Chapter 262: Break (1)
I'm just now realizing that I'm in a hurry, and I haven't asked a few questions, but it doesn't make a difference whether I know it or not, Sword City is lost, and for whatever reason, Dongzi and I will be reduced to prisoners.
Xia Li didn't speak next to him, and when he saw me looking over, he hesitated slightly, exchanged a look with me, bowed slightly, and left with someone.
It's time to take out the things they are making up and use them, but some of them will not break the balance if they are used, but it is inevitable to cause panic.
After all, human power is limited, and the power of science can theoretically be infinitely superimposed, especially after getting new materials from Akatsuki's hands, the lethality is increased exponentially.
I'm in a hurry, don't think about it!
Mu Bai and Dongzi knew the meaning of me and Xia Li's exchange of glances, and their brows were tightly knit and they didn't speak. The two veteran generals told me about the situation and left.
I was restless throughout noon, for fear that the desolate lord would suddenly come out and destroy Sword City and arrest me and Dongzi. If Dongzi and I fall into the hands of Nanhuang, my daughter-in-law and sister will fall into passivity.
As for whether she will really give up on me, I don't know the bottom of my heart now, although as the saying goes, the country is more beautiful, but I am not a beauty, and it is unlikely that she will give up the Central Empire for me.
However, unexpectedly, by the next day, the army of the Southern Wilderness did not move, and the lord of the Wilderness did not come in person as the night festival said.
The worst thing is to be blocked in Sword City, I don't know the situation on my daughter-in-law's sister's side, and it was silent until the third day, I finally couldn't sit still, and I went up to the city to take a look in person, there was a dead silence in the wilderness outside Sword City, but I could feel the murderous aura condensed there, and it did hide thousands of troops.
Dongzi was a little confused, and guessed: "Brother Shi, could it be that Nandou found the Southern Expeditionary Army and messed up their rear?" ”
The situation he said was not impossible, after all, there were more than 100,000 troops in the Southern Expeditionary Army, and if they didn't count the casualties, they would have to avoid the Ninth Order of Breaking the Void, which was a force to be reckoned with.
But it is really after the Southern Expeditionary Army is broken, the army of the Southern Wilderness will only speed up the offensive against Sword City, rather than procrastinate for a long time.
I asked Mu Bai to borrow the demon gate overnight, and went to the imperial capital with Dongzi overnight, and arrived early the next morning, after the reconstruction of the capital, it looked more magnificent and magnificent, the guard of the city gate was Lian Zhen, she recognized me and showed puzzlement, without waiting for me to ask: "Su Yan, you didn't go to the Southern Wilderness with Your Highness?" ”
"To the Southern Wilderness?" I was stunned for a moment, my face changed, I grabbed her and asked, "You said that Qinyue went to the Southern Wilderness?" When was it? ”
Lian Zhen frowned, and said, "Three days ago! ”
It happened to be the time when the night festival said that the wasteland lord would come in person, didn't he come because his daughter-in-law's sister went to the southern wilderness? My whole person is in chaos, Nandou said that the desolate lord will attack the Central Empire because he likes his daughter-in-law's sister, and she went alone and didn't throw herself in?
I asked carefully, Lian Zhen didn't know much, only said that he brought Linglong and a few old generals of the empire to negotiate a meeting.
There is a price to pay for wanting to negotiate cooperation...... The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I wanted to enter the palace to see my mother-in-law, but I was rejected after the report, and I was so angry that I stood at the gate of the city and scolded, which caused many onlookers.
The people in the imperial capital all knew that Qinyue had a little horse, but not many people had seen me, which caused many people to be dissatisfied, but Lian Zhen didn't speak next to him, so they naturally didn't dare to say anything.
I scolded for a few minutes, opened the demon gate and Dongzi left. And when I was scolding, in the luxurious courtyard of the imperial capital, the graceful mother-in-law teased Su Xiaobai in her arms, listened to the report of the attendant, her face was cloudy, and finally snorted heavily, and ordered the Seven Star Guard Giant Gate around me to say: The matter of the Southern Wilderness is solved, let Qin Yue invite him to the imperial capital, I want to take a good look at how many teeth he has grown.
Dongzi and I didn't know, but I came out of the demon gate on the way and couldn't help but shudder. Dongzi said suspiciously: "Brother Shi, could it be that your mother-in-law heard you scolding her and wanted to do something behind her back?" ”
I gave him a blank look, opened the demon gate and hurried towards Linglong City. I saw that my mother-in-law wanted to ask my daughter-in-law about the situation of her sister, so that she could deal with it, but she didn't see me, which meant that she didn't know anything, but fortunately, there was still Linglong City, and Linglong left with her, and her cronies might know the situation.
The last time I came to Linglong City was half a year ago, I didn't come after the turmoil in the imperial capital, and now I come back and find that many places have been rebuilt, and it seems that in the impact of the Grand Alliance, as the main city of the empire, it has been damaged to a certain extent.
I was more surprised that it was Leng Yan who was stationed in Linglong City, and I couldn't wait to ask when I met at the city gate: "Where is your army?" Why did you come to defend the city? ”
He has a heavy army in his hand, it is impossible to come to Linglong City to be a city manager, I look like Dongzi, he nodded firmly with his eyes, which means that the heavy army of the empire is indeed in Leng Yan's hands.
Leng Yan didn't speak, but led me to the City Lord's Mansion, and only after sitting down did he take out a map and open it, I curiously leaned over and looked at it, and found that there was an imperial symbol starting from the Northern Plains, extending to the Western Barbarian Forte, and finally going deep into the Southern Wilderness.
