Zhang Yan received two deeds from the Imperial Household Office. One is the ownership document of a medium-sized gem mine. There is also a land deed for the cliff mountain in Changhu County and the surrounding area of more than 30 miles.
These two deeds are Zhang Yan's reward this time. In other words, hard work fee.
It is also difficult for the emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom. The things generally given to ministers are not suitable for dealing with Zhang Yan. money? Zhang Yan has no shortage at all. He can make his country as rich as an enemy just by forging soldiers. The only "long-life stone" that Zhang Yan cared about and was only known to for the time being was exchanged last time. This time Yang Sheng directly took out a high-yield stone mine from the royal family and handed it to Zhang Yan.
As for the land deed for the cliff mountain and the dozens of miles around it, this can be regarded as a gap left by Yang Sheng before he agreed with Zhang Yan. Because Zhang Yan once said that if he had the opportunity in the future, he would choose a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters in Nanyuan Kingdom as the location of his mountain gate. Yang Sheng didn't need to wait for Zhang Yan this time and just gave it to him directly.
When he got the two deeds, Zhang Yan smiled and didn't refuse, but he didn't say much. Because he knows that for Nanyuan Kingdom, as long as it can cope with the crisis of the Demon Spirit Tribe, no matter how high the price is, it can be tolerated. What's more, it's just a mine and a wild mountain. The key point is that they cannot be moved away from Nanyuan Kingdom. As long as Zhang Yan accepts it, he will be tied to Nanyuan Kingdom and inseparable.
In fact, Zhang Yan had been making preparations since their first meeting with Shen Wujiu. He did not deliberately wait for the response from the Emperor of Nanyuan Kingdom, let alone receive the reward. Because for ghosts, they themselves are Zhang Yan's best reward, but the award is given to the world of Desolate Sky Territory.
Therefore, Zhang Yan does not need anyone to urge him, he will behave actively himself. For example, in this period of almost half a month, he gave Shen Wujiu a total of thirty ghost-catching bells, and these ghost-catching bells were all specially adjusted for the demon spirit tribe.
And Zhang Yan also promised Shen Wujiu that he would try to deliver a ghost-catching bell to the special company every day in the next month.
In addition, after Shen Wujiu received Feiyu's order from Yuanding Imperial City to "agree to the plan", Zhang Yan also started the first step of the plan: once again deploying the Twelve Heavenly Gang Formation to block the door.
Zhang Yan first took back the Tiangang Pillars of the large formations that had been laid out before. This saved him a lot of refining time.
The order of blocking this time is different from the previous ones. The dead roads in the north and east of Nanyuan Kingdom and the central area are blocked first. Of course, it is the kind of dead silence that cannot move its position. The Dead Silence Road, which is close to Xiyuan County and Chonglan County where Yubei Mountain Fortress is located, was deliberately left behind.

As for those movable entrances and exits of the Dead Silence Road, Zhang Yan's approach was to follow them and snipe them in the same way that the Special Operations Department and the demon species would target them together.
In this way, if everything goes well, a situation will be formed: except for the Dead Silence Road near Chonglan County and Xiyuan County, other Death Silence Roads, whether they are fixed ones or movable ones, will be affected. A strong block or simply being blocked and unable to get out. Then the Dead Silence Road around Chonglan County and Xiyuan County will naturally become the main entrance and exit for the Demon Spirit Clan to come to Nanyuan Kingdom. After all, they will not be sniped when entering and exiting here, and the losses will be much smaller.
Chonglan County and Xiyuan County are becoming more and more anxious due to the current war, and the local people have long been evacuated to the following counties and cities by the local government in a planned way. Especially in Xiyuan County, which is surrounded by dangers all year round, the military garrison there is not only a defense force but also the main force in growing grain. And those farmers who came for high wages should have fled as soon as the war started. Therefore, compared to other counties, the number of ordinary people in Chonglan County and Xiyuan County is definitely very small.
Furthermore, in the confrontation between Nanyuan Kingdom and the Monster Clan, Nanyuan Kingdom has always been in a passive defense situation. The only ones that could be called proactive engagements were the two small-scale collisions between Song Qinghe and two Demon Kingdom clans using the Bagua array on Yubei Mountain Fortress. Most of the time, the defense line is reduced and the forces are concentrated to defend the key front. For example, this is the case with the Yubei Mountain Fortress and the Baishi City military garrison line in Xiyuan County.
In such a large county, tens of thousands of people are concentrated, and it is difficult to find people in other places, which reduces the loss of men and horses. At the same time, it also gave the demon spirit clan a huge scope to explore these two counties.
Finally, here comes the exciting part.
If you see the demon clan without seeing anyone, how will the demon spirit clan react?
The answer can be found in the memory of Zhang Yan's spirit-stealing demon spirit general: I am also unlucky to be sent to a hunting ground like the human race. It would take three or five souls to swallow to be worth one in the Demon Kingdom. Tsk tsk, if it wasn’t easy to succeed here, wouldn’t it be a loss?
In the eyes of the Demon Spirit Clan, the raw souls of the Demon Clan are just braised chicken legs, while the meat of the Human Clan's raw souls is no more than a chicken paw or a chicken neck, so the Demon Spirit Clan would naturally prefer to eat more meat.
This is what Zhang Yan said to Shen Wujiu as "the pull of troubled waters". It's like digging a small ditch next to a pool. As long as the terrain is suitable, the ditch can lead all the water in the pool to other places.
The logic of this plan is quite clear, and it is what the commander-in-chief of the Western Army said is "feasible." But the premise is how to achieve accurate sniping on those dead roads that can move their positions. This is the most critical point. If it does not work, even if Xiyuan County and Chonglan County can attract a large number of demon spirits, the rear area of Nanyuan Kingdom will still be turned into a piece of red earth by the rampant demon spirits. .
Zhang Yan's method to deal with this critical point is also very simple. Just like when he obtained first-hand information about the Demon Spirit Clan, he just used the "soul-stealing" torture that had its first effect. Being able to move the location does not mean that it is constantly moving all the time, but that it will exist in one place for a few days or longer, and then change places. Wherever there is that kind of moving Dead Silence Road, you can roughly determine the position by targeting the fixed Death Silence Road, and then snipe.
Start to set up a large formation, first of all, block the fixed dead road in Beijiang County as the first target. The situation was similar to when Zhang Yan blocked the Dead Silence Road of the Human Spirit Clan before. There will also be a large number of ghosts gathering at the entrance and exit of the Deadly Path. It's just that the overall strength is not as powerful as before. The ghost king has not been seen, and the most powerful one is only the ghost general. Zhang Yan knew that this was because the "Great Sage King's Banquet" in the ghost realm had already been held. Neither the demon spirit tribe nor the human spirit tribe had any urgent need for souls in the short term. Ghost king-level ghosts would naturally not always go to the earth. .
Although it is not as good as before, it still brings a lot of merit and spiritual energy to Zhang Yan. Coupled with the targeted sniping, a large number of ghost-catching bells were used, so Zhang Yan's harvest was no less than the last time. Even because of the continuity, the gains are even greater.
PS: I also have to go to the hospital for physical therapy in the morning, and there is another chapter to be completed in the afternoon. Normal updates will resume tomorrow.
