In the next few days, Baili City was taken over by the main force of the Dragon Camp, and the body of the black-clothed man who assassinated Bai Yu was also found outside the city.

Wan Xing immediately sent someone to report to the royal court, and at the same time commended Bai Yu's military exploits, because his injuries had not healed, he ordered him to rest for a while, and Lian Yun temporarily managed the part of the Wuwei army he led. After a few days of recuperation, Bai Yu's arrow wound was much better.

During the day, he was still recuperating from his injuries, and walked leisurely in the garden of the city lord's mansion. Suddenly, his hand reached into his bosom and he felt a handkerchief from his bosom, and the handkerchief was unfolded to several red beans. At this time, he recalled the scene when the army went out of the sea gate city, and Luo Rui saw them off outside the city.

It was autumn, the army set off first, he said goodbye to her, he remembered very clearly that day, her smile before parting, showing the softness of a woman in her gestures.

As he turned to leave, she whispered behind his back, "I'll wait for you to come back!"

He turned his head and couldn't help but respond, "Mmmm!"

She added: "I'm waiting for you to come back safely, you must come back!" After that, she chased after him, hugged him from behind, and wet the white robe and armor on his back with tears, and hugged him like this for a while.

"Okay, I promise you, I'll miss you too, okay, if you don't set off, you won't be able to catch up with the army. After speaking, he turned around, glanced at Luo Rui affectionately, hugged her gently, and turned his head to leave.

Lori took one of his hands and placed a handkerchief in the palm of his hand. "Okay, this is our southern red bean, which was just picked recently, originally as a tribute to the royal court, and it has grown a little more this year. I left a few, these two for you, this is a token, when you are in the Northland, no matter how far away, when you miss your homeland, you can always think of me when you look at it, don't forget my deep affection for you. ”

"Okay, Acacia Bean. Red beans are born in the south of the country, and a few branches are produced in autumn. May you pick more, this thing is the most lovely. Go back early, it's windy in autumn, I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. With that, he mounted his horse quickly, and eagerly followed the footsteps of the army.

When Bai Yu was immersed in good memories, Lian Yun came to him, and there was hope with him, so he hurriedly took the handkerchief into his arms. And Shuyun wanted to come to visit him, so she followed them curiously, without making any sound, but quietly hid behind a big rock, secretly observing their every move.

Lian Yun spoke first: "Feng'er, do you remember the night in Tongyuan City? What I said to you, are you ready to make a decision now? If you marry Shuyun, it is not that you don't love Rui'er, but for the great cause of the empire, and it is conducive to consolidating the power of the two families, so that the old thief will be afraid." On the night you were wounded by an arrow the night ago, I wrote a letter to Rui'er, who loved you the most, explaining it in detail, and I also took all the misunderstandings she might have about you. Today we will mention this matter to you, I believe that she cares about you very much in her heart, will not oppose this marriage, and will support you to marry Shuyun. With that, he touched his beard.

After Shuyun heard Lian Yun's words, she felt that she had the opportunity to be with Yufeng, and she was secretly happy. At the same time, she was also very envious of the deep relationship between Yufeng and Luo Rui, and shed tears of emotion.

After a while, someone came to report that a guest had come to the City Lord's Mansion and was currently arranged by Wan Xing to the council room. So, several people hurried to the council hall again.

Bai Yu was walking in the City Lord's Mansion, and before he stepped into the council hall, he saw Luo He chatting with several lieutenant generals under the corridor from a distance. So, he approached quickly, and said strangely, "Didn't you hear that a guest was coming......?

Luo He said lightly: "This guest has a bad temper, I disdain to receive it, and it is currently being received by Lord Wanxing in the side hall of the council." Hopefully, he'll get him away soon......"

"Who do you disdain to receive, but you want them to receive ......" Bai Yu thought for a moment, and then realized that the person who came was most likely the enemy's messenger.

