Outside the Origin Spirit Land, a courtier stood here, bowing his head and not daring to move.

However, a cyan light bloomed on the pool surrounded by a white jade stone dragon, and the spatial light distorted for a moment, and the sharpness and murderous aura of the war demon armor escaped from the space - Bai Qi returned.

As soon as Bai Qi's hand-held sickle blade escaped from the space, he stepped out of the spring pool without hesitation, and looked at the Xianyang Palace standing in the middle of heaven and earth through the eyepiece of the battle armor. The courtier, who had been standing by the spring pond for a long time, immediately followed Bai Qi, leaned over and shouted, "Meet Marshal Bai Qi." ”

During the extraordinary period, Ying Zheng no longer insisted on the trivial details of his personality that he hated mortals, and transferred more courtiers back to the palace. "Has Bian Que been back?" Bai Qi asked in a deep voice as soon as he opened his mouth, but his footsteps did not hesitate, and he still strode towards the main palace.

"Report to Marshal, Imperial Physician Bian Que just came back two hours ago, and is now discussing important matters with His Majesty in the palace cabinet." In order to keep up with Bai Qi's pace, the courtier could only pull his little short legs and trot all the way after Bai got up.

"Hmm...... Are Arthur and Zhong Wuyan also there? Bai Qi continued to ask without looking back. Reporting to the marshal, the two generals Arthur and Zhong Wuyan were sent by His Majesty to guard the outer area of the palace. The courtier said. Hmm......" Bai Qi whispered to himself, did not ask again, but stepped up his pace, and walked to the front of the cabinet behind the main palace, Bai Qi stepped in without any report, and the courtiers stopped and no longer followed. The cabinet was empty.

Facing the empty room, Bai Qi was not surprised at all, but walked to the middle of the cabinet unhurriedly, leaned over slightly, stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the ground - the carpet with the dragon pattern was automatically lifted, and the ground silently transformed into a deep and long well in an instant, and a spiral ladder was set up on the side of the hole.

Bai Qi's four eyes, hidden in his battle helmet, glanced into the deep dark well, and instead of going to the spiral ladder, he jumped directly down. - "So now, as you can see, the situation is very unoptimistic. Ying Zheng lowered his eyebrows, looked at the ghostly Bian Que standing opposite him, and then looked at the huge sand table sixteen feet long in front of him.

On the sand table, there is a map of the inner country made of sand, which omits many city boundaries, and only highlights the important locations such as the border city, the mausoleum city, the Xianyang city, and the Afang Palace—the so-called battlefield focus.

"Xiang Yu and Liu Bang have occupied Lingcheng, the most important war stronghold in the country, and they can attack Xianyang when they enter, and they can retreat from the border cities urgently, and they can support some cities that are still alive such as Merlin City, and they can even form a distant horn with the border cities and Merlin City to compete with us."

"Now if Xiang Yu dispatches the main army to march into Xianyang, he can reach the imperial city in less than thirty days, and if he only sends the Hundred Beast Legion to attack and attack, it will only take fifteen days to kill-but according to the latest battle report, after Xiang Yu occupied Lingcheng, there was no action, and there have been traces of the flow of troops between the border city and Lingcheng - it seems that Xiang Yu is choosing a steady strategy, step by step to move the border city troops to Lingcheng, enrich the garrison of Lingcheng, and then take offensive means——"

"He wants to seize the war stronghold of Lingcheng and fight us to the end!" Ying Zheng looked at the conspicuous heart city Chiling City on the sand table and said in a deep voice. "But that's exactly what we need, isn't it?" Bian Que hugged it, and the cold voice breathed softly.

"That's right, the real focus of the war is not on the success or failure of the battlefield, the more seriously they take the situation on the battlefield, the more forces and resources they will put into the battlefield. This blindness will make them ignore Afang Palace! Ying Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he said, "So when I learned the news that Xiang Yu occupied Lingcheng strongly, I didn't rush to take any action, but gave them time to slowly transfer more troops to Lingcheng - if you want this military town so much, let them consolidate it slowly, so that we can have more time to prepare for Lingchi!" ”

"Sixty-one days, as originally planned, it will take sixty-one days before the Ling Chi smelting is completed." Bian Que raised his dark green eyes and looked at Ying Zheng, and said in a deep voice through the quaint scarf on his face, "No matter what, it's enough for us to drag on for these sixty-one days." ”

"Sixty-one ......" Ying Zheng quieted his voice, chewed carefully, and then his eyes flickered for a moment, and asked, "Can't it be faster?" The moment he heard Ying Zheng's words, Bian Que's eyes couldn't help but flicker, but he shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible." ”

The forbidden magic circle that originally took ten years to prepare, they had already pressed the time to three years, and every minute of time that was not refined required to fill in the huge life resources. "After Ling Chi started the melting, it would be impossible to advance time any longer—no matter how many lives were sacrificed, it would be impossible......"

