Wu Peng responded to the line, and after saluting Emperor Shenwu, he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen went to the north to inspect the defense this time, and I feel that the situation has reached a point that cannot be ignored. The Flying Fox tribe in the north has conquered the small kingdoms and tribes to the north since the Demon Night Khan unified the tribes, and has now become a powerful kingdom with a population of tens of millions. The Flying Fox Clan, who like to plunder by nature, often crossed the border to plunder our people when they failed to reunify, but now they are unusually no longer looting, I am afraid that something will happen. ”

Emperor Shenwu sighed and pondered for a while: "Go on." ”

Wu Peng said: "Wechen sent dozens of groups of spies to the Flying Fox Clan region to investigate the news, and got a message that the Demon Night Khan is gathering the Flying Fox Clan's string control men to plan a huge war operation. Your Majesty, Wei Chen believes that there are no enemies around the Flying Fox Clan, so they can only plan to launch an attack on the northern part of our country. ”

"Is the information reliable?"

"Wechen sent fifty-seven spies before and after, and the news of the report was about the same. ”

When the ministers heard the news, they were obviously very surprised. Although they didn't dare to talk to each other in front of the emperor, they still exchanged glances with each other, and their eyes showed fear. Obviously, this flying fox clan is not a name that they like to hear.

Emperor Shenwu pondered for a while: "Marshal, do you think we still have time to prepare?"

Wu Peng bowed down and said, "If the Flying Fox Clan wants to gather 200,000 string control soldiers to attack together, then they need to prepare 200,000 troops of food and grass and armament, which is not easy for them. Your Majesty, if our country immediately summons soldiers and sends food and grass to the three major towns in the north from now on, it will still be too late. ”

Emperor Shenwu nodded, and then shook his head again: "Except for the Wolf Guards, what army can be of great use? But the Wolf Guards are less than 10,000 people, so what can they do?"

Wu Peng said: "Your Majesty, strict military discipline, clear rewards and punishments, and morale can still be withstanded." ”

Emperor Shenwu snorted: "I did this a few times before, but the result was still beaten by others, and the 100,000 army didn't even see the flag of the Flying Fox people, just hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they threw away their armor and fled." Can this kind of army withstand it?" It is estimated that if it weren't for the fact that the emperor couldn't scold foul language, he Shenwu Emperor would have come out with the Three Character Sutra.

Wu Peng said: "Your Majesty, is it ......?"

Emperor Shenwu leaned back in his chair a little weakly and waved his hand: "Immediately step up the rectification of the city defense of the imperial capital." I'm ready for the Flying Foxes to come down to the city once again. ”

Wu Peng: "...... Your Majesty, no matter what you say, the empire has a million army, and among these million troops, Weichen believes that there must be people who can be of great use. ”

Emperor Shenwu said, "Oh. The other day I met a man named Ling Ye, who seemed to be very smart, and quite brave and good at fighting, and could fight a hundred people alone. But I'm afraid there is only one midnight this night, and there is no more. He looked at Wu Peng and said, "Your Shuang'er is also very skilled, but ...... Not a talent for commanding troops. ”

Wu Peng bowed and said: "Weichen has already seen this person Ling Ye, and I want to recommend him to experience and experience, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty you have already seen him." ”

Emperor Shenwu smiled: "Young hero, why don't I know?"

He paused for a moment, and then said: "I am thinking about it, let the Wuxuan Division test him, see what talents he has, and give him a military position." Don't expect him to kill the Flying Fox by himself, just don't follow the team and flee. ”

Wu Peng said: "Yes." It's just that in the face of the large-scale attack of the Flying Fox Clan, it is a small matter to reward Ling Ye, and it is important to gather soldiers and horses as soon as possible to hoard grain and grass and prepare for weapons. Your Majesty, are you going to issue an oracle immediately?"

Emperor Shenwu pondered for a while: "It's not small, it's not small! Let's do both things together! Marshal, you assign someone to take the test in the middle of the night, report the results, and I will personally reward him." ”

Wu Peng bowed down. Emperor Shenwu stood up and said with blazing eyes: "I want the soldiers and horses of the world to see, as long as they are talented, willing to make progress, and able to make meritorious contributions, I will not ask about their origins, and they will not hesitate to give rewards Chinese!

Wu Peng bowed down again, and said, "Your Majesty, while mobilizing troops and horses to assemble in the north, I'm afraid we will have to pay attention to the demon capital in the south." Both of these are critical places to go, and they need a competent commander to lead the way. Your Majesty has a candidate?"

Emperor Shenwu sat back in his seat, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said, "I have already made a candidate!"

※※※

Ling Ye alone poured down the glorious achievements of a large group of dignitaries, and at this time, Lin Yuannan and the others already knew about it, and they all laughed.

Lin Yuannan said with a smile: "Brother Ling, you also said that you don't know how to drink, it turns out that you already knew that the marshal was going to invite you to drink, so you saved your stomach early to drink the marshal's wine." Haha!"

Ling Ye smiled faintly: "How can I have such an unpredictable prophetic ability? I really don't know how to drink, but I was forced out when I got there." ”

Lin Yuannan said: "Haha, you can force such an amazing amount of alcohol out with one force, so I don't know what else you can do to force it out!"

Ling Ye smiled and didn't speak.

Lin Yuannan lowered his voice and said, "When I was in the imperial capital before, I heard people say that there was a beautiful girl with silver-white armor and white hair in Marshal Wu Peng's mansion, have you seen it?"

Ling Ye nodded: "There was also a fight." ”

"You won?"

Ling Ye shrugged: "No one won." ”

Lin Yuannan slapped his thigh: "I knew you were really powerful." Do you know the origin of that beautiful girl?"

Ling Ye shook his head, of course. Lin Yuannan said a little mysteriously: "That's the adopted daughter of the marshal, who studied under the Sword Saint Sect when she was still very young, and learned a supernatural Heavenly Providence Sword Technique. The Sword Saint also loves her very much, and also passed on the Heavenly Death Sword that can only be used by her own disciples, which shows how strong her martial arts are. And what about you, the first time you see someone, you can have a tie with someone, do you say you're amazing?"

Ling Ye smiled faintly and pondered for a while: "The personal disciple of the Sword Saint...... I should have thought of it a long time ago...... The ice-blue sword in his hand ......"

Lin Yuannan lowered his voice and asked again, "Brother Ling, seriously, where did you learn this skill? How can you have a tie with the personal disciple of the Sword Saint?"

Ling Ye sighed, looked at the sky in the distance, and said lightly: "I have never lied to you, all the skills I learned were taught to me by my father, and I have also practiced hard since I was a child." ”

Lin Yuannan sighed, thoughtful.

Ling Ye's words were a little tactful - my skills were taught to me by my father, and as for where my father learned it, I'm afraid you have to ask him!

Seriously, he is not a shirk. His father really didn't say where he came from or where he learned it, but only vaguely said that the Xuantian Tribulation Fire Skill is not an unpassed secret that can be casually displayed in front of others!
