"Moon Harvest City...... Lost!" In the hall of sentient beings in Changkong Temple, a disciple hurriedly entered and reported in a hurry.

Hearing this news, the elders of Changkong Temple in the hall couldn't help but tighten their throats.

"Moon Picking City? There are thousands of defenders in Moon Picking City, how can it be so easy to lose it? We should immediately send troops to reinforce the surrounding cities. An elder said hurriedly.

"Amitabha, what the ordinary elder said is right, two cities have been lost in just a few days, and reinforcements must be sent immediately, otherwise the great elder and the head of the sect will come back, how should I explain. Another elder said.

"But the problem is that the host and the Great Elder are not there, and we don't have the right to transfer troops. "There is a humane.

"Elder Changli, didn't the Great Elder let you take charge of the affairs of the temple before leaving? The ordinary elder who had just spoken.

"Amitabha, calm down, reinforcements will naturally be sent, but it may not be enough to transfer troops from other cities, the enemy is menacing, and the momentum is like a bamboo, which has a great impact on the morale of the surrounding city guards. "The elder who is called common sense.

"Elder Changli is right, now that Caiyue City has been lost, the first ones to bear the brunt are Shanlai City, Luoyun City and Hengsha City, these three cities are the barriers of the hinterland, if there is any further loss, I am afraid it will shake the foundation of my Changkong Temple. "Ordinary people elder said.

"Spread the decree to select two thousand elite disciples from the inner court, divide them into three groups, and then draw half of the troops from the ten cities in the rear to support Shanlai City, Luoyun City and Hengsha City, these three cities must not be lost. Elder Changli commanded.

"Amitabha. Hearing the arrangement of common sense, everyone chanted the Buddha's name and seconded the proposal.

"City Lord, Moon Harvesting City has been lost, and it will be our turn next. "In the city lord's mansion, the city lord Chuan Morin listened to the guard's report, and his brows were tightly locked.

"Have the scouts who went to inquire come back? Chuan Morin said.

"I'm back, I'm outside the house. A general in armor replied.

"Call in. Chuan Morin hurriedly said.

"Yes" After the general received the order, he walked out of the mansion and brought in a scout with a disgraced face, who had not yet had time to remove a disguised scout.

When Chuan Morin saw the scouts coming in and wanted to salute, he raised his hand and interrupted: "Just say something." “

"Yes" The words of the reprimand were forced back, swallowed his saliva, and said: "In less than two days, Caiyue City was lost, and more than 400 soldiers were captured. “

"What about the city lord Wangjiang Dragon?" said Chuan Morin.

Seeing that the general situation had turned, the lord of Wangcheng led the people to surrender, and now there is no other news of him. The rebuke said.

"Didn't slaughter the city?" asked Chuan Morin again.

"No, instead of slaughtering the city, the surrendered soldiers were not mistreated except for unarmouring and disarming, and none of the people in the city were harmed. The scouts replied one by one.

"This is strange, the previous Liuhai City was slaughtered cleanly, and even the Zhaoyun River was dismantled, why was it treated favorably in Caiyue City this time?" Chuan Morin was a little puzzled.

"Back to the city lord, I heard from the refugees who came from outside Liuhai City that it was because of the stubborn resistance of Liuhai City, and as a result, the owner of Jiuyuan Island was furious, so he ordered the city to be slaughtered. The scout hesitated.

"How many troops do they have?" asked Chuan Morin again.

"There are at least tens of thousands of them inside the city, and there seem to be even more outside the city. The scout replied.

"So many, no wonder Liuhai City and Moon Harvesting City were taken so quickly. Chuan Morin muttered to himself, then shook his hand and motioned for the scouts to retreat.

"What are your best plans?" After the soldiers left, Chuan Morin's eyes glanced at the generals and guests under the seat.

"Maybe we can wait and see the news from the temple. A general said.

"It will take four or five days to go back and forth in the temple, and besides, how many reinforcements can the temple give? 1,000 or 2,000?" said a doorman.

"You can't surrender without fighting, right? What if the temple blames you in the future?" said the general.

"I'm afraid that you won't be able to wait for the future, and you will already be in the hands of Jiuyuan Island first. The doorman scoffed.

"Commander Bu, how long can the current defense of Yishan come to the city?" Ignoring everyone's arguments, Chuan Morin asked the city defense commander directly.

"Maybe a day or two at most. Commander Bu replied.

"Why? Our forces are always much stronger than Caiyue City. Chuan Morin asked.

"Defending the city is the heart, especially the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, morale is particularly important, but now the people in the city know the situation of Caiyue City and Liuhai City, and they have asked to open the door and surrender. Commander Bu replied.

"I can't imagine that these people are very well-informed?" Chuan Morin suddenly laughed.

Seeing the city lord smile like this, everyone was a little stunned, how could the city lord still laugh when the soldiers were about to come to the city at this time?

"It should be the news brought by the displaced people. Commander Bu said.

"Well, it's not, Jiuyuan Island is so planned, it can't be said that it is not clever. Chuan Morin said.

