After waking up, Feng Li still felt a little dizzy, and the wound on his life root had already healed, but at this time, he felt a dull pain again.
His martial arts were very high, but he would still get sick.
This was because the martial arts of this world came from the energy deep in the blood vessels, and the bones and tendons were strengthened to a certain extent.
But the internal organs of the body would still get sick and weak.
"Gui Xingfu, damn old thief, old thief …"
After waking up, Feng Li roared with all his might, smashing everything around him until nothing was left.
His wife, Fang Qingzhuo, quickly hugged him and cried, "Don't be like this, don't be like this!"
And Li Chenglian, who had been standing the whole time, also knelt on the ground.
"Go, kill Ling Ao and dismember his body into ten thousand pieces!" Feng Li roared.
"Yes." Li Chenglian got up and walked out.
But just as he walked out, Zhi Li's voice came from behind, "Ling Ao is in Turin Tuo's camp, forget it!"
"Yes!" Li Chenglian walked back.
Zhi Li seemed to have calmed down, lying on the bed and staring at the gorgeous roof.
Ma Yingwei's 150,000-strong army was completely annihilated, and Ma Yingwei himself was beheaded.
Gui Xingfu surrendered to Søren, and ruthlessly stabbed Zhi Li in the back, cutting deep into the bone.
He originally wanted to use the murder of the young master to frame the crime of rebellion on Søren, and then send an army to destroy the Suo Clan in Tian Shui City.
In the end, Gui Xingfu took the initiative to expose the truth of the young master's assassination. It was Zhi Li who failed to molest Gui Qinshao, and was stabbed instead.
Scandal, a huge scandal!
Of course, Zhi Li had always liked to sleep with other people's wives, so there was nothing shameful about it. The key was that he failed to molest Gui Qinshao, and was stabbed instead. This was a huge scandal.
This would be a huge damage to Zhi Li's image.
These three things, each very fatal, happened at the same time.
Jiewei was one of his right-hand men, and now he was dead.
Gui Xingfu was his first direct descendant among the feudal vassals. Now that he had betrayed him, he had stabbed him in the back.
Most importantly, Ma Wei's entire army was annihilated, and he himself was beheaded by Søren.
Søren was ruthless, too ruthless!
This was the biggest blow Zhi Li had ever received!
How serious would the consequences of this attack be? Zhi Li could guess it even if he closed his eyes.
"Li Weng, why do you think Søren is so daring? Uncle Zhi Li is one of the two remaining dukes of the royal family. Even Chi Bian didn't dare to kill him, but he killed him just like that." Zhi Li said, "Is he not afraid of arousing the jealousy of Ma Ting and Jung Yeon? Is he not afraid of incurring the wrath of the world?"
Li Chenglian said, "Firstly, Søren's killing of Ma Wei will indeed cause a shocking change in the world. However, this incident is currently being covered up by another major incident, so it is difficult for the world to specifically dig out this incident to criticize Søren. "
Li Chenglian spoke very politely, saying that the consequences of Ma Wei's murder was being covered up by another major incident. In fact, it was not a major incident, but a shocking scandal.
Young Prince Zhi Li failed to molest the newly married Gui Qinshao and was stabbed instead. This incident was already very ugly. He even made a false accusation and framed the assassination on Søren.
Such a shameless and despicable incident happening to the future king could indeed overshadow the incident of Ma Wei's murder.
If the world wanted to investigate Søren for killing Ma Wei? Fine, then why did you not pursue the matter of Young Prince Zhi Li being so despicable and shameless?
Besides, Duke Ma Wei was not killed by Søren, but by the king's decree. It was justifiable and he deserved it.
Li Chenglian said, "Secondly, Søren killing Ma Wei is to give Turin Tuo a big gift. After Ma Wei's death, Turin Tuo is your only pillar of support, no one can keep him in check. Now, it is the slave bullying the master, if Turin Tuo retreats and doesn't attack Tianshui City, you really can't do anything. "
Zhi Li painfully closed his eyes. He was very smart, even under his anger, he could see the intention behind Søren's killing of Ma Wei.
However, seeing through was one thing, but there was nothing he could do.
