across mountains and seas

Jing Lan remembered that she had an appointment with Liu Xi for a month and a half.

"Alan, I will give you a chance. If you can beat me tonight, I will leave Haicheng with the letter to release my wife."

At the beginning, Jing Lan wanted to defeat Liu Xi and drive Liu Xi out of Haicheng, but when Liu Xi mentioned this matter again today, Jing Lan hesitated.

Seeing that she didn't reply immediately, Liu Xi said aggressively: "After today, this agreement will not count."

Jing Lan clenched the long sword tightly, only to hear a "clang" sound, and the long sword broke suddenly.

Liu Xi was slightly taken aback.

Jing Lan threw away the broken sword, "The sword is broken, I can't fight." Then, he pretended to be tired and stretched, "If you like to fight, you can go to the second brother and the others to compete, I will not accompany you. "Jing Lan turned around and took a few steps towards the room, as if thinking of something again, she stopped and said, "If the old injury is torn again, and it hurts again, you can invite Mr. Hai to come by yourself, I won't do anything. I don't care." After finishing speaking, Jing Lan walked into the room without hesitation, and closed the door with a "bang".

Jing Huan's eyes widened, and he was delighted in his heart, "It's ok, Xiao Wu, I can handle things now!"

Liu Xi didn't expect Jing Lan to refuse the challenge, this girl really made progress.

Jing Huan noticed that Liu Xi's eyes fell on him, and he said in a panic, "Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong! I will never give Xiao Wu such bad ideas again!"

Liu Xi smiled and said, "It's not enough to just know you're wrong."

"Ah?" Jing Huan secretly felt that something was wrong, as if his sister-in-law's anger was about to be poured on him.

Liu Xi put Jingyue away, and gave Jing Huan a wink, "Go, accompany me to a place."

"Don't you need to tell Xiao Wu?" Jing Huan deliberately raised his voice.

Liu Xi glanced contemptuously at Jing Lan's tightly closed door, "She never cared about where I went, let's go." As soon as the words fell, Liu Xi quietly pricked up her ears, and clearly heard the sound of the door opening.

She suppressed a smile and said nothing, tugged at Jing Huan, urged him to walk faster, and soon disappeared from Jing Lan's sight.

"Can't you just wait in Haicheng to recuperate?" Jing Lan frowned and sighed bitterly.She hesitated for a moment in front of the door, then made up her mind and went to find Uncle Jiu.

It just so happened that Uncle Jing Jiu had received a secret report and was rushing to report to Jing Lan.

From afar, I saw Uncle Jing Jiu looking anxious, and Jing Lan resisted the words to ask, "Uncle Jiu, what's the matter?"

"Young master, something serious is wrong!" Uncle Jing Jiu replied truthfully, "The spies came to report that Miss Liu San's army has withdrawn."

"She really dares to attack Haicheng regardless of the rear?" Jing Lan didn't expect that after a long stalemate, Miss Liu San couldn't help but send troops.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "This girl should not be underestimated. She has not been idle for a few days when she camped in Dongfuzhou. She quietly divided the army back and confronted the imperial court's soldiers and horses. If the imperial court really took the opportunity to send troops to attack the rear, perhaps Can't take advantage of anything!"

"How long has it been since the Wei family soldiers pulled out of the camp?" Jing Lan looked serious, knowing the seriousness of the matter.

Uncle Jing Jiu calculated carefully, "About four days."

"Four days..." Jing Lan estimated the army's footsteps. If the weather is fine these few days, then her army will definitely arrive outside Haicheng in three days.

"Is there any movement from Prince Consort Cao?" Jing Lan asked again.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "It's gone without a trace."

It's just the name of the governor, and the court still has to think about it for so many days. I'm afraid Cao Yang has other thoughts and wants to try their Dongjing clan's strength again; or take advantage of Liu Su's army to invade Haicheng. When the time comes, pick up the bargain later.

