Chapter 45: Sapphire City

The Scarface Scout's strength is no more than Qin Yun, but his sword skills are absolutely brilliant, and his sword speed is as fast as the speed of lightning, which makes Qin Yun almost breathless.

Unable to see through the opponent's sword style, Qin Yun could only passively resist.

Fortunately, he practiced all the twelve styles of the Fire Sword Technique so well. He used the most defensive style of the Iron Wall Fire Cycle to firmly block the opponent's thunder offensive.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

The intersection of sword edges and the collision of energy were as dense as rain hitting a banana leaf. Under the fierce attack of the scar-faced scout, he kept retreating, as if a small boat in a storm could capsize at any time.

However, the Scarface Scout did not have the joy of gaining the upper hand at all. He made all his strength to urge the sword to the extreme. If he was an ordinary opponent, he would inevitably have a fatal flaw under such a rapid and intensive offensive.

However, Qin Yun looked at his retreat step by step, but he kept it tightly without leaving any loopholes, so he did not give him any chance.

After more than a dozen moves, the scar-faced scout felt a little powerless.

Although he was confident that he could take Qin Yun, it was definitely not something that could be done in a short while. Once Qin Yun’s reinforcements arrived, he would probably be himself who was taken down!

After weighing the trade-offs, the Scarface Scout made a quick decision.

Lao Liu, I'm sorry!

He looked at his companion who was still lying on the ground and howled, and his sword suddenly changed.

Before Qin Yun had time to react, the scar-faced scout's thin sword ruthlessly pierced through the throat of another scout!

Killing his companion, he suddenly spread his body and rushed towards the forest on the right.

The scar-faced scout was too fast, and even if Qin Yun wanted to stop him, he couldn't even have time. He could only watch his opponent escape calmly.

call out!

The moment when the scar-faced scout was about to sneak into the bushes, an extremely dazzling sword energy suddenly broke through the air and slashed straight towards him!

The scar-faced scout was shocked and instinctively raised his sword to block it.

clang!

The sword energy dissipated invisible, and the scarred scout stood there in a daze and astonishment in its originally fierce eyes.

The willow-leaf sword in his hand broke into two pieces silently, and a thin blood mark fell straight down from his forehead.

The next moment, the body of the scar-faced scout, which was broken by the sword energy, fell down with a bang. The bright red blood mixed with colorful internal organs flowed all over the ground, and he could not die again!

Twenty steps away, Lin Dong quietly appeared.

Qin Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the deacon of the Guest House appear.

The sword light just now came, and although it was not for him, the amazing momentum that broke through the heaven and earth still made him breathe stagnate.

This sword allowed Qin Yun to truly understand the power of the swordsmanship of the Great Perfection Powerful Qi Refining Realm!

"You've done a great job!"

Lin Dong walked over slowly, and a rare smile appeared on his face, which had always been solemn and rigid: "Go to search them and see which bandit group is the scout."

On the corpse, Qin Yun found two black metal cards.

The metal plate is only half the size of a palm, and I don’t know what material it is made of. It is heavy and very heavy, and there are complex patterns carved on the surface.

He handed these two metal cards to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong looked around and the gods gradually became solemn: "It was the scout of the mountain wind. I didn't expect their power to expand here so quickly!"

Yanyun has four great bandits, the mountain wind, the black old demon, the iron nurse and the white snake. These four giant bandits have the strength of the innate realm and thousands of subordinates, gathering in the mountains and forests to cause disaster.

The mountain wind territories are mainly located in the south of Lantian, Xijun, and are also the enemy of the Qin clan.

Although the Qin family cooperated with the Great Yan army to repeatedly encircle and suppress the bandits, they had never really eliminated this group of bandits. In recent years, they have become stronger and stronger. They have repeatedly attacked the Qin family's mines and caravans, causing great losses to the Qin family.

As a deacon in the guest hall, Lin Dong knew very well how powerful the mountain wind was.

"Qin Yun, you can meet with the caravan first and pass on my order to speed up. We must arrive at Lan Yucheng within two days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Dong's figure flashed and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

………

The appearance of the thief scouts made the caravan suddenly nervous. The coachman urged the pack horse to speed up, and the number of scouts sent by the outside world increased to ten.

However, Qin Yun's mission was replaced, and those who were replaced were veterans of the Keqing Hall. Their strength was stronger than the children of the Foreign Affairs Hall and had richer experience.

However, the caravan walked all the way through the mountains for two days until he walked out of the mountains and entered the plains of Lantian County, and he did not encounter any trouble again.

The scouts of the mountain wind did not appear as if they had disappeared, or the two guys who were killed by Qin Yun and Lin Dong were just accidental accidents.

