Chapter 865: American Doomsday A New Breed of Soldier Brought About by a Microwave Donkey

  Spring light ripples in Xinhua Building.

  At this moment, in the Baojia Mansion in the city of Xichang, which is over 300 miles away, the atmosphere in the study room of the mansion, which has a grand momentum, carved beams and painted buildings, golden walls shining, and covers an area of more than 100 acres, seems a bit depressing.

  Niu Fumin, the highest administrative official of Xīnghé County, furrowed his two thick black eyebrows, intently listening to the latest intelligence report related to the Qinglong Ridge Iron Cavalry Alliance presented by Niu Huade, the commander of the Xīnghé Security Regiment.

  "Tribe leader, according to the intelligence just sent back by my insider in Canglong Ridge, Duanxun Gorge has already become someone else's territory, no need to question it. However, Duanxun Gorge does not belong to the Mu family, but rather the Tang family. Mu Hailin has led all the tribe members to surrender to the Tang Family Fortress."

  Around forty years old, Niu Huai De, who was about five feet three inches tall and had a sturdy build, lay half-reclined on the thick woolen blanket of the warm kang, his body turned sideways, holding an exquisitely crafted gold-inlaid jade pipe in his hand, bringing the pipe bowl close to the candle burning on the low table beside the kang, puffing on the opium while speaking in a loud and coarse voice:

  "It's still unclear what the Tángjiābǎo is all about, but today a flying boat from Tángjiābǎo arrived at Cānglóng Ridge and summoned Mù Hǎilín and his loyal subordinates onto the flying boat, plotting who-knows-what. In addition, it has been confirmed that the missing hundred-man team from Heifēng Village was completely annihilated by Láng Yīng's scouting team."

  "Isn't it the Black Wind Fortress people who are playing cat and mouse with Lang Ying's gang? How did they end up getting wiped out by the Iron Rider Alliance's horse thieves?" Lying on the other side of the warm kang, Niu Fumin, who looked stout and content, slowly put down the large pipe in his hand, shifted his plump body, and his face turned quite gloomy.

  "I haven't revealed this information to the one with the surname Ma yet." Niu Huai De said while taking two strong puffs of his cigar, his eyes showing a worried expression. "I deduce that they must have encountered a large batch of reinforcements from the Iron Cavalry Alliance, otherwise it would be impossible for over a hundred people to be killed and all traces erased afterwards. If that's indeed the case, I'm afraid Mu Hailin, that little fox, has already received wind of our alliance with Black Wind Fortress and made corresponding arrangements."

  "What evidence do you have for this conjecture?" Niu Fumin slanted his golden fish eyes and gave Niu Huade a sideways glance.

  Niu Huai De took a deep drag on his pipe, then set it down and sat up straight, leaning against the warm wall of the kang, his expression extremely solemn as he said: "After Mu Hai Lin led his men off the airship at Tang Family Fort, he immediately gathered all members of the Iron Rider Alliance, collecting all their weapons and saying that Tang Family Fort would be issuing them brand new military standard equipment. Next, Mu Hai Lin carefully selected over three hundred people to head to Tang Family Fort, bringing along all the old, young, women and children from Cang Long Ridge, not a single one of my people was chosen, so I wasn't able to obtain any more valuable intelligence from inside Tang Family Fort."

  "Are those family members being forced to be escorted, or are they going voluntarily?" Niu Fumin asked thoughtfully, his right hand's chubby fingers tapping lightly on the low table in a rhythmic pattern.

  "It's all voluntary relocation." Niu Huai De sighed and replied, "Because Mu Hai Lin said that the Tang Family Fortress in Duan Xuan Gorge was a blessed place, a paradise on earth."

  "Was Mu Haolin going to give up on Canglong Ridge?" Niu Fumin muttered to himself.

  "It doesn't look like it." Niu Huai De picked up the hot tea on the low table and took a sip, then continued: "Starting from this afternoon, Mu Hailin has arranged for a large number of people to re-repair and reinforce the construction work at Canglong Ridge. However, according to intelligence reports, there are only more than 100 people left guarding Canglong Ridge with Mu's third son, with only over ten short guns and no long guns, it can be said that they are basically not on guard. If a team of troops is arranged to launch a surprise attack at night, and then let my people inside respond from the outside, we should be able to take down Canglong Ridge in one go without any major problems."

