Chapter 226: The Purpose of Venerable Xu's Appearance
The soldiers in Lingfeng City cheered, originally thought that they would have a fierce battle today, but they didn't expect the army of the Huanzhou Alliance to retreat, this victory gave the soldiers of Lingfeng City a great encouragement to the originally fearful hearts, and a wave of confidence poured out, they may not be able to stop the Huanzhou Alliance.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Yuwen Chengdu and the others, who had just experienced a big battle, sat on their seats one by one, and on the left were Li Jiang and the others.
Yang Zaitian and Ren Lie also sat below, their faces as usual, but their eyes looked at Liu Qingquan from time to time.
Ahem!
Liu Qingquan coughed lightly, his face was pale, his breath was a little dissipated, and the battle just now was a little difficult.
But at this time, no one paid attention to them, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Jiang.
Previously, Li Jiang alone occupied the two peak venerables, and he also had the upper hand, and his strength was terrifying.
To be able to become a Venerable, which one is not a Tianjiao-level person, the strength is a very strong existence.
And the intention of Li Jiang and the three of them to arrive is also very obvious.
"You should know very well what we are here for, and this seat will not hide it." Li Jiang waved his robe, looked at everyone and said: "The king of Chu was attacked and killed, the entire royal family is very angry, and we must solve these chaotic ministers and thieves of the Huanzhou Alliance, but now that troops are rising everywhere, the imperial court cannot send troops to eliminate the Huanzhou Alliance for the time being, so Emperor Yao specially sent us to support you and defend Lingzhou with you, and when the imperial army arrives, we can destroy the Huanzhou Alliance in one fell swoop to avenge the King of Chu!" ”
Li Hai and Li Chong nodded slightly, but their eyes were fixed on Li Si, who was sitting on the main seat, and deep doubts welled up in their hearts.
Who the hell is this Lees?
After entering Lingfeng City, when Li Si appeared, Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu were a little shocked by the respect they showed when they looked at him.
Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu are all well-known existences in Lingzhou, and they have never heard of Li Si's name.
Why do these people pay homage to an unknown person?
Especially in the battle just now, there is a more intuitive clarity about Yuwen Chengdu's strength, although it is only the early stage of the Fazun Realm, but the combat power has already surpassed one of them, so the person who is proud of the world actually shows respect for this Li Si.
Ma Chao and Xu Chu, the two fierce generals, also know that they belong to one of the key figures in the Chu Palace.
And who is this Li Si, and what ability does he have to make high-level generals such as Yuwen Chengdu, Ma Chao, and Xu Chu obey?
The eyes of Li Mu, Yuwen Chengdu and others also looked at Li Si, who is now the backbone.
Li Mu, Liu Qingquan, and Liu Chenfeng already knew that Li Yuan was not dead, and now Li Jiang's meaning is obvious, what should I do now?
"We are grateful that the three Venerables came to our aid." Li Si's face was calm and he smiled faintly. m.
Jia Xu had discussed with him before, Emperor Yao, King Ming, and even King Yu might send someone to recruit him.
Emperor Yao was anxious, and he was the first to send His Holiness over.
Li Jiang saw Li Si reply lightly, and he didn't see the following, and frowned.
That's gone?
They are from the imperial court, don't they express their loyalty, thank Emperor Yao, and thank the imperial court?
"Ahem, today's battle, we are all a little tired, it is better to go back to rest first, recover the true yuan, in case the Huanzhou Alliance attacks again."
Seeing the expressions of Li Jiang and the others, Li Mu hurriedly eased the atmosphere and said.
"Well, let's get some rest." Yuwen Chengdu stood up, and the aura left by the battle was extremely strong.
Liu Qingquan and Liu Chenfeng nodded one after another.
A flash of anger flashed in Li Hai's eyes, and these people in the Chu Palace's mansion showed that they just didn't want to continue talking, and they were shirking Emperor Yao's solicitation.