Li Chenglian said, "Søren made a risky move, but if he succeeded, he could instantly turn the situation around. This person's ruthlessness, decisiveness, and unparalleled intelligence, this old servant has never seen such a person. "
Zhi Li shook his head and said, "Ma Wei is really a useless person, an army of one hundred and fifty thousand, three times that of Søren, but they were completely annihilated. Moreover, this person is pedantic, if he lost, then he lost, he could just escape in advance, so what if he lost one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers? Now that he is dead, where can I find someone who can stand up to Turin Tuo? "
Li Chenglian said, "Your Highness, the situation in front of us can be said to be difficult, but it can also be said to be easy!"
Zhi Li nodded and said, "Yes, stake it all on one throw, kill Søren, then everything will be fine."
Li Chenglian said, "Before this, we still have to consider our reputation when we deal with Søren, we have to be justified. But now the arrow is already on the bowstring, we have no choice but to release it. Even though we have no justifiable reason to attack Tianshui City, we can only pretend that we don't know anything, bury our heads and kill our way through, destroy Tianshui City, destroy the Suo Clan! "
"Yes!" Zhi Li said.
When he said this, his heart was actually in pain.
Previously, to destroy the Suo Clan, they had to use the name of pirates. This time, to destroy the Suo Clan, first, Gui Xingfu opened the way in the name of recapturing Rocky Island, then used the assassination of the young emperor to frame the crime of treason on Søren.
In short, Tianshui City's Suo Clan was a duke of the kingdom, to destroy it, it must be justified. This way, it would not violate the kingdom's system, and would not hurt Zhi Li's dignity.
Now that they had completely fallen out, they could not frame Søren for treason, so they could only bury their heads and pretend that they knew nothing, and directly destroy Tianshui City.
This would undoubtedly be a huge damage to Zhi Li's prestige, to the kingdom's system.
How would the dukes and nobles view Zhi Li?
This way, even if Zhi Li destroyed Søren and ascended the throne, the dukes and nobles would secretly despise him. And Duke Turin Tuo, who had lost his balance, would become a powerful minister.
It could be said that attacking Tianshui City without a good reason was a huge overdraft on Zhi Li's future, and would bury a huge hidden danger for his future career as king.
He knew there were so many disadvantages, but he still had to do it, because Zhi Li knew that Søren had to be destroyed.
If he did not destroy Søren, Zhi Li could not even be king, let alone talk about the future.
It was still the lesser of two evils.
"Drink the medicine." Fang Qingzhuo said softly.
Zhi Li took the medicine, drank it in one gulp, and said: "Go ask, where is Turin Tuo's 200,000 troops? Will they attack Sirius Pass soon? They won't lose this time, right? "
Li Chenglian said: "No, Turin Tuo is ten times stronger than Zhenwei. The Dragon Guards are also much stronger than Zhenwei's southeastern troops. Most importantly, Søren is also exhausted after destroying Zhenwei's 150,000 troops, and has no more strength to fight Turin Tuo's army. If he could fight Turin Tuo, he would not need to kill Zhenwei. He knows the consequences of killing Zhenwei better than we do. "
Zhi Li said: "Yes, that makes sense. Søren was forced to kill Zhenwei because he was powerless to fight Turin Tuo, letting Turin Tuo's slaves bully his master, and having the confidence to retreat. Today, he killed Zhenwei, burying a knot and disaster in Yingting and Jung Yeon's hearts. "
Li Chenglian said: "This person is really loyal and courageous, for Jung Yeon, he can do anything to the extreme."
Zhi Li said: "Send a letter to Turin Tuo, order him to advance and attack Tianshui City without delay."
At this time, Li Zhu's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, there is an urgent secret letter."
Zhi Li's expression slightly changed, saying: "Bring it in."
Eunuch Li Zhu came forward with a secret letter, kneeling down and handing it to Li Chenglian, who then passed it to Zhi Li.
Zhi Li opened the letter and read.
Immediately …
Zhi Li's body trembled again, his face ashen, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
Then, endless anger burst out of Zhi Li's body.
"Ah … ah … ah …"
Then, he let out a series of roars.
"Damned slave, damned slave …"
"Turin Tuo, one day, I will tear you to pieces, and exterminate your nine generations!"
After roaring, Zhi Li snatched the other bowl of medicine from his wife and smashed it on the ground.
Then, he suddenly got up from the bed, raised his sword, and chopped everything in the room into pieces.
