The frightened Bai Ye had just walked out of the tooth shop, and happened to hear that the old steward Tao was going to invite the two girls to come out, and "persuaded" Jiang Jinglan to obey the arrangement. He waved his hand and said weakly, "I'm busy, I'm busy." ”

Then he glanced at Jiang Jinglan with pity.

The eldest lady clenched her pink fist, frowned, and gritted her teeth silently. It seems that the methods of the two senior sisters still have tempers, and she knows better than others.

The people of Fangyi no longer paid attention to the stubborn eldest lady and pulled Tao Lao to a small meeting.

They obviously knew who they really should find when discussing things with the Jiang family.

Jiang Jinglan was once again left out in the cold, and her mood was extremely bad.

She tilted her head to look at Bai Ye, who was being dragged to a meeting by He Dacheng's shoulders.

The eldest lady suddenly stomped her foot and shouted angrily: "How can he participate, but I can't?"

Bai Lingyu slowly floated past him with his hands behind his back, and shook off a sentence: "He is from Fangyi." You're not. ”

"There are a lot of people in Fangyi! isn't it just because he is the son of an iron guard, what's the big deal!"

Bai Lingyu also tilted his head: "Who told you? His father is not an iron guard." ”

In Jiang Jinglan's heart, he had long decided that Bai Ye's relationship with Tiewei was extraordinary.

It's not just that he always hangs out with the Iron Guards. The little senior sister told her as soon as she was still alive that this guy had easily absorbed the fire secret art, and his combat power was probably far above him.

At his age, he doesn't look much older than the two senior sisters. If you can cultivate to this height, you must be the descendants of the Iron Guard.

Thinking about it, she grabbed Bai Lingyu beside her and said viciously: "You sang double reeds at the beginning, right? !

The more Jiang Jinglan pondered, the more certain he became, what was a silent reminder, what was a sacrifice to rescue, the scene when the three of them first met, now that they think about it carefully, the more they think about it, the more weird it becomes!

"You're all in a bunch! Cheering to please me? What is your purpose?"

Xiaobai's facial features were twisted together, and he glared at the eldest lady for a long time without speaking.

It was a long time before he shook his head, and said as he went, "You're thinking too much." We didn't know each other before, and we have no interest in flirting with you. ”

"You, you, why are you going!"

"Meeting!"

"Wow, you're also from Fangyi, whose son are you?"

Bai Lingyu stopped, he frowned and looked back at Jiang Jinglan, and immediately became happy.

The eldest lady was already flushed, as if she had drunk too much wine. A pair of wonderful eyes glared at the boss, as if he was about to cry out in anger.

Xiaobai straightened the blood-stained silver armor, took a deep breath, and said, "I can go to the meeting just because I am a soldier." Look at it! Captain!

August 17, Yongshun City

The summer nights in the Kannan Plain are rarely clear. Although the windproof oil lamps brought by the Yunzhou archers were hung everywhere, the light of the stars could still be seen clearly through the wisps of thick black haze.

The Qingping Pavilion and Changle Gambling House next to the Chengcheng Pavilion in the city are no longer occupied. The night in Yongshun City suddenly lost its former hustle and bustle. The various businesses around the square were re-enclosed, leaving only a few handymen to keep vigil.

In the Cheng Pavilion, Cheng Buxian, Hades, Kong Desheng, and He Dacheng's four iron guards, either sitting or leaning or lying, all of them had solemn faces.

Except for the king of Hades, who has been guarding Fangyi, the other three iron guards are all around all year round, and it is rare for everyone to get together. No one expected that it would be like this when they met again.

Bai Ye and Bai Lingyu, who were on crutches, waited carefully beside the two injured uncles, and did not dare to say more.

Also attending the meeting, in addition to the general manager of Jiang Jiatao, there was also a middle-aged man with a face like gold paper and long hair and chest, who was the city of Yongshun City, Long Wuji.

He is also a member of the Jiang family.

The Long's lineage is extremely special in the Jiang's position in Quanzhou. Just as the Tao family has been in charge of the Jiang Chamber of Commerce's accounts for generations, the Long family has been leading the Jiang Chamber of Commerce's private soldiers for hundreds of years.

Nineteen years ago, after the imperial court issued a decree and officially abolished the garrison, Quanzhou was finally able to take the military power on its own. The 8,000 private soldiers hired by the Jiang family came to the fore justifiably. The two brothers of the Long family came forward to guard Quanzhou by their younger brother Long Wuxing.

And his elder brother Long Wuji was ordered to reorganize and operate Yongshun City five years ago.

Being able to be sent to the front line to open up a stronghold and consolidate the trade channels between Lan and Wei shows that President Jiang Qian values him.

And if he can really gain a firm foothold under the big city and make Yongshun prosperous, it can be seen that Long Wuji is not only a martial artist, but also has something extraordinary.

He Dacheng was very familiar with Long Wuji, and it was he who pulled Shi Cheng back from the outer defense line of Yongshun City for a meeting.

After the two entered the house, Captain Cheng, who had been waiting for a long time, unfolded a two-foot-square map of Guannan, detailing the frontline battle situation from last night to the present.

"The Great Array of Secret Rites is completely destroyed. ”

The first sentence made the hearts of everyone present fall into the ice cellar.

The Iron Guards have been silently immersed in the defense system of the Kannan Plain for more than ten years. No one wanted to believe it, and they couldn't believe that the great array that had poured a lot of effort into the Lan Kingdom was really destroyed head-on overnight.

