"Since the large-scale war between our Wei Dynasty and the surrounding demonic beast groups ended, and both sides recuperated and only small-scale frictions remained, Jin's General has been leading the troops to guard Jing'an City."
Liu Yong said solemnly: "At that time, His Majesty had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. In the past twenty years, the soldiers in the city defense camp under Jin Zhen's command have changed one batch after another, but he has always been here to take charge."
"After I was sent to Jing'an, I united the brothers in the mining area, but it only lasted ten years, and Miss Yu'er's Jile Building only rose to prominence within five years."
"But Jin Zhen, he has been operating in Jing'an City for twenty years!"
Liu Yong clenched his fists.
"Although it is said that in order to prevent the soldiers from only knowing the generals and not recognizing the emperor's orders, the soldiers in the city defense battalion will be rotated every few years, but Jin Zhen still controls the city defense battalion under his command so that no needle can penetrate it.
, water cannot be poured in."
Yu'er also spoke at the side: "I also wanted to subdue a few spies and place them in the city defense camp in order to collect some daily intelligence, but I tried all kinds of methods, but without exception, they all failed."
"My lord, although Jingan City is located on the border, with a mixture of fish and dragons in the city, and is often harassed by various groups of monsters, the resources around it are not lacking, especially mineral resources."
Liu Yong said: "However, none of the spiritual stones mined every day in our mining area are handed over to the court. My lord, this is not something that our brothers in the mining area have kept for themselves."
"The nearly a thousand brothers in our mining area only enjoy 20% of the spiritual stones mined every year!"
Liu Yong said angrily: "The remaining 80% was taken away by Jin Zhen. I don't know where he used it."
"No wonder I said that the mining area is busy every day, but the city lord's palace didn't even confiscate half of the spirit stone hair!"
Li Xun's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of murderous intent.
If he wants to govern Jing'an and have political achievements, what can he do without money?
I originally thought that by conquering the mining areas that controlled all the mineral deposits around Jingan City, I could tighten my purse strings.
But now it seems that there is still a big blood-sucking insect entrenched in the city, trying to suck Li Xun's blood!
"If I want Jingan City to be completely under my control, there must be no outliers like Jin Zhen in the city who don't listen to instructions or propaganda."
"And with this cancer, Jing'an City's mineral resources will never be able to develop."
"What's more, when the monsters attacked the city last time, it was Jin Zhen who held back his troops, which was why Luo Li was attacked and injured. I have always wanted to avenge Luo Li for this."
Li Xun's eyes were deep. Based on these three things, he had to get rid of Jin Zhen!
"The standing strength of the city defense camp recorded by the court was three thousand, so it was also called the Three Thousand Battalion."
Li Xun's fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "But as far as I know, there is an elite group of about twenty or thirty people at the core of the city defense camp.
Small troops, these are people who are not recorded in the books, they were Jin Zhen's former loyal subordinates, and they voluntarily surrendered to his private army after being discharged from the army."
"In the city lord's mansion, apart from me and Luo Li, there are only six ordinary yamen servants, and most of them are entry-level monks in the Yingqi realm. Only Yan Baotou's cultivation has reached the body forging realm. This level of combat power can almost be ignored.
Excluding."
Li Xun murmured: "Although Ji Lelou has some good soldiers under his command, compared with the army, they are not at the same level after all."
"Although many of my brothers in the mining area have served in the military, they have neglected training for a long time, and the number of them is also very different from that of the city defense camp."
Liu Yong naturally knew what Li Xun's purpose was in calculating the strength of both sides, and immediately said: "If the lord is ready to open up his posture and confront Jin Zhen's city defense camp head-on, then we have basically no chance of winning..."
"If you want to get rid of Jin Zhen, you can only look for opportunities and take action when he is alone!"
Yu'er's red lips parted slightly, and a faint killing intent flashed through her vertical pupils.
"Well said."
Li Xun said: "But now there is still one most critical question."
After saying that, Li Xun paused and said, "How strong is Jin Zhen?"
Hearing Li Xun's words, Liu Yong and Yu'er looked at each other, and then shook their heads in confusion at the same time.
no one knows.
