Chapter 397: The Country’s Destruction (15)

"Do you want to eat more?"

In the city of Tongguan, Cao Lin watched the old subordinate in front of him eat up the second bowl of noodles, and it was rare for him to ask intimately.

"No, if you eat any more, your stomach will swell." Li Qingchen wiped his mouth, then took a bowl of water to rinse his mouth, and drank it down in one gulp. "If you want to achieve great things, you must maintain your health, otherwise, no matter how amazing you can be, it's just making wedding dresses for others..."

"That makes sense." Cao Lin nodded with a smile, and then returned to the topic. "It took you a few days to get here? What way did you go?"

"Less than four days." Li Qingchen said something. "It is to take Hongshan Fukou Road, then follow Zhengzhou County Official Road through Shangdang, enter Linfen, and then cross Hedong along Fenshui Avenue to reach here."

Cao Lin continued to nod: "Thanks for your hard work."

"It's okay." Li Twelve Lang answered seriously. "After all, it's the right way. I have cultivation base. I can change horses when I get to the city. It doesn't take much effort, but I don't have the body protection, so I can't help being a little cold and hungry, but I'm not sleepy..."

"Thank you." That's all Cao Lin could say.

In fact, when the situation has reached this point, this subordinate has been able to stick to him all the time, and basically he has followed him to the end. He can only feel grateful in his heart, but at the same time, he doesn't know what the other party's coming is going to do. It seems that he can only Thank you.

"I'm here this time mainly to report to Zhongcheng the situation in Hebei." Without Cao Lin needing to speak, Li Qingchen continued with a water bowl in his hand, directly getting into the topic. "Zhang Xing first published "The Law of Destroying the Dragon", titled "The Benefits of the Same World", and then he broke the Liyang warehouse, and all the 30 years of Hebei's taxes were returned to Hebei. As a result, Hebei was shaken, and the hearts of the people were all attached, and they also took advantage of the trend to sweep Wei County, Ji The county surrendered Wuyang, and Li Ding also began to waver. At the same time, they were still attacking Aoshan and taking the warehouse in Luokou, Xingyang. Regardless of them, it is only time before the Dragon Suppressing Gang will sweep the entire territory of the old land of Eastern Qi."

Cao Lin still nodded, and he could only nod: "I just found out...so what does Twelve Lang mean? I hope I turn around and deal with the Dragon Gang?"

"Yes." Li Qingchen said simply. "I'll make it clear first, I have selfish intentions... I have been dealing with Zhang Xing from Henan to Hebei, but I have been defeated repeatedly. At first it was a personal grievance, and then gradually I felt that it was a competition for standing up for the world. From the military confrontation to the cultivation base, from the political arrangement to the gathering of people's hearts, everything has been suppressed, and now he has taken all the hearts of Hebei, and I have suffered a crushing defeat, so I can't bear it in my heart."

"I understand." Cao Lin nodded immediately, but couldn't help but smile bitterly. "But Li Twelve Lang, I understand what you have and your breath is stuffy, and I also have my own difficulties. With the current situation in Dawei, Dongdu is the only one who has the cost of my last blow here, so I have to calculate it clearly. ...You said you turned around to deal with the Chulong Gang, but did you ever think that it would be too late to save Luokou Cang when you go back now? Or did Twelve Lang think that the Chulong Gang dared to attack Dongdu?"

"I definitely won't fight Dongdu." Li Qingchen said seriously. "Zhang San has a good idea in his heart. When he took down the Liyang warehouse, he put out grain and kept transporting grain behind him. How can he talk about Dongdu? If he doesn't clean up Hebei and take the land of Jin, he won't dare to touch Dongdu. Yes. As for the Luokou granary, even if it is lost, it can be retrieved, and they won’t be able to transport much of the food inside..."

"What about after you take it back? Lock it up again?"

"Of course it will be released, and then the Dragon Gang will continue to release food, but we are required to do so."

