In August 568 of the Altino calendar, the imperial city of Altino was the central capital

Since the celebration, Altino has changed dramatically. The people of the empire had not yet recovered from the shock of Lu You's sudden death, and wave after wave of events made everyone mistakenly suspect that they were in a dream.

After the Moon Sage Lu You was killed by Altino in the name of treason, Zhou Gongjin, the marshal of the Second Army, who was supposed to be stationed in The Hague, immediately led his army into the city to control the overall situation.

Hunting down the important figures of the Shizi family, and detaining the courtiers who usually look up to Shi Chong and snort, as if it was a big sweep, Zhou Gongjin cleared the poisonous blood that had accumulated in Zhongdu for a long time, especially when a number of Shi family cadres who had always been hated by the people were beheaded in public, and the cheers like thunder resounded in every corner of Zhongdu.

Zhou Gongjin is the commander-in-chief of the Second Army, and his troops are all in The Hague, and this time he came alone, and the forces used were all the manpower of the Medici family.

'Open the granary and distribute the rice and grain to the people of Zhongdu. ’

Zhongdu is the capital of the empire, and there is no farmland itself, but the materials from all parties are gathered, and it stands to reason that there should not be a famine, but in the past, in order to prevent the people from having the strength to make trouble, the Shi family deliberately controlled the logistics, and did not let the people have enough food, and they were in a state of semi-starvation for a long time, even if there was chaos, it was easy to control, so Zhou Gongjin immediately filled the stomachs of the people of Zhongdu after gaining control of the situation.

'If the political situation is turbulent, the people's livelihood will definitely be affected, so the people should not be inconvenienced, and the supplies should be replenished from other places, and if it is too late, they will be collected from the palace and the residences of the nobles, and in addition, the behavior of price gouging is strictly prohibited. ’

Zhou Gongjin's talent is not limited to military affairs. Before entering the city, he had already issued orders to several nearby provinces to collect the necessary civilian materials to minimize the impact of the turmoil.

After Lu You's death, the disciples of the White Deer Cave were panicked, for fear that after Al Tieno purged the Grandmaster, he would then eradicate the relevant forces of the White Deer Cave, and the elders even considered whether they should strike preemptively and be invincible.

At the moment when everyone had not yet made a decision, Zhou Gongjin personally went to the White Deer Cave to stabilize people's hearts, and after a conversation, to eliminate the anxiety of the elders. In the future, Altino still needs the power of the White Deer Cave, and I hope that the children of the White Deer Cave can continue to support the Eltino and create a better future for both sides.

'It's a pity this time, but all the sins will be borne by my master, and it will not be implicated in the White Deer Cave, everything will remain the same in the future, and the elders don't have to worry too much. ’

In these hundreds of years, Zhou Gongjin was originally Lu You's agent, and now that Lu You has died, Zhou Gongjin is the highest power in Bailu Cave, and he eliminated the elders' worries with a word, after all, if they can continue to enjoy glory and power in the future, who is willing to take such a big risk and avenge Lu You?

The tree fell and scattered, and the result was so realistic. However, of course, not everyone can accept the new situation so calmly, compared to the elders who have followed Lu You for many years, among the younger disciples, many of them admire Lu You as a god, and when they learned that Altino had wrongfully killed this human patron saint, they wept bitterly and grieved from the bottom of their hearts.

It was expected that Zhou Gongjin's appearance would lead revenge and seek justice, but the result was the opposite of what was expected, and these young disciples who were deeply influenced by Confucianism were filled with righteous indignation, and when Gongjin left, they rose up to block the front and rioted.

If they knew that Lu You was finally killed by Gong Jin's whip, the indignation would probably be a hundred times greater! In the end, the matter naturally ended in the students being dispersed, arrested, and imprisoned, and although Gong Jin left without saying anything, he secretly issued a military order to treat the students well.

It's good to have that kind of passion, as long as it's not taken advantage of. The steadiness of the old man can only point out the direction, and if you want to promote history, you must still rely on them. ’

As if muttering to himself, Gong Jin looked at the rioting students who were dejected, and their eyes were still burning with anger and unwillingness, and they were escorted away from front of them, and said so softly.

If there is no such thing as their behavior to witness today, the existence of the White Deer Cave and the Master will only leave a negative record in history, and it is because of them that the White Deer Cave ...... Altino has a future. ’

Jiang Zhong behind him was the only listener to these words, he didn't think that the boss's words were deliberately said to himself, in fact, he was full of joy, and he didn't have the room to think quietly about the meaning of these words. After years of waiting, the manager finally left The Hague to make a difference, which is more important than anything else.

'What's next...... What's else in the booking?'

Leaving the White Deer Cave, Gong Jin confirmed to his subordinates, and when Jiang Zhong confirmed that the previous arrangements had been all taken care of and there was no urgent official business for the time being, this loyal subordinate asked the boss whether it was time to take a break.

'Marshal, there are a lot of things to do after entering the city, and there are a lot of official duties to deal with tomorrow, shouldn't you now...

...‘

This request was refused, and Gong Jin moved his gaze to the imperial city below the mountain and said nothing. And even though he didn't speak, Jiang Zhong could understand his feelings.

The coach has always been reluctant to clash with the Altino royal family, especially Cao Shou. Among the ministers of Eltino, the one who regards this incompetent monarch as the most is Lord Gongjin. At the beginning of the battle of the imperial city, Cao Shou was locked in a million sword arrays, after Gong Jin entered the city, he withdrew the sword array with a reversal technique, and liberated the people trapped in it.

All actions, including the elimination of the Shi family's forces, were carried out in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and now that the monarch's side has been cleared, what kind of mood will the king feel when he wakes up and discovers these changes? Maybe no one cares, but at least the boss will feel troubled. If it weren't for that, Lord Gongjin wouldn't have had to lie dormant in The Hague for years......

