At the same time, fifty miles north of Xiao Pass, Li Mi was standing on a high cliff with a war horse, looking blankly at the south direction.

At this time, his mood is like an overturned five-flavor bottle, there is remorse, unwillingness, unbelief, resentment, palpitation, helplessness, sadness, and disbelief, which can be described as a mixture of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty, so complex that it is difficult to describe.

"Brother Fa Master, are you regretting this?"

Xu Shiji and Li Mi rode side by side, looking at Li Mi beside him with an inquiring gaze: "I feel that the Dharma Master Brother is in a very bad mood now." ”

He looked at Li Mi's face, how could it not be described as good? It would not be an exaggeration to say that there were no masters of the six gods.

Xu Shiji had never seen such an expression on Li Mi's face, and in his impression, this was a peerless wise man, and he had always held the pearl of wisdom.

Li Mi didn't listen to it, and it wasn't until a long time later that he sighed slightly: "How can you not be annoyed and regretful? But after thinking about it, I was relieved, this time I have done everything, and I can't do anything about that guy, so what can I do?"

But in his heart, he was still dripping blood-the two consecutive 'Divine Fixing Machines', as well as the 'Divine Thunder Heavenly Punishment' that he had consumed a large number of top-level spiritual materials and strange things, and he was helpless to take Li Shimin, which made him uncomfortable, annoyed, and heartbroken to the extreme.

In this battle, they invested at least six million yuan, and also lost dozens of powerful archers and magicians, plus a Wang Xifeng. But their goal was almost unscathed. How can this not make people feel helpless and aggrieved?

and the 'Imperial Star Divine Seal' that was finally captured by Li Shimin, which made Li Mi's flesh hurt, it was the key instrument for him to perform the Star Spirit Secret Technique, and it also had a certain amplification effect on other spells. Without it, his combat power dropped by at least one layer.

The key is that Li Shimin's magic cultivation is obviously biased towards the secret method of the star spirit, and he visualizes the superior star god as his protector deity. And the three swords of the sun, moon and stars in the hands of his people and the magic robe of the mixed yuan star. Xiao Zhou Tian Divine Shield and so on, and the 'Imperial Star Divine Seal' is a complete set of magic weapons.

Once Li Shimin obtains this thing, it will be like a tiger with wings, and he doesn't know how much his strength in magic will grow.

But now, no matter how much he regretted it, it didn't help.

Li Mi sighed secretly, and reflected calmly: "The defeat in this battle is due to insufficient intelligence, and I still underestimate him, and the other is that the time and place are wrong, so I shouldn't choose to make a move in Xiaoguan." Fortunately, it is not without gains, this time thanks to Mao Gong, otherwise we would have achieved nothing in today's battle of Xiaoguan. ”

In the end, Xiao Guancheng's drastic changes were Xu Shiji's handiwork. This one did not live up to his trust, not only destroyed all the leylines in Xiao Pass in a very short period of time, but also successfully blew up the arsenal granary in the pass. It also prevents the situation they will face next from deteriorating to the point of being unsustainable.

"It's just a matter of duty!"

Xu Shiji smiled bitterly: "It's a pity that I can't help too much." ”

He was just a fourth-grade magician, and the situation at that time was indeed powerless.

"Why do you need to be so humble, your attainments in the formation have already helped us a lot; if it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to win the city defense formation in Xiaoguan before. ”

After Li Mi finished saying this, he turned his eyes to Qi Liangchen, "This battle has failed, but fortunately, Xiao Guan has been destroyed." Later, we will go to Haiyuan and join Bai Yushao's army. I don't know what Grandpa Qi will do next?"

He was actually testing to see what kind of attitude this person had.

After all, this time, the biggest loss is the Demon Dragon Babu. This time, Xiao Guan's strategy, whether it is manpower or materials used, is mainly provided by the Eight Divisions of the Demon Dragon. But as a result, they suffered heavy losses, but they failed to achieve their goal.

So Li Mi is not sure, will this person continue to follow up?

At this time, Qi Liangchen's eyes were red, and his eyes were about to split: "That shaft at least has a third-grade sorcerer cultivation! ”

He grinded his teeth, and his voice seemed to come from the Nine Hells: "I guess the shadowless arrow in Luoyang City that day must be Li Shimin!"

"Probably?"

Li Mi's expression was calm: "But when the Shadowless Arrow was plundering Chang'an, Li Shimin stayed in Tongguan City all the time, which has cleared him of suspicion." I think he should have nothing to fear today. ”

He actually has this suspicion, after all, what can't be done under common sense may not be impossible to change to magic. Li Shimin's several alibi evidence in Luoyang is actually not very reliable.

But the problem is that it is difficult for them to use these speculations to testify against Li Shimin.

The previous eunuch Gao Shicheng was not without a shadowless arrow, and he had attacked in front of the Son of Heaven, but his effect was limited.

Today's Li Shimin is deeply relied on by the Son of Heaven and regards him as the minister of the humerus. If there is not enough real evidence, how can the Son of Heaven cut off his arm?

Li Mi even suspected that even if he found evidence, the Son of Heaven would probably press the matter, but he didn't know.

