Chapter 157 Countermeasures (two in one)

  Xu Xinyao hesitated a little, then silently stopped, and stood aside.

  Xu Yuan finished the operation in an orderly manner, and while using the restraint to seal the saint’s remnant soul, he suddenly said inadvertently:

   “By the way, Xu Changge may be by his father’s side.”

  Hearing this, Xu Xinyao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at the wound on the back of her hand:

   “Third Brother. Are you worried that I will sue Big Brother?”

   “Complaint?”

  Xu Yuan glanced at her and murmured, with a look of amusement in his eyes.

  He recalled some previous memories.

  Boys like leather when they were young, but their father didn’t care, so only the elder brother took care of it.

  Xu Xinyao is the only girl in the family, and Xu Changge, the eldest brother, loves her very much.

  Xu Xinyao is a bitch, she only cries secretly when she is wronged, but the problem is that Xu Changge can tell that she has cried when they meet each other. Take him out and beat him up.

  Because he is the only person who will provoke Xu Xinyao in the entire Xiangguo Mansion.

  This big brother’s personality has been more or less problematic since he was a child, he doesn’t care about the facts, he only wants what he thinks, not you.

  The boss is gone.

  If there are four cubs in the family, most of the time this situation will turn into him scolding Xu Changge while running, Xu Changge followed quickly with a calm face to beat him up, Xu Xinyao pulled The eldest brother persuaded him from the side, and the second elder brother Xu Chang’an stood in front of him, intending to reason with the eldest brother.

  Second brother Xu Changan likes to reason with people the most, and he has basically never lost in reasoning.

  But the problem is that although the second brother can speak the truth better than Xu Changge, he can’t beat him.

  In the end, the fight turned into a fight, Xu Xinyao cried and persuaded, and the two brothers were beaten together.

  I don’t know how many times this kind of scene has been staged in Xiangguo Mansion.

  Later

   Later, he was the only one left in the mansion, and everyone else left.

  Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan shook his head lightly:

   “It doesn’t matter, you can talk about it if you want, anyway, will I return to the Imperial Capital in a while.”

  Xu Xinyao looked down at the wound on the back of her hand:

   “This matter is Xinyao’s fault, the third brother hit me.”

  Xu Yuan ignored her again.

  About two quarters of an hour after the array was activated, the other end was belatedly picking up the communication, and the voice was as calm as ever:

   “Long day?”

  Xu Yinhe’s side seems to be in the downtown area, and the voice is a little noisy.

   “Well, father, it’s me.” Xu Yuan replied.

  After his words fell, the noise from the communication wafer suddenly disappeared. It should be that the other party used some means to block the surrounding sounds:

  ”Something happened just now, you are looking for your father now because of the Shengshan County?”

  Xu Yuan nodded:

   “Well, yes.”

   “Because Shengshan County was destroyed?”

  Xu Yinhe asked such a question calmly in a low voice, without the slightest ripple, and seemed to be ready for the slaughter of the entire Shengshan County.

  Xu Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words.

  He used the communication wafer in Huanglongji to inform the father of the general situation and the approximate time that Shengshan County can last. Precisely predict what will happen here in my heart.

  If he hadn’t met Xu Xinyao on the way, there is a high probability that Shengshan County would have been wiped out by now.

   After a pause, Xu Yuan replied in a low voice:

   “No.”

   “No?”

  Xu Yinhe’s voice was still calm, and he said instead: “It seems that something happened.”

   “I met my fourth sister in Huanglongji.” Xu Yuan said simply.

   “Little Four?”

  Xu Yinhe’s voice was filled with surprise, and then Gujing Wubo’s voice was filled with a smile: “It’s a coincidence, she is by your side now?”

   “Yes.” Xu Yuan.

Xu Xinyao at the side said in a low voice, “Father.”

  The other end of the communication crystal heard this voice, fell silent for a while, and just said softly:

  ”Don’t blame yourself too much. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will handle it for my father. Talk to your third brother. You haven’t seen each other for a long time.”

  Xu Xinyao clenched her fists and did not speak.

  Xu Yuan listened and shook his head gently.

  Father always treats his family like this.

  When the sons and daughters are doing things, he will wipe their buttocks. Even if the sky falls, he will be there to support it.

  But Xu Yuan still said:

   “Father, Xiaosi should reflect on this matter, she trusts the sect too much.”

   “Huh?”

  Xu Yinhe doubted, smiled and said: “Don’t blame your sister too much, your brother can’t see her being wronged.”

  Xu Yuan chuckled and said:

   “So what if you can’t see it, it’s really her fault.”

  Xu Yinhe laughed when he heard the words, and spit out three words:

   “Improved.”

