Chapter 270 Sauvignon Blanc 27
Ling Xi and An Nian walked leisurely from the foot of the mountain into the mountain. The two sisters chatted as they walked, as if they were not going to the dreaded Chen Rongjun base, but to some beautiful place.
Ling Xi received a reply from Hong Jiang of Chen Rongjun, saying that he was willing to meet with Qi Jinchao's master, so Ling Xi took An Nian to Chen Rong's base.
"Sister, does that person know that you are Qi Jinzhao's master?"
Anian fanned herself and brushed aside her messy hair. Her cheeks were rosy because she had been walking for a long time.
Ling Xi didn't answer, but smiled and asked: "A Nian, who are you talking about?"
Ah Nian blurted out, "Xiangliu, sister, do you think I would recognize that person? The white clothes and white hair are such obvious signs. Anyone who knows him in the whole wilderness should not make a mistake."
Unless one is blind or has never heard of Xiangliu's reputation, anyone should be able to guess that representative outfit.
Ling Xi looked at Ah Nian's fair face and chuckled, "It seems that our Ah Nian is also a sensible person."
"Qi Jin Chao is the biggest power under my name. How could I let anyone know that now, except for some people following me, no one knows that this Chamber of Commerce power spread all over the wilderness is mine."
Qi Jin Chao was established by Ling Xi in order to deal with the four major clans. When the power of the four major clans could no longer threaten the royal family, the master of Qi Jin Chao could be exposed.
Today, it remains one of the most mysterious existences in the wilderness.
Half an hour later, in the back mountain of Qingshui Town, in front of the entrance of Chen Rong’s forbidden base.
The trees that covered the sky cast a large shadow, which fell on the man in white clothes standing in front of the entrance. His tall figure was upright and handsome.
Xiangliu squatted on a tree and saw two women walking up from the foot of the mountain from afar.
Coincidentally, he knew both of those people.
One of them was very familiar to me and we had watched the moon together some time ago.
Xiangliu stared closely at the woman in red, his eyes kind and with complex emotions flashing in them.
Today, he came here on the orders of his adoptive father to wait for the owner behind the Qi Jinchao Chamber of Commerce who had been providing them with food and medicinal materials. Especially this time with the miasma, if Qi Jinchao had not delivered the medicinal materials in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.
But now these two people appeared here, what was there for Xiangliu not to understand? These were the masters behind Qi Jinchao.
After seeing these people, Xiangliu didn't think it was so strange. When he was a little kid, he had so many extraordinary people under his command. It is not impossible for him to establish a Qi Jinzhao now.
Ling Xi walked to the entrance and saw the person squatting on the branch. She smiled at him, her eyes as bright as stars.
Hearing this smile, Xiangliu's original unhappiness faded away quietly, and the cold and faint breath eased his dullness.
He jumped off the tree trunk, landed in front of Ling Xi, and said coldly: "Let's go."
Ling Xi's voice was very gentle: "Okay."
Anian's gaze kept wandering between her sister and the big devil in the eyes of the people of the Great Wilderness. Why was this situation different from what she had imagined?
Logically speaking, the scene here should not be that Xiangliu feels deceived, and then speaks coldly to her sister, and then her sister mocks her back, and then their relationship breaks down, and she takes the opportunity to comfort her sister, be her sister's caring little cotton-padded jacket, and completely destroy the impression of Xiangliu, this bastard, in her sister's mind.
How come the two of them are so harmonious now? She even felt that Xiangliu, this bastard, looked at her sister with very gentle eyes.
After entering the deep mountains, Ling Xi followed Xiang Liu and walked for nearly half an hour before arriving at Chen Rongjun's camp.
Chen Rongjun’s camp was composed of wooden houses scattered among the tall and dense woods.
Some houses are big, some are small, and they all look exactly the same. From the outside, you can't tell anything. There are tall trees all around, as boundless as the sea. If outsiders don't pay attention, it's not easy to find this place.
Ling Xi stood in the camp, looking at the Chen Rong soldiers scattered around the camp, who were training separately, with uniform shouts heard from time to time.
Ling Xi has seen soldiers training countless times and has participated in it countless times.
She had been to Hao Ling's army and even stayed there for many years, training with the soldiers. She had also seen the armies trained by Hao Ling's four divisions, and in terms of training, there was no difference between them and the Chen Rong Army here.
But some things are different. Haoling’s army exists to protect Haoling Country and the people of Haoling.
But these Chen Rong soldiers before their eyes have been carrying out boring training day after day, year after year. They have no country to defend and no people to protect. They persist for a long time like a group of fools, just for a belief called Chen Rong.
The descendants of the Chenrong royal family have all surrendered to Xiyan, but they are still holding on.
At this moment, Ling Xi admired them from the bottom of his heart, admired this group of fools who had persisted for hundreds of years.
Ling Xi looked at Xiang Liu again. He was dressed in white and seemed out of tune with this group of Chen Rong soldiers. However, he completely belonged to the Chen Rong Army and fought for it.
Monsters are free-spirited by nature and impatient with discipline.
As Xiangliu was a nine-headed monster, he was even more arrogant and certainly more disdainful, but he put away his arrogance and laxity, and did things in a disciplined manner every day, which was perhaps the thing he disdained the most in his heart.
Xiangliu is just as much of a fool as Chen Rongjun.
"What do you think? Do you think they are all a bunch of fools?"
Xiangliu asked, his voice calm as water, but his eyes filled with tenderness, towards Chen Rongjun.
Ling Xi turned to look at Xiang Liu, his eyes sparkling, and asked instead of answering: "Then do you think they are stupid?"
"Silly." Xiangliu answered without hesitation.
"But they are a group of admirable fools, aren't they?"
Ling Xi lowered his eyes and smiled, "In this world, some people fight for life, some fight for money, and some fight for power, but there will always be a group of people who will fight for a belief in their hearts, even if they are torn to pieces."
Like Hong Jiang, like these Chen Rongjun.
Xiangliu was shocked.
"well said!"
A man's hearty and rough voice sounded behind Ling Xi and the other two. Ling Xi subconsciously turned around and saw a burly middle-aged man wearing armor. He had a dark complexion, a rough look, but a pair of sharp eyes that sparkled with spirit. He looked as majestic, lonely and murderous as an eagle flying high in the sky.
When he saw this man, Ling Xi knew that he was Chen Rong's general Hong Jiang.
"Junior greets the general."
Ling Xi bowed slightly, bent his back in a small arc, and saluted Hong Jiang as a junior.
Ah Nian followed Ling Xi and bowed as well.
Hong Jiang looked at Ling Xi and nodded with satisfaction: "You are a polite girl."
Ling Xi smiled lightly: "The general is an admirable senior, worthy of the younger generation's salute."
