Chapter 96: No Retreat

"Are you getting taller again?"

When Du Chengfeng returned to the house, Carpenter Li, who had not yet left, also asked the same words.

If Liu Bolun's words can still be used as a drunkard, then Carpenter Li's words are extremely credible. This carpenter, who is quite sensitive to size, not only saw the increase in Du Chengfeng's body at a glance, but even accurately judged how much taller he was.

"It's an inch and a half more than a few days ago, which means that you're suddenly two inches and two minutes longer than when you first met...... Isn't this growing a little fast? ”

It's a little fast, and it's even a little too much. If it is said that the height is one inch, that is, about three centimeters, it is not too obvious, then two inches and two inches, that is, about seven centimeters, this height increase is a little too obvious.

The height of seven centimeters, rounded off, is from 1.8 meters to 1.9 meters, which is already a height increase that can be seen with the naked eye.

"And your arm...... Let me touch it, your arm must be thicker, right? ”

“…… Have it? ”

Du Chengfeng didn't see it himself, his schedule during this period was really a bit full - carefully calculated, in fact, he came to Yanzhou City for a few days, and most of the time he was running around on horseback, and he was finally ready to settle down and rest, but this Yanzhou was fighting again.

With such a busy schedule, he didn't even have time to find some knives to sharpen, how could he have the leisure to care about whether his height was long?

"I guess it's because of the exercise."

In terms of height, Du Chengfeng doesn't know very well, but in terms of arms, he has indeed fought a bit too much in the past two days, and under the congestion of his arms, his arm circumference will indeed become a little bigger, which is normal.

"Anyway, don't worry about these little things for now, there is something serious to talk about."

Saying this, Du Chengfeng called all the people who were still in the house, including Carpenter Li, Cui Yuan, a few academy students who had nowhere to go, the cooks of the academy, and the two mountain guards. And after everyone arrived, Du Chengfeng also gave a general overview of the current state of affairs.

"Anyway, everyone hurry up and pack up, the one named Xiang Rong will soon lead the troops over."

After some explanation, Du Chengfeng raised his head.

"Guys, is there anything else?"

"We can't leave yet."

The first to stand up were the two gatekeepers.

"The corpse of the mountain chief still needs to be reined in, and we can't leave yet...... Two days, two days, and we'll be back. ”

“…… Understandable. ”

Hearing this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but sigh.

Old man Ruan's death is an unacceptable thing for everyone, and now that these two mountain guards have this idea, he has no reason to refuse.

"Deal with it as soon as possible, and I'll help you buy time."

"We can't actually leave first."

Carpenter Li also stood up.

"When I left Jizhou before, the villagers still had some food in stock, and there was enough to eat on the road, but now, we have to buy food again...... Now that the city is in chaos, I don't know if I can still receive supplies. ”

"I'd like to figure out a way to do this."

Hearing Carpenter Li say this, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but have a toothache, after all, this pot was still on him strictly speaking.

If he hadn't planned to let the children go to Old Man Ruan to study, the villagers would not have the intention of taking root, but now that there is a sudden fight, it makes the villagers miss a good opportunity to hoard food.

Fortunately, the governor of Yanzhou seems to be a good talker, and he is a hero here, so he should still be able to collect some food.

"So what are you standing up for?"

Du Chengfeng turned his head to look at Cui Yuan.

"You still have a wanted warrant on your body, and you dare to stay? Are you really afraid that you will be caught and cut off your head when you go out? ”

“…… I've been standing all the time. ”

Cui Yuan's face was expressionless.

"Since just now, I haven't sat down, so how can I stand up?"

"That's fine."

Seeing that everyone had their own things to do, Du Chengfeng got up and led the horse out, and he also went to the governor of Yanzhou to talk about the evacuation.

Like the time in Jizhou, Yanzhou also needs to be cleared in advance this time, otherwise once this big city with a population of more than 100,000 people turns into a hunting ground, God knows what kind of terrifying monsters it will raise - you must know that when you are in Jizhou, the total number of people killed by Su Xiqing is tens of thousands, and it already has extremely terrifying combat power.

If it weren't for the fact that Du Chengfeng had killed a similar number of people on his side, and his combat power was almost the same, then in Jizhou, he would probably really be eaten on the spot by Su Xiqing, who turned into a strange bird.

Fortunately, compared to the battle of Jizhou, this time, he still has a little time.

"It's too late to leave."

In the governor's mansion, Du Chengfeng arched his hand at Qi Jinshan.

"If the retreat is completed now......"

"Don't worry, hero, come here first."

Hearing Du Chengfeng say this, Qi Jinshan did not answer, but pulled him to the side of the sand table.

"This is the terrain of my Yanzhou. Although the gap between Yanzhou and Jizhou is almost a flat river, there is no danger to defend, but as long as we are ready here on this big river, when the grassland people cross the river, we will attack it halfway......"

"Huh?"

Du Chengfeng's whole person was stunned.

What is the half-crossing attack, has this Qi Jinshan not figured out the situation yet? In terms of the level of Yanzhou's armament, even the human-faced giant eagle released by others can't be defeated, so what can we talk about half-crossing?

"Of course, I also know that this Yanzhou's military equipment is relaxed, and I am afraid that it will not be able to withstand the master of the grassland."

Saying this, Qi Jinshan arched his hand at Du Chengfeng.

"Fortunately, there are heroes on our side, as long as the heroes make a move, the grassland master must not be worth mentioning."

“…… Wait a minute. ”

Listening to Qi Jinshan's words, Du Chengfeng suddenly felt as if something was not quite right.

Let's not talk about whether he can win the grassland master here, just talk about this Qi Jinshan's words...... Why didn't you think about withdrawing?

"Retreat? Why retreat? ”

Qi Jinshan clenched his fists, righteous and stern.

"Then the grassland people have troubled my Yanzhou City, and this revenge has not been avenged! Now these barbarians still dare to invade the south, and that is when my good man makes a contribution! ”

"You ......"

Du Chengfeng opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

At this moment, he suddenly knew that Xiang Rong, the national teacher of the grassland, was not in a hurry to march.

Originally, he thought that in a place like Yanzhou, which is adjacent to the border, even if he doesn't use a fierce and hungry wolf like Liu Yanran, he must at least arrange a mountain guard dog who can take care of the home.

But who would have thought that Qi Jinshan, the commander of the Yanzhou army, was a pig.
