Before he finished his sentence, another man appeared on the wall and pulled the woman into his arms. He then smiled at the An family. "If you dare to bully her, you have to ask me about the sword first!"

With that, An Jiajia and the woman on the wall said in unison, "Move your dirty hands away!"

The man laughed heartily. "Oh, not bad! The two of them are pretty well-matched!" Then, with an "Ah!", the woman slammed the man down from the wall. Seeing this, An Ruoxue cried out in alarm, "Third Uncle, you!" An Ruoxue originally wanted to say, "Are you okay?"

An Luxiang's feet made a somersault in the air, a longsword appearing out of nowhere in her hands. Facing the moonlight, she thrust it into An Jiajia's left shoulder. An Jiajia smiled faintly and said, "Third Brother, do you think your sword can block a few of the 'White-Headed Crow's attacks'?"

An Luxiang laughed, "Although this' Gold Point Sword 'of mine isn't any divine sword, it isn't a piece of scrap metal!" Before her voice faded, the two swords clashed, immediately creating many sparks. An Luxiang's' Gold Point Sword 'was indeed not an ordinary sword, and after colliding with the' White Legged Crow 'several times, there were only a few holes on the sword.

At this moment, Zhen Yang on the wall laughed, "Heal, today we must teach him a lesson, so as to avoid his usual arrogance …"

After Zhen Yang finished speaking, he heard the An clan continue to look at An Luxiang and say, "Do you want to try 'Tulily'?"

An Luxiang put away the golden sword and said, "Okay, I took it back. I haven't used it even once." With that, she took the blade from An Wuyou.

The more An Wutu looked at it, the more he smiled and placed it across his chest. At the same time, he also circulated his internal Zhen Qi, and saw that the 'White Legged Crow' began to love you more and more, emitting a white light, and the orchid Qi was even stronger than before. Seeing this, An Wugou, Liang Wugou, An Ruoxue, Wen Lu and the other three were all startled.

With a long howl, An Luxiang turned her right hand and the long sword flew out. The sword pierced towards the An clan in a slanted fashion, causing everyone to be puzzled, but our clan's reputation's sword attack seemed to be slanted and crooked, but the sword light it released had already enveloped six of our fatal points. The sword art was exquisite, and An clan took two steps back and shouted, "Good sword art, it seems like you haven't stopped for the past two years!"

As he said this, his long sword had already counterattacked. Then, An Luxiang turned her sword around and stabbed randomly into the air. The An clan's sword also slashed into the air. The two of them slashed seven or eight times, but each one of their swords struck the air and the two swords did not meet.

At this moment, Zhen Yang had already climbed down from the wall and stood beside An Ruoxue. An Ruoxue stared at him in confusion and asked Zhen Yang, "Big Sister Zhen, what are the two of them doing? Why did they exchange so many swords with each other?"

Zhen Yang laughed, "You don't understand, An Luxiang made it look like a Taiji sword art from the Wudang Sect. This sword art looks messy, but in reality, it uses softness to counter force, and its inner strength is extremely strong, so if it intersects with his sword, it would be absorbed by his inner strength, thus he loses, and the family could see his path, so they won't interact with him, but they have to restrict his movements, not to the point where they might be sucked away by his sword."

After listening to An Ruoxue nod her head in admiration, Liang Yixian could not help but feel a sense of admiration. This respect was not only for the An clan's martial arts, but also for the fact that he did not use his strength to suppress others when competing with his sword.

An Luxiang laughed, "Brat, long time no see, your swordsmanship has advanced yet again!" As she spoke, she raised the long sword in her hand and slashed twenty or thirty times in a row, but each sword was not aimed at the An clan. The tip of the sword was always seven to eight feet away from the An clan's body, and the An clan was able to strike back a few moves with the edge of his sword.

Everyone was puzzled. It was clear that An Jiayi's blade was still far away from them, and there was no wind at all when he drew his sword. It was definitely not an invisible sword Qi attack, so why was An Luxiang so afraid of it?

However, Zhen Yang only laughed and said, "An Luxiang, quickly come down. Otherwise, if you really lose later on, you'll lose face to this junior …"

The sword was fast and vigorous, and a cold star instantly appeared on the tip of the sword. As the An clan saw that the sword in his hand was slightly tilted upwards, they no longer looked at it, and instead, stared straight at it. The more their gazes met, the more the cold light on the sword dispersed, because the An clan had recognized that the An clan was looking at their various acupoints, so they did not dare to advance.

