiang Jiandao.
"Huh?" Long Yu frowned, "Why do you have to decide the winner?"
Jiang Jian and Baili Xingyu did not answer, but stared at each other, and then expanded their fields, and the two fields strangled each other.
Long Yu tapped the joint of his index finger with his thumb and expanded his territory instantly!
The moment Long Yu's domain unfolded, the domains of Baili Xingyu and Jiang Jian were torn into pieces as if Mianyang had encountered a brutal beast.
"Ah?" Baili Xingyu felt that the power of Long Yu's domain was more than twice as strong as before.
"Boss, boss, I was wrong. You need to close the territory quickly. I just won't fight this crazy woman." After Jiang Jian noticed Long Yu's slightly angry look, he immediately apologized and admitted his mistake, and took back his dagger.
Baili Xingyu asked in confusion: "Why are you protecting this person?"
Long Yu said: "This man has just joined us and is now considered a member of the team. There should be no further discord. If there is a fight, you can decide the ranking when you get to Lingyi City. Now you must go to Lingyi City as soon as possible."
When Baili Xingyu heard this, he stamped his feet angrily, "How can you believe him so easily!"
"Huh?" Long Yu, who was sitting on horseback, heard the words and looked at Jiang Jian beside him. "That's what she said. What proof do you have?"
Jiang Jian came to his senses and remembered that it was inappropriate to join a caravan without taking a blood oath of heaven: "Huh?! I will take a blood oath of heaven..."
After Jiang Jian made the blood oath of heaven, although Baili Xingyu found Jiang Jian displeased as always, he couldn't find any other reason: When we get to Lingyi City, I want to teach you a lesson for this bastard who doesn't know the heights of the world, who robs homes and homes, and talks nonsense. Boy...
Jiang Jian kept pestering Long Yu on the road, asking questions.
Finally, the snow has not stopped, and the city has appeared!
"Here we are, finally here!"
"Boss, look, we are coming!"
…
Everyone in Zhang Ranling's caravan cheered, and some of them had excited tears falling down both sides of their cheeks.
Long Yu's worried heart was relieved, and he visually inspected that the area outside Lingyi City was more than five times that of Xuecheng: "It's true, it's not easy."
Long Yu said again: "Jiang Jian, this Lingyi City is really magnificent!"
"Hehehe, boss, Lingyicheng is one of the three border towns of the human-monster clan!"
"One of the three major towns?" This is the first time Long Yu has heard of this.
"One leader, five defenses and three important towns, this is Spring City in Snow State, which is famous for its cultivation resources!"
During the rest of the journey, Jiang Jian described everything related to Lingyicheng in detail:
"This Lingyi City is located at the junction of Selangor and Yangzhou. The city is different from other places in Selangor. When there is heavy snow outside the city, there is no snow falling in the city. The roots of elixirs and herbs are planted in the spiritual fields, and the spiritual fields of Lingyi City are placed among the entire human race. It is also one of the best in dozens of states and is one of the top dispensaries in the Medicine Valley. Every year, royal families come here to buy elixirs and herbs..."
As he approached Lingyicheng, Long Yu felt even more that Xuecheng and Lingyicheng were not on the same level.
This city stands among thousands of snow-covered peaks. The closer you get to the city, the temperature gradually rises. The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the city makes it surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, like a fairyland on earth.
The city is surrounded by a wide moat, the surface of the river is sparkling and crystal clear. The ends of both sides of the city wall cannot be seen. They tower into the clouds, like a natural barrier, guarding the mortals and monks in the city.
According to Jiang Jian, there are eight huge gates in Lingyi City. Each gate is guarded by blue and small stone lions, which looks solemn and majestic.
Long Yudan looked through the hundred-foot city gate: the streets in the city were well-proportioned, the bluestone roads were wide and flat, and ancient street trees stood on both sides, with green leaves swaying gently, as if telling the vicissitudes of thousands of years.
But there were no pedestrians on the streets, only soldiers coming and going.
When he noticed the deep dents on the wall of Lingyi City, Long Yu felt more clearly that the history of Lingyi City must be traced back to endless years. As a resource town, it has experienced countless baptisms of war and changes over the years.
