supreme heaven

When Qin Guyue was in Mengzhong City, she had said that Duan Jiuxiao's talent would lead an army in the future, but now Prince Wuye said it himself.

It must be known that if Prince Wuye succeeds this time, he will be the next king of Tianzhou, and his words are not just jokes.

In other words, after the matter is completed, Duan Jiuxiao's status is very likely to be a military marquis like Lanlinghou, at least a general of the first army, definitely not like Qin Guyue's current third-rank deputy general Habayashi who has no real power military position.

Duan Jiuxiao naturally had a happy face, and replied repeatedly: "I am willing to serve Your Highness."

With a faint smile, Prince Wuye raised his head, glanced at Yekong, and suddenly said: "The life of King Linxi must not be easy now!"

It can be said that Prince Wuye is half right.

In Linxi King's tent, which was far away from Ying Tianjun's military tent, many generals present did not say a word, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the big tent.

But this person, who was being watched by famous generals from all over the world, leaned on the table with one hand, propped his head with his right hand, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes to rest his mind.

If it wasn't for his fingers tapping the carved golden mahogany table from time to time, people would really think he had fallen asleep.

Compared with Linxi King's indifference, the attitude of the generals is quite not calm.

Each of them whispered something, as if they wanted to dispel the anxiety caused by the unfavorable battle situation.

Indeed, the current situation is really bad.

The five people who were still sitting here last night were all famous generals who used to be famous. Now three have committed suicide, and the other two may have defected to the enemy. Their lives and deaths are unknown. The generals who went into battle today are all wounded.

The loss of [-] troops made it even worse for the already unfavorable Linxi King Army.

Finally, King Linxi opened his eyes, looked at the people in the big tent, and said sharply: "If anyone thinks that this king will lose, you can drag your people away now!"

Hearing his words, almost all the speaking generals were stunned.

There was even a stunned young man who actually asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to that brat..." King Linxi snorted and said, "It's only a few hundred steps away from the big tent, you should know the way!"

It was a joke that no one laughed out loud.

"My lord, you're joking..." A general next to him hurriedly tugged at the hem of the stunned man's clothes and apologized with a smile.

"What I said is true, if you don't want to believe this king...there is no suspense about the outcome of this battle." King Linxi looked at the generals below and said coldly.

All the generals were dumb for a while.

"Okay..." King Linxi looked at the generals under his command and said, "Go back and appease your soldiers, the battle will turn around tomorrow..."

tomorrow?

The generals of the Linxi King's Army heard almost the same thing last night, but in fact, when the Linxi King's Army launched a surprise attack on Prince Wuye in the early morning, everyone's blood was boiling with excitement and good news... But the facts have proved that this It's just Prince Wuye's plan, and Yunjing City is just a decoy, a decoy to cover up the movements of the Hundred Thousand Yingtian Army.

The current Linxi King Army is like a beast that has stepped into a trap, in a dilemma.

Seeing that the generals were silent and skeptical, King Linxi raised his hand, waved it and said, "Everyone retreat... Strict fire prevention, the soldiers are half-rested, and they are not allowed to remove their armor!"

The so-called half-rest means that half of the soldiers can rest, and half of them have to keep watch at night. The shifts are changed at midnight, and the soldiers are kept in a fighting state. They are not allowed to remove their armor and can only sleep with their clothes on.

It's not that such an order must be issued to guard against night attacks or conduct night battles.

To be exact, King Linxi used his troops very cautiously. Those who followed him knew that "soldiers do not take off their armor, and horses do not take off their saddles." This has almost become his habit of leading troops.

After all the generals retreated, King Linxi and Qin Zhantian stayed behind.

It can be said that now that the battle situation has reached such a situation, the pressure on Qin Zhantian's shoulders is no less than that of King Linxi.

As King Linxi said on the first day, Qin Zhantian really felt powerless now, as if he had to do something that seriously violated his heart.Now he was in deep anxiety, and in a kind of regret that bordered on self-pity for himself.

Originally, when Yasheng Chu Fengge published "The Theory of Sheji", he chose the side of King Linxi out of an attitude of being responsible for the country and the country, but the promise he promised was that His Majesty Wu Lie would support the King of Linxi after a thousand years. Instead of supporting Prince Wuye.

This was originally a promise that was almost empty promises. His Majesty Wu Lie is still very strong, and it is certain that he will live for ten or twenty years. Who knows what will change at that time?

But Linxi King actually used such a method to directly tie Qin Zhantian to the chariot - to assassinate His Majesty Wu Lie!

