Chapter 25, Go to the battlefield
Liuyun is a person entering the city, and there are still many pedestrians on the road, either alone or in groups. At the gate of the city wall of Lanqin City, a large number of armored soldiers were holding the gate.
They stood straight one by one, and their fierce eyes kept sweeping at the pedestrians entering and leaving the city gate.
Almost all small caravans entering the city were blocked by these soldiers and forcibly searched. Although many people are dissatisfied with their rude behavior, it is now during the war, and many people choose to swallow their anger.
Occasionally, a few children of a famous family, or important people, enter the city directly by showing tokens. However, Liuyun didn't want to attract attention, so he followed the flow of people into the city and drifted with the tide.
"Fight, what do you do?"
At this moment, a heavily armored captain-like sergeant came over. Originally, the sergeant did not notice Liuyun, but he was very inadvertently. He found that he could not see through Liuyun's cultivation.
He has reached the junior level of martial arts, managing dozens of soldiers under his command and responsible for the defense of the city gate. Now it's the war, and this man is strong in martial arts and strength. It doesn't look like a son of a family. It's suspicious to mix in the crowd and enter the city.
Liu Yun stopped, took out an ingot of silver from his arms, and said quietly, "Let me go, I don't want to get into trouble. This is the first time I have come to Lanqin City to inquire about something.
Hearing this, the officer not only did not receive the silver, but shouted, "Come on, this man is suspicious!"
"Hmm?" Liu Yun was a little surprised: "This man is also a responsible officer."
Looking at the token of "Lan Ruo" in the storage ring, Liu Yun sighed secretly. Originally, I planned to inquire about the news alone in Lanqin City and see if "Min Huazong" was in danger. Unexpectedly, in the end, I still need to use this token.
took out the token, and Liu Yun handed it directly to the sergeant to reveal his identity.
Watching Liu Yun hand over a token, the sergeant took it doubtfully, first stunned, and then shocked. Then he knelt down on one knee and said, "Da damn it, I shouldn't offend you."
Liuyun is also a little surprised. It seems that Lan Ruo is not simple. He has some status in Lan Qincheng. Maybe you can ask her for some information. So without procrastinating, he directly took the token and walked towards the city.
Entering Lanqin City, the noise was endless, shouting everywhere, and shouting filled the streets, bustling and bustling with traffic. There are all kinds of wooden buildings on both sides of the street, such as shops, restaurants, inns, pharmacies, etc.
The flow of people is surging, shoulder-to-shoulder, and the voices are boiling. It is a bustling city scene.
Liuyun soon found a residence of Lan's Chamber of Commerce and lit up the token. The steward at the station was also the same as the sergeant defending the city. First, he was stunned, then shocked, and then hurried in to inform.
Liuyun also became strange: "Is there something wrong with me? Or is that token too powerful?
Not long after, the stewer came over with a white-haired old man in black. The old man first looked at Liuyun for a while, and then asked strangely, "Your Excellency, I don't know what to call it?"
"My name is Liu Yun." Without thinking much, Liu Yun said cheerfully, looking at the old man in black who only had the middle-level strength of the martial arts. And when he first came out of the world, he was not worried about enemies coming to him. Of course, he was straightforward.
"My subordinate's name is Lan Qing, and now he is a guard under Miss Lan Ruo." The old man in black robe smiled and said to Liu Yun, "Miss has learned that the adult has arrived. Please follow me now."
Liu Yun nodded and followed Lan Qing out. On the street, Liu Yun was very strange about the token. He couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Miss Lan's token?" Why are all those who see the token so surprised?
Lan Qing listened to Liu Yun's words, and the strange look on his face suddenly dissipated. He shook his head and said, "Miss Lan is the daughter of our family head, and she is extremely talented. At the age of 18, she is already a junior master of Wu Zun and is very hopeful to become the next head of the family. And that token has never been used by Miss. I saw the adult take out the token today. I thought you were the lady's favorite person. It seems that my old man is too worried!"
"So it is." Liu Yun nodded, but sighed in his heart, "Lan Ruo is 18 years old, the first rank of Wu Zun? If they knew that I had reached the middle level of Wu Zun, I don't know what kind of expression it would be?
When he arrived at the huge mansion of the Lan family, he wrote two dragons and phoenix dances, golden framed gold characters. The prestige of a famous family and the style of a giant are undoubtedly shown.
"Lanfu."
Looking at the two golden big characters, they were magnificent and everyone's demeanor. Liu Yun slowly walked into Lanfu. Lan Qing took Liu Yun to a living room in another courtyard after a while.
"Ryuyun, I didn't expect you to come." A crisp voice came from his ear, and Lan Ruo was walking quickly. Wearing a blue dress, he looks very beautiful and refined. A long green silk, casually draped on his shoulders, his hair is as thin as silk, soft and beautiful.
"Lan Ruo, long time no see!" Liu Yun responded with a smile.
Listening to Liu Yun's words, Lan Ruo felt the same way, but then she was surprised; "It's been a year that I haven't seen you, and I still can't see through your cultivation."
"Ha ha, this is normal." Liu Yun smiled and said, "A year ago, we were both martial arts masters. My cultivation is slightly higher than yours. Now, I'm still just a little higher than you."
