girl let me check

Chapter 329 Disagreement
Gu Cangluan took back Qi Cang and stood with his hands down, his clothes flowing in the air.

He was silent for a moment: "Maybe I overestimated your talent, but it doesn't matter... I still have a lot of time, and I believe you do too."

"Starting from today, come here every day. If you keep going like this, one day you will be able to learn Gu Jian."

Fang Weihan had no choice but to agree.

A new round of practice continued, with Gu Cangluan responsible for drawing the sword and Fang Weihan responsible for blocking.

As someone who could enjoy the sword master's tricks, Fang Weihan was simply flattered.

Until Gu Cangluan passed away, he didn't understand why he was able to receive this honor.

Could it be that, as he said, he couldn't bear to lose his lifelong knowledge?
The illusion of mirror, flower, water and moon dissipated, and Fang Weihan returned to the top of the desolate and dilapidated pagoda again.

"Yunshu, how are you?"

"The power has been lost, but it is still within control."

The girl answered slightly tiredly.

"The power of cause and effect in the dharma of reincarnation is very abundant, and my power recovery speed here has also been greatly enhanced. This level of loss is not worth mentioning."

"……Thanks."

"Tell me thank you for what you said...really."

Yun Shu muttered and waved his hand as if to drive him away.

"Okay, okay, get out of my house, I want to rest."

So whose consciousness is this?

Fang Weihan had no choice but to withdraw from the sea of ​​consciousness.

On the endless white beach, Yun Shu gently sat down against the blue waves.

"Gu Cangluan...does he know something?"

The girl murmured to herself.

"The illusion of mirror, flower, water and moon can never affect a rank eight powerhouse, unless that person actively wishes..."

"Could it be that he..."

Heavy waves rolled in the girl's pupils, just like her unquiet heart at the moment.

……

……

All Jiangnan aristocratic families know that the Xie family in Chen County has a unique talent, a woman, and a famous name Lingwan. She came from Changming and mastered all the weaknesses and intelligence of the Jiangnan family. She was able to influence the entire balance of power in Jiangnan with only a very small amount of money.

She usually lives in seclusion on Dongshan, but her hands and eyes can reach every street and alley in Kuaiji. Anyone who dares to mess with her will be repaid ten times the consequences.

At the beginning of June, Jiangzuo was frightened, and all the powerful men bowed their heads.

There is no doubt that the counties in Jiangnan are now completely under her command. Countless golden and iron laws weave together a huge group made of contracts and transactions, vowing to clear all obstacles to her goal.

On the wide Han River waterway from Xiangyang to Xicheng, dozens of large fighting ships cut through the waves and sailed against the current. Hundreds of sailing boats were scattered all over the place, clustering large battleships among them.

As soon as Miss Xie sent a letter, the Dajiang navy stationed in Chaohu readily agreed and traveled all the way to Jingzhou to serve her.

This is a noble right that even the emperor does not have.

In the center of the huge fleet is a huge ship shaped like a giant whale. The female walls of the beams are arranged vertically on it, with war flags and flags inserted sideways, and gold drums and silver hammers are gorgeous and majestic. The huge sail raised by the building boat covers the sky and the sun, like an eagle with huge wings spread.

In the top cabin of the building ship, a small military meeting was being held.

"According to the report from the Xuanzhong Guard Flying Cavalry two days ago, the Vulcan Cult members from the Jingzhou General Altar came out in full force to sneak attack and occupy Xunyang at night."

Xiao Jin pointed to the small dot in front of the waterway on the map, which represented Xunyang County.

"But the strange thing is that after they entered Xunyang County, they did not burn, kill or loot. Instead, they stayed in place and took over the defense, without harming the people there."

"It's unclear what their purpose was."

Xie Lingyuan, who was looking at the scenery outside the window, sneered sarcastically:

"What else can we do? It's just to tie our hands and feet."

Covering the girl's curvy figure is a long skirt of sky-blue chiffon. The moon-white tassels around her waist are floating but pure, as beautiful as a hibiscus emerging from the water.

"They believe that as long as the people are in the city, we cannot use large-scale siege weapons. And if we cannot recover Xunyang City as soon as possible, public opinion will become rampant. Before long, the Zhou army will be incompetent and the border troops will be lazy and lazy. Rumors of corruption will spread to the court, and it will be very troublesome for us to close up. "

Tao Yunjiang had been with Tao Yan since he was a child. He was familiar with the art of war and had seen many battles commanded by the old general. Naturally, he could see the flaws in this plan at a glance.

