Chapter 624: Wufang County (I)
The nineteenth princess brought Wu Yue and Yu Li this time, and there were three guards behind the Sixth Highness, one of whom Wu Yue was still very familiar with, it was Hu Tielun who came to Xiyuan City to capture Zhu Xiaobao. Although Hu Tielun's martial arts are not the highest, he is the most confidant of the Sixth Highness, and his cultivation has also been promoted to the Great Martial Master in recent years. The other two wore masks and followed closely behind the Sixth Highness. But Yu Li could feel that the martial arts of these two people were very high, and they should not be under her. The faint momentum of this master made Yu Li immediately vigilant.
"Huh! Nineteenth sister, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but I often think of you as a brother, I can't imagine that you have developed a certain scale in the past few years! His Royal Highness Sixth entered the wooden house, and he was not polite, sat down and said with a smile. This posture really doesn't look like it's for negotiations, it's like it's for reminiscence!
"Yes, since the Imperial City, the sixth brother has taken good care of the little sister, and the little sister is really grateful!" The Nineteenth Princess also said with a smile, and then also sat opposite the Sixth Highness, while Wu Yue and Yu Li stood behind the Nineteenth Princess.
"Where is it, it was my sister who was ignorant at the beginning, and if you offend, please bear with the nineteenth sister!" His Royal Highness the Sixth said a little embarrassed, after all, she was trying her best to calculate the nineteenth princess, but she didn't succeed. Therefore, His Royal Highness the Sixth quickly changed the topic, looked at Wu Yue and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Wu Yue would also become a cultivator who was promoted to the Great Martial Master, which is really gratifying!" β
"Don't dare! I still want to learn from this Hu Tielun! Wu Yue said coldly, but her eyes were staring at Hu Tielun, Hu Tielun was an insurmountable master for her at the beginning, and now she really wants to compete with Hu Tielun again!
"Humph! Wu Yue, don't be arrogant, I'll accompany you at any time! Hu Tielun also snorted annoyedly, he couldn't imagine that a small third-level warrior at the beginning had now become a great martial artist, and the speed of promotion was too fast. But Hu Tielun has also been promoted to a great martial artist in recent years, and he is still very confident in his combat power!
"That's it! I'm getting down to business now, and I'll talk about these little things later! His Royal Highness waved his hand, what he was most concerned about was the negotiation with the Nineteenth Princess, wanting to get the greatest benefit from it. So His Royal Highness turned his face again and said with a smile: "Nineteenth sister, is this meeting here to ask for peace?" In fact, as long as you pay a little compensation, the sixth brother is still willing to fulfill you! β
"Summation? Hehe, sixth brother, you think too much, I'm here to ask for the return of Huaning County, I accept the second brother's fiefdom, but I don't necessarily lose two counties as soon as I take office, right? The nineteenth princess was slightly stunned, then shook her head and said indifferently.
"Restitution? Hehehehe...... Nineteenth sister, you are really good at talking, even if the sixth brother has the heart to help you, he will not come up with a county to do favors? His Royal Highness was also stunned, and then couldn't help laughing, in his opinion, this nineteenth sister seems to be too naΓ―ve, she doesn't want to pay anything, so she will take Huaning County back?
"Hmmm! I am a salute before a soldier, if the sixth brother doesn't want to pay it back, then the little sister has to take it back by herself! The second brother's fief is now in my hands, and I must take back the two counties that you forcibly occupied! The nineteenth princess nodded and said very seriously.
"And the two counties are recovered? Nineteenth sister, I admit that you have fought very well in these battles since you moved in, but do you think that in this way, you can recover Wufang County and Huaning County? You also underestimate the strength of me and the eldest brother! It's still like this, you pay a certain amount of compensation, we will no longer invade Liuhe County, and you can defend Liuhe County, which is already very remarkable! His Royal Highness Sixth seemed to be very kind and said.
"Compensation? You have taken one of my counties, and not only are you not ready to return it, but you want me to compensate you? The nineteenth princess suddenly asked in surprise.
"Of course! You must know that if we continue to attack, you will not even be able to keep the only remaining Liuhe County! Sixth Brother is not joking with you, the combined number of people and I of the eldest brother is more than ten times that of yours! Brother is really thinking about you! His Royal Highness's expression was even more exaggerated, as if he was completely thinking about the nineteenth princess, and the nineteenth princess didn't even appreciate it!
