?

Tianlan didn't rest for a minute. Hurried overnight, and came to Yunlong City at noon the next day, which is also a town relatively close to the battlefield, but because it is a long distance from the national border, the terrain is dangerous, and there is no 'wave' in the perennial 'engagement' war, so it is not built as a fortress, just a very ordinary town, and the city wall is not high.

The purpose of Yunlong City is mainly the temporary residence of the supporting army, as well as the location of a large number of grain and grass, from this point of view, Yunlong City is still very important, it is one of the hubs of the front line and the rear!

Hundreds of miles away from Yunlong City, Tianlan noticed that there were many temporary camps of the army in the surrounding fields. In terms of the size of the camp, the garrison of this small city is about forty or fifty thousand, and there are ravines everywhere, and there are not many flat lands, so the range for camping is not large, and 50,000 soldiers is a lot in terms of the scale of Yunlong City.

After a less strict inspection, Tianlan entered Cloud Dragon City. At this time, he had already changed into a clean white coat, freshened up, made the necessary treatment and cover up the external injuries on his body, and found a white 'colored' cloak to put on, so that he looked nothing special.

A month has passed since he left Qiyang Shaying Pass, and there must have been many changes in the current situation, and he must know what the situation is now.

The most direct way to find out the information is, of course, from the commander of the garrison here, he doesn't know who the general who is guarding here, he has written down the names and information of almost all the generals in Qinglong, but most of them have never met before, even if he can recognize the other party, the other party may not recognize him.

For this, it is not advisable to think too much, or it is better to see the move. He calmly walked to the City Lord's Mansion, and there was no doubt that according to custom, the City Lord's Mansion would be requisitioned by the military during the war, and it would become a place for the general to temporarily reside for meetings. The commander of the garrison he is looking for lives here.

He walked to the 'gate' of the city lord's mansion, and the two soldiers shouted: "What kind of person! This is an important place for the military, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Tianlan took off the cloak and hood on his head, 'revealed' his youthful appearance, and said, "Which general is in command of the defenders here?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, and there was an irresistible feeling in his tone, which made them inexplicably have the illusion of looking up. Obviously, the person in front of him is still a young man, why is his speech so different? Could it be that he is an important figure in the military?

They didn't dare to be sure of Tianlan's identity, and said politely, "It's Lord Ling." ”

"Lord Ling?" Tianlan frowned and thought about it, in his impression, there seemed to be no general surnamed Ling, but there was one in the Ling family who was subordinate to the civil officials, although it was not considered to be a power leaning towards the government and the opposition, but the official position was not small, but this was impossible, how could a well-mannered scholar come to this 'chaotic' and 'chaotic' battlefield...... Could this Lord Ling be the newly appointed military attaché?

"Your Lord Ling is in the mansion now?"

"Yes. "There's nothing to hide about this, the people of the entire Cloud Dragon City know it, and it's still the custom of Qinglong.

Tianlan was also not polite, and said, "I want to see him." ”

......The two soldiers were a little embarrassed, and the identity of the other party was unknown, so how could they say that they would see the general? Moreover, the general was not so idle, and there were many military affairs to deal with.

Tianlan knew the concerns of the two soldiers, and after a moment of silence, he took out a bronze 'colored' token from the storage ring, threw it to one of the soldiers, and said, "Show this to Lord Ling, and then let him decide not to see me." ”

The soldier held the bronze 'color' token and saw that one side was engraved with a green dragon, and the other side was engraved with a large word "heaven". Although the soldier didn't know what the word "heaven" meant, he had seen a similar token, which was a symbol of the nobility of the green dragon! And only a few extremely noble families had this kind of bronze 'color' token!

He didn't dare to slack off, and walked in quickly to pass the word. After a while, he came back, respectfully returned the token to Tianlan, and invited Tianlan to come in to meet Lord Ling.

This token is the exclusive identity of the people of their Tianlingsha family, after the bloody purge within the family, the only people who can now have this "Tian" token are Tianlan and Tianchen, not even their father Tianbo. Of course, outsiders don't know the various origins of this, but as long as people with some insight know that this is the proof of the Tianlingsha family, as long as they can be sure of his identity.

He walked through the inner court to the lobby, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.

"Senior Ling?" he cried out in confusion. That's right, the person in front of him wearing battle armor was none other than the wind warlock Ling Jiutian he knew! Ling Jiutian changed his usual gorgeous clothes and brocade to a powerful battle armor, looking like a different person.

Ling Jiutian laughed and said, "I knew it was you, just in time, I didn't have time to thank you for the last time." ”

Tianlan said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The seniors are serious. Why are you here, and ......?"

"What's new about this. Ling Jiutian said with a smile and waved his hand to drop the soldiers around him, "After the fall of the prime minister, all the important ministers competed to show themselves, and there was just such an opportunity, so the major families all sent proud sons and planned to make contributions on the battlefield." Our Ling family is naturally no exception!"

