Start with a red name

Chapter 191: Forced conscription, the nature of beasts

"Not enough, not enough, this amount of manpower is far from enough!"

The giant bear-like man wiped his bloody mouth and spoke in a muffled voice. The sound seemed to come out of a jar, with a strange resonance.

The hearts of everyone present subconsciously shrank, as if they were afraid that their rhythm would be captured by the sound and they would become puppets of the sound.

Wu Yiqiang endured the discomfort in his heart and said respectfully:

"Please show me, sir."

The man rested his hands on his knees, where he was sitting casually cross-legged. His upper body, which had been bent over to eat, was stretched straight, almost the same height as Wu Yi who was standing in front of him.

His eyes swept across the void above Wu Yi's head, staring at a certain place in the tent, and seemed to be staring at the powerful enemy that only existed in his mind.

Just listen to him say:

"Su Ruiliang's shooting skills are too terrifying. Except for me, any one of us could be shot to death if we are within his range!"

"The tactics we originally designed are no longer feasible."

"Except for 'Su Ruiliang', the other side is just a bunch of rubbish.

But as long as he is here, we can use the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to strike directly at the enemy's heart, which is equivalent to putting our own heart under the enemy's arrow. "

"Even if we win in the end, we will have to pay a heavy price."

"Before this, we had already lost nearly a hundred cavalrymen because of our disdain for this man.

If such a loss happens again, our trip south will not only be in vain, but also a sin!"

The giant bear-like man first looked at the men on the left, whose faces looked like they were made of rough sand and stone, and then he talked about how powerful they were.

Then, he looked at Wu Yi and asked, "There are seventeen markets around Chiwu Mountain, right?"

Wu Yi nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

“The other side has mobilized the forces of two bazaars, and you have also mobilized the forces of two bazaars.

What about the remaining thirteen markets? Why is there no movement? "The man stared at Wu Yi with a puzzled look on his face.

Even though Wu Yi was eager for revenge, he had already blocked all the obstacles and cut off all his escape routes.

Facing the puzzled questioning of the "giant bear" in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he guessed a certain possibility.

He said quickly:

"My abilities are limited, and I have already used up all my strength to gather these troops from Anleji and Baiyuanji.

I don’t know the current situation of other markets.”

The man nodded, stared at Wu Yi, and slowly said:

"What do you think if I recruit 500 soldiers from each of the remaining markets?"

Wu Yi's heart tightened when his conjecture was verified, and he hurriedly said:

"Sir, didn't you say that we should keep a low profile this time? ...Will this commotion cause too much trouble?"

"Oh!"

The man did not answer, but suddenly a muffled sound was heard from the tent.

Wu Yi, who was standing in the tent, felt the ground shaking.

But the man punched the ground hard and said harshly:
"Do you think this matter can be kept low-key now?"

As he spoke, he clenched his upper and lower teeth together, as if he was biting an imaginary prey.

"Now, the only thing we need to consider is winning, and we must do everything we can to win!"

Behind this, there is actually a twist that the man has never expressed.

If they could display absolute overwhelming power, they could crush the opponent with overwhelming force.

Then they really need to be careful and keep a low profile!

But things are different now.

Before they even had their feet firmly planted, thirty percent of their men had been killed!
This was a great shame and humiliation for them, and even for the two states of Xuanyou behind them.

But precisely because of this, they don't need to have so many concerns.

They paid the price of themselves to prove this fact to the world.

"We in Xuanyou Prefecture really have no intention of plotting against Yuan Prefecture. Otherwise, we wouldn't have arranged for such a bunch of rubbish to come here, right?!"

However, for this group of people, this was a great humiliation.

But in the end, they did pay the price with themselves and gave the two states of Xuanyou a "clear name".

On the other hand, there was actually a tough guy in Yuanzhou who had the courage and ability to pull out Dong Guanhu's beard.

Well, then, wouldn't it be appropriate for the two states of Xuanyou to step forward and arrange people to confront and beat them up?
Whether it was the "Yuanzhou tough guy" being hammered flat, or the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry kicking the iron plate.

This is a good thing for other states!
Inside the man's giant bear-like body, there is a very alert and flexible mind.

This attack was certainly a serious loss to their Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

But as far as the overall environment is concerned, he doesn't need to have so many concerns.

