After leaving for more than half a year, Wang Ruoli finally returned to the Shenyuan Continent.

Taking advantage of the Great War of the Three Kingdoms in the Meiyuan Continent, Wang Ruoli relied on his identity as the governor of the world's soldiers and horses to recruit a large number of generals from Canglong and Honghan, as well as the spiritual realm powerhouses of the family sects where the territory was located, and the number of dead soldiers has expanded from thirty when they first came out of the Shenyuan Continent to one hundred and sixty.

Of course, in the army of death, in addition to the three squads of Xiao Baohuang, Lu Size, and Nie Feng, the fourth, fifth, and sixth squads were added, which were respectively composed of the original Honghan Empire's golden generals Chao Sheng and Zou Gongyan, and the former Canglong Empire's golden general Niu Baiye, and the three of them served as the captains of the new squad. However, the number of people in each squad varies, among which Xiao Baohuang's first squad has the largest number of people, reaching more than 50 people.

After Wang Ruoli picked up Ji Hanshuang, he quietly returned to Jingzhou with the dead army.

Xishu Road, Jingzhou, Jingcheng, Governor Daotai.

Wang Ruoli walked into the study alone, and saw a middle-aged man in front of the desk struggling to write a book, reviewing the case, hearing the sound of footsteps, looking up and seeing Wang Ruoli, his face was suddenly overjoyed, and he hurriedly greeted him.

This middle-aged man was Wang Ruoli's previous subordinate, Lu Qiu Mingda.

It turned out that when Wang Ruoli was about to leave Jingzhou and go to Tingzhou in Xihe Road to rob Ji Hanshuang, in order to prevent the situation in Xishu Road from collapsing, he deliberately went to the imperial court and transferred Luqiu Mingda to Jingzhou to serve as his staff and military advisor. In the past half a year, Wang Ruoli has not been in Xishu Road, and most of the affairs have been handled by Luqiu Mingda, so from the outside world, he did not know that Ligong had left Jingzhou, and at most thought that Ligong was just a retreat.

Wang Ruoli has returned now, so he naturally needs to have a good understanding of the current situation for more than half a year.

"Luqiu, you have already sat on the position of the assassin of Lizhou, but this time you came to Jingzhou, but you played a staff role, and you were a little wronged. Wang Ruoli looked at Lu Qiu Mingda with a tired look, and couldn't help but say.

"Grandpa doesn't have to be so polite, it's already a great honor for my subordinates to be able to follow Grandpa to do things. What's more, these days, helping my grandfather take care of the huge Xishu Road, my subordinates have a feeling of becoming governors in advance. Lu Qiu Mingda was respectful and smiled slightly.

Luqiu Mingda is very satisfied with the status quo, although on the outside, he has lost the position of the assassin, and just came to Jingzhou to help take care of affairs, but Luqiu Mingda knows in his heart that he can gain the trust of the public and be a confidant, which is the most important thing, which is the value that nothing can compare, not to mention that the original position of the assassin is also to help fight for and protect the position of the assassin.

Lu Qiu Mingda found that his pattern was no longer what it used to be, if it was a few years ago, what he wanted was at most the position of a captain of the Immortal Dynasty army, but now, the breadth of the land he saw has reached a state, or even a one, and with the rapid rise of Ligong, how can there be more than a Xishu Road in the future? Luqiu Mingda knows that he needs to adapt to this change in order to continue to keep up with the pace of Ligong.

"Between you and me, we have known each other for many years, and my father has always been very relieved about your ability. Wang Ruoli was relieved in his heart, he called Luqiu Mingda at that time, just to prepare for emergencies, lest there be chaos in Xishu Road, what he saw and heard on the way back this time made him quite appreciative of Luqiu Mingda's ability to stabilize Xishu Road, "The governor of Daotai you said will not be far away." ”

"Grandpa, the main reason why Xishu Road can be so stable is because of your strong reputation and the military power of the army to which you belong. Luqiu Mingda didn't dare to take credit, "The subordinates understand that the grandfather has high ambitions, and he will go higher and farther in the future." Therefore, these complicated and trivial matters are unlikely to be done by themselves, and they always need someone to take care of them, and their subordinates are also doing their best. ”

"Ben Gong really didn't misunderstand you. Wang Ruoli nodded, and then asked, "By the way, what important things happened during my absence?"

