I'm Actually The Big Villain In The Book

Chapter 651 "Mr. Ruyi Scepter"

next morning.

At the end of Mao's time, the 3,000 Heavenly Dog army who had carried out the second round of "bombing" returned safely to the mountain temple.

A total of 8,000 barrels of gunpowder were lost in the sneak attack last night, which was all of Liangzhou's current black gunpowder reserves.

The Heavenly Dog army killed more than a hundred people, most of whom were accidentally shot down.

The Jue Ji Allied Forces suffered at least 100,000 casualties.

Before the official battle started, the army lost one-eighth of its personnel overnight.

Such a loss is not insignificant, and it also made the originally aggressive coalition forces become frightened for a while.

They didn't know if the Heavenly Dog army would repeat the old tricks, but the frightening power of the black powder still forced them to make the most cautious response.

Since the time of Chen, the remaining 700,000 people stopped marching, set up camp at the same time, and occupied all the peaks within a radius of tens of miles at an extremely fast speed, to prevent the recurrence of the sneak attack.

On the other hand, all kinds of giant arrows and crossbows that were originally intended to be used for siege were also arranged around the camp, becoming powerful weapons against the Heavenly Dog army.

Undoubtedly, the two rounds of bombings last night made Jue Ji's coalition forces in turmoil, and now the goal has become "seeking no merit but no fault".

Conquering Liangzhou is a matter for the future, and the first thing to do now is to ensure that too many people will not die under this powerful gunpowder.

There is nothing wrong with this response when the enemy's situation is unknown.

But unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dog army did not pursue the victory.

Instead, the 400,000 Daning troops in Liangzhou City were suddenly dispatched, and arrived near the Shanshen Temple two days later, and began to build fortifications on the Wangnan Peak line.

So far, only three days have passed since the "Xianchi Raid" battle, and the situation of the Liangzhou war has undergone tremendous changes.

Although the front lines of the two armies are separated by several snow mountains at this time, they cannot see each other.

But the straight-line distance between the two is less than a hundred miles.

This means that no matter which side decides to go to war, its army can be killed in front of the other side within a day.

At the same time, this also means that the battle in Liangzhou has been earlier than expected, and has entered the final moment that could be detonated at any time.

Will they fight?

In the eyes of most people, this question is not worth discussing.

After all, not only did Wei Changtian capture Yan Huanwen alive, he even used a surprise attack to almost wipe out the entire vanguard of Jue Ji's coalition army.

The latter item alone has intensified the conflict between the two sides to the point of irreconcilability, not to mention that Dajue had been preparing for this big battle for a long time.

Therefore, the immediate question may only be "when to fight".

but

On February 13th, the sixth day after the "Surprise Attack on Xianchi", the third day when the two armies confronted each other in the Tianshan Mountains.

In the middle of the night, an old eunuch came out of Dajue Palace and quietly found the envoy stationed in Dajue by Zhan Shifu in Daning.

The latter, surnamed Jia, was just about to go to bed at that time.

But before he took off his clothes, he saw several men in black standing behind him at some point.

"You, who are you guys?!"

"If the two countries are at war, don't kill the envoy! Don't be fooled!"

"."

"Master Jia, our family came here by secret order, please forgive me for being reckless."

Glancing at the livid envoy, the eunuch in black bowed his cupped hands.

"I want to chat with you, His Royal Highness."

"please."

"Xianping, how did you meet Miss Song?"

Outside the city of Liangzhou, there is a company battalion of the Shu army.

It was already late at night, but there was still a light in a certain tent.

Chu Xianping was flipping through some information sent back from Dajue in front of the table, while Li Zimu was sitting opposite, studying ink and asking with great interest:

"Tell me, it's no secret!"

"What kind of person is she?"

"."

There is no doubt that the "Miss Song" Li Zimu said was Chu Xianping's real wife, Song Li.

Song Li was met by Chu Xianping in Fengyuan's brothel, so the latter was naturally unwilling to elaborate on this matter.

Seeing that he was silent, Li Zimu immediately guessed something.

"Xianping, is Miss Song from a bad background like me?"

"Ok."

Chu Xianping hesitated for a moment, then whispered a word.

"I redeemed her body for her."

"."

The meaning of this sentence couldn't be more obvious, Li Zimu couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then sighed in a low voice:

"Then she must be pretty."

"yes."

Chu Xianping still cherishes words like gold: "Very beautiful."

"Compared to me?"

"this."

"Hehehe, it looks like she's prettier than me."

Li Zimu's eyes were bent into crescent moons, and his tone was a little teasing: "No wonder you married her!"

"I didn't marry her because of her looks"

Chu Xianping shook his head with complicated eyes.

"Her father owed gambling debts and was unable to repay, so he sold her to a brothel."

"I saw that she was pitiful, so I redeemed her body."

"I thought that was the end of the fate between us, but who would have thought that she would find me later."

"And then"

"And then Miss Song will agree with her body."

Li Zimu interrupted suddenly with a smile: "You don't dislike her, so you agreed, right?"

"."

Looking up at the smiling Li Zimu, Chu Xianping nodded.

"Yes, that's about it."

"I'll just say it."

Li Zimu shook his head triumphantly, and then said softly and meaningfully:

"Miss Song really found a satisfactory husband as she wished."

"."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Chu Xianping naturally heard the meaning of Li Zimu's words.

From the latter's point of view, the reason why Song Li married him was not because of any "feelings", but because of the wealth and power he displayed at that time.

"Miss Li, it's getting late!"

For a moment, Chu Xianping's face suddenly turned cold: "If you are fine, please go back, don't send it away!"

"Hmph, I know you don't like to hear it"

Li Zimu was not annoyed at seeing that Chu Xianping was about to chase him away suddenly.

She pushed the prepared ink table to Chu Xianping's hand, then stood up by herself, muttering softly:

"Anyway, what I said is true or false, you should know it best."

"."

Taking a deep breath, Chu Xianping didn't speak any more, just lowered his head and pretended to look through a few secret letters.

In fact, he had already sensed something was wrong with Song Li.

After the two got married, within a few days, the latter proposed to do business like Xu Qingwan, saying that he wanted to find something to do.

Chu Xianping naturally obeyed her, and even ordered the Freemasonry to help her more secretly.

Later, Song Li's business became more and more prosperous, and he made a lot of money.

But at this time, she was no longer satisfied with just being a wealthy businessman, and she wanted to join the Freemasons again.

Chu Xianping had discussed this matter with Wei Changtian before, but the latter was too lazy to take care of it.

In the end, Chu Xianping did not really allow Song Li to join the Freemasonry.

But even so, Song Li still relied on her status as the "wife of the rudder master" to do some "bullying and dominating the market" things.

It's not too serious, but it also caused complaints from all walks of life in Shuzhou City

The candlelight swayed, reflecting a slender figure.

At this time, Li Zimu had already walked to the side of the curtain, ready to lift the curtain and go out.

Looking at the back of the former, Chu Xianping felt very complicated.

He knew what Li Zimu said was right, so he felt a little guilty about his attitude just now, and opened his mouth to apologize.

However, before he could say "sorry", an urgent voice came from outside the tent.

"Master Chu!"

"Young Master Wei, please go to the state government office to discuss matters with Miss Li immediately!"
