Chapter 175: People gather easily, but their hearts are hard to change

November, 30th.

At the end of the Yin hour, when it was getting light, the camp began to get busy.

Geng Xuan, who had just fallen asleep, was awakened by the noise in the camp and got up and left the tent.

From a distance, they could see a group of people gathered in the area specially allocated for their stationing and in the area where Qingyuanji's troops were stationed, and they seemed to be arguing about something.

Geng Xuan walked over and saw that Feng Yu, Ding Fuquan, Luo Qing, Wang Xun and other new and old leaders of the Giant Bear Gang were all there.

The other members of the Giant Bear Gang, while doing their own things, were also watching from afar.

Although Feng Yu, Ding Fuquan, Luo Qing and others were present, it was only Hong Quan who came forward to negotiate with the Qingyuanji people and caused a dispute.

The one who spoke was mainly Hong Quan, who looked angry.

The few people from Qingyuanji on the opposite side looked ashamed, angry, indignant, or disapproving under his endless stream of words that were as sharp as swords.

Occasionally, when Hong Quan's words were harsh, or touched their sore spots or hurt their reputation, they would also speak back and make a few sarcastic remarks.

However, most of the time, it was Hong Quan who spoke alone.

Judging from the situation alone, Hong Quan was fighting against many opponents and was clearly winning.

But in terms of actual results, the opponent seemed to be completely unaffected by his damage.

The people on the opposite side chose to swallow their anger simply because there was a large group of people standing behind Hong Quan, making him more powerful in numbers.

After listening to a few sentences, Geng Xuan roughly understood the reason for the dispute between the two parties.

But when he saw Feng Yu looking at him, he signaled with his eyes and called Feng Yu over.

Feng Yu quickly came to Geng Xuan, crossed his arms and saluted, "Boss, did I wake you up?"

Geng Xuan waved his hand and walked in another direction.

He did not go to the place where Hong Quan and the people from Qingyuanji were arguing to join in the fun.

After walking a few steps, I saw an area with steam rising and the aroma of rice in the air. It turned out to be a group of Giant Bear Gang members who were cooking.

The two walked through the area and came to the northern edge of the camp.

If Wu Yi led his men to attack, this place would be the first to bear the brunt of Wu Yi's attack.

Along the way, with Feng Yu's explanation, Geng Xuan also understood the reason why Hong Quan was angry and quarreled with several people from Qingyuan Group.

Since re-establishing his position in the Giant Bear Gang, Hong Quan's behavioral norms and way of thinking have actively moved closer to those of a soldier.

He not only used this method to urge himself, but also used the same method to demand and restrain the members of the Giant Bear Gang.

Especially during this clash with the Wu family, Hong Quan repeatedly instilled this concept within the gang.

This was a military operation that was as clear as day.

All gang members must treat this with the utmost seriousness.

It cannot be simply regarded as a fight between two forces involving more than a thousand people.

During this period, all gang members must regard themselves as soldiers and strictly restrain themselves according to military standards.

The Giant Bear Gang, with more than 400 people, must be regarded as an army that follows orders and has clear military regulations and orders to constrain and regulate it, rather than the collective activities of hundreds of gang members.

Although, in the past one or two hundred years since Yuanzhou gave up its martial arts, this kind of atmosphere has long disappeared in Yuanzhou, and people's thinking has become more selfish and casual.

But everyone is also aware of the situation in the other eight states.

No matter what the idea is, you can always do it if you learn it in a similar way.

For example, what to do when marching.

How to arrange scouts and sentries when a large army is marching.

What to do when camping.

Cooking, overnight stay...

From walking to sitting and lying, from eating to defecating and sleeping...

When it comes to every aspect, there must be particularness, rules and regulations.

Including Hong Quan himself, everyone knew this knowledge only through hearsay and only had a vague understanding of it.

But whether you understand it or not, and whether you can do it or not is another thing.

Whether to do it or not is another matter.

