Guo Yue finally came back.

He was in a bad mood. It was not because of the injury. It was normal for him to be injured by a magic crossbow when he was caught off guard. It was because he was blocked by magic weapons twice and he could not break through, which made him very depressed.

As a master in the Tiandi Realm Restoration Period, he was actually troubled by two magic weapons, and he could not even play much role in this battle, which made him feel that his personal guard was a little unqualified.

But he had to admit that both magic weapons caused him great trouble.

The first one almost caused him to activate the second level of the Indestructible Vajra Body to shatter the unknown disc-shaped flying ring with a nearly injured blow.

The second Red Flame Star Wheel is even more powerful. Its wheel stabbing is extremely sharp, and the three cavalrymen's sabers were injured by wheel stabbing.

In order to break the Tianxing Wheel, he had to use the nine-stage black iron demon-subduing stick to force the killing. The Tianxing Wheel is extremely agile. When it hits the opponent's wheel ring several times, it was destroyed by the impact force of the fan blade-type force-release device unique to the Tianxing Wheel, which made the Tianxing Wheel faster and harder to capture.

Until the end, he took the risk of hitting the movable fan blade in the center of the wheel ring with a stick head, but was hit by the sprayed red flame. If his Vajra Indestructible Body had reached the second level, Guo Yue knew that he would really have to put it down here today.

Even so, the red fire poisonous flame in the Star Wheel still burned his shoulders, forcing him to cut off the flesh immediately to prevent the poisonous flame from spreading.

"Lord, the search has been completed. The enemy left seven corpses, five of which should be magic personnel, and the other should be the personnel who cooperate with each other. Although there are no other marks on them, they should be personnel from Nanyang, and no personnel from Caizhou were found."

Guo Yue's bronze cheeks were a little pale, and his eyes were covered with a strong anger. "I didn't expect that Nanyang and Caizhou actually joined forces. Even people like Yuan Wudi were willing to be naughty and did such dirty actions."

"Liulang, this also shows that in some ways, we Huaiyou made Nanyang and Caizhou feel pressured. How is your injury?" Jiang Feng smiled and shook his head. He practiced the indestructible body skills and had strong muscle repair ability. He knew this, so he was not too worried.

"It's okay, that crossbow arrow is a little powerful. It hurts my meridians and will take several days to repair it." Guo Yueti did not mention the damage caused by the poisonous flame and frowned, "Lord, this Liu and the Yuan family are joining forces, and it's a bit of trouble. The personal guards may have to be strengthened."

Jiang Feng pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's still unclear whether the Liu and Yuan families joined forces or not, but today's incident could not be asserted, so they joined forces. It's probably a more likely that they met together."

"Oh?" Guo Yue was quite surprised, "How did the lord come to this conclusion?"

"I know Liu Xun, who is an important person in charge of intelligence in the Nanyang Jiedushi Mansion. I guess he should be assisting the Liu son in this assassination operation, but he only cared about Liu son's life and did not care about Yuan Wudi's fate. In addition, no one in Yuan's cooperation was obviously unreasonable." Jiang Feng shook his head, "The directions of the two sides' escape from the scene are not the same. Of course this is nothing, but Yuan Wudi did not evacuate without saying a word to Liu, which shows that they were just temporarily joining together."

"That's good, as long as they are temporarily united, my subordinates are worried that if the Liu and Yuan families join hands, there will be great trouble in the future." Guo Yue also breathed a sigh of relief.

Obviously, this stop today shocked him. His opponent used two magic weapons to entangle his personal guards, a master in the Tiandi Realm Restoration Period, and could not escape. This is certainly related to his previous experience in this area, but it is enough to show the level of Nanyang's magic.

This ability can be shown in this assassination operation, and the Yuan family even sent a master like Yuan Wudi, who was close to the Xiaotian throne, to do such humble behavior. What about the next time? His personal guard leader will be under great pressure.

"Not necessarily." Jiang Feng smiled bitterly.

He felt that even if the Liu and Yuan families failed to succeed in the temporary assassination this time, it would probably add to the vigilance of the Liu and Yuan families. Even if there may be no assassination in a short period of time, it may lead to the joint cooperation between the two families, especially in the issue of Gwangju. It is really difficult to predict whether there will be any variables.

"Oh, why do lord say that?" Although Guo Yue doesn't like to talk, he is still a straight in his heart and doesn't consider so much about many issues.

"Liulang, have you heard of any vassal clan that mobilized troops to assassinate such an act?" Jiang Feng asked back: "Today, I encountered such actions by Nanyang and Caizhou, which shows that their two families were afraid of us Huaiyou. To be honest, our Huaiyou's strength is still quite different from that of Nanyang and Caizhou, but they all made this idea. First, they felt that this method would work the fastest, and second, they were afraid that they would have the idea of ​​fighting Guangzhou again. If they failed to succeed this time, it might stimulate them to truly join forces."

