Chapter 199: Nangong Yi and Cao Li

"Brother, although Brother Ye left you, it makes you feel very sad. But I hope you understand that in this world, there are far more people who care about you, Brother Ye. Your sorrow, your pain, your loneliness, I know it very well. Because we have so much in common. Neither of you and I are the natives of this world, although we were born thousands of years away, but after all, we are all in the same world, born in the same land, and as the messengers of the underworld, we came to this strange world!"

"I hope you understand, brother, that in this world, you don't have to feel lonely, because of my company! You don't have to feel depressed, because of my comfort! You don't have to feel afraid, because no matter what happens in the future, I will depend on you for life and death, and never give up!"

"That's right, brother, as long as you are by my side, why be afraid?" Xiao Chen burst into tears at this time.

"All right, my good brother. As much as I would like to help you more, unfortunately my abilities are limited. I know that you have an unusually benevolent heart, but I hope that you will turn this benevolent heart into a strong heart! Brother, you must understand that from now on, I am afraid that you will encounter more setbacks and tribulations, and if you do not have a strong heart, you will be completely defeated!"

"Thank you brother for your teachings!" Xiao Chen finally lifted his once depressed head, and his bright eyes once again regained the color of hope.

"I'm relieved to do this!Brother, I'm tired, it's time to rest!" Song Jingang's figure, who was finally relieved, slowly faded, and he finally returned to Xiao Chen's phantom sea again.

Xiao Chen, who was full of gratitude, walked gently towards Nangong Lin, waiting for the other party to wake up. Fortunately, the wait didn't last long.

"Xiao Chen, what happened just now?" Nangong Lin opened his eyes.

"Nothing. Erxiaojie, you are so tired that you fell asleep inadvertently just now. It's time to go home!" Xiao Chen said with a smile.

"Oh, I see!" Nangong Lin nodded. Although the other party's words were extremely clumsy, Nangong Lin didn't want to be serious with him at all. Because he is his favorite person, because he is the person he trusts the most. More because he can see that the incomparably sincere smile can return to his face again!

That's enough, isn't it?

When the bright red of the east drove away the dark fog and appeared in the sky. Nangong Yi, the head of the Nangong family, had already finished grooming and dressing up with the help of the servants. Today, he is going to do a big thing, if he can persuade that group of officials and soldiers to submit to my Nangong family, it will definitely add a big boost to my Nangong family's future competition for the world.

This trip can only be successful, not failure! Nangong took a long breath and unconsciously clenched his fists. "Big brother!" a slight call sounded behind Nangong Yi.

"It's you!Third brother!Why did you get up so early?" An extremely familiar voice, even if Nangong Yi didn't look back, he could know who that person was.

"It's not that I got up early, it's that I didn't sleep at all last night!" Nangong Xiong slowly paced in front of Nangong Yi. At this time, he was dressed in a black purple and gold suit, although he hadn't slept all night, but the whole person looked extremely energetic, and his eyebrows were filled with a heroic air that was proud of the world.

"You, you!" Nangong Yi shook his head helplessly, "Conquering this group of officers and soldiers is just a small episode of my Nangong family's struggle for the world, just such a small scene, you don't sleep all night?

"Big brother taught me!" Nangong Xiong nodded repeatedly. But the smile between the eyebrows is even worse! I hope that the so-called General Cao Shen is a stubborn tendon who does not enter oil and salt, so that the Xuan Ming Army, which I have been training hard for many years, can finally have a time to show their skills.

"Don't giggle! If you're ready, let's go!" Nangong Yi sighed. As Nangong Xiong's brother, how can he not know what this brother of his heart really thinks?

In that valley ten miles away from Tianxin City, there was a military camp of the Great Yan Kingdom. This is exactly where General Cao Li and Cao Counselor garrisoned. And today, Nangong Yi, who was dressed in white, only brought a servant who pushed a wheelchair for himself to come here, in order to reassure Cao Li, Nangong Yi specially brought this extremely short and extremely thin servant. It's early in the morning, when the army is drilling. Piles of well-dressed soldiers were meticulously practicing. These soldiers were all strong and strong, and their eyes were piercing.

They lined up in a neat phalanx, and their movements were uniform. Every move and style has a faint sense of slaughter. "Nangong Gongzi, I welcome you on behalf of our General Cao!" The one who came to the camp gate to greet Nangong Yi was Fu Gong, Cao Li's most relied on thinker. Fu Gong was secretly surprised, he couldn't imagine that the contemporary head of the Nangong family was actually such a handsome and young person. Being able to come to the barracks alone, with this courage, is also rare among the younger generation.

"It's just a pity..."Fu Gong looked at the wheelchair under Nangong Yi and showed a disdainful smile.