"Is this... still useful?"

"It's not very useful, so I don't recommend really taking back the Luokou warehouse, because the effect is not great, and it is easy to scare the snake. We should take advantage of the fact that most of the Dragon Gang is in Xingyang, detour Hanoi, and go straight to Liyang... Zhongcheng himself Go." Li Qingchen finally expressed his plan. "If you can capture and kill Zhang Xing, it's natural. If you can't, you should take advantage of the situation to destroy the master, try to defeat Zhang Xing's direct subordinate elite, and then go straight to the general's mausoleum and pull out his general's mausoleum in one fell swoop... In this case, Zhang Xing himself relied on his cultivation to survive. Without his wings and prestige, he would also lose the foundation of monopolizing power in the gang, and then he would once again be separated from the forces in Henan. In the end, Li Shu took advantage of the situation to stand up for the two of them in the future. Continuing from the previous dispute between Zhang and Li... we should let go of the Luokou warehouse instead."

Cao Lin nodded immediately: "This is indeed a solution... But Twelve Lang, the same sentence, Kansai is not important? I have limited abilities now, and I don't have the skills to separate myself, so I can only go to one place."

"Zhongcheng, the next time I saw you in Dongdu, I made it very clear that there is no hope for the Great Wei, so it doesn't really matter to Zhongcheng whether to go to Kansai or not." Li Qingchen laughed. "Anyway, the British guild makes a move."

Cao Lin was slightly taken aback, looking at the other party without saying a word.

"Isn't the lower official telling the truth?" Li Twelve Lang's face remained unchanged, still smiling. "The British Duke's ambition is now well known to passers-by. Except for the 15 counties in northern Shanxi, which he used as a dung cellar to drive out hungry people and bandits, the other 12 counties have already been drawn and controlled by him. The counties and counties in western Hebei also have a lot of influence from him. They can be regarded as both left and right. There are also Bai Hengyuan's Xiangfan seven counties, one south and one north. Not only do they want to enter the customs, but they also need to prepare for the future to leave the customs and sweep the Central Plains... How can this kind of person really give up the fundamental land of Kansai to the Wu Clan?"

Cao Lin nodded, and asked earnestly, "But if this is the case, shouldn't I deal with Duke Ying first?"

"It's okay for Zhong Cheng to deal with the British Duke if he wants." Li Qingchen was still relaxed. "But I will still persuade Zhongcheng to put his last thoughts on dealing with Zhang Xing."

"Because of his benefit of the same world?"

"This is one of the reasons, at least it is the reason to persuade Zhongcheng." Li Qingchen finally answered seriously. "After what happened in Li Yangcang, I really felt that he might succeed, and that's why Zhong Cheng should deal with him... Zhong Cheng, Da Wei is going to perish, don't you think about Cao's? The Bai family replaced Cao, the Cao family was suppressed for a while, and the descendants of the branch would not lose the famous Guanlong family, but if Zhang Xing succeeded, let alone his "benefits of the same world", he was just a meritorious minister mainly from Hebei. It is enough to eclipse Guan Long, how can the Cao family be spared?"

Cao Lin was noncommittal, but simply asked, "You have talked with the Englishman, what did he ask you to bring me?"

"No." Li Qingchen answered frankly. "I'm not from the Duke of England, and I haven't seen him. On the contrary, I know that if I want to persuade Zhong Cheng to deal with the Dragon Gang, I must also bring the Duke of England along with me, because Zhong Cheng is also angry with the Duke of England..."

Cao Lin opened his mouth to speak, but he shut up the next moment.

