readx;? Lou Zong's nest is in the boundary of the closed city, but it is not in the closed city, and less than twenty miles outside the east gate of the closed city, there is a fortress that is as impregnable as the imperial city, and this huge fortress is where the old nest of the closed city is located. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

And the thousands of sect disciples in the Lou Sect all gathered here, if you want to avoid a large-scale fight, trying to contain the Lou Sect disciples in this fortress has become the top priority.

There are three cities closest to each other around the lockdown city, and these three cities have also become the most important move in Lu Yifan's plan to deal with Lou Zong.

"Ji Yuan, there's something I'm going to trouble you!" Lu Yifan rolled his eyes and said to Ji Yuan.

"Yifan, say it!" Ji Yuan couldn't help but look straight when he heard this, and then he stood up with the momentum, as if he had received an order.

"I want you and General Pang He to quietly leave the closed city overnight with the Protector Decree, go to the three cities closest to the closed city one after another, find the general commander and use the Protector Token to order, secretly take over all their city troops, I expect that the city army of the three cities should add up to more than 3,000 people, and then secretly mobilize these 3,000 city troops to wait fifty miles east of the closed city!" Lu Yifan looked solemn, frowned, and said while thinking, " This has to be done in two days, and you two will have to improvise as to what to do. After the 3,000 city troops were arranged, Ji Yuan was responsible for supervising the battalion. And General Pang wants to rush back to the camp of the closed city, gather the 1,500 defenders of the closed city, secretly transfer to the camp fifty miles east of the city overnight, and join Ji Yuan, and wait until the night of the flower face sacrifice, we will do it in the city, you have to march for thirty miles in one fell swoop to surround the nest of Louzong, you don't need to start a fight, you just need to trap them and stalemate with them all night!"

"What if the people in command of the three cities don't obey their orders?" asked Ji Yuan with some doubts.

"Salute first, then soldier!" Lu Yifan replied happily, "And that's why I asked Pang He to go with you." As the same general, General Pang He must have an old relationship with those three generals, and with him with him, it will naturally be much easier for you to do things! Moreover, I don't believe that just these city army commanders dare to ignore the majesty of the decree to protect the country!"

"Actually, it's easy to mobilize the city army of the three cities, but the problem is that it seems a bit troublesome to transfer the 1,500 defenders of our west battalion out together!" Pang He frowned and said, "Can these 1,500 defenders join forces in the city?"

"Do you think we're going to attack the city?" Lu Yifan's eyes narrowed slightly, he didn't dare to take it lightly until he fully understood Pang He's intentions, "There are at least three or four thousand disciples of Lou Zong, not to mention that their overall strength is stronger than your city army, if we can't surpass them in terms of numbers and then compete with them, then how can we trap Lou Zong's disciples?"

"Lord Lu misunderstood, it's not that I don't want to mobilize the defenders in the city, it's just that ......" Pang He seemed a little embarrassed when he said this.

"Just what?"

"It's just that if I want to transfer the city army out of the city, then I must go through the city defense guards, these guards are our own people, but the four guards in charge of defense are all Lou Zong's people, and these four people will take turns to report the current city trends to Lou Zong every day or two, especially for the city army that enters and leaves the city on a large scale, it is necessary to report it in time, and I am afraid that I will ...... then" Pang He said and glanced at Lu Yifan quite embarrassedly, " I'm afraid that our side has just mobilized troops, and Lou Zong has already been affected by the rumors and ruined our entire plan!"

"Yes, these Lou Sect disciples who handle the city gate are different from the four Lou Sect disciples stationed in the big camp. These disciples in charge of the city defense have to report to Lou Zong at all times, which means that if we kill them directly like the generals of the big battalion, I am afraid that we will attract the attention of Lou Zong at once!" Fang Chengtian echoed.

"In other words, these four people in charge of city defense can't be killed?" Lu Yifan muttered with a frown.

"Can't kill, can't kill!" Fang Chengtian and Pang He said almost in unison.

"Since you can't kill it, can you buy it?" asked Ji Yuan.

