War broke out.

No one could have imagined that war would come so without warning.

A month ago, the East Xuan Xianmen also sent a delegation to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the Huangji Cliff, and the two immortal forces were quite close, and a month later, the East Xuan Xianmen directly launched a cross-government war and launched a ruthless attack on the territory of the Huangji Cliff.

The Huangji Cliff, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses.

In less than three days, on the western border, six medium-sized cities were lost, more than 100,000 troops were lost, millions of immortals were lost, there were three medicine mountains, and two immortal mines......

It can be described as a nerve-wracking injury.

Under the surprise attack of the Huangji Cliff, he raised his face up and down, and was greatly furious.

Later, I learned that the reason why the Eastern Xuanxian Sect started the war was because its envoys, Wei Rulong and Wei Ruhu, the two great-grandsons of the Great Elder of the Eastern Xuanxian Sect, both died in the territory of the Huangji Cliff.

Wei Rulong's death had been known to the outside world before.

But Wei Ruhu's death only broke out at this time.

Huangji Cliff was unaware of it in advance, and thought that this person had returned to the East Xuan Immortal Gate.

In fact, it was the master of the Dark Hall of the East Xuanxian Gate, according to the report of the Soul Palace, secretly investigated, and found the bodies of the dead Wei Ruhu and other members of the mission in the territory of the Huangji Cliff, and after secretly investigating for a long time, he finally found a clue-

Discovered the breath left by the royal immortal art of the Imperial Cliff.

The spearhead is directed at the Huangji Cliff.

In the eyes of Dongxuan Xianmen, the truth of the matter could not be simpler.

It was undoubtedly the forces of Huangji Cliff who shot behind and slaughtered Wei Rulong, Wei Ruhu and others.

They no longer have the interest and patience to ask Huang Jiya for an explanation.

War exists all the time.

The relationship between the Eastern Xuanxian Gate and the Huangji Cliff was not harmonious in the first place.

Annexation and expansion are the deep-rooted pursuits and dreams of every ambitious Immortal Dao Force at the helm.

In the past, there were also a lot of frictions and disputes between the Eastern Xuanxian Gate and the Huangji Cliff, but they were all restrained within a reasonable range.

Because the Huangji Cliff belongs to the Yuechuan Mansion, and the Dongxuan Immortal Gate belongs to the adjacent Caochuan Mansion, the disputes between the forces of different state capitals, within a certain range, will be mediated by the immortal court of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.

But this time, the Eastern Xuan Immortal Gate Master was famous, and he also reported and dredged in the Immortal Court, so after the first raid on the Eastern Xuan Immortal Gate ended, the Immortal Court has always maintained a wait-and-see posture and has not taken any action.

In this way, Huangji Cliff is undoubtedly very passive.

"What the hell is going on, why did Wei Ruhu die in my court?"

In the Imperial Palace, the new emperor's anger could barely be contained.

After the first raid on the Dongxuan Immortal Gate ended, the Emperor Cliff went up and down to know the news of Wei Ruhu's death, and this kind of hindsight made them suffer heavy losses in the early stage of the war.

The new emperor's anger now is no longer Wei Ruhu's death.

It was Wei Ruhu who died, and he didn't even know until now.

Among the ministers in the palace, no one dared to speak.

Especially Xiao Xiao.

He almost wanted to bury his head in the crotch of his pants like an ostrich.

He couldn't figure it out.

Why is there such a problem in a normal mission reception?

In the territory of the Huangji Cliff, who dared to slaughter the envoys of the Eastern Xuanxian Gate in such a desperate manner?

The remnants of the Great Prince?

The conspiracy of the other surviving princes?

This kind of thing can be said before.

But to say it now is simply to insult someone else's IQ.

Why?

The eldest prince is dead, the trees are falling and scattered, the former power has long ceased to exist, and the other princes who are still breathing are also declining, and their power has long been cleaned up by the new emperor by thunderous means.

Such remnants of the defeated army actually have the ability to kill Wei Ruhu and others from the Eastern Xuanxian Gate Mission, leaving no one behind?

Tricksters.

"Zuo Zhongcheng Xiao Xiao, you are responsible for the reception and welcome of the mission, you can tell me, what is going on?"

The new emperor's voice was cold, as if it came from the depths of the Nine Shadows.

In anger, he called him by his name.

Xiao Xiao came out of the ranks, hunched his waist, opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say a word.

There is simply no way to explain it.

Killing Wei Ruhu and the others, only a strong person at the Golden Immortal level has the ability to do it.

And the golden immortal-level powerhouses in the territory of the Huangji Cliff are all under the absolute control of the royal family, absolutely loyal to the royal family, only the new emperor can move, without the will of the new emperor, it is impossible for the golden immortal to move.

Apart from Jin Xian, who else has the strength to kill Wei Ruhu and the others?

In Xiao Xiao's mind, names flashed wildly.

But he vetoed it again.

Until, Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed and saw Mu Mu standing solemnly in the ranks of generals on the other side, and at this moment, his heart shook suddenly.

Could it be him?

Mu Mu has taken refuge in Huangji Cliff for less than half a year.

His strength, on the surface, is a beginner-level true immortal, which is extremely ordinary.

But this person gives people the feeling that it is deeply hidden and difficult to see the depth clearly.

What if he hides his strength?

Moreover, the origin of this wood pasture is a little vague.

Mu Mu claimed that he was just a casual cultivator who was lucky enough to get the intergenerational inheritance of the animal trainer, but before that, there was no explanation of where he came from and what kind of background.

And even if you get a certain inheritance of loose cultivation, such a strength growth rate is too weird.

It's like a loose practice.

It's more like the heir of the Great Immortal Gate power with a deep heritage.

Don't...... Fraud?

