Li Wanru successfully subverted the conspiracy of Sivedore and took control of Tang City. Out of consideration of government affairs, Li Wanru did not exterminate all the officials in Tangcheng, but only dismissed more than a dozen officials from various ministries from their homes, confiscated the property of other officials, and still served, and at the same time promoted some people from the low-level officials.

There is one thing that Li Wanru is not very kind, all the confiscated family property was included in the treasury of Tang City by her, and it was not returned to those merchants who were squeezed. Fortunately, these merchants are not unable to survive, as long as Li Wanru no longer oppresses them like Sivedo, they are already content.

The treasure of the kingdom was salvaged, and there were twenty large chests, which were worth a lot of money. However, this thing uses black technology, or witchcraft, and only the blood of the royal descendants can be opened, and it must be willingly opened by the royal descendants. Li Wanru has no ownership of this wealth, just like the wealth of other conquered kingdoms belongs to the White Lion Kingdom, so Li Wanru didn't care and asked Jin Xiang to send someone to escort him to the royal capital. When he arrived in the royal capital, this witchcraft was really not enough to see, and it was forcibly broken not long after. Because of this incident, the king also specially rewarded Li Wanru and exempted Tang Cheng from paying tribute for two years.

Tang Cheng got back on track, and Li Wanru began to practice what she had learned, but she soon found that most of the things did not need her to take care of at all, and the officials under her were far more efficient than her to point fingers, and the most she learned was to identify whether the officials had done anything wrong and provide general ideas.

At the same time, Li Wanru began to work on the construction of the city guard. According to the laws of the White Lion Kingdom, Li Wanru had the right to form a private army of no more than 2,000 people in her fiefdom as a city guard. Siweituo did not recruit the full establishment before, and Li Wanru also knew that many people in the city guard were related to Xiweituo, so she simply re-recruited troops, separated the original city guard from the new army, and slowly dismissed the old city guard in the future to create an army that was only loyal to her.

Luo Han stayed in Tangcheng for a month, and when he saw that Li Wanru had adapted to his new life, he returned to the Eastern Capital alone. This month, he has gained some gains and realizations, and he needs time to digest them.

Two months later, the nightmare that had disappeared for several years returned to the Eastern Capital, and now he is already a powerful trialist who can skillfully burst out of the second order, although melee combat is a weakness, but as long as a stable second-order powerhouse identity, it is enough to make many people jealous.

Another few months passed, and the Eastern Capital ushered in the New Year. Originally, the customs of the New Year here were very different from those in China, but under the influence of Luo Han, they were basically the same.

On the night of the thirtieth night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone gathered in Luo Han's manor, talking and laughing. Servants busily shuttled and brought food to the huge rotating round tables in the courtyard, and the various drinks were neatly arranged in the wine crates next to them, chilled with ice cubes, and colorful neon lights were decorated on the flowers and trees, reflecting the courtyard beautifully.

The servants of the manor, after serving the last course, obeyed the order and stayed away from the courtyard. After they left, dozens of talismans flew everywhere, forming a magic circle, isolating sound and image.

In the courtyard, apart from the trialists, are their servants and pets. Even Zheng Guanyin's mother and daughter, who had a good relationship with Luo Han, were sent to Tangcheng by Luo Han in advance to reunite with Li Wanru.

"Today is the fifteenth year since we came to this world, so I would like to give you a drink." Luo Han stood up and said loudly, raising his glass and drinking it all.

After everyone put down their cups, Luo Han said, "The day before yesterday, I went to Wuzhi Mountain. Sun Wukong has been suppressed there again, which means that we will still face the first few opponents in the future. ”

Qin Hu was surprised: "They failed?" ”

Luo Han shook his head: "I don't know how to say it." According to Sun Wukong, they did attack the Nantianmen after a brutal fight, but they also stopped there, when those people stepped on the Nantianmen, they suddenly disappeared, resulting in a great chaos in the Huaguoshan coalition army, and they were killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals to scatter and flee, and finally Rulai reappeared and suppressed Sun Wukong. ”

Meng Fei said nonchalantly: "Disappearing means that their mission has been completed." ”

Luo Han said: "It should be, but it's ...... It is said that they lost a fifth of their men in battle. Most of them were killed by Erlang God and Nezha. ”

"Hiss~" Everyone gasped, of course what Luo Han said would not be referring to the Huaguo Mountain Alliance, but to those trialists. The mortality rate of one-fifth is not counting the trialists who have died or lost their qualifications for various reasons over the years, and the passing rate of this level is a bit scary.

