"I can't see that even a woman like you can be so righteous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Shangguan Xiu sneered.

What is a woman like me? Clara's little face turned pale with anger, but she dared not speak in anger.

"I'm the captain of the Scorpio mercenary team, I'll take care of everything, you let them go!" Karina said in a deep voice.

"Karina ......"

"Shut up!" Karina stopped Clara and said to Shangguan Xiu Zhengse: "I think, as the official lord Fengguo Zhen Guogong, he will not vent his anger on irrelevant people, all the members of the Scorpion Mercenary Team are acting at my behest, Shangguan Lord wants to be angry for his friends, he only needs to take revenge on me, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Shangguan Xiu's gaze swept back and forth over Karina and Clara's bodies, killing them was just a matter of his words, it was easier than pinching an ant to death, but killing them like this was not his intention.

Originally, he planned to use all means to humiliate them, but they seemed to be more affectionate than he imagined, and he was even willing to die for each other, which made him feel a little admiration in his heart.

Shangguan Xiu pondered for a while, then turned around and walked back to the table, sat cross-legged again, he slowly raised his hand, pointed to Clara, and said, "She, stay." As he spoke, he turned his finger away, pointed at Karina again, and said, "You, and your teammates, can go." "Bai Du Yixia performed a new chapter of the Song Hall to cut the mouth

"Lord Shangguan......"

"Listen to what I'm saying. The light in Shangguan Xiu's eyes was like a knife, interrupting Karina's words, and he continued: "I give you Scorpion mercenary team five days to find out the strength of the defenders of Ulan City, draw a map of the defenders' city defense, if you do a good job, not only will I not kill her, but I will also give you a rich reward, if you don't do it, or don't do it well, then, come and collect her body." ā€

Karina narrowed her eyes and asked, "Does Lord Shangguan think that I will definitely accept your conditions? This is a treasonous act!"

Shangguan Xiu shrugged with a smile and said, "She is willing to sacrifice herself for you to keep you alive, and if you don't even want to do such a little thing for her, I feel dirty my hands if you kill you." Okay, I've made it clear, now, you can all go, remember, your time, only five days. As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "Let them go." ā€

With his order, two Shadow Banner officers walked behind Karina and Vera, untied the ropes on their bodies, and then each took out a Gathering Spirit Pill and handed it to the two of them. didn't give the two of them a chance to talk at all, and the two shadow flag officers dragged the second daughter's clothes and took her out of the sleeping tent.

Seeing that Karina and Vera were taken away, leaving only herself, Clara turned her mind, and then threw a smile at Shangguan Xiu, and asked expectantly: "Lord Shangguan only left me, did you fall in love with the little girl?"

Clara does have a knack for seducing men, her figure is proud and slender, in modern terms, she is a nine-headed model figure, her appearance is also long and gorgeous, she can't charm, but she is born charming, green eyes, with a seductive magic.

Looking at the flattering eyes she threw over, Duan Qiyue, who was standing behind Shangguan Xiu, couldn't help but shiver, and his lower abdomen felt hot.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, laughing angrily, angry that Clara didn't know whether to live or die, and laughed at her brazenness. He reminded slowly: "Don't use what you used on other men, use it on me, if you dare to be rude, I will gouge out your eyes." Also, that night, my friend was not seduced by your beauty, he was only careless in the moment. He's never been a perverted pig!" The last sentence he uttered almost through gritted teeth.

That night, he was indeed careless, and too surprised, to expect the woman of Besa to be so dissolute and unwittingly swallow the wine she spit out, and now in retrospect, he himself thought it ridiculous.

Seeing that her seduction didn't work, Clara put away her coquettishness, lowered her head, and kept her eyes rolling, not knowing what the hell she was up to.

Shangguan Xiu seemed to see through her thoughts, and said bluntly: "Don't think about escaping, I won't give you a chance to escape, whether you live or die, the decision is in the hands of your companions!"

Clara looked at Shangguan Xiu, pursed her lips, and finally didn't speak again.

Shangguan Xiu said to Duan Qiyue: "Old Duan, she will be handed over to you, be sure to take good care of her." ā€

"Yes! Brother Xiu!" Duan Qiyue agreed neatly.

Shangguan Xiu planned to stay in Solan City for another two days, and then the whole army went north and marched in the direction of Ulan City. However, the next day, news came from the rear that a supply convoy of the Wind Army, marching from Nasikia to Theoron, passing through the Gabur region, was suddenly attacked by the army of the city of Ser, and the food, grass and supplies it had transported were looted, and the people who carried the supplies were slaughtered.

This supply team is not the supply team of the Zhenjun Army, but from the Northern Group Army.

Tang Ling's personal expedition was about to arrive in Nasikeya, and the commander of the Northern Group Army, General Yu Longzi, in order to curry favor with Tang Ling and Shangguanxiu, specially allocated a part of the grain, grass and materials from the Northern Group Army and transported them to the Zhenjun Army.

He didn't send much grain, grass and supplies, just to show that he supported Shangguan Xiu and the Zhenjun Army. As a result, there was an accident while passing through Gabri.

