Chapter 229 Li Wei
Beifeng government office is majestic, like a small fortress standing in the center of Beifeng city.
The name is Fuya, but it is actually a military camp.
The tall courtyard walls are like a city within a city. The Habayashi guards on duty outside the gate are tall and mighty, and the teams of soldiers on Chengmen Street are closely dispatched.
Everything looked solemn and solemn, but this solemnity was quickly broken by a voice.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"
A soldier wearing the military uniform of a messenger came from the end of the street on a snow wildebeest, galloping fast, attracting the attention of the army on the street and the guards on duty outside the gate of the mansion.
It is considered a violation of military regulations to drive horses so fast in the city under such heavy snow.
But the orderly didn't take this into consideration at all.
When he came to the main gate of the government office, he got off his horse and shouted loudly:
"Open the door! Hurry up! There is an urgent military situation that needs to be notified to His Highness Wu Yuan! Open the door quickly!"
“.”
Habayashi's personal guard on duty looked at the other party's anxious expression and was not moved at all:
"Token."
There is a large amount of military supplies stored in the government office, and it is useless to worry. If spies sneak in, these supplies will be lost, and the consequences will be disastrous.
The orderly gritted his teeth, hurriedly took out a token from his pocket and threw it to the guard:
"Here you go, hurry up!"
“.”
Habayashi's personal guard quickly and carefully checked the token thrown by the other party, and waved to open the door.
Before he returned the token, the messenger had rushed into the government office in a flash.
Behind the gate of the mansion is a spacious stone road. The snow on the road was swept to the sides and piled up. The messengers ran all the way north, crossing the courtyard walls, and finally saw a huge snow-covered school ground.
And under the cover of Blizzard,
A huge meeting hall stands indistinctly at the end of the school yard.
And the orderly was dumbfounded,
He could vaguely hear some fierce questioning voices coming from the meeting hall.
Question to His Royal Highness Wu Yuan.
"It will take at least one day for the barbarians to completely encircle Beicheng. Why did His Highness seal Beicheng?"
"The barbarians are about to encircle. This is the last chance to deliver supplies to the friendly forces in Houting County. Why don't you let me go out of the city to deliver supplies?!"
"If the city is completely surrounded and the supply lines are cut off, what should the 300,000 troops in Houting County do?"
"The granary in Houting County was destroyed in the previous war, and the newly built storage of grain and grass can last up to one month!"
“.”
Compared with the wind and snow outside, the lobby was noisy.
On one side was the excited general wearing frontier armor, and on the other was the Habayashi Army general who lowered his eyes and said nothing.
And in the midst of this noise,
No one noticed that none of the third-party Black Scale Army came.
Of course, they don't have to come.
Because this is not the second military meeting called by Li Qingyan, but a simple coercion.
Ridiculous to say,
An hour ago, these talents expressed their loyalty at the first military meeting and would obey all orders of Wu Yuan.
And an hour later, these people came to make trouble in the meeting hall.
Because they discovered that Li Qingyan had sealed all the city gates.
Activate the formation seal.
Regardless of the monster frame or the high-level cultivator, they were all blocked in the city.
Unless they dare to walk through the blasted south city gate, they won't be able to get out at all.
This made them anxious.
So we directly gathered here to discuss the explanation.
"Your Highness."
On the side of the frontier army, a middle-aged man who had been silent for a while suddenly sighed.
The man is wearing the armor of the commander of the army, and the source of energy around him proves his cultivation of the second grade of Yuanchu.
And with his sigh,
The lobby, which was still noisy just now, fell silent at a strange speed.
Obviously, this person is the one who talked about this "forced palace".
The man with the goatee looked at the woman in the hall and said flatly:
"If you can't give a specific reason, the North Gate can only be opened by our Northern Frontier Army."
“.”
When General Habayashi on the other side heard this, quite a few people seemed to want to yell, but they all held back and looked at the heroic woman in the hall with a red background and gold-rimmed dragon armor.
The eyes converged, and there was a few breaths of silence.
"Do it yourself?"
The hoarse and deep female voice finally sounded softly, echoing in the empty lobby.
"Commander Qi, what do you plan to do? Use your Zhenhua Army to attack the city from the inside?"
Commander Qi's face sank when he heard the words, and he cupped his hands, refusing to give in:
"How dare the last general do such a rebellious thing. Now that the enemy is outside, we still need to connect with each other. I just want to ask His Highness for a reason to seal the city."
Li Qingyan nodded, no joy or anger could be seen on his beautiful face:
"Okay, since Commander Qi wants a reason, then I will give you a reason."
said,
Li Qingyan stood up, walked down the steps slowly, and said softly:
"It is true that the barbarians have not yet besieged the city, but the barbarian wolf riders are already cruising outside the city. Do you want to transport these supplies through the three hundred miles of snow forest with those wolf riders around?"
