When Xia Guo's army arrived in Liuyun City, Nantang didn't know about it for the first time. In other words, before he knew about it, Han Zhao had already done it for him in advance. This makes Nantang feel that she is always in a state of being informed.

Ao Xian was very happy after seeing Han Zhao, and then under the introduction of Han Zhao, Ao Xian met Nantang and discussed with Nantang about the next arrangements for Liuyun City. Before meeting Nantang, Han Zhao told Ao Xian Nantang many things in advance.

During this period of time, getting along with Nantang made Han Zhao feel that Nantang was always hiding something from him. Nantang didn't plan to tell him, and Han Zhao didn't want to break the matter.

Han Zhao hopes that Nantang can face the next battle of Liuyun City with Ao Xian. The current Nantang makes him unable to see through. He didn't know if Nantang had prepared in advance for the next battle.

Han Zhao, who has always been indifferent, showed some enthusiasm after reuniting with Ao Xin, and these enthusiasm made Ao Xin feel a little surprised. However, when Han Zhao explained it to him, Ao Xian also understood Han Zhao's concerns.

Since he was in the military camp of the Xia State and learned that the Xia State and the Mo State had temporarily formed an alliance, Han Zhao trusted Ao Xian much more than before. Originally, the Wind Tiger Rider, who was supposed to follow Han Zhao into Liuyun City, had already stepped into Liuyun City with Ao Xian at this time.

Previously, there had been a confrontation between Tianwu Kingdom and Xia Kingdom in advance, but after learning the total number of troops that Xia Kingdom had stationed in Liuyun City at this moment, Nantang, as the lord of Liuyun City, concluded that those losses would not affect the performance of Xia Kingdom in the next battle of Liuyun City. And this directly determines how much information Nantang will share with Ao Xin.

During this time, Xuanmo Wufeng has been recuperating. It may be due to the relatively large movement of the Xia Kingdom, so Xuanmo Wufeng knew about this matter as soon as they entered the city. At that time, Xuan Mo Wufeng also came to the street to watch this scene.

Knowing that Xia Guo decided to participate in the next battle of Liuyun City, Nantang and Xuanmo Wufeng both thought that Xia Guo had sent the legendary Chongying Ghost Tiger as the mount of Ao Xian, the prince of Xia Kingdom. As a result, they did not see the Ghost Tiger, but instead saw the Ghost Tiger Rider mixed with the blood of the Ghost Tiger.

In a sense, the existence of the Ghost Tiger Rider refreshed Xuanmo Wufeng's cognition of this strange creature in the world. The ghost tiger riders of the Xia Kingdom rode a group of black tigers in black armor.

These black tigers will flicker blue flames in their eyes when they are furious. It is said that when the ghost tiger rode flashed with blue flames, it was the moment when the fear of death enveloped the enemy.

When Nantang and Ao Xian met, Han Zhao was taking several important generals of the Wind Tiger Rider and the Ghost Tiger Rider to inspect the city fortifications in Liuyun City and some of the arrangements that Nantang had already revealed to him.

Han Zhao's departure was not the instruction of Nantang or Ao Xin. He left only so that the two could communicate better and open up to the exchange of important information. Of course, these are just one of Han Zhao's hopes.

The success or failure of the battle of Liuyun City is related to the next place that Mexico can have a foothold in Jibei. As long as Liuyun City is defended in the first battle of the Mo Kingdom, then they only need to hold out until the spring of the next year, when the frost and snow reced, and the fire of Dian Star City is extinguished. At that time, these family affairs in Jibei will turn into a new beginning for the countries of Dongji and Xiji to clash again.

When the time comes, Han Zhao will personally lead his troops to the northern part of the Juelong Mountain Range, block the last retreat of the Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Tianwu Kingdom, and strive to make Jibei their burial place. Of course, these beautiful plans are mainly based on the premise that Liuyun City is successfully defended.

However, the first meeting between Nantang and Ao Xian did not say anything useful or important. After an awkward but polite conversation, the two tested each other a few more words. In the end, Nantang led Ao Xian to the accommodation he had arranged for the important generals of the Xia Kingdom, but Ao Xian refused.

That's right, Ao Xian refused.

Although the whole process of Nantang and Ao Xian's meeting was not about anything serious, Ao Xian inferred from Nantang's reaction and words that if he stayed in Liuyun City in the future, Nantang would try to compete with him for the main right to speak.

Although Nantang is the city lord of Liuyun City, Ao Xian does not intend to hand over the right to speak in the next battle, or the right to command, to this "ally" who is "wary of him everywhere". The Xia soldiers in the city are Ao Xian's swords and swords, and it is impossible for Ao Xian to turn them into pawns or victims of political games.

Ao Xian didn't mind discussing with Nantang about the next battle, what plans Xia Guo had. But the premise is that Nantang, as the current main person in charge of Mexico, can actively cooperate with them.

