Chapter 168: Deceit

Military Mansion, the most important place in Lingyan City except for Lingyan Tower. Ning Shicong, the king of Ning, naturally wants to entrench in the Lingyan Tower now, and the military mansion is full of people from Hualai Mansion.

Wang Chengwu sat expressionlessly on the main seat, and on his right hand, it was the veteran Zhao Xing who was sitting on his face. At the bottom of the hall, there was a person kneeling at this moment, and he had just explained a thing clearly here. If Li Mingyang was here, he would definitely recognize this person as Yang Tengyang's shopkeeper who had just sold him the news.

"He doesn't have any suspicions about you. On the second seat, Zhao Xing asked.

"Back to the general, I didn't show any flaws, he shouldn't suspect me, and in the end, Xiao privately decided to raise the price to three thousand high-grade spirit stones, so that he thought that I just wanted to make a lot of money, and he would definitely not think about anything else. Yang Teng said with his head pressed very low.

Zhao Xing nodded: "Okay, you did a good job this time, go down and receive the reward." ”

Yang Teng was pardoned, and after thanking him, he hurriedly retreated.

"Mansion master, that kid will definitely not survive now. After Yang Teng left, Zhao Xing squinted his eyes and said.

Wang Chengwu frowned slightly, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "My dignified Hualai Mansion master wants to clean up a stinky boy who has not dried up and even uses this method, if it is spread out, hum......"

Zhao Xing smiled and said, "Why is the mansion master angry because of this little thing, now is an extraordinary time after all, Ning Shicong doesn't know why he suddenly became stronger." This is not good news, but let's be at ease. ”

"It's a little restless again, Lao Tzu is a little annoyed, what does he Ning Shicong have, his combat power is not as good as mine, on the fierce generals, there are not many fierce generals under him, even if it is a capable person, the so-called second-level divine master Ouyang Yuanpu under him is just an old craftsman, what else will he do except play the Xuan Chain. It's such a piece of waste, we're afraid of what he's doing. Wang Chengwu shouted excitedly.

Zhao Xing hurriedly looked around, and only after finding that the soundproof magic circle was still strong, and all the people around him were confidants.

"It is precisely because of his Ning Shicong waste that we can find a chance to turn over. But after all, he sits on the land of the three mansions, and we have been running Hualai Mansion for many years and have not been able to make all the people of the mansion submit, nominally he is the king here after all, so we just have to wait until the most suitable time to make a move. Seeing that Wang Chengwu was still quite unconvinced, Zhao Xing could only continue: "Actually, this rebellion in Nong'an Mansion is a good opportunity, but I didn't expect that at this time, Ning Shicong suddenly decided to destroy the rebels in Nong'an Mansion. Do you know what that means, my lord?"

"What does it mean?" Wang Chengwu asked, in terms of strategy, he has always been obedient to Zhao Xing.

"It means that King Ning still has hole cards, we thought that he only had the power to defend the city in the face of this rebellion, but now he intends to take the initiative, which proves that he has the ability to fight on two fronts. Zhao Xing analyzed.

Wang Chengwu frowned: "He is fighting on two fronts, and taking the initiative to attack is also a one-line battle." ”

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and said, "My lord of the mansion, do you still think that King Ning is unwary of us." He must have been on guard against us for a long time, but even so, he dared to brazenly decide to send troops, which proved that he was capable of suppressing bandits in Nong'an Mansion, and he could still prevent our sudden dispatch. ”

"How is this possible, I don't know how many people he Ning Shicong has?" Wang Chengwu looked very excited.

Zhao Xing could only shake his head and said lightly: "Lord of the Mansion, don't underestimate Ning Shicong too much, let's continue to wait and see." ”

"Hmph, I'll wait at most for him to send troops to Nong'an Mansion, as long as he dares to move, I dare to move him. Wang Chengwu coaxed back to the main seat.

At this moment, a cronie stepped forward and said, "Mansion Master, the spies have come to report that Li Mingyang has gone to Lingyan Tower." ”

"What is he doing in Lingyan Tower? Could it be that he can see our plan?" Wang Chengwu stood up in confusion.

Zhao Xing frowned: "Impossible, even if he sees it, he won't go to King Ning." ”

The cronies interrupted the conversation between the two bigwigs and said, "The spies also reported that Li Mingyang went to Lingyan Tower to find King Ning to borrow someone. ”

"Borrowing someone?" Zhao Xing suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, and immediately said: "I'll go and see, if I can easily let King Ning lose some manpower, it would be really good." ”――

On the Lingyan Tower, Ning Shicong looked at the official document handed over by Li Mingyang and asked, "Do you really plan to exterminate a hundred ghost villages?"

