Chapter Twenty-Three: Trying to Survive in Crisis

Just when the Zhao family was beating gongs and drums and deploying closely, Shen Yongchang also gathered with Shen Long, Cheng Xu and Xu Da, discussing strategies against the Zhao family.

In fact, they have no choice, among them, the strongest is Xu Da, but he is just a martial artist of the ninth stage of the open pulse, the gap between the martial artist of the open pulse realm and the body refining realm is like a heavenly moat, in the face of absolute strength, everything is in vain.

What's more, the Zhao family and the Shen family have long been mortal enemies, but the strength of the two families is similar, and there has been no huge conflict in the past few years, but small bumps in the secret can't be avoided, let alone the Zhao family, if Xu Da takes the lead in entering the body refining realm, then Shen Yongchang will definitely take measures to weaken the Zhao family immediately, and the successful superior will not let himself have future troubles.

It's just that luck seems to be on the side of the Zhao family, the ancestor of the Zhao family actually managed to break through the barrier, they all thought that Zhao Hongwei had passed away, after all, for so many years, they didn't hear any news from him.

Now, the Shen Mansion is shrouded in a depressed mood, is there really no way to take the Zhao family?

"Old Shen, now it seems that there is a huge gap between the enemy and us, we have no other way, if the Zhao family really wants to attack, then the first to suffer is the City Lord's Mansion, with the Zhao family's ruthless means, after seizing the City Lord's Mansion, they will inevitably hit the common people fiercely, kill a hundred people, so that they dare not resist, and after they fully control the City Lord's Mansion, our side will be over, so the only way now is to defend the City Lord's Mansion. ”

Cheng Xu said to Shen Yongchang on the side, his tone was very eager, after all, there was not much time left for them.

"Although you said that you are reasonable, I am afraid that Zhao Mingyuan's old fox will make a noise, and in this way, there will be no way for us to retreat. ”

The Shen City Lord frowned, he had to consider many aspects, after all, his wife and children were still in the Shen Mansion, if most of their strength was used to guard the City Lord's Mansion, then the Shen Mansion would definitely become very empty, at this time, if the Zhao family took advantage of the void, then the Shen Mansion would be over.

"Of course, Brother Shen, do you think I haven't thought of this aspect? Now it's almost noon, and the Zhao family's men and horses should attack at night at the earliest, that time is the most favorable time for them, if they all get a good rest during the day, then, at night, their combat ability will increase significantly, and at night, especially at dawn, our soldiers will reach the most tired time, if the Zhao family suddenly attacks at this time, then the possibility of us being able to resist is very small. Even the City Lord's Mansion can't stop it, let alone our Shen Mansion. ”

Hearing Cheng Xu say this, Xu Da spoke impatiently on the side.

"Lao Cheng, according to what you say, we can't win anyway, so let's just go out and have a good fight with them. Kill two and we'll earn. ”

"Of course you can say this, but that was before, and now, how sure are you that you can defeat Zhao Hongwei's powerhouse in the Forging Body Realm?"

Xu Da is naturally really, it is impossible for him to defeat him, after all, the gap in the realm is there, and he blames himself for not being angry, after all, their strength was about the same back then, and now, Zhao Hongwei is so much stronger than him.

"It's not, it's not, so what the hell are we going to do? Just stay here and die?"

Xu Da was already a little impatient, he was not good at using his brains, otherwise he would not have applied to be a janitor by himself.

"Lao Xu, don't worry, don't you know Lao Cheng yet, he always puts all the ugly words in front, and he won't say the solution until later, you can see his smiling face, if he didn't want to play tricks on you, would he be so calm. ”

"Haha" Cheng Xu laughed twice.

"Lao Shen still understands me, Lao Xu, don't panic, don't mess up by yourself, in fact, it's not that we don't have a countermeasure, it's just that this countermeasure has some risks, and there are many factors that we can't consider. Be ye prepared. ”

Hearing that Cheng Xu didn't have much confidence this time, it seemed that the situation had developed to a very serious situation. But Shen Yongchang and Xu Da didn't interrupt Cheng Xu and let him continue, as for Shen Long on the side, he just stayed there and listened to their discussion, he didn't plan to intervene at all, if Shen Yongchang hadn't let him exercise his ability here, he would rather go back to cultivate.

"That's the case, we send a reliable person at noon, no, it should be said that it is immediately out of the city, it is best to go on the road alone, to ask for the help of the county lord, this time and again, overnight, and wait until the reinforcements arrive, it will take three days at the earliest, except for today, all, as long as we insist on supporting the Zhao family's two-day offensive and drag it until the arrival of reinforcements, then, this time the crisis will be lifted." ”

"Ah, that's a good idea. ”

Before Cheng Xu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Da, and Xu Da just wanted to continue talking, but was immediately glared back by Cheng Xu.

"There are four uncertain factors in this plan, first, who should be sent to ask for help, second, it is uncertain whether the county lord will help, third, whether we can hold out until the reinforcements come, and fourth, whether we should hold the city lord's mansion or retreat to the Shen mansion is still undecided. ”

"These are not things we can think about anymore, now we will do as you say, act now, we are running out of time, who knows when the group of people from the Zhao family will come." ”

Shen Yongchang waved his sleeves and made a decision immediately.

"Long'er, you go and gather all the elders into the conference hall, go quickly, the sooner the better, we can't delay any longer. ”

Hearing his father's urgent order, Shen Long used his strength to eat milk and ran towards the door, he was eager to grow two more legs at this time.

In a short time, all the elders had already arrived, ten guard elders, six punishment elders, a total of sixteen people, these represented the high-end combat power of the City Lord's Mansion.

"Now, we need someone to go to the county lord to ask for assistance, it must be very hard, day and night, eating and sleeping, but this matter is related to the life and death of the Shen Mansion, which of you is willing to accept this arduous task. ”

After Shen Yongchang explained the form, he took out the problem.

Everyone was ready to accept the task, and they were about to speak, but one person got ahead of them.

This person is Zhang Han's father, Zhang Kun, one of the punishment elders.

"Among all of you, my strength is weak, I guess I can't help much, your strength is stronger than me, and the role of guarding the city lord's mansion is much stronger than mine, this errand job, let me do it for you." “

Everyone agreed that Zhang Kun would carry out the mission, but no one noticed that a strange smile appeared on Zhang Kun's face.
