Volume II, Chapter 115: The City of Ibu

Luo Kai, the prince of Loulan, and the minister Lante and others originally complained about Yunzhong, thinking that he stayed in Lucheng for a few days for no reason, and was delaying time, but when it was time to set off, they saw a thousand well-groomed cavalry, and the people of Loulan immediately had nothing to say.

Especially the group of people who walked in the forefront of the army, there were five or six Heavenly Rank masters alone, and the momentum was monstrous, which really brought a lot of surprises to Luo Kai and the others.

Not only them, but Yunzhong was also a little surprised, this trip to Lucheng, the original purpose was just to relieve the siege of the Duke Department, but I didn't expect to gain a lot, not only found Kumo and a thousand old departments, but also got Li Dao, Zhang Xiu and other fierce generals, and Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun joined in, which doubled the strength of this small Loulan Restoration Army.

Yun Zhong looked at the white-robed and white-armored young general who was following Li Cunxiao, and there was a burst of appreciation in his eyes.

Last night, when Li Cunxiao arrived at the post house with Zhao Yun, Yun Zhong felt that except for Lu Bu, the peak of the Heavenly Rank that he had seen was the strongest among the young people. Maybe in terms of the precipitation and condensation of the Dao, he can't compare to Li Cunxiao, who has crossed the threshold of the immortal step with one leg, but every move, every step, Zhao Yun can do it without flaws, and this state of mind of being in a state of battle anytime and anywhere is above Li Cunxiao.

In the later conversation, Yun Zhongfang found out that Zhao Yun was originally from the Zhao family in Feilu City, Jizhou, Dashang Kingdom, and was Zhao Qian's distant cousin.

At present, the number of troops is sufficient, which brings a problem, the originally planned journey can not be walked, after all, there are now more than 1,000 people, if it is according to the original plan to swagger through the Murowei steppe into the Xiongnu, I am afraid that it will make the Xiongnu military nervous, if Attila in the name of resisting the invasion of Yunzhong led the army, send a large army to encircle and suppress this small army, it will be terrible.

After consulting Luo Kai and Lante, Yunzhong decided to make a detour of more than 1,000 miles, directly entering the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom from the north of Murowe, and after marching in the territory of the Rakshasa Kingdom for two days, he entered Ding Ling and entered the Western Regions through Ding Ling.

In this way, it would take nearly ten more days to take the route, but Luo Kai and the others looked at the thousand fierce cavalrymen, and agreed after a little discussion.

In this way, after marching in the territory of Murowei for more than ten days, the Loulan Restoration Army crossed the border and arrived at the city of Ibu in the Rakshasa Kingdom.

Theoretically, the Rakshasa Kingdom would never welcome a mercenary team from a big businessman, but now the Rakshasa Kingdom has almost completely lost its garrison strength under the repeated attacks of several major powers, and all the military forces that can be mobilized have been pulled to the east to deal with the coalition forces of Su Shen and Buyeo.

In this Ibu city, there is only a light cavalry squad of more than 50 people left to maintain law and order, and about 100 mercenaries from Gronia and other places, when this force of more than 1,000 people in the cloud arrives outside Ibu City, both the Rakshasas and the Gronians are ready to surrender without a fight.

Fortunately, the Roland Restoration Army did not plan to take advantage of the situation to capture this small Rakshasa city, and even, in order to prevent these mercenary cavalry from Wusun and other countries from harassing the poor Rakshasa people in the city, Yunzhong ordered Kumo and Tai Shici to lead a large army to camp outside the city, and he took a small team of knights into Ibu City to purchase some military supplies, and see if he could recruit some Rakshasa strong men to enrich the army.

A small team of more than a dozen people entered the city proudly, without encountering any formal obstacles.

During the day, Yun Zhong took everyone to the shops and blacksmith shops in the city and walked around, but he didn't get much gain, only bought more than ten sets of armor, and more than sixty mules and horses, but found a war knife of the lower grade of the heavenly rank in the blacksmith shop, and Yun Zhong bought it for 700,000 gold coins and gave it to Zhou Yu.

