Chapter 648: Back to the camp

"I said Brother Zhang, Fan Cheng is indeed not small, but Brother Lin's white hair is very easy to identify. If you send someone out to look for it, it shouldn't be difficult to find," Seeing that Zhang Jiutian didn't mean to go to Lin Xuanzhong, Fang Qing had no choice but to persuade patiently.

"Brother Lin won't have an accident, right?" Without waiting for Zhang Jiutian to respond, Tangbao on the side immediately put forward the worst guess after thinking about a lot of reasons why Lin Xuanzhong hadn't come back yet.

"Brother Lin's strength is stronger than that of ordinary seventh-order martial cultivators, it is impossible for something to happen casually, Tangbao, don't guess," it was Ni Youbin who spoke, and Ni Youbin didn't seriously consider whether Lin Xuanzhong would have an accident, because Ni Youbin subconsciously didn't think that there would be that possibility.

"No, there is some truth in what Tangbao said, maybe there are people in the city who don't welcome us," Fang Qing's statement was very subtle, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Then what will happen to Brother Lin?" Seeing that Fang Qing chose to believe in Tangbao, Ni Youbin immediately asked,

"This, I don't know!" The next moment, Fang Qing shook his head and looked ignorant.

"Then what are you talking nonsense, Brother Lin is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble, Zhang Jiutian, you say yes," said Ni Youbin and looked at Zhang Jiutian again, if you really want to talk about it, Zhang Jiutian and Lin Xuanzhong have stayed together the longest, and they should know more about Lin Xuanzhong's movements.

"General Jiren has his own natural appearance, so it shouldn't be possible for something to happen, but as for why he hasn't come back until now, I don't know very well. ”

"You said that Brother Lin shouldn't go to a tavern to secretly have fun, right? I heard that Brother Lin was rewarded with a lot of jade last time!" Seeing that Zhang Jiutian couldn't say why, Fang Qing had no choice but to make a guess from his own point of view.

"Fart, you think Brother Lin is a virtue with you," the result was a rebuttal from Ni Youbin.

"No matter, let's go back," being scolded by Ni Youbin like this, Fang Qing was embarrassed to guess any longer, and hurriedly greeted Zhang Jiutian, "Brother Zhang, if Brother Lin comes back, you can notify us." ”

"Okay," today is not the first time to make such a reply, although Zhang Jiutian is full of helplessness, he still smiles at Fang Qing. After seeing the three of them leave, Zhang Jiutian finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, it was not difficult to think that if Lin Xuanzhong didn't come back tomorrow, I was afraid that he would never have peace.

Putting aside the situation in the barracks, after eating, Hu Lao re-applied medicine to Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, and then let Lin Xuanzhong rest early.

I was tired enough today, and after lying on the bed without saying a word to Xingyu, Lin Xuanzhong fell asleep. Like Lin Xuanzhong, Xingyu is also very tired from practicing, and he sleeps more deeply than Lin Xuanzhong.

The next morning, after waking up, the first thing Lin Xuanzhong did was to untie the strips of cloth covering his eyes. When I opened my eyes, everything slowly became clear, and soon everything was back to normal. It's just that the clearer I look, the clearer the picture of being plotted by Hu Da yesterday becomes in my mind, and the feeling of being reborn gradually disappears, and soon only the memories of Hu Da remain.

After a while, Lin Xuanzhong slowly turned over and looked at the external injuries on his body, not surprisingly, they were all good, and the cultivation effect of the bow technique was indeed extraordinary, and it seemed that even the wounds were healing faster than before. When he was secretly happy to learn archery, he turned around and saw that Xingyu next to him was still asleep.

Thinking of the scene when Xingyu appeared at the scene of the murder yesterday, Lin Xuanzhong was worried for a while, but he hadn't figured out what impact what happened yesterday had on Xingyu, and now he couldn't see anything else except that Xingyu was sleeping peacefully. Got up and got dressed, Lin Xuanzhong planned to go back early today, he had already left the barracks for two days, and he didn't think that Fang Qing would look for him, but the affairs in the army could not be handed over to Zhang Jiutian all the time.

After putting on the new clothes specially prepared by Hu Lao, he opened the door curtain, and Lin Xuanzhong saw that Hu Lao was cleaning up his things in the living room.

"Lin Xiaoyou, your eyes are better," Hu Lao glanced at Lin Xuanzhong, who was about to come out, and asked in a gentle tone. After yesterday's incident, the relationship between the two sides is obviously a lot closer, not like before, although they don't dislike each other, but they are definitely not close.

"En," nodded, Lin Xuanzhong continued, "I'll go back later." ”

"Then stay and have breakfast, Xingyu and I are going out to collect medicine today, just to give you a ride," Hu Lao nodded understandingly, and then walked out of the living room directly.

After Hu Lao went to the kitchen with a lamp, there was nothing to do in the living room alone, and Lin Xuanzhong went outside the house for a walk. Early in the morning, the morning breeze on the mountain was very cold, and Lin Xuanzhong's physique could feel the chill, and it seemed that there were still bad places to live on the mountain.

