Chapter 329: Reunion Night Talk

Yuan Chi was brought back to the new base in Heishan Prefecture.

His poison was cured in time and his wounds were treated with medicine, but he was still in a coma because he was too tired.

While he was asleep, two major events happened.

The first thing was that his only daughter Yuan Caiwei decisively became his apprentice and joined a martial arts sect, becoming the eighteenth-generation successor of the Longyin Swordsmanship.

Another thing is that the Montenegrin army arrived.

The weather has been much better than in summer these days, making it convenient to travel. The Black Mountain Army marched at the fastest speed and finally arrived in Chang'an.

The Black Mountain Army had 80,000 troops, while Tiele Khan had more than 100,000.

When the Black Mountain Army heard that the enemy had captured Chang'an City first, they set up camp in a hidden valley twenty miles away to allow the soldiers to rest.

They cannot act rashly, lest they alert the enemy.

Wei Dashuan and several trusted lieutenants arranged for the soldiers to rest in the valley.

Murong Di, Old Man Qin, Kong Wu, Qin Xiao and others rode fast horses to meet Hao Ren and others.

The new base of Heishan Prefecture was a farm ten miles outside the capital.

Zhuangzi covers a large area and is located in a secluded place, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side.

Zhuangzi has a quiet and peaceful name, Xianyunzhuang.

This was the shelter Ming Deng had prepared for his disciples. Although he was indeed living here with his disciples, there was still a group of noisy people living in the guest house.

Mingdeng and his disciples lived in the east courtyard, eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

The people from Heishan Mansion lived in the west courtyard, sharpening their knives.

When Murong Di and his companions arrived at Xianyun Manor, it was almost dark.

They rode on horses and waded through the stream in front of Xianyun Manor.

In the twilight, the people of Heishan Prefecture saw a very handsome young man dismounting from his horse, his clothes dyed red by the autumn sunset.

At the gate of Zhuangzi, Pei Shu's dress was also dyed by the rosy glow, making her look like a fairy in heaven.

Pei Shu looked at her son and for a moment she didn't dare to recognize him.

She thought of her son's childhood in the palace when he was forced to be timid and was bullied and ridiculed.

She never said it, but she always felt guilty towards her son.

After a few years, Di'er has changed a lot. Now he is very handsome, as handsome as Lingyun when he was young, but with a more awe-inspiring look.

"Di'er." Pei Shu and Dong Yue stepped forward.

Murong Di came over: "Mother, Sister Dongyue."

He grew taller, taller than his mother, with a strong physique and a heroic figure.

"Di'er, let me take a good look at you." Pei Shu stroked her son's face and pulled her son to look left and right.

Hao Ren also came over and said with relief: "Di'er has grown up."

While they were reminiscing about the past with Murong Di, Old Man Qin and Kong Wu happily surrounded Su Zhizhi.

Old Man Qin: "Our Zhizhi has grown so much taller, almost as tall as grandpa. Standing here with a whip in hand, he looks so imposing."

Kong Wu nodded excitedly: "Ah, ah!"

Su Zhizhi looked up at Kong Wu and sighed:

"Wow, I thought Brother Kong Wu was very tall when I was little. Now that he's grown taller and looking at him like this, he still seems so tall."

"Grandpa Qin hasn't changed."

At Old Man Qin’s age, he loves to hear people say that he hasn’t changed, and his mouth is almost grinning.

Other people from Heishan Prefecture also gathered around to reminisce about the past.

Qin Xiao looked at their lively appearance and missed home. He missed his incompetent son, his ambitious grandchildren, and his two fat great-grandchildren.

After finishing the serious business, he would go to the Qin family's farm outside the city that night to take a look.

Wu Yingniang said, "It's getting late. Don't stand outside. Let's go inside and talk."

After dinner, seven or eight people gathered in Hao Ren's room, discussing around a map of the capital, until late at night.

The Black Mountain Army is brave, but they are not divine soldiers. They are also human beings, with flesh and blood.

They have come here from thousands of miles away, and we cannot let our brothers die rashly.

Wu Yingniang: "After Tiele Khan captured the city today, there are probably less than 140,000 troops left. Some of them entered the city, and the other part was stationed outside the city."

Bai Xun: "We need to further explore the specific distribution of troops."

Qin Xiao: "In addition to the troops that have been sent to support the northwest and to the north to resist Tiele Khan, the Jiannan Road, Qianzhong Road, Jiangnan East Road and West Road are all heading north. Lao Wei and I have contacted the old subordinates in various places, so we won't have to wait too long."

Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan have seniority and experience, and all the famous generals in Dayu and other places were once their soldiers.

Hao Ren: "If we can gather troops from all over the country, our chances of victory will be much better."

Murong Di said, "Before the troops from all regions gather, we need to ascertain the enemy's situation. Furthermore, we might be able to seize their food and arsenals to disrupt their morale."

Since the time for a head-on battle has not yet arrived, let's use a sneaky approach first.

Qin Xiao nodded: "That's right. If the supply of food and munitions is cut off, it would be like a bird of prey breaking its wings."

Su Zhizhi glanced at the map and asked:

"Then can we secretly transport some of our troops into Chang'an City ahead of time? Then we can cooperate with them from inside and outside?"

Her finger fell on the map, sliding from the outskirts of Beijing to Heishan Prefecture.

As soon as Su Zhizhi finished speaking, everyone immediately turned around and looked at Old Man Qin.

Secret passage, sneak into the secret passage!

Old man Qin, who was picking his earwax, shook his head leisurely:

"Now you know that my Qin family's kung fu is very useful, right?"

Murong Di thought of the tunnel he had dug with his master:

"The tunnel that Master and I dug earlier is too narrow to be used by many people. If we want to transport troops, we need to expand it."

Old Man Qin blew away the earwax on his fingers:

"Then expand it. Just add a small team each time."

"I'll show you what it means to truly storm the imperial city!"
