After capturing Diancheng, Lin San ordered the army to rest for a day and then march a day later.

......

Demon King Mountain.

Inside the main hall at the top of the mountain.

His Majesty the Demon King was dressed in a yellow robe, sitting alone in a chair in a daze.

"Your Majesty, I'm here. Prime Minister Jin Xiaoyu walked slowly into the main hall with a folding fan.

"Prime Minister, you're finally here, I'm dying!" the demon king stood up and strode up to meet him.

Jin Xiaoyu asked suspiciously, "What makes Your Majesty so anxious?"

"Alas......" the demon king sighed: "I just received news that the four cities of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning have been captured by the enemy. ”

"Huh?" Jin Xiaoyu was stunned: "Wind, fire, thunder, and lightning are linked together, and the four cities are arranged, and the defense is absolutely powerful, how can it be captured by the enemy?"

The demon king shook his head: "I don't know the specific process, in short, the four cities of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning have fallen, and even Haoyang has been captured alive by the enemy." ”

Jin Xiaoyu twitched cheeky: "I thought that Haoyang was proficient in arranging troops and should be able to resist the enemy's attack, but who knew that it would be ...... in the end" To be honest, at the beginning, Jin Xiaoyu was still quite confident in Haoyang, thinking that Haoyang was a rare general, and his subordinates led more than 100,000 troops, which should be able to defeat the enemy, but who knew that in the end it was a big defeat, and Haoyang really disappointed Jin Xiaoyu.

"Prime Minister, the enemy army has just sent news, let me exchange two conditions for Haoyang!" the demon king said in a deep voice.

"What are the two conditions?" Jin Xiaoyu asked.

"First, let me lift the ban in Gu Jialan's body, and second, let me surrender and give up the position of the demon king. The Demon King said both of the enemy's conditions.

Jin Xiaoyu smiled: "Did the enemy's brain be kicked by a donkey, and they actually offered such harsh conditions? Do they think Haoyang's life is really so valuable?"

The demon king opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"Your Majesty, what are you hesitating about? Just refuse directly, as for Haoyang...... I can only give it up, it's a big deal, I will compensate Haoyang's wife and children in the future, and set up a merit monument for Haoyang!" Jin Xiaoyu proposed.

The demon king shook his head: "Prime Minister, there is one thing I haven't told you. ”

"What's the matter?" Jin Xiaoyu was a little puzzled in his heart, not knowing what the demon king was going to say to him?

The demon king exhaled a breath of turbid air and said slowly: "That Haoyang...... Actually, it's my illegitimate child......"

"Huh!?" Jin Xiaoyu almost bit his tongue: "Your Majesty, you're not kidding me......"

The demon king smiled bitterly: "When is it, where do I still have the heart to joke." ”

Jin Xiaoyu's cheeks kept twitching, he didn't know what to say, he never dreamed that Haoyang would be the illegitimate son of the demon king.

"I'm in a mess right now, and I really don't know what to do. The demon king said depressedly.

Jin Xiaoyu groaned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, if you want me to say, you must not agree to the conditions of the enemy army. ”

"If you don't agree to the conditions, Haoyang will die. The Demon King's brows furrowed.

"Sometimes, some sacrifices are inevitable, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice. Jin Xiaoyu persuaded.

The Demon King was silent.

"Your Majesty, if you continue to make decisions, you will suffer from it!" Seeing that the demon king was silent for a long time, Jin Xiaoyu suddenly said urgently: "For the sake of the great cause of a thousand years, I can only sacrifice General Haoyang!"

"Alas......" The demon king sighed long: "I'm ashamed of Haoyang...... If there is an afterlife, I will definitely compensate Haoyang!" Listening to the tone of the demon king, it seemed that he had accepted Jin Xiaoyu's proposal and was going to give up Haoyang, between the power position and his son, the demon king finally chose the power position.

Speaking of which, Lin San really shot himself in the foot this time, if he didn't propose to let the demon king abdicate, and only lift the ban for Gu Jialan, maybe the demon king might really agree, but Lin San's brain was hot, and he actually made a condition for the demon king to abdicate, and now things became completely worse.

"Prime Minister, the enemy army is menacing, how can we resist it?" Since the four cities of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning were breached, the demon king finally began to really pay attention to the enemy army, and no longer dared to underestimate the lethality of the enemy army.

Jin Xiaoyu took out a map from his arms and spread it on the table: "If the enemy wants to reach the Demon King Mountain, a total of thirteen checkpoints need to be passed, ten of which are cities, and now six have been captured by the enemy, and there are still four cities left, Your Majesty, you can look at the map, the remaining four cities are not in a good location, the area is not large, the city is not very strong, and the garrison in the city is even less pitiful, so the remaining four cities will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the enemy." ”

"Then what should I do? I can't just watch those four cities being captured by the enemy, right?" the demon king's face sank.

Jin Xiaoyu shook his head: " At present, we can only abandon the four cities, and then we put all our forces on the last three levels, the defense ability of these three levels is very strong, one level is a swampy place, the swamp is full of poisonous gas and poisonous snakes, it is a very dangerous place, the enemy wants to cross the swamp, it is very difficult, the second level is the Dayu River, the river can be hundreds of zhang wide, the river is very turbulent, the most important thing is that there are a lot of monsters living at the bottom of the river, these monsters are the descendants of ancient beasts, due to genetics, they can not be transformed, but their intelligence is not low, and the cultivation is also very high, the most important thing isThe last checkpoint is the Lion Rock, the Lion Rock covers an extremely vast area, the north and south lengths are tens of thousands of zhang, and the garrison on the mountain is nearly 200,000 troops, the strength is strong, and it is definitely not something that the enemy can resist, as long as we grasp the last three checkpoints, the enemy army will not be able to eat and walk!

"Your proposal is very good and practical, but ...... Do you really want to give up those four cities?" the Demon King hesitated.

"Your Majesty, it's not that we have to give up, but the strength of the four remaining cities is too low, even if we send troops to support, it is estimated that we will not be able to withstand the enemy's attack. Jin Xiaoyu explained.

"Are we going to give up the four cities to the enemy?" the demon king was still a little reluctant.

Jin Xiaoyu shook his head: "Of course it can't be given to the enemy in vain, although the resistance strength of the remaining four cities is low, but it also has the ability to fight with the enemy, and the enemy army must not be allowed to easily get the four cities! ”
