Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 652 Unnecessary Worry

The order in the city collapsed and the riots continued to spread. In contrast to the hustle and bustle outside the government office, there was deathly silence in the Military Hall.

In the Military Principal Hall, Xu Yuan sat on the main seat that originally belonged to Li Junwu. Huang Shiwei stood in front of the hall, and several strong men with concentrated souls knelt beside him:

"Are these the generals who just rebelled?"

Huang Shiwei bowed his head and saluted:
"Yes, Huang left a few people alive for interrogation."

"."

His eyes swept over those garrison commanders who had taken off their armor. The voices of several of them had been sealed by Huang Shiwei's magic, but their eyes all revealed the fear of injustice.

After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a slightly tired look:

"There's no need to interrogate them for now, just detain them."

Huang Shiwei showed a hint of hesitation.

Seeing this, Si Zijing, who was standing beside him, snorted coldly:
"Based on Third Young Master's experience, these people did not come voluntarily, but were controlled by the sect's people using some kind of magic."

"Control magic?" Huang Shiwei frowned, "How could there be so many people?"

Xu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the soul-condensing burly men and said, "It's just a guess, but I'd like to trouble Mr. Huang to bring them back and send these samples back to Di'an. Perhaps we can reverse-engineer and find some clues about that person's skills.

"Okay, let's put this aside for now. What is the current situation in the city?"

Seeing that the Third Young Master had already made up his mind, Huang Shiwei said no more. He carefully selected his words and whispered:
"It's terrible. After the saint left, when I flew low over the headquarters of those large chambers of commerce, I could see that they were packing their bags and preparing to move out, and there were riots in some areas of the city."

Si Zijing frowned slightly when he heard this:

"Disband the camp? Now that the sky curtain protecting the city has been raised, where can those large chambers of commerce go even if they disband their camp? Are the leaders of those large chambers of commerce so ignorant?"

"Huang judged that they must have been instigated by someone."

"incite?"

"They were instigated to gather and force the emperor to abdicate. From their perspective, staying in the city would mean death."

"It's ridiculous."

Si Zijing showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth: "These people are the shopkeepers of a prefecture, don't they understand the principle that when the nest is overturned, no egg can remain intact?"

Huang Shiwei glanced at him and said calmly:

"Mr. Si, you have been away from the grassroots for too long, so long that you can no longer understand their motives."

"Huang Shiwei, what do you mean?" Si Zijing frowned.

"enough."

Xu Yuan spoke up and interrupted the argument that was about to break out.

When they heard the Third Young Master speak, the two of them shut up and bowed their heads.

His eyes swept over the heads of the two people, and Xu Yuan sighed slightly in his heart.

Is this a situation where you are facing an unfavorable situation?
See Weizhi book.

Even people like Si Zijing and Huang Shiwei started to have this meaningless argument in their hearts, let alone the people below them.

However, he could also understand the anxiety in the hearts of the two. If the mortals below still had a chance of surviving when the city was broken, then the two of them would definitely become the targets of the saints.
"The attitudes of those Chamber of Commerce and Knights are not important. Today, Zhenxi City is a giant logistics city, with 60% to 70% of the population floating around. It is normal for these people to choose to flee when disaster strikes."

Huang Shiwei took a step to the side, bowed his head, and gave advice:

"Third Young Master, the sky curtain protecting the city is still there. Even if those low-level warriors riot, it will not affect the overall situation. The most urgent task is to prevent those rioters from spreading panic to the army. Then everything will be over."

Xu Yuan waved his hand and replied:

"The princess has just arranged for Commander Jin to handle this matter. He will gather all the troops in the city to the government training ground."

Huang Shiwei thought for a moment and agreed:
"The morale of the army is already unstable. If we send troops to suppress those warriors, it may spread panic to the army. What you said is indeed a way to prevent panic."

Speaking of this, he changed the subject:
"But in this case, there will be no one on duty on the city wall. If the riot spreads, what will we do if the warriors destroy the wall formation?"

Si Zijing shook his head and advised:

"There may be a riot in the city, and you and I can suppress it. The insect swarm that is coming outside the city is the key."