"Uncle Nine, first count the firearms and arrows in the mansion, and if there are not enough, let the casting platform step up casting. The brother who was injured in a surprise attack by the remnants of the Ye clan a few days ago, let Mr. Hai take good care of him, and if he is not injured... Uncle Nine, give me A roster." For a while, Jing Lan couldn't think of any good way to fight against the menacing Wei Jianbai's old army, so let her think about it first, how to defeat the enemy this time?

Uncle Jing Jiu said solemnly: "Yes! Young Master!"

"Go get ready." Jing Lan had just finished speaking, thinking of Liu Xi's matter, she didn't tell Uncle Jing Jiu, "By the way, Uncle Jiu."

"Huh?" Uncle Jing Jiu turned around in astonishment.

"The outside of Haicheng is not safe for the past few days. You tell the brothers on duty to stop Aunt Hong or sister-in-law when they go out." Jing Lan really didn't want to make any troubles at this time.

Uncle Jing Jiu nodded, "Okay."

After watching Uncle Jing Jiu walk away, Jing Lan didn't dare to be idle, so she went to Sansheng Pavilion.

She took out the map of East Fuzhou from the bookshelf, and also took out the topography of East Fuzhou. While calculating Liu Su's marching speed, she compared the records in the topography, thinking about where to attack, First break the menacing momentum of Liu Su's army.

Jing's mechanism design is adapted to local conditions. Now that the enemy is strong and we are weak, we can only defeat them by cleverness.

Although the best way is to capture the king first, but she has never fought against Liu Su, and I don't know how her martial arts are. How many Xishan Liu family's firearms are equipped in the army?

Friends, but not enemies, this battle is not easy to fight.

"Here..." Jing Lan's eyes lighted up slightly, and she tapped the map of Dongfuzhou three times with her fingertips. The place name on it was [Longling].According to the topographical records, the mountains here are steep and the terrain is complex. There are 33 peaks and seven deep pools. At the beginning of every month, the forest is prone to miasma, and it will never disperse until noon.

This should be the best place to surprise Liu Su's army.

She picked up a pen and wrote down the place names on the white paper, and based on the records in the topographical records, she wrote down a list of the names of the organs and equipment that needed to be prepared.

While Jing Lan was immersed in thinking about countermeasures, Liu Xi brought Jing Huan to Wanghai Ferry.

Jing Huan said in surprise, "Sister-in-law, do you want to go to sea?"

"It's not me, it's you, Fourth Uncle." Liu Xi replied with a smile, "Going 170 miles north from here, there are a few uninhabited islands. I want to ask Fourth Uncle to bring people to the islands to dig some iron ore back."

Jing Huan let out a long sigh of relief, but frowned in confusion, "I've also been to those uninhabited islands, and there aren't any good iron mines."

Liu Xi said firmly: "Fourth Uncle will look for it carefully, if I say it is there, it must be there."

Jing Huan looked at Liu Xi suspiciously again, "Sister-in-law, what if there is no one?"

"Come back if you don't." Liu Xi chuckled, "I'll take someone to dig instead."

"No, I will dig it back for my sister-in-law!" Jing Huan quickly patted his chest, "As long as my sister-in-law is not angry, I will do anything!"

"Thank you, Fourth Uncle." Liu Xi nodded and smiled.

Jing Huan finally saw Liu Xi smiling, and quickly comforted him, "Xiao Wu is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. If he hadn't insisted on staying in the Shixia last night, I'm afraid that something would happen if Mom and you drank too much."

"Didn't she pass by the city with Uncle Jing Jiu?" Liu Xi was slightly surprised.

Jing Huan shook his head quickly, "That's not true! The four of us were all there at first, but then I went to make sober soup with my second and third brothers, and Xiao Wu stayed alone."

"She's been guarding below?" Liu Xi's smile showed a hint of warmth.

Jing Huan nodded, "Yes!"

Be kind to people for a while, and be cruel to people for a while.

