King Minghong waved his hand to let Li Fugui sit down, and a faint look of pain appeared on his face:

"I didn't expect this battle to be like this, as the head coach, this king should be fully responsible. ”

The fourth prince answered: "Uncle Huang, this march into the East Island was unanimously approved by all departments of the Samocheng Military Council, and there is no problem with our military strategy, but the Shu family is too deep in planning, and the two thieves of the Iron King Temple were invited to help ......."

King Minghong raised his hand and interrupted, "There is no need to say it. It is useless to say that the victory and defeat have been divided, and the king will confess to the great monarch when he returns to the imperial capital in the future, and now is the time to set the military strategy as soon as possible.

Rank, please also express your opinions. ”

The fourth prince wanted to speak, but saw that King Minghong had a wise look in his eyes and closed his mouth. King Minghong changed his smiling expression and looked at Tianhe Tianzun on his left:

"Tianzun is a great talent, and he is currently the top powerhouse in the army, and he is still willing to give advice. ”

Tianhe Tianzun said politely: "Your Highness is serious, we are a family, why bother to say kind words."

Looking at it below, let's discuss whether to go or stay, and then make other considerations after setting the general direction. ”

King Minghong nodded: "This is what this king also means, I don't know what Tianzun suggests?"

Tianhe Tianzun hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "In the current situation, it is naturally not good to say that it is good, but it is not bad to the point of being out of control.

Although our army suffered heavy casualties, the rebels were no better.

The territory of thousands of miles and tens of millions of people in the West Island are in our hands, and the rebels have lost almost all of their territory, leaving only more than 10,000 diehards to guard the depths of the East Island.

To put it mildly, both the enemy and the enemy are a bit difficult to ride a tiger at this time. ”

King Minghong sighed deeply and said sadly: "If it weren't for the fact that a little brother Hua Duxiu personally took the risk of dragging the thief chief and prevented the Shu army from killing him, I am afraid that this king would have followed in the footsteps of Brother Xuanhuang......"

Everyone looked gloomy, especially the four princes, who were sad from their hearts, and the corners of their eyes were moist.

King Minghong said: "Brother Hua has bought us these few days, which is tantamount to forcibly breaking the situation back to a comparable level.

What Tianzun means is that we grit our teeth and stick to this place, waiting for the rear support to be in place, and then we will try to counterattack?"

Tianhe Tianzun cursed secretly in his heart, where did you hear that I meant this?

"Ahem, Your Highness is wise. Whether it is to withdraw or stay, it is a risk, it is a gamble. And whether we can win the bet or not, the key lies in His Highness. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, all agreeing with Tianhe's words.

Although Tianhe Tianzun is a god-king level powerhouse, he has not been promoted for a long time, and his strength has not been fully demonstrated, so it is really difficult to say whether he can defeat Shu Da Wall.

If King Minghong can recover as soon as possible, the expeditionary force is still equivalent to having two god kings in charge, and no matter how rampant the rebels are, they will not dare to test the edge of the empire.

It's like it's been shrinking for months.

But if King Minghong is unable to parry the Shu Wall, the two Iron King Temple Dharma Kings invited by the rebels are not vegetarians, and the Five Elements Technique is extremely suppressed by demonic energy, it is difficult to say whether Tianhe alone can withstand the alliance of Beiguo Qiu and Beiguo Yuan, and the situation of the expeditionary force will be very dangerous.

King Minghong was silent for a long time, and it was difficult to speak for a while.

I said before that I was fine, but it was to cheer everyone up, and there was moisture.

But at this moment, he must tell the truth and analyze objectively, and he must not talk nonsense.

If you are wrong, the consequence may be that the remnants of the expeditionary force will be completely wiped out here, just like the first expedition a few years ago.

Grandma's, I wanted Tianhe to say, but Tianhe kicked the ball back.

Everyone stared at King Minghong, who coughed lightly and said:

"What's going on with the rebels right now?"

Everyone looked at each other, and finally looked at a young general who had been attending the meeting but had rarely spoken before.

This man has an ordinary appearance, belonging to the type that cannot be found when thrown into the crowd, but if you look closely at his eyes, there is a special look.

Although this person is only in his early thirties, his strength is extraordinary, and his background is not small.