When Bai Yu stepped into the conference hall, the hope of entering the hall before him was talking to people, and he was also busy introducing people to him, this is General Bai Yu who took Baili City a few days ago.

Hearing Bai Yu's name, the man hurriedly got up and saluted: "I have seen the general, and I heard that Your Excellency took one of our cities without much effort, and I really admire it." ”

White Feather bowed his head, and when his gaze swept towards the visitor, the visitors also focused their gaze on him.

There were three visitors, and there was nothing unusual about the other two, except for a tall, dark-skinned, thin-faced man in his thirties who sat in the first seat. It's just that no one would have thought that the first person was the tall man in black who sent someone to assassinate Bai Yu that night.

After the five visitors saw Bai Yu, each of them showed a look of surprise on their faces, it was hard to imagine that it could be such a young man, who could easily take a city with only a few hundred captives.

However, these visitors were obviously not idle people, and they quickly calmed down, and the person sitting in the first seat bowed to him: "The deputy leader of the dark blue rebel army, Chief Tiger, has seen General Bai Yu, these people behind me are my subordinates, I am waiting for this trip to come on the order of our great leader Ling Tian to recruit you, before these two cities return to your hands, how our army is like a bamboo, and move forward, I must have heard of it here." Or let me put it another way, saying that the surrender is too ugly, and I hope that a few people can consider cooperating with us, holding high the banner of righteousness, and sharing the world together. ”

As for the intentions of these people, Bai Yu had guessed a few points before. Most of these visitors were people from the side of the traitors, but they didn't expect these people to be so bold and dare to come and surrender them. ...... Bai Yu thought to himself, good guy, what day is today, it seems that the defeat that I ate before has not beaten them down, and the hard ones are not soft ones, which is a bit interesting.

At this time, the deputy chieftain, the chief tiger, that is, the emaciated man who looked a little capable, said: "I came to the door today, and I took the liberty of disturbing, but now that the atrocities of the old thief have become angry, we hope that there will be more people around us who will fight side by side, and fewer opponents, so I hope you can consider our proposal......"

As soon as this chief tiger spoke, Bai Yu knew that his identity was not simple. It stands to reason that the four people who came with him should not be bad in martial arts, but they pushed him to sit on the seat, and every time he asked him to speak first, it can be measured from this point that this person is not really capable. And listening to his words, although a bit domineering, it is reasonable and well-founded, which makes it difficult for people to refute it for a while.

Wan Xing looked sideways at Bai Yu, only to see that the latter was expressionless and difficult to judge, nodded and said softly: "I still have to listen to General Bai Yu's opinion on this matter, besides, our army has recently won a big victory, and its morale is high, but you want me to surrender, and I have never heard that the official army surrendered to the thief, right?"

Bai Yu quietly returned the salute to everyone, looked at the first one in the middle, and asked calmly: "The entire dark blue is only twenty-eight cities, and you occupied five cities before, but I just moved lightly and took back one city." You only have the strength of the four cities, how can you compete with our million armored heroes. Everything depends on strength. You said you were going to persuade us to surrender, have you measured your strength?"

The Chief Tiger grinned and seemed to smile. It's just that his face is too thin and his smile is not obvious. On the contrary, it looks weird. He recalled: "Although the general has won a new victory, he probably doesn't know what our righteous army is doing, right? I heard that when the old thief Qingtao killed the king in the past, there was a prince in the royal family who was in exile, and now we are going to act under his banner." When I heard that the mountains and rivers of the past were restored, no one rejoiced, and the generals should be happy, could it be that the generals were willing to do things for the old thief and act for the tiger?"

Bai Yu looked at them and said with a wry smile: "You are really despicable, just rebel against the current emperor, and move the deceased prince out as a shield......

The chief tiger said in a flat tone: "Our actions are in line with the will of the people, and we are bound to succeed, if we want to stop us, then we can only see you on the battlefield, brothers, let's go......"

