Chapter 557: The Gentleman's Game

Thousands of spirit boats fell to the ground, and one by one, the army began to arrange the troops, and after about a quarter of an hour, a square military formation was formed, densely packed, with flags in the sky, and there was no end in sight.

"Black and white impermanence, be vigilant in the sky!"

Li Tang ordered that at this time, it was the weakest stage of the army's defense and combat effectiveness, and in order to prevent the enemy from attacking, there must be peerless powerhouses to suppress the enemy's restless heart.

"Lord Hou, the enemy army has not moved, but there are many strong ones, at least a dozen martial saints, and there are no martial arts strong people!"

Bai Wuchang's mind swept away, and he secretly said to himself.

"Remain vigilant. ”

Li Tang frowned, there is no martial arts powerhouse?

What the hell are the forces in the middle continent doing, only shooting a dozen martial saints, isn't this sending them to death?

After all, now the power of the Tang Dynasty is already as strong as Wu Xian.

"I have heard the name of the Tang Hou Lord for a long time, and at a young age, he has laid a huge foundation, which can be said to be the power of one person to suppress the countries of the Eastern Continent, and he can't move!"

Shang Chang stood hundreds of miles away and said loudly, with a pair of sharp eyes, looking at Li Tang's face, he was amazed in his heart, this king of the Tang Kingdom is too young!

Being young means that the future is unlimited!

"This king tastes and reads history books, which record countless literati and scholars, with a scholarly literary atmosphere, can scold Fang Xuan, cast Ding Youjun, and say that the sky is falling wildly, and the fragrance is fragrant. ”

"At first, this king didn't believe it, but after seeing you, this king believed that the book described, with the spirit of a gentleman, out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons, can be called Mr."

"I don't know Mr.'s surname, can you tell me?"

Li Tang is also looking at Shangchang, he has a special momentum, although he is standing in the army, he is like a clear stream, very conspicuous.

If it was just like that, it wouldn't be strange, the important thing was that he used physiognomy and found many visions from Shang Chang that ordinary people couldn't see.

This seemingly sluggish and weak body, but it contains earth-shattering energy, the literati rule the country, the sages of heaven and earth, the teacher of all peoples, the dawn loves, swallowing the breath of ten thousand years, singing and dancing heroes.

"Shang Chang! from the Great Xia Empire!"

"It turned out to be Mr. Shang Chang, I don't know why the courtiers of the Great Xia Empire had something to do with the weak force of the Eagle Alliance?"

When Li Tang heard this, his eyes shrank, and before he came, he secretly guessed that the forces that supported the Eagle Alliance might be the Great Xia Empire.

But when Zheng'er Bajing heard the news, he still couldn't help but be shocked, to be honest, he didn't want to fight with the Great Xia Empire yet.

As the leader of the human race, it has been inherited for countless years, and its heritage and strength are not comparable to those of the Tang Dynasty.

"Lord Hou doesn't know, the Ten Countries of the Eagle Alliance are vassal states of the Great Xia Empire, and now that Emperor Xia has set up the Eastern Continent, he can't bear to see the Eagle Alliance and the Great Yuan Imperial Kingdom conquer each other, making the people suffer, so he specially sent me to mediate. ”

Shang Chang hugged his fists and said, his attitude was very sincere, which made the Eagle Alliance soldiers grateful, and their morale was instantly high, like a lion who woke up, showing his grandeur.

In a few words, mobilizing the morale of a million-strong army can be seen to be extraordinary.

"Emperor Xia has such intentions, why didn't he come to negotiate in person, but instead sent Mr. Shang Chang to lead a million troops to attack Jialing Pass?

Li Tang said coldly, he didn't believe Shang Chang's words at all, but felt disgusted, not only to start a war, but also to position himself on the side of justice.

What's the difference between this and being a bitch and setting up an archway?

