Bian Ting smiled and said: Since Wen Shizhong dared to attack the Huaxi Sword Sect, he must have come out in full swing, so this Wen Mansion is actually an empty shell. Both guarding and not guarding are the same, so why bother Brother Eagle?
Nangong Jianxue also said: General Bian said it was extremely difficult to maintain an empty shell.
Eagle Blade frowned and said with a sigh: Don’t I know that the Wen family is already an empty shell at this time? I insist on protecting the Wen family so much, so naturally there is my reason.
Bian Ding smiled and said: I wish to hear it details
Eagle Knife said heavily: Let me tell you a little story first, and you will understand it after you hear it. Everyone knows that I have been an orphan since I was a child. Before my righteous brother took it in, I have been wandering on the streets and lived in Nanchang Mansion by begging. There are many helpless orphans like me. I am just an ordinary person. I was thirteen years old. As usual, I came to the most prosperous street in Nanchang early to beg along the street. I walked along the way and asked for a few cold steamed buns. I was very satisfied. I knew that if I saved some food and food, I would not have to be hungry for the next two days...
Bian Ting was also a miserable child, and he didn't feel strange after hearing this passage. However, Nangong Jianxue was born into a wealthy family. When he heard the Eagle Knife telling the miserable past in such a plain tone, he was moved. Before he knew it, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
Eagle knife continued: Maybe I was overjoyed. I accidentally hit someone and I quickly apologized, but the other party was a boring street gangster. People like this would bully us wild children for fun if they had nothing to do. Now that there is a reason, how could they let me go easily? The gangster immediately slapped me twice, snatched the steamed buns I had finally asked for and threw them on the ground. Of course, I was unwilling to give up, so I squatted down and picked them up...
Nangong Jianxue couldn't help but shout: Can you still eat the steamed bun if it is stained with sand?
Eagle knife glanced at her and said: Although the steamed bun was stained with sand, it was still edible to peel off the skin. But the gangster kicked me down again and slashed the steamed buns on the ground one by one. Now I really couldn't eat it now. If it were the same, I might have swallowed my anger and walked away. After all, the steamed buns could no longer be eaten. The other party was a tall and big adult. I was young and weak, but I was not his opponent? But somehow, I didn't leave that day, and I was a bit of evil spirits. I secretly became fierce. Even the steamed buns were broken! So I continued to squat down, picked them up in small pieces, and held them in the palm of my hand...
Bian Ting sighed, knowing that the eagle sword at that time had been aroused to resist.
Eagle knife continued: Seeing me like this, the gangster was surprised and angry, and kicked me down with both feet. The broken steamed buns I had finally picked up in my hand were sprinkled all over the floor. I ignored him and stood up again to pick up the broken steamed buns. Just like that, I just picked up the broken steamed buns, the gangster kicked me over, and I continued to pick them up... I don't know how many times I went back and forth, and I had already been kicked all over by him. The blood on my head and face covered my eyes, but I refused to admit defeat. I was determined to pick up the steamed buns. I also knew that even if I picked them up, I couldn't eat them. However, I thought in my heart that I would die today and I would pick up the steamed buns.
The gangster bullied me like this in the street, which had already attracted everyone's attention. At first, everyone was afraid of things and did not dare to speak. Later, I couldn't help it and accused the gangster of the gangster. Finally, when I picked up the broken buns for the last time, the gangster stopped kicking it. Instead, he said to me in an admirable tone: 'Little brother, I didn't stop beating you because so many people scolded me, but because you are a good person, you have a kind! I'll obey you. From now on, what trouble do you have here? Even if you come to me...' Hearing him say this, I know that I finally won this time. Although I broke two ribs for this, my head was broken, and my blood was flowing, I know that from now on, the gangsters on this street will never bully me for anything else, because I dared to fight to the death, I maintained my dignity and won their respect
There is a silence in the hall
Although Bian Ting was moved by it, Nangong Jianxue burst into tears, but she said nothing could connect the persevering iron-blooded boy in the story with the person in front of her.
The Eagle Knife I remember has always been a hippie and smiling stinky monkey. Although he knew that his experience in his youth was quite bumpy, he never thought it would be so miserable.
After a long time, Eagle Sword Fang said: Now you should understand why I tried my best to defend the Wen family?
Bian Ding nodded and said: I understand that the Wen family is like that broken steamed bun now.
Yingdao said: It is! Faced with a powerful enemy like the Huaxi Sword Sect, we must have a belief that we will fight for inch of land and never surrender. This is the headquarters of the Wen family in Xiangyang, and it is a symbol of the Wen family. Once it falls, it will definitely hit our morale with a heavy blow. What is important is that other clans do not know that this is an empty city. If this place is easily destroyed by the Huaxi Sword Sect, what will they think? They will definitely estimate the strength of the Gaohuaxi Sword Sect indefinitely, and therefore become afraid. Therefore, we defend the Wen family, to tell the Huaxi Sword Sect that we are not easy to mess with, and to tell the Jiangbei sect that the Huaxi Sword Sect is far less powerful than they imagined...
Bian Ting stood up and said: You are right! Although the Wen family is an empty shell, it has extraordinary strategic significance. We cannot give up on it!
Nangong Jianxue frowned slightly and said: Having said that, the current situation of the Wen family is really bad. I have only more than 200 people in Xiangyang, and at most 150 people can be transferred to help defend the Huaxi Sword Sect. This time, the revenge will inevitably be fierce. If you want to rely on such a few people to defend... it will be too difficult!