"It seems that the sixth brother is not ready to return Huaning County? Then this meeting will not be meaningful! The nineteenth princess immediately lowered her face and said.
"Huh! Nineteenth sister, you don't seem to understand that the law of the jungle is the eternal truth, you are now the weak side, and it is already the best result to be able to keep the last Liuhe County. Well, speaking of which, I want to help you, I don't know if the eldest brother is willing to let go of Liuhe County! His Royal Highness also gradually restrained his smile and said very arrogantly.
"Then there's nothing to talk about! I will recover Wufang County first, and then I will recover Huaning County, don't blame the little sister for fighting each other when the time comes! The nineteenth sister stood up and said coldly.
"Oh? Haha, then I'll wait and see, if the nineteenth sister can really recover Wufang County, I will consider returning Huaning County to you! "His Royal Highness the Sixth Heart, if the Nineteenth Princess can really defeat the eldest prince, wouldn't it be a great thing for herself!
Regardless of whether or not they can recover Wufang County, these two will definitely lose both. When the time comes, these two families will definitely be the end of the crossbow, and it may be very possible to destroy the eldest brother and the nineteenth sister in one fell swoop! Therefore, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness immediately became hot in his heart, and made a very tempting promise, as long as the Nineteenth Princess could recover Wufang County, he would return Huaning County!
"Good! Deal! I hope the sixth brother can keep his word! The nineteenth princess immediately chased after her.
"Of course, it's a deal! But don't let the eldest brother know about this meeting, otherwise he wants me to cooperate with the attack, and I won't be able to refuse! His Royal Highness also responded happily, in his opinion, if the Nineteenth Princess wants to defeat the eldest prince, she is still a little overwhelmed, and offense and defense are completely different things! If you want to capture Wufang County by force, the few men and horses of the nineteenth princess are far from enough!
Returning to the Daosheng Palace, His Royal Highness was very happy in his heart, now he was in an absolutely advantageous position, the eldest prince had won, and he could immediately launch a fierce attack. Once the eldest prince is defeated, he can still hold on to Huaning County. Anyway, after this battle, the eldest prince and the nineteenth princess will definitely lose both!
"Your Highness, don't take it lightly! The nineteenth princess is able to resist the two of you, and she has won against you. Her strength should not be underestimated! "University scholar Yu Wenchang was also invited to the banquet, but Yu Wenchang's heart was not steady, because the nineteenth princess was too confident and had no absolute chance of winning, where did this confidence come from?
"Huh! Teacher, you're worried! She is going to attack now, this is not as easy as defense, and the defense of Wufang County is not bad! Without those kitschy means, the nineteenth sister would have no strength! His Royal Highness said with a smile.
"What are you going to do with the food that Your Highness has?" Yu Wenchang asked again.
"I'll give him a guarantee! And it's free! Let his men and horses be fed and have the strength to fight! By the way, come here, halve the food for Da Chitose, and if he has food, he will stick to it without fighting, so how can I afford it! He must be given a sense of urgency, not only to defend, but also to counterattack back! His Royal Highness suddenly thought of this problem, and immediately compressed the grain supplied to the eldest prince by half, only 20,000 deniers.
"Hmmm! This plan is feasible, and His Highness can't be too comfortable! Let them fight! Yu Wenchang nodded at this time and said with satisfaction. Then he went back on crutches, and before leaving, he turned back and said, "Remember, if Your Highness is really defeated!" You will take the initiative to return Huaning County to the Nineteenth Princess! β
"Know! Know! Teacher walk slowly! His Royal Highness said a little perfunctorily, not believing in his heart that the Nineteenth Princess would be able to capture Wufang County.
After sending Yu Wenchang away, His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness happily instructed Hu Tielun: "Tomorrow, you go and press the grain to the eldest brother!" Let's just say that I'm also nervous here, and I'm helping him prepare more food so that he can solve it quickly! β
"Yes! The little one understands! Chitose, what else is there to command? Hu Tielun nodded and said, and then asked very well.
