Chapter 279 Royal Cavalry
Xuanshuang City is the territory of the Wang family among the five major families, and it is also the most prosperous town nearby.
As long as we arrive in Xuanshuang City, the cold outside will be nothing.
The city has inns and other facilities, where you can soak in hot springs, drink some wine, and immediately ward off the cold.
The thought of being able to go to the city to enjoy the warmth and delicious food made everyone quicken their pace.
Don't blame others for being useless.
The wind and snow were so strong, and the weather was freezing. The rustling sound of the wind filled their ears, and it made their hearts feel cold.
I can only think about the good life in the city to give myself energy to hurry on.
The wind was so cold that it bit people's bones, and pedestrians hugged their clothes tightly.
At this moment, everyone suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far away.
This is not the sound of one horse, but the sound of a group of horses.
"Tat-tat--"
Some people moved their ears and listened attentively.
This is not the sound of ordinary horse hooves, but... the sound of iron cavalry!
The sound was getting closer, and everyone could hear a rustling sound.
That's the sound of weapons colliding and armor rubbing against each other!
Close, closer!
A team of iron cavalry appeared vaguely in the wind and snow!
With solemnity and bloodiness!
They rode tall horses, wore armor, and had battle robes on their shoulders. The steel armor blocked their faces, so people could not see the appearance of this group of cavalrymen.
Leading the group was a general fully armored, with a red-tasseled spear on his back. His battle robe fluttered in the wind, and the golden embroidery thread revealed his difference from the others.
The general was silent and stern. When he saw a group of people walking with difficulty on the side of the road, he simply pulled his horse around and walked around them.
The cavalrymen behind him followed the general's path and obeyed his orders.
They just rode past the crowd, leaving them far behind.
All the crowd could see was the fluttering silver-haired cloak of the leading general and the cavalry following closely behind him.
They are like snow wolves moving through the snow.
The clatter of horses' hooves, the creaking of armor, the clanging of weapons, and the fluttering of battle flags intertwined into a sound that made one's heart tremble.
Everyone stood quietly and watched the cavalry go away.
After a long time, someone stared at the series of horse hoof prints on the ground and spoke hesitantly.
"Who are they?"
Someone knew the origin of this cavalry and said:
"They are the Wang family of Xuanshuang City. Look at their battle flag. The word 'Wang' is written on it."
"I know, I know. Is it General Wang's cavalry?"
"It's possible that there have been some monsters causing trouble in the north recently, and they may have just returned from killing them."
"Oh, no wonder there's such a solemn and murderous atmosphere. Is the man leading the group General Wang?"
"See that silver cloak? That's General Wang's symbol. I heard he got it when he hunted the Frost Moon Snow Wolf when he was ten years old..."
"My goodness, other people's ten-year-olds are killing wolves, while mine is eating candy."
The voices of the crowd gradually drifted away in the wind and snow.
Xuanshuang City received the message and opened the city gates.
A cavalry appeared outside the city gate and marched straight into the palace in the city.
After returning to the mansion, the leading general dismounted and walked inside.
The Wang family is one of the five great families in the world of immortal cultivation, so their mansion is naturally exquisite and magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings.
It is just different from the south or east, with rockery, waterfalls, willows in the pond, pavilions and towers.
The decoration in the palace is a bit rough after all. There is a small pond in the yard, but it is now frozen.
Of course, the Wang family can set up a formation to make this place spring-like all year round and as beautiful as a fairyland. They also have the ability and financial resources to do so.
It was like this more than ten years ago. Some of the exquisite decorations in the palace, such as glazed tiles, withered branches, and gravel paths, seem to be telling the story of the extremely luxurious palace at that time.
But the current head of the Wang family thinks it is unnecessary and it costs too much spirit stones and is not cost-effective.
The palace has become the rough style it is today.
Hearing the sounds of footsteps and armor coming from the yard, the two women who were reading the newspaper in the room raised their heads and looked outside.
They were all dressed warmly, with fox fur draped over their shoulders, and looked very warm.
"came back?"
The woman sitting at the head of the table shouted outside.
After a while, a man in armor came in.
He came into the warm room, took off his helmet, revealing a handsome and tough face.
He did not forget what the woman had just asked.
"Ah."
He seriously replied to the woman's question "I'm back".
Another woman burst out laughing. She was the woman sitting below the main seat.
She is cute and pretty, with a slightly round face and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that complement each other perfectly, making her as friendly and amiable as the girl next door.
"Why is Xiaojun always like this?"
She said with a smile.
