With vigilance, Xuanyuan Huan drilled out of the cave and looked into the distance.

I saw a knight sitting on top of a black spirit horse where the smoke and dust came from, and he was rushing towards the cave.

And Xuanyuan Huan's eyes widened in surprise when he saw the knight, that person turned out to be ...... Ye Chen!

When did he reach the Broken Waves realm?

During this time, Xuanyuan Huan was too busy, and he really rarely came to Ye Chen's side, but he would also regularly come to bring him food and water that was easy to store, as well as a change of clothes.

The last time Xuanyuan Huan came over, it was only half a month ago, and at that time, Ye Chen had only reached the eightfold level of the collapsed mountain.

But in just half a month, he actually broke through to the level of broken waves?

"You're here?" When Xuanyuan Huan was stunned, Ye Chen had already run in front of her with the reins, and the black sturdy horse instantly turned from high-speed movement to stationary!

Xuanyuan Huan, who watched this scene, was surprised again. This kind of control ability, not to mention the Broken Wave Martial Artist, I'm afraid that the Martial Artist of the Treading Xia Realm can't do it, right?

You must know that the mounts formed by the aura are large and heavy, and they are difficult to handle. Although it is composed of aura and has the same mind as the owner, the excessive weight and the body structure that is different from that of human beings make them unable to stop and turn around as human beings do.

This is also the reason why the cavalry warrior is not as flexible as the infantry warrior.

But look at Ye Chen's hand now...... This can't be called riding alone. "Master, Master. When did you break through to the Broken Waves realm?" Xuanyuan Huan watched Ye Chen jump off the black horse in a daze, his eyes were still a little straight, looking at the horse that was completely pitch black, and even a pair of horse eyes were completely composed of strange black substances, and he couldn't see the whites of his eyes. only

It's the same as Ye Chen's eyes. "Hehe, I just broke through yesterday. Ye Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it, and immediately dispersed the aura horse into the air. This is also a special means of cavalry warriors. Unlike the pseudo-cavalry, who relied on real animals to carry them on their backs, their mounts did not require stables or food.

It is very convenient to put it away as you like.

"Yesterday, yesterday?" Xuanyuan Huan looked at Ye Chen blankly: "Master, half a month ago, you only had the eightfold mountain collapse." ”

Xuanyuan Huan's surprise was justified. In fact, after Ye Chen reached the Seventh Layer of the Collapsed Mountain a year ago, his progress has slowed down very slowly. It took a full year to break through from the sevenfold to the eightfold. Although this speed is not slow in the Xuanhuang Continent, it must not be said to be fast, but now, it is ......

"Yes, yes. I had been staying at the eightfold level in order to accumulate my knowledge of the power of the law. When I haven't completely seen through it, I won't easily break through the Collapse Mountain Realm. After all, the power and description of each law is different. It's worth taking a closer look. ”

Ye Chen said it easily, but Xuanyuan Huan was extremely surprised when he heard it. It seems that in Ye Chen's eyes, there is no difficulty in breaking through a big realm at all.

But you must know that the breakthrough of the Great Realm is extremely difficult. Especially above the avalanche.

From the collapse of the mountain to the broken waves, it is a threshold to the path of the real Xuanhuang martial artist, and there will also be a difference between riding and foot combat. How hard is that?

Even if it was her Xuanyuan Huan, with the help of Ye Chen's elixir, it took a lot of time to complete the breakthrough. And Ye Chen said it easily now.

In half a month, from the collapse of the mountain to the current broken waves, this is simply ...... It's just ......

"Yes, go in and say. Ye Chen looked at Xuanyuan Huan's stunned appearance, and he was also a little funny. In fact, in his opinion, the martial arts Dao Heart of the Xuanhuang Continent is really not worth mentioning, it is just that its own strength is extremely powerful.

Therefore, breaking through this so-called collapse of mountains and waves is not a difficult task for him at all. The really hard part is to understand the law and build up enough strength.

It's hard to have a shortcut to this process, maybe there is, but Ye Chen hasn't been able to find it yet.

Therefore, now Ye Chen is even more eager to enter the Martial Arts Academy to study systematically. Let yourself have a more real and systematic understanding of this world, which is still a little unfamiliar.

