doomed in dream

Even though he was troubled by the situation, before analyzing the current situation, Chen Jiuqi had a question: If Qu Fengyang really came here for two years and worked hard, wouldn't her most direct means be to establish diplomatic relations in advance and arrange a joint defense or invite some powerful people to come over?

After all, in the world of comprehension, the difference in force between two large levels can completely counteract the unity of a low level: even thousands of qi refiners can unite to defeat a Golden Core cultivator head-on;

The gap between Zhuji and Yuanying is slightly smaller, but one hundred battles may not be able to stand the latter; Huashen sees Jindan and suddenly expands, more like the difference between a mecha warrior and a sparrow with guns, of course Thousands of sparrows and birds can peck out a gap and draw a piece of meat, but if the hunter pulls the trigger a little bit, it will cause a large number of casualties.

Therefore, it is necessary to partially overthrow the previous speculation. The new inference should be that not only did Qu Fengyang not know the time point of the story at the beginning, so he just rectified the city affairs step by step, it is even possible that he realized the book after seeing Chen Jiuqi and launching an investigation. The story line in the middle went straight to the crisis, and she actually didn't have any plans and backhands.

"When did you start preparing the array?" Chen Jiuqi asked the male monk.

"From last September."

The sister of the Chamber of Commerce added: "The payment for goods that came to Luzhong was confiscated before that, and there was no money left for defense."

"Did the city lord's mansion participate in the voting?" Chen Jiuqi asked this subconsciously, and then read out the answer he originally wanted to ask this question from the previous information, and realized that the formation board was normal armament. It is very likely that Feng Yang decided to abandon her virtual city construction just after learning about the plot.

"Well, the old account, most of the commercial goods, the city lord's mansion has a small contribution."

In fact, if Chen Jiuqi were to replace Qu Fengyang to save a city's military, she would not be able to achieve Qu Fengyang's original level.

There are many reasons for this. The most direct one is that she doesn't know how to fight and only knows a little about group warfare learned from Xianmen, which is not suitable for Nancheng's military force with stragglers and rogue soldiers.

Then, as shown just now, her sensitivity to information is too heavily tied to money-related matters, and it almost becomes a conditioned reflex. Such sensitivity will make her more constrained when considering military operations.

A commander who will consider the economic impact, no matter how much he empowers the economy, even if it is only equivalent to 5.00%, the optimal solution in terms of economy and military may not be directly effective in strategy, and if he is unlucky, he will fail .

Even if all these can be overcome, and think that Chen Jiuqi has always had more "leadership" than Qu Fengyang, but her leadership either crushes her subordinates in strength and naturally refers to where to fight, or it takes some time for her subordinates to trust her And goodwill.

Then Chen Jiuqi in the early stage of foundation establishment has no time to soften a group of strangers with charm, and those with the lowest cultivation level have no orthodox deterrence and the right to speak. If it weren't for Qu Fengyang's choice of subordinates, she would not talk about mobilizing them now. Where does the headache come from?

Taking advantage of strengths and avoiding weaknesses, Chen Jiuqi believes that Qu Fengyang did not hand over the city to her for the purpose of leading troops: "Brother Zhang temporarily organizes government servants to garrison in various streets, and agrees that if the signal is sent, he will immediately announce to lead the city residents and Merchants evacuated."

She turned to Miss Secretary again: "Please inform Duan Liu, let's hold a small meeting later, and explain the situation to everyone related to the military force that the city lord has entrusted, and everyone will assign tasks according to their own situations, especially the detective of the magic land. Take the lead."

Finally, I would like to ask the rest of the people present: "Please wait a moment, I will discuss the same important matters with you after the defense is over."

Although these "other people present" did not show any anxiety on their faces, the empty hall and the long silence finally made people feel a little uneasy after the few people who led the troops went to the inner room. When the person returned to the hall, he heard the female monk in the middle who was in charge of dealing with mortal trade and offerings say, "What does the city lord think? I haven't heard any rumors. Is there anything wrong with this envoy?"

But this group of people is really basically honest, so honest that they even seem to be rotten, making it hard not to suspect that they were hypnotized by Qu Fengyang to lie so flat, maybe this female monk has too much contact with ordinary people Still a little bit on guard, listen to another person's answer: "You think too much, the envoy has a token and passed the inspection of Secretary Fushan, so he is naturally a person trusted by the city lord.

And is there anyone here who loves the border town more than the Santo? "

Oh, it turns out that Miss Secretary's honorific name is "Chui Shan". Except for this information, which is somewhat useful, other words make people laugh and cry in the current situation.

Chen Jiuqi was really embarrassed to use the auxiliary instruments piled up on her by the sworn elders to perform "the wall has ears". When the voice fell slightly, she walked out before anyone else could speak: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time!" .”

Subconsciously, his eyes turned around, and he paused for a while longer at the mortal trading female monk and the person who had just demoted himself. The self-deprecated person was unexpectedly a younger female monk.