Luo Han continued: "Don't worry, the Huaguoshan camp was the losing side in the first battle, plus some subsequent behaviors caused serious losses in group combat power, and it was not surprising that there was a group task, and the difficulty was distributed to each team, and the mortality rate was high." We are all in small teams, as long as we plan well, there will be no problems. ”

Luo Han's words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and Qi Tao smiled: "With the captain here, what is there to worry about?" Don't forget, we're the best squad. ”

Everyone laughed together.

Luo Han made a gesture of pressing his hand and said: "Be careful to sail the Ten Thousand Year Boat, this time I called everyone back to inform you that I plan to organize a small group, send one person from each of the teams we are familiar with, and observe the situation of Tang Seng and a few apprentices all the way, so that we can be prepared when we reach our territory." Considering the large time span, I plan to rotate every six months, and you can see when you are free. ”

Qin Hu said: "This team shouldn't just observe Tang Seng and his apprentices, right?" ”

Luo Han nodded: "It won't take so long to collect intelligence, mainly because I am afraid that some people will harm others and themselves." Once something happens to Tang Seng, even if it can be remedied by other tasks, our preparations for this mission will be wasted. I have reached a consensus with several captains on this matter, and the specific situation will be discussed in detail at the next event, but now we are just determining the first person and making arrangements for our own affairs during this time. ”

Qi Tao said: "I'll be the first one." ”

Luo Han nodded: "Okay, you go back and arrange your affairs." Another thing, our mission item this time is the fairy spirit stone in the Southern Wilderness, Huoyun went to the Southern Wilderness not long ago to take a look, saying that the Southern Wilderness has a lot of miasma, and even he is a little afraid of the miasma in the powerful land, these days, everyone collects more treasures to restrain the miasma, and they can be used when the time comes. ”

"Understood."

Luo Han paused and said, "That's probably it, let's eat." ”

"Wait, Captain, I have one thing." Nightmare suddenly raised his hand and said.

Luo Han said: "You say." ”

"That's right, when I was traveling in a desert last year, I rescued a youkai, and I didn't care about it at the time. But the other day he came to me and asked me for help. ”

Luo Han was puzzled: "That should be a mission, you can go when you are free." If the timing is not suitable, I will allow you to leave the team for a while. ”

"The task is not in a hurry, mainly because I feel that I am not sure about a person, and I want to invite the captain or Brother Long to go with me, the more people, the better."

"Oh? What mission to hear? "Luo Han was very surprised, with the strength of the Nightmare Breakthrough, he would have this kind of concern, presumably this task is not simple.

"That monster was born in the Western Shengyuan Mountain, and it is said to be a royal lineage there. The story is old-fashioned, even if a group of Western demons occupy Shengyuan Mountain, drive them out, and beg me to help him retake the mountain. However, there are many people on the other side, and I am worried that I will not be able to do it alone. ”

Luo Han pondered and asked, "What benefits?" ”

Nightmare is not surprised, there is not enough benefit, why did Luo Han send a large number of people to help? However, what he said made everyone show strange expressions.

"She is willing to pledge to be my servant. I know it's my own business, and I'll find a way to make it up to everyone. ”

Luo Han coughed to relieve his embarrassment and said, "It turned out to be her, a beautiful goblin, and it was worth it as a servant." She should be in the Eastern Capital, you ask her to come to see me, tell me the specific situation, if it can be solved in a short time, we can go after the New Year. ”

Nightmare saw everyone's expressions like this, and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, I'm not greedy for beauty, but because her abilities are useful to me. ”

Meng Fei Wei smiled: "Of course, men need it, understand." ”

Nightmare smiled wryly, "It's really not like that. She is the princess of the Phantom Centaur clan, and she has powerful hypnotic abilities to fight with my abilities. ”

Qin Hu teased: "Centaurs? You've got a lot of flavors. ”

Nightmare shrugged, knowing that the group of teammates were not serious, and it seemed useless to explain.

