"Zu Dao, a total of 19 members of Wan Dongnan's family have been placed in the townhouse next to the pier. They are all our people there and there will be no leaks. However, Wan Dongnan himself has not come over yet. It is said that he is leading some people to help Wang Lin get more spiritual stones from the secret passage, and they will not arrive until the end of this month at the earliest."
"End of the month?" Bai Lang stood in the study and listened to the report from Zhang Wu, shaking his head. Then he said: "I can't wait until the end of the month."
"Zu Dao means that Shuangqing City may not be able to survive this half month?" The main thing Zhang Wu did during this period was to follow the war in Shuangqing City with Wang Lin while rushing back from Shuangqing City. The secret passage in Wan Dongnan's hand grabbed as many spiritual stones as possible and transported them back.
Just a few days ago, the waterway between Yongchuan City and Shuangqing City was closed. Large ships have been completely banned from navigation. Medium-sized ships are also restricted to only use within the waters of Yongchuan City to connect with the north bank, rather than traveling along the river. Go down. Only a few small boats were still sailing in the darkness. This is difficult to avoid on the open river, especially for short-range local boats, and it is almost impossible to catch them.
It is these small boats that have become the only activities in the black market terminal that are currently shut down. Relying on these small boats, Bailang could have sporadic resources that fell into his hands from the direction of Shuangqing City or from Changshui upstream of Yongchuan City.
During this period, those people from Funiu Mountain who had been regarded by Bailang as another retreat for him had become Bailang's main source of resources. We spent a high price to purchase a lot of food and medicinal materials that were no longer available elsewhere. These are all smuggled in from Funiu Mountain via overseas waterways. I have to say that this group of thieves is really capable.
However, these emergency measures could not make Bailang and the others attached to the Dongcheng Knife Hall feel at ease, but instead made them more and more nervous.
The cause of all this is that Yunyan's army has no intention of crossing the river. Even if there are enough ships, they still choose to go north along the river. Now the smoke has been ignited in the nearest city in front of Shuangqing City, which is less than a hundred miles away. . If this distance were not due to the rolling low hills in front of Shuangqing City, maybe Yunyan's army would attack Shuangqing City in one go.
Moreover, it was stated in the military newspaper that although the Yunyan Barbarians penetrated deep into the Hong Dynasty, they were not without reinforcements of troops. Along the road, you can also see the military stations left by the Yunyan Barbarians. Although they were small in number, they were always endless. Not to mention It completely makes up for the consumption, but it also gives Yunyan's army a lot more confidence when they go deeper, so they don't have to worry too much about spending all the way until they are unable to catch up later.
Of course, the premise is that there is no flesh and blood mill like Pengshanguan. Otherwise, the Yunyan army goes deep alone. Once most of the active force is eliminated and cannot be replaced in time, it is not impossible for the Hong Dynasty to pursue the victory. It is also possible to collapse the army. But these are all theoretical statements. Is there a fortified city like Pengshan Pass south of Changshui, or a place that Yunyan's army must attack? No. So now there are only four words for the south of Changshui: danger.
"Yes, the situation is changing three times a day. The barbarians' army is less than a hundred miles away from Shuangqing City. With their marching speed, even if there are some hills blocking it, they can reach Shuangqing City in just three days. Moreover, they are facing the Hong Dynasty It can be said that the terrain of various places in the country is well understood. Every invasion will have the terrain map improved. Naturally, it is natural that he knows the Lingshi mine in Shuangqing City.
Tell me, if you were the leader of Yunyan's main force, would you let Shuangqing City have this piece of fat so close at hand and not bite it?
Ask Wang Lin to return quickly and tell Wan Dongnan that the entrance to the secret passage should be kept secret. There might be a way to use it later. "
Zhang Wu responded quickly, and then hurriedly left to release Feiyu to Wang Lin. Zuodao said so urgently, and he did not dare to neglect it. He would only call if Wang Lin was really blocked in Shuangqing City and could not come back. Bad luck.
As soon as Zhang Wu left, Zhou Dong came in again. And he didn't rush to talk when he came in. He waited until the guard who served tea left and then said, "What you said may have really happened."
Hearing this, a layer of frost suddenly appeared on Bailang's face, an expression he had never seen before when he talked to Zhang Wu about the severe situation in Shuangqing City.
"Oh? Did you see Ma Liu?"
"Yes, the knife. The stone house where Li Youjun is in the army has recently added some light food, mainly white porridge and white flour steamed buns. It has been like this for four days. This afternoon, a bowl of rotten meat was cooked. And. These foods are not the same as the eating habits of the previous Qi practitioners of the Huangmen Yunzong, and are even very different. Because the four disciples of the Huangmen Yunzong prefer sweeter tastes and almost never eat tofu. Meaty.
Then we talked to the soldiers at the city gate and found out that there was indeed a carriage entering the city from the east gate four days before and the sign was that of Li Youjun.
Later, the handyman who had been cleaning the stone house at Li Youjun's side looked at Ma Liu's portrait and said that there was indeed such a strange face at Li Youjun's side, but he rarely went out and seemed to be locked up in the stone house. "
After hearing this, Bai Lang sighed secretly and said: These people from the Imperial Sect's Yun Sect are really capable. They were able to find Ma Liu so quickly and escort him back in such a chaotic situation. It seems that Li Youjun is targeting me now.
In the past, old scores that had been buried in time and would never be brought up again suddenly came to light now, at such a sensitive time, which made Bai Lang lament that things are impermanent and unfavorable things often happen.
"Is there anything else?"
Zhou Dong had no interest in exploring what this matter had to do with Bailang, and just answered mechanically: "Yes. At noon the next day after Ma Liu entered the city, Li Youjun went to the general Liu Jianyu's tent, and I stayed there for a long time. After I returned, I started walking around the city frequently, especially in the East City."
Bai Lang did not interrupt Zhou Dong's report, but his face became worse the more he listened.
"Let the eyeliners continue to keep an eye on all aspects of the army, especially Liu Jianyu's orders and the camp of Huangmen Yunzong, as well as Li Youjun's whereabouts. Try not to omit anything as much as possible. Of course, it cannot be detected."
"Don't worry, Zuodao. When they first camped outside the city, our people couldn't do anything to them. Later they entered the city, and the defense tasks on the city wall were heavy. A large number of auxiliary soldiers entered the military camp to take over the chores, and our informants also We followed him in. Now the entire Yongchuan City, including most of the camps in the military camp, have our spies, but they are just superficial and have not gone deep. But it is definitely enough for spying."
"Very good. Any abnormal behavior by Li Youjun in the future must be reported immediately. Remember."
"My subordinate understands!"
Waving his hand to signal Zhou Dong to step back, Bai Lang's face was filled with sadness and obvious doubts.
