Chapter 400: Not all the way

Gou Quan's life and troubled times, not seeking to reach the princes, Zhou Ping will burn his last drop of blood on the battlefield after all!

All the soldiers looked at Zhou Ping in amazement, they naturally knew that Zhou Ping was about to leave the Third War Zone, but now Zhou Ping's words made them stunned.

Zhang Xiaoyue's pupils shrank suddenly, grabbed Zhou Ping's arm and said in a deep voice, "You are no longer an immortal cultivator, you can't participate in the war at all, you can't stay!"

"Even if I can't participate in the battle in person, I can still command!" Zhou Ping wiped the tears from his face, gritted his teeth and said, "No one knows better than me the combat methods and laws of these beast clans, and the third war zone can only exert its maximum combat power under my command!"

"Even if my soul seed is broken, I can still use my soul power to fight, and now the soul attack I launch will be injured even if it is careless by the powerhouse of the Xuan Realm, I am not useless!"

Of course, no one dares to say that Zhou Ping is useless, in the end, Zhang Xiaoyue is still worried about Zhou Ping's safety, now the battlefield environment is getting worse and worse, Zhou Ping has lost his soul seed and his ability to protect himself has greatly decreased, so how can Zhang Xiaoyue rest assured that he will continue to stay in the army?

In fact, no matter what Zhou Ping chooses at this moment, he is destined to regret it, but there has always been a voice in his heart that is constantly roaring, continuing to ignite his will to fight.

"Your Majesty has personally ordered you to return to the rear, if you don't leave now......" Huo Zhun frowned and said his worries, Li Si's sudden recall of Zhou Ping This behavior is really a little confusing, although he knows that Li Si will not do anything to Zhou Ping, but who knows if he is really worried about Zhou Ping, afraid of Zhou Ping's injury or simply to cut power?

If it's the former, it's easy to solve, but if it's the latter, then Zhou Ping may be in trouble.

But Zhou Ping doesn't care anymore, he has always believed in Li Si unguardedly before, and now that the front-line battlefield is complicated, he will definitely believe in himself and respect his decision!

The general will not be affected by the order of the foreign monarch, after all, Li Si is beyond the reach of the whip, and the person who knows the most about the battlefield situation must be Zhou Ping, even if he loses the soul seed and his own combat power is reduced by ninety, but with his unparalleled command ability, he can also stabilize the situation in the third war zone.

To be honest, even if Chu Li transferred a Xuanjing powerhouse to take over the third war zone now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be as handy as Zhou Ping, after all, not everyone can deduce the movements of the beast clan troops on the battlefield every time.

"I'm going to stay here!" Zhou Ping turned around and held Chu Ci's hand tightly, his eyes swept over those wounded soldiers again, and said in an unquestionable tone, "At least until this battle is over, I am still the governor of the Third War Zone! No one can move me!"

The meaning of these words is already obvious, Zhou Ping wants to openly resist the decree and continue to serve as the overseer of the third theater to lead the troops of the third theater to resist the attack of the beast troops!

"Zhang Hanzhong, immediately draw up a message to Your Majesty, and make the situation in the Third War Zone clear to him!" Zhou Ping said in a deep voice, "Tell Your Majesty that I won't go back!"

Zhang Hanzhong was stunned for a moment, and finally drafted a message according to Zhou Ping's statement, Zhou Ping let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth actually raised a smile.

"I will be with my warriors, even if I die together......"

No one would have thought that Zhou Ping, who was still preparing to leave two days ago, would express his attitude so resolutely after the big battle last night, if I Zhou Ping left during the truce, it would be a normal transfer by His Majesty's will! But now is the most severe period of the war, if I Zhou Ping go to the rear now, I will not be able to feel at ease in my life!

At the beginning of the war, the commander was transferred away first? Not to mention how to take over the subsequent armament deployment, did they consider the morale of the soldiers? Once Zhou Ping withdrew, even if the officers and men of the Third War Zone did not say anything, they must be disappointed in their hearts, and Zhou Ping absolutely could not let this kind of emotion appear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Third War Zone, he must be the brightest beacon in the Third War Zone, and he must stand at the highest place to guide the soldiers in the direction of their advance!

This is his fate!

Zhou Ping stood under the city wall, the whole army stood in front of him with a solemn expression, Zhou Ping left is his duty, but it is indeed love to stay, a soul seed is broken, the person who is about to be transferred to the rear is about to be transferred to the rear for the brothers who fought side by side with him resolutely continued to stay on the battlefield, this is Zhou Ping's affection for their soldiers!

