Standing on the city wall, Wu Gen looked down at the fortified city that had stood for many years at his feet.

Hanlu City, the main city of Tieshou Province, has been built and repaired from generation to generation since the Ji family won the lordship. If the Ji family is successfully restructured, this may also be the first real capital in Kuntianzhou.

Originally, the city was not of such a scale, it was only a small city at first, but as it became more populated, it was repeatedly expanded outward and the walls were rebuilt, forming the pattern of the inner city and the outer city today.

The gray wall tiles, mottled moss, and footprints on the stones all confirm the vicissitudes of this city. After hundreds of years, a group of lords have changed, the prosperity of the wind and snow, and the sadness of people walking away, the strong city is still majestic, protecting the Ji family and the residents in the city.

Different from the general regulations of the big city, a corner platform was built in each corner of the city wall, and the corner platform protruded from the wall, and a tall stone statue was built on each side. After a long period of invasion, the lines on the stone man have been mottled, and a few pretty birds jump on the stone man, making the thick wall more flexible.

The shadow of the war is still gradually shrouded in this big city, and Wu Gan can not enter the city directly, but can only fall outside the city according to the meaning of the guard, and he himself is on the city because of the name of pacification.

A man who looked like an officer sent his men to bring tea, and asked cautiously, "Zhenfu, the fight in the east is going well."

The officer's armor also had a gnather cage hanging from it, which seemed to have been freshly knitted, and should have been made for the children of the family. Looking at this man with a black and red face because of the wind and rain on the city all the year round, Wu Gen found that he couldn't lie.

In every big war, people often remember those famous generals, wise generals, and fierce generals, but don't forget that what really supports these big battles are thousands of ordinary soldiers like the men in front of them.

Maybe outside, they are like the weeds on the plains outside the city, lowly and humble, but they also have their own relatives, there are also children who rely on the door to return, and they also have a home that is not rich but still warm. This grass, placed at home, is a pillar to the sky.

Holding the head of the city with both hands, Wu Gen looked at the sparkling moat outside the city, "The east side fought very badly, on the whole, the thieves are stronger, and there may be another thief who wants to attack Hanlu City, in the east, before the incident, there will be no substantial help here."

"Oh, that's going to be a war." The man answered, as easily as if he had promised someone else to eat.

Wu Gan couldn't help but be moved, he didn't expect this ordinary officer to be so calm in the face of this war that would kill many people, so could this Cold Land City still be broken.

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Hanlu City hasn't been breached yet, what are you afraid of, won't you fight if you're afraid?" The man smiled innocently, and his smile was very bright.

"Haha, yes, what are you afraid of?" Wu Yan raised his head and laughed, and the little sadness he had just left was gone.

"Zhenfu, I heard that you are the most capable of fighting the human race, even my shepherd can't beat it, and the human race in the outer continents is also so good. I also know that the Terrans in Kuntianzhou are a little ruthless when they are bullied, but in fact, there are also big heroes in the Terrans."

The man looked Wu Gen up and down with some curiosity, he could lead many herdsmen as a human race, Wu Gen had become a legend, and many herdsmen had changed their impression of the human race.

"The best at fighting, don't dare to talk about it, if you fight, it still depends on a brave man like you." Wu Gen stepped forward and slammed the opponent's breastplate with his fist.

While talking and laughing, an old man came to the city, but he was ordered by Ji Chen to invite Wu Yan into the mansion.

Saying goodbye to the officer, Wu Gen followed the comer towards the city, and after taking a few steps, Wu Gen suddenly turned his head and looked at the man who was still clumsily weaving the gnather cage, "Brother, what do you call it."

The man's face was stunned and a little embarrassed, "My name is Li Si, and I am the fourth in the family."

A golden bead flew out of Wu Gan's hand, and fell into Li Si's hand in an arc, "Brother Li, a meeting gift for my sister-in-law and nephew, next time we will drink together."

The man hurriedly walked a few steps and was just about to shirk it, but Wu Yan had already walked down the city wall with a smile.

