Chapter 589: Master Sister’s Routing Record!

Ming Dou Mountains.

The border between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire.

All along, both sides have deployed troops on both sides, facing each other around the mountains, with occasional friction and probing. As the situation between the two countries changes, the atmosphere on both sides of the mountains is becoming more and more tense, and the number of soldiers deployed on the border is gradually increasing.

The disappearance of Duke White Tiger gave the Sun-Moon Empire an opportunity, but the explosion in Mingdu made up for the Sun-Moon Empire's impulsive thinking.

On the contrary, the Sun-Moon Empire had no intention of attacking the outside world for the time being, and could only choose to stabilize the country first. The Xing Luo Empire saw an opportunity and wanted to counterattack the Sun-Moon Empire and retaliate against the previous threats from the Sun-Moon Empire.

The prerequisite for shifting conflicts outward is that both the top leaders and the people can reach a consensus.

But now that the Sun-Moon Empire wants to launch a war against other countries, Jing Hongchen will not agree to it. After all, his precious grandson and granddaughter are still in Shrek's hands.

Given Jing Hongchen's status, as long as he doesn't nod, even if Xu Tianran speaks up, the war cannot be fought, because most of the senior soul engineers of the Sun Moon Empire will not cooperate with the army. After all, Jing Hongchen is the spiritual leader of all the soul engineers of the Sun Moon Empire.

Unless the Sun and Moon Emperor agrees to start a war.

Some of the military’s previous actions were intended to gain the approval of Emperor Sun and Moon.

Although the Sun-Moon Empire is still not prepared to deal with the former Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, it is the Star Luo Empire that has problems. The threat level of an army without a commander will be greatly reduced.

The military also did not intend to go to war directly with the original Douluo Three Kingdoms and Shrek Academy, but wanted to push the front line across the Mingdou Mountains and accomplish what their predecessors had not done, in order to gain merit and benefits.

However, the two explosions in Mingdu have caused internal troubles in the Sun-Moon Empire.

The attitude of the Sun and Moon Emperor also became unclear.

The most important thing is that the Sun and Moon Emperor has not died yet, and Xu Tianran has not thought about sailing yet.

Various situations overlapped with each other, making the current situation of the Sun and Moon Empire very delicate.

It all depends on where the balance is broken first.

Due to the tense situation between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire, the checkpoint inspections on the border between the two countries have become very strict, which has had a significant impact on cross-border trade.

There was a strong crackdown on those who wanted to sneak across the border. Once they were labeled as spies of the enemy country, the smugglers might be beheaded on the spot.

Many caravans were forced to take the route where the Tianhun Empire bordered the Sun-Moon Empire, or to take the water route from the south, bypassing the Xingluo Empire, and conduct commercial trade between the Sun-Moon Empire and the Douling Empire.

Most of these new trade routes will cause costs to rise, causing merchants to raise prices when selling goods, causing prices in Douluo Continent to start rising.

Fortunately, both the Sun-Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire have an agricultural base, and their land area is vast, with a lot of land suitable for farming, which limits the increase in food prices in the two countries.

The rise in food prices is because the two countries are heading towards war, which has caused some people to start hoarding food and supplies. However, because the situation has not deteriorated further and the trend of war is not significant, the number of people hoarding food is not large, so the food price has not risen to an exaggerated level all at once, but it is slowly approaching the warning line.

Both empires have their own checkpoints, and everyone who wants to enter or leave the border needs to be inspected.

Scrutiny is much stricter today.

To prevent spies from the enemy country from entering their own country, and to prevent traitors from their own country from defecting to the enemy country.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to cross the Mingdou Mountains at this time.

After learning about the situation, Zhang Lexuan decided to sneak into the Sun and Moon Empire.

Zhang Lexuan, who had set out early, was temporarily blocked due to the confrontation on the border between the two countries. However, she would not choose to turn back, but would go to the Sun-Moon Empire no matter what.

