"Let's talk about it later." Huang Shouyi suddenly rolled up the dismissal certificate and put it away.
Tang Tianqi was startled. He had put in a lot of effort and paid a great price to get the mission of escorting the dismissal certificate. As long as Yan Li was removed from his position, he would be able to take over as the commander of the reinforcements and defeat the Demon Race. This would be a great contribution, and his reputation would grow rapidly like a rolling snowball. However, all of this came to an abrupt end. At the most unlikely point, an accident happened.
Who would have thought that Huang Shouyi would protect Yan Li?
"Elder Huang, what do you mean?" When Tang Tianqi came back to his senses, he was instantly enraged.
Huang Shouyi said rudely, "What do I mean? Did I not make myself clear? The latest intelligence shows that the demons have gathered a great army fifty miles away and are ready to attack at any time. The art of war is your introductory lesson. Don't you know that changing generals is a taboo? "
Tang Tianqi suppressed his anger and said, "You are the Great Elder, but you don't have the authority to delay the execution of the dismissal certificate. This is the will of several Confucian orthodoxy leaders! Also, you know that the demon army will attack at any time. If you don't dismiss Yan Li now and let the reinforcements enter the city, do you think these defeated soldiers can defend Long Lie City? "
When he said this, everyone in the small hall was displeased. Even those who didn't stand on Yan Li's side changed their stance and said with a sneer, "I have the same question as the Commander. Why can't the reinforcements enter the city when the Commander is still in place?"
Yan Li saw that the time was right and said with a smile, "Everyone, it must have been hard for you to come from afar. We are about to discuss military affairs, so it's better to leave. — Someone, bring the guest away to rest. "
A few disciples of the Court Of Sword rushed in and stared at Tang Tianqi unkindly.
Tang Tianqi looked coldly at Yan Li and then turned to Huang Shouyi, suppressing the boiling emotions in his chest. "Elder Huang, say something. When will this dismissal certificate be read?"
Huang Shouyi also glanced at Yan Li and said lightly, "When Long Lie falls."
"Good, good, good!" Tang Tianqi was so angry that he laughed, "I want to see, how are you going to defend against the attack of the Demon Clan!" With that said, he flicked his sleeves and left.
Yan Li nodded slightly to Huang Shouyi. "Many thanks."
Huang Shouyi said, "Little Yan, we've already staked Fierce Dragon City for you. Just what are you planning? Tell us now!"
Yan Li smiled and said, "When the time is right, everyone will naturally understand. There is no need to dictate."
Huang Shouyi's face darkened. "You're still hiding it at this point? Forget it, you are the commander, I only look at the results! The Devil Race is about to attack. You are the commander, so you have to come up with a plan, right? "
Yan Li said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have a guest coming soon. He might be afraid of strangers, so he won't show himself if he sees everyone here. "
Huang Shouyi was furious. He had protected him, but he didn't even have the right to listen in on the 'important matter'. He gloomily said, "You'd better be confident." Then he stormed off.
Seeing that Grand Elder had left, everyone also left.
Yuan Qianquan stared at the Qian Kun ring on the table beside Yan Li. He was somewhat unwilling and regretted not looking at the contents inside. Otherwise, he would at least know the reason for the change in Grand Elder and the others.
"Elder Yuan, is there anything else?" Yan Li asked.
"No, nothing …" Yuan Qianquan came back to his senses and answered absent-mindedly. He walked to the door and even closed it on the way. He stood outside the door and looked. The sky was getting dark, and the light from the setting sun was already very weak. He first pretended to leave, and secretly made a hand seal halfway to hide his breath and figure. Then he turned back and jumped onto the roof, carefully lifting a tile to look down.
The so-called 'guest' seemed to have not arrived yet. Yan Li sat at his original position and closed his eyes to rest.
I want to see who your so-called guest is!
Yuan Qianquan secretly made up his mind to find out what kind of tricks Yan Li was playing, so he calmed down and waited. About an hour later, the sky was completely dark.
Suddenly, he heard a voice saying "coming". He immediately pulled himself together and spread out his divine sense. Sure enough, he sensed a black shadow landing on the roof. Judging from the figure, it seemed to be a woman. He found that the woman's eyes were very sharp. She glanced at his hiding place a few times. Although he was not discovered, he was still frightened.
The woman jumped down and flashed into the small hall from the window. She knelt on one knee in front of Yan Li and handed him a Qian Kun Bag without saying anything.
Yuan Qianquan saw that there was nothing special about the Qian Kun Bag, so he carefully looked at the woman. Suddenly, he was shocked. "Peerless Assassin! Did all the people from Swallow Dock come? "
The woman suddenly said, "Young Master, why don't you let Swallow Dock come to help you?"
Yan Li searched the Qian Kun Bag and shook his head. "This is the matter of the Nine Schools of Confucian orthodoxy. There is no reason to let Swallow Dock get involved. Besides, the human world is not peaceful. If you all come, Dragon Order City will change hands in the blink of an eye. Alright, you can go back after you help me with one more thing. "
The woman said, "Madam asked me to stay and protect your safety."
Yan Li said, "Do you listen to me or Madam?"
"I listen to you," the woman said.
"That's it." Yan Li turned his hand and took out a ball-shaped relic the size of a longan and passed it to the woman.
The woman understood and went up to the roof again. She squatted down near Yuan Qianquan and lifted a tile. She aimed the ball-shaped relic at where Yan Li was.
Yuan Qianquan was confused. He did not know what Yan Li wanted to do. He was nervous and did not dare to move. He was afraid that the woman would find him. If the news of an elder of the Dao Court peeping at a disciple of the Court Of Sword got out, he would be humiliated.