  "Let's do it!" Niu Fumin's eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and he slammed his hand on the table, causing the candle flame to flicker wildly. "Old Five, immediately inform Ma Zhongqiang that the entire hundred-man team of Black Wind Fortress has been annihilated. You bring all the security troops and join forces with Ma Zhongqiang's men for a surprise attack on Canglong Ridge tonight. I'll also dispatch three hundred more guards to ensure that we wipe out Iron Rider Alliance in one battle!"

  "The chief's idea is that we launch a pincer movement and attack from both sides?" Niu Huai De also seemed to have some military strategy, his two cow eyes shining brightly.

  "Exactly!" Niu Fumin nodded and smiled: "Your people just need to surround Canglong Ridge, Mu Hailin will definitely lead his men and horses to leave Tangjia Fortress to rescue. At that time, you arrange a team of men and horses to cut off the road to Duansheng Gorge! Hehe, Mu Hailin and his more than 300 horse bandits will all become fish in a jar!"

  I have received reliable information that Cao Hailin, Mu Haolin's top advisor, is currently in Dihua and has already made contact with the people of the Governor's Office to discuss the matter of absorbing the Iron Rider Alliance. If we don't take advantage of the opportunity before Yang Da Governor arrives and absorbs the Iron Rider Alliance, it will be difficult for us to have such a good chance to completely eliminate the people of the Iron Rider Alliance at once."

  Niu Huai De paused for a moment, then said solemnly: "Tribe leader, I think the people inside Tang Family Fort shouldn't be heartless to the point of seeing someone die without rescuing them, should they?"

  "What I want is for the Tang family to take action and rescue us!" Niu Fumin said with a sinister smile: "We have more than 3,000 people and guns combined, plus the four Krupp field guns you just bought. Even if the terrain of Duanhun Gorge is treacherous, I believe that by then you will have enough troops to take down Tangjia Fortress! Duanhun Gorge is located in the territory of the Niu family, it can only be named after the Niu family!"

  "Hahaha! Clan leader, you're absolutely right, the Duanhun Gorge can only be named after the Cow family!" Niu Huade laughed loudly and magnificently, putting down his cigar and quickly getting up from the kang to put on his boots. He casually threw the blue-gray woolen military coat over his shoulder and walked out while laughing, saying: "Clan leader, just wait at home for my good news! Hahaha!"

  At this time, in Tangjia Bu, Xinhua Building.

  Tang Dynasty was comfortably closing his eyes, Lan Xin's light slid onto his waist, her slender waist twisted gently like a water snake, and her round and plump buttocks were slowly drawing circles on his body...

  Orchid heart's extraordinary pursuit of pleasure made Tang Dynasty feel an unusual thrill.

  Suddenly, Tang felt a palpitation and then sneezed several times in succession.

  Before Tang Dynasty could react, the "Little Tang Dynasty" who was standing with its head held high and furious suddenly opened its small mouth and sprayed out a powerful jet of...

  My god, I struggled all last night and finally shot out the "bullets" that had been stuck for half a year, but tonight I only lasted less than half an hour...

  The Tang Dynasty suddenly felt a little embarrassed to face the little girl in front of him.

  Feeling the surge of Tang Dynasty within her, Lan Xin's delicate body leaned forward, and she completely fell onto Tang Dynasty's body, casually pulling the brocade quilt to cover both of them.

  "You won't have caught a chill, will you?" Lan Xin leaned her head against Tang Chao's neck, looking up with a face full of springtime charm, and asked softly.

  "It shouldn't be me, I'm in good health!" Tang Chao shook his head with a gloomy expression: "I reckon someone's been thinking of me, I'm not the kind of person who gets thought about."

  "Hahahaha! Is that so? If it's really like that, you'll be sneezing non-stop all day and night!" Lan Xin laughed until her body trembled.

  "It's really a bit strange." Tang Chao muttered to himself: "I suddenly felt like something big was going to happen just now."

  "What's going on?" Lan Xin asked curiously.

  "I don't know." Tang Chao shook his head, "This is the first time in my life I've had this feeling, and I'm guessing it won't be anything good."

