Chapter 129: The Counties (Part II)

The planks of the window were lowered back into place by gravity.

In the sealed carriage, the light on the candlestick was also dimmed by the hidden window.

Xu Ruo, who was wrapped in a bandage around his head, turned around, walked quickly in front of Chen Yunfeng, and knelt down on one knee.

"Lord. ”

Xu Ruo clenched his fists towards Chen Yunfeng, and on his expressionless face, the eyes in his eyes moved slightly.

"Someone of them arrived. ”

"Hmm. ”

Chen Yunfeng bowed slightly, and then raised his head.

He looked up at the dim glow of the fire on the roof of the car.

"They can't wait. ”

"Strategist. ”

Chen Yunfeng sighed softly, frowning slightly.

His eyes wandered, and his lips pursed in hesitation.

"Will the plan succeed?"

"Won't the counties really take the opportunity to carve up the White Sand Domain?"

Hearing this, Xu Ruo was silent for a long time.

When he spoke again, his voice was calm, and no emotion was audible in it.

"Lord. ”

"Everything in the world is for profit. ”

"But the mortal world is red and bustling. ”

"In the mortal world, no one is exactly the same, so people's hearts are unpredictable. ”

"No matter how high an individual's cultivation is, no one can say that he can calculate everything. ”

Hear the words. Chen Yunfeng's brows furrowed tighter, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows were deeper.

"That being the case. ”

"If the counties ignore the strength of Caoyun County and insist on sending troops to carve up the Baisha Domain. What are we going to do?"

Hearing this, Xu Ruo pursed his lips slightly, and a trace of fierceness and firmness flashed in the depths of his flashing eyes.

"Lord. ”

"Today, Liu Jun's strength far exceeds that of a single county. ”

"The counties can only have a chance of victory if they unite to defend themselves against the enemy. ”

"If the counties only see small profits, they insist on carving up my Baisha region. Naturally, we will not sit idly by. ”

Xu Ruo raised his head and looked up at Chen Yunfeng, his clear eyes reflected Chen Yunfeng's figure, as clear as a lake with floating shadows.

"Huh. ”

Hear the words. The corners of Chen Yunfeng's mouth were slightly upturned, and his frowning brows gradually stretched.

He chuckled, a hint of calmness and self-deprecation in his laughter.

"You're right. ”

"I shouldn't have thought too much about it in the first place. ”

"But people are old, about everything. It's all full of concerns. ”

Chen Yunfeng shook his head. Raised his right hand.

He stretched out the palm of his right hand in front of him.

Between the vertical and horizontal hand lines, the pitted scars are densely covered, and the thin palms are folded with countless pale folds.

No.

Wrong.

"Actually, I haven't changed. ”

Chen Yunfeng exhaled and lowered his head.

He looked at Xu Ruo's face, but saw Xu Ruo's bright eyes.

He tugged at the corners of his lips slightly. But there was no trace of a wry smile.

Although, on Chen Yunfeng's face. It's already covered with bitterness.

"If I hadn't hesitated at the beginning, how could I have Liu Li back then?"

"I've always been so, so indecisive. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ruo blinked.

His face was full of seriousness, and his expression was particularly solemn.

"Lord. ”

"In the past, Xu Ruo will never forget. ”

"Ten years ago, Xu Ruo had already sworn that this body would live and die with the Baisha Domain. ”

"Now the situation is critical, if there is really no one with outstanding knowledge in the counties, it will be the destruction of my white sand. ”

"When the time comes, Xu Ruo will fight for his life, and he will also protect the safety of the whole family of the Lord!"

After speaking, Xu Ruo let go of his hands and fell to the ground.

He spread out his palms and put them facing upwards with the backs of his hands against the ground.

Chen Yunfeng looked at Xu Ruo, who was lying on the ground and touching the floor of the carriage with his forehead, and gradually narrowed his eyes into two thin slits.

He was silent for a long time.

The carriage was silent for a long time.

"Strategist. ”

Chen Yunfeng was silent, and his eyes gradually widened.

A red fire ignited in his eyes, and the red fire dissipated in the next moment.

The originally cloudy pupils in his eyes gradually became clear and pure.

"Why bother!"

Chen Yunfeng squatted down violently and stretched out his hands to hold Xu Ruo's arm.

He smiled.

"I never doubted the loyalty of the military advisors to my county. ”

Chen Yunfeng looked directly at Xu Ruo, the smile on his face was bright and sincere, like a pure crystal without stains, and there was not the slightest flaw in it.

"But as you say, all the counties are for their own benefit. ”

"And the white sand domain is not completely unabandonable. ”

Hearing this, Xu Ruo's body moved slightly, and then he was still again.

He knew that Chen Yunfeng hadn't finished speaking.

So, he didn't raise his head.

"As long as Baisha County is still in the hands of my Chen family, even if some border passes are abandoned, or some territory in the region is divided. ”

"Strategist. ”

"What do you think?"

Hearing this, Xu Ruo straightened his waist and straightened his upper body.

"The Lord's plan is wonderful. ”

"At that time, as long as the spring ploughing has not begun, let the counties agree that our army will move most of the population and livestock in the divided areas into the area that still belongs to Baisha. ”

"In this way, our army will not only gain a large number of strong men, and select those who are good at fighting into the army, but also increase the taxes of the counties and consume their grain. ”

"When the coalition forces are reorganized, our army can use this fiasco as an excuse to temporarily let the counties first garrison in front of Ningchuan to stabilize the soldiers and horses of the Liu family in Ningchuan. ”

"Our county took the opportunity to train soldiers and encourage the people of the county to abandon business and farming, reclaim wasteland, and accumulate grain and grass. ”

"When the Taoist master returns from afar, our county will raise troops to attack Ningchuan together with the counties. ”

Xu Ruo showed admiration on his face and clasped his fists at Chen Yunfeng.

His tone was calm, but his bright eyes were slightly dark.

"At that time, Xu Ruo will be the Lord, destroy the Liu family, and avenge the loss of relatives and blood revenge on the Lord!"

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Yunfeng's face suddenly fell.

He recalled Chen Fu's figure in his mind, and his heart suddenly overflowed with grief.

His body trembled slightly in grief, but he clenched his teeth and buried the pain in his heart.

He looked at Xu Ruo expressionlessly, and several green tendons burst out of his temples.

His tone accentuated, and his voice suddenly became sonorous.

"Strategist. ”

"Fu'er's revenge, I will personally avenge it. ”

"The enemy who kills Fu'er, no matter who it is, I will cut him with a thousand knives to vent the anger in my heart!"

Ningchuan.

Dressed in a moon-white silk robe, Yougen stood by the gate with his hands behind his back.

In front of him, a murky river flowed.

The water flowed down the river, out of the gate, and then into a deep pit dug a foot away in front of the slab wall.

The pit has a curved surface that encloses the slab wall.

The bottom of the pit is fan-shaped, and the edges of the pit on both sides are ten meters apart.

The depth of the pit, starting from the closest position to the slab wall, gradually decreases.

The closest part of the pit to Ningchuan is up to two meters deep, and the farthest part from Ningchuan is only half a foot deep.

In the soil at the bottom of the pit, triangular iron nails and sharp wooden thorns are buried.

The topography of Ningchuan is a little higher than that of the Baisha Domain outside.

The water flows downward.

The water that overflowed the pit flowed into a meadow full of flowers.

The sewage spilled over the meadow for a meter before it stopped.

"It worked. ”

Yougen sighed at the flowing river. (To be continued......)
