Ling Xu felt irritated and uneasy when he heard this!

Fuck it, his little bride hasn't been found yet, let him go to war?

He looked at Xuan Ri crazy: "You just said where is Fengcheng?"

Xuan Ri replied: "It is the city where the Ling family of Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau is located!"

Xuan Chen admitted: "If 20,000 troops captured Fengcheng, I am afraid that their hearts will be alive. Fengcheng is a land of fish and rice, and the Silk Country is one of the richest lands in my Lengli Country! I am afraid that there must be someone in Fengcheng who is in the outside world and outside, otherwise, who will have the courage to stab my Lengli Country directly in the heart of my Lengli Country?"

"How is Fengcheng's defense power? How many soldiers guarding the city?" Ling Xu frowned and was speechless. When Leng Yunhe was in modern times, he had to fight and fight. Now in ancient times, he still has to do this?

Xuan Ri replied: "There should be less than 5,000 soldiers guarding Fengcheng, because it is impossible to concentrate troops in a certain city. These are because Fengcheng is a key city, so there are so many defensive guards."

Ling Xu stood quietly, his thoughts were heavy.

To be honest, if it weren't for hearing that the Ling family was in Fengcheng, he wouldn't have planned to intervene at all. Even if the entire Leng Li Kingdom was destroyed, what did it have to do with him? It was the top priority for him to take Qi Gui to run away home!

However, once the enemy country enters the city, the Ling family will be the richest man in Jiangnan and will inevitably be persecuted. Even if something happens to a cousin, it may affect the descendants. Without his father, Ling Yu, and him!

Especially, Qi Gui is in the Ling family!

"Master, the person who sent the secret letter was still waiting below, saying that the emperor had an oral order and asked if the picture was correct."

"No! Let the Lord continue to look for it! Report to the Lord about Fengcheng, and I will say that I will do my best."

"I'll report back now!"

Ling Xu grabbed the secret letters in his hand, sighed helplessly, and finally placed them on the kerosene lamp, burning them all little by little!

After the still sumptuous dinner, the downpour of rain for two consecutive days finally stopped.

Ling Xu held a scroll in his hand, which was painted by Xuan Yue for him. In the past two days, he thought about her and did not see her every day, so he could only see things and think of others through the portrait.

Xuanyue not only painted Qigui, but also spent the cherry blossom trees in Lanying Pavilion, with colorful fallen flowers, and the scenes of Ling Xu and Qigui playing chess.

Whenever Ling Xu looked at him, he felt sad, his longing was overflowing, and he had nowhere to tell him!

Just now, all the flower rolls were put into the collar of the chest, and Xuan Ri came: "Master, we should go on the road at night. If we don't go on the road, we are afraid we won't be able to keep Fengcheng!"

Ling Xu nodded: "Okay!"

As he was speaking, Xuan Ri and others had already taken Ling Xu and jumped directly to the carriage from the window. Xuan Chen lifted the curtain: "Master, the warm tea has been brewed. The map of Fengcheng and the city gate guarding map are all on the wooden table."

Ling Xu nodded, carried a dark purple robe into it little by little, and sat down on the mat.

The carriage was filled with the sweet cherry blossoms, and it was still the palace lantern that prayed to return home, quietly hanging on the roof of the car. Xuanyue was driving outside, and Xuanri went in and sat opposite Ling Xu.

He poured Ling Xu a cup of tea: "Master, the tea is cold at night, drink it while it's hot!"

"Yes." Ling Xu's eyes always fell on the defensive city gate map. He reached out to take the tea and drank it directly, then put the cup aside, thought for a long time, and admitted: "Is this still going to fight? The terrain of Fengcheng is relatively high, and the city gate is even more so. Two cannons are set up on the left and right on the top and firing down. Not to mention 20,000 people, even 100,000 people will be killed!"

When he was fighting in gangs, he liked bombs!

Even later, Tianling went to Seoul to compete with him for Ruirui, and at that time he always said he wanted to blow Tianling to death!

He seemed to love this devastating weapon in his bones and was born with bombs!

However, after he finished speaking, Xuan Ri didn't say anything, and the carriage was lonely. Nothing could be heard except the sound of horseshoes and wheels!

Ling Xu looked up in surprise and looked at Xuan Ri: "What's wrong? Didn't you say that Fengcheng is the most prosperous? The military power cannot even afford cannons?"

Xuan Ri was a little dull, and twitched the corner of his mouth expressionlessly, saying, "I dare to ask, what is... what is a cannon?"

“…”

Ling Xu was speechless. Didn’t it be said that gunpowder was also one of the four great inventions in ancient China? How could there be gunpowder but no ammunition, and he didn’t know the cannon? Or did he say that no one had ever made explosives in this era he was now?

Thinking of this, Ling Xu frowned and began to think deeply.

Alas, it seems that he is facing a big project!

Seeing that Ling Xu was silent, Xuan Ri said what he thought: "My dear, I always feel that this matter in Fengcheng may be related to Ling Chifan."

"How do you say this?"

"After all, he is the prince of Xizhao Kingdom. He is determined to restore the country. He captured Qi Gui. Could it be that he just wanted to take Qi Gui as a hostage when the two armies confronted each other and give up Fengcheng than us?"

"..." Ling Xu clenched his fists: "It's not impossible. After all, Qi Guiyijie's woman, what's the use of him? So the biggest possibility is to use Qi Gui and force me to submit!"

Thinking of this, Ling Xu suddenly became enlightened!

If Ling Chifan is really willing to exchange Qi Gui for Fengcheng at that time, he will give it to Ling Chifan. As long as Qi Gui returns to him without any harm, it is the most important thing!

Especially, Ling Chifan is a member of the Ling family, even if Fengcheng falls... the Ling family should not be too involved?

Even though he thought so in his heart, Ling Xu still dared not take risks.

In addition, Xuan Ri said, "My God, the soldiers of Xizhao Kingdom had a case of massacres twenty years ago. In the cities they captured, the people from eighty to newborn babies did not survive. This is also the reason why Xizhao Kingdom was unpopular later! Master, if the siege of Xizhao this time was really the 20,000 elite soldiers, then we must firmly defend them no matter what, and protect these fresh and innocent lives in Fengcheng!"

"Massacre of the city?" It was so cruel. Ling Xu heard this word and sweated in his back!

Isn’t this forcing him to fight?

Perhaps seeing Ling Xu's thoughts, Xuan Ri said, "You don't have to worry too much about Qi Gui's sister. When there is news about her, let Xuan Yue hide in the middle of the night and stolen her and return it to you?"

Ling Xu sighed and said nothing.

I knew that the other party had spent so much effort to catch Qi Gui, so how could he easily steal the person back?

Without looking at him, Ling Xu took a deep breath, knowing that there was nothing he could do about being sad now.
