Chapter 262
The dinner didn't last long, and it ended soon after Yu Liqing said he was drunk and said goodbye, and the guards escorted them, and everyone lost the intention to continue chatting. Feng Muyang and Zhu Boming naturally had something to ask for, but at this moment, what they said The words must be inappropriate, and they will be tongue-in-cheek and thought-provoking. If the plan is broken, it is not worth it.

The end seemed to be hurried, but it was actually very slow. The center of the banquet shifted from Qiao Anguo to Deng Shengjie. They were all over half a century old. They pretended to chat and flatter a few words. The scene did not lose the wind and gave enough face. This is naturally not good for Venerable Wu of the Tianmen Gate Take advantage of it.

Everyone in the world knows what kind of business Shangtianmen is. Merchants and shops are scared to close their doors to thank customers when they see people dressed in Shangtianmen. The Jia Luo Empire is still as prosperous as it was a hundred years ago.

Qiao Anguo, Yang Chengfu, and Cui Quji were actually so happy. They didn't intend to receive the two city lords, and it was very unlucky that the two running dogs of the Heavenly Gate came later.Later, I learned that the Northern Territory was in turmoil, and the Frost Crystal Dragon woke up. No matter how delicious the banquet was, it tasted like chewing wax, and I didn't want to swallow it.Arrange the city lord and the people who go to Tianmen properly, and order the servants to take good care of them, so that they can keep up their spirits, and don't slack off to displease the adults and cause trouble in vain.

The bustling atmosphere outside Qiaozhuang remained unabated. Compared with the silence inside Qiaozhuang, it seemed so chaotic. Qiao Anguo had not received any definite news from the north for a long time, and because of the delay in the meal, he was in a bad mood and had no Patiently continue to confirm whether this news is true.Let the fifty top soldiers divide into five routes to go north, among them are the disciples of the Bixia sect, who are not afraid of any risks encountered on the road, and each route is accompanied by disciples of the Bixia sect who are good at detoxification and alchemy, all of them are from the alchemy sect. There are at least four space storage artifacts for each route, which can be said to be fully prepared.

Yang Chengfu and Cui Quji also contributed to this matter. After waiting for everyone to put on various simple looks, the three confessed that they should pay attention to their own safety this time when they go north. The core purpose is to ensure that Lu Xulei, Ge Jianjun, Zhan Lu, Hong Tianying, Meng Bugui If nothing can be done, we must try our best to rescue the five people. There will be time and opportunities in the future, and we should not give our lives there.

The three tried their best to persuade them for a long time, and everyone understood the deep meaning in their hearts, and they were not ambiguous. They summoned flying spirit beasts one after another, jumped onto the back of the flying spirit beast, flapped their wings, and gradually drifted away.

On the other side, Yu Liqing threw off the servants in the name of going to the toilet, a few servants dodged to avoid the servants on duty, came to Deng Shengjie's bedroom, passed the window, slipped into the room as light as a swallow, and saw Deng Shengjie sitting He closed his eyes on the chair and rested his mind, slowly opened his eyes, nodded to Yu Liqing, then retracted his eyes, and said in an easy-going tone.

"Is it done?"

Yu Liqing looked up and down to confirm the situation in the house.

"Don't be cautious, I have set up seventeen scattered spirit arrays, so talk in my tone, no one can hear you."

"Master Deng is wise. This subordinate has already made a general study of the situation in the Southern Territory. If you give us some time tomorrow, you will be able to get a general idea."

"Does Qiao Anguo have the ambition to rule the southern region and become the emperor?"

"At present, there are no defense lines. The defense lines are mainly concentrated along the coastal areas. As for why the north has set up multiple defense lines, it should be due to the rampant banditry in recent years, and most of the defense lines in the north are scouts and guards. I don't see any disobedience. heart of."

Deng Shengjie touched it carefully, his tone was joking, and his expression turned cold.

"You observe carefully. If everyone is like you, the world will be really peaceful."

Yu Liqing pretended not to hear the meaning of irony, pretended to be confused with understanding, thought for a while, and pretended to say.

