There is always a feeling of laziness when the spring sunshine shines on people. Zhou Yunfei, who has nothing to do, is lying on Diao Chan's lap at the moment, looking at the various birds flying by from time to time outside the carriage window, and boringly thinking about all the irrelevant things.
.
The third prince and Bill, who were following the carriage on horseback, had gradually gotten used to it after experiencing the shock of the first few days. These soldiers who could not be named made the two people who saw professional soldiers for the first time scream in disbelief and were ordered to remain silent.
The march seemed to be carved out of the same pattern. The indifferent expression showed no other expression except the inner excitement when seeing Zhou Yunfei. A kind of silent pressure made the scalp of the two people numb. The two of them were also considered.
A knowledgeable master, but this was the first time he encountered such an army that made people feel pressured all the time, and he broke out in cold sweat. Especially the yellow-armored sergeant who was guarding Zhou Yunfei. Whenever the two of them approached the carriage, the glances they glanced at made people shudder.
Stiff, the third prince has reason to believe that as long as the two of them make any dangerous moves, no matter you are the emperor, there will definitely be a few bright silver lights flashing through, and that flash is the cold light reflected by the tip of the gun. First
In the sky, the third prince was almost killed by several soldiers who were trapped in the battle. Fortunately, Zhou Yunfei shouted quickly. At that time, the tip of the spear touched the third prince's chest, and he stopped abruptly. Then the soldier slowly retracted the tip of the spear and coldly
He stared at the third prince as if looking at a dead person.
Since that time, whenever the third prince thought of the soldier's eyes that day, he immediately broke into a cold sweat. He believed that if Zhou Yunfei hadn't shouted to stop, he would have died. He didn't blame Zhou Yunfei, nor did he blame the soldier.
He clearly understands that he is an outsider to this army, and even if he is a partner, he must abide by the rules. Zhou Yunfei is too important, and it can also be seen that Zhou Yunfei's status in the hearts of the soldiers is ridiculously high, and he is very capable of treating him.
The taste of myth!
But Yuna was much better. After she started her own army, she followed Zhou Yunfei every step of the way and slept in Zhou Yunfei's tent at night. However, Diao Chan didn't allow her to use Zhou Yunfei's bed. At first, Yuna wanted to force herself.
Last week, Yunfei's bed was euphemistically called helping to warm the bed. Unexpectedly, Diao Chan could also do martial arts, so he almost threw Yuna out of the tent, but was stunned to make Yuna docile. Zhou Yunfei stared at Diao Chan in stunned silence.
Thinking that the delicate Diao Chan is so awesome, the ancients deceived me! Zhou Yunfei was thinking about when to learn martial arts from Zhao Yun and the others, otherwise he might not be able to do well in the future!
Five days after the army set off, Seth City reopened its gates, and the spies hidden in the city couldn't wait to report to their masters. For a time, the official road was filled with galloping horses. The road leading to Mok City
, two teams of white horse shooters led by Zhao Yun intercepted the spies heading to Mok City, detained them for a few days, and then let them go.
During the march of the army, many passing caravans looked at the army in front of them in surprise. Since they did not know which army this was, everyone made guesses. Some said it was the Royal Knights of the Empire, and some said it belonged to the St. Clair family.
Soldiers, some said that this was a multinational joint force that had just finished fighting the foreign tribes in the north. For a time, various rumors spread in all directions.
Regarding the several small towns between Seth City and Mok City, Zhou Yunfei asked Xu Sheng to send a cavalry to follow Yuna's people to negotiate. Those small city owners were originally the kind that their uncle did not love and grandma did not love.
So when Yuna said that she would die if she didn't surrender, they wisely chose to surrender. After leaving behind the leather-armored soldiers who followed the grain and grass, these small towns were controlled by Zhou Yunfei, which greatly reduced the logistical pressure.
When the army marched to the foot of Mok City, the exploration horses from Seth City also arrived at the same time.
At this time, 80% of the members of the Presbyterian Church gathered in Mok City, and its main members were concentrated here.
In a dimly lit room, six old men, four middle-aged men, and three young men were having a meeting. These people were 13 of the 16 elders of the Clare family, plus those who were captured in Seth City
Almost all the members of Locke are here.
The Presbyterian Council's previous attitude towards Dragon City was divided into two groups. Among them, the members of the older generation undoubtedly wanted to win over and make them a support force to fight against the rule of the immediate family. However, for the radical young people,
They looked down on this upstart and advocated conquest and annexation by force. The older generation, because they had been oppressed by the Zhili clan, formed a subconscious reaction and were afraid of suppression by the Zhili clan. In comparison, the younger generation was much more rational. By comparing the strengths of the two sides, they felt
At this time, there was absolutely no need to be afraid of the Zhili clan, so they imprisoned the current patriarch without authorization and at the same time hunted down Yuna. This move made the older generation quite disgusted. They did not advocate direct force to solve the problem and wanted to use righteousness to force the Zhili clan to give up their leadership.
position, so the two sides had a dispute. In the end, the two sides compromised, with the younger generation accepting to win over Longcheng, while the older generation supported seizing the throne by force.
