Of course, before going to find Zuo Feng, Yang Rui still had to bring back Gao Shun and the rest of the Knights and Bandit leaders.
Actually, one of the reasons why Yang Rui had cut off all contact with the outside world was because Dashan City really needed some time to recuperate. Especially with the help of Sun Qian and the other two territories' ultimate support skills, it was equivalent to using a top-tier efficiency scroll. Of course, he had to make good use of this opportunity.
"My Lord, there's something that I haven't had the time to tell you. In the past few days, more than ten babies have been born in Grand Mountain City, and there are still many pregnant women waiting to give birth. The number of babies born this month is likely to reach hundreds!"
Wang Hai took advantage of Yang Rui's free time to inform him.
"Oh? So fast? That's good news! "
Of course, Yang Rui knew that there were many women in Big Mountain City who needed to concentrate on giving birth. It was just that he hadn't had the time to pay attention to this matter recently. He didn't expect that time would fly by. It felt like it had only been a few days, but now it was already the due date.
Increasing the number of babies was a great thing for Dashan City, but if it was spread to other system territories or player territories, it would be a huge burden. The current drought and war had lasted for almost a year, and many places were already having trouble surviving.
"Of course! Plus, it's the end of the year, so Dashan City can be said to have double happiness … "Wang Hai said.
"Good! Good … "
At this time, Yang Rui just realized that he had reentered the game for such a long time, and he didn't expect it to be only seven years. It was the first year of the Zhongping Era, and Yang Rui spent it in the land of the Xiongnu. It was the night when Yang Rui crossed the desert and raided the Xiongnu core tent of the Xubu Tribe.
"Ensure that the newly born women and babies are provided with food, cotton clothes, and other necessities. Women who have given birth are not allowed to do any work for a month. To ensure the health of themselves and their babies! "Yang Rui continued.
Although there were still refugees and disaster victims in the game, the system had already updated the population to increase naturally. Therefore, it could be said that the number of new people directly determined the prosperity of the territory in the future.
The arrival of this batch of newborns filled Yang Rui with a sense of accomplishment. The Liegeman in Grand Mountain City was recruited by him one by one. Yang Rui was very gratified that they were able to live and work peacefully in Grand Mountain City and even have children in this chaotic world.
"Thank you for your benevolence, my lord!"
After Wang Hai thanked him, he went to make arrangements. Yang Rui and Sun Qian talked for a while. Yang Rui left Sun Qian in Grand Mountain City for the time being to assist in the activities in the territory. Then, he brought along Cheng Yu, Zhang Ning, eight hundred Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade Archers, eighty Beginner Generals, and sixty newly advanced Warriors. They rode the Flying Carpet to meet up with Gao Shun and the others.
Yang Rui chose to separate at night. Before he left, he first revived the two hundred soldiers of various grades that he had lost in the punitive expedition against the Xiongnu. Moreover, as usual, he did not pass through Juping County, but instead went in the direction of Wenshui to the neighboring county of Dong'e. Along the way, Yang Rui only stopped at Pond of Reeds Village. After meeting Sun Bao and the others, he left.
After arriving at Dong Ah County, Yang Rui quickly used the Teleportation Formation in the city to teleport to Dai County. He was worried about the safety of Gao Shun and the others. As such, Yang Rui immediately rushed toward the Gate of Yanmen after exiting the teleportation array. The meeting point he had agreed to meet with Gao Shun was at the Gate of Yanmen.
For Yang Rui, who had the Flying Carpet, the Gate of Yanmen wasn't too far away from Dai County. After rushing with all his might, Yang Rui quickly arrived at the Gate of Yanmen in the dark. However, this time, the soldiers guarding the gate refused to let Yang Rui pass no matter what.
Supposedly, Yang Rui had only passed through the Gate of Yanmen once before. Only a little more than a day had passed. Moreover, Yang Rui had bribed the soldiers at the gate at the time. It wasn't unreasonable for them to let Yang Rui pass. However, Yang Rui had come at the wrong time. It was basically impossible to pass through the gate at night, even if the soldiers knew that Yang Rui was the Governor of Qing Province.
Yang Rui relied on his status to be allowed to enter the gate and spend the night at the Gate of Yanmen. The Gate of Yanmen was no less dangerous than the mountain city's Ao Lai Peak. It could be said that there was only one path for several hundred li. It wasn't that Yang Rui couldn't force his way through, but he had already left his name behind, so it wasn't appropriate to use force. Moreover, the matter of receiving Gao Shun hadn't reached the point where it couldn't be delayed. As a result, Yang Rui gave up on the idea.
