The horse whipped up, and the more than two thousand miles of journey flew by in a blink of an eye, leaving no time to appreciate the scenery along the way. Li Mu thought about reaching the destination quickly every time he waved the whip.
"Crossing this river ahead is the scope of Cangyun City. About twenty miles further north, you can see the city."
Lin Qingzhu put away the map in his hand, and the three of them crossed a wide wooden bridge without stopping. Under the bridge was the rapid Cangyun River. After passing here, they had truly arrived at the outskirts of Cangyun City, and the empire was the most magnificent.
The city is located on the plain to the north.
Cangyun City alone covers an area of more than 15 million acres. Counting the forests, hills and large amounts of agricultural land in the suburbs, the total is close to 70 million acres. It is really hard to see the edge at a glance. It is the entire
A super city-state that can be ranked among the fairies.
One can imagine how much manpower and material resources it would cost to impose a curfew on this city with a population of more than 70 million. It can be seen that the royal family was really angry this time.
"Huh? Is someone following you?"
As their horses were galloping, Li Mu and Fang Yan looked up at the same time. After confirming that the stalker was two hundred steps behind them, they exchanged glances with each other. Then Li Mu gave Lin Qingzhu a gesture, and the three of them formed a formation.
Suddenly they dispersed and entered the woods on both sides of the official road in different directions.
The dense poplar forest instantly covered Li Mu's figure, but the pursuer was obviously a good player. He stopped as soon as he lost track of his target and did not rush to follow the woods with poor visibility.
But Li Mu and Fang Yan had already left the BMW at this time, and like lightning, using the cover of the poplar forest, they reached the rear of the pursuer with a few moves.
"Hurry and report to the captain, we have lost our target."
Li Mu landed on the tree branch and looked down through the branches and leaves. He saw that the pursuers were two soldiers wearing the imperial military's standard scout armor. Both of them were ordinary mortals and had not cultivated to the realm of pill formation, but
It can be seen from his behavior that he is a veteran in investigation and tracking. When he turned around and returned, he did not forget to destroy the traces of his arrival.
"Take action!"
These two people are not very strong, but they are experienced in tracking. They are experts in the army who are good at carrying out scouting tasks. Li Mu and the others have come all the way without revealing their identity. Now they are still twenty miles away from the imperial capital, and they are captured.
They were targeted, so they couldn't help but be vigilant. It was the easiest way to capture these two people and question them.
Li Mu was now a perfect master of the Dan Formation Realm and a physical practitioner, while Fang Yan was on the verge of a breakthrough. In the eyes of the two scouts, they were existences comparable to gods. At this time, he took action brazenly, even though the two scouts
The scout was rich in experience and had gone through hundreds of battles, but he was still caught in the throat by the Jueying Sword and the Blood Qi Sword in an instant.
"Tell me, why are you following us? Who sent you?"
Li Mu's tone at this time was as cold as ice. He had already guessed that there would be many obstacles in his pursuit of the truth this time, but being tracked by the military before entering the imperial capital was beyond his expectation.
"Master Li, don't be nervous. We are Captain Liu Long's people. The situation in the Imperial Capital is extremely complicated now, so the captain has sent us to station on this road that must pass from Lishui City to the Imperial Capital. Your identities have not been confirmed before, so go ahead.
Follow up and report to our captain, please forgive me."
The scout soldier, whose neck was held by the cold sword, was also sweating coldly. He quickly told his identity and mission, and then pointed to the tag on his waist, which was a big willow character.
The distribution of the Cangyun Empire's army is very simple. It is divided into five major garrison areas. The four areas of southeast, northwest and northwest plus the central military region have a total of five marshals. As the military god family, the Liu family is responsible for the garrison of the eastern military region. Today, the head of the Liu family, Cang
Liu Yi, the Tiger of the Cloud, is the Marshal of the Eastern Military Region, and he is also Liu Ruoying's father.
Among the five marshals, Marshal Ji Tianyu of the Southern Military Region is Liu Yi's best friend, so the Southern Military Region and the Eastern Military Region commanded by him have been an offensive and defensive alliance for many years, while the other three military regions are not so harmonious and belong to the royal family.
Check and balance the existence of the Liu family.
High achievements have always been the most worrying thing for the emperor's family throughout the ages. As a military god family, the Liu family has saved the empire from fire and water countless times in the thousands of years of Cangyun Empire's history. The Liu family has produced numerous talents and given birth to countless outstanding people.
generals, and the Eastern Military Region was also cultivated by the Liu family into an army with the strongest combat effectiveness.
To put it bluntly, the Western Military Region, the Northern Military Region plus the Central Military Region can only be comparable to the strength of the Liu family's Eastern Military Region. If the strength of the Ji family's Southern Military Region is added, it is far inferior. This is also the case in the past hundred years.
The reason for the delicate relationship between the Liu family and the royal family.
"Brother Mu is the token of the Eastern Military Region. He is really Brother Liu's man."
The scout soldier's words did not make Li Mu put down his weapon immediately. Instead, after Lin Qingzhu checked the authenticity of the token, he and Fang Yan let go of the two scouts and handed over their hands to express their apology.
"Both brothers, I'm really sorry. We have to be careful during special times. What's the current situation in the imperial capital? You actually need Brother Liu to arrange for you to stop us outside the city."
Facing the apologies from Li Mu and the others, the two scout soldiers waved their hands and said it was okay. The friends of these three captains were young, but they were all cultivators who had embarked on the path of immortality. They were absolute candidates for officers in the army, but at this time they
Talking to him without any pretense also made the two soldiers feel grateful. You must know that strength is respected in the fairy world, and the same is true in the army.
"We don't know the specific situation. We only know that the entire imperial capital is now under martial law by those from the Central Military Region, so the captain sent us to take you away before you enter the city. As long as you arrive at our camp, you will be considered a visitor from the royal family.
We are also sure to protect your safety."
When the soldier talked about his camp, his eyes were full of confidence. This was the confidence of the soldiers of the military god Liu family. However, the information revealed in the soldier's words still made Li Mu and the others frown. Liu Long's
Taking action to protect them meant that hostile forces were already targeting the three of them.
Only two days have passed since they learned the news from Huiyue City and then rushed all the way, and the identities of the three of them have been found out. Li Yubai's reward amount is ridiculously high. As Li Yubai's son, naturally, he
It will become the best breakthrough point for many powerful people. Whether they want to pry open their mouth and ask about Li Yubai's traces, or simply use themselves as a hostage to threaten Li Yubai to show up, it is a very feasible plan. If the roles are reversed, Li Mu
You will do this yourself.
"Let's go meet Brother Liu first and see what he says?"
