Chapter 15, North Ice City
Chapter 15, Arctic City
This...
A martial artist who peaked and killed him with another sword?
It was unbelievable. Not only Lan Ruo was stunned, but also the nearby sergeants, pedestrians, and horse thieves all looked at the bodies on the ground and the clouds on the field. On the horse thief's side, the only two masters left were actually killed with one sword?
"Brothers, kill these horse thieves!" Fang Shan, who was injured, was the first to react and immediately raised his arms and shouted.
"Kill these bastards and avenge the dead brothers!" The sergeants shouted loudly.
When the horse thieves heard Fang Shan's shouting, they suddenly woke up one by one. The two masters were dead, and they had no backbone. Let alone say that the sergeants will annihilate them, I'm afraid that even the horrible young man who just killed two masters is enough to sweep them.
"Escape!"
I don't know if it was the horse thief who suddenly shrilled, and his voice was full of fear and fear. Although they are now many people, they do not have the support of masters to deter the situation. There are no people who can suppress the array. Although they are all ruthless roles, they will not overpower themselves and die in vain.
"Revenge, revenge!" The sergeants held the blade, with high fighting spirit and excitement, and began to counterattack one by one.
"Puff!" "Puff!"
In an instant, dozens of horse thieves were immediately cut to the ground by the sergeants. The remaining horse thieves had no desire to fight again. They all ran away desperately one by one. The remaining 800 people were as embarrassed as bereaved dogs and rushed to the woods on both sides of the official road.
Looking at the fleeing horse thieves indifferently, the sergeants fell with their knives. After cutting dozens of horse thieves again, they only chased after about 100 meters and retreated back. After all, their mission is to escort the caravan, not to destroy the bandits.
"Quickly clean up the battlefield and set off immediately after packing up." Lan Ruolang said.
This time, many sergeants were injured, and many pedestrians died tragically under the knife of the horse thief. Everyone's face was blue and their eyes were angry. In order to get out of here quickly, they began to clean up the bodies of the dead.
In a short time, a sergeant came to report; "Miss Lan, we lost 120 people this time, including 13 pedestrians, drivers, and the rest were sergeants. The horse thief left 320 bodies, including two heads of the family.
Lan Ruo sighed and then said, "bury the dead sergeants on the spot, fill the loess, set up monuments, clean up the relics as much as possible, register the roster, and go back to treat their families well. All the injured people took carriages and arranged horses. The rest of the people should walk and set off as soon as they are ready.
"Yes, my subordinates are obeying!" The sergeant's spirit was shocked, and he suddenly felt grateful and responded respectfully. The nearby sergeants and passers-by were all warm in their hearts. Even the shrewd stewer Wang nodded with admiration.
"This way of handling is indeed very popular, but it also takes the interests of the sergeants as the starting point. It seems that this Lan Ruo is not simple either. Liu Yun stood aside, leaning on a big tree by the roadside and watching quietly.
"Liu Yun, you saved us again this time." Lan Ruo came over and said gratefully.
"No." Liu Yun smiled faintly and was not modest.
"In a while, we will leave Qingzhou and enter Jinling County of the Youlan Dynasty. We will go to Youzhou. What do you plan to do?" Lan Ruo asked with some expectation, "Will you go there with us?"
"I'll walk alone. I'm going to the north first." Liu Yun said.
"Are you going to the Arctic Icefield? You don't look like the kind of person who lacks money. Lan Ruo was very surprised.
"That should be my experience. I should go." Liu Yun shook his head slightly and said that he did not miss him. Although Miss Lan Ruo was very beautiful, his parents had not heard from him for eight years, and he was not in the mood to think about it at all.
"Wait!" Lan Ruo frowned and seemed to have something to say. At this time, she was also wearing a blue coat, and her waist was relatively tight, showing the beautiful small waist. The slender waist and the beautiful figure are even more charming to the bone, and the two small dimples on the jade cheeks are eager.
Liu Yun was slightly stunned and wondered; "What? Is there anything else for Miss Lan?
Lan Ruo handed over a piece of jade pendant and said, "If you have time in the future, come to Lan Qincheng, the capital of the Youlan Dynasty, and give this jade pendant to any station of the "Lan's Chamber of Commerce", and someone will inform me immediately."