Cheng Buxian muttered worriedly: "Give 100,000 horses to the Wei Kingdom, and they all have to be folded in the array." We have been deducing for so many years, even if the spiritual source in the array is insufficient, this confidence is still there. ”

"But who would have thought that the Northern Barbarians really brought tens of thousands of spirit beasts, and they were really willing to use spirit beasts to fill the formation. ”

He Dacheng complained slowly: "If I were the Thunder Emperor, I would be reluctant to play like this." It's not a good deal. ”

"That's what I said. However, these spirit beasts are really rough and thick-skinned, and it is forbidden to fight and resist beating. After tossing all night, there should be more than 20,000. Among them, there are no less than three thousand carnivorous spirit beasts with strong combat power, and the number of high-level and super-level is unknown. ”

It seemed to be a little colder in the room. Bai Ye secretly stuck out his tongue. Listening to the description of the wounded soldiers who fled, a high-level spirit bird almost lifted the entire first canton. And the super-level spirit beast, he has also seen it.

Not to mention the plough for the time being, just the giant eagle, under the coercion it exuded, ordinary people can't even raise their weapons, how can this battle be fought.

Hades, who was lying on a stretcher, finally spoke: "Specific losses?"

Captain Cheng stared down at the map, and said while pointing: "Needless to say, the five hundred Jiangzhou soldiers in the enclave in front of the gate are gone." The people in the first and second tuns are very clever, there is no hard top, and they have escaped a lot like you. However, the road was broken up by the people of the Ul country, and not many returned to the team. The losses of the baggage team were relatively large, and seven teams were completely wiped out. ”

He looked up at Bai Lingyu: "If you don't believe it in time, it's eight." ”

Bai Lingyu and Bai Ye seemed to think of something at the same time, glanced at each other, and both held back.

Kong Yishou coughed, owed a debt, and took out a cigarette stick out of nowhere.

Although his internal organs were seriously injured, fortunately, the two secret magicians of the Jiang family were full of spiritual power and clever methods, and they recovered quickly under timely conditioning, and now they can sit.

He rubbed the stem of the cigarette pouch and asked, "Where is the big handsome?"

"The marshal has arrived at the third tun, and I rushed from there. ”

Captain Cheng stared at the blackened cigarette stick in Desheng's hand for a moment, and then said, "The people of Wei are rushing too fast and attacking too strongly. After the breakthrough of Yiertun, our defense has no geographical advantage, and they will inevitably rush straight to the river network and kill the big camp. ”

The expressions of several of the guards were visibly shocked. Bai Ye looked at it in his eyes and was a little surprised.

Xiao Bai leaned into his ear and whispered: "The secret instrument array is in the light, and the river network defense is in the dark, my father has been preparing for many years. Unless they all have wings, none of them will want to break through the river network. ”

Bai Ye suddenly.

It turned out that over the years, Dashuai still had arrangements in the water network area of Jiangzhou.

"The marshal raised the flag in the third tun, and ordered a war book to fight the Thunder Emperor tomorrow, and now the surrounding enemies have begun to gather as they wish. So, Tao Lao, let's leave for Fangyi tonight, and then turn west and go back to Quanzhou. ”

Tao Lao nodded: "Da Long, you must prepare as soon as possible." Yongshun has a lot of eyes, don't retreat to Fangyi, take everyone back to Baishui City first. It's safe to be in the way of the camp over there.

Long Wuji, who had been speechless, stroked his long hair and said, "Let's send some more capable men to escort you back to Quanzhou." I sent a letter to my brother, and I guess I will answer it halfway. ”

Shi Cheng looked at the iron guards: "The roads around Yongshun are criss-crossed, and they are also the main hub of the Jiangzhou River network. If you want to lure the enemy deeper, it should be a good choice. We will obey the commander's arrangement, vacate as soon as possible, and evacuate the people. ”

Iron guards, you look at me, I look at you. In the end, He Dacheng came over with a smile and patted Shi Cheng's shoulder: "I can't hide anything from you, brother." It's a matter of confidentiality, and if it's been concealed all these years, your brother must be able to understand it, right? ”

"It's about the fortunes of the country, the Jiang family must be the liver and brain, the little Yongshun, what to worry about. Long Shicheng stood up, "The rest, it's inconvenient to continue listening, let me retire first, and make preparations immediately." ”

Seeing Shi Cheng float out of the house, Bai Ye stuck out his tongue: "This is, angry?"

Xiaobai was also confused: "Did he hear it? How did he hear it? We didn't say anything?"

Tao Lao smiled and waved his hand, and said lightly: "There is nothing to be angry about, and there is nothing to regret." ”

After a while, the old man was still afraid that these veterans would have concerns, so he simply broke it and explained: "Dalong has been running Baishui City all along. In the past few years since the establishment of Yongshun City, it can be regarded as a great contribution to the Jiang family. The first is to make statistics and actuarial calculations on the commodities entering and leaving the big city, and adjust our commercial and trade priorities. The second is to take advantage of this unique location to collect and intercept all kinds of intelligence. Ladies and gentlemen, my family's information network is always led in Jiangzhou, Huzhou, and Hezhou, which is Dalong. ”

Tao Lao looked at the iron guards and continued: "However, the river network defense line is a top secret. Xiao Lao'er also knew before he came, and the head of the family never mentioned it to Dalong at all. But what a shrewd man he is, he should have noticed it all these years. ”

Tao Lao smiled and twisted his beard, and asked leisurely: "The commander suddenly set up a banner this time, in order to gather the enemies all over the mountains, right?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously.

"If the river network defense wants to play the greatest effect, it must be the people of Wei Guo who take the initiative to rush in, right? The marshal personally rushed to the third tun to pick up the enemy to make an appointment, and the little old man admired it very much. Of course, I am also looking forward to the signs that the big dragon smells, whether the Thunder Emperor will also smell it, and whether he will still open his mouth to bite the bait of Yongshun. ”