His name is Fang Chang, and he is the brown-clothed commander of the Dijing Embroidery Division, who is responsible for the collection and aggregation of various information related to the expeditionary force.

King Minghong said politely: "Commander Fang, I don't know what the state of the rebel leader is now?"

Fang Chang stood up and greeted everyone present, and said in a soft voice: "Back to the prince, according to the reply from the brothers in front, all the important people of the Shu family have retreated to the valley behind Panya Mountain, although many rebel warriors have followed us here, but they are limited to keeping an eye on our base camp, and there is no sign of a large number of rebels coming out of the mountain. ”

"I see. ”

King Minghong nodded to Fang Chang, who sat down slowly and methodically, returning to the state of "being in the dark" again.

It's just that the people who can sit here to participate in the military discussion are all giants, like Fang Chang is so young, there is no third one besides him and the four princes.

Tianhe Tianzun glanced at Fang Chang deeply, with a slightly suspicious look in his eyes.

King Minghong continued: "Whether to leave or stay cannot only look at our situation, the situation of the rebels must also be investigated.

It will take some time for this king to fully recover, so it is better to send elite captains to Panya Mountain in the next few days. ”

Everyone looked at Fang Chang again, and Fang Chang had no choice but to get up and say, "Yes, let's arrange for a competent person to set off." ”

King Minghong nodded: "The situation in the West Island is under control, but now the drought is getting worse and worse, and tens of thousands of people are becoming victims every day, and it will definitely cause a catastrophe in time."

Regardless of whether we leave or stay in the future, the soldiers who stay in the West Island must also make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

The generals talked and discussed, and the four princes were in the mood to participate in one or two at first, but in the end, they simply sat there and just listened, too lazy to say a word.

His head was full of the shadow of a person, who was an imperial warrior but didn't do anything right all day, seemingly out of tune, but always tried to turn the tide and do amazing things.

If he hadn't sacrificed himself in the tiger's den, at least half of the people present would not have been able to return to the base camp alive.

It's a pity that except for a few words from King Minghong at the beginning, no one mentioned him later.

That's right, this person who haunts the soul of the four princes is Hua Duxiu.

"Alas, Hua Qing, I don't know where you are now, dead or alive. If Uncle Huang finally makes the decision to retreat, and you fail to return, won't I be unjust to you?

How can I forsake you and walk away?"

The military council held for more than an hour, and finally decided on a few inconsequential adjustment resolutions. Whether the army will leave or stay, and whether the soldiers stationed on the West Island will withdraw or defend, are all inconclusive.

After the meeting, Tianhe Tianzun returned to his big tent.

Inside the tent, Venerable Lingxi had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as Tianhe Tianzun saw Lingxi, he immediately noticed that his aura was different: "Lingxi, you are ......"

Venerable Lingxi smiled bitterly and said, "Sect Master, the old decay is not in the way, and the injury is almost healed." ”

"Don't speak. ”

Tianhe put two fingers on Lingxi's wrists, took a deep look at his hands, couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and slowly shook his head.

"This trip, you suffered. ”

"Don't say that, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, how can you easily get that thing without paying a price?"

Tianhe's heart jumped, and he immediately laid down a few isolation formations with Wuji True Qi, and said in a low voice:

"Got it?"

Lingxi first smiled and nodded, took out a special square box from his arms and handed it to Tianhe, then his face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said:

"Originally, this operation could have ended a long time ago, but I met Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi halfway......"

Tianhe wrapped the square box with Wuji True Qi and opened it carefully, revealing an egg-sized polished bead emitting a strange white mist.

Tianhe only slightly detected and buckled the square box, and the special pure treasure was immediately shielded in the square box.

"You met Hua Duxiu, and Ding Qiqi, didn't Ding Qiqi die a long time ago?"

Lingxi said angrily: "This dead girl is not dead. Not only did she not die, but she also absorbed all the vitality of the Changchun dog thief, and she had already entered the third realm......"

Lingxi simply told how he met Hua Duxiu along the way, how Yingyue and Ziyue died tragically, how he returned to Tianhaihaiyue, and how he met Ding Qiqi. The more Tianhe Tianzun listened, the more ugly his face became, and in the end, he couldn't help but snort heavily, and Lingxi was shocked by his breath and took two steps back.