"What Master Deng means is to teach me to see some clues, even if the clues are not painful, but still able to frame Qiao Anguo and send him back to Yongyao Capital?"

"Enlighten yourself."

"Subordinates retire."

Yu Liqing raised his leg again, tapped the window sill with his toes, and swooped forward to the colonnade. Seeing the light-on servant walking away, he rolled five times in a row and left the front yard of Deng Shengjie's dormitory, avoiding the patrol and the front door. sentry, slipped back to the toilet again, and left the toilet pretending to be physically and mentally unobstructed.The servant didn't become suspicious, and only said that Yu Liqing's stomach was broken, and he didn't smell any peculiar smell when his nose moved, so he escorted him back to the house, asked him a few warm questions, closed the door after being politely declined, and stood in the courtyard waiting for the summons .

There was no other movement that night, except for the people who stayed up all night to celebrate the festival and reveled outside, Qiao Zhuang was surprisingly silent.

In the next few days, Qiao Bang was dragged by Zhu Hankun to do activities together. Qiao Bang did not expect to be entangled by his classmates after leaving the academy. He was used to practicing in the morning and did not leave his room for the next few days. Stay in the house and practice the animal suction method and the concealment method.During the time with Zhu Hankun, Qiaobang never summoned Xiaoroubao. He didn't intend to expose the glowing white leopard to Zhu Hankun prematurely. After all, the result of letting him know is still unknown.

Although Qiao Bang didn't have the talent to distinguish people by looking at them, he also saw that Zhu Boming seemed honest and honest but had a deep scheming mind. If he was deceived by his appearance and calculated by him without knowing it, it would be tantamount to harming the Southern Region Army .Feng Muyang’s motivation for coming here is mostly to join forces. Dinghai Province is called a province but actually it is divided into two areas. One is an area that is not invaded by spirit beasts. There are a large number of humans living here. After four human migrations, this area has even reached the population limit. Peak, and the other is the Southern Territory, where sea spirit beasts frequently appear. The reason why it is called the Southern Territory is that before Qiao Anguo came here, there was basically no one here, and there were only sporadic troops guarding it, not so much for defense. It's better to say it's luck, if you encounter a sea spirit beast coming ashore, you will fight, if you don't, you will rest in place and patrol regularly.

Compared with the stretch of mountains in the north, the sea area is much wider. Sea spirit beast attacks are uncertain and sudden. The defense in the past was very chaotic. Most of the factors came from the lack of military pay, uneven food distribution, The casualty rate is high and there is no source of troops.

Now under the control of Qiao Anguo, the Qiao Family Army, which originally had less than 2000 members, has grown into a Southern Region Army Corps of nearly 2 people. The army is well paid, the military supplies are sufficient, the fatality rate is extremely low, and the number of troops is still increasing under control.If this was placed more than ten years ago, no one would have expected such a scene. I believe that the original intention of Emperor Chen to send Qiao Anguo to the Southern Region was not to allow it to grow and develop, but to use the continuous flow of sea spirits from the Southern Region. The beast wears it down to death.

In the era when Hu Sigui became a general, the corruption and chaos in Dinghai Province were particularly serious. The people’s lives were in dire straits. How could the army have enough supplies? , There are many people who have no partner in their lives.The situation in Dinghai Province would not have improved if Feng Muyang hadn't been elected as the city lord and killed the six most arrogant corrupt officials with thunderous means.

The imperial court has never distributed supplies to the Southern Region, but has intensified its efforts to increase tax revenue year by year, shamelessly asking for resources from the Southern Region Legion.Such an absurd act can drag down an army within three months in an ordinary army. To put it bluntly, the Chen Emperor in the imperial court didn't want Qiao Anguo to survive, he just wanted to see Qiao Anguo die and die in the sea Under the sharp teeth and sharp claws of spirit beasts.

The current scale of the Southern Region is due to Qiao Anguo's ability to run the army. He has established countless prestige in the early years, and many desperate heroes in the world have rushed to the Southern Region; Utilize the resources in the sea area to heal and push back the sea spirit beasts that are good in nature and stranded on the coast, and cook for the unruly, ferocious sea spirit beasts. All valuable parts of their bodies are removed, and the soldiers turn into merchants. To subsidize military use, to uniformly domesticate the cubs of sea spirit beasts, and build a spirit beast garden for soldiers to contract; Without Cui Quji, dysentery alone can cause countless plagues, so how can we resist the invasion of sea spirit beasts?

