The team led by Zhao Lie was the one thousand Qi Realm cultivators that Zhao Ning had secretly gathered in Yanping City before and had trained for half a year.

It is not accurate to say that it is the Imperial Qi Realm, because the Imperial Qi Realm is only the minimum standard, and the officers above the head are all held by Yuan Shen Realm cultivators, with the Zhao clan as the backbone.

In the past year, Zhao Lie has successfully cultivated the improved version of "Qingyun Jue", and he is already a master in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, Zhao Ning After discussing with Zhao Xuanji, he asked him to be the leader of the cultivators who are equipped with the amethyst stone rune bow.

As the trump card force in Zhao Ning's hands, Zhao Lie's team did not swagger to appear at Yanmen Pass.

They went all the way to the north in concealment, out of the fortress, according to Zhao Ning's prior arrangement, under the care of Fan Yi and Su Yeqing, they arrived at the barren mountain that was not too far from Xiaoye.

The place where they hibernate was originally a lair of horse thieves, and after defeating that horse thief and detaining the living, Zhao Lie and the others had no shortage of food and drink.

When Zhao Ning led the team to leave the Dadan Royal Court, he let Yang Jiani and the others take the first step, and they met the master cultivators of the paradigm halfway, and rushed all the way to the place where Zhao Lie and the others were stationed.

Then, with their strong combat power, they quickly raided and swept away several groups of horse thieves within a radius of hundreds of miles, killing all the cultivators above the Imperial Qi Realm among the horse thieves, but leaving the others.

These two or three thousand ordinary horse thieves were left behind in order to coax them into attacking at night.

These things were all arranged by Zhao Ning before.

According to the situation that the Dadan Department was caught off guard by the Khitan Department and the Tianyuan Department in the previous life and quickly perished within a few months, Zhao Ning took into account the possibility that the Dadan Department had no knowledge of the war when he did not leave the Yanmen Pass.

Of course, it is better to be able to convince the Dadan Khan in the Dadan Royal Court, but if not, there must be corresponding arrangements to help them recognize the reality quickly.

Yesterday, Zhao Ning made arrangements for the B-word camp early, and also asked Su Yeqing to watch the herdsmen in the Xiaoye Department. After Zhao Lie and the others converged with the masters of Paradigm and Yipinlou, they led the team to raid the Yizi Camp camp according to the plan.

It's a big show.

Although the fighting was fierce, both sides received orders not to hurt anyone.

The horse thieves also received strict orders that if they fell or were injured, they had to play dead on the spot and could not fight again. As for the soldiers of the B-word battalion, because they are disciplined and know a lot of things, they can act more realistically according to the situation.

Because among the people who played the attackers, the cultivators were all their own people, and Zhao Ning was not worried about the big casualties among the soldiers of the B-shaped battalion.

As for ordinary horse thieves, even if they are a little dazed and forget their orders in the fight, their combat effectiveness is limited.

Under the care of many masters on both sides, it is impossible for them to kill the soldiers of the B-word battalion in armor on a large scale. The fate of the red-eyed horse thief is to die in the next moment.

During the battle, the soldiers of the B-word battalion retreated and continued to fall in accordance with Zhao Ning's orders. They were all wearing armor and were stabbed a few times by horse thieves, but as long as they were not broken and not injured to the core, there would be no major problems.

After a battle, few people in the battalion were killed, only two or three hundred were wounded—injuries were inevitable, after all, the scene was chaotic; besides, there were not so many people injured, and the scene could not be realistic.

As for the wounded horse thieves, that's no less.

All in all, the fierce battle process was very short, the strength of the two sides was very different, the B-word camp was defeated quickly, and it was late at night, and Prince Dadan was not a battlefield veteran, and he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants on the spot, and he ran early, so he couldn't find the flaw.

It is possible to find the flaw, it is the guard of the Prince of Dadan who stayed behind after the break.

There is no shortage of masters, and there will definitely be shrewd people.

