Otherworldly Mysterious Gate

Lan Yi was sitting on a small stool, fiddling with the tea set in front of her with a relaxed expression. There were several boxes of tea leaves beside her. These were the teas she had never seen before in Tanstin City.

"How is it, how does it taste?"

"Okay, I mean it's very good! I didn't expect the tea made by Miss Lan Yi to be so delicious."

Lan Yi smiled: "I am the master's maid, and making tea is my daily job."

"Ah?! Why... I mean, Miss Lan Yi is so strong, how can she be a maid? I'm sorry, did I say something wrong?"

Lan Yi smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I was caught by the master, hehe, and then became his maid, um, it's been several years."

"This this..."

"Do you think I'm pitiful?"

"this..."

"Before this, I was a warrior. A warrior who was born and died for the benefit of the family seemed to know nothing but fighting. After being caught by the master, I thought about it carefully. There are many ways to live. The key is which one you like, if you can find the way you like to live, it will be worth it, otherwise it will be a waste of life.”

"So...Miss Lan Yi likes the way she lives now?"

"That's right! It's very easy, you don't have to think about so many things, because I'm stupid, and no one will plot against you. There is a master who will help you shelter from the wind and rain. If you do something wrong, you will be punished at most, and you won't lose it accidentally. Life, in addition to making tea for the master and cleaning up the office and laboratory, other times you can do what you like, I like this kind of life."

The girl from Tan Siting's family looked at Lan Yi with some confusion.in her heart.Feel like fighting for the family.It is the most honorable and happiest thing to strive for more development space for the tribe, so she does not understand Lan Yi's thoughts.Of course, Lan Yi used to be so passionate, but after hundreds of years, Lan Yi has long known how boring such a life is.

Lan Yi smiled, she could guess what the young man in front of her was thinking, perhaps.One day she will feel tired too, and then she will understand why she made such a choice.

"Come on, try this cup again and see how it tastes different from the previous one."

"Oh...okay, thanks."

Lan Yi also picked up the cup in front of her, put it under her nose and sniffed it gently, the fragrance was a bit astringent, it seemed that the processing was not in place.

"Miss Lan Yi, is it convenient for you now? The patriarch is here to invite you."

Lan Yi slowly put down the teacup.Standing up and tidying up the skirt on her body, she nodded with a smile: "Yes. Shall we go now?"

"Yes, the patriarch said something important."

"Oh, I guess the war is coming to an end."

"Is the war really coming to an end?" The young girl holding a teacup stared blankly at Lan Yi's figure disappearing at the door, muttering to herself.

......

Lan Yi was taken to the office where they met last time. This time, the office was not only the patriarch Luo Fu alone, but also seven or eight young Yiren sitting on the chair next to him. It is very likely that these are all The elder of Tan Siting's family.

Seeing Lan Yi coming in, everyone stood up together, Lan Yi glanced at them, and already guessed their choice from the expressions on their faces.

Lan Yi stepped forward and bowed gracefully: "Lan Yi Servi has met all the elders."

"Miss Lan Yi is too polite, please take a seat."

Love said with a smile, and then introduced everyone present one by one, and they were indeed the elders of the Tan Siting family.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Love turned the topic back to business.

"Miss Lan Yi, I invite you here today to formally inform Miss Lan Yi that after careful consideration, we have decided to accept the proposal of the Master of the Xuanmen."

Lan Yi smiled and nodded, "Facts will prove that you and the elders made a correct and wise choice."

"Hehe...Thank you, but, what should I do next?"

"I have informed General Willie, the military commander of the Grand Federation in the direction of Star Tanstin, about my actions. Now I just need to use your communication channel to inform General Willie of this matter. Patriarch, you need to order the troops on the front line to temporarily Stop all military operations. I will accompany your representatives to the areas controlled by both sides to sign a formal agreement."

"This is what it should be, but what should the troops do?"

"There are two options, one is to choose to go home on vacation, and the other is to stay on standby in the military camp, but combat weapons and large-scale equipment must be handed over after the contract is renewed."

"Going home on vacation? Does this mean that the army will be disbanded?" An elder asked with great concern.

Lan Yi shook her head: "No, it's just a temporary holiday. The combat power of the Yiren army is quite strong, so the Great Federation military will reserve military posts for those who voluntarily stay in the army."

"This is the best way, stay is voluntary." Love breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that the Great Federation would swallow the Wingman army in one gulp, and then drive them to be cannon fodder.

Lan Yi smiled: "Naturally, the army of the Great Federation has a recruiting system, which means that there are generous salaries. I believe many Yi people will stay in the army."

Luo Fu nodded. He understood that Lan Yi meant that the Tan Siting family should not go too far. If all the elites were recalled, it would cause misunderstandings by the federal military. This point needs to be carefully weighed, but there is no hurry, there is still time in the future deal with.

"So, what about other places?"

