Late at night, the cold moon hung high in the sky.
In the small courtyard, Si Kongyao was dressed in military attire. She held a silver wine pot in her left hand and a golden cup in her right. She sat alone on the railing of the small courtyard and drank alone. As the wine entered her heart, there was a hint of helplessness in her beautiful eyes. She said, "I wonder how Big Brother Yu is doing … If we really go to the Northern Region to fight, neither I nor Liu Buyi will be able to strategize. How should we fight this war …"
The cold moon did not respond.
Si Kongyao drank another cup of wine and muttered, "I don't know what Grandfather is thinking. Since the Empire is being attacked by Chen Yu's army, the Tianji Sect should also participate in the war, right? If I bring the Bai Ze Mercenaries to participate in the war and fight side by side with him, will Grandfather forgive me for leaving home for so long? "
She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, Grandfather doesn't want to care about me anyway. I'll just live my own life. I just don't know how Big Brother Yu is doing …"
A howling cold wind came from the sky. Si Kongyao seemed to feel a little cold and couldn't help but tighten her clothes. She looked at the sky with a slight frown and said, "The news should have come back by now …"
At this moment, the power of the laws in the surroundings suddenly surged. Drops of light condensed in front of Si Kongyao and finally turned into a ray of light that fell to the ground and condensed into a human figure. It was Lin Muyu. It was the Oracle's spiritual sense!
"Big Brother Yu!"
Si Kongyao was overjoyed and said with a smile, "You finally took the initiative to contact me, Yao!"
Lin Muyu looked at Si Kongyao's lovely appearance and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Yao. The war in the Shattered Cauldron Realm is endless, so I can't divide my divine power to see you. Now that things have just stabilized, I haven't received any news about the Bei Ze Mercenaries for many days. How is it?"
Si Kongyao pursed her red lips and shook her head, "It's not good. A million troops of the Celestial Empire attacked the eastern camp of the Tianji Empire. The Yanji Army was defeated and even General Zhang Cheng died in battle."
"What? Shang Qian's grandfather died in battle? "
"Yes." Si Kongyao nodded and said, "Now that the Tianji Empire has no generals to use, they are retreating step by step. Chen Yu's million troops will soon conquer the Eastcalm Province. At that time, the Tianji City will be directly under the enemy's vanguard and there will be no turning back. Yesterday, Big Sister Shang Qian and King Lan Ji came to our Demon Palm Prefecture and asked Bai Ze Mercenaries to send reinforcements to the Tianji Empire. Big Brother Yu, what do you think? I … I've already agreed. "
"There's no problem with sending troops."
Lin Muyu looked at Si Kongyao with torch-like eyes and said, "I also don't want the Tianji Empire to be destroyed so quickly. Once Chen Yu devours the Tianji Empire, with his appetite, he will immediately destroy the Blackstone Empire within three months. At that time, the Celestial Pole Continent will be unified. This emperor will want more meritorious service and will naturally attack the Shattered Cauldron Realm. For the time being, the Shattered Cauldron Realm still needs time and can't continue to participate in the war. However … Yao, do you have any conditions for agreeing to send troops to King Lanji just like that? "
"Of course there are." Si Kongyao burst into laughter and said, "I've already asked the Tianji Empire to confer me the title of Xiping Princess. Then, I'll bestow the entire Xishan Province, including Xiping City, to the Bai Ze Mercenaries as the resting place for the 180,000 troops of the Bai Ze Mercenaries. They can also continuously provide us with ordnance and provisions. What do you think, Elder Brother Yu?"
Lin Muyu smiled happily and said, "Yes, that's right. The Bai Ze Mercenaries will only be useful when they have their own cities. You have to take advantage of this heaven-sent opportunity to expand without restraint. What we want is not just the Xishan Province. Once we've defeated the army of the Celestial Empire, we'll take advantage of this opportunity to conquer the south in the name of mercenaries and plunder the land of the Blackstone Empire."
"I know, but Yao is now facing a huge problem."
"Oh? What problem? Tell me. "
"I lack a commander, a commander with both wisdom and courage like Elder Brother Yu." Si Kongyao blinked her eyes and said, "Liu Buyi and our generals have almost never experienced a real war. They only know how to talk on paper. Once a war breaks out … who will we rely on to command the overall situation? You have to know that Chen Yu has 900,000 troops and more than 300 dragon knights. If the 180,000 Bai Ze Mercenaries directly participate in the war, they'll just be throwing their lives away. "
"Oh …"
Lin Muyu muttered to herself and thought for a long time before saying, "It seems that I'll have to go to the Celestial Pole Continent for the second time. Yao, when will you leave? I'll come over after dealing with the matters in the Shattered Cauldron Realm. "
"If the Emperor of the Tianji Empire allows it, the Bai Ze Mercenaries will leave in two days and reach Xiping City in five days."
"Then wait for me at the city lord's residence in Xiping City in five days. I'll be there on time."
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Si Kongyao giggled. "I haven't seen you in a long time. I miss you."
Lin Muyu was stunned.
Si Kongyao immediately smiled knowingly and said, "I know that Elder Brother Yu already has Her Highness Qin Yin, but as your younger sister, it shouldn't be too much for Yao to miss you, right?"
Lin Muyu couldn't help but laugh. "It's not too much. I miss you too. Let's meet in five days. Alright, I have to go. I've used up a lot of my divine power and can't hold on any longer."
"Okay, Elder Brother Yu, see you in five days!"
