In the southwest of the Huanhua Wetland, General Li walked around his room, his steps seemed so chaotic, but his heart was extremely anxious, because he had been left here by General Shang for half a month for various reasons.

At this time, a subordinate spoke: "General, now the domestic situation is changing rapidly, and the rivers and mountains of Nanyue are in danger, but how can the subordinates think that this General Shang has no intention of returning to China at all?" ”

General Li is a loyal person, he didn't think of people in a bad way at all, and said casually: "Hey, he also has his difficulties, after all, he was sent out to find the traces of Tianxuanling, and now he wants to go back empty-handed, if that Zhu Yutong uses this to trouble him, he will not feel good." ”

The general shook his head and said, "But the last general feels that he is not concerned about this problem at all, but he doesn't want to go back to China at all now, so he is always looking for an interface to drag us down!" ”

"Hey, don't talk nonsense, as a general, the pillar of the country, how could he abolish the public for personal reasons, not to mention that you don't forget, his family is in the capital, will he abandon his family!" General Li snorted.

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter outside the door, and General Shang said: "Haha, General Li, good news, good news!" ”

General Li was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked General Shang, who strode in, "What good news?" Could it be that the general has decided to return home with his troops? ”

General Shang laughed and said: "General Li, don't worry, listen to me slowly, this news is much more useful than our return to China, and we should celebrate it greatly, so you see, I have brought all the wine and food, and we will not get drunk today, haha~~"

When General Li heard this, he became even more anxious and asked: "What kind of good news is it, General, you are about to say it, you are in a hurry to kill me!" ”

At this time, the subordinates had already placed all the wine and food, not much, just four hot dishes and four cold dishes, General Shang picked up a glass of wine and said to General Li: "Come to the general, let's have a drink first, and I'll tell you when it's done." ”

General Li had no choice but to have a drink with General Shang, and then he couldn't wait to speak: "Oh, my general, don't play with me anymore, say it quickly!" ”

General Shang laughed and said, "We have received accurate information, His Majesty the Emperor of the Yeyue Empire was furious about the outcome of the battle of Tianlei Pass, and decided to send troops to destroy the entire sect alliance and all the forces in it, but the matter of Tianxuanling has been temporarily put aside." ”

General Li frowned deeply when he heard this, and said: "There is no doubt that the Yeyue Empire is stronger than before, but now that the people have completed the repair of the Heavenly Thunder Pass, it may even be stronger than before, so that they will not forcibly recruit our army as cannon fodder, what good news is this, I think it is bad news." ”

"Hehe, you'd be wrong to think so." General Shang said and took a bite of food to himself, and said: "The Yeyue Empire does need cannon fodder troops when it comes, but we don't have troops anymore, so it's impossible for them to take the royal family's guards and royal forest army, and even if they want to go, it's not enough." ”

General Li said even more angrily: "Therefore, they will order us to recruit troops again, and in this way, the people's dissatisfaction with us will intensify, and maybe a large-scale rebellion will break out, and we don't have enough troops to suppress it, hmph, those dog things in the Yeyue Empire won't care about our life or death at all, you say, don't we just have to wait for death next!" The more General Li spoke, the more angry he became, and naturally he took a bite of the dish and drank another glass of wine.

At this time, General Shang laughed and said, "General Li, why did you only think of us, since the Yeyue Empire has a human being, and it is at least an army of more than two million, why don't we ask the army of the Yeyue Empire to help suppress the bandits on the grounds that the country is in turmoil and cannot afford to recruit soldiers, and then use those prisoners as cannon fodder battalions or something, won't this solve our troubles?" ”

When General Li heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said: "Yes, why didn't I think of this, in this way, even if we suppress the rebellion and catch cannon fodder, we can still keep our existing strength, it is really a good way to kill three birds with one stone, the general is really resourceful, haha." ”

General Shang also laughed, the two of them had eaten a lot of dishes unconsciously, and after chatting for a while, General Li said: "When is the general going to go back, now the emperor is short of manpower, and a person as talented as the general is the time to show his strength and build a miracle." ”

General Shang smiled and said, "I can't go back now, at least not at this time, if I go, I will definitely be recruited by the Yeyue Empire army that comes later." ”

When General Li heard this, he became anxious, and immediately said, "However, if you don't go back, I'm afraid that Your Majesty won't be able to support it for so long!" ”

General Shang sighed slightly and said, "Your Majesty's situation is really not good now, so I won't go back, but you have to rush back as soon as possible, General!" ”

General Li said with a sad face: "I want to go back, but it is useless for these hundreds of people under me to go back." ”

