Chapter 330: Captivity
The two people who were speechless all night and had no common language seemed to outsiders to respect each other? This is the heart of the spies who peeped at the two before, although now the spies do not need to be secretly monitored, but occasionally walking through this secluded courtyard is also a sigh in their hearts, too respectful as guests, in the eyes of the spies, it is not as good as strangers, if the two people are not noisy together, how can they rub out the spark of love?
A few days later.
Jin Peng came to the secluded courtyard where Ye Xuan was in a panic, Ye Xuan visited Jian'an in the past few days, and the city was more and more quiet, without the previous liveliness. The time for all the demons to go out is getting shorter and shorter.
Seeing Jin Peng's flustered expression, Ye Xuan couldn't help but ask, "What happened to Wen Hou today?"
Jin Peng's brows furrowed. "Hey, Hangu Pass is lost. The city of Nahangu was sacked by the generals of the Great Zhou Empire. There are ruins everywhere. It is estimated that it will be here in a few days, and now the army of the Great Zhou Empire is pushing all the way like a bamboo, and I heard that the group of tigers and wolves like soldiers all the way are committing adultery and plundering. ”
"Didn't you say that Hangu Pass was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the city was broken so quickly?"
Jin Peng said with a gloomy face. "According to reliable sources, it was because the keeper of the city was deceived by a woman, and then he was killed in the middle of the night, and he stole the talisman, which was used by the general's son, and opened the gates! ”
Ye Xuan nodded. Then he exclaimed: "That Hangu Pass is broken, and behind Hangu Pass is an endless plain, won't it be a day to attack the city here?"
Jin Peng's expression was calm. "Even though I had prepared for the worst, I still didn't know what to do when it came to the end. "The Wenhou Mansion moved the finances to a safe place a few days ago, and at the same time, the female dependents of the family were transferred. After all, according to records, every time the Great Zhou Empire broke a city, the labor force and finances in the city were all used as resources, and the attacking generals were divided into thirty percent, and the Great Zhou Empire was divided into seventy, and the scholars in the city also had to pay a certain amount of ransom, otherwise they would also be exterminated.
"That Holy Sect really doesn't have any strength at all?, the city was broken so quickly?" Ye Xuan also felt strange in his heart, he originally felt that the Holy Sect should be a very powerful existence in this Nanzhan Continent, but he was defeated all the way, and basically had no ability to resist. This made Ye Xuan very puzzled in his heart, could it be that the Great Zhou Empire was too powerful?
Jin Peng also looked suspicious. "I don't know, I just remember that in the records, when the Great Zhou Empire was founded, it was still beaten by the Holy Sect. I also thought it was open to five, but I didn't expect the Holy Sect to be with paper paste now. But according to my observations, my current Holy Sect has been quietly watching the changes, and I heard that the Holy Sect's million-strong army had been transferred back before, so it shouldn't be that there is no resistance at all. Could it be a fraud?"
"How long does it take to get from Hangu Pass to Jian'an, if the cavalry?"
"Half a month. However, if it is like the large-scale march of the Great Zhou Empire, it is estimated that it will take about twenty days. "Jinpeng has nothing to hide.
Ye Xuan nodded. "Is there a castle in between?"
Jin Peng shook his head. "No, they are all scattered villages, the Holy Sect only has three vast cities, each city suppresses a state, and the rest are scattered villages and tribes, and there is a flat official road from Hangu Pass to Jian'an. ”
Ye Xuan nodded. "That's it, it is estimated that the Holy Sect will soon march forward. If you don't send troops, will it be possible to wait for the soldiers of the Great Zhou Empire to come to Jian'an City before making a move?"
Speaking of this, Jinpeng's eyes lit up. According to my observations, Jian'an has always had the Holy Sect's dragoons and a large army in the past few days, and they entered the city in 6 succession, and I didn't take it seriously, but if you say so, it is very likely that this will happen!"
Another three days.
Ye Xuan got news from Jin Peng that the army of the Great Zhou Empire had been stagnant in Hangu Pass in the past few days, and was continuously transporting materials from Hangu Pass. I also heard that the huge military reserves in Hangu Pass greatly alleviated the surrounding victims. I also heard that the Demon Emperor of the Great Zhou had issued an order that Hangu would never close the door. Everyone in the demon clan can enter it and ask for survival materials.
This news reached Ye Xuan's ears and shocked Ye Xuan. Although he is not a Nanzhan demon clan, he also said with admiration: "Lord Ming." ”
Despite this, the Holy Sect was still sitting firmly in the city, without the slightest movement. The Holy Sect's calmness also made everyone from all sides unbearable, Ye Xuan also saw a lot of unfamiliar faces during his tour of the city, and even ran to the peak where the Holy Sect was located to listen to the news, but the Holy Sect still didn't make much action. As for Ye Xuan, he also has an attitude that it doesn't matter to him, and he doesn't care about anything, in his opinion, nosy things don't do him any good, it's better to watch quietly and satisfy his curiosity. And the Holy Sect also adopted an attitude of ignoring this group of experts who inquired about the news.
At the same time, the energy in the center of the six floating islands in the city became thicker and thicker, and the air could be faintly seen shaking slightly. Obviously, there is a passage to be opened, as for whether the person who comes is good or evil, it also makes Ye Xuan a little puzzled, could it be that the Holy Sect summoned the immortal realm to descend? Could it be that the Holy Sect's calm reliance is this cross-border energy? All this is just Ye Xuan's personal speculation.
However, during this time, the army of the Great Zhou Empire also changed from 300,000 displaced people to 600,000 troops. The number of troops is indeed getting more and more, but the IQ of many state generals who lead the team is also online, and such a smooth march did not make this group of people fluttering, although on the surface they will ask the Great Zhou Demon Emperor for credit and reward from the officials, but when it comes to actual combat, it is more than one intimidating, for fear that their strength will be consumed too much.
At the same time, these state generals will also discuss together, half of them feel that the victory is coming too quickly, this group of people is more cautious, plus they broke through the Hangu Pass, found the granary of the Hangu Pass, and saw the grain that was piled up in the granary, the eyes of this group of people were bright, and the presence of food represented the drought in various places, and the famine could be alleviated. After all, if the civilians are wiped out due to famine, what can they talk about restoring? This fight is also meaningless, so this group of state herdsmen simply sat on the ground and divided the grain, especially the state herdsmen who caused a famine, and they all sent people to send them back on the spot, although there was corruption in the process, but as long as most of them were transported back to alleviate the disaster and spend this sad day over, they did not care. After all, they all have to live, and many people in the families of petty officials starved to death under the famine.
This group of state pastors never cares about small greed, after all, they have to live, but for the big greed without a bottom line, the black-hearted people are not merciful, and when they encounter one, they will execute one, and the officials who are greedy but actively do things can be raised for them, and the corrupt officials with black hearts and no bottom line can be killed for them! Therefore, the state pastors also arranged a lot of spies to secretly observe along the way, and if they encounter the kind without conscience, they will be killed directly. If there is a person who is honest and honest, he will be promoted directly [31 update fast]! ()
