Fairy, please let me explain

Chapter 252 Loss
"."

The words fell silent.

Seeing the killing intent in Li Qingyan's eyes, Xu Yuan felt that he should be moved.

After all, for the sake of his fiancé, he even wanted to kill his own brother.

But for some reason, Xu Yuan felt very calm now, so calm that he even felt that Li Qingyan was playing him.

If it was Da Bingtuozi who wanted to raise his sword to chop Li Zhaoyuan, he would never doubt it, but Li Qingyan, well, she'd better forget it.

Although the two had met each other honestly now, even if Li Qingyan was willing to have a more in-depth exchange with him on the big red bed, whether Xu Yuan would believe her or not.

So for this question, Xu Yuan did not answer directly.

Glancing in the direction of the main entrance of the barracks, he asked with a smile:
"The news of Deputy General Cang spread so quickly? The battle just ended, and the Second Highness brought me here?"

Lieutenant General Cang's speed should not be as fast as Li Zhaoyuan's. Even if Li Zhaoyuan said that he borrowed external force to use the Dao Domain, it is at least a fake.

"It doesn't matter how Vice-General Cang informed me."

Li Qingyan shook his head slightly, staring at Xu Yuan, without any intention of skipping the topic: "The important thing is that my second brother really wants to kill you?"

"."

Seeing the persistence in Li Qingyan's eyes, Xu Yuan pondered for a moment, and the smile on his face remained unchanged:

"If I say yes, Qing Yan, are you going to kill my relatives for my righteousness?"

Li Qingyan frowned slightly when she heard the words, she seemed dissatisfied with Xu Yuan's ambiguous answer, she smiled slightly, and her answer was also ambiguous:
"Killing relatives in a righteous way. It is not uncommon in the history of my Li family."

"Not so"

Xu Yuan sighed quietly, his voice paused: "Qing Yan, our relationship should not have reached this point yet."

"Is the relationship still not enough?"

Hearing this, Li Qingyan glanced at himself, and asked with a smile: "What does the son-in-law think of this palace as a proper relationship?"

Xu Yuan met her gaze and smiled, but didn't speak.

Li Qingyan was really kind to him, to the point where he was so teased that he couldn't control it.

But the relationship between the two is not in place yet.

At least, it hasn't reached the point where he can kill her brother.

But the longest lesson those bad women taught him in the previous life is not to trust the acting skills of the bad women, especially when you don't know what the bad women are planning for you.

Seeing Xu Yuan's dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, the smile on Li Qingyan's face restrained, her eyes seemed to pass through the walls, and she saw Li Zhaoyuan standing at the door of the barracks:
"My son-in-law. I am murderous towards my second brother, but it's really not because my second brother wants to kill you."

"."

Xu Yuan's cheeks twitched.

kill second brother
Can this be said directly?
After a moment of silence, Xu Yuan chuckled and stared at Li Qingyan with great interest:
"You are straightforward."

Li Qingyan glanced at Xu Yuan with his crimson eyes, and his voice was as cold as in an army formation without any emotion just now:
"If you're lying, your son-in-law, with your intelligence, probably wouldn't believe me."

Xu Yuan asked curiously:

"If that's the case, then why are you angry, Qing Yan, because of this?"

"My son-in-law, what do you think will be the consequence of your death in Beifeng City?" Li Qingyan asked without answering.

"Ok?"

Xu Yuan doubted, thought for a while, and replied with a smile: "If I die in Beifeng City, my father will be very sad, and many people will die when he is sad."

Li Qingyan's pair of red pupils carried a touch of coldness:
"It is true that many people will die, but this is not important. The important thing is that there will be a crack in the cooperation between the father and Mr. Xu."

pause for a moment,
Li Qingyan stared at Xu Yuan, a dangerous light flashed in his eyes:
"My son-in-law, who do you think would want you to die in Beifeng City?"

Xu Yuan was silent for a few breaths, and spit out two words:
"Zongmen."

"Yes, Zongmen."

Li Qingyan smiled, but the smile between the red lips was as piercing as ice for thousands of years:
"So, my second elder brother must not have the intention of killing you. If he wants to kill you, it means that he wants to destroy the cooperation between Emperor Father and Duke Xu. It means that he has chosen to favor those sects by all means in order to fight for the throne."

"."

After the words fell, Xu Yuan's mood began to spread.

Li Zhaoyuan wanted to kill him, he had only thought about the heir of the Xiangguo Mansion before, but he hadn't thought about it so deeply.
If he really died in Beifeng, no matter whether the investigation finds out, whether Li Zhaoyuan did it or not, the blame will be on the royal family.

