Yuzhou, Wenwang's Mansion, Study.

Flipping through the folds that had just been delivered from Chengdu Mansion, Yao Ruoyu frowned slightly, this winter Sichuan and Shu are not peaceful, they have encountered rare heavy snowfalls, countless houses have collapsed, many people have been displaced, and the two wars that have just ended to destroy gold and the current war of war against Chongqing have consumed countless amounts of money and silver.

If it weren't for the looting of the entire Dajin treasury in Lanzhou City, I was afraid that Wenbang's finances would collapse completely, and it would be no wonder that Bai Qiuyu, who was in charge of the household department, followed this batch of folds and delivered a private letter full of grievances to himself.

Holding his chin, Yao Ruoyu's eyes were deep, calculating the time, the current battle of Chongqing Mansion should have ended, if there is no accident, Chongqing Mansion should have been pacified at present, but I don't know how the casualties were.

If the casualties are too large, I am afraid it will be a big expense.

He was thinking about it, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then he heard the guards at the door say "Minister Xu" in unison, and then saw Xu Xuanrong push the door and walk in.

Sichuan and Shu suffered heavy snowfall, Yuzhou was also somewhat affected, although there was no snow, but the weather was still extremely cold, Xu Xuanrong put on a snow-white leather jacket, wore a cotton hat, and held a small stove in his hand.

As soon as he came in, Xu Xuanrong had already impatiently closed the door, and walked to the table with a smile: "It's too cold this day, it's still warmer in the room." ”

"You can use a spell to keep warm, what kind of stove to hold. Yao Ruoyu smiled and got up to make her a cup of hot tea.

Putting the small stove on his lap, Xu Xuanrong took a sip of the teacup, and scolded with a smile: "I am a spirit master, of course my physique is not as good as yours, and don't you consume spiritual power when casting spells? ”

Rolling her eyes, Yao Ruoyu couldn't help but not ask which woman looted a large amount of spices just to decorate her boudoir when she first occupied Hezhou.

The two laughed for a while, Xu Xuanrong handed over the teacup, Yao Ruoyu refilled the tea for her, and asked, "How are you recovering from your injuries?"

Blinking his eyes, Xu Xuanrong smiled and said, "It's almost all recovered, what about you?" Old Mr. Lieshan said that you can't do anything with people for at least half a year. ”

Shaking his head, Yao Ruoyu said indifferently: "I have recovered a long time ago, I ...... at the beginning" He hesitated, but still told Xu Xuanrong about the fact that he had devoured the blood dragon life of Yan Agu.

Hearing that he had devoured the Blood Dragon Lifeform, Xu Xuanrong's heart was full of surprise, and after a few breaths, he came to his senses, frowned, and said, "If that's the case, then you and Chu Crazy Ge will ...... in the future."

Squinting slightly, Yao Ruoyu groaned: "It's hard to say, now it seems that the King of Chu seems to be detached from the world and disdains this Nine Dragons Fighting for Immortals, but what is going on secretly, no one can say well, but only you and I know about my two major lives, and there will be no problems for the time being." ”

"That's the best, the ...... of the Eight Realms" Putting down the porcelain cup, Xu Xuanrong frowned slightly, "Before you broke through to the Eight Realms, we had no confidence in the face of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Glancing at her, Yao Ruoyu frowned and said: "Anyway, at this stage, we are still their vassals, as long as we maintain overall humility and find a way to persuade the King of Chu and the King of Yue to speak for us, the Great Song Dynasty will not do anything to us." ”

Shaking his head slightly, Xu Xuanrong sneered: "People's hearts are unpredictable, who knows, what's more, don't forget that we occupy Chongqing Mansion Road this time, and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely come to us to ask for it, have you thought about how to answer them at that time?"

"How do you answer? No, no!," Yao Ruoyu replied with a free smile, "Anyway, even if the Mongols are repelled this time, the Great Song Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and the vassal states such as Goryeo and Dongying overseas are eyeing each other, and there are two major dynasties of Nanban and Mongolia entrenched, so it is impossible for them to spend too much energy to deal with us." ”

"What's more," ...... smiling proudly, Yao Ruoyu said confidently, "Unless they are sure that they can kill me with one blow, if I escape with all my strength when I comprehend the Great Dao of Shadows, the world is so big that unless it is the Nine Realms Sacred, who can stop me?"

Seeing that he showed such confidence and domineering, Xu Xuanrong's eyes were slightly loose, and he lost his mind for a few breaths, and then he came to his senses, turned his head with a slightly red face, and said with a dry smile: "What do you say is happening in Chongqing Mansion now?"

"If nothing happens, there should be news tomorrow at most......" Yao Ruoyu was saying, his expression suddenly moved, and he said with a smile, "It seems that it is too late, and the news has already come." As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the closed door opened suddenly, revealing a shadowy figure that was about to knock on the door.

I didn't think that I had already been discovered before I knocked on the door, the shadow of the shadow was stunned at first, and then looked at the two people in the room with some reverence, and knelt on one knee after crossing the threshold, and said solemnly: "The second shadow general has seen the prince, and the Song Shadow Lord has sent news from Chongqing Mansion that Chongqing Mansion won a great victory, annihilating two people from the seven borders of Mongolia, twelve people from the six realms and 30,000 Mongolian soldiers, and capturing nearly 20,000 people. ”

"Oh?" Although he had already guessed that this battle would be won, but after really hearing the news, Yao Ruoyu was still overjoyed, raised his hand and sucked the battle report presented by this person into his hand, and quickly browsed it.

In the battle report, Song Kai described the entire process of the battle in detail.