However, neither the flames of war nor the erosion of time can erase the city's unique charm. The buildings in the city all have unique styles, ranging from simple wooden houses to magnificent mansions with high eaves and exquisite exquisiteness.
The culture in the city is also rich and colorful, with many fascinating traditional customs and delicacies. When the snow season in Selangor comes every year, a grand lantern festival will be held on the largest lake in the center of Lingyi City. Various lanterns are reflected on the lake, making it beautiful. The special delicacy in the city - "Lingyi Cake" is even more popular among monks all over the world. Its crispy and delicious taste has left countless monks with endless aftertaste.
In general, although Lingyi City has gone through the flames of war, it is still a fairy city full of mystery and romance. Here, the past and present are intertwined, and tradition and innovation are blended together to outline a unique fairy tale.
This city is not only a place to live, but also a starting point for dreams. Countless brave monks set out here to embark on their great journey. The history and culture of Lingyi City inspire their courage and wisdom, making them fearless in the pursuit of their dreams.
But just as he was approaching the city gate...
"Stop, swordsmen are not allowed in!"
When Long Yu brought the caravan to the city gate, the two leading soldiers came up and placed their spears in front of Long Yu.
Seeing this, Jiang Jian was extremely confused and said, "What happened recently? Why aren't swordsmen allowed to enter the city?"
"I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be you, the bitch who molested my daughter! Get out of here quickly, or I'll throw you into death row!"
Long Yu got off his horse a long time ago and was puzzled when he saw the soldiers guarding him like this. Then he stopped in front of Jiang Jian, took out the caravan token given by Zhang Ranling and said: "Please, sir, please pass this to the city lord. I believe he will let me wait in."
"Haha, what kind of caravan can the city lord let you in?" The leading soldier arrogantly handed over something to Long Yu.
He glanced down and immediately froze in place, unable to help but tremble all over: "Linglong Chamber of Commerce? It's Linglong Chamber of Commerce!"
"Please wait a moment, sir. We are under military orders and have no choice but to inform the city lord." Another soldier reacted quickly and immediately withdrew his spear and saluted.
This scene made Jiang Jian sneer: "What the hell, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, it's not the same as before..."
"Please give this jade pendant to the city lord if you please." Long Yu said and handed the jade pendant to the soldier.
The soldier lowered his head repeatedly, turned around and ran towards the city lord's mansion.
"The villain is too blind to see the mountains. I'd like some adults to come here and take a break. We can't see the city lord directly. It will take some time. I'm so rude. Please forgive me for being rude." Another soldier was at this time. But he was extremely affectionate and had no temper at all.
"Where's the wine? Our boss loves wine. How can we rest without wine? Why don't you bring some wine?" Jiang Jian also shouted at the soldiers.
"Go and get it now, go and get it now." Although the soldier disliked Jiang Jian in every way, he didn't dare to show his anger at this time and immediately went to get the drink.
After the wine comes...
"Boss, hehehe, you drink first." Jiang Jian filled the bottle with wine, swallowed as hard as he could, and handed it to Long Yu.
Long Yu rejected Jiang Jian and said, "I won't drink. Drinking will cause trouble. You can just drink. There is no need to be polite. After you finish drinking, tell me what is going on between you and Mr. Lin's daughter?"
When it comes to this matter, not only Long Yu is interested, but Baili Xingyu and Can Yue also want to hear Jiang Jian's romantic story.
Jiang Jian had half a mouthful of wine and choked when he heard Long Yu's words behind him. He waved his sleeve to wipe the drink from the corner of his mouth: "Ahem, cough, cough, this... I will talk to you about this later, boss."
After that, he started to drink wine contentedly, and every time he took a sip he would say: "It's such a good wine, I haven't tasted it for a long time, I'm so greedy..."
Seeing Jiang Jian's drunken and hungry look, everyone else was amused.
Before Jiang Jian finished his second bottle of wine, everyone heard a hearty laugh coming from the direction of the city gate: "Ran Ling, you finally came to see me!"
Long Yu stood up but froze on the spot. Thinking of Zhang Ranling who died covered in blood, the sadness in his heart emerged again.
A middle-aged man wearing purple-black armor appeared at the city gate and immediately ran towards Long Yu.
Behind him, several soldiers wearing golden armor shouted: "City Lord, slow down, be careful of danger!"
