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

At this moment, almost everyone's face showed a look of surprise.

This also includes Xia Yun.

"Wan'er is here?"

As Xia Yun spoke, his eyes swept over the group of black-clad cavalrymen.

It was at this time that a relatively thin man in black rode out from the crowd on horseback, followed by several guards.

When the thin man in black came in front of Xia Yun and took off his black mask, as expected, Xu Wan'er's face was revealed.

"Wan'er has met the Marshal."

Xu Wan'er took the initiative to dismount and immediately bowed to Xia Yun.

"Wan'er, why did you come here in person?"

There was some surprise in Xia Yun's words. He had originally only sent someone to the Utengger Prairie to contact Xu Wan'er, but did not let the other party come in person.

After all, Xu Wan'er also has a heavy burden on her shoulders now.

In order to implement Xia Yun's entire strategy, the plan to build a road from the Mobei grassland directly to the Dune Kingdom is of utmost importance.

The sooner Xu Wan'er repairs the road, the sooner he can command his army and launch an attack directly from the Mobei grasslands to the heartland of the Dune Kingdom!

"Don't worry, Marshal. The third phase of the road paving project has been fully launched. Wan'er had arranged everything before she came. It won't delay the progress of the project."

Having followed Xia Yun for so long, Xu Wan'er naturally knew what Xia Yun was most worried about, and she immediately began to explain.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk somewhere else."

Xia Yun nodded and looked around.

They had been away from Lantuo City for just over two hours, and the time was now around 9:30 in the evening.

In order to avoid any unexpected situations, Xia Yun's sight finally locked on the bottom of a small hill not far away.

Soon, Xia Yun brought everyone to the foot of the hill and set up camp.

When bonfires started to rise, a lot more light appeared in the originally dark night sky.

"After receiving your order, Marshal, Wan'er originally planned to assign General Jiang Wenzhong to come, but the Black Water Tower is related to core secrets, and Wan'er was worried, so she brought people here in person."

"The dozens of men in black who came with Wan'er on this trip are all carefully selected experts who are fully capable of establishing the Black Water Tower stronghold in Lantuo City."

After everyone settled down, Xu Wan'er spoke up and reported the current situation to Xia Yun.

At this time, there were only a few people around the campfire where Xu Wan'er and Xia Yun were, including Xiang Wentian, Jiang Wenzhong, Tuoba Jinghui, and Huyan Juelu, all of whom were Xia Yun's trusted generals.

Among them, only Huyan Jueluo had just joined Xia Yun's army.

"Lord Wan'er, Lantuo City has been sealed off. I'm afraid the people you brought with you won't be able to enter the city in the short term."

As soon as Xu Wan'er finished speaking, she spoke to Xiang Wentian.

"What's going on? What happened?"

Xu Wan'er immediately looked surprised.

Xiang Wentian then told them everything that had happened to them in Lantuo City.

After a quarter of an hour, Xu Wan'er finally knew what Xia Yun and his group had done in Lantuo City.

"In this case, Lantuo City will soon have a new city lord. However, this will only make the situation more favorable for us."

"After the new city lord takes office, we can take the initiative to make friends with him. By then, our foundation in Lantuo City will become more unshakable, and the crisis facing the Grassland Inn will be easily resolved."

After learning about the current situation in Lantuo City, Xu Wan'er's face not only did not show any worry, but became full of confidence.

This was a huge change in her thinking and cognition since she had been following Xia Yun for a long time.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money except feelings.

If so, it means there is not enough silver!

"Wan'er is right. The new city lord is indeed more beneficial to us."

"You can let the people you brought with you to set up camp outside the city temporarily. When Lantuo City reopens, let them enter the city and take the initiative to contact the Grassland Inn."

Xia Yun nodded and said that he was very satisfied with Xu Wan'er's analysis.

Xu Wan'er is now able to stand on her own and is no longer the mentor who always followed him.

"How long do you expect it will take to complete the road paving project on the Mobei grassland?"

Xia Yun then changed the subject and asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.

"In reply to the Marshal, the entire process is about halfway completed. The road from Inner Mongolia to the Wutengger Prairie is now open."

"The only distance left is from the Utengger Prairie to the Dune Kingdom's Gulan City. It is estimated to take about fifty days."

Xu Wan'er responded immediately, with a very serious expression on her face.

"Well, you have done a great job. We must speed up the road paving process and complete the road paving plan before the Dune Kingdom discovers our true intentions."

Xia Yun said with an affirmative tone.

"Sir, are you planning to go to St. Anthony's City?"

Suddenly, Xu Wan'er asked cautiously.

She only learned about Xia Yun's appearance in the Dune Kingdom after Xia Yun sent the message.

In fact, when Xu Wan'er received the news for the first time, she was shocked.

After all, the Dune Kingdom is a kingdom with a very strong foundation. Although the army has now occupied the city of Ktor, it only controls part of the eastern part of the Dune Kingdom.

At this time, Xia Yun only led more than a hundred people deep into the heart of the Dune Kingdom. This behavior undoubtedly carried great risks.

"Yes, we are indeed going to St. Anthony's City."

Xia Yun admitted it immediately without any concealment.

"My lord, this is too dangerous."

After getting Xia Yun's clear answer, Xu Wan'er's face suddenly showed a look of deep worry.

"It's okay. I'm afraid that the Dune Kingdom can't pose a threat to me."

Xia Yun patted Xu Wan'er's head gently, with a look of great relief in his eyes.

However, just when Xia Yun thought that the matter was over, Xu Wan'er's eyes immediately revealed a very determined look.

"If you insist on going, I will go too."

Xu Wan'er spoke without any hesitation, as if she had already made up her mind.

Xia Yun was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect Xu Wan'er to make such a decision.

"If you come with me, what will happen to the progress of the project on the Mobei grassland?"

Xia Yun asked.

"Wan'er had already arranged all the details of the road paving project before she came. And with General Chen Jingzhong in charge on the grassland, it will definitely be foolproof."

Xu Wan'er responded without hesitation.
