After hearing Ning Chen's question about the order again, Xuan Ku knew that he could not avoid it and said frankly: "Everyone in the world knows that the leader of Ning Yuan is the confidant of His Majesty today.
At the same time, the two commercial towns were also recaptured by the Wu Dynasty from the head of Ningyuan.
Therefore, this matter should be reported to the head of Ningyuan first."
Ning Chen nodded and said: "This is not bad for you.
First, if you throw it away from me and take it back from me, you will gain face.
Secondly, by using me first and then going to the imperial court, it can further highlight the fact that I wield power over the world and use the emperor to control the princes. It will completely turn me into a powerful and treacherous minister."
After hearing Ning Chen's words, Xuan Ku hurriedly explained: "The head of Ning Yuan has misunderstood, and we have absolutely no intention of trapping the head of Ning Yuan into disloyalty or unrighteousness."
Ning Chen raised his hand and pressed it and said, "Don't be so nervous. I don't resist being a traitor."
When the topic changed, Ning Chen continued: "You have no problem treating me as a traitor, but you can't treat me as a fool, right?"
"Head of Ningyuan, we are here to help sincerely, without any ill intentions. I don't know why, Head of Ningyuan, you would say this?" Xuan Ku said in confusion.
Ning Chen smiled: "You yourself know whether I am sincere or not. You also know whether there is no malice.
That's all I have to say, and I don't need any help.
Since you are here as an envoy, I am quite particular.
You know the rules of Buza's envoys, so you can get out now."
Xuan Ku didn't expect that he wouldn't have the chance to discuss it with Ning Chen in detail.
Just like that, he was dismissed by Ning Chen.
However, Xuan Ku still wanted to fight for it: "Chief Ning Yuan, we really come here with sincerity. Moreover, this matter will benefit the Wu Dynasty and the human race without any harm."
"Really? But I don't need it." Ning Chen said teasingly.
"Chief Ning Yuan, what you are doing is definitely not the behavior of a loyal minister?"
Ning Chen glanced at Xuan Ku and said, "What you said is not what a monk should say.
What's more, you thought I was a treacherous minister from a long time ago because I made such a choice.
Isn’t it just what you want?”
Before Xuan Ku could say anything else, Ning Chen said coldly: "Zheng Da is seeing off the guests."
As soon as Ning Chen finished speaking, Zheng Da entered the tea room.
Seeing that Xuan Ku and the other two people seemed to have no intention of leaving, Ning Chen's voice immediately turned cold:
"If you two still refuse to leave, then I can't continue to be your envoys.
The messenger will not stay around forever.
Those who refuse to leave are usually enemies.
I’m not that particular about how I treat my enemies.”
Ning Chen has already said this.
Xuan Ku can no longer stay here.
Especially looking at Fang Xiong who was eager to try, Xuan Ku didn't intend to stay here anymore.
Once a fighting maniac like Fang Xiong gets entangled with him, it will be very troublesome.
"Since the head of Ningyuan has made a decision, I will not disturb you anymore. I will leave." Xuan Ku stood up and clasped his hands together and said.
Ning Chen nodded and said to Zheng Da: "Send the two of them out of Baijia City."
"Yes, sir."
After saying this, Zheng Da made way for a passage and made a gesture of invitation.
Xuan Ku looked at Ning Chen one last time, then took his disciples and followed Zheng Da out of Ning Chen's mansion.
Zheng Da has been following the two people, obviously intending to send them out of Baijiacheng.
After Xuan Ku and the two had gone far away, Fang Xiong asked Ning Chen, "Do you really think there is fraud in the Western Region's proposal?"
Ning Chen explained to Fang Xiong, "I don't know what kind of fraud there is in their proposal.
But I know that there is absolutely no friendship between the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions and the Wu Dynasty.
When an enemy proposes a very tempting cooperation plan to you.
Then this enemy will most likely either dig a hole for you or intend to take advantage of you.
So whatever is hidden in their proposal, it's definitely not a good thing."
