August 3, 782, was dusk. A refreshing wind blew in through the window, and General Yubayashi Yun Qianxue was the only guest in the room. He didn't turn on the lights, and sat in the darkness admiring the scenery outside the window. Since marrying Cardin, he has rarely left Daedric Castle. Leaving his charming wife to go on an envoy to an enemy country thousands of miles away, he naturally had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he experienced the feeling of being alone with melancholy.

Today has come a long way, but I do not have the slightest tiredness and sleepiness. He felt very uncertain about the tasks entrusted by the Demon God Emperor and the Black Sand Military Division. Along the way, he met the army of the Far Easterners, the huge army of banners and fields. Perhaps for the purpose of showing off their strength, the Far Easterners did not hide their military power from him. Naturally, compared to the kingdom's strict army, the team in front of them was still slightly inferior in terms of weapons and equipment, but their strong vitality made up for this shortcoming. The strong and burly body of the half-orc soldier, the sense of wildness and strength expressed by the sturdy body. An army of strong men over two meters tall made the diminutive soldiers of the kingdom feel humbled in despair. Yun Qianxue was shocked by what the barbarians had achieved in this short year.

The guard exclaimed at him: "General Yulin, if the entire Far East army is of this level, then the Far East suppression army of the kingdom will be in big trouble in the future!"

Yun Qianxue nodded, thinking, "We are facing such a barbaric and fierce race, can we really conquer them?" For the King of Light who he had never met, he intuitively felt that this person was by no means an ordinary hero. He quickly rose to prominence in the wilderness, defeating Wang ** to A.T. Kearny, then to Érault, and three defeats to Tran, and finally led the Far East war situation to be out of control. With enough forces to shake the world, the King of Light will inevitably become a great danger to the kingdom in the future.

Footsteps sounded at the door, Yun Qianxue moved her gaze back from the window, and a team of half-orc soldiers with bears and tigers poured in from the door, all burly and fierce, with aggressive eyes. The soldiers quickly lined up in two lines at the door, and the leading officer shouted in a dragging voice: "His Royal Highness the King of Light has arrived!"

A family of military aristocrats from the kingdom, Yun Qianxue scoffed at this kind of pretentious nouveau riche behavior. But out of politeness, he stood up anyway. A man paced in the doorway. He was wrapped in a wide black sè cloak and wore a hood. The guards lining up at the gate greeted in an uproar: "Long live the King of Light!"

Yun Qianxue looked at the other party, the King of Light was very tall, his figure was wrapped in a wide cloak, and judging from his figure, he could be a human, a half-orc, or even a demon. Yun Qianxue tried her best to peek at his face, but the cloak and hood were so low that he couldn't see clearly. He greeted him: "Thank you to the general for taking the time to personally receive him in the midst of the deaths, Yun Qianxue is very honored." ”

The King of Light asked rudely, "Are you the feathered general of the Demon Clan?"

A trace of annoyance flashed in Yun Qianxue's eyes, and she bowed in to salute: "I am the commander of the Kingdom Feather Forest Legion." May I ask if Your Excellency is the leader of the Far Eastern Rebel Legion and the Autonomous Zhèngfǔ, Lord Guangwang?"

"I'm the King of Light!

"General Yulin!" Yun Qianxue interrupted him angrily.

The King of Light nonchalantly found a chair in the room and sat down, and said with a grin: "Anyway, it's all the same! We Far Easterners are straightforward men, and we can't understand your literary words! If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"This ......" Yun Qianxue looked around at the half-orc men who were staring at him, revealing a look of embarrassment. But the King of Light was so sluggish that he didn't react at all, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Say! If you have anything, just say it! Don't be afraid, General Feather, we won't beat you!"

Yun Qianxue had to smile bitterly and said, "Can you talk to Your Excellency alone?"

"Okay, there's nothing that can't be done! Brutes, get out of here!"

The orc soldiers shuffled away from the door, and Yun Qianxue said solemnly: "Actually, I have a very important matter to discuss with Your Highness, about the future and future of the Far East-"

The King of Light suddenly jumped up from his chair, threw himself on the door and shouted, "Little brute, when the sweet potatoes are cooked, call me, don't steal my share, or I'll skin you!"

"Got it—" came the sparse echo of the "brutes" in the distance.

"Damn brutes!" the King of Light sat back in his seat, scolding and swearing: "It's all a bunch of thieves and robbers! Keep an eye on them even if you sleep, or you'll be stripped of all the skin off your body! Don't you know, last week I put my leather boots on the windowsill to dry, and then I turned around for a second, and the boots were gone! What a good leather, I still feel distressed when I think about it now! They all said that they didn't take it, and even dared to open their eyes and swear at the grave of their father and mother, but it was a ghost! In the blink of an eye, even the ghosts are not so fast! They are all a bunch of scoundrels and hooligans who deserve to be hanged! If a decent person like me runs into them, he will be unlucky--General Feather, you don't know, how good the boots are......"

Is this what the King of Light of the Far East and the legendary and mythical leader look like? He is simply a chattering old peasant in the countryside! Yun Qianxue's eyes straightened, and he had to echo: "Yes...... Be...... Very good material...... Very expensive leather boots—" He finally found an opportunity to interject, "Your Excellency the King of Light, I actually have something very important to do: do you have any plans for the future?"

"As before, we continue to fight the demons! until the demon cubs all slip away-ah, don't get me wrong, General Feather, I didn't mean to beat you! You don't have to be afraid, you look like a decent person, not very much like those green-skinned and sharp-mouthed demon cubs, don't you hate it. ”

Yun Qianxue: "Please call me General Yulin!"

"I say, General Feather, if you have anything to say, you can say it quickly! I have to hurry up and eat, otherwise those beasts won't even leave me with a mouthful of soup, and it's going to rain and I'll have to put away my clothes quickly, and I won't have time to grind my teeth with you. ”

Yun Qianxue was dizzy, and decided to say it directly: "The general is brave and good at fighting, even if Yun Mou is thousands of miles away, he has long heard of the great name and admires him very much. However, the small Far East, but the land of projectiles, my king's ** team is million, and His Majesty the God Emperor is wise and martial, even if he is a general and brave, he will not be able to compete with the kingdom for a long time. I don't know if the general has thought about the big plan for the future?"

"I don't understand what you're saying. The King of Light said ashamedly.

Yun Qianxue patiently explained: "That is, what are you going to do in the future?"

"Oh, I'm going to go back to the village to farm—I haven't been back to see the crops for so long, and I wonder if the lazy lady has watered on time? Dre from the neighboring village is always stealing cucumbers from my field, it's really bad, and I'll beat him up when I get back......"

"No!!" Yun Qianxue roared, "Nobody is interested in your cucumbers! I'm asking about your field-damn it! I'm asking, do you want to continue to fight against the kingdom?"

"What?"

