In Ningxiao City, in the palace of King Wei.

Xiao Mu led Sun Daren and the others to hurriedly pass through the palace gates in the Wei Palace, when he pushed open the doors of the main hall.

Xu Yunian, the son of the Xu family, was standing in the main hall, and at this moment he no longer had the brightly dressed appearance of the past, but was in rags, gray-headed, and had a knife wound on the right cheek, although it had scabbed, but his appearance was extremely hideous.

He seemed to have hurried back from somewhere, his face full of eagerness and exhaustion.

"What the hell is going on?" Xiao Mu couldn't help frowning when he looked at Xu Yunian's appearance and asked, as the news of Da Chu's attack spread, everyone in the northern border was now in danger.

And Ningzhou also received news that Mangzhou, Yanting and Ghost Rong have been in close contact in recent days, and Xiao Mu had to let Yue Pingqiu, who was stationed in Yuxue City, assign men and horses to garrison Manhong Pass to resist the attack that Ghost Rong and Mangzhou might launch at any time.

And the commander of the Zixiao Army, Xu Yuanzhen, and Xu Yunian's father and son were the people who were responsible for sending them to garrison, and at this moment, Xu Yunian suddenly returned, and the description was so embarrassing, which really made everyone present feel cold.

Xu Yunian also saw Xiao Mu and the others at this time, his eyes were red, and he walked directly to Xiao Mu and the others, and knelt down with a plop.

"Commander Xiao, save my father, save my father!"

Xu Yunian's voice was obviously crying, which made everyone feel sour in their hearts.

"What the hell is going on! You have to explain it first, so we can help Commander Xu!" Xiao Mu hurriedly lifted Xu Yunian up from the ground and said so.

Xu Yunian was obviously a little flustered, and only then did he come to his senses when he heard Xiao Mu's words, he hurriedly took a few deep breaths to calm down the emotions surging in his heart, and then said: "Manzhou ganged up with the ghosts, and the 500,000 army attacked Manhong Pass three days ago. My father and I were besieged in the pass, although the soldiers swore to resist to the death, but those ghost army was too fierce, and there were strong people in the Holy Realm plundering the battle, and they were finally invincible, and my father fought desperately to kill a bloody way for me, so I escaped back......"

"But now my father is still in prison, please send troops to rescue Manhong Pass as soon as possible!" Xu Yunian said this, and on the cheeks that had just calmed down, his eyes turned red again.

Although Xiao Mu vaguely guessed the whole story after seeing Xu Yunian's appearance from the beginning, he still couldn't help but sink in his heart when he heard the other party's words.

"Manhong Pass and Jade Snow City are only a few hundred miles away, and there are Sanxiao Army garrisons, since the Ghost Rong army is coming, why don't you go there to ask for help?" Ji Huanxi on the side suddenly stepped forward and asked.

When Xu Yunian heard this, he looked at Ji Huanxi, and couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked, "King Wei is back?"

He remembered that when Wei Lai left Ningxiao City, Ji Huanxi and Sun Daren were with him, and at this moment, Sun Daren and Ji Huanxi were in the crowd, whether that meant Wei Lai and returning to Ningzhou.

For everyone, I don't know when Wei Lai has become the backbone of the entire Ningzhou, especially in the face of such a major event, with Wei Lai here, Xu Yunian will secretly feel that his father's chance of life is much greater.

"Ah Lai still has some things to do, and he hasn't returned with us, but you can tell me what's going on, why don't you go to Jade Snow City to ask for help?"

Xu Yunian's face darkened when he heard this, but he hurriedly said: "At the beginning, after the army attacked, my father sent scouts to Yuxue City for help, but the other party had a team of soldiers and horses who didn't know when and how to touch the back of the Manhong Pass, so that we were exposed to the enemy, and it was difficult for the scouts sent to break out of the encirclement

If I don't let go, I can't rush to Jade Snow City, so I can only turn here to ask for help. ”

"What about the beacon?"

"The three beacon towers used for transmitting messages and the two spare ones were all destroyed by the Saint Realm powerhouse......" Xu Yunian lowered his head and said a little lonely.

Hearing this, Xiao Mu nodded, but his brows furrowed at that time.

The news obtained from Xu Yunian's mouth, the other party first went around the back of Manhong Pass, and at the same time destroyed the beacon tower, the goal is extremely clear, obviously want to quickly win the natural danger between Ningzhou and Manzhou in the shortest possible time, and at the same time cut off the connection between Manhong Pass and Ningzhou. If everything goes well, it is impossible to say that Ningzhou can be caught off guard, if Yan Ting sends troops from the border pass at this time, under the left and right attacks, Ningzhou is in danger!

Thinking about it this way, at such a critical juncture, Xu Trap was able to make a decision to let Xu Yunian out of the encirclement at any cost, although he may have hidden some selfishness, but the same news is also extremely important to Ningzhou, even if it is about the survival of the crisis.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu's face was also a little ugly.

He took a deep look at Xu Yunian, and after a pause, he said: "Yu Nian, you have a good rest, and leave the rest to us, don't worry, if there is a possibility, Xiao will definitely rescue Commander Xu!"

When Xu Yunian heard this, the heart that had been hanging since he escaped from the Manhong Pass was finally put down slightly, his head tilted, and he fell straight to the ground at that time.

Fortunately, Xiao Mu had already seen Xu Yunian's fatigue, and stretched out his hand at the first time, caught the other party's fallen body, and then handed it to the armor next to him, telling them to take good care of Xu Yunian.

