Chapter 434: Answer to Dur City
Wanyan Wuji glanced at a few wooden-armored men and nodded at them.
"You guys go back first and wait."
The few men in bronze armor did not dare to hesitate and had to get up and leave.
Gulijia was the only one left at the scene, being stared at eagerly by Wanyan Wuji.
"Master General, we failed this time. We were caught off guard by the Qingshui Army."
Wanyan Wuji waved his hand: "Do you need to tell me that? Just tell me your solution."
Gulijia did not dare to neglect.
"Sir, why did this defeat happen so quickly and so tragically?"
"Yeah, why do you say that?"
"Where did the deputy steward and the two silver-armored masters go?"
Wanyan Wuji thought for a moment and said, "Wanyan Qingtian is missing, and Wendihan and Bilan have been imprisoned by me."
Gulijia blinked and said, "Sir, have those two silver armors been released?"
"We left in a hurry, and I don't know what happened to them."
"My lord, if you can't even release them in time, I'm afraid no one else will either."
"you mean..."
Gu Lijia clapped his hands and said, "Yes, they have been captured by the Qingshui Army."
Wanyan Wuji frowned: "So what?"
Gulijia didn't say anything, just looked at Wanyan Wuji and laughed.
Wanyan Wuji pondered for a moment, but didn't think there was anything wrong and still looked confused.
Gulijia lamented in his heart, the emperor sent such a fool, how could he not be defeated?
"Master General, someone has to take the blame for this defeat."
"Ok?"
Wanyan Wuji's eyes rolled around twice, and finally became brighter and brighter.
"Hehehe...good boy, you have a good brain. As expected, someone has to take this heavy blame for me."
The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Although he captured both Wendihan and Bilan, it was too late and the Qingshui Army took advantage of the opportunity.
Therefore, they had long been colluding with the Qingshui Army and plotting to frame the Tiezhen royal family.
Wanyan Wuji imagined the whole incident in his mind and then refined the details.
After a while, he felt that what he had figured out was basically consistent with the facts.
This is not fake at all, it is clearly true.
"Alas, as soon as I arrived at the Zhenxi Camp, I was ambushed by the Qingshui Army. They attacked from both inside and outside, putting me in a desperate situation. Humph, Wanyan Qingtian is also responsible. I must report him to the Emperor and demand an explanation."
Wanyan Wuji said viciously.
Gulijia nodded quickly: "Yes, sir, you must give an explanation."
"Well, boy, this is Gulijia, right? Well done. Follow me from now on."
"Thank you, Lord Steward."
Gulijia was also happy because the person in front of him was a powerful figure with a respected status in the Tiezhen royal family.
I have been working hard for several years to get Silver Armor, and now I think there is hope.
He struck while the iron was hot: "Master General, after we rest again, we must enter Dadur City as soon as possible to be safe."
The city of Dadur mentioned by Gulijia is a city about 270 to 280 miles away from here.
It is also the first earthen city on the border of Tiezhen.
"why?"
"Sir, Lin Feng is cunning and scheming, and often acts unexpectedly. If we stay here for too long, I'm afraid..."
Wanyan Wuji shook his head and smiled, "There's no way Lin Feng would cross the border and enter Tiezhen's territory. He doesn't have the guts."
Gulijia asked in confusion, "Sir, why is this?"
"That kid's equipment won't work on our vast grasslands. When it comes to horseback riding and archery, how can he compare to the warriors who grew up here?"
"Sir, where should we go?"
"Wait here for three days. When the scattered troops have been gathered, we can slowly head back. We can't go to Zhenxi for the time being."
Wanyan Wuji said dejectedly.
Although he found an excuse for his defeat, he could not avoid bringing shame upon himself.
Luocheng, Prince Fu’s Mansion.
Prince Fu Zhao Zheng looked at the battle report in his hand with a gloomy face.
Lan Yu, the military advisor of the former Border Army General Cui Yong, has now become the chief counselor in front of King Fu.
He was good at observing people's expressions and when he saw that King Fu looked unwell, he knew that the battle report was not good news.
The leader of the Black Scarf Society, Miao Changfeng, has always been by King Fu's side.
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other silently, neither daring to speak.
After a moment, King Fu threw the battle report in his hand onto the desk.
"Useless thing, it's a waste of my money."
Lan Yu reached out and took the battle report from the desk and glanced at it.
He then turned around and handed the battle report to Miao Changfeng.
"Your Highness, Shen Zhongying is just a gangster. How could he take on such an important task? It's only natural that he failed."
King Fu didn't say anything.
Miao Changfeng felt a little embarrassed, after all, he was his subordinate.
"Your Highness, this Lin Feng is a bit strange. It is said that he can use the thunder from the sky to strike the top of the head and split the statue of the Virgin Mary."
Lan Yu laughed and said, "It's just a legend. If you can use the heavenly thunder, you can become a land immortal."
The King of Talismans said disdainfully, "You keep playing tricks all day long. Aren't you also masters of this?"
Miao Changfeng quickly changed the subject.
"Your Highness, what should we do about Zhenxi? Lin Feng was able to unify the entire Zhenxi area, and his strength cannot be ignored."
"Just have the people of Dingyuan Prefecture guard the border and prevent the Qingshui Army from causing trouble."
Lan Yu also added: "It's just a remote and poor place. Let them mess around. Once we take over Kyoto, we can come back and deal with them."
Miao Changfeng's face looked heavy.
"Grand Master Wan Quan is quite capable. The fact that Lindu has been under siege for so long is worrying."
Prince Fu slammed the desk and said, "Let your Black Scarf Society's assassination team sneak into Lindu and kill this old thief."
Miao Changfeng grinned, "Your Highness, we've already tried, but that old thief was very cautious and lost two high-ranking assassins. We failed."
Lan Yu sighed, "This old guy is very difficult to deal with because he won't give in to any tricks or threats."
King Fu didn't care about that. He waved his hand and said, "I'll give you three days to kill him for me!"
After saying this, he flicked his sleeves and went into the inner hall.
Only Lan Yu and Miao Changfeng were left looking at each other.
At this time, Lin Feng had led 20,000 Qingshui troops and penetrated more than a hundred miles into the Tiezhen border.
There are endless grasses on all sides, which look like a green ocean with undulating waves.
Apart from the occasional vulture in the sky, there were no other living creatures.
Empty, boundless, and quiet.
Even if Lin Feng had a map in his hand, he didn't even have a reference point. How could he identify the route?
Despite Nalan's advice, Lin Feng still prioritized safety.
He made another preparation in advance. He asked someone to find a magnetic plate and made a simple Si Nan himself.
Although not precise enough, it is not far from large size.
Many people who have seen this thing know that it is used to explore Feng Shui.
Who would have thought that it would be used by Lin Feng to identify directions.
With the Si Nan, their travel speed remained normal and they could walk more than a hundred miles a day.
Soon, three days later, a khaki city appeared before their eyes.
According to the map markings of Wendihan and Bilan and the introduction of Nalan.
This is the first city before the Tiezhen border, Dadur City.
The area of Dadur City is about the same as that of Bin County in the west of the town, but the city walls are much smaller.
The entire city's outer wall is built entirely of loess and is less than two meters high.
This is because it is located on the national border, so the height of the city wall was increased.
Also because there is a lake here.
Tiezhen people built this city here, similar to the border town west of Dazong Town, as a military base to guard the border.