First of all, the soldiers were divided into multiple roads, and they broke through the city gates, followed by all kinds of obstacles encountered by everyone after entering the city, and finally besieged the Chu Wangfu, Yang Renjie and other twelve Six Realms went up the mountain to break the formation first, and then four Seven Realms launched the realm to fight.

Each of the eighteen bronze figures cast by the First Emperor is integrated with a great avenue as the core, making the eighteen bronze figures can be called eighteen powerhouses of the Seven Realms level.

Although the Diaoyu Tai, which was originally the Bronze Man of Calamity, was greatly reduced in power due to damage, the Bronze Man of Shadow has always maintained his peak state because he has been worshiped by the Shadow Stream for many years, which is equivalent to still maintaining the peak combat power of the Seven Realms.

The soul talisman condensed by the shamanic deputy leader is yin, soul, and spirit, which happens to belong to the derivation of the avenue of shadows, and if it is restrained by the bronze man of shadows, it will not be able to exert much strength at all.

In this way, even if Subutai is a high-level powerhouse of the Seven Realms, it is unreasonable to face the siege of Xi Shi, the Five Spirits Fanyi Sword Formation, the Diaoyu Tai, and the Bronze Man of Shadow.

However, the most thrilling thing was not the battle at the level of the Seven Realms, because Deng Yitong, Song Kai and others planned first, in fact, the battle of Xi Shi and others ended relatively smoothly.

The only thing that people didn't expect was that Li Dehui relied on the spar given by Subutai, and on the basis of repairing the old injuries in the past, he also stepped into the Seven Realms with half a foot and was promoted to the Half-Step Seven Realms.

At that time, Xi Shi, Mu Jiantian and others were still fighting with Subutai, Su Rile and Ke in the air, and Li Dehui, who broke through the barrier, killed the Quartet with a bloody sword, if it weren't for Fu Feng, Yang Renjie, and Xiang Beibei who were desperately blocking the front, I was afraid that everyone would be slaughtered by this person in an instant.

At the critical moment, Cai Xudong did not hesitate to perform the forbidden technique of pressing the bottom of the box in "Scarlet Secret Technique", sacrificing himself to burn Li Dehui's blood, and at the same time, Song Kai absorbed the death qi emitted by countless dead people in the city to curse, and then Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and others attacked wildly, and only then did they kill this top powerhouse of the half-step Seven Realms.

However, after this battle, many people can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, Cai Xudong broke through to the six realms and five layers in one fell swoop because he devoured Li Dehui's heart and blood, and Yang Renjie, Fu Feng, Song Kai, and Xiang Beibei were also promoted to one level each, reaching the six realms and four levels.

"Six Realms Fivefold?" Knowing that Cai Xudong had actually broken through to the Six Realms and Fivefold, Xu Xuanrong's expression couldn't help but be a little lost.

Originally, in the Ministry of Literature and Art, except for Zhang Ziqiang, Ding Yanzhi, Long Cheng and others who were not in Wenbang, among the rest, Yao Ruoyu could naturally rank first, while she had always ranked second and had never fallen.

But since breaking through the Six Realms, Xu Xuanrong's realm has inexplicably stagnated, whether it is during the War of Exterminating Jin, or this battle to defend Yuzhou, her realm has always progressed slowly, and so far it is only the Three Realms of the Six Realms, not to mention Cai Xudong, that is, Yang Renjie, Song Kai and others have already surpassed her.

Yao Ruoyu was immersed in the joy of the victory in the battle of Chongqing Mansion, and did not pay attention to Xu Xuanrong's loss, still reading the text on the battle report: "At present, the Cold Iron Army, the Rock Tiger Army, and the Red Shirt Army are staying in Chongqing Mansion, and the Thunder God Army, the Beast God Army, the Mandarin Duck Army, the Trap Army, the Condor Army, and the Overlord Army are acting separately and are sweeping the rest of the territory of Chongqing Mansion Road. ”

After reading the battle report, Yao Ruoyu put it down, his heart full of excitement.

The victory of the Battle of Chongqing Province means that the largest resistance force of Mongolia in the territory of Chongqing Mansion Road has collapsed, and there will be no force in the entire Chongqing Prefecture to stop the footsteps of the literary and artistic army.

Huo Ran got up, and Yao Ruoyu walked to the map hanging on the wall, which clearly drew the entire southwest region of Huaxia.

With the occupation of Chongqing Fu Road, Wenbang, which owns Sichuan and Chongqing plus Longnan, has become a behemoth in western China second only to Nanban.

"The trees are lush in the forest and the wind will destroy them, and when the turmoil of Mongolia's southward movement is over, the Song Dynasty will inevitably come to us for trouble. ”

Just as Yao Ruoyu was staring at the map, Xu Xuanrong behind him suddenly chuckled, and the former was stunned and looked back.

Facing the inquiring gaze of the black-robed man, Xu Xuanrong smiled slightly: "Now this turmoil is about to end because the Song Dynasty began to fight back, and we had better let the Song Dynasty not be able to embarrass us after the turmoil is over." ”

"Listen to what you mean, it seems that you don't want to secretly calculate them?" Yao Ruoyu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise.

"Of course!" shrugging his shoulders, Xu Xuanrong said indifferently, "Can we know the calculation, won't they be able to see it? As the number one power in China, even if the vitality is greatly damaged, it is more than enough to deal with us." ”

Yao Ruoyu thought for a while, and said, "So, what do you think?"

"After resting for so long, don't you feel bored?" The corners of his lips curled slightly, Xu Xuanrong slowly got up with a flick of his sleeves, and said softly, "It's our turn to appear, let's go, take the night dragoon, and set off for Jinghu North Road, aren't Meng Ge and Kublai Khan fighting fiercely with the Song Dynasty there?"

"Let's go from behind and stab them!"
