"Qinchuan Li Xiaomo pays homage to Princess Jingbei." Li Xiaomo said with clasped fists in his hands.
Tianyi hurriedly supported him: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Didn't you already say that we are all friends, there is no need to be so polite."
"Etiquette cannot be discarded, etiquette cannot be discarded." Li Xiaomo said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for many days, but the princess is still as charming as ever."
Tianyi said humbly: "Your Majesty praised me."
"Your Majesty sent troops to Youyun to restore our homeland in China. Xiao Mo originally wanted to accompany your Majesty on the expedition to see his feats, but he was busy with family affairs, so he gave up." Li Xiaomo laughed and said, "I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess returned to her hometown to pay homage to her ancestors today.
Xiao Mo happens to be in Yinfeng Castle, so he came here to visit. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
Tianyi said indifferently: "Your Majesty, you are too polite. As we said, Your Majesty, you are our best friend in Hetao, so of course we won't mind. By the way, I heard that Pu Zhicheng has more than 300,000 troops stationed in northern Yunnan, and the Song family
The losses were heavy, I wonder what the situation is like?”
Li Xiaomo's expression darkened: "Xiao Mo has been staying in Yinfeng Castle recently and has never been there, so he is not familiar with the specific situation. However, it should be a fact that the army is approaching. My father and second uncle led fifteen
Ten thousand elite troops are personally stationed in Hezhou to prevent any unexpected events. Moreover, there is even worse news."
Tianyi was startled, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, can you please explain in more detail?"
"Pu Zhicheng took a small boat carrying all the reeds and went down the river. At this time, there happened to be a strong southwesterly wind. The Baidi City water village of the Song family and our Qinchuan naval camp were turned into a sea of fire. The navy and the entire army were wiped out."
"What?" Tianyi asked in surprise, but fortunately, it has not exceeded her psychological bottom line. The Song family navy was basically crippled in the first battle with the Holy Sect of Paradise, and the later water stronghold was only rebuilt. Moreover, the Song family navy
The navy has never been taken seriously, so its combat effectiveness is almost negligible.
Tianyi felt a little regretful in his heart. The Song family's geographical location was so advantageous. If they built a powerful navy and sailed down the river, the entire coast of the river would be within its attack range.
The combat effectiveness of the Qinchuan Li family navy is quite strong. Li Fengcheng is also a good water warrior. But I didn't expect that the Qinchuan navy had fought against the Northeastern Allied Forces, the Bliss Holy Cult, and the Eastern Japanese Dynasty. Big winds and waves had come, but now it has
Got stuck here.
Fu Ruoshui suddenly laughed at the side and said: "Li Xiaomo, since the south of Qinchuan is so critical, why do you still station your 100,000 troops in Ezhou? The Holy Sect of Paradise has the imperial court to help you block it, and our main army is still there.
In the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, what is the significance of your army stationed here?"
This little girl really didn't have any virtue in her words. Li Xiaomo's face turned slightly red and he defended: "Well, it's mainly to guard against the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss. The Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss gathered an army of 200,000 to march eastward. The imperial court's
The Eastern Legion has retreated to the boundary of Tiandu Holy Capital, and the Suzaku Legion is on its way north again. The Yuzhou Road has become empty again. If the Holy Sect of Paradise crosses the Yuzhou Road and directly attacks our Qinchuan, I am afraid that the tragedy of that year will be staged. My father is worried about this.
, so we specially stationed 100,000 troops again."
Fu Ruoshui did not give Li Xiaomo face, but said with a smile: "So that's it, don't you also have 50,000 troops stationed in Kangzhou?"
Li Xiaomo had no choice but to hold on and said: "The leader of the Holy Sect of Paradise this time is Zhu Zhao, the leader of the four famous generals of Paradise. This man is really good at using troops, so we don't dare to be careless."
"Don't you dare to be careless? Then you, the prince, are still in the mood to come to our Hetao for sightseeing?" Fu Ruoshui muttered.
Seeing Tianyi and others looking like they were smiling but not smiling, Li Xiaomo also gave up and said honestly: "Everyone, Li has always regarded Hetao as his best friend, and you don't think so.
I will deny it. However, after all, I, Li Xiaomo, am just the prince of Qinchuan, and there are many things that I can't do anything about. Hetao is strong, and it is normal for the elders in the family to have some ideas."
God smiled slightly, and what Li Xiaomo said was true. Although Li Xiaomo may have ulterior motives, he has indeed been Hetao's best friend over the years. There are not many friends in Hetao, so it should be said that he can be regarded as a friend by Hetao.
Not many. However, Li Xiaomo from Qinchuan, Chu Lianfeng from Mingjian Villa, Ruoyu Hanmei from Yanyu Ninghua Palace, Master Tianfengyu from Yaochi Jade Palace and Jiao Zhongxin from Shenzhou Martial Alliance can all be considered as friends of Hetao.
Fu Ruoshui was able to get Li Xiaomo to say these words today, which can be considered a good gain.
