Wenlu.

Wen Zhijun looked at Kai Hao and said: "According to the information brought in by the relatively new prisoners who were exiled to the Colony Ghost City, the Moyuan Empire is bordered by the neighboring country Yan State, and it may invade Moyuan at any time, the military strength of the Yan State far exceeds that of Moyuan, and the current emperor Ming Yi of Moyuan may be most worried about this stone hanging over his head every day, and the border between Yan and Moyuan is not far from the entrance of Colony Hidden City, Yan Country has always had the ambition to control Colony Hidden City, in this situation, if you are the emperor or the commander of the legion, what will you think?"

Kai Hao thought for a while and said: "I will recruit a large number of troops in the Colony City, and promise that as long as the Yan Kingdom is defeated, I will pardon all the soldiers and their families who serve the country, and allow them to return to Moyuan outside the Colony City."

Wen Zhijun smiled and said, "This is a good way." However, this is based on the fact that you were born in the Colony City, so you will think so, in the eyes of the people in the outside world, the Colony City is a city of sin, and the people in it are all criminals or descendants of criminals, and they may not do this. ”

Kai Xuan said: "If they are unwilling to do this, Mo Yuan will definitely be defeated by the Yan State, in order to strengthen the military strength and continue to control the Colony City, will the Empire transfer the soldiers of the Colony City in advance to fight against the Yan Country? ”

Wen Zhijun nodded and said, "It's possible." So what will happen. ”

Kai Yu thought for a while and said, "Without the suppression of the army, the city will be even more chaotic, and there will be bandits who violate the ban and use long-range weapons?"

Wen Zhijun said: "For the time being, it is impossible to be sure, but there is no change in the barracks at present, and the bandits have not found any signs of making long-range weapons." But it's also possible that your guess will come up soon. ”

Liu Dan said: "Kai Hao has made a suggestion to secretly develop long-range crossbow arrows, but the five-member regiment is afraid of crossing the red line, after all, once discovered, the whole village will suffer. ”

Wen Zhijun said: "It's understandable, so what should you do if the bandits use long-range weapons to attack Shuikou Village?"

Chen Meng said: "Then we will definitely not be able to defend the village." ”

Wen Zhijun said: "If you can't hold it, it will be difficult for Shuikou Village to live as comfortably as it is now, and it is not a question of how many people die after being controlled by bandits, but that all villagers will live under the oppression of bandit forces." ”

Kai Hao said: "Elder Wen, do you mean that we must find a way to resolve this crisis, and there can be no failure. ”

Liu Dan frowned and said, "If the other party is five thousand, what should we do?"

Wen Zhijun looked at her and said, "Liu Dan, this information is very reliable, but you can only know it yourself, and then come up with the best solution, and you can't let more people know the identity of Hook City." ”

Liu Dan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can't the other four five-person group elders believe it either?"

Wen Zhijun said: "Human nature is far more complex than we imagine, you can't say they can't be trusted, but at the most critical juncture, for various reasons, many people and things will change. ”

Liu Dan looked at Kai Hao and Chen Meng and said, "Elder, then the three of us are worthy of your absolute trust?"

Wen Zhijun looked at Kai Hao with a smile and said, "What do you think?"

Kai Hao was actually very confused in his heart, but since Wen Zhijun was asking, he had no choice but to say, "Perhaps, when the scope is small enough, the risk is controllable, and Elder Wen has estimated the risk." And if we spread this information again, we may face an uncontrollable situation. ”

Elder Wen smiled and was noncommittal.

Liu Dan nodded and said, "Kai Hao, think about whether there is a countermeasure." ”

Wen Zhijun said to the three of them, "What do you think is the most important thing at the moment?"

Chen Meng saw Wen Zhijun staring at him, so he had to scratch his hair and say, "Shouldn't we hurry up and do a good job of the defense project?"

Wen Zhijun looked at Liu Dan with a smile, and Liu Dan's beautiful face also showed a hint of hesitation, and said, "Increase the number of soldiers and train quickly?"

Wen Zhijun said: "What you two said can indeed be done now, and it is also useful, what do you think?"

"Hurry up and form a secret mobile unit, and then, make long-range crossbow arrows and equip them with mobile troops, but only use this mobile unit at the most critical moment in the village, and until then, all long-range weapons are stored in the safest arsenal in the inner city." If you do this, you may be discovered by the military camp and the whole village will be expelled from the mine, which is too costly, so it cannot be used until the last minute. If the bandits invade the inner city, they will loot the entire village, and it seems a bit inappropriate to worry about being expelled from the mine at this time. It's tangled. ”

Wen Zhijun said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult to choose, Wan Zhiwen should be able to create a five-shot crossbow arrow with stable performance, and the range should be more than twenty meters, which is suitable for fighting in the village, so you might as well develop it first and make a thousand spare." Otherwise, even if the mobile unit chooses to form with 500 people, it will definitely not be able to fight against the bandits of 5,000 people with knives and guns. ”

Kai Hao unconsciously said with a change in his mind: "Elder Wen, you mean to prepare first, if once the troops in the military camp are transferred out of the colony city, then the bandits may use long-range weapons, if we prepare early, we will not fall into a passive situation at that time." ”

Wen Zhijun said: "Once bandits also start to use long-range weapons, then the advantage of 500 mobile troops in using crossbow arrows will be weakened, how to solve it, you can consider all of this." Okay, let's talk about it today, you can take Xiao Yan back to the village together, and talk about it next time. ”

Lei Xuemei saw the little bamboo cat, she couldn't put it down, and chose the white one for herself, Wen Xiaoyan and Kai Hao had no choice but to agree.

Wen Xiaoyan rarely left Wenlu to live in Shuikou Village for a few days, she knew that her grandfather could take good care of herself, so she didn't have anything to worry about, happily packed a large bag of clothes and supplies, and went down the mountain with Liu Dan and others, Wen Zhijun stood at the door of Wenlu with a smile and watched them walk down the stone steps.

Chen Meng carried Wen Xiaoyan's package on his back, holding a small bamboo cat in each of his arms, Wen Xiaoyan, Lei Xuemei, and Kai Hao also each held a small bamboo cat, and the big bamboo cat was left in Wenlu by Wen Xiaoyan and asked Wen Zhijun to feed her.

The five of them laughed and went down the mountain to the Snow Dragon Pond.

Wen Xiaoyan and Liu Dan, Kai Hao, and Lei Xuemei sat in the same car, and Chen Meng still sat in another chariot with a few guards and returned to Shuikou Village together.

Lei Xuemei sat with Wen Xiaoyan in her arms, and Kai Hao sat next to Liu Dan.

Lei Xuemei gently stroked the little white bamboo cat she was holding in her arms with her hand, and said with a smile, "Aunt Dan, what confidential matter did you talk to Elder Wen about just now? ”

Liu Dan smiled and said, "You said it was confidential and asked." ”

Lei Xuemei pouted slightly and said, "It's not fair, Kai Hao and Chen Meng can know it, why can't I know." ”
