Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Dragon Fights in the Wild, Its Blood Is Yellow
"The Western Wilderness is going to be destroyed?" In the Nanli Palace, Bi Youzheng laughed heartily with the generals: "This is really crazy." β
In the face of ridicule, Li Qinglin's smile did not change: "In this world, there are not only two countries in the south and the west, there are many big countries in Middle Earth, and the national strength is a hundred times better than you and me, you barbarians are afraid that you will forget." β
The generals of the Western Wilderness were still laughing, but Bi You realized something, and his smile gradually converged.
As if educating his subordinates, Li Qinglin said slowly: "The terrain of our southern Xinjiang is complex and the roads are rugged. If the big country of Middle-earth wants to conquer it, the road is difficult, the transportation is inconvenient, and the manpower and material resources are wasted, and it can only be obtained remotely, and the resources are scarce, which is quite worthless. There were also big soldiers coming to the city, and as a result, we called a minister, so we were able to pay tribute to ourselves. When that big country itself is destroyed, we will still be in the south, and we will become an independent country again, which is the root of my long-lasting southward departure. β
Speaking of this, Li Qinglin looked at Bi Yu with pity: "You barbarians have just risen for less than a hundred years, your culture is barren, and your history is shallow, I'm afraid you don't know the Tao here, and you really don't have a stronger country?"
Bi Yu didn't get angry, and his expression slowly became very solemn: "What are you...... Collusion with the great powers of Middle-earth?"
"To the north is now the Qianguo. Li Qinglin supported the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand, and said with a leisurely smile: "A month ago, this king has sent an envoy to call his ministers...... Well, in fact, he is not called a minister, he is still the king of Qianguo Qinfeng Nanli, and Qianguo also sent a lot of property to express his comfort. β
"I really can't imagine that you, Li Qinglin, are willing to be a vassal of a vassal who is willing to be a lowly man!"
"So you are just the general, and I am the king. Li Qinglin said leisurely: "Politics is not about face, only about results." β
"As a result, Qianguo doesn't see a single soldier to protect you?"
"I want them to come, too...... But the road is inconvenient, and the snow and ice are not enough, of course, there is no army. Sending thousands of elites to defend for me, people are unwilling, and there is no way to do it. Li Qinglin smiled: "But it's not that there is no other way...... They are reluctant to defend the city, but a vanguard, pointing at the land of the Western Wilderness, is a little different in nature. You and I are very interested in conquering a country, and of course the Emperor of Qianguo is also very interested. β
Bi You's expression changed greatly: "Your side generals are really a plan, in order to drag us to the south!"
"Of course it's a plan, I, Li Qinglin, will I be such a faint monarch that no one is willing to be loyal to, I will actually throw myself into the enemy and lead the way, I know that it is not normal when I think about it. You don't have a brain, and you don't have a quiet one?" Li Qinglin said with a smile: "Now that the Western Wilderness has raised the country's troops, and has gone deep into the south, his belly is empty, and the thousands of pioneers of the Great Cadres don't know what the outcome can be......"
All the generals of the Western Wilderness changed their faces.
He said sharply: "Alarmist, if that's the case, why don't you let the Lihuo army defend this city, but instead send all of them to Hengshan County, and wait for death empty?"
Li Qinglin shook his head with some regret: "If that's the case, if you go back to the division and force the cadres to retreat, or you also go to the courtiers, and in the end the situation will not change at all, and you will make a comeback next year, what is the use? I will completely lay down this situation once and for all." β
Before the words fell, a rain of arrows flew from outside the palace gate, shooting all the soldiers who had been arranged to guard the door in advance into hedgehogs. And the palace gate seemed to have some kind of opportunity, and it closed with a bang.
At the same time, the entire palace burst into flames, and there was almost no time to spread, and the entire square was already in flames, including Li Qinglin and Bi You, who were instantly engulfed in flames.
Li Qinglin laughed in the flames: "Your strongest bloody army in the Western Wilderness and you habitual generals have all died here, and the fortune of the Western Wilderness has been lost." Nanli is just a monk who has died, the eldest princess and the fire elite are all intact, as long as she is not stupid, of course it will be you who will destroy the country, not me Nanli!"
Where can the army of the Western Wilderness still care about what he is talking about, and squeeze towards the palace gate in chaos, how can it be broken at this moment?
He was cold.
I'm afraid that even if Daqian sends troops to help him defend the city, he, Li Qinglin, will refuse. He obviously deliberately used his body as bait, using his own life to leave the palace in the south as a grave, dragging the entire Western Wilderness to the end of the country!
