low-key is king

Chapter 107 Confused Army?

"Could it be that old fellow Lu Mingyang who already guessed what happened today, so he made some arrangements in advance?"

Yang Xun thought a lot about this, but he never doubted Lu Xun himself, not to mention that the bookboy Asha, the second son of the palace, was not by his side this time.

Although the Zhendong Prince's Mansion has fallen, it was once a colossus of the Xuanyang Kingdom, and Lu Mingyang himself is a martial artist of the five realms. Why is it strange to give some treasures to his precious son?
Therefore, in Yang Xun's mind, he attributed Zhang Song's death that day and today's accident on the levee to Lu Mingyang, which undoubtedly made him firm in his decision to annex the palace.

"Second Young Master, as you saw just now, the Hai Clan is extremely ferocious, and they may come to attack at any time. Please take care of the Zhendong Prince's Palace for the safety of the embankment during this period!"

Yang Xunming's attitude on the face is still very good. He didn't mention the fact that the Zhendong Palace changed defense a month earlier. This kind of righteousness was suppressed, and the second son of the Palace couldn't help but not listen.

"It's natural!"

Lu Xun would not break his face with the City Lord's Mansion at this time, but after he finished speaking, he suddenly said: "City Lord Yang, there is one thing that I think I need to remind you about!"

Originally, Yang Xun didn't want to talk too much with this dude, the second son of the palace, and was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking, but when he heard such a sentence from the other party, he turned his head again.

"Master Yang, did you see that white ant?"

Lu Xun didn't care that Yang Xun didn't have too many hidden disdainful glances at all. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the embankment not far away, attracting everyone's attention to that place.

Looking at it, everyone's face is different.

Those present were at least one-level martial masters, and their eyesight was naturally good. Even Liu Chengji, a first-level martial artist, and the guards all indeed saw a white ant.

"I once saw something from Wangfu Library Pavilion..."

When Lu Xun said the words "Wangfu Zangshuge", Yang He, the young city lord not far away, was moved.

Secretly thought that the so-called Tad-shaped characters of the ancient Song Dynasty seemed to be seen by the second son from the Wangfu Library Pavilion at the auction of the Wan Guo Business League?
At that time, even Zheng Qian, the steward of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms Commercial League, didn't see the details of the lump, but he was picked up by a dude of the royal family, and he cut the face of the young city lord Yang He.

At this moment, Yang He heard Lu Xun mentioning the Zangshu Pavilion again, which made his heart a little hot. He secretly thought that after he took control of Zhendong Wangfu, he must go to the Zangshu Pavilion to take a good look.

Didn't you see that since the news of the International Business Alliance, there has been a wave of enthusiasm for ancient characters?
No one would think that the second son of the Wangfu had good eyesight. They only thought that Lu Xun was lucky, and the reason for the good luck probably came from the library in the Wangfu.

"If I'm not mistaken, the white ants should be a kind of... sea clan called 'white ants'!"

Lu Xun didn't care about the thoughts in Yang He's mind, and when he reached the end of his words, he deliberately paused before saying that shocking title.

"Are you kidding? Although these white ants are not common, how could they be from the Sea Race?"

Liu Chengji over there taunted directly, and then under the gaze of everyone, he stepped forward a few steps and stepped on the white ant.

When Liu Chengji raised his foot, the white ant had already been crushed by him. If it wasn't for the somewhat different color, no one would pay attention to this too small thing.

"Sea clan?"

Liu Chengji withdrew his soles, stared at Lu Xun and sneered, he wouldn't believe that termites were from the Sea Clan, they could trample a large piece of things to death with one foot, so they had the nerve to be called the Sea Clan?

In Liu Chengji's mind, the real sea clan should be as ferocious as the iron-scaled sea python before, not the one who can easily crush ants to death. He thinks he can tell the difference.

Almost everyone else thought so, including the city lord Yang Xun.

As a master of four realms, how could he care about a small ant, even if it looked a little different.

"An ancient book records that the white-eating ants of the Sea Clan love to devour hard objects, especially this limestone!"

Lu Xun ignored Liu Chengji's sarcasm, and continued pointing at the white ant that was crushed to death, talking eloquently, and the limestone he mentioned was the main material for casting the sea protection levee, and the material was extremely strong.

Even the three-level iron-scaled sea python from before was extremely powerful, and a full-strength blow could not injure the sea protection embankment at all. This is the defense power of the sea defense embankment.

There have been many riots by the Sea Clan, and it was only by relying on the sea defense embankment that the Sea Clan's attack was blocked abruptly. This is the strongest line of defense in the world of the Human Race.

"Second Young Master, you are scaremongering, be careful to punish you for the crime of confusing the morale of the army!"

Yang He, the young city lord, really couldn't get used to the second son of the Zhendong Prince's Mansion. His voice was so stern at this time. In his opinion, saying such things in public would really be suspected of confusing the morale of the army.

What kind of big waves can a few ants turn up, even if it is really the white-eating ants that Lu Xun said, with the strength of this sea defense embankment, can it really be drilled by a few ants?

