Being a Lady of an Influential Family

On February 18th, Song Lang's Northwest Army Corps was the first to reach Liao County, which was less than 20 miles away from Pengcheng.

The soldiers of Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou were not far away, and the territory of Sun's army was getting smaller and smaller.

After Song Lang arrived in Liao County, he was not in a hurry to attack Pengcheng, but stopped in Liao County to rest and wait for the arrival of Lou Lanzhou and Fu Fengcheng.

At this time, Pengcheng was in chaos. Those generals and officials under Sun Liang's command no longer cared about Sun Liang's deterrence. Those who could run away took their belongings, and those who felt that they didn't need to run hid at home behind closed doors. No, there was absolutely no intention of struggling for Dujun Sun's foundation at all.

Not to mention ordinary people, the streets are so chaotic these days, and ordinary people are almost afraid to go out. Pengcheng, which was still lively at first, became empty and lifeless, with only countless soldiers and horses standing in formation, waiting for the atmosphere to chill and condense.

Faced with these situations, Sun Liang was powerless to control them.

He knew that the general situation was over, but he couldn't do it now if he was asked to voluntarily surrender to those people. Because he knew in his heart that even if he surrendered, no one would let him go, whether it was the military department of the cabinet or the Song family of the Fu family's Long family. Since everything is dead, why doesn't he seek a way out for himself?

So, facing the subordinates who came to ask him to make up his mind, Sun Liang still gritted his teeth and ordered to defend Pengcheng.

But everyone knew it well, what's the point of defending Pengcheng without reinforcements? The general who had just received such an order walked out of the study, looked back at the closed door of the study behind him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Young Marshal, Madam Fu please see me." Song Lang was rarely leisurely sitting in the study reading a book in the Liao County Headquarters, when the guard outside the door reported.

Song Lang immediately put down the idle book in his hand and stood up, "Mrs. Fu? She's already in Pengcheng? Invite her in."

Everyone under Song Lang's command knew that Mrs. Fu was, after all, a friend of his eldest wife, and also the savior of his young marshal, so they treated Leng Sa with extra courtesy. Leng Sa was respectfully invited into the flower hall, and saw Song Lang already sitting there waiting for her.

Seeing her come in, Song Lang immediately stood up to greet her, "Mrs. Fu, are you all right?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Young Master Song is safe and sound. During this period, Young Master Song and the Northwest Army have been invincible all the way. It is admirable. Congratulations, Young Master Song."

Song Lang waved his hand and said, "What am I? In terms of record, Brother Fu is better. Please sit down."

After the host and guest sat down and served refreshments, Song Lang asked curiously, "Did the young lady just arrive in Pengcheng?"

Leng Sa shook her head and said, "It's been a few days, and I've been in the city for a few days."

Song Lang understood after a little thought, "Young Madam, is it for that batch of gold?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "That's right, does Young Master Song have any clues?"

Song Lang shook his head and said, "We just felt that I also sent someone to investigate, and there is no news at present. The only thing is that no one has transported a large amount of gold from the west in the past two months." The closer to the border, the more chaotic, The same goes for the Southwest. There was a mixture of black and white people from all walks of life near the border. It was impossible for Sun Liang to transport so much gold out of the country without taking care of these people, and it was also impossible to not leak any news at all.

Song Lang grew up in the northwest, and he had a lot of dealings with black and white, and he was also very familiar with many people in the southwest.

Leng Sa said: "So, that batch of gold should still be near Pengcheng." Not in the west, and the other directions are even more difficult.

But as Song Lang said, it is almost impossible to transport a whole million taels of gold away silently. So... what method did Sun Liang plan to use to transport the things away?

Song Lang looked at Leng Sa, "Young Madam is here at this time, is there any news?"

Leng Sa didn't hide anything, nodded and said, "That's right, we just got the news that the batch of gold was transported to a small village near Liao County after leaving Pengcheng. Problem. My people sneaked in and found that there were many armed men and horses hidden inside. The original people in the village may be controlled by them. Only a few people are responsible for working outside every day, and the whereabouts of the rest are unknown."

Song Lang's face darkened slightly, "Young Madam wants me to cooperate in taking down that village?"

Leng Sa smiled and said, "I really want to borrow a few people from Young Master Song, but don't worry. I want to make sure that the batch of gold is still there. I just need Young Master Song to help watch, and don't let the people inside escape.

Song Lang graciously agreed, "What place is Young Madam talking about? I'll send someone to watch nearby."

Leng Sa mentioned a place name, Song Lang thought for a while, and summoned the adjutant to give him a map.

After a while, Song Lang's adjutant came over with a map, and Song Lang quickly found the place Leng Sa said on the map.

After staring at the map for a while, Song Lang asked, "Young Madam, do you think Sun Liang will take the gold away by water?"

"Huh?" Leng Sa was a little surprised, "The waterway is not safe, is it?" The waterways going out from the southwest all lead to the six southern provinces. Even if Sun Liang unloaded the ship halfway, it would not be wrong to go to the hinterland of Anxia by himself. What a good thing.