He roared angrily, and with a blazing fire, the giant axe slashed at Li Qinglin.
Li Qinglin held his spear horizontally, and the two of them were engulfed in flames at the same time.
"This king doesn't have a long lifespan, and it's a pleasure to have so many warriors from the Western Wilderness buried for this king. β
In the midst of the flames, Li Qinglin's expression was calm, and he didn't seem to feel the pain of the flames: "I forgot to tell you that this fire is the blazing array of your Donghuazi, when the blazing flint was scavenged, the resentment of the people in Nanli was boiling, and now it can be regarded as a good use, and it has never lived up to the efforts of the people of Nanli." β
No one paid attention to him at all, the fire quickly burned everyone's body, everyone rolled upside down, and the screams resounded through the sky, which had long overshadowed Li Qinglin's words.
The huge axe fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain, and pointed at Li Qinglin with the last of his strength: "Since you ascended the throne, you have been deaf and cultivated, is it all a deception?"
Li Qinglin silently leaned on the ground and closed his eyes: "No, at that time...... It's true. β
"Boom!" the palace collapsed, and the sky was red with fire.
............
Minghe looked at the firelight above the fire city faintly, and remembered the conversation he had when he met Li Qinglin a few days ago.
"Your arrangement, really don't you tell Qingjun well?"
"Qingjun knows, it is impossible to agree, and when the time comes, he will have to die with Lihuo City to cause trouble. β
"So...... Poor Dao told you the origin of the jade pendant, why did you never send anyone to look for it, but instead gave the jade pendant to Qingjun?"
Li Qinglin looked at the carved dragon on the beam and pillar intently, and after a long time, he said slowly: "I was worried and shaken, I was greedy for power, and I wanted to live forever...... It's not as great as I once thought. When I found that I couldn't cultivate even a trace of immortal qi according to Qin Yi's method, I was even extremely irritable, beating and scolding the concubines, and whipping the palace peopleβmaybe I was just a layman, and I still had the potential to be a tyrant. β
Minghe looked at him quietly and did not answer.
"But Dao Chief, people are so strange...... When one day is sober, it is unprecedentedly clear...... I know that not only am I not saved, but Nanli is actually not saved, it has rotted to the bone marrow...... If there is a few years to slowly turn around, there may still be a chance, but the Western Wilderness will not give us this time, they will not even wait for the beginning of spring, there will inevitably be a thunderous raid this winter. β
Minghe still listened.
"In such a short period of time, let alone Qingjun, even if I didn't fall into the curse and worked hard, Nanli couldn't survive this catastrophe. The previous ambition was nothing more than wishful thinking and self-deception. Li Qinglin smiled and said, "So what should we do? Waiting to welcome the Western Wilderness into the Kou, perish after a bloody battle that can be sung and cried, and become a few lamentations in the history books?"
Minghe finally said: "What Poor Dao asks is, why don't you go to the owner of the jade pendant, instead of asking your national policy." β
"Because I don't want to look for it. Li Qinglin smiled and said: "If you die, you will die, how can people not die? I have found what my original intention is." β
"What is it?"
"No matter how much work I do, in the end, it will be a pinch of loess, a few feet of tombs, in this case, why did I do this in the first place?"
Minghe shook his head: "Poor Dao never knew why you wanted this work. β
Li Qinglin's eyes were a little strange: "The Taoist Master is extraordinary, maybe someone is immortal? Compared with the brilliant annals of history and admiration for all ages...... Who is eternal life?"
Minghe was stunned and silent.
"Everyone has their own aspirations, and there is no answer to this question. Li Qinglin laughed again: "Qingjun loves to seek immortals, if she can let go of the shackles of Nanli one day, then the jade pendant is her guide, and I won't use it." However, the Taoist saw Qin Yi in the future and told him a word for me. β
"Speak. β
"Hmm...... He is a friend worth dating, and he is tired of running around for nothing, and he is very sorry not to go. β
Ming Heqi said: "That's it?"
"It's not...... I once told him that I would rather believe that the Great Sage was dead than accept that the monkey king crossed his knees and became a Buddha for eternity. Li Qinglin said slowly: "Please tell my friend that although I have been shaken, I have finally done it." β
Looking at the fire in Chongxiao, Minghe remembered the hexagram he had calculated when he first met Li Qinglin in Zhangjiazhuang.
The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is yellow.
He is not fighting Donghuazi, or even the Western Wilderness, from beginning to end, he is fighting against Changsheng.
