But sympathy is sympathy. As the saying goes, the state-owned legal family has family rules, and Tiancheng Sword Sect also has sect laws. Qin Yun cannot easily cross Dongyingwei's bottom line. In fact, Chu Feng can be said to have given him a lot of face.**
So Qin Yun could only harden his heart and told the shop owner: "Give them more food and settle the debt with me!"
The shop owner looked at Chu Feng very uneasily. Chu Feng quietly raised his hand to signal the other party to come over, and gave a few instructions in a low voice, which made the former's expression change again and again.
The tense atmosphere in the inn lobby gradually disappeared. The innkeeper brought more food to the prisoners. When Qin Yun took out the money to pay the bill, he said with fear: "The adult has already paid, and he also ordered the younger
I will spare an upper room for you. If you want to rest, you can go to the innermost room on the second floor."
Qin Yun was slightly stunned and couldn't help but look at Chu Feng, who smiled at him.
"That's okay!" Qin Yun put down the money in his hand and said calmly: "You can burn the stove more brightly at night and don't freeze people. This money can be regarded as room and food money!"
That was all he could do for the two poor children. After he finished speaking, he picked up his suitcase and sword and went straight upstairs without waiting for the shop owner's answer.
When Qin Yun's figure disappeared at the top of the stairs, the Dongying guard named Xiao Wu quietly approached Chu Feng and lowered his voice and asked: "Boss, why are you so polite to this boy?"
This is the common question in the hearts of all the East Eagle Guards. They all feel that Chu Feng is too weak to Qin Yun.
Chu Feng smiled coldly and said, "Do you know where this place is?"
Xiao Wu couldn't help scratching his head: "Isn't this an inn? Is there something wrong?"
Chu Feng shook his head helplessly: "It's not the inn. This place is only a few dozen miles away from the Tiancheng Sword Sect and is within the sect's sphere of influence. If my judgment is correct, he should be a disciple of the Sword Sect who returned from training outside.
"
The eyes of the leader of the East Eagle Guard flashed with a captivating light: "Despite his young age, he is definitely an innate-level master, and he has killed people, many people!"
The strong people above the innate level are extremely sensitive to the aura. Just now, Chu Feng deliberately released the innate pressure to test Qin Yun's strength. Although Qin Yun did not specifically fight back, it was enough to make Chu Feng feel jealous. He would never dare to act rashly.
"Then is it possible that he..." Xiao Wu hesitated and asked.
"Absolutely impossible. If they can reach into the Tiancheng Sword Sect, then we will admit it!" Chu Feng shook his head again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "It's just that I can't think of it. Which Tiancheng Sword Sect is he?"
A rookie disciple!"
While Chu Feng and others were guessing Qin Yun's identity, Qin Yun moved into the room.
Although this inn looks ordinary from the outside, the room is clean and tidy, the fire pit has been burned, there is hot water for washing, and it is warm and comfortable inside.
After simply washing away the dust from his face, Qin Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, abandoning all his troubles and distracting thoughts, stimulating his magical energy throughout his body, and quickly entered a state of trance.
The heavy snow outside has stopped. But the cold wind is getting colder and stronger. The wind makes the tiles on the roof rattle. This long snowy night is destined to not be peaceful.
Not knowing how long it took, Qin Yun was alarmed by a sudden strange noise.
His heart palpitated, he reached out and grabbed the Tianwen Sword lying in front of his knees, and silently jumped up from the bed.
The sounds that entered my ears became clearer and louder. Angry shouts, shouts, the collision of weapons and the screams of people dying were mixed together. They were clearly coming from downstairs and the backyard of the inn.
Could it be that something happened to the group of Dongying guards escorting the prisoners? Qin Yun thought to himself.
He saw that the other party was being escorted by heavy troops, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. However, those prisoners were basically ordinary people. Logically speaking, there was no need to be so vigilant. The only explanation was that someone might come to rob the prisoner.
If Qin Yun's guess is correct, then the identity of these criminals must be very unusual, otherwise the elite experts from the East Eagle Guard would not have been tasked with escorting them.
After thinking about it, Qin Yun had no intention of taking a dip in this muddy water, because he didn't even know who was right and who was wrong. He couldn't think that just because the Dongying Guards had a notorious reputation, they must be the evil party.
He opened the window of his room, and could vaguely see a figure swaying outside the backyard wall, running away into the distance. There were people behind him who were using Qing Kung Fu and jumping to catch up. Several torches were discarded on the ground, and the scene was quite chaotic.
But just a moment later, all the sounds disappeared, and the original tranquility returned to the inn.
Qin Yun thought for a while, then left the room and went down the stairs.
I saw a mess in the lobby. Almost all the tables and chairs had been overturned. There were a lot of blood stains left on the floor and walls from the fierce battle. The dozen or so prisoners were missing, but there were many more severed shackles.
.
The strange thing is that Qin Yun didn't see a corpse.
None of the shop owners and shop assistants were seen, and they were probably huddled and shivering.
