Four years later, Yang Wei left the town. Hearing that his biological father was looking for him, he left with his mother.

Another four years passed, and Jing Yi left in a hurry. He had not been in the Western Region for many years, and many powerful officials had become disloyal and rebelled. He went back to take charge of the situation.

This time, I was gone for a year.

This year, Yun Jiao is fifteen years old.

Uncle Jing has been gone for more than a year, and Yunying misses him every day, when she is cooking, washing clothes, sleeping... The time she spends in a daze every day is even longer than the time she sleeps.

Later, news came that the situation in the Western Regions was not good.

The rebels are accurate and comprehensive, coming in full force, with powerful and wealthy figures, top-notch in all aspects, and especially elite weapons and supplies.

Weapons are of paramount importance in war and the lives of soldiers.

The rebels have the upper hand.

Upon hearing that Jing Yi was in trouble, that he was careless for a moment, was plotted against, was seriously injured, and his life or death was in danger, Yun Ying could no longer sit still and had to leave Yun Jiao in the town and go to the danger alone.

By the time Yun Jiao found out, it was already the next day. There was a letter left on the table, and her mother was nowhere to be seen.

She knew that her mother didn't want her to put herself in danger, and she also knew that her mother would stay with Uncle Jing even if it meant death. She was insignificant and her words didn't count, so she didn't want to cause any trouble.

But she heard that the traitors in the Western Regions had a huge force helping them. This force specialized in privately mining iron and selling elite weapons, and provided nearly 80% of the weapons aid to the Western Regions.

This force comes from Lanzhou City.

Lanzhou City is located at the junction of the Western Regions, Nanyuan and Jiangnan. It is a chaotic place with no one in charge. This is because there is a vast desert in Lanzhou City. The desert has no boundaries and is connected to an unknown distance. Over the years, those in power have wanted to conquer this city, but they could not do anything about the desert.

Over time, this place became a lawless place of chaos, darkness, corruption and crime.

In order to help Uncle Jing, Yun Jiao went to Lanzhou City alone. As long as this force no longer provided weapons assistance to the rebels in the Western Regions, the rebels would collapse on their own.

Little did I know that this trip...

Yun Jiao was born and raised in a small town. In the past fifteen years, except for Jiangnan, she has never left the small town. However, after going to Lanzhou for a while, it seemed like she had lived there for the rest of her life...

.

Golden October.

Lanzhou City is located in the northwest. The climate here is dry and the weather is hot. Due to the desert, the wind and sand are very strong. It is hot during the day and cold at night. The temperature difference between day and night is very large. The people here are also particularly bold and straightforward.

This was Yun Jiao's first time leaving home in the true sense. When she stepped into this city made of loess and mud, she was filled with exotic atmosphere.

The streets are filled with pedestrians, including passing merchants, fierce criminals, wandering knights, and traveling sages. They are of different identities, coming from all over the place, speaking languages ​​with different accents. Everywhere is crowded and bustling.

Yun Jiao carried her bag on her back, looked around curiously, and listened to the conversations of people passing by:

"I didn't expect to run into Brother Zhang in Lanzhou City. Could it be that Brother Zhang is here for the Yang family's marriage proposal as well?"

"The Yang family is one of the top families in Lanzhou City. If you marry Miss Yang, you can inherit a huge fortune. Who wouldn't be tempted? Who wouldn't want it?"

"Hahaha! Isn't it! But I heard that Patriarch Yang has a son. If he has a son, why did he pass the family property to his daughter? Isn't this a bargain for outsiders?"

"Brother Wang, you don't know that this Young Master Yang is just a country bumpkin, not worthy of being on the stage..."