'What always needs to be solved, then don't put ......it off'

As if having made a decision, Gong Jin took Jiang Zhong out of the White Deer Cave and went to the Imperial City of Zhongdu.

As expected, the Imperial City was surrounded by heavy regiments, led by the Medici army, which controlled every road and point in the Imperial City. The Imperial Guards, who were supposed to be responsible for guarding the Imperial City, did not clash with it, and left the Imperial City under the orders of the governor Dorgon, and rested at a temporary garrison in the west of the city.

Gong Jin and Jiang Zhong entered the imperial city and went straight to the emperor's bedroom, and before they could get closer, the sergeant in front had already automatically made their debut. Looking through the layers of human walls, looking straight at the end, a man in white sat on the stairs as if he was bored, and yawned to Gong Jin, who was walking quickly.

'It's so slow, Second Senior Brother. ’

'I've been waiting. ’

"I'm an injured person, I need to rest, you hurry up and get things done, I really want to go back to rest early, isn't it enough for you to do things here?"

His Majesty laughed. ’

With a faint speech, I couldn't hear any sense of joking, and Gong Jin just emphasized the reason why the two met here.

After the Qing monarch's side, it is natural that he will encounter the king's opposition, and in order to completely remove the obstacles, Gong Jin's action is very decisive.

The emperor's dormitory, ordinary people are not allowed to enter, Gong Jin and Hülegü walked side by side, but at the moment of entry, Gong Jin deliberately took a step slower and followed behind;

Not long after, there was a faint sound of Cao Shou's scolding and heavy objects throwing in the palace, and after a while, everything fell silent, when Hülegü pushed the door out again, he first told the sergeants outside that His Majesty Cao Shou deeply regretted that he had been inappropriately governing in the past few years, and had affected the people.

This news was not so much shocking, but it was all expected, and then, in the eager eyes of all the sergeants, the beautiful man in white shook his dazzling blonde hair, and announced with some reluctance that he had just been appointed by His Majesty Cao Shou, and from now on, he would temporarily take the throne of Emperor Artino and manage the affairs of the emperor's [***].

The cheers instantly resounded through the Imperial City of Zhongdu, as if it was a wave of joy, wave after wave, spreading outside the Imperial City. When the sound of the soldiers shouting 'Long live His Majesty Hulegu' in ecstasy reached the outside of the city, the people of Zhongdu were stunned at first, and then hugged and jumped and shouted, crying with joy in the excitement they had not seen for a long time.

According to Hülegü's statement, he was only temporarily taking over the state politics of Altino, not taking over the throne, but the people of the empire did not care about this, the rumor that Hülegü was Cao Shou's illegitimate son was widely known as early as during the Maishi War, and the two parties never denied it positively, and the people also expected Hulegu to replace his incompetent father and rejuvenate Alteno as emperor, even if it was a military coup, and now is the most ideal state.

Politicians have always been awkward and eccentric, and they may be concerned about historical status or political factors, and they always have to use some strange statements to explain their behavior, anyway, at the moment when the former emperor has announced his abdication, Hülegü, who has royal blood, has long been the most reasonable heir to the throne in the hearts of the people. But no one thought that this beautiful blonde man who kept muttering 'I'm not the emperor, just a temporary regent' was really reluctant.

"Trouble, this is not an improper expectation at all, second senior brother, let's discuss, I'll leave it to you here, I'll go back to sleep and recuperate." ’

'Your Majesty......'

'Don't like that?' In other words...... Well, Zhou Aiqing, all the big and small things here, I will leave it to you, the minister of the humerus, act cheaply, I am very tired, excuse me, calm down, retire from the dynasty, and dissolve automatically after a while!"

Without waiting for the words to finish, Hülegü floated away with his legs, and blurted out the whole sentence, the person was already floating ten zhang away, and Gong Jin didn't even have a chance to refuse, so he could only watch this unreliable partner, and his figure disappeared into the crowd.

Glancing at the already dark dormitory, where Cao Shou would be under house arrest for a long time to come, Gong Jin watched silently for a while, bowed, and turned his head to explain to the generals who were waiting for him to give orders.

'The action is too fast, all at once, from the killing of the old ministers to the completion of the military coup, what will be the next thing?'

Reynes's staff group had such feelings, saying that since the end of the Raiders, too many things had happened, and the people were so busy that they almost only passively coped with the situation, missing the opportunity to take the initiative.

When Cao Shou announced his abdication, the news that Hülegü had temporarily taken the power of Eltino came, and a group of staff led by Cangyuecao fell into deep thought about the report in hand.

Hülegü, who has always only chosen to protect himself and does not make a clear statement in the struggle for hegemony among countries, why did he suddenly change his position and connect with Zhou Gongjin?

The scheduling of the Medich family is so neat, Xiaocao does not think that this is the result of Hülegü's hasty decision after the battle of the imperial city, it must be before the decisive battle, Hülegü has reached an agreement with Zhou Gongjin, and after the war, Cao Shou was forced to abdicate, with Hülegü as the leader, to reorganize Ertino.

This matter is unreasonable, because no matter what, it is impossible for these two people to join forces purely based on the brotherhood of their brothers, and Xiaocao can't guess the reason for Hülegü's change of position. And when looking at the overall situation, Shi Chong's position is also very strange, if he had not arranged everything in advance, the transfer of power could not have gone so smoothly, his own arrest and imprisonment, and the close cooperation between Dolgon and Zhou Gongjin, illustrate this fact.

In other words, the core of this plan to kill Lu You and reorganize El Tieno was reached by the tripartite alliance of Zhou Gongjin, Shi Chong, and Hülegü.