"So, although I didn't see the British Duke, I met Old Master Zhang when I passed by Nanpo." Li Qingchen said calmly. "I asked Old Master Zhang, if we attack Hebei, will he stop it? He said that Zhang Sanlang's audacity and apostasy are beyond his tolerance. Therefore, if Zhong Cheng enters Hebei, he will never be a thief. Well, Zhong Cheng, if Old Master Zhang is sure not to embarrass you, from your point of view, can you take it easy after defeating Zhang Xing... At that time, not only can you enter Kansai again, but more importantly, if you go to Hebei , won't the British guild be unable to hold back and have to enter the customs first, and then Zhongcheng can steal him and turn the world around?"

Cao Lin fell silent.

Besides, the main reason why he stays in Tongguan is of course the bastard Han Yingong, but the question is, why is he waiting in Tongguan instead of Taolin or Xidu?Why didn't he dare go to Hedong to dispose of Han Yingong?

Of course, it is because of a simple and direct reason, that is, the great master can use the pagoda, the farther away from the pagoda, the weaker, and the closer to the pagoda, the stronger, and this distance is not a simple straight-line distance, but a specific geographical area. Even urban agglomerations are divided.

No one knows whether it is because some mountains and rivers blocked the exchange of vitality between heaven and earth, or the geographical division itself gave birth to these mountains and rivers. In short, this seems to be a problem that the great masters realized very early on, and it is also a problem that ordinary people know more about. A basic truth about advanced practitioners.

Specifically speaking from Cao Lin's point of view, others are not afraid of anyone in the Eastern Capital, but when they leave the Eastern Capital, their combat power will drop to a certain extent. The vitality of heaven and earth has been dispatched.

This point was even more obvious when there was a Nanpo master in Hedong and a Taoist Taibaifeng in Guanxi.

One goes up and down, once he crosses the big river or enters the customs, it means putting himself in danger, especially if at least one of the two great masters has an ambiguous attitude, and there is also a British Duke whose cultivation level is unknown.

Cao Lin became more and more suspicious that Duke Ying was already a grand master, but he hadn't erected a pagoda yet, or he was waiting to enter the customs or win the Eastern Capital before erecting a pagoda, or even establishing a system directly.

And this means that once he leaves the Eastern Capital and sets foot in Jindi or Kansai, he is likely to be intercepted and killed by the two great masters with absolute superiority... the same goes for Hebei.

It doesn't matter if I die, and Grandmaster Cao doesn't feel that he is still afraid of death, but he can't die in vain, wasting Wei's last top combat power in vain, this is something Cao Lin has long thought about.

What's more, when he went west this time, he originally had the latent intention of fishing out Bai Hengqiu or Old Master Zhang, and then turned back suddenly, trying to replace one of them.

However, I don't know if it was Han Yingong himself who made up his own mind, or those two from Jindi played too well, he couldn't even take this step.

But now, if Zhang Xing's words and deeds not only greatly shaken Dongdu, but also made Old Master Zhang vigilant, it is indeed a good idea to be willing to take a small loophole.

"Han Yingong..." At this point, Cao Lin suddenly opened his mouth.

"I didn't go to see him." Li Qingchen said calmly. "I saw it in Huaixi before. This person is too selfish and leads troops all the year round, so in his eyes, nothing compares to the little soldiers he holds in his hand. For those soldiers, what can he do?" Dare to do it, dare to fool anyone, what's the use of meeting such a person? However, I think this time it is not the appointment of the British Duke and Mr. Zhang, but his own decision. He just doesn't want to go west and fight the Wu people. "

"I suspect so too." Cao Lin nodded. "Instinctively, I thought that he was instructed to act as a bait there, but then I thought, if the Duke of England and Mrs. Zhang are really behind the scenes, I just need to let him go west with me, and then block my way back..."

At this point, Cao Linfu sighed again: "Although that is the case, he was garrisoning the sea of ​​bitterness back then. He dared to fight and act bravely. How did he become like this?"

"Of course it's because the great Wei has no virtue, and the Cao family has no virtue." Li Qingchen couldn't help the irritability in his heart, and blurted out. "Zhongcheng, what's the use of talking about these things now? In my opinion, even Zhang Xing and British Duke were forced to rebel by Wei and the two saints!"

