Since Xiao Wuxian joined Xie Tianshu, Zeng Rui and others, the Xiqi defenders finally stopped the rout, and the three armies were stationed in full force, putting on a posture of fighting to the death with the Fulong Empire.

Seeing that Xiao Wuxian no longer retreated, the million-strong army of the Fulong Empire actually stopped attacking, but only guarded the cities that had been occupied.

It is said that when a million-strong army crosses the border into an enemy country, it is a great burden to maintain the weight of grain and grass, and experienced commanders will try to maximize the results of the battle, first, to avoid lasting attrition, and second, to feed the war as much as possible, and plunder on the spot.

However, the commander of this Fulong army seemed to have no psychological burden at all, and was stationed in place leisurely, without worrying about the supply problem at all.

However, General Zeng Rui proposed several plans to return to attack and capture the city, but without exception, Xiao Wuxian rejected it on the grounds of "insufficient preparation".

At this time, Xiao Wuru sat alone in the tent, staring at the spirit crystal lamp on the low table in front of him, with a wisp of deep melancholy that could not be concealed on his handsome face like an immortal.

"Brother Ruthless, are you still worried about the affairs of the uncle and the imperial capital?" A young general in armor opened the curtain and strode in, born like a crown of jade, heroic and extraordinary.

This person is Xiao Wuxi's beloved son and Xiao Wulu's cousin Xiao Yan.

"It's about the survival of the Xiao family, if you don't worry about it, it must be false. Xiao ruthlessly looked at Xiao Yan, with a hint of a smile in his eyes, "With my father's ability, and I have been secretly operating for many years, as long as there is nothing wrong, Li Jiuye will definitely not be his opponent, but there are no absolutes in the world, before the news of the imperial capital came, I was still a little apprehensive in my heart." ”

"When the news comes from the imperial capital, I'm afraid that the younger brother will change his name to you, His Royal Highness the Prince. Xiao Yan laughed.

He is sunny and cheerful by nature, always likes to joke when he has nothing to do, and is easy to mingle with the people around him, so he is quite popular in the army.

"Don't talk nonsense, I am the second son, and according to the etiquette, I should also be succeeded by the eldest brother. Xiao ruthlessly denied it, but there was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

Obviously, everyone, including him, knows that with Xiao Wenjian's character, it is absolutely impossible to say that the king of a country is the head of the family.

"Brother Ruthless, after Da Bo ascends the throne, do we really want to cede most of the land in Xiqi Province to the Fulong Empire?"

"When the Li family is overthrown, what will happen at that time, it's not up to us to decide. Xiao Wuru smiled slightly, "With the second uncle's ability, why not be afraid of the Fulong Empire, but they can use their soldiers and horses to eradicate the two Li loyal dogs behind them." ”

"These round-and-forth calculations make me dizzy when I listen to them. Xiao Yan reached out and touched the giant ruler on his back, his eyes were shining, "I'm only responsible for killing the enemy, whether he is in the Fulong Empire or Zeng Ruiyu, come one to kill one, come two to kill a pair." ”

As he spoke, a scorching aura emanated from his body, which actually caused the temperature of the air around him to rise a lot.

"Brother Yan, have you been promoted to the Heavenly Wheel?" Xiao Wuru was startled at first, and then showed great joy.

"Just made the cut a month ago. Xiao Yan's face was pale, and he said with confidence, "When you consolidate your cultivation, you will definitely have a place for me in the top ten on the Yingjie list!"

Looking at this energetic cousin, Xiao Wuru inexplicably felt a little more confidence in the affairs of the imperial capital.

At this moment, the curtain of the tent was lifted again, and Xiao Wuxian's seven-foot body appeared in front of the two of them.

Looking at the second uncle's tightly knit brows, Xiao Wuru felt a sigh in his heart, and faintly had a bad premonition.

In the splendid hall, Emperor Li Jiuye and Xiao Qing, the head of the first family, were far away from each other, and the powerful spiritual momentum on their bodies kept stirring each other, colliding with the sound of "popping" in the air from time to time.

"You lost. Li Jiuye breathed a sigh of relief and tried to make his voice appear calm.

"It's me who underestimated you. Xiao Qing's face was cloudy, and he said slowly, "I didn't expect you to hide so deeply, and I don't complain if I lose." ”

When it came to the realm of Lingzun, the perception was not trivial, and the comprehensive defeat of the Xiao Family Alliance naturally did not escape the divine sense detection of the two.

"What are you going to do next?" Li Jiuye was confused, but he still had an expression of "I knew it was like this" on his face, "Surrender now, I can leave the lives of your two sons." ”

"No need. Xiao Qing said lightly, "I have sent Ruthless to the Hatless Army." ”

"It's all come to this point, you still don't give up!" Hearing Xiao Wuxian's name, Li Jiuye's face changed, and he couldn't hide the hatred in his heart, "Do you have to make the entire empire restless, are you willing?"

"Although I hate you, I don't hate this country. Xiao Qing shook his head, "What I want now is just to keep a trace of blood for the Xiao family's room." ”

When Li Jiuye heard this, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly felt sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox in his heart.

No one knew that just before the decisive battle, he had planned to quietly send his second son Li Rong to the northern frontier to seek refuge from Leng Qianqiu, but the three city gates were attacked at the same time, and the final plan was not successfully implemented.

Li Rong is not Li Jiuye's favorite son, but he knows that the prince who is really responsible will definitely not leave him alone to escape, but the recent performance of the crown prince Li Yan has repeatedly taught him to disappoint, and after weighing it again and again, the emperor finally intends to use Li Rong as the royal fire.

