Chapter 197: Silent Love

On August 23, 1454, the day seemed to be without any special place. The south was still hot. The businessmen who traveled between the north and the south all year round seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of day. Let the hot sun shine on their faces, and they leaned against the tortoise shell beast's car with their eyes squinted and leaned on the car of the tortoise shell beast, looking a little enjoying the sun. The car was pulling huge insulated boxes, filled with all kinds of seafood.

These vendors are running around all day long, and although they are tired, the profits they earn are very considerable. For example, the price of crabs produced in the southern seas can be several times higher when transported to the imperial capital! For them, the aristocrats' life that can be rewarded without paying is something they dare not dream of.

"Uncle Wang, aren't you tired when you are idle every day and are on the road all year round?"

"Haha, why aren't you tired?" Boss Wang, who is nearly 60 years old, has long turned white, and has kind-eyed eyes and said gently: "But it's still a business. Look at the caravan, more than 100 people, are pointing at this place to eat! I dare not stop!"

Dressed in a farm girl, Feng Chime changed her beautiful hair into two rustic braids, and she also wore a veil on her head, looking like a village girl.

This outfit was suggested by Wang Bo, the owner of the caravan. In Boss Wang's opinion, this beautiful little girl was born from a wealthy family at first glance, and she was dressed in a colorful manner. She was simply afraid that there would be no trouble to come to her house.

Boss Wang is kind in his heart and does not take the words of Fengling: I join your caravan and protect you. In his opinion, this is just a little girl who ran away from home. When I have enough fun, I will go home.

But the original dress was definitely not good, let alone others, even the young men in their caravan drooled. The most powerful guard in this caravan is just a first-level swordsman, which is the highest price that Boss Wang can afford! If anyone sees such an excellent girl, Boss Wang will pay for it, Boss Wang will not protect her.

Feng Ling was quite reluctant at first, thinking to herself that I now have the strength of a second-level magic swordsman! Although I am not as strong as those perverted guys in the Viscount Mansion, who can be my opponent in this place?

But later I found out that this outfit was quite fun! When I put on ordinary clothes of village girls, the young men's eyes became brighter!

The wind chime before dressing up had a high and undesecrated temperament. After dressing up, her identity suddenly changed from the original noble princess to the current pretty village girl. Therefore, the young men in the caravan all followed the wind chime intentionally or unintentionally and almost.

Fengling is too lazy to pay attention to them. Before he knew it, there will always be a vague shadow in his heart. When the shadow is clear, Fengling will desperately deny himself.

"Impossible! How could I fall in love with him?"

On the official road, there are many tortoise shell beast transport teams coming and going like this, and they are all long-lasting. The reason for this is to take care of each other. They are all businessmen who run back and forth all year round, and everyone is familiar with it. Doing this can concentrate your strength. If you really encounter bandits and robbers, it will be easier to deal with it.

After Fengling left Pengzes City, this girl who had never really entered the secular world was embarrassed to find that she had no money on her! In fact, when she left, Ye Zi prepared it for her, and Fengling had forgotten it carelessly. Now she wanted her to go back and get it, which would never be too shameful.

Besides, she just killed three demon swordsmen. God knows if the other party still has accomplices waiting for her in the city? Thanks to Feng Ling not going back, otherwise if she met Yu Guang, she would definitely not let her go.

Fengling, who felt that his martial arts were very powerful, suddenly remembered the adventure stories he had seen. Unfortunately, she did not encounter a real adventure group and coveted her beauty. Those who wanted to take advantage of her met several groups. She was beaten to tears and called her mother and fled in a panic. In the end, Fengling found Boss Wang, the caravan, and said frankly that she wanted to protect the caravan, but what needs to be protected in this caravan? Fengling still remembered the strange look of the great swordsman bodyguard in the caravan.

Fortunately, Boss Wang took her in, otherwise the Wind Chime Hero, who is a second-level magic swordsman, would probably have fallen to the tragic level of cutting paths.

A large amount of smoke and dust suddenly appeared on the official road ahead. This pavement of bluestone would not have caused much dust if it was not moved at high speed. Therefore, experienced people know that this should be a fast horse!