Fang Xiong nodded and said, "What you said is similar to what the Marquis said."
Ning Chen looked at Fang Xiong in a funny way and said, "According to your point of view, only when I say something similar to what the Marquis said, or say the same thing, will you consider it to be true. Anything else you say will be false by default?"
Fang Xiong was honest, nodded and said to Ning Chen: "That's it.
If you also said what the Marquis said, then it is absolutely true.
If the Marquis has not said it, but you have.
I won't take it seriously, but I will listen.
Because the Marquis has told me to listen to you."
Ning Chen now understands who Fang Xiong is.
This is definitely a fan of Marquis Dingguo.
Ding Guohou can handle such a crazy fan, which shows that Ding Guohou is a high-ranking idol.
"How is your inspection of General Fang's city defense? Are there any areas that we need to repair?" For idiot fans, if they continue to discuss the fan circle, they will definitely not get anything out of the discussion, so it is more important to talk about business.
As for the two envoys from the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions, Ning Chen didn't take them seriously at all.
Ning Chen was not worried either, Xuan Ku and the two of them went to lobby elsewhere.
If the two of them really went to lobby elsewhere, Ning Chen would still have to thank them.
Ning Chen is now in a critical period when his [佞] point is rising.
At this time, if Xuan Ku and two people continue to add fuel to their fire in the four northern states, Ning Chen must thank them properly.
…
When it comes to his profession, Fang Xiong has also returned to his level: "City defense does not require too many changes. Continuing to maintain the status quo is enough to cope with the impact of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom."
Ning Chen nodded and continued to ask: "As for the soldiers, do we need to add more soldiers?"
Fang Xiong replied: "If there is, it is naturally the best.
Judging from the current battle situation, our battle with the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom will definitely be a protracted war.
In a protracted war, the more soldiers the better."
Ning Chen nodded and said immediately: "This is easy to handle. I will order Guo Xin to post notices and go out to recruit soldiers later.
There are not a few people practicing martial arts in Baijia City.
It’s just that there has never been a large-scale recruitment before, so there should be many available people in the city.”
Fang Xiong said: "Give these newly recruited people to me after they are recruited."
Ning Chen didn't hesitate and agreed directly.
Ning Chen understood what Fang Xiong meant. Fang Xiong was worried that some of the recruited people might have problems.
In fact, Ning Chen was also worried, so Ning Chen felt that it would be safest to leave it to Fang Xiong.
First of all, Fang Xiong’s strength lies here.
This makes those who want to cause trouble have to think carefully.
In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy and trickery are in vain.
Secondly, Fang Xiong's experience and methods of leading troops meant that Fang Xiong was not too bad at recognizing people.
Especially when it comes to judging spies, Fang Xiong naturally has rich experience.
After confirming these two things, Ning Chen called Guo Xin over.
After Guo Xin arrived, Ning Chen also said straight to the point: "Wait a minute and post a notice recruiting soldiers. All treatment will be calculated according to official soldiers.
The first batch of recruitment is two hundred people. The requirements must be high-grade warriors.
After recruiting a sufficient number, they will be directly handed over to General Fang for training."
Guo Xin cupped his hands and responded.
Then Ning Chen began to explain the second thing: "This attack by the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom will not end in a short time.
It will last at least another month or two.
Materials and food in the city are distributed normally every day, and there is no need to reduce the quantity or supply.
I still have a batch of food on hand, which is several times more than the total food we have now.
Therefore, we have no shortage of food and supplies, and there is no need to be harsh on the people in this regard.
If there are still refugees around who want to join, continue to follow the previously formulated measures.
As for personnel composition, we still need to go all out to screen."
Ning Chen's explanation gave Guo Xin a big reassurance.
This time, the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is coming fiercely, and Guo Xin can also see that this wave of offensive will not end in a short time.
In the past two days, Guo Xin was actually worried about the food and grass in the city.
Although Ning Chen had successfully obtained a warehouse full of grain, grass and supplies before.
However, the number of people in the same Baijia City has also expanded a lot.
