At this moment, there were two people standing outside the door, none other than Zhan Kuang and Zhan Yuehua.

Zhan Kuang sighed and opened the door.

Looking at the person coming, the middle-aged man who was losing his temper also froze.

"Brother, why are you here?" The man's face twitched and he looked at Zhan Kuang with a look of fear.

This man's name is Zhan Jie, and he is Zhan Kuang's younger brother.

After all, Zhan Kuang is a strong man in the Innate Realm. He cannot take action easily. Instead, he sits in charge of the Zhan family and strategizes. The real leader of the entire country's army is Zhan Jie in front of him.

In addition to Zhan Jie, there was also a young man in the room.

The young man stood up, saluted to Zhan Kuang and said, "My son is defending his country. Please pay your respects to your father."

Zhan Kuang nodded slightly to Zhan Weiguo.

"If I don't come, are you going to destroy the entire Zhan family?" King Zhan said.

"Brother, I really can't accept it. It's my Zhan family who protects the country for the Wantie Dynasty. Now I've just been defeated by the Tamo Dynasty. There are some losses on the front line. People from other families can't wait to take advantage of my Zhan family. Bite off a piece of meat.

This morning in the court, members of the five major families of Ying, Chu, Yan, Zhao, and Han all recommended talents to me openly and secretly. Don’t I still understand what these guys are thinking?" Zhan Jie explained.

Zhan Kuang shook his head and said: "Nearly 700,000 troops have been deployed on the front line. Even for a strong man in the realm of Foundation Building, it is not easy to break through forcefully. If you hadn't been greedy for credit and rushed forward, and had to pursue the victory, how could you have defeated the opponent? and tower.

043 Now is the price you have to pay. To be precise, it is the price the Zhan family has to pay because of your fault. "

Zhan Kuang's tone was very calm, but he was not angry, so Zhan Jie did not dare to refute.

Seeing this, Zhan Weiguo couldn't help but said: "Father, I don't blame the second uncle for this. The main reason is that the Tamo Dynasty was too shameless and would send strong men from the Foundation Building realm to participate in the war. The second uncle and all the generals are worried about this." We have discussed that if we take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, we can wipe out 50,000 elite soldiers of the Tamo Dynasty, so

"The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. You only care about immediate interests without considering the worst case scenario. Now you are still trying to shirk responsibility. Is this what you have learned in the army over the years, Weiguo?" Zhan Kuang stared at Zhan Weiguo closely. His eyes looked a little dissatisfied.

Being taught a lesson by his father, Zhan Weiguo couldn't help but shrink his neck and didn't dare to interrupt again.

"Father, Wei Guo and his second uncle just came back today, please eliminate them." Zhan Qiehua on the side interrupted.

Hearing Zhan Yuehua's voice, Zhan Kuang's expression softened significantly.

Zhan Kuang said slowly: "The existence of war is to distribute benefits. Now it is a foregone conclusion. In order to get the last place in Lieyang Sect, my Zhan family must support Li Tianxia's decision."

"Ah? Brother, how is this possible?" Zhan said in disbelief.

"Idiot, don't you (bfcd) know what you will get by joining the Lieyang Sect? If the Tamo Dynasty gets the extra spot, ten years later, I am afraid that the opponent will have an extra strong man in the Innate Realm world. Are you asking if the Wantie Dynasty was destroyed?" Zhan Kuang said angrily.

Zhan Jie couldn't help but shrink his neck when he heard this. Although he looked unwilling, he still nodded seriously.

This is politics. Sometimes even if your own interests are harmed, you can only compromise for the greater good. Everything is the result of trade-offs.

"Although this defeat has given other families an opportunity to plant nails in the army, the overall situation will not change. Our Zhan family can still firmly control the national army. I will also go to the court meeting tomorrow." Zhan Kuang said slowly .

Hearing this, Zhan Jie looked surprised and said, "Brother, you don't have to go to such a trivial matter as the court meeting. It's all the same thing anyway."

As a strong man in the Innate Realm world, Zhan Kuang has rarely gone to court in recent years.

"I heard that a monk at the first level of Foundation Building came outside the palace today, named Bai Qi." Zhan Kuang had a curious look on his face.

"Brother, do you want to see this person?"

