The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Xiaohe County, Qingyuan City, County Magistrate's Mansion.

"Second brother, third brother, I believe you know why I summoned you here, right?"

Inside the meeting hall, there was a tall and thin middle-aged man. His cheeks appeared slightly fat, but he had a very inconsistent goatee, which made his face look particularly abrupt.

However, the aura on him is deep and majestic. He is Wu Xiao, the prefect of Xiaohe County, the son-in-law of Li Linpu, the prime minister of the current Song Dynasty, and the sixth-ranked powerful man on the Song Dynasty Divine Machine List.

There were two men sitting on the left and right sides respectively. Their faces were similar to Wu Xiao's and their aura was not weak either. The slightly older man on the left was Wu Xiao's second brother, Wu Kui, who was the mayor of Guiyun City in Xiaohe County and had the cultivation level of a fourth-grade junior grandmaster.

The tall and thin man with fair skin on the right is Wu Xiao’s third brother Wu Bushie. His cultivation is stronger than that of his second brother Wu Kui. He is at the level of a sixth-grade junior grandmaster and guards Baiyun City.

"Is it not for the state guardian who is touring the country? I have received accurate information that he not only arrived in Liuchang County, but also killed the county governor Yang Qingxiang, and almost all the officials in the county were killed. A few days ago, I also received an announcement from Liuchang County that he wanted to select talents to serve as officials in the counties of Liuchang County."

As the lord of Guiyun City, Wu Kui was no ordinary person. They were all Wu Xiao's right-hand men. Liuchang County was not far from Xiaohe County, so the news spread quickly.

He knew his elder brother Wu Xiao's character very well. If it wasn't an urgent matter, he would never personally call both brothers to Qingyuan City.

"I really want to experience the abilities of this state guardian. I've heard that he's very good at fighting. I'm really looking forward to it."

Wu Buxie sat there, his voice a little hoarse, and there was a hint of disdain in the depths of his eyes.

"Third brother, you must not underestimate the enemy. This state ruler is definitely not an ordinary person. My father-in-law sent a message half a month ago. If this state ruler wants to come to rectify Xiaohe County, he ordered us to be fully prepared. If we don't attack him, we should keep our troops in place. If we do, we must be quick, accurate and ruthless and kill the opponent completely. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

Wu Xiao frowned slightly. He knew very well that his third brother had great talent in martial arts and fighting since he was young. At the age of only 37, he had already entered the realm of a sixth-grade junior grandmaster. Looking at the entire Song Dynasty, he was definitely one of the best, so naturally he was arrogant.

"So, big brother, do you want to take action? Or not?"

Wu Bushi asked bluntly.

"Third brother, you don't understand. If the eldest brother didn't intend to take action against Ye Feng, why would he summon the two of us? He only needs to send you and me to greet the King of the State along the way. After the inspection, he can't find any evidence of our crimes, so he will naturally leave."

Wu Kui was much older, so he naturally seemed much more experienced, and he spoke immediately.

"If we allow this state ruler to come and inspect Xiaohe County, he will inevitably kill people all over the place, first in Changlin County, then in Dongyou County, and now in Liuchang County. His purpose is very simple. He must want to reshuffle the power of the various counties of the Great Song Dynasty and regain control of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Over the years, the three of us brothers have worked so hard to make the Wu family gain a foothold in Xiaohe County, and to make our once small Wu family the most powerful family in Xiaohe County. Moreover, we are so close to Prime Minister Li Linpu. Based on my understanding of this state-guarding monarch, he will definitely not let the three of us go easily."

When Wu Xiao first learned that Ye Feng was going to tour the world in place of Zhao Qiuyan, he went to Jinling City in person to meet his father-in-law Li Linpu and learn about Ye Feng from him.

He knew the character of his father-in-law Li Linpu very well. He would never praise someone so much easily. But Li Linpu felt that Ye Feng's actions were very powerful. He was frustrated many times and he was so angry that he saw Ye Feng becoming more and more powerful and was about to suppress him, a powerful minister who once covered the sky with one hand in the Song Dynasty, but he could do nothing.

After staying in Li Linpu's mansion for only one night, he hurried back to Qingyuan City and began to arrange city defenses and think about how to deploy them.

From Li Linpu's mouth, I learned that Ye Feng likes to win by surprise in battle, using cavalry's roundabout outflanking and surprise attack. Since Ye Feng likes to win by surprise in battle, and he also likes to win by surprise, he is a little excited and expectant in his heart. He is particularly happy to meet a worthy opponent.

"Since big brother said so, we might as well take the initiative and keep the life of this king in Xiaohe County." Wu Bushi's face showed a fierce look and he said in a gloomy voice.

"That's right! What Third Brother said is exactly what I want to say. He who strikes first will gain the upper hand, and he who strikes later will suffer." Wu Xiao stood up and pointed at the map of Xiaohe County hanging on the wall. He saw many places marked on it and said, "Come and take a look at the map of our Xiaohe County and the pincer attack formed by our three cities. I plan to send people to welcome the King of Zhenguo to Xiaohe County, but set up ambushes and traps along the way."

"He only has 5,000 cavalrymen with him. If he can't charge, he will just sit there and wait for death. When the time comes, the three of us will lead the army to charge out and surround him. That will be the end of his life."

"Brother, will this state ruler trust us easily?"

Wu Kui knew that Wu Xiao’s idea was a good one, but he raised objections.

If it was Ye Feng, the state guardian, who did not come with his cavalry, how could he set up ambushes and traps in advance?

"It doesn't matter whether he believes it or not. The three cities of our Xiaohe County are all located on high ground, overlooking each other and forming a pincer attack. The only way to get from Liuchang County to Xiaohe County is to cross the Qingyuan Mountains. There is no other way, unless he gives up coming to Xiaohe County."

Wu Xiao pointed at the Qingyuan Mountains between Qingyuan City and Baiyun City. His finger was pointing at a canyon in the middle of the mountains. That was the most dangerous place in the Qingyuan Mountains, called the Ghost Wolf Valley.

"Brother, do you want to set up ambushes and traps in Ghost Wolf Valley?"

Wu Bushi asked.

"That's right! Ghost Wolf Valley has a steep and rugged terrain, narrow roads and dense jungles. Cavalry can't charge at all. As long as we set up some traps, we can definitely cause heavy losses to Ye Feng's 5,000 cavalry. If he dares to come to Xiaohe County again, it will be his death."

Wu Xiao had a sneer and a sense of pride on his face. He knew every inch of the terrain of Xiaohe County like the back of his hand. He wanted to see how Ye Feng would deal with the dead end in front of him.

"Haha... I'm not good at giving advice anyway. I'm only good at leading troops to fight. I'll follow my brother's arrangements in everything." Wu Kui laughed. He has always admired Wu Xiao's plans.

"Second brother, you don't have to go out at will. Your mission is to defend Guiyun City and deploy the city defense and troops properly. Don't let Ye Feng take advantage of the situation. Don't let him seize Guiyun City. The three of us brothers can be in a high position and use the geographical advantage and military advantage to play Ye Feng in the palm of our hands."

A confident smile appeared on Wu Xiao's face. In his opinion, everything was under control.
