The Black Mountain Army, rumored to be an army formed by robbers and bandits in recent years.

I once read in a royal book about the head of the Montenegrin Army.

The leader of the Black Mountain Army, Shenlong, has never revealed his true face, and even the people inside them do not know the identity of this person, so the identity of this person has been a mystery until now.

The Montenegrin army recruited nothing more than robbers, bandits, and a large number of slaves.

It's just such a scattered army, and in just a few years, it has reached hundreds of thousands, and Ning Zhiyuan is right.

More than 100,000, Ye Lin looked at Ning Zhiyuan with some surprise.

Yes, the 100,000 people, the core figure among them is the leader of the Black Mountain Army, if there is no such person, I am afraid that the 100,000 rabble will be gathered, and a strange light flashed in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes.

Being able to gather these 100,000 people together and form them into a powerful army shows the strong cohesion of the leaders of the Montenegrin Army.

Is it true that no one knows who the leader of the Black Mountain Army is? Ye Lin couldn't help but ask.

No, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh.

Capture the thief and capture the king first, if you capture the leader of the Montenegrin army, the Montenegrin army can be self-defeating, Ning Zhiyuan said lightly.

Since no one knew who the leader of the Black Mountain Army was, why did the second prince tell me this, Ye Lin wondered.

It's nothing, Brother Ye doesn't need to think about it, Ning Zhiyuan's face has a trace of helplessness.

I just feel a lot of emotion.

If you are lucky enough to be able to meet with this leader and talk about it from the bottom of your heart, you can naturally avoid some unnecessary battles, Ning Zhiyuan was quite moved.

Ye Lin nodded, he naturally understood Ning Zhiyuan's good intentions.

For the war, what makes people feel helpless is that Ye Lin is always a participant and cannot choose the trend of the war.

From the moment he comprehended the murderous aura of substance, he was already a little tired of war.

It's brutal, it's bloody, and the final result is a massive reduction in population.

But what he doesn't understand is why these people in power are waging brutal wars for their own selfishness.

In the big picture, even if you win, the internal friction in the Sin Capital is extremely high, and the number of monks in the Sin Capital has been greatly reduced.

From the perspective of the entire three continents and four islands, once the sin capital falls into a state of political instability, it is very likely to cause turmoil in the three continents and four islands, Ye Lin thought of this, and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

Perhaps, these people are not as long-term as he thinks.

Ye Lin sighed and drank the wine in the bowl.

Brother Ye, I mean, if one day, I rebelled, what would you do?

Ye Lin glanced at Ning Zhiyuan strangely, he never thought that Ning Zhiyuan would say such a thing, in his eyes, Ning Zhiyuan has always been a kind-hearted person, the reason why Ye Lin followed Ning Zhiyuan was more because the two were like-minded.

Brother Ye ...... Brother Ye, looking at Ye Lin who was deep in thought, Ning Zhiyuan couldn't help but speak.

Ye Lin came back to his senses and said lightly: "The second prince's words today are a little abnormal. ”

Looking at Ye Lin's expression, Ning Zhiyuan remained silent and said, "I'm just asking casually." ”

However, if the second prince is a slave who cares about the world and has the capital of sin in his heart, and continues to do it as always, I will definitely support you.

Because we are not only like-minded friends, but also brothers, Ye Lin said sonorously.

After listening to Ye Lin's words, Ning Zhiyuan, who was originally a little disappointed, laughed with a smile on his face, and laughed: "Brother Ye's words, I wrote them down." ”

Come, drink!!

The two of them drank a few more large bowls of wine.

There are thousands of cups of wine for confidants, and this time, the two of them drank extremely happily, and they had the intention of getting drunk and resting.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next day, the underworld people followed the generals to practice in the playground, while Ji Yuanqiu discussed the war with the second prince Ning Zhiyuan.

Ye Lin returned to the tent and carefully flipped through the books in his hand, which he had bought from some stalls.

What is recorded in these books is not supernatural powers or cultivation decisions, but only books on meditation and rhythm.

The book introduces how to live ordinary things with an ordinary heart, cultivate oneself with the Tao, and cultivate the Tao with benevolence.

Since traveling through the mountains and rivers, Ye Lin's state of mind has gradually returned to calm.

From his body, you can feel less irritable and more calm.

In other words, he has washed the lead on his body, quit impetuousness and restlessness, and when he encounters people, he shows a normal heart.

His cultivation has not increased much in the past few years, but his thoughts can stretch for thousands of miles.

Behind this rapid improvement, Ye Lin has a heart of lofty ideals.

He is indifferent to fame and fortune, and does not worry about worldly things.

If you compare the previous Ye Lin with the current him, no one will think how impulsive and murderous the Ye Lin in front of him was in the past.

But under this kind of run-in of time, he gradually changed his temperament, changed his style, and even his personality has changed.

The only thing that remains unchanged may be a trace of his heart.

That shadow, with the passage of time, has not changed.

Ye Lin hid this feeling in his heart and never confided in outsiders.

Even if he saw Miss Yuqin now, he would not be as embarrassed as before.

In other words, what he saw was not Yuqin but Dongfang Ningxue.

