Lin Tian turned his head to look at Le Shitong, stared at it for a while, and then said with a smile: "Le Xiang actually asked why, you should know the reason better than me." ”

"How could I possibly know?" Le Shitong frowned, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face.

She wondered, Lin Tian's plan was completely arbitrary, how could she know the reason, besides, she was not familiar with Lin Tian, how could she understand what kind of calculation Lin Tian was making.

Lin Tian pursed his lips and smiled, exhaled deeply, and then said, "If I'm not mistaken, every twenty thousand years...... The Nine Flavors True Fire in the vast Flame Valley in the westernmost border of Xiangxiang Country will be extinguished, right? ”

At the mention of the Vast Flame Valley, Le Shitong's face suddenly turned cold, "That's right, once the flame of the Vast Flame Valley is extinguished, the cultivation is really great. Lu and the Demon Realm are great. Land can come and go freely...... When the time comes, there will be a great battle of immortals and demons that will be staged every 20,000 years, and the Demon Realm will naturally take the lead in attacking the Xiuzhen Realm, and then our Xiangxiang Country will be the first country to suffer......"

"Isn't this it......" Lin Tian said with a smile: "Since Le Xiang knows that at the beginning of the Immortal and Demon War, Xiangxiang Country was the first to suffer, he should find a way out for the people of Xiangxiang Kingdom." ”

As soon as Lin Tian said this, Le Shitong immediately understood, "It turns out that you continued to attack in order to expand your territory, so that the people of Xiangxiang Kingdom can evacuate the battlefield of the Immortal Demon War in the future." ”

"yes." Lin Tian nodded and smiled: "According to the time, one day this year, the Nine Flavors True Fire of the Vast Flame Valley will be extinguished...... If we don't take the initiative to do something, there may be many innocent deaths in this war. ”

The War of Immortals and Demons is not a war between countries, both the scale of the war and the number of people participating in the war are quite large. However, this great battle is a war between immortals and demons. It has nothing to do with ordinary people, so there is no need to involve them. So it's better to find a way to keep them away from the battlefield.

After listening to Lin Tian's words, Le Shitong completely understood Lin Tian's good intentions, and no longer felt that Lin Tian was making trouble unreasonably.

"Okay, for your decision... This aspect has your back. Le Shitong said, "Continue to attack and strive to occupy more territories, so that the people of Xiangxiang Kingdom can stay away from the battlefield of the Immortal and Demon War." ”

"Support? You don't fight side by side with you? Lin Tian asked suspiciously.

"No need, I'm going back to the court." Le Shitong said: "As you said just now, the flames of the Vast Flame Valley will be extinguished this year. I'm going to go back and talk to Her Majesty about what to do. ”

"In that case, I don't have to keep it." Lin Tian nodded and said.

Le Shitong frowned again, "However, how should I explain to Her Majesty the Empress when I go back, the fact that we didn't save Bei Youran?" ”

"Just say it." Lin Tian said with a smile: "Just say that Bei Youran doesn't want to go back, as for the empress Xià doesn't believe it, we can resign ourselves to fate." ”

Lin Tian knew very well that in the eyes and hearts of the Empress of Water Fragrance. Bei Youran's status is irreplaceable, and the Empress of Water Fragrance once said that for Bei Youran, she can use the entire Xiangxiang country to exchange.

Therefore, this time I did not bring Bei Youran back to Xiangxiang Country. Her Majesty must be very angry, and she will lose her head.

"Okay, I'll tell you the truth." Le Shitong nodded slightly and said.

……

In the following three months. Lin Tian led the army directly to the hinterland of the Southern Yan Kingdom, although he encountered fierce resistance. But he still won more than 30 cities in the Southern Yan Kingdom.

As Lin Tian had said before, the Southern Yan Kingdom did not send a large army to counterattack. These more than 30 cities fell into the hands of Xiangxiang Kingdom in vain.

In the past three months, Yan Huaiyu has been preparing for war with the Shenlai Kingdom, completely ignoring Lin Tian's attack in the west, but instead ordering all the troops defending the city to withdraw, deliberately avoiding a head-on confrontation with Lin Tian.

Because he understood that even if Lin Tian now occupied more than thirty cities in the Southern Yan Kingdom, as long as he destroyed several other great powers, a small Xiangxiang Kingdom would not be a problem at all.

And now, his biggest enemy should be the Shenlai Kingdom in the East, defeating them is the most important step on the road to hegemony, and taking the Shenlai Kingdom will make other enemies completely useless.

Finally, when this day came, Nangong Ao walked into the imperial study quickly and said, "The old minister greets His Majesty." ”

"Prime Minister Nangong, what's the matter?" Yan Huaiyu asked.

Nangong proudly hugged his fists and said: "The old minister lived up to the emperor's order, and collected all the grain, grass and soldiers and horses, and recruited a total of 2 million men and horses, including 1 million infantry, 500,000 cavalry, 50,000 archers, and 50,000 grain and grass transportation......."

"Haha......" Yan Huaiyu suddenly laughed, left the dragon chair and walked in front of Nangong Ao, and said: "The prime minister is really hard working, with such a huge army, our victory over the country of God is just around the corner." ”

Nangong Ao was not so optimistic, and reminded using: "But Your Majesty, even if we have two million troops, the Divine Coming Kingdom also has a huge army of two and a half million, even if it is a head-to-head battle, we are at a disadvantage." ”

To be honest, Nangong Ao really doesn't want to fight with the Shenlai Kingdom, first, the national strength and military strength of the Shenlai Kingdom are higher than those of the Nanyan Kingdom, and the other point is that the Shenlai Kingdom has a lot of cultivators, and if the Shenlai Kingdom is suddenly violated, these cultivators will definitely be lined up on the battlefield, and it will be a big threat at that time.

But for these, Yan Huaiyu didn't care at all, and comforted with a smile: "Prime Minister Nangong doesn't have to worry too much, since I dare to start a war with the Divine Country, I have the confidence to win them...... So the day of the expedition was set after ten days. ”

Nangong Ao sighed slightly, hugged his fists and said, "The old minister obeys the order!" ”

"Anything else?" Yan Huaiyu asked again.

"Yes." Nangong Ao immediately took out something from his sleeve and said: "This is the Linglong Tower, which was handed over to the old man by Yang Ke, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, a few months ago, but there are too many affairs on his body... I forgot about it. ”

Yan Huaiyu's eyebrows raised slightly, not to mention Nangong Ao, even he almost forgot, if he hadn't seen Linglong Pagoda today, he would have really forgotten that there was a demon queen in his harem, it had been three months, I don't know what happened to this demon queen, and whether his father had been sucked dry by the demon queen.

However, Yan Huaiyu did not take the Linglong Pagoda, but asked: "Prime Minister, this Linglong Pagoda is originally the treasure of your Nangong family, you should know how to use it to subdue the demon queen, right?" ”

Nangong Ao smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister does know how to use the Linglong Pagoda, but the old minister's cultivation is too low, and there is no problem in subduing the ordinary little demon and little ghost, but it is too difficult to subdue this demon."
