Chapter 122: Entering Beijing (Part II)
Gong Luoluo said: "He Xiaoduo's step-sister, it is the internal affairs of the Tuhao Empire, and I, the high priest of the Tail Fire Country, am inconvenient to visit, so I will stay in the Lotus Fragrance Dock." ”
Yun Tianjia took the opportunity to say: "Then I will stay too." A few of you go. He was willing to stay, firstly, because he was a little lazy, and secondly, he faintly felt in his heart that living in Lotus Lotus Dock was a little closer to the Xianghe of Lingxintai.
Long Yuandong shook his head and said, "Anyone can stay, you can't stay." Only when you go with us, through the enemy-occupied area, will I have the confidence to encounter the Five Elements Sect. ”
Dugu Wen said: "Then I will stay, more than half of the soldiers of the Dragon Armor Army were recruited by me, and with me, forgive them for not daring to make a mistake." Besides, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, and Zhong Dinghe have all reached level eighty, and when they go to the capital, they may have a chance to find a suitable promotion soul beast. When the time comes, it will be good to surprise the county lord. ”
Long Yuandong repeatedly deliberated and determined that the main generals who would enter Beijing were: Long Yuandong, Yun Tianjia, He Dali, Xiong Zhuangzhuang, Zhong Dinghe, and the second-level generals included Xin Peng, Han Chao, Zhao Donghui, Gongsun Liang, Zhang Zhongyan and other 50 people, all of whom had a minimum cultivation of the fifth rank. They were either generals or unstable elements, and they took them with them, which not only gave them the opportunity to meet the county lord, but also made the lotus incense dock base not prone to riots.
The people left behind, mainly Dugu Wenjiao and Gong Luoluo, supplemented by Luo Erniang, Feng Asan and Li Siyun, Zhang Changjian, Zhang Changyu, and Han Yiliang of the Wind Brigade, Hong Liang, Yang Chun, and Shen Jian of the Giant Axe Brigade, Zhang Linyue, Yu Jiaming, Wu Zhen of the Heavy Shield Brigade, and the generals of the Spear Brigade and the Broadsword Brigade continued to train soldiers.
After Li Siyun of the Fuhuo Brigade recovered from his injuries, Yun Tianjia originally planned to let him return to the Immortal Tomb in Hanyuan County to sit in the town, but later because he saw that the withered leaf Zen master was doing a good job there, production, training, army expansion, intelligence, business and trade transit, and military-civilian relations, all of them were in good order, and the activities of the Five Elements Sect in the periphery were becoming more and more frequent, and the occupied area was getting bigger and bigger, almost blocking the way back, so Li Siyun was left in Lotus Xiangwu.
The Wind Brigade spy battalion has expanded from the original 20 intelligence lines to 200, and its activities are scattered throughout the entire territory of the Tuhao Empire, with more and more abundant means of communication and more and more secretive ways of doing things. Lin Zhiqi commanded all the intelligence lines, directly facing Gong Luoluo, and his whereabouts were erratic. In order to cooperate with Long Yuandong and others in the operation of entering Beijing, he specially mobilized a number of intelligence lines distributed in Huazhou and Huzhou, and strengthened the connection between the county lord, Long Yuandong, and Lotus Xiangwu to ensure that nothing went wrong.
The parting was imminent, Gong Luoluo said goodbye to Yun Tianjia, and advised: "This time, when you enter Beijing to participate in He Xiaoduo's succession ceremony, it will inevitably directly touch the power struggle at the highest level of the Tuhao Empire, so you must be careful in everything." In recent months, I have noticed that you are in a trance, and I am afraid that after you go to Shizhu Island, you will not pay attention and offend your authority. ”
Yun Tianjia said gently: "I'll be fine, don't worry." ”
"Court battles are the most cruel and must not be taken lightly. Gong Luoluo said: "The Tuhao Empire is worried about internal and external troubles, the government and the opposition are in turmoil, and He Xiaoduo's situation is quite bad. At this moment, there is no way back for her. The so-called sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. After her step-by-step, she will inevitably need to go further. But what does she rely on to get better? Not on you generals! If even you are discouraged, then she will be bad. Think about it, once she loses the struggle for power, will you be able to escape, how many people will have to die?"