An Luxiang noticed that something was wrong, so she immediately turned her sword to block it. At the same time, she turned her body and jumped behind An Jiajia, thrusting several times with her sword. The An family was in a hurry to dodge, but shortly after, they turned and stabbed towards the "Heavenly Cauldron" on the left side of An Luxiang's neck with their sword. When An Luxiang was about to stab him with her sword, An Yuexian hurriedly lowered his head and thrust his sword straight into the ground, creating a crack.

After staring for a while, they simultaneously let out a loud shout as if they were about to fight. At this moment, a pretty voice came from the main hall, "What kind of nonsense are you two playing in front of the juniors? If you really have the ability, then come and fight with me for a bit." When An Luxiang and An Jieyu finished listening, they immediately withdrew their swords and retreated to the side, only to see Hong Mei Ao Xue slowly walking out of the main hall.

When Hong Mei Ao Xue came out, she glared at the two of them and a chill went down their spines. The next moment, Hong Mei Ao Xue started cursing at the two of them. An Luxiang and An Jieyu had no choice but to lower their heads to listen.

After she finished cursing, Hongmei Ao Xue turned around and sized up Liang Yisheng and Wen Lu. Liang Yisheng and Wen Lu'er quickly bowed, "Junior Liang Yisheng and Wen Lu'er greets Hong Mei, Island Master!"

Hong Mei Ao Xue harrumphed coldly and said, "You are very capable, Liang Yi Sheng. You dare to come to the Thousand Plum Villa and openly provoke us? Are you trying to bully our Thousand Plum House?"

Liang Yixian had just met the Sword Gods of An Family and An Luxiang, so he could not help but sigh that he was far inferior to the two of them. However, when the two of them saw Hong Mei and Ao Xue, they did not even dare to breathe loudly.

You go back and tell Chen Longyu that Shen Muhua, Tongtian Lang, and Sun Qinghong were all killed by me. Chen Zhiyuan is still locked up in Wanmei Manor, and if Chen Longyu has the ability to save him, then he should come and save him.

Liang Yisheng had long heard that his three martial uncles had died on a secret mission not long ago. Who knew that they had been killed by Hong Mei and Ao Xue? He didn't dare to say anything further but lowered his head to say, "Yes!"

Hong Mei Ao Xue ignored him and glared at him. "Get lost now!"

After hearing what she said, Liang Yisheng quickly took Wen Lu and ran over the wall. As soon as they got over the wall, they saw a fan thrown over from the other side landed in An Wuyou's hand.

Two or three days after Liang Yixian left, An Jiayu and the rest of the guards in Ji Prefecture city had been heavily guarded, but none of Chen Long Yu's troops had come. One must know that the feeling of waiting for the enemy to attack was not very good either.

King Yan, Zhu Di, summoned him. That scout dared to come forward and report, "Your Highness, the enemy forces have been spotted in the northeast of the city. There are roughly seventy of them!"

Zhu Di said, "Scouting again, reporting more!"

Just as the scout left, Zhu Di was about to speak again when the scout caught up to him and reported, "Your highness, we've discovered enemy forces seventy li northeast of the city. There's roughly thirty of them!"

Zhu Di said, "Search again, report it immediately!"

The scout took his leave. Just as Zhu Di was about to speak again, the scout came up to report, "Your highness, forty miles northeast of the city, enemy troops have been discovered. There's roughly fifty of them!"

Zhu Di said, "Search again, report it immediately!"

The scout went off to receive his orders. This time, Zhu Di didn't speak. His eyes were fixed on the door, and sure enough, he was on the lookout for the horse. The scout dared to come forward and report.

Zhu Di asked doubtfully, "What?" "Southwest direction?"

The scout said, "Southwest direction."

Zhu Di replied, "Order people to redeploy their defenses. Jizhou City is surrounded by ten li, not five li. If there's any news, report to me immediately!"

Not long after, the scout horses were reported to Ji Zhou like passing lanterns. All around Ji Zhou city, Chen Long Yu's troops had appeared.

