Crossing the Continent of Kings: Under the Valkyrie Zhongli

Chapter 173 Arriving at the Protectorate's Mansion

Leaving aside the love-hate relationship between Zhuge and Sima, Zhong Fei and the others had already embarked on the road to the Great Wall.

When I came here, I took a camel sponsored by Jia Luo. When I went back, Jia Luo also planned to sponsor some camels, but unfortunately, when the second demon species invaded, the frightened camels ran around, and most of them were fed. Demon species.

Of course, fortunately, it took some time for the monsters to eat the camels, and Master Lu Ban and others safely arranged the city defense organs.

In desperation, Zhong Fei and others had no choice but to walk to the Great Wall Protector's Mansion first, and return to Chang'an after getting a car there.

Along the way, Xi Shi has been vigilantly looking at Haiyue who is closely following Zhong Fei, showing her hostility unabashedly, but Haiyue expresses indifference to this.

But it was Zhong Fei who had the most headache. Xi Shi kept holding her arm and did not let it go. I can't concentrate on my journey.

"Both of you, have you had enough trouble?" Finally, Zhong Fei broke out completely, mainly because he was afraid that he would not be able to suppress the gun if this continued.

Xi Shi was taken aback for a moment, then let go of Zhong Fei's arm, lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I'm sorry..."

Zhong Fei had no choice but to coax Xi Shi again, while Haiyue let go and stood aside without speaking, just watching the two quietly.

After finally coaxing Xi Shi, Zhong Fei turned his head to look at Haiyue again, and said angrily: "You too, at such an old age, why are you competing with a child like her!"

Haiyue's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "Two days ago, she still wanted me to call her sister."

Zhong Fei couldn't help having a headache again, and then he said flatly: "We'll be arriving at Duhu Mansion soon, let's hurry up!"

As long as you change to a carriage at the Protectorate's Mansion, you should be quiet!

Hearing this, everyone quickened their pace, and King Lanling also followed up hidden in the darkness.

It's not that King Lanling was following him secretly, it was just before he set off that Zhong Fei found out that King Lanling was a social fear. He followed behind everyone in stealth 1, and this solved the problem.

At this time, everyone could faintly see the towering city wall in the distance, and they couldn't help but cheer up, and hurried towards their destination.

"Huh~~ After wandering in the desert for so many days, it's finally here! I must sleep well to make up for myself after entering the Protectorate's Mansion!" Yao Chang breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly.

"Yes, yes, I still have to take a good shower. After so many days in the desert, I feel like I'm going to be dehydrated!" Mengya answered.

While speaking, the people who were rushing at full speed came to the gate of the Duhu Mansion. Several soldiers stopped the people and shouted loudly: "Who is coming? Do you have customs clearance documents?"

Zhong Fei stepped forward, took out the identity certificate bestowed by the Empress before, and handed it over: "We are Chang'an's envoys to Thousand Cave City, and now we are going back to Chang'an, we need to rest here for a day or two, and call a few carriages Send us back."

The soldiers took the envoy's identity documents, and after checking them correctly, they released a passage and motioned for them to pass.

"King Lanling, don't hide, come out!" Zhong Fei looked at the open space behind everyone, and shouted loudly: "If you don't come out, you will be trespassing illegally!"

Although King Lanling is following invisibly, the power of consciousness is constantly reminding Zhong Fei, so although others only know that King Lanling is following, but don't know his exact location, in Zhong Fei's eyes, the body of King Lanling His will is as conspicuous as a firefly in the night.

When King Lanling saw Zhong Fei summoning him, he hesitated for a while and still showed his figure. Unexpectedly, when the guards saw his figure, they raised their weapons as if they were facing a big enemy, and quickly approached him. King Lanling surrounded him: "It's you, Ghost Assassin! How dare you come to the Protectorate's Mansion so openly!"

Zhong Fei looked at King Lanling quite unexpectedly, and said, "Not only did you go to the Great Wall to make trouble, you also came here!"

King Lanling shrugged his shoulders, silently acquiesced.He had indeed assassinated the Chief of the Protectorate.

"Ah, this..." Zhong Fei couldn't help but have a headache again. He wanted to turn the two parties' fighting into friendship, but since human lives were involved, it would be a little unreasonable to directly order the soldiers of the Duhu Mansion to put down their weapons. up.

If the conflict between the two parties did not involve irreparable losses, such as human lives, then Zhong Fei can still try to persuade him to see if he can let go of the hatred, but since the King of Lanling has already made a move, he can persuade the two parties to stop , Zhong Fei felt a little sorry for the deceased Chief of the Protectorate.

