After returning to the City Lord's Mansion lightly, Alaya and Felita hadn't woken up yet.
I lightly lifted Felita off the bed first, then sat back at the desk, put a few documents on the table, and then put Felita beside me, letting her lean on me Keep sleeping. Afterwards, I started to process the paperwork on the table at an extremely fast speed, and quickly completed the documents that needed to be approved, piled up like a hill.
When it was almost evening, Alaya woke up suddenly, fumbled for her sword quickly, and called out anxiously at the same time:
"...Master?"
I turned around and said:
"Here. Are you awake?"
Alaya stared at me for a while, making sure I was safe, before letting out a sigh of relief.
After a while, Felita also straightened up in a daze, shook her head a few times, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, raised her head and looked around, and said sleepily:
"Why is it getting dark..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly realized the fact that he had just fallen asleep, looked at me nervously, and finally saw the saliva marks on my shoulder, and stammered:
"Master. I, I..."
I touched her head and comforted her:
"It's okay. I went to bed very late yesterday, right? I didn't sleep well during this time, so I just took it as a catch-up."
Felita looked guilty.
Alaya asked:
"Master, did nothing happen today?"
I pointed to a stack of documents on the table and said:
"No, I sat here and finished approving He Yue's documents. Everything is fine, don't worry."
The two of them let down their vigilance.
That night, the two of them, who had slept all day, spent the night guarding outside the bedroom.
He Yue came to pick up the documents the next day, and after I handed her a stack of approved documents, I asked casually:
"Speaking of He Yue, what do you know about Lingwu Territory?"
He Yue asked strangely:
"Why do you ask?"
I lied casually and said:
"This... I heard that the lord of Lingwu was the Oiran of the Sea of Clouds last year. Isn't she and I walking together? So I want to ask what kind of person he is, how strong the Lingwu Territory is and so on."
He Yue let out an "oh", found a cushion beside me and sat down, put both hands on the table, and said with a smile:
"Lord Lingwu, the oiran, is well-recognized. It seemed that she was elected unanimously. That is, people who have seen her appearance all voted for her. It's not the same as you who picked it up."
I said cheekily:
"What do you mean picked up? I conquered those stinky men with my extraordinary beauty, sweet singing voice and graceful dancing posture."
He Yue said "good, good" to deal with me, then her expression returned to seriousness, and she said:
"The Lingwu Territory has always been relatively mysterious, and outsiders know very little about it. It is located at the northernmost point of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, and directly borders the Giants, one of the [Six Middle Clans]. It is different from the Demon Clan, which is also the Six Middle Clan. , there are not many types of giants, but there is no such thing as miscellaneous fish. Those demons around Yuxi City, such as [Goblin] and [Slime], are actually very weak, even if they have no Human men with martial arts skills also have the opportunity to kill them. But the giants are different. Adult giants are at least five meters tall, and their strength is at least sevenfold. Although their intelligence is much worse than that of humans, their social characteristics are no different from humans. The defense line in the north will be tight every year, which is one of the reasons why the Kingdom organizes the Northern Expedition every year, but it is undeniable that when there is no Northern Expedition, the Lingwu Territory uses the strength of a territory to block the entire giant clan from going south. It’s a terrible thing. You must know that the giant legion hugged together is almost an incomprehensible existence, and human flesh and blood are as fragile as paper in their eyes.”
"Lord Lingwu has three guards, which are [Sun], [Moon], and [Hidden]. The Sun Guard is an elite force to deal with the giants. It is said that the strength of the Lord Lingwu is also terrible. Most of the Japanese guards are veterans who have killed many giants, and they have sufficient contingency experience to cooperate and protect the Lingwu lord in the battle with the giants. Most of the moon guards are women. When Wu was in power, Yuewei was responsible for protecting her safety. Yinwei is the secret organization of Lord Lingwu, responsible for intelligence, assassination and other work."
"The direct leader of Yinwei is called [Dadutong], and he can usually achieve this position. He is probably at the peak of assassination, and has a clear judgment on the situation. He is a well-known assassin. Da Dutong seldom leaves Lingwu, but Yama of the Ten Temples is active in every corner of Eternal Heaven. They are all at the top of the assassins. They claim that there is no one other than the lord and the royal family. Those who cannot be killed, even the heads of some low-ranking lords, are like picking something out of a bag in their eyes."
After He Yue finished speaking, I realized what the [Ten Palaces of Hell] Shuangkou was talking about at that time.
To put it bluntly, it is the kind of famous and powerful assassin who is also Hilo's teacher. Xi Luo's assassination skills should be learned from them, and judging from Xi Luo's reaction at the time, this so-called Ten Temple Yama should have a great influence on her. In Hilo's eyes, they should be unattainable mountains, so at that moment, Hilo showed such a slightly frightened look.
At this time, He Yue suddenly said:
"Of course, none of the above can be considered the true strength of Lingwu. The hard power of a territory must be military strength. Lingwu has 80,000 cavalry and 150,000 armored soldiers. The coldness in the north is not suitable for the growth of crops. But it is a fertile soil rich in pasture. Therefore, Lingwu's iron cavalry is the strongest iron cavalry in the whole world, but because of the relationship of the giants, they have to stay in Lingwu territory. To be honest, only 80,000 iron cavalry went south. There are not many territories that can be blocked. By the way, the commander of these armies is also the Lord of Lingwu, she is a real all-rounder who is good at both culture and martial arts, and is good at the emperor's mind."
Naturally, He Yue didn't know that I was already planning to dig into Lingwu's wall, so her tone was so relaxed, and she took the initiative to say to me:
"The current Yuxi City should be like an ant in the eyes of Lord Lingwu. But fortunately, we are in the southwest corner, and she is in the northeast corner, far away. And there is no contact between us, she may even We don't know who we are. There are no rules for strength and weakness. As long as we do our own thing well, we will be able to compete with her one day sooner or later. After all, in Baifeng's eyes, he, you, and more Lord Lingwu, the future world... should be fought by the three of you."
I tentatively asked:
"Then if I'm going to stroke that tigress' whiskers now..."
He Yue raised the corners of her mouth, smiled like a flower, and said softly:
"There will be no dross left in the dead."