"It's difficult, these people are all the cronies of the Five Tigers of Lou Zong, it will be very difficult to buy them with gold and silver!" Pang He said, "And once we touch gold and silver on these people, then they must think that we are begging them, I know these bastard things best, the more we beg them, the more they will make it difficult for us!"

"Since you can't buy it with gold and silver, can you threaten it with a sword?" Xie Yun said, "or threaten with poison." ”

"This ...... Maybe it's a solution......" Pang He analyzed to himself.

"We will settle this matter in the next two days, you just have to do your own thing!" Lu Yifan said with a light smile, he obviously said this to Ji Yuan and Pang He, "What you do is the key to the success or failure of the whole thing, so you must be cautious and don't worry about things here!"

"Yes!" Pang He replied respectfully, and Ji Yuan also nodded solemnly to Lu Yifan.

"Then let's go!" After Ji Yuan said goodbye to Lu Yifan and the others, he hurriedly left the Hou Mansion with Pang He, and outside of them leaving the closed city, Pang He had to go back to the camp to explain the rest to his cronies.

"Then what are we going to do while we stay in the city?" asked Liu Sandao.

"Two things!" Lu Yifan slowly stretched out two fingers, "One is to close the city and wait for people to invite you into the urn, and the other is that it's time for us to meet the city lord of the upcoming Southwest Fourteen Cities, whether this matter is successful or not, the attitude of the Southwest Fourteen Cities is very important!"

"The city lords of the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest should come to the city in a day or two after tomorrow, but they generally don't come to visit me, but they have to go to Louzong to pay a visit first, and then they will enter the city and settle down, Lord Lu doesn't know, in fact, the relationship between our Fourteen Cities in the Southwest doesn't sound so close, and there are few contacts between each other now, and many of them still have a supportive attitude towards Louzong, and it is really a shame to say that His Majesty the Emperor!" Fang Chengtian said with a wry smile, " I'm ashamed to say it, but in fact, according to the previous rules, even I have to go to Louzong once in the past two days!"

"Since I used to go every year, this year is no exception!" Lu Yifan's eyes moved, and he said with a chuckle, "You will go to visit the Sect Master Lou tomorrow, don't forget to bring gifts!"

"This ......" Fang Chengtian was a little confused by Lu Yifan's words, he still didn't understand the meaning of Lu Yifan's words, "Lord Lu actually asked me to visit Lou Yi? Did I hear it wrong?"

"You heard you right! You will go every year, but if you don't go to Lou Zong this year, you will definitely be suspicious! And I also want you to take the opportunity of this visit to invite the city lords of the other thirteen cities to have a drink here on the eve of the Flower Face Festival, as a way to express the feelings of colleagues!"

"Lord Lu, what do you mean by this?" Fang Chengtian looked at Lu Yifan in confusion.

"It's not interesting!Lord Lu just wants you to turn the Fourteen Cities in the Southwest into a jade silk!" Mu Dan covered her mouth and smiled, her words were quite funny, obviously she had already understood the intention of Lu Yifan's move.

"That'...... Okay!Since Lord Lu has spoken, then I will take my dog with me tomorrow to visit the Sect Master Lou!" Fang Chengtian agreed helplessly.

"I don't think you need to go!" Before Fang Chengtian's words fell, Liu Sandao suddenly smiled and said, "After all, we still have a hostile relationship with Lou Zong, and it is rumored that Lou Yi has always been very cruel and domineering, and I am afraid that there will be many dangers if you take your noble son with you." Actually, I'm also very curious about this Lou Sect and the so-called Lou Zong Five Tigers, why don't you let me accompany you tomorrow! First, let someone Liu have a long experience, and second, he can also protect you in times of crisis, what is Fang Cheng's idea?"

Hearing Liu Sandao speak, Lu Yifan's eyes flashed with a touch of approval, in fact, it was exactly what he was about to say just now.

