After the immortal disappeared

After leaving the tavern, he took a deep breath of the slightly fishy sea breeze and looked at the stars in the sky.

The soul-telling mirror in his arms asked him: "Have you finally found the shortcomings of the Lu family?"

"Forget it." He Lingchuan sighed, "The Lu family's shortcomings are actually the shortcomings of most people."

"What?"

"Poor." He Lingchuan shook his head, "What his family lacks most is money, and I am the same."

Mirror thought for a moment and suddenly laughed.

He Lingchuan ignored it.

It smiled and felt bored, so it had to cough: "Don't you ask me why I'm laughing?"

"why are you laughing?"

"You don't want to stay in the Yuan Kingdom, because the country there is corrupt and there is no way to support it; but you have come all the way to Bailie, and the situation there is not necessarily much better than the Yuan Kingdom! Even you are still a foreigner, living in a different place. Mature." Isn't the disadvantage more obvious?

"Who said that?" He Lingchuan strolled on the trestle, "There are He Chunhua and Nai Luotian in Yuan Kingdom who care about me. Are they here? He Chunhua has worked hard for so many years, and his foundation in Yuan Kingdom is much deeper than mine. How much effort will I have to make? More than him?"

Say goodbye to the past and have a new beginning.

"More importantly, although the Yuan Kingdom is intact, it is limited by internal strife; Bailie is worried about foreign invasion." There are four or five countries around Bailie. The Qing Kingdom took away the Blade Port, and the Ya Kingdom let it cede territory and pay compensation. Bailie seemed to be destined to be beaten and bullied. He Lingchuan was new to the country and didn't know how this situation came to be, but he believed, "To be honest, foreign troubles are easier to solve than internal troubles."

Externally, there is still room for movement, and there is still room for vertical and horizontal integration; but internally, you have to use the knife on yourself, scrape your own bones, heal your own wounds, and sometimes you have to pinch your own neck.

Which one hurts more? Needless to say.

Therefore, in He Lingchuan's view, Bailie's troubles were actually much smaller than those of Yuan Kingdom.

On the contrary, he felt that he had come to the right place this time.

"Under the gaze of the gods, how can there be true peace in the world?" But if this was a peaceful time and everything was peaceful, how could there be room for him to show off his talents?

￥￥￥￥￥

The rising sun was shining brightly over the sea, and He Lingchuan happened to walk to the shore.

The sound of gulls and herons is heard, and the sand is as fine as snow.

It's so peaceful here. I don't know who's footprints were left on the beach, but were wiped away by the waves during high tide.

There have been so many passers-by in this harbor, coming and going in a hurry, and the traces they left behind are like footprints on the beach, which are gone in the blink of an eye.

Only the morning sun is still rising from here two hundred years later.

He Lingchuan sighed in his heart, and someone behind him said: "Commander, we found the people, they are resting in the inn at the port!"

It's Hu Min.

He Lingchuan turned around and said to the guards behind him: "Let's go pick them up."

He is in Baishawan, the largest free port in southern Xi'an.

In the real world, he met up with Aunt Zhu, Dong Rui and others at Baishawan, and then took a boat out to sea from here. After two months of wind and waves, he finally arrived at the remote Blade Port.

The Baisha Bay in Panlong World is not much different from what it was more than 170 years ago. The sand is as fine as before, the ship is docked at the port, and human beings are like worker bees, slowly spending the rest of their lives in busy work.

This scene seems familiar.

But the inn where He Lingchuan stayed before boarding the ship is still just a bubble. The port layout of Baisha Bay is also slightly different from what it was 170 years ago.

Hu Min took him forward and soon arrived at Yongfang Inn.

He Lingchuan looked at the shape of this inn several times before he was sure that it still existed one hundred and seventy years later!

It's just that it had been expanded by that time, with two more podiums, and it was not named "Yongfang".

This feeling of confusion of time and space at a glance was really subtle, and it often made him feel a little dazed, wondering where he was now.

Before he could enter the inn, several people had already come out. The leader was in his early forties, tall and handsome, and his demeanor was different from other farmers and merchants in Baisha Port.

When he saw He Lingchuan and his entourage, his eyes lit up. He stepped forward and clasped his fists, saying, "I dare to ask, is it the Gale Army?"

Dafeng's military uniforms are distinctive and highly recognizable.

"Mr. Lu Xunlu?"

"Exactly!"

He Lingchuan immediately returned the greeting: "He Lingchuan, the commander of Yuheng City, received instructions from Master Zhong and came to greet Mr. Lu!"

"The leader of Yuheng City is actually so young? Heroes really come from young." Lu Xun asked sideways, "Would you like to have tea inside?"

This man was so enthusiastic, He Lingchuan asked him: "Mr. Lu, did you have a good rest last night?"

"Ah, our ship arrived the day before yesterday, and we walked around the harbor yesterday." Lu Xun sighed, "The sand in this bay is as fine and white as snow, and the scenery is much more beautiful than our Blade Port."

He Lingchuan had also been on this boat, but in the opposite direction. During a sea voyage of at least two months, the initial novelty can quickly turn into boredom and boredom, so much so that passengers rush to land as soon as the ship docks.

The fatigue of a long journey requires a deep sleep to relieve it.

He Lingchuan smiled and said: "If Mr. Lu has rested well, let's set off? Commander Zhong will soon arrive at Yuheng City."

Lu Xun had no objections, so he asked his men to pack their bags and set off on the road with Yu Heng's army.

