. "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." Pang Yi said with an ugly face and glaring at Wei Tianbiao.

Wei Tianbiao replied with a flattering look on his face: "Sir, let me tell you good news. Meng Ben from the True Demon Army is willing to surrender."

"Well? Meng Ben? What does this have to do with this?" Pang Yi pointed to the sign in his hand and asked.

Wei Tianbiao replied embarrassedly, "E... Is this a bet with that Meng Ben?"

"Gambling? What bet?"

"Just bet on whether I dare to pinch that head nurse Marit's butt."

"Puff~" Chen Baxian couldn't help laughing. Seeing Pang Yi glaring at him, he quickly turned his head and looked at the people around him watching the fun: "What are you looking at? Go back to recuperate."

Pang Yi stared at Wei Tianbiao with some amusement. Among the four generals under him who value the most, Wei Tianbiao was the most indifferent. Seeing that Pang Yi's expression was wrong, Wei Tianbiao immediately said, "Sir, I was wrong."

"Hmph..." Pang Yi snorted coldly without comment, "Take me to see that Meng Ben."

When Wei Tianbiao heard Pang Yi say this, he knew that Pang Yi did not plan to pursue the matter this time, so he quickly led the way and said, "Sir, please come with me."

"I said Wei Tianbiao, how did you know that Meng Ben?" Chen Baxian asked after Wei Tianbiao.

"Aren't I injured? That Meng Ben happened to be next to my hospital bed, and we became familiar with each other after a while. By the way, Chen Baxian, Meng Ben was still captured." Wei Tianbiao replied without looking back.

"Is that right? I didn't care. By the way, Wei Tianbiao, why do you think of betting on the middle-aged woman Marit? I told you, when I saw it just now, I thought you were so hungry that you were hungry and hungry." Chen Baxian quipped with a smile.

"Go to you. I'm not thinking about Feng Yangjun." Wei Tianbiao shouted dissatisfiedly.

"The topic of shut up is over here. Whoever you talks about will stop? Who will stop the small dark room?" Pang Yi couldn't help but threaten. The power of the three words "The Little Black Room" is huge, and Chen Baxian and Wei Tianbiao immediately became honest.

Under the leadership of Wei Tianbiao, Pang Yi met Meng Ben, who was sitting on the bed reading.

"You are Meng Ben?" Pang Yi asked out loud.

"That's right. I wonder if you are?" Meng Ben asked as he stood up.

"Pang Yi, the supreme commander of Feng Yang Army here."

When Meng Ben heard this, he looked Pang Yi up and down in surprise, bowed and said, "The defeated general has seen Pang Daren."

"No gift. I originally came here to see the wounded, but I didn't expect that I would have seen a good show as soon as I walked to the door." Pang Yi said with a smile.

Meng Ben smiled and looked at Wei Tianbiao, "It's indeed a good show."

"Then I wonder what General Meng plans to do next?"

"A person cannot stand without trust. Since General Wei has done it, Meng Ben will also fulfill his promise."

"Okay, a good word will not stand without trust. General Meng will first recover from the wound and wait until the injury is healed before saying something else." Pang Yi nodded with satisfaction.

"Thank you, Lord Pang, for your concern... I wonder who is the person behind Lord Pang?" Meng Ben asked Pang Yi and looked at Chen Baxian standing behind Pang Yi.

"Oh, he is my junior brother, Chen Baxian." Pang Yi replied after hearing this.

"...It turns out that he is Pang Yi. I heard that there is a ten thousand enemy in Feng Yang's army named Chen Baxian. Now it seems that I will not complain if I lose to him."

After hearing Meng Ben's words, Wei Tianbiao, who was standing aside, said with a smile, "General Meng, of course you will not blame this guy for your defeat. In the entire Feng Yang army, except for Your Majesty, no one can beat Chen Baxian in the fight alone."

"Go, go, go... Wei Tianbiao, no one thinks you are mute if you don't speak. General Meng, I offended you so much before, so please forgive me." Chen Ba rushed away Wei Tianbiao first and bowed to Meng Ben and said.

"General Chen is polite. Meng Ben's skills are not as good as others. He is convinced of losing." Meng Ben quickly replied with a polite manner.

Seeing that the two of them had made up their past grudges, Pang Yi stepped forward and said, "General Meng, you will be a family in the future. Don't be too polite. You should recover from your injuries first, and I will arrange things for you after the injuries are healed."

"This... Master Pang, there will be a request at last." Meng Ben said to Pang Yi hesitantly.

Pang Yi smiled when he heard this, "No need to say, I don't want to fight the real demon, right? No problem. After your injury heals, I will recommend you to Fengyang Yifuguan to participate in the battle against the Orcs Alliance. I believe that the sword in General Meng's hand will not be dull when dealing with those Orcs."