Yingdao smiled and said: No, you are wrong. The enemy we are facing is not the Huaxi Sword Sect, but after Meng Caiyi Wen Shizhong in Xiangyang raided the Huaxi Sword Sect, he will definitely speed up to protect the Xiangyang headquarters. Calculate in time, he will probably be able to return to Xiangyang in the early morning tomorrow. Even if something unexpected happens, it will be delayed until tomorrow noon. In this short period of time, it is impossible for the Huaxi Sword Sect to arrive from the far west of Zhejiang to Xiangyang. So what we have to deal with is Meng Caiyi. According to my inference, since the battle of Shenyuan, Meng Caiyi has only one or two hundred people. In terms of strength, it is not better than us. The only thing we have to consider is how to use the limited troops in our hands to defend this courtyard...
Nangong Jianxue said: That's it! Everyone knows the difference between guarding a yard and guarding a city. In normal siege battles, the comparison of the forces between the defending and the siege battles only needs one to three, but guarding a yard is afraid that the comparison of the forces between the siege battles will be replaced. At least three to one. The key is that the Wen family courtyard has no danger at all. If you click to break, the entire line will collapse...
Bian Ding smiled and said: It is not that the battle between the two sides pays attention to the right time, place, people, and harmony. The right place alone is beneficial to us. The defense scope we consider should not be limited to the Wen family's courtyard, but should be extended outward and make multi-level and three-dimensional defense deployment.
First of all, the Wen family mansion almost occupied the entire Changlin Lane. Its front door entrance is in the middle of Changlin Lane. The rear of the mansion is adjacent to the houses of some nobles in the city. Judging from the current relationship between the Huaxi Sword Sect and the government, Meng Caiyi will definitely not implicate innocent people in order to attack us, so as not to prevent the government from recovering the aftermath. Therefore, our first defense network is to send heavy troops to guard both ends of Changlin Lane. As long as the two ends of Changlin Lane are guarded, the Wen family mansion will be fine.
If you can't defend it, you must try to keep the focus of the battle in the nearly three-mile-long alley in Changlin Lane. Therefore, the second defense network is to send archers to sniper and shoot enemies in the alley with the geographical advantage of the high walls. In addition to these two layers of defense measures, we can also do something that Meng Caiyi could not imagine. This is the key to this defensive battle... As he said that, he deliberately kept it a secret, proudly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.
Listening to his careful deployment, Eagle Sword and Nangong Jianxue felt that each move was unexpected and effective. He couldn't help but feel a lot of confidence. Unexpectedly, he had more powerful people. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't help but urged him to say it quickly.
Bian Ting laughed and said: A negative defense can only give up the initiative to others. For the wise, if we really want to spend this night safely, we must take the initiative to attack...
Eagle knife moved in his heart and said happily: What you mean is that we should take the initiative to attack Meng Caiyi, which made her unable to take care of herself and she was unable to do anything in her clone? It was indeed a clever plan!
Bian Ting shook his head and said: No! With our current forces, it is already a barely enough to use it for defense. Split troops to attack Meng Caiyi is simply a death sentence, especially Meng Caiyi lives in the government office. If we make a big move, it is tantamount to rebel! What I mean is not to attack Meng Caiyi, but to assassinate Meng Caiyi!
Assassinating Meng Caiyi? Eagle Knife screamed in shock, and couldn't help but stay on the spot, unable to speak for a long time
Do you really have to kill her?
For a moment, all kinds of tastes came to my heart, and I felt reluctant to leave
Bian Ting said next, he didn't even hear a word.
Meng Caiyi's planning and organizational ability is well known. She can be said to be the best leader in the enemy camp. She can bring us great threats both now and in the future! If Meng Caiyi, an outstanding commander, participated in the attack, the pressure on our defense will be greatly reduced and killing Meng Caiyi is tantamount to cutting off one of the arm of the Huaxi Sword Sect. This will be more beneficial to our future fight against the Huaxi Sword Sect...
Caiyi, Caiyi, although we know that we will eventually have a war, it came too quickly
Perhaps, this is an irresistible fate!
OK! Just do it, let's assassinate Meng Caiyi! Eagle Knife shouted loudly
His face was as usual, and his body sitting on the chair was as straight as a gun, but no one noticed that just as he decided to take action, a hint of confusion and bitterness appeared in his eyes.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is almost three o'clock
Xiangyang Prefecture
Ying Dao and Bian Ting sneaked into the backyard of the government office
After discussion, Nangong Jianxue commanded the civil warriors of his clan to defend the Wen Mansion, and the plan to assassinate Meng Caiyi was implemented by Ying Dao and Bian Ting.
Although there are many officers and soldiers on patrol at night, both of them are the best masters in the world. They sneaked over high and low all the way, but they did not attract anyone's attention.
When passing by a rockery, Eagle Knife pulled Bian Ting and hid in, whispering: This government office is too big, I don’t know where Meng Caiyi is staying, we are looking for it all the way. After all, it’s not a solution.
Bian Ding nodded and said: What you are saying is, but are there any other ways?
Eagle Dagger smiled and said: There is either no way, it is just a little stupid. We will find a way to catch a few officers and soldiers to ask. Wouldn't you know where Meng Caiyi lives?
Bian Ting was stunned for a moment and laughed: It was indeed a stupid method, and it was not feasible. The officers and soldiers who patroled the night were strictly disciplined. Each patrol route and the number of patrol teams were specially arranged. When the two patrol teams intersected, they had to count each other's number and shout a command. This command will be different every day. In order to prevent the enemy from pretending and infiltrating in, I dare to guarantee that as long as we catch people, they can immediately infer from the number of patrol people that someone has been infiltrated from the number of patrol people... Meng Caiyi's wisdom and martial arts are the best choice. To kill her, the only feasible way is to take full advantage of her when she is unprepared. If someone blocks the upper hand, or if she notices it in advance, she will escape until then. It will be difficult to kill her again.
