However, the death of the soup gave them a huge deterrent, and no one dared to act rashly until the specific situation was discovered, at most it was just a hint.

For these people, Qi Wei is neither humble nor arrogant, while showing that the Volunteer Corps branch does not rely on any forces, he also makes it clear that he will not take any unfavorable actions against them, unless the other party has other intentions.

The rivers and lakes are difficult to mix, and being able to find a prince as a backer is what many Jianghu forces are willing to do.

Gong Yileng made an early move, so he naturally gained more supporters, and Gong Yibo has talked to the Volunteer Corps branch so far, and outsiders are not very clear.

So in a sense, the forces in the rivers and lakes around Beiming Town are basically controlled by Gong Yileng, except for the Volunteer Corps Branch.

Yichen instructed Qi Wei not to embarrass those Jianghu forces who have taken refuge in Gong Yileng, as long as the other party does not have a branch of the Volunteer Corps.

After all, whether Gong Yi is cold or Gong Yibo is a wave of the palace, they are all princes and highnesses of the Xuanbing Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with anyone else.

Even Yichen only helped Gong Yibo defeat Gong Yileng, and did not promise to help Gong Yibo and win the position of prince.

What Yichen has to do is actually to clarify Gong Yibo's attitude, that is, the matter of the Xuanbing Kingdom eradicating the Ice Burst Bandit Group.

Listening to Gong Yibo's tone, it is not clear that the Ice Burst Bandit Group is a subsidiary force of the Youyin Gate, once the old king accepts Gong Yibo's request to fight, the antagonistic state between the Xuanbing Kingdom and the Youyin Gate can be formed.

Qi Wei saw Yichen's cultivation strength, and was also infected by Yichen's way of doing things, and ensured the stable development of the Volunteer Corps branch before Kui Ye left the customs.

A month later, Kui Ye came out, and the first batch of brothers who practiced in retreat also had a very big harvest.

Under the auspices of the Kui Ye, the Volunteer Corps Branch openly conducted a competition between the commanders and the strong, showing part of the strength of the Volunteer Corps Branch to the outside world.

In order to enhance the overall strength, the Volunteer Corps Branch also organized a large-scale recruitment activity in the surrounding area of Beiming Town.

As long as the cultivation strength has reached a certain level, meets the requirements of the Volunteer Corps Branch, and has not joined other Jianghu forces, the strong can sign up for the assessment of the Volunteer Corps Branch.

Those who pass the assessment will officially become a member of the Volunteer Corps branch and enjoy the same treatment as other brothers.

As a result, those Jianghu forces who took refuge in Gong Yileng dispelled their original thoughts because they were afraid of the overall strength of the Kui Ye and the Volunteer Corps Branch.

In addition to Kuiye, the strong man of the war king, there are also a large number of high-ranking war commanders, and even the peak power of war commanders, and the number is still increasing.

What makes people even more envious and jealous is that there is a 'boss' with unpredictable strength from the Volunteer Corps Branch, which further strengthens the cohesion of the Volunteer Corps Branch.

In order to curry favor with Gong Yileng, it seems unwise to compete with the branch of the Volunteer Corps, which is gaining momentum.

Even if you have to force your head, you can't choose this time.

Through a series of activities, the strength of the Volunteer Corps branch was effectively revealed, and the surrounding area of North Styx Town remained stable for the time being.

Eliminating possible hidden dangers, Kui Ye put his energy into the second batch of brothers who were in retreat and cultivation.

And Yichen waited for the news from Gong Yibo two months later, but it was not the expected good news.

"His Majesty the King has given the task of exterminating the Ice Explosion Bandit Regiment to the Second Highness Gong Yi Leng ......"

Lord Li, who was in the dust, looked depressed, and he didn't dare to look at Yichen squarely.

Gong Yibo's oath was not as good as the old king's words, the battle was successful, and the task fell to the rival Gong Yileng.

After carefully preparing for a while, I thought things would go in the direction I expected.

But before Gong Yibo could be happy, he was poured a basin of cold water on the old king's head, and he was cold.

"What does Lord Li mean, is the old king biased towards Gong Yilen?"

Yichen only heard that before Gong Yiming left the palace, the old king was very fond of him.

didn't expect that Gong Yibo actually lost the trust of the old king, which didn't seem like the treatment Gong Yibo deserved.

"That's not it, it's mainly because His Royal Highness has a strong attitude, boasting about Haikou in front of all the ministers, saying that it will take the Ice Burst Bandit Regiment within three months, and it doesn't need a large number of officers and soldiers to go on the expedition. ”

Lord Li shook his head and explained helplessly: "It just so happened that there was another outbreak of plague in the disaster area, and His Majesty the King instructed His Royal Highness to take charge of this ......."

According to Lord Li, the old king felt that Gong Yibo was more suitable for doing something with brains than fighting and killing.

Everyone knows that the Ice Burst Bandit Group has been rampant for many years, and has had many battles with the court of the Xuanbing Kingdom, and it is a difficult bone to gnaw.

In view of the fact that Gong Yileng can use the power of the rivers and lakes, it can be regarded as a razing system, which does not need to consume too much, and can exterminate the bandits, such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, how can the old king refuse.

worked hard, but in the end it was for others to make a wedding dress, the palace was depressed, and Lord Li was depressed, but the king's life was difficult, what could he do except accept it.

