When Lucius stepped into Songjiang City and looked at the city that was almost suspended in the center of the river where the three tributaries of the Tianjiang River converged, he had to admit that he was able to build such a magnificent city in such a place, and he really admired the boldness and ingenuity of the builders.

Standing in Songjiang Castle, you can even vaguely feel the feeling of the river rushing under your feet, and this momentum alone will make people feel very shocked.

Stepping into the city, Lucius was also shocked by such a bold design, and the various powerful fortifications in Songjiang Castle, as well as those buildings formed by the intersection of the Western Regions and the Middle Earth civilizations, as well as many internal structures, made people feel overwhelmed.

Lucius was not in a hurry to meet the brute and Li Jiangxiao, but instead led Caroline, Moddie and Qi Lier around the city to enjoy the unique scenery of this city on the river.

And at this time, the rebellious demon clan led by the barbarian mark quickly controlled the remaining demon clans in the city, obviously they planned to capture those demon clans as well.

Li Jiangxiao felt very inappropriate about the brute mark's approach, so he specially found Lu Xiusi, who was still enjoying the scenery, and said to Lu Xiusi bluntly: "Your Royal Highness Lu Xiusi, a certain family thinks that if you let those demon clans do something big like this, please restrain those demon clans." ”

Lu Xius looked at Li Jiangxiao with some puzzlement and asked, "General Li, why do you think that I am letting the demon clan go unchecked? Could it be that the demon clan in the city surrenders, and we have to refuse?"

Li Jiangxiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then continued: "But Your Highness, now there are many demon clan soldiers under the command of Barbarian Scar, if he is allowed to capture all the demon clans in the city, then the troops under his command will far exceed mine, will he lose his restraint and control over them?"

Lucius couldn't help but smile and asked, "What does General Li mean is that those demon clans may betray me?

Li Jiangxiao nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, the so-called non-our race will have different hearts. After all, the demon clan has a deep grudge against us, and if the brute gets enough troops, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not betray you again, and if they take the opportunity to march north, we will have no way to stop them. ”

I have to admit that although Li Jiangxiao is a person with a strong desire for power, his analysis of the situation is still very good, and he does have many unique insights.

His analysis of the demon clan and the current situation, even if Lecius can't find any problems, must admit that there is indeed a possibility of the kind he analyzed.

But in Lucius's opinion. Although there is the possibility that Li Jiangxiao analyzed, but thinking that they have already handed over their essence and blood to themselves, it can be said that their life and death are controlled by themselves, so it is almost impossible for them to betray themselves.

So with such insurance, Lu Xius was not worried that Barbarian Scar would betray him, so he said to Li Jiangxiao very indifferently: "General Li, in fact, you don't have to worry, it is impossible for Barbarian Scar to betray me, because his essence and blood are in my hands." He has to be loyal to me. ”

Hearing what Lucius said, Li Jiangxiao knew that some of his goals were difficult to achieve, and although he was quite unwilling, he had no way to continue to say anything.

As a matter of fact. Li Jiangxiao asked Lucius to give the brute scar eye medicine, but the key was that he was worried that there were too many troops under the command of the brute scar, and when the time came, he would seize his position and make himself the garrison on the south bank of the Tianjiang River. In the end, it was reduced to a dispensable chicken rib.

Lucius quickly thought of this, and knew Li Jiangxiao's worries, so when Li Jiangxiao wanted to say goodbye and leave, he said, "General Li." In fact, you don't have to worry, the barbarians will soon participate in the attack on the south, and the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the south bank of the Tianjiang River will still fall on you. ”

Hearing what Lucius said, Li Jiangxiao was stunned for a moment, but soon came to his senses, knowing that this was a promise made by Lucius to himself, to hand over the garrison on the south bank of the Tianjiang River to himself.

Li Jiangxiao hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted Lucius: "Thank you Your Highness for your promotion, Li Jiangxiao will definitely live up to His Highness's trust." ”

After that, Li Jiangxiao got up and left very happily, and there was no longer the previous malaise, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits.

Looking at Li Jiangxiao's departing back, Caroline couldn't help but speak: "Lucius, are you really sure, such a guy, can you rest assured that you will hand over the matter of garrisoning the three cities on the south bank to him?

Lucius looked at Caroline with a smile and said, "Hehe, I can't imagine that Caroline, you still have such a high level of political insight, can you actually think that Li Jiangxiao may take refuge in someone else, which is not good for me?"

