When he saw Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng, Yao Ruoyu was also shocked, and then he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng were both freshmen before traveling through time. They were in the same dormitory as Li Yilin. The three of them were called Iron Triangle and were considered one of the rare combinations in the Literature and Art Department.

Fu Zan is calm and cautious in doing things. She likes to plan and then act. However, she will be panicked when encountering sudden things and her ability to respond slightly lacks on the spot.

Ren Jiasheng, who is as beautiful as a woman, is a signboard of the Literature and Art Department. He is a typical representative of young and handsome guys. He is gentle in nature. However, when he was in the department, he often performed sketches with Yao Ruoyu, and played the role of a slut, or simply became a woman. So over time, his temperament became a bit feminine.

After a reminiscing about the past, Yao Ruoyu finally learned about the experience of the two of them traveling through time.

After crossing the road, Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng appeared directly in the Iron Fort near Tongliang City.

Tongliang City is located south of Hezhou, which is also considered to be in Chongqing. The Iron Fort is a craftsman specializing in forging armor and making spiritual weapons. Its technical level is the top in Chongqing.

Shortly after the time travel, Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng were valued by Zhao Luyan, the lord of the Iron Fortress, and accepted them as registered disciples. After living for a while, Zhao Luyan was directly promoted to the true disciples.

Because Ren Jiasheng was not interested in forging, he inherited Zhao Luyan's spiritual skills and martial arts, while Fu Zan gave up spiritual skills and focused on practicing martial arts and forging.

Because Tongliang is very close to Hezhou, Yao Ruoyu and others occupied Hezhou City, they learned the news here and immediately rushed over to help. However, Fu Zan was cautious after all, and felt that just the two of them could not help much, so it would be better to bring more people over.

Of course, it was impossible for the people from Iron Fortress to take care of them, otherwise they would be involved in Iron Fortress. So after Fu Zan thought about it, he and Ren Jiasheng swept the bandits' nest near Iron Fortress.

The bandits on Tongliang are not as perverted as Hezhou and Wulong. The strongest bandit leader is the third level and one level. So under the background of the two and the Iron Fortress, nearly 400 bandits were forcibly incorporated by them. Then Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng took these bandits and crossed mountains and ridges to Hezhou City.

When they came, they happened to see the Fenghuo Camp soldiers split into two groups and attacking Diaoyu City. Because several bandits in the team had come to Hezhou City and knew that the Diaoyu City was on the mountain, Fu Zan thought briefly and formulated the previous plan to go up the mountain and lure the enemy from behind.

The strongest bandits they brought were the third realm, and the others were the first realm and second realm, so even if they fought with Fenghuo Camp head-on, even if only half of their enemy troops were only half of them, they would definitely be defeated.

However, if these people are lured into the mountains and forests, the bandits can maximize their advantage in being proficient in mountain and forest warfare.

However, after all, the Fenghuo Camp is a well-trained elite army. Although it forced a few points to increase its advantage by taking advantage of the terrain, more than half of the bandits were killed after this battle, leaving only more than one hundred people.

Finally, Yao Ruoyu formed more than a hundred bandits into a capital, and Fu Zan and Ren Jiasheng were the chief and deputy chiefs, and temporarily classified them under Li Yilin's command, which was in the Yanhu Camp.

In the next few days, the Literary and Art Army naturally vigorously rectified and prepared to face the next third attack from Yanggu Army.

Because of the extremely high city wall, Diaoyu City prepared all things to defend the city, such as crosswood, rolling stones, hot oil, etc. When Li Huo, Duan Li and others came, they also brought some crossbows, cannon trucks and other equipment. After they took over the city gate, they immediately loaded these on the top of the city.

In Hezhou City, Yao Ruoyu paid money from the inner palace and hired many migrant workers in the city. He dug more than ten gullies outside the city. The gullies spread horizontally, making the wasteland outside the city full of mess, looking like ruins.

At the same time, with Wu Xue's accidental reminder, Yao Ruoyu and others invested in hiring many people to speed up the creation of barbed wire mesh, deer racks and other things, and then collected many iron nails and buried them in more than ten gullies outside the city.

In fact, in this era, the city lord did not need to pay any reward for such things as corvee.

However, for Yao Ruoyu and others who have traveled from modern times, corvee service is simply incredible. Therefore, when he proposed to hire the people, not only Bai Qiuyu, Luo He and others were surprised. Yao Ruoyu and others, who knew that they did not need to be paid to do things, were also extremely shocked.

