Following. Lushan Chamber.

Lu Yuan summoned everyone and said happily, "There is news from Changning that Shi Mei has escaped safely. Our men have already passed on the information he has."

There was a low cheer from the crowd.

"But there is bad news," Lu Yuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The Great Yu Artifact was indeed taken away by the two thieves."

The generals all had incredible expressions.

"What's that artifact?" Guili asked curiously.

"I've only heard Uncle Li say that there is such a thing, and he doesn't know what it is. However, since it is an artifact of Zhenguo, it must be an incomparably rare and powerful treasure."

Liu Qianqian said, "Then why didn't the emperor directly use the artifact?"

"I guess they don't know how to use it, or they can't use it because they don't have enough cultivation."

Zhou Wanzhi asked again, "That artifact was sealed by an ancient magic circle and a talisman, how could it be taken away by thieves so easily?"

Lu Yuan said, "I used to suspect that there was a bigger black hand behind the two thieves, but now that I think about it, it seems that my guess is right."

Liu Qianqian said, "Brother Lu, do you mean that the second thief forcibly took away the artifact with the help of someone else's power?"

"It should be," Lu Yuan nodded. An invisible boulder slowly pressed down in his heart. z.br>

He sat down slowly, frowning slightly, "And this power is not something we can imagine, it is extremely powerful."

"Master, do you mean that double dimension?"

"Yes. There are very few people who can master this kind of supernatural power. It stands to reason that someone so powerful could just show up and bulldoze us, but they didn't, so I guess they're probably unable to get out at the moment and are still waiting for some kind of opportunity."

Everyone can't guess who is behind this, but they feel that the future road is more dangerous.

Lu Yuan immediately said with relief, "I'll talk about it later, we are still relatively safe in Lushan at the moment. We must always be vigilant in dealing with any unexpected situations that may arise."

"Yes!"

The generals were in high spirits, and their shouts shook the sky.

"Good!" Lu Yuan said loudly, "That's what you want! Then we have an important thing to do - attack Changning!"

Hearing this, everyone was quiet again.

General Eagle said in a low voice, "Alliance Leader, although Shi Xue'an is leading a large army to the southeast, according to the information from Mr. Du, there are still about 100,000 troops stationed in Changning, and we have a total of nearly 80,000 soldiers now. If you rush there......

Lu Yuan smiled, "I have my own measure of this. King Guili, you lead 20,000 soldiers to set out from the Lushan Rhino Pass and make a detour to Jinglie Peak to Changning."

"Yes!"

"Zhou Wanzhi and Liu Qianqian, you two are the main deputy generals, leading 10,000 horses to march from Feipu Stream and march by taking small roads."

"Yes!"

"Other ......"

Lu Yuan methodically commanded all the men and horses, preparing to march to Changning in three days.

Seven days later. Changning.

The defenders of Changning first discovered a siege party of 10,000 horses at the West Gate.

The thieves laughed, and opened the city gate to directly encircle this inconspicuous team.

Just as they were about to engage in battle, another army of about 20,000 men suddenly poured out of the magic circle that had already been drawn and attacked the thieves who had come out of the city to meet them.

The thieves were caught off guard, stunned, and immediately retreated to the defense, no longer easily out of the city.

Cheng Ze, the thief general guarding the West Gate, is also an experienced veteran, and the battle just now was indeed caused by the light enemy. Therefore, this will make him fight with twelve points of spirit, and he will not dare to move easily.

At the same time, the battle at the south gate of Changning began.

Lu Yuan led 30,000 elites to raid the south gate.

The person responsible for defending the south gate was Wang Guan, who wanted to recruit Du Shimei.

To the surprise of the defenders, they felt weak and dizzy during the battle. It didn't take long to resist before the south gate was breached.

Lu Yuan smiled in his heart: Shimei, good job!

It turned out that Du Shimei poured the chronic poison given to him by Lu Yuan into the well water that the defenders of the South Gate drank every day, and Lu Yuan calculated the date of the onset of the drug's effect and sent troops to easily defeat the defenders.
