Chapter 178: Dismounting
Five days later, Li Tianzhao arrived outside the southern border of Xuantian Wu King's territory, and left Guancheng to continue south, which was the land of Nanmi.
Li Tianzhao heard King Xiyue Wu say that the land of Nanmi was also a subsidiary of King Xuantian Wu, with fertile land and abundant grain production.
Because of this, it has always been a place of war.
When Li Tianzhao arrived in the land of Nanmi, the treatment he received was obviously different from that of the land of Xiyue.
When he entered the city, the soldiers defending the city asked him to wait, reported to the commander of the thousand battles, confirmed the situation, and let him pass.
During the waiting period, the soldiers guarding the gate of the city also lacked enthusiasm for Li Tianzhao's attitude, and he even felt that some of the soldiers still showed irrepressible hostility.
If it weren't for listening to the Martial King of the West Moon talk about the situation in the Land of the West Moon, Li Tianzhao would definitely be confused at the moment.
After passing through Guancheng, Li Tianzhao drove his horse and continued to the south, and arrived at his destination, Nanjian City, after two days of travel.
Nanjian Castle means that the boundary of the guide plane must be held to the end, which shows the importance of this city to the land of Nanmi.
The land of Nanmi used to belong to the three martial kings, and later under the offensive pressure of the surrounding martial kings, the territory continued to shrink, and Nanjian City was the last danger of the border at that time, if it was broken, the capital would be in danger.
Later, the land of Nanmi became the size it is today, and King Wu decided to unite and work together at a difficult juncture.
After that, they fought for many years, until the territory of the Xuantian Martial King extended and engulfed the territory of the Martial King who was in the middle. The three martial kings of the land of Nanmi knew that they would not be able to hold on to the enemy of the Xuantian Martial King, so they were forced to choose to cling to each other and promised to pay tribute every year, so that they would have no worries in the north from now on, and they could also ask the Xuantian Martial King for support in the face of the difficult moment of foreign invasion.
However, the land of Nanmi pays a lot of tribute every year, accounting for seventy percent of the grain production, and King Xuantian Wu has always wanted to control the grain seeds in the land of Nanmi, so that the land of Nanmi is firmly controlled.
Of course, the three martial kings of the land of Nanmi would not agree, and they have been publicly listing the whereabouts of key materials and grain products, so that the people in the territory know their true situation.
It is conceivable that how can the people of the land of Nanmi treat the people who have seen the Xuantian Martial King?
The Martial King, who has been enemies on three sides for a long time, is the generational enemy of the people in the land of Nanmi, and the Xuantian Martial King in the north is also a bloodsucking worm crawling all over them for them.
Nagondo, the land of Nanmi, for the Xuantian Martial King, even if it is completely occupied, the payment will not be more, of course, there is no point in using force.
The only thing that makes Xuantian Martial King pay attention at all times is not to let the land of Nanmi get up.
Let the land of Nanmi always be under pressure, and there is no strength to overwhelm the enemies on three sides, but it will not let the land of Nanmi be invaded and occupied by enemies on three sides again, and always rely on the protection of King Xuantian Wu to pay tribute on time.
Li Tianzhao complied with the order, and after arriving at Nanjian City, he took out the beads of the memory fragment, shattered the sword, and absorbed the information inside.
‘...... Eliminate the rebel general?' Li Tianzhao doubted in his heart, and there was no way to believe this matter just by relying on the information of the memory fragments.
King Xuantian Wu did not let him come to support the battle, but let him give full play to his strengths and wait for the opportunity to kill Nanwei, the royal general who was in charge of commanding the battle in Nanjian City.
The information in the memory fragment said that this Nanwei was hostile to the Xuantian Land and was ambitious, and had always advocated that the Nanmi Land should cut off contact with the Xuantian Land and stop paying tribute, otherwise there would be no day to turn over, and it would soon be unable to support the growing population. Without more people, there will be no more talent, and there will be no possibility of turning the situation around.