General Shang smiled and said: "Of course I won't let General Li go back like this, I will give you 30,000 troops, and you will claim to the outside world that it is the remnants of my former army that you collected in the Huanhua Wetland, and you have not found me at all." ”

General Li shook his head instantly and said, "Aren't you asking me to bully the king!" ”

General Shang spread his hands and said: "How is this a bully, you can tell Your Majesty about the matter, but you must hide it from the people of the Yeyue Empire, and when they all go to the Tianlei Pass, I will go back, in that way, my more than 100,000 troops can be saved!" ”

When General Li heard this, he pointed at General Shang, and his fingers trembled for a long time before he laughed and said, "You, you are really an old fox, can you give another 20,000 soldiers." ”

General Shang shook his head and said, "It can't be too much, too much will attract attention, thirty thousand, Your Majesty can just refuse the Yeyue Empire's recruitment of them on the grounds of protecting the capital!" ”

General Li thought about it and nodded yes, and then the two of them ate and drank for a while before General Shang left, and at this time, General Li's subordinate came over and said, "General, do you really believe what he said?" ”

General Li waved his hand and said: "There is no doubt that he has already given us 30,000 soldiers, with these 30,000 soldiers, although we cannot suppress the riot, but we have more than enough self-protection." ”

••••••

In a secret room in the Sin Domain of Linghua Sect, the black cloth on the head of the person from the Western Regions who had been sealed and cultivated was removed, he opened his eyes with difficulty, blinked vigorously before looking around, and suddenly found that there were more than a dozen people looking at him, slightly startled, but then calmed down again, raised his eyes and looked at them without flinching.

"Hehe, it's worthy of being an old monster who knows the slightest in life and death, and he is already facing a desperate situation, but he can still be calm, and he can't do it if he doesn't admire." Fang Lin said with a smile.

The people from the Western Regions just snorted coldly and didn't say anything, but at this time, Ayinata became excited and shouted: "Hehe, hard bones, I like it, Fang Lin, let me come, when the time comes, he will say whatever you tell him to say, my Gu worm has never drunk the blood of a powerhouse in the Life and Death Realm!" ”

As soon as the people of the Western Regions heard Fang Lin's name, they immediately showed a surprised expression and said, "You are Fang Lin, this is the Linghua Sect, not the Sangkun Sect of the Northern Kingdom!" ”

Li Haoran opened his mouth and said: "Fang Lin, it seems that your fame is really great, even the people of the Western Regions know about it, if you reach the realm of life and death in the future, I am afraid that the whole continent will know your name." ”

The people of the Western Regions didn't pay attention to Li Haoran's ridicule, looked at Fang Lin and said, "You are really Fang Lin, is this really Ling Hua Sect?" ”

Fang Lin nodded and said, "That's true, I'm not afraid of you running away when I get here, so there's no need to lie to you, but now you are not qualified to ask me questions, but you have to answer my questions!" ”

When the people of the Western Regions heard this, the words that were about to be blurted out below were suddenly stuck in their throats, and after a long time, they slowly exhaled and said, "Okay, if you want to know something, you can ask." ”

This person from the Western Regions was so cooperative that Fang Lin couldn't help but be stunned, but he still asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Ziggy." The people from the Western Regions replied simply.

"How long have you been stationed in the Huang family?" Fang Lin asked again.

"About three months."

Fang Lin frowned, this guy answered simply and concisely, so he continued to ask, "What is the purpose of your collusion with the Huang family?" ”

"No, that's not collusion, that's exploitation." Qi Ge retorted: "It's very simple, support the Huang family, control the Cheng Kingdom, unite the Bour Qi tribe and other major tribes in the north, and then wait for the opportunity to deal with Li Xianzong, so that the northern part of the Yeyue Empire will be completely chaotic." Ziggy said without hesitation.

Fang Lin and the others all glanced at each other when they heard this, and after a moment of silence, Fang Lin asked again: "I believe in this purpose of yours, but I don't know one thing, that is, if you want to control the Cheng Kingdom, it seems that it is easier to cooperate with the Meng family or the Xue family." ”

Qi Ge smiled when he heard this, and said: "Why don't you understand, the Meng family is too timid, they only seek themselves, and they have no ambitions, so they don't meet the requirements at all, and the Xue family is a herding rule, they will never cooperate with our people in the Western Regions, and they will sell us if they don't do it, while the Huang family is different, they are extremely ambitious, they obviously don't have that strength, but they still have to desperately raise a strong man in the realm of life and death, which shows that they are unwilling to be trapped in the pond, which just gives us a chance." ”

