Chapter 191 Scheming Mind

Just as Xu Han's words fell, a burst of exclamations of shock rang out from within the manor gate.

If they didn't set up defenses, could it be that they were just watching the experts of the Thousand Heavens Hunting Realm come and go freely, wantonly slaughtering the guards of Big Yellow City?

Everyone hadn't expected much from Xu Han's suggestion from the beginning, but they hadn't expected that Xu Han's idea would turn out to be this bad.

"Is Manor Master teasing us? If we don't set up defenses, are we going to give our soldiers from Big Yellow City to Mu Ji to kill?" Meng Tong, the veteran general of Big Yellow City, spoke again. The mockery in his eyes became even heavier. However, when he said this, he did not notice that the expressions of the people in the manor, including Lin Shou, had suddenly changed after hearing Xu Han's words.

Xu Han did not want to pay attention to the contempt in Meng Tong's words. This was not because of his gentle temperament, but because it was important. He was too lazy to argue with some clowns.

'"There are ways to attack, then hand over, then cut down, then cut down. I don't understand the Dao of Militarism, but I secretly think that Mu Ji's action is to attack. And according to our ancestors, no matter what Mu Ji does, it is an offensive move. I think it is to defeat a soldier by not fighting."

Xu Han said calmly. However, Meng Tong had not received any response from Xu Han even after he had spoken a few times. In his heart, he secretly felt that he had been ignored by a brat in front of his colleagues. He was truly embarrassed.

'"What exactly does the Manor Lord want to say? Don't talk to me anymore …" Therefore, Meng Tong didn't wait for Xu Han to finish his sentence before he spoke again to provoke him.

At that time, Xu Han's eyes finally narrowed. He stopped talking and turned his head to look at Meng Tong. A cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The surrounding people also smelled the scent and their gazes fell on the two of them.

Meng Tong's heart sank. After all, he was a veteran general who had been fighting for many years. Soon, he smelled a faint killing intent from Xu Han's body. That thing had to go through hundreds of battles, and he had hundreds or thousands of lives in his hands. He couldn't understand how a youth of Xu Han's age could have such an aura on his body.

His words suddenly came to a halt because of the shock and doubt in his heart.

This was also the effect that Xu Han wanted.

"What Mu Ji wants is to keep us on high alert, not to give us the slightest chance to catch our breath, and to drag down our will and morale as much as possible before the real attack arrives. If my guess is correct, We want to ambush those Heavenly Hunt Realm experts, "It is very likely that Mu Ji is right in his heart. The other party will not send any more experts to attack us today. However, we will fall into a passive position because of our meticulous defenses, but we won't be able to obtain any results. Therefore, I think it would be better to arrange for the soldiers to have a good rest to deal with the battle later today than to do so."

Xu Han's voice rang out once again. This time, he had read the other party's thoughts very carefully. Those generals weren't stupid either. After a slight pause, he thought about what Xu Han said carefully and felt that it made sense.

However, when Meng Tong saw this scene, he felt that what he had done before was as ridiculous as a monkey. He was displeased, but he couldn't care less about the other speakers and asked, "Then, with the Manor Master's intention, when will Mu Ji launch the second Heavenly Hunt Realm surprise attack?"

Hearing this, Xu Han frowned.

"I don't know either."

What he said was the truth. Although he had figured out some of Mu Ji's thoughts, it was still his first time participating in the war. He did not understand Mu Ji's character. It would be difficult for him to accurately tell the timing of Mu Ji's attack.

However, when Meng Tong heard this, it was as if he had grasped a flaw. A smug smile appeared on his face once again. He stared at Xu Han and said, "What is the use of the Manor Lord's deduction?" Could it be that just because we can't calculate the time of Mu Ji's attack, we are just waiting to die? Waiting for him to attack again and again? "It's better to be ruthless and prepare yourself for the next attack, and catch him off guard!"

An unhappy expression finally appeared on Xu Han's forehead.

He silently stared at Meng Tong, whose temples were already covered in white frost, and suddenly opened his lips, "Where is Hou Ling?"

The commander of the Tian Ce Mansion Army was slightly stunned, then he suddenly stood up and cupped his hands, saying, "The general is here!"

"Meng Tongmu has no elders, clap your lips!" Xu Leng said.

