After Bain left the Imperial Capital, he was busy running around various cities in Beiming, asking the garrison in each area to do their best, setting up defenses along the road, and obstructing them at all levels to delay the coalition forces' approach to the Imperial Capital. Although every time they lost troops and generals, they did delay the army many ways.
Three days have passed, and only three armies have reached the neighboring city of the imperial capital, while the rest of the armies have experienced varying degrees of delays.
On the other side, late at night, Xia Long suddenly appeared at the south gate of Shanyin City.
Because of Xia Long's special status, the guards directly called Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng and Su Kouye were surprised to know that Xia Long was coming. Because Xia Long, as the leader of the army along the way, logically should go to the imperial capital, why would he come to Shanyin City alone.
Jiang Feng and Su Kouye used the super high speed directly, and within a minute, they arrived at the south gate.
After opening the city gate, Jiang Feng met Xia Long. Xia Long looked sad and obviously had something on his mind.
"What happened?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Mr. Kong is missing."
"What did you say?" Jiang Feng was extremely surprised.
"Missing. There's been no news from him for a month."
"Come in and talk slowly."
Jiang Feng and Su Kouye took Xia Long to an office building near the city wall. Xia Long sat on the sofa, feeling restless.
"When did this happen?" Jiang Feng asked.
"Mr. Kong has always been elusive, so it is normal not to see him for half a month or a month. However, I got the news yesterday that all the presidents of the Cross Chamber of Commerce have never seen Mr. Kong, even Sitao I didn’t see Feng either, so I can be sure that Mr. Kong is missing.”
"If Si Taofeng didn't see him either, then it's a sure thing. But why did Mr. Kong disappear?" Jiang Feng felt very puzzling for a moment.
"No one knows this. I have no intention of participating in your affairs now. I request to withdraw." Xia Long replied.
Xia Long's news was a bolt from the blue for Jiang Feng and Su Kouye. Mr. Kong’s matter must be investigated. But if Xia Long withdraws at this juncture, it will indeed be a big loss for Jiang Zhi's forces.
"So, who is leading the 8th Army now?" Su Kouye asked.
"I temporarily let Siloy lead the army, but now
The army was ambushed in Huaiyuan City, and 50,000 troops were surrounded in Fengming Mountain in Huaiyuan City. The zombies did not dare to forcefully attack the mountain, and in order to avoid causing greater casualties, we did not forcefully break through. We have built defenses in Fengming Mountain, and those zombies don't dare to act rashly. "
"You mean, the 8th Army in Fengming Mountain is currently in a stalemate with the zombie army?" Su Kouye asked.
"Exactly, now the army has relatively abundant supplies. Even if it is trapped in the mountains, it can last for more than half a month, so Silroy and I don't know what to do for the time being. This time, I will report the situation to you on the one hand, and on the other hand On the one hand, I hope you will send better generals to lead the 8th Route Army." Xia Long replied.
Jiang Feng and Su Kouye looked at each other, frowning.
"It seems that the morale of the zombies is still strong. They are doing their best to delay and hinder the gathering of armies in the imperial capital." Su Kouye said worriedly.
Jiang Feng did not speak. His heart was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he was very anxious about the current war, and on the other hand, he was very worried about Mr. Kong.
According to time estimates, Mr. Kong has been missing for more than a month. More than a month ago, Jiang Feng met Mr. Kong. At that time, the matter of Bai Shui Lan was discussed.
Could it be that Mr. Kong returned to the underground to investigate the matter of the light insect, but why hasn't he returned to the surface for so long? Did something happen? Considering the advanced magic civilization in the underground world, it cannot be ruled out that there are people more powerful than Mr. Kong in the underground world.
Currently, the underground world and the surface world are still in a state of isolation, and only Mr. Kong can travel between the two worlds. Will the disappearance of Mr. Kong this time expose the passage between the two worlds early?
Thinking of this, Jiang Feng's brows suddenly furrowed.
"Hey, Jiang Feng, what are you thinking about? What should we do now?" Su Kou asked urgently.
Jiang Feng couldn't tell anyone about Jiang Feng's anxiety and worries now, especially Xia Long. Now Jiang Feng can only solve the Beiming War issue first.
"Xia Long, you and I both know how powerful Mr. Kong is. It's too early to say that Mr. Kong is missing now. I suggest you not to quit yet. After the imperial capital is captured and the zombies are driven away, if Mr. Kong doesn't If you show up, I will use all the manpower and material resources of the entire force to assist you in investigating Mr. Kong’s whereabouts.”
"Capture the Imperial Capital? How long will it take? And?
And our Cross Chamber of Commerce has no obligation to help you. You must understand that Silroy and I have violated the rules of the Cross Chamber of Commerce by assisting you this time. "
"You and Sloy are only helping me in their own name and have not used any members or resources of the Chamber of Commerce, so it does not conflict with the rules of the Chamber of Commerce. What I mean is that since you have agreed to help at that time, I hope you can start and finish."
"Jiang Feng, don't go too far. Who knows how long a war will last? How can this matter have an end? The Cross Chamber of Commerce is in crisis now, and I must return to the headquarters now. In addition, Siloy won't stay too long. You should find a replacement general as soon as possible and go to Huaiyuan City." Xia Long stood up after finishing speaking, as if he was planning to leave.
"You really just left like that?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I'm sorry, I really can't help it." After Xia Long finished speaking, he rushed out the door.
After Xia Long left, Jiang Feng and Su Kouye looked at each other for a few seconds, sighing and expressing their helplessness.
Jiang Feng called the guard captain at the city gate and ordered: "If Xia Long wants to leave, don't stop him."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Feng sat on the sofa and sighed: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen at this juncture."
"What do you think of Mr. Kong's disappearance?" Su Kouye asked.
"There is no one or thing in the surface world that can threaten or control Mr. Kong, so this matter must be related to the underground world." Jiang Feng replied.
"People from the Cross Chamber of Commerce don't know about the underground world yet, so they can't find any results no matter how much they check. How about revealing some information to Xia Long, so that he can understand, and maybe he will continue to help us fight against the imperial capital."
"No, Mr. Kong naturally has his own reasons for concealing the truth. Now we are not sure what happened to Mr. Kong, so we cannot rush to reveal this secret."
"So who should lead the 8th Route Army now?"
"I don't know either." Jiang Feng also fell into deep thought.
"Would you like Mou Jiren or Fan Qian to come over?"
"The two of them can't leave Wangcheng, otherwise I won't worry."
"Who else could it be?"
"Otherwise, we can only let her give it a try." Jiang Feng looked at Su Kouye.
"who?"
"Our apprentice."
