"The one from Laizhou, do you want to report it to Cheng Tang Shengzu to take care of it?" In mid-air, Zhang Guifang said to Yun Mengjun.

Yun Mengjun shook his head: "Do you think Cheng Tang doesn't know?" He paused, "That one in Laizhou is just a clown who jumps off the beam, thinking that he can take advantage of making a deal with those people in Yingzhou." ”

Zhang Guifang said: "Yingzhou doesn't even have an emperor, just rely on those four, dare to fight the idea of big business?"

Yun Mengjun said: "It's not that simple, Emperor Xuanyuan planned back then to put the soul and soul of the Demon Emperor into Zixiao's body, and it was by no means untargeted. ”

Zhang Guifang shook his head, saying that he didn't understand, when it comes to fighting, maybe he is not much worse than the old demon around him who has lived for tens of thousands of years, and in terms of resourcefulness and means, he thinks that he is not inferior to anyone, but when it comes to the calculations of these great gods, Zhang Guifang, who is only a few thousand years old, is indeed not as familiar as Yun Mengjun.

Yun Mengjun said: "Look at the capital city more during this time, don't let Yingzhou or Laizhou send people to hurt Yunzhong's family." ”

Zhang Guifang said with a smile: "Sometimes I really feel that you take care of this kid a little too much, what is your relationship with him?"

Yun Mengjun didn't answer, and Zhang Guifang didn't ask anymore.

Five days later, Yunzhong and his party finally arrived at Xindu City.

Whether it is Zixiao or Zhao Qian, they all like this place as soon as they see Little Magic Mountain, and they either climb the mountain or soak in the hot springs every day, and they forget to return.

But in the clouds, it is busy.

"Loulan, seven thousand miles west of Liangzhou in the Great Xia Kingdom, with an area of 450,000 square kilometers and a population of about seven million, is a large country among the countries of the Western Regions. ”

In a house in the manor outside the Little Demon Township, the four brothers Yun Zhong and Zhou Yu were gathered in front of a large map with a group of high-nosed and deep-eyed people from the Western Regions, and at the same time, Mu Ying, Lan Yu, and Ye Xian were in the room.

"Loulan is in the Xiyi Continent and the Chinese countries trade on the only way, since ancient times, it is an important commercial town, the military status is also very important, the control of Loulan, is to choke the throat of the land trade between the Xiyi Continent and the Chinese countries, but also to grasp the largest financial resources in the Western Regions. ”

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with gray hair, tall stature, broad shoulders, and a delicate face, this person was Rant, the master of Loulan Prince Luo Kai, but he himself was not from Loulan, but a nobleman from Gronia, and at this moment he was using a thin wooden stick to introduce the expedition that everyone was about to start on the large map.

Tai Shi Ci frowned and said, "How many cities are there in total, and how strong are our enemies?"

Rand said: "There are a total of fifty-five cities in the whole territory of Loulan, but Loulan is a little different from the Chinese countries, most of our cities have autonomy, that is to say, although Ahur has nominally occupied Loulan, but in fact, nearly half of the cities are only superficially subordinate, among which there is a city called Chak, the city lord Bahar is our people, we can first put up a big flag from there on this expedition." ”

"As for the troops, since we have been away from Loulan for more than a year, although Bahar has also sent us a few letters, but many of the circumstances are not clear, we can only say this: a year ago, the Mujahideen army under Ahur had 500,000 men, but most of them were untrained farmers and herdsmen, and they couldn't even get together weapons and equipment, and there were about 20,000 really elite mujahideen. ”

Yun Zhong said in a deep voice: "The number a year ago, now this number is much more, it is estimated that there should be 100,000 professional soldiers." ”

Luo Kai said: "There won't be so many, after all, Loulan is not only the followers of Huzi, the number of believers of Emperor Shiva is even more. ”

Rand said: "Of course, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand. ”

Yunzhong pouted, and Luo Kai stopped arguing.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "That is to say, we have to go over the mountains and mountains for tens of thousands of miles, with dozens of people and a city lord who doesn't know how to rely on it, to challenge at least 500,000 fanatical Huzi believers, including at least 50,000 or 60,000 elite troops?"

A Loulan man named Kalu said angrily, "You can not go." ”

Rand glared back at Karui, then turned his head to face the clouds: "Lord Yun, what do you think?"

Yunzhong shrugged: "Let's think about which route to take first, the safest route is to take the Rakshasa country, through the Khitan, Ding Ling, and enter Loulan from the north, correspondingly, this road is also the longest, it is estimated that it will take at least four months to reach Loulan." ”

"The second way," Yun Zhong drew another stroke on the map, "The nearest road, through Datang, through Great Xia, directly to Loulan, will only take less than two months, of course, if we expose our identities halfway, it is likely that we will have to take it with us in the prison cell of Great Xia for a few years." ”

Rand smiled: "Naturally, we will not choose this second path. ”

Yunzhong also smiled: "Then the third road, pass through Murowei, Xiongnu, Ding Ling, and enter Loulan from Ding Ling." ”

Luo Kai frowned and said, "Murwei is not very safe, is it?" The reputation of Murwei is a horse, and he has often heard of it in the Western Regions.