Geng Xuan expressed his support for Hong Quan's opinion and encouraged him to go ahead with it boldly.

Feng Yu, Luo Qing and others naturally had no objections.

He even took the initiative to state that during the military operation, Hong Quan would have the first say in all arrangements related to combat and military affairs.

Even if there are contents that conflict with gang rules, as long as there are reasons and evidence, daily gang rules can give way to military rules and orders.

With such support, Hong Quan naturally got to work vigorously.

Before the sleepover last night.

How to arrange the scouts?

How do we take turns on duty?

How to guard against night attacks;
How to ensure that everyone gets as much rest as possible while ensuring the alertness of the entire camp;

Who will prepare the meal and when will it start...

After communicating with Feng Yu and others, Hong Quan made careful arrangements.

Because the area allocated by Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others to the Giant Bear Gang is adjacent on one side to the camp where more than 400 people recruited from Qingyuanji were stationed.

Firstly, we are all companions fighting side by side.

Secondly, if the Giant Bear Gang deploys too many guard forces on this line, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Another thing is that the Giant Bear Gang has limited manpower, and reducing some arrangements on this line will have a significant strengthening effect in other directions.

So, Hong Quan found the people who were responsible for the night duty arrangements at Qingyuanji, who were the people who had just stood opposite Hong Quan.

It was proposed that both parties send personnel to the vicinity of this area and arrange them to work on night shifts in different sections.

After listening to Hong Quan's suggestion, several people didn't say much and agreed immediately.

But just now Hong Quan had a few words with several of his own people who were on night shift in this area, and he was furious.

As for Qingyuanji, which promised everything, they didn't even arrange for a ghost, let alone a person!

If the enemy happens to attack from this direction at night, they can kill them directly when they are completely unprepared.

The key point is that this was not due to his lack of consideration, but rather the negligence of the "friendly forces"!
If you don't cooperate, don't agree to it at that time. We will naturally make arrangements and there will never be such a fatal loophole.

Now that you have agreed, you must fulfill your duties conscientiously.

He agreed readily, but ended up doing nothing.

Aren’t you guys cheating people?
Or the kind that would pit people to death!

Those people from Qingyuan Group also felt puzzled, and even felt that Hong Quan was looking for trouble and making trouble out of nothing.

You are using chicken feathers as a token of authority, and people cannot say anything to your face, so they can just coax you verbally and get you to cooperate.

As a result, you really think you are a big shot and pick them up and scold them as if they were your grandsons.

Isn't that too much of a compliment to you?!
And this is not what makes Hong Quan most angry.

According to reports from some scouts near the Qingyuanji camp, none of the night shift guards at Qingyuanji were in place.

Last night, while camping overnight, many people either sneaked or blatantly walked out of the Qingyuanji camp area and went deep into the wilderness.

There were several directions to choose from, and there was no cover at all, going straight to the north.

——Fifteen miles to the north is the camp where Wu Yi and his 1,500 men are stationed.

If this isn't to tip off Wu Yi, there must be something fishy going on!

Within an hour or two, more figures returned and entered the Qingyuanji camp.

However, due to the darkness of the night and the long distance, the Giant Bear Gang's scouts only knew that people were coming in and out, but they could not see their appearance clearly.

In addition, the two parties were very unfamiliar with each other and had never had any contact with each other before.

Therefore, the Giant Bear Gang’s scouts had no idea who had sneaked out of the camp at night.

Hong Quan seized on this point and started to attack them.

Is there no rules at all in your camp? Is it a toilet?

Come when you want and leave when you want!
Now I don’t want anything else. You just need to hand over the person who sneaked out of the camp last night and informed Wu Yi!
The people on the opposite side all looked embarrassed.

This means that we will meet each other sooner or later, so let’s forgive others when we can and don’t be so aggressive in doing things, okay?
You will have no friends if you take things so seriously!
Will you die if you are more gentle and tactful in your life and work?
That person said, we are all brothers in daily life.

Brothers, we should be loyal to each other.

