Just a few minutes into closing his eyes, Lan Wu was startled by the bodyguard who was about to report something.
"Excuse me, the area on the right side of Zhong city appeared about 100 people of the late rank Saints who were lined up in front of the city wall..!" The voice of the bodyguard suddenly made Lan wu stand up from her seat.
"Did you say..?! Immediately call General Hugin to hurry there, you and the palace soldiers immediately secure the community to the shelter..!" Lan wu's orders then quickly disappeared from before the bodyguard.
Arriving at Lan wu on the right side of the city, he went straight up to the wall that had lined up neatly hundreds of archers ready to release his bow.
"Your highness.they want to enter the city fortress, what should we do..?" Asked city guard Zhong in a worried tone.
"Stay in vain your son of a soldier. I will speak directly to their leader" Lan wu explained patting the man on the shoulder.
He advanced to the front row on the wall and jumped down.
"Your highness..!" Hugin cried out in a worried tone from above the wall.
"Relax.you stay alert" Lan wu replied in a calm tone.
Lan wu advanced several steps closer to the cavalry without expending her energy or aura.
"Sorry to make a fuss in your glorious place, I and my team heard that you are looking for people to put into your army.
We are a group of travelers from one city to another and live depending on the payment of large families or people who give us jobs" said the man before Lan wu in a calm tone.
"We would like to offer to join your army and be willing to serve the Qin empire as long as our needs are met" the man continued.
"You're an ex-soldier?" Lan Wu asked looked at the leader of the troupe.
"You are right, your majesty, exactly we are all independent troops from the alliance of the 4 kingdoms while fighting against the white dragon palace" the man replied making Lan wu a little surprised.
"What's your name?"
"The name of Mianfei's servant, your highness" the man's jawba in a polite tone.
"Hugin, immediately open this gate and lower them to the training barracks. Prepare clothes and weapons and train them regularly for 3 months" orders Lan wu who was then obeyed by Hugin.
"Thank you, my life is yours..." Mianfei then followed Hugin's direction.
Lan wu felt a little relieved by the addition of a few experienced people regardless of the group's true purpose of joining, but as long as there was no ill will towards the empire she did not take issue with it.
A week since the tax increase was announced, Lan Wu had listened to the voices of others questioning her decision. Of course according to what Lan wu had said earlier.
Amidst the situation, Lan wu told the Jia family to put their merchandise into the 4 cities at normal market prices.
The items included in these cities were herbs, pills, foodstuffs, iron, and high-end weapons.
Not only in the city, Lan Wu also had the Jia family offer some cultivation materials and sky-grade weapons to the sakte-sakte in the 4 cities.
Lan wu plans to push the economy to 4 cities, especially 5-color pavilions, and establish relationships with sakte-sakte and extended families in the 4 cities.
**
Three days later Lan wu and Yiyi got an invitation letter from the god's sword to attend the test of the 5 sakte on the god's sword.
Lan wu did not miss this opportunity to take a short vacation from her job as an emperor. He asked General Hugin and 20 golden dragon troops to accompany him to the sword of the god.
"This sakte is getting bigger, my husband." amazed Yiyi while holding tightly Lan wu's hand.
"True..it feels like I haven't been here for a very long time." replied Lan wu who was slightly moved.
Lan wu's arrival was greeted with great fanfare by the god's sword disciples who had learned of their arrival.
"Welcome, your majesty." greet Wulan Sui with a friendly smile.
"Am I late?" Lan Wu asked while helping Yiyi get off the horse carriage.
"Not yet noble, please follow me to your seat" said Wulan sui guiding the two.
Every special elder and disciple who saw Lan Wu suddenly stood up and saluted until he finally arrived at a chair specially occupied by important people.
"Greetings to the father and grandfather of chairman Jian" Lan wu and Yiyi said saluting the emperors An and Jian.
"Hahaha.I really did not expect that you could come here, let's sit down" said Emperor An.
"Where's brother Ling?" Lan Wu asked who did not find Ling's whereabouts.
"He is working on some business with his student" Jian explained in a relaxed tone.
"You are so talented in governing, why don't you just stay in the palace?" Said Jian mocking Lan wu.
"Brotty grandfather..! You haven't changed, have you..?" Lan Wu growled about to pull Jian's beard.
"Hahahaha.kakek Jian.don't tease him anymore, he's been quite tormented all this time" continued Yiyi chuckling.
"Rather than you being so hot, why not look at the Sakte chiefs on the right side there?" Tell Jian to gulp down his drink.
Lan wu reflexively stared at the direction where the Sakte chiefs were sitting. He did not expect that the heavenly eagle had been led by the son of Jan.
The sun temple sakte chief has also been replaced by Sun er grandson of the Shu chief.
"Their abilities have developed to be so terrifying" Lan wu said after observing the two women.
Elder Feng started the match after explaining the rules in the match.
"The spirit is Xu'er...! Mother supports you don't lose.!" Yiyi shouted as she waved her hands from the audience seats.
Lan wu who saw this immediately patted her head with mixed feelings.
The match took place between Xuya and the students from the peach mountain.
The fight of the two went short with Xuya's victory.
The elders and everyone who watched the match praised Xuya's ability to defeat her opponent with a single move.
Match after match was very interesting except when Xuya was competing. No matter who the opponent was he managed to obtain victory so easily.
Actually Lan wu did not pay much attention to the match but rather reminisced in that place.
Eventually, an incident occurred in the arena.
