In the dead of night, in a bright study room in the imperial city of Zhao Xin's country, Zhao Lingyun frowned and looked at the two secret letters in his hand, rubbed his eyebrows and put the two secret letters on the table. The top of the two secret letters stated the reaction of the Jinhai clan to the death of Princess Yulan among the people and the court, while the other recorded in detail Jin Chengyong's attitude towards the matter, and Jin Chengyong's attitude was somewhat beyond the expectations of Zhao Lingyun and others.

Zhao Lingyun closed his eyes and pondered, he didn't expect Jin Chengyong to plan to forbear, let alone Jin Chengyong's plan to join forces with Zhao Xin's country to destroy Xia Geng's country five years later, and then want to annex Zhao Xin's country, Jin Chengyong, who has always been a humble gentleman, has such a majestic strategy. Thinking of these, the corners of Zhao Lingyun's mouth flashed with a hint of mockery, looking at the secret letter on the bookcase, Zhao Lingyun had a plan in his heart.

Early the next morning, Zhao Lingyun recruited Zhao Lingwu into the palace. showed the information about Jin Chengyong last night to Zhao Lingwu, and after Zhao Lingwu read it, he looked at Zhao Lingyun silently, not knowing what he wanted to do himself.

"Big brother, do you have any ideas?"

"It's up to you. ”

"After you get in touch with someone from the Jinhai Clan, I want you to find a suitable opportunity to reveal Jin Chengyong's plan to the people of the Xia Geng Clan in the middle of next year. First let their alliance between the two countries break down and be suspicious of each other. If Li Degong and Zang Forehead can't hold their breath, we can still watch a good show. ”

"Then the Jinhai clan will inevitably suspect me, and I don't know if I will send troops to provoke a border provocation in two years?"

"It's okay, since Jin Chengyong wants to fight against the Xia Geng clan in five years, then we will help him advance the time, and when they fight first, we will naturally attack the southern border of the Xia Geng clan. ”

"Your Majesty, are you going to launch the layout in advance?"

"Well, time is running out, since there is such a good opportunity, how can I miss it. As for my layout among the other two countries, it has been completed. It's just that there are still some small flaws, and after launching, you can still check and fill in the gaps. And the teacher has returned, so next year will be a great opportunity. ”

"Your Majesty, although I have been involved in your layout for several years, I know very little about your overall plan, can you tell me carefully how you plan to deal with the gate lord families of the two countries after the merger, and how to eliminate the resistance of the people of the two countries to the rule of my Zhao Xin clan?"

"Then you will know that these things will not be explained to you for a while. ”

"But ......"

"Big brother, are you worried that I will drag the Zhao Xin clan into the quagmire of endless war?"

"Exactly. ”

"Rest assured, I have a safe strategy to appease the people, and I will make the people of those two countries recognize the rule of my Zhao Xin clan over them from the bottom of their hearts. The people of those two countries have been oppressed by those family lords for thousands of years, and they have long complained, and my Zhao Xin clan is the spark that ignites their grievances. You should also know that in the past few years, people in those two countries have continued to immigrate to my Zhao Xin country, and the people's hearts are available. ”

"I will help you fulfill my long-cherished wish of the Zhao Xin clan for many years, and comfort the heroic spirits of my ancestors and ancestors of the Zhao clan. ”

"At that time, I will naturally announce to the world what you have done for my Zhao Xin clan, and at that time, the name of the eldest brother will inevitably be glorious through the ages, and I will enjoy the blood and food of my Zhao family's descendants. ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency. ”

"I just don't know, is the eldest brother still interested in this seat?"

"You don't believe me?"

"In fact, my dream has always been to wander the rivers and lakes with my loved ones. At the beginning, it was also forced by the situation that I had to compete with my eldest brother for this position, if I didn't fight, Qin'er and I might not know where to bury our bones. ”

"I'm not interested in this position right now, believe it or not. I just want to be like Uncle Wang, to be remembered by future generations as a virtuous king. I hope you can keep your promise and correct my name after you unify Jiunao Prefecture. And I now find that sitting in that position does not seem to be easy, you are seven years younger than me, but looking at the appearance of you now is not much different from mine, it seems that sitting in that position is extremely exhausting. ”

"Big brother, you have such a feeling now, I feel powerless when I sit in this position. Since his accession to the throne, he has been walking on thin ice, only afraid that he will make a mistake. When did you feel this way?"