But Li Chong's face was calm, and his eyes looked at Li Si from time to time.
When he first arrived, it was normal for the people in the Chu Palace's Mansion to be a little resistant to him, and now that they hadn't even figured out what was going on in the Chu Palace, the matter of recruiting them really needed to be slowed down.
"Okay, then let's get some rest." Li Jiang looked at Li Si, who had been smiling, his face was as usual, and he nodded heavily.
…………………………
Compared to the harmonious departure of everyone in Lingfeng City, the atmosphere on the side of Huan Rin City was heavy, and the lobby was silent one by one.
The lord of the four major forces had a gloomy face, and the leaders below shrank their heads and lowered their eyebrows, looking cautious.
Song Kong frowned, and looked at Xu Mad from time to time.
Xu Mad eyes flickered, looked up at Zhou Chi, and then at everyone, wanting to speak and stopped.
In the end, Xu Mad couldn't bear the loneliness the most, and seeing that everyone didn't say a word, he said:
"In today's battle, we didn't expect the imperial court to directly send Venerable to support, which caught us off guard, causing us to fail in our hurried attack today.
Now that there are three more Venerables in Lingfeng City, how can we attack Lingzhou? ”
After Xu Mad spoke, everyone also raised their heads.
"No one could have predicted the sudden appearance of three Venerable Beings supporting Ling Feng City today, but even if Ling Feng City had their support, it would not be our opponent." Zhou Chi's originally gloomy expression had disappeared and he had regained his composure.
"Now there are only seven Venerables in Lingfeng City, although the strength of that Imperial Peak Venerable is very strong, but we may not be able to deal with it, send two people to block them, and the remaining six Venerables are not our opponents at all.
If there is another battle, send two Peak Venerables to block him, and then the rest of the Venerables will first deal with the other Venerables before joining forces to defeat him. ”
Wang Cheng nodded and said: "That's right, not to mention that we still have a million army, how can we be our opponent with only a few hundred thousand on the other side, after we start the battle of the Venerable, you will send the alliance army to directly attack Lingfeng City, and take Lingfeng City first, which is the first step into Lingzhou!" ”
After hearing the three lords of great power speak, the following leaders also regained their confidence.
What if there are seven Venerables on the other side, don't they have an alliance!
After His Holiness was blocked, he didn't have to rely on the army below to push the city.
Take Lingfeng City, force the enemy Venerable to retreat, and take the city step by step to devour Lingzhou.
"Still, Alliance Master, I have one more question." Xu Yan looked at Zhou Chi, and said in a somewhat dissatisfied tone: "Who is the peak venerable who suddenly appeared in the alliance today, if I don't know, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep!" ”
Song Kong saw that Xu Madness took the initiative, his heart moved, his eyes flickered, and he also looked at Zhou Chi, waiting for his answer.
Zhou Chi faced Xu Yan's inquiry, and Yu Guang also noticed Song Kong's gaze, and said with a smile:
"Haha! It's also to blame that I didn't tell you in advance about this matter, before the Lianzhou Heavenly Thunder Pavilion had agreed to cooperate with our Huanzhou Alliance, for the sincerity of their cooperation, the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion was willing to send Venerable Xu to assist us in solving Lingzhou together, he also just arrived today, but he didn't expect to meet us in battle, and took the initiative to expose his momentum and frighten the Venerable Lingfeng City. ”
As he spoke, a figure stepped into the lobby and instantly attracted everyone's attention, this person was the Venerable Xu who had gone with Xu Xiong and them to attack and kill Li Yuan.
Venerable Xu came to everyone, bowed his hand slightly to the Lord of the Four Great Forces, and said with an apologetic smile:
"In today's battle, I suddenly arrived, because I didn't understand the situation, I could only exude momentum to scare away the enemy army, and I didn't help, I hope you understand."
"It's okay, it's okay, this time thanks to Venerable Xu." Wang Cheng said with a smile on his face.
