In an inconspicuous teahouse room on Yujie, Jia Rudao and Liu Ru sat opposite each other.

Under Liu Ru's few words as concise as always, Jia Rudao already roughly understood why Liu Ru suddenly appeared in Lin'an City. However, Meng Hui was worried about Jia Nidao's safety, and deliberately sent Liu Ru to protect Jia Nidao.

As for why Liu Ru was able to block his sedan chair on this royal street, it was all luck. She first went to Jiafu, and learned from Jia Quan'er that Jia Rudao went to the State Guesthouse, so she looked for it all the way. Liu Ru was not very familiar with the location of the State Guesthouse, so he asked as he walked, and when he hit him by mistake, he happened to run into Jia Rudao.

"Meng Shuai sent you to my side, so wouldn't he have a good guard by his side?" Jia Rudao frowned and said, "I already have many forbidden army guards around me, and I am still in Lin'an City, so my safety is naturally safe." Why don't you ......"

Jia Yidao's voice became lower and lower, and finally stopped abruptly. When he spoke, Liu Ru didn't make any movements, just looked at Jia Nidao quietly with a pair of black and white eyes, making Jia Rudao finally shut up with interest.

Although Liu Ru didn't speak, Jia Rudao could clearly read the meaning she wanted to express from her eyes, since I have already come to Lin'an City, how can I go back?

What's more, pushing Liu Ru, who should be an extremely sought-after master, and an extremely eye-catching woman, like a cargo, is really a bit of a loss of Liu Ru's identity.

"He said that there are still people in Lin'an City who are eyeing you, and if you go south to Guangzhou in the near future, I am afraid that there will be more people who will take risks." Seeing that Jia Rudao stopped his mouth with interest, Liu Ru's eyelids drooped and said lightly.

"As for him...... In the midst of hundreds of thousands of troops, what danger can there be? ”

In the end, Liu Ru seemed to feel that the words of Meng Heng relayed were not enough to convince Jia Yidao, so he paused for a moment and said to himself.

Jia Rudao was half surprised, his eyes stopped on Liu Ru's plain and watery face for a moment, and he took a long breath, but he didn't say anything to refuse. According to his understanding, according to Liu Ru's temperament, being able to take the initiative to say such a sentence surprised Jia Rudao, but a faint warmth appeared in his heart.

Even with his eyelids lowered, Liu Ru could still feel Jia Rudao's surprised look on his face. Even if she herself was able to take the initiative to say such a comforting word, it was a little surprising, Liu Ru knew very well that she would not say such a thing before. What does the life or death of a high-ranking official like Jia Nidao have to do with her?

Maybe the man said that his own people will have to rely on him to protect him in the future! Feeling that her heartbeat was slightly faster, Liu Ru told herself in her heart.

"Is everything good in Xiangyang City?"

Jia Rudao did not continue to dwell on the question of whether Liu Ru stayed or went back to Xiangyang, but turned to the layout of Xiangyang City. The implication is that he has already acquiesced to the problem of Liu Ru staying by his side.

Before Jia Yidao left Xiangyang City, he had basically had countless discussions with Meng Heng about the defense system of Xiangyang City. Of course, this defense system is still based on the fortress system that was mainly used to limit the Mongol cavalry and was mainly used to limit the Mongol cavalry in history, and of course, some extremely useful theories brought by Jia Yidao from later generations were also added, which was much more perfect than the Xiangyang defense system created by Meng Hui in the original history.

When Jia Rudao left Xiangyang City, more than a million soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City had begun to move according to the plan, first of all, the fortress that had been built before but was destroyed because of the stagnation of the mouth temperature did not take south, and now a few months have passed, although the correspondence between Jia Rudao and Meng Heng has not been broken, but it is as if Lin'an City and Xiangyang City are too far apart, although there are special messengers to and fro, but the last time Jia Rudao received a letter from Meng Heng was more than a month ago. And at that time, Meng Heng's letter was the situation in Xiangyang City two or three months ago.