At this moment, a figure that Zhong Fei didn't expect came out of the Protectorate's Mansion: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"

"General Hua Mulan? Why are you here?" Zhong Fei asked in surprise.

"It's you!" Hua Mulan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Recently, news came from Chang'an that the traitor Ming Shiyin appeared again in Yunzhong Modi. The Empress sent me to check the situation."

At this moment, Hua Mulan saw King Lanling standing behind everyone, and couldn't help shouting, "It's you!"

Before the words fell, two light swords appeared in Hua Mulan's hands, and the light sword's second skill, Whirling Dance Blossom was thrown out, and a light sword flew towards King Lanling in a twirling motion.

King Lanling also threw a shadow dagger, knocking down Hua Mulan's light sword.

Zhong Fei also reacted at this time, and quickly stopped Hua Mulan who was about to rush up to fight, and said: "Wait, wait, General Hua, King Lanling was actually brought by me, but I didn't expect... ..”

"Why did you bring him to the Protectorate's Mansion?" Hua Mulan was puzzled, "He is not a good person!"

"Actually, I wanted to resolve the misunderstanding between the two parties, but I didn't expect..." Zhong Fei raised his forehead and sighed: "There is no room for redemption at all!"

Hua Mulan put away the light sword when she heard the words, and said: "It's not that there is no such thing, in fact, this guy still has a little reputation among the soldiers of the Protectorate Mansion?"

Zhong Fei was puzzled and said, "Reputable? Why?"

Hua Mulan glanced at King Lanling, and explained, "Do you still remember the Minister of the Household Department who fell from power before? The high-ranking officer before that was actually the minion of the Minister of the Household Department, whose main purpose was to withhold military expenses."

Zhong Fei thought of the Hubu Shangshu who he had brought down when he just joined Yaotian, and nodded thoughtfully.

"So he killed that high-ranking officer, and accidentally did a good thing for the soldiers here?"

Chapter 174 The Royal Butler Appears

"So he did a good job by accident?" Zhong Fei asked, frowning.

Hua Mulan shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone: "Although there was no trial in Chang'an, the high-ranking officer did deserve to die, so many soldiers worship this 'ghost assassin' in private!"

"Then it will be much easier..." Zhong Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I'll take him in! What I have to do here is indispensable to him, the 'golden man'. Prince Ting' is here!"

Just when Hua Mulan smiled and was about to leave, Zhong Fei reacted abruptly and said, "Wait, who did you say you were looking for? Ming Shiyin?!"

Hua Mulan nodded and said, "That's right, Ming Shiyin has disappeared since the battle in the Canyon of Kings, but the Empress has never given up on arresting him."

"Some time ago, someone reported to the empress that they found traces of Ming Shiyin in Yunzhong Modi, so the empress asked me to come and check the situation."

Zhong Fei frowned deeply. In the original background, Hua Mulan was also ordered by the Empress to come to the Yunzhong Dufu Mansion, just to find Sikong Zhen, not Ming Shiyin.

Thinking of this, Zhong Fei couldn't help turning his eyes to Haiyue, who had always put on an attitude of having nothing to do with him, and asked aloud: "It was you who brought the devil...no, it was you who led Ming Shiyin here here?"

Haiyue frowned and asked, "What is the Ming Dynasty?"

"Ming Shiyin!"

"What world hidden?"

"Ming Shiyin!"

"What is hidden?"

"...Did you do it on purpose?" Zhong Fei frowned and looked at Haiyue.

"Oh, Ming Shiyin, I don't know, I don't know, I didn't attract it." Haiyue once again resumed her unearthly appearance, and said in a cold voice.

Seeing this, Hua Mulan asked with some doubts: "Who is this? Why do you suspect that Ming Shiyin has something to do with her?"

Zhong Fei waved his hand and said, "This is a secret for the time being... I will tell you when I return to Chang'an and meet the Empress."

Without the female empress to give you some advice in advance, I'm afraid that after you know her identity, you will directly draw out the epee on your back and strike at her...

Upon hearing this, Hua Mulan didn't say anything more, shrugged and left.

After Zhong Fei explained the situation to the soldiers guarding the gate, he led King Lanling into the Duhu Mansion, and all the way to the office where the Chief of the Duhu Mansion was located.

After explaining the purpose of coming to the chief, the other party enthusiastically arranged rooms for everyone, took the initiative to find the carriage, and bluntly told everyone to rest well, and then sent someone to take them to the arranged room.

The army from Chang'an went as far as the most border area of ​​Yunzhongmo, and established the Protectorate to guard the Yunzhongmo.For many years, a magnificent military fortress sheltered the local people, and a towering city wall was built around the fortress, which is a testament to Chang'an's strong military power.