Liuyun took over the jade pendant. The words "Lan Ruo" were written on the jade plaque, which should be used by the core personnel of the Lan Chamber of Commerce. "Maybe, if I have time, I will go and have a look."
The flowing cloud moved, flashed a shadow and disappeared in place.
Lan Ruo looked at the direction of the clouds disappearing and looked a little gloomy. But they didn't say much. After all, the matter here has been settled, and they have only known each other for a few days.
The flowing clouds running the true qi in the body have deviated several miles away from the official road. At this moment, he is a little worried. He is also a normal man, but he carries too much.
Stepping on light skills, like a light swallow, shuttling between the woods, Liu Yun smiled mockingly; "Although I'm young, energetic and bloody, I haven't reached that level. When I see a beautiful woman, I want to beg for it."
After nodding darkly, the flowing clouds quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests and flashed by. He has decided not to take the official road. If he takes the mountain road, he can directly cross the heavy official road, save some tedious inspections, and also walk in a straight line, which saves him a lot of time.
Time flies, and a month later, the North Ice City.
This is a city very close to the Arctic ice sheet and the only city. The closer it gets, the colder it feels. A kind of cold and piercing, which can be impregnated into the coldness of the bone marrow and is implicitly contained in it.
After paying a little entrance fee, Liuyun entered the "North Ice City" as he wished. The first thing is to buy a few animal fur coats and find an inn to stay. After being settled, Liuyun wandered alone in the Arctic City. He is going to the Arctic ice field tomorrow, but he is not going hunting, but practicing.
Although it is cold here, there are still many hunters living in the city, and there are several villages around. Most of the people walking on the street are businessmen, pedestrians who come out to go shopping, and some hunters. But most of them raise hounds and snow wolves.
On the street, I often see snow wolves returning from the sleigh, which carry the prey returned today.
On the cold street, snowflakes and ice are piled up on the edge of the street. Many merchants who sell goods will have a brazier in front of them, shouting loudly, bragging about their goods, and bragging.
Liuyun has long thought that he is wandering in the Arctic ice field. Even if he meets a four-level monster, he still has the power to fight. Although he may not be able to fight, he is still confident if he wants to fight peacefully and run away. So he decided to purchase supplies today and start going to the Arctic ice field tomorrow without feeling any pressure.
Walking on the street, Liu Yun's eyes kept passing by the stalls placed on both sides of the street. These merchants who set up stalls were mostly aborigines here, and many hunters shouted here.
However, these goods can't attract Liuyun's attention at all. In his opinion, all good things should be taken away by the Chamber of Commerce. Those meat, fur, materials, cubs, as well as some precious herbs and treasures will basically not appear on the street.
Occasionally, some hunters catch precious cubs, exotic flowers and plants, and Ganoderma lucidum deer antler come out and meet by chance. Therefore, these streets selling goods are always surrounded by some people who are bargaining with stall owners.
Very inadvertently, Liu Yun looked at a stall not far from him. There are all kinds of strange stones on it, and even some iron pimples of different shapes, objects, bone spurs, tiger tooth necklaces, blades, and even some refined small daggers.
The owner of the booth is a middle-aged man in gray robe. At this moment, he is shouting loudly and speaking. At first glance, it was a local person, because his booth was placed in front of his door. A child is standing in front of the stall with his eyes shining, clamoring for his father to buy a delicate little dagger.
Liuyun's eyes were fixed on a piece of "white fur" pressed by iron pimples, which was painted with some indicators, routes, and various mountain shapes, like a map. The white fur was pressed by the iron pimples and used as a cushion. It looks inconspicuous, and the quality seems to be worse than ordinary fur.
A strange idea suddenly flashed in Liuyun's heart. Could this be a treasure map? Although this idea came from a little strange, he still felt that it would be a worthwhile trip if he took away this "white fur" today.
When I approached, the price on the iron pimple was actually marked with 20 taels of silver.
Liu Yun couldn't laugh or cry. He smiled secretly and said, "This boss is really opportunistic. I guess he wants to try his luck and pick something cheaper. Although this iron knot is strange, it is not worth 20 taels by virtue of strangeness alone."