No one knows when Sun Kui will be leveled without taking Kou Wen, although Meng Hui has already put Ning Wujun in a posture of going north to Caizhou in accordance with Zhao Yun's secret order to support Sun Kui's Houjin Army from afar, but Jia Yidao is also very clear that Sun Kui can master the Houjin Army is actually not too much, those green forest bandits who later joined the Houjin Army are all outlaws, if Kouwen Buhua opens heart-warming conditions, it is difficult to guarantee that these people will not secretly move a little thought. Wang Yan has not written from him for more than a month, which also makes Jia Yidao even more worried about the situation in Hebei and other places.

In addition, Wanyan Hongye has only left Lin'an City for more than 20 days, even if he runs all the way, at this time, I am afraid that he has just crossed the Yellow River, and it is still extremely far away from Hebei, not to mention, this road is the territory of the Mongols.

As the first and most important barrier to resist the Mongols going south, the safety of Xiangyang City is of great significance to the Great Song Dynasty, needless to say, once there is a problem in Xiangyang City, it is impossible to stop the Mongols for long only by relying on the Yangtze River moat, which Jia Yidao is very clear.

"Xiangyang City is fine, the fortress connecting Zaoyang and Xiangyang has been completed, and the Ningwu Army under Meng Dashuai has gone out of Zaoyang in accordance with the orders of the imperial court and your lord, and made a move to attack Caizhou, when I left, I heard Meng Dashuai say that the two armies of Shi Miyuan and Zhang Rou have also begun to deploy defenses in Caizhou and other places!"

Liu Ru obviously knew that after he came, Jia Rudao would definitely ask about the defense of Xiangyang City, but he had already done his homework. It's just that I don't know if she did this homework herself, or if Meng Heng asked her to convey it on her behalf.

"Is there anything unusual in the past few months?"

Jia Rudao nodded secretly, the fortress between Xiangyang City and Zaoyang had been completed before Liu Ru left, so now another month has passed, and it must be almost connected, in this way, Xiangyang City cannot be said to be impregnable, at least if the Mongols go south again, it will be impossible to fight under Xiangyang City without shedding a little blood, and for these things, with Meng Hui, a well-known defense master in later generations, Jia Rudao felt that he did not have to worry, and asked another question that he had not been relieved of.

Today's Xiangyang City Ordnance Supervisor has been rectified by Jia Nidao, even if Jia Nidao brought most of the skilled craftsmen to Lin'an City when he left Xiangyang City, but still left some craftsmen to make their own thunderbolts. For Meng Hui's Ning Wujun, whether defensive or offensive, thunderbolts are obviously a well-deserved weapon of great destruction.

However, because of this, Jia Rudao believes that the Mongols, especially those with a warm mouth, must have been eyeing the method of making thunderbolts for a long time. Although it has been promised under the city of Xiangyang to give the mouth temperature without spending the thunderbolt making method, if the mouth temperature does not take the flower to really believe it, it will feel strange, not to mention that now the matter of the peace talks with the Great Song Dynasty that the mouth temperature does not spend is simply the moon in the mirror, and there is no substantial progress.

Jia Rudao didn't believe that he would give up willingly like this, so if he wanted to get the recipe for making thunderbolts, the simplest and only one that could be implemented seemed to be the Ordnance Supervisor of Xiangyang City.

"The Ordnance Prison is now able to produce more than 100 thunderbolts a day."

"That's a normal number...... Hmm, nothing else out of the ordinary is happening? Jia Rudao frowned slightly and continued.

"What do you want to happen?" Liu Ru raised her head, her tone as flat as ever.

"Somebody's causing trouble, for example? Want to blend in with the Ordnance Prison? ”

"This ...... I have never heard of such a thing happening. ”

"It seems that the armory supervisor will not be stable for long!"
