Li Yi had been fighting with Li Sheng for a long time before, and his physical strength was exhausted.

Now in the face of Shangguan Ningxuan's fierce moves, he couldn't help but feel boundless fear in his heart. Goosebumps jumped, not daring to confront the enemy head-on. It's just a blind dodge. Greet other masters and help meet the enemy together.

There were seven people on Li Yi's side, and the three who were slightly injured were entangled by Li Sheng and the two. The remaining three people besieged together, cooperated with Li Yi, and gathered the strength of the four to fight against Shangguan Ningxuan.

Shangguan Ningxuan's fighting spirit was boiling, and he was not afraid at all. Take out a long ribbon from your bosom and hold it in your left hand.

Between the gentle waving of the ribbons, the wheels turn to form a circle, like a fairy dancing. And in it there are many colorful dust and all kinds of clouds of smoke coming out and emitting them on all sides. These clouds of smoke and dust are highly toxic.

What's more, when the ribbon dances, there is also a rapid sound of metal colliding. It's crisp and pleasant, like there are many small bells shaking.

However, she used the silky softness of the ribbon to hide many hidden weapons inside, preparing to find an opportunity to sneak out.

She didn't dare to push her left arm too hard, for fear that Wang Mang would worry and blame afterwards. So it's just used to deter the enemy, just in case.

Li Yi and the four of them saw Shangguan Ningxuan take out this skill, and thought that today was really an eye-opener. Not to mention the supernatural use of the opponent's sword moves, there are still many hidden weapons and poisons in an ordinary ribbon.

Seeing the poison erupting from the ribbon, they all held their breath and held various antidote pills in their mouths. With the momentum of the five elements, they surrounded it.

"Kill!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and Li Yi grabbed the first move, grabbed the ribbon with his left hand, and slashed with a sword in his right hand.

Shangguan Ningxuan was not afraid at all, and with a flip of her left hand, the ribbon turned faster. A whirlwind was raised, as if it could crush people.

Then the body moved, and the willow sword in his hand flipped. The index finger holding the sword swiped the hilt, and two rays of light immediately shot out from the hilt.

If you look closely, it is two slender silver needles, which shoot directly into Li Yi's eyes.

Li Yi dodged sideways, like a rabbit, and then swung his sword from the bottom plate and slashed at Shangguan Ning Xuan. thought that she was a person after all, and no matter how high her martial arts were, she couldn't be high. What's more, there are four people in the circle.

Shangguan Ningxuan sneered and slapped the ribbon down. Suddenly, it was like a steel plate slapping on the ground, making a buzzing sound.

Then suddenly the arm was lifted, and the ribbon floated up, raising endless dust. Suddenly, the field was hazy, and it was impossible to distinguish between southeast and northwest.

Previously, Li Sheng used a spear to pick up the dirt, sideways to avoid Li Yi's attack, and then came behind Li Yi in a millimeter and killed him with a gun. Although that trick was subtle, compared to Shangguan Ningxuan now, it was simply a cloud and mud.

He just picked up some dirt and confused Li Yi. Now Shangguan Ningxuan seemed to have directly overturned the entire ground, and the field was in chaos. It directly affected the sight of the four people, blocking their encirclement attack moves.

The dust eaten by the four of them was blocked, and they couldn't see specific things clearly. My vision was a little blurry, and I could only hear the sound of the wind in my ears. The expectation was not good, and they scattered one by one.

However, Shangguan Ningxuan's body method is subtle. Her move is the best way to deal with the encirclement. Therefore, when everyone is avoiding, identify one person and kill him.

Between the entanglements of the willow sword, a wisp of blood spurted out, but there was a master who had his throat cut.

Make full use of the geographical advantages and match your strengths.

Shangguan Ningxuan broke the opponent's encirclement in one move, and also brought a heavy blow to the opponent.

"Ahh

The man screamed, his weapon falling to the ground, his hands clutching his throat, and his face distorted.

Seeing this person's tragic situation, Li Yi exclaimed, "Fifth brother...."

"Fifth brother? Hmph, you better go down together and be a companion with him, so that he will not be alone on the road. Shangguan Ningxuan chuckled, her voice like a heavenly sound.

However, this chuckle sounded to the rest of Li Yi and the three of them, no less than the sound of the Demon Seeking Life, and their scalps were numb.

Gritted his teeth and looked at the dancing ribbon and the blood-dripping willow sword, and his chest was filled with anger.

I really wanted to go up and fight hard to avenge the fifth brother, but the other two held back and looked in the other three directions with a look of unease.

At this moment, the three little servants were very close, and they were only about a few hundred meters away from this place, which made them terrified.

Li Yi weighed it for a while, and roared angrily: "Cheap maid, Chen Chong, you are lucky today." And when the day comes, I will destroy and wait for the gates. ”

As he spoke, he greeted him and hurriedly retreated.

The three masked black-clothed men who fought against Li Sheng and Zhang Gen saw the situation and didn't dare to stay for a long time. Unleashed a few sharp moves, forcing the two men back. Then he didn't look back, not daring to risk his life.

Shangguan Ningxuan said coldly to their backs: "A group of rabble, I am waiting for you at any time." ”

Wang Mang, who was watching the battle from a distance, saw that all the people in black had retreated, so he led Wang Jingyan over.