You want me to hand over someone now? Do you think I'm a villain who would betray my brothers?

If you really can't stand it, you can ask Master Qi to remove me, or just drive me back to Qingyuanji.

Then, how about letting Captain Hong take charge of all the affairs of our camp as well?
Why are you glaring at me? Are you going to enforce military law on me?

Are you going to chop off my head? Come here, my neck is right here, chop it here, chop it accurately, and today I will give you my head to kick like a ball!
Another one came out to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, Captain Hong, the situation is not as serious as you say."

What about tipping off? You can't just talk about things without evidence.

Since we have received the order from Master Qi to be recruited, what else is there to say? Let's fight with those bastards from TN's Anleji and Baiyuanji!
I was unlucky and my head fell off, but it's just a scar the size of a bowl, no big deal!

Inform Wu Yi?

Just ask anyone if I, XX, have ever licked the ass of any member of the Wu family in my life!
Maybe he couldn't sleep at night, so he went out to pee, poop, and get some fresh air. This is normal.

You know the situation in this camp. There is no good food to eat, no good sleep to sleep, and no drinking allowed. Normally, everyone is used to living a carefree life. How could they have suffered such torture?
While everyone else is resting, quietly go out for some fresh air. It's human nature and we all understand.

Everyone has a different attitude, and the words they say are all irritating in their own way.

But in the final analysis, it is impossible to hand over the person.

Even if you remove me or even kill me, I won't be able to hand over the people.

Some people even said it directly, "You ask us to hand over the person, but we don't know anyone who has gone out."

After all, you all saw it. We didn't arrange any people to be on night duty at night. We don't know who sneaked out at night and came back at night. This is normal, isn't it?

……

At the beginning, Hong Quan's emotions were relatively stable.

Try to stick to the facts and communicate.

But these people either keep silent, or when they speak, what they say is more irritating than the last.

By the end, Hong Quan was basically left with only his emotions to express.

On the contrary, the guys on the opposite side who had their faces sprayed with saliva by him were very "slick" and did not suffer any harm at all.

One of them even asked bluntly, "Are you done?"

I got a stomachache from eating last night and I need to find a place to take a shit. How about Captain Hong come with me?
"..."

Hong Quan took a deep breath, turned around and left without saying another word.

Behind him, some people had expressionless faces, some were daydreaming, some had sarcastic looks on their faces, and some were mocking and disdainful.

Coming in front of Geng Xuan and Feng Yu, Hong Quan tried hard to suppress his anger and asked politely:

"Boss, deputy boss."

Geng Xuan nodded and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Quan couldn't help but twitch his face and shook his head:
"There is no communication. There is no communication at all."

Having said this, the emotions that he had been suppressing deep in his heart surged up again.

He couldn't help but emphasize:
"It's useless to talk to them about anything, they can only be killed.

If we don't kill those who are stubborn, stubborn and self-righteous, we will kill them ruthlessly until they are afraid from the bottom of their hearts.

No one listened to anything I said.”

Having said that, he looked towards Geng Xuan with eyes full of hope.

For the first time, he had a strong expectation for his gang leader's sudden rise to the power of drawing his sword and killing without restraint.

Geng Xuan understood Hong Quan's look, but did not give him the response he wanted.

Just asking:
"Do you have any suggestions for the current situation?"

Hong Quan thought for a moment and said:
“It’s impossible to count on them.

If you ask me for my opinion, my opinion is that we should take over the scouting rights of the entire camp.

We don't need to care about the situations in their respective camps of Qingyuanji and Santongji.

But you will no longer be able to enter and leave the camp as you please as you do now."

Geng Xuan shook his head and said:
"There are more than 900 practitioners recruited into this camp through the two rounds of Santongji and Qingyuanji, right?

If we do what you say, they will start a riot on the spot.

There might even be a direct conflict with our people."

If they don't fight with Wu Yi's troops, but instead fight among their own people first, it will become a black humor.