Listening to Qi Ge's words, Fang Lin couldn't help but nodded, it was true that this Huang family was very suitable for the requirements of the three major powers of the Western Regions, and then spoke: "But you should also know that they were the first to take refuge in Li Xianzong, and they were also the family that was appreciated by Li Xianzong, and they also sent a strong man who had a first glimpse of the realm of life and death, and you also dared to risk contacting them?" ”

Qi Ge said: "Since they have ambitions, they will not be willing to be driven by others, that strong man in the realm of life and death is both a guardian and a surveillance, everyone understands this, the Huang family is obedient on the surface, but behind the scenes, they don't know how many rebellious things they have done, such as selling some of Li Xianzong's intelligence to Bour Qibu, and incorporating many of Chengguo's finances into their own homes... ”

Fang Lin nodded again when he heard this, this time they destroyed the Huang family, and found that their family property was even more than the entire Cheng Kingdom, I am afraid that even the previous Heavenly Desolation Sect was much inferior.

Fang Lin continued: "But even one Chengguo, there is no power that can shake Li Xianzong, when the time comes, as long as they have the East Window incident, Li Xianzong does not need to do it himself, and order me Ling Huazong to destroy Chengguo, unless you three great powers fully support him." ”

Qi Ge smiled and said, "Of course it can't be done openly, but we can come to the dark, and besides, your Linghua Sect will definitely not deal with us, because Lord Dongfang Li said that as long as you know that I am his direct subordinate, not only will you not embarrass me, but you will also try your best to help me!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Lin and the others all changed their faces.

••••••

In the palace of the capital of Qi State, Li Xianzong slapped the imperial case in front of him into powder, and shouted angrily: "Okay, you Huang family, you dare to secretly collude with the people of the Western Regions, and want to step on two boats, what a big ambition." ”

Li Tianhui opened his mouth and said: "Father, that Huang family is really hateful, fortunately, this time the Five Dragons Palace came to take revenge, so that their conspiracy was exposed, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”

"Hmph, just a Huang family, what kind of wind and waves can it withstand, Dashuai, the last general will be sent to Chengguo to investigate this matter thoroughly, and by the way, hunt down the remnants of the Huang family who have absconded, and see what conspiracy the people of the Western Regions have!" Adjutant General Wang Yuan immediately stood up and shouted.

When Li Tianhui heard this, he immediately stood up and said loudly: "Father, let the child go to this matter, and promise to complete the task!" ”

Wang Yuan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, and a touch of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, this young marshal relied on his identity and would always compete with the generals in the army, which made most of the generals very disgusted with him, however, he didn't know it, and he was proud and arrogant.

However, this time Li Xianzong did not promise him as usual, but scolded: "When will you change your temperament, you will have to go when you encounter things, you will have to go to things when you encounter them, whether you are within the scope of your ability, the last time you attacked Ling Huazong, Ben Shuai gave you such a big opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but as a result, you, 20,000 elites were wiped out, and even you and the four ancestors of the Life and Death Realm were captured!" ”

"Father, I'm ••••••" Li Tianhui was about to distinguish a few words for himself, but was directly interrupted by Li Xianzong, and shouted: "The second time, you fought to be a special envoy to Linghuazong to rescue Shang Taijun, but what did you do, knowing that Fang Lin's identity was higher than you, but you still had to dictate in front of others, not only was you scolded by others, but you lost face, and even Shang Taijun was killed by others, but you still didn't know how to reflect, and you put all the responsibility on others!" ”

Immediately afterwards, without giving Li Tianhui a chance to speak, Li Xianzong continued: "Don't think that you don't know what you are doing in Rongguo, it is my Tiger Benwei 100,000 elites, and there are three cloud-piercing crossbows, all of which are folded on the battlefield of Longyin Pass, what do you say you have in your head, and it is not the first time that you have fought with that Fang Lin, but you don't even know the other party's means, you have suffered again and again, and the result is worse than the last, you say, what else can you do?" ”

Hearing Li Xianzong's scolding, Li Tianhui's face turned red, it was not that he felt ashamed, but he felt that his father was scolding him in front of so many people, and he didn't give him face, and he scolded Fang Lin in his heart, and his hatred for Fang Lin also rose to the extreme.