Jin Zhen is usually quite low-key.
He only drank in the city defense camp almost all day long, and almost never touched anyone.
Even when monsters attacked the city, he only commanded his troops to withdraw from the city to preserve their strength. Not to mention attacking, he didn't even defend at all!
He has been guarding the border in Jing'an City for twenty years, but even his strength is a mystery to outsiders!
"Okay, we have to eat our food one bite at a time, and we have to do things step by step. We still know too little about the enemy. It seems that dealing with Jin Zhen will not happen overnight."
Li Xun touched his chin and said: "Okay, I already have an idea in my mind. Let's just maintain the status quo and stay put. I'll make a decision after I think it through."
"yes."
Liu Yong and Yu'er nodded at the same time.
The light in Li Xun's eyes flickered uncertainly, and there were many thoughts in his mind.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
If you want to get rid of the major problem of Jin Zhen, you must not act rashly. Otherwise, if you try to alert the enemy, it will be even more difficult.
"The road to the suburbs is far away, so the general should take the first step."
Liu Yong stood up, cupped his hands towards Li Xun, and said loudly.
"Um."
Li Xun nodded slightly.
Liu Yong turned around and left, leaving only Li Xun and Yu'er in the secret room.
Yu'er stood up, reached out and gave Li Xun another cup of tea, then moved behind Li Xun, stretched out her slender hands, and gently massaged his head near the temples.
"Master, there is no need to frown. Jin Zhen's matter is certainly difficult, but I believe that with master's wisdom and courage, he can always think of a solution."
Yu'er had obviously learned massage and her techniques were professional. Under her kneading, Li Xun gently closed his eyes and relaxed his brows.
"Being stronger in the end is the last word."
Li Xun murmured: "The sky is high and the emperor is far away. To me, it is a disadvantage. It allows Jin Zhen to blatantly disobey the orders of me, the city lord. But to Jin Zhen, it may not be all benefits. As long as
I am strong enough, even if I directly attack the city defense camp and push him all the way, it will be no problem. Even if the power behind him is overwhelming, water from far away cannot save the fire close by."
"Master, you are already strong."
Yu'er's hand gradually moved down along Li Xun's cheek, came to his shoulder and back, continued to press gently, and said softly: "Take your time, don't put too much weight on your shoulders.
Already."
Li Xun raised his hand and gently held Yu'er's catkin.
The fingertips were cold, but upon contact, there was a faint hint of scalding heat.
It's like a frozen hall, but there is a blazing firework hidden in the depths.
"Master, don't you need to go back to the city lord's mansion tonight?"
Yu'er's voice trembled slightly, she glanced at Li Xun in a panic, and then immediately lowered her gaze, like a frightened deer.
"Everyone has his or her own style. In front of me, Yu'er, you don't need to imitate the innocent little girl Zi Yin is."
Li Xun stretched out his hand to lift her chin. The two looked at each other. Li Xun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked: "In the afternoon, Yu'er, you deliberately tied the soaked belt for me. Now, wonderful
Liquified White Frost, by leaving it blank this time, aren't you taking the initiative to hint to me that you want me to stay tonight?"
Yu'er's eyes glanced at the brocade belt around Li Xun's waist. Under the flickering candlelight, a spot on it that seemed inconspicuous at first glance was actually covered with frosty white. This made her think of the afternoon again.
Everything he experienced in the dream was immediately reflected on Xiafei's cheeks.
"First let me dance a song for my master."
Yu'er's face had an innate evil aura, and she danced in front of Li Xun.
The bright red dress is like a rose in full bloom. As she dances, petals quietly fall from the stamens.
Amidst the rain of petals, Li Xun leaned on his chair and admired the beautiful scenery in front of him. When Yu'er danced beside him, he looked up and down, already recognizing mountains as mountains and water as water.
Two thousand words are omitted here...
Early the next morning, Li Xun woke up leisurely.
Opening the window, the cool morning breeze refreshed his spirit.
The complete release last night made him feel relaxed now, and it seemed that even the problems that had been bothering him before suddenly became clear!
"I have a solution on how to find the pure-blooded cat demon and the young snake demon queen!"
