In the whole cottage, except for Boss Yan, no one knew that their 'protection fee' was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, as long as Qi Yuxuan sent a battalion of soldiers to him, they would be able to make peace with them. .
This secret passage is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It has always been aimed at foreigners. In order to reassure the emperor at the time, the location of this cottage was absolutely impossible to defend against the attack of Daliang.
Perhaps it was the wisdom of the little prince at that time that prevented the subsequent emperor from solving the problem. Instead, he secretly traded with foreign merchants through such a gray area.
Boss Yan has a strong control over the stockade, and everyone is used to obeying his orders, but he is really not a good commander. He can only rely on a few forts built by his predecessors to block the secret passage.
After knowing Qi Yuxuan's identity, he wisely handed over the command. In terms of marching and fighting, even a hundred of him can't compare to a single finger of Qi Yuxuan.
With the assistance of Boss Yan, Qi Yuxuan quickly mastered all the power in the cottage. Although these people were very uncomfortable with Qi Yuxuan's sudden appearance, under the suppression of Boss Yan, no one dared to disrespect Qi Yuxuan.
According to Qi Yuxuan's request, Boss Yan did not reveal his identity. In fact, if it weren't for the concern that the secret passage would go wrong, it would allow foreigners to take advantage, and Qi Yuxuan would just leave quietly.
It is best not to have any relationship with the imperial court for the existence of this cottage, otherwise it is likely to lead to more troubles.
After Qi Yuxuan took over the command, all kinds of tools were moved to the fort on the top of the mountain.
Logs, hot oil, rocks…
Qi Yuxuan almost regarded this place as a city to defend, with a variety of tricks, which made those foreign masters who wanted to force their way in immediately suffered a big loss.
Those people saw that it was impossible to do anything and quickly retreated, and this time they lost the lives of more than a dozen masters.
The bandits in the fort suddenly cheered excitedly. They have been attacking with bows and arrows these days. Those people with thick shields almost rushed over the pass several times. Fortunately, they were finally smashed with some big rocks. Go back, otherwise they might have rushed over.
No one is happier than Xu Ziyu seeing these foreign masters retreat. The existence of these people is the biggest threat to Qi Yuxuan. Don't blame Xu Ziyu for being cold-blooded.
The foreigners who had suffered heavy losses stopped their attacks. After all, the number of masters was limited, and it was impossible for the soldiers to take their lives to fill them like they did during a siege. After two days of stability, the group of people started to attack again. This time, it was obvious that some ordinary soldiers took the lead. Under the attack of arrows and logs, most of these people fell off the cliff with wailing, and only a few of them fell off the cliff. After the individual rushed through the narrowest passage, he took up a protruding boulder, and immediately took out a repeating crossbow and fired at the scum above.
The positions of these soldiers have no cover at all, and any arrow rain can kill them, but the repeating crossbows in their hands are amazing. If the bandits on the fort do not want to die, they must escape. This time the attack.
At the moment when the bandits were dodging, a few figures flashed across the narrow road below. The group of masters took advantage of this opportunity to rush over. Unlike the soldiers, they didn't stop at all after rushing over, and ran directly towards the exit of the secret passage.
The bandits on the fort hurriedly started the next wave of attacks, and the few remaining soldiers also died under this wave of attacks, but soon another group of dead soldiers rushed up to take their own lives. At the cost of his life, several masters passed through the secret passage.
In this way, under the cover of ordinary soldiers, these foreigners managed to send about twenty masters into the territory of Daliang.
In this regard, Qi Yuxuan has nothing to do. He is called a god of war, but he is not a real god.
The final result was a bit unacceptable, but compared to the dozens of assassins in the original text, only about twenty people left now, which was enough to make Xu Ziyu breathe a sigh of relief.
The foreign troops retreated, and Boss Yan and others were overjoyed. Without the threat of foreigners, they could continue to live here again.
Qi Yuxuan and Xu Ziyu soon bid farewell to Boss Yan. Now they have been missing for more than 20 days, it is estimated that Wu Duan is going crazy.
Boss Yan generously gave them two horses for their travel, Xu Ziyu thanked him very warmly, and then rode the same horse as Qi Yuxuan in his stunned sight...
As for the other one, ahem, it can still be used for a ride...
The two of them rode one horse and led the other horse and left under the tangled eyes of Boss Yan. They are currently about three days away from Liancheng. In addition to having meals and sleeping in the open air, they also need to travel. Be careful of sneak attacks by foreign masters.
Xu Ziyu is very fortunate that the communication technology in this era is not very developed. These foreign masters who have passed through the secret passage have no idea that their biggest goal in this trip is actually behind them...
Although they felt that they were still safe until they met Li Xiaolin, Xu Ziyu was still on guard.
