Chapter 50: The Peaks and Loops

Kiyokage hurriedly read the letter and nodded. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What's going on?" Nangong Ao asked on the side.

Qing Ying pursed the corners of her mouth and relayed the contents of the letter to him and Nian Baiyu, "Senior brother, they have already taken the towns along the road from the side of Jiaguan City, but if they want to join us in Nancheng, they must pass through the mouth of the river gorge, so it will take some more time." ”

"Jiangxiakou?" Nangong Ao opened his mouth, and finally knew why the two of them looked serious after reading it.

There is a group of bandits entrenched in the area of this river gorge all year round, and it is said that these people are very fierce, and the few people led by them are also famous villains on the official list, and all of them are well-known masters who do not want to die!

Due to the seriousness of this piece of banditry, the Liuyu Imperial Court sent people to suppress the bandits all the year round, but almost all of them were defeated, precisely because of the easy to defend and difficult to attack terrain at the mouth of the river gorge!

It is also because the Liuyu Mansion is unhappy with them from time to time, which causes this group of bandits to be very disgusted with the government. If Huangfu Cen and the others wanted to go south from the river gorge to join them, they would definitely have to take the mouth of the river gorge first. To pass directly, this is probably unlikely.

If you take a detour, it's not impossible, but the army of 50,000 will all bypass the mouth of the river gorge to the vicinity of Nancheng, I'm afraid it will be a month later!

Moreover, if they take a detour, they will enter others, which are not in their sphere of influence for the time being, so it is inevitable that they will still have to fight, and the variables are even greater!

Unexpectedly, when it came to the door, there was such an obstacle! However, maybe Qingying already knew about it, so they specially attacked Nancheng, right?

Nangong Ao thought about it, glanced at the map on the table, the terrain of the mouth of the river gorge is dangerous, if they can occupy it, after they stabilize the south, with Shuicheng as the rear, this mouth of the river gorge can be used as a joint point for defense.

"It seems that King Qin, it is not so easy for them to go south." Nian Baiyu sighed.

Qingying smiled, "It's okay, anyway, this river gorge mouth will have to be beaten down sooner or later!" Otherwise, every time you march, you have to take a detour, so where is it? ”

"Hmmm! Qingying is right, even if King Qin's side does not pass through the mouth of the river gorge, it will be more than enough to take Nancheng with our troops alone. It's just that if they come, we will be more numerous and more powerful. Nangong Mao paused as he spoke, "What's more, the question now is not how many people we have to use to besiege the city, but ......"

Qingying heard that he didn't speak, and saw that the three of them were all looking at him, so he only pursed the corners of his mouth, "Isn't there any news from Ziyou?" ”

Nangong Ao shook his head, "I said that I can't find a way to sneak into it for the time being." ”

Qingying bowed silently, "It's okay, don't worry, we can always think of a way!" ”

This southern city is actually not difficult to take. Although the defenders of the city have been rooted in the southern city for many years and know the southern city very well, the terrain near the southern city is not dangerous, and it is basically a lonely city surrounded by open land on all sides.

It is precisely because of its open location and accessibility that it is no less prosperous than Peony City.

This is the reason why Nancheng and Peony City have become the pearl of the south.

Speaking of which, there are not enough "shadows" to make it so difficult! Or ......

Qingying thought, and Nian Baiyu on the side also thought in his heart, "I see, otherwise it will be ......."

Nian Baiyu was only halfway through his words, when the little soldier outside the door suddenly interrupted him, "Report to the marshal!" Someone outside the door asked to see the army division. ”

"Looking for me? Who is it? Qingying asked suspiciously.

"He said, his name is Yan Wuru."

"Ruthless?" Qingying listened, and a smile immediately appeared on her face, "What do you really want to do!" After a sigh, she quickly ordered, "Please come in!" ”

Xiao Bing immediately went to welcome Yan Wuru in and reported it again.

The moment Qingying waved the curtain open, he saw Yan Ruthless standing outside, followed by a few followers.

Yan ruthlessly took a look at Qing Ying and asked the people who came with him to wait outside, and then followed her into the tent.