Faced with such strict border inspections, Zhang Lexuan guessed that it would be difficult for the Messenger of Death to leave the Sun-Moon Empire. It was very likely that the Messenger of Death was still within the Sun-Moon Empire. Instead, she felt more hopeful.

During this period, if you want to enter and exit the two countries through normal channels, you need to have sufficient power behind you to guarantee you, and your identity must be clean within the two countries.

Zhang Lexuan did not choose to rely on the relationship with Shrek Academy, otherwise she would be targeted as soon as she entered the Sun-Moon Empire, which would make her search for the messenger of death more difficult.

She did not choose to take a detour because she was worried about Beibei. The longer she delayed, the more likely the messenger of death would run away and Beibei would be in danger.

Then the only option left is to smuggle, which is the most risky route.

After making preparations, Zhang Lexuan found a place where the Xingluo Empire's defenses were weak, plunged into the Mingdou Mountains, and then headed south, heading towards the Mingdou Forest.

Zhang Lexuan decided to smuggle herself across the border, so she was naturally not unprepared. She had already gathered information and planned the most feasible route.

The people of Douluo Continent also understand that the higher the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. There are also some desperate criminals on the border who are engaged in the smuggling business and have long figured out several feasible routes.

We just need to catch two people who are doing this business, and then interrogate them, and we will know everything about the smuggling.

With Zhang Lexuan's Soul Douluo strength, she would hardly encounter any obstacles in doing anything she wanted to do, unless she ran into a Titled Douluo.

Zhang Lexuan could even force her way across the border, but in order not to bring trouble to Shrek Academy and to avoid exposing her identity and attracting targeting, Zhang Lexuan chose to smuggle across the border in a low-key manner.

After all, there are Titled Douluo guarding the border between the two countries, so it is better to be safe than sorry.

The route chosen by Zhang Lexuan is the one with the highest danger and the lowest risk.

The risk is the risk of being discovered by the armies of the two countries, and the danger comes from the dangers on the road.

The route is to enter the Mingdou Mountains, then go south into the Mingdou Forest, pass through the inner circle of the Mingdou Forest, and finally arrive at the Sun and Moon Empire.

This route is the longest and has the most changes, because although the Mingdou Forest is not as dangerous as the Xingdou Forest, it is rich in mutated soul beasts, and the mutated soul beasts are not simple.

However, because of the natural barrier of Mingdou Forest, the number of patrol soldiers arranged by the two countries on both sides of the Mingdou Forest was not large, which gave people an opportunity to take advantage.

A smuggler without strength would hardly choose this route, otherwise there would be no other ending except becoming the poop of a soul beast.

After entering the Mingdou Mountains, Zhang Lexuan kept a low profile all the way and even did not travel very fast.

Because the Mingdou Mountains are not absolutely safe.

The Mingdou Mountains are not only the border between the two countries, but also a natural defense for the two countries. Both countries are competing for control of the Mingdou Mountains, because only by controlling the Mingdou Mountains can they send troops safely and be able to attack or defend.

Because of the Mingdou Mountains, neither country could send large-scale troops directly into the mountains to station and march, but they both sent out many elite teams to patrol and occupy different areas. Most of the friction between the two sides was caused by the people in these teams.

In order not to attract the attention of these teams, Zhang Lexuan had to be very careful.

In fact, it is not particularly difficult for Contra to bypass the patrols of some military teams, so Zhang Lexuan advanced safely all the way.

But often, the enemy does not come from the front, but from behind.

What Zhang Lexuan didn't notice was that an ice-blue centipede would always stick its head out from behind her and monitor her actions.

It turned out to be the centipede's clone!

In the Mingdou Mountains, the centipede-foot clone slowly climbed up the arm of a black-robed figure. Huo Yuhao learned the situation from the centipede-foot clone and couldn't help but laugh.

"Big sister, I found you~"
