In the attic in the east of the city, the wing room is silent.

Xu Yuan sat alone behind a mountain of desks, repeatedly confirming some important information on the file.

He can make the overall plan, but it takes a lot of expertise to execute it.

was forced to sit in this position, and Xu Yuan needed to learn a lot of things.

But fortunately, Xu Yuan has the old aunt Lou Ji by his side.

Lou Ji is much better than Luo Daofan's ignorant old man.

If you ask her directly about things she doesn't understand, she can answer most of them, and even if she can't answer them, she can immediately ask others through Tianxun Yuanjing.

After summarizing the information, Xu Yuan discovered that the barbarian king was really an outlaw gambler.

The battles that have become famous for their surprise victories have been fought since ancient times, and most of the people who want to play this trick have played themselves in the coffin.

If the positions are reversed, let Xu Yuan stand on the position of the barbarian king.

He has now most likely fled back to the depths of the snowfield with his tribe taking advantage of this heavy snow and the rich results he had won before.

All things are mutual,

Today's barbarian detour from the mountains and mountains to the north and south of the city not only cut off the supply route of the 700,000 elites of Great Yan, but also cut off their own grain routes.

If the defenders in the Northern Closure City were not so empty, or if the blizzard subsided in the month of crossing the mountains, all the hundreds of thousands of barbarians would have to be accounted for in this city.

Xu Yuan was thinking about it.

"Squeak-"

The door of the wing room was opened, and a plump shadow pushed the door through the door.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan immediately raised his eyes and asked:

"How's it going?"

Lou Ji swayed to the opposite table and sat down, took a sip of tea, and handed Xu Yuan a briefing:

"We have already withdrawn to the city, and the surprise attack with our flying demon beasts in the city has caused a lot of chaos on the barbarians' side, this is a rough process."

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at it cursoly, and had a general idea in his heart.

The flying demon beast carried the source crystal bomb to bombard the barbarian army array that was unfolding in the east of the city to attract attention, and three thousand iron horsemen roared out of the south of the city to open the way, and seven thousand heavy infantry formed a formation to cover and kill.

The moment the two armies met, although the barbarians were on guard, because they were carrying out the deployment of troops to encircle the Northern Closure City, the military formation was still torn apart.

It's a pity that after the barbarian army condensed the war totem, they immediately stabilized the battle line and dispatched wolf riders to strangle the attacking black leader.

After reading the report carefully, Xu Yuan sighed:

"However, the Black Scale Army in its early 10,000s lost more than half of it in half an hour, and the barbarians are indeed the main force of the vast majority."

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then asked Lou Ji:

"Where's Yuan Hao?"

"I came back, but as soon as I entered the city, I was detained by Wu Yuan."

Lou Ji sighed as she spoke: "Looking at Wu Yuan like that, if Yuan Hao can't give a reasonable explanation, it seems that he wants to behead him." ”

Xu Yuan frowned: "Killed?" ”

Attacking out of the city, with such a result under the absolute disadvantage of troops, and withdrawing half of it, Yuan Hao's generals should not be beheaded like this.

Seeing this, Lou Ji smiled slightly and said with relief:

"Of course, Wu Yuan should just think about it, after all, Changtian, didn't you tell Yuan Hao before, let him directly pin this pot on the person in charge of our Xiangguo Mansion in the north."

Xu Yuan's heart was relieved.

As he spoke,

Lou Ji suddenly raised her eyebrows slightly, gave Xu Yuanbi a silent gesture, and took out the Tianxun round crystal from the Sumeru ring:

"I wonder what His Highness is looking for me?"

"Chief Lou."

Li Qingyan's rustling voice came out of the source crystal, simple and direct: "Yuan Hao's behavior of going out of the city was instructed by you?" ”

Lou Ji winked at Xu Yuan, and replied with a smile:

"Sort of, is there a problem?"

Li Qingyan's voice couldn't hear joy and anger:

"I don't know what you're planning, but I don't want this to happen a second time."

Lou Ji narrowed her eyes and asked:

"I can't promise His Highness, but I'm curious, if it happens for the second time, His Highness is ready to use the formation to kill me?"

“.”

Hearing these provocative words, Li Qingyan did not threaten with any cruel words, and it was most naïve to not realize the threat.

Lou Ji can't die.

Anyone can die, but she can't.

Many people in the Black Scale Guard are in direct contact with their superiors and subordinates, and without her, the intelligence network will be abolished directly.

Both sides know this.

There was silence for a while, and the temperature of Li Qingyan's tone dropped slightly:

"Send Xu Changtian back."

