"Your Majesty, there is indeed a connection between Weichen and the Lord of Shacheng, and Weichen does not deny this matter, nor will he deny it, but His Majesty said that there is collusion between Weichen and the Lord of Shacheng, and Weichen will never admit this matter, because Weichen will only contact the Lord of Shacheng in order to exterminate the Black Wind Thief and the Wind Thief, and it is not a collusion between the two as His Majesty thinks.

Your Majesty, it has only been less than half a year since Weichen became the chief soldier of Huangsha Town, and Huangsha Town is more than 2,000 miles away from Stormwind City, and the Sand City Lord was also very unfamiliar with Weichen before, how could Weichen collude with the Sand City Lord, please Your Majesty be clear!"

Lin Ze said without being arrogant or humble, with a look on his face I am a loyal minister, Your Majesty, you are deceived by the villain, and Emperor Yuanwu, who was sitting on the throne, felt depressed for a while.

"Hmph, aren't you wearing a pair of pants if you're not good with Stormwind City now, I heard that after you left, you directly handed over the guards of Black Sand City and Stormwind City to Stormwind City, and if you do this, doesn't it show your close relationship with Stormwind City?"

"Your Majesty has been wronged!" Lin Ze made a heart and shouted directly about his injustice.

He has made all the preparations, and the situation around the Yuantai Hall is also well understood, if he really wants to tear his face now, who is afraid of whom!

Besides, he really didn't believe that Emperor Yuanwu would tear his face right now, otherwise what would he do when he met him in the Yuantai Palace, obviously he needed to do it himself.

Moreover, Lin Ze also believed that Emperor Yuanwu would not dare to do anything to him now, not to mention anything else, if something happened to him here, he dared to say that the entire sandbar would immediately become a ranch for sand thieves, and those armies under Lin Ze, as well as the army of Stormwind City, would not listen to Emperor Yuanwu, at that time, they would definitely immediately enter the sandbar to threaten the state of Chu.

"Your Majesty, handing over Black Sand City and Wind City to Shatuo to guard, and I can't afford to humble myself. At this time, if there are other sand thieves attacking, the lowly Black Sand City and the Wind City will immediately fall into the hands of the sand thieves, in this case, there is no point in destroying the Black Wind Thieves and the Wind Thieves, so for the safety of the Black Sand City and the Wind City, the lowly can only temporarily hand them over to Shatuo to guard. Anyway, now that Stormwind and we are allies, I'm sure Stormwind won't be so short-sighted. ”

Lin Zejiu defended himself truthfully, in which Sha Tuo guarded Black Sand City, Blastwind City, and Lin Ze's army suffered heavy losses, and the other sand thieves' ideas in fighting Black Sand City and Windwind City were true, the only thing that was false was that in fact, the army of Stormwind City could be regarded as Lin Ze's army. (In the future, Lin Ze will marry Shaman, and Stormwind City will be Shaman's dowry, which Sha Ding has decided a long time ago!)

"Hmph, you admit it!" Emperor Yuanwu snorted, and his information was about the same.

The Black Wind Thief and the Wind Thief are not simple sand thieves, and the combined military strength of the two is 500,000, so it is indeed true that Lin Ze said that his army is now suffering heavy losses and cannot protect Black Sand City and Wind City.

In addition, Emperor Yuanwu was very confident in the strength of the Chu State, so he also believed that the Stormwind City that Lin Ze said would not be mistaken because of Black Sand City and Storm City.

"Lin Lixuan, what you did before was good, but where did you do this, where did you give me the dominance of the two big cities, you two actually gave it to each other privately, and you never said a word to me before, when it was just a letter of the chapter, it was over?" Emperor Yuanwu roared.

Lin Ze only knew at this time why Emperor Yuanwu was so angry before, it turned out that it was because his face was damaged.

"This emperor is too stingy!" Lin Ze muttered secretly in his heart.

Seeing Emperor Yuanwu's appearance, Lin Ze's heart was a little surprised, but he didn't know that Emperor Yuanwu had suffered a lot of anger in the early dynasty before, and when he thought of it, he was hooked in his heart.

"Your Majesty, isn't the minister returning to Beijing under the edict?" Lin Ze smiled slyly in his mouth.

Didn't you say that we would receive it privately, but I received your decree and returned to Beijing to receive the title, so in this case, where can we still be regarded as privately granting and receiving it?!

"Hmm!" Emperor Yuanwu was suddenly angry by Lin Ze's words, his face turned from white to red, then red to purple, and his last breath was directly crapped into his chest, and his mouth couldn't help coughing violently.

Huang He, the great eunuch beside him, hurriedly stepped forward at this time and gently patted Emperor Yuanwu on the back.

After coughing for a while, Yuanwu Emperor Yan Hao finally got his breath, he looked at Lin Ze who was standing below with an innocent face, and then remembered his original intentions before, and his mentality slowly calmed down.

