Chapter 553: January Penance

"Since the marshal is already confident in destroying the night army, why should we be afraid," after Ruan Qiling showed the meaning of winning the victory, a general of the main battle faction stood up and expressed his attitude to Ruan Qiling with a straight face.

"It's all up to the marshal's orders," Immediately afterwards, a group of generals expressed their attitudes to Ruan Qiling one after another, and they all said that they would fight side by side with Ruan Qiling.

The decision to go to war was very short and very successful, and Ruan Qiling made the wing army reach an agreement in a few words. Next, Nguyen Qiling officially gave detailed instructions on every detail of the plan. How to attract or interfere with the Night Army so that they don't have to evacuate before they carry out the plan, how to drive the beasts to the Night Army's camp before they fight each other, how to attack the Night Army so that the plan can be carried out smoothly.

More than half a month is enough time for Ruan Qiling to consider all aspects, and it has taken a long time to convey many instructions now, but by the time the meeting is over, Ruan Qiling has already made a full deployment.

On the other side, half a month has passed, and the night army, Zhao Xu and the generals have also discussed many things, and they will not evacuate the border for the time being. Garrisoning people on the border to protect Snow Country is a must-do, although the garrison at Beast Ridge Pass is extremely disadvantageous to the Night Army, but it is still the same as before, if you retreat to Windless City, it will do more harm than good, and there is no other suitable garrison location, unless you let those innocent civilians in Snow Country become a shield.

After thinking about this issue many times, Zhao Xu was still unwilling to withdraw his troops and ignore the lives of countless ordinary city citizens behind him, let alone show weakness to the wing army. In line with Zhao Xu's decision, many generals who advocated for war were reluctant to take the camp away.

After reaching a consensus from top to bottom of the night army, the night army did not retreat, and also did not want the wing army to retreat, it was easier to start a war at the Beast Ridge Pass than to go to the wing country to attack the city. Of course, in terms of time, the night army can't drag on any longer.

The night army and the wing army have been in a stalemate for a while, and the food and grass have gradually become a problem, the night army is eager to fight with the wing army, as for why the 30,000 troops of Windless City have not been transferred for a long time, it is entirely because Zhao Xu intends to use those 30,000 troops to meet the needs of the untimed. And relative to the strength of the wing army, the night army has enough soldiers and horses on the border.

The 160,000 army, if the same strength cannot defeat the wing army, then another 30,000 people are of little use, but Zhao Xu has recently had the idea of transferring troops, because the closer the 30,000 soldiers are to the border, the better. It's a pity that the training time is too short, and I don't know how effective it will be yet.

As for the Wing Army, the Night Army has also been making observations, and it is very difficult to get close to the camp of the Wing Army, just like the Wing Army observing the Night Army, and the Night Army is not clear about the specific situation of the Wing Army now. Except for the news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Wing Army, the Night Army knew more about the situation of the Wing Army.

After half a month of discussion, Zhao Xu and the generals have already come to the conclusion of how to attack and defend, and the final answer seems to be that they can only wait for the wing army to fight. It is much more difficult for them to ambush the Wing Army than for the Wing Army to ambush them, and no matter how you look at the geographical situation, the Wing Army is more dominant.

Putting aside the military situation at the border pass, Lin Xuanzhong has been staying at the Ling family for the past month. I don't know the situation in Yedu or the situation on the border, I don't care about the affairs of the army, and even Fang Qing and Ni Youbin rarely meet, and they practice their body skills and swordsmanship in the forbidden land alone.

On weekdays, only when fighting swords with Fang Qing and Ni Youbin can you be idle, and judging from the competition with the two, Lin Xuanzhong's swordsmanship has been in the stage of improvement. With the personal guidance of the Ling family master, Lin Xuanzhong's mistakes in the process of learning swordsmanship were greatly reduced, as if he was taking a shortcut, but every step was very steady.

In terms of body method, the environment of the forbidden land was originally more suitable for practicing body method, so after becoming proficient in five steps and eight desolations, Lin Xuanzhong naturally explored the practice method of six steps and eight desolations. The difficulty of practicing the six steps and eight wildernesses is indescribable, and Lin Xuanzhong doesn't even know the most basic practice methods now, as if he can only rely on chance to practice the six steps and eight wildernesses.

It is worth mentioning that during Lin Xuanzhong's martial arts training, the head of the Ling family specially got some military books for Lin Xuanzhong for Lin Xuanzhong's reference, so that in the end, he did not have any free time except for eating and resting. Now Fang Qing and Ni Youbin are not afraid that Lin Xuanzhong is a martial idiot, their minds are all on cultivation, and they don't care about other things, they are just worried that Lin Xuanzhong will exhaust themselves.

Strange to say, he spends most of his time practicing every day, but his body rarely feels tired, and even his mental state has always been vigorous, as if he will not get tired at all, such a strange situation makes Lin Xuanzhong very strange. It's a pity that whether he pondered it himself or asked the head of the Ling family, Lin Xuanzhong found nothing in the end.

Now a month later, Lin Xuanzhong's strength has naturally grown greatly. It can be said that even if you don't use five steps and eight wilderness now, you can still fight with Ling Zihao.

