Afterwards, Duan Tianyang lightly knocked on the stirrup and rode into Longsha City.

After entering the city, he went directly to the city lord's mansion and ordered his soldiers to immediately arrest Wen Ping's family and confiscate all of Wen Ping's property.

Then, Duan Tianyang commended the 500 defenders in the city to commend their achievements in defending the city.

Duan Tianyang was good at managing the army and clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments.

As soon as he arrived in Longsha, he executed Wen Ping, but was particularly kind to the Longsha army.

Not only did he not kill anyone indiscriminately, but he also gave generous rewards to every soldier and provided generous pensions to the families of the fallen soldiers. Therefore, the Longsha Army was convinced by him.

Duan Tianyang is good at using the strategy of combining kindness and severity, being strict first and then lenient.

Soon, he won the support of the soldiers in Longsha City, and people expressed their willingness to follow this fair and strict superior.

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Duan Tianyang sat in the middle, with Guan Hu, Xiao Fang and others sitting on both sides.

He looked at Bai Qi who was nervous and uneasy, and said with a smile: "Boss Bai, you don't have to be so reserved. Now that the old pervert Wen Ping is dead, you should be relieved."

Bai Qi took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Duan Tianyang, and said solemnly: "Master Duan always keeps his word, I am very grateful."

"Well, now disband your 'rebel army'. If they are willing to follow our army, I welcome them. If not, I will prepare a severance package for you, and you can give it to them." Duan Tianyang suggested calmly.

"Master Duan has been very kind to me, how dare I accept your severance pay?" Bai Qi responded with a solemn expression, "I can still afford this little money, Master Duan, please rest assured."

Duan Tianyang smiled and nodded upon hearing this, and further said: "That's right, the rebel army was originally organized by you, Boss Bai. Now the important task of disbanding them will be handed over to you, Boss Bai."

"I obey your command!" Bai Qi responded with a bow, and then said, "Master Duan, I will withdraw now."

After saying that, Bai Qi led Bai Feng and Bai Ling out.

On the way to the outer gate, Bai Ling couldn't help but cast a curious look at Duan Tianyang...

This person's personality is really hard to figure out...

Sometimes he is so cold and emotionless that he can kill people while talking and laughing. Sometimes he is gentle and polite.

In her opinion, Duan Tianyang can only be described as unpredictable and fickle...

Before Bai Qi and others walked out of the hall, a soldier covered in dust rushed in from outside. He had a military badge and the Hongxing Society token hanging on his waist and was panting.

The soldier walked quickly to Duan Tianyang, saluted, and said anxiously: "Brother Tian, ​​the Wild Wolf Tribe just sent a message that the Jin Kingdom has sent people into Xifan and has now arrived at the Dantu Tribe. They are discussing the issue of borrowing troops from them!"

Duan Tianyang couldn't help but take a breath when he heard this.

The Jin Kingdom not only planned to station troops in Xifan, but also intended to borrow troops from the large tribes in Xifan. This means that the Jin Kingdom’s military strength in Xifan will far exceed 200,000!

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Right now, the area outside Xiguan City was fraught with danger, while the area around Yunzhong City was still in disarray, with rebels rising up everywhere and local armies acting independently.

If the Jin Kingdom led the Western Fan Army to launch an attack, how would Xiguan City resist?

Duan Tianyang was anxious, and turned to ask, "Xiao Fang, have the people we sent to Xuanhuang City arrived?"

He had previously sent a letter to Ling Ziyan, but had never received a reply, so he sent a messenger to Xuanhuang City to deliver urgent military information.

Xiao Fang pondered for a moment and replied, "The people we sent out have been on the road for almost half a month. According to the time calculation, they should have arrived at Xuanhuang City by now. However, the Xiguan area is now in turmoil, and rebels frequently appear. It is not certain that he will be able to arrive smoothly."

Duan Tianyang sighed silently in his heart. If it were in modern times, he would only need one phone call to explain everything clearly.

However, this is an ancient alien world and there are no mobile phones available.

He whispered to himself: "If the Yi family remains indifferent, not only will we be trampled by the Jin army, I am afraid that the entire Divine Realm will be in danger."

It would be difficult for a small border soldier to set foot in the princess's mansion, let alone meet the noble Ling Ziyan.

In addition, he had such an unpleasant experience with Ling Ziyan before, so Ling Ziyan might not necessarily meet the person he sent.

Therefore, he sent an envoy to Xuanhuang City, not to the princess's mansion, but to find Chen Ximeng.

At the beginning, Yi Tian had arranged for him and Chen Ximeng to be the personal guards of Yi Fan and Ling Ziyan respectively.

Although he was later transferred to Xiguan City, Chen Ximeng was promoted step by step and now he has become the commander of the guards in the City Lord's Mansion.

Duan Tianyang and Chen Ximeng did not have much interaction, and only met at the treasure hunt competition.

But he had a very good impression of Chen Ximeng, and thought that the magnanimity and broad-mindedness he showed after losing the competition were admirable.

When it comes to dealing with national affairs, Chen Ximeng should not be ambiguous. Besides, in Xuanhuang City, Duan Tianyang has no other acquaintances except Yi Yunxi.

Although no one might be willing to convey the military information to others, Duan Tianyang was confident that Chen Ximing would be aware of the urgency of the matter and would be able to convey the military information to the Yi family.

The messenger who was sent by Duan Tianyang to travel far away did not encounter any setbacks during the journey, but arrived safely in Xuanhuang City.

His journey was extremely difficult. Two of his horses died from excessive exhaustion, but he continued to travel day and night without slacking off.

When he arrived at Xuanhuang City, he was already dusty and exhausted.

"I came from Xiguan City on the orders of Lord Duan. I have urgent military information and need to see Lord Chen." The messenger stated his purpose breathlessly and took out a military badge from his bosom to show his identity.

"Xiguan City?" Upon hearing this, a guard hurriedly took the military badge and asked in confusion after checking it carefully, "The Lord Duan you mentioned, is it Lord Duan Tianyang?" The messenger nodded in confirmation.

The guard frowned slightly. He had also heard that Duan Tianyang was transferred to Xiguan City by the princess.

He looked at the messenger in front of him, only to see that he was covered in dust, as if he had just struggled out of the mud. He couldn't help but wonder, "What kind of urgent military situation is this?"

The messenger just said firmly: "I must see Master Chen!"

The guards did not dare to delay and hurried forward to report.

Chen Ximeng had already gone to bed to rest. When he heard that Duan Tianyang had sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, he was quite surprised.

Since it was urgent military intelligence, why didn't Duan Tianyang pass the news directly to the City Lord's Mansion, but instead passed it to himself?

He quickly ordered someone to bring the messenger in. After reading Duan Tianyang's handwritten letter, Chen Ximeng's brows suddenly furrowed.

If it is true as stated in the letter that the Kingdom of Jin intends to station troops in Xifan, with the intention of launching a surprise attack on the Xiguan area through Xifan and directly attacking Xuanhuang City, then this matter is indeed extremely urgent and should not be underestimated.