Song Lang said, "Look outside this village, this river is a tributary of the Hejiang River, which just turns at this place. Moreover, it is not far from the main waterway of the Hejiang River. There is the largest wharf near Pengcheng nearby, and people come and go from there every day. There are a lot of ships. If I were Sun Liang, I would consider hiding the gold in batches in merchant ships of foreign companies or ships that are least likely to attract attention, and set off from Hejiang all the way to sea directly."

Leng Sa did not expect this possibility, rubbing his chin and thinking, "Can Sun Liang rest assured of such a large sum of money?"

Song Lang smiled and said, "I don't know about that. Maybe there are people he trusts the most, or maybe he has to take the risk? If it wasn't for transporting things by water, it would be a bit strange for him to choose such a place."

Indeed, this place is far or near from Pengcheng, and the distance from the roads leading to all directions is not very convenient. It really doesn't seem like a place suitable for transshipment.

Leng Sa thought for a while and said, "First check Sun Liang's relationship with those shipping companies?"

Song Lang smiled without saying a word, but Leng Sa had already stood up, "Young Master Song, I would like to borrow your telegram."

Song Lang said clearly, "Looking for Wei Changxiu?" For this matter, Wei Changxiu is indeed the most suitable.

Leng Sa said: "Now we really have to trouble Master Wei."

At this moment, Master Wei was still sadly caught in the continuous flames of war in Nile. Even if Fu Fengcheng sent Xia Wei'an, one of his three trusted adjutants, to assist him, he could not heal the injury suffered by Master Wei.

Holding the telegram just received, Wei Dangjia had not had time to express his opinion when the loud explosion outside made his hands tremble.

Xia Wei'an glanced out of the window calmly and said, "It's fighting again. Don't worry about Master Wei, he can't come here."

"..." Wei Dangjia was speechless.

Since the 17th Legion returned to Nile in disregard of King Nile's order last year, and found that his son was killed by the king and his family was imprisoned, Sanha directly blew up, and the two sides fought a bloody war.

The place where they are now is the second largest city in Nile, which is currently occupied by Sanha's Seventeenth Army. But the king's army is not a vegetarian either. The two sides have been fighting an offensive and defensive battle for the city for almost a month. Not to mention countless deaths and injuries every day, the entire city is about to be blasted into ruins.

Seeing this scene, even the cold-hearted and desperate Wei Dangjia couldn't help sighing that he was guilty.

"Your young master has really committed a great crime." Wei Changxiu said while fiddling with a string of rosary beads on his wrist.

Xia Wei'an didn't take it seriously, and said calmly, "Master Wei, we young and old didn't do anything."

Wei Changxiu snorted softly, "It's like this without doing anything. If he does something else, Nero won't be able to destroy the country."

Xia Wei'an said, "Young Master just wants to drive the Nile people out of Anxia at the least cost. It is best to let them stop invading Anxia's territory. As for this war... It is not the Younger Master who forced them, but themselves I want to fight." What's wrong with defending the Tuwei country?

In Xia Wei'an's view, the young master is simply a peerless genius.

The Nile is miserable, but what does that matter to him? He is from Anxia, ​​and the Niles wanted to invade them. They haven't sent troops across the border to retaliate against the Niles yet.

Glancing at the telegram in Wei Changxiu's hand, Xia Wei'an reminded, "Master Wei, young lady's telegram, why don't you reply first?"

Wei Changxiu looked at the message in his hand amidst the rumbling gunfire in the distance, and said, "Sun Liang really has a lot of appetite, a ship that can go to sea from the southwest... and it's easy to hide things, so it won't be checked all the way? let me see……"

While thinking about it, Wei Changxiu took out a pen and wrote on the back of the telegram, "There are two of them, and there must not be many people with such ability and courage. Let them check slowly."

When Wei Changxiu finished writing, Xia Wei'an took it over and glanced at the names of the two shipping companies and several merchant ships written on it, nodded and said, "Thank you Master Wei, I will send it to the young lady right away."

Wei Changxiu propped his chin in the chair and said, "Actually, if Sun Liang wants to transport it, let him transport it. When the ship arrives in Jiangcheng, it will be directly detained, and it will save you trouble."

Xia Wei'an said, "Master Wei, this is Southwest's financial inventory." Without them, wouldn't they have to add to it, and the Southwest would not need money to recover after the war? Could it really make Southwest chaos?

Wei Changxiu curled his lips and lost interest in an instant.

"Boss, King Nero has sent a secret envoy." A man who looked like a Nero came in hurriedly outside the door, walked up to Wei Changxiu and said in a low voice.

Wei Changxiu raised his eyebrows slightly, "The king's secret envoy? What can you do with me?"

The man said, "He said he wanted to buy a batch of arms from the boss."

Wei Changxiu sat up and glanced at Xia Wei'an who was wearing casual clothes with a smile, "I'm here for business, I didn't expect the king to come to buy things with me? Doesn't he know that I have a deal with Sanha?"

Xia Wei'an said: "You should know, because you know, so..."

Wei Changxiu asked, "He wants to win me over?"

