After saying goodbye to Shi Yu and Xiang'er, Jiang Ning put on that resolute look again, because the front-line affairs were urgent, so Jiang Ning took the people outside the building and returned directly.

In addition, Louwailou and the Star Moon Divine Sect had actually been keeping an eye on the movements of Donghai City.

Not long after leaving Donghai City, in a new pavilion on the side of the mountain road, two middle-aged men sat in it, seemingly waiting for Jiang Ning and the others.

The identities of the two were not difficult to identify, as it could be seen from the clothes they were wearing alone that they were from the Star Moon Divine Cult.

The two men in the new pavilion also immediately got up to greet the people who came from afar, while Jiang Ning and the others stopped not far outside the new pavilion.

Seeing this, the two men hurriedly stepped forward to introduce themselves and said, "At the beginning of the Lower Kong Lingchu, the person next to me is called Ma Lang, and both of us are from the Star Moon Divine Sect."

While the two were talking, Jiang Ning and the others got off the horse.

Because the other party's identity was fine, Jiang Ning asked directly, "Senior Kong, Senior Ma, what is the important news here?"

When the man named Kong Lingchu heard this, he replied, "Don't hide it from Miss Jiang, the Holy Maiden sent the two of us to inform Miss Jiang in advance that there is a change in Donghai City, and it is urgent to arrange manpower to deal with it."

Jiang Ning had just left the city, so after hearing Kong Lingchu's words, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any emergency in the city?"

Kong Lingchu said, "Miss Jiang doesn't know, the Qizhou Gao clan and the Qinghe Cui clan want to unify all the Jianghu forces in Donghai City in every possible way to prepare for the follow-up. For this reason, Cui Minglang, the eldest son of the Cui family, and Gao Yan, the son of the Gao family, both secretly arrived in Donghai City with people not long ago. Now some families in the city have to join their camp under the coercion and temptation of the Gao family and the Cui family, including the Chang family of Donghai City, who has a lot of influence in the city. However, a large part of the family is still watching from the other side and is not in a hurry. Especially in the attitude of the Sui family and the Zhou family, these three are all upstarts in Donghai City. Now that the Sui family and the Zhou family seem to have no intention of being with the two families, the arrival of Cui Minglang and Gao Yan is actually to solve this hidden danger."

Kong Lingchu explained it like this, and everything became clear.

Jiang Ning then asked, "Did the two major families anticipate their own end? Now that the war is tight, it is not a Meiji decision for them to devote so much effort to solving the problem of Tokai Castle."

Kong Lingchu and Ma Lang obviously knew a lot of inside information, so after Jiang Ning finished speaking, Kong Lingchu took over and explained, "The Cui clan and the Gao clan's biggest reliance now is Hou Jing, the county lieutenant of Guanfeng County. At present, Hou Jing led 20,000 troops to be stationed in Chentai, which was considered the front line. Cangnan to the north was garrisoned by 10,000 horses of the Gao clan, and Puzhou to the south was in charge of the Cui clan of Qinghe. In addition to the large number of troops stationed in these three places, there are also thousands of troops stationed in the surrounding small county towns. Hou Jing forcibly stopped the imperial army with such a chain of prison formations. But it won't last long, and they know it. The reason why he can still hold on to it now is because of Hou Jing's ability, and secondly, thanks to the support of the Nanliang Langyu Wang Clan, such a trapped beast battle always has to find a way out for himself in advance."

Kong Lingchu's words alone proved that the status of the two of them in the Star Moon God Sect was not low.

Jiang Ning had also guessed some about this situation before, but she had not been able to investigate these specific reasons. And now that the news is obtained, it is natural to block it.

Even if the Jianghu forces in Donghai City do not have much impact on the whole situation, but now that there is chaos in the north and east of the Great Wei, it is the top priority to pacify the east as soon as possible.

In this war to exterminate the two major families, Louwailou and the Star Moon Divine Sect were allies, so this kind of information exchange was sometimes there.