"Hmmm! Today I am happy in my heart and put ...... King Wen's talented women have invited them to sleep, hehe, it's still a fun time for other women! When you drive the nineteenth sister out of Liuhe County, you remember to help me get that Wu Yue and Yu Li......" His Royal Highness was in a very good mood, and said with a retrospective, when he saw Wu Yue and Yu Li today, he suddenly had a different feeling, and the strong and strong beauty made him very interested!
"Yes, yes, yes! The little one understands that sooner or later these two women will be your playthings! Hu Tielun said with a flattery on his face.
The next day, Hu Tielun escorted 20,000 deniers of grain to Wufang County, and by the way, he also looked at the defense of Wufang County, and his heart was more steady, the defense of Wufang County had been repaired a lot, and the various defensive equipment of the eldest prince had been erected, and the city wall was prepared with strong bows and crossbows, rolling wood and stones.
"What? It's only 20,000 deniers? How many days is that enough? Go back and tell the sixth child, don't play tricks on me, hurry up and send another 100,000 deniers! As soon as the eldest prince saw that there were only 20,000 deniers, he immediately scolded him dissatisfiedly.
"Yes, yes, yes! My prince is also trying his best to prepare food, and he will never disappoint you! You can rest assured! Hu Tielun hurriedly explained with a smile, he didn't dare to offend this great prince, if he didn't make it, he would eat people!
"Hmmm! There you go! Hurry back and prepare food! The eldest prince waved his hand impatiently and sent Hu Tielun away, 20,000 deniers is indeed a bit less, a million army, equivalent to only two catties per person! Wouldn't it be eaten in two days!
However, the eldest prince is also in a good mood today, because the 100,000 denier of food temporarily raised by Yeqing County and Sanhe County has arrived, and the urgently needed herbs and various military supplies have also been delivered. So the eldest prince has confidence again!
Although she is very afraid of the firearms and mines of the Nineteen Princesses, she is still very confident in defending Wufang County, even if it is a stalemate, it is the Nineteen Princesses who are in a hurry. So the eldest prince's heart is much more comfortable! In the evening, a table of wine banquets was specially prepared, which was rare to enjoy, and this time another beautiful woman was unlucky and became the appetizer of the prince!
After an hour of eating, the eldest prince was already full of wine and food, drunk and drunk, and fell asleep with two maids in his arms. But in the second half of the night, suddenly the camp was on fire, and his guards ran in in a panic to report it, and it took a long time to wake up the eldest prince.
"What? On fire? Grain burned again? The eldest prince was still dazed at first, but as soon as he heard that the grain was burned, he was immediately shocked and sobered up. And then there's the thunderstorm! 120,000 denier of grain, just like that, was burned?
The eldest prince rushed to the big tent in a hurry, Situ Bufan was already waiting there with a sad face, and all the civil and military officials under his command were all counted, all beating drums in their hearts, I don't know how the eldest prince will be angry!
"Put ...... Kill the generals guarding the granary! Situ Bufan, how did you arrange it, you can't even guard a granary, how many people did you send to guard the granary? The eldest prince angrily scolded in the big tent. Even Situ Bufan was scolded by it, and this was the first time Situ Bufan was scolded like this.
"It should be that little treasure, the sergeants saw a white tiger, passing back and forth in the granary, and everywhere they went, there was a big fire, and five people could chase after it. Wechen has already sent 50,000 horses to guard the granary, if it weren't for the work of a special divine beast like him, he wouldn't have been able to enter the granary at all! Situ Bufan said in a low voice. He was also very depressed in his heart, he didn't expect Zhu Xiaobao to make a move, he was from the Great Zirui Kingdom, but if he thought about it again, there was nothing to blame, and people still called themselves the concubines of the Nineteenth Princess! The horse helps the princess, which is also a matter of course!
It turned out that as soon as the grain from the eldest prince's side arrived, Zhu Xiaobao got the news. Originally, Ye Qinghong wanted to burn the granary, but this time Zhu Xiaobao stopped him, with the lesson of the previous time, the granary must be heavily guarded, and it will definitely be difficult for Ye Qinghong to get close. So Zhu Xiaobao decided to take action himself, for the sake of the nineteenth princess, Zhu Xiaobao can be regarded as fighting!
