The original royal capital of the Shengke Kingdom has now been renamed the White Lion City, in a quiet mansion in the city, Shangyuan Zhenren looked at the clouds in the sky with his hands behind his back, and sighed faintly.

At this moment, a person from outside the courtyard chuckled: "Why did Shangyuan Zhenren sigh? ”

Shangyuan Zhenren turned his head to look at the gate, and after a while, the door opened, and now the beautiful White Lion Country Protector General Han Feng walked in.

Shangyuan Zhenren said lukewarmly: "General Hanfeng, the poor road is just a lost dog, why bother to laugh at it?" ”

Luo Han smiled and stood opposite Shangyuan Zhenren, and said: "The real person is joking, the real person is a famous disciple, and the Tao is all over the world, how can he be a lost dog?" ”

Shangyuan Zhenren laughed at himself: "Now that the Shengke Kingdom has been destroyed, Poor Dao, as the national teacher of the Shengke Kingdom, is not a lost dog?" You don't have to come to urge me, Poor Dao will pack up his things, and he will leave here in a few days and return to the master to cultivate again. ”

Luo Han shook his head and said: "The real person misunderstood, this general is not here to see the real person's jokes, but to tell the real person that the national teacher of his country, Lei Deng, intends to work with the real person and share the position of the national teacher." ”

Shangyuan Zhenren frowned, and said in disbelief: "Isn't the general here to deceive the poor?" How can there be a reason for one country to worship two national teachers? If Poor Dao and Thunderbolt Zhenren are in the same class, it would be fine, but Poor Dao and Thunderbolt Zhenren have nothing to do with each other, how can you work with him? ”

Luo Han said with a smile: "This country is not as good as other countries, although Your Majesty has moved the capital here, the original White Lion City is the ancestral land after all, and it cannot be abandoned." Raiden Zhenren has already agreed with His Majesty that if Zhenren is willing to serve as a national teacher and assist His Majesty, he will stay in the original White Lion City and echo each other. ”

Shangyuan Zhenren still didn't believe it: "Even if you want to stay, Raiden Zhenren should be by His Majesty's sideβ€”"

Luo Han interrupted Shangyuan Zhenren's words and said, "The real person has probably been in the Shengke Country for a long time, and he doesn't know the national conditions of the White Lion Country. For His Majesty, that is his foundation, and even if it is not as prosperous as here, the people there will never turn their backs on him. Therefore, His Majesty must leave the most trusted person to help him manage it, and if something happens here, he will have a foothold. ”

Shangyuan Zhenren was silent for a while, Luo Han's explanation made sense, big countries have the disadvantages of big countries, and small countries also have the advantages of small countries. To the people of the kingdom of Saint-Co, the king was nothing more than a large landowner who knew only how to levy taxes on them every day, and he probably did not see him several times a year. But for the citizens of small countries, because the place is small and the population is small, the king and the royal family will often appear in front of everyone, and there is a sense of closeness. This may be the reason why Luo Han was able to destroy the Shengke Kingdom, but he was unwilling to forcibly bring those small countries under his rule.

"Zhenren, I have come this time to inquire about your intentions for Your Majesty. If the real person is willing to serve as the national teacher, His Majesty will visit the real person with the most solemn etiquette. ”

Shangyuan Zhenren understood the meaning of this, the little king still wanted to save face, if he didn't mean that, the little king came to visit but returned in vain, it would be a little embarrassing, so he sent Luo Han to inquire about the intention in advance.

If the little king really rushed to ask him to be appointed as state teacher, he would have suspected that there was something wrong with it. At this time, Luo Han added: "Your Majesty is still young, and there are some things he still doesn't understand. But I know that the hundreds of thousands of people of this huge kingdom will definitely not be able to rely on the help of those saint Ke relics to govern it. For the sake of these hundreds of thousands of people, stay and help Your Majesty. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shangyuan Zhenren had steps. It doesn't matter if he really cares about the people, at least he has the righteousness to stay, and no one can slander him for serving the new king.

"Well, Poor Dao is willing to assist Your Majesty. But please look at the poor face and be kind to the royal family of Shengke. ”

Luo Han smiled and nodded: "This is natural." Except for the old king and several princes who led the army to resist, the rest of the royal family were sent to the original White Lion City for proper settlement. As long as they don't mess up, they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. If nothing else, I will take my leave, and tomorrow His Majesty will come to visit the real person in person. ”

"The general walks slowly."

Luo Han turned to leave, and when he closed the door, the corners of his mouth curved into crescents. Of course, leaving Shangyuan Zhenren is not the meaning of the little king, and with the ability of the little king, he will not think so far. This was entirely Luo Han's idea, and he persuaded the little king through Meng Fei.

