As a model of orderly evacuation, the nearly 20,000 defeated troops led by Luo Qingfeng and the others actually carried a lot of baggage.

The remaining heavy-riding demon horses basically carry one or two bags of food and grass, and there are even a dozen large beast carts equipped with baggage ordnance.

Xu Yuan estimated that these two people should be the first group of defeated troops to run away.

If this food and grass were supplied to themselves, they could probably last for about ten days.

However, there are two types of transportation and storage of marching baggage, one is hauled by horses and carts, and the other is hidden in the Sumeru Ring.

These two people handed over the former. Now what Xu Yuan and Li Qingyan have to do is to ask them to hand over the latter.

Silence for several breaths,

Hou Jiancheng spoke first, cupped his hands towards Xu Yuan, and whispered:

"Our army's food, grass, baggage, and even the armor and weapons worn by our soldiers have been handed over to your army in accordance with the order of His Highness Wu Yuan."

Xu Yuan glanced at the two people in the hall, touched his chin and said with a smile:

"But what His Highness Wu Yuan wants is all your baggage. Can't the Sumeru Ring also store weapons and baggage?"

After a pause,

Xu Yuan slowly stood up from his seat, walked downwards, and chuckled:

"I have great faith in both of you, but the current situation is like this. The barbarian army is entrenched near Beifeng City. Now the defenders in Houting County are alone outside the Great Flame. Ordnance, equipment, and even food and grass are in extremely short supply.

We are all grasshoppers on the same rope and need to work together."

Luo Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said crisply:

"Sir, the Sumeru Ring in Qingfeng's hand contains many confidential files about my father and Xuepo Valley. I'm sorry that I can't obey my order."

A very direct rejection.

Xu Yuan burst into laughter upon hearing this.

As for him, he can probably guess what these two people are thinking.

It can be said that it is a conspiracy, or it can be said that it is a desperate act.

Their biggest problem now is their lack of morale and the fact that they will be harassed by barbarian wolf cavalry in the blizzard in the wild.

First, reorganize the morale of the army here in Houting County. When the war is about to begin, the Beifeng Army will inevitably return their armor and weapons to them. When the time comes, they will see that the situation is not good and they will run away.

As long as the war is going on, as long as the barbarians have any brains, they will not stop them from leaving.

To achieve this condition, they must hold part of the baggage in their hands, otherwise even if they successfully escape, they will definitely collapse without food and grass in this ice and snow.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan had already walked to and stood in front of Luo Qingfeng.

Luo Qingfeng has a slim figure, but is not very tall, which is the same as Cangyuanzhong.

Compared with the tall girl from the northern border, she is more clever and agile than the girl from the Jiangnan water town. The height difference of more than half a foot allows Xu Yuan to look down on this powerful third-grade grandmaster.

He looked at her and said slowly:

"Miss Luo, I am not asking for your opinion, this is a military order."

Luo Qingfeng raised his eyes slightly, looked at each other very calmly, and said:

"According to the laws of Great Yan, Jiancheng and I are not under the direct command of His Highness."

"."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.

In Cangyuan, he didn't know that this woman had such a stubborn side.

But think about it, although the players in Cangyuan had some misunderstandings with this woman, in the final analysis they still wear a pair of pants.

It’s normal for people to have different positions and to be stubborn.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan stopped talking and his eyes swept back and forth over the plumpness of the woman's chest.

The close stare made Hou Jiancheng on the side clenched his fists slightly, and when he was about to have an attack, Xu Yuan suddenly laughed and said:

"Miss Luo, tell me, according to the Great Yan Law, because of the general's wrong decision, the 300,000 elite border troops were routed thousands of miles away. What is the punishment for this crime according to the law?"

"." The two of them made no sound.

Xu Yuan chuckled, raised his hand and patted Luo Qingfeng's boneless shoulder:

"I should be killed according to military law. However, I am a soft-hearted person and I can't bear to see a beautiful woman like Miss Luo die."

Speaking of this, Xu Yuan deliberately glanced at Hou Jiancheng, whose face had turned completely dark, and said with a smile:

"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, so I will arrange for Miss Luo to go to the Jiaofang Division for three years."

"Asshole!"

Hou Jiancheng groaned and subconsciously wanted to hold down the saber at his waist, but he had already put the Sumeru ring in before entering the Yamen.

"Oops!"

A flash of sword light flashed, the blade was unsheathed, and Xu Yuan directly handed his sword to Hou Jiancheng:

"General Hou, are you looking for a knife? Here, here it is."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan stared at Hou Jiancheng's gloomy eyes:

"You can do whatever you want to do directly. I'm only a fifth-grade soul condensing agent. It shouldn't be difficult for General Hou to kill me."

Having said that,

Xu Yuan quietly glanced at Li Qingyan, who was still sitting firmly in the hall.

Sister, please don’t lose your temper. If you do, you will be a widow.

"."

Li Qingyan rolled his eyes.

She now seriously doubts that this guy is taking her orders to release his natural instincts

Hou Jiancheng stared at the blade handed over by Xu Yuan, took a deep breath, looked at Li Qingyan in the hall, and whispered:

"Your Highness Wu Yuan, does your personal soldier represent your wishes?"

"Don't ask her, I can decide this matter."

Xu Yuan interrupted again, sheathed his sword, and said with a smile: "You two must choose quickly, either die, enter the Jiaofang Department, or hand over all the Sumeru Rings you have."

The naked humiliation made Luo Qingfeng's chest heave in anger, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she whispered:

"The only generals with higher status than me now are Mr. Zong and Marquis Wu Cheng. I don't know what identity the young master has to make the decision? His Royal Highness's bodyguard? Or..."

"Since my father is Xu Yinhe, is that okay?"

"."Luo Qingfeng.

"."Hou Jiancheng.

Looking at the two people who were suddenly silent, Xu Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile:

"As for you, don't play tricks in front of me. Mr. Zong has already told me everything you want to do and what you might do. Let me ask you one last time, do you hand it over or not?"

"."

Luo Qingfeng and Hou Jiancheng looked at each other for a moment, seeming to realize something, and nodded without any trace:

"Since the Third Young Master has said this, if we don't hand over the money, it will be a bit disrespectful, but there won't be much baggage left."

Having said that,

The two of them quickly took off the Sumeru Ring from their fingertips, held it up with Yuan Qi and brought it to Xu Yuan, and then lifted the restrictions on the Sumeru Ring.

Xu Yuan took the two Sumeru rings, looked into his mind and soul, and raised the corners of his eyes slightly.

So fat.

There are countless banknotes, elixirs, and various rare medicinal materials, but the food and baggage is very small.

Xu Yuan looked back at Li Qingyan and said with a smile:

"You two, you Sumeru Precepts don't have any marching baggage."

Luo Qingfeng raised his hand:

"In this case, I hope that the Third Young Master will take the Sumeru Precepts."

"Eh."

Xu Yuan interrupted, frowning and said: "Now that we need elixirs and money to stimulate the morale of the army, I want to help you keep these two Sumeru Rings. Don't forget, you are about to die now. You must pay for your crimes and perform meritorious service."

I will return it to you two later."

Luo Qingfeng and Hou Jiancheng seemed to have been prepared when they heard this. The moment they took off the Sumeru Ring, they were already ready to beat the dog with meat buns, but their faces showed just the right amount of embarrassment and anger.

Counting breaths in silence,

Hou Jiancheng suddenly cupped his hands and said through gritted teeth:
