Phew!
The Dragon Horse stopped ten steps away from Luo Cheng.
"Greetings, Your Highness!”
"General Liang, please excuse us." Luo Cheng wore bright silver armor, his right hand holding the Five Hook Divine Flying Spear, his left hand holding the reins.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Liang Shi stood up.
"General, is there a reason for your visit?”Luo Cheng asked with a smile.
"Your Highness is wise. The Crown Prince had a tough journey escorting them, so he ordered me to give you a pill. This pill can condense Qi and blood and help the Crown Prince break through to the Marrow Cleansing realm.”
After saying that, Liang Shi got off his horse and walked towards Luo Cheng with a green jade bottle in his hand.
Hiss, Luo Cheng gasped and hung the Five Hook Divine Flying Spear on the Victory Hook. He quickly got off his horse and went over to meet him.
After receiving the jade bottle from Liang Shi, he opened it gently and sniffed it. Just the fragrance of the pill made him feel that the circulation of his blood and Qi had increased by a little.
He quickly closed the jade bottle.
Luo Cheng knew that this pill was definitely extraordinary.
Raising his head to look at the carriage that had disappeared into the distance, Luo Cheng bowed respectfully and stood up. He looked at Liang Shi and said,"General, please tell wangye that Luo Cheng is indebted to you. If there is a chance, he will definitely thank wangye personally.”
"Prince is too polite. If there is nothing else, this one will go back and hand over the order to wangye.”
"General, please go ahead."
"Oh, right." Liang Shi, who had turned around and walked a few steps, stopped and turned around."His Royal Highness has instructed that when this pill is consumed, it needs to be fully circulated until the medicinal effects are exhausted.”
"Luo Cheng will remember this. Thank you for your reminder, General.”
"Farewell!"
After cupping his hands once more, Liang Shi mounted his horse and gave a shout before riding it in the direction of the carriage.
"Order the army to set up camp five miles away from White Cloud City and return tomorrow morning!”
"Here!"
After receiving the order, Luo Cheng took a deep look at the Yue Cavalry Camp that had left. He turned around and mounted his horse, leading the army to slowly retreat and set up camp five li away.
At the south gate, after the imperial edict was verified, the suspension bridge was lowered and the cavalry camp entered the city.
Inside the city gates, General Lu Tong led the generals of the White Cloud City and the civil officials of the White Cloud City who had heard the news to pay their respects to King Jing.
"Everyone, please excuse the formalities."
Walking out of the carriage, Li Lin, who was wearing armor, reached out to support him. Then, he said,"The sky is already dark. Everyone, go back. Tomorrow at four in the morning, come to the wangfu.”
After saying that, Li Lin looked at Lu Tong."Wandering Cavalry General, Lu Tong!"
"I'm here!" Lu Tong took a step forward and bowed.
"Bring me to the Imperial Residence."
"Here! I will obey your orders!"
"Farewell, Your Highness!"
The rest of the generals and civil officials bowed to send them off. The carriage started moving, and Lu Tong led his personal guards to lead the way. They set off towards the newly built King Jing Residence in the north.
King Jing's Mansion occupied a large area. The walls of the mansion were fifty feet high and more than ten feet thick. The sides were several miles long and divided into five sections.
There were various personal guards who set up the drill ground, barracks, lakes, rockery, pavilions, etc.
In addition, there were also arrangements for the residences and offices of the various officials.
The Prince of Kaifu can set up dozens of officials such as Changshi, Sima, Cao Zhubo and so on. The location of the government office could be within the residence or outside the residence.
In any case, the entire White Cloud City was in Li Lin's hands. Whether it was good or bad, it was up to him to deal with it.
After entering King Jing's estate, the Yue Cavalry Battalion took over the duties of guarding the estate. The original servants and soldiers were all given rewards and sent out of the estate to be taken away by Lu Tong.
In the backyard, Zhang Han was already waiting with a hundred Shadow Secret Guards.
