Chapter 219: Retreat
After getting along these days, Xia Yu has some understanding of the affairs of the Scarlet Moon Clan. www.biquge.info Like Huaxia Shenzhou, the Scarlet Moon Clan is also anxious because of the threat of the Quicksand Mansion, these days, they are not idle, they have been studying how to deal with it, training soldiers during the day, strengthening the city defense, and at night, the high-level of the Scarlet Moon Clan will hold meetings almost every day, which can be said to be the strictest military discipline among the major tribes, and there is no slackness.
Yueyong is in the Scarlet Moon Clan, her status is not low, and she has barely squeezed into the high-level group, so she is also qualified to participate in the meeting, which is also the reason why Xia Yu chose to pretend to be Yueyong. If you choose a random Crimson and can't enter the heavily guarded Crimson Clan headquarters, it will be a wasted effort.
The sky finally darkened completely, and in the Zhaoyao Mansion, fires were lit up everywhere, torches were also planted on some major streets, and on the top of the city wall, the Chinese Shenzhou and the warriors of various tribes were on strict alert.
Although there is no threat from the demon clan around the Zhaoyao Mansion for the time being, it is inevitable that there will be spies or small forces of the demon clan to harass them, so they have to be guarded against.
Xia Yu honestly stayed in Yueyong's house, waiting for the opportunity to come to the door.
The soldiers who were training outside finally returned to the camp one after another, and after a period of noise, they finally quieted down. At this time, the opportunity that Xia Yu was waiting for finally came to the door.
"Lord Yueyong, the patriarch called you over!" A little warrior of the Scarlet Moon Clan knocked on Xia Yu's door.
"Got it. Xia Yu said in a low voice. Although he became the appearance of Yueyong, his voice was a little different after all, Yueyong's voice was relatively low, so he also deliberately made a low voice. Although it was still slightly different, the little warrior didn't care, and after the notice, he went straight away.
Xia Yu walked all the way to the Scarlet Moon Clan Headquarters Mansion, and met two teams of patrolling soldiers on the way, all of whom saluted him, he just nodded in response, and his heart was inevitably a little nervous, but fortunately he didn't show any flaws, and when he arrived outside the gate of the headquarters, it was considered to be in danger.
The Scarlet Moon Clan occupies the south of the city, and its headquarters, which is the mansion of the former demon king, is the most luxurious and magnificent, and it is also the most complete building preserved in the war.
Outside the gate, there are two stone carved beasts, with a fierce face and a burly body, above the gate, the original plaque of the Demon King's Mansion has been replaced by the Scarlet Moon Mansion. There are no guards at the door.
But Xia Yu didn't dare to take it lightly, he is now cultivating to the ninth layer of totem, and his five senses are extremely sensitive, although he can't see half of the guards in front of him, but if he feels it carefully, he can detect that there are at least dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him, but the hidden direction is very tricky, and it is late at night, so it is difficult to find with the naked eye.
At this time, the door suddenly opened automatically.
Xia Yu calmed down instead, and his nervous emotions were swept away, since he had reached this point, there was no other way to go anyway, why bother to suffer from gains and losses?
With such a mentality, Xia Yu strode into the door.
In front of you is a bluestone road, all the way forward, through a courtyard, and then through a forest, you will see a high-rise building more than ten zhang high standing there, there is still not a single figure around.
However, Xia Yu didn't think it was strange, the fantasy totem of the Scarlet Moon Clan was best at fighting enemies in secret, so it was normal for the guards to be arranged in the dark.
"This high-rise building must be the place where the meeting was held!" Xia Yu said secretly, calmed down, and walked towards the high-rise building.
There are no guards on the outside of the tall building, and the door is also open, and inside is a spacious hall with antique coffee tables and wooden chairs, and famous paintings on the walls.
Xia Yu looked around, expecting that this would not be the place to discuss the matter, and observed for a while, and found a staircase, spiraling upward, above the ladder hole, there was a light shining down.
"It turned out to be up there!" Xia Yu climbed the stairs, and when he reached the second floor, he saw a hall, the fire was bright, and there were more than a dozen people sitting or standing inside.
These people all look quite old, and their bodies are athletic, which is not comparable to ordinary totem warriors, and every move has a faint kind of spirit and courage to guide the country.
"These people must be the high-level figures of the Scarlet Moon Clan!" Xia Yu said secretly, among these people, some of them he recognized, but most of them couldn't be named, in order to avoid arousing suspicion, he simply lowered his head and found a seat to sit down without saying a word.
"But I don't know where the new patriarch of the Scarlet Moon Clan is now?" Xia Yu secretly speculated.
At this moment, a thin man came over and said to him: "Yo, isn't this Brother Yueyong, what's the matter, how much water did you hit today?" haha!"
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the people also laughed.
If it was true that Yueyong heard this, he was afraid that he would be angry, but unfortunately, Xia Yu was not Yueyong, and these words were not even an itch for him, so naturally he would not be angry. But it would be strange that he couldn't say nothing at all, so he pretended to be angry, snorted deliberately, and twisted his head to the side.