After the Zhenjun army got the news, all the generals in the army approached Shangguanxiu and asked him if he wanted to send troops to Gabur to retaliate against the city-state of Ser.

Shangguan Xiu smiled leisurely and comforted everyone: "This matter has nothing to do with our army, and our army doesn't have to interfere!"

The side is about to go north, and at this time to send troops to retaliate against the Searle city-state, it is tantamount to delaying the fighter, and the Northern Army has four legions under its command, a full 400,000 soldiers, and the commander is a dignified Zuo general, how can it be a soft persimmon, this time it was slapped in the face by the Searle city-state, and it is strange that the Northern Group Army can give up.

Sure enough, the flying pigeon from Nasikia soon reached Shangguan Xiu's hands, and the book was written by Yu Longzi himself, asking Shangguan Xiu if the Northern Army could send troops to retaliate against the city-state of Ser. Shangguan Xiu immediately wrote a reply, only two words: Yes.

After receiving Shangguan Xiu's reply, Yu Longzi immediately mobilized the 18th and 20th Army Corps under the Northern Army, led by him personally, to advance to the Gabur region and carry out a retaliatory attack on the city-state of Ser.

In fact, in the Northern Group Army, the strongest regiment is the 17th Army Corps, the 17th Army's weapons and equipment are not inferior to the Zhenjun Army at all, artillery and guns are equipped in large quantities, armed to the teeth, compared with the other three corps' weapons and equipment are much worse, artillery and guns are still a novelty.

It's just that the commander of the 17th Army is Duan Zhiqing, who is Shangguan Xiu's person, and Yu Longzi thinks that his own attack on Gabur can win easily, and he is unwilling to let the 17th Army share this credit and let Shangguan Xiu follow suit.

But in fact, the battle of Gabul was far more difficult than Takako expected.

The city-state of Serre is in the gap between the territory of the city-state of Besa, in order to survive for its own survival, it has always retained the all-people military system, in peacetime, its city-state army is only 50,000, which seems insignificant, but with the invasion of the northern army, the army of the city-state of Serre has expanded from 50,000 to 150,000 in a very short period of time, and the number of troops is still increasing. The weapons and equipment of the army of the Searle city state are not very good, and the weapons and equipment of the army group north are not very good, the main force of the army of the city state of Searle is the reserve, and the main force of the army group north is the new soldiers, and the two sides are half a catty to eight taels, and neither has an absolute advantage.

In the next series of battles between the two sides, the battle still maintained the mode of the cold weapon period, using bows and crossbows from a distance, and after approaching, they collided with a legion phalanx and fought hand-to-hand combat.

Before the war, Yu Longzi didn't pay attention to the small Searle city-state at all, thinking that he could run rampant in the Gabur area with an overwhelming advantage, but after he led the army into the Gabul area, the wind army of the two legions immediately fell into a deep quagmire, and it was difficult to get out of the Searle city-state army.

The Zhenjun Army, which was close to Gabul and was stationed in the territory of Theolun, had no intention of sending troops to help.

Shangguan Xiu saw it very thoroughly, the Northern Group Army obviously had a powerful Seventeenth Army, but Yu Longzi didn't use it, obviously, he was afraid that he would share his credit, in this case, if he led the army to help, not only would he not get Yu Longzi's gratitude, but he would also have to attract his resentment, so why should he bother to be thankless?

According to the original plan, Shangguan Xiu led the main force of the Zhenjun Army, left Solan City, continued north, and marched towards Ulan City in the Mikun region.

Three days later, the army marched to the northern part of the West Orn region, two days away from the city of Ulan. This day is also the last day that Shangguan Xiu agreed with Karina.

In the evening, the camp of the Zhenjun army.

The spies of the Dark Banner were like marquees, returning to the camp of the Wind Army one after another, bringing back the investigation reports of Ulan City.

Now, the Wulan City side has obviously seen the intention of the Ming Zhen County Army, and the whole city is under martial law, and a series of defense lines have been arranged outside the city.

As for the strength of the Besa army guarding Ulan City, the Dark Flag spies couldn't find out for a while, but it can be judged through the defense line of Ulan City that the strength of the defenders is definitely not a few.

Just as Shangguan Xiu was checking the map according to the report, a gendarme outside the camp tent came in to report: "My lord, Karina and her subordinates have now returned to the camp!"

Shangguan Xiu raised his head, glanced at the gendarmes reporting the news, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled, and muttered, "Yes, they are really here." Settle them down and take Karina to the military tent alone!"

"Yes, sir!" replied the gendarme, turning and walking briskly away.

It didn't take long for Karina to be brought in by the gendarmerie. The central military tent of the Zhenjun Army is very large, and the generals and soldiers go in and out. It seems to be hectic, but in fact everything is in order.

The staff members headed by Meng Qiuchen gathered together and kept sketching on the map according to the investigation report; the generals were in groups of three or five, looking at the map, gesturing and discussing the tactics of their own attack; Shangguan Xiu sometimes sat behind the handsome case to deal with military affairs, and sometimes got up and participated in the discussion of the crowd.

This is the norm in the command center of the Zhenjun Army.
