Chapter 270: Handing over power

Xiahou Yuan's father and son watched the victory scene of the coalition army breaking Li Yuan's army on the city tower, and they couldn't help but burst into tears, Xiahou Yuan sighed: "I really didn't expect Li Yuan's end to come so quickly, this battle is really beautiful!"

Xiahou Feiyang said excitedly: "This is really retribution coming quickly! Li Yuan was bent on annexing us, but even he himself lost it.

Bai Wuya said with a smile: "My good son-in-law is really a genius in using soldiers, I don't know what happened to the duel between him and Li Yuan." It's too far away from Ryoma Road to see clearly, so let's go out of town and have a look. ”

Xiahou Yuan said with a smile: "Brother Bai, you don't have to worry, your good son-in-law must have won, otherwise Li Yuan would have returned to the battlefield to clean up the mess." Now that Li Yuan's army is almost completely wiped out, and Li Yuan is nowhere to be found, is he defeated or what? I only hope that Ziling can kill Li Yuan on the spot, otherwise there will always be trouble. ”

Bai Wuya thought about it, so he asked Xiahou Yuan what to do now, Xiahou Yuan smiled: "Of course, the city gate is opened to welcome Ziling and their triumphant return, I will order my men to prepare a banquet, and we will have a whole city to celebrate, and celebrate the defeat of Li Yuan's army, Ha Lu Ha ......."

However, until Xiahou Yuan's father and son arranged the celebration properly, they still didn't see Shi Ziling leading the army back, and everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised. Bai Wuya said: "How did Ziling do it, why didn't he come back to celebrate when he won a big victory?

Xiahou Yuan's father and son were also unpredictable, how could they not have imagined that Shi Ziling was alone on the small hillside on the side of Longma Road to refine the divine power of the Heaven Turning Seal.

Xiahou Yuan said: "Now that the battlefield has calmed down, the remnants of Li Yuan's army have fled in all directions, and the combined forces of the Songhu Legion and the Narcissus Legion are concentrated near Longma Road and seem to be waiting for something, could it be that Ziling was seriously injured?

Bai Wuya hurriedly said: "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and take a look! Maybe Li Yuangou jumped over the wall in a hurry and really injured Ziling, otherwise they have no reason to stay in Longma Road all the time!"

Just when Bai Wuya and the others were anxious to rush to Longma Road to check out, the combined forces of Shi Ziling and Nangong Xia finally began their journey back to Black Dragon City.

Xiahou Yuan's father and son and others saw that they hurriedly opened the city gate and came out from afar, and when they came forward to take a look, they saw Shi Ziling and Nangong Xia riding side by side, and the two of them were talking and laughing with everyone on the horse, and there was no sign of injury, and they couldn't help but be very strange.

Bai Wuya patted his horse and took a closer look at Shi Ziling, and asked, "Good son-in-law, are you really not injured?"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, my son-in-law is not injured." This time it was quite smooth, and Li Yuan's army was defeated in one fell swoop, and the good record was even a little unexpected for me. ”

Xiahou Yuan stepped forward and asked, "Since you are not injured Ziling, why did you stay in Longma Road for so long?

Shi Ziling said with some embarrassment: "After I defeated Li Yuan, I have been practicing on the small hillside next to Longma Road, which makes everyone worried. Li Yuan was seriously injured and had already fled in the direction of Yanzhao Pass. ”

Then Shi Ziling briefly told the story of the matter, and introduced Nangong Xia to Xiahou Yuan and his son.

Xiahou Yuan's father and son were relieved to hear that Li Yuan had been seriously injured and fled, while Shi Ziling was not injured. Although it is a little regrettable that Shi Ziling was not able to kill Li Yuan on the spot, it is already very ideal to achieve such a result.

For Nangong Xia, Xiahou Yuan's father and son are also quite grateful, they can see that the combat strength of the Narcissus Legion is weak, if it weren't for Nangong Xia's desperate support to stabilize the situation, today's battle situation may not be able to achieve such a perfect victory.

Xiahou Yuan's father and son hurriedly thanked Nangong Xia, and then welcomed everyone into the Black Dragon City and began the celebration of the whole city.

At the celebration banquet, Xiahou Yuan once again expressed his heartfelt thanks to Shi Ziling, Nangong Xia and others. Xiahou Yuan said: "Our Xiahou family has been planning for many years, and we thought that this year was a good opportunity to dominate the world, but who knew that not only was it not the opponent of Li Yuan's army, but it almost ended up with a tragic ending of ruining the family. ”

"Thanks to Ziling and Brother Nangong, they sent troops thousands of miles to rescue, and defeated Li Yuan's army in one fell swoop, avenging my Xiahou family, and also preserving the century-old foundation of my Xiahou family. This grace and virtue are unforgettable!"

Saying that, Xiahou Yuan led the clansmen to Shiziling and Nangong Xia to thank him deeply.

