"Hoo, ho, ho, finally, it stopped!"

Xu Jin bent over, put his hands on his knees, panted heavily, and whispered to himself with some difficulty.

Around him, the other Blood Owl Taoist soldiers were also breathing heavily, and all of them were basically doing the same movements as Xu Jin. Some of them even felt like they were about to lose their balance.

It is hard to imagine that a group of Taoist soldiers with strong bodies and magical powers would be exhausted just because they were on the road.

Xu Jin didn't know how far he had run today, but he estimated that it was at least a few hundred miles away.

After all, after they left the military camp, they had been running with all their strength, over mountains and ridges, under the leadership of Wu Xing, without stopping for a moment. If it were not for the support of the magic power in their bodies, everyone would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Fortunately, it was already getting late, and a city could be seen vaguely ahead. The mana in everyone's bodies had almost been exhausted, and they really didn't have much strength. It was estimated that Wu Xing would not let everyone travel at night again.

Sure enough, after Xu Jin's breathing calmed down a little, he heard Wu Xing's voice.

"It's getting late today, and Zhuqiu is ahead of us. Let's go into Zhuqiu to rest for the time being, and we'll start our journey again early tomorrow morning!"

Hearing Wu Xing's words, the exhausted people immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone rested for a while, and then under the leadership of Wu Xing, they walked towards the city ahead.

"Zhu Qiu!"

Looking at the city ahead, Xu Jin could clearly see the two big characters on the city gate from a distance. Wu Xing had also mentioned this name just now.

Looking from a distance, the city wall named Zhuqiu does not seem to be particularly high, probably less than ten meters, and the overall scale does not look very large. There is still some time before dark, so you can see

There were some soldiers standing guard on the city wall and at the city gate.

After Xu Jin and others approached, the soldiers standing guard at the city gate and wall immediately became slightly nervous. Wu Xing stepped forward to negotiate a little and showed his identity, and then everyone was quickly allowed to enter.

city.

Under the leadership of Wu Xing, Xu Jin and others walked into the city named Zhuqiu facing the envious eyes of the soldiers guarding the city gate.

Feeling the envious looks cast by the soldiers around him, Xu Jin couldn't help but think of himself more than a year ago. At that time, the memory of his previous life had not been awakened. As an ordinary soldier at that time, he also treated the Taoist soldiers in the same way.

Very envious.

Entering the city, you will see a fairly spacious street in front of you. What is special is that this street is actually paved with a kind of red stone bricks. At first glance, it looks very eye-catching. People are coming and going on the street.

It seems quite lively.

However, the crowds walking on the street, after seeing Xu Jin and others entering the city, immediately avoided the left and right sides, not daring to block the path of Xu Jin and others. The originally lively scene disappeared in an instant.

At this time, people on both sides even cast some fearful looks.

Following Wu Xing, everyone quickly found a place to settle in the city. It was an official residence specially used for receptions. The place was not particularly large and could only barely accommodate Xu Jin and others.

After simply arranging accommodation, it was already getting dark. Wu Xing told everyone to have a good rest and not go out casually, and then prepared to leave.

As an official of the Chen State, although Wu Xing had just entered Zhuqiu City and might not know the officials in the city, the invitation to the banquet had already been sent to him, and Wu Xing was not prepared to refuse.

Before preparing to go out, he glanced at the people waiting at the door with their heads bowed. Wu Xing suddenly turned around and spoke to Xu Jin and another Blood Owl Taoist soldier in the crowd.

"Wang An, Xu Jin, you two come with me!"

After hearing Wu Xing's words, Xu Jin felt very tired. Although he was a little reluctant, he obviously had no qualifications to object, so he could only stand up with another person, followed Wu Xing, and walked outside together.

.

The blood owl Taoist soldier named Wang An has a relatively mature appearance. In the past year or so, the opponent was considered to be the Blood owl Taoist soldier. Every time the battle took place, the leader among them, after each battle,

He was the one who took out the talisman to inspire.

Xu Jin and Wang An both knew very well that Wu Xing took the two of them out together at this time just to go to the banquet. They felt that it would be better to have someone around them. Comparatively speaking, the two of them were these blood lords.

Among the Tao soldiers, those who are more flexible are the most suitable to be taken out.

After everyone left the door, they walked for about a quarter of an hour and arrived at the banquet place.

