Douluo's full-time soul master

Chapter 208 Insert Seven

——Donghua Continent——Donghua Kingdom——Rige Canyon——Bian'an City——September 398, 9, Yongxin Calendar——

After nearly a month's journey, they finally arrived outside Bian'an City.Xiyan woke up her weak sister, and helped her mother get out of the car with her help.The father and younger brother Chen Hui who were riding in front also got off their horses at this time.

What a big city!Much bigger than expected.Xiyan came to Bian'an City, she was only six or seven years old at that time, and she couldn't remember much at all.A group of green-robed guards and aristocratic officials from all over the city lined the road to welcome them.

On the high platform on the left side of the gate, the king, queen, Crown Prince Jienan, and Princess Luwu stood side by side, and ten of the thirteen elite guards of the royal family stood behind them. The prince and princess have not changed at all. Xi Yan noticed.And His Majesty the King looks really majestic - even a little too majestic, making people breathless.But on closer inspection, the king's face was very haggard.It really echoes the old saying: The greater the power, the faster you age.Of course, it is also possible to die faster.

"Brother-in-law!" The king pulled himself together and hugged Xiyan's father to the cheerful beat of "Welcome to Bian'an".And the father was at a loss. "You've come! Do you know how much the country needs you, how much your king needs you!"

"Your Majesty, I'm almost here." Xiangqian took a step back and knelt down on one knee, "Your Majesty, I, Tianjiao Xianggan, are always at your service." Afterwards, the king embraced his younger sister, Xiyan's mother .

Heard that your king murdered his own chancellor?Xi Yan looked at the king carefully: short dark black hair was bundled in a crown; a thin mustache was combed into a figure-eight shape; listless brown pupils held up a bit of energy; the originally unattractive square chin was stacked in two layers; The waistline is not generally outstanding.This king is not afraid of being unstable even in the hurricane of destruction!
Xiyan brought her younger sister to salute.To be honest, Xirui's performance is much better than that of her older sister.Xi Rui was born a lady.

The king was not rude either. "The longer the niece is, the more beautiful she is! Brother-in-law, your two daughters are very good, unlike my wayward princess, who will do what you don't let her do!"

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty, you will be disappointed to find that this eldest lady of my family also has such virtues. Hahaha~"

The king proposed to go to the city to talk again, so Xianggan let people arrange a residence in the castle first.At this time, Xiyan suddenly found Shizhen standing behind the prince—oh my God!What happened, it's too embarrassing!This kid, Jiyun Shizhu, actually became the prince's attendant?Does the prince know about my relationship with him? ? ?The more Xiyan thought about it, the more confused she became, not knowing what to do.

After passing through five or six streets, you can see Xiangxiebao standing on a high hill by the sea.The majestic blue castle is located in the west of Bian'an City, showing its tall body to every street in the city without any concealment.Xiangxie Fort was built thousands of years ago and has been renovated and updated continuously.There is no doubt that he is extremely strong.Even if the enemy occupied other areas of Bian'an City, they would undoubtedly seek death if they wanted to besiege Xiangxie Fort.

Xiangxie Fort has five outer towers and a towering outer city wall.On the inner floor, there are five tall towers and a circle of taller granite walls.There are three towers in the center, the largest one is called "Xianglong Tower", and the other two are called "Yongxin Tower". It is used to commemorate King Yongxin I who unified the kingdom 400 years ago. He is not the traitor younger brother of the current king. ; One is called "Bowang Tower", which is used to commemorate the legendary hero who led the army to sweep the Crossbow Islands.Of course, no one has the guts to seek death from the people of Gongdao now, even if the "Sacred Arrow" fleet of the people from Gongdao was wiped out three years ago.

The procession crossed the Harmony Square and climbed the long stairs leading to the castle gates.Suddenly, there seemed to be a tidy shout from behind. Xiyan turned around first, and saw a neatly walking team coming from Sanlin Avenue.A flag with a green hand on a gray background fluttered above that team.

"Protest!" "Protest!" "Pay, we want to pay!"

Xi Yan could only hear these clearly.The King's family and Tianjiao's family on the stairs stopped, and came back to see who was marching to express their dissatisfaction.The ten elite guards of the royal family also tossed their golden robes, turned around, and stood beside the royal family and the Tianjiao family. "Your Majesty, what's going on?" Xianggan asked the king.