The more An clan was involved, the more anxious they became. "Your Royal Highness, the more enemies appear in all four directions. Don't tell me that Chen Longyu is going to surround the city?"

An Wuyou replied, "Yes, I agree with fourth uncle."

Daoyan said, "I don't think so."

Zhu Di asked, "What do you mean, master?" Although Chen Longyu's bandits were all gathered at Little Tang Mountain, if the enemy made a detour and attacked …

Dao Yan said, "Prince, please listen to what this old monk has to say. Right now, bandits are appearing from all directions. This is only a trick of Chen Longyu."

I agree with the Master, the troops are scattered around the city, it's just a siege, but if we want to surround the city, we have to at least double the number of soldiers guarding the city, but at this time, Chen Longyu only has ten thousand soldiers, he cannot surround the city, I'm afraid that he has other intentions for scattering most of the troops one by one.

An Jiayi said, "What if Chen Zhiyuan is not telling the truth? "Maybe Chen Long Yu doesn't only have ten thousand people!"

Dao Yan said, "Fourth Manor Lord, the ancient people's' army is over ten thousand without borders and over a hundred thousand without ends. 'It is already extraordinary that Little Tang Shan could gather ten thousand people. Moreover, Little Tang Shan is currently between Beiping City and Ji Prefecture City. There is only one bandit here and no abnormality elsewhere, so Chen Zhiyuan's words are most likely true."

An Wuyou said, "Then I really can't understand what Chen Long Yu is trying to do!"

Yu Zhongxiang said, "I have a guess, but I want to try it out in advance."

Dao Yan replied, "I understand what Godly Doctor means."

An Wuyou asked, "What does Godly Doctor mean?"

Dao Yan said, "Manor lord, have you noticed that although scouts have repeatedly reported Chen Long Yu's bandits appearing in the vicinity of Ji Zhou city, they all share a common trait."

An Wuyou shook his head, and the more he thought about it, the more he realized what was going on: "I understand what Master meant, did Master say that there are only three groups of bandits that Chen Long Yu had sent out, and these three groups of bandits were just a smokescreen?"

Daoyan smiled and said, "The Fourth Manor Lord is quite insightful. Although he has come several times to report this, there are only seventy people a hundred miles away, and seventy miles away are only thirty people from all directions. As for the forty miles, there are only fifty people.

"It's not easy for Chen Longyu's troops to bypass the defensive line we've set up outside of Ji Prefecture, but the small army can go through mountains and mountains, so our main force can be concentrated in the east." Yu Zhong said, "It's not easy for Chen Longyu's main force to bypass the defensive line we've set up outside of Ji Prefecture, but the small army can go through mountains and mountains, so our main force can go through the eastern region.

When Zhu Di finished listening, he said loudly, "Alright, since that's the case, then not only do I suggest not dispersing the forces guarding the city, but add another line to the three lines of defense outside the city, and also set up a tent outside of the lines on both sides of the east gate. It's called the East Camp, and each battalion has three thousand soldiers guarding them.

Everyone agreed with him. Although Zhu Di was currently a guest at the Thousand Plum Villa, because of his lofty status, his ability to command and arrange troops on the battlefield far surpassed that of the An clan, he had become the leader of this battle without everyone noticing.

At this moment, Zhu Di ordered the East Twin to split into two thousand infantry units, one thousand cavalry units, and five hundred crossbows. He ordered Zhang Yu and the An clan to guard the east camp while Zhu Neng and An Luxiang guarded the west camp.

Zhu Di ordered Tan Yuan and An Wugou to set up more defenses in the city gate tower, and he also ordered them to stock up on large numbers of rolling wood slabs, crossbow bolts, hot oil, and other things to defend the city. He also ordered them to set up a large number of deep trenches thirty miles outside of the city, with bamboo spikes in the trenches and to place stumbling horses in front of the deep trenches.

Zhu Di, along with Yu Zhongxiang and Daoyan, guarded the inner city. After giving out their orders, they left. Just as Zhu Di was about to leave his seat and follow Tan Yuan and An Wugou to inspect the city defenses, he saw Hong Mei Ao Xue wearing a military uniform. She blocked Zhu Di's delicate voice as she shouted, "Prince, please halt!"