Naturally, he didn't need to explain these dark twists and turns to Wu Yi in front of him.

He didn't need Wu Yi to understand, he just gave orders.

"Zha Luo."

On the left, a tall, sandy-yellow man with a bumpy face like a long eggplant, bald on both sides of his head except for a bald area in the middle. There was a strip of hair from the forehead to the back of the head scattered on both sides, occasionally with some small braids decorated with small ornaments. He stood up and stood in front of Wu Yi.

He placed his right hand on his heart and spoke in a particularly strange tone: "Master!"

“Select a hundred cavalrymen and move together with Wu Yi.

I have only one request, that you recruit at least 500 soldiers for me from every market.

...Don’t let go of any of the big masters or the chief masters.”

"Zhalo obeys the order!"

The eggplant-faced Zha Luo first accepted the order respectfully, then asked again:
"What if they resist?"

"Then kill him."

"Yes." Zha Luo responded without hesitation.

Seeing that he agreed straightforwardly, the bear-like man hesitated for a moment and then warned:

"However, if you can avoid killing them, try not to. You need to bring as many of them as possible here, understand? ... If you don't know how to do it, just listen to Wu Yi's advice."

As he spoke, he looked at Wu Yi and said:

"Go pick two hundred soldiers, and set out immediately after you are ready... Your most important task now is to send the troops collected from other markets to me as quickly as possible."

"……Yes."

Wu Yi paused for a moment, then gritted his teeth and decisively accepted the order.

He knew that no matter whether they won or lost this time, from now on, their Wu family would have no place to stand here, or even in the entire Yuanzhou.

Because what he was about to do had been extinct in Yuanzhou for nearly two hundred years, and it was the thing that everyone in Yuanzhou, regardless of their status, rich or poor, hated the most.

The seal that the people of Yuanzhou had put up at great cost had to be torn open by Wu Yi himself.

Wu Yi understood the consequences of his actions, but he also understood that he had no other choice now.

Therefore, he first agreed decisively, and then said:

"Sir, there are a few things I think I need to explain to you first."

As soon as he said this, Wu Yi felt the atmosphere around him become tense.

"...Speak!" The man who was like a giant bear stared at Wu Yi closely. After a few breaths, he spoke a word.

Wu Yi said quickly:
“Although there are 17 markets around here, they are divided into three parts due to the obstruction of the remaining range of Chiwu Mountain.

The area behind us is called the "Northern Eight Markets", which is home to eight markets including Anle Market and Baiyuan Market.

There are also the 'Eastern Five Collections' and the 'Southern Four Collections'. The Qingyuan Collection we mentioned earlier is one of the 'Eastern Five Collections'.

Therefore, even if we want to go to other markets to recruit soldiers, we can only go to the other six markets in the 'Northern Eight Markets'.

If they wanted to go to the other seven markets in 'Dongwuji' and 'Nansiji' to recruit troops, they would have to bypass Qingyuanji and Santongji.

Not to mention Qingyuanji, there are also Su Ruiliang's thousand-lifang soldiers lurking in Santongji, and nearly 100,000 people who have migrated from Yueluyuan.

Their force may not be strong, but if we divide our forces and take a detour, they will be enough to create many obstacles for us.

At that time, 'Su Ruiliang' will most likely take action and deliver a fatal blow!"

The man frowned and thought for a moment, then asked, "Can we cross the remaining branches of Chiwu Mountain?"

Wu Yi shook his head and said, “If you have good body skills and a good guide, a small-scale crossing is feasible.

But if the number of people reaches hundreds or even thousands, it will be very difficult.

If there were carriages and horses accompanying them, it would be completely impossible."

"...Then let's recruit soldiers from 'Beibaji' for the time being."

"Yes."

"Anything else you want to say?" This time the man asked proactively.

“If the other six markets can recruit around 500 soldiers, plus our current strength, that would be more than 4,000 people.

Food consumption will surge, and I can think of a way to deal with that.

But I have no way to deal with drugs.”

The man stared at him and said with a strange look on his face:
"Don't you still have a large stock of drugs in Anleji?"

Wu Yi said, "But didn't I already present it to you? The special envoy who contacted me only told me to put the Anle Collection in my temporary custody and transport it away when you return."

What I mean is, this is already yours, and I dare not touch it without permission.

