Chapter 53: Changes in the Border
The two returned to the City Lord's Mansion side by side, which was the new City Lord's Mansion that had recently been completed, and Jialan proclaimed herself the City Lord. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"General Jialan~ I've been working hard lately. The person who came spoke very politely, Jialan looked at the other party, there were three people in total, and the one who spoke was a middle-aged man, followed by two young people, both wearing armor, they should be soldiers.
"Serving the Empire, how dare you speak hard. Jialan said and sat down on the main seat, "I don't know what news the three of you brought to me?"
"Oh, I just wanted to ask about the barbarians. β
"Well, it's strange to say, it's winter, and there are no barbarians, and I sent a large number of scouts, but they are nowhere to be seen. Jialan frowned, "This is too strange~"
"Hehe, it can't be General Jialan who hid them, right?"
"Ahh Jialan said in a panic, "Where did this start?"
"Really, not?"
"Naturally. Jialan replied firmly, and so did her eyes.
"Well, okay. The middle-aged man stared at Jialan for a long time, and finally couldn't see anything wrong with Jialan, "I still have a task to convey to General Jialan this time." β
"My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it. β
"The Three Princes want you to take the initiative to attack and exterminate the barbarians, and then search for thousands of miles, if you see the ghost clan, you will be killed. β
"It's okay for me to take orders, but where can I go to find the barbarians?" Jialan looked sad, "How many generals have been stationed here, but they haven't found the barbarians, where can I go to find them?"
"Then how did General Jialan find the cult?" the middle-aged man asked.
"That's not what I found, it was General Chen Danzhu who found it. Jialan replied.
"Then why did you have barbarians in your war?"
"Barbarians and cults also have hatred, but I don't know why they appeared, but I killed all the barbarians who appeared. Jialan replied.
"Well, that's right~" the middle-aged man said.
"Oh, have you investigated?" said Jialan, a little displeased.
"Hehe~" The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly.
"What's your attitude?" asked a young man.
"He's only a fifth-grade lieutenant, you're not even a grade, what is your place to talk here?" Jia Lan said coldly, "Come on, show them the influence of this machine beast." β
"Yes~" A soldier took out a camera beast from the corner, and then showed the three of them the picture just now.
"How?" asked Jialan.
"What do you mean?"
"Facing the second-grade general in public, you are so bold, come, drag it down, cut it!" Jialan shouted, and the soldiers below rushed up, dragged the young man down, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he directly cut off his head with a knife.
"You!" The middle-aged man pointed at Jialan, but he couldn't say anything, according to the laws of the empire, a person with no rank will be convicted if he accuses someone with grade, let alone a second-grade military general like Jialan.
"What did I do wrong?" asked Jialan.
"No, no. β
"Then what exactly is my mission?" Jialan walked up to the other party and looked at the other party coldly.
"No, no missionγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"I don't embarrass you, let's go. After speaking, Jialan turned and walked to the back of the hall, "Don't let me see you again in Ember City." β
Jialan returned to her residence, and Xuanyuan Ruohua also came over, "Big brother, why did you kill that person?"
"Xiaohua, do you know who they are?" Jialan asked without answering.
"I don't know. β
"They are from the Si family, I have seen their waist cards, and they are just here to cheat us, their purpose is just a barbarian. Jialan replied for Xuanyuan Ruohua, "Hmph, if we don't kill anyone, they will keep bothering us." β
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Rest assured, they didn't identify themselves, and besides, I was walking according to the law, and they couldn't say anything. β
"Well, too. Xuanyuan Ruohua nodded and said, "Besides, our brothers don't have any background, and they are not afraid of them." β
"Okay, you also go to cultivate, your own strength is the most important, as long as you are strong enoughγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Jialan didn't say the rest of the words, Xuanyuan Ruohua naturally understood that as long as he was strong enough, he would override the imperial power, and even the imperial power would make way for the strong.
After another month, Ember City is still prosperous, not at all like in the past, and in winter, the people are nested at home and rarely go out.
"Xiaoshuang, I'm going to the Roufu Republic of China, you can take care of this Ember City, is it feasible?" asked Jialan.
"This year, it's fine, and next year I don't know. Huangfu Wushuang said.
"Okay, I'll be back before the New Year's Day. β
The purpose of Jialan's trip is precisely the Hundred Refining Tower, and the effect of the Hundred Refining Pagoda can greatly improve his talent, which can be used to improve the "Spiritual Wisdom True Law".
