As soon as Chinese New Year's Eve passed, early in the morning of the first day of the new year, when the people of Puhe County were still having breakfast, Gu Youlan and his group of hundreds of people had already left the city gate.

Join the 300 soldiers waiting outside the county and head towards the mercenary city.

On the way, Zhou Jie reported to Gu Youlan a series of measures since the recovery of Mercenary City.

Although those measures were all implemented according to Gu Youlan's plan before, the Dragon Palace had already paid off.

But after hearing Zhou Jie's report with her own ears, Gu Youlan still felt very happy.

Seeing the smile on Gu Youlan's face, Zhou Jie also felt a sense of honor, and also greatly felt the glory of being recognized by the upper peak as a subordinate.

Due to the fact that the Punishment Heaven Sect chased and killed two months ago, the way to Mercenary City this time was very smooth.

Along the way, except for meeting some relatives, or pedestrians and carriages going to Duanmu Beijing, it couldn't be smoother.

No stalkers were found.

In this way, five days later, the group finally arrived at Mercenary City.

Mercenary City, worthy of occupying the Qixia Continent, is the best geographical location in the middle of the upper and lower sections.

In addition to bordering the territory of Qiyue State to the north and the Xia Yang Kingdom to the south, the east and west sides are bordered by the sea.

Unless you sail from the Seven Brakes Sea, if you take the land route, Mercenary City is the place you must pass.

Therefore, the four countries adjacent to the Qisha Sea, Baili, Duanmu, Chunyu and Taishu, are still relatively complete in the construction of their navies.

After the army of the Seven Kingdoms carried out a strategy of seriously ill and suppressed the territory of Chun Yuguo, Chun Yu Kingdom was divided by the Seven Kingdoms.

According to the terms of the previous agreement of the Seven-Power Alliance, in the end, after negotiation, the thirty-seven cities of Chunyu Kingdom were exchanged for the Governor's Mansion of the Five Continents of the Inland Sea that had been exchanged to the Baili Kingdom.

The remaining thirty-two were divided among the seven kingdoms according to the number of troops they sent.

Not surprisingly, the Baili Kingdom got the most, because the Baili Kingdom sent a million troops and got seven cities in the inland sea.

Qi Yue, Shen Tu and Tai Shu Guo got the least, but there were also three cities.

Of the other three kingdoms, the Xia Yang Kingdom received six, and the Duanmu Kingdom and the Gongxi Kingdom each received five seats.

However, Gu Youlan's purpose in this battle is not to have the city of Chun Yuguo, but to have the main control of the mercenary city.

Therefore, after consulting with His Majesty today, Gu Youlan waved his hand and gave six of the seven cities to the other six countries.

Thus gaining control of Mercenary City.

Subsequently, the 1 million army of Baili led by Yan, of which 500,000 were brought back to Baili by another deputy general, Li Kuan.

The remaining 300,000 were handed over to the deputy general Yan Zhuo to garrison the five cities in the north of Chunyu Kingdom.

There are also 200,000, led by Zhou Jie, and stationed in Mercenary City.

Before Zhou Jie occupied the mercenary city, the original mercenary city was the city lord elected by the five mercenary leaders to manage the city.

The walls of the castle were not very strong, and they were basically built of ordinary gray stones.

Later, after Zhou Jie's soldiers came, under Gu Youlan's suggestion, the city wall was torn down, and all of them were replaced with black iron ore for casting.

The height alone is ten meters, and no matter how good a person is, he will not easily fly into it.

Thus, from a great distance, it is possible to see the black walls, which are not only tall but also spectacular, and the main thing is very strong.

In order to prevent the fall of the city, there are many grooves and tracks above the city wall, and only the insiders involved in the construction and management of the city will know what those grooves and tracks are used for.

Five days later, the group finally arrived outside the gate of Mercenary City before sunset.

Before entering the city, I saw a large number of people gathered outside the city gate.

Looking at the costumes of these people, it can be seen that most of them are people from the rivers and lakes, of course, there are spies from major sects and secret guards sent by the royal families and the Wang clan of various countries.

Gu Youlan didn't have to guess to know that these people must have come to find out the news of the portal.

Sure enough, after the soldier who went to inquire about the news came back, Gu Youlan knew.

"These people are really well-informed, but aren't they a little too anxious?"

At this time, Gu Youlan, who was sitting in the carriage and drinking tea with Yan and Bai Ze, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled meaninglessly.

Yan squinted at her dotingly, "Girl, you still talk about them, aren't you all doing it?" ”

"What about me?" Gu Youlan was a little unhappy, "Who am I doing this for?" ”

"Yes, yes, you're not for yourself, you're all for the Dan Medical Sect!" Yan, helplessly agreed.

"Of course, I'm such a high-spirited person, how could I do it for myself?"

