Chapter 548: General's Mansion Discusses and Resolves Problems (1)
The two came to Xuanying's general's mansion, and Xuanying happened to be there and was not out on business.
Xuanying's Pine and Bamboo Garden and the General's Mansion are not the same place. The Pine and Bamboo Garden was built by Zhao Xiantong after the city lord Jin Huapeng gave Xuanying a piece of land. It was Xuanying's private residence. Except for a few people close to him and a dozen followers, ordinary people were not allowed to go there. The General's Mansion was where he worked, and many more people knew about it.
After Jin Dao Hei Jian handed over the responsibility of commanding the Jinyang City garrison to him, he discussed matters with Jin Wei and Yin Wei in the General's Mansion.
Jin Li'er is the head of the Jing'an Hall, but she is also the master of the Yunying Hall. She has many capable people under her. To put it bluntly, Jiang Gupu, one of the Jinwei of Jinyang City, is a member of her Yunying Hall.
Furthermore, Xuanying was grateful for her sincerity towards him, so he did not avoid Jin Lier on matters that should have been discussed between him, Xuanying and the Jindao Sect, and he even took the initiative to invite her over to discuss them together.
Over time, there was no need for Xuanying to invite Jin Lier, and she would go directly to the general's mansion when she encountered important military matters.
At first, Zhao Xiantong and Qi Changshu, the two Jinweis, firmly opposed Jin Lier's intervention in the military affairs of Jinyang City. They said it twice in front of Xuanying but were ignored. The two went to the master to find the golden knife and black sword, but the master no longer cared about these things and only said to listen to your eighteenth junior brother, he is the only general of Jinyang City.
In the past four or five months, the figure of Golden Sword and Black Sword has been missing. It is said that he is in seclusion to study martial arts. Zhao and Qi had no choice but to obey Xuanying's arrangements and dared not have any dissenting thoughts. Although he is the eighteenth junior brother, who told him that he is the sword disciple of the master? Who told him that his ability is far inferior to his?
Chu Xiaomu had learned all these things after being a Jinwei for a few days. At this moment, he suddenly thought about why Jin Dao Hei Jian gave Xuan Ying the responsibility of managing the Jinyang City garrison, and why he had not shown up during this period of time. Could he be the masked man who attacked the general? !
The reason why he was given the power to Xuanying was because he wanted to spend his time on how to collude with the Claw Clan of Chisha Country, how to deal with General Biye, and how to get the "thing" from the general. He couldn't be found in the past two months because he was seriously injured by the general's Dragon Soul Sword and was now hiding in a dark place to heal his wounds!
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high, and his heart began to beat. However, these were just speculations, and he had no real evidence, so he couldn't mention it to Jin Li'er, Xuan Ying and others, otherwise it would make the situation in Jinyang City more complicated and even cause chaos.
When Xuanying saw Jin Li'er and Chu Xiaomu enter the reception room of the general's mansion, he hurriedly stood up to greet them.
Jin Lier smiled and said, "General Xuan, it seems that you are in a good mood today."
Xuanying frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Jin Lier said, "When I came to discuss things with you before, you never stood up to greet me. But today you stood up to greet me, so I guess you are in a good mood today."
Xuanying did not respond directly to her, and said: "The Red Army attacked Jieyun Pass twice in three days. The border is in danger. I am not in the mood to joke with you!"
Jin Lier also felt that it was inappropriate to joke at this time, so she put away her smile and asked, "Did you receive the military report as well?"
"good."
"What is General Xuan's plan?"
"Let's talk about it after everyone arrives."
Jin Lier had no choice but to stop talking and sat in a chair opposite Xuan Ying and waited patiently.
Xuanying suddenly asked, "Isn't Changlun with you?" Changlun's job is to stay by Jin Li'er's side and take care of her safety. Whenever Jin Li'er goes out, she usually takes him with her. Xuanying saw Jin Li'er wearing a short dress and knew that she had just returned from going out, but Changlun was not with her, so he asked this question.
Jin Lier said, "Not long ago, Master Chang was injured by a mysterious master. He was seriously injured and will probably need a few days to recover. So I asked Lin Jinwei to go with me. It just so happens that this is also a chance to recruit soldiers for his own Qingyu Army, so he is the most suitable person to go."
Xuanying nodded and stopped asking.
It turned out that on that day Chu Xiaomu was taken to meet Xuanying, and on the way he met Chang Lun making trouble. Suddenly a masked mysterious master rushed out from behind the carriage. Based on the man's force energy, Chu Xiaomu guessed that it should be Zhou Tenghu. It seemed that this must be Xuanying's backup plan.
Zhou Tenghu's Force martial arts were not as good as Chang Lun's, but when Chu Xiaomu passed by them, he sent a heavy earth-type spiritual power towards Chang Lun. Chang Lun's punches and kicks immediately became extremely sluggish, and Zhou Tenghu took advantage of this and suddenly used his fists and palms to beat him severely, causing him to spit blood.
Chang Lun has been lying in bed recuperating for more than 20 days, wasting a lot of Jin Lier's precious medicinal materials.
Chu Xiaomu thought that it was not heroic to attack from the dark, but when he thought of the tragic scene of Huai Xiaomeng being seriously injured and vomiting blood, talking nonsense and finally dying, he hated Chang Lun so much that he regretted not getting out of the car and killing him with a palm.
However, killing Chang Lun was something he had to do when he came to Jinyang City, so there was no need to rush.
After waiting for half an hour, Zhao Xiantong, Qi Changshu, Zhang Qianyuan, Sun Zicao and Huang Wubaoguan had all arrived.
These people entered the reception room of General Xuanying's mansion one after another, but he did not stand up to greet them. Even when Huang Wubaoguan came in, he just nodded and called him "Second Brother".
Zhang Qianyuan went straight to the point and said, "My lady, General Xuan, you suddenly called all these people here. Could it be that something big happened in Jieyun Pass?" He looked at Jin Li'er, Xuan Ying, Sun Zicao and the others one by one. Even Zhao Xiantong and Qi Changshu, who were almost his enemies, glanced at them. However, he did not even look at Chu Xiaomu, the Jin Wei who used the pseudonym Lin Yuan.
Chu Xiaomu didn't take it seriously, thinking to himself, I became the Jinwei just to meet Xuanying, it doesn't matter whether you look down on me or not.
Jin Lier then told everyone about the military report that Jiang Gupu had sent to them an hour ago. Finally, she said, "The strength of the Red Army is unprecedented. It is only a matter of time before they break through Jieyun Pass. You must discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible, otherwise Jinyang City will end up like Bicheng."
Everyone was silent for a moment and no one spoke.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Xiantong said, "It is said that the Red Soldiers invaded Green City to steal the Dark Abyss Cauldron. They stationed troops outside Jieyun Pass three months ago because they heard that the cauldron was in our Jinyang City. But we don't have the Dark Abyss Cauldron in Jinyang City. In my opinion, we can write a letter and send an envoy to tell them the truth. The Red Soldiers are also human beings, not completely unreasonable evil spirits. This method may work."
As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused strong opposition from Zhang Qianyuan, Sun Zicao and others. Even Qi Changshu said that this method was absolutely not feasible and the people of Chisha Kingdom were not so easy to reason with.
