Chapter 521: Door-to-Door Delivery

~14 min read 2,771 words

The drinking session between Unlike Ning Zhuo and Liu Er did not last long.

Because Liu Er was in a hurry to train the soldiers of the Three Generals Battalion.

Before leaving, he patted Unlike Ning Zhuo on the shoulder: "Although I really want to persuade you, Military Advisor, to focus on taking care of the Three Generals Battalion."

"But thinking about it carefully, I have no qualifications to persuade you like this at all."

"We have been able to reach today, all thanks to the Military Advisor."

"Since Shuang Jing has no sincerity, then I accept your previous proposal, Military Advisor!"

"I just hope that in the future, we can also successfully break away from the Red Flower Battalion."

To join, one needs Mu Lan's consent.

Similarly, if the Three Generals Battalion wants to break away from the Red Flower Battalion and stand on its own in the future, it also needs Mu Lan's consent, and it must be reported to the imperial court, and go through a series of procedures before it can succeed.

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "I will arrange this matter; I will go and discuss it with General Mu Lan, and we can sign a contract."

Liu Er laughed: "A contract is not necessary. I trust you, Military Advisor."

After saying this, he flew away from this place.

Unlike Ning Zhuo watched Liu Er's back until he disappeared into the mountains, and then he withdrew his gaze.

"Liu Er is truly an interesting person." He transmitted his thoughts to Sun Lingtong.

Sun Lingtong was lying in the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon and had also overheard all of this. He lay on the seat, pillowing his head with his hands: "Liu Er is indeed quite capable."

"What he said is moving, but be careful, Little Zhuo."

"Before verifying what he said, it is better to remain skeptical."

Sun Lingtong added: "His reaction in Shuang Jing's tent is also worth investigating."

"I remember before, you told me that you suspected—Liu Er has means of investigation, and he knows the situation of the Three Generals Battalion like the back of his hand."

"Do you think it's possible—that Liu Er just investigated that we were in the inner room when he faced Shuang Jing?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "Boss, I have thought of all these things you said."

"I am just feeling emotional."

"I do have doubts, but from the bottom of my heart, I am willing to believe that what he said is true!"

Sun Lingtong was puzzled: "Ah, why is that?"

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes shone brightly, and he said with a trace of excitement: "From traveling from Fire Persimmon Xiancheng to now, this is the first time I have seen a person like him."

"He has his own ambition!"

Sun Lingtong: "Wanting to establish a pure land that is not excluded? This is indeed a great ambition, but it might also be a castle in the air, right?"

"This goal is really too big; although he has Jin Dan cultivation, it is far from enough to achieve this goal."

"Even with the help of Guan and Zhang Hei, it is still the same."

Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "That's why I said, he is really very interesting."

? co

"His ambition is so great, and the difficulty of achieving it is extremely high!"

"Liu Er's power is too weak compared to his ambition."

"But his belief is so firm! I can feel that he himself deeply recognizes the difficulty of achieving his ambition. But he still went ahead and did it without hesitation."

"This appearance of moving forward towards a goal, willing to put all of himself into this matter, really makes one feel admiration and yearning from the bottom of one's heart."

Sun Lingtong was even more puzzled: "If you say that, Little Zhuo, aren't you the same?"

"In order to resurrect your mother, you are only at the Foundation Establishment level, and you started traveling the world, so desperately."

"Your age is much younger than Liu Er's, so you are even more amazing!"

In Sun Lingtong's heart, how could Liu Er and the like be compared to his own little brother.

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "It's different, this is different!"

Today's drinking session made Unlike Ning Zhuo's impression of Liu Er change greatly.

From the beginning, Unlike Ning Zhuo just wanted to use Liu, Guan, and Zhang to make it convenient for himself to mix into the Liangzhu Kingdom's expeditionary army, mix into the front line, and make it convenient for himself to capture his mother's mechanical carriage.

Therefore, although Unlike Ning Zhuo funded Liu, Guan, and Zhang many times, and the amount became larger and larger, it was all his scheming.

To say that he sincerely wanted to support Liu, Guan, and Zhang, this thought was very small.

In the end, Unlike Ning Zhuo's relationship with Liu, Guan, and Zhang was different. The latter three were sworn brothers, and Unlike Ning Zhuo just happened to meet them and guided the situation.

Just like Mu Lan schemed against Unlike Ning Zhuo, Unlike Ning Zhuo also schemed against Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

It was just that with the subsequent fighting side by side, the comradeship between Unlike Ning Zhuo and the three generals was constantly deepening.

Including the fact that Liu Er once hated Unlike Ning Zhuo, Unlike Ning Zhuo also felt it to some extent. Unlike Ning Zhuo naturally would not care about these things.

From this conversation just now, Unlike Ning Zhuo could feel Liu Er's sincerity.

Liu Er's tragic experience also made Unlike Ning Zhuo resonate significantly.