The man looked at Wu Yi deeply. He knew that the old man mentioned this matter at this time specifically to confirm his contribution of donating the medicine.

As the scale of the war expanded, it was understandable that he would call for this batch of medicines from nearby places due to the shortage of supplies, and then they would be consumed in large quantities.

Who will own these drugs then?
This old guy wants to clarify the matter thoroughly now to avoid confusion in the future.

Seeing through Wu Yi's thoughts, he didn't have the heart to care about these things now, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll write you a transfer order later, and you can arrange for someone to transport the drugs over... Is there anything else?"

"I have a concern in my heart." Wu Yi said with a worried look on his face:

“We are recruiting soldiers on a large scale in Beibaji. It is impossible to conceal the news of such a big movement.

I am worried that Su Ruiliang and his men will follow suit and also recruit soldiers in Dongwuji and Nansiji.

If everyone conscripts soldiers, won’t our advantage be gone?
The total of 'Eastern Fifth Market' and 'Southern Fourth Market' is one more market than ours!"

After hearing what he said, the man showed no worry at all. He looked at his subordinates on the left and asked:

"Are you worried?"

When these people heard this, they all burst into laughter.

As Wu Yi looked puzzled, the man stood up and the entire tent seemed to darken.

He came in front of Wu Yi, but Wu Yi, who was not short, could only reach up to his chest.

The bear-like man stretched out his fist as big as a casserole, pointed his finger at Wu Yi's shoulder like a steel bar, and said:
“Do you think commanding thousands of men in battle is the same as leading one or two hundred men?
How many years has it been since you in Yuanzhou experienced a serious war?

Do you still know how to lead troops and how to fight a war?
That 'Su Ruiliang' might be very powerful. For him, the best approach would be to sneak in while we are still unstable and find a suitable opportunity to assassinate me.

If he sees us recruiting soldiers and follows our example, he would be an extremely stupid and ignorant fool.

That’s exactly what I wanted!”

The man came closer and spoke condescendingly, and a strong fishy smell enveloped Wu Yi.

Wu Yi, however, looked as if he had suddenly understood something, and nodded, "I understand!"

Although, the man's words made him, a native of Yuanzhou, feel a little uncomfortable instinctively.

But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the truth.

About a quarter of an hour later, a team of three hundred people rode out of the north gate of the camp on horseback.

The first hundred riders were all riding extremely tall Xuanyou horses.

The one riding in the front was Zhaluo. When the Xuanyou horse ran fast, his "beautiful hair" with small braids and many ornaments flew high like the mane of the Xuanyou horse.

His mood seemed to be lifted as well, like a wild horse running free, galloping and making loud noises.

The people behind him followed suit, and soon the wilderness was filled with the sounds of ghosts wailing and wolves howling.

Behind these one hundred riders on Xuanyou horses were two hundred men led by Wu Yi riding on Yuanzhou horses.

Compared to the unbridled and ostentatious group of people in front, the atmosphere here was extremely solemn, and everyone had a stern face.

These people were carefully selected by Wu Yi.

Or he is a trusted relative.

Or you can be like him, taking one step at a time, only to find that you have reached a dead end and have no other choice but to be a speculator who follows him down the same path until the end.

……

After Wu Yi and others left, the giant bear-like man looked at the old man from the Xu family and threw a booklet in front of him.

"Snapped."

The old man glanced at it and saw the words clearly.

The Royal Horse Manual

"I'll give you two days. If anyone's horsemanship is still as bad as it is now, go to hell!"

When the old man from the Xu family heard this, his expression changed.

The man did not stay any longer, but turned around and left the tent.

As he left, the people sitting on his left also left quickly.

He didn't even look at the Xu family members on the right.

After everyone had left, a man suddenly slammed the table.

"Oh!"

Then he said angrily:

"This is too much, this is too much!

What does he think of my Xu family?
This is outrageous, it is really outrageous! "

The old man from the Xu family glanced at him.

He was originally hesitant and struggling, but after hearing these incompetent words, his expression calmed down and he reached out to take the "Horse Riding Manual" in his hand.

……

Dark underground tunnel.

Xuanyouma led the way in front, and twenty gang members "escorted" the twenty-four "hidden soldiers" that Geng Xuan had discovered underground and walked quickly.

Dahuang and Baxiao followed closely at the back.

At this moment, Geng Xuan has completed the exploration of Qingyuanji's underground network.

