Lu Chuan soon understood why Zhang Sanwen had brought him into the group, because Utopia was in a predicament where no one was available.

Speaking of which, there are hundreds of chosen people in Utopia, each with unique talents and special abilities. Previously, there was still enough money left to send people to Jingguo to work as mercenaries, so how could there be a shortage of people?

But the fact that there is a shortage of people is placed in front of Utopia. It was not felt when everyone was concentrated in a small place in Utopia. Peace talks with Wu Guoyi were carried out, and several major tasks of commerce, publicity and population introduction were carried out at the same time. It turned out that the mobile

His strength was quickly exhausted.

The caravans dispatched need people to protect them, people who want to come to Utopia need people to take care of them, and the Dingxi City under construction needs people to manage and guard. These tasks all require leaving Utopia, and the return period is very long. Many temporary tasks need to be arranged and coordinated.

.

Lu Chuan understood immediately after listening to Zhang Sanwen's explanation. Lu Chuan had also wondered before why it was Yu Huan who was sent by Utopia to Wu Kingdom to save Lao Jiang, who was protecting Lu Chuan, and who was escorting the peace negotiation envoy.

Going out to sea to kill Canglong is also Yu Huan...

He also instantly understood why Utopia was willing to make great efforts to bring back the Jiang family from the Wu Kingdom, why the committee took advantage of the opportunity of the Chosen Death to accept the chosen people from outside despite all the opinions, and why Tian Luyuan was the only one

The former propaganda minister was assigned to protect the caravan.

Behind these things are reflected the shortage of people in Utopia, including this time Lu Chuan formed a team to do the task. Except for Yang Ming himself who had no job, everyone else coordinated with people from various departments to put aside their work and come to help.

Not only is Utopia short of people, but with the external expansion of trade, propaganda, etc., the gap is constantly widening.

As Jiao Beichuan in the group said, Utopia has taken too big a step. They want to quickly spread the business and intelligence network, but the situation in Wu State is different from that of Jing State before, especially when Emperor Wu was dealing with domestic sects.

In terms of door control, he is obviously much worse than Jing Congyun.

In the eyes of some sects of the Wu Kingdom, Utopia's caravan is simply a fat sheep sent by heaven. If you rob it, you will rob it. As for whether Utopia will start a new war with the Wu Kingdom in anger, then I will shut down a small sect.

Bullshit.

As long as the site is kept clean, there will be no problem. If it doesn't work, you can disband the current sect and take the core members to build a new sect elsewhere. The Wu Kingdom is so big, there is no place where you can't be free and happy.

.

However, Utopia's previous idea of ​​cooperating with powerful local sects was not safe. The sects could first arrange for moles to enter the chamber of commerce, then send people disguised as other sects to rob, cooperate inside and outside, and finally apologize deeply for not protecting them well.

, pay reparations to Utopia.

But for Utopia, the members of the Chamber of Commerce who have been cultivated with great difficulty to accept progressive ideas and have the ability to do business are the most precious wealth. Utopia has just started, and they simply cannot afford such losses.

Therefore, it is inevitable to adopt a contraction strategy. Since the last attack on Shouhuai County, Utopia has held many internal meetings to discuss under what circumstances the dormant caravans can be reactivated, and how to withdraw the external caravans.

This time, the incident in Chunzhou County became an overwhelming factor and broke some people's illusions about the situation in Wu Kingdom.

They had to choose to withdraw their caravans first, concentrate on managing the Western Region and Zhongzhou, and contract the areas other than these two areas to local sects that were interested in making a fortune. Utopia only distributed goods but did not send people.

...

This night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people. Utopia's military department quickly mobilized and quickly gathered personnel and troops to the border to adopt a deterrent attitude. The Ministry of Commerce quickly arranged for the dormant retreat of various chambers of commerce and coordinated rescue personnel.

At the same time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a very harsh diplomatic note to the emperor and the Ministry of Rites of Wu State, requiring Wu State to explain the attack in Chunzhou County and hand over the murderer.

Emperor Wu was woken up by his chamberlain as soon as he fell asleep. As soon as he woke up, he received the huge bad news. The prime minister, the Minister of Rites, and the Minister of War were waiting for him in the imperial study to discuss countermeasures.

