Apocalyptic Rebirth: Across the World

Chapter 124

A huge crystal chandelier hangs upside down on the high arc-shaped roof, countless ribbons and bells hang on the surrounding walls, and there are countless small crystal lights dotted in it, as if the stars in the Milky Way are dazzling.The rectangular dining table has been extended to the courtyard, on which there are all kinds of fresh fruits, sweet cakes, and exquisite dishes.

The ladies wore long dresses on the floor, holding transparent crystal glasses filled with deep red wine, shining under the bright lights, most of them gathered together to chat about all the clothing, jewelry, cosmetics, even These things are nothing compared to a piece of moldy bread in the last days.But when they receive a gentleman's greeting from a man, they will greet them with a very decent smile, and the long skirt often draws a beautiful arc on the scarlet wool carpet.It is much easier for men to get together. Most of them win over relationships and establish alliances, constantly expanding their social circles, so that they can get more and more valuable news.

"Yuzhen, you are still so beautiful. I heard that the youngest of the Xu family showed his love in the street a few days ago, which is really enviable." A slightly high-pitched voice sounded, and there was a strong sense of irony and mockery in it that could not be ignored Well, who doesn't know that Qin Yuzhen was rejected by the servants of the Ling family in the street, and it would be aggrieved to marry a servant in their capacity, but who knows that they don't want it.

"Chen Yun, if you like Xu Jiahao, go after him yourself. I'm not interested in him at all. If you like him, take it." Qin Yuzhen was rejected by Ling Zhong in the street. At this time, someone was poking her wound, how could she bear it? Come on, her Qin family is not easy to bully after all.

Even if he was so jealous in his heart, Chen Yun couldn't stand it when Qin Yuzhen said it face to face. Suddenly his small face turned pale, then red, and then crimson purple. The whole face was like a color palette. , changing color repeatedly.

"The Xu family is not our Chen family's high-ranking, only a woman like Yuzhen who dares to love and hate." Chen Yun, who was choked and speechless, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked at the steering wheel at the door. Even his complexion improved, and he looked at Qin Yuzhen with gloating eyes.

Qin Yuzhen was taken aback, and followed Chen Yun's gaze towards the door. Even though she was ready, there was still a bang in her head like a firecracker, shaking her brains and making her feel groggy.

There were two tall and straight figures standing at the door, one with exquisite eyebrows and slightly slanted phoenix eyes, like a lazy fox dozing off, with only occasional eye movements but extremely domineering.The man next to him is much more ordinary. Although he is very handsome, standing next to such a dazzling man, the light will inevitably be covered. He seems to be hidden in the shadows, making people ignore him accidentally. , but Qin Yuzhen knew the real arrogance, courage and pride of this person.

Ling Zhong, do you really not remember me?

"It's really a bunch of moths." Ling Tian was used to extravagance, and when he saw the banquet arrangement, he was secretly stunned. This is not the end of the world, it's like going back to the peaceful age.

Ling Zhong secretly supported Ling Tian's waist, and said with a smile, "It's not the first day that you know how good these people are, and today you want to give our family a big blow, how can you do it if you don't put in some effort?"

Ling Tian said the words "our family" with sweetness in his heart. Looking at Ling Zhong's affectionate look, and feeling the fiery hands holding his waist, he felt that last night Ling Zhong called him "dissatisfied with his desires." "And the things I did were not so angry anymore.

Sensing the change in his daughter-in-law's attitude, Ling Zhong immediately exerted all his strength to curry favor with the good-natured girl, talking softly and tenderly, all for the sake of a "happy" life.

Ling Tian only felt that the love words in his ears were like the breeze in spring, which made people feel warm and comfortable, and also like a cold drink in the scorching sun. Drinking it made the whole body feel comfortable and indescribably enjoyable.

The two stayed together for several years, and now they are together, they stick together everywhere, and it doesn't matter the occasion, so Ling Tian just said hello to the master, and held two big plates in Ling Zhong Accompanied by food, I found a secluded place and continued to talk about love.All that was left was the sadness and tenderness of Vice Minister Feng Zhonglang and Qin Yuzhen.

"Oh, I didn't expect Ling Tian to have this side. He's really tender and sweet, and I'm envious of others! But these two are really a good match, do you think it's Yuzhen?" Chen Yun blinked at Qin Yuzhen after speaking, she just now He didn't lower his voice when he spoke, so everyone around heard it clearly. What secrets do they have? The story of Qin Yuzhen being rejected in the street has long been spread, and now all eyes are looking at Qin Yuzhen, Waiting for her statement.

