Arriving at the store, lan wu rushed in and asked for the whereabouts of xioca and others. According to the words of the shopkeeper, xioca and others had left a few hours before lan wu came. The shopkeeper also said that xioca told lan wu to first visit the palace of the blue gold emperor.
Lan wu was a little astonished by the request of the xioca, moreover they should not have left without telling their purpose.
"Well, if they come back here tell xioca to wait for me" lan wu said as she jumped into the air.
Lan wu decided to visit the emperor's palace. He was so curious about the meaning of the xioca that told him so. Not long after finally lan wu arrived in front of the entrance gate. He did not expect that the guard at the gate was so tight. Even the palace maid who was about to enter had to pass through a special examination at the gate.
Now lan wu's turn to check, it appears that almost 19 soldiers are standing around him. They seem to know that lan wu is not a resident can, maybe they see a robe and sword that is on the waist of lan wu. Lan Wu was then invited to approach a post that was right next to the gate to do the next inspection.
"Are you from the Qin empire?" Tany was a soldier who was inside the post.
Lan wu simply nodded while watching her surroundings.
"The robe you wear is a sacred robe in this palace, every old soldier like me would tremble at the sight of this robe, the robe worn by a demon to slaughter our people and families, we hate people so much from the sword of the gods..!!" The soldier's shout suddenly made everyone stare towards lan wu.
" Our great general, be ashamed of you..! And now you dare to enter the palace territory alone?! It seems like the elder is looking too lightly at our empire.!" Said the soldier while mobilizing his manager to menseang lan wu.
However lan wu easily resisted the blows from the soldier then slammed him to the ground. He stared around as he pulled out a silent sword from his scabbard. Lan wu stood up straight and stared intently at the people who had been staring at her with hateful gazes.
"I am the one who slaughtered the lives of the blue gold people, if you want revenge please come forward. I will serve you" lan wu said in a flat tone.
Lan wu's words made people who were lined up in front of the gate suddenly run away in disarray. While the soldiers guarding the gate appear to be on standby while forming an attacking formation.
Lan wu who saw this only sighed while patting her eel. He felt that his choice to come to the palace was not a good thing.
"Xioca, I hope there's something important you want to show me, but if this is just part of your plan to work on me. This is not very funny.!" Lan wu muttered while running towards the soldiers who were approaching her.
He easily managed to slash the legs of the soldiers. It didn't take long for lan wu to subvert the entire gate guard soldiers. Now outside the gate decorated by the roar of the soldiers who were wounded by the lan wu sword. Lan wu simply paralyzed the movements of the soldiers without killing them. He is worried that old grudges will again take their toll if he is carried away by his emotions.
"Did they not care about the cries of these soldiers?" Lan wu muttered slightly in wonder.
He actually wanted to lure the leader of the soldiers out, so he would be easier to talk about the purpose of his arrival. Lan wu thought that if she entered the palace without any information, it would be so difficult for her to inspect the area within the palace, moreover she wanted to end the old grudge between herself and the blue golden empire.
Lan wu did not expect that there were still people in the blue gold empire who still held a grudge against her, whereas lan wu thought after fighting together against an enemy from outside there was no longer a grudge between empires in the west, but apparently lan wu estimates missed. The war only united people with the same ambition, after the war was over and so did the alliance.
Lan wu finally decided to disguise herself as a soldier in order to move more freely within the palace. He first remembered the soldiers and was placed behind the guard post, after making sure there was nothing left. Lan wu finally moved inside the palace.
The guard inside the palace was not as strict as outside, making it easier for lan wu to enter the palace.
The room in the palace is very large, there are several rooms that must be passed in order to reach the throne of the emperor. Lan wu's goal was to find some old soldiers to ask some questions about the activities of the troops and the plans that were being carried out by the emperor.
Basically every army in an empire is divided into several levels according to the color of the armor they wear. The black armour was a level 1 army that had only been on duty for a few months. Special designers were assigned to guard the emperor's residence and were not allowed to carry out missions. The 2nd is white armor, which is a reliable cavalry and archery army. They are tasked with protecting the country from invasions and enemy attacks.
Next was the red armor, they were troops that had gone through various wars and were of great merit towards the empire. Their job was to dig up information as well as conduct shock attacks to scramble the opponent's defenses, they became the main pawns in an attack after providing important information to the people in the palace.
Last is the golden armour, the special forces tasked with protecting the royal members. In this division usually gold armor level warriors master the science of warfare, and cultivate at the level of the early holy stage, and can continue to increase depending on the training they undergo.
(Back to story).
"Sorry brother, are you aware of the events that are emerging in our empire?" Lan wu asked the 2 soldiers.
"Of course senior, but it is strange to see Anada who is a red-army soldier but does not know this" replied one of the soldiers in a surprised tone.
"Hahahahaha, I've been on vacation for a few days to my family's house, so I don't know what happened in the palace. I just want to add to the information earlier start investigating it" lan wu replied in a calm tone.
The two soldiers stared at each other while nodding slowly. " Well if so senior, actually these few weeks the soldiers of the red armor level have been lowered to the QIN imperial area. They were assigned to.." the soldier's speech was cut off along with the appearance of a general from behind the door they guarded.
"Honor to General Can" the two soldiers said, bowing.
Lan wu who was still speechless finally immediately bowed to cover her shock.
The general was seen looking at lan wu with a sharp gaze, he then approached and stood right in front of lan wu who was still down.
"Aren't you supposed to be in the Qin empire, even though the red-army soldiers have been sent down as many as 200 troops, but it's not enough to deal with the precarious situation that will occur" general Can said with a firm tone.
"Sorry general. I just came home from my holiday, which is why I asked my juniors before leaving for the QIN empire. Sorry to interrupt your time, I was willing to catch up with my colleagues" said lan wu as she turned around and walked slowly.
"Stop.!" Said the general immediately making lan wu a little wary.
"Forget it, I happened to need a red-army warrior to escort the emperor's daughter to the blue mountain sake" the general said.
"Sorry general, isn't that a special duty of the golden armour senior?" Lan wu asked in a surprised tone.
"Yes, but the golden armour soldier is not as much as before. Now the golden armour only 50 people remain, besides their age is not young anymore, until the active. The job is about 20 more. Several others had been assigned to escort the prince to the eastern region, and there were only 5 people left to escort the princess. With you it will be easier in terms of analyzing the terrain and the killers who are lurking" explained the general.
Lan wu could not resist, besides that she would also be more clearly informed about the purpose of the prince as well as the red-army soldiers sent to the QIN empire. Many things stuck in the mind of lan wu, for some reason he felt like a bad feeling behind the movement of the blue gold empire. He wanted to know more clearly about it, for the business of wu Jia he handed over to xioca and yiyi.
There must be a reason for xioca to have lan wu come to the palace area, while the reason why yiyi and the others left first could be that they had discovered the existence of wu Jia and had had a way to fight Kun and xuliy.