"...Thank you, Pang Da, for your understanding." Meng Ben said to Pang Yi with gratitude.

After seeing off Pang Yi and Chen Baxian, Wei Tianbiao smiled and said to Meng Ben: "What about General Meng? I'm right, the adults of our Feng Yangjun are easy to talk to in normal times. But when the war is fought, the adults are also very strict, you must distinguish this."

"Thank you for General Wei's reminder, Meng Ben remembers it in mind. There is another thing about General Wei, the head nurse Marit is walking towards you with someone, and there are about fifty steps."

Tian Biao turned his head and glanced at it, cursed inwardly, and then ran out. Behind him, the laughter of Meng Ben and many other wounded people was left.

At the top of the city of Gulan, Yang Qianli stood quietly there, and the snowflakes were about to build it into a snowman. Chen Ziqi, who had just dealt with the matter, came to find him and saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to take the snowflakes on Yang Qianli's body. He couldn't help but complain: "Sir, Feng Yang's army has not retreated, how can he be so depressed? Don't you want to take revenge?"

"Revenge? Think about it, I dreamed of it. But Ziqi, you said, just by the soldiers we are in our hands now, it is a problem to defend Gulan City, so how can we take revenge?" Yang Qianli asked with a wry smile.

"This is not a reason for your depression. When His Majesty raised an army to launch a war on the throne, who was stronger and weaker than the true demon emperor at that time?"

“…that’s different.”

"It seems no different in my opinion. The reason why you are so depressed now is simply because you are already afraid in your heart. You are afraid of losing, you are afraid of fighting with Pang Yi of Feng Yangjun again, and you are afraid of being defeated by Pang Yi of Feng Yangjun again." Chen Ziqi stared at Yang Qianli's eyes and said coldly.

"I'm not afraid." Yang Qianli stood up and shouted at Chen Ziqi with a blushing face.

"Are you afraid that only you know in your heart? If you want to prove that you are not afraid of Pang Yi, please cheer up. We have not lost yet. We still have Gulan City and the entire True Demon Empire as our backing. To be honest, I have sent the news of our defeat back to Jin Luo and requested Jin Luo's second assistance."

Yang Qianli was shocked when he heard this, grabbed Chen Ziqi's collar and said, "You."

Chen Ziqi said with a calm expression: "Sir, there is nothing we can do about it. Now we can only rely on the support of the True Demon Empire. Our True Demon has occupied the land of Iron Furnace for too short, so short that we cannot obtain the support of the indigenous people."

"...It's all good things that Gulit did, so that I, the real demon, cannot win the hearts of the people in the Iron Soil." Yang Qianli said helplessly.

"Sir, it has been more than half a month since our army was defeated last time. The victorious Feng Yang army is about to launch a new round of attacks on us according to time. Please prepare early to avoid being caught off guard."

"Are you leaving?" Yang Qianli heard what Chen Ziqi said.

"Well, the Queen Mother-in-law ordered me to rush back to Jin Luo to tell her the story of the defeat."

"... Take care of yourself all the way, will you come back?" Yang Qianli asked reluctantly.

"Don't worry, after the Queen Mother's answer is correct, Chen Ziqi will bring the newly recruited soldiers and the dispatched materials back to Gulan City to fight side by side with him. So before Chen Ziqi comes back, please work hard and not be taken away by Feng Yang's army."

Yang Qianli patted his chest and replied, "Don't worry, I want you to promise that when you return to Quran, the battle flag of the True Demon Empire is still flying on the top of the city."

Seeing that Yang Qianli had indeed been excited, Chen Ziqi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He said to Yang Qianli: "It is best to be able to cheer up. It is not appropriate to be late. Chen Ziqi will say goodbye now."

"Let's leave now?" Yang Qianli asked with some surprise.

"Time doesn't wait for anyone. Chen Ziqi will be able to come back early. Sir, please take care of yourself. Chen Ziqi said goodbye."

After seeing Chen Ziqi off, Yang Qianli opened the army loss chart that Chen Ziqi had handed him before leaving and the current strength chart of the True Demon Army. After a brief look at the loss chart, Yang Qianli opened the strength chart and looked at it. While walking towards the city guards in the city, he ordered the guards behind him: "Go and call me the generals above the commander of the army to Daocheng guards in the city immediately. I want to listen to their report on their work."

"yes."

As soon as he heard the order Yang Qianli sent someone to convey, many officers immediately put down their affairs and rushed to the city to guard the palace. Since Yang Qianli returned to Gulan City, his will has been very depressed. If the military advisor Chen Ziqi had not been in the middle of the formation, Gulan City might have been in chaos.

When he arrived at the meeting hall of the city guard's palace, Yang Qianli had been waiting in the main seat for a long time. After the generals arrived, Yang Qianli did not talk nonsense and asked the generals straight to the point: "Everyone, have you arranged your defense work completed?"

