Chapter 729: Formation

The so-called formation is derived from the Fuxi gossip, the most basic is the art of the five elements of the gossip, the jade family is proficient in the formation, the jade hopeless is the best among them, the wind Changqi who taught it, and the attainment of the formation is also very profound.

The entire cloud capital, sandwiched between two mountains, is the natural barrier of the royal city, two years ago, Feng Changqi and Yu Wuwang together, for the cloud capital to arrange an easy to defend and difficult to attack formation, even the army of the cloud capital, have learned a special formation, the most good is the word long snake formation, even if there are only 5,000 people and horses, can protect the water of the cloud capital.

However, no matter how clever the formation is, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and the loss of Yundu two days ago has made everyone sound the alarm.

"It stands to reason that it relies on formations and natural terrain.

Yu Wuwang and Feng Changqi once did experiments, wanting to capture Yundu from the outside, even if it was 100,000 horses, it would take at least half a month, but Yundu was destroyed in just one month, and now they don't know the situation in Yundu, even if they want to use the formation to attack Yundu, they are now constrained.

Yu Wuwang nodded, now they were blind to the current situation in Yundu, and they should not act rashly.

Feng Changqi pursed his lips and looked at the map quietly, this map was two years ago, and the collapse of Huashan would also have an impact on the formation that existed before Yundu.

"Wait a minute." Feng Changqi trotted to the garden, and asked someone to shovel two large buckets of sand and pile them in the middle of the huge plates.

Feng Changqi poured a little water into the sand to make the sand better condense. Then she used the sand in the tray to build a small Yundu according to the terrain of Yundu in her memory.

Yundu is a boxy city, flanked by towering mountains, if you want to pass, you can only enter and exit from the front and rear two main gates, Feng Changqi pointed to the outer gate: "If you want to capture Yundu from here, you can only use the tactics of the sea of people." ”

Yu Wuwang looked at the sand table made by Feng Changqi in admiration, this thing is more obvious than the map, Yu Wuwang thought about it along Feng Changqi's train of thought, and said: "Maybe, it didn't fall from here." ”

The rebellion of that day came quietly, Yueqing was removed in the morning, and in the evening, Bai Huan was assassinated, and when Bai Huan was rescued, it was already the next morning, that is, at this time, the news came that the clouds were broken.

Yu Wuwang lightly tapped the gate facing the royal city, and said coldly, "The rebels may have fought from the royal city. ”

When they had arranged the formation for Yundu before, they had only considered external enemies, but they had not thought that the threat might be coming from within.

Feng Changqi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Impossible, their men and horses must not have been fought out of the royal city." ”

The formation involves the whole body, even if they are not specially arranged here, but the biggest advantage of Yundu's one-word long snake formation is that it is flexible enough, and if something happens somewhere, the army can be transferred in less than half an hour.

Moreover, the royal city was overcrowded, and there were simply not so many troops to hide, and their men and horses, most likely, were hidden in the mountains.

"But the terrain is dangerous, how are they ......" Yu Wuwang had a little headache, and there were 50,000 rebels, as if they suddenly came out of the ground.

Yueqing shook his head and said, "It's unlikely that it's on the mountain." They originally wanted to drop the Empress Bao, if this strategy was not disrupted by Venerable Yuan Zhen, it could be said that it was foolproof, and they had been preparing for this plan for a long time. ”

is also said that they had no intention of rebelling, but because of the failure of Bai Huan, they could only raise an army to rebel, Feng Changqi clenched his fists, stared at the sand table, and did not say a word.

Yu Wuwang looked at her state, a little worried, and said softly: "Think slowly, don't worry." ”

"I see." Feng Changqi's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table, knocking down a big mountain on the side of Yundu, Feng Changqi had a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, grabbed a large handful of sand from the side, first restored the mountain to its original state, and then erected a sharp peak between Yundu and Wangcheng.

This mountain peak is the Huashan that has collapsed, Feng Changqi breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked, "Master, if there are enough workers, can Huashan be dug through?"

Yu Wuwang was stunned for a moment, and also slapped the table, why didn't he expect it.

A few years ago, Huashan was just an ordinary mountain, although from time to time there would be Jianghu people competing on the mountain, it was also considered a group of harmony, but ten years ago, someone accidentally dug up the white marble in Huashan, this Huashan turned out to be a mountain full of jade mines, merchants and workers flocked to it, even if Bai Huan issued an order not to overexploit Huashan, but the huge Huashan, or in five or six years, was dug and collapsed.

This speed has been curbed, and if it is mined with all its might, a peak of Huashan's size will be dug up in less than two years, let alone just digging a hole in the middle.

If those two mountains were indeed dug up, there would be traces of the source of so many soldiers and horses.

