The Demon Soul is Coming

(Happy New Year!_)

Jia Xing was surprised that the Second Miss of the Hou Mansion and Princess Jiyu would appear here.

Xia Zhaowu shouted: "Good brother-in-law, my sister said why you didn't go back so late, let me take a look, it turns out that you are fooling around with these women here." Jumping over, all the tables, chairs and chairs were kicked. turn.

Jia Xing had heard that the second lady of the Hou Mansion was unruly and willful, but he never thought that the real person was worse than the rumors. He was just a scribe. He had never seen a girl so fierce before. He was frightened out of his wits and had no idea .

Miss Zhao Wu kicked her brother-in-law to the ground, and beat those girls until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. She covered her head and fled, but she was still not reconciled, she cursed a few times, and shouted: "I'll tell my sister right now."

"No." Liu Sang yelled, hugging his sister-in-law's leg, snot and tears.

Jia Xing thought, this kid is worse than I thought.But Liu Sang jumped up and pointed at him: "It's none of my business, it's him, he used these to bribe me."

Miss Zhao Wu turned around and stared fiercely at Jia Xing. Jia Xing's legs gave way and he fell to the ground for a moment.

Although Liu Sang kept begging, the merciless sister-in-law made the matter worse and worse, and even called a group of guards from the Hou's mansion to tie them all into the mansion.Princess Ningyun followed the sound and looked at Liu Sang expressionlessly. In order to protect herself, Liu Sang quickly pushed all the crimes on Jia Xing, and said how and how Jia Xing bought him. Riches and honors cannot force beautiful women to be invincible, and remain unmoved from beginning to end.

Princess Ningyun looked at Jia Xing, and yinyin said coldly: "You gave my husband a woman. What is your intention?"

Jia Xing was disheartened, and thought helplessly, since he had already gotten to this point and offended the princess, even dragging Fuma into the water would be useless, it would only offend Fuma, so he could only bear all the responsibilities with a bitter face .Everything is my fault, and it has nothing to do with Fuma, Fuma is a righteous and awe-inspiring way to say that wealth cannot force beautiful women to prostitute.

Princess Ningyun was full of anger: "Get lost." Send someone directly.Drive out Jia Xing and all the deputy envoys and attendants he brought.

As soon as Jia Xing left, Princess Jiyu, who was still a tigress just now, held her stomach and laughed non-stop, and sat in that row with her brother-in-law again.Eat fruit.

Xia Yingchen said: "I'm afraid that this kind of thing will be spread all over the city tomorrow, and it will also hinder my husband's reputation, but I have wronged my husband."

Liu Sang said: "Although this is the case, everyone will know that it is impossible for us to break with Jingcheng and support Jingcheng."

Xia Zhaowu giggled and said: "Brother-in-law, you acted too much just now by pretending to be pitiful when you fell to the ground. Is it because you really did a lot of bad things, and the show is fake?"

Liu Sang stuffed a grape into her mouth: "Go eat your grapes." Then said: "We can't refuse the marriage proposal team sent by Mr. Zhiyu, we will ask you tomorrow."

"Yeah." The sister-in-law put her hands on her hips, "It's just their scumbag who wants to marry this girl? See if I beat them out."

On the other side, Jia Xing was driven out of the city overnight by the soldiers, although he had a bitter stomach.But nothing can be done.When he arrived at the gate of the city, two generals escorted him, one of them suddenly stuffed something into his hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't blame, sir, here is a kit. My military adviser, please return to Jingcheng, sir. Let's go again." Open."

Jia Xing was startled, the two pushed him out of the city at the same time...

After some days like this, the battle situation ahead came.

Xia Yingchen, Liu Sang, Xia Zhaowu, Zhao Wugeng who had rushed back from Zuhai, and Wu Yigang who had been training in the navy all along gathered together.

Wu Yigang laughed loudly and said: "As expected, the military advisor is really good. Lian Zhuzhai's vanguard general Zhuge Kuang attacked Jingcheng, and he lost a lot, even his head was chopped off by the old general Huang."

