Chapter 71: Tongcheng Black Banner Armor Commander
Tongcheng is a city in the State of Lu and one of the cities closest to the ancient forest.
Because the ancient forest is filled with many spiritual beasts, many mainland cultivators choose to come to the ancient forest to practice.
Many rare treasures are found in this ancient forest, so many mercenary groups venture into the ancient forest. Of course, the danger is also quite high. The deeper they go, the stronger the spirit beasts become.
As one of the cities closest to the ancient forest, Tongcheng is naturally a rest stop for many mercenary groups. Therefore, many cultivators want to go to the ancient forest. Tongcheng is a necessary transit station where they can prepare the necessary things.
And because there are so many practitioners, Tongcheng is also very lively, and its prosperity is not inferior to other big cities.
Sometimes, some auctions will be held in Tongcheng, and the rare treasures obtained by some cultivators from the ancient forest will also be auctioned at the auction.
For this reason, some rare treasures will occasionally appear in the auctions held in Tongcheng. However, compared with the scale of auctions in big cities, Tongcheng is still far behind.
Outside the east gate of Tongcheng, a group of people were slowly walking towards the east gate of Tongcheng. It was Lin Yufeng and his group who had just walked out of the ancient forest.
"This is Tongcheng? It seems that the defense is quite strong." Lin Yufeng looked at the rather strong city and sighed slightly,
A majestic city appeared in front of him. The city wall was seven or eight feet high, and watchtowers were arranged on all sides. There was a cannon on it, and there were even horses in many places. The spiked spears on it gave off a cold light.
This kind of defense is quite difficult for even a strong ordinary spiritual master to break through in one fell swoop.
In addition, there were many soldiers wearing armor and holding spears, with cold eyes and expressionless faces, patrolling back and forth one after another.
"The defense work in Tongcheng is really good." Lin Yufeng exclaimed in his heart.
Just looking at its appearance, Tongcheng is a city that can be described as ‘impregnable’!
Qing Zhan on the side saw Lin Yufeng's surprised look and naturally knew that it was his first time to Tongcheng. He explained with a smile: "Tongcheng is so close to the ancient forest. If the city is not strong enough, it will be in trouble if it is invaded by spiritual beasts."
Lin Yufeng wondered: "Could spiritual beasts also invade the city?"
Qing Zhan nodded and said: "Well, some high-level spirit beasts have their own wisdom and may lead their spirit beasts to attack the city."
Lin Yufeng raised his sword eyebrows slightly and said: "It seems that Tongcheng's proximity to the ancient forest seems to have a harmful side."
He naturally knows that some high-level spiritual beasts are no less intelligent than humans, and it is not impossible for them to occupy a city and become king.
Ye Zi who was beside Lin Yufeng chuckled and said: "Of course, although Tongcheng seems to be very safe, sometimes it will be attacked by some spiritual beasts, but usually they are just low-level spiritual beasts. If it is unfortunate, they will also be attacked by some spiritual beasts."
Spiritual beasts of level three or above"
Lin Yufeng was also slightly surprised. He did not expect that some third-level spirit beasts would actually invade Tongcheng. But after thinking about it, it became somewhat clear. The existence of third-level spirit beasts is equivalent to spiritual masters and powerful spiritual kings, and they already have certain wisdom.
Tongcheng is so rich, and it may have what those third-level spirit beasts need, so it may cause the disaster of spirit beasts attacking the city. However, Tongcheng also has many strong people, and they come from all directions. If some third-level spirit beasts want to invade Tongcheng,
I'm afraid it's not that easy
The group of people walked to the city gate while chatting and laughing. Qing Zhan chatted with the soldier at the gate for a few words, and then handed him a few shiny gold coins before they were allowed to enter the city.
Lin Yufeng was slightly confused. Do you have to pay money to enter the city? Isn't that no different from collecting protection fees?
However, he didn't care about a few gold coins. After traveling for several months in the ancient forest, Lin Yufeng also gained a lot. Some animal skins and spiritual grass could be sold for a good price, and he also had several spiritual cores. This thing
But it's a very valuable thing...
"Yu Feng, let's go. Uncle Qing will take you to visit Tongcheng." Qing Zhan patted Lin Yufeng's shoulder and said with a bold smile.
Lin Yufeng smiled slightly and nodded. He was unfamiliar with the place, so he could save the time of looking for a place to stay in Tongcheng.
"etc!"
Just when Lin Yufeng was about to step into the city gate, a loud voice came
Hearing this voice, Lin Yufeng raised his eyebrows slightly, then raised his head and saw a tall and burly young man wearing black heavy armor with a long sword hanging on his waist.
