Three shots on the day.

The army set out from camp and arrived at Languan when the sun was already setting in the west, because there were still many things to deal with, so they had to stay in Languan for the night.

Looking at the map on the desk, Wang Xu was fascinated and had a more comprehensive understanding of this Hongzhou Continent.

Judging from the map, the Hongzhou continent is divided into nine counties, Hexi County, Guxi County, Qingyuan County, Nan County, Wu County, Bao'an County, North County, East County, in addition to these eight counties, there are also imperial capitals, according to the map complaint, the nine counties are about more than 10,000 miles, 10,000 miles away If it is in the 21st century, it only takes one day for the plane to cross the Hongzhou continent, but in this cold weapon era, the fastest means of communication is nothing more than a good fast horse, even if it is a thousand miles of good horses, it will take several months to complete the crossing of the Hongzhou continent.

Although there are only nine counties on the map, Wang Xu always feels that it is far more than that, maybe there is another world outside the distant border, but it is not known, such as Hexi, Hexi is an extremely cold place in the northwest, and there is no other alien race outside of Hexi? , or is it a tribal existence? Another example is Beijun, Beijun is the flattest part of the entire Hongzhou continent, it is said that there is no mountain peak there, some are just endless grasslands, but no matter how big the grassland is, he has an end, and what is at the end of the grassland? No one ever knew about this, and it was only left for future generations to investigate.

Looking at the map, Wang Xu quickly found out his current location, Guxilan Pass, more than 1,200 li in Xixi County, more than 300 li according to Qingyuan County, more than 400 li according to the imperial capital, and at the northernmost junction of the imperial capital and Guxi, there is also a northern county, which is more than 1,500 miles long; Overall, Guxi County is located after the imperial capital, and is the center of cultural and economic development of the Hongtian Empire, and it is also the most important county of the empire.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in".

Liao Yun pushed the door in, stepped forward and saluted: "Lord, do you have something to look for me?" ”

"You're here, come in and sit" Wang Xu put away the map and said.

Liao Yun walked to the coffee table, but he didn't dare to sit down, in this era, there is a very strict etiquette between the upper and lower levels, when there are elders or officials, the elders do not sit down, how can they sit down first as juniors; What's more, Liao Yun recognized Wang Xu as the main father, Wang Xu was still standing, if he sat down first, what kind of system would it be, Liao Yun cried with a sad face, and said: "The lord, the lord, please sit."

"So verbose" Wang Xu waved his sleeves, sat on the ground, and said: "You can sit down this time, don't be too restrained in front of me in the future, just whatever, I don't care." Seeing Wang Xu sitting on the ground, Liao Yun also did the same, and after sitting down, he said, "Lord, I don't know what to find me?" ”

Wang Xu said: "My army has too much grain and grass, and it is inconvenient to march with it, so I want to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Languan, one to protect the grain and grass, and the other to leave a back road, what do you think?" ”。

Liao Yun pondered for a moment and said, "This trip is very appropriate, I don't know who the lord left to guard?" ”

"You!". Liao Yun was slightly surprised, the purpose of garrisoning Languan was not only to protect those grains and gold and silver, but also to plan for the future, such an important errand must be handed over to reliable people, he had just returned less than a month, could it be that he was so deeply trusted?

"The lord's subordinates have just surrendered, and the stakes are important at this time, and the lord should hand over Languan to reliable generals."

Wang Xu looked resolute and said sincerely: "Aren't you my most reliable general?" ”

"The lord Liao Yun is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses" Liao Yun was excited and bowed to the ground.

Wang Xu smiled and nodded, helped Liao Yun up, and said, "Okay, let you lead five thousand elites to garrison Languan, I believe you."

"Liao Yun takes the order".

Wang Xu waved his hand and said, "You go and choose soldiers now, except for Zhang Meng's 500 personal soldiers and Guan Qing's 5,000 soldiers, you can choose the 30,000 soldiers at will." "Nuo" Liao Yun turned around and wanted to leave, Wang Xu suddenly remembered something, stopped Liao Yun, and instructed: "Liao Yun, this westward trip is unpredictable, I don't want Xiaoxue to suffer with the army, so I will leave her behind tomorrow, he is not only Zhang Meng's sister, but also my sister, I will ask you to take care of it." "She is sometimes more willful, you should give me a face, let her go, but don't allow her to go out of Languan City; The most important thing is to keep her safe."

Liao Yun said loudly: "Don't worry, my subordinates are awake."

"Okay, you go first, call Xiaoxue to me."

"No" Liao Yun turned around and walked out of the room.

After a while, Zhang Xue held an ancient ingot knife in her hand and pushed the door in; At the moment when the door was opened, the ancient ingot knife was instantly out of the body and went straight to Wang Xu: "Big brother, look at my knife technique."

The "bell" ancient ingot knife came too fast, Wang Xu didn't have time to think about it, so he picked up the long sword on the desk casually and swung the sword to block. With a crisp sound, Wang Xu dodged sideways.

"Xiaoxue, don't make trouble". Xiaoxue put away her sword and stood up, and said, "Didn't my senior brother teach you a few life-saving swordsmanship a few days ago, and let my little sister give you pointers."

After speaking, Zhang Xue shot again, the ancient ingot knife is a double-edged knife, it is said to be a knife but in fact it is no different from a sword, just a little thick, the ancient ingot knife does not have a bold momentum in Zhang Xue's hands, but a kind of swordsmanship used, due to the weight of the knife, so the action seems to be very slow. Before Zhang Xue finished speaking, the knife was close to Wang Xu's body, and he saw Wang Xu's long sword instantly out of his body and fought with Zhang Xue.

If it was before, Wang Xu would definitely be scared when he saw the blade attacking, but after Ye Xiong's guidance a few days ago, his martial arts have improved greatly, and the long sword block has forced Zhang Xue to retreat again and again.

"Bell" Wang Xu picked up with a sword, and Zhang Xuegu blocked it obliquely, narrowly avoiding Wang Xu's sword. The little girl wiped her sweat and no longer used the ancient ingot knife with swordsmanship, because this is a knife after all, and the operation with swordsmanship is full of flaws; Zhang Xue changed the light style of play just now, held the knife in both hands and slashed at Wang Xu, and slashed Huashan with one move, showing domineering. The gentle lady of the "bell" suddenly turned into a female man, Wang Xu was really a little uncomfortable, the power on the ancient ingot knife was more than twice as much as just now, and it was a little difficult for the long sword to collide with it.

Wang Xu dodged left and right, the long sword tried not to collide with the ancient ingot knife, the two of them fought back and forth for more than 30 rounds, no matter up or down, although Zhang Xue has always had the upper hand, Wang Xu has been dodging, but the little girl has limited physical strength after all, not as powerful as Zhang Meng.

"Bell".
