"So on the border near Sand City, are there any other important cities?" Ruan Mianmian pondered, it seemed that there was no bigger city than Sand City all the way.

"No more. Their purpose was to bypass Shacheng and drive straight into the Central Plains, and further approach the capital. Lu Gui said, he immediately asked people to lead the horse, took Zhu Enfei on the horse, and told the others to stay well, he was going to tell the loyal and brave generals on the front line the news, and he also had to appear in time to stabilize the army's heart.

Fang Cannon and Vice General Cao couldn't sit still, and before they had time to say goodbye, they hurried out of the city through the gate on the other side, reminding the garrisons outside not to rush to support Shacheng, if it was really as they guessed, then the ambition of the barbarians was not just to surround a sand city.

"What about us, what about our team?" Ruan Bai was a child after all, although he didn't see the overwhelming barbarian soldiers sweeping in with his own eyes, but when he heard them speak, he knew that the situation was already very serious, and he couldn't help but be a little nervous.

"There is no way to get out of the city for the time being, let the team wait in place, protect us when necessary, I think the news of the siege of the barbarian army will soon reach the ears of the people, now immediately send someone to urge, the goods we ordered must be sent in time, otherwise Shacheng will be in chaos, and you may not even get half of it." Mu Ruqing paced back and forth, thinking about how to let his people retreat in this accident.

"Not only do we have to wait in place, but we also have to let our people enter the General's Mansion, so that all the teams gather around the General's Mansion, if there are sneaky snooping on them, they will all be taken into custody, and the rest of the people will go directly to control all the family members, men, women and children will all be detained and sent special personnel to monitor, and no communication with the outside world is allowed." Ruan Mianmian's round apricot eyes were extremely upright at the moment, and she no longer had the gentleness and tenderness she used to have, she knew that this was by no means the county lord's mansion where she could be carefree, but a battlefield like a black hole.

"Why is that?" Liu Xin'er didn't know what to do, and turned her head suspiciously, "If we do this, won't the general come back and turn his face with us?" ”

"No, he's sensible, and I'm saving him by doing this." Ruan Mianmian continued to add, "After the situation in the General's Mansion was controlled, he immediately got the general's seal, wrote a notice and distributed propaganda everywhere, saying that the general had discovered the identity of the general's wife, killed his relatives for the country and the people, and had killed the general's wife with his own hands, and had nothing to do with her from now on, and then swore loyalty to the monarch to protect the country and fight the barbarians." “

"I still don't understand, the general's wife is obviously not dead in the barracks now, but we want to say that he is dead, wouldn't it be a bad thing to spread it to the ears of the barbarians outside." Liu Xin'er frowned.

"I have my own reasons for doing this, I think Brother Mu will understand, this is what he told me, set up a person." Ruan Mianmian paused and organized his language.

"Personality?" Everyone was confused.

"It's a character design," Mu Ruqing nodded approvingly, "The so-called character design is to deliberately create an image for a certain person, and make a good image for him in the hearts of the people who can't contact him and understand him, just like our majesty, his character is to be diligent and love the people, as for his extravagant pleasure in the palace or watching plays and listening to music, people outside will not understand." ”

"Then why do we want to set up a person for the general?"

"You guys just heard it, those barbarians said that the general's wife is the sister of the barbarian leader, that is, the princess of their barbarians, so isn't the general the nominal son-in-law of the barbarians? If the barbarians find someone to make a fuss and spread some rumors after the war, then Shacheng itself will be in civil strife, and the people will not let the barbarians' sons-in-law command the battlefield, and the three armies will be leaderless, and it will become a plate of scattered sand. Mu Ruqing quietly analyzed.

"Therefore, we must strike first and set up the general's people to avoid civil strife, and we must also cut off the minds of the barbarians, so that they cannot contain Shacheng, and can also provide more time for the main battlefield to maneuver."

"This is not enough, if the barbarians really release other news to confuse the public, someone needs to be able to calm the scene and make everyone believe it. It is better to add another sentence to the announcement, saying that the lord of Jingshu and the concubine temporarily serve as the supervisor of the army before the formation and handle the affairs of Shacheng, and the general is only responsible for commanding the enemy in front of the battle. Jiang Xinyue made up her mind and spoke firmly.

"No, sister, you obviously know that being in power in Shacheng at this time is standing on the cusp, I'm afraid that as soon as this news is released, someone will beat your idea." Ruan Mianmian's eyes widened, and he eagerly grabbed Jiang Xinyue's hand, which was obviously the hand of a county lord, but there were calluses left by practicing martial arts on his fingertips, which were slender and thick to the touch.

"Mianmian, I have been practicing martial arts for many years, and if the situation is urgent, I can still go into battle to kill the enemy, and I am your sister, and the royal relatives present are the only two of us who have nothing to do with other countries, if I don't go, do I want to push you out? Be obedient,"

Ruan Mianmian blinked, forcibly held back the tears rolling in his eyes, and then immediately got up, "Let's go, without further ado, gather people and horses and enter the General's Mansion." ”

The opening of more than 1,000 accompanying soldiers did not attract the attention of others in the barracks, firstly, everyone knew that this was a soldier from the capital, not under the jurisdiction of Shacheng, and secondly, the situation in Shacheng was critical at this time, and the orders passed down from above were one after another, and no one could look at the movements of others.

