On the way back to the headquarters from the Chinese army's big tent, everyone was in a good mood, including Li Xunlian.

In fact, calm down and think about it carefully, with the lives of both parties as a bet, the bet just now was really excessive. But if you go too far, you will go too far, many times people live just in one breath, originally this matter was just a quarrel between Su and others and those generals, Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong are representatives of both sides, and one person stood up and said a soft word, and this matter is over.

But not only did he, Zhu Tong, but tried his best to protect his subordinates, and used dogs and servants to humiliate Su Qimeiwu, which Li Xunlian couldn't bear anymore!

In addition, there was already some competition between the two of them, which was positive before this, and it was a competition that could push each other forward, but after that, it became a bit nonsense.

But what about nonsense, everywhere looks forward and backward, and what kind of true temperament do you talk about!

When I insult my brother in front of me, it doesn't matter if you are a prince or an emperor, even if it is the king of heaven, I will poke a hole for you.

Stretching a big waist, Li Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm busy now." ”

Su and Mei Wu were in a good mood, and said from the side: "It's so relieving, don't worry, we will definitely win this bet." ”

"Why are you so confident?" Li Xunlian tilted his head to look at Su Qi, the role of this product is equivalent to a think tank, since he speaks like this, there must be a reason for him.

"Haha, I said I just said it casually, okay?"

Li Xun glanced at him, and it was estimated that Su was really just casually saying that it was a difficult problem to conquer Zhennan Pass, let alone go deep into the hinterland to enter King Cheng's lair. The main problem is that they have too few troops and have hardly experienced battle formations, which is the biggest drawback that cannot be solved quickly.

However, everything in the world has opposites, and there are disadvantages and benefits, and their advantage lies in this. Although the number is small, they are all elites. Although he has not experienced any battles, he has absolute unity and discipline, which is one of the three elements of "harmony".

Of course, no matter how peaceful people are, they still can't erase the disadvantage in numbers, don't even think about attacking the city, what Li Xunlian has to do now is to formulate various surprise attack strategies, and strive to attack the hinterland of the south along the way, without giving the other party a chance to react, and not fighting with him.

That's the only viable strategy they can think of at the moment. After all, 1,500 people are all Gu Xuan Realm Xuan Cultivators, if they fight quickly, I believe that it is difficult for anyone to stop Cheng Wang, even if he rushes into the 10,000 people array, he can theoretically come and go freely.

Therefore, what Li Xunlian has to worry about is the last battle, that is, after attacking the hinterland, how to face the "Dragon Bone City" of King Cheng's lair.

There is the end, and it is useless to fight fast if you don't capture and kill the king, and when the tug-of-war begins, the disadvantage of the number of people will be clearly exposed.

Of course, it's easier said than done, and at the moment it's just a matter of thinking, if you want to hit the vicinity of Dragon Bone City, no one can guarantee what kind of variables there will be.

Take one step at a time to see one step at a time, one step at a glance at a hundred steps is indecision, and one step at a time to see three moves is the real master.

Li Xunlian doesn't need to think too much now, as long as he solves a few important things in front of him, it can be regarded as a successful start.

He knew that very well, and he knew what was most important.

First, when he goes on the expedition, he must ensure that there are no worries outside the battle array, and his worries are Hu Wan and Gu Panxi, these two people must be safe and sound.

Second, it is necessary to find out as much as possible the identity of the mysterious figure encountered by Li Zhan, not to mention knowing oneself and the enemy, at least not to be confused about the origin of the potential enemy.

Third, no matter what kind of relationship he and Zhu Tong have now, the two must ensure that they will not target each other. Li Xunlian can definitely guarantee this, and Zhu Tong will naturally not be so despicable, but Li Xunlian can't believe the people under Zhu Tong.

Only by solving these three points can they adopt the strategy of long-distance attack and penetrate deep into the enemy's hinterland without any worries.

Unconsciously, he had returned to his own position, and the first thing Li Xunlian did was to go to the big tent where Hu Wan was, not only to visit Hu Wan's condition, but also to Gu Panxi.