"Other places on Tanstin star will start to hand over the defense from the military facilities and the teleportation array. While handing over, the defense forces will be given a holiday. The city defense forces will not move temporarily. After the military facilities are handed over, the city defense will be handed over."

The elders looked at each other and seemed to have no objection.

"And what about the forced immigration part?"

"The part of forced immigration is based on the blood relationship of five generations, and the origin is based on you, the patriarch. Is this okay?"

"Okay, it's just that those people may have some assets..."

"These large federations will provide compensation and exchange, which can be carried out in the form of physical objects or currency. The specific content will not start until the transfer of the city defense system is completed. These tasks also require the active cooperation of the patriarch and the elders."

A few more details were discussed.Basically the problems are clear.The rest is the issue of sending a representative. Love is also a bachelor, so he decided to go out and sign the contract himself. In fact, at this time, Love really has no need or reason to back down. Maybe his decision will come after many years. Maybe it will be a wise move, if you don't even dare to go.In the future, I really don't know how to be buried by future generations.

......

Ringer's house is located on the floating island in the imperial capital. In Grand Duke Ringer's office, Anka is reporting the latest news and developments in the empire and abroad. Grand Duke Ringer is sitting behind his work and listening with squinted eyes.

"The imperial guards and the Second Legion detachment have surrounded and blocked the Mowu United Academy, and are confronting the students protecting the school. According to our analysis, the army will force their way in by tomorrow at the latest, and our next plan will also start at the same time. "

"Wait a day, wait until the situation of Mowu Academy becomes clear before we act."

"Father. This may cause some losses to Mowu Academy."

"This is better than us cleaning up the mess. Wait until they settle the Mowu Academy. We will take down the elite troops of the Enlig family. If there are external changes, there will naturally be corresponding changes in the imperial capital. At that time, we will end the game with a high profile and advocate With the intervention of the judiciary, the army withdrew from the imperial capital."

"understood."

"Well, what are Lin Shu and Ao Yun doing today?"

"They were shopping and bought a lot of messy things."

"What a mess? You have to carefully analyze what they bought." Grand Duke Linge said seriously: "This is very important information, and such an opportunity is rare."

"Yes, according to our analysis, [-]% of the items he bought are various plant seeds, [-]% are various ores, and [-]% are various gifts suitable for women and small gifts for children. The quantity is large and the value is It's not very high, and the rest are alchemy materials."

"The storage ring he and Ao Yun wear are confirmed?"

"Yes, but the storage capacity can't be determined. In addition, according to the news from the Great Federation, it seems that Taoism is supplying this kind of storage item to the members of the Magic Research Association."

"This... is also a good thing!"

"Yes, do you want to test it out, can you buy this storage ring?"

Grand Duke Linge thought for a while and said: "I know about this, continue, what other important information is there?"

"In addition to the mobilization of all parties in the imperial star circle and the adjustment of high-end combat power, there is another thing. The troops of the Servis family have withdrawn from Star Tanstin. Our contact with Star Tanstin has been completely cut off. Perhaps the Tanstin family This time is over."

"So fast?"

"We got news from other sources that the Grand Federation has likely reached a deal with the Moresi Empire, and hired three of Moresi's mercenary legions to join the Tanstin star battlefield. Once the Serves family withdraws, the Grand Federation will be in the military. On the other hand, it has an overwhelming advantage, and the Tan Siting family can't resist it at all."

Grand Duke Ringe narrowed his eyes: "If this is the case, I would rather believe that the Tan Siting family will surrender. In fact, I would rather they fight to the last person. Unfortunately, this is unrealistic."

"The noble family surrendered?! If this is the case, it will undoubtedly set an extremely bad precedent for the empire."

"No way, I'm afraid that's what Lin Shu planned from the beginning."

"Father, didn't you find out?"

"So what can we do if we find out, the general trend has already been established, we can only follow the trend, Lin Shu's purpose is to destroy our Yiren's superior psychological advantage, obviously, his first step has been successful."

Anka frowned: "Then... how should we deal with it?"

"Response? Now we don't have the time to deal with it. Next, I guess the civil service system will soon change its policy towards the Great Federation, and turn to the political strategy of winning over the Great Federation and fighting against the Holy Dragon Empire."

"Just like us!"

"Yes, so, we must preemptively occupy this commanding height. The only trouble is the relationship between the Servis family and us..."

"Father, why don't I go there myself?"

"Okay, you go there in person, hurry up, don't ask the Serves family to come over, at least not let them completely fall to the civil servants and the royalists."

"I understand that they should also have plans to take advantage of both sides."

"Well, this is our only chance. It's cheaper for the Servis family. In addition, I want to preemptively announce the normalization of relations with Xuanmen, and announce that Xuanmen will be accepted as the legal sect of the empire."

"This...isn't there no way out?"

"Is there any retreat for us now?" (To be continued...)
