The raid was successful, even if Xia Xiao and Ah Candle didn't see anyone, they went back to their rooms to rest. But the people of the Great Xia Alliance were still very festive, and threatened to eat meat with a meal today to celebrate.

The back kitchen got approved, smiled on his face, and began to get busy. As soon as the war started, there were many happy events, from the holy to the logistics, everyone was very happy, and it was time to have a good meal to boost morale again.

The whole barracks was filled with joy, and everyone was full of strength. The mood of the wounded was better than usual, the depression caused by the injury was washed away, and they were in piles, discussing how Xia Xiao should attack in order to get out of the way. It is not a good thing for everyone to deify Xia Xiao with their own gossip, because they are all looking forward to the early recovery of their injuries and the ability to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

The generals did not indulge in joy, and were even more nervous than usual, if they didn't use this opportunity to establish a greater advantage, they would all be sorry for Xia Xiao's desperate efforts. Therefore, a meeting was held and an active attack was planned tomorrow.

Everyone is controversial, Daxia is the passive side of this war, and it should not have taken the initiative. Because of the great risk of that, the Nanshang occupied their city and had a strong defense, but they still had to try it again and began to map out a route of attack. The strategists and generals all discussed, and today they must give an accurate plan, tentatively scheduling an attack at dawn tomorrow.

While the plan for the attack was being discussed here, the NCC was also reflecting. But both the iron-masked general and Wang Ling felt that they should take the lead in solving the problem of internal arrogance and distrust.

The old man who had previously pursued Xia Xiao and the others stood in front of the cultivators, one level lower in front of Wang Ling like the big and small generals, although Wang Ling invited them to sit down, and he had great respect for the powerhouses of the Qu Wheel and the Fruit Realm. But what he was about to say made these strong men feel that they couldn't hold their face, and even felt that Wang Ling was insinuating.

The hall-like tent was crowded, and Wang Ling, who had been approved by the emperor and repeatedly promoted, had the power that everyone had to listen to Xia Xiao's words as an academy student and prince who knew Xia Xiao best. The moment he gained power, Wang Ling did not have to worry about his words being ignored again, and the stern record of the Nanshang army finally did not disappoint him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we are seriously injured, and it will be difficult to launch a large-scale attack in the coming week, I hope you will reflect on it, and I hope you will take the information about Xia Xiao that I put forward before. ”

"How's the yew grass?"

The person who asked was the strongest Qulun cultivator in the Nanshang Empire, and he was also the old man who had launched an attack on Xia Xiao and Ah Candle before, and he was called Ji Lao by everyone. At this time, he didn't really care about the situation of Yew, because he didn't think that Xia Xiao would attack there, and as for why the latter stayed, it might be difficult to get out of the city. As long as Xia Xiao wants to hide, he really can't find it.

And what he did was just to tell Wang Ling that he didn't rely on his identity to be big or small, as long as the yew had enough food and grass, he could still march and attack. Even if he has some talent, he shouldn't meddle too much in these things, after all, he is just an outsider, and talking too much will only seem incompetent, and it won't prove anything.

Ji Lao was also a member of the academy, and most of the powerhouses in the Qulun Realm behind him were from the academy, so what kind of capital did Wang Ling have to be proud of? Ji Lao was most disgusted with people who were on top, and the emperor wanted to give him three points in front of him. But since Wang Ling lectured in front of him, he also put on an extremely arrogant look, which made him very unaccustomed to it.

Faced with Ji Lao's question, Wang Ling did not answer immediately, but just looked to the side. The cultivator who had gone to Yew had returned, and at this time he bowed his head and said:

"The loss of yew grain and grass is more serious than ours, and I'm afraid we won't be able to fill our stomachs tomorrow. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, unbelievable, and Ji Lao was silent. Since Xia Xiao really went to Yew, where did this guy's guts come from?

As the person who knows Xia Xiao the most among everyone, Wang Ling then spoke:

"I said in advance that since Xia Xiao has come to the battlefield, he will not stop, he is always thinking about how to defeat us, and he will not let go of any opportunity to frustrate us. He is brave and ruthless, and with Ah Candle's cooperation, he can go anywhere. To put it mildly, don't look at the presence of so many strong people, even if he passes behind us, we can't feel it. ”

Everyone subconsciously turned around, but this small action made everyone feel a burst of fear. Because they have already determined in their hearts His height, it will be difficult to change it in the future. If someone praised the enemy like this, whether it was the Iron Mask General or all the cultivators, they would reprimand them loudly, but Wang Ling would also say even more exaggerated words.

