Yan Qing was sitting on the eaves, her calves swaying back and forth. She looked up at the high crescent moon, while her mind was pondering the news she had just heard.
Soon everyone in the meeting hall dispersed to rest. Yan Songzheng walked out for a while and seemed to feel something. He suddenly turned around and saw his sister sitting on the eaves. Seeing him turn around, she made a silent gesture with him.
Yan Songzheng narrowed his eyes and smiled, and while discussing with his colleagues, he walked towards the room assigned to him.
As he approached the room, he noticed that his colleague was showing signs of wanting to talk to him all night long. He yawned loudly, and the other party had no choice but to say "have a good rest" and left.
He returned to the room, closed the door, but opened the window, then used the small stove prepared in the room to boil hot water and made a pot of tea.
The window moved almost inaudibly, a breeze passed by, and Yan Qing was already standing in the house.
"Qing'er, why are you here?" Yan Songzheng didn't know the news that she had broken off the engagement. Their brothers were directly transferred from their respective military camps.
"What I can do, I naturally come out to practice." Yan Qingzheng sat down, politely picked up the cup of tea that Yan Songzheng had just poured, and drank it in one gulp.
"Brother, didn't you bring some good tea?" She frowned.
"Qing'er, this is a border gate, not the capital, let alone Tianyimen. Don't ask too much." Yan Songzheng shook his head and said funny.
Yan Qingzheng shrugged helplessly.
"Qing'er, are you here with Prince Xuan this time?"
Yan Qing was stunned for a moment, but then she realized that her brother didn't know the news about the break-up of the engagement. Somehow, she didn't want to explain clearly, so she said vaguely: "Hmm... guess?"
However, Yan Songzheng believed that it was Rong Che who brought her here. He sighed and shook his head: "This Prince Xuan is really true. He is still the commander of the first army in vain. He is actually like this, regardless of the importance of the military camp. He brought you in to do this."
What?"
Yan Qingzheng immediately pouted in displeasure: "Brother can be so rigid! I'm not a petite young lady from a noble family in the capital. Don't you know what I'm capable of?"
"My brother naturally knows your abilities, but after all, this place has become a battlefield. You are still young and a girl. Are you willing to see the cruelty of war?"
What Yan Songzheng was thinking about was not to despise her, but to feel sorry for her.
"Brother, don't worry, Qing'er is not that fragile."
"What can happen now? Where do you live? My brother will send you back." Yan Songzheng sighed and could only accept the reality.
"Uh, no need, brother." Yan Qing waved his hand and said, "I don't live in the military camp. There are shops in the city, so I'll live there."
"Oh, this arrangement is quite reasonable!"
"Brother, Jiuyoumen is difficult to deal with. I think Rong Che's method may not work." Yan Qing was changing the subject quickly, for fear that her brother would send her back.
"Oh? Judging from the information currently available, Prince Xuan's arrangement is not wrong?"
"In the current situation, he is indeed right to arrange this, but don't forget that the opponent is Jiuyoumen. They are famous for their unscrupulous tactics."
"Sister, do you have a better way?"
"Of course we still have to hold on, but we are most afraid of being besieged by the other side. Once the other side cuts off supplies and reinforcements, Dongling Pass will be in danger."
"What should I do?"
"Thunder means must be used to eliminate Jiuyoumen's idea of using cultivators to break through Dongling Pass."
Yan Songzheng shook his head and said: "The Nine Nether Sect is huge and deeply rooted, with countless cultivators. What kind of thunderous means can force them to bow their heads?"
Yan Qingzheng nodded and said: "Under normal circumstances, this is indeed the case, but Qing'er has a guess. If it is confirmed, he can fly his sword and pass the book to Tianyi Sect. At that time, Tianyi Sect will actually send experts to help. Dong
The crisis at Lingguan can be resolved!"
Yan Songzheng was surprised and asked curiously: "Sister, what kind of guesses do you have? You can actually let Tianyimen send experts?"
"Sister, go and find out. If it's confirmed, then talk to your brother. It's useless to talk more at this time." Yan Qingzheng refused to say anything.
"So mysterious?..." Yan Songzheng curled his lips, "I think you just want to take risks!"
"Brother!" Yan Qing pouted and said, "If you see through it, don't tell me!"
"Okay, okay! If you don't say it, don't say it. No one can control you anyway. Just know how to pay attention to your own safety." Yan Songzheng said helplessly.
"Brother, don't worry, I am sensible."
After leaving Yan Songzheng's room, Yan Qingzheng jumped into the air. After identifying the direction in the air, he left with his sword.
Yan Songzheng returned to the room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Rong Che was not doing something right, so he got up and went to the meeting hall. As expected, Rong Che was still here and did not go back to rest.
He went in, exchanged a few words, and then directly advised Rong Che not to act on his sister's whim in the future.
Rong Che listened inexplicably and looked confused. It wasn't until Yan Songzheng mentioned Yan Qingzheng's analysis that he stood up and stared at Yan Songzheng.
"You said Miss Seven is here too? At Dongling Pass?"
"Eh? You don't know! Didn't you bring her here?" Yan Songzheng realized something was wrong, and Rong Che should be concerned about the war analysis at the moment. Why did he care more about the person who made the analysis?
"Where is Miss Seven? Take me to see her!" Rong Che's heart was beating wildly, but he suppressed it and asked in a calm tone.
