Part 2 • Chapter 86 The Power Struggle
After the victory at the Battle of Buffalo, Quan Yuan took full control of the supply corridor from Roa to the Duchy of Tins, and the entire southern part of Roa was placed under Quan Yuan's control. He cut off the supply lines of the Vikings on the Western Front, and although the Western Front had captured Tins and could supply them on the spot, they had no way to connect with the Viking army in Loya. It seriously affected the rationality of the overall layout system of the Viking army and the possibility of cooperating with the battle. Liu Lei has learned of his mission, although this mission gives him a very strange feeling, I have always seen such scenes in movies before, what mission will the protagonist be undertaken, but what mission does the real self have in this world, the god of fate never seems to have given him any time. And to him, the god of life is like a bystander, watching a group of self-made chess pieces attack on the chessboard, and when he sees that the chess is not very honest, he picks it out and throws it away, and where it goes, he may also forget.
Liu Lei felt that he was the one who was picked out, but he seemed to be luckier and remembered by the god of fate.
The area of the southern part of Roa already accounts for one-third of the entire Roya, which is larger than the area of some medium-sized countries, such as the Duchy of Tings and the Maoyuan Kingdom. The Jin officers led by Liu Dao Jue believed that Quan Yuan should be called emperor, but the old Luo Ya department led by Ma Yiping believed that the former emperor Leighton Farran should be invited back to preside over the overall situation. The two factions are at loggerheads, in terms of strength, the strength of the two factions is about the same, Ma Yiping controls the war rhino cavalry, and Liu Dao is definitely Liu Lei's cronies, between the high-level of Fu **, everyone knows who Liu Lei is. Ma Yiping didn't dare to offend Liu Lei, although he had the war rhino cavalry in his hands, but he knew very well that eighty percent of the combat effectiveness of the war rhino cavalry, known as the first cavalry on the mainland, was brought by the mounts, and these unruly mounts were brought by Liu Lei. However, the willow knife must not be able to split the horse and the flat with one sword, because this has a bearing on the unity and stability of the entire army.
Quan Yuan had a headache, he knew that the willow knife was definitely for his good, but after all, Ma Yiping was the leader of the rebellion when Luo Ya fell, and he had a high prestige in the entire Luo Ya, if he didn't handle it well, things would be out of control. This kind of problem, Liu Lei felt nerve-wracking, if he was to take a measure: delay, as long as he could. But he knows that he is a lame politician, and we will not get involved in this matter. He talked to Kwon Won, left Roya, and returned to Sing Tao with his two girlfriends.
Although Liu Lei left, the struggle in Kea City did not stop. It happened to be winter now, the army was resting, and there was no enemy attacking again, giving them such a time period to settle household matters.
Liu Lei's departure gave Ma Yiping confidence. Obviously, the political acumen of this Luo Ya's relict is much higher than that of the crappy politician Liu Lei, and as soon as Liu Lei left, he immediately thought that this was Liu Lei's manifestation of giving up on Liu Lei's absolute! His judgment was right, according to common sense, it should be like this: Otherwise, why would you leave at this time? But Liu Lei is not an ordinary person, and he can't look at him according to the eyes of ordinary people, and he left because he felt that it was useless to take this place, or he was far away from the land of right and wrong. But he didn't expect this to affect Liu Daojue.
On the third day after Liu Lei's departure, a secret meeting was held in the depths of Ma Yiping's mansion in the bustling area of Kea City. In fact, it was just a conspiracy meeting, everything was strictly confidential, Ma Yiping was on the third floor outside the room, and it was full of his own cronies and soldiers, and anyone who came close to it would be killed!
"How is it, is everything ready?" Ma Yiping asked a person with a small beard, this person was when Quan Yuan went to find Ma Yiping, the bookkeeper was Ma Yiping's cronies all along. "No problem, everything is ready! I've found out that Lu Dao Jue goes to a stall every morning for breakfast, and it is said that he likes the eye-catching buns there, and I have already bought off the owner of the stall, and he says that he is a Viking spy, and he meets Liu Dao Jue at the stall every day!"
