Chapter 248: Fighting in the Northland

"Is it General Meng who underestimated the enemy, or does this guy really have amazing abilities? However, he is too young, if there is no huge force behind him, how can he achieve today's achievements? But under the sky, apart from the Divine Court, what other forces can quietly cultivate such a Tianjiao? Could it be that he came from that place?" Lu Ya looked at the slightly chubby officer in front of him with interest, and countless question marks flashed in his heart.

She can't know what the answer is, but at least she won't believe that a homeless man from the grassroots can become a famous figure in the continent with his personal ability in just over a year, and can compete with Meng Yi and Feng Wuyan.

Because there are too many puzzles, she does not regard Zhu Xiaoqi as her enemy for the time being. There will be a war between the Rising Sun and the Celestial Dragons in the future, but the war between the empires has nothing to do with her, and what she has to do is to bring the best talents under her command to achieve an incomparably grand goal. Perhaps Meng Yi also thought of this, so he took the initiative to take a step back in the Northland, achieving his reputation and giving him the time and space he needed to grow.

It's been a few months since the war in the Northland ended. She was really curious if he would be able to perform amazingly after all these months. If he can create another miracle under the siege of the elite troops of the Rising Sun and Fengwu, then this young man really deserves her enough attention to investigate his background.

Just as she was thinking, the slightly chubby guy on the other side suddenly winked at her and looked at her with an almost provocative look.

Lu Ya smiled faintly, and a bright autumn wave gently floated out. The guy's expression froze visibly, and then he raised his hand and touched his nose, his lips moving slightly, as if to say something to her.

"Ahem!" a Colonel Tianlong of the director's department coughed lightly twice, his face a little unhappy. He introduced the rules of the half-day exercise, and the commanders of the two exercise detachments actually listened absent-mindedly, and they were still frowning under the noses of a group of people. Even if you know that you will lose, but before the exercise begins, can you have a little military integrity and dignity?

Once your detachment violates the rules during the exercise, it will be regarded as an automatic withdrawal from the exercise by the director's department. His eyes fell on Zhu Xiaoqi, and he asked in a deep voice.

"The use of spiritual power is restricted during the battle, the detachment must not move beyond the set area, must not cause fatal injury to the participants, and must not abuse the prisoners......" Zhu Xiaoqi opened his mouth, succinctly repeated the rules, and finally suddenly asked, "How to define this abuse of prisoners? As long as it does not cause physical harm, it should not be considered abuse, right?"

This question made the Tianlong officers of the director's department collectively speechless. The prohibition of mistreatment of prisoners, but they deliberately put forward it, the purpose was to save the last face of the Tianlong exercise detachment, so as not to make too much of a mess in front of everyone. You asked so carefully, are you afraid that others will not abuse you?

"I'm also curious about this question. Please give a detailed explanation from the director's department. Lu Ya smiled slightly, looked at the Tianlong officer who spoke, and asked.

This will be explained in detail in the exercise materials to be released later. The officer replied with a straight face, "Do you have any questions?"

"Yes......" Zhu Xiaoqi said again, "If there are no clear means that cannot be used by the rules, it is not considered a foul, right?"

"Of course. One of the officers of the Rising Sun replied contemptuously, "What means, even if you use it, this is an exercise close to actual combat." ”

"That's good. I'm fine. Zhu Xiaoqi nodded with satisfaction.

At the end of the meeting, the group walked out of the exercise headquarters. Lu Ya walked quickly to Zhu Xiaoqi's side and asked in a low voice, "What did you just say to me?"

"There is a fight in the Northland......" Zhu Xiaoqi turned his head to look at her and smiled slightly, and strode away.

"Northland?" Lu Ya looked at the distant back in a daze, speechless for a long time.

Zhu Xiaoqi's words made a terrible guess come true, which shocked her inexplicably. She suddenly realized that this young man's glorious past was no fluke.

After Meng Yi returned from the Northland, he had a long talk with her. He believes that the worst possible consequence of the collapse of the plan to annex the Wolves is to plunge the Wolves into a protracted civil war. Judging from all indications, Zhu Xiaoqi's hand has reached into the northern land of the wolf clan, and he has a close connection with the son of the wolf sea, Wolf Fang. If he can gain enough trust from the Wolf Fang, the two forces together can easily seize control of the Wolf Clan's northern lands, and the power of the Wolf Fang will skyrocket in the short term. As a result, the Northland will be plunged into a new war, which is likely to pose a serious threat to the current rulers of the Wolf Clan, driven by various factors.

Considering that Zhu Xiaoqi actually invited reinforcements from the Sand Tribes in the First Battle of the Desert, it is entirely possible that the Sand Tribes will intervene in future wars. In this way, the wolf clan is likely to be plunged into a full-scale civil war. Once the war develops in favor of the wolf fang, his father's huge influence in the wolf clan will be completely unleashed, and countless low-level people who have survived the war will inevitably become his followers.

