Gu Xiqian was able to point out the problem so quickly, Gu Hui was a little embarrassed. It was as if he was transparent now, and it was easy to see through it in front of Gu Xiqian.

However, Gu Xiqian had already asked, and he told him about his worries and embarrassments.

"So that's the case, anyway, recruiting useful talents is the most important thing, and as for the cancer in the court, it's better to take it slowly."

Gu Xiqian nodded, it was indeed her eagerness. However, these things must be planned well, and they cannot be done in one step.

"That's what I think, but even if we do all of the above, I'm afraid we won't be able to resist Lanling Kingdom in terms of strength! Shen Mengxian attacked so many tribes that he didn't rely on some time ago, I'm afraid his strength has grown a lot......"

Gu Xiqian's previous suggestions, Gu Hui felt that there was no problem. His biggest concern was that the resources available to the South Vietnamese State were already here. Even if you use all of them, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the opponent of Lanling Kingdom.

"This ...... Your concerns are not unfounded. However, you reminded me that if it is difficult for us to fight one-on-one with Shen Mengxian, it is better to unite with neighboring countries and let them cooperate with us to fight against Shen Mengxian together. ”

Gu Xiqian also felt embarrassed, they all knew very well the strength of the Lanling Kingdom, and it was indeed unrealistic to rely on one country to confront it. The only way Gu Xiqian could think of was to unite with the surrounding countries and enhance the strength of their side.

"Just do as you say, and I'll send someone to negotiate with the neighboring countries as soon as possible. Try to get them to agree to cooperate with us and get results in a short time. ”

Gu Hui's eyes lit up, he didn't think about this, but he didn't dare to try. He is an emperor who has just ascended the throne, and now that Nanyue is facing such a critical situation, what he is most afraid of is that others dare not cooperate with them.

But all of this, with the arrival of Gu Xiqian, Gu Hui has confidence. Gu Hui had to admit in his heart that Gu Xiqian's ability and courage in all aspects were much stronger than him.

In the next battle, the strength of the South Vietnamese State and the Lanling State was comparable, and the two sides basically fought a draw, and the losses were significantly smaller.

"No, the South Vietnamese Kingdom was obviously powerless to resist before. What's going on this time, the strength has risen so much in a short period of time. Or did I underestimate their strength from the start? ”

When Shen Mengxian got the news, his first reaction was not to be angry. Instead, he was very puzzled, and after the previous battle, he had already regarded the national rules of South Vietnam as his belonging. Now that it had suddenly become like this, he couldn't help but wonder if his previous judgment was correct?

"Back to the emperor, this subordinate doesn't know. But I can assure you that it is definitely not because of anything wrong with our soldiers, or because we didn't do our best......"

Shen Mengxian was unexpected, and he was not angry, which relieved the ministers who were sweating below. But Shen Mengxian is a kind of suspicious person, and he can't completely put his mind at ease, so he can only try his best to make Shen Mengxian believe them.

"I don't suspect you, I just wonder why the South Vietnamese Kingdom has changed so much in such a short period of time. Something must have happened in the middle, relying on that hairy boy tightly, and he doesn't have such a ability. ”

Shen Mengxian once ignored the ministers below in his own thoughts.

"Then Your Majesty, what should we do next? If you continue to fight, I'm afraid there will be no good! ”

The minister was completely relieved, but he was not given instructions for the next step, so he could only ask stubbornly.

"First hold the troops, stalemate. I think of another way, to break through from somewhere else. ”

It's all like this, and Shen Mengxian certainly can't be stupid enough to continue fighting. I can only stalemate with the South Vietnamese State first, and see if I can find a way from other places to enhance my strength and deal a fatal blow to the South Vietnamese State! As if he had received an amnesty, the minister hurriedly retreated.

"What do you want to do? I warn you, don't come? ”

Soon, the Hefeng clan was captured by Shen Mengxian from the back mountain, and the entire clan was surrounded.

They looked at this group of uninvited guests, and their hearts were panicked to the extreme, but they still had to hold on.

"You don't have to be so afraid, we have no ill will. As long as you obediently obey our arrangement, we will not harm your ......"

The leading soldier looked at them as if he were looking at a swarm of ants. If it weren't for Shen Mengxian's explanation, I'm afraid these people would have died under his knife.

"What do you want us to do?"

When the people of the Feng clan heard what they said, their eyes were full of vigilance, and they asked uncertainly.

