Chapter 92: Black Armored Cavalry
"This should be Nanshan Town." Lin Chen looked at a town not far away with people coming and going.
Ying Lu pondered for a moment and replied: "Yes, Nanshan Town has arrived."
"What are you going to do in Nanshan Town?" Lin Chen asked.
After a brief silence, Ying Lu said: "You have already escorted me to Nanshan Town. It would not be considered a faux pas if you take me away now. There is no point in what I want to do..."
"I won't arrest you." Lin Chen said.
Before he finished speaking, the Sky Shadow Emperor slowly landed at the entrance of Nanshan Town.
Lin Chen turned over and got off the Sky Shadow Emperor, looking at the bustling town, he suddenly felt a little strange.
I have never seen so many people in Secret News.
Lin Chen waved his hand, took back the Sky Shadow Emperor, and blended into the crowd.
Ying Lu also followed.
"But that is an order from your sect, and we are not familiar with each other. How could you deviate from the orthodoxy for an unfamiliar person?" Ying Lu followed Lin Chen and said.
At this time, Lin Chen and the two had already entered the town.
You can enter and exit the town freely, and there are no guards holding the entrance.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm not a disciple of Tianlan Sword Sect?" Lin Chen looked around casually.
There are teahouses, wine shops, and various vendors walking around the streets to buy some weird stuff.
There is also a Taoist priest over there.
The level of civilization in this world is too similar to the ancient times in Lin Chen's previous life.
Suddenly Lin Chen's eyes lit up and he walked up to a vendor.
"This young hero, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick? How many skewers do you want?" the vendor asked politely.
"How much does it cost?"
"Back to you young man, I'll give you five cents for a small business," the hawker replied.
Lin Chen frowned. He didn't know how to convert the currency units here. He looked back and called out to Ying Lu.
"You haven't given me my ten taels of silver yet."
Ying Lu glanced at Lin Chen, turned over her package, took out a handful of broken silver and handed it to Lin Chen.
"I only have so much broken silver in total. I'll give you the rest after I exchange it at the pawn shop."
Lin Chen weighed the pieces of silver in his hand, picked the smallest piece and handed it to the vendor.
"How many strings can this have?"
The hawker quickly replied: "This is about one penny, which can buy at least twenty strings. How many strings do you want? I'll weigh them and find them for you."
Lin Chen thought about it briefly and gained some understanding of the monetary units in this world.
"Let's have two skewers."
Lin Chen took the candied haws from the vendor and collected the coins.
It's not like we don't accept change. Having change will make it easier for Lin Chen to spend it later.
"Here, here you go." Lin Chen turned around and handed Ying Lu a bunch of candied haws.
At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly felt the regular vibrations of the earth, and heard the sound of horse hooves from far to near.
Ying Lu took the candied haws, and following Lin Chen's gaze, a group of soldiers and horses surged into the town entrance.
There are twelve people in total, with black armor and long halberds, tall horses, and a strong sense of oppression.
People on the road hurriedly ran to both sides of the road when they heard the sound. Ying Lu's expression changed and she hurriedly pulled Lin Chen to hide by the roadside.
The rumble of horse hooves gradually faded away.
Lin Chen looked at Ying Lu in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
Ying Lu looked nervous: "These are the black armored cavalry of the imperial dynasty. They usually only guard the imperial city. They are all masters, and their strength in forming a military formation is extraordinary."
Lin Chen frowned and looked at the cavalry going away.
The black armor cavalry marched through the town, regardless of the pedestrians on the road, knocking over many people along the way.
"Come on, let's leave the town first. Since you said this is an army affiliated with the Imperial City, it might not be that simple for them to come here..." Lin took Ying Lu's hand and walked out of the town.
Since he can get information that Princess Pingchuan will come to Nanshan Town, there is no reason why other forces in the Imperial City don't know about it.
Maybe they were here to catch Ying Lu.
Ying Lu retracted her hand slightly, her face turned a little rosy, and she turned her head and looked away: "That doesn't have much to do with you, right?"
Lin Chen looked back at Ying Lu and was stunned for two seconds.
Yes, what does it have to do with him?
No! Since Ying Lu is mentioned in the letter, it must be related, but I don’t know now.
Otherwise, how could the starting point of the secret be meeting her?
"Don't talk nonsense. I already told you that I'm not here to arrest you. Why are you trying to be awkward?" Lin Chen grabbed Ying Lu's hand and ran out of the town.
Ying Lu did not resist and followed Lin Chen to leave Nanshan Town.
So what are you doing in Nanshan Town?
Coming all the way just to buy a bunch of candied haws?
However, when Lin Chen walked out of Nanshan Town, he discovered.
A group of soldiers and horses had stopped outside Nanshan Town with an imposing manner.
Lin Chen pulled Ying Lu and met them directly, and the two sides froze.
The road out of town is blocked...
Lin Chen slowly pulled Ying Lu back slowly, trying not to cause a conflict if possible.
"General, this is Princess Pingchuan, she is consistent with the portrait."
"Take it!"
A voice came from the army, and as soon as he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded instantly, and they rushed towards Lin Chen.
The deadlock was broken, they were indeed here to hunt down Princess Pingchuan!
Lin Chen pulled Ying Lu back quickly and waved his hand to summon the Sky Shadow Emperor.
He grabbed hold of one of the Sky Shadow Emperor's feet, and then pulled Ying Lu up.
"Boss Shadow, take off!"
The Sky Shadow King quickly flapped his wings and climbed into the sky, avoiding the oncoming cavalry.
"Fire the arrow!" The leading general, wearing golden armor and his eyes hidden in the golden helmet, ordered calmly.
Lin Chen was immediately shocked.
The situation was urgent just now, and he only had time to summon the bonded spirit and quickly avoid the attack of the cavalry.
But now that the Sky Shadow Emperor is on top and not in front of him, his weak body is likely to be attacked.
Now in the air, how is it different from a living target?
"Boss Shadow, [Gui Ming]!"
The [Return to Ming] skill allows the Sky Shadow King to hide in a different space when activated, but it will continue to consume spiritual energy.
You can also bring other things into the space,
But if you bring in a living creature, you will be threatened by suffocation in the [Guiming] space!
In other words, Lin Chen and Ying Lu cannot stay in the [Guiming] space for a long time.
The Sky Shadow Emperor cleverly used [Return to the Ming] to avoid a wave of arrows and returned quickly, but just as Lin Chen took a breath, the Sky Shadow Emperor performed another [Return to the Ming].
The frequent attacks almost made it difficult for the Sky Shadow King to move forward, and he was unable to take any action to counterattack.
If anything goes wrong, Lin Chen will be shot into pieces.
"Let me go. Their target is me. You should take advantage of the opportunity and run away. I still owe you a few taels of silver. I'll give it to you next time." Ying Lu gasped.
"It's only been a few waves of arrows, can they shoot for a whole day? Hold on...hiss." Before Lin Chen finished speaking, [Gui Ming] failed to follow up, and an arrow instantly grazed Lin Chen's shoulder.
Make a wound.
Blood flowed down his arm and into the hand holding Ying Lu.
Ying Lu could feel the wetness in her palms, and her eyes were slightly sparkling.
She let go of her hand and pulled it back suddenly.
Instantly fell from the sky.
"You should leave quickly. In fact, this result is much better than if you take me away."
"You bastard, are you still angry at this time?" In order to reach Ying Lu's hand, Lin Chen subconsciously loosened his grip on the Sky Shadow Emperor's hand.
A rain of arrows struck in an instant, and [Gui Ming] failed.
Chapter completed!
