It doesn't matter what the lord is.

As soon as he returned to the room, Lid immediately became energetic from his drunken state, and asked Alayya to throw the gambling contract he had just received into the bottom of the suitcase and put it away, so as not to lose it. No matter what the outside world thinks, in Lid's eyes, this thing is a check that can be used in the future. If the four thousand war horses and twenty thousand gold coins can be obtained smoothly, the burden on Fang Shisan and He Yue's shoulders will be much lighter.

Benefits are based on what you can get. Although Lid was verbally ridiculed for this, he didn't take it to heart.

After the bet was signed, all the forces that had been targeting him openly or secretly also sank back to the surface. Reed comfortably held Alaiya and Shiloh and slept for three days. On the fourth day, Bai Ye took the initiative to visit Reed and told him that it was his and Linglan's turn to enter Lingwu, and he came to say goodbye to Reed.

"The Lingwu side is quite ruthless this year. I heard that two days ago, they caught two ANBU members who tried to sneak into Lingwu, and broke the legs of their master. The Lingwu lord never gives face to anyone, and this year he has become even tougher."

Bai Ye told Reed the news he knew.

Linglan added:

"After all, the iron wall in the north and the legendary decisive battle weapon have entered the final stages of construction. If we can completely stop the giants from moving south, the Lingwu Lord will have enough troops to deploy to the inner battlefield of Yongtian Kingdom in the future. She won't have to be polite to anyone anymore."

Bai Ye patted Lid's shoulder and said:

"Although I know there are no suspicious people around you, you should still be careful."

Linglan smiled, rubbed Lid's head with one hand and Alayya's head with the other, and said:

"The guy this year deserved it. I heard that last year there was an innocent guy who suddenly had a kind heart on the roadside and planned to take a woman who was said to be exiled from Lingwu back to reunite with her family. As a result, Lingwu found out that the woman was a member of another family's Anbu, and the guy who kindly helped also had his leg broken. Lingwu's punishment method is not just a simple fracture, it will also break the tendons and veins. If there is no special opportunity, the life will be ruined. You have to be careful, especially Alaiya, keep an eye on your young master and don't let him be deceived by women. The more beautiful women in this world, the more likely they are to deceive people."

Alayya nodded upon hearing this.

Reed also nodded and broke free from Lily of the Valley's clutches. Lily of the Valley herself was also dragged away by Bai Ye.

There seemed to be a lot of people trying to sneak into Lingwu every year, and those who hadn't gotten in yet were happy to talk about the news they knew in the Jubei Inn. So that night, Lid just drank in the corner of the lobby and heard all kinds of information for free.

Most of them are boring, but there is only one that is quite new and interesting.

It is said that there were two suspicious people from the south. Knowing that it was not easy to infiltrate Lingwu Territory, they bribed a small leader of Lingwu Hidden Guards and planned to infiltrate Lingwu Territory with his help. Unexpectedly, the small leader did a lot of similar things and aroused the suspicion of the Hidden Guards. This time, the two sides were caught on the spot in the middle of the transaction. The two suspicious people injured the high-level Hidden Guards who set up an ambush, but one of them was also seriously injured. Although he escaped by luck, he would not be able to run far for a while.

At present, Lingwu has dispatched a large number of troops and members of the Anbu to conduct a carpet search, and at the same time offered a high reward for these two guys. It is said that even if you just provide information, you can get a lot of rewards.

19. You can’t dig up the wall

Lid's attitude at the beginning was: Oh, there is such a thing? Awesome, damn Lingwu! He usually acts so awesome, but not only was he killed when he caught a single person, but he also let the other person run away. You see, this hidden guard is a loser!

Then it starts: Wait, something doesn’t seem right…

Aren't these Huang Yan and the youngest? ?

He still remembered that the youngest one said to him confidently at that time that since it was a huge organization, there must be loopholes in it. Reed thought that these two people had found some channel, and after all their efforts they just hooked up with a small leader. Now that the truth has been revealed, they are still being chased and hiding from people.

