Chapter 302, the number of five

In the sand city, Minghu Hall! Sudden Hall!

Minghu Hall is not just a lobby, but a big house, where the Suzaku Army is stationed in the sand city.

The sudden hall is 20 feet long and 10 feet wide. Except for the thick pillars around it, the middle is completely empty. It only relies on the vault to build the hall.

The layout of the sudden hall is very simple. In addition to the two rows of seats in the middle and a tiger-skin chair at the top, there are four big characters behind the tiger-skin chair: "Yi is like mountains and rivers!"

The empty Yi Hall is still empty at this time. Among the nearly 20 seats in the two rows, only a few chairs in front sit Liao and one person on the top tiger-skin chair.

The people sitting in the two rows of seats below are old and young, about 60 years old, but the young ones are only about 20 years old, but at this time they are all silently looking at the person sitting on top.

Sitting on the tiger leather chair above is a middle-aged man with a white face and a long beard and chest. At this time, his hands are placed on the armrest of the tiger leather chair, his head is slightly raised, and his eyes are slightly closed. I don't know what he is thinking about. The whole hall is quiet.

"Report..."

A sudden sound shattered the silence.

"Biography!"

The middle-aged man sitting in the tiger-skin chair whispered.

As soon as the middle-aged man's voice fell, a soldier of the Rosefinch Legion came in from the outside, bowed to the middle-aged man and shouted, "Capa, General Cao Yang led the army out of the city to attack last night and has not returned yet!"

"I haven't returned yet!" The middle-aged leader, the head of the Rosefinch Army, had not yet spoken, but the people sitting below had called out one after another.

"Is it known! I was ambushed!" An old man sitting on the left side of the road below stood up and wondered. Although he did not see with his own eyes the confusion when Cao Yang was besieged last night, with his rich experience, he accurately guessed what happened to Cao Yang and that team.

However, he did not guess that although Cao Yang was ambushed, the whole army was not destroyed, but was rescued.

"I haven't returned yet. It must be more bad luck!" This is a middle-aged general sitting on the right in armor and looked at him and said in a loud voice, "Cadmiral, the situation is critical. It's better to transfer the navy here to help guard the west gate."

"This won't work!" As soon as the middle-aged general finished speaking, the old man sitting at the top of the left has made a voice against it: "It is not only in Liusha City that there is a navy. The forbidden autumn navy is not weaker than us. When their army attacked the city, I don't believe that their army is still fighting. Maybe they have already entered the sea. At this time, they are near the sand waters. Wait for us to transfer the navy so that they can attack from the East Gate.

"Mr. Liao, what do you think we should do?" The middle-aged general stood up from his seat and muttered, "Grandma, the army that attacked the city in autumn this time is twice as many as in previous years, but the Rosefinch Army has deflected traitors like Zhong Zhi. Up to now, there are still soldiers, but they dare not put them into use."

"General Huang, don't worry!" Xiang Fang, who sat on the top, flashed a gloomy look on his face. After a little meditation, he shook his head gently and said, "It's not the last moment to discuss the matter of putting the navy into the war."

"However, Ximen's brothers can't stand it anymore. The imperial army attacked in two days, and the wall has collapsed a few places. If the brothers had not fought back desperately, they might have been attacked by the city by the imperial army!" The middle-aged general said hatefully, "Why don't you just transfer the second corps to the front line?"

"This is even worse!" As soon as the middle-aged general finished speaking, a middle-aged civilian sitting at the head of the old man just now has stopped him and said, "This is Zhong Zhi's own army. Who knows if there are people who are loyal to Zhong Zhi? If they accidentally put the enemy into the city, it will be a bigger disaster."

"Whish whether he has Zhong Zhi's cronies or not, just transfer them to cannon fodder!" The middle-aged general said viciously, "What else? This second army accounts for one-third of my rosefinch army. I forgot to tell you that the gate was almost broken by them yesterday. If we hadn't prepared for a rainy day and strengthened the gate early, we wouldn't have been able to withstand it yesterday.

"Is it that God is going to kill my rosefinch?" Mr. Liao sighed and looked at Xiang Fang and said, "If it really doesn't work, maybe he will transfer the second army to Ximen. Even if it's as cannon fodder, it's better than not using them, don't believe them, and send someone to look at them."

"It still doesn't work!" Xiang Fang pondered and said, "The people in the second army may not all be loyal to Zhong Zhi's cronies. Maybe some of them are loyal to the Rosefinch Army. Let's take a look at the situation first. General Huang, thank you and other brothers!"

"I am a member of the Rosefinch Army. Liusha City is our home. It is my duty to protect the family and kill the enemy!" General Huang patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, commander, even if he dies in battle, I won't let the Forbidden Autumn Army step into the quicksand City!"

Xiang Fang frowned, as if he was a little displeason with General Huang's words similar to the unlucky death in the battle, but he still nodded to General Huang, and then stood up and waved his hand and said, "Let's all go. Thank you for your hard work in this extraordinary period!"