Hong Quan said:
"That's perfect, if anyone makes trouble we can catch them and kill them immediately.

In fact, many people only talk big, but when they know that the knife will really fall on their necks, they will be afraid and become well-behaved and honest.

Now they are so unruly and undisciplined, most of them are spoiled!"

Geng Xuan did not refute Hong Quan's point of view and continued:
“Besides, there are only about 400 people in our Giant Bear Gang.

Among them, more than half had just joined the gang yesterday.

Many of them were still captives before joining the gang yesterday.

You should know how complicated the source is.

Now, if we detain them together and keep an eye on them, everything will be relatively orderly.

But if they are dispersed, are you sure that they will perform better than those in Santongji and Qingyuanji?"

Having said this, Geng Xuan looked at Hong Quan, as if asking, do you have any misunderstanding about the level of our Giant Bear Gang members?

Do you really think that the honesty and obedience they are showing now are the true expressions from their hearts?

"Uh……"

Hong Quan was speechless.

After a while, he said unwillingly:
“But we can’t just let it go like this, right?

Such a big thing concerns the life and death of so many people.

No one took it seriously, just like a child's play.

Do you really think we are here to fight?!"

Geng Xuan looked at Hong Quan and did not respond to his question. Instead, he asked:
"Do you think this situation is unique to Qingyuan Collection and Santong Collection?"

Hong Quan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Geng Xuan and slowly said:

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"What do you think the situation will be like with Wu Yi?
Will it be better than ours?" Geng Xuan asked.

Hong Quan thought about it carefully and shook his head:
“I think the situation over there in Wuyi won’t be any better than ours.

I am not very clear about the situation of Anleji, but I know a lot about Baiyuanji.

This time, Wu Yi put a knife directly on their waists and forced them to board Wu Yi's boat.

It was not easy for Wu Yinen to gather them together and create Baiyuanji.

They were already dissatisfied, and if Wu Yi's management was too strict, they might just explode.

Wu Yi now wants to keep them under control, relying on both intimidation and coaxing. Naturally, he dares not enforce overly strict military rules and orders.

...I don’t know about those mercenaries who came from Yuanjing.

However, since they were paid to do the job, Wu Yineng had fewer means to use against them and had less control over them.

If he suppresses them a little too hard, and they don't meet his expectations and feel aggrieved, they will just walk away. What can Wu Yi do to them?
Therefore, I guess those mercenaries will not be more disciplined than those in Anleji and Baiyuanji."

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "Do you think Wu Yi can organize an effective night attack under such circumstances?"

Hong Quan shook his head and said:
“In theory, it’s unlikely.

Maybe half of it will run away halfway.

And if they find out that we are well prepared, I don’t think many people would risk their lives to fight us head-on.”

Having said that, Hong Quan looked at Geng Xuan, his face showing an unprecedented seriousness.

"...But, Boss, this is just my wishful thinking.

What if Wu Yi made such a decision?
What if he has an elite force under his command that is good at and dares to launch night attacks?
We cannot only consider the best case scenario, we must also consider the worst case scenario, and even make adequate preparations and precautions for it.

Don't leave anything to chance.

Being prepared for night attacks is a basic requirement for camping in the wild!
This cannot be overemphasized.

We must not slack off just because we think the enemy won't attack at night.

What if?
What if this is just a false impression created by the enemy? The fatal blow may be hidden in it!"

Geng Xuan quickly raised his hand and said soothingly:
“What you said makes a lot of sense, and I agree with it.

Not only do I approve, I also support it!

However, the reality is here.

You should also understand that this is not something that can be solved overnight.

I support you in building the Giant Bear Gang according to the idea of a regular army, but you must also fully consider the objective reality. "

At this point, seeing that Hong Quan was about to say something, Geng Xuan quickly said:
"I'll give you another task. On the premise of taking care of our own affairs, you can arrange for people to pay more attention to the camps in Qingyuanji and Santongji.

