Ling Yun and Li Haoyang were escorted into Black Wind Castle by four guards.
Outside the meeting hall, Cui Hailong was chatting and laughing politely with a middle-aged man in a white robe. At this time, the leader of the four guards escorting Li Haoyang and Ling Yun quickly ran over and knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped. Said: "Leader!"
Cui Hailong asked: "What's going on?" The guard glanced sideways at the middle-aged man next to the leader. Cui Hailong immediately understood and said: "There are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, just say it!"
The guard hesitated and said: "Master, my subordinates just brought them in for inspection and found two people sneaking around on the opposite hillside. They said they were from Jinling City, so my subordinates brought them back and asked the leader to apologize. !”
Cui Hailong turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man beside him. The middle-aged man also turned his head and looked at Cui Hailong as if nothing had happened.
Cui Hailong hesitated a little, paused, and then said to the guard: "Since you are from Jinling City, you are a guest, so bring him in quickly!"
The guard was a little stunned for a moment and said hurriedly: "Yes, leader!" After saying that, he stood up and hurried out, calling for others to untie Li Haoyang and Ling Yun and return the swords. After a while, the two were brought to the leader.
Cui Hailong saw that the two men were in a state of disgrace, with disheveled hair, and their bodies covered with mud. He glanced at the guard who brought them over again, and the anger on his face flashed away. He raised his hands and said to the middle-aged man beside him: "That's right. The people brought by the city lord should go back with the city lord. If you offend, please forgive me!"
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun hurriedly explained: "No, we..."
Before they finished speaking, they saw the middle-aged man glance at them sideways, and the two of them were so suppressed by the man's eyes that they did not dare to speak anymore.
The man pursed his lips and smiled, but did not answer. He cupped his hands towards Cui Hailong and said, "Yang is here today, and I am honored to be received by the leader personally. Yang will say goodbye and ask the leader to stay! Farewell!" Then he lifted his feet and walked outside Black Wind Castle.
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun were about to turn around and explain to the people in Black Wind Castle, but they were blocked by several guards. The guard leader who had captured them made a gesture of invitation to them. The two had no choice but to follow them out of Black Wind Castle.
Cui Hailong stood there, watching their leaving figures, sneered, and turned back to his residence.
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun followed the middle-aged man out of the Black Wind Castle gate. The middle-aged man walked along the road towards Jinling City without any intention of stopping. Li Haoyang and Ling Yun wanted to talk to each other, but they were suppressed by the man's aura and did not dare to say anything.
Li Haoyang thought to himself that he couldn't go to Black Wind Castle. He had to go back to Jinling City anyway, so he might as well follow him all the way back.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, several people came to a dense forest.
Ling Yun gently pulled the corner of Li Haoyang's clothes. Li Haoyang looked back at Ling Yun. Ling Yun leaned into Li Haoyang's ear and whispered softly: "Brother Yang, we don't know who he is. How about we stop following him and leave?" Let's go back through the south gate!" Li Haoyang agreed, nodded and said: "You're right, let's go!"
As soon as they turned around, they saw a group of people emerging from the dense forest, blocking their way. These people were holding swords, and there were several horses and two carriages in the crowd. Looking at this posture, there were forty or fifty people.
While the two were wondering, they saw these people walking behind them one after another, as if they were not aiming at them.
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun turned around and saw that the middle-aged man in white robe had his back to them and stopped. The group of people who appeared in the dense forest formed a big circle around him, raised their hands and shouted in unison: "I see the city lord!"
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun were so shocked that they opened their mouths wide and could not say a word. They did not expect that the person in front of them was the Lord of Jinling City. Although they had grown up in the mountains and had never been exposed to the outside world, this huge city of Jinling actually belonged to one person. This alone was enough to shock them, plus the two of them. What they saw and heard in and outside the city for a while, and thinking about the strength of the man in front of them, made them stunned.
The city lord didn't even look back, he just said softly: "Go back to the city!" The group of people shouted: "Yes, city lord!"
The leader waved his hand, and everyone quickly lined up into two teams. Two carriages stopped in the middle of the team, each with a driver leading the horses.
