Chapter 778: Looking Northwest

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your enlightenment. ”

In the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Li Xin and the three of them knelt on the bluestone slab, knocked their heads on the ground, and shouted loudly.

Emperor Qin looked at the three of them with a calm face, and said indifferently: "I don't hesitate to spend my origin to raise the martial arts of the three of you to the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, I don't want to hear the three of you pretend to be loyal and express your gratitude. ”

Li Xin, who reacted the fastest, immediately said with a serious face: "The minister is willing to lead the army to quell the rebellion for His Majesty, and go to the soup to fight the fire, and he will not hesitate." ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty will definitely repay Your Majesty's kindness with the head of the thief," Sima Jie and Bai Lice were half a beat slower, but they were not to be outdone in their words.

But today, Emperor Qin's mood seemed to be a little low, and he said without any emotion in his tone: "Flattery is all forgiven, I want to know how the three of you plan to quell the rebellion?"

It was still Li Xin who spoke out first: "Your Majesty, when Chen was in turmoil, the whole world was against him, and the minister was fortunate to lead the army to fight in the south and the north. ”

"After several years of fighting, and finally succeeded in quelling the rebellion, how to deal with the rebels, accumulated some experience, if Your Majesty does not give up, the minister is willing to listen to Your Majesty. ”

When Emperor Qin heard this, a trace of interest appeared on his face and said, "Oh, let's hear it, Zhao Tuo, Liu Ji, Lin Ze, the three traitors, how can they break it?"

Li Xin got up from the ground, straightened his robe, and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, the army under the command of the traitor Zhao Tuo is half a Qin soldier in the southern expedition, half a barbarian, both of which are good at mountain and forest warfare, and there are many mountains and forests in the south, and the other party has a deep geographical advantage, so it is not appropriate to fight with it in the mountains and forests." ”

"If you want to deal with Zhao Tuo, when you send scouts to prevent being ambushed, after determining the location of the opponent's army, use more fire oil, set fire to the mountain, force the other party to give up the geographical advantage, and fight a head-on battle with our army. ”

"Once the decisive battle is decisive, the enemy's geographical advantage is no longer good, and our army's armor is superior to the enemy, the momentum is stronger than the enemy, and the soldiers are brave to the enemy, how can it be invincible?"

A look appeared on Emperor Qin's face and asked, "If you want to deal with the traitor Liu Ji, what should you do?"

Li Xin's momentum perked up, and he said domineeringly: "The people of the Kanto region are all rats, Liu Ji, a thief, never dares to fight head-on with the righteous division of my Qin State, and will only flee in a hurry." ”

"If you want to deal with him, you don't need too many intrigues and tricks, just press the border with a large army, and it won't take half a month, he will be defeated without a fight, and then lead the army to harvest the heads. ”

Emperor Qin's expression was uncertain, he chuckled, and continued to ask, "That traitor Lin Ze, how should he deal with it?"

Li Xin's face turned bitter when he heard this, and he bowed to the ground and said: "The minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty, Lin Ze is a thief, the army is far superior to the minister, and the army that Lin Ze brought to the Western Regions are all elites of a hundred battles, and the minister is afraid that he is not his opponent." ”

When Emperor Qin heard this, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he looked at Li Xin with a gloomy face, and a trace of murderous intent appeared in the main hall.

Sima Jie, who was jealous of Li Xin's performance in front of Emperor Qin, immediately seized the opportunity, pointed at Li Xin and shouted: "You dare to rebel against the thief's ambition and destroy your own prestige, and your intentions are bad, and your heart should be punished." ”

Hearing this, Li Xin raised his head, looked at Emperor Qin with sincerity on his face and said: "If a minister is loyal, in the face of the monarch, he should tell the truth according to the truth, instead of maliciously concealing it and deceiving the monarch." ”

"The minister can indeed say nonsense today, so that His Majesty mistakenly thinks that the traitor Lin Ze is as easy as a hand, but if the army loses in the future, even if His Majesty breaks the body of the minister into ten thousand pieces, can it be recovered?"

"If such self-deceiving courtiers are the loyal ministers that Your Majesty wants, then the courtiers are willing to take back Fang Cai's words and repeat them. ”

After Li Xin finished speaking, he lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, looking like he was at the disposal of Emperor Qin.

Emperor Qin was silent for a while, and said indifferently: "No, you are very good, what I want is a loyal minister like you." ”

"But I am a little puzzled, is Lin Ze really comparable to a saint and has no weaknesses?"

"Wealth, beauty, fame, and even the bonds of relatives, isn't there what he wants?"