…
After ending the conversation with the Oracle, Lin Muyu was already drenched in sweat. The distance from Lanyan City to the Devil's Palm Prefecture was more than 10,000 miles. Moreover, she had never used spiritual thoughts to communicate for such a long time. She had used up at least 30% of her divine power. Even though Lin Muyu's cultivation had reached the 53rd level of Grotto-Heaven, it was still very difficult.
"How's it going with the Bai Ze Mercenaries?" Qin Yin, who was lying quietly beside Lin Muyu, opened her Blazing Dawn Eyes a little.
"It's not a big deal. The Celestial Empire and the Tianji Empire have started a war. The Tianji Empire is no match for them, so they sent King Lan Ji to ask for help from Si Kongyao, asking for 180,000 Bai Ze Mercenaries to help. However, no one on Yao's side is good at commanding, so I might have to go to the Celestial Pole Continent."
"Ah?"
On the other side, Tang Xiaoxi, who was holding Lin Muyu's left hand tightly, was a little surprised. "You want to go to the Celestial Pole Continent?"
"Yes, Xiao Xi, your internal injuries are almost healed. I need to go there. After all, I left Si Kongyao and Liu Buyi there, so I have to be responsible for them. Moreover, the Bai Ze Mercenaries are very important to the empire. They are an important chess piece for us to counterattack the Celestial Pole Continent, which is equivalent to our advance army."
"Isn't it too dangerous?" Qin Yin blinked her eyes and said, "The people from the Celestial Empire and the Tianji Empire are not easy to deal with. Sikong Ming, Han Yuan, Longxi and the others are all Consummate God Emperors above the 90th level of Grotto-Heaven. Once Elder Brother Yu is targeted by them, I'm afraid you will be in danger. It's better … Xiao Xi and I go with you."
"If we go together, it will be more dangerous. There will be no one in Lanyan City!"
"Aren't General Feng and Ah Yan there?" Qin Yin explained, "Besides, all the major events in the country are basically decided by the Congress. Military affairs can wait for you to come back. I talked with Uncle Qin Xiao for a long time yesterday afternoon. He revealed his true feelings and doesn't want to be controlled by the feudal princes of the Congress. So even if I'm not in Lanyan City, nothing will happen. On the contrary, it's too dangerous for you to go to the Celestial Pole Continent alone. Isn't it better for me and Xiao Xi to go with you?"
Tang Xiaoxi also smiled faintly and said, "That's right. Didn't we agree that the three of us will not be separated in the future?"
"It's fine if we don't separate …"
Lin Muyu was a little helpless. "We'll leave in three days. We'll go to the Tongtian Gorge to see the potato garden planted by Lulu first. Then we'll fly to the Celestial Pole Continent to meet Si Kongyao and Liu Buyi."
"Well, that's for the best. I'll also explain the matters in the court. Shangguan Jingyue will handle the small matters for me."
"What about Tarilyn and the others?"
"They're in closed-door training and won't come out for two or three months. I'm thinking that when the time is right, I'll send them back to the Western Divine Realm. After all, that's where they belong. It's just that I can't sense Sister Hiyan's aura recently."
Qin Yin frowned and said, "I don't know what happened in the Western Divine Realm."
Lin Muyu held her shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Yin. Xi Yan is a Seraph and a Great Perfection Divine Emperor of 99 Heavens, a legendary Seraph. She will be fine. At least no one in East Heaven can kill her. Those who can kill her won't, unless it's Ruler Claude, but Claude won't. Who will cut off their own arms?"
"Yeah."
Lin Muyu's words made Qin Yin feel a bit more at ease. She raised her head and looked at Lin Muyu, saying, "Big Brother Yu, after we unify the world, we must go to the Western Divine Realm to look for Sister Hiyan. I owe her too much."
"I also owe her a favor." Lin Muyu nodded and said, "She sent you back. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."
"Yeah …"
…
Two days later, a wolf falcon landed in the county city of Demon Palm Prefecture. After a long time, King Lan Ji respectfully held an imperial edict and went to the General's Mansion. Meanwhile, Shang Qian and a group of attendants looked solemn. Seeing the imperial edict was like seeing the Martial Saint Emperor, Beiming Yuan. They had to be respectful, even if they had to pretend.
"Si Kongyao receives the imperial edict!"
King Lan Ji's voice became much louder.
Inside the General's Mansion, Si Kongyao, Liu Buyi, and the others naturally knew what had happened. They all knelt down.
King Lan Ji said in a clear voice, "The Emperor decrees that Si Kongyao is conferred the title of Xiping Commandery Princess and Xishan Province's Chief Executive. She will be in charge of all the troops in Xishan Province, as well as all the land, taxes, and treasuries in Xishan Province. At the same time, Bai Ze's mercenaries are conferred the title of National Defense Army. Si Kongyao is ordered to immediately lead the National Defense Army to Xiping City to rest and reorganize. In a few days, they will set off to the north to assist Eastcalm City!"
Si Kongyao lowered her head, raised her hand and said, "I … Si Kongyao receives the imperial edict."
King Lan Ji handed the imperial edict to Si Kongyao and said with a smile, "Miss Sikong, from now on, we are colleagues. You are a Commandery King. I hope we can work together to defeat the strong enemy."
"Of course."
Si Kongyao glanced at the imperial edict and said, "But why is the Bai Ze's mercenaries called the National Defense Army? I have never agreed to this. So … the flag of the Bai Ze's mercenaries is still the Bai Ze's mercenaries. It will never be changed. "
"Miss, don't worry. His Majesty won't pursue this detail. As long as you can send troops, it will be fine." Saying this, King Lan Ji seemed to be a little anxious and said, "When … shall we leave?"
Si Kongyao smiled faintly and said, "The three armies are ready. We will leave in the afternoon."
"Good … that's great!"