Xuanyuan Huan looked at Ye Chen for a while before he said, "Master, Master, I, I'm in trouble this time, and I ask Shizun for your help to get an idea." ”

Ye Chen looked at her with a smile: "Oh, let me guess, are you feeling a headache for those people outside the Sealed Wolf City?"

"Yes, I can't hide anything from you. ”

"It's not that hard. Ye Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, casually picked up the dry food in the basket brought by Xuanyuan Huan and took a bite, and then poured a mouthful of bitter bud wine, a specialty of the desert people.

This thing is bitter and scratches the throat, and it burns very much, and the aftertaste is even more incompatible. It's even worse than the worst liquor in the Shenwu Continent.

But in this big Gobi, there are also few drinks and enjoyment.

Xuanyuan Huan looked at Ye Chen and sighed in his heart: "The master is really strong, the helpless things that make it difficult for me and my subordinates to do it have become extremely easy in his mouth." ”

"Two ways, you choose one. Ye Chen stretched out two fingers: "One, it's simpler, now I'll go back to Wolf City with you and find the Sogo Pavilion." Then use the Three Butterfly Origin to control the Xing Steward of the Sogo Pavilion. Let her bleed to help you repair the city. ”

"Okay!" Xuanyuan Huan suddenly slapped his hands with joy. Although under Ye Chen's persuasion, she finally gave up her revenge on the Sogo Pavilion and tried her best to get in touch with them, but she was still very happy to see that this damn Chamber of Commerce was bleeding and unlucky.

Ye Chen shook his head: "It's not good." It's a simple solution, but it's up to me to do it. It's cheating for you. You have to understand that this wolf city is your training ground. If you always rely on me to help you cheat, then what are you going to practice?"

Xuanyuan Huan was suddenly dumbfounded, paused for a moment and asked, "Then, what about the second method?" Ye Chen said unusually directly: "Even if you have a firm foothold in Sealed Wolf City now, it is time to expand." This group of vagrants came to join you because they admired the name of your princess. And as your fame grows, there will only be more and more such people. When the time comes, you will be cultivating

What if you build three or four new Sealed Wolf Cities?"

"Expand, expand?" Xuanyuan Huan stayed for a while before he said, "Master, isn't this okay? I don't have a stable foundation now, and I don't even have an elite strong army under my command." How this ...... "stable". Ye Chen interrupted Xuanyuan Huan: "You are already stable enough." You see, you're cheated with me. It is impossible to find a second commander in the world who has no disagreement with him in the slightest. And you can do it. That's enough. At least you're leading the way

When you go out on the expedition, you don't have to worry about the generals you stayed in the Sealed Wolf City suddenly betraying you, and you don't have to worry about the Anmin Management Committee you use to secretly do some inappropriate things against you, isn't this unstable?"

"But, but the army ......" "It's easy to talk about the army." Ye Chen looked at Xuanyuan Huan with a smile: "If you want to expand now, you only have one goal, and that is Changhuling." I've also heard that Chang Huling, the Zhongyue Overseer, also has a personal guard composed of elite Taxia warriors, and the number is about five hundred. But

Do you think he would dare to use those five hundred guards to stop your attack?"

"This ......" Xuanyuan Huan instantly understood.

She's famous. In the battle of sealing the wolf, he directly inflicted a heavy blow on the dark cloud army of Chongshan Khan, causing it to be directly defeated.

And it is rumored that this thing is more and more outrageous, and the Dark Cloud Army lost two hundred in the battle of sealing the wolf, but this number changes greatly when it is spread outside.

It was five times larger from two hundred, and it was said that it was the death of a thousand Wuyun troops that led to the rout of the Wutu tribe.

Even if Chang Huling, as a veteran, wouldn't believe this kind of nonsense, so when Xuanyuan Huan really hit the door, did he really dare to use his elite guards to kill Xuanyuan Huan?

Don't dare, he definitely doesn't dare!

Warlords like him have no roots in their own right, and they don't have any big government to protect them. Although he is still nominally a courtier of the Shanmeng Kingdom, once Changhuling falls into the hands of the Hongqi Emperor, then there is no need to think about the consequences, and he will definitely be exterminated by the Nine Clans!