"Is the evidence of the collaborator ready?" Ma Yiping asked again. "I've got the letter and the map ready, I promise it's okay!" "Okay, you go and prepare immediately, this person is extraordinary, we have to be careful!" "Don't worry, I've spent a lot of money to hire an excellent killer, and there are three thousand of us armor soldiers on the periphery, so it's guaranteed to be foolproof!"
Quan Yuan got up in the morning, a black shadow suddenly fell from the big tree outside the window, directly entered Quan Yuan's room through the window, knelt on the ground and said, "Master, secret report!" He presented a note with both hands, Quan Yuan took it and opened it, and his expression suddenly changed! He rubbed the note in his hand, walked around the room with his hands behind his back, frowned deeply and thought for a long time and said: "Immediately destroy all the relevant materials and records of this matter, as if you don't know about this matter at all!" "Yes!" The man in black nodded and went out. Kwon Won walked around the room, looking restless.
Liu Dao should definitely be able to clean up Ma Yiping, although Ma Yiping arranged a lore array, but he didn't know that Liu Dao was definitely immortal, even if he was seriously injured, he would not die. This time, he happened to be able to get rid of Ma Yiping, who had been arrogant since the conquest of the south, with the help of the willow knife, and he was not responsible.
Quan Yuan had a calculation in his heart, but he felt a little sorry for Liu Daojue in his heart, although he didn't take the initiative to use him, but after all, he was a little sorry for his friends. He apologized a little apologetically to Liu Dao Jue in his heart, looked up at the window, it was already dark, the servant came in and invited him to breakfast, Quan Yuan was not in the mood, waved his hand to let the servant go down, and suddenly rushed in from outside the door, and fell to the ground: "General! The big thing is not good, General Liu Dao Jue killed General Ma Yiping!" Quan Yuan was shocked: "What!"
This time the scene was sufficient, Quan Yuanfei brought people to the scene, Liu Dao Jue stood on a long street, surrounded by soldiers wearing compound ** uniforms, on the long street, a long ditch of more than 30 zhang was opened, Liu Dao Jue stood at this end of the trench, a few meters to his left, a shoulder shoulder stall scattered on the ground, a ragged old man holding his head and shrinking to the side. At the end of the long trench, Ma Yiping and several of his subordinates fell to the ground, and on both sides of the long trench lay dozens of people dressed as civilians with weapons in hand.
Quan Yuan took a look, the soldiers on the periphery were all Ma Yiping's cronies, and everyone looked very indignant, but at this moment, Liu Daojue was holding a knife in one hand, standing proudly, as if the god of war was invincible, and they didn't have the courage to rush forward! Liu Daojue saw Quan Yuan coming, and he didn't say anything, Quan Yuan hurriedly came to his side and asked: "Dao Jue, what's going on?" Before Liu Daojue could speak, the soldier next to him shouted: "He collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and was discovered by General Ma, so he killed General Ma by force!" This person is not a Roya, you can't believe him!" Quan Yuan glared at the soldier, although the soldier was very scared, but he still forced himself to say: "The evidence is in the old man, there is a letter from Liu Dao to cooperate with the enemy as proof!" Liu Dao Jue glanced at Quan Yuan, turned to the old man who was trembling next to him and said in a deep voice: "Old man Ge, you set up a stall here, a month ago, there were ruffians who caused trouble, I passed by here to help you; You said that your old wife has been sick for a long time and has no money for treatment, I will fund for you to cure your old wife's stubborn illness, and you will repay Liu like this!"
The old man surnamed Ge suddenly knelt on the ground and began to cry, crying and kowtowing to Liu Daojue: "General Liu, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you! It's all that person, he threatens my wife's life, I dare not agree! General Liu, I'm sorry for you!" He climbed to Quan Yuan's side, grabbed Quan Yuan's pants and said: "General Quan, I'll tell you the truth: it was that person who brought these letters, and I said that they were General Liu's! I'm sorry for General Liu......" Everyone saw that the person Ge Laohan was referring to was a person lying next to Ma Yiping, they all knew each other, and he was a military advisor of Ma Yiping!