After all, the eight demon dragons, as well as the rebel party who assassinated the emperor, still need to rely on Li Shimin to track down. And the Son of Heaven's dislike of the King of Qi is even more well known.

It is difficult for others to judge what choice the Son of Heaven will make between a rebel who wants to kill his relatives and usurp the throne and an obedient and capable lackey.

But if Li Mi were himself, he would definitely choose to tolerate the latter temporarily.

Li Shimin's actions undermined the law of the imperial court. But what should be done is still beneficial to the Son of Heaven and the court after all, and at least on the surface, it has nothing to do with others.

Therefore, the smart approach is to wait for the birds to hide and the rabbits to die and the dogs to cook. When the rebels and the party are gone, it is not too late to solve Li Shimin, a person who violates the law and discipline.

But they Chu State Mansion obviously can't wait for the time when the birds are all hidden and the rabbits are dead and the dogs are cooking.

And the cronies and important ministers around the Son of Heaven, such as Yu Wenshu, Yu Shiji and others, which one is not greedy and lawless in private?

All in all, even when the eunuch Gao Shicheng was there, they had no way to take Li Shimin, and now they can't think about it.

When thinking of Gao Shicheng, Li Mi's mood was even worse.

After a few days, everything that happened in front of the emperor that day, the Duke of Chu has found out the details.

The situation was much worse than he expected, Gao Shicheng made a self-made attack, but the end fell into Li Shimin's calculations. not only made himself fall into prison, but also once again inspired the Son of Heaven to be jealous of the Duke of Chu.

Yang Guang recruited Yang Xuanzong and others to enlist, presumably because of this.

"I know, I know—"

Qi Liangchen took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his breath. He was in pain, and he was on top of Li Mi.

In order to win this son, he, the new dragon minister, used so many resources of the Demon Dragon Babu, and even did not hesitate to affect the organization's follow-up plans, but in the end, was this the result?

Fortunately, the 'Heavenly King of Holding the Country' in the organization participated in the whole process and watched the whole battle, otherwise, he didn't know how to face the Emperor Shakti after he went back, and how to fill the Haikou that he boasted of.

In Xiao Guan's battle, he has indeed done his best.

After calming down, Qi Liangchen said thoughtfully: "Your Excellency, is this going to compete with Li Shimin on the battlefield? But now that Wang Xifeng is dead, Bai Yusa may not still believe you and me." And Li Shimin himself is indeed talented in the art of war. More than half a year ago, near the White Horse Temple, as well as the Xingyang Imperial Garden a year ago, its use of soldiers was remarkable. At the beginning of last year, this person entered Beijing from Luliang Mountain, and even used 300 armor soldiers to break through ten times the enemy. "

I won't talk about anything else, just the White Horse Temple. The one next to him had fought directly with Li Shimin.

But what was the result? Wasn't Li Shimin turning the tide and the savior in danger turning the situation around?

Li Mi heard Qi Liangchen's question, but said in a condensed voice: "He and I are both from the Eight Pillars Country, and we are both disciples of Jiangmen. I have also learned the art of war that he has learned, and the time of immersion is even higher than that of him. What Li regrets is that he is not the one who commands the army. Otherwise, with the same soldiers and horses, under the same conditions, Li is confident that he will not lose to him. As for Bai Yushao, Father-in-law Qi doesn't have to worry. Although Wang Xifeng died, you and I still ruined Xiao Guan after all. And he's short of manpower now, so maybe he'll be able to rush out with the help that came to his door?"

Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly again: "What's more, the current situation, how can you and I be allowed to stand by and watch? If you don't help Bai Yushao and let this person lose in the hands of Li Shimin, I am afraid that the next days of you and I will not be very easy." If I'm not mistaken, most of your Demon Dragon Babu's money, food, and various materials in Luoyang are already tight? Do you want to let this son return to Luoyang and continue to stare at your Demon Dragon Babu?"

Qi Liangchen's expression was silent, as if he was hesitating.

Li Mi then pointed forward with a horsewhip: "Li Shimin's son has become a climate, unless there is a special opportunity, or two or three super products join forces, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to attack and kill this person again." Now I can't think of any other way to defeat him than to defeat him head-on on the battlefield and make him lose his favor. Father-in-law, you-"

As soon as he said this, a horse galloped in the distance, and Li Mi looked carefully, and found that it was the Emperor from the Turkic royal court.

This person soon came to them, and said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, there is good news, Bai Yusa has won the Longxi pastoral supervisor, and has 34,000 horses and nearly 14,000 ink armors, and tens of thousands of surrounding herdsmen have responded. In addition, the big horse thieves on the grassland, the fire and the sand, are also ready to respond to General Bai, and now they have traveled day and night, going south to calm down. ”

Qi Liangchen suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was a little more confident.

The so-called big horse thief fire mad sand, he knows, is a group of people secretly supported by the Turks, specially for the Turkic royal court to do some dirty things that are inconvenient to come forward.

But because of this, the strength of this horse thief is extremely strong, with 10,000 elite horsemen, and its combat power is even higher than that of many border armies.

Li Mi was helpless at the moment, "Actually, there is nothing to regret." ”
