Chapter 296
In short, these things are things that have already been born and will almost never change, and it is useless to think about them, so Li Xunlian didn't continue to think about them.
What he has to do now is to think of a good way to fool the Blue Demon Hundred and Two to the side of Tianyan City, and he can't show the slightest bit of hindsight.
Of course, except for misunderstanding Gu Panxi because of Hu Wan's letterhead, when he broke into the palace at night, he almost never took the initiative to fight an unprepared battle.
The same is true at this moment, he has already thought of an excuse on the way here, if he wants to wait for the scene to make up temporarily, no matter how smart he Li Xun is, he is not safe.
"One hundred and two, you and I have also suffered a lot, from the earthquake position of the galaxy to this Kyushu big 6, for such a long time, not only have you not been able to make a contribution, but you are also nesting in the cave and depressed, I feel ashamed in my heart. Li Xun sighed and said very seriously.
When the green demon Bai Twenty heard this, he hurriedly performed a very formal etiquette of the demon clan, and said: "The adult is serious, we are willing to follow the adult, and I remember that the adult also told me that we should learn the advantages of the human race." There is a saying that only when you suffer hardship can you become a master, and I keep it in mind!"
Li Xunlian thought it was very interesting when he heard this, it seems that the green demon Baier is really working hard.
So he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are very good, to be honest, I am also the most optimistic about you among all the green demon warriors." ”
As he spoke, he cleared his throat again, attracting the eyes of all the green demons.
Some of those green demons were picking their feet, some were catching each other in pairs, some didn't know what they were thinking, and some were originally around Li Xunlian.
At this moment, when they heard what Lord Hongsai was going to say, they immediately stopped what they were doing, and they all cast a listening gaze at Li Xunlian.
Li Xunlian was very satisfied when he saw this, putting aside the messy actions in front of him, just looking at the discipline at this moment, it was really incomparable to ordinary Terran troops.
"Brothers, I said that there is much to learn from the Terrans, especially their culture and some of their spirits. In this regard, he has done a good job, and everyone should ask him for advice and learn more in the future, and strive to keep up with him. Li Xunlian said something like that, and the green demons listened more like that.
This is undoubtedly in front of all the green demons to give the green demon Baier a big red date, he "eat" it and tasted the sweetness, obviously very happy, even a little embarrassed to scratch his head, modestly said: "Where is it, Lord Hongsai has won the prize, human beings have a word called guard against arrogance and rashness, I must not be proud, and strive to make a better example for everyone in the future." ”
Hearing this, Li Xunlian was stunned, he never thought that this thing had even learned to guard against arrogance and rashness, and he really worked hard.
In addition, if the Blue Demon Baier can guard against arrogance and rashness, then Li Xunlian really admires him. The human race pays attention to modesty, and the traditions of the demon clan do not have these, in their culture, they should show off their military exploits, and if they have proud achievements, they should stride forward, which is the reward for their efforts.
Of course, it is not enough to judge which one is good and which one is bad just for these two cultures. Not only because everyone has a different opinion, but also because pride and humility are opposites in and of themselves.
Pride can make people more confident, humility can make people more calm, and there is no doubt that both personalities should be desirable.
But at the same time, excessive pride can make people complacent, and excessive modesty can make people hypocritical, and the two personalities have their own undesirable points.
In short, this is not an absolute thing, but it is a must-have thing, and the perfect blend of the two is the best character.
And character often determines a person's achievements.
The fact that the Blue Demon Hundred and Two are now able to accept the humble meaning that the human race has been cultivated since ancient times is obviously a very big improvement.
For a moment, Li Xunlian was even happy for him. But soon, Li Xunlian felt that this demon was a bit terrifying, and if he was allowed to get in touch with the human world more and more, he was afraid that he would eventually have to become quite shrewd, which would become an unstable factor, and even destroy the key point of Li Xunlian's plan.
So, he thought of a bad way again.