Eagle Sword smiled embarrassedly: In this way, this method won't work
Bian Ting smiled and shook his head: Of course it won't work, let alone what a secret matter of cooperation between Huaxi Sword Sect and the government. The few small officers and soldiers were afraid that even the sacred place of Meng Caiyi was, let alone her place of residence.
Eagle knife grabbed her scalp and said: What should we do? We can't even find her nest, and it's all that's right? Could it be that she will come to her door by herself? He paused and tentatively said: Otherwise, we should stop assassinating her, and just make a big fuss in this government office. As long as we attract the attention of Meng Caiyi and others here, there will be no pressure on the Wen family, so that our goal can be achieved.
For him, he really doesn't want to fight Meng Caiyi face to face with life and death directly
Meng Caiyi is like a thorn stuck in our throat. If we don’t remove it for a day, we can’t sleep or eat. Don’t forget that fighting against the Huaxi Sword Sect is not a matter of one day or one night. The disaster faced by the Wen family this time is just a prelude. The real difficulty is still behind. We killed Meng Caiyi, which not only helps the Wen family overcome this difficulty, but more importantly, it eliminates an important piece in the enemy camp, disrupts the enemy’s deployment, and gives us a chance to breathe. Bian Tingzhi said that the Eagle Sword does not understand the benefits and explanations with patience.
Eagle Sword smiled bitterly and said: Do you have to kill her tonight?
Killing! Bian Ting cuts the iron lane
After pondering for a while, suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in his mind and he smiled and said: You said it right just now Since we can't find her, let her come to the door by herself...
Let her come to the door?
Eagle sword looked at Bian Ting, but saw a cunning and complacent light flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.
I am really full and I have nothing to do. Why do I have that lip service?
At the same time, Xiangyang Prefecture Office and Yiran Pavilion
Yiran Pavilion is located deep in the backyard, built close to the back wall of the government office. It is a two-story, unique and elegant building.
The reason why Meng Caiyi chose this place as her living place is not only quiet and elegant, but also the most important thing is that she is convenient to enter and exit - as long as she needs it, she can go from the second floor of Yiran Pavilion without knowing it at any time and cross the wall and leave the mansion without knowing it.
Beyond the wall is an artificial river channel that runs from north to south across Xiangyang City. On both sides of the river, there is a bluestone avenue about three meters wide for people to walk on. Next to the river bank, all kinds of weeping willows are planted.
Looking out from the window on the second floor of Yiran Pavilion, you can see a stone arch bridge across the river, connecting the east and west banks.
This bridge is the famous Zhong'an Bridge in Xiangyang City
On the second floor of Yiran Pavilion, Meng Caiyi stood at the window, her eyes passed through the night and looked ahead
Outside the window, a faint moonlight shines on the river surface, sparkling with shimmering lights
Behind her, Gu Shanzheng reported in a very reserved tone
According to reliable information, the secret teams that have been hidden in the Wen family during this attack on our public security were the secret teams that the Wen family had been hiding due to insufficient preparations. The specific number of casualties has not been counted yet. However, it is conservatively estimated that the total number of casualties in the halls of the two places is at least about 600, which is the largest except for the battle in Dongting Lake...
Six hundred? No matter how deep Meng Caiyi's scheming was, she couldn't help but scream and turned around, her face extremely ugly
Gu Shan nodded and said: The Wen family first used vacant soldiers to harass Gong'an City and lure Yiling to rescue him, but set up a trap in the "sheep intestine tract" 15 miles away from Yiling. As a result, we stepped in for a while. More than 600 people sent to reinforce the public security were almost wiped out, and only 73 people survived, plus the loss of the Gong'an City... The total number of casualties was about 600.
Meng Caiyi asked in a deep voice: What are the casualties of the Wen family?
Gu Shan looked at the information in his hand and replied: On this side of Gong'an City, about twenty people died in the Wen family, and on this side of Yiling... Since the other party had cleared the battlefield before retreating, it was impossible to count the exact number of casualties of the other party. According to the survivors of the "Yang Yan Dao" battle, about four or five hundred people died...
Meng Caiyi sneered: I'm afraid this number is wrong! They are fighting an ambush battle. If so many people are killed, it would be unreasonable in any case. The Wen family is responsible for commanding this battle. It is very likely that Yang Si, the master of military strategy, used Yang Si's military use, and they could be killed or injured at most.
Gu Shan smiled and said: This number is watery, everyone knows that there is no evidence of death anyway, so they have to say nonsense.
Meng Caiyi sighed and said: If you can't count the number of casualties on the other party, you can't correctly estimate the Wen family's existing strength. This will be very unfavorable to your future actions. Gu Shan. I hope you can urge the headquarters to do this work and give me some exact information as soon as possible. She paused and asked again: What does the old man say about this matter?
The old man she said refers to Jing Yueqing
In the past, in order to justify the Tianmo Palace, Jing Yuqing pretended to die to lure Yingdao and others into a trap, and was willing to retreat behind the scenes. Therefore, he was called the old man in the Blood Sword Alliance headed by the Huaxi Sword Sect.
Gu Shan smiled slightly and said: The old man asked me to tell the girl eight words, "God gave you a good opportunity, please do it yourself."
Meng Caiyi agreed for a while and sighed: So, the old man means that the war is going to start in full swing?
Gu Shan thought for a while and said cautiously: The old man is very smart, how dare the young man speculate randomly? But it is said that Xiao Huaxi has begun to gather people, the eldest young master... Oh, it is the head. He just sent a letter to Fei Ge to say that we should attack the Wen family's mansion while the Wen family has not yet returned to help and give the enemy a blow.