After getting a clear understanding of Qingyuanji, the most intricate area underground, Geng Xuan also discovered several tunnels leading to the distance.

One of them is the one that Qi Mingcheng mentioned leading to the remaining range of Chiwu Mountain, but it is now impassable due to natural collapse.

There is another one. Although he has not explored it in depth, based on the direction, Geng Xuan can basically confirm that it leads to a "small oasis" villa where he once led the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to spend the night.

There are many other routes that Geng Xuan has not explored personally, so he doesn't know where their exits are.

But with his extraordinary and wonderful perception, he could determine which direction they were heading.

There are several roads connecting with the surrounding neighborhoods.

——A long time ago, Wu Yicai began to recruit troops in Anleji and Baiyuanji. Before he actually pushed his troops to the vicinity of Qingyuanji, the neighborhoods around Qingyuanji had already moved to the depths of Chiwu Mountain in advance and hid there with their keen sense of danger.

Now all these neighborhoods are deserted.

There is also a tunnel leading to the ancient river channel of Zhushui.

This is very similar to the situation of Baiyuanji.

One leads to the Zhushui River, and the other leads to the deep remnants of Chiwu Mountain.

There are three more roads leading to three other directions outside Qingyuanji.

Although two of them go in different directions, they all lead to the north in the general direction.

That is the direction of the enemy cavalry camp.

This was because Geng Xuan wanted to spend more time on cultivation, and he was also worried that if he left for too long, something unexpected might happen on Earth.

Therefore, Geng Xuan did not go to explore these tunnels in person immediately.

He planned to assign Dahuang and Baxiao to do this task after they had rested on the ground for a while.

Anyway, with Huang Er as the "camera", the results of their exploration will be shared with him in the end.

This was no different from his own personal exploration.

On the way back, Geng Xuan, lying on Xuanyou's horse, expended six points of luck to upgrade his "horse-judging technique" from entry level to minor success level.

While leading the team back, he slowly digested and silently absorbed the new knowledge, experience, and insights related to "horses".

……

After returning to the ground, Geng Xuan handed over the twenty-four "hidden soldiers" to Hong Quan and had him incorporated them into the combat sequence.

These twenty-four people, plus the twelve people he beat out in the previous batch, totaled thirty-six people. They were all the living people he brought out after completely cleaning out the underground of Qingyuanji.

Of course, before he conducted this exploration, there were many more living people hiding underground, more than seventy in total.

Unfortunately, less than half of the people are willing to listen to him.

The other half was either too mentally agitated or too excited to communicate normally.

Or showed too much hostility towards him.

In the end, these people turned into fresh corpses, lying in the pits in the underground tunnels.

Hong Quan and Jiang Hongyi both like these "hidden arms" very much.

Because everyone who was willing to follow Geng Xuan to the ground was extremely obedient, and would cooperate very well no matter what they were asked to do.

Moreover, both his cultivation and combat abilities are very good.

In the eyes of the two, these were better candidates for combat than the cultivators recruited from various forces.

The vast majority of these people have very good cultivation capabilities.

As soon as Hong Quan took the "hidden troops" away, Cheng Hui hurried over to see him.

However, the message Geng Xuan had asked him to pass on to Fan Hongsheng and others had already been replied.

"Everything is ready on their end, and they can set off at any time."

Geng Xuan nodded, but still took a quick look around the Qingyuan Collection.

The residents of Qingyuanji have been mobilized by Qi Mingcheng.

According to his wishes, Qingyuan Collection is undergoing a major transformation.

First, all the elderly, the weak, women and children were moved to the central area of Qingyuanji and settled with Qingyuan Pavilion as the center.

What followed was a fire prevention inspection, the setting of roadblocks and low walls, the digging of trenches, etc. Starting from the periphery of Qingyuanji, the once harmonious and peaceful Qingyuanji was gradually turned into a smoky and unrecognizable place.

Many people took action themselves, tearing down their own houses with tears streaming down their cheeks.

Bricks, stones, wooden beams and other materials would not be discarded but would soon be transported elsewhere and turned into chevaux de frise, low walls, traps and the like.

Geng Xuan had no feelings about this, and did not say much. Seeing that everything was in order, he said to Cheng Hui:
"Keep an eye on the situation here. If there is any unusual movement, inform me immediately."