"From being involved in your layout, you figured it out. I am indeed inferior to you, I was not wronged when I was defeated, and now I am convinced by you. And since I let go of the heart to compete with you, the realm that has not been loosened for many years has actually broken through, and I am now a cultivator of the sixth layer of the Apocalypse Realm. ”

Zhao Lingyun looked at Zhao Lingwu's calm eyes, and there was no longer the violent aura that flashed from time to time in his eyes, and it became calm and natural. couldn't help but say: "Big brother, your current state will arouse the suspicion of Jin and Xia." ”

"I'm going to play my part, I'm going to make myself even more arrogant in the future. ”

"Then big brother, you have to be careful, my Zhao Xin clan has always been no shortage of chivalrous people, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of dying. ”

"I'll take notice. ”

......

Half a month later, Yue Qianming signed a treaty with Xia Geng's country according to the established plan, because of the impact of Princess Yulan's assassination, Xia Geng's country was not as strong as it was at the beginning, and many excessive requirements were reduced. It was written in that treaty that the two countries would continue to deepen exchanges and expand trade between the two countries, and that the two countries would each withdraw their troops for another hundred miles to expand the buffer zone.

As for the attack on the mission, the Xia Geng clan found one hundred and ten death row prisoners from the prison, and tattooed the tattoo of the Red Flame Wolf Rider on their bodies, which was regarded as giving Yue Qianming and others an explanation. Yue Qianming's mission on this trip was a complete success, and naturally he did not dwell too much on this matter.

When the Xia Geng clan was tracking down the source of Zang Shiling's poison, he also pulled out the black market smuggling transactions of the Xia Geng clan, and the gate valve was even involved, and Mu Renzhong, the secretary of the criminal department, was under pressure from all sides and had to stop the investigation. There was also a metaphor of Li Degong, and the case was closed in a hurry.

In the end, the conclusion was that Zang Shiling coveted Princess Yulan's beauty and wanted to do something wrong, and in the end, the two killed Princess Yulan in the middle of the fight. Later, he was broken by someone and killed on the spot by the palace guards, which had nothing to do with the rest of the Zang family, and was purely Zang Shiling's personal behavior.

When Li Chengji and Jin Chengyi saw the closing report of the Criminal Department, the anger in their hearts can be imagined. And the Xia Geng clan gave a lot of compensation to the Jinhai clan, and even compensated a spiritual mine close to the west to the Jinhai clan, so as to temporarily appease the angry Jin Chengyi and others.

After the arrival of the delegation that took Princess Yulan's bones back to China, Li Chengji, who had crossed paths with Tang Qing, looked at Tang Qing's red and bloodshot state, and felt even more guilty in his heart.

When Li Chengji was in Kyoto, the country of Jinhai, he and Tang Qing were-for-tat everywhere until the later sympathy, and the friendship between the two was very complicated. When Li Chengji married Princess Yulan again, he promised Tang Qing that he would protect Yulan, but the words were still in his ears, and Yulan's bones were cold.

When Tang Qing, Jin Chengyi and others took away Yulan's bones, Tang Qing only said to Li Chengji, "Li Chengji, I will definitely avenge Lan'er, the Zang clan will be destroyed, and this Qingling City will be broken one day." ”

Li Chengji looked at the Lingyu coffin in the distance, and his heart was infinitely sad, and he turned around and looked at Naqing Lingcheng again. At this time, in Li Chengji's eyes, the magnificent and majestic Qingling City was like a huge cemetery full of ghosts, full of monsters that chose people to devour. The winter sun that sank in the west pulled Li Chengji's figure long, and he said with grief and indignation in his heart: "Lan'er, I will let the entire Zang family accompany you to the funeral." ”

When Yue Qianming and the others returned to Zhao Xin's country, it was already December. Chun Yuhou led the team back to Beijing to resume his life, while Yue Qianming stayed in the north and began to lay out the military deployment of the Jiugou and Eight Fort bandits led by Lin Taozhai.

