The city lord is back!

The lord of Xiyun City, Zheng Yuanlong, is the younger brother of the lord of Bo'an City, Zheng Yuanyun. Because of this relationship, after receiving the urgent military message from Bo'an City, Zheng Yuanlong led his army to set off overnight, which shows that he was anxious.

Fortunately, Chen Ze noticed the strangeness of the Poison Mist Forest only one day late and reported it to Xiyun City. Otherwise, he might not be able to catch up with Zheng Yuanlong.

At this time, the threat of the Poison Mist Forest has been lifted, and it seems that there is no need to recover Zheng Yuanlong, but this is only an afterthought.

Before the poisonous fog army reached Xiyun City, even Chen Ze couldn't estimate how many people there were and what kind of attack plan they had. Calling for reinforcements before the war started was just to play it safe.

After that, although Xiyun City had been protected, out of caution, and even though the Zhu Yan Empire was attacking Bo'an City this time, the breakthrough point was most likely Xiyun City, so Zheng Yuanlong continued to be rushed back.

Nothing wrong.

After all, there are still more than 5,000 people lurking in the Poison Mist Forest. Unless this force is eliminated, it will always be a threat to Xiyun City. With the help of Zheng Yuanlong's troops returning to defense, Xiyun City will be even more impregnable. At the same time,

It also has the ability to counterattack.

City Lord's Mansion.

"Are you Chen Ze?"

Zheng Yuanlong's Dama Jindao was sitting at the head of the hall of the City Lord's Mansion. With his dark face and sharp, narrowed eyes, he was looking at Chen Ze who was standing silently in the hall.

He is extremely tall. Even if he is just sitting, he is a head taller than the attendants standing around him. The bulging muscles all over his body stretch the warrior's uniform to the point of bursting. With his pair of shoes, it looks like they were painted with black paint.

The sword-shaped eyebrows look majestic and majestic.

Of the two brothers of the Zheng family, the eldest brother Zheng Yuanyun is a counselor and is now just a hair away from the national master. The second brother Zheng Yuanlong is a military general and has now reached the position of governor. He can be regarded as a double master.

.

"I have met the Lord of the City!"

Under Zheng Yuanlong's fierce gaze, Chen Ze was neither humble nor overbearing, and responded in a deep voice with his hands raised.

Zheng Yuanlong's eyes moved away from Chen Ze's face and turned to Mr. Jing who was sitting quietly on one side.

"Sir Zheng, this time Xiyun City was in danger, it was really thanks to Chen Ze's contribution that it was safe. The credit is not small."

Mr. Jing bowed slightly, confirming Chen Ze's success in defending the city, but he never glanced at Chen Ze from beginning to end, and his expression was calm, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking in his mind.

Since Chen Ze left that day, Mr. Jing has not looked for him again.

Of course Chen Ze would be happy to be in peace if the other party didn't come to see him, and naturally he wouldn't take the initiative to go to the military aircraft to make himself unhappy. Therefore, this was also the first meeting between the two of them in the past few days.

"You are... the third-class counselor?"

Zheng Yuanlong glanced at the military rank on Chen Ze's chest, and a trace of doubt flashed across his face.

But it only passed away in a flash, and then his face darkened, and he said coldly: "Since Xiyun City is no longer in harm's way, why do you still ask this city lord to come back?"

The implication is quite strange.

Chen Ze shook his head helplessly.

The two people in the hall, one is the Lord of Xiyun City and the other is the military aircraft officer, they are the two most powerful people in the city.

However, they are also the two who care least about Xiyun City.

Mr. Jing blindly handed over the military power to Chen Ze because of Hua Lao, but the city lord was not much better.

The city he was guarding was almost lost. After he came back, he didn't show any kindness to Chen Ze, and even gave him a cold look.

It is estimated that he was able to come back because he received Chen Ze's original analysis. He did not dare to let the fall of Xiyun City become a breakthrough for the Zhu Yan Empire and then capture Bo'an City in one fell swoop, right?

After secretly vomiting in his heart, Chen Ze could only say: "The reason why I urgently invite the Lord of the City to come back is, of course, that Xiyun City cannot afford to lose anything, and the second reason is because I don't want you to go all the way in vain."

"You mean..." Zheng Yuanlong said coldly: "As long as Xiyun City is not lost, the Zhu Yan Empire will not be able to capture Bo'an, so it will naturally withdraw its troops. So, my trip to Bo'an City was in vain?"

"What about this?"

After the words fell, he waved his hand without waiting for Chen Ze to respond, and a roll of kraft paper was thrown in front of Chen Ze.

This roll of kraft paper was extremely thick and had already fallen apart when it was thrown in front of Chen Ze. From his angle, he could see a bright red and dazzling word "BO" inside.

"This is……"

When Mr. Jing saw it from the side, his expression suddenly changed. He rushed forward, picked up the brown paper before Chen Ze, spread it out and looked at it, and his expression suddenly turned ugly.

"The letter passed by the flying pigeon, when did it arrive?"

While handing the brown paper to Chen Ze, he asked Zheng Yuanlong.

"Just now, my city lord just entered the city with his front foot, and the flying pigeon passed the message and arrived with his rear foot!"

Zheng Yuanlong snorted coldly: "Didn't you say that as long as Xiyun City is defended, Zhu Yan's army will retreat? Then how do you explain this?"

The technology in Haotian Continent is far less developed than in Chen Ze's previous life. If you want to send messages between cities, you usually send scouts to deliver the messages in person. Just like the last time Bo'an City sent out a message asking for help, it was delivered by people along the way.

In the hands of the lords of each city.

In addition, flying pigeons pass messages.

Although it is faster to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages, there are too many uncertainties in flying pigeons to deliver messages. Not only are they easily intercepted by the enemy, but there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen during the long-distance flight of carrier pigeons.

Therefore, if a commander wants to deliver a message, the safest option is to send out rigorously trained scouts, followed by flying pigeons to deliver the message.

Therefore, generally if you want to use flying pigeons to send messages, it is either because the enemy is besieging the city and the scouts are unable to leave the city, or the situation is so urgent that you can ignore the uncertainty of flying pigeons to send messages.

After taking the kraft paper, Chen Ze spread it out and took a look, his brows suddenly furrowed.

Looking at the signature on the paper, this urgent letter asking for help was actually sent from Bo'an City two days ago.

So that means...

At least two days ago, the Zhu Yan Empire continued to attack the city and had no intention of withdrawing its troops.

As the breakthrough point of this battle, Xiyun City has extraordinary strategic significance. Even if the Zhu Yan Empire does not dare to risk being detected and sends more troops here, necessary surveillance will definitely be available.

It was four days ago that Chen Ze defeated the poisonous fog army. To be precise, it was four and a half days ago.

After such a long time, Zhu Yan's scouts who were able to secretly monitor the battle situation notified the front battlefield through an emergency contact method similar to the legend of flying pigeons. Then the Zhu Yan Empire, knowing that nothing could be done, should have withdrawn its troops long ago, and it was unnecessary to continue to use up its own troops.

.

But they didn't.

Not only that, but according to the vellum, the Zhu Yan Empire even sent an additional 200,000 troops to Bo'an City, and it seemed that they would not stop until Bo'an was taken advantage of.

But the problem is, the Zhu Yan Empire is not afraid of reinforcements coming from Bo'an City, which is holding on, but instead makes dumplings out of them?

"May I ask, Lord City Lord, if any of the cities you passed along the way sent reinforcements to Bo'an?"