When Xu Mad saw Venerable Xu coming, the dissatisfaction in his eyes had disappeared, and he was a little more happy.
"It turned out to be Venerable Xu, with your help, why should our Huanzhou Alliance be afraid of the Venerable sent by the three royal families to support!"
"It's the pole, it's the pole." Song Kong was also happy.
The doubts in the hearts of the leaders of the other forces have also been solved, and it is indeed a good thing that there is one more Venerable on the side.
Some of the leaders warmly welcomed Venerable Xu's arrival.
However, some of the leaders did not look good.
It's fine if this Venerable is a member of the four major forces in Huanzhou, but this Venerable is from the great forces in Lianzhou, and when he comes to help, does he also have to share a piece of the soup!
Sure enough, after everyone greeted Venerable Xu warmly, the entire lobby fell into an eerie calm.
Their faces were tangled, but they didn't dare to ask more.
Originally, they had agreed that after the Huanzhou Alliance took the nine mansions of Lingzhou, the four major forces would take the eight mansions, and their twenty or so small and medium-sized forces would still be able to drink some soup and take the Lingrong Mansion together.
For these small and medium-sized forces, don't look at the lack of a place, Lingrong Mansion has nine counties, each county has ten large cities, and each big city is connected with more than a dozen surrounding towns.
The forces with a lot of power can get a county of land, and even if they have a small force, they can also get a few cities, which is enough for these small and medium-sized forces to taste the great sweetness.
After all, there are only three Tianwu Realm powerhouses in the combined strength of their twenty or so forces, and the army is only about 200,000.
But now that there is another Tianlei Pavilion, how will it be divided then?
These small and medium-sized forces are very worried, they don't believe that the Zhou family and the Song family will be kind enough to share their Eight Mansions with the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion, and they are likely to give up the only Zhongrong Mansion to the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion.
They are not as strong as a big force, and they don't have the right to speak at all, if the big forces in Huanzhou give up Zhongrong Mansion to Tianlei Pavilion, they just dare to be angry and dare not speak.
"Don't worry, it's impossible for the four major forces to treat the brothers of the alliance badly, and the Ling Rong Mansion will still be yours after you took Lingzhou!" Zhou Chi, who was in a good mood, saw the sadness on the faces of these leaders and comforted them.
Hearing Zhou Chi's words, these leaders raised their heads one after another, revealing joy.
The leader of the alliance said this in public, and he should not break his word.
"Thank you, Alliance Leader!" The hearts of the people were relaxed.
"You go down first and prepare for tomorrow's battle." Zhou Chi waved his hand and motioned for everyone to leave.
Everyone's faces froze, fighting again so soon?
Zhou Chi explained: "We have just attacked Lingzhou, and the imperial family has sent three venerables to arrive, we must speed up and take Lingzhou, otherwise after waiting for a long time, what will happen." ”
"Yes!"
Everyone felt a pang in their hearts, and after saying goodbye, they walked out of the lobby with solemn faces.
Soon, only the Lord of the Four Great Forces and Venerable Xu were left in the lobby.
"Alliance leader, I don't know what the purpose of the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion is to help us with the Huanzhou Alliance?"
Xu Xiong seemed to be a little unkind to Venerable Xu, and asked directly despite Venerable Xu's presence.
And Xu Mad's face was also a little bad, just now Zhou Chi said that he would not give Ling Rong Mansion to Tianlei Pavilion, wouldn't it be to divide another part of the land of the Eight Mansions scheduled by the four major forces?
As for the idea that Tianlei Pavilion didn't want a point, but just wanted to help them, Xu Crazy scoffed.
Just kidding, there is no benefit, who will help, think it is a family? And send a venerable one to help?
Venerable Xu saw Xu Xiong's unceremonious tone, he seemed to be used to Xu Xiong's too much, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, two, our Heavenly Thunder Pavilion does have a purpose, but the purpose is not in Lingzhou." ”
"That's right, rest assured, although Tianlei Pavilion helped us take Lingzhou, it will not interfere in the interests of our Lingzhou." Zhou Chi saw Xu Mad and Xu Xiong's somewhat dissatisfied expressions, the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his heart became more and more relieved about the Black Jiao Gang.