"Oh, she went to visit Jiuyoumen at night... By the way, you really didn't know she was coming?"
"I really don't know!" Rong Che's eyes dimmed, and then he became a little angry again: "It's so random, why didn't you stop her?"
"Qing'er's cultivation level is higher than mine. She has been very creative since she was a child. How can I stop her?" Yan Songzheng slumped his shoulders and said, "It shouldn't be a big deal just to spy on the military situation. Besides, Qing'er is willing to
I’m not trying to help you like this!”
Rong Che stiffened for a moment, smiled bitterly in his heart, and shook his head: "I'm afraid not... We have already broken off the engagement, and there is no reason for the seventh lady to do this for me."
"Wha...what? Did you break off the engagement? When did this happen?"
"I just broke off the engagement before I left Beijing. I'm afraid the news hasn't spread yet."
"This..." This sudden news confused Yan Songzheng's thoughts. Although their brothers had thought about breaking off their engagement after returning to Beijing, they both changed their minds after meeting Rong Che.
"Why did you break off the engagement? Whose idea was it?"
"Sir Xiaoyan...it was your father who personally came to your home to withdraw from your marriage." And twice!
"Then...then you agree?"
"What can I do if I don't agree? Yanfu's attitude is firm." I feel like I have been disliked. How can I be so shameless and refuse to break off the engagement!
However, Yan Qingzheng had already quietly sneaked into Jiuyoumen's stronghold at this time, checked the terrain from a high place, and then headed straight for a tall tent.
Yan Qingzheng went in and listened for a while, then walked out with a solemn expression.
She looked around again and retreated before alerting the guards.
She went directly back to Yan Songzheng's room, who was worried about her breaking off the engagement.
As soon as he saw her coming in, he immediately jumped up and asked, "Qing'er, was it your idea to break off the engagement?"
Yan Qing paused and asked in surprise: "Brother went to find him?"
"Yes! You didn't tell your brother anything about this kind of thing..." Yan Songzheng said with some complaints.
"Brother!" Yan Qing was stamping his feet, "How long has it been, and you are still entangled in your children's personal relationship!"
When Yan Songzheng saw that she refused to say anything, he sighed and said, "Okay, tell me what you gained from this trip? Have you confirmed your guess?"
Yan Qingzheng's expression changed, and he nodded with difficulty: "This matter is no longer something Feng Rong can solve. I have already sent a message to the master with Feijian, and there will be a reply soon!"
"So serious! What on earth is going on?" Yan Songzheng became more and more curious.
Yan Qing's expression darkened.
She got a guess based on the notes of Tianyimen's senior, that is, there is a secret in Miao'er Mountain. The senior guessed that there is a secret realm in Miao'er Mountain, or there is an immortal cave, so how many Taoist monks went there to explore thousands of years ago?
There will be some gains that will help them ascend to the immortal world. Later, the World War broke out, Miao'er Mountain was destroyed, and the secret realm or the entrance to the Immortal Cave was destroyed, so no one has ascended for thousands of years!
Now, through years of exploration and analysis, Jiuyoumen has basically determined that the entrance to the secret realm on Miaoer Mountain will soon be revealed.
In order to keep this secret, they decided to take the risk and occupy Dongling Pass to block the news and prepare for long-term exploration as a base.
Yan Songzheng immediately became worried after hearing this: "If a large number of cultivators come and Xuanmen comes forward, Dongling Pass will be in chaos!"
"Yes!" Yan Qingzheng nodded in agreement, but if we don't involve all the Xuanmen in the world, there is no guarantee that the Jiuyoumen family will not benefit. With Jiuyoumen's style and rapid increase in strength, it will be a disaster for the Xuanmen.
Already.
"Aren't you...going to meet Prince Xuan?" Yan Songzheng suddenly asked.
"Brother!" Can we still have a serious chat?
"Okay, pretend I didn't say anything." Yan Songzheng took a deep breath, stood up and said, "I need to discuss this matter with him. After all, it is of great importance."
"Well," Yan Qingzheng also stood up and said, "I live in a shop in the city. Brother, if you need anything, just come and see me."
"Okay." Yan Songzheng nodded and said: "Although your cultivation level is high, there are so many fish in the city at this time, so you should not go out and walk around unless necessary."
"knew."
The brother and sister separated. When Yan Qing was flying away, he turned around and looked at Rong Che from a distance, who was discussing matters with Yan Songzheng. He saw a trace of solemnity on his face, and felt inexplicably.
Somewhat heavy.
Then she bit her lower lip and left.
Early the next morning, shopkeeper Chi reported that a notice had been posted in the military camp to collect building materials, daily necessities, rice, flour, oil and grain and other supplies from the people in the city. Although some compensation was given, it was far below the market price.
"What is he going to do?"
Yan Qing was puzzled by the explanation.
Many supplies from the Ginkgo Chamber of Commerce were confiscated, and shopkeeper Chi had a grimace all day long.
"The skin is gone, the hair is gone! We have a close relationship with Dongling Pass. As long as Dongling Pass is saved, everything can be earned back. If Dongling Pass is broken, just imagine what items in our shop can be saved."
Just hold on!" Yan Qing was comforting him, finally making Shopkeeper Chi's expression soften a little.
In the afternoon, Yan Songzheng came over quietly and solved her doubts.
Rong Che wants to build a small town at the foot of Miaoer Mountain!
