The old housekeeper returned to Balsamic Ridge somewhat lonely.

He thought about it and decided that as long as Forio didn't take the initiative to ask, he would not take the initiative to tell what happened today. It would be a day to delay.

But how could Forio not ask about this matter?

Before the old housekeeper could get his butt warm, Forio called him to the military camp.

"Didn't I ask you to negotiate with the people in Mushroom Ridge? How's it going?"

The old housekeeper thought of the frustrating things that happened today, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Seeing the old butler's reaction, Forio immediately understood something.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so bad?".

Forio's face was gloomy, he seemed to already know the answer.

The old butler had no choice but to tell Forio what happened today.

Hearing this, Forio suddenly stood up from his seat and said angrily:

"This Xu Kuang is too deceptive!"

He looked at the old housekeeper and frowned. After a moment, his brows relaxed, as if he had thought of a good idea.

"Ready your horse."

The old housekeeper asked quickly:

"What are you going to do?".

Forio frowned and said to the old butler:

"White Birch City, I'm going to let the Viscount take charge of this matter.".

The old housekeeper quickly stopped Forio and said to him:

"Don't go. You must be the person that Viscount Bai Hua hates the most right now. Think about it, if you hadn't told him about Xu Kuang, he wouldn't be in such a mess. Besides, think about it, when did you If you go to Baihua City, don't you want to have your skin peeled off? If you have more money, go ahead."

Forio slumped in his chair, once again running out of ideas.

"Then what do we do now?".

The old butler frowned, sighed, and said to Forio:

"What else can I do? I can only wait. I have been urging them diligently these past two days. I hope they can pay attention to it."

Forio couldn't help but ask:

“What if they don’t take it seriously?”.

The old butler was silent, but silence was the best answer to Forio.

So what if we don’t pay attention to it? Balsam pear Ridge is now meat on the chopping board and can only be slaughtered by Xu Kuang.

Forio was a little resentful of his father, Folan, and why he wanted to get involved in this matter.

The old butler suddenly realized something. His eyes lit up and he smiled at Forio:

"I have an idea."

Forio raised his eyebrows and asked:

"Oh? You also have a way?".

The old butler began to describe his method to Forio vividly:

"Think about it, Xu Kuang can conduct military exercises on our territory, why can't we conduct military exercises on other people's territory?"

Hearing this, Forio said coldly:

"Are you confused? If we go to other people's territory for military exercises, will the other lords agree? If we force the exercise, Xu Kuang will take action again, and the gain will outweigh the loss."

The old housekeeper asked:

"What if we go to Xiangcheng Town? Our consumption has been so high during this period. Because of the military exercises, the merchants have stopped coming here. Without income, how many more days can we hold on?"

Forio frowned, as if he was having an ideological struggle. After a long time, he exhaled a thick breath.

"Just as you said, gather troops and go to Xiangcheng Town for military exercises.".

Forio wrote a military exercise application letter and asked the old housekeeper to send it to Orange Town. He himself gathered more than 6,000 troops and began to move north.

This move quickly fell into the eyes of the scouts of the Panshi New Army. After Zhou Jin got the news, he laughed until his stomach hurt. He asked the messenger to quickly send the battle report to Xu Kuang's desktop.

Xu Kuang received the tip and asked in surprise:

"What's going on with this Forio? Does he want to offend his last ally to death?".

The six counselors also looked at each other, and they were also confused by Forio's operation.

Xu Kuang raised his eyebrows slightly and gave the latest instructions:

"Let them pass, and order the Second Cavalry Regiment and Second Infantry Regiment on the northeastern line to be more vigilant. Once they find signs of the other party heading south, they do not need to ask for instructions. They will give three warnings and open fire directly."

The messenger left as if flying.

…

Forio looked at a group of Mushroom Ridge cavalry at the southern intersection in surprise, but the group did not stop him, and he did not take it to heart.

It was only more than twenty kilometers from Xiangcheng Town to Balsam Melon Ridge, but Folio took the people for a whole day. When they arrived at Xiangcheng Town, it was already noon the next day.

And Xu Kuang also got photos of the Balsamic Ridge garrison training near Xiangcheng Town. In the photos, everyone in Xiangcheng Town was standing ready, and the Balsamic Ridge soldiers were showing off their power.

Xu Kuang was immediately overjoyed. He quickly ordered the troops to immediately move to Balsam Ridge. The first and second cavalry regiments detoured to both sides of the official road to ambush. The first infantry battalion guarded Balsam Town. The remaining infantry set up defense lines along the southward route, preparing to block the attack at all levels.

The infantry advanced without encountering any resistance. Wherever they passed, all the soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy.

The soldiers also strictly adhered to the five no-nos principle and treated these prisoners favorably.

The people of Kugualing watched in horror as Xu Kuang's army entered the city, as if they were experiencing a disaster. They huddled in their houses, praying to the gods for help.

Neat footsteps sounded outside the door, and the hearts of everyone in the house were in their throats. However, the soldiers did not enter the house, but quickly took over the defense lines.

Those who were brave enough to walk out of the house were surprised to find that the streets had become tidy. Other than that, it seemed like nothing had happened. There was no shortage of goods piled up outside the house.

A group of soldiers passed by and everyone retreated into the house.

After the group of soldiers left, everyone discovered that there were several notices posted on the windows.

The general meaning of the notice is: Navrio colluded with Viscount Baihua in an attempt to seize Mushroom Ridge, and Mushroom Ridge was forced to fight back in self-defense. From now on, the surname of Balmeling will be Xu. Within three days, a household registration officer will come to register and register. The people of Balsamberg can also enjoy the benefits enjoyed by the people of Moguoling.

Soon, the streets were filled with cheering crowds. Everyone brought food and wine to reward the righteous masters everywhere.

…

Xu Kuang was not surprised at all when he received the battle report. He circulated the battle report to everyone, and as expected, received praise from everyone.

Xu Kuang asked:

"If this is the case, then someone needs to take charge of the overall situation of Balsamic Ridge. Which of you is willing to go?"

Except for Zhuge, the other five people raised their hands in unison.

Xu Kuang thought for a while and soon had the answer:

"Pang Yu and Ju Ling, you two go together, Pang Yu is the positive one and Ju Ling is the negative one. You two can mobilize a battalion of infantry stationed in Balsamic Town. If there is an emergency, you can take action first without asking for instructions. ".

The two of them were extremely surprised. The power Xu Kuang gave them was too great.

Xu Kuang smiled and said to the two of them:

"Don't think too much, go quickly, I'm waiting for your good news.".

The two of them were busy preparing to go to Balsamic Ridge to take up their posts.
