What a shrewd man Kuang Teng is.

Originally, he had already guessed seven or eight points, but now that he saw Lu Ping'an dodging, he didn't dare to answer directly, and concluded that the matter of the shadow demon was true, and the emperor must be clear about it.

From this point of view, the emperor sent the prince to the Tongtian Mountain Range, obviously wanting to use the Demon Sect to consume the prince's strength.

This plan can be described as non-toxic!

However, now that the prince has reached the periphery of the Tongtian Mountain Range, if he retreats at this time, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the prince.

Because it is known to the whole world that the prince's army this time is to completely eradicate the Demon Sect.

If you just stay at the bottom of the mountain for one night, and then go back in disgrace, you will inevitably be laughed at by the world.

Now it is difficult to ride a tiger, this battle is inevitable, it must be fought!

Not only to fight, but also to fight with great fanfare, to make achievements, so that everyone in the world can open their eyes to see who is the best candidate for the emperor of Dongyu Kingdom!

Qi Lie was still reminiscing about the conversation between Kuang Teng and Lu Ping'an just now.

He is not stupid, although he doesn't think as deeply as Kuang Teng, but he can roughly hear the two of them understand the meaning of these words.

Thinking that the emperor was going to borrow a knife to kill people, his heart was full of resentment.

I can't wait to bring people into the palace immediately, pull the senseless faint king down from the dragon chair, and throw him out of the palace!

Seeing him like this, Kuang Teng secretly shook his head at him.

Then, he said to Lu Ping'an: "Lu Jianjun rest assured, we will go up the mountain today, we will check the locations you just pointed out one by one, if what you pointed out is correct, within three days, we will be able to find the remnants of the Demon Sect and wipe them out!" ”

Qi Lie still had a lot of trust in Kuang Teng, nodded when he heard this, and said to Lu Ping'an: "You go back and get ready, and after half an hour, the army will set off on time to enter the mountain!" ”

Lu Ping'an bowed his hand politely, turned around and left the camp.

After Qi Lie saw Lu Ping'an walking away, he asked Kuang Teng: "Military advisor, the emperor clearly wants me and the Demon Sect to lose both, why do you still let me go up the mountain to exterminate the Demon Sect?" ”

Kuang Teng said: "Lord Wang, this is a dangerous move, destroy the remnants of the Demon Sect, and make a name for yourself, if you accidentally lose, you will never turn over, and you may even fall to the ground!" ”

"According to the military division, what are our chances of winning?" Qi Lie asked with a frown.

Kuang Teng thought for a while and said: "Judging from the current situation, it will not exceed fifty percent at most, after all, there are not many masters we have brought!" ”

Qi Lie asked, "Then what if I invite all the powerful worshippers in the palace?" ”

Kuang Teng said: "Then the odds of winning will indeed be much higher, but it will not be higher than sixty percent, the shadow demon can control the entire demon sect, and there are many strong people in the Holy Spirit Realm under his hands, and their strength cannot be underestimated!" ”

"Then if you do this, won't you push this king into the fire pit?" Qi Lie was dissatisfied.

Kuang Teng sighed and said: "This is also a helpless move, the prince has already driven the army here, if he goes back without doing anything, he will inevitably be laughed at by the world, saying that the prince is afraid of the enemy like a tiger and escapes from the battle, and at that time the prestige that the prince has accumulated over the years will be ruined." ”

Qi Lie frowned tightly when he heard this, and didn't say a word.

Qi Heng now governs the country in an orderly manner, and a while ago he destroyed the Demon Sect General Altar, which left a good impression in the hearts of the people of Dongyu Kingdom.

Therefore, for Qi Lie, if he wants to achieve great things, two conditions are indispensable.

One is enough hard power to fight with Qi Heng, and the other is to gain the support of the people!

Over the years, he has fought in the north and south, not only without any defeat, but also against the people, and he has indeed accumulated some prestige.

If he escapes this time, then the prestige he has worked so hard to accumulate will be completely gone.

At that time, what capital will you use to confront Qi Heng?

Let him completely give up the dream in his heart and surrender to Qi Heng's feet forever, he would rather die!

Thinking about this, he clenched his fists and said: "The military advisor did the right thing, if it weren't for the military advisor's thoughtfulness, this king almost missed a big thing!" ”

Kuang Teng said: "This battle is a matter of life and death, the prince must be fully prepared, according to the humble opinion of his subordinates, he should quickly transfer the worship of the palace and the stronger generals in the army to the Tongtian Mountain Range, so that they can quietly blend into the army!" ”

Qi Lie nodded and said, "The military advisor is right, I'll leave this matter to you!" ”

Kuang Teng said yes and left.

In less than half an hour, a team of horses disguised as a merchant in Nanjun hurried towards Tongning City.

These people are the masters of the royal palace who went to help Qi Lie.

Not long after these people left Nanjun City, Qi Heng, who was far away in the capital of Dongyu Kingdom, knew about it from Gongliang Wen.

However, he didn't pay attention to it, and just casually responded: "Let them go!" ”

……

At the same time, the periphery of the Babel Mountains.

After half an hour of preparation, Qi Lie led the army and marched towards the Tongtian Mountain Range.

On the way, Kuang Teng asked Lu Ping'an in a casual tone: "Lu Jianjun, I heard that Your Majesty has embarrassed Tianyuanzong many times, and I didn't expect Lu Jianjun to be so loyal to Your Majesty, it's really rare!" ”

His words seemed to be inadvertent, but he was actually testing Lu Ping'an, wanting to see what Lu Ping'an's attitude towards the emperor was.

