9, upstream

At the end of March of the sixth year of Qiyuan, the two-year-old Stone City was lost, and the demons' hands once again reached into Chiyou's hinterland.

No one expected that Yan Shifang made such a bet with Li Banshan with his life, but on the first day of becoming the commander, he handed over the Stone City to the demons without resistance, deepening the suspicion of undercover of the demons.

After that, he abandoned six cities in succession, and fought with the nine major Daotong and the vast Chiyou clan, so that he could finally get back the territory to Li Xueyi for free. The local Chiyou clan, who was originally full of hope for Yan Li, now when he mentioned him, he cursed with gritting teeth; the entire Chiyou domain was full of complaints, especially the Chiyou clan ruled by the demon clan, which simply hated Yan Li to his bones.

Yan Shifang's reputation plummeted, and Tiance Tower, the Immortal World, even removed him from the Tianchen List, saying bluntly that he was not qualified to be on the list, which made people applaud.

Frosty Leaf City is also a dangerous place, located deep in Panchan Mountain. The steep mountains on all sides of Panchan Mountain look like winding old vines from afar, so it is named. Compared with the sturdyness of Stone City, Frosty Leaf City is famous for its extraordinaryness. It is just surrounded by mountains raised on all sides. The only way to enter and exit is a line of sky gap between the mountain walls, which can only accommodate a carriage, so the exit cannot enter and the entrance cannot exit, otherwise traffic jams will be caused.

On a mountain peak where you can just observe the entire Shuangye City, Guan Xiaolong and Xu Longxiang stood side by side in black robe. Xu Longxiang observed the surroundings and said, "If you want to attack this city, you must cross mountains and ridges. It is really great for practitioners to wait for their work."

Guan Xiaolong knew that Xu Longxiang was definitely not saying this for the sake of practitioners, but just felt that the situation was very good to them and seemed to be a little indifferent. He felt that it was necessary to remind the latter of some details, so he spoke: "Why do you think Yan Shifang has repeatedly given up on the city and put himself in a situation of contempt for everyone?"

Xu Longxiang said: "He had a quarrel with Li Xueyi. He was sure that he could not defend the city himself. What else could he do except retreat step by step?"

Guan Xiaolong said: "I don't have to run around these years and read books often in my spare time. In the art of war, there is a word called "gathering momentum". How is the momentum formed? On the battlefield, momentum is people. The more people there are, the stronger the momentum. Yan Shifang seems to retreat step by step, but in fact, it is preparing to conquer the entire Chiyou region!"

Xu Longxiang suddenly shuddered and said, "What do you mean?"

Guan Xiaolong knew that the other party had taken it seriously, so he went deep into the following: "Yan Shifang withdrew from Stone City, and his troops were preserved intact. From then on, every city, even the guards were taken away. When he arrived at this city, the troops he gathered had reached a considerable scale. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Longxiang was not a fool either, and he suddenly felt enlightened. "I understand. He knew that Li Banshan left him in Shitou City to only use his men to defend, so he sent the city one after another in order to gather the available troops, and then choose a counterattack opportunity to wipe out the invading demons in one fell swoop! As long as the main force of the demons suffered heavy losses, he could take the opportunity to counterattack... He not only showed weakness to the enemy, but also completely reversed the situation that was originally unfavorable to him... This person..." He gritted his teeth, unable to think of any words to describe it, or in other words, all the words he could think of were suspected of destroying his own majesty, which made him unwilling to say it.

Guan Xiaolong said: "It's easy to do if you understand. What we have to do next is also clear. We will do our best to help the owner take down the Frost Leaf City. No matter how powerful he is, he will be unable to turn things around!"

"That's great, then what am I going to do?" Xu Longxiang became a little excited. As long as it was not good for Yan Li, he would be very proactive.

"Come here."

There is an old pine tree on the cliff of Xishan Mountain, and two people are standing at the bottom of the pine tree. They are also discussing the same thing, but they are in a very different mood.

"Your Highness, if Shuangye City is lost, the Chiyou Realm may be taken down by the poster. Are we just watching?" The person who spoke in men's clothes had the heroic spirit of a man and the femininity of a woman. It was both contradictory and contradictory, and a strange sense of harmony.

The one who is called His Highness is naturally Ye Qiuchi. His face was quiet, his eyes were like an ancient well, and he couldn't see what he was thinking about, but his tone was very low, "We need to determine two things first."

"Which two?"

"First, Yan Shifang retreated one after another, really to gather momentum? Second, why didn't the senior sister return from the evil prison? Is it true that she is in a seclusion and stable state as she said? I heard that she kidnapped a prisoner who should have been executed during the civil strife in the Jianting Court. The prisoner had a deep ceremonial celebration with Yan Shifang, and this behavior contained a lot of information."

“For example?”

"For example, how did the senior sister escape from the evil prison? According to her adoptive father, she hid in the Kunzhou and ran out secretly, but we overlooked a very critical issue: After so many years, she should have killed Yan Shifang in that ghost place. Why are both safe and sound? From the matter of plundering prisoners, I concluded that the senior sister and Yan Shifang must have an unknown relationship."

Lu Suxue sighed: "It's not surprising that there is one, this is your choice."

Ye Qiuchi's face flashed with a blue air, and he turned his head coldly, and said with anger: "It's your problem to let Yan Shifang get in, not mine!"

