On the morning of the third day, Nangong Aotian set off with an army of 230,000.
The road ahead is really quite far, a full 150 kilometers. According to Nangong Aotian's marching speed, they would march 70 kilometers a day, then rest, and then march another 70 kilometers the next day.
At five o'clock in the afternoon one day later, Nangong Aotian and the others arrived at two small towns only ten kilometers away from Shenglong City. The two small towns were about the same size. One was called Wancheng and the other was called Cook City. When Nangong Aotian and the others arrived,
When they visited these two cities, all the people in the city were gone. It was obvious that the enemy had no intention of wasting time here and only wanted to concentrate their forces to defend the Holy Dragon City. They believed that the Chinese Empire's army would never let them go at this time.
They wanted to give up Holy Dragon City, but they were afraid that once they gave up Holy Dragon City, the Chinese army would attack their respective principalities, so they had to resist here.
Wancheng and Cook City are far across from Shenglong City. Originally, this was a small supply city. At this time, Nangong Aotian's 230,000-strong army arrived and filled these two small cities. However, Wancheng
The city was relatively larger, so Nangong Aotian and the others transferred 150,000 troops to Wancheng to rest and recuperate. Of course, Nangong Aotian and other military officers were also in Wancheng, but fortunately there was only a small distance between Wancheng and Cook City.
The distance is six to seven kilometers, and it is very convenient to travel between the two sides.
After the army settled down, Nangong Aotian first went to see the terrain around Shenglong City. Shenglong City is indeed not small, and is larger than Luoyin City. However, Luoyin City is a city with residents, but Shenglong City is not.
It is a purely military city. Originally, this city was a sea-fixing needle on the frontier.
Shenglong City is built in an open area. Ten kilometers away to the left and right are towering peaks. But in front are cliffs. In other words, there are only ten kilometers of passages to the left and right of Shenglong City. And these ten kilometers are not very long.
It's not a flat road, but a mountain road.
Nangong Aotian looked at the surrounding terrain, then looked at the position in front of Shenglong City, and already had some calculations in his mind.
Soon he returned to Wancheng and sat in the meeting hall. Nangong Aotian was holding a map and looking at it. It was already ten o'clock in the evening. The soldiers all went to rest.
"Did you...did you gain anything from going out today?" Dongfang Phoenix walked in again at this time.
"Yes." Nangong Aotian smiled and pointed to a chair next to him and said, "Come and sit here. I just want to ask you something."
"I...I'm not going to sit there." Dongfang Phoenix's face turned red, and he sat down on a chair not far from Nangong Aotian, teasing the little panda.
"Why don't you sit here?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I won't eat you."
"You...you are talking like this and I will ignore you." Dongfang Phoenix couldn't bear Nangong Aotian's fiery eyes, so he lowered his head and whispered.
"I plan to use the roads of the principalities with which we have a good relationship to sneak attack on the principalities with which we have a bad relationship. Do you think this is feasible?" Nangong Aotian stopped joking.
"Of course." Dongfang Phoenix said immediately, "Didn't you already ask someone to negotiate?"
"Yeah, but I'm still thinking about this possibility." Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "As long as the principality is willing to lend us the road, we will soon be able to occupy several small principalities around it. The speed will definitely be very fast.
.”
"Why?" Dongfang Phoenix asked doubtfully.
"Because their principalities don't have much power to resist us now, especially the three small principalities that sent troops. Haha." Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"But it will take a long time for us to conquer the Holy Dragon City in front of us." Dongfang Phoenix frowned and said, "That city is very difficult to conquer. I think they have made preparations for defense. Even food and grass must be prepared.
It’s very sufficient.”
"Haha, let's make a bet, shall we?" Looking at the charming Dongfang Phoenix, Nangong Aotian couldn't control himself. The night was dark and windy, and a man and a woman were alone in the same room. But Nangong Aotian originally had little self-control.
Not very strong.
It felt like there was a flame burning in Nangong Aotian's eyes. Dongfang Phoenix's heart beat faster and faster, more and more violently, "You...you are not allowed to look at me like this again, I...I'm a little nervous
.”
"Why are you nervous?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "Do you feel nervous when you are with me?"
"Yes." Dongfang Phoenix responded in a low voice.
"Silly girl, although you are extremely smart, you are as simple as a blank sheet of paper when it comes to relationships." Nangong Aotian thought a little funny in his heart. He suddenly came up with a plan and said, "Little Phoenix, I will fight with you."
How about a bet?"
"What bet are you making?" Dongfang Phoenix whispered, his head lowered.
