"What's going on?" Zhou Xingyun came to the front yard. Almost everyone from the Wulin League was there.
To be sure, Bai Banxie and others had been discussing matters in the hall. They did not stop the meeting until recently when a group of homing pigeons flew over.
When Zhou Xingyun and others arrived in the front yard, six or seven homing pigeons had landed around and cooed. He Qinghai had a gloomy look on his face and stared at a small roll of paper in his hand.
When He Qinghai heard Zhou Xingyun's question, he was silent for five or six seconds, and then he said five words solemnly: "The border has been lost."
As soon as He Qinghai finished speaking, two people hurriedly ran in outside the entrance of the Wulin Alliance Hall.
"No! Something big happened!"
"Master! An urgent message has come from our master!"
They were both members of the Jianghu sect in the southern border. They had just received an urgent report from the sect, so they rushed to the entrance of the Wulin Alliance Hall in a hurry.
Wuwei City is the most prosperous capital city in the Southern Territory. The slightly famous martial arts sects in the Southern Territory have all set up branches in Wuwei City.
Today's Wulin Alliance Hall is actually the branch of Chongming Pavilion.
Zhou Xingyun, Qiu Zhenxi and other martial artists from the Shangjing Sect all live in the hall of the Wulin Alliance.
Sun Fangjin, Bai Banxie, Sun Tong and other members of the southern sect lived in the branch of their own sect. They would only gather at the entrance of the Wulin Alliance Hall during meetings.
The urgent news brought by this Grandmaster's sect, the carrier pigeons were all flying to the branches of various sects in Wuwei City, so the Yinlongju disciples and the disciples of the First Palace, after receiving the news from the flying pigeons, immediately ran to the Wulin Alliance Hall
Kou, report to Sun Fangjin and Bai Banxie.
There is only one message they convey, and that is 'the border has been lost'.
Now Zhou Xingyun finally understood why there were so many homing pigeons and homing falcons flying towards Wuwei City.
"You also discovered an army of foreign invaders over there?" He Qinghai looked at Bai Banxie, Sun Fangjin, Yang Dixi and others in surprise.
"Yes, there are quite a few troops..." Yang Dixi nodded solemnly.
"According to the eyeliners in the First Palace, there are 30,000 people in the direction of Shikun Mountain alone." Sun Fangjin frowned. Due to the limited weight of the carrier pigeon, the letter returned very little information. He only knew that there were 30,000 unknown people.
The foreign troops from across the country crossed the southern border and were operating near Shikun Mountain.
"Seventy thousand." Bai Banxie's face turned pale as he squeezed out a number from between his teeth.
First Palace, Yinlongju, Chongming Pavilion, Lanmu Xianzhuang, etc., almost all the famous sects in the southern border have built their own branches near the southern border.
One is to do business with foreign merchants, and the other is to prevent foreign forces with ulterior motives from invading the Central Plains.
As mentioned above, the southern border is different from the northern border. There are no natural dangers or checkpoints to guard against enemies. It is a flat area.
Just relying on the patrol of the Zhennan Cavalry Corps will definitely let some fish slip through the net, so all factions in the rivers and lakes will set up their own areas of influence in the border areas to check the movements of foreign invaders.
To be honest, the behavior of various factions in the Jianghu is actually illegal and illegal. Their behavior is no different from trying to dominate the mountain.
However, the situation on the southern border is very special. The southern sect has set up 'outposts' in some key areas, which can indeed provide protection for ordinary people in the surrounding areas.
At the very least, when the foreign invaders invaded, there were warriors who informed the local people and asked them to flee quickly.
Having said that, with the border lost this time, the dilemma facing the southern border of the Central Plains is obviously more severe than ever before.
This is not the first time that foreign forces have invaded the southern border, but the previous times their troops usually did not exceed 30,000, and they only attacked from a single direction.
In the past ten years or so, the Southern Dynasty has invaded the Central Plains. The largest invasion only dispatched 60,000 people, advancing from two directions.
As for now, First Palace, Yinlongju, Chongming Pavilion, Lanmu Xianzhuang and other Jianghu sects have all received urgent reports. What does this mean?
This shows that the invading enemy troops consisted of at least four groups, heading in four different directions to invade the southern border of the Central Plains.
"You bastard! We're still too late..." He Qinghai shook his hand angrily, and the note in his handshake was immediately crushed to pieces by his angry grip.
A few minutes ago, He Qinghai and others were discussing passionately in the hall how to destroy the plans of the bandits from the Southern Region to invade the Central Plains.
The senior leaders of the Wulin Alliance are very lucky, because they all feel that they have obtained first-hand information and can stop the Southern Dynasty's plan to invade the Central Plains in time.
From the letters reported by the Southern Barbarian warriors to their superiors, Bai Banxie and others could see that the Southern Territory Dynasty had penetrated in and was secretly brewing a big storm.
The people of the Wulin Alliance felt that they only needed to gather heroes from all walks of life and rush to the villages in the Southern Territory to take a preemptive strike and prevent the Southern Territory Dynasty from planning a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains.
Even if the Southern Dynasty refuses to give up, their plans will be disrupted by the Wulin Alliance.
By then, the Wulin League will naturally become a national hero that everyone expects.
However, before He Qinghai and others were happy for a while, strange phenomena occurred outside the house, with overwhelming carrier pigeons flying everywhere.
Immediately afterwards, the news of the fall of the southern border and the massive invasion by foreign invaders was like a bolt from the blue, awakening the senior leaders of the Wulin Alliance who were dreaming.