Originally, Zhu Xiaobao wanted to touch the camp of the eldest prince and assassinate the eldest prince, so that the dragons would be leaderless, and it would inevitably be completely chaotic. However, when he touched the camp of the eldest prince, he found that he could not get close at all, and there were bright and dark sentries all around, and there were a large number of guards guarding around the camp. Before he got closer, the old apprentice sensed a trace of powerful aura, which was only possessed by the Great Venerable, and there was actually a Great Venerable hidden in the camp of the Great Prince.
Fortunately, the old apprentice was alert quickly, and quickly withdrew with Zhu Xiaobao, and then shielded his breath and hid it. As soon as it was hidden, a person quickly burst out of the tent, burly and fierce, but the momentum on his body was definitely at the level of the Great Martial Venerable, and it should be the Barbarian Venerable.
The Great Venerable of the Barbarian Wilderness stood in place and sensed it carefully for a while, but he couldn't sense the breath just now, he looked around a little puzzled, and then returned stupidly. At that time, he was drinking and eating meat with the eldest prince, and he drank a little too much, so he was a little sluggish.
Zhu Xiaobao gave up the idea of assassinating the eldest prince, the feeling that the Great Venerable of the Barbarian Wilderness gave him just now was very strong, not a little stronger than the old apprentice, and they might not be able to beat the master and apprentice together!
Therefore, Zhu Xiaobao still rushed to the granary, and the surrounding 50,000 horses and horses insisted on surrounding the granary, Situ Bufan was cautious enough, and this way of camping was to ensure the safety of food.
But this kind of defense with a large number of people, can stump the old apprentice, but it is not difficult to defeat Zhu Xiaobao, he condensed the White Tiger Law Phase, the human and the Law are one, and rushed in all the way, and this time the condensed White Tiger Law Phase is very small, not much bigger than a wolf dog, but the speed is so fast, those soldiers have no time to react, seeing a mini tiger rush in, and when he remembered to chase it, it was already gone.
Before coming to the granary, Zhu Xiaobao was also very happy, fortunately he came in person, Situ Bufan actually piled up the grain in more than a dozen warehouses, just in case, even if one warehouse was burned, it could avoid other warehouses from suffering, because each warehouse had left a long distance, and Situ Bufan was also painstaking.
But even if Situ Bufan was unlucky when he encountered Zhu Xiaobao, Zhu Xiaobao's white tiger law suddenly became huge, and a pair of tiger claws slapped his hand, and he patted the door of the treasury to the fans, and then rushed in, his tiger claws also emitted a scorching fire, which was much more powerful than ordinary flames, and a raging fire immediately ignited everywhere he passed, and there was no way to extinguish it. So none of the dozen warehouses survived, and all of them were burned.
When all of them were burning, the white tiger was thrown into the flames, and disappeared into the raging sea of fire in a blink of an eye. And after a while, a small colonel in an ordinary military uniform ran out of it, shouting and calling for someone to put out the fire, and then took advantage of the chaos to escape. Don't ask, this little school is a treasure!
"Little treasures? Are the rumors true? Is he really the bloodline of the Divine Beast? The Great Prince was also a little stunned, and after a while, he turned his head and asked the Barbarian Great Venerable: "Great Venerable, can you make a move against this person?" Can you kill him? β
"Yes! But it's hard, I'm not known for speed, and if he just runs away, I can't do anything about him! And as soon as I make a move, I will inevitably alarm that old thing of Wuwei! The Great Venerable of the Barbarian Realm hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice, he had not yet fought with a person of the Divine Beast bloodline, so he was not very sure.
"Alright! Mr. Situ, what do you think we should do next? The eldest prince also calmed down at this time, and his tone became calmer, after all, Situ Bufan had done it very carefully this time, but when he encountered this demon like a tiger's roar, he could only be unlucky!
"Hurry up and urge the Sixth Highness to send food again, and let the four counties under the tree urgently dispatch food again and send it as soon as possible! In addition, get ready immediately, I estimate that the people of the nineteenth princess will take advantage of the chaos to attack! Situ Bufan was still very calm, he did not panic at this time, but made careful arrangements in an orderly manner.
But when it was dawn, I didn't see the Nineteenth Princess's men and horses attacking, but at noon, eight strangely shaped chariots came from the Nineteenth Princess, and there were no horses to pull them, so they drove them completely by themselves, which were the improved mecha chariots......
