Everything was arranged, the four generals performed their duties, the defenders of the entire Zhu'an City began to move, and Ye Guan sat quietly in the hut, closing his eyes and resting.

The more critical moments like this, the more we must be calm and not make a mistake.

Because everything was a reasonable conjecture from beginning to end, Ye Guan didn't have any evidence to prove that what he said was necessarily true, and Tianqing City wouldn't be stupid enough to leave obvious evidence to make it possible to take off the hat on the head of Dongwangfu.

Everything that I thought of before was deduced from the clues from all angles, and it was deduced to the back, and after thinking of the possible purpose of Tianqing City, it made people's backs chill.

But there is one thing that Ye Guan still hasn't figured out, Tianqing City, as a transcendent existence, has stood in the enclave for hundreds of years, why has it suddenly made such a move recently, even at the cost of slaughtering the people, to unify the power, and has the ambition to expand? As people grow older and experience grows, their thirst for desire slowly decreases, and Tian Shun, the lord of Tianqing City, has always been in a high position, and the status of Tianqing City has never been threatened, why is he leading such a thing?

Thinking wildly in his head, but Ye Guan also knew that he might never be able to figure it out in this matter. It is impossible to know the thoughts of those who are sitting in that position. No matter what Tian Shun's plan was, there was no doubt that the Dongwang Mansion would bear the brunt.

The enclave covers an extremely large area, separated by two rushing rivers, and the Black Stone Bridge on this side leads to the Eastern King's Mansion of the Qitian Empire, but the other side does not know where it leads. It is rumored that the Black Rock Bridge in the opposite direction has never been opened and has been closed, and all the high-level officials of the East Wangfu, including Ye Guan, do not know what the other side of the bridge is.

There was a plan before, if the enclave was successfully taken, after the chaos of the prayer sky subsided, I would go to the other end of the enclave to have a look and explore the unknown area. But now, this matter is in vain, if Tianqing City is not overthrown, the East Wangfu will be in danger. Under the absolute force of Tianqing City, self-preservation is a problem, how can we talk about expansion.

Ye Guan did not report any hope for luck in the future development of events, he only hoped that Huang Yongning would react as soon as he received his letter, and before the plan of Tianqing City was implemented, the army immediately marched quickly, withdrew from the enclave, and all the staff entered the Blackstone Bridge. If so, there may be a chance to breathe.

Sitting in the hut, Ye Guan didn't move, and he didn't move the food sent in by the little school who was responsible for taking care of him, his mood was very heavy, but he couldn't show it to anyone. He deeply understands that Dongwangfu is now encountering an unprecedented crisis, and the weak current box needs to protect itself in this crisis, the first thing it needs is a calm mood, no matter what happens, it can't mess up.

The mood that I had after returning from Tianqing City before must not appear again.

From early morning to noon, time passed in Ye Guan's dry sitting, the deployment in the city had been completed, outside the city, Kou Long had made all preparations according to Ye Guan's orders, and the two brigades had also opened up, occupying the retreating pass, everything was ready, just waiting for the enemy to attack.

But until dusk, there was no movement of the enemy troops. Ye Guan asked his subordinate colonel, and there was news from the city that the enemy's camp had been very quiet, and the enemy army could be seen walking and assembling in the camp, but there was no intention of attacking.

Ye Guan was not surprised by this. After all, the enemy attacked several times before, and did not achieve any substantial results, although it caused casualties to the soldiers of the Eastern Palace, but it was still far from breaking the city. Coupled with last night's battle, he used his fighting spirit to kill all sides, and the enemy army must have known the news of his return, so he had to make some strategic adjustments.

However, the more they adjusted, the more Ye Guan knew in his heart. If the enemy does this, he will become more cautious, and it is naturally a good thing to be more cautious, but for the plan set up by Ye Guan, the more cautious the enemy, the more he can enter the full set.

Ye Guan's cultivation may not be the top, but if you want to talk about the strategy of battlefield conquest, I am afraid that Tianqing City will not be able to produce someone who can compete with him. Fighting with soldiers is not a competition between cultivation masters, there are too many things to consider, and without long-term fighting and tempering on the battlefield, it is absolutely impossible to become a top general. And to become a top general, there is light

These are not enough, you also need to have a sober and calm mind, quick reaction thinking, and be able to carefully figure out the intentions of the opposing generals, just like a game, there are only a few chess pieces on the chessboard, but the master can calculate the battle situation after a dozen or even dozens of steps, without this ability, you can't become an excellent general.