After Kong Lingchu finished speaking, Jiang Ning also knew how to arrange it in the future, but she still had a question, and then asked.

Jiang Ning asked slowly, "Two seniors, when will you members of the Star Moon God Sect be in place?"

This time it was the man named Ma Lang who opened his mouth, and he said slowly, "Miss Jiang, don't worry, our people have already entered the city in batches this morning, and there will be people coming in the future. The two families have a lot of layouts in Donghai City, and if we want to eradicate them in one fell swoop, it will take a lot of effort, and our two families urgently need to work together."

Jiang Ning couldn't help but be a little puzzled when she heard this, because the Gao family and the Cui family were about to do it today, didn't they know it?

Jiang Ning then again

Said: "Don't the two seniors know about the three levels in the city today?"

The two of them came from afar, and they were not familiar with the customs of Donghai City, so they couldn't help but look at each other when they heard Jiang Ning's words, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

Ma Lang then asked, "Dare to ask Miss Jiang what it means to break through the three levels?"

Jiang Ning realized that the Star Moon Divine Sect still didn't know about this matter.

Jiang Ning said: "Breaking through the three levels is a unique custom in Donghai City, if a person who practices martial arts wants to open a museum and establish a sect in the city, he must break through the three levels to be recognized by everyone. The person who broke through this time was named Shen Qingzuo, and he was in the name of the Shen family in the East China Sea back then, but as far as I know, this person should be the person arranged by the two major families. According to what the predecessors said, the two major families must want to solve the two stumbling blocks of the Zhou family and the Sui family through this breakthrough, so the rest of the small families who are waiting and watching will definitely not dare to see the wind and rudder again."

Kong Lingchu and Ma Lang couldn't help but be a little shocked when they heard this, they rushed over as soon as they got the news, but they didn't expect the two families to move faster.

Ma Lang then said, "Miss Jiang, without further ado, we have to enter the city immediately."

The real purpose of Gao and Cui's plan is just as Jiang Ning said, but the process is far more complicated than that.

The situation was urgent, and Jiang Ning didn't delay much after that, and took people to turn around and secretly return to the city.

At present, they are inferior in numbers, so they should get in touch with the Zhou family and the Sui family as soon as possible, if they want to solve these two families, the Gao family and the Cui family will definitely do something to them today.

The situation in Donghai City suddenly became clearer, but the Gao clan and the Cui clan had not yet come to their senses.

————

On the eastern front, Hou Jingbu, who was stationed at Chentai, had been here for more than 10 days. Although Chentai is small, it is an important town, so the thick walls of the city have a unique defensive advantage.

The main general, Hou Jing, is a dissolute man with a full face, with five big and three thick, and there is a natural intimidation.

But don't look at his appearance like this, but his mind is delicate, for example, the imperial army attacked Yulou City east of Chentai several times before, but he stopped it with a scheme.

At present, the general Cao Xiuxiu, one of Hou Jing's henchmen, is stationed in Yulou City, because his back is against Chen Tai, so the defenders of Yulou City are only 3,000, and the imperial army stationed outside the city is 15,000 people.

Leading the imperial army is a fierce general under Dugu Chong, whose name is Xue Cunxiao, who makes a spear in one hand and is superb.

Xue Cunxiao fought in the south and north under Dugu Chong, and had a lot of prestige.

Dugu Chong did not divide his troops into three routes, but mainly focused on capturing Chentai, and the rest of the troops were divided into north and south, but he did not go straight to Cangnan and Puzhou, and wanted to concentrate his forces all the way.

However, due to the confusion caused by the remaining two routes of soldiers and horses going north and south, the defenders of Cangnan and Puzhou did not dare to slack off, for fear that they would not pay attention to the imperial army and have already approached the city.

Cao Xiuxiu of Yulou City and Hou Jing of Chentai have always been under a lot of pressure, and in the final analysis, their troops are still limited. Hou Jing didn't even dare to send troops to divide the siege, but he was afraid that the news would leak out, and Xue Cunxiao raised troops to attack head-on.