These 100 Shadow Secret Guards would guard the courtyard where Li Lin lived.
The rest of the secret guards had long used their identities to hide in White Cloud City.
As for the servants and maids in the residence, Zhang Han had already selected hundreds of them. Later, some of them would be sent to the residence to fill the various positions in the residence.
"Greetings, Young Master!"
These old men still addressed Li Lin as Young Master. This was also his request.
"Get up and disperse.”
"Here!"
Hundreds of Shadow Secret Guards scattered and hid everywhere, guarding the entire courtyard.
Zhang Han stayed behind.
Together with Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and the Four Sword Servants, they served as Li Lin's personal guards.
Of course, Zhang Han had the Shadow Secret Guard to lead, so he couldn't be around all the time. Dian Wei and Xu Chu might be assigned other tasks by Li Lin.
Only the Four Sword Servants served him at all times.
Other than the emperor, only Li Lin would have such a grand appearance to use a Xiantian expert as a maid.
Whether it was the top aristocratic families or the sects and holy lands.
Innate experts were definitely the backbone of elites. It was absolutely impossible for them to be used as maids.
After the Four Sword Servants cleaned up the bed and warmed it, Li Lin took a hot bath and went to bed to rest.
Chun Lan and Xia He, wearing only their undergarments, crawled into the sandalwood bed with red faces.
The
next day, he woke up early to wash up. After eating court food, Li Lin summoned the civil and military officials of White Cloud City in the main hall of the courtyard.
He encouraged them a few times and told them to continue to be in charge of their previous matters and not slack off.
Then, he checked the treasury in the city. After he had an idea, he looked at Lu Tong and said,"His Majesty has specially permitted White Cloud City to recruit 30,000 soldiers. How many soldiers does White Cloud City currently have?”
"Your Highness, White Cloud City currently has 7,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry, a total of 10,000 soldiers!”Lu Tong stepped forward and bowed to report.
"How is his strength?"
"This…" Lu Tong hesitated."I'm useless. Out of ten thousand soldiers, less than three thousand have entered the Body Tempering realm. There are more than ten ten-man captains, several hundred in the Bone-Forging realm, and less than ten in the Tendon Transformation realm. I am the only one in the Xiantian Realm.”
That's right, Lu Tong was a Connate Blood Solidification Realm expert, but he was only at the initial stage.
I haven't made an inch of progress for years.
And there were so many armored warriors at the Body Tempering stage and above because this place was close to the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, where they could obtain many great medicines and vicious beast meat.
However, they were only stationed soldiers, so they wouldn't be able to gain much.
Adding on the fact that his salary wasn't much, his current strength was enough to prove Lu Tong's ability.
"This king understands."
Li Lin nodded, and Lu Tong returned to the formation.
"However, White Cloud City is the northernmost city, and it is also threatened by the ferocious beasts in the Pillar of Heavens Mountains.”
"Let me introduce two of my colleagues.”
With that, two generals came out from the back of the hall and came to the bottom of the steps. They bowed to Li Lin and shouted,"General Li Cunxiao (Gao Shun) greets Your Highness!”
"Lu Tong!"
"I'm here!" Lu Tong stood up.
"This general will appoint Gao Shun as the commander of the soldiers of King Jing's mansion and Li Cunxiao as the general of White Cloud City. After that, you will have to cooperate with the two generals to recruit new soldiers and train soldiers.”
"All the resources, weapons, and armor will be handled by me, understand?”
"I will obey your orders!"
He glanced at Li Cunxiao and Gao Shun.
Li Cunxiao didn't seem to have much of an imposing manner, but Gao Shun, who was standing beside him, had an imposing manner that was many times stronger than his own. He knew that these two were far stronger than him.
In addition, he was the confidant of His Highness, King Jing, who was above them.
Although he was disappointed that his power had been taken away, he did not dare to say anything and could only obey the order.
