As if feeling something, Longyi raised his head and looked up. Then, his eyes flashed and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"All of you, stop." The general on the city wall shouted in a hoarse voice. Then, he flew down from the city wall along with the guards behind him.
"General." The soldiers surrounding Longyi and his group immediately withdrew their weapons and respectfully saluted this general.
Longyi looked at this general with a playful expression and said with a mischievous smile: "We meet again."
This general nodded his head and his gaze swept behind Longyi. His gaze clearly lingered on Leng Youyou and Bull for a longer time.
"You all come with me." This general indifferently said. Then, he turned around and led Longyi and his group towards the city lord's mansion.
Generally, after the city lord's mansion was captured, it would be occupied by the highest ranking general of the garrison army. It could be assumed that this general was the highest ranking general of this first-tier city.
After entering the luxurious hall, this general called for people to serve tea. After that, he waved his hand and sat on the sofa while staring at Longyi.
"How should I address you?" Long Yi looked face to face with this general.
"When there is no one else, you can call me Ha Lei." A trace of fluctuation appeared in the eyes of this general.
Hearing the name Ha Lei, both Leng Youyou and Bull were shocked and looked at this general with vigilance.
Longyi laughed heartily and said: "Ha Lei ah Ha Lei, you finally admitted it. I really want to know, how did you escape from Lost City at that time."
Ha Lei took off his helmet, and unexpectedly he was still wearing a black headscarf, revealing only his eyes and mouth. He picked up a cup of tea and slowly sipped a mouthful. His mannerisms unexpectedly revealed a hint of noble aura and elegance, which somewhat surprised Long Yi.
"As for how I escaped, I have my own way." Ha Lei slowly said. Then, he raised his eyes and asked: "The mission of Lightning God Forbidden Area was completed by you, right?"
"What do you think?" Longyi was startled. Then, he turned around and said with a smile, neither admitting nor denying.
"Under the heavens, only you, Young Master Ximen, can complete this mission." Ha Lei said with a hoarse smile.
"You really think highly of me. How about following me from now on?" Longyi stared at Ha Lei with a smile on his face. but an invisible pressure instantly enveloped Ha Lei.
The pupils of Ha Lei shrunk, and his expression became aghast. He had never thought that in just half a year, Long Yi's strength would become so powerful. The aura emitted from Long Yi's body was that of a top powerhouse. Fortunately, Long Yi's pressure had only touched him for a moment before retreating, and didn't embarrass Ha Lei.
"Young master Ximen must be joking …" Ha Lei embarrassedly smiled. he clearly, he didn't expect Longyi of Of his eyes.
Of. of of of of the future, of the. of. Who will be the winner is still unknown. "Ha Lei said with a hoarse smile. His expression made Longyi endlessly suspicious.
"Since that is the case, I will not force you. General Ha Lei has many matters to attend to. It is inconvenient for us to stay for a long time. Farewell." Longyi stood up and said while staring into Ha Lei's eyes.
"Then, I will also not force Young Master Ximen to stay. Young Master Ximen, farewell." Ha Lei stood up and sent Long Yi off.
After leaving the city lord mansion, the smile on Longyi's face disappeared. He had a pensive look on his face. The reason why he had tried to recruit Ha Lei was merely to probe him. He didn't really want him to join him. It was impossible for a person like Ha Lei to stay by his side.
After strolling twice in the city, they found a private room of a restaurant and sat down. After that, Longyi asked, "You you, don't you feel that Ha Lei, as a member of the dark force behind Long Zhan, suddenly intervening in the army is somewhat strange?"
"It is also very normal. It is also reasonable for Long Zhan to arrange a few people of the dark force in the army." You you thought for a bit and said.
"Is that so? Don't you feel that the dark force behind Long Zhan has arranged too many people? Long Zhan trusts them so much. Could it be that he is really muddle-headed? How can he allow others to control the army? "Longyi's eyes shone as he said. It seemed as though he had found a clue.
"What you said is also reasonable. My husband, you mean that the dark force behind Long Zhan isn't as respectful to Long Zhan as they appear on the surface?" Leng You you immediately understood.
"Yes, if my guess is correct, I am afraid that the dark force behind Long Zhan has also arranged people of the dark force behind Long Zhan in the Condor Legion. Once the two legions lose control, one can well imagine the fate of Long Zhan. It seems like the true enemy of our Ximen Clan is the Long Clan." Longyi muttered.
"You all wait here for a moment. I have something to do." Longyi got up and said. After opening the door of the private room, he went downstairs.
There weren't many people in the restaurant. Most of them were traveling merchants. The manager with a long beard was sitting on the counter and looking at the account book.
"Shopkeeper, where is your toilet? Take me there. "Longyi knocked on the table and asked.