"Three months...... What is Gong Yileng's reliance?"

Although Yichen didn't want to hear such a result, he wasn't too frustrated.

With Gong Yileng's proposition, winning the Ice Explosion Bandit Group within three months must have a certain degree of certainty, otherwise how dare he say big things in front of the courtiers.

"I thought he would use Ice Like Wind, but in fact, His Royal Highness didn't have this intention at all, it is said that he recruited more than ten War King powerhouses on the rivers and lakes, and wanted to destroy the Ice Burst Bandit Group through these people......"

Gong Yileng set out to recruit the strong people in the rivers and lakes as early as a few years ago, and it was quite effective, just the help of the strong man of the war king, there were more than a dozen.

According to the imperial court's understanding of the Ice Burst Bandit Troupe, they are no more than five War King powerhouses, and they are all beginners.

Compared with the two, Gong Yileng's advantage is very huge, and it represents the official of the Xuanbing Kingdom, so it will naturally be like a bamboo, and there is no suspense about victory.

Gong Yi announced in a high-profile manner that the dispatch of the eight war kings and powerhouses in the Jianghu forces only needs to be allocated by the imperial court to 10,000 officers and soldiers, and even generals above the rank of deputy general will not be used, and the rest of the people will be handled by himself.

Unlike the previous suppression of bandits, this time it was dominated by the forces of the rivers and lakes, and the 10,000 officers and soldiers of the imperial court were just a gimmick, and when the time came, they just had to pick the fruits of victory.

With such an attitude, the old king and some ministers of the court were impressed, and Gong Yileng's plan to ask for war was approved.

"I don't think it'......" A subtle smile flashed on Yichen's face.

On the surface, what Gong Yileng said was indeed true, the eight battle king powerhouses faced less than five of the Ice Burst bandit group, and there was no reason to worry about losing.

However, Gong Yileng is a prince after all, and he has no real experience in leading the army, and he does not have a thorough understanding of the situation on the rivers and lakes.

If you knew that the Ice Burst Bandit Group was the power of the Netherworld, I am afraid that Gong Yi Leng would not dare to say this.

"What does Captain Yi mean...... Second Highness can't complete the task, what is the reason?"

Master Li caught a slightly unclear look from Yichen's gaze, and couldn't help but increase his interest.

Regardless of whether there is help or not, it is incumbent on Lord Li to help Gong Yibo win the position of prince.

If Gong Yileng suffers a setback, it will give Gong Yibo a chance to win, and Lord Li wants to know the meaning of Yichen's words.

"Don't look at me like that, although I don't disdain Gong Yi's cold behavior, I will never help the Ice Burst Bandit Group to deal with the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. ”

Yichen glanced at Lord Li, and then said, "I'm interested in the mission of Gong Yibo, what's going on with the outbreak of the plague?"

Judging the reason why Gong Yileng may not succeed is based on the relationship between the Ice Explosion Bandit Group and the Youyin Gate, and no one dares to guarantee whether the eight battle king powerhouses will work together.

But it's not a consideration, how to sabotage Gong Yileng's anti-bandit action, even if Yichen hates Gong Yileng, it is impossible to stand on the side of the Ice Burst Bandit Group and the Youyin Gate.

"Alas, it's not easy to get it, tens of thousands of people have broken out of the plague, and nearly a thousand people have died, and there is a lack of medical treatment, so it's difficult......"

Speaking of the plague of the victims, Lord Li sighed again and again, not knowing whether he was feeling uncomfortable for the victims or sympathizing with the palace.

In the border areas of the Xuanbing Mountain Range, natural disasters such as ice and snow avalanches often occur, and the villagers in that area have no way to travel thousands of miles to make a living.

They can only gather in some seemingly relatively safe areas, barely making ends meet.

Due to the harsh living conditions and harsh environment, plague-like illnesses occasionally occur among the affected populations.

The remote location has almost no medical practitioners, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials, so even if someone can judge the disease, it is difficult to cure the sick victims.

Some time ago, in the depths of the Xuanbing Mountain Range, a rare high temperature suddenly appeared, and the hot and cold changed sharply, leading to a large-scale plague.

Of the tens of thousands of victims, nearly 1,000 died because of the plague, and the plague was not controlled, and the spread was becoming more and more rapid and terrifying.

"There should be a lot of doctors in the Xuanbing Kingdom, as well as the imperial doctors in the palace, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem for His Majesty the King to issue an edict ordering them to go to the disaster area. ”

It is a trivial matter to find hundreds of doctors in a dignified Xuanbing Kingdom, and it is also what the imperial court should do to organize it quickly to stop the spread of the epidemic.

Yichen didn't know what this matter was for when it came to Master Li, it became extremely tricky.

"Captain Yi forgot, Second Highness once looked for hundreds of doctors, but most of them were killed by the king killer......"

Master Li looked at Yichen with a dejected expression, spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders, looking helpless.

If it had been before, not to mention finding a hundred and ten healers, even if there were a little more, it would be easy to do, but the healers of the Xuanbing Kingdom were a little less accomplished in medical skills.
