Borshu and Mu Hehua bowed to the ground facing the main seat, not daring to move, and sweat soon soaked through their robes.

The wide lobby could be heard of needles falling, and the dull atmosphere was quiet for a long time, and the pressure felt by Borshu and Mu Hehua became heavier and heavier, and by the end, even the rhythm of their breathing was out of control.

But they didn't dare to take the initiative, not even to look up at the main seat.

Tian Yuan Khan is on the main seat.

To be precise, it was Tian Yuan Khan's qi machine on the main seat, whether he himself was here or not, Borshu and Mu Hehua couldn't tell.

Since Tianyuan Khan achieved the realm of heaven and man, he has become as unfathomable as an immortal, and no one knows where he is.

But even a qi machine was enough to make Borshu feel the power of Mount Tai, as if the qi machine on the main seat only changed slightly, and he would be crushed on the spot!

King Zuoxian, who commanded an army of two or three hundred thousand and had great achievements, could only stare at the carpet now, watching his sweat accumulate in front of him drop by drop.

I don't know how long it took, Borshu finally heard a majestic voice from the main seat, this voice was familiar to him, but at this moment, it made him tremble in his heart when he was extremely nervous:

"Borshu, what are you guilty of?"

Borshu hurriedly touched the ground with his head, "The minister has insulted the majesty of the Great Khan, and the crime deserves death!"

"Good!"

As a good word fell, in the originally calm lobby, suddenly there seemed to be a real Mount Tai pressed down, and in the roar of the dragon, the ground under Borshu's body dropped three feet sharply, and the smoke and dust rose in the clouds, and all the furnishings in the room turned into powder!

Borshu, who was already kneeling, half of his body sank deep into the ground, and his whole body was wrapped in a cloud of purple electricity, purple lightning was like a whip, and between breaths, he had been whipped hundreds of times.

When Mu Hehua turned his head to look, Borshu's figure became hazy and blurry, constantly distorting and changing, sometimes short and fat, sometimes thin, indescribably hideous and terrifying, as if he was no longer a human but a strange beast.

He could see that the other party was wailing in pain, but he couldn't hear the slightest sound from the other party.

"Mu Hehua. ”

At this moment, Mu Hehua heard the voice from the main seat sound again.

He was a clever man: "The Great Khan forgives sins!"

"Gather a large army and prepare for a general attack on Yunzhou. ”

"Command!"

After saying this, Mu Hehua never heard the voice of Tianyuan Khan again.

After a long time, when he raised his head and tentatively looked at the main seat because he no longer felt the opportunity of Tianyuan Khan, he found that there was no shadow of Tianyuan Khan there.

Mu Hehua was like a person who was about to drown in the mud, almost paralyzed and sitting on the ground, panting for breath.

He knew that the Tianyuan Khan was gone.

From beginning to end, Tian Yuan Khan did not say a word, did not ask about the details of the battle, did not ask about the specific reasons for the defeat, did not ask about the response strategy after the battle, and only left an order to prepare for a general attack.

But Mu Hehua knew that when he saw Tianyuan Khan next time, or felt Tianyuan Khan's qi again, that would be when the army crossed the river to fight!

Under the circumstance that Xihe City has been recaptured by the Yunzhou army, and the other party is bound to be on guard day and night, the Beihu army, which is not proficient in water warfare, even if it captures hundreds of warships of the other side, it is extremely difficult to land smoothly under the interception of the other party.

But since Tianyuan Khan has issued this order, it means that the other party will clear the way for the army!

Or even open the situation.

Before leaving the lobby to arrange the military, Mu Hehua took one last look at the Borshu wrapped in a huge purple electric magic ball.

He can understand the pain of the other party.

That must be a more unbearable taste than Ling Chi.

But he also understands that the other party will not die. It's just that how long this pain will last, and how long the other party can hold on to this pain without collapsing, is not something that Mu Hehua can predict.

......

West River City.

Without waiting for Wei Wuxian to say anything more, Zhao Ning, who was standing in front of the door and looking at the distant sky, turned back to him and said, "The military affairs of Xihe City will be handed over to you, and I have to go back to Yunzhou City." ”

This decision was not what Wei Wuxian expected, but he didn't ask too much.

Xihe City is not far from Yunzhou City, and for Zhao Ning in the middle of Wang Ji Realm, the exchange is just a matter of time.

Even if the next big war will take place in Xihe City, the transfer of reinforcements and grain and baggage needs to start from Yunzhou, and because of the decay and darkness of the Thorn History Mansion in Yunzhou, there are still many problems that Zhao Ning needs to solve.

But just because Wei Wuxian didn't ask this question didn't mean he was fine.

"If the Borshu is defeated, the Tian Yuan Khan will immediately take action, you are alone outside, and there is no other Wang Ji Realm around you to echo, once the Tian Yuan Khan wants to be unfavorable to you, wouldn't you be extremely dangerous?" Wei Wuxian asked worriedly.

Zhao Ning: "Do you think Tianyuan Khan will do something to me?"

Wei Wuxian asked rhetorically, of course, "How could it not?"

"Not to mention that you are one of the few in the middle of the Wang Extreme Realm in Great Qi, and you have assassination value in itself, let's just say that from the battle of Fengming Mountain to the present, the casualties you have caused to the Beihu army and the obstacles to the Beihu plan have been very great.

