Coming to Chongqing Mansion again, Yao Ruoyu's mood was quite complicated.

It's not like the sadness and loss when he saw Chaotianmen at the beginning of the year, nor is it a leisurely walk through here on the way to Hangdu to pay tribute, this time when he came to Chongqing Mansion, Yao Ruoyu's heart was full of solemnity.

When he had just entered the city and walked on the streets, Yao Ruoyu clearly felt the depression of the entire city in the past years, the original prosperous street scene no longer existed, and some of the people he occasionally saw were also in a hurry, full of sorrow.

"Have you heard? Only the Marquis of Yuhu came to help us, and the King of Chu and the others have already gone to Hangzhou. ”

As he was walking on the road, Yao Ruoyu suddenly heard a conversation from the corner of the street, his heart moved, he didn't turn his head, but quietly expanded his spiritual sense there, and took all the next conversations into his ears.

"So we've all given up?"

"Haha, for them, the emperor is more important!"

"Mom sells batches! Lao Tzu their ancestors!"

"Shhh......hhhh

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, we won't have a good time when the Mongols come, and we will die early and late. ”

Hearing this, Yao Ruoyu had a bitter smile on his face, and then unfolded his spiritual sense again, enveloping most of Chongqing Mansion, and absorbing all the whispers of the people on the streets and alleys.

"Now I know that the Lord is really a good person!"

"Yes, if he hides with his ability, the Mongols will definitely not be able to find him, but it is for our ......"

"And the Dawen city-state seems to have come to help us. ”

"I'm ashamed, in the past, because Wen Bang offended my Confucianism, I insulted King Wen several times, but now that the King of Chu and others have given up my Chongqing Mansion, His Royal Highness King Wen has come to help. ”

"Are you a good person?" Yao Ruoyu's eyes darkened slightly, and the corners of Yao Ruoyu's lips rose a little bitterly, and he muttered, "It's really not counting." ”

As he spoke, he had already passed through several blocks and arrived at Xu Jingmiao's Economic Envoy's Mansion.

When I arrived at the door, I saw countless cars parked in front of the door, all of them were drivers and servants of officials from various states and counties, and there was a strong man in armor standing in front of the door, which was Xu Kuanhong, the commander of the garrison of Chongqing Prefecture.

Xu Kuanhong was carrying a knife and scanned the surroundings with cold eyes, and when he saw Yao Ruoyu appearing, he hurriedly strode over and said happily: "Lord Wang, you are here." ”

Yao Ruoyu nodded, saw Xu Kuanhong stretching out his hand to hold the reins, and did not refuse, turned over and dismounted, and asked, "Everyone has arrived, right?"

Xu Kuanhong stretched out his hand to hold the war horse and replied: "The envoy and the adults of various states and counties are already in the lobby, and the two ministers of your state, Xu and Song, are also there. ”

With a sigh, Yao Ruoyu walked into the Jingluo Envoy's Mansion under the leadership of Xu Kuanhong, and went straight to the lobby after passing through the front yard.

Compared with the officials of Chongqing Prefecture who saw Chongqing for the first time in the Wanzhou Government Office, the number of people in the hall at this moment has decreased significantly, some of them fled secretly during the defeat of the road, some died in the hands of the Mongols, and now the total number of civil and military officials in the hall is only more than 20 people.

Zuo Husong and the two deputy commanders of the Six Realms and six Five Realms battalion generals of the Tiger Army.

Wang Ping, Mu Lie, and Fan Hu are the three commanders of the military town, and the six Wujing battalion generals under their command.

Deng Yitong, Ma Shoucai, Xu Peng, Qu Feng, Dou Ji, and five governors.

Zhuang Lin, Yang Zhongxin, Ni Ding, Fan Gui, Jin Zheng, Zheng Banshui and other ten magistrates.

In addition, there are also seventeen lords of local forces in various parts of Chongqing Prefecture, such as Zhao Luyan, Yang Tai, Luo Chang, Lang Jin, and Xu Dezhang.