This time, Cao Lin unexpectedly did not refute, he paused, and asked the last question: "Twelve Lang, can I trust you?"

"I can only guarantee two things." Li Qingchen answered frankly. "Firstly, Old Master Zhang really doesn't take Zhang San's idea of ​​'combining the interests of the world' and 'throwing away the interests of the world', and thinks that the other party is bold; Taking advantage of people's dangers, making things difficult for Zhongcheng... As for whether old master Zhang lied to me, whether we won or lost in Hebei, and whether the British guild will be fooled in the future, I don't know at all. Identity, please Zhongcheng Dongjin."

With that said, Li Qingchen stood up, avoided the table and bowed in salute.

Cao Lin nodded, and also stood up: "I see...the situation is like this, we really can't sit back and watch the overall situation collapse, and if old master Zhang has these two words, going to Hebei is indeed the best choice at present...Li Twelve Lang, you take a break, I'll go to inspect the troops, and we will turn around and go to Hebei according to your plan!"

Hearing these words, Li Qingchen felt his head shake for a moment, and then some things that were tense on his body immediately disintegrated, and he fell down and sat down.

Seeing this, Cao Lin stepped forward and patted the opponent's shoulder, before turning around and leaving.

And Li Twelve Lang just sat there motionless... You must know that at that moment just now, not only the fatigue and sleepiness of several days came up, but also some fear, shame, uneasiness, and even Including a hint of regret.

People are so weird, they don't pass in one breath, they try their best to do whatever they want, they don't care about anything, they don't care about anything, but in one breath, they will worry about gains and losses.

Of course, Li Twelve Lang was not a weak-willed person. After resting for a while, he regained his energy and was determined to finish this matter to the end.

At the same time, Uncle Cao also began to arrange for the return, saying that it was a return, but it was just a notice.

The only person in the army who is qualified to refute Cao Lin is Duan Wei, Minister of the Ministry of War, but although Duan Shangshu was surprised and mocked a few words, he did not stop him, because as early as in the Eastern Capital, this Minister Duan said to attack together The angry words of the Hebei Chulong Gang.Judging from his consistent performance, it seems that he only wanted to promote Cao Lin to send troops, without any specific direction.

Of course, since Uncle Cao, who is already in a desperate situation, has made up his mind, how can he let Duan Wei continue to interfere?If Duan Wei insists on going his own way, he will only be Li Wei's target.

And half a day later, the troops set off immediately.

Besides, Cao Lin marched west this time, and when he left the city, he and Duan Wei only brought a few hundred riders. The original plan was to join Hongnong Zheng Shanye and his [-] men along the way, Dong Han Yin Gong's men, plus his adopted son, and many others. The Taibao Zhongxiu was second only to the first two Seventh Taibao Ji Zeng and the three thousand Tongguan defenders led by Ji Zeng, and then entered Kansai. Naturally, there were also Feng Yi's troops led by the Taibao Fang and the Second Taibao Xue Liang. And the [-] garrison in the western capital.

Now Han Yingong has not yet arrived, but Luo Fang and Xue Liang have already led their troops from the west to meet them in advance, so at this time, there are still [-] soldiers under Uncle Cao, two masters of alchemy, and seven masters of condensing alchemy ...Three of them were basically non-military personnel brought out from the Eastern Capital.

Troops marching eastward, especially within the Eastern Capital, have numerous warehouses along the way, and the roads are open, especially when the troops voluntarily drop their luggage, but the speed is [-] to [-] miles a day, which is frighteningly fast. It is estimated that they can reach Luoyang in three or four days. .

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, when we arrived in Shan County, Li Qingchen further suggested that, in order to prevent surprises, and known to the horse spies, we should not enter the Eastern Capital, but go straight to Luokou, relying on the warehouse supplies there, and then cross the Hebei.And he himself can step into the Eastern Capital first, bring Song Changsheng and Qu Tuda out together in the name of defending against the surprise attack of the Dragon Army, take out the weapons by the way, and wait in Luokou in advance.

