Jiaozhou, the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The night rain was like a note, the thunder reflected the tilting building of the Governor's Palace, the lights on the top floor flickered in the wind, and the angry voice of Xiangshan followed: "Boiling green shaft, how dare you do this!"

Xiangshan said as he spoke, his face was red, and he was flustered for a while.

Others don't know, but Xiangshan has come into contact with a lot of information about the West Sea, but he knows how deep the accumulation of the West Sea is, which makes people fearful.

Just thinking about it, someone below whispered: "My lord, the information is verified to be true, now is not the time to think about this, let's deal with it quickly!"

"You're right, you have to deal with ......"

Xiangshan calmed down, holding a teacup, and wandered in the bucket room: "Once the water tribe goes ashore, the combat power will be greatly reduced, but we don't need to be afraid of the West Sea, but the time to go east and north, and unify the continent must be delayed......"

There was a knock on the door, and the magician reported outside: "King, the South China Sea is a text, telling them to break away from my Ming Dynasty and take refuge in the West Sea ......"

"Pop" The teacup shattered all over the place, Xiangshan shook his hands, and his face was cloudy: "Shaft, dare to ......"

Reflecting the wind, rain, thunder and lightning outside, there was a depressing atmosphere of panic indoors, several cronies looked at each other, and Feng Hao tentatively said: "Maybe you can reconcile, Yingzhou Nanhai is an aquarium, but I was forced to take refuge in my Ming Dynasty back then......"

"Needless to say, what's the reason for the other society, at both ends of the first rat, there is no need for this South China Sea Dragon Clan to exist?" said Xiangshan staring at Feng Hao with cold eyes.

Feng Haoqiang said calmly: "That's the case, it's just that I, Daming, are now worried about internal and external troubles, and I use troops everywhere, where do I have the spare strength to take care of the affairs of this South China Sea Water Tribe?"

Listened to this. Xiangshan took a deep breath and calmed down. Shaking his head: "Your Majesty trusts us and waits...... Teaching a foundation to my generation, I don't want to say that there are too many achievements. Expand the territory and strengthen my Ming Dynasty, but you can't lose the existing foundation before Your Majesty returns!"

The people are silent, the food of the king, and the matter of loyalty to the king, even within the system, it is difficult to resist such a great righteousness.

"Your Majesty has been going to the Jade Void Palace for ten years, and no news has come back, but I don't know what to do. "At this time. One official said, "I hope nothing happens." ”

Hearing this, Xiangshan suddenly glared at the official and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?

When the heavenly court was not extinguished, there was a saying that there was one day in heaven and one year on earth, and now Your Majesty is going to the saint's dojo, and the speed of time is different from the outside world, and it may be slower than the time flow of heaven, and I have been waiting here for more than ten years. Your Majesty may have only been there for a day or two.

At this time, no news comes out but it's nothing, and if there is news, you need to worry. Do not speculate. ”

When Xiangshan said this, he sat motionless in his position, his head bowed. I couldn't see the expression clearly, for a long time. He said hoarsely: "Don't think about alarming Your Majesty about some small things, I'll find a way to solve it myself."

On the other side of the West Sea. Send an envoy to the past to find out the situation and send some gifts, it is best to stabilize them, if not, then find a way, as for the South China Sea, it must be crusaded and severely punished. ”

"Longchuan Shuifu must be touched this time, send someone over to ask if the Longchuan Dragon King can get out of the customs, and also, summon the boil to come back, I have raised him for so many years, but now it is time to use him. ”

The people below looked at each other, and someone immediately responded: "Yes!"

There was a flash of light, and the sky was split in two, and then darkness was restored, and only the heavy rain poured down, and the people gave the command, and they all dispersed.

And Xiangshan is quietly waiting.

Half an hour later, a person came in and said, "King, Lord Boiling has come, waiting for Jin to see you at the door!"

"Say!" said Xiang Shan immediately.

After a while, I saw Boiled come in and saluted in front of the steps: "Boiled to see the King of Xiangshan!"

Saying that he would salute, Xiangshan replied: "There is no need to be formal." ”

He was not polite, so he immediately straightened his body and looked at Xiangshan calmly.

"Sit down!" Elephant Mountain waved his hand: "Look at this!"