Liu Sang said with a smile: "Lianzhu Village only knows that we have broken with Jingcheng and Qingmu City, but they don't know that long before they sent troops to attack Jingcheng and Jingcheng sent envoys to ask for help, our soldiers had already set off and hid in a hidden place. Madman Zhuge, as his name suggests, is brave and foolhardy, this ambush is completely beyond their expectations, how can they win?"

Zhao Wugeng raised his forehead and said: "The most important thing is that not only did we deceive the enemy, but also our own people. Even the Jingcheng side thought that they had fallen out with us, and we would not send troops at all."

Liu Sang said: "Since Lianzhuzhai wants to swallow the whole of Xu Dong, there are naturally his spies everywhere. If you don't deceive your own people, how can you deceive them? No matter how crazy Zhuge Kuang is, if he knew in advance that we are joining forces with Jingcheng, he would be able to deceive them." Don’t dare to attack the city directly like that, give us an opportunity.”

Xia Yingchen said indifferently: "Although Lianzhuzhai lost the vanguard general, the main force is still there, what should we do next?" Although he didn't specifically point out who to ask this question, his eyes turned to Liu Sang.

Liu Sang had been prepared for a long time, and said: "The power of Lianzhuzhai is developing very fast, but because of its momentum, it is too big to be right. When the trend is good, everything is easy to say, but when the trend is against the trend, it is full of loopholes. Now they only have two ways, either to gather troops, or to go all out. They oppressed Whale City, but Whale City won a big victory, and their morale was extremely high. Lianzhuzhai lost a vanguard general and suffered heavy losses. If the two sides fight an offensive and defensive battle in Whale City, we and Qingmu City will support them from the rear. They will not think about it in three to five months. Broken City, Whale City and Qingmu City have been run for generations. Although Xue Zhong claims to be the Overlord of East Vietnam, in the southeast of Hezhou, he is still just a bandit who rises due to the situation. His foundation is not stable. So they can only use the second method, on the surface to suppress the Whale City, but actually bypass the Whale City and directly attack us or the Qingmu City."

Xia Yingchen thought for a while: "Xu Dongshan has many mountains and many mountains. If they sneak up and sneak around Whale City, it will be difficult for us to find them. But in the same way, because of the many mountains and mountains, although it is easy to hide, even the official road is difficult to hide." It’s not easy to go. If you want to avoid the official road, you will travel day and night, and a quick sneak attack is almost impossible. Because Lianzhuzhai knew this, he only thought that we fell out with Jingcheng at that time, and it would take several days before we could send troops in the future. Even if we wanted to help, it was too late, so we dared to attack Jingcheng without thinking that we would have already dispatched soldiers."

Zhao Wugeng said: "In the same way, it is extremely difficult for Lianzhuzhai to avoid Jingcheng and quickly attack us. If we approach slowly, over time, we will find out how many people they are oppressing Jingcheng, so we can judge Make out their battle plan and make their surprise attack ineffective."

Everyone looked at Liu Sang and felt that his speculation this time was a bit wrong.

Liu Sang flicked on the map.Said: "If they go this way, so what?"

Xia Yingchen was astonished: "Zhijiang? But Zhijiang is already outside Xu Dong, and it is the sphere of influence of the Chu Clan. If Lianzhuzhai wants to bypass Jingcheng by this road and attack us, the road is easy. But Even more distant, unless there is a building boat to help them go down the Zhijiang River, then the Chu Clan must help, but Chu Yugong, the leader of the Chu Clan... huh."

Liu Sang smiled and said, "Chu Yugong's daughter-in-law is one of Zhiyugong's daughters."

Xia Yingchen pondered and said: "It is very normal for such a powerful family to marry a prince. The Chu Clan has not yet stated their position in this chaos. It is impossible to be sure that they are real. Secretly throwing himself at Zhiyugong, and colluding with Lianzhuzhai."

Liu Sang shrugged: "Yes or no, we will soon know that Zhijiang is very close to Qingqiu. I have asked Princess Cui'er to help us contact Qingqiu, and let the Qingqiu Fox Clan help us monitor Zhijiang. Although Wars like this. The Fox clan is not very willing to participate, but Qingqiu and us have great common interests in business. If we collapse, Qingqiu will lose a lot. We are not asking them to help fight the war. This point A little favor and they will still help."