This matter was somewhat of a mystery to Qin Yun, but he didn't take it too seriously. He just hoped that the two children could escape safely. After all, whatever guilt adults had, it shouldn't affect innocent children.
Until dawn, Dongyingwei did not come back.
The wind and snow had completely stopped. Qin Yun took out the black horse from the stable and continued to set off through the thick snow.
After nearly half a day of arduous trek, he finally saw Xuanwu City standing among the mountains.
Qin Yun did not enter the city, but took a detour from the small road and went straight to Hancui Valley.
This small valley is also covered in snow. The trees on the roadside are covered with thick frost and snow. The winding creek is still flowing without freezing. The road leading to the valley has been swept and looks very clean.
Qin Yun couldn't help but speed up. The black horse took a cheerful pace, and the iron hoofs trampled on the hard stone slabs, making a crisp sound, just like his mood at the moment.
Soon, Qin Yun saw Hancui Pavilion and Shui Wanning and Luliu standing in front of Hancui Pavilion.
Wearing white fur cloaks, they look so cute standing on the snow, they are extraordinarily beautiful!
Qin Yun jumped up from his horse, landed steadily in front of Shui Wan Ning, bowed down and saluted: "Disciple Qin Yun, pay homage to the master!"
Shui Wanning stretched out her hand to help him up, her pretty face full of endless joy: "It'll be nice to come back!"
She looked at her beloved disciple carefully.
Qin Yun went out to practice for half a year. Although the time was not long, after this time of tempering, he seemed to have grown up and matured a lot. Although his resolute face was full of dusty colors, he had the spirit that a man should have.
Shui Wan Ning could also feel that Qin Yun's natural aura was more calm and solid, and there was no doubt that his level of strength had been greatly improved.
However, she did not rush to ask, but gave Qin Yun to Luliu.
Qin Yun and Luliu reunited after a long separation. Naturally, they had a lot to say in their hearts, especially the latter who had a thousand words to say. But Shui Wanning was watching from the side, and the girl had no nerve to reveal her heart.
So the two could only look at each other, but didn't know what to say.
Shui Wan Ning looked amused and couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, it's cold outside, let's go in first and talk about it!"
After Qin Yun left, there were many more people in Hancui Pavilion. They were all maids, cooks, etc. recruited by Luliu from Xuanwu City. Their appearance added a lot of popularity to Hancui Pavilion, and also made Luliu
No more mundane chores.
After the maid brought tea and snacks, Qin Yun organized his thoughts and told the story of his journey south to Lingyang in detail, without any deliberate concealment.
His experiences in the past few months were absolutely thrilling and magnificent. He helped Xu Jingye to help Xu Jingye, climbed the Hundred Thousand Mountains, explored the Guangling Cave, fought against Huagang Patriarch, and guarded the Lingyang Fortress... No matter which one it was, it was worth talking about.
explain.
Although Qin Yun omitted many details and only downplayed the danger he faced at that time, how could he not be able to tell what kind of person Shui Wanning was, and his expression changed countless times.
Qin Yun talked for almost two hours, refilling the tea several times before finally finishing.
After hearing this, Shui Wan Ning let out a deep breath, shook her head and said with a bitter smile: "Yun'er, I didn't expect that you have gone through so many things in this experience. It is God's blessing that you can come back safely."
"Lingyang was besieged by the Chu army. Jian Zong only knew about it half a month ago. However, by the time he sent his disciples to rescue, the war was already over. You have really made great contributions to the sect this time. I also
I want to thank you!”
The Tiancheng Sword Sect and Lingyang City are in the north and the other is in the south. They are thousands of miles apart. The survival or failure of Lingyang seems to have nothing to do with the Tiancheng Sword Sect, but in fact this is not the case.
The Tiancheng Sword Sect and the Dayan Dynasty are inseparable from each other. If the Dayan Dynasty weakens and cannot stop the invasion of the Southern Chu, the power of the Qinglian Sect will inevitably slowly seep in, which will inevitably have an impact on the Sword Sect.
Lingyang City is the outpost of Great Yan to fight against Great Chu. If Lingyang falls into the hands of Great Chu, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in the southern frontier of Great Yan may fall.
For Shui Wanning, Qin Yun fought bloody battles in Lingyang City to protect this southern fortress, and at the same time, he also protected his own relatives and family. One can imagine how deeply moved he was.
Qin Yun said quickly: "Master's words are serious. Master treats his disciples like relatives. Your relatives are the disciple's relatives. It is your duty to protect your relatives and it is your duty to do so!"
Shui Wan Ning smiled happily and said softly: "Let's not talk about this anymore. You should have a good rest for a few days. I will let Liu'er accompany you and let me take care of other things!"
"Also, later you go to Zhuiyun Peak to pay a visit to Master Qingyun. He also cares about you very much!"
Qin Yun immediately stood up and said: "Disciples are all at the mercy of the master!"
He couldn't help but look at Luliu.
The girl smiled slightly, her pretty eyes were filled with tears, but she had an indescribable and touching charm.rq