"But to be able to escape from Lingwu's ambush, those two are truly talented."

A half-drunk burly man in the hall slammed the table and said, and the people around him echoed:

"One thing to say, one thing to say, indeed."

"Seconded."

“That’s beyond doubt.”

The strong man shook his head and said:

"But no matter how high their realm and cultivation are, they will definitely have nowhere to escape this time. The person who can escape from the Lingwu Hidden Guard has not been born yet! Everyone in the world knows that the Hidden Guard has had the principle of killing all enemies since its establishment. Once you are on the list of the Lingwu Hidden Guard, you can basically wait for death."

There was another commotion around, some people praised the strong organizational ability of the Lingwu Anbu, while others sighed that these two extraordinary masters were about to fall. Only Lid finished his drink, carrying an empty bottle and slowly returned to the house, and by the way, he packed two or three signature dishes of the tavern to bring to Shiloh.

That night, Reed was awakened from his dream.

When he opened his eyes, he found that his limbs had been firmly held down by someone. In the darkness, someone was sitting astride him, holding his arms with his hands and pressing his legs under him. In the darkness, Reed couldn't see the man's face clearly, but his face was very close to Reed, and Reed could almost hear his breathing.

Reed also remembered this voice very clearly.

"woke up?"

This was the first sentence Huang Yan said.

"Is the previous promise still valid?"

This is the second sentence Huang Yan said.

He only said these two sentences. Lid noticed that his breathing was slightly disordered. When he was distracted, warm liquid dripped onto his face. If there hadn't been a pervert drooling on his bed in the middle of the night, it meant that Huang Yan must have been seriously injured.

Seeing that Lid didn't answer immediately, Huang Yan loosened his grip on his arm. Lid felt his body lighten. Huang Yan was ready to get up and leave. Lid grabbed his arm and said in a low voice:

"efficient."

Huang Yan's body trembled, and he turned around and looked at Lid steadily. His eyes flickered with a faint light in the dark night.

It is said that if two people look at each other for ten seconds, they will fall in love with each other. Li De felt that he and Huang Yan had been staring at each other for almost half a minute. If there was a background music, the classic song "Ah Zhen fell in love with Ah Qiang on a night with stars" would have sounded by now...

The night wind blew up the curtains in the room and also caused the hood on Huang Yan's head to sway slightly.

In the end, it was Lid who took the initiative to break the tense atmosphere, because he felt that if Huang Yan's injuries were not treated, something might happen. There were many beasts in the Lingwu Hidden Guards who were very sensitive to blood. The faint smell of blood on Huang Yan was nothing in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the Lingwu Hidden Guards, it was like a searchlight in the dark night, and they could feel it from hundreds of meters away.

"Let me help you take care of your wound first."

Reed pushed Huangyan down on the chair and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

Huangyan nodded, lifted his cloak, and stretched out his arms. There were several new wounds on them, which looked a bit shocking, but in fact, they were not broken. Lid took out the herbs prepared by Alaya from the suitcase. It was still the old Qingyun recipe that he learned in the capital. He sprinkled it on Huangyan's wounds, and Huangyan's whole body tensed up instantly. There was nothing he could do about it. Generally, herbs applied to the body would have a faint cool feeling, but Qingyun's recipe was like sprinkling mint on the wound, which was obviously too irritating.

But Huang Yan gritted his teeth and endured it, not crying out despite the excruciating pain.

This made Reed, who had spent the entire afternoon moaning in Alaiya's arms in the royal capital, feel very embarrassed again.

"The hidden guards won't catch up with us for the time being."

Huang Yan suddenly said something for no reason. Before Li De could ask, Huang Yan explained:

"I killed about 200 people, and took advantage of the fact that the Ten Kings of Hell were not all present to injure three of them. If I were them, my first priority would be to report the situation to the commander-in-chief of the Hidden Guards, and I would not act rashly during this period, so I am temporarily safe here. But the border of Lingwu has been blocked more tightly, and the top military officials have appeared nearby, so it is difficult for me to get in again. I can only try my luck with you."