Why do you want to keep Yuan Zhenren? It's actually very simple, as a shield.

The current identity of the storm squad is the demon clan, and since it is a demon clan, it has a demon spirit. No matter how much you cover it up in ordinary times, you will inevitably expose your energy attributes when you do it. It's okay if this is in a small country, but now the White Lion Country is a big country, maybe when a powerful monk will come and go, take a closer look, the national teacher is full of demons, is it not a good opportunity to subdue demons and eliminate demons? With Shangyuan Zhenren, a real monk, dealing with it here, no one would have thought that the other national teacher who was tied to him was the Demon Clan, and since it was three hundred miles away, no one would deliberately go to see it.

There was another purpose for letting Meng Fei stay in the original White Lion City, which was to build the Tower of Babel. The shape of the Babel Pagoda is obviously different from that of the pagoda, and there are some special treatments during the construction process, which are not suitable for construction under the noses of others. Especially Luo Han is the last stop of the Huaxia trial team, and more than a dozen Babel Towers have been repaired in front, if it is known that they are also cultivating this thing, wouldn't it be directly linked to the demon clan? Therefore, this tower must have cover, and can only be repaired quietly. The former White Lion City, far away from the royal capital, is the best choice.

The next day, Meng Fei Luohan accompanied the little king to visit Shangyuan Zhenren, and warmly invited Shangyuan Zhenren to serve as the right national teacher of the White Lion Kingdom, and Meng Fei served as the left national teacher to manage the Longxing Land of the White Lion Kingdom.

In this meeting, Meng Fei deliberately concealed his energy, and also brought a few real monk's magic weapons, and Shangyuan Zhenren did not find anything wrong with Meng Fei.

Soon after, Meng Fei and Luo Han led people out of the royal capital and returned to the original White Lion City. Also taken away were 10,000 young men requisitioned from the eight cities of the Saint Ke Kingdom. Luo Han will train them in the former White Lion City, and at the same time develop the wasteland and carry out tuntian.

Luo Han is not worried about the little king's side at all, the most direct means to control a country is to control his military. The troops left behind in the royal capital were all fought with Luo Han, and the current commander has long been subdued by Luo Han, and there are 10,000 new troops here, and no one dares to disadvantage Luo Han. As for the little king, he would be brainwashed in his dreams by boring nightmares every night, and there was absolutely no way to question Luo Han and Meng Fei's loyalty.

The dragon and the others became the disciples of the Thunderbolt National Master and assisted him in managing the original White Lion City, while Luo Han was training the new army and was not busy building the Tower of Babel.

Babel Tower is a kind of nine-storey building, take the extreme number of China, each floor is nine thousand high, a total of nine hundred and eighty-one thousand, the monk follows the ancient system, eighty-one thousand is one hundred and forty meters. With such a building height, if a straight tower is built, it is difficult to complete it with the craftsmanship of the seventh and eighth centuries, let alone in the Western Regions, where the technology is relatively backward. Therefore, the Tower of Babel is actually similar to a nine-layer cake, shrinking layer by layer, and only in this way can it be stacked to a high enough level. But in this way, a very large foundation is needed to support it, and the site selection must be very careful.

Half a year after entering the Journey to the West scene, Luo Han returned to the royal capital with a well-trained army of 10,000 and met the little king alone in the imperial study.

The little king has been living a good life recently, the White Lion Country is the dominant party in his generation, it is when he is in high spirits, and he has just married a few princesses, and he is proud of his life, and when he saw Luo Han, he happily hugged Luo Han first, and then said: "Aiqing trains the new army, what is the result?" ”

Luo Han said respectfully: "It's quite effective, if there is a war, it must be a tiger and wolf army." ”

"Aiqing is a widow, rest assured." The little king praised him, and suddenly changed his words and said, "The widow recently heard that the Garo Empire in the west has recently begun to recruit soldiers, and Aiqing thinks we should take some precautions?" ”

Luo Han was stunned, he really hadn't heard of the name of the Jia Luo Empire, and he didn't know what it was, but it could be called an empire, and he didn't think it would be a small country.

The little king pointed to a map on his desk and said, "As far as the widow knows, the Garo Empire is five thousand miles away from us, and the widow is not worried. It's just that there have been rumors recently that the Garo Empire has organized cavalry and intends to expedition to the east, and the White Lion Country is also on the way to the Garo Empire's expedition. ”

Luo Han looked at the map and frowned secretly, this map was the first time he had seen it, on this map, it contained all the great powers on the entire journey to the west, and the Jia Luo Empire was southward, and there were several vast empires, and the situation was completely different from that of the Huaxia Trial Team. This means that if there are really trialists from other countries, their tasks are likely to be completely different from those on Huaxia's side.