Xia Yingchen said: "Although I'm not sure whether Lianzhuzhai will really sneak attack from the direction of Zhijiang. But since there is a possibility, we need to make preparations in advance to prevent problems before they happen."

"Hezhou is composed of Qingzhou and Xuzhou in Yugong Kyushu. Qingzhou is in the north and Xuzhou is in the south. However, when Baifeng Kingdom was founded, because someone saw Baifeng singing in Yushan, for the sake of auspiciousness, the names of each city and mountain were changed. It is mostly related to trees and birds. Outside Hezhou Capital City, there are four towns and eighteen roads. The Yushan Mountains span across Xudong, Xunan and other roads, stretching for thousands of miles. The Ningyun City that the lady is going to is near Xudong Road. In the sea, there is Mount Yu in the north of Ningyun City, and Zhijiang in the south. When the Eighteenth Road was divided, although the eastern part of Xuzhou was nominally merged into one piece, because Mount Yu was considered to be the location of the dragon veins of the Baifeng Kingdom and belonged to the imperial court, it was not here. Among the four towns and eighteen roads, Zhijiang at the southern end of Xudong Road..." Sun San read the collected materials by the side of the sedan chair.

Sitting on the sedan chair was a blind girl who was blind in both eyes. The girl looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, even her eyes were blind. A group of sturdy subordinates only dared to carry the sedan chair honestly, nodding and bowing all the way, serving thoughtfully, not daring to offend in the slightest.

The girl was sitting on the big sedan chair, cutting fruit. She put the oranges and pears found by these guys in front of her, slowly peeled and removed the core with a knife, chopped them on a plate, and made juice.

Although she couldn't see it with her eyes, she did it in an orderly manner. She was clearly doing something at hand, but her expression looked very boring.

Sun San read with a bitter face... Was she listening?

At the same time, he quietly looked at one of the oranges in front of the girl, and exchanged knowing glances with his two elder brothers.

They have already poisoned that orange, as long as the girl mixes it into juice...

The three Chaotic Ax brothers smiled yinyin.

Unexpectedly, after a few laps, the girl cut up all the fruits, except for the orange.She slowly removed the dregs with a bamboo sieve, and drank slowly. The beautiful clothes and the graceful movements of a princess seemed so weird in this wild place and a group of vicious bandits.

The three Luan Ax brothers looked at each other, could it be that this dead girl has already discovered that they poisoned that orange?But this should be impossible. They found a perfect opportunity to secretly poison her behind her back, and there was no reason why they would be discovered.

But the girl didn't even move it from the beginning to the end.

The three brothers were all helpless, so they had no choice but to continue to carry her on the road.It's just that the first plan failed, and a second plan was made. Anyway, this girl was blind and didn't know the way. They quietly changed their route and came to the foot of a mountain. Rushing out of the forest, the three Luanaxe brothers threw down the sedan chair, and together with these people, surrounded the girl.

The leader was a ferocious old woman, who gave the three brothers a hard look: "Such a little girl, why did you make you look like this? Why did my mother give birth to you three useless sons? If I had known, I would have killed you." You stuff it back in your stomach."

This old woman is the head of the mountain's thieves, nicknamed "Mother Praying Mantis". Not only is she good at wielding double knives, but she also likes to capture handsome men and kill them with knives. She has three sons, each of whose biological fathers Are not the same.As for how many husbands and face heads she has had, she can't remember clearly.Of course, there can be so many husbands.Not because of how good-looking she was, but because those men had to choose between marrying and dying, and of course some would rather die than be her husband.For this kind of man, she cut off his lifeblood, making them die even if they wanted to.

"Mother Praying Mantis" was very upset. Her three sons quietly sent someone for help. She guarded here, thinking that she was going to deal with some powerful person, but she didn't expect it to be such a little girl. It was a waste of her time. "Mother Praying Mantis" roared: "Chop up this girl to my old lady."

Dozens of thieves rushed forward, although it was only a little girl, and she was quite a cute little girl.But the old woman has orders, and they dare not disobey. They don't want to be the male mantis under the female mantis.