See who likes to come in and out for no reason... No need to stop them, just write them down.

Okay, that's it."

Feng Yu, who was standing next to him, looked at Hong Quan, who was completely absorbed in the "role-playing" and then at Geng Xuan, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

After sending Hong Quan away, Geng Xuan looked at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat and he quickly stood up straight. Unconsciously, he actually took on a little bit of military spirit.

Geng Xuan said: "I will also assign you a task."

"Master, you say."

Geng Xuan said, "Hurry up and prepare some headbands."

As he spoke, Geng Xuan showed Feng Yu the pure gold Giant Bear Gang's gold badge on his waist and the cute little bear engraved on it. "If possible, try to put our Giant Bear Gang's logo on it as well."

"Boss, what is this headband?" Feng Yu showed a puzzled look in his eyes.

“Oh, it’s just a band that you can wrap around your forehead.

It’s similar to a headscarf, but with less material.”

"What are you doing?" Feng Yu suddenly realized, a little surprised, and asked thoughtfully.

Geng Xuan said:
"You've seen the situation. I'm worried that if we just go into battle like this, it will soon become chaos.

We didn't know each other, so it would be a bit funny if we teamed up with the enemy to kill our own people.

So, I have to make a distinction between them.

At least, they should be able to distinguish between friend and foe when they start to kill."

Feng Yu understood and said:
"So, we need to choose a striking color... What color do you think is better?

White? Red? Green? Yellow? ... or black?"

Geng Xuan opened his mouth, but finally said, "I think it's all fine. You can do it as you like."

"Then let's use red. Even if there's blood, people won't be confused." Feng Yu said.

"……Fine."

"How much do you need to prepare?" Feng Yu asked again.

Geng Xuan said, "Let's prepare as much as possible. We have more than 400 gang members, Qingyuanji and Santongji have more than 900 people combined, and Fan Hongsheng and his gang have 1,000 people. We must at least make sure everyone has one."

Then we need to prepare at least 2,500 copies to be barely enough.

Feng Yu opened his mouth. This was far more than he had expected.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, "It's almost dawn, there's no time left, right?"

Because according to the estimates of Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others, as soon as daybreak comes, Wu Yi's 1,500 men will attack.

In other words, the 1,000 people that Fan Hongsheng and others brought from Bajiafang are likely to miss the trip.

Geng Xuan did not explain anything about this, but just said:
"You should prepare first. Even if it doesn't come in handy this time, it will still be useful next time.

...You can let Luo Qing handle this matter, he should be more familiar with this aspect."

After Feng Yu received the task and left quickly, Geng Xuan prepared to return to the tent to continue his training.

For him, even at this time, the cost-effectiveness of cultivation far exceeds other options.

At this moment, Geng Xuan suddenly looked into the distance.

In the northern wilderness, several fast horses were seen approaching the camp rapidly.

The two people in the lead were Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng.

The two men who were riding their horses quickly towards the camp seemed to have seen Geng Xuan as well.

Soon he urged his horse to gallop towards him.

When Geng Xuan got closer, he saw that the two men had serious expressions on their faces, so he asked curiously:

"What's the matter with you two?"

Fang Jintang said, "Just now, while everyone was cooking, I invited Master Qi to go to the north to take a look."

"So, what did you see? Wu Yi led his men to kill us?"

If that were the case, the two of them shouldn't have such expressions.

Because according to everyone's prediction, this is a normal development and is not worth making a fuss about.

Fang Jintang shook his head and said, "No movement."

He paused and emphasized, "We went to Wu Yi's camp and saw nothing happening!"

According to their speculation, Wu Yi would be impatient to take action as soon as daybreak.

It is now past the Yin hour.

Logically speaking, the camp opposite should have been busy a long time ago, and should even be ready to set off at any time.

There was no movement at all. In the eyes of Fang Jintang and others, this was the biggest anomaly.

After hearing Fang Jintang's words, Geng Xuan's heart was moved.