Xia Wei'an said, "The current situation on the king's side is not very good." Wei Dangjia has already become one of the largest imported weapons suppliers in Nile. stymied.

"Master Wei doesn't want to trade with King Nero?"

Wei Changxiu glanced at him, "Why don't you make money if you have money? Invite people in."

At this moment, Wei Dangjia is an emotionless weapon supplier.

On February 20th, the armies of Fu Fengcheng and Lou Lanzhou also arrived near Pengcheng one after another, encircling Pengcheng on three sides and completely becoming an isolated city.

In the conference room, Fu Fengcheng, Song Lang and Lou Lanzhou sat together again, and Leng Sa also sat leisurely beside Fu Fengcheng, listening to their plans.

"The three generals under Sun Liang have already contacted us in private, and they are ready. They can take down the Governor's Mansion and capture Sun Liang alive with just one order." Lou Lanzhou said, "If everything goes well, the war in the southwest will soon be over. It will be over."

Song Lang lazily played with the saber in his hand and said, "I always feel that things are not going well."

Lou Lanzhou was puzzled, "How to say?"

Song Lang thought for a while and said, "What do you mean by that sentence? A centipede is dead but not stiff. I always feel that Sun Liang's scourge is easy to cause trouble for thousands of years, and it is not so easy to die..." The word "dead" was still on his lips Nearby, an earth-shattering explosion was heard in the distance.

The sound was so loud that even the teacups on the table in front of them shook.

"what happened?"

Fu Fengcheng said in a deep voice, "It's the direction of Pengcheng."

Song Lang stood up suddenly, cursed in a low voice, "Could it be that the surname Sun wants to drag the whole city to their deaths?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "No."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he added, "He doesn't have that many explosives."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

Everyone got up and walked out of the meeting room, and they saw the direction of Pengcheng in the distance, black clouds swirling around in the night, and flames soaring into the sky.

Not only them, but everyone else was shocked by the explosion and rushed out, "What's going on?! What happened?!"

"The ammunition depot exploded?!"

Fu Fengcheng frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Fu Yucheng."

Fu Yucheng immediately stepped forward, "Here!"

"Go and check."

Fu Yucheng didn't say much, just nodded his head and waved his hands behind him. Several people followed him quickly, and soon they disappeared into the night.

Not only the people outside the city, but also the people in the city were terrified.

After the huge explosion, Jiang Yu's hand that was drinking tea shook, and a cup of tea was directly poured onto his lap.

An object fell from the cabinet behind him, and if Shang Feiyun hadn't caught it, it would have almost hit the back of his head.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

Shang Feiyun's face was pale, and she only felt that her ears were still ringing.

He said angrily, "Have you ever seen such a loud earthquake? The Governor's Mansion exploded...exploded, exploded?"

The two walked quickly to the window, opened the window and looked over, and they saw raging flames in the direction of the Governor's Mansion, and there were even explosions in the flames. The few small buildings that they could see from the military governor's mansion had collapsed and disappeared without a trace.

"Too bad!" Jiang Yu said, "Those people..."

Those who had fallen to them said that they were going to capture the Governor's Mansion first and capture Sun Liang alive before surrendering. They should all be killed by the bomb now, right?

Shang Feiyun grabbed him and tugged at him, "Don't worry about those people, you should take care of yourself first. Let's retreat first, the fire will burn in a while."

They are too close to the Governor's Mansion, and they are really lucky not to be affected by the explosion. Pengcheng is full of old-style buildings, if you don't leave, don't get burned to death instead of being bombed.

"Send a telegram to the young master first!"

"..."

At this time, Sun Liang was standing not far from the city gate, happily watching the explosion that shocked the whole Pengcheng, with a cold and happy smile in his eyes.

Those people want to betray him, do you think he doesn't know?

Since they want to betray him and rely on him to keep their glory and wealth, they should all die.

It's a pity... Guo Huai is not there.

Thinking of Guo Huai, Sun Liang still had murderous intent in his eyes. If it wasn't for Guo Huai's defection, how could he have lost so quickly?

This is something to eat inside and outside!

It doesn't matter, when he settles down, there are plenty of ways to take care of him.

"Overlord." The young man beside Sun Liang was wearing a long coat like him, with a hat covering half of his face, "We should go."

Sun Liang nodded and said, "It's time to go, everything is arranged?"

The young man nodded and said, "It's all arranged, the warlord can rest assured."

Sun Liang said with satisfaction, "That's good, let's go."

Sun Liang didn't bring any wives, concubines and children with him, so he didn't feel very sad or guilty about it.

Before the explosion, sending those incompetent sons out on errands was already the greatest fatherly love he could show.

As for what they will do in the future, they can only ask for blessings. If it was Sun Rui back then, Sun Liang might still have hesitated a bit, but there is really no need to spend more time thinking about those trash who can't make a fight.

Sun Liang didn't worry about anything. He could regenerate a child anytime he wanted, so there was no need to drag himself down with a few burdens.

Tightening the coat on his body, Sun Liang turned around without hesitation and hid himself in the shadows under the night.