After nearly a month or so of investigation, and the aerial assistance of the Eagle Guard, we finally figured out the trajectory of this group of highly mobile bandits. Yue Qianming also surveyed the terrain of the areas where the bandits often operated.

Due to the frequent movements of the northern legions, it has aroused the vigilance of the bandit leader Wang Zhengqian, and the bandits of the Nine Ditches and Eight Forts have been broken into pieces and hid in the secret strongholds of the mountains in the north, and now there is no one in the Nine Ditches and Eight Forts.

Yue Qianming summed up the information obtained from the investigation, and after conducting on-the-spot investigations, he had a clear understanding of the style of action and action of this gang of bandits. As long as this gang of bandits relaxes their vigilance and returns to the cottage, it only takes a surprise attack to wipe out all of them.

However, at this time, Yue Qianming was frowning and looking at a piece of information about the bandit leader Wang Zhengqian in his hand. This person is about 30 years old, with an ominous origin, and most of the materials he has stolen appear in the black market of Xia Geng's country, and the black market of Xia Geng's country is controlled by He, Lou, Yu, and Ji. From the analysis of the intelligence obtained, it seems that the border army of the Xia Geng clan also participated in it, making it convenient for this gang of bandits.

On weekdays, only these four families are rarely robbed by Wang Zhengqian, so it is speculated that these four families are supporting this gang of bandits behind their backs. Or it is very likely that the bandits of these nine ditches and eight forts are the private soldiers raised by these four families.

Wang Zhengqian was quite strict with his subordinates and implemented militarized management. Among the eight forts, there are more than 500 people each, and there is a castle owner, only when the large caravan is plundered, the eight forts will come out together, led by Wang Zhengqian, and they basically do their own things on weekdays.

The five hundred bandits who were exterminated by the Eagle Guard at the right time were a joint operation from the three forts of Congning Fort, Solidification Fort, and Heyi Fort in Yuzhu Ditch, Feijia Ditch, and Sharp Blade Ditch, intending to rob the three first-grade elixirs and one top-grade sea medicine purchased by the Liujing Hall in Xia Geng's country.

After Yue Qianming put away the reconnaissance report in his hand, he left the camp tent and looked up at the gloomy sky, as if there were signs of snow. As he walked, he watched the training scene of the soldiers in the north in full swing, until he came to the empty Eagle Guard camp.

Yue Qianming was shocked after seeing that the Eagle Guard had wiped out a 500-person bandit army, but he himself had zero casualties, even if a 100-person martial arts team wanted to solve the problem of this 500-person bandit army, it would inevitably be damaged, how did this Eagle Guard do it?

Looking at the report of the Eagle Guard, they suddenly encountered this gang of bandits, and they did not plan in advance, which is even more incredible. Yue Qianming came to Jiang Chen to ask him how he did it.

Looking at the empty Eagle Guard camp, Yue Qianming was even more curious about how these teenagers trained, and wondered if he could take something out of Jiang Chen and use it in the training of the Martial Arts Squad and the Electric Ox Legion.

He immediately called a soldier and asked him to wait for the Eagle Guard to return to the camp, and then ask Jiang Chen to come to him. Yue Qianming thought about asking Jiang Chen for a training method, his face was also a little red, his teacher actually wanted to seek a new training method from his own students, and his face was naturally a little unbearable. But then I thought that the blue is better than the blue, and I should feel relieved as a teacher.

Yue Qianming still didn't know about the existence of the "Thunder Arrow", if he knew that Jiang Chen and the others had developed a new long-range attack weapon, he would naturally have no doubts in his heart. And the training method of the Young Eagle Guard was also slightly changed to a training method suitable for air combat on the basis of the training of the martial arts team, and it was not as complicated as Yue Qianming thought.