"Xia Xiao is a person who can modify the mandate of heaven, and if we stand on the opposite side of him, we are going against the mandate of heaven. It is very difficult to defy the destiny of heaven, and the old man of Ji must have found out, when he concealed his breath, he really couldn't perceive it at all. As soon as I came back, I said some questions, but people didn't care. Yesterday afternoon, I was given the authority by my father to send soldiers and cultivators to take care of the granary square, but how many people cooperated? Although I said that it was not good, I might guess what Xia Xiao thought, but everyone disappointed me. ”

"Except for the strategists, most of them were cultivators, and the perception of the cultivators was several times, even ten times stronger than that of ordinary people. But why did no one put out the fire in time after discovering that it was on fire? When I arrived, there were only 10 cultivators at the scene, and what about the others? What about the tens of thousands of cultivators in Fujikawa? Do those cultivators who have not yet arrived feel that they have a status higher than ordinary people, so they can be held high and must be held in their hands? Or do they say that they have the position of a general, and everything should be done by their subordinates? On weekdays, I Nanshang treats the cultivators with courtesy, and the treatment is not bad, but your performance is really chilling. ”

"After extinguishing the fire, including me and the Great General, there were only thirteen cultivators in total. Even if we tried our best, we couldn't save much food and grass, and we couldn't recover what was burned by the flames. But if there are more people, will we be able to keep more grain and grass? Putting it aside, is everyone's temperament a little too arrogant or even lazy? And the most important thing is that I have clearly explained that the soldiers and cultivators are guarding the granary together, why is it the fire that the patrol team discovered? The soldiers guarding the grain and grass are sleeping soundly, or do everyone think that there are cultivators and they can be lazy. All of you here, who dares to say that your cultivation can lead to becoming a god, since you don't have that capital, you have to fulfill your duties! The discipline of our military must be redefined. ”

"At that time, the non-commissioned officers guarding the granary had been dealt with in accordance with military law, and everyone was told of the seriousness of the matter. When you go back, tell your troops that all cheer up, rest well when you rest, and don't make a mistake when you stand guard!"

The iron-masked general felt that Wang Ling's tone of speech was a bit heavy, and the scope of the blow was still very large, so he had to end the topic. Ji Lao understood what he meant, although the iron-masked general said that he was fierce, even brutalized the people of Great Xia, and launched the order to slaughter the city, he was not a good person, but he was a good enough general. However, Ji Lao asked Wang Ling:

"What does Your Highness think we should do next?"

"It will take a long time for the grain and grass to come, and we can only survive these few days with the grain of Heitai for the time being, but we can't do without action in these days, they raid, and we also attack. ”

"How?"

This kind of marching plan had nothing to do with Ji Lao, but he still asked, in order to know how much was in the belly of Wang Ling. Wang Ling has thought about it and told the story:

"According to what I know about Xia Xiao, his raid this time is definitely more than that, he has never been a conservative person, and in the face of the death of the country, he must be more risky than usual. He wants to expand his advantage, so there will definitely be a tendency to attack in Great Xia in the next few days, we are ready to attack, as long as they dare to leave the barracks and come, we will destroy them and leave no one alive. ”

Ji Lao nodded slightly, feasible is feasible, but asked:

"What if they don't come?"

"Xia Xiao may not come, but there will be an army attacking in Great Xia. ”

He seemed to smell something, and when he looked at the old man, there was something else in his eyes, as if he was questioning. When everyone left, only Wang Ling and Ji Lao remained, the former still did not put down his posture, and the latter asked:

"Your Majesty taught you to respect your predecessors so much?"

Wang Ling was already dissatisfied with Ji Lao in his heart, and every time the latter looked at him, there was a contempt hidden in his eyes, as if he looked down on him. As soon as he said this at this time, Wang Ling immediately raised his eyes, and his ** taste was even stronger.

When looking at each other, Wang Ling is not afraid of the old thistle, and when he reaches that age, even if it doesn't take so many years, he will definitely be able to be above the old thistle. His talent, much stronger than it, opened his mouth and said:

"My father only taught me to respect the strong. ”

"What do you mean, you mean that I am not against you? Do you know that when I was practicing in the academy, you were still in your majesty's body and were not raised. ”

"Ji senior, you have no merits or achievements for many years, as a strong man in the curling wheel, you have made Xia Xiao escape from his hands twice, what qualifications do you have to rely on the old and sell the old?"

