Since I realized the way of the sword, I want to compete with Cui Mo again, but who knows that Cui Mo will not want to compete again. No matter how He Feng ridiculed him, how Xiao Yunmei provoked him, Cui Mo just didn't want to. I shook my head. I'm afraid that this path to get information about the masked man will no longer work.

When I am free, I pass on the secret weapon technique of He Feng Taoist, although He Feng's internal skills are not strong, but he already has some foundation.

He Fenglian's internal strength heart method comes from Fusang, which is unique compared with my original internal strength heart method. I want to correct, but I can't start, I have to let him practice more qi, if the internal strength is not through the Great Zhoutian, I am afraid that the flying sword will not be able to make it, I think this is why the original master can only "fly chopsticks" instead of "flying sword". As for when He Feng will be able to breathe through the Great Zhou Tian, it can only depend on his creation.

That night, I was invited to a night banquet by King Yan.

After sitting down, I couldn't help but be stunned when I saw the person opposite.

King Yan pointed to the person opposite me and introduced to everyone, this is the Tang Sect Leader of the White Lotus Sect. After speaking, he pointed to me and introduced to others, this is the virtuous son-in-law of this king, Zhishan.

Through the introduction of King Yan, I learned that in addition to me and Tang Sai'er, the others were the envoys of the vassal kings.

Tang Sai'er and I got up at the same time, saluted everyone, and bowed our hands to each other. When I sat down, I peeked at Tang Sai'er, but Tang Sai'er was expressionless, as if he really didn't know me.

After sitting down again, King Yan told everyone that this time there was two good news and one bad news. The first good news is that the King of Qi and the King of Tang feinted to attack the capital, the guards of the capital hurriedly met the battle, and the beggars took the opportunity to rescue the two Hong gang leaders, who are currently on their way to Beiping. My nephew was furious, and sent two armies and horses to pursue the troops of the King of Qi and the King of Tang, and now the men and horses of the two royal brothers have retreated to Beiping. The second good news is that the two groups of men and horses chasing the two royal brothers have just arrived in Dingzhou, and they are repelled by the formation set by the sincerity of Bo Liu Lao, these two roads of men and horses have suffered heavy casualties, the emperor is furious, and has ordered the whole army to attack, vowing to set foot in my Beiping.

When everyone heard this, they raised their glasses to congratulate King Yan.

After drinking the wine, King Yan said again, after the good news is finished, it is this bad news. The emperor sent more than 500,000 troops this time, while my army guarding Beiping was only more than 100,000. With the addition of several princes' troops, the total number was less than 250,000.

There is a messenger who said that the army of King Yan has been fighting against the Mongolian iron cavalry all the year round, and it can be described as an elite division. Although the emperor's troops are large, they have not fought for many years, and the two armies have clashed, so I think our chances of victory will be higher.

Another envoy followed, although our number is small, but there are talents like Liu Bowen, and there are countless good generals, so King Yan doesn't have to worry so much.

Master Zhengyan sighed and said, you don't know, the bad news that King Yan said is that according to the spies, Mongolia is also gathering a large army, and the emperor must have united Mongolia and wanted to attack Beiping from the north and south.

King Yan nodded and said, My nephew should have made conditions to Mongolia, so that Mongolia agreed to cooperate with his plan to attack Beiping this time. If what I expected was good, the condition of the promise was that after taking us, I would give up Beiping to Mongolia.

Everyone gasped. The emperor was on the verge of exterminating the Yan king this time, and even agreed to the Mongols' request to cede land.

Someone patted the table and said, "The emperor has this move, what kind of face will he have to see the emperor in the future?" Ceding the land is simply a humiliation for my Ming Dynasty.

Yan Wang Dao, the Mongolian army is about 150,000 people. If both sides attack our Beiping at the same time, Beiping will be in danger. Fortunately, with the help of the Tang Sect Leader of the White Lotus Sect this time, plus the Shanghai Beggars Gang, this battle is not impossible to fight.

Master Zhengyan nodded and said, "That's right." The Mongol army had to resist under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yan. His Royal Highness has fought hundreds of battles with the Mongolian army over the years, and he has long been aware of the Mongolian army's combat methods. The army sent by the emperor needs to be fought by the princes and the White Lotus Sect.