"You're welcome!" Nangong Yi smiled faintly. His attention was already drawn to the soldiers. Looking at this group of soldiers who were exercising, there was a faint excitement in my heart. He understood that if he could persuade that Cao Shen to return to Nangong Mansion, these soldiers would definitely become a great help for him to fight for the world.

"Nangong Gongzi, what do you think of our soldiers?" Fu Gong asked proudly.

"A hundred battles!" Nangong Yi said lightly. Although the surface was relatively calm, Nangong Yi's heart was very surprised, and he felt a strong murderous aura from these soldiers. And this kind of murderous aura cannot be trained no matter how much it is trained, only those who have passed the test of blood and fire will have it.

No matter how hard a soldier is, at best, he can only be called an elite soldier with orderly training! And only a soldier who has been tempered by the fire of war is qualified to be called a fierce soldier! A fierce soldier that no fierce enemy dares to underestimate!

"Nangong Gongzi, good eyesight!" Fu Gong was also taken aback. This contemporary head of the Nangong family is really not simple.

The largest tent in the barracks is, of course, the main tent where General Cao Shen is located. Cao Shen, who was dressed in silver armor, carefully looked at the young man in front of him and said nothing. And Fu Gong also quietly retreated at this time. Of course, Nangong Yi's servant also quietly retreated outside the tent.

"My name is Nangong Yi, the contemporary head of the Nangong family!" Nangong Yi nodded at Cao Li with a smile. Cao Li still stared at Nangong Yi coldly, without saying a word. Nangong Yi, on the other hand, shrugged indifferently.

Suddenly, Cao Li strode towards Nangong Yi. As soon as he heard the sound of 'Cangchang', Cao Li pulled out the sharp sword at his waist and slashed it down facing Nangong Yi. A cold white light flashed, and the sharp blade slid down against the tip of Nangong Yi's nose, but the expected scream did not appear.

"Nangong Gongzi, I'm driving away pesky flies for you!" Cao Li smiled. At his feet, a poor fly was already in two places.

"I know!" Nangong Yi gently pushed away the cold light blade in front of the tip of his nose, "Compared to mine, it's really a good sword!" Nangong Yi also pulled out his own sword from the scabbard, which was also cold. But compared with Cao Li's, the color is much darker, and there are even a few rust spots. It seems that Nangong Yi's saber has not been unsheathed and maintained for a long time.

"A weapon is not just an object, it is a brother who shares life and death with the user, and cherishes it as if it were his own life. Only in the hands of those who know how to love it can it be called a divine soldier, otherwise, how different is it from a stubborn iron?" Cao Li put the sword into the sheath, and the disdain in his eyes could not be concealed, what kind of bullshit Nangong family?

"Taught!" In the face of Cao Li's ridicule, Nangong Yi's face was still unshocked.

"Nangong family master, your Nangong family dares to kill the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, do you know what a great crime this is? Killing the officials and soldiers of the imperial court is a rebellion!" Cao Li suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly. Give the other party a dismount first, and then suppress the other party, so as to occupy a certain advantage for yourself in the next negotiations.

"As an official soldier, it is also a capital crime to plunder and slaughter the people! General Cao, do you understand?" But Nangong Yi was not intimidated by Cao Li's momentum at all.

"Nangong Family Master, what do you think of these brothers under me?" Cao Li asked with a gloomy face.

"A hundred battles!" Nangong Yi yawned.

"Good insight!" Cao Li's face appeared with a smile.

"It's just a bit of a pity!"

"What a pity?"

"What is an official army? An officer or an army should crisscross the battlefield, expel foreign criminals from the outside, and protect the family and the people from the inside. Look at your deeds. How different is it from those bandits?" Nangong Yi smiled, but there was a hint of mockery in his smile.

"Bold!" Cao Li was completely furious.

"Isn't it?" Nangong Yi still looked relaxed at this time.

"Bastard. Nangong boy, do you think I am willing to do this? As a soldier, who doesn't want to gallop on the battlefield and stain his battle robe with blood? Even if the horse leather shroud is returned in the end, it will be famous in history and admired by all the people. It was like now, being sent to such a poor and remote country, where there was no food to eat, and no clothing to cover the body. Do you know that the imperial court has not paid food and wages for several years, and does not plunder the people? What do I and my brethren live on?"

"In order to survive, I understand that I want to plunder some supplies, but why do you want to kill people and set fires, rape and plunder?"

"If there is any living mouth, once the court learns about it, my brothers and I will die. What's more, Young Master Nangong, I'm afraid you don't have a battlefield, do you know? If the soldiers are not bloodthirsty and have no wildness. That is only a lamb to the slaughter in the face of the enemy!"

"I have no choice but to do this! I know that this is what I owe to the people of Dayan Kingdom! If I have the opportunity in the future, I, Cao Li, will definitely pay back a hundred times!" Cao Li gritted his teeth.

