In the quiet wilderness, the spring breeze blows slowly, swaying the grass and trees.
Occasionally, birds fly by, piercing the sky, and emitting crisp and sweet chirps.
On the distant road, a carriage was speeding along.
"Uu——!"
Following the driver's order, the carriage slowly stopped, and two men and one woman got out of the carriage, it was Lin Yu and Liu Yang.
Lin Yu glanced at the land in the distance, then looked at Liu Yang and Ye Yuxin, and said.
"Alright, Liu Yang, Shopkeeper Ye, the border of Tianyun is just ahead. I will send you here today."
Ye Yuxin also apologized to Lin Yu and said, "Master Lin, I'm really sorry that you came back from Zhen'an City again because of us."
Lin Yu smiled and said: "Haha, let's not talk about this between us."
"Okay, I'll leave first, and you should hurry up and get on your way. When you return to Tianyun, there will naturally be Black Cloud Guards to pick you up."
Ye Yuxin nodded: "Well, Mr. Lin, you should be careful in Dongchu."
"OK."
"Lin Yu!"
As soon as Lin Yu turned around, Liu Yang suddenly stopped him behind him.
Hearing Liu Yang's cry, Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Liu Yang with a puzzled face.
"Liu Yang, is there anything else?"
Liu Yang looked at Lin Yu with a grateful face and said, "Lin Yu, thank you very much for all the time!"
Lin Yu looked at Liu Yang, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and then quickly recovered.
Finally, he smiled and waved to the two of them: "Okay, there's no need to say any more. Take care of yourself along the way. We'll see you again by chance!"
"See you soon!" Liu Yang and Ye Yuxin said in unison.
…
Tianducheng, main street.
At this time, although night has fallen, the main street of Tiandu City is still bustling with activity.
The lights on the street are bright and brilliant, and tall buildings stand among them, just like daytime, and the streets are bustling with people passing by.
The streets and alleys are full of wine shops and tea houses. There are shouts and sounds of singing and dancing coming from various shops, which is a scene of prosperity.
In the west of Tiandu City, compared to the bustling main city, it is much quieter.
There is a luxurious manor covering an area of more than ten acres, rockery, running water and a huge pond.
The manor is surrounded by high walls, and a large number of soldiers armed with spears guard it, and no one is allowed to approach.
This place is called "Wanguo Hotel" and was specially built by the Eastern Chu Dynasty to entertain foreign guests.
In the manor, in the magnificent room.
A beautiful girl is sitting quietly on the chair holding a metal disk.
This girl is none other than Nangong Xuan, the leader of the Yuanyan Star Mission.
At this time, Nangong Xuan was concentrating on the light curtain emitted from the circle. The content in the light curtain seemed to be a map.
"Lord Xuan!"
Two men and one woman walked in outside the house, and immediately saluted Nangong Xuan after entering the house.
The three of them were all wearing uniform silver clothing and looked to be in their twenties.
Seeing these three people coming in, Nangong Xuan put down the disk, stood up and looked at them.
"You are here."
Her voice is soft and clear, making people feel as peaceful and soothing as being purified by a clear spring.
Nangong Xuan asked with a smile: "Leo, how is the investigation of this country going?"
"It's roughly checked."
The man in the middle of the three replied.
"Master Xuan, according to our investigation, this country focuses on martial arts practice but does not pay attention to the most basic technological development. Its civilization level is still stuck in the oldest era of using human and animal power. It can be said that the entire Dongchu Empire is a primitive society."
Nangong Xuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand the situation. Thank you for your hard work."
Leo quickly replied: "It is our honor to serve Master Xuan."
At this time, the thin girl next to Leo asked Nangong Xuan with doubts on her face.
"Lord Xuan, I don't quite understand why we should cooperate with such a backward indigenous civilization?"
Nangong Xuan smiled brightly and said.
"Hua Ai, we are a foreign force after all. It is somewhat inconvenient to operate in other people's territory. It would be great to have the support of local forces."
The girl pouted and said, "But I think they don't seem to be sincere in cooperating with us at all."
Nangong Xuan smiled and said: "Hua Ai, after all, this is the first time that the other party has come into contact with an alien civilization like ours, so it is understandable that he has concerns."
"But……"
"Huaai!"
Just as the girl was about to continue saying something, she was stopped by Leo on the side.
Afterwards, Leo raised his hand to Nangong Xuan and said, "Lord Xuan, I want to arrange the security around the manor, so I will leave first."
Nangong Xuan nodded: "You have worked hard today, so take a good rest after finishing your work."
"yes!"
After Leo responded, he pulled the girl beside him and left the room.
When the girl left, she still looked reluctant.
"Hey, just leave, why are you holding me back? I still want to chat with Master Xuan for a while!"
"Ms. Xuan is already very tired today, so let's not disturb her anymore."
Seeing this situation, Nangong Xuan could only helplessly shake her head.
…
Yuezhou, Qingyuan Prefecture, Luoshan City.
At dusk, Lin Yu wore a thick black cloak and walked on the streets of the city.
After driving for a day, Lin Yu finally left Wulong Mansion and arrived at Luoshan City in Qingyuan Mansion.
Luoshan City is located in the west of Qingyuan Prefecture. Due to many mountains and little land, transportation is inconvenient, so it is not very developed. It can be said to be one of the poorest places in Yuezhou.
Lin Yu took a general glance at the street. Although there were some shops and vendors on the street, there were not many customers. There were only a few people in twos and threes, which seemed very deserted.
Even though Lin Yu had some understanding of the situation in Luoshan City before coming to Luoshan City, the deserted scene of Luoshan City still exceeded Lin Yu's imagination.
Since it was already getting late, Lin Yu was going to find an inn to rest for the night, and then take a bus to Xuanning Mansion, the capital of Yuezhou, tomorrow. When he arrived at Xuanning Mansion, he would transfer directly to Tiandu City.
Just when Lin Yu was about to find an inn to rest, a dark-skinned young man carrying a package approached Lin Yu and asked Lin Yu with a smile.
"Sir, are you not a local? Do you need some guidance?"
"No."
"Then do you want to buy some souvenirs?"
"No need." Lin Yu's voice was obviously unhappy.
Even though he was rejected by Lin Yu one after another, the young man still refused to give up.
"Sir, please take a look. These are all unique to our Luoshan City. You can buy a few pieces to keep as a souvenir."
Regardless of whether Lin Yu wanted it or not, the young man opened his package and showed Lin Yu the contents one by one.
The boy's package seemed to be a small warehouse, containing various crudely made gadgets and a pile of strange-shaped stones.
The boy asked Lin Yu while showing the products in the bag.
"Sir, do you think there is anything you like?"
Lin Yu was slightly impatient with this overly enthusiastic young man. He was about to leave directly, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a dark red crystal in the young man's hand.