Tianlan nodded and said, "It turns out that you are from the Ling family, I should have thought of it a long time ago." "He had heard that the Ling family had a second-generation heir who was 'sexually' uninhibited and uninhibited, which was deviant in the words of the aristocratic circle, so Tianlan knew very little about this person's situation, and he didn't want this person to be Ling Jiutian. Although the Ling family is a civil official, it does not mean that the descendants of the Ling family are all scholars who are unrestrained by the power of the 'chicken', if they are talented, the people of the Ling family will definitely let their descendants practice martial arts or spells first.

Ling Jiutian said with a smile: "The first time I heard your name, I was guessing whether you would be from Tianling Sha, and it was really good! Speaking of which, although you and I have not yet entered the court as officials, we are also half a robe, and it is really lucky to be able to meet in other places." ”

He remembered the experience of more than half a year ago, and said with emotion: "I promised Xiao Taoer to accompany you to the East China Sea that day, but I still had no choice but to miss the appointment, and I still care a lot." You didn't have an accident in the East China Sea, did you?"

Speaking of the past, Tianlan's eyes were a little complicated, and he said lightly: "There are some twists and turns, but there is finally no danger." What about you and Senior Li?"

Ling Jiutian sighed and said, "Zhiyong, he is still stubborn...... Alas, this matter is urgent, and now I should put aside my 'private' matters for the time being, and deal with this attack of Qiyang wholeheartedly. Hehe, what's the matter with coming to me today?"

"Don't hide it from my predecessors, I want to know the current battle situation. "This is the only purpose for which Tianlan is here.

"What, didn't you come with the marshal?" Speaking of business, Ling Jiutian also became serious. The marshal he was referring to was Tianlan's brother Tianchen, and he thought that Tianlan must have come to the border with Tianchen.

Tianlan shook his head and said, "No, I haven't met my brother yet." Before, in the East China Sea, something happened, so it took a lot of time. ”

Ling Jiutian nodded in understanding, and suddenly frowned, only then did he realize that Tianlan's qi was very bad, and he stepped forward and said, "What's the matter?"

He was quite surprised, and then 'revealed' a trace of 'color': "Who hurt you?"

“...... It's fine, a little bit of a bruise. Tianlan replied blandly, obviously not wanting to say more on this issue.

He said this, Ling Jiutian was not easy to continue to ask, and said, "Then so be it." I still have business to attend to. You go and rest first, and I'll call you over when the latest information arrives. ”

"Hmm......" Tianlan agreed, he knew that Ling Jiutian didn't fail to tell him immediately, but wanted him to rest for a while, indeed, he hadn't closed his eyes in the past few days, and the exhaustion in his body could no longer be completely concealed. Although he didn't care, this was Ling Jiutian's kindness, and it was the master's family, so he couldn't shirk it.

He was placed in a side room near the lobby, which was already prepared with all the utensils, and was intended for hospitality and did not need to be furnished.

Closing the 'door' alone, Tianlan felt tired, leaning against the 'door' of the room, barely able to take a step. He can barely hold on in front of people, but when he is alone, he can't hide it. His injuries were not light, and he had not been seriously treated in the past few days, and he had been traveling overnight, running 'waves' and tired, and he was already overwhelmed.

He staggered and moved two steps, but felt that his 'legs' were weak, held on to the corner of the table, covered his mouth, and coughed in a low voice. When I opened my palm, I saw that there were blood stains in my palms.

Fluffy couldn't stand it, and flew out and shouted, "Lan, don't torture yourself like this, okay?"

Tianlan didn't speak, took out a white handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and palm, sat quietly on the 'bed', closed his eyes and began to meditate. Furry was helpless, sighed quietly, and could only stay by the side to accompany him.

About two hours later, Ling Jiutian sent someone to call him over. It was about the same time as Tianlan had estimated, and the two hours had made him recover a little, not refreshed, but at least he didn't look so haggard.

He came to the study and saw that there were three people in battle armor besides Ling Jiutian inside. Ling Jiutian was born as a warlock, so even if he was wearing battle armor, he chose light armor, and the other three were all wearing thick heavy armor without exception, and there was a faint sense of might on his body.

Tianlan didn't know these three people, guessing that it was Ling Jiutian's right-hand man, he didn't dare to slack off, and bowed down and said, "Senior Ling." ”

Ling Jiutian was holding a battle report and meditating hard, and when he saw Tianlan coming, his face softened, and he said, "Well, sit down." ”

Tianlan took the initiative to sit in the last seat, according to his status, his status should not be low, but firstly, he did not have his own title, and secondly, he did not officially join the Qinglong army, so he was really not a military person.

Ling Jiutian slapped the battle report in his hand on the table and said, "The information that just arrived in my hands half an hour ago: the Qiyang army, under the leadership of Xuanyuan Zheng, has won successive battles, and now it has taken the loess pass, the outpost of our army. The marshal had already gone to the front half a month earlier and successfully stopped Xuanyuan from attacking. However, Xuanyuan was mainly conservative, fighting steadily and steadily, and did not rush forward, and our army could not reverse the tide of the war for a while. ”