"You don't need to know this for the time being, come on, take them all away!"

The leading soldier did not answer their questions directly, but directly ordered people to arrest everyone.

"Let us go, why take us away?"

“……”

The scene became chaotic for a while, and the people of the Feng clan struggled hard, trying to break free. However, he couldn't twist these five big and three rough soldiers, and in the end, he couldn't escape the fate of being captured.

"Now, you're all listening to me. The purpose of bringing you here is clear, as long as you work for us, we can keep you safe, otherwise ......"

Xiao Mian and Adu were also arrested along with the rest of the Feng Clan, and they were all locked up together. At first, no matter how noisy and noisy they were, no one paid attention to them.

Finally, someone came, and everyone looked at each other nervously.

After listening to what the other party said, with the people of the Feng clan, you take a look, I look at you, everyone discussed carefully.

"I think you've all figured it out, now make a statement, stand on one side if you're willing, and go to the other side if you're not!"

The voices faded and the people looked away again. The leading soldier nodded and let them make their own choice.

"You don't think about it, we can't be with you. You are robbers, bandits. Why did you arrest us here, and why should we listen to you, are we your slaves? ”

Xiao Mian was angry, stood up and scolded the leading soldiers, and didn't give the other party a face at all.

"You're looking for death, toast and don't eat and drink! Let me ask you again, do you say yes? ”

The leading soldier's face became fierce, and he walked towards Xiao Mian step by step, and asked through gritted teeth.

"If you don't agree, no matter how many times you ask, you won't agree. Even if I die, I can't die for you, you don't deserve it! ”

Xiao Mian was not afraid at all, and glared back viciously. Even if you choose to die, you can't obey their arrangement.

"Well, I'd like to see how hard your bones are. Don't you want to die, then I will fulfill you! ”

The leading soldier was completely enraged, and grabbed Xiao Mian's neck, wanting to put Xiao Mian to death.

"Stop, you can think clearly. If you kill her, the rest of us won't be able to take your orders. ”

Adu was anxious and hurriedly stood up to stop him. If it continues like this, Xiao Mian will soon be unable to support it.

After listening to Adu's words, the leader finally regained some of his senses, and suddenly let go of Xiao Mian, and then threw Xiao Mian on the ground.

"Xiaomian, how are you?"

Adu hurriedly ran over to check on Xiaomian's situation, the whole person was very anxious, and his eyes were full of distress.

Xiao Mian was speechless and shook her head weakly.

"You see, that's how it ended. If any of you haven't thought clearly, I can give you some time, think about it. Those who know the times are Junjie, don't let your choice lose your life! ”

The leading soldier glanced at the others, threw down a word of warning, and left with his own people.

"What can we do now, if we don't listen to them, they will definitely kill us. The people of Lanling Kingdom have always been murderous, and it seems that we can't escape this time......"

"Who's to say it isn't, but what can we do. They have always been overbearing, specializing in bullying people who are weaker than them, and this time they can only consider themselves unlucky when they are selected from us! ”

The others began to sigh, they finally recognized the reality. Now that they have been captured by Lanling Kingdom, I am afraid that there is no hope of returning alive.

"Don't panic, you can last one day. The arrest of our entire clan is bound to cause chaos. Trust me, someone will save us! ”

Adu didn't want them to lose faith at this time, and opened his mouth to comfort them. Although they are all dying now, he is always willing to believe that if Gu Xiqian learns the news, there is a great possibility that he will come to save them! So they must not give up until the last minute!

However, this is only his conjecture, and he can't be sure, so he can't tell them specifically.

As it turned out, he was not wrong in his conjecture. The news of the arrest of the Feng clan spread quickly, and all forces were brewing what to do next?

"I thought about it for a while, no matter what aspect we think about, we should rescue the Youfeng Clan. Although they are not strong, even very weak. But we can't ignore his availability, if Shen Mengxian has their help, it's like a tiger with wings, it will be even more difficult to deal with. ”

Gu Xiqian found Gu Hui and explained her point of view. The people of the Feng clan have always had a weak sense of existence, but they can't be ignored. They have a lot of unique things in their hands, and if they use them well, they can be of great help. The reason why Shen Mengxian attacked them was naturally because of this.

"I agree with what you said, Shen Mengxian will never attack them for no reason. And he didn't choose to kill them all, but to take them all away, what must he want them to do? At this time, our two armies are in a scorching moment, and once we succeed, we will definitely be the first to deal with it! ”
