After the vast team boarded the Flowing Light Ship, the school ground seemed deserted.

Shen Zhui led eight thousand soldiers and quickly rushed to Juanyun City on the border.

Cirrus Cloud City was built on a hilly area. If you look at the thumbnail map, it is bounded by the Canglan River. To the north of the river is a vast dark forest, and to the south of the river are hundreds of military cities dotted around.

The lines of these military cities can stretch for tens of thousands of miles, and some are even built on high mountains.

Every military city is backed by a treasure land, a spiritual field with rich spiritual energy suitable for farming, or a mineral vein that produces spiritual stones.

In terms of the number of troops stationed, there are even more soldiers in this border city than in Wanfeng City.

In Juanyun City, since the imperial court did not officially open a temple, there was no county government agency.

Instead, it was the City Lord’s Mansion.

Because it is a military city, the military and government are not separated. The highest official in the city lord's palace is responsible for commanding the soldiers and the secondary civilians in the city.

In Juanyun City, the city lord's mansion.

"As soon as this kid came back from the Blood Demon Battlefield, he went straight here to take back Cirrus Cloud City. It seems that the rumors are true. He has indeed broken through to the middle level of Lingqiao and has captain-level combat power." Helian Lie Duan sat in the main hall, looked at the official letter sent by Shen Zhui, and immediately shook his head.

At first, the four of them took over the four military cities that Shen Zhui was supposed to be guarding on the grounds that Shen Zhui had few soldiers. Among the four commanders, He Lianlie is the strongest, Yunfeng, Yunwu, and Chen Chen are all weaker than him.

Shen Zhui's official letter was sent to Helian Lie first, which meant that Shen Zhui had absolute strength and confidence and would not refuse.

"Commander, Shen Zhui went straight to Juanyun City as soon as he arrived." In the main hall, one of Helian Lie's soldiers said angrily. "You are the commander-in-chief of Baiyun Peak, and your position is respected. That Shen Zhui is too disrespectful to you."

"My subordinates think that we should delay for a while, and if the commander is not in the city, he will naturally not be able to take over Juanyun City."

As soon as this private soldier spoke, the temporary officials responsible for managing various affairs in Juanyun City immediately agreed.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, you will be guarding Juanyun City, so we can rest assured. That Shen can't catch up with a mere brat, how can He De be compared to you?"

"In the dark forest, there are not only big demons that come out to intrude, but also demons from outside who are watching. He doesn't understand military affairs at all. If he loses the city, it will make a joke to us at Baiyun Peak."

"The commander is guarding Cirrus Cloud City for him. This is his blessing. I really don't know what to say!"

""

Discussions began gradually, and everyone who spoke was in charge of important departments in Cirrus City.

A military city, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people's taxes, mining spiritual fields, and chamber of commerce transactions, there are too many places to get involved!

With the current power of the Wu'an Army, no one dares to cross the Canglan River to attack the Wu'an Army and guard the military city. It is like giving up a year of idle time in vain. There are still benefits to be gained. Who wants to let go?

At this moment, naturally everyone encouraged Helian Lie to refuse Shen Zhui.

If it can be postponed for a day, the benefits will be even greater.

Of course, there were also dissenting voices who believed that Shen Zhui should not be offended, but they were quickly drowned in saliva and could only be regarded as a very small number of people.

"Shut up!" Helian Lie's face suddenly darkened when he saw that the people below him were talking more and more outrageously.

When everyone saw Helian Lie getting angry, they immediately shut their mouths.

"The official letter he sent didn't say anything about taking over the defense. He just said he came to visit me. He said he was sick and couldn't go out? He went out to kill monsters? You can't think of that!"

"Sir." Some people were still dissatisfied. "Why should he send an official letter when he comes to visit you? Shen Zhui's idea is to take back Cirrus Cloud City. The commander of Baiyun Peak respects you. Even if he had this intention, he should go elsewhere and come to you first. Doesn’t it mean that I don’t take you seriously?”

"Stupid, he is the one guarding this Juanyun City, I'm just taking care of it temporarily for him!" Helianlie shouted. "Everyone has gotten used to the benefits and is reluctant to let them go?"

"I don't dare to wait"

"Listen to the commanders."

""

Seeing that Helian Lie did not change his attitude, everyone knew that they could no longer persuade him and could only feel sorry for him. It had only been more than half a month after taking over Juanyun City, and the buttocks were still not hot yet, but there was nothing they could do about it. Even the commander said to return it to Shen Zhui, so they couldn't object.

Helian Lie looked at the people below and shook his head and sighed, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.

The people under his command were right about one thing. Among the four commanders who were now guarding Baiyun Peak, he had the highest strength and status. As soon as he arrived, he went straight to Juanyun City where Helian Lie was stationed and asked him to slap his ass and leave. Isn't it a show of force?

