Byron's Blade

From Chudu all the way to the northwest about 12 kilometers, we arrived at Wolong.Here borders on Harvest City, the gate of Adventurer City to Harvest City - the Gate of Harvest is just west of Wolong City. At three o'clock in the afternoon on December 17, Assassin and his party of seven drove for six hours and finally arrived in Wolong City.

For this trip, 7 people took two cars, because it would take at least two weeks to go out this time, and the two off-road vehicles were full of luggage for 7 people.The driving is in rotation, and one person will change after driving for two hours to ensure that everyone is full of energy to cope with emergencies.

But in fact, in the city of adventurers, emergencies rarely occur. The people here are very kind and enthusiastic, and mutual help is the norm.I heard that the folk customs of Harvest City are more simple, like a paradise.But it's not absolute, after all, such soil and water can also raise a person like Qiao Sen.

Mu Li sat on the co-pilot of the lead car, leaning against the back of the chair and sleeping soundly.She was in the same car with the hermit and Lanny. Now the hermit was driving the car. Lanny was lying on the back seat to catch up on sleep. She was covered with a blanket. Although her eyes were closed, she was not actually asleep.Long journeys are always tiring, and she was a little sleepy after driving for two hours.But her brain is excited, she slept well last night, just took a nap, woke up now, lying on the back seat lazy, reluctant to get up.

It was the first time in her life that she took more than ten days of vacation, and she felt completely relieved.The fatigue accumulated before has also been completely eliminated during the ten-day holiday.There is plenty of time left for Assassin to prepare. She and Mu Li don’t need to prepare too many personal items. They prepare a little every day, and after ten days, they have already packed up.The time for this long journey is calculated in months, and it should take seven to eight months to complete the entire mission.This is still in a smooth situation. If there is an accident on the way, it will be difficult to say.The area west of the Himalayas is still untouched by the federalists.

The two cars parked slowly in a parking lot outside the gate of Fengsui. The hermit got out of the car and told everyone to wait in the car. She will be back soon.Immediately, everyone saw her go to a fast food restaurant next to the parking lot, and she came out after a while with a paper bag in her hand.

She first walked to the car where the four of Chou Zheng were, and took out two bracelet-shaped things from the paper bag and handed them to Chou Zheng and Lin Zhao. Chou Zheng and Lin Zhao had accustomed expressions on their faces, and they took them and put them on. on the right wrist.

Then the hermit returned to her car with the paper bag, took out the remaining two bracelets in the paper bag, and took out one Mu Li, and she put on the last one herself.

"It's impossible to enter and leave the city gate without a bracelet ID. It's not easy to make a fake bracelet ID. This thing is one-time, and it will be destroyed after use." She started the car while talking.

Lan Ni, He Yingning and Mo Kexin all have bracelet IDs, so there is no need to forge bracelet IDs, but this will leave a record of their first entry into the city gate.However, no one would be too bored to check the entry and exit records of the city gate.Even if you check it, it doesn't mean anything.

In this way, a group of 7 people successfully passed the towering Harvest Gate and entered the boundary of the Harvest City.As soon as you enter Harvest City, you can see farmland as far as you can see. It is the middle of winter, and Harvest City is located in the north. It has just snowed heavily a while ago, and the ground is covered with snow.The winter wheat fields are covered with snow, and occasionally there are a few pieces of wheat fields outcropping, and a little blue and yellow can be seen in the white snow.

Harvest City is the city-state with the smallest population in the entire Federation.The land is sparsely populated, the land is fertile, and the grain output is abundant, accounting for 58% of the total grain output of the entire Federation.After each season's grain is mature, it will be transported from Harvest City and sold to all parts of the Federation.In particular, some areas with barren land are almost all supported by the grain of Harvest City.And the rations of the federal army are all provided by Harvest City, so it can be said that General He Yun controls the lifeline of the federal army's food and grass.

The fields of white awns on both sides of the expressway seem to have no end. After driving for nearly an hour, when we turned over a high hill, we could see the dense urban buildings in the distance.There is smoke curling up, and the buildings here give people a feeling of traveling through the ages.The cornices and hanging corners are full of Chinese classical charm.But look carefully, but it is reinforced concrete, or assimilated diamond masonry.When Mu Li first arrived at the Gaia General’s Mansion, she once admired the antique flavor of the General’s Mansion. At that time, Lan Ni told her that if she had the opportunity to go to Harvest City in the future, she would be even more surprised, because the buildings there were basically antique buildings.

Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, what the eldest lady said is true.

In fact, the population is so sparsely populated because just after entering the Fengsui Gate from the City of Adventurers, it is the outer area of ​​the Weng City of the City of Harvest, which is the strategic buffer zone.Not far away is an inner gate of the Harvest Gate. After entering the inner gate, one has really entered the City of Harvest.

So when the car drove into the inner gate, it really became lively. The inner gate was directly connected to Dongluo, the city of Harvest City. As soon as you entered Dongluo, it was a scene of incomparable prosperity, and the countryside and fields disappeared.

When the car officially arrived in Dongluo, it was already six o'clock in the evening. It was getting dark early in winter, and the city lights were already on.But since he has already arrived in Dongluo, there is no reason for Miss He to stay out overnight.He Yingning had already contacted his family, so when everyone's car drove to the gate of Dongluo General's Mansion, there were already waiters from the General's Mansion waiting outside.

Their car was ushered into the Dongluo General's Mansion, and the eyes were full of white walls and black tiles, pavilions, towers and pavilions, which were even more simple and magnificent than the Gaia General's Mansion.A little less luxury and refinement, a little more grandeur.This is not only the General's Mansion, but also the mansion of the He family that has been passed down for a hundred years, and it is one of the three great Chinese families.

After parking the car, everyone got out of the car, and a waiter guided them to meet the master of the General's Mansion.The dinner party has been set, and all the people are led to the flower hall for dinner.The host, He Yun, was already waiting in it. When the waiter led everyone to push the door in, she was sitting on the main seat of the flower hall, holding the stove in her hand, closing her eyes and resting her mind.After the door opened, she put down the hand stove, raised a smile and got up to greet her.She was dressed in plain white and simple warm fur, with a string of one hundred and eight rosewood beads hanging around her neck, and her waist-length black hair was braided into scorpion braids and hung behind her.She is not very tall, but her bearing is extremely graceful.The beautiful facial features exude a solemn and elegant atmosphere, but the round glasses on the bridge of the nose soften her temperament, making her look more amiable.

"Mother!" He Yingning and He Yun reunited after a long absence. During the period, they experienced great difficulties, and they were almost separated from each other.Now that I have finally come back and see my mother, tears and emotions can't be controlled.Ruyan threw herself into He Yun's embrace.

"Good boy... It's good to be back, it's good to be back..." General He Yun at this moment is just an ordinary mother, gently stroking the child's head, comforting.

Everyone watched from the side with interest, and did not disturb the warmth of the reunion of relatives at this moment.Mu Li felt a little sentimental, she hadn't seen her relatives for a long time, and now, she didn't have any relatives, only Lan Ni was left.As for Lan Ni, she was separated from her relatives, and she didn't know when she would see them again. Seeing such a scene, she must have been touched by the scene, and she could feel the changes in her emotions just by standing beside her.She thought, try to divert Lan Ni's attention tonight, so as not to make her feel too sad.

General He Yun once had a married husband who was also a soldier. Not long after having He Yingning, he died in the battle against the insect horde.He Yingning also has an older brother named He Ziping.However, when He Ziping was training in the field during his military service, he was bitten by poisonous insects and injured his brain nerves. Since then, he has been paralyzed in bed and needs constant care.

The mother and daughter cuddled together, gradually calming down their emotions.General He Yun wiped the corners of his eyes, straightened his clothes, and bowed to everyone:

"You can't repay the grace of saving your life. It's too light to say thank you. The He family owes you a lot."

"Don't dare, General He, quickly raise your head, we can't afford such a great gift." The hermit, as a representative, hurried forward, gave him a little support, and said politely.

He Yun raised her head, with a smile on her face, and raised her hand as a gesture of invitation. Everyone followed the direction of her invitation, and saw the delicious food on the large pear blossom wood table beside the flower hall.It was cold, and almost every dish was hot on the small charcoal stove, waiting for everyone to enjoy it.

"Guests from Assassin, please take a seat quickly. After a long day of travel, warm up the meal with some hot dishes and wash away the dust."

Everyone sat down as promised.As the host, He Yun was the last to sit down. As soon as she sat firmly, she cast her gaze on Lan Ni and Mo Kexin, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Lanni, Xiao Kexin, I haven't seen you for many years. Alas, she has grown into a big girl. I met Xiao Kexin last year. She came to our place for business. Come and see me. Xiao Lan Ni, what's the matter with you, you haven't come for so long."