Although it was established by the Chang'an army, not only the people of Chang'an live in the Duhu Mansion, but also the Sha people, the people of Yucheng, the people of Qiankucheng, and even the people of the former Jinting Kingdom live here in peace and stability.

Most of them were refugees who were sheltered by the Protectorate during the Demon Seed Rebellion. Some of them returned to their homes after the Demon Seed Rebellion ended, but more people chose to settle here.

After placing the luggage, Zhong Fei took King Lanling to the place where the people of Jin Ting Kingdom gathered, which he had inquired from the chief in advance.

Before the two of them had reached, an old and excited voice sounded from behind them: "His Royal Highness, is that you?"

When King Lanling heard the words, he immediately froze in place. After a long time, he slowly turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.

It was an old man who looked like he was about to die, with a trace of hope on his rough bark-like face, and his sparse white beard dancing in the wind with the old man's big mouthful of breath, as if expressing the inner excitement of the owner.

"It's really you, Your Royal Highness!" The old man became even more excited when he saw King Lanling turn around: "I am Ah Fu who was the housekeeper for the royal family before!"

Appeared!The housekeeper Fu Bo that appears in various novels!

"It's you, Uncle Fu." King Lanling was a little indifferent, because in his heart, these Jinting people who sought the protection of the Capital Protectorate were all traitors.

"Your Highness, how have you been all these years?" The old man staggered forward a few steps, reaching out to touch King Lanling, but his hand froze in mid-air.

King Lanling experienced Jinting’s extermination of the country when he was young, and was taken back to the mountains by a mysterious old man to be raised and taught, and the butler in front of him could recognize him based on his childhood memories, which is enough to show He is sincere to King Lanling.

It's a pity that King Lanling still misunderstood the Duhufu, so he still treated Uncle Fu very coldly: "How I live has nothing to do with you."

Uncle Fu was not angry either, he was completely immersed in the joy of seeing the prince again at the moment, thinking that his prince would have such a personality when he grew up, so he stretched out his hand to hold King Lanling's arm, and said excitedly: "Let's go, Your Royal Highness, let me take you to meet the people who survived that year, they will be very excited to see you!"

It's a pity that he didn't pull King Lanling.

At this time, even Uncle Fu, who was somewhat dazzled by joy, realized something was wrong: "Your Highness?"

"What use is it for me to see you traitors?" King Lanling easily broke away from Fu Bo's hand, standing where he was and said coldly.

"A traitor? Us?" Uncle Uncle asked in disbelief, and then said anxiously: "Your Highness, please don't wrong me. I have served the royal family dedicatedly for decades, and I have never thought of betrayal!"

"There is no intention of betrayal? Then what are you doing now?" Lanling King's eyes were like blades, and he poked at Uncle Fu: "It's really good of you to live and work in peace and contentment under the protection of the enemy who destroys the country. ah!"

"An enemy who destroys the country? Do you protect the mansion?" Uncle Fu repeated, then his face changed, and he smiled wryly: "Your Highness, you have misunderstood!"

"Misunderstanding?" King Lanling sneered, "I saw the Chang'an army attack Jinting King City with my own eyes. Is this also a misunderstanding?"

"This, this..." Uncle Uncle was a little hard to argue, he simply shook his head and said, "How about this, Your Highness, come with me."

"I'll take you to take a look. You will understand all the classics we desperately brought out in that battle!"

Chapter 175

Uncle Fu seemed to understand why King Lanling misunderstood, and said with a wry smile, "I'll take you to have a look, and you will understand all the classics we brought out during that battle!"

King Lanling didn't answer, but he was still dragged by Fu Bo to the gathering place of Jinting people.

"Old fellows, look who I brought back?" Uncle Forbe yelled loudly before reaching a private house.

The old wooden door opened with a "squeak", and two elderly people who were also in their dying years came out of the door, and said with a smile: "Old guy, you are so old, and you still do this... "

Just as he was talking, an old man accidentally caught a glimpse of King Lanling who was following Uncle Fu, the smile on his face froze suddenly, and the bracelet in his hand fell to the ground: "You are... the prince Your Highness?"

Another old man was walking behind. Hearing this, he pulled away the old man in front of him who was blocking his view, and said excitedly, "Where is it? Where is His Royal Highness?"

"It's really you, Your Highness the Prince!" No.2 old man knelt down on one knee neatly after seeing King Lanling, put his right fist on his heart, and said loudly: "This subordinate has seen His Highness the Prince!"

King Lanling frowned, looked carefully at the old man kneeling on the ground, and then said with some uncertainty: "You are... General Duan?"

It wasn't that King Lanling couldn't recognize the old man anymore, it was just that he couldn't believe that this loyal veteran would betray Jin Tingguo and join the Protectorate.
