The funny counterattack of traveling through time and space and becoming a vicious female supporting

Chapter 161 On the eve of the first wave of direct conflict

Time slipped away like the sands of an hourglass, and the tense atmosphere in Nanyang Prefecture grew ever more oppressive, like a thick, dark cloud. Wen Yuan, Xinying, Gu Yichen, and Lu Ling'er were all like frightened birds, trembling with anxiety at the impending crisis. Listening to the hurried footsteps of the soldiers outside, Gu Yichen felt as if an invisible hand were gripping his heart. He knew the responsibility on his shoulders was as heavy as Mount Tai. The safety of his family and the future of his country, like a heavy burden, rested on their plans.

At the city defense camp, Commander Nie Yuan received an urgent report from Wen Yuan. Like an arrow shot from a bow, he immediately set off for the Nanyang prefect's residence. In their study, the two men conspired and discussed the impending battle, emphasizing the need for complete preparation. "Nie Yuan, reinforce the city defenses to the highest level!" Wen Yuan's words were as firm as steel, his gaze like an arrow piercing the clouds, as if he were looking out the window at the approaching enemy. He understood the significance of this battle: not only for his own safety, but also for the protection of every living being on this land.

Nie Yuan nodded firmly and responded: "I will mobilize all available troops to strengthen the defense of the city gates and defend them like a solid wall of steel. At the same time, I will also send out a reconnaissance team to closely monitor the movements of the Third Prince like an eagle's eye to ensure that information flows smoothly." In his heart, he prayed secretly, hoping that he could successfully overcome this difficult situation this time.

Meanwhile, Xinying, like a master carver, pondered the letter she was about to send. Every word carried her hopes and anxieties, like a glittering pearl, precious yet fragile. She took a deep breath and thought, "I must convey this information promptly. Not a single detail can slip through the net." If her connection with Feng Jingxuan could gain sufficient support, perhaps it would be like the breaking light of dawn, illuminating this darkness.

That afternoon, Wen Yuan handed over the previously sealed Xinglong Money House and Xinglong Pawnshop to Lu Ling'er and Gu Yichen, and ordered Xinying to accompany him as they planned to transform the shops into the "Wantong Money House." Gu Yichen felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Despite the dire situation, the support of his family gave him added strength. After receiving a personal letter from his son, Gu Yichen, Ji Yun immediately ordered his youngest son, Ji Junche, and his two daughters, Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin, to lead a team of managers and accountants trained by the Qingyun Pavilion to rush to Nanyang Prefecture to assist Gu Yichen and Lu Ling'er in handling the money house affairs. In Lu Ling'er's plan, Yun Ruolin was responsible for overseeing the operations of the newly established money house and ensuring smooth operations; Yun Ruoxi focused on fund management and allocation to stabilize the cash flow; and Ji Junche was responsible for liaising with local officials to gain further support and information. Gu Yichen agreed with this and thought to himself, "I must not disappoint them."

At Taoyuan Villa, Ji Yun and Gu Yazhu issued strict security instructions to all residents, ensuring constant vigilance to prevent enemy intrusion. Qingyun Pavilion, the guard group Gu Yichen mentioned, has existed for over twenty years and is renowned throughout the martial arts world. The Pavilion Master and his wife are both direct disciples of leading martial arts sects, their identities shrouded in secrecy, known only to the public. The Qingyun Pavilion's organizational structure is divided into four halls, each fulfilling its own responsibilities and working closely together to ensure maximum effectiveness in critical situations.

Xiaoyu, the leader of Fengying Hall, is responsible for transporting food to various strongholds and ensuring its safe arrival. Xiaoyu excels at using camouflage and secret passages, making his movements invisible to the enemy, as elusive as a shadow on the wind. He leads a group of resourceful and courageous men, skillfully avoiding enemy detection.

Ting Feng, the leader of the Thunder Hall, oversaw the storage of military supplies. Within the secret warehouses of Taoyuan Zhixuan and Jishitang, Ting Feng mastered the management and distribution of various supplies. Knowing that each item had a specific purpose, he meticulously planned and organized a series of reserve plans to ensure the swift delivery of needed supplies at critical moments. Ting Feng thought to himself, "This time, there must be no mistakes!"

Xinghe serves as the head of Xingchen Hall, responsible for communication and cooperation with other merchants. Xinghe's extensive network of contacts within the Jianghu makes him a crucial bridge between Qingyun Pavilion and the outside world. Skilled in leveraging his connections, he has successfully persuaded many merchants to join Qingyun Pavilion, providing strong support. Xinghe's thoughts raced, as he contemplated how to leverage these connections to further strengthen Qingyun Pavilion's influence.

The Netherworld Hall, a mysterious and powerful organization, is headed by Shadow. His mission is to gather and analyze intelligence, a crucial task. Shadow's mastery of concealment and disguise allows him to infiltrate the enemy unnoticed and obtain crucial intelligence. His wisdom and insight make him an indispensable member of the Netherworld Hall, constantly able to identify key clues in complex situations and formulate ingenious strategic plans.

At this moment, Shadow sat quietly in a dimly lit room, his eyes fixed intently on the map before him. He held a pen, occasionally marking symbols and lines on the map, while his mind constantly sorted out various possible scenarios. He knew that the outcome of this battle depended not only on military force but also on intelligence and strategic planning. Therefore, he must remain vigilant and pay attention to every detail.

Meanwhile, Qingyun Pavilion had already taken action. They had notified their ally, the Jiuyou Medical Sect, a secretive organization renowned for its medical skills. The Jiuyou Medical Sect and Qingyun Pavilion had always enjoyed a close partnership, supporting each other and jointly maintaining the balance of the martial arts world. This time, Qingyun Pavilion needed the Jiuyou Medical Sect's assistance, hoping they could send doctors to assist in treating the injured martial artists. Furthermore, due to the possibility of plague or poison, Qingyun Pavilion requested the Jiuyou Medical Sect provide appropriate medicines.
