Chapter 10 Lingxi Outer City

Early the next morning, when it was still dark, Jin Ling took the two of them and set off.

This time the three of them were riding on the deer horses provided by the Huju Town Town Office, which are specially designed to run long distances. Although their endurance is not as good as that of wildebeests, they are much faster than wildebeests.

Even so, it would take them at least three days to get to Lingxi.

Huju Town is nearly three thousand miles away from Lingxi City. It is no problem for deer and horses to run thousands of miles every day, but at night, they must rest well, otherwise they will get sick.

Lingxi City, as its name suggests, is the largest city in Lingxi, the only city within a radius of thousands of miles, and the Tangchi Iron City in the entire Lingxi.

After leaving Huju Town and heading east, the road became smoother and smoother. Even if the three of them were riding in a carriage, they would gradually feel less bumpy.

"Xiaochuan, don't blame your grandpa, our ancestors really don't have the martial arts suitable for you." On the carriage, Jin Ling saw that Zuchuan was not in high spirits, so he comforted him.

Zuchuan was indeed a little unhappy because of this reason.

No wonder he was unhappy. After waiting for several years and going through dangers, he finally had the qualifications to practice martial arts. However, it turned out that because his physical strength was too great, he had no martial arts to practice.

"Mom, what should I do? How about Xiu Xiu and I practice the Xiaguang Sword Technique together."

"No." Jin Ling explained, "You have too much Qi and blood, and the Xiaguang Sword Technique is not enough to fully mobilize your Qi and blood. If you insist on practicing it, when your Qi, blood, and rainbow Qi weaken, there will be no possibility of strengthening your bones."

.”

"But."

"No need to give in. We will go to Lingxi City and ask your grandpa when the time comes. If it doesn't work, your father will be there. Mom believes that the Lord of the City must have a solution. Let him ask the Lord of the City when the time comes."

"Okay, that's all."

The city lord Jin Ling was talking about was the number one person in Lingxi City and the lord of Lingxi Wu Mansion. It could be said that the whole of Lingxi belonged to him.

Although this city lord holds the power of life and death for everyone, he has always had a good reputation. He has never bullied the people and rarely appears in the outside world. The operation of the entire Lingxi almost depends on the Lingxi governor's army and the Lingxi governor.

Operations of Seibu Prefecture.

Lingxi City is divided into two inner and outer cities. The inner city is where the city lord's palace and the Lingxi Governor's Army are located. The Lingxi Wufu and ordinary people live in the outer city. Without reasonable reasons, they are not allowed to enter the inner city.

Zu Chuan's father, Zu Hong, was a general in the governor's army and had the qualifications to enter the inner city, but no matter how much he or Wenxiu begged, they were never brought in.

Jin Ling's natal family is a large family in the outer city of Lingxi. The Jin family has been in business for countless years. It is a huge family, but the real core has always been his grandfather's lineage.

As time passed, the three of them spent the rest of the time on the road except for a break to eat. Finally, they arrived at their destination before dark.

Qingsong Town is much smaller than Huju Town. There are almost all kinds of merchants in the town. Of course, the inns are the most popular, because the merchants who come and go only treat this place as a post station.

The three of them came to an inn called Wanhe, handed the two deer horses to the innkeeper, and told them to feed them well, and then walked into a small courtyard.

The accommodation conditions here are very good and very spacious. After a simple wash and dinner, Jin Ling asked them to go to bed as soon as possible, and they would be on their way early tomorrow morning.

Zuchuan, however, couldn't sleep no matter what, because he hadn't practiced martial arts yet, so he currently practiced eight-stage movements twice a day to keep the energy and blood in his body flowing like a rainbow.

But this state made him feel uncomfortable all over, and his blood kept boiling, as if there was a small furnace burning constantly in his body.

After wiping the body with cold water again and again, the irritability was relieved a lot, and then went into the house to sleep. The next day, they also set off at dawn. The three of them hurriedly hurried along and arrived at Lingshan in the evening of the third day.

West Outer City.

Lingxi City, which is located in the plain area, has built a city wall dozens of meters high, which looks majestic.

My uncle, who had already received the news from Zu Zhen, was already waiting at the gate of the city, otherwise even Jin Ling, the little princess of the Jin family, would not be able to avoid an interrogation.

Jin Yuanhui was very happy to see that his sister had two nephews. He stretched out his hands to take down the two children, but found that they had grown so tall after not seeing each other in two years, and there was no need for his uncle at all.

"uncle."

"Uncle."

"Hello everyone." Jin Yuanhui said, taking the baggage from his sister's hand and saying, "Let's go to the city first."

With the uncle's guidance, the group of people entered the city smoothly, changed into the carriage he came in and continued on their way.

The outer city is very large, and even if you enter the city, you are still dozens of miles away from the Jin family.

"Fifth brother, what happened to the second uncle? Wasn't he fine a year ago? Why did he suddenly..."

Jin Yuanhui glanced at his two nephews and did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "You may have to stay here for a while this time. Let's talk about the rest after we go back."

Although Jin Ling felt strange, he didn't ask any further questions. The spacious carriage fell into a dull moment.

"Uncle, Xiaochuan can practice martial arts, did you know?"

Wenxiu's words made the two adults temporarily forget their worries and started chatting along the topic.

Zu Chuan listened to their conversation, opened one of the curtains and looked at the busy street outside, with a smile on his lips.

"Xiaochuan, what are you looking at? Uncle is asking you something."

