Chapter 887: Drunken Immortal Tower
Chapter 887: Drunken Immortal Tower
Looking for Xue Yin is to calculate the future fortune, looking for Ruan Ming is naturally for the personal affairs of his children, recently because of private affairs, Lin Xuanzhong has deliberately avoided Ruan Ming for a long time. Now that his mind has settled, Lin Xuanzhong wants to communicate and communicate more with the other party in order to enhance his relationship. Regardless of whether the two can be together in the end, Lin Xuanzhong only hopes that he will not regret it now. Of course, in terms of practice, Lin Xuanzhong was still as active as before, and when he stayed with Ruan Ming, Lin Xuanzhong simply taught Ruan Ming the Eight Desolation Steps.
After separating from Ruan Ming, when practicing alone, Lin Xuanzhong tried his best to find the feeling when he walked out of the six steps and eight wildernesses before, but he never had a clue. When he couldn't enter that state after practicing for a long time, Lin Xuanzhong could only calm down first, and no longer rushed to pursue the realm of six steps and eight wildernesses.
Time passed quickly, and three days later, when the two armies marched to the position of Xingcheng, the 200,000 troops sent by the Soviet State withdrew directly from the Valley Country because they were afraid of the momentum of the coalition forces. Although the Gu Emperor and those ministers were very dissatisfied with the actions of the Soviet commander, they were helpless, and finally could only withdraw from the Gu country with the remnants of the army and the Soviet army. On the way to evacuate the valley country, they also wantonly scraped the cities along the road, and the places they robbed were full of complaints. The Gu Emperor's actions made him lose the hearts of the people directly in those places, and it seems that he does not plan to return to the Gu Country in the future.
The news of the withdrawal of the Valley Emperor and the Soviet army surprised Lin Xuanzhong a little, but Lin Xuanzhong didn't want to worry about the things they did, because two days ago, Lin Xuanzhong received a notice from Zhao Xu, and Zhao Xu ordered him to directly lead 100,000 troops to Ziyun Country to participate in Lan Ce's enthronement ceremony after capturing Gu Kingdom.
After two days of consideration, Lin Xuanzhong planned to wait for Lan Ce's enthronement ceremony to end before resigning as his chief general.
During this period, I have to wait to meet Qingyi again. Speaking of which, since joining the army, the time spent with Qingyi is not as good as the time with Ni Youbin and Fang Qing, but the biggest impact on Lin Xuanzhong is Qingyi. If Qing Yi agreed to leave the army with Lin Xuanzhong, Lin Xuanzhong would definitely not hesitate to let go of his identity as the main general, but the current situation is that Lin Xuanzhong does not know Qing Yi's thoughts.
As soon as the Gu Emperor left, the only thing left was to occupy the Gu Kingdom, when Bai Shuilian negotiated with the commander of the Lei Army, the affairs of the Gu Kingdom did not need Lin Xuanzhong to care about anymore, Lin Xuanzhong only needed to take 100,000 troops to the Ziyun Kingdom to ensure the smooth progress of the ceremony.
Lan Ce's enthronement ceremony was a grand event, and some people from several countries gathered together, and the scene was imaginable, but Lin Xuanzhong's ceremony was not interested. After selecting 100,000 soldiers from the army, Lin Xuanzhong rushed directly to Ziyun Country with an army. Calculating the time, they would arrive in the Purple Cloud Country before the Night Emperor, so Lin Xuanzhong was not in a hurry to rush to the Purple Cloud Country. Speaking of which, this may be the easiest march Lin Xuanzhong has ever had, not only for a relaxed time, but also not for war.
Half of the 100,000 soldiers are the new army, and the other half are the elite of the night army, including a total of personnel from the five countries, and the composition is very complicated, but the military spirit is neat, and everyone is willing to follow the only leading leader, Lin Xuanzhong. It is worth mentioning that Zhang Jiutian did not go with Lin Xuanzhong this time, but stayed to train the new army according to Lin Xuanzhong's instructions, and Lin Xuanzhong was accompanied by Yang Shifeng and others, as well as some generals of the new army.
The march of the 100,000 army was very slow, walking and training at the same time. During the march, Lin Xuanzhong had already ordered people to redivide the army, and a department that an army should have needed to have. The military affairs department, the intelligence department, the ordnance department, and the logistics department are involved in the handling of military information, personnel management, material storage, and daily work and rest of the army.
Lin Xuanzhong's plan for the army is for the better development of the army in the future, but Lin Xuanzhong's idea comes from the military books he has read before, and there is no practical experience to find, and it is not clear who will lead this army in the future, after all, Lin Xuanzhong is only a general and not a commander. In any case, the march was indeed comfortable, and occasionally he could hunt some fierce beasts to try them, and there was no hunger when he was there in Yangguo, and the soldiers below were in good condition.
Perhaps it was precisely because the situation in the army was very good and time passed quickly, eight days later, the 100,000 army entered the territory of Ziyun Country smoothly.
The area of the Purple Cloud Country is a little larger than that of the Night Country, and the customs and customs are good, and when passing through those cities located on the border, Lin Xuanzhong has always been warmly received by those local high-level officials.
The matter of the Five Nations Alliance has spread throughout the Purple Cloud Country, and Lin Xuanzhong's prestige has also been transmitted to the Purple Cloud Country, of course, there is no reason why those city lords should not receive Lin Xuanzhong well. When Lin Xuanzhong thought that he would go all the way unimpeded, to his surprise, when he was two hundred miles away from the imperial capital Blue City, an order came from above, telling him to garrison the troops on the spot and not need to bring the army to the imperial city.
