Chapter 164: Southern King's Base
Chapter 164: The King of Southern
The edge of the Penzes swamp, one hundred and fifty miles away from the Penzes city, is the base of hundreds of thousands of troops of the Southern King.
Looking from a distance along the plain, the city wall made of huge rocks is more than fifty meters high! The towering city wall has a momentum that hits the face. The appearance of the huge rocks is polished very smooth. It is only a joke to climb up the city wall with bare hands. Ling Xiao glanced at Uncle Fu and Ye Weini beside him and sighed: "This is the real city wall! Our territory... must be like this too!"
"Most of the south is located on the plains, and the stone output is extremely low. When the Second Highness built this base, it seemed that the stone was pulled from a long distance, and it consumed countless manpower, material resources and financial resources to build this base!" Uncle Fu narrowed his eyes and looked at the imposing military base on the plains, which was imposing on the ground, and sighed softly: "The Second Highness has extraordinary talent. No matter what aspect, he is only stronger than the Prince's Highness. It is unknown who will take this country in the future."
Ye Weini looked at the big city with some envy and asked softly: "Uncle Fu, if we built the walls of Pengzes City like this, how much would it cost?"
Uncle Fu likes leaves very much. When he smiled, his wrinkles squeezed into a pile and said, "With our current financial resources, we can't build such a city in another ten years!"
"What?" Ye Weini was so shocked that she vomited her cute tongue, her neck retracted, and after a while, she said: "It seems that we need to work hard to make money, Ling Xiao! What do you think?"
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Weini smiled happily on her face, and women always had more longing for the future than men. Ye Zi was fantasizing about how happy it would be to follow Ling Xiao and start a business with him in the future!
The clown flew quickly across the sky, and Ling Xiao chuckled and said, "There is no change in the base. In fact, even if he wants to do anything, he doesn't need to make too much changes."
Uncle Fu said: "As long as the Sword Sect doesn't come out, huh, his military camp can't keep us!"
Ling Xiao said confidently: "Come out? If the Sword Sect is really his person, I can guarantee that it will take three months at the earliest to barely recover 80% of his strength! If... he is really the Second Prince's person, I don't mind, just send him a ride! Kill a Sword Sect, I believe... he will always feel a little accomplished, right?"
At this time, a tall city gate more than two meters thick outside the base was slowly opened, and the squeaking sound made was heard far away, obviously it had not been opened for a long time.
Far away, Li Tianluo, a handsome young man with a blonde hair, walked over quickly with a smile on his face, and came to the carriage of the three of them. He first nodded and greeted Uncle Fu in a modest and polite manner, and then laughed loudly: "Brother Ling came from afar, Tianluo was unable to greet him. I hope Brother Ling would not be accustomed to you!"
Ling Xiao came out of the carriage, stood in the carriage, looked at Li Tianluo from a high place, and a gentle smile appeared on his face: "Brother Li is so polite. We are friends who share the hardships. Besides, Brother Li's identity..."
Li Tianluo was slightly stunned. Ling Xiao was not so talkative in his impression. However, he immediately reacted, walked over with a smile, hugged Ling Xiao who jumped out of the carriage, and then said, "We brothers are in harmony, I am Luo Tian! An ordinary student of the Imperial Academy! As for the hellish royal identity... is that important?"
Ling Xiao also laughed and said, "Yes, it doesn't matter!"
Ye Weini also walked out of the carriage at this time, and Li Tianluo smiled gracefully at Ye Weini: "Hello, Ye Zi!"
Ye Weini smiled and returned the favor, asking, "Where is Karin? She isn't here?"
When Li Tianluo heard the name of Kailin, he showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "Kelly is at home. After a while, we will go back to Imperial College together. Haha, Brother Ling is lucky and you don't have to go to the college anymore and be bound."
"Brother Li is about to break through the first-level great sword master, right? Logically speaking, you can also apply for the graduation exam from Imperial College?" Ling Xiao remembered the school rules of Imperial College and said, "And Imperial College is not very restrictive. I think it's quite free!"
"Haha, that's because you came out, so I said that!" Li Tianluo guided enthusiastically and said, "Brother Ling! Speaking of which, your sister Ling Yuner has now entered the advanced class of the Imperial Academy! Fourth-level Great Sword Master... Brother Ling, you secretly told me, does your family have a big backer? Just like the Xie family leaning against Baihuamen, but Xie Xiaoyan is short-sighted! I thought that with a big backer, you could ignore everyone, but as a result... I believe she will regret not falling at this moment! Haha, just kidding, Brother Ling, don't mind, my father has been waiting inside!"
After Li Tianluo finished speaking, a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes. He had just been very interested in revealing a huge news to Ling Xiao. Even in the imperial capital, there were very few people who knew about this information. The news network was as powerful as the Southern King, but there were few families.
"Xie Xiaoyan...she?"