So warlords like Chang Huling, in fact, none of them can be relied on, not even their subordinates. However, there are many subordinates who are ready to wait for the opportunity to take their place.

If you can betray the emperor of the Mountain Clan, then why can't we betray you?

So betrayal is like a devil in a box, and once you release it, you can't control it anymore.

Therefore, what Chang Huling can really rely on is only his elite guards of 500 people.

It is precisely with this that he can deter his subordinates, who have actually become small warlords, and make them obey. Take those 500 precious personal guards, which are equivalent to his life, to kill Xuanyuan Huan? Don't be kidding! Unless Xuanyuan Huan hit him under Chang Huling's nose, he would never touch his personal guards.

After explaining this truth to Xuanyuan Huan, Xuanyuan Huan's eyes lit up when he listened: "Master, you mean, let's go and rip the flesh off that guy in Changhuling." "That's it. Ye Chen nodded: "Chang Huling's main energy is still to be used to deal with the rebellion of his subordinates, followed by the possible attack of the Great Emperor of the Macro Period." And you, with his current situation, can't take care of it. So as long as you shoot in a measured manner, don't bite him in a hurry, eat a few of him

Cities are not a problem. ”

In the areas controlled by the two great empires of Hualong and Huama, it is really a betrayal, and the following crimes are endless.

The emperor should be careful of his commander, the commander should be careful of his general, the general should be careful of the deputy general, the deputy general should be careful of his subordinates, and even the army commander at the grassroots level must be careful whether his soldiers will take their heads off if they are unhappy that day.

In a word, messy!

This is also related to the collapse of the two empires of Hualong and Huama, the collapse of the empire, and the collapse of the original order and morality. People in troubled times are not as good as dogs, no matter whether your status is high or low.

And this is also the reason why the current mountain warrior country is so weak, losing control, once an empire cannot control its own army generals and local officials, then the huge will become a burden, and the strong will become a burden.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Emperor of the Macro Period has been shrinking and ignoring the situation of beacons everywhere.

It's not that he doesn't want to care, but he really doesn't have the strength to do it. If he once relinquishes power, appoint a general of the army, government, and finance to assess the rebellion.

Then maybe that big man will not only not be able to clear out the bandits, but will also play the game of raising thieves with self-respect, and it is not impossible to even turn his head and bite him fiercely!

Even the nobles of the Shanmeng clan themselves have this problem. In the face of interests, it is possible for the Shanmeng Emperor and the Hualong warlord to attack him, the Shanmeng Emperor.

How similar is the building to collapse more than 100 years ago when Hualong collapsed?

The Great Emperor of the Macro Period had personally experienced all of this, and seeing the collapse of an old empire, how could he dare to move so easily now?

Then, little by little, we will rectify the government and clean up the ambitions and those with too much power. Whether he is a mountain warrior or a Hualong man, as long as he can threaten his imperial power, he is an enemy!

Kill! Kill all the kills! Kill and clean up! And then cultivate and nurture loyal newcomers.

Of course, the loyalty of these newly cultivated people will not last forever, and it is remarkable that it can last for five or six years.

Once they have the right and experience the good taste of it, they will become a threat like their predecessors.

But it doesn't matter, the Macro Emperor only needs to use those five or six years. Once this best and most obedient period has passed, and their wings have hardened, then move the butcher's knife again!

In the eyes of the Emperor of the Macro Period, although there are flames everywhere in the country of Shanmeng now, those people are just a group of mud legs who have not practiced martial arts or even recognize a word under the control of the Emperor of the Macro Period.

As long as he takes a breath of relief and straightens out the internal affairs of the imperial court, then it may not even take five years to exterminate them.

At that time, the mountain warrior country will be able to rectify the rivers and mountains again, and at least maintain its rule for another hundred years. As for what will happen after that? That's for posterity......

I have to say that the Emperor of the Macro Period is indeed a generation of heroes, and his thoughts and opinions are correct. If all goes well, it will indeed develop according to his design.

After all, he had already smashed the teeth and fists of the Hualong people, what kind of storm could they make?

But, no, yes. He overlooked the fact that in the northwestern corner of the vast empire, a future funeral force was thriving under his appeasement......

