Today's Baiyun City is very different from the past.

The custom of the Nanban is to light bonfires to celebrate, and in the past few days you can see bonfires and Nanban soldiers surrounding the city.

Those beastly soldiers would take off their shirts on a snowy day, drink so red that they would decide the ownership of a beautiful Central Plains woman by the amount of alcohol, the loser would fall to the ground drunk, and the winner would laugh and laugh at public fornication, the cry of women, the cruel laughter of beasts, the coexistence of joy and humiliation, and the men would only dare to hide in the house, like an ostrich buried in their heads, covering their ears.

But tonight is different, the bonfire banquet that was originally not absent from the night is not there today, the streets of the entire Baiyun City are extremely quiet, and there are even patrolling soldiers, once they see someone on the street, they will not hesitate to cut off their heads, and even the process of questioning is omitted.

"It's . What's the situation? ”

In the alley, looking at this abnormal scene, Jiang Xiaoling looked puzzled, when they were in the alley just now, they were blocked by a bunch of patrolmen, if it weren't for the dozen or so Southern Barbarians who had been made into puppets around the painting skin as cover, I'm afraid they would have been besieged long ago.

"Curfew" Mr. Painted Skin looked out faintly: "The Southern Barbarian Army is sloppy, and every place they play like to get carried away to celebrate and drink, this is mainly because the cities on the other side of the Southern Wilderness are easy to defend and difficult to attack, usually as long as they are defeated, it is difficult to send them out, only a small number of troops are guarded, and others can celebrate night and night, and it is also because of this characteristic that they were beaten by Lu Ming's several counterattacks and cried their fathers and mothers, and they don't have a long memory until now."

"This time it was possible to curfew in advance, there is only one possibility, the commander of this group of Nanban soldiers is a person with intelligence, and he predicted in advance that there would be an attack on Baiyun City tonight, so he made preparations early."

"Someone with intelligence?" Jiang Xiaoling was stunned.

"It's only possible." Mr. Painted Skin sneered: "The nature of the Southern Barbarians is to disobey the discipline and force them to abide by military discipline, but it is counterproductive, only when there is a temporary military situation can they be moved to be serious, what did I say this morning?" From the beginning, it was a trap, now believe it? ”

"Just because of this you judge it to be a trap?" Jiang Xiaoling snorted coldly.

Painted skin rare patience said: "The imperial court and the Nanban have cooperation, it will never be them who suddenly send troops to fight here, such as today, the Central Plains forces on the bright side, in addition to the imperial court, can confront the Nanban head-on, as well as the South China Sea, the East China Sea, Tiandu and Jiangnan, from the topography, the four forces are possible, but in terms of form, only the two forces have this ability." ”

"The East China Sea and the South China Sea are new forces, they occupy the land of the Ancient Dragon Palace respectively, and they are desperately digesting the ancient inheritance there, and in just half a year, even if they have the ability to reach the sky, there is no possibility of sending troops!"

"And today, only Jiangnan and Tiandu are qualified to send troops."

"Tiandu is an old force, and the East China Sea has a close relationship, but they are wary of each other, no one can say how much strength Tiandu has now, but they may send troops very little, one is because of the terrain, the southeast region is not popular for Tiandu, and the second is related interests, such as today are extremely vigilant about the East China Sea, for fear that someone will come back to take charge of Tiandu, you must know that within Tiandu, there are still many forces that still believe in that person."

"In the case of no troops in the East China Sea, Tiandu should not act rashly."

"And after removing the Tiandu, such as today, only Jiangnan, which has strong national strength and a large number of soldiers, can have the ability to take the initiative to attack, the border between Southeast County and Jiangnan is extremely long, and Jiangnan can be used as the first priority attack target in the land of four cities, why choose you Baiyun City?"

"Is the city the most strategically valuable, or is the city the most resourceful?" Mr. Painted Skin looked at Jiang Xiaoling: "No, it's because this city has you!" ”

Jiang Xiaoling: "."

"You launched that inexplicable summoning, then Chen Qing in Jiangnan most likely also sensed it, he was planning to annex the southeast, you this time, of course he is giving priority to attacking Baiyun City, if I expect it well, this time, he will even come in person!"

"Do you think so highly of me?" Jiang Xiaoling said with a smile.

