Xiao Jingyun bowed again, "Returning to my father, I think this is what I should do. The country is facing a crisis, and everyone should be loyal to the country."
Xiao An shook his head slightly, "No, no, that's wrong."
"Since Liu Rumei gave you this formation, don't let him come out again."
"As long as we hold Wannian City for three months and wait for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive, the Great Earth Kingdom will be defeated."
"It's still the same thing. I'll leave this favor to you."
Of course Jamel Xiao knew that his father had good intentions, "But..."
He looked like he was hesitating to speak. If he couldn't defend Wannian City, wouldn't it mean that the country would be destroyed?
However, Xiao An looked at Xiao Jamgyun, with a look of relief on his face.
"Didn't the dragon veins on Qingniu Mountain remain unscathed? Didn't Zhu Meng stay there for so long and there was no damage?"
"Your grandfather told me when I was very young that by guarding the dragon's veins, our Xiao family will be able to secure its position."
"When you said Zhu Meng was trapped in Qingniu Mountain, I was always worried that he would attack Dragon Vein!"
"Fortunately, we caught Sun Yuliang in time, and Zhu Meng turned his back on the enemy, so he didn't do anything that would outrage both humans and gods!"
Well, having said that, Jamel Xiao can't continue talking any more. Since his father's will has been made up, he can only take one step at a time.
"Father, our army marched in a hurry all night. We just came back and are very tired. In order to speed up the march, we did not bring too much supplies in the end. Please arrange for someone to allocate supplies and send them out as soon as possible."
Xiao An nodded and looked at Bai Han next to him, "Okay, go make arrangements and send some food to the army first."
Bai Han bowed and stepped out, and Xiao Jingyun also stepped out later.
Xiao Jingyun didn't even have time to return to his palace, so he hurried out of the city again.
At this time, Xiao An was sitting at his desk, lost in thought.
When Xiao Shunzi, the personal eunuch, saw this, of course he understood that Xiao An was also a human being and he also had emotions and desires.
At this time, Emperor Xiao An certainly felt guilty towards the Liu family.
But in order for his son to be able to secure his position, Xiao An had to do the same.
But Xiao Shunzi also understood that if he didn't do something, the emperor would be uneasy.
He rolled his eyes and had an idea. He came forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, this old slave has something to say. I don't know whether to say it or not."
Xiao An raised his eyes and looked at him, "Okay, if you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to be secretive."
"Your Majesty, Xiangguo Temple is only over fifty miles away from Wannian City."
"Zhu Meng knows the importance of this temple in our Dacang Kingdom. If the Datu Kingdom really sends troops to besiege the city, it's hard to say whether Zhu Meng will attack Xiangguo Temple."
After listening to Xiao Shunzi's words, Xiao An couldn't help but smile. He raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Shunzi. Obviously Xiao Shunzi's idea made him very comfortable.
"Well, that makes sense. If they do anything detrimental to Xiangguo Temple, it may shake the morale of the military."
"In this case, you can set off immediately and go to Xiangguo Temple in person, and bring all the monks in the temple into the city for proper placement."
At this time, two hundred miles away, at the cross slope, just as Mr. Liu expected, the Tuguo military camp was quiet today, and no one came out to challenge.
Prince Jonah called Zhu Meng over to discuss countermeasures.
"Didn't you say that Du Bai was in Jizhou? Why did he come here all of a sudden?"
Zhu Meng also looked helpless, "Your Highness, although Xiao Jingyun lost consecutive battles, he retreated slowly, so he bought Du Bai time."
Prince Jonah looked at him and said, "Then what should we do now? We can't defeat us. Two of my most elite generals were killed by Du Bai's gun. How about you try again?"
Zhu Meng had a bitter look on his face when he heard this, "Your Highness, to be honest, I am indeed no match for Du Bai. If I go out, I will only end up with another head."
After hearing this, Prince Jonah let out a long sigh.
"We have penetrated thousands of miles into Dacang Country, are we going to come back empty-handed like this?"
Zhu Meng clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to be so depressed. I know there is a way to bypass the crossroads ahead, but it will take an extra five to six hundred miles, or at least three days."
After hearing this, Prince Jonah actually smiled.
"As long as we can get around the cross slope, it can take five days, not to mention three days."
Zhu Meng immediately stepped forward and marked the route with a pen on the map in front of Jonah.
"We only need to walk from here. There is a small road that bypasses Lion Slope and goes straight to the south gate of Wannian City."
Prince Jonah smiled slightly and said, "Tomorrow I will leave ten thousand soldiers and horses in the military camp to bluff so that the enemy will not notice."
After saying that, he looked at Zhu Meng and both of them laughed.
At this time, thousands of miles away, there was another busy scene in Hetou Village.
This day is Chen Xiaowen’s wedding day. The cabbages in Chen Xiaobei's vegetable field have basically been harvested, so more people can come and help.
The four acres of land became very lively. Cui Hongyu, Qiu Mei and others were flying with pots and shovels on the ground, and it suddenly felt like running water.
Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to think about some leisure and returned to his home. Since returning from Wannian City, he has been busy every day and has not had a good rest for a long time.
Chen Xiaowei locked himself in the old house behind his back. I started to look around and found that several big snakes in the big tank had entered hibernation. The pheasants still scared my aunt and ran away when they saw me. However, the two puppies could wag their tails and stopped barking.
What made Chen Xiaobei even more delighted was that the little wolf, obviously after so long, had lost a lot of ambition. When he saw Chen Xiaobei coming, he didn't make the usual low roar. , but looked up at Chen Xiaobei, neither expressing any affection nor malice.
This is a rare thing for a wolf, and Chen Xiaobei is of course very happy.
He tried to walk forward, squatted down, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little wolf's spine a few times, but the little wolf leaned in front of him, and even arched his back and rubbed his arm.
Chen Xiaobei was even happier now. This showed that the wild nature of this wolf had been tamed a lot. This might not be a bad idea. If he encounters a little wolf in the future, he might use the same method to treat him.
As long as he holds it back for a few months, the wolf's ambition will be worn away a lot.
After Chen Xiaobei played with Little Wolf for a while, he stood up and returned to his old house. Then he checked the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum he planted one by one under the light.
Cui Hongyu took good care of these little creatures and even lit a charcoal stove in the house. Although the charcoal was not burning very brightly, there was a warm feeling as soon as you entered the house.
At this moment, two puppies suddenly roared low at the door, and then someone knocked lightly on the door.
Soon, Liu Rumei's voice came over, "Brother Xiaobei, are you in there?"
When he heard it was Liu Rumei, Chen Xiaobei quickly agreed loudly, "Rumei, I'm here."