"Thank you for your hard work, leader!" Everyone stood up and bowed to release.

After watching everyone leave the Juyi Hall, Xiang Fang turned around and walked to the back of the Sudden Hall.

After walking out of the door, General Huang slowed down. After Mr. Liao came to him, he put his hands on Mr. Liao's arm and whispered, "What do you think of Mr. Liao?"

"What can you think!" Mr. Liao sighed and said, "This is the most dangerous time in the history of our rosefinch army. It's the Phoenix nirvana. If you can't stand it, that is, the city will be destroyed and the rosefinch will no longer exist!"

"Sir, do you think we can survive this time?" General Huang said modestly.

"If there is nothing wrong with Zhong Zhi, there must be no problem. Now, it's only 50%!" Mr. Liao also said the truth: "However, the head of the regiment is very talented, and there may be any way to recover."

"If you want me to say, there is only one shortcoming, that is, soft-hearted!" General Huang said fiercely, "If I had transferred the second corps to the west wall!"

"We followed the regimental commander, isn't it because he is as righteous as a mountain and regards his subordinates as brothers and sisters!" Mr. Liao laughed and said, "Fortunately, this time, the regimental commander's martial arts skills have been promoted to the Jieyuan level. Those generals of Jinqiu are more or less a shock, otherwise the victory or defeat will not be five or five, but more enemies and less. As for now, no one can guess who wins or loses."

"Fortunately, the commander has been promoted! Otherwise, Zhong Zhi's sneak attack may be done!" General Huang let go of Mr. Liao's arm and bowed, "Listen to Mr.'s words, he suddenly opened his door and said goodbye to him. The last general is going to watch on the wall. Don't let those monkeys of Jingqiu get in."

Mr. Liao also bowed to General Huang. It was not until General Huang went far away that he straightened up. His eyes were slightly wet. At this time, he probably won't see each other again.

Turn the back wall of the Yi Hall and enter the small yard behind the Yi Hall.

If the righteousness hall is the front yard, this is the backyard, a square courtyard. Except for two ancient pines, there are only pine tables and stone stools in the yard, and there is nothing else. This style is completely consistent with the character of the martial artist. It is not elegant at all, but it has the simplicity and boldness of the martial artist.

As soon as Xiang Fang turned the back wall, a handsome teenager in a blue shirt greeted him and whispered, "Master!"

"Hmm!" Xiang Fang kept walking and walked quickly inside. At the same time, he whispered, "Do you have any news from your brother?"

The blue-shirted teenager's face darkened and shook his head and said, "I haven't heard from my brother yet." After saying this, the young man in green shirt looked up at Xiang Fang and said, "Brother Jiren Tianxiang, maybe he is on his way back to Liusha City at this time."

"I hope so!" Xiang Fang touched the head of the young man in blue and said lightly, "Master is about to close down. Help him guard the outside!"

"Yes!" The young man in blue said awe-inspiringly, "My disciple understands!" After a pause, he said, "Today, General Cao sent a letter to the master!"

General Cao! That General Cao?" Xiang Fang's face changed, and he suddenly grabbed the shoulder of the young man with a green shirt, and his tone was very anxious.

"General Cao Yang!" The green-shirted teenager felt strange that among the rosefinch army in Liusha City, there was only one general surnamed Cao Yang, and there was no general Cao there. In fact, the teenager did not know that General Cao Yang had led a team out of the city to attack the enemy last night and has not returned so far.

"Show me!" Xiang took a deep breath, calmed down, and said lightly to the young man in blue.

The young man took out a sealed letter from his arms and gave it to Xiang Fang.

Xiang Fang grabbed the letter at almost the same speed and opened it after seeing that the envelope was intact.

I don't know what he saw in the seal. His thick eyebrows suddenly unfolded, his eyes were bright, and a smile slowly appeared at the corners of his mouth. This is the first smile from Xiang Fang after Xiang Yuanfei's disappearance, Zhong Zhi's rebellion and the siege of the city.

"Cough..." The corners of his mouth just rose, but he suddenly coughed. With the sound of coughing, a trace of blood appeared from the corners of his mouth.

"Master..." The young man in blue cried in a shrill.

"It's okay!" Xiang Fang waved his hand and suddenly stared at the green-shirted teenager and said, "It's just a minor injury. It's okay if I adjust my breath, but you must never tell anyone else about this!"

"Yes, my disciple understands! If they know, it will disturb the hearts of the army!" The green-shirted teenager nodded with deep worry and hatred in his eyes: "But Zhong Zhi, an old thief, hurt the master?"

"As long as you know!" Xiang Fang looked at the young man in blue and said lightly, "Please look outside for me. No one can enter this courtyard without my order!"

"Disciples know!" The blue-shirted teenager said awe-inspiringly.

"Hmm!" Xiang Fang answered faintly and suddenly patted the head of the young man in blue and said, "Don't worry, the master knows it. It's just a minor injury. It doesn't matter."

"Disciples understand that no one else will enter here!" The young man in blue said firmly.