"Listen to me!" Yun Qianxue tried to make a majestic appearance: "You rebel and rebel, and attack the kingdom's army, that is a great crime! According to the law, you should all be put to death, and you should all be hanged on a tree! But His Majesty the God Emperor is magnanimous-"

"Who is that? I don't know him. ”

"Emperor! It's the emperor of our Demon God Kingdom! Don't interject first, listen to me first!" Yun Qianxue took a deep breath, feeling that she was about to go crazy: "Your Majesty the God Emperor is magnanimous, knowing that you have to rebel because you are oppressed by Emperor Lu-"

"Who said that, now I'm oppressing Rudi: he's helping me brush my boots every day!"

Yun Qianxue ignored him and continued: "So, His Majesty has forgiven you, as long as you surrender, he will agree to spare your lives!"

The King of Light snorted disdainfully, "General Feather—"

"General Habayashi !!"

"It's all the same anyway!" the King of Light looked insulted and angry: "I see that you are a person who understands, how can you say such stupid words? We have defeated and captured your Far Eastern Commander Lu Di, and beat your Duke of Rus to the bust, and the young men are addicted to fighting, clamoring for war every day, and I am so annoyed that you are telling us to surrender? Isn't this a joke?"

Yun Qianxue said calmly: "Your Excellency, I admit that your army has achieved considerable results. But so far, your army has encountered only a few miscellaneous troops, and has not faced the kingdom's Jīng Rui troops head-on. I can guarantee that once your army encounters such as the Kingdom Guard Brigade or the Yulin Army below, it will have a different ending. Moreover, the kingdom is vast, and the army is strong, far outnumbering your army. If you continue to fight, your army will have no chance of winning. ”

The King of Light waved his fists: "No matter what kind of feather army there is in the Guards Brigade, none of us are afraid!"

Yun Qianxue, who was good at observing faces, immediately felt it, and although the King of Light claimed that he was "not afraid of anyone", his voice trembled slightly. Yun Qianxue knew in her heart: "Of course, the general is a hero, so naturally he will not be afraid." But did the general ever think about the lives of his men, and if he was defeated, which seemed to me inevitable, all the soldiers and families of your army would surely die. If you don't want to bring about your own destruction, the only way out is to submit to the kingdom. Our emperor has made a promise that the soldiers and civilians of all ethnic groups participating in the coalition army will not be held accountable, and there is a holy decree as proof, please ask the general to look at it. ”

The King of Light glanced at the Divine Decree quickly, and he said, "I don't understand. ”

Yun Qianxue had no choice but to explain the holy decree in detail: "Now, the general understands, right? This is the last chance, the general must cherish it!"

After all, we have won so many battles, you have lost so many battles, and now you surrender, and there is no benefit, so I am not stupid? Didn't we fight in vain before?"

The King of Light approached and whispered in a friendly tone: "General Feather, let's do this: let's fight again, let your Guards Brigade and Feather Army come over, if we really win against us, then we will surrender again!"

If possible, Yun Qianxue really wanted to lead the kingdom's jīng sharp troops over and let this brazen guy know that he was powerful. But at present, the situation of the army is in full swing, and there is no room for delay, so he has to put on a smiling face: "Naturally, the general will not work in vain: Your Majesty has already promised that as long as you surrender, he will make Your Excellency the Governor of the Far East - so what?"

"General Feather, you're not kidding, are you?

"There is no joke in the army, how can you joke?

"That's a good dare!" Zi Chuanxiu responded casually, thinking nervously: What is the idea of the Demon God Emperor? The Demon Clan's style has always been as cold as steel and uncompromising: the rebels will not be forgiven! The Demon God Emperor's pardon of the rebels alone surprised them, and they also promised to make themselves the governor of the Far East, how could they make such a big concession? What is the purpose?

Yun Qianxue was still persuading in her ears, and Zichuan Xiu only replied vaguely with "uh-huh", and suddenly, a word caught his attention: "Defeat compensation." ”

(Could it be that the purpose of the demons is to ask for money?)

He said tentatively: "I heard that the surrendering side has to pay a sum of compensation from the boss, but we don't have that money: is it okay to pay twenty copper coins?"

Yun Qianxue smiled stiffly: "The compensation is an indispensable part of the surrender ceremony, too little will not be good, and the dignity of the kingdom will be damaged." His Majesty said that it would cost at least one million taels of silver. ”

Zi Chuanxiu shouted loudly: "General Feather, you are simply a hooligan!

(This may sound like a huge amount, but it is only a week or two of production for the Far East's rich minerals, and it is not difficult to raise.) It's just that the Demon God Emperor is really so embarrassed?

Seeing the angry appearance of the King of Light, Yun Qianxue was afraid that he would turn his face, so she hurriedly said: "My Emperor loves the people with benevolence and knows that the people of the Far East live in poverty, and it is not easy to raise funds. If you can't raise the money for a while, I can lend it to you first. ”

Zi Chuanxiu immediately understood: No! The goal of the demon clan is not money! Yun Qianxue must have some kind of serious and imminent crisis oppressing them if she gave in so eagerly, so what is it? If the leader of the rebel army is appointed governor of the Far East, in fact, the Far East is equal to dúlì, and what benefits can they get from it?

Zi Chuan Xiu continued to casually blow with Yun Qianxue, negotiating the terms of all aspects, the garrison on the border between the Far East and the kingdom, the transfer of Wang **'s various facilities in the Far East, and the fact that Wang ** must withdraw from the Far East, including the Ling Buxu Army, which Zi Chuan Xiu had always had the most headache - all the conditions he proposed, Yun Qianxue only insisted a little and immediately gave in, which made Zi Chuanxiu firmly believe that the demon clan must have a plan.

"Your Excellency Guangming," Yun Qianxue said as if casually: "There is a small matter by the way: in the war a while ago, many kings fell into the hands of your army, and now that we have reached an agreement, the war is over, and we hope that your army can return the captured soldiers to us." Of course, we will pay a certain amount of financial compensation: three taels of silver for ordinary soldiers, and fifteen taels of silver for officers. ”

Zichuan Xiu is a little strange: the demons are ruthless to their enemies, and even more ruthless to their own people. The demon soldiers who escaped from the battle would be executed, not to mention those captured by the enemy. For the captured officers and soldiers of the demon clan, unless it is a very important member of the royal family such as Cardin last time, the demon clan has always been left to fend for themselves. How did this exception come out?

He replied casually: "I have to discuss this with everyone, you must know that there are tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the kingdom, and if they are redeemed all, it will be a big deal......

