Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Xu Yun said softly, "We escaped from Ruyang City. Our family has some friendship with Taoist Qingyun. Taoist Qingyun calculated that Ruyang City would face a great disaster, and it was at his suggestion that we left the city. Do you know what the situation in Ruyang City is like now?"

Having been following Aunt Deng these days, Xu Yun had been cut off from news and actually had no idea what was going on in Ruyang City.

But I don't think it will be safe. Xu Sanlang is not a man of integrity, and it is even more impossible for him to fight to the death to defend the city, so most likely...

However, when Xu Yun asked this question, the other party would not think that Xu Yun was unaware of the situation. Instead, the other party would tell him everything he knew.

As expected, upon hearing about Ruyang City, County Magistrate Zhou's expression became complicated, and then he sighed, "How could I not know? Ruyang City has been broken and is now occupied by the Stone Army. The Stone Army is taking advantage of Ruyang City and is probably planning to cede the land to govern. I heard that the people in Ruyang City who resisted were massacred."

He looked at Xu Yun and said, "It's a pity that you escaped."

At this point, he also reacted immediately: "The Stone Army's lair is in Luling Mountain?"

Xu Yun nodded, took a little tea from the cup on the table, and used his finger as a pen to point at two points: "This is Ruyang City, and this is Luling Mountain. They have a stronghold halfway up Luling Mountain. But the food is not here."

She pointed to another place again: "There is a natural cave in Luling Mountain. The things that the Stone Army looted are all stored in the cave. The cave can be used to bypass their stronghold directly."

Xu Yun glanced at County Magistrate Zhou who was listening attentively and said, "We can dig a hole in another part of the mountain wall and steal directly. We can also take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Stone Army is stationed in Ruyang City and launch a surprise attack directly."

County Magistrate Zhou nodded repeatedly, the light in his eyes was frighteningly bright.

Even Aunt Deng was stunned by what she said.

Xu Yun continued to speak, and pointed at the spot of Luling Mountain with his white finger: "Ruyang City has been captured, and the court will definitely send people to encircle and suppress the bandits. They can't spare the energy for the time being."

"But we need to be careful. They must have a way to communicate with each other. If we want to launch a surprise attack, we must do it secretly and quickly. Otherwise, we may not be able to take away the food and will be caught in a fierce battle."

Xu Yun sighed softly: "Although I don't know how to fight, this is a bit risky. Whether to do it or not depends on your discussion."

County Magistrate Zhou praised: "Miss Xu's analysis is very thorough. But there is one thing I don't understand."

Xu Yun: "Please speak."

"Does Miss Xu have any family still in Ruyang City? Also, how did Miss Xu know that the Stone Army's lair was in Luling Mountain? She even knew which cave they hid their food." County Magistrate Zhou kept smiling, but his eyes were full of scrutiny and majesty.

And this time, Aunt Deng didn't say anything, but just kept watching Xu Yun quietly.

Xu Yun understood what this meant.

Ordinary people would definitely not know this kind of secret.

Moreover, such a suitable opportunity and careful plan, no matter how you look at it or hear it, it seems a bit like an attractive trap.

Therefore, County Magistrate Zhou suspected that Xu Yun's family was captured by someone, so he sneaked into the Xinghuo Army to set bait.

By then, as long as the Spark Army arrives, they will be caught off guard - although the loss of some troops will not have much impact on the Spark Army, the Spark Army has not yet been defeated.

The imperial court desperately needs a victory to enhance its prestige.

Xu Yun smiled: "My father was indeed in Ruyang City. But now, he has left long ago. There is no danger. Moreover, my father placed me and my mother in the Taoist temple for a concubine. I grew up in the Taoist temple."

After a pause, Xu Yun added softly, "My mother and I just want to live our own lives. Family and relatives seem like a thing of the past."

Aunt Deng doesn’t even know this much.

When she heard Xu Yun say that he grew up in a Taoist temple, a strange look appeared on her face - how could you raise a child like this?

County Magistrate Zhou fell into deep thought, wondering about the credibility of Xu Yun's words.

Xu Yun didn't say much, just waited patiently. If he said too much at this time, he would seem guilty.

County Magistrate Zhou finally asked: "Do you need me to lead the way?"

Xu Yun shook his head: "No need. I have only heard of this matter, but I don't know the exact location. I grew up in a Taoist temple and have never traveled far. I have never been to Luling Mountain."

After a pause, Xu Yun explained why he knew this: "Actually, I heard it in the mansion. Someone informed my father about this, but unfortunately my father did not believe it. The picture was also thrown away, and I took a look at it before it was destroyed."

Well, of course this is fake.

In fact, Xu Yun later saw this blueprint in a bandit's lair. At that time, the Stone Army was wiped out by the Spark Army in Ruyang City, but the Stone Army's granary was not found. Instead, it was finally found by the remnants of the Stone Army and another wave of bandits.

The news spread.

No one believed it at the time. The person who missed out on so much food and weapons was the bandit leader of Xu Yun's bandit den.

As for the blueprint, Xu Yun also took it out from his body and placed it on the table: "This is the blueprint I drew based on my memory. It may not be completely correct, but it should give a rough idea of ​​the location."

The blueprint was just drawn by Xu Yun these two days.

It may not be correct. After all, it has been such a long time... I can't remember some details clearly.

County Magistrate Zhou looked at the blueprint, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, with a complicated expression.

Xu Yun smiled, knowing what County Magistrate Zhou wanted to say, and said softly, "In the future, my father will regret it when he knows what he missed."

After a long while, County Magistrate Zhou finally spoke, but his face was full of caution: "So this matter may not be true. After all, no one has verified it."

Xu Yun looked at County Magistrate Zhou calmly and said, "That's true. So whether you believe it or not depends on your discussion. My mother and I will not leave in the near future."

If they don't leave, they can be killed if they find anything wrong at any time.

Xu Yun remained calm: "I think this is probably true."

County Magistrate Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I need to report this matter to the higher authorities. After all, it is a major matter of sending troops—"

Even if he wanted to make the decision, he couldn't mobilize the troops.

Xu Yun understood everything, but still reminded him: "The situation is changing very quickly. If we want to do something, we must do it quickly."

As long as time goes by quickly, and while things in Ruyang City are not yet resolved, most of the main forces of the Stone Army are there, and there are fewer people defending, we can use the least amount of troops to achieve the best effect.

County Magistrate Zhou personally escorted Xu Yun and Aunt Deng out, and promised: "I will let you know when there is news."

Xu Yun smiled faintly: "No need to tell me. When it's done, just tell me when the food is distributed."

She mentioned the matter of Accountant Tan: "By the way, Accountant Tan has a good relationship with you, and I guess he can't do the accounting recently. Do you think you can find someone to do the accounting?"

Aunt Deng also nodded repeatedly: "Oh, I almost forgot when you interrupted me."

As a result, County Magistrate Zhou casually said, "Since Miss Xu can read, Miss Xu can temporarily help record for a few days. It's not a complicated matter."

Aunt Deng took Xu Yun away.

As they walked away, Aunt Deng sighed, "It seems that it is not County Magistrate Zhou."