Lu Suxue sighed again: "Yes, the object is Yan Shifang, and the result is completely different... The poster looks more free and easy and happier than before. So do you suspect that Yan Shifang deliberately gave the city to the poster to make contributions?"

Ye Qiuchi took a deep breath and said, "It's just a small possibility. Unless he is really obsessed with ghosts and willingly gives up everything for his senior sister, intending to rebel into the demon world. No matter what, before the last moment, the possibility of our cooperation with Yan Shifang is at least not great in Shuangye City. Let's take a look at the situation."

"Here you come!" Lu Suxue suddenly said.

Ye Qiuchi turned around and looked. On the other side of the mountain, there were dense black demons and ghost army surged over, swimming in the water flying in the sky, digging out the soil, running on the ground, evil dog-like demons, demons with flesh-winged demons, ghost tribes who are good at digging soil, and strange-shaped demons, ghosts...

In Shuangye City, the conference halls were filled with each other. Huang Shouyi sat at Yan Li's lower head, too lazy to say a word. He didn't understand why Li Banshan had not sent the new letter of appointment yet, so that he would have to endure the kid's anger.

Yuan Qianquan first broke the silence and said tentatively: "Master Yan, you can't escape again this time, right?" He made up his mind that as long as Yan Li dared to say anything similar to retreat, he would immediately turn against him.

Yan Li said in surprise: "There is natural danger to guard, why should we escape?"

Yuan Qianquan's face suddenly turned blue, as if he was the one who advocated the escape from the city. When everyone heard that they wanted to fight, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the atmosphere was no longer so stiff.

"The question is, how to fight." Huang Shouyi said lightly.

Yan Li said: "What are the great ideas of the old senior?"

Huang Shouyi said sarcastically: "Senior? How dare I behave?

In just one tenth of my life, how could you, Yan Shifang, respect me as a senior? You also asked me what kind of high opinions, my high opinions meant that there was no high opinions!"

Yan Li said, "Then let me tell you what I think."

"Why can I even speak so much?" Huang Shouyi almost jumped up again. He thought he had the right to say something angry, but he didn't expect that the kid climbed up the pole and ignored him directly, how could he bear it?

Yan Li Buxian said indifferently: "Why do you have something to say directly?"

Huang Shouyi's face turned pale and could not help but think that the Shitou City was lost and the left and right was a foregone conclusion. It would be better to let him guard it by himself. Even if he lost Chi You in the end, it was the result of his will. Thinking of this, he snorted coldly, "The commander thinks he is more capable and doesn't like to listen to the old man's words, so just say it yourself."

Yan Li smiled and continued the words just now: "Li Xueyi must have taken advantage of the great victory to attack, so we will prepare for a head-on attack in Shuangye City. First of all, the attackers must be those demon-winged people. They are relatively low-intelligent and easy to deal with, but be careful of the black demon arrows. I think, they will be dealt with by Elder Tao."

"Here." Elder Tao is named Tao Qian, the elder of Jianting. He led fifty groups of Yuanchen to guard Shuangye City. The new leader sent an order to obey the new commander's orders unconditionally.

"From the spy's return, I only see Li Xueyi at the moment. I can deal with her, but if other experts appear, I will need more support from you."

“This is natural.”

"Elder Yuan, the Tao Ting's method is good at dealing with conflicts, so you will leave the demons and demons to you."

"I understand." Although Yuan Qianquan was reluctant, he still did not dare to openly disobey.

"You should also pay attention to the poisonous curse of the ghost clan. I have suffered a lot." Yan Li turned to another elder, "The method of Chunyang Temple has a counterproductive effect on the poisonous curse, so Elder Kong needs to worry about it."

Elder Kong's name is Kong Zhongxuan. He comes from the Qinyuan of the Four Academy of Guanqin, chess, calligraphy and painting. His piano skills have reached the pinnacle and he has reached the point of mastery when using music to defend against the enemy with his music, which can avoid the invasion of poisonous curses to the greatest extent.

Kong Zhongxuan was still a little excited at first, but seeing that Yan Li was well arranged, he agreed.

All the Taoist dynasties have their own duties, and the division of labor is clear, so the heart is at a close eye. The atmosphere is getting more and more lively, and some details are discussed.

At the end, Yan Li asked someone to prepare a banquet. After eating it, he performed his duties and went to the designated defensive position.

Li Zhengjun stayed alone and said to Yan Li in confusion: "All Taoist dynasties have assigned ministries, why do you just leave Shanghuang Temple idle?"

Yan Li smiled and said, "Of course, your role is more important, and you cannot let the third person know."

Li Zhengjun asked in confusion: "Is there any spy among us?"

Yan Li said, "I don't know this. However, if one person knows it, there will be more risks."

Li Zhengjun said: "Don't go around the corner!"

Yan Li sent a voice transmission: "You bring some disciples of the Chiyou clan who are familiar with the local area to secretly check the site of the demon clan and see where they set up camp. Li Xueyi is not a brainless person who advances. If Shuangye City cannot be captured for a few days, she will definitely find a place to camp. If there is a surprise attack from heaven, would you guess she is Gushou or Gushou?"

Li Zhengjun immediately laughed: "Okay, Yan Shifang, it turns out that he had the idea at the beginning."