When this conclusion came out, not to mention the stunned staff, even Xiaocao himself sighed lightly, unable to figure out what was wrong with the world in front of him? Why did he wake up and all his personnel relations were confused? Although there are no eternal enemies in politics, why did several forces that were originally mortal enemies of each other privately join forces without warning? Who is leading this alliance?

Judging from the results, it should be Zhou Gongjin who leads this new regime, but I can't think of any reason why he would take the lead in launching this alliance? Shi Chongken must have gained great benefits by being so aggrieved, but I can't guess how much Zhou Gongjin promised in exchange for his cooperation. ’

The reason for Xiaocao's confusion is that the situation in front of her is completely unreasonable, and she can't use ordinary thinking to deduce. Shi Chong was willing to take the risk of cooperating with Zhou Gongjin, which naturally had his advantages, but he was not only arrested in prison at this moment, but his backer Cao Shou fell, and even his subordinate forces were decomposed. Without power and power, being beaten back to the original point, what kind of remuneration can make up for such losses?

'Will it be...... Zhou Gongjin immediately broke the agreement after arresting him, and their original agreement did not include such a thing as decomposing the Shi family?'

The staff put forward such a possibility, but Xiaocao dismissed it without even thinking about it.

Shi Chong's detention does not mean that he has no influence on the outside world, if the disintegration of the stone family had not been approved by him, a bigger riot would have been set off, and Dolgon and Hua Tianxie would not have stood idly by, it was impossible for Altino to settle down in such a short time.

These are all things that are deduced according to reason, and the staff members admire Xiaocao's judgment very much, but Xiaocao himself is not satisfied, because although he analyzes it thoroughly, the more he thinks about it, the more the enemy's behavior cannot be explained by his surname, and is it possible that all the enemies except Reins no longer need to think about their surnames, but only do things indiscriminately on their own pleasure? In that case, how can anyone who relies on his surname Li as his own person predict the enemy's next move?

Or...... Should this irrational question be left to those who think with the surname of the beast to judge?

'Little Grass Wife......'

Without waiting for Xiaocao to speak, Lancelot, who was drinking and looking at the scenery outside the window, suddenly picked up the peanuts on the table, threw them into the empty cup next to him, and buckled the glass.

"I don't need martial arts, I don't use magic, can you guess how many peanuts are broken in it when I slap it with one palm?"

'Hmm...... Can't guess. ’

'That's right, you can't guess, why do I guess?' If it's more than intuition, isn't your woman's sixth sense more reliable?'

Lancelot patted Xiaocao on the shoulder, and cheered for his wife with a smile, "I have only one intuition, Shi Chong and Zhou Gongjin are not good people, they are both harmful to us, we just need to know this, you don't have to be too unconfident, the reason why a madman does things, normal people can't guess that it should be, you just need to take measures not to be hurt by a madman." ’

'It's easy to say......

Xiaocao shook her head a little disgusted, but she was happy in her heart, and her husband's mention relieved the doubts in her heart in a timely manner and guided the direction.

However, this is also the limit of what Lancelot can do. Brains, thinking, and strategies are not his forte, and although he is also worried about the situation in front of him, he can't think of anything, so he can only pretend to be leisurely, so that his wife and subordinates can feel at ease and support their uneasy emotional side.

Broadly speaking, Reines has a lot of room to deal with external changes. At the beginning of the end of the civil war, the Baizi family was actively preparing war resources, and after the end of the war, they got a large number of materials and manpower, which was extremely helpful, especially the special card given by Li Yu, which solved the huge financial problem of reconstruction and military affairs after the civil war in one fell swoop, so that the military and political affairs of De Reynes were like a huge machine that had been oiled, running at high speed and efficiently.

Bai Wuji's sudden fall slowed down the speed of the gears slightly, and the loss of the North Gate Tianguan, dealing with the Shi family's army, made Reins deviate slightly from the original plan, but in general, as long as he could maintain this speed for a few more months, Reins would be able to meet the enemy in a perfect state.

If you want to delay, it will not be unfavorable to us, and we have a way to solve it quickly, so we just need to adapt to the situation. Xiaocao said: "Moreover, there are some things that must be discussed with someone before a decision can be made. ‘

'Women are so troublesome, wouldn't it be nice to be decisive in making a decision?'

'Well...... How about our current military commander in the highest position in the western border? According to the distance, they are about to reach the North Gate Tianguan, and you should be very interested in the news over there.

Seemingly embarrassed by the question, Lancelot tilted his head slightly and looked out the window at the clear blue sky.

On the other side of the same sky, there are also people who are disturbing the future movements. Lancelot and Xiaocao's focus is on the changes in the next few months, but those who are on the front line can only swing with the changes in the next few days.

Miss Nier, now that we have lost our pretext for war, even if we reach the North Gate Tianguan, we can only be on the defensive, and your surprise plan will not work. ’

"Nonsense, what can't be moved?" The military power is in our hands, and there is no obstructive Shi family army in front of us to block the way, as long as we give an order, we will immediately kill Eltino. ’

After a few days of marching, the Reins army arrived at the North Gate Tianguan, and before she could sit on the hot ass, Nile acted as if she had just arrived at the North Gate Tianguan, hoping for further military action. In her opinion, the chaos of Eltino is undoubtedly a godsend, and her impatient surname is even more impatient with the boring reconstruction work, hoping to attack and defend.

'The war between the two countries is not just a matter of bandits and plunder, we can't go anywhere and eat, and we can't mess around without a war order from Jixia. Attacking and defending is also a tactic, but in that case, you have to do it to the same extent as Mr. Bai Qi, after entering Eltinor, burn and plunder, and leave no grass, rice, or human life wherever you pass, and then quickly return to Reyns, so that even if Eltino wants to fight, he can't support it in terms of supplies, and can only dispatch elite combat forces like the Golden Dragon Knights, and can't mobilize the army. ’

Just from Niel's rapidly turning pale face, Gengoro knew she couldn't do it. In many cases, although the method is simple, not everyone has the same absolute determination as white.

