In the central and eastern part of the mainland, not far from the East China Sea, there is a famous desert in Liaojiang. Except for a few rare dying poplars, it is difficult to see green 'color' here, and it is mostly covered by large chunks of sand and rock. Once upon a time, it was a beautiful grassland, with green fields dotted with white lambs and the rich singing of nomads. However, when the Qinglong Empire and the Qiyang Empire were established, this wilderness became part of the border between the two countries, and the perennial war made it lose its original vitality and become a desert with few people.

Shaying Pass, a fortress distributed on this border, is also one of the main positions of the Qiyang Empire to resist the attack of the Qinglong Empire, far away from the national capital. However, this fortress was not the first front, but the second front, which was mainly used as a command and coordination, and it was also a rather prosperous trading city in peacetime, of course, this was a trade developed under the conditions of war. Further on, there is another pass: the Blood Sand Pass.

Now that the 'spring' day is approaching, almost every few years, the two countries have to take advantage of the 'spring' day to make a big fight, and this year is particularly serious, I don't know what mistakes have gone wrong at the top, which makes this year's war particularly 'fierce'.

In previous years, at this time, the nearby farmers were still preparing to work in the fields, but this year, they didn't care about so many of them, as if they were going to start a battle of life and death! Just a few days ago, the Qiyang Empire had launched the first 'wave' attack on the Qinglong Empire, and the situation was very good. However, it is conceivable that after the Qinglong Kingdom gets the information, the counterattack will definitely be more rapid!

When the sand camp pass was slaughtered, a few people came from the desert to the east. To the east is the territory of Qiyang, so the sand camp pass is not heavily guarded, but the soldiers guarding it are still very responsible, and they can see a few dusty people from a distance. Their figures slowly emerged in the yellow sand, all wearing gray cloaks, and their faces could not be seen clearly.

These people are the six of them, after they left from Ziyuan, they happened to be near the coastal desert, which is also a continental wonder, located in a position where the sea breeze cannot blow, dry and cold all year round, forming a desert, and the Liaojiang desert is connected in series, and continues to Shayingguan.

After walking in the desert for more than ten days, they finally saw the town. However, everyone didn't show much joy, firstly, after Ziyuan's half-year adventure, they all became mature, and secondly, they were too tired to walk in the desert for more than ten days, so tired that they didn't even have the mood to talk nonsense.

The soldier stopped them and said dutifully: "In front is the Shaying Pass, and now is the time when the two countries are 'fighting', if there is no important matter, it is best not to approach." ”

A man shrouded in a gray cloak said suspiciously, "Huh, are you fighting, can't we go in if we are fighting?" This voice was Ye Yi's voice.

The soldier said, "No. Shaying Pass is still some distance away from the battlefield of the 'engagement', and it will not be 'affected' by the flames of war for the time being. So even in times of war, there will be some merchants or mercenaries coming in and out. ”

"That's good. The last person stepped forward, took out a bronze seal, and said, "We are members of the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, returning from a mission." I remember that the Golden Lion Mercenary Regiment had a branch in Shayingguan. ”

Although the voice of the person on the other side was very young, when he saw the exclusive seal of the Golden Lion Mercenary Group, the soldier immediately 'revealed' a respectful look. After all, the Golden Lion Mercenary Regiment is a famous group, ranking among the three major corps in the mercenary world, and it occasionally needs their help in war. However, mercenary groups generally do not belong to any country, so they accept the task on their own volition, to see who bids higher, so that the policy of not offending the two is also tacitly approved by each country. It is precisely because of their unstable 'nature' that the state is reluctant to hire mercenaries unless necessary.

The six of them smoothly entered the sand camp pass, and the high walls on all sides stood to block most of the wind and sand, so that they could take off their cloaks and breathe. However, Tianlan still didn't take off his cloak, this is still the territory of Qiyang, he is a member of the Blue Dragon Empire, he always feels a little uneasy, and he doesn't want to show it too much in front of others.

Except for him, no one else has any scruples. Xiao Yue is a demon clan, and Tongying is a 'jing' clan, both of them are beyond the mortal, so they disdain to manage the 'chaos' of the human war. Tao'er has been used to drifting with the old man since she was a child, and she has no sense of national honor. Ye Yi has lived in Wangxing Valley since he was a child, and he has never seen anyone other than the bad old man of his adoptive father and master, and he has no sense of country, and he only feels new about the war.

Although it was a tense period of war and chaos, the residents of Shayingguan seemed to have adapted to it, and they should do whatever they wanted, as long as the war did not spread to the root of the wall, they should eat, sleep, and do business.

As soon as they entered the pass, they listened to the people talking about something with great interest, and after listening carefully, they knew that this time the war started, and Qiyang sent the Nine Princes Xuanyuan Zheng as the commander. Speaking of Xuanyuan Zheng, he is not only the younger brother of the current Emperor Qiyang, but also a wise and brave talent. Especially in the royal family, such a very popular prince was not killed by the emperor, if he was not a great mediocrity, he was a smart person with a deep city.

But the people are not talking about Xuanyuan Zheng, the prince, but his only baby 'daughter' - Xuanyuan Luoyu. Tianlan is from the Qinglong Empire, and he only knows a little about Qiyang's affairs, as far as he knows, this Xuanyuan Luo Yu is a big celebrity! Not because of her status as the county lord, but because of her beauty!

