In Shi Huan's incredulous gaze, Guan Jue had already sent out all the platoons of the Eastern Wilderness Army. Eight hundred people fell into such a large area as Xuanshan Province, it was like throwing a handful of sand into the sea, and they disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And Guan Jue was only left with a class of twenty people, and the whole valley was suddenly empty. The 4,000 men who had been captured in the valley had already been sent out by them. The order given to them was simply painful, and they were to go to the imperial capital on foot, and they were not allowed to leak the news.

Because the identity has been entered into the system, there are records in the imperial capital, if someone finds out that they escaped halfway, or leaked the news, don't even think about escaping. In particular, Guan Jue also said that ordinary soldiers were exiled if they made a mistake, and the squad leader and above were directly shot.

Special policies at special moments, of course, they believe that Guan Jue has such decision-making power. So the person who originally planned to report to the Pan family completely broke off this plan. At least Guan Jue wants to kill them, whether the Pan family will never be able to save it, or whether it matters to a small life.

Of course, Shi Wan didn't believe that these people were absolutely able to keep secrets, but Guan Jue was not worried at all, but said: "I stopped these people at the beginning, just to change the situation in Xuanshan Province. Now that the division is acting decisively, the five major families are ready to fly, what is the difference between knowing and not? ”

4,000 people, in such a chaotic situation, is just more or less.

Pan Yu and Pan Wei really received a report from the dark line in this team the next day, and sure enough, after receiving the news, Pan Yu pondered for a long time, and after all, he still did not let this team change its route, but continued to go in the direction of the imperial capital.

"Now we only have one regiment of troops left, and the ones we took away before are already all the forces on the periphery of our Pan family." Pan Yu said.

Pan Wei nodded: "The key to victory or defeat now lies between the feint attack and the actual attack, if we can unite the people of the other three families to resist the interception of the division family in Longkou River, we can ensure the safety of our back road." But that will inevitably lead to the other three sharing our interests and using our back road to become their back road. ”

"Then we'll do it!" Shuhong said fiercely.

"Absolutely not?" Pan Wei asked with a smile.

Pan Yu nodded: "Yes, do this thing absolutely!" Didn't the old guys of the division family plan to use the feints from outside to get us into our pockets? Since uniting the other three families is destined to be used by them, we might as well use them first. ”

"Oh?" Pan Wei had the intention to train them, and looked like he was listening attentively: "How to use it?" ”

A sinister smile appeared on Pan Yu's face.

At this time, Guan Jue had already changed into ordinary clothes with the remaining squad of soldiers and came to a small city. The people of Donghuang are simple in appearance and good-looking, and they have not long been recruited into the army, so these soldiers are no different from ordinary people after changing into regular clothes.

Even if they were carrying huge marching bags on their backs, at this time, many people were running towards the outside of Xuanshan Province, and there were many backpackers on the street. There are all kinds of backpacks, and of course there are many replicas of sturdy and durable marching bags, but they are not so conspicuous.

On the contrary, Shi Ting and Shi Wan are more conspicuous, a man and a woman, the woman is quite beautiful, and she didn't even bring a change of clothes on her body, which is a big mistake at first glance. Now that the consumption of daily necessities and accommodation in Xuanshan Province has been raised by more than one grade, how many people are still in urgent need?

There are even a lot of people sleeping on the streets with tents on the side of the road, and no one is in the mood to go out anyway, the park square is all occupied, and it is densely packed with tents and crowds as far as the eye can see. And the cars parked on the side of the road also extend to the street, and they can't be seen disappearing until the end.

Guan Jue took them to another star-rated hotel, because the price was expensive but there were not many people, and when they saw a guest coming to the door, the lobby manager had to laugh. Hurriedly greeted and entertained in person, Guan Jue booked a room for the two of them very generously, and the price made Shi Wan feel a toothache.

But it's useless to have a toothache, they have to book a room after all, and they have to book two. After paying for a week, the lobby manager personally sent them upstairs and found their room.