It's a pity that these people are destined to die here.

In addition to them, the ones who may leak the secret afterwards are the horse thieves who participated in this battle.

However, Zhao Ning only planned to use them this time, and he would not let any horse thief live. If they were good citizens, Zhao Ning might go to great lengths to give them a way out. But they weren't.

And then there are the ordinary herdsmen of the small leaf department next door, and there will be hidden dangers when they see the B-shaped camp leaving completely today. So since last night, Su Yeqing has sent people to watch them and didn't let them show their heads.

When the B battalion is gone, the small leaf department will be released.

"Look at the eyes of these horse thieves, they are all so blank and innocent, just like ordinary people who have been killed by them. Zhao Xun touched his chin and admired the bleak appearance of the horse thieves with high interest, and his face was full of enjoyment and sarcasm.

"Gloomy. Zhao Lie turned his head and spat out, very disdainful of Zhao Xun's style.

Without much delay, they took the horse thieves to a slightly remote place and threatened them to dig a pit. When it came, the cultivators brought by Zhao Lie did not torture them too much, and buried them on the spot after shooting.

Subsequently, the soldiers of the B-word battalion changed their clothes and returned to Yanmen Pass in the south.

Nominally, they were all killed, and they were no longer fit to appear in the field of vision of the Dadan.

As for Zhao Lie's team, they also quickly hid their tracks, but they would not return to Yanmen Pass.

......

The court of Dadan.

In front of the peaks and peaks of the felt tent, the tall prince Meng stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the rising red sun, his brows furrowed slightly, and his face was solemn.

"Brother don't worry too much, maybe Zhao Ning didn't have a very important reason for bypassing Stone City...... He is a person who often has some strange behaviors, and his mind is unpredictable. Xiao Yan walked up from behind.

Meng Chi did not speak.

The letter of state to Daqi has been delivered, and Song Zhi has also promised him to go to Yanping City to make amends, and everything is developing in the direction he wants.

But it was at this time that news came from Stone Town, and when they had already sent someone to contact Zhao Ning's team, hoping to meet the other party, the other party actually bypassed Stone City and accelerated towards the Khitan hinterland.

This abnormal behavior suddenly made Meng Chi smell danger.

If it was a weekday, it was nothing, even if Zhao Ning ignored the Khitans, it would just be domineering and no one in sight. But now at this juncture, Meng Chi does not dare to take it lightly.

However, he won't mess around for this matter, "In response to the actions of that Zhao son, King Zuo Xian has already made a comprehensive response, there will be no accidents, I'm not very worried." ”

Speaking of this, he sneered, "As long as Zhao Beiwang and his wife don't leave Yanmen Pass, what can a teenage Zhao son do to make trouble? No matter how capable he is, he is just a milky kid after all."

"If that's the case, it's not that he's so capable, it's that I'm too incompetent to get the preparations in place.

"What I'm worried about now is this Southern Dynasty spy in the royal court. ”

Xiao Yan didn't speak, and when it came to this spy of the royal court, she was also as big as a fight.

Just as Meng Chi was about to turn around, on the horizon, in the bright morning light, a black dot suddenly appeared, and it quickly became larger.

The other party did not run on the ground, but flew at a low altitude!

This turned out to be a king's realm!

Xiao Yan's face changed, his eyes lit up, and a bad premonition rose in their hearts at the same time.

When Zhao Ning detoured to Stone City before, King Zuo Xian only sent a late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm to report the news overnight, but now, King Zuo Xian actually asked a strong man from the Wang Ji Realm to run errands!

This must be a very serious event!

The middle-aged Wang Extreme Realm cultivator quickly came to the royal court, changed from flying to flying on the ground, and went straight to Meng Chi, and said in a solemn voice after a simple salute: "Prince, something strange happened last night!"

"Zhao Ning's team galloped for two days and nights, and after arriving near the small leaves of the Cangshui River, without warning, all disappeared mysteriously overnight, and there was no trace of them again!

