Yun Zhong Province. The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the valley. This was the garrison of the Yun Zhong Province's Iron Blade Army, but it was also very close to Cangnan Province's Wugu City.
As the sun rose, the morning light shone on the cavalrymen's armor, giving off a mesmerizing glow.
There were four people standing on the platform. They were Su Muyun, Su Yu, Su Long, and Luo Xin, who had just joined the Iron Blade Army. At this time, Luo Xin was wearing a silver robe that was specially made. His white robe was fluttering in the wind, and he was holding an iron spear in his hand.
"This is the Iron Blade Army."
Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said, "One of the most elite cavalrymen in the empire. The Iron Blade Army still maintains a formation of fifty thousand cavalrymen and seventy thousand infantrymen. In terms of numbers, they are one of the best in the empire. Ah Yu has improved the weapons and shields used by the Iron Blade Army many times in the past two years to increase their fighting power, but … the Iron Blade Army is no longer the strongest army in the empire."
Luo Xin was stunned, "Such a strong Iron Blade Army is still not the strongest in the empire? Then who is?"
"Currently, the publicly acknowledged strongest army in the empire is Lin Muyu's Valiant Dragon Army. There are a total of 60,000 of them, and their equipment is second to none in the continent. Their military strength is also witnessed by everyone." Su Yu smiled faintly and said, "The Brave Dragon Battalion defeated the first demon legion at the Wildfire Plains with almost negligible losses, forcing the first demon commander, Qian Feng, to return in defeat. It is precisely because of this that the Brave Dragon Battalion is the legion that the Empress trusts the most."
Luo Xin's eyes were full of fighting spirit, "Father, don't worry. I will definitely follow Sister Su Yu and Uncle Long to learn the art of war. I will make the Iron Blade Army the strongest army in the world, surpassing the Longdan Army Camp!"
"Good!"
Su Muyun nodded and smiled, "This is what I wanted to hear. Now, I will give you your first order."
Luo Xin immediately cupped his hands, "Father, please give me your order."
"I will give you five thousand cavalrymen. You must take back a black gold mine from a group of bandits before sunset."
"Mountain Mountain Obsidian Gold Mine?" Luo Xin was stunned: "I have seen the map. Qishan belongs to the territory of Cangnan Province. It is under the jurisdiction of the governor of Wugu City, Xu Jiantao, and Xu Jiantao is Lin Muyu's man."
"That's right."
Su Muyun said, "There are very few Profound Gold mines within the empire's borders, and most of them are mined privately. Mount Qi is located at the border between Cangnan Province and Yunzhong Province, and its sovereignty has always been unclear. Furthermore, Xu Jiantao has too few troops under his command, so he sent a group of less than two thousand mercenaries to mine at Mount Qi. Hmph … Since that's the case, we'll just treat this group of mercenaries as bandits and eliminate them, and take the Mount Qi's Profound Gold mine for ourselves."
"Yes, I understand!"
The sun had completely risen above the horizon and shone on Su Muyun and Su Yu's faces. Su Yu was slightly displeased after hearing Su Muyun's words. She waited until Luo Xin rode away before saying, "Father … Yu is Xiao Yin's man. Us making such a big fuss is no different from provoking him."
"Provoking?"
Su Muyun looked at his daughter indifferently and said, "How many people from the Su Family are still being used by His Highness in the Ze Tian Palace? If we don't consolidate our strength, I'm afraid that Tang Lan will be able to quietly destroy our Yunzhong Province without a trace before Xiao Yin makes a move. The Profound Gold mine is extremely important to any power. In the future, whoever controls the Heavenly Book will have great power. "
Su Yu wanted to say something but stopped herself. Helplessness was written all over her charming face.
… …
Three days later, after tossing and turning, Lin Muyu's five hundred men finally returned to Lanyan City. Situ Sen and Situ Xue led five thousand men from the Longdan Army Camp out of the city to welcome them. When they saw a group of Frost Armored Dragons and Blazing Black Tortoises, they were immediately shocked.
"Commander, is this the legendary Frost Armored Dragon?" Situ Sen held the hilt of his sword and looked at Wei Chou's spirit pet with caution.
"Huff … Huff …"
The Frost Armored Dragon seemed to have sensed Situ Sen's hostility. It immediately moved its head over and spat out a frosty breath at Situ Sen's face. Streaks of ice fell down his face. Immediately, Situ Sen pulled out his sword and said angrily, "Lightning-throwing Lou Mou, you bastard, how dare you spit at me!?"
Wei Chou glared and said, "General Sen, this is my spirit pet. Don't provoke it!"
Situ Sen laughed and put his arm around Wei Chou's shoulder. He said, "Ah Chou, do you have any extra Frost Armored Dragons? Why don't you give one to me and I'll treat you to a drink! "
Wei Chou widened his eyes and said, "My name is Wei Chou, not Ah Chou!"
"What's the difference? We shouldn't haggle over every penny. Our lives are too tiring. Ah Chou, I'll treat you to three drinks in exchange for a Frost Armored Dragon."
"If you want to catch one, go ahead!"
Situ Xue giggled at the side. She didn't care about Situ Sen and Wei Chou's nonsense. She rode to Lin Muyu's side and said with a respectful smile, "Commander, you've worked hard!"
"General Xue has also worked hard in training the soldiers," Lin Muyu said with a smile.
Situ Xue looked at the group of spirit pets behind her and said, "If so many behemoths were to enter Lanyan City, I'm afraid that the common people would be frightened. Milord, do you really want to bring these Frost Armored Dragons into the Imperial Capital? I'm afraid that even the Imperial Army guarding the city would not agree to it."
"Of course not."