Zhan Kuang nodded: "The secret whistle in the palace came with news that Bai Qi should be around 30 years old, and after this person met Li Tianxia, ​​a large number of secret guards in the imperial city should have been mobilized to investigate this person's identity. ."

"30 years old! Is this...really fake?" Zhan Jie said in surprise.

Not only Zhan Jie, but also Zhan Weiguo and Zhan Yuehua had surprised looks on their faces.

It would be understandable if such a talent appeared in a big family like the Zhan family and the Li family, but if it were an Independent Cultivator, it would be really surprising.

"Li Tianxia did not hesitate to mobilize so many secret guards to leave the imperial city. I guess it was just to find out the origin of Bai Qi. His age should be true, otherwise Li Tianxia would not be so aggressive. The 30-year-old Foundation Building first level, even if he is Compared to me and Li Tianxia back then, he is no less generous, and he is an Independent Cultivator, so his qualifications may be better than ours." Zhan Kuang explained.

"It's true that the potential is huge, but it's not as good as our Yuehua girl." Zhan Jie said proudly.

Zhan Yuehua bowed slightly when he heard this: "Second uncle is joking."

"If you don't have long-term worries, you will always have immediate worries. Yuehua's future does not lie with the Wantie Dynasty. When she joins the Lieyang Sect, she will definitely pursue a higher realm of immortality. Do you still think she can protect my Zhan family for the rest of her life?" Zhan Kuang frowned.

Seeing that his eldest brother was getting angry again, Zhan Jie couldn't help but scratch his head: "What eldest brother is teaching you is, are you going to win over our Zhan family for nothing?"

"I'll take a look tomorrow. It would be best if I can win him over. If not, I must suppress him or find an opportunity to kill him." A trace of murderous intent flashed through Zhan Kuang's eyes.

On the second day, Li Tianxia arrived at the study early. He was not in a hurry to attend the court meeting, but was waiting for news.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to change your clothes. If you stay any longer, you may miss the court meeting." A eunuch serving Li Tianxia reminded him.

Li Tianxia said lightly: "If I am late, I will let them all wait."

Before attending the court meeting, Li Tianxia must wait for news from the secret guards, which will determine his choice today.

"I hope this person has nothing to do with other families, otherwise don't blame me for being cruel." Li Tianxia thought to himself.

At this moment, Li Tianxia seemed to feel something, waved his hand and said: "Everyone, step back."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The palace maid and eunuch bowed and left the study in a hurry.

After the others left, a Daoist figure appeared in the room.

"Say." Li Tianxia said.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that Bai Qi did not lie. He has lived in the killing city for more than 20 years. Many people know him. There is no way that this person is related to other families.

"The secret guard reported back.

Li Tianxia's eyes lit up with joy when he heard this.

"More than twenty years ago, he was not yet an adult at that time." Li Tianxia couldn't help but ask.

"The secret guards captured some ordinary people in the Killing City to verify each other, and the news they got was that this person was only eight years old when he arrived in the Killing City.

It is rumored that Bai Qi started killing people when he was eight years old. At first, he took orders to kill ordinary mortals, and later he killed monks in the Qi Refining Realm. Recently, it was also rumored that he killed a strong man in the fifth level of Foundation Building. This man is quite scary. "The secret guard told Li Tianxia all the news he knew, but when he said this, his tone was a little solemn.

Where is the Capital of Killing? Probably no one in the entire Eastern Domain knows about it.

It is a miracle that an eight-year-old child can survive in that kind of place.

Moreover, Bai Qi has been killing people for more than 20 years. It is easy to say this, but if you think about it carefully, you can realize the horror and danger in it.

In the hearts of the secret guards, this strong man named Bai Qi is far more terrifying than the average Foundation Building realm, and can even be said to be a monster.

"Hahahaha, okay, as long as there is no relationship with other families, I will dare to use anyone no matter how scary it is. If he is an incompetent person, I have no interest in recruiting him." Li Tianxia laughed.

Having lived in the killing city since he was eight years old, Li Tianxia would never believe that such a person would be related to other families in the Wantie Dynasty. If such powerful people could recruit the Li family, they would be a great help in the future.

"Come here, help me change my clothes [to go to court." Li Tianxia waved his hand and shouted. .