Seeing Li Xunlian coming back, Gu Panxi looked sneaky again, hid the things in his hand behind him, and then put them close to him while he was not paying attention, and then came to talk to him.

"Don't hide, I see it. Li Xunlian first watched Hu Wan's condition, and the latter did not improve but did not deteriorate.

"What do you see?" Gu Panxi rolled his big eyes, with an expression that he didn't admit to being killed.

"Isn't it just embroidering a sachet, you need to cover it up?" Li Xunlian didn't see it too clearly, he guessed.

"No!" Gu Panxi still quibbled, but what she embroidered was indeed a sachet, but in terms of appearance, no matter who looked at it, it was definitely not a sachet.

"Do you see this is a sachet, does your sachet look like this?" Gu Panxi took out the sachet and handed it to Li Xunlian and asked.

How can this idiot still be proud......

Li Xun glanced at it a few times, and he really couldn't refute it, other people's sachets are small and delicate, and she is only ...... Indescribable.

"Okay, seeing that you have worked so hard to embroider for two days, I will reluctantly accept it. Li Xunlian then hung on his waist.

Gu Panxi was stunned for a moment, then his face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Don't be ashamed, who said it was for you." ”

Li Xunlian smiled, not to give it to anyone, and he didn't admit it. He didn't want to dwell on this topic, and he didn't return the sachet, no matter how ugly it was, it was embroidered by Gu Panxi himself, even if it was ugly, his heart was just as sweet.

"How about Hu Wan, there wasn't anything abnormal when I wasn't there, right?"

"Is it a dream talk?" asked Gu Panxi.

"Count!" Li Xunlian's face condensed slightly, don't talk in a dream, just snort a few times, that is also the existence that may become a breakthrough.

Then Gu Panxi learned Hu Wan's voice and color, and the content was very vague, because what Hu Wan said was very vague, probably mentioning what kind of demons and what "ancient" ones.

Although Li Xunlian heard it in a fog, the word Hades shocked his heart, and it was obvious that these two words were by no means ordinary.

After going through these two words in his mind, whether it was an orthodox history book or a wild history, Li Xunlian did not find any clues. Then the four sword slaves came separately, and after asking them, there was no progress, so they had no choice but to wait for the big shopkeeper to come.

That night, Li Xunlian's headquarters held a celebration banquet, and the joy of victory must be shared with his brothers, which is very important.

Of course, the celebration feast is a celebration feast, and instead of decreasing, the patrols that should have been made more cautious. There have been many cases of relaxing vigilance and being counterattacked by the enemy after victory, and Li Xunlian will not make such a mistake.

simply became the king and didn't make any moves, otherwise tonight would be another wave of losses.

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early morning of the next day, a figure sneakily touched Li Xunlian's headquarters, and before he could get close to the walled gate, he could be caught by the sentry.

The sentry escorted this person to Li Xunlian's big tent, and Li Xunlian looked at it, but it was a strategist under Zhu Tong.

"The old man has seen the childe. The strategist bowed his hand, this number of courtesies is simply different from yesterday.

Li Xunlian looked at him a few times and said with a smile: "What does the old gentleman mean by this, to spy on the enemy?"

The hostile situation was obviously sarcastic, and the old strategist blushed and said: "Childe said and laughed, the old man thought about it, but what your colleagues said and did yesterday was inappropriate, and the old man also knew that the bet between you and His Royal Highness the prince was just impulsive, so ......"

"So what?" In fact, hearing this, Li Xunlian had already guessed the other party's intention, and he just hoped that he would withdraw the gambling contract. However, this matter is not possible in Li Xunlian's opinion, at least he will not take the initiative to withdraw the gambling contract, if Zhu Tong has the heart to seek peace, he will not be embarrassed.

"So the old man begged the son to withdraw the gambling contract. The advisor buried his head deeper, apparently knowing that this sentence was no different from farting.

"Do you think it's possible?" Li Xunlian smiled: "I know what you think, I set up such a bet with Zhu Tong, if he wins, it would be better." But if he loses, then he will have to kill himself to fulfill the agreement, and when the Qingxiao Emperor will blame him, you will be responsible for the unfavorable guardianship, and you will probably have to lose your head, right?"