"Yes, I accidentally found the location of a hundred ghost village, and the strength of the real ghost in that hundred ghost village is not very strong, so I went to try it. First of all, I can exercise the ability to lead troops into battle, and secondly, I can get a large amount of Yin Jade by destroying the Hundred Ghost Village, and I can also better practice arranging the Xuan Chain. The more materials you have, the better you can practice, and my success rate is too low. Li Mingyang said the prepared remarks seemingly casually.

King Ning pondered in silence, as if he was a little moved.

After listening to Li Mingyang's reasoning, Ouyang Yuanpu snorted unceremoniously and coldly: "Hmph, a good divine master doesn't study the Xuan Chain more, but he still has to study leading troops to fight." You, you, in this life, is the life of a first-level divine master, and Zhao Xing has the same virtue. ”

Glancing at Ouyang Yuanpu, who had an arrogant face, Li Mingyang said extremely respectfully: "What the seniors have taught is that the talent of the younger generations is really limited, and it is too difficult to explore the Divine Xuan Master, so I can only try other development directions." ”

Ouyang Yuanpu continued to snort coldly: "There is no cure. ”

King Ning smiled and started the round: "Mr. Ouyang, don't be in a hurry to make a conclusion, Fame is still young after all, and it is understandable that young people want to have more opportunities for development." After speaking, King Ning looked at Li Mingyang and asked, "How many people do you plan to take with you, and how long will you go?" Do you have a preliminary battle plan?"

"According to the analysis, I feel that about five hundred elite soldiers are needed, and that hundred ghost villages are not very strong, these people are enough. As for the battle plan, I really don't know much about this, so I can only ask King Ning to send another general who is good at this way to help lead the team. Li Mingyang said his request.

King Ning nodded, and was just about to give orders to go down and prepare men, but he heard his subordinates suddenly report: "Old General Zhao Xing asks to see." ”

"Zhao Xing, what is he doing here?" King Ning was stunned for a moment, but immediately said, "Hurry up and invite Old General Zhao." ”

Zhao Xing walked in a tiger's wind, and walked to the top of Lingyan Tower in three or two steps. After answering the salute, King Ning asked, "I don't know what the old general is here for?"

"The subordinates came up with a plan today, which seems to be of some help to recover the Nong'an Mansion, and after thinking about it, I decided to dedicate it to the prince. Zhao Xing said.

"Okay, show it to me. ”

After that, Li Mingyang listened to the discussion between King Ning and Zhao Xingxu for more than half an hour before finally completing this conversation in which both parties were actually uninterested.

Zhao Xing finished his strategy, and when he turned around, he "coincidentally" saw Li Mingyang on the side, and immediately said "excitedly": "Mingyang, what are you doing here?"

"The old general didn't know, Mingyang received a news about Baigui Village today, he was itchy for a while, so he wanted to try to exercise his ability to lead troops to fight, and he came here today to borrow troops from this king. It just so happens that our matter has also been discussed, so let's tell the old general what you think about this matter. King Ning said slowly behind him.

Zhao Xing glanced at Li Mingyang more and more "unexpectedly", and slapped him on the shoulder: "Good boy, really a good man." The eldest husband should ride the battlefield and gallop and kill. ”

"Hmph, what is the praise of the way of the reckless man, it is not a shame for the dignified divine master to fight with others. As soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, Ouyang Yuanpu also criticized mercilessly.

Obviously, Zhao Xing is much older than Li Mingyang, so he didn't hear Ouyang Yuanpu's voice at all, and continued to say to Li Mingyang: "But you are too young now, and it is a little dangerous to go to exterminate Baigui Village in the first battle." ”

"This king also means this, but Mingyang is confident this time, and this is indeed a good opportunity to experience, so this king still thinks that this battle is worth fighting. Li Mingyang didn't answer, but King Ning said on the side.

Zhao Xing bowed his body and said: "The prince's love for talent is really deep, since the prince also thinks that this battle is worth a try, his subordinates can't say anything more frustrating, and the famous young man doesn't forget to continue to work hard, really good boy." ”

"That's exactly the case, but the old general just said that Fame is too young after all, and it is difficult to use force on the battlefield if he has no force, and he still has to send a capable subordinate in this battle. It's better to leave this matter to the old general, the Hualai Mansion Guards have excellent combat strength, and they have just experienced the battle of Lingyan City, and it is also the time when morale is strong. The five hundred elite soldiers needed to be famous will come out of the palace guards. By the way, the old general will send another experienced general and let him go with him. King Ning said very seriously.