Ying Zheng didn't ask again, since it didn't work, just let it go, in the past three years, in order to reduce time, they have sacrificed too many lives...... At this moment, a steady sound of footsteps came from afar in the dark corridor, and Ying Zheng and Bian Que's eyes moved slightly, but they saw Bai Qi wearing war demon armor appear in this secret underground compartment.

"Your Majesty, I'm back." When Bai Qi walked to the other end of the sand table, he stopped and said to Ying Zheng, "The 250,000 troops of Qianjiangling have all been mobilized by me, and they will go to Lingcheng from three routes, and they will be able to do it in twenty days." Ying Zheng paused for a moment, and then said, "There are still 100,000 Praetorian Guards in the Imperial City, and then I want you to lead these 100,000 Praetorian Guards to go on the expedition, together with the 250,000 troops that have been sent to Lingcheng, which is occupied by Xiang Yu!" ”

An army of 350,000! Attack a city with a huge army of 350,000! Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, but immediately received the order, and he had no doubts about Yingzheng. But Bian Que on the side obviously frowned, and said, "Dispatch all the military forces to attack Lingcheng?" As Your Majesty said before, the Mausoleum City is no longer important, why do you want to fight for it, and it is still necessary to dispatch all military forces......"

"Bian Que, you don't understand military and political things...... Yingzheng turned around and smiled silently. It is because the Lingcheng is not important that I want to make it more important - the Lingcheng is the hinterland of war between Qin and Chu since ancient times, and mastering this city can be said to be to grasp the initiative in the war within a country, so once a war breaks out, it is definitely a place for soldiers to fight, which is why Xiang Yu has to give priority to occupying Lingcheng at all costs. ”

"Of course, not to mention Lingcheng now, the whole war, and even the whole country are not important to us—but, Xiang Yu doesn't know all this. And if we act too calmly, they will surely detect heresy and discover the secrets of Afang Palace—so we need to show them that we value Lingcheng too much, even more than they do! ”

"In this way, they will be more firm in their judgment, and they will concentrate more forces on the city to fight us to the death, so that they will no longer pay attention to the Afang Palace, and the purpose of delaying time will be achieved—even after we have dispatched these three hundred and fifty thousand troops, the strength of numbers alone can cause them a great obstacle -- so that it will not be difficult to delay their pace for sixty-one days."

“…… But after dispatching the entire army, the Xianyang Palace will lose its guards and fall into a serious emptiness. Bian Que thought for a moment and continued. Xianyang Palace ......" Yingzheng suddenly turned around, his dragon-like pupils flashed with a faint light, "Xianyang Palace is not important......"

This palace is too small, after all, it can't accommodate the emperor's heart! "Allocate all the military strength to the battlefield, let the war break out as far away as possible, and I will cover the eyes of Xiang Yu and Liu Bang with the most tragic war."

Bian Que didn't speak, his expression changed back to as cold as ever, since Yingzheng didn't care about everything, he didn't care even more - he didn't care about anything anymore with only an empty shell left, he was just worried about whether Yingzheng could drag on these sixty-one days...... That's it. After half a sound, Bian Que slowly exhaled: "If it is decided that this is the last battle, if you do your best - I think you can wake up the corpse demon......" "That's the idea. Ying Zheng glanced at Bian Que and said, "This is also one of the reasons why I have sent you back to the palace - it's time to open the blood pool and wake up the corpse demon." ”

Bai Qi, who was standing on the side, trembled slightly, and when he heard the corpse demon that Ying Zheng and Bai Qi said, the four eyes hidden under the battle helmet suddenly froze, and a chill from instinct surged in Bai Qi's heart—although he remained silent, he still stood resolutely upright.

"The matter of the awakening of the corpse demon is entrusted to you, what materials do you need, directly pass my order to get it in the imperial treasury." Ying Zheng looked at Bian Que and said.

"I don't need any materials, and I don't need - to be precise, because I can only awaken the corpse at best, but we want not only to awaken, but also to conquer!" Bian Que shook his head lightly and said coldly, "Now, only one person can do all this. ”

"Who?" Ying Zheng asked. Bian Que paused for a few seconds, then looked at Bai Qi who was standing quietly on the side with a cold gaze, and said slowly, "Bai Qi! ”

Hearing his name, Bai Qi subconsciously raised his head, and the four eyes hidden under the battle helmet were slightly cold. "Only those who have experienced hell can conquer the monsters in hell." Bai Qi's eyes froze, yes, he was the one who came out of that hell, he had to forget, he was about to forget—all the fears! "Ah Qi, no problem, right?"

