Chapter 229: Liwei
The Beifeng Mansion is magnificent, like a small fortress standing in the center of the Beifeng City.
It is called the government office, but it is actually a military camp.
The tall courtyard wall is like a city within a city, the Yulin guards on duty outside the gate are tall and mighty, and the teams of soldiers on the city gate street are closely dispatched.
Everything seemed solemn and solemn, but this solemnity was soon broken by a voice.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”
A soldier dressed in a herald's uniform rode a snow-wildebeest from the end of the street, and he galloped forward, attracting the attention of the army on the street and the guards on duty outside the Nafu Gate.
With such a large amount of snow still galloping in the city, it is already considered a violation of military regulations.
But the herald didn't think much of that.
When he came to the main gate of the mansion, he turned over and dismounted directly, and shouted loudly:
"Open the door! Hurry up! There is an urgent military situation that needs to be notified to His Highness Wu Yuan! Hurry up and open the door! ”
“.”
The Yulin guards on duty looked at the other party's anxious look and were not moved at all:
"Tokens."
There are a large number of military supplies stored in the government office, and it is useless to be anxious, if the spies get in, these materials will be lost, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
The herald gritted his teeth, and hurriedly took out a token from his bosom and threw it to the guard:
"Here you go, hurry up!!"
“.”
Yu Lin's guards simply and neatly checked the token thrown by the other party, and then waved his hand to open the door.
Before he could return the token, the herald had already rushed into the palace in a flash.
Behind the gate was a wide stone road, and the snow on the road was swept away and piled up on both sides, and the heralds ran all the way north, over the courtyard walls, and finally saw a huge school field covered with snow.
And under the cover of Blizzard,
A huge council hall stands faintly at the end of the school grounds.
And the herald was stunned,
He could vaguely hear some fierce questioning coming from the council hall.
A question to His Highness Wu Yuan.
"Now that the barbarians are still going to be completely encircled and sealed down by the North City, why did His Highness close the North City?"
"The barbarians are about to close the siege, this is the last chance to send supplies to the friendly forces around Houting County, why don't you let me wait to go out of the city to deliver supplies?!"
"If it is completely encircled in the city and the supply line is cut off, how will the 300,000 troops in the area of Houting County be good?"
"The granary in Houting County was destroyed in the previous war, and the newly built stored grain and grass can last for a month at most!"
“.”
Compared to the wind and snow outside, it was noisy inside the lobby.
On one side is the general who looks excited and wears the armor of the border army, and on the other side is the general of the Yulin Army who has lowered his eyes and said nothing.
And in the midst of this noise,
No one noticed that none of the third-party Black Scale Army came.
Of course, they don't have to come either.
Because this is not the second military conference convened by Li Qingyan, but a simple forced palace.
It's ridiculous to say,
An hour ago, these people showed their loyalty at the first military meeting and would obey all the dispatches of Wu Yuan.
And an hour later, these people came to the great hall to make trouble.
Because they found that Li Qingyan had sealed all the city gates.
Activate the formation seal.
Both the monster frame and the high-level cultivators were all blocked in the city.
Unless they dare to walk through the bombed South Gate, they won't be able to get out at all.
This, made them anxious.
So let's gather together to discuss the explanation.
"Your Highness."
On the side of the border army, a middle-aged man who had not spoken suddenly sighed.
The man was surrounded by the army commander and the Yuan Qi around the armor, which confirmed his cultivation at the beginning of the second grade.
And with his sigh,
The lobby, which was still noisy, suddenly fell silent at an eerie speed.
Obviously, this person is the person who said about this "forced palace".
The goatee man looked at the woman in the hall and said flatly:
"If you can't give a specific reason, the north gate can only be opened by our Beifeng border army itself."
“.”
When the general of Yulinwei on the other side heard this, many people seemed to want to scold, but they couldn't help but look at the heroic woman wearing a red background and gold-edged dragon armor in the hall.
Eyes converged, silent for a few breaths.
"Drive it yourself?"
A hoarse and low female voice finally sounded softly, echoing in the empty hall.
Putting down the file in his hand, Li Qingyan slowly raised his eyes to look at the middle-aged man, and asked flatly:
"Commander Qi, how are you going to open it? Is it to use your Zhenhua army to attack the city from within? ”
Commander Qi's face sank like water when he heard this, and he arched his hand, not giving in:
"How dare the last general do such a rebellious thing, now that the enemy is outside, we still need to connect, I just want to ask His Highness for a reason to close the city."
Li Qingyan nodded, and there was no joy or anger on his beautiful face:
"Okay, since Commander Qi wants a reason, then this palace will give you a reason."
