Manna Hall.

Li Er looked at the ministers in the hall and nodded slightly. He was about to issue an order to send troops when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Zexuan behind him who lowered his head and said nothing. He was confused, so he stopped what he was saying and asked in a deep voice:

"Li Zexuan~! What do you think of the pharmacist's plan~?"

As soon as Li Er finished speaking, everyone in the palace was shocked to realize that Li Zexuan was a little too quiet today! It's not like Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Cheng Yaojin and others had not discussed matters with Li Zexuan in the court.

Naturally, they knew Li Zexuan's "urinary nature" very well, so they felt that Li Zexuan's performance today was too abnormal!

In fact, as soon as Li Zexuan entered the Ganlu Hall today, he stood silently in the corner. Except for Qin Qiong's question to him just now and his answer, he did not say a word in the rest of the time. There was anger, sadness, and more in his heart.

It’s a deep remorse!

Two hundred and fifteen living young lives, how innocent they were~! But now they are dead because they helped themselves avenge themselves~!

This represents 215 families. Because of him, Li Zexuan, there will be a tragedy where the white-haired people give away the black-haired people~!

You can call him a saint, but every time Li Zexuan thinks about this, his heart bleeds. It's not that he doesn't want to see dead people, he doesn't want to see others die for him~!

If God could give him another chance to choose again, he would end this war without hesitation. He would rather find a way to slowly kill the flying snake alone than let innocent people be implicated~!

"Li Zexuan~! I'm asking you something~!"

Li Er, who was sitting at the top, saw that Li Zexuan was still indifferent, so he couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I am here~!"

In fact, Li Zexuan had already heard when Li Er called him for the first time. The reason why he didn't answer was because he was thinking about something very important and had to come out and answer at this time.

"I just asked you, what is the medicine master's plan to kill snakes~? Why didn't you answer~?"

Li Er asked with a frown.

Although he would not punish Li Zexuan for this trivial matter, he was somewhat unhappy in his heart.

Li Zexuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Li's strategy of siege but not attack, I think is very safe. I was just blaming myself for the two hundred and fifteen dead soldiers, and was distracted for a moment, so I couldn't hear clearly.

Your Majesty, please forgive me for what you said~!"

Li Er suddenly understood, and he said with a complex expression: "Raising troops for a thousand days, using them for a while! The 215 Beiya Imperial Guards did not die on the battlefield, but died in the belly of the snake. It is really sad! But the Seventh Cultivation Serpent

It is a disaster for the people's livelihood. These soldiers have made a contribution to the people of the Tang Dynasty with their lives. They are all meritorious officials. I will ask the Ministry of War to formulate a pension plan for them! So Li Zexuan, you don't have to blame yourself too much~!"

It's okay not to say it. When Li Er said it, Li Zexuan's heart suddenly turned into a knife. He took two steps forward, knelt down on one knee, and made a big salute:

"Your Majesty, the main cause of the attack on Sheling Mountain this time was because of me, but I didn't expect that more than 200 soldiers would be killed because of this. How can I not blame myself~? Uncle Li's siege did not happen before.

I agree with the attack strategy for the most part, but there is one thing I need to add, and I hope your majesty will approve it~"

Li Er frowned and said solemnly: "You say~!"

"Your Majesty, what I want to do is to send a large army with heavy crossbows to surround the mountain. If the Seventh Cultivator snake comes down from the mountain, use heavy crossbows to drive it back to the mountain and prevent it from harming the people. Then Your Majesty will give me three days

Time. With two hundred and fifteen human lives, I will definitely be able to make everyone in the Seventh Cultivating Sect and that evil beast pay with their blood within three days~!"

Within the main hall.

Although Li Zexuan's voice was small, it was extremely firm. Anyone could feel the cold murderous intent in his voice.

"Your Majesty, the general is also asking for a fight~! The general is to blame for this defeat, so please give the general a chance to make amends~!"

After listening to Li Zexuan's words, Dugu Xin thought that Li Zexuan was going to personally lead his troops to the mountain to kill the snake again! So he quickly clasped his fists and said.

Li Er frowned and said: "The pharmacist said before that the terrain on Sheling Mountain is rugged and not conducive to large-scale military operations. You two have just come down from the mountain. You must have a clearer understanding of why you want to attack the mountain again? In any case, under the guidance of Zhu Qing,

I will not send troops to attack the mountain until I come up with a complete plan~! When marching and fighting, you can't act on your own initiative~!"

Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of leading the army to attack the mountain again. I mean, the Seventh Cultivation Sect, the Seventh Cultivation Serpent, and I, one person is enough~!"

"What~?"

Li Er's eyes widened, and he stood up suddenly. His sharp eyes like a falcon glanced directly at Li Zexuan's face. He said word by word: "Li Zexuan, do you really mean what you just said~?"

All the ministers in the palace were shocked and inexplicable. Qin Qiong reacted quickly. He quickly came over and pulled Li Zexuan's arm, saying anxiously: "Xiao Xuan, I know that you blame yourself, but you can't ignore reality just because you are eager for revenge.

!”

Li Zexuan shook his head, thanked Qin Qiong first, then looked at Li Er and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, what I just said is absolutely not false~! I only need the imperial army to blockade Sheling Mountain for three days, and then

Within three days, I alone can destroy the Seventh Cultivation Sect in one fell swoop~! In the final analysis, the enmity between Xiaochen and the Seventh Cultivation Sect is personal. I don’t want innocent people to lose their lives because of this~! I beg your Majesty to grant your permission.

~!"

Fang Xuanling nodded secretly, thinking that this child was really kind-hearted. When he saw Li Er was about to speak, he quickly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, please allow me to say something~!"

Li Erdao: "Fang Aiqing, tell me~!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty~!"

Fang Xuanling bowed her hands to Li Er, then turned to look at Li Zexuan and asked: "Li Zhanshi is brave and fearless, and loves soldiers as much as his own son. I am very pleased! Although I am not proficient in martial arts, I heard General Dugu's previous description.

, but he also knows that the Seven Cultivation Sects of Snake Spirit Mountain cannot be competed by one person~! As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall. Li Zhanshi is already shouldering important responsibilities. At this time, he must not let himself get lost due to a momentary impulse.

In danger~!”

Obviously, Fang Xuanling has a love for talents, and he doesn't want Li Zexuan to die!

Li Er also nodded and said: "What Fang Aiqing said makes sense. Li Zexuan, the grudge between the Seventh Cultivation Sect and you is not a personal grudge. As a courtier, you represent the court. If they dare to assassinate you, they are despising the country's authority. I

I won’t tolerate them~! So there’s no need for you to take risks alone~! Regarding the Seventh Cultivation Sect, I will deal with it differently~!”

Li Zexuan felt helpless. He had never thought about attacking the mountain alone~! He was not mentally retarded, and of course he would not die foolishly.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. However, what I just said was not motivated by emotion, nor did I put myself under a dangerous wall. I am confident that I can destroy the Seventh Cultivation Sect with one person!"
