Chapter 536: Consolidating Cultivation

After those generals expressed their positions, Zhao Wu first asked the generals to be quiet, and then focused on talking to Bai Shuilian about some arrangements after he led his troops away. For example, what to do if the Lai army does not withdraw at that time, or what to do if the operation in Lai fails in the country, in all aspects, almost every possible way to deal with it was said very clearly by Zhao Wu, and finally Zhao Wu focused on what happened after the withdrawal of the Lai army.

According to Zhao Wu's opinion, once the Lai army leaves, the Mongolian army will not stay, but the Lai army can easily leave the night country, but the Mongolian army may not, Zhao Wu specially explained to Bai Shuilian, once the Lai army leaves the territory of the night country, where can the night army set up ambushes to attack the Mongolian army. It is just right to use the strength of the Lei army to reduce the strength of the Mongolian army, which can be said to be nine out of ten.

Zhao Wu's follow-up plan also surprised Bai Shuilian and the other generals, for them, Zhao Wu's idea was too advanced for them to think of.

In any case, once Zhao Wu's overall plan was successfully implemented, it would not only relieve the siege of Yedu, but also reduce or even eliminate the strength of the Mongol army, killing two birds with one stone.

It is worth mentioning that from the beginning to the end of this negotiation, Zhao Wu did not mention the dispatch of reinforcements from the Snow Country, as if he did not take into account the army of the Snow Country and the Night Country at all. For the generals, this was a puzzle for them, so in the end, Bai Shuilian still raised the question.

In this regard, Zhao Wu's answer is extremely simple and meaningful, Zhao Wu means that maybe the Snow Country will be the last retreat of their Night Country, so they must ensure the strength of the troops in the Snow Country, and not let the Wing Country take advantage of it, in addition, not long after receiving the news that a former army of the Night Army was attacked by the Wing Country, Zhao Wu knew that the Wing Country would not give up, so he didn't want to let the Wing Country know the current situation of the Night Country because of the transfer of the Night Army.

At the same time, the Night Nation army stationed at Beast Ridge Pass. A day ago, Zhao Xu received an encrypted urgent mail from the Night Country. The main content of the letter is that they are trapped at night, and there are not enough troops in the country to forcibly relieve the crisis. The letter clearly pointed out that the situation was serious, but there was no mention of asking for help, which made Zhao Xu and the generals very puzzled.

The letter was written by Zhao Wu, if the information is correct, then the night will be trapped, and all the command power of the night army will fall into the hands of Zhao Wu, and Zhao Wu can completely transfer troops from the Snow Country, but Zhao Wu only explained in the letter that he must guard the Snow Country. In the case that Zhao Wu did not say what was going on, Zhao Xu could only discuss with the general.

After some discussion, Zhao Xu and the generals realized that Zhao Wu did not intend to ask them for help, and now the tens of thousands of troops of the Wing Country were eyeing not far away, not knowing when they would attack, and they would transfer troops back from the Snow Country might attract obstruction from the Wing Army, not to mention that the main force of the Night Army was on the eastern border of the Snow Country, which was far away from the Night Capital, and unless they sent cavalry back, they would not even have time to hurry.

Because Zhao Wu specifically explained in the letter that the situation in Yedu could not be spread to the outside world, now only Zhao Xu and some high-status generals in the army knew about it, and the ordinary soldiers below naturally could not know about it. The army in Windy City had no way of knowing, not even the Right Xiang and Lan Feng brothers and sisters in Zephyr City.

The news that the night is trapped will be suppressed until the crisis is resolved, or the night is extinguished. Being on the border of the Snow Country, Zhao Xu couldn't pay too much attention to the situation in Yedu, and at the moment he could only be prepared to deal with all unexpected situations at any time while stepping up military training.

The situation in the Night Country is a bit grim, but everything is still business as usual in the windless city, training when the troops should be trained in the barracks, and eating when they should eat, there is nothing abnormal.

In the past few days, Zhao Xu sent nine generals to take over the new army with Lin Xuanzhong. Because of Yu Tong's provocation, the nine generals had a lot of suspicions against Lin Xuanzhong. Originally, it was the duty of every general to train the troops, but because Lin Xuanzhong was not in the army, they had to do a little more. Especially because they didn't know much about the situation in Windy City when they first came, and they couldn't get Lin Xuanzhong's help, they were all a little dissatisfied with Lin Xuanzhong.

It's just that like Yu Tong before, they can only say that Lin Xuanzhong is derelict in his duties and doesn't ask about the military, but even if they report the situation to Zhao Xu, based on the relationship between Lin Xuanzhong and Lan Feng, at most they will only criticize Lin Xuanzhong's improper behavior, which is not enough to demote Lin Xuanzhong, but Yu Tong provoked a group of generals to do it with the goal of demoting Lin Xuanzhong.

A few days after those generals came, Yu Tong had already said a lot of unfavorable things to Lin Xuanzhong, and Yu Tong's words and deeds made those generals feel that working with Lin Xuanzhong would make them lose their identity, especially among the ten soldiers, Lin Xuanzhong led the best one, and more than 3,000 people were all veterans of the night army without exception. Unlike other generals, who are all recruits, some units are not even up to the standard in number.

Thinking that Lin Xuanzhong was inferior to them in terms of qualifications and strength, even if Yu Tong didn't say it, those generals would not recognize Lin Xuanzhong. Recently, with the help of Yu Tong, several generals have been busy picking on Lin Xuanzhong's big mistake so that they can get the upper authorities to severely punish Lin Xuanzhong, but they haven't found a chance yet.