Frequent incidents of attacks on Utopia caravans in the Wu Kingdom are extremely detrimental to the relationship between Utopia and the Wu Kingdom. Although both countries know that peaceful relations will not last forever, the Wu Kingdom certainly does not want a fire in the backyard at this time.

In addition to Emperor Wu having a meeting, Lu Chuan and Sanshi also called their companions out to discuss their next itinerary and plans.

The "evacuation" plan given by Utopia was generally not complicated. Lu Chuan and his party quickly traveled eastward to pick up caravans from various counties in the east, until they met at the farthest Laizhou County. There were two other teams like them.

, are heading to the northern and southern regions for support.

During the time when various teams were picking up people, Zhang Sanwen would modify his experimental aircraft, add as many seats as possible, or find a way to build a new, larger aircraft, and then Liu Mingjiang would use

He transformed into another person and flew a plane to Laizhou County to pick up people.

After picking up the eastern caravan from Laizhou County, the plane flew to the north and south, picking up all the caravans that needed to return to Utopia and returning to Utopia together.

According to this rescue plan, the journey back to Utopia by the original route of Lu Chuan's team is longer than the journey eastward to the Eastern Territory for rescue, and the time required is also similar.

"Basically, this is the plan our family has made. This is what I think. It will take us five or six days to go eastward, and it will take five or six days to go back."

This temporary coordination task is also needed by the organization. The rescue task is not too difficult for our team, and the rewards for urgent tasks will definitely not be bad, so I personally prefer to do it next.

But this time our mission has been completed, and whether we go or not depends on everyone’s opinions.”

Lu Chuan finished synchronizing the information with everyone and made his preference very clear. He said that whether he would go or not would depend on everyone's opinion. In fact, he used words to tie everyone together, making it difficult for people to refuse.

No one in the team members wanted to refuse. Lu Chuan made the matter very clear. Anyway, it would take almost the same time to go east or west. If you go east, you can also travel in Wu Kingdom.

"Mr. Lu, if you don't consider our caravan, can you get to the east more quickly?"

Wu Jiande heard the commotion in the middle of the night and came over to listen. He also received a message from the Ministry of Commerce to terminate the current mission.

The original itinerary of their caravan was to cooperate with Lu Chuan and others to complete the mission and replenish supplies to various counties and cities near Zhongzhou, but now the situation has changed. They need to go to the Imperial Capital first, and then wait for updated news in the Imperial Capital.

"The Imperial Capital is very close to Wuqiu County. We will stay in the protective formation with President Lin and the others, and the Imperial Capital will send people to pick us up tomorrow. Gentlemen, you can leave us alone and go to the East as soon as possible. Please

Already."

Wu Jiande said with some worry, he probably knew that Lu Chuan and others could actually move faster if they didn't have to take care of ordinary people like them in the caravan. This time they followed the caravan, not only to deceive others, but also for protection.

"I can fly and lead people." Ding Xingrong suddenly said. She can transform into a very large flying spirit beast, the Traceless Eagle, which can take everyone on the road quickly, and only consumes her own energy.

The teammates are all practitioners, and the limit speed that their bodies can withstand is much higher than that of ordinary people. Except for Lu Chuan, who is a little bit worse, the others are not afraid even if they fall from the sky.

"Wherever the cloud shuttle can be driven, use the cloud shuttle. There are six of us and we can take turns driving it. Wherever the cloud shuttle cannot be driven, Sister Ding will have to work harder.

Master Wu’s worries are justified. The situation in the east is complicated. The sooner we set off, the sooner they can get safety guarantees. If there is no problem, we will pack up our things and set off later."

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, everyone dispersed. Yu Huan had nothing to clean up, so he followed Lu Chuan into his room and said with a frown:

"I still think it's better for you and Xiaoxiao Xiaoding to go back to Utopia first, and take Ding Fengbo back with you. I can just go to the East with Lao Jiang Yangming..."

"Uncle Yu, that's not what you said before. How can we, the combat sect, be afraid of danger? We still have to experience life and death. Back then, you were able to slay magical powers if you wished!

Moreover, we are all together, and we have all the talismans around us. Just be careful. By the way, Uncle Yu, Ding Fengbo will be worn by you first. If a battle breaks out, this treasure will definitely give you added power."

Lu Chuan smiled and joked with Yu Huan while tidying up the things in the room. Thirty also put away his cockpit cat nest and some cat toys in the room.