"Within six months, I took down all nine hostile principalities. Do you believe it?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"You're bragging." Dongfang Phoenix raised his head and said in disbelief.
"You really don't believe it?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile, "I do have a good idea."
"Even the Holy Dragon City in front of you cannot be defeated in a short period of time." Dongfang Phoenix said unconvincedly, pouting his bright red mouth.
"What if I do it?" Nangong Aotian looked at Dongfang Phoenix and said with a smile.
"Whatever you say?" Dongfang Phoenix blurted out.
"Haha, this is what you said." Nangong Aotian's eyes shone as he looked at Dongfang Phoenix. "My request is very simple. As long as you call me brother, and then let me hold your hand."
"You...you..." Dongfang Phoenix's pretty face suddenly turned red, "I won't ignore you anymore."
"Haha, why, don't you dare to make a bet?" Nangong Aotian said with a smile.
"I don't believe it. Just bet." Dongfang Phoenix said angrily.
"Okay. Just three months, haha." Nangong Aotian looked at Dongfang Phoenix with a smile, "You can't go back on your word then."
"I knew you were the most lustful." Dongfang Phoenix suddenly raised his head and looked at Nangong Aotian angrily and said, "When he sees a girl, his eyes will straighten."
"Hey, if you call me brother, I will never look at other girls like that again when I see them. Do you believe it or not?" Nangong Aotian still looked at Dongfang Phoenix without any scruples.
"You... if you look at other girls like this, others will think that you... have bad conduct." Dongfang Phoenix lowered his head again and said, "That... will be bad for your reputation."
"Hehe. I don't care what others say at all." Nangong Aotian said completely indifferently.
"But I..." Dongfang Phoenix paused mid-sentence.
"Okay, it's getting late. I still have to think about what to do next. Either you stay with me, or you go and have a rest." After Nangong Aotian finished speaking, he continued to look at his hands.
map.
Seeing Nangong Aotian looking at the map in his hand again, Dongfang Phoenix once again thought of the bet Nangong Aotian said. For some reason, he suddenly felt very panicked in his heart, as if he was going to be lost. He had never looked at himself.
She was so aloof that she had never had any special feelings for any boy before. In the academy, his two brothers always protected her. And the academy in Phoenix City originally belonged to his Dongfang family. All this
The combination of factors made her, who was originally very smart, completely ignorant of emotions. Even if some boys pursued her sometimes, she would completely ignore them.
"Is this big pervert really sure that he can defeat all these little principalities within six months?" Dongfang Phoenix felt confused at this time. "If he really does it, should I let him hold my hand?"
I heard from my sister that letting a strange boy hold her hand means that she has accepted that boy's pursuit. Could it be that he is pursuing me. So he likes me? What should I do? "
"Hey!!! It depends on whether the people sent out to negotiate with those principalities can succeed." Nangong Aotian thought silently in his heart, "If the negotiations succeed, I will definitely be able to put these nine things together within six months."
Eat all the principalities."
It felt like it was getting late. Nangong Aotian stretched his waist, but saw that Dongfang Phoenix had fallen asleep on the chair again.
"Why is this girl so naive in this regard?" Nangong Aotian couldn't help but feel a little funny, but also a little moved.
During this time, Nangong Aotian would often think about some issues alone at night. But Dongfang Phoenix would always sit quietly not far from him. Sometimes the two of them would also discuss some issues, and every day
When Nangong Aotian enters a state of thinking, this girl will take a nap silently.
"This little girl is so lovable." Nangong Aotian felt a surge of tenderness in his heart. He slowly walked to Dongfang Phoenix and whispered in her ear, "Phoenix, get up. It's late.
Alright, let’s go back to sleep.”
"Oh." Dongfang Phoenix woke up in a daze, "Are you... going to rest?"
"Yes. Let's go." Although Nangong Aotian wanted to hug the lazy and charming girl in front of him at this time, he was afraid of frightening her, and finally restrained himself from doing so. He looked at Dongfang Phoenix's charming look.
After a pause, he finally turned around and walked out of the meeting hall.
Originally, when Dongfang Phoenix woke up, she saw Nangong Aotian staring at her blankly. The fiery eyes revealed a look of choosing others to devour. But she didn't know why she saw Nangong Aotian full of aggression.
The look in Xing's eyes made her feel extremely flustered, but she also felt that she was completely powerless, but she couldn't get even the slightest bit angry.
Nangong Aotian had already left the meeting hall. Dongfang Phoenix finally recovered from the panic, "How could I be like this? What is the reason for this?"