"What if we attack their stronghold hidden in the mountains first?"

Tao Yunjiang clicked on the red dot made of cinnabar, which represented the location of the Vulcan Cult's headquarters.

"Stop the boat at the sandy mouth in front. I will lead a team of elite soldiers to bypass the mountain path and flank the Demon Sect stronghold from the cliff behind Xunyang City. Their arrangement in Xunyang City will also be destroyed without any attack. ”

Xie Lingyuan shook his head slightly: "This road is difficult and difficult. It requires spiritual pressure to be endured throughout the entire journey. It is a huge drain on the soldiers' physical strength and the supplies cannot keep up. The entire plan is too risky and should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary."

Tao Yunjiang was not discouraged, but continued: "What Lingwan said makes sense. I have another plan."

"Our number is much greater than the number of members of the Vulcan Cult in Jingzhou General Altar. They won't be able to get more reinforcements for a while, so we can take advantage of this."

"Use all troops to surround Xunyang County without attacking. At the same time, gather elite forces to bypass the city wall and directly destroy the demon sect's stronghold hidden on the back mountain. After returning, attack the enemies in the city."

Xie Lingwan still shook her head.

"According to pessimistic estimates, there may be three sixth-level cultivators of the Vulcan Cult, which is almost equal to our total high-level combat power. We are not sure whether there are high-level cultivators of the Vulcan Cult in Xunyang City,"

"I don't know the art of war, but I know business. When the movements of our enemies are unclear, you must not spread your power into two areas."

"In this case, we must not divide our forces."

Xiao Jin couldn't help it any longer: "Even if there are enemy level 6 monks in Xunyang City, as long as Xuan Zhongwei and Changyuan Iron Guard can help us delay enough time until we return to the army, we will not be able to obtain it. victory?"

"But many people will die, and they are all elite soldiers and generals who have experienced hundreds of battles. If they die today, I don't know how long it will take to replace them."

Xie Lingyuan said coldly.

Xiao Jin was also choked and speechless for a while.

Tao Yunjiang pursed his lips and asked unwillingly, "Lingwan, do you have any plan?"

"They have made full preparations and have a smart strategy. If we don't want to be led by them, we have no choice. If we want to break the situation, we have to get in first."

"There is only one way to minimize the loss..."

The girl's slender fingertips focused heavily on the dot, and her soft voice was like beads falling on a jade plate.

"Attack Xunyang."

There was a brief silence.

"No, I don't agree."

Tao Yunjiang frowned and refused immediately.

"Are you crazy, Xie Lingwan? Don't you know how many people will die like this?"

Xiao Jin was also a little unbelievable.

Storming a city requires heavy weapons, and when trebuchets and three-bow crossbows are in place, the losses of war can no longer be controlled artificially.

She was just ruthless about Fang Weihan, not really treating human life as nothing. She couldn't accept Xie Lingwan's crazy proposal for a while.

"We have no choice."

Xie Lingyuan said lightly.

"With enough supplies for the return journey, the fleet's supplies can only last another half month, and then it must return. In order to win quickly, we can only choose the fastest solution."

"Other methods can't guarantee that the Vulcan Cult will have a back-up, and the risk is too high. But this is the only method, they absolutely have no back-up. This is the safest way."

Tao Yunjiang's brows furrowed even more: "But in that case, what will happen to the tens of thousands of people in the city?" "The battle report stated that this was the work of the Vulcan Cult and has nothing to do with us."

The girl stated coldly and ruthlessly.

"During the siege, I will order the siege troops to avoid residential areas as much as possible. At the same time, if you are willing, you can also restrain the soldiers not to disturb the people and minimize the casualties of the people."

"But these people didn't have to die."

Tao Yunjiang bit his lip tightly and said persistently.

Fang Weihan talks about Xie Lingwan, the calculating but cold and ruthless eldest lady of the aristocratic family. Her mysterious veil was not lifted until today, and her true appearance was revealed in front of Tao Yunjiang.

It wasn't until today that she suddenly realized that Xie Lingwan had always had two faces. One is a gentle and harmless orchid, while the other...is an indifferent superior who kills without blood.

"People don't have to die, but at what cost?"

Xie Lingyuan asked expressionlessly.

"Exchanging the lives of our elite soldiers for the lives of common people, right?"

"This is the responsibility of a powerful national army, but it is not the responsibility of a national army like the Great Zhou Dynasty. This empire is not worthy of their sacrifice. Including the Changyuan Iron Guards, they may have entered the army because of their passion and feelings for their family and country. After decades of hard work, I saw the status of soldiers in this society and realized that all soldiers fight for military pay."