Suddenly, the long street was in an uproar, and Liu Daojue put away the sky at this moment and left without saying a word. No one dared to stop him wherever he passed, and let him walk slowly. The soldiers didn't expect such a thing to happen to each other, Quan Yuan blackened his face, glanced at the soldiers around him, snorted heavily, and shouted angrily: "Don't let me go back to the camp yet!"
This matter did not end there, Quan Yuan took the opportunity of the investigation to put Ma Yiping's henchmen in prison, those who were closely related were all punished, and those who were not deeply related were locked up for a few days and then released, and Ma Yiping's forces were completely wiped out for a while!
After all the dust settled, Quan Yuan came to find Liu Daojue, who had never met. As soon as they met, Quan Yuan respectfully gave the willow knife a salute, and the willow knife sat like a mountain and accepted this worship firmly. Seeing his appearance, Quan Yuan was stunned for a moment and said, "You know everything?" Liu Dao Jue shook his head and said proudly: "If I don't know the flower intestines in your belly, wouldn't I have been friends with you for so long?" Quan Yuan said apologetically: "I'm really sorry for my friend, so I'm here to apologize!" Liu Dao Jue shook his head: "You didn't do anything wrong, you can do this, because you know that I am immortal, so it's okay! ”
After receiving Liu Daojue's understanding, Quan Yuan was in a good mood, and asked jokingly: "When did you become so powerful, that knife on the long street is really not simple!" Liu Daojue said: "This is also a blessing in disguise, the energy of the soul demon is fiery, I was set up by him for a while, and it actually stimulated the power of the blood of the immortal bird in my body! Now I am much more powerful than a thousand years ago!"
This power struggle ended with the victory of Quan Yuan and Liu Dao, and Quan Yuan was undoubtedly the big winner. Since then, Quan Yuan has no longer had any obstacles on the road to becoming emperor! Emperor Leighton Farlan of the Roya Empire has since been forgotten in the corner of history!
Liu Lei also brought Shi Ye back, Shi Ye wanted to learn martial arts with him, Liu Lei originally wanted to keep him by Liu Daojue's side, Indonesia's martial arts cultivation for Liu Dao Jue is much stronger than him, if he was allowed to create a martial arts master in an instant, he could do it, but let him spend a few years to train a martial arts master, he really couldn't do it!
At this time, he began to miss Dongyue Qinglai, if this old man is still there, you can just throw it to him like Quan Yuan did at the beginning, and you can rest assured. It's a pity that this old guy doesn't know where Yunyou has gone. However, at this time, the appearance of a person is not inferior to Dong Yueqing.
The day after Liu Lei returned to Xingdao, at this time, it also happened to be the day when Liu Dao had an accident with them, a lonely boat floated on the sea around Xingdao, and the guards shouted loudly: "This is a private territory, and it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to set foot in it! Unrelated people leave as soon as possible!" They felt that such a small boat should not be looking for trouble, so they did not aim their guns at the boat, but things in the world are often unexpected, and the boat drifted to the shore of Star Island carelessly! A group of soldiers rushed up and took down those who were not afraid of death!
On the boat was an old man, the old man smiled, looking very amiable, the soldiers called the old man in a mess and spoke, his voice was not loud, but in such a noisy environment, everyone heard: "I came to find the owner of the island Liu Lei!" Liu Lei later claimed to be the owner of Xingdao Island, it was from here, he felt quite a bit of the meaning of the owner of the peach blossom island!