   After a pause, Xu Yinhe brought the topic back on track, and a voice came:

   “Since Shengshan County has been rescued, you probably want to talk to me about the Wanxiang sect.”

   “Yes.” Xu Yuan nodded.

  Xu Yinhe asked in a low voice:

   “Lou Ji’s people just went to Huanglongji to fetch the prisoner you mentioned, Changtian, how do you want my father to deal with the Wanxiang sect?”

  Xu Yuan didn’t speak, but glanced sideways at Xu Xinyao who was beside her and beckoned her to speak.

  Xu Xinyao’s eyes flashed with light, she bit the corner of her lips, and said in a low voice:

  ”Father, there should be many unaware people in the Wanxiang sect.”

  Xu Yinhe didn’t speak, only the sound of gentle breathing came.

  Xu Xinyao continued:

  ”The people who want to attack Shengshan County should be those high-level people, can you?”

   “Alas”

  Xu Yuan sighed in a low voice at this moment, looking at Xu Xinyao with disappointment in his eyes.

  Xu Xinyao saw the third brother’s gaze and swallowed half of the words.

  Xu Yuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice:

   “Father, I agree with Xinyao’s words. I don’t recommend doing anything to Wanxiangzong immediately, but the reason is different from hers.”

  Xu Yinhe came from the communication wafer:

   “Tell me about it.”

  Xu Yuan glanced at the Fourth Sister, who had downcast eyes and clenched fists, and said in a low voice:

  “The first thing we consider now is not how to avenge, but how to stop losses. Given the current situation in Shengshan County, there are not one out of ten frontier troops, and the official system has been paralyzed. Medicines and food, so many people and monsters have died, there is a high probability that there will be plagues later, these series of things need silver taels.”

  “.”

   After a little silence, Xu Yinhe’s voice came:

   “Changtian, you mean not to attack the Wanxiang sect, and use this reason to ask for silver and materials as compensation?”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes were dim, and he said in a calm voice:

  “Just don’t do it now.

  ”Father, you should be able to know that both Pingning Prefecture where Shengshan County is located and Xizezhou are in a big financial deficit, and there is no way to provide disaster relief funds. If you want disaster relief, you can only leave Here, not to mention the issue of time, after layers of exploitation, getting half of the money and food in the hands of Shengshan County is already very good.

  ”What’s more, the current situation is not suitable for attacking Wanxiangzong.”

  Xu Yinhe was a little quieter, with a hint of interest in his voice:

   “Keep talking.”

  Xu Yuan continued in a low voice after a little deliberation:

  ”First, the annual spring tide has not yet subsided, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers of Xizezhou to mobilize enough elites to deal with the Vientiane Sect. If troops are transferred from other places, there is a high probability that these The Zongmen found out that the Wanxiang Sect would not wait to be killed if things were brought to light, so they must be prepared to jump over the wall. The Wanxiang Sect has operated in Xizezhou for hundreds of years, if they start a rebellion, it will cause great losses.”

  ”Never start a war when the other side is fully prepared.”

  “.”

  After the words fell, Xu Yinhe smiled lightly, but Xu Yuan heard it.

  The huge secret room was quiet for a moment before the communication crystal flashed again:

   “Continue.”

  Xu Yuan thought for a moment, then continued:

  ”Secondly, the huge compensation will likely lead to infighting within the Wanxiang sect. When facing common interests, they are consistent, but they will not be monolithic in the face of compensation. I will only try to pin the blame on other people’s heads to reduce my own losses.”

  Xu Yinhe listened carefully and asked calmly:

   “If so, why won’t they pay?”

  Xu Yuan shook his head:

  ”They won’t pay, at most they will let us hand over the witnesses and all related information, and the moment we reach a cooperation, we have become accomplices, and they will bring up the old matter again. If we come out, we will also be implicated.”

  Xu Yinhe’s voice is still calm:

   “Since this is the case, how can we attack the Wanxiang sect again in the future?”

  Xu Yuan smiled in a low voice:

   “There will be no reason in the future.”

  “.”

  The words fell, and there was silence.

  Then,

  Xu Yinhe laughed, this time his laughter was clearly audible in the silent stone house:

   “Oh, I really don’t need a reason in the future, Chang Tian, ​​is there any more?”

   “Of course.”

  Xu Yuan replied, and glanced at Xu Xinyao who had a complex expression beside him:

  ”The third and most important point, just like what you did before, father, this behavior can send a signal to the Zongmen. Meaning, we have already started preparing to retreat.”

   “Well said.”

  Xu Yinhe lightly praised, but immediately denied: “But Changtian, you missed the most important point.”

  Xu Yuan’s eyes were slightly surprised: “What?”