"Hum!" Hearing Liu Yun's words, Lan Ruo was a little disgrieked and said, "You are really a monster. After reaching Wu Zun, every step of promotion is as difficult as the sky. I didn't expect that you are already the middle level of Wu Zun now.
Liu Yun laughed and was quite useful. That's also true. Wu Zun master, that's not a big cabbage. It's casual* on the street, and there are a lot of them everywhere.
"Say, what can I do for you? You don't want to ask me for anything personal, do you? Lan Ruo stared at Liu Yun and stared straight at him, as if she really hoped that Liu Yun would have a personal matter with her.
Being stared at by Lan Ruo, Liu Yun waved his hand and said, "I really have something to do. I want to inquire about the news about Min Huazong. Your Lan Chamber of Commerce covers the sky in the Youlan Dynasty. You should know some news.
Hearing the words, Lan Ruo frowned slightly, and Min Huazong was the first sect of the Youlan Dynasty. Although the Lan Chamber of Commerce was a well-known and leading chamber of commerce in the Youlan Dynasty, there was no parallel between the Chamber of Commerce and the sect.
After a little meditation, Lan Ruo asked, "Do you have a friend or an enemy in Min Huazong?"
"Of course it's a friend." Liu Yun answered directly.
"Oh, it's nothing." After thinking for a while, Lan Ruo said lightly, "Min Huazong has been very low-key this year. It is said that the suzerain of Min Huazong has been practicing in isolation. The sect's affairs are handled by some deacons and elders. If you want to talk about big things, there is no big deal.
"But now during the war, our Youlan Dynasty has been captured by a county. Yuyang County is also in danger. I'm afraid it's almost to reach Yuyang City now. If nothing unexpected happens, Min Huazong should send some masters below Wujun to participate in the war.
Lan Ruozai carefully told the general situation of Min Huazong and told Liu Yun truthfully.
"Participation in the war?"
Hearing this, Liu Yun's eyes flashed and asked, "Lan Ruo, during the war, a large chamber of commerce played an important role. Your Lan's Chamber of Commerce should have some tasks responsible for transporting war materials, right?"
"Well, there is indeed. A batch of materials will be shipped to the battlefield tomorrow." Lan Ruo asked, "Do you want to ask about the war? This is a good opportunity to make contributions.
"How about you put me in the team of the Chamber of Commerce?" Liu Yun has made a plan. Now that Yang Liumeng has returned to Min Huazong, her master's poison injury should have been treated. The top priority is not a sectarian matter, but a war between the Burning Dynasty and the Youlan Dynasty.
It is also no wonder that the people of the burning dynasty's "Tianyemen" secretly poisoned the Emperor Wu of Minhuazong. First, the master on the side was destroyed, and when he hit the imperial capital, no master came forward to suppress it.
In this way, the burning dynasty can directly destroy the whole Youlan Dynasty, and it does not violate the regulations of ordinary soldiers fighting between countries, and it is not allowed to send masters above martial arts.
This plan is not poisonous. It is simply sinister and cunning, harbouring evil intentions, and extremely vicious.
"This Tianye Gate is really easy to calculate. Fortunately, the object they chose to poison was not Yang Liumeng." Liu Yun sighed in his heart, clenched his fist in the palm of his hand, and had already moved the mind of Tianyemen.
If there is a chance, he doesn't mind eliminating this sect. But now he is not strong enough and needs to plan something. And the current situation is not important, but war.
The era of chaos is also the time for the heroes to compete for hegemony and win the world. In this war machine, who can plan strategies and make decisions for thousands of miles, then will die and dominate the Shenwu mainland.
The combination of soldiers and wars is also the fastest way to improve strength.
If Liu Yun wants to help Yang Liumeng, he must find a way to let the Youlan Dynasty win this war. And his goal is to select those masters at the level of martial arts to fight. And in Liuyun's view, only fighting is the best and the fastest way to improve strength.
"Ryuyun?" Lan Ruo looked at Liu Yun without saying anything, as if she was thinking about something, so she asked softly, "What's wrong with you? Are you thinking about something? If necessary, I can help.
"Well, no, I just thought of something." Liu Yun smiled indifferently and came to his senses: "I have decided to participate in this war between the two countries. And my camp is on the side of your Youlan Dynasty.
"Then I'll go with you." Lan Ruo pretended to say inadvertently.
"Are you going too? You are a businessman, which doesn't seem to be of any practical benefit to you. What your Chamber of Commerce should do is to deliver materials, hoard food, etc., and even make a fortune. Liu Yun couldn't help wondering when he heard that Lan Ruo was going.
"Aren't you the same? Are you just for the name? For profit? I remember that you are from the Qianlong Dynasty. To help us in the Youlan Dynasty, as a people of Youlan, do I have to sit back and wait for death? Lan Ruo asked back.
"Okay, it's up to you." Liu Yun was asked hard to answer. After all, he couldn't tell Lan Ruo. He participated in the war to help Yang Liumeng, and he also took action secretly.
I'm afraid that even if he says it, no one will believe it. But in his heart, he has begun to plan. He is already in control of this war.
Liu Yun thought so, but Lan Ruo had another idea: "After disappearing for a year, this time I can't let you run away."