"Ah, what? I was thinking about something just now. I didn't hear what you said, uncle."

"You are still young and have worries. I ask you if you want to take part in the martial arts recruitment test."

"Yes." Zu Chuan said, "Uncle, Xiuxiu and I will both go."

Jin Yuanhui frowned and said, "You can go a year later if you are still young. That way you will be more confident."

Wenxiu said dissatisfiedly, "Uncle, do you not believe me? I tell you, I am very powerful now, and Xiaochuan is also very powerful."

Jin Yuanhui didn't really believe this. After all, the news he got during the Chinese New Year was that Zu Chuan was just able to practice, while Wenxiu was just starting to strengthen his bones, so how powerful he could be.

Seeing my uncle's disbelieving expression, Zu Chuan said, "Mom, tell me whether Xiu Xiu and I are good at each other."

Jin Ling took this opportunity to mention his current situation, hoping to get some good news from Fifth Brother.

"Little sister, are you saying that Xiaochuan now has a physical strength of 500 kilograms?"

"Yeah! We didn't expect that he would be so effective at transporting qi and blood. We don't even know where to find exercises to strengthen his bones now."

Jin Yuanhui thought for a while and said, "The best bone-strengthening techniques in Lingxi at present can only adapt to the physical strength of three hundred kilograms. I have never heard of someone who can train his strength to five hundred kilograms in the qi and blood realm."

But don’t be anxious. After these two days, ask your father to see if there is any news about his old man."

It took another three hours to arrive at Jin's house. Although it was getting late, guests were still coming and going frequently.

The Jin family has been based in Lingxi for hundreds of years. It has always been in the ore business and has no conflict of interest with other people. Now that the second master of the Jin family suddenly went west, they naturally came to express their condolences.

My uncle led them in through the side door and all the way to the meeting hall inside.

Zuchuan's grandfather Jin Kuishan is sitting in the middle. Although he is nearly seventy years old, he is still full of energy and his eyes are full of energy. He has entered the realm of martial arts and reached the legendary state of unity.

The grandmother next to her also had fair hair and a childlike face, and her eyes were full of kindness, while the four uncles stood quietly on either side of the two old people.

The dull atmosphere in the house became lively until Jin Yuanhui came in with his sister and nephew.

Jin Ling first visited his parents, then Zu Chuan and Wenxiu kowtowed to his grandparents, then met several uncles, and a set of rules was completed.

Grandma couldn't help but walked over, holding the two eldest nephews one by one, looking left and right, and shouting "good".

After answering some simple questions from the elders, the two of them were taken down by the servants.

At this time, Jin Ling asked again, "Dad, although my second uncle is not as powerful as you, he has not yet reached the end of his life. What happened?"

Jin Kuishan sighed and then said, "Your second uncle was killed."

"What? Second Uncle Yun Qi is perfect. If a strong man of your level hadn't taken action, who could have killed him? Could it have been the action of the heads of other clans?"

Jin Ling's eldest brother, Jin Yuanlang, said, "With the city lord's order, the unity realm martial artist did not dare to take action. The second uncle was surrounded and killed by three warriors with perfect Yun Qi."

"Then find out who did it?"

"I have some clues. Now only the city lord can confirm the authenticity. But I can be sure that it was not the work of our Lingxi warriors."

"Okay, let's talk about this later. Now we have to pay for your second uncle's funeral. He never married and had children in his life. What I mean is to adopt one of your children so that he can legitimately inherit his share of the property.

.”

Jin Ling said, "Dad will just discuss it with my brothers. We won't participate."

"Little sister, we want to adopt Wenxiu to the second uncle. From now on, you and Zu Hong will not go back to Zu's family. It would be great if Mr. Zu could come."

"This?" Jin Ling's unfaithfulness was false. Living in the city was of course more convenient, and she didn't have to live in separate places with her husband.

However, thinking of the child Xiuxiu, she still refused, "Brother, forget it, I'm afraid Xiuxiu has other ideas. Anyway, they will come to Wufu to study soon, and we will just stay when the time comes."

After Zu Chuan and Wenxiu finished eating, they remembered that the adults must have something to discuss, so they did not go to the meeting hall again.

There was always a room for them here, and the two of them were ready to go back to sleep.

When I came to their room, I found that it was very clean, and even the quilt was warm in the sun.

But I soon discovered something was wrong. The last time they came here, they were still young, so it was not crowded for them to sleep in the same bed.

But it's definitely not possible now. Not to mention that both of them have grown a lot taller, even sleeping together at such an age makes Zuchuan feel very awkward. They slept in separate rooms more than a year ago.

"Xiuxiu, you go to sleep first."

Wen Xiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "When they remember that we all have tomorrow, you can either squeeze in with me or get an extra quilt and sleep on the floor by yourself."

Zu Chuan lay on the ground unable to sleep and asked, "Xiuxiu, do you think grandpa will have any skills that I can practice?"

"Probably not. If there is, my uncle will definitely know about it."

"Then do you think the Lord of the City has it?"

"I don't know about this, but I don't have much hope. Didn't you hear what my uncle said? No one has ever been able to develop physical strength to five hundred kilograms in the Qi and Blood realm."

"Ah!" Zu Chuan sat up after hearing this and said, "What should I do? I won't be able to practice martial arts in the future, right?"

"It's okay if you don't practice martial arts. It's not like I won't protect you."

"Then you can't always bully me in the future."