Both Feng Muyang and Zhu Boming were good at calculating and scheming, but Qiao Bang had lived in Wanfeng City for nearly half a year, and he felt that Feng Muyang's achievements were obvious to all, and the people lived well.As for Zhu Boming, he has never been to Binh Lan Province, but looking at the resources that Cao Yang donated every time he visited, Qiao Bang felt that the economy of Binh Lan Province was far better than that of Ding Hai Province. If they knew that the chasing leopard could transform into a flashing leopard through the host devouring the treasures of heaven, material and earth, and then evolve into a glowing white leopard that can quickly heal the target, God knows what changes will follow.

Qiaobang has already decided that even if he returns to the academy, he will only reveal the two abilities of Xiaoroubao's Forgiveness of Light and Shining Light during ordinary discussions, and will not easily show others his other abilities, especially the chain of light. During the survival assessment, he used it when no one was around. Although the side effects of this chain of light were huge, the effect was obvious. Qiao Bang couldn't tolerate a teacher like Wu Jin who stepped forward to be seriously injured again. The suffering is far greater than the sense of relief after being redeemed.

Today is the day when the two city lords left the Southern Region to return to their cities under their respective jurisdictions. It has been seven days since the Qing'an Festival.In fact, Zhu Boming had expected it a long time ago. After all, the two people who accompanied him to the Heavenly Gate asked to come here. At that time, he could not refuse. He became the "stepping stone" for Deng Shengjie and Yu Liqing to start their trip to the Southern Region. Zhu Boming, who knew he was wrong, came to the Southern Region Afterwards, there was no movement, and they stayed in the dormitory peacefully. The servants came up to serve and then got up to cooperate. It was not until Qiao Anguo invited him to have dinner together that he pretended to be unwell and asked his eldest son Zhu Guangning and his wife Xu Yuqing to go. Did not leave the dormitory.

Cui Quji "intimately" sent two disciples of the Bixia Sect to come forward for diagnosis and treatment, and finally prescribed a prescription to treat headaches and brain fever, claiming that Zhu Boming was tired from traveling and traveling, and he was not acclimatized when he came to the Southern Region, so he needed to rest and recuperate his body. Wait until you are light and healthy before heading back to Binh Lam Province.

This series of moves is a trick to deceive the two people of Tianmen, but although the moves are bad, they have been tried and tested.Zhu Boming informed Zhu Guangning of the central idea early on, and having his wife accompany him was only an aid. He wanted to promote a deeper cooperation between Binh Lam Province and Nanyu, and he also wanted to train his eldest son, Zhu Guangning, so that he could start to be on his own. Zhu Boming wanted to retreat to the second line when the situation was ripe and push his eldest son to the position of city lord. This was nothing new in the Jia Luo Empire, but there were more submissions and the process took longer.

Feng Muyang was even more low-key here. Next, Wanfeng City was about to be swept by a storm. He made two-handed preparations and passed the news he had learned to the staff in Wanfeng City through cipher text, and made a decision after he returned to the mansion. During this period of time, I have thought a lot, how to reverse the situation in Wanfeng City to the greatest extent, this is one of them; after dinner with Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu, they talked by candlelight, and did not shy away from the suspicion of going to the gate of heaven. The joint vertical strategy in Dinghai Province is the second one.

When the two city lords came to the Southern Region, they both tacitly stated that they would not have too much interaction with each other. At the same time, they also paid attention to their sense of proportion and kept a distance from the two people who went to the Heavenly Gate. .

During this period, the two city lords racked their brains and finally achieved their goal. They negotiated conditions with Qiao Anguo and initially established a plan for the next three years.As for the process, Qiao Bang didn't know anything about it, and he didn't want to know too much at this stage, but only heard some content from the few words of Yang Chengfu and Feng Muyang.

