One person, one city, guarding the border for 30 years

Chapter 55 Unexpected Gains

"What do you kill them for?"

Lu Qingfan felt a little funny, "Okay, go where you should go."

"Oh."

Xue Qilin agreed honestly.

With a thought of Lu Qingfan, Xue Qilin disappeared from the city wall out of thin air and entered the ethereal island.

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and a group of cavalry quickly entered the city.

"dismount!"

"Yes!"

The sound of dismounting in unison.

"Look around to see if there is anything that needs fixing."

"Yes!"

Footsteps scattered away.

Two soldiers came to the city wall and saw Lu Qingfan standing there.

"who are you?"

They walked towards Lu Qingfan quickly.

Lu Qingfan didn't look back, but still looked in the direction of Wanshou Mountain in the pass.

"What about you!"

They approached and stood beside Lu Qingfan.

"I am an ordinary soldier guarding Xielong Pass."

Lu Qingfan revealed his original identity.

"what?"

"what?"

The two thought they heard it wrong, and looked at each other to confirm the expression on each other's faces.

Unbelievable!

They have to double check.

"You said you were a soldier guarding the evil dragon pass?"

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan nodded.

"impossible!"

"It has been more than seven years since the evil dragon pass was broken, and the people who guarded the pass died long ago."

One of them asked, "Who the hell are you?"

Lu Qingfan asked back: "Who are you?"

"We are the defenders of Caiyun City, and the city lord sent us to inspect it."

"Oh."

Lu Qingfan understood.

"If you don't believe me, you can go back and look up the roster of the Xielongguan guards. My name is on it."

"Oh?"

The soldier who spoke earlier asked, "What's your name?"

"Lu Qingfan."

"I'll go talk to the captain."

After the man finished speaking, he ran down the city wall.

Another person kept looking at Lu Qingfan.

Not long after, five or six soldiers climbed up the city wall together.

The man pointed to Lu Qingfan, "Captain, that's him."

"Ah."

The captain walking in the front nodded and walked towards Lu Qingfan.

"You said you were the defender here?"

The captain approached and looked at Lu Qingfan with doubts on his face, "I came here seven years ago, and there was no living person here. Where were you at that time?"

"I was injured, I managed to survive, and after a few months in the wild, I'm back here again."

What Lu Qingfan said was basically the truth.

It was several months later when he returned to Xielongguan again.

At that time, Xielong Pass had been renovated and cleaned up.

Pretty much what it looks like now.

"So you're really a survivor?"

The captain was a little convinced, "This is really a miracle!"

"You go back and check to find out if it's true or not."

Lu Qingfan nodded, "I don't need to lie to you about this kind of thing."

"Have you been here for seven years?"

When the captain thought of this, he was a little unbelievable, "Just you?"

"Yes."

Lu Qingfan admitted it frankly.

Apart from escorting Wan'er, he wasted less than a month. He had indeed been near the Xielong Pass for the past seven years and hadn't gone anywhere.

"You are amazing!"

The captain clapped his hands excitedly, "How did you do it?"

"Yes, captain, he is really amazing! I didn't expect that we would have unexpected gains this time."

"Captain, we have to report it quickly. Such a person, such a deed, is so touching."

The other soldiers were very touched.

There is really someone who can guard the empty city alone for seven years.

What kind of perseverance does this require?

Coupled with strong belief and strong will, it can be done!
This person is really not an ordinary person!

It's so admirable!

"Okay, I'll record your situation, and I'll go back and report it."

The captain took out a pen and paper, "Your name is Lu Qingfan, how old are you?"

"nineteen."

"Where are you from?"

"People from Pingyang."

……

……

The team leader recorded Lu Qingfan's situation in detail, and put away his pen and paper.

"I, Liu Chenglin, have never been convinced before, you are the first!"

The captain also turned around and looked in the direction of Wanshou Mountain outside the pass.

"Wow, did I hear correctly?"

"The captain also has a day of boasting!"

"It's so comfortable!"

Several soldiers were very relaxed at this time, and even made a joke of the captain.

Because they know that the captain is in a good mood now.

So do they.

As long as this Lu Qingfan's identity is true, this must be a great achievement!
Maybe the captain can be promoted, and they can follow suit.

"Shut up!"

The captain showed his dignity.

"Yes!"

The soldiers gave him face.

"Let's go back to Caiyun City and report to the city lord."

"Yes."

The soldiers agreed in unison.

"We walked."

The captain waved goodbye to Lu Qingfan.

"Ah."

Lu Qingfan nodded and watched them walk down the city wall.

"Get on your horse!"

"Yes!"

With the sound of horseshoes, this group of soldiers quickly left the evil dragon pass.

Faster and more urgent than when it came.

"Come out."

Lu Qingfan slipped Xue Qilin out of the ethereal island.

"Can't you let me stay longer?"

Xue Qilin was very dissatisfied.

"cannot!"

Lu Qingfan shook his head simply.

"Forget it, ignore you."

Xue Qilin found a place to sleep.

……

……

Time flies quickly, and a month has passed in a blink of an eye.

For a month, Lu Qingfan lived in Xielongguan, drinking tea every day, basking in the sun, and teasing Xiaobai when he was bored.

That's what Lu Qingfan calls it now.

The more you call it, the more fluent the name becomes.

Xue Qilin also seems to have gradually gotten used to the name.

This day is April NO.20.

noon.

After eating, Lu Qingfan took out the rattan chair and put it on the wall.

He lay down in the sun.

Xiaobai curled up next to Lu Qingfan, and Lu Qingfan could touch it as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Click, click, click!"

A large group of people is approaching.

The cavalry led the way in front, followed by several carriages.

"Xiaobai, you can go eat now."

"Great!"

With a thought of Lu Qingfan, Xiaobai was sent to Ethereal Island by him.

The team entered the city.

"dismount!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers got off their horses, and the coachmen also stopped their carriages and got out of them.

Dozens of people lined up neatly and walked up the steps to the city wall.

The one who walked in the front was Cheng Chenglin, the captain who led the team last time.

He is holding a sheet of paper in his hand.

Several soldiers following him were also holding things in their hands.

When the crowd came to the city wall, Lu Qingfan stood up and faced the crowd.

"congratulations!"

Cheng Chenglin bowed his hands to Lu Qingfan from afar, smiling all over his face.

Lu Qingfan stood quietly on the spot, waiting for everyone to come over.

"Now I'm going to call you Lord Lu instead."

Xie Chenglin approached Lu Qingfan, stood up straight, unfolded the piece of paper in his hand, and his face became respectful.

"Lu Qingfan has made meritorious service in guarding the city, and he is now appointed as the guard of Xielongguan City!"

Xie Chenglin handed the paper to Lu Qingfan, "Lord Lu, this is the letter of appointment."

"There is also the government office, the official seal, please accept it."

Xie Chenglin smiled and cupped his hands, "This is an appointment made by the prince himself, Mr. Lu, congratulations!"