Bai Qi's eyes flickered, and he saw Ying Zheng looking at him from a distance, and asked. "No problem...... Bai Qi calmed down, and the whole person became resolute and tough again, and agreed to Yingzheng's request without hesitation.

As long as Yingzheng needs it, no matter what it is, Bai Qi will do it for him, no matter what, even death. "Well, then you stay in the Imperial Palace for a few days first, and go to the Imperial City Wei Palace Domain to awaken the corpse demon...... As for the army that set off from Qianjiangling, there are still twenty days to go, so you should hurry up and stay out of the way. ”

"Obey orders!" Bai Qi replied firmly. "Okay, don't waste time, you can go right away." Ying Zheng said.

Bai Qi nodded, but his body did not move, but said after a moment of delay: "Your Majesty, the minister has something I want to report." ”

"Say." Ying Zheng looked at Bai Qi with a little confusion and allowed to play. "The attack campaign in the 20th day broke out in Lingcheng, which is the heart of the geographical location of the interior, and I am worried that when we go out to attack the city, we will be jointly attacked by some hidden remnants of the inner country, especially worried that the forces of the organ city will suddenly attack us and attack us...... Therefore, for the sake of safety, I suggest that an army of 30,000 people be allocated to attack the Organ City first, and entangle the forces of the Organ City, so that they will not be able to protect themselves for a while, and they will not be able to pull away. ”

Ying Zheng was silent, and Long Zhishu's pupils quietly examined Bai Qi's sharp battle helmet, the invincible war demon armor, and even more examined Bai Qi, and his words beat uneasily, "You still can't face Mozi...... Is that right? Ying Zheng looked at Bai Qi squarely and hit the nail on the head. Bai Qi didn't speak, just stood quietly in place, letting the firmness of his body turn into a rock-like stiffness.

"Go ahead."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Qi replied heavily, then turned to leave. "Ah Qi, you must know that sooner or later you are going to meet Mozi on the battlefield, no matter how much you don't want to see him, he will come to you by himself!" Ying Zheng looked at Bai Qi's back and said to him in a deep voice.

Bai Qi's footsteps paused, and then quickly walked forward. Watching Bai Qi's heavy figure gradually move away, Bian Que's gaze suddenly lost his mind, what kind of strange power was there to influence these people...... Feelings? It's a pity that now it's too late for such a self to experience what feelings are, and now it's the same as the corpse of yourself.

"Bian Que ......" Ying Zheng's voice evoked him who was a little distracted. There is one more thing......" Bian Que looked at Ying Zheng and listened to him. "That elixir can be refined...... Ying Zheng continued.

"Have you decided?" Bian Que paused for a moment, then looked at Ying Zheng's pupils and said, "To refine the Blood Purifying Pill, you need to use the purest blood of the king in your body." "Hmm...... Now that everything is coming to an end, in the face of unknown reincarnation - at least, leave her a Blood Purifying Pill. ”

Ying Zheng looked at the huge sand table beside him, not at Qin Chu made of sand, but just at the delicate moist sand, his expression Zhang Liang was slightly blind, and his thoughts were like the ups and downs of the deep sea. Floating in the void, he also floated in front of him the open ancient book of words and spirits, and the words of words and spirits faintly flashed with fireflies, as if he was about to break free from the shackles of the pages. When he stretched out his finger and touched it on the mysterious words, all his feelings and thoughts disappeared in an instant—he sank into the words and saw the prophecy.

In the turbulent sea, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared, and the entire sea ships and humans were trapped in this whirlpool. They were nervous, they were afraid, but none of them would give up. Therefore, people grabbed the rudder in their hands and drove the boat under their feet to fight against this huge whirlpool, vowing to break out of the encirclement of the whirlpool. However, just when people were desperate to fight against the whirlpool, they did not realize that on the sea beyond the whirlpool, another unimaginably large whirlpool was silently brewing, which was more than ten times the size of the whirlpool they were in, but no one noticed it.

Therefore, at the moment when people were about to fight with the small whirlpool, the huge whirlpool opened its bloody mouth, not to mention other existences on the sea, even the whirlpool that trapped countless ships, and it was also directly swallowed by it.

Of course, those who were still fighting against the small whirlpool were also swallowed up in an instant...... Zhang Liang opened his eyes suddenly, and exhaled silently—"In the whirlpool, I don't see the curse in front of me." ”