The woman in the main seat didn't say anything, but just looked at the pretty woman helplessly, and then looked at the person standing in the living room.
"Chengjun, take a rest now that you're back. You've worked hard on this trip to kill monsters."
The armored young man in the hall, Wang Chengjun, replied dully:
"It's not hard."
The woman sitting in the first seat has a bright and elegant appearance and is extremely noble. She is the current acting head of the Wang family, Wang Ruqin.
She is also Wang Chengjun's elder sister.
As we all know, the Wang family has five children. The first four were girls, and the last one was a boy.
So, Wang Chengjun has four sisters.
The one who kept laughing beside him was his fourth sister, Wang Ruhua.
Due to the incident five years ago, the head of the Wang family is now in poor health and is recuperating.
Wang Ruqin, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, became the acting head of the Wang family.
After changing the person in charge, the Wang family did not decline. Instead, it prospered because of Wang Ruqin's thrifty management and her ability to increase income and reduce expenditure.
Of course, this is a nice way of putting it. In reality, Wang Ruqin is a stingy person and no one can get money from her.
After all, the Wang family is one of the five great families and has huge assets.
Since I started tightening my belt, I have indeed had more money.
So something strange happened today. She actually subscribed to several Thousand Miles Newspapers!
Even someone as silent as Wang Chengjun couldn't help but feel curious.
"This writes about a monster invasion that happened in the east."
Wang Ruqin knew what Chengjun was thinking at a glance and explained the reason for buying the Qianli newspaper.
Monster invasion?
Wang Chengjun's expression turned serious. This was more troublesome than an invasion of monsters.
Wang Ruqin handed the Eastern Thousand Miles Report to Wang Chengjun to read.
Wang Ruhua on the side said:
"Not only that, we also saw that kid from the Chu family in the Qianli Newspaper in the south!"
Wang Ruhua laughed again when she talked about this.
He spoke after a while.
"Oh, no wonder he was so scared when he heard that the eldest sister was planning to marry him that he ran away from home immediately. It turns out that he doesn't love women anymore, he loves men more than women."
Wang Ruhua spoke with a smile.
He looked like he was having fun.
Hearing this, Wang Chengjun immediately turned his gaze over.
Seeing this, Wang Ruhua handed him the Qianli Newspaper in her hand.
Wang Chengjun looked at the articles with titles such as "Exclusive revelation! Five talented people gathered in one room just for...", "She hid, he hid, he climbed up to the beam alone! Someone actually walked in through the door..." with a serious face.
As I watched, my eyes started to turn to stars, and it was obvious that I didn't quite understand it.
But there was one thing he understood.
He pointed to the following passage: "She hid, he hid, he climbed up the beam alone! Someone unexpectedly walked in through the door..."
"... Chu Lang scooped up a spoonful of chicken soup and pretended to put it into Xie Lang's mouth. He whispered, 'Junior brother, try this soup I made myself.' The candlelight flickered, and his eyes were filled with affection..."
With a blank expression and a hint of doubt, he asked, "Adulterer, adulterer?"
Afterwards, the expression on his face gradually became ferocious, as if he was ready to kill the two of them at the command of his sister.
Wang Ruqin felt quite a headache.
She looked at her fourth sister who was providing the fire, and then at her younger brother who was providing the fire without knowing it.
Once again, I feel that this family is really difficult to manage and we can’t do without her.
"At that time, I just had no other choice, so I approached the most unlikely person in the Chu family to propose a marriage... Isn't it different now? Now that I'm the head of the family, who would still want a marriage?"
Wang Ruqin sat up straight and spoke in a serious tone.
"Besides, because of this incident, the Chu family gave me a lot of compensation. It was not a loss at all!"
"To be precise, neither of the two parties has officially agreed yet. We just discussed it verbally, and I didn't expect that guy to get so scared that he ran away..."
Wang Ruqin didn't think there was anything wrong.
What does she want in her current position?
Compared to the generally rebellious boys in the Chu family, she prefers the docile boys in the Zhuge family.
I heard that the direct descendants of the Zhuge family have their own skills in giving birth to children, and they use special techniques to breed children, so women don’t have to suffer at all. I don’t know if it’s true.
Wang Ruqin fell into deep thought.
Oh, I really want to try it.
Even though his elder sister said so, Wang Chengjun still carefully wrote down the people in the pictures in Qianli News.
I'm prepared to beat him up when I see him next time.
No one can bully the girl from the Wang family!
……
In Feixing Valley, Chu Yuanzhou, who was refining pills in the alchemy room, suddenly sneezed.
Improper control of spiritual power.