Subsequently, the paid corvee service spread throughout the city. At first, the people in the city actually did not believe it. After all, from ancient times to the present, even Yang Yiming's previous wise city lord never asked for compensation for the people's work. At most, they prepared some food, which made the people very grateful.

Although he said he did not believe this, because Yao Ruoyu and others arrived, they rescued the people from the water and fire one after another. Out of gratitude, everyone went to the application point set up by the City Lord's Mansion to register, and went out of the city to dig out the ravines under the guidance of soldiers.

However, when Yao Ruoyu brought the soldiers to pay the salary after the first day of labor, everyone was shocked because they did not expect that the paid corvee service mentioned in the city lord's mansion was actually true.

Subsequently, this news caused a sensation in the city, and all the people knew about paid corvee.

I was already grateful for what Yao Ruoyu and others did, and with the rewards, the number of people who signed up on the next day suddenly increased several times. Fortunately, Jiang Siyu, who was managing the city lord's house, knew that the funds were limited, so he immediately limited the number of people and stipulated requirements for the applicants, which avoided the expansion of momentum.

Even so, the reputation of the city lord's mansion led by Yao Ruoyu and others in the city expanded several times instantly. The people who were too young or dissatisfied with Yao Ruoyu and others attacked the Song army began to be grateful and respectful to them.

Just as paid corvee was in full swing in Hezhou City, a young man in a gray cloak slowly appeared at the gate of Diaoyu City on a red horse with a dull look.

Looking at the notice posted at the city gate, the young man couldn't help but squint the corner of his lips, and said to himself, "Purchase people's hearts", then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the soldiers and people coming and going in the city.

The cloak he was wearing seemed mysterious, but now the man muttered something in front of the notice seemed even more suspicious, so in just a moment, more than a dozen soldiers from the Dali tribe had slowly surrounded him and looked at him vigilantly.

Notice the approaching of the soldiers, the young man smiled disdainfully, but did not take action. He silently reached out and took off the hat of the cloak, revealing a handsome face with a tough facial features like a knife sculpture.

There was a little indifference between his eyebrows. The young man looked around and finally looked at the commander who was sitting in the city gate today.

"I'll inform the city lord..."

"School brother Song Kai, come and visit!"

*—*—*—*—*

Just when the young man who claimed to be Song Kai appeared at the city gate, Yao Ruoyu, Xu Xuanrong, Luo He, Duan Li and others gathered in the meeting hall of the city lord's mansion, discussing the information that the Lily Cult just passed on with a serious expression.

Touching the piece of paper containing information, Yao Ruoyu smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone, tell me what you think."

"What else can I think?" Li Huo stood up and said coldly, "Chu Kuangge went on the battle in person. Even if he did not take action due to the regulations that the eight realms were not allowed to take action at will, just standing there, he might be able to crush us in terms of momentum. What else can he fight? Run away quickly!"

After saying that, Li Huo looked at Duan Li, obviously asking the patriarch of the Dali clan to leave with him, or agreed, but did not expect that although Duan Li's expression was solemn, he did not respond and did not move to leave. He just sat in place and pondered without saying a word.

Seeing Li Huo's embarrassing expression, Yao Ruoyu smiled faintly and looked around the faces of everyone in the hall. Although everyone was full of solemn and worried, no one answered or answered.

Nodding with satisfaction, Yao Ruoyu looked at Li Huo with a smile. The latter's face became more and more pale, but he never turned around and left, and finally sat back in his seat.

The information conveyed by the Lily Sect this time was that after knowing that the five sons of the Chu family and Shi Min joined forces to attack but still failed, Chu Kuangge was furious and decided to lead the army to the expedition in person regardless of his identity as the eighth realm.

To be honest, when Yao Ruoyu just saw this information, he was also very scared. After all, no matter what, the eight realms are still too far away from them. Not to mention the eight realms, seven realms, and six realms are all terrible.

The reason why Yao Ruoyu claims to be able to compete with the Five Realms is that in addition to the Ice Sea Altar and the biggest reliance is Diaoyutai. After all, he definitely dares to use tricks in front of Chu Kuangge. With the Ice Sea Altar, he can reach the combat power of the Fourth Realm at most, but if the suppression power of Diaoyutai is added, he really has the strength to fight with the Five Realm.

But this is his limit. If he encounters the sixth realm, unless he uses all three trump cards, he will definitely not be able to stop any sixth realm. At most, he will resist one or two in front of the sixth realm. As long as he fights for a long time, he will definitely be defeated.

Even the sixth realm could not resist, let alone the eighth realm, so Yao Ruoyu was really scared to tremble all over at that time.

