"How do you say that?" Lu Huanxi frowned slightly.
Ling Xiao paused, "Di Xinshui has a close relationship with Nangong Wenyi, but now that something unexpected happened, there is actually no movement in the Nangong family."
"Do you suspect that this is a trap set by Nangong Wenyi?" Lu Huanxi frowned.
"If it was really him, he wouldn't use such obviously despicable means." Ling Xiao said.
Gongsun Honglianhao rested his chin on his wrist, "Yes, for that arrogant guy, he will only despicably push you into the abyss step by step."
"After all, he is a pervert who likes to watch others fall into the trap and struggle!"
Ling Xiao's face was gloomy, showing no signs of joy or anger, "Hong Lian is right. If this is really the case, this journey to the far north will not go smoothly."
"Besides, Wen Pingyun...has a problem!"
"Are you suspecting that Wen Pingyun was bribed by the Nangong family?" Lu Huanxi frowned.
"I'm not sure about this yet. Xiaoqing agreed to this matter too quickly, and there are many doubts that I haven't thought clearly about. Only when we get to the far north can we know the full story of this matter." Ling Xiao said softly.
…
next day
Ling Xiao and the others prepared everything, and Wen Pingyun and a group of inner court disciples came to see them off.
Looking at the hundreds of people in front of them, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
After all, yesterday, Ling Xiao also ravaged them.
"When you get to that far north, contact the Luo family first and be careful!" Wen Pingyun said.
Lu Huanxi handed Ling Xiao a storage ring, leaned forward, and whispered in Ling Xiao's ear.
"My dear husband, this is the elixir I refined. You will definitely need it. Remember to think of me..."
Ling Xiao nodded and directly hugged Lu Huanxi in his arms.
After a long time, under the hostile eyes of all the disciples, the two gradually separated.
"Hypocritical!"
Glancing at Lu Huanxi behind him, Gongsun Honglian smiled contemptuously.
"snort!"
Lu Huanxi snorted coldly and stopped talking to Gongsun Honglian.
"The sooner you come back, the sooner we will get married!" Gongsun Honglian said softly.
Ling Xiao nodded, and when everyone was defenseless, Gongsun Honglian quickly stepped forward and kissed the side of Ling Xiao's face.
"Fuck!!!"
"I, I saw something!"
"Ah! This is not true, kill me, kill me quickly!"
…
The scene was filled with excitement, and the most angry person was naturally Lu Huanxi.
The beautiful woman stepped forward coldly and pushed Gongsun Honglian away.
When Ling Xiao looked confused, Lu Huanxi directly grabbed Ling Xiao's collar.
"Huan Xi...ah!"
Ling Xiao's eyes widened, and everyone present turned to stone on the spot.
With their lips facing each other, Lu Huanxi touched the tip of her tongue lightly and licked the corners of Ling Xiao's lips. Then she smiled charmingly and looked at Gongsun Honglian with a provocative expression.
"Fiancée, do you dare?"
As soon as these words came out, a blush appeared on Gongsun Honglian's cheeks.
"Yes, if there's anything you don't dare to do, just... kiss, kiss..."
As she said that, she lowered her head and stepped forward.
"Senior Sister Honglian doesn't want it!"
"Senior Sister Honglian, don't go there!"
"I can't take advantage of that bitch anymore!"
All the disciples wailed in unison and scratched their heads and ears.
When Ling Xiao saw this, he was frightened and took a step back, then stepped directly onto the flying boat, urging Jiang Qing to start.
Under the gaze of all the disciples, the flying boat floated into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
Looking at the chaotic main courtyard below, Ling Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Pingyun looked at the two people facing each other tit for tat, and the corners of his lips twitched involuntarily.
It’s really noisy...
If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have given them away!
"Boss, you are so lucky!" Jiang Qing said with a smile.
"Oh……"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and refused to comment.
…
This trip is a long one, and even if we drive the airship around the clock, it will take half a month.
Ling Xiao and the others did not rush on their way in a hurry, but stopped and walked.
Traveling across mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, you can see all the prosperity of the prosperous times. Although you have to travel hard all night, you are still at ease.
The further north you go, the colder the temperature around you becomes, and the slower the speed of the airship becomes.
A month later, the three of them were approaching the border of Tiancang Empire.