Without hesitation, Cao Lin immediately wrote an order, asking Li Qingchen to find Su Wei, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Capital while doing this. To confuse; on the other hand, Su Wei was asked to assist Li Qingchen in the name of defending the river bank and the Sishui Pass, trying to gather as many experts as possible in the bureaucratic system in the city to gather enough combat power.

After all, although the grand master is unparalleled in power, he must also consider the increasingly powerful strength of the Dragon Clan itself, and going to Hebei will inevitably require a big battle.

Li Qingchen naturally took the order and left.

Cao Lin turned back in a big way, it's fine to go elsewhere, but Hadong Han Yingong noticed it at the first time, and then thought for a while, but he couldn't get anything, so he could only send a letter to Taiyuan Feima, and at the same time leave the barracks in person, and headed for the nearby South Slope come.

There is no way, at this time, he can only feel at ease if he finds another great master.

Unexpectedly, this time Old Master Zhang actually summoned the other party.

"I should have gone to Hebei." Old Master Zhang, who has been in good spirits recently, is very kind. "Earlier, Li Twelve Lang, the ambassador of Yecheng Palace, escaped from Hebei and was planning to go to Tongguan to find Cao Zhongcheng and go to Hebei to deal with the Dragon Gang. When he passed by Nanpo, he asked me about the situation in Hebei, the Dragon Gang, Zhang Xing, and Cao Zhongcheng. attitude, he left after I told you...Didn't Li Twelve Lang look for you?"

Han Yingong shook his head blankly.

Zhang Bofeng nodded and didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter, anyway, he has succeeded by the looks of it... The Dragon Gang didn't know what earth-shattering things they did, and they swept the world to Hebei."

Han Yingong hesitated for a moment, and asked seriously: "So, Zhang Shibo, have I escaped this?"

Zhang Bofeng was stunned for a moment, smiled, but shook his head instead: "It's hard to say... because I'm going to leave Nanpo and go for a walk. You expect to be able to avoid some great masters by staying here, and it won't work soon."

Han Yingong was stunned for a moment, and continued to ask: "When will Shi Bo leave?"

"Right away... tomorrow morning at the latest." Zhang Bofeng nodded, suddenly lost in thought. "It's been a long time since I went out, I hope this trip is worthwhile."

Han Yingong was at a loss, but seeing the other party looking at the sun outside the door, he dared not say any more.

Another day later, Old Master Zhang quietly left Nanpo, and as early as the day before, Han Yingong had just left Nanpo, and without hesitation, he went straight to the north and headed for Taiyuan—two great masters The activation made him completely afraid.

At this time, Taiyuan was also full of excitement, because the British prince, who had always been sitting firmly, suddenly acted tough and his voice became loud.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the British Duke specially invited Taiyuan Wenwen military officials, celebrities of famous families, masters of practice, scholars of literature, law and Taoism.Everyone knew it well, or they were anxious, or they flocked here with eagerness to try.

Interestingly, until this point, the British Crown Prince still did not occupy the nearby Taiyuan Palace, but held a banquet in the slightly cramped lobby of the British Royal Palace.

Dozens of dignitaries present, as well as close friends and guests of the British government, nearly a hundred people arrived in advance in the afternoon, even as early as noon, and gathered together, and the hall also left early to provide banquet drinks...Of course, no one cared about the food and drink. Instead, everyone talked about it, or talked about the situation in Kansai, or the situation in Hebei, or talked about the local rumors, so-called whispering, talking, debating and probing, and so on.

"The princes are here! All three princes are here!"

There was a lot of discussion among the people in the seat, and suddenly, three people came straight from outside the door, but someone actually arrived under the pressure of time.However, after everyone saw the person coming, no one was surprised. Instead, they all stood up and greeted each other in awe.