At this time, Hope couldn't help but interject: "The deputy leader's intentions, we already know, if you want to beat us, we will accompany you." After your army failed to attack the city last time and was attacked and killed by our army, I thought you would take the initiative to surrender. I never thought that it would be out of place to come to the door and shout, and now I am focusing on the old things in advance, right......"

The chief tiger narrowed his eyes, his expression was sharp, and he said coldly: "Then listen to the meaning of the city lord, you are going to fight?"

Lian Yun, who had been silent for a long time on the side, said solemnly: "The deputy leader is serious, although we haven't planned how to fight at the moment, if we want to fight, we will accompany us, and we will not send it away." ”

Chief Tiger's face turned cold, and he said: "The implication of a few people is that they don't take our rebels seriously." Good! good!

Bai Yu had already heard a strong ** smell from his words, and it was obvious that they must have heard something and planned something,......

Sure enough, at this time, the arrogant deputy leader stood up and shouted: "Well, let's open the skylight and say something, and when we come, our leader has already gathered a large army." Regardless of whether you cooperate or not, Baili City is now surrounded by our army, don't wait for us to take Baili City and regret it!"

Hope's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "What? While sending people to pretend to negotiate peace, while sending troops to besiege Baili City, you are really despicable, a bunch of bastards." ”

One of the subordinates beside the deputy leader laughed sharply: "Negotiate with you? Isn't that a tiger's mouth pulling teeth? Do you really think we are so stupid?"

The disdain in Hope's eyes flashed: "Just because you rabble also want to take a hundred miles again?"

After hearing this, the chief tiger shook his head and smiled: "Rabble, I might as well tell you, we have set up an eyeliner in the city to surround Baili City with heavy troops, and we can secretly open the city gate at any time and take down a city? Hahaha

Bai Yu was silent for a while before he said in a deep voice: "Let them go, Baili City will be defended." Although he also knew that when he said this, he had no confidence in his heart.

Hope nodded, and shot a knife-sharp gaze at the uninvited guests, as if they were about to devour them in minutes. Seeing this aura, these people couldn't help but feel furious in their hearts under this awe-like murderous aura.

"Do you all hear that? Hurry up, you have to be qualified to take the city, and you, even your leaders...... I'm afraid I don't have this qualification!" Lian Yun lost a heavy word, which was tantamount to a slap in the face on the spot, and most of the arrogance of these people just now was gone.

The four visitors stood up on the spot, their faces stiffened, and their hands subconsciously touched their waists, only then did they realize that the weapons on their bodies had been confiscated when they entered the mansion, and now, they were barehanded.

The chief tiger took a deep breath and arched his hand: "Since the generals have already expressed their attitude, we will not be able to wait for a long time, we will have a meeting later." Farewell!" the four visitors walked away with their faces darkened.

Looking at the few people who left, a few people under the porch outside entered the conference hall. Bai Yu didn't care about the people who came in, he only turned his gaze to hope and asked, "City Lord, not long ago, you fought with these people, what do you think of their strength?"

After a little thought, Hope said: "Among these rebels, in addition to some of the people and mountain bandits, plus the local armed forces, the strength is not weak, I have fought with them, most of the people who participated in the war are elite, and the weaker ones stay to defend the city." ......”

Wan Xing waved his hand: "It seems that it is imperative to gallop to help Baili, and everything still has to be spoken with strength." Let's talk about our thoughts and come up with a battle plan. ”

After a while, in the council room, everyone said a word, and after some discussion, Wan Xing read out the order in public as follows: "We are ready to reinforce Baili City, and fight with the enemy army Sanchuan City to stay in Lianyun and Luohe to defend it, and the reinforcement of Baili troops is commanded by Wan Xing, hoping to be the vanguard, and Bai Yu will follow the army to listen to the order......"

After giving the order, everyone stepped out of the council room, looked up at the gloomy and dreary sky, and sighed slightly in their hearts. Perhaps, an expected war, like the dark clouds in the sky, is heavy.
