Ning Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered: "Did he travel to Bianzhou or was he originally in Bianzhou?

Your teacher is quite interesting, but he wants to come and see you, so we naturally have to warmly welcome him... When will he arrive?"
Xiao Yanxi shook her head, "I don't know either. The teacher only said he would come to see me, but didn't say when he would arrive."
She knew very well that Ning Chen had now determined that her teacher was the man in white.
Although there were various signs that his teacher was the man in white, she didn't want to believe it without real evidence... because the teacher was very good to her, and her teacher himself was a very good person.
She didn't believe that her teacher was a bad person who killed so many Daxuan soldiers for his own selfishness.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, this ghost in the painting actually wanted to visit Xiao Yanxi... What was this? Was it a provocation?
"I hope your teacher is still alive."
Xiao Yanxi asked subconsciously: "What do you mean?"
Ning Chen sneered: "The man in white who followed you tonight was shot twice and shot by an arrow... If he is not strong enough, let alone coming to see you, I am afraid he will not even survive tonight."
Xiao Yanxi was silent for a while and said: "Do you think that man in white is really my teacher?"
Ning Chen did not speak.
In fact, he did not care whether the man in white was Xiao Yanxi's teacher. No matter who this man in white is? He must die for killing so many Daxuan soldiers.
Seeing that Ning Chen didn't say anything, Xiao Yanxi said softly, "It's getting late, I'll go back and rest first."
Ning Chen held her hand, "It's so cold, it's so cold to sleep alone... Stay, I'll warm your bed."
Xiao Yanxi's pretty face suddenly turned red, and sweat broke out on her forehead due to nervousness. She stammered, "I, I'm not ready yet!"
"Prepare for what? It's just a simple sleep, not anything. Xiao Xixi, why are you so naughty?"
Xiao Yanxi was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head.
.......
The next day.
Ning Chen was still sleeping.
Xiao Yanxi had already gotten up early.
"Your Majesty, I, Yuan Long, want to see you!"
Ning Chen was awakened, wrapped himself tightly in his quilt, it was too cold, and immediately shouted outside, "Come in!"
Yuan Long pushed the door in, stood outside, and said, "Your Majesty, King Wu is here."
Ning Chen couldn't stay in bed anymore.
He got up, dressed, and went outside. While washing, he asked, "How many soldiers did the King Wu bring?"
Yuan Long said, "30,000."
"Where are the King Wu's men?"
Yuan Long said, "The grain has been stored in the warehouse, the army has returned to the camp, and the King Wu is still busy."
Ning Chen nodded slightly. At this moment, Xiao Yanxi came in with breakfast.
"General Yuan is here too. Have you had breakfast? Have something to eat?"
Yuan Long said, "Thank you, Miss Xiao. I have!"
Ning Chen sat down and asked, "Have you seen Lei An?"
Yuan Long shook his head, "No!"
Ning Chen said, "Oh."
Lei An has not come to see him, which means that the man in white has not been found yet.
It was cold and the herbs in the city were all in his hands. Even if the man in white knew medical skills, it would be useless without herbs... Maybe he has died in a corner.
Ning Chen had just finished his meal when the King Wu came.
King Wu looked at the bowl that was cleaner than a dog's and smiled, "I said I'd come to your place for a good meal, but I'm still a step too late."
Ning Chen smiled and asked, "Didn't you have breakfast?"
King Wu shook his head, "No!"
Xiao Yanxi took over the conversation, "Then you guys chat, I'll have someone prepare breakfast for King Wu."
King Wu hurriedly said, "Thank you!"
Xiao Yanxi smiled and went out!
Ning Chen suddenly said, "You came just in time, I'm going to attack Linxuan City in Xiliang."
King Wu and Yuan Long were shocked.
Ning Chen said, "Xiguan City is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt... In order to rebuild, in addition to a lot of labor, a lot of wood and stone are needed.
The 20,000 people who survived must have grain provided by the court next year. If they want to be self-sufficient, they have to wait until next year's autumn harvest... During this period, the people have to eat, and the food King Wu brought is not enough.
So, Linxuan City must be attacked."
King Wu and Yuan Long nodded.
Ning Chen said, "Yuan Long, gather the Ning'an Army and set off tonight.
King Wu, bring all the 30,000 troops you brought with you to attack Linxuan City this time."
King Wu subconsciously asked, "This plus the Ning'an Army only has 40,000 people. If you want to take Linxuan City quickly, you should bring more people, right?"
Ning Chen waved his hand, "No, the others have to keep an eye on the Xiliang captives and protect the safety of the people in the city.
This battle is not difficult to fight. Xiliang has not yet known the news of Leng Wenyan and Bian Yangze's defeat.
Leng Wenyan and Bian Yangze have more than 200,000 troops... So I guess the garrison in Linxuan City will not be too many, and 40,000 troops are enough."
King Wu nodded, "Okay, then I'll go prepare after I'm full!"
Ning Chen hummed.
He was worried that the man in white would tell on him before, so he never told him about his plan to attack Xiliang Linxuan City.
But now the man in white is seriously injured, maybe he is dead, and he has no ability to tell on him.
King Wu has arrived now, and the matter of attacking Linxuan City should be put on the agenda.
........
That night, Ning Chen led 40,000 troops to Linxuan City.
Linxuan City is not far from Xiguan City, and it can be reached in two days of rapid march.
But now it is covered with heavy snow, and it is difficult to march. It may take four or five days to arrive.
The reason why Ning Chen is so confident is naturally because he has firearms. Second, he knows Linxuan City, after all, he has conquered it before.
Four days later, Ning Chen led the army less than 20 miles away from Linxuan City.
Ning Chen ordered the army to stay and rest.
Tonight, he will attack Linxuan City at night.
Night falls!
The army is ready to go.
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Let's go!
Before dawn, we must capture Linxuan City, otherwise we will be punished by military law!"
Half an hour later, Ning Chen led the army directly to the foot of Linxuan City without any cover!
Because they all wore Xiliang military uniforms and flew the Xiliang battle flag.
"I am Shi Nidie, the deputy general under General Bian. Open the city gate quickly!"
Ning Chen shouted loudly.
The soldiers on the top of the city did not find anything wrong.
A burly general appeared on the top of the city wall, looking down at Ning Chen and others, "Why don't you see General Bian?"
Ning Chen shouted: "Bianzhou was lost, Leng Wenyan is dead... General Bian met Ning Chen halfway, was defeated and captured, and is now repairing the city wall in Daxuan West Gate City."
The generals and all the soldiers on the top of the city wall changed their faces.
"What did you say? General Bian was defeated?"
Ning Chen nodded, "Defeated, defeated miserably!
What nonsense, open the city gate quickly...Can you afford to delay important things?"
The generals on the city wall came back to their senses after a long time, and said: "General Shi, wait a moment, I will send someone to report to General Han."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Okay, then you go and come back quickly!"
The generals on the top of the city wall responded and immediately ordered someone to notify the general guarding the city.
Ning Chen turned around and asked, "Are the people in the Archery Battalion ready?"
King Wu nodded, "Ready!"
"Leian, are the artillery ready?"
"Ready!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Push it up."
