The old man who came in was not very tall, with gray hair, a big belly, a red face without the wrinkles left by the years, and those round eyes like wild leopards always concealed an elite gaze, anger and intimidation coexisted.

Bai Jian Qi and the others, who had never met before, expected that this old man should be the patriarch of the Feng family, Feng Shidu, and he was really a not simple character.

Feng Shi must not be said to be a strong person with outstanding ability, but he is by no means a mediocre person.

As a big family that has been inherited for more than 3,000 years, it is a fact that the family background is getting thicker and thicker when it comes to the generation of Feng Shidu, if you have to say that there is a place of decline, it is also affected by the decline of Xianwu, and the children of the family who were originally in the major Xianwu sects have now returned to Neckmouth City and taken off their immortal robes for armor.

Feng Shidu is also a rather far-sighted person, as early as the moment the Bai family stepped out of Baicheng, he smelled the breath of the future, and evolved the family power into a warlord power, fully ruling the millions of people in Neckmouth City, in this era, it is definitely a big city.

After coming up and saying a few polite words, Feng Shidu said straight to the point: "The Yanhuang Sect first sent someone to rob my Feng family's spar mine in the northern region and kill my Feng family's children, and now, the army is going south, intending to seize the city and the thoroughfare, and tear the soil to claim the king! The old man took the liberty to come this time to ask the White City Lord to send troops to support and resist the foreign enemy!"

The purpose of his coming, Bai Jian Qi and the others already knew it.

Being able to confess like this really made everyone a little impressed, Yeqing preemptively said: "Patriarch Feng, you should know that we have something to do with Yanhuang Sect, and you let us send troops." It's just to let us tear our faces with Yan Huangzong, this kind of unflattering thing inside and out, it's very embarrassing. ”

Hypocrisy, carrying a muddy egg full of bad water is hypocrisy, but Bai Jianqi likes it very much.

Nodding his head and praising at the same time, an imperceptible smirk flashed on Bai Jianqi's face, and he pretended to be very embarrassed and added: "Actually, our ambition is not big, as long as we have a foothold and are not trampled on our heads." Just like it is now. Offensive and attackable. I was already very satisfied, I didn't think about continuing to fight in the south and the north, I was tired!

"Ten thousand stone military rations. Plus thousands of snow silkworms and hundreds of carts of spart. Can it be done?" Feng Shiju asked cheerfully.

Bai Jianqi stretched out an index finger and swung it. He replied calmly: "It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of principle, and I'm not afraid to tell me frankly." My master, who was held hostage in Yanhuang Sect, really can't help it. "Saying this, Bai Jianqi's heart exploded, thinking, you old horseman is really rich, you can have ten thousand stone military rations, thousands of silk, and one hundred carts of spars at every turn, which is higher than the total income of my imperial capital in a year, if I take your city, then yours, aren't all mine? hehe......

The tacit Yeqing obviously knew what the hell Bai Jianqi was doing, and politely agreed: "Our city lord is right, Lao Feng, you are indeed ...... It's really hard for us, I'm afraid we don't have enough power. ”

"That'...... Then you can't see death without help......" Feng Shizhu was so anxious that he almost didn't jump up and down, he originally thought that the conditions he offered were sincere enough, after all, even if his Bai family took a few more small cities, he might not be able to reap this kind of benefit. Now seeing that Bai Jianqi was unmoved, his heart seemed to be biting thousands of ants, two words, uncomfortable! He hurriedly said: "Lord Baicheng, think about it, if my neck city is lost, it will be equivalent to letting the tiger out of the mountain, what good will it do to you in the future?"

Bai Jian Qi said disdainfully: "Give him 10,000 guts to Yanhuang Sect, forgive him for not daring to spread wild on my family's territory!"

"This ...... Alas......" Feng Shidu's face was blushing and dim, replaced by despair, and after a long sigh, he gave up his hands lonely and said, "Farewell." ”

"Wait. Just as he turned around, Bai Jian Qi suddenly said again: "Having said that, no matter what, the Yanhuang Sect is our common foreign enemy, and we can support you, but there are conditions." ”

Hearing the word "support", the originally disheartened Feng Shiduan was like resurrecting with full blood on the spot, and said excitedly: "As long as the White City Lord is willing to send troops, the conditions are easy to say, just speak." ”

"We don't want your rations, nor do we want your silk cloth and fine crystals, but we don't want to help each other purely out of righteousness. Seeing that Feng Shidu's expression was a little shocked, Bai Jianqi added unhurriedly: "We only have one condition, and we only cheer and don't make a move until we have to." ”

"What do you mean by this? Feng Shiju asked in confusion.

Wuwei, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly stood up and explained: "What our city lord means is that we can send troops to support, but only to assist you in guarding Neckmouth City and ensuring that Neckmouth City is not taken. Going out of the city to meet the battle, you will charge yourself. ”

Feng Shiju asked: "Then what kind of situation is the 'last resort' that the White City Lord just said?"

