The Sky-Measuring Ruler never appeared in front of the world again after Wu Shang's death, and this time Wu Shang is willing to take out the family heirloom as a reward for conquering Chaos Ruins, which shows that the situation is indeed serious enough to threaten the existence of Liyang Territory. And for the pioneers,
It is said that having the opportunity to obtain the cauldron is something that you may not encounter in several lifetimes, so even though you know that it is impossible to suppress the Hunhou Palace within a week, you still rush forward and join in it.
Pioneers have always been an important force in resisting wild monsters in Liyang. A large number of pioneers have gathered in Chaos Ruins, which will naturally lead to the deterioration of defense in other places. This city is protected by city walls, and the villages and towns adjacent to this city are not bad.
However, strange disasters have increased significantly one after another, and disaster reports are being sent to the city lord's mansion one after another.
However, the Dai city lord, who had anticipated this situation, immediately ordered Bing Cao Si to mobilize the city defense troops and disperse them into villages and towns. Although the city defense troops were not as elite as the pioneers, with their numbers and organization, Mr. Cao personally led the Yuqi battalion.
Patrol along the official road to support defense. There are still some sporadic disasters in a few settlements, but the overall situation has generally stabilized." Li Ru, a civil servant, reviewed the report from the Bingcao Division and reported to the acting city lord.
"This kind of stability will not last long. In two weeks, it will enter the active period. Without the intervention of the pioneers, the Liyang Territory will burn like a house on fire." Wu Yan's expression did not slow down, and he moved his right eye.
Go to the large map hanging on the wall.
The map details the towns and villages throughout the Liyang Territory. Small blue flags representing the defense forces were placed at each stronghold, while small red flags representing the pioneers were all concentrated in the city.
At a certain point in the southwest corner, that point is the Hunhou Palace that has turned into a ruin. The abnormal gathering of red flags on the picture is enough to illustrate the incomparable effect of the bounty cauldron.
Wu Yan silently stared at the place where the little red flags gathered on the picture, and then noticed the hesitant expression on the confidant next to him.
Li Ru has served in the Wu family since the ancestor Li Yanggong. The monarch and his ministers have known each other for many years and have a tacit understanding. Even if Li Ru doesn't speak Wu Yan, he knows what he wants to say.
"Li Ru, are you still opposed to using the ruler as a reward?"
"Please forgive me, my lord." The mustached scribe was quite straightforward and admitted with his hands raised. "Young people also know that extraordinary things should be done at times, but the measuring ruler is an important heirloom of the Wu family.
The descendants of the Wu family have inherited the Measurement Ruler from generation to generation, so it is quite inappropriate to casually declare it as a gift to outsiders."
At this point, Li Ru hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Wu Yan didn't seem to listen, he handed over the news again. "According to what I heard, there were even rumors among those desperadoes that were damaging to the lord's reputation..."
"Oh, does it mean that whoever gets the Heaven-Measuring Ruler will be recruited as the son-in-law of the Wu family?" Wu Yan's mouth curved, and his expression seemed unconcerned. "If you want to keep the Heaven-Measuring Ruler in the Wu family,
This is not a bad idea."
"What?"
"After my younger brother died, the only male in the Wu family was the old man. He had to find a man to support the family business. If there is a warrior who can suppress the Chuanxu Palace in a week, it would not be wronged for me to marry him. If I give birth to a few more young men, Wu
The family's incense suddenly flourished." The one-eyed female hero touched her chin thoughtfully, while the scribe over there was shocked.
"You, you really think so?"
"Of course I'm joking." Wu Yan smiled wryly and waved his hand. "Even if I want to get married, Wu Zhen should marry her. Compared to a fierce woman like me who wields swords and swords, she is a good daughter of the Wu family. If she hadn't been involved in family affairs
She would have been married long ago if she delayed... Although there is little hope, if the other party is really worthy of her, I will try my best to match her. "
"This, I think is a very good thing." Li Ru nodded vaguely.
