Broken Night

Chapter 47 - The Princess

She looked up suddenly, but it was pitch black everywhere.

The fire in front of him was burning quietly, only the sound of firewood being burned.

On the other side of the fire, was a man who seemed to be shrouded in shadows.

His complexion is different from that of the shadow, his skin is white, but his appearance is very ordinary, and he can't remember the ordinary public face at a glance.

Lan Ming struggled to sit up, looked around, and said timidly, "Where is this place?"

Jin Xing heard the words and looked up at the starry sky: "Probably to the east of Yeshi City... Or, we are on our way to Nanhuang City."

Lan Ming was naturally at a loss when he heard the words. She grew up in the south, and for her, it was as difficult as going to the sky to leave the forest hut and go to the Chengyun Academy in the south city. At this moment, she had never heard of the so-called Night Lion City.

"How far are we to Nancheng?"

When Jin Xing heard the words, his face was a bit strange: "Who knows... Ten thousand miles... tens of thousands... In short, it is very far away, and I will not go back again."

"How is that possible!" Lan Ming stood up and clucked. A box fell to the ground, and it was the box that Xu Yan gave her. Seeing the box, Lan Ming cried again: "I'm going back to find Brother Xu! My mother told me to find Brother Xu to take care of me before I died!"

Jin Xing frowned when he heard the words.

He knew who Xue Ting was. One of the famous chefs in the past, although he is not good at fighting, his knowledge is by no means mediocre. To find that bald boy to take care of the princess?

Jin Xing shook his head: "I don't care, I will only take you home."

"Home?" Lan Ming smiled sadly: "You have already taken me out of my home."

Jin Xing shook his head: "Your real home. Do you know who your father is?"

Father?

When Lan Ming heard the words, his face was also stunned. Naturally, at the age of ten, she never thought about this question. It's just that she asked once when she was a child, but her mother was silent all day. Since then, the well-behaved Lan Ming has never asked.

But she didn't ask again, this question was always deep in her heart.

Jin Xing is not a sloppy person, he said to himself: "Although this is just my speculation, it should be correct." At this point, his face became serious: "Xue Ting, that is, your mother is Zeng Nan. Imperial City, the royal chef of the Qing Palace."

"And Xue Ting, once had a relationship with the current Blue Emperor."

"And just ten years ago, Xue Ting suddenly left the palace and disappeared from the world. And this year... if you're right, you are about ten years old, right?"

Jin Xing looked at Lan Ming with respect, and his voice was solemn: "You are the daughter of the current Blue Emperor, the princess of the Lan Dynasty!"

…………

South, South Imperial City.

Inside the Quanqing Palace, in the depths of the Three Thousand Halls.

The Three Thousand Main Courtyard was still as dark as the first time, so dark that one could not see five fingers.

plop puff...  

The night crow cut through the night sky, passed through the open window of the main courtyard, and landed on the window frame. Its mouth pecked lightly, as if to tell that news was coming.

A white jade hand reached out and took out a note from Ye Ya's claws.

"Ok?"

A surprised anger sounded, and then there was a long silence.

"I really don't feel good about dying... Xue Ting."

Then the jade hand moved over and wrote quickly on the desk.

Said to be a disease book, in fact, only wrote four words.

Shoot to kill.

The jade hand tied the note to Night Crow's claws again and released it. The night crow spread its wings, as if disappearing into the night. Because this is not an ordinary night crow, but a real night crow king, who has three levels of tattooed beasts. Its speed is as fast as lightning, and even the Four Palace Patterns cannot easily capture it.

Instead of asking how to deal with Jin Xing, she wrote these four words. Because she knew that those people would understand what she meant.

Even with Jin Xing's protection, that child must die.

…………

Xu Yan was troubled.

Although I feel that the strength of the lines in my body continues to increase, it is still a long way from breaking through the first palace. Although it is said that the later the breakthrough means the stronger the Qi Palace, it also means that he cannot use his real combat power.

Using the running method of the Floating Flame Finger, although he can now engrave, but the speed is too slow. If they really wanted to fight the enemy, they would rush over and they wouldn't even have time to engrave.

But he couldn't be in a hurry.

And the training seems to have reached a limit.

The food of Xu Tian and Lan Ming made him very nutritious to grow. Coupled with constant exercise, he no longer has any excess fat on his body, but his limit exercise time is still 15 minutes, without any progress.

In addition to the fact that Lan Ming was taken away, he was in a very bad mood these days, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot! Therefore, it is Qiao Zhigang who deserves to be harmed. Because of his mood, the mistakes that Qiao Zhigang made in forging these days were all scolded by Xu Yan pointing at his head, which was like a **** scolding.

But Qiao Zhigang didn't have any dissatisfaction, instead he respected Xu Yan more and more.

Xu Yan did not scold at every turn, and when he scolds, it must be in one sentence. Qiao Zhigang, who could only learn forging from his Qiao family's scraps since he was a child, has a good foundation. And now, with the guidance of a famous teacher, his forging strength is leaps and bounds. In just a few days, his shortcoming - engraving and forging skills improved by leaps and bounds. He was pleasantly surprised to find that with this progress, within a month, he was able to start trying to forge Tier 2 tattoos by himself.

Under this understanding, even if Xu Yan vented all his anger on him, he would never tire of it, and even smiled and handed Xu Yan water to moisten his dry throat after scolding.

"Let me tell you, this [Whirlwind] pattern, if you don't write it for me a hundred times tonight, tomorrow... hum." Xu Yan threw a sentence before leaving, making Qiao Zhigang numb. All along, Xu Yan used the word "hum" as a result, but this kind of ignorance of the punishment made Qiao Zhigang fearful like a snake and scorpion, and always completed Xu Yan's homework.

"Yes! Yes! Master, let's go!"

Xu Yan opened the door and left, and walked towards Bing Street.

It's just that he didn't see that when he left, a shadow quietly disappeared in the corner of the street. The shadow murmured to himself in a low voice, "I came to the God Soldier Qiao's house again. Could it be that there is something tricky about this Qiao's house?"

…………

The Chen family on Bing Street, which symbolizes the mansion of the owner, is very luxurious.

Different from the simplicity of his father Chen Lifa, Chen Tie was obsessed with running his family and business. If it weren't for Chen Tie, the Chen family wouldn't be able to get to where they are today. At that time, Chen Lifa also saw this, and decided to give up the position of the head of the family to his son. There is a specialization in art, since he is only good at forging, it is good to be devoted to forging.

Chen Tie stood in place, standing alone not far in front of him, reading the report of the spies: "It's the Qiao family of the magic soldier again. That child has been in and out of the Qiao family of the magic soldier for a long time. It seems that this Qiao family is really a bit weird."

That person is Chen Qing. As the housekeeper of the Chen family, he has to deal with a lot of things.

But after seeing Chen Lifa, he immediately informed Chen Tie, and put Xu Yan and the Qiao family of the magic soldier in place.