The reason why Lu Yifan wanted to keep Fang Qingyun seemed to be to take care of Fang Qingyun's safety on the surface, but in fact, he was taking Fang Qingyun hostage to prevent the Fang family and his son from rebelling together and defecting to Lou Zong, so Lu Yifan would be in trouble.

Fang Chengtian, the old fox who pretended to be confused, couldn't hear the meaning of Liu Sandao's words, but after he saw Lu Yifan's approving expression, he instantly understood in his heart, so he didn't say anything more, and could only smile and say a few words of gratitude in his heart.

"This matter is so decided, except for Liu Sandao, we are afraid that there is no one here who is more suitable to accompany you!" Lu Yifan smiled and pointed at himself, Han Ling'er, and Xie Yun, "You must know that several of us are mortal enemies who have been hunted down by Lou Zong for a long time!"

"My lord!" Suddenly, Yin Xi, who had been standing at the door, opened his mouth and said, "Then what do you arrange us to do? We also want to do something to deal with Lou Zong!"

"He hasn't finished his words yet, what are you anxious about?" Han Ling'er smiled, "Have you forgotten what we just said about dealing with the four city defense commanders?"

Han Linger's words made Lu Yifan stunned for a while, and he felt more and more that Han Ling'er was like a roundworm in his stomach, as if he was thinking anything Han Ling'er could guess.

"Yes, after noon tomorrow, Yin Xi, you will follow Xie Yun to take the token of the city lord of the city to get people!" Lu Yifan said, "Don't do it on the city tower, it's best to be in a place where there are no other sergeants around them, and remember to do it quickly, don't make a big deal out of it!"

"Yes!" Yin Xi and the twenty-seven Wenyang warriors said in unison, and Xie Yun also cast a grateful glance at Lu Yifan at the same time.

"I said, Lord Lu, you are so majestic, you sent out all the troops, so what should I do?" Han Ling'er asked in a weird manner.

"And me!" Mu Dan hurriedly echoed.

"Hehe, of course you two have the most important things to do!And there are two more!" Lu Yifan's eyes flashed with a hint of banter, and then laughed loudly, "The first thing is to wait for Xie Yun and them to return tomorrow, one of you two will disguise yourself as Bai Impermanence, and the other will disguise yourself as Black Impermanence, and I will be the King of Yama and intimidate them well." By the way, I prepared for wearing a mask at the time of the flower face festival!"

"Miss Ben won't do anything black and white, you have to do it yourself!" Han Ling'er said unconvinced, "I'm going to be a judge tomorrow! Lu Yifan, you will be a ghost for me!"

"It's okay!" Lu Yifan didn't argue, and continued, "As for the second thing, on the eve of the Flower Face Festival, when the city lords of the fourteen cities were feasted in the Hou Mansion, you two beauties were needed to play the piano and dance to help the city lords drink and ......."

"Lu Yifan, you go to die!"

"Smack!"

Before Lu Yifan's words could be finished, I saw Han Ling'er suddenly pick up the teacup on the table next to him, and shook his hand to Lu Yifan is merciless smash, the teacup crossed a black line in mid-air, and then before everyone could exclaim, it smashed down on the chair where Lu Yifan was sitting, and the teacup hit by the porcelain was smashed to pieces in an instant, and fortunately, Lu Yifan had disappeared on the chair strangely at some point.

"Hiss!" Han Linger's strong counterattack made everyone in the hall couldn't help but be taken aback, except for Liu Sandao, who was already about to be suffocated by laughter, the rest of the people looked at Han Ling'er's eyes wide, and their eyes were full of surprise.

And the most surprising person among them was Mu Dan, she didn't expect that a woman who occupied such an important position in Lu Yifan's heart would be such a domineering tigress.

"I just see that everyone is tired from talking here all day today, so I want to tell jokes to relieve it, who knows Han Ling'er, you haven't seen you for half a year and still have this arrogant temper!" With Lu Yifan's helpless voice, I saw that his figure gradually emerged from behind Xie Yun, and his eyes when he looked at Han Ling'er were mixed with a touch of happiness, "Fortunately, I hid quickly, otherwise I, Lord Lu, would not have been smashed into a flower by your cup......"