When the Presbyterian Council learned that a large number of slaves purchased by Longcheng were going to pass through Mok City, they tested Longcheng on the grounds that they needed food and fodder. The news from Longcheng made them relieved, and they immediately sent member Locke to take over.
The city lord of Sicheng further expressed their intention to win over, and they also personally sat in Mok City to wait for the envoys from Longcheng. They thought that as the largest family in the north, it was an honor for Longcheng to be able to visit Longcheng. After the family stabilized
, a small dragon city can be annexed easily, and the coveted wealth is exciting to think about. Unfortunately, they are doomed to be dreaming. When the guards reported that the spies came back, the people who arrived together were also
There is an army from Dragon City!
The expressions on these people's faces were so wonderful! One moment they were thinking about the rich wealth, and the next moment the army arrived at the city. Those with a weak heart would probably die on the spot!
"This is a provocation! This is a provocation to the great St. Clair family! We will never allow it!" A young member shouted excitedly, and several equally young members agreed, and even wanted to turn around and go out to lead the defenders.
Teach these upstarts a lesson.
"Wait! You guys are still so impatient! The matter is not clear yet and you are thinking of using force to solve it! Don't you have any brains? Stupid!" A white-haired old man said fiercely while leaning on a cane, disappointed with these juniors.
Extremely.
"Everyone sit down! Someone, call the spies over! Also, notify General Aris and tell him to get ready and gather the soldiers." The dignified old man who was always sitting on the chair said lightly, and everyone looked at each other.
Then everyone sat back in their seats.
After a while, the spy from Seth was called into the room, "Tell me everything you know without omitting anything! Otherwise, you and your family will all die!" The young member immediately shouted harshly.
said.
The spy swallowed his saliva, but Nuonuo remained silent.
"Don't worry, as long as you tell me exactly what you saw, everything will be fine." The leader of the elders glared at the young man who just spoke, and then said to the spy calmly.
Sure enough, the spy's mood stabilized, and he told everything about what happened in Sais City, and also told about how he was detained on the road.
When the spies finished speaking, everyone fell into silence, and a few young men stopped talking. Judging from what the spies said, it was known to others from the first time they tested it, and then it led them step by step to where they are now.
.
"It seems that Dragon City is not easy! Being able to trick us into traps is not something that little girl Yuna can think of." The leader of the elders sighed. The current passive situation makes our side very disadvantageous. Although Mok
There are 30,000 troops in the city, but they are one of the few elite and mobile troops of our own. They were originally used to deal with the backbone of the Zhili clique, but now they have to fight the troops from Longcheng. I am afraid that the other side just wants to eat us.
Come on, what a ruthless plan, what a clever strategy, you have completely seen through our thoughts!
In fact, they thought well. Ever since they started testing Dragon City, Zhuge Liang knew their thoughts through Jia Xu's intelligence. And when Zhou Yunfei decided to support Yuna, Zhuge Liang began to calculate this army that the Presbyterian Council relied on, through
Taking the lead in occupying Seth City and blocking the news until the army went straight to Mok City, in just a few days, most of the strength of the Presbyterian Church was gathered in Mok City. Finally, informing the Presbyterian Church through spies in Seth City was to attack the enemy to the maximum extent.
morale.
Zhou Yunfei had to admire Zhuge Liang, because before Zhou Yunfei decided which side to support, Zhuge Liang made preparations because he guessed that even if the two parties cooperated, the other party would fall out in the future, and sooner or later there would be a battle! So the initial agreement with Yuna was
At that time, Zhuge Liang and Jia Xu revealed the news of the alliance between Longcheng and Yuna, which made the Council of Elders pay attention to Longcheng and thus win over themselves. Even if there were no slave incidents, there would be caravan incidents, assassin incidents, etc. In this regard
Zhuge Liang had already made plans, and Jia Xu had long regarded the Presbyterian Church as a target that must be eliminated.
It can be said that even if Yuna was not secretly in Seth City, the outcome of the Presbyterian Council was doomed. Zhuge Liang had already made up his mind that even if Zhou Yunfei chose to support the Presbyterian Council, he would severely deceive them before the other party seizes power in the future.
When Zhou Yunfei learned about it later, he thought speechlessly, who told you that your life is bad, but you are trying to compete with these non-human beings? I really don't know how to write the word "death"! Sure enough, passers-by are passers-by, and the lunch boxes are distributed so quickly. Even the author is shocked.