There are usually only two types of people who dare to rush on the official road: one is the children of officials and nobles, who are dressed in a furious manner, and pretend to be carefree. The other is the messengers of official missions, like these caravans, who also walk on this road all year round. The decrees issued by many countries are transmitted to various places through them.

Seeing that the tortoise beast cart in front had stopped, Boss Wang frowned slightly and said, "It seems that this is the imperial capital issued another decree. It is such a large team! Hey, maybe, it is a Viscount Ling Xiao! In my opinion, Lord Ling Xiao is the title of Viscount, which is a bit too low, and it is not an exaggeration to give it to an earl!"

This is the first time Feng Ling heard about Ling Xiao from others, and couldn't help asking: "Lord Ling Xiao... is there any difference between those nobles?"

“What…different?”

Boss Wang raised his voice, looked at Feng Ling and shook his head slightly, and sighed: "At first glance, you are the kind of child of a noble family who doesn't care about people's livelihood. It's not just different. Lord Ling Xiao is simply the best noble lord since the founding of the empire!"

"Uncle Wang, I don't like to listen to you. No matter how good he is, he can't be considered the best, right? You are too exaggerating!" Feng Ling said without hesitation, rolling his eyes.

"Hey, don't believe it! Girl, I tell you that Pengzes City is very different from a year ago!" Uncle Wang watched the gorgeously dressed messengers galloping past on a good fast horse, and slapped his mouth with his hands. The dust gradually became smaller. Then he continued: "Just say we are the caravan. In the past, we had to pay for entering and leaving Pengzes City! Moreover, each cart of the tortoise beast has to charge ten silver coins for taxes! Go in and collect... and collect it too! A car,

Twenty silver coins are there to go in and out! You can’t go in, otherwise our goods will not be sent away! Like our caravan in the past, only five cars were in each time, why? Because the former lord and city lord were too dark! So they all loaded as much goods as possible. Alas, every time they would suffocate a lot of seafood. It’s different now. Lord Ling Xiao doesn’t charge any fees at all! Even if you enter a hundred cars, people won’t ask! Just from this point, girl, have you seen..."

Boss Wang pointed his hand at the caravans in front and behind: "If you don't say it, you are grateful to the Lord in your heart!"

When Feng Ling heard this, he suddenly felt happy in his heart, but he thought: Bah! That little thief imprisoned me for more than half a year and forced me to take poison and was completely useless. I don’t want to be happy for him!

At this time, the convoy of the tortoise beast continued to move forward. Boss Wang talked about it and continued: "Besides, Lord Lord dealt with the nobles of Pengzes City. His methods were so resolute that we all admired them so much! Everyone was also very happy that those great nobles were finally taken away!"

"Why are you happy that someone has been cleaned up? Are you gloating?" Fengling said deliberately teasing the old man.

Boss Wang said hurriedly: "What a gloating thing? Those great nobles smuggled all kinds of goods, sold slaves, and did all kinds of bad things over the years. In the past, the seafood business was held in their hands. When we purchased goods, we had to take them from them. The price was half higher than now! You said, they were cleaned up, do we have any reason to be happy?"

Fengling chuckled: "It looks like he is a good person."

"What does it mean to be like, you girl?" Boss Wang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "And there are civilians in the entire Pengzes City. Whoever talks about the new Lord, don't you praise him? I have seen Lord Lord from afar. Once, I am a young and handsome guy! Girl, if you see him, please be moved!"

Fengling felt dizzy on his cheeks and spat, "I'm not moved!"

At this time, a complaining voice suddenly came from the front. Boss Wang raised his head, sighed lightly, and said, "I have arrived at the territory of the Southern King. Oh, a royal lord has left, and another Southern King has come. In the past, the Southern King would not have been like this. Why do you now seem to have changed? If this continues, it seems that you will have a detour in the future."

Feng Ling knew the grudge between Ling Xiao and the King of Southern. He knew that the King of Southern has been against Ling Xiao very frequently recently, so he asked, "Uncle Wang, what's wrong?"

"Oh..." Boss Wang sighed: "A while ago, I don't know what the King of Southern was thinking, but suddenly set up a checkpoint here to intercept the caravan. Every car passing by his territory had to pay ten silver coins tolls, which made everyone complain. After all, Pengzes City stopped collecting it, and he started collecting it again..."