"Sorry, the topic seems to have gone a bit far... Li Ru, please help me look at this." Wu Yan shook his head with a wry smile and put a letter on the desk. "This is written to the old man. Although I
I don’t think the situation will be that bad, but you have to be prepared.”
The old man is Duke Li Yang. Currently, Duke Li Yang is guarding the border of Li Yang at Jianguan Fortress. The relationship between father and daughter is not harmonious. It is quite rare for Wu Yan to take the initiative to write to Duke Li Yang, which also shows that the situation is serious enough that the two of them must be involved.
A point where direct communication is impossible.
"...That Rong Weichen is rude."
After Li Ru calmed down, he picked up the letter. The letter started with a formulaic title, and in it he briefly reported the fact that the Hou Hou Palace was desolate and destructive, and then turned into a Chaos Ruins. As for whether the Chaos Ruins could be suppressed before entering the active period, Xin Ru
The article did not give optimistic expectations, and mentioned that in the worst case scenario, Liyang Territory may have to face the threat of monster turmoil and Chaos Ruin disasters at the same time.
The military strength of Liyang City alone cannot cope with this situation. In order to protect the people of Liyang Territory, the Wuzu Battalion stationed at Jianguan Fortress may have to be transferred back to the city. The Wuzu Battalion is the most capable force in Liyang Territory.
, transferring it back to the city to assist in defense is essentially equivalent to giving up the Jianguan Fortress.
"My lord, is he going to be transferred back to the military camp?"
Li Ru's hand holding the letter shook violently.
Jianguan Fortress is an important border defense place run by the Wu family for generations. Li Yanggong has been working hard and training there for several years, hoping that one day he can avenge his son's murder on the stone monster tribe. You can imagine that once this letter is sent out, what will happen to the father and daughter?
A huge conflict will inevitably break out between the two.
"It's not that we should do it immediately, but we are just preparing for the worst case scenario." Wu Yan waved his hand and explained. "Jianguan Fortress's material supplies are all supported by Liyang City. If Liyang City falls into turmoil, then Jianguan Fortress will also be lost.
The foundation. Should we preserve the roots or the leaves? If the old man is not confused, he should know. At most, it will only lead to a big quarrel."
"My lord, you have worked hard for Li Yang, I know it very well." Li Ru whispered.
"Have you worked hard..." Wu Yan looked up at the corner of the map filled with red flags, with a self-deprecating arc at the corner of his mouth. "I would like to work hard for Li Yang, but it's a pity that that place is not a battlefield that I can intervene in.
The best I can do is hang the celestial ruler on the flagpole and hope that others will bring victory back."
There was suppressed anger in Wu Zhen's voice, and Li Ru felt a pain in his heart.
If it were a battlefield where the soldiers were heading, the one-eyed female hero in front of him would not be afraid of anyone. When Wu Shang was killed a few years ago, Duke Liyang also fell into depression. At that time, thieves from all over Liyang took advantage of the situation, and he was about to fall into it before his eyes.
It was Wu Yan who led the Yuqi battalion to attack immediately and defeated five bandit groups in three days, causing the Liyang rebellion to cease.
At that time, Wu Yan was blinded in his left eye by a stray arrow from a bandit soldier, but he commanded the Yuqi battalion with one eye and killed all the bandit soldiers. This also left the reputation of the "Tiger Girl of the Wu Family" in the surrounding territories. She has been known to this day.
The unscrupulous people who still shock their neighbors.
It's a pity that Chaos Ruins is a special disaster caused by desolation. Neither troops nor strategies can be used there. The only way is to organize pioneers to attack. As for when the results can be achieved, it depends on luck. For the one-eyed female hero who is accustomed to strategizing and commanding
Needless to say, it is extremely uncomfortable to feel that the situation is urgent but that nothing can be done.
Looking down at the letter in his hand, Li Ru couldn't help but sigh.
If Wu Yan was born a boy, most of Li Yang's problems would be solved, and the Wu family would surely usher in a glorious revival. It's a pity that Wu Yan is born a girl, and she has to get married no matter what.
Is it really possible to find a man who is domineering and talented?
Li Ru was deeply suspicious, and then there was a knock on the door.
