Xiang Ming and Gu Rui looked at each other, completely unaware of what was happening.
This was the first time they had seen this gentleman acting so rude.
It took Di Jian a long time to stop coughing, and he took the medicine sheet and looked at it for a long time, and finally the veins on his forehead throbbed.
Di Jian put down the list, pressed her forehead and asked, "The man who gave you the medicine list...is at the inn just now?"
Although Gu Rui didn't understand what made the man in front of him react so strongly, he still replied, "Yes."
Di Jian looked strange and said, "Describe his appearance."
Gu Rui said briefly, and Di Jian became silent after hearing this.
At this moment, he had completely confirmed his suspicion.
Di Jian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
This aunt... After doing this for a long time, she was jumping around and watching a show right under his nose!
He and Ning Yu searched all over the place for Ling Xuewei, but Ling Xuewei was lucky enough to have come back quietly and spent the whole night watching the show leisurely.
Di Jian thought of the figure before, and he finally knew why he felt familiar.
"Deputy Commander? Deputy Commander? What's wrong with you?" Xiang Ming looked at Di Jian in surprise.
Di Jian came back to her senses and stood up suddenly, "I still have something to do, I'll leave this to you."
Gu Rui and Xiang Ming looked at Di Jian's hurried away figure, with confused expressions on their faces.
What's going on?
****
Inn.
"Master, aren't you going to rest?"
Lightning let out a big yawn. Snowball over there had already fallen asleep soundly. A pair of fleshy paws were still resting on Ling Xuewei's legs, sleeping with his arms and legs spread out.
Ling Xuewei took back the breath of meditating and said slowly, "It's not time yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a movement outside, and he rushed out with a flash of lightning to have a close contact with someone who jumped in through the window.
"Ouch! What's going on?"
"Huh? Why is it you?"
One person and one beast rubbed their sore foreheads, their faces speechless.
"Coming?"
Ling Xuewei sat on the bed and did not move, not surprised at all by Di Jian's arrival.
"Oh, my aunt, you are finally back! You don't even know what kind of life I have been living during this time..." Di Jian looked at Ling Xuewei on the bed and almost cried with joy. She came up and gave her a bear hug, and was hugged by Ling Xuewei.
A finger poked his forehead.
Di Jian didn't care, and was about to pounce on him again, but was blown away by lightning wings, "Don't touch the master!"
This abominable human being touches his master every time he sees him! How disgusting!
Di Jian reacted very quickly this time, avoiding the attack with a smile on his face, "Hey, little Lightning, I haven't seen you for a few days, and you are becoming more and more heroic! Look at those slippery feathers, the food has been good recently!"
Lightning was angrily trying to attack, but Ling Xuewei stopped him, "Lightning."
Lightning then retracted its wings, hummed and sat down next to him.
"Tsk tsk, Little Lightning is still the same." Di Jian took a chair and sat down, crossing her legs carelessly.
"Since you're back, why don't you go back to the City Lord's Mansion? Don't you know that Ningyu and I have almost turned the world upside down?" Di Jian started to complain with runny noses and tears, "And Mr. Que
As an old man, the City Lord's Mansion is about to be demolished in a few days. If you don't go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to see us!"
Ling Xuewei came down to the table and sat down, poured a glass of water for Di Jian, poured a glass for herself, and said lightly, "I have something else to do, so I won't go back for the time being."
"Ah? What's the matter?" Di Jian was stunned.
Ling Xuewei has already returned to Independence City, why should she leave?
"I will go to the State of Five Lakes in the near future." Ling Xuewei said.
Di Jian's originally carefree expression turned serious, "The Five Lakes State has been in chaos recently. What are you doing there at this time?"
"The forces in the Five Lakes are mixed, but it is a paradise for mercenaries and casual cultivators. Now that the power of the Independent State is gradually becoming more and more stable, it is the time to employ people." Ling Xuewei did not hide anything from Di Jian.
"So you want to go there and visit?" Di Jian said thoughtfully.
"Well, I'm going to meet my old friends too." Ling Xuewei nodded.
Di Jian raised her eyebrows slightly, "I didn't know you had friends over there in Wuhu?"
A trace of softness flashed between Ling Xuewei's eyebrows, "Well, maybe we haven't seen you for a long time. I haven't shown up for two years, so it's time to go and see her."
"Now that you've made your decision, go ahead." Di Jian knew that no one could change Ling Xuewei's decision, so she could only say, "Leave the affairs of the Independent State to us, don't worry."
The corner of Ling Xuewei's mouth curled up slightly, "Well, I'll leave it to you, I'll always be at ease."
These words made Di Jian feel inexplicably anxious, her mouth almost reaching behind her ears, and she rolled her eyes when she saw the lightning over there.
idiot.
"By the way, how are you going to get there? Is there a place to stay when you get there?"
Ling Xuewei said, "There are people from the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group living in this inn."
"You plan to join them?" Di Jian was a little surprised.
"Well, have you heard of Xiong Cang from the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group?" Ling Xuewei said.
Di Jian talked about the information he knew, "I've heard about it. I heard that this man is loyal, brave, and heroic, and he can be regarded as one of the top names in the Five Lakes State. His Liuhuo Mercenary Group was just a few years ago.
A little-known third-rate mercenary group has now developed into a second-rate mercenary group from the Five Lakes State, and I heard that Xiong Cang played a major role in it."
Ling Xuewei was thoughtful after hearing this.
"What? Are you interested in this person?" Di Jian looked at Ling Xuewei curiously.
"It's not that I'm interested, it's just that the hero is in ruins, and it's inevitable that I feel a little regretful." Ling Xuewei said lightly.
Di Jian rolled her eyes after hearing this, "Come on, I don't know you yet? There are many desperate heroes in this world, but not many can catch your eye. It seems that this Xiong Cang is very popular with you?"
Ling Xuewei smiled and said nothing.
"Since you think it's good, let's take it. It just so happens that the Independent Army is expanding and is in urgent need of manpower." Di Jian said sarcastically.
"There's no rush, it's better to be patient than to be careless." Ling Xuewei leaned back on the chair a little, tilted her body and looked at her fingers casually.
"You are not in a hurry, but I am!" Di Jian was a little excited. "The number of troops can hardly keep up with your expansion. If this continues, another group of troops stationed in the independent city will be transferred away."
Today, there are 6,000 troops stationed in Independence City and 3,000 to 4,000 in the other 11 cities. The total is less than 50,000. Among them, there are only 10,000 elite troops. The remaining 40,000 are all recruited from the 19 tribes, which is not enough. Think about it.
It still takes some time to train.
But this aunt continued to expand her base everywhere, either attacking this tribe or picking that village. There was really a shortage of manpower to recover, so he was in such a hurry.
There are really not many people who can really use it, but he is overjoyed at the speed at which Ling Xuewei recruits people and expands her power. It really makes him love and hate her at the same time!