The carriage stopped in front of Ji Chen's mansion, still a sparse guard, the old man

took Wu Gen and Yang Zheng to the room where they met before.

In front of the door, Lu Zhu was already waiting at the door, staring at Wu Yan up and down with round eyes. The last time he came, Wu Gen was just a small follower behind Ji Ye, but this time, he has become a calmer with heavy soldiers.

Yang Zheng glanced at the green bead and nodded slightly. He was born in the royal family, and among those servants who can serve the nobles, which one is not the Seven Tricks Exquisite Heart. How can there be a servant looking directly at the guests, such a simple woman standing here, it is really a little conspicuous.

The old man asked Yang Zheng to wait outside, and only Wu Yan was allowed to enter alone. When he entered the main hall, Ji Chen was still busy in the study inside, and Murong Yanyu had already brought two maids to wait in the hall.

"Wu Zhenfu, I haven't seen him for many days, and I don't come to the house for a walk. I've heard Yu Qiang mention you many times, saying that you have made a name for yourself in the Iron Hand Province, and several families are vying to recruit and suppress you." Murong Yanyu smiled and looked very polite.

"This is all the blessing of Mrs. To, since the last time I gave the Lady, everything has gone well. It's just that the military is busy, and they travel all over the country, but they don't come to Hanlu City less." Wu Yan pulled the slap on his waist up, and smiled and gave a deep salute to Murong Yanyu.

"Please sit down, and come out as soon as your grandson is done." Murong Yanyu smiled and invited Wu Yan to take a seat, and he also sat down in the main seat.

"Yu Qiang is a bit willful, and this time she got involved with the thief, but it gave Zhen Fu a headache. Rest assured, I will rebuke her so hard that she can bring someone back to her home and think about it behind closed doors." Murong Yanyu raised his hand to signal for tea, and gave a shallow salute to Wu Gan as he got up.

Wu Yan was slightly stunned, could it be that the Murong family was going to send troops, and he didn't know yet, "Where is it, Young Master Murong still has his heart for the Ji family."

Holding the azure lotus cup in his hand, Murong Yanyu took a sip lightly, holding the cup in his hand, his fingers turned slightly, and looked at Wu Yan thoughtfully, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Ahem, madam, I don't know when the young master will be busy, and there is an urgent military situation to report." Wu Jian really couldn't stand the other party's style, so he had to quickly change the topic.

"I heard that ......" Murong Yanyu's voice came faintly, "I heard that on Youyi Mountain, my sister once invited you, and you also gave back a flower from the other side."

Wu Gen raised his eyebrows, and then returned to normal, "Exactly, since it is the other side, it can't be reached, and my heart is finally to the Ji family."

"Is it the Ji family, or is it someone from the Ji family?" Murong Yanyu looked at Wu Yan with a smile. Look at the book

"Hehe, madam, if the Ji family is successfully restructured, who can represent the Ji family, Wu will follow him. My Terran subordinates need the protection of the people in charge of the Ji family." Wu Yan picked up the teacup and drank all the tea in the cup.

"Wu Zhen is calm and rest assured, as long as you go the right way, everything will be fine." Murong Yanyu stood up, "My grandson is probably going to finish his work, I will invite him out, you two can talk alone, I will not participate in military affairs."

With that, Murong Yanyu walked into the inner room. After a while, Ji Chen walked out, and looking at his appearance, he was actually a little haggard again.

He didn't say hello, he sat directly on the main seat, glanced at Wu Gen seriously, and said, "I met in a hurry that day, but I really didn't expect that Wu Zhenfu would make such a great achievement."

"It's all thanks to the blessings of the young master and his wife." Wu Yan hurriedly arched his hand, nonsense, this person is likely to be the emperor in the future, how can he be lazy.

Ji Chen waved his hand and sighed, "There is no need to say this kind of sycophancy, you are familiar with the second brother, and he secretly helped you in many things, I know this."