Liu Er's mother sacrificed herself for him, which was no different from his mother's choice.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not ask Liu Er why he didn't try to resurrect his mother.

Because the answer to this question itself was quite clear—the sect near the mountain village, since it had arranged so much, obviously would not let the soul of the sacrifice fall into the underworld and leave flaws.

Therefore, Liu Er's mother had long since had her soul scattered, and there was no basis for resurrection at all.

"Perhaps precisely because of this, Liu Er developed the ambition to create a pure land."

"Such an ambition itself is his substitute for being unable to save his mother, it is his resistance to his own destiny, his dissatisfaction with the world, it is his unyielding cry, his angry roar!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but feel sympathy for Liu Er.

Resonance, sympathy, admiration, interest—these various emotions mixed together, making Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but have an impulse.

He told Sun Lingtong about his impulse: "Boss, you might not believe it. Compared to Mu Lan, I want to fund Liu Er even more."

"I really want to fight side by side with him, I really want to witness his struggle and hard work."

"I don't know why, but his ambition makes my blood boil!"

"Clearly I am a pure human, not a half-demon."

Sun Lingtong shook his head repeatedly: "Little Zhuo, I feel like you are being foolish."

"We fund Liu, Guan, and Zhang, just to get your mother's relics and increase the possibility."

"Do you want to struggle with Liu Er?"

Sun Lingtong shrugged: "I don't care, this matter must also be very exciting."

"But what about your mother?"

A simple question was like a basin of ice water poured on Unlike Ning Zhuo's head.

Unlike Ning Zhuo was silent for a moment and smiled bitterly: "Boss, you are right."

"I must save my mother first!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed long and turned to rush to the Red Flower Battalion.

Halfway there, Sun Lingtong suddenly said: "Careful! A cultivator is hidden ahead."

When Unlike Ning Zhuo was walking outside, Sun Lingtong had been controlling the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, using the mechanisms within to conduct reconnaissance.

Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't even think and exploded backward, quickly opening the distance.

As a result, the next second, he heard a familiar voice: "Eh? My art of 'a leaf obscuring the eyes' could even deceive Meng Kui. But you could easily see through my whereabouts, not bad."

Unlike Ning Zhuo retreated even faster!

The next moment, Lin Bufan revealed his figure and took out a token: "Young age, meticulous mind, old-fashioned way of doing things, not bad."

"Little friend Ning, if you run again, this batch of Jade Steel Heavy Armor and Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence in my hand will have to be taken back."

Hearing this, Unlike Ning Zhuo recognized that the token was correct, so he stopped his steps.

He ran back happily and bowed: "Sect Master Lin, I didn't expect to see you at this time."

"Awesome!"

"The things you brought are exactly what I need most right now."

Lin Bufan stroked his beard: "That is of course. Du Tiechuan is worthy of being one of the few Grand Generals of the Liangzhu Kingdom; he acts in a dignified manner, but forces both his own side and the enemy side to have to follow his arrangements."

"After you have this batch of Jade Steel Heavy Armor and fully arm the Red Flower Battalion and the Three Generals Battalion, there will still be leftovers."

In his words, Lin Bufan had a deep understanding of Unlike Ning Zhuo's situation.

Unlike Ning Zhuo did not feel surprised at all.

From the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect that Lin Bufan operated, one could see that he was meticulous and thoughtful. Since he came to deliver goods this time, he naturally had to hide his tracks in advance, investigate clearly, confirm that there were no mistakes, and then appear.

The two immediately conducted the handover.

The Jade Steel Heavy Armor had a simple style, giving people a sense of honesty. The surface of the armor emitted a jade-like moist luster, between cyan and ink black.

The top of the helmet was slightly raised, and the face mask part was slightly tilted forward, with fine talismans engraved on both sides.

The armor plate on the chest was wide, covering a wide range, shaped like a shield. The back was relatively flat, and a deflection formation was arranged on both sides of the back to ensure that attacks from the rear would be deflected and dispersed.

The shoulder armor was huge and heavy, round in shape, including the shoulders.

The arm armor design was relatively flexible, and the joints between the armor plates were tight and not abrupt.

The heavy armor on the legs was engraved with a triple formation, the effects of which were to reduce weight, increase agility, and help cultivators recover physical strength faster.

As for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence, it was sealed in a medicine bottle.

Unlike Ning Zhuo used his spiritual sense to penetrate inside and saw a small human-shaped Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence, sitting cross-legged, meditating like a cultivator.

He exclaimed: "This fire essence has such strong spirituality!"

Lin Bufan hummed: "Too many cultivators died in Fire Persimmon Mountain, allowing this Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence to take advantage, absorbing the spirituality of the cultivators, thus becoming extremely dangerous."

Unlike Ning Zhuo pondered: "Senior confiscated this item, it must have taken many risks, it was extremely difficult."

"The Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence itself is already difficult to deal with."

