"The difficult pot pass is surrounded?"

On the eastern defense line of the Xuanwu Domain, Guan Xin sat in the military tent, listening to the reports of his generals, his face was slightly groaning.

In half a year, his red hair has grown longer, almost shoulder armor, and his originally immature face seems to be stained with wind and frost, and he is extremely calm against the scars.

"Yes, Lord Lang. Two days ago, the Nanhu Pass had been encircled by the Northern Holy Army and the Eastern Holy Army from the west, north, and south, although the Eastern Holy Army in the south was still under the pressure of the beast tide, but as long as the Difficult Hukou Pass was opened, the Northern Holy Army would be able to drive straight into and fight together with the Eastern Holy Army. ”

Guan Xin looked down at the military map on the wooden table, and couldn't help but squint.

"Deliberately using the riots in the southeast as a precept to make the brutes think that their purpose is to flank that force, but in fact they are aiming at the Nanhu Pass in the north...... It's a shame that the brute beasts don't have a complete grasp of the human intelligence, and in their eyes, it should mean that those people who are in chaos in the White Tiger Domain are also the forces of the empire...... Huh!"

"Lang General?"

Seeing Guan Xin staring at the map and whispering, the subordinates couldn't help but shout.

"yes, I see. Guan Xin restrained his emotions, nodded and asked, "Xuanwu City, what about the Southern Saint Army, have they made any moves?"

"According to the information sent by General Shi Shenlang, the Southern Saint Army's side has been reorganized, and the Great Commander Wolf Head and the Tsuruta City Lord seem to have discussed the battle plan, but there is no mention of our joint defense army, and even General Shi Shenlang and General Mary Solang do not seem to be among the candidates for this battle. ”

"Oh?"

Guan Xin's face was different, and he immediately calmed down after a while.

"You go down first. ”

The subordinate nodded, bowed and exited the military tent.

Guan Xin's eyes narrowed.

Really...... Or is it suspected?

It has been more than a year since the battle of Qinguan Town, because of the relationship between the 'Fire Girl' Fa Er, he joined the Xuanwu Army as Si Ge, and after dozens of battles of all sizes, he has been promoted several levels in a year's time, and now he is on the same level as the original Xuanwu City Liulang General, and his status is almost the same as that of the town lord of the first-level town, and the first-level town-city combined army that was integrated by him was simply divided and controlled by him, collectively known as the joint defense army, which is specifically responsible for the war outside the first-level defense line of the Xuanwu Domain.

After several expansions, the joint defense army not only absorbed the military strength of the four first-level towns and cities, but also integrated the second- and third-level towns and cities in the Xuanwu Domain, and even the original Xuanwu Army also divided part of the military strength to join the defense army under the joint proposal of Stone Fall and Marisol, and now it has expanded to 150,000 troops, which is much more than the Xuanwu Army during the total victory, but the average strength is naturally incomparable.

Controlling the 150,000 army is actually beyond the right of a Lang general, but Guan Xin stayed outside the first-level defense line very dutifully, plus there were several Lang generals such as Shi Meteor in Xuanwu City to help speak, and even if the city lord forces of Xuanwu City were afraid of him, an emerging faction, they still did not make a move against him.

However, since the Southern Saint Army entered the city, it has put forward several plans to incorporate the United Defense Army, but Guan Xin has used the joint petition of low-level towns and cities to force it back, although the wolf leader who is the commander of the Southern Saint Army has not shown a negative attitude because of this, but there is a layer of estrangement between the United Defense Army and the Southern Saint Army, and even the Xuanwu Army led by Tsuruta Shinichi.

The counteroffensive of the White Tiger Domain is actually a signal that the empire has begun a full-scale operation, judging from the appearance of the holy war army after the civil and military exercises, the empire should want to use the holy war army as the main force in the third human and barbarian war, but the discussion of the battle plan of the wolf head did not include the joint defense army, and even the two generals who were close to the defense army, Shi Cheng and Marisuel, were excluded, this attitude has explained some problems.

And in addition to this combat discussion, Guan Xin has several issues that he is more concerned about, one of which is the disappearance of Qiao Ximing and Wei Lun.

The ladder trial of civil and military talents is not closed, the four ladders stand horizontally above the imperial capital, and the battle situation from beginning to end is in the eyes of the people of the imperial capital, although because of the speed of time, it seems to be a film that has been slowed down dozens of times, but this does not prevent them from clearly seeing the change in the sky and the demons that followed.

Guan Xin knew that the so-called demon Daoist was Qiao Ximing, but he and Wei Lun had both escaped from the Heavenly Ladder from the hands of the Emperor of the Abandoned Boat, but they had never made contact with him, which made him have to doubt the safety of the two.

In addition, there was another thing that made him even more vigilant.

In terms of the Eastern Holy Army, Huang Liu, who is the head of the White Tiger Ladder, has become one of the six generals of the Eastern Holy Army, and the Western Holy Army has directly made Caesar, the head of the Blue Dragon Heavenly Ladder, the commander of the Western Holy Army, the commander of the Western Holy Army, but on the side of the Southern Holy Army, Du Tianwen, who has won the head of the Xuanwu Heavenly Ladder, has lost news after being rewarded in the imperial capital.