"What do you mean, the city lord, that they deliberately let the outcasts bring this news to discourage us?" said the commander.

"Otherwise, I'm afraid that there are also a lot of detailed works of Jiuyuan Island among these so-called outcasts. After Chuan Morin finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and said, "I'm going to ask for a letter and tell Zhongshan Ceyun, the owner of Jiuyuan Island, that the door of Shanlai City will be open for him at any time." “

"The city lord thinks twice. Commander Bu couldn't react at once, and hurriedly dissuaded.

"What are you thinking, you can't keep it, if you annoy the other party, you will dismantle me in eight pieces, and the people in the city will also suffer. It turned out that Chuan Morin had already decided in his heart that he wanted to surrender with that smile just now.

"The city lord is decisive and wise, and his subordinates admire him. While everyone was talking to each other, a general stood up and agreed with Chuan Morin's opinion in public.

"This ......" Seeing that someone took the lead in agreeing, everyone didn't bother to discuss it, and they all joined in, and in just a while, the matter of surrendering was finalized, and the atmosphere was very relaxed, and they all seemed to be quite happy.

At the same time, Luo Yuncheng is also staging this scene. They think that as long as Jiuyuan Island is not wiped out, it is the best choice to surrender directly without losing a single soldier, the city is still this city, and its ultimate owner is Changkong Temple or Jiuyuan Island, there is no big difference for them, the people still pay taxes the same, and the soldiers still receive the same money.

Only Siwen, the city lord of Hengsha City, did not have the slightest idea of surrendering, because Hengsha City was near the sea, and in recent years, it had been poisoned by the pirates of Jiuyuan Island, and the local people and soldiers could hate it when they heard the word "Jiuyuan Island". In addition, Tang Siwen was able to stay until now because of the kindness of Changkong Temple in his early years, so he can't have the idea of surrendering no matter what.

"Report to the city lord, the fortifications have all been arranged, and many common people have spontaneously participated, and they are guarding the city gate with knives, forks, hoes, and rakes, do you want to persuade them to go back. One of the guards reported to Tang Si.

"It's okay, everyone hates Jiuyuan Island to the core, and it's useless to persuade them, just let the soldiers take their places step by step. Tang Siwen sat in the council chamber and replied with squinted eyes.

"City Lord, with our current situation, we can only hold on for five days at most, and if there are no reinforcements at that time, I'm afraid that our Hengsha City will also fall into the fate of Liuhai City." A guest said to Tang Siwen.

"You can rest assured, Hengsha City is bordered by the coast in the east, through the south and north of the south, it is a fortress, and the hinterland is behind. Tang Siwen said.

"The city lord is right, maybe reinforcements are already on the way now. The doorman chimed in.

"Report to the city lord that a group of suspicious people have been found outside the city. "The guards suddenly rushed in to report, and there was no need to announce in advance at the very high time, they could directly enter the palace to report the military situation.

"Oh, go and see, and command the brethren to be on guard. Tang Siwen got up and commanded.

So everyone also hurriedly got up and walked towards the city tower with Tang Siwen in their arms.

"It's too dark to see clearly. "When I got up to the city tower, everyone looked down together, and there was indeed a group of people who were rushing towards this side, but the night was hazy, and I couldn't see what the people looked like.

"City Lord, beware of deception. A guest reminded.

"Fetch the rocket. Tang Siwen stretched out his hand.

The soldier on the side immediately lit the arrow, and then handed it to Tang Siwen along with the bow. Tang Siwen took it, pulled a full string, got on the rocket, and then loosened his fingers, and the rocket shot quickly in front of the comer with firelight.

The rocket was stuck in front of the group of people, and the weeds were lit up with sparks, and the group of leaders could barely be distinguished from the monks who were dressed as monks.

Tang Siwen threw down his bow and arrows, and hurriedly asked, "Is the person who came from the temple to send reinforcements?" ”

"The Great Elder of Changkong Temple often asked. Suddenly, a loud voice came from the crowd below, and Tang Siwen's legs softened when he heard it, and he said, "Big ...... Great Elder?" and then rushed down the tower, and shouted, "Quick, open the city gates, and greet the Great Elder." ”

As soon as the city gate opened, Tang Siwen hurriedly greeted him with a group of people, and when he got closer, he didn't often ask who else it was, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know that the great elder is coming, and I hope to forgive my sins." ”

"Let's go inside. Chang Wen didn't pay attention, and walked directly towards the city, in fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to say a few more words, but now his body has reached the limit, and he has been tortured by soul poison in prison for several days, and he has been floating on the sea for several days, and even the soles of his feet are a little fluttering.

"Is this?The people of Jingling Mountain?And the Gulun Sect of the Nine Yin Pavilion?" Tang Siwen and the others looked at this group of people in Hengsha City with some shock, they were all elders and elite disciples of the major factions, thinking about it like this, Hengsha City was saved.

Tang Siwen hurriedly glanced at him, signaled everyone to hurry up and make arrangements, settled the people of the major factions, and then followed Chang Wen and his party into the city.
