Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 16: A Thousand Miles Back in One Day
Suddenly, Feng Yan's attention was attracted by a mother and son who were slowly walking towards the city gate, especially the little boy who looked no more than ten years old and was holding the young mother's hand. Feng Yan subconsciously took a few more glances at the boy.
It was a really beautiful human child, wearing a moon-white Confucian robe, a pair of small boots of the same color, and a white jade belt around his waist. His face was like a jade crown, his lips were red, his teeth were white, his eyes were slender, with a faint glow, his eyeballs were as black as ink, his nose was tall and delicate, and his whole body exuded a sense of intelligence and agility.
If this child learns martial arts in the future, he will definitely be a great talent!
Don't blame Feng Yan for staring at the little boy like this. In fact, before he was appreciated by His Highness and joined the Dragon Wing Army, he had been an instructor at the Ruoye Tribe's "Military Academy" (equivalent to the Ruoye Tribe's military school) in the imperial city of Nanhai. Because he had an accurate eye for people and was very good at teaching students according to their aptitude, His Highness personally selected him and made an exception to promote him to become a member of His Highness's direct guards, and later promoted him all the way to deputy commander.
"Wait a moment, you two."
The child was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously clenched his mother's hand. A trace of fear flashed across his little face, and then he quickly threw himself into his mother's arms. The young mother's face was extremely calm at this time, as if nothing had happened. It was so calm that it was a little weird, which made Feng Yan confirm his speculation in his heart.
There is something wrong with this mother and son!
In fact, he felt something was wrong and stepped forward to stop them because of her eyes. Although her face looked very similar to that of the child, and she was indeed a beautiful woman with extraordinary looks, she did not have the spiritual aura of the child at all.
And although the two of them behaved like ordinary mother and son, the expression of the woman when she looked at the child made Feng Yan see the flaw. She was too calm, so calm that it seemed as if she had no emotions at all, as calm as a puppet, like a puppet without any thoughts.
The young general in black armor was originally checking the passers-by at the other end of the city gate. He also noticed the unusual movement here. He knew that Feng Yan was not a frivolous person. Since he took the initiative to step forward to stop the two men, there must be something that aroused Feng Yan's suspicion.
He calmly signaled to the soldiers beside him, and those subordinates immediately understood and surrounded the mother and son. He also walked quickly to Feng Yan's side with the trident in hand: "What's going on?"
"Nangong Lin, bring the picture of the wanted poster over here and take a closer look. Is this woman the one we are looking for?" Although Feng Yan had already noticed something strange about the other party, he was not absolutely sure . After all, there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in Ruoye City. If an innocent person was wrongly accused, it would not end well. To be on the safe side, he quickly called the black-armored young general named Nangong Lin to come forward to confirm clearly.
However, he had quietly taken out the silver snake whip he usually used from his waist with his own hands... He was afraid that as soon as Nangong Lin confirmed the other party's identity, he would immediately attack and defeat the enemy!
Nangong Lin hurriedly sent someone to tear down the portrait on the wanted poster from the notice board nearby. He took a look at it himself first, but could not make out anything special. Although there were five people wanted on the wanted poster, there was only a young couple in the portrait. The woman in front of him did not seem to be of the same age as the person in the painting, and their looks were very different. There was almost no similarity between them. And if he insisted that the child in front of him was the young man, it would probably make people laugh. He did not believe that someone could rejuvenate into this appearance overnight. As for whether it could be the other three mysterious people without portraits, he subconsciously rejected this absurd guess in his heart.
Because he heard that the one who hurt his father was one of the three mysterious men, he subconsciously identified them as three adult men. If it was the brat in front of him who did it, how would the father and son feel?
However, Nangong Lin looked at Feng Yan with doubt, as he looked solemn. Although he didn't know why the other party was so sure that there was something wrong with the mother and son in front of him, he still carefully handed the portrait to him again, wanting him to confirm it again.
Feng Yan took the portrait and glanced at it. He lowered his eyelids and said nothing, but he had no intention of letting the mother and son go. He believed in his always accurate sixth sense and his ability to judge people. When he caught a glimpse of the little boy with a terrified look on his face, even sobbing softly with tears in his eyes and burying his head in his mother's arms, he confirmed his guess in an instant!
That was not the look a child under ten years old should have. Although his appearance and behavior were no different from those of an ordinary child, his eyes were not childish at all. Instead, they were more like a crescent moon, quiet and restrained, making people feel vaguely unable to see through him.
Feng Yan's silver snake whip suddenly attacked, and the whip turned into a long snake and went straight for the little boy's throat, but was blocked by a trident that flew across the sky, accompanied by Nangong Lin's exclamation: "Feng Yan, you are crazy! He is just a child!"
