Chapter 33 The Opportunity Has Come
"Oh? What happened to little brother Bai? As long as I, Danxiang Pavilion, can help, I will do my best!" Wu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then immediately made his own promise. Bai Yuzhe said Danxiang to him The favor of the pavilion cannot be repaid with a little material.
Even if he is asked to spend all the financial and material resources of Danxiang Pavilion, he will not hesitate!
With his current status as a second-grade alchemist, it would be too easy to re-establish a force like Bidanxiang Pavilion. And this is what Bai Yuzhe brought to him!
"The head of the Chen family, plus his two direct heirs, and about fifty Heart Sect warriors from the Chen family, all died in our hands!" Bai Yuzhe said this data calmly, as if he had killed It was not a big family like the Chen family, but just like a few ants.
"What? Are Chen Chuanfang and his two sons dead?" Wu Cang was shocked and almost spit out the sip of wine he just drank. Fortunately, he had good control and swallowed it, but his face was choked. Got all red.
Bai Yuzhe nodded firmly, but didn't say anything else, just looked at the other person calmly.
After Wu Cang calmed down his emotions, he said: "Brother Bai, please don't worry. Although the Chen family is considered a big family in Floating City, their reputation is not very good. You can live in our Danxiang with peace of mind." Pavilion, if people from the City Lord’s Mansion come over, Wu will come and deal with it, and they will definitely keep you safe and sound!”
Wu Cang has indeed been keeping a low profile during this period. Even the fact that he broke through to the source realm and was promoted to a second-grade alchemist has not been spread to the outside world at all. Even only a few people in Danxiang Pavilion know about it.
However, his achievements in realm and alchemy are now almost stable, and he had planned to announce the news in a few days. Now that this happened to Bai Yuzhe, he had to reveal his trump card as soon as possible.
He was very confident that as long as he paid some price, the city lord Wang Zhenmin would definitely give him this face.
"Then it's Pavilion Master Wu!" Bai Yuzhe cupped his hand. Wu Cang's reaction made him quite satisfied, but he still wanted to tell the whole story. He picked up the cup and calmly took a sip of wine. , and then said, "There is another thing. In this battle, a big man's subordinates also died in our hands. You don't need to ask more about who this big man is. I can only say that his status is higher than that of the king." The city lord is much taller."
This time, Wu Cang's reaction was not as fierce as before. He just sighed secretly in his heart: How can you people cause trouble? Your status is much higher than that of the King of City...
Could it be the third prince who recently appeared in the floating city?
Although the third prince's visit to Floating City is relatively low-key, there are still many people who know about it. At least forces like Danxiang Pavilion must know about it. After hearing what Bai Yuzhe said, Wu Cang quickly thought of this aspect.
Although the reaction was not that big, Wu Cang did not respond so quickly this time, but fell into silence, obviously hesitating.
Bai Yuzhe didn't rush him, he drank wine calmly, ate sumptuous dishes, and waited patiently. He could understand Wu Cang's mentality very well. The Chen family's matter was already a major matter, but within his tolerance, it could indeed be solved at a certain price.
But for the Third Prince, that's different. Not only would the Danxiang Pavilion be gone, but his family and himself might also be in danger. Even if Wu Cang didn't agree in the end, Bai Yuzhe wouldn't blame him. After all, he had tested Wu Cang's personal character several times, and it was considered to be his approval.
At this time, the originally lively atmosphere became completely quiet. Everyone was looking at Wu Cang, waiting for his decision.
"Brother Bai, this matter is of great importance. Wu doesn't dare to make any guarantees! But when the time comes, I hope you can understand and let Wu make some arrangements. Wu doesn't want his wife and daughter to be involved in this. In the midst of things." After a while, Wu Cang finally made a decision and said these words.
"Then thank you Pavilion Master Wu!" Bai Yuzhe raised his cup, gestured to Wu Cang, and drank it all in one gulp!
In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart. Even if the third prince was recruited, he would never let Wu Cang's family suffer any casualties. He decided to stay in Danxiang Pavilion temporarily this time, actually for convenience and to increase his cultivation speed faster.
Wu Cang's current performance makes him very satisfied, so he will never let the other party suffer the danger in vain.
"You're welcome, little brother Bai. You can be said to be a blessing to our Wu family. If you have any trouble, Wu will do his best even if it means fighting with this old bone! However, you can rest assured for the time being. Today, the Silver Wolf Kingdom's army invaded and the battle has already begun. The King of City Lord definitely does not have time to deal with this matter. As for the third prince you mentioned, he should also divert his attention." Wu Cang also drank the wine in the glass. After that, they talked about the war.