Yu Wuwang looked at Feng Changqi like a treasure, endured and endured, but couldn't help but hold Feng Changqi's face and kiss it fiercely on the left cheek.

"Master......" Feng Changqi blushed, and Yue Qing cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Okay, now let's discuss what to do." ”

What they have to do now is to find a way to investigate whether the peaks on both sides of the cloud capital have really been hollowed out as they guessed.

Feng Changqi pursed his lips and said, "If you want to open up a mountain, not only do you need a huge amount of manpower, but most importantly, you need enough gunpowder, we can find the merchants in the city and ask." ”

This is indeed a good way, and they don't have to take risks, Yu Wuwang didn't hesitate, and immediately called someone to invite the president of the Wangcheng Chamber of Commerce.

The moat vein outside the royal city connects the entire cloud capital, and the royal city is not only the place with the highest consumption, but also the center of the operation of the entire Meng Li caravan, so now as long as there is a chamber of commerce, you can find records.

The door of the chamber of commerce's base camp was locked, and Yu Wuwang knocked on the door, and after a long time, a very young man came out, dressed in white.

Yu Wuwang frowned, I hadn't heard that the Chamber of Commerce had started to hold funerals, Yu Wuwang asked, "Your president can be here"

"Returning to the National Teacher, the president passed away five days ago." The subordinate whispered.

It turned out to be such a coincidence, Yu Wuwang asked in a deep voice, "Dare to ask why the president died?"

The subordinate pouted: "It's not the end of the year, the president went to other cities to settle the accounts, but when he came back, he encountered robbers, not only was the silver taken away, but the carriage was also burned, and of course our president couldn't run away." ”

Sounds reasonable, Yu Wuwang groaned, "The account book of the Chamber of Commerce is still there"

"No, the president has the ledger with him, the carriage has been burned, and the ledger has also been burned."

It seems that this clue was directly broken, Yu Wuwang did not believe in any coincidence, and the president's death was mostly premeditated.

However, there must be a lot of shady things in the huge Chamber of Commerce, and it is not certain that the president was destroyed because of the explosives' ledger.

Hearing the news, Feng Changqi's face cried and mourned, and Yu Wuwang patted Feng Changqi's shoulder: "It's not to the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, don't be discouraged." ”

"I know, but I always think we're unlucky." Feng Changqi muttered, but she didn't stay decadent for long, but gave an order to have someone thoroughly investigate the death of the president.

For a while, I couldn't find any clues, and at this time, the notice posted at the gate of Wangcheng had already recruited several people from the rivers and lakes.

"Your Royal Highness the Imperial Daughter, there is a whole sect outside to take refuge, how to settle it?"

Feng Changqi tilted her head, a whole sect came to take refuge, it was indeed a rare thing, after thinking about it, she said, "Call them in charge." ”

Half an hour later, a young-looking man walked in from outside the main hall, wearing a Taoist robe, his hair was neatly tied behind his head, and his posture was as tall as a proud crane.

This makes Feng Changqi even more strange, like this kind of pretentious Jianghu people, it is rare to be able to be a "lackey of the imperial court", this sect is called Xuanyin Gate, she has never heard of it, but this head looks quite stylish.

"The head of the Xuanyin Sect, Gongsun Tianheng, has seen Her Royal Highness the Emperor." Gongsun Tianheng's voice was cold, and Feng Changqi didn't call up, so he kept throwing himself to the ground in a regular manner.

Feng Changqi bowed his head, and asked without sadness or joy: "Dare to ask Dao Chang, why do you want to come to the imperial court?"

Gongsun Tianheng raised his head and looked straight at Feng Changqi: "Don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Emperor, Xiaodao wants to ask to see the Nameless Venerable." ”

"What is your sect's mastery" Feng Changqi did not directly agree, but changed the topic and asked.

Gongsun Tianheng pursed his lips: "Most of the disciples of Xuanyin Sect are women, and they are good at confusing others with music and rhythm......" Saying this, Gongsun Tianheng's face was a little red.

Feng Changqi raised his eyebrows, this Gongsun Tianheng looked dignified, and he turned out to be a person in a cult, which was really strange.

"However, Her Royal Highness the Emperor can rest assured, fifty years ago, after the current head of the Xuanyin Sect was in charge, the entire sect had been unable to escape from the world, and he did not do anything to cause chaos in the dynasty." Gongsun Tianheng said a little nervously.

It seemed that what he said was true, and Feng Changqi asked playfully: "I can help you introduce the Nameless Venerable, but what can you do for me Meng Li in the Xuanyin Sect?"

Gongsun Tianheng whispered: "The man of Xuanyin Gate is the best spy in the world, and he can hear any news you want to know for His Royal Highness the Emperor. ”

"Okay, I want to get the army distribution map of Yundu by tomorrow morning."
