Xu Zhong pondered for a while, and finally turned all his anxiety into a long sigh.
Anyway, when it comes to this point, there are things you have to say even if you don’t say them.
"Brother Long, do you feel that you have been deceived?" Xu Zhong thought for a long time before speaking.
"I have this feeling." Long Wenmu said.
It’s not that I feel like I’ve been cheated, it’s that I’ve been cheated outright.
Tianhu stared at him: "What? So you don't even know about joining Lingyun Castle?"
"Shut up." Xu Zhong shouted.
Tianhu quickly covered it with his hands and made a gesture of saying no more. Even a nervous guy like him realized that he might have missed something with his big mouth.
"Let's talk about it. There's no need to hide the matter now, right? What kind of force is Lingyun Castle? Why do you have to induce the two of us to join?"
Long Wenmu said "inducing" in a much gentler tone than "deceiving".
Long Wenmu actually regarded these two people as close friends. Although these two people deceived him some things, they never had any intention of harming him.
He had just arrived here, so he treated himself to fine wine.
If what they greeted him was not fine wine but pure scheming, maybe Long Wenmu wouldn't be so polite to them at this moment.
Xu Zhong took two deep breaths: "Brother Long, your initial target should be Qingyun Castle. You don't have to say that you feel you have been deceived. It's just that sometimes if you change the angle, you may not be deceived."
"How do you say that?" Long Wenmu looked into his eyes.
"Actually, this Lingyun Fort can be considered a part of Qingyun Fort in some aspects." Xu Zhong said.
Long Wenmu frowned, partially? What does this mean?
Xu Zhong saw his doubts and asked: "Brother Long, do you know what kind of power Qingyun Castle is?"
Long Wenmu shook his head. To be honest, he wanted to join Qingyun Castle only because of Qian Lingxue's invitation.
He knew that Qingyun Castle was very powerful, but he didn't know the details of what kind of power this power was.
"The current king of Yunxuan Kingdom is named Yun Rulong, and Qingyun Castle is his power. Brother Long can regard Qingyun Castle as the royal sect."
"I seem to have heard something." Long Wenmu was not too surprised. He had heard similar words from Qian Lingxue and Qing'er, and he also heard a lot of related things along the way.
"Brother Yun, do you know that Emperor Yun Rulong has a sister who is the current princess of Yunxuan Kingdom?"
"I've never heard of that."
"In fact, it was this princess who founded Lingyun Castle." Xu Zhong said, "Three years ago, there was a conflict between the princess and the emperor, and then she founded her own branch. This is the origin of Lingyun Castle."
Long Wenmu bit his lip gently, as if thinking about something: "You mean, Lingyun Castle is equivalent to a branch of Qingyun Castle?"
"Let's put it this way. This princess is originally a member of the royal family, and even if she sets up her own business, she is still a member of the royal family. Although she founded Lingyun Castle, she is still a force of the royal family, so in the eyes of outsiders, Lingyun Castle is actually equivalent to a branch of Qingyun Castle
.However, internally, Lingyun Castle is not subject to orders from the current monarch, and only obeys the orders of the princess. It can also be said to be relatively independent."
Long Wenmu tapped his fingers on the stone table. Hearing what Xu Zhong said, he probably understood.
To put it bluntly, Lingyun Castle is actually a sect that has an intersection with Qingyun Castle. It can be regarded as a branch in name, but this place is only governed by the princess.
"You mean the Lingyun Castle that the princess founded three years ago?" Long Wenmu asked.
Tianhu interjected enthusiastically: "Yes, yes, think about it. Three years ago, my lord had no idea what trouble he had with the emperor. He refused to accept any resources from the royal family and relied on himself.
He used all his strength to pull Lingyun Fort up. Every soldier here was personally recruited by the Lord. Every stone and tile here was built by the Lord trying every means to raise resources. Even a woman has this ability. We, the great men,
It’s so shameful.”
Long Wenmu felt sad. If this is true, it is indeed not simple.
Although this place is not big, considering that it was built from scratch in three years, this ability cannot be underestimated.
"Speaking of which, my lord, you have really good taste. I have recruited you into my employ today. I think you are very pleasing to me, much more so than the gang from Qingyun Castle. Haha, is it possible that you don't know yet? Then
An adult is actually..."
Before Tianhu finished speaking, Xu Zhong kicked him hard under the table, wrapped his voice with demonic power and spoke to him.
Tianhu was dumbfounded for a while, scratching his head, his face full of confusion, but he did not dare to continue talking.
Long Wenmu was pondering: "What about the scale and background of Lingyun Castle now?"
Xu Zhong was a little sarcastic: "After all, the establishment time is too short. To tell you the truth, the last time you saw our people in the mountains, we had almost 50 people in Lingyun Castle."
Although he had expected it, Long Wenmu couldn't help but sigh when he heard him say this.
Last time I saw dozens of people, that was half the manpower. The total manpower of Lingyun Castle is probably only a hundred people. This scale is really shabby.
"Not even a great demon master?" Long Wenmu asked.
"No." Xu Zhong shook his head.
Anyway, the matter has been revealed, so there is no need to hide anything.
Tianhu hummed carelessly beside him: "What's wrong without a great demon master? Who among the people here is greedy for glory and wealth? Everyone follows the adults wholeheartedly. If your strength is low, you can practice, and if you don't have money, you can still make money. Anyway,
I think this place is pretty good. I think back then I was just a butcher, but if it weren’t for adults, I might not even be a demon master now.”
"What about your lord? Whose name is she? I want to meet her." Long Wenmu said calmly.
Xu Zhong and Tianhu were immediately in trouble.
Xu Zhong had just conveyed some words to Tianhu, but Tianhu did not dare to say them easily.