"Get out of the way, I'm not crazy." Feng Yan's face was filled with murderous aura at this time. Seeing the little boy crying out of fear, he was even more angry. Pretending! I'll let you pretend! He gritted his teeth and spoke out the child's true identity word by word: "Nangong Lin, don't be fooled by this little bastard. If I'm not mistaken, he is the mysterious man who severely injured your father last night!"
Before Nangong Lin could react, Feng Yan had already pushed away Nangong Lin's trident and broke through the air again. The silver whip broke through the wind and energy, and chopped down in the direction of the mother and son without hesitation. Then, a white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the mother and son disappeared out of thin air! The silver snake whip actually hit nothing, and hit heavily on the blue brick slab where they were standing just now, smashing the blue bricks in front of them into rubble!
Before Feng Yan could even retract the silver whip in his hand, he felt another flash of white light in front of his eyes, and then a strange force slowly surged from the other end of the whip. The next moment, the silver whip began to crackle, and before Feng Yan could react, the silver whip in his hand had turned into a pile of silver powder, leaving only a bare silver handle in his hand...
What a terrifying power! Feng Yanxin cried out in despair. Although he had guessed the other party's identity, he did not expect that the other party would be so powerful! He had heard that this person had severely injured General Nangong last night, and he had already prepared himself to face the enemy head-on. However, he did not expect that the other party's strength was far beyond his expectations. At the moment when the other party fought back, he almost despaired and found that he seemed to have no chance of winning. This was a feeling he had never had before!
"Close the city gate quickly!" Someone shouted. The Ruoye soldiers, who were shocked by the sudden change, remembered to close the heavy city gate, but it was too late. A scorching white light passed by them like an arrow and headed straight for the city gate! They were powerless to catch up and could only watch the other party escape!
The situation took a surprising turn in an instant!
Just as the white light was about to disappear at the end of the city gate, suddenly, another white light appeared from outside the city, heading straight for the white light! In the blink of an eye, the two white lights collided with each other!
Everyone inside the city gate watched the two white rays collide with each other. Before they could figure out what was going on, they heard a loud bang! The thunderous noise shook the bluestone ground beneath their feet, as if it was afraid and trembled slightly!
Feng Yan's eyelids twitched violently for a moment, as if he felt the familiar and overbearing pure spiritual energy. The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up slightly, but his brows involuntarily frowned.
He stared at the two intersecting white rays without blinking, and saw that the two white rays gradually formed a rotating gyroscope between the intersecting light and shadow, driving the surrounding airflow to rotate at high speed, and actually formed a dazzling white beam of light that rushed straight into the sky!
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat!" With his outstanding vision and slightly higher cultivation than everyone else, he guessed what kind of huge movement would happen next, and he roared loudly in an instant! Almost at the same time, his body subconsciously rushed to the place closest to the light column, raised his hands, and swung out a barrier, trying to do something for Baoze behind him!
Then, there were faint hissing sounds in the air, and one after another lightning bolts collided with each other in the air and exploded. Then, from the white light column, waves of cold light spread out in all directions...
Countless screams came from behind Feng Yan, accompanied by the dull thuds of several bodies hitting the ground heavily...
At the critical moment, Feng Yan rushed forward and used his own spiritual power to draw a barrier to protect the people behind him. However, he was blasted several feet away like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily...
Look at that figure, it’s the little boy from before!
It seems that person won!
He let out a long sigh, tilted his head, and fainted out of relief...
Then, a man walked out of the light column that had not yet completely faded. He did not chase the fleeing man. The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was the woman in the man's arms who seemed to have lost consciousness. Judging from the woman's clothes, she seemed to be the mother of the little boy just now, but her face, which looked younger but not so beautiful, made people feel that something was wrong. Careful people seemed to notice the half-broken beautiful face that had slipped from the man's hand just now. Perhaps they had guessed something, but they didn't understand why.
Because they gradually saw the man's true face.
Wearing a black armor and a black helmet, he looked so majestic, his sharp facial features were as handsome as a god, and his every move showed a hint of arrogance, which revealed the demeanor of a king. This was the future king of the Ruoye tribe, and also the current king of Yonghui City!
"Your Highness, welcome!"
"Your Highness, welcome!"
Hundreds of Ruoye soldiers knelt on one knee under the city wall. The shouts, one louder than the other, were so deafening that they seemed to be announcing the return of the king of this city!
Long Yu!
She must have returned...
This Yonghui City was a place that she cared about and missed so much. He knew that if she were reincarnated again, she would definitely come back here...
Without any reason, he knew it was her. It was an indescribable tacit understanding.
Fortunately, he caught up at the last and most critical moment!
Fortunately, he met her again five hundred years after losing her!
No one knew that he traveled thousands of miles alone day and night just to keep this unfulfilled promise.
