Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1514 Wrestling
The two thought it would be nice to have a village in such a desolate place, but they didn't expect there to be a small town.

"Chongquan Town?"

Ying Baoyue looked carefully at the plaque on the city gate. She vaguely remembered seeing this place on a military map before, and it should be a small town on the border of Houliao.

So it seems that she and Li Ji have entered Hou Liao by mistake.

There was the sound of tinkling irons from the town not far away. The town looked small, but there was a long queue at the city gate, and many soldiers stood at the gate.

Although it is a small border town, the scale of this town is not large, and there has been no war nearby. It stands to reason that there would not be so many soldiers guarding the city gate under normal circumstances.

This is clearly a state of siege.

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji looked at each other.

As the sun rose gradually, small vendors pulling small carts, farmers sitting in bullock carts, and common people with their burdens jammed in front of the city gate, forming a crowded and noisy queue.

Li Ji lowered his head and covered his face with a straw hat, and mixed with Ying Baoyue among the common people.

The inspection at the front city gate was carried out extremely meticulously and slowly. A woodcutter selling firewood pushed a cart past, and each bundle of firewood was disassembled and inspected.

Standing in the cold wind for a long time, many people began to complain.

"What's wrong with this today?"

Standing in front of Li Ji and Ying Baoyue, a big man carrying a basket full of charcoal yelled dissatisfiedly, "I have been here in Chongquan Town hundreds of times, and I have never seen such a troublesome investigation. Did you change the headmaster?"

"Hey! It's not because Xirong people entered the city last night!"

Behind Ying Baoyue and Li Ji, a skinny man who sells sesame candy put down the burden on his shoulders, and said in a thoughtful manner.

"What?" The charcoal seller turned his head and widened his eyes, "Did he join the Western Army?"

"Not soldiers."

The skinny man chatted with this man through Ying Baoyue and Li Ji, "I heard from my distant cousin who left the city this morning that he is a high-level practitioner!"

Li Ji and Ying Baoyue lowered their heads, their gazes changed slightly.

"I heard that the guardian elders of the Lu family in Chongquan Town were frightened to death last night. The Lu family has such a high status in the practice world that even the Lu family is afraid. At least they are practitioners of the Divine Dance Realm!"

This……

Really underestimated the level of those Xirong killers.

Ying Baoyue and Li Ji lowered their heads, listening to the people around them talking loudly.

"But the city hasn't been closed yet, did anything happen in the city last night?"

"Hey, Chongquan Town is small, but with the Lu family around, what can happen!"

The skinny man sputtered, "The great elder of the Lu family is a practitioner of the fourth rank, a figure on the cusp of heaven!"

It seems that this so-called Lu family is the largest cultivation family in this town.

Although it is not a heavenly rank, such a small border town can produce a fourth rank, which is indeed a capital worth boasting about.

Of course, rank four can't stop the heavenly rank, at best you can feel the breath of the heavenly rank, which can also explain why the Lu family elder was frightened.

Any cultivator who notices that there are eight heavenly ranks flying over his head will be frightened to death.

Those who didn't know thought that Xirong was about to attack the inland.

Li Ji held Ying Baoyue's hand, and wrote a word on her palm.

Ying Baoyue nodded.

The two of them guessed together that the eight celestial cultivators should have passed through this small town last night, checked with their true energy and then left.

There was no damage in the city, but this action surprised the practitioners in the city, thinking that the eight people were leading the action of Xirong, so today they wantonly inspected the people entering the city outside the city gate.

"Little brother, what's wrong with your outfit...?"

At this time, the salesman who was chatting with the big charcoal seller finally noticed Li Ji and Ying Baoyue standing in the middle.

He looked suspiciously at Li Ji's tattered clothes, "Are you in business? Have you been robbed?"

Li Ji's brain turned quickly, he lowered his straw hat and bowed his back, nodded and said in a low voice, "When I went out to sell goods in the city, I met horse thieves, and everything was robbed."

"Really, this world is really getting more and more chaotic."

The shopkeeper and the big man sighed. As people who live on the border, it is not uncommon to meet a small group of Western soldiers or horse thieves.

"Hey, little brother, don't be discouraged, you're lucky," the skinny man patted Li Ji on the shoulder, and glanced at Ying Baoyue, who was huddled beside Li Ji and wrapped his head and face tightly with a man's coat.

"If you meet Xi Rong soldiers, you will not be able to keep your daughter-in-law."

daughter in law?

Li Ji was taken aback.

The charcoal seller also looked over, and saw that the woman next to Li Ji could not see her head and face clearly, but her figure was extremely graceful.

The big man licked his lips, "That's right, little brother, it's good that your daughter-in-law didn't get robbed."

Unexpectedly, those horse thieves were quite blind.

Li Ji lowered his head, anger flashed across his eyes, and his fingers under his sleeves were clenched tightly.

"she is not……"

At this time, Ying Baoyue suddenly reached out and tugged on his sleeve, and said softly, "Husband, are we coming?"

husband?

Li Ji was hit by this title and stood stiffly on the ground.

Ying Baoyue continued to pull on his sleeve, "Husband?"

"It's almost there." Li Ji came back to his senses, and held her hand instead, "Don't be afraid, after entering the city, we can settle down after we find your elder brother."

"Why, little brother, you went to the city to find relatives?" the shopkeeper asked with interest.

Li Ji nodded and said cautiously, "Brother is in charge of Lu's house, I will take Zhuo Jing to join him."

"The manager of the Lu family?"

The salesman and the charcoal seller were taken aback, and their eyes suddenly changed when they saw Li Jiying and Baoyue.

There is only one Lu family in Chongquan Town.

The salivation in the eyes of the big charcoal seller looking at Ying Baoyue has faded a lot.

After all, even if it is just a steward, it is also the steward of the Lu family.

"Little brother, it seems that Mrs. Ling is not in good health, why don't you go forward."

The charcoal seller hurriedly gave up his position, and the few people who heard it in front also let Li Ji and others come forward.

Rumors spread widely, and by the time Li Ji and Ying Baoyue were pushed to the city gate, even the inspecting officers and soldiers had heard that there were "relatives" in line who were in charge of the Lu family.

"Well, you said that Lu Yin was robbed by a horse thief?"

Li Ji bowed his waist and stood in front of the officers and soldiers, bowing his knees and said, "Master Bing, yes, the villain will make up for it as soon as he enters the city. Zhuo Jing is very sick, can you let the villain enter the city first?"

The officers and soldiers guarding the city looked him up and down, and looked at a man dressed as a scholar in a long gown sitting by the city gate.

Li Ji bent his waist even lower, he knew that this person was a cultivator, and he should be responsible for checking whether the people entering the city had any realm.

He has been suppressing the realm for a whole day and night, and the breath on his body can hardly be suppressed.

Realizing that the other party's eyes were on him, Li Ji clenched his teeth.

The practitioner in the long gown looked at Li Ji a few times, then shook his head at the officers and soldiers.

The soldier breathed a sigh of relief and waved, "Okay, let's go."

Li Ji breathed a sigh of relief, took Ying Baoyue's hand and walked forward.

But just as Ying Baoyue's figure passed the city gate, the scribe sitting at the table suddenly raised his head.

"and many more!"