At the beginning, you, Li Yaoxuan, wanted to promise that I, Xu Yinhe, would send his son to your army in exchange for the trust of both parties, but now that he is dead, he died under your nose, give me an explanation?

And this cannot be explained.

The old man might be able to deduce that someone might be at work, but he couldn't be sure.

Because the Zongmen is indeed a thorn in the eyes of the royal family, but why not the Xiangguo Mansion now?

The two parties themselves are an alliance of mutual trust that is as fragile as glass, and his death, Xu Yuan, will become a pebble that smashes this glass.

think of this,
Xu Yuan raised his eyes, and looked at the stunning red dress in front of him with a slightly strange look.

Li Qingyan should not have as much information as him, and the time to know it is shorter than him.

hiss.
Why is this woman not only high in cultivation, but also so smart?
This makes him how to revive his husband in the future.
"Consort."

Li Qingyan's murmur interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.

He looked up.

Her crimson eyes were shining with stunning beauty:

"After the wedding, I will be Wu Yuan outside, and I will be Qing Yan at home. You don't have to think about revitalizing your husband."

"."

Xu Yuan's heart trembled slightly when he heard the words, and when a strange feeling gradually spread, he suddenly came back to his senses.

Staring at her soft eyes, Xu Yuan felt a little apprehensive.

Made, king game.

This bad woman is too dangerous.

He felt that those bad girls who experienced the information explosion in the previous life were not as high as Wu Yuan.

Wait, wasn't she pretending to be in pain and excited before?
If so.
Su Jinxuan, you are so shameful.

Concentrate your mind,

Xu Yuan raised his legs and said with a smile without haste:

"Qingyan, I don't really believe in promises. A promise that cannot be fulfilled can only be a shackle."

Translate, come to something practical, don't write a blank check, buddies don't believe it.

Li Qingyan snorted and laughed:
"Whether it can be realized, son-in-law, you will know after marriage."

broken.

Xu Yuan found out that as soon as she said this, he had already begun to look forward to this political marriage in his heart.

This is not a good sign.

Missing the good woman Da Bingtuozi twice, Xu Yuan suppressed the ripples in his heart, stared at her and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Qingyan brought the topic back on track:
"So, son-in-law, my second elder brother really wants to kill you?"

"It can only be said that it looks a bit like it, but there is no evidence." Xu Yuan replied truthfully this time.

"Really?"

"of course."

Xu Yuan spread his hands in a very lonely manner.

He really has no evidence, except for a small amount of information, and the previous inferences are all from behavioral logic.

The Zongmen warehouse was bombed by Qin Weijiu's people, but Su Jinxuan did not find out that Qin Weijiu had a connection with Li Zhaoyuan.

And when Li Zhaoyuan went to Dongcheng, it can also be explained by recruiting the army's morale.

All actions are impeccable.

Li Qingyan thought for a while, then suddenly asked:
"My son-in-law, you should have some information that I don't know, right?"

Xu Yuan denied without hesitation:
"No, all the information is with Lou Ji, and he only gave me a few ways to escape."

He does not intend to participate in this battle for the throne.

It's not that he's not interested, it's simply because the prime minister's father may have his own plans, and blindly participating in it without knowing it may destroy the other party's plans.

Chatting with Li Yunqing's sixth child before was regarded as a fire, and it was also regarded as a way out.

If the third prince really believed it, that promise would most likely become a blank check, and he would have to sell all of Lao Liukeng's underpants.

Li Qingyan took a deep look at Xu Yuan and sighed:
"Okay, I probably understand that I will not go out of the city again, you stay by my side, Li Zhaoyuan can't hurt you."

Seeing this, Xu Yuan smiled slightly.

If the second prince Li Zhaoyuan really wanted to kill him, he could only take advantage of Li Qingyan's chance to leave the city, but unfortunately his best chance had already been missed.

After putting on the standard commander's armor, Li Qingyan took Xu Yuan to the barracks outside and called Li Zhaoyuan in.

Xu Yuan was wearing personal guard armor, standing behind Li Qingyan as the door god, watching the two talking.

Li Zhaoyuan and Li Qingyan's way of getting along does not look like brother and sister at all, but a bit like superior and subordinate.

Li Qingyan expressed his thanks, Li Zhaoyuan humbly declined, and then arranged for Li Zhaoyuan the next series of matters concerning the defense of the city.

The two talked about city defense and military affairs for half an hour, then Li Zhaoyuan cupped his hands and went back to the government office.

After Li Zhaoyuan left, only Xu Yuan and Xu Yuan were left in the barracks again.

Li Qingyan was dressed in armor, sitting on the back of the chair, looking like a queen.

