Chapter 1911 Have a Bit of a Philosophical Temperament
Weng Lan listened very carefully, at least she looked more serious than Qin An.
Qin An had been walking around while looking around. He didn't even look at the old man who was talking nonsense. He didn't know if he had listened to him or not.
The old man didn't mind either. He noticed that Weng Lan was listening carefully, so he took the initiative to watch Weng Lan speak. This made Weng Lan even more embarrassed not to listen carefully.
As a result, after walking out of the city, Weng Lan learned a lot. This story was a bit like the Eastern version of the Princess' Calamity. No, it should be the Emperor's Calamity.
This was an ancient world, but perhaps the continent was bigger and there were more people.
It is said that twenty years ago, the Cloud Empire unified almost all the territory of this continent and established the most unified and gigantic nation in history.
However, the good times did not last long. The emperor of the Cloud Empire, Long Tianchen, died of illness and passed the throne to Junfeng.
Although Long Junfeng was young, he was still capable. However, he was unable to gather the hearts of the people, because the hearts of the people were already very messy. His father had taken down the country and died without waiting for treatment.
As a result, the Cloud Empire split up. If he hadn't escaped quickly, he would have already lost his life in the capital.
After fleeing, Long Junfeng began to gather his loyal father's old subordinates. He wanted to counterattack, but the enemy was too strong. After all these years of fighting, Long Junfeng did not even understand who he was at war with. In the end, he was forced to the southernmost Cape City of the continent.
The Horn of the Sea was a huge stretch of land that stretched like the sea. The highest part of the mountain range was more than 10,000 meters, and the lowest part was more than 1,000 meters.
It could be said that this was a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but there was also a desperate situation behind it. There was no way to retreat. There were all sorts of monsters in the deep sea, and they were simply unable to sail.
In fact, the emperor had been guarding this city for more than a year, and now was the most difficult time.
"Ah, that's why you came at a bad time. Now that all the roads outside are blocked, since you've entered, you won't be able to leave at all."
Weng Lan still respected the old and loved the young. She felt that the old man was kind and said, "Don't worry, old man. Since we've come, we can naturally find a way to protect ourselves, right, Qin An?"
Weng Lan felt that she was boasting about being able to protect herself, but it still depended on Qin An's intentions.
Qin An turned to look at her after being asked by Weng Lan and nodded with a smile.
Qin An was not deaf, so he naturally heard the old man's story.
From the looks of it, this city might not only be Long Junfeng's desperate situation, it was also arranged for him forever. Previously, the siege of zombies in the Altar City was just a precursor. This was the real battle.
Sigh, it seems that he can't deal with the Giant Stone Territory anymore. He only hopes that his daughters Qin Yue and Qi Hao will be safe.
Qin An had already tried. At the very least, he was still unable to break through the barrier and leave this place. This meant that the spirit formation of this space was very complicated and the energy was also very large.
When he followed the old man, Qin An observed the terrain here. It was very fantastic.
From the side of the city wall, it was tilting downwards. At this time, in a city of basins, houses were piled together, and the streets and alleys looked very backward.
However, there were many people here, and the city could be considered large. Qin An could not see the city's boundary even if he stood at a high altitude.
The walls on this side were even more distinctive. The cliffs rose to the zenith. Such a natural wall could already be considered a divine work of ghosts and axes. It was definitely not something that human engineering could build. Even modern architectural technology could be used in all sorts of ways.
Right now, Qin An was wearing short sleeves, and Weng Lan was also wearing jeans, revealing her figure.
The people nearby were shocked and disdained by this kind of clothing. If it weren't for the old man and the young man beside them, they would probably have come over with picks to kill Weng Lan and herself.
Qin An walked and saw that there was a clothing store ahead, so he pulled Qin Yue in to buy clothes.
The clothes here were all coarse cloth. It seemed that they were even more ancient than the ancient times. Those that touched them were hard enough to make armor. Only after inquiring Qin An did he know that these clothes were actually tailored from tree bark.
Here is a tree, the bark of which can be peeled off and cut into clothes. The material is similar to hard cloth, but it is really hard.
Ah, looks like we can only continue to wear strange clothes. We can't walk around wearing tree bark, can we?
After coming out of the clothing store, Weng Lan ran to Qin An and whispered,
"What should we do next?"
"En, there's no plan. Let's settle down here and wait for Eternal to find us."
"What? You want to wait for him to find you?"
"Yes, I still don't know who he is. He has the heart to kill him, but he doesn't have that much hatred for her. He has a lot of hatred for me and will definitely take the initiative to look for me. Since that's the case, why should I look for him? Just wait and see."
Seeing Qin An being so calm, Weng Lan finally felt much more at ease.
It was Qin An who brought her in, and the more she interacted with Qin An, the more Weng Lan trusted this man.
If they were really as close as the book says… Of course he would protect himself.
No, no, I have to look at Apocalyptic city's book sometime before I can know everything about myself and him. Weng Lan had this thought in her heart.