When the situation of the civil war of the wolf clan is critical, then the Empire of the Rising Sun will have to intervene in this war. To what extent the involvement will be and when the war will end, because of Zhu Xiaoqi's existence, will be full of variables. This can definitely be said to be a blow to the Rising Sun Empire, which is eager to use troops against the Celestial Dragon.

Lu Ya once asked Meng Yi what was the point of Zhu Xiaoqi doing this, because she felt that the war of the wolf clan could not save Tianlong's fate. Meng Yi said with a smile, from a small point of view, Zhu Xiaoqi is treating him in the way of others, and he is a person who must get it back where he suffers. And if you look at the big picture, Zhu Xiaoqi's distant fall is likely to become a clever hand to break the overall situation of the Rising Sun War. It may not be long before he opens up a second battlefield in the land of the wolf clan between the Celestial Dragon and the Rising Sun. It was a battlefield that was completely under his control, where he would have the right time and place. Even if the Draco army loses on the main battlefield, the country will still have a huge strategic room for maneuver. When the Rising Sun's quick battle plan is aborted, the Celestial Dragon, an empire with a deep war heritage and huge wealth, is likely to win a new life in the baptism of war. At that time, the war may be completely out of the imagination of the Rising Sun Empire, and the situation on the continent may also change profoundly because of this war. Whoever is a friend and who is an enemy will change as the war progresses.

And Zhu Xiaoqi told her the news personally, which seemed like a provocation, but in fact it showed his extraordinary confidence - he had enough ability to make the wolf clan civil war develop in the direction he expected, he was waiting for the Rising Sun army in the north, and he was going to start a head-to-head battle with the number one military power in the Western Continent.

"It seems that this exercise is really full of variables!" Lu Ya sighed lightly, shook her head with a wry smile, and walked towards the station.

Walking in the town at dusk, smelling the aroma of food in the air, Zhu Xiaoqi suddenly remembered the distant mountain village, the peaceful life of sunrise and sunset, and the girl who sat under the willow tree by the river every day and looked forward to his return, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour.

Time changed him and set him on a path he had never thought of, and he made remarkable achievements along the way. And in the future, under his careful design, it may become even more brilliant. However, such a life is actually full of helplessness and loneliness. At least, he can no longer eat the love meal prepared by her, he can't see the delicate face that is happy because of him, and he can't hear her voice full of worry. However, he knew that if he went down this path, she might be waiting for him somewhere ahead, and that he would have the strength to protect her by that time. And the mysteries surrounding him, he must also unravel, after all, he has too many people's hopes on him. They are either dead or quietly watching him somewhere.

As for those enemies hidden in the shadows, whether imperial or theocratic, as long as they have hurt him and his relatives, he will make them pay the price of blood. Blood for blood, tooth for tooth, this is the style of the Li family, and it is also his style. Since fate has given him a chance to rise, he will not waste this great youth in vain.

At the corner of the street, a girl in a light green dress stood quietly.

The figure looked extremely perfect, but Zhu Xiaoqi didn't dare to look at it more, because the cold mask on the girl's face seemed to have the power to freeze people's hearts, making him feel cold all over his body.

Feng Wuyan is waiting for him here.

"Have you read the letter?" Zhu Xiaoqi stood a few meters away from her and asked softly.

"Hmm. Feng Wuyan nodded, "Why did you make such an inference?"

"Hundreds of years of history, there have been too many coincidences. I think you should also know in your heart that if it weren't for the intervention of the Divine Court, it would be impossible for the Fengwu Empire to block the Meizu again and again. Zhu Xiaoqi said calmly.

Feng Wuyan looked at him with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Your eyes are poisonous. However, this is nothing more than the beginning of a new reincarnation. The power of darkness will eventually retreat under the light of God. Do you think this time will be any different?" she sighed.

"I don't know. But I have a fear in my heart that maybe one day in the future, this contest will destroy everything we cherish. Darkness represents evil, light represents justice, do you really think that in your heart?"

Under the cover of the mask, she couldn't see Feng Wuyan's expression clearly, but the faint light in her beautiful eyes revealed the strong fluctuations in her inner emotions.

"There are some things that we can't change. The higher your ambition, the harder your path will be. She stared at the young man in front of her and sighed.

"The mountains are high and the people are the peaks. My declaration with Long Rui is not a joke. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled and said, "It's just you, can you decide?"

"I hope we'll be friends. However, in the face of the interests of the empire, personal emotions are always pale. I can only promise you that my blade should be directed at your chest, not at your back. Feng Wuyan said coldly.

"That's enough. Zhu Xiaoqi smiled loudly.

"I'm a little hungry. There's a snack bar over there, I'll treat you to something to eat and treat it as a reward, how about it?" he sent an invitation to Feng Wuyan.

"Okay!" Feng Wuyan readily agreed.