Hearing this, Hou Ling immediately hesitated. Although Meng Tong's behavior was a bit extreme, this was Big Yellow City's territory. They still needed to rely on the people guarding the city to defend it together. If they were to speak in public, they would probably cause dissatisfaction among the people guarding the city. At that time…

For this reason, he had no choice but to look sideways at Mr. Lu, wanting to inquire about the honorable red-robed minister's intentions.

Pa!

However, before he could ask, he heard a loud noise from the table.

Xu Han took out something and fiercely threw it on the wooden table. Hou Ling stared intently at it, but it was the only Manor Head Token in the world.

"What! My words as a Manor Master don't count?" Xu Hanyou's cold voice sounded.

At that time, his expression was gloomy and cold, and his eyes were filled with malice.

Looks like a young lion.

Although he had no mane, his claws were sharp.

Hou Ling didn't dare to hesitate any longer. He gritted his teeth and appeared in front of Meng Tong with a movement. He waved his hand.

A crisp sound resounded throughout the pavilion.

Everyone was stunned.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Tong's cheeks were flushed red and swollen, everyone would have even suspected that what had just happened was an illusion.

Meng Tong finally regained his senses after a few breaths of silence. Hou Ling's cultivation was at the Great Evolution Realm. If he really attacked with all his might, this palm strike would be enough to kill him on the spot. But now, his right face was only red and swollen. It was clear that Tiance Prefecture's commander had carefully controlled his strength.

Even so, Meng Tong still felt a wave of anger rising from the bottom of his heart.

How humiliating was this?

"You!" He pointed at Xu Han and was about to curse.

"It's fine if you don't think of a good plan to defend against the enemy at the moment, but you still want to stop me from advancing."

"Not to mention that I am an official of the first rank, I am the Great Zhou Qiu personally registered by the Emperor. Even if Xu Han is just a pawn, it is fine if I want to make some suggestions for this battle. Whether it is right or wrong, I can only make a decision after listening to you! But you, Great General Meng, have despised me several times without discrimination. Do you think I am easy to bully, or…"

After saying this, Xu Han paused for a moment before his voice suddenly turned gloomy and cold, "Or is it because he has ulterior motives that he wants to put our Big Yellow City in danger?"

The tall hat made Xu Han buckle onto Meng Tong's head. The 60-year-old general's expression immediately changed, "Brat, you dare to spit out blood …"

Meng Tong angrily attacked his heart and shouted loudly. However, before he could finish his words, Lin Shou remained silent for a long time before he finally spoke.

"Meng Tong! How long are you going to make trouble? If Lord Taiwei wants to kill you, no one in Big Yellow City can save you!" Lin Shou, who was eighty years old, shouted. His voice was as loud as a lion's roar, and his aura was so strong that Meng Tong's heart trembled. He finally regained his senses.

At that moment, a chill ran through his entire body.

He suddenly woke up. This seemingly inconspicuous youth in front of him was a Great Zhou Taiwei, one of the three dukes in charge of military forces. If he really provoked the other party, killing him would definitely not be a joke.

He immediately put away his previous arrogance, his head sank, and closed his mouth.

"Young Manor Master, please don't blame me. I spoiled these thieves. I will teach them a lesson another day. I wonder if there is anything else the Manor Master has just said." Seeing that Meng Tong was like this, Lin Shou turned his head apologetically and looked at Xu Han. There was actually a hint of questioning in his tone, and his attitude was clearly much better than before.

Xu Han wasn't someone who couldn't be forgiven. Moreover, there were as many people in this world as cattle feathers like Meng Bronze, If each of them were to haggle over each other, Then wouldn't Xu Han be too busy? Therefore, he nodded. "Just as I said before, it's really hard to predict when Mu Ji will launch a second surprise attack at the Heavenly Hunt Realm. However, if we wait for the rabbits and keep a tight watch, everyone's cultivation will naturally last for more than ten days and a half, but those ordinary soldiers will probably not be so lucky."

"That's why I thought that this counterattack was necessary."

"But it shouldn't be at the time of Mu Ji's second attack, it should be at the time of the third attack!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present immediately looked at each other, confused.

"What's the difference between the third time and the second time?" Someone asked doubtfully.

Hearing this, Xu Han smiled.

"There's nothing else. I'm just trying to do it with one heart."
