After setting a route with Wu Hongtian, he returned to Zifeng's car.

Zifeng saw Qingfeng approaching, and hurriedly picked up the map in his hand to greet him.

"Look, is this map wrong? Why is Cangyun City drawn in the Cangyun River? There are floating beaches?"

Qingfeng Lan pointed to the Cangyun River on the map: "In the past, Cangyun City was not in the Cangyun River, and in the past, the Cangyun River was farther east than now, and Cangyun City was on the side of the Cangyun River." Cangyun City was not a city at the beginning, but a fortress, built near the river, used to resist and warn use, and later because of the floods for many years, the Cangyun River was also diverted into two rivers, but then the river gradually converged, although the embankment was specially repaired, but the annual maintenance cost was huge, the empire abandoned the city, and built another Wangyun City on the east bank of the river. The meaning of Wangyun City is to look at the clouds. After a few years, all of a sudden, a large number of people appeared in Cangyun City, these people spontaneously built river embankments, and gradually became a big city, because the geographical advantages of this city are very good, so the empire has also invested a lot of troops, and now Cangyun City is called the most difficult city in the empire to conquer. ”

"The hardest to overcome? ”

Qingfeng Lan touched Zifeng's head: "Because it is the most difficult to overcome, we don't plan to go directly to recover Cangyun City, we are going to the Vast City located in the north now." ”

Zifeng carefully searched the map and pointed to the Wasted City: "Why are we going here?"

Qingfeng Lan pointed to the map and explained: "The defenders of Cangyun City are about eight thousand, and they are all equipped with strong bows and crossbows, if you want to capture Cangyun City, it is not just talking, although we have 30,000 troops in our hands, but I am afraid that we will not be able to storm Cangyun City." ”

"Then how did the Deep True Kingdom capture Cangyun City?"

"I guess that Shenzhen didn't capture Cangyun either, I think they just set up a cordon somewhere where Cangyun and the imperial capital were only seen, cutting off the connection between the imperial capital and Cangyun, and then forged a fake military report that Cangyun had been conquered, and when we got to Cangyun, we would be ambushed. ”

Zifeng looked at the map and carefully checked the map: "There are several roads from the imperial capital to Cangyun, are they all ambushed?"

Qingfeng Lan looked at Zifeng in surprise: "You know all this?"

Zifeng raised her head proudly: "Anyway, I also learned some things from Fourteen, and I can barely understand the military map." ”

"Yes, yes, it seems that Fourteen is much better than my teacher. ”

"It's different, you are my enlightenment teacher, and fourteen is my military enlightenment teacher. ”

"Okay, even if you get mixed up, since you can see it, let me ask you a question, there are many ways to go from the imperial capital to Cangyun, so how can the enemy prepare to ambush us in advance?"

Zifeng looked at the map in his hand, then looked at the person next to him, and frowned: "We are in the army... ”

Qingfeng Lan was surprised again: "Fourteen also taught you these tricks of strategy?"

Zifeng stuck out his tongue: "Fourteen didn't teach me, but I have a library building, I remember it seems to be on the fourth floor, it's all this kind of deceitful books, it's so difficult to understand, but after consulting some people from Taisi, I understand it." ”

Hearing that Zifeng still had a book that he couldn't read, Qingfeng Lan felt a little happy in his heart, and the whole person was refreshed.

"Cangyun City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, joining the Lock City has really been breached, so where will they go if there are so many enemy troops?"

Zifeng lowered her head and looked on the map, pointing to Liaoyuan City: "Here!"

"That's right, it's Liaoyuan City, Liaoyuan City is built on a flat land, there are no mountains and rivers around it as a support, compared to Cangyun, this place is easier to capture, and Liaoyuan is much closer to the lock domain than Cangyun, if it were you, you want to exchange the chips in your hand for some resources, would you go far and far to capture a city that is almost impossible to capture?"