The tall courtyard wall in front of her prevented Xu Jin from seeing what was going on inside. However, Xu Jin just glanced at the gate and realized that this mansion was not simple.

The gate of the mansion is high and wide. Along the door frame, two relief sculptures of snake-like beasts are hovering up. The sculptures are lifelike, making the gate look mysterious and threatening.

Xu Jin glanced at the door and seemed to feel an invisible pressure. It was not very uncomfortable, but it would make people approaching subconsciously want to stop and consider whether they should continue to move forward.

.

Entering the mansion, the scene he saw completely exceeded Xu Jin's expectations. It even made him doubt his own eyes. Was what he saw true?

After entering the gate, the first thing Xu Jin saw was not a house, but a small red hill.

"This is a hill!"

Looking at the hills in front of him, Xu Jin was a little confused at this time. Before entering the gate, he had been mentally prepared. When he came in, he would see a very luxurious mansion, and the architectural style might be quite special.

, there may be some magical things related to practice, but he did not expect that what he saw after entering the door would actually be a mountain.

Reacting from his somewhat confused emotions, Xu Jin's mind started to spin rapidly. The first thing he considered was whether the mountain in front of him was real or whether it was some kind of illusion-like magic?

As soon as this idea came up, Xu Jin denied it himself, because the soft touch from his feet on the ground told him very clearly that everything in front of him was real.

In order to prevent his own sense of touch from being wrong, Xu Jin gently stirred the red soil around his feet with his feet. Looking at the red soil, it was naturally turned up by his feet. Xu Jin was completely sure that the red soil in front of him was

Everything you see is real.

After confirming this, Xu Jin suddenly turned around and looked behind him. The door he just came in from was still standing there, but this door was different from when he saw it outside.

.

The two long snake-like beasts coiled on the door frame seemed to be alive at this time, and their slender bodies seemed to be swimming continuously on the door frame.

"Follow up and don't look around!"

Just when Xu Jin turned to stare at the door, Wu Xing's slightly unhappy voice came into his ears. When Xu Jin heard the words, he quickly turned around, temporarily suppressed his curiosity, and followed him

Keep walking forward behind you.

Following a stairway up the mountain, Xu Jin and others walked towards this small red hill. Walking up the mountain, you can see that the mountains and plains are covered with red vegetation, which is exactly the same color as the mountain. At first glance,

, I thought that these vegetations were all of the same species, but in fact they were of various species.

When Xu Jin walked halfway up the mountain, he saw a large palace building on the top of the mountain. It was very gorgeous, beautiful and grand. When he was at the foot of the mountain just now, he didn't see such a building at all.

Only saw it here.

Continuing along the road, there were people waiting there at the end of the road. After Wu Xing arrived, a middle-aged man dressed very similar to Wu Xing came up to him with a smile on his face.

"Welcome General Wu to Zhuqiu. I have been ordered by Lord Shou to lead the way for General Wu. The nobles in the city have already arrived. Please come this way, General!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, he turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation to Wu Xing.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Wu Xing looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, bowed to him politely, and then led him to a palace.

When he walked to the entrance of the palace, Xu Jin heard the very pleasant music coming from the palace, and along with the sound of music, there were bursts of chanting sounds, which complemented the sound of the music perfectly.

.

Wu Xing and the middle-aged man who led the way walked into the palace. Xu Jin and Wang An, who were following behind, were about to follow in, but were stopped by the guards standing at the door.

"Stop!"

The several guards who stopped them were all wrapped tightly in armor. One of them said to Xu Jin and Xu Jin in a deep voice.

Hearing the words of several guards, Xu Jin and Wang An stopped and looked at Wu Xing who was walking in front, and saw Wu Xing turning around and speaking to them.

"You two don't have to come in, just wait at the door!" After the words fell, Wu Xing turned around again and ignored Xu Jin and Wang An.

After the two received the order, they looked at each other and took two steps back with tacit understanding. When the guards at the door saw this, they also retracted their hands to stop them, leaving them to stand there and wait.

.

Although they did not enter the palace, Xu Jin and the two were standing at a position where they could clearly see the scene inside the palace, so Xu Jin looked into the palace and silently became a spectator at the door.

Having lived in this world for more than twenty years, I don’t know much about this world. Being brought out by Wu Xing this time can be regarded as a rare opportunity to gain insights.
