Heaven sealed my account?I rebuilt against the sky

Chapter 12

The next day, the City Lord's Mansion.

Qingyang was still standing behind Chen Xunli who was reading in the courtyard.

"Is everything ready to be prepared?"

Chen Xunli put down the book in his hand and asked softly.

Qingyang saluted respectfully, and replied: "General, the granary is full, weapons and armor have been inspected and replaced, and the reserve of qi pills is enough to support a full-scale war for more than a year, and the soldiers who are about to break through have also been arranged. The remaining people in the city have not yet made wartime arrangements."

Hearing this, Chen Xunli laughed and said, "Why do you need to arrange for the people to retreat, because you have no confidence in yourself?"

Old Qingyang blushed, and hurriedly said: "Of course not, but the battlefield is dangerous. After the battle, I'm afraid that the Chuzhou city defense formation will not have enough manpower to maintain the defense operation during the war."

Chen Xunli nodded in relief, and said, "I've finally made some progress, so why haven't we made any arrangements yet?"

Qing Yang replied: "Second Young Master sent someone here last night to give instructions, saying that there is no need to arrange this matter."

"No need to arrange?"

"Yes, he said that the people in the city don't need to retreat. Instead of arranging retreat, it is better to put more energy into maintaining the safety of the city."

Chen Xunli thought about it, and suddenly laughed: "As expected of my good son, I am always stationed in Chuzhou, so I almost ignored these things."

Qingyang was confused, not sure why the general suddenly laughed, and asked: "General, can you tell me the reason for this?"

Chen Xunli turned his head to look at Qingyang, and asked interestingly: "Why did you suddenly change your temper today? As usual, let alone you will definitely not do what he wants, and you will come to me to complain about your bitterness."

Qingyang said embarrassingly: "Subordinates...subordinates realize that it seems that Second Young Master is not really a dude who doesn't understand anything."

"Hahahaha." Chen Xunli was obviously very happy when he heard Qingyang praise his son, "Tell me to come and see."

Qingyang rubbed his head, and said: "First, he is decisive enough, never sloppy in doing things, and shows no mercy to those who should be killed."

"Secondly, the people in Chuzhou City can spontaneously defend it. The second son may have played a bit of a fool, but he is definitely not a dandy who is doing harm to one side. In the past, his subordinates had too much prejudice against him."

As he spoke, Qingyang kept touching his head, with a puzzled expression on his face: "If you say that these subordinates are usually busy with military affairs and cultivation, it's fine if they don't understand, but this subordinate really can't figure it out. A cultivator who has entered the third stage of Taoism, even his subordinates can’t see through his cultivation, it seems that he has entered the ninth stage of Taoism, but he has the strength comparable to the late stage of palace cultivation..."

Chen Xunli chuckled and asked, "So?"

"So... the subordinates can't see through, if they can't see through, then they come to the general to clarify their doubts." Qingyang said honestly.

Chen Xiuyuan stood up, walked along the gravel path in the courtyard, and said, "You can have everything you have today. This is your greatest advantage. People don't need to understand, but if they don't understand, they have to ask and learn. One thing, you're doing better than most people in the world."

Qingyang followed behind, just smiled and waited quietly for the general to speak.

"Xiuyuan asked you not to interfere with the people's retreat because His Majesty is coming."

Qingyang seemed to understand, and asked: "Your Majesty still doesn't understand. If His Majesty is coming, shouldn't it be better to arrange the people's escape route so that His Majesty can see our ability?"

Chen Xunli stopped, turned to look at Qingyang, and said: "You are wrong, because His Majesty is coming, so we cannot arrange the people's retreat."

"Because we want His Majesty to see our confidence, to let His Majesty know that this battle must be won, and it is an absolute victory. It is a great victory for Daxuan to expand the territory."

"But just in case, we need to send more people to maintain the safety of the city."

"This is not only for the safety of the people, but also to demonstrate the importance we attach to His Majesty's safety."

"To put it bluntly, it's all about saving face."

Chen Xunli looked at Qingyang and said with a smile, "Now, do you understand?"

Qingyang suddenly realized, and nodded heavily. Although he did not agree with this approach in his heart, he was still ready to carry it out.

"Of course, we still need to arrange the escape route, and the plan must be thorough, so that no accidents will happen, and it will be too late to regret. The brat is still too young, so how can he know the dangers and rapid changes of the battlefield."

"Just be quiet when doing these things."

Hearing this, Qingyang looked at the general and smiled knowingly, the general was still the same general.

After Qingyang left, Chen Xunli looked at an old locust tree in front of him, and suddenly laughed.

"This brat, what do you think of His Majesty? He's not the foolish king of those small countries before Daxuan ruled. He can still be manipulated and coerced by the courtiers. He wants to save face in everything he does..."

……

The Zhenyuan General's Mansion was built on the mountain, with a plain to the west, bordering the Yaozu region, and Chuzhou City to the east.

Even if the Yaozu broke through the plain's defense line, the first to be hit would be the Zhenyuan General's Mansion, followed by Chuzhou City.

By the Wuyue Lake, Chen Xiuyuan sat in the carp watching pavilion in the center of the lake.

Thinking about the upcoming battle between the Wusheng Ruins and the Yaozu.

He really doesn't know anything about war. After all, when he had no strength, he stuck to cultivating immortals, and when he had strength, he pushed everything.

No serious organization has ever deployed a war.

However, professional things are left to professional people. He made some small suggestions, and he just reminded his father to pay attention to some disputes outside of war.

As for how to do it, he doesn't care, after all, he is not familiar with the court, the holy one, and the old man will arrange it properly.

Stop thinking about these things, look at the sky is still early, and the appointed time has not yet arrived, so I can take a nap for a while.

Chen Xiuyuan went out to look at the carp pavilion, and lay down on the fenceless path with lakes on both sides.

Casually sprinkled a handful of fish food on the lake.

All of a sudden, thousands of carps were competing to jump, and the colorful scales of the fish were fluctuating under the sunlight.

The breeze was blowing, the koi were jubilant, the water was shimmering, and the young master lay flat.

Cozy and comfortable.

Looking at the carps swimming in the lake full of spirituality, Chen Xiuyuan suddenly remembered the treasure under the lake.

"By the way, why don't you see what the treasure at the bottom of the lake is?"

As soon as he thought of it, he made a water-avoiding knife, and Chen Xiuyuan didn't bother to get up, so he rolled on his side and fell into the lake.

The lake is less than [-] meters deep.

Soon Chen Xiuyuan sank to the bottom of the lake.

I saw a huge gossip-shaped bluestone platform came into view.

A faint light curtain isolated the lake water.

Above the center of the gossip table, an ordinary black brush is suspended, as if watching the swimming of thousands of carps, experiencing the joy of nature.

Chen Xiuyuan was taken aback, looking at the brush, a familiar memory came to his mind.

"Isn't this... the pen I gave Xiao Hei back then?"

Seeing the old man's belongings suddenly, Chen Xiuyuan sighed in his heart.

Xiao Hei, whose real name is Jiang Tao, Chen Xiuyuan has always called him that because he loves to wear black clothes.

"So Dad still has a close relationship with Chongyuan Academy in private?"

The old Jijiu of Chongyuan Academy, that is, the founder of Chongyuan Academy, is none other than Jiang Tao.