Tianhe glanced at Lingxi apologetically: "I didn't think about this matter, otherwise the three of Shui Yue would not have died tragically." ”

Lingxi shook his head and said, "Where is the door master, it is not good for the old man to do things." ”

Tianhe waved his hand and said: "Now the situation is very delicate, it is said that Hua Duxiu captured Shu Demon with his own strength and threatened Shu Daqiang not to send troops, which bought time for King Minghong and others to retreat."

With Shu Daqiang's ruthless methods, Hua Duxiu is afraid that he will die in his hands this time. According to your description, Ding Qiqi should also fall into the hands of Shu's family, and if we want to get rid of her, we won't have a good chance for a while. ”

Lingxi was slightly surprised: "How is it possible for Hua Duxiu to capture Shu Demon, even if he is old, he doesn't dare to say that he can defeat Shu Demon, let alone capture him?"

Tianhe shook his head slowly: "Things just happened, and if you don't believe it, you have to believe it."

Hmph, I was originally going to persuade King Minghong to retreat in the military council today, but after being delayed by Hua Duxiu, I am afraid that this war will not be finished for a while and a half. ”

Lingxi lowered his voice and said, "I heard that King Minghong has been seriously injured, and the sect master may heal him?"

Tianhe snorted lightly and said, "How can Shu's demon method be cured so easily?" King Minghong's divine consciousness has been severely damaged, even if it is me, it is impossible to cure it in ten days and a half months.

But since he doesn't want to go, I can't easily cure him, lest this war really go on endlessly. ”

Lingxi's eyes jumped, and he said softly: "......What does the door master mean?"

"The battle has been fought so far, the Five Elements Heaven and Earth Mansion Army has almost been wiped out, except for the 'water system' magicians, the rest of the thousands of magician legions have also lost most of them, especially the masters of the third realm, except for you and Tarim, the rest have all died in the hands of Shu Da Wall. ”

Lingxi perked up and said happily: "It's a good thing!"

Tianhe nodded, and waved his hand again: "This matter is very delicate, and it is inconvenient to discuss it."

I'm going to go to King Minghong to treat his injuries in a while, and since he wants to stay, let's wait for the rebels to come and let the empire die more.

Our men continue to be sent to the sea to fight pirates, and the remaining magicians should be voted for, and some more will die for the upper echelons of the empire. ”

Lingxi nodded heavily: "The door master is high!"

Tianhe smiled slightly, and suddenly sank his face again: "Then you will stay in the base camp and don't go out again in the name of recuperating from your injuries." ”

"Yes, thank you for your concern. ”

"You're staying to help me investigate someone. ”

Lingxi suddenly became interested: "Oh, who is the door going to check?"

Tianhe's eyes moved, and he said: "At the military council, there is a leader of the embroidery department who never speaks, and today King Minghong and the four princes questioned this person, and they were all very polite, I am afraid that this person's background is not simple." ”

Lingxi was stunned: "Isn't it Li Fugui, the leader of the Embroidery Division?"

"It's not him, it's a young man named 'Fang Chang', about thirty years old, from the imperial capital. ”

Lingxi hesitated: "I've heard of this person's name, but I haven't heard anything of his background. However, it must be a lot of money to be treated politely by a god king and a prince. ”

"Yes, that's what I think so. If this person really has a big background, he can arrange for someone to negotiate terms with 'over there', and sell him, maybe for a good price. ”

Lingxi smiled treacherously and said, "King Minghong is too strong, Jun Ruoxi hides too strictly, if there is a person of the same status as the two of them, the price will definitely be the same." ”

Tianhe nodded: "Captain Fang, as the commander of the Brown Clothes Division, is in charge of the intelligence of the secret agents, you must be more careful when investigating him." ”

"The old man knows, the master of the door and rest assured. ”

Tianhe glanced at Lingxi's palms with some heartache, exhaled lightly, held Lingxi's shoulders and said in a deep voice:

"Dude, you've been suffering from this pain many times at your age, it's really ...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Lingxi's heart was hot, and he said with a tight mouth: "Where does the door master say, whether the Bairimen can rise or not, our generation is the key."

This sacrifice is really nothing!"
