Save my wife all over the world

Chapter 120 Swordsman and Demon Slayer (6)

============================

——The king summoned talents from various families to gather in the capital of the king.

No one will take this call lightly.

The country has been established for many years, because of the existence of the National Teacher's Mansion, the aristocratic family and the royal family have always maintained peace, and many children of the aristocratic family have entered the National Teacher's Mansion to take orders from the royal family.

But if something important hadn't happened, the king would never have called the family into the capital.

A simple call, full of meaning that the storm is coming.

The head of the Ling family gathered all the elders of the family to discuss this unusual news.

As the leader of the new generation, Ling Yan was also called over.

As soon as she stepped into the discussion hall, she felt a heavy and oppressive atmosphere blowing towards her face. Most of the people present were frowning, as if they were thinking about some crucial issues.

Except for two people.

One is Chu Cheng, who is the representative of the National Teacher's Office. Xu wanted to ask some news from him, so he was invited here today.

He looked completely out of the situation, seeing Ling Yan coming, his eyes overflowed with unconcealable joy, if he didn't take his image into consideration, he would have wished to get up immediately to greet him.

The other person is Gu Zhong. As a guest, she shouldn't be here. It's really strange.

However, this elder Ke Qing didn't give face to the Patriarch, and he didn't care what others said. He rested his elbows on the armrest of the chair and pressed his fist to his forehead.

Even when Ling Yan sat beside her, Gu Zhong's movements didn't change at all, like a sculpture.

"Where's Ling Ying?"

Seeing that only Ling Yan arrived, the Patriarch frowned and asked sharply.

"Disciple doesn't know."

It was only then that Ling Yan realized that there was still one person missing.

Recently Ling Ying didn't seem to have anything else to do besides chasing Gu Zhong. It's incredible that she didn't rush to come here today.

"Where's Ling Ying?"

The head of the family asked this question towards the door, and the disciple guarding the door hurriedly walked in to salute and said.

"Young Master Ying has been very sleepy recently. He just heard Patriarch's call and got up in a hurry. Maybe he hasn't taken care of himself yet."

"What kind of dignity! It's almost past noon, and you're still sleeping! Is the discipline of the disciples at home too lax recently?"

The head of the house patted the square tea table next to the chair, and lost his temper in a moderate way.

At this time, Ling Ying had just arrived late, and apologized repeatedly with a flustered and guilty face, which effectively dispelled the anger of the Patriarch.

Ling Ying swept around the field, stared at Ling Yan with hatred, and sat down next to Chu Cheng with disgust, wondering if she was complaining that she had taken the good seat next to Gu Zhong.

"The king's capital came to order, what do you think?"

Everyone has gathered, and the owner of the house went straight to the topic as soon as he opened his mouth.

"This matter is extraordinary. After the battle of sealing the demons a hundred years ago, the families have never set foot in the royal capital again."

"It's really weird. Why did you call the disciples of various families into the capital? What is the king's plan?"

"Mr. Chu, is there any news from the National Teacher's Mansion?"

"what?"

When he was asked, Chu Cheng's eyes were still frequently drifting towards Ling Yan, and he couldn't help being stunned.

"I've been away from the National Teacher's Mansion for a long time, and I haven't received any unusual messages, but—"

"But what?"

"A few days ago, a letter from the Fuzhong called me to return to the capital as soon as possible."

"That's it - something big will happen in the capital."

"Are you going or not?"

This is the most troublesome problem for the homeowner.

If there is a change in the capital of the king, sending the young disciples there will be a waste of food; but if you don't go, you will be suspected of disrespecting the king, and besides—maybe you can benefit from this change?

Now it's just that the situation in the capital is unclear and it's hard to make a decision.

"If the head of the family is worried, why don't you let me go to the capital to investigate first, and Ling Yan stay behind. After I find out the situation, the rest of the people will go."

At this time Ling Ying seemed quite dedicated, willing to be a pawn, in exchange for a look of appreciation from the Patriarch.

"Stop talking nonsense, this matter needs to be discussed carefully."

But it can't be decided so easily.

"It's not wise to disperse your actions. If you want to go, you should go together."

Regarding Ling Ying's preemptive behavior, Ling Yan couldn't help but take a breath in her heart. Such preemptive behavior seemed like she was greedy for life and afraid of death, so she seized the opportunity and quickly retorted.

"The muddy water in the capital is not as easy to stir up as imagined."

Gu Zhong, who had been pretending to be asleep, opened his eyes, looked at Ling Yan beside him and said, with disapproval all over his face.

From her emotions, Ling Yan clearly sensed Gu Zhong's resistance to the capital, and there seemed to be some hidden story behind it.

"Oh? Elder Gu knows something about the situation in the capital?"

"It's nothing more than a matter of the royal family, or—a matter of the National Teacher's Office."

While speaking, Gu Zhong turned his eyes to Chu Cheng, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"What can happen to the National Teacher's Mansion?"

Chu Cheng was deeply displeased with this, almost angrily reprimanded, as if Gu Zhong's words had insulted the National Teacher's Office.

However, Gu Zhong closed his eyes and ignored him, making him look like a clown in a one-man show, which made Chu Cheng feel even more displeased with her.

"That's even more important! If the royal family or the National Teacher's Office are really in trouble, how can we just sit idly by?"

Ling Yingduan showed a loyal and loyal appearance of worrying about the country and the people.

