Chapter 57 Bloody Twilight
In the city gate tower, the voice of the secret detective commander was not slow or anxious, and it seemed that he had long thought about the dangers he was facing.

"...The terrain around the royal city is flat, which is most conducive to the decisive battle of the cavalry. If all places come to serve the king, there is a danger of being besieged by the Xia army and being defeated one by one. They should be sent to the city immediately and stand by... The four symbols of the Taoist sect, the eastern Wu, western Qin, northern Yan and southern Xia, and the vassal states, occupied seven or eight out of ten lands in China, and had the momentum to unify the world. Before the conquest, they must have passed the Qi with Tao. The sneak attack on Baisha City was to cut off the retreat of Zeng and Zhou Erguo.
"So, we should not be lucky and hope to mediate the Taoist sect... Since we can't beat it, we should not fight head-on. This is not a cowardly retreat, but a wise choice. We just need to be united and firmly guard the Baisha City, and wait for the Tianshi Master to return from the clouds..."
Zhang Muzhi paused, glanced at his colleagues left and right, knew what they were thinking, and decided to track the railway:
"Baisha City began to disperse migrants from the year before yesterday, and started to store grain last year to repair the Divine Dragon Formation. The reason for planning ahead is that... the Heavenly Master had long anticipated today's battle and said it was not worth worrying."
Buzz...
A keen discussion suddenly sounded in the building, and everyone showed joy and swept away the haze.
Who has the closest relationship with the Heavenly Master? In addition to the Queen, it is Zhang Muzhi, the sworn brother of King Tianqi. What he said is naturally credible.
Guo Chunhai coughed twice, and when the sound calmed down, he stood up and said:
"The old minister believes that the most urgent task is to establish a military cabinet and take all powers. In order to avoid mutual restraint by various departments and inefficiency. The whole city is martial law, searching for infiltrating spies, controlling materials, cracking down on evil deeds such as disrupting market public order, spreading rumors, and raising money from national disasters. Organizing the people to help after defending the city. Sent all over the country to seize early rice, evacuate the population, and all troops are on guard..."
Everyone started to discuss it lively and quickly formed various resolutions, which were much faster than usual court meetings. The noisy crane cries came in, just as the sound of birds on the branches.
Queen Jianming looked at it with relief, but her thoughts floated to another place.
Two years ago, Tianyou did predict that Xia Congregation would attack Zhou State this year. He said that once the war started, the Xiaoshui Sword Sect would inevitably be involved and Shumin must be recalled urgently. However, he did not expect that the Xia army would sneak attack Baisha City as Zhang Muzhi said. Will Shumin be summoned and the Chinese cultivators be recalled? This place will soon become the Shura battlefield, and it seems that it is safer for them to stay in Xiaoshan.
As a mother, why can’t you know your daughter’s thoughts?
In the past, Shumin liked to make a spell on a young lady's poem about Tianyou. As a result, it turned out to be a young lady. Would it be very uncomfortable? The taboo of not getting married in the same clan has evolved into not getting married within three servers in the past century. However, there are often cases of a concubine in the countryside to show that she is more kinship, and the wealth does not flow to outsiders' fields, and is often criticized by scholars and officials.
The royal marriage is generally a political marriage, and very few marriages with the same surname, and even if there are, there will be five servings. Shumin and Tianyou happen to have three servings, but they don’t have five servings, which is quite a headache. Tianyou stayed away from his aunt, and ran faster than a rabbit when he heard about family matters.
Alas, let them deal with the matters of their children...
A minister of the Ministry of Works shrank timidly and finally mustered up the courage to play:
"The construction of the Tianshi Mansion requisitioned 3,000 craftsmen, and the daily consumption was not a small amount. The Xia army besieged the city, and the situation was critical. I thought that work should be stopped immediately and the craftsmen and materials should be enriched to the front line of the city defense."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and the building immediately became quiet.
After a while, a rough voice scolded him loudly.
"Bold! The land, wages and materials are all paid out of their own pocket by the Tianshi. It did not consume a copper plate in the national treasury. Why should I stop it? Besides, the Tianshi told me to speed up the construction before traveling around. Who dares to stop it?"
The person who speaks is Han Feng, the dictionary of Baisha Mansion.
A little dictionary was not qualified to attend this high-level meeting and had been standing at the end without saying a word. But he still had an extraordinary identity, the chief of the Tianshi Mansion, and he was a well-known Tianshi confidant. Xin Tianyou once laughed and said, "If you have a little education, you will be the governor of Baisha Prefecture."
Han Feng was purified by his physique, nourished by the spirit stone, and entered the consecration realm. When he got angry, the aura of the immortal master suddenly burst out, which shocked the people around him to fall.
He knew that he had lost his etiquette, bowed and clasped his fists, and said:
"I was in a hurry and asked the king to sue him."
Queen Jianming smiled faintly and waved her hand:
"It's understandable, and I'm exempted from punishment. However, the construction of the Tianshi Mansion..."
She understood the proposal of the Minister of Works and knew the importance of the Tianshi Mansion to Xintianyou. On the surface, it was to build a mansion, but in fact it was to build an unprecedented strange formation. However, compared with the defense of Baisha City, she did not know which one is more important and which one is urgent or which one is slow.
"The construction of the Tianshi Mansion is temporarily suspended and handed over to Xiaoyaobo..."
After pondering for a while, I felt that Chinese was too unreliable, so I added another sentence.
"Leave it to Zhang Muzhi, Hua Wen and Han Feng for consultation and come up with handling opinions."
Zhang Muzhi received the order.
Han Feng stared blankly, speechless.
One of the other party is the commander of the Secret Investigation Department of the Powerful China Kingdom and the Uncle Yi of the Tianshi; the other is the chief designer of the Tianshi Mansion magic circle and the cousin of Xintian Jingang. He can't afford to offend anyone.
