Chapter 140 Crisis

Wang Yajie arrived, followed by Xiao Jian.

Xiao Jian even greeted Yuan Munye enthusiastically.

"Well, what's the intel?"

After Yuan Munye responded, he immediately asked about the information.

Wang Yajie said, "Brother Yuan, the situation doesn't look good. The army of evil spirits is less than ten kilometers away from us and could attack us at any time."

Hearing this, Yuan Munye's heart sank, and he became more serious.

"Is there currently any momentum to attack?"

Yuan Munye continued to ask.

"There's no sign of an impending attack, but they're so close to us now that they could launch an attack at any time. I'm worried that our outer defenses won't hold for long."

Wang Yajie's tone was filled with worry.

Yuan Munye naturally felt the same way, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Don't worry, it won't happen. People from inside Jiangcheng City will definitely come to support us. If this place falls, they won't be able to hold on for long inside either."

Wang Yajie responded softly, feeling that Yuan Munye made a lot of sense.

They wouldn't dare to abandon even Yanjiang County.

How could they abandon this outer area?

"Brother Yuan, what do we do next?"

Wang Yajie waited for Yuan Munye to give the order. Yuan Munye thought for a moment and asked, "How much territory have we expanded outward from here?"

"It's quite large overall."

Li Pangpang said.

"And how many people are there?"

Yuan Munye continued to ask.

"Including everyone, there are roughly twenty thousand in total."

Li Pangpang answered once again.

Yuan Munye and Wang Yajie certainly didn't know these details as well as Li Pangpang did, since they had only just returned.

Li Pangpang had been in charge here all along, so it was normal for him to know these figures.

This also showed that Li Pangpang hadn't been idling around here all this time.

This made Yuan Munye feel somewhat gratified, and he asked, "Brother Pang, how long will the current food supply last for everyone here?"

Hearing Yuan Munye's words, Li Pangpang looked worried and said, "Lao Yuan, I was just about to talk to you about this. The current food supply will only last everyone here for a week at most."

Yuan Munye hummed and then said, "I'll report this to the higher-ups."

In fact, Yuan Munye still had a warehouse full of food, but that warehouse was currently in Yuncheng.

Distant water couldn't quench an immediate fire.

There was nothing they could do about the current situation.

"Yajie, Brother Pang, gather everyone closer to the city walls. Arrange for unified food and drink distribution, and be ready at any time. If there isn't enough food and tents, use this to exchange for them."

Yuan Munye had quite a few ghost stones now.

He quickly took out a level-five ghost stone and gave it to Li Pangpang.

Seeing the level-five ghost stone in Yuan Munye's hand, Li Pangpang was a little surprised. After taking it, Li Pangpang said to Yuan Munye, "Lao Yuan, don't worry, I'll definitely ensure that everyone here has enough to eat and drink."

"Good."

After a brief discussion, everyone began to disperse.

Xiao Jian didn't leave, however, and said to Yuan Munye, "Brother Yuan, can we get through this crisis?"

Xiao Jian didn't look very old, and his eyes were filled with light as he asked Yuan Munye.

This made Yuan Munye unsure how to answer.

After waiting for a while, Yuan Munye finally said, "What do you think?"

Xiao Jian paused for a moment and said, "I think we definitely can."

"Then we can."

Yuan Munye suddenly said.

"Alright, hurry up and go with your Brother Wang."

Yuan Munye said lightly.

Xiao Jian responded and ran off.

Yuan Munye looked at Xiao Jian's back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

It was probably around eleven in the morning.

This time of day was when yang energy was at its peak, but even so, it still couldn't hinder some evil spirits, only having an effect on evil spirits with no rank.

For level-five evil spirits and ghost generals, the daytime no longer provided any suppression.

Yuan Munye fell into deep thought at this time, and his heart couldn't help but sink.

Of course, in this situation, they probably wouldn't launch an attack during the day, but tonight was another matter.

The situation in Jiangcheng was precarious.

He wondered what the reaction would be from Yuncheng.

Just as Yuan Munye was thinking about these things, a figure appeared next to him without him knowing when. Yuan Munye looked at the figure and said, "You..."

"What? Can't I be here?"

Before Yuan Munye could finish speaking, Jiang Lan interrupted him.

In response, Yuan Munye had no choice but to remain silent.

He walked straight away.

However, Jiang Lan watched Yuan Munye walk away and quickly caught up.

Jiang Lan caught up to Yuan Munye and said, "Do you think I'm a burden?"

Hearing Jiang Lan say this, Yuan Munye suddenly realized that Jiang Lan's strength was actually quite good.

However, Jiang Lan's background made Yuan Munye feel a little troubled. This matter was not so easy to handle.

"Secretary Jiang, your position is higher than mine. I can't arrange anything for you. Ask Director Chen to arrange something for you."

Yuan Munye didn't hesitate at all and passed the buck to Director Chen.

Hearing Yuan Munye say this, Jiang Lan didn't delay and went to find Director Chen.

Director Chen was also arranging things and was troubled to see Secretary Jiang coming again.

Director Chen looked troubled, but he already had a way to deal with it.

"Director Chen..."

Just as Jiang Lan shouted the three words "Director Chen", Director Chen said, "Secretary Jiang, your timing is perfect. I just happen to have something to tell you."

Hearing this, a look of anticipation appeared on Jiang Lan's face. She thought Director Chen was going to arrange some task for her.

So she asked, "What is it, Director Chen?"

"Your brother will be arriving soon. You'll be responsible for receiving your brother then."

Director Chen finished speaking.

Jiang Lan's expression became unsightly. "Director Chen, did you ask my brother to come? Did you tell my brother I was here?"

Director Chen quickly said, "Secretary Jiang, you're mistaken. I don't have that kind of ability."

"I don't care, Director Chen. No matter who comes today, I won't leave."

Just as Jiang Lan finished speaking, a voice rang out from outside, "Really? Xiao Lan, I'm here. You won't leave?"

This familiar voice made Jiang Lan's expression change instantly. When she turned her head to look, she saw a tall man in uniform walking in.

"Brother, why did you come so quickly?"

Jiang Lan quickly shouted.
