Chapter 252: A Gentleman's Word

Shi Ziling was originally a little worried that Nangong Xia would be angry because of Ma Yu's fooling, but seeing Nangong Xia calmly confessing his selfishness, he finally put his mind at ease.

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "I sincerely admire you kid, our cooperation is quite pleasant, I believe that if you dominate the world in the future, you should not do that kind of thing of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." ”

Shi Ziling was a little stunned and said: "We are still undecided against Li Yuan now, how can the predecessors talk about the matter of dominating the world? You should know that I have no ambition to dominate the world." ”

Nangong Xia Ha said with a smile: "Since our current total strength is not inferior to Li Yuan, and we have the advantage of attacking from front to back, plus Yanzhao Pass, Mijing City and Black Dragon City and other important towns in the northwest are all in our hands, Li Yuan is in a dilemma, how can he be invincible?"

"As for dominating the world, it is a matter of course for the destiny of heaven, our five great families have been intriguing for hundreds of years and cannot get it, but once you are born, this kid has already shown signs of dominance, if the destiny is like this, how can you shirk it?"

Shi Ziling doesn't have much interest in being the king and hegemonic, but at this time, it's not good to sweep Nangong Xia's prosperity too much, it's rare that Nangong Xia is confident and willing to do his best, which is also a good thing for the next big war. He smiled and said: "Senior, the matter of hegemony is still far away, let's wait until Li Yuan wins first." ”

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "It's good to make some things clear earlier." I know that our Nangong family does not have the ability to dominate the world, and I was originally very optimistic about Li Yuan, so I never dared to offend him. Who knew that this guy of yours suddenly appeared, and he had already made a name for himself in a short period of time, and now he has a better chance to completely defeat Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop. ”

"You also know that the next decisive battle of the Dao Dao will be tragic, if our Nangong family helps you remove the biggest obstacle to hegemony, I don't know how you will treat me as a good ally in the future......?"

Shi Ziling was stunned, he didn't expect Nangong Xia to suddenly discuss with him at this time about the distribution of benefits after achieving great things in the future, which was really unexpected by him. Shi Ziling said with a little embarrassment: "Senior, no one knows what will happen to the Dao in the future, is it too early for us to say this?"

Nangong Xia Zhengse said: "I just saw that your kid was quite kind, so I took this opportunity to be open and honest with you." Now that the Xiahou family has been defeated, as long as we defeat Li Yuan's army, the rest of Tang Jingtian and the imperial court are not worried. I have self-knowledge, our Nangong family will not compete with you for the world, as long as you are kind enough to my ally in the future. ”

Seeing Nangong Xia's solemn appearance, Shi Ziling understood a little, it turned out that Nangong Xia wanted to make a promise to the future before the decisive battle with Li Yuan's army.

Shi Ziling was somewhat crying and laughing, although he had thought of reunifying the Mingyue Continent with his own strength, so that the people could live a long and stable life, but he really did not have the idea of being called the emperor, and he did not yearn for being the emperor in his heart after two thousand years.

But seeing that Nangong Xia was looking at him, obviously expecting that he could make a promise as soon as possible to ensure the future development of the Nangong family, Shi Ziling didn't know what to do for a while.

Nangong Xia's alliance is obviously very utilitarian, and the purpose is naturally to leave a stable development space for the future Nangong family, Shi Ziling understands that even if he confesses to Nangong Xia at this time that he has no intention of calling himself the king and emperor, he is afraid that Nangong Xia will not believe it, and it will only damage the good relationship between the two in front of him.

Now is the most critical moment to defeat Li Yuan's army, every step is extremely important, Nangong Xia Xuan raised this topic at this time, he is really a cunning old fox. Shi Ziling thought about it, and finally smiled bitterly: "Senior, if I tell you that I actually have no heart to be called a king or an emperor, do you believe it?"

Nangong Xia's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "I have already said that sometimes those who achieve great things are destined by heaven and cannot help themselves. I just want to know what Lu Dao will do to our Nangong family if you achieve great things one day. ”

Shi Ziling had no choice but to say: "Since the seniors must talk about this topic, well, if one day I really achieve great things, I will naturally be grateful to everyone who has helped me, let alone a good ally like the seniors." I can guarantee that as long as I am an ally for one day, your Nangong family will always have a place on the Bright Moon Continent, and you will never allow other families to bully and plunder your inheritance wealth. ”

Nangong Xia was overjoyed, grabbed Shi Ziling's arm and shook it: "Good boy, what I want is your words, so that the future of our Nangong family will not have to worry......! A gentleman's word!"

"Huh?"

Shi Ziling didn't react for a while, and Nangong Xia repeated again: "A gentleman's word!" and raised his right palm at the same time.

"Ah, the horses are hard to chase!"

Shi Ziling finally understood, stretched out his palm and struck Nangong Xia's right palm hard.

