Chapter 27: Disappointment

"I can't hold on to the Ancient Dragon City, so I'm going to talk to someone from the Empire."

Liao Ming looked at the demon soldiers who had been encamped outside the city, and felt a wave of irritability in his heart, and now it was as if a fish bone was stuck in his throat.

Swallowing, does not go down. Take it, you can't take it out, it's uncomfortable to get stuck like this.

In the next whole day, Liao Ming continued to arrange some important matters, and left one bottle of each of the little red bottle and the little blue bottle on his body, and took them out and handed them to Jack, in case there was any accident and he didn't come back.

"Uncle Chen, the house will be handed over to you, if you have anything you need, look for Lin Tian."

Chen Bo looked at Liao Ming and secretly sighed that Liao Ming's growth speed was so fast, he really didn't expect it.

"Don't worry, we'll take care of it."

Uncle Chen suddenly walked into Liao Ming's side and whispered, "Family master, if you can't find reinforcements, you don't want to come back, it's good to stay in Crystal City." ”

Liao Ming didn't expect Uncle Chen to say such words in the end, looking at the serious expression on Uncle Chen's face, a smile appeared on his face.

No one knows why Liao Ming is so decisive, only he knows that decisiveness is just a deterrent to make up for his inability to manage his subordinates.

He doesn't know how to read people's hearts, so just let everyone be afraid.

"Don't worry, the empire will definitely help us, I have a trump card!"

Liao Ming said, and took out the pass in his arms, this thing was found by him a long time ago, but he has never had a chance to use it, but now it is just right.

After Liao Ming left the mansion, he found Lin Tian again, after all, at this critical time, he was the pillar of the ancient dragon city, if he couldn't find it by then, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After Liao Ming and Lin Tian confirmed, they rushed towards Crystal City without stopping.

This time, Liao Ming rode just an ordinary horse, and even died of exhaustion halfway, but fortunately, two days and two nights later, he arrived in Crystal City in the early morning of the third day.

The land outside of Crystal City is black, either because of anything else, or because Crystal City itself has charred the fertile land.

It's just because it's easy to set fire to the ground, and they haven't considered growing food on their own in Crystal City anyway!

"Stop, hand over a gold coin in the process!"

The guards guarding the city gate stopped Liao Ming and asked for the entrance fee, but Liao Ming didn't care too much, and went into the city directly.

Seeing Liao Ming so happy, the guard said in a good mood: "Hey, be careful after entering, especially don't get close to the city wall at night, otherwise you will be injured by mistake." ”

Their Crystal City had already received news a few days ago that someone had colluded with the people on the demon side, and secretly opened the door at night to let the demon come in.

However, the Crystal City side also restricts the fact that you can't get close to the city gate at night, and there is nothing else to do.

Liao Mingleng paused, but immediately reacted and said, "Got it, thank you." ”

Liao Ming didn't waste any time, and went directly to the City Lord's Mansion to find Ye Xuan, the city lord of Crystal City.

After Ye Xuan heard what Liao Ming said, his fists clenched and loosened, and finally turned into a sigh.

"Alas, some things are not as simple as they seem, I have a total of 40,000 soldiers in Crystal City, 30,000 soldiers guard Crystal City, 10,000 soldiers are replaced, and there is no extra manpower to send out!"

Ye Xuan actually didn't say anything, the 10,000 soldiers he replaced in Crystal City were not only replaced, but also had the heavy responsibility of monitoring the Zi family, which could never be mobilized.

"And what about me using this?" Liao Ming took out the pass order.

Ye Xuan looked at the pass in Liao Ming's hand, and said with a shocked face: "Is this this?" ”

Liao Ming nodded, "This is the pass, I'll use this in exchange for your troops to support!" ”

Ye Xuan really didn't expect Liao Ming to have a pass order, and after pondering for a while, he said: "I have no way to make the decision, give me two days, and I will tell General Yeheng." ”

"Okay, then I'll come back in two days, and I hope to have a good answer by then."

After Liao Ming left the City Lord's Mansion, he was not in the mood to visit Crystal City, so he directly found an inn and rested for a day.

Early the next morning, Liao Ming directly found the Tianji Pavilion and checked the price of the demon crystals inside.

"Ten gold coins of first-order demon crystals, fifty gold coins of second-order demon crystals, one hundred gold coins of third-order demon crystals, and five hundred gold coins of fourth-order demon crystals, in the eyes of high-level people, ordinary people can't see them."

Liao Ming moved his gaze to the stairs on both sides of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, which led to the second floor, and the things on it were at least one quality better than the things on the first floor.

Liao Ming continued to pay attention to the booklet in front of him, and when he saw the page of medicine, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"One hundred gold coins per bottle of the next grade healing medicine or void power recovery potion, sure enough, any healing medicine is so popular!"

The healing medicine and the void recovery potion are divided into three levels: lower, middle and upper, and each time the level is raised, the price has to be doubled several times, and Liao Ming wants to sell all the potions in his hand.

But in the next second, he dispelled this idea, because he couldn't supply it himself.

"Gotta find a way to make that money!"

Liao Ming walked out of Tianji Pavilion, stood on the street and watched the flow of people coming and going, there was no way at all.

In the end, Liao Ming reluctantly returned to the inn, hoping that Ye Xuan would be able to bring him good news tomorrow.

Liao Ming came to the City Lord's Mansion early in the morning, but unfortunately it ushered in bad news.

Ye Xuan looked at Liao Ming guiltily and said, "I've disappointed you, General Ye won't let me send troops out." ”

"Didn't you tell the Night Admiral about the token?" Liao Ming asked eagerly.

"Alas, I said it, but there is no way, the current situation of the empire cannot risk the possibility of war with the demons to send troops out to support you."

Ye Xuan tried to explain: "The emperor is sick, the eldest prince guarding the south has rushed back to the national capital, and the demon clan in the south knows that after the eldest prince leaves, they are already ready to move. If we start a station with the demons on our side, then we will be attacked from both sides, and the current empire will not be able to bear it. ”

Liao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Is it just like watching the cities in the autonomous region being slaughtered by the people of the demon clan?" ”

Ye Xuan's eyes were red, he didn't want to lead troops out of the city to drive out those demon bastards, but he was a soldier!

He has his duty, he has his mission, and after entering the legion, he can't do whatever he wants.

"Although I can't send troops to you, if you need anything, just ask, I will help you if I can."

This was the only thing Ye Xuan could help.

Liao Ming lowered his head and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, glanced at the token in his hand, and finally said to Ye Xuan: "That's the case, I can use the token to exchange for supplies!" ”
