The two rode on horseback, lightly armed.

It took less than two hours to arrive at Yonggu Pass.

Lin Yan came to the pass for the first time and looked around. From afar, you can see the garrison of the Union troops, with houses and military houses erected, and fields around them.

It was as if it had become a town, where the Fifth Army of the Alliance had taken root.

Blue Moon was busy with affairs and could not be stationed in person, so Huang Li, deputy commander of the Fifth Army, was guarded at Yonggu Pass for a long time.

Seeing Huang Li again after many years, he is already the deputy commander of the First Army and has a place in the military department.

In fact, he is not the only one, the first group of soldiers who followed her out on expeditions are now the mainstay of the military department.

The alliance army has expanded to ten armies, and most of the commanders are those old men, such as Lan Xing, Jiang Li, etc. The up-and-comers are not qualified enough and can only be topped by them.

"Alliance leader, minister, why are you here all of a sudden, what's wrong?" It's no wonder that Huang Li thinks so, it is usually a major event to let the two of them go out together.

Lin Yan said with a smile: "It's okay, I happened to come to Yongzhou to inspect, and Blue Moon accompanied me to see Yonggu Pass." You've been stationed here all year round, and you've worked hard. ”

Huang Li saluted, "It's not hard, it's my duty." ”

Lan Yue returned a standard military salute, "Have you sent someone over from outside the gate recently?" ”

Huang Li nodded, "Half a month ago, a family of fifteen people came, all of whom were settled in nearby Ningchuan Town. ”

"Are the people in Ningchuan Town still obedient?" Lin Yan asked.

This town is specially used to accept exiles, to carry out labor reform education for them, and to move to other towns if they pass the assessment and perform well.

There is also a Xiguan town with the same effect in Feimen Pass.

For the sinners who have been exiled, the alliance will not refuse to come, and will receive and manage them in a unified manner. The main thing is that these people can't go back, they can't watch them die, they can only be transformed and reused.

Huang Li said: "Rest assured, we have a strict management system to transform those who are disobedient. Most of them are very obedient and work hard to settle down. ”

Only those who pass the examination can apply for the Union ID card and household registration, and those people have to work hard to get a place to live.

The two handed over the horse to Huang Li to settle down, took their luggage and began to climb the mountain.

Fortunately, Blue Moon has been here before, so she is familiar with the way.

Tianduan Mountain is worthy of natural danger, and there are many fierce beasts on the mountain, and it took the two of them six days to climb over to the other side of the mountain, and they can see the situation outside the pass.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, Lin Yan sighed with emotion: "At a glance, it is a good place. If it weren't for the Heavenly Broken Mountain, the wasteland would have been occupied long ago. ”

A mountain forcibly separates the two regions, and there is no communication between the mountains and the mountains, which is why the Sun Alliance is born.

Lan Yue nodded: "No one will be too big. ”

"In a word. If it weren't for the Tianduan Mountain blocking us, we would have been able to fight outside the gate. Lin Yan looked into the distance, "There are people over there, it looks like a big city." ”

Lan Yue nodded, "There is the largest city on the border of the Dongli Dynasty, Wuwei City, which was also the former Wuguo and was included in the territory of the Dongli Dynasty. ”

"Wu Guo?" Lin Yan remembered, "The martial country we were looking for?" ”

"Exactly. It was only destroyed a hundred years ago, and the country of Wu no longer exists. Let's go to Wuwei City first? ”

"Okay, it's all strange to us here, it's the same everywhere. How much do you know about Wuwei City? ”

"From the mouths of those exiled prisoners, I know that Wuwei City is very large, there are divine envoys sitting in the town, and you need to check your identity when you enter the city, but these are only for ordinary people, and they will be much more tolerant of divine envoys."

"In fact, both the three major dynasties and the four great empires have preferential treatment for divine envoys. We disguise ourselves as gods to make it easier to act. But there is one thing to be careful about, it must not be exposed to the wasteland, once it is leaked, it will become the public enemy of everyone. Whether it is an ordinary person or an oracle, they will glare at the sinners of the wasteland, and even shout and beat everyone. Everyone believed that the sins of those exiled to the wasteland were unforgivable, and that their descendants were born with sin, and that even slaves were superior to the sinners of the wasteland. ”

Lin Yan said angrily: "Nonsense is nothing but discrimination against the wasteland. Ignorant and ignorant and unknowing, brainwashed by others and not knowing, it is simply extremely stupid. ”

"Not really, but these ideas are deeply rooted in people's hearts, and you can't change it overnight. We still have to hide our identities and slowly figure it out. ”

"Don't worry, I know what is important. Our mission on this trip is to find out the enemy situation and find traces of Venus. ”

The two rested for a night, and with all their might, they avoided the patrol team along the road, and quietly touched the gate of Wuwei City.