Although Li Tianzhao thinks that this information is generally not wrong, Nanwei's proposition is what everyone in Nanmi wants to do in their dreams.
However, it was clear that the land of Nanmi did not yet have the strength to be an enemy of the Xuantian Martial King.
Therefore, the accusation in the message that Nanwei is a rebel who instigated the relationship between the land of Nanmi and the land of Xuantian and tried to take advantage of the opportunity for personal gain, but it is unlikely to be true.
Li Tianzhao wore a cloak and covered his weapons, and walked around the street, seeing that people were coming and going, and the overall atmosphere was not much different from the border city of King Xuantian Wu.
Compared to the land of the Western Moon, it is obviously much richer.
The equipment of the warriors has basic configurations, although the overall is not as good as that of the Xuantian Land, but it is also very practical, and the manufacturing materials of the weapons are also normal, unlike the Western Moon Land, which saves materials as much as possible.
Although they are in the battlefield, there are also many soldiers who gather and hang out on the streets, not like in the land of the West Moon, only staring at the tension and heaviness of the battle.
Li Tianzhao heard many people talk about the generals of Nanwei, all of whom were about how he commanded the victory of the battle and how he attacked the enemy.
After listening to it more, Li Tianzhao realized that these stories were all from the past.
Because, there has been no large-scale war in Nanjian City for many years, and only small teams and small-scale battles have been left that have organized their own fighting to earn merits.
Li Tianzhao was about to take a closer look and listen, but at dinner, he was suddenly stopped by someone on the street.
"King Nanwei has already prepared wine and food, and it is expected that the envoy from the Xuantian Land will be hungry after shopping for a long time, so he specially ordered us to invite!"
Li Tianzhao was a little surprised, he asked himself if there should be flaws in his appearance, there are many people in Nanjian City, and if he is such a person, it will not be easy to be targeted.
It is impossible to get people to follow me all the way after passing through the city, it seems that he did not eat at the inn, but he used his own food to attract attention! There are so many eyeliners in this city, and the vigilance is also high, it is really not easy. Li Tianzhao followed the two men to the city chief's mansion, and saw a group of thousand generals waiting outside the gate, passed between them, and entered the gate, who was the city chief of this city.
The city chief is also a thousand generals, he led the way for Li Tianzhao and walked inside, and entered the dining room, a group of ten thousand generals were sitting, and only four generals stood up.
According to the information of the memory fragments, Li Tianzhao recognized at a glance that the mighty man who was a head taller than him and had a particularly majestic body was Nanwei.
From the moment they came in, Li Tianzhao felt that their atmosphere was not good.
At this moment, it seems to be grand, but there is not a single empty chair at the dining table.
Where is this here to get him to eat?
This is to tell him to stand by and watch them eat, right?
"The Wan Zhan General is famous, we have all heard of it! But we have our own rules here in Nanjian City, and there are so many positions, if you come late, you can either leave, or rely on your ability to convince people to give up a position. It is said that the Thousand Kills Sword Technique is powerful, and it must not be difficult for Lone Sword to get a seat here. Nanwei's tone was full of provocation, but this was where he was in charge, so he naturally had nothing to fear.
Li Tianzhao smiled, this Ma Wei is really interesting, he obviously wants to see his swordsmanship, in other words, the other party knows that his arrival is not a good thing.
"My sword does not fight, but only life and death. ”
"That's simple, I have to ask Lone Sword how to come, how to go back!" Nanwei's face sank, and a table of ten thousand generals stood up in unison.
The meaning of intimidation is unmistakable.
"This is really embarrassing...... Li Tianzhao said, his eyes swept over the faces of a circle of people, as if he was choosing a target for the competition, and at the same time held the hilt of the sword in his hand, and slowly drew the sword out of its sheath.
Seeing that his gaze fell on the face of a 10,000-strong general, the attention of others naturally focused, thinking that he had chosen the opponent for the duel.