And Ye Guan has exactly this quality. This is also one of the reasons why he has a high prestige in the East Palace.

The enemy camp outside the city did not make any moves, and the city naturally did not easily open the battle situation, time passed slowly, Ye Guan sat quietly in his hut, according to his speculation, at ten o'clock in the night, the enemy army will start a tentative attack, this tentative attack will not be fully attacked, and will definitely be tested in the defensive places around Zhu'an City to explore the reality of his own garrison.

Ye Guan also said to the rest of the generals the idea of showing weakness to the enemy, and they fully understood what Ye Guan meant. The fighter plane is fleeting, if you can't defeat the enemy with a single blow, you can't win the opportunity to retreat, if the enemy reacts, the Dongwangfu sergeant is likely to be wiped out.

Therefore, not only Ding Jiang, who is in charge of the city wall, but also Kou Long, who is in charge of the left and right mountain ranges, is also very nervous in his heart, showing the enemy weakness, and making the enemy believe that the Dongwang Mansion has lost its combat effectiveness, which is not easy to do. The combat ability of the soldiers of the East Prince's Mansion has been vividly demonstrated in the previous battles, and this matter requires a very subtle critical point to operate, at this critical point, so that the enemy can think that the combat power of the East Prince's Mansion has decreased.

However, the two main generals Ding Jiang and Kou Long already have their own ways to deal with this, and Ye Guan is not too worried.

Picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently, I heard a gentle knock on the door from the door, and only heard the little school on duty at the door say: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, Xu Bao asks to see you." ”

Ye Guan raised his eyebrows, Xu Bao was attacked by the Zhu'an City formation when he cracked the formation for himself before, and he was unconscious, and he also asked about his situation, the sergeant in charge of taking care of him said that he was not awake yet, Ye Guan always felt that Xu Bao's backlash may be great, and it is not so easy to recover, but he didn't want Xu Bao to be awake now, and he came to see him.

Putting the teacup in his hand on the table, Ye Guan said softly: "Come in." ”

There was a soft knock on the door, and Xu Bao, who was dressed in light armor, came in, knelt down on one knee, and said, "I've seen the Commander-in-Chief." ”

Ye Guan looked down and saw that Xu Bao's face was pale, he should have just woken up from a coma, so he immediately came to look for himself, and couldn't help frowning slightly, and said: "Fang is just sober, why don't you take a break, come to see you in such a hurry, is there something wrong?" ”

"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. Xu Bao responded and bowed his head slightly, Ye Guan could see his complexion, like a person in a serious illness, his body was full of weakness, as if a gust of wind could hang him.

Ye Guan pointed to the stool on the side and said, "You're just a little better, sit down and say." ”

Xu Bao barely squeezed out a smile on his face, but he didn't refuse, walked to the side of the stool, and did it, just a few simple steps, he began to have a slight breath. Ye Guan frowned slightly, it seems that the formation is not as simple as he imagined, Xu Bao is a rough formation, can depict many formation spells, and is relatively familiar with the basic principles of the formation, he has only come into contact with the outermost illusion formation, and he has been countered like this, so what he saw in it before is not considered the category of formation.

Ye looked at Xu Bao and didn't ask immediately, Xu Bao gasped slightly for a while, and then said: "Lord Commander-in-Chief, the villain has just woken up from a coma, and there are some things that I haven't had a chance to say before, and I think it's more important, so I came to the Commander General as soon as possible and made it clear." ”

"You say. Ye Guan's heart sank slightly, and he felt that it would not be good news.

Xu Bao seemed to be thinking about what to say, pondered for a while, and said: "Before, the Commander-in-Chief asked me to try to crack the formation, and after the villain portrayed the cracking formation, I entered the illusion formation and saw the scene that I will never forget......

After a pause, Xu Bao had a palpitating expression on his face, and said: "The villain saw the corpse mountain and the sea of blood, and countless dead souls floating in the air, it was not an illusion formation at all, it seemed to be another world. In that world, in addition to the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood and the sky full of dead souls, I also saw a person. ”

Speaking of this, Ye Guan's heart suddenly suddenly, he seemed to have guessed what Xu Bao was going to say.

