"This... this is not..." Leng Zhiying was suddenly shocked when he saw where Yun Yun was pointing.

She was extremely familiar with this location. It was the Shimo City where Xiao Yan, his eldest brother and his second brother lived!

This is a city that should not exist. The desert is the territory of the snake people. This city is quite developed, but it is isolated outside the Gamma Empire. It is also not recognized as a subordinate city of the empire. , can be said to be isolated and helpless.

And for such a city that was flourishing in the territory of the snake people, and protected by two great fighting master mercenaries, it stands to reason that it should have been killed by the snake people long ago.

After considering various considerations, apart from the influence of the protagonist's halo, Leng Zhiying didn't know what to say.

I have to say that this place is indeed a rare strategic location. If Leng Zhiying didn't want her power to get involved with Xiao Yan in advance, she would definitely choose this place, even if it was to rob it.

But the protagonist's halo is really terrifying. It's okay for her to confront Xiao Yan herself. If she sends someone to deal with Xiao Yan, wouldn't it be like a meat bun beating a dog?

"Indeed, this place is very suitable for garrisoning, so I will let them go." Leng Zhiying thought for a while, Xiao Yan didn't know that these interstellar troops belonged to her, so he probably... wouldn't try to steal them directly. ?

However, Xiao Zi and Kang Na had to let them hide. After all, they had already shown their faces. It would be better to transfer them directly to her area to prevent shortage of manpower.

After making the decision, Leng Jieying gave an order to Woden, and he was naturally responsible for executing the specific operation methods, which saved her a lot of trouble.

After running all day, Leng Zhiying was a little hungry, so he took Yun Yun and Luo Kexin to find a place to fill their stomachs first. Furukawa would naturally notify them when they were ready to set off.

......

"Boss! Bring me your best food and wine!"

After finding the best restaurant in the city, Leng Zhiying sat down with a carefree attitude, slapped a gold card on the table, and shouted to the waiter.

The waiter was originally ready to come forward to receive some greetings, but when he saw Leng Zhiying's wealthy attitude, he stopped saying more: "Okay, Miss, get ready now!"

It has to be said that this restaurant is quite large, and it is not the kind of place that specializes in serving big shots. There are people from all walks of life here, including vagabonds, military merchants, and the like. Occasionally, you can see some fighting men. The presence of spirit-level officers allows so many kinds of people to come here to spend money. This boss is also a man of means.

Leng Zhiying's bold behavior naturally attracted everyone's attention. Some people were envious, some were gloating about his misfortune, and some looked with disdain, as if they were looking at a country bumpkin.

However, people in a place like this are not the kind to look for trouble. After looking at it for a while, they all withdrew their gazes.

"Sister Ying, do you feel something is wrong?" After Yun Yun looked at the surrounding situation, she suddenly had a strange idea.

Leng Zhiying was waiting for the dishes boredly, but he became more energetic when he heard Yun Yun's words: "Huh? What's wrong, Sister Yun Yun, is there anything strange?"

Yun Yun looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she said: "Look at the people around here, most of them seem to be merchants. This is a military center of the Jiama Empire, not a pass for trade. Now there are actually Don’t you think it’s a little strange that so many merchants come here?”

"Is there anything strange about this? Maybe they are here to help transport military supplies or buy military war supplies and sell them back. As long as it is profitable, there is nothing strange about businessmen appearing in such a place, right?" Leng Zhiying He didn't get Yun Yun's point at all and just explained his own thoughts.

"But that's the problem. All the Gama Empire's military supplies are allocated from the internal treasury and are never borrowed from others, let alone merchants to transport these things. Similarly, the army's spoils should also belong to the royal family. It's not up to them to handle it themselves, so the reason for this is very strange..." As she spoke, Yun Yun quietly pointed to a fat man not far away who was dressed in luxurious clothes:

"Look at that person, he is from Wang's Trading Company, the second largest trading firm in Gama Holy City. It is not that there is no business of selling trophies in border towns, but the profit is too small, and it is not valued by big trading firms at all. But look, they are here now..."

Now Leng Zhiying understood that businessmen pursue profit. If there is not enough profit to attract people, no one will come. And there are so many businessmen gathered here, which means...

This is probably a smuggling place.

Due to the corruption of the local army, it is very likely that they will turn a blind eye to the actions of the merchants, collect benefits, and profit from them from top to bottom. The top leaders of the Gama Empire will not know the situation here at all.

As for the object of smuggling, in this border town of Tagore Desert, is there any other possibility besides smuggling with the snake people? No wonder Yun Yun suddenly became interested in this.

"I see, but even if they are smuggling, it is still a matter for the higher-ups of the empire. What does it have to do with us? Can't we just treat it as invisible?" Leng Jiying is very confused. No matter how corrupt the politics of the Gamma Empire is, it is not Yun Yun's turn to worry about it. Well, what is she thinking about here?

Hearing Leng Zhiying's question, Yun Yun blushed and said a little shyly: "This... In fact, our Yunlan Sect has always had a close relationship with the royal family, so the royal family does not have enough power to control some places. In order to prevent the local generals from acting arbitrarily, they would entrust us Yunlan Sect disciples to inquire about the situation, which is equivalent to the status of a royal envoy. Moreover, with the Yunlan Sect as their background, no one dared to touch them, but many disciples accepted them. The benefits of these local generals were not truthfully reported to the royal family, so..."

Leng Zhiying suddenly realized that the relationship between the Yunlan Sect and the royal family is still very close, and the two often communicate with each other. The royal family gives the Yunlan Sect supreme authority in the Gama Empire, and the Yunlan Sect helps maintain the empire. Governance can be said to be a matter of mutual benefit.

But...these disciples who have obtained the power do not intend to help Yunlan Sect build a good relationship with the royal family, but use their power to benefit themselves. The elders within the sect will not deliberately mention the differences of these people after receiving the benefits. The royal family had no way of discovering the situation, and instead lost a large amount of money. Even if they intended to abolish them, they did not dare to mention it, for fear that they would endanger the Yunlan Sect and suffer the loss.

All empires must have a guardian sect of their own, just like the Poison Sect of the Izumo Empire. If there is no guardian sect, then it is a weak persimmon, and it has no choice but to swallow its anger.
