Without saying a word, Huang Rong led the people to the city lord's mansion.
Seeing this, Lu Wende waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hey, hey, Huang Nuxia, don't leave in such a hurry."
Huang Rong ignored it and walked straight through the atrium.
The group of people looked into the living room and saw several aunts minding their own business eating side dishes.
Looking at this posture, who can't figure out what kind of person this Mr. Lu is?
Huang Rong felt angry when she thought of her brother Jing running around day and night because of the incident in Xiangyang City.
"Master Lu, I told you the day before yesterday about requesting the imperial court to dispatch troops and horses, do you still remember?"
"Huang Nvxia, you don't know something. I have rushed the rescue letter to Suzhou and Hangzhou for 800 miles, but the emperor wrote back and said that it is temporarily impossible to mobilize troops and horses to help."
"Why can't we allocate troops?!"
"Nvxia Huang, don't be so excited. Please listen to me carefully."
This Lu Wende does have some skills, at least he is very eloquent.
Although he is also a drunkard, his words are quite coherent, and he can explain the general idea in just a few words.
First of all, Xiangyang City is indeed very important as the city gate going south, but the enemy troops were divided into three groups and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops.
Under such circumstances, the imperial court could only take care of all the cities at the same time.
The Southern Song Dynasty had been in peace for many years, and there were not enough soldiers and horses. Now when the stalls are spread out, there are not enough soldiers and horses in all directions.
Xiangyang City already has a lot of troops, and it is good that they have not been transferred outside. Not to mention that the famous Guo Jing and Guo Daxia are still guarding Xiangyang City.
Huang Rong now fully understood that the imperial court wanted them, martial artists, to die.
She was extremely angry and could not even scold Lu Wende for a moment.
Unexpectedly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the crowd and slapped Lu Wende in the face.
"Then what's the use of a dog official like you!"
Lu Wende's helmet was slapped askew. He was stunned for a moment, and then cursed angrily.
"Who is it! Stand up for me!"
Everyone looked at each other in shock, but no one stood up.
Only Huang Rong glanced at the elders of the Beggar Clan and happened to catch a glimpse of Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan didn't dare to say anything. In fact, he just saw that Lu Wende was so fat and so capable, so he slapped him conveniently.
Now that someone was about to be arrested, he was a little panicked.
Seeing Lu Wende roaring louder and louder, Huang Rong was too embarrassed to stay any longer and took the elders of the Beggar Clan away without saying a word.
When Huang Rong and his party left, Lu Wende's face instantly darkened.
Seeing this, the concubine on the side stepped forward to help him straighten his helmet and said in a charming voice.
"Sir, don't be angry."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Lu Wende slapped the concubine with his backhand, causing her to fall to the ground. The ground was covered with blood.
The power of a palm is really quite powerful.
"Hmph! How can a bunch of rabble be so arrogant and domineering! One day, I, Lu Wende, will make you look good!"
Guo Mansion.
I rushed to inquire about the reinforcements early in the morning, only to receive this news.
Huang Rong didn't look good, and the elders of the Beggar Clan also looked gloomy.
Lu Youjiao is the 20th generation leader of the Beggar Clan. Although his martial arts skills are not high, he is devoted to the people and is not afraid of hardship or fatigue.
He sighed.
"Oh~ I didn't expect that the reinforcements we had been waiting for for so many days were gone. Now we have to let our brothers from the Beggar Clan take over."
Apart from Lu Youjiao, among the martial arts masters guarding Xiangyang, there was also a man named Zhu Ziliu.
This man is the apprentice of Master Nandi Yideng, one of the five great masters. He is good at using Yiyang Finger, has a high intelligence, but is not very good at martial arts.
Hearing his old friend's complaint, Zhu Ziliu did not agree, but casually closed the folding fan and knocked unconsciously.
It can be seen that this incident also made him very embarrassed.
"If there are no reinforcements from the court, even if the brothers from the Beggar Clan are sent to defend the city, I'm afraid it won't be ideal."
Huang Rong was sitting at the head of the table, how could she not understand Zhu Ziliu's worries.
Now the Mongolian army has raised 300,000 troops, but there are only 30,000 defenders in Xiangyang City. Even if thousands of Beggar Gang disciples are added, it is not enough.
The most important thing is that the Mongolian army contains many martial arts masters who were recruited with huge sums of money, including many long-established figures in the world.
If they used Qinggong to rush up to the city tower, the people in Xiangyang City alone would not be able to stop them.
Huang Rong was eager to recruit Chen Xuan when she first saw him. In fact, she was in need of helpers, and they were powerful masters.
She leaned forward, glanced at Chen Xuan sitting at the end, and frowned.
"Hey, what about you."
"Huang Nuxia is calling me?" Chen Xuan responded subconsciously.
"You have also seen that Xiangyang City's defenses are now empty. I want you to go outside the city to inquire about the enemy. Are you willing?"
[Huang Rong wants to send you out of the city to spy on the enemy. Your choice is...]
【A: It is my duty to do so! 】
[Reputation in the world +100, Huang Rong’s favorability +1]
【B: Forget it, forget it, I'm afraid of death.】
[Reputation in the world -50, reward a little red horse]
"Little red horse? Why is there a little red horse?"
Chen Xuan felt strange and tried to refuse.
"Huang Nuxia, your request is a bit overwhelming, isn't it?"
"Are you afraid?"
"I'm really a little scared." Chen Xuan said with a smile.
Huang Rong cursed in her heart for being shameless, but Chen Xuan was so shameless that it actually forced her to add more chips.
"In this way, if you go out of the city this time, I can give you another good horse."
"A good horse?"
"Yes, it was brought by my brother Jing from the grassland. It has the blood of a sweaty horse, and its pace is much faster than ordinary horses."
Chen Xuan didn't expect that there would really be a chance, so he hesitated and agreed.
After all, it wouldn't hurt to have a little red horse.
When the remaining two people saw this, they had the opportunity to mention it casually.
"May I ask Huang Nuxia, who is this young hero?"
"His name is Chen Xuan. If you need help with anything, you can come to him."
"Chen Xuan?"
Zhu Ziliu thought for a moment and said curiously.
"I wonder where this young hero learned from?"
"This junior is not a disciple of a famous family. If I have to say it, I can say that he is self-taught."
Chen Xuan scratched his head, these words inevitably meant to put gold on his face.
Zhu Ziliu and Lu Youjiao looked at each other and thought this young man was quite interesting.
At this time, the two of them did not know that Chen Xuan had already mastered the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon and the Nine Yin and Nine Yang Magic Skills.
If they found out, they would be shocked.
Huang Rong wanted to settle accounts with Chen Xuanqiu, so she naturally didn't want Lu Youjiao and the others to get too close to him, so she urged her.
"Without further delay, I will explain it to you about spying on military intelligence. You can leave the city as soon as possible."
"That's fine."
Having come to this point, Chen Xuan naturally couldn't refuse, so he nodded.
I just don’t know what kind of opponent I will encounter if I go outside the city?
