Chapter 188: Into the Tiger's Den

After Zhou Linlin recovered Baiyu City, he led his troops back to Luohai City to rest, although the attack on Luohai City did not consume too many troops, but it was too hard to supply troops during this time, and the transportation of resources was a big problem if he had to attack the royal capital later.

Zhou Linlin sat on the city lord's mansion in Luohai City every day and meditated, looking at the map of this Junguo, there were only three cities in Junguo north of the King Mountain Range, Luohai, Huguan and Baiyu, and the rest of the cities were all small towns, and there was no way to accommodate Zhou Linlin's tens of thousands of troops.

The west side of the King's Mountain Range was originally a border camp of the Junguo, but it had been ceded to the Lion Clan. And in the south from north to south are the five cities of the royal capital, Shenwei, Qingzhu, Tianji and the earth robbery, of which the earth robbery is said to have been given to the half-orc leader Zhang Fan, Zhou Linlin could not bypass the royal capital to attack the city behind, and Zhou Hesheng sat on the support of the five cities, and the strength was far superior to his own, and the lasting victory was not big.

At this time, Mu Xiaofeng brought food to Zhou Linlin, he looked at Zhou Linlin looking at the map in a daze, and the previous meal was not moved. Mu Xiaofeng patted Zhou Linlin's head lightly and blamed: "Can you come up with it without eating?" Where did your body suffer from this! ”

Zhou Linlin touched her head, then pouted angrily, took Mu Xiaofeng's food, hastily took two bites and continued to stare at the map in a daze. Mu Xiaofeng let out a long sigh, then shook his head, he looked at the map in front of Zhou Linlin, and then pointed to the earth robbery city in it and asked, "This is the city that Zhou Hesheng ceded to Zhang Wenyu's father?" ”

Zhou Linlin nodded and introduced Mu Xiaofeng to rob the city. The city is the southernmost city of Junguo, and it is another important pass of Junguo. To the south of the city is the country of He, which once occupied the city in the war against the country, and slaughtered more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in the city, and only a few thousand people remained. Later, after the Junguo recovered the city, the weakened nobles of other cities were moved, resulting in an extremely complicated relationship between the forces of the city.

"Now Zhang Fan has taken the half-orcs to live in the city again, and I feel that the relationship between the city is even more chaotic than that of the royal capital!" Zhou Linlin frowned, although she was talented and intelligent, she still lacked experience, and she still couldn't understand the complex political relations.

There are three major forces in the current Underground Robbery City, the old aristocratic forces that survived the invasion of the Heguo, the new aristocratic forces that moved into the Underground Robbery City later, and the half-orc forces brought by Zhang Fan. At the beginning, Zhou Hesheng threw this hot potato to Zhou Hesheng, which could resist the invasion of Heguo in the south, and also restrict the development of the half-orcs, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Mu Xiaofeng looked at the map and thought for a while, then pointed to the city and said, "What if we go and persuade Zhang Fan to surrender?" Don't forget, Zhang Wenyu is his son, as long as we can find a way to coordinate the relationship between these three forces, He Sheng's strength will be greatly reduced when Earth Robbery City is on our side. ”

Zhou Linlin carefully looked at the map in front of him, if Zhang Fan was on his side, Zhou Hesheng could be said to be on fire in the backyard. But Zhou Hesheng didn't have time to take care of Zhang Fan, because his current focus was on the royal capital.

When Zhou Linlin heard Mu Xiaofeng say this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she devoured all the food in front of her, so that she had completely forgotten her identity as a princess. After eating, she smiled at Mu Xiaofeng and said, "Let's go, let's go to Earth Tribulation City now." The waterway is too slow, so let's just go straight to the land route. ”

Mu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment at this time, then hurriedly held Zhou Linlin down, shook his head and replied, "You are a princess, you just stay honest in Luohai City." I'll just go with Zhang Wenyu and them about this. ”

Zhou Linlin was unhappy at this time, she pouted again, and then called everyone over and announced to everyone: "From now on, all the affairs of this princess will be in charge of Qu Lingsha, the city lord of Luohai City, and Xi Ruhai, you will be responsible for being the advisor of the city lord of Qu, and you will declare that this princess is sick and will not see anyone." This princess decided to secretly go to the city to meet Zhang Fan, if anything happens to me, if anything happens to you, those who are willing to continue to serve the city lord of Qu will stay, and those who are unwilling will disperse by themselves. ”

As soon as everyone heard that Zhou Linlin was going to rob the city in person, they dissuaded him, Zhou Linlin was a royal bloodline, and it was too dangerous to pass through Zhou Hesheng's jurisdiction, Mu Xiaofeng shook his head disapprovingly.

Zhou Linlin smiled when she saw that everyone didn't agree, she pointed to the Earth Robbery City on the map and explained: "We went to the Earth Robbery City this time in the hope of winning over Zhang Fan, if I, the princess, don't come forward in person, it would be too insincere." ”

At this time, everyone was speechless, and could only agree with Zhou Linlin's plan. Zhou Linlin also returned to her camp to pack her luggage at this time, she needed to set off immediately, because in case He Sheng launched an attack while she was not in Luohai City, she had no choice at all.