When he got out of the courtyard and looked down the mountain, wisps of cooking smoke were already wafting in the villages below, and after running his vitality to keep out the cold, the more he walked, the more relaxed Lin Xuanzhong felt. There was even a moment when Lin Xuanzhong felt that his current situation was exactly the life he wanted, but unfortunately this thought did not last, and was soon replaced by the idea of wanting to be a strong man.

Without letting himself think about it too much, and completely calming down after a while, Lin Xuanzhong only knew that there was still a long way to go.

After walking around the courtyard and coming back, Lin Xuanzhong saw that Xingyu was already washing with the water that Hu Lao had just boiled. After a night, Xingyu was as energetic as yesterday morning, it seemed that yesterday's experience had not affected him, and after looking at Xingyu, some of the gloom in Lin Xuanzhong's heart slowly dissipated.

After following Xingyu to wash, it didn't take long for Hu Lao to send all the things that the three of them wanted to eat in the morning to the living room. The breakfast was so harmonious that after eating, Lin Xuanzhong realized that a morning had passed in a trance.

Waiting for Hu Lao to clean up in the kitchen, the three of them went out together. Walk along the road the day before yesterday and return to the place where the three of them met. The grandfather and grandson sent Lin Xuanzhong there, which also meant that the time for separation had arrived.

"Lin Xiaoyou, take care," Hu Lao smiled happily, and he didn't seem to feel anything about such a separation. Xingyu on the side looked straight at Lin Xuanzhong with his eyes, as if he had something to say, but in the end he couldn't say it.

"Goodbye," smiled and beckoned to the grandfather and grandson, Lin Xuanzhong, who had already walked a few steps, slowly turned around and left, taking the dustless sword down the mountain from the same way he came, and never looked back as soon as he left.

When he walked to the bottom of the mountain and looked at the mountain, the green trees blocked Lin Xuanzhong's sight, and a trace of melancholy arose spontaneously. Putting aside the things encountered in the village, the past two days have added to Lin Xuanzhong's good memories in the past. I don't know if there is a possibility of coming back yet, now Lin Xuanzhong can only smile and remember everything that happened in the past two days.

Looking back, Lin Xuanzhong only had things related to the barracks in his heart, and he didn't know what the situation was in the camp now, so Lin Xuanzhong's pace was constantly accelerating. In fact, in the past two days, the situation has been calm inside and outside the Guan.

On the coalition side, because of a miscalculation, the two commanders had to face a huge problem, for them, the lack of large siege equipment meant that there was no certainty of success. Even though the massive mountains could provide them with enough wood, and they could find enough carpenters and blacksmiths, they would not be able to build enough siege engines in a short period of time.

Fan Pass is not an ordinary level, there is no siege vehicle, and the cost of capturing such a level with manpower alone cannot be considered, so the question of how to attack the city in the past two days has made the two coalition commanders feel very embarrassed, but unfortunately the Qingyuan power does not give them much time, even if they can't achieve some results as soon as possible, they still have to have some practical actions. At present, the coalition forces are busy preparing large siege equipment and planning how to attack the city.

At the same time, after two days of inspection, Zhao Xu had completely figured out the strength of the coalition army, and the strength of the coalition army was 500,000 as they knew before. Of course, Zhao Xu is more concerned about the people of the two coalition commanders, because there are not many secret agents caught, so there is not much information to go, Zhao Xu only knows that the two coalition commanders are people who are bent on frustrating the prestige of the night army and making a name for themselves.

Although he didn't know what the specific abilities of the two commanders were, but only based on their intentions, Zhao Xu felt that it was more appropriate to defend the city at present. No matter how many troops the other party has, Zhao Xu is confident that he will hold Fancheng. In terms of defending the city, the night army has already been arranged, and all the personnel and materials up and down are in place, ready to meet the attack of the coalition forces at any time.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Zhao Xu decisively gave up his plan to attack has a lot to do with the situation in the coalition camp. Although it was thirty miles away from Fancheng, the camps on both sides were heavily guarded. Maybe the two commanders are not good at seizing the timing, but they do have some ability in leading troops. Under the fortifications on all sides, the two large battalions that were separated were as solid as two fortresses. Whether it was day or night, Zhao Xu didn't see an opportunity to raid.

During the period of monitoring the coalition camp, Zhao Xu had done a detailed understanding of the surrounding environment of the coalition camp, and did not find a route that could be used to launch a surprise attack. If the night army rushes out, the coalition forces will take precautions as soon as possible. In addition, Zhao Xu also suspected that there was a gap between the coalition forces in the city, perhaps a secret agent who sneaked into Fancheng from the edge area, or some people in the city who were willing to take the initiative to help the coalition army. As a result, there is a greater risk that the night army will rush into force.

After considering all factors, defending the city is the best choice for the night army at present. It's just that Zhao Xu and the two coalition commanders have a common problem to face, and neither side can waste time. The coalition army is more because of the mission of the Qingyuan power, while the night army is more because of the limited food and grass.

In terms of grain and grass, even if the two countries that had just sent troops to Fei and Yang each had to raise hundreds of thousands of troops, it was not a problem for them to consider for the time being. However, for the night army, which has been fighting, food and grass are gradually becoming a problem as time goes by. If Yan Nantian's grain and grass team hadn't been attacked at the beginning, maybe the situation would have been better now.