As soon as Xiao Xiao thought of this, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and his back was almost soaked.

It's scary to think about.

If it was really Mu Mu who hid his identity and strength, he would kill Wei Rulong first, and then kill Wei Ruhu...... But it's not right.,Extrapolating in time,Mu Mu has evidence of alibi.。

The most fatal thing is that Mu Mu was still the person he insisted on and recommended at the beginning, and it took a lot of thought to let the new emperor recruit him.

In all respects, Mu Mu could not be the mastermind behind the scenes.

But I don't know why, Xiao Xiao's suspicion of Mu Mu is getting stronger and stronger.

He made up his mind that he must investigate the details of this person.

At this time, Li Mu stood up.

He bowed his hand and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to hold Lord Xiao accountable, I believe that Lord Xiao should be the person who wants the East Xuan Xianmen Mission to have an accident among all people, and he has always been loyal to His Majesty." ”

"Hmph. ”

The new emperor looked at Xiao Xiao and snorted coldly.

However, Li Mu's words still played a role, and the new emperor obviously did not intend to hold Xiao Xiao accountable anymore.

In Xiao Xiao's heart, there are mixed tastes.

Mu Mu's weight in His Majesty's heart is already heavier than his.

Li Mu said again: "Your Majesty, the death of Wei Ruhu and the others is already strange, it stands to reason that the Dongxuan Immortal Sect knows about their death, and the most important thing to do should be to send someone to question, or to tell the Immortal Court, but they have covered the news for more than a month, and brazenly launched the Immortal War, who can guarantee that it is not the Dongxuan Immortal Gate directed and acted by itself, just to find a reason to start a war?"

"Oh?"

The new emperor's heart moved.

That's a plausible explanation.

Xiao Xiao's heart was also moved.

That's right.

Why didn't I think of that?

In case it was the Eastern Xuanxian Sect that deliberately sacrificed Wei Ruhu and Wei Rulong and others in order to start a war, creating a reason that seemed justifiable on the surface...... Well, this can also explain why Wei Ruhu and others died so simply.

If it was the Dongxuan Immortal Sect that wanted to kill his own people, then Wei Ruhu would not be able to escape death even if he was a Golden Immortal cultivator.

Could it be that his previous guess was to wronged Mu Mu?

"There is a point in that. The new emperor nodded.

He looked at the ministers in the hall and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is already like this, how should we deal with it now?"

Many ministers, you look at me, I look at you, I can't give a big case for a while.

"Why don't you make peace? Dongxuan Immortal Gate may just be taking revenge. ”

"You should appeal to the Senting Yuechuan Prefecture Division, and let Senting decide this matter. ”

"Your Majesty has recently ascended the throne, the situation between the DPRK and China is settled, and we should rest and recuperate. ”

Some ministers hesitated for a moment and gave such an answer.

A hint of disappointment flashed across the new emperor's face.

These mediocre people just want to live and steal peace.

He breathed a sigh in his heart, and it was difficult to swallow.

Previously, he had great ambitions to reach a secret alliance with the Donghuang Divine Dynasty, but in his plan, these three or five years were indeed a buffer preparation period for recuperation and cultivating party henchmen, and he did not intend to start a large-scale war.

So that day, in the face of the aggressive Wei Ruhu, under such humiliating conditions, he still showed weakness with the emperor's ninety-five honor, just to buy some time.

Now the Dongxuan Immortal Gate suddenly attacked, messing up his plan.

"Mu Qingjia, what do you think?"

The new emperor looked at Li Mu.

I don't know why, at this time, he especially wants to listen to Li Mu's suggestion.

Li Mu arched his hand and said, "Fight." ”

Two words, simple and direct.

"Oh?" the new emperor's eyebrows condensed slightly, and said, "Tell me the reason." ”

Li Mu said calmly: "Your Majesty's new treasure, the government needs to recuperate, this is right, your lord's suggestion is very reasonable, but the problem is that in this fairy world, the weak eat the strong, peace is never compromised, a concession, in exchange for the enemy's marrow and inch, just like constantly cutting your own flesh to feed the enemy, the final outcome is that the enemy has not eaten enough, he has already lost too much blood and fell. ”

"Well, you go on. ”

The new emperor nodded slightly, obviously agreeing with Li Mu's statement.

When the ministers heard that Li Mu also agreed with their opinions, they did not stand up against them.

Li Mu continued: "The minister thinks that if Your Majesty wants to get a period of time for stable development, he must use strong iron-blooded means to seize it, even if it is to pay some price, he must beat the Dongxuan Immortal Gate to the fear and pain, and let them retreat in the face of difficulties, so that they can get time to recuperate." ”

When the new emperor heard this, his eyes flashed brightly.

Mu Qing is reasonable. He laughed.

As soon as the others heard it, they knew that His Majesty had made up his mind.

Then there's another problem.

How to fight?

At this time, who dares to take command of the expedition?

Opponent, but Dongxuan Immortal Gate.

Li Mu took two steps forward directly and took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share your worries for Your Majesty, go to the west, and attack the Eastern Xuanxian Gate." ”

The new emperor is overjoyed.

What is called loyalty?

This is the loyal minister.

It's not just lip service.

Dare to really do it.

Let's not talk about the result, on this responsibility, the cultural relics of the Manchu Dynasty, who can compare?

Some other ministers also changed their eyes when they looked at Li Mu.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, although this 'outsider' is not familiar with the world, but for the Huangji Cliff, he is still really loyal, he stubbornly scolded Wei Ruhu that day, defended the dignity of the dynasty and the new emperor, neither humble nor arrogant, and now at the moment of crisis, he is not just talking eloquently, but is more willing to come forward.

This courage is worthy of respect.

He is indeed a loyal servant.