The soldiers knew that the person who could know the name of the island owner must have a close relationship with the island owner, so they twisted him in front of Liu Lei. "Jilingxia?!" Liu Lei called out in surprise and hurriedly drove those soldiers out: "How do you know that I am here?" Jiling Xia smiled: "It's not difficult for people like me to find people, but it's really a bit troublesome for people like you to find them!" Liu Lei smiled: "Why did the great master come to me for something?" Jiling smiled, quite a bit of an unbearable sense of looking back on the past: "I am no longer the national teacher of the Vikings, and you don't need to call it that." "Okay, I'll call you Lao Ji, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
Ji Lingxia said: "I want to know, who is the person when the lights are turned off!" Liu Lei looked at him and asked quietly: "Didn't you say that you are no longer the national teacher of the Viking Empire? What do you care about these things?" Ji Lingxia said: "But I am still a citizen of the Viking Empire!" "But there is a popular saying in Delmonton: Martial arts have no borders, magic has no borders!" "But martial artists have their own countries!" Ji Lingxia-for-tat. Liu Lei smiled: "I am now a businessman, not a martial artist, the news you want to get is very precious and valuable!" He said: "You are a businessman, you always have to receive a little payment!" Ji Lingxia carefully emphasized the "one point", which means that it cannot be too much, and he is afraid that he will not be able to pay it. "Okay, let's get it straight, I can tell you first, but you must agree to my conditions after you hear it!" Liu Lei's coolness made Ji Lingxia feel that he should be careful, but Liu Lei's next sentence dispelled his concerns: "After you listen to it, you can choose whether to agree to my conditions or not, I think you will definitely agree!" Liu Lei knows that Ji Lingxia is a gentleman, although he can choose, but a person like him, who has received the favor of others, how can he not repay?
Ji Lingxia thought about it, and finally nodded, his loyalty to his homeland made him jump into it knowing that it was a trap. Liu Lei truthfully told him the origin of the soul demon burning lamp, Ji Lingxia couldn't speak for a long time after hearing it! This shock was too great, Liu Lei gave him time to digest, after a while, Ji Ling Xia finally let out a long sigh, and muttered: "Viking, there is a trouble...... Liu Lei said: "You cooperate with me, only in this way, we can save your country, we can defeat the soul demon, and we can stop the war!" Jiling lowered his head and said: "You let me think about it!" Liu Lei raised his eyebrows: "No problem, you live here with me first!" ”
Liu Lei understands Jilingxia's concerns, his current position is after all opposed to the Viking Empire, if Jilingxia cooperates with him, he will be infamous as a "traitor", such pressure is difficult for anyone to bear, especially when you know that you are defending the country, but you are slandered as a "traitor" by all people, that kind of feeling is incomprehensible to ordinary people.
The next day, Liu Lei already knew about the changes in Kea City, Qing Shui and Yi Qingping sat on both sides of him, Liu Lei for a long time, sighed and said: "Let them go......" Liu Lei has already guessed the inside story, although he is a crappy politician, but that is not to say that he does not understand politics, it is precisely because he understands too well, so there are some things he can't do! It's not that he doesn't understand, but he can't do it!
In the next few days, Liu Ti was busy with the supervision of weapons, and he had no time to contact Jilingxia. The Sing Tao Arsenal has already manufactured the "tank" in Liu Lei's mind, and early this morning, the first actual combat model of the "tank" has been manufactured, and Liu Lei is allowed to review it.
The man-made tank in Demonton had eight wheels underneath, each supported by wood, and then wrapped in a base hide, which was filled with feathers. Because they didn't know how to make tracks, they were the only ones who could move at high speeds in different road conditions while keeping the body stable. In terms of artillery fire, they improved the magic cannon and turned it into a flat-fire cannon, but the caliber was a little smaller, but it didn't matter. The body of the car was loaded with a thick iron plate, and Liu Lei stretched out his hand and knocked it on it, but it was quite hard! In the understanding of the people of Demonton, armor is also a thick iron plate.
Liu Lei looked at the big guy in front of him, stupid and clumsy, and didn't like it for a while. However, as soon as the driver started the engine, the "tank" galloped like a flight in the rumble, and half of the room was blown away with one shot! Liu Lei's eyes suddenly narrowed. It's not pretty, but it's still powerful.
Liu Lei immediately allocated funds to manufacture such weapons in large quantities.
Back at his residence, Jilingxia was already waiting for him. "Okay, I promise you!" Liu Lei smiled when he heard this: "Okay, let's talk about the conditions!" "What other conditions?" Ji Lingxia wondered: "Isn't this a condition?" "How can there be such a good thing!" Liu Lei made a fuss and said: "Cooperating with me is beneficial to you, and it is dispensable for me! How can this be regarded as a condition? My condition is to ask you to be my tutor!" "Tutor?" Jiling is inexplicable, what is this thing? But he understood very well, and at the same time, he also knew that he had fallen into Liu Lei's trap again, this tutor was not easy to be!
