Five days later, March 15.

Gimhae City.

The sky is clear and as clear as a meadow.

Eagles flew by, grazing the flocks of birds returning north.

Castle Guard.

It's still the same people five days ago, but there is less virtue and more Hong Jian.

"The villain first picked a few methods that Hong Gongzi said and tried them, and it obviously had some effect, but it was still not enough."

Tian Liu stood at the bottom of the hall and introduced to the adults.

"So the villain used the last 'mental humiliation'."

His eyebrows flew.

"The effect is really outstanding!"

"According to Hong Gongzi's instructions, I put a hood on the prisoner, stripped naked and walked around the courtyard a few times, and finally before he left the yamen, he took the initiative to recruit!"

Tian Liu said excitedly, and bowed to Hong Fan again.

When the people heard this, they were overjoyed.

"What did Xiao Twelve do, you hurry up and tell me more!"

Gongsun Shi asked.

"He first recruited the location of Nanhua Xiao's lair."

Tian Liu said.

"About a hundred years ago, the remnants of the traitors fled to the southern part of Zhanzhou, and later to an island in the sea."

"The island is called Jinjiao, and the Nanhua Xiao clan has a population of more than 1,000 there, and there are more than 10,000 people."

"Is there a specific location?!"

Gongsun Shi became more and more anxious.

"Not this one."

Tian Liu replied.

"Xiao Twelve said that Jinjiao Island is not small, but he doesn't know the specific location."

"How can it not be clear? Didn't he come from the island? ”

Liao Zhenghao asked.

"Returning to Liao's garrison."

Tian Liu arched his hand, but he was neither humble nor arrogant.

"The prisoners said that they took a big boat to go back and forth, and it took more than ten days to go each way, and they couldn't go on the deck at will during this period, so they didn't know the specific direction and distance."

Liao Zhenghao let out a "sigh" and slapped the armrest.

"Tian Zhutou, can you ask about the organizational structure and strength of the Nanhua Xiao Clan?"

Hong Fan interjected at this time.

"Yes."

Tian Liu replied diligently.

"According to the prisoners, the Nanhua Xiao clan is still branched out according to the genealogy of the kings at the time of the rebellion, and important matters are decided by the 'princes' of each branch."

"In addition, the Nanhua Xiao Clan currently has two celestials, who have passed the ten-digit Yuan Magnet, all of whom are practicing the Purple Sky Transformation Dragon Sutra."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room was a little cold.

With the power of Jinhai City, no one can control any Nanhua Xiao Yuan Magnet.

However, a rebel of this level should not be in the realm of concern for anyone here.

"Jin Hai's plan, but there are still missing accomplices?"

Jung Joon asked.

"Xiao Twelve is saying no."

Tian Liuzheng color road.

"He said that he left Zhanzhou two years ago, and he went north to northern Xinjiang at the same time."

"But the western Xinjiang side of Liangzhou only assigned him and Xiao Shisan."

Everyone bowed their heads and felt a lot more relieved.

The rebellion in northern Xinjiang was last year, and the scale was not large, and everyone here knows it.

"By the way, did you ask about hating Xingjun?"

Hong Fan asked again.

"Childe's entrustment, naturally I don't dare or forget."

Tian Liu replied.

"It's just that the prisoner alone refuses to confess."

"I wanted to be ruthless again, but this morning his mental state was already very poor, and I really didn't dare to force him anymore."

Hong Fan had no choice but to give up.

"Tian Liu, what are the real names of these two people?"

Hong Wu took over the conversation.

"The dignified Xiao family, and they are all the lineage of kings, can't it really be called twelve or thirteen?"

"Back to the adult, the villain asked himself."

Tian Liu's mouth had a smiling smile on the corner.

"Xiao Twelve's real name is Xiao Zhenxie, and Xiao Thirteen's real name is Xiao Kefei."

Everyone was stunned.

There was a lot of spitting in the room for a while.

At this moment, someone outside rushed closer.

"Military Emergency!"

Before the people arrived, the cry came first.

After two breaths, a soldier burst into the door.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a beacon fire in the cold spring oasis in the north, it is first-class!"

He shouted in a hurry, not even having time to salute.

