On the day Ji Xin's plan to hide the world was discovered, Xu Lei finally waited for the news that fell from the sky, and his frown, his full-term brow finally stretched out.
The special guards who sneaked into the Nuel Empire came to report secretly. After reading it, Xu Lei looked excited and quickly ordered Ji Xin to gather the entire army to prepare for the war.
This time, Xu Lei was no longer anxious. The scale of time had quietly tilted towards Xu Lei with the news that it fell from the sky. Not only did it not have to worry about preparing for the tragic battle to defend the city every day, but instead prepared the momentum to point the sword at Yas, Xu Lei would take the initiative to attack!
The Yas Empire seemed to be very "cooperating" with Xu Lei. While Yinluo Town was ready to attack, the Yas Empire army, which had been gathering for more than a month, quickly evacuated the border city, with a panic expression and even abandoned some supplies in order to move forward lightly to speed up the marching speed.
The news that Xu Lei had been waiting for was that the shaking string that was tense between the Nuel Empire and the Yas Empire finally broke. According to the report of the Special Guard, the royal family of the Nuel Empire was furious and had ordered the gathering of 200,000 troops at the border with the Yas Empire. This was a force of the air power for the Nuel Empire. No wonder the Yas Empire was so nervous.
Xu Lei was waiting for this opportunity. The conflict between the Yas Empire and the Nuel Empire was not a day or two. The battles and wars were fought intermittently for more than ten years, and they finally remained silent for several years, but it did not mean that the conflict between the two sides was resolved.
Not long ago, the princes of the two empires had conflicts due to some disputes and even fought several injustice small battles, which made the relationship between the two countries, which had been barely peaceful for several years, tense again. Although it was not at the point of being about to break, only one string was left behind. As long as this string was broken, the two countries would launch a new round of endless mutual conquests again.
The special guards under Xu Lei were particularly envious of the members who were sent to the Nuel Empire, because every special guard member who went to the Nuel Empire had a privilege that was enough to make people jealous. As long as you ask for money, you don’t need to ask anyone. Yinluocheng Money Deposit will allocate unconditionally, and you will give as much as you want, and how many times you want.
Xu Lei also gave these Yinluo City Special Guards who sneaked into the Nuel Empire a death order that made people jealous of seven orifices. Within three months, he must become a more famous local idle and idle person, otherwise he will be blamed for one hundred military sticks!
The so-called idle and idle people are nothing more than spending a lot of money, buying whatever is expensive, eating what is expensive, and going wherever they spend money like flowing water. If anyone dares to collect less copper coins, he will turn against others.
So, with the support of a lot of money, each special guard member who sneaked into the Nuel Empire completed his mission ahead of schedule and became a famous local playboy. Several geniuses in this field actually got close to the royal children of the Nuel Empire. They drank and ate meat to tease good women, flying eagles and lackeys, and made the prince of the Nuel Empire so happy that he could not stop and naturally took him by his side as a follower all day long.
During a trip, he "met" the prince of the Yas Empire. Because a brothel courtesan was fighting and fighting with the "followers" in the air, the two sides fought. The fight between the princes was not an ordinary street gang fight, but a real sword and a place to meet in time and place. Although it was not a big war, it could definitely be called a miniature war.
In a "group fight" between the two sides not long ago, the little prince of the Nuel Empire, who was regarded as a pearl in his hand by the King of Nuel Empire, could not withstand the instigation of several "fellows" Shican Lianhua. He actually slapped into the battle formation with a Park knife. The prince who had been pampered for a long time was self-evident and rushed into the battle formation. The ending was self-evident. He was knocked off after a few rounds. When the panicked people snatched him out of the chaos, he was dead.
The Yas Empire gave an explanation at the first time, insisting that he did not kill that day. He fell off the horse after being frightened by his own riding mount. No one came forward to hurt him at all. In fact, the explanation given by the Yas Empire could withstand scrutiny. No matter how absurd or playful the prince was, he would not be stupid enough to kill the prince of the Nuel Empire. However, the King of the Nuel Empire was completely furious in the tragic scene of the prince who witnessed the whole process that day. He immediately ordered the gathering of troops to trample the entire Yas Empire to avenge his beloved prince!
After hearing Xu Lei’s account of the whole story, Ji Xin felt a chill on his back for no reason. He looked at the young man who looked calm in front of him, and felt a chill.
Regarding the wisdom of the ten Xu Leis who were bound together, he was probably not the opponent of half of the war gods on land. However, in terms of playing with power conspiracy, Ji Xin felt a cold wind at the base of his neck. He was chilling at this ruthless plan that caused blood to flow into a river soon after without a soldier. Only then did he realize that he had known too little about the young man in front of him before. God knew that there were still many such ruthless plans hidden behind those eternal calm eyes.
What made Ji Xinxin most scared was that he firmly believed that there must be a pair of or several pairs or dozens of double-double guards staring at him inseparable. It might be his own groom, a halberd outside the tent, or an inconspicuous servant.
Chief Ji Xin had all the troops in Yin Luocheng, but he only knew a little about the special guards. No one except Xu Lei knew who was the special guards and how many people there were.
The use of troops to fight against gods and ghosts is unpredictable. This is the way to be a general. Playing with power and tricks is hard to see. This is the way to the emperor. There is the most essential difference between the two.