Although time is changing, although people are also changing, Ye Lin's feelings for Dongfang Ningxue have not been shaken and changed in the slightest because of these.

In the past, he was obsessed with wine, and his Dao heart was this turbid wine.

But now, he is still obsessed with wine, but his Taoist heart is not wine, but Oriental snow.

Looking at the lines of small words on the books, Ye Lin had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, self-cultivation, this is what he must do every day.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lin had been in Sanguan for a whole year, and for more than a year, there was no major war.

The two sides had contacts with each other, and each other won and lost, but they were all small fights, and major battles did not happen.

Ye Lin's military tent~

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps came out, Brother Ye, how can you still have the leisure to study here, Ji Yuanqiu's voice was a little hurried.

What's wrong!!!

Ye Lin looked at Ji Yuanqiu suspiciously.

The second prince asked me to come over and pass on you, saying that I had an urgent matter to discuss with you.

Ye Lin nodded subconsciously, and immediately followed behind Ji Yuanqiu.

In the military tent, Ning Zhiyuan took out the edict in his hand, Brother Ye, take a look!

Ye Lin took the edict and looked at the words on the edict, the more he looked at his face, the more embarrassed he became, and the last piece of iron was blue.

If the news is true, I advise the second prince not to go back.

If I don't go back, I will resist the order, and I am afraid that these frontier generals will be affected.

After several years of getting along, the two princes have won the hearts of the frontier soldiers, and now if they return to the city, they are afraid that they will be suspicious of the emperor and even framed, Ji Yuanqiu said lightly.

I'm afraid that the situation is far beyond our imagination.

If the Montenegrin army knew that the second prince was leaving, they would definitely find an opportunity to capture the three levels.

As...... Ji Yuanqiu looked at Ning Zhiyuan and glanced at Ye Lin again.

Ning Zhiyuan didn't nod, but looked at Ye Lin and said, "What does Mr. think." ”

No, this move is too dangerous, if we lead the army to attack the imperial city, we will ignore the rear, and it is very likely to be violently attacked by the Montenegrin army.

In addition, if the emperor is forced to hurry, I am afraid that he will fight to the death, and it is very likely that he will unite with the traitor Chen Zhao, once these two join forces, we will never have any chance.

In addition to these, we are trapped in the three passes, and we are hostile to the three forces, and sooner or later we will be annexed, because the geographical location of the three passes is too important, and either side wants to replace it, Ye Lin explained slowly.

Ning Zhiyuan sighed and said, "As Mr. said, I also think it's too early to discuss this matter at this time. ”

A glimmer of light flashed in Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, at this time, we still need to be forbearing, taoguang and obscure, and wait for the times to change.

Secondly, as far as the ministers and brothers are concerned, I must abide by the words of the imperial brother.

In the court, I am a minister and he is a king, and in the court, I am a brother and he is a brother, if it is not a critical moment, I am really unwilling to take this step.

Second prince, you are kind-hearted, but the emperor may not think so, you also have some prestige in the army now, and he naturally wants to get rid of you as soon as possible.

If something happens to you, what about the tens of thousands of soldiers here, Ji Yuanqiu said worriedly.

This matter is by no means without a turnaround, if the second prince pays the talisman, and then finds a way to dispel the emperor's doubts, he will naturally be able to protect himself, Ye Lin proposed.

I still don't think it's appropriate, Ji Yuanqiu shook his head.

I have already made a decision on this matter, so don't talk about it, Ning Zhiyuan said lightly.

In this way, Brother Ye will follow me back to the imperial city, pay the military talismans, and let the imperial brother relieve me of my military power.

Hearing that Ning Zhiyuan had already made a decision, the two did not speak, and nodded one after another.

This side will be handed over to Yuanqiu, Ning Zhiyuan patted Ji Yuanqiu on the shoulder.

Second prince, don't worry, I will definitely wait here for you to come back.

Ning Zhiyuan smiled heartily, so I was relieved.

Sir, let's go!

Ye Lin nodded, took the underworld people, and the group did not bring any soldiers and horses, and the three of them rode to the imperial city alone.

In the imperial city, Chen Heng sat high on the dragon chair, and his eyes fell on the middle-aged man in front of him.

Ning Zhiyuan returned to the imperial city, how many people did he bring? Chen Heng said coldly.

There were three people in total, and their subordinates had been reconnoitred hundreds of miles away, and there was no trace of any military horses.

He was so bold that he dared to break into the imperial city without a military horse, and the old man standing next to Chen Heng said coldly.

I said a long time ago that you must not underestimate my second brother.

You say that he has no experience in commanding soldiers, but in just one year, he has been supported by soldiers in the deep border passes, and if he is allowed to stand on a firm foundation, he is afraid of endless troubles.

Now that I have reached a temporary reconciliation with the traitor Chen Zhao, it is time to free up my hands to clean him up.

Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the second prince, the old man on the side couldn't help asking.

Chen Heng's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent, but he did not answer the old man's words.

After playing with the white jade wrench in his hand for a while, Chen Heng's eyes froze, and Chen Heng continued to ask: "Regarding the matter of the leader of the Black Mountain Army, how did you investigate?" ”
