Chapter 706: An Unexpected Meeting(1/2)
That night, the lights in Yun Zhongchen's camp of the Nanhai Army in the wasteland stayed on until midnight.
That night, the city lord's mansion in Nanyun City was brightly lit, and Ming Hui and Ouyang Dongli sat quietly, looking at Na Lan Yu and Yang Kai Yi in front of them.
No matter Ouyang Dongli or Minghui, although they have advanced cultivation, they have never been on the battlefield.
Therefore, everyone's last hope was placed on Nalan Yu.
Even Yang Kaiyi was the same. After all, Nalan Yu was by the Imperial Master's side in every battle back then.
Nalanyu looked at Minghui and Ouyang Dongli with a bitter smile and said, "If there hadn't been the big formation that the Imperial Master had set up, I'm afraid the city would have been destroyed in today's battle."
Until now, his eyes were still filled with rocks flying from the sky.
He believed that without the magic circle to stop these stones, no matter how strong Nanyun City was, it would not be able to withstand the attacks of several battles, and the city would be broken sooner or later.
Hua Luoyu had already brought several girls with her, and the young men were resting. Only Ouyang Dongli and others were in the living room.
Even the blacksmiths Hu Ge and Tang Chao took an early rest and went up to the tower to guard them early tomorrow morning.
Yang Kaiyi thought for a while, frowned and asked: "In the opinion of the general, will they continue to attack tomorrow?"
Nalan Yu shook his head and replied in a deep voice: "They didn't take advantage of much today. They had many more casualties than us. They have to rest tomorrow, right?"
Ouyang Dongli looked at the two of them and replied quietly: "No matter what, we must prepare for the worst."
Nalanyu smiled bitterly and said: "In today's battle, they lost at least 20,000 people and injured countless more. If there are another few hard battles like this, they may not be able to continue this war."
After all, the Five Regions Dynasty currently only has 200,000 troops stationed in southern Xinjiang. If it is really needed, it is not a problem to send 500,000 troops.
Minghui smiled faintly: "What you see is only the bright side of the battlefield. The trouble Watson caused them is no less than what you see."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yu couldn't help but slap his thigh and said with a smile: "Why did I forget about Watson and Xiao Hei? They are the real killer moves!"
…
In the early morning of summer, there was a heavy rain, which made the weather in Xichun City look particularly beautiful.
Yun Tiannan got up early in the morning and followed Gongyang Chunqiu to the cultivated land outside the city. It was already past Chen hour when he returned to the city lord's mansion.
Duanmu Ruolan had already prepared breakfast. She looked at the two people who came in and said, "You two have breakfast first. The battle report from the front will be sent over soon."
Nan Tianyun looked at her and sighed: "I hope Chen'er can give me good news."
It was past half time, and instead of waiting for Yun Zhongchen's battle report, the three of them waited for Wang Danian.
"Hello, Mr. Island Master, and hello, Senior Gongyang!"
As soon as he entered the living room, Wang Danian greeted the two of them and then sat down in front of them.
Yun Tiannan picked up the tea cup in front of him, took a sip, looked at him and asked: "General Wang is here early in the morning. Is there any good news?"
Wang Danian was shocked when he heard that he quickly stood up and clasped his hands and said: "Please forgive me, the island owner, for the two thousand troops I sent to King Yelu's court were completely destroyed and failed to bring back any food and grass from the grassland..."
Resisting Yun Tiannan's violent thoughts, Wang Tiannian recounted what happened a few days ago.
In his opinion, it was not easy for him to be lucky enough to bring back five thousand war horses from Yelu Palace.
He even vaguely believed that if he had not agreed to the young man's conditions last winter, he would have become a lonely soul on the grassland like these two thousand troops.
You know, the deputy general he sent, Wang Dapeng, was in the middle stage of the Tribulation?
I would like to ask Yelu Royal Court, where can we find such a master?
Yun Tiannan was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Even Wang Dapeng, who went to the middle of the Tribulation, didn't come back alive?"
Wang Danian shook his head and replied quietly: "According to the plan, they should have returned to the three towns yesterday, but until now there has been no news."
Yun Tiannan glanced at the silent Gongyang Chunqiu and asked carefully: "What do you think, senior?"
Gongyang Chunqiu sighed and replied leisurely: "Since the military rations in front of the three towns will be harvested in a short time, there is no need to send people to die."
"There are no great monks on the grassland, but we cannot rule out that the Southern Xinjiang army has already planted powerful monks on the grassland, just like those of us who died in Nanyun City."
Gongyang Chunqiu thought of the disciples who died on Yinshan Mountain and Anqi who died in Nanyun City, and he couldn't help but sigh again.
Looking at Yun Tiannan and Duanmu Ruolan, he said: "Things have their own priorities. Now we must put all our strength in front of Nanyun City."
Yun Tiannan nodded, looked at Wang Danian and said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. You should first focus on the cultivation and harvesting of military grain in the three towns."
When Wang Danian heard this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if he was beaten to death, he didn't want to go to Yelu Palace to face the young man who looked like a murderous god.
What Yun Tiannan didn't expect was that not long after Wang Daqian left, the battle report from Nanyun City came in.
Yun Tiannan just glanced at it, and almost spurted out another mouthful of old blood. Gongyang Chunqiu couldn't help but put a palm on his back.
