Everyone put in a bit more effort.

We might finish early today and then we can all go have a drink together.

If you treat, I'll go.

Lu Shing straightforwardly laid out.

Lu Dong, who had been working hard, also raised his hand to agree.

You guys hearing this, Sure.

Yaoan chuckled and nodded.

All right, I'll treat everyone.

Let us move quickly.

If we go late, there might not be a spot.

Days passed by and after nearly half a month, Elvong had basically adapted to life and work in Mingjing City and he welcomed his first day off during which he also met an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.

Ever since you became the emperor's secretary, "It has been quite difficult to see you my friend.

" Shun Jun teased with a playful expression.

Work is busy.

It's not like I can just take a break whenever.

Elvong casually replied, which left Shan Jun a bit stunned.

What is wrong seeing Shan Jun in a days? LV Yong asked curiously.

It feels strange, Shanzhun<unk>s response was somewhat baffling.

What feels strange? I can't quite put into words.

So, it feels strange.

Elvong rolled his eyes in silence.

Have the dishes been ordered? They ve been ordered.

But the business at this restaurant opened by the emperor is too good.

The speed of serving the dishes is really slow.

Shinjun, who had clearly been waiting for quite a while, couldn't help but complain.

is NT that because you picked the wrong time, it's peak dining time right now.

If you had come an hour later, it would be much more relaxed here.

After saying that, looking at Shun Jun leaning on the railing, who he wasn't sure was even listening, Elvie Yang felt even more speechless, "What are you doing leaning there?" Listening to the story, Shan Jun replied absent-mindedly.

Upon hearing this, Elvong also leaned closer to the railing and saw a storyteller in a linen robe animatedly narrating the story of the tiger shooting in Shiuan City, captivating everyone in the restaurant, who cheered and in their hearts grew even more respectful towards their emperor.

After a story concluded, while the storyteller took a break to drink tea, Shan Jun, who had been leaning on the railing, finally moved.

However, upon turning around and looking at the empty plates on his table, Shan Jun<unk>s expression froze.

Where did these empty plates come from? Just as he was halfway through his words, it seemed he suddenly realized something and instinctively looked at Elvy Yong, then hesitantly spoke.

Elvong at this moment, Elvyong, sitting there elegantly, wiped the corner of his mouth and said, "The dining table is a battlefield.

" Shun Jun, you have been too lax, huh? Shan Jun looked bewildered, then rubbed his forehead hard.

Wait, I must be dreaming.

We're still half asleep, right? With his thought.

Shan Jun rubbed his forehead until it turned red and hurt before finally accepting the reality before him.

Now I understand what feels strange.

Elvong, you've changed.

Change how? You used to eat much slower.

All right, I was joking, but you used to do everything at a leisurely pace now.

As he spoke, looking at the clean plates in front of him, Shan Jun didn't know what to say.

Efficiency is very important and the emperor has said that any superficial work that can be saved should be saved.

What matters is the substance.

Elfeed Shen Jun could not imagine what had happened during this time that had caused such a significant change in LV Yong who still appeared graceful.

Forget it.

Forget it.

A one dwell on this.

After calling the waiter, Shun Jun ordered a few more dishes and directly shifted the topic to another matter.

LV Yang, do you know where I can find this storyteller? What do you want to invite a few storytellers to your restaurant and tea house? Yes.

It's in a merchant's nature to seek profit and Shenzhun undoubtedly saw the commercial value of this storyteller at a glance.

In this era, where there are basically no entertainment activities, the status of listening to stories goes without saying.

A storyteller can easily attract a large audience wherever they go.

And if he could invite a few storytellers to his place, how could his tea house and restaurant business not flourish? However, it's not that easy.

In the realm of 10,000 civilizations, being a storyteller is not a common profession.

They can disseminate information and intelligence.

But to avoid chaotic elements disrupting the rhythm, Luog has undoubtedly formalized the profession of storytelling.

It's not just anyone who can become a storyteller.

To become one, you must first register with a relevant department, go through an interview, undergo a review, confirm loyalty, and then undergo a certain level of formal training.

After graduating, you will receive a storyteller's license, and only then can you be considered a formal storyteller.

By the way, if someone impersonates a storyteller without a license and spreads rumors for profit, Luog has clearly stated 3 years minimum up to the death penalty.

Chapter 323.

The contradictory combination, part one.

At this moment, Ming Jing city looked like a picture of peace and tranquility.

The people in the city worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, leading a relatively fulfilling life.

However, sitting in his new office, Lu Gi knew that the wave of invasion wars was far from over.

After a period of development and expansion, the large territorial connections provided Lu G with an advantage.

It became easier for him to deploy his defensive forces.

In most cases, he only needed to concentrate his troops on a few key outer cities to ensure absolute security, except for one area.

Your Majesty, frontline battle report.

A guard rushed in holding a battle report.

Luog took the report and frowned at once.

He had previously stated that in this wave of invasion wars, he could generally ensure safety wherever the opposing players invaded, but there was one exception, the grasslands.

Due to geographical reasons, even the nearest Iron Wall city could not expand its territory into the grasslands in a short time.

This resulted in Luog's territory being split into a large and a small section with the grasslands being the smaller part.

Unfortunately, this time the enemy had invaded the grasslands.

After the effect of the truce card ended, the invading players were still from the merchant army and there were three cities on the grasslands.

Wild Horse City, White Horse City, and Eagle City.

This time, the enemy targeted White Horse City.

The battles on the grasslands were primarily cavalry-based with infantry as support.

However, this time they unexpectedly encountered their nemesis.

According to the report, this merchant army seemed to have brought a large number of shield soldiers and spear soldiers.

Undoubtedly, this was a classic contradictory combination and one of the mainstream slow attack strategies.

The shield soldiers held their shields in front while the spear soldiers advanced under the protection of the shield soldiers thanks to the length of their spears.

This could be considered a very stable and versatile configuration coupled with their deliberately spread out formation.

It was clearly aimed at countering the city as stonethrowing troops.

Reflecting on the enemy's performance during the previous invasion, it seemed that this merchant army was a typical steady player.

And Lu G could hardly find anything wrong with their actions.

As his thoughts raced, Lu G quickly took out a uniquely shaped bronze military token and handed it to a nearby guard.

Take my half of the military token and ride quickly to Iron Wall City.

Order the city as defenders, Lu Jang and Zhao, to rush to support White Horse City.

Also tell them that capturing the alien leader alive is the top priority.

If that's not possible, then kill them.

If they can't even manage that, then drive them deep into the grasslands.

Yes, your majesty.

The guard took the bronze military token, packed some rations, and set off immediately.

For this battle, Lu Gi did not plan to head to the front lines himself.

Given Ming Jing city's current location, if he gathered his troops and made his way to White Horse City, it would take at least 5 days of travel.

In other words, he might end up making a wasted trip.

Moreover, he was the emperor with a vast territory under his command.