Lid squatted down, helped him untie the cloth straps that bound him, rolled up his trouser legs, and applied the herbs to his bloodless legs. He felt a slight coolness when it touched his skin. In fact, Huang Yan's bleeding was not much, and he didn't know why.

Lid asked:

"Do you have to enter Lingwu?"

Huang Yan said softly:

"Yes. I must go through Lingwu and go further north."

When Lid was halfway through applying the medicine, Huang Yan suddenly stood up from the chair, took a step forward, slowly knelt in front of Lid, rested his forehead on the back of his hand, and fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Reed took a deep breath and stared at Huang Yan. Huang Yan's aura was very complicated now, like a wounded beast. He needed human help but could not fully trust humans. He took a step forward tremblingly, but all he thought about was what would happen after being rejected.

Finally, Lid sighed, stroked his chin and said:

"I did ask you at the beginning if you needed my help to bring you in. I did promise you that you could come to me if anything happened... but who knew you would make such a big fuss!! Now when we go in, we will definitely be strictly checked, and it will be difficult to bring you in."

Huang Yan bit his lip and remained silent.

Lid patted his shoulder and changed the subject:

"So, after taking such a big risk to save you, I can't just not give you any benefits at all."

Huang Yan raised his head and asked:

"What benefit do you want?"

Reed smiled harmlessly, showing his white teeth, and said:

"Aren't you good at fighting? I'll take you to Lingwu and help you solve the messy troubles you're going to face. How about you come to work in my Yuxi City in the future?"

The poaching tactic was a great success——

Under Reed's affectionate gaze, Huang Yan slowly shook his head.

At that moment, Reed seemed to see the olive branch he had thrown out being kicked back by someone.

“Why?!”

Lid complained. Huang Yan stared into his eyes and said seriously:

"Because if I go back to Yuxi City with you, everything will get chaotic, and the world's situation will develop in a direction that neither you nor I can control."

Huang Yan hesitated for a moment, and in front of Lid, he slowly took off his hood with both hands.

The long white hair finally got rid of the pressure of the hat, spread out instantly under the moonlight, and then fell on Huangyan's shoulders.

Her eyes, the same color as the stars, looked at Reed quietly, reflecting a cold light in the darkness.

While Lid was still in a daze and amazed at what he saw, Huang Yan had already returned to his original voice and said calmly:

"My name is Huang Yan, the leader of the southern uprising army, and I have personally buried tens of thousands of people... the son of Tianyan."

20. I treat you as a brother but you want to...

A hoe hit the concrete floor. This was Reed's biggest feeling right now.

Not only did he not find anything, but his hands were also hurting from the shock. The moment Huang Yan took off his hood, Lid was stunned. This guy was not a rough man at all. He looked like a porcelain doll, and his hair was almost pure white.

White hair, white skin, white eyebrows, and even the lips are a very light pink. Except for the pair of light blue eyes, Huang Yan is almost completely flawless white, making people worry that she will melt like snowflakes if touched. That kind of unique beauty is enough to shock people. After taking a look at it, it is probably difficult to forget it for the rest of your life.

That’s right, the one kneeling in front of Lid is the leader of the southern uprising army, the iron-blooded commander who is still marching forward under the siege of the entire Yongtian Kingdom, the number one on the rookie list handpicked by the white-robed prime minister Wumi, and the young genius who leads the force called "Venomous Snake" by Yunye - Huang Yan!

Who can dig this?

Li De couldn't help but think of the time when he opened the quilt with a righteous look on his face on the road, and invited her to sleep with him with a righteous look, and asked her the reason frantically when she couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. Now it seems that Huang Yan's temper should not be as bad as the rumors say, otherwise he might have nothing when he woke up in the morning.

Reed stared at Huang Yan's pure white face, looking left and right for a long time, and was almost about to touch it.

Huang Yan did not interrupt him. He knelt on the ground like a wooden stake, his eyes following Lid's face left and right.

After a long time, Lid asked:

"Why are you coming to Lingwu at this time instead of staying in the south to plan the annexation of South Vietnam and guide the disaster victims?"