The next few hours slipped away in the blink of an eye. The clear glow had already dimmed from its brightness. The night breeze that blew from afar carried a familiar stench. Yuan Qianquan knew that it was the unique body odor of the Devil Cultivator and the Zombie Ghost. When he smelled it, he knew that the Demon Army had finally attacked. The smell that he once hated so much smelled so sweet now.
He watched Yan Li's expression gradually turn cold, his fingers tapping the tea table from time to time, and his mood became very happy. It seemed like the so-called guest did not appear as he expected. His plan had failed.
Soon, a scout came to the door of the small hall. He said with a deep voice, "Reporting to the commander, the Demon Army has gathered. They are already 20 miles away."
"I understand."
Got it, "Yan Li said.
Yuan Qianquan looked at Yan Li carefully. He hoped to see annoyance or panic on his face. However, there was neither. He suddenly noticed that the scout did not leave. He was still standing in front of the small hall.
"What else is there? Report it to me. "Yan Li noticed it too.
However, the spy pushed the door open and slowly walked in. When Yuan Qianquan saw the spy's face, a storm surged in his heart. "Why is it him? Is Yan Li really a spy of the Demon Race? "
"You are a Demon?" Yan Li was somewhat surprised.
Yuan Qianquan was confused. Looking at Yan Li's expression, it seemed like he did not recognize the newcomer.
The newcomer laughed heartily. "Yan Shifang, Hero Yan, this should be our first official meeting. I am Ye Qiuchi. "
Yan Li narrowed his eyes. "It's actually you. You dare to come to my place? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to leave? "
Ye Qiuchi smiled. "The Demon Army is already bearing down. Does Hero Yan not wish to have another friend?"
Yan Li said, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is naturally true. But why should I believe you?" Ye Qiuchi said, "If I hadn't schemed, how could you have had the chance to spend the night with my senior apprentice-sister? It is precisely because of this that I have already formed an irreconcilable enmity with senior apprentice-sister. If she gains the upper hand, she will definitely kill me. Let's put it this way. It isn't just the Demon Race that wants to deal with you. If you don't win over an ally, Fierce Dragon City will definitely be lost. You won't be able to be the commander for long. "
Yan Li said, "Oh? Then what does Brother Ye have to teach me? "He controlled a chair to move behind Ye Qiuchi, expressing his sincerity.
Ye Qiuchi did not stand on ceremony. He sat down naturally. "In the years that senior apprentice-sister wasn't here, I secretly cultivated many trusted aides. Now, more than half of those fighting with her are my people. Not only can I easily obtain their battle plans, I can also easily help you win at a crucial moment. "
Yan Li said, "Brother Ye should know about the bet."
Ye Qiuchi smiled. "Of course. The entire Chiyou Realm belongs to you."
Yan Li also smiled. "That's easy. But, how can I not feel at ease receiving such a great benefit for no reason? What does Brother Ye need me to do? "
Ye Qiuchi was still smiling, but his eyes had suddenly lost all warmth. He said lightly, "I want Li Hongzhuang to not return to the Demon World alive."
Yan Li said, "You hate her this much?"
"Hate her?" Ye Qiuchi shook his head and murmured, "No, I don't hate her. On the contrary, I respect and adore her. But there is only one Demon Lord. I carry the hopes of the entire race on my shoulders. I am never allowed to fail. "
Yan Li said, "What should I do exactly?"
Ye Qiuchi said, "I will send someone to inform you of the specifics." As he spoke, he tossed an envelope to Yan Li. "To show my sincerity, this is Li Hongzhuang's attack plan for tonight. You can send troops to break through them one by one. My people will also cooperate with you …" As he finished speaking, he had already disappeared.
Yan Li read the contents of the envelope and laughed. He shouted, "Guards!"
The guards outside the courtyard heard and hurriedly ran in.
"Pass on my order. Open the city gates. All troops, attack!"
Not even fifteen minutes after the order was given, the well-prepared troops were ready to attack.
On the city gate tower, Huang Shouyi, Tao Qian, and the others gathered around Yan Li, all of them still suspicious.
Yan Li didn't give them a chance to ask questions. Instead, he gave out orders one by one. Then it was Yuan Qianquan's turn. He didn't hurry to give out orders. Instead, he smiled and said, "Elder Yuan, have you ever desired victory?"
Yuan Qianquan couldn't maintain his calm after witnessing such a scene. After all, this was ironclad evidence of "colluding" with the demons. But the ones who benefited were the Nine Elites. He didn't know whether he should say it or not, so his thoughts were in a mess. When Yan Li suddenly asked him this question, he couldn't quite react. "Ah? What? "
Yan Li pointed at the people on the city gate tower. Whether they were cultivators or ordinary people, after learning that the allied army was going to fight the demons, they were all very enthusiastic and hot-blooded. This could be seen from their expressions. "It's better for the demons to return to the Demon World. What does Elder Yuan think?"
Yuan Qianquan had already reacted. He finally understood that from the very beginning, Yan Li had known that he was peeping, so he had the Peerless Assassin use a Shadow-Retaining Ball to record his meeting with Ye Qiuchi to prevent him from slandering him. On one hand, he was somewhat angry at Yan Li's petty heart, but on the other hand, he was grateful that he hadn't exposed his peeping. For some reason, his mood was very conflicted.
Beating back the demons, no matter what the process was, wasn't this a good thing? The blood in his body seemed to surge rapidly, causing his face to glow red. At this time, his incisor that had just been replaced seemed to ache faintly, but this pain was buried by his boiling hot blood.
"It's like this."