Everyone laughed even more happily, obviously they laughed at Yueyong a lot, and even took it as a rare entertainment.
After waiting for a while, just when Xia Yu was about to feel impatient, suddenly a Miaoman woman in her twenties walked into the hall and said in a crisp voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, the patriarch asks you to go up!"
Everyone suddenly became serious, stopped laughing, followed the woman, went up the stairs all the way, until he reached the top floor, passed through a corridor, pushed the door in, but it was a large hall, the hall was brightly lit, richly decorated, there was a large pillar at each of the four corners, which was carved with dazzling patterns, hidden mysteries, the windows were covered with light veils, and under the light of the fire, they danced lightly in the wind, like a fairyland.
These things were originally arranged by mocking the wind, Xia Yu has always been casual, although he doesn't care about these, but at a glance, he can't help but secretly marvel.
In the center of the main hall, there are two rows of low coffee tables, behind each coffee table, there is a futon, tea is placed on the coffee table, and a little simple snacks, and at the height of the main hall, there is a woman sitting upright.
This woman, who is also in her twenties, looks kind and gentle on the surface, but in the depths of her eyes, there is a dark coldness, and she is obviously a woman with an extremely deep heart.
"This woman must be the new patriarch of the Scarlet Moon Clan!" Xia Yu was secretly vigilant in his heart, originally he expected that he could be the head of a clan, not to mention a big tribe like the Scarlet Moon Clan, this woman must be unusual, but when he saw it with his own eyes, he still felt a little surprised, this woman gave him the feeling that it seemed to be more difficult than he imagined, and he wanted to take back the multicolored stone from his hands, but he was afraid that it would not be so easy.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat!" the woman lightly opened her lips, and suddenly a voice like a heavenly voice sounded, and after everyone was seated, she continued: "Today, Yueying invited you to come over, there are three important things to discuss!"
This woman is quick to talk, and she goes straight to the point, and there is no nonsense.
Xia Yu nodded, and said secretly: "It turns out that her name is Yueying, but I don't know that she has three important things, what are they?"
It stands to reason that he is a person from Huaxia Shenzhou, and it seems inappropriate to come and eavesdrop on the high-level secrets of the Scarlet Moon Clan, but he thinks that he has no ill will towards the Scarlet Moon Clan, and even if he overhears it, it will not be a big deal, so he is relieved.
Yueying's eyes wandered, glanced at everyone, and said: "The first thing is about the drills of the soldiers in recent days, today I went to inspect it, and found that there are still a lot of laziness in the drills, and now the enemy is at present, if there is the slightest laziness, you may have to pay a heavy price in the future, I hope that your lords, can remember! Today, I will not be punished, just a reminder, but if tomorrow, I still see a similar situation happening, at that time, I will not blame me for being merciless!"
Even in the end, Yueying's voice was so soft, but when everyone heard it, they all looked dignified, and they didn't dare to ignore it in the slightest, except for Xia Yu, an outsider, no one dared to take these words as child's play.
"Obey!" everyone stood up and saluted Yueying in unison. Xia Yu also pretended, Yueyong's identity is the lowest level in the high-level group, so his position is at the end of everyone, which is a relatively inconspicuous place, even if what he said is quite perfunctory, no one notices.
"Sit down. Yueying nodded and continued, "The second thing is about the Quicksand Mansion, the threat of the Quicksand Mansion is imminent, have you come up with any good solutions to deal with it these days?"
"This ......" Everyone looked at each other, the power of the Quicksand Mansion was monstrous, and it suppressed the entire West Sea, in their opinion, it was not something that the Zhaoyao Mansion could fight against at all, and the so-called good way to deal with it was actually only that.
"Patriarch, I think the Quicksand Mansion is really not something we can fight against," an elderly and respectful person said, "When I attacked the Zhaoyao Mansion, in fact, I opposed it, and I defeated the Zhaoyao Mansion, but I couldn't defend it, so it was better not to fight, after fighting the Zhaoyao Mansion and killing the mocking wind, but we had to face a more powerful Quicksand Mansion, a more terrifying Fox, no matter how I calculated it, I would suffer a loss!"
Yueying said lightly: "So, are you advocating retreating?"
The man said: "Exactly, if you don't retreat, when the army of Quicksand Mansion is overwhelmed, I'm afraid that the whole clan will be wiped out, and at that time, it will be too late to regret it!"
Yueying was noncommittal, her eyes swept to the rest of the people, and asked, "What about you, are you also a general idea?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally said in unison: "Please ask the patriarch to order the withdrawal of the army, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood!"
These people spoke so neatly, it was obvious that they had been discussed in advance, and everyone had already reached a consensus on retiring from the army in private.
Yueying's expression remained unchanged, and she didn't say anything, but her gaze fell on the farthest place, and said, "Yueyong, why didn't you speak just now, do you have a different opinion?"