"If it's just two masters fighting a battle for the heavenly position, then the only thing to pay attention to is each other, but the dispute between the two countries, there are many things to pay attention to, Miss Niel always wants to fight the kind of war that hangs the people, overthrows the old regime, and brings new life to the people, right?"

Unusual bandits, born in the forty thieves, Nier, in the time she was a thief, has always been a righteous thief who is supported by the local people, if one day when she led a team to pass by, the people resisted, that kind of thing feels very chilling to think about.

'The people of Altino, after all, are the people of Altino, and now they have a hope in their country, and they don't need us to save them, and if they wave their troops into the country at this time, they will be met with great resistance, which is not appropriate. Of course, if you have solved the psychological problem and killed it as a simple invader, then it is simple, just say to Your Majesty, our side can send troops at any time. ’

Watching Nile tilt her head to the left and right, thinking about it and not being able to come up with an answer, Gengoro thought it was funny. He was actually more concerned about the movements of Zhongdu than whether he should send troops now, because even if he didn't invade Altino, Zhou Gongjin would attack immediately.

'Why? They just had just finished the coup d'état, shouldn't they take a break to recuperate?'

'Recuperate...... Oh, if you don't fight first, Zhou Gongjin won't be able to build Al Tino with peace of mind. ’

Gengoro explained to Niel that although Gong Jin is currently cooperating with the Shi family, there is no basis for mutual trust between the two sides in this kind of partnership, and the group of heavenly masters led by Dolgon are a group of time bombs that will explode at any time, and Gong Jin will not put these dangerous factors by his side.

‘...... Therefore, the most ideal way is to send these dangerous elements to fight to the death with the sluts of Reins, and if they all die, it will be even more ideal, and Generalissimo Gongjin can easily rebuild Eltino.

‘

Gengoro said, suddenly frowning and said: "But Dolgon's side is not too stupid, such an obvious drive of tigers and wolves, they should ask the other party to go with each other in turn, or Zhou Gongjin will go on the expedition alone......

However, in this way, cooperation, which has no basis of trust, will immediately face a breakthrough, right? In order to avoid this breakthrough, both sides will make concessions, but they don't know how harsh they can endure...... Perhaps, from the boundary of patience between the two sides, the strength of this cooperative relationship can be deduced.

has the same confusion as Xiaocao, and Gengoro is also puzzled by the reason for the cooperation between the two sides, the only thing that is certain is that the two groups of people in Altino will not make themselves feel better......

"By the way, the guy who asked for money just delivered the goods again, aren't you looking for him?"

'Oh, then ask him to come over, I have a plan, I need two heavenly masters to implement it steadily, but in order to ensure safety, three people are more appropriate, since he is here, I want to ask him to help, anyway...... Now our Majesty has money. ’

Two of the three people who formed the core of Reynes's command of the frontier force were busy preparing for the future, and as a result, the practical work of the North Gate Tianguan fell entirely on another Shet, who was not qualified to participate in the decision-making meeting.

Since the Shijia army has withdrawn, the Reyns army that arrived at Tianguan at the north gate does not need to fight, except for the part of the guard, mainly to assist the local refugees in the aftermath. Medicine, food, clothing, and other supplies that the refugees desperately lacked were adequately supplied after the arrival of the Reyns army.

'Hey, aren't you soldiers, are you all right?'

'Prime Minister Zuo, although we are soldiers, but during the reign of Her Majesty the Queen in the past, the main job of the Reins army was to often be sent to various places to provide disaster relief, so we are very skilled in disaster relief work. ’

'Oh, then why do the guys over there seem to be clumsy, and have they not been able to do anything in the past?'

'Back to the prime minister, those governors are all ...... They came from the island, who were not very familiar with disaster relief work, and had just volunteered to be transferred to bury the bodies. ’

'Ahh......h Then, keep them away from me, and ...... The man in the green shirt was taken to the place for treatment for an occupational disease, and he had just stabbed the bayonet before he forgot to see if the refugee was still angry. ’

'Uh...... There should be no more now. ’

You can see it. ’

It is implicit, but it has been said that these five-color flag soldiers from West West Coca Island are not good at ambulance work, and the harsh environment on Alcatraz Island can only be eligible for post-mortem care if they can not die on the spot in the war. In fact, the usual medical work of these soldiers who had achieved great service on Alcatraz Island was to stop the suffering of their comrades.

'What a perverted army, this kind of army asked me to bring it, doesn't it want me to look good?'

There was snow grumbling and walking to his makeshift tent. As the prime minister of Zuoda, he has his own office tent, and at this moment, in that tent, there is a troublesome thing that Nier and Gengoro forced to push to him.

'Prime Minister, the refugee representative is waiting in your tent to meet you. ’

The official who spoke was a little nervous, and heard that the refugee representative was appointed by the Qinglou Alliance, and he had just glanced at it from a distance, almost intoxicated, and he was really a rare beauty in the world. Prime Minister Zuo is well-known for being greedy for money and lustful, don't do anything insulting to the country, laugh and be generous!

What he was worried about did not happen, because Prime Minister Zuo asked 'Are the people inside beautiful?', and after receiving a positive answer, the expression on his face was almost as ugly as ashes, and he wandered far away outside the tent, as if there were terrifying snakes and scorpions inside, and he was reluctant to take a step closer.