The manager raised his head. Just when he was about to instruct the waiter beside him to take Longyi to the toilet, he suddenly saw Longyi's hand on the table making a strange gesture. He was startled for a moment before returning to normal. Then, he said, "Young Master, please follow me. The toilet is in the backyard."
The manager led Longyi to the backyard. After making sure that there was no one around, he entered a study room. The shopkeeper knocked on a vase twice, and a magic door disguised as a wall silently opened.
"Skynet No. 3880 pays respect to Young Master." After entering the secret room, the manager immediately knelt down on one knee and respectfully greeted Long Zhan.
"Get up. Do you have any information for me recently?" Longyi asked.
"Yes, Young Master, please wait a moment." The shopkeeper rummaged through a box in the corner of the secret room and took out two bamboo tubes whose seals had not yet been opened.
Longyi pinched the seals and opened the secret letters. One of them was sent by his father, Ximen Huo. The time was three months ago. Ximen Huo told him to go to the battlefield after completing the Lightning God Forbidden Area mission. The second letter was from Yin Jian, who established the Skynet Intelligence Division in the Hengduan Mountains. It talked about the unusual recruitment and mobilization of the beast-men race.
Longyi paced back and forth in the secret room twice. From the information sent by Yin Jian, his previous guess about the beast-men race should be true. However, he didn't know whether the beast-men race was in cahoots with the Proud Moon Empire. As for Ximen Huo wanting him to go to the battlefield, Longyi had a headache. This war definitely wouldn't end in a day or two. If that was the case, then the time to go to the Huangmang Plain would be delayed indefinitely. However, Beiyang Yu had already grown up. There was no difference between her and Wu Shuang's Battalion. Besides, the current situation was relatively stable. As long as they broke through the Yatesianna defense line of the Proud Moon Empire, this war would almost be over. Next, it would be time to divide the cake with the Nalan Empire.
However, breaking through the Yatesianna defense line wasn't an easy matter. The military expenditure and rations needed to fight a war wasn't small. The longer the war dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Violent Dragon Empire and the Nalan Empire. Moreover, it was already winter. The Proud Moon Empire was located in the north and the weather was very cold. The soldiers of the Violent Dragon Empire and the Nalan Empire would definitely not be able to adapt to the cold. If they all fell sick, it would be troublesome.
In an instant, Longyi thought of many things. He wrote two secret letters and sealed them. Then, he asked the innkeeper to deliver them to Soaring Dragon City and the Hengduan Mountains. It seemed that he had to make a trip to the Yatesianna defense line. It would be best if he could break through the enemy's defenses. However, if he couldn't break the deadlock, he would go to the Huangmang Plain first.
After leaving the secret room, Longyi returned to the private room of the restaurant. At this moment, all the dishes were already on the table, waiting for him to start eating.
After eating and drinking to their heart's content, Longyi and the others left the restaurant. At this moment, the sky had already turned dusky. A chilly wind blew and the cold weather of the north slowly appeared.
"It's late. Why don't we stay here for the night?" Longyi said.
The others naturally didn't have any objections.
After asking for the address of the Phoenix Inn, Longyi led everyone there. He couldn't help but think of Yu Feng's charming face. She, the Patriarch of the Phoenix Family, and Qiu Fu had gone to the Blazing Mountains for a long time. He didn't know whether they had returned or not. It would be good if they had returned. He really missed that girl.
Stepping into the Phoenix Inn, Longyi asked for three luxurious suites. This place belonged to the war zone. Therefore, the business of the inn wasn't very good. Now that someone asked for three luxurious suites, the innkeeper was beaming with joy and became very enthusiastic.
"Innkeeper, have your Patriarch and Eldest Miss returned from their business?" Longyi suddenly asked.
The innkeeper looked at Longyi in a daze and said with an embarrassed smile, "How can we, the servants, ask about the matters of the Patriarch and Eldest Miss?"
"Hehe, innkeeper doesn't need to worry. I have a very special relationship with your Eldest Miss." Long Yi said and made a hand gesture. This was what Yu Feng had secretly taught him.
The innkeeper's eyes flashed, revealing a look of understanding. He lowered his voice and said, "The Patriarch returned a few months ago, but there is no news of the Eldest Miss."
Longyi raised his eyebrows. Thinking that the innkeeper wouldn't lie, he nodded and led everyone upstairs.
The Patriarch of the Phoenix Family returned, but Yu Feng didn't return. How could this be? Did something happen?
Each luxurious suite had three separate rooms. Originally, it was agreed that Longyi and Bull would share a suite, while Leng Youyou and Feng Ling would share a suite, Wu Shuang and Nalan Ruyue would share a suite. However, according to Longyi's character, this seemed unlikely. The four women also knew this, but who would Longyi go to?
At this time, Longyi was soaking in a large bathtub in the bathroom with his eyes closed. Dense water vapor floated in the bathroom, making Longyi's handsome face appear hazy.