Shi Ziling and Nangong Xia hurriedly helped everyone up, and Nangong Xia smiled: "Brother Xiahou, there are always people happy and some people worried about the game of hegemony, and the matter has come to this point, you don't need to pay too much attention to the gains and losses." Ziling and I are just following the trend, and we can't talk about any great kindness. ”

"Although your Xiahou family has suffered heavy losses this time, as long as you cultivate and recuperate well, you will always have a chance to recover. In fact, our five major families have been intriguing with each other for many years, and they all want to dominate the world one day, but unfortunately people are not as good as heaven, and after all, they are still dominated by Ziling, a kid who suddenly rose to dominate. ”

"After this Northwest War, I know that I am not the material to lead the troops to fight, and it is better to be Ziling's partner honestly, so that even if Ziling achieves great things in the future, our Nangong family will always have a place, hehe......"

Xiahou Yuan sighed with deep sympathy: "Brother Nangong, you have a unique vision, and I am really to blame for completing this field." Not to mention that I am already disheartened and have no ambitions in the past, even if there is, with a genius like Ziling, our Xiahou family will never dare to make a mistake. I just want to have a place to recuperate and rejuvenate my family business, and I am satisfied. ”

Shi Ziling heard Xiahou Yuan say this, and he didn't feel easy to talk for a while, so he just smiled and said nothing on the side.

Nangong Xia glanced at Shi Ziling and said, "I don't know what Brother Xiahou plans to do next?"

Xiahou Yuan said angrily: "I said early in the morning that as long as Ziling can help me repel Li Yuan's army, our Xiahou family is willing to give up control of the north. I just want to have a place to live and recuperate, and I'm satisfied. ”

Bai Wuya persuaded: "Brother Xiahou, now that Ziling has just won the battle, he is not familiar with the northwest land, and he needs someone to help govern it. Your father and son are quite good at martial arts, so why don't you stay and help Ziling?"

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "No, absolutely not! I have a word first, no matter who helps me repel Li Yuan's army, our Xiahou family will hand over the control of the north." If you break your promise, won't you make the world laugh?"

"Besides, Ziling's martial arts strength is almost invincible, and his talent as a leader is even more convincing, and with his ability, he will definitely be able to manage the northwest land in an orderly manner. Our Xiahou family really has no intention of getting involved in the competition for hegemony anymore, and it is very satisfying to have a place to live and be self-sufficient. ”

Bai Wuya is a straight person, and when he saw Xiahou Yuan's earnest words, he didn't say anything more. In his mind, Xiahou Yuan insisted on giving up all the territory, and it seemed that he was really discouraged and his ambition was gone.

Shi Ziling and Nangong Xia looked at each other and smiled, both of them understood that Xiahou Yuan's move was to show Shi Ziling that he had no ambition to make a comeback, for fear that Shi Ziling would treat their Xiahou family as a potential opponent and cut the grass and eradicate the roots.

In fact, at this moment, the important towns of Yanzhao Pass and Black Dragon City in the north are already under the actual control of Shiziling, and Xiahou Yuan only has three or four thousand remnants in his hands, even if he has the heart, he is no longer able to control the overall situation in the north. If he reveals the slightest nostalgia and repentance, not to mention that it is useless at all, he may be killed.

Xiahou Yuan is scheming and calculating, and he is deeply aware of the way of scheming to dominate the world, so he has long thought about everything clearly, so he will definitely hand over the control of the north, and will never show any nostalgia.

Shi Ziling knew Xiahou Yuan's mind very well, and he didn't want to pretend to be polite, so he immediately said lightly: "Since the head of the Xiahou family has made up his mind, Ziling will no longer be polite. That's good, after all, the north is the foundation of the Xiahou family, you can choose any place within a radius of three hundred miles to settle down, and then slowly cultivate and recuperate. ”

Xiahou Yuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Ziling for your success! Actually, I have already thought about it early in the morning, there is a small city called Huma three hundred miles behind the Black Dragon City, although the place is small, it is quite quiet, I want to move there with three thousand remnants of the army, I don't know what you mean by Ziling?"

Bai Wuya was surprised: "Although Huma County is remote, it is a small county town with beautiful scenery, and there are many mountains, forests and lakes nearby, which is a good place for us to practice martial arts in retreat. It turns out that Brother Xiahou is going there to retire, but will it be a little too early?"

Xiahou Yuan smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Shi Ziling said indifferently: "Since the head of the Xiahou family has already planned, then it is according to what the head of the family says." Here in Black Dragon City, I will leave Wei Hu to lead the troops to guard, if there is any need, the Xiahou family master just needs to open his mouth to him. ”

Xiahou Yuan said happily: "It's rare that Ziling is refreshing, then it's a word." In fact, after this catastrophe, our Xiahou family escaped death and finally saved a foundation, and I was already very content. Although Huma County is a small place, as Brother Bai said, it is an excellent place to practice, and I hope to lead the children of my clan to practice in retreat there, and strive to carry forward the family tradition of our Xiahou family. ”

"In addition, we still have many industries in the Mingyue Continent, especially in the east and Yanjing City, there are many valuable industries, Ziling, if you have a great career in the future, please take care of our business, Ha Lu Ha ......."
