75: Chapter 75 Reunion with Ji Xingyue

There were still two months left until An Qingyi's invitation.

Ye Xiu thought for a moment and decided to go take a look in advance.

Yunzhong was being taken over by the aristocratic families; he needed to understand the situation there.

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and contacted Councilor Li Shan.

Since he was going to Yunzhong, his status as a General of the military meant he naturally couldn't just represent himself.

After all, he was too lazy to do the work of gathering information.

Letting Councilor Li Shan send people to do it was naturally the safest method.

The call connected.

After a few minutes of explanation, Councilor Li Shan quickly began arranging personnel to accompany him.

Xingluo Mountain.

Half an hour later, a new-era fighter jet landed on the main Peak.

Ye Xiu took a slight step and was instantly beside the fighter jet.

"Hello, General Ye. We are the temporary special envoys. My name is Liu Mei, and he is Wang Gang."

After the two young officers, a man and a woman, got off the fighter jet, they immediately introduced themselves to Ye Xiu.

Ye Xiu nodded politely.

Under their arrangements, he boarded the fighter jet.

"General, the distance between Tianfu and Yunzhong is a total of 130,000 li. This time, I will be escorting you."

Wang Gang said this as he walked into the cockpit.

Ye Xiu did not speak.

Councilor Li Shan was a very thoughtful person; since these two had been arranged to come, he wouldn't be picky about anything.

As for the fighter jet, it didn't matter.

At his speed, it would take less than ten minutes to get to Yunzhong.

No matter how slow the fighter jet was, it didn't matter.

With a roar, the fighter jet took off steadily. Although its speed wasn't very fast, it was quite standard among mecha-type technological weapons.

"General, this is the compiled information table on the aristocratic families."

Liu Mei took out a document and handed it to Ye Xiu to review.

Ye Xiu kept his eyes closed and did not take the document, saying calmly, "You can be in charge of it. Taking you with me this time is mainly to understand the changes in Yunzhong from your perspective."

Liu Mei was stunned, then put the document away, "Understood, General."

Ye Xiu said nothing more.

He didn't have time to gather information.

The reason he asked Councilor Li Shan to arrange for people to accompany him was mainly to collect information on the changes in power in Yunzhong and whether the city was stable.

After all, under normal circumstances, the military had no opportunity to enter Yunzhong.

Currently, Yunzhong was controlled by aristocratic families, and even the newly formed Yunzhong Army had been handed over entirely to the aristocratic families to control.

It could be said that in the current Yunzhong, the three major aristocratic families were the secret rulers.

Although it was still one of the Nine Cities of Great Xia, its internal affairs and military deployments were all decided jointly by the three major aristocratic families.

Above the clouds, the fighter jet was dodging large birds.

Ye Xiu frowned slightly, "Does this fighter jet not carry weapons?"

"General, this is a special fighter jet designed for travel, prioritizing speed."

Speed? Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

Silver light flickered in his eyes, and the [Martial Domain] directly covered the fighter jet.

He controlled the direction and, with a swoosh, the fighter jet disappeared at the end of the horizon.

Wang Gang and Liu Mei were horrified.

They had never seen such speed; the scenery above the clouds had become a blur, and the fighter jet was being controlled by an unknown force, moving at a frightening speed.

Ten minutes later, the outline of Yunzhong appeared before the three of them.

Ye Xiu stopped controlling it.

The horrified Wang Gang then used the fighter jet's instruments to establish contact with the Yunzhong Army.

After communicating for a moment, the fighter jet flew unimpeded directly to the outer district of Yunzhong.

This was the military special zone.

After the three of them got off, Ye Xiu immediately saw a familiar face.

Ji Xingyue!

She was standing in front of a group of officers.

She was still wearing the light purple palace dress from when they first met, and her double pupils were flickering slightly on her exquisite face.

It seemed she was investigating something.

There was no sign of being spied on, and a strange look flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes.

What was this person investigating? To think she could evade his perception.

The reception party walked forward.

Ji Xingyue smiled faintly and bowed slightly, "This young woman greets General Ye here."

"What is this?"

A look of surprise flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes; was this woman always this polite?

"As the person directly in charge of Yunzhong, it is only natural for me to welcome General Ye when you arrive."

Ji Xingyue said with a smile on her face, introducing herself very politely.

Since ancient times, one does not strike a smiling face.

Although Ye Xiu didn't quite approve of the aristocratic families' philosophy, he really couldn't find an excuse to pick a fight with the young woman in front of him.

He scanned the scene.

The officers behind Ji Xingyue were all very young, and their cultivation levels were not low; they were clearly Disciples of the aristocratic families.

Ye Xiu couldn't be bothered with pleasantries.

His Qi Sense instantly covered the entire city, and An Qingyi's aura was immediately detected.

Before he could speak, Ji Xingyue spoke again, "General, this young woman is quite familiar with Miss An. Why not let me guide you, General?"

After finishing, without waiting for Ye Xiu's agreement, she directly ordered the officers behind her, "You all accompany the two distinguished guests from the military to tour Yunzhong."

Those aristocratic family Disciples who had followed were clearly very respectful of Ji Xingyue.

They all nodded in unison and very friendly pulled Liu Mei and Wang Gang along, starting to introduce the more famous places in the city.

Ye Xiu looked at Ji Xingyue and did not refuse.

After nodding at Liu Mei and Wang Gang, he slowly took off into the air, following Ji Xingyue.

On the way, it was as if Ji Xingyue was deliberately taking a detour, letting the beauty and prosperity of Yunzhong fill their eyes.

"General, what do you think of the current Yunzhong?"

"Not bad."

"Hehe... actually, the aristocratic families do not oppose ruling by law. The current governing philosophy of Great Xia is correct, but some people are no longer young. With age, they have long lost their former ideals."

"Young Miss Xingyue, there is no need to beat around the bush; just speak directly."

"Then I will speak plainly. If there is any offense, please do not blame me, General."

Ji Xingyue apologized in advance, then said solemnly, "The Cabinet of Great Xia has always been controlled by old geezers from the previous era. When they were young, perhaps they were able to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the country and the world, without regard for life or death."

"But under the influence of power and interests, some councilors are no longer the young people who could sacrifice themselves for their ideals."

"With the national crisis imminent, Great Xia should replace them with a batch of fresh blood that dares to sacrifice."

"Instead of continuing to face unknown wars in a state of decay."

Although her tone was gentle, the firmness within it made Ye Xiu frown.

He looked into Ji Xingyue's eyes; within those double pupils, it seemed as if the sun, moon, and stars were rotating.

Space-time rules... very strong, possessing the bearing of a Peak expert.