"Lin Lixuan, you are indeed very bold!" Emperor Yuanwu said slowly, "However, I don't want to pursue these things anymore today, Lin Lixuan, I just want to know, are you capable of bearing the heavy responsibility of Eighteen Sand City?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao sighed a little lonely in his heart.

Huanghuang Dachu, up and down, north and south, east and west, tens of thousands of miles across the land, millions of soldiers and horses, countless officials, he should also be the supreme and the emperor of his word, but now, seeing that the country has gradually escaped his control, the power has begun to fall, even if Emperor Yuanwu wants to reorganize the imperial power, he is also more than willing to do it.

What is said about the whole world, is it not the king's land, the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers, those ministers and his good princes, all of them are talking about lotus flowers, and the sky is falling, in fact, in private, all of them are yin and yang, and they do private things with public weapons, and even damage the country and enrich themselves, it has reached the point of unscrupulousness, looking at the world, I really don't know how many people are worthy of his trust.

The Lin Lixuan in front of him, is it worth spending a lot of effort on him?

Emperor Yuanwu silently looked at Lin Ze, who was standing respectfully below, and saw him looking at himself through the big case like this, and he couldn't see the slightest fear and uneasiness about himself in his eyes, where was this like a young man who had just become an adult, but it was no different from those old foxes in the court, thinking about this, Emperor Yuanwu couldn't help but be upset for a while.

"Forget it, this Lin Lixuan is the only one who can break the game so far, so I don't have to be demanding!" Emperor Yuanwu made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, what did you mean by what you just said?" Lin Ze asked with a stir in his heart.

"Lin Lixuan, you are in Black Sand City, it will take a few years to fight all the sand pirates, take all the territory of the Eighteen Sand Cities for me, and expand the territory of my Great Chu?"

"Ten years!" Lin Ze blurted out without hesitation.

In fact, the real number of years in Lin Ze's heart is five years, and he said ten years, just to alleviate the suspicion of Emperor Yuanwu.

The real area of the Eighteen Sha Cities is larger than the two Sha Banks, such a big place, you Lin Ze only took five years to capture it, such a strong ability, Yan Hao will be 100% unable to sleep after knowing it.

In this way, Yan Hao is 100% good at dealing with Lin Ze.

"Ten years?" Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao was slightly stunned, and at the same time his heart was inexplicably relieved, and then suddenly burst into laughter, and said sarcastically: "Lin Aiqing, there were many generals who said such things back then, such as guaranteeing that all the threats of sand thieves would be suppressed in ten, fifteen, or twenty years, but in the end, it was still for me, and the previous emperors to defeat one after another, and even some generals died directly in the hands of the sand thieves, so, Lin Lixian, you are still arrogant?" What qualifications do you have to say such things!"

Lin Ze stared at Emperor Yuanwu Yan Hao very calmly, and waited for him to finish speaking before he said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not those generals, the ministers are the ministers, and besides, it only took less than a month for the ministers to capture Black Sand City and Swift Wind City before!"

Lin Ze's words made Yuanwu Emperor Yan Hao's laughter come suddenly, and he remembered that the Black Wind Thief and the Wind Thief were silently defeated by this person.

"And, Your Majesty, what the minister wants is not just to defeat those sand thieves, but to completely pacify the eighteen sand cities, eliminate all the sand thieves, and let the threat of the sand thieves to our Great Chu become history, and the minister will definitely include all the territories of the eighteen sand cities into the territory of Great Chu for the emperor. Lin Ze's face did not change, and he said confidently.

As if that had been realized, now he was just paraphrasing the facts.

Looking at Lin Ze, who was full of confidence, Yan Hao, the Yuanwu Emperor above, looked dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Ze carefully again, and made sure that the other party was not crazy, but was indeed talking to himself seriously, thinking about this, Emperor Yuanwu wanted to laugh in his heart again.

Because, before the Great Chu and the sand thieves had fought for hundreds of years, from the beginning to the present, they had never completely conquered this group of thieves on horseback, even the founding emperor of the Chu State did not do this.

Great Chu and the sand pirate group for hundreds of years of conquest, each other has won and lost, the big Chu has penetrated into the eighteen sand cities, the sand pirate group in the strength of the strong, also occupied some towns of the Chu country, neither side has the ability to completely defeat it.

In addition, the other countries around it will not sit idly by and watch the Chu State really occupy the Eighteen Sha Cities, once the Eighteen Sha Cities are in danger of being fully occupied by the Chu State, other countries will definitely secretly send troops.

Directly pretending to be a sand pirate group to attack the regular army of their country, such a thing has happened many times in the past hundreds of years, even if it is the state of Chu, such a thing has been done no less than ten times, so Emperor Yuanwu has never thought about it, nor did he dare to think about completely conquering all the sand pirates.

Although Emperor Yan Hao of Yuanwu was conceited, he did not dare to think that he could compare to the founding emperor.