Caroline pursed her lips and sneered: "You don't come, you actually already know about it, and besides, this kind of thing, it can be seen from some of the news of the Tang Dynasty passed on to us by my aunt, you can be regarded as a thorn in the side of many people in the Tang Dynasty, if those guys contact this Li Jiangxiao, I'm afraid this guy will definitely take refuge in others." ”

Modès also spoke: "Yes, this Li Jiangxiao is obviously a wallgrass, and he has a great desire for power, as long as someone promises him more things and greater power, he will definitely not be loyal to you." ”

Lucius nodded: "What your sister said is right, but you are wrong about one thing, I don't really need Li Jiangxiao to be loyal to me, he just needs to be loyal to the second saint." ”

Caroline and Modès suddenly looked puzzled, not understanding what Lucius meant by this?

Lucius looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Don't forget, we are now in the East, in Middle-earth, in the Tang Empire, and if Li Jiangxiao is loyal to me, doesn't it mean that I want to overthrow the Tang Empire? ”

Caroline continued to ask: "However, even if Li Jiangxiao is loyal to the Second Sage, is it hard to guarantee that he will not help those who are hostile to you? ”

Lucius shook his head and said: "No, in the entire Tang Empire, the only person who can give her the most power is the Second Sage, so if he wants to gain the greatest power, he must be loyal to the Second Sage, as long as he is loyal to the Second Sage, he will not do anything unfavorable to me, unless the Second Sage also wants to get rid of me." ”

Spreading his hands, Lucius smiled and said, "But now, the Tang Empire needs me, and the Second Sage also needs me, so the Second Sage will help me deal with those guys who are hostile to me, and we don't have any worries at all." ”

Lecius's words made Caroline and Modès suddenly understand their current situation, as long as they are loyal to the Tang Empire and are helping the two saints to do things, then they will not have any worries, and those who are hostile to them will naturally have the two saints to help them deal with them.

In the next few days, the barbarian traces finally captured the remnants of the demon clan in Songjiang City, and Lucius and the others also cleaned up Songjiang City and rebuilt the bridge connecting the north bank of the Tianjiang River.

At the same time, Lucius sent someone to pass the news to Du Liniang, and asked Du Liniang to lead the mechanical corps and the Jiangbei army to Songjiang City to join him.

During this period, there were some people in Jiangbei who tried to enter Songjiang City, and even wanted to take away the control of Songjiang City from Lucius, but most of them were sent away by Lucius, and after the Holy Emperor and the Holy Empress issued an edict admitting that Lucius had control over Songjiang City, those who tried to seize Songjiang City also settled down.

After waiting in Songjiang City for about ten days, Du Liniang and the others finally led the army belatedly, and the army looked like it had experienced some wars, which made Lucius feel a little puzzled?

When all the troops entered the city, Luciustone Guò Du Liniang recounted that it was only when their army rushed to Songjiang City that they had been intercepted several times, so they were delayed for some time, and it took them more than ten days to arrive.

Hearing that someone actually intercepted Du Liniang and them, and it was on the north bank of the river, Lu Xiuston felt a little annoyed: "Damn, are those guys really so blatant? This is a blatant attempt to subvert the Tang Empire? ”

Seeing Lu Xiusius's annoyed look, Du Liniang smiled and said, "Hehe, in fact, this is easy to understand, after all, your current appearance is too strong. ”

Christine also echoed: "That is, you sneaked into the south bank alone, and captured the three important cities along the river on the south bank alone, and also surrendered the only heir of the demon emperor, you are such a powerful means, if I were those guys in the fairy domain and the Buddha country, I am afraid that I will directly send someone to kill you." ”

As soon as Christine's words fell, a crack suddenly opened in the sky, and then several black shadows rushed out of the crack and went straight towards Lucius unceremoniously.

Seeing that someone had actually assassinated him, Luciuston couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Christine, can't you read me? ”

Although he was facing the assassination, Lucius didn't care, but continued to tease Christine, which made the few figures who came to assassinate him feel very annoyed, and those black shadows burst out with all their strength, almost recklessly pounced on Lucius, and had the posture of burning with Lucius.

It's a pity that they still underestimated Lucius's strength after all, and just when they were about to pounce on Lucius's jade, No. 3 and No. 4 suddenly rushed out, forming a huge net, directly blocking all those black shadows.

On the other side, a few mechanical warriors rushed out, not giving those black shadows time to react, they directly rushed forward and raised the guns in their hands, and fired at the black shadows.

Poor fellows who assassinated Lecius, before they had time to react, they were shot to death by those mechanical warriors, and they didn't even have a chance to escape, until the moment they died, I am afraid they never thought that their assassination would be so easily cracked.

Lucius stepped forward to take a closer look at the black shadows, and found that all of them were humans, and none of them were demons, which made Lucius feel a little surprised. (To be continued......)