Bai Yuzhe and the others had not heard of it because they did not pay attention or inquire about it. It would take some time for the war to reach their ears.
But as Wu Cang is the only alchemist in Floating City, how could he not know about this?
"War?" When Bai Yuzhe heard this, his face turned slightly, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He had some thoughts in his heart, but he would not say it out now.
Then, with Wu Cang's efforts, the atmosphere just now slowly returned. After drinking for several hours, some people were a little drunk, and the dinner was finally over.
After arranging for Luo Ming and the other eighteen people to rest, Bai Yuzhe went to see Wu Cang again. After a few words, the two went to the alchemy room again.
Bai Yuzhe's drinking capacity is very high, and such a small amount of wine has basically no effect. Wu Cang's drinking capacity is also good. Although he is a little drunk, his mind is absolutely clear. With Bai Yuzhe around, refining alchemy is still not a problem.
The two of them opened the furnace at the same time. Wu Cang was refining a first-grade spirit-rejuvenating pill. This kind of pill is mainly used to restore one's own source of energy and physical strength. Its value is slightly lower than that of the Yuan-Condensing Pill. Bai Yuzhe's request to him today was to refine as many spirit-resurrecting pills as possible.
As for the Ning Yuan Dan, he has enough for now, at least it can last for a while.
Naturally, Bai Yuzhe was still refining poison. After hearing the word war, he already had an idea in his mind, so he didn't waste any time. He still came to refine elixirs and poisons this late at night to make the preparations he needed.
It wasn't until midnight that the two of them went back to rest. During this night, Bai Yuzhe refined the poisonous smoke twice. One was the same as last time, and the other was different!
When it comes to the battlefield, liquid poison is naturally not as effective as poisonous smoke.
In the next few days, Bai Yuzhe and others lived safely in Danxiang Pavilion. Just as Wu Cang expected, the war started unexpectedly, and it was still a big war. City Lord Wang definitely had no time to deal with the Chen family. matter.
Even the third prince is the same. If the floating city is destroyed, it will definitely be a catastrophe for Yu State. Not to mention that he himself is still in the floating city, so he still calculates this account very clearly.
According to the information from Danxiang Pavilion, it is said that the battle was very fierce. On the first day, the city lord Wang Zhenmin personally led his troops out to fight. He killed several generals of the opponent and almost captured the opponent's vanguard general alive. Morale soared. Then in the battle between the armies, four to five thousand enemies were wiped out, and the opponents were beaten and fled away. It was considered a big victory.
However, he did not dare to pursue too far for fear of being ambushed by the opponent, and the army behind the opponent did not know exactly when it would arrive and its approximate number.
The vanguard army of the Silver Wolf Kingdom was not discouraged by the defeat in the first battle. After Wang Zhenmin led his army back to the city, the vanguard general Xiao Yong came back again with his army. Without any provocation, he Camping began not far from the other side of the Yuqing River.
The next day, the Silver Wolf Kingdom's army arrived and merged with their vanguard army. At first glance, they saw a dark area in front of them, estimated to have more than 200,000 troops.
In the afternoon of the same day, the siege battle officially started. As soon as it started, the Silver Wolf Kingdom launched a fierce attack. Under the interference of the defenders, in just over half an hour, a tower was built on the Yuqing River. On the pontoon, the real troops came to the city. Although they also left thousands of corpses washed away by the rushing river, after crossing the river, everyone frantically attacked the city wall!
Next, there is a fierce offensive and defensive battle.
After two days, the floating city was temporarily defended. The 100,000 troops that could defend the city now have more than 20,000 killed and about 30,000 wounded, and more than half of them are temporarily unable to continue participating in the war. As a result, there are less than 60,000 available soldiers.
Moreover, the more than 650,000 defenders are now exhausted. After all, they are defending the city. The initiative lies with others, and they must be on guard at all times. Moreover, the city wall also suffered considerable damage.
Although the losses of Silver Wolf Country were greater, their army was originally two and a half times that of Floating City. It can be said that the situation was very unoptimistic.
The letter Wang Zhenmin sent at that time has now been responded to individually, but it is estimated that reinforcements will not be able to arrive in a day or two.
On the third day, Wang Zhenmin issued an order in the city to recruit volunteers to join the army to protect his family and country! Anyone who voluntarily joins the army, as long as they are physically qualified, will be rewarded quite a bit, and even have the right to be pardoned for some crimes they have committed before!
Bai Yuzhe, who had been well prepared, had been waiting for this day. In fact, even if the City Lord's Palace does not take the initiative to recruit soldiers, he will lead people to join the army when the time comes. With such a huge war starting, there is almost no reason for the City Lord's Palace not to recruit them.