"Ah? There's an inn over there. Old man Whitebeard, my wife and I are staying here. Thank you for escorting us along the way. Since we can't live without our husband and wife, you can stay here first. If you have time, you can come and drink."
Weng Lan frowned. She didn't expect Qin An's skin to be so thick. She directly said that they were husband and wife.
Alright, alright. Anyway, no one here knows them, so Qin An can just say that. As long as he doesn't admit it in his heart, it's fine.
The white-bearded old man said politely,
"Since the general wants to stay, I won't disturb him for now. Why don't I send you a guard so that no matter what you do in the city, there won't be any expenses?"
"Oh, that's good. Thank you, old man."
Qin An was very impolite.
The white-bearded old man smiled and looked at the young general beside him.
"Hua Jun, I think you should follow this general."
"Me?"
Primordial Huajun was dumbfounded at that time. He didn't expect that he would be assigned this job. After a moment of daze, he shook his head like a rattle drum.
"Imperial Teacher, I still have to go to war. How can I be here to protect this person? You underestimated me!"
"Ah, Lord Hua, it's not that Mu Nan Xiang underestimated you. I know that you are a young hero. Your ancient family is also a loyal official of our Yun Empire. However, in the past few years, all 23 men of the ancient family have died in battle. Now that you are the only child in the family, it is already difficult for the old woman to let you be the guardian of the city. Don't even think about rushing forward."
"Hmph, what city protection general? He's just a young general who maintains the movement of resources in the rear. He can't even touch the enemy's hair."
"Don't underestimate this position. We've always been fighting a city defense battle. The allocation of resources is much more important than on the frontline. If the city defense resources can't keep up, then we won't be able to continue fighting."
"But there are thousands of city guards behind us who are responsible for managing supplies!"
Primordial Huajun looked very annoyed, but he was obviously still unconvinced.
Qin An and Weng Lan exchanged a glance. They really didn't expect that this Ancient Huajun was still the only child of the Yang Clan. All the males of one sect had died. Did they also leave behind a widow?
Of course, this was Qin An's idea, leaving a mark on his thoughts.
At this time, a fast horse came and asked State Teacher Mu Nan to head to the front. The enemy retreated. I wonder if there are any other plots.
Mu Nan Xiang frowned and said, "I should really have retreated. However, I'm also afraid that in case, Hua Jun, these two distinguished guests will be handed over to you. I'll go back to the city wall and take a look."
As Mu Nan Xiang finished his words, Da Ma left with the messenger.
That Ancient Huajun's mouth was pouting, clearly still a child's personality.
Qin An smiled and said, "Kid, hurry up. Your Imperial Teacher said just now that my expenses are free. Let me ask you, do you have any wine here?"
"Wine? Humph! We have a lot of wine here, and they are all spirits. I'm afraid that you won't be able to get up after taking a sip!"
"Ahhhh, kid, I've lived for so many years. I've never seen you so arrogant. If you don't accept it, come and fight. Let's make a bet. If I get drunk by you, I'll listen to you in this place and let you be the boss in the future. If you get drunk by me, then listen to me in the future and let me be your boss. How about it?"
"Alright! Come on, I haven't been afraid of anyone since I drank in this city."
Ancient Huajun was actually considered a playboy. He had not been spoiled by the women in his family. It was depressing not to let him go to the frontlines. Hearing that he was going to fight over wine, he immediately regained his spirits.
Qin An looked at his surroundings and pointed at the hillside not far away. "It's near the cliff. I think the environment is good. Why is there no one living there?"
"It's too close to the city wall. Of course, no one will live there."
"But there are clearly no people running on the hillside, and the city over there is also considered to be evenly distributed. Why is there no one living there?"
Primordial Huajun was stunned for a moment, and then said depressingly, "You are such a lousy person. I've already said it. Because you're too close to the city wall, you can't hold it back! That's the reason!"
Qin An smiled and finally understood the truth.
"Alright, Ancient Huajun, go buy some wine and vegetables, and help me buy some tools to build a house. I'll get some wood, so I plan to go up and settle down."
"What? Are you going to build a house?"
"Yes, that's it. I forgot what your Imperial Teacher said and asked you to help me spend it."
As Qin An spoke, he pulled Weng Lan's hand up.
Weng Lan was also confused about Qin An. Was she not going to find Eternal, but she was going to settle down here? She was truly impressed!
Weng Lan couldn't help but ask, "Qin An, why is it that no one lives near the city wall?"
"Haha, did you not understand this question?"
"Yes."
"Actually, the reason is very simple. However, it is complicated by our thinking."
"What logic?"
"A gentleman does not build a wall of danger."
"What?"
"A gentleman doesn't stand under the wall. Because this side is too close to the city wall, everyone feels that it is not safe, so no one goes over to settle down. This is the reason."
Weng Lan was a little dumbfounded. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed like this.
Sigh, it's really complicated.
Weng Lan couldn't help but laugh as she walked. This Qin An was quite interesting and had a bit of a philosophical temperament.