"Hey, I only guarded the East Prince's Mansion for a month, but your City Lord's Mansion must be guarded anytime and anywhere. If there is a section of the embankment that is eaten away by white ants, the consequences..."

Lu Xun stared at Yang He over there and chuckled, what he said was true.

Strictly speaking, families like the Zhendong Prince's Mansion or Zhou's and Liu's are just helping to defend the levee, which is not their job.

The real responsibility is the City Lord's Mansion, and the City Lord's Mansion has the most and strongest guards, otherwise they wouldn't be the only one in Watanabe City.

However, besides giving them such great power, the Xuanyang royal family naturally has some unshirkable responsibilities. As the city lord's mansion of Linhai City, the biggest responsibility is to resist the Haizu.

In the past few years, there has been almost no change in the Hai Clan, so the City Lord's Mansion is happy and free, and has the spare energy to subdue the big families in Watanabe City, and even covets the Zhendong Palace.

If it is really like some coastal cities, fighting against the sea clan every three days, how can they have the heart to fight internally? After all, this is all idle, full of warmth and desire!
As Lu Xun said, the private soldiers of Zhendong Prince's Mansion will go back after a month, but the guards of the City Lord's Mansion can't leave. At most, they will change a batch, and they still belong to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Since Second Young Master has reminded you, He'er, you should stay here and check carefully, so as not to fall into the trap!"

Speaking of this, the city lord Yang Xun also had to make a statement, but after hearing what he said, although Yang He nodded in agreement, it seemed that he didn't take it to heart at all.

This is just a gesture. After all, the Zhendong Prince's Mansion still has a certain influence. At that time, if people really want to let people know that the Lord's Mansion of Watanabe City is not interested in resisting the Hai Clan, then there will be troubles.

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely find one of these ants-like things and trample one to death!"

Yang He first clasped his fists to salute his father, but when he spoke later, he turned his gaze to Lu Xun.

It seems that the second son of the palace is the ant he said can be trampled to death at will.

Yang Xun nodded, took one last look at the second son of the palace with a faint smile on his face, and turned around to leave. Naturally, some of his subordinates took Zhou Tiehe away.

After Lu Xun gave Chen Xian some advice, of course he wouldn't really stay here all the time.

He brought people here today just as a gesture, the second son of the majestic palace, how can he really guard the embankment every day?

"go!"

Looking at the leaving figure, Yang He stared at it for a while, and finally gritted his teeth. He didn't even know why, but he hated Lu Xun more and more.

"Young City Master, what about these white ants?"

A captain of the palace guard asked cautiously, and then saw the young city lord turn his head to look at him like a fool, he knew he asked a stupid question.

"I said Mengqi, you don't really believe that boy Lu Xun's nonsense, do you?"

Yang He hated that iron could not be made into steel, and there was a touch of disapproval with a sense of sarcasm. After finishing his sentence, he stretched out his feet and trampled a rising white ant to pieces.

"The young city lord is wise, and his subordinates were almost taken in by that kid, thanks to the young city lord's reminder!"

The captain of the guard named Meng Qi naturally didn't dare to talk back to the young city lord, and even took the opportunity to compliment him, which made Yang He very useful, but he still put on a straight face in the next moment.

"Meng Qi, although these white ants are not a threat, you should not take it lightly. For example, the iron-scale sea python of the third realm may make a comeback at any time!"

This was actually what Yang He was most worried about. When he said these words, he obviously saw the masked figure trembling violently. This man had also seen the horror of the iron-scale sea python before.

"Be careful yourself, if you really encounter an unrivaled sea, you can avoid it there!"

Yang He blinked and gave Meng an idea, and the place where the young city lord pointed his finger was the defense zone of Zhendong Palace.

There, there is a genuine three-realm Xiaocheng martial artist.

It's just that Chen Xian, the commander of the palace at this time, didn't know that he had become the protective umbrella of the guard of the city lord's mansion over there. He was just thinking about a certain order when the second son left just now.

"In about a month, a section of the levee over there will be hollowed out by white-eating ants. Be careful!"

These were Lu Xun's original words. Chen Xian didn't think about why the Second Young Master didn't argue with reason since he knew the result, but just reminded him a little.

Looking at Yang He and the others over there, they obviously didn't take it to heart. When the embankment was hollowed out, and the Hai Clan attacked, the entire Watanabe City would probably fall into panic.

However, Chen Xian already had a kind of blind admiration for the Second Young Master, so he naturally wouldn't question the Second Young Master's plan in the slightest, as long as he guarded his one-acre three-point land.

The Second Young Master must have had a purpose in doing this, most likely to cheat the City Lord's Mansion, and Chen Xian was naturally happy to hear about such things.

What no one knew was that the inside of the embankment under the white ant that Yang He had just trampled to death was already riddled with holes.

The solid coastal defense levee cast from limestone cannot resist the bites of white-eating sea ants year after year after all.
