"Look at my brother's impatient temperament, I forgot that Brother Ye Chen just crossed the Hengduan Canyon to get here, so I dragged you to run around, it really shouldn't be. In this way, I will arrange a place to rest first, and after Brother Ye Chen, you have enough spirits, and then start to prepare for the refining of wooden oxen and horses. ”

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, seeing so many refining materials, although he was itching in his heart to take out each one and try it, but after all, this was the material of Fengling City, and he should still be calm before he did the agreed content. What's more, Ye Chen is also very clear about the importance of the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse to Fengling City, so Ye Chen also needs to take some time to think about it carefully, how to use a more suitable refining method and a more scientific material combination to refine the most suitable Wooden Ox Flowing Horse for Fengling City.

Leaving the warehouse with Baili Dengfeng, on the way back, Ye Chen saw a soldier with bright armor running in a hurry in the distance, and when he saw his side, his eyes showed an excited look.

"Brother Baili! Brother Baili! I have finally, finally found you......"

Baili Dengfeng stood still first, and when the person came to the front, he put on a straight face and said, "What are you panicking about?" How many times have I taught you, don't be so frizzy in the City Lord's Mansion, even if the sky falls, you must calm down your mentality first. Also, what should you call me at work?"

"Yes, Chief of the Guard!" the soldier straightened up and saluted with a military salute of the Great Yin Dynasty.

"Say, what's the matter with being so anxious to find me?" Baili Dengfeng returned the salute, his face looked much better, and then asked.

"It's the city lord who has returned, and he is anxious to see the chief of the guard. ”

"Brother Mao Ling is back?" Baili Dengfeng subconsciously frowned, and muttered quietly before he spoke solemnly: "Where is the city lord now?"

Looking at Baili Dengfeng's curious gaze just now, the soldier said smartly: "The city lord should still be patrolling the southern city now, but I don't know why, just now, he suddenly came back, and there was a strange middle-aged man with him. Judging by the man's dress, it looks like a ...... Those who always came to the chief of the guard and the lord of the castle before did not want to give their names. ”

"Got it, count your kid with a heart. Baili Dengfeng patted the shoulder of the soldier in front of him to show encouragement, "So, the city lord should take someone in the living room now?" Okay, I'll go over right away, you go back and continue your duty." ”

"Yes. ”

Seeing that the soldiers had gone away, Baili Dengfeng was still standing motionless, Ye Chen obviously felt that Baili Dengfeng's situation was a little strange, "What's the matter, Brother Baili, the city lord suddenly came back and was in a hurry to find you, is there some emergency in Fengling City?"

Hearing Ye Chen's voice, Baili Dengfeng obviously came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, Brother Ye Chen, you don't have to worry." ”

"That'...... Why did Brother Baili look a little distracted just now?"

Seeing Ye Chen's question, Baili Dengfeng had to answer: "It's just that, judging from the news I got just now, Brother Mao Ling should have just thought of going with me." Brother Ye Chen, do you remember, I told you before, Brother Mao Ling and I have always been worried about the strategy of retreating into the Hengduan Canyon to wait for a counterattack?"

"I remember. Ye Chen nodded, his heart was the words he had just heard, how could he have forgotten it so quickly, and then he understood the meaning of Baili Dengfeng, "So...... The person that the city lord of Mao Ling brought back just now is also a puppeteer?"

Baili Dengfeng didn't answer, which was equivalent to acquiescing to Ye Chen's guess, but there was even more anxiety in his eyes, "No, let's go see Brother Mao Ling as soon as possible, Big Brother He doesn't know the situation on our side, and it won't be good to have any misunderstanding when the time comes." ”

In Baili Dengfeng's opinion, the puppeteers are all mysterious and secretive and not very good-tempered guys, and Baili Dengfeng doesn't want Ye Chen to have any misunderstanding with another puppeteer because of his relationship, or even any hatred. As for Ye Chen, he was simply a little excited in his heart, he had never been able to find a chance to deal with other puppeteers during the time he had learned puppetry, and such a good opportunity was in front of him, so naturally he should not miss it.

Although the starting point of the two was completely different, they invariably quickened their pace, and walked in the direction of the city lord's mansion meeting room one after the other, and in the distance, they could hear the voice coming from the hall.

The first time he heard the sound, Baili Dengfeng stopped, and at the same time stretched out his hand to signal Ye Chen to stop, and the two leaned on the side outside the door of the living room, quietly listening to the words coming from it.

"Mao Ling City Lord, listen to my advice, although the puppet technique can participate in creation, it is not omnipotent. Since Fengling City has collected so many materials, it is better for me to refine the puppet beasts that act on the city defense, so that in the face of Daxia's attack, maybe I can have a few more chances of winning. Of course, help is help, and the benefits that should be taken are also indispensable. ”

"Mr. Higashi, I understand what you mean. But...... After all, holding on is not a long-term solution, and the top priority for Fengling City now is to have one more way out and achieve strategic diversification. ”

"Mao Ling City Lord!" In the living room, another person's voice was obviously a little unceremonious, "I said, your naïve idea is impossible to realize, in the heyday of our puppet sect, there may be predecessors who can refine such puppet beasts, but after the strife of the chaotic martial arts era, many of the predecessors' inheritances have not been left, and now ...... It can only be said that there is nothing to help. ”

"Who said it was impossible!" Hearing the conversation in the living room, Baili Dengfeng immediately made a decision, pulling Ye Chen and rushing directly to the hall.

Hastily pulled into the living room, Ye Chen's eyes swept away, and he saw a man sitting on the left and right in the hall. The man on the left, dressed in armor as black as ink, with a knife-like face and a short-sized stubble on his chin, can feel the manly atmosphere even from a distance. The man on the right is much more harmless in comparison, dressed in sackcloth and linen pants, and he doesn't have any aggression at first glance.

"Dengfeng, you're finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Seeing Baili Dengfeng appear, the man in armor stood up excitedly, obviously not noticing Baili Dengfeng's words just now. "Come on, come on, I'm struggling in my head, but fortunately you're here, you can help me come up with ideas......"
