"Oh? What happened to little brother Bai, as long as I, Danxiang Pavilion, can help, I will do my best!" After Wu Cang was slightly stunned, he immediately made his own promise. The court's favor cannot be repaid by a little material.
Even if he was asked to spend all the financial and material resources of Danxiang Pavilion, he would not hesitate!
With his current status as a second-rank alchemist, it is too easy to re-establish a power like Bidanxiang Pavilion. And this is what Bai Yuzhe brought him!
"The Patriarch of the Chen family, together with his two direct heirs, and about 50 Xinmen realm fighters of the Chen family, all died in our hands!" Bai Yuzhe said the data very flatly, as if he had killed It's not a big family in the floating city like the Chen family, but just trampled to death a few ants.
"What? Both Chen Chuanfang and his two sons are dead?" Wu Cang was startled, and almost spit out the drink he just drank. Fortunately, he had good control and swallowed it, but his face was choked. Get a bright red.
Bai Yuzhe nodded affirmatively, but didn't say anything, just looked at each other calmly.
After Wu Cang calmed down his emotions, he said, "Brother Bai, don't worry. Although the Chen family is considered a big family in Fucheng, their reputation is not very good. You can live in our Danxiang with peace of mind." Pavilion, if the people from the City Lord's Mansion come over, Wu will come to deal with it, and he will definitely keep you safe and sound!"
Wu Cang really kept a low profile during this time, even the fact that he had broken through to the Yinyuan Realm and was promoted to a second-rank alchemist was not disclosed to the outside world at all, and even only a few people in the Danxiang Pavilion knew about it.
However, his achievements in realm and alchemy are almost stable now, and he planned to announce the news in a few days. Now that something like this happened to Bai Yuzhe, he had to turn over his cards earlier.
He has great confidence that as long as he pays some price, the city lord Wang Zhenmin will definitely give him this face.
"That's too much Pavilion Master Wu!" Bai Yuzhe cupped his hands, Wu Cang's reaction still made him quite satisfied, but he still wanted to tell the whole thing, only to see him pick up the glass and take a sip of wine calmly , and then said, "There is one more thing. In this battle, a subordinate of a big man also died in our hands. You don't have to ask who this big man is. I can only say that his status is higher than that of the king. The mayor is much taller."
This time, Wu Cang's reaction was not as intense as before, but he secretly sighed in his heart: How troublesome are you people, your status is much higher than City Lord Wang...
Could it be the third prince who recently appeared in the floating city
Although the matter of the third prince's coming to Fucheng is relatively low-key, there are quite a few people who know about it, at least the forces like Danxiangge must be clear about it. Hearing what Bai Yuzhe said, Wu Cang quickly thought of this aspect.
Although the reaction was not that great, Wu Cang did not respond so quickly this time, but fell into silence, obviously hesitating.
Bai Yuzhe didn't urge him, he drank the wine calmly, ate the hearty dishes, and waited patiently. He can understand Wu Cang's mentality very well. The Chen family's matter is already a major issue, but within his tolerance, it can indeed be resolved by paying a certain price.
But the third prince, that's different. If it doesn't work, not only the Danxiang Pavilion will be gone, but his family and himself may also be in danger. Even if Wu Cang didn't agree in the end, Bai Yuzhe would not blame him. After all, he had tested Wu Cang's personal character several times, and it was regarded as his approval.
At this time, the lively atmosphere was completely quiet, and everyone was looking at Wu Cang, waiting for his decision.
"Brother Bai, this matter is very important, and Wu does not dare to make any guarantees! But, when the time comes, I hope you can understand and ask Wu to make some arrangements. Wu does not want his wife and daughter to be involved in this In the middle of the matter." After a while, Wu Cang finally made a decision and said these words.
"Then thank you Pavilion Master Wu!" Bai Yuzhe raised his cup, gestured to Wu Cang, and drank it down in one gulp!
In fact, he has already made a decision in his heart, even if the third prince comes, he will definitely not let Wu Cang's family suffer any casualties. He decided to live in the Danxiang Pavilion temporarily this time, in fact, for convenience and to increase his cultivation speed faster.
And Wu Cang's current performance made him very satisfied, so he would definitely not let the other party bear the danger in vain.
"Brother Bai, you are being polite. You can be said to be a kindness to our Wu family. If you have any troubles, even if you fight this old bone, Wu will do his best! However, you can rest assured for the time being. Today, the army of the Silver Wolf Kingdom has invaded, and the battle has already begun, and the Lord Wang must not have time to deal with this matter. As for the third prince you mentioned, he should also divert his attention." Wu Cang also drank the wine in his glass. , and then talked about the war.