The strategist's body trembled slightly when he heard this, before he came, he felt that Li Xunlian was just a martial artist, and the first victory was brave, and it had nothing to do with scheming. With his three-inch incorruptible tongue, supplemented by various high-sounding reasons such as the righteousness of the family and the country, and the tranquility of Kyushu, he can definitely convince this son.

However, this is not the case, what he asks for is what Li Xunlian said. What kind of family and country are peaceful in Kyushu, in fact, this old guy is afraid of being implicated.

When his mind was seen through, the strategist didn't dare to raise his head, his old face was as red as a monkey's ass, and he was embarrassed to look up.

"This son is not embarrassed for you, if you can talk to Zhu Tong, you can do it. Li Xunlian waved his hand to signal that he could leave, "But you remember, your prince is just Zhu Tong in my eyes, don't expect to let this prince bow his head in front of him." ”

The strategist was resigned, and after saluting again, he hurriedly retreated.

After the strategists left, Li Xunlian began to gather the four sword slaves to study the offensive strategy. But it didn't take long to study, and someone from Zhu Tong's side came, and this time the two of them came, and they were talking about this matter.

Subsequently, in the course of this day, there were as many as a dozen visitors, including strategists and generals, and even this one had not been driven away, and that embarrassing situation had already come.

Li Xun was overwhelmed, and finally told the sentry that if anyone approached the gate of the village, he would be driven away directly, so that he could be "peaceful".

Sitting in the military tent, Li Xunlian suddenly felt very funny. Think about it carefully, who are these people, with such subordinates, he feels sorry for Zhu Tong.

But looking at it at a deeper level, you can see the instability of the imperial court through the surface, the civil and military generals Pan Sheng is afraid of death, and it turns out that under the solid appearance of the imperial court, the inside has long been full of holes......

It's okay for Li Xunlian to see through this matter, just don't be seen through by King Cheng, otherwise it will be an opportunity. Although Li Xunlian doesn't have a good impression of the imperial court, at least compared to King Cheng, he still has to lean towards the former.

"No, no matter what, I have to remind Zhu Tong of this matter, personal grievances are personal grievances, and I have to distinguish between public and private. ”

Thinking so, Li Xunlian visited Zhu Tong late at night. Because there were too many imperial generals involved in this matter, they had to talk to each other in secret, so Li Xunlian chose to avoid the guards and sneak near the big tent of the Chinese army......

It was noon at this moment, but the Chinese army's tent was still brightly lit. Since this is the residence of the prince, the cultivation of the guards is high, and Li Xunlian does not dare to get too close. But at this distance, it was enough to hear the cold voice full of disdain coming from the big tent of the Chinese army.

However, he said that many strategists and generals failed to please Li Xunlian, and they felt hatred at the same time when they were depressed, but after thinking about it, this matter still had to be resolved, otherwise if the prince really had an accident, how would it be good for them to live this old life that still wanted to be glorious and rich.

As a result, there was a good show of joint advice. From the evening until midnight, these old guys were all lying in Zhu Tong's big tent, kneeling on the ground one by one, and asked the prince to withdraw the gambling contract.

Of course, their rhetoric here in Zhu Tong must be good-

For example: Your Royal Highness, you are jade, then Li Xunlian is only a porcelain at best, how can you depreciate yourself and touch the broken porcelain with jade?

Another example: Your Highness, think about it, our side has an army of 100,000 troops, and there is no Li Xun who can conquer the southern land, but if he gambles with you like this, whether he wins or loses, he is discrediting your wisdom! His loss is a foregone conclusion, but even if he loses, the people of the world will think that His Highness is too powerful to win, and this is not cost-effective! According to the old minister's opinion, this is the evil scheming of the child surnamed Li, and he just wants to destroy your wisdom. Lao Chen dared to pack the ticket, the day this son lost the bet, he would inevitably flee back to Shenjian Peak, can we still attack Shenjian Peak at that time......

These are all original words, and I will not list them all. Li Xunlian listened from the camp tent, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. During the day, they talked in front of themselves about how their prince was impulsive, although there was no disrespectful words, but it was also a tactful expression of the fault of Zhu Yan.