Not only Du Tianwen, but also Wei Mugen, who is the second in the Xuanwu Heavenly Ladder, and the twin sisters who serve Du Tianwen, have all disappeared from everyone's sight, and the six generals of the Southern Saint Army are Qin Ziyu of the Qin family, the mysterious Oda Sakura, and the other four Heavenly Ladder trialists.

This situation is obviously inconsistent with the situation of the Holy War Army in other three regions, and when you think of the disappearance of Qiao Ximing and Wei Lun, Guan Xin's vigilance has risen to the peak.

He doubted that the empire was already questioning the relationship between all the people related to the Du family and the Wu clan!

The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that among the six generals of the Southern Holy Army, in addition to Qin Ziyu, there was still an acquaintance of his.

- Guan Tietang!

Qin Zhen Challenge, Guan Tietang participated in the captaincy competition, and almost died in order to win, but fortunately he was rescued by Mari Solang, but he didn't want to break through the shackles of strength, and was sent to Xuanwu City by Frank to participate in the civil and military exercises, and finally made a splash, showing terrible combat power, and the battle with Oda Sakura became a draw.

Although this tie took advantage of Oda Sakura's injury, it was enough to show that Guan Tietang's terror increased.

It is ridiculous that an obscure little lieutenant became an imperial general a year later, but now it really happened to Guan Tietang.

"Within the Southern Holy Army, except for Guan Tietang, Qin Ziyu should have helped us for the sake of his Qin family's face, but his attitude was ...... It's so subtle!"

Guan Tietang is indeed the general with the best attitude towards the United Defense Force in the Southern Saint Army, but Qin Ziyu, who is also out of Qin Town, behaves very strangely, ignoring Guan Xin's solicitation through Shi Chenglang, and cultivating behind closed doors nine times out of ten, seemingly not interested in everything in the outside world.

"Could it be that he is still estranged because of the grudge between the Qin and Du families?"

Guan Xin shook his head, but he couldn't figure out Qin Ziyu's true attitude.

"Leave him alone...... Now that the Difficult Tiger Pass is surrounded, the situation in the White Tiger Domain should change soon, and the Xuanwu Domain has been holding its ground on the grounds of Yuyuan Tide, but if the beast tide in the White Tiger Domain is repulsed, I'm afraid that the Southern Saint Army will not be calm anymore, and even the northwest direction may have to start contact again!"

Thinking in his heart, the meridians on the back of Guan Xin's hand were already tense.

"Time is running out...... Qiao Ximing, where the hell are you?"

Call!

A wisp of wind blew into the military tent, Guan Xin's eyes shrank, and he turned his head to look at the corner on the side.

In the corner, there was a dark shadow.

"You guy, why are you always so elusive, aren't you afraid that I will be some kind of sneaky guy and cut you with a knife?" Seeing the truth of the black shadow, Guan Xin immediately opened his mouth angrily.

The black shadow replied coldly: "You can try to see if your knife can hit me." ”

Moving slightly, the shimmer illuminated the face of the black shadow, but it was a member of the War Capital, Ruan Xue.

"Whew! It's still so loud, it's really unpleasant...... What's the matter, isn't it going well on your end?"

"The uprising went well, but Sedona was in some trouble. ”

Guan Xin was taken aback: "Sedona, what's wrong with her?"

Ruan Xue stared at Guan Xin with a pair of dead fish eyes, but his expressionless appearance made the anxious Guan Xin blush, and coughed twice to cover it up.

She volunteered to lead an uprising in the secondary area, and narrowly missed when she encountered a beast general who was not under intelligence, but was eventually rescued. ”

Hearing that Sedona was fine, Guan Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, after being rescued, she took it upon herself to detour outside of our original range of activities, and had several conflicts with the brutes......

"What? Why would she do such a dangerous thing?"

Ruan Xue paused, and when Guan Xin finished asking, he coldly said what he hadn't finished speaking: "...... In the end, she liberated a second-level gathering area and three third-level gathering areas, and exterminated four beast generals, and the number of beast soldiers was unknown. ”

"Liberated...... Four clusters?"

Guan Xin was dumbfounded, and suddenly reacted after a moment: "You mean, she caused the chaos?"

Ruan Xue nodded and shook his head again.

"What do you mean?

Ruan Xue's face was expressionless, and he replied lightly: "She led the people over, but the death of those brute beasts has nothing to do with her." ”

Guan Xin frowned: "'She led the person', what kind of person do you say?"

"I don't know. ”

Guan Xin was stunned for a moment, and then heard Ruan Xue continue: "Dan Ding Yao said that you know." ”

Bang!

Guan Xin slapped his palm on the table.

"Did you do it on purpose? Can you hurry up and get it done!"

Looking at the green tendons on his forehead, Ruan Xue pursed his lips lightly.

"Ding Yao said, that person is the same as him, and his surname is Qiao, you should know who it is, right?"

When the words fell, Guan Xin's eyes were already wide and trembling, but he didn't make a sound.

Now it was Ruan Xue's turn to frown.

"Hey, redhead, did you hear that?"

Guan Xin didn't seem to hear Ruan Xue's name for himself, but a voice finally appeared in his mouth.

"It's him, it's him...... Qiao Ximing, he's back!"