I thought that this was most likely the unexpected change caused by the 65 points of bad luck that dissipated after the Giant Bear Gang recruited new members last night.

Geng Xuan asked: "Did Wu Yi lead his men to withdraw?"

Fang Jintang shook his head and said:

“People have not been evacuated, and some normal activities are still going on.

However, everyone acted very casual and relaxed, and did not make any preparations before the war.

It's as if they are not here to fight us, but to have a picnic."

Geng Xuan nodded and asked, "Have you come closer to observe?"

Fang Jintang shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

Observe from a distance, and even if they are discovered, they can retreat calmly with their abilities.

But if you get too close to observe and accidentally fall into the enemy's encirclement, there is a high possibility that you will never come back.

"Then let's go and take a look together." Geng Xuan said to the two of them.

"Ah good."

Although a little surprised, Fang Jintang, who had seen Su Ruiliang's abilities, nodded immediately.

If "Su Ruiliang" was with him, he would not be afraid to investigate more thoroughly.

……

Just as Geng Xuan, Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others rode their horses deep into the wilderness north of the camp and quickly approached the camp where Wu Yi and others were stationed.

In the camp fifteen miles north.

Since the beginning of the first hour, Wu Yi, who had no desire to sleep, sat alone in the tent after personally receiving several waves of sneaky and hidden people.

After that, Wu Hui reported off-book many times, saying that someone had sneaked into the vicinity of the camp again, saying that they had top-secret information about Santongji and Qingyuanji and wanted to tell him in person.

Wu Yi did not show up in person again, but just told Wu Hui to meet him, and ordered his trusted men to guard the camp to prevent some bad news from spreading in the camp.

Wu Yi just sat there in the tent.

In his eyes, which no one could see, there was sometimes hatred and madness, and sometimes pain and despair.

He was like a ferocious beast with endless hatred and ferocity in its body that it wanted to vent, but in the end found itself fallen into a trap that the hunter had dug long ago and was in a desperate situation.

Compared to the high spirits and ambitions a month ago.

At this moment, Wu Yi's face was full of wrinkles, and his face looked pale and haggard.

He looks more than ten years older.

Now he is completely supported by the fire in his chest.

In the dark tent, Wu Yi just sat there motionless.

time flies.

Suddenly, his body's strong instinct caused his eyelids to twitch uncontrollably.

After his body stiffened for a moment, Wu Yi slowly raised his head.

The door curtain of the tent had returned to normal except for one corner which was still swaying slightly.

In front of Wu Yi, in the center of the tent which was originally empty, a person appeared without anyone noticing.

"Who are you? ...'Su-Rui-Liang'?"

Wu Yi questioned the person in the tent, then was stunned for a moment and uttered the name that had drilled into his ears countless times tonight, and even drilled into his heart with a piercing poison.

A chuckle.

"Brother Wu, have you forgotten me so quickly?"

The figure that he could not see clearly suddenly smiled, and there was a warmth in his words that warmed his heart.

The next moment, there was a flash of light, and the extinguished oil lamp was lit by that person.

A face that Wu Yi had only seen once but left a deep impression on him appeared in front of him.

The moment he saw this person clearly, Wu Yi's pupils shrank sharply and he cried out in a lost voice: "Xiang Ling!"

At this moment, he no longer maintained outward respect and called her by her name.

Xiang Ling looked at Wu Yi with concern on his face, and a hint of pity in his concern, and sighed softly:
"Brother Wu, please accept my condolences for the letter."

Wu Yi, who was originally immersed in despair, now had a gleam in his eyes.

He stared at Xiang Ling closely and said, "Right Envoy Xiang, you are visiting me now, so you must have some good news for me, right?"

Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wu Yi and praised: "It seems that brother has not been blinded by hatred."

Wu Yi did not respond, but just looked at him with burning eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiang Ling left.

Wu Yi was the only one left in the tent again.

This time, he just sat there for a while and then strode out of his tent.