There was no emotion in Huang Yan's words:

"I am the son of Tianyan. I was destined to be struck by lightning and die in eighteen years. My adoptive father used his own life to change my fate. Going north to Lingwu and the giants is my only way to survive. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to fight with the way of heaven... so I came here."

"Son of God's Disgust?"

This was not the first time Huang Yan mentioned this title, and Lid couldn't help but ask.

Huang Yan replied:

"That's what my godfather said. I'm not sure about the details."

Lid thought for a moment and woke the little slime up from his dream. The little slime was sleeping on the bedside table, blowing bubbles one by one. Suddenly, he was caught and woke up immediately. He screamed heartbreakingly:

“Help! Help! Someone is trying to assassinate me!!”

Just after shouting a few words, Lid squeezed it with both hands and flattened it. The little slime, which looked like a carrying pole, finally saw that it was Lid who caught it and not some assassin. It immediately breathed a sigh of relief and whispered:

"What? It turns out to be you, Biji. Don't scare me, Biji! I've been having nightmares these past few days, Biji!"

Its roar also directly woke up Alayya and Shiloh. The two looked at Huang Yan vigilantly, especially Alayya. She had just accepted the theory from Linglan that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. Now she was staring at her young master carefully, fearing that her young master would announce in public in the next second some explosive news like "It doesn't matter if we go north" or "I'm going to elope with this girl".

Lid first explained to Alayya and Shiloh that this person was Huang Yan who had traveled with them, although now they had to call her Huang Yan. Then Lid brought the little slime back to Huang Yan, sat cross-legged, and asked the little slime:

"What is the Son of Heaven's Disgust?"

The little slime yawned and said lazily:

"I'm hungry. I want to eat something..."

Lid's head popped up, and the little slime immediately explained clearly:

"Biji... As the name suggests, the Son of Heaven's Dislike is a child that the old gods don't like. In fact, it is a child that is not tolerated by the way of heaven. The old gods should have been the faith of mankind, right? People prayed to the gods, and the gods gave the world a little salvation. The various temples and priests in the world were established for this purpose. But the gods will not grant happiness to everyone, because happiness needs misfortune to set off. People with tragic life experiences or who have suffered injustice have resentment towards the gods. After these resentments accumulate over time, they turn into human forms and are born through the mother's body. They are the so-called Son of Heaven's Dislike."

The little slime jumped out of Lid's hand, jumped in front of Huang Yan, rubbed her legs, and continued:

"Biji, the Sons of Heaven's Disgust are born disorderly beings. They will not follow any rules and will bring great chaos to the human world. The old gods regard them as ominous beings, but after all, they are the result of a hundred years of human resentment. Even those guys have a bit of trouble dealing with them. Usually, they will prepare a special heavenly calamity, first smashing the body of the Son of Heaven's Disgust, destroying the soul of the Son of Heaven's Disgust, and finally purifying the resentment in it. The preparation process usually takes eighteen years. Biji~"

Huang Yan stared at the little slime and was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment.

The little slime was completely unaware. While rubbing Huang Yan's legs, he said to Lid:

"Hey, hey, I like this very much. Give it to me! Son of Heaven's Hate, that sounds so cool. When I fight the Old Gods in the future, this person will definitely become the most powerful fighter under my throne! I want this~~I want this~~Please, Biji~~"

So annoying! !

Lid grabbed the little slime expressionlessly and threw it away. The little slime slammed against the wall and slowly slid onto the bedside table. After rolling a few times, it opened its mouth and spit out bubbles. It was obvious that it had been forced to fall asleep again.

Lid turned to Huang Yan and asked:

"Where's the youngest? Do you want me to go in with you?"

Huang Yan replied:

"He's injured. Continuing to act with me will only harm him. Fortunately, the security of Guye Territory is much worse than Lingwu. We also have some people here. We arranged for the youngest to withdraw to the south in advance. He has a clean background and is not a member of the rebel army. As long as he is not with me, he will be safe."