Qin Yuzhen, who has always been calm and generous at banquets, was speechless for the first time. She knew what the best answer was, but she couldn't say anything. It was like drinking bitter tea in her heart. Trembling, but unable to utter a word, Chen Yun's face in front of her eyes became hideous, even the devil did not make her hate it so much, and the seemingly invisible eyes of the people around her made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles.

"Naturally suitable." Qin Yuzhen didn't know how to say it, but felt the bleeding in her heart was unbearable, "Ah Yun, if you envy me, you should hurry up and find one. Don't let uncles and aunts worry about you."

"A family like ours naturally has parents who decide for us, how can they be as enlightened as the Qin family?" Even in modern times, how can officials from their aristocratic families have real freedom of marriage, it's just a marriage of interest.

This was Chiguo slapping the Qin family in the face, Qin Yuzhen secretly hated, "Ah Yun has been talking about good match today, I thought you were too" before finishing the second half of the sentence, she pursed her lips and smiled.His big eyes blinked, looking very playful.

"It's none of my business. I just care about seeing Yuzhen." Chen Yun waved her hand with an innocent look.

Those present who were not human beings naturally saw Qin Yuzhen's strangeness. Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Chen Yun didn't care about being stabbed for a few words. She just pursed her lips and smiled, "But fate is destined naturally, and those who envy others are also envious." Come on, let me wait." Without giving Qin Yuzhen a chance, she turned around and walked towards the crowd not far away, and the small group burst into laughter after a while.

Qin Yuzhen's face was ashen. She felt as if she had stripped off her clothes and was standing in front of the public, under everyone's scrutiny.

"Aren't you going to be a hero to save the beauty?" Ling Tian smiled and said to Ling Zhong, "I feel sorry for such a delicate girl, so why don't you?"

Ling Zhong's answer was to directly pinch Ling Tian's already sore waist, "Do you feel distressed?" There was a dangerous light in his deep eyes.

Ling Tian hurriedly shook his head, joking, if he pinches his waist like this, he will definitely turn blue. It is obvious that this person is messing around outside, but why is he himself the one who suffers in the end?And I don't know if it's an illusion, Ling Zhong has become more and more domineering recently.

Ling Zhong put his arms around Ling Tian and continued to talk about love, but his eyes turned dark as he swept into the hall. He really didn't see the poor acting skills, but he wanted to make himself feel guilty so that he could take advantage of it. It might be the case with other men, but unfortunately, Ling Zhong has never been a sympathetic... When he saw Xu Jiahao approaching him to show his hospitality, the corners of Ling Zhong's mouth curled up.

"What's wrong with you?" Ling Tian looked at Ling Zhong suspiciously, it's embarrassing when no one cheers you when you are arrogant!

Ling Zhong pointed his chin in Qin Yuzhen's direction. Ling Tian is not stupid, but he is rather clumsy when it comes to Ling Zhong's affairs. Now that it is on-demand, he understands how Qin Yuzhen can be bullied.

"Oh, your charm is not small, you have made people use all kinds of tricks."

"Whether it's big or not, you know best." Ling Zhong lowered his head and rubbed against Ling Tian's neck, obstinately changing the topic.

After Ling Zhong made a fuss, the sourness in Ling Tian's heart eased a lot, after struggling a few times, he started talking to Ling Zhong in a low voice again.

The Zheng family, the Xia family, and the Xu family, headed by the Zheng family, are all grasshoppers on the same rope. They are deadly enemies with the Chu family and the Ling family. , The little devil suffers, the upper level pinches each other, and the people below suffer accordingly. They have to stand in line, express their opinions, and all kinds of spies every day. It is a dream to live a quiet and low-key life.And holding a banquet like this before the end of the world is also a good opportunity to attract and expand contacts, and many people flock to it.

"Dad, will they stop coming?" Zheng Jinjin whispered to Zheng Xiong beside him with a wine glass in his hand and his eyes fixed on the door.

Zheng Xiong was talking politely with Qian Yi, the host of the banquet. Hearing this, he glanced at the door and said disdainfully, "You don't need to care about a small Ling Xiao? Look at your little promise, you don't look like someone who does big things!" After finishing speaking, he smiled and apologized to Qian Yi, "I was wronged in the barracks a few days ago. I don't want to make up for it every day. I don't look like a grown-up." The fact that Progress was kicked out of the barracks by Ling Xiao was defined as a fight between children. If there were any quarrels in the future, it would only be a matter of the juniors and would not affect the overall situation.

Qian Yi was able to secure his position as the deputy head of the logistics department in troubled times, and he was also capable. Now Wen Xianyin naturally understood the elegance, smiled and agreed, "General Zheng is too strict, but it's just a matter between children. Let them solve it by themselves." They were all driven out of the barracks, and they were really thick-skinned about the children.