Yun Qianxue hurriedly said: "It's not that they are all redeemed, as long as the soldiers of the Senea clan are redeemed." ”

Zi Chuan Xiu looked at him in surprise, and in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning: the Senea tribe used the Tatar tribe to kill people with a knife, the anger of the Tatar tribe being used, the agreement that Ross was forced to write, his plan to split the various tribes of the demon race, the Senea tribe hurriedly demanded the redemption of prisoners of war, and dispatched the Ling Buxu army back to China - in the lightning and thunder, a series of clues were connected, and the sudden intuition was like a lightning bolt passing through his mind, the truth was so simple!

He chuckled and asked, "I wonder where Rose's soldiers have gone?"

"Blackstar City...... Ahh

He calmed down, looked directly at the other party, and said slowly: "Your Excellency the King of Light is very clever, and he is even more good, Yun admires it! Let's open the window and say something bright: if the peace talks are successful, it will be beneficial to the Far East and the kingdom; if not, you might as well return to the battlefield to see the truth."

I can say bluntly: the Tartars have rebelled, but they are only a temporary problem, and they are no match for our Senea. If you want to take advantage of the fire of the civil war in our kingdom, you will definitely do it. Whether it is war or peace, the big husband can decide it in one word. As the general said earlier: We don't have time to grind our teeth with you!" He was furious because he was teased.

After being silent for a long time, Zichuan Xiucai said slowly: "This matter is too big, I can't call the shots alone, I wonder if Your Excellency Yulin can give me time to think about it?" Seeing that Yun Qianxue was a little hesitant, he hurriedly said: "For such a serious issue, it is in line with negotiation etiquette to give the other party a certain amount of time to consider." ”

"How long?"

"A week?"

"No, I can't. Yun Qianxue immediately and categorically refused: "At most, it will only give twenty-four hours." By this time tomorrow, if I have not received an official reply, I will leave for my home country immediately. ”

There was no room for compromise in his decisive tone, and Shikawa Xiu immediately knew that it was useless to say anything more. He said briskly: "Yes! I will give you a formal reply tomorrow at this time." ”

The two sides got up and bowed to each other, and Zi Chuanxiu got up and went out the door.

Yun Qianxue put down her cruel words: You must get an answer before tomorrow, and all the Far East can do is to make a choice between "peace and war". According to Shikawa Xiu, the problem is actually very simple:

First: The strength of the Far East is not yet capable of fighting a full-scale war with the demons.

Second: Since you can't win the demons, you have to find a way to negotiate.

In his opinion, it was a one-and-two, two-and-one problem, and it couldn't be simpler. It coincided with the civil strife of the demon race, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, since the arrogant Demon God Emperor was willing to put down his shelf, what reason did the coalition have to be stubborn? In his expectation, as soon as he proposed it, everyone raised their hands in agreement, and everyone happily signed the treaty. Unexpectedly, he still underestimated the ability of the Far Easterners to talk nonsense.

At the high-level military meeting that night, the participants asked a lot of questions, and the posture was almost like he was the spokesperson of the Demon God Emperor.

"Your Highness, what you said is true?

Zichuan Xiu corrected the other party's statement: "From beginning to end, the kingdom did not promise to let the Far East dúlì, but only promised us to elect a new governor of the Far East!"

The orc general Bran frowned and asked, "What are the powers of the new governor?"

"According to my opinion, the Demon God Emperor has indeed given the Far East the greatest autonomy. The new governor had the right to recruit 100,000 soldiers, to train and command them himself—in fact, we could easily break through the limit of numbers. The Governor had the power to levy taxes and labor in the Far East at his own discretion, and he had the power to use them at his own discretion, and only had to pay a single tax to the kingdom each year, which was symbolic of xìng. As for other aspects, such as the judiciary, administration, education, the establishment of institutions, and the appointment of officials, they were entirely under the control of the governor of the Far East. ”

"What about the army? The army of the demons stationed in the Far East, such as the Southwest Battalion?"

"All the troops will be withdrawn from the Far East, and the Yulin general, Yun Qianxue, has assured me that the kingdom will not send a single soldier in the Far East. The Far East will be completely handed over to the army of the Far Easterners for protection. ”

The entire conference room suddenly resounded with a buzzing low discussion, the conditions of the kingdom were indeed too favorable, and the concessions were unbelievable.

"Could there be any trap in this?" "Could it be that the cunning Demon God Emperor has set up some kind of conspiracy for us Far Easterners?" he looked over suspiciously, as if Zichuan Xiu was an accomplice of the Demon God Emperor.

Zichuan delicate knot. He explained the reason, saying that this qiē was not for no reason, it was because the Tatar tribe rebelled, the demon tribe had a civil strife, and the Demon God Emperor urgently transferred the southwest army back to China, which promised to give the Far East such a tolerant autonomy.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and some people suspected that this was a delaying tactic by the Demon God Emperor, and it was a smokescreen released by the Demon Clan, because the Far Eastern Alliance defeated the Rus Army, and the Demon God Kingdom had no army to fight, and the Demon God Emperor was afraid that the coalition army would take the opportunity to invade the kingdom itself.

This officer declared: "We must not agree to what the enemy wants, so we must not stop fighting, and we must fight to the kingdom itself!" He suddenly raised his voice: "The Far Easterners are invincible, our army is invincible! Fight to the Demon God Fort and capture the Demon God Emperor alive!"

Suddenly, the whole venue resounded with warm applause and whistles, and the half-orc generals with strong blood and strength shouted excitedly: "Well said!

The orc officer bowed humbly, then sat down triumphantly.

Zichuan Xiu frowned and asked Bran softly, "Who is this?"

Bran turned his head and whispered, "Leader of the thirty-third team, Robin, Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Zichuan Xiu shook his head: "It's nothing. "But I was very worried in my heart: since the uprising, the Far Eastern coalition army has been singing triumphant songs all the way, and has recently subdued the governor of the Far East, Lu Di, recovered the whole territory, defeated the Tatar leader Rus, and forced the Senea to sue for peace, a series of victories have overwhelmed everyone's brains, the officers have overestimated their own strength, the army is full of ecstasy, and from top to bottom, the soldiers and generals seem too impetuous.

However, as the commander of the whole army, Zi Chuanxiu saw a series of hidden dangers that everyone ignored under the ecstasy: after years of war, the productive forces of the Far East have been greatly destroyed, the economy is on the verge of collapse, and there is also a great crisis in human resources.

But now, no one else in the entire coalition seems to have thought about this problem except him. After the speech of the leader of the Luo Bang team, the atmosphere of the whole meeting became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone happily discussed how to divide the land of the kingdom after the victory, which province should be assigned to the Zoe and which county should be assigned to the Hart, and how to loot the wealth of the kingdom to make up for the losses of the people of the Far East in the previous wars. Debating which race should sacrifice more and which race should be compensated more, the representatives of the various races quarreled so much that a military meeting turned out to be like a thief's den to share the spoils.

Seeing that the more everyone talked, the more unorthodox it became, Zichuan Xiu really couldn't listen to it anymore. He coughed dryly, "Guys, it's too early to say this, aren't we?