Shi Wan couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have so much money?" ”

Guan Jue smiled and shook his terminal, Shi Wan saw that the above display was a consumption Unicom account, this kind of account is mostly seen in families and enterprises, usually through Unicom main storage account, only the ability to consume, no ability to access and transfer.

Looking at the name of the Unicom account, Shi Wan said in surprise: "You were raised by An Xiaoyu?" ”

"Do you not want to live anymore or do I not want to live anymore?" Guan Jue said helplessly: "Although I am leading this operation, the Eastern Wilderness Army is still An Xiaoyu after all, and the action fund empire has not been approved, but An Xiaoyu has never been short of money!" ”

"So you're squandering?" Shi Wan has never been kind of people who enjoy this kind of public funds.

Guan Jue smiled: "If you don't understand, don't speak, I'm also thinking about the task." ”

Task? Shi Wan had yet to ask again, but Guan Jue had already turned around and walked into his room with Xilai, and then closed the door, obviously not wanting to talk to her anymore. Shi Wan suddenly became angry, she knew that she was not qualified to continue to ask, but this made her more curious.

Shi Ting couldn't help but remind: "He just wants to upset us and speculate to cover up his true purpose." ”

Shi Wan said angrily: "Can I not know?!" ”

After speaking, he glared at Shi Ting fiercely, turned around and walked towards his room, and closed the door hard. Shi Ting stood outside for a while, touched the tip of his nose, and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he went back to his room stupidly, and tested Shi Wan's tone again when he was preparing dinner.

He didn't know that Shi Wan, who returned to the room, sat down on the sofa at the door, waited for three minutes and didn't see him come over to apologize, and couldn't help but throw the sofa cushions everywhere, muttering something in the innermost, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

Guan Jue poured himself a glass of wine and stood in front of the window, where they were on the twentieth floor, which was almost the highest place in this small city. Ascending high and looking into the distance, he still holds a wine glass in his hand, and he doesn't know how chic. But Guan Jue's face was not a little relaxed, but frowned.

Xilai had already walked around the entire room with Baizi, and did not find any monitoring equipment, so he inserted a military memory card into the socket of the optical screen projector, and after a while, he called up the map of the city, of course, a military map.

Guan Jue took two sips of wine and relaxed his body, looked down at the city below and the rolling river in the distance, seemed to have a bottom in his heart, cautiously closed the curtains, and then turned around and walked into the room, looked at the map projected on the wall, and discussed with Xilai.

Shi Wan waited for a long time without waiting for news from Shi Ting, and finally became frustrated, lying on the bed with a pillow in her arms, only feeling that nothing had gone well recently. Originally, he planned to use some tricks in the family, but he was first cut off by the Elder Hall, then by An Xiaoyu and Guan Jue, and finally by his eldest brother.

In addition, An Xiaoyu didn't seem to want to meet her sincerely at all, Guan Jue restricted himself everywhere, and Shi Ting was a guy who didn't understand the amorous feelings......

How come the unlucky people have been bumped into by themselves?

Burying her face in the pillow, Shi Wan snorted twice in annoyance, and finally sighed. Fortunately, now there is nothing to fight for, and there is nothing to lose. She looked at the ceiling and gradually fell into deep thought.

After the frustration, Shi Wan habitually thought about it, what is the intention of Guan Jue and Xi to come here? She also used the projection screen of the terminal to open the map of the city, and the satellite map was drawn quite clearly, allowing her to see the whole city.

But at first glance, she didn't see anything special about this city. The terrain can be attacked, retreated, and defended, but there must be a reason why it has not become a military town. Shi Wan opened the 3,000 library and began to search for information about the city.

"Surplus ...... Surplus ...... Surplus ...... Pregnant! Shi Wan found the entry of Chuyu City, clicked on it, and sure enough, she found the reason why Chuyu did not become a military stronghold.

The surplus, as the name suggests, is the place where the water overflows.