Meng Caiyi sneered: Is this a command? Since Wen Shizhong dared to attack Gong'an and Yiling, he must have been out of nothing. I am afraid that the Wen family mansion has already been an empty house. He has made great efforts to make an empty shell with a reputation, and exposed my last armed force hidden in Xiangyang City in vain. Is this business worthwhile? Alas... Forget it, since Jing Liuyun likes to do this, let him do it, at least it will be good to hit the morale of the enemy.
Gu Shan lowered his head, not daring to look at Meng Caiyi's face
Meng Caiyi's words accidentally leaked some clues of power struggles within the Huaxi Sword Sect. On such sensitive issues, he naturally would not make any random statements to avoid causing trouble.
This is a survival philosophy of a small person. When a senior official complains about another senior official privately, you must not agree or object. It is best to pretend that you didn't hear it, because these are not your business at all. If you intervene, you will be the one who will be in the end.
However, Gu Shan is very glad that he could hear Meng Caiyi's complaints
All along, Meng Caiyi has always shown her beautiful appearance and a strong heart as hard as a hard shell. You rarely judge her true thoughts from her behavior.
It is difficult for any subordinate to understand the psychology of his superiors.
Not being able to cater to the preferences of superiors means not being able to achieve the best in the minds of superiors
In this way, in the mind of your superiors, you will never be a talent worthy of reusing.
Meng Caiyi can complain in front of her, first of all, that Meng Caiyi is not a god, and she is also psychologically fragile. Secondly, it also shows that in Meng Caiyi's heart, she can at least be regarded as one of her confidants.
If he had to choose between Jing Liuyun and Meng Caiyi in the future, he knew that he would definitely choose the latter
Although he once made an oath of being loyal to the gang when he joined the Huaxi Sword Sect, as the saying goes, he is like the flow of good deeds. This world is about strength. Meng Caiyi's personal strength and charm are far higher than Jing Liuyun's.
Jing Liuyun's biggest capital is that he has a good father
Unfortunately, that good father will eventually get old one day and it will never protect him forever
So in the long run, choosing Mengcaiyi is the right choice
Oath? What is it? It's as ridiculous as a fart
In fact, Gu Shan did not fully understand the true meaning hidden behind Meng Caiyi's complaints
Rather than saying that Meng Caiyi was dissatisfied with Jing Liuyun's command of his actions, it was better to say that Meng Caiyi was more concerned about the action itself.
As soon as the attack on the Wen family's mansion was launched, she and the Eagle Knife would completely embark on the road of frontal hostility. Either you die or I die!
This is what she tried hard to avoid
But no matter how hard she tried, the changes in the entire situation forced her to go on this path, which made her feel very sad
She's also a woman
There are many women who live for love all their lives. Although she is not that kind of woman, she is also a woman after all...
This is the real reason why Meng Caiyi's emotional out of control is temporarily lies
Meng Caiyi was stunned for a while and sighed lightly, saying: Just do what Jing Liuyun said! Long Zexiuxing will be responsible for this attack. I will not participate. You will tell him. Try not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and do not implicate the residents near the Wen family. If they are hurt, it will be difficult for the government to explain to you...
Gu Shan agreed to go
Meng Caiyi turned her head to look at the oil lamp on the table, and saw the flames rising and falling, twisting her lonely figure into an ugly image and projecting it on the ground. Suddenly, she hated herself very much.
Maybe it's time to drink some wine
She opened a jar of wine sadly, without using a cup, just raised it up and tilted her head to drink
The crystal clear liquid flowed through her throat and turned into a ball of flames that burned and scorched her internal organs and scorched her soul.
After a while, the wine in the wine jar had dried up
It turns out that I can drink so much. Looking at the empty wine jar, Meng Caiyi sneered.
She pushed open the wine jar, staggered out of the door, came to another door, pushed the door open and went in
The room is very dark and there is no light
A black figure sat in the darkness, silent, like a lifeless statue
Just now, I made a decision. Meng Caiyi walked up and hugged the man, and said in a hoarse voice: I think you should know too
The man still didn't respond, as if everything was Meng Caiyi talking to himself
Someone seems to have said that if you share happy things with others, the happier you will be; if you share painful things with others, the less painful your pain will be. So, I decided to share them with you because I am afraid that I can't bear it alone.
The man still didn't respond
I just made the decision to attack the Wen family mansion tomorrow... No, maybe there is no need to wait until tomorrow, the Eagle Knife will come to take the head on my neck! Hi, I really want to see how sad he looked when he raised the knife and slashed at me... or was he happy... Meng Caiyi said with a giggle, but tears came out in her eyes unknowingly.
The man's body suddenly shook and slowly turned around. His face was as pale as paper. It turned out to be Iori
Since breaking up with Eagle Knife, she has been sitting here alone without eating or drinking.
Iori... Why don't you talk? Do you feel very painful? Do you feel very sad? Because the person you fell in love with was our enemy... Meng Caiyi had already seen pain and sadness in Iori's eyes, but she felt it was not enough. She hoped Iori would be more painful, so that her pain might be alleviated.
It turns out that my senior sister fell in love with the person she shouldn't have fallen in love with, because I am amnesia... But why are you? Iori spoke
Not only was there pain in her eyes, but she also had compassion for Meng Caiyi.
What am I doing for?
Meng Caiyi asked herself in a low voice, and every scene of her time with the Eagle Sword suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. She couldn't help but feel confused and couldn't help but smile and shed tears, completely lost in the memories of the past.
Thinking of the wounded part, the meridians in the body suddenly became disordered, and I felt a sweet throat and a sweet and fishy blood sprayed out of my mouth.
Iori cried and hugged Meng Caiyi tightly and said: Senior sister, Senior sister... Let's go back to Fusang together! I never want to stay here again. It's so crazy here. I can't stand it, I really can't stand it...
Meng Caiyi smiled slightly: Iori, can you guarantee that you will forget the Eagle Knife and everything that happened here when you return to Fusang?