Zheng Xiong was happy to see Qian Yi being so active, and he smiled and made friends with Qian Yila. After a while, the two chatted very warmly, looking like old friends for many years.

"Uncle Zheng" Xia Qiu also came over with a wine glass at this time, he was very handsome and clean, with a pair of curved eyes, he smiled before saying a word, a very pleasing appearance, his eyes were full of dependence and admiration when he looked at Zheng Xiong.

"Aqiu, come and meet your Uncle Qian. If you don't have enough things in the future, I will ask your Uncle Qian to go." Zheng Xiong saw that the smile on Xia Qiu's face became much more real. This child is capable and loyal. There is a lot of admiration, so that he doesn't mind loving him a little more.

"Uncle Qian" Xia Qiu smiled at Qian Yi, and said mischievously, "Then I will have to rely more on Uncle Qian from now on!"

Qian Yi laughed out loud. This is someone Zheng Xiong valued, and with the support of the Xia family, his own ability should not be underestimated. Although he didn't take sides, he didn't mind selling himself.

Xia Qiu obediently picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. The wine glass happened to cover the curvature of his mouth, and the legendary old fox in the officialdom was no different.

At the same time, two figures appeared at the door. Different from Ling Tian and Ling Zhong, one was radiant and the other was hidden behind the light. An indescribable harmony.

The gentle man's face is very delicate and handsome, his dark and deep eyes are like high-quality black jade, which makes people intoxicated, and the faint smile that always hangs on the corner of his mouth makes people look amiable, and he is full of Pian Pianjia. appearance.

The man standing next to him is very tough, his facial features are as deep as a knife, his eyes are cold, his body is straight like a sharp sword that cannot be bent, and his whole body exudes bloodthirsty desire.

The two stood very close. Although there was no obvious intimacy, there was a warm and tacit understanding flowing between them.

The appearance of the two made the whole hall quiet. They were young, handsome and powerful, making people forget their words for a moment.

Most people at the banquet knew or met Ling Xiao and Qi Mufeng before the end of the world, the young master of the Ling family, the head of the Qi family, which one was not a famous figure.Seeing that the two of them are so beautiful after the end of the world, they can't help but grit their teeth secretly, how can someone have such a good life.

"Haha, my nephew is here, and he looks much stronger than before."

The quiet atmosphere was broken by Qian Yi's haha. He walked up to Ling Xiao and patted him on the shoulder.

There was no discomfort on Ling Xiao's face, and he also smiled and asked some questions about how he was doing recently, whether he was eating well, and whether he was sleeping well. The two of them asked and answered, and the people in the living room were all chilled aside.

"Dad, this person is too ignorant. Do you think he has taken refuge in Chu?" Zheng Jinjin gritted his teeth looking at Qian Yi's back. He didn't feel it when he was talking to them just now, but now he is talking to Ling Xiao Only then did I realize that people didn't mean anything to their family.

Zheng Xiong also frowned, obviously he was fine just now, he can also be sure that Qian Yi did not join the Ling family, if he did, why would he let Ling Tian sit on the bench.

But why did this guy's attitude take a big turn as soon as Ling Xiao appeared? Of course, he would not miss Qian Yi's expression of surprise and then ecstasy when Ling Xiao came in. There must be something wrong with it, and he would not believe Qian Yi The old fox Yina was overwhelmed by Ling Xiao's arrogance.

"You old guy, you don't care when you see your nephew." Although Zheng Xiong secretly hated him, he couldn't see it on his face. He followed Qian Yi and walked over, bringing Zheng Jinjin and Xia Qiu along Xiong came over.

"I don't see you these days, I think my nephew is getting more and more promising. I heard that my family got into trouble in the army a few days ago. He is reckless. Don't worry about my nephew." Nodding his nose, he said that Ling Xiao was meddling in his own business.

Ling Xiao smiled very warmly, "Uncle Zheng, you are too polite. It is easy to talk about other things based on the friendship between our two families, but this military important place can't be too childish. Fortunately, I met me. You have to send him to the Military Law Department." The Military Law Department is a place that deals with violations of the military law after the end of the world, and is known for its brutality.

The smile on Zheng Xiong's face froze on his face, he didn't expect that Ling Xiao wouldn't even give him face.

"Ling Xiao, what do you mean? What time do you think it is now? You really take yourself seriously!" Zheng Jinjin was furious, this Ling Xiao really took himself as a dish, he hates this kind of inability to see clearly Form people.

Qi Mufeng narrowed his eyes, and dared to call Xuan Lingxiao in front of him, he was courting death!

In an instant, the air seemed to condense into a solid body, like a heavy weight falling from a tripod, making people breathless. Ordinary people have already bent down, squatted or sat on the ground, and only some supernatural beings can support it.And Zheng Xiong, Zheng Jinjin and others were the first to bear the brunt. Zheng Jinjin staggered and fell to the ground. Zheng Xiong felt a pain in his chest and leaned back.