It is the ancient name of the Longkou River, and the entire Longkou River is not called the water. The city was flood-prone before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even for a long time after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Xuanshan Province is close to the sea, and the precipitation in the whole province is very abundant, but because there are many mines in the province, many mountains actually do not store water. It is difficult for precipitation to penetrate into the ground, so it can only be discharged from above-ground rivers into the South China Sea.

The low terrain of the remnants is the end point of the rapid decline in the height of the first section of the river after the Longkou River enters Xuanshan Province, so there is often a accumulation of river water here. In addition, because the land near the surplus is located in the center of the mine, it is formed by the accumulation of sand and soil downstream for tens of thousands of years, so the soil is very loose.

The city has been prone to flooding since ancient times, especially since the rainy season is almost always a flood season. The abundant rainfall, low-lying terrain, and the accumulation of water potential on the Longkou River in Xuanshan Province combined with the already loose geology make it a nightmare place.

If it weren't for the communication between the two sides of the Longkou River here, I'm afraid there would be no appearance of this city.

It was not until more than 3,000 years ago that the empire built a reservoir on the high slopes of the upper reaches of the Longkou River, which intercepted the surging water of the Longkou River and ensured the safety of the surplus. At that time, the empire had largely stabilized and did not continue to expand the coverage of its military bases frantically.

In addition, there is Meigang in the lower reaches of the Longkou River, and there are other important military towns around, and the soil here is not suitable for the establishment of alpine territory, so it has completely become a small city that no one loves, and it has been quietly developed to this day, preserving the function of communicating between the two sides of the strait.

Seeing this, Shi Wan couldn't help but wonder, what conspiracy did Guan Jue have in this small city with no military value at all? She couldn't help but think that whether coming to the surplus was the *** for herself or for others, the purpose of the timing was actually around the surplus.

Thinking of this, Shi Wan called up the surrounding map again, but she didn't find any cities that might be related to the current situation, and she couldn't help but be even more depressed. Putting down the terminal, Shi Wan lay on the bed, only to find that the sun outside had begun to set.

Remembering the knock on the door, Shi Ting shouted outside: "Fifth Miss, go down to eat?" ”

"Humph!" Shi Wan snorted softly, but still said, "Wait for me!" ”

Shi Ting stopped talking, and Shi Wan walked to the bathroom, cleaned up her makeup, and changed into beautiful clothes. The previous one was a long coat and trousers for the convenience of marching, but now that she is in the city, of course Shi Wan will not continue to wear that kind of clothes.

Because she is a trainee lecturer in the university, Shihuan's regular clothes are more clean and neat. Dressed in a black-and-white gradient short-sleeved coat, white cropped pants, shoes with a small high heel, and a ponytail at the back of her head, she looks capable.

looked at the little beauty in the mirror, Shi Wan raised her fist to cheer herself up, and then pushed the door and walked out, and saw Shi Ting standing outside the door.

In fact, she doesn't particularly care about the man who is almost four times her age outside the door, but on the surface, she really can't see that Shiting is so old, and she is not a fool. Since Shi Ting has a good impression of herself, she doesn't think this person is annoying, plus they are all a family, the living environment is similar, and Shi Ting is also the number one master of the family, no matter how you think about it, you can try to contact it, so she has a little snack.

Shi Wan made excuses for herself like this, and saw Guan Jue and them also coming out of the room, their eyes lazy as if they had just woken up.

Yawned, Guan Jue looked at the two of them and couldn't help laughing: "Ha! Is An Xiaoyu a god of marriage? How can people around her appear in pairs? ”

Shi Wan shrugged the tip of her nose and didn't say anything. On the contrary, Shi Ting was not disgusted at all, and asked, "Are you going to eat?" It's better to ...... together. Uh......"

Before he finished speaking, the surface of his foot was stepped on by Shi Huan, which was not very painful, but he also understood what Shi Wan meant. So he had to smile at Guan Jue and them, and didn't continue to invite them again. It's already miscalculated during the day, and you can't mess it up at night.