Seeing Yao Ruoyu come in, Xu Jingmiao, who had already healed from her injuries, sighed softly and said, "The prince is back." ”

"What, is Lord Xu still afraid that I will escape?" Yao Ruo smiled foolishly and said, "It's just that there are some old people, I need to settle them." ”

Ni Ding, Yang Zhongxin and the others were also secretly relieved when they saw him, and Ma Shoucai smiled: "The prince said that he was joking, but he was worried that the prince was alone and there was some danger. ”

Yao Ruoyu smiled, and was about to come to the first seat on the left to sit down, Xu Jingmiao suddenly asked, "Lord Wang, I don't know how long it will take for Wenbang's reinforcements to arrive?"

Yao Ruoyu was stunned when he heard this, and glanced at Song Kai, who said lightly: "There are only more than a hundred Black Lotus Sect Spirit Masters captured by my Dawen, even if they desperately cast spells and blessings, the speed of the march will not be fast, and it will take at least ten days to reach Chongqing Mansion." ”

"That's half a month," Qu Feng raised his hand and twisted his beard, and a little solemnity floated on his thin cheeks, "The Mongolian army is powerful, even if there is Wang Ye and Yuhu Marquis in charge, but if you want to stop the Mongolian army for half a month, ......"

Seeing Yao Ruoyu looking over, Deng Yitong groaned slightly, and said solemnly: "If you can integrate all the troops in the city and command it by me, maybe it will be ......."

"What does this lord mean, is it that even my Tiger Army has to be reintegrated?" asked coldly, a deputy commander of the Six Realms of the Tiger Army, with a displeased face.

"That's right!" Xu Peng, who was still wearing bandages on his body, sneered, "In case Lord Deng accidentally makes a mistake, won't he bury the only thing we can rely on?"

Seeing that everyone's words were directed at Deng Yitong, Yao Ruoyu shook his head secretly.

After retreating along the way, Deng Yitong also gave full play to what he had learned as a soldier, but except for Ding Yanzhi who initially calculated once with mental calculation or not, he naturally could not continue to gain the upper hand after that.

Fortunately, with Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai, plus Xu Jingmiao, Zuo Husong and others, they finally fought with Ding Yanzhi, but the gap between the two sides of the bottom force was too big, and even if the crowd worked together, they were still defeated all the way.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Peng and others dare to refute Deng Yitong in this way.

Seeing that there were constant disputes in the hall, Zuo Husong did not speak with a cold face, Xu Jingmiao's face turned pale, and he suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and said sharply: "When is it?

After a little envoy was angry, the hall was immediately silent, except for the Tiger Army and the generals of the three military towns, the civilian officials were all embarrassed.

In the past, Chu Yangge was in Chongqing Mansion, although he was only responsible for military affairs, but as a powerhouse in the Eight Realms, over time, Xu Jingmiao's experience gradually made his identity quite embarrassing, and his sense of existence was extremely weak.

But this time, the Mongolian army invaded the border, and Chu Yangge, who was relied on by everyone in the past, actually gave up Chongqing to support Hangdu, but Xu Jingmiao, who had no sense of existence in the past, stepped forward and led everyone to block the Mongolian army's attack.

In addition, when he fought with the Mongolian army a few days ago, Xu Jingmiao's combat power in the Seven Realms finally made this group of rotten Confucians, who had always been not convinced of him very much, have a little admiration.

Zuo Husong couldn't pretend to be unheard of at the moment, coughed, and said: "Deng Zhizhou is under the Wu family of Hezhou, and the military family must be very good at academics, but my Tiger Army has always been self-organized, and rashly integrating with other armies may affect its combat effectiveness." ”

Listening to him, he obviously disagreed with Deng Yitong's idea, Xu Peng and the others also raised their heads when they saw this, and regained a little bit of pride, with the support of Yuhu Hou, Deng Yitong's decision to vainly try to take charge of all the military power will naturally not succeed.

Deng Yitong also sighed lightly when he saw this, shook his head and stopped talking.

Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, and Song Kai are outsiders, Xu Jingmiao and Zuo Husong are both civil and military, and they are not easy to speak just now, until the topic is over at this moment, Yao Ruoyu asked: "Then next, what do you think about the defense of the city?"