Gu Youlan looked out the car window, and those who inquired were in a very happy mood, and they were even more determined to build the portal quickly.

Bai Ze drank tea silently all the time, silently, he knew that as long as Yan was there, he would not be able to speak.

So I had to pretend to be a background wall and remain silent.

However, Bihe is different, since she knew that Gu Youlan's third life was a demon queen, she was always worried about her princess in her heart.

But more than that, she is happy for her own princess, because she believes that the heavens will descend on the princess, and she will suffer the princess's heart and work on the princess's body.

As long as the princess is promoted to the god level, everything she worries about will be in vain, and it will not matter.

"Princess, are you really going to build a portal in Mercenary City?" Bihe asked while adding tea to Yan and Gu Youlan.

After that, he also looked out of the car window from time to time.

Since Yan came back and Bai Ze was there, Gu Youlan changed into the luxurious carriage that he had built in Duanmu Country before, and the horses that pulled the carriage were also replaced by four fire dragon horses.

In the eyes of outsiders, the person who can own this carriage is not a royal family of a country, but also the suzerain of the sect.

Therefore, for a luxurious carriage, the windows must also be wide and open.

Gu Youlan just glanced at it, and knew who Bihe's eyes were looking for, so she blinked her big smart eyes and cast a very ambiguous gaze at Bihe.

That means telling Bihe, I know what you're thinking at the moment, it's really a big girl.

Bihe was looked at by the eyes of her own princess, and she put down the teapot shyly, twisted the veil, and didn't care about the portal.

Gu Youlan accepted it when she saw it, she didn't want to embarrass Bihe because of this, after all, in this carriage, there were Yan and Bai Ze, the two divine beasts.

"Bihe, others don't know, don't you know? Your princess has always done what she says! "When I say build a portal, I will build a portal.

What's more, even if I can't build a portal, Yan will.

After that, he looked at Yan who was staring at her intently.

Yan seemed to be immersed in Gu Youlan's agility, with a pair of deep purple eyes, looking at her without blinking.

In that depth, there are thoughts, doting, and deep love.

Now, it was Gu Youlan's turn to make a big red face, and she suddenly felt like she had moved a stone and hit her feet.

Yan's eyes, too direct? Thanks to the old lady's concentration, otherwise, would she be like Bihe, squatting aside and twisting the veil?

Gu Youlan coughed lightly, not only to get rid of the embarrassment in front of her, but also to remind Yan to pay attention to the occasion.

However, Yan, as if he hadn't heard it, still looked at Gu Youlan directly, as if he couldn't see enough no matter how he looked.

Gu Youlan felt very discouraged, so she didn't pay attention to it, simply took out a book and read it by herself.

The carriage traveled all the way, escorted by three hundred soldiers, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is very large and luxurious, and it is not difficult to see that the previous City Lord is very good at enjoying it, and it is also more able to confirm that the business of the Mercenary City is very good.

Not to mention the daily income, it can also be self-sufficient.

Before Gu Youlan got out of the carriage, she heard a large group of people kneeling on one knee in front of the city lord's mansion.

"Subordinates see the emperor, the emperor Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"See the National Teacher, Lord Hail!"

After Bihe helped Gu Youlan get out of the carriage, she saw this scene.

"No courtesy, flat!" Gu Youlan followed the rules of the royal family of Baili Kingdom, and with a wave of her hand, she exempted everyone.

No matter who these people in front of them are, or what they have in mind, since people treat each other politely, as the emperor of Baili Country, it is not good for her to just come, and she will give others a dismount, right?

So, everyone greeted each other one by one, introduced themselves one by one, and when Gu Youlan finished introducing everyone, the sun also went down.

The current mercenary city is still managed by the previous city lord, and at this point, Gu Youlan still adopted Zhou Jie's suggestion.

After all, after Gu Youlan leaves, this mercenary city still needs to have a city lord.

Moreover, the original city lord has made good achievements in managing the mercenary city, and the people of the mercenary city also love him.

Gu Youlan would not dismiss people for no reason just because she occupied the mercenary city.

So, that night, at the instigation of many officials, the city lord held a reception dinner for Gu Youlan and Yan and others.

Of course, in addition to the local officials, large and small, who can be called, there are also the heads of major families, the elders of the sects, and the royal family members of various countries who came from other places.

The banquet hall, which is not small, was filled with all the seats after the arrival of these people.

Gu Youlan and Yan sat at the top respectively, and looked down, oh, I'll go, there are really a lot of people.

Thinking with her heels, Gu Youlan knew what the purpose of these people was here.

Just like the battle I saw at the city gate before, these people are undoubtedly here for the portal.

Not to mention, this idea was put in Gu Youlan's words again!

Like the goddess pet husband: Master, you have to be obedient, please collect: () Goddess pet husband: Master, you have to be good, it's hot, and the update speed is the fastest.