Sure enough, I only heard Xu Bao say: "One is wrapped all over."

The man in the black robe, standing on a high ground, the area under his feet, covered with corpses, surrounded by the souls of the dead in the sky, hoarse roars, this picture is engraved in my heart, and I still have palpitations. ”

Ye Guan frowned, he immediately knew who the person in Xu Bao's mouth was, that is, the person who took it to Zhu'an City to resolve the hidden disease in his body, the mysterious black-robed man, the people of Zhu'an City, all died under his hands.

You go on. Ye Guan's face sank, but he was not flustered, and asked.

"The next thing happened in an instant, I thought at first that the pictures I saw were all illusions, so I immediately portrayed the spell to crack the illusion, but at the moment when I began to portray, the man in black turned around sharply, I clearly felt that his eyes were looking at me, and then, my formation was immediately destroyed, and the back ......" Xu Bao didn't say any more, and the things behind Ye Guan were also clear, Xu Bao was counterattacked by the formation, vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the plan to crack the illusion also failed.

"Is that all?" Ye Guan didn't show anything, but looked at Xu Bao and continued to ask.

Xu Bao raised his head and looked at Ye Guan, Ye Guan clearly saw a strong fear in his eyes, and only listened to him: "Before the villain woke up, he seemed to see this picture again, and the man in black also said something to me......"

"What did you say?" Ye Guan was immediately alert and hurriedly asked.

"He said to me, Ye Guan, don't come to harm?" Xu Bao looked at Ye Guan, and the horror in his eyes was extremely thick.

Ye Guan was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and felt that his scalp was a little fried. What Xu Bao said may have been the original words he heard, but this was obviously not said to Xu Bao, it should have been said to himself. Could it be that the black-robed man was conveying what he meant to himself through Xu Bao?

Thinking so in his heart, strange things happened again, and cold sweat couldn't help but appear, could it be that Xu Bao entered the illusion realm before, and played some mysterious connection with the black-robed man?

"What else did he say?" Ye Guan's face was silent, but his heart was already a little shocked, to say that his feelings for Tianqing City may be wary of everywhere, but it has not yet reached the point of changing the color of talk, but for this black-robed person, Ye Guan has been in contact with it head-on, this person's mystery and ability are completely beyond his imagination, he is absolutely afraid of this person, and he also deeply understands that the crisis brought by Tianqing City to the East Wangfu is mostly from this mysterious black-robed person.

After saying this, I was sober when I thought about it. Xu Bao's face was still quite jealous, and he looked at Ye Guan and said softly: "Thinking about it, I think there may be any connection between the things before and after, so I will come to you as soon as possible." ”

Xu Bao had fallen into a coma before the large army entered Zhu'an City, and he didn't know what happened after that, nor did he understand the cause and effect of the incident, but he felt that the black-robed man who appeared in his dream was very mysterious and weird, and it was definitely related to the formation of Zhu'an City, so he came to Ye Guan and told him everything he had seen and heard.

Ye Guan frowned, his mind was racing fast, for a moment, he looked at Xu Bao, and said softly: "I already know about this matter, you go down to rest first, see that your face is not good, the injury should not have recovered, we will leave in the next few days, take advantage of this time, recover some more physical strength." ”

Xu Bao was stunned for a moment, as if he had something to say, but he opened his mouth, but he still didn't say it, Ye Guan had his question, but he didn't mean to explain to him, the look in his eyes that let him leave was all the time, Xu Bao could only get up, respectfully saluted Ye Guan, and then withdrew.

After Xu Bao exited the hut, Ye Guan let out a long sigh of relief.

In addition to him, everyone in the Dongwang Mansion didn't know the horror of this mysterious black-robed man, the secret wounds in his body had been wandering in his body for more than ten years, so that he could be tortured but there was no way, he had completely given up the possibility of curing the dark diseases in his body, but this black-robed man lightly expelled the power in his body, this simple action left a deep impression in Ye Guan's heart, and no one else knew how much power he had to have to expel the mysterious power in his body.

And this is only part of it, and the formation of slaughtering the people that this person used is also extremely weird. And in the entire Dongwang Mansion, the only one who really entered this formation and saw everything clearly was Ye Guan himself.

He is the only one who really knows the horror of this black-robed man.