At this time, Mu Xiaofeng was also about to go back to prepare his luggage, but he was stopped by Qiao Zi, Qiao Zi's big eyes stared at Mu Xiaofeng, and then asked, "Are you also going to the Earth Robbery City, you can take me with you!" ”

Mu Xiaofeng shook his head at this time, he touched Qiao Zi's face, showed a look of pity, and replied, "The road to rob the city is far away, and it is too dangerous. It's good for you to stay in Luohai City, and I will be much more relieved to have everyone take care of you. ”

Qiao Zi lowered her head when she heard Mu Xiaofeng say this, she felt that she was getting farther and farther away from Mu Xiaofeng, seeing that Mu Xiaofeng was with Zhou Linlin every day, and it was the marriage contract given by Wang Zhou Zhou He Ming, she was always worried that Mu Xiaofeng would leave her one day.

At this time, Qu Lingsha slowly walked to Qiao Zi's side, gently put her hand on Qiao Zi's shoulder, and said softly to Mu Xiaofeng: "Don't worry, child, I will take good care of Qiao Zi." Of course, the mother knew Mu Xiaofeng's thoughts, so she took off a ring on her hand and put it on the middle finger of Mu Xiaofeng's right hand.

This is the Dawn Ring left for Qu Lingsha on the eve of the morning, after Mu Xiaofeng put on this Dawn Ring, he felt that the vitality in his body was instantly sucked away, and the whole person was so dizzy that he almost fell.

Qu Lingsha smiled, told Mu Xiaofeng the origin and function of this ring, and reassured Qiao Zi that with the protection of the Ring of Dawn, Mu Xiaofeng would be fine if he went.

Qiao Zi heard that this was the Ring of Dawn, and grabbed Mu Xiaofeng's hand to carefully observe the Ring of Dawn, but Mu Xiaofeng, who was held tightly by Qiao Zi, blushed slightly at this time, and looked at Qiao Zi's serious expression and was stunned.

At this time, Yun Jie, who had finished packing her luggage, saw this scene, and felt a little uncomfortable, she pretended to cough, and then urged Mu Xiaofeng to quickly pack her things and leave. Mu Xiaofeng withdrew his hand at this time and ran away with a red face.

After Mu Xiaofeng finished packing, he rushed to the gate of Luohai City, while Zhou Linlin, Zhang Wenyu, Qin Baoyi, Yun Jie, Feng Xun and He Qian were waiting there early. Zhou Linlin saw that Mu Xiaofeng was slowly swallowing the ground before coming over, and was so angry that she rushed forward and knocked Mu Xiaofeng's head hard.

Mu Xiaofeng rubbed his aching head, then stuck out his tongue and made a grimace to make amends to Zhou Linlin. Then he took out several special masks from his bag and handed them to everyone, and said: "This is a few special masks specially asked for by Leng Shaoduo, and it should be no problem to deal with the guards of the royal capital." Under the guidance of Mu Xiaofeng, everyone put on special masks, and then rushed to the royal capital in a carriage.

After two days of driving, they finally came to the vicinity of the royal capital, and the people who were bumping on the carriage were already exhausted. At this time, they heard a noisy noise around them, and everyone got out of the carriage to take a look, and at this time they saw several soldiers pulling a few village women in the village to take a carriage.

Mu Xiaofeng was furious when he saw this scene, jumped out of the carriage and pointed at the soldiers and shouted, "Stop!" Under the royal capital, you still dare to do evil! These soldiers were frightened by Mu Xiaofeng's shouting, but a few people turned their heads and found that Mu Xiaofeng was only a teenager, and immediately stopped taking Mu Xiaofeng in their eyes.

One of the leading soldiers waved the heavy sword in his hand, and then directly put his head in front of Mu Xiaofeng, and sneered: "Where did the little ghost come from, disturbing grandpa's affairs here, I am following the king's will to escort fifty folk girls to the Acropolis, where did you come from, hurry back to where you go." ”

Mu Xiaofeng clenched his fists at this time, and was about to make a move when he was stopped by Zhou Linlin. Zhou Linlin apologized to the leader at this time, and gave him a bag of gold, telling him not to blame their children.

The leader looked at Zhou Linlin, and then laughed and said, "This little girl is still sensible, don't get out of here." With that, the leader shook the money bag in his hand and swaggered away.

Zhou Linlin pulled Mu Xiaofeng back to the carriage at this time, and several people continued on the road, but Mu Xiaofeng was always sullen on the way, and he didn't have a good face for Zhou Linlin. Zhou Linlin comforted Mu Xiaofeng at this time and asked him not to be angry anymore.

But Zhou Linlin's comfort made Mu Xiaofeng's anger not lower at all, but Mu Xiaofeng asked angrily, "Why did you stop me just now?" Do you know that if these people are captured, they may become sacrifices to the God Worship Sect, and now Zhou Hesheng has become more and more excessive, and the criminals are no longer enough for him, and now they are all starting to arrest civilians. ”

Zhou Linlin sighed and shook her head at this time, she put her hands on Mu Xiaofeng's hands at this time, and then buried her head in Mu Xiaofeng's chest. Zhou Linlin replied with a crying voice: "Do you think I don't want to save them? They are the people of Junguo, but we saved one batch, so what about the next batch? And if you fight with this group of soldiers, it will definitely alarm the eldest brother, and for the sake of the overall situation, we can only see death and not save it. ”

"Maybe it's better to live than to die!" At this time, He Qian, who had been silent for a long time on the side, suddenly spoke, she looked at Mu Xiaofeng and Zhou Linlin seriously, and continued: "Didn't you notice that they only arrested women? If it's a sacrifice, why does it have to be a woman, it's possible that it was used to cultivate orcs. At this time, He Qian's words made everyone fall silent, He Qian looked at the scenery outside the carriage and thought a lot, and all kinds of memories of the past came to her heart.
