At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

"The new reinforcements sent by the court will arrive in Monto City soon. Our army can then march together with the reinforcements."

Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. From the beginning of the war to today's situation, the Daliang Dynasty has already gained a great advantage.

All they have to do next is to close the door and beat the dog.

"How is Lord Zhao Gongming doing these days?"

Then, Xiao Yan turned his gaze to Chong Heihu and asked.

After being trapped in Mengtu City for nearly ten days, Xiao Yan is not very clear about the situation in the outside world.

"Lord Zhao Gongming is leading his troops to attack in all directions, with Baideng Mountain as the center."

Chong Heihu quickly told what he knew.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan looked into the distance again, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

……

After four or five days of travel, Xia Yun and his group, disguised as a caravan, finally arrived at Lantuo City at noon that day.

Lantuo City is much larger than Xia Yun expected.

And from here on, whether it was the city walls of Lantuo City or the various scenes inside and outside the city walls, they began to show a style that was completely different from that of the Daliang Dynasty.

Entering the city from the east gate of Lantuo City, Xia Yun and others took a look and saw a very lively and noisy scene.

The entire street is filled with merchants from all over the world, street vendors, and various dignitaries who come to travel.

At the same time, Xia Yun's caravan of forty or fifty people quickly attracted the attention of others.

Especially Xia Yun's appearance that looked like a person from the Central Plains made many people surprised.

"Boss, let's find a place to stay first."

Tuoba Jinghui suddenly moved closer to Xia Yun and spoke in a deliberately low voice.

Obviously, he also noticed some unfriendly looks around him.

Now is the time of the great war in the northern border, although the Daliang Dynasty and the Shaqiu Dynasty have not explicitly declared war.

But everyone knew that the war had already begun.

"Well, you can arrange it."

Xia Yun nodded.

This was his first time in Lantuo City, and he felt quite curious about everything in Lantuo City.

But those unfriendly looks still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

If it were any other time, he would have already ordered Chong Heihu to arrest the person.

After a while, Xia Yun and his group passed through the downtown area.

Finally, the group followed Tuoba Jinghui to the center of the city, a hotel called Grassland Inn.

"The Prairie Inn..."

Xia Yun read out the few large words on the hotel's plaque, and a thoughtful look immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Brother Tuoba, is there any relationship between this inn and the Tuoba tribe?"

At this time, Xiang Wentian asked from the side.

Tuoba Jinghui chuckled when he heard this.

"This inn was jointly funded by several barbarian tribes on the grassland. My Tuoba tribe also holds a share, so we can be considered to have some connection with it."

Tuoba Jinghui explained with a smile.

At the moment when Tuoba Jinghui finished speaking, a middle-aged figure walked out of the door of the Grassland Inn.

"Brother, you are here!"

The middle-aged figure walked out of the store, and when he saw Tuoba Jinghui, he instantly revealed a look of great joy.

When the middle-aged man came to Tuoba Jinghui, Tuoba Jinghui turned to Xia Yun and his group and introduced the middle-aged man's identity.

"Boss, this is my third brother Tuoba Jingcheng."

Third brother?

Xia Yun raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had never expected that Tuoba Jinghui's third brother would be in Lantuo City.

When Tuoba Jingcheng heard Tuoba Jinghui call Xia Yun "boss", he immediately knew the identity of the young man in front of him.

It was none other than Xia Yun, the Great Marshal of the Daliang Dynasty, who commanded an army of more than 600,000!

For a moment, Tuoba Jingcheng was about to kneel down and pay homage to Xia Yun.

Fortunately, Xia Yun was quick-witted and instantly reached out to stop Tuoba Jingcheng's action.

"Since you are brothers, there is no need to be polite."

Xia Yun smiled and nodded.

"Boss, before leaving Ketu City this time, I wrote a letter in advance to inform Tuoba Jingcheng of the news, so that we can be prepared for any eventuality."

Then, Tuoba Jinghui began to explain.

During this trip to the Dune Kingdom, Xia Yun’s safety is of paramount importance, so he has to take some measures in advance.

“I am my wife. I am my wife.”

Xia Yun laughed.

Tuoba Jinghui had already proved his loyalty, so Xia Yun didn't need to delve too deeply into these matters.

Soon, led by Tuoba Jingcheng, the group entered the grassland inn.

Afterwards, Tuoba Jingcheng prepared guest rooms for Xia Yun and his group as soon as possible.

After putting their luggage away, Xia Yun, Tuoba Jinghui, Xiang Wentian and others came into a private room.

The rest of the accompanying personnel were arranged in the hall.

While informing the kitchen to prepare the meal, Tuoba Jingcheng explained the origin of the Grassland Inn to Xia Yun and others.

"Back then, the Daliang Dynasty repeatedly waged war against the Mobei Grassland and blocked all supplies shipped from the Daliang Dynasty to the Mobei Grassland. Therefore, the various barbarian tribes on the Mobei Grassland had no choice but to open up trade routes to the north in order to survive."

"Finally, under the alliance of several tribes including the Tuoba and Tatar tribes, they jointly opened a grassland inn in Lantuo City as a transit station for grassland merchants."

"In addition to receiving guests and staying overnight, the Grassland Inn is also responsible for selling grassland goods and ordering supplies such as tea, rice, oil, and salt..."

In the box, Tuoba Jingcheng told the origin of the Grassland Inn.

However, after Tuoba Jingcheng finished speaking, a look of doubt appeared on Xia Yun's face.

"Is there anyone else in charge of the Prairie Inn now?"

Xia Yun asked after thinking for a moment.

According to what Tuoba Jingcheng said just now, the Grassland Inn was jointly established by the Tuoba, Tatar and other barbarian tribes.

But now, except for the Tuoba tribe, several other tribes are at war with the Daliang Dynasty.

If other barbarian tribes knew that the commander of the Daliang Dynasty appeared in the grassland inn, he would probably be in big trouble.

"Don't worry, Marshal. After the Northern Frontier War began, the Grassland Inn has been under the control of our Tuoba tribe. All personnel from other barbarian tribes have withdrawn from Lantuo City."

Tuoba Jingcheng understood the hidden meaning of Xia Yun's words and immediately began to explain.

At the same time, a voice came out of Tuoba Jinghui's mouth.

"In order to win over the Tuoba tribe, the Dune Dynasty gave us many benefits, and this grassland inn is one of them."

After hearing the two people's explanation, Xia Yun's worries quickly disappeared.

However, he heard another meaning from Tuoba Jinghui's words.

It seems that the Tuoba clan was betting on both sides. While forming an alliance with the Daliang Dynasty, they also received so many benefits from the Shaqiu Dynasty.