"Presumptuous!"

Before the old thistle raised his hand, Wang Ling had fallen to the ground violently, smashed the tables and chairs, and sank into the ground, with red blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He coughed twice in embarrassment, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Wang Ling knew that Ji Lao didn't dare to do anything to himself, and his cold words were just a fart in Wang Ling's ears.

"If it weren't for the fact that the old man didn't want to be a dead countryman, if it wasn't for His Majesty personally inviting me out of the mountain, do you think I would be willing to get involved?"

"There is nothing wrong with you joining the war, I should thank you for your help, but you don't know Xia Xiao, you don't understand Xia Xiao, you don't even know Great Xia, you don't understand their alliance. But I know why you ignore me when I say it, and even put on a disdainful look. If you were a person, I wouldn't disobey you, and I would even reflect on myself, but why do you tell others to leave me alone and do what you have to do?"

"Because you only have Xia Xiao in your eyes! I don't know what you have to do with him, but everything you do is centered on him, are you lost in the devil or obsessed? As a prince, you are short-sighted and narrow-minded. The army can listen to your orders, and you still have some brains, but if the cultivators listen to you completely, who will take precautions? Do you think you have taken all the factors into account? What you think of is only one-tenth! The soldiers are not good at talking about you, and they dare not say anything about you, but I dare!"

Ji Lao stood in front of Wang Ling and scolded mercilessly. At first, Wang Ling was fine, and he wanted to fight back, unwilling to lose, but when he mentioned Xia Xiao, Wang Ling was like a big fish that had been pulled out of its scales, and shouted:

"Shut up!"

"Why, what I'm saying isn't the truth? The plan made by the strategists must be different from what you think, should you reflect on yourself and agree with them? Or should you make a big fuss with them as you do now, and modify the original correct plan in your own capacity?"

"I didn't!"

Wang Ling didn't want to admit that he had done so much just for Xia Xiao, he was the prince of the Nanshang Empire, and he should have a patriotic heart! He did this in order to defeat Great Xia, and to make his father and emperor trample the Six Kingdoms under his feet and make him the head of the Seven Kingdoms. But he couldn't say a word of so many words. It seems that knowledge is an excuse, and it is difficult to say.

Ji Lao stared at Wang Ling's eyes, his gaze pierced his disguise, shattered his defenses, and seemed to see the deepest side of his heart that he didn't understand. The strength of the curl wheel and the strength he had accumulated over the years made him understand Wang Ling's heart, but the white eyebrows twisted, and the snow-white beard that dragged to his chest trembled slightly, moving with his shake.

"Boy, there is too much darkness hidden under your glamorous appearance, if you don't release and adjust it in time, not only will you not be able to become a talent, but you are also destined to be inferior to Xia Xiao. ”

Ji Lao bent his knees, knelt on one knee in front of the royal tomb embedded in the ground, and said very solemnly:

"Be careful, don't go into the devil's way, or the academy won't let you go. Also, people live for a lifetime, only for themselves, and it is difficult for others, so let's do it for ourselves!"

Wang Ling gathered enough strength, and just wanted to speak, but he was silent. Old Thistle's words sent chills down his back, as if this kind of thing would come true sooner or later. When he reacted, he didn't know how much time had passed, and Ji Lao didn't know where to go.

The tent was deserted, and the ground was restored to its original state without any breaks. Wang Ling was soaked in cold sweat, and when he sat up, he was full of incredulity, but he didn't know what to do. At this time, Wang Ling should have a confidant and beautiful woman by his side to accompany him, listening to him talk about his heart, but he always proudly felt that worldly people were not worthy of him, and always liked to look up to the sky, but there were too few people in heaven and too far away, and he might never be able to touch it.

"Am I really wrong?"

Wang Ling asked himself, but he never answered, he walked out of the tent, it was a sunny day, but not far away in the ruins of the building, there was the sound of the strategists arguing. They vied with each other to express their opinions, and their battlefield was on paper, on the tongue.

Wang Ling listened, his heart sank, and suddenly he thought of Xia Xiao, what would he do if he encountered something difficult to solve?

In the Great Xia military camp, Xia Xiao, who was wounded, was bandaged and lay on the bed to sleep. After a busy night, he should also sleep well, as for those things that are difficult to solve, he knows that they are not easy to solve, so he is not in a hurry to start, at least he has to wait until he is in good shape!