After giving instructions, Geng Xuan immediately led the 90 riders who were part of the temporary gang to leave Qingyuanji and head towards Santongji. Huang Er, Ah Liu and Ah Qi were all left behind. Their mission was to explore all the tunnel branches under Qingyuanji to see where they led to.

Da Huang and the other five children went with Geng Xuan.

When riding out of Qingyuanji, many people couldn't help but look at the sky above their heads.

Everyone felt that this night was so long.

At this time, it's still dark!

More than half an hour later.

Outside the Wufang camp, Geng Xuan saw 500 soldiers ready to go, and a large number of baggage vehicles that they would personally escort to Qingyuanji.

"You guys are very quick." Geng Xuan said.

Fan Hongsheng explained:

“When we found Liu Yueji, a grain transport convoy just happened to be coming from Liuyunfang, and they hadn’t had time to unload the goods yet.

After knowing our needs, he directly handed over the whole vehicle to us.

We just changed the pack horses and can set off immediately."

While listening to Fan Hongsheng's story, Geng Xuan looked at the five hundred soldiers who had been selected from top to bottom according to their age at his request.

Among these five hundred soldiers, Geng Xuan saw many familiar figures.

These are the old men who support the hunting teams in Changpingfang during the autumn hunting season.

Geng Xuan's gaze paused for a moment on them, then he continued to look to the side. Finally, his gaze fell on a figure and he said in surprise:
"Master Chai, are you going over there too?"

Upon hearing this, Master Chai laughed and said:
"Don't they say that the selection is made from the highest to the lowest age? It would be unreasonable for me not to follow at my age."

Geng Xuan nodded, but did not say anything more on this topic. Instead, he glanced at the wooden longbow that Master Chai was carrying on his back, and asked:
"Master Chai, are you good at archery?"

Master Chai nodded and said:
"My old arms and legs are not good enough for close combat. I can only hide from a distance and shoot arrows from behind."

At this point, he paused and said, "However, my archery skills can only bully some ordinary soldiers, but I dare not compare it with the superb archery of Gang Leader Su."

Geng Xuan nodded slightly and said:

"Then let's go."

Soon, Mr. Chai and five hundred other people set off escorting a large number of baggage vehicles.

Traveling with them were Wei Wanzong and another new marrow refiner Qi Kun.

Fan Hongsheng stayed in the Wufang camp with the remaining 500 soldiers.

This distribution among the three was not the result of logical analysis, but a simple choice made by drawing lots.

Wei Wanzong, Chai Ye and others set off.

More than half of the Xuanyou cavalry brought by Geng Xuan also followed them.

However, Geng Xuan himself kept the twenty strongest temporary gang members, including the seven marrow refining masters, by his side and entered the underground tunnel of Santongji.

As early as when they passed the Santongji, Geng Xuan had already released Dahuang and Wuxiao.

While Geng Xuan was communicating with Fan Hongsheng and others, Da Huang and Wu Xiao had already dispersed and moved quickly in the underground tunnel of Santongji.

With their keen sense of smell, they move quickly and silently in the intricate underground network, like ghost dogs walking in hell in the dark night.

They marked out the hiders in the underground tunnels one by one.

When Geng Xuan led twenty temporary gang members into the underground, they turned into guides and took them to the places where the hiders were.

The reason why I took the time to do this is not only because I covet these "hidden arms" themselves.

Qingyuanji's action of clearing the underground network made Geng Xuan suddenly realize that the Santongji, whose power on the ground had been basically drained, these "hidden troops" that also existed underground were a huge security risk.

Because of inertia, they have not yet collectively rushed to the ground.

But once they did that, it would be a disaster for the Santongji on the ground.

After realizing this, Geng Xuan decided that while escorting 500 soldiers and food supplies north to Qingyuanji, he would also have to clean up the underground of Santongji.

For him, this was just a matter of convenience.

Because his purpose this time was not to fully explore the underground tunnels of Santongji, but just to clear out all the hiders.

With the preliminary work of Dahuang and Wuxiao, the goal was very clear and the action was naturally very fast.

It took about an hour for Geng Xuan to lead Da Huang and Wu Xiao out from underground.

The team behind him, however, became much longer.

The number of people increased from twenty at the beginning to sixty-three.

Forty-three of them are the "hidden troops" discovered this time.