He said in a condensed voice: "Even if something big happens, the island owner must not do this. This is a war, not a child's play."
Duanmu Ruolan couldn't help but be shocked when she saw Yun Tiannan's expression. She stood up and picked up the battle report on the table. She frowned tightly after just one glance.
Even with her delicate orifices, she couldn't say anything at the moment.
Putting the battle report on the table, he turned around and walked out the door to let the maid come in and replace the three of them with new tea.
After waiting for a long time, Yun Tiannan let out a heavy breath, looked at Gongyang Chunqiu and said: "In this case, senior, please go to Nanyun City's tent to have a look. I will stay here and wait for the military rations to be harvested before making any plans.
.”
Even after learning about the massive defeat in front of Nanyun City, Yun Tiannan did not lose his composure.
He knew that the food and fodder of the army were more important than anything else at the moment, and he could not allow any more trouble.
Gongyang Chunqiu nodded, looked at him and said quietly: "In this case, I will walk in front of Nanyun City to see what kind of evildoers there are in this world."
Duanmu Ruolan thought for a while and said to Gong Yang Chunqiu: "Senior, please tell the young island master that when the army rations are collected, I will go to the front line with the island master."
…
But he said that Watson was staying at the entrance of King Yelu Court, with his head resting on the blue sky.
Xiao Hei has been away for two days and hasn't come back yet. It must be because the horses are running slowly.
After resting here for two days, the injuries on his body were slowly recovering. He was not in a hurry as he was waiting for Xiao Hei to bring the news from King Yelu Court.
In his opinion, as long as the three towns no longer send soldiers to Yelu Palace to collect grain and grass, his mission will be almost completed.
Perhaps, after waiting for Xiao Hei to come back, the two of them can return to Nanyun City.
The water just placed on the fire made a whirring sound, reminding the owner that it was time to make tea to clear his mind.
Watson, who was thinking about himself, was about to drop the tea leaves into the pot when he saw a gust of wind blowing in front of him.
But the old monk whom he hadn't seen for a long time sat in front of him.
Feeling happy in his heart, Watson chuckled and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, senior. I wonder how the war is going in front of Nanyun City? How is my godfather doing on Tianshan Mountain?"
The old monk shook his head, took a magical elixir and handed it to Watson. He smiled lightly and said, "You are just dealing with them on the grassland. Do you need to fight hard again and again?"
Watson was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and said, "Isn't it because they forced me to do nothing? The characters I encountered were all ruthless, each one more ruthless than the last."
The old monk sighed: "With your godfather's formation in Nanyun City, it won't be a big problem even if you persist for ten or eight years. If he wants to practice in Tianshan, he won't be involved in the war in southern Xinjiang."
"When should I return to Nanyun City?" Watson thought for a moment and asked, "It's too boring for me to stay on the grassland."
The old monk chuckled and said: "If you stay here, you will make the South China Sea army uneasy. Just wait a little longer. There is no rush."
"I asked Xiao Hei to go to the bottom of Yinshan Mountain to find Yelu Chucai."
Watson poured a cup of hot tea for the old monk and said softly: "Another two thousand troops came a few days ago and asked Xiao Hei and me to stay here. I asked Xiao Hei to inform King Khan..."
Watson looked troubled and said, "Although I made such a fuss and burned the food and grass of the two Heavenly Kings, if the three towns send another large army, it won't be easy for Xiao Hei and I to deal with it, right?"
The old monk ignored him, but smiled faintly: "You have asked so many questions, don't you want to know about your sisters? Or do you think they are not a big deal?"
As soon as he told the old monk, Watson suddenly thought about his sister, and his brows suddenly became filled with sadness.
Considering that my sister has spent a lot of time in Tianshan Mountain, I don't know if the two of them have broken through to a higher level of cultivation.
"Senior, please tell me about my sister."
Watson asked the question that he really cared about: "I think it shouldn't be a troublesome thing if they have a godfather to take them to practice?"
The old monk took a sip of tea, looked at him, smiled, and said quietly: "Those two girls are now in Fengyun City down the mountain. I think they will return to Tianshan Mountain in a few days."
"My sister actually went down the mountain?"
Watson had not expected this. In his opinion, it was only right that his sister and Tantai Xiaoyu should stay on the mountain to practice without any worries. How could they think of running down the mountain?
The old monk shook his head: "Since they are practicing hard in Tianshan, they naturally want to go back to the world to buy some daily necessities and see this world. By the way, these two girls are pretty good, they are already at the Nascent Soul realm."
Watson was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "With such cultivation, if they were still in Phoenix Mountain, they would probably have to practice hard for several years."
"So, you can stay outside Kaiyang City with peace of mind for now..."
The old monk patiently analyzed the current situation with Watson, and finally sighed heavily: "Whether it is good or bad, it is all your own creation. I will not provide you with any help."
Just like the old Taoist priest, the old monk won't even help his precious disciple.
This is the cause and effect of the Five Domains monk himself. The most he can do is take Yelu Mingzhu away from this world when she is alive and dead.
Watson nodded thoughtfully and laughed.
My sister is already a monk in the Nascent Soul Realm. As long as she stays on Tianshan Mountain for another year, she can take the two girls back to live in the small town after she returns.
To be continued...
