When Yun Ping led a thousand vanguard troops to the base camp quickly, Xue Jian's brigade did not even reach the northern border.

According to Yunping's estimated marching speed, in ten days, the brigade should have just crossed the northern border line at this moment.

And on a hillside more than 500 miles from the northern border, the army actually camped here and stopped for two days.

This incident has made many people wonder, but no one dares to question the manager's decision.

After another day, the army marched again, but the speed of the march was extremely slow, and it was stopped and stopped, not at all like going out to fight, but really like a spring outing.

The whole army saw that the commander did not want to go to the front line at all and deliberately delayed time.

It was so slow, ten days passed in a flash, and the army had just crossed the northern border, and as soon as the line was crossed, Xue Jian ordered to find a hillside and settle down.

In the front-line camp, ten days have passed, and the army that the soldiers have been waiting for day and night has never arrived, which makes the military camp, which was originally high morale, become a little impetuous.

After another two days, this sense of impetuosity became more and more apparent, and some people even wondered if the army had encountered an ambush on the road.

Yun Ping was also anxious in the past two days, and he would stand at the gate of the barracks every day to take a look.

The high priest stood outside the tent, frowning and looking south, wondering what he was thinking.

After a moment, he waved over one of the guards and said.

"You immediately have a team of spies sent to the south to investigate and see where the reinforcements have gone?"

The guard nodded yes and turned away.

At this moment, thousands of miles away, the reinforcements stationed on the slope of a mountain have just pulled out of the village.

Xue Jian sat in the carriage, and the little girl in a green shirt sat next to her, her legs swaying back and forth, and asked.

"Aren't you going to the front to fight?

If so, let's just turn around and go back, and I'll talk to the emperor and let him be the head coach instead. ”

Xue Jian couldn't laugh or cry, how could this coach say that he could be replaced, and where did he show that he was afraid.

"There are some things that you can't rush to, you have to think about it a little more, think about it a lot. ”

Xue Jian said to her patiently.

These days, in addition to seizing the time to cultivate and improve the realm, Xue Jian is carrying out ideological education for this simple little girl who doesn't know anything.

Princess Qinglian looked confused, raised her head and said casually.

"I know what you mean, but I don't understand why we have to kill the Witch King, he is so powerful and loved by many people, I used to worship him. ”

Xue Jian sighed lightly and said slowly.

"You are too young, many things are not as clear as your royal brother, the witch king is powerful and loved by many people, but because of him, there are countless people who have been displaced and lost their homes. ”

Princess Qinglian turned her head and looked at Xue Jian curiously.

Xue Jian hesitated for a moment, and slowly said the matter of the Senwu tribe.

Regardless of whether the Witch King was doing it for his own selfish purposes or for another purpose, the fact that he broke the Witch God's oath and destroyed the Witch Tribe, which was once in the same line, was the biggest mistake he had done.

Xue Jian saw with his own eyes the tragic scene of the Senwu tribe, those unarmed children and women, all died tragically in the sea of fire.

In addition, no one in the country survived the disaster of Haifeng's national destruction, and these debts had to be repaid.

Even if you don't talk about the righteousness of these families and countries, just talk about how the people of the Southern Ming Empire lived, except for the capital, almost all other regions were at a very backward level.

Thieves are rampant, local gangs are the culprit, and the Witch King's Palace not only does not fulfill its responsibility of jurisdiction, but supports those evil forces.

If this was in Xue Jian's previous life, I am afraid that the peasants everywhere would have been unable to bear the oppression for a long time and would have rebelled.

Both the Witch King's Palace and the Emperor are inevitably involved in these crimes, and the Witch King should be guilty of the actual power.

Of course, Xue Jian did not talk to Princess Qinglian about these complicated livelihood issues.

He just said something about the Senwu tribe, and the little girl gritted her teeth angrily with anger in her eyes.

"It's so hateful, how can the witch king be like this, he will kill all those innocent people. ”

Xue Jian looked at the sky, and he didn't want to say some cruel words to Princess Qinglian.

If this time fails, many people will die in the Nanming Empire, and their Xuanyuan clan will not be able to escape the end of the annihilation.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed, and the slow marching speed of the army was like a snail, and the 50,000 troops who should have resisted the barracks for a long time had just reached the edge of the desert at this moment.

The spies sent by the high priest returned to the barracks and informed them of the situation, which immediately aroused the wrath of the crowd.

They were desperately working on the front line, and the reinforcements in the rear were actually playing in the mountains and rivers, stopping and stopping.

After the news spread, the morale of the troops in the barracks became unstable, and many generals even had the idea of withdrawing the troops.

In the commander's tent, the high priest sat at the table with a calm face, and the witch king stood on the other side with his hands behind his back, both of them were silent, and the tent fell into a deathly silence.

Yun Ping bowed his head and stood respectfully in the center, wanting to say something but not daring to speak.

After a long time, the high priest said slowly in a calm tone.

"I am afraid that there has been a mutiny in the capital, and the Witch King's Palace is no longer in power. ”

The Witch King was furious, looked at Yun Ping and asked.

"What is the origin of Helian Chong? Without his help, the little emperor of the Xuanyuan clan would never dare to do such a thing. ”

Yun Ping's body trembled, and under the pressure of the Witch King's powerful momentum, he seemed to be unable to even stand steadily.

He slowly told everything he knew about Helian Chong, including Helian Chong's marriage to the princess of Haifeng Kingdom.

After listening to his words, the high priest said calmly.

"I investigated this Helian Chong ten years ago, and he was a talent, but he saw that he was too small and too much to use, so I asked him to go to the south to become a local city lord.

Unexpectedly, ten years later, he seemed to be a different person, and he actually became so bold and courageous. ”

The Witch King frowned and said.

"There must be something wrong with this man. ”

The High Priest nodded.

"As early as more than half a month ago, when I learned that Helian Chong was the coach, I sent someone south to investigate his matter, and it is estimated that in a few days, the results of the investigation will be delivered. ”

After saying this, the high priest sighed softly, and his face showed remorse.

"It's me who underestimated that person, and the things that weren't handled in the south at the beginning should have been more cautious, and now there are endless troubles. ”

The Witch King was silent for a moment and asked.

"So what now? You can't really withdraw your troops. ”

The high priest seemed to have a strategy, picked up a secret letter from the table, and stood up.

"Since they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then I will pull them all into the water. ”

After saying that, a black-clad masked man quietly appeared in the big tent, and the high priest handed him the secret letter, and the masked man immediately disappeared without a trace.