Forgot him? Forgot everything? How could this be done...
Iori felt ache in his heart and couldn't speak
Since we can't forget him, we will go the same wherever we go. Meng Caiyi murmured, looking at the sky with a daze: Because, this is fate, we have nowhere to escape...
When this sentence was finished, Meng Caiyi returned to normal, calm and calm
Nangong Jianxue also said: General Bian said it was extremely difficult to maintain an empty shell.
Eagle Blade frowned and said with a sigh: Don’t I know that the Wen family is already an empty shell at this time? I insist on protecting the Wen family so much, so naturally there is my reason.
Bian Ding smiled and said: I wish to hear it details
Eagle Knife said heavily: Let me tell you a little story first, and you will understand it after you hear it. Everyone knows that I have been an orphan since I was a child. Before my righteous brother took it in, I have been wandering on the streets and lived in Nanchang Mansion by begging. There are many helpless orphans like me. I am just an ordinary person. I was thirteen years old. As usual, I came to the most prosperous street in Nanchang early to beg along the street. I walked along the way and asked for a few cold steamed buns. I was very satisfied. I knew that if I saved some food and food, I would not have to be hungry for the next two days...
Bian Ting was also a miserable child, and he didn't feel strange after hearing this passage. However, Nangong Jianxue was born into a wealthy family. When he heard the Eagle Knife telling the miserable past in such a plain tone, he was moved. Before he knew it, a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
Eagle knife continued: Maybe I was overjoyed. I accidentally hit someone and I quickly apologized, but the other party was a boring street gangster. People like this would bully us wild children for fun if they had nothing to do. Now that there is a reason, how could they let me go easily? The gangster immediately slapped me twice, snatched the steamed buns I had finally asked for and threw them on the ground. Of course, I was unwilling to give up, so I squatted down and picked them up...
Nangong Jianxue couldn't help but shout: Can you still eat the steamed bun if it is stained with sand?
Eagle knife glanced at her and said: Although the steamed bun was stained with sand, it was still edible to peel off the skin. But the gangster kicked me down again and slashed the steamed buns on the ground one by one. Now I really couldn't eat it now. If it were the same, I might have swallowed my anger and walked away. After all, the steamed buns could no longer be eaten. The other party was a tall and big adult. I was young and weak, but I was not his opponent? But somehow, I didn't leave that day, and I was a bit of evil spirits. I secretly became fierce. Even the steamed buns were broken! So I continued to squat down, picked them up in small pieces, and held them in the palm of my hand...
Bian Ting sighed, knowing that the eagle sword at that time had been aroused to resist.
Eagle knife continued: Seeing me like this, the gangster was surprised and angry, and kicked me down with both feet. The broken steamed buns I had finally picked up in my hand were sprinkled all over the floor. I ignored him and stood up again to pick up the broken steamed buns. Just like that, I just picked up the broken steamed buns, the gangster kicked me over, and I continued to pick them up... I don't know how many times I went back and forth, and I had already been kicked all over by him. The blood on my head and face covered my eyes, but I refused to admit defeat. I was determined to pick up the steamed buns. I also knew that even if I picked them up, I couldn't eat them. However, I thought in my heart that I would die today and I would pick up the steamed buns.

Later, I couldn't help it and accused the gangster of the gangster. Finally, when I picked up the broken buns for the last time, the gangster stopped kicking it.

From now on, what trouble do you have here? Even if you come to me...' Hearing him say this, I know that I finally won this time. Although I broke two ribs for this, my head was broken, and my blood was flowing, I know that from now on, the gangsters on this street will never bully me for anything else, because I dared to fight to the death, I maintained my dignity and won their respect
There is a silence in the hall
Although Bian Ting was moved by it, Nangong Jianxue burst into tears, but she said nothing could connect the persevering iron-blooded boy in the story with the person in front of her.
The Eagle Knife I remember has always been a hippie and smiling stinky monkey. Although he knew that his experience in his youth was quite bumpy, he never thought it would be so miserable.
After a long time, Eagle Sword Fang said: Now you should understand why I tried my best to defend the Wen family?
Bian Ding nodded and said: I understand that the Wen family is like that broken steamed bun now.
Yingdao said: It is! Faced with a powerful enemy like the Huaxi Sword Sect, we must have a belief that we will fight for inch of land and never surrender. This is the headquarters of the Wen family in Xiangyang, and it is a symbol of the Wen family. Once it falls, it will definitely hit our morale with a heavy blow.

Bian Ting stood up and said: You are right! Although the Wen family is an empty shell, it has extraordinary strategic significance. We cannot give up on it!
Nangong Jianxue frowned slightly and said: Having said that, the current situation of the Wen family is really bad. I have only more than 200 people in Xiangyang, and at most 150 people can be transferred to help defend the Huaxi Sword Sect. This time, the revenge will inevitably be fierce. If you want to rely on such a few people to defend... it will be too difficult!
Yingdao smiled and said: No, you are wrong. The enemy we are facing is not the Huaxi Sword Sect, but after Meng Caiyi Wen Shizhong in Xiangyang raided the Huaxi Sword Sect, he will definitely speed up to protect the Xiangyang headquarters. Calculate in time, he will probably be able to return to Xiangyang in the early morning tomorrow. Even if something unexpected happens, it will be delayed until tomorrow noon. In this short period of time, it is impossible for the Huaxi Sword Sect to arrive from the far west of Zhejiang to Xiangyang. So what we have to deal with is Meng Caiyi. According to my inference, since the battle of Shenyuan, Meng Caiyi has only one or two hundred people. In terms of strength, it is not better than us. The only thing we have to consider is how to use the limited troops in our hands to defend this courtyard...
