Chapter 247 (2/2)

”You stupid bull, why are you asking so many questions?” Long Yi jumped and gave Barbarian Bull a sudden and violent knock on his head, then left Ximen mansion in large strides.

Xiao Yi slowly opened her eyes, then holding her hand, she sat up. And with her long cloud-like hair coming loose, she had a kind of inexplicable beauty. After sitting like this for a long while, Xiao Yi directly stood up, then made strange gestures with her hands, setting up a layer of transparent barrier in the room. If Long Yi was here, he definitely would have been greatly surprised, the strength of this barrier set up by Xiao Yi was absolutely not inferior to the powerful barrier personally set up by him.

Xiao Yi muttered an obscure incantation, and her belly b.u.t.ton shone with soft milky white radiance, then this radiance slowly moved upward, and finally opening her lotus mouth, a milky white pearl floated out from her mouth and continuously rotated in midair.

Xiao Yi complicatedly looked at this pearl in the sky and her transparent eyes suddenly shed tears, as she muttered: ”Master, Xiao Yi has disappointed you, Xiao Yi is no longer able to control her own heart.” Finished speaking, Xiao Yi gritted her teeth, then urgently waved her hands. After that, her body emitted a light purple colored halo, and mysterious runes were dimly visible on them.

Suddenly, Xiao Yi's long and slender jade finger flicked the pearl in the sky, and that purple light immediately shot towards that pearl, then the pearl instantly began to spin faster, suddenly issuing a light cracking sound, and a speck of starlight flowed in torrent, fluttering in the sky of the room, making this room appear as if a small universe.

Xiao Yi raised her head, and her red lips opened and closed faster and faster, and a radiance wandered about inside her transparent eyes. And after an unknown period of time, the entire body of Xiao Yi trembled, the starlight inside the room fell down and seeped into the body of Xiao Yi little by little. When everything returned to calm, Xiao Yi's limp charming body collapsed on the bed.

Long Yi first came to Ministry of War to report and received the Military Tally as well as the uniform of Deputy General. With this Military Tally, Long Yi could now freely select any 15,000 military forces other than imperial bodyguards.

At this time, Ximen Nu was sitting inside the secret room of Ximen Mansion. He had an intelligence report in his hand which was unexpectedly sent by Ximen Yu using the Skynet. This was the report on the matter of Ye Wufeng's wife, Madame Ye having illicit s.e.xual relations with Crown Prince Long Ying.

”Long Zhan really has good means, actually moving his sword with side stroke, it seems I have to make a thorough investigation of these aids' family members, Ye clan……” Ximen Nu muttered to himself. Ye clan had always been loyal and devoted to Ximen clan for many generations, and Ye Wufeng even more was his trusted confidant, and believed that Ye Wufeng would never betray him, merely he was very doting on his wife, and he would never keep guard against her, so Ximen Nu wondered if Ye Wufeng had already disclosed their core secret to her or not? Beautiful women bring on disaster. [T.L: moving his sword with side stroke (idiom) = unexpected winning move]

Ximen Nu had no intention to move against Madame Ye for the time being, otherwise it would beat the gra.s.s and startle the snake. Long Zhan can use honey-trap, then why can't I beat him in his own game, releasing some fake intelligence to deceive them, and see who will emerge victorious in the end.

”Boss, where are we going to select the soldiers?” En route, Barbarian Bull asked.

Long Yi smirked and said: ”Digging the corners of Beitang clan. Condor and Fierce Tiger Legions are under the control of Long Zhan, so selecting from them is too big of a risk. Therefore, I have decided to go to Divine Wind Legion controlled by Beitang clan and select 15,000 soldiers.”

The size of Divine Wind Legion was much less compared to all other legions, and their battle capability as a whole was also not too high, but they said that Divine Wind Legion had one Divine Wind Battalion, which only consisted of the elites of Divine Wind Legion, roughly 20,000 soldiers, but Beitang clan absolutely wouldn't give them off. Military power was fundamental to have a footing, without soldiers they would be inferior to even a fart, and Beitang clan should be very clear about, so he feared that they would only give him some poor quality soldiers.

Divine Wind Legion was stationed at the west of Soaring Dragon City, where there was a wide expanse of forest and high mountain, a perfect place to train soldiers.

”These soldiers, this old bull alone can decimate them.” Seeing those lazy guards at the distant military camp, Barbarian Bull said. This military camp was basically incomparable to Violent Dragon Legion's military camp.

Long Yi however frowned, Divine Wind Legion was now under the son of Beitang Xiong, Beitang Duo who was an extremely strict person, so even if the combat capability of Divine Wind Legion was weak compared to other legions, it could never be so lazy. Moreover, even if it was like that, they should at least pretend to make themselves look better, how could they be so bad?

After Long Yi showed his Military Tally to the guards and entered the military camp, he revealed a profound smile. He could feel this place had many hidden lookouts spread across like a net. Loose outside but tight inside, one look at the circ.u.mstance and he knew that they were in mutual coordination, presumably these soldiers on the surface were merely a smoke bomb to confuse other people.

Beitang Duo leading several high-leveled military officials came to welcome him, and said with a bright smile: ”Second Young Master Ximen, we meet again.” The military officials beside him were somewhat puzzled looking at their legion commander, usually he was always reserved, but facing this Ximen Yu today, he appeared to be another person.

”Brother Beitang, you should already know this younger brother's purpose in coming, right?” Long Yi said with a smile.

Beitang Duo said with a smile: ”Of course, today you come to my Divine Wind Legion to select soldiers, this brother doesn't have any objection.”

”Brother Beitang is really a brother, since you have said it, this younger brother will not be polite, I heard Divine Wind Legion's Divine Wind Battalion is incomparably valiant, I wonder if it possible to part with them?” Long Yi straightforwardly spoke.

The smile of Beitang stiffened, this boy was very good, as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked the most elite soldiers under his leaders.h.i.+p. He smiled hollowly and said: ”Those smelly brats of Divine Wind Battalion are all unruly and have a very bad disciple, how about I introduce other elite troops which are more suitable for you brother?”
