The corners of Mingyue's lips curved upwards in an enchanting arc, "Where, I'm just curious after hearing you talk about it!"
"I don't know where that guy is now. If you have a chance, it would be great if you could meet him!" Li Li crossed his arms, "You two are so similar, you will definitely become friends!"
"That's not necessarily true!" Mingyue glanced at her ambiguously, "Who can guarantee that he won't rob me?!"
"I'm not as boring as you!" Mo Li rolled his eyes and strode towards the door, "I'm going to practice!"
"If necessary, I can help you protect the law!" Mingyue said behind her.
Mo Li waved his hand to him without looking back, "Thank you, but you don't need it!"

Lancheng.
Located at the southernmost tip of the Ming Dynasty, it was named because of the orchids that covered the mountains outside the city. It was not only the southernmost town of the Ming Dynasty, but also the southern gate of the empire. It was also the only way to the misty forest.
Passing through the large hills outside Lancheng, you will find the misty forest that is famous throughout the Eastern Continent as a gathering place for monsters. The area facing Lancheng happens to be the narrowest vertical distance in the entire forest and the relatively flattest landform.
an area.
In order to prevent the invasion of monsters in the misty forest, as early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Lancheng area spent countless manpower and material resources to build a city wall of nearly a thousand miles. After hundreds of years of reinforcement and construction by emperors of various generations, the city wall has already formed
Very large scale.
Starting from the seaside in the east and ending at the Life-Destroying Ridge in the west, the Daming Wall is like a giant dragon that separates the vast fertile land of the Ming Dynasty from the misty forest.
This city wall stretches for thousands of miles, and the cost is staggering.
Of course, such efforts also yield many results.
From the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty to the present, there have almost never been large-scale incidents of monsters hurting people in Lan City or even in the entire area surrounding the Ming Kingdom in the Misty Forest.
On the one hand, the misty forest is synonymous with danger; on the other hand, it is called the forest of the brave and is a paradise for adventurers.
At the same time that it was in crisis, the rich monster resources and medicinal herb resources in this forest also attracted countless escorts and strong men to come from thousands of miles away and enter the misty forest through Lan City.
There is no road on earth, but as more people walk on it, it becomes a road.
It's the same in the misty forest.
With the influx of many bodyguards and strong men, a path gradually opened up in the misty forest.
This road, connecting the two countries of Xia and Ming at both ends of the misty forest, is known to the world as the road of death paved with gold.
Whether it is silk produced in abundance in the Xia Kingdom in the south or mineral metals produced in the Ming Kingdom in the north, as long as it is transported through this road, its value will increase several times.
Merchants always put profit first. In order to make huge profits, there are always countless caravans risking their way through the misty forest, transporting pearls and spices from the South China Sea and silk from the Xia Kingdom to the north, and bringing back leather goods and goods from the Ulan Grassland.
Metal deposits in the Northland.
The caravan has driven the escort business, and there are countless escort teams that go to the misty forest to catch monsters and search for beast elixirs and medicinal herbs.
It is precisely because of the existence of these people that Lancheng has already transformed from a remote town with only a few thousand people into a prosperous city with a population of hundreds of thousands. Its prosperity is not inferior to that of the imperial capital Chang'an.
It was already dusk, and the official road to Lancheng was still full of cars and horses.
Among them, the Royal Forest Army team in purple clothes and golden armor is particularly eye-catching.