Gong Luoluo knew that Yun Tianjia was extremely affectionate, and he might not care much about his own affairs, but he must be attentive to his friends' affairs, so he deliberately emphasized He Xiaoduo's difficulties and the importance of Yun Tianjia, so as to take the opportunity to inspire him to cheer up.
Yun Tianjia understood Gong Luoluo's intentions, and was slightly moved in his heart, and said, "I'll be fine." ”
After a moment of silence, he said, "This time I go to Shizhu Island, I have to find a way to find a suitable advanced soul beast with you." ”
Gong Luoluo hummed softly, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he said in a low voice: "Since you went to the Lingxin Terrace, since you came back, you don't want to say much, and you don't care about anything." I ask you, and you don't want to say it. In fact...... In fact, if you don't say it, I can roughly guess some clues. ”
"Oh?" Yun Tianjia frowned and said, "What do you think is the matter with me?"
Gong Luoluo stared at Yun Tianjia up and down, then walked a few steps around him, and suddenly concluded: "You must have taken a fancy to a girl from the Xianghe family, and she was rejected." You tell me, is it the fragrant lotus white lotus, the first money of the fragrant lotus, or someone else?"
Yun Tianjia's heart trembled, the woman's intuition was keen, and she smiled: "What's the matter, don't guess all day long." I've just encountered some confusion in my cultivation recently, and I'll be fine in a while!"
Gong Luoluo snorted coldly and turned away.
The straight-line distance from Lotus Xiangwu to Shizhu Island is about 1,100 kilometers, and it is actually necessary to turn a big bend and travel farther, and it is necessary to go out of the reeds, pass through Matai County, Qingyang County, Jinfengcheng, enter Huazhou, cross the Yima River, and then go to the periphery of Shizhu Island.
However, Long Yuandong has already walked this road once, and he is very impressed, and the terrain is familiar, so he did not choose another road to take.
There are only 55 people in this line, all of them are profound, and they travel 300 kilometers a day, and they still have spare energy.
Due to the full preparation, the intelligence support of the Gong Luo Luo Wind Brigade and the spiritual detection of Yun Tianjia, he easily avoided the eyes and ears of the Five Elements Sect all the way, and walked very smoothly, and in the evening three days later, he arrived at the east gate of Shizhu Island.
He Dali looked up at the majestic Giant's Road and the endless stream of business travelers outside the east gate, and sighed: "The city in the world is so big, you can only experience it when you arrive at Shizhu Island." Although it is not as gorgeous and elegant as the Xianghe Collection, it has another kind of majestic bearing, which is worthy of being the center of the entire Qinglong Continent!"
Xiong Zhuangzhuang smiled and said, "It's only a few dozen miles away from the First Star Courtyard, why don't we go to the First Star Courtyard first?"
Zhong Dinghe objected: "We came to Shizhu Island, the county lord knows, if we don't go to see her first, but go to the First Star Courtyard, I'm afraid it won't be possible." Moreover, since the graduation of our current batch of students, the Star First Academy has not yet recruited the second batch of students. The old students are not here, the new students are not here, what is the point of going there?"
Long Yuandong agreed: "Xingyi Courtyard can find another time to go again." It is imperative to settle everyone down first, and then go to meet the county lord. ”
Xiong Zhuangzhuang scratched his head and complained: "Isn't it a little too shabby to go to see the county lord empty-handed like this?"
Zhao Donghui, the former head of the Matai County Division, the current deputy envoy of the Longjia Army Water Brigade, and the scarred fish, sighed and said: "Oops, we entered Beijing this time, thinking a lot and being cautious, but we successfully avoided the eyes and ears of the Five Elements Sect, but we forgot the most important thing and didn't bring a gift to the county lord, and she will be blamed when the time comes, and she can't bear it!"
He Dali looked disdainful: "The county lord lives in the palace, what treasures are there? Do you still need us to bring gifts? Don't talk about this in the future!"
Long Yuandong frowned and thought for a while, and said: "The county lord is not an ordinary official, and we have no ordinary relationship with the county lord, so the gift is exempt, but I can't help but give her a surprise." I think if all of us are promoted to the eighth rank when we see her, she will be very happy, and she will be able to add some luster to her at the succession ceremony. Why don't we try our luck at the largest beast taming ground on Shizhu Island tonight and see if we can find a suitable Rank Advancement Soul Beast. ”