In addition, there are slightly more hiders sleeping underground.

After getting out of the ground, Geng Xuan did not delay in Santongji and caught up with Wei Wanzong and others at the fastest speed.

Just at this time.

On the seventh day of December, the morning sun rose from the eastern horizon, pulling the team marching in the wilderness out of the darkness and placing them under the bright light.

The journey was uneventful.

The team returned safely to Qingyuanji.

When leading the team into Qingyuanji, Geng Xuan looked up at the sky.

Thousands of meters in the sky, a huge dark blue bird was circling alone.

Geng Xuan reached for the longbow beside him.

But soon, he withdrew his hand.

Not to mention shooting high into the sky, even the red longbow with the longest range can only shoot downward at a distance of a thousand steps.

That is about 1,500 meters.

This is already the limit.

And at the end, the accuracy and lethality dropped sharply.

If it is shot from high altitude, let alone 1,500 meters, even 1,000 meters would be difficult.

So forget about shooting this bird down with a bow and arrow.

but--

Geng Xuan looked up at the Xuanqinghai sand sculpture in the sky. With his keen eyesight, he felt that this thing didn't care much about his reinforcements that had just arrived and were entering Qingyuanji.

Instead, its attention fell on a certain area within Qingyuan Collection.

Geng Xuan thought about it and felt that the area seemed to be the base of the Giant Bear Gang.

Then, Geng Xuan thought of something and said to Feng Yu who came to greet him, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go back to the base first."

After saying this, he urged his horse to return to the camp quickly.

Looking up, I saw that the bird was indeed looking towards this area.

After entering the base, Geng Xuan quickly came to a small courtyard not far from his residence.

Meng Bufan, who had a broken leg and a blind eye, was carefully caring for the injured wings of two Xuanqinghai sand sculptures with the help of two members of the Giant Bear Gang.

The two fools raised their heads and screamed non-stop, but the attention of the three people was all focused on their injured wings.

Two gang members secured the wings of the two birds to prevent them from flapping around.

Meng Bufan held a bowl of medicine and gently brushed the injured areas on the two birds' wings with a soft brush.

The horrific-looking arrow wound, the rolled-up flesh, and the bones that were dislocated by the residual force of the arrow have all returned to their original state.

At least, from the outside, there was no way to conceal the wound area except for one that was the size of a copper coin.

The rest of the parts seemed to be intact.

Geng Xuan watched from the side without interrupting.

He interrupted him only when Meng Bufan had finished caring for the wings of a Xuan Qinghai sand sculpture and was ready to replace it.

"Okay, pause for a moment."

Meng Bufan, who was holding the potion, turned around and saw "Su Ruiliang" right beside him. He was so panicked that he almost dropped the potion in his hand to the ground.

"Help...Help Leader!"

Geng Xuan nodded and motioned for him to put down the potion.

Then point to the big bird in the sky.

"Ah, there's one more."

Because the distance was too far, Meng Bufan, who was looking up, couldn't see clearly what kind of bird it was, but after looking at the reactions of the two birds beside him, he also reacted.

"Unfortunately, that doesn't belong to us. Instead, it is the enemy's eyes used to spy on us." Geng Xuan shook his head regretfully.

Meng Bufan looked up and squinted his eyes, staring at it for a while, then retracted his gaze and said, "It should be a female."

"You can see that too?" Geng Xuan was surprised.

Even with his amazing eyesight, he couldn't tell the gender of the person at first glance.

Meng Bufan shook his head and said:

"I don't have such a good eye. I made the judgment through analysis."

"Oh, analysis and judgment? On what basis?" Geng Xuan asked.

Meng Bufan looked at the two big birds beside him, pointed at the larger one, the one with a bigger body and frame, and a more powerful cry, and said, "This one is the male."

As he said this, he pointed to another one. This one had a smaller frame, a more streamlined body, and a sharper cry.

"And this one is a female."

"Xuan Qinghai's sand sculpture has a very unique habit. Some noble sons of Yuanjing even made up a sentence to tease him."

"What?" Geng Xuan asked.

"Shadow has a wife and a concubine." Meng Bufan said.

"Sha Diao has a wife and a concubine?"

Geng Xuan muttered softly, thinking, is this an insult or a compliment?
“Among the sand sculptures, the male birds are very aggressive, especially towards other male birds.