It is called "Three Princes", "Huaidu Duke, Huaitong Duke, and Huai Jigong".

It turned out that the person who came was none other than the current representative of the Wang family, the largest famous family in Taiyuan, that is, the three Wang brothers Wang Huaidu, Wang Huaitong, and Wang Huaiji.

Among them, although Wang Huaidu is the boss, he was just deposed by the Dragon Army and broke the city. He abandoned his status as the governor of Jijun and fled back. It is unavoidable to make people feel contemptuous; and the third Wang Huaiji disappeared for many years and came back, although it is said that he has been thinking about it. Baojing, it is estimated that he is approaching the Grandmaster, but it is just a rumor, he is not sure, and his words and gestures are flinching, crazy, and people can't help laughing behind their backs... But, it is behind the scenes and in the heart, on the surface, no one dares to Be rude to them, no matter whether it is a British official who holds financial power and military power, or a family background such as the Zhang family in Hedong, the Li family in Longxi, and the Bai family, or the famous scholars and masters of practice, there is no one. Man has any faux pas.

Because, among the three, there is also the second child, Wang Huaitong.

That's right, this is Old Master Zhang's favorite student, the teacher of Wei Xuanding, everyone in Taiyuan knows a master who entered the country the year before last.

Moreover, he imitated Master Nanpo early on, and after being an official in the court in his early years and handing in the certificate of nomination, he taught in Taiyuan with peace of mind. For decades, although he was not as good as Zhang Gong, his disciples were all over Jin. , Hebei, and don’t forget that he was originally a master of Master Zhang, the kind he inherited seriously, so Master Zhang’s students should respect him.

In fact, even if you ask Wei Xuanding to come, no matter how cynical he is, he will honestly bow his hands and salute.

After exchanging pleasantries, the three of them directly sat in the front row seats that had been expected for a long time. Immediately afterwards, Wang Huaidu smoothed things over: "What were you talking about just now? Just say it now."

Unexpectedly, before the Duke of England came out at this time, the rest of the people could not help being curious when Wang Huaitong arrived, and one person even said directly: "To tell you the truth, we have been talking about the serious situation of banditry at the moment, the morale of the bandit army in Hebei is soaring, The Xiwu clan went south in a big way. We are alone in Jin, and the British Duke... If we want to use the power of Jin to restore peace to the world, should we go first... first to stabilize Guanxi, or to stabilize Hebei? In the past, everyone I thought I would go to Kansai first, but when the Hebei Chulong Gang came in, their prestige rose greatly, and everyone was uneasy. May I ask what the three princes think?"

Wang Huaidu was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Wang Huaiji even cringed while holding the mirror.

On the other hand, Wang Huaitong, sitting still, raised his beard to answer:
"Kansai is definitely more important. Kansai must be taken first, but Hebei must be attacked before taking Kansai. Otherwise, it will be a big disaster to dethrone the Dragon Gang."

"Take Kansai and hit Hebei?" the person who asked the question repeated.

"That's exactly what it means." Wang Huaitong explained without hesitation. "There is no need to say too much about taking Guanxi, but the removal of the Dragon Gang is indeed a confidant's trouble. I thought that Zhang San was just a puppet of the Northland. The so-called villain who specializes in taking advantage of the situation is not a hero. Gradually, I realized that the first one of that generation was proficient in grammar, the second one knew the system, the third one knew the advantages and disadvantages, the fourth one had courage, and the fifth one traveled as soon as he made a statement. Climate... behaves like a serious hero."

"So what about a serious hero?" Someone didn't hold back.

"It's just common for a serious hero to win the land of Hebei in the east and rebuild the regulations of the Eastern Qi Dynasty." Wang Huaitong's words were still straightforward. "Being governed by the Eastern Qi Dynasty is Guan Long's life and death enemy, that's all!"