Ling Qingyi was seriously dealing with a pile of government affairs. Her pair of Qiushui eyes did not feel tired at all, but her slightly flushed eyes meant that she had been waiting for this pile of government affairs for the whole day.
As the sky gradually darkened, she sorted out the tabletop, closed the tax account for the month, gently stroked her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and went to the kitchen to make several fresh ingredients into exquisite and delicious dishes. No matter what she did, she was quiet and serious. Even when cooking, she was cooking, and when it came to cooking, most people probably didn't think of the housewife who was fumes and stir-frying the greasy apron in the stove.
But even if she cooks, she looks like her own people, quiet and elegant. Her exquisite kitchen utensils are like a lively thing under her slender hands. The kitchen is spotlessly maintained. She originally didn't have to cook in person as her, but this is the city lord's house, but there is no servant.
The meal was served on the table, two meats, one vegetable and one soup, both color, fragrance and taste.
Xu Lei pushed the door open on time, took the hot towel prepared by Ling Qingyi, wiped his face and hands, and sat at the table to eat the delicious and exquisite meal.
No matter how busy he is, as long as Xu Leiren is in Yinluo Town, he will return home on time at this time and eat a meal made by Ling Qingyi. Even though he often takes a few bites and gets up and leaves, if it is not for a particularly emergency, he will always return to this small home on time when the sky is dim.
Xu Lei was in a particularly comfortable mood today. The news that had been falling from the sky for a long time finally made his frown finally relax, and he chatted with Ling Qingyi with great enthusiasm.
Seeing his appearance, she felt much more relaxed, but she didn't ask too much, knowing that he had his own plans.
They talk about astronomy, geography, ancient and modern history, and they talk about gossip in the city. Xu Lei occasionally tells a few harmless jokes, which makes her giggle.
But they hardly talk about government affairs at the dinner table. Outside, he was the young city lord who respected thousands of people, including Ji Xin and other powerful generals. When he returned to his small house and closed the door, he was just a big boy in his early twenties. He never concealed anything in front of her, and only showed his truest side in front of her. He was actually just a big boy, that's all.
"If you see enough, go and wash the dishes." Ling Qingyi frowned softly, putting down the bowl and chopsticks and not raising his head, but it does not mean that he had no idea about the animal in front of him who was carrying a large mouthful of food and chewing heavily while constantly glanced at his chest.
"As for order!" Xu Lei stood upright like a soldier, smiled at Ling Qingyi and cleaned up the table and went straight to the kitchen. Through the years of experience, he was no longer the coward who was so scared by Ling Qingyi's words "Have you seen enough?". To be precise, it can be said that his skin had reached a certain level, and his swords and weapons were not invaded by water and fire.
After some cleaning, Xu Lei sat next to the spotless small table he had packed, took a sip of Ling Qingyi's wild mountain flower tea, and the fragrance suddenly filled with fresh air.
If you weren't too busy, half an hour after the meal would be the time for the two to talk about major government affairs.
"When will we go to the war?" Ling Qingyi asked lightly. Although he did not interfere in military affairs, it did not mean that he did not know what happened these days.
"Three days later." Xu Lei put down the teacup and thoughtful.
"So fast?"
Xu Lei nodded, "The faster the more beneficial it is to us. It is not realistic to swallow the Yas Empire in one bite. I just want to hold on to this gap and win a few cities in one go, and beat Yas to be afraid of hurting it."
"What if the Yas Empire returns to fight back?" Only Xu Lei knew that in terms of military talent, although this woman in his family was not as good as Ji Xin, she could definitely be called a good general. She was able to arrange troops and dispatch soldiers and dispatch soldiers at all. She immediately hit the nail on the head. Although Nuel's army was approaching, the Yas Empire could not concentrate on dealing with Yinluo City, but it was not impossible to distribute 10,000 or 20,000 people to fight back to fight back.
"Then I will run away, fight again after running away, and they will run back again. If this happens, it will be like who can waste anyone, and the Nuel Empire will not spend their time." Xu Lei had already considered this and had made a countermeasure. The Nuel Empire's air-country army this time was the biggest threat to the Yas Empire, and Yinluo City was just a trouble for them. No matter how stupid the king of the Yas Empire would not give up the entire empire to relieve himself, he would concentrate on destroying Yinluo City in order to relieve himself. If this were the case, Xu Lei would have to admit that he was unlucky and pretend to have met a madman.
Ling Qingyi showed a playful smile, "Cunning."
"This is called resourcefulness. Besides, soldiers are never tired of deceitfulness." Xu Lei disagreed. Whoever acts as a gentleman on the battlefield is a fool. Whether it is despicable or dirty, as long as the goal is achieved, the winner is the winner, and if you lose, the villain is the villain is the dirty. History is always written by the winner.
"What's the point?"
"Ten Thousands!" Xu Lei's chest was full of strength.
Ling Qingyi's eyebrows couldn't help but frowned slightly. This detail was not noticed by Xu Lei, who was sipping tea with his head down, and he still talked endlessly, "I have arranged this game for a long time. I have calculated all possibilities and have made targeted countermeasures. This time, the ending I wanted is not just a few more cities, but to bring the Yas Empire to the negotiating table and take this opportunity to fight for profits. The Yas Empire will definitely agree to all my conditions at this moment. After all, compared with the destruction of the country, the conditions I have proposed are really insignificant. The king of Yas Kingdom is not a fool, and he can measure the pros and cons of it himself."