Everyone was stunned, seeing that the face of the King of Light became more and more ugly, and General Busen asked obediently, "Everyone said, who should we assign the capital of the kingdom, the Demon God Castle, to?"

Everyone let out a meaningful "oh", and they all understood, and said in unison: "Demon God Castle to His Highness! Demon God Castle to His Highness the King of Light! Let Demon God Castle become His Highness's private territory!"

The generals were talking about it below: "That is, your Highness has not received the benefits yet, and you have divided all the things, no wonder he is unhappy." ”

"Remember, give the best provinces to Your Highness, and the most beautiful beauties, so that he will have a dead face all day long. ”

Zi Chuanxiu couldn't cry or laugh, he knocked on the table: "Be quiet, I have something to say." Brethren, are we overly optimistic? We have only won a few battles, and we are talking about dividing up the demon kingdom? They still have a strong army to protect the country, this is just a dream. ”

"It's not a dream, Your Highness!" the leader of the Luo Bang team stood up and shouted: "The demons are paper tigers, they are weak and indecisive, and they can only brag! Your Highness, look at how many demon generals we have defeated! Lu Di, Ross, we still have to capture Ling Buxu alive! We will defeat more demon generals until they fall!"

It was rather rude to openly confront the King of Light, but before Bran could reprimand, the watery applause and whistles of the cháo had already flooded the hall. There were people shouting from all directions: "Good job!" "Well said! We should do this!" was interrupted by Zichuan Xiu, and the generals of the Far East were a little dumbfounded, and when they saw that someone had spoken their minds, the officers were all applauding madly as if they were deliberately mischievous.

Zi Chuanxiu was annoyed, and he shook his head vigorously: "Whether the demon clan is a paper tiger or not, we won't talk about it here for the time being." Today our agenda is whether or not to accept the Kingdom's terms of negotiation. ”

A snake clan officer asked, "Your Highness, what are the conditions for the Demon God Emperor?"

"Nothing else, the biggest condition is that the Far Eastern coalition forces must openly surrender......"

didn't wait for Zi Chuanxiu to finish speaking, and the angry sound suddenly rushed to the rostrum, almost knocking Zi Chuanxiu down. The officers stood up in the audience, waved countless arms, and shouted at him with dozens of large mouths at the same time, one wave after another: "No! No! We will never surrender! The Far East will never surrender!"

Unexpectedly, everyone's reaction was so strong, Zi Chuanxiu hurriedly stood up and comforted everyone: "Be quiet, everyone sit down!"

Soth stood up tremblingly, and said, "We Hatts have a long and glorious history, and the great King Hutt I heroically ...... invaders in those days."

This hateful old boy is going to come out at this time and make trouble with himself! Zi Chuanxiu was furious and yelled at Soth: "Fool, sit down!"

The kind of person who has always been gentle is especially frightening, and the angry roar of Shikawa Xiu can be heard clearly even in the noisy venue, and Soth is frightened into an idiot and sits back in place. For a moment, the entire venue was silent. Everyone looked at Zi Chuanxiu with wide eyes, couldn't believe their ears, and asked each other in a low voice: "I heard it right just now, right?"

"Sit down for me!" Zi Chuanxiu angrily jumped onto the table and pointed downward: "You, you, you! and you, sit down for me!" where he pointed his finger, the officers were frightened like a group of panicked rabbits, and sat down in a hurry.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who remembers why we took up arms against the kingdom in the first place?"

General Bran coughed and replied in a loud voice: "Because the Demon God Kingdom has been rampant, brutally exploited, suppressed the people of the Far East, invaded the temple, and trampled on our faith and religion, we could not bear it anymore and raised an army to revolt. ”

"Exactly!" said Zichuan Xiu, "now that the kingdom has offered extremely favorable conditions to the Far East, our purpose of fighting has been achieved. Now that we have essentially achieved the goal of dúlì, there is no need for us to insist on it any longer. If the soldiers are allowed to shed senseless blood for fame and let the people suffer senselessly, then we are committing a crime against the Far East and against the people!"

The venue was quiet, everyone was looking at Zichuan Xiu, no one responded loudly, and no one argued. Looking at the eyes of the officers, the indifferent expressions, Zi Chuanxiu only felt an inexplicable chill, those familiar and enthusiastic eyes, how did they become so indifferent at this moment? For a moment, Shikawa Xiu felt as if he was in a foreign enemy camp, extremely lonely.

He forcibly beat the god and continued to persuade: "Brothers, at this point, let us put aside our personal honor and disgrace and consider it from the perspective of the Far East as a whole. The Far East is our Motherland, our homeland. Chiefs, you are all representatives of your tribes, and the rise and fall of the Far East is closely related to you. Years of war, starvation, and cities were reduced to rubble, fertile fields were scorched, cities and villages were destroyed en masse, and countless people were displaced to live on weeds and tree bark.

Before today, the kingdom had sent one crusader after another, and we had to fight to defend our homeland. But now, the Demon God Emperor has given the greatest concession they can promise, and the dawn of peace has appeared before us, and what reason do we have not to hold on to it? Just for the sake of our belligerence, can we bear to put tens of millions of people in the Far East in the war-torn hell? After years of war, our Far Eastern Mother is exhausted. Please think about it carefully, please!"

Hearing Zi Chuanxiu's sincerity and sincerity, the officers were moved. There was a whisper of discussion in the crowd, and someone whispered, "The King of Light is right, the common people are indeed very miserable. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about! He's asking us to surrender to the demons! We'd rather die than surrender!"

"All Your Highness said is for our sake! After so many battles, how many brothers have we died, and how many orphans and widows have we made!"

"You traitor!

"Bastard, what are you talking about! Pull out your knife and duel!"

There was a slight argument and sāo movement in the crowd, and the anger on both sides grew, but fortunately, General Bran, who had always enjoyed prestige among the orcs, came out to stop the sāo rebellion. Seeing that tonight's meeting could not be calmly concluded, Buson finally said, "Why don't we inform Elder Boudin of this matter, Elder Elder is wise and will help us make a wise decision." ”

Zi Chuanxiu shook his head and said, "It is appropriate to inform Elder Budan, but now the envoy of the demon clan is waiting outside, and he will be officially replied to tomorrow." If you want to wait for the elders to reply, it will be too late anyway. ”

"yes, it's too late. Busen fell silent again, and the old orc general looked melancholy and worried.

It wasn't just him, everyone was staring at the floor and the walls, their eyes wandering.

Shikawa Shu understood their feelings. He believed that, as representatives of the major tribes of the Far East, there were no cowards here. No one likes to shed blood in the face of low-hanging fruit, but the chiefs are more afraid of being saddled with the stigma of cowardice and surrender. Far Easterners cherish honor more than life, and this requires a different kind of courage, a more determined, selfless, and sacrificial courage than charging into battle in the rain of arrows on the battlefield.

