The battle came so suddenly, it seemed that with the addition of the imperial army on the side of the Pingding King, everything had taken a subtle turn.

did not pull out a few important cities, which is equivalent to giving up the supplies behind him, and wants to fight a quick battle and directly capture the Xia family's lair.

But the question is, how can it really be so easy?

Once the time drags on for a long time, it will inevitably fall into a counter-encirclement trend.

These are questions that ordinary people can think of, will these people who have traveled thousands of miles not know?

So there must be something in the middle that they didn't expect! Xia Lingling walked on the road in the city, turned over her horse directly, and rushed all the way back to the house.

There is really no key to it, and there is only one possibility, and the variable is in this city.

After returning to the house, Xia Lingling didn't stay long at all, just chatted with Liu Yuan for a few words, and then instructed Zhou Xiangwen some things, and then left quickly.

Before, the brothers of the Xia family were still fighting among themselves, but now they don't care about these at all, and if the entire Xia family is gone, what are they still fighting.

Such a simple truth, they will not fail to understand.

It is precisely at the time of internal and external troubles that all we can hope for is that these forces in the city contain each other.

Some of them are towards their Xia family, and only her father knows the specifics.

To this day, there are some things that only the head of the family knows about.

hurriedly left, but in a quarter of an hour, Xia Lingling had already galloped to the north city gate.

At this time, the east city gate was almost under the city, and his eldest brother was in charge of the overall situation.

And the north gate where Xia Lingling came is also very important, such a majestic city, it only needs to be guarded for three days, and there are soldiers and horses from the rest of the places to help.

When the time comes, the men and horses of the king of the flat top will be surrounded and devoured.

But three days, it sounds like a short time, is it really that easy to get through? Xia Lingling climbed the ladder and walked up the tall city wall, frowning and staring into the distance.

Hu Tianbei rolled up a strong wind and blew up the dust and sand in the sky, so uncalm, just like Xia Lingling's state of mind at the moment.

At this moment, on the east city gate, the boss of the Xia family stood straight on the battlements wearing a suit of armor.

I just received a report from the herald that the other party had already stationed troops ten miles away, and did not choose to attack.

The boss wondered a little, what was the purpose of the other party's cavalry galloping? Just to come to them for a hot meal?

The distance of ten miles is not close, but it is not far at all, seizing this opportunity to go out of the city to counterattack, he feels that there is a chance to catch the other party by surprise.

Maybe you can make a big difference.

However, the order he received did not allow him to do so, and his order was only one word - keep.

He slammed his fist on the city wall, raising a puff of dust, and the boss felt a little angry in his heart.

A lot of things have happened recently, and he is a little anxious.

......

Doing his best and obeying the destiny of heaven, Liu Yuan still lives in the Xia Mansion.

But when something happens in the city, he needs to stand up and stand on the side of the Xia family, which is what Liu Yuan promised Xia Lingling.

And this is nothing, or it can be said that it is still the same as his purpose, he has been staring at the movements of that Chu Mountain Lord for the past few days.

But if he dared to make a slight move, someone from the Xia Mansion would immediately inform him.

However, after Xia Lingling left, Zhou Xiangwen also began to get busy, and he didn't know anything about the specific busyness, and he couldn't see anyone anyway.

The owner of Su Zhuang was idle, and the two had little communication.

For a long time, Liu Yuan was immersed in cultivation, so that the afternoon passed quickly.

It was said that it was delayed for three days, and the first day passed so peacefully, and nothing unusual happened.

Or maybe it's an undercurrent surging, and a lot of things are happening in a state that ordinary people don't even notice.

In the early morning of the next day, there were more peddlers and pawns in the long streets and alleys, and these ordinary people only knew that the sun would rise as usual the next day, and they were still busy working in order to make a living.

"Pears, selling pears, fresh and delicious, thin skin and a lot of water. An honest peasant man, carrying a burden on his shoulder, hit two baskets of pineapples, walked at the head of the alley, found a stone slab and sat down.

It was a hot day, and he began to sweat as soon as he sat down.

"How do you sell pears? ”

The front of his head darkened, and the peddler raised his head, only to see a Taoist priest with a thin face, standing in front of him with a smile.

"How many do you have for a penny?"

"Let's have a taste first. The Taoist priest took out a penny from his sleeve.

Holding the pear in his hand, the Taoist priest continued to walk deeper into the alley, and took a big bite and shed a mouthful of water.

Wow, that's so sweet.

When the alley came to an end, the Taoist priest turned left and left, going around all the way, and there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.

And before the pears were finished, they were stopped behind their backs.

When I turned around, I saw three people, a man with a lion's beard, a young man and a girl.

There were a few encounters, and when the young man took off Qingfengwei, he was nearby.

"Poor Dao is not a hexagram in the past three days, let's come back in two days. The Taoist priest took a bite of the pear and said.

"Hehe, fortune telling? No, no, we're here to calculate your lifespan. The very strong man said.

"Why? do you know me?" the Taoist priest asked with a continued smile.

"I don't know, but I know that next year today will be your sacrifice day. ”

"Arrogant, bold. The Taoist priest smiled heartlessly, not stunned at all.

After saying a few words, the young man whispered to his fellow disciples: "Be careful, this Taoist priest has the means." ”

I had met this Taoist priest once or twice before, and I didn't know what I had done in the name of fortune telling.

It is very likely that they will be ruined by the troubles.

For this unexpected situation, the disciples of their Rotten Camel Mountain have always paid attention to elimination.

Whatever is uncontrollable, let him disappear.

"If you don't have any means, do you still need a few of us? The big man clenched his hands into fists, tilted his head, and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

Before the words fell, the whole person disappeared from the place.

At a speed that did not conform to his image at all, it appeared in the sky above the Taoist priest, and his right hand formed a fist and hammered down towards the Taoist Tianling Gai.

Before the fist arrived, the thunder of tigers and leopards sounded in the air.

The punch made everyone around them become depressed.

And the Taoist priest didn't lift his eyes, a Taoist robe flew and quickly returned to calm, under the blockade of the opponent's fist wind, a dodge turned upside down, and it actually reached the top of the big man.

The big man's foolproof punch missed, slammed into the ground, and smashed a large pit with a radius of more than a kilometer.

"Junior of the Thunder Sect of Rotten Camel Mountain, before you left the division, didn't the elders tell you not to provoke me. ”

With a tap of his right foot, he stood on the back of the lion's bearded man's head in an independent posture of the golden rooster.

One person stands on his head, as if he is overwhelmed.

The big man couldn't struggle, and with a poof, he fell face down and smashed into the pit.

There was a core left in the pineapple in his hand, and the posture of the third uncle remained unchanged, looking at a man and a woman opposite, squinting with a smile.