After the formation of the team, the leader trotted quickly and came behind Jinling City Lord. He bowed his hands respectfully and said: "City Lord, the chariot and horses are ready. City Lord, please get in!"
The Lord of Jinling City turned around and hurried to the first carriage. He glanced back at Li Haoyang and Ling Yun, winked at the leader, then climbed onto the carriage and got inside.
The leader understood, patted the horse's back, and asked everyone to move forward slowly. Then, he called the two guards at the end of the team, whispered a few words to them, and followed the team.
The two guards at the end of the team held knives and walked quickly towards Li Haoyang and Ling Yun.
Arriving in front of the two men, they waved their swords and smiled evilly at Li Haoyang and Ling Yun. Li Haoyang blocked Ling Yun behind him and looked at them warily, but he showed no sign of timidity.
Li Haoyang said to them: "What do you want to do?" The two guards saw that Li Haoyang was tall and strong, and they hesitated, but they did not stop. I guess they were confident enough in themselves and did not take Li Haoyang seriously. inside.
When the distance between the four of them was less than a foot away, the two of them stopped and said to Li Haoyang: "Hey, what do you want to do? Of course I will send you to see the King of Hell!"
Li Haoyang pulled out the big knife in his hand, held it across his chest, and said to them: "My two brothers have no enmity with you two, so don't mess around!"
One of them looked around and then said: "This place is also a treasure of Feng Shui. You two can just die here!" The other person said: "Stop talking nonsense to them, come on!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them raised their swords and struck at Li Haoyang. Li Haoyang dodged and Ling Yun also dodged in the other direction. With just this dodge, Li Haoyang and Ling Yun were separated by the two Jinling City guards.
When the two guards saw that they couldn't take down the two boys, they each intercepted one of them, facing each other with their swords in front.
When Ling Yun saw this, he also drew his sword and placed it in front of him in an attempt to protect himself. However, he was not as calm as Li Haoyang. Facing the two vicious guards in front of him, his body trembled slightly. The two guards looked at each other, and then swung their swords to attack Li Haoyang and Ling Yun. After all, Li Haoyang had never practiced martial arts, so he didn't know how to fight back. He just dodged to avoid the opponent's blade.
Suddenly, Ling Yun screamed. Li Haoyang was worried that Ling Yun was in danger, so he swung his knife and chopped off the guard in front of him.
The guard didn't expect that Li Haoyang dared to fight back. He raised his knife to block Li Haoyang's knife. Who would have thought that Li Haoyang was so anxious that he used all his strength to strike with the knife. With a "dang" sound, the guard's knife broke into two pieces. , the head was also split in half by the blade. Then a burst of blood spurted out from the top of his head, and with a "plop", he fell into a pool of blood.
Li Haoyang was also shocked by the power of his sword. Before he could react, another guard saw this and cried hoarsely: "Brother!" As he said that, he accelerated the speed of the sword in his hand and pointed towards Ling Yun. Swinging away, Ling Yun swung his sword in panic to block it.
After several confrontations, the guard's sword was actually broken into two pieces, and Ling Yun's sword edge slashed from the guard's right shoulder to the man's neck. A stream of blood spurted out, and the guard's head tilted to one side, and he instantly saw the King of Hell.
Ling Yun had no time to dodge, and was splashed with the guard's blood. He was stunned on the spot, and the hands holding the knife kept shaking.
Li Haoyang shouted "Ling Yun!" He rushed over and held his shoulders. Ling Yun then slumped to the ground holding the sword. Li Haoyang put away the knife and wiped the blood stains on Ling Yun's face with his sleeves. While asking: "Ling Yun, are you okay?"
Ling Yun's eyes were dull and the corners of his mouth were still twitching. Li Haoyang carefully checked his body and found no wounds. All the blood stains must have been from the guard. Li Haoyang's tense heart immediately relaxed. He comforted Ling Yun and helped him. He put away the sword in his hand.
The Lord of Jinling City was sitting in the carriage. When he saw no report from his subordinates, he called the leading guard and said: "Go and see what's going on!" The leading guard responded: "Yes!" and quickly walked back with his sword in hand.
