Just a week after Li Ran's cultivation broke into the sixth layer of Qi cultivation, a major incident occurred above the East China Sea.

A major event that shakes the government and the opposition!

Dongying people shot ahead of time!

The shogunate Genji dispatched an army of 100,000 troops, advancing by land and water, under the leadership of the old sword saint Edin and the general Kameda Zhibin, the troops were divided into two routes, landing on the main island of Goryeo, and then with the momentum of thunder, all the way to destroy the withered and decayed, conquering countless cities in the state capital, at this moment, the army has approached the capital of Goryeo, Seoul!

The whole process only took a week, which can be called fast, ruthless and absolute!

So that all forces, including the Celestial Empire, have no time to react!

this day.

Empress Xuanyue was furious, and quickly summoned officials from Prime Minister Zhang Ningfu, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion and other ministries to hold a military meeting.

Li Ran, as the imperial staff, is naturally among them.

But he couldn't speak.

Because every word he says next will affect a person's life and death.

His younger brother, Li Huan.

In the Military Aircraft Pavilion, Li Guoshi's gaze was calm and calm, as if he was an outsider.

"Your Majesty, the Japanese have been planning for a long time, the offensive is violent, the front is in full swing, and our warships are not prepared, and the sailors are not well trained, I am afraid it is not suitable to meddle in the battle of Goryeo, the most important thing for us at the moment is to consolidate the border defense and continue to train the navy to deal with the next unknown changes. ”

It was the military department Shangshu who spoke, Gu Zhixing, he was a veteran of the two dynasties, and when Murong Yu was there, he was reused, so these words immediately aroused everyone's echo.

Even the military attaché of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, who was at odds with the military department, nodded silently in agreement.

The empress also frowned deeply and was silent.

In fact, in Li Ran's opinion, this is not the recognition of the big figures of the Heavenly Empire.

After all, there are many strongmen here, such as the Governor of the Five Armies, Han Dingfeng, and Zuo Xingyi, the general of the Northern Expedition, who followed Murong Yu to destroy the Ice Kingdom back then, and later followed the Empress Xuanyue on an expedition against the barbarians.

Indeed, the army of warriors of the Great Xuan Dynasty is very strong, and all kinds of Qimen weapons are even more powerful, which can defeat the king of the ice country on the ice field, and can sweep every corner of the continent, however, there are also two places that cannot be visited temporarily.

The first one is Mobei.

There is yellow sand all over the sky, a desert, and there is often a strange and terrifying "sand ghost" climate, once the Central Plains army goes deep, these nomads fly a kite, go around a few circles, not to mention looking for the main force of the enemy, it would be good to find the way back.

After all, not everyone is Mr. Huo Quai, the ancient "mobile navigation system" in Li Ran's previous life.

The second is naturally Dongying.

After the establishment of the Great Xuan State, he was busy with various inland wars, and after more than 400 years, there was finally a situation of great unification, and then basically he has been developing internal affairs, recuperating and recuperating, and the domestic martial arts world is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is not possible to prevent it, and over time, the construction of the naval army has basically been abandoned.

Li Ran also learned from the Divine Daoist supervisor Xuan Xin Lao Dao that after Murong Yu destroyed the Ice Kingdom, he had said many times that he wanted to go out to the East China Sea and capture the Thirty-two Immortal Islands of Penglai near Dongying.

It turned out that this Murong Yu also knew that on these immortal islands, there were the world's best elixir raw materials, and there were even hidden spiritual veins and some ancient ruins.

Li Ran sometimes even wonders, does this Murong brother also have a system in his mind, which also contains an encyclopedia knowledge base?

Otherwise, this guy has never been to Penglai Immortal Island, how would he know the medicine on it?

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds.

Li Ran remained silent, as if he was watching a play from the outside.

In the silence, it was the empress who spoke: "Zhang Xiang, what do you think?"

Zhang Ningfu coughed a few times, looking very weak: "Back to Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that from the analysis of the situation between the two sides, our best fighter has not yet arrived, and in addition, we have just received the compensation and land from the Japanese people, and the Emperor Gongyu has taken the initiative to declare himself to His Majesty, even if Goryeo is destroyed, within five years, the Japanese will definitely not offend our dynasty in the slightest." ”

"The Japanese are the most self-aware, they took Goryeo just to use it as a geographical springboard, to reach out to its surrounding islands, increase resource looting, develop national strength, and finally——"

The empress sneered: "If you tear up the covenant again, you will slowly try to make my heavenly kingdom, right?"