"Isn't this very clear?" Ye Qing said: "To be more detailed, it means that in case you are beaten like a lost dog and flee from the desert, and you evacuate the front line with your butt between your butts, you need someone to wipe your butts, right? ”

Bai Jianqi nodded and said: "As a last resort, we can't directly fire with Yan Huangzong, I hope that the old man will understand, this is the only condition for us to send troops." ”

Feng Shiju suddenly realized, and scolded secretly: "How capable I am when you are, I didn't dare to fight with Yanhuang Sect head-on, no wonder you don't want a gold and a silver, do you have the face to stretch out your hand?" However, he thought that there was a backing behind him, no matter how many people died on the front line, it would not be a way for Jiashan to be copied, and there was no way to do it, Feng Shiju gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, please send troops as soon as possible, and the old man will return to his neck first, and wait for good news." ”

"Okay! Someone is coming, send Feng Lao for me. ”

After seeing the world decide to leave the palace, Bai Jian Qi poured three glasses of wine with a smile, raised his glass and said to Wuwei and Yeqing: "Come, a toast to our tacit understanding." ”

"Haha~~ That old stupid fork, I can almost imagine him standing in front of the city gate like a lost dog and scolding. The three cups touched, and the hops splashed out the passion and heroism that only belonged to men, like the words of the night blue: "This is called time to run, time to run!"

After a cup of belly, Bai Jian Qi licked his lips with all his heart, and said with an evil smile: "This time, if we can swallow Neck City without a single soldier, we have to thank the Yanhuang Sect." ”

"That's necessary. Yeqing turned her head to look at Wuwei and said with a smile: "Idiot, this time we have to go out together." I'm the best at the dirty things I want to do behind my back, but I still have to rely on you to deal with the Yanhuang Sect. Shot, you brought it up, hehe, if there is any accident, you have to bear it. ”

The expressionless Wuwei nodded silently.

......

On the last day of the month, and the last day of the year, there was a light snow in the sky. The 30,000 elite soldiers selected by Yeqing from the Shenju Battalion as the advance force were the first to arrive at Neckmouth City, and Feng Shizhu led a cadre of clan elders to personally open the city to meet the troops, and the 70,000 infantry led by Wuwei walked mightily on the way.

The city is vast and has a population of one million.

Before the arrival of Nightshade, the city was in turmoil, and many people left their homes with their bedding to escape the scourge of war. But after Yeqing's army entered the city, the situation improved a lot, and the people believed that with the help of the Bai family, even if the Yanhuang army was a fierce tiger that ate people and did not spit out bones, it would definitely not be able to fight in the city. It can also be seen from this that the influence of the Bai family's army in Tianshu Star is no longer the same, as if hugging the Bai family's thigh is equivalent to hugging a gold medal for avoiding death.

Also on the same day, the Yan and Huang army led by the crow crossed the majestic snow-capped mountains and rapidly advanced towards the Silver Valley.

Silver Valley is only fifty miles away from Neckmouth City, and it is an important defense line on the periphery of Neckmouth City, with a small force stationed there, about the size of more than 1,000 people. This line of defense was formerly a supply depot in the Northern Regions, and now that war has been declared on both sides, it has naturally become a front-line outpost.

The crow who knew it well did not despise the strength of the small force of the Silver Valley, he knew very well that the wealthy Feng family could develop to such a point today, mainly because of the large number of Su Xiu disciples in the family, and at this juncture, the Silver Valley must have a master to lead.

Halfway through the army, the crow suddenly stopped advancing and looked up at the sky, where the snow was still falling, but it was no longer white. He turned around and announced to an adjutant riding a six-winged Heavenly Tiger mecha beast next to him: "Pass the order to go down and camp on the spot to rest." ”

The current state of the Yan and Huang Army, whether it is a soldier holding an ice weapon or carrying an F19 on his shoulder, is an infantry, a limited six-winged Heavenly Tiger mecha beast, and there are only more than a hundred of them in the whole army, which is only enough for the officers, and the soldiers have no share, but this does not affect morale.

As early as the moment of the expedition, Wu Xie had already announced to the whole army that no matter who it was, as long as he made a first-class meritorious service, he would be directly included in the list of candidates for the Dragon Army. In other words, as long as you rabbits are willing to work hard, what kind of mecha beasts will you ride in the future, let's ride the dragon directly!

The command battalion was the first to be set up, and a fire was burned inside.

Wu Hao sat by the brazier and rubbed his red palms, turned his back to the crow who was looking at the map and complained: "That old man Feng is really cheap, he actually licked an old face and begged the Bai family to send troops, didn't he know that he was luring a wolf into the house?"

"Sluts live cheap lives, and we should be happy about that. The crow rolled up the map, picked up the flask and poured a glass of liquor for Wu Hao, and drank it directly into the spout. With this heart-warming wine, he walked to the tent where the cold wind was howling and looked out, and saw wolf smoke rising in the direction of Baiyin Valley, and chuckled disdainfully: "I'm moving the rescue soldiers, and the response speed is quite fast." ”

"Or ...... Tonight, we will take the Silver Valley first, and rob them of the grain they have supplied to the mining area. Wu Hao said worriedly: "Our military food can only last for seven days at most, and we can't fight a protracted war here." ”

"So, being poor is the deadliest blow. The crow looked back and smiled: "If you want to make a fortune, even if you want to fight!"

"Hmm. Wu Hao nodded and asked cautiously, "What are your plans?"

"They have already lit a beacon fire, and believe that the reinforcements will soon arrive in the Silver Valley, and they will grab the military rations and get it quickly. The crow said bluntly: "The tent is still in place, and the stove is burning, but the main force cannot stay here." Gather your forces now and set off, quietly divert your route, outflank them from both flanks, and take them by surprise!" (To be continued......