Today is considered a rest, Lin Xuanzhong did not get up early to go to the forbidden land as usual, but practiced swordsmanship in the small courtyard at will. After Fang Qing and Ni Youbin woke up one after another, the three of them met together.

"Time flies so fast, I don't even feel it, a month has passed," Fang Qing was very emotional after seeing Lin Xuanzhong, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Lin, your swordsmanship has improved a lot, I believe that if you compete with Ling Zihao again, you will not easily lose in swordsmanship," After watching Lin Xuanzhong practice swordsmanship in the courtyard for a while, Ni Youbin couldn't help but comment with feelings.

Although it was a month ago, Ni Youbin still remembers the competition between Ling Zihao and Lin Xuanzhong very clearly. Since losing to Lin Xuanzhong a month ago, Ling Zihao seemed to disappear from the Ling family. Some people say that Ling Zihao went out to practice to find opportunities; some people say that Ling Zihao is still in retreat and cultivation in the clan, in order to fight Lin Xuanzhong again one day; and some people say that Ling Zihao was devastated after losing to Lin Xuanzhong, and he was willing to fall, spending all day drinking, and had no intention of cultivating, of course, this is the most unlikely kind of statement, even if Ling Zihao's mind is poor, he will not be willing to fall.

Putting Lin Xuanzhong aside, Ling Zihao was still a genius on the first day of the Windless City, and there were not many people in the entire Snow Country, so as long as Ling Zihao was not stupid, he would definitely not give up his cultivation, and only by constantly cultivating could he have a chance to defeat Lin Xuanzhong.

"You two have made a lot of progress," After stopping, he walked next to Fang Qing and Ni Youbin, and noticed that the aura on the two of them was much stronger than before, and Lin Xuanzhong also praised the two of them.

"Staying in that forbidden land for a month is like practicing hard outside for three months, if there is no progress at all, then Ni Youbin and I might as well die," mentioning the growth of his own strength, Fang Qing didn't want to deny it, but the suffering in the forbidden land made Fang Qing pay more attention.

"What is the little bit of hardship you endured, compared to Brother Lin, you are like playing in the forbidden land for a month," Fang Qing's half-dead tone made Ni Youbin feel awkward, thinking that Fang Qing was so hypocritical, Ni Youbin couldn't help but mock.

"Let's go eat something first, and then go to the barracks to have a look," Lin Xuanzhong didn't want Ni Youbin to talk about himself more, so he simply took the initiative to talk about it.

"Why don't we eat in another place today?" Ni Youbin took Lin Xuanzhong's words.

"What do you mean?" Then, Fang Qing answered Ni Youbin's question again.

"Go outside and find a place to drink something," Ni Youbin replied lightly.

"Oh, I know, it turns out that Ni Youbin you want to go out to drink flower wine," Fang Qing nodded and showed that he knew Ni Youbin very well, and then looked at Lin Xuanzhong and asked, "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

"If you want to drink flower wine, I have no opinion, but ......" Lin Xuanzhong continued: "Don't expect me to pay." Seeing that Fang Qing wanted to make a joke about Ni Youbin, Lin Xuanzhong echoed understandingly.

"Brother Lin, then do you want to shout Zixin and Ziqing, we haven't seen their sisters for a long time?"

"Ni Youbin's idea is good, I think we should go to a normal place, it is much more interesting to have Zixin and Ziqing to accompany you than to drink flower wine!" Thinking about Ni Youbin's proposal, it seems that it is better than the three of them going to drink flower wine, Fang Qing hurriedly added.

"If you have the ability, you can shout, anyway, I have no opinion," Lin Xuanzhong, who seemed to be too obsessed with cultivating in the forbidden land, had never felt how tired he was from cultivating in the forbidden land, but today he had a feeling of tiredness, as if he didn't want to care about anything. I don't have the energy to think about some questions, and I talk to Fang Qing and Ni Youbin very casually.

"Okay, Brother Lin, you find a place nearby to sit and wait for us, Ni Youbin and I will go find someone," Thinking of Ling Ziqing's pretty face, Fang Qing was more anxious than Ni Youbin, who proposed to find the two sisters for dinner.

"En," Lin Xuanzhong nodded, turned around and found a waterside pavilion, and then quickly turned to the two and said, "I'll wait for you there." ”

"Then Fang Qing and I will go to Ziqing and them," understanding what Lin Xuanzhong meant, Ni Youbin nodded and left directly with Fang Qing.

After Fang Qing and Ni Youbin left, Lin Xuanzhong walked into the pavilion alone, and before he sat down, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, Lin Xuanzhong felt that Fang Qing and Ni Youbin were likely to find someone in their own name, but they couldn't care so much after thinking about it. I haven't seen the Ling Zixin sisters for a month, in fact, Lin Xuanzhong himself also wants to meet the two sisters.

While thinking about how Fang Qing and Ni Youbin could find the two sisters, they rested against a pillar. It's September, it's not very hot, it's morning again, and the temperature in the pavilion is very important.

While looking at the swimming fish in the water, while comfortably feeling the refreshment after the breeze, before he knew it, Lin Xuanzhong closed his eyes and fell asleep.
