"Ahem … Since everyone is here, let's start."
Zhang Yifeng was the first to break the silence. "I think everyone knows that there are only two topics today. One is the name of the alliance, and the other is who should be the leader. As the lord of Lihen Heaven, I should fight for more benefits for Lihen Heaven. Even if this matter is troublesome, I have to stand up. I think everyone has their own reasons for being here. Why don't we talk about this reason and see who is more suitable to be the leader? Let me start by saying that Lihen Heaven has spent more than a thousand years to counterattack the Dragon Emperor's imperial court. In order to take more than 20 cities without any bloodshed, more than 10 generations of people have been buried in the river of time. Lihen Heaven is the initiator of the declaration. Whether it is righteousness or strength, we should take responsibility! "
Ji Hyun-woon immediately said, "If that's the case, I have to say a few words. For a long time, King Wei's territory has been a thorn in the Imperial Court's side. My uncle, the Emperor, has always wanted to take back Luojing. He has been scheming against me since I was still the Crown Prince. In recent years, the imperial court's ambition to take back the eight territories has been clear. If it wasn't for the Wei Palace and the Wei Qi Alliance, the human world would have already been the world of the Dragon Emperor. If Lihen Heaven wants to be the leader, I will be the first to disagree! According to the text of the declaration, Lord Zhang is crusading against an incompetent emperor. But what if there is a wise emperor in the world? If I ascend the throne, the world will be at peace. At that time, even if I expose myself as a woman, no one will dare to say anything! "This last sentence was said in her heart.
"Hmph, as far as I know, the Little Tyrant was very dishonorable. He only knew about it when the Dragon Riders attacked Rui 'an City. I think he was afraid of the Dragon Emperor's power." Gu Qingyou said coldly.
"Gu Qingyou, what do you mean?" Ji Hyun-woon's face changed. "When the Hall of Phoenix was destroyed, I had no idea. Do you hate me because of this?"
"Who said the Hall of Phoenix was destroyed?" Gu Qingyou's face also changed. "As long as I am here, the Hall of Phoenix will always exist! You want to erase the Hall of Phoenix with one sentence? "
"I told you it would be troublesome!" Seeing that the two girls were about to quarrel, Zhang Yifeng said with a headache, "Everyone here is an ally, so please discuss this peacefully and don't hurt the harmony. Young Hall Master Gu, why don't you introduce yourself to us? If you don't do well, we'll use a vote to decide. The one with the most votes wins. "
Gu Qingyou said, "Phoenix Hall can choose not to be the leader, but no one can control the will of Phoenix Hall!" She was like a tiger cub that suddenly faced the dangerous jungle alone, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws at the slightest sign of trouble.
Zhang Yifeng smiled bitterly and said, "No need for Young Hall Master to say, this is a matter of course. The core tenet of the alliance was that each party should act independently. After conquering Dragon Emperor, no matter how many cities they occupied, they should not raise any objection. If possible, they should cede as much as possible. After the war, they would mind their own business. Whoever violated the alliance first would be attacked by other forces. I've already gotten people to draft all of this in the alliance document. Come, as long as peace is the priority, everyone can speak to their heart's content. "
Lianhai Qingshan said, "The Lianhai Manor adheres to the philosophy of 'love with impartiality, not aggression', and will never initiate a war. However, my father died in the beast tide, and the Lianhai Manor has suffered a series of upheavals. Now, it's near decline. For the sake of inheritance, the leader's position cannot be passed on. If the Linked Sea Manor leads this battle, everyone present will receive a third of the Linked Sea Bank's profits. Furthermore, the money will be deposited in everyone's name without any interest. "This was a blatant attempt to entice them.
Zhang Yifeng smiled and said, "With the strength of your manor, you do have the confidence to say this."
"Absurd." A faint refutation came from the private room where the Changzhou Manor was.
"I'd like to hear your opinion," Lianhai Qingshan said.
The woman said, "The situation described in the declaration is true. The Dragon Emperor's court has disregarded the lives of the common people many times. The allied army is here to suppress the incapable ruler. If it's for mere worldly possessions, Changzhou will not participate. The Lianhai Manor is only running a bank. Leave the war to others. "
Lianhai Qingshan smiled fiercely and said, "Is that so? The Changzhou King has just ascended the throne and is showing off his abilities. Since you want to learn how to fight a war, why don't you let me ask you a question? If you answer it well, it won't be too late to teach others a lesson! "
The woman said, "I'm listening."
Lianhai Qingshan said, "The two armies met in the mountains. Their armaments are similar. One army has forty thousand, five hundred cavalry, and the rest are infantry. The other army only has five thousand and three thousand cavalry. How can the latter win?"
The woman said, "It's very simple."
Lianhai Qingshan said, "I'm listening."
The woman said, "It's fine if there are cultivators."
Lianhai Qingshan said, "What if there aren't?"
The woman said, "The existence of cultivators is an established fact. Why do you want to erase them as a prerequisite?"
Lianhai Qingshan was speechless for a moment.