Now is not the time to discuss how to build up the reputation of the Wulin Alliance...
He Qinghai and others synthesized the information received by various factions in the world and came to a shocking conclusion. The Southern Dynasty had dispatched at least 180,000 troops, crossed the southern border, and invaded the hinterland of China.
Several Jianghu sects located on the southern border were attacked by foreign invaders and had to abandon their sects and move to the rear.
Although Bai Banxie, He Qinghai and several other elders from the southern sects all wanted to use the martial arts alliance to seek benefits for their sects, and they kept showing Zhou Xingyun's face in private. But now, the situation they need to face is no longer just their sects.
The question of the interests of the door.
180,000 foreign invaders are attacking, and if they are not handled properly, the country may be destroyed and the family may be destroyed.
If the above situation really comes to pass, it is hard to say whether the martial arts sects in the southern border can survive this disaster, let alone interests or not.
Now He Qinghai and others are anxious and angry. If they can find out the real culprit who killed the hostages earlier, and know earlier that the Southern Dynasty has the idea of invading the Central Plains, they may be able to hinder their plan, and the southern border will not be affected.
As for complete loss.
He Qinghai, Bai Banxie and other senior officials of the martial arts alliance probably never imagined that they thought they had obtained first-hand information about the Southern Dynasty's invasion of the Central Plains, but in fact it was information that was already out of date.
How could Master Wu Feng share such important front-line information with the Wulin Alliance? He is not Sun Tongtong, and he has not betrayed the Great Dynasty.
The Holy Scorpion Dynasty was ready and began to take action. It was only after Wu Feng took the seat that he revealed the news to Sun Butong.
Sun Tongtong thought he had obtained a treasure and reported it to He Qinghai and others. However, it was too late. Even if the Wulin Alliance knew about the conspiracy of the Holy Scorpion Dynasty, they were helpless at this time.
The whole situation has been decided, and the Wulin Alliance has just learned the news, so what's the point?
"What are you doing here?" At this moment, Bai Banxie suddenly glared at Zhou Xingyun fiercely.
At first, Zhou Xingyun was confused. He didn’t know what kind of disease this old guy had and why he suddenly glared at him. Until Bai Banxie added: "This is a serious matter and there is no need to delay. We will prepare the forces on the road and collect the information together."
The information has arrived, you should go to Prince Nan’s Mansion quickly and see what’s going on with Zhennanqi!”
Bai Banxie wanted to know the situation on the Zhennan Cavalry side. Hundreds of thousands of troops were attacking. How could the Zhennan Cavalry Corps stationed in the territory not have any news?
To be honest, Zhou Xingyun also felt very confused at this time, even though Mu Ya had just mentioned that many border villages and towns were occupied by foreign forces from the Southern Territory.
But he was still very surprised when he learned that the southern border pass had been lost. He didn't expect that things would deteriorate so quickly.
Now Zhou Xingyun could only go to Han Qiumiao to see if he could get more clear and reliable information from the forces in the Southern Palace.
Qiu Zhenxi saw that Zhou Xingyun turned around and left without saying a word after hearing Bai Banxie's words. He couldn't help but yelled seriously: "I hope you understand that this is not just a grudge between Jianghu and Jianghu."
"Ha..." Zhou Xingyun couldn't help but laugh: "I have always been a sensible person, but I'm afraid you don't understand."
Zhou Xingyun felt that he had been very restrained towards the people of the Wulin Alliance. Bai Banxie, He Qinghai and other people from the Jianghu sect in the south had not given him a good look until now.
If it were Xiao Qiuqiu who came to the Wulin League to entertain these picky old guys, with her bad temper, she would have overturned the table and left long ago.
Zhou Xingyun originally wanted to go directly to the Nanwang Mansion to talk to Han Qiumiao, but before he could go out, someone came outside the Wulin Alliance Hall.
When Cao Cao arrived, Han Qiumi, Xu Zhiqian, Wuchanghua, Isabel and others rushed to the entrance of the Wulin Alliance Hall to find Zhou Xingyun.
When Princess Yongming arrived, Bai Banxie and others had to go out to greet her. The senior leaders of the Wulin League wanted to invite Han Qiumiao to the hall to discuss important matters, but Han Qiumiao asked them to leave directly.
Han Qiumiao bluntly told Bai Banxie and others that she had very important things to do today and had to talk to the Marshal Zhenbei Cavalry alone. Those who were not important, please leave.
The wording used by Han Qiumiao when he mentioned Zhou Xingyun was that he was the Grand Marshal of the Zhenbei Cavalry. From this, we can imagine the seriousness of the situation.
Zhou Xingyun did not speak from the standpoint of a Jianghu man, but from the standpoint of the King of the Northern Territory.
However, Bai Banxie and others can understand Han Qiumiao...
To be honest, everyone knows deep down that there is a traitor in the Wulin Alliance. If Han Qiumiao wants to discuss vital state secrets, of course he cannot let the Wulin Alliance or the people in the world listen.
Although their common goal is to fight against foreign invaders, the trust between the imperial court and Jianghu forces has not yet reached the level of intimacy.
When Zhou Xingyun saw Han Qiumi and Xu Zhiqian, for some reason, his heavy shoulders lightened up, and he couldn't help but let out a big sigh of relief.
This feeling is similar to that when the brain, which is overloaded by too much information, can finally get rid of the messy thoughts and take a break.
Quoting Zhou Xingyun’s heartfelt words, Qiu Miao! Zhi Qian! I miss you so much! Now I can finally think about countermeasures without thinking!