"It seems that General Cao's way of leading troops is very unique?" Nangong Yi stared at Cao Li's eyes for a long time before saying, "However, General Cao, you didn't invite me here specifically to listen to your talk, right?"

"The head of the Nangong family, he is really a smart person!" Cao Li smiled, he opened his right hand, and it was finally time for a showdown!

"Fifty thousand taels, fifty thousand taels of silver with white flowers! As long as Nangong Gongzi can give my dead brothers fifty thousand taels, I will never mention this matter again!"

Cao Li guessed that 50,000 taels would never be agreed to by the other party. However, bargaining on the spot is the only rule of negotiation. This allows you to always take the initiative in the negotiations.

Nangong Yi smiled and smiled meaningfully, "Fifty thousand taels may be a big number in the eyes of others, but to my Nangong family, it is nothing at all." General Cao, as long as you promise me one condition, don't say 50,000 taels, 100,000 taels is not a problem. ”

"What conditions?" Cao Li's body shook.

"It's very simple, as long as General Cao is willing to lead your brothers to join our Nangong family, and swear to be loyal to our Nangong family forever, and obey my Nangong family. Don't talk about money, I will meet all your requirements!"

"Nangong Yi, what do you want to do? Want us to join your Nangong family, do you know that we are official soldiers? Turn the official army of the Great Yan Kingdom into your Nangong family's private army? Nangong Yi, do you know, what are you talking about?" Cao Li asked coldly.

"What about the officers and soldiers? What about the private army? General Cao, would you rather be an officer and soldier who has no food and no clothes? Or would you like to be the private army of my Nangong family who has no worries about food and clothing?"

"Nangong Family's Private Army, Nangong Yi, although your Nangong family is one of the four major families of the Great Yan Kingdom, it is prestigious. But he is still a courtier of the Great Yan Kingdom, let me ask you, as a courtier of the Great Yan Kingdom, what are you going to do with the establishment of a private army?

Nangong Yi stared at the furious Cao Li like this, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh, "What is a rebellion? General Cao, presumably you are also clear about the current situation in my Great Yan Kingdom." In my Great Yan Kingdom, there are strong men outside, traitors are in charge inside, wars are continuous, and the people are not happy. And above the temple, those who are high in power do not want to forge ahead, but only draw the days of drunken gold. In the long run, the Great Yan Kingdom is about to die!" "Nonsense, the reason why my Great Yan Kingdom is like this is only because His Majesty is still young and still at the age of greedy play. In a few years, if Your Majesty takes care of it, is willing to work hard, and works hard, he will definitely be able to remove all kinds of drawbacks and create a great prosperous era!" Speaking of this, Cao Li's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation!

"General Cao! Don't lie to yourself anymore! Do you know how old I am this year? Let me tell you, although I Nangong Yi is not talented, but I have wasted 25 years of time, I remember when my father passed on the position of head of the family to me, it was five years ago! What makes Nangong Yi proud is that although his father is not around, Nangong Yi has finally lived up to the trust and kept the huge Nangong family in good order, and has not lived up to my father's expectations and has not insulted the prestige of my Nangong family!"

"But General Cao, how old is that Your Majesty who you have infinite hopes for this year? Let me tell you, he is already a full twenty-three this year, if he is still young and playful at this age, and he has achieved nothing, then he is doomed to be just a wreck in this life! Although Nangong Yi is not talented, he can proudly say that compared to my Nangong Yi, he Murong Yan is just a useless straw bag!"

"Bold Nangong Yi, how dare you insult Your Majesty like this?" Cao Li was furious, 'rubbed' the ground, and pulled out the cold blade that was dangling again, and put it on Nangong Yi's neck.

"Nangong Yi, you'd better retract what you just said, otherwise, I can't guarantee whether your head will still be able to stay on your neck!"

In the face of the threat of the murderous Cao Li, Nangong Yi was still calm, he gently clamped the blade that could kill him at any time with two fingers, "General Cao, you must also understand that if the Great Yan Kingdom is destroyed, it will be those many innocent people who will suffer the most. To prevent this from happening. At this critical moment, our Nangong family can only come forward to fight the unjustified and return the people's well-being! What is a rebellion against such a righteous act? General Cao, I can assure you that as long as my Nangong family gains the world, we will go to corrupt officials, kill corrupt officials, reuse virtuous people, and practice the way of strengthening the country and enriching the people. And by that time, you, General Cao, will be the founding minister of the country!"

"Bold Nangong Yi. As a person of the Great Yan Kingdom, he should be loyal to the country. Even if the court is unreasonable, you can't be disloyal to the court. Okay, you Nangong family, trying to rebel, and since ancient times, rebellion is a crime of great rebellion, and it should be the Nine Clans! I killed you!"