  Xu Yinhe’s voice is calm:

  ”Only when the knife rests on the neck, the sect will back down. Even if the compensation for the bleeding of the Wanxiang sect is agreed, they will only squeeze it out bit by bit, maybe ten years, maybe twenty years You can’t give them all, never overestimate their bottom line, their bottom line has no lower limit.”

  Xu Yuan frowned:

   “Father, that matter.”

  Xu Yinhe said softly:

   “I have asked Yuan Hao to lead 40,000 black-scaled troops to set off secretly from Anfengzhou in batches in the name of supporting the border.”

  Hearing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes flickered.

  After so many years, Wanxiang Sect no longer has the consciousness of being the ancestor of the founding school “the emperor guarding the country”, and moved his sect to the easternmost part of Xizezhou, at the junction with Anfengzhou near the line.

   Moreover, he knows the whole Yuan Hao, in Cangyuan.

  This is a high-level cadre under the father, because his personality is too prominent, so Xu Yuan remembered this mid-to-late boss.

  An out-and-out war lunatic.

  Thinking to this point, Xu Yuan restrained his thoughts and asked hesitantly:

   “If you act like this, won’t it cause the Wanxiang sect to jump over the wall?”

  Xu Yinhe replied:

   “No one can approach the barracks. The 40,000 black scale army is counted as a team (fifty people), and they rush in batches, and they will meet when they are close to Vientiane City.”

  Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback when he heard this.

  How dare the armies of this world rush so fast and break into pieces under such communication conditions?

  And marching like this, what about the baggage? What about the instruments of war? What if the team gets lost halfway?

  After thinking about it for a moment, Xu Yuan was roughly relieved.

  A unit of 50 people can guarantee secrecy while maintaining the basic organizational system and discipline. As for luggage and equipment, they can be transported by air through Xumijie and flying monsters. After all, this transfer of troops is within the territory. There is no such thing as encountering an ambush, and Dayan’s official road is extremely developed, with many stations along the way, it is basically impossible to get lost if you don’t deliberately drill deep into the mountains and old forests.

  Moreover, most of these soldiers should have been trained from Tianan Martial Arts Hall.

  This extraordinary world cannot be measured by the ancient war mode of the previous life.

  After pondering for a while, Xu Yuan said softly:

   “Father, how long will it take to get here if you march like this?”

  Xu Yinhe naturally knows this well:

   “Calculating the time, most of the soldiers will be able to join forces and arrive at Vientiane City in about twenty days.”

   As he spoke, Xu Yinhe paused:

   “When the time comes, Changtian, you go talk to the Wanxiang sect.”

   “.” Xu Yuan’s eyes twitched.

  For a while,

  Xu Yuan popped out a word: “Me?”

  ”Naturally.” Xu Yinhe said slowly, “Yuan Hao is violent by nature and is not suitable for negotiation, so you go.”

  Xu Yuan coughed lightly: “Father, are you sure you want me to go?”

  Xu Yinhe’s voice is soft:

   “I wasn’t sure if I should let you go, but now I’m sure.

  ”Of course,

  ”If you don’t want to go for a long time, you can also refuse.”

  Xu Yuan thought for a while and replied:

   “I’ll go.”

  Xu Yinhe lightly buttoned the copy in front of him: “Don’t feel burdened, it doesn’t matter if the negotiation fails.”

   After a pause, Xu Yuan asked:

   “Father, can I take Xinyao with me?”

   “.” Xu Xinyao.

  Xu Yinhe did not immediately agree, but asked:

   “Xinyao, would you like to go with your brother?”

  Xu Yuan looked back at her, Xu Xinyao nodded slightly:

   “This matter happened because of Xinyao, so I am naturally willing.”

  Xu Yuan chuckled lightly:

   “Father, since this is the case, then I will make some preparations.”

  Xu Yinhe didn’t intend to hang up immediately, but said:

   “Don’t worry, my father happens to have something else to ask you.”

  Xu Yuan hesitated when he heard the words, thought for a moment, and asked:

   “Father, you said.”

  Xu Yinhe pondered a little for the first time, and said in a low voice:

   “I just came out of Wuchenghou’s Mansion.”

   “Wu Chenghou?”

  Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, and subconsciously thought of the princess named Mu Zhiyun: “Is it related to me?”

  Xu Yinhe did not deny:

   “Well, related.”

   “Father, you can speak bluntly.”

   “You are already old and weak.”

  “.”

  Hearing these familiar words, Xu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat and he didn’t speak.

   Seeing Xu Yuan not speaking for a long time, Xu Yinhe coughed lightly:

   “Marquis Wu Cheng agreed with you to return to the imperial capital, and also asked for a marriage for you as a father.”