Listening to the two's discussion, Xu Yuan made the final statement:
“Although the attack by Bai Di had a huge visual impact, it did not damage the origin of the formation. There is still enough source crystals in the city. We cannot break the city in a short time with the insect swarm. The most urgent task now is to stabilize the morale of the army.

"As for the possible riots in the city, Mr. Si can go alone. I will arrange for Zhou Chen to cooperate with you."

Huang Shiwei hesitated slightly and said:
"Third Master, what is Huang doing?"

Xu Yuan glanced at him, a smile on his lips:
"If you go there now, you'll run into Xu Mengxi. That woman seems to have an imperial token on her, and she's currently maintaining order in the city."

Hearing this, Huang Shiwei lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you for your kindness, but there are many people in the Chamber of Commerce who have learned simple military formations. This matter is of great importance and cannot be missed. Mr. Si alone cannot take care of the entire city."

“Since you insist, the two of you can cooperate with each other, one in the open and one in the dark.

"And Si Zijing, besides this matter, don't forget to set up the talisman trap."

Seeing that the arrangements were complete, Xu Yuan stood up from his chair and whispered as he turned around:

"I'm going to check on the princess's injuries. You two can go down."

"Yes."

After saying this, Si Zijing, Huang Shiwei and several captured garrison commanders disappeared into the military hall.

The front hall of the Military Privy Hall is where the Second Town Commander Zhan Xian'an handles official business, while the back hall is a meditation room built specifically for him, which is equipped with various formations to assist in his cultivation.

When Xu Yuan entered the inner hall, Li Junwu was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed and regulating his breathing.

As soon as he entered and saw the inner armor that she had taken off, Xu Yuan frowned unconsciously.

He knew that Li Junwu was injured due to the backlash of the military formation's power, but he didn't expect that the injury was so serious.

Walking to his side, Xu Yuan leaned over, picked up the inner armor and examined it for a moment, then looked at its owner, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

The eyelashes of his tightly closed eyes trembled, and his face was pale. There were no obvious wounds on Li Junwu's body, but the blood stains that had not yet coagulated almost covered the surface of the inner armor.

"It's not a good habit to mess with a woman's underwear."

Li Junwu's voice rang out in the empty and silent chamber, with a hint of ridicule: "But considering the urgency of the military situation, I will not bother with you for the time being."

Xu Yuan looked at the woman's opened eyes and said indifferently:
"From the way you looked when you came back, I thought your injury wasn't too serious."

Li Junwu didn't care when he heard that. He stretched out his hand and pulled the black shirt on his body, and said in a tone of encouragement:
"This is the blood discharged by the secret healing method. The inner armor sticking to my body is very uncomfortable, so I will take it off first."

As she spoke, she smiled and changed the subject: "Changtian, do you know how to create water? Can you help me wash this inner armor?"

Xu Yuan ignored her, but stared at the inner armor in his hand and said:

"The Fate-Defying Blood Treatment is a secret healing method often used to treat injuries to the meridians of the five internal organs at the cost of overdrawing one's life. The essential principle is to accelerate the aging of the meridians of the internal organs to achieve the effect of healing the wound."

Li Junwu's eyes froze for a moment, then he looked away and said indignantly:

"Tsk, how come you know everything?"

Xu Yuan stared at her without saying anything.

The smoke in the secret room diffused, and the fragrance of the woman entered the nose

Li Junwu was silent for a few breaths and sighed, then slowly stood up from the ground, looked at him straight in the eyes, and said helplessly:
"Didn't we make an agreement before? But with my previous injuries, I can hardly even stand, and I can't come out to stabilize the morale of the troops."

"The more serious your injuries are, the more it will inspire the cohesion of the Zhenxi Army."

"That was when there were no spies in Zhenxi Prefecture!"

"."

The sudden voice echoed, and Xu Yuan was speechless.

The princess was seriously injured while defending the city. This propaganda could indeed change the soldiers of the Zhenxi Army's opinion of their dissolute princess. However, at this critical juncture, this incident would instead become a sharp sword stabbing them.

Li Junwu took a deep breath, stared into his eyes, and said firmly:
"Without a backbone, the Zhenxi Army will collapse, so I must stand up. Even if I can't command the army of a town, I have to make the soldiers believe that I can do it!"

Baidi is attacking, and the army is in turmoil. There are only two solutions.