“.” Silence.
Seeing that no one answered, Li Qingyan chuckled and continued softly:
"It seems that you also know this, but since you know, why insist on transporting grain out of the city?
"Is it because of the way of hospitality? They traveled thousands of miles to detour to attack the city, and the vehicles and horses were exhausted, so they wanted to reward those barbarians with this?"
The hall was dead silent.
After a group of border army generals looked at each other for a few moments, a man wearing a school captain's armor came out, cupped his hands, spoke righteously, and respectfully replied:
"What Your Highness said is very true. The ground supply line is no longer safe, but why can't high-level cultivators and flying monsters be allowed out of the city? The probability of them being intercepted is very low."
Li Qingyan glanced at the speaker:
"I remember your name is Nie Yu?"
The lieutenant who came out smiled slightly, and there was a clicking sound between the friction of the armor:
"Your Highness remembers the last general's name, and the latter is terrified."
Li Qingyan turned around and walked two meters in front of the man, and casually threw the file in his hand at the man's feet:
"Lieutenant Nie, pick it up and have a look.
"Then, explain to me why there are relatives of your Nie family's wife and children on the flying monsters that transport military supplies? Why are there a lot of property on those flying monsters? Why are there two fourth-rank body guards!"
"." Captain Nie.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, Li Qingyan glanced at the group of generals called the court frontier army, who were actually the sect's private army, with a cold gaze:
"Forget Zhou Xiaowei, Chang Xiaowei, and Liu Xiaowei. There are too many people and I won't call them one by one. You can choose a representative to explain to Bengong."
Captain Nie didn't blush after hearing this, but just clasped his fists and said:
"Your Highness, the last general of Dayan Bian can set an example by letting his wife and children stay, but those guards are all my retainers, and the escorts are all distinguished guests from the northern sect."
"Guests from the sect? It seems that they are all cultivators."
Li Qingyan's words were clear: "Since you are a cultivator, let me leave the city to defend the city now."
Lieutenant Nie frowned, and said in an emphatic tone:
"Your Highness, they are not soldiers of the imperial court, and they are all the children of the suzerain, with honorable status. If there is another mistake, I am afraid that you, Your Highness."
Boom!
A ray of energy descended directly from the sky, running through the entire lobby, and Nie Xiaowei was directly crushed into a meat paste from top to bottom.
The smell of blood instantly spread in the silent lobby.
Li Qingyan looked around, and the cold air was overflowing in his phoenix eyes:
"I am not a soldier, the people of Dayan have the mission of fighting for the country!
"Also, don't think that I don't know that the Sumeru ring with supplies in your hands has been sent to Houting County through those high-level cultivators who sent the message.
"Put away your little thoughts, whoever dares to speak out about this matter will be dealt with by military law."
Say it,
Li Qingyan's eyes fell on Commander Qi who was the leader.
Commander Qi raised his eyes slightly, and he felt that the big array in the sky had locked him.
However, he still didn't speak immediately, and calmly looked at the princess who was about to reveal her killing intent.
Now the Zongmen is full of elites, and almost all the high-ranking generals are in Houting County. He is the only speaker in Beifeng City. If he dies, the 100,000 troops of the Zongmen will become a mess without any organization.
At that time, everyone will have their own ghosts, and no one will coordinate. It will be very difficult for the princess to schedule.
Moreover, the consequences of killing a second-rank Yuanchu commander are not comparable to killing a captain.
Want to gamble?
Bet that this crazy woman would not dare to kill him, bet that this woman would not dare to start a fight at this juncture.
Between the gazes of the two primeval powerhouses, the atmosphere was so oppressive that water could condense.
But in the end, Commander Qi lowered his head and said in a deep voice:
"Your Highness. What you said is very true. Everything is under His Highness's arrangement."
Under the current situation, Wu Yuan, a crazy woman, would definitely dare to kill him.
The life and death of the children of those high-level sects is very important. If these people die in Beifeng City, there is a high probability that he will be held accountable.
But he will still choose whether it is more important to pursue responsibility or die directly in this lobby.
There was no other sound, only the footsteps of the frontier generals returning in vain echoed in the entire hall.
And that pile of Lieutenant Nie was taken away by an old friend of his.
Li Qingyan was about to dismiss all the generals under his direct line and set up defenses, when he saw a hurried figure running into the hall against the frontier generals:
"Your Highness, Your Highness! The Black Scale Army and the Black Scale Army forced their way out of the city from the south gate and attacked the barbarian camp!"
"." Li Qingyan's eyes darkened.
