To the north of the Tsutenkyo Gorge, after crossing the mountains of heavy mountains, there is a plateau covered with a sea of snow. The Eight Wastelands, a vast and vast wilderness, used to be the gathering place of the demons, but the climate of the Eight Wastelands is very harsh, and more than seven of the twelve months a year are covered with thick snow, so the season of grazing and planting is not more than five months at most, but it is such a barren plateau that supplies the main supply of hundreds of thousands of demon armies in the Tongtian Gorge year after year.

Hundreds of years ago, the Demon Emperor and the Holy Master led most of the population and army of the Demon Race to leave the Eight Wastelands, leaving only one family in the Demon Race to guard the Eight Wastelands, which is the Zhongnan family, the famous family in the entire Demon Clan, and the demon masters such as Alchemy, Refining the Sea, and Bi Bing are from the Zhongnan family, and for hundreds of years, in terms of the Demon Clan, the Zhongnan Family has made great contributions.

At this time, the Eight Wastelands were covered with ice and snow, and there was no one in the distance, only a cavalry on the snowfield galloped towards the castle in the distance.

Zhongnan City, the fief of the Zhongnan family, the city is not large, but there are also 200,000 demon populations settled, the cavalry team galloped into the city, and went straight to the city lord's mansion, at the front of the queue was a young high-level demon with sword eyebrows, with a light red long sword hanging from his waist, with clarity and pride between his eyebrows.

Shen Baichuan, the son of Shen Xiang, the head of the Zhongnan family, has already stepped into the realm of the Six-Star Demon Sect at a young age, and is the existence of the younger generation of the entire demon clan second only to Qianfeng, and Shen Baichuan is familiar with military books, known as both civil and military, and was highly valued by the Demon Emperor and the Holy Master back then, if he wasn't slightly inferior to Qianfeng in the competition, I'm afraid he would be the first marshal of the Demon Clan.

The mansion was empty and cold.

The white-bearded Shen Xiang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, sipping the tea, and said without looking back: "Baichuan, is there something wrong?"

Shen Baichuan's expression was grim, and he saluted: "Father, do we have to wait like this forever?"

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"Father, can't you see it?" Shen Baichuan's eyes were cold: "In the battle of Tongtian Province, our Protoss has been defeated, Qianfeng is not effective in command, and how many warriors of our clan have been killed by Lin Muyu with Yi Yiyi, and now the military strength of the Protoss in Tongtian Gorge is only half of what it was half a year ago, and our Central and Southern Family Province is thrifty, is it for them to be such a loser?"

"Shut up!"

Shen Xiang stood up, with a stern look in his eyes, and said, "His Majesty the Divine Emperor has his own decision, where is your place to speak." ”

"Father!" Shen Baichuan clenched his fists, hunted in a cloak behind him, and said with a resolute look in his eyes: "If we continue to break and suffer from it, if we continue, I am afraid that the 10,000-year-old foundation of our Zhongnan family will be dragged down by the prolongation of His Majesty the Divine Emperor, does my father want to be the sinner of the Zhongnan family?"

"Baichuan, why are you talking so presumptuous today?" Shen Xiang's eyes were filled with coldness.

Shen Baichuan immediately knelt on his knees, his body trembled, and said: "Because the child has just gone to inspect the city under his jurisdiction, there are people of the God Clan who are freezing to death and starving to death everywhere, especially Liucheng, almost half of the people in the city have been starved to death, the people have been displaced, and the plague is rampant, but the gods have asked us to provide three times the number of war horses, food and blades, if my father really allows them, I am afraid that the Zhongnan family will be finished!"

Shen Xiang squinted his eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Shen Baichuan gritted his teeth: "The child hopes that my father can let me go to Tongtian Gorge, I want to meet Your Majesty in person, and ask Your Majesty to change the overall strategy and defend Tongtian Gorge, it will only make our Protoss defeat again and again, Qianfeng has been pampered since he married His Highness Jing, and if he loses his wisdom back then, if Qianfeng dominates the army of the Protoss, I am afraid it will lead to the disaster of annihilation!"

"Then how do you think the Protoss should defend against the enemy for today's plan?"

"The Imperial Army's magic crystal cannon is very powerful, the firing distance is long, the power is great, even if the accuracy is insufficient, it is still very terrifying, enough to dominate the entire battlefield, and the canopy energy of Tongtian Gorge is not as good as day by day, as long as the imperial army gathers enough magic crystal cannons, it can blast open the canopy, and take advance tactics to fight into Tongtian Gorge step by step, the narrow terrain of Tongtian Gorge is not conducive to the operation of large corps, it is extremely difficult to use roundabout tactics, once the human beings transport the magic crystal cannon in, Tongtian Gorge will become the burial place of hundreds of thousands of warriors of my god clan. So ......"

Shen Baichuan took a deep breath, his eyes were full of wisdom, and said: "If I were to lead the army, I would order the Protoss army to withdraw from Tongtian Gorge, abandon the Divine Capital, enter the Eight Wastelands, and advance by retreating, disperse the forces of the armor demons, connect the Northern Desert tribes from the north, form an alliance with them, kill the northern gate of the Imperial Cloud Province, and kill the Imperial Army from the plains by surprise, as long as the Cloud Province is in hand, we will have the capital to continue to compete with the human race." Father, the so-called impermanence of water and impermanence of soldiers, if we are trapped in Tongtianxia, it is destined to lead to destruction, the child is all he says, please father judge the situation!"

