Chapter 748: Did you raise a wild man?
Facing the gods, Huo Xiao did not hide anything. "The situation is not optimistic. The last time the Northern Rong attacked the city, there were 40,000 Huo family soldiers in the city, all of whom were experienced fighters. Even so, they only managed to hold on. The entire Pingyang City almost fell."
"Although my father died in the battle, it also consumed a lot of Beirong's troops. I took advantage of the situation and killed a general to avenge my father. Beirong temporarily retreated, but it was not because they did not have enough troops, but because they wanted to surround and kill the Huo family army."
"The Huo family army has not received any reinforcements, but the Beirong have been increasing their forces. Now that they have returned, they must have made every possible preparation. The vanguard has already sent 100,000 troops. A rough estimate is that the total force will not be less than 300,000!"
"Their target is not only Pingyang City, but also the entire Wei State, and even Qi and Lu! This severe drought is the best opportunity for them to annex the Central Plains!"
"The people in Wangdu City are obsessed with power struggles. The Regent and Gou Xun are fighting each other, and all the civil and military officials are forced to fight. It's a mess! They don't even think about it. If Pingyang City can't be defended and the Northern Rong invade Wangdu, how can they live a good life!"
"The Huo family army didn't have to fall into such a tragic situation, but they withheld military pay and food, and now there are only 20,000 people left, including the new recruits, there are only 30,000. Even if everyone fights ten people, it is still not enough! In the final analysis, fighting a war still depends on people."
The bronze mirror was very intelligent. Only Ji Yunhuan could hear the sound it sent. Ji Yunhuan sighed and whispered:
"People are like this. They only focus on the gains and losses in front of them. If they win the fight, they will be rich and powerful. Naturally, they will do anything to achieve their goals. As for the life and death of Pingyang City, it is too far away from them. They don't feel the pain unless the knife cuts their own body."
"It's not impossible to fight one against ten, or even one against a hundred. Just hold on for a while, and when the explosives arrive, we'll kill them all in one go! But you still have to figure out how to use this thing. Only by catching them by surprise can you achieve the greatest effect."
Huo Xiao thought of the scene he saw in the video. With a loud bang, tall buildings collapsed in an instant, and moving mountains and blowing up the sea were no problem at all.
However, he also understood that this thing was not easy to do. The gods had already helped them a lot, and they could not rely solely on the gods. Even if they were outnumbered, the Huo family army would fight to the death to defend Pingyang City.
Huo Xiao bowed towards the bronze mirror and said, "Thank you, God! I will definitely defend Pingyang City."
"Originally, the Goddess Temple was going to be built soon. I started preparing for the sacrificial ceremony, but the Northern Rong people came, so the matter has to be put on hold. Currently, conditions are limited, so I can only carve a statue of the Goddess out of wood. Can you ask the gods to give me a portrait?"
Huo Xiao was a little nervous. He had a selfish desire in his heart and wanted to see the face of the god. After thinking about it, he thought that this was the only way.
He had always been too embarrassed to speak, but now that the war was imminent, he finally mustered up the courage.

An Tong knocked on the toilet doors one by one, shouting Ji Yunhuan's name loudly.
When Ji Yunhuan heard the noise, she hurried out holding the bronze mirror. An Tong rushed over, pulled her to look left and right, her face full of worry.
"I called you but you didn't answer. I thought you fell into the toilet. Why did you stay in the toilet for so long? Are you feeling unwell? If you are not feeling well, drink less. They just haven't seen you for a long time, so they like to fool around!"
"Forget it, I won't play anymore. I'll take you back."
Ji Yunhuan carried the bronze mirror on her back. She had a backpack customized for the mirror so that it wouldn't be conspicuous when she carried it out.
She shook her phone and said, "It's muted, I didn't hear it. I'm fine, just a little dizzy from drinking too much. I can go back by myself. We agreed to stay up all night, I broke my promise, please come back next time."
An Tong was still worried, "Let me take you there, and we can sleep together tonight."
Ji Yunhuan didn't dare to sleep with An Tong. She had to keep an eye on what was happening in Pingyang City. If An Tong saw her talking to herself in front of the bronze mirror, she would definitely take her to see a psychiatrist.
"No need, I'll have my bodyguard pick me up, nothing will happen."
"So many friends are waiting, how can you run away as the host? Your boyfriend is here, so clingy, I don't want to steal his love."
An Tong turned around and saw a handsome blond and blue-eyed boy leaning against the wall, winking at her. His collar was wide open and his chest was stained with wine. He looked like a peacock with its tail spread out, flirting with her crazily.
But he was tactful enough not to come over to disturb her. She didn't like ignorant men.
An Tong said dissatisfiedly: "Huanhuan, you have changed! It's not like I haven't had a boyfriend before. You were not like this before. When I said I wanted to go to your house, you were always very happy and never rejected me!"
An Tong moved closer to Ji Yunhuan. She was a little taller than Ji Yunhuan and was wearing high heels. She almost pressed Ji Yunhuan into the corner, looking like a domineering boss.
"You must be hiding something from me! You're sneaking around all day, and you didn't take the initiative to ask me out when I came back. I had to set up the situation and force you to come out."
"We have been friends for more than 20 years. Tell me the truth. Have you done anything wrong? You don't let me go to your house. Are you hiding a wild man at home?"
"Did you just call a random guy? Sisters are like brothers and sisters, and men are like clothes. What kind of crappy man has fooled you so much that he even hid it from me. Don't let him fool you!"
Ji Yunhuan felt a little guilty. In a sense, she did raise a wild man.
It is expensive to support Huo Xiao, and she has to support a city at the same time. However, she did not lose out. There are several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry in the villa.
Ji Yunhuan pushed An Tong away and whispered, "Stop it! Am I the kind of person who would suffer a loss? It's really inconvenient these few days. After this busy period is over, I will definitely apologize to President An, and then I will invite you to go to Lulin Mountain to play."
An Tong snorted coldly, and let Ji Yunhuan go. "I will be in China recently. Call me if you have anything."
She knew that Ji Yunhuan was hiding something from her, but as long as the shares of Kangyue Group were in Ji Yunhuan's hands, she could spend the other small amount of money, and Ji Yunhuan didn't look like he was short of money.
It doesn't matter even if a man cheats her out of a little money. Just think of it as spending money to buy happiness. Although Huanhuan is a little soft-hearted, she is not naive. She believes that Ji Huanhuan knows what's going on.

There was no response from the other party, Huo Xiao felt a little regretful. Was he too rash? Would the gods be angry?
"If the goddess does not want to show her face, that is fine. Since ancient times, statues of gods have been carved according to people's imaginations, and they can still be worshipped by the people."
Ji Yunhuan had already got into the car holding the bronze mirror, and whispered, "I was blocked by An Tong just now. She suspected that I had a wild man and was afraid that I was deceived."
"Wait a minute. I'll go back and find you a photo. It'll only take ten minutes. The bodyguard is here to drive the car. I won't tell you anything yet. Wait for me."
