"Array up!" Zhao Yiyang shouted calmly. The subordinates drew their sabers and quickly and vigilantly stood guard around the elephant.
The sensory elephant raised its head and screamed, accompanied by the sound of the bell on its neck that vibrated in all directions.
The flying demon in mid-air suffered an invisible impact, its wings were twisted, and its movements were erratic. Zhao Yilan flew out of the protection, jumped up and down on the elephant's back and drew out his sword.
He raised his sword and flew forward to attack, killing the demon in the air with one strike. Zhao Yilan turned around and ordered: "Recuperate immediately and enter protection."
"Yes." The subordinates obeyed.
Zhao Yiyang jumped down and held Su Rui down. They entered the defense together with people and elephants.
Not long after a group of people entered the protection, a black mass of flying demons descended. They flew towards the demon corpse and cannibalized it in an instant.
Seeing people, the demon group rushed towards the protection. Silent and sound, the protection is solid. The demon group launched attacks one after another, with shrill and harsh cries.
Zhao Yilan and the others stood ready, keeping a close eye on the demon group, fearing that the protection would be breached. Then we can only fight.
When no one was paying attention, Su Rui quietly retreated to the pavilion. She pressed her hand on the orb, injecting more power into the protection.
After finishing it, Su Rui walked to Zhu Qinghong and nodded. Zhu Qinghong whispered, signaling for Gao Chen and others to make arrangements.
Su Rui nodded and sent a message to Gao Chen through the mecha chat system. The other party receives the message and replies within seconds.
The group of demons continued to attack and defend, and Zhao Yilan and the others' hearts were in their throats. Unexpectedly, the next moment, the group of demons that collided violently exploded.
Circles of white light flashed across the protective surface, floating like ripples on water.
Layer after layer, the monsters are injured.
One after another, demon corpses fell and spread all over the ground. They looked at the shield in shock and saw the white light on it gradually fading.
"Don't be nervous." Su Rui explained, "Our country's priests have great magical powers. The more fierce the demon attacks, the greater the backlash they will suffer."
Zhu Qinghong glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
He actually had the nerve to praise himself seriously.
Su Rui raised her eyebrows and smiled playfully, quite proudly.
"I really want to see such a powerful priest." Zhao Yiyang turned around and said, "It is not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"Lingxi County is not far away. Are you two gentlemen willing to go and have a chat?" Su Rui stepped forward and looked at Zhao Yiyang with a smile.
With the beautiful and charming face in front of him, Zhao Yiyang took a step back and said uncomfortably: "I'd like to help you, young lady, to lead the way."
"It doesn't matter. The young master is a guest from afar." Su Rui walked away and took Zhu Qinghong's arm. "Sister, let's go first."
After nodding and greeting Zhao Yilan, Zhu Qinghong and Su Rui led the way.
Zhao Yilan led people to hold the sensory image and follow him.
Although it is not far from Lingxi County, it is still a day's journey. Seeing that they were tired from walking, Zhao Yiyang invited them to sit on the back of the elephant.
There is limited light at night, so we can only stay out for one night. The next day, a group of people walked to a tea stall to have a rest and have something to eat.
Zhao Yiyang called the waiter at the store and asked, "What credentials are needed to enter the city? Are outside businessmen welcome?"
The waiter smiled and said: "Of course you are welcome. Several guests have come from afar, just register at the city gate."
"Register?" Zhao Yiyang put down a piece of gold and said, "What should I pay attention to when entering the city? I hope you can generously answer my questions."
"Young Master, you're welcome." The waiter quickly put away the gold, "Register when you enter the city. After entering the city, find your accommodation and go to the Yamen to report your itinerary. Follow the laws in the city and don't cause trouble. Judging from the gentleness of the Young Master, I guess he is not a troublemaker. I wish you the best on your journey. Fair wind.”
Zhao Yiyang raised his hand. The waiter quickly stepped back.
Su Rui covered her lips and snickered: "Young master, why should you abandon the near and seek the far away and ask others?"
"Rui'er, Mr. Zhao acted prudently, and there is nothing wrong with it." Zhu Qinghong nodded apologetically, "Young Master, please forgive me."
Su Rui turned her head and looked away unconvinced.
Zhao Yiyang hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "I thought the two girls were tired and should rest more. How dare I bother you with such a trivial matter. Miss Su has a straightforward temper and will say whatever she wants. I didn't think it through carefully. I don't blame her."
"That's right. Sister, why do you always speak for them?" Su Rui hugged Zhu Qinghong's arm and said coquettishly, "Rui'er refuses."
"Sister is wrong." Zhu Qinghong touched her head, "Sister, I apologize to you. Rui'er, can you forgive me?"
"Yes." Su Rui smiled happily, "My sister is the best to me. I don't want to be angry with my sister."
Seeing that the two sisters had a good relationship, Zhao Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief. After resting, they entered the city.
Zhao Yilan and others registered one by one at the city gate, one paper registration form and the other scanned by the doctor hat robot. After scanning, the machine spits out city entry tokens, one for each person.
"Keep the token safe. Recycle it when you leave the city." Su Rui smiled mysteriously, "With the token, you are guests. Without the token, it is illegal intrusion. According to the laws of our court, it can range from imprisonment to beheading. Be careful if you come. There is no place to go, and my bones are buried in a foreign land.”
"Don't listen to her alarmist talk to scare you." Zhu Qinghong said helplessly, "Just go to the Yamen to get a replacement if you lose it."
Seeing that they were frightened, Su Rui found it funny. She frowned: "Where do you two young masters plan to stay?"
Zhao Yiyang thought about it: "Looking for an inn. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the place. Let's find a place to stay first."
