Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

On the third day, Chu Xinle finally gave an answer.

He agreed to form an alliance with Xue Man.

Xue Man can come and go in and out of Fengtian at will, but he and Chu Xinle have not spoken a few words, all the words are about how to lead the army to fight, how to arrange troops, other than that, they keep silent.

On Jiuyuan's side, according to Xing Yanhong, after they changed their tactics, Huth couldn't attack at all, but Xing Yanhong couldn't get out either, so the two sides have been exhausted. It's strange, Chu Xinle unconsciously thought of Shi Zhenming, the Shi family in Runan is a master at making poison, so this poisonous mist is inseparable from Shi Zhenming, if this is the case, those ships and wild wolves should be related to Shi Zhenming Zhen Ming related.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinle felt that he couldn't get it right. If that was the case, then he should be able to find out something in Runan, except for the extra money from the Hou family...

correct.

It was as if a taut rope had snapped in his mind.

Where did the money of the Hou family come from?

***

There is no sun today. Although it is much warmer, the ice on the branches has not completely melted.

Chenfan doesn't like to wear those thick clothes, they find them heavy, so before the weather gets warmer, he dresses lightly, and only wears an outer shirt when practicing swords. Huo Gang grabs some fish food and teases the fish beside him. He Pingan watched from the sidelines, they seemed to be back to the original point after going around, but after thinking about it, they were actually far away from the original point.

Ping An stayed on the mountain since he was a child, and he had never seen such a close-up gun and sword dancer. He watched with relish, and there was a pile of sugared tangerines in front of his crossed legs, and all the peeled orange peels were piled up in front of Huo Wu.

Another orange peel flew past his eyes.

"..." Huo Wu couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the peeled orange in Ping'an's hand, and was about to be furious: "You—"

"Want to eat? Why don't you tell me earlier, I'll peel it for you." Seeing that he snatched the orange in his hand, Ping An didn't feel annoyed. He grabbed another orange and threw the skin in front of Huo Wu. Huo Wu stuffed the Tangerine Tangerine into Huo Wu, and kept nagging: "Try it quickly, you are ashamed to mess with me, but Tianle, eat it quickly." Putting one in Huo Wu's hand, seeing that the oranges in his hand were about to pile up into a mountain, and he didn't seem to move his mouth, he asked again: "Why are you so cautious? What do you eat? The name is cute and cute, what are you doing?" So boring."

Huo Wu's chest was filled with anger. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Huo Gang yelled: "Why are you throwing another pile of orange peels? You'll get blisters from eating so much!"

Pingan immediately grabbed an orange and put it in Huo Wu's mouth, stood up again, wiped the orange juice stained on his hands on his pants, stretched out his finger to Huo Wu, and said, "Master, Huo Wu is eating, do you think it's spicy?" There are a lot of orange peels in his place, and he's going to have blisters on his mouth!"

Huo Wu, whose mouth was full of oranges at the moment: "..."

It's not over yet, only Chenfan sneezes loudly.

Huo Gang just let Ping An and Huo Wu go, took his coat and walked forward to put it on the world, muttering earnestly: "I said that I can't wear single clothes this day, you are very bachelor, wear more clothes It’s not like getting a cold.”

Chen Fan gathered his clothes, sniffed his nose, and said, "How can Master say it so seriously, it's nothing more than an itchy nose when you catch a cold."

"If you wear a lot of clothes, your nose won't itch." Huo Gang sighed, and said helplessly, "You just have too many excuses."

Chenfan fastened his clothes and said excitedly: "I have practiced the new sword technique Master taught me yesterday, look!"

Huo Gang retreated not far away, watching Chen Fan dance with his sword, he danced the sword technique he just learned yesterday very well, soft but strong, and his movements were quick, Huo Gang felt that it was even better than his own practice.

The sun emerged from the dark clouds, and when the warm wind blew, the icicles on the branches melted, and the fluttering corners of Chen Fan's clothes looked like a pair of flying wings in the wind. It was a young and flamboyant boy, and it was Huo Gang. A completely different side.

Compared with Chu Xinle, Chen Fan is more like his apprentice. Due to physical reasons, Le Er can no longer practice new sword techniques, but Chen Fan is different, he is studious and intelligent, and his determination to learn as long as he wants is very young Huo Gang at that time.

After a set of practice, Chen Fan stood the sword behind him, and when the sun shone down when he turned his head, he smiled and asked Huo Gang proudly: "Master, how is it?"

Huo Gang looked at the young man's straight back, a little dazed.

Seeing this, Chen Fan asked again: "Master, what's wrong? Master?"

Huo Gang waved his hand, he wanted to go over and pat Chenfan on the shoulder, touch his head, but the sun was too dazzling, Huo Gang was too timid to take this step at all, Chenfan was standing not far from him However, Huo Gang found that the distance between the two of them was getting bigger and bigger. After all, he couldn't walk through it, and he couldn't stand side by side with the world.

"Practice, do it again, do it again." Huo Gang's smile was a bit bitter, but the sun was too glaring, and the world couldn't see clearly.

After all, the practice was not finished this time, so Chen Fan was called over by Chu Xinle.

Then Huo Gang remembered Ping An, Huo Wu and their orange peels.

***

"When I went to Zhahou's house, do you still remember those coins?" Chu Xinle asked.

Chen Fan nodded: "But at that time we only found out a small part of the money, where the rest is hidden, Hou Yingnan has no way of knowing after his death."