"Are you sure it's first-class?"

Liao Zhenghao was stunned, got up and shouted.

"Lord Garrison, you can't make a mistake!"

The soldier replied.

"Everyone on the north wall has seen it!"

There was a sudden panic in the room.

As far as Hong Fan knows, the beacon fire on Jinhai's side is divided into levels.

Among them, there is only a wolf smoke in the third class, indicating that there are scattered enemy troops.

Class B is two wolf smokes, indicating that there are at least nearly 100 snake people who may seize the oasis.

The first class is the same place and three smokes, representing the pressure of the army.

"Why did you suddenly have a first-class beacon fire?"

Zheng Zhun was a little flustered.

"Could it be a mistake?"

He had only been in Jinhai City for six years, and at that time, Ma Jingsha had already risen and reversed the attack and defense.

"It's just a mistake for the third class, but it's impossible for the first class."

Liao Zhenghao categorically vetoed.

"Cold Spring is the northernmost oasis, only one hundred and sixty miles away from Jinhai City."

"If the snake army is overwhelmed, the remaining three oasis outposts will be undefendable."

"Four days later, the snake man should be able to come to the city!"

As he spoke, he shouted to the heralds.

"Xu Si, go and memorize the military situation, and now send it to Xijing with carrier pigeons!"

The soldier shouted yes, turned and walked away.

And under the high hall, not only Zheng Zhun was at a loss, but Ren Yuanlong's lips were even whiter.

"How did it suddenly get to this point?"

Ren Tongzhi muttered, glancing at Hong Jian, who was sitting side by side with Zheng Zhun and his face as usual, and his panic decreased slightly.

"Obviously, the mastermind has been caught, how can the snake man fulfill the contract? Is there still a fish that slips through the net? ”

"Not necessarily."

Gongsun Shi shook his head and said.

"Maybe it's related to the white snake parasitic in Xiao Shisan's body."

Hong Fan agreed.

At this time, Zheng Zhun finally calmed down.

"Without the Heaven Turning Society and the Li family as internal responses, the snake people have no certainty of victory, why are they still sending troops so easily?"

He asked Liao Zhenghao.

"Lord Castle Guard doesn't know that snake people often don't care about victory or defeat in battles, not to mention that the rebels of the Heaven Turning Society may have given other rewards."

The latter replied.

"For these cold-blooded reptiles, war is all about blood sacrifices."

"Win with other people's blood, transvade with your own blood, that's all."

Liao Zhenghao sneered.

"And what are our odds?"

Zheng Zhun asked again.

"It's hard to say."

This time it was Gongsun Shi who answered.

"Li Heming said that the contact was with the private army of the tribe of the Silver Scale Divine Son, so I think the total strength will not exceed 20,000."

"Considering the Shakou Guard Station and Yuquan City, which also guard the main road, this force will be dispersed."

Ren Yuanlong was relieved when he heard this.

"That's just a thousand?"

"There are 4,000 defenders in my city, and with the soldiers of each family, it is not difficult to make up 6,000."

"Relying on the power of the city wall and the ability of the weapon to supervise the ordnance, how can the snake man go down to the city?"

He laughed.

But no one in the house echoed it.

"Lord Tongzhi has just come to Jinhai for less than two years, but he underestimated the snake man."

Liao Zhenghao spoke.

"According to the estimates of the DPRK, the number of snake people is probably in the millions."

"There are much fewer than our Dahua, but they are the real soldiers of the whole people."

"My human race can only get a usable sword and shield soldier after half a year of training, and snake people are born with scales, claws and fangs, and their ability to hunt and kill is brought from eggs."

"According to the previous battle examples, the same cultivation as a snake person can defeat one against three."

"If it's a one-to-one number, even if we count the geographical advantage, we are still weak."

Ren Yuanlong's face was difficult to look at.

"Liao Garrison, should we call for reinforcements as soon as possible?"

"For example, to General Chu of the Shakou Guard?"

Ren Yuanlong asked.

"It must not be able to move over there."

Liao Zhenghao replied.

"They have been having friction with the snake people since the beginning of the year, and now they think that they should be in the arrangement of the Heaven Turning Society."
