Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 341 Lan: Stop talking

Listening to your own embarrassing past is not a pleasant feeling.

However, seeing that General Tianji had finished his questioning, Lan flew out from Xing's hood.

"Finished asking?"

Lan spoke casually, her tone calm: "After listening for so long, it seems I haven't gained anything except for recalling those tragic past events."

Feixiao: ...She crashed.

Wait, is this the Emperor's Bow and Fate?

Feixiao had never seen such a small doll version of the Emperor Bow Master before. When he saw it for the first time, his ears stood up straight, and even the fox fur on them stood up one by one.

Jing Yuan and Huai Yan were already used to it, and quickly bowed:

"This humble general, Jing Yuan/Huai Yan, pays his respects to the Imperial Bow Master."

Fei Xiao was startled and then woke up: "This humble general Fei Xiao greets the Imperial Bow Master."

Her mind was racing, trying to recall if she had said anything detrimental to Jingyuan.

Many people probably believe that there was some grudge among the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow, otherwise Taibu Fuxuan would not have said that "the Seven Heavenly Generals are not easy to deal with".

However, it is not.

Just like the Stonehearts in the company, that kid named Latio told the "family" that the Stonehearts weren't as united as they thought, and what happened?

"Our friendship is unbreakable" is their current reality.

The same applies to the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Emperor's Bow.

It's not that friendships are truly unbreakable, but rather that most people unconsciously choose "stability."

Lan wasn't good at these things, but she wasn't ignorant of them; she didn't continue asking those questions.

"The nameless guest's answer is correct. I was also here before and after the Luofu disaster, and what they said is completely in line with the facts."

Lan confirmed everything Xing had just said, then looked at Feixiao: "As for those voices inside... it's been so many years and it's still the same. I'm not surprised. Suppressing those unpleasant voices is the Marshal's job. You just need to report what you just said truthfully."

"After all, these anonymous guests' answers were good enough; if it were Shi Zhi, he wouldn't have said anything any better."

Is the anonymous guest an outsider?

No, she is now an unknown guest, that is, my wife.

Fei Xiao nodded to indicate that he understood: "Yes, Siming, I will tell the Marshal the truth. However, there are still many controversies within the alliance, and the message conveyed to General Jingyuan... is not pleasant."

Feixiao said tactfully.

Lan smiled indifferently: "I've heard about it. It's nothing more than saying that Shence failed in his duties, was negligent, or even lost his mind. Don't listen to those things. After all, their ancestors probably said the same thing about Wu and Zhi a long time ago. It's just a meaningless attack."

Sand Gold had already told Yun Zhi these things when he was in Pinocchio. They weren't anything worth paying attention to; they were just petty people. The key was to use their talents to their advantage—that was also the Marshal's job.

"As for those unfounded speculations, whether from other immortal ships or within Luofu, if they have any questions, they can come directly to the Starry Sky Train to debate with me."

Lan smiled:

"Although I am not good at this, I am not so bad at speaking that I cannot even clear up these rumors."

Forgive our bluntness, but when we're actually in your presence, everyone becomes tongue-tied.

No one dared to respond to Lan's words.

"Enough of that, Sky Strike, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Yes, Master of Fate... This humble general does indeed have something to say..."

Fei Xiao thought about the marshal's mission and what those old guys like Yao Qing had said.

Anyway, it's all pretty much the same, and the marshal was just going with the flow.

"After the Great Lord of Extinction escaped from prison... Yaoqing's fox people are somewhat worried about the security of Luofu Prison and hope to transfer Hulei to Yaoqing's custody."

"Siming must know that a prophet calling herself Mangus has appeared within the Buli people's tribe. She has rallied the Buli people, and her current target is probably Hulei."

Oh, that's unnecessary. Hu Lei won't even live to see the opening of the martial arts ceremony.

Lan waved her hand: "Do as you please. Whether Hu Lei can make it to Yao Qing alive depends on whether he wants to live or not. As for the prophet you mentioned—"

He gave a strange laugh:

"The Destroyer may fool an ignorant dog, but the Alpha Wolf will never allow himself to become her pawn."

In conclusion, it's no use for Hu Lei to live.

He had to die, even if it was for the pride of the wolf king.

"Then, could you two nameless guests please accompany me to the Prison of Confinement?"

Feixiao looked at Xing and Danheng to the side.

"We also need to apply to the judge of the Questioning Department to leave a detailed testimony for everyone on the Mirror of Karma, to fill in the gaps in the report, and also to shut up the internal protests."

Lan showed little interest: "I'll let them go in a few days."

They're still messing around with those wandering people on Luofu Mountain.

Although dealing with it sooner rather than later is better, since he only wants Hu Lei's heart, let him have it.

(This part wasn't handled well. After Fei Xiao questioned them, they should have gone to the Youqiu Prison immediately, but I didn't pay attention to that when I was writing it. The author is trying to correct the timeline.)

Lan's assessment of Hu Lei seemed somewhat unexpected, but Fei Xiao had no objection to it.

Their most important task is to resolve the internal issues of Xianzhou Luofu as soon as possible.

————————————————————

Meanwhile, Yunzhi was watching March 7's crash course in swordsmanship.

She worked very hard, sweating profusely.

However, dealing with someone like Scott...

Actually, there are other methods.

For example...

After finishing her conversation with Fei Xiao, Xing returned to March 7th to continue serving as a teaching assistant.

—That's why they say this kid is a workhorse; look at his work ethic.

Worried about how to improve her swordsmanship, March 7th decided to go to the Pill Refining Bureau to look for some spiritual herbs.

Yunzhi went along too.

And then...

They encountered a pink-furred, squinty-eyed fox at Dan Ding Si.