Shen Xiang sat down on the stone bench again, the cold stool made his ass cold, and after a while, Shen Xiang said, "Why do you think that His Majesty the God Emperor will appreciate you and make you handsome?"

"Because ......"

The corners of Shen Baichuan's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "Because the Zhongnan family has 100,000 iron horses in the Eight Wastelands, and these 100,000 iron horses can protect Your Majesty's safety, if Your Majesty does not retreat into the Eight Wastelands, then our 100,000 Iron Horses will not be able to provide such shelter for Your Majesty." ”

Shen Xiang was stunned: "Baichuan, what do you mean by this?"

"The child's meaning is very clear, Feng Yuan can be the emperor of the Protoss, and Shen Xiang can also be the emperor of the Protoss, if Feng Yuan insists on going his own way, there is no way for this emperor to continue to be the emperor. ”

"You ......"

Shen Xiang pondered for a long time, waved his hand, and said: "I'm tired, I want to go and sleep for a while, everything, Baichuan, you can decide for yourself, this is the golden seal of the Zhongnan family, you have to use it properly." ”

With that, Shen Xiang stood up and walked to his room tremblingly, and two graceful maids hurriedly greeted him.

And Shen Baichuan looked at the stone table, the small and exquisite golden seal, this golden seal is the symbol of the highest power of the entire Zhongnan family, and it is the tiger talisman that mobilizes 100,000 iron horses, immediately Shen Baichuan's heart pounded violently, he is so close to the supreme power, isn't this the day he dreamed of?

The palm of his hand covered the armrest of the golden seal, and even the golden seal still had Shen Xiang's body temperature remaining.

"Father, look at it, I will definitely revive the entire Protoss!"

......

A hundred miles west of Lanyan City, a quaint city pass stands between the plains and endless forests in the empire, the town demon pass, a long-standing pass, is really the existence of this town demon pass, so that millions of demon clans will no longer invade the east, and protect the long-term peace of Lanyan City.

During Tang Xiaoxi's four years of slumber in Tongtian Gorge, the demon clan repeatedly harassed the pass, so much so that His Royal Highness Zetian ordered to increase the number of troops to 150,000 people in the town of Zhenxi Hou Tang Town, and at the same time, the town demon pass was also expanded again, becoming a huge city pass that was enough to accommodate 150,000 troops.

In the east of the pass, a man and a woman came side by side in the distance, not fast, but not slow.

"Look, sir...... There's someone coming there!" said a young soldier standing up, pointing out into the distance.

Under the pheasant, the middle-aged Shi Chang, who was drowsy with an iron gun, rubbed his eyes, glanced outside the wall, couldn't help frowning, and said: "It's strange, the birds in the town demon pass don't, and the western realm is a demon clan that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, who will come to the town demon pass? Could it be a poacher who wants to go to the endless forest to hunt spirit beasts?"

"It doesn't look like my lord, the leather robes that the two people are wearing...... It seems to have the Qin family's purple flower emblem. ”

"Huh?"

Shi Chang squinted his eyes and looked at it, and couldn't help but tremble: "My God...... The man was wearing three golden stars and a royal robe, could it be...... One of the Three Kings?"

"And my lord, that woman is wearing the county lord's robe, I saw Tang Wei in Lanyan City, and she is wearing like this. ”

"That'...... It must be His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the Lord of Tang Xiaoxi!"

"Oh, no, yes...... Is it His Royal Highness the King of Qin, who has become a god?"

At this time, Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi had already come to the city, the two of them jumped up and flew over the city easily, Tang Xiaoxi looked at a group of imperial soldiers who were stunned and didn't know whether to release the arrows, and said with a smile: "Don't stand stupidly, go and inform Lord Tang Zhen, just say that Tang Xiaoxi and Lin Muyu are here." ”

"Yes...... It's ......" a captain was flattered and crawled down.

Before long, a warrior wearing a silver robe galloped from the cold stone steps, it was Tang Zhen, as soon as he saw Lin Muyu and Tang Xiaoxi in the air, Tang Zhen's body immediately trembled, knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists and said: "Subordinate Tang Zhen, see His Royal Highness King Qin, see Lord Xijun!"

"You don't have to be formal. ”

Tang Xiaoxi fell down suddenly, lifted Tang Zhen's arms, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard to guard the town demon pass for so many years." ”

"It's not hard. ”

Tang Zhen was a little bitter, and said: "Lord Xi, you are finally back, because Hu Yan has not seen the Lord of Xi for too long, he thinks that the empire has killed you, the county lord, so he has repeatedly violated the realm, and in the past few years, the town demon pass has been in constant turmoil, and more than 20,000 soldiers have died because of this......"

Tang Xiaoxi was stunned, and said softly: "Well, I know, in the afternoon, I will go to the Endless Forest with Mu Mu to see Ling Huyan, don't worry, the demon clan will no longer disturb the demon pass." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xi!"

Tang Zhen was grateful, and said: "At noon, the subordinates will hold a banquet in the pass to entertain His Royal Highness and the county lord. ”

Tang Xiaoxi smiled: "Well, it's okay, then you send an envoy to hold the Tang Gate Iron Order as a token, go to the Endless Forest to see Ling Huyan, and let her come to the Demon Control Pass to make amends." ”

"Yes!" Tang Zhen was overjoyed.