A holy order came, no matter what the reason, Lin Xuanzhong could only act according to his orders. After the army was stationed that day, the personnel in the army talked a lot, and finally came to the conclusion that because of the large number of troops in the army, it might be unfavorable to the Night Emperor, so Lin Xuanzhong and many generals fell into deep thought. This seemingly understandable order is not a kind of rejection, and it also makes Lin Xuanzhong have the suspicion of being disadvantaged, so they all want to fight for Lin Xuanzhong, but Lin Xuanzhong is no longer in the mood to think about this.
After asking the generals below to appease the military situation, Lin Xuanzhong gathered the generals together and properly arranged the affairs of the garrison, which took a lot of time. By the time Lin Xuanzhong had arranged the affairs of the army, the generals below had already understood that Lin Xuanzhong would take this opportunity to train the new army and run in the soldiers.
After the previous competition, those new troops were already very convinced of Lin Xuanzhong's ability, and now that Emperor Gu abandoned the country and fled, Gu Guo no longer existed, they no longer had to bear the infamy of treason, and it was also their luck to be able to meet a general like Lin Xuanzhong who was sympathetic to his soldiers.
After all the big and small affairs were arranged, Lin Xuanzhong selected the entourage according to Lan Ce's instructions. There were too many generals traveling with him this time, and it was troublesome to pick a few suitable personnel, and after some hard work, Lin Xuanzhong picked out six people.
Among the younger ones are Chang Siyuan, Qin Chong, and Long Mu, and among the older ones are Zhou Wenfeng, as well as Liu Yuxi, a direct general of the Night Army, and Dong Shaozhen, the chief general of the former Gu Army, who is the general surnamed Dong who made the most remarks during the Gu Army Council that day.
The reason why Zhou Wenfeng was allowed to accompany was because Lin Xuanzhong felt that Zhou Wenfeng was meticulous, even if he couldn't do anything well, he would definitely not make a mistake, and he brought Chang Siyuan to let Chang Siyuan give full play to his ability and provide Lin Xuanzhong with some key information in time, as for the other four people, they were simply entourage, and nominally escorting Lin Xuanzhong was actually supporting Lin Xuanzhong. Speaking of which, it would still go against Lan Ce's wishes to bring these people, but Lin Xuanzhong really had no better choice.
In order to facilitate the trip, all seven people changed into casual clothes and set off directly. The speed was not fast, the original trip of less than one day took two days, and a lot of time was spent along the way, and from the places they passed, the Purple Cloud Country was richer than the countries that Lin Xuanzhong had visited, and the city was very prosperous in the past.
After arriving in Blue City, under Chang Siyuan's inquiry, the seven of them found a large restaurant, which is said to be a place for people participating in the celebration, and there are many similar locations throughout the city. Looking up, the three words of Drunken Immortal Building jumped in front of him.
"What a magnificent name," Qin Chong looked at the signboard with a look of amazement, and then looked at the luxuriously decorated carriages parked at the entrance of the restaurant.
When they entered the city just now, they found that there were gorgeously dressed pedestrians everywhere, all of whom had outstanding temperaments. After walking inside, because their clothes were too ordinary, Qin Chong still felt that something was not natural, and now the Drunken Immortal Building in front of them didn't look like the place they should be coming at all. However, they were all high-level martial cultivators, so Qin Chong was not afraid that the people inside would dare to bombard them out.
With Qin Chong's exclamation, Lin Xuanzhong also had a lot of surprise in his eyes. The restaurant in front of him is five stories high, which can be regarded as the largest restaurant Lin Xuanzhong has ever seen, and it is unusual everywhere.
After their horses were taken away by some people from the restaurant, Lin Xuanzhong led a few people inside, and what appeared in front of them was a spacious hall. There was no table in the middle of the hall, and there were several red curtains hanging down on them, and the red curtains should have the names of some dishes written on them. Because he couldn't understand what the dishes were, Lin Xuanzhong looked down again, there were several tables on the left and right sides of the hall, maybe a few people came too early, and there were no guests eating.
The first time he came to such a magnificent restaurant, Lin Xuanzhong couldn't help but look around curiously, but except for Lin Xuanzhong and Qin Chong, everyone else looked like they were used to it, and no one was surprised.
"A few guest officers, our Zuixian Mansion will only accept the people who participated in the enthronement ceremony for the time being, if a few of you just come to our store, please also ask a few to move to other restaurants," when Lin Xuanzhong was amazed by the magnificence of the restaurant, a dignified woman greeted him.
"We are the ones who participated in the ceremony, let your shopkeeper come out to receive you," Chang Siyuan replied, the other party's seemingly polite but disgusted tone made Chang Siyuan very unhappy, thinking that the other party could not underestimate Lin Xuanzhong's identity, Chang Siyuan directly expressed that dissatisfaction.
"It's really inconvenient for our store to receive a few people for the time being, and I ask a few people not to stay," the other party seemed to have not heard what Chang Siyuan was saying, with an expression of trying his best to control his emotions, and he didn't mean to receive a few people at all. And the reason why this woman behaved like this was that not only were the seven people dressed ordinary, but Lin Xuanzhong, who was standing at the front after entering the hall, was still looking around, looking like he had never seen the world, and the most important thing was that the style of several people was very different from the guests they had received recently, and they didn't even have a carriage.
