Chapter Eighty-Six: Sneak Attack

In the Spirit Palace of Weibao Mountain, the Daoist of Xianyun said lightly, "The person you are looking for should be me."

Luo Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down again, "Frankly, I doubted you before."

"So, when did you stop doubting me?" Xianyun asked lightly.

「......」

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer, and Xianyun began to guess by himself, "It's because I gave you runes."

Xianyun took a sip of wine, "A few years ago, someone took a medicine from me, and then, by the way, took one of my paintings."

Luo Qingzhi asked, "Are you a Changchun layman?"

Xianyun shook his head, "How dare I be the one, I'm just the custodian."

"Why are you telling me this?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"These are not secrets, I thought you would take the initiative to inquire about me, but, seeing that your mind is not here, no, I will take the initiative to tell you." Xianyun said.

"You think I should trust you? Luo Qingzhi asked.

Xianyun didn't care, drank wine, and said lightly, "It's up to you, things tell you, believe it or not."

"County Lord, it's not good, it's not good."

Luo Qingzhi turned his head and looked at the crown running over, his expression was serious, and he shouted, "County Lord, it's not good, something happened."

"What?"

Wang Mian calmed his breath and said as calmly as possible, "The Bagan army is coming, and the people of Mufu have come up the mountain to find you."

Luo Qingzhi was also a little flustered, the people of the Mu family army were controlled by Jiangzhou's men and horses in the north, and there were only 30,000 people in the city.

"Go and tell the people of Jiangzhou and let them let the Mu family army enter the city."

"Yes, Lord of the County."

Xianyun smiled faintly, "It seems that you are going down the mountain."

Luo Qingzhi nodded and looked at the Dan furnace room, "He, trouble the Dao Leader to help me take care of it."

Xianyun nodded.

Luo Qingzhi followed the people of the Mu family down the mountain, and when she came to the Mu family, Mu Wanning had already put on her battle armor and was ready to go out of the city to meet the enemy.

"There are only 30,000 horses in the city, what are you going to do?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

Mu Wanning's eyes were resolute, "Fight to the death!"

"The county lord." Mu Wanning looked at Luo Qingzhi, "I know, on the battlefield, you always have a strange move, Ningzhou City, save it."

Luo Qingzhi said: "You, appearing on the top of the city tower, can deter them, the other Mujia army is on the border, I will let Wang Mian to dispatch, within three days, reinforcements will arrive."

Mu Wanning nodded, "Shock and deterrence shouldn't be talked about, they must know that there are only 30,000 people in the city now, otherwise they wouldn't dare to attack at this time."

Luo Qingzhi didn't say anything to refute, and she agreed in her heart.

"Be careful and stall."

Mu Wanning nodded, saluted, and waved away.

Luo Qingzhi stared at her back until she could no longer see her.

She turned around, and Mu Chengqian was under the porch, with tears in his eyes.

The moment he saw Luo Qingzhi, Mu Chengqian stopped his tears, nodded, and motioned for Luo Qingzhi to come over.

"The general doesn't have to worry, the eldest lady can handle it."

Mu Chengqian said: "Although she is a woman, she is also a soldier, and she has her own destiny, county lord, don't you think this is too coincidental today?"

Luo Qingzhi nodded, "Naturally."

"What does the county lord think?" Mu Chengqian asked.

「......」

Mu Chengqian smiled, "The county lord doesn't dare to say it?"

Luo Qingzhi was silent, and Mu Chengqian continued: "Ningzhou Mansion is an important border town, and the Bagan army has such a big movement, why don't the sentry posts have any warning."

"After the county lord came, he used the Jiangzhou army to control the Mujia army, and now, it is not the best time to take back the military power of Ningzhou in one fell swoop." Mu Chengqian said lightly.

Luo Qingzhi said: "Right now, resisting the enemy is the best, and I will find out other things and give you an explanation."

Mu Chengqian nodded and began to tell the news he had learned earlier, "I know it so far

According to the news, there are 100,000 troops in Bagan, and the 30,000 vanguard is only 300 miles away from Ningzhou City, and it is almost dawn soon, and it is estimated that it will reach the bottom of the city in time, and A-Ning will take 30,000 Mujia troops to do defense."

"So, there are no other troops in the city now?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"Yes." Mu Chengqian nodded, "If someone attacks from the north gate at this time, then Ningzhou City is like picking up something."

Luo Qingzhi said, "I won't let this happen."

With Luo Qingzhi's promise, Mu Chengqian put his mind at ease and asked, "The secret guards in the city, can you mobilize?"

「...... Not sure." Luo Qingzhi touched the white jade pendant on her waist.

"After dawn, I will organize rich families in the city to hand over their families to me for deployment, so as to ensure the security of the city, and not let those who have a heart take the opportunity to cause chaos." Mu Chengqian said.

Luo Qingzhi said, "Okay, I'll go check if those uninvited guests are still in the city."

After she finished speaking, she was about to get up, but Mu Chengqian stopped her and said, "County Lord, accompany the king like a tiger."

"I know, but, I'm sure Your Majesty won't do that." Luo Qingzhi said.

Following the memory, Luo Qingzhi found Huanxi Building, climbed into it from the back wall, and the building was empty, without a trace.