"'Jade' face ice heart, Luo Yu is in the city!" This is the words of the people of Qiyang to describe Xuanyuan Luo Yu. It is said that the men who have seen her are all impressed by her amazing 'glamorous' appearance, and they bow down under the pomegranate skirt and give the "first beauty of praying for the sun"!

Wherever this Luoyu County Lord appeared, there was a group of messengers who protected the 'flower'. And now the famous lord of Luoyu actually appeared in Shayingguan, and immediately became the focus of the people of Shayingguan, and even its focus overshadowed the impact of the war.

Ye Yi understood the general situation, and nodded secretly: "No wonder there is a war here, and it is still so lively! It turned out that the first beautiful 'girl' in Qiyang arrived." ”

Tao'er said vinegaringly: "What about the first beautiful 'girl'! It's just a 'flower' vase." At this time, it is not good to stay in her palace, and she runs to the border, and she is insane. ”

At this time, a person in front of him suddenly shouted: "Lord Luo Yu has appeared! Lord Luo Yu has appeared! I have seen it! It is on the second floor of the Yongan Inn!"

As soon as he said this, the crowd immediately began, and the street, which was originally not very crowded, suddenly came out of a large number of corners, and even some people ran out while putting on their clothes, and the whole street was crowded in a short time.

Ye Yi was dumbfounded: "Wow! Is this the legendary beautiful 'woman' effect? This first beautiful 'girl' is too strong, right...... Let's go and have a look?"

Tianlan and the others happened to be going to the inn, and with such a huge crowd, it was not so easy for them to turn even if they wanted to.

When they arrived at the downstairs of the inn, they found that the entire inn 'door' had been crowded, and the people outside were all looking up at the second floor of the inn with their necks tilted, hoping to see the figure of the lord of Luo Yu.

Tianlan hid in an inconspicuous position in the crowd, looked to the second floor with a little curiosity, and with his 'color' eyesight, he really saw a hazy figure, I don't know who it was. Xiao Yue, Tongying, and Tao'er all stayed in the corner of the crowd honestly, and they didn't go too far forward, and the good Tao'er seemed to be very wrong with the "first beauty" this time, and didn't join in the fun. Ye Yi and Nangong Kui didn't care so much, and squeezed in one by one.

Suddenly, the sound of ping-pong came from the second floor, like the sound of a fight, and there were a few faint scoldings, but they couldn't be heard clearly in the noisy crowd.

"Wow-"

In front of everyone's eyes, a high-octave scream sounded, and a rich boy with oily hair and powder face flew out of the window on the second floor, and coincidentally fell on the head of Ye Yi, who bowed his head and walked away!

Ye Yi thought of this sudden attack, and suddenly fell dizzy, and innocently became a 'meat' pad again. The onlookers suddenly hulala and pushed away three steps, only Nangong Kui was still righteous enough, pulled the person who flew out to the side, and woke Ye Yi up.

Ye Yi came back to his senses, he was not angry, how could he join in the fun, it would also cause trouble? I wanted to vent my hatred to the rich boy, but when I saw that the person was already a pair of panda eyes, with a blue nose and swollen face, I almost foamed at the mouth.

After such a show, a large area has been vacated at the 'door' of the inn, and a young 'girl' has come from inside. The 'woman' looked like a fairy in a long white gauze tunic skirt that reached to her ankles, a snow-white cape, and a gold 'color' decoration on her shoulders. However, her appearance was covered with a white gauze hat, and her snow-white neck could only be faintly seen, but this was enough for onlookers to have endless reverie.

Needless to say, this 'female' son is the famous Luo Yu County Lord! She is not alone, and she is accompanied by two 'female' sons, who seem to protect her, and her cultivation is not low.

Tianlan looked up slightly, and through the crowd he could see the three people. Lord Luoyu didn't feel anything when he didn't see his face, and he didn't feel any threat to him, and it was estimated that it was at the level of three or four stars. The two 'women' behind her are not to be underestimated, faintly emitting the unique aura of a strong man, he can be sure that these two people must be seven-star powerhouses!

Unexpectedly, a county lord went out of the 'door' and was accompanied by Qixing's bodyguards. You know, if you reach the seven stars, you can achieve the position of an elder in the Warlock Hall. Sure enough, Qi Yang's energy cannot be underestimated. Of course, these two 'women' are not warlocks, so even if they want to, they can't be the elders of the Warlock Hall, and the difficulty of cultivation for warlocks is much higher than that of martial artists.

Just as Tianlan was looking at them, these two seven-star 'female' powerhouses also sensed it and looked in his direction one after another. Tianlan didn't dare to look more, lowered his head, and pulled the cloak hood. Lord Luo Yu felt the vigilance of the two 'females' beside him, and also looked in that direction. But with so many people in that direction, how could she see Tianlan hidden in the crowd at a glance?

Just as she was about to leave, Ye Yi, who had suffered nothing, quit, stood up and pointed at the county lord of Luoyu and said, "Then you, you were the one who left people down just now, right? Why do you want to leave without even saying an apology?"
