At the same time, just as the counterinsurgency campaign in Fengdu City was coming to an end, Cao Ning did not dare to slack off at all outside the city.
He knew that internal troubles were important, but the Shui tribe with millions of troops outside was also a big trouble.
Once he sends troops back to the city to put down the rebellion, it is very likely that the Sihai Dragon Clan will take advantage of the situation.
The power of millions of Shui tribe cannot be ignored. Although the Shui tribe is temporarily frightened by Cao Ning, there is no guarantee that they will not take advantage of it.
Thinking of this, Cao Ning immediately arranged for the Yin soldiers to be stationed under Fengdu City, and he personally led 30,000 Xuanjia troops to guard in front of the two armies to prepare for any unexpected events.
"Report, Your Majesty, the scouts just sent out for investigation are back." ωωw.
While Cao Ning was busy analyzing the current battle situation, Xu Amber walked into the tent wearing heavy armor.
"What did you find?"
"There is indeed something strange!"
"Oh? Tell me!"
Cao Ning suddenly became interested!
He really wanted to know what was the reason that caused millions of water tribes to retreat without even firing a shot.
Xu Hubo looked suspicious and replied: "According to the scouts' report, the Sihai Tribe in front of our army didn't know what was going on. They actually ordered the swords and guns to be stored in the warehouse. Now millions of Aquatic Tribes are lining up with bare hands, and they don't know what happened.
What kind of calculations are you making?"
"Huh? When the two armies were fighting, they actually ordered the swords and guns to be put into storage?" Cao Ning felt incredible.
Xu Hubo nodded: "That's right. The scouts didn't know what was going on, so they withdrew first."
"It's strange, it's really strange! Are these old guys planning to set a trap for me to get through?"
Cao Ning rubbed his head and looked confused.
Apart from the other party trying to set a trap for him, he really couldn't figure out any other reason for the other party to show weakness.
"Forget it! Ignore them for now. Our army's top priority is to wait for the civil unrest in the city to calm down first, so that we can be free to deal with this seafood feast that has been delivered to our door."
Cao Ning thought for a while and then added: "By the way, I have prepared eight 150 mm caliber howitzers in front of the formation. You can find a few smart brothers to get familiar with them first."
"150mm howitzer?"
Xu Amber suddenly took a breath after hearing this.
When he fought against Chen Youliang's coalition forces, he had seen the power of the 105mm howitzer.
Now Cao Ning directly brought out the 150mm artillery, clearly intending to deal a devastating blow to the opponent.
Cao Ning nodded: "You can't blame me for that. If these old loaches come to you when they have nothing to do, you can't blame me."
"But the other side has not fought with our army, and even the weapons have been put into storage. If we act rashly, will we lose our excuse?" Xu Amber worried.
Although Chen Bing of the Sihai Dragon Clan is outside the gate, in the final analysis, they really have no intention of attacking, and not even a single person in the underworld was harmed.
If we take the initiative, it will obviously provide an excuse to create friction.
"What you said is not unreasonable. The reason why they didn't take action is because they didn't want to quarrel with the underworld. They were just waiting for us to take action first."
Cao Ning thought about it and decided: "If this is the case, then we should stand still. We don't need to be taken advantage of."
After hearing Xu Amber's worries, Cao Ning also roughly guessed the other party's intentions.
After all, the only ones fighting on the front line now are the Xuanjia Army under his command. If he starts a war without authorization, it will most likely be regarded as a unilateral action, and even be abandoned by the conservatives in the underworld.
At that time, as long as he says that this matter has nothing to do with the underworld, the crime of provoking a war without authorization will fall on him.
Just when Cao Ning was hesitating, a report suddenly came from outside the door.
"Report, report to your Majesty, there is an envoy outside who claims to be from the Southern Territory, and he wants to see you."
"Southern Territory?"
Cao Ning couldn't help but wonder when he heard about this place: "It's strange, I have never been in contact with the Southern Territory. How did they find me here? Forget it, let's meet first."
"Okay, bring him in first!"
"Here!"
After a while, Gui Li, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, was brought to Cao Ning.
Cao Ning looked at the man having sex in front of him and frowned: "You want to see me? Do we know each other?"
"Mr. Cao really treats guests well. Isn't it appropriate to ask questions like this?"
Gui Li looked down at the ropes tied around his body and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
As the saying goes, the two armies are at war without killing the envoy, not to mention that the Southern Territory has always remained neutral and cannot even be called an opponent. It is indeed too much to tie him up like this.
“Whether it’s suitable or not is up to me!”
Cao Ning rolled his eyes and hummed: "You can go to any temple and recite the sutras. This is the rule here. If you don't want to, then I will have to drag you down and behead you."
"What, behead?"
Gui Li opened his mouth wide and looked at Cao Ning with a confused expression.
What's wrong with this man? Why do he want to kill people as soon as he comes up?
"No...why do you kill me? What will happen to me?" Gui Li Cuo said in astonishment.
Cao Ning raised his head and snorted coldly: "Is it okay to see that you are unhappy?"
"look..."
Gui Li was immediately stunned and speechless!
I had long heard that Guitu acted unconventionally, but I didn't expect him to be so eccentric.
Gui Li took a deep breath and said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. I just want to ask you, do you still want the Fourth Prince Long?"
"You mean you have that little loach in your hand?" Cao Ning was a little surprised.
Gui Li became proud at this moment: "Hmph, as long as you agree to my master's conditions, I guarantee that the Fourth Prince Long can come back alive."
"What conditions?"
"You can hand over the design drawings of the ak47, or give me a sample!"
"What!!!"
When he heard that the other party actually reached out his hand to his treasure, Cao Ning slammed the table angrily on the spot and stood up with wide eyes.
This scene really shocked Gui Li!
With Cao Ning's reckless character, he might really go on a killing spree out of anger.
"You, you, you, don't get too excited. My master said that business cannot be done in a righteous way. At best, we should not have any contact with each other until death."
"We have been together forever and ever? It turns out that the person who kidnapped Little Loach is from your southern region."
"Then, if we don't rob him, he won't be alive now!"
"So you are here to negotiate terms with me now?"
Cao Ning's face immediately darkened, and with a wave of his hand, a bronze sword appeared.
Looking at Cao Ning's cold eyes, Gui Li's heart rose to his throat.
Is this guy really angry?
"Fuck... why didn't anyone tell me that this kid is so extreme... Hey, hey, don't come over, don't come over, if you kill me you won't get Moang."
"I... do you still want the Water Tribe to retreat... Damn it, why are you still coming to me... No, we have to discuss it, we have to discuss it..."
Facing Gui Li's advice, Cao Ning couldn't listen to a word, and the bronze sword he clenched tightly emitted a faint aura.
Seeing this, Gui Li's back was wet with fear.
"Calm down, thief Cao... I tell you, if you kill me, my master will not spare you... Damn it, why are you still here!"
"Okay, come on, if I frown, I'm a stepmother."
"Yes, some people are still alive after death, and some people are already dead when they are alive... Death is heavier than Mount Tai, and lighter than a feather... A true warrior dares to face the bleak life, and dares to face the dripping blood.
...I am not afraid of being shattered into pieces...I will leave my liver and gallbladder intact..."
"Damn it, why are you still here... Damn it, forget it, come on then!"
Seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, Gui Li suddenly felt despair, so he immediately closed his eyes and raised his neck, waiting for the knife to fall.
But after waiting for a long time, Cao Ning never came to take action.
When he opened his eyes again, he realized that the rope binding him was broken.