Someone asked, "Why don't we vote?"

Zichuan Xiu resolutely refused. He knew that the secret ballot would be extremely detrimental to him at this time. Since ancient times, the capitulation faction has been unpopular, and 90% of the people present are against surrender. There have always been voices of dissatisfaction with him in the army, and the division at the top of the Far Eastern coalition has been clearly laid out in front of everyone. If your proposal loses in a public vote, your downfall will follow.

The officers were arguing, saying that there was no zìyóu and no mínzhǔ, and even scolded the King of Light for being a surrender faction and a traitor, and Zi Chuanxiu was arguing with dozens of voices with one voice, and the quarrel was so dizzy. In the end, he forcibly made a decision: "Don't quarrel! If we miss this opportunity, we will shed dozens of times more blood! Since I am the King of Light, I am the one who will be responsible for the Far East, and I will be the one who will be responsible for history in the future, then I will have the final say!"

A shrill voice hid in the shadows and shouted in a strange tone: "Thunderhon! We have another Thunderhorn!"

The venue fell silent. Everyone turned around and looked around the corner, but they didn't see anything.

Zi Chuanxiu stood up, his expression still calm: "That's it!

The officers left the venue noisily, and Shikawa Xiu angrily unbuttoned the collar of his uniform and took a few heavy breaths, the meeting was really unexpected by him. He didn't expect the Far Easterners to be so stubborn, and they didn't even want their lives for the sake of a false name and a reputation for bravery. They can't tell the difference, and compromise in the political realm and personal moral honor are completely different things.

What's even more odious is that Soth has been fanning the flames in the crowd just now, and he is deadly stirring up trouble. Zi Chuanxiu heard that the strange voice was what he pretended, as a member of the command, he could express his opinions openly, but he only dared to hide in the dark and scold, a completely despicable villain.

Zi Chuanxiu took a sip of water and was about to go out, when Bran stopped him: "Your Highness!"

Zi Chuanxiu turned around: "Well, what's the matter? First of all, I won't accompany you in the quarrel, I was tired of arguing just now." ”

The orc general smiled: "Your Highness, you are too worried. It's just that I have to report to Elder Boudin about what happened tonight and listen to Elder's instructions. ”

"The report is your zìyóu, you don't have to tell me, right?"

Bran said lightly: "I am above board in everything. ”

Zi Chuanxiu glanced back at him and asked, "Then, what about your own opinion?"

The orc smiled: "Your Highness, in fact, what you said is not unreasonable. The war has been fought for too long, the whole Far East has been devastated, and the people are living in real hardship. ”

"Do you approve of me, then?"

The half-orc's eyes showed confusion: "Your Highness, I don't know. I think the Far East needs peace, but the price of surrendering to the demons for the sake of peace seems to be too great. What are we fighting for? Those brothers who died in battle, what are they for? Your Highness, I am just a martial artist, and these family and state affairs should not have been considered by me, and I don't understand these things. But Your Highness, you are the commander-in-chief appointed by the elders, and the elders trust you, and you must be better than us, so I trust you too. ”

Because the elders trust you, do we trust you?" Zi Chuanxiu smiled coldly and said, "This trust really touches me!"

Hearing the irony in Shikawa's words, Bran fell silent. After a while, he said softly, "Your Highness, I think it is too risky for you to decide on such an arbitrary truce. It's better to ask the elders first. Otherwise, on the elders' side, we may not be able to explain. He raised his hand and saluted Zichuan Xiu and strode out of the venue.

Zi Chuanxiu looked at Bran's tall back, but what he thought about was Elder Boudan's bottomless eyes. That patient, he had such a great influence on the Far East, that his own warriors were afraid of his gentle reproachful gaze? The relationship between the orc warriors and themselves was very clear, but between them and Elder Boudin, they were like parents and children. They were first of all the warriors of the Zoe tribe, and then the warriors of the Far East.

In return, the Far Easterners respected themselves as kings, and the mountains shouted long live, but now it seems that the earth-shattering cry of "Long live the King of Light" is far less powerful than the cough of a patient thousands of miles away. He commanded armies and controlled the mundane planes of the Far East, but Elder Boudin held their souls, a realm as sacred as faith.

For some reason, Shikawa Shu felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to think about it, but he had to admit that the King of Light was not the supreme authority of the Far East, and above him, there was an even more authoritative being, that is, the lights of the temple were shining. In the event of a clash between two faiths, which side will the fighters choose?

At five o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, the demon clan's Yulin general was packing his baggage, and there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the door. Hearing the footsteps, his body stiffened, and he raised his head and smiled at Zi Chuanxiu: "General Guangming?"

Looking at the package that had been almost packed, Zichuan Xiu stuck out his tongue: This guy really does what he says, if he doesn't agree, he will really leave without hesitation.

"Your Excellency should have made a decision to come here at this time, right?"

Although it has been well thought out, it really takes a lot of determination to get these words out of my mouth: "Deeply impressed by the great strength of His Majesty, the allied forces have agreed to surrender to the kingdom, and I beg His Excellency Habayashi to convey to His Majesty the Emperor the loyalty of the military and people of the Far East to the kingdom, and also ask His Majesty to forgive us for our past sins." ”

Yun Qianxue let out a sigh of relief: the purpose of her trip had finally been achieved. He said gently: "Your Excellency can rest assured, Your Majesty knows that the Far Eastern military and civilians are pure and good, but they have been oppressed by the tyrannical Emperor Lu, and they have no choice but to go astray. His Majesty is magnanimous and has forgiven your sins. From now on, the Far East will remain pure subjects of our kingdom. ”

"Your Majesty's grace, the Far Eastern military and the people are inscribed with five suits! Please tell Your Majesty that the subjects of the Far East will be loyal to Your Majesty, and their loyalty will be as firm as the Guards Brigades, and they will never be bewitched by the evil of Jiān again!"

The two of you go back and forth, talking head to head, knowing that there is not even a milligram of truth in the conversation. Especially when it comes to "being bewildered by the evil of jiān", Yun Qianxue can't help but raise the corners of her mouth: it was the person in front of her who set off this rebellion in the Far East, but the biggest representative of the "evil spirit" was confessing his loyalty, and he wanted to laugh when he heard it.

What followed was a hypocritical red tape, Zichuan Xiu expressed his willingness to surrender, Yun Qianxue as the ambassador of the Qin Mission, and comforted the "Far Eastern military and civilian representatives who surrendered to Cheng", and the "Far Eastern Military and Civilian Representatives" deeply reflected on their own mistakes, and said that they would change their past mistakes and be a loyal and good citizen of the kingdom from now on. The second Grand Governor of the Far East of the Demon God Kingdom". Immediately afterwards, the newly appointed Governor of the Far East and the Kingdom Chincha began a shameful bargain over the ransom of the Kingdom's prisoners of war.