He Lianlie gave in, Chen Chen, Yun Wu, and Yun Feng gave in, so of course there would be no more difficulty.

"Colonel-level combat power, I would like to see if it is true." Helian Lie's eyes wandered, as if he was thinking about something.

"Report"

A soldier hurriedly walked into the city lord's mansion.

"Commander, Jinwu Commander Shen Zhui has arrived outside the city."

Helianlie took a deep breath, waved his hand and said.

"Let's go out of the city to meet him."

Outside Cirrus City, two huge streamer ships were suspended in the air, and Shen Zhui stood at the front of the ship's deck, quietly staring at the city below.

Helian Lie's men had indeed guessed well. Shen Zhui came to Commander Helian Lie first, so he did not intend to scare the monkeys.

He is too lazy to run from city to city. The strongest in the army is respected. Even if they belong to the same peak, they will never give up easily for the sake of profit. It is normal for you to fight for it. As long as it is within the controllable range, Yun Duo is happy to see the results! Because this can, to a certain extent, maintain the combat effectiveness of his subordinates.

"Sir, the official letter was sent to Cirrus Cloud City yesterday." Yue Cheng said respectfully. "I have been waiting here for half an hour. Commander Helianlie should have received the notice long ago."

"Don't worry." Shen Zhui smiled and waved his hand: "You have to give the commander a psychological buffer time. Occupy a military city, collect taxes and pay taxes, this is a big profit."

"It would not be nice if you come across the city abruptly and encounter something unspeakable."

Shen Zhui looked into the distance. He had to give Helian Lie some finishing time, deal with the benefits he had secretly collected, and do his best on the surface.

Shen Zhui didn't care if he took away what he should take or even took more.

If you shouldn't take it, give the commander time to spit it out.

It would be best to give Helian Lie some dignity and have a friendly exchange with each other.

Keep a line in your life so that we can meet again in the future.

Being from the same lineage as Baiyun Peak, Shen Zhui would never get things done.

Of course, if Helianlie didn't know what was good and what was good, that would be a different story.

After waiting for a while, Shen Zhui was getting impatient.

In Cirrus Cloud City, the city gate opened wide, and a group of people flew towards him.

Helianlie finally led his men and came out of the city to greet them.

"Commander Shen, I'm busy with official duties. Please forgive me." Helianlie said with cupped hands.

"Commander Helian is guarding Cirrus Cloud City for my brother and I. Shen Zhui doesn't have time to thank him, so how can he blame me?" Shen Zhui also said with a cup of his hands.

As soon as Helian Lie heard Shen Zhui speak, he secretly pointed out the issue of the ownership of Cirrus Cloud City, and a trace of dissatisfaction suddenly flashed in his eyes.

However, when he saw Shen Zhui standing in front of him with his own eyes, but could not feel the slightest breath of Shen Zhui, Helian Lie was shocked again.

"This Shen Zhui, we haven't seen him for a long time, has grown up so fast that I can't even see through him."

"Please." Helianlie invited Shen Zhui into the city with his bare hands.

"You're welcome, Commander Helian." Shen Zhui quickly led Yue Cheng and several soldiers into Juanyun City.

As soon as he entered the city, Shen Zhui saw neat rows of houses and buildings.

The scenery and people in the entire city are all in an efficient working state, and it is rare to see anyone idle at home.

These buildings are all made from local materials. Most of the pedestrians on the road are shirtless workers, and there are very few vendors and shops. Only when we got to an area close to the city lord's palace did things gradually become lively.

Looking at this scene, Shen Zhui couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Strictly speaking, the people in these military cities were not citizens of the Zhou Dynasty, and did not have household registration of the Zhou Dynasty, because they were outside the border.

But they are not refugees, but have a secondary place of origin in the middle.

They were protected by the Wu'an Army. What was implemented here was not the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, but only a few simple regulations were implemented.

After several years of hard work, the people in these military cities could choose to settle in the Zhou Dynasty and obtain regular household registration. From then on, they would be protected by heavenly rules, just like normal people of the Zhou Dynasty.

A commoner with secondary nationality often needs to work hard for more than ten years before he can be cleared of being suspected of being a sectarian spy.

The only consequence of running away or resisting is death.

This is the national policy of the imperial court to control foreign affairs.

In the City Lord's Mansion, both parties sat down as guests of honor. Of course, drinking, eating and being polite are inevitable during this period.

There were two commanders making appearances, and the people below were polite on the surface, but no one talked about the affairs in the military town, and the topic of handover was avoided.

But, it has to be talked about after all.

After Shen Zhui toasted Helian Lie from a distance, he spoke.

"Commander Helian, brothers are here to guard Juanyun City and perform their duties. The commander-in-chief has been in the border town for many years and has rich experience, while Shen Zhui is a newcomer and has little experience. I don't know what the commander-in-chief has. Can you give me some good advice?"