"The people we saved with blood and money are the people of Xunyang, the people under the rule of the Jingzhou family. How much will they contribute to our alliance front? Since it is insignificant, then why should we make sacrifices for no reason? ?”

Tao Yunjiang was speechless by her words.

"I...I believe I can reduce their casualties..."

The girl clenched her fists, and then loosened them weakly.

"Yun Jiang, do you think those Changyuan Iron Guards are really willing to go with you?"

Xie Lingyuan moved and stopped beside Tao Yunjiang.

"This is what you want to do, not what your soldiers want to do. As a general, you cannot ignore the demands of the soldiers because you only consider your own personal feelings. The captain who crashes into the reef at the helm will definitely be abandoned by the sailors ”

The girl's words were cold and realistic, hurting Tao Yunjiang's heart all the time.

Seeing her dazed look, Xie Lingwan couldn't bear it and couldn't help but soften her tone slightly.

"Yun Jiang, I know it's hard for you to accept the way I do things, but I think you should try to understand."

"This is the most realistic solution, and before we have the power to change reality, we can only adapt to the rules it sets for us."

Xie Lingwan reached out her hand, hugged her gently, and walked away without looking back.

Idle's cold voice echoed in the cabin:
"Three days later, the ship docked at Xunyang Wharf, and the attack on the city began immediately."

Tao Yunjiang stood silently, saying nothing, feeling extremely disappointed.

Xiao Jin felt very distressed when he saw it.

She came over and took Tao Yunjiang's arm: "Xie Lingwan has such a bad temper. She doesn't show any mercy at all when doing business, and she doesn't recognize family members. She is like a noble man in the sky. Don't be as knowledgeable as her." ”

"Xiao Jin... do you think so too?"

Tao Yunjiang tilted his head and asked softly.

"Huh? What?"

Xiao Jin didn't react for a while.

"Even...you also think that there is no need to save those people?"

"Of course not, those are human lives."

Xiao Jin shook his head decisively and expressed his opinion.

"But I have to admit that what Xie Lingwan said makes some sense... We can't lose sight of the big picture because of small things. The mission is the most important thing, and the lives of the people can only be ranked second."

"Those people from the Vulcan Cult... must die. For this purpose, we can do whatever it takes."

Tao Yunjiang: "..."

She slowly lowered her head, and when she raised it again, she had the same smile as usual.

"I see."

Xiao Jin stared at her for a long time, and then laughed happily.

"That's right...be happy. Nothing in this world is more important than being happy...except for Brother Fang's matter."

"Let's go? I heard that we will have fish for lunch today?"

"Ah."

Tao Yunjiang held the Qicang Sword tightly in his hand and glanced at the map on the table.

If... Fang Weihan was here, what would he do?

The girl couldn't help but think of it.

"boom."

The wooden door closes.

"Ow..."

Master, have you improved your skills in Wuhua Xingyin again? They still haven't noticed you...

The little phoenix poked its head out from the girl's shoulder and called out lazily.

Wen Zhexue flicked its head.

She turned her palm over, and a bright and magnificent scene of mountains and rivers appeared out of thin air, spreading out a brilliant galaxy in the virtual space.

The girl's spiritual thoughts moved slightly, and the pattern of the river map changed several times, and finally locked on a few flickering light spots.

Wen Zhexue looked at these three brighter light spots, feeling a little puzzled.

People with great luck tend to exclude each other, so it's a miracle that Fang Weihan can bring them together. Due to the repulsive fate, constant quarrels should be the norm, but they were able to maintain harmony for such a long time.

There was indeed a quarrel today, but...it was obviously a quarrel and a disagreement, so why were their respective fortunes brighter?

Wen Zhexue didn't understand. Master didn't tell her this, and there wasn't even a page of notes in the complicated star treatise.

She couldn't figure it out.

Maybe... when I can figure it out, I won't make my junior brother angry...

The girl silently thought about it for no reason.

"Ow?"

Master, how long will it take for Junior Brother to come out?

"Fifteen days."

The girl answered softly.

She was in the outside world and could easily observe that the self-contained small world could last for up to fifteen days.

Due to chance, the flow of time in the small world must be faster than outside. I don’t know how long the junior brother has passed inside.
Can one break through in cultivation...

Presumably if everything goes well, by the time this happens, Junior Brother will not come out yet, right?

"You go pick him up then."

The girl knocked Phoenix on the head.

"Ow!"

Wrap it up on Fengfeng!

Little Phoenix agreed immediately.