Zifeng nodded: "I understand, we will go to the Desolate City now, and then send someone to Liaoyuan City to find out the truth and reality, if Liaoyuan City is not conquered, we will advance to Liaoyuan City, and then turn to attack Lock Domain City, so that even if Cangyun City is really conquered, it will also belong to a dead city, surrounded for ten days and half a month, without food and water, and it will be self-defeating." ”

Qingfeng looked at Zifeng in surprise: "How many military books have you read? ”

Zifeng looked at Qingfeng Lan with an ignorant expression: "I haven't seen much, I've only watched it for a month." ”

Just when Qingfeng Lan was confused, Qixing couldn't stand it: "Hey, don't ask, the ninth princess read all the historical documents in a month, and then spent half a month reading all the messy miscellaneous books in a hundred years, although these books about strategy are a little slower, but they have been read in more than 20 days, don't ask her why she is so fast, because she will say that everyone should be like this." ”

After reading the book he had read in the past five years for more than 20 days, Qingfeng Lan suddenly felt a little dizzy in his head, and sat on the ground with the carriage on the side.

Qixing glanced at Qingfeng: "Hey, you're still too young, it's good to be hit a few more times, just get used to it." ”

After saying that, he looked like an old man and stood aside and looked up at the sky.

Qingfeng Lan looked at Qixing's appearance, and suddenly felt sympathy.

Just when the two were making a fuss, Wu Hongtian ran over.

Seeing that Qingfeng Lan and Zifeng were fighting, they stopped from afar.

Qingfeng Lan waved his hand after seeing Wu Hongtian, signaling that he could come over.

"Benefactor, something has happened, our grain and grass are gone, and all the grain and grass have turned to stone. ”

Zifeng: "Ah? turned into stone? Is it a mistake? Now go back to the imperial capital and apply again." ”

Qingfeng Lan patted Wu Hongtian on the shoulder: "It's okay, I expected it a long time ago, I think you shouldn't know this news." ”

Wu Hongtian nodded: "The officer in charge of all our grain and grass is dead. ”

"Dead? Who killed it?"

"Back to the ninth princess, she committed suicide by taking poison. ”

"Why take poison?"

Qingfeng Lan gently patted Zifeng's shoulder: "These things are expected, there are many people in the city behind us who want you to be deflated, and there are also many people who want to see you laugh, if you go back to the imperial capital now to reapply for grain and grass, I'm afraid you won't give it." Now the only way is to move forward, and in wartime, the army can collect grain from the local people, and write IOUs, and when the war is over, the generals who have allowed the grain to collect will claim the money and return it to the people. ”

Wu Hongtian listened to the order. ”

"The subordinates are here. ”

"Ordered the army to march northward, about half a day's journey to a village, where to collect grain on the spot, according to the imperial system, not to collect more than half of the production. ”

"The subordinates receive the order. Wu Hongtian clasped his fists and saluted, and then turned around to arrange the opening of the matter.

Zi Feng looked at the high city wall behind him: "I haven't done anything since I came to the imperial capital, why do they want to target me?

Gently patted Zifeng's shoulder: "Don't be sad, some people won't think that you are harmless to him and will let you go, but will take out their energy to deal with you." Also, it's not that you have a phoenix spirit, but because you're the ninth princess, because your surname is Mingyue. ”

Zifeng turned her head and looked at Qingfeng with tears in her eyes: "I don't want to be an enemy of anyone, and I don't want any supreme position, I just want to find out the cause of my mother's death, and then leave here." ”

"The children of the emperor's family, it's not like you can do whatever you want, after coming to the imperial capital, I also heard about you riding quickly, are those people wrong? Yes, they are only doing this for the sake of life and survival, and when you enter the whirlpool of the imperial capital, everything is up to you. ”

Zifeng glanced at the walls of the imperial capital again: "Let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage, and Qingfeng Lan looked at the carriage and couldn't help sighing.

Although the royal family has all the money in the world, and all the best things belong to the royal family, how envious should the children of the royal family be that they do not have to worry about the family property in the dirt? In life, everyone has difficulties, and your difficulties are useless in the eyes of others, but there is still no difficulty in the eyes of others.

"Take care of Zifeng, I'll go find General Wu. With that, he walked forward.

Qingfeng Lan didn't want to stay here, because Zifeng was sad, there was always a feeling of unusually uncomfortable in this neighborhood, and the sadness in his heart was difficult to hide.

Walking towards the depths of the woods, he saw Wu Hongtian directing the soldier to pull out.

"How's it going?"

"Benefactor, we can leave in a moment, but I noticed something. ”

"What?"

Wu Hongtian pulled Qingfeng Lan to a place where no one was: "I found that many people began to have a very bad mood, it should be the so-called people hiding in the army." ”

Qingfeng Lan glanced back at the soldiers who were packing up their things: "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll go and find out these people, and you can handle military affairs normally." ”

Wu Hongtian nodded.