As soon as he sat down, he heard this, and suddenly he saw the things sent by Xiangshan, and then put them aside and said, "I already know this." Now, my Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, since the West Sea is going to fight, we are going to fight, there is no need to say more. ”

"You know one thing, you don't know the other. Xiangshan glanced at the change, got up and paced two steps, stood at the door and looked at the rainy night, and said for a long time: "My Ming Dynasty is indeed stronger than before, and its strength is no less than that of the Xihai Clan."

It's just that before the Southern Demon Gate rose up, after occupying Jingzhou, it did not expand to the east, but turned to Jiaozhou to use troops, and now General Yuan Hong is taking most of our Ming soldiers and horses to fight with it in Jiaodong, and he can't turn back for the time being.

And to the north, the soldiers and horses to defend the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are still insufficient, and there is no way to draw some back.

Xihai made a move at this time, but the timing was extremely accurate. At this moment, in fact, my Ming is already empty, and there are no soldiers available for the time being. ”

Hearing this, he suddenly felt cold in his heart, and only asked, "What does the King of Xiangshan want to do?"

Xiangshan said: "I have sent an envoy to the West Sea, but I need you to be prepared, if the West Sea refuses to stop the army, you will lead the headquarters to meet the West Sea and the South China Sea Water Tribe, at least delay them for a month, give me some time, let me have some time to transfer troops." ”

Hearing this, Xi Chang suddenly said: "It's okay in the South China Sea, but over there in the West Sea, the father and son of Ji Lie and Ji Qing are both Da Luo Jin Immortals, I am only the strength of the Heavenly Immortal level, how can I resist them, this requirement is difficult for some strong people." ”

After boiling and changing, seeing that Xiangshan didn't answer, and his face was a little ugly, he immediately said: "Let the Northern Stygian Fish help me, this may be possible." ”

Xiangshan shook his head and said: "He also knows what you said, if you don't send a master like the Northern Stygian Fish to help, it is indeed difficult for you to resist the West Sea Clan for January."

However, you have been leading troops all year round, but you don't know that my situation is much more complicated than you imagined.

What was my Sanjianling like back then, you know, dozens of our monsters who have cultivated to the highest level of immortals. Lead thousands of little demons in just a few decades. has laid such a country, and the expansion is too fast.

Because the roots are shallow. However, we have sheltered a large number of foreign forces, especially in the past ten years, because of the special situation, it is difficult for the demon clan to absorb it, and we have even absorbed a large number of Terran monks and forces.

Now, there are many factions within my Ming Dynasty, and there are many people with evil intentions and various unstable factors.

Many forces and families are just forbearing, once they see the right time. will immediately take a bite of Da Ming, or even replace Da Ming.

If possible, I really don't want to use troops externally at this time, I just hope to integrate the internal and eliminate all kinds of unstable factors, but the situation is like this, but I can't do it.

Now, General Yuan Hong has led his troops outside. The Northern Fish must be in charge no matter what.

If he leaves, the enemy on the outside may be in chaos on the inside before the enemy has even begun to fight.

Once the rear is in chaos, how can we talk about retreating from the enemy. ”

After boiling and listening. There was silence for a moment, and then he asked, "Can't you contact Your Majesty and ask him to come back for a while?"

The Northern Stygian Fish shook his head and said, "You are the old man of Sanjianling. There are some things I don't hide from you. I said that there was no need to bother His Majesty to come back, but in reality it was. I have contacted His Majesty before, but there has been no response. We have already cut off contact with Your Majesty, but I am afraid that people's hearts will be unstable, so I dare not tell them the actual situation. ”

Hearing this, he also frowned deeply and said: "Grandma, I don't feel it when I don't have an accident, I just feel that His Majesty, who doesn't care about things on weekdays, is dispensable, and it's the same whether there is anything or not."

At this time, something happened and I found out that I really can't do without him now. “

Xiangshan nodded and said, "Yes! The previous crises were resolved by His Majesty, and we are too incompetent." ”

He said: "Cultivation needs to be accumulated over time, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight, as if our strength is improved to the Three Realms, it is already considered fast, but we are not incompetent, but Your Majesty is too abnormal." ”

Xiangshan nodded and said, "Having said that, it's useless to talk about it now. I'm just asking you if you can hold off the West Sea Clan for a month. ”

Without thinking about it, he said, "Even if you ask a hundred times, this matter is absolutely impossible." ”

Hearing this answer, Xiangshan suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while, he suddenly raised his head, gritted his teeth, and said coldly: "The matter is urgent, it seems that I have to take a risk." ”

Boiled asked, "Are you willing to send the Northern Stygian Fish to help me?"

