Xu Xiang was already waiting impatiently, and when he received the news that Wang Guiping planned to send troops to Huojia Village, he immediately became excited.

Finally something has been done!

Just when Xu Xiang found a good geographical location and planned to ambush Wang Guiping on the road he had to pass, so that he could feel the sinister nature of the world.

The spies came with the news: Wang Guiping has withdrawn again!

It turned out that Wang Guiping, who was full of anger and majestic spirits, had just boarded the boat and encountered a small wave of wind and waves.

The bumpy ship instantly reminded him of the scene when the grain ship was burned down.

immediately retreated, ordered the class to return to Bagou Town, and shrank.

"Make no mistake! Is it so cowardly? Xu Xiang pointed to draw water and scolded.

"There is also the Nine Shadows Palace, you should send someone over!"

"I specially transferred the musketeers over and prepared a good show of bullets and bullets for you, what does it mean not to sing?"

Jiang Shenyu heard Xu Xiang's complaint and covered his mouth and snickered.

"Changsha, it seems that Wang Guiping doesn't have the courage to come over, why don't we go back to Hancheng?" She spoke.

Although she knew the power of the muskets, she was sure that these musketeers could deal with the masters sent by the Nine Shadows Temple.

Xu Xiang felt that there was not much point in staying here, and it seemed that the Nine Shadows Hall would not come over for the time being. So he said, "I should go back, but I still have to leave some people here." Lao Yang, you lead a hundred people to stay in Huojia Village. Pay more attention to Uncle Ling's situation, and as soon as there is news, pass it to me immediately. ”、

So, Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu returned to Hancheng with 400 people.

When he returned to Hancheng, Jiang Fu was not in the mansion, only Xu He was in the mansion.

"It's so late, where is the Great Hall going?" Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu sat at the dinner table, and asked while eating.

"It seems that there was some friction between Yulinwei and the Tongque Battalion, and His Highness and Wei Gongzi went to the barracks." Xu He replied.

"Oh, when His Highness returns, tell me that I have something to discuss with him." Xu Xiang picked up the rice and said casually.

Just finished eating, Jiang Fu and Wei Zhang returned to the mansion together.

Seeing Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu, Jiang Fu walked over and said, "Are you back?" ”

"I heard that there was a little friction between Yu Linwei and the Bronze Bird Battalion, how about it? Didn't make any big noise, did it? Xu Xiang asked.

Jiang Fu and Wei Zhang both sat down, and Xu He poured a cup of tea for the two.

Jiang Fu picked up the tea, took a sip, and sighed, "Alas, I almost mutinied!" ”

Xu Xiang was puzzled, "It's just friction, how can it mutiny?" ”

"It's because of the food problem." Wei Zhang said.

"What's wrong with the grain? Has anyone deducted it? ”

"That's not it, how can anyone dare to withhold food at this juncture. Lu Ping may send a large army to besiege Hancheng at any time. We must hold the castle and wait for reinforcements from our father. We don't have much grain and grass now, and there is no war now, so I ordered the grain officer to distribute less grain in case there is not enough grain and grass in the future. ”

"But where would the soldiers care about this, they just felt that they were not full, and thought that the grain officer had withheld their food, so this was the trouble."

"Originally, the two sides were scuffling grain transport officers, but one Yu Linwei accidentally injured the people in the Tongque Battalion, and the impact of the words, coupled with the fact that they were full of blood, the two armies fought directly in the barracks."

Jiang Fu gently patted his head, feeling a headache.

"Fortunately, His Highness and I rushed over in time to stop this turmoil." Wei Zhang also said.

"If I had known that you would burn Nangong Sui's grain ship, I would rather send more people to grab this 10,000 stone of grain." Jiang Fu sighed again and said.

"Not enough food?" Xu Xiang was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, we only have 10,000 stone grain and grass, more than 8,000 people, and if we supply the soldiers normally, we can hold out for three months at most."

Xu Xiang was speechless for a while, but he didn't expect Jiang Xiang to be ready for a protracted battle.

"Don't worry, this war won't last long! There won't be three months! Xu Xiang said firmly.

"Why?" Jiang Fu and Wei Zhang asked in unison.

"Now the grain and grass that was shipped to Lu Ping has been burned, with Lu Ping's current grain and grass, how long can he last?"

"The spies got the news that the grain and grass in Luping's army would last for ten days at most."

"We just need to block the good news and not let anyone enter to draw water to report to Nangong Sui. Lu Ping has not been able to receive grain and grass and reply letters for a long time, and he will definitely send someone to Xiyang to ask for grain and grass, presumably at that time, the news that Hancheng is occupied by us will also reach his ears. ”

"Lu Ping will definitely send people to attack Hancheng."