"Old Xiao, what are you waiting for! Hurry up and send troops, my Sun Daren will take the lead for you, and I will definitely kill those barbarians without leaving a piece of armor!" And Xu Yunian's body was carried down by the armor soldiers, and Sun Daren was the first to step forward and look at Xiao Mu and said loudly.

When Xiao Mu heard this, he lowered his head with a frown, and did not respond to Sun Daren.

Although Sun Daren is anxious for justice and righteousness, he has followed Wei Lai over the years, although his temperament has not changed greatly, his head is much more lively than before. He sniffed out some smell from Xiao Mu's strange appearance, and his face suddenly changed, and his voice became much louder. He looked at the other party incredulously and said, "What do you mean? Old Xiao, you don't want to save it?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't. Without waiting for Xiao Mu to respond, Ji Huanxi on the side stepped forward and said so.

"What do you mean?" Sun Daren wondered.

"The 100,000 troops that Ningzhou has snatched from Manzhou are now in the hands of Ah Cheng, stationed on the border between Ningzhou and Yanting, and the remaining Sanxiao army is in the hands of Yue Pingqiu. There are only less than 50,000 troops in Ningxiao City who were newly recruited by Ah Lai to be crowned Queen Wei, and a large part of them may not be able to form combat power. ”

"First of all, the army in Ah Cheng's hands must not be used, once the 100,000 army goes sideways, Yan Ting will inevitably march eastward and take Ningxiao City directly. ”

"And although the army in Jade Snow City can travel, since the other party has already calculated like this, they should also know that their actions can only temporarily delay Jade Snow City's receipt of the news of the attack on Manhong Pass. And this time was enough for them to prepare for the reinforcements that came from Jade Snow City. ”

If you put it in the past, with Sun Daren's temperament, it is estimated that he has already jumped like thunder at this moment, scolding the insidious cunning of the ghost.

But now he has somewhat learned how to restrain himself, and after hearing this, his face sank, and he looked at Xiao Mu and Ji Huan and said, "Then we won't save it?"

He asked, his fists clenched, obviously difficult to accept.

And everyone present also heard these words at this time

There was silence one after another, and the silence in the entire hall of the Wei Wangfu was almost suffocating.

"Nope. ”

But at this moment, Xiao Mu's voice suddenly sounded.

Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, but they saw that the young commander of the Xiao family had a terrifying brow at the moment, his fists were also clenched, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were flarging.

"Save. ”

"Ningzhou will never give up on any of his compatriots. ”

Saying this, the light in Xiao Mu's eyes suddenly brightened, and he turned his head to look at Sun Daren and said, "Daren, you will prepare your horse and rush to Jade Snow City to relay the news we have obtained here to Commander Yue, and at the same time tell him our speculation, I believe that with his experience in using troops, he will definitely think of a way to deal with the current situation." After saying this, Xiao Muyou looked at Xiao Meng on the side and said, "Xiao Meng! you quickly go to rectify the soldiers and horses, and I will personally lead the troops and go to Manhong Pass!"

"Xiao wants to see how hot the Ghost Rong's Saint Realm powerhouse is!"

As soon as these words came out, the dull hall suddenly became hot, everyone's eyes shone brightly, and the flame in their hearts rose—this was their Ningzhou.

What trade-offs between pros and cons, what to seek good fortune and avoid evil, are all bullshit.

There has always been only one road in Ningzhou.

Ningzhou will never live up to people!

......

Happiness, or opportunity.

For Ji Huanxi, all this came too suddenly.

Manhong Pass was attacked by Ghost Rong, and Xiao Mu made a "stupid" decision that Ji Huanxi never thought of.

She didn't understand how Xiao Mu's intelligence could make a mistake in such a big matter, but she also somewhat understood why such a stupid decision was supported by everyone in Ningzhou.

And when everyone performed their duties under Xiao Mu's deployment and was ready to rush to Manhong Pass, Ji Huanxi, as the only "smart person" in the entire Ningxiao City, was granted by Xiao Mu to temporarily take over Ningzhou.

It can be seen that Xiao Mu is very relieved of her, just like Wei Lai is very relieved of her.

Now she can almost be regarded as holding military and political power, as long as she is willing, she can use the emergency of Manhong Pass as an excuse at any time, let Ah Cheng, who is stationed at the junction of Ningzhou and Yanting, rush to Manhong Pass with a large army, and then inform Niangniang that in a few days, the Yanting army can drive straight into Ningzhou.

If it was placed before this trip to Da Chu, Ji Huanxi would definitely do it without hesitation, but now Ji Huanxi is sitting alone in the main hall of King Wei's mansion, with a big seal belonging to King Wei next to her, holding in her hand the golden pill that can talk to Niangniang once crushed, her expression is in a trance, her brows are tightly locked, and she is hesitant in her heart.

I couldn't help but flash those illusions and all kinds of getting along with Wei Lai in my mind.

Was Niang Niang lying to her, or did Wei Lai use some illusion to stir her mind?

This question, which had plagued Ji Huanxi for a long time, came to Ji Huanxi's heart again, and she became more and more confused, and she became more and more confused, and she didn't know how to deal with herself.

I don't know if this emotion was sensed by Jin Yun'er who was far away in Longxiang Palace, or if it was just a coincidence, suddenly the Jin Dan in her hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light. Ji Huanxi was illuminated by that light, a spirit, and finally came back to his senses at that time, and the figure of a bewitching woman in front of him slowly emerged.

". Ji Huanxi saw the figure clearly, she hurriedly lowered her head and said respectfully to the other party.

The woman looked at her head condescendingly, her face was grim, and after a long time, she said, "Rejoice......"

"Mother is very disappointed in you......"
