The Siege of Fancheng Chapter 5 Glazed Cicada Jade
"The gentleman laughed......"
"Why laugh at it, although the seniors didn't enter the city lord's mansion to discuss matters, but in the past eighteen years, Fancheng has been in distress, haven't they all relied on the clever plans of the seniors to relieve the siege for the city lord An Min?" Mu Rui's tone gradually became urgent, "Today in the small court, Mr. is still silently reciting the art of war, and he must also be studying the strategy of retreating from the enemy, isn't he?"
Mu Rui said so many secrets about himself in his mouth, which surprised Lin Hai, but he also came casually, and there was no reason why he didn't come to the door to discuss and prepare in advance.
"Presumably, Mr. also knows a little bit about the old man's affairs, so he should know that no one in this Fan City can trust the old man......"
"Why not? The city lord ordered the great elder and the second elder to discuss matters in the mansion and send all things to do. And you, old man, can be arranged to be the teacher of the city lord's son Wei Song, although it is because some of the past reasons are not clear to act, but can't it show the status of the predecessors in the eyes of the city lord?"
In Wei Zong's mansion, although no one sat in that empty seat, no one in the mansion knew how irreplaceable its status was, and Wei Zong was reluctant to mention it in his heart, because he was afraid of some criticism. However, even if it was criticized, he still put Lin Hai's former seat above a few elders, no matter what others said.
"It's not that the old man is unwilling, but the old man has no choice! Fancheng is a dangerous city, and the geography is very special, the ghost king must send a shark sword to take the waterway to kill, this gentleman must know better than me. If you want to save such a dangerous city, according to the current situation, unless there are powerful reinforcements to come to the rescue, you can have a glimmer of life, otherwise how can you break the enemy?"
Lin Hai said, his eyes were shining, and his eyes showed a sad look.
"Mr. was entrusted by the Lord of Ouyang Valley to come here, what advice do you have?"
"Dare to ask the seniors, have you ever received a letter of persuasion from the Ghost King?" Mu Rui sat down again and asked unhurriedly.
"In Fancheng, all the elders in the City Lord's Mansion have received a letter from the Ghost King. But even if it was, what did the gentleman want to say, let the old man do his tricks and be a double agent? If this method really worked, even if he was certain to die, the old man would have already taken action, but the ghost king was suspicious......
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Rui stretched out his hand to stop him. Although this is not a rule that juniors should commit, he still wants to clarify his meaning: "Senior, I don't want to let my seniors go to persuade the ghost king, and my juniors also know that this is impossible, but I still hope that my seniors can listen to me." ”
Mu Ruili straightened his robe and straightened his body: "Outside the Lingnan boundary, follow the Qishan Mountain Range to the north, to Xuecheng, there is the Beilin Army to protect the city, and the entire city is impregnable. If the Beilin Army fights fiercely with the Ghost King, who do the seniors think will win?"
"If there is the Beilin Army as a reinforcement, naturally there is nothing to worry about, Xue Cheng is close to the capital of the Demon Emperor, and the reason why the Demon Emperor is not capable of taking it is due to the Beilin Army. However," Lin Hai shook his head and smiled miserably, "This Beilin Army is still thousands of miles away from Lingnan, and there are many mountain roads on the way, and if you want to get the support of the Beilin Army, you have to wait at least three months." I'm afraid that Fancheng will have already been reduced to a scorched earth by then. ”
Mu Rui didn't refute, but his expression changed, as if he was mysterious: "What if you can really rely on the Beilin Army to contain the Ghost King?"
After hearing this, Lin Hai's eyes lit up: "Could it be that Mr. Fei is an unpredictable prophet, and he invited the Beilin Army long before the Ghost King took Huicheng?"
"No, the senior thought was wrong," Mu Rui took a sip of the tea poured by the servant of the Lin Mansion, "I didn't invite the Beilin Army, and besides, I can't invite either." The Beilin Army was still in Xuecheng, and he didn't know anything about the affairs within the Lingnan boundary. ”
Lin Hai was suddenly disappointed, and looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "Mr. deceived me! Mr. deceived me! Fancheng is in danger, why do you want to make such a joke......