'Prime Minister, please come in, there is nothing you need to be afraid of here. ’

'That's weird...... You're the eldest woman, and that's the most terrible thing, and if I ever do anything to you, he'll tear me up right away. ’

Saying this, Youxue walked into the camp with a little uneasiness, and approached the terrifying beauty who had made him tremble and run half of Siam City from the first meeting.

There is a meeting between Snow and Fenghua, and nothing special happens, if you insist on saying that there is, it is Fenghua, who is extremely afraid of life, seems to be not afraid of the Snow people, and naturally talks to him.

But on the other hand, Youxue is reluctant to talk too much to Fenghua, lest some ill-intentioned people shirk their responsibilities at that time: "I don't know why my sister-in-law refuses to come to Reins, Youxue is the only person who has spoken to her, and if she asks him about something, maybe it's because he said something that shouldn't be said that my sister-in-law ran away." If this happens, you will be wronged to the ground.

For this reason, he didn't even dare to look at Fenghua's appearance. Although the elegance of stripping away from gorgeous clothes, changing into coarse cloth casual clothes, and tying long hair into a long braid, seems to be quite beautiful, but there is snow to be able to escape to this extent, which also makes Fenghua a little dumbfounded.

'Beimen Tianguan will soon be involved in the fighting, and I hope that before then, the refugees in this area will be evacuated before they are involved in bloodshed. ’

Fenghua made such a request, Youxue had no reason to refuse, and quickly agreed, saying that he would arrange the matter, and also promised to provide the required materials, and when the conversation was almost over, he had nothing to say, so he casually asked: "It's inconvenient to keep your hair so long, isn't it?

Once upon a time, a man said that he liked my hair very much, and he liked to comb my hair, so he asked me to take good care of it. I love this man and want to be able to maintain the look he likes, so I don't cut my long hair. ’

After Fenghua finished speaking lightly, he smiled a little shyly, and said: "Tell that man this sentence! Don't worry about me, do what he should do now, in this land, people's life and death, blessings and misfortunes, all depend on his thoughts." ‘

This sentence made Youxue almost cheer, although there were still some difficulties in the meaning of the words, but it was Lancelot's brain, and it had nothing to do with him, he just had to use this love sentence to make a difference. No matter what others think, as far as I am concerned, I try to avoid contact with this woman as much as possible.

Although she couldn't see with her eyes, Fenghua could still feel the strangeness of Xue's attitude from the abnormality of the atmosphere, and after a moment of thought, she smiled slightly and asked Xuete a question.

The officials, who had always been worried about what Prime Minister Zuo Da would do, peeked at the movement of the camp from a distance, but saw the representative of the beautiful woman leaving the camp and staying in the camp, pacing back and forth as if at a loss.

Situation...... It's weird.

'You say, the woman asked you, 'Have you had a good girl lately?'

'yes, why would she know?, and besides, I'm not married......

"Hey, I'm still sitting next to you, and you turn your face and don't recognize people, this is too ruthless, isn't it?

Since that contact in the forest, Youxue and Hao Kelian have maintained a meeting. At first, it was only Hao Kelian who unilaterally conveyed the information and asked that she only contact Yuxue alone, and if Gengoro or Nier appeared, she would leave immediately.

In order to be able to maintain this information line, Gengoro and Niel kept their agreement and did not bother. And after one or two contacts, Youxue dared to ask.

'Anyway...... You don't have anything else to do, it's hard to follow us every day and hide in the jungle all the time, right? Why don't we have lunch together tomorrow at noon?'

'Oh, are you fishing for me?, okay, if you can get a roast chicken, then let's have lunch together!'

In this way, from tomorrow to every day, two men and women belonging to different camps, take advantage of the short time at noon to have a bizarre meal.

The Shi family is developing the Ancient Demon Dao weapon, and it seems that they are planning to make a move, and this information was conveyed to Youxue by Hao Kelian earlier. After transmitting this information back to Jixia, in addition to strengthening the vigilance measures, the Taiyan Academy also began to predict what kind of ancient magic dao weapons would be developed by the Shi family that were suitable for the battlefield?

"Hey, our family's Mowgli master was assassinated, do you know who did it?"

Youxue once asked Hao Kelian this, although Bai Wuji had many enemies, judging from all the signs at the time, anyone would point the murderous finger at Al Tieno.

I don't know, at least we haven't heard anything from our department. Hao Kelian said: "However, there are many factions in Al Tieno itself, maybe the Shi family sent someone to assassinate them, or the Medici family did it, I can't be sure." ‘

Hao Kelian can only guarantee that this is not the work of Zhou Gongjin and the forces on the side of Bailu Cave, but beyond that, even she doesn't know about it. She was surprised by the changes that had taken place.

'How could this happen?......'

Hao Kelian's surprise seemed to have no prior knowledge of the Zhongdu incident, which made Youxue extremely surprised.

'How...... Don't you know?'

'Hmm...... It seems strange to say that I don't know now, but ...... Originally, as a subordinate, he did not have the right to ask his boss to know everything. ’

Gently brushing the hair on her forehead to the side, Hao Kelian's expression seemed a little lonely, and she seemed to be feeling a little sad because Gong Jin had concealed the incident in Zhongdu.

Judging from the snow, it is not difficult to understand such a mood, she was ordered by Zhou Gongjin to contact Reyns's side, pass on the information of the Shi family to Reins, and promote the fight between the two tigers. However, Gong Jin secretly united with the Shi family, so what is her situation?

Espionage, assassination, these are things that do not see the light of day. People who do these things and live in the dark world will not only end up in danger of life and death, but what is even more terrifying is that they may become outcasts in their own plans at any time and be sacrificed worthlessly. Just looking at Feng'er's appearance of being ready to die at any time before, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of life these people are living when there is snow.

Although she is one of the Four Iron Guards and is Zhou Gongjin's cronies, she has been kept in the dark for such a big incident in Lianzhong, so it is not difficult to imagine Hao Kelian's situation.