"go with!"

"No! It's too dangerous!"

"Isn't it enough to keep an eye on it in the dark?"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the elders held on to their own opinions and quarreled.

"Who can guarantee to take care of them in a dangerous environment?"

"Is it easy for us to cultivate these two seedlings after so many years?"

"Why, you look down on Elder Gu?"

"Elder Gu?"

The quarrel suddenly stopped when Gu Zhong was mentioned, everyone turned their heads and looked at Gu Zhong with burning eyes.

Even with his eyes closed, he could still feel the heat, Gu Zhong felt hairy all over his body for a moment, and opened his eyes quickly.

In the end, this matter was still involving her.

"Ahem——Elder Gu, if we decide to enter the capital this time, can you help take care of it? Of course, you won't force it."

The head of the family asked with a smile, as amiable as Maitreya, but the light in his eyes flickered, indicating that this was by no means a request that could be easily refused.

Although Gu Zhong really wanted to say no, but since he was a guest of the Ling family, he was obliged to solve problems.

What's more, if the Ling family decides to enter the capital, Ling Yan will definitely be with them, can she still say no?

If I don't want to go back to that place again, I have to go this time.

"It's ok...not forced..."

Gu Zhong answered very reluctantly.

The discussion came to an end in this way, and the departure was scheduled to take place in three days. Ling Yan and Ling Ying went together, Gu Zhong was among the followers, and Chu Cheng was with them.

"Gu Zhong, you—you don't seem to want to go to the capital?"

Before the trip, while preparing the horse, Ling Yan leaned close to Gu Zhong and asked softly, as if this question should not be too publicized.

"···No."

In order to prevent Ling Yan from probing further, Gu Zhong turned his head and lied bluntly.

The answer this time is too complicated. To Ling Yan, the current self is just a relatively familiar stranger and teacher, maybe not even a friend.

There are many things that have not yet reached the time to talk freely.

"There is!"

Ling Yan didn't buy it, she turned to Gu Zhong, straightened Gu Zhong's face, and wrote "I see through you" all over her face.

"Don't lie to me! I won't force you to do anything!"

Seeing through Gu Zhong's lying, and somehow knowing what she was worried about, Ling Yan felt sullen in her chest, but it's not easy to lose her temper here, so she could only warn with a stern voice.

Seeing her stern, flaring teeth and claws, Gu Zhong felt a warm feeling in his heart, and he put his eager hand on top of Ling Yan's head involuntarily, and rubbed her head like smoothing the fur of a kitten.

Feeling the warmth of Gu Zhong's palm, Ling Yan froze, her eyes widened suddenly, and her heart beat wildly.

"Okay, not in the future."

The culprit made an assurance with an extremely gentle voice, which made Ling Yan's heartstrings twitch again.

"Also, don't touch my head!"

The frightened cat jumped three feet away in an instant, and the volume involuntarily increased, attracting the attention of people around him.

"What are you doing?"

Chu Cheng walked over and looked at Gu Zhong with displeasure.

"None of your business."

Ling Yan answered him angrily, snatched the reins of his mount from the hands of the servants, and took the lead to walk away with the whip.

Gu Zhong gave a low laugh, got on his horse and followed.

"Eh? What's the matter with these two people? Hurry up! I'm leaving first, Mr. Chu, please!"

Ling Ying was bewildered and unwilling to be left behind, so he rode his horse and chased after him.

Chucheng was left alone, choked on the dust raised by the horseshoe three times in a row, and had to stay at the end to pack their bags, just like an old woman.

-

Even if you are taking the official road, the journey to the capital is not entirely smooth, and you will always encounter all kinds of demons coming to attack at night, but it is not a fear for their team at all.

"I always feel that the frequency of monsters appearing recently is a bit high, it seems that there are more and more?"

After another fierce battle, Ling Yan was the first to raise doubts.

"Is there? Are they all the same? Is there a possibility, because we haven't traveled far before?"

Ling Ying wanted to contradict her.

"I think it's too much, and these monsters feel far less powerful than they have ever encountered before."

Chu Cheng was naturally on Ling Yan's side.

"Demon Transformer—"

Walking to the demon that had not completely dissipated, Gu Zhong knelt down and looked carefully for a moment.

"what?"

Hearing this, Chu Cheng seemed terrified, and hurried to Gu Zhong's side to examine the demon's corpse with her.

"What is a Demon Transformer?"

It was the first time Ling Yan had heard of this concept, so she couldn't help asking curiously.

Ling Ying stood aside with her arms folded, as if listening attentively.

"Some monsters are extremely powerful and can transform people into their followers, and the demonized people will degenerate into irrational monsters, bloodthirsty and easy to kill, but they are not strong.

These people - we call them demons. "

Chu Cheng explained with a pale face.

"So, the people we killed along the way are actually people?"

Ling Yan was stunned.

"Hey, they've all turned into demons, so there's no humanity left. The demon-turners put it nicely, but they're still demons after all."

Ling Ying scoffed at this.

"Really? So when you meet demon transformers, you will still kill them mercilessly? Even though they may still retain their humanity, it's just hard to control themselves?"

Gu Zhong stood up and faced Ling Ying, showing his might.

"if not?"

Regarding Gu Zhong's question, Ling Ying responded sternly, and it was rare that he did not agree unprincipledly.

"What about you?"

Gu Zhong threw the question to Ling Yan.