"In the eyes of Tianyuan Khan, it's not too much for you to be afraid of dying ten times. What's more, you are now in charge of Yunzhou, which is a stumbling block in front of the Beihu army, without you, the next battle of the Beihu army will be much smoother. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Wuxian's face was solemn: "If I were Tianyuan Khan, I would definitely kill you if I could kill you." ”

Zhao Ning knew that Wei Wuxian was worried about his safety, but he had already made his own judgment, so there was no pressure in his heart:

"I have some weight, but not that heavy. If there is a possibility that I will be assassinated, then all the Wang Extreme Realm cultivators who remain in Xihe City, including you, are likely to be targeted.

"So far, Tian Yuan Khan has not made a move, and later it will be the first time he has shown his unparalleled cultivation in the realm of heaven and man in front of the world, so he must have a target that suits his style and can have a fundamental impact on the national war. ”

Hearing this, Wei Wuxian had already understood what Zhao Ning meant, and his face couldn't help but change.

As soon as he wanted to speak, Zhao Ning had already waved his hand to stop it, and diverted the conversation: "After I leave, you have to build more military camps outside the city, at least two empty ones and use one, and there can't be too many soldiers stationed in the city." ”

This sentence confused Wei Wuxian:

"Didn't you say that Tian Yuan Khan would choose a target that suited his style, in that case, how could he do anything to the soldiers of the three armies? Under normal circumstances, Wang Jijing would not do such a thing. ”

Zhao Ning's arrangement was clearly on guard, and Tianyuan Khan used his supreme cultivation to indiscriminately slaughter the soldiers in Xihe City and the barracks.

Zhao Ning shook his head: "Wang Jijing will not slaughter ordinary soldiers, on the one hand, because they have opponents who are also Wang Jijing, on the other hand, if there is no opponent in the same realm, they only need to kill the main general and seize the handsome banner, and they can achieve similar goals." is proud of his identity, but because the situation has not forced him to that role. ”

Wei Wuxian was surprised: "Could it be that there is anyone else who can force the Tianyuan Khan to surrender his identity?"

"Not really. ”

"Then why ......"

"Just be prepared. ”

Seeing Zhao Ning walking out of the door and about to leave Xihe City, Wei Wuxian, who still had doubts in his heart, couldn't help but take two steps forward and said in a deep voice: "If Tianyuan Khan is about to make a move, and he is not coming to Yunzhou to deal with you, then it doesn't seem to be the most appropriate choice for you to return to Yunzhou City at this time." ”

Zhao Ning stopped, stood under the eaves, and stood side by side with Wei Wuxian: "Do you think I should deal with Tianyuan Khan?"

Wei Wuxian said: "I know that this is difficult for some strong people, but you are the top combat power of Daqi, and the left and right virtuous kings of Beihu are all defeated under you, with your current strength, I am afraid that even the old men of the imperial family will not be able to reach it."

"You and I are both disciples of the Great Qi Generals, born to be bloody for the safety of the dynasty, not avoiding strong enemies and not afraid of death, which is the proper meaning of protecting the family and defending the country!

"Brother Ning, I know that it is extremely dangerous to face Tianyuan Khan, but the situation of the national war is critical, and we have finally spelled out a ray of light, giving the people of the world hope to defeat a strong enemy, so we must not sit back and watch this ray of light disappear!

"In order to keep this glimmer of hope, even if my realm is insufficient, I am willing to go to the battlefield with you and fight with Tianyuan Khan to the end!

Zhao Ning looked at his brother's iron-like firm and resolute eyes, and felt it very clearly that the other party did not hesitate to bury his bones in the battlefield with horse leather, but also to protect the country's and people's manliness.

"Defend West River City, it's more important than anything else to us right now. Zhao Ning patted Wei Wuxian on the shoulder, but in the end, he didn't say much, turned around and left Xihe City.

Wei Wuxian's words were right.

But Zhao Ning had another thought: if he had to do everything with Wei Wuxian in this national war, then why was the imperial family an imperial family?

This is Zhao Ning's heart, and the reason why he didn't say it was because he was suspected of shirking responsibility.

In such a difficult situation of the national war, the accounts should not be so clear, for those soldiers who died on the battlefield, they have lost everything, so the living should also fight desperately.

However, the truth is the truth that Zhao Ning thinks.

Zhao Ning, who had experience in his previous life, understood that in order to win this national war, it was not enough to rely on him and Wei Wuxian, and just a few generals, and they couldn't carry everything on their shoulders.

That's not the right way to do great things, let alone the right way to seek the country.

Zhao Ning knows very well that this national war will not end in a short time.

In order to achieve the final victory in a long-term all-out war, it is not only necessary for the fierce and enthusiastic men to fight for their lives, or rush to the battlefield or destroy their homes to relieve the suffering, but also for those officials and magnates who were originally in a vegetarian position and full of brains, in order to protect their existing wealth and glory, to play their due role.

If the latter are not voluntary, then it is up to the situation to force them.

It was another twilight hour, and Wei Wuxian looked at Zhao Ning's back as he flew away, and in the last rays of the sunset, he plunged into the endless night, his heart surging.

He had a lot to say, but he felt like a boulder and couldn't say anything.

The battle of Xihe City, fought for Daqi, after all, was only a ray of light.

In the endless darkness of the night, this ray of light is so weak.

In order for this light to bloom like the sun under the boundless sky and dispel all the darkness of the deep night, it will take a long journey and countless blood, and countless dangers must be overcome.

Wei Wuxian unconsciously clenched his fists.

There has never been a moment when he hates Gao Furui and Chen Jinghe so much as he does now.

I can't eat its flesh and sleep its skin!