"Sir, the collection of material supplies has been completed. The city has sufficient food and grass reserves to support our army in defending Gulan City for a year." A civilian official in charge of logistics stood up and answered first.

"Very good. Before the troops move, food and grass will go first. Only with sufficient food and grass reserves, there will be no chaos in the city of Gulan. By the way, the locations for the food and grass reserves must be strictly defended. Feng Yang's army is very good at attacking food and grass." Yang Qianli praised it first and then reminded.

"Don't worry, sir, for safety reasons, our logistics department will place the food and grass near water. Once the fire breaks out, it can be put out as soon as possible. We have also set up a cordon around the grain and grass warehouse, and idle people are not allowed to approach. People are also arranged to patrol 24 hours a day without interruption in the grain and grass warehouse."

"Yes, your Logistics Department is very good this time." After listening to the description of the Logistics Minister Qian Jin, Yang Qianli nodded with satisfaction and praised.

"Sir, I'm sorry, but this is actually Mr. Chen's suggestion. By the way, Mr. Chen, where has Mr. Chen gone?" Qian Jin asked curiously.

"Oh, he. He was ordered to go back to Jinluo for help."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. When Chen Ziqi first came, there were very few people in the entire army who looked down on him, and they all thought that Chen Ziqi was just a playboy who came to gilt and left. But what they didn't expect was that Chen Ziqi was different from those people in the past. What surprised them the most was that when they were defeated and the Admiral Yang Qianli was discouraged, Chen Ziqi, who was usually weak, had the courage to give Yang Qianli** After returning to Gulan City, they issued a series of preparations to defend Gulan City. Everyone was shocked by Chen Ziqi's beating Yang Qianli, and no one questioned the legitimacy of Chen Ziqi's order at this time. After they completed Chen Ziqi's explanation and found that the effect was significant, they no longer had the intention to question Chen Ziqi. Now they suddenly didn't see Chen Ziqi, and they thought that Chen Ziqi had suffered something unexpected.

Yang Qianli saw the expressions of everyone, but he didn't say anything, but said to the generals: "You don't have to worry about Military Advisor Chen. Our most important task at the moment is how to block Feng Yang's next attack, defend Gulan City, and persist until the military advisor brings reinforcements to come."

When he heard Yang Qianli's words, the generals began to continue reporting on their work during this period. The meeting lasted from the afternoon to the middle of the night. After evaluating the last person's report, Yang Qianli reached out and rubbed his eyebrows and said to the generals, "Okay, it's getting late, you all go back and rest. Remember, what I just told you about is time to finish. I guess Feng Yang's army will be on the way to Gulan in these few days."

Hearing Yang Qianli's words, the generals answered in unison: "Please rest assured, I will understand."

"Okay, let's go back. It's time for me to take a rest." Yang Qianli waved his hand to the generals and said.

After sending all the generals away, Yang Qianli returned to the bedroom alone, laying on the bed with his clothes, looking at the curtains on the top of the bed, but his mind was still thinking about whether he had any negligence or omissions in defending Gulan City.

Yang Qianli was woken up by a bird's cry and fell asleep at some point last night. When he woke up, he found that he had been changed into a pajamas and had two thick quilts covered with them.

"Come." Yang Qianli shouted outside the door.

"Sir, what are your instructions?" the maid outside the door hurriedly walked in and asked.

"Who came last night?" Yang Qianli asked while yawning.

"...It's a lady." The maid replied in a low voice.

"Ah? Don't joke." Yang Qianli said in disbelief.

When the maid heard Yang Qianli's words, her face turned pale and she knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, how dare I joke with you? The lady is really here, but the adult's mood seems not very high in the past two days, so the lady didn't ask us to tell her."

"...Is it really coming? Get up, take me to see her after I get dressed." Yang Qianli said to the maid with quick movements while putting on her clothes.

"yes."

He quickly put on his clothes, and Yang Qianli followed the maid to find his wife. "Hey, what are you taking me to the kitchen for?" Yang Qianli couldn't help but ask strangely when he saw that the road was wrong.

"Sir, the food you use to disturb you these days is made by the wife. According to time calculations, the wife should now prepare breakfast for the adults in the kitchen." The maid quickly explained when she heard this.

After hearing the maid's explanation, Yang Qianli couldn't help feeling a little guilty, so he speeded up and left the maid who was originally walking in front behind.

He quickly walked to the kitchen. The chef in the mansion was standing at the kitchen door. When he saw Yang Qianli coming, he quickly saluted and said, "I have met the adult."

"No gift. Is Madam inside?" Yang Qianli waved his hand and asked.

"Yes, the lady is inside." The cook nodded and replied. As soon as he finished speaking, the kitchen door opened. A woman in ordinary clothes walked out and looked at Yang Qianli and said, "Husband, why are you here?"
