Ye Han walked to the door of the cave with the rabbit's ears in a trance, and then entered the cave, and saw a dazzling array of books, he came back to his senses.

Witnessing that level of existence made his mood calm for a long time, and in the face of that kind of power, he deeply realized his insignificance.

At the same time, he was even more curious about the identity of the senior in the valley, this senior and that great power were definitely the same level of existence, otherwise it would be impossible to attract that great power.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't let you go to the forbidden land to the north?"

At this moment, the senior's voice sounded, and Ye Han clearly felt that there was a slight weakness in the senior's voice.

"Senpai, he's..."

Ye Han didn't expect that he would unknowingly run to the forbidden place in the north of the valley, but he was more curious about the man in fancy clothes, so he subconsciously asked.

"You don't need to know now, it's not good for you to know. The senior said slowly: "When you reach a sufficient height, you will naturally know what you should know." ”

Ye Han nodded, his eyes gradually became firm, seeing that level of horror, his heart was greatly impacted, and he felt how stupid he was to be so proud of a small achievement in the past.

felt that the military cultivation method could make him become a strong man at a very fast speed, so he neglected his foundation, no wonder when he decided to take the military route, the uncle and they were all with disappointed expressions...

Being able to see a man in a fancy costume, Ye Han felt that it was his luck, and he would undoubtedly motivate himself to practice hard.

"I also have to work hard, and I can't be careless just because I have stigma!"

With such a thought in his mind, Ye Han was about to start practicing, but-

Gollum...

The stomach protested again, Ye Han touched his stomach in embarrassment, completely forgetting that he went out to catch the rabbit to eat, and also forgot that the rabbit was still in his hands...

So he hurriedly began to do it, and the techniques he learned in the years of the army came in handy at this time, using skillful means to disembowel the rabbit, and then roasting the rabbit with source power, the fragrance overflowed, and it filled the cave.

The meat of the rabbit that became a demon beast was even more delicious, and the energy filled by the demon beast was enough to ensure that Ye Han did not have to eat for a few days and focused on cultivation.

And this rabbit is not small, enough to ensure that he does not have to eat for half a month.

During the period of eating rabbit meat, Ye Han went out to cut a relatively thick branch, and then made several bamboo tubes, filled them with water before returning to the cave again, because he was really thirsty just eating meat.

After eating and drinking, Ye Han began to practice.

Imperial capital, military headquarters.

Wang Huizhi, the head of the military department, looked at the holy edict that had just been issued from the palace, his eyes were extremely complicated, and his fingertips kept tapping on the table until he stopped.

He pressed the teleporter on the table, "Zhongli is still in the imperial capital, right? Let him come to me immediately." ”

After about an hour of waiting, a man in a black military uniform walked into the office.

As soon as the man entered the door, the strong smell of alcohol filled the entire office, which made Wang Huizhi's eyebrows wrinkle instantly.

The man's face was a little flushed from drinking too much wine, although he was wearing a military uniform, his momentum was a little sluggish, and his hair was messy, his beard was scumbag, and he didn't look like a soldier at all!

"Zhongli, is this how you came to see me?"

Zhong left his mouth to speak, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Minister, you asked me to come over immediately, I don't have time to clean up myself." ”

"How long have you been in the tavern since you came to the imperial capital?" Wang Huizhi reprimanded: "Do you still have the appearance of a soldier? Don't you feel ashamed?!"

Zhongli was silent for a while, and instead of answering Wang Huizhi directly, he looked at him: "Minister, you summoned me at this time, is it the will of the palace?"

Wang Huizhi nodded, Zhongli's expression instantly became excited, and his face flushed even more: "Minister, what is Your Majesty's will?"

Wang Huizhi looked at Zhongli's expression, sighed in his heart, and then watched Zhongli slowly speak: "From now on, the establishment of the Tenglong Legion will be cancelled, and the existing Tenglong Legion personnel will be added to the rest of the ace legions..."

"This is Your Majesty's will. ”

Hearing Wang Huizhi's words, Zhongli's face instantly became stiff, his breathing became heavy, and his eyes turned red!

He rushed to Wang Huizhi's desk and slapped the table fiercely: "Why should the establishment of the Tenglong Legion be cancelled? The Tenglong Legion has made great contributions to the empire since its inception, and now it has to be canceled because of the defeat of the Northwest Incident?"

Wang Huizhi did not reprimand Zhongli's rude behavior, because he knew how Zhongli felt now, as the current commander of the Tenglong Legion, he had been in charge of the Tenglong Legion for nearly fifty years, and it was normal to have such feelings.

