Tianlan didn't rest for a minute. He rushed to Yunlong City at noon the next day. This is also a town close to the battlefield. However, because it is a long distance from the national border, the terrain is dangerous. There is no impact on the years of fighting. So it was not built as a fortress. It was just a very ordinary town. The walls were not high.
Yunlong City is mainly used to temporarily residences of the army with support and the location of a large number of food and grass. From this perspective, Yunlong City is still very important. It is one of the hubs on the front line and the rear.
There are still hundreds of miles away from Yunlong City. Tianlan noticed that there are many temporary camps for troops in the surrounding fields. In terms of the size of the camp, the small town has about 40,000 to 50,000 garrisons. There are ravines everywhere here. There are not many flat land. .So the scope of camping is not large. 50,000 soldiers are quite large in terms of the scale of Yunlong City.
After a less stringent inspection, Tianlan entered Yunlong City. At this time, he had already changed into a clean white dress, washed up, and treated and covered his trauma as necessary. He looked for it again. A white cape is covered, making it look nothing special.
It has been a month since he left Qiyang Shaying Pass. There must be many changes in the current situation. He must know what the situation is now.
The most direct way to inquire about information is of course to ask the commander of the defender here. He didn't know which general was guarding here. He almost recorded the names and information of all the generals of Qinglong. But most of them are Su Even if he can recognize the other party, the other party may not recognize him.
It's not appropriate to think too much about this. It's better to deal with it. He walked to the City Lord's Mansion calmly. There was no doubt that according to the convention, the City Lord's Mansion would be requisitioned by the military during the war and become a place for the general to temporarily live in the meeting. He The commander of the defender you are looking for. You will live here if you have ten ***.
He walked to the gate of the city lord's mansion. The two soldiers shouted, "Who is this? This is a key military place. Don't let anyone enter."
Tianlan took off the cape on his head and showed his youthful appearance. He said, "Which general is the commander of the defenders here?"
The two soldiers looked at each other. There was a feeling of irresistible in his tone, which made them inexplicably feel like they looked up. The man in front of them was still a young man of a young age. Why was his words so different? Could it be from the military Important person.
They dared not be sure of Tian Lan's identity. They said politely: "It's Lord Ling."
"Master Ling." Tian Lan frowned and thought. In his impression, there seemed to be no general named Ling. There was one of the Ling family, who belonged to the civil servants. Although it was not powerful in the court and the government, it had a great official position. But this was not Maybe. How could a gentle scholar come to this chaotic battlefield? Could this Lord Ling be the newly appointed military officer?
"Your Lord Ling is in the mansion now."
"Yes." There is nothing to hide. Everyone in Yunlong City knows it. And it is the routine of Qinglong.
Tian Lan was not polite either. He said, "I want to see him."
"This..." The two soldiers were a little embarrassed. The other party was unknown. How could they say they could meet the general? Moreover, the general was not so leisurely. There were many military affairs to deal with.
Tianlan knew the concerns of the two soldiers. He pondered for a moment. He took out a bronze token from the storage ring and threw it to one of the soldiers. He said, "Take this to Lord Ling. Then let him decide not to see me."
The soldier held a bronze token. On one side, he saw a blue dragon engraved on it, and on the other side, he had a big word "天" engraved on it. Although the soldier didn't know what the word "天" means, he had seen a similar token. Yes The symbol of the Qinglong nobles. And only the extremely noble families have this bronze token.
He did not dare to be negligent. He stepped in and passed it through quickly. He came back soon and respectfully returned the token to Tianlan. He also asked Tianlan to come in to meet Lord Ling.
This token is the exclusive identity proof of their Tianlingsha family. After the bloody cleaning inside the family, the only people who can have this "Tian" token are Tianlan and Tianchen. Even theirs My father, Tianbo, didn't even know the origins of the outsiders. But anyone with some knowledge knows it. This is the proof of the Tianlingsha family. As long as you can be sure of his identity.
He traveled through the inner court and came to the lobby, but unexpectedly saw an acquaintance.
"Senior Ling." He screamed in confusion. That's right. The person in front of him was the wind warrior he knew Ling Jiutian. Ling Jiutian changed his usual gorgeous clothes and brocade. He changed into a mighty battle. A. It looks like he has changed someone.
Ling Jiutian laughed and said, "I knew it was you. It happened to be you. I didn't have time to thank you for the last incident."
Tianlan said without being humble and arrogant: "Senior is so harsh. Why are you here? Still..."
"What's new about this?" Ling Jiutian smiled and waved his hand to get rid of the soldiers around him. "After the Prime Minister's fall, all the important officials rushed to show themselves. There was such a chance. So all the big families sent their proud children. The plan was to Make achievements on the battlefield. Our Ling family is no exception."