Nangong Xia Ha laughed and seemed to be in an extremely happy mood, but Shi Ziling couldn't cry or laugh a little, and complained: "Senior, you are forcing me to be the emperor's dream! We are now uncertain about the future, but you forced me to make such a promise early, if it is known by outsiders, it will be ridiculed!"

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "My old man's vision will never be wrong, you will definitely be able to achieve great things, and this world will be yours sooner or later! You can rest assured, with your promise today, my Narcissus Legion is bound to fight with Li Yuan's army to the last soldier, and we must win this crucial battle! Li Yuan, a peerless hero, has met you, the nemesis, and I can only blame him for his bad luck, Ha Lu Ha ......"

Although Shi Ziling knew that Dao Dao was an excellent opportunity to defeat Li Yuan's army, he also knew that his side did not have an absolute advantage in strength, and Li Yuan would never be willing to be captured. Once this battle starts, it is bound to be very difficult, and if there is a slight mistake on his side, he may be overturned by Li Yuan at any time.

The two immediately discussed the details of bypassing the Longma Road and taking the rear camp of Li Yuan's army, Nangong Xia said: "Since you and the Xiahou family have already made a plan for this operation, then implement it according to your plan." Your Songhu Legion and I immediately divided into two routes, one left and one right, to bypass the Longma Road and go north, and it is expected that we will be able to arrive in two days. After that, we spent a day or so making all preparations and adjustments, and launched the general attack on time in the early morning of the third day. ”

Shi Ziling said: "At that time, I will lead a special attack division to attack Li Yuan's camp from the front, and let Wei Hu lead 15,000 people to attack Li Yuan's rear camp from the left side, and the attack on the right side will be handed over to the Narcissus Army of the predecessors." In addition, if Xue Zhengyang, who was in ambush on Longma Road, leads his troops to retreat and rush back to the rescue, I will let the Duanmu brothers lead 20,000 horses to intercept them on the spot. ”

Nangong Xia said: "Now everything has been arranged, Li Yuan has been attacked by the enemy this time, and there is no absolute advantage in terms of troops, as long as we cooperate tacitly, we will be able to achieve a big victory." I think after this battle, Li Yuan's Tongtian Sect should almost be finished, hehe......"

Shi Ziling nodded and said: "I hope so, but although we have the advantage in the situation, the actual battle must be very difficult, I think we still have to be more careful......"

After finalizing all the details of the joint attack, the two of them immediately began to act separately, Nangong Xia led the Narcissus Legion to the right road over the mountains and mountains to the rear of Longma Road, and Wei Song and Duanmu brothers on the Shiziling side also took 35,000 men and horses to the left road and detoured to the rear of Longma Road. Shiziling returned to Black Dragon City the same way.

Of course, at night, Shi Ziling took advantage of the night to sneak back to Longma Road again, because he had been back and forth several times, he was already more familiar with the road of Longma Road, although Xue Zhengyang set up a large number of ambushes on the slopes on both sides of the road, but Shi Ziling relied on his superb martial arts strength, or unconsciously quietly crossed Longma Road, and came to the rear camp of Li Yuan's army again.

As soon as he infiltrated the back camp of Li Yuan's army, he immediately felt something unusual, it seemed that the entire camp was extremely empty, except for a small number of soldiers who stayed behind, most of the men and horses were not in the camp.

Shi Ziling was slightly surprised in his heart, it was obvious that Li Yuan had realized the danger of being attacked on his back, and decided to use Black Dragon City as a breakthrough point, bringing almost all the men and horses to Black Dragon City, and launched a strong attack on Black Dragon City in turn.

Shi Ziling was afraid that Black Dragon City would be lost, so he hurriedly sped up and rushed forward. When he passed through the entire camp, he heard the sound of shouting and killing in the distance, and in the light of countless torches, the men and horses of Li Yuan's army lined up in front of the Black Dragon City, and countless cloud ladders were set up on the walls of the Black Dragon City, and groups of soldiers were struggling to climb up the city tower on the cloud ladders.

And at the gate of the city, a large number of soldiers braved the rain of flying stones and arrows from the city tower, carrying the special raft wood for the siege of the city and violently hitting the gate of the Black Dragon City.

At this moment, there were deafening cheers from the Li Yuan camp in front of Black Dragon City, and countless soldiers raised their arms and cheered towards the top of the city tower.

Shi Ziling looked from afar, and saw that under the light of the torches above and below the city tower, a man in brocade was deftly jumping on several cloud ladders, jumping quickly among the flying stones and rolling trees that were constantly falling, and soon he had easily climbed the tower of Black Dragon City.

Although they were far away, looking at the posture of this brocade-clothed man, Shi Ziling recognized at a glance that it must be Li Yuan, the leader of the Tongtian Sect, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, he couldn't imagine that Li Yuan would personally lead the team to attack the city overnight in the rain of flying stones and arrows.

Shi Ziling was very cautious when he passed through the enemy camp back and forth this time, for fear that Li Yuan would know that he had left Black Dragon City, and he didn't expect Li Yuan to finally attack the city in person.