"The Emerald Hand, a craftsman's guild. It's strange to say that Master Qingzhi made this matter so chaotic, and his subordinates even asked for prices. He didn't know who assassinated him a few days ago. It really gave me a headache." Big. I didn't say I'd pay 15 guineas for a new garden. I said it was [-] when the tender was called."

Before the king could finish speaking, the parade crowd in the square fell silent. "Your Majesty!" A leading man knelt on one knee, then got up. "Your Majesty, Lord Tianjiao, I am the president of Emerald Hands, the contractor of the newly built Royal Emerald Garden. On behalf of all the members of Emerald Hands and the workers who work for us, I implore you to increase our remuneration so that the workers can Eat enough and dress warmly, so that we can have an account for our wives, children, and children. May Your Majesty give you the best advice, and I will be very grateful!"

"The widow has no extra money, and the national treasury has not been filled for a long time. I really can't satisfy this request!" The king responded confidently, "And the widow only promised you 15 at the beginning, but you said it was [-]? You don't know the situation yourself. , Don't blame the widow!"

The parade crowd in the square started commotion again.At this time, Xi Yan noticed a small team coming from Guangming Avenue, but everyone in this team was dirty and seemed to be beggars.

"We want food! We want bread!" "Protest!" "Protest!" "Pay!" the marching crowd began to shout again.This time, it seems difficult to calm down.

Xianggan turned to look at the king, "Your Majesty, you'd better appease them first, at least make a promise first."

Xiyan noticed that the beggar-like team that had just arrived scattered into the parade, and the president seemed to be in a mess.

The king said casually: "Brother-in-law, you are inexperienced. The best way to deal with such unreasonable troublemakers is to ignore them. Let's go back to the castle! Look, we will reach the gate after climbing [-] more levels." .”

Just when they all turned around and were about to continue walking upwards, all kinds of sundries hit the ground before they could scream, the queen suddenly fell to the ground, her temples were bloody and bloody. However, Xiyan turned around a bit later, and she happened to see that the stones were the beggars who had just sneaked in It was thrown by an extremely ugly black-haired man in the team.The man has a pair of protruding ears and a big mouth
More debris was thrown away too.Xi Yan hurriedly dodged, but was hit by an egg on the shoulder.She tries to keep her balance.

"Yuhuan!!!" The king screamed and watched his queen fall to the ground, "Quick! Get rid of them! Get rid of them! No, no, catch these troublemakers for me!!!"

Xiyan stepped on a vegetable leaf.The sky spins, the ground spins, and the stone steps rush towards her.
——Donghua Continent——Donghua Kingdom——Rige Canyon——Bian'an City——September 398, 9, Yongxin Calendar——

God, oh my God, everything is messed up.she thought.

"Stop! Who threw it? Stop!" President Yuan Tuwen yelled hysterically, "Stop! Stop! You've messed up everything!"

Mu Xia's father tried his best to squeeze over, "President, that's not one of us!"

When the blue-robed soldiers and gold-cloaked guards rushed towards them, the crowd dispersed quickly.There were more than a dozen people who were trampled on the ground, and some were captured on the spot.Mu Xia couldn't find where her father was, but she could only escape on her own.But the guards chased after him all the way to the east gate of Bian'an City.
Mu Xia rushed out of the gate with the fleeing team, and then scattered in all directions.The blue-robed soldiers did not chase them out after all.In a grove full of fallen leaves, she found the president and father.

"It's over! It's over!" The president lamented, "How could this happen?" He couldn't continue.

Mu Xia found out that the president's wife was not there, only his son Zeze and daughter Sasha.Mu Xia sat down and listened quietly to his father comforting the president.Father is an optimistic mercenary, but also a noble errant knight.Soon, the white-bearded mason Apocalypse Yakang staggered closer, and the red-haired carpenter Lankai Dalong also arrived soon.

"What's going on!" the carpenter beat his chest, "We can't get anything now!"

"We will lose everything." The president added desperately, "We are finished." The president's face was like a falling autumn leaf, withered and lifeless.

Mu Xia walked around, looking at those people sitting on the ground in small groups.Among them are businessmen, craftsmen, workers, beggars, tramps, and street gangsters.However, at this moment, these people were all so similar. She knew that some of these people did not belong to the Emerald Hand, but came to support them.She didn't know how long everyone would stay here, whether they could go back, and whether they would be arrested if they went back.