Suddenly, the envoys were discussing, and even Tang Sai'er couldn't sit still. Tang Sai'er asked, your princes' army and horses are less than 150,000, and my White Lotus Sect is less than 100,000, how can these 250,000 people resist the 500,000 emperor's army? Not to mention that although there are many people in my White Lotus Sect, they lack combat experience. This......

Master Zhengyan smiled, turned to me and asked, what do you think?

I thought for a moment and replied, I guess that the emperor's 500,000 troops and horses will definitely not be used to attack Beiping, at least 100,000 will be left to prevent the beggars from making trouble. The prince's army and horses plus the disciples of the White Lotus Sect, these more than 200,000 people are led by Chengyi Bo, and it may not be possible to retreat 400,000 enemy troops, but in the short term, Beiping City will not be broken, with Liu Lao's ability, it should not be difficult. So as long as the swallow ...... As long as the father-in-law fights the enemy Mongolian army quickly, quickly defeats the Mongolian army, and then returns to Beiping, then great things can be accomplished.

Master Zheng Yan and King Yan looked at me in surprise at the same time, which made me panic for a moment and asked, What's wrong?

Master Zheng Yan smiled, "That's exactly what we planned. The nephew actually guessed eight or nine.

Tang Sai'er suddenly realized, glanced at me, and said, according to my White Lotus Sect spies, there are the emperor's troops in the open who came to besiege Beiping this time, and there are still Dongying ninja assassins and Taoists in the secret. It is easy to defend the army in Beiping City, but it is difficult to defend people in the martial arts. No matter how high the city wall is, for martial arts masters, it is just a little bit of effort. Those ninja assassins and masters of the Taoist sect will definitely sneak into the city and assassinate the generals in the city. Liu Lao will definitely be the first target of assassination, and the senior general in charge of the city's defense will also be among the assassins.

A messenger asked, I wonder how long it will take His Royal Highness King Yan to take down the Mongol army?

King Yan muttered, the Mongol army and the emperor are attacking Beiping on both sides, they will think that we only dare to take a defensive position, if this king takes the initiative to attack, he will definitely be able to catch them off guard. As soon as the Mongol army was in chaos, the king only needed to chase the enemy for dozens of miles with one blow, and believed that he could annihilate more than half of the Mongol army. This time and again, it will not take more than a month.

Master Zhengyan said that Beiping only needs to hold on for a month, and when His Royal Highness King Yan triumphs, he can fight to the death with the emperor's army. As for the Taoists and Fusang ninjas, Zhishan still needs to worry about it. In any case, you have to protect Liu Bowen.

I asked, if I stay in Beiping, who will protect King Yan?

Master Zhengyan said that the old man would personally accompany King Yan. In addition, your Uncle Huiyin has arrived in Beiping, and your Uncle Huiyin is secretly protecting King Yan, and King Yan's safety does not need to be worried.

I nodded.

After the dinner, when everyone dispersed, Tang Sai'er approached and whispered, Zhishan stayed.

When I was about to ask something, King Yan saw us and walked to say, Shan'er, it just so happens that I asked General Li, who is guarding the city, to take you and Sect Master Tang to the city wall to have a look, and you can discuss how to deploy defenses against the people in the martial arts. Yuying: I'll go say hello and say you'll go back later.

I replied at the same time as Tang Sayer, yes.

General Li took Tang Sai'er and me around the Beiping city wall, constantly introducing the deployment of the city defense, where to hide the throwing stones, where to hide the fire oil, and where to hide the water and sand to extinguish the fire. Tang Sai'er looked all the way outside the city wall, and arranged various matters to the White Lotus disciples who followed him as he watched. After a while, General Li and I walked to the front, and Tang Sai'er was getting farther and farther away from us.

General Li looked back at Tang Sai'er and the others, and whispered to me, This Tang Sect Master is not simple.

I asked, why is it not easy?