"We interrogated the herdsmen of Xiaoyebu, and were told by their leader that Zhao Ning's team was attacked by unknown people and horses in the middle of the night, and the battle was fierce!

"When it was daybreak, they went to check on the situation and never saw a single living person again!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yan's surprised mouth opened slightly, Meng Chi's face changed even more, and finally asked urgently: "Who attacked the Yanmen Army? On the grassland, who else dares to attack the Yanmen Army besides us?"

The middle-aged man shook his head with an ugly face, "We haven't found that group of people yet." ”

Xiao Yan chuckled in her heart, instinctively feeling bad.

She felt the aura of danger again, extremely dangerous. The most terrifying thing is that she can't fathom this danger. The other party is like a towering giant beast hidden in the darkness and opening its bloody mouth, powerful but mysterious.

She's about to be devoured, but there's nothing she can do!

It feels so familiar. When she was in Yanping City, when she commanded her subordinates to annex Yipinlou failed, and kept receiving reports of defeat from everywhere, this was how she felt!

She felt the fear again, and she couldn't help but shudder at the horror.

Meng Chi closed his eyes, breathed steadily, calmed down, and had a lot of thoughts for a while.

The only people who had reason and courage to attack the Yanmen army were them, but they didn't make a move. Then there is only one possibility for the identity of the person who did it to Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning himself.

In other words, it's the Yanmen Army!

Why did they do it?

Naturally, there is a plan.

What do the Yanmen Army want?

War!

According to Xiao Yan, the Jiangmen military of the Southern Dynasty, because there was no war, its status was not as good as day by day, and it was suppressed by the men.

So they want war!

So, what's their plan for this time?

The Yanmen army, which pretended to patrol the grassland, was attacked and killed and the whole army was annihilated, and then the fault was planted on the Khitan tribe, thus provoking a war!

Is this plan likely to succeed?

If it's a normal time, maybe not.

The Khitan Khan only needed to go south to Yanping City, and it was possible to clarify the problem.

But what about now?

The answer is yes.

Because war is about to break out in the steppe!

The Khitan Department and the Tianyuan Department are about to attack the Dadan Department, and no matter what the attitude of the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty and the Yanmen Army is, any orders will not be terminated!

The relationship between the two sides, in the current situation, is about to turn from a vassal to a hostile one.

So the question is, why did the Yanmen army dare to do such a thing, were they not afraid that the Khitan Khan would go to Yanping City and explain the reason?

In order to avoid war, it is possible for the Southern Dynasty to speak for the Khitan Khan!

Unless...... The Yanmen army is absolutely sure that no matter whether the Khitan Khan goes to Yanping City or not, the grassland war will break out!

Why are they sure?

There is only one possibility.

The Yanmen Army has long been aware of the war arrangements of the Tianyuan Royal Court!

Meng Chi's heart skipped a beat.

Wrong, he was completely wrong before, he underestimated the Yanmen Army, and also underestimated Zhao Ning!

Zhao Ning took Prince Dadan to the Khitan Ministry, not to form an alliance with the Khitan Ministry, but to make this attack and kill!

The Dadan Ministry will immediately reorganize its armament for war, and their war plan to raid the Dadan Ministry has completely failed because of his miscalculation of Zhao Ning!

Meng Chi couldn't help but turn pale.

A more serious problem than this is already in front of him.

Tianyuan Royal Court, there really are spies of the Southern Dynasty!

They have been looking for so long and have not found each other, they have almost decided that this person is the cover that Zhao Ning used to confuse them, but the facts show that this spy exists!

If it weren't for this spy, how would the Zhao clan know about their war arrangement?

How many other confidential matters has been leaked by this spy?!

Meng Chi didn't dare to think about it.

He felt the fear.

At the same time, he was well aware that he could no longer cope with the current situation on his own.

"I'm going to see the Great Khan!"