Zhang Ningfu said: "The old minister should not say anything, but the Japanese people are really cunning and greedy, when the first emperor was there, every time he talked about this with the ministers, he was worried, and he wanted to get rid of it in advance to prevent future troubles, but it was a pity that ......."

He sighed, and in fact, everyone knew the meaning of the unfinished words.

God is jealous of talents, and he will die before he gets out of school.

The empress's expression was slightly rippling, and she quickly glanced at Li Ran, and then still looked around at everyone as if he didn't exist: "Don't talk about the past, just say that at the moment, all Aiqing means to refuse the request of the monarch of Goryeo and let Dongying take Goryeo?"

A white-faced civil official said: "Back to Your Majesty, we don't fight at this time, it's just to recuperate, so as to facilitate the liquidation in one fell swoop in the future, in the minister's opinion, standing still is indeed our best choice at present, I believe that among all the adults, except for our Li Guoshi, no one disagrees with this point of view, right?"

"Hehe, it's coming, it's still coming after all. ”

Li Ran sneered in his heart.

He raised his head and looked at the man with a sneer on the corner of his mouth with a calm face, Ma Wenjie's father, and Ma Feng, the left attendant of the military department.

This guy was able to stand up, obviously at the behest of the old man next to him, Zhang Ningfu.

It's really ironic to think about it, when Jiang Taiyuan came to the imperial capital to do something, he talked with Zhang Ningfu for a night, directed a game, and let the former return home, and now that the common enemy is gone, he, the national teacher who has risen to the top, has become a thorn in their side again.

But this time, it is indeed their chance, because if it is not good, it can really put him Li Ran to death.

It turned out that just three days ago, his younger brother, who was not angry, received a distress letter from the Goryeo princess Li Xiuyan, without saying a word, without saying a word, without authorization, with the newly integrated 3,000 warriors, by small boat to support, these warriors have lived on land for a long time, do not know the nature of the water, in front of Genji's fleet, at all, most of the troops were killed and wounded, in the war, he rescued the seriously injured Li Xiuyan, with the remnants of the horses, fled back to Donghaezhou.

After going back, Li Huan settled Li Xiuyan in the people, and went to the Donghai camp alone to plead guilty, and now he has been imprisoned by the governor Tan Qianxiong and reported to the court for instructions.

"Li Guoshi, you also know about Brother Ling, right?" Zhang Ningfu suddenly sighed: "Hey, Brother Ling is so talented, how could he do such a reckless thing that disregards the overall situation, it really disappoints the cultivation and recommendation of the national teacher!"

His words were very powerful, not only naming Li Huan's crimes, but also emphasizing that he, a military governor, had nothing to do with Li Ran, which can be called the standard speech of officialdom to kill people and punish people.

"Hmph, this son disregards military discipline, has no law, uses the identity of the military governor to mobilize the army of warriors without authorization, and has suffered such a heavy loss! Not to mention that the imperial court can't tolerate him, even the Holy Martial Academy, I'm afraid I can't wait to kill him as soon as possible!"

Han Dingfeng, the military governor with outstanding military achievements, has always been a fiery temper, and he didn't give Li Ran any face, so he stood up directly and shouted angrily.

The empress glanced at Li Ran again, and seeing that he was still silent, she seemed to be a little angry, and her tone was obviously a lot heavier: "Li Guoshi, how do you explain Brother Ling's move!"

Seeing that the empress finally made a statement, everyone seemed to have made an agreement, and they pointed the finger at Li Ran.

All of a sudden, all kinds of accusations and scolding Huai, yin and yang weird words came one after another, Mingli was scolding Li Huan for being reckless, but in fact, he was squeezing and crusading against him, the national teacher who was his brother.

After all, no matter how much he is favored, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court many times, he has no allies, let alone real power!

In this circle of big people who really hold the core power of the empire, he has always been an outsider who is targeted, wary, and feared.

Li Ran listened to everyone's cynicism and asked the teacher for sin, and he was not angry, and drank tea leisurely.

"Li Guoshi, do you think that Brother Ling Li Huan is not guilty? Or is his move secretly instructed by you, which contains a deeper strategy?" The vanguard of the "Zhang Party", Ma Feng looked surprised: "National Teacher, this official has watched you grow up, and has always believed that the National Teacher is the smartest and wisest person in the world, you instructed Brother Ling to do this, there must be your deep meaning, right?"

Li Ran smiled, put the teacup down, and said in a flat but thunderous voice: "Martial Governor Li Huan deserves to die, but——"

"Everyone, damn it. ”

He stepped forward, sprayed a sip of tea on Ma Feng's face, and shouted angrily: "Full of big husbands, do your best to be daughters!