When they returned to that place, Li Haoyang and Ling Yun were nowhere to be seen, only the two guards he sent lying in a pool of blood. He secretly thought: "No!" He hurried forward and saw Li Haoyang supporting Ling Yun and walking quickly towards the Black Wind Castle. The guard shouted: "Stop!" Just as he was about to catch up, he heard Jinling coming from behind. The city lord said in a gentle yet loud voice: "Stop chasing!"
The leader of the guards stopped, turned back to the Lord of Jinling City, cupped his hands and said: "City Lord, they killed our brothers, why did the Lord let them go?" The Lord of Jinling City turned his face slightly and looked down at the two corpses on the ground. Said: "It's interesting!" After saying that, he ignored the guard leader's words, turned around and headed in the direction of the carriage.
The leader of the guards took a few steps forward and said with a puzzled face: "But, City Lord!" As soon as he finished speaking, the Lord of Jinling City was heard to say lightly: "Bury them two!" With that, he disappeared into the dense forest. middle.
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun stumbled along the path back to Wuliting. It was almost dusk and the sky was getting darker. Ling Yun had also recovered from the scene just now, but he still had lingering fears.
He nervously said to Li Haoyang: "Brother Yang, I just killed someone, I killed someone!" Li Haoyang comforted: "They want to kill us two, just treat it like killing a wolf. It's okay, Ling Yun, everything is over." It’s over!” Ling Yun said: “If we kill their people, they will definitely not let us go!”
Li Haoyang straightened Ling Yun's collar and said, "Ling Yun, don't be afraid. Brother Yang will protect you. It'll be okay! Let's go back first and change our clothes." Ling Yun nodded and said, "Yeah!"
When they returned to Wang Damiao's home, it was Wang Damiao's grandfather who opened the door. Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, he saw that the two of them were covered in blood. He asked in surprise, "What are you two?" Wang Damiao walked out of the house and said to them. : "Brother Yang, Ling Yun, you went out to buy things, why did you come back so late?"
Li Haoyang said softly to Qiu Hai: "It's a long story, let's talk about it after we get in!"
Qiu Hai knew that this matter could not be made public, so he whispered: "Come in quickly!" After that, he led the two of them into the courtyard and closed the door.
Wang Damiao walked towards them, and when he saw the appearance of the two of them, he covered his mouth in shock. After she reacted, she hurried to Li Haoyang, checked him up and down, and asked while checking: "Brother Yang, are you not injured?" Li Haoyang gently pushed her hand away, straightened his clothes, and said: " I'm fine!" After saying that, he followed Qiu Hai and walked into the house.
The two of them took a bath and put on clean clothes. Qiu Hai took the bloody clothes to the kitchen, stuffed them into the stove and burned them.
Several people were sitting around the small square table in the kitchen. Qiu Hai asked, "Tell me, didn't you go to Jinling City to buy things? What's with the blood on you two? What happened?"
Li Haoyang replied: "Today my two brothers went to Black Wind Castle to say goodbye to a friend..." Before he finished speaking, Qiu Hai asked: "Black Wind Castle? How come you have friends from Black Wind Castle? "
Li Haoyang replied: "It's a long story. He was a friend we met when we first arrived in Jinling City. He has now become the elder of Black Wind Castle for some reason, so we thought about saying goodbye to him. Unexpectedly, we failed. Outside Black Wind Castle, we were mistaken by the patrolling guards as people from Jinling City. They tied us up without thinking about anything and entered Black Wind Castle, where we happened to meet the Lord of Jinling City visiting. At that time, he was about to After leaving, without waiting for our explanation, we were regarded as people from Jinling City. We followed the Lord of Jinling City out of Black Wind Castle. After a while of tea, a group of people came out of the dense forest. Now that I think about it, it should be Jinling City. Guards!" As he spoke, he picked up the tea cup on the table and drank all the tea in it. Then, he said with some hatred: "Who knew that the lord of Jinling City was so vicious, and sent him without saying a word? Two guards wanted to kill us, Ling Yun and I were helpless and tried our best to resist, but the two men pressed forward step by step, determined to kill us, so in panic, we accidentally killed them both!"