You people, all human spirits, and your hair is empty, don't sacrifice me because I am the great young master. To be honest, I'm not very ambitious, I just want to help my father take care of political affairs, and I don't have much desire to go further.

When I say this, I'm afraid most people won't believe it, thinking that I'm duplicitous and trying to cover it up, but that's really my idea. It's just ...... ma'am."

Speaking of this, Ji Chen smiled at Wu Gan with difficulty, "Madam was a little unwilling, so she came up with something. I didn't want her to be too upset, so I pretended to be deaf and dumb. Tell me, I can let you put down the military intelligence on the Eastern Front and rush here, but what is the purpose?"

"Some people are preparing to take advantage of the fierce battle between the northern and southern armies and the coalition forces to take the opportunity to attack Cold Land City." Speaking of business, Wu Jian straightened up.

"You said my uncle Ji Bi, my father has already sent a message to me, and his son Ji Xian has rebelled against the guards, and he has borrowed 30,000 horses from Xianyu's family in Shule Province, and is rushing to Hanlu City." Ji Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head, his expression a little ugly, "Why bother, that seat is so attractive."

Wu Yan nodded, but he didn't expect Ji Chen to get the letter, "I want to ask the eldest young master to issue a military order, and the northern and southern armies will not be allowed to return until the war on the eastern front is over."

"Oh, why do you have to give such a military order?" Ji Chen was a little surprised.

"Because of Ji Ye, he is a young master with a great personality, and once he learns that Hanlu City is in danger, he will definitely return to support. Our army on the Eastern Front has already carried the most difficult time, and once it gives up, it will surely lose all its efforts, and then the situation in the entire province will be a mess." Wu Yan got up and walked in front of Ji Chen, took out a map, and explained while pointing.

"If we wait for our army to take the rebels on the Eastern Front, then we will return to the division in triumph and cooperate with the defenders in the city to defeat Ji Bi's men. Also."

Wu Yan looked up in the direction of the inner room, and his voice was lowered, "The Murong family will also send troops to support, I don't know if the young master knows."

"I know, Yanyu doesn't know, and my father won't let me tell him." Ji Chen glanced at Wu Qian, "It seems that you have a lot of dealings with Yu Qiang."

"Murong Yuqiang and I are just exchanging information, nothing else, I don't know if this military order can be issued by the young master." Wu Yan raised his head and stared at Ji Chen, observing the other party's reaction.

"Yes." Ji Chen didn't hesitate at all, "My Ji family has worked hard to run Cold Land City for so many years, how can it be so easy to break. Tonight, I will live at the head of the city, rectify the city defense, preside over the defense matters, and ask Wu Zhenfu to delay a little and help give me some advice."

At this moment, Wu Jian was a little untidy, and he originally thought that he would have to waste some more tongues, but he didn't expect Ji Chen to agree so quickly, which caught him off guard.

"It's all at the command of the young master."

At this moment, Lu Zhu walked in with two bowls of porridge, not ginseng soup powder, just ordinary rice, with two small yellow pumpkins in it.

The two of them chatted and talked, especially about the city defense, Ji Chen really asked for advice with an open mind, and he didn't just say kind words.

Since Ji Chen agreed to give the military order, Wu Gan's heart has also been relieved a lot, and he is also sincerely helping to plan. The two of them took the pumpkin porridge and set a defensive plan around the map.

After Lu Zhu took the bowl away, Ji Chen's face looked much better, he took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, and let out a sigh, "Wu Gan, you are really a rare talent. There are no outsiders today, once the Ji family is restructured, if the bond between you and the Ji family is no longer deeper, I am afraid that the dreadnought army will not be able to keep it, which royal family will allow such a team to exist out of control."

Speaking of this, Ji Chen suddenly turned his head and said mysteriously: "What do you think of the third sister, if the two of you come together, then the Dreadnought Army will be able to justifiably exist."

"Ahem." Wu Yan squirted out the tea in his mouth, "Less...... Young master, let's go up to the city wall and arrange defenses."
