Yan Lan stared at this general, and immediately arched his hand and said: "I am Yan Lan, the old pillar of the old courtyard of Naizhu, this time I came to investigate the Evil Lantern Heavenly Array, and by the way, I came here to see the battle situation." ”

Seeing that Yan Lan was young, the big man couldn't help but show a hint of arrogance, and said, "This general's name is Li Guancheng, and he is the supreme commander of this Beixiong City. How much does Yan Zhu know about Beixiong City?"

Yan Lan saw Li Guancheng's arrogant expression, and felt helpless, and said, "I understand, but Commander Li can introduce it again, so as not to omit what I know." ”

Li Guancheng held his head high and said, "As many people know, the surrounding area of the Thunder Lion Emperor is thousands of subject countries. Each subject borders the Savage Domain, and on the border between each subject and the Savage Domain, there is a largest war city. ”

"The so-called war city, as the name suggests, is a city built to resist the wild beasts, and the city does not live with ordinary people, nor idle monks, but is all inhabited by soldiers who resist the beasts. This Beixiong Castle is the largest battle city in the Lotte Domain. ”

"On both sides of the Beixiong Battle City, every fifty thousand miles, there is a small battle city with a radius of hundreds of miles. Every once in a while, the soldiers would be replaced and go to the small battle city to rest. ”

"The meaning of the existence of this large-scale battle, I am afraid that there is no need to say more, the military materials from the subject country of Lotte and the Lion Kingdom will be continuously transported to the Beixiong Battle City, and then distributed from here, transported to various small battle cities, and finally distributed to each soldier. ”

Yan Lan nodded and said, "A year ago, the spirit stones raised at the imperial auction were distributed to you, is it many times more than in previous years?"

Li Guancheng blinked his eyes and wondered, "What spirit stone?

Yan Lan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Every year, isn't the Imperial Auction specially for the soldiers stationed in the border to raise spirit stones and resources?

Li Guancheng's gaze swept towards Jing Wanyun and Wang Xingyuan.

Jing Wanyun's eyes widened and said, "Li Guancheng, don't say no, a lot of spirit stones are raised for you every year." However, you soldiers stationed in the border should really thank Yan Zhu Lao, last year's imperial auction, Yan Zhu Lao tried his best to raise the price, and fought with large forces such as the Eel Palace, Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, Sword League, Dan League, Qing Family, etc., and raised a total of nearly 178 trillion top-grade spirit stones. ”

"At present, there are nearly 2,000 subject states around the Imperial Kingdom. Each subject country stationed about hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in the frontier, and all soldiers totaled hundreds of millions. Nearly one hundred and seventy-eight trillion top-grade spirit stones, and each person can get hundreds of thousands on average, how can you say that you haven't seen spirit stones?"

Wang Xingyuan also frowned and said: "Yes, although this part of the spirit stone is not a large amount compared to the military resources allocated by the royal family, it is better than nothing to give you an additional subsidy." ”

Li Guancheng shook his head and said, "Damn, it's really not, what did Lao Tzu do to lie to you?"

Perhaps because of annoyance, or because Li Guancheng unnaturally revealed his true colors as a soldier, even the self-proclaimed self-proclaimed man changed from "general" to "Lao Tzu".

Yan Lan's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then did you have any spirit stones that were distributed by the Imperial Auction in previous years?"

Li Guancheng nodded and said: "Yes, but not much, everyone will only get more than a thousand pieces, which is better than nothing." ”

Yan Lan said: "As far as I know, even if the number of spirit stones raised by the Imperial Auction in previous years was small, each soldier should be given more than 10,000 pieces, how could there be only more than 1,000 pieces?"

Li Guancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then I can only ask those old guys in the Political Yuan...... Well, Wang Xingyuan, aren't you the director of the Department of the Political Yuan, but tell me, what the hell is going on?"

Wang Xingyuan smiled bitterly: "This department is the director of the foreign department, and I can't control the preparation and distribution of spirit stones for the imperial auction at all, if you hadn't told me this, I wouldn't have known that this situation would have happened." ”

Li Guancheng said in a deep voice: "Ge Laozi's bastards, Lao Tzu was born and died for the imperial country and the human race in the frontier, and those turtle sons even dared to embezzle Lao Tzu's extra subsidies. Wang Xingyuan, what do you say to do?"

Wang Xingyuan smiled bitterly: "What can I do?" The person in charge of this matter is Cao Zhaolin, the president of the Political Yuan, who is now in power, and it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, and even many princes have to bow their eyebrows to him. What do you want me to do? I'll investigate Cao Zhaolin? I'm afraid that as soon as I take a step, I will have to lose my official position, be dismissed, be imprisoned, and even lose my life. ”

Yan Lan said: "In the central officialdom of the Imperial Kingdom, the water is indeed very deep. ”

Li Guancheng said angrily: "Could it be that he watched the resources raised by the annual imperial auction being privately swallowed by Cao Zhaolin's old servant? Damn, let alone more than ten trillion a year, after so many years, the spirit stones on his body are only afraid that they are not much less than the national treasury." ”

Yan Lan said: "Director Wang, if this matter is reported to the emperor, doesn't the emperor care?"

Wang Xingyuan said helplessly: "I'm afraid that even the emperor doesn't dare to care about Cao Zhaolin." Cao Zhaolin has held the power of the president of the Political Yuan for thousands of years, and has experienced two previous emperors, and the current emperor is his disciple. ”

Jing Wanyun snorted: "What's more, His Majesty the Emperor is about to abdicate and is ready to travel to the Eight Desolations, and he has long had no heart to deal with the government affairs, and he basically no longer manages the government affairs. Now that the prince is fighting for power and the situation is tense, Cao Zhaolin has a very close relationship with several princes. If there is a vice-emperor in the imperial country, then Cao Zhaolin deserves to be the vice-emperor. ”

Wang Xingyuan was slightly startled, looked around, and said in a low voice: "Director Jing, you are too bold, you can't talk nonsense like this." ”

Jing Wanyun sneered: "What are you afraid of, this is the front line of the Northern Xinjiang battlefield, and it may become a place of death every day, even if Cao Zhaolin has eyes and ears, he doesn't dare to come here to monitor." ”

Li Guancheng raised his eyebrows and said: "Then I can only watch my brothers live and die, and they can't get the subsidies they deserve? ”

Wang Xingyuan said: "Then what do you want to do, raise troops and counterattack the imperial domain?"

Jing Wanyun patted Wang Xingyuan, which startled Wang Xingyuan.

Jing Wanyun said: "Director Wang, you just said that I was bold, what you said is simply instigating rebellion, and if you are not careful, you will be connected to the nine clans." ”

Wang Xingyuan sneered: "There are no outsiders here......

Jing Wanyun coughed lightly and looked at Yan Lan and the others.

Wang Xingyuan immediately understood, and grinned: "Yan Zhu is old and young, how can he be in the same stream as Cao Zhaolin." Hey, right?"

Long Niu snorted: "Don't worry, we are not sinister villains who snitch. ”

Li Guancheng gritted his teeth and said: "If you raise your troops and turn against you, you will simply find death." The imperial kingdom is heavily guarded in the imperial domain, and its strength is no less than that of all the soldiers stationed in the border combined. Hmph, in the eyes of those powerful people, the lion country can be broken, and the imperial domain cannot be invaded. ”