The sky gradually turned gray, and the surrounding area was covered with velvet-like snowflakes.
The three nearby cities were all covered by wind and snow.
"Boss, boss, we can see Tiancheng!"
Jiang Qing woke up Ling Xiao excitedly.
"Uh, Tiancheng?" Ling Xiao looked confused.
Qin Sa turned around and said, "Brother Xiao has never set foot on the northern border, so it's normal not to know."
"The so-called Tiancheng is the northern border of our Tiancang Empire. It is a huge city wall that stretches thousands of miles and is guarded by four of the ten guardian families."
"And in this far north, in addition to the Beiyu City controlled by the Luo family, there are also three cities, Beihan, Beiqing, and Beiguang, to facilitate the supply of the army."
"Strictly speaking, outside the Celestial City is the wilderness."
"The original intention of establishing Tiancheng is to resist the barbaric alien races. It is also the tightest defense line of our Tiancang Empire!"
Ling Xiao nodded leisurely.
Seeing Jiang Qing and Qin Sa's excited expressions, Ling Xiao did not have too many emotional fluctuations. He did not have the high patriotic sentiments of disciples from aristocratic families.
What Qin Sa said also reminded him of the General Tomb in Dongling.
The Tianmu Army also wanted to resist the aliens, but in the end, it was not so much their mission as it was that they were abandoned by the empire.
A strong sense of honor and responsibility will make you more controlled by others. This is true for generals and other aristocratic families.
But even so, Ling Xiao still stuck his head out in the cabin.
High in the sky, looking from a distance, a long line with no end in sight appears on the northern horizon.
As the flying boat approached, the long line slowly stretched, and Ling Xiao could clearly see the appearance of Tiancheng.
The towering city walls are made of stone blocks as tall as a person and can reach up to 100 feet. There are high platforms every three miles to facilitate a wide view.
He is like a giant dragon whose head and tail cannot be seen, lying on the ice and snow plateau.
If you get closer, you can see the soldiers standing on the back of the dragon in the ice and snow!
Ling Xiao couldn't help but licked his lips, this Celestial City was indeed magnificent.
The flying boat landed slowly at this moment. Ling Xiao put on thick clothes and walked out of the cabin.
"Boss, we have arrived at Beiyu City. Should we go directly to Luo's house or..."
"We first need to find out what Di Xinshui's movements were before she disappeared. We first need to find out the movements of Di's family. This will also make things easier for us," Ling Xiao said.
Jiang Qing and Qin Sa nodded, and the three of them entered Beiyu City.
The far north is already desolate and not as rich as the cities and towns in the Central Plains. Coupled with several months of wind and snow, there are not many pedestrians on the road.
"Brother Xiao?"
A soft cry made Ling Xiao and the others stunned. After turning around, they saw a familiar figure.
"Brother Dongfang, why are you here?" Ling Xiao was surprised.
The person who stopped them was Dongfang Xuan who was in the east courtyard before.
Generally speaking, the young man is stronger than when we first met, and his spiritual power has also been greatly improved.
Dongfang Xuan smiled shyly, "It's really you, I thought I was wrong!"
Ling Xiao remembered this man. He had a dull personality, a pure heart, and his strength was not weak among his peers.
"Okay, it turns out to be you, my voice sounded so familiar!"
Jiang Qing smiled heartily, stepped forward and patted Dongfang Xuan on the shoulder.
The Jiang family and the Dongfang family are both generals among the top ten families. Jiang Qing remembers Dongfang Xuan in the East Courtyard.
"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that since I was defeated by the Xiao Ling brothers last time, I returned to my family and joined the army. I came to the border to train myself!" Dongfang Xuan said.
Ling Xiao looked helplessly at Jiang Qing beside him, "Look at me, then look at you!"
"cut!"
Jiang Qing snorted coldly, with one sentence written all over his face: What's so great!
"Brother Xiao is ridiculous. Is it the mission of the main hospital for you to come here?" Dongfang Xuan asked.
"Well, we are here to find the whereabouts of Di Xinshui." Ling Xiao said.
Unexpectedly, after Dongfang Xuan heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly and his expression changed drastically.
"Brother Xiao, if it's really about this, you'd better go back as soon as possible!"