"Turin Tuo, Gui Xingfu, they are all damned slaves, I can't trust any of them, I can't let any of them go!" He roared while chopping.
Li Chenglian came forward and picked up the secret letter.
This secret letter from Flying Hawk came from Turin Tuo's army, it was written by a trusted aide that Zhi Li had planted in the army.
It was written that Turin Tuo's army of two hundred thousand was only three hundred miles away from Tianshui City's Tian Lang Pass, but they set up camp and did not move forward.
When the general asked why they stopped, Turin Tuo said that there was an epidemic in the army and it needed to be dealt with urgently to prevent chaos.
And the so-called epidemic was only a few soldiers who mysteriously died of a fever, it was not worth making a fuss over.
Turin Tuo's decision to stop was completely out of wild ambition!
And he clearly knew that Zhi Li would see through his thoughts, but he still did it, it could be seen how arrogant he was.
After Ma Yingwei died, his attitude towards Zhi Li immediately changed.
After venting, Zhi Li calmed down and panted. He sat on the bed with a pale face and started to think about the situation in front of him.
After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "Flying Hawk sent a letter to Turin Tuo, I heard that he has a daughter named Turin Mo, she is gentle, virtuous, and intelligent. I love her very much and hope to marry her as a concubine."
As soon as he said this, Fang Qingzhuo's face trembled and turned pale.
All the kings of the Raging Wave Kingdom only had one wife. Although Zhi Li was lustful, liked to play with other people's wives, and had many mistresses, he only married her, Fang Qingzhuo.
Now, he actually wanted to marry Turin Tuo's third daughter.
The so-called concubine was only half a rank lower than the concubine, it was not a concubine.
From now on, she, Fang Qingzhuo, would not be Zhi Li's only wife. How could she not feel bitter?
Li Chenglian bowed and lowered his head, he did not speak. In his opinion, Zhi Li's condition could not satisfy Turin Tuo's ambition.
Zhi Li was also clear about this, he even knew what Duke Turin Tuo wanted.
What he wanted was too big, Zhi Li really did not want to give it, nor did he dare to give it.
If he gave it, it would be a huge overdraft and damage to his prestige as the future king.
But the current situation was like an arrow on the bow, it had to be released. After letting Soran eat the fruits of this great victory, he suddenly had an army of more than 100,000. At that time, it would be really difficult to destroy him.
Zhi Li's face was distorted, he clenched his teeth to the point of bleeding, he said word by word, "In addition, the late Duke Turin Fei worked hard and contributed greatly to the royal family and the Raging Wave Kingdom. After I succeed to the throne, I will confer the title of Duke Turin Fei as a duke!"
When he said this, Li Chenglian's face trembled!
Turin Fei was Turin Tuo's father, the previous generation's top military commander of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
After Count Sauron died, he was promoted to a marquis.
After Turin Fei died, he was still a duke. This was because the Raging Wave Kingdom had never conferred a king with a different surname. Even within the royal family, there were very few titles.
The brothers of the previous kings were only conferred the title of duke.
Zhi Li's situation was special, in order to suppress Turin Tuo in the future, he might confer the title of duke to Ma Yingwei.
Now that Ma Yingwei was dead, Zhi Li was like an arrow nocked on the bowstring against Søren. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Turin Tuo. He immediately used the opportunity to blackmail Zhi Li. He had no choice but to promise that he would be conferred a king with a different surname after he succeeded to the throne.
This was really breaking his teeth and swallowing his blood and tears into his stomach!
…
Two days later!
Zhi Li's secret letter from the hawk arrived in the hands of Duke Turin Tuo.
This was a letter personally written by Zhi Li. The words were extremely intimate, full of respect and respect for Turin Tuo. He was very concerned about Turin Tuo's health and Tu Ningchen's growth.
Moreover, he proposed in the letter to marry his third daughter.
Of course, this was not what Turin Tuo was concerned about. What made his body tremble and his blood boil was the last part of Zhi Li's letter, where he wanted to confer the title of duke on his father, Turin Fei.
Conferring a king with a different surname, conferring a king with a different surname!
This was probably what Duke Turin Tuo yearned for the most.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Turin Tuo decisively blackmailed Chu Yang, and as expected, he reaped great rewards.
Tu Ningchen said worriedly, "Father, if we blackmailed His Highness Zhi Li like this, will he settle the score with us after he succeeds the throne?"
