621 Garrison the Imperial Capital
Ling Xiaotian already knew how the Holy Martial Sect would deal with it, and of course he also had countermeasures for their outright denial, and secretly contacted a group of debaters to criticize them for being "incomplete", the Holy Martial Sect was good when it had a very high status in the minds of the people, but there was also a saying called the pain of standing high and falling, and the current Holy Martial Sect was such a situation.

Raphael felt that they could no longer grasp the development of the situation, so they had to come to see Ziluo again.
Ziluo had an ugly expression on her face, she had just received a report that the power of the anti-war alliance was getting bigger and bigger, and even the royal families of the two empires of Dongning and Western Han had to make concessions and stand on the side of the anti-war alliance, no matter what kind of considerations, whether it was done on the surface or sincerely, anyway, they had already done it.
The two warring sides even had a tacit truce, waiting for the contract to be signed.
"Sect Master, the anti-war of the matter is completely out of our control" Raphael said helplessly: "Compared to the so-called evidence, the answer we made is too simple, it is difficult to block the mouths of the people, if it continues to develop like this, the Holy Martial Sect will have no prestige."
"Abominable Ling Xiaotian" Zi Luo gritted her teeth and said: "I really regret that I didn't kill him last time, the most difficult thing to control is the human mind, my Holy Martial Sect's position in the hearts of the people for thousands of years has been ruined, but what I want to do is no one can stop it, Grand Elder Raphael, the matter of the Three Kingdoms War will be handled by you in the future."
"War?" Raphael was taken aback and said: "No one wants to fight now, everyone is waiting for the final outcome of the matter"
"There is no war that can provoke a war" Ziluo said hatefully: "No matter what way you use, I have nothing to say, but the result is that the three major empires are all defeated, and they want to make their royal family disappear completely, and the Phantom Cloud Continent is led by our Holy Martial Sect"
Raphael said in his heart What is this for, is it to unify the continent, you Ziluo wants to be the emperor of the Phantom Cloud Continent? It doesn't look like it, if she had such ambitions, she would have made a move a long time ago, so why wait until now
"I don't really understand ...... Master"
"You don't need to understand" Ziluo didn't wait for Raphael to finish speaking, then interrupted him, and said: "What you need to do is very simple, that is, to provoke a war, I don't care about how the process is done, what I care about is the result, I can command the right of the Holy Martial Sect with you, but remember, this right of yours is only limited to serving the war, remember?"
What else could Raphael say, he could only nod solemnly, to show that he would do his best to do this well.
……
The condemnation of the Holy Martial Sect was very high, and the people in the branches of the Holy Martial Sect in various places did not dare to go out, and as soon as they went out, they had to be questioned by countless people, except for the sentence "This is not a fact", there was really no other word to excuse themselves, and after a long time, there were also disagreements within the Holy Martial Sect, and some of them also strongly demanded that the high-ranking people come out to explain the matter.
Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng joined Ling Xiaotian with the troops left behind, and it turned out that there would be no more major battles between the warring parties, and of course the city would not need too many people to defend it. A lot of enemy soldiers feel that it is not worth participating in this war, and they are desperately bleeding here, just to satisfy the intrigues of some people.
The high-level deliberations of the Southern Lu Empire, the old men and the young ministers quarreled, and neither of them was willing to listen to each other's opinions.
Helian Xiyue sighed and said to Helian Qing: "See, the previous Lord and faction have now become the main battle faction, I really don't understand where those old men's confidence in the main battle comes from, you must know that not long ago they were still shouting that the main battle is misleading the country."
Helian Qing said with a smile: "Of course, this confidence comes from the application of the Xiao Tian Legion and those evidences, the reason why they did not advocate the war of resistance before is because the strength of the two empires is stronger than ours, the main harmony is nothing more than the reparation of the land, and the loss is the empire, which has nothing to do with them, since it can't touch their interests, of course they are the main peace, because once the main battle, after the defeat of Nanlu, they will become nothing, now it is different, the enemy has no morale at all, and he is vulnerable, just take this opportunity to regain the lost territory." , they can even encroach on some of their land, who will let them encroach on our land first, when the time comes, as the main battle party, they will be added to the rank and knight, of course they will be the main battle"
Helian Xiyue shook his head and said: "Powerful, a group of powerful people who only know what they think about look at those young ministers, who fought in the main battle before, and now they are in peace, they have not considered the problem from their own interests at all, after this incident, I think that if you replace all those old ministers, at least none of the people who are fighting before and today can be left."
"But many of them are powerful figures," Helian Qing said with some worry: "The war has just been suspended, what the empire needs is stability, and your actions will undoubtedly cause a series of reactions, and it will be difficult to clean up when the time comes."
"I'm not worried" Helian Xiyue said confidently: "I am ready to recruit Xiao Tian to enter the imperial capital with his group army, responsible for the safety of the imperial capital, those old ministers who dare to make a mistake, they are all very shrewd Of course, if anyone gives a shameless face, I will not be polite to him, maybe I don't need to come forward at all, Xiao Tian's temper I know very well, he is very principled, whoever dares to touch his principles, who will wait for bad luck"
Helian Qing nodded, these days she has learned a truth - in troubled times, you must use heavy codes
……
"What, to return to the imperial capital to serve?" Ling Xiaotian looked at Gonggong Chen with some disbelief and said, "The soldiers in my hands are not regular troops, how could the empress give such an order?"
Gonggong Chen smiled and said: "Lord Duke is really good at laughing, although your soldiers are all recruited by themselves, but they are no better than any regular army can fight, the imperial capital is in your hands, Her Majesty the Empress and the Empress Dowager can handle political affairs with confidence, you can't shirk"
Just kidding, Helian Xiyue's order, can Ling Xiaotian refuse? Of course not
Soon, Ling Xiaotian led the troops to pull out, the other people's team is fighting less and less, his is fighting more and more, plus the more than 20,000 people who originally stayed in Beirut, the strength in his hands has reached 100,000 people, mainly cavalry, light and heavy cavalry occupy sixty percent of the army, then archers and infantry, and finally heavy troops, the combat effectiveness of such a group army is very strong.
When they arrived in the imperial capital, Ling Xiaotian and his soldiers were warmly greeted by the people, and the streets were bustling with people, and people standing on high places scattered flower petals down.
Ling Xiaotian was ordered to go to the imperial capital, accompanied by Jiang Yicheng and Liu Tiancheng. However, the two of them were left in the side hall, and a group of ministers were studying what kind of new official position they would give them, Ling Xiaotian naturally didn't have to think about it, he had already become a first-class duke, and the official was considered to be at home, although there was a prince above the duke, but the empire had never had a prince with a different surname
Where Ling Xiaotian went, there were only three people in the huge main hall, Helian Xiyue, Helian Qing and Gonggong Chen.
Ling Xiaotian and Helian Xiyue couldn't be more familiar, but the courtesy of the monarch and the minister is always indispensable, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Minister Ling Xiaotian greets Her Majesty the Empress."
"Duke Ling, please get up" Helian Xiyue personally came over to help Ling Xiaotian, Helian Qing saw something from it, and looked at Gonggong Chen, and the two smiled together.