General Li said, what I heard from her just now is not the weakness of our city wall. For example, there was a section of the city wall with a large slope before, and it has not been repaired for a long time, we have tried it outside the city, and people with quick hands and feet can climb directly down the slope. I have reported to King Yan many times, but King Yan has not approved the renovation of this section of the city wall on the grounds of tight military spending. Sect Leader Tang said that during the war, that section of the city wall must be coated with cooking oil, so that the city wall surface is slippery, and those broken points have nowhere to borrow, and this section of the city wall cannot be climbed.

I nodded, I heard that the White Lotus Sect had fought with the first emperor, and I guess I have a lot of experience in warfare. So King Yan arranged for her to check the city defense together.

General Li asked, I don't know what you think about the city defense after watching it for so long?

I was stunned. Suddenly remembered that Yuying married me, and Yuying was named the lord of Yong'an, so wouldn't I be a guest of honor?

I thought about it and said, I am a martial arts person, and I almost don't know anything about city defense. King Yan asked me to check the city defenses, naturally targeting Fuso ninjas and Taoist assassins. It just so happens that one of my apprentices is a Fuso ninja, so if you let him come and see it, he might get something.

General Li was overjoyed, and said that the troublesome lord would bring the Fuso ninja tomorrow, and the lower official would definitely ask someone to record the suggestions he made for rectification.

General Li and I walked and chatted, and before we knew it, it was time.

General Li needed to change shifts, and we made an appointment that I would bring He Feng to meet here at noon, and General Li would retire after speaking.

When General Li got down the city wall, I looked back and saw Tang Sai'er and the others, and remembered that she seemed to have something to say to me after the dinner, so I walked towards her. When Tang Sai'er saw me enter, he waved his subordinates away, perhaps a little tired, and leaned against the city wall, standing against the wall. After I approached, I also learned from her leaning against the city wall, and asked, I don't know if the Tang Sect Master stopped me before, is it love?

Tang Sai'er said, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not.

I nodded, but it didn't hurt.

Tang Sai'er glanced at me and turned his head to look out of the city wall.

It was the beginning of December, and the days were short and the nights were long. Although it was already midday, the sky was still dark, but the torches on the walls illuminated the place where we stood.

Under the illumination of the firelight, Tang Sai'er reflected that delicate and familiar face. I don't know how many times I've dreamed of this face, and I know that staring at her at this time and now is extremely rude, but I can't take my eyes off it. Tang Sai'er didn't seem to notice my rudeness, and suddenly said, I was in Beijing, and I heard the story of "The Legend of Daxia Zhishan". I know you're in love with Sakura, but that's all in the past. You are now the son-in-law of King Yan, and the lord of Yong'an also has a deep affection for you, should you leave the past behind and look to a new life?

I was stunned and asked, why are you saying this?

Tang Sai'er turned around, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said to me, Yong'an didn't tell you, did I have a good relationship with her? I said this for Yong'an. Last time...... I can see from the last incident that you are still thinking about the eldest lady of Wudang in your heart.

I didn't say no, I heard Tang Sai'er say that I misunderstood her as Sakura Ling last time, my old face turned red, and I asked casually, You didn't tell Yuying about that.

Tang Sai'er snorted coldly and said, You still know that you can't tell the county lord. Deficit County advocates that it's all you who keep your mouth shut. As he spoke, Tang Sai'er's eyes were full of mockery.

I heard Tang Sai'er's snort, and saw her eyes slanting at me with contempt, only to feel that her eyes were gradually a little trance-

"I'm not a villain, she's not a gentleman, why don't you go and see now before you draw conclusions. Don't you dare to go?"

"Why don't you dare to go? We'll go now. If Xiaocui is not a liar, do you dare to admit that you are a villain?"

"What don't you dare?

......

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and the torches were blown loudly, Tang Sai'er couldn't help but clench his arms, and I also woke up from my memories.

I watched her exhale a cloud of white gas, took off my coat, wrapped her, and said softly, It's cold, be careful of getting cold. The matter of city defense can be considered in the long run.

When I walked far down the city wall, I couldn't help but look back, but saw Tang Sai'er standing in place in a daze, holding the clothes draped on his body with his hands crossed.