"Haha......" As soon as Lu Yifan's words came out, everyone in the hall couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud, and in the laughter, only Han Ling'er's 'vicious' eyes stared at Lu Yifan with a chill in his back.

In fact, this situation is no surprise to Lu Yifan and his friends, but it is very surprising for Fang Chengtian's father and son, especially Fang Chengtian, since he saw Lu Yifan for the first time, he has always believed that Lu Yifan is a person whose heart is completely inconsistent with his age, and that Lu Yifan has a mind and city government that is far beyond ordinary people, and he is many times more mature than young people of the same age, which once made Fang Chengtian, a person who is over fifty years old, feel an indescribable nervousness in front of him. However, this scene that happened at this moment made Fang Chengtian see a completely different side from the previous Lu Yifan, Lu Yifan at this moment is more like a teenager who has taken off his mature and introverted coat, revealing the cynicism and banter attitude that he should have belonged to this age.

Liu Sandao is responsible for accompanying Fang Chengtian to go deep into the tiger's den tomorrow, go to Louzong to find out, and take the opportunity to invite the city lords of the other thirteen cities.

Ji Zheng and Pang He went to the three cities closest to the closed city, and on the eve of the Huamian Pilgrimage, they were to gather nearly 5,000 defenders fifty miles east of the closed city, so as to clamp down on the disciples of the Lou Sect on the night of the Huamian Pilgrimage.

Xie Yun led Yin Xi and the others in the blockade, waiting for an opportunity to take down the city defense commanders guarding the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the closed city, and tried to subdue them, so that the 1,500 defenders of the blockade camp could leave the city smoothly.

Liu Sandao, Ji Yuan, and Xie Yun are the three trump cards in Lu Yifan's hands at present, and they were all sent out by him overnight, and Lu Yifan is bound to win this battle with Lou Zong!

......

And when Lu Yifan deployed troops overnight, another group of people quietly came to the Fushun Inn in the locked city under the cover of night.

Fushun Inn, similar to this mediocre inn that is not too big or small, has not a hundred but eighty in the lockdown, and the reason why these people choose to come here is because this inn is mediocre enough, because only mediocrity will not attract special attention from others.

"Master, the person has arrived, waiting for you in the second room of Tianzi on the third floor!" A hoarse voice that was deliberately suppressed suddenly sounded leisurely from the dark hall in the Fushun Inn.

"Okay!" the man who was called the old man was also dressed in black, and because of the black robe covering his head, his face was even more difficult to see in the dark night, "How long has it been since the people came?"

"It's just this evening!" replied the man who had been in the retinue before, "not one, but two!"

"Two people?" the old man seemed surprised by the news, "doesn't he know my rules?

"If you go back to the master, it's a woman!" the entourage's voice sounded again, "But I cover my face, so I can't see my face clearly, but I feel that I shouldn't be very old!"

"Oh!" the old man agreed softly, "If things hadn't changed, I wouldn't have planned to find someone from outside, but since I've found him, I should at least give him a chance to try!"

"Master, we are looking for him, but he is also looking for us, this has to depend on how to say it! This person has a very strange temperament, and the silver shells I sent over in the evening have been returned, so you have to be careful when you meet the master!"

"Oh?" As he spoke, the old man and seven or eight of his entourage had already walked to the third floor, and the old man seemed to feel a lot of surprise at the retinue's words, "The businessman doesn't ask for money, so what does he ask for?"

"Please!" replied cautiously as the attendant reached the door of the second room of the Celestial Word.

"Asking for someone?" Hearing the words of his entourage, the old man couldn't help but stop and asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

"It's these people in your hands, sir!"

As this sentence fell, the lord's eyes slowly fell on his hands, and at this moment he was still holding a canvas in his hand, and on the canvas there were also portraits of Lu Yifan and Lou Zong Five Tigers.

And the moment this old man raised his head, his appearance was also instantly revealed, this person was the mysterious businessman who had talked about a business with Lu Yifan in the West Imperial City Inn, Qi Shan.
