"Lord Luzhu! News from Wushen Mansion, Master Zhan was killed by Chi Guang in a sneak attack, and the army was defeated!"
Bai Feng was stunned when he heard the military information from Mu Xiao. He looked at him for a while and then asked: "Is what you said true?"
"Yes, Fei Yu, the right envoy of Chiguang Island, pretended to surrender. When he was surrendering, he attacked Palace Master Zhan. Palace Master Zhan was killed on the spot. Later, spies mixed in with the army blew up many war boats, and they were ambushed early in the morning. Hai Tongtian led two thousand war boats to follow, and cooperated with the defenders of Chiguang City inside and outside. Our army of more than five thousand war boats was defeated. In the end, under the leadership of Lord Ningchuan, only more than a thousand war boats fought out. He took a bloody road and escaped." Mu Xiao said in detail.
"How is this possible? Our people in Wushen Mansion are always watching the movements. Where are the two thousand war boats? Where did they come from? So many islands were captured before and so much wasted. Where did they come from?" Bai Feng heard this. , roared and questioned.
"I don't know! But... but..."
"But what?" Bai Feng asked.
"But my subordinates contacted Ran Zizai, the master of Yichou Mansion, and he didn't reply!" Mu Xiao said.
When Bai Feng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized what he was talking about: "You mean, we were tricked by Chen Lu, and Ran Zizai defected to Chen Lu?"
"I'm afraid so, otherwise how could it be possible that so many of your war ships would be used by the enemy all of a sudden in early summer, and there are at least tens of millions of beast slaves operating the war ships. Apart from Chen Lu's help, I can't think of anything else!" Mu Xiao also looked helpless. .
"Okay, that's great. Yuan Gang is really capable, even trying to trick me!" Bai Feng was so angry that he laughed.
"Road Master, what should we do next?" Mu Xiao asked.
"How's it going over there at Shui Linglong?" Bai Feng asked.
"On Palace Master Shui's side, there were no accidents in the steady defeat, but she received the news earlier than us and hoped to retreat and give up this operation." Mu Xiao said.
After Bai Feng heard this, he did not agree immediately. Instead, he pondered deeply. After a long time, he said: "Stop attacking, but do not give up the occupied areas, and station and build fortifications on the spot!"
"What about us?"
"We have gone too deep. This is not a good sign. Push out immediately and station yourself on the island next to Dingmao Mansion!" Bai Feng ordered.
"Yes!" Mu Xiao agreed immediately.
"Wait a minute, be careful when retreating, don't fall into the siege of Jinshanhai, and then notify the leaders of each government to come over to discuss matters." After Bai Feng stopped, he added something.
"Yes!" Mu Xiao handed the battle report to Bai Feng, who immediately started reading it.

In the main palace of Chenlu Road, a man in a golden mask stood respectfully, "Madam, Zhan Baishan died in the battle, and the Bai Feng army has retreated!"
Hei Ying looked at the battle report sent, and a trace of contempt flashed at the corner of her mouth: "If you retreat, just retreat. It is better this way. The road is messed up, which is more beneficial to us. Bai Feng can be regarded as a warrior, but he is He is not a commander-in-chief, and as a road leader over the years, he has gradually lost the bravery he once had. Even if Bai Feng still has some advantages, the current Bai Feng is nothing to worry about."
"Where is Jinshanhai and Haitongtian?" the golden masked man asked.
"We gave them five thousand large and small war boats, which is enough for them to squander. It is not good to give too much. It will put them at a disadvantage, but can they withstand Bai Feng? And after this time, Zilu will definitely be in chaos. We can't let them get bigger, and the supplies will be given as planned before." Hei Ying ordered.
"Yes!" The golden masked man agreed immediately.

In Renyin Mansion, Lin Haoming summoned all his cronies, and the battle report he received was circulated to everyone.
After reading it, Yinsha was the first to speak: "Sir, the road master has retreated. Although he still occupies some territory, everyone can see that it is impossible to win it in one fell swoop. He is just trying to maintain a certain face!"
"The journey is difficult!" Ma Zhankong sighed.
Lin Haoming glanced at him and naturally knew what he meant by being difficult.
"Master of the palace, what do you think we should do next?" Fang Heisha asked very bachelorly.
Although everyone knew that he was a bastard, Fang Heisha now obeyed Lin Hao's words and acted like a confidant, and what he said was exactly what everyone was thinking.
"Based on the strength of our government, it is a bit weak. I guessed what happened this time correctly. Someone on Chen Road should have planned it, but the road owner was caught in the attack. And in the current situation, the other party should have just wanted to cause chaos here in Zilu, and As far as I know, on Chen Road, there are many conflicts between the road owner Yuan Gang and his relatives. Logically speaking, this should not be the case. It seems that something has happened on Chen Road, but at the moment, he should be worried about his own problems and is unable to expand. That's why Zilu was confused." Lin Haoming speculated.
"But the key point is that more people from Jinshanhai and Haitongtian are likely to appear in the future. Taoaxe next door can digest the two mansions that he swallowed in at most three hundred years. By then, if he doesn't hit us, he will also attack us. What should we do if we expand to other places?" Ma Zhankong was a little worried.
"At the moment, we are not moving within the mansion, and we will wait and see what happens." Lin Haoming said.
"Such civil strife has happened before. If it cannot calm down within a hundred or two hundred years, it will be a reason to come and transfer people. Maybe Bai Feng will be replaced by Zizhen." Yinsha said in a deep voice.
Lin Haoming also nodded silently, and he suspected that Zizhen might also have acquiesced in seeing Zilu's situation become like this.
"What will we do if Master Bai is transferred away in the end? Master, you are your son-in-law for free!" Ma Zhankong reminded.
"Yes, if the time comes, others besiege us, and we will only have one house, how can we resist it?" Fang Heisha also realized that, and asked worriedly.
Lin Haoming waved his hand and said, "You don't need to worry about this matter, as long as things don't get too bad, it will be fine. In addition to Taoxu's territory and Ye Hongye's territory, we are only bordered by Jiayin Mansion. Qingrong, the master of the Yin Mansion, cannot fully open the Jiayin Mansion. Over the years, several island owners who have gone to the island have been violating him."
"Is the palace planning to take action against the Jiayin Palace?" Fang Heisha rubbed his hands and asked.
"We'll keep an eye on it for the time being. We have to make some preparations. Right Commander Ma, when you let Ma Yue run away from business, send someone over to infiltrate and see if you can win over one or two island owners, and even promise them some high positions. ." Lin Haoming said.
"Isn't this a bit overstepping one's authority?" Ma Zhankong frowned.
"Haha, I am the son-in-law of the road master. There is no need to be afraid. Don't make any other moves. We will wait and see what happens. We will accumulate more strength. As for any news that spreads, we will blame it on Bai Feng!" Lin Haoming! Directly.
"Will Bai Feng be obedient?" Ma Zhankong asked worriedly.
"I'm still somewhat sure about this, just follow the instructions!" Lin Haoming affirmed.
"Yes!" Seeing Lin Haoming come to a conclusion, everyone could only do this.
