Chapter 680: Lin Xuelan Arrives at Yelang Kingdom

Above the desert, the scorching sun hung high, and the hot sunlight distorted the air. Some desert creatures emerged from the sand and crawled towards the direction where the smell of blood came from. When they saw people behind them, , and quickly hid.

Chen Mo did not answer the words of the bandit leader. He just said to Han Yang and others: "Leave it to you."

After saying that, he picked up the water bottle on his waist and drank some water.

After Han Yang and the others were stunned for a while, it was Yuzhu who made the first move and killed the bandit leader with one sword.

The bandit leader had been severely injured at that moment and could hardly resist.

Looking at the dead bandit leader, Yuzhu's face was calm and his eyes were indifferent. He was obviously not a flower in the greenhouse.

Only the woman in the blue skirt had a hint of fear on her indifferent cheeks. After calming down for a while, she quickly stepped forward to help Han Yang and said with a worried look on her face: "Grandpa Han, are you okay?"

"No cough." Han Yang just wanted to say it was okay, then he coughed and coughed up some blood. It was obvious that he was seriously injured.

"Yuzhu, go and get the medicine box." The woman in blue skirt helped Han Yang sit down and said to Yuzhu.

"Yes, miss."

Yuzhu bandaged the wound on Han Yang's shoulder, and then used her kung fu to help Han Yang heal.

After feeling better for a while, Han Yang asked Yuzhu to help him up and walked towards Chen Mo and the others.

"Thank you little brother for saving your life. I'm very grateful. I would like to ask you to bow down to me." When he came to Chen Mo, Han Yang bowed and saluted.

"My name is Lin Xuelan, and this is my good friend Yuzhu. I would like to thank you, sir." Lin Xuelan, a woman in blue skirt, and Yuzhu, a slave, also saluted Chen Mo.

"You're welcome, it's just a little effort. If they didn't want to commit murder, I probably wouldn't take action." Chen Mo's eyes swept over Lin Xuelan's body calmly. He was surrounded by beauties. Even if Lin Xuelan's appearance was not bad, Chen Mo showed his timidity in dealing with beautiful women and immediately said:

"It's a pity that the person who led the way is dead. Since you are a caravan going out for business, you should know how to get to Yelang Kingdom."

"Don't worry, young master, we are from the Yelang Kingdom, and we are very familiar with the road to the Yelang Kingdom." Lin Xuelan said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Han Yang immediately added: "Little brother, since we are on the same journey, let's continue traveling together. If you have time, I would like to invite you to go there. Jincheng, my lady’s family is in Jincheng, and the Lin family has a clear grudge. My little brother helped us, and we will definitely repay him for his kindness. "

"Grandpa Han is right, I, the Lin family, must repay any kindness I have done." Lin Xuelan also said quickly.

Chen Mo knew that repayment was only part of it, and his real intention was to protect them all the way.

But he didn’t know the way to Yelang Country anyway, so it would be good to have someone to guide him.

Chen Mo nodded.

Han Yang immediately showed a happy expression, and even Lin Xuelan and Yuzhu felt relieved.

With Chen Mo here, I will feel much more at ease on the next journey.

"I wonder what you call me?" Lin Xuelan asked.

"Mo Yu." Chen Mo made up a name casually.

"Master Mo." Lin Xuelan raised her hand to Chen Mo again.

Because the guards were all dead and Han Yang was injured, Lin Xuelan was embarrassed to ask Chen Mo and the others to help her drive the car. Instead, such a big change happened, so the most important thing was to get to Yelang Kingdom as soon as possible.

Lin Xuelan was also decisive and immediately ordered Yuzhu to abandon some goods and take valuables as well as food and water. The previous eight vehicles were reduced to three vehicles.

They also invited Chen Mo and four others to take two of the cars and sit in the carriages to reduce their exposure to the sun.

Chen Mo didn't refuse. If he could enjoy it, he would naturally not look for punishment.

Chen Mo and Nalan Yi were in the same car.

Liang Mu and Si Song were in the same car.

Han Yang, Lin Xuelan, and Yuzhu were in a car and continued on their way.

Lin Xuelan's car was in front, and Yuzhu was in charge of driving.

In the carriage, Lin Xuelan was still a little surprised by what happened before, and she started chatting with Han Yang.