Xiao Qing's mind flashed the faces of Xiao Wenjian and Xiao Wuru, and his eyes suddenly showed a determined look, and he shouted: "Li Jiuye, dare to fight me fairly!"

The loud voice spread through spiritual power, and even the people outside the imperial city could hear it clearly.

At the last moment, the head of the Xiao family actually chose to launch a one-on-one challenge to the emperor.

"You want to duel with me?" Li Jiuye narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone, "You have already lost, why should I give you this opportunity?"

"I'm just taking on a challenge. Xiao Qing sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes, "You can refuse, and then order your lackeys to surround me here." ”

Li Jiuye has been the emperor for so many years, and he is no longer the hot-blooded young man he was back then, he doesn't think much of the dignity of a strong man, however, seeing Xiao Qing's contemptuous eyes, an irrepressible anger suddenly swelled up in his heart.

I am the emperor, why do you look down on me!

For so many years, he knew that in the circle of the entire imperial magnates, Xiao Qing's reputation had always been overwhelming.

When people talk about Xiao Qing, they will always praise him for his "eloquence".

When mentioning him, the emperor of Daqian, most of them will use words such as "old and serious".

The dignified emperor of the empire, but he has been suppressed by Xiao Qing for so many years, even if he is a clay man, he will have three points of anger, not to mention that he is a high-minded and arrogant person.

Xiao Qing's eyes completely ignited the anger in his heart.

"Okay!" Li Jiuye's voice also spread throughout the imperial capital, and it could be heard clearly in every corner, "I will let you know who is the real master of this country." ”

Before the words fell, a gorgeous golden sword appeared in Li Jiuye's hand, and countless golden dragon-shaped sword qi kept flowing and flying around Emperor Daqian's body, creating an incomparably brilliant light and shadow effect.

It was he who got it from the Daoist Palace, and it was suspected that he had surpassed the gold-grade peerless spiritual technique "Ninety-Five Supreme Sword".

Xiao Qing also drew out the long sword on his waist almost at the same time, compared with the dazzling Li Jiuye, his spiritual skills were very plain, just attached his spiritual power to the long sword, and slowly stabbed forward, there was no light and shadow, and there was no sound effect.

At this time, Ye Qinglian, Li Donglai, Jiu Venerable, Xuanyuan Invincible, Shangguan Junyi and other Lingzun bigwigs had already appeared in the Jinluan Palace.

After another moment, Lin Zhiyun and Leng Qianqiu also arrived from the east gate, and even Venerable Xi, who was defeated in the hands of Lu Ziyang, returned to the imperial city at some point, plus Li Jiuye and the two who were fighting, in a large hall, there were ten Lingzun bosses, which was unprecedented in terms of secular terms.

With nine enemies and one enemy, there is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, but Li Jiuye responded to this decisive battle in front of the entire imperial capital, but the wine venerable and others could not intervene for a while, so they could only act as a melon-eating crowd and shout on the side.

"Obviously, the Xiao family has been defeated, why should Your Majesty make such a move and agree to fight this person alone. Xuanyuan Invincible frowned, a little dissatisfied.

"Xuanyuan Commander is cautious!" Li Donglai said sharply, "As a courtier, how can you discuss the decision of the saint!"

Xuanyuan Invincible glanced at Li Donglai and did not open his mouth to refute, but there was a trace of contempt in his eyes.

Lin Zhiyun, Shangguan Junyi and Ye Qinglian stood together, keeping a distance from the rest, the three girls were young, and they all had the appearance of sinking fish and geese, and the appearance of a shy flower in the closed moon seemed quite disobedient among the spirits, which attracted frequent attention, but the three beauties looked calm and did not have half a bit of timidity.

The afterlife is terrifying!

The Wine Venerable couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he recalled the previous battle.

Immediately, he turned his attention back to the battle in the main hall again, frowning slightly.

Li Jiuye's moves seemed gorgeous, and the level of spiritual skills was half a step higher, but when it really started, it was the younger Xiao Qing who had the upper hand.

No matter how gorgeous and dazzling the emperor's swordsmanship was, Xiao Qing turned a blind eye, just a sword stabbed out mediocrely, but he could always break Li Jiuye's offensive completely.

And every time Xiao Qing stabbed a sword, Li Jiuye always couldn't find a good way to crack it, so he had to spread his body and avoid Xiao Qing's attack by opening up the distance.

In this way, fighting and fighting, Li Jiuye retreated farther and farther, and was forced to the dragon chair at the top of the stairs.

How can it be!

I'm going to be pushed to this point by him!

In fact, deep down in his heart, Li Jiuye also knew that his talent was not as good as Xiao Qing, so the advantage of cultivation became his last self-comfort.

Now, even this last fig leaf has been removed, and the depression in Li Jiuye's heart has finally reached the point of no return.

Am I really inferior to him in any way?

His heart was filled with unwillingness and frustration, and his swordsmanship unconsciously appeared a trace of a loophole.

At this moment, Xiao Qing's eyes suddenly burst into light, and the long sword in his hand exuded a dazzling brilliance for the first time, and with lightning speed, it went straight to Li Jiuye's heart.

Not good!

Li Jiuye came back to his senses, he knew that something was wrong, and he was about to retreat, but his body was blocked by the golden dragon chair, and he saw Xiao Qing's long sword coming to his chest, and he couldn't resist it, and a sense of despair filled his heart.

Why should I agree to go one-on-one with him!

He thought with remorse, watching the sword get closer and closer to his heart.
