Chung Lingshuang also said," That's right. Since we are already here, we should at least go to my brother's residence and have a seat. Wouldn't it be very shameful for you to just leave? "
Facing such a powerful reason, Lee Yang actually couldn't find any words to refute. After thinking about it, if he really left just like that, it really wouldn't be appropriate, so he nodded and agreed.
Murong Wei clapped his hands and a few soldiers came over with horses.
It took almost an hour and a half to arrive at Black Wolf Fortress on horseback.
As the most important stronghold on the northwest border of the Eastern Emperor Country, the Black Wolf Fortress was built in an incomparably grand and magnificent manner. This stronghold had once been snatched away by the people of West Yuan Country. The people of Eastern Emperor Country could only retreat to Longevity Sun City. However, they were still ravaged. Later, they became the master of the Black Wolf Fortress. It was Chung Lingshuang's elder brother, Chung Qingfeng, who was ordered to come here. Not only did he drive away the people from West Garden who were entrenched outside of Shouyang City, but he also chased them away. He had even subdued the Black Wolf Fortress in one go.
In order to honor his meritorious service, the Imperial Court conferred him the title of Xiao Qi General. The entire Northwest Army was under his jurisdiction, and he held great authority. However, because of the sudden coup in the palace, in order to clarify the relationship between Chung Qingfeng and the Imperial Court, he took the initiative to give up his power and wholeheartedly guarded the Black Wolf Fortress. Because his position was too special, the Imperial Court temporarily could not find someone to replace him in Black Wolf Fortress. They agreed to Chung Qingfeng's request and firmly restricted him to the Black Wolf Fortress.
However, the relationship between Chung Qingfeng and Chung Lingshuang couldn't be completely cut off. The relationship between Chung Qingfeng and Chung Lingshuang was always a thorn in the heart of some people in the Imperial Court. Hence, along the way, they arranged all kinds of hidden sentries and traps, letting Chung Lingshuang come and find his brother. If not for Lee Yang's help along the way, Chung Lingshuang would not have been able to reach this place.
When he arrived at Black Wolf Fortress, Lee Yang was stunned by the scene in front of him. In the past, he had always thought that the various strongholds described in the Twin Dragon Spread of the Great Tang were all nonsense. How could there be such a high wall? But now... The description of the Great Tang's Twin Dragons had turned into reality. The walls here were indeed several dozen times tall. A person standing at the bottom of a wall was as tiny as a speck of dust. And the soldiers at the city gates were actually massive black bears over four meters tall. However, from their words and actions, it seemed like they were no different from humans.
F * ck you, what's going on?
Chung Lingshuang turned her head to look at Lee Yang and said disdainfully, "Don't be so ignorant, okay? Using Devil Beast to defend the city was a very normal thing. These Devil Beasts had been trained for a long time. They are almost no different from us. Moreover, they had great strength. The heavy city gate only needed two Devil Beast to be easily pushed open. If it was human strength, it would probably require dozens of people. Furthermore, the most brutal combat strength of the West Yuan Country is their Devil Beast Battle Team. Therefore, we must come up with a corresponding policy. Otherwise, wouldn't it be just mermaids' flesh?"
"I just thought of a movie." Lee Yang came back to his senses and said, "I wonder if the things in the movie will become real."
"Movie? What is it?" Even though Murong Wei's intelligence was outstanding and he claimed to be the best in the entire Eastern Emperor Country, he had never heard of movies.
"It's an art that uses special means to record certain scenes and then release them on the screen." Lee Yang said.
Murong Wei still did not understand.
"Young hero Ximen is indeed experienced and knowledgeable. I admit defeat." Murong Wei cupped his hands and said.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Chung Lingshuang said with disdain, "He is..."
She did not know why, but when she wanted to say that Lee Yang was from Earth, Chung Lingshuang suddenly shut her mouth.
Although Murong Wei really wanted to know, if Chung Lingshuang did not say it, he could not force her.
Black Wolf Fortress was no different from other towns. The only difference was that there were many patrolling soldiers in the city. They could be seen after walking a few steps. Apart from the human soldiers, there was also the Devil Beast. Furthermore, the city was also filled with mixed people. After walking for a short distance, he could already see a few conflicts. The people's disputes here were also much fiercer than those on Earth. There were almost no verbal attacks. If they did not like each other, they would immediately start fighting. Furthermore, it was a deadlock. They were the type that wanted to kill each other.
Lee Yang had been completely conquered by the intrepid customs of the people here.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they arrived at the Manor of the Xiao Qi General.
The master of Black Wolf Fortress, Chung Lingshuang's brother, Chung Qingfeng, was wearing a suit of armor and standing at the door as if he had won the battle. When he saw his sister, he strode over in large strides, stretched his back, and picked her up.
"Shuang-er, you are finally here." Chung Qingfeng said with a heartache, "You have lost weight, and it has also turned dark."