"A big thing did happen. Luqiu Mingda said solemnly, "Half a year ago, the Song and Jin dynasties were originally preparing to make peace, but when the frost princess of the Jin Dynasty walked to Tingzhou, Xihe Road, she was actually robbed, and the accompanying escort team suffered many casualties.

The two dynasties could not make peace, and they turned into enemies.

Jin Wenjun was furious, demoted Han Kangzi, the envoy of his relatives, to a commoner, and put him in prison, and reprimanded the king of Huiji, who was under the jurisdiction of Xihe Road, for his poor protection, and strictly ordered me to make every effort to find the frost princess. Although the king of Huiji sincerely apologized, Princess Frost never heard from him, which made the talks between the two sides fall through, and the Jin Dynasty finally brazenly sent troops.

The Jin Dynasty first sent Han Qianye, the king of Pingyang, and Fan Shiji, the king of the entourage, to lead an army of 800,000 immortals to attack the West River. The king of Huiji defeated the Jin army in the mouth, so that the war fell into a stalemate, and then the Jin Dynasty transferred the prince of Hanlei, the king of Fenyang Zhibo to lead the army of 400,000 immortals to supervise the battle, several hard battles down, the army of the king of Huiji collapsed, could not resist, lost the West River Road, and retreated to the West Yong Road.

With this kind of fighting, I was afraid that there was a danger of destruction, so the other two leading spirit kings hurriedly sent troops to support. Zhang Shicao, the tenth son of the king of Linzhang, Hu Huaide, the general of Huyang, and Jin Botao, the general of Jinyang, led an army of 150,000 immortals from Beiyoudao, and the first general under the command of King Baoqing, Qinghe Gongqing Yunian, led an army of 100,000 immortals from Nanguang Province. As for our Xishu Dao, because the grandfather has not returned for a long time, he does not dare to send troops.

What is even more terrifying is that the Qi Dynasty and the Chu Dynasty have seen the war and chaos in our dynasty, and they are ready to move, and there is a tendency to rush up and carve up our dynasty. ”

Wang Ruoli listened, his expression was slightly condensed, the Jin Dynasty was still a tiger and wolf after all, and it did not disappoint, after this battle, even if the power of King Huiji did not die, it would collapse. It's just that I think of the current Song Dynasty, not only in the land of four wars, but also through many wars over the years, the army of the Immortal Dynasty has suffered serious losses, and the replenishment is far from keeping up with the consumption, and now the sum of the army of the Immortal Dynasty in the hands of the three leading spirit kings should not even be a million.

"Grandpa, it is urgent to send troops to resist the invasion of the Jin Dynasty. Luqiu Mingda pleaded, "My subordinates believe that the people of my dynasty are always waiting for my grandfather to lead his troops to defend the western territory of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"The Jin Dynasty has a large number of generals, and it is menacing, and this battle is very important, and there is no room for loss, and it needs to be considered in the long run. Wang Ruoli looked solemn, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"From the imperial city of Jiankang came a young civil official, his subordinates originally thought that he was a proclamatory official sent by the imperial court to urge the war, but later I found out that it was not, he was the proud protégé of the privy envoy Mr. Fan Wenzheng, named Guo Jiao. Lu Qiu Mingda said puzzledly, "This Guo Jiao has been waiting for Hongfeng Xiaozhu for more than two months, and he has never left, saying that he will never leave if he can't see his father-in-law." ”

Wang Ruoli frowned, completely unable to understand what the purpose of this Guo fake came to Jingzhou, and what was the purpose of the fight?

"Ten days ago, someone sent this red dress, saying that the grandfather knew what was going on when he saw it. Lu Qiu Mingda said, beckoned an entourage, and respectfully brought up a bright red dress, "The subordinates sent people to secretly follow the person who delivered the clothes, and after several twists and turns, I finally found that this person was actually the personal guard of Chu Zhaozhen, the fourteenth prince of the Chu Dynasty. ”

When Wang Ruoli saw this red dress, he understood in his heart, but how could this matter be related to Chu Zhaozhen?

