Volume 1 Chapter 215 Arriving in Dragon City
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the scorching wind and waves unique to summer wash the castle tower over and over again. It was early afternoon, the temperature of the day was the highest, and the soldiers defending the city were wearing heavy armor and sweating.
Yun Conglong is a deputy commander of the Quancheng City Defense Army, and now he has been dispatched to Longcheng to temporarily serve as the commander of the Longcheng City Defense Army, commanding two-thirds of the soldiers of the Quancheng City Defense Army.
Yun Conglong was very satisfied with this kind of deployment, which meant that his immediate boss, Ringo, the commander of the Quancheng City Defense Army, began to value his role. And this temporary appointment as the commander of the Longcheng City Defense Army can greatly enrich his qualifications. In this way, the position of the commander of the Quancheng City Defense Army is almost in his pocket.
Of course, the prerequisite for becoming the commander of the Quancheng City Defense Army is to complete this operation.
Thinking of this, Yun Conglong couldn't help but look in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion. Speaking of which, I have to thank the city lord named Chu Kexuan, if he didn't want to rebel, he wouldn't have had this opportunity to perform.
Yun Conglong knew about Chu Kexuan's treason, and his task was to lead his city defense army to firmly defend Dragon City and prevent that Chu Kexuan from escaping.
However, he now has a very important task. Today, the envoy sent by the military department will arrive in Dragon City, and as the temporary commander of the Dragon City Defense Army, he needs to contact them and try his best to assist them.
Yun looked into the distance from Long, which was the direction of Shencheng, the transportation hub to the east of Dragon City.
The Star Emperor's kingdom is vast, and if you start from the Henglu Mountains in the north and go south to the coastal cities in the south, you may not be able to reach it for three years. As early as in the middle of the Middle Dragon Era, the Star Emperor Military Department did not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to establish hundreds of large or small teleportation arrays, and built the transportation network of the Star Emperor Kingdom. With these teleportation arrays, even the southernmost army can support the northern defense line in half a month in the case of a rapid march. And now, many small magic circles have lost their military role and have been taken over and sorted out by the Prime Minister's Mansion of the Star Emperor, forming the current civilian transportation network.
Shencheng in the northeast of the empire was a hub of this transportation network and a military stronghold of the empire. Whenever there is a battle in the eastern Mingzhi City, Shencheng can continuously teleport various legions in the empire to support Mingzhi City.
Yun Conglong had received the news a long time ago, and those envoys would come from Shencheng this afternoon. Therefore, he stood on the tower and waited very early.
Finally, a figure appeared in the distance. A total of eight people, riding horses and whips, riding fine horses, are coming towards Dragon City.
These eight people are naturally Ren Tianxiang and his party. They left the Spirit Beast Forest a day ago, and with the extremely fast flight speed of the Dragon God, it took only one day to arrive from the Spirit Beast Forest to Kecheng, the capital of Ye Ke Province, and from the capital of Ye Ke Province, they used the teleportation array to pass through two provinces before arriving at Shencheng, the capital of Suzhou Province.
After that, they rested in Shencheng for the night, and rode over the next morning. Each of their spirit beasts shrunk their bodies and hid them from their masters. As for Ren Tianling's Qingluan Bird and Ren Tianqing's Xiaobai, it has nothing to do with it, after all, no one stipulates that the inspector is not allowed to raise cats and birds. Needless to say, after Ren Tianling's Qingluan Bird shrank his body and hid his spiritual power, it was not easy to see that this was a spirit beast.
Yun Conglong went directly down to the city tower and greeted them at the city gate. His posture was very low, because he knew that in this operation, these inspectors were the right angles, and he was just an errand runner, and he didn't even need to run errands. Second, the Inspectorate, as an official of the independent supervision system of the Ministry of Justice, has a detached position in all matters relating to military affairs, and has even greater power in cases concerning the Ministry of Military Affairs than the inspectors of the Procuratorial Department of the Ministry of Inspection. In their hands, however, they have the power of impeachment at any time, and as long as they are under the jurisdiction of the military department, none of them is not afraid of them. Of course, this is limited to dealing with the affairs of the military department, after all, the inspection department, as one of the three ministries of the government, can investigate the affairs of the whole country.
Yun Conglong was very afraid, he believed that many people who belonged to the military department would be afraid of the envoys. If they encounter unreasonable supervisors, then the impeachment power in their hands is enough to ruin Yun Conglong's reputation. This is not an uncommon thing, and many powerful people will always become bad, which is justified.
However, to his surprise, a group of inspectors who were said to have come from Star City turned out to be just a few teenagers! This made him a little more impressed by the corruption of the Supervision Department.
Dismounted, Xuanyuan Liuli walked in the front, as the captain of the team, it was necessary to represent the whole team at this time.
After shaking hands with Yun Conglong, Xuanyuan Liuli began to introduce himself without changing his face: "Hello Yun Commander. I am Xuanyuan Liuli, the first-level supervision envoy of the Supervision Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs. We hope you will cooperate with us in this operation. ”
Yun Conglong was not surprised that Xuanyuan Liuli directly called out his name. He had also heard about the ability of the Supervision Division, and the treason was very important, and the Supervision Department must know everything about it now. Regarding the intelligence of the Supervision Department, Yun Conglong firmly believes that the information about himself must be so detailed that he even recorded the several fights he had when he was a child.
Not enough, he was a little surprised by the surname Xuanyuan Liuli. In the Star Emperor Kingdom, the person with the surname Xuanyuan must be a disciple of the Star Emperor Xuanyuan Palace, or even a descendant. And this Xuanyuan Hall is amazing, here will send a large number of talents to the Star Emperor Imperial Court every three years, integrating education and sects, and is a super force in the empire. Moreover, the Xuanyuan Hall was founded by Master Xuanyuan, the patron saint of the empire, and his status is even more transcendent.
After hearing Xuanyuan Liuli's name, Yun Conglong felt that the eight people in this line were likely to be the children of the big family who were selected by the big family to mix qualifications, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful in his heart.
This is normal, and generally officials like Yun Conglong, who have been promoted from the grassroots level step by step, naturally look down on such family children. These people have the support of their families, and many of them only need to mix up six years of seniority in the three departments, even if it is an idle position, they can eventually be promoted to serve in the prime minister's mansion.
Of course, the Star Emperor Imperial Court is very strict with the assessment of officials, these children who have been arranged by the family must have some talents, and it is impossible for the emperor to let such an absurd situation as "the upper grade has no cold family, and the lower grade has no scholar clan", after all, in the Star Emperor Kingdom, those families are just vassals, and the only one who really has the right to speak can only be the emperor.
However, this did not affect Yun Conglong's disdain for Xuanyuan Liuli and his group of eight. He won't show it, and he still has to make an eager expression on the surface.
"Certainly, definitely, we have been brought here to serve all of you. ”
After Yun Conglong finished speaking, he hurriedly turned sideways and made way and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please, I will lead the adults to the City Lord's Mansion." ”
"No, I don't. Xuanyuan Liuli waved his hand and said lightly, "I know the way to the City Lord's Mansion, we can go by ourselves." ”
After speaking, she ignored Yun Conglong, and walked directly into Dragon City with the team members.
Xuanyuan Liuli is not such a person, but in order to pretend to be an inspector, she specially learned the style of the inspector. So, it became like this.
Looking at the eight people who were far away, Yun Conglong let go of his clenched hands and sneered.
"Hey, what a big official!"