The position of the two sides is friend or foe, but after getting along, there is more or less friendship, Youxue wants to say some jokes to make the atmosphere a little better, but Hao Kelian laughed first, shook his head, and looked at the distant sky.

"Hey, Youxue husband, why does your boss want to go to war with us? Everyone fought over and fought, it's so annoying, he attacked Yuben this time, and he didn't get any benefits, and he is still so belligerent?"

Of course, there are many reasons to fight, personal grudges and national righteousness, but in the final analysis, people who have learned martial arts and are desperately trying to become stronger, aren't they just so that they can do whatever they want after becoming stronger, burning, killing, and plundering?

"Husband Youxue, I like your reasoning very much, but if it continues like this, my mission will be canceled, and I don't know if we can meet like this in the future?"

If Gong Jin didn't tell Hao Kelian about the alliance with the Shi family, but sent her here to carry out a mission, then the only explanation is that this is also a kind of deception, used to confuse Reyns's eyes, and prevent Reines from discovering Gong Jin's purpose. Then, when the truth no longer needs to be hidden, Hao Kelian should be given a new mission immediately, leave this place, or directly become an enemy of Reyns.

"It's best not to meet, I can save money to buy roast chicken every day, and I don't know what is wrong with you woman, you like to eat chicken so much?"

'If you don't eat chicken, do you want to carry a pig every day? Can you carry it? Moreover, don't you think that this is worthy of the name?'

I said it so nicely, I didn't see you let me eat one or two bites, everyone has known each other for so long, I can't take advantage of anything. Youxue frowned and said, "Anyway, your martial arts are so good, you can come if you want to come, who can stop you?"

said casually, even Youxue himself didn't notice that he didn't want to break off contact with the other party.

Contact and getting along with each other will slowly change the perception of people. At the beginning, her impression of this woman was just ruthless and unpredictable, and then she looked very gorgeous, and her breasts were really big, but as she got to know her deeply, the impression left in her memory slowly changed.

'It's easy to be with you, because I don't have to tempt you in particular, and even if I smitten you, I won't get a copper coin.' ’

Hao Kelian once said this, and in Youxue's memory, this woman's gorgeousness slowly faded in color. And if it is because she is not worthy of being seduced, Hao Kelian does not show her glamorous side, then, what is the true face of this woman? What will her true face look like when she does not deliberately charm the man's surname?

It's not a question for the Shet people to think about, but Youxue is still curious. In fact, during the lunchtime dinner these days, I seemed to be facing a different woman, who spoke not delicately, not so glamorous and charming, but very special and had a special taste.

What was that smell? Youxue remembers that one day, that smell was very strong.

That day, the weather was a little cold, and there was snow so busy that he forgot to ask the man to prepare the roast chicken, and at noon, he hurriedly took a raw chicken to roast.

The firelight flickered, the smell of pine wood was very fragrant, and the drops of chicken fat were smoking, and people were salivating, and Xue Zheng felt that his index finger moved, but he suddenly found that Hao Kelian next to him had a different face.

Without saying a word, his eyes looked straight at the burning fire, and as the flames flew, the stunned eyes seemed to burn with a kind of fiery heart that burned his surname.

Everyone who lives in the dark world, no matter how cheerful their expression is, must have a place in their heart, like ice that will not melt for thousands of years, even in the strongest sunlight, it is still cold and clear. Youxue could see what she remembered, but she couldn't guess it, she just felt that Hao Kelian looked very special at this time.

'Fire...... It's such a good thing, with just a little light seedling, everything can be reduced to nothing......

Favorite ...... Nasty ...... ...... in the fire'

I didn't quite understand the meaning, Youxue suddenly remembered that Hao Kelian, like Feng'er, was a master of using fire-based martial arts, so it was unknown if she had any special feelings about fire because of this. Hao Kelian also quickly noticed her abnormality, and immediately came back to her senses and joked with Youxue.

However, although it was only for a short time, the ghostly ethereal and ethereal feeling left a deep impression on Youxue.

Youxue patted the dust on his body, stood up, didn't look back, looked ahead, and shouted.

'Hey, big boobs wife. ’

The person at the back, with a smile in his tone, also responded.

'What's the matter, Shellt husband?'

'Even if my boss and your boss go to war, or if everyone becomes enemies again, we ...... Let's find a chance to meet and chat, I can treat you to my ancestral Schute roast chicken dish!"

If you don't understand this, you'll suffer a lot at my hands in the future, but...... Well, yes!'

It's a strange situation, but in two diametrically opposed camps, there seem to be two people who are building a bridge of friendship against the trend. In the atmosphere of war clouds, this may be a matter of surprise.

However, this peaceful atmosphere could not last, and on the same day, Yuxue, who returned to the camp, was given a mandatory task......

When Reynes began to gradually send away refugees in the area of Tianguan at the North Gate, preparing for future wars, Eltino was also busy dispatching troops and gathering soldiers from all over the place.

Busy with the political affairs of Zhongdu itself, Gong Jin regards feeding the people of the empire as the first priority, and there are many other political affairs, Altino's government affairs have been delayed for many years, and many things that should have been handled have been delayed, suppressed, and not dealt with, Gong Jin now wants to open up these staggered places in the shortest possible time, remove the dirty blood, and complete the regeneration of the empire.

In order to achieve this ideal, since entering the central capital, Gong Jin has been in a state of almost sleeplessness, staying in the newly established prime minister's mansion all day long, and sending out one order after another. No matter day or night, Generalissimo Zhou could be seen buried in the pile of official documents, and the servants in the prime minister's palace were even surprised to find that they never seemed to see the marshal resting with his eyes closed.