"Master, then let's first set the goal on the three cities of Shahai, Pengyu and Shilizhuang, how about it?" Ye Chen looked at the map pointed by Xuanyuan Huan and shook his head slightly: "No, no, this can't be done." If you eat the three cities of Changhuling in one go, it will be strange if he is not anxious with you. Things have to come step by step, and you can't rush it. Ten years, you remember this time. In five years, you will be whole

The northwest will unite and destroy Changhuling. That's the initial planning. And now you can only take one city first, which is the closest to here and has no too important economic interests. ”

"Five, five years!" Xuanyuan Huan's eyes widened in surprise, too fast, right?

Ye Chen said with a smile: "It's five years, and this is also the most time that the Macro Emperor can give you." Saying that, Ye Chen pointed to the hinterland of the Central Plains on the map: "Look here, now there are flames, but these can't shake the foundation of the Mountain Meng Clan, I think as long as it takes a year or two, the Mountain Meng Clan can rectify the interior, and then suppress it externally." And at that time, the rabble will be large

I am afraid that it will not take two or three years to suppress some of them. ”

"No, won't it?" Xuanyuan Huan was stunned: "Now that the spark has become a trend, won't it develop to the potential of a prairie fire?"

"No, it won't. Ye Chen nodded firmly: "The Mountain Meng Clan is still different from you at the end of Hualong, he has not rotted to the roots, there is still a lot of room for compromise in interest groups, and the combat effectiveness of the army is still strong." And these are just a rabble. Although there are a large number of people, it is difficult to make a climate. Xuanyuan Huan gestured with his hands excitedly: "Their destructive power is great! This was the case when Hualong collapsed! This group of people who lit fires everywhere, they looted every place they went, and when they ransacked a place, they were able to accept countless more homeless people to join. Roll bigger and bigger, roll more and more,

In the end, it can't be cleaned up at all!" "Can't be cleaned up?" Ye Chen sneered: "That's just because the ruler of Hualong Country at that time was Hualong people, and now it has been replaced by the Mountain Meng Clan, of course they can clean it up, and the method is very simple, kill! Slaughter! One person will kill one person, ten thousand people will kill ten thousand people, and one million people will slaughter millions."

Do you think they can't do it?"

"This ......" Xuanyuan Huan was dumbfounded, can't do it? No, no, no! Of course the Mountain Fierce Clan will do it!

When Hualong collapsed and became the master, how many people were killed? I can't count them! Not to mention just a million, just add a zero to this number! They also did it!

Yes, Ye Chen said That's right, the Mountain Meng Clan is not the same as their Hualong Imperial Family!"Five years...... Xuanyuan Huan muttered and calculated the time: "Master, then, what about five years later, what should we do?"

"Five years later?" Ye Chen pointed to the center of the map, Heluo City: "Here, the heart of the Central Plains, in five years, it will be a strategic place for you and the Mountain Meng Clan to compete." ”

"Of course. Ye Chen picked up the bitter bud wine again and took a big sip: "At that time, your opponent may not be the Emperor of the Macro Period." ”

"What do you say?" Ye Chen said with a smile: "There are two possibilities for such an extreme purge in the macro period. The first is that he succeeded in purging the interior and becoming the core of absolute authority. The second is that he failed, and was defeated or even killed by the internal forces of the Mountain Warrior Clan. But either of these two possibilities has anything to do with you

Not too. Seeing that Xuanyuan Huan was puzzled, Ye Chen explained: "Don't take the role of the individual too seriously, especially the ruler. The things that the rulers have to do are actually pretty much the same, no matter who is in charge of the military affairs of the Shanmeng Kingdom, they will eventually come over and destroy you Xuanyuan Huan. No way, that's what has to be done

。 Otherwise, they can only kill all the Hualong people in the entire Hualong country, otherwise sooner or later there will be a situation like today's beacon fires. ”

Xuanyuan Huan nodded, and his face became solemn. Five years!

In the past five years, she has so much to do. It is necessary to accumulate strength while expanding, and to find a way to cultivate its own elite guards, at least it cannot be worse than the Wuyun Army and the Tenghu Battalion.

But it's a fantasy when you think about it.