"It's not good for Mr. Qi to sweep the master's face like this." Xia Qiu stretched out his hand to support Zheng Xiong, frowned slightly, and looked at Qi Mufeng with disapproval in his eyes. It is too reckless to offend the powerful for Ling Xiao.

While Xia Qiu was speaking, Qi Mufeng's coercion suddenly dissipated invisible, and everyone took a deep breath at the same time.

Qi Mufeng looked at Xia Qiu displeased, his murderous intent suddenly surged, and a black scimitar with a slight bend in his right hand appeared out of thin air, with constantly jumping black flames wrapping around it.

Xia Qiu opened his mouth to speak, but Qi Mufeng didn't give him a chance. The corner of his mouth curled up in a cruel arc, and he directly slashed at Xia Qiu with the scimitar. The knife was fierce and murderous.

Although Xia Qiu dodged in a hurry, it was still not as fast as Qi Mufeng's knife. The right arm was swept by the tail of the knife, and the skin was split open and blood flowed instantly.

"Ah!" Xia Qiu let out a scream, and it was too late to cast the spell. His left hand was like lightning, and he quickly tapped a few acupoints on his right shoulder. With the inner power in his left palm, he actually tore his right arm off and was torn off. The right arm that was still on the ground turned into ashes in an instant. If it was a little longer at night, Xia Qiu's half of his body might not be able to survive.

"The reaction was good." Qi Mufeng did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the attack, but put away Hei Yan's negative hand and stood beside Ling Xiao, watching Xia Qiu tear off his arm with his own hands.

Xia Qiu was sweating in pain, and when he heard what Qi Mufeng said, his eyes widened, "You and I have no grievances, you are so vicious." The person he liked for ten years turned out to be the one who personally hurt him and caused his arm to be broken. how so.

All the actions of Qi Mufeng and Xia Qiu took place between lightning and flint, and everyone was so scared that they were speechless. Now that they heard the two talking, Fang came to his senses. Zheng Xiong was even more angry, pointing at Qi Mufeng and said ruthlessly, "It's so vicious!" Staying in the capital is bound to be dangerous, and for the sake of the people in the city, I have no choice but to get rid of you!" After speaking, he made a crossed fist gesture with both hands towards the surroundings.

"Uncle Zheng still doesn't forget the common people at this time, I really admire Ling Xiao." Ling Xiao moved forward slightly at this time, blocking Qi Mufeng behind him, looked at Zheng Xiong and said with a smile, "I've heard about Uncle Zheng's abilities for a long time. There are countless people, but today I am fortunate to see it.”

Ling Xiao's tone inexplicably frightened Zheng Chengjin, and he couldn't help but think of the supernatural beings that Ling Xiao had lightly described as a fire a few days ago, and hurriedly shouted to the surroundings, "Go back, don't come out."

Although Zheng Jinjin was Zheng Xiong's only son, it was obvious that these supernatural beings didn't listen to this heir. Zheng Xiong's supernatural beings rushed out collectively towards Ling Xiao in an instant.

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, unexpectedly he still had time to smile at Qian Yi and said, "I didn't expect to see an unreasonable person as soon as I entered the door. If there is any offence, you should bear it."

Qian Yi smiled wryly, nodded again and again, indicating that there is no problem, and also expressed that Ling Xiao and his partner are welcome to stay here at any time.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao withdrew his gaze, and looked at the person who was rushing towards him like an ant, stamping his right foot on the ground fiercely, a red scimitar came out of its sheath, and quickly hovered over Ling Xiao's head, neighing happily.

Ling Xiao's right middle finger and index finger were juxtaposed, and he waved towards the surrounding supernatural beings.

With a buzzing sound, the scimitar quickly slashed towards what Ling Xiao was pointing at, and the place it passed turned into coke, with amazing power.

There were endless screams in the hall, and all the supernatural beings who rushed towards Ling Xiao fell to the ground, covered in flames, and turned into ashes after a few thumps.

"Stop!" Zheng Xiong saw that his direct descendant died before he could block the opponent's move, and he became anxious, pointing at Ling Xiao's nose and shouting loudly, "If you don't stop, be careful, I will slaughter you all over the house!"

"Slaughter me all over the house? You deserve it!" Ling Xiao originally planned to kill a few of Zheng Xiong's loyalists. After all, there are very few people with supernatural powers now, and they are all indispensable combat power for the country. Impossible, but hearing Zheng Xiong's outrageous words at this moment, he felt annoyed in his heart, and directly swung his knife at Zheng Xiong.