"How about staying at my house?" Su Rui invited, "Thank you for taking care of our sisters on the way."
For a moment, Zhao Yiyang hesitated: "Isn't it good? The two girls also helped us, so we really don't need to worry about it."
"That's it." Su Rui pointed forward happily, "My house is over there, you guys should follow me quickly."
The person had already moved forward, and Zhao Yiyang had no chance to speak. Zhao Yilan glanced at them and said, "Let's see what they want to do."
The two walked in front. Zhu Qinghong whispered: "It's not right for us two women to be alone outside."
"I will show some strength appropriately." Su Rui's lips raised, "I won't be weak, but I won't be much stronger either."
"You have to figure it out yourself." Zhu Qinghong folded his clothes and said, "try to collect as much information as possible. There must be a lot of animals like sentient elephants. Take a look at it slowly and treat it as a business negotiation first. If you pay, there will be more. Big payoff.”
"Understood." Su Rui stopped in front of a house.
The word "Su Mansion" is written on the plaque, and the courtyard you enter is quite large.
Su Rui turned around and greeted: "My home is here, come quickly. Dad, Mom, we are back."
The concierge immediately came up to greet you and saluted: "I would like to welcome you two girls back to your home. My husband and wife heard that you have been back recently and have been waiting for you."
Holding Zhu Qinghong's arm, Su Rui entered the house with a smile on her face.
The concierge bowed to invite Zhao Yilan and others into the house, and the housekeeper came to welcome the guests.
The main hall of the mansion.
The beard-twisting gentleman and the loving lady were overjoyed. The lady looked at Su Rui: "My son is back."
"Mom, my sister and I are fine, don't worry." Su Rui saw Zhao Yilan and his entourage coming in and hurriedly introduced, "We met them on the road. They took good care of us along the way. Dad, they want to meet the prefect, do you want to Find a way."
Zhao Yilan and Zhao Yiyang saluted the two elders. The old man puffed his beard and glared: "The prefect can see you whenever you want?"
"Dad, please help them." Su Rui grabbed the master's arm and shook it, "Uncle loves me and will agree."
"Look, look, I'm spoiled by you." The master said angrily, "Your uncle has been very busy recently."
"Why are you so busy?" Gao Chen came in with a group of people, "I heard that Rui'er was back, so I came here to take a look."
Zhu Qinghong stepped aside, with a slight smile on his face. Zhao Yilan and Zhao Yiyang did not expect that the prefect was so young.
Su Rui hurriedly pulled Gao Chen to the Zhao brothers: "Uncle, they are Mr. Zhao. They are kind to me."
"Okay, okay." Gao Chen smiled kindly, "You know how to act coquettishly with your uncle, and you don't even look at who is coming with you? You two have decided to get married early, and it is only right to choose a day to get married. Yan Mi, don't you keep talking about Rui'er? When will you be back? Why don't you come over and meet me."
Yan Mi gasped. He only knows how to act, not this kind of drama.
At this point, he could only bite the bullet.
Yan Mi stepped forward with a smile and said affectionately: "Rui'er, you are finally back. I miss you all the time."
Su Rui glanced over, and Yan Mi shivered reflexively. She smiled and hooked his arm: "Brother Mi, I miss you too."
His whole body was stiff, Yan Mi was smiling but not smiling. When the matter is over, will the commander really not kill him to silence him?
Zhao Yiyang looked unhappy and stared at Yan Mi and Su Rui with deep eyes. Zhao Yilan glanced at him. Zhao Yiyang immediately suppressed his emotions and lowered his eyes.
Zhu Qinghong noticed the dispute between the two of them. It was his elder brother who made the decision when something happened.
The master smiled and said: "The prefect is here in person, but I am not welcome from afar. Come and take a seat. Come, serve tea."
Gao Chen took his seat.
Zhu Qinghong saluted: "Second uncle, Qinghong is feeling a little unwell. I want to go down and rest first."
"Are you okay?" Madam asked with concern, "It's so pitiful. Rui'er, why don't you take your cousin to rest?"
"Sister, let's go." Su Rui happily pulled Zhu Qinghong. Yan Mi bowed respectfully and chased the sisters out.
Walking to the corridor, Su Rui glanced at Yan Mi: "I won the assessment and lived up to my high expectations. Is the other person Jiu Xi?"
Yan Mi took a step back and bent down, holding his hands in his hands: "Yes. Miss Yingcai, Lord Bai, and my brother are all here."
Su Rui nodded: "Tell Bai Shifeng and your brother. Find opportunities to create chance encounters and get in touch with this group of people. Only by finding out what they are interested in can we proceed to the next step. Make a deal first and establish contact with their city. ."
Zhu Qinghong looked at Yan Mi, smiled and joked: "Yan Mi, how does it feel to be Rui'er's fiance?"
"I'm scared." Yan Mi was horrified, "I don't dare to have any wrong thoughts about Commander Su. I just want to complete the mission."
"Don't you dare?" Su Rui took a step closer, "Am I so scary? You were not like this when you were confident that you wanted to challenge me."
Yan Mi swallowed.
He was wrong, he really didn't dare.
Especially after witnessing Commander Su's castration, few men dared to do so. Although the beauty is beautiful, it is life-threatening.
Can't afford to offend, really can't afford to offend. Don’t you see that Lord Wei Xuanyu is trying to avoid him? Scared.
"If they are not interested in things in the city." Zhu Qinghong reached out and patted Yan Mi on the shoulder, "Take them to the fields to have a look. The rice outside the city should be growing just right. Who wouldn't be greedy? People depend on food. I believe they will be tempted.”
"Yes." Yan Mi lowered his head. His Majesty's formation of a mecha army is indeed a big move.
The war is coming.