But Lin Dong obviously didn't think so, because he recognized the scar-faced scout from the nameplate as the captain of the Coastal Wind Scout Team, and he would never have come to travel around.

After walking on the hilly plains of Lantian County for another day, a towering city finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Lantian County is located in remote areas and poor properties. Although its area is at the forefront of many counties in the Dayan Dynasty, most of it is barren mountains and Gobi, and the fertile plain land is less than one-tenth of Guiyang County.

If it weren't for the production of precious Lantian jade, it would have become a wilderness.

Lan Yucheng is the county government of Lantian County, and this city with a population of 100,000 is also the only prosperous place in Lantian County.

But its prosperity is far from comparable to Qianchao City.

Entering Lanyu City from the East City Gate, what hits me was the unpleasant smell of dust mixed with horse manure. Most of the buildings on both sides of the road have been disrepaired for a long time, revealing a decayed and dilapidated atmosphere.

There are not many shops and restaurants, and there are no bustling pedestrians. Many ragged beggars lie on the corner of the street, and the ox cart carrying firewood slowly ran over the uneven streets, making a squeaking sound.

In such a dilapidated situation, it seemed that the glory of the Great Yan Empire had never shone here.

The newcomers who came here for the first time were stunned - can this be regarded as the capital of a county?

The caravan turned south into another street, and the surrounding environment improved a little, at least he could see patrolling soldiers and relatively clean road surfaces.

After walking for half an hour, the team stopped in front of a mansion.

Above the dark red door, the red painted vermilion bird pattern clearly shows the owner of the mansion.

Soon someone ran out of it and greeted the children who were busy all the way.

"This is the Lantian Branch of our Muyang Road. You can rest for three days first, and then we will return to Qianchao City after three days." Lin Dong said to them: "Each person will give a subsidy of fifty taels of silver. Nancheng here is still good, and there are restaurants and brothels, but don't play too much!"

The children looked at each other and cheered at the same time. After walking on the road with fear for more than ten days, they finally could relax.

"But there are many people from the Wu clan in the city, and they often cause trouble for us, so remember that there is no need to cause trouble, otherwise the rules in the church will not spare you!"

A basin of cold water poured on the heads of the hot-headed children, and the cheers came to an abrupt end.

A thin smile appeared on the corner of Lin Dong's mouth: "Of course, if the other party took the initiative to provoke, you should not weaken the majesty of our Qin family. Just don't cause any death."

The young and energetic children became excited again, and they were all ready to try.

The Wu family is the long-standing rival of the Qin family. Many children of the clan will regard fighting with the Wu family members as honor, but it is difficult to have such an opportunity in Qianchao City.

Lan Yucheng and Qianchaocheng are completely different. Both sides have much less concern. In order to compete for local jade ore resources, conflicts are quite frequent.

That's why Lin Dong specially warned them.

But he would not enclose his children in the branch and not go out. Without going through the hardships and hardships, how can these newcomers carry the future of the Qin family?

Putting down all the children of the Foreign Affairs Hall and a batch of supplies, Lin Dong and the caravan left quickly.

They also have to go to various mines and send another group of guards to ensure the safety of the caravan on the road.

Although Lan Yucheng is dilapidated, the Qin family’s branch here is well built.

Each child is assigned to a separate rest room, so the first choice for most people is to lie on the soft and warm bed and sleep comfortably.

Even Qin Yun is no exception.

He crossed mountains and rivers along the way. Since he was scouted by a thief, he always had a string in his heart, and he was very tired both physically and mentally.

After rinsing a hot bath and washing away the dust of the journey, Qin Yun fell on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found that it was already dark outside.

After sleeping for a long time, Qin Yun felt very excited when he woke up again.

He stretched out his muscles and bones, took out a new set of clothes from his bag and put them on, and left the room with the Qinggang sword.

There are many children from the Foreign Affairs Hall who stayed behind the branch, but Qin Yun was not familiar with him, and even none of his friends, so he was alone when he went to visit Lan Yucheng at night.

When we walked out of the Muyang Road Branch, it was completely dark. The shops and houses on both sides of the street lit up the lanterns hanging under the eaves of the corridors. The orange-yellow lights evenly illuminated the blue-gray stone road.

The Lan Yu City shrouded in the night, the style is completely different from that during the day, and many of the dirty and dilapidated are covered up.

The south city is much more prosperous and lively than the east city. Many shops selling jade jewelry are open, and most of the customers entering and leaving are merchants, warriors and women.

Qin Yun didn't know anything about jade, but since he came to Lan Yucheng, it would be a pity to go back without a few jade decorations.

Bang!

Just as Qin Yun was about to find a family to go in and take a look, a figure suddenly flew out of the shop in front and fell heavily in front of him.

Qin Yun was shocked and stopped.