"Ahem!" After straightening his throat again, Li Xunlian said seriously: "One hundred and two, your progress is certainly worth exaggerating. But you must figure out Master Li, there must be a lot of things worth learning from the human race, but don't forget, the culture of our demon race is the most powerful, the most intelligent, and the most correct cultural tradition in the entire star field, otherwise it would not be us standing on the Kyushu 6 of the human race now. ”
The green demon Baier realized and nodded heavily.
"What do you mean by my lord, I won't be in contact with human culture in the future?"
"No, it's not that you won't be contacted, but that you will be based on our demon culture, and under this premise, you will think about it in combination with the culture of their human race, but don't forget your roots!"
"For example, if you are only humble in front of me, you can be humble and humble. But Lord Ben is praising you now, what is the intention of praising you, do you know?" asked Li Xunlian in an unfathomable manner.
The green demon Baier shook his head, confused and said he didn't know.
Li Xunlian smiled, and said: "The purpose of praising you is to let the brothers of other demon warriors forge ahead, so that they can learn from you, but you are humble at this time, isn't it to reduce their momentum to forge ahead? ”
Talking nonsense, the green demon Baier was completely confused, Li Xunlian was secretly proud in his heart, looked directly at him, and said, "You, do you understand?"
"If you go back to the adult, the little one doesn't understand. "This is another advantage of the demon warriors, if they don't understand, they don't understand, even if they risk upsetting adults, they won't pretend to understand.
And this characteristic is quite common among the human race, some are for the sake of face, some are afraid of being reprimanded, and often do not know how to pretend to understand, which eventually leads to failure to meet the expectations or tasks entrusted by others, especially the most common among the imperial court soldiers.
obviously doesn't understand, and can still pretend to be thoughtful and awake, which is almost a common problem of soldiers and officials who mix with the government and the opposition.
As for the people in the rivers and lakes, this situation can be relatively reduced. But they have another, more serious and unbearable condition.
That's what you said makes sense, and I know you're right, but I have to keep my mouth shut. If it's just a mouthful, for the sake of a breath, I just don't change it, even in secret, I have to stick to the wrong way or get used to it.
This has led to many undesirable consequences, ranging from slow progress in cultivation to the collapse of the sect, and the severity of which depends on what the mistakes they insist on.
Incidents like this abound.
Take the simplest and most convincing example to know, but this person is not a person in the rivers and lakes, but he is involved in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Who is this man?
Naturally, she is the baby daughter of Qingxiao Emperor Zhu Yi, and she is also the prominent Princess Xi Zhu Xi in the whole world!
Although Li Xunlian had only heard it once, he had every reason to believe that Emperor Qingxiao had definitely warned Zhu Xi not to provoke him more than once behind his back, but Zhu Xi's choice was to turn a deaf ear, and at first she didn't know that Li Xunlian was the innkeeper and a figure who could be on an equal footing with her in terms of identity and background.
Then later, Li Xunlian went to the south with her brother, so she should have known at this time, right?
However, didn't she know that the choice was to secretly send a letter to Zhu Cheng, to infiltrate Zhu Tong's army, to drug and steal tiger talismans, and to marry into the Chengwang Mansion without saying a word, and to do a lot of things that made Qingxiao Huang's temples white?
This is a typical example, because Zhu Xi's final fate was miserable. As for the she herself was played with by Zhu Cheng in the applause, she didn't mention it, only said that Zhu Cheng's 100,000 troops were raided by King Cheng's army outside the Dragon Bone City, and the losses were so heavy, which is something that the entire Kyushu can see!
And what is the reason for all this?
I'm afraid there is no need to say more, if Zhu Xi could listen to Emperor Qingxiao's advice and not provoke Li Xunlian, she would not have to be an enemy of Li Xunlian, and she would not have betrayed her brother in the end to seek Li Xunlian's defeat under the accumulation of grievances......
To be honest, not only the Blue Demon Hundred and Two, but also not only the Green Demon Tribe, but even in most of the Demon Clan warriors, there is this kind of advantage.
This is also one of the reasons why they were able to enter the Kyushu continent with a small number of troops.
The continent of Kyushu is vast, with no less than 100 large and small countries headed by Qingxiao Country, the total area on the ground is more than tens of millions of miles, and the total population is even more than 100 million.