The little girl drank the juice slowly, pulled out the spirit flag on her waist, and unfurled it a few times.

Early the next morning.The sedan chair was replaced by a carriage, and it was an old woman and three big men kneeling on the ground pulling the cart like donkeys, and a large group of men followed tremblingly. The old woman wept while pulling the cart: "You three idiots, what are you doing?" Bringing such a disaster to the old lady's village, if I knew it, I would have stuffed you back in my stomach."

The three Luan Fu brothers cried: "Mother, you don't need to say anything, we can't wait to go back to your belly."

In the carriage, the little girl is drinking fruit juice slowly... How superficial!

Ningyun City, in the Palace of Discussion.

Xia Yingchen said: "Cui'er brought news that a large number of large boats were found going down the Zhijiang River. This kind of large boat is slightly smaller than the ones we have built recently, but each can hold 1000 yuan. From [-] to [-] people, there are a dozen ships, and it can be judged that the force is about [-]."

Zhao Wugeng, Wu Yigang, and several other generals looked at Liu Sang at the same time, all in disbelief... He was really guessed right?

Even Xia Zhaowu looked at her brother-in-law with wide eyes, and felt that her brother-in-law was too amazing.

Xia Yingchen said: "Lianzhuzhai itself does not rely on the big river or the sea. It is absolutely impossible to build so many buildings and boats. Even we have been rushing to make them in the past half a year, and we have Xiaomei to help design and follow the ancestors. The large number of shipbuilders who moved to the island have only completed four ships so far, so we can be sure that the Chu Clan has long turned to Zhiyugong, and together with Zhiyugong, they are behind Lianzhuzhai."

A general said: "Let the old General Huang come back now, just in time to block the enemy..."

But Liu Sang said: "No! The old general rushed back, and Lianyunzhai will find out that we have withdrawn troops. He will probably know that we have seen through their plan and give up their surprise attack plan."

Xia Yingchen said: "But our main force has already gone to support Whale City, and now the city can only send about 5000 troops. Even if we notify Qingmu City immediately and the two cities join forces, we can only gather [-] people, which cannot be stopped at all." enemy."

Liu Sang said: "If you can't guess their plan in advance and are suddenly attacked by them, then naturally you will not be able to survive. Now that you know their strength and route, why should you be afraid of them? They are stronger and have more troops, but Weaknesses are also evident."

Xia Yingchen said: "What weakness?"

Liu Sang said: "Time, since it is a surprise attack, it is natural to hurry up, don't attack us in one fell swoop before we react, so they must rush day and night."

Zhao Wugeng sneered and said, "But if that's the case, they won't have time to send spies to investigate the dangerous places along the way."

Liu Sang said with a smile: "On the Zhijiang River, it is the territory of the Chu Clan. Once we leave Zhijiang, it will be our territory. So let's keep quiet and not let them know that we have seen through their plan, and wait until they leave Zhijiang , rushing here, for them, they are already on the brink of death, and they will never succeed, this is our chance."

After a discussion, everyone nodded again and again.

After the meeting was over, Liu Sang and Xia Yingchen walked together and said in a low voice: "Lady, be careful these few days. If they send assassins, they should do so in the next few days. Because Lianyunzhai attacked Jingcheng, there have been some A lot of refugees are pouring in, and the assassin is likely to be hiding among these people."

Xia Yingchen nodded slightly.

Suddenly, there was a fire in the distance, and Daiyu said: "The sky is dry and the things are dry. Could it be that the water has disappeared?"

Liu Sang looked again, and found that there were more than one place where the fire was shining, so he quickly asked Xia Xia and the four waiters to stay here, don't run around, and hurried to the outside of the mansion, the soldiers in the city were already fighting the fire.Seeing the flames everywhere, he was startled: "Several places are on fire at the same time, someone must have set the fire on purpose. It seems that the assassin has arrived, deliberately messing up the city, looking for an opportunity to assassinate the lady."

Going to a high place and quickly scanning the inside of the mansion, several big kites descended from the sky towards the mansion, followed by roars and chaos.
