Ning Qianshi was the first to speak, "Let me introduce first, these two Qingjian have an old relationship with me, and their coming to help this time has nothing to do with the Seven Star Privy Council, so they can be regarded as our own."
"Yanyue, my character is Dui, I have met you all." One of the women nodded. She is about twenty-five or six years old, with long hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a dark green robe, and silk gloves on her hands. She looks elegant and elegant.
"Ji Wuwang, good at shock technique." The other person was very casual. He scanned the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Qian, "Let's talk about it first. In addition to returning His Highness Ning's favor, I'm here to help. I mainly want to touch him. The alchemist he mentioned is also a Zhen. If I meet him at that time, I hope everyone can give me a chance to take action."
Qian did not respond to his gaze alone, but nodded honestly and said, "No matter what the reason is, the two of you can help me. This is something that the Shangyuan Privy Council should keep in mind."
"I think so too." Ning Qianshi spread out the map on the table, "Since everyone is here, let me talk about the current situation first."
As core members and high-level alchemists arrived in Liuzhou from Gyeonggi, the Privy Council already had basic offensive capabilities. At present, in the waterfront suburbs of the county closest to the Shenzhou border, the Liuzhou Army, the Jinzhou Army, and the Suzhou Army have set up a company camp that spreads ten miles, with a total force of more than 150,000, and it is still growing. In order to mobilize this coalition force , large and small ships on Jiujiang have never stopped. Almost all dock gangs and chambers of commerce are involved in transportation, and it is expected that all dispatches will be completed by the end of April.
Qingzhou is much slower, mainly because the Tianshui River in the north goes all the way east from Yazhou to the sea. There is only one tributary entering Qingzhou, and the transportation efficiency is much lower than that of Jiujiang. Therefore, so far, only the local garrison in Gyeongju is ready for battle, totaling 23,000 people. The troops from You, Ling and Yazhou are still on the way.
As for Ganzhou... Since the local garrison was annihilated, the pincer attack plan in the west has basically come to nothing. The Leizhou Army's small force can only contain Jinxia's movements at most, and it is basically hopeless to rely on them to capture the city.
"Were they all wiped out so easily?" Weihuang looked surprised, "The strength of the third princess has actually reached such an extent?"
"Don't forget the relationship between evil spirits." Bai Zhan said coldly, "The reason why taboo attracts countless people's admiration is because it can bring unimaginable power in a very short period of time."
"Is there any evidence that Jinxia Qi-sensing people used evil spirits in the battle between the two places?" Qian asked.
"As far as I know, not yet." Ning Qianshi replied, "The reason why they won so easily lies in two points. First, the performance of the machine beast is much more powerful than we expected, and it is far beyond the capabilities of the experimental products of the Ministry of Industry. It can be compared. In flat areas, it has more impact than a war horse. The countermeasures given by He'er are to dig large pits in advance, or create high and low obstacles to block the movement of the mechanism beast, and then destroy it with thunder."
"Mechanism beast?" Ji Wuwang raised his eyebrows, "What is that?"
"I will hand over the detailed information to you two later." Ning Qianshi continued, "The mechanism beast must be driven by Qi sensers, and even if Jinxia City gathers the entire power of Shenzhou, it is impossible to gather so many Qi sensers. , so Lord Ning Wan borrowed the power of a demon—and it was the demon of the West."
These words made everyone look a lot heavier.
In a sense, the crime of colluding with the demons of the West is greater than treason. After all, rebellion is an internal conflict, and wooing overseas demon clans is conniving at the invasion of foreign enemies.
"What's the second point?" Qian said after a moment.
"It was Jinxia City that gathered a large number of top combat forces and devoted themselves to this battle at once." Ning Qianshi revealed the information he had, "Olina and the legendary true dragon, the listener Luo Qingqing, There are evil horse ghosts with strange powers, as well as a large number of living dead from the Fang family. On the other hand, the defenders can only have a hundred swords at most. They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and individual strength. It is not surprising that they were defeated so tragically. By the way , my third sister Ning Wanjun also personally participated in this attack."
"You actually mobilized most of the main force to enter Ganzhou in one go, and you didn't even care about your own capital?" Du Yelong frowned, "Although Her Royal Highness is an enemy, her momentum is worthy of admiration."
"It's mainly because of the long-distance communication." Weihuang said disapprovingly, "No matter where we are, we can immediately know the enemy situation in Shenzhou. No one else would dare to take such a deviant approach. If we can find an opportunity to grab a communication The device will be fine.”
"As long as we win a battle, everything will be easy." Ning Qianshi raised his voice to focus everyone's attention, "Jin Xia relies on monsters and high-level Qi sensers. If they are allowed to come and go freely to attack the Privy Council troops, , we can’t afford to lose. Instead of guessing which army Jinxia will attack, it’s better to actively induce them to take action. With one Yuyi and three Qingjian, there is no way they can escape from this collision!”
"A sharp knife versus a sharp knife, I agree." Bai Zhan said expressionlessly.
"It seems that's the only way." Qian nodded slightly - no matter whether they are demons or alchemists, the level at the top of power is always in the minority, and losing one means losing one. Once the upper-level power is tilted, if it is consumed, the Privy Council, which sits on the land of ten states, will definitely win.
"By the way, I would like to ask, is the story about Yu Linglong true?" The Yu Yi Shi suddenly changed the subject.
This topic made the atmosphere at the scene slightly stagnant.
After Yan Qing defected, "betrayal" has become a very sensitive matter.
The core members of the Privy Council were supposed to be working towards the same goal, and there were not so many barriers between them. However, ever since Xia Fan came to Shangyuan City, the situation seemed to have become a little off.
"Weihuang, tell me." Ning Qianshi looked at the woman in red. When Yu Linglong attacked Fei Nian, Weihuang and Du Yelong had not yet left Shangyuan City. It was obviously more convincing for her to explain.
"I went to the scene to see it. The black arrows left behind were indeed shot by Yu Linglong. This cannot be faked." Weihuang said in a deep voice - those arrows are neither wood nor iron. They were created by the ability of projection. It is impossible for outsiders to imitate them. . "Fei Nian's injuries are also consistent with what he said. The two did have a fight."
"There's nothing to worry about, right?" Bai Zhan said impatiently, "As a guard of the Privy Council, Yu Linglong entered the Shenzhou territory without reporting, which is against the rules. Did she see Yan Qing? , but that’s not the point. Besides, if there’s a misunderstanding about this matter, why hasn’t she shown up yet? The wanted order clearly states that the person must be alive, which has left her with a chance to defend herself.”
"This is the fact." Ning Qianshi sighed inexplicably, "I have already told all the departments in the Privy Council that Yu Linglong should not be dealt with easily. He must be seen by me before making a decision. In addition, Fei Nian has also left. Beijing, we will arrive in Liuzhou within a few days, and then you can inquire more about the situation at that time. Do you have any questions?"
"there is none left."
"That's good." Ning Qianshi looked at everyone, "I would also like to remind you that this treatment is only limited to her coming to the door. If you see Yu Linglong on the battlefield, she will undoubtedly be the enemy of the Privy Council. Don't you think so? If necessary, hold on."
…
After the meeting, Du Yelong returned to his residence.
He locked the door, made sure no one else was around, and then walked into the inner room of the bedroom carrying a dinner plate.
I saw a woman locked tightly at the head of the bed.
It was Yu Linglong.
