The chief of staff said again, "City Lord, early this morning, there were twelve dead soldiers you were looking for. One of them was the personal guard of Tuoba Niu people and had entered the Northern Zhou Chamber of Commerce. Their identity book was perfect, leaving only a small flaw."

Li Xiancheng pondered for a moment and ordered, "Play as planned and find a way to let the grocery store know the news."

The chief of staff nodded.

Yuwen Tianlu is known as the best martial arts world, and more than a dozen dead soldiers are just ants in his eyes. However, once these ants have their identities, the attack on Yuwen Tianlu will have political significance.

Whether it is success or failure, Li Xiancheng's goal has been achieved.

The Western Army was in a stalemate with Western Chu. The Northern Zhou Dynasty held its troops in the north of Hengduan Mountain and stared at it. For Li Xiancheng, there was no chance. However, if the dead soldiers sent by the Northern Zhou Dynasty attacked Yuwen Tianlu, the Northern Zhou Dynasty would be implicated, and it would be difficult to escape. In this way, Li Xiancheng had a chance.

The best result is that all the losses are in the end, and the Ming Dynasty's Western Army was severely damaged. At that time, Li Xiancheng would have 100,000 dan of food and 20,000 soldiers. Why worry about the great cause?

The only thing that upset him was Zhao Langjiang, who was about to protect Li Qiuyi's ashes back to Yinyang. According to the spy, they were about to arrive in Yinyang in two or three days. Li Qiuyi's people's hearts were too high in Yinyang City. Li Xiancheng had been planning for many years and would never allow any gaps.

Li Xiancheng ordered, "Several entrusts from the City Lord's Mansion have been resting for so many years, it's time to go out and walk around. Never let Zhao Langjiang enter Yinyang City alive! Also, the food in the convoy must be grabbed, which is useful!"

...

The next morning, Xiao Jinyan got up and saw Yuwen Tianlu sitting in the yard reading, "Senior, did you not sleep all night last night?"

Yuwen Tianlu said: "In this life, people can't sleep enough in the first thirty years, and can't sleep in the next thirty years. They have too many things to worry about, but they want to let go but cannot."

He closed the book of etiquette and stood up slowly, "Come on, try your martial arts. See if you are qualified to marry my daughter."

Xiao Jinyan was already going to practice boxing. When he heard Yuwen Tianlu say this, it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he laughed and bowed, "Please give me advice."

Wuwang stepped out, and Du Yuwen Tianlu was standing beside him, and he punched Yuwen Tianlu in the back of his heart. Yuwen Tianlu stood still and punched him with his back hand.

One punch to one punch.

Xiao Jinyan's punch seemed to hit an iron plate, and a severe pain came, and he retreated three or four steps back. Xiao Jinyan was shocked. This punch was dull and had no use of internal strength. Could it be that his body was hit by iron?

At this moment, I couldn't think too much about it. Wushuang's divine fist was used, and the fist was like flowing water, stretching endlessly, attacking Yuwen Tianlu. After more than ten moves, it was broken by Yuwen Tianlu without a single move.

Yuwen Tianlu frowned and said, "In the face of absolute power, you are nothing. With internal force, you will win when you touch my clothes!"

When Xiao Jinyan heard this, the string force was fully exposed. Under the pull of the string force, countless true energy rushed into the acupoints in the body. With the help of internal force, Xiao Jinyan took Wuwang Step, his body was like lightning, and he attacked three punches in a row.

Yuwen Tianlu stood still and let him attack.

When Xiao Jinyan saw that Yuwen Tianlu was dragged down, he felt happy and vomited his internal strength.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The courtyard was filled with dust, and the stone trough for feeding horses at the door was hit by the force of fists and broke into two pieces.

Yuwen Tianlu still stood there, seemingly never moving.

Xiao Jinyan was secretly shocked. The three punches just now clearly hit Yuwen Tianlu, but Yuwen Tianlu seemed to disappear out of thin air. When his fist wind passed, he appeared in the distance again.

The law of space!

Yuwen Tianlu smiled and shook his head, "It's still not possible."

Xiao Jinyan stood still, "That may not be."

puff!

Yuwen Tianlu's clothes were peeled off a corner and fell to the ground. Yuwen Tianlu was surprised and turned around.

