Chapter 640: All Hole Cards
Since Tieguanyin and the Meng-destroying bird failed to kill Yan Ge and them, the news that Bai Ye had completely controlled the alien beast reached the capital.
"Things are getting trickier, what do you think should be done now?" said the lord of the kingdom to the crowd in the hall. Because Li Xiangri has already fought with the alien beast twice, he has the most say in dealing with the alien beast.
"Although the alien beasts are strong, they are not invincible! Didn't so many alien beasts back then be sealed and eliminated in the end? besides, the alien beasts controlled by Bai Ye now are far less powerful than before, as long as we can formulate good tactics, there is still a good chance!" Li Xiangri said confidently.
Some people advocate confrontation, and there must be people who want to avoid the edge for a while, and a long-haired old man said: "Li Xiangri, do you know how many people died in the battle with the alien beasts back then? The number of people in the whole world has plummeted by one-third, and fighting with the alien beasts will only bring disaster, so I think we should take the initiative to retreat!"
"Retreat, where to retreat? Lord Shangguan is really joking, won't Bai Ye pursue after we retreat? The more we retreat, the more it will encourage Bai Ye's arrogance, besides, if we flee, what will happen to the people left?" Yan Ge lost a companion, and his heart was already full of anger, and when he heard someone say that he wanted to make concessions to Bai Ye, how could he not stand up and refute it.
Shangguan, who wore an official hat, said: "If most of us are controlled by the White Night and the Heavenly Silkworm Sect today, after we retreat, the Heavenly Silkworm Sect will naturally not be indifferent, we just need to wait until the White Night and the Heavenly Silkworm Faction fight, and then take the opportunity to counterattack and reap the benefits of the fisherman, isn't it beautiful?"
"No, I resolutely disagree with Lord Shangguan's opinion! Yan Ge is right, after we back down, what will the people do? Bai Ye is still hard to say, but what the Heavenly Silkworm Sect has done is obvious to everyone, if your relatives are among them, will you still think so?" Li Xiangri said. Another civil official stood up and said, "Don't you hear the phrase 'Stay in the green mountains without fear of running out of firewood'? In order to keep the capital, we have no other way!"
"I said that you old things, you really don't have a backache when you stand and talk, but whenever you encounter a little thing, I have never seen you take the initiative to ask for help, every time it is our capital city guards who rush to the front, it is we who are killed and injured, but it is you who enjoy the blessings, and now you encounter a little setback, you are thinking about how to protect yourself first, today I put my words here! The capital vows to live and die with the people of the world! If there are those who advise the lord of the country to retreat, even if I Ye Fei commits a capital crime, I must get rid of the scum first!" The people in the rivers and lakes called Ye Fei who guarded the defense line, but he rarely spoke at the moment, but he yelled and said.
The lord of the country hurriedly said: "Ye Fei, don't be rude! Everyone is thinking about the capital, don't hurt the harmony! Everyone has a point, but now I want to hear what Li Xiangri said about the battle plan, if it works, then we will fight to the end with Bai Ye, if not, it is not impossible to retreat." After speaking, the lord of the country moved his gaze to Li Xiangri.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xiangri, some hoped that his method was feasible, and some hoped that he was nonsense.
"I've read some records that the 'Dui' organized by Ren Fangqiu and them at the beginning had carefully studied the characteristics of each alien beast before the final battle with the alien beasts, and then formulated the corresponding countermeasures! Back then, the seniors had to face all the strange beasts, but now we should only have a few to deal with, and we will definitely win!" Li Xiangri said. As soon as his words fell, Shangguan, who had been pricking up his ears, hurriedly grabbed his loophole and said: "Li Xiangri, what you said is light, Ren Fangqiu and they have already paid a lot of lives for this just to figure out the ability of the alien beast, who do you think should complete this task now?"
Li Xiangri seemed to have thought of this a long time ago, and was about to speak with a cold snort, Ye Fei preemptively said: "Eh! I didn't expect Lord Shangguan to be considerate of other people's lives, it's really a little surprising! Please rest assured, we will definitely not let you complete this task, but if you take the initiative to ask Ying, maybe we juniors will give you a chance!" Ye Fei's words seemed to be joking, but they were sarcastic to every civil official present.
The lord of the country asked, "The plan Li Xiangri said is indeed feasible, but if you want to find out the abilities of the alien beast, this is indeed a very dangerous task, who of you is willing to take the initiative to go?"
As soon as the lord finished speaking, all the guards of the capital city present stepped forward together, and said in unison: "I am willing to accept this mission!"
In just a few words, the courage of all the members of the capital guards was revealed. The lord of the country had a sour nose, he didn't expect that he still had so many followers, and said with relief: "Okay! You are all the pillars of the capital, and you are the strongest backing for the people in the world!" Li Xiangri said: "There is no need for so many people!"