"City Lord Feng actually doesn't need to worry about Venerable Wu being held accountable, because we don't want to let Han Dongsheng run away recklessly. In my opinion, as long as we don't send more people to break into the Han Mansion, he will find an opportunity to escape when he sees the situation is not good. , we loosened the outside and tightened the inside, forming a circle around the outside of the Han Mansion, which seemed tight but kept him and his relatives alive, forced Han Dongsheng into a dangerous situation, let him and the masters of the mansion hurt people with their hands, and caused some deaths. The fake show was real, and the matter became a big issue, and spread to the streets. This way, it seems that you, the city lord, have not neglected to arrest, but you did not expect Han Dongsheng to jump over the wall in a hurry, disregarding the majesty of the imperial court, and escaped from the siege by him and the guards in the mansion. City Lord Feng immediately sent someone to Shangtianmen to report the situation, and then pretended to be a bitter face to come to the door to plead guilty. City Lord, you have lost a lot of power because of this, so Deng Shengjie will not pursue it any more, and at the same time use a few lives to wash away Having clarified the relationship between you and Han Dongsheng, it proves that you and Han Dongsheng have no conflict of interest, and it shows that you are not the same person."

"But my Feng family is small, how can I lay such a heavy hand on my family members? Even if this matter is done well, it will only increase the number of murders, which is not in line with my usual style. I am afraid that Mr. Yang's approach is a bit inappropriate."

"Haha, City Lord Feng is worrying too much. How can this matter affect the Feng family? Before doing anything, send the family guards away. It's best to find a reason to let them go to the surrounding area to play, and then send some people who are not easy to deal with on weekdays." The thorns go over and form a circle, if you die with a few stunned youths, you will be more trustworthy, and you have also taken the opportunity to get rid of some soldiers who are not used to it on weekdays."

"Let's not mention whether Han Dongsheng will take a dead hand to solve the obstacle. How can Director Yang think that Han Dongsheng will run away instead of notifying the cronies in the imperial court, leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, and get through this disaster safely?"

"This is the reason why you haven't lived in the imperial court for a long time. You and I understand the reason why people go to cool tea. Han Dongsheng was just a tool for making money in the imperial court. He used it at his convenience. It sounds a little sloppy, will you still use it?"

"Boss Yang has a good opinion, Feng is taught. But I still have doubts in my heart. If the chess is wrong, I may not be able to sit firmly as the city lord..."

"It's okay, just show Han Dongsheng a play, and pretend to have a secret conversation with his staff, so that Han Dongsheng can hear it. This matter needs to be done as if it were real, and the spirit array teacher has to be taught to pretend to set up a few Re-dispersing the spirit circle will make him think that you have big plans, but actually let him fall into the trap. This matter needs to be implemented after Deng Shengjie and Yu Liqing have arrived in Wanfeng City. It is best to send someone to follow up after a day It is convenient for the two of Tianmen to split up. I don’t need to say more about the rest, City Lord Feng has many staffs, and among them, the staff who care about them will organize their own plans.”

"Thank you, Director Yang, every word and every sentence is full of high-spirited talk, Feng is not talented, and I will ask you for advice in the future."

Feng Muyang, Liu Shaoyong and his party guarded Deng Shengjie and Yu Liqing, and left the Southern Region. Seeing Feng Muyang and his party leave, Zhu Boming regained his spirits, thanked him, and promised to do what he said next time. Quanzi Guangning will stay in the Southern Region , I also ask General Qiao and Manager Yang not to take care of him, let him suffer some setbacks and hardships, it is best to go to the front line to fight against a few rounds of sea spirit beast attacks, and use his son as a soldier.General Qiao solemnly agreed, and when Zhu Boming, his wife and children, and Cao Yang left the southern region and drifted away towards the northeast, Qiao Anguo looked back at Zhu Guangning.

His face is a bit more ordinary, and his appearance is much more pleasing to the eye than his father's, of course, it's just a lot more pleasing to the eye.

As Qiao Kexin's grandfather, it's normal to see Zhu Guangning not pleasing to the eye. This kid didn't know what trick he used to make the granddaughter who originally rejected Zhu Guangning and Feng Qingyang laugh heartily. As a tour guide, he took him around in the southern region. It was difficult to hide this matter. Qiao Anguo got the news from the patrol soldiers.