Originally, the price of such a war knife was more than one million gold coins anyway, but the owner of the blacksmith shop was already frightened when he saw such a group of armed men of unknown origin, so he basically only charged the cost price.

After a few more turns, but to no avail, Yunzhong took everyone to find a tavern, and prepared to return to the camp outside the city after dinner.

No matter how depressed the city is, the tavern is always doing good business, and the smuggling merchants, mercenaries from various countries, and the instigators and prostitutes who make money from these mercenaries can always fill the halls of the taverns, which are not very large.

This is also one of the purposes of Yunzhong's coming here, he has already walked to the border of Ding Ling, in the territory of Ding Ling, you can use the banner of Baibars, you don't need to scruples, you can recruit more soldiers, if you can find some mercenaries with martial arts in the tavern, it is naturally better. Although the loyalty of mercenaries is seriously problematic, there are no loyal and reliable fighters in the Loulan Restoration Army at present.

The tavern hostess in cool clothes came over as soon as possible, Yunzhong asked for a few bottles of ale wine, ordered a few side dishes casually, everyone sat down around the two tables, Yunzhong took a bottle of ale wine, and was about to pour himself a drink, and a slender jade hand next to him had already handed over a full wine glass.

Yunzhong took the wine glass, smiled and greeted the owner of the jade hand, the stunning beauty Diao Chan's beautiful eyes flowed, smiled at Yunzhongyan, with the concentration in the clouds, he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart, and hurriedly recited his heart secretly, and lowered the churning qi and blood pressure, secretly glad, if it wasn't for Zijuan who had laid a lot of foundation for herself before, otherwise it would be really difficult to control in front of such a charm.

An argument arose at a table not far away, drawing everyone's attention.

The scantily clad tavern hostess was surrounded by several Gronian mercenaries.

"Little girl, don't be so restrained, you are the most beautiful in this Ibu city, as long as you say a word, the strongest warrior among us will draw your sword for you anytime and anywhere. A short man, tugging at the young girl's few clothes, said drunkenly, the other mercenaries didn't move, just whistled and coaxed.

The girl seemed to have just worked in such a place, and had no experience in dealing with such a situation, and struggled with all her might, and was already crying, but her reaction aroused the evil desires of the mercenaries more and more, and the short man smiled lewdly, and with a "snort" of his hand, he ripped off a short shirt that the girl's upper body had just been able to cover her body.

The whole tavern erupted in laughter and cheers, and the poor girl clung to her bodice and let out a dry cry to run away.

The short man was cheering and was about to go to the next city.

Beside Yunzhong, Sun Ce's temperament was as fierce as fire, and he had already slapped the table and stood up, ready to take care of this idle matter, but someone was faster than him.

A Rakshasa boy over two meters tall rushed in through the gate and stopped in front of the Gronya mercenaries, protecting the humiliated girl behind her.

The short man froze for a moment, and the huge size of the opponent who suddenly appeared startled him, and he sobered up a lot, but after seeing clearly that the other party was only an eighteen or nineteen-year-old half-grown child, the mercenary was a little ashamed of his timidity, and pressed the short battle axe on his waist with his right hand, and said fiercely: "Where is the stinky boy, dare to meddle with your Uncle Rolf's affairs?"

The tall Rakshasa boy was unarmed, and when he saw that Rolf was going to use his blade, he looked left and right, ran to the door, hugged a bowl-thick poplar tree at the door, and his arms were muscular, only to hear a few "quacks", a living poplar tree was uprooted, and the boy held the poplar tree horizontally, like a burning stick, and strode to the stunned Gronian mercenaries.

"Rolf, don't be ashamed, go back to camp honestly!" a calm voice sounded.

The Gronian man named Rolf hurriedly shouted, "Yes, instructor." Then he turned around and walked outside the tavern, and before he went out, he did not forget to say to the Rakshasa Hercules boy, "Stinky boy, you are lucky today!"

Sun Ce leaned in front of Yunzhong: "How is this kid?"

Yunzhong nodded, Sun Ce smiled, and left the table.