"Wow!" Seeing her brother being so gentle to her, the grievance in Chung Lingshuang's heart instantly burst out, and she started to cry.
"Brother, grandpa is dead." Chung Lingshuang said.
Chung Qingfeng put his sister down and said coldly, "I know. I also know who killed grandpa. However, these few days, the barbarian seemed to be restless. That's why I sent Murong Wei to pick you up. Otherwise, I would have gone there myself."
Chung Lingshuang said, "Brother, don't you hate me anymore?"
Chung Qingfeng said, "I hate you. Why should I hate you? Sister, you still can't see through it. I have a large army in my hands, and you are my father's most beloved princess. If we were too close, some things would have happened earlier. And I can only pretend to have a conflict with you, and even come here... Only then can I retain a little bit of my strength. But those people are very wary of us, so even if I am very worried about you, I can't come out to look for you, otherwise, I'll make things difficult for you. I originally thought that grandpa would personally send you over, but who would have thought... Sigh."
Chung Lingshuang's tears fell again. The two siblings just stood at the door like this and began to reminisce and kill.
Lee Yang felt that he was really redundant. He nudged Murong Wei's arm and said, "It seems that I am fine here. Can you find a place for me to rest first? Will you meet your master later? Look at the siblings. They must have a lot to say. I won't be able to find the time to do so in a short period of time."
Murong Wei had deep trust in Chung Qingfeng. There were many things that he didn't need to consult to make the decision. He had the same thought as Lee Yang, let alone Lee Yang. Even his current position seemed extra, so he nodded in agreement.
Bringing Lee Yang to the guest room, Murong Wei said, "Young hero Ximen, you should rest here for a while. If the Lord wants to see you, I will send someone to inform you."
"Don't call me young hero Ximen. It sounds awkward. Besides, my name isn't Ximen. My original name is Lee Yang. Just call me by my name." Lee Yang said in a carefree manner.
"Alright, I'll take my leave now. Have a good rest." Murong Wei didn't hesitate. He cupped his fists and left.
Lee Yang took a look at the house. For the past two months, he had almost never slept on the bed. When he saw the familiar bed, he almost cried.
He threw himself on the bed, hugged the blanket, and rolled on it. He said contentedly, "What else does life need? It is so satisfying that it cannot be any more."
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, Chung Qingfeng and his sister had also arrived at the study. Murong Wei stood respectfully beside them.
"Wei, what do you think of that person's strength?" Chung Qingfeng asked.
"He should have reached the Heart Throb Phase." Murong Wei said.
"Oh, it seems like he has some ability. Little sister, where did you find such a person?" Chung Qingfeng asked curiously.
Chung Lingshuang thought to herself, Lee Yang is more than just capable. He is simply a freak. This fellow's advancement had made her tongue-tied, alright? In just two short months, he had cultivated from the Foundation Establishment realm to the Heart Throb Phase. This speed was terrifying to the extreme. In the entire Eastern Emperor Country and even the Xuanzhou, no one had such a cultivation base. If he was given some more time, he wouldn't know how powerful this guy would be.
"It was grandfather who found me." Chung Lingshuang lied again.
"Grandfather is still so powerful. He has never been wrong when he looks at people. Unfortunately, this person cannot be used by me." Chung Qingfeng said with emotion.
Chung Lingshuang said in surprise, "Brother, why do you say that?"
Chung Qingfeng said, "Do you really think you and him were safe and sound along the way? It's not like that. The people of the Imperial Court have already set their eyes on you. The reason why they didn't kill you was to wait for you to come and find me. Look at my attitude. I naturally can't kill you, so I can only blame that person. If I kill him, I can at least deal with him for a period of time."
Chung Lingshuang said," Brother, he saved my life, and... you can't kill him. "
"What?" Chung Qingfeng asked.
"He is my... husband." Chung Lingshuang said softly, "It was grandpa who made the decision."
Chung Qingfeng was somewhat annoyed and softly said, "Why did the old man do this? You actually married such a person. But even if he is your husband, I still have to kill him. "
" Big brother... " Chung Lingshuang begged him, "Can you not kill him? There are still other ways."
"Sister, it is too late. If I do not take out something, the people of the Imperial Court will definitely come to Black Wolf Fortress to ask me for someone. Do you think I will rebel, or will I hand you over? We have yet to develop our wings, so we can't fall out with them for the time being." Chung Qingfeng gritted his teeth and said," Sacrificing him alone is nothing. Those who achieve great things do not care about minor details. "
Chung Lingshuang still wanted to say something, but Chung Qingfeng waved his hand and said to Murong Wei, "Wei, this matter will be left to you to handle. It is best to remain calm."
"Subordinate understands." Murong Wei nodded.
Chung Lingshuang knew that there was no way to change her brother's mind. She could only ask for the second best. "Brother, can you let me see him?"