Xu Yuan stood behind her and looked at her, looking down in thought.

Sure enough, a beautiful person will find it pleasing to the eye no matter how long you look at it.

About two quarters of an hour later, after being notified, several captains entered the barracks one after another and handed over several files to Li Qingyan.

A very thick stack.

Li Qingyan didn't shy away from Xu Yuan who was standing behind her, and flipped through the pages openly and honestly.

The contents of the dossier are some statistics about Beifeng City.

As an important border town, Beifeng City is not as prosperous as those prefectural cities in Dayan. Most of the area is a military camp, and there are only about [-] non-soldier people inside, most of whom are family members of the army and some businessmen who come here to do business.

Counting the private chivalrous troupe and martial artists like bodyguards, the proportion of cultivators among the common people in the city is frighteningly high.

one third.

In other words, in the early [-]s.

Of course, this part is basically cannon fodder that has just entered the rank, or around the ninth rank.

Xu Yuan was looking at these statistics, when he suddenly heard Li Qingyan's indifferent voice:

"Captain Jin, come in."

After waiting for a few breaths,

A young man in school captain's armor trotted into the barracks, knelt down on one knee, fisted with both hands, and said respectfully with his head down:
"Your Highness."

Li Qingyan glanced at the data on the file, and said casually without raising his head:

"Go and send all the cultivators and apprentices in the city to the city wall to guard the city."

"." Xu Yuan

Captain Jin was obviously taken aback when he heard the words, raised his eyes, and said tentatively:

"Your Highness, if you act like this, I'm afraid it will provoke those people to rebel."

Low-level warriors who don't understand the military formation are cannon fodder on the battlefield. Against those barbarians, the battle loss ratio of ten to one is considered high.

People who have lived in Beifeng City all year round will not understand this.

Li Qingyan raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, without any emotion in his eyes:

"Rebellion? You go tell those frontier generals that the palace allows them to "hire" warriors from the city to help defend the city, and they will find a way to solve it."

Captain Jin hesitated a little, but did not speak any more, and cupped his hands:

"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately."

"."

Watching the Captain Jin leave, Xu Yuan suddenly asked:
"Wouldn't this kind of captured strong man run away?"

There was a touch of warmth on Li Qingyan's indifferent face, and he looked back and sighed:

"Yes, but we have to do it, otherwise we won't be able to defend the Beifeng City."

said,

She handed the next few files to Xu Yuan:
"Look at it."

Xu Yuan took these files and asked:

"Don't you see?"

Li Qingyan smiled slightly:
"My soul is not a decoration."

"." Xu Yuan.

Well, just now she was pretending to flip through the file just to show him.

When a bad woman does something, she will always let you know inadvertently.

And then add up.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, took it with a calm heart, and started to read, but as he browsed, he no longer had the heart to think about these messy things.

The previous ones were the statistics of various items in the city, but what Li Qingyan handed him was the losses in Beifeng City today.

Since the dawn of today, it took only two hours from the start of the war to the end of the war. 30 people in the city were killed and [-] were injured.

In order to concentrate energy to protect the city wall, Li Zhaoyuan removed the sky above the city, and the catapults of the barbarians threw countless boulders, ice picks and other equipment into the city without hindrance.

The buildings were destroyed, the ruins piled up like a mountain, and countless people who had just fallen asleep with anxiety were directly buried in the rubble.

And these are basically the casualties of ordinary people.

As long as the barbarian's throwing objects are not obstructed, as long as they don't get confused, it is not too difficult for a cultivator, even a cultivator of the ninth rank, to avoid it.

However, the casualties of the people in the city were only small, and the majority were among the current defenders of Beifeng City.

About [-] died, about [-] were missing, about [-] were slightly injured, and about [-] were seriously injured.

Looking at the word "missing" marked at the bottom, Xu Yuan opened his mouth, feeling a little ridiculous.

This disappearance refers to those soldiers who were directly beaten to pieces on the east wall?
If no bones are found, it is naturally considered missing.
Xu Yuan silently read all kinds of statistics, and handed the files back to Li Qingyan.

A total of 13 Beifeng defenders, more than half were killed in less than two hours
half an hour,

Xu Yuan asked:
"What about the losses on the barbarian side?"

heard,

Li Qingyan slowly stood up from the chair, leaned against the table, with red eyes sideways, and slender fingertips gently stroking the loose long hair, softly said:
"The barbarians have lost even more, but the barbarian king will soon receive the news of the 'cloud energy bomb'. We must immediately send the knight bodyguards in the city to consume their vital strength, so that we can defend this city before the elites of the sect return to the defense. North seal the city."