"Why did he do this to drive you to Cameron Town?" Fengling said to himself: "Cameron is not his territory, does it also have a port?"

"Oh, if you don't say it, I really didn't remember it!" Boss Wang slapped his forehead. But, if you can go back to the imperial capital from Cameron, you can take another road without passing through the territory of the King of Southern! The distance from Cameron Town to Penzes is not far, it is one of the only way to enter Penzes. The prosperity there is only better than that of Penzes City!

However, after Ling Xiao took office, various new policies were implemented, the economic level of Pengzes City suddenly surpassed that of Cameron Town. Even many caravans that were fixed in Cameron Town came to Pengzes City.

This is something that the King of Southern cannot accept!

Boss Wang sighed and said, "It seems that I will really go to Cameron Town next time! But the seafood there is not as good as that of Penzes City. Alas, it is hard to choose!"

At this time, tax collectors came to their big cart, and the entire caravan was paid by Boss Wang alone.

The person who collected taxes was a soldier of 27 or 28 years old, with a greasy head and a pink face, and a gorgeous dress. Feng Ling thought a little maliciously, wasn't this person afraid of being covered up? He was wearing so much? He was such a sexy bag!

"You have thirteen big cars in total. Let's get one hundred and fifty silver coins. Well, one gold coin, fifty silver coins!" The young man glanced over the wind chime, and suddenly showed a stunning expression on his face. He probably didn't expect that there would be such a delicate beauty in this caravan full of vulgar men! Although he was wearing the clothes of a village girl, who was this young man? He had been a veteran of the flower cluster. He could see at a glance that the girl's skin was as delicate as water! Not to mention touching, even looking at it made him feel excited.

"June, it's not easy for us businessmen. Thirteen cars aren't there one hundred and thirty silver coins?"

Boss Wang is not feeling sorry for money, but is really angry. The King of Southern has always had a reputation here over the years, so why did he make money so much this year?

The young man was worried that he could not find an excuse to make things difficult for Boss Wang. When he heard this, he was immediately happy and scolded, "Oh? I said you are suffering, and you are so upset? I said that it is as much as you say, why... you dare not give it?"

Fengling was so uncomfortable that the young man was looking at the greedy and desire. He immediately said angrily: "If you don't give it to me... do you dare to rob it?"

"Haha? Girl, you really don't know how powerful the uncle is!" The young man smiled grimly at the corner of his mouth and shouted: "Come on! There are people who are disobedient here! Come and take them down!"

Boss Wang was anxious and said, "I'll hand it over, can't I give it back?" As he said, he took out two gold coins from his pocket and stuffed them to the young man and said, "I'll give you two gold coins. You have a lot of them, let us go!"

The young man weighed the two gold coins in his hand, and the caravans around him were all looking here nervously. Boss Wang's first-level swordsman's caravan also had a sad face. The people of the King of Southern lent him a few courages, and he would not dare to attack others!

The young man with oily head and pink face sneered: "The price has increased, ten gold coins, hand over ten gold coins, you can leave!"

"You..." Boss Wang almost fainted, and the scorching sun in the sky seemed to have become more poisonous. Boss Wang gasped: "Even the prince, you can't bully people like this, right?"

At this time, Fengling's eyebrows stood up. The matter started because of her. How could she let Boss Wang be implicated? She looked at the man coldly and said, "Your dog eyes are blind. Your prince dare not be so arrogant when he sees me!" As he said that, a momentum emanated from his body.

The guy with greasy head and pink face suddenly took several steps back in horror, feeling that the pretty village girl suddenly turned into a tigress, with frost on her face and staring at him coldly.

"You, you're talking nonsense! The prince won't know you!"

Fengling's face was like the cold ice in the north, and he said coldly: "If you don't get out of here, I will kill you with one sword!"

The young man felt a powerful murderous aura from Fengling and knew that this woman was not just talking. Just look at her eyes. The young man had seen such eyes on those warriors who had killed people before.

"Okay, very good, how dare you threaten me, don't consider your caravan, Humph, you are waiting for the revenge of the King of Southern!" The young man muttered, turning around and leaving.