The lord of the country lowered the matter of selecting people to Li Xiangri, and said to him: "Li Xiangri, who do you think is more appropriate?"
Li Xiangri looked at several colleagues around him, then smiled slightly, and said: "Since our generation joined, the scale of the capital guards has reached the largest in history, and you have not insulted the name of the capital guards. Everyone is a first-class master, but for this mission, I already have candidates in mind, and only four people are needed. ”
I thought that Li Xiangri would choose a few teams with tacit understanding, but I didn't expect him to say that there were only four people, and the lord of the country asked, "Which four?"
"The first, Ye Fei of the Praetorian Guard, the second, the Praetorian Bronze Bell Zhong Liyan, the third Praetorian Guard Secret Shadow Hongzhen, and the fourth is myself Li Xiangri!" As soon as Li Xiangri finished saying the names of these four people, everyone was in an uproar.
The lord of the country was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Hahaha, isn't this the rumored four masters of the capital guards?
Zhong Liyan, Hong Zhen, and Ye Fei arched their hands together and said, "I will not disgrace my mission!"
The discussion on how to deal with the White Night Beast was coming to an end, and at this time, someone came to report and said, "Lord Qiqi, the four commanders have entered the capital and are waiting to be summoned outside the hall at this moment!"
The lord hurriedly said, "Invite them in!"
"Chen Huo Min, Chu Yu, Qin Li, and Yue Qingzhong see the lord of the country!" the four of them said. The lord of the country personally stepped forward to help the four people and said, "The four generals have suffered!"
Huo Min said: "It was our lack of ability that led to the annihilation of the entire army, almost bringing disaster to the capital, and asking the lord of the country to punish him!" The young lord still respected these commanders very much, and hurriedly said: "I don't blame you, it's Bai Ye who is too cunning! Now that you are all back, the four major legions can shock the whole world again!"
"We must do our best and do our best!" Huo Min said in unison. After talking to the lord of the country, the four of them came to Hongzhen again, arched their hands and said: "Thanks to you this time, the grace of saving my life, I will not be able to forget!" Hongzhen hurriedly said: "The four commanders are the pillars of the country, compared to the four of you, my contribution is simply insignificant!"
Whether the four major legions can return to their former majesty is directly related to whether the capital can face the threat of the White Night and the Heavenly Silkworm Sect at the same time!
The lord of the country said to Huo Min and them: "By the way, the four Aiqing, after you go back, you must thank the current 'Xiao Yue family' generals for me, it was they who held the pass of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect's attack on the capital during the days when the four major legions disappeared, and they have contributed a lot to the capital today!" Yue Qingzhong arched his hand and said: "The minister thanked the lord of the country for the dogs! The minister also dared to ask for his life!"
The lord of the country was puzzled and asked, "Who does Aiqing want to ask for?" Yue Qingzhong said: "This person is a young man, a commander of several of our subordinates, he was already famous all over the world before we were frozen, and he made great achievements. When he was frozen in ice, he was also the only one who escaped from it, in order to save us and others, he held the cave heart court against the white night, and later when we were covering our retreat into Qin City, he fought against the Silkworm Sect alone, and unfortunately died. He is the White Horse Iron Cavalry Commander, Huo Qing. When Yue Qingzhong said this, everyone fell silent and listened carefully. Huo Min's eyes moistened even more, but he held back his tears and didn't let the tears fall.
After hearing this, the lord of the country said movingly: "Huo Qing is really the patron saint of the four major legions, and the god of war of the country! Huo Aiqing, I thank the people of the whole world for Huo Qing and you!" Huo Min hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Everything the dog does is the duty of being a soldier, I believe that if it is any one of them, they will do the same!"
The lord of the country announced loudly: "Now, I have crowned Huo Qing, the commander of the White Horse Iron Cavalry, as the protector of the country, and I will give him the title of God of War!" No one objected to the decision of the lord of the country, after all, Huo Qing's merits were really there, and no one was dissatisfied.
"By the way, in addition to the capital guards and the four major legions, I have also cultivated two living forces in the capital, Li Xiangri, let's talk about your team first!" said to everyone. Li Xiangri said ashamedly: "Actually, everyone has already seen my team, some people may think that I am training newcomers for the guards of the capital, but in fact, the lord of the country ordered me to train a group of teenagers outside in case of emergency." I'm ashamed that I just helped them get started, and then this group of teenagers actually developed on their own, helping us resist the white night many times, and I even connected several hall masters of the Heavenly Silkworm Sect, and even played a role in deciding the outcome of the convening order, and today, they are no longer my team, but a team with independent concepts, I heard that they formed a team called 'Basil' under the leadership of Qincheng Luo Yun. ”
The lord said, "I don't think you have heard of the names of these teenagers before, but today, any of them are enough power to give White Night and Silkworm a headache. In addition, the training of the 'Little Devil' camp has also ended, and these future backbones are enough for us to win any long-term battle! These are all the hole cards we have now!"
