Bailang received the news from Daomen Village in Ma Sheng Alley.
The weird group of thieves in Daomen Village naturally took the bait. The temptation of ordnance and rations really made these people unable to remain calm.
The people from Daomen Village approached Qiu Chongxi and expressed their thoughts, hoping that Qiu Chongxi could tell the "big boss" behind them. And what they are looking for is exactly the "bait" thrown out by Bailang: ordnance.
In Qiu Chongxi's words, "The people in Daomen Village are already jealous. They hope to buy some ordnance from the boss. The larger the quantity, the better, and the price is easier to negotiate. But the tone is not good, and it seems to be a test and threat."
The news reached Yang Xiu and then passed to Bai Lang.
"Hahaha, threat? What does Yang Hongdao think of the threat from these people in Daomen Village?" Bai Lang put down the message in his hand, leaned back in his chair, and asked Yang Xiu, who was standing at the bottom, with a smile.
Yang Xiu was also laughing, and followed Bai Lang's words and replied: "Zu Dao, those thieves must have been imprisoned in the mountains to make themselves stupid. They actually want to threaten us. They simply don't know how to write the word "death".
"It is indeed a bit overwhelming. But from their point of view, even if they know that we are not easy to mess with, they still have methods to force us. After all, it is no better than before. The war outside is tense, and except for the front line, the garrison defenses are tightened. How can they have the energy to deal with a small village like theirs? So they are confident!
Moreover, the territory is still their territory. If they want to cause trouble for their brothers there or interfere with the transportation of goods later, it will be really hard to say.
So we can laugh at the threats made by these thieves, but we cannot take them seriously. And in fact, we were using those weapons to lure Daomen Village. It's a good thing they're talking now. "
"Zu Dao is right. Do you think you should send a message to Qiu Chongxi now and ask him to return the price of the elixirs for weapons to the thieves in Daomen Village?"
"Well, according to the price we calculated before, it depends on how they counter-offer. I went to Zhou Zhonghao from the City Lord's Mansion and Chen Shen from the Army to find out. Pills like Xiao Pei Yuan Dan and Zhuang Gu These are the most in-demand elixirs in the country. As long as the alchemist starts a furnace, he will generally choose to refine these two elixirs. I think the alchemist in Daomen Village is no exception.
As long as you can successfully obtain these two elixirs, your cultivation speed will be greatly accelerated. At that time, you will be able to use magic weapons when you truly enter the early stage of the Qi Entrainment Realm. In that case, there will definitely be a qualitative improvement in the power of our sword hall. "
"I would like to thank Zuodao for your kindness! I swear to follow Zuodao to the death, and I will do anything to my heart!" Yang Xiu was stupid, and he kept saying these words to express his loyalty and gratitude. But it wasn't because he was perfunctory, and it wasn't because he said these few sentences smoothly and eloquently. But that's exactly what he was thinking.
It is no longer accurate to describe Yang Xiu's friendship for Bai Lang with gratitude. It should be more appropriate to describe Yang Xiu's friendship with Bai Lang. He even knew that after being taught the Dharma by Bai Lang, he and five other equally lucky street wanderers had actually become Bai Lang's disciples.
As a disciple, it is your duty to go through fire and water.
And when Yang Xiu and others learned that Bailang had taken the risk to collect and sell weapons in order to exchange for elixirs from Daomen Village for use by their disciples, they got out of control and became even more fanatical.
Bai Lang could feel Yang Xiu's feverish emotions that were about to burst into flames. He smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We are all brothers in the knife studio, why should we be so different? Besides, if we can really get the pill, In addition to you being able to take it, I can also benefit from it. So just think of this as the new business direction of our knife shop.
During the peace years, we would work as chamber pots for the city lord's mansion, and we would do all the dirty work ourselves. There is nothing you can do about taking a bad name and taking advantage of others. Now that troubled times are coming, we must find some way to turn around, otherwise wouldn't our life be in vain? "
"Zu Dao is right! It is a blessing in this life for Yang Xiu to follow Zu Dao!"
Bailang helped Yang Xiu, who was already kneeling on his knees, up. Then he continued: "The latest military official report shows that the front line of Pengshan City may not be able to hold on. It will be time to test the Tianfeng Plain soon. I estimate that the situation in our Yongchuan City will change again. Military It is bound to increase its troops again, and it is possible that the current strength of one army will directly become the strength of two or three armies.
And since I helped Liu Jianyu gain control of the industrial park, he would probably promote the commander-in-chief of the Yongchuan City garrison on the spot, and his voice in the city would become louder. And further suppressed the power of the city lord's palace in the city.
if"
When Bai Lang said this, the smile and relaxation on his face were gone. He paused before continuing: "If the Tianfeng Plain is also lost, then the entire country will lose all barriers. The capital of Shunning will be directly destroyed by Yun. The Yan army is threatening. By that time, the situation of the country will no longer be recoverable. There will be comprehensive chaos. Anywhere can be hunted by Yun Yan, and it is almost impossible to get rescue from the country. Everyone can only do it themselves May you be blessed.
You can tell this news privately to the red knife in the knife shop. Look at their reactions. If anyone seems calm and doesn't rush you to take care of the family and the children and settle them in our retreat, that person has a problem. Remember, most of them are the spies of the City Lord's Mansion.
Of course, this is just my guess. It's also possible that there's no such thing as a stupid person who still wants to work as a chamber pot for the city lord's mansion. "
"I understand, please rest assured. I will screen you carefully."
It's not that Bai Lang is suspicious. But the official reports in the army really made him feel unsure. With only a few days to go in two months, the defense line behind Pengshanguan, known as the "Iron Bucket Formation" and "will surely withstand the barbarians for another half a year", began to be in danger.
Is this considered bragging before the war and then turning into a plague during the war?
Taking this as a lesson, can Tianfeng Plain stop the advance of Yunyan's army? Bai Lang couldn't believe it at all.
Is this because the Hong Dynasty is too weak? Or is Yunyan too strong? Or maybe both?
Therefore, Bailang is paying more and more attention to Daomen Village, and is also consciously speeding up the pace of his plans.
At this juncture, internal stability becomes particularly important. Only then did Yang Xiu take the unfavorable news of the situation to test the red knife in the knife shop.
And while Yang Xiu was spreading the news about the weapon exchange for elixirs to Daomen Village and sorting out the interior of the sword hall according to Bai Lang's instructions, the first line of defense in Pengshan City in the south began to enter a shaky stage as Bai Lang had guessed. . The entire defense line was riddled with holes by Yun Yan's army. In the end, only Pengshan City was left as a nail on the road before Yunyan's army entered Tianfeng Plain.