"Um... Your Excellency has been very busy recently and is not here. If you want to see me, I will introduce you to him another day..." Xu Zhong tried to say.
Tianhu also responded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, see you another day, see you another day, what's the rush?"
"Now that the matter has come to this, I have said all I can to you, Brother Long. Although I cannot force you to do so, I still hope that you and Brother Yu will give it more consideration. My lord really wants you to stay in Lingyun Castle. Although
There won’t be too many cultivation resources for the time being, but I believe that as long as you have the guidance of adults, one day Lingyun Castle will not weaken Qingyun Castle.”
Long Wenmu could tell that he didn't mean what he said when he said this.
What can't weaken Qingyun Castle? A large sect like Qingyun Castle has been passed down from generation to generation. How can it be so easy to catch up with the foundation accumulated over the years?
Sooner or later, I will be on par with Qingyun Castle. To say this is a bit self-deceiving.
Long Wenmu didn't answer them immediately, he just shook his head and grabbed a wine jar and stood up.
"I'm no longer interested in drinking. You two, please go back. I'm sleepy. Let's talk another day." With that said, he returned to his room with the wine jar. The door was closed and the ban was opened.
Xu Zhong and Tianhu looked at each other, waited for a while, and finally had no choice but to leave.
In the room, Long Wenmu was lying on the bed.
These things today were all unexpected by him.
Instead of joining Qingyun Castle, he entered Lingyun Castle by mistake.
The emperor of Yunxuan Kingdom, Yun Rulong, had a royal surname of Yun, so the princess who founded Lingyun Castle should also have a surname of Yun.
The surname is Yun...still a woman...Yunjia.
Long Wenmu smiled hoarsely, thinking about the previous bits and pieces, combined with what he saw and heard today, if he still couldn't figure out the key to this, he would have lived in vain for more than ten years.
Unexpectedly, Yunjia half-pushed him and pulled him into Lingyun Castle. But after calming down and thinking about it, Tianhu and Xu Zhong are both pretty good people. Yunjia was just trying to get himself to join the gang, but in fact
There isn't much malice.
Now, he didn't know whether he should be angry, complain, or feel sorry. With many emotions mixed together, he fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again it was already the morning of the next day.
After spending almost two months in the wilderness, it was rare to sleep so comfortably. When I woke up, all the fatigue on my body was gone.
When I walked out of the house, I saw Marshal Yu sitting cross-legged in the corner of the courtyard, meditating and absorbing demon crystals.
Long Wenmu was really shocked by his appearance.
So diligent? This guy is definitely not normal.
Disturbed by Long Wenmu's voice, Marshal Yu opened his eyes.
"Are you worried?" Long Wenmu tried to ask.
This guy has been very unusual during this period. He was not afraid of death in the Demon Tomb, and now he has changed his previous lazy habit. Long Wenmu really didn't believe that he was not worried.
"I don't need to tell you what's on my mind." Marshal Yu actually said something back.
Long Wenmu didn't bother to care about him. After thinking about it for a while, he told him exactly what he heard yesterday.
After hearing what Long Wenmu said, Marshal Yu jumped up: "You mean...this is not Qingyun Castle?"
"Well, it's not Qingyun Fort, it's Lingyun Fort." Long Wenmu said seriously.
Marshal Yu suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball.
"Then what do we do now?" he asked.
Long Wenmu rubbed his forehead. To be honest, he was a little hesitant.
In this situation, it stands to reason that he should just leave. In fact, there should be no hesitation. How could a mere token restrain him?
But every time this kind of thought comes up, I always think of that heroic figure and what Xu Zhong and the others said to me yesterday, and I feel a little unbearable for some reason.
If he just couldn't bear it, that would be it. Long Wenmu was not a kind and compassionate living Buddha, so he didn't bother to care about him so much.
But thinking about it from another aspect, Lingyun Castle is actually equivalent to a branch of Qingyun Castle. In this way, I can be regarded as a member of Qingyun Castle in some form.
Reason told him that it was unwise to stay, but there were countless thoughts that were always interfering with his decision.
While I was thinking about it, I heard footsteps outside and turned around to see Xu Zhong.
"Brother Long, Brother Yu, you two are up." Xu Zhong was enthusiastic.
Long Wenmu just smiled at him: "Brother Xu, come here early in the morning. Do you have anything?"
Xu Zhongsan nodded: "Haha, you two look good today. In fact, I want to see you. I have informed you about yesterday's incident, and I also want to ask you personally whether you want to go or stay."
"What? She doesn't plan to force us to stay?"
"How could this happen? It's true that my lord wants to keep you, but if you really don't want to, my lord will not force you to stay. In fact, my lord also regrets not telling the truth to you two before, so he wants to see you.
On your side, instead of continuing to be suspicious of each other, it might be better to have some words."
Long Wenmu looked at Marshal Yu, but Marshal Yu shrank his head: "It's up to you to decide whether I want to go or not. I don't care. I'm not interested in meeting any princess."
Saying this, he actually ran back to meditate and practice again.
Long Wenmu really felt strange. Something must have happened to this guy recently. He had practiced so hard that he was almost crazy.
Marshal Yu didn't want to go, so he had no choice but to follow Xu Zhong alone.
It wasn't until he arrived in front of a certain building behind the mountain that Xu Zhong signaled Long Wenmu to go in.
"Go in, the master will be waiting for you inside."
Long Wenmu took a deep breath, opened the door of the building and walked in.
The large room was empty, and no one else was seen.
Judging from the decoration, it looks like a place where a woman lives.
There is a horizontal gauze curtain in front, and behind the gauze curtain there is a figure looming.
The outline of the figure is that of a woman that makes people think about it. She is sitting sideways on a chair, and her specific appearance cannot be clearly seen.