Chu Xinle crossed his hands on his lap. He is afraid of the cold. Xing Qingzhang's acupuncture methods have been effective for him these days, but his fear of the cold has not changed. His words are calm and cold: "Then if the money is not here now In Shi Zhenming's hands, it is very likely that it is no longer in the Central Plains."

Chen Fan was a little surprised, his eyes widened, then he frowned, and said in a low voice, "Master, does it mean that Shi Zhenming is not that wild wolf from the Central Plains?"

After all, only the Shi family can do such things as poisonous mist, and if it appeared in the hands of Hu Te, it could prove that Shi Zhenming had already colluded with the enemy.

"He has already colluded with the enemy, but it should be these days." Chu Xinle thought: "If he had contacts with the barbarians, we would definitely find some clues when we were in Runan, but we couldn't find anything. , and even though he is in the same camp as Hou Yingnan, he seems to be played around by Hou Yingnan, and he doesn't know where the money comes from, so the person who had an affair with Hou Yingnan must not be him."

"In other words, this person is the Central Plains Wild Wolf, as long as we find him..." Chen Fan clenched his hands.

Chu Xinle nodded, and said softly, "As long as we can find out this wild wolf that is rooted in the Central Plains, we can uproot it."

"It's not good!!!" Someone yelled outside and ran in. His body was full of gunpowder smoke, his face was scorched, and he couldn't speak well: "Huo, Master Huo and Master Yun have already rushed over, Master Huo Call me to inform the adults."

Chu Xinle got up immediately, and rushed to the city gate together with Chen Fan.

The people in the city are already panicking, they are running around, the disaster that destroyed the city ten years ago is still in front of them, when a whole family of Xunjia struggled to stop them, they fought with the barbarians, and lost both. Today, with only a small city lord, The people in the city couldn't believe it at all.

I heard from Xing Yanhong that this Huth never fights unprepared battles, and never confronts enemies he has never faced before, but today he suddenly attacked Fengtian? !

Before Chu Xinle could figure it out, she was already confronted with a rain of arrows, and the battle started without warning.

The sun in the sky was obscured by heavy cumulus clouds, and this not-so-stable fortress was subjected to Huth's brutal attack for the first time.

The reflex machine and the catapult are of little use to Huth. Huth attacked Jiuyuan several times and was blocked by these two things. He racked his brains to find a way to resist this thing, that is, call out A wave of soldiers builds an iron wall that can compete with it!

They changed their light and light clothes from the past and put on hard armor. Although their movement speed has slowed down, they are not afraid of long arrows for siege.

Fengtian's garrison also put on armor, long arrows can resist, but big stones can't, the rain of arrows all over the sky is replaced by stones, and the loud sound hits the surroundings to illuminate the torches.

The sky is getting more and more cloudy, rumbling——

Menlei exploded close to the scalp, the battle was too sudden, no one had time to light the beacon, the whole Fengtian was surrounded, Chu Xinle and the others were like drifting islands, no reinforcements came at all!

The heavy rain was pouring, the torches were extinguished, the surroundings became dark, and the stones that kept coming from outside the city stopped. Huo Gang and others hid in the corner and drenched in the rain. He shouted: "Where are the sentinels? It's down there! Why haven't they moved at all!"

"I didn't see anyone," the trembling garrison pressed against the wall, his legs trembling in fright, but he still replied truthfully, "No one came back at all."

Yun Jiming also respected Huo Gang very much, seeing this, he said: "It seems that Hu Te is ready to take down Fengtian in one fell swoop, and he must light the beacon tower immediately after the rain stops. Only Qinchuan, Jiuyuan, Langya Only Yandu and Yan can get the news! Must be fast! Otherwise—”

Yun Jiming suddenly stopped, and there was only the sound of heavy breathing around him. Everyone looked at him, but Chu Xinle, who was on the outermost side, suddenly said: "The poisonous smoke in their hands..."

This heavy rain not only gave Fengtian and Chu Xinle an opportunity, but also a challenge.

Chu Xinle hasn't figured out a way to deal with the poisonous smoke yet, and because of the heavy rain, the poisonous smoke can't be ignited at all, but the beacon tower can't be lit at all. Even if the beacon tower can be lit when the rain stops, Chu Xinle can't There is no guarantee that Xing Yanhong and the others will be able to come before the poisonous smoke drifts over, this method will not work at all!

"Sentries must be sent to report, no one can catch up with the speed of the wind." Chu Xinle said.

"But the barbarians are really cunning. They surrounded all four gates of Fengtian! It is impossible for anyone to get out alive!" Fengtian's garrison obviously saw this kind of formation for the first time, and their voices were choked up.

Huo Gang thought of something, and asked again: "How much food and grass are left in the city?"

The garrison thought about it: "Most of it is given to Jiuyuan. If we need it urgently, we can only last for three days."

"Enough," Chu Xinle pulled out the yellow from his waist. Although his expression was calm, his furrowed brows still showed the tension of the situation they were in. ...Now what we are fighting for is not food and grass, but heaven."

He clenched the lead tightly, his body was already soaked, Chu Xinle took off the cloak on his body, and dressed in a red dress in the already dark night to flaunt unrestrainedly, the light of the sharp blade shot into his upturned eyes, Sparrow Ying poked a fluffy little head out of his arms.

The drums of the cavalry outside the city are beating, thump, thump, thump——

The battle has begun.

"If you want to keep Fengtian, you will kill Huth before the rain stops."