Therefore, Ruan Mianmian and the others quickly took the soldiers to the General's Mansion, without stopping at all, and directly asked people to raise the guard, break open the gate of the General's Mansion, and thousands of soldiers divided labor and cooperated, occupying the entire General's Mansion in an instant, and according to the command of Mu Ruqing and Jiang Xinyue, they began to deploy and assign patrols and stick to the task in an orderly manner.

"What are you going to do! Get out of my house, get out! My father was guarding the walls outside, and that's how you treated the soldiers who went into battle! Lily of the valley rushed into the study of the general's mansion, and saw Ruan Mianmian and the others holding the general's seal to change something, so she was angry, and immediately rushed over to grab the general's seal in her arms, and sat on the ground and refused to let go.

The two soldiers behind followed behind, and they were a little flustered and said forgively: "The county lord forgives me, we didn't take a good look at her, let her run out!" ”

Ruan Mianmian raised his eyes to look at the soldier, and a bloody whip mark on his hand was oozing blood, which seemed to be a new injury.

"Let's go down and find a military doctor to take care of the wound." Ruan Mianmian waved his hand, waited until the door of the study was closed, and looked at Lily of the Valley again.

"Miss Lily of the Valley, everything we are doing now is to protect the loyal and brave general, the lord of this county is extremely noble in the royal family, and I really can't afford to bully you, the border city general, I hope you understand the reason, seal the general to me, one step later, the general's danger will be more."

Ruan Mianmian's aura was fully open, and he walked towards Lily of the Valley step by step, and Lily of the Valley retreated little by little, and finally her back was against the desk, and she couldn't retreat, but she still put on a strong posture, holding a whip in one hand and a jade seal in the other, with an attitude of breaking the net.

"Why should I listen to you, yesterday my mother was forcibly taken away, and today my father went to the battlefield and you came to fight our general's mansion again, don't think I don't know!" Lily of the valley stared at her eyes, but the oil and salt did not enter.

"Hayabusa, no one!" Ruan Mianmian didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, and since she didn't listen to her good words, she immediately called two secret guards over.

Hayabusa and Wuyi's kung fu cleaned up a little girl, and with one movement, he snatched the whip and the general's seal from her hand, and lifted her up like a little chicken.

Ruan Mianmian ignored her anymore, but the general's seal was stained with mud and covered the announcement on the table, but she didn't want to see the words on it clearly at this time, and it was clearly written that the general's wife had been corrected by the general on the spot, and suddenly felt that the five thunders were thundering, and her eyes widened and she looked at these big black characters blankly, only to feel that it was cold from head to toe.

"My mother... He's dead? Lily of the valley gritted her teeth and squeezed out a few words intermittently, "Father, he killed his mother?" ”

Without waiting for others to reply, she suddenly shook her head like crazy, and rushed forward directly to tear up the notice, but none of them immediately reacted, and used her arm to block it, but she didn't want to be bitten on her arm and didn't let go, and pulled it twice.

None of them felt pain, but they didn't dare to let go, so they had to use their strength to press her to the ground, and then they withdrew their arms from her mouth, and looked down to see that they were already dripping with blood, and several arc-shaped holes were blurred with flesh and blood, which was simply miserable.

Ruan Mianmian saw that none of them were bitten, and immediately became angry, handed the notice in his hand to Hayabusa and asked him to go out and post it, he took two steps forward and bent down to look directly at Lily of the Valley's eyes, and suddenly opened his hand and slapped her left cheek.

This slap made enough strength, Ruan Mianmian only felt that his wrist was buzzing, but he still looked at Lily of the Valley with an expressionless face, five light purple palm prints gradually appeared on Lily of the Valley's cheeks, his head was tilted to the side, and he looked at Ruan Mianmian in disbelief, and he even forgot to say anything.

"Don't play tricks on your temperament at this time, are you some innocent person? The barbarian declaration of war has just reached the barracks, and you got the news without leaving the general's mansion? Who gave you the news and who contacted you? The spy we threw in the General's Mansion today is probably also secretly released by you, right? ”

Ruan Mianmian was very angry, because she didn't expect that the young Lily of the Valley had already become a spy who made a big mistake, and a good life like a flower was destined not to last long, and when they took over the general's mansion, they didn't see the figure of that spy, and they knew that there were still people in the mansion to respond. And Lily of the Valley pounced on the notice, seemingly excited to learn of her mother's death, but she was rushing to tear up the notice.

A frightened and grief-stricken little girl did not break down to the point of losing her mind, but wanted to destroy what had her mother's name written in front of her.

"Outrageous!" Ruan Mianmian dropped two words, flicked her sleeves and strode away directly, she had other things to do, and she didn't have any time to waste on this idiot. As for Lily of the Valley's whereabouts, none of them will take good care of her, and they will never let her hand out another half-word message.
