Chapter 349: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron

"If you want to hold Gushan Pass, you can't be so passive defense, but you have to defeat them and let them retreat!"

Xia Zelei, the king of leisure, looked at the black and oppressive enemy army in the distance, and his words were sonorous.

In the face of a million-strong army, he chose not to defend to the death, but to take the initiative to attack!

"I am willing to retreat from the enemy with the prince!"

Li Yuanba patted his chest and said, his eyes were full of fiery battle intent, and he even seemed a little eager to try.

"You ...... guy"

Xia Zelei was glad that this strong man was from his side, and if it was from an enemy country, then he would have a headache.

One person not only defended the Gushan Pass, but also repelled the two middle-level powerhouses of the Martial King!

Such a record is enough to make it famous.

Now, just wait for the Iron Rider to arrive.

For that iron horse, Xia Zeret is very confident.

Gushan Pass fell into a brief period of peace, but everyone knows what kind of storm and rain are hidden under this tranquility.

Twilight.

In the early morning, the sky is a hint of blue.

"Long, Long, Long......"

Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, waking up the guards who were standing on the walls almost asleep.

"What's going on?"

One of the guards rubbed his eyes and stood up.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, an arrow flashed, bringing a rain of blood, and the guard fell on his stomach.

And a companion beside him happened to see this scene.

"Enemy Attack ......"

The alarm bell at the gate of the city was suddenly sounded, and the entire Twilight City was awakened in the morning.

"There are garrisons on the border, and they are not lost, where is the enemy attack?!"

After hearing the report, the monarch questioned very suspiciously.

Although the battle at Gushan Pass is tight, the armies of the other major border passes have not moved, but have strengthened their vigilance, it stands to reason that even if there is a war, there should be a battle report coming back from the front line, how can there be enemy soldiers coming to the city?!

"Yes...... It's Marshal Li......"

The messenger was prostrate on the ground, and his voice was low.

"Marshal Li?"

The monarch who was sorting out his clothes was stunned, and then his pupils suddenly condensed, "Li Zhengping?!"

After the battle came from Gushan Pass, the Li family disappeared out of thin air, and there was no news coming, and now, King Xiaoyao also led his troops to the front line, and now, Li Zhengping has appeared.

A bad feeling suddenly welled up in the monarch's heart.

Li Zhengping is the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and after so many years, the army must have been infiltrated by the Li family a long time ago.

"Rebels and thieves!"

The monarch clenched his fists, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Quickly summon all the counts into the palace to discuss matters!"

After he came to the main hall, all the nobles above the earl level in the city were already waiting inside.

On their faces, there is fear, uneasiness, and impatience...... They are all pampered nobles, most of them are hereditary titles, where have you seen this kind of formation?

Especially those nobles who had fallen to the Seventh Princess Xia Ziling, they were even more panicked at this time.

Li Zhengping's troops came to the city, what was the purpose, in fact, they knew it clearly in their hearts.

"How......'s it going? What the hell is that thief trying to do?

The monarch slapped the dragon chair, and the sound was like thunder, and all the nobles in the hall knelt down.

They were afraid of Li Zhengping and his army, but they were even more afraid of the royal family.

"Back to Your Majesty, Marshal Li is rumored to arrest the demagogic demon girl Xia Ziling, and ...... the Qingjun side."

In the main hall, someone answered.

"Enchantress?!"

The monarch's eyes widened, "That thief dares to say that my daughter is a demon girl?!"

"He's a good one!"

The last sentence almost came out of his teeth.

However, he felt a little bitter in his heart.

There are not many people in this city who use it for him.

Because, there are still most nobles who are on the side of the Li family.

After all, the Li family has two princes!

As long as the second prince can ascend to the position of the prince, the Li family will only have merit and no fault.

"Damn!"

The monarch snorted in his heart.

Come to think of it, Li Zhengping instigated the alliance of the two countries to attack Gushan Pass, just to lure away the King of Escape, and Li Zhengping's real purpose is Twilight!

Good deep calculations.

This was something neither he nor the King of Joy had expected.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the demon ...... should be handed over Seven princesses, to protect the peace of the country. ”

In the main hall, someone proposed.

"Seconded ......"

"Seconded ......"

"Seconded ......"

For a while, voices of approval were heard everywhere.

Obviously, this was arranged by the Li family a long time ago.

rebellion, the Li family may not have the courage.

After all, the prestige of the royal family has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and in the royal family, there are still a few old monsters, and no one knows whether they are dead or not.

Although the soldiers are coming to the city, as long as he Li Zhengping is not a rebel, the old monsters of the royal family will not come forward.

After all, in the eyes of those old monsters, this is just a junior competing for the position of prince.

The position of the prince, as long as the royal family sits on it, in their eyes, everyone is the same, and the second prince and Xia Ziling are no different.

Looking at this scene, the monarch's hand holding the dragon chair was even harder.

"A bunch of bastards!"

Suddenly, he shouted angrily, and the frightened aristocratic bodies trembled.

"Are you now deciding the life or death of my daughter?!"

A gloomy voice came, and the nobles lowered their heads even more.

Although they did not make a sound, their attitude did not change.

This made the monarch angry, but also helpless.

He is not as deterrent as Xia Zelei, the king of leisure, if at this time, Xia Zelei is sitting in this position, do these people dare to do this?!

He smiled wryly.

The monarch waved his sleeves and walked away.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses in the city also began to gather, and the nobles who contributed their efforts ...... Not much, not even more than 20%.

What a worrying situation?!

"Xiao Qi, you know the situation outside, right?"

The monarch summoned the seventh princess Xia Ziling, and looking at the beautiful daughter in front of him, a touch of melancholy flowed in the monarch's eyes.

It's really too much like her mother, it's like a millstone carved out.

Although he sent out a public council to marry her mother into the palace, the kind and beautiful woman was forced to death by his imperial concubines.

He is a monarch, but what can he say?

Which of those imperial concubines doesn't have a big force behind them?

It's not that he doesn't want to pamper this daughter, but he can't, as the monarch of the principality, he can only secretly send some resources to his daughter.

Otherwise, no matter how good Xia Ziling's talent is, can he have such a realm of cultivation at such an age?!

In fact, Xia Ziling was very surprised that he could get the support of King Xiaoyao, and he was even already preparing for Xia Ziling's ascension to the position of prince, who knows, the Li family actually drew a salary from the bottom of the kettle and came to the city!