Qi Yuxuan was also very nervous about the more than 20 masters who rushed into the territory of Daliang. If these 20 masters said they wanted to attack the city of Daliang, it would be a dream. Judging from the number of people, the only thing they could do was Assassination of Daliang's high-ranking officials.
The supreme commander of the northwest frontier is still in the state of being 'assassinated and missing', so the biggest target of those people should be Li Xiaolin, Prince of Anping.
Xu Ziyu admired Qi Yuxuan's reasoning ability. He had read the original novel, so he knew that the target of those people was Li Xiaolin, but Qi Yuxuan only came to this conclusion from some rudimentary information, which was enough to prove his own ability.
Knowing the goals of those people, Qi Yuxuan's speed on the road was obviously accelerated. Although the Prince of Anping was not to be talked about, he was the younger brother of His Majesty the Emperor. If he was assassinated at this time, the result would be very bad.
Before Xu Ziyu's ass turned into eight petals, they finally arrived in Liancheng in time.
Under Xu Ziyu's suggestion, the two of them dressed up a little to change their appearance, and quietly entered the city.
Qi Yuxuan found an inn to stay, and then went out quietly, Xu Ziyu didn't ask more, thinking that the Pingxi Army must have a fixed point of contact in this Liancheng.
About an hour later, Wu Duan appeared in Qi Yuxuan's room quietly in disguise.
"Where have you been for so many days? Did you encounter an assassin? Are you injured?" Wu Duan grabbed Qi Yuxuan's hand after entering the door, and asked anxiously after checking up and down.
Qi Yuxuan shook his head with a chuckle at the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine."
Wu Duan frowned: "Is it really okay? The prince's guards have searched the forest, and there are traces of arrows."
"Well, Zi Yu was well prepared, neither of us were injured." Qi Yuxuan explained.
Wu Duan turned his head and looked at Xu Ziyu in surprise: "He is well prepared? What has he prepared?"
Xu Ziyu looked at Wu Duan expressionlessly, then strode forward, slapped the dog's paw that was holding Qi Yuxuan's hands, and slapped Qi Yuxuan a few times while pretending to be disgusted: "Everyone already has a family. People, don't mess with others casually."
'Other' Wu Duan was instantly enraged. He and Qi Yuxuan had been in friendship for many years. It's even if Xu Ziyu suddenly appeared and kidnapped his good friend. Now he still dares to despise himself! ! It's so unbearable that my uncle can't bear it!
"Zi Yu, don't make trouble." Qi Yuxuan patted Xu Ziyu's head helplessly as a way to smooth things over for him. This guy seems to be very concerned about his physical contact with others, to the point of outrageous.
But no matter how you say Xu Ziyu is also his lover of Qi Yuxuan, he is a big man, so he should spoil him more... ╮(╯▽╰)╭ Qi Yuxuan didn't realize that his bottomless spoiling would eventually spoil him. Pit into the bottomless abyss. →. →Who made Xu Ziyu's face to be super invincible and thick, he should not be too skilled to climb the horse!
Xu Ziyu retracted his hand reluctantly, and glared at Wu Duan by the way.
Wu Duan was angry, but looking at Qi Yuxuan's gentle face, he suddenly felt that his titanium alloy dog was blind!
#That man with such a sweet smile must not be my good friend! #
#On the possibility of Qi Yuxuan being revived! #
#The guy who shows affection in front of the bachelor should be burned to death! = dish=#
After appeasing Xu Ziyu, Qi Yuxuan turned around and instantly changed into the cold-blooded general mode with an expressionless face.
Wu Duan silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood and stared at Qi Yuxuan with a sad look: Is this kind of differential treatment really good! ! !
Qi Yuxuan coughed twice in embarrassment, and then told him and Xu Ziyu's experience in that cottage with a serious face.
Following Qi Yuxuan's narration, Wu Duan's face also showed a solemn expression. If this group of 20 foreign masters ambushed and waited for Li Xiaolin to ambush him on the way back to the capital, there is a high possibility that they will succeed.
After all, there are only more than fifty guards around Li Xiaolin. Facing the desperate foreign assassins, they may not be able to save the life of Prince Anping...
Of course, this was without any preparation, but now that they have known their news, the target of the ambush will probably be replaced.
Almost as soon as Wu Duan got the news, he had already formulated an anti-ambush plan for these foreign experts.
After all, this is the country of Daliang, a group of foreign assassins, even with the help of spies, it is impossible for them to know so much about the affairs of the army. As long as he designs it well, Wu Duan is sure to keep all these people in Daliang.
After negotiating with Qi Yuxuan carefully, Wu Duan quickly left quietly under the cover of darkness. Xu Ziyu never interfered in matters that he was not familiar with, so he was completely on the sidelines of the formulation of this plan.