From the time Aichen led the demon clan to invade Kyushu, he first secretly killed the people, and gradually controlled the king, colluding with the people in the rivers and lakes, and to this day, he can even blatantly sway across the Kyushu continent.
But if you think about it, have they ever had a large number of troops?
Outside the galaxy, there are a lot of elite soldiers and strong generals in the Xinghe garrison, but in terms of those numbers, the military reserves of the Qingxiao Kingdom are a drop in the bucket, let alone the entire Kyushu Continent.
But they are able to make waves in the Kyushu Continent, and even climb step by step, until now they have been able to compete with the Qingxiao Imperial Court, the reason for this, if you don't look for it from the root of human nature, where can you find a reason?
Of course, I am afraid that it is too much to say that the court is divided, because this definition is very vague. If it is more accurate, it should be divided in some aspects.
In terms of military strength, the demon clan is far behind the Qingxiao Imperial Court, but they control the power of Chengwang, and the entire southern land is in the hands of Mourning Dust.
What kind of territory is the Southland for the Qingxiao Country?
It is simply a resource state, maybe a hundred years ago the south was still very poor, but Cheng Wang Zhu Duo has been secretly developing since he took the throne, after his efforts, the south has been quite rich, on the surface can see the barrenness, in fact, there are many soldiers and food, even than the hinterland of Zhongzhou.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to turn the tide in the last stop of Li Xunlian and Zhu Tong's southern expedition, that is, in the battle of Dragonbone City, and suddenly kill 200,000 troops to annihilate Zhu Tong's army!
What does this mean, it shows that the southern land is already a battleground for soldiers, and this place has fallen into the hands of the demon clan, they use this as a base camp to stabilize their foothold, and then slowly spread outward, the blueprint is definitely good!
Of course, if there was no role of Aichen and Zhu Xi at the beginning, it would be useless for King Cheng to have an army of 200,000, but then again, if there was no King Cheng's army of 200,000, no matter how powerful Aichen was, he would be able to overthrow Zhu Li's 100,000 army by himself?
Obviously, this is impossible, and it can be seen from this that the power of Wai Chen's alone is equivalent to 200,000 troops on the balance of Cheng Wang!
Otherwise, he would have owned eighteen cities in the south, with 200,000 elite soldiers, and with such strength, he could directly compete with some countries second only to Qingxiao Country. Even if you can't beat the Qingxiao Imperial Court, you can choose to march north into a nearby small country in order to develop a way to survive.
If such combat effectiveness is not a matter of people's hearts, why should they surrender to Mourning and be manipulated by him in applause?
Perhaps, in King Cheng's view, the most important role of Aichen is not his identity as a demon or the demon warriors under him, but that Aichen is the only person he can cooperate with who can compete with Qingxiao Emperor and the big treasurer.
There is no way, the battle between the rivers and lakes will generally not involve the royal court, but the royal court war must be stirred up by the people of the rivers and lakes.
There are also a lot of powers in the Shenhai realm under King Cheng, but they are simply vulnerable in front of the two peerless powerhouses of the Great Shopkeeper and Qingxiao Emperor, even if they take the lead from Chief Wei, they can't compete.
Often, the existence of a supreme powerhouse can sometimes even dominate the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, King Cheng chose Mourning, no, to be precise, King Cheng originally thought that he chose Mourning, but it turned out that it was Mourning that chose him, and he did not regard him as a partner, but as a subordinate.
Even to the ugly point, King Cheng is a domesticated wolf king in Aichen's eyes, and the wolf cubs and earth dogs under this wolf king are what Aichen really needs.
After all, someone has to charge into battle, after all, someone has to open up territory for them, right?
And if you want to do this, blood must be unavoidable, but their demon warriors are simply not enough to stuff their teeth for the Kyushu Continent, so if they want to conquer this continent without losing too many warriors, what is the best way?
Naturally...... Drive them to kill each other!
Otherwise, becoming a king is nothing to him. As long as Wai Chen wants to, he can kill him with a flick of his fingers, and what is the use of him wanting such a person?
Undoubtedly, he is the force that wants to become a king.