Liu Xi smiled, it seemed that she had to meet her quietly to see what this girl was thinking?

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Wu is still young, don't worry about some things with her, okay?" Jing Huan said again.

"Okay." Liu Xi nodded.

Jing Huan smiled triumphantly, "Then I'll set off to search for mines!"

"Well, be careful on the road." Liu Xi watched Jing Huan get on the ship, and when the ship was far away, she walked to the small courtyard where Jing Lan was.

Huh?

When Liu Xi walked halfway, she found several blacksmith masters who had been resting and hurried to the Casting Platform. She felt strange, so she stopped one of them and asked a few words.

It's okay not to ask, but when she asked, her expression changed suddenly.

Such a big matter, this girl wants to carry it alone!

Don't even think about it!

Liu Xi came to the small courtyard where Jing Lan was with her knife in hand. When Jing Lan was nowhere to be seen, she quickly thought of another place—Sansheng Pavilion.

Without a moment's hesitation, Liu Xi rushed to the outside of the Three Provinces Pavilion.

"Dong dong." She knocked on the door.

"What's the matter?" Jing Lan was thinking about how to ambush with various firearms, so she asked casually.

Liu Xi didn't answer, but knocked on the door twice more.

Looking at the whole Haicheng, the only one who does not follow the rules is Liuxi, that troublesome woman.

Jing Lan quickly guessed who was knocking on the door, she prevaricated: "Liu Xi, can you go back and rest?"

"Just say, can you open the door?" Liu Xi asked coldly.

"If I don't..."

"Snapped!"

Before Jing Lan finished speaking, Liu Xi slashed open the door.

Under the shocked eyes of the two maids outside the door, Liu Xi stepped into the pavilion holding Jingyue back, raised her face, and met Shang Jinglan's equally shocked eyes, "This is not for you to say no to!"

"You... are getting more and more unruly!" Jing Lan raised her hand and waved to the maid to back off.

Looking at the situation, the servant girl is afraid that the young lady is going to argue with the young master again.

It's better to hurry up and invite Aunt Hong to come!

The maids put on their skirts and ran quickly, and soon disappeared.

"What do you want?" Liu Xi had something to say in his words. While putting away his knife, he approached the book case, lowered his head and caught a glimpse of Jing Lan's handwriting before he could cover it, and said coldly: "Seeing is believing, you will definitely lose if you talk on paper." .”

Jing Lan knew that she couldn't talk to Liu Xi, "What do you think?"

Liu Xi took a look in the pavilion, caught a glimpse of a long sword hanging on the wall, picked it up with the scabbard, took it off, and threw it towards Jing Lan, "Follow me!"

Jing Lan caught the long sword, "Where are you going?"

"Hurry up, and you can reach Longling in half a day." As he spoke, Liu Xi raised his eyebrows, "You have this local map, and my third sister also has it. Anything you can think of, she must be able to think of it too." After a slight pause, Liu Xi reminded word by word, "People from the Liu family in Xishan, even if they are just a little girl, can kill people if they are ruthless."

Jing Lan has personally experienced this sentence in her previous life.

"I'll go, you stay..."

"If you treat me like a sick cat again, believe it or not, I will bite you again?!"

Liu Xi grabbed her skirt and wrinkled her nose.

Jing Lan's heart trembled suddenly, it was obvious that Liu Xi was talking about biting, but what came to mind was Liu Xi's fierce kiss on her lips that sunset.

The base of her ear suddenly burned, Jing Lan hurriedly turned her face away, "Let go, why don't I listen to you?"

"It's not enough to just listen, you have to obey me." Liu Xi suppressed a smile, let go of her fingers, but took advantage of the situation to brush Jing Lan's slightly wrinkled skirt, and sighed, "It seems that I still have to teach you a lot. thing."

"Some things I don't want to learn!" Jing Lan hurriedly explained.

The corner of Liu Xi's mouth twitched, "For example?"