Tianlan nodded and said, "So you are from the Ling family. I should have thought of it long ago." He had heard that a second-generation descendant of the Ling family had a dissolute personality. In the words of the noble circle, it was a rebellious person. So Tianlan was about this. Very little is known about the situation of people. I don’t think this person is Ling Jiutian. Although the Ling family is a civil servant, it does not mean that the descendants of the Ling family are all scholars without any power. If they have talent, the Ling family will definitely give in first. Descendants practice martial arts or magic.
Ling Jiutian smiled and said, "The first time I heard your name, I guessed whether you were from Tian Lingsha. It was indeed good. Speaking of which, although you and I have not yet become officials in the court, they are still half a robe. It’s really luck to be able to meet someone else.”
He remembered his experience half a year ago and said with emotion: "I promised Xiao Taoer to accompany you to Donghai that day, but I still had no choice but to break the appointment. I still care a lot. You have no accidents in Donghai, right?"
When talking about the past, Tian Lan's eyes were a little complicated. He said lightly: "Some twists and turns. Finally, there is no danger. Are you and Senior Li?"
Ling Jiutian sighed and said, "Zhiyong. He still has a stubborn personality... Alas. This matter is unhurried. Now I should give up my private affairs for the time being and deal with Qiyang's attack with all my heart. Haha. What's the matter with me today?"
"I want to know the current situation of the battle." This is Tian Lan's only purpose for coming here.
"Why? Didn't you come with the Marshal?" Ling Jiutian also became serious when talking about the serious matter. The Marshal he mentioned refers to Tianlan's brother Tianchen. He thought Tianlan must have come to the border with Tianchen. .
Tian Lan shook his head and said, "No. I haven't seen my brother yet. Something happened in the East China Sea before, so it took a lot of time."
Ling Jiutian nodded to express his understanding. He suddenly frowned again. At this time, he realized that Tian Lan looked very bad. He stepped forward and said, "Why? You are injured."
He was quite surprised. Then he showed a hint of sharp expression: "Who hurts you?"
"...It's okay. A little bit of injury." Tian Lan answered lightly. Obviously he didn't want to say more about this question.
He said this. Ling Jiutian was not very good to continue asking questions. He said, "Then like this. I have something to deal with. You go and rest first. Wait for a while and the latest information is sent. I will call you here."
"Well..." Tian Lan agreed. He knew that Ling Jiutian could not tell him immediately. Instead, he wanted him to rest for a while. Indeed, he had not closed his eyes these days. The physical fatigue could no longer be completely concealed. He Although he didn't care, this was Ling Jiutian's kindness. He was also the master's family. He was hard to refuse.
The servant arranged him in a wing room near the lobby. All the utensils were prepared in the room. They were originally used for guests and did not need to be arranged separately.
Close the door alone. Tianlan felt exhausted. He leaned against the door and could hardly walk. He could barely hold on in front of others. But when he was alone, he couldn't hide his injuries. Not too light. In addition, he has not treated him seriously in the past few days. He has been rushing all night and has been tiring. He has long been overwhelmed.
He moved two steps swayingly, but felt weak in his legs. He held the corner of the table, covered his mouth, and coughed quietly. He opened his palm and saw that the palms were covered with blood.
Rongrong couldn't stand it and flew out and shouted, "Lan. Don't torture yourself like this, okay?"
Tian Lan didn't say anything. He took out a white palette and wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and palms. He sat quietly on the bed, closed his eyes and began to meditate. Rongrong was helpless and sighed quietly. She could only stay by her side and accompany him.
About two hours later, Ling Jiutian sent someone to call him over. It was almost the same as Tianlan's estimated time. These two hours helped him recover. He couldn't say he was so energetic, but at least he didn't look so haggard.
He came to the study and saw that there were three people wearing armor in addition to Ling Jiutian. Ling Jiutian was born as a sorcerer. So even if he wore armor, he chose light armor. The other three people were wearing thick clothes without exception. Heavy armor, with a faint sense of mighty aura on his body.
Tian Lan did not know these three people. It was speculated that it was Ling Jiutian's capable general. He did not dare to neglect. He held the courtesy of his juniors and bowed and said, "Senior Ling."
Ling Jiutian was thinking hard with a battle report. Seeing Tianlan arrive, his face softened. He said, "Yes, sit down."
Tianlan took the initiative to sit in the last seat. His status should be quite high in terms of status. But firstly, he does not have his own title. Secondly, he has not officially joined the Qinglong Army. He is really not a military person. From this perspective. His appearance here is considered to be a transgression. Naturally, he has to choose the last seat.
Ling Jiutian slapped the battle report in his hand on the table and said, "The information that just arrived in my hands half an hour ago: Qiyang's army, led by Xuanyuan Zheng, won consecutive victories. Now it has taken down our army's outpost, Huangtu Pass. Marshal Half a month ago, he had already gone to the front line and successfully stopped Xuanyuan Zheng's attack. However, Xuanyuan Zheng was mainly conservative, and fought steadily and did not advance rashly. For a moment, our army could not reverse the war."