"Young Master Yan!" Nangong Mao and Nangong Ao arched their hands with him. Both of them had heard Qingying mention that they wanted Yan Wuru to stay in the Liuyu Army, and they also agreed with it very much, but it was a pity that Yan Wuru never came back once he left.

This sudden arrival surprised everyone.

"Brother Yan, long time no see!" On the side, Nian Baiyu also greeted him.

"Brother Nian?" Yan Wuru didn't expect Nian Baiyu to be here, but when he thought about it, the Liuyu Army had just captured Peony City, and as the son of the Southern Prince's Mansion, he could be regarded as a member of the Liuyu Imperial Court, so it was normal for him to appear here.

"Huh?" Qingying looked at the two of them back and forth, "Young master, do you know the prince of the world?" ”

Yan nodded ruthlessly, and listened to Nian Baiyu's words, "Actually, the people who protect the Nanwang Mansion on weekdays, as well as the entourage around me and my father, are all people sent by the Yama Palace. He smiled and continued, "There was a time when my father had offended people in the business field and provoked killers, and my father felt that the Yama Hall was a very large killer organization, and if they could be asked to send someone to be a guard, other killers would not dare to do it." Since then, Fuzhong has been very stable and has never had an accident. Therefore, our Nanwang Mansion cooperated with the Yama Palace, and the guards in the palace have been asked to be sent by the Yama Palace. ”

Qingying and the others understood the reason and kept nodding.

"Ruthless, you came at the right time!"

"Speaking of which, young master, you have come at a good time!"

Nian Baiyu and Qingying said at the same time, but the two sentences meant the same thing.

Qingying smiled and shook her head, "It seems that I think the same thing as the prince of the world!" ”

Nian Baiyu nodded, skimmed his eyes, and happened to meet Nangong Ao's cold eyes, coughed lightly and pretended not to see it, and then said, "Now, what the army lacks the most is people who can infiltrate the enemy." Brother Xia alone is definitely not enough, I was thinking that I should let the guards in the house go to help! However, now that Ruthless is here, there is no need for it! ”

Nian Baiyu said with a shallow smile and sighed, "This is really a twist and turn, and all wishes have come true!" ”

These days, the people in Peony City are saying after tea and dinner that the three princes must be the ones who inherit the mandate of heaven, otherwise, they would not have won many cities one after another so smoothly!

He wasn't the kind of person who would believe in destiny, and he couldn't stop believing in it now.

Yan Wuru listened to Nian Baiyu's words, and everyone was also sighing, and they also understood the reason why they were so emotional.

"In fact, there is the eyeliner of our Yama Hall in Nancheng, and this time I also heard that Miss Lu's family was detained, so I rushed to the Liuyu Army in advance. Before coming, we had already received news from the brothers in the city and learned the location of Miss Lu's family where they were detained, but when we investigated again, we found that the person was gone. This indicates that the other party may transfer the person from time to time. ”

Yan ruthlessly informed all the information he knew, "Now, because Peony City has been captured, your next target is Nancheng, which is very clear, so it is more difficult to find out where they are being held. And they also change locations from time to time, which makes it even more difficult to check. ”

Qingying listened and nodded, no wonder Ziyou took people to five days but couldn't find anything.

"Brother Yan has any ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Nangong Ao said eagerly.

"Hmm......" Yan Wuru thought for a moment, "so be it! You send troops to go and make it look like they are going to attack the city, they will definitely threaten the safety of the Lu Xia family, you make sure that the people are still alive, they must bring one person out, we will sneak in in advance, find out the location while they bring the people back, and then rescue them as soon as possible. ”

Yan ruthlessly said and paused, "Of course, this approach is somewhat risky. Also, it is possible that they will see through our intentions and not bring people out, which will not only fail the plan, but will also make it more difficult to investigate. ”

Qingying sighed when she heard this, and the sadness in her eyes couldn't be dissolved, "Otherwise, so be it!" Anyway, there's no other way, is there? ”

Seeing her so sad, Nangong Ao was very distressed, and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, "Brother Yan, I think, why don't you sneak in first, if you don't get the news within three days, how about we pretend to go and attack Nancheng?" ”

Yan Wuru thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine!" (To be continued.) )