Li Xiaomo continued: "Your Highness, Xiao Mo came here this time to explain something to you. I, Qinchuan, have no intention of becoming an enemy of Hetao. My father may still have the ambition to dominate the world, but my father
Old man, Qinchuan will be mine sooner or later. I, Li Xiaomo, have no ambitions. I just want to guard Qinchuan and live a peaceful life. If there is an invasion by foreign enemies or rebellion by internal thieves, Xiao Mo will never stand idly by."
"The prince has such a good idea, and we are deeply comforted. Prince, don't worry, we in Hetao will never forget our friends." Tianyi nodded. Li Xiaomo's meaning was very clear. The Qinchuan Li family may still have some ideas now.
However, he has no ambition to dominate the world. Whether he is unwilling or unable, at least he has expressed his attitude. However, if there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, Li Xiaomo will definitely resist to the death. Of course, if he can be allowed to guard Qinchuan Road
, then as for what the Loop will be like, it is not a question he has considered.
Li Xiaomo laughed: "Xiao Mo is honored to be a friend of Hetao."
After a pause, he opened his mouth again and said: "I heard what Princess Ruoshui said. She talks about us in the Loop. Could it be that the princess is planning to marry into the Loop?"
Fu Ruoshui was famous for his sharp tongue in Hetao, and when Li Xiaomo smiled like that, he immediately lost his temper. However, the eldest princess's toughness was well-known in Hetao. She raised her eyebrows and looked fierce.
He said to Li Xiaomo: "What does this have to do with you? Anyway, even if I get married, I won't marry you! Look, the dignified eldest son of the Li family in Qinchuan, not to mention oily and powdery, looks like a playboy all day long.
It’s so disgusting to look at.”
Li Xiaomo shrugged his head and stopped talking. Tianyi and others looked at each other in silence. They heard Fu Ruoshui continue: "As the prince of Qinchuan, the country is in crisis, and I don't want to serve the country and relieve the people's worries.
Idle and idle, are you worthy of China and the people of the world..."
The straight-line distance from Yanzhou on the Beiyuan Road to Chaizhou on the Bloody Plateau is two thousand miles. Although the Hetao has rebuilt and expanded the previous official road, even the most mobile light cavalry would not need seven days to cross such a distance.
Don't even think about it. However, Luo Shangdan rode the most sophisticated war horse on the Bloody Plateau, and he grew up on a horse. Because he was worried about missing the important event of Xue Qingcheng, he did not dare to stop at all along the way. Relying on the complete Loop
At the inn, he actually arrived in Chaizhou in just over four days without changing horses.
Chaizhou Huanglong Palace is the religious and political center of the Scarlet Clan. Since the Luoxe Dynasty split from the Scarlet Plateau, the religious center of the Scarlet Clan on Qingning Road has moved from Luoxe City to Chaizhou Huanglong Palace. This is also the earliest place of the Yellow Sect.
The place of origin holds a lofty status in the hearts of the people of the Blood Clan.
As the head of the four elders of the Scarlet Plateau and Xue Qingcheng's mentor, Lingxian has been acting as the clan leader during Xue Qingcheng's absence. As the Huanglong Palace is the religious and political center of the Scarlet Clan, she naturally has a long-term
Stay here.
"Elder, the commander of Luoshang Danwei, the leader of the clan leader's personal soldiers, sent a secret letter from the clan leader with an eight-hundred-mile speed ride, saying that this matter is related to the survival of Hetao. Please take a look at it!" a soldier said outside the door.
Lingxian raised her head, her face a little solemn, but more of a puzzlement. If someone said that the lady in front of her was nearly seventy years old, I am afraid no one would believe it. Just looking at her appearance, she would be four at most.
She is about ten years old. But only by looking at her weathered eyes can one feel the precipitation of time on this noble lady.
If it was really a matter of life and death in Hetao, Qingcheng should have sent this confidential letter to Chu Xiangcheng in Hetao. How did it get sent to him? You know, Chu Xiangcheng is a real man who matures with age.
, when it comes to thinking and strategy, there is no comparison between me and him.
However, Lingxian still opened his mouth and asked: "Where is Luo Shangdan?"
"Commander Luo just arrived outside the palace gate and passed out after delivering the secret letter to General Bodong."
Lingxian waved, and the soldiers quickly handed over the secret letter with both hands, and then respectfully retreated outside the door.
Lingxian hurriedly swept away the secret letter, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was so excited that even his hands holding the secret letter were trembling. The soldier retreated outside the door, his head lowered, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.
Lingxian glanced upward as much as possible, only to find that His Highness the Elder's hands were trembling. He suddenly felt panic in his heart. The Elder had always been calm, but now he was so excited. Could something big really happen?
"Tu Ge, please go and invite Elders Shan Heqi and Si Yu Lianjie to come over immediately, saying that I have something to ask you." While he was thinking wildly, the soldier Tu Ge suddenly heard Lingxian shout.