At this time, five days have passed, and the two dirty and unrecognizable people hide in one place and quietly observe the movement at the city gate.

In particular, the expressions of the divine envoys and the procedures for entering and leaving the city were the objects they were going to imitate next.

This observation lasted for another two days, and when they were dressed up in disguise, the two of them reappeared as if they were arrogant and unattainable, wearing the white robes of the divine envoy's favorite costume, and their heads were scattered.

Fortunately, they saw someone with yellow hair, or even red hair, appear, so they dared to let Lin Yan swagger with blonde hair.

It turns out that all kinds of strange hair colors are normal here, and people have long been accustomed to it.

The two approached the city gate with a smile and a smile, and when they saw their attire, the city guard immediately greeted them with a flattering gesture and respectfully invited them into the city, but as for the identification of their identities, they were not there.

The gods are so high that ordinary people can only bow down when they see it, and they have no part to come forward and speak. No one dared to pretend to be an oracle.

Because of this, Lin Yan and Lan Yue were cheaper, and the two of them swaggered on the streets of Wuwei City.

Anyone who saw them did not dare to look at them directly, and hurriedly bowed their heads to avoid them, for fear of disturbing the oracle.

Seeing this, the look in Lin Yan's eyes became colder and colder. The pedestrians on the street, with yellow and thin faces, unclothed and dull eyes, look more like destroyed puppets.

Occasionally, well-dressed people pass by, all in carriages or carried by others, surrounded by groups of slaves, hugging each other, and at first glance they are not low-level people.

This is a bit far from what she imagined. It is the same style as the former Yongcheng and Fengcheng, and the hierarchy is strict and insurmountable.

The two found an inn and settled down in a small courtyard.

At the same time, the news of the entry of two divine envoys into the city has been reported to the Fusi of Wuwei Town, and the envoys of the town did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly asked their subordinates to inquire.

Judging from the report, the two divine envoys who had just entered the city looked quite large. The pacification made Xia Yuansheng know very well which people can be offended and which people must not be touched.

The pacification envoy of the border city is equivalent to being dispatched, and it is rare to meet two high-ranking divine envoys, so how can they seize the opportunity to perform well.

Xia Yuansheng has been looking for opportunities, but unfortunately Wuwei City is located on the border, and there is no divine envoy willing to set foot in it, so he can't see hope.

The two oracles who had just arrived had become the ladder to the clouds that he was trying so hard to grasp.

In the small courtyard of the inn, Lin Yan and Lan Yue simply cleaned up and ate the food they had sent.

Lin Yan couldn't help but complain: "It's either steamed or boiled, there is no oil and water, it's still a good alliance, you can eat whatever you want." It's not good to go out and eat unsatisfactorily. ”

"Be content, just fill your stomach." Lan Yue was not so picky, "Look at the people on the street outside, which one is not starving, we can sit here and eat these, it is already the light of identity." ”

"That's what you're saying. The identity of the oracle is too good, he can eat and live for nothing, and he can be looked up to by everyone. It's the first time I've experienced it. ”

Lan Yue scolded her: "You are the leader of the alliance, and you are more useful than the identity of the divine envoy." ”

"That can be the same." Lin Yan rolled his eyes indecently, "The leader of the alliance is respected and loved from the bottom of his heart, while the divine envoy is feared, relying on the blood and sweat of exploiting the people at the bottom, he is completely bullying." ”

"It's good to understand. I'm still enjoying you. Lan Yue smiled lightly, "Just a Wuwei City, you can see that the class rule of the dynasty and the empire is much the same, and it is completely contrary to our philosophy." ”

"Not bad. The alliance has a unique system, which is different from any existing management mechanism, and we are working so hard to maintain the long-term existence of the alliance. ”

Referring to these, Lin Yan was infinitely melancholy, "Who would have thought that a small Sun Tribe would grow into today's Sun Alliance, with a vast territory and a population of tens of millions. And the burden on our shoulders is getting heavier and heavier. ”

"Not only to let all the people of the alliance live a good life, but also to give them a stable living environment. Both internal stability and external threats should be taken into account. ”

Blue Moon: "The alliance is the home of countless people, and we have the responsibility to maintain its stability and peace, and defend the country." ”

"I knew you would say that. To tell the truth, over the years, you have devoted yourself to your career, and the military department has been thriving under your leadership, which is obvious to all. Especially in the unification of Yongzhou and Anzhou, you are the biggest hero. ”