Looking at the team that had been packed, Wu Hongtian gave an order, and the army of 30,000 people set off towards the northern town.

Qingfeng Lan returned to Zifeng's carriage and glanced at Qixing lying on the roof of the car: "Come down, I'll give you a task, just let me see how your cultivation is lately." ”

When Qixing heard that he was going to be assessed, his body couldn't help shaking, but he still obediently jumped out of the car.

Qingfeng Lan pulled Qixing aside: "Now there are a few people in the army who are spreading rumors, and this assessment task is to make these people disappear without knowing it, remember, there must be no smell of blood." ”

Qixing glanced at the team: "Thirty thousand people, so many pairs of eyes, I still have to find them, and then I have to kill them unconsciously, and I can't see blood, isn't it too difficult?"

"This time the main test is your all-round ability, if you do a good job, I will lend you the Grip of Thor for an hour, as for whether you can control it, it's up to you. ”

After hearing Thor's grip, Qixing's eyes flashed: "Really?"

"When did I lie to you? ”

"Okay. After saying that, he disappeared in an instant.

Suddenly empty in front of him, Qingfeng Lan rolled his eyes, and then walked towards Zifeng's carriage.

Catching up with Zifeng's carriage, Wang Qianyun walked over: "Mr. Qingfeng, I don't think something is right. ”

Qingfeng Lan looked around left and right: "You protect the Ninth Princess, and I'll take care of the rest." ”

After taking a look, Qingfeng Lan hurriedly ran forward, and caught up with Wu Hongtian in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Qingfeng Lan coming over, Wu Hongtian hurriedly stopped: "Benefactor, what's wrong?"

"After leaving the city, did you count the number of people?"

"The number of people? I haven't ordered it, but it's a full 30,000 in the military field, what's wrong?"

"Inform everyone, after leaving the woods, start to order troops, not only mixed with some impurities that are not in the stream, but also a few masters. ”

"Master?"

"Yes, master, they have set up a lot of techniques in the woods, if Wang Qianyun hadn't found out, I wouldn't have noticed. ”

Wu Hongtian glanced back and nodded: "When I get out of the woods, I will re-order the troops." ”

Qingfeng nodded, turned around and ran towards Zifeng's carriage, although these techniques were not lethal techniques, but in case there was a lethal technique mixed in, with Zifeng's reaction, there was no chance to open the technique stone at all.

As soon as he ran back to the carriage, Qixing ran over: "Boss, I found out something, there are many masters in the army. ”

"Hey, Lan Yun arranged for some people to come in, saying that they were to protect Zifeng, but now that others have also sent a lot of masters in, it will be unclear at once, I asked General Wu to re-order the troops, I hope I can gain something, except for the task just now, you are helping me pay more attention to those masters, if they have any changes, especially against Zifeng, kill them directly." ”

Seven Stars nodded, turned around and kicked, and a long sword appeared at his feet.

The army moved forward slowly, and as soon as Zifeng's carriage came out of the woods, Wu Hongtian began to order his subordinates to start ordering troops, it didn't matter, only to find that there were more than a thousand people, looking at the more than a thousand people standing together, the corners of Qingfeng's mouth couldn't help twitching, this group of princes is really powerful, there are more than 1,000 people hiding in the army, it seems that these people are normal soldiers, they should just have received some tasks, so they mixed in, and they are ready to do something.

Wu Hongtian looked at the thousand people, and then at Qing Fenglan, only to see that Qing Fenglan's face was full of helplessness.

"Everyone is from the empire, and there is no deep hatred, you all go back, don't follow us. Wu Shuo sat in a car without a shed and shouted at the thousand people.

After saying that, Wu Shuo waved his hand, and the army moved forward slowly again.

Qing Feng Lan took a general look at the thousand people, and found that there was no blood-looking person among them, and Lan Yun's people were still in the army. But it's normal, Lan Yundian's soldiers, if his people are found out, I'm afraid he really won't have the face to see people.

The carriage walked to the side of a thousand people, Qingfeng Lan didn't even look at it, there were masters among them, but it was not enough to make himself do it, Wang Qianyun, Wang Qianyun had already been prepared, there was a person who was moving around, and let them understand what was going on in minutes.

The army continued to move forward, and the imperial capital behind it gradually disappeared from sight.