The woman continued, "The current situation is like this. If there aren't cultivators in the Dragon Emperor's Territory, we would probably still be attacking the city. Because there are no natural barriers that can trap cultivators, as a leader, the first thing to do is to define the nature of the war. Secondly, you need to know the army like the back of your hand. Only then can you arrange the troops properly. The greatest taboo for a commander is unrealistic. Lord Lianhai, you must recognize reality. "
Lianhai Qingshan thought for a moment and sighed, "You are right."
Ji Hyun-woon thought, why does this woman speak like Sister Zhi Yuan? Even her voice is similar. She stood up and wanted to go over to see the other's true appearance. But at this moment, the water in the lotus pond shook. A huge bubble surged upwards with a gurgle. Something broke through the wooden planks on the ground of the waterside pavilion with a bang, and then exploded into a cloud of black smoke.
The waterside pavilion was full of experts. They didn't expect there to be an ambush hidden in the water. Their first thought was that Zhang Yifeng was behind it, but they quickly overruled it. If Li Hen Heaven wanted to plot against them with the Dragon Emperor's Imperial Court, there was no need to go through so much trouble. If Li Hen Heaven wanted to kill the donkey after it was no longer useful, the Dragon Emperor's Imperial Court's strength was still intact. Unless Zhang Yifeng had lost his mind, he wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
"Be careful, this smoke is strange!" Yan Li finally awoke from his inescapable state. As he warned everyone, he sent out his spiritual sense in an attempt to find the hidden enemy. But as the black smoke spread and enveloped the entire waterside pavilion, he realized that his spiritual sense felt like it was immersed in the sea. All he could see was darkness, and his five senses were completely stripped away. He couldn't even hear the voices of the two maids at his side.
"What is this? Divine ability? Treasure artifact? "
Yan Li's thoughts raced. He had never heard of or seen anything in this world that could use smoke to cut off one's spiritual sense and five senses. Suddenly, his neck tightened as if something had wrapped around it. He subconsciously touched it, and it seemed to be a collar. His heart instantly sank, because he suddenly couldn't sense his Origin Sea. A cultivator's Origin Sea was their life. As long as they were not dead, there was no way they couldn't sense it. There was only one explanation for this inconceivable phenomenon: the collar around his neck was the 'God Binding Ring', and it was a strengthened version forged in secret by Ban Gu. It could even bind the Primordial Spirit of the Divine Domain.
Ding!
There was the faint sound of a bell, and the dark smoke was quickly sucked away.
Yan Li's five senses recovered, and he realized that Leng Qing had used a treasure artifact. All was quiet. The two maids looked at each other with pale faces, and then looked at Yan Li, not knowing what to do.
"I didn't know that the Dust Removing Bell really worked. I should have used it earlier!" Leng Qing said with self-blame, and then asked with concern, "Master Yan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." After a simple attempt, Yan Li confirmed that he couldn't undo the God Binding Ring with his attainments in talismans, so he lifted the curtain and went out. The others also came out, and when they saw the God Binding Ring around the necks of the others, they all had ugly expressions.
"Quickly send a smoke message!"
"We can't send it in such a storm, send someone!"
"It's too late!" Zhang Yifeng's expression was ugly to the extreme, because he could already smell the blood. Most likely, the surrounding disciples of Lihen Heaven had already been killed by the enemy.
"Aren't you a spiritual body? How could you fall for it? "Ji Hyun-woon shouted.
"King of Changzhou!" Yan Li looked left and right, but there was only one person missing. He had to lock his eyes on the only private room opposite of him that had not lifted the curtain. Without hesitation, he rushed over to take a look, but there was no one in the private room. When he looked carefully, he saw that the black bamboo curtain was cut by a sharp weapon, and he quickly went over, and saw a familiar figure being chased by two maids with swords.
"Paper Kite!" At this moment, all the blood rushed to his brain, and he suddenly took a step forward. Because he had lost his cultivation, he couldn't adapt to running with only the strength of his body. He only felt that his legs were as heavy as lead, and when he saw the two maids suddenly speeding up, he roared and rushed forward a few steps, and then he threw himself forward, hugging the familiar figure, and fell to the ground. His back was immediately hit by two swords, and blood was flowing out of two wounds, but he didn't care at all. He looked at the woman below him, and was stunned.
"Who are you?"
It was a strange face, without any expression, and it seemed that she didn't want to answer Yan Li's question. Suddenly, there was an urgent change in her eyes, and before Yan Li could understand, her hands pierced through the two ribs of Yan Li without hesitation, and the sound of two sharp blades piercing into the flesh was extremely ear-piercing.
"You are Paper Kite!" Yan Li's heart was on fire again, and he didn't need to look back to know that the two maids' swords were stabbing him, and the woman below him used her hands as a shield, and blocked the sword for him. At this moment, he was absolutely sure of the identity of the woman below him, and at the same time, he slapped the ground hard, and at the same time, he grabbed a drop of water from the void, and suddenly performed a turning back cut.
The water drop madly absorbed the moisture in the air, and turned into the shape of a sword, the blade was bitingly cold, and two heads flew out.
"Your swordsmanship is good." The woman, or the King of Changzhou, stood up, applied medicine to the wound on her palm, and then stared at Yan Li, "I don't want to lie to you, I really am. But just now, even if it was another person who risked his life to save me, I would also …" Before she finished her words, she was hugged by Yan Li.
