18. Cold-blooded

"I'll talk about that later. Huang Shouyi suddenly rolled up the recall letter again and put it in his arms.

Tang Tianqi was stunned, but he had worked hard and paid a lot of price to get the task of escorting the recall. As long as Yan Li is dismissed, he can take over as the commander in the name of the leader of the reinforcements, and beat the demons back, which will be a great credit, and his reputation will grow as quickly as a snowball;

Who would have thought that Huang Shouyi would actually protect Yan Li?

"Elder Huang, what do you mean?" When Tang Tianqi came back to his senses, his anger suddenly rose.

Huang Shouyi said very unceremoniously: "What do you mean? Lao Tzu didn't say it clearly enough? The latest information shows that the demon clan has assembled a large army fifty miles away and will attack at any time. The art of war is your introductory lesson, don't you know that changing in battle will be a taboo for soldiers?"

Tang Tianqi forcibly held back his anger and said: "You are the Great Elder, but you also have no authority to postpone the execution of the deposition, this is the will of several Dao Commanders! Also, you also know that the demon army will attack at any time, if you don't dismiss Yan Li at this moment and let the reinforcements enter the city, can you hold Longlie City with these remnants of the defeated army?"

As soon as these words came out, the people in the small hall were displeased. Even those who were not on Yan Li's side changed their position and said with a sneer: "I also have the same question as the commander at the moment: why can't the reinforcements enter the city when the commander is in power?"

Yan Li saw that the time was ripe, and immediately smiled: "You have worked hard from afar, we are about to discuss military affairs, it is better to avoid it." - Someone, take the guests down to rest. ”

Several Sword Court disciples rushed in and stared at Tang Tianqi unkindly.

Tang Tianqi glanced at Yan Li coldly, then turned to Huang Shouyi, suppressing the hot emotions in his chest, "Elder Huang has a word, when will this deposition be read?"

Huang Shouyi also glanced at Yan Li, and said lightly: "When Long Lie was lost. ”

"Okay, good!" Tang Tianqi laughed angrily, "I want to see how you can defend against the attack of the demons!"

Yan Li nodded slightly to Huang Shouyi, "Thank you." ”

Huang Shouyi: "Yan Xiao'er, we have already gambled on Dragon Lie City for you, what are you planning, tell us clearly now!"

Yan Li smiled: "When the time comes, you will naturally understand, and there is no need to dictate." ”

Huang Shouyi's face sank, "At this moment, you still have to hide?" That's it, you are the commander, I only look at the result! The demon clan is about to attack, you are the commander, you must come up with a charter, right?"

Yan Li smiled: "Don't worry, I have a guest who is about to arrive." He may be more scared of life, and he will not show up when he sees you here. ”

Huang Shou was angry and co-founded himself to keep him, but he didn't even have the qualifications to discuss "big things", so he threw down a sentence of "You'd better be sure" at the moment, and then left angrily.

When everyone saw that the Great Elder was gone, they also left.

Yuan Qianquan stared at the Qiankun Ring on the table next to Yan Li, a little unwilling, and some regretted not reading the contents inside, otherwise he could at least know the reason for the change between the Great Elder and the others.

"Is there anything else Elder Yuan does?" Yan said.

"No, it's okay......" Yuan Qianquan came back to his senses, responded absentmindedly, walked to the door, and closed the door by the way. He stood outside the door and looked, it was getting late, and the light of the slanting sun was already faint. He first pretended to stay away, secretly pinched halfway through, hid his breath and figure, and then turned back, jumped onto the roof, and carefully lifted a tile to look down.

The so-called "guest" didn't seem to have arrived yet, and Yan Li sat in his original position and stared at him.

I'll see who your so-called guest is!

Yuan Qianquan secretly made up his mind to figure out what tricks Yan Li played, so he waited calmly. After about half an hour, the sky had completely darkened, and he suddenly heard a "coming", and immediately leaned out of his senses, and sure enough, he noticed a black shadow falling on the roof, and the figure seemed to be a woman. He noticed that the woman's gaze was quite keen, and glanced at his hiding place a few times, although he was not found, but it also made him tremble.

The woman rolled down, flashed into the small hall from the windowsill, and nodded on one knee in front of Yan Li, without saying anything, just handing over a Qiankun bag.

Yuan Qianquan saw that the Qiankun bag was nothing special, so he looked at the woman carefully, and suddenly felt a surprise in his heart: "Peerless killer! Could it be that all the people from Yanziwu are here?"

The woman suddenly said, "Childe, why don't you let someone from Yanziwu help you." ”

Yan Li probed the Qiankun bag, shook his head and said, "This is a matter of the Nine Great Dao Sect, there is no reason to let Yanziwu get involved." Besides, the human world is not peaceful, if you all come, Dragon Lingcheng will change hands in a blink of an eye. Okay, you can do one more thing for me, and you can go back. ”

The woman said, "Madame told me to stay and keep you safe." ”

Yan Li said: "Do you listen to me or to Madame?"

"Listen to you. The woman said.

"That's it. Yan Li flipped his hand and took out a ball-shaped treasure the size of a dragon's eye and handed it to the woman.

The woman then came to her senses, went up to the roof again, squatted down near Yuan Qianquan, and also lifted a piece of tile, and aimed the spherical treasure at Yan Li's location.

Yuan Qianquan only felt inexplicable, and he didn't know what Yan Li was going to do. He was so nervous that he didn't dare to move, for fear that the woman would find out his traces, and the elders of the dignified Taoist Court peeped at the disciples of the Sword Court, if it was spread out, it would really be a shame to go home.