"Oh? What was the purpose of the Thunder Pavilion that day, Alliance Master, why didn't you discuss it with us? After Song Kong confirmed that Xu Qi didn't know the situation of the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion, his face was also a little unpleasant, and he expressed his dissatisfaction with Zhou Chi's concealment of the cooperation of the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion.
"I want to know too." Wang Cheng looked at Zhou Chi, and his face also showed dissatisfaction with the concealment of the situation.
Zhou Chi turned his head to look at Song Kong and Wang Cheng, and said with a smile on his face:
"The head of the Song family, the master of the Xu family, and the head of the Wang family, I originally gave you a surprise, and when Venerable Xu arrived, I would explain and negotiate with you, but I didn't expect that the unexpected situation in Lingfeng City happened today, so that before I could explain to you Venerable Xu's intention, Venerable Xu appeared in advance."
Xu Yan, Song Kong, and Wang Cheng glanced at each other, their eyes continued to stay on Zhou Chi, and listened to him quietly.
Zhou Chi stood up, slowly walked to Venerable Xu's side, and explained:
"Originally, we won Lingzhou nine times out of ten, and we didn't need the help of any forces, and the arrival of Venerable Xu of the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion was just icing on the cake."
"That's right, our Tianlei Pavilion knows that there is no problem for the Huanzhou Alliance to take Lingzhou, so naturally we will not intervene in Lingzhou's interests." Venerable Xu continued, "We, the Heavenly Thunder Pavilion, are cooperating with the Huanzhou Alliance to share a share of the Yizhou soup!" ”
"Yizhou?"
Xu Madness and Song Kong's eyes flashed.
Venerable Xu said: "Yes, our Tianlei Pavilion understands the current situation in Lianzhou, and if we don't make changes, we will be solved by the imperial court sooner or later, so our Tianlei Pavilion is willing to cooperate with the Huanzhou Alliance to deal with the royal family."
Now Tianlei Pavilion has attracted half of the forces in Lianzhou, but some forces are still in a wait-and-see state for the Huanzhou Alliance, in order to make them believe and understand the Huanzhou Alliance, our Tianlei Pavilion intends to send me to observe the Huanzhou Alliance, and then successively let some forces come to cooperate with the Huanzhou Alliance for the first time, cultivate mutual trust, and after you take Lingzhou, our Lianzhou will carry out real cooperation with your Huanzhou Alliance, deal with King Ming together, and divide Yizhou equally! ”
"What do you think?" Zhou Chi's gaze swept towards everyone.
"I think it's okay, we have discussed it before, and we will cooperate with Lianzhou to resist the arrival of the future imperial army." Wang Cheng nodded in agreement, and looked at Xu Mad and Song Kong.
"It's no problem to divide Yizhou equally," Song Kong bowed slightly, looked at Venerable Xu and continued: "But in the current situation, I wonder if Venerable Xu is still willing to help us take Lingzhou without interfering in Lingzhou's interests?" ”
The eyes of the people present moved, and they all understood what Song Kong meant.
There was no problem at all with the Huanzhou Alliance winning Lingzhou before, and it didn't matter if Venerable Xu made a move or not, because Tianlei Pavilion would naturally not interfere in Lingzhou's interests.
But now that there are three royal venerables to support, there is more trouble, and it makes the Huanzhou Alliance have a sense of urgency, and it needs to take Lingzhou quickly, so it needs Venerable Xu to make a move, so do you still need to pay for it?
"Master Song, rest assured, no matter what difficulties your Huanzhou Alliance encounters in Lingzhou, our Tianlei Pavilion is willing to help you, and the conditions will not change!" Venerable Xu didn't hesitate at all, and agreed.
Some people died, but not completely......