Because he felt that with Lu Ping'an's character, it was impossible to be subservient.

He came to the army as a prisoner, mostly because of a deal with Qi Heng!

Of course, Lu Ping'an could hear that there was something in Kuang Teng's words.

He didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but just smiled and said: "The military advisor is loyal to the prince, and he has done his best to give advice to the prince, I should admire you!" ”

Kuang Teng was slightly stunned, still a little unwilling, and said with a smile: "Lu Jian Jun is so loyal to His Majesty, if he returns with a big victory in this battle, I don't know what reward His Majesty will have at that time?" ”

Lu Ping'an was too lazy to say, so he simply said directly: "I just want to save people, and I'm not interested in fame and fortune!" ”

Kuang Teng originally wanted to persuade Lu Ping'an to let him serve the prince!

The reason why he wanted the emperor to reward Lu Ping'an was to tell Lu Ping'an in secret that Qi Lie could offer a better price.

It's a pity that Lu Ping'an didn't buy it at all, and he was helpless!

But this is good, at least it can prove that Lu Ping'an is bent on saving people and is not Emperor Qi Heng's loyal dog.

This is also good news for Qi Lie.

Anyway, it is at least certain now, as long as Lu Ping'an has not rescued his confidante, it is impossible to be unfavorable to the prince.

Of course, there is a deeper benefit.

The prince personally led the troops to deal with the remnants of the Demon Sect, if he dealt with the remnants of the Demon Sect, he could firmly pinch Lu Ping'an's confidante Jiang Yuebai in the hands of the prince, would he still be afraid that Lu Ping'an would not be obedient at that time?

As long as Lu Ping'an is pinched, it is equivalent to completely controlling Tianyuan Sect in the hands of the prince!

In this way, the prince's chances of winning against the emperor must be increased by at least one percent!

Thinking of this, Kuang Teng was relieved.

He didn't show his face, just smiled and complimented: "Lu Jianjun attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which really makes Kuang admire!" ”

Lu Ping'an also smiled and did not speak.

Kuang Teng found an opportunity to tell Qi Lie his thoughts.

Qi Lie said with a smile: "Okay, it's still the military advisor who is far-sighted, and he can actually come up with such a clever plan, and he is not afraid that Lu Ping'an will be disobedient when the time comes!" ”

Kuang Teng reminded: "But it's best for only the two of us to know about this matter for the time being, if it reaches Lu Ping'an's ears, it will be troublesome!" ”

Qi Lie nodded thoughtfully: "Don't worry, this king has his own measure!" ”

Kuang Teng said: "There is another thing that the prince needs to pay attention to, his subordinates have already sent someone to carefully inquire about Lu Ping'an's victory over the major elders in the Cloud Sword Gate, although this son only has the realm of the early stage of the Holy Spirit Realm, but his real strength is already close to the fourth level of the Holy Spirit Realm, if he really fights, relying on just one Tong Zhankui, I am afraid he may not be able to control him!" ”

Qi Lie frowned: "The second level of the Holy Spirit Realm has the strength to approach the fourth level of the Holy Spirit Realm?" Strategist, that's unlikely, right? ”

It's normal for Qi Lie not to believe it, after all, the realm shackles are there.

Generally, in the early stage of the double stage of the Holy Spirit Realm, it is already a miracle to be able to draw the middle stage of the double stage of the Holy Spirit Realm, saying that Lu Ping'an has the strength to approach the fourth stage of the Holy Spirit Realm, he doesn't believe it if he is killed!

Kuang Teng did not hide it, and told Qi Lie what happened in Yunjianmen that day.

Qi Lie still didn't believe it, and said, "This king thinks that it's just a rumor. Those ignorant people, with false rumors, deified Lu Ping'an. ”

Kuang Teng said: "Anyway, my subordinates think it's better to be careful, and arrange two more people to keep an eye on him, so as not to have any accidents!" ”

Qi Lie said nonchalantly: "The military advisor is too worried, just a Holy Spirit Realm dual early stage cultivator, Mr. Tong is enough to stare at alone!" Besides, now is the time to employ people, if you really use your heart on Lu Ping'an, wouldn't it be a waste of resources? ”

"But ......"

Kuang Teng also wanted to persuade Qi Lie, because he knew very well that Lu Ping'an was definitely not as simple as it seemed.

But before the words could be spoken, Qi Lie interrupted him and said, "Okay, military advisor, this matter is settled, and I will mention it again in the future!" ”

Kuang Teng has been by Qi Lie's side for a long time, and he knows Qi Lie's character very well.

He is a person who is arrogant in his bones, and he looks down on people whose realm is lower than him from the bottom of his heart.

Since he has said so, it is useless to persuade himself.

Therefore, I could only respond and retreat!

Half an hour later, the army successfully came to the depths of the Tongtian Mountain Range, and Qi Lie did not hesitate, and hurriedly sent his men deep into the ground to find traces of the remnants of the Demon Sect near the spiritual veins.

As for himself, he was standing on the ground with a large group of people waiting for news.

As soon as there is movement underground, he will immediately kill him.

However, to his surprise, there was no movement underground, but there was movement on the ground.

A team of nearly 100 people slowly walked towards Qi Lie and the others.

If you look closely, almost all of those people are wearing the sect costumes of the Phantom Sound Workshop!
