It was the hairpin that killed him just now, Jiang Chen seemed to throw it back casually, but it was actually to give it to Xiao Jirou who was hidden in the dark.

After walking into this dim corridor, Jiang Chen motioned to Xiao Jirou to hide his whereabouts temporarily, so that even if they encountered danger, they could be prepared.

Jiang Chen didn't know that Yin Mufan had taken Wu Yue as a hostage, but his keen intuition could always remind him to make the right decision, and Xiao Jirou really didn't disappoint him.

"Yue'er, you're fine, it's great!"

Diametrically opposed to his previous attitude, Jiang Chen looked at Wu Yue very nervously at this time, and only after making sure that the latter was indeed not harmed, he was completely relieved.

"Brother Chen, I'm causing you trouble again."

Wu Yue felt very guilty, she was originally paying attention to the news of the war from the north, while running the breakfast shop with her heart, although she was very worried about Jiang Chen's safety, but she also remembered what Jiang Chen had said to her when he left.

Since Jiang Chen said that he would definitely come back as soon as possible, then it must be the case, and he would not break his promise.

With this belief, Wu Yue spent day after day in Jinyang City, until that night Yin Mufan suddenly appeared, not only injured Wu Qingshan, but also forcibly took her away.

"Now that you're safe, I promise no one will dare to touch you again!"

Jiang Chen took Wu Yue into his arms and comforted him with kind words, and the well-behaved and sensible Wu Yue quickly recovered her spirits, as long as she could be by Jiang Chen's side, then she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

Xiao Jirou found a letter from Yin Mufan's corpse, the content of which was written in Beiyan script, if it weren't for Xiao Jirou's presence, Jiang Chen would definitely not be able to fully interpret it.

"What did it say?" Jiang Chen asked.

Xiao Jirou replied: "This is a letter written by Ouyang Ming to Yin Mufan personally, which says that when the Northern Yan army comes to Bei'an City, the secret spies and dead soldiers hidden in the city must be prepared to cooperate with the outside." ”

"It is also specifically mentioned here that the city defense in the north of the city is the weakest, which can be regarded as a breakthrough for the primary attack."

Jiang Chen thought of something from this, and he quickly ran to check the situation in the other two corridors, so that he could completely figure out what kind of earth-shattering conspiracy was hidden in this hidden underground.

"There are three corridors, and all kinds of weapons are stacked on the far left, the number of which is roughly estimated to be able to equip at least five hundred people, and these knives, guns, swords, and halberds are all very well forged, and they are by no means the standard of shoddy work of ordinary blacksmith shops."

"This road in the middle is an obvious road for hiding troops, which can accommodate at least more than 300 people, even if they are allowed to lurk here for half a month to a month, the food reserves are sufficient."

"As for the back of the corridor, there is a smell of sulfur, which is also the source of the strange smell we smelled when we first entered here, and I also found a lot of saltpeter, they are hoarding so many materials for making gunpowder in order to blow up the strong walls of Bei'an City."

Xiao Jirou nodded and said: "It seems that this is a carefully planned plan of action, fortunately you blocked Ouyang Ming's army in the Nanling Mountain Road, otherwise once they come to the city, and the people of Xuanyan Mansion here blow up the city wall, then Bei'an City will have no possibility to defend it." ”

So looking back now, Jiang Chen sat in the Nanling Mountain Road to repel the Northern Yan army, and indirectly protected Xiao Jirou's life, if Ouyang Ming broke the city, then Xiao Jirou would definitely die.

Ouyang Ming's scheming and methods are really extraordinary, he can carefully plan the layout around the chessboard of the northern realm, and every step is almost interlocking, which catches people off guard.

Jiang Chen also inadvertently discovered the movements of the Northern Yan army because of the rescue of Zhao Feihu and the others who had been lured to the Two Realms Mountain and besieged, if it weren't for such an accidental coincidence, he would not have been able to destroy Ouyang Ming's overall plan.

Fortunately, none of this happened, otherwise the situation in the north today can be said to be to the point where the entire Daqian country will be shaken.

This night, Jiang Chen let Wu Yue sleep well, and waited until the next day from Wangchuan City to come with good news.

Ouyang Ming led the army to retreat from the Nanling Mountain Road to aid Liaocheng, but he was still a step late in the end, and Han Yuyang led the Qishan army to capture Liaocheng and recover Liaocheng to carry a large territory.

As a result, the places occupied by the Northern Yan people were taken back in one go.

After completely losing their foothold, the remnants of the Northern Yan's rout should quickly retreat to Dayan, and if they want to make a comeback, it will be several times more difficult than before.

The news of the recovery of Liaocheng reached Bei'an City, and the streets and alleys of the city were thunderous, and the people came out of their homes to beat drums to celebrate, and the scene was particularly lively.

Standing at the head of Bei'an City, Jiang Chen looked at the endless plain and snow scene in the north, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

The fact that the great cadres were able to turn things around from the crisis this time relied on the fighting efforts of the front-line soldiers who were not afraid of life and death, and people like Han Yuyang, Shen Xueying, and Zhao Feihu who spared no effort to defend the country.

But they also can't do it, otherwise, this time to repel the big attack of the Northern Yan people, it also relied on a lot of luck, if there was no luck, the result might be a drastic change.

"Ouyang Ming's defeat this time is only temporary, I believe he will make a comeback, in order to prevent him from continuing to bring the flames of war to the innocent people in the north, I must take a method once and for all."

"You want to get rid of Ouyang Ming?" Xiao Jirou asked.

"I have no reason to spare a culprit who has pushed millions of people into the abyss of war for his own immediate interests, have I?"

Jiang Chen's answer showed that he had already moved to kill Ouyang Ming, and if the Northern Yan Dynasty could not restore the stability of the past, then the border of Daqian would be eroded by the flames of war.

Ouyang Ming is the source of turmoil, and it can even be said to be the bane of the world, if you don't get rid of him, more people will die.

Xiao Jirou said: "Ouyang Ming returns to Beiyan, you don't have any chance, it's better to help me find the Yanyang Fire Phoenix first, and then we will join forces to kill him." ”

"I still have a clue about this founding artifact of your Beiyan, maybe it's time for you to meet."

Jiang Chen was thoughtful, he told Xiao Jirou about Shen Xueying's life experience, and from their mother and daughter, he might be able to find out the reason why the Yanyang Fire Phoenix was in the north back then.

"Could it be her?"

Xiao Jirou's thoughts drifted back to many years ago, she had heard some elders of the Beiyan royal family mention that a young man in the clan actually fell in love with a woman who separated from the family, and the relationship between the two was not tolerated by the two families.

They were constantly suppressed, coerced, and finally met a tragic end.