"That's not what I'm worried about. When the time comes, the plane will pick us up first and then go to the northern and southern borders. There must be a team on both sides led by Lao Tian, ​​and we will run into each other then."

Yu Huan hopes that Lu Chuan will return to Utopia first, and also hopes that he can avoid Tianluyuan.

"I didn't want to avoid him. Why should I avoid him? I didn't do anything wrong. If I was afraid of seeing him when you were around, then when he returned to Utopia, he wanted to find a chance to meet me alone.

Even more difficult to guard against.

And I have the talisman Cheng Guanxue gave me in my hand. I will take a look at it after we meet. If he has any ill intentions towards me, we will take him down first and then I will report it to the committee."

Lu Chuan said calmly that he had never met the former Minister of Propaganda. According to Zhang Sanwen and Yu Huan, this man seemed to have been tortured to the point of darkness by the Chosen Sword.

But this matter has nothing to do with him, Lu Chuan. He doesn't like this feeling of being on his back. If there is a problem, he must solve it. If Tian Luyuan really has a problem, he must be solved as soon as possible.

Yu Huan looked at Lu Chuan, who had a calm but serious expression, and felt a little emotional. He, a weak but talented apprentice, was quickly adapting to the world and growing up.

He has gathered a small force of strength around himself and is constantly adding weight to himself to ensure his safety.

Yu Huan asked himself in his heart, if Tian Luyuan really had ill intentions towards Lu Chuan, would he take action against Tian Luyuan? Will Utopia deal with Tian Luyuan for Lu Chuan?

He knew the answer to the previous question very clearly in his heart, yes.

...

When Tian Luyuan received the news, he was sitting alone in the courtyard of the Chamber of Commerce in Pinglang County, Wu State, drinking tea.

Pinglang County is the northeasternmost county in the western border of Wu Kingdom, adjacent to Rongrui and Peibai counties, and is only separated from Wuqiu County by Peibai County.

The person who sent him the message was his former deputy Li Wenjin, who is also the current propaganda minister of Utopia. The content of the message was that he hoped that he could first enter the northern border of Wu State to support the dormant caravan there, and that the personnel who would cooperate with him would soon arrive.

Keep up.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Tian Luyuan sent the message and sighed softly.

Today, he accompanied the person in charge of the Pinglang County Chamber of Commerce. He had just reached a cooperation with the largest sect in the surrounding area and completed his mission in Pinglang County ahead of schedule. He originally planned to go to Wuqiu County tomorrow to look for opportunities to communicate with

Lu Chuan talked about it, but a new task came again.

Tian Luyuan used his own channels to find out about Lu Chuan's ability. He could recall scenes of specific scenes at a specific time.

But he didn't believe this statement. It was impossible to judge Tian Yao's life and death with the ability of retrospection alone, and it was not enough for him to become the person in charge of an S-level project so quickly.

Tian Luyuan had a lot of guesses in his mind, but for such an important matter, just guessing was certainly not enough for him.

He clicked on WeChat and found Lu Chuan's profile picture in the large group. His finger rested on the "Add to Friends" button, but he still didn't click it.

If the friend request is approved, what should I say to Lu Chuan? With Zhang Sanwen's character, he must have reminded Lu Chuan after the last incident. He can imagine that Lu Chuan should be wary of him now.

Tian Luyuan sighed again. They were suspicious of him, so how could he not be suspicious of them? If the Ministry of Science really knew that Yao'er was still alive, why didn't they send anyone to rescue her or tell him?

He couldn't figure it out. Maybe he could get more information only by meeting Lu Chuan. Unfortunately, he was about to go north.

Li Wenjin sent him a new message on his mobile phone, about a more detailed plan for this rescue. He was responsible for the rescue in the north. After gathering all the caravans, they went to Fengsu County to wait, and the Utopia plane would come to pick them up.

"Who is in charge of the Eastern and Southern Territories?" Tian Luyuan suddenly thought of something and replied to Li Wenjin's message.

"The ones in the east are Lu Chuan and Yu Huan, and the ones in the south are Jiang Chenghao."

"I know, I'll leave now."

Tian Luyuan looked at Li Wenjin's reply and finally had a smile on his face. He was going to wake up the person in charge of the Chamber of Commerce in Pinglang County and tell him that he had received an order and needed to leave urgently.

He put away WeChat and retreated to the desktop of his mobile phone. His screensaver picture was an old photo of their family of three.