Ye Weini showed a hint of disdain on her face and sneered: "What is Baihuamen? Very famous?"
Seeing that Ling Xiao’s face was normal, Li Tianluo couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. His father repeatedly told Ling Xiao that he would do everything possible to better. Otherwise, why would Li Tianluo tell Ling Xiao such shocking news as soon as he met? When Ye Weini asked, Li Tianluo slapped his forehead and thought to himself that this misunderstanding was very big. How could Ling Xiao know about the hidden sect? Otherwise, he would be grateful to tell him the news!
Little did he know that Ling Xiao not only knew about Baihua Sect, but even killed the two outer hall masters with his own hands! Although he didn't know the status of Baihua Sect in a hidden family sect, since he could be divided into internal and external halls, and the outer hall masters had the strength of the Magic Swordsman or above, he must be much stronger than Fengling's sect! The reason why Ling Xiao was indifferent was that he had long thought that Xie Xiaoyan would definitely find a way to rely on Baihua Sect!
But...so what? The two have no relationship in the future! If they have family, can't she besides Xie Xiaoyan? Moreover, Ling Xiao has enough confidence in her methods. If Xie Xiaoyan doesn't untie the ban on meridians for a day, she will not tell the news that the two outer hall masters died in her hands!
I believe that the Baihua Sect will not doubt it. After all, the two Baihua Sect masters have the strength of a magic swordsman, and I... are just a great sword master. Although there are rumors in the south that Lord Pengzes Ling Xiao injured the Sword Sect, it is just a rumor after all. No one will believe that it is true, except... the person involved.
Li Tianluo patted his forehead with his hand, and then said with a smile: "Look at my brain, haha, Brother Ling must not know about Baihua Sect. However, Brother Ling must have heard of hidden families and sects, right?"
Ling Xiao nodded. If Li Tianluo had never heard of this, he would not believe it at all.
"Hidden aristocratic families and sects are divided into first, second, third and poor-ranking ones. Brother Ling should know that this Baihua Sect is a third-rate sect!" Li Tianluo said, chuckling: "If you don't know the people from the Hidden aristocratic sect, I'm afraid you'll laugh at it when you hear this, but I believe Brother Ling won't!"
Ling Xiao's face showed a look of surprise: "That Baihua Sect... is a third-rate sect?" In fact, Ling Xiao not only did not laugh at him, but his understanding of the strength of the hidden families and sects has increased a little more. It seems that those masters above the Sword Emperor who are almost never available should... be hidden there!
Li Tianluo nodded and sighed: "We are a secular person who has cultivated the Crazy Sword Master as much as the Crazy Sword Master. We have cultivated the High-level Demon Sword Master like General Ling and my father, and even one person has been created. With the strength of the Demon Sword Master like the Old Marshal, haha, our entire Blue Moon Empire may not exceed 500 people! But if we talk about those hidden families and sects, this number is more than ten times more! It can be seen that they are powerful. Speaking of which, Brother Ling must work harder! Don't be surpassed by the woman Xie Xiaoyan. She is ruined in the academy. If she says she doesn't want to take revenge, I'm afraid Brother Ling will not believe it himself, haha."
Ling Xiao smiled indifferently: "Thank you for your care, Brother Li."
Li Tianluo sighed softly: "At least, Brother Ling wants to establish his own power! Although this cannot help much, he will try his best to help Brother Ling in front of his father!"
Ling Xiao looked at Li Tianluo deeply, with a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart: Li Tianluo, Li Tianluo, do you know that not long ago, your father sent the Sword Sect to kill me!
Once you enter the city, you can immediately feel the difference from ordinary towns. The streets are neat, there are few people, the barracks are neat and single, and there is a solemn atmosphere over the city. Only places where a large number of soldiers live can this atmosphere be condensed!
Ling Xiao and others looked around, and Li Tianluo also introduced the functions of Ling Xiao as he walked. Ling Xiao nodded constantly. Li Wutong is really an excellent general and can build this place to this level. He thought to himself: No wonder the prince has always regarded you as a big trouble. Having such a brother is indeed not a good thing for the royal children!
Ling Xiao suddenly remembered his brother. If he could tell that Pengzes City was built in this way in the future, Ling Zhi... would only be proud of himself?
It’s so sad to be born in the royal family!
Ling Xiao thought to himself that as Li Tianluo entered the center of the base, the mansion of the Southern King Li Wutong was right in front of him!
A house that is no different from an ordinary barracks, with gray bricks and tiles and neat bluestone on the ground, although neat, gives people a feeling of depression.
There were two guards standing at the door. When they saw Li Tianluo, they looked straight. Li Tianluo smiled and said to Ling Xiao and the others, "My father's rules are relatively strict. Please wait, I'll go in and inform you first!"
Ye Weini looked around, and suddenly, a familiar figure flashed by around the corner.
