"General Zhang, please get up and take me to see the city lord!"

Yang Fan said while helping the silver-armored general who was kneeling on one knee.

"Okay young master, please come with me!"

……

When he arrived at the City Lord's Palace, Yang Fan immediately saw the golden-armored warriors in the City Lord's Mansion, as well as the middle-aged man wearing a black cloak standing at the top of the steps of the main hall.

Yang Fan recognized that person at a glance, it was Zheng Zong, the city lord of Jiangyue City!

Zheng Zong crossed his waist with one hand and pressed his sword with the other, looking at the army in the mansion, his majestic face was full of melancholy.

However, when he saw the Silver Armor General and Yang Fan wearing Taoist clothes walking on the steps, his face was shocked, and then he walked down the steps quickly, bowing his head.

"Less, less master? It's really you! Subordinate Zheng Zong see the young master"

Yang Fan showed a flat smile and replied,

"This young master has been missing for the past few days, Zheng City Lord is worried, get up quickly!"

Zheng Zong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately welcomed Yang Fan into the main hall, and Yang Fan sat with Zheng Zong at the top.

Zheng Zong first ordered his subordinates to look at the tea, then got up and stood at the bottom of the steps, and immediately knelt down!

"His subordinate Zheng Zong didn't take good care of him, and let the young master disappear for so many days, please punish the young master!"

Yang Fan didn't expect Zheng Zong to become so polite to himself, so he immediately got up and said,

"City Lord Zheng doesn't have to be like this, this thing is unexpected, and it's not your dereliction of duty, besides, don't you think I'm good?"

Zheng Zongcheng stood up in fear, looked at Yang Fan and asked,

"The young master has been missing for a few months, I don't know what happened, can you let your subordinates know a thing or two!"

Yang Fan didn't hide it, so he told what happened that night.

Hearing the masked man that Yang Fan said, Zheng Zong was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought of something.

It's just that Zheng Zong didn't dare to tell Yang Fan the identity and background of the masked man, after all, he was the city lord of the dignified Jiangyue City, and it would be embarrassing to say this, and it would leave a handle for the people in the city.

Zheng Zong could only pretend to be puzzled and said,

"That masked man must be an assassin sent by Yuwentu! However, since the young master has escaped from the dungeon, why don't you rush to Jiangyue City immediately, or write a letter to tell his subordinates. ”

Yang Fan lied,

"I was seriously injured, I was rescued by a mysterious person, and I have been healing for months, so I didn't tell you in time!"

Zheng Zong could only swallow the bitter water in his stomach, and at this moment he had to tell Yang Fan to let go of the dangerous situation facing the city.

Yang Fan stopped, immediately looked at Zheng Zongxiao and asked,

"I don't know how City Lord Zheng plans to deal with Wang Shichong and these people?"

Zheng Zong's eyes dodged, and then said,

"According to Wang Shichong's request, if you want us to hand over the young master, you and the city lord of Jiangyue City, Wang Shichong is too pressing, in the name of protecting the young master, in fact, he wants to hold the young master hostage and achieve his ulterior ambitions! I would rather the whole city die than hand over the young master! ”

Zheng Zong's words were serious, but the empty tone betrayed him.

Yang Fan pretended not to know, and then said sharply

"It's rare that the city lord Zheng has the heart of protecting the lord, but at the moment we have to face a battle with Wang Shichong, and I personally command the young lord of this battle, so I still need the city lord to hand over the city talisman to me, I don't know if the city lord can give it up?"

Hearing that Yang Fan was actually going to accept his own troop transfer tiger talisman, Zheng Zong was willing to agree, his face was full of embarrassment, and he said,

"The young master has not called the generals, this march and war will not bother the young master, the subordinates will definitely have some arrangements, the young master, please rest assured, the subordinates will definitely protect the safety of my young master this time!"

Yang Fan laughed instead of being angry,

"Hehe, City Lord Zheng is loyal, so with your arrangement, how does City Lord Zheng plan to retreat from the enemy?"

Zheng Zong's face was like ashes, he really didn't have any policy of retreating from the enemy now, after all, there was a big gap between his strength and Wang Shichong's army, plus he was isolated and helpless, Yuwentu and himself also tore their faces, and now they didn't even have a reinforcement.

After thinking for a while, Zheng Zong bowed his head and said,

"Refuse, refuse to ......"

Yang Fan sneered,

"If you just refuse to defend it, I'm afraid this city will be captured by Wang Shichong in two days, don't forget that this Jiangyue City is a plain, and there is no barrier behind you to protect it, you as the leader of the ten thousand armies, you won't know it!"

Yang Fan's words made Zheng Zong stunned, he looked up at Yang Fan and said,

"As the young master sees, how can we break the enemy!"

Yang Fan squeezed out two words in his mouth,

"Kaesong!"

"Kaesong? Wang Shichong's current army has at least 80,000 people, and there are only about 20,000 soldiers in my city. ”

Yang Fan shook his head and said,

"I'm afraid that City Lord Zheng doesn't know, there is another strategic place thirty miles south of Jiangyue City!"

Zheng Zong didn't understand Yang Fan's words, and hurriedly asked,

"Strategically located? What is the young master talking about? ”

Yang Fan smiled,

"Funiu Mountain!"

"Funiu Mountain? ……”

Zheng Zong said to himself, but he still didn't understand the meaning!

Seeing that Zheng Zong didn't know anything about the battle formation, Yang Fan didn't bother to explain, and said,

"Zheng Cheng mainly trusts the young master, so he will hand over the tiger talisman seal letter, as well as the roster of the generals, if you can't get rid of Wang Shichong's group, this young master will voluntarily go to Wang Shichong's where, and will ask for him, and will never drag down the city lord and the innocent people in the city!"

Hearing Yang Fan's words, Zheng Zong hesitated at the moment, although he planned to hand over Yang Fan and the city lord Great Seal directly, but this may not be able to ensure his personal safety, with his understanding of people like Wang Shichong, his fate will definitely not be good, but if Yang Fan, a fake young master, intercedes for himself, Zheng Zong feels down-to-earth in his heart.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zong immediately ordered his subordinates,

"Go and get the tiger talisman seal letter and the roster of the soldiers in the city, let the young master see it!"

The subordinate responded, but did not dare to refute, and immediately turned around and left the main hall and walked towards the inner room!

After a while, the subordinate walked over with the tiger talisman seal letter and the roster, and then handed it to Zheng Zong.

Zheng Zong turned out the things in his hands, and then knelt down on one knee and stretched out in front of Yang Fan, saying,

"Young master, the tiger talisman seal letter and other things are here, please take a look!"

Yang Fan took it and casually asked Zheng Zong to get up.

Glancing at the golden tiger talisman, Yang Fan cushioned its weight, it was not light, and if he went to the pawnshop, he could exchange it for a lot of silver taels.

However, the city lord Yang Fan didn't look at it, but opened the roster and looked at it.

The roster is full of red tape, but Yang Fan can recognize it almost the same, after all, there is nothing to recognize the name.

The roster recorded the number of infantry, archers, cavalry and sailors, as well as the details of the generals of each commander, Yang Fan didn't say a word, looked at the name on it and said to Zhang Heng not far away,

"General Zhang, please go and call a few leaders of the unified army on the list here, I will make a distribution!"

"Yes! ……”