Huo Zhun was the first to kneel on one knee, followed by Huang Ren, Hanjiu, and Zhang Xiaoyue......

After a few breaths, except for Chu Ci, who was standing behind him, all the soldiers in the city knelt down on one knee in front of him, and these soldiers who had rolled out of blood on the battlefield several times chose to give their lives to the young man in front of them at this moment!

The battle that should be fought has just begun, and the road that should be taken, Zhou Ping has also come to an end at this moment, and he has kept the way of Thaksin!

Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City Daming Palace.

Li Si, who received Zhou Ping's message, sat on the dragon chair with his brows locked, in addition to the message that Zhou Ping asked Zhang Hanzhong to send him, he also received another news, all the soldiers in Yunshui City where Zhou Ping was stationed knelt down to Zhou Ping and swore allegiance!

Even if Li Si treated Zhou Ping as a brother again, he would never tolerate this kind of thing happening! To put it nicely, Zhou Ping gave up the opportunity to be transferred back for the sake of his brothers in the army and stayed on the treacherous battlefield! But if this matter is ugly to hear, then he Zhou Ping is disrespecting the decree and establishing private power in the army!

If one of the two taboos is committed, it will be enough to make Li Si murderous, and Zhou Ping directly commits all two taboos. But because of Zhou Ping's special status, no matter how big Li Si's opinion is, he can't say anything about this matter, after all, that is the brother who once shared life and death with him, and that is the righteous son of Chu Li, the commander of the human front!

"I know Zhou Ping, this person has never been greedy for power, he just wants to protect his loved ones in the army. Li Si seemed to be muttering to himself, "If he wants to be powerful and rich, then he will not choose to go into seclusion when I first ascended the throne, and if he is really willing to speak at that time, then what if I give him an official position above ten thousand people under one person?"

The shadow hidden in the dark was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked with a smile, "That...... Now will Your Majesty still give Zhou Ping a position above 10,000 people under one person?"

Li Si was stunned for a moment, clenched his fists and said word by word, "He is my brother!"

In fact, even Li Si didn't know what he wanted to express, and he never deliberately emphasized that he and Zhou Ping were brothers......

After saying this, Li Si suddenly recalled in his mind what Zhou Ping had said to him after drinking, brothers didn't say it, being a brother is in my heart!

The shadow didn't speak, and Li Si already had the answers to some questions in his heart......

After being silent for a long time, Li Si finally slowly spoke, "Let him do it, now is the critical moment to resist the beast clan, and the third war zone needs his command force!"

"In addition, the reinforcements from several other major vassal countries are also going to rush to the battlefield in the next few days, and I plan to send a message to tell Chu Li to give priority to supporting the third war zone as soon as possible, and Zhou Ping must not be allowed to have anything to do!"

No matter what, the great cause of resisting the beast clan will always come first, and there is only so much that Li Si can do for Zhou Ping now.

"Yes. ”

The shadow hiding behind the curtain left faintly, and Li Si was the only one left in the huge Daming Palace, he was in turmoil at this time, and there seemed to be a depression in his chest that was difficult to eliminate.

After hesitating in the palace for a long time, Li Si left the Daming Palace alone, crossed the path in the palace, and came to the mountain behind the palace alone, where there was a courtyard hidden in the hidden place in the mountain forest, and this was the destination of Li Si's trip.

When he arrived at the door of the courtyard, Li Si politely buckled the door, and after a while, a middle-aged man in a gray robe opened the door for Li Si, looking at his dress, ordinary people would generally think that he was a scholar or a showman, but Li Si knew the identity of this person very well, this scholar-like man was one of the strongest people in the Tang Dynasty, and he was a realm-breaking immortal cultivator with mana power to cover the heavens!

"The emperor is here, hehe......" The scholar smiled, gave Li Si a slight salute, and immediately made way for Li Si to enter the courtyard.

Li Si looked at the courtyard in front of him, which was not familiar but not unfamiliar, and said softly, "I'll come to see him." ”

"The emperor said that he wanted to come and see, so naturally he wanted to come and see. The scholar pointed to the courtyard and said with a smile, "He's there, I won't accompany the emperor, so as not to disturb you, hehe......"

