At this time, in a forest near Blackpool Lake, more than 40,000 elite soldiers from Blackwater City gathered. Although Heishui City was captured, Chen Miao and Chen Heishui led their troops out of the city through underground secret passages.
In a tent, Chen Yongsheng asked: "Uncle, how should we act in the current situation?"
Now that he had lost Blackwater City and hundreds of thousands of people, he felt a little flustered and could not calm down to think, so he simply asked the resourceful elder.
The Great Elder Chen Miao said: "Yongsheng, the Chu army is now powerful, and there is support from the Holy Fire Sect and the Great Chu Court behind it. We cannot forcefully fight. We first find a way to save the people, and then go to the depths of the Southern Wilderness to establish a foundation."
After hearing this, Chen Yongsheng nodded and said, "What my uncle said makes sense. I will send someone to find out the news."
Immediately, Chen Miao said: "By the way, Yongsheng, we have to send a message to Yongliang to inform the Mengshan Department of the news here. Meng Wei must not be able to sit still. When they fight with the Chu army, we will wait for an opportunity to take action."
Chen Yongsheng also believed this, took out the summons token, and summoned his son Chen Yongliang.
…
A moment later, Mengshan City, the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
Chen Yongliang was already under house arrest by the Mengshan Family at this time, and the messenger weapon was also received by the Mengshan Family.
Therefore, as soon as Chen Yongsheng passed the news over, the patriarch Meng Wei suddenly looked shocked and quickly summoned four elders for a meeting here.
Meng Wei said in a deep voice: "The news just came that Blackwater City has been breached by the Chu army, and the city-protecting beast Blackwater Black Snake has been killed by the Chu army. Now that Blackwater City has been broken, the Chu army is coming fiercely. If we advance straight in, we will be blinded. The mountain city is the first to bear the brunt. Elders, do you have any solutions to solve this dilemma?"
In fact, he was also quite depressed. He didn't expect that the Blackwater Ministry was so incompetent. In just one day, the Chu army forcefully broke through the city, which caught him off guard. At this time, it was difficult for the Mengshan clan to resist the Chu army alone. The difficulty was how to get the other five tribes to send troops in advance.
"Clan leader, the only way to fight now is to unite with the other five tribes to fight, otherwise they will be defeated individually! In addition to our Mengshan tribe, the White Tiger tribe in the west and the Qingmu tribe in the east may also be attacked by the Chu army at any time. Convince It is not difficult for them to send troops. And the Zhurong tribe has been married to our Mengshan clan for many years, and my wife is the daughter of the leader of the Zhurong tribe, so we can persuade them to send troops. As for the remaining Shadow Department and the Beast Control Department, we will unite the four departments, and we will know our advantages and disadvantages, and we will not be afraid of them No troops."
An old man in a yellow shirt said that he was the second elder of the Mengshan tribe, his name was Meng Zhi, and he was a strong martial artist.
"What the second brother said is true. If they dare to play tricks, we will withdraw from Mengshan City. If Mengshan City is lost, the other five departments will not be spared. If they are not stupid, they will definitely send troops to help."
At this time, an old man in blue said. This person is the third elder of the Mengshan tribe, his name is Meng Ming, and he is also a strong martial artist.
"We can also contact the remaining troops of the Blackwater Department. They have lost their base, but they have no scruples and can sneak attack on their rear."
The speaker was an old man in white robes. He was the great elder of the Mengshan tribe, named Meng Xuan.
Only a middle-aged man in black did not speak. He was the Fourth Elder Meng Chong. This man was more brute force and rarely thought about problems.
Immediately, Meng Wei sent people to the other five tribes to discuss the alliance.
At this time, Ling Feng and Han Yue came to rest in a mansion arranged by Governor Zhou Yanyu.
At this time, Han Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Actually, there is something I don't know whether I should say."
Ling Feng smiled and said, "If there's anything you shouldn't say, just say it."
Han Yue said: "The Holy Fire Sect has regarded the treasures of the seven tribes of the Southern Barbarians as their own, especially the seven guarding monsters. Although they will not fall out if you snatch an inner elixir. But if there is another time, it will be troublesome. Yes, it’s very possible that he resorted to secret means.”
Ling Feng smiled and said: "I understand. If I don't fight with them, I will kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds. The Holy Spirit will naturally reward me."
Since the Holy Fire Sect is going to fight the thunder, let them go. His main purpose is to increase the energy value, and just grab a head at the critical moment.
Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as you understand! Now we have an escort mission, which is to escort these Blackwater City barbarians to Yanzhou. The Governor wants you to lead the team, what do you think?"
Although the battlefield ahead is dangerous, it is a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds. Not only does this escort mission have few merits, but it also has to worry about the remnants of the Blackwater Department causing trouble. It is natural to escort them safely. If the population is lost, the responsibility will be greater. This is a nutritious hot potato. Ling Feng thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Okay!"
He knew that the people from the Black Water Department would not let this opportunity pass by and would definitely rob someone halfway. And he was just about to kill the two powerful martial arts masters, the Lord of Blackwater City and the Great Elder, to improve his cultivation.
Han Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ling Feng to agree so easily. However, she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she handed a mustard bag to Ling Feng and said, "The Governor asked me to give this to you."
Ling Feng opened it and saw that it was a piece of black snake skin, with a soft and smooth texture. The black scale texture naturally had the effect of gathering water spirit energy and mysterious yin energy. It was the skin of the black water black snake. This snake skin has excellent resistance to water and mysterious yin, and its defense is also extremely strong. Ordinary inferior magic weapons cannot scratch it. Moreover, this snake skin is seven feet long and wide, enough to make a set of fourth-level leather armor, worth four to five million taels. In addition, there is a large piece of frozen black water black snake meat, which seems to weigh two to three thousand kilograms. This thing is a great source of energy and is even rarer than the third-level elixir. This feeling is not too light.
Ling Feng knew that this was compensation from Governor Zhou Yanyu, so he did not refuse, accepted it with a smile, and said: "Thank you Brother Zhou for me!"
The two chatted for a while, and after a while, he went back to the house to practice.
It is not easy to relocate the population, and overall arrangements need to be made. The task will not start until tomorrow afternoon. What he needs to concentrate on now is to cultivate the Canglang Immortal Body to the ninth level of perfection as soon as possible, and then condense the true essence.
…
The afternoon of the second day was under the scorching sun.
On a broad mountain road, a group of red-clad officers and soldiers escorted a large number of barbarians forward towards Yanzhou.
In order to prevent the Blackwater Department from robbing people, Governor Zhou Yanyu sent 30,000 elite troops.
Ling Feng, riding a little white dragon, was walking in the middle, closing his eyes to rest and secretly exercising his skills to temper his body.
Next to her, Han Yue was riding a sweat horse, but she looked wary. She had to be careful. This place was more than forty miles away from Blackwater City and far away from Yanzhou. If the Blackwater Department wanted to rob someone, this was the best place and the best time.
As if to confirm Han Yue's guess, a large number of arrows were fired from the left and right sides of the rear army, and dozens of red-clothed soldiers fell down in an instant.
Immediately, a large number of black-clad soldiers rushed out of the woods, led by Chen Miao, the elder of the Blackwater Department. chapter;