What surprised Lin Yufeng even more was that the young man in black armor had a black flagpole stuck behind his thick and mighty armor, with a big character "Xu" written on it.
"Xu?" Lin Yufeng murmured in his heart
When Qing Zhan saw the young man in black armor, he frowned and said, "Ling Yue, what are you doing?"
The young man in black armor, known as Ling Yue, first smiled friendly at Qing Zhan, then turned his head and glanced at Lin Yufeng lightly, and finally looked at Ye Zi with a slightly respectful tone: "Miss Ye Zi, may I ask who this person is?
"
Ye Zi looked at him strangely, and then replied: "This is our new friend from the mercenary group, Brother Yu Feng."
"Yu Feng?" Ling Yue's eyes turned to Lin Yufeng and asked, "You are that?"
Although he didn't know what was going on, Lin Yufeng still nodded politely: "My surname is Yu, and my single name is Feng."
"Haha, my friend seems to be very close to me. I wonder where he comes from?" Ling Yue looked at Lin Yufeng carefully and showed a seemingly friendly smile.
As soon as Lin Yufeng finished speaking, before Lin Yufeng could answer, Qing Zhan said with some displeasure: "Ling Yue, don't we need to explain to you that we have a friend?"
"That's not true." Ling Yue did not look at Qing Zhan's face. He kept staring at Lin Yufeng and said calmly: "Tongcheng has been a bit uneasy recently. For this reason, some unfamiliar faces and idlers must be strictly inspected when entering the city."
Hearing this, Qing Zhan immediately sneered and said: "Unfamiliar face? Ling Yue, I would like to ask, there are so many mercenaries, businessmen, and cultivators coming in and out of Tongcheng every day. Is it possible that you wrote down the appearance of each one?"
"
Ling Yue smiled faintly, walked slowly to the side of Qing Zhan, lowered his voice and said: "Captain Qing Zhan, I am doing this for Miss Ye Zi's own good, so please don't toast me and eat as a penalty."
Qing Zhan's face darkened slightly: "So, you must keep Yu Feng?"
"Just a little inquiry, there is no malice." Ling Yue ignored him and looked at Lin Yufeng: "Please, my friend, please move to another place and leave after I have recorded it."
Lin Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "What if I don't agree?"
"Then don't blame me for being rude," Ling Yue said aggressively.
"That's enough, Ling Yue!" Qing Zhan said in a deep voice: "You are obviously targeting me deliberately. There are so many people coming and going in Tongcheng, why is Yu Feng just a strange face in your eyes?"
Ling Yue said coldly: "Captain Qingzhan, as the commander of Tongcheng Black Flag Armor, I still have some say in this matter. I hope you don't get involved, otherwise you will use some hard measures. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."
As soon as these words came out, Qing Zhan's face became a little ugly. He seemed to be afraid of something and did not reply.
"Commander of Black Flag Armor?" Lin Yufeng was slightly surprised when he looked at Ling Yue, who was wearing black armor and looked majestic.
"Commander Ling Yue, since you are embarrassing Brother Yu Feng, at worst, Uncle Qing and I won't go into the city."
At this time, Ye Zi, who had been silent all this time, frowned and said: "If you are not willing to let Brother Yu Feng enter the city, then I will not go to Tongcheng and sleep outside with the other members."
At this time, Ling Yue's face was slightly startled, and he hurriedly explained: "Miss Ye Zi, I'm not making things difficult for you. Instead, I invited this friend to another place and asked a few simple questions, and he was quickly allowed to leave.
Looking at the girl”…
"Humph, I don't care." Ye Zi looked at him impatiently and said, "Brother Yu Feng is a good person, why do you want to make things difficult for him? Besides, if you have any questions, can't you ask them now? Why do you have to go somewhere else?
"
"A good person?" Ling Yue was startled, looked at Lin Yufeng with some surprise, and said to himself: "What is the relationship between this man and Miss Ye Zi? Why does Miss Ye Zi, who has always been indifferent, say so many good things for a stranger?"
However, Lin Yufeng was a little confused. He just entered a city gate, why was it so troublesome to ask questions?
When Qing Zhan saw Ye Zi talking, his originally ugly face gradually softened, and he also said: "Ling Yue, don't think that a mere black flag commander in Tongcheng can detain anyone at will. In terms of rights, this Tongcheng can
It’s not you who has the final say”
A hint of gloom appeared on Ling Yue's face, and he whispered: "Are you forcing me to report to the city lord?"