"The leader of the sand bandits should be stronger than you, Grandpa Han. Yuzhu couldn't even catch one of his moves, but he was seriously injured by someone thrown by Mr. Mo casually. Mr. Mo's strength, I'm afraid he's even more powerful than Dad," Lin Xuelan whispered.

"The strength of the leader of the sand bandit should also be at the sixth level, but there are different levels in the same realm. The other party should have been immersed in the realm of Qi for longer than me. As for Mr. Mo, I can't tell. Definitely above the master's strength," Han Yang guessed.

"Above Dad, isn't that the fourth rank? If you look at our Yelang Kingdom, it would be in the top ten. After all, the Song Dynasty is not comparable to that of a small country like ours." Lin Xuelan sighed and said .

"It should be." Han Yang said. As for being above the fourth rank, it should be impossible. After all, the other party is so young.

"Zizzi."

Lin Xuelan smacked her lips slightly, with a hint of admiration in her eyes. The other person was only a few years older than her at most, but his strength was already above her father's.

"Grandpa Han, what do you think they did in Yelang Country?"

"I heard the old man next to Mo Yu say before that they had offended someone and came to the Western Region to escape?"

"Did Kyoto take in a group of nobles from the Song Dynasty before? I heard that these people were related to Lu Sheng, the former prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Grandpa Han, do you think the person Mr. Mo offended was the Song Dynasty and Wei Dynasty? King, otherwise, with Master Mo’s strength, there would be no need to flee to the Western Regions," Lin Xuelan guessed.

"It is possible. I guess that the name Mo Yu is fake." Han Yang had never heard of this name in the Song Dynasty. After all, Mo Yu is so young. With this strength, if he was really called this name, he should have made a name for himself in the Song Dynasty.

"Okay, Miss, don't make blind guesses. No matter what their identities are, at least they are our benefactors now." Han Yang said.

Lin Xuelan nodded: "If it weren't for Mr. Mo, I guess we would be in this situation now."

Lin Xuelan was a little scared just thinking about it.

...

There are really many sand bandits on the way to the Western Regions.

Especially Chen Mo and his group are few in number, and they look like soft persimmons. Just today, if you don't count the group of Huluguang, there are three waves of sand bandits trying to rob them.

However, the strength of these three waves of sand bandits is much weaker than that of Huluguang's brother. Most of them are just ordinary people. The few warriors are only ninth-grade, and their weapons are not sophisticated. Yuzhu can scare them away.

Although Chen Mo was the lifesaver of Lin Xuelan and the other two, by nature, Lin Xuelan and Yuzhu were not the kind of people who were enthusiastic and talkative to strangers. Therefore, in the next few days, except for Yuzhu who came to the right time to deliver food to Chen Mo and the others, there was almost no communication with Chen Mo.

Han Yang was quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to chat with Chen Mo and the others. They talked a lot.

From Han Yang's words, we learned that they came to the Song Dynasty to visit Lin Xuelan's grandfather in Xiliang.

Lin Xuelan's mother was from Xiliang in the Song Dynasty.

When her father came to Xiliang to purchase goods when he was young, the first person he traded with was Lin Xuelan's grandfather.

Later, her father and her grandfather became good business partners. Later, at a banquet, her father met her mother, and they fell in love and got married soon, and had Lin Xuelan.

Now her grandfather is old and has been suffering from illness recently. Lin Xuelan came to Xiliang to visit her grandfather on behalf of her mother and lived in Xiliang for a while.

After seeing that grandpa's health had improved, he hired the strongest Hulu Escort Agency in the Yangtian Pass area to escort them back, but he didn't expect this to happen.

And Han Yang was the old housekeeper of the Lin family.

Lin Xuelan grew up under his watch.

...

On October 9, the third year of Yong'an.

The convoy arrived at Motie City.

This city was the first town after entering Yelang.

The outline of a city that was relatively huge in the eyes of Lin Xuelan and others gradually appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at Motie City not far away, not only Lin Xuelan and others breathed a sigh of relief, but even Chen Mo was also relaxed a lot.

After looking at the yellow sand for several days in a row, I finally saw green at this moment.

Of course, Motie City is not located on an oasis. The green here is just compared to the previous desert, with more vegetation, and the cactus is almost higher than the city wall.

There are few people in the city. After all, the entire Yelang Kingdom has only a few hundred thousand people, and a large number of people are still concentrated in cities covered with vegetation. In this way, how many people can there be in such a city built in the desert?

The streets seemed even more deserted, and every corner was filled with a mixture of various fragrances. The men and women in the city were dressed similarly to the Nalan Yi people at this time.