At this moment, sleepy figures were being awakened from their tents, with dissatisfaction and resentment on their faces due to lack of sleep.

He was still muttering to himself, as if complaining or cursing.

When they saw Wu Yi suddenly appear, they were all startled and quickly stood in line.

Wu Yi didn't care about this kind of emotional outburst at all, and waved to call Wu Hui who was busy everywhere.

"Brother." Wu Hui came closer with a worried look on his face.

——He had learned about the situation on the other side from the "visitors" who came one after another, and also knew the existence of the mastermind "Su Ruiliang".

Wu Yi patted him on the shoulder heavily, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"Brother?!" Wu Hui asked with curiosity on his face.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing that Su Ruiliang jumped out at this time!
Don't hide this news from everyone. If they hear it from somewhere else, who knows how it will spread.

You are like this…” Wu Yi whispered to Wu Hui.

……

When Geng Xuan, Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and several other riders arrived outside the camp where Wu Yi and others were stationed, they were about to look inside.

What they saw before them stunned them.

Outside the entrance of the camp, there was an open space full of people.

From time to time, there were cheers, boos, and laughter coming from the crowd.

The crowd formed a big circle.

In the center of the circle, five practitioners were teaming up to fight against a person who was at the marrow refining realm.

The five people who formed a team all had the cultivation level of Bone Refining Realm.

But rather than saying that the five of them were fighting with the man in the Marrow Refining Realm, it would be more accurate to say that they were being trained by him alone.

From time to time, someone would be kicked in the buttocks and fall to the ground, or stumble and fly out, sprawled out.

It can be said that it was a complete embarrassment.

But the five of them were not at all ashamed or angry. They turned over and immediately launched a new round of siege against the Marrow Refining Realm cultivator.

These practitioners who came from Yuanzhou did not like being forced to restrain themselves.

But they also knew very well that it was a rare thing to have a Marrow Refining Realm sparring partner, who could help them improve the team's coordination without having to worry about the other party making a fatal move.

Outside the battle circle, the onlookers were also fascinated by the scene.

At this moment, someone brought out a huge steamer that was still steaming from the camp and delivered the soft steamed cakes that had just come out of the pot and seemed to still emit the aroma of wheat to the hands of the spectators.

Seeing such an outrageous scene, Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others widened their eyes, feeling extremely unbelievable.

Is this the atmosphere that should be there when a war is about to begin? !
Wu Yi led 1,500 men and rushed out of Baiyuanji with murderous intent and came to the vicinity of Qingyuanji. Could it be that they were just out of boredom and came here for a picnic and camping?
Fang Jintang looked at the overly relaxed scene with gloomy eyes, and suddenly said:

"Boss Su, tell me, if you lead your Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to attack them at this time, what will happen to these people?"

Geng Xuan looked in one direction and said with a smile: "It's not that easy."

Fang Jintang followed Geng Xuan's gaze, raised his eyes and remained silent.

There, there were several cultivators who were also riding on Xuanyou horses, watching them from afar with undisguised hostility and vigilance.

They did not rush towards them on a few Xuanyou horses, but just watched from a distance.

But Fang Jintang knew very well that as long as they were there, the assumption he had just mentioned would not hold true.

Because there is more than one Xuanyou cavalry scattered in the wilderness, vigilantly monitoring any movement around them.

Instead, they are spread out in a net-like manner across this vast wilderness.

No matter what means they use, they will be known by these Xuanyou cavalry before they reach the camp, and they will prepare for countermeasures in advance.

After taking a few glances from afar, Geng Xuan did not have the "sentimental" heart of Fang Jintang, Qi Mingcheng and others. Instead, he turned his horse around and rode back quickly.

"Boss Su!"

Fang Jintang quickly rode his horse to catch up, asking for advice:

"Wu Yi won't attack us now, what should we do now?"

"Of course, we should seize the time and practice hard." Geng Xuan replied.

"Uh...hehe."