After scolding for a while and seeing that Li Tianhui was gone, Li Xianzong sighed slightly, after all, he is his only son, if he doesn't cultivate him, who else will he cultivate! So his tone softened, and he said, "Let's analyze, what do you need to pay attention to in this matter of the Huang family?" ”

Li Tianhui and Wang Yuan were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Li Xianzong to say such a thing, the joy that had just risen in Wang Yuan's eyes instantly dimmed again, and he secretly said in his heart: "Hey, after all, it's my own son, hehe, let's not think about it." ”

Li Tianhui's face was in ecstasy, and he opened his mouth and said: "The Huang family and the Five Dragons Hall have long formed an undying hatred, and this time the revenge of the Five Dragons Hall has also been confirmed, after all, Sima Yuanru also appeared in person, and there are also many elites of the Five Dragons Hall involved, so this can't be done by other powerful fake Five Dragons Hall leaders." ”

The generals couldn't help but pout when they heard the words, which everyone could see, and he actually took it out as his own remarks, Li Tianhui ignored everyone's reactions, and continued: "It is impossible for there to be a master of the life and death realm in the Five Dragons Palace, otherwise it would not have been destroyed so easily, and this time there were at least two masters of the life and death realm among them, but judging from the accent of one of them, they are all from the north, and then think of the recent interruption, The Ashina family of the Sangkun Department sent a large number of caravans into Yellowstone City, so it can be judged from this that the Five Dragons Hall must be relying on the power of the Ashina family! ”

Li Xianzong nodded when he heard this, and said in his heart: "My son is still not stupid, but he is at a disadvantage after meeting Fang Lin, hey, is Fang Lin the nemesis in Tianhui's name?" ”

Looking at his son who was standing there and no longer spoken, Li Xianzong said lightly: "Is there anything else?" ”

Li Tianhui was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out: "And? ”

"That's two masters who are at least the masters of the Life and Death Realm, and there is also a master above the entry level of the Life and Death Realm, a Spirit Array Master who can easily crack and reverse the ninth-level Great Array, and thousands of masters above the Yin and Yang Realm, is this kind of power really something that can be taken out by just one Ashina family?" Li Xianzong said.

Li Tianhui pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "What does Father mean?" ”

Li Xianzong said: "I'll leave this to you to think about for yourself, is there anything else?" ”

Li Tianhui was stunned again, and then said, "No." ”

Li Xianzong shook his head and sighed, and said: "Hey, just a Huang family, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, Ben Shuai doesn't care, but after they are destroyed, the reason why Ben Shuai cultivated the Huang family in Chengguo, don't you know the reason?" ”

Li Tianhui reacted instantly when he heard this, and said: "Since the Huang family has been destroyed, then the Meng family in Chengguo will inevitably unite with the Xue family to carry out a major purge, in this way, it will be very unfavorable for us to control Chengguo, after all, the Meng family was forced at the beginning, so is my father planning to re-establish a family in Chengguo to compete with them?" ”

Li Xianzong couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and said, "Now that the situation in Chengguo, which family can gather strength to compete with the Meng Xue family in a short period of time?" We don't have that time anymore, and we don't have so many powerhouses in the realm of life and death to waste. ”

Li Tianhui was puzzled: "So what does the father mean?" ”

"Find a way to drive a wedge between the two families, disintegrate their alliance, pull one family, and fight another, this is the right reason!" Li Xianzong said.

"So, who of these two families do we pull and beat whom?" Li Tianhui asked.

When Li Xianzong heard this, he was almost so angry that he turned his back on him, and shouted: "Think for yourself!" ”

Li Tianhui was bored again, so he simply diverted the topic and asked, "Father, how many troops do you plan to give me this time?" ”

When Li Xianzong heard this, he immediately burst into a burst of evil fire, and shouted: "Except for your personal guards, there is no one!" Do you think that Lao Tzu's soldiers are unlimited, he has pulled such a long defensive line, and he has been defeated again and again by your unsuccessful thing, and now the Bur Qi Department has united the remaining seven tribes in the north and some small and medium-sized tribes There are signs of imminent action, and now Lao Tzu is also going to ask the emperor for troops! ”

Li Tianhui was speechless suddenly, and he retreated, not daring to say more.

••••••

In the Huanhua Wetland, General Shang watched General Li lead 30,000 troops to gradually leave, but the smile on his face became worse and worse, and the deputy general in silver armor beside him said: "General, didn't you plan to send troops to defend the capital now, just let those thugs make the royal family restless?" ”

General Shang smiled and said: "Originally, I thought the same way, so I left that old ghost Li here, thinking about when to get rid of it, but now, no, the reinforcements of the Yeyue Empire are coming, if they see that the royal family of South Vietnam is in danger, they will definitely help, after all, they don't want to catch fire behind their butts when they are fighting in front." ”

"But, what does that have to do with the general sending troops back?" The vice-admiral of the silver armor was puzzled.