A patient who has been ill for a long time can hardly withstand a sudden major surgery, and Gong Jin also understands this, so he doesn't dare to let go too much of whether it is personnel scheduling or reform, however, he also knows that he doesn't have much time left.

The relationship with Reynes is bad, and the cooperative relationship with the Shi family can break down at any time, even the junior brother Hülegü, who is currently on the same front as him, can't grasp his true intentions, looking forward to the future, the future of the empire is constantly worried about internal and external troubles, and if he wants to bring Altino to the light, he can only take advantage of the short time when the forces of all parties maintain balance.

For this reason, Gong Jin can only try his best to race against time, Rao is his superb internal skills, and he has hardly slept and rested after entering the Central Capital, but in just a few days, the whole person has lost a lot of weight. Although it was not a good time to start a war, he still wanted to start using troops for the sake of the agreement he had made.

'Reorganize the Shi family's troops outside the central capital, and open towards the north gate, and move quickly. ’

For the disposal of the Shi family's troops, Gong Jin in principle went in two directions. Those who had no bad records or were forcibly recruited into the army at the beginning, transferred to other group armies, or allowed to voluntarily retire and return to their hometowns, and those who were more senior officers were reorganized and turned into a special unit to attack Reyns.

These people have been deeply polluted by the Shi family, and even if they stay in Altino, they will only become a factor of instability in law and order in the future. Send them to battle, their murderous surnames are good for battle, and, even if the whole army is annihilated, there is no loss to us. ’

Shi Chong's internal strength and mental method passed on to the cadres in the family, if practiced for a long time, the surname will gradually become cruel and violent, and eventually unable to extricate himself. Shi Chong used this to control the cadres in the family, and if he stopped practicing and cooperated with long-term treatment, he could be cured, but Gongjin did not have such a spare, and at the same time, he did not want these unstable factors that would explode at any time to become Altino's hidden crisis.

'Marshal Zhou is quite insightful, but who are you calling us? Don't you think this is very debatable?'

Shi Chong was imprisoned, although Dolgon's martial arts were high, he did not have the talent of military and political management, and he was responsible for integrating the Shi family's forces and coordinating with Gongjin. With the help of the demonic physique, it was not long before the battle of the Imperial City, and the serious injuries he suffered were completely healed, much faster than Dorgon.

Shi Junhou is currently busy eating prison food, although he has heard that the food tastes good, but he hopes that the partner can do the least integrity. At present, since the two sides are cooperating happily, don't make any small moves in secret, at least ...... Don't secretly ally cooperate with a third party, or even secretly leak information about allies. ’

'This sentence is written on the wall of the prison, how about giving Shi Chong a motto?'

Neither Hua Tianxie nor Gong Jin has a good impression of each other, and neither is satisfied with each other's style, but neither of them tries to hide this. Their partnership is not based on friendship and affection, and for now, honesty is the best way to maintain this balance.

'The Shi family's army, I will unify, in order to save time, I and Teacher Dolgon will lead the team to set off today, absorbing the Shi family's military strength in various places along the way, and by the time we arrive at the North Gate Tianguan, it should be almost there. ’

Hua Tian smiled evilly: "However, when it comes to the official start of the war, it is better to change the commander, after all...

... My record at the North Gate Tianguan is not good!'

Gong Jin didn't answer, just looked at the man in front of him coldly, wanting to see how much he had changed after the first battle in the imperial city.

The blow that Amakusa Shiro struck before he died, it was impossible to waste it in vain, he must have done something, passed on his merits, or was it something else? Amakusa Shiro's cultivation of the Saitian position was a force that was enough to drastically affect the current situation, and if Hua Tianyi inherited something from his side, this matter should not be taken lightly.

But for now, at least, little has changed. Except for the rapid recovery of the injury, no matter the eyes, strength, demeanor, including the temperament on the body, there is no change from before. But it is undeniable that compared with two years ago, Hua Tianxie is now very different from that time.

I see. Combat preparations will be implemented according to the plan, after arriving at the North Gate Tianguan, you don't need to rush to provoke the Reyns army, the basic goal is just a confrontation, and after that, there will be a second step of reinforcements towards the North Gate Tianguan. ’

Gong Jin spread out the military map on the table, pointing to the places along the way, how to absorb local military strength, and what the proportion should be, while explaining the strategy of the book.

"I heard that absorbing human lives and grievances can boost personal cultivation?" Plainly speaking, I don't mind if you do it again at the North Gate Tianguan, anyway, these people ...... No loss for me. ’

'Heh, it's boring to do the same thing twice, but ...... It's a real honor for me to have such an honest partner. Hua Tian said evilly: "Then, the final decisive battle location is......

"For now, you just need to lure the eyes of the Reines side first, and steer them in this direction, although this is a ploy, but it is more difficult for them to notice, and after that, the final decisive battle will be ......

Gong Jin's finger moved to a certain place on the map, and after stopping, he clicked a few points heavily.

'Right here!'

Hua Tianxie and Dolgon led their troops out of the city on the same day, and since this matter was not deliberately hidden, it immediately spread to all parts of the Wind Continent, including the North Gate Tianguan at the forefront of the front.

'It's nerve-wracking, although it's impossible to keep this kind of thing secret, but it's hard not to doubt that it's so obvious that it's like fanfare!'

Gengoro, who received the news, began to study and judge, but it was another person who was directly affected.

'It's really unlucky, I just said that there might be a war, and it really started, and when the Shi family's army arrives, it's not easy for you to sneak out. ’

Different from the usual atmosphere, Youxue was quite silent and didn't say anything, from this reaction, Hao Kelian knew what to say.

'Husband Shet, do you know what the most cunning creature in the world is?'

'Hmm...... It's human, isn't it?'