Turin Tuo sneered, "Childish. If we continue to hold the military power in our hands, he can only flatter us. If we lose the military power, no matter how respectful we are to him, he will only push us into the abyss. "
Tu Ningchen bowed, "Yes."
Turin Tuo said, "I have already arranged a marriage for you. After we eliminate Søren, we will get married immediately."
Tu Ningchen couldn't help but be stunned, "Which family is this woman from?"
Duke Turin Tuo said, "Ying Zhou Island's Hai family's first wife's daughter, Hai Na 'er."
Tu Ningchen's expression changed. This woman had an affair with Aslo before. Aslo was a complete beast. He probably played with the three holes on Hai Na 'er's body more than a hundred times. She was a broken shoe among broken shoes.
Now, his father, Turin Tuo, actually wanted him to marry this broken shoe?
Instantly, Tu Ningchen's expression turned ugly.
Turin Tuo said coldly, "You despise her for being a broken shoe? It's not like you don't know that noble women are very messy before marriage. You want to marry into the Hai family, they have a province and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Even Tu Lingduo can marry an ugly person like Tu Liyang, why can't you marry a broken shoe? If you despise her for not being clean, can't you find eight or ten clean women to be your concubines and mistresses? "
Tu Ningchen knew that he was powerless to stop his father's will, so he immediately bowed, "Yes, father!"
The carefree and uninhibited Liu Chen from before had already been reduced to ashes.
Turin Tuo once again read Zhi Li's secret letter, then stood up and walked out of the camp, shouting, "Army, immediately break camp and advance at full speed. Destroy Tianshui City and kill Søren!"
More than an hour later!
After resting for four days, Turin Tuo's army once again broke camp and marched majestically towards Tian Lang Pass.
The situation in Tianshui City was once again brewing a storm!
… …
"Turin Tuo's army once again set out towards our Tianshui City. They are now less than three hundred li away, they will arrive in two days!" Yan Yan reported.
Søren sneered, "It seems that he extorted something good from Zhi Li, so he didn't hesitate to use all his strength to help Zhi Li."
Turin Tuo's army rested for four days, which also gave Søren four days to rest.
Although these four days were short, they were very precious.
Now, another batch of gunpowder had arrived from a secret island overseas.
Søren's secret gunpowder manufacturing base had already been completely independent, set up on a secret island overseas.
That island had been inhabited by seabirds for thousands of years and had accumulated an astronomical amount of bird droppings.
After a long time, these bird droppings had become a vast amount of saltpeter ore. According to estimates, the amount of saltpeter ore on this island was more than a hundred million jin. For the current situation, it could be said to be endless.
Therefore, the current problem of gunpowder manufacturing was the scale of the secret manufacturing base.
Søren had already transported almost three thousand people to this secret island to be in charge of manufacturing gunpowder.
This time, the number of gunpowder transported by ship was two hundred and thirty thousand jin.
This batch of gunpowder was not enough to fight a big battle. But it was more than enough to beat Turin Tuo.
Sauron said, "The reason why Turin Tuo dares to attack Sky Water City is because he thinks that we are weak and easy to bully. He thinks that after the battle with Ma Wei, we have suffered heavy casualties and are exhausted, and that he can easily destroy us. Once he finds that we are hard to deal with and does not have the confidence to eliminate us, he will retreat in the face of difficulties. "
Yan Yan nodded and said, "Yes, destroying Tianshui City does not have much benefit for Turin Tuo. We are Zhi Li's greatest enemy. Once we are eliminated, Turin Tuo will have to be careful of Zhi Li hiding his bow after all his birds are gone. "
Søren said, "Since that is the case, then go teach him a lesson. Still use airstrikes. Set off with fourteen griffins, drop fifty thousand jin of gunpowder on Ma Wei's head in a few days! "
"Yes!" Yan Yan said.
An hour later!
Fourteen griffins flapped their wings and flew high, each one dragging five hundred jin of gunpowder as they flew towards Turin Tuo's army three hundred li away.
This kind of airstrike did not hope to eliminate many of Turin Tuo's troops, but it was a fierce slap to his face to make him retreat in the face of difficulties!
Many people in this world were people who were amenable to force but not soft tactics.
If you softened, he would think you were easy to bully.
If you forcefully slapped him a few times, he would compromise and retreat!