"Stupid, if the people of the Yeyue Empire see that the royal family has the ability to protect themselves, they will not take action again, and at that time, the royal family will be forced by the pressure of the Yeyue Empire to come forward to recruit troops, and then use the power of the Yeyue Empire to suppress the riot and capture the prisoners, you know, all this can arouse great public resentment at this time, and when the time comes, General Ben will return to the country and shout again and announce the crimes of the royal family, then it will be much smoother." General Shang said.

"But, General, even if we succeed, there is still a problem to face." The deputy general of the silver armor said.

"I know, you're talking about the Yeyue Empire, this is actually very simple, because the time we go back is when the Yeyue Empire and the Zong Alliance will fight a decisive battle, and how to deal with the Yeyue Empire at that time depends on their victory or defeat in that war, if they are defeated, hehe, don't blame Lao Tzu for telling them all to be buried in South Vietnam, and then it will be said to be revenge for all the people of South Vietnam!" General Shang smirked.

"But the last general thinks that the Yeyue Empire has a great chance of winning, after all, the difference in strength is too big." Adjutant said.

General Shang said: "Then I will obey the Yeyue Empire, and by then the battle will be over, there will be no need for cannon fodder, the large troops of the Yeyue Empire will still be withdrawn, and I am issuing some notices to reassure the people and implement some policies that are convenient and beneficial to the people, hehe, after a long time, any hatred will disappear." ”

The deputy general of the silver armor immediately said with admiration: "The general is smart, no matter what we do, we are in the most advantageous position, hehe, by the way, you asked the guy in the black armor to lead the troops to the capital, I'm afraid it's not that simple!" ”

General Shang sneered strangely: "Of course it's not that simple, they have a very important role." ”

Ten days later, in the capital of Nanyue, General Li reported the "harvest" of his trip to the Nanyue Emperor with a happy face, which also made the old emperor very happy, thinking that he was safe now.

For the next four days, everything was uneventful, although there was often unrest in other states and counties in South Vietnam, but that was no longer on the royal family's radar, as long as the capital was safe.

The next day, the reinforcements of the Yeyue Empire arrived, and when he saw the army, the Nanyue Emperor was almost frightened, two million well-equipped, even his Praetorian Guards could not compare to the army, and the combat effectiveness was probably comparable to that of the Crazy Wolf Guard, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that there were eleven strong people in the realm of life and death, and the aura of these people was far stronger than any strong man in the realm of life and death he had ever seen!

Zhu Yutong immediately stepped forward and pointed to an old man in golden armor led by him and said to the Nanyue Emperor: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is Li Xiaofeng, one of the nine generalissimos of my Yeyue Empire, this is his imperial military captain, hehe, this is the elite of the real elite of the empire, this time the alliance will be defeated!" ”

The Emperor of Nanyue was stunned for a while when he heard this, but he was still in the top position for a long time, and he quickly reacted, and was about to say something official, however, Li Xiaofeng waved his hand and said: "Don't say much, take us to the station, and order you to prepare the death squads in place, Ben Shuai has no time to waste." ”

The Emperor of Nanyue was bored, and he was secretly angry in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't dare to show it, and complained while leading the way: "Generalissimo, don't you know, in the previous wars, our country's army has all died, and the conscription alone has been conscripted three times, and now, no one is willing to be a soldier anymore." ”

Li Xiaofeng didn't raise his eyelids, and said lightly: "That's your business, if you can't complete the task, you don't have to do it as an emperor." ”

The Emperor of Nanyue seemed to have known this result for a long time, so he immediately said: "I have a quick solution to the problem, but I need some help from the Generalissimo. Then he explained General Shang's plan in detail.

When Li Xiaofeng heard this, he thought for a while, and said: "You are smart, you use the power of your commander to solve the domestic problem and solve the problem of the death squad, but this is indeed a way, just do what you say." ”

After Li Xiaofeng finished speaking, he no longer paid attention to the Nanyue Emperor, but the Nanyue Emperor didn't care about this kind of ignorance, but was overjoyed, and immediately went down to arrange.

The next five days were bloody and bloody for the entire Nanyue country, the Nanyue Emperor swept away the rebels in the country with the help of the power of the Yeyue Empire, and captured more than 300,000 captives.

Just when the royal family and the ministers were holding a feast to celebrate the victory, rumors were circulating in the capital that were extremely unfavorable to the royal rule, and this rumor spread at a very alarming speed, and when the royal family paid attention, it was already impossible to suppress, and at this time, the army of the Yeyue Empire set off as a whole, and General Li, the loyal pillar of the empire, was mysteriously poisoned in his own home!