"Aunt He spared me. It's Lan Ni's fault for not visiting for so many years." Lan Ni quickly apologized with a smile.

"This won't work, you have to be fined a cup today." He Yun said.

"Okay." Lanny answered very simply.

Mu Li murmured in her heart, she and Lan Ni had known each other for so long, and she saw Lan Ni drinking in the bar on the day they first met.She didn't take a few sips of a small glass of cocktail.Therefore, Mu Li doesn't know how much she can drink, and guesses it shouldn't be a lot.Now the table is full of high-strength white wine, and Lanny is fined to drink a glass. Is it really okay?

It's just that if she blocked the wine, it would be very unreasonable.

He Yun asked Lan Ni to drink as a fine, but she didn't ask her to punish her right away.Today's reception banquet is very pure, without any involvement of interests, it is purely a gratitude banquet.To his savior, General He Yun, who has always attached great importance to affection, would not do such a thing as forcing people to drink.She greeted everyone to eat food first, because considering that everyone might be hungry after the long journey, she even served the staple food together.The freshly steamed white flour steamed buns are made of the authentic specialty wheat in Harvest City. They are fragrant, soft and very delicious.

Mu Li's stomach was already growling with hunger, and seeing everyone moving their chopsticks, she grabbed the steamed bun and took a big bite.It may be that her movements are a bit eye-catching, General He Yun immediately noticed her.After looking at it for a while, she asked:

"Could this be the legendary God of War Mu Li?"

Mu Li's mouth was full, and he was suddenly called on, feeling a little embarrassed.Fortunately, the hermit was there to help:

"This child is indeed Mu Li. God of War is exaggerating. She still needs training."

"Hey, Master Hermit is being humble. I think this kid is capable. I also know what happened to Gaia a while ago. It's not easy for this kid to get to this point." General He Yun said.

While they were talking, Mu Li quickly chewed and swallowed the food in her mouth. At the same time, she was also thinking about how much General He Yun knew about the situation.It seems that she understands the relationship between Gaia General's Mansion and Assassin, and also understands the inside story of what happened in Gaia some time ago.

Where did she hear about it?Was it her own intelligence network, or Gaia General's Mansion or Assassin's side who took the initiative to tell her.Or, in other words, General He Yun has actually joined their camp?

General He Yun seemed to want to ask about Mu Li, but Lan Ni chose to drink at this time.The topic was changed at once, and General He Yun didn't mention Mu Li again after that.

However, her focus soon shifted to Qiu Zheng.She had already heard about this dark-haired, blue-eyed, vicious-looking girl who desperately saved her daughter, and even went crazy for her daughter, almost killing all the military and police in Chu City by herself.Regarding this child, General He Yun had mixed feelings, being grateful, worried, and slightly apprehensive.However, he still spoke a few words of concern. Seeing Qiu Zheng speak coldly, with a strong evil spirit on his body, the gratitude in his heart was weakened a bit.

After the welcome banquet, everyone was led to the guest room by the waiter.He Yingning, who finally came home, took a good shower and went back to her room. Her personal maid, the girl with short hair, Dong Ling, was making the bed for her.She was sitting in front of the vanity mirror combing her wet long hair, when there was a knock on the door suddenly, and then General He Yun's voice sounded:

"Ningning, it's me. I have something to talk to you about."

"Mother, come in." He Yingning replied.

General He Yun pushed the door open and entered, Dong Ling hurriedly withdrew and closed the door behind her.General He Yun sat beside He Yingning, and said straightforwardly:

"Son, you really scared me when you went out this time. I'm really worried that you'll be alone all the time. I found a few good partners for you. Let's see who I like more."

He Yingning frowned, why did her mother ask her to go on a blind date again as soon as she came back?She pursed her lips and said:

"Mother, I will find someone by myself, you don't have to worry about it."

"Nonsense, you're 25 years old, and I haven't seen you looking for someone. My daughter's condition is not bad, and there are so many people chasing you. It's your own problem if you don't fall in love. This time I didn't say it, wait. Assassin’s people are gone, so you can go meet them, have a meal, and get to know them.”

He Yingning was silent for a moment, seeing General He Yun's resolute attitude, she sighed in despair.