After Li Haoyang finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Hai. Qiu Hai asked with some confusion: "Although you two are strong and strong, you have never practiced martial arts. The guards of Jinling City are very skilled in martial arts, but you two killed them?" Li Haoyang replied: "Speaking of this, I have to thank Uncle Tiezhu for making these two swords for us. They seem to be ordinary things, but they can cut iron like clay."
Qiu Hai asked with some surprise: "Did Tiezhu give you your swords?" Li Haoyang said: "Yes, it was only because of these two swords that my two brothers were able to come back alive today!"
As he spoke, Li Haoyang took his big sword, took it out of its sheath, touched the edge of the sword and said to Qiu Hai: "Look, he cut off the guard's sword with one blow. This sword does only have some gaps on the blade. After sharpening it, Even if you sharpen it, it will still be a good sword. This is truly a treasured sword, and Ling Yun's sword is the same!"
Qiu Hai stepped forward and took a look. Sure enough, the blade was almost intact, but there was no look of surprise on his face. It seemed that he had expected it. Instead, he asked: "You killed the guards of Jinling City?" , then why is the Lord of Jinling City willing to let you go?"
Li Haoyang replied: "We didn't think much about it. We were in a hurry to escape, so I picked up Ling Yun and ran back. We took a small path and got back here!"
At this point, Qiu Hai stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, as if thinking about something. Li Haoyang and the other three turned to look at him curiously.
After a while, Qiu Hai said to Li Haoyang and Ling Yun with some urgency: "You two killed people in Jinling City, so Yang Zhenwei will definitely not let you go easily. If he knows that you are living here, he will definitely come to my door. I'm old and have seen some storms, but it doesn't matter. Damiao's legs and feet have just been reattached and are not fully recovered yet. He can't walk a long way. You two pack up and run away overnight. Don't appear in Jinling City's sphere of influence again. .”
Ling Yun had completely calmed down at this time. After hearing this, he stood up and said: "No, man, we caused the trouble ourselves, how can we just walk away and leave the danger to you!"
Li Haoyang also stood up and said: "Yes, we are new here. Fortunately, grandpa took us in and entertained us. Now that we have caused such a big disaster, how can we escape alone and ignore the safety of your grandpa and grandson?"
Qiu Hai waved his hand and said: "Hey, you can't say that. Although I am old, I am still a man in the world. I have some martial arts and can still protect myself. Da Miao has been with me for nearly ten years and has learned some skills. Besides, I have been guarding Black Wind Castle for the past few years and have some connections with Black Wind Castle. Jinling City will not do anything to me for a while."
Li Haoyang and Ling Yun insisted: "No, we have to go together, we can't leave you alone!"
Qiu Hai's face darkened and he said, "Why are these two kids so stubborn? I told you two to run away, why didn't you listen?"
Li Haoyang said: "Grandpa, it's not that we don't want to escape, but we can't cause trouble to you just because we escaped. If you are implicated because of my two brothers, what danger will it bring to you? How can we survive in the world? That's it. The Lord of Jinling City has come to our door and wants to kill or hack him into pieces. My two brothers are willing to take their lives and I will never harm you."
Qiu Hai waved his hands helplessly and said: "That's it, that's it. Since you insist on staying, let's take it one step at a time and see what Yang Zhenwei will do." After hearing this, Li Haoyang and Ling Yun gritted their teeth and nodded fiercely. nodded.
At the end of the story, in the Black Wind Castle, four guards stood outside the meeting hall with swords on their waists. In the meeting hall, Cui Hailong, the new leader of the Crescent Sect, was discussing something with Yu Boyang, the Zuo protector.
Just listen to Yu Boyang ask: "What does the leader think of today's events?" Cui Hailong asked: "Did the teacher mean what Yang Zhenwei said?" Yu Boyang nodded.
Cui Hailong's face suddenly darkened and he said: "Hmph, that guy Yang Zhenwei is so bullying. He really thinks that there is no one in our Crescent Sect. He says he hopes that the Crescent Sect and the Jinling City families can live in harmony, but secretly he has Extremely sinister intentions.”