"Don't be angry, Emperor Xia did this because he was worried that the candidate would not agree, just in case, for the sake of the vitality of the dawn, Emperor Xia decided to follow the ancient duel method and have a game. ”

Shang Chang smiled, his eyes flashed, and he said the ultimate goal.

Don't look at the Great Xia Empire, it is the strongest force of the human race, only the demon race can match, but it is precisely because it is too strong that it is feared by countless forces, and every move will provoke the nerves of other forces.

For a long time, the Great Xia Empire rarely intervened in the struggle of continental forces, and once it intervened, it would not attack it in a group, but it would still encounter discord and vigilance.

Therefore, many plans are carried out in secret, and no one can catch the tail.

"Ancient duel, it seems that in Emperor Xia's heart, he has already eaten this king?" Li Tang heard this, thinking of the way of the ancient duel, and couldn't help but look weird.

In ancient times, due to frequent battles and countless casualties, in order to reduce casualties and create a stable environment for development, some ancestors and sages proposed the way of duel.

made a heavenly oath, and each side sent strong men and armies to conduct a life-and-death struggle in the specified area, which ended in the annihilation of one side or the admission of defeat.

The winning side gets the results of victory, while the losing side is not allowed to retaliate.

Generally speaking, the side that proposes a duel is the one who does not want to lose both sides and is sure of victory.

Emperor Xia proposed the ancient duel, not because he was sure of victory, but because he wanted to reduce the losses of the war, after all, the catastrophe was coming, and peace was the most important thing in everything. ”

"This is a gentleman's game, and my country's martial arts ancestor will not do it, so as to show the fairness of the game. ”

Shang Chang said, the elegant temperament, like a spring breeze, blows by, so that many soldiers are happy and convinced, blind worship.

"Hypocrisy!"

Black and white impermanence, Boya and the others said disdainfully in their hearts.

Not letting Wu Xian make a move, is it to show fairness? Nonsense, isn't it just cherishing wings and not wanting to fight with black and white impermanence.

"Okay, this king agrees, I don't know what this king can get if he wins?" Li Tang pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement.

He also didn't want to provoke deeper contradictions with the Great Xia Empire, and if he calculated carefully, there were not a few enemies in the Great Tang Kingdom.

First of all, the five clans of the Tianshan Mountains, who bore the brunt of the disaster, were almost served in a pot, and I don't know if the Lord of the Tianshan Mountains will retaliate.

Secondly, there is also the City God Temple, because of the fire, there is no war for the time being, but the death of the picket chief is there, a fierce battle, sooner or later.

In the end, it was in Hulan River City that he fought with the Canglan Sage, and the unknown details of the underworld, although they didn't know the depth of strength, they could have a relationship with the underworld, and they were not easy to mess with at first glance.

If you offend the Great Xia Empire again, then the life of the Great Tang Kingdom will be even more difficult!

"Refreshing, our majesty is not an unreasonable person, this monarch game, no matter whether it wins or loses, will not affect the relationship between the Tang Kingdom and the Great Xia Empire. ”

"Victory, the Eagle Alliance will be ruled by the Tang Kingdom from now on, and the lord will be able to rule more than 200,000 miles of territory without a single soldier. Defeated, the candidate withdraws from the foot of the Burial Dragon Mountain, and hands over the ruling power of the Burial Dragon City to the Great Xia Empire, how about it?"

Shang Chang said lightly, extremely calm, as if this game was buying and selling things on the street.

"With 200,000 miles of territory, and gambling with 10,000 miles of territory, Emperor Xia is worthy of the strongest king of the human race, and he is atmospheric enough!

Li Tang was taken aback, but the king's city mansion made him not change his face, and said calmly, and he also decided to play the game time.

No matter what, a dignified king must not be frightened by the courtiers of other countries!

"Okay, five days later, a hundred miles near Jialing Pass, for the game area, whoever can hold Jialing Pass for three days will be the winner. ”

After taking a deep look at Li Tang, Shang Chang turned around and left, leaving behind an emaciated back, a million-strong army, neat and orderly, retreating towards Jialing Pass.