If you connect all the dots, it happens to be a route that runs from north to south. I flipped over the map and looked at the texture, it was something that was some time old, not recent.
Leng Yan saw that I had found a problem, and said with a smile: "We discovered a lot of secrets during the counterinsurgency alliance, including the news that the Southern Wilderness was preparing to invade the empire on a large scale. ”
I rubbed my nose and waited for him like a fool, but I didn't care about the intrigues except for worrying about my daughter-in-law's sister.
Leng Yan continued: "Chiyue has not made any achievements in guarding the northern frontier for many years, but he has mined the ore used to make arrows in the army, and accidentally found a shortcut to the Western Barbarians, which is just right to turn into the Southern Wilderness......"
I heard this interrupt him and said: "So the purpose of attacking the city to the Western Barbarians is just to open the line, so that the army of the empire can enter the Southern Wilderness without knowing it, and Nandou eats, drinks and has fun all day long, just to confuse them?" ”
"That's pretty much it, but because Nandou is on the wrong side, he doesn't know about the plan for the southern expedition, but he is ordered not to attack but to defend. Wait until the Southern Wilderness marches into the Sword City! Leng Yan said and smiled: "I didn't think that guy lost more than 100,000 troops in the Southern Expedition, and the situation changed, so His Highness had to attack the Southern Wilderness in advance!" ”
He wanted to continue, but I covered my forehead and said, "Stop, I have a headache, now I want to know where Qin Yue is, whether it will be dangerous, and does she know the purpose of the desolate master?" ”
I didn't dare to point out the existence of the small world, so I asked vaguely. Leng Yan smiled: "I am in Linglong City, so I am waiting for you to come and tell you the truth." The secret of the blood blade and the blood stick was ordered by His Highness to be introduced to the Southern Wilderness, otherwise they would not have gathered heavy troops to come! ”
"Huh!" I couldn't help laughing, no wonder my daughter-in-law and sister have been thinking about the blood blade, it turned out to be used as bait, but she threw the rod down, and she could get the entire Southern Wilderness, but it pushed me and Dongzi to the forefront.
Now not only Su Lin and the desolate lord are worried, but after the spread spreads, the strong people of the Northern Plains and the Western Barbarians will flock to it, and the most unacceptable thing for me is that in her plan, Sword City is an outcast.
Nandou is also an abandoned son like me, after all, the army of Sword City has retreated, and the southern expeditionary army is only 300,000, and the annihilation of the whole army can't stop the army of the Southern Wilderness, not to mention that the owner of the wasteland came over in person, and the masters gathered......
I kept laughing, Leng Yan looked at his expression becoming more and more solemn, and comforted him: "Your Highness's plan was not told to you in advance, because I am afraid that you will not be able to accept it." But throughout the plan, she put your safety first, and to marry a wife like her, you have to have ......"
"I know!" I stood up, my face was so cold that I didn't have any expression, and said, "Since this is not bothering General Leng, we will go back to Sword City now!" ”
Leng Yan stood up with me and said, "Su Yan, you have to stay, if you want to drag down the army of the Southern Wilderness, Sword City must ......"
I gritted my teeth and said word by word: "General Leng Yan, farewell!" ”
On the way back from Kitahara, I also coquetted with my daughter-in-law and sister, wanting her to leave me a place to live and a free place for the earthlings who will come here in the future. In order to make her do well, I also issued two bans, but I didn't think that in the end, Sword City was sold.
Thinking back to the past now, I shudder, Leng Yan attacked Sword City a year ago, it may be a step in today's chess game, but she didn't expect me to defend it, and after the failure, she casually found an excuse to coax me over.
In Qin Yue's eyes, the existence of Sword City was just a pawn for her to encroach on the Southern Wilderness, and when she said that she wanted to unify the Xuan Realm, it was not as simple as just talking.
Leng Yan got up and stopped me and Dongzi and said, "You will make me embarrassed like this, and Qin Yue will not feel at ease on the front line." Hearing the movement, more than a dozen gold-armored guards poured in outside.
I glanced around, my gaze fell back on Leng Yan, and I asked coldly, "If it were you, would you abandon your soldiers and make a living?" ”
He avoided my gaze and did not answer. I asked again, "If you were Nandou, what would you think when you knew the truth?" ”
When asked this question, Leng Yan's complexion finally changed, and he stared at me and said, "Su Yan, Qin Yue has paid too much to seize the rights of the empire, Nandou, from the moment he stood on the wrong side, there is no such person, and the Dou clan will be compensated accordingly." ”
Nandou was on the wrong side at the beginning, but he stepped forward when guarding the imperial capital, and then there was no dissent, if he was ruthlessly abandoned because of the original stain, the daughter-in-law's sister's approach made me feel too cold.
Leng Yan still wanted to say something, I sighed and preemptively said, "I know what you want to say, but today I have to leave no matter what." ”
"My duty is to keep an eye on you and keep you safe!" Leng Yan stood in the way, and the mark on his eyebrows began to glow.
I know my daughter-in-law's sister's heart, but I can't accept that Sword City has become a dead city, if I don't go back, Nandou's hundreds of thousands of Southern Expeditionary Army and Sword City's 200,000 people will cease to exist.
Exchanging 300,000 people for the entire Southern Wilderness is worth it in the eyes of power, but it is not worth it in my eyes. Leng Yan won't let me go today, but I must go back, otherwise the Sword City will fall, and there will be 300,000 souls between Qin Yue and me, a rift that can never be repaired.
Moreover, the blood blade and the blood stick are related to the future of the Su family, and there can be no problem.