"It's up to you." Qing Zhan showed no appreciation and said calmly: "It's best to tell our names when notifying the city lord. I want to see how the city lord will handle such a superficial matter."
Hearing this, Ling Yue looked at Qing Zhan and fell into silence.
Seeing all this, Lin Yufeng was slightly startled. He glanced at Ye Zi from the corner of his eye and found that the latter's pretty face was a little red because of anger. He looked at Ling Yue with disgust.
What made him a little strange was that Ling Yue, who was so domineering just now, actually became swallowed up after Ye Zi's words.
"Did I guess it right?" Lin Yufeng thought to himself: "Zi Zi is really a member of a big family in Handan, the capital of Lu State?"
Generally speaking, as a law enforcement team and as the leader, Ling Yue does have the right to detain Lin Yufeng and ask questions. After all, as the highest officer in Tongcheng, he has a lot of say.
However, such a high-ranking and powerful commander was so polite to a mercenary group, which made Lin Yufeng feel a little strange.
Although the overall strength of the Qingzhan Mercenary Group is not weak, it is definitely not top-notch. According to Lin Yufeng's opinion, this team is only at the middle level in Tongcheng. How could he talk to Ling Yue with such an attitude?
"Haha, since Captain Qingzhan and Miss Ye Zi have said this, I won't be embarrassed."
After a long time, Ling Yue's gloomy expression finally cracked out a rather ugly smile and said: "I'm belittling you, I hope you can bear with me."
Seeing that Ling Yue was defeated, Qing Zhan snorted coldly and said: "So, Yu Feng can enter the city."
"No problem, I'll give you my warmest welcome." Ling Yue looked at Lin Yufeng with a smile and extended his hand, "My friend, I hope you don't mind what happened just now. I'm on official business, so please forgive me."
Lin Yufeng squinted his eyes and stretched out his hand with the same smile.
However, when the two people's hands were held together, Ling Yue suddenly exerted force!
"A show of force?" Lin Yufeng sneered in his heart. With his peak physique, he had nothing to fear.
As soon as his thoughts changed, Lin Yufeng also exerted his strength, using 50% of his body strength. Immediately, Ling Yue, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed his face.
As Lin Yufeng's strength increased, cold sweat soon appeared on Ling Yue's forehead, and his face was slightly twisted, as if he was suffering from some pain.
Soon, Ling Yue finally couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately shook his hand, got out, and shrank behind him, as if he couldn't see the light.
"Commander Ling Yue, I fully understand your actions." Lin Yufeng grinned and emphasized the word "understanding".
Ling Yue's eyes were full of anger, and he stared at Lin Yufeng sinisterly, as if he wanted to fight, but in the end he suppressed it and showed an extremely ugly smile: "Haha, then invite your friends to Tongcheng"
Qing Zhan on the side was shocked when he saw this. He naturally knew what happened between the two, but what surprised him was that Lin Yufeng could actually defeat the commander Ling Yue?…
You must know that the person who can become the commander of the Black Flag Armor is undoubtedly the top person in Tongcheng. How could he be so disadvantaged in the hands of a teenager who has not yet reached adulthood?
"Okay, okay, uncle Qingzhan, brother Yufeng, let's enter the city quickly."
Of course Ye Zi, who was innocent by nature, didn't know what happened in a short period of time, but she obviously didn't want to be carried around here, so she immediately urged
Lin Yufeng smiled slightly, nodded and said: "Okay"
After saying this, he looked at Ling Yue again. The latter gritted his teeth and his eyes were full of coldness, but he still smiled. Now he can only swallow this bad breath with difficulty.
"Hey, look at you, you are making things difficult for me." Lin Yufeng felt a little funny in his heart. Although he didn't know what the secret was, since the other party didn't respect him, he couldn't blame himself for being rude.
Seeing that this little episode had finally come to an end, Qing Zhan waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the city."
Everyone responded, and then with Ling Yue's ugly expression, they left the city gate and entered Tongcheng.
After Lin Yufeng and his group disappeared from his sight, he waved
"Commander" Soon, a general came to Ling Yue's side, bowed and saluted, and said in a respectful tone
"Send someone to investigate the young man named Yu Feng."
Ling Yue's eyes flashed with a look of solemnity, and he said in a low voice: "No matter what, we must know his details!"
The general nodded, as if thinking of something, and asked: "Where is the city lord..."
"Don't report it yet, there is no need to trouble the Lord of the City with such trivial matters."
Ling Yue hesitated for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Xiao Ruoye, you will definitely not be able to escape the city lord's plan!"
