It was still raining, and An Xi took Xu Yeqing to live in a farmer's house near Dingzhou County.

The rain was murmuring outside the curtain, Luo Ji couldn't bear the cold of the fifth watch, Xu Yeqing felt that she was very tired, her internal breath was all messed up, she lay on the wooden bed and didn't want to move.

The people in the village get up early, and if the sky is clear, they will go out to make a living, but in this rainy weather, they can only stay in the house to smoke and watch the rain, praying that God will leave some food for themselves no matter what.

Naturally, the old men didn't dare to enter Xu Yeqing's house, so they sat and chatted in the hall.

"Old Liu, do you know the place in Shuofang City?"

Lao Liu bowed his back, held the cigarette pot, and paced on the ground tremblingly, "Then who doesn't know?" It turned out to be a place where criminals were exiled, and our prince killed 100,000 people from the ghost side over there! ”

"What's the use of the prince being powerful alone? There is still a war in our west, and the north side has almost been penetrated, and our people have been robbed of 50,000 yuan, alas, how good it would be if there were a few more princes? ”

Old Liu Tou suddenly looked angry, and said: "His third uncle, take a look at you, isn't your child studying, I listened to a few words that day, there is a sentence that is family affairs, state affairs, and everything in the world cares, don't you know, the prince led the troops to the ghost side!" A few days ago, the three wounded soldiers brought back more than 3,000 horses, more than 10,000 cattle, more than 20,000 sheep, and a few more princes. ”

"In this case, maybe we can snatch back our 50,000 folks?"

"That's for sure! If you want to say that our emperor is really wise and sent the prince to the border, or, this time we will lose a lot! ”

Hearing that the people outside were talking about Xu Lin, Xu Yeqing had a little spirit, and said: "I really didn't expect that Xiao Liuzi would be so cowardly in the palace, and he would become so crazy when he left the palace, and he would take 10,000 soldiers and horses deep into the territory of the ghost side, maybe when his life will be gone." ”

An Xi came in with a bowl of medicine, sat beside Xu Yeqing, and said: "It's okay, I have a two-sided relationship with that child, he is very smart and clever, and many ghost people are uncivilized, and smart people will not kill him, and he will not be so unlucky to meet those demons who kill people without blinking." ”

Xu Yeqing took a sip of medicine and said, "Why are you so familiar with ghost recipes?" ”

An Ji said: "Ghost Fang and Wuyang, just like a fire and a pool of water, death is incompatible, there must be a battle between them, this battle, it is better to fight late than early, Wuyang needs such a powerful character, otherwise, 80,000 Wuyang people are not enough for ghost people to kill." Heaven has the virtue of a good life. ”

Xu Yeqing was surprised: "You haven't killed anyone?" ”

An Xi shook her head and said, "I have never killed any living beings, and you also believe me, your brother can't die, and he has never seen such an aura person." ”

Xu Yeqing finished drinking the medicine, lay down his body, and said, "I really want to see him, if he can stand up to the sky, we orphans and widows will never have to suffer again." Who are you? Sometimes I think you're very evil, and sometimes I think you're kind like a fairy. ”

An Xi took the medicine bowl at the head of Xu Yeqing's bed and put it aside, and said: "It's all people in the rivers and lakes who can't help themselves, let's sleep, it's been more than ten days, and you can't get up, you're seriously ill." ”

——

In the area of the Ghost Fang Demon Clan, there is a post station in the middle, called Shuanghu Station, which is one of the larger post stations on the road that the Ghost Fang Demon Clan must pass through from north to south, after the post station, less than thirty kilometers, it is the territory of the Eight Kingdoms of Xishan, and they have reached the center of the political power of the Ghost Fang.

Along the way, Xu Lin led the troops to take a detour, did not attack a tribe again, this time he saw a post station that could not be avoided, Zhang Mingyue's eyes were glowing green, along the way Xu Lin taught him a lot of skills to use knives, he wanted to try this strong ability, he shouted: "Brothers, copy guys, ready to go in and kill." ”

Xu Lin kicked him off the horse and said, "Don't shout, brothers, put the guys away, we are wearing the armor of the ghost side, and we are using the blade of the ghost side, so we will treat ourselves as the ghost side!" ”

In the ghost clan, Yi Cheng is just a small official with sesame mung beans, and the tribal leaders who come and go are at peace, because he is in control of a key road, and the big people who come and go send a lot of supplies here, and sometimes he is beaten twice by some tribal leaders, or arrogant and rude generals, and he is happy to bear it.

But now Shuanghu Yiyi's face is very ugly, and it is simply pale.

The city gate of the whole post station was closed, and the whole city was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, all the shops were closed, and more than 100 soldiers in the post station, carrying weapons, were nervously defending the city.

Because, Xu Lin arrived with 10,000 people, like a ghost, they didn't know where the team came from, over the years, they had also seen the Ghost Fang Country Capital back and forth to transfer troops, but they had never seen this kind of gloomy, cold, slaughtering, and non-squeaky team, this kind of murderous aura that came out of the bones, really made them afraid.

This team has 10,000 people and horses, but there are 30,000 or 50,000 horses, which can ensure that every soldier has horses to transfer, which is Xu Lin's wisdom in leading troops.

