Chapter 71

The city Lord is back!

Zheng Yuanlong, the leader of Xiyun City, is the brother of Zheng Yuanyun, the leader of bo'an city. Because of this relationship, after receiving the emergency military affairs from bo'an City, Zheng Yuanlong led the army to set out overnight. It can be seen that his heart is urgent.

Fortunately, Chen Ze was only a day late and noticed the difference of the poison fog forest and reported it to Xiyun city. Otherwise, he might not be able to catch up with Zheng Yuanlong.

At this time, the threat of poison fog forest has been lifted. It seems that there is no need to chase Zheng Yuanlong back, but this is only an afterthought.

When the poison fog army did not attack Xiyun City, even Chen Ze could not estimate how many people the other party had and what kind of siege plan it had. It was just a safe plan to call reinforcements before the war.

After that, although Xiyun city has been guaranteed, out of caution, although bo'an city is the target of Zhu Yan empire's massive attack, the breakthrough is likely to be Xiyun City, so it is not wrong to continue to let Zheng Yuanlong come back.

After all, there are more than 5000 hidden in the poison fog. This force is always a threat to Xiyun city. With the help of Zheng Yuanlong's troops, Xiyun city should be more solid and capable of counterattack.

The city Lord's mansion.

"Are you Chen Ze?"

Zheng Yuanlong sat on the first seat of the hall of the city Lord's residence. On his dark face, a pair of narrowed eyes were sharp and divine. He was looking at Chen Ze standing silently in the hall.

His stature is extremely tall. Even if he just sits, he is one head higher than the attendants around him. The bulging muscles all over his body support the warrior's strength and want to burst. Coupled with the pair of sword eyebrows that seem to be brushed with black paint, he is dignified and majestic.

The two brothers of the Zheng family, the eldest brother Zheng Yuanyun, took the path of adviser. Now he is only a line away from the national teacher. His second younger brother Zheng Yuanlong was born as a military general. Now he is also in the position of governor and can be regarded as a double hero.

"I've seen the city Lord!"

Under Zheng Yuanlong's fierce gaze, Chen Ze was neither humble nor arrogant, and answered with a deep voice.

Zheng Yuanlong's eyes moved away from Chen Ze's face and turned to Mr. Jing on the side of the sit in.

"Lord Zheng, the danger of Xiyun city is really due to the work of Chen Ze."

Mr. Jing bowed slightly, which confirmed Chen Ze's contribution to guarding the city, but from beginning to end, he didn't see Chen Ze, and his face was calm, so people couldn't guess what was in his mind.

Since Chen Ze left that day, Mr. Jing hasn't seen him again.

The other party didn't come to him. Of course, Chen Ze was happy and quiet. Naturally, he wouldn't take the initiative to run to the military aircraft office to find himself unhappy. Therefore, this is also the first time they have met in recent days.

"Are you... Third class counselor?"

Zheng Yuanlong looked at the military rank on Chen Ze's chest, and there was a trace of doubt on his face.

But he just flashed away, and then his face sank. He said coldly, "since Xiyun city is all right, why do you call the city master back?"

The implication is quite blameworthy.

Chen Ze shook his head helplessly.

In the hall, one is the Lord of Xiyun city and the other is the chief official of military aircraft. They are the two most powerful people in the city.

However, they are also the two least interested in Xiyun city.

Because of Hua Lao, Mr. Jing blindly handed over the military power to Chen Ze, but the city Lord was not much better.

The city he guarded was almost lost. After he came back, he didn't give Chen Ze more than half a good face, and even looked cold and evil.

It is estimated that he can come back after receiving Chen Ze's original analysis, and dare not let Xiyun city become a breakthrough for Zhu Yan's empire after its defeat, so as to win bo'an city in one fell swoop?

In his heart, Chen Ze only said: "one of the reasons why he urgently asked the city leader to come back is that Xiyun city can't afford to lose, and the other is that he doesn't want to come for nothing“

"You mean..." Zheng Yuanlong said coldly, "as long as Xiyun city is not lost, Zhu Yan empire can't attack bo'an, so the troops will be withdrawn naturally, so the city master's trip to bo'an city is for nothing?"

"What about this?"

The voice fell. He didn't wait for Chen Ze's interface. He waved and threw a roll of kraft paper in front of Chen Ze.

This roll of kraft paper is very thick and has scattered when it is thrown in front of Chen Ze. From his point of view, you can see that there is a bright red and dazzling Bo character in it.

"This is..."

When Mr. Jing saw him from the side, his face suddenly changed. He rushed up with an arrow, picked up the kraft paper before Chen Ze, spread it out and looked at it. His face was ugly again.

"When did the flying pigeon deliver the book?"

As he handed the kraft paper to Chen Ze, he asked Zheng Yuanlong.

"Just now, as soon as the city master's front foot entered the city, the flying pigeon sent a message and then arrived!"

Zheng Yuanlong snorted coldly, "didn't you say that as long as you keep Xiyun City, Zhu Yan's army will retreat? How can you explain that?"

Haotian mainland's technology is far less developed than Chen Ze's previous life. If you want to send messages between cities, you usually send scouts to deliver the information in person. For example, the last time bo'an city sent a message for help, it was personally delivered to the city leaders along the way.

In addition, it is the flying pigeon.

Although it will be faster to use carrier pigeons to deliver messages, there are too many uncertainties in the transmission of books by flying pigeons, which are very easy to be intercepted by the enemy. Needless to say, it is difficult to ensure that there will be any accidents in the long-distance flight of carrier pigeons.

Therefore, if the commander wants to deliver the message, the safest thing is to send strictly trained scouts, followed by flying pigeons.

Therefore, Prajna is to use flying pigeons to deliver messages. Either the enemy besieged the city and made the scouts unable to leave the city, or the situation is so urgent that the uncertainty of flying pigeons can be ignored.

After taking the kraft paper, Chen Ze spread it out and took a look, and his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

Looking at the signature on the paper, this urgent letter for help was sent from bo'an city two days ago.

So that means

At least two days ago, Zhu Yan empire was still attacking the city and had no intention of withdrawing troops.

As the breakthrough of this campaign, the strategic significance of Xiyun city is extraordinary. Even if Zhu Yan Empire did not dare to send more troops here at the risk of being detected, there will be necessary surveillance.

Chen Ze's army to break the poison fog was four days ago, exactly four and a half days ago.

For such a long time, scout Zhu Yan, who was enough to secretly monitor the war situation, informed the front battlefield with an emergency contact method similar to the legend of flying pigeons. Then the Zhu Yan Empire, who knew it was impossible, should have withdrawn its troops long ago. There was no point in continuing to consume its own troops.

But they didn't.

Not only did it not. According to the kraft paper, the Zhu Yan Empire even sent 200000 more troops to the city of bo'an. It looks like it doesn't stop taking the matter of bo'an.

But the problem is that the Zhu Yan empire is not afraid of the entrenched bo'an city and other reinforcements. Instead, they make dumplings?

"Dare you ask the city Lord, can you send reinforcements to Boan?"

Chen Ze frowned and didn't answer the question.