  "I don't know what you're busy with tonight, so I won't be able to help you analyze or deduce anything." Lan Xin twisted her slender waist and made a move to get up, "It's sticky down there, it's uncomfortable, I'll go heat some water for you to wash..."

  Tang Dynasty grasped her jade wrist, sighed and said: "Forget it, I'll do it myself. You were so forceful just now, the wound on your body wasn't healed yet, now it's probably swollen."

  "As long as you're comfortable, I'm fine, I can still bear it." Lan Xin said softly with a blush.

  "Silly girl!" Tang Chao reached out to ruffle her slightly disheveled hair, held her close for a moment, then scooped her up and carried her into the bathroom.

  Soon, the two of them finished washing up and put on their pajamas again. Tang Chao helped Lan Xin lie down in bed, then went out to his own bedroom, lit a cigar and put it in his mouth, before returning to Lan Xin's room, getting under the covers, leaning against the headboard, quietly smoking the cigar while pondering the strange palpitations he had felt earlier.

  After thinking for a long time, more than half of the cigar had been smoked, but still couldn't think of anything.

  She gazed at Tang's profile with her big, dark, watery eyes wide open.

  Tang Dynasty swept the cigarette ash to the ground, turned his face and smiled at Lan Xin: "What's with those big eyes still open, hurry up and close your eyes, go to sleep."

  "I couldn't sleep." Lan Xin climbed up and snuggled into Tang Chao's arms, acting coquettishly.

  Tang Dynasty changed to a more comfortable posture, leaning his body against the headboard, pulled the quilt over Lan Xin's shoulder, and wrapped his left arm around her, occasionally gently patting her back. "Be good, close your eyes, sleep, women can't stay up late, it's not good for their skin."

  "Mmm!" Lan gently placed her hands on Tang's waist, pressed her face against his firm abdominal muscles, and closed her large eyes lightly. Her long eyelashes curved upwards and quivered slightly from time to time, clearly pretending to be asleep.

  Looking down at the sweet smile hanging from her mouth, Tang Dynasty patted her small buttocks with his hand and said, "Don't pretend, go to sleep."

  "I can see that you're deeply troubled, of course I'm worried about you, how could I sleep?" Lan Xin opened her eyes and said in a soft voice, pouting her small mouth.

  Tang Dynasty sighed and said slowly, "At dinner time, Old Mu brought 320 relatively reliable people from Canglong Ridge to exchange new equipment. At the same time, he escorted all the families on Canglong Ridge to Tangjia Fortress. I reckon that within these two days, there will definitely be a fierce battle at Canglong Ridge."

  "Are you worried because of the war?" Lan Xin tried to help her man share his troubles.

  "It's not that I'm worried, this battle is a sure win for us." Tang Dynasty shook his head and smiled calmly: "I was thinking, Old Mu left all the people he thought were unreliable at Cang Long Ridge, and none of them had any weapons. This approach might trigger some unknown hidden dangers."

  "Bandits are bandits, you can't expect them to be united in heart and mind." Lan Xin said disapprovingly: "The four great horse bandits of Jiangnan have been intertwined with each other for many years. Everyone knows each other's hearts, but no one has pierced that layer of window paper yet."

  "Haha, looks like you know a lot, huh!" Tang Chao stretched out his index finger and gently scratched the bridge of Lan Xin's straight nose.

  "That's natural." Lan smiled complacently, raising her pretty chin. "When I was at Cang Long Ridge, secretly keeping an eye on the movements of the Iron Riders Alliance was a required course for me."

  "Didn't expect you're still a little detective!" Tang Chao couldn't help but take a few more glances at Lan Xin.

  "You think others are willing to do so!" Lan Xin pouted and said, "Old Madam often told me that the Iron Cavalry Alliance is the foundation of the Mu family, and we must be cautious at all times. All the servants in the Mu Mansion have a duty to pay attention to the words and deeds of everyone in the mansion, even including their emotions, which need to be recorded. For the past two years, I have been responsible for summarizing and organizing them before presenting them to Old Madam."

  "Did Old Lady Na tell you to report all my actions and words to her?" Tang Chao suddenly asked in a cold tone.