Guo Yue thought for a while, and felt that what Jiang Feng said was reasonable, and frowned: "How should we deal with the lord?"

"We have to take the generals to block the enemy, and water comes to cover the earth. Now we can only take one step at a time. Guangzhou still has the shield of the imperial court. If it were the past, Nanyang and Caizhou might have to worry about it, but I feel that Nanyang has changed a little and are still a little unsure."

Jiang Feng was a little confused about how Nanyang would make a big move to assassinate him? It would be fine for Caizhou, but it would be a bit abnormal for Liu Tong to do this. Could it be that Nanyang really wants to attack E Huang, so he has to take Guangzhou first and take action first?

It was just that Liu Xuan lost his troops and generals in the battle of Caizhou last year and suffered a considerable loss, so he swallowed Anzhou. He wanted to attack E Huang again. Isn’t this forcing E Huang to fight to the death? This seems not the most suitable time.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng was also a little sad for E Huang.

The Du family's attitude is easy to make people covetous, especially in their attitude towards Liu Xuan's capture of Mianzhou, which makes Nanyang feel that E Huang can be bullied, and the mentality of being greedy for Shu will breed in Nanyang.

The next step is that Qi and Huang prefectures will become the targets of Nanyang. If E Huang does not plan countermeasures early, it is probably really dangerous.

After packing up, Jiang Feng and his party set off for Huoqiu.

*********************************************************

Huoqiu is located at the intermediate node between Gushi and Shouchun. It is similar to the distance between Wuzhou and Shouzhou, and is not far from Huai River. It has a vast territory and flat terrain. In addition, there are many swamps and good irrigation conditions, so it is the most fertile area in the Jianghuai River.

Huoqiu is closely connected with Anfeng and has the benefits of irrigation from Shaobi, so it has always been regarded as the granary of Shouzhou.

Although he encountered this attack, the changes along the way, especially the changes around Huoqiu City, have made Jiang Feng's mood much better.

It should be said that the Zheng family has spent a lot of effort on the reconstruction of Huoqiu, which can be seen with the settlement of refugees recruited from near Huoqiu County.

An official from Huoqiu County who received the news also received Jiang Feng and his group on the outskirts of Huoqiu City.

Seeing Jiang Feng and his party suffering so much casualties, the people in Huoqiu County were also ashamed of the earth.

Although I know that this has little to do with them, the one who dares to assassinate Jiang Feng will definitely not be an ordinary thief, but after all, it happened in Huoqiu County, which still made local officials feel uneasy.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng comforted the other party in time, which made these people feel relieved.

Zheng Tong, the magistrate of Huoqiu County, is from the Zheng clan, but is not a direct lineage of the Zheng clan, but a side branch.

He was also a literati, but he had been working as a warehouse manager in the Shouzhou Prefecture Office. This time he was transferred to Huoqiu as the county magistrate, and he also used his long-term experience in working below to open up the situation in Huoqiu as soon as possible.

Jiang Feng didn't have much time to talk nonsense with him, but just asked about Huoqiu's current situation and existing difficulties.

Most of the officials in the three prefectures have known Jiang Feng's habits. They don't like to talk more or make a lot of orders. They like to get straightforward and get to the point of getting to the point. If you have something to say, the magistrate of Zhengtong County obviously knows this and is prepared for it.

He briefly introduced the current situation of Huoqiu, and then focused on the current difficulties in Huoqiu. In the final analysis, there are few people and there are many places where water conservancy facilities need to be built and restored. It is difficult to make major changes in a short period of time.

Of course, in terms of specific details, the magistrate of Zhengtong also put forward some suggestions, such as recruiting relatives to invite refugees from Yingbo and Si provinces who have already settled here to Huaibei to recruit relatives and come to Huoqiu to reclaim wasteland; for example, the government will encourage loans, increase efforts to reclaim wasteland, and the government will restrict interest on loans.

Some suggestions are available, but some suggestions will obviously harm the interests of local gentry, but their hearts are commendable.

Judging from Huoqiu's land reclamation efforts, the progress is still relatively fast, especially with the entry of the Guangxu tribes such as Chen, Huang, and Xu, it is also a stimulation for the Zheng family. If the Zheng family cannot better promote the reclamation, it will inevitably be squeezed by these foreign big families, so the efforts on this are quite large.

But in the final analysis, it took too short, and it would take some time to restore Huoqiu to the point of rebellion of the Ant Thief. Jiang Feng's goal was not only to restore to the old situation, but also to exceed the original level and meet the needs of the entire Huaiyou Army's military operations.