It's only half right, the right answer...... It's a man. ’

Hao Kelian clasped her hands around her calves, as if joking, and said, "Someone once told me before he died that every man in this world will deceive people, especially the better he looks, the more he will deceive women. ’

'Well, it seems like I've heard the exact opposite somewhere......

So the woman doesn't have to be polite, just be bold and deceive back, because ...... Even if you don't get deceived, you must be separated in the end. No matter how good the relationship is, lovers, relatives, friends, husbands...... In the end, it is always the woman who will leave the woman behind and cry because of their reasons, and it is always the woman who cries when they are abandoned. ’

Without warning, Hao Kelian said these words that did not suit her style of action as if she was giving a life testimonial, and she was stunned when she heard it, and said, "What...... How can there be such a thing? It's all bad women cheating on good men, how can you, a super black widow who dumped more than a hundred men, have a chance to be abandoned by men? If you want to lie, you can say it like a little, this kind of thing...

... This kind of thing ......'

"Do you think I'm lying to you......" Hao Kelian smiled slightly and asked, "What about you?

'I ......'

The words he was about to say were pressed back with a finger.

'Don't speak, you're the only man I know who hasn't lied to me yet, don't break this record easily, thank you. ’

With such words as a farewell word, it should be quite appropriate, Hao Kelian turned her wrist, and she had already sealed the acupoint of the Xuete people, and followed the loud voice.

"If you want to do it, don't put it off, otherwise I'll treat it as if it's okay, let's say goodbye!"

Unable to detect the enemy's position, Hao Kelian did not dare to act rashly, lest she suffer a surprise attack, and after being seriously injured, she was even more powerless to escape, so it was better to wait for the enemy to appear or strike first, but there was an opportunity.

It was Nier who appeared first, and Hao Kelian had been vaguely aware of it before, but it was still after she appeared that she could confirm the location. Judging from the cultivation of Tianxin Consciousness, the two of them are just ordinary levels, and they are not the excellent type.

'Bad woman, stop, don't run for me!'

'I'm so sorry, I don't want to do it with my little sister!'

There was no intention of making a move at all, Hao Kelian retreated, and she regretted it a little in her heart, she seemed to have been too lax and vigilant recently, like today, not even in the shadows, but directly appeared in a big way, waiting for the Xuete people to appear in the agreed place.

Gengoro is a powerful character, he still can't find out his existence, and when he finally sends out a thunderous blow, he may not be able to take it, so, in order to be able to get out safely, which hole card should be opened in the usual preparation?

Ni'er didn't wait to get close, and the Heavenly Demon Blade's energy swung out in a series of airs to block the enemy's escape speed. Hao Kelian is naturally not stupid enough to pick it up, but the dense knife strength, like maggots attached to the bone, also makes her have no gaps to take advantage of.

If you fall into a head-to-head duel, you will be in trouble, Hao Kelian, who has no intention of fighting for a long time, turned around in the air twice, spun around, flew to Youxue's side, and patted him lightly on the shoulder.

'Hello Yuxue husband, your spicy companion is so fierce!'

With a flick of his finger on his shoulder, he had already untied his sealed acupoint, and Youxue immediately moved.

'Hey, you're ......'

This move has an impact. When Hao Kelian got close to Youxue, Nier was extremely confident in the control of her knife strength, and the two Heavenly Demon Knife Strength were still swinging out, who knew that Youxue suddenly moved, for fear of accidental injury, she hurriedly used two stronger Heavenly Demon Knife Strength, the last to come first, and shattered the knife strength that was swung before.

After such a delay, Hao Kelian had already taken off, threw Nier off, and turned to meet the little Tianxing Finger who intercepted her.

Gengoro's Tianxin consciousness is the best in the same level, when Hao Kelian noticed it, his fingers were already close, but this change was still expected, and he had to get out as soon as possible, otherwise Jiuyao would be able to officially exert his power quickly, and it would be difficult to leave.

"It's not a bad idea to pick a place where I can't find hostages to threaten, but since I want to do it, who can I keep with such a trivial trick?"

Hit in the back by Xiao Tianxing's fingers, Hao Kelian's body was stunned and already injured, but her decision bought time, allowing her to avoid Gengoro's subsequent attacks, and when she retreated, she was able to taunt.

I don't dare to do it, but I'm afraid that if you take off my clothes again, Miss Nill will break me to pieces." ’

Without using the most lethal Hoshino Tenhe Sword, Gengoro's Little Celestial Star Finger could only lightly wound the enemy, and this was not unexpected.

'And, start laughing at the hunters, and laugh when you're really gone......

Seeing that Gengoro didn't chase after him, Hao Kelian already felt bad, and the alarm in her heart suddenly rose, and there was already thunder in the air.

"I'm sorry, beauty, in addition to delivery, you have to be a killer occasionally to maintain face!"

The purple electric magic of the Medici family, combined with the thunder sword, was full of lightning, and the thunder increased its power, and Han Te was looking at the enemy's flaws, and 'brushed' the two swords, forcing the enemy to be in a hurry and unable to parry.

Seeing this sudden enemy, Hao Kelian seemed to be very surprised, shocked, even her movements were not as agile as usual, and she soon had a few more wounds on her body.

'Everybody is on people's salaries, so why work so hard? Surrender quickly, and sit down and have a drink. ’

'Who's going to drink your stuff......'

Perhaps because of the injury, this charming woman lost the mood of always flirting with opponents with male surnames, and after a few moves, Han Te suddenly had a very wrong feeling.

(This woman...... It seems a bit ...... ）

I can't say what it feels like, the next move, when Han Te's purple electric sword stabbed past, Hao Kelian raised his left arm suddenly, and Ren Feng's sharp blade penetrated his left wrist, and the blood splashed everywhere, which had effectively clamped down the Thunder Sword.