The rapid sound of horse hooves stopped from far to near, and they stopped downstairs.
An official from the Secret Investigation Department hurriedly climbed the tower, came to Zhang Muzhi's side, and whispered: "The spy from Zhuque Street urgently reported it."
Zhang Muzhi was about to turn around, and Queen Jianming said:
"Call that spy up."
After a while, the spy entered the building. When he saw the queen and a high-ranking official in the room, he was frightened and could not speak for a moment.
The queen smiled slightly and encouraged:
"Don't worry, just talk slowly... what did Chinese say?"
Half an hour ago, two earth-shaking explosions occurred on Zhuque Street. There was the waist of the "Dragon" and Hua Wen rushed to investigate.
The spy stuttered, carefully considering the words and said:
"Chinese... Xiaoyaobo... greeted the ancestors of the Xia people for the eighteen generations, especially the Xia people for the mother... and kept muttering, "My thunderbolt, my thunderbolt, my thunderbolt..."
The first half of the sentence makes people laugh. Everyone knows that Chinese is furious and jumps to curse her. The spy dares not repeat the dirty words in front of the queen.
If you can carefully savor the second half of the sentence, it makes people feel cold and straight.
Three years ago, the Chinese Kingdom was in the whirlpool of the royal party's competition. The royal family was weak and the Chinese, who was dedicated to studying formations, was crazy and secretly created a large number of thunderbolts and thunderbolts were sold to people in the martial arts world. However, they did not expect that most of them were bought by the spies of the Xia Kingdom, secretly accumulated a lot of small amounts and used to blow up their ancestors.
In theory, so many explosive magic objects entered the royal city, they should have been noticed by the Secret Detective Office. But who could guess that the source was the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion?
The Xia people chose the address three years ago, stored fried food, and began to plan today's battle! Who can match this far-sightedness in the world?
Zhang Muzhi asked in a deep voice:
"How is the damage to the Suzaku Street and the Dragon Array?"
The spy said:
"Two big pits appeared at the scene, and the buildings within a radius of 100 meters were razed to the ground. The water dragon team had put out the fire, and Baisha Mansion was rescuing the people buried in the ruins. Xiaoyaobo said that the waist of the dragon formation was blown up, and the soul of the dragon was difficult to condense. It would take at least three days to completely repair it."
When everyone heard this, their hearts were bleak.
After a while, Zhang Muzhi said that. He had the secrets and was a master of the Immortal of the Dynasty, and knew the best in the world of cultivation.
"The other city defense formations are fine, enough to resist the Xia army. The Divine Dragon Formation is not originally a counterfeit against mortals, but to intimidate the great monks. The Taoist sect strictly prohibits real people and saints from participating in secular wars. If you lend the King of Xia a courage, you will not dare to take the world's greatest consequences."
After hearing this, most people showed relief expressions on their faces.
A few people muttered in their hearts, "I won't come out in the open, but won't come in the secret?"
But they didn't know that the leader of the Secret Investigation Department did not explain the most critical points thoroughly to avoid people's hearts from turbulent.
The advantage of the Dragon Caval is that it is not good at siegeing the city. However, there is a human-shaped monster in the Xia army, which is far superior to ordinary real people. The dangerous passes are almost the same as paper-wrapped. If he loses the suppression of the Divine Dragon Array, this villain will do whatever he wants.
...
The sun approached the horizon bit by bit, rendering bloody clouds all over the sky.
Bang...bang...bang...bang...bang...
The war drums sounded.
Outside Xuanwu Gate, the Xia army arranged neatly square formations.
Woo... Woo... Woo...
The corners of the painting are shrill.
On the Xuanwu Gate Tower, Queen Jianming led all the ministers out.
After a while, the sound of drums and strokes rested. The world was terriblely quiet, and everyone looked at the sky.
A group of carrier pigeons soared from the city and flew in all directions.
To prevent accidents, this batch of pigeons was released in three batches, with a interval of half a minute each time. The first batch of thirty were thirty, the second batch of twenty were 20, and the last batch of ten were actually tied to the secret documents notifying all local and military forces.
But an accident happened anyway.
More than thirty pigeons flying out of the moat were swept by the large wings of the crane of Xia Kingdom. Before they could land, they turned into a ball of plasma and feathers flying.
The nine immortal cranes seemed to be a hell demon cutting through the sky, echoing from beginning to end, some drove away, some chased, and some blocked, sieging the huge Baisha City into an iron barrel.
The white wings were dyed red, sticking to the bloody residual flesh, and the eyes revealed a cruel red light. The tyrannical cry of "Yong'er, Yong'er" shocked the buzzing sound of the washe.
However, these cranes comparable to those of the elixir monks did not dare to cross the moat, as if there were horrible things that made them afraid of them.
The remaining twenty pigeons fled east and west, gradually gathered into groups, flying pitifully over the moat, hovering around the city.
The nine cranes were divided into three, and they formed a long line outside the moat and advanced together with the flock of pigeons, as if they were proudly escorting the prisoners.
The soldiers on the top of the city held their swords and guns tightly, and were silent as iron. The people in the city were led by anyone and roared.
Bluebird!
Bluebird, bluebird!
Bluebird, Bluebird, Bluebird...
If there is this, how could the thief crane dare to be so rampant?
In that year, the King of Xintian came to Baisha City for the first time, and the blue birds looked for their master thousands of miles away. It was majestic, like a Kunpeng spreading its wings, hitting water three thousand feet, and a chirping sounded and the earth shook the mountain. The cranes of Xiaoshan were so scared that they did not dare to meet each other, and they actually left behind the holy fetus of Zhou Wuyang and fled far away.
