As the night deepened, the Imperial City suddenly became silent, and the originally brightly lit Imperial City slowly became pitch black. Only the entire palace is still as bright as day, and occasionally there is some laughter.

The banquet, which was already nearing the end, continued strangely, which made the atmosphere of the whole banquet gradually become weird, looking at the guests in front of him who were unwilling to leave, the corners of Lao Jiu's mouth slowly raised a trace of ridicule.

Under Lao Jiu's hint, Long Sifeng also left the palace early, speaking of which, now the rest is only Lao Jiu's person in charge, and the rest are some subordinates, as well as heralds.

"Hehe, you are reluctant to leave, there must be something, you want to discuss it with Lao Jiu, you might as well say it happily, so that Lao Jiu and I can listen to it." Seeing the second half of the night, Lao Jiu was no longer hypocritical, and said directly.

The reception hall, which was still noisy, became quiet at the moment when Lao Jiu's words came out, and even everyone's expressions seemed to become a little serious.

"Hehe, since the ninth master asked, I'll talk about it first." With a long laugh, the first person to stand up and speak turned out to be the Southern Barbarian Tiger of the Tiger Gang.

"Oh? I don't know what Master Tiger has to say? Lao Jiu pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just reckless, I want to beg for food in front of the ninth master, manage and manage the shops in the imperial city or something." Nanban Tiger smiled and said very casually.

"Haha, if you do it again, you are all a big man, do you want to do things under my old nine? This is a bit of a discount on Lao Jiu's life. Lao Jiu looked around at everyone and said with a haha.

"Where is the ninth master, I just think that the ninth master is very hard to take care of the huge foundation, so I want to share it for the ninth master." Nanban Tiger hugged Lao Jiu and said.

"If you have any ideas, why don't you all say them, Lao Jiu, I should think about it together?" Lao Jiu looked at everyone, and said with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

"The ninth master has such a big appetite, aren't you afraid to hold on?" At this time, Feng Wuxi, who was sitting next to Nanban Tiger, looked at the wine glass in his hand and said lightly.

"Oh? It seems that some time ago, the Green Gang lost ground, and the future is worrying, are you two ready to change jobs? Lao Jiu looked at the two and pretended to be surprised.

As soon as Lao Jiu's words came out, everyone present looked at Lin Dong, making him frown tightly. Although he was assassinated by Lao Jiu once, after a few months of chasing, it is estimated that his level has reached level forty or above again.

"It seems that the Ninth Master knows a lot, and he manages a huge foundation, I am worried that the Ninth Master will not be able to do it, so I want to help the Ninth Master, but it seems that I don't appreciate it." Lin Dong looked at Lao Jiu and said coldly.

For these people who are mixed up behind their backs, when they speak, there are naturally fewer twists and turns, so Lin Dong's words are already very straightforward.

"Haha, Boss Lin has a lot of worries. It seems that everyone here thinks this way. Lao Jiu looked around at everyone for a week, smiled mockingly, and then changed his temperament, and said domineeringly, "A small imperial city, I don't care about Lao Jiu, what I care about is that from now on, there will be one more free empire in the game!" ”

"Looking at all of you here, they are all considered to be heroes, although Lao Jiu is not talented, but he is not an easy person. I'm going to put the words here today, I'm willing to be friends with my Lao Jiu, my Lao Jiu eats and drinks well, if you want to snatch food from my Lao Jiu's mouth, then I'm sorry, my Lao Jiu will accompany me to the end! ”

"Ninth Brother is domineering!" At this time, Tang Long gave Lao Jiu a thumbs up, and then said seriously, "It's a pity that I can't help myself, brother, if the ninth brother is willing to hand over the Xiaoyao Basin, I can represent everyone present and give the ninth brother an explanation to ensure that the ninth brother is satisfied." ”

"Hehe, Brother Tang doesn't need to be tempted, after this incident, it is when the Empire is established, Lao Jiu and I have made up my mind, if you have any tricks, then use them to your heart's content, and my Lao Jiu will follow!" Lao Jiu smiled and said domineeringly.

"Does the ninth brother know the current situation?" Tang Long looked at Lao Jiu and asked seriously.

"Oh? Brother Tang might as well talk about it? Lao Jiu looked at Tang Long and said suspiciously.

"Ninth brother, do you know how many people and horses were used in order to escape the basin this time?" Tang Long looked at Lao Jiu and said seriously, "There are more than two million people in the major gangs alone, and I know that in the eyes of Brother Jiu, these rangers and stragglers cannot play a decisive role. ”

"But the major gangs also have their own regular troops, and there are currently 500,000 elite soldiers in the Imperial City, and 500,000 elite soldiers in ambush outside the city. In addition, outside the Longkou Fortress, there are 100,000 elite soldiers in Huaxia. ”

"This is just to take the Xiaoyao Basin, I know that Yuanlu City is also the ninth brother's, and the soldiers who attack Yuanlu City will not be less than 300,000, and there is the only way for Huaxia to go north, Nantianmen!"