"Yes!" Tuge responded quickly, but the panic in his heart became even worse. He actually wanted to invite the two elders. What big thing happened?
Shan Heqi and Si Yulianjie heard Lingxian's invitation and hurried over. Although Lingxian was the head of the four elders, she was not arrogant. If it was not a big deal, she would take the initiative to look for them.
.Now that the two of them are summoning together, it is obvious that there is indeed something important.
"Senior Sister, what happened, why are you so anxious?" Shan Heqi asked as soon as he walked in the door. Although the four elders did not pass down their skills from the same master, they were treated as brothers internally. Shan Heqi was a straightforward person.
, the most courageous person, so he opened his mouth and shouted as soon as he entered the door.
Lingxian first motioned the two of them to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal, but I have to go out for a trip recently, which will take as little as two months and as much as a year. During this period, I hope that you two
We can work together to manage the territory of my bloody clan."
Si Yu Lianjie frowned, causing the wrinkles on his forehead to deepen: "Senior Sister, what on earth is going on that requires you to take action personally?"
Lingxian hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "Ji Tianji is critically ill, and I'm afraid there won't be much time left. Yue Tengkong will most likely return to Tianji Valley. I have already found out the specific location of Tianji Valley, so I am going to go there myself.
Go check it out.”
She has been friends with both of them for decades, and they know a lot about her and Yue Tengkong's affairs, so there is no need to hide it.
Shan Heqi grinned, and Si Yu Lianjie's eyebrows furrowed even more, but after thinking for a moment, he still opened his mouth and said, "Senior sister, just go ahead. Third junior brother and I are here, so there will be no problem."
To be honest, the current situation on the Bloody Plateau is a bit complicated. The Luosu Dynasty in the south has concentrated 100,000 troops in the northwest of the country. Although the troops are directed towards Yingzhou on the southern Yunnan Road, who knows if their purpose is to go north? If so.
In the past, the Bloody Plateau was not afraid of the Luoxue Dynasty at all. Among the entire Luoxue Dynasty, the only capable general was their general Tengmu Shang, but his leadership ability was only as good as that of Shan Heqi.
.However, now that the main army is fighting outside, and the Sashan Dynasty to the west is eyeing him, Si Yu Lianjie does not dare to be careless.
However, Lingxian not only has a high prestige in the Scarlet Clan, but is also kind to herself and others. I think she has been waiting for decades, and now she finally has news about the heroic layman. If she is not allowed to go...
If she does, she will regret it for the rest of her life.
Lingxian said in a deep voice: "I asked you two to come here just to talk about the arrangements after I leave. Third Junior Brother, I will hurt a hundred thousand troops and hoard the southern front. Although there is no obvious direction now, I am just on guard against others."
It is necessary that you go and guard this place yourself and command the 80,000 soldiers here."
The remaining troops of the Scarlet Clan are no more than 150,000, but fortunately there is the Nianqing Mountains to the west, which is difficult for birds to cross, and the Sashan Dynasty is firmly blocked. Otherwise, the Scarlet Clan's troops will definitely be stretched thin.
"Second Junior Brother, you lead 70,000 soldiers to guard Chaizhou. If Luo Xiu really dares to go north, you will serve as Third Junior Brother's reserve force. But remember, if something cannot be done, withdraw north immediately without any hesitation."
Si Yu Lianjie and Shan Heqi nodded in agreement.
Lingxian thought for a while and felt that there was no loophole, and then said: "At any time, you should not doubt the ability of the Hetao. No matter what the situation is, you must unconditionally believe in the Hetao. We and the Hetao are already on the same line.
, no one can run away. In case of emergency, you have the right to recruit troops on the spot."
After explaining these things, Lingxian hurriedly led her thousand soldiers to leave the Bloody Plateau. Although she was a little worried about the Bloody Plateau, she was even more worried about Yue Tengkong. Besides, Yu Lianjie and Shan Heqi were there.
, as long as the Bloody Plateau doesn’t undergo earth-shaking changes, there won’t be much of a problem.
After Lingxian left, Shan Heqi said: "Senior brother, senior sister is already a lot of people, how can she still be so hot-tempered? Look, she actually brought a thousand of her carefully trained soldiers with her.
Come on, is she looking for someone or kidnapping for blackmail?"
Si Yu Lianjie rolled her eyes at him: "Senior Sister has been holding back for decades, so it's normal to be impulsive. Besides, when Senior Sister trained this team of soldiers, her purpose was to have a fight with Yue Tengkong.
"
Shan Heqi touched his thick beard and said with a smile: "Senior brother, do you think senior sister and these thousand soldiers can really trap the heroic layman?"
Si Yu Lianjie hesitated for a moment: "If you give senior sister enough preparation time, you should have this opportunity. After all, the combat effectiveness of these thousand cavalry is far more powerful than the ordinary soldiers of my bloody clan. Hey, it still depends on senior sister's luck.