The distance between Xuecheng and Lingnan is almost the north and south, and it is impossible to march to the country for several months, why is he so confused, no matter how prescient people are, it is impossible to foresee the future months ago.
What is the idea of this white coat?
Suddenly, he inadvertently connected everything Mu Rui said in his mind, and a thought came to him, which shocked his heart.
"Sir...... Do you want to use such a strategy?"
Mu Rui saw that Lin Hai understood what he was thinking, smiled with relief, and sighed that it was really a generation of celebrities who had been dominant, and he gently put the teacup on the table: "Seniors don't have to make a fuss, this is a gift from me to Fancheng, and it is also a meeting gift to the people of the world." The key to this matter is to bother the seniors to help. ”
"As long as he can save the people of Fancheng, no matter what he wants to do, the old man will never complain. Mr. will be a friend of the old man in the future, and the old man will thank Mr. for Fan Cheng. Lin Hai stood up and saluted.
Mu Rui hurriedly got up and helped him up: "The seniors have made such a big gift, how can the juniors bear it? Please also ask the seniors to get up first, we still have something to discuss." ”
"The Ghost King tried to invade Fancheng, and from the waterway, we let his navy come in generously. Sir, am I right?" Lin Hai asked.
"Senpai, please sit down. Although he didn't answer directly, from Mu Rui's expression, Lin Hai had already judged that what he said was true.
Sitting down at the table again, Mu Rui personally poured tea for Lin Hai. Just as he was brushing his sleeves, he was not paying attention, and a piece of white and round jewelry between his sleeves fell on the table, making a crisp sound. However, Mu Rui only had a slightly casual look, and still poured tea for Lin Hai gently.
This ornament can't help but attract Lin Hai's attention. He picked it up for Mu Rui and couldn't help but take a closer look. Seeing that the ornament turned out to be a pearl glaze-colored jade pendant, the lines on it seemed to be a natural carving, but a branch dew cicada, he didn't say anything more, and respectfully handed it to Mu Rui.
Mu Rui took the glazed cicada jade and said rude.
"Dare to ask sir, who holds this jade pendant?" Lin Hai gently picked up the teacup, as if asking casually.
"This glazed cicada jade?"
"Yes. ”
"It turns out that the seniors are interested in my jade pendant. Could it be that the seniors had seen it before?" asked Mu Rui.
"No," Lin Hai replied, "It's just that this jade pendant is hung with gold strings, and it is a little old and a little curious." I think this is also something that the original owner wears from time to time, and the jade pendant is not easy to leave, but how can it be given to Mr.
Lin Hai thought to himself, such a precious treasure jade, Mu Rui did not wear it, but put it in his sleeve, which was probably a gift from others. Baoyu wears it for a long time, and it will be spiritually recognized, and it cannot be used against other people's blood, which may be the reason why Mu Rui refuses to wear it but puts it in his sleeve.
"It was given by my senior brother. I don't know why, I don't have anything to say. Mu Rui replied.
He continued: "I hope that the old gentleman will act tomorrow and write a letter to describe the disadvantages of defending Fancheng, and analyze in detail the advantages of the waterway battle against the ghost king, so that the ghost king will be convinced that the water battle will be won, and wave his army south to attack Fancheng." Then, in the next place, the strategy can be implemented to keep Fancheng. ”
The old man knew in his heart. Sir, please rest assured, the old man will be thoughtful in this matter. Lin Hai said, and the words of commitment were a little heavier.
"With the commitment of the old-timers, I will be relieved. The letter was also read by the seniors, and it was burned after completion. The safety of Fancheng does not lie in one or two people, but as long as there is still a little bit of help for the common people in the world, it is naturally just after death. The late students also want to thank their predecessors for this matter, and their enthusiasm is not cold. Mu Rui handed over the letter.
"Please also ask the gentleman to convey it to the owner of the jade pendant, and say that the old man has thanked him for the world!" Lin Hai took the letter, raised his glass and drank the tea, and saw the bottom in the cup.
This sentence did not make Mu Rui feel that he had to say anything more, he bowed down, said goodbye, and disappeared into the night.