He laughed loudly, "It's interesting. I didn't expect that the girl in Northern Zhou Dynasty would pass on the secret technique of the Divine Arrow Sect to you."

Xiao Jinyan gave in and said, "It's just a lucky person."

It turned out that during the battle, Xiao Jinyan had secretly used string power to attract two internal forces, using the two locust trees in the courtyard, and the three fists were empty, but in fact they were used to cover the string power arrow. In order to prevent Yuwen Tianlu from induced, the string arrow shot towards his clothes when the fist was released.

Yuwen Tianlu said, "?Li Fenggou's arrangement for you may be correct."

Xiao Jinyan was stunned when he heard this, "What arrangement?"

"You go and ask him."

Li Bufan had already gotten up, cooked a pot of porridge, made a few more Hu cakes and a plate of pickles, and said, "Brother Xiao, senior, I'm having breakfast." Today he was on duty and recruited the exam school to get up for a while.

The breakfast was not rich, but it was very rare to get such a meal in Yinyang City, where supplies were scarce. Yuwen Tianlu got up and left after eating a Hu cake. Li Bufan changed into armor and went to participate in Yinyang Yicong's exam, leaving Xiao Jinyan alone at home.

Xiao Jinyan is not an idle person, he has nothing to do with him. Zhao Laijiang and Li Qingcheng are still in the future. Take this opportunity to take a look at Yinyang.

In the past, Li Qiuyi often told him how good Yinyang is. In the old man's heart, even a piece of soil, a piece of tiles, and a stone in Yinyang City was beautiful. It was the city he guarded throughout his life. Unfortunately, he did not embark on the way to Yinyang City until his death.

Yinyang City lacks food, but this problem does not exist for Qinglongfang, where the rich gentry live.

With Chishui as the boundary, Zhuquefang in the south of the city is wearing clothes and shoes, and the people have vegetables on the faces. Beggars can be seen along the streets. However, Qinglongfang is still full of traffic, with countless vendors, and brothels and restaurants are still open. If there is no connection or financial resources, only vegetarian wine can be supplied.

There are also peddlers from Zhuquefang and Xuanwufang who carry goods on their backs and call vendors along the street, frowning for the next meal. However, when the buyer asks, he immediately smiles and saliva and explains how good his goods are, so that the nobles living in Qinglongfang can look up to them. Perhaps the money they get sold will be only half a kilogram of rice in the end, so that the mother and children at home can have a full meal.

Li Qiuyi said that people in Yinyang will never give up.

Xiao Jinyan saw that no matter how they were born or dressed, these people had a hint of perseverance on their faces. They would not beat their chests and stamp their feet for the embarrassment of life, nor would they complain, but would live a serious life.

Over the past hundreds of years, Yinyang City has suffered countless wars, and even the city has been broken many times. Many people have left their hometowns. However, once the enemy retreats, those people will carry their bags and return to their own city.

These people are different from what he saw in Suzhou, Jinling, and Beijing.

Xiao Jinyan suddenly understood why Li Qiuyi fought for his life before his death and wanted to protect this city. As the Lord of Jindao City, the blood of the Hidden Yang people flowed in his body.

If the war on the Western Front was in progress, Yinyang City was the first to be affected. Many foreigners and Hu people, because the situation was confusing, had already set foot on the road to return home, but the people in Yinyang City still lived here.

He touched the letter in his arms.

The secret letter to Chu Bieli brought by Li Chunti to the pyramid scheme. He wanted to stop the war and let Xiao Jinyan persuade Chu Bieli to retreat. In the situation where the main war faction gained the upper hand in the capital, Li Chunti put his hopes on Xiao Jinyan, which doubled his pressure.

Dengwenyuan is in the capital and Yuwen Tian’s wealth is as powerful as water and fire. Once this letter falls into the hands of outsiders, Li Chuntie will have to face the crime of affair with foreign enemies. No matter what the original intention is, Dengwenyuan will definitely suffer a catastrophe and the consequences will be unimaginable.

He made up his mind that when Zhao Langjiang got into trouble in Yinyang City, he set off for Xichu to meet Ergou, who was peeing and mud in Suzhou City, and persuaded him to withdraw his troops.