If they see other male birds with female birds, they will immediately rush forward to compete and fight. In the end, the female bird will follow the winner and leave.

But when a male bird finds two female birds to accompany him, he will begin to restrain his ferocious nature and stop snatching new female birds. Instead, he will incubate eggs and breed with the two female birds.

While the two female birds are incubating the eggs and the chicks are hatching but cannot leave the nest to find food, the male bird is solely responsible for providing food for the two female birds and all the chicks.

Some people even joked that it’s not that these male birds don’t want to occupy more female birds, but that those male birds that occupy more female birds are all exhausted to death.”

“Although the habits of the black-green sea eagle are peculiar, once they are combined, especially after incubation and breeding, the relationship between the male and the two females will be very close.

Not only will the two female birds be extremely loyal to the male bird and stick with him through thick and thin, but they will also share the same experiences of incubation, breeding, and guarding the nest.

When faced with danger, they will fight side by side.

They treat the chicks hatched from the same nest as their own, without any distinction between them. "

Speaking of this, Meng Bufan, who had a very strong red name on his head, had already revealed a leisurely and fascinated look on his face.

Not only him, but even the two Giant Bear Gang members next to him had longing written all over their faces.

Perhaps they are having similar dreams in their hearts.

Geng Xuan, however, rested his elbow on one hand and gently stroked his chin with the other, saying:

"Is this the case with these three birds?"

Meng Bufan nodded and said, "Yes."

Geng Xuan looked up at the lonely female bird circling in the sky, then looked at the two idiots, one male and one female, who were looking up at the female bird in the sky and wailing non-stop.

Question: "Do you think we can use this to lure the bird down from the sky?"

Meng Bufan was stunned and asked, "How to use it?"

Geng Xuan said:
"For example, let's light a fire in the yard and pretend to roast these two birds.

Or you can put a pot on the fire, add water into it, and pretend to throw them in to cook after the water boils.

...In order to prevent them from getting confused, we can find some chickens, ducks or other birds and do the operation in front of them.

You may even share and eat the roasted or boiled bird in their presence.

...What do you think of this?"

The three of them didn't reply, just stared at him blankly.

"Why are you all looking at me like that? Tell me what you think."

say what?
Could it be that, gang leader, you should just behave like a human being? Are you even willing to desecrate such a stupid love?
We think so in our hearts, but we dare not say it out loud!
It was Meng Bufan who reacted the fastest, saying, "Boss, we are just pretending, right?"

Geng Xuan nodded: "Of course, you don't think I would really cook and eat them, right?"

Meng Bufan had already gotten rid of his inexplicable emotions, and said while thinking:

"It may be possible, but if you want to try it, it's best to wait two days."

"Why?"

"If you're acting, you have to make it real. They will be separated by life and death, and it's hard to say what will happen to the one in the sky. These two will definitely fight desperately and their emotions will be extremely intense.

Their wounds had just been treated and they were actually very weak now.

If they are not given a little time to recover, I am afraid they will actually die.”

Geng Xuan thought about it and nodded:
"Well, let's wait for two days until they recover a little bit."

When Geng Xuan arrived at the lobby of the residence, Feng Yu was already waiting there with Wei Wanzong, Chai Ye, Qi Kun and others.

Geng Xuan did not exchange pleasantries with them and said directly:

"If we really talk about war experience, we all have zero, and we can't compare with those real Xuanyou Iron Cavalry.

Therefore, we cannot use the mindset of two armies fighting each other to understand the situation that will follow."

"How should we understand it?" Wei Wanzong asked curiously.

"Hunting." Geng Xuan said.

"Hunting?" Wei Wanzong, Chai Ye, Qi Kun and others were all stunned when they heard this.

Geng Xuan said:
"The Lifang organizes a large-scale autumn hunt every year. Most of these 500 Lifang soldiers are veterans from the hunting teams of each Lifang."

"You may be unfamiliar with the word war, but when it comes to hunting, I think there is no one more familiar to you, right?"

“You treat your opponent as an extremely powerful, wild and untamable beast.

And the entire Qingyuanji is your hunting ground!
You can set up various traps based on your experience.

Not only do you have to arrange it yourself, but now the entire Qingyuanji renovation is covered, and you also have to participate and give your own suggestions. "

Originally, Wei Wanzong and others had very solemn eyes, but after listening to Geng Xuan's explanation, their eyes became brighter and brighter.