Bai Yuzhe and the others hadn't heard of it because they didn't pay attention or inquire about it. It would take a while for the news of the war to reach their ears.
But Wu Cang is the only alchemist in Fucheng, how could he not know about this
"War?" When Bai Yuzhe heard this, his face turned slightly sideways, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He had already started to have some thoughts in his heart, but he won't say it now.
Then, with Wu Cang's efforts, the atmosphere just now slowly returned. After drinking for several hours, some people got a little drunk, and the dinner party was considered over.
After arranging for Luo Ming and the eighteen others to rest, Bai Yuzhe went to see Wu Cang again. After the two talked a few words, they went to the alchemy room again.
Bai Yuzhe's drinking capacity is very high, such a small amount of alcohol basically has no effect, Wu Cang's drinking capacity is also good, although he is a little drunk, but his mind is absolutely clear, with Bai Yuzhe around, alchemy is still not a problem.
The two opened the furnace at the same time, and what Wu Cang refined was the first-grade Huiling Pill. This kind of elixir is mainly used to restore one's own source power and physical strength, and its value is slightly lower than that of Condensing Yuan Pill. Bai Yuzhe's request to him today is to refine as many spirit pills as possible.
As for the Condensation Pill, he still has enough, at least for a while.
And Bai Yuzhe naturally still refines poison. After hearing the word "war", he already had an idea in his mind, so he didn't waste any time. He still came to refine alchemy and poison this evening to make the preparations he needed.
It wasn't until midnight that the two went back to rest. During this night, Bai Yuzhe refined poisonous smoke twice, one was the same as last time, and the other was different!
To go to the battlefield, the effect of liquid poison is naturally not as good as poisonous smoke.
In the next few days, Bai Yuzhe and others lived in the Danxiang Pavilion safely. Just as Wu Cang expected, the war broke out suddenly, and it was still a big battle. The Lord Wang must not have time to deal with the Chen family's affairs. matter.
Even the third prince is the same, if the floating city is broken, it will definitely be a catastrophe for the state of Yu. Not to mention that he himself is still in the floating city now, he is still very clear about this.
According to the information of Danxiang Pavilion, it is said that the battle was very fierce. On the first day, the city lord Wang Zhenming personally led his troops out to fight, beheading several generals of the opponent, and almost captured the vanguard general of the opponent alive. Morale soared. Then in the battle of the army, four or five thousand enemies were wiped out, and the opponent ran away with their heads in their hands, which can be regarded as a big victory.
However, he didn't dare to chase too far, for he was afraid of being ambushed by the opponent, and he didn't know when the army behind the opponent would arrive or what the approximate number would be.
The vanguard army of the Silver Wolf Kingdom was not discouraged by the failure of the first battle. After Wang Zhenming returned to the city with the army, the vanguard general Xiao Yong returned with his own army. He did not make any provocations. Not far from the other side of the Yuqing River, camps were set up.
The next day, the army of the Silver Wolf Kingdom arrived and joined up with their vanguard army. At first glance, there was a dense darkness in front of them, and it was estimated that there were more than 200,000 troops.
In the afternoon of that day, the siege battle officially started. As soon as Pu began, the Yinlang Kingdom launched a fierce attack. On the pontoon bridge, the real soldiers approached the city. Although they also left thousands of corpses and were washed away by the rushing river, after crossing the river, they all crazily launched an impact on the city wall!
Next, there will be a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
After two days, the floating city was temporarily held, and the 100,000 troops who could defend the city now had more than 20,000 dead and around 30,000 wounded, and more than half of them could not continue to participate in the battle for the time being. As a result, there are less than 60,000 soldiers available.
Moreover, the more than 60,000 to 50,000 defenders are all exhausted now. After all, they are defending the city, and the initiative rests with them, so they have to be on guard at all times. Moreover, the city wall has also suffered a lot of damage.
Although the losses of the Silver Wolf Kingdom were greater, their army was originally 2.5 times that of the Floating City. It can be said that the situation is very pessimistic.
The letter that Wang Zhenming sent out at that time has now been individually responded to, but if the reinforcements want to arrive, it is estimated that it will not be able to arrive within a day or two.
On the third day, Wang Zhenmin issued an order in the city to recruit volunteers to join the army and defend the country! Anyone who voluntarily joins the army, as long as his physical fitness is qualified, will be paid a lot, and even has the right to pardon some of the crimes he committed before!
Bai Yuzhe, who had already prepared well, was waiting for this day. In fact, even if the City Lord's Mansion doesn't take the initiative to recruit soldiers, he will take the initiative to lead people to join the army at that time. When such a huge war begins, there is almost no reason for the City Lord's Mansion not to accept it.