Lin Muyu smiled and said, "I've already thought about it. The Frost Armored Dragons can't leave the water for too long. Otherwise, they will lose their vitality. Therefore, General Xue, please send people to dig a lake beside the encampment outside the Longdan Army Camp. Let's call it the Dragon Pond. It will be the habitat of the Frost Armored Dragons. In the future, if we have more aquatic spirit pets, we can also raise them in the Dragon Pond."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Situ Xue smiled and said, "With so many spirit pets, I'm afraid we'll need a lot of food. Do you need me to take care of this?"
"That would be best."
"Yes!"
Situ Xue held the reins and thought for a moment. Then she said, "There's one thing that I don't know if I should tell you, Your Majesty."
"Say it. What is it?" Lin Muyu asked in surprise.
Situ Xue said, "Recently, Cloud King Su Muyun adopted a son called Luo Xin. His cultivation is at the Holy King Realm. He consecutively defeated Zhang Wei, my brother Situ Sen, and Commander Feng Jixing in Ze Tian Palace."
"He defeated Big Brother Feng?" Lin Muyu was slightly stunned. "That's impossible. Big Brother Feng's cultivation is very pure. Even if his opponent is at the Holy King Realm, he might not be able to defeat him, right?"
"Maybe it's because General Feng didn't eat his fill that day." Situ Xue's expression turned cold. Then she said, "This Luo Xin was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Steel Blade Army by Su Muyun. Three days ago, he led five thousand soldiers of the Steel Blade Army to seize the Profound Gold Mine on Mountain Qi and killed all the two thousand mercenaries that Xu Jiantao hired to guard the mine. Xu Jiantao was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Now … this mountain is guarded by three thousand soldiers of the Steel Blade Army."
"The Mountain Qi Profound Gold Mine was lost?"
Lin Muyu was burning with anger. Her fists were surrounded by King's Fighting Flame. She said, "Where did this Luo Xin come from? How dare he be so bold … What is Su Muyun thinking?"
Situ Xue said, "In the territory of the Empire, there was no Mountain Qi at all. This Mountain Qi is actually shared by Yunzhong Province and Cangnan Province. In order to save the manpower of the Longdan Army Camp, Xu Jiantao did not send the Longdan Army Camp to Mountain Qi. He only hired a group of mercenaries to guard the mountain. This gave Su Muyun an excuse. He claimed that he had wiped out the mountain bandits that occupied the mine. A day ago, he asked His Highness for a decree to directly transfer Mountain Qi to Yunzhong Province. We suffered a loss for nothing."
As she said this, Situ Xue paused. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger. Then she said, "Luo Xin's strength is very strong. He has repeatedly challenged the generals in the Empire. Except for Xiang Yu, the Marquis of Pingnan, he has challenged almost all the strong generals in the Empire."
"What about Big Brother Feng?"
"Him …" Situ Jin could not help but laugh. "General Feng went to the Yunzhong Palace to challenge Luo Xin after he was full. However, Luo Xin closed the door and refused to fight. He avoided General Feng's challenge time and time again. I heard that … there are rumors in the Empire that Luo Xin is already the strongest in the Empire …"
"Strongest in the Empire?" Lin Muyu laughed. "With Qu and Qin Han around, who does he think he is?"
"Are you going to the Yunzhong Palace to challenge Luo Xin?"
"There's no need."
Lin Muyu said, "Once the news of my return to Lanyan City spreads, Luo Xin will definitely take the initiative to find me. Only by defeating me can he really be the strongest!"
"Yes!"
…
After entering Ze Tian Palace to hand in the order and having dinner with Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi, Lin Muyu brought the two hundred staff members of the Holy Palace back to the Holy Palace to hand in the order. The mighty group of people attracted the attention of the people on Tongtian Street.
The Holy Palace was brightly lit.
Ge Yang held a scroll in his hand and was reading a section of a martial art mental cultivation method. Xuanyuan Hong sat at the side with his eyes closed in an elderly manner. There was a hint of a leisurely smile on his lips.
"Lin Muyu pays her respects to the Great Deacon! Greetings to Deacon Ge Yang! "
"Oh? Yu is back! "
Xuanyuan Hong stood up and glanced at Lin Muyu and the others. He smiled. "It seems that Yu's cultivation has improved after this trip."
"It's alright."
Lin Muyu smiled modestly. She said to Xuanyuan Hong, "Great Deacon, I have something to discuss with you and Deacon Ge Yang alone."
"Oh, then come to the side palace."
"Yes!"
When there were only three people in the side palace, Lin Muyu took out the scroll she had written and said, "Great Deacon, please take a look and see if this mental cultivation method is feasible."
"Oh?"
Xuanyuan Hong received the scroll doubtfully. As he read it, the doubt on his face gradually dissipated and was replaced by ecstasy. He raised his head and asked, "Yu, did you write this mental cultivation method? This … how mysterious! "
Lin Muyu answered honestly, "This is the remnant scroll of the Forging Dragon Bone that Elder Qu once gave me. I've modified and simplified it to become this. It's quite effective in cleansing the meridians and marrow. If Great Deacon thinks that it's feasible, this mental cultivation technique can be used as a cultivation technique in the Holy Sanctum. Any Silver Star Sparring Master or instructor can practice it."
"Good!"
Xuanyuan Hong handed the scroll to Ge Yang as if he had received a treasure.
At this moment, a Holy Palace guard suddenly rushed in. He seemed to be in a sorry state. He said, "Great Deacon, someone wants to challenge Lady Lin Muyu in the Holy Palace. He claims to be Luo Xin from the Cloud King Residence!"
"So fast?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. "Alright, it's time for me to see this Luo Xin!"