Looking in the direction of his finger, Li Si narrowed his eyes slightly, and he bowed slightly to the scholar, "I'm tired." ”

Although the scholar man is a strong man who breaks through the realm, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not only the king of a country, but also the king of the entire human race, even if he is a strong man who breaks through the realm, according to the rules, he must obey Li Si's dispatch at a critical moment, this rule, even if he is a powerful powerhouse breaking the realm, he cannot destroy it!

Of course, the so-called rules are always relative, if this scholar has the ability of the beast emperor of the beast clan to reach the heavens and the earth, and dares to call him invincible, then he is the rule!

Li Si came to the back of the courtyard alone, a man who looked a little similar to him was drinking tea alone at the back of the courtyard at this time, and when he saw Li Si coming, he was stunned at first, and then picked up the teapot and poured a sip of tea for him, and said with a slight smile, "How do you have time to come to see me?"

When Li Si sat down, the full picture of the person who poured tea for him was finally revealed, this person was not an outsider, it was the crown prince Li Ze who lost to Li Si in the battle for the throne in the palace that year!

"Nothing, just wanted to come and see you. Li Si said very lightly, but Li Ze smiled, shook his head and said, "You won't come to me for no reason, you came to me after you killed people at the banquet of all nations last time, because you don't know if you can be regarded as a teacher of benevolence and righteousness by doing this, and now that you have come to me again, you must have encountered some difficulties again......"

"Let's talk about it, I'm your eldest brother anyway, what can I do to help you?"

No one would have thought that the two princes who fought for the throne back then would be able to sit together and drink tea so peacefully, and even judging from Li Ze's words, Li Si, who was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, came to him more than once to talk about political affairs.

Li Si looked Li Ze up and down, and slowly asked, "What do you think...... Are we two brothers?"

Li Ze was stunned for a moment, his eyes trembled slightly, in fact, the two were very good brothers when they were young, but Li Ze's biological mother, that is, the queen of the previous dynasty, personally forced Li Si's mother to death, and designed to kill Li Si countless times, which caused the two brothers to come to the opposite side step by step.

Li Ze has been cultivated as the heir of the emperor since he was a child, but no one has ever asked him if he wants to be the emperor, and Li Si is just the opposite, in order to survive, in order to continue to survive in Chang'an City, he can only do everything he has to fight for the throne, this is his choice, and it is the choice that his environment forced him to make......

But what if all this had never happened? If Li Ze's mother hadn't forced Li Si's mother to death, and hadn't tried to put Li Si to death again and again, would Li Si really be so desperate to compete with his brother for the throne?

Of course, there are not so many ifs in this world, and the reason why Li Si left Li Ze's life is very complicated, maybe there are reasons for old love, but it is more out of his own considerations.

In fact, after succeeding to the throne, Li Si knew that he would definitely go through a thousand difficulties and dangers in governing the country in the future, and countless dangerous moves were likely to send him to a dead end, he was afraid that once he fell, once he really died, the Tang Dynasty would be really completely chaotic, and no one would be in charge of the situation.

Li Si left Li Ze to leave a way back for the Tang Dynasty, even if he really died in the future, then Li Ze could smoothly come out to preside over the overall situation under his own arrangement and take over his position as the emperor.

Maybe Li Si has told a lot of lies and done a lot of things against his heart after he ascended the throne, but at least he has one sentence to convince Li Zexin, everything he Li Si did was for the people of the Tang Dynasty and for the inheritance of the century-old foundation of the human race!

Li Ze knew Li Si's thoughts, and he also admired Li Si's actions like this, and asked himself, if he succeeded to the throne, he would not be able to be so broad-minded and leave such a disaster for himself.

"If my guess is right, you should have some kind of gap with your comrades-in-arms, right?" In Li Ze's words, Li Si must not be referring to himself, this kid joined the army back then, and he can be called a brother by Li Si now, I'm afraid there are only those comrades-in-arms.

"Let me guess, is it Zhou Ping?" asked Li Ze with a smile.

Li Si looked at him deeply, and then nodded slowly.

Seeing that Li Si was sure of his thoughts, Li Zeha laughed and shook his head, "I know, sooner or later there will be problems between the two of you, if Zhou Ping is in seclusion for a lifetime, it will be fine, if he is born, you will inevitably have disagreements." ”

"Do you know why?"

Li Si frowned, shook his head and asked, "Why?"

"Because you two aren't all the way at all!"
