"The city lord is wise, I taught Miss Xiyue to say it. "Cloud Void walked in from outside.

"And me. Although the lines were not made up by himself, the reason why Yun Xuwan taught Ling Xiyue to say these words was because of him, so Jiang Ming did not intend to shirk his responsibility.

"I want them to teach. Ling Xiyue said.

Looking at the three young men who took responsibility together, the corners of Ling Wenjin's mouth curled, but his mouth was still unforgiving: "Do you know that doing this will offend the people of the three cities?"

"Not three cities, but seven. ”

Ling Xiyue corrected, "In addition to Moyin, Tianshui, and Xichang, there are also Lihuo City, Mofeng City, Dongzhe City, and Sword Saint City, this is the information obtained by the Forest Patrol Guard, and there are people in the seven cities who have gathered in Hengyang City, and it is likely that they have been united." ”

Ling Wenjin's face became serious: "Is this true?"

"Of course it's true, this is a letter signed by seven city lords. The housekeeper Li Xiaoxiang came in with a bloody letter, "They originally planned to use the messenger to solve the problem, but they really can't do it again." ”

As long as the war is started, it will weaken its own strength, so the superior generally does not start the war in person, and will only use the sword when the expected benefits are greater than the estimated losses.

Ling Wenjin was already thinking about the gains and losses of offending the Seven Cities at the same time, he was not afraid of anyone one-on-one, but the Seven Cities Alliance was not something he could resist.

"City Lord, although the Moon Leader is large, it is not enough for the benefits in it to be divided among the seven cities. Cloud Void reminded.

Ling Wenjin suddenly woke up, if the three city lords divided the benefits of the moon lord, then it would be reasonable, but if the seven cities were divided together, it would be a little insufficient, and there were too many people who divided the land, which could easily cause unwarranted losses.

"You mean that their original target was us, and the division of land was just an excuse?" Ling Wenjin immediately figured out the cause and effect.

"Yes, only then can it be explained. Li Xiaoxiang said.

"If the division of land is just an excuse, then this battle will start anyway. Ling Wenjin said, "Inform the whole city to prepare for war." ”

"Wait a minute! This battle may not be fought. Ling Xiyue stopped.

"What do you want to do. Ling Wenjin saw that his daughter was disobedient to him, and looked at Jiang Ming's eyes a little unkindly.

In the past, Shizuki had always been very obedient, but since these two people came, Shizuki suddenly changed, and I don't know what kind of drug these two people poured into Shioyue.

Seeing this, Jiang Ming stepped forward and said, "City Lord, since the interests are not enough, then the seven City Lords definitely don't want to fight, and someone behind them must force them to ask for it." ”

"So what!"

"Then, as long as they are given a reason, so that they can give an explanation to their superiors, then this crisis can be temporarily resolved. Jiang Ming said.

"You don't know anything. Ling Wenjin's eyes flashed fiercely.

Ling Xiyue said: "Dad, this matter is too important, it's better that you still don't know." ”

Ling Wenjin smiled angrily: "You know something, but I'm not qualified to know!"

Ling Xiyue said: "You can't beat me, so listen to me this time." ”

Jiang Ming and Yun Xu's eyes widened, they didn't expect Ling Xiyue to speak to her father so directly, didn't she worry that her father would get angry and directly use her father's authority? Then their plan could only be reduced to empty talk.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Unexpectedly, Ling Wenjin didn't get angry, but calmed down.

Jiang Ming didn't understand the way the two fathers and daughters communicated, but this was their private matter, so he didn't want to ask.

"Let's go to the back room and talk. Ling Xiyue said and took the two out of the living room.

In the secret room of the City Lord's Mansion.

Yun Xuyun asked, "What are you going to do?"

Ling Xiyue's eyes widened and said, "Shouldn't this be something you should consider?

The clouds are empty: "......" just looked at your confident appearance, and thought you were already confident!

Jiang Ming muttered: "Since the Seven Cities dare to come to Hengyang City if they want to unite, they must have no virtual realm!"

Yun Xuan said: "It's best not to think like this, as long as you dare to kill a city lord, then wait for the Nine Hells Sect's big crusade! Now the Nine Hells Sect has no excuse to crusade against us, but if you dare to kill the city lord, the Nine Hells Sect will not let us go to the ends of the earth, unless we win the Nine Hells to come forward." ”

"If there are people in high positions in the Nine Hells Sect who want to deal with us, then no matter what we do, we will not change their decision. Jiang Ming said, "As long as we have a conflict with the Seven Cities, then they can use this as an excuse to openly interfere." ”

"At least we can buy time. Ling Xiyue said.

"Instead of buying this time, it's better to take the initiative to ......"

"Have you forgotten our original goal?" Ling Xiyue interrupted Jiang Ming's words.

Jiang Ming was stunned.

Ling Xiyue's expression was very excited: "We are going to spread the true martial arts to every corner of this world, do you know how happy I am after learning about your goal? But you don't seem to care about this matter at all." I didn't take it to heart at all, and even regarded it as a pastime in my spare time. ”

Jiang Ming: "I ......"

"Jiang Ming, I know that you planned to do this for the sake of your friend's request, but this matter is really important to our true martial artists. The evil sect exercises are swaggering and deceiving under the banner of martial arts, but the real martial arts can only hide in dark corners, like rats in the stinky ditch. ”

Ling Xiyue said sadly, "So, when I knew that you wanted to preach martial arts, I was really, really, really happy, because you said the wish of a true martial artist for a thousand years, and you want to do something that we haven't done for a thousand years, and we don't even dare to think about it." ”

Jiang Ming lowered his head: "I'm sorry ......"

"It's me wrong, this is our wish for thousands of years, but it's just a pastime for you, I shouldn't have pinned my hopes on you in the first place, a warrior should be self-reliant, and pinning my hope on others is a warrior. ”

Ling Xiyue's tone gradually became sharp, "Even if you don't take this matter to heart, I will regard it as a lifelong goal, and in order to achieve it, even if I am broken, I will not hesitate." ”

Jiang Ming was suppressed, and a strange emotion rose in his heart, making him feel very painful, but there was sweetness in the pain. Affected by this emotion, he had an urge to do anything for Ling Xiyue.

He didn't know what this feeling was, but he knew what to do now: "Xiyue, it was my mistake, preaching martial arts is a great thing, I shouldn't treat it as a joke, but, believe me, I will definitely do it." I swear with my Dao heart that one day, true warriors will live under the sun. ”