Saying,
Li Qingyan stood up, walked down the steps slowly, and said softly:
"It's true that the barbarians haven't besieged the city yet, but the barbarian wolf riders are already cruising outside the city, do you want to transport these supplies across the snow forest for three hundred miles while those wolf riders are around?"
“.” Silent.
Seeing that no one answered, Li Qingyan chuckled lightly and continued to say softly:
"It seems that you know this, too, but if you know, why do you insist on transporting grain out of the city?
"Is it because of hospitality? They traveled thousands of miles to attack the city, and the carriages and horses were tiring, so they wanted to use this move to reward those barbarians? ”
There was a dead silence in the hall.
After a few glances at each other, a man wearing the armor of a lieutenant stepped forward, arched his hand, spoke righteously, and replied respectfully:
"What Your Highness said is extremely true, the ground supply lines are no longer safe, but why can't high-level cultivators and flying demon beasts be allowed out of the city? The probability of them being intercepted is low. ”
Li Qingyan glanced at the person who spoke out:
"I remember your name is Nie Yu?"
The lieutenant smiled slightly, and there was a clicking sound between the friction of his armor:
"Your Highness remembers the name of the last general, and the last general is terrified."
Li Qingyan turned around and walked two meters in front of the other party, and casually threw the file in his hand at the man's feet:
"Captain Nie, pick it up and take a look.
"Then, explain to this palace why there are your Nie family's wives and children on the flying demon beasts that transport military supplies? Why are there still a lot of belongings on those flying monsters? Why are there two four-rank fusion guards! ”
“.” Captain Nie.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Li Qingyan glanced at the group of generals below who were called the imperial court border army and were actually the private army of the sect with a cold gaze:
"Captain Zhou, Captain Chang, and Captain Liu, forget it, if there are too many people, the palace will no longer be named, you can choose a representative to explain to the palace together."
Captain Nie's face didn't blush or his heart beat after hearing this, he just hugged his fists and said:
"Your Highness, the last general of the Great Yan Bian can set an example for his wife and children to stay, but those guards are all our retainers, and the people who escort them out are also distinguished guests of the Northern Sect."
"Sect honoraries? It seems that they are all cultivators. ”
Li Qingyan's words were clear: "Since you are a cultivator, then leave the palace to defend the city now." ”
Captain Nie frowned, and said in an aggravated tone:
"Your Highness, they are not soldiers of the imperial court, and they are all the children of the head of the sect, and their status is noble, if they lose again, I am afraid that Your Highness"
Rumble!
A source qi fell directly from the sky, running through the entire hall, and Captain Nie was directly pressed into a meat paste from top to bottom.
The smell of blood suddenly spread through the silent lobby.
Li Qingyan looked around, and the cold air in his phoenix eyes was already overflowing:
"This palace is not a soldier, and the people of Great Yan have the mission of fighting for the homeland!
"Also, don't think that this palace doesn't know, the Sumeru Ring with the materials in your hands has been sent to Houting County through those high-level cultivators who have passed on the message.
"Put away your careful thoughts, whoever dares to say this matter again will be dealt with by military law."
Speaking of which,
Li Qingyan's gaze fell on the leader of Commander Qi.
Qi Commander raised his eyes slightly, and he felt that the large array in the sky had locked him.
However, he still did not speak immediately, and calmly looked at the princess who was bound to reveal her murderous intent.
Now that the elite of the sect is exhausted, almost all the high-level generals are in the area of Houting County, he is the only person who speaks in the North Seal City, if he dies, the 100,000 troops of the sect will become a plate of scattered sand without any organization.
When the time comes, each of them will have a ghost fetus, and no one will coordinate, and it will be difficult for this princess to dispatch.
Moreover, the consequences of killing a commander of the second grade origin are not at all comparable to killing a lieutenant.
Do you want to gamble?
Bet that this crazy woman will not dare to kill him, and bet that this woman will not dare to set off infighting at this juncture.
Between the eyes of the two primordial powerhouses, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed to be able to condense water.
But in the end, Commander Qi lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness. What is said is extremely true, everything is arranged by His Highness. ”
In the current situation, Wu Yuan, a crazy woman, would definitely dare to kill him.
The life or death of the children of those high-ranking sects is very important, if these people die in the Northern Blockade, he will most likely be held accountable.
But he will still choose between accountability and direct death in this hall.
There was no other sound, and only the footsteps of the border generals echoed in the entire hall.
And the stall Captain Nie was restrained away by an old friend of his.
Li Qingyan was about to dismiss his descendants and generals to set up defenses, when he saw a hurried figure running into the main hall against a group of border army generals:
"Your Highness, Your Highness! The Black Scale Army: The Black Scale Army: They forced their way out of the city from the south gate and attacked the barbarian camp! ”
“.” Li Qingyan's eyes darkened.