Nangong Jianxue said: That's it! Everyone knows the difference between guarding a yard and guarding a city. In normal siege battles, the comparison of the forces between the defending and the siege battles only needs one to three, but guarding a yard is afraid that the comparison of the forces between the siege battles will be replaced. At least three to one. The key is that the Wen family courtyard has no danger at all. If you click to break, the entire line will collapse...
Bian Ding smiled and said: It is not that the battle between the two sides pays attention to the right time, place, people, and harmony. The right place alone is beneficial to us. The defense scope we consider should not be limited to the Wen family's courtyard, but should be extended outward and make multi-level and three-dimensional defense deployment.
First of all, the Wen family mansion almost occupied the entire Changlin Lane. Its front door entrance is in the middle of Changlin Lane. The rear of the mansion is adjacent to the houses of some nobles in the city. Judging from the current relationship between the Huaxi Sword Sect and the government, Meng Caiyi will definitely not implicate innocent people in order to attack us, so as not to prevent the government from recovering the aftermath. Therefore, our first defense network is to send heavy troops to guard both ends of Changlin Lane. As long as the two ends of Changlin Lane are guarded, the Wen family mansion will be fine.
If you can't defend it, you must try to keep the focus of the battle in the nearly three-mile-long alley in Changlin Lane. Therefore, the second defense network is to send archers to sniper and shoot enemies in the alley with the geographical advantage of the high walls. In addition to these two layers of defense measures, we can also do something that Meng Caiyi could not imagine. This is the key to this defensive battle... As he said that, he deliberately kept it a secret, proudly picked up the teacup and drank a sip of tea.
Listening to his careful deployment, Eagle Sword and Nangong Jianxue felt that each move was unexpected and effective. He couldn't help but feel a lot of confidence. Unexpectedly, he had more powerful people. The two of them couldn't help but look at each other, and they couldn't help but urged him to say it quickly.
Bian Ting laughed and said: A negative defense can only give up the initiative to others. For the wise, if we really want to spend this night safely, we must take the initiative to attack...
Eagle knife moved in his heart and said happily: What you mean is that we should take the initiative to attack Meng Caiyi, which made her unable to take care of herself and she was unable to do anything in her clone? It was indeed a clever plan!
Bian Ting shook his head and said: No! With our current forces, it is already a barely enough to use it for defense. Split troops to attack Meng Caiyi is simply a death sentence, especially Meng Caiyi lives in the government office. If we make a big move, it is tantamount to rebel! What I mean is not to attack Meng Caiyi, but to assassinate Meng Caiyi!
Assassinating Meng Caiyi? Eagle Knife screamed in shock, and couldn't help but stay on the spot, unable to speak for a long time
Do you really have to kill her?
For a moment, all kinds of tastes came to my heart, and I felt reluctant to leave
Bian Ting said next, he didn't even hear a word.
Meng Caiyi's planning and organizational ability is well known. She can be said to be the best leader in the enemy camp. She can bring us great threats both now and in the future! If Meng Caiyi, an outstanding commander, participated in the attack, the pressure on our defense will be greatly reduced and killing Meng Caiyi is tantamount to cutting off one of the arm of the Huaxi Sword Sect. This will be more beneficial to our future fight against the Huaxi Sword Sect...
Caiyi, Caiyi, although we know that we will eventually have a war, it came too quickly
Perhaps, this is an irresistible fate!
OK! Just do it, let's assassinate Meng Caiyi! Eagle Knife shouted loudly
His face was as usual, and his body sitting on the chair was as straight as a gun, but no one noticed that just as he decided to take action, a hint of confusion and bitterness appeared in his eyes.
The moon is in the middle of the sky, and it is almost three o'clock
Xiangyang Prefecture
Ying Dao and Bian Ting sneaked into the backyard of the government office
After discussion, Nangong Jianxue commanded the civil warriors of his clan to defend the Wen Mansion, and the plan to assassinate Meng Caiyi was implemented by Ying Dao and Bian Ting.
Although there are many officers and soldiers on patrol at night, both of them are the best masters in the world. They sneaked over high and low all the way, but they did not attract anyone's attention.
When passing by a rockery, Eagle Knife pulled Bian Ting and hid in, whispering: This government office is too big, I don’t know where Meng Caiyi is staying, we are looking for it all the way. After all, it’s not a solution.
Bian Ding nodded and said: What you are saying is, but are there any other ways?
Eagle Dagger smiled and said: There is either no way, it is just a little stupid. We will find a way to catch a few officers and soldiers to ask. Wouldn't you know where Meng Caiyi lives?
Bian Ting was stunned for a moment and laughed: It was indeed a stupid method, and it was not feasible. The officers and soldiers who patroled the night were strictly disciplined. Each patrol route and the number of patrol teams were specially arranged. When the two patrol teams intersected, they had to count each other's number and shout a command. This command will be different every day. In order to prevent the enemy from pretending and infiltrating in, I dare to guarantee that as long as we catch people, they can immediately infer from the number of patrol people that someone has been infiltrated from the number of patrol people... Meng Caiyi's wisdom and martial arts are the best choice. To kill her, the only feasible way is to take full advantage of her when she is unprepared. If someone blocks the upper hand, or if she notices it in advance, she will escape until then. It will be difficult to kill her again.
Eagle Sword smiled embarrassedly: In this way, this method won't work
Bian Ting smiled and shook his head: Of course it won't work, let alone what a secret matter of cooperation between Huaxi Sword Sect and the government. The few small officers and soldiers were afraid that even the sacred place of Meng Caiyi was, let alone her place of residence.
Eagle knife grabbed her scalp and said: What should we do? We can't even find her nest, and it's all that's right? Could it be that she will come to her door by herself? He paused and tentatively said: Otherwise, we should stop assassinating her, and just make a big fuss in this government office. As long as we attract the attention of Meng Caiyi and others here, there will be no pressure on the Wen family, so that our goal can be achieved.
