Behind the prosperous downtown, there is a small city gate.
There are few people here and it is quiet. Even the soldiers guarding the gate are a little different from before. They are wearing bloody armor and have thick face shields. They are full of killing intent and make people dare not approach easily.
Here is the inner city of Huangcheng.
It is also a real city gate in a sense.
"Brother, you are here."
Ahead, Xin Ling stood under the dilapidated and depressed inner city gate, tilting her head and smiling, still looking so thin and nimble.
Here, she no longer wears the common gray cloak and night clothes, but in casual clothes, like a little girl from the neighbor's house, easy-going and a little cute.
"You've been waiting for a long time."
Xu Yue walked over, not surprised that the other party knew his whereabouts.
You don't need to think about it to know that Fu Liang must have informed Huangcheng.
At the gate of the city, a group of soldiers wearing face shields watched Xu Yue approaching, but they did not stop him, but let him go.
After all, there is no need to think about the person who the wild girl can call her brother.
"It's okay, let's go quickly, my mother-in-law is impatient!"
Xin Ling smiled, and regardless of other people's opinions, he stepped forward, pulled Xu Yue, and walked quickly into the city.
This action immediately aroused the side glances of all the soldiers guarding the city. The only eyes on their faces that were not covered by their face shields revealed a rare shock.
Because in the eyes of these people, although Xu Yue, the leader of the Immortal Alliance, was a big shot, he could not move their iron-hard hearts just by virtue of his status. But Xin Ling was different. The soldiers could not imagine that that person, who had always been cold and ruthless, The wild girl who was difficult for outsiders to approach could actually show such a side of Xiaojiabiyu to a man.
boom!
The two of them crossed the arched doorway of the inner city. In an instant, several powerful spiritual thoughts came from inside the deserted city and swept across their bodies. The terrifying fluctuations made people feel heart-stopping.
It was a peerless expert in the deserted city who was testing everyone who entered the city to determine if there was any problem with their identity.
After a while, the spiritual thoughts faded away and disappeared without a trace. Xu Yue could only vaguely feel the location of the source of these spiritual thoughts. He looked at several places deep in the inner city with a smile.
They are all old acquaintances.
"Brother, let's go home first!"
On the side, Xin Ling pulled Xu Yue and continued to move forward.
It has to be said that in her hometown, she is indeed much more cheerful than in the outside world, and she is more like a girl than the decisive and decisive genius in the deserted city.
"Uh, um, sister, I want to first..." Xu Yue looked deep into the inner city, feeling a little confused.
"No! My mother-in-law said that even if you come here for a big deal, you must go home to eat first!"
Xin Ling turned her head, smiled softly on her pretty face without makeup, showing a very playful look, and said softly: "Old Chang said so too."
"Ah, Mr. Chang said that too? Okay then..."
In the end, Xu Yue smiled helplessly, put aside those annoying things, and followed Xin Ling towards her home with peace of mind.
The scenery in the inner city is completely different from that in the outer city. To describe it in four words, it is desolate.
The sky is still filled with thick dark clouds, oppressive and dark, and the ground is covered with dry leaves, occasionally fluttering in the wind.
The road here is undulating, with stairs and downhills sometimes, high hills and low dams. The roads are also very narrow and can only accommodate a few people walking on them. They are winding and crisscrossed. Occasionally, you can see figures walking by in the distance. When you want to pursue them, you can't find them. No trace again.
The dilapidated and short houses are scattered on both sides of the road. There may be a small vegetable field in front of the door, or a dead tree hanging with a white cloth, or even a tomb without a monument, sitting quietly Next to the house, there are altars filled with fruits and ancient incense that are still burning wisps of smoke. They can be seen everywhere.
This scene is exactly the same as what Fei Yi saw in the ancient book.
And this is just a housing area. Farther away, deep in the inner city, you can vaguely see towering city walls, military camps rising from the ground, complex trenches, solid fortresses, and if there are any. The war flag of Wu is fluttering in the wind.
That's the real front line.
"Alas, this place is still so dilapidated. I have suggested before that this place should be renovated, but Chang Lao and the others did not allow it." Xu Yue curled his lips and said while looking around at the bleak scene around him.
"This place was built by the first batch of soldiers stationed in Huangcheng. Even now, it is where the Qianguan soldiers and their families live. How can I just renovate it for you?" Xin Ling smiled. She has lived in this house and farmhouse since she was a child. Running barefoot, there is deep emotion.
"Or, brother, do you think this place is too shabby and you can't get used to it?" Xin Ling's voice was lower, with a hint of worry.
"No way."
However, Xu Yue waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: "No matter how shabby it is, it is still our home! Besides, I have lived in worse places than this, don't think about the ones that have some!"
"Hehe, that's good! Let's hurry up, my mother-in-law must be impatient!"
Xin Ling smiled happily. All her previous doubts disappeared. She led Xu Yue through the house path quickly. After turning around several times, she saw a yard with several large locust trees at the door. She gradually slowed down. .
With a smile on his face, Xu Yue looked at the peaceful courtyard under the shade of trees in front of him, feeling emotional and nostalgic.
He once lived here for a long time. It was his second home in the Immortal Realm after the Lingjian Sect.
"Boy, you're back."
Suddenly, an old voice came from the side. Xu Yue looked and saw an old man with wrinkled skin sitting on a wooden chair in the earthen house on the right, holding a pipe in his hand, exposing his dark old teeth, and facing Smile to yourself.
"Li, Uncle Li?" Xu Yue was surprised and hurriedly stepped forward to bow.
This is the neighbor of Xin Ling's family, a simple Tianxuan Realm expert and a veteran who retired from Qianguan. Now his life is approaching and he is retiring here.
"I just saw Xin Yatou running out in a hurry. It turned out that she was going to pick up your kid."
Li Ting shook the cigarette ashes in his hand, glanced at the small courtyard not far away, where the smoke was lingering, and said with a smile: "Okay, just come back... Go back quickly, old man, I have already smelled the fragrance in the courtyard. The rice is delicious."
"Hey, Uncle Li, I'll take my brother away first!"
"Uh, Uncle Li, I'll come see you when I have time!"
Seeing the two young men in front of him leaving quickly, full of youthful vitality, Li Ting nodded cheerfully, and then continued to smoke his pipe while sighing at the beauty of life.
"Aniang! We are back!"
Xin Ling's cheerful voice sounded in the small courtyard, and the smile on Xu Yue's face never stopped. He raised his head and looked at the leaves of the locust tree branches moving in the wind, walked into the courtyard, and then came to the door and smelled Breathing the long-lost smell of rice and looking at the busy figure wearing an apron, my eyes became wet unconsciously.
"Godmother, I'm back."