Xiangshan shook his head and said, "Didn't the demon clans who escaped from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall also establish a lot of power? ”

"You're playing with fire!" said as his face changed dramatically.

Xiangshan said: "As long as Your Majesty comes back, everything will not be a problem, and that's it for the time being." ”

After saying this, he was silent.

On the east bank of the Longchuan River, Yuan Hong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was parading on the school ground, and the military spirit was condensed.

"General, the king of Xiangshan has sent you a letter, please open it yourself. A colonel came up and handed over the paperwork.

Yuan Hong, when he opened it, he looked at it, and his face suddenly changed: "Is Xiangshan crazy?

The little school didn't dare to read the document in advance, and he didn't know what it said, so he didn't dare to answer, so he just stood quietly aside.

In the past ten years, he has gradually discovered that the restrictions imposed on him by the Fengshen List have become much smaller, but his restricted cultivation has been somewhat loosened.

However, he felt that if he wanted to make another breakthrough in his cultivation, he needed a lot of luck and incense power.

And after all, the population of Daming is too small, and even Jiaozhou has not been able to fully control it, so although it is a big force on the earth in reputation, but in fact it is not very lucky, and it is far inferior to those big forces in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

Moreover, because Liang Qing had rewarded him aggressively before, only the Heavenly King had sealed a lot, and the rest were high-ranking officials, so that his luck was beyond his means, and Yuan Hong also found that the incense power of the Ming Kingdom was secretly stolen by someone for unknown reasons.

Yes, he didn't get much, and it was impossible to break through with the current conditions.

This time, he was about to do a big job, but he didn't expect to receive such a thing, which made him very annoyed.

However, Yuan Hong didn't want others to know this, he just said to the little school: "Reply over there, just say I know." ”

Immediately, Yuan Hong stopped talking.

Inside the Jade Void Dojo.

In a cave mansion, Deng Yuan handed a stack of gift slips to Jiang Ziya.

Jiang Zi didn't look at it, but just asked, "Someone has taken refuge again!"

Deng Yuan nodded and said: "The First Patriarch of the Yuan praised Senior Brother Liang Qing by name several times, everyone can see what the intention of the First Patriarch of the Yuan is, even if he has no intention of taking refuge, for the sake of the future, it will not prevent him from giving some gifts and forming a good fate." ”

Jiang Ziya nodded and said, "However, Senior Brother Liang Qing has been in retreat for ten years and has not shown up. ”

Deng Yuandao: "Because of this, these gifts were delivered to us. ”

Jiang Ziya didn't care much about this, but said: "What did the teacher say that day when he recruited Senior Brother Liang Qing to go, why did Senior Brother Liangqi go back without saying a word to us and retreat, and he hasn't come out for ten years." ”

Deng Yuan said: "It is a common thing for monks of my generation to retreat, especially for those like Senior Brother Liang Qing who have just made a breakthrough in cultivation, they all have to retreat to consolidate their cultivation, and ten years of retreat is nothing to Da Luo Jinxian.

The guide teacher is the real master of Senior Brother Liang Qing, and it is normal to say a few words when you see Senior Brother Liang Qing.

On that day, perhaps the teacher pointed out something to Senior Brother Liang Qing, so Senior Brother Liang Qing realized something and went into retreat to digest it.

But there's no need to think about it. ”

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said, "I don't think it's that simple. ”

After a pause, Jiang Ziya said again: "You say, has Senior Brother Liang been avoiding us all these years?"

Deng Yuan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why is he hiding from us?" If he is unwilling to accept us, he will explain it directly, why bother, Senior Brother Jiang, I am afraid you are thinking too much. ”

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said: "No matter what, let's return these things first, and don't agree to those who intend to take refuge in it for the time being. ”

Deng Yuan asked, "Isn't everything very good? Is this necessary?"

Jiang Ziya said: "It's because everything is too good and too smooth that I'm worried." ”

"I don't understand you. Deng Yuan suddenly said with some disappointment.

Jiang Ziya said: "I know Teacher Yuan Shi better than you, listen to me." ”

"Okay, you're a senior brother, you have the final say. Deng Yuan said suddenly. (To be continued.) )