"These are all dead tasks from above, and I also know that the ninth brother has hole cards, but in the face of such a multifaceted attack, how many troops can the ninth brother have in his hands to resist? As far as I know, the strength in the hands of the ninth brother is only five or six hundred thousand. ”

"Maybe this is very different from the real strength of the ninth brother, even if the ninth brother has a million elite soldiers, but I don't know how the ninth brother will deal with it? As long as it misses one place, I think the result is not what the ninth brother wants to see. ”

"It seems that you have also taken great pains to take the Xiaoyao Basin!" Lao Jiu listened to it and couldn't help but sigh. Then he looked at Tang Long and continued.

"Cao Cao famously said: If you want to win others, you must first be invincible! I'm confident in myself, I don't know what you're going to do with me? Hehe...... Maybe you don't even know what I'm capable of. ”

Listening to Lao Jiu's mocking laughter, Tang Long frowned, and then said, "We are the ones who contain the Ninth Brother, is the Ninth Brother overconfident?" ”

"The soldiers are fine but not many, and they will be planning but not brave! Ladies and gentlemen, I'll show you what an elite soldier is! What is a strategy! When Lao Jiu said the first sentence, he was still in front of everyone.

But when Lao Jiu's second sentence just fell, the person arrived at the door of the main hall. When everyone just turned their eyes, they only saw a flashing figure, and then Lao Jiu disappeared, leaving only the second half of the sentence echoing in the air!

"Looks like he's really level seventy!" Tang Long muttered to himself, then turned his head and asked a middle-aged man behind him, "Can you restrain him?" ”

"I've just reached seventy, I see that his speed is several times faster than mine, and it is estimated that the level is higher, and he is also a practitioner, and his martial arts talent is very high, this kind of person is the most difficult to deal with, and it is difficult to contain him!" The middle-aged man frowned and said with some solemnity.

"In each of our gangs, there are still one or two level seventy masters, and when the time comes, we won't believe that we can't contain him alone!" Lin Dong said with some unconvinced.

"It's not a matter of holding him back, it's that we also need to cooperate inside and outside to take down the walls of Easy City. Without the cooperation of top players, it is almost impossible to take down the city wall! Tang Long said with a frown.

"There are millions of our men in the city, even if it is stormed, we will definitely be able to climb the city wall!" Hongmen Gate Master Wan Lihong said.

"Lao Jiu, Lao Jiu, I really underestimated you!" At this moment, Tang Long's face changed, and he said to himself!

"What's wrong? Could something have changed? Yun Zhongyue, the leader of the Blue Ocean Guild, asked.

"The four city gates are all sealed, and the stairs on the city wall in the city have all been demolished, all we saw before were temporary stairs built for the convenience of building the city wall, the city wall of the entire imperial city, there is no place to kick the wall from the outside!" Tang Long said helplessly.

"Isn't that? I have cut off my own back road, we can besiege but not attack, see what they do! Chen Mingming, the leader of the Salt Gang, said.

"I'm afraid that others will besiege and not attack, and the two million people we have in the city will really become turtles in the urn!" Tang Long glanced at Chen Mingming and said disdainfully, "Don't forget, there is a teleportation array in the game. ”

"I'll you, is Lao Jiu so extravagant?" Chen Mingming shouted with a glare.

"It's not a matter of money, it's called strategic investment!" Tang Long glanced at Chen Mingming like an idiot and said, "Let's find a way to solve our grain and grass problem first, it is estimated that in the entire imperial city, the remaining grain and grass will be enough for us to hold out for a day or two." ”

"Then let's discuss it and what to do next." Yun Zhongyue looked at everyone and said.

Just when Tang Long and the others were discussing important matters in the banquet hall, Lao Jiu also arrived at Longkou Fortress, and he immediately convened the main generals of Longkou Fortress and held an emergency meeting. In the past, there was no official legion stationed in Longkou Fortress.

But then Lao Jiu transferred the Iron Blood Legion. Now in Xiaoyao City, Lao Jiu is not worried about any changes, mainly because of the Xiaoyao Basin, the Xiaoyao Basin is too big, and the troops in the basin are too weak.

Lao Jiu is most worried about the loss of Longkou Fortress, Tang Long said that outside Longkou Fortress, there are 100,000 Chinese elite soldiers, Lao Jiu estimates that this is just a conservative number, so the two major armies in the northeast and northwest still have to stay outside.

Having the Predator Legion to defend it should be enough, and the only thing to worry about is an attack from within. After thinking about it, Lao Jiu had no choice but to transfer the White Tiger Legion and ambush it north of the Xiaoyao River, and then transferred 25,000 people from Qilin Pass and the Grand Canyon to guard the south of the Xiaoyao River.

The troops in other places did not move for the time being, and then sent the Dark Night Legion to comprehensively collect the military movements in various places, especially the enemy situation between the Imperial City and the Xiaoyao Granary, as well as the movements of the major gangs and armies in the basin, and finally the movements of the elite soldiers in China outside the fortress.
