Chapter 550 Jin Lier plans to hold a seven-city meeting

Zhang Qianyuan was still unconvinced and said, "That's just on the surface. Bi Ye has some complaints about He Cang who is entrenched in our Xiao Tu Shan. Their people even threatened to cross the Jieyun Pass and flatten Xiao Tu Shan! Although this He Cang is a bandit, he is in the territory of our Jinyang City after all. It is not Bi Ye's turn to control him!"

Jin Lier frowned and asked, "Go through Jieyun Pass and flatten Xiao Tushan? Who said that?"

"Who else could it be? It's Yang Luo from Beicheng Army!"

"Yang Zhongjun? When did he say this?"

"Humph, this guy has said it more than once or twice!"

"Master Zhang, how did you know that?"

"Some time ago, I arrested a bandit from the Red Forehead Gang. That man said he heard Yang Luo say this himself."

Jin Lier pondered for a while and said, "Those bandits have relied on the complex terrain of Xiaotu Mountain to occupy it for more than two hundred years. Moreover, each bandit leader is very capable, which is why they have escaped our city's suppression dozens of times. I heard that the commercial goods shipped from our city to Bicheng are often robbed by them. No wonder Yang Zhongjun and his men are angry. In order to avoid grudges between the two cities, we should get rid of those bandits one day."

"Then they can't say things like they will destroy Xiao Tushan through Jieyun Pass. The pass is an important place between the two cities, how can they just pass through it if they want to? What's the difference between that and invading our city?!"

"General Yang Luo is a man of bold and unrestrained character, and he probably said those words in anger to scare people. General Bi Ye is even more of an open-minded hero. For the sake of the relationship between the two cities, I think he will never plan to suppress the bandits in my Jinyang City."

Zhang Qianyuan said anxiously, "My lady, you have only been in charge for a short time. Don't be fooled by the appearances of outsiders, especially a spirit like Bi Ye whose six senses are not complete. You can never guess with common sense!"

When Chu Xiaomu heard him insulting General Bi Ye, he couldn't help but feel angry and couldn't help but refute him.

Jin Li'er and Bi Ye had met once and had exchanged letters several times, so they had some personal relationship. She couldn't help but frown when she heard Zhang Qianyuan's words. But this Zhang Shangren was her father's confidant after all, and he was also the number one martial arts master in Yunying Hall. She had to take his face into consideration and couldn't scold him here.

Huang Wu Baoguan saw that Jin Li'er's face was not right, and hurriedly said: "Master Zhang, don't be angry. Bicheng was breached by the Red Soldiers, and Bi Ye led all the people and soldiers of Bicheng to escape to the west bank of Kunhe River. He was willing but unable to wipe out the bandits in Xiaotushan."

Qi Changshu nodded and said, "Even if he still has the courage to come, we at the Golden Sword Sect are not afraid of him."

Zhao Xiantong said: "Yes, although Bi Ye is very capable, he can only tie with General Xuan at most, and there is no way he can be a match for my master!"

Jin Lier smiled and said, "I feel relieved with your words, Zhao Jinwei."

……

Chu Xiaomu listened to them arguing about trivial matters and stopped talking. He thought that no matter what Jin Wei said in a while, I would not be able to have any say in it. I suggested that you unite with other cities only for Xuanying's sake. If you don't listen, then there is nothing I can do.

Jin Li'er thought for a long time and said, "In my opinion, what Lin Jinwei said about joining forces is somewhat reasonable. It is said that more than 200 years ago, several large cities in Cangmu Kingdom signed a pledge. The general idea of ​​the pledge is that if the cities in Cangmu Kingdom encounter an invasion from other countries, they should put aside their disputes and unite to face the outside world. The Red Soldiers first broke through Bicheng a few months ago, and then marched towards our Jinyang City and Yutuo City. Our city defended Jieyun Pass, while Yutuo City retreated again and again. If Yutuo City is broken, the Red Soldiers there may turn around and attack our city. In this way, Cangmu Kingdom is now in a critical moment. If we can find the pledge, it may be the best strategy to achieve what Lin Jinwei wants."

Huang Wu Baoguan said: "The Sha Shen clan in Xihai City may still have a copy of this oath, but the copies in other cities may have been lost long ago. I'm afraid there are not many people in the world who still remember this."

Jin Lier nodded and said, "I asked my father about this as well. He said that our Jin family's share was burned down in a fire that happened in Tiankun Castle decades ago. It's such a pity."

Sun Zicao suddenly asked, "My lord, how many people know that the oath book was burned?"

Jin Lier said: "My father said that this matter was handled very secretly. He was still a teenager at that time. Now no one except him should know about it."

Grandson Cao said happily: "That's easy."

Everyone asked him how it was solved.

Sun Tzucao smiled and said, "Since no one has seen it, why don't we make one ourselves? What's the difficulty?"

Everyone immediately started arguing again. Zhao Xiantong said that it would be useless even if they did it, and other cities might not listen; Zhang Qianyuan said that they must not forge the oath, and if it was known, it would make Jinyang City lose its credibility in the world; Sun Zicao said that this might be the only way to make the seven cities of Cangmu Kingdom form an alliance again, and they should try it anyway.

Huang Wu Baoguan said, "It's easy to make a fake one, but it's not that easy to make one that even the Shashen clan can't tell is real or fake. The Shashen clan has a strange personality. If they knew that we used a fake oath to trick them into coming here, I'm afraid there will be a big mess."

Jin Lier said: "Don't be afraid, I have my own way."

After discussing for a while, they finally decided to send invitations to Xihai City, Baijun City, Bicheng, Anfeng City, Yancheng, and Yutuo City of Cangmu Kingdom in the name of the oath written more than two hundred years ago, and hold a seven-city meeting in Jinyang City half a month later to discuss how to deal with the Red Soldiers.

Chu Xiaomu thought, you guys sent invitations to all the major cities in the name of the oath, how come you forgot about the Beast Mountain? Although there are not many soldiers in the Beast Mountain, the beast spirits there are not found in the major cities here. They are good at walking in the spirit realm, which is very useful when the two armies fight.

Even if the Beast King and Master will not leave the Beast Mountain, they have so many capable beast spirits under their command, and each of them is probably as capable as you martial arts masters who are at the fourth and fifth realms of the Force.

However, he couldn't tell anyone about this, otherwise people would ask him why he mentioned the Beast Mountain and whether he knew any beast spirits. It would be difficult for him to justify his lie that he was from Qingyuan.

Xuanying had been listening to everyone's arguments and seldom participated in the discussion. After Jin Lier decided to convene the Seven Cities Conference, he directly told them the arrangements for the military affairs at Jieyun Pass. Two silver lieutenants, Shi Yuantai and Zhou Tenghu, were to lead 2,000 soldiers each to quickly reinforce Jiang Gupu's Huangyu Army. They must hold the pass on the south side of Jinyang City and not let a single red soldier pass.

Chu Xiaomu thought that Xuanying was decisive and resolute in his actions, and was indeed a talented general, which was a blessing for Jinyang City.

I also thought that You Ganzhan was still imprisoned by Jin Lier. He was Xuanying's elder brother, but Xuanying had never asked Jin Lier for him. Such cruelty made people even more frightened. Before I left Jinyang City, I had to find a way to rescue this good man. He was imprisoned because of me, and I couldn't just ignore him.