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "We will inevitably lose in a head-to-head confrontation with Lu Ping, so I made the decision to stick to Hancheng." ”

Xu Xiang smiled slightly, "Your Highness, you are also a fan of the authorities!" ”

"Think about it, Lu Ping's 25,000 people, plus Nangong Que's 5,000 Xingguo troops, plus 5,000 garrisons in Yangyang and 3,000 people on the southern slope of Huayin Mountain. They have a total of 38,000 soldiers, how much grain and grass do they have to consume every day? How much grain and grass can there be in Sunrise? ”

"Let's just count that there are 20,000 stone grain and grass in Sunyang, we have 8,000 people and 10,000 stone grain and grass, and they have 38,000 people and 20,000 stone grain and grass. Think about it, who couldn't hold on first? ”

Jiang Fu and Wei Zhang both showed expressions of sudden realization, and said excitedly: "It must be them!" The communication with the water was cut off by us, and they could not attack the East China Sea when they left Huayin Mountain. Food and grass are scarce. ”

"Isn't that the end of it? We just need to hold on for a month! ”

On the fourth day of the eighth month of the Great Xia calendar, Lu Ping, who was guarding Huayin Mountain, finally learned that Hancheng had been occupied by Jiang Cheng and Wei Zhang, and led an army of 15,000 to Hancheng to recapture the captured city.

However, during this time, Jiang Cheng had already arranged Hancheng as solid, and after Lu Ping threw down 3,000 corpses, he retreated to Yangyang City.

On August 11, Lu Ping set out to attack Hancheng again, but was repulsed again.

Not only that, after Jiang Cheng sent the news to Linzi, Jiang Cheng sent the floating general Zhi Guangmao to lead 20,000 elite soldiers to Huayin Mountain.

Shi Luping was not in the Huayin Mountain Canyon, and the 10,000 defenders of the canyon were defeated by Zhi Guangmao.

Zhi Guangmao made a decision immediately, deployed elite troops, and surrounded the sun.

And Jiang Fu and Wei Zhang also took the opportunity to send troops to Yangyang, and joined forces with Zhi Guangmao to carry out a fierce attack on Yangyang.

After five days of sleepless siege battles, Lu Ping was killed, and Nangong Que, Wang Guiping and other generals were captured.

And Nangong Sui, who was far away in Jishui, didn't know about the changes in the two cities of Hancheng and Sunyang, until Zhi Guangmao led his troops to Jishui City.

At this time, Xu Xiang and Jiang Shenyu had already left early, and they were on the way to Yong'an Town, ready to help Meng Jian repair the formation.

The three of them came to the outside of Yong'an Town, and Meng Jian said that this formation was very powerful, and those who entered the town were into the formation.

Yong'an Town is dilapidated and desolate, and after entering the town, it gives Xu Xiang a sense of decadence.

Walking along the town's avenue, the originally clear sky suddenly began to darken.

There was a strange sound of wind around them, and a cold wind blew on them, chilling.

It's August, and it's noon, it's the hottest time, and now they're feeling the cold.

Apparently they were already in the formation, and they were affected by the formation.

Xu Xiang remembered what Meng Jian said, there are many crises in this array, and there is a poison that affects people's hearts.

He took out the antidote to the Seven Stars Soul Boiling that Meng Jian gave him, and said, "One for each person, take it in your mouth, don't get poisoned." ”

After taking the antidote, everyone only felt a warm current flowing through their bodies, and the cold feeling just now disappeared in a flash.

The further you go inside, the darker it becomes, and Jiang Shenyu ignites the fire.

"Your Highness, I feel gloomy and creepy in this place." Yang Dianfeng said with some trepidation.

"It's okay, entrusted by the sword, we promised him, and we will do it. Let's continue to look for Wenyan Building! ”

And what they didn't know was that there was a pair of eyes watching their every move in the dark.

The faint light of the fire fold guided them forward, and they were unaware of what was behind them.

"Your Highness, look, are those two red lanterns the location of the Wenyan Mansion you mentioned?" Yang Dianfeng suddenly saw two red lanterns hanging on the street on the left.

Xu Xiang nodded and said, "It seems that it is right, Meng Jian said that there are two hanging lanterns on the Wenyan Tower, if it is white, the formation is fine, and there is no need to pay attention to it." If it turns red, the formation is destroyed. It seems that the formation is really damaged and needs to be repaired! ”

"Then let's get over there!"

The three of them walked in the direction of the lantern, the closer they got to the road, the clearer it became, the red light of the lantern shrouded them, as if to point them the way, and they came to the outside of the Wenyan Building.

This Wenyan Building is quite different from what he has seen before, in addition to the fact that this Wenyan Building is not as big as that, the whole building also faintly exudes a dead air, which looks particularly mad.

"Let's quickly change the wick and fix the formation!" Xu Xiang said.

Just as they were about to step forward, take off the lantern and replace it with the wick, suddenly there was a strange song around them.

Jiang Shenyu's face changed, this ballad was somewhat similar to the song he heard when he followed Ah Hua and the man in white before.

There was a weirdness and gloom in the song, and at this time, the door of Wenyan Building slowly opened with a long "squeak".

The first thing that appeared from the restaurant was a red lantern, and the lantern was carried by a man in a black robe, wearing a certain high and pointed paper hat on his head, on which were written four words: "The world is peaceful".

The man's outfit was almost identical to the man in white except for his clothes!

"He ......" Jiang Shenyu trembled and leaned behind Xu Xiang, holding Xu Xiang's arm tightly.

Xu Xiang and Yang Dianfeng also had a creepy feeling when they saw the black-clothed man who suddenly "floated" out of the restaurant.