After spending the night there, Yang Rui learned a lot about the situation around the Gate of Yanmen. Normally, NPC soldiers wouldn't talk too much with Inhumans. However, Yang Rui was the Governor of Qing Province and a Deputy General. Although his position was somewhat empty, he was still someone with status. In addition, Yang Rui took out some of the specialty drinks and food from Big Mountain City. The NPC soldier told Yang Rui a lot about the situation around the Gate of Yanmen.
This included the fact that many player forces had recently appeared in and out of the Gate of Yanmen. It was very likely that they were competing for resources. Yang Rui had heard the soldier mention this before. However, at that time, Yang Rui had been busy defending Big Mountain City and hadn't been in the mood to pay attention to this matter. Now that he heard the soldier mention it again, Yang Rui took it to heart.
Early the next morning, Yang Rui left the moment he cleared the Gate of Yanmen. He used the Flying Carpet and went straight to the southwest to look for traces of Gao Shun and the others. If nothing unexpected happened, Gao Shun should be near the Gate of Yanmen.
It was worth mentioning that when Yang Rui left, there were indeed many players in and out of the Gate of Yanmen. Many of them knew each other, but it was obvious that they were not from the same player forces. It seemed that there was a very high possibility that a valuable target had appeared outside the Gate of Yanmen.
The process of looking for Gao Shun was very smooth. In less than two hours after Yang Rui left the Gate of Yanmen, he found Gao Shun and the others on the banks of the Yellow River. After meeting up with Gao Shun, Yang Rui gave him a few simple instructions and left again. Anyway, there weren't many obstacles in the way to the Gate of Yanmen. According to the speed of the cavalry, they could reach it in half a day. Yang Rui wanted to use this half a day to investigate what valuable resources the nearby player forces had found outside the Gate of Yanmen.
Yang Rui returned to the outside of the Gate of Yanmen again and happened to see a group of more than 20 players coming out of the gate. He followed them from afar. Yang Rui did not have any way to hide himself, nor did he use the Flying Carpet. This group of players quickly discovered Yang Rui's presence and tried to drive away and shake off Yang Rui. However, with Yang Rui's speed, the other party could not catch up nor shake him off. In the end, they had no choice but to accept Yang Rui's presence.
Soon, Yang Rui followed the group of players for more than a hundred miles and stopped in front of an open area in front of a mountain. Before Yang Rui and the others arrived, there were already hundreds of players gathered in a small forest in this open area. As far as the eye could see, there were densely packed human heads everywhere.
"You Inhumans are very annoying. I was about to capture the horse, but because of your disturbance, it escaped …"
"Young hero, there is no need to be angry. We will go and capture the horse and give it to you as a gift …"
"Hmph! I don't know how many times I've heard you Inhumans say this, but I've never seen anyone who can do it. With your strength, you can only move your mouth! Hahaha! "
"This … Young hero, you have something to say …"
"Hmph! When you can really capture the horse, you can talk to me about other things! "
“.....”
At this time, there were many players gathered, and it was obvious that they were not from the same faction. Yang Rui squeezed through the crowd. With Yang Rui's current strength, naturally, no one could stop him. However, when Yang Rui squeezed into the center of the crowd, he realized that it was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old NPC arguing with a group of players.
The NPC in the field was handsome and strong. What an elegant young man! Although he was young, he was not at a disadvantage when arguing with the crowd. What's going on? Before Yang Rui could ask, the whispers of the surrounding players gave Yang Rui the answer.
"… We finally caught this young man today, but I don't know if the news is accurate. He doesn't look like Zhang Liao!"
"Sigh! Whether or not he is Zhang Liao doesn't mean much to us. I didn't expect the news to spread so quickly. Didn't you see that the top ten Xia Bang and CU Alliance have sent people over? Small fries like us don't stand much of a chance. I hope he isn't Zhang Liao … "
"…"
The young man in front of them was Zhang Liao?! It turned out that these players were not looking for resources. They were here for Zhang Liao, a famous historical general!
After Yang Rui learned of these players' goal, he quietly squeezed out of the crowd. He found a hidden place in the forest and released Zhang Ning and Cheng Yu from the storage ring. When Yang Rui learned of the situation, he was very excited. If that young man was really Zhang Liao, Yang Rui would definitely try to capture him!
"Mr. Cheng, help me! The young man surrounded in the crowd is very likely a rare talent. If I'm not wrong, his ability should be on par with Gao Shun … "
Yang Rui and Cheng Yu had known each other for a long time and were very familiar with each other. Thus, he introduced the important points of the situation to him.
"Eh? This young man is a good seed. He has the power of a peak advanced general at such a young age. He's even a bit stronger than Blazing Sun, but he can't be compared to Gao Shun … "
Cheng Yu's ability to read people was needless to say. He only needed to look at the young man for a bit to grasp his strength. However, the result of his examination was quite different from Yang Rui's guess.
"Could it be that this person isn't Zhang Liao …"
Yang Rui guessed.