Unconsciously, Xiao Jinyan came to the city lord's mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion covers an area of ​​nearly 30 acres, with a wall of two feet high, and there are guards wearing armor at the door. These guards hold horse spears and purple armor and purple helmets, which are the dragon cavalry troops from the City Lord's Mansion five thousand ethics.

The five thousand white horses in Yinyang City are divided into four guards: dragon, tiger, leopard, wolf, and guards. They are divided into armor and helmets. The dragon masters purple, showing their honor, tiger masters blue, and extremely powerful, leopard masters white, as fast as the wind, and wolf masters green, and return to see blood. Therefore, the locals in Yinyang nicknamed the white horses in purple hat, blue hat, white hat, and cuckold.

There are sentry towers in all directions of the city lord's mansion, each sentry is equipped with two sentries, five crossbowmen, and a gong for warning. Once something happens, it can quickly spread throughout the mansion. Such guards are comparable to the imperial guards in the imperial city.

The Dragon Cavalry Guard saw Xiao Jinyan stopping and standing, holding a horse spear and said, "Hey, come from outside the city lord's mansion? No one is allowed to snoop outside the city lord's mansion, why don't you get out of here?"

Xiao Jinyan bowed to the man and walked towards the street. After walking a few steps, he suddenly saw a black carriage parked at the gate of the city lord's mansion. On the carriage, one person came down, which was the old acquaintance.

"How come the Divine Sect of Light has also come to Yinyang City?"

The side door of the city lord's mansion was open, and a man who looked like a manager walked out and rushed over to give a deep gift. Dongfang Nuannuan returned the gift slowly. Under the escort of the wine-crazy Ren Pengju and the guardian Duan Yucheng, he entered the city lord's mansion.

Xiao Jinyan decided to stay and find out.

There are thirty feet around the city lord's mansion, and there are no teahouses and restaurants. The purpose is to prevent the people from spying on the city lord's mansion. The business closest to the gate is a Chana Kaki shop, which has only one floor.

Xiao Jinyan walked in and chose a place near the door. While pretending to select spices, he casually observed the gate of the city lord's mansion.

The shopkeeper came over and said with a smile, "The customer is here to pick up rouge and powder, but to the girl he likes?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded casually, "Shopkeeper, how is the business recently?"

The shopkeeper said, "Thank you, your business has been very popular recently, and it has doubled the price of the usual ones."

Xiao Jinyan said curiously, "Strange, because the recent war in Western Chu is tight, your store's business is better than usual?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master, are you a foreigner?"

Xiao Jinyan nodded.

"To be honest, our Yinyang City has been safe for twenty years. Who has not hidden a few thousand yuan in his family? We Yinyang people have no other problems. They just know how to enjoy it. They spend as much as they should and eat as they should. If there is an enemy attack, then they will fight to the end. If they die, they will not bring this money in their lives and take it away. It is useless to keep it. Those who live a tight life in this time are willing to spend money at this time."

Xiao Jinyan said strangely, "War is coming, why not go far away to avoid disaster?"

The shopkeeper said with a sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic sarcastic : "Avoid disaster? Where to go? Western Chu? Northern Zhou, or Daming? Although our Yinyang City surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the blood of Yinyang still flowed in our bones. The Zhou people, Chu people, and Ming people did not recognize us. They were dogs for others and acted in the face. It would be better to stay and fight to the death. If we talk about war, we Yinyang has not been afraid of anyone. In recent years, the city has been broken several times. We insisted on biting with our teeth, tearing our hands, and driving the foreign enemies out of the city."

The shopkeeper pointed his finger at the sky, "Because we have the King of Golden Sword!"

"Li Xiancheng?"

The shopkeeper snorted coldly, "Where is Li Xiancheng's Golden Sword King? There is only one of our Golden Sword Kings, and that is Li Qiuyi, the son of Yinyang!"

"I heard that he fought against Chu Kuangdao last year and the immortal went."

The shopkeeper said, "So what? Didn't he keep his successor? As long as the golden sword returns, our Yinyang City will be invincible!"

Xiao Jinyan finally understood what Li Qiuyi said to him in Suzhou City that day. He also understood why Li Xiancheng tried his best to stop Zhao Langjiang from coming to Yinyang.

Because Zhao Langjiang sent back not only Li Qiuyi's ashes.

There is also the soul of the Hidden Yang people.