But at this moment, a wind blade flew out, instantly slashing the huge dining table open! The white wind blade immediately dissipated after cutting through the other end of the table.
The plates and dishes of the table all fell to the ground from the middle of the separate tables, some of them clattered, some of them shattered, and soup, vegetables, and porcelain pieces were all over the floor.
A group of ten thousand generals glared angrily, but no one spoke excitedly.
The sword that Li Tianzhao had just pulled out was slowly put into the sheath again, there was no expression on his face, and he said in a flat tone: "My sword is really not suitable for a duel, since there is no food to eat, then send someone to lead the way, I want to rest." ”
Nanwei's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Li Tianzhao for a long time, seeing that he met his gaze, there was no dodge at all, not even a trace of emotional change, and said in a deep voice: "Unfortunately! There are not many rooms here, and the lone sword needs a place to rest, so he still has to rely on his ability!"
"If the dignified Nanjian City Mayor's Mansion doesn't even have a place for the envoy of the Xuantian Martial King to stay, then this City Governor's Mansion should be overthrown and rebuilt!" Li Tianzhao was not afraid of Nanwei's intimidation at all, even if they were hostile, it was impossible for them to dare to kill him.
In the land of Nanmi, dare to make an excuse for the Xuantian Martial King? Even if they don't use troops because of this, they will have to pay a heavy price.
The situation in the city under the rule of Nanwei shows that he is by no means impulsive and reckless.
As for Li Tianzhao, he was not afraid of other people's strong posture and didn't let him eat, so don't eat at all; if he didn't let him have a place to stay, he dared to demolish the city chief's mansion today and don't even live.
If you want to scare him Li Tianzhao back, or let him retreat by himself, and sleep in the open with nowhere to stay, that's a dream!
A group of ten thousand generals had long been very angry, but Nanwei had always been disciplined, and none of them dared to speak up.
I only heard Nanwei say in a deep voice: "So, Lone Sword still wants to demolish the house for us?"
"You can do it for you. Li Tianzhao replied without hesitation.
"Just try. As soon as Nanwei's words fell, he saw that Li Tianzhao didn't say a word, and directly raised his palm and hit the wall beside him.
Although the walls are thick, where can they withstand the power of ten thousand generals.
Suddenly, a wall cracked and flew out, crashing through and shattering the walls of several corridors and houses one after another.
The dust was flying, and the noise made the people in the Mayor's Mansion of Nanjian City come over here in surprise.
But what was even more surprising was Nanwei, and the circle of 10,000 generals in the house.
Li Tianzhao's left palm hung down, his face was still expressionless, staring at Nanwei's eyes and asking, "Does General Wang still need help?"
"How powerful the Thousand Killing Sword of the Lone Sword is, I haven't seen it today, but with this courage, there should be a place to stay, and of course there is food to eat. Someone came - cleaned up the room for Lone Sword, and the food and drinks were delivered into the house. Nanwei gave an order, and someone immediately responded.
Although a group of 10,000 generals were all angry, no one spoke up.
When Li Tianzhao walked over with the people leading the way, the soldiers in the mansion and some women were all looking at him and whispering.
When I returned to the room, sure enough, food and drinks were delivered soon.
Li Tianzhao was eating and drinking, thinking of Nanwei, and already understood why King Xuantian Wu wanted to kill this person.
The ten thousand generals and thousands of generals in Nanjian City, so obedient to Nanwei, there was no sound of chaos in the situation just now.
The appearance of any too powerful character in the land of Nanmi will make the Xuantian Martial King vigilant, and such a thing as Nanwei is obviously a huge hidden danger.
Li Tianzhao had just eaten for a while when there was a knock on the door.
"I was offended a lot just now, and I came to make amends. This voice is clearly Nanwei.
"Apologies?" Li Tianzhao didn't believe that he was sincere in making amends, but Nanwei came over so quickly, and the intention did make him guess, so naturally he didn't have a reason to be afraid of seeing him, so he said, "The king will come in and talk." ”