There is no problem for a short period of time, but if it really lasts for too long.
There will definitely be problems with this food and supplies.
After all, this is wartime, and the consumption of soldiers during wartime is more than twice that in normal times.
It's easy to tell if the time is short, but if the time is long, something will definitely go wrong.
Now that Ning Chen says this, Guo Xin has no worries at all.
"I humbly accept my order!" When Guo Xin agreed, he felt quite confident.
Hearing the change in Guo Xin's tone, Ning Chen asked, "Master Guo was worried before that I couldn't get food.
You were worried that I would lose face if you told me, so you didn’t mention the food and supplies to me, right?"
Guo Xin hurriedly held up his hands and said: "There is absolutely no such meaning in a humble position.
I just felt that the warehouses in Baijiacheng were full.
How to maximize the utility of these grains is the responsibility of the humble position.
Since I have accepted my uncle's appointment, I can't go to my uncle for help in everything.
If that's the case, what's the use of holding a humble position?"
"The consciousness is good, keep it up, go down and do your own thing."
Guo Xin continued to hold his hands, and after a moment's hesitation he asked: "Uncle, when I came to humble duty, I saw my uncle's general.
Send the two people from the Western Region towards the city gate.
I wonder how my uncle talked with them?"
Ning Chen replied casually: "Those two bald donkeys didn't have any good intentions, so I sent them away.
You should be more careful in the future, these bald donkeys have no other ability but they are really good at deceiving people."
"Yes. I have made a note of it. After I have humbled my position, I will definitely stay away from these bald donkeys." Guo Xin replied immediately.
"Okay, you have nothing to do here. You can go down and do your work." Ning Chen waved his hand and said.
"Yes, I'm sorry to say goodbye."
After Guo Xin left, Ning Chen originally planned to stay with Fang Xiong to have lunch with him.
However, Fang Xiong had no intention of staying for dinner, and instead asked Ning Chen to send the Dragon Guard away.
After working with Shenlongwei twice, Fang Xiong is now more and more comfortable using them.
What's more, in the current war, letting the Shenlong Guards out is the best spy and internal response.
The Shenlong Guard staying with Ning Chen will not give Ning Chen any sense of security.
Letting Fang Xiong take him away would maximize his benefits.
After handing the Shenlong Guard to Fang Xiong, Ning Chen had lunch.
I also went to the city wall for a walk myself.
The current attackers in Baijia City are not the main force of one of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdoms.
It's just those tribes under the governance of the demon kingdom.
However, the number of this tribe is quite large.
According to the results of the investigation, the number of tribes opposite Baijia City is approximately three hundred.
In terms of number of people, there are probably around 100,000 demon clans.
Of course, there is still a difference between demon clans and real demon soldiers.
This difference is similar to that between ordinary people and warriors.
When the monsters become wise, they become the monster clan.
Kaizhi is considered to be the ninth level of demon cultivator.
But this ninth grade is a ninth grade that really has no fighting ability.
It's just a matter of enlightening the monsters and allowing them to think independently.
Of course, independent thinking is not important to humans.
But for the demon clan, it is the most important step towards transitioning from beasts to 'human beings'.
The eighth level of the demon clan is transformation.
At the stage of transformation, the attack power will increase a bit, but the increase is actually limited.
It is far less significant than the changes brought about by the entry of human warriors.
Therefore, the first two levels of the demon clan are basically just decorations.
But this decoration is only for human race.
Because these two levels are the most important starting stage for the demon clan.
For humans, this is something they are born with.
Many humans believe that the reason why the demon clan has always had a bad relationship with the human race.
Maybe this unfairness is also at work.
In fact, despite looking at the first two levels of the Monster Clan, there are basically no changes, but due to innate conditions.
In fact, after becoming a demon clan, he already has considerable combat power.
At least five or six untrained ordinary people would not be the opponent of a ninth-grade demon clan.
Having said that, the humans who can go to the battlefield must have been trained.
But these monsters in the tribe are not as lucky as the human warriors.