For him, he really doesn't want to fight Meng Caiyi face to face with life and death directly
Meng Caiyi is like a thorn stuck in our throat. If we don’t remove it for a day, we can’t sleep or eat. Don’t forget that fighting against the Huaxi Sword Sect is not a matter of one day or one night. The disaster faced by the Wen family this time is just a prelude. The real difficulty is still behind. We killed Meng Caiyi, which not only helps the Wen family overcome this difficulty, but more importantly, it eliminates an important piece in the enemy camp, disrupts the enemy’s deployment, and gives us a chance to breathe. Bian Tingzhi said that the Eagle Sword does not understand the benefits and explanations with patience.
Eagle Sword smiled bitterly and said: Do you have to kill her tonight?
Killing! Bian Ting cuts the iron lane
After pondering for a while, suddenly, a light of inspiration flashed in his mind and he smiled and said: You said it right just now Since we can't find her, let her come to the door by herself...
Let her come to the door?
Eagle sword looked at Bian Ting, but saw a cunning and complacent light flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel regretful.
I am really full and I have nothing to do. Why do I have that lip service?
At the same time, Xiangyang Prefecture Office and Yiran Pavilion
Yiran Pavilion is located deep in the backyard, built close to the back wall of the government office. It is a two-story, unique and elegant building.
The reason why Meng Caiyi chose this place as her living place is not only quiet and elegant, but also the most important thing is that she is convenient to enter and exit - as long as she needs it, she can go from the second floor of Yiran Pavilion without knowing it at any time and cross the wall and leave the mansion without knowing it.
Beyond the wall is an artificial river channel that runs from north to south across Xiangyang City. On both sides of the river, there is a bluestone avenue about three meters wide for people to walk on. Next to the river bank, all kinds of weeping willows are planted.
Looking out from the window on the second floor of Yiran Pavilion, you can see a stone arch bridge across the river, connecting the east and west banks.
This bridge is the famous Zhong'an Bridge in Xiangyang City
On the second floor of Yiran Pavilion, Meng Caiyi stood at the window, her eyes passed through the night and looked ahead
Outside the window, a faint moonlight shines on the river surface, sparkling with shimmering lights
Behind her, Gu Shanzheng reported in a very reserved tone
According to reliable information, the secret teams that have been hidden in the Wen family during this attack on our public security were the secret teams that the Wen family had been hiding due to insufficient preparations. The specific number of casualties has not been counted yet. However, it is conservatively estimated that the total number of casualties in the halls of the two places is at least about 600, which is the largest except for the battle in Dongting Lake...
Six hundred? No matter how deep Meng Caiyi's scheming was, she couldn't help but scream and turned around, her face extremely ugly
Gu Shan nodded and said: The Wen family first used vacant soldiers to harass Gong'an City and lure Yiling to rescue him, but set up a trap in the "sheep intestine tract" 15 miles away from Yiling. As a result, we stepped in for a while. More than 600 people sent to reinforce the public security were almost wiped out, and only 73 people survived, plus the loss of the Gong'an City... The total number of casualties was about 600.
Meng Caiyi asked in a deep voice: What are the casualties of the Wen family?
Gu Shan looked at the information in his hand and replied: On this side of Gong'an City, about twenty people died in the Wen family, and on this side of Yiling... Since the other party had cleared the battlefield before retreating, it was impossible to count the exact number of casualties of the other party. According to the survivors of the "Yang Yan Dao" battle, about four or five hundred people died...
Meng Caiyi sneered: I'm afraid this number is wrong! They are fighting an ambush battle. If so many people are killed, it would be unreasonable in any case. The Wen family is responsible for commanding this battle. It is very likely that Yang Si, the master of military strategy, used Yang Si's military use, and they could be killed or injured at most.
Gu Shan smiled and said: This number is watery, everyone knows that there is no evidence of death anyway, so they have to say nonsense.
Meng Caiyi sighed and said: If you can't count the number of casualties on the other party, you can't correctly estimate the Wen family's existing strength. This will be very unfavorable to your future actions. Gu Shan. I hope you can urge the headquarters to do this work and give me some exact information as soon as possible. She paused and asked again: What does the old man say about this matter?
The old man she said refers to Jing Yueqing
In the past, in order to justify the Tianmo Palace, Jing Yuqing pretended to die to lure Yingdao and others into a trap, and was willing to retreat behind the scenes. Therefore, he was called the old man in the Blood Sword Alliance headed by the Huaxi Sword Sect.
Gu Shan smiled slightly and said: The old man asked me to tell the girl eight words, "God gave you a good opportunity, please do it yourself."
Meng Caiyi agreed for a while and sighed: So, the old man means that the war is going to start in full swing?
Gu Shan thought for a while and said cautiously: The old man is very smart, how dare the young man speculate randomly? But it is said that Xiao Huaxi has begun to gather people, the eldest young master... Oh, it is the head. He just sent a letter to Fei Ge to say that we should attack the Wen family's mansion while the Wen family has not yet returned to help and give the enemy a blow.
Meng Caiyi sneered: Is this a command? Since Wen Shizhong dared to attack Gong'an and Yiling, he must have been out of nothing. I am afraid that the Wen family mansion has already been an empty house. He has made great efforts to make an empty shell with a reputation, and exposed my last armed force hidden in Xiangyang City in vain. Is this business worthwhile? Alas... Forget it, since Jing Liuyun likes to do this, let him do it, at least it will be good to hit the morale of the enemy.
Gu Shan lowered his head, not daring to look at Meng Caiyi's face
Meng Caiyi's words accidentally leaked some clues of power struggles within the Huaxi Sword Sect. On such sensitive issues, he naturally would not make any random statements to avoid causing trouble.