In the next few hours, Qinghui had slipped away in a blink of an eye, and the clear light had changed from bright to faint, and the night breeze blowing from afar faintly carried some familiar stench, Yuan Qianquan knew that it was the unique body odor of the demon and the ghost. Smelling this smell, he knew that the demon army was still attacking after all. The smell that was once extremely disgusting now smells so sweet.

He watched Yan Li's expression gradually become cold, and his fingers tapped the tea case again and again, and his mood became very happy. It seems that the so-called guest did not show up as he expected, so his plan failed.

Not long after, a spy came to the door of the small hall and said in a deep voice: "Commander Qiqi, the demon army has been assembled and has reached twenty miles away. ”

"I [txt fo] know. Yan Lidao.

Yuan Qianquan stared at Yan Li carefully, expecting to find irritability or panic on his face, but there was neither. He suddenly noticed that the scout had not left, and was still standing in front of the door of the small hall.

"What's the matter? "Yan Li naturally found out.

The spy pushed the door open and walked in slowly, Yuan Qianquan saw the face of the spy, and his heart suddenly set off a storm. "Why is he? Could it be that Yan Xiao'er is really an undercover agent of the Demon Clan?"

"Are you a demon?" Yan Li was a little surprised.

Yuan Qianquan was confused all of a sudden, looking at Yan Li's performance, he didn't seem to know the person who came.

The person who came smiled heartily: "Yan Shifang Yan Daxia, this should be our first official meeting. My name is Ye Qiuchi. ”

Yan Li squinted and said, "It's actually you." If you dare to come to me, you won't be afraid that you won't be able to get out?"

Ye Qiuchi said with a smile: "The demon army has already been overwhelmed, doesn't Yan Daxia want to have one more friend?"

Yan Li said: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend, this is naturally true, but why should I believe you?" Ye Qiuchi said: "If it wasn't for my design, how would you have the opportunity to spend the Spring Festival with my senior sister? If she gains power, she will kill me and then be fast. In this way, it is not only the demons who want to deal with you, if you don't win an ally, Dragon Lie City will definitely not be protected, and you will not be able to do it for a long time. ”

Yan Li said, "Oh, then what does Brother Ye teach me?" He moved a chair behind Ye Qiuchi in the air, expressing his sincerity.

Ye Qiuchi was also not polite, and sat down naturally, "In the years that my senior sister has been away, I have secretly cultivated a lot of cronies. More than half of the people who are fighting with her now are my people. Not only can I easily access their battle plans, but I can also make it easy for you to win when it matters most. ”

Yan Li said: "Brother Ye should know about the gambling contract. ”

Ye Qiuchi said with a smile: "Of course, the whole area of Chiyou belongs to you." ”

Yan Li also laughed and said, "Then it's easy to say." However, isn't it difficult to feel at ease in my heart to suffer such a huge bargain for no reason? What does Brother Ye need me to do?"

Ye Qiuchi was still smiling, but there was suddenly no trace of warmth in his eyes, and he said lightly: "I want Li Hongxiang not to return to the Demon Realm alive." ”

Yan Li said: "You hate her like this?"

"Hate her?" Ye Qiuchi shook his head and muttered, "No, I don't hate her, but I respect her and love her, but there is only one position of the Demon Lord." I carry the hopes of my whole race on my back, and I have never been allowed to fail. ”

Yan Li said: "How do you do it?"

Ye Qiuchi said: "Specifically, I will send someone to inform you." As he spoke, he threw an envelope to Yan Li, "To show sincerity, this is Li Hongxiang's attack plan tonight, you can send troops to break them one by one, and my people will cooperate with you......" When the last word fell, the person had disappeared.

Yan Li read the contents inside, smiled, and shouted loudly: "Someone!"

The guards outside the courtyard heard it and hurriedly ran in.

"Pass my order, open the city gates, and the whole army will attack!"

Within a quarter of an hour of the order, the already prepared army was ready to attack.

On the city tower, Huang Shouyi, Tao Qian and others gathered beside Yan Li, and their expressions were still suspicious.

Yan Li didn't give them a chance to inquire, but assigned the orders one by one, and then it was Yuan Qianquan's turn, he didn't rush to assign, but said with a smile: "Elder Yuan, have you ever longed for victory?"

Yuan Qianquan couldn't stay calm after witnessing something like that. After all, this can be regarded as ironclad evidence of "collusion" with the demons. It's just that the beneficiaries are the nine parties. He didn't know whether to say it or not, so his mind was very confused, and he couldn't react when Yan Li asked him like this, "Huh?

Yan Li pointed to the people up and down the city tower, whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, after learning that the coalition army was going to take the initiative to face the demon clan, they were all very active and enthusiastic, which could be seen from their expressions. "It's better for the demon clan to go back to the demon realm, what does Elder Yuan think?"

Yuan Qianquan had already reacted, and finally understood that from the beginning, Yan Li knew that he was peeping, so he asked the Peerless Killer to record his meeting with Ye Qiuchi with a photo ball to prevent his own slander. On the one hand, he was a little angry at Yan Li's villain's heart, and he was grateful that the other party did not expose his voyeurism, and his mood was very conflicted for some reason.

Isn't it a good thing to beat the demons back, no matter what the process is? The blood in his body seemed to surge rapidly, which made his face glow red. At this time, the front teeth that had just been filled seemed to ache faintly, but this pain was buried by the boiling blood.

"That's right. ”