When their thinking changed, they no longer viewed everything now as a strange war, but a hunt of a more special nature.

I was originally at a loss and didn't know where to start, but suddenly inspiration came pouring out from the bottom of my heart like a spring.

In fact, they have been away from front-line hunting for a long time.

Among the eight villages, the truly experienced old hunters are basically among the five hundred warriors who followed them to Qingyuanji this time.

"Compared to your combat abilities, I value your hunting experience and sense more."

"Now, you all should understand what to do next, right?"

Wei Wanzong and others nodded heavily and said, "Understood!"

Geng Xuan nodded: "Then you can go and discuss the specific situation with Hong Quan, Jiang Hongyi and others."

……

Geng Xuan finally had time to have a good rest.

The afternoon of the seventh day was spent in cultivation and waiting.

It was almost evening, and seeing that there was no movement outside Qingyuanji, Geng Xuan began to feel strange.

Because according to his analysis, after experiencing his terrifying archery skills, the opponent's Xuanyou Iron Cavalry would never dare to move out easily.

But the other party can't just keep wasting time with me like this.

For the other party, the only option is to turn around and leave, breaking up on the spot.

Otherwise, there is only one best response.

That is upright action.

With the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry as the backbone and thousands of soldiers as shields, they advanced forward as a whole.

All the way to the outside of Qingyuan Collection.

Until Qingyuanji was completely razed to the ground.

Just when Geng Xuan was confused, Qi Mingcheng, Fang Jintang and Feng Yu came to see him in a hurry.

Looking at the extremely serious expressions on their faces, Geng Xuan had a hunch that they might have already had the answers to his doubts.

"what happened?"

"Wu Yi has gone crazy!" Qi Mingcheng's chest heaved violently.

"What did he do?" Geng Xuan was curious about what Wu Yi had done to make Qi Mingcheng lose his composure to such an extent.

Qi Mingcheng took a few sharp breaths, and after his breathing calmed down a little, he spoke and told Geng Xuan the news they had just learned.

“Just this morning, he led a group of Xuanyou cavalry and went directly to Wanshunji.

The chief master of Wanshunji brought all the marrow refining masters to meet him, but he directly asked Wanshunji to mobilize 500 soldiers for his use immediately.

The Grand Master of Wanshunji and all the marrow refining masters must also follow suit.

In response to such an unreasonable request, the owner of Wanshunji just expressed his embarrassment and was beheaded by his men.

After killing the Grand Master of Wanshunji, the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry directly blocked all the exits of Wanshunji. Wu Yi carried the head of the Grand Master of Wanshunji and personally went to every guild and family to reason with them.

Before noon, Wan Shunji had already gathered 500 soldiers, who were being escorted towards us.

After Wanshunji succeeded, Wu Yi and the group of Xuanyou cavalry did not stop their actions.

The same action was immediately launched in other surrounding markets.

In order to prevent other markets from fleeing after hearing the news, he even arranged for the Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to completely block some of the must-pass places.

Except for a few who were quick to flee and bring the news, everyone else was trapped in his jar!"

"The soldiers recruited by Wanshun should arrive tonight.

The soldiers from the other five markets will all arrive no later than tomorrow!
By then, we will not be facing more than 1,000 people as originally thought, but more than 4,000 people!"

At the end, Qi Mingcheng's voice couldn't help but tremble.

Although Geng Xuan was surprised by this new change, he was not panicked.

He even speculated that this might be related to the fact that he had absorbed a large number of temporary gang members and thus gained a dozen points of white luck.

Seeing that he was still calm, Qi Mingcheng, who was a little panicked, gradually calmed down.

Fang Jintang next to him asked, "Boss Su, what should we do now?"

Geng Xuan's heart was as peaceful as a lake, but he said helplessly:
"What can we do? Of course we can only follow their example. We should do what they do."

"ah?!!!"

Qi Mingcheng and Fang Jintang couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, with countless waves of fear rising in their hearts.

Only then did they react belatedly.

Wu Yi led those Xuanyou Iron Cavalry to do extremely cruel things in "Bei Baji", but this does not mean that the "Su Ruiliang" in front of him is a good person!
This is also a beast with a heart so dark that you can't see your hand in front of you, and without any humanity or human nature at all.