Wang Huizhi looked at the excited Zhongli and said slowly: "The Tenglong Legion is one of the ace troops of the empire, but more than half of the losses in the Northwest Incident, and two-thirds of the high-level troops were killed, which is no longer enough for the standard of the ace troops..."

"There are not enough personnel to recruit, why do you want to cancel the establishment?!" Zhongli roared.

Wang Huizhi said calmly: "As the commander of the legion, you should understand how high the standard of the ace army is, and if you lose so much at once, how long do you think it will take to make it back?"

"It's not just the quantity, it's the quality. Wang Huizhi said: "The soldiers of every ace legion are iron-blooded men who have experienced a hundred battles, how long does it take to train so many soldiers?"

"You know all this!"

Zhongli's eyes were scarlet, he knew that what Wang Huizhi said was the truth, but he couldn't accept it!

"Your Majesty served in the Dragon Legion when he was still the crown prince, and I don't believe he will revoke the establishment of the Dragon Legion!"

"It must be the people in the cabinet who are doing it!" Zhongli said through gritted teeth, "The Northwest Incident is fundamental..."

"Shut up!"

Wang Huizhi's expression turned cold, and he slapped the table fiercely: "Zhongli, as an imperial general, don't talk about it!"

Zhongli stared at Wang Huizhi's eyes: "Do you know anything?"

Wang Huizhi said in a cold voice: "Zhongli, you are drunk. ”

"I didn't!" Zhongli said in a deep voice, "I'm more awake than anyone else now!"

Zhongli continued: "Li Jian is dead, Bai Hui is dead, Ruoyu is dead... They are all dead, they died in the northwest, and now even Ye Han is dead, saying that Ye Han committed suicide? It's ridiculous, no one forced him, he will jump off the Enlightenment Cliff by himself?"

"No one has set up a tablet for them, no one has avenged them, nearly 10,000 lonely souls and wild ghosts are floating in the Northwest Congyun Mountains, but the empire wants to revoke the dragon formation and erase the traces of their existence?!"

"Calm down. Wang Huizhi said.

Zhongli looked at Wang Huizhi: "I don't know what kind of arrangement was given to me after the withdrawal of the Tenglong Legion, and I don't want to know..."

"Minister, I'm retiring. ”

Wang Huizhi's eyes widened slightly, and he looked at Zhongli in disbelief: "You have been in the army for nearly a hundred years and have a deep affection for the imperial army, can you let go?"

Zhongli lowered his head slightly, with a painful expression in his eyes, and when the color of pain slowly subsided, he looked at Wang Huizhi with calm eyes: "I have made up my mind." ”

Wang Huizhi sighed and said leisurely: "You will always be the pillar of the empire. ”

Zhongli didn't say a word, reached out and took off the armband and epaulettes on his military uniform, put them on Wang Huizhi's table, and then turned to leave.

Wang Huizhi looked at the back of the general's departure, and his eyes gradually became deep-

"The affairs of the empire, how can it be so simple?"

······

"General Zhongli would retire, and the cabinet would agree to the retirement of such a battle-hardened general?"

"What's so strange about this, even the Tenglong Legion, the ace legion that has existed in the empire for more than a hundred years, has been withdrawn, and it is normal for General Zhongli to retire. ”

"I heard that because of the Northwest Incident, General Zhongli took the blame and resigned. ”

"It's just a defeat, and the Dragon Legion hasn't lost before, so why did it withdraw this time, it's too strange. ”

"It is said that this defeat has affected the layout of the empire, and I don't know if it's true or not..."

"Who knows, we Shengdou people just need to do our own thing. ”

After today's court meeting, the content of the court meeting was spread throughout the imperial capital, and for ordinary people, it was no longer discussed after they were interested at the beginning, after all, this kind of thing was too far away from them, but it was different for people in specific positions.

"The Tenglong Legion is withdrawn, Zhongli is retired, the distribution of forces in the military will change, and there may be a new reshuffle. ”

"Zhongli is one of Wang Huizhi's right-hand men, and the withdrawal of the Tenglong Legion will have a great impact on this Wuwei King, and the power of the Wang family in the court will inevitably be weakened. ”

"That's natural, King Wuwei is too favored, and he has deep strength in the imperial military, which naturally caused some people's jealousy and dissatisfaction, maybe this time he deliberately targeted King Wuwei. ”

"In this struggle, my Ji family first watched from the wall. ”

······

"Deserve it, Wang Huizhi's power was damaged, it is a great thing for my Li family, my Li family tried to enter the military, but was rejected by Wang Hui, and now the Tenglong Legion has been withdrawn, those few are interested in targeting Wang Huizhi, this is a good time for the Wang family, my Li family must seize this opportunity!"

"One day in the future, my Li family must become the first family of the empire!"

The pattern of the empire is changing.