Lin Yan's eyes flashed with a sly look, and the topic suddenly changed, "Over the years, you have worked hard and worked hard, and you are already thirty-five years old, haven't you considered your private affairs?" Don't want to have a child who is connected to your blood? ”

Lan Yue was stunned, but she didn't expect Lin Yan to suddenly mention this, and she was dull for a moment before she said: "What about you, you are only five years younger than me, and many people in the alliance are watching your life's events." There have always been rumors about you and Ye Cong, but there has been no result. What are your plans? ”

"Uh, what about you, what are you doing with me. Didn't I say it a long time ago, if you don't marry and have children, you and Huang Ying are different, and you don't express your position for a long time, which makes people scratch their heads. ”

After thinking about it seriously, Lan Yue said: "I don't reject marriage and childbearing, it's just that I haven't met the right person." ”

Lin Yan was surprised, "You really think so?" ”

Blue Moon nodded, "I don't think the same as you. You don't want to, and I'm okay with that. As for Huang Ying, I haven't talked about it, so I don't know what she thinks. ”

Huang Ying has become more and more calm and sophisticated over the years, handling political affairs with ease, and exquisite, which is another anchor of the alliance.

But she and Lanyue Lin Yan are the objects of people's after-dinner conversation, just because the three of them have not been married and have children for a long time, which has raised the average age of marriage and childbearing for women in the Sun Alliance.

More and more girls are looking up to the three of them and are unwilling to marry and have children early.

Lin Yan said helplessly: "With your status today, which man dares to take the initiative to pursue?" ”

Since Blue Moon recovered Yongzhou and Anzhou with an iron and bloody hand, no one dared to compete with them.

Lan Yue said: "I can pursue him." When I do, I will definitely solve it quickly, and I will never drag the mud and water. You haven't said what's going on with Ye Cong? According to my observation, Ye Cong only has you in his eyes, and he is dedicated to following the left and right, you really can't feel it? ”

"I'm not a stone, how can I not feel it." Lin Yan choked and was silent for a long time before saying, "Ye Cong is a dead eye, but I can't give him what he wants." Just let it be. ”

Lan Yue didn't ask anymore, and she could see that no one else could interfere in emotional matters. Ye Cong has been Lin Yan's little follower since he was a child, and after so many years, he still hasn't changed, and others can't persuade him.

Seeing that Lin Yan was in a low mood, she thought of an interesting story and said: "It is rumored that someone is stalking Huang Ying, and there is a great possibility of success." ”

"Who?" Lin Yan immediately became interested, "Where did you hear about it, why didn't I know?" ”

"Guess what, you know this person." Blue Moon sold a pass.

Lin Yan combed through the people he knew, couldn't find a clue at all, and said suspiciously: "You won't make fun of me, right?" I've been in Sun City for so long, how can I not know that this person still exists. ”

"I never lie." Lan Yue was serious, "You must know this person, but I didn't think about it for a while." ”

"Okay, don't sell it, just say who it is." Lin Yan racked his brains, but he was really powerless, so he could only ask for something softly.

"It's high-tech."

Lin Yan suddenly said, "Why didn't I think it was him." I've met several times in the Court of Arbitration before, and I thought he was going to work, and I didn't associate it with Huang Ying at all. ”

"Gao Xin's kid, like his father Gao Qiang, has a simple and dark face. I remember that he was a few years older than me, and about the same age as Huang Ying, so it was quite appropriate to think about it. ”

"Blue Moon, tell me quickly, how do you know? It doesn't make sense, I didn't know when I stayed in Sun City all day, you are far away in Yongzhou, and you are even better informed than me. ”

"I also found out by accident." Lan Yue said honestly, "Feng Yanfei came to report on the work and brought a gossip journal, and I glanced at it. It was written in the gossip newspaper that Gao Xin generously preached that good things were coming in all the newspapers under Gao's banner. The woman's name was not mentioned, so I asked Feng Yanfei curiously. ”

"I see." Lin Yan realized, Feng Yanfei is a person from the Special Security Bureau, and she has the latest news, no wonder Lan Yue will know.

"Did Gaoxin really do that?"

Lan Yue nodded, "The Gao family occupies half of the alliance's newspaper industry, although it is mainly gossip entertainment, but it also has some authenticity. According to the information of the Special Security Bureau, the matter is not far from ten. ”

"Tsk, I really didn't expect it, no, I have to write to ask Huang Ying." Lin Yan became excited, and when he saw the place he was, he was like a deflated ball, and he was instantly deflated.