"boom--"
The stove exploded!
A batch of elixirs was ruined.
There is a success rate in alchemy itself, but for Chu Yuanzhou, it has been a long time since he has had a furnace explosion.
He was choked by the black smoke and finally cleaned up the scene.
Then, he looked puzzled. It was strange. Why did he suddenly sneeze just now?
Could it be that someone missed him again?
Chu Yuanzhou touched his chin.
Could it be that Junior Brother Xie missed him?
But soon, he was immersed in alchemy again.
Recently, he had some inspiration during the treatment of Jiutian Qinglian.
I wonder if it is possible to make a pill that can directly purify the evil spirit?
In the world of immortal cultivation, there are pills that can remove evil spirits, but that is equivalent to dissolving the spiritual energy in the body and then separating it.
Now he has a different idea.
The sound of alchemy could be heard again in Chu Yuanzhou's alchemy room.
The liquid in the furnace sizzled as it was heated by the fire.
The aroma of medicine filled the air.
……
Xie Yunhe put down the Eastern Thousand Miles Newspaper in his hand with a weak look on his face.
It is hard to understand why Wen Zhizhi became a master of storytelling in the world of immortal cultivation?
Is it just because of the “evil smile” and “affectionate glance” she wrote?
Xie Yunhe complained in his heart.
He looked at Sang Qing beside him. The two of them had been sitting here for a long time.
From the very beginning, Sang Qing became extremely silent.
The room was very quiet.
Let him see what's going on?
Sang Qing was looking at the Nanbu Qianli Newspaper with a serious face, as if he was reading an academic report.
Xie Yunhe had already read the Qianli Newspaper. How could he not know what was written in the newspaper?
Academic report?
It's more like an entertainment tabloid.
Combined with her previous relish, Xie Yunhe had reason to believe that Sang Qing was actually immersed in it at this moment.
"Ahem, Second Senior Sister."
Sang Qing suddenly looked up and realized that his junior fellow apprentice had been looking at him.
She was startled and began to recall that she didn't have any strange expression just now.
Then the junior brother handed the Thousand Mile Report back to her.
"Second Senior Sister, I've finished reading it."
"Oh, okay."
Sang Qing took the newspaper back.
She just wanted to find some fun for her junior brother, but she didn't expect that she would become addicted to Qianli News.
In terms of willpower, she is still not as good as her junior brother.
But... Qianlibao is really good-looking,
Sang Qing said secretly in his heart.
After she returned, she would read the two Qianli newspapers several times.
Also remember to subscribe to the next issue of Qianli Newspaper.
Xie Yunhe couldn't tell what Sang Qing was thinking, so he stood up and wanted to go to Feixing Valley to take a look.
He still remembered the mess that Feixing Valley was in. At that time, he had just been promoted to the middle stage of the Golden Core, and his cultivation was unstable, so he needed to practice to consolidate his cultivation.
Now that I have some free time, of course I'll go out and take a look.
If there is anything I can do to help, please do so.
"Second Senior Sister, I want to go to Feixing Valley to take a look..."
See if there's anything he can do to help, like take care of a patient or something.
Before he could finish his words, he saw Sang Qing's eyes light up.
"Junior brother, did you know that the disciples of Feixing Valley set up a stall to tell fortunes for free? I just happened to want to go and take a look."
Sang Qing has been feeling very depressed these days.
Her good friend Hua Qinglian has been captured to treat the evil spirit.
The junior apprentice brother was in seclusion while Chu Yuanzhou was refining the elixir.
I am not familiar with the rest.
She was left alone in the guest room.
Feixing Valley was bustling with activity right now, and she had no companions to go with her, and she felt embarrassed to go shopping alone.
Finally, her junior brother came out of seclusion, and she finally had someone to go shopping with!
Xie Yunhe looked into Sang Qing's bright eyes and wanted to say that he didn't mean that.
But he didn't want to spoil Sang Qing's fun either.
Moreover, hearing what she said, there is no problem with Feixing Valley?
After all, they are all doing free fortune-telling activities.
Xie Yunhe finally asked, and Sang Qing gave a positive answer.
"About three days ago, Feixing Valley was completely rebuilt. Thanks to the help of the people from Qianli Pavilion, the process of rebuilding Feixing Valley was even faster than expected."
"As expected of someone hired at a high price."
Sang Qing sighed at the end.
The two of them walked out of the guest room while talking.
As soon as they walked out of the courtyard, they saw a purple whirlwind sweeping towards them.
A refreshing and cheerful voice came from the purple whirlwind.
"Ahe! What a coincidence!"