The sea breeze blew through the dense woods, and the salty and wet smell was quickly filtered out.

Heading north from the safe Baishawan, you will soon enter the Longchuan Commercial Road. It takes a lot of time to walk from the southernmost harbor to the northernmost Yuheng City.

Lu Xun kept looking around, as if he was particularly curious about this new area.

He Lingchuan was completely curious about him.

Previously, Zhong Shengguang issued an order from Panlong City, asking him to prepare to receive the Bailie Lu family who arrived on the ferry!

When He Lingchuan saw this instruction, his eyes were rounded with shock.

Arlo, who was behind, saw his expression and was very cautious: "What, is there any new progress in the war in the wasteland?"

What can He Lingchuan say?

Isn't this so-called "Bailie Lu Clan" the ancestor of Lu Zhensheng and others?

It turns out that there was an intersection between the Bailielu clan and Panlongcheng more than a hundred years ago?

There is no record in the history books——

Of course, it is impossible to record.

Lu Xun was the head of the Lu family at that time, and He Lingchuan was originally the son of Lu Xiaoyun and his direct bloodline. therefore--

Calculating this, the person in front of me should be the original ancestor of He Lingchuan!

More than a hundred years ago, people and affairs intertwined.

It is said that he came across the ocean this time for "exchanges and friendship."

But Zhong Shengguang set off to Yuheng City to prepare for a personal meeting.

This standard is a bit high, and He Lingchuan always feels that there is some reason for it.

He asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, was the sea journey going well?"

"Fortunately, we encountered a hurricane when passing Baidu Island and the boat almost capsized." Lu Xun sighed, "We almost couldn't make it through."

Compassion for each other. He Lingchuan took a ship to the Blade Port, but also encountered a hurricane during the voyage.

One drink and one peck, could it be a predetermined decision?

He looked at Lu Xun and had a lot of questions, but he didn't know where to start.

Instead, Lu Xun smiled at him and said, "When I look at Commander He, I always feel that he looks familiar. Where are you from?"

When he first saw He Lingchuan, he felt that this heroic young commander was very kind, and he felt friendly.

Even he himself didn't know what was going on.

As the Lord of Hundreds of Columns, he has seen so many people, how many of them can make him feel like old friends at first sight?

He Lingchuan was also a little emotional.

When he looked at Lu Xun, he also felt fond of him. Is this a resonance between blood lines? But he could only reply "Weicheng".

Wei City is located in the Panlong Desert, so of course it has nothing to do with the Bailie people.

Lu Xun said oh, not disappointed either.

It was just a casual question, and it would be strange if the two parties could be related.

"Bailie and Baisha Bay have been in contact for a long time, but in previous years, there might not be only two ships arriving at our Blade Port from Baisha Bay; now, there are two fleets in May alone." Lu Xun said with a smile. , "Your Panlongcheng's fluorescent spores and aphids were very popular in Bailie, and they were sold out as soon as they landed. In high-end restaurants, the spores must be lit up at night as long-lasting lights."

The fluorescent spores specially supplied by Zhu Erniang's Lao's Nest are bright and stable light sources. They are much more practical and affordable than night pearls, and they will not be blown out by strong winds.

On the streets of Panlong City and Yuheng City, children can hold this thing in their hands and play with it, but in distant foreign lands, its value has increased tenfold.

Profit is the motivation for traveling merchants to risk their lives and sail across the ocean.

"The trade route from Panlong City to Baisha Bay has been opened, and specialties from the outside world are also coming in continuously. The city residents have never been so happy." He Lingchuan asked tentatively, "Mr. Lu, as the leader of the clan, has personally traveled across the ocean, so he is not aware of the risk?"

"I have heard about the names of Panlong City and Commander Zhong for a long time, and I have always paid attention to them." Lu Xun stroked his beard and said, "Seeing is believing. I think it is necessary to come and see for myself."

look? What does he want to see?

"You've been away like this for several months, Bailie affairs?"

"Leave it to my two younger brothers to take care of it." Lu Xun said, "We Bailie people are very united, and we are not like other countries where there is a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority."

He Lingchuan was thoughtful. The eight words "superior and inferior, and clear hierarchy" also apply to Panlong City.

Panlong City is too strict, while Bailie is too loose, the contrast is sharp.

"The ancient Immortal Sect was also such a loose organization until the emergence of the Human Kingdom." Lu Xun looked at the distant scene, "The Human Kingdom was originally established to resist the demon clan, but after the demon clan declined, the human kingdom still used strict laws and harsh punishments Controlling the people is deplorable."

He Lingchuan smiled.

Bailie is surrounded by human kingdoms, which threaten its survival to some extent. Although there has been no war in the past few hundred years, they have taken away a lot of Bailie's territory. It is strange that Lu Xun has a good impression of them.

However, in He Lingchuan's view, under the premise that individual power has been greatly weakened, Renguo's organizational method is obviously more efficient and easier to collaborate on a large scale, and will of course be retained.

But the other party is a guest from afar, which is not hard to argue with.

Lu Xun looks gentle and elegant, a little nostalgic, more like a magician or a scholar than a lord.

After the trip to the Yuan Kingdom, He Lingchuan's understanding of the national conditions and the world's conditions deepened. He immediately felt that such a person becoming a clan leader may reflect that Bailie's environment at this time was relatively relaxed and he was not facing a lot of pressure.