When he came closer, he took a closer look at Shangguan Ningxuan's left shoulder, and after finding that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "Sister-in-law, I really can't stand you." Every time something happens, I have to ask you for help. ”

Shangguan Ningxuan said with a smile: "It's okay, as the saying goes, there are three gangs of a hero." The reason why Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been famous through the ages is not because of the help of many people? Otherwise, how could he have made such great achievements on his own? You are still in the stage of growth and development, and it is normal for you to have to ask me to help you with some things. We are a family, and you must not be so polite. ”

Chen Chong saw the man in black retreating, his heart was a little calm, and he took the left and right guards to thank Shangguan Ning Xuan.

Shangguan Ningxuan and this person didn't have any common language, so they politely said a few words, and then stopped talking.

Wang Mang said lightly: "Lord Chen Chong, I just heard that Li Zhong, the prefect of Wanzhou, wants to plot the land of Yuzhou, what is going on?" For the sake of this, please tell me a word or two. ”

Chen Chong was a little suspicious and asked, "I don't know who the son is?" ”

"I am Wang Mang of the Yuancheng Wang family, and I came here this time to see the specific situation of the land of Zhuzhou. Unexpectedly, I was attracted by the sound of your fight, so I rushed over, which is also a coincidence. Wang Mang replied.

"Wang Mang of the Yuancheng royal family?"

Chen Chong's eyes widened and he took three steps back.

The Yuancheng Wang family is a top-level family, with huge power and transcendent existence, directly ruling an entire state. It's the same as another dynasty, but it's just not officially enthroned yet.

Ordinary city lords, county magistrates, prefects, and other officials can't get into their eyes at all.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it would be easy for the Wang family to lead troops to unify small states and counties such as Yuzhou and Wanzhou.

Chen Chong had never touched such a behemoth before. The biggest official he'd ever seen before was just a prefect.

"Wang Mang?"

After Chen Chong retreated, he quickly calmed down.

After a while, he suddenly thought of something and exclaimed: "You are the Wang Mang who scattered gold to the fleeing people?" ”

"Yes, that person is me." Wang Mang replied.

Chen Chong smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect that the famous young master of the Wang family, Wang Mang, would be so benevolent and righteous. ”

"Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." Wang Mang said in a deep voice: "You are loyal, you want to serve the court, Kuang Fu Sheji, and in your heart you regard me and other great families as chaotic ministers and thieves." It's a pity that you don't know that the world is not the Liu family, but the country of thousands of people.

The people are the country, and the country is the people. No matter who he is, as long as he is good to the people, anyone can be the emperor and sit on the throne. ”

Chen Chong asked, "Young Master Wang, could it be that you also have that thought?" Also, I don't know why you came to Yingchuan this time? Could it be that like the prefect of Wanzhou, your Wang family wants to start marching to carve up the entire Zhuzhou? ”

"Do I have the heart to say anything else, I'm here today just for fun. You tell me, then the arrangement of Li Zhong, the prefect of Wanzhou, will do. Wang Mang said with a flick of his hand.

Chen Chong replied: "Young Master Wang, my Yuzhou County has a total of eight cities, and this Yingchuan City is one of them. According to the information I heard, Li Zhongbing, the prefect of Wanzhou, was divided into eight routes, each with 5,000 soldiers and horses, to annex the entire Yuzhou.

Our Yuzhou has insufficient troops and backward armaments, so it is impossible to resist head-on. So I went to the prefect of Yuzhou and asked to join forces in one place, go straight to Wancheng Huanglong, and force the other party to retreat. But the prefect refused, saying that it was a joint army, which was very dangerous and easy to wipe out the whole army. can only divide the troops to defend and fight a protracted battle.

However, in the fight of a protracted war, the people will surely suffer a great deal and will not be righteous. Then I persuaded the city lord of Yingchuan to strike first and send an elite soldier to raid out.

However, the city lord heard the strategist Ruan Xin's bewitchment, saying that it was not appropriate to send troops out, so he could only shrink his forces to defend. In this way, won't my Yingchuan City be trapped to death? Once trapped for three or two months, the people's will will definitely change, and the city will be self-defeating.

After that, I wrote to the city lord of Yingchuan, saying that while looking for killers, attacking and killing the opponent's generals, spreading rumors, and disturbing the opponent's army. On the one hand, he told the people that there was a strong enemy coming. If you want to keep your family small, you have to work together to defend the city, but this plan was dismissed. After that, I wrote a lot of schemes, but none of them were adopted, and it seemed that the city lord was hesitating. ....”

Wang Mang listened quietly to his words and pondered.

"The soldiers are divided into eight ways and put on a posture of devouring the world, which is a preemptive plan to bring a sense of oppression to the other party's psychology. And according to what you said, Li Zhong's troops must be strong and strong, and he is good at trapping and killing the enemy. ”

Muttering to himself, Wang Mang asked again: "How many troops are there in this Yingchuan City?" How many people are there? ”

"There are less than 3,000 troops, and the people are about 80,000 or 90,000." Chen Chong smiled bitterly: "In the early years, there were hundreds of thousands of people in Yingchuan City. However, in recent years, natural disasters have continued, wars have been frequent, and the people's taxes and forced labor have been increased several times, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of people. If Li Zhong's army is killed, under their sackage, I am afraid that if not the people, at least half of them will be killed or wounded. ”

"Well, I know this matter in my heart, and you will take me to see the city lord first. After meeting this person, we have a plan. Wang Mang said with a smile.