Although he didn't fight with the ghost people along the way, Xu Lin trained them along the way, took them to fight against wolves, and fought bears with bare hands.

Before, Xu Lin was just very good at commanding them, but now, the combat effectiveness of each of these 10,000 people has been qualitatively improved, and from the one-word long snake formation to the eight-gate golden lock formation, it can be lined up in a moment.

Therefore, Yi Cheng saw that although these 10,000 horses were scattered in the east and west, it seemed random, but this team contained a huge killing intent that made him tremble.

Xu Lin went out in groups, came to the city, and shouted in the ghost language: "We are returning to the Hui Department, and the eight countries of Xishan will transfer us over, open the city, let us go in and rest!" ”

Whether it is the fake golden cicada, or the two daughters of Mifei and Fang Fei, or Meng Meng, they are all stunned, when did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learn the ghost dialect and say it so well?

At this time, Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, what a stupid person, who can come here except for the eight countries of Xishan who can mobilize this large number of troops? Worried about it, Yicheng shouted: "Open the city gate!" ”

I just don't know what's going on over there in the eight countries of Xishan, alas, don't think about it, the Ghost Fang Demon Clan has always been transferring troops back and forth this summer, and it has nothing to do with a petty official like himself, so don't be nosy.

As soon as the city gate opened, Xu Lin led the team into the city, Mengmeng looked around curiously, and said, "I really didn't expect that there is also this kind of city in the territory of the ghost side." It can fit so many of us. ”

Xu Lin said with a smile: "Cats have cat paths, dogs have dog paths, a country has a country's way of life, after looking at it like this, do you still think that ghost people are terrible?" ”

"It's not too scary, in Shuofang City, people say that the ghost people are too scary, it turns out that they are all scaring themselves."

Xu Lin turned back to Zhang Mingyue and said: "Go to the army to plot, use your brains more in the future, take a few brothers, kill all the people in this post station, replace them with our own people, strictly guard against death, rest for three days, let's go straight to the capital of the ghost side!" ”

Zhang Mingyue said excitedly: "Yes! ”

Zhang Mingyue turned around and returned to Yi Cheng, looking up and down, Yi Cheng looked flattering and said a lot of kind words.

Zhang Mingyue plucked out his ears and said, "What are you talking about?" Noisy! ”

After speaking, Zhang Mingyue slashed down with a knife, and even the people and horses were split in half.

That night, the Shuanghu Post area was under martial law on all fronts in the east-west direction, and the soldiers were sharpening their swords in the city, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to take him to a big battle.

Xu Lin found a relatively complete map of the Ghost Fang region in Yi Cheng's mansion, and after comparing it, there was almost no difference with the outline he had come along the way, so the location of the political power center of the Ghost Fang people in the Eight Kingdoms of Xishan was basically correct.

Xu Lin found a particularly large piece of parchment and drew the map of the Wuyang Dynasty and the map of the Ghost Fang Demon Clan, he never thought that the 20 million square kilometers of land of the Wuyang Dynasty was less than half of the Ghost Fang Demon Clan.

Xu Lin silently thought, how big is this continent?!

Meng Meng lay on the side and looked at Xu Lin's outline, and said, "Master, you have such a good brain, you can remember every mountain and every river just by looking at it." ”

Xu Lin said: "There is no way, where there is no technology, you can only use your brain." ”

Xu Lin carefully studied the map, this is not just a study of a war that attacks the capital of the Ghost Fang, he is studying the strategic depth of the Ghost Fang and Wuyang, he can't take care of the war, he must consider that he has attacked the Eight Kingdoms of Xishan, in addition to attracting their 600,000 troops back, what chain reaction will it cause.

The western border of the Wuyang Dynasty is completely bordered by the Wuyang Dynasty, and there are three natural barriers on the northwest border, the first is the canyon that he led his troops through like the Hexi Corridor, just like it, not as long as the Hexi Corridor, but it is definitely a military fortress; second, it is the Qinglong Snow Mountain; The third is the Bergir Desert.

On the southwest border, the only strategic point is the Hanyuan Pass, and the Hanyuan Pass has been firmly in the hands of the Wuyang Dynasty, and has played thousands of kilometers outside the pass.

If Wuyang and the Ghost Fang start a war on all fronts and arrange an elite army in the canyon, it will be a single man, and the focus of the war will be this southwest border. If the southwest border is well fought, the ghost demon clan has nothing to do.

Xu Lin carefully observed the map for a moment, rolled it up, and the fake golden cicada was about to take it, but Xu Lin handed the map to Meng Meng, "Girl, put this map away, this is a treasure." ”

The cute sword never left her, so she hid the map in the scabbard of the big sword.

This made the fake golden cicada feel a burst of panic, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, does our retreat route still count?" ”

Xu Lin turned his head and glared at her, and asked in a deep voice, "This is what you should ask?" ”

The fake golden cicada trembled all over, looking at Xu Lin's eyes with a feeling of self-embarrassment, she was thinking, has the prince already discovered his identity?

She was still nervous in the room, Xu Lin had already left the room, the big battle was imminent, he wanted to see his warriors......