"Chen Qing is different from us, he obviously knows more than us, so he should know your importance more than we do, what does the updated intelligence mean, Chen Qing should be the most understandable, he is willing to go to great lengths, it is not unusual."

"Then why do you say it's a trap?"

"Because until now, that person hasn't made a move!" Painted skin sneered: "Half a year ago, he began to plan to let the capital shrink its troops, just to design Jiangnan, and this time, with your assistance, it is more likely that he lured Chen Qing to come to the scene in person, boy, I'm afraid I won't be able to save your relatives tonight." ”

"What do you mean?" Jiang Xiaoling's face suddenly turned cold: "You promised me!" ”

"I do want to know your secrets, but I don't want to die." Painting Skin shook his head slightly: "He must have come here too" Saying that, Painting Skin moved his fingers slightly, and at this time, Jiang Xiaoling obviously saw that there were extremely fine silk threads on the other party's old fingers.

He looked up along the silk thread and was startled, and then he could see that there seemed to be a transparent creature wriggling on their heads

"This is the cloud jellyfish, I got it in the East China Sea half a year ago, and I have been able to avoid him for half a year by relying on this thing, but no matter how good this thing is in concealment, I have to keep my feet open, that guy is estimated to have already arrived in this city, if I take the initiative to shoot again, it will really be looking for death!"

Jiang Xiaoling heard it in a fog, but he understood one thing, the other party seemed to be planning to break the contract and give up helping his mother and sisters.

Just as he was about to refute, there was a sudden boom, and the whole earth shook.

Where did he experience such a battle at the age of five?

fell directly to the ground, covering his head, the violent sound was like a bomb, which shook his brain and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What is the situation?

Jiang Xiaoling raised his head, but was surprised to find that at some point, the top of the entire Baiyun City was actually colorful, and countless colorful corals were densely covered in the sky, at this time, the sky of Baiyun City was as beautiful and mysterious as the bottom of the sea, and he was stunned.

"East China Sea Enchantment!!" Painted skin looked up, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This guy actually arranged the East China Sea Barrier in White Cloud City? When was it set up? Yesterday? ”

Doesn't that mean that guy actually came to Baiyun City yesterday?

As soon as I thought of this, I only felt a drop of cold sweat slipping off my back, was it possible that I had already been discovered? ——

"What is this?"

Outside the city, Tian Heng, who had already organized a large army to besiege the city, was stunned for a moment.

In order to break the city quickly, he moved the magic cannon that the academy had just developed, and the power he had personally tested, and one cannon could overturn a mountain!

He just fired a few shots at the city wall, originally wanting to break the city wall, and then use the water array to instantly freeze Baiyun City, on the ice, the Western Navy has been training for half a year, and once those southern barbarians fall into this terrain, they must be lambs to be slaughtered.

I just didn't expect the plan to be frustrated just after the first step.

A humble city like Baiyun City can actually have a protective array comparable to that of Jiangnan?

"East China Sea Enchantment!" Not far away, Xi Zhen saw this scene and directly judged: "Tiancai Coral, it seems that the East China Sea is developing very smoothly, that guy has actually mastered this formation!" ”

Chen Qing also sighed when he saw this scene, he didn't understand how that guy made the progress so fast, it was only half a year, and he was able to arrange this kind of city protection array in an instant, he didn't believe that the other party had already ambushed Baiyun City, unless the summoner who appeared in Baiyun City was in the same group as the King of Qin.

"It's troublesome now" Yu Zhen frowned and said: "Yin Si has been opened, if there is a stalemate here, Shen Shiyi is estimated to be under a lot of pressure." ”

She had participated in the battle to recover Xihai City, and she knew that every minute and every second of Yin Si was invaluable in the face of the attack of evil spirits, and such an East China Sea enchantment was blocked here, unless she retreated, once she was deadlocked, she was afraid that her side would not be able to stand it.

But she also knows that opening a Yin Si annexation consumes a lot, and now there is a lack of energy, if she retreats this time, at least in the next year, Jiangnan will not have a chance to take the initiative again.

"I'll do it"

Chen Qing sighed and said.

As soon as these words came out, Tian Heng and Xi Zhen both looked at Chen Qing in amazement.

I still owe four more!