Yun Qianxue wanted to have a showdown several times: "Your Excellency Governor, you are offering such a price, we really can't talk about it." He was about to leave.

Zichuan Xiu was unmoved: "Is General Yulin leaving? If you don't send it, you don't send it, you often come to play when you have time!" Seeing that the King of Light's will was as hard as iron, Yun Qianxue, who had already gone out, had to come back stupidly: "Count you ruthless!"

In the end, Zichuan Xiu successfully blackmailed the Demon God Kingdom and doubled the total ransom amount on the basis of Yun Qianxue's proposal. The demon clan's Yulin general frowned, and he said, "If you agree to such conditions, your majesty will definitely kill me when you go back." ”

But fortunately, in the subsequent negotiations on compensation for the defeat in the Far East, General Yulin finally won back a city. He raised the total amount of the indemnity to two million taels of silver, but the swift counterattack of Shikawa Shu wiped out Yun Qianxue's victory, saying that due to the current poverty in the Far East, he could not pay the money, so he had to apply for a loan from the kingdom to pay the compensation.

In desperation, Yun Qianxue had to agree, he lent money to Zi Chuan Xiu (loan) with his left hand, and took back the money (compensation) with his right hand, and then, Zi Chuan Xiu signed a letter of allegiance to the Demon God Emperor on behalf of the Far Eastern coalition forces and the people, swearing that the twenty-three provinces of the Far East would be loyal to the kingdom from now on - what kind of child's play was the surrender ceremony? Even the letter of allegiance was taken by Zi Chuanxiu from the straw paper of the thatched house. But that was enough, and no one expected the Far East to have a deeper loyalty to the kingdom than papyrus.

After such a toss, the merit is finally complete. Shikawa Xiu asked, "Do you still need any formalities?"

Yun Qianxue thought for a moment: "I need to send an envoy to the southwest camp to announce His Majesty's withdrawal of troops, I hope that Your Excellency Governor can guarantee the safety of the envoy along the way." After being canonized, Yun Qianxue immediately changed her name and called Zichuan Xiu the governor, which made Zichuan Xiu very unaccustomed.

Zichuan Xiu agreed: "This is natural." I will send reliable men to escort him and ensure that he can reach Southwest University smoothly

Battalion. Yun Qianxue nodded slightly: "That's the best." ”

He suddenly leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Your Excellency Governor, after last night, the jǐng ring around my residence has suddenly strengthened, and the cavalry troops have been sent to wait for them, could it be that there is something wrong with your department?"

Zi Chuan Xiu was stunned, last night's meeting broke up unhappily, those officers of the main battle faction were angry, Zi Chuan Xiu was worried that they would find a demon envoy to provoke, so he specially transferred the Xiuzi battalion to protect around Yun Qianxue's residence. This General Habayashi is really a careful person.

He smiled and said: "Recently, the law and order have been a little unquiet. Lord Yulin, you are our distinguished guest in the Far East, if those little thieves alarm you, my lord, won't we be inconsiderate?"

Yun Qianxue smiled meaningfully: "Is that really the case?" He lowered his voice: "Lord Governor, since you have accepted the reward of the kingdom and assumed the official position of the kingdom, then we will be ministers in the same palace, and you can say anything directly." If your ministry is not satisfied, there is a dispute that needs to be settled, and it is difficult for you to come forward, please just say hello! Wang's border guard corps is close to the left, as long as a warrant can be dispatched, at any time to serve you. ”

Zi Chuanxiu said lightly: "Your Excellency Yulin's kindness is in my heart. If necessary, I will ask the general for help. But there is no need for this at the moment, the Far Eastern coalition forces are very united, and everyone trusts me. ”

He secretly screamed that Yun Qianxue was terrifying, and the help he offered was even more ill-intentioned: if Zi Chuanxiu borrowed the power of the demon clan to suppress the internal opposition, then what face would he have to gain a foothold in the Far East? In the end, he would only become a puppet of the demon race, so that the demon clan would also achieve its goal.

The demons are oppressing themselves, and the hardliners within the army are also forcing themselves, and they are in a dilemma. Shikawa Xiu took a deep breath and suddenly felt the dark clouds overhead pressing low. I walked on a road full of thorns, with cliffs on both sides, and if I was not careful, I would fall to pieces and ruin my reputation, but now there is no way back, I can only move forward.

He said in a deep voice: "General Habayashi, I firmly believe that peace is beneficial to the Far East. For the people, no matter how peaceful it is, it is better than war. In order for the Far East to no longer shed blood, no more hunger, for children not to lose their parents at an early age, and for mothers to stop crying for their sons, compared with the happiness of tens of millions of people, my honor and disgrace are not enough to live and die. No matter how difficult the road to peace may be, I will do my best without hesitation. ”

Yun Qianxue looked at him quietly, and respect arose. He stretched out his hand: "King of Light, we stand on different sides, and I may not agree with your views, but I respect people with personality. I think I can understand your situation, and it takes no less courage to pursue peace than war. Maybe I'm overthinking, but I always feel that the peace agreement will not be smooth sailing, maybe the road ahead will be tortuous, but in any case, for your ideals, for the cause you believe in, please work harder!"

Zi Chuanxiu hesitated, but still stretched out his hand from the wide clothes, and the two shook it hard. Staring at Zi Chuanxiu's white and slender hand, Yun Qianxue's eyes flashed. He said slowly: "Some friends have left, and I thought I would never see each other again in this life, but fate brought us together again. ”

He raised his head and looked into Zi Chuanxiu's eyes, his gaze seemed to have some kind of penetrating power: "You are such an outstanding person, you will impress people wherever you go, how can you hope that you can hide your demeanor with a mask? If you are deceived once, you are smart, but if you are deceived twice, then I am too stupid." ”

Zi Chuanxiu suddenly breathed faster, and his palms were sweaty: "Your Excellency Yulin, I don't understand what you said. ”

"Nothing, compared to the peace of the Far East and the kingdom, this is just a thing of the past, insignificant. Yun Qianxue smiled heartily: "King of Light, oh no, Lord Governor of the Far East, please take care! I hope that one day, we can meet again as friends." Farewell. ”

Yun Qianxue set off to return to China at dusk that day, and Zichuan Xiu personally sent him to the gate of the city, because he was worried that the generals of the main battle faction would find trouble, although Yun Qianxue's own guards and horses were quite sufficient, but Zichuan Xiu still resolutely sent a Xiuzi battalion squadron to escort him, and instructed them to escort Yun Qianxue to the national border until they met with the border guards of the Demon Kingdom. For Zichuan Xiu's kindness, Yun Qianxue repeatedly expressed her gratitude. The two of them kindly and even cherished each other like two friends who had not seen each other for many years, waving goodbye under the red burning clouds in the sky.