Guan Jue looked at their appearance, waved his hand and said, "Forget it! I went to have a barbecue with Xilai in the evening, and I heard that the leftover roast mutton was a must, so I went to see it tonight. ”

The surplus mutton is really good, the pasture grass on the sandy plain grows very abundantly, and the surplus mutton is also well-known in the surrounding area. But because of this, the price of mutton is very expensive, usually half more expensive than elsewhere, let alone now.

Shi Wan glanced at these two people with disdain, said in her heart that she was eating and drinking at public expense, flicked her ponytail, and went downstairs. Guan Jue and Xilai looked at each other and smiled, and went down from the elevator on the other side, without following them all the way.

"These two guys who eat and drink at public expense!" Shi Wan looked at the expensive price list of the hotel restaurant, she really couldn't bear to order, although she was born in the Shi family, but when she grew up, she rarely took the family's money, with her apprenticeship salary level, it was really a bit unbearable.

Shi Ting took the initiative to take out the terminal, and after ordering the food, he persuaded him: "Guan Jue's behavior has always been unpredictable, and he is better than Shaozun, otherwise the empire will not rest assured that this matter will be handed over to him." And An Xiaoyu is indeed rich, so I guess I don't take this to heart......"

Shi Wan didn't continue to mess around with Shi Ting, and she was not a child: "Anyway, I despise this kind of person!" And not with their brothers! I'm afraid I'm not worried about the money! ”

Shi Ting was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he didn't see the group of people left by Guan Jue at all, he and Shi Wan had been in the room all afternoon, if Guan Jue and Xilai really slept with their heads covered for half a day, there was no reason why these people would leave the hotel!

But apparently, these people are really no longer in the hotel.

Thinking of this, Shi Ting couldn't help but say, "Guan Jue must have come here for a purpose, but we haven't seen it yet." Sleeping, barbecuing, and spending public money should all be false impressions for us, so that we can't see the real purpose behind it. ”

Shi Wan suddenly became interested: "Then we might as well go find them at night!" ”

Shi Ting nodded subconsciously: "Okay, most of the surplus barbecue restaurants are in the open air by the river, and the waterfront walkway by the river and these empty fields can be used as buffer zones during the flood season, and it is also a good place to take a walk at ordinary times, and we ...... it at night."

Speaking of this, Shi Ting suddenly thought, isn't this kind of thing a waterfront road a place for young couples and old husbands and wives to take a walk together at night? Looking up and quietly glancing at Shi Huan, he saw a pair of eyes with doubts, and couldn't help but be embarrassed.

"Ahem......" he quickly coughed dryly, explaining, "I mean, you can see the barbecue stalls in the open field along the waterfront promenade, and if you can't find it, you should take it away." The pressure on Miss Five is not small these days, and it is not bad to take the opportunity to relax. ”

Shi Wan nodded with satisfaction: "Okay! Just listen to you. ”

Shi Ting suddenly felt very happy, and the speed of eating was also a lot faster, seeing that Shi Wan was very helpless, and his heart was really simple-minded. But it's good to be simple-minded, so it feels good. After the sun set, the two of them went out of the hotel and walked along the waterfront promenade.

There are a lot of people gathered here, and the barbecue in the evening is relatively much cheaper than other places, and some people with small assets certainly don't let themselves suffer. As a result, the open space by the river was not occupied by tents, but was much more prosperous than usual.

Shi Wan and Shi Ting walked by the river for a while, and sure enough, they found Guan Jue and Xilai. The two of them were eating meat and drinking wine and chatting at the stalls on the shore, as if they were very hilarious, and it didn't look like there was any conspiracy at all. At their side, along with their twenty brothers.

The two of them glanced at each other, although they couldn't see anything unusual about them, but they had already noticed that behind Guan Jue's calmness, there must be some conspiracy hidden.

Shi Wan pulled Shi Ting's hand: "I don't believe that he can calculate, I can't see it!" Let's go and find out what the secret is! ”

Shi Ting's heart was flustered, and he felt like a scorpion crawling on his hand.