His son died early, and there was only such a granddaughter under his knees. Except for the huge legion forces that tugged at Qiao Anguo's heartstrings, only Qiao Kexin and Qiao Bang were left.Although I also hope that my granddaughter will find a good husband and wife as soon as possible, it is best to have a few fat babies, so that I can hug my great-grandson and great-granddaughter in my lifetime, which is also a wonderful thing.

It’s true to think so. I really saw my granddaughter talking and laughing with another young man. Although there was no physical contact, the two of them did not hide their smiles from a distance, and they could feel the love between them from a long distance away. The tentacles of mental power were twisting disorderly, and Qiao Anguo still felt a little uncomfortable.

Obviously, Qiao Kexin and Zhu Guangning saw each other right now, and it should be an ambiguous stage right now, and the window paper has not been pierced yet.

Qiao Anguo wanted to go, but decided to remind Qiao Kexin in good faith, reminding Qiao Kexin to consider whether the man is willing to abandon the family and commit himself to the southern region. After all, Yang Shuqi, Qiao Anguo, and Yang Chengfu all pointed at Qiao Kexin and said yes The bond of family cannot be overstated.

Qiao Kexin's coy gesture made Qiao Anguo realize that Qiao Kexin might really have a crush on Zhu Guangning.

While secretly sighing in his heart, Qiao Anguo gave a few instructions, then stopped talking, and went to Qiaozhuang to chat with Yang Shuqi about the matter, leaving aside the heavy military affairs.

Yang Shuqi was immersed in this boring normal life in the early stage and was helpless. Since her husband died tragically in the imperial court, it is difficult to have anything to make her happy.

That kind of fatigue with a forced face and a smile is too hopeless.

The small things that consume her every day in the southern region are not worth mentioning in front of the soldiers who risk their lives, but they are the straws that weigh on the camel, making her lose her soul and lose her soul. The pain of bereavement came out.

During that time, the daughter had no intention of taking care of her. Qiao Anguo and Yang Chengfu devoted all their energy to taking care of Qiao Kexin, and gradually developed a pungent personality, not like a girl's heart at all.

When her eyes were red and she shed tears uncontrollably, it must be because she was secretly sour about this unsolvable experience.

When she learned that Qiao Kexin's heart belonged, Yang Shuqi didn't feel any novelty, but was worried and anxious about her daughter's choice.

Maybe the past experience brought her enough good memories, so when she learned that her daughter might also have her own happiness, she was panicked and flustered, for fear that her daughter would follow in her footsteps.

All of this can only be digested by time, and people's hearts can only be seen after a long time.

The relationship between Qiao Kexin and Zhu Guangning has attracted the attention of the soldiers of the Southern Territory Army. In this poor frontier, any little thing can be passed on by word of mouth and intensified. The final version and the original truth may not be the same thing at all. , but it does not affect the soldiers to comment and use it as a pastime.If Qiao Bang was not one of the insiders, he would have been bluffed by the latest version of "Zhu Guangning wants to kidnap Qiao Kexin and run away".

The older sister is an adult, and although she is not her own, she is also Qiao Bang's relative who came to this world to accompany her for a long time.Qiao Bang also thought about Zhu Guangning a little bit, and observed Zhu Guangning openly and secretly. Anyway, as a child, whatever he did would only be regarded as playful. This is the best disguise.

Seven days after the two city lords and their relatives, the venerable of Shangtianmen and their entourage left the southern region, Qiao Bang was hurrying to practice. Qiao Min learned how to react on the spot to improve her reaction speed, and asked Qiao Hongxing to learn new hidden weapon throwing techniques. Qiao Hongxing taught some general skills without violating the sect's rules, but even so, they were very useful.

Qiaobang feels that he has benefited a lot in the past seven days. The most important thing is to understand the changes in skills with the thoughts taught by the academy. Power, through the knowledge system taught by the college, is like a key to pry open a dusty iron box, and inside are all the treasures that you can extract at present, it can be said to be accumulated over a long period of time, and it is extremely smooth.