As soon as the sky was hazy today, Xue Cunxiao, the chief general in the military camp of the imperial court, once again ordered the whole army.

Before the army set off, Xue Cunxiao had promised Dugu Chong to take Yulou City within ten days, and now seven days have passed.

The soldiers were not disappointed by the previous defeat, they trusted the commander and trusted themselves even more.

Because the imperial army was approaching the city, Hou Jing had already sent another 3,000 people to help in order to deal with it as soon as possible.

Although Xue Cunxiao's troops had the advantage of troops, Xue Cunxiao did not choose to fight hard to attack the city, because once Hou Jing attacked while they were tired of capturing the city, his own side would definitely suffer heavy losses, so Xue Cunxiao had to put pressure on Cao Xiuxiu on the one hand, and on the other hand, he had to beware of Hou Jing stationed in Chentai.

When the morning sun faintly emerged on the horizon, the defenders of Yulou City saw the invading imperial army again.

They saw such scenes almost every day, so they were no longer surprised, but they were exhausted and disgusted by it.

On the top of the city tower, a soldier scolded: "Damn, this group of *** comes every day, and they don't attack desperately

City, what's the picture?"

After this person finished speaking, some people around him chimed in: "Just want our scolding, harassing us every day may really attack the city one day, brothers should pay more attention."

They naturally understand such a simple truth, and this kind of abuse is just to relieve their anger, and the city that should be defended still has to be defended.

In fact, even Xue Cunxiao's own people felt the scatteredness of the siege in the next few days, but this was the order of the commander, and it was getting slack off day by day, but today's demand for more momentum was more exciting.

It is rare for a group of soldiers to fight, so after coming out of the battle, the momentum is quite majestic.

Seeing that the imperial army had regained its momentum for the first time, the defenders of Yulou City thought that this time it would definitely be a fierce battle, so all the defenders were ready to meet what might be their last day.

It's just that soon the defenders of Yulou City found that the imperial army was like a deflated breath for a long time, and their momentum disappeared in an instant, which made their original hearts slowly retreat.

Although the battle did not start, after all, some people were secretly glad that they at least survived.

The imperial army quickly retreated after approaching the city, but after less than half an hour, another wave came, which made the hearts of the defenders of Yulou City immediately rise to their throats again.

But the final outcome is still the same, the imperial army is still just pretending, and it has not really attacked the city, and the momentum is even worse than before.

However, the imperial army can cheat, but the defenders of Yulou City cannot slack off.

After that, the imperial army went back and forth in the same way several times, which made the defenders of Yulou City miserable, and even the main general Cao Xiuxiu was also distressed.

But they don't have a good way to deal with it, so they can only be exhausted in each other's pretenses again and again.

In this way, until the evening, the imperial army did not move for two consecutive hours, and the defenders of Yulou City finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not need to worry about it anymore.

The night gradually surged in, and the imperial army really did not continue, but the defenders of Yulou City still had to detach some people to closely monitor the movements of the enemy army.

After the moon rose, the defenders of Yulou City suddenly found that the lights in the tent of the imperial court camp opposite were bright, and they could faintly hear the sound of piano and drum music even from so far away.

Looking at the lights in the distance, the defenders of Yulou City, who had been tired for a few days, suddenly said with envy: "The other side looks very lively tonight, mother, when can we celebrate."

After one person finished speaking, someone immediately chimed in: "They all have the wine and beauty tonight, we only have envy."

Saying that, this person also swallowed a mouthful of saliva to himself, but unfortunately there was no smell of alcohol.

"Our brothers are tired and tired day by day, and those people on the other side are merry and happy, eating and drinking, oops, people are more popular than people."

As soon as these words came out, someone around them immediately reminded, "You beware of the trouble coming out of your mouth, if these words are heard by the general, your head will fall to the ground."

Several people showed a look of stupidity when they heard this, and they all knew the reason, so they kept silent after that.

The defenders of the city continued to patrol, but after Fang Cai's words, some people couldn't help but glance at the imperial army camp again, and in the end they had to sigh, in the end, they were envious.