Many times the meaning of their existence is simply cannon fodder and consumables.
For example, now, they are just consumables that consume the strength of Baijiacheng.
Even among the 100,000 monsters on the opposite side, only 10%, or even half, can truly display their combat effectiveness.
With their numerical advantage, they can continue to consume hundreds of cities.
It’s not just a consumption of people, but also a consumption of materials.
It's just that the plan of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is good.
It was because they had misjudged the amount of resources Ning Chen had on hand.
Robbed a wave of Yu Yuan's supplies.
Ning Chen is very wealthy now.
Rune Cannonball, Yun Xuanzi and the people from the traditional Taoist sect are in their own Baijia City.
There is no need for Ning Chen to worry or consider this aspect.
It’s just money. Is Ning Chen short of money now?
So Ning Chen is really not afraid of fighting a protracted war.
Ning Chen appeared on the city wall, and the soldiers guarding the city were all in high spirits.
At first glance, this is Guo Xin’s contribution.
Ning Chen has disappeared for more than ten days.
As a city lord, he disappeared from his city for more than ten days.
The guards in the city were still so excited to see me,
It can only mean that Guo Xin is helping Ning Chen win people's hearts.
Of course, it was also because Ning Chen was willing to provide these soldiers with sufficiently high benefits.
Otherwise, without the benefits provided by Ning Chen, Guo Xin's efforts to help Ning Chen win over people would be in vain.
After punching the city wall, Ning Chen went to the place where the demon clan was imprisoned.
After several consecutive battles, there were thousands of demon clans captured in Baijia City.
Here, when Ning Chen left, he was handed over to Little Fat Dragon to take care of him.
When the little fat dragon saw Ning Chen coming, he stopped patting his belly.
"You're back." Little Fat Dragon asked enthusiastically.
Ning Chen looked at the little chubby dragon who was obviously getting fatter and growing closer to a bucket and said, "Isn't your growth rate very gratifying?"
"It's not bad, but these levels are too low. It takes too much effort to refine the blood in their bodies." Little Fat Dragon said, looking at the cages where they were held.
Ning Chen looked at the monsters in the cage and said, "Are they all controlled by you now?"
The little fat dragon nodded and said proudly: "I am a divine beast. Humans can become divine dragon guards, let alone these monsters."
"I'm going to take away all these monsters and turn them into mounts. Are they all under control? This is no joke?" Ning Chen interrupted the bragging little fat dragon.
Although Ning Chen said seriously, the little fat dragon still patted his big belly and assured: "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, they will all be honest.
But now that there are more of them, the scope of my control over them is a little smaller.
Within a range of two hundred miles, there will be no problem."
"That's enough."
These monsters, Ning Chen, are all used to guard Baijia City.
I wouldn't have gone too far in the first place.
At most, we can only move within a hundred miles radius.
Two hundred miles is enough.
"I will take these monsters away directly. When I catch new ones, I will have them delivered to you."
As Ning Chen said this, he put all the monsters into his own ghost world.
"Hey, why did I lose contact with them?" As soon as Ning Chen put the people in, the little fat dragon said in surprise.
"I will tell you what happened when you compensate me for stealing my Holy Will Fruit before." Ning Chen said to the little fat dragon.
The little chubby dragon fiddled with his chubby fingers and said, "I told you, I'm still young.
I can’t open my own treasure house, but I will definitely return it to you when I grow up.
Why don't you give me some more fruit like that? Maybe when I eat it, I can grow up."
Ning Chen has long understood this naive little chubby dragon.
This is a Lord who can enter but cannot leave.
"Then you grow up slowly."
Without saying a word, Ning Chen took these monsters and went to find Fang Xiong.
Let Fang Xiong make arrangements and arrange these demon knights.
Let the Huwei troops from the two military towns become demon knights first.
After all, they are now responsible for the main defensive tasks.
If all of them are equipped with demon knights, their movement speed and efficiency will inevitably be greatly improved.
Of course, the most important thing is that he is cool enough to deserve the title of Uncle Champion.