What did those people do? ? ?Mu Xia gets angry when she thinks of those guys throwing things.Those people infiltrated the team and screwed everything up.Who are they? ? ! !
When Mu Xia returned to his father and president, Ku Ye Yanxu also arrived with a dozen brothers.Yan Xu and two of them also took weapons—the kind of spears used by the green-robed guards.

"We ran out from the northeast gate. A knight in gold robes led a few men in green robes to chase after us. There were four more blocking the way at the gate. We had no choice but to grab the gatekeeper's weapon. That idiot of the third handsome One of the gatekeepers was stabbed to death with a single shot, what a fucking coward; Ershuai, Dayong and I took the weapons of the other three, stabbed two to death, and knocked out one before we escaped; but Ah Yan was chased behind Bing captured alive, what a goddamn ass!"

After chatting for a while, these people had no choice but to walk around, swearing a few dirty words from time to time.Mu Xia could only sit silently beside her father, listening to the president sigh.She couldn't help asking, "Is my sister-in-law here yet?"

The president turned to look at her, and then punched the dirt with his fist, "It's all my fault! It's all my fault!"

A sleepless night in the deciduous forest.

The next morning, she and Yan Xu entered the city through the east gate and southeast gate separately.Mu Xia went to the headquarters of the Emerald Hand Guild first.Sure enough, the place was sealed off, and there were two green robes guarding it.If the "Punisher" was in hand, it would not be a problem to cut down these two guys, Mu Xia thought to himself.

Then, she came to Xiangxie Square, accompanied by a stench and bloody smell, she saw a row of spears with human heads on the battlements of Xiangxiebao's high outer city wall.Oh, sister-in-law.There are also the old gardener Nai Huang Qiugui, Sanshuai, Ayan, Lankai Dalong's wife, and the son and daughter-in-law of Tianqi Yakang with a white beard.Those who were locked up were countless.

She went to the small place she and her father had rented, put on her own chain mail suit, put the "punisher" on her back, and packed some gold coins and her father's small items into a small brown bag.Wearing the helmet, others have no way of knowing whether she is a man or a woman.Now she looks full of aura, like a legendary hero who walked out of an ancient book.

I was once again the fearless and fearless female warrior I was on the other side of the ocean.Mu Xia thought to herself.If anyone dares to trouble me when I leave the city, I will kill them.However, the difference between knights and mercenaries is not just horses and spurs, but more importantly, honor and faith.

Three years ago, in the lost underground city named Aokai, Mu Xia used a rusty iron sword picked up anywhere to stab the giant-winged demon's vitals, saving his father from being killed.However, their employer, a Kael'thar pyromancer who dyed his beard colorful, was killed by the demon sword.In this way, Mu Xia got the "Punisher".

It seemed like it was a lifetime ago.Mu Xia thought to herself: Now that I wear too many robes, I am not used to wearing chain armor.

"Hurry up, there are still a few wanted criminals outside!" A black-robed knight rushed towards the east gate with several green-robed soldiers.They must be going out of town.

No, the president and the others don't know yet.Impatient, Mu Xia strode forward, the chain armor collided and clanged.When she came to the east gate, she was stopped by the green-robed soldiers guarding the gate.

"Stand!" The guard on the left shouted, "Take off your helmet!" Another guard whispered, "Looking at his attire, could he be a mercenary from the other side of the ocean?" "In short, he is neither a knight nor a squire. But his sword is a good one."

Mu Xia was extremely nervous.Am I really going to do this?Should I draw my sword and kill them?No, not so reckless, this is not across the ocean.People on the other side of the ocean call this continent "Estrom, the Land of Sunrise", and even use the word Eastham as a code name for unfreedom.The king of this great kingdom is very powerful, and has the support of the noble lords of the entire continent.

She took off her helmet slowly, hoping the guards wouldn't recognize her.

"It's so beautiful." The guard on the left exclaimed. "I bet she's the daughter of a sonless knight." Another guard disagreed. "Nonsense, I've seen her before, in the communal mess in Blackbell Street. The chick was pretty close to a gunslinger, and knew a few street thugs. I think they got her the outfit. .Hello, is it comfortable to wear?"