At the same time, in the Ling family's mansion, since the news spread that the head of the Ling family had forged Lin Xuanzhong's body, the clan was boiling, from the top of the Ling family to the servants with foreign surnames, all of them were talking about Lin Xuanzhong's affairs, from noon to night, those people had no intention of stopping.

Before nightfall, all the elders of the Ling family who were in the mansion and had not retreated were all summoned to the meeting hall by Ling Changsheng to discuss how to deal with the matter of the Ling family master using his private power to forge Lin Xuanzhong's body. This matter was very important, and after discussing it, the elders decided to directly ask the Supreme Elder above, because it would take a long time for all the elders of the Elder Hall to gather, and then they would not be able to remove the Ling family master from his position.

According to Ling Changsheng's meaning, the sooner the Ling family master is lowered, the better, so the only way is to find the Supreme Elder, as long as the Supreme Elder speaks, then this matter can be quickly resolved according to Ling Changsheng's intentions, of course, at least after Lin Xuanzhong and Ling Zihao compete the day after tomorrow.

For Ling Changsheng, the top priority is to manage Ling Zihao's advancement, and the second is to host a grand event and notify the major families in the Winless City to come and congratulate. There is a tradition in Winless City that when an outstanding child of a clan becomes a seventh-order martial cultivator, the clan can hold a celebration party for the clan, inviting people from outside to celebrate together. One is to celebrate the excellence of the clan, and the other is to show the strength of the family.

The Ling family has a great family in the windless city, and although it is in troubled times, the previous traditions still have to be passed on. Time was short, and Ling Changsheng planned to set the date of the celebration the day after tomorrow, that is, the day when Lin Xuanzhong and Ling Zihao competed. Therefore, when presiding over the advancement of Ling Zihao tomorrow, the Ling family will also send out invitations in the city.

The Ling family is already busy tonight, and the celebration needs to be prepared in advance, of course, these have nothing to do with Lin Xuanzhong. After practicing in the forbidden place for a long time, when I returned to my residence, I was tired and felt extremely happy.

Now that the attainments of the Eight Desolate Steps have finally matched their own realm, when practicing the Eight Desolate Steps, there is no longer the same discomfort as before, especially the original complex footwork can be easily displayed after a few attempts. That kind of progress is not only limited to the body method, but even makes Lin Xuanzhong have a lot of insights.

After practicing enough in four steps and eight wildernesses, five steps and eight wildernesses were then displayed, the feeling of coming and going freely and being unstoppable made Lin Xuanzhong extremely excited the more he practiced, and now the five steps and eight wildernesses are no longer Lin Xuanzhong's stunts, only they can be used at critical moments. After many exercises, everything got used to it.

It is worth mentioning that the feeling of pleasure when practicing the five steps and eight wilderness gave birth to the idea of practicing six steps and eight wilderness, but unfortunately after many attempts, the result was not satisfactory, and in the end Lin Xuanzhong could only continue to practice the five steps and eight wilderness. In one afternoon, he completely consolidated his footwork, and as long as he practiced diligently in the future, his footwork attainments would not fall, and Lin Xuanzhong still had enough confidence in his footwork.

Aside from the matter of cultivation, the Ling family is not stingy, although Lin Xuanzhong's refining caused many people in the Ling family to be dissatisfied, the Ling family still didn't say that they would not let the three of them eat in the mansion, but the three of them didn't feel as comfortable walking in the mansion as before, and they were looked down upon everywhere, as if they had done something immoral and caused them to suffer some losses, of course, the truth was not far behind.

If there were still people from the Ling family who could turn a blind eye to the three of them before, then now the situation of the three of them is undoubtedly to the point where everyone shouts and beats them, and the feeling of being looked at everywhere makes the three of them very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he was happy about the improvement of his strength, and Lin Xuanzhong didn't take the attitude of those people in his eyes at all.

It's just that Fang Qing and Ni Youbin walked in the Ling Mansion and cowered, for fear that if they accidentally had a dispute with the people of the Ling family, they would suffer less when the time came. In short, the two of them no longer showed the swaggering appearance they had when they walked in the Ling Mansion. The Ling family master lost power, and they naturally lost their support.

It is worth mentioning that because the two of them felt that it might be dangerous to live in the Ling Mansion, they also persuaded Lin Xuanzhong to move out of the Ling Mansion as soon as possible, in Fang Qing's words, even if they slept on the street, they were more at ease than living in the Ling Mansion. The reasons for the two were extremely sufficient, and Lin Xuanzhong, who was finally persuaded, really had the idea of leaving the Ling family.

It's a pity that Lin Xuanzhong can't leave, because the elders of the Ling family are about to remove the Ling family head from his position. Once the head of the Ling family completely loses power, Ling Ziyu will also be affected, and his status in the Ling family will definitely plummet in the future. When he learned that Ling Ziyu was the granddaughter of the head of the Ling family, Lin Xuanzhong was very surprised, he didn't expect that because of his own affairs, he would involve a woman who had a relationship with him.

After thinking about it, Lin Xuanzhong felt that he couldn't just leave no matter what, that is, he had already become a sixth-order martial cultivator as he wished. Therefore, Lin Xuanzhong had to think about a solution to the problem, and in the end, unsurprisingly, he found that the key place was still in the competition with Ling Zihao. If he can unexpectedly win against Ling Zihao, he may be able to change the views of some of the Ling family elders. After all, the matter had come to this point, and Lin Xuanzhong could not return the used medicinal materials to the Ling family.