Sending Yun Qianxue away, Zichuan Xiu turned back to deal with the problems of the Far Eastern Army itself. The reaction of the army to the signing of the armistice agreement was diametrically opposed, and some people were moved to tears, running for peace, and cheering, but the vast majority of the people were bitter and indignant, and they scolded the King of Light for betraying the Far East for the sake of glory and wealth, and for being a traitor and the scum of the army, and cursed him for not dying well; the walls of the barracks were covered with slogans to defeat the King of Light, one after the other.

For the sake of different ideas of "war and peace", the army split into two factions, from the high command to the lowest privates, who were arguing endlessly, and even fought fiercely. The army was full of speeches, rallies and protests. The blood letters of protest poured into Zichuan Xiu like snowflakes, and the militant maniacs came in groups, they gathered around the gate of the Chinese military camp holding banners and slogans to petition, and the door of Zichuan Xiu's camp was noisy and noisy all night, more lively than a few circuses, and the program seemed to be quite colorful: impassioned speeches, scolding, crying, sit-down hunger strike, Severed fingers to write blood letters, and some people even took knives to cut their necks, seeing that Zichuan Xiu ignored it, so they decided to perform a more exciting show, and a half-orc officer showed everyone the stunt of bathing with gasoline on the spot, with a tragic expression on his face, showing that this was a strong man who dared to sacrifice his life for the Far East.

The onlookers screamed in fright, and the guards hurriedly went in to report: "Your Highness, it's not good! If you don't go out, you will die!"

Zi Chuanxiu was so noisy that he couldn't sleep for two days and two nights, and he was so insomnia that he was anxious, and when he heard that the situation was critical, he ran out dizzily with a cigarette in his mouth, shouting: "Who! Who wants to commit suicide?" Seeing the red cigarette butt on his mouth, the strong man who was not afraid of death immediately pulled his legs and ran, only to see the smoke and dust billowing behind him, and in an instant the person had run out of the border of Gaza Province.

Demonstrations, protests, marches, sit-ins, the hustle and bustle are non-stop, the shape on the surface is tense enough, and the bottom is even more like a dark wave, full of crises. Shirakawa reported that in order to resist the implementation of the peace agreement, the officers and soldiers of the main war faction formed a number of secret groups, which strongly opposed the surrender of the Far East to the kingdom as an unprecedented humiliation, and advocated the use of a means to prevent the implementation of the peace agreement, and they did not hesitate to shed blood to achieve their goals.

"The feelings of those small groups are extremely unstable. If persuasion, processions, demonstrations and other peaceful means fail, the possibility of violence cannot be ruled out. It is possible that they will assassinate the main general who advocates peace, that is, your Excellency. ”

Shikawa Xiu easily turned the moon washing knife with two fingers, dexterously playing one knife flower after another in his hand. He smiled: "It's not easy to assassinate me. What's more, my security system is very tight. ”

"There is no absolutely seamless security system. Bai Chuan said calmly: "The security system can defend against those well-trained professional killers, but for those who are determined, even the twenty-story human wall may not be enough, not to mention that the enemy is dark and I am clear, and I am not the enemy!"

"What's your opinion?"

Bai Chuan said: "I will build a yì lord to strike first and eradicate them, and I am willing to take the Xiuzi battalion to carry out this task." ”

Zi Chuan Xiu shook his head, using such drastic measures would only exacerbate the situation, and in the current situation, he was afraid that it would provoke a backlash. He asked, "Are there any high-ranking generals involved in this?"

"Not yet, the vast majority of the members of the command are still unclear, they are still waiting and seeing. Except, of course, the chief of staff of the Second Army, Soss. Since that convention, he has been openly proclaiming that he wants to take revenge on your insult to him, and I have sent people to monitor him as necessary. ”

"I insulted him?" Zichuan Xiu sneered, "It was he who insulted himself. That guy is a piece of shit, there's no need to ignore him, just withdraw the watchmen. ”

"Since there are no high-ranking officers involved, these little guys can't make any waves. Shirakawa, don't be so nervous, arranging so many jǐng troops in the camp, such as facing the enemy, will cause panic. ”

Shirakawa "snapped" a salute: "My lord, I think it's better to be overprepared than not to be prepared." I'm sorry, my lord, but if I don't have any other orders, I'm going down!"

"Well, there you go!"

Not long after Shirakawa said goodbye and went out, the guards reported that the former governor of the Far East, Lu Di, had come to visit, and Shirokawa Shu let him in. As soon as he saw Zichuan Xiu, Emperor Lu opened his mouth and asked, "Your Highness, I heard that you have made peace with the kingdom?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

Lu Di's ugly face turned to the sky, and he folded his hands in blessing: "Great Demon God bless! This is the best news I have ever heard, it couldn't be better! Your Highness, let me hug you!"

He opened his arms and was about to come over to hug Zi Chuanxiu, but the guards misunderstood what he meant, and before Zi Chuanxiu shouted, "Stop!" In an instant, more than a dozen guards pressed Lu Di down, followed by the heavy sound of punching and beating flesh. When the misunderstanding is explained, the former Governor of the Far East has already suffered a lot.

Zichuan Xiu couldn't help but laugh: In the entire Far Eastern coalition army, the most staunch supporter of peace talks may be the former governor of the Far East who surrendered. Because no matter what power hates, the traitors who once held high positions disgraced the entire ruling class. Just like Zichuan Xiu chased and killed Lei Hong back then, once the Far Eastern Army is defeated, the Demon Kingdom may spare everyone, but it will never be possible to spare Emperor Lu. At that time, the demon army was chasing to the ends of the earth and wanted to kill Lu Di. But if the Far Eastern regime can coexist peacefully with the kingdom, under the protection of the King of Light, then Emperor Lu's life will naturally be saved.

"You're rejoicing too soon!" Shikawa said to him, "The agreement has been signed, but Elder Boudan hasn't said anything yet." His attitude is crucial. ”

Lu Di blinked his small eyes: "Who is Elder Boudin?"

Zichuan then explained to him that the Elder was the religious leader of the Far Easterners and was widely worshipped by the people of the Far East. He lived in seclusion in a little-known sacred place, the Holy Land Temple in the Far East, which was a magical place in the middle of the lofty mountains of Yun Province. Those who are not sincere in their hearts and strong in their faith will not be able to reach them. If you want to get here, you have to burn incense, bathe in a bath, and pray for 7749 days, and then the road to the Holy Land will suddenly appear in front of you. The elder has all kinds of magical and incredible skills, he knows five thousand years before and five thousand years after that, and he can even perceive the wind and grass thousands of miles away, and his magical powers are incredibly vast.

Zi Chuanxiu blew the sky wildly, and simply said that the elder was a fairy who did not eat the fireworks of the world, ate clouds and fog, but unfortunately a vulgar person like Lu Di could not appreciate this kind of mysterious realm at all, he asked in a daze: "Then, how many infantry teams does the elder have? How many soldiers and horses does he control, and how many provinces does he control? Is it his official or yours?"