Li Xin thought for a while and replied: "Yes, Lin Ze has been obsessed with martial arts all his life, except for the secret methods and natural treasures that can increase martial arts cultivation, wealth and beauty, and even relatives, friends and parents, in his eyes, are worthless. ”

"But he himself is a rare martial arts genius, and now he is a peak martial arts powerhouse in the Divine Soul Realm, and there are very few things that can move him. ”

I only heard Emperor Qin Youyou say: "Wrong, he is in the realm of heaven and man." ”

Li Xin's face was surprised when he heard this, the realm of heaven and man in his twenties, what kind of demon qualification is this?

Sima Jie and Bai Lice were even more cold sweat on their backs.

With the help of Emperor Qin, the two of them were promoted to the peak of the Divine Soul Realm, and it was the time when they were full of ambition.

Therefore, when I first heard Li Xin boast about Lin Ze, I was very unimpressed, isn't it just that my martial arts qualifications are better, plus my luck is good?

When he learned from Emperor Qin's mouth that Lin Ze was in the realm of heaven and man, he had a thought in his heart: Don't send me to conquer the Western Regions.

The expressions of Li Xin and the others, Emperor Qin looked at them, and suddenly said with some displeasure: "What are you afraid of?" Now in the world of great contention, luck is the most floating, as a great Qin minister, even if you are a celestial, you will not easily take action against you, so as not to damage your luck and respond to the catastrophe." ”

Li Xin and the three of them immediately bowed with serious faces: "Your Majesty taught you a lesson." ”

However, he didn't think so, if he really thought that he could provoke the powerhouses of the Heavenly and Human Realm, it was estimated that a hundred lives would not be enough to die.

Li Xin suddenly said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to take the liberty to say a few words. ”

"I'm listening. ”

Li Xin took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Feichen is excusing the traitor, Lin Ze is loyal to Daqin by nature, and he has also made immortal contributions to Daqin. Defection before, or something else hidden. ”

"The minister dares to ask His Majesty to send an envoy to the Western Regions, to understand him and move him with affection, or to make him change his mind. ”

"The world has been in turmoil for several years, and the people are at peace, why not do this thing?"

When Emperor Qin heard this, he shouted angrily: "Li Xin, you are presumptuous, you really think that you are a loyal minister, and I won't dare to kill you?"

Li Xin bowed and said: "The minister's heart is all above His Majesty and the Great Qin Jiangshan Sheji, if Your Majesty wants to ask the minister, the minister will not have the slightest complaint." ”

Emperor Qin looked at Li Xin with an indifferent face, and said coldly: "Come on, drag Li Xin down, and punish him with three hundred rods as a punishment." ”

The Praetorian Guards guarding the gate of the main hall immediately divided into four people, and regardless of Li Xin's identity as a powerhouse in the Divine Soul Realm, they dragged him outside the hall and threw him on the ground, while two of them, holding copper sticks, hit Li Xin on the back and buttocks.

"Bang bang bang", the copper rod collided with the flesh and blood, and a dull sound sounded into the hall.

Li Xin struggled to suppress the power of the Grandmaster in his body, but instead of taking the initiative to protect his body, even the most basic automatic body protection was restrained by him, and he simply used his body to bear the scepter responsibility.

Emperor Qin was angry, how dare Li Xin let him not vent out?

The Praetorian Guard's stick technique was very skillful, and in a moment, the rod was punished with three hundred, and the execution was completed.

Qin Huang's voice happened to come: "Drag it in." ”

The four of them dragged Li Xin back to the main hall again, threw him on the ground, bowed, and turned to leave.

Emperor Qin glanced at Li Xin's flesh-and-blood back, and asked in a cold voice, "Do you still want to exonerate the traitor?"

Li Xin got up, knelt down and bowed: "The minister is not excusing him, the minister is just loyal to Your Majesty and loyal to the Great Qin Jiangshan Sheji." ”

"Even if you are ordered to be killed by me, you have no regrets?"

Li Xin said with a resolute face: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." ”

Emperor Qin squinted his eyes slightly, was silent for a while, and said coldly: "Spread my will, order Li Xin to be the commander of the southern expeditionary army, lead 200,000 troops south, and pacify the traitor Zhao Tuo." ”

"This battle can only be won and undefeated, if defeated, the nine clans of the Li family will find a feng shui treasure land by themselves and bury themselves. ”

Li Xin kowtowed: "Minister Li Xin obeys the order." ”

Emperor Qin looked at Sima Jie and Bai Lice again, and said in a deep voice: "You two are the commanders of the Eastern Army, and you can pacify the anti-thief Liu Ji, but is there a problem?"

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and said loudly: "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." ”

"As for the Western Regions, I won't send any envoys, for your sake Li Xin, I will go there myself. ”