After all, this kind of dress can not only prevent sand, but also withstand the sun's exposure.

Since it was late at this time, the group found an inn to stay and replenish food and water.

After all, it was still a few days away from Jincheng mentioned by Han Yang.

In this desert city, alcohol and food are particularly expensive, especially alcohol, which is almost sold at a sky-high price.

The group rested in the inn for one night and continued on the next day.

Chen Mo wanted to take a shower last night, but the inn didn't provide it.

When Chen Mo talked about this in the morning, Han Yang smiled and said, "Desert cities like this are very short of water. People here want to take a shower, just wet a towel, wring it out, and wipe their bodies from head to toe."

Chen Mo immediately felt a chill, thinking that the fragrance everywhere in the city from the streets to the alleys could also cover up the body odor.

Lin Xuelan said, "Don't worry, Mr. Mo, you don't have to worry about taking a shower when you get to Jincheng."

...

Three days later, Jincheng.

When he first stepped into Jincheng, Chen Mo obviously felt that there was more "green". Except for the higher temperature, the rest was similar to some cities in the south of the Song Dynasty.

The scale of Jincheng is much larger than that of Motie City before. It may be because of the proper planning. The whole city gives people a sense of grandeur. On the spacious streets, there is a constant flow of people, which forms a strong contrast with the deserted Motie City.

It felt like the people of Yelang were all in this city.

The men and women in this city were no longer so "covered" in their attire.

Many of the women were dressed in the same way as Yuzhu.

After entering the city, the group got off the car.

"Mr. Mo, what do you think of Jincheng?" As if she finally had something to show off, Lin Xuelan looked at Chen Mo.

"Yes, I didn't even see this half-dressed beggar."

If you want to see how the people in a city live well, you have to start from the bottom.

If there are a lot of beggars in this city, then this city is only prosperous on the surface.

But Chen Mo has not seen a single beggar since he entered Jincheng.

Lin Xuelan was a little surprised by this, but she just thought that "the county magistrate couldn't bear the suffering of the world, so he drove the beggars out of the city."

After wandering around the city for a while, the group got on the car and arrived in front of a huge mansion.

Yuzhu helped Lin Xuelan get off the car.

"Miss is back." The guard at the door saw Lin Xuelan, and asked someone to go in to pass the message, while the rest of the people quickly came up to help unload the things on the car.

Han Yang took Chen Mo and the other four, followed Lin Xuelan and Yuzhu, and entered the Lin Mansion.

After entering the Lin Mansion, Lin Xuelan met some servants along the way.

At this time, Lin Xuelan found something wrong.

Because when these servants greeted her, their expressions were not as "enthusiastic" as before, as if they were hiding something from her.

In addition, she had been in the mansion for so long, and her brothers and sisters should also come to greet her.

Lin Xuelan quickened her pace, led Chen Mo and the other four, and came to the hall of the Lin Mansion after passing through several paths and corridors.

From a distance, Lin Xuelan saw many figures gathered in the hall.

Lin Xuelan knew most of the people inside.

In addition to her mother, her father's five concubines, the sons and daughters born to the concubines, her father's brothers and sisters were also there.

But she didn't see her father.

Lin Xuelan's face changed slightly and she walked over quickly.

Han Yang also felt something was wrong, so he led Chen Mo and the other four to follow.

"Xuelan, you're back. Is your grandpa okay?" Lin Xuelan's mother, Mrs. Hu, who was discussing matters in the hall, saw Lin Xuelan coming in and immediately stopped the discussion. She went up to hold Lin Xuelan's hand and looked around.

At the same time, the aunts and uncles in the hall also greeted Lin Xuelan, but there was no smile on their faces.

"Xue Lan."

"Xue Lan is back."

"I haven't seen you for a few months. You've lost weight."

"."

"Xue Lan, you're finally back. Did something happen to your father?" Lin Xue Lan's second uncle, her father's younger brother, looked serious. When he was about to tell Lin Xue Lan about her father, he suddenly saw the four people led in by Han Yang. His brows slightly frowned: "Old Han, who are these people?"

Han Yang was about to speak, Lin Xue Lan remembered that she almost forgot about Chen Mo and the others, and said first: "Mom, second uncle, this is Master Mo Yumo. Master Mo is my savior. If it weren't for him this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back."

Lin Xue Lan then quickly recounted what happened on the way back to Yelang.