Everyone in the caravan knew that this was Lin Guorui.
When he saw that the leader was Long Yu instead of Zhang Ranling, Lin Guorui hurriedly looked among the crowd, but could not find Zhang Ranling.
"Who are you, where is Ran Ling?" Lin Guorui came to Long Yu and asked.
Long Yu lowered his head and did not look directly at Lin Guorui. When Long Yu heard the three words Zhang Ranling, he thought of Zhang Ranling's last appearance before his death.
Everyone in the caravan lowered their heads, and some couldn't help but cry. Jiang Jian didn't know the whole story, but he didn't dare to drink anymore and hid behind the caravan carriage.
Seeing this scene, Lin Guorui had already guessed it, but he couldn't believe it: "You are asking, where is Ran Ling?"
no respond......
Lin Guorui grabbed Long Yu's collar with both hands, raised it up and said loudly: "See you are the leader, why don't you answer me, where is my brother?!"
But when he looked into Long Yu's eyes, what Lin Guorui felt was not fear, but grief.
Lin Guorui couldn't help but feel heavier. He left Long Yu and saw a familiar figure in the caravan. He immediately strode forward to the monk and said, "Hai Laoer, where is my brother Ran Lingren?"
Hearing this, Hai Laoer finally couldn't help crying: "Master Lin, Master Zhang, he, he..."
Lin Guorui said anxiously: "What's wrong with him? You should tell him that he is mute!"
"Master Lin, Master Zhang was attacked. In order to protect us, he... died!" Hai Laoer instantly knelt on the ground, his whole body trembling, and he cried loudly.
When Lin Guorui heard this, he couldn't help but take a few steps back. His vision went dark for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his body couldn't help but tremble, his eyes were red, and tears rolled in his eyes, but they never fell.
Lin Guorui couldn't believe that the person who had spent countless hours with him, experienced ups and downs together, and was still smiling by his side, had left him forever today.
Seeing that Lin Guorui was unstable, two soldier captains immediately helped Lin Guorui on both sides. Lin Guorui stared at Hai Laoer and asked in disbelief: "What did you just say..."
At this moment, he would rather he guessed wrong or heard wrongly...
"Master Zhang was attacked at the bottom of the valley. In order to protect us, he burned his soul and fought to the last moment!" Hai Laoer was already in tears and kept kowtowing to Lin Guorui, "Master Lin, Master Zhang, let's go!"
"Ah!" Lin Guorui could no longer hold on and fell backwards. Fortunately, the two captains of soldiers held him up, otherwise he would have fallen in front of the city.
Lin Guorui was struggling painfully in his heart. He could not accept this cruel thing. Lin Guorui clenched his fists and his nails dug deeply into his flesh, but he could no longer feel any pain.
The soldiers in Lingyi City and the monks who had been following Zhang Ranling in the caravan all knew that Zhang Ranling and Lin Guorui had been friends for hundreds of years.
Their friendship was as bright as the stars, but now it suddenly disappeared like a shooting star. How could he believe this fact?
Lin Guorui shook his head as hard as he could, trying to get the news out of his mind, but Zhang Ranling's voice and smile always appeared in front of his eyes, reminding him of this cold fact like irony. His heart seemed to be held tightly by an invisible hand, and every beat would bring a burst of heartbreaking pain.
Lin Guorui stared at the sky, but his eyes were empty and blurred. He murmured in a low voice: "Ran Ling, Ran Ling..." Although his voice was small, it was full of endless grief and helplessness. The moment his friend left, part of his world seemed to collapse. He felt like a rootless duckweed, not knowing where he was going to float.
No one dared to interrupt or interrupt at this time.
After a long time, Lin Guorui asked Hai Laoer in a deep voice: "Who is this person? How come he has his jade pendant?"
Hai Laoer told everything about what he had encountered on the way.
Hearing that Long Yu was entrusted by Zhang Ranling to escort Zhang Ranling's cargo here, Lin Guorui immediately expressed his gratitude to Long Yu.
"Ran Ling's friend is my friend, Lin Guorui. I was rude just now. I hope Brother Long won't take it to heart, please." Lin Guorui grabbed Long Yu and walked towards the Lin Mansion.
Lin Guorui knew that Zhang Ranling definitely had other motives for asking Long Yu to come to him.