Fang Jintang felt that "Boss Su" had made a joke that was not funny, but he still laughed dryly and asked:

"Maybe he realizes that he will suffer if he attacks proactively, so he wants to wait for us to attack them proactively?"

Geng Xuan asked: "Will we take the initiative to attack?"

"of course not."

Fang Jintang said as a matter of course:
"It's him who's anxious for revenge, not us.

Not to mention the people in Anleji and Baiyuanji, those mercenaries who came from Yuanjing burned a lot of silver every day.

No matter what tricks he plays, when his money is all gone, we won't stay with him for another day!"

"That's it."

After returning to the camp, Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng wanted to pull "Su Ruiliang" aside to discuss it in detail.

As a result, the other party simply ignored the challenge and went straight back to their own camp.

The two thought that there had been enough troubles and there would be no more "new things" to irritate them.

But soon, they got the news and rushed out of the tent and came to the entrance of the Giant Bear Gang's camp.

Everyone in the Giant Bear Gang has packed their things and is ready to set off at any time.

When the two saw this scene, they were so frightened that they almost died.

I thought to myself, is this "Su Ruiliang" going to run away?

He couldn't possibly do such a heartless thing, could he?

You pushed us to the point of a life-and-death struggle with Wu Yi, and now you, the "culprit", are actually trying to escape?!

Is this something a human can do?
Wu Yi has already dodged them fiercely, and it's not enough, right? !

With a somewhat devastated mood, the two found Geng Xuan who was climbing onto a Xuanyou horse.

Fang Jintang and Qi Mingcheng pulled the reins on the left and right, and asked in unison:

"Boss Su, where are you going?"

"Let's go back to Qingyuanji." Geng Xuan said.

"what?"

The two of them widened their eyes in surprise.

"Since Wu Yi has no intention of attacking, and you have no interest in attacking, why should we waste time with him in this wilderness?"

"No matter what card he wants to play, let's go back to Qingyuanji and wait for him. Isn't it good to wait for him to tire himself out?"

The two looked at each other and felt that this made sense.

But they didn't have to wait too long before they almost collapsed again.

"Su Ruiliang", who had already walked with them to the outside of Qingyuanji, did not enter Qingyuanji, but led the Giant Bear Gang to station behind Qingyuanji.

"If the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry wants to exert its greatest power, it must be in the open wilderness and cannot be confined to the market."

"Also, the enemy must not be allowed to know where it is before the attack is actually launched."

"We also cannot let the enemy know what kind of plan we are brewing and when we are going to act."

"Only in this way can we take the absolute initiative."

"Once you start, it will be as powerful as thunder and a single strike will kill you!"

After listening to his eloquent speech, the two really wanted to yell in his ear.

Isn't this what we originally suggested to you?
In the end, you didn't listen and insisted on showing your true colors.

It’s all right now. Wu Yi knows about your existence and knows that he cannot defeat you head-on, so he won’t come anymore.

Slightly slightly.

Now, you are remembering our advice!
Did you do it on purpose?

You just don't want us to win this battle too easily, right? !
At this point, the two were really scared by "Su Ruiliang's" inexplicable actions.

What's more worrying is that this guy might say something nice now, but in the blink of an eye he will run away again with the entire Giant Bear Gang.

Therefore, no matter how convincing Su Ruiliang's reasons were, they demanded that the Giant Bear Gang must be stationed in Qingyuanji.

However, considering that the market does somewhat limit the mobility of the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

Being detained in the market place all the time and under the watchful eyes of everyone, it was difficult for the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to have the effect of shocking the others.

He also agreed to "Su Ruiliang's" request that he could lead the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to roam and hide outside the market.

In order to facilitate the rest and supply of the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry, Qi Mingcheng even temporarily lent several villas south of Qingyuanji to the Giant Bear Gang, so that the Xuanyou horses could use them to rest.

After the deal was settled, Geng Xuan walked into Qingyuanji with confidence.

After settling down in the courtyard given to him alone, Geng Xuan immediately took out the guillotine from his waist.
