Although he felt that 'Kunlun Yuting' might not be easy to communicate with, Loran Hill still wanted to give it a try.

"May I ask your name, Excellency? I anticipate that I will have many matters to discuss with you from Kunlun Jade Court."

"I'm Gu Jianming, the guard on duty at 'Kunlun Yuting'." Although he was a little uneasy, he still answered with courage, and then thought in his mind how to delay time. After all, strength cannot be faked. Even though he is a member of 'Kunlun Yuting', he has to be careful when facing such a powerful situation.

Afterwards, Loran Hill talked and asked some questions. Seeing that this person always avoided the topic and did not give a direct answer, he knew that this person's mind was not here, so he had to stop for a while and let the person next to him continue the negotiation.

She guessed that the other party was waiting for reinforcements, but Loran Hill didn't care. Perhaps it would be easier to communicate if the other party's senior management came. Now this person obviously didn't want to take any responsibility.

Time passes slowly.

night.

The dragon boat floated in the night sky of Luojing, quietly suspending to reduce energy consumption. Luo Lanhill sat by the window, looking at the lights and night view of Luojing below. Compared with the scenes in his memory more than ten years ago, Luojing today is indeed much more depressed. The Autumn Moon Lantern Festival is approaching, but there is no joy on the streets, and everyone is in a hurry.

"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in." Loran Hill probably knew who was coming.

"Senior Sister Luo Lan." The two twin sisters standing outside the door were Si Heng and Si Xuan.

The two men walked into the room carrying food boxes and a few things, and then came to Loran Hill.

"We bought these when we were shopping in Luojing. They should be pretty good. Senior Sister Luolan can try them." The two looked at Luolan Hill with a little anticipation.

"Thank you." Luo Lanxier took it and opened it. Inside were Luo Jingzhong's special cakes and a box of steaming roast goose, which exuded fragrance and was perfect for dinner.

The girl closed the box for the moment, and then asked about the matter she had asked the two of them to visit.

"What is the current situation of the Ye family in Luojing?"

"There are still some people left in the Ye Clan, but most of the clan members left before the city was captured. Their exact whereabouts are unknown, but it is said that they took a boat eastward."

"Is that so..." Loran Hill wondered where Ye Ling might have gone.

"The Sixth Miss of the Ye Family, whom you asked us to question, also left Luojing with her clan members at that time."

In this case, it is not a bad thing. Unless it encounters a large army or a big force head-on, it is still easy for Ye Ling to protect himself. This little guy is quite strong, the girl thought.

"What's the situation of other families?" Loran Hill took out a small piece of green hemp ball and put it in his mouth to taste.

"Most of the families have left, but a few remain."

"Which ones?" Loran Hill was slightly surprised.

"Among the six aristocratic families, there are the Bu and Lian families. The Bu family is a diehard royal family loyalist, and many members of the Xuanhua Mansion are from the Bu family. The Lian family is descended from a family of meritorious generals, and many of the soldiers defending the city are from the Lian family. The other aristocratic families do not have such close connections with the royal family."

"So that's how it is." Loran Hill thought of the envoy from Xuanhua Mansion whom he once met in Ximu Qunshan.

"What's the current situation of these two families?"

"Among them, the Bu family still has some members, but they were plundered after the Kunlun Jade Court moved in, leaving them with very little money. Most of the Lian family died in the battle, and a few women and children locked themselves up after the city fell. The Northern Army didn't make things difficult for them, and even threw some food in to prevent them from starving. Now that the Kunlun Jade Court has moved in, the Lian family has gradually reopened, but there are not many men left."

"He is very loyal, alas..." Loran Hill shook his head.

"Please take care of the two families from now on and prevent their descendants from being bullied."

"Yes, Your Highness." In slightly formal occasions, the two of them mostly addressed him as His Highness Loran Hill.

Afterwards, the two talked about the situation in Luojing before saying goodbye and leaving.

Under the light, Loran Hill ate the dinner bought by Si Heng and Si Xuan, thinking in her mind how to deal with the matter of "Kunlun Yuting". Unfortunately, she and the other party did not know each other well, and many things could only be pre-set with a general direction. The specific situation still depended on the other party's attitude and thoughts after the meeting.

I hope he is a good communicator.

…

The next day, morning.

The sun was slowly turning towards noon. After a night's stay, the people in the city had become accustomed to the dragon boats and warships floating overhead and continued to live their lives as usual. As the war gradually subsided, many caravans began to enter and leave the prosperous capital again, bringing fine products from all over the country.

Loran Hill was standing on the deck of the dragon boat, wearing a white silk dress with gold leaf lace, gazing at the scenery below. The hair beside her ears fluttered in the breeze from time to time, and then fell down. The slightly naughty hair set off her lovely chin. If no one hadn't specifically mentioned it, many people would probably have thought that she was a quiet girl of sixteen or seventeen who seldom went out, rather than one of the world-famous phoenixes.

Because it is already autumn, the sunlight on the body is not hot, but rather warm and comfortable. Standing in this refreshing breeze, Loran Hill felt a rare sense of comfort. He didn't want to think about too complicated things. As long as it continues like this, it would be fine.

However, time always passes slowly. At one or two o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of figures in white clothes flew over from the distant sky. Judging from their clothes, they should be the people from Kunlun Yuting.

Sure enough, when they arrived, the leader greeted them loudly.

"I am Lieying, the local officer of Qingtan in Kunlun Yuting. Who are you and why are you circling around our base in Kunlun Yuting?" His voice was high and stern, and he seemed quite dissatisfied.