First, Linlang went up to disturb Baidi to show that there were saints blessing the city, but unfortunately, Linlang was unwilling to fight with Baidi, so Xu Yuan and Li Junwu had to choose the second way.

Make gods.

Even though there are many internal problems, it is undeniable that the Zhenxi Army is still the elite of Dayan.

The reason why the morale of the soldiers in the city is shaken is essentially because there is no general who can give them a sense of security and make them confident that they will win the battle.

But before this happened, the conspiracy of the Confucian scholar named Wen had forced Xu Yuan and Li Junwu to kill the only two generals who possessed such prestige.

Therefore, they have to push out a new person to stabilize the morale of the troops.

Xu Yuan is an outsider and it is impossible for him to take on this important task. The prestige of the leader surnamed Jin is not enough, and the skills he has learned are not enough to lead an entire town, so it can only be done by the successor Li Junwu.

Scratching his hair in annoyance, Xu Yuan threw away the bloodstained inner armor in his hand and sat down on the ground:
"Okay, I get it, this is indeed what you should do."

The inner armor fell to the ground with a clang, echoing loudly.

Xu Yuan looked up at her in a slim black shirt and said calmly:
"I have already arranged everything you were worried about. I have asked Huang Shiwei and his men to deal with the unrest in the city. As for the various tribes in the second town, they will all be able to gather at the government office within half an hour."

Hearing this, Li Junwu smiled slightly, leaned over, put his hands on the hem of her skirt, slowly sat down beside him, and asked softly:

"Based on the situation just now, Baidi retreated. This should mean that there are also disagreements among the other side, right?"

Xu Yuan snorted and looked back: "In this regard, you are quite smart."

Li Junwu raised his chin:

"This girl can still see through such a simple thing."

"There are more than just disagreements among the six saints. It's no exaggeration to say that they are fighting among themselves. Do you see that?"

"what?"

"It seems you're still not smart enough."

"Tsk." Li Junwu frowned in dissatisfaction and bumped him with his shoulder: "There must be something you haven't told me yet."

Xu Yuan curved his eyes and smiled: "You are wrongly accusing me. I even told you about the Hanging Stone Ring. How could I possibly hide it from you?"

As he spoke, Xu Yuan lowered his eyes slightly, and inexplicably recalled the scene of him and that woman in Beifeng City, and chuckled and said:

"But if a woman is too smart, she may be difficult to deal with."

Li Junwu stared at his profile for a few breaths and snorted coldly:

"It seems that there is some disagreement between the Prince Consort and the Princess."

Xu Yuan's eyes widened slightly, but he did not deny it. Instead, he teased with some surprise:
"You can actually tell who I'm talking about. You're a woman after all, and your intuition is really accurate."

Li Junwu's eyes twitched and he said angrily:

"It's not intuition. Who else could make you say such a thing in such a tone except Li Qingyan?"

After that, she waved her hand impatiently:
"It's already this late and you're still keeping me in suspense? Hurry up and tell me."

“It’s too complicated to explain.”

After Xu Yuan complained in a low voice, he still sorted out the relationship between the six saints to the good-looking brother in front of him.

After listening carefully, Li Junwu said in a whisper:

"The Insect Saint's family is cannon fodder hired by the sect, and the two saints on the sect's side have murderous intentions with the Lord of the Ancient Abyss. Is this what you mean?"

"uh-huh."

Xu Yuan smiled and nodded: "The philosophy of Jiantian Pavilion is a bit hypocritical, but their attitude towards alien races has always been to kill them all. If there is a chance to kill the Lord of Guyuan, they will definitely not miss it."

"Where is the philosophy of Jiantian Pavilion so empty and false?"

A slightly dissatisfied voice suddenly sounded behind the two of them. Looking back, they saw Tian Ye with Tian Yan's face standing quietly behind them, with his arms folded across his chest and a smile in his eyes.

Seeing this evil woman again after half a day, Xu Yuan patted the seat on his other side and motioned her to sit over.

Tian Ye did not refuse when he saw it. After sitting down, he said slowly:

"For this ideal, generations of people in Jiantian Pavilion died."

"I mean now, humanity is flourishing now." Xu Yuan retorted, "Isn't the Jiantian Pavilion coming into being now just to fight for power and profit?"