"Wait." Fengling called him coldly: "What did you say just now? Do you dare to repeat it again?"

"Girl, forget it." Boss Wang sighed. It seemed that his caravan would really not be able to come here in the future. It was a dream to offend the King of Southern and still want to do business in the south. But I didn't realize that this girl actually looked like a high-level warrior. Alas, it's okay, anyway, she is so old, and it's good to go home to enjoy a few days of happiness! Boss Wang thought to himself and called Fengling.

Fengling's momentum was restrained, she glared at the young man fiercely, and said with a crisp voice: "Don't you get out of here!"

At this time, a group of officers and soldiers who had just heard the young man shouting surrounded him, holding powerful crossbows and aimed at everyone in the caravan here!

The great sword master complained loudly: "Why should a woman of unknown origin involve us in a whole caravan!"

"That's it! Who knows who she is? I said Jun Ye, you have taken this crossbow, don't shake your hands. We have nothing to do with that woman!"

Boss Wang's caravan all agreed, including those who had just been chatting with Fengling...the young men.

Fengling's face was a little pale, and his heart seemed to be stabbed by a sharp needle. Suddenly he felt a sour feeling. This is the so-called friendship? Those people just kept saying something about the caravan that was a family, and they could say such ruthless and unrighteous words in a blink of an eye.

Boss Wang glared at those people fiercely. Except for the great sword master, everyone else lowered their heads with shame. However, facing the powerful crossbows and scarily sharp arrows in the hands of those soldiers, how many people can be as calm as before?

The young man sneered at Fengling and said, "So you are not from this caravan. I now suspect that you are a fugitive, are you going with us yourself, or are we... arresting all your accomplices?"

"June, everyone said that this woman has nothing to do with us. If you want to catch her, just catch her alone!" the first-level great sword master said with courage.

"Shut up!"

The young man with greasy head and pink face shouted angrily, and he felt a little bit of aura. He said in his heart that if you don’t threaten her with you idiots, how could she surrender! Unfortunately, this girl is dedicated to helping you, but you are so ungrateful!

Fengling slowly untied the sword from his body. The young man looked at Fengling nervously. Seeing her slowly pulling out the sword, he shouted angrily: "You dare to resist! I will kill them all!" He said again: "If you go back with me obediently, hehe, the young master promises that you will not lose a single hair!" He said in his heart: What else will you have!

The wind chime suddenly laughed, like a snow lotus on an iceberg. The extremely pure smile made the young man stunned. Then, he heard a beautiful wind chime, ding dong dong, sounds like knocking on his heart, and the interesting scenes of childhood suddenly appeared in front of him.

The soldiers holding powerful crossbows seemed to be trapped in some strange illusion, one by one, and their eyes were dull!

The other caravans who were not affected were all stunned and looked at the girl standing there dancing with horror. Although she was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, at this moment, if Feng Ling was just a fairy, no one would doubt it!

At this time, a roar suddenly came from a distance, and the sound rushed to the sky!

The soldiers and the young man were immediately awakened. Feng Ling's face changed drastically. Suddenly the sword momentum changed, and dozens of swords were stabbed out instantly, stabbing all the young man, including those soldiers to death!

He turned around and looked at Boss Wang deeply, pointed his toes and flew away!

In the distance, a man in yellow robe was as anxious as a meteor lightning, chasing him towards the wind chime, and roaring while running: "Stinky woman, stop me!"

Fengling's body was light and agile, and instantly disappeared like a ray of smoke and dust. The middle-aged man in yellow robe disappeared along with him!

Boss Wang patted his face with a pale face. At this time, a large group of people came over. One of the men who looked like a high-ranking official suddenly saw the young man stabbed to death on the ground and immediately rushed up and burst into tears.

"Son! You died so miserably!" He raised his head, burst into tears, and shouted with red eyes: "Catch everyone!"

At this time, the man in yellow robe came back angrily. When the middle-aged man saw him, he immediately cried: "Master Yu Guang, have you killed that woman!"

Yu Guang's face was a little embarrassed. Because he was injured by Tiger and his injuries had not recovered, he did not catch up with the slippery girl. After this question, he blushed and said, "Don't worry, she can't escape!"
To be continued...