Everyone's hearts tightened, what was supposed to come finally came back.

Helian Lie brought the wine glass to his mouth for a moment, then raised his head, slowly put the empty glass down, and looked at Shen Zhui.

This is obviously asking for advice, but in fact, it is asking, I, Shen Zhui, am here now and want to take over Juanyun City. Is there anything else you, Helian Lie, want to say?

"Jin Yuliang is beyond words." Helian Lie chuckled. "I have two pieces of advice. I wonder if Brother Shen is willing to listen."

"Shen Zhui is all ears."

Helianlie nodded, waved his hand, and a water curtain appeared in mid-air, showing a vast forest on it.

There were roars of big demons and ferocious beasts in the forest, and even sword figures flashed by from time to time. In the end, the scene was fixed on a shallow shadow of a city in the distance.

This perspective shows where the Dark Forest is located on the other side of the Canglan River.

"Thanks to the blessing of the Emperor and the divine power of Marquis Wu'an, the Fangwai sect in the Jiuyou Mountains does not dare to invade the borders of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"But although there are no big battles, there are constant small battles."

"The sects have united and are eyeing our borders in the Great Zhou Dynasty. In the past, border towns fell due to negligence and lack of strength, resulting in the decades of hard work of our predecessors being wiped out."

"The prestige of the Great Zhou Dynasty can intimidate sects outside the country, but it cannot scare away the ferocious beasts and monsters with low intelligence."

"Border towns are the foundation of national policy and the glory of the military."

"To guard the border town, you need to value it as your own life. Does Commander Shen think so?"

"What the Commander-in-Chief said is absolutely true. If the alien demon wants to cross the Canglan River, he should step on the corpses below!" Shen Zhui raised his head and said.

Helianlie nodded and changed the subject.

"Bloody words and ambitions cannot guarantee a party's stability. Only true talent and hard work, with extraordinary abilities, can defeat the enemy chieftain."

"There are ferocious beasts and alien races, and there are many demons outside the area who are at the peak of Spirit Bridge or even at the level of supernatural power. I don't doubt that Brother Shen has the intention to retreat from the enemy. But I want to ask, can Brother Shen have the ability to retreat from the enemy?"

As soon as these words came out, no matter where they were, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.

As the commander-in-chief of Baiyun Peak, Helian Lie had to weigh the weight of Shen Zhui, the ninth commander!

Among the people under Helian Lie, there are some who are looking forward to it, some who are worried, and some who are excited.

Originally they thought that Helianlie would hand over Cirrus Cloud City, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Courtesy first, then attack. If Shen Zhui loses badly, go to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan.com. Even if Helianlie doesn't return Juan Yun City to Shen Zhui, Yun Duo won't say anything!

In the Wu'an army, strength is respected. If you are strong, you will have greater rights and status, even if this is the city that Shen Zhui should guard.

Shen Zhui sighed slightly in his heart, Helian Lie was doing courtesy first and then fighting.

Is the commander-in-chief of Baiyun Peak still unwilling to give in, or does he have complaints about coming to Juanyun City first?

"Shen Zhui is not talented, so please ask the commander for advice." Shen Zhui said loudly. "If I am unable to defeat the enemy, and it proves that I am unable to defend this city, the commander-in-chief shall continue to be in charge!"

"Hiss" everyone took a breath of cold air.

Shen Zhui actually refused to give in and directly proposed a fight, and made it clear that if he lost, Juanyun City would continue to be under the control of Helian Lie.

As for what it would be like to win, Shen Zhui didn't say that everyone was just like Ming Jing in their hearts.

No matter how dissatisfied Helianlie was, he would certainly not dominate Cirrus City.

The two of them were facing each other, and their invisible momentum suddenly made the air seem to freeze.

Helianlie was at the pinnacle of Lingqiao. He had been in Baiyun Peak for many years and had experienced countless life-and-death battles. He did not know how many people had challenged him. But he has always been firmly in the position of commander-in-chief.

Some people say that Helian Lie has the fighting ability of a school captain, and the reason why he stayed at Baiyun Peak is because Yun Duo saved his life back then.

As for Shen Zhui, who was at the peak of his innate ability, he could kill high-ranking Lingqiao people. He killed Li Zhang and dozens of other sect geniuses in the Blood Demon Battlefield. He even achieved the legendary ultimate golden body and opened up ten caves. Although he was only at the middle level of Spirit Bridge, he was ranked 29th on the bounty list by the sect alliance, and he had a captain-level combat power.

Who will win between these two?

"Okay!" Helian Lie flashed and flew out of the hall. "follow me."

"Whoosh" Shen Zhui also followed.

The soldiers and officials on both sides also rushed out one after another.