But now, in the blink of an eye, all the fault is blamed on himself. And it's not just a fault, in their mouths, Li Xunlian is simply a sinister villain. Even Li Xunlian, who doesn't like to scold, has the urge to scold his mother at this moment.

What kind of stuff is this, a typical set of bright and dark sets of wall grass that sees people and talks about people, learns to learn and crys!

Of course, for now, whether they are wall grass or not has little to do with Li Xunlian.

But after the conquest of the king, what if the end of the world comes, the day when the demon clan has a large-scale invasion? The imperial court and the inn are both pillars of Kyushu, and the pillars of the imperial court are full of moths, for the sake of Kyushu, this is definitely a big deal.

After waiting quietly for a while, Li Xunlian thought that after these old dogs left, he would have to explain Li to Zhu Tong no matter what, even if he thought he was sowing discord, after all, the matter was big, although it looked inconspicuous, but the possible consequences had to be prevented.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no sign of the "old dogs" leaving, and the big tent was still noisy.

Just when Li Xunlian lost his patience, Zhu Tong's voice finally came from the big tent.

It was a cold tone with heavy disdain: "Do you think that this palace will inevitably lose?" Hmph, Li Xunlian is just a chicken and a dog in the eyes of this palace!"

Hearing this, Li Xunlian's anger immediately rose. In fact, he also knew that Zhu Tong was likely to be angry, but whether it was angry or not, if you have the ability to say it to your face, saying this behind your back is in line with the style that a prince should have!

In other words, although Li Xunlian has always thought that he is stronger than Zhu Tong in his heart, has he slandered Zhu Tong so much behind his back!

The answer is yes, he doesn't!

No matter how tense the relationship between the two was, he never disrespected Zhu Tong, whether openly or secretly.

This sentence directly made Zhu Tong's image plummet in Li Xunlian's heart, and the previous sympathy and positive competitiveness disappeared. Even, even if Zhu Tong proposes to give up the gambling contract now, Li Xunlian will not agree!

raised his breath and spoke, only to hear Li Xunlian sneer: "What a local chicken and tile dog, Zhu Tong, you remember, if I am a local chicken and tile dog, you can only be a maggot disease cat, no matter how unbearable I am, I will always be above your head!"

After that, Li Xunlian strode away, and several guards flashed forward to intercept it, and the Dragon Shadow Sword came out of its sheath without hesitation, and the surroundings were directly reflected in the blue light.

In the battle spirit, Zhu Tong walked out of the tent, he first waved his hand to show off the guards, and then came to Li Xunlian, and said: "Fang Cai's words are impulsive words, this palace is not trying to explain anything, but to tell you that in the heart of this palace, you have never been able to enter the elegant hall." The bet with you is just a face-saving reward. If you want to compare with this palace, I'm afraid you're not worthy of it now!"

Zhu Tong didn't lie, the reason why he spoke too aggressively just now was just because he was disturbed by a group of old ministers. In fact, this can't all be blamed on him, those old ministers chattered in his tent all night, although they were all praise and flattery on the surface, but Zhu Tong also understood the hidden meaning inside. They didn't think they had a good chance of winning the bet, but with such a high-sounding statement, he couldn't afford it. Under the depression, he said that sentence on impulse.

Of course, the most important thing is that the old ministers compare him with Li Xunlian. As Zhu Tong said, he never felt that Li Xunlian could be equal to him in terms of identity, and he respected Li Xunlian because of the latter's temperament and talent, and it was precisely because of this that he was even more reluctant to hear someone compare the two with things that had nothing to do with Xuan Xiu, because Zhu Tong felt that only in the hearts of men and rivers and lakes, Li Xunlian was worthy of being compared with him.

As for the conquest and warfare of the world, he is reckless, why should he be compared with himself.

"Your so-called Hall of Elegance is your Imperial Court? If this is the case, this son has no interest in being the person who can ascend to the Hall of Elegance. Li Xunlian put away the Dragon Shadow Sword, and while turning to leave, he said, "In addition, I will give you one last warning." When you have done this, come and repeat what you just said to me. Whether you are worthy or not, it's not just you who say it. That, you need to prove your strength!"