Chen Jiuqi chose a more serious demeanor: "The city lord explores the secret realm, Secretary Chuishan and Duanliu build a defense line for the border city. In fact, what they are buying is time. If we really want to turn the border city from danger to safety, we still need to rely on you."

The only vigilant female monk asked: "We made an agreement with the city lord that if the matter is really urgent, there are no other tokens, but the messenger always said that the situation is very urgent, is it a big deal?"

Although Qu Feng and Yang Zao said that the progress of Yan Ning's plot was clear, and there were at least a few days to recover from the discovery of the traces to the arrival of the magic repair army, but when Chen Jiuqi came to the city lord's mansion, he did not ask Chuu Shan to press him. Said clearly.

At that time, she felt that Fuishan was dogmatic, and when she clearly stated that she wanted to urgently defend and mobilize the military, Fuishan was still asking those time-wasting questions, but now it seems that it is no wonder.

Since Qu Fengyang did not give other tokens, the so-called emergency tokens must have different effects while avoiding these time-wasting processes, so Chen Jiuqi is also very rigid in answering this question——

"The city lord Deqi entrusted me with the city and thousands of miles of common people, and someone acted for it, not an envoy who just came here with an urgent token to deliver a letter."

After hitting this stick, you can give Tianzao. Chen Jiuqi still had a serious face after he was hardened, but his tone was much more gentle: "The city lord has also entrusted you. Now that the business is prosperous and the people live in peace, it can be seen that you have never failed Nancheng, and I naturally Don't dare to disappoint."

"Nancheng is a border town after all, and there are always demon cultivators who want to break the peace of recent years. The high-risk weapons obtained from the secret realm cannot be made by any shrimp, and what they want is a return that matches this danger.

Since the city lord has confirmed that there is a demon cultivator in the distraction stage behind, such a demon cultivator must have subordinate forces, and he will definitely launch a war as a weapon. Otherwise, what will it use to get back what it wants? "

This passage is more simple and simple than what I said to Yan Ning and the others at that time, almost everything that can be broken apart is broken apart, and the things that cannot be broken away belong to the "steps" that Chen Jiuqi would skip in his thinking, and she can't help it To put it in more detail, some of these people in the conference hall are really stuck on the "slightly", but they very much agree with the words "you have never let down the border city", and they are more active in cooperating with Chen Jiuqi's request, that's enough .

"The internal affairs of the city have been turned into a state of combat readiness, and Chuishan and Lao Zhang are in charge.

In order to prevent the spies of the magic cultivator from spreading the news, the border town has been closed and defensive measures have been activated, and the sound transmission can also be monitored. In exchange, I would rather kill by mistake than let it go. "Chen Jiuqi threw a "closed city" bomb at this time, naturally wanting to observe their reaction.

If you care more about your own business, you will worry about expressing a protest of "how one size fits all affects people's livelihood"; if you are a high-level spy, you must panic; Willfully mistrust yourself.

Ordinary trading female monks are the last one. Chen Jiuqi expected this, and of course he had written his words: "These days will be more tiring. We need to take the mission to the other two border towns, Lunan Fanguo and Luzhong. And the purpose is different. Whether the side of the country—please don’t refuse—can keep them away from the flames of war and prevent them from being displaced, it all depends on you.”

The mortal trading female monks softened their attitude, and only asked: "Is it really so serious?"

Chen Jiuqi smiled wryly at the right time: "Really."

Singing, reciting, making emoticons and words are all calculated. Apart from accurate judgment and sufficient thinking ability, what is required is not a deep city, but the consciousness of rehearsing it in the heart before speaking.

Urgency is the first aid, not to mention important occasions, how can it be "urgent" everywhere in most situations?For the "slow" people, if you want to deal with them well, you mainly rely on being cautious and thoughtful, and you should never rely entirely on on-the-spot reactions, and you have to think carefully about what you say.

Chen Jiuqi, who is proficient in using this set, looks like he is playing a game of abuse in front of the "honest people". After three or four cups of tea, except for the information left by Qu Fengyang brought back by Chuishan when he returned to the meeting hall, everyone present All the knowledge about the nearby forces has become Chen Jiuqi's knowledge, and these people's character strengths have also revealed a little bit.In this way, you can start to divide the pot, such as——

The things that are to be promoted in the ordinary world seem sudden and cruel to the people at the bottom for the time being. After all, how can there be no resentment for the people of hundreds of miles to leave their homes and fortify themselves before the war shows signs?

But no matter how deep this resentment is, is it as deep as the death resentment that destroyed the city all the way after the demon cultivator?Moreover, the latter will also be used by demon cultivators to cultivate and boost the strength of the enemy army.

As long as there is the former, there will already be people in the mortal upper class who use resentment and slander to obstruct profit-seeking. The mortal trading female monk with the most obvious personality is the first to be appointed to be in charge of the mission of the country, just because she is still a little vigilant against these intrigues, and she is more vigilant than others. The other "honest people" are more powerful, not only can order the common emperor, but also go down to the scene and personally supervise the evacuation of the people by forceful means when necessary.