The current Governor of the Far East patiently explained to the former Governor of the Far East: this is a question that cannot be compared at all. His own King of Light himself was the commander of the war zone appointed by Elder Boudin, and the subordinates under his own command were all under the elder's subordinates in theory. They responded to the call of the elders to come under the banner of their own King of Light, and it was the elders who gave themselves the authority to direct them. Therefore, it is inappropriate and rude to compare two people.

"Understood. The former Governor of the Far East's face sank visibly, and he bowed his head, as if he was seriously considering whether or not to join the powerful-sounding Elder Boudin. When he looked at Zi Chuanxiu, there was something strange in his eyes, as if he was saying: "I said it earlier, what kind of King of Light, his name is quite famous, and he is just a subordinate of others, so I wasted so much effort to slap you!"

Zichuan delicate knot. He said angrily, "Is there anything else?" I went back to sleep if I had nothing to do, I was sleepy. ”

"Your Highness, wait a minute, wait a minute, there is one more thing. Lu Di caught up and whispered, "What if that great Elder Boudin does not approve of peace talks?"

Zi Chuanxiu's heart trembled and stopped: "The elder is very wise, he will know how to benefit the Far East. ”

"What if he refuses?" said Rudi stubbornly on the broken phonograph, "is it possible?"

Zichuan Xiu had to admit: "There is a possibility, but it may be very small." ”

"No, I think, it's quite possible. Lu Di said very seriously. He looked around sneakily, approaching, as if he was going to sell a packet of heroin to Shikawa Xiu. Zi Chuanxiu took a step back in disgust: "That's what you say." ”

Lu Di's voice was extremely low, and even Zi Chuanxiu, who was close to his ears, could only hear it faintly: "Your Highness, you have been fighting for many years and mastering military power, and your credit is too great. Everyone knows that you have a lot of credit for the Far East to get to where it is today. If peace is thus achieved, it will be you who accept the kingdom's reward as governor of the Far East, and you will overwhelm the elder. Such a thing must not have been seen by the Elder Boudin, who would do his best to prevent peace between the Far East and the kingdom. ”

Lu Di observed Zi Chuanxiu's face uneasily, and the more he spoke, the quieter he became. Zi Chuanxiu struggled to hear this, he shook his head and said, "The elder is the representative of the Far Eastern Holy Temple, he is a noble person, he will not care about the power and prosperity of the world. ”

"Your Highness, I have seen a dog that does not bite bones, and I have never seen a person who does not want power and money!"

"You're presumptuous!" Zichuan Xiu was about to scold him, when he suddenly thought about it and asked, "Then according to your opinion, what should we do?"

The King of Light talked to himself so heartily that Emperor Lu was so happy that he even forgot his own father and mother. In the next few minutes, he fully exposed his villain nature: "Your Highness, I think we must not sit idly by! We must act, and we must not let that elder ruin our good deeds!"

"Yes, yes. Zichuan Xiu nodded encouragingly: "You continue." ”

"Your Highness, according to what you said, the most terrifying thing about Elder Boudin is his political influence, we must take action before he makes a public statement, otherwise, the consequences will be irreversible!

Zichuan Xiu deliberately pretended to be confused: "The action you said is ......"

Lu Di "hehe" smiled dryly: "The strength of the elder is his influence, once he comes out of the mountain, he can make the entire Far East shake." But his weaknesses are also obvious: such an important person, only a few unarmed villagers to protect, and the place where he lives is so remote and inaccessible. As long as one regiment passes, the whole village can be slaughtered, and not a single dog can leave!"

Zi Chuan Xiu lowered his eyes: "The elder is the leader of the entire Far East, and in front of him, not a single Far Eastern warrior dares to raise his weapon!"

"The average Far Eastern troops will not be allowed to carry out this task. Lu Di had been observing his face, and seeing that the King of Light had no objection, his courage suddenly increased, and the more he spoke, the more explicit he became: "Your Highness, why don't you leave this matter to me?" I have five thousand warriors who follow me and are loyal to me. They are the best at this kind of thing, and they will not leak a little rumor! Your Highness, at that time, you will be the real king of the Far East, and no one will point fingers at you again!"

Zichuan Xiu is sunny, Lu Di is really a straw bag. His plan worked in theory, but it didn't work in practice. The demons are too eye-catching in the Far East, and they will attract attention wherever they go. There are hundreds of miles of road from Gaza to Yun Province, and there are armies, regular troops, garrisons, self-defense forces, and militias along the way, and there are many checkpoints, and they have to be checked every five kilometers. Think about what everyone would say: "A demon army with a pass issued by the King of Light has arrived in Yun Province. Three days later, the temple's Elder Boudin died mysteriously, and the entire village was burned to the ground, leaving not a single living mouth. ”

Zi Chuanxiu looked at him seriously, and asked slowly, "Are you persuading me to rebel?"

"Your Highness, the one with the biggest fist in this world is the boss, and whoever takes the military power will speak loudly. Take us demons as an example, rebellion is our glorious tradition. The Yesai Dynasty, once powerful, was overthrown by its own subordinates, the Garin, and then the victorious Garin, who were defeated by their allies, the ThunderClan, and then the rebellion within the ThunderClan, and the war between the Council of Elders and the Emperor, and the cunning Dongrì intervened in the war in the name of mediation, replacing the declining ThunderClan. In the short ten years of the Dark Ages, we have changed dynasties six times, and the average lifespan of each dynasty is less than two years, and most of the rulers have been killed by their own subordinates! Since the whole world in the Far East has been defeated by you, Your Highness, and the armies are all in your hands, why should we let that elder ride on our heads to and pee?"

Zichuan Xiu showed a disgusted expression: "There is no reason to rebel. ”

Lu Di said solemnly: "There is a reason, as long as you win!

Zichuan Xiu was shocked, looked at Lu Di and muttered: "Sometimes the truth can come out of the mouth of a fool." ”

"Your Highness, what did you say?"

"Nothing. I want to know, why are you so trying so hard to encourage me to rebel?" Zichuan Xiushen sè stern: "Be careful, you have to instigate others to take advantage of the fire, be careful but * their hands!" He unconsciously quoted Yun Qianxue's words.

Lu Di was very calm: "Your Highness, you know, I am also for myself." If Your Highness falls, it will mean that I am finished, and Your Highness's interests are equal to my interests, so I can't help but care!"

Thinking that he was regarded by Lu Di as "the same interests", Zi Chuanxiu couldn't help but cry and laugh: "You say this, it's really an honor for me!" He didn't say anything more, waved his hand to let Lu Di leave, Lu Di walked out and still shouted unwillingly: "Your Highness, make up your mind!