And now Nantang doesn't want to talk to Ao Xian about this when they first meet. Although Nantang knew that time was running out for them. In this regard, Ao Xian thinks that Nantang is a waste of time and can't distinguish the current situation. Therefore, Ao Xian didn't plan to talk to Nantang about anything too deep.

In short, the first meeting between His Royal Highness the Prince of Xia and the Flowing Cloud City Lord of the Mo Kingdom was in an awkward but polite conversation, and they broke up unhappily.

Nantang, who wanted to know more about Ao Xian, the son of the Xia Kingdom, also got what he wanted, and through the next actions of Ao Xian, he learned what his character was.

Although it was a happy parting in the end, they also had their own gains. However, Ao Xian did not take Ao Ye with him to camp outside the city. As the elder brother, Ao Xian knew how dangerous the next battle of Liuyun City would be, and he didn't want his younger brother Ao Ye to gamble his life with him.

When Ao Ye learned about this, he definitely expressed his dissatisfaction. However, Ao Xian finally persuaded Ao Ye and left an important task to Ao Ye. Although Ao Ye always felt that this was an excuse for Ao Xin not to let him go to the front line to get into danger, Ao Ye did not make this matter clear on the spot.

After that, Ao Xian took the main forces of the Xia Kingdom that followed him out of Cloud City and stationed them outside the city. As a result, the Shuguo military camp, which had long been stationed outside Liuyun City, was also discovered by Ao Xian in the process.

Maybe it was because the wind and snow were too heavy when he entered Cloud City, or maybe it was because Gu Yina taught Xin Zaima to set up camp, which was more "unique", so in the end, Ao Xian didn't find out about this thing that made him think about it in the first place.

It was a mistake he shouldn't have made. This was even more humiliating than when he was attacked by the Heavenly Martial Kingdom at night. In fact, it's not that Ao Xian is not cautious enough, but that Gu Yina is too clever. Originally, the method and location she gave to Sinzaima actually included how to hide her traces, but Gu Yina did not point out to Sinzaima, and Mongo, who had seen through the mysteries, focused on the relevant movements of Liuyun City. This also invisibly made Ao Xin raise his vigilance against the country.

After Ao Xian left, Nantang quickly arranged Ao Ye's food, clothing, housing and transportation. At this time, Nantang didn't know what kind of secret mission Ao Xian, the prince of Xia Kingdom, who left Liuyun City to be stationed outside the city, to his younger brother.

In Nantang's eyes, Ao Xian's doing so was equivalent to putting his chips in his hands, and taking the initiative to fight outside the city to resist the enemy. "Full of sincerity" made Nantang have to start cooperating with Ao Xin, and carefully adjust the military layout he had originally arranged, and then adapt to the pace of the Xia State military formation.

Of course, these things will definitely not be done by Nantang himself. As the confidant and strategist of the Liuyun City Lord, Ye Chen would quietly arrange all this. At that time, Ao Xian may still think that Nantang has actually counted his actions. In fact, temporary scheduling is completely timely for Nantang.

In the eyes of others, the arrogance of Xia Guo and the respect of Mo Guo do not need any cover-up. It can be said that it not only takes into account Xia Guo's face, but also allows Nantang to create a step that belongs to him, so that he can adjust in time according to the changes in the current situation at any time.

Nantang will not become what Ao Xian needs, but he will definitely become the key to helping Ao Xian realize his intentions. If it weren't for the unhappy parting of the first meeting, maybe one day they could become confidants.

But then again, the sympathy built on an alliance of interests is sometimes a bit of fun. Sometimes they are unhappy with each other, but they also know that the other party may understand them better.

It may be a friend, it may be an enemy, and it is based on interests, all of which have a lot of uncertainties. As a result, it was this uncertainty that finally created the scene when Ao Xin and Nantang first met.

......

After escaping from death, Qiu Ning wandered in the heavy snow with the Mu sisters. At first, they didn't plan to return to Cloud City, but what Qiu Ning didn't expect was that Ye Chen, who had followed Nantang before, had prepared the carriage early as if he had predicted in advance which way he would take the sisters, and then waited on the road they would inevitably pass.

After seeing the embarrassed Qiu Ning and the others, Ye Chen didn't say a word. The accompanying guards with knives cut off the path of the three in silence. In fact, at this time, Qiu Ning and the Mu family sisters were fully capable of killing all these people present, and then drove the carriage away.

However, in the end, they did not do this, but under Ye Chen's "invitation", they reluctantly got into the carriage. The reason why Ye Chen was able to deter these three people was not really because Ye Chen had any special means.

To put it bluntly, all of this was a prediction made by Ye Chen in advance. It's just that when Nantang made this prediction at that time, he wasn't sure who Ye Chen was waiting for, or whether it was a living person or a dead person. When he saw the carriage, Qiu Ning was also very surprised. At first, he thought that this carriage was prepared by Nantang, and it was specially designed to wait for him, but then he thought about it, in fact, this carriage, these people, were just waiting for a news.