However, Yao Ruoyu soon returned to his calmness. As a powerful person in the eighth realm, Chu Kuangge naturally had his pride. If he condescends to deal with a group of three realms, it would be too embarrassing. Therefore, he believed that even if Chu Kuangge goes to war, he will at most be in the back and will never be able to take action himself.

Since Chu Kuangge will not take action, then the only ones who came from Yang Gujun would be other masters.

Chu Kuangyi, Chu Kuangmou, and Chu Kuangzheng should not take action either. The reason is like Chu Kuangge, who can use the cultivation level of the sixth level to deal with the three realms, and then the Yanggu army will become a joke among the various countries in China.

If you don’t come out of the six realms, you may only come to the five realms. Of course, you won’t come too many. At most, you will be able to win the sky if you have four or five people.

However, after the current literary and artistic army had two people in the fifth realm after fighting with the two tribes, Yao Ruoyu and Duan Chong, but if Xu Xuanrong uses immortal arts, he can also have the ability to compete with the fifth realm, so they really won't be too disadvantaged in the fifth realm.

The only thing to worry about at present is the strength of the middle-level generals. Yang Renjie, Fu Feng and others are all in the third realm. If several fourth realm come to the Yanggu Army, unless they rely on the Diaoyutai to suppress it, it will be difficult to confront the other side.

But Diaoyutai...will Chu Kuangge allow himself to use it?

The first time, Yao Ruoyu lost his confidence, but thinking about it is, his layout has always been a path that ordinary people cannot think of, but in this kind of head-on battle, he does not have much confidence.

Thinking in his heart, Yao Ruoyu said slowly: "The chance of Chu Kuangge taking action is not high. After all, the other party is also a powerful person in the eighth level. It would be too embarrassing to deal with our group of third and fourth levels. However, if he went on a battle in person and was under the throne, the morale increase to the Song army would definitely be very huge."

Touching his chin, Yang Renjie said depressedly: "What should I do?"

Fu Zan pondered: "Is it true that the strategy is not applicable, are you going to fight them head-on?"

Seeing him asking, Xu Xuanrong nodded, "Yes."

"But we have little advantage in this way!" Fu Feng frowned, "The opponent's soldiers are all in the third realm, and they are on the same level as us. If we fight, we may be unable to resist."

Li Yilin curled his lips and laughed, "What are you afraid of? Just go up and do it!"

He tried very hard not to roll his eyes, Ren Jiasheng smiled bitterly and said, "Let's not talk nonsense when looking for pleasure."

Chen Meng rubbed the word "well" squeezed out by his eyebrows and said in a muffled voice: "Why don't we give up Diaoyu City first, concentrate the army, and fight with them directly?"

Wu Xue, who was gnawing on the corn cob, was choked very hard. After coughing a few times, she said unhappily: "Master, don't be cute! You almost choked me to death!"

"Wu Xue, what do you think?" Seeing Wu Xue speak, Jiang Siyu's eyes turned and he suddenly asked.

"Me?" Wu Xue smiled and said, "What can I think? But you have to be a human being. If you are amazing, you can fight against them! Even if they kill us, they will probably be half-dead, right?"

"Half-dissolved?" Li Huo sneered when he heard this, but at this time Yao Ruoyu, Luo He, Bai Qiuyu, Duan Li, Li Tianyang and others all lit up their eyes, and they all realized something.

Luo He looked at Wu Xue happily. He was originally dissatisfied with Wu Xue always eating at the meeting, but when he heard what Wu Xue said, he suddenly felt a little bit of recognition of the girl in his heart.

"What do you think of me?" Seeing Luo He looking at him with bright eyes, Wu Xue snorted and said shyly, "Do you think he is extremely talented and wants to confess his love?"

"Ahehe..." Luo He turned his head awkwardly, silently deleted his new impression of Wu Xue'er just now, and returned to his original impression.

As he thought, if a fool had a thousand thoughts, he would have to get one thing, probably people like Wu Xue.

Just when the hall was temporarily quiet because of Wu Xue's pretending to be shy, someone suddenly knocked gently on the door. Then a servant walked in from outside and clasped his fists and said, "City Lord, news came from the city gate that someone asked for a meeting."

"Don't you see when this is? Now you are discussing matters in the city lord's mansion. Do you want to see anyone who wants to see him now?" Duan Li frowned in dissatisfaction and said in a deep voice.

Waving his hand, Yao Ruoyu looked at the attendant and asked, "Who is the person coming?"

Originally, Duan Li said his cheeks flushed, and the servant was about to withdraw, but when he heard Yao Ruoyu's inquiry, he quickly replied: "He calls himself Song Kai."

"Kaika?"