Luo Qingzhi frowned slightly, always felt that Shu Yuan was still in the city, but at the moment, Wang Mian was out of the city, Feng Zinan was injured, Luo Chen had not yet arrived, no one was available around her, so many years, Luo Qingzhi had never faced things alone.

"It turns out that this is what loneliness feels like." Luo Qingzhi muttered to herself.

Luo Qingzhi returned to Mu Mansion, at the gate of the mansion, many people had already gathered, and Mu Chengqian stood up with the support of the left and right attendants.

"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders, now that the Bagan army has swept back and tried to trample on Ningzhou City, as the defender of Ningzhou, even if my Mu family fights to the last man, I will protect Ningzhou!"

Onlookers began to whisper.

"General, my family has food, and I am willing to donate it."

"General, I have a ...... at home."

Mu Chengqian saluted with difficulty and said, "Thank you, but what we lack now is people."

Hearing such a request, there was no discussion in the crowd.

"Isn't that the cost of our lives?"

"It's just that we're just ordinary people, and we can't do anything when we go to war."

Mu Chengqian said: "Home is here, the city is there, I can't force you to send your relatives to the battlefield, but I hope someone can come out and guard the safety of the city with me."

"What does the general mean that there are no guards in the city now?"

Someone in the crowd asked questions, and all eyes were on him.

Luo Qingzhi, who was outside the crowd, didn't feel nervous.

"Yes." Mu Chengqian said firmly.

Mu Chengqian's words made everyone start to panic. br>

"Then, then, should I abandon the city, what if I can't resist it?"

"Yes, yes."

Luo Qingzhi stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me."

The crowd was quiet, and Luo Qingzhi said, "I'm Luo Qingzhi, the county lord of Anning, and I won't leave."

"Lord of Tranquility?"

"It's the Anning County Lord of the Pingbei Army."

"Folks, Ningzhou is our home, we should protect it, the people of the Mu family have not left, and I will not leave, we will all stay to protect everyone and protect Ningzhou."

Luo Qingzhi's words gave everyone stability, and gradually, many people were willing to join the defense of the town.

Mu Chengqian said, "Don't worry, you don't need to go to the battlefield, I just hope that you can go to the various city gates to guard it, so as not to mix with bad people."

Luo Qingzhi stared at Mu Chengqian and nodded.

Mu Wanning commanded the establishment of defenses on the city tower, and when Luo Qingzhi came to the city tower, he could already see the Bagan army from a distance.

Luo Qingzhi found Mu Wanning, "How is it?"

"I've done everything I need to do, and I'll have to stick to the rest." Mu Wanning said.

Luo Qingzhi held the sword and said, "The affairs in the city, with me and the general, three days, within three days, I guarantee that there will be reinforcements."

Mu Wanning nodded, "Okay."

Ningzhou Mujia and Bagan army have always been mortal enemies, their respective commanders, I don't know how many times they have fought, the Mujia army first has Mu Chengqian and then Mu Wanning, and has always suppressed the Bagan army.

At the right moment, Puli, the commander of the Bagan army, led 30,000 vanguard troops to the city tower.

"Yo, isn't this the young marshal of the Mu family? It turned out to be a girl."

Mu Wanning smiled lightly, "I thought it was someone who came, it turned out to be a defeated general."

Purley smiled, "Back then, you had an army of 100,000, but, I guess, not even half of them now."

Mu Wanning said, "No matter how many people I have, you can't win against me."

But Purley said, "Ten miles back, and set up camp where you are."

Mu Wanning frowned, but instantly understood his intentions, he planned to wait for the rest of the troops to arrive and swallow them in one fell swoop. Mu Wanning felt uneasy in her heart, thinking, "If he dares to do this, it must be expected that no reinforcements will come."

She turned to look at the street scene behind her, her spear tightly gripped, her gaze still determined.

Men come down to report.

"Young Marshal, the Puli army is camped ten miles outside the city."

Mu Wanning asked, "How many fireworks are there in the city?"

"Go down and check."

After a while, his subordinates reported, "There are still 100 boxes of fireworks in the city."

Mu Wanning said, "Okay, go and move it over and take out the gunpowder inside."

Half an hour later, the gunpowder was removed and re-poured into the barrel.

"Find a few people and follow me out of town." Mu Wanning said.

The subordinate said, "Do you want to wait for the night?"

"By night, it's too late." Mu Wanning said.

Luo Qingzhi is in Mufu, looking at the map, Ningzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is an excellent defensive terrain, but it is also such a terrain, and it is easy to trap Ningzhou.

If Jiangzhou can't even support, then Ningzhou must be the turtle in the urn.

"The young marshal is wounded, general, the young marshal is wounded."

Luo Qingzhi listened to the sound outside the house, opened the door in a hurry, and called the messenger, "What's the matter?"

"The young marshal led people to a sneak attack, but when he left, he was injured in order to save people."

"Serious injuries?" Luo Qingzhi asked.

"I don't know yet."

Mu Chengqian also came out of the room, "On the city tower, you can't help me through without a command."

Luo Qingzhi looked at her hands, thought about it, and said, "I'll go."

Mu Chengqian thought for a while and nodded, "Please."