Yesterday, Chen Zixiong came to look for him. Qiao Bang knew that he was going back to Wanfeng City to return to the academy, but Chen Zixiong looked sad, and he didn't seem to be happy. Qiao Bang remembered that Chen Zixiong went home to accompany his wife and children after the report. It should be Those who returned to the Southern Region Legion only two days ago didn't know why they were frowning, and Qiao Bang was not easy to ask. He just said that his mood was hard to calm down, and something was not going his way recently.

Qiao Bang really didn't want to go back to the academy, mainly because the animal suction method and the concealment method had not been practiced yet, and the soul-breaking gun had not been repaired. After returning to the academy, his life would be filled with courses. How could he have time to make arrays? plate.

Thinking of Tianye in Wanfeng City, I don't know how things are going these days, and whether he and Zhang Mengxue are getting closer.

I have already learned how to make arrays, so I have to take responsibility in the future to make more arrays for the Southern Territory Legion. At the same time, I will hone my drawing skills and work hard to make up for my weakness. One day I will be able to achieve the same drawing speed as Yang Lan , at that time, I can be regarded as entering the room as a spirit formation master.

It was late at night, Qiao Bang packed his bags and put them in the turtle shell. He said goodbye to his relatives one by one during the day, and left the Southern Region Army with Chen Zixiong and his party that night. He planned to travel all night and arrive at Wanfeng City before dawn.This time, everyone unanimously decided to take the flying spirit beast to the south of Wanfeng City forty kilometers and settle down, and then change to the land spirit beast to continue moving forward, minimizing the possibility of revealing their identities.

He didn't see Han Junhu on the return trip this time, and Qiao Anguo had already left him in the Southern Region. This thorn in the instability shouldn't stay for a long time. If Yang Chengfu manipulated it, it would definitely lead to a different result.As for the cares about it, Qiao Bang had expressed his thoughts with Qiao Anguo before leaving, but Qiao Anguo accepted it readily, touched his head, and said something that made him confused. language.

"You really look like him..."

"Who am I like?"

"A peerless strong man in a black robe, your words are almost the same as what he said."

"Peerless strong? Is he very strong? How does he compare with grandpa?"

"Very strong. I'm in the same realm as your grandfather's master, Qin Chaomu. I can't resist the supernatural powers he uses at will, but I don't know why he didn't ascend and still stay in this world."

"Then did this peerless powerhouse leave a name, is it an enemy or a friend?"

"It must be You, a person with righteousness in mind."

Qiao Bang didn't understand what Qiao Anguo said from the beginning to the end, but he still kept his eyes open. He was wary of the black-robed strong Qiao Bang. When he decided to return to the Southern Region again, if he saw that The black-robed powerhouse must be checked with the Colter system.

Waving goodbye, the figures of Qiao Anguo, Yang Shuqi, and Yang Chengfu gradually became smaller and blurred behind him. Qiao Bang turned his head and looked to the north. It's much better on the other side of the scene.

After flying about 6000 meters, a spacious camp gate came into view.The west side of the camp is close to the hillside, and the north side is not far from the stream flowing from the mountain stream.The entire camp is large in scale, but the defense facilities are extremely simple. There are only four rows of wooden fences, a few wooden sentry towers, and a few dozens of tents. It is obviously just a reconnaissance station, and some are arranged to resist spirit beasts. Or the rough things that come to offend bandits.Soldiers in armor of different colors stood guard and patrolled nearby. I don't know how many there were, but they probably would not be less than two centurions.

I think this is the first line of defense north of the Southern Territory...

The sky is full of stars, the earth is dark, and the north wind blowing head-on, even if it is swept by the heart of the storm, it still feels cold physically and mentally.On Shuo Fengdiao's back, Qiao Bang looked to the north, he couldn't see the majestic snow-capped mountains, and he couldn't see the person he cared about. Countless thoughts arose in his heart, wanting to become stronger, the sooner the better, standing in the sky and the earth, smiling proudly in Lingwu world.

Only in this way will there be fewer entanglements, and this useless worry will be resolved...