His Majesty Wu Lie and Qin Zhantian have always been close friends. It can be said that if Qin Zhantian hadn't made the decision to support King Linxi, he would not have dared to do such a cruel hand. Indirectly speaking, it would have been Qin Zhantian He personally ruined the life of His Majesty Wu Lie.

Although speaking, everyone has seen that it was Qin Zhantian who desperately rescued His Majesty Wu Lie and Prince Wuye from the alien space of the Hall of Humans and Demons. , but who knew that he was one of the driving forces behind the assassination?

He frowns tightly, and tells King Linxi almost undisguisedly that he is currently in a conflicted state of mind.

So King Linxi took out a marching jug, lightly threw it to Qin Zhantian and said, "Zhantian, if you are in a bad mood, just drink a few cups!"

Qin Zhantian took the jug, and saw that the jug was not made of porcelain or leather, but made of iron... Tianzhou generally lacks iron, except for the Hokuriku multi-iron mine. It is a marching flagon in the northern army.

"This is an old item from the Battle of Haishan Pass..." Seeing Qin Zhantian staring at the marching jug in his hand in a daze, he said: "Back then, the evil soul sect surrounded Haishan Pass with 30 people, and this king and you can still get together." Talking and laughing at the world with this jug of turbid wine, determined to defeat the enemy, why are you so depressed today?"

Qin Zhantian heard that it was a artifact from Haishan Pass, so he couldn't help raising his hand, pulled out the cork, took a sip, smashed his mouth and said: "What a strong wine..."

"Wine from 20 years ago..." Linxi Wang smiled. "You and I have overcome powerful enemies together 20 years ago, and made great achievements in the world. What is this today?"

Qin Zhantian naturally understood King Linxi's original intention, and sighed: "This time, that time..."

"If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the Qin family!" Seeing that the emotional offensive didn't seem to have much effect on Qin Zhantian, King Linxi couldn't help pouting slightly and said, "Think about it, if you lose , What about the thousands of people in the Qin family? Your son, who is the future son-in-law of the king, Qin Aofeng... what about him?"

"Aofeng... Aofeng..." When Qin Zhantian mentioned this name, he couldn't help raising his hand, and took a sip of strong wine, as if he wanted to pour out the endless troubles in his chest.

King Linxi saw Qin Zhantian's reaction. He is a master of scheming. He naturally knew that he had poked Qin Zhantian's sore spot. He looked at Qin Zhantian and said, "This king has also seen it. He is very similar to you, and should be a person with destiny. As long as he has the opportunity to cultivate well, he will be at least a star-level powerhouse. But if the Qin family can't maintain the current state, how can we give him the best conditions to let him develop himself? Woolen cloth?"

However, what King Linxi said was exchanged for another sentence from Qin Zhantian.

"It would be great if Lonely Moon was in...!"

At this moment, what he thought of was actually his eldest son, Qin Guyue, who was considered useless and ineffective.

"Zhan Tian..." King Linxi was stunned for a moment, then moistened his throat, and persuaded: "Nephew Gu Yue has been missing for almost two years. If he is still alive, there will definitely be news. I also asked people to collect clues about my nephew, but found nothing, you... you should be sorry."

"No..." Qin Zhantian shook his head and said, "Gu Yue should still be alive, he can't die so easily!"

"But with our intelligence network, it's impossible to be alone for more than two years without any news!" King Linxi deliberately raised his voice, and said to Qin Zhantian, "Zhantian, you shouldn't think about it now. Instead of thinking about the eldest son who has not heard from him for many years, you should think about how to protect your talented second son and such a big Qin family behind you!"

Qin Zhantian was silent.

King Linxi smiled, took out an identical military jug from his sleeve, compared it to Qin Zhantian, lifted the cap, took a sip, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will The king hopes that you can make a move!"

"Using half a step of Xinghao's strength to kill ordinary Yingtian Army soldiers?" Qin Zhantian murmured.

"Success or failure, since ancient times, has always been the winner and the loser..." King Linxi couldn't help saying after hearing Qin Zhantian's words: "You and I are very clear about this point. Soldiers are deceitful. No one will fight because of opponents. Abide by the rules and deliberately lose to the opponent, all we need is victory, one victory after another!"

Qin Zhantian shook his head when he heard King Linxi's words.

"This is not in line with my original intention..." Qin Zhantian shook his head and sighed: "If I do this, my strength may regress, and it may even affect my future cultivation. If you do something against the harmony of heaven, you may be punished by heaven."

"God's punishment?" King Linxi said with a sneer: "The leader of the evil soul sect, I don't know how many innocent people in my pilgrimage have been slaughtered to practice magic skills, and I don't see any kind of punishment for him. I'm afraid he's one step ahead of you now, and it's already gone!" It's the Xinghao realm, why are you so cocooned?"