"Not to mention, there is also the City Lord of Fire Persimmon Xiancheng, Meng Kui!"

Lin Bufan: "What you said is correct..."

Immediately, he briefly and concisely narrated to Unlike Ning Zhuo how he helped Unlike Ning Zhuo succeed and how he participated in the competition for the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence.

Unlike Ning Zhuo bowed and thanked Lin Bufan sincerely.

Lin Bufan reached out and helped him up: "The things Little friend Ning has done are not small either."

"I really didn't expect that after you arrived in the Liangzhu Kingdom, you actually became the son-in-law of the Grand General's Mansion."

Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly, his expression a bit awkward: "For the details, please allow the junior to report in detail."

Lin Bufan himself had also inquired about a lot, but he didn't know more about the inside story, and he was indeed curious in his heart.

After hearing Unlike Ning Zhuo's narration, he digested it for a while, then stroked his beard and sighed: "Little friend Ning, your luck is extraordinary. Such a coincidence and twist of fate actually made you the biggest beneficiary in the end."

"In my opinion, you might as well stay in the Liangzhu Kingdom, in the Mansion of Grand General Mu, and cultivate for a period of time to solidify your status."

Lin Bufan was quite happy to hear this news.

He knew that his daughter Lin Shanshan had a good impression of Unlike Ning Zhuo.

But as a father, Lin Bufan was more willing to match his eldest disciple Linghu Jiu with his beloved daughter.

Now, Unlike Ning Zhuo and Mu Lan had become husband and wife. In Lin Bufan's view, it was a happy event!

Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head: "I have already agreed with General Mu Lan that after this great battle, I will stay away from the Liangzhu Kingdom."

"Although the Mansion of Grand General Mu is good, I have no blessing to stay here."

Lin Bufan shook his head slightly: "In that case, it's a pity."

Unlike Ning Zhuo took the opportunity to persuade Lin Bufan to stay for a while and participate in this great battle. At present, the Liangzhu Kingdom clearly had the advantage, and if they captured a few giant wood mountains, there would definitely be a large amount of spoils. It must include a lot of herbs.

Lin Bufan chuckled and pointed at Unlike Ning Zhuo's nose: "Good boy, still the same as before."

"Want to trick me into helping in the battle?"

"Heh, I won't fall for your trick."

"My Ten Thousand Medicine Sect belongs to the Nandou Kingdom, and for a Spirit Transformation level cultivator like me to sneak near the Liangzhu Kingdom's army is already violating many rules."

"Coming to help you again and participating in the next great battle would be too much."

"Don't mention this again, take care of yourself, I'm going."

After Lin Bufan finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, flew into the high sky, and quietly escaped, leaving quite decisively.

Unlike Ning Zhuo carefully put away the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence and checked the Jade Steel Heavy Armor again.

In the Ten Thousand Mile Wandering Dragon, Sun Lingtong was also happy for Unlike Ning Zhuo: "Little Zhuo, we originally wanted to manufacture military supplies and sell them here. I didn't expect the first batch of heavy armor to be so fitting!"

Unlike Ning Zhuo was also happy in his heart: "This is a coincidence and a twist of fate."

"I was looking forward to the Ten Thousand Year Fire Essence more before, but I didn't expect the Jade Steel Heavy Armor to make me feel happier."

With this batch of heavy armor, he no longer needed to make a choice, and he had a better support plan for both the Three Generals Battalion and the Red Flower Battalion.

Unlike Ning Zhuo came to the Red Flower Battalion.

Without needing to report, Mu Lan immediately received him.

"I brought good news." Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled at Mu Lan, his attitude very casual.

Mu Lan also smiled: "Coincidentally, Husband, I also have good news to tell you."

Unlike Ning Zhuo's expression immediately restrained a bit: "General Mu Lan, just call me Unlike Ning Zhuo."

Mu Lan followed his wishes: "Okay, Husband."

Unlike Ning Zhuo sighed helplessly and first took out the Jade Steel Heavy Armor.

Mu Lan's eyes lit up, and after inspection, she evaluated: "Although the quality is inferior, the materials are solid, enough to cope with the assessment of the reviewing stand."

This batch of Jade Steel Heavy Armor was produced by the Ning family branch. According to the current level of artifact refining of the branch, it was indeed inferior.

Mu Lan also took out a piece of heavy armor and handed it to Unlike Ning Zhuo: "I told you before, this is the Hundred-Armed Arhat Armor used by Tang Jifeng."

Mechanical Heavy Armor!

Unlike Ning Zhuo's eyes immediately shone, and he walked up excitedly, stroking the surface of the heavy armor with both hands.

"Awesome, too awesome!"

Seeing Unlike Ning Zhuo so happy, with his gaze stuck on the mechanical heavy armor, Mu Lan knew that this gift was indeed catering to his preferences, and it was sent correctly! ===== CHAPTER 522 =====
