Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 67 Shence Mansion

The man in green spoke with an exceptionally tempting tone; Lan Ting's hands itched and her teeth clenched, while Yun Zhi felt a chill run down her spine.

What is he going to say?

Oh right, he has to take Lan to the Shence Mansion.

But what's going on here?

This person, dressed in the robes of a physician from the Dan Ding Si, came to ask the Emperor Gong Si Ming if he wanted to achieve immortality.

Yun's mind was filled with gibberish.

But he still faithfully put on a smile, stepped forward, and pulled Lan back a little.

Then, with a forced smile on his face, he looked at the man in green and said, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's talk in private."

The man in green revealed a triumphant smile.

Then, he answered whatever Yun asked him along the way, and before long he had revealed all his secrets.

In short, this person is a member of the pyramid scheme known as "Green Hibiscus" and is charitable, kind, helpful, and loyal to the pyramid scheme.

He was dedicated to playing dirty tricks in the Emperor's territory, desperately trying to recruit people to his pyramid scheme under the very nose of the "Hunter," and his skills in recruiting people were unparalleled.

Oh, the pyramid scheme he belongs to is the "Secret Transmission of the Medicine King" that Yun often mentions. It is different from the Medicine King Secret Transmission that was much older and related to the Abundance Envoy "Shuhu". This Medicine King Secret Transmission is just a fake that uses an ancient name.

Recently, these guys have been swindling and cheating people in Luofu, mainly deceiving outsiders and trying to entice them to achieve immortality. They have already committed the ten heinous crimes of the Immortal Ship.

Yun listened to this "Green Hibiscus" speak with a smile on her face.

"So, are you interested in our Medicine King's secret techniques? We..."

"boom--"

Once they reached a quiet spot, Yunzhi lost interest in listening to the guy's incessant chatter. He grabbed something floating nearby and slammed it over the guy's head—

With a particularly crisp sound, Green Hibiscus, her smile still lingering on her face, collapsed.

The killer's head was also covered with several crossroads.

"Still interested? You almost scared your dad to death!!!"

God knows how nervous he was when this guy tried to sell him a pyramid scheme.

I'm afraid that Lan, who's following behind, might slip up and pierce Luofu with an arrow.

Yun Zhi irritably put the jellyfish-like robot back in its place, letting it continue its emo phase to the side.

After taking that person into another celestial realm, Yun Zhi took a deep breath and turned to look at his superior.

"Storm."

Lan appeared calmer than expected.

"Let's go see General Shence."

Ask around to find out what's going on.

Yunzhi: Σ(°Д°;

He paused for a moment, then pulled Lan toward the Shence Mansion, comforting her as he did so: "It's nothing, everyone encounters pyramid schemes on the street, you'll get used to it, you'll get used to it."

Lan: "Then tell me, what is this?"

Yunzhi: "Uh, youth has no price, abundance is just a big bang on your cheek?...Aha, trying to make you laugh?"

Looking back, it was quite a funny incident.

But it's strange, since it concerns the Star God's amusement, why didn't Aha laugh?

Lan saw through Yunzhi's thoughts and sighed, "He has already laughed and left."

"Why?"

"Otherwise, why do you think I didn't make a move?"

The moment Green Hibiscus uttered her first words, Lan's rationality vanished on the spot.

If Aha hadn't suddenly burst into laughter in her ear, Lan would probably have already pierced through Luofu with an arrow.

It was Ahana's smile that brought Lan back to her senses and saved Luofu from disaster.

Yunzhi: ...

Chang Letianjun, I spoke too loudly before, you are a good god.

"What kind of situation is this...?" You can even be recruited for pyramid schemes while walking down the street.

As they spoke, the Shence Mansion was already within reach.

The place is heavily guarded because a general is stationed there, but it doesn't seem that strict.

Yun Zhi and Lan stood outside the Shence Mansion, looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Why does it feel like there are so few Cloud Cavalry in Luofu?" Lan wondered. Although he didn't pay much attention to the internal affairs of the Immortal Ship, he knew that the Cloud Cavalry was an important military force and it was impossible to reduce it at least for now.

Yunzhi knew a bit: "The chaos has already decreased a lot, and the Fengrao People's War thirty years ago affected many people. Now, it seems that a considerable number of them are abroad cooperating with Yaoqing's expedition..."

In conclusion, the number of Cloud Cavalry troops left behind in Luofu was actually not large.

—It is very rare.

The two men stood openly whispering to each other at the gate of the Shence Mansion, glancing at the gate every now and then.

As a Cloud Rider guarding the Shence Prefecture, Chi Yan was diligent and conscientious every day. He never dared to slack off while on duty, and no matter what happened near the Shence Prefecture, it could not escape his eyes.

Recently, there has been a sense of impending doom in Luofu. The Shence Mansion is under even tighter security, and even the general's disciple, the Cloud Cavalry Guard, no longer goes out on missions and spends most of his time focused on staying by the general's side.

Then today, he watched helplessly as two people stood at the entrance of the Shence Mansion, seemingly plotting something.

Such things happen quite often. The general is the leader of Luofu and is also very handsome. It's inevitable that some young girls who are just beginning to fall in love will be waiting outside the Shence Mansion. Some residents who are grateful for the general's kindness will also bring some fruits and vegetables to him.

But these two in front of me...aren't they a little suspicious?

Huh? They seem to be coming over?

When Yun Zhiyi walked up to this Yun cavalryman, he saw that the soldier was tense and nervous.

The way he looked at him made it seem like whatever he did would immediately bring down that standard Yunqi sword.

Yunzhi: ...I knew it, the general's mansion is heavily guarded.

"Hey, kid from Cloud Rider, don't be nervous."

Lan walked to the side to look at the half-dead tree. Yunzhi rubbed his temples, perked up, and said, "I am Yunzhi, Yunqi number 02."

After confirming that there were no enemies around, Yun released Lie.

The warhorse let out a long neigh, suddenly reared up, and landed heavily, its fiery mane making it look exceptionally fierce.

The cloud knight soldier seemed stunned.

"Is General Shence available? — Of course, I hope he is."

Yun beckoned Lie to come to her side and took its reins: "He and I wandered around Luofu and encountered some things that bothered me. I felt it was necessary to talk to him about them."

"Please inform them."

Yun Zhi kept smiling.

But the more I talked about it, the more upset I became.

No one has told him what's going on with the Dan Ding Division. Lan is still on the verge of exploding. Should we find a reason to send him away later?

He was afraid that Luofu would really be gone.

When Chi Yan heard Yun Zhi reveal his identity, his mind went completely blank.

When Lie appeared before him, he finally reacted, gave an extremely stiff bow, and entered the Shence Mansion.

He came out shortly afterward: "True Lord, please follow me."

Yun Zhi nodded in satisfaction—he had always heard that General Shence was often away from the Shence Mansion, but it seemed he was still there.

"Let's go... Hey, stop looking at it, it won't come back to life no matter how much you look at it."

Yunzhi walked over and pulled Lan up, saying, "There are other things to take care of, don't worry about that."

Hopefully, General Shence can give him some good news—the good news that the star core has been found.