Luo Han was still serious and said, "You bring her to dinner together, and I will ask what the situation is before I make a decision." Since you can take a fancy to her ability, it means that she does have some ability, and a race that dares to claim the king is expelled and may even be wiped out, and the opponent should not be simple. Well...... By the way, take a look at your aesthetic. ”

Nightmare ignored the last sentence and said, "Okay, I'll go and bring her to the captain." Hold on. ”

The nightmare left the courtyard and quickly melted into the night, vanishing. Ten minutes later, he returned with a blonde girl. Everyone looked at this girl up and down, although she was blonde, her facial features were soft, and she felt like a two-dimensional girl, not very Westernized. As for the figure, it is also an anime style, which should be big and small.

Luo Han squinted at the nightmare: "It turns out that you have this kind of preference." Childlike ......"

Xiao Yumeng coughed and interrupted Luo Han's words. Luo Han laughed and said, "Nightmare, don't you want to introduce me?" ”

"This is Lucia, these are my companions, Captain Hanfeng, Vice Captain Crazy Dragon......" Nightmare said everyone's names one by one, and Lucia also politely bowed her head and said hello one by one. The captain wants to know what happened and the strength of the enemy, and you tell the truth. ”

Lucia nodded and said, "The place where I used to live is a great place in the West—"

Luo Han waved his hand: "There is no need to add these modifiers, just get to the point, such as where Shengyuan Mountain is, the distribution of surrounding forces, the general course of the battle, and so on." ”

Lucia thought for a while and said, "Shengyuan Mountain is about 30,000 miles away from here, and all the people who live are demonic beasts like us. Our Phantom Pupil Centaur clan is the most powerful race in the local area, and has always occupied the dominant position in Shengyuan Mountain. In addition to the Phantom Pupil Centaur Clan, there is also the Four-Winged Demon Eagle Clan, which can be regarded as the bird overlord of Shengyuan Mountain. In addition, there are still a small number of demon dragons living in Shengyuan Mountain, there are only five of them that we know, but they are few in number, and they are acting alone, so they are not a big threat to our Phantom Pupil Centaur clan. Fifty years ago, an oriental dragon suddenly descended on Shengyuan Mountain, known as the Infinite Dragon Emperor, subdued the five demon dragons, and then created a large number of demonic beasts with the blood of the demon dragon. We were defeated, the strong of the clan fell, the clansmen were enslaved, and I escaped under the desperate protection of the guards, and I don't know what happened next. ”

Luo Han touched his chin and said, "Oriental Dragon? Interesting. How's the strength? Compare it to Nightmares. ”

Lucia thought for a moment and said, "I've never seen the Infinite Dragon Emperor use all his strength, I think Lord Nightmare should be able to defeat him." ”

Nightmare's strength is not superficial, and the performance of fighting alone should be limited, based on which Luo Han deduced that the strength of the Infinite Dragon Emperor is also average, after all, the Dragon King of the Four Seas is similar to the captains of several strong teams, but it is strong in endurance.

"Okay, Nightmare and I will accompany you back for a trip to help you kill the Infinite Dragon Emperor."

Lucia said respectfully, "Thank you, sir." ”

Luo Han said: "You're welcome, you will all be your own people in the future, sit down and eat together." ”

"Hmm."

"Nightmare, bring someone a chair."

After a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, everyone was arranged to rest in the guest rooms of the manor. When the servants of the manor came to clean up the dishes, they found that the amount of food enough for hundreds of people had been swept away, and they couldn't help but wonder what kind of friends their masters had made.

In the next few days, everyone gathered together to play in the Eastern Capital every day and enjoy the lively atmosphere of the New Year. After the seventh day of the first month, everyone went back to prepare, and Luo Han Nightmare followed Lucia on the way to Shengyuan Mountain.

Luo Han has no shadow, it is not a problem to travel thousands of miles in an instant, but the side effects of high-speed flight are very large, in addition to physical discomfort, the main thing is the consumption of energy, especially with other people, the consumption increases by geometric multiples. At the point where Luo Han is here, the consumption is too serious, and it is not easy to recover. Therefore, they only occasionally used the Shadowless Sword to rush to the road, and it took them two days to come to a human city near Shengyuan Mountain.

This place is called Ebony City, and it is named because of the characteristic ebony produced by Shengyuan Mountain. The humans who live here have a distinctly Europa appearance, giving the impression that they have arrived in medieval Europe. Although this place does not belong to Europe on the big map. In addition, there are armored warriors and magicians with fluttering robes that can be seen everywhere, most of these people survive by hunting demonic beasts, and they know the situation of Shengyuan Mountain very well.