During these days, although the Si family was killed by Jialan, there was no way, after all, it was the Si family's fault, and the matter would be settled; however, in the imperial capital, there was constant friction between the princes, resulting in mutual losses from the forces behind them; and Jialan's side of the pass has become a happy land, but this paradise has become a place for these forces to compete at the moment; Cold Ember City has produced a large number of minerals for more than a year, and it is rumored that there are spiritual veins in this area, and there is more than one.
All the forces are eyeing Ember City, intending to take it into their pockets, but Jialan's existence makes it more difficult for them to start: if they use the means of co-optation, some of the gains outweigh the losses, because Jialan's background is too little, and it is not worth their effort;
These forces who are in trouble don't know, Jialan still has some background, if you know exactly Jialan's background, I think the prince will also sweep the bed to greet him.
The matter of the spiritual vein cannot be delayed, and the four princes and the forces behind them reached a tacit agreement this time - to promote Jialan and transfer him to the imperial capital. As for what position it is, it doesn't matter, it's just some positions with no real power, and it is likely that there is only a grade, and there is no position at all.
After the New Year's Festival, Jialan returned to Ember City.
"Brother, why did you come back~" Huangfu Wushuang said.
"What's wrong?" Jialan knew something was wrong when she heard it.
"You're going to be transferred, and it's not a good place to go. Xuanyuan Ruohua said with a serious expression.
"Where are you going?" asked Jialan.
"Imperial Capital!" Xuanyuan Ruohua replied, "I contacted my family, it was the eldest prince and the fourth prince who took a fancy to us, saying that we have three spiritual veins and a large number of minerals, so we want to occupy here." β
"Oh, it seems that I'm in the way~" Jialan took the letter from Huangfu's hands, "Hey~ I have reserved the pro-army, but the other military rights have to be given up, and this is the hand again~"
"My brother, why aren't you worried?" Xuanyuan Ruohua said helplessly, "This is to cut your military power!"
"Hehe, it doesn't matter, I'm worried that I can't go to the imperial capital, isn't it to cut my military power? Hmph, Xiaoshuang, draft a letter, just say that it is a waste to raise so many pro-troops in the imperial capital, I only keep 2,000 pro-soldiers in the name of the general, and the rest are dismissed. β
"What, brother, are you crazy?"
"Don't worry, the blood guards have all returned to Yuanzhaoguo, you can select two thousand elite soldiers in the team. Jialan smiled and said, "After such a toss, the blood guard of the capital of Yuanzhao will become my own private army." β
"Well, I'll go. Huangfu Wushuang walked away quickly.
"Xiaohua, you call the others over. β
Soon, Jiang Xiran's brothers and sisters and Li Xiang all came to Jialan.
"You all know, I'm leaving. Jialan said with a smile.
"General, this is the second time, we have experience, I will arrange for a deputy to take my placeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Jiang Xiran said, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Jialan.
"No, you can't go with me this time, I plan to let your brothers and sisters stay here, I've worked hard to get the barbarian and cult things done, but I don't want to give up like that. Jialan said in a deep voice, "Will you listen to me and stay here?"
"Does the general want to continue to control this place?" Jiang Xiying asked.
"Yes, everything here was created by us, how can it be so simple for others!" Jialan's eyes became ruthless, "We are working hard, they want to pick up ready-made, how can there be such a good thing!"
"But how does it work?"
"Don't worry, I'll contact some friends and hand over this place to you, are you willing to stay?" Jialan had already thought about it, and asked Zhongrong Guo to come forward, saying that this team was familiar with this place and wanted them to stay here for five years. I believe that in the next five years, Jialan will have a certain status, and at that time, who will belong to this Ember City will be another matter.
"Let them stay with their brother and sister, I'm sure I'm going to go with you. Xuanyuan Ruohua said.
"Isn't it good for you to stay and be a general? β
"A general, what's there to be, it's boring. Xuanyuan Ruohua said with a smile, "There may be a lot of interesting things on your side." β
"Okay, what about you?" Jialan looked at Jiang Xiran and the others.
"We are willing to stay, but the general has the ability, why not γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?" Jiang Xiying asked.
"Why don't you stay by yourself, because I'm going to the imperial capital, and only by going to the imperial capital can I accomplish my goal. Jialan said.
"Okay, then the two of us will guard this place for the general. Jiang Xiran said firmly.
"Okay, Lixiang, you stay and help them for two years, and then go to the imperial capital to find me, and then I will arrange other things for you. β
"Yes. β
Things were all arranged, Jialan took Huangfu Wushuang, Xuanyuan Ruohua and two thousand personal soldiers to the imperial capital; as for Jiang Xiran's stay, Zhongrongguo quickly got it done.