After hearing this, Zhao Xing's face suddenly became unconsciously gloomy for a moment, and then he hurriedly said with a smirk: "This is not good, the guards of Hualai Mansion are definitely not as good as the elite ...... of the palace."

"This king came out too quickly this time, and only brought a total of 1,000 guards, and the old general didn't want this king to divide half of his troops and let Mingyang take it away. King Ning smiled and said: "It's so decided, you go back and say that the lord of the palace will do his best to transfer five hundred elite soldiers to Mingyang, and Mingyang will set off early tomorrow morning." ”

Zhao Xing still wanted to refute, but after seeing King Ning's face, he hurriedly changed his words: "Don't worry, the prince attaches so much importance to the palace guards is the glory of the men of Hualai Mansion like us, and his subordinates will definitely arrange the most elite five hundred sergeants for Mingyang, and they will definitely make Mingyang successful." ”

"That's very good. King Ning smiled slightly and looked at Li Mingyang: "Mingyang, what do you think?"

"Thank you, Lord Wang, thank you old general. Li Mingyang said respectfully.

"You still have a lot to thank the lord of the palace. King Ning laughed, and there was an indescribable joy in his laughter.

Li Mingyang also smiled happily, but he already felt that something was wrong about this matter-

In the military mansion, Wang Chengwu angrily threw something that could be dropped in the room, and scolded viciously: "Okay, you Ning Shicong, you are really good, the calculating people have calculated on Lao Tzu's head." ”

Zhao Xing's face was also gloomy, but he could only stubbornly say: "This matter may just be that King Ning suddenly wants to test us, it shouldn't be obvious that we are deceitful to deal with Li Mingyang, otherwise, he would not be able to contribute to this matter single-handedly." Sacrifice 500 sergeants, sacrifice 500 sergeants, and I will send people directly to the residential area of Jingshan City early tomorrow morning, and then personally send Li Mingyang out of the city. At that time, he Ning Shicong didn't know what kind of sergeant I arranged, and the loss of five hundred remnants of the defeated general was not a loss, after all, it was unrealistic to deal with a Shenxuan master who was valued by King Ning, and there was no loss at all. ”

Wang Chengwu stood there angrily, without saying a word-

In the residential area of Jingshan City, Guo Yunshan came out and asked, "How is it, have you borrowed someone?"

"I borrowed it, but I realized that something was wrong. Li Mingyang told what he had seen and heard in the Lingyan Tower.

Guo Yunshan tasted the product, but in the end he could only frown and said: "You also said before that there is a gap between King Ning and the palace master, and obviously both sides know each other's thoughts, this matter is very likely to just happen to appear, and King Ning pushed the matter to the side of the mansion master." ”

"I thought so, but I just felt like it was a little weird. Li Ming raised his eyebrows and said with a frown. But after analyzing it with Guo Yunshan, he found that he couldn't see anything wrong, so he had to give up in the end.

After all, tomorrow Zhao Xing is going to arrange five hundred elites to leave with him, and it is enough to borrow someone.

It's just that before cultivating at night, Li Mingyang suddenly thought of a question: "Isn't there a gap between the mansion master and King Ning, Zhao Xing is a close confidant of the mansion master, why would he take the initiative to give advice to King Ning?"

After thinking for a long time, Li Mingyang said to himself: "Could it be that Wang Chengwu is planning to take advantage of King Ning's conquest of Nong'an Mansion to raise troops to confront King Ning?"

Li Mingyang was also surprised when he thought of this speculation, but soon forgot about it. He really wasn't interested in studying this kind of thing.

Early the next morning, Li Mingyang had just woken up from his meditation, and he saw He Chaorong hurriedly walking in again.

"My lord, a group of people suddenly came outside, and an old general said he wanted to see you. He Chaorong said.

"Old general?" Li Mingyang was startled and hurriedly greeted him.

For Zhao Xing's efficiency and enthusiasm, Li Mingyang was really surprised. However, being able to borrow someone so smoothly and set off so early is the situation that Li Mingyang is looking forward to the most. Although it can be seen that the people sent by Zhao Xing are obviously not elite soldiers, more than half of them even only have the Phantom Realm double cultivation, and only more than a hundred people are the Illusion Spirit Realm triple cultivation, but it is enough to have these people set off together.

The person who led the troops was also quite surprising to Li Mingyang, this person was the first cultivator of the Qingling Realm who came out to let him arrange the Xuanlian when he first showed his strength as a Divine Master in Lingyan City. Although he has no friendship with him, being able to meet acquaintances at this time makes Li Mingyang feel much better.

Holding the map and pointing it in the direction, Li Ming's arm was raised high: "Let's go." ”