The figure flickered a few times, and soon disappeared into the night. It is worth mentioning that from beginning to end, the group of old ministers did not dare to make any such sound at all.

Looking at the direction Li Xunlian left, Zhu Tong secretly gritted his teeth. He despises anyone in the rivers and lakes, including Li Xunlian and even the big shopkeeper! However, if he gathers people's hearts, he can only be ashamed of himself.

This is a fact, and Zhu Tong will not deny it.

However, he is a conceited person, in his eyes, his own strength alone is enough to attack the city, if it is not arranged by his father, he would rather not follow this group of old ministers.

"Li Xunlian, this palace will let you know that the person who has the last laugh in this bet must be me. Even if you lead a group of wine bags and rice bags, the strength of this palace is enough to defeat you!"

......

The next day, Zhu Tong's army marched steadily, and recommended a huge fifty miles in the direction of Zhennan Pass.

As a result, there are less than 100 miles left on the battle line between the two sides, and a large-scale battle may start at any time. This is Zhu Tong declaring war on King Cheng again, and he is also informing Li Xunlian that the gambling game has begun!

Li Xunlian didn't pay much attention to this situation. Now there is no need for any communication between him and Zhu Tong, just act according to their own wishes. Zhu Tong has an army of 100,000, and it is undoubtedly the safest strategy to advance steadily and slowly, but he can mainly attack quickly, and the risk is relatively greater and the success rate is lower, so he can't rush for a while.

On the third day of Zhu Tong's army, King Cheng sent a team of 10,000 people to attack, Zhu Tong personally went into battle to meet the enemy, the battle lasted for half a day, King Cheng defeated the army, and Zhu Tong personally made great contributions.

According to him, Zhu Tong does have unique means in leading the army, and his ability to fight in the battle is also extremely strong, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has exerted a power far beyond his own cultivation.

This battle made Zhu Tong famous, and the result of this battle of 10,000 people against 10,000 people was that only 3,000 men and horses on the Cheng side were able to escape back to Guanzhong, while Zhu Tong's loss was only more than 1,000 people.

After two days, the war resumed. It is said that King Cheng transferred a strong general from other passes to lead an army of 30,000 to attack Zhu Tong's main formation, but the result was still a rout, and the losses on both sides were still disproportionate.

Since then, large and small wars have often occurred, but Zhu Tong's means are really amazing, Chengwang has never been able to get benefits, and even the reserve army in Zhennan Pass has to be exhausted, and only by recruiting soldiers from the people can it continue.

For a time, Zhu Tong's name resounded in the south, and the soldiers on both sides were impressed by the benefits of his soldiers, and they called him the "God of War". At the same time, Zhu Tong also released cruel words, and ten days later, the whole army attacked and won Zhennan Pass in one fell swoop!

Now that Zhu Tong announced the time to break the city, Li Xunlian couldn't wait any longer. He had to penetrate the defense line of Zhennan Pass before Zhu Tong took Zhennan Pass, otherwise he would be suspected of picking up ready-made cheap.

Of course, Li Xunlian would not change his strategy because of this incident and chose to storm the town of Nanguan with 1,500 people, which was an act of seeking death.

His original strategy was to bypass the dangerous peaks on both sides, in fact, whether Zhu Tong broke through or not did not have any impact on his strategy, but in order to avoid tongues, Li Xunlian only had to act in advance.

Although it is a dangerous peak, it is also arranged on the card, and it is a big village of about 3,000 people. This village stands according to danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and suppresses the only way to cross the dangerous peak. According to the report of Tanma, the leader of the village is a bandit, belonging to the role of being recruited by the king, this person is not the kind of reckless person, on the contrary, he is also very scheming, and his strength is about in the later stage of Lingxi.

With Li Xunlian's 1,500 Gu Xuan Realm cultivators, it is not impossible to forcibly take this village, but the loss must be very large. In order to reduce the risk of the guards, they had to choose to camp in the mountains, and they had to think of another clever plan.

During this period, the big shopkeeper finally came in the dust. According to him, the reason why it came a little late was because something unusual happened at Excalibur Peak......