Wang Ruoxing was annoyed, it seems that some things need to be dealt with properly, especially this "pavilion", which wants to assassinate himself many times, which is really annoying. Moreover, it was previously inferred that the black robe was Chu Zongquan and the grandson of the owner of the pavilion, so the owner of this pavilion should be Chu Gaozhan, the king of Zhan. If the hidden danger of pavilions and pavilions cannot be solved, I am afraid that it will always be a threat to their relatives and friends.

"That's right. Lu Qiu Mingda Fu remembered something again, "Xiaoyao Palace brought a letter, saying that the two Supreme Elders had a family matter and wanted to discuss it with the grandfather face to face. However, they seemed to know that the grandfather was not in the Shenyuan Continent, so they did not set the exact time, but they just asked the grandfather to go to the Xiaoyao Palace after he came back. ”

Wang Ruoli chuckled at the corner of his mouth, guessing that the matter that Xiaoyao Palace wanted to talk about with him might be his marriage to Yu Xiaoxiao, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.

This trip back is full of things.

Wang Ruoli was very busy dealing with affairs for days, during which he repeatedly convened the main generals under his command, including Bai Yao, Yang Pu, Miao Yi, Fan Ye, Xiang Xuefeng, as well as Wu Guiyi, Cheng Yiyi, and Zhan Guangyuan, three newly promoted generals of the Immortal Dynasty.

In addition, Xishu Dao has jurisdiction over 20 million local troops, and there are tens of thousands of senior generals and colonels in the army alone, so in order to adopt tree-like management, Wang Ruoli deliberately selected Ding Rong, Tang Tu, Wang Dachang and others as representatives of local army generals, and directly obeyed his own governor.

Of course, Wang Ruoli also summoned Yao Hong, Huang Jinyu and many other assassins and county guards to learn more about the development of Xishu Road and further arrange work.

Wang Ruoli began to pay attention to the excavation and cultivation of the forces under his command, although under his own expansion, the army of the Immortal Dynasty under his command has exceeded 250,000, but there are not many spiritual realm powerhouses available in the army, and there is naturally no problem under the violent attack of the Linggong, but if he meets the generation of the Spirit King Lingjun, I am afraid that he will suffer.

However, fortunately, he still has a dead army, which can make up for this shortcoming.

During this period, I also heard a lot of major events in the Shenyuan Continent for most of the past six months.

For example, Murong Bobo, the imperial grandson of the Yan Dynasty, made a leap forward after taking Dengxian Grass, and successfully stepped into the realm of breaking the void at the beginning of this month and achieved the position of the Spirit King. Emperor Yan Murong Wende was pleased, and immediately announced a retreat, and the imperial grandson was in charge of the country.

For example, Long Qingxu, the young gang leader of the Fish and Dragon Gang on the river, admired the mirror flowers and water moon in the Floating Flower Valley, and led people to the Floating Flower Valley to ask for relatives. Unexpectedly, he was ruthlessly rejected by Floating Flower Valley, and from beginning to end of this matter, Floating Flower Miaojun, who was the person at the helm of Floating Flower Valley, didn't even show up.

For example, Qin Shijun Fu Zizheng of the Qin Dynasty doted on Princess Hanxue, insisted on abolishing the crown prince Fu Su, and replaced the young son born to Princess Hanxue, who was only eight years old. Naturally, this decision was strongly opposed by the majority of the ministers of the DPRK and China.

For example, in the Qi Dynasty, since Yunmeng ascended to the immortal, Jifeng worshipped Yunmeng Immortal as a teacher and went away to worship the stars, so Jimo King Ji'an changed his second son Jiyu as the son. There is also Gao Shugong, the king of Lanling, because his only son Gao Xin died on Penglai Island, and he has no children under his knees, and recently accepted Tian Jian of the Tian family as his righteous son.

For example, the Chu Dynasty recently announced that it would choose a husband for Princess Muye Chu Chaoge, in addition to being a good match, the future husband's cultivation is also above the Yuan infant level. All of a sudden, Zhang Shicao, the tenth son of King Linzhang of the Song Dynasty, Fu Jiansheng, a disciple of the royal family of the Qin Dynasty, and Yun Yifei, a disciple of Emperor Yunmeng of the Yunmeng faction, became the most popular candidates.