Lan Yu laughed and said, "With the name of our lord, it is not a problem to pass through the Murowei Prairie. ”

Yunzhong waved his hand: "There is another advantage to walking from this road, there are fierce nomads along the way, which is convenient for us to recruit troops along the road." ”

Rand showed embarrassment on his face: "Don't tell the lord, when we escaped, we also brought some treasures, but now we are displaced, and the expenses are quite large, and there are less than 100,000 gold coins left." ”

Yun Zhong's face froze, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay, I can lend you 10 million gold coins first, but after you successfully restore the country, you can repay it with interest." ”

Luo Kai was overjoyed and said: "Lord Yun is really extraordinary, even so, I will use the Sword of Time, the treasure of my Loulan Kingdom, as collateral, and write an IOU to Lord Yun." ”

But he saw Luo Kai take out an object from the storage ring and held it in front of Yunzhong very carefully, Yunzhong didn't care, but when he looked at it, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

I saw that it was a short sword no more than two feet long, and the scabbard was decorated with hundreds of precious stones, which was obviously a high-grade and precious thing, but what the clouds noticed was not these, it was this short sword that was wrapped around something invisible to the naked eye, which was the most original thing in the world - Dao Rule.

Cultivating the Infinite Dao in the clouds, cultivating the eight veins corresponding to the eight basic elements in this world at the same time to perfection, the Dao rules corresponding to the eight elements have also been touched, and even after cultivating the Hetu Luo Shu, he also comprehended the way of positive and negative elements, but the corresponding Dao rules on this sword are the first time that Yun Zhong has come into contact with: the Dao of Time.

"Lord Yun?" Yun Zhong was in a daze, but he saw Lan Te come forward, called himself a few times in a row, and shook a pair of slender hands in front of Yun Zhong a few times.

Yunzhong came to his senses and smiled embarrassedly: "The treasure of Loulan Country is indeed worthy of its name, and it is worthy of its name!"

This is, Luo Kai had already written the IOU, and Yunzhong took the IOU and put it away with the Sword of Time.

Yun Zhong said to Luo Kai again: "Your Royal Highness, Yun has accepted your request, your business is naturally Yun's business, please allow me to prepare for a few days, on the fifth day of the tenth month, we will leave for Loulan." ”

Lokai was grateful.

After another conversation, Luo Kai and Rand took the Loulan people to say goodbye and return to the inn.

After Yunzhong saw that the people of Loulan had walked away, he breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and called, "Mu Ying!"

Mu Ying stepped forward and said with a smile: "I won't bring the brothers in the Flying Fox Regiment this time, you and Lan Yu will take care of everyone during the days I go on the expedition." ”

also stood up first and said: "Sir, I'm not good at government affairs, you better take me to Loulan, I'd rather go to war with you, it's better than facing a group of Rakshasa girls every day like this!"

Yexian's main task now is to manage the animal husbandry in Qingdai City, last year's Qingdai City War, thousands of Rakshasa female soldiers surrendered to the clouds, and now most of them have been assigned to Yexian's men to graze cattle and sheep, these tough girls have caused a lot of trouble for Yexian.

Yun Zhong laughed: "First of all, if you want to revive the Oiral tribe, you can't just rely on fighting, you better stay in Qingdai City and handle government affairs well." ”

had to retreat first, Lan Yu smiled and said, "You still have a headache, Dong Ping can't imagine that they want you." ”

also glared at him first, and then thought that Dong Ping had really run to him recently because he had nothing to do, and couldn't help laughing.

Yunzhong said in a deep voice: "Speaking of Dong Ping, the old brothers of the Flying Fox Regiment, let Dong Ping, Zhu Wu, Helian Peng, and Li Wan accompany me, plus me and my three sworn brothers, a total of eight people, and then bring that Nord woman Mathilde and thirty members of her mercenary team, that's all, the others stay in Youzhou and Donghai Prefecture, cultivate well, and wait for us to come back." ”

Shi Jin shouted: "Commander, why don't you take me there?"

Yun Zhong smiled: "Don't you still want to grab the blood swallow with Lan Yu? ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Shi Jin muttered: "People are now playing with that kid from Li Teh every day, and it is estimated that Lan Yu and I have no play." ”

Lan Yu said in a loud voice, "Do you want to give up? ”

Another burst of laughter rang out.

Yun Zhong said: "I will put it here in the Blue Demon Realm first, when you are not busy, everyone should go in and cultivate, remember, the people of my generation still have to focus on cultivation." ”

Everyone nodded yes, and then took their leave.

The huge council chamber left a man in the clouds facing the huge map.

"Loulan, it's really quite far away," Yun Zhong showed a wry smile on his face, "Is it really possible to pull out a big tooth from the tiger's mouth in Great Xia?"

He took out the Sword of Time that Prince Lokai had mortgaged to him just now, walked to the window, looked at the sun, and studied it carefully.

"Time Dao rules, if I integrate into the Infinite Dao, maybe I can be promoted to the Immortal Rank. ”
