When the man in the black night suit left, Chen Qianru did not give any positive answer.

In a sense, he was able to represent the Chen family and even decide most things.

It's just that there are some things that are too important, and of course he needs the decision of Chen Baoyun's father, Chen Zhonggong.

A little later, an eagle fell into the camp.

A waiting practitioner removed the brass tube from the eagle's foot and handed it to him.

Chen Jianru took out the secret note in the brass tube, and through the moonlight, he could see clearly the ciphertext on it, which was as thin as an ant's foot.

There was a glint of shock in his eyes.

The message transmitted on this secret note was even more shocking than the previous message that the emperor had decided to make Xiao Hong the generalissimo of the expedition to the Great University.

For him, the few powerful ministers under Xiao Hong, the king of Linchuan, including the second gentleman Xiao Jin, are just worthy of attention, but they don't make him feel that he is an opponent or a stronger opponent than himself.

The real horror of the Xiao family is that the emperor trusts and tolerates the Xiao family too much.

If one day the emperor's attitude towards the Xiao family completely changes, then it won't take him much time to completely defeat the Xiao family.

Among all the opponents in the world, the Demon Sect of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the most incomprehensible and feared existence.

In a sense, the Demon Sect of the Northern Wei Dynasty was the predecessor he needed to learn and surpass.

In his opinion, this battle was originally a contest between several figures like him in the Southern Dynasty and the Demon Sect and the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He thought that compared to the Demon Sect, he still had a great disadvantage.

The Demon Sect had many fanatical followers throughout the Northern Wei Dynasty, and he could only plan with all his might in the Southern Dynasty, and he had to win the secret battle with the Xiao family and the other gate lords before he could complete some of the strategic intentions he wanted to achieve.

It's just that he didn't expect that in Meishan, he would pass by this terrible opponent.

Because according to what is said on this secret note, the Demon Sect has been to Meishan and has stayed in the Meishan area for a long time.

He couldn't imagine now that if it happened to meet, if he and the cultivators he led happened to kill the Demon Sect, what kind of impact it would have on the entire course of the war, and the question he had to consider now was what the Demon Sect had done when it entered Meishan.

If you don't know what your opponent has done, you can't understand their long-term intentions.

And this secret note shows that after entering Meishan, the Demon Sect did not have any contact with those people from the eldest princess of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Chen Qianru's brows were locked like a prison, in his opinion, this was a more important issue than Xiao Hong's matter.

......

"Stop their back, don't let them run!"

"Don't let them cross the river!

The reason why people have doubts and incomprehensions is that they can't be as high as the sun, moon and stars, and see everything that happens in the world, no matter how big or small, is at this time, when his brows are deep and he can't let go of his contemplation, a fierce battle is going on in a suburb of Fuyu County, which is not even a hundred miles away from Taigu County.

In the darkness of the night, there were constant shouts, the whistling of arrows, the sound of gold and iron clashing, and screams.

When the war between the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties intensified, some of the original rogues and bandits who were like rats crossing the street also had room to survive.

When the Zhenwu army in many places was withdrawn, in fact, the horse thieves who had long disappeared in many places in the Southern Dynasty also began to show signs of resurgence.

Sometimes there is a fateful and wonderful connection between all things, and the side participating in the war at this time is an iron army.

The number of this Tiece army was more than 200, and what they were chasing at this time was the horse thieves who had wandered around Guanghan County before.

The number of these horse thieves initially numbered more than 300, but except for a few bandits from the area of Guanghan County, most of the rest were idle people who had joined in the past few days, and some were felons who were snatched from several cells in the process of looting.

The combat effectiveness of these people is a rabble compared with the most mediocre local army, not to mention the Tiece army that is more experienced than the local army and knows how to fight.

This group of horse thieves was chased and killed by this iron army for several days, and at this time there were only more than a hundred left, and in the previous battle, this group of iron army was reluctant to let go of crossbow arrows even after killing most of the horses of these horse thieves.

Even so, both sides relied on their feet, and the physical strength of these horse thieves inspired by the fear of death had been almost exhausted, and when they fled to the outskirts of Fuyu County, most of them continued to let out painful and desperate howls, their feet were already covered with blood blisters, and their muscles were already convulsive.

The lifesaver in the eyes of these horse thieves is a river that looks unusually wide in the night.

Even if most of the people are not very good at water, in their opinion, even if they swim along the river, at least some people will be able to survive and will not be killed by these cat-and-mouse iron army.

At this point of imminent death, most people feel that if they throw themselves into that river, they may be a survivor.

However, their intentions have also been detected in advance by this Tiece army, and dozens of Tiece troops have already relied on their physical strength far beyond them to go around to the river and intercept their back road in advance.

At this time, the reeds by the river were also ignited by the Tiece army, and the flames that rushed to the sky began to ignite, illuminating the desperate and fearful faces of these horse thieves.

Not far from the river, there is also a village, but it is very small, with only five or six families.

At this time, the battle was fierce, and the brave people among these horse thieves who knew that there was no way out also began to want to pull some Tiece troops to accompany them on the road, so even the generals who commanded this Tiece army did not notice that these five or six families seemed too quiet at this time and did not change.

In the earth-shattering sound of killing and the long-day firelight, these five or six houses still did not have any firelight, and there was not even the slightest sound in the houses.

The Tiece Army began the harvest.

Even if there are still some brave people among these horse thieves, this desperate struggle is too futile for them who still have the strength to spare.

More than a dozen sergeants of the Tiece Army formed a group, and in the way they were best at fighting, it was like a sharp blade constantly cutting through the formation of these horse thieves.

No one noticed that among the five or six houses that were almost eerily quiet, a dark shadow quietly walked out.

This is a young practitioner.

He was also wearing the clothes of the Southern Dynasty, just smelling the thick blood in the air, his face began to be filled with a sense of fanaticism and greed, and the true yuan in his body was like many hungry wolves turbulent, this turbulence made the air outside him let out a low roar.

A layer of black gas then diffused from his skin.

The strange noise finally caught the attention of some of the nearest Tiece Army sergeants.

"What people!"

A sergeant of the Tiece Army shouted loudly.