Luo Han put this aside for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, whether the rumors are true or not, a long-distance expedition is not an easy task, and the cavalry is not good at attacking cities, as long as we keep the door closed, even if the Gara Empire is coming, there is no need to worry. If the Gara Empire is really arrogant and comes to attack the city, this general will definitely let them have no return. ”

The little king nodded: "With Aiqing's words, the widow will be relieved." Aiqing has trained hard, and the widow has already arranged the mansion in the city, so Aiqing will go over and rest for a few days. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Luo Han looked at the map, hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if this map can be brought back to Weichen to see?" ”

The little king didn't care, waved his hand and said, "Take it." ”

Luo Han carefully rolled up the map and retreated.

When he arrived at his mansion in the city, Luo Han put the map in the study, and thought about it while reading it.

I'm afraid that the rumors of the expedition are not groundless, if it is really as Luo Han expected, the trialists of other countries appear, then this so-called expedition is only for the Chinese trialists.

"Shadow, there's something you need to run, come over to me and get a map, go to the Garo Empire to inquire about the situation, and see if there are other trialists appearing."

After receiving the news from Luo Han through the team channel, Qi Tao immediately rushed to Luo Han's mansion, took a copy of the map, and left the White Lion Country.

Luo Han didn't have anything practical to do in the royal capital, so he went to visit the magnates in the royal capital one by one, and they were familiar. These people knew that Luo Han was now in control of the military, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they showed favor one after another.

A day later, Qi Tao arrived at the Garo Empire, and after preliminary inquiry, the news came back: the Garo Empire was indeed preparing for a cavalry expedition, but the purpose was not clear for the time being, and it was only speculated that it was to rob some treasure. At the same time, the Garo Empire openly recruited strange people to accompany the army on the expedition. The so-called strange people, as expected, should be trialists. And it is said that not only the Gara Empire, but other empires in the south are doing the same.

Qi Tao will continue to stay in the Garo Empire to find out further information. And Luo Han, who got the news, immediately sent someone to communicate with the other teams, because Luo Han realized that this could be a head-to-head confrontation between trialists from different countries.

The teams that got the news were alert, but now no one knew what the purpose of these empires and those foreign trialists was, so they could only continue to wait.

At this time, Shangyuan Zhenren, the right national teacher of the White Lion Country, met with the little king, and then the little king immediately summoned Luo Han.

Luo Han came to the palace, saw the little king and Shangyuan Zhenren sitting worriedly, doubted in his heart, bowed and asked, "I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon Weichen?" ”

The little king looked at Shangyuan Zhenren and motioned to Shangyuan Zhenren to say, Shangyuan Zhenren organized the language and said: "Poor Dao watched the sky at night, saw the stars rising in the southwest direction, and faintly had the image of a greedy wolf. The hexagram shows that an evil dragon will be born in the southwest and devour the dragon qi of other countries to strengthen itself. ”

The little king was a little impatient and said, "National teacher, let's talk about the point." ”

Shangyuan Zhenren nodded and said, "To put it simply, the empire in the southwest will invade to the east, and strengthen itself by plundering the luck of the countries it passes through some method. ”

Luo Han pondered and asked, "Then what will happen to the country that has been plundered of its luck?" ”

"The kingdom will not be a country, and the king will not be a king." Shang Yuan Zhenren spoke, and explained: "A country that has lost its luck will suffer a natural disaster, the people will be displaced, and the king will not be recognized by the people, and a new king will not appear until the luck gradually recovers." What's going on, the poor road is too shallow, and it is impossible to divination. ”

Luo Han thought of the task that they needed the king's heart, if "the king will not be the king", then their mission would be tantamount to failure, it seems that this is the focus of contention between the two sides. Luo Han suddenly had an idea, straightened up and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty and the National Teacher, but Fan Weichen still has a breath of air, and he will never let those empires succeed." Weichen went to arrange the defense, and asked His Majesty to inform Zuo Guoshi of the matter, maybe Zuo Guoshi would have a way. Also, the impact of this matter is not my country, and Weichen believes that the right national division can send envoys to various countries to persuade all countries to join forces. ”

The little king sighed and said, "There is Lao Aiqing, step down." ”

"Wechen retired."

Luo Han left the palace, informed Meng Fei through the team channel, and then said his thoughts, so he went to gather the army to start drilling, and at the same time sent scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and prepare for battle at any time.
