The Marshal's Mansion.
A man in civilian clothes put down his wine cup and said, "Commander, your move of advancing before retreating is quite clever."
Marshal Xiahou, who was just now majestic, sighed: "I am not afraid of anyone when it comes to the battle formation, but there are too many things involved, so I have to act recklessly so that I can stay out of it."
The man in plain clothes chuckled: "The Imperial Master is known as the third wise man in the world, but this time he was tricked by the commander."
Xia Hou snorted coldly: "What a big mistake. Do you really think so?"
The man was startled: "What does the commander mean by this? Is there something hidden?"
That old fox was just cooperating with my acting. He had already considered this matter, but I just couldn't figure out how he would act. "
The man pondered for a moment and said: "The Imperial Master is a gloomy person, and his emotions and anger are inexpressible. It is indeed difficult to guess what he is thinking."
Marshal Xiahou said: "But one thing is for sure, Princess Changying must have some agenda when she hangs around that person."
The man in casual clothes said: "The second prince is not the same. This time, the two of them seem to be acting independently. It is difficult to guarantee that they are not taking the opportunity to join forces. The second prince owns the fire camp, and the princess controls the mountain camp. If they join forces, the eldest prince's advantage will be lost. Is Shuai really prepared to stay out of the matter?"
Marshal Xiahou said: "Yes, the status of the eldest prince cannot be shaken. It involves the lives of you, me and countless people. How can you stay out of it? Wang Tong, you were nominally dismissed from your position and expelled from the military camp by me. No one knows the true relationship between you and me. Keep an eye on this matter yourself, and if anything happens, act as agreed before, but remember..."
The man in civilian clothes hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Wang Tong made his own decision and has nothing to do with the commander-in-chief."
Marshal Xiahou nodded with satisfaction: "If this is done well, I will give you a thousand taels of gold to return to your homeland, and your wife and children will be reunited."
Wang Tong nodded heavily: "Thank you, Marshal!"
"Have you ever considered the biggest danger of crossing the river?"
Wei Xiaohong said while looking at the broad river in front of her.
"What are the risks of crossing the river?" Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment.
Wei Xiaohong tilted her head and looked at him: "I don't believe you can't think of it."
Jiang Fan groaned: "Yes, yes, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot, there is an old bastard in the river."
Wei Xiaohong said: "You said that Chen Laozuo is a gun maker, so he can't help himself. He may have to risk his life and risk his life. Our crossing the river is his last chance."
Jiang Fan scratched his head: "Yes, the river is his home court. There are many ways to kill us, such as knocking over our ship, bombarding it with trebuchets or heavy crossbows, and at worst, he can even drill the ship..."
Wei Xiaohong said: "Look, you don't know everything. What are you going to do now?"
Jiang Fan thought for a while and suddenly looked at Wei Xiaohong and smiled evilly, making the latter's hair stand on end.
"I said, Mr. Jiang, don't look at me like that, it's scary. Just tell me what you want to do."
"It's simple. Why don't you find someone to send a message and ask your old man to send a warship to pick us up?"
Ha ha? Wei Xiaohong was shocked by his brain circuit.
"What do you think? Threatening my father with my life?"
Jiang Fan said: "Why, your father doesn't care? It's really not possible. You have Shanzi Camp in your hands. Let them send someone to pick it up."
"Don't be stupid, there is no way my father will show up, and there are no warships in Shanziying."
Jiang Fan smiled sinisterly: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. Otherwise... if I hang you on the mast, I don't believe that the General of the King of Wei can watch you die in the hands of the Black Sail Thieves."
Wei Xiaohong simply couldn't complain. This guy had no idea about royal power, and he had no respect at all. He can definitely do this kind of thing. The sight of his own magnificent princess being hung on the mast is simply not too beautiful.
Seeing her helpless expression, Jiang Fan smiled: "So, how to cross the river is your business. Come up with an idea quickly. I am waiting for you."
Wei Xiaohong sighed: "I'm so unlucky, why did I fall into your hands? Well, you win."
The Imperial Master looked at the note in his hand, shook his head and laughed, "This fisherman is indeed very interesting. Anyway, since he doesn't want to keep a low profile, he should keep a high profile."
So, soon, a rare scene appeared on the river. A dozen huge warships inexplicably fought back and forth from the south bank to the north bank.
The people were just surprised, but Chen Laobi almost vomited blood on the river.
I worked hard to convert the two large boats into large fishing boats. I finally waited until the young man was about to board the river again, but I didn't expect that it would be like this.
Seeing Chen Laojun almost crushing the steel ball in his hand, Chen Ziqi stepped forward and said, "Father, the situation can't be done anymore. You are still seriously injured, so you should withdraw."
Chen Laobie exhaled for a long time and sighed: "I should have known that he would have a way. I didn't want to be so weird. It's hard for Wei to cooperate in crossing the river... It's really God's will..."
Chen Ziqi was silent. She was ordered to block the entrance to the first line of sky, and she luckily escaped with her life. Although she didn't know what happened, she saw with her own eyes that those masters went in and never came out. Even Chen Zihao disappeared, and finally the entire first line of sky collapsed. Among the dozens of top players on his side, only his adoptive father survived, and he was seriously injured and has not recovered yet.
At that time, she already knew clearly that the young man was definitely not something she could deal with. However, the foster father was forced again and finally decided to fight to the death. However, there are people from other forces who want to survive, and there are people who are secretly protecting him, not to mention that Xiaolang himself has unpredictable means. It is impossible to succeed on the shore, and the only chance is on the river. It's a pity that Wei Guo sent military ships to welcome the unpredictable young man ashore with great fanfare, and the plan failed completely.
What will we face next? Is that the so-called punishment behind the scenes? Judging from the performance of his adoptive father, he may have a narrow escape from death. escape? Even her adoptive father didn't dare to run away, so where could she run away to? Looking around, the world is so vast that there seems to be no place for it.
Suddenly, she felt like she was falling into a bottomless abyss.
Jian'an City is not very big, but it is very special.
The city faces the Canglan River in the north, and the east, west and south sides are all open plains. Due to this unique environment, the land around Jian'an City is fertile and has been known as the granary of the north since ancient times. Therefore, King Kai of the Northern Wei Dynasty established his capital here.
The entire city is rectangular in shape, and the city wall is built with huge rocks from Mangshan Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River. It is extremely strong. The city has eight main streets from north to south and six from east to west, which are very neat.
The city is bustling with traffic. Although it is not as special and prosperous as the Paradise City, it still shows the atmosphere that a capital city of a country should have.
After passing through Jian'an, Jiang Fan did not change the plan designed by Wei Xiaohong in terms of route. However, after the incident in Paradise City and Yixiantian, they no longer put on disguises along the way. It can be said that they went on the road openly.
In fact, if you are not afraid of traveling through mountains and rivers, Jian'an City can be bypassed. However, Mr. Jiang seems to be deliberately causing trouble and simply chooses the nearest way - passing through Jian'an City.