"Snort"

Lou Ji sneered: "Didn't Your Highness just lend me Changtian, I haven't used it enough?" ”

Li Qingyan's voice was slow:

"This palace misses my colt tonight, so it's not appropriate for him to stay overnight with Mr. Lou, right?"

Lou Ji smiled and replied:

"What's inappropriate, Changtian has liked to sleep in the same room with me since he was a child."

Li Qingyan was completely cold:

"Since you like it so much, when I get married, how about President Lou enter the room as a concubine?"

“.”

Lou Ji was about to sneer at him, but saw Xu Yuan suddenly shake his head at him.

In fact, Xu Yuan was very happy to watch the fun on the side.

Two strong women came together, and the result was like this, without giving in.

If cultivation allows, with Li Qingyan's character, it is estimated that he will fight with Lou Ji, the old aunt.

However, Xu Yuan knew the true meaning of the words of the two.

Li Qingyan and Lou Ji seem to be fighting for him, but in fact, one wants to take the past as a hostage so that Xiangguo's mansion does not move, and the other wants to take him out of the city and run away.

Lou Ji frowned slightly when she saw Xu Yuan's actions, and said:

"Changtian, you really don't go out of the city? If you don't go, you may not be able to leave. ”

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, and also transmitted the voice:

"Sister, you have already said before, even those people with the status of the children of the sect head sect elders were stopped by Li Qingyan?"

Lou Ji's voice was slightly stern:

"They were stopped because their identity is not noble enough, and you are different for a long time."

"Sister, I know I'm different."

Xu Yuan chuckled and smiled, shook his head calmly after speaking, and looked in the direction of Nancheng:

"Occupy their place and take their responsibility.

"Those 10,000 soldiers of the Black Scale Army can be afraid of life and death because of one of my orders, I naturally can't be ashamed of their sacrifice, I need to stay in this northern closed city and do something."

Lou Ji glanced at Xu Yuan with complicated eyes, hung up Tianxun Yuanjing directly, and asked seriously:

"Changtian, now that such a thing has happened, I have to personally transport the Yun Qi Bullet and those Sumeru rings, and I can't stay with you after that, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Hmm." Xu Yuan nodded equally seriously.

"Okay." Lou Ji sighed lightly:

Xu Yuan smiled slightly, half-joking:

"Thank you, I thought I was disobedient, sister, you are going to knock me out and take me away."

Lou Ji rolled her eyes:

"I think your father said that I want to support your actions, and I will tell you the contact information of several secret agents in the city, and if the city is lost, they will do their best to help you escape."

Xu Yuan didn't talk nonsense anymore and knocked on the table:

"Sister, okay, I'll see you later, but I still have a few things for you to do before you leave, can you help me see if it's feasible?"

Lou Ji pursed her lips, slightly resentful:

"We're getting more and more calling, let's talk about it, if we can be a sister, we must do it."

“.”

“.”

“.”

After everything was explained and Xu Yuan was given a big chest, Lou Ji left.

Xu Yuan rode a carriage alone to the Beifeng Mansion where Li Qingyan was.

Two quarters of an hour later, at the entrance of the palace.

It was a wide avenue flanked by newspapers and notices, and the snow on the ground was crushed into slush by the intense dispatch of troops and ruts carrying the city's defense equipment.

After taking out the token of Xiangguo's mansion, Xu Yuan entered the mansion all the way unimpeded.

The interior was heavily guarded, and tall and burly soldiers were stationed at their posts with swords.

As soon as he walked into the school field outside the inner hall, Xu Yuan subconsciously paused.

I saw a few strong men in thin cloth clothes kneeling in the snow with their hands tied behind their backs, while behind them stood several uniformed soldiers with large knives.

The cultivation is not weak, two four-grade, two five-grade.

There are generals with the Black Scale Guard, and there are also generals with the Yulin Guard who are responsible for guarding the city gates.

Two of each.

While he was thinking, the blade fell.

"Whew-"

The human head fell to the ground and gurgled and rolled down, and the red blood gushing out of the severed head was particularly dazzling on the white snow.

“.”

When Xu Yuan saw this scene, he knew in his heart that Li Qingyan had given him a dismount, so he showed a touch of astonishment just right.

Continuing for three breaths and constricting his expression, Xu Yuan frowned and continued to step forward.

He suddenly realized that he had really changed a lot.

In the past nearly a year, I have been accustomed to seeing blood, and the picture of human heads falling to the ground is about to be numb.

Along the way, his hands were also stained with the blood of many people.

There are enemies, there are innocents, and now there are their own people.

With a sigh,

Xu Yuan stepped on the stairs and entered the military hall