Zuo Husong groaned slightly, and said: "It is true that the Mongolian army is strong, but the northerners are good at riding, and we are good at guarding the Song people, especially there are many spiritual masters, and there are high walls such as Chongqing Mansion, and the Mongolian army wants to break through this city in half a month with foot combat, I am afraid it will not be easy." ”

"Is that so?" Looking at Xu Jingmiao, Zuo Husong said in a deep voice, "While the Mongolian army has not yet crossed the river, the envoy will first lead people to set up the spirit array, and I will wait for the rest of the work, wait for the Wenbang reinforcements to arrive, and then think of defeating the Mongolian army." ”

Although Xu Jingmiao was talented, she was not good at what the soldiers had learned, so she immediately nodded and agreed.

"Also, can the two ministers, Xu and Song, join in and help set up the spirit array together?" Zuo Husong suddenly asked.

Yao Ruoyu was thinking about something, and when he heard this, he glanced at Xu Xuanrong and Song Kai, and Song Kai bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”

"I just hope that when the time comes, don't blame the two of us for getting in the way. Xu Xuanrong suddenly chuckled.

Xu Peng and the others were slightly embarrassed, they knew that it was Xu Xuanrong's counterattack against Wenbang's day and night precautions these days, although it was not a tear in the face, but it also embarrassed this group of good-faced rotten Confucians.

Yao Ruoyu's eyes flashed when he saw this, but his face was impassive, and he said lightly: "Since this is the case, then I will stay soon, Master Deng, you can lead people to go together." ”

Rao is Deng Yitong's wisdom, and he still couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, and then he seemed to understand, got up with a wry smile and bowed, and looked at Ma Shoucai, Fan Hu, Mu Lie and other people from the old gold family.

Seeing this scene, Xu Jingmiao and Zuo Husong looked around, but they didn't make a sound, so Xu Peng and the others couldn't speak, so they could only watch them silently.

After a short silence, Ma Shoucai sighed, got up and shook his sleeves, bowed to Xu Jingmiao, and walked quickly to Deng Yitong's side.

Subsequently, Fan Hu, Mu Lie, Fan Gui, Jin Zheng and other civil and military members of the old Jin family got up one after another, and followed Deng Yitong to Yao Ruoyu in turn.

"You ...... What are you going to do?" Xu Peng seemed to react at this time, and said angrily.

Qu Feng also frowned: "Everyone, what does this mean?"

"When this battle is over, whether my Chongqing Mansion wins or not, we will resign and go to Dawen. Deng Yitong said lightly.

These days, Yao Ruoyu has a close relationship with the civil and military affairs of the old Jin family, and others are not unaware, although they have guessed a few points, but no one expected that Yao Ruoyu would choose to reveal this matter at this moment.

Looking at Xu Jingmiao, whose face was sinking like water, Yao Ruoyu felt a little guilty in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "It has nothing to do with this battle. ”

What he said was mindless, but Xu Jingmiao seemed to understand, and said, "Okay." ”

Seeing Yao Ruoyu leading everyone away, Yang Zhongxin couldn't help but be annoyed: "Lord Jingluo, just let them leave?"

"Otherwise?" it was Zuo Husong who spoke, he narrowed his tiger eyes and looked at Yang Zhongxin with interest, "Could it be that this adult still plans to arrest them?"

Yang Zhongxin froze for a moment, gritted his teeth and said: "The big war is imminent, but they openly shake the hearts of the army......"

"There is no wavering," shaking his head, Xu Jingmiao's eyes revealed a bit of complexity, and said slowly, "For the people, they are still my Great Song people, fighting against the Mongolian army, they are still going all out, and the so-called resignation is also after the end of the war." ”

Xu Peng said angrily: "But their actions like this have not provoked my Great Song Tianwei!"

"Have you ever regarded them as colleagues?" Xu Jingmiao suddenly asked, seeing Xu Peng, Qu Feng and the others hesitating, he smiled faintly, "Since we can't get along, wouldn't it be better to be separated from each other?"