Tian Ye tilted his head and thought for a while, then smiled sweetly:
"You're right in saying that."

"right."

Xu Yuan exhaled lightly and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to show up at this time?"

Tian Ye answered without thinking:

"I came to give you some information. This is what I heard when I was wandering around the city earlier."

Xu Yuan felt a little surprised:
"You'll actually help me?"

"I'll be sad if you say that." Tian Ye showed a pitiful and sad look, but then he chuckled: "The main thing is that you will know this information later, so it doesn't go against my principles to tell you in advance."

"what's up?"

"About some rumors circulating in the Zhenxi Army now."

Tian Ye held his chin, pretending to be thinking, and whispered:
"I don't know where it came from, but some people say that those saints actually came here just for you and your concubine, so as long as you hand you over, they will retreat."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes:

"Those soldiers actually believed this rumor of 'ceding territory in exchange for peace'?"

"Who made your Xiangguo Mansion have such a bad reputation?"

"hehe."

"The evil plan of the person on the other side is really one link after another."

Tian Ye tilted his head to look at him, tapping his cheek with his slender index finger. "How are you going to deal with this? If you keep going like this, the entire Second Town will unite to reject you, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. After all, you are an outsider."

"Will not."

"Hmm?" Tian Ye looked at Li Junwu on the other side across Xu Yuan.

Li Junwu didn't look at her, but just said softly:
"Since it's a rumor, let's add some spice to it."

"Eh~"

Tian Ye stretched out his voice and squinted at the little girl: "Do you want to include you, the princess?"

"Ah."

"But it's probably too late. This rumor spreads very quickly."

"So I have to ask you for this matter." Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted and looked at Tian Ye.

"Don't go."

Tian Ye turned his face away directly.

"." Tian Yan.

"." All day and night.

"."

"."

After a moment, Tian Ye turned his head and said reluctantly:
"Okay, okay, don't make a fuss about stealing my body. I'll help him this time."

While talking,

Tian Ye stood up leisurely and said with a smile:
"Brother Xu Yuan, remember to thank little sister Tian Yan~"

As the words fell, Tian Ye’s slender figure gradually faded away and finally disappeared into the secret room.

Seeing Tian Ye leave, Li Junwu had no intention of chatting anymore. He stood up and said to Xu Yuan:

"Changtian, let's go get ready too."

Xu Yuan nodded with a smile and stood up with him. He also picked up the blood-stained inner armor beside him and used his internal energy to peel off the blood stains from the armor:

"You forgot your inner armor."

Li Junwu stared at the slim-fitting inner armor for a moment, then suddenly curved his eyes and smiled evilly:
"Well, this inner armor is for you."

"what?"

"Why, you don't want my underwear?"

"vomit"

Xu Yuan pretended to retch.

Li Junwu rolled his eyes and said:
"Do you want it or not? The array pattern on it is not enough to support the military strength of a town. I have to go to the treasury to exchange it for a better one."

"."

Xu Yuan held the inner armor and subconsciously stopped.

Li Junwu walked a few steps and found that the other party did not catch up. He looked back in surprise and asked angrily:
"Why are you standing there?"

The air was silent, and only the flashing array patterns could be heard in the huge secret room.

After a few moments of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled, casually put the inner armor into the Xumi Ring, and quickly followed:

"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something."

Li Junwu did not doubt him and complained:
"Mysterious"

Before she could finish her words, she found that her wrist was grabbed by him from behind. Li Junwu's beautiful eyes paused for a moment, and then she heard Xu Yuan's voice coming from behind:
"Are you going to continue to mobilize the army?"

"what?"

"Aren't you changing into inner armor to adapt to a larger military formation?" Xu Yuan held her wrist with a little force.

Li Junwu frowned and glared at him with a sidelong look, his eyes smiling and reproachful:
"You said I wasn't smart before, but we have to do the whole show, right?"

"I cherish my life as much as you do. I only stayed in Zhenxi Mansion for a few years when I was a child. I won't die here for it. I can't run away with you."

While talking,

Li Junwu's eyes were calm. He raised his other hand and clenched his fist. He gently hit his chest and said softly:
"Your worries are unnecessary, Changtian."