This is a survival philosophy of a small person. When a senior official complains about another senior official privately, you must not agree or object. It is best to pretend that you didn't hear it, because these are not your business at all. If you intervene, you will be the one who will be in the end.
However, Gu Shan is very glad that he could hear Meng Caiyi's complaints
All along, Meng Caiyi has always shown her beautiful appearance and a strong heart as hard as a hard shell. You rarely judge her true thoughts from her behavior.
It is difficult for any subordinate to understand the psychology of his superiors.
Not being able to cater to the preferences of superiors means not being able to achieve the best in the minds of superiors
In this way, in the mind of your superiors, you will never be a talent worthy of reusing.
Meng Caiyi can complain in front of her, first of all, that Meng Caiyi is not a god, and she is also psychologically fragile. Secondly, it also shows that in Meng Caiyi's heart, she can at least be regarded as one of her confidants.
If he had to choose between Jing Liuyun and Meng Caiyi in the future, he knew that he would definitely choose the latter
Although he once made an oath of being loyal to the gang when he joined the Huaxi Sword Sect, as the saying goes, he is like the flow of good deeds. This world is about strength. Meng Caiyi's personal strength and charm are far higher than Jing Liuyun's.
Jing Liuyun's biggest capital is that he has a good father
Unfortunately, that good father will eventually get old one day and it will never protect him forever
So in the long run, choosing Mengcaiyi is the right choice
Oath? What is it? It's as ridiculous as a fart
In fact, Gu Shan did not fully understand the true meaning hidden behind Meng Caiyi's complaints
Rather than saying that Meng Caiyi was dissatisfied with Jing Liuyun's command of his actions, it was better to say that Meng Caiyi was more concerned about the action itself.
As soon as the attack on the Wen family's mansion was launched, she and the Eagle Knife would completely embark on the road of frontal hostility. Either you die or I die!
This is what she tried hard to avoid
But no matter how hard she tried, the changes in the entire situation forced her to go on this path, which made her feel very sad
She's also a woman
There are many women who live for love all their lives. Although she is not that kind of woman, she is also a woman after all...
This is the real reason why Meng Caiyi's emotional out of control is temporarily lies
Meng Caiyi was stunned for a while and sighed lightly, saying: Just do what Jing Liuyun said! Long Zexiuxing will be responsible for this attack. I will not participate. You will tell him. Try not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and do not implicate the residents near the Wen family. If they are hurt, it will be difficult for the government to explain to you...
Gu Shan agreed to go
Meng Caiyi turned her head to look at the oil lamp on the table, and saw the flames rising and falling, twisting her lonely figure into an ugly image and projecting it on the ground. Suddenly, she hated herself very much.
Maybe it's time to drink some wine
She opened a jar of wine sadly, without using a cup, just raised it up and tilted her head to drink
The crystal clear liquid flowed through her throat and turned into a ball of flames that burned and scorched her internal organs and scorched her soul.
After a while, the wine in the wine jar had dried up
It turns out that I can drink so much. Looking at the empty wine jar, Meng Caiyi sneered.
She pushed open the wine jar, staggered out of the door, came to another door, pushed the door open and went in
The room is very dark and there is no light
A black figure sat in the darkness, silent, like a lifeless statue
Just now, I made a decision. Meng Caiyi walked up and hugged the man, and said in a hoarse voice: I think you should know too
The man still didn't respond, as if everything was Meng Caiyi talking to himself
Someone seems to have said that if you share happy things with others, the happier you will be; if you share painful things with others, the less painful your pain will be. So, I decided to share them with you because I am afraid that I can't bear it alone.
The man still didn't respond
I just made the decision to attack the Wen family mansion tomorrow... No, maybe there is no need to wait until tomorrow, the Eagle Knife will come to take the head on my neck! Hi, I really want to see how sad he looked when he raised the knife and slashed at me... or was he happy... Meng Caiyi said with a giggle, but tears came out in her eyes unknowingly.
The man's body suddenly shook and slowly turned around. His face was as pale as paper. It turned out to be Iori
Since breaking up with Eagle Knife, she has been sitting here alone without eating or drinking.
Iori... Why don't you talk? Do you feel very painful? Do you feel very sad? Because the person you fell in love with was our enemy... Meng Caiyi had already seen pain and sadness in Iori's eyes, but she felt it was not enough. She hoped Iori would be more painful, so that her pain might be alleviated.
It turns out that my senior sister fell in love with the person she shouldn't have fallen in love with, because I am amnesia... But why are you? Iori spoke
Not only was there pain in her eyes, but she also had compassion for Meng Caiyi.
What am I doing for?
Meng Caiyi asked herself in a low voice, and every scene of her time with the Eagle Sword suddenly flashed in front of her eyes. She couldn't help but feel confused and couldn't help but smile and shed tears, completely lost in the memories of the past.
Thinking of the wounded part, the meridians in the body suddenly became disordered, and I felt a sweet throat and a sweet and fishy blood sprayed out of my mouth.
Iori cried and hugged Meng Caiyi tightly and said: Senior sister, Senior sister... Let's go back to Fusang together! I never want to stay here again. It's so crazy here. I can't stand it, I really can't stand it...
Meng Caiyi smiled slightly: Iori, can you guarantee that you will forget the Eagle Knife and everything that happened here when you return to Fusang?
Forgot him? Forgot everything? How could this be done...
Iori felt ache in his heart and couldn't speak
Since we can't forget him, we will go the same wherever we go. Meng Caiyi murmured, looking at the sky with a daze: Because, this is fate, we have nowhere to escape...
When this sentence was finished, Meng Caiyi returned to normal, calm and calm