Regardless of whether they agreed or not, everyone nodded in agreement... However, most of them were opposed, and most of them felt that Wang Huaitong was covering up for his brother's defeat.

"However, this is just my family's opinion." Wang Huaitong continued to twist his beard. "Where to use the power of Jindi depends on the original intention of the British Duke."

Everyone nodded again.

But at this point, Wang Huaitong didn't speak anymore, just closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Seeing this, the rest of the people continued to shout.

However, the Wang brothers almost came at the scheduled time, so after Wang Lao Er shut up, within half a stick of incense, he suddenly heard a gong in the back corridor of the hall, and the whole hall fell silent, and everyone spontaneously Grandmaster Wang Huaitong and others stood up one after another.

Since I went to this banquet, I have already explained my attitude.

And sure enough, in a short while, two generals who made alchemy and two generals who made alchemy were fully armored, leading seventy or eighty armored men who were all masters of strange scriptures, entered with their swords in hand, and quickly controlled the already crowded lobby.

And everyone can see clearly that the four people are the in-laws of the Bai family, the former general of the guard who was dismissed for crimes in the early years, and Dou Qi, the younger brother of Dou Shangzhi, the head of the Dou family; Sun Shunde, the "fugitive" of the former Imperial Army Eagle Yang Lang; and Liu Yangji, who became anonymous after the Second Expedition, but later voted in Taiyuan in Baihengqiu; plus Bai Liben, a son of the Bai family.

For these four people, those who don't know are naturally confused, but those who know some inside information know that these four are the hosts of Bai Hengqiu's self-conscripted "Royal Robbers" in Taiyuan, and the recruitment of soldiers from various counties to become field soldiers. , is the direct subordinate of the British Duke who is making military preparations in Taiyuan.

In contrast, the captains of the various counties and the generals of the Ying Yang Lang of the various prefectures, many of them are actually not low in martial arts, but they have not gained such trust.

After the four of them stood still with their practitioners in armor, after a short while, they saw the British Duke entering with a toga with long sleeves, an ordinary warrior crown, and a long sword. Behind him was his "friend", the nephew of Grand Master Zhang Bofeng, Fenyang Palace Ambassador Zhang Shijing.

When they came to the hall, Zhang Shijingzhi stopped at the side, while Bai Hengqiu, the British prince, went straight to the middle, turned around and stood proudly.

Everyone clasped their hands together and said, "British police."

When Bai Hengqiu heard the words, he only raised his voice to answer: "I also wish you well."

When everyone heard the words, they withdrew their hands one after another and were about to sit down, but they were surprised to find that the British Duke himself was still standing still, but he just looked around at the crowd. The crowd was helpless, and even those who had already sat down jumped up and stood up again. .

After everyone stood still, the hall was silent, at this moment, Bai Hengqiu spoke up boldly: "Everyone, I read a theory a few years ago that confuses the public, and someone said that he wants to 'depose' all the benefits of the world." Isn't it ridiculous?!"

Those who can stand like Wang Huaitong just twitched their beards and kept silent, but other people in the hall naturally answered one after another, calling it ridiculous.

Bai Hengqiu finally laughed too: "Why is it so ridiculous?"

It's not easy to answer, Wang Huaitong may be able to answer, but he didn't answer, so the hall was quiet for a while.

"It's very simple, if you can't be good at the benefits of the world, the world will be lifeless and return to chaos!" Bai Hengqiu looked around, asking himself and answering. "Conversely, only by making the interests of the world better than some heroes can the world be in chaos!
"For example, right now, the bandits in Hebei are rampant, the witches in Kansai are rampant, and the rebels in Jiangdong are so powerful that they have nothing to gain. How can the heroes stabilize the place with their bare hands? How can we wipe out these ugliness?!

"Based on this, wouldn't it be ridiculous for those thieves to disperse the benefits that the world has managed to gather together?!"

The people below could finally talk to each other, but Bai Hengqiu didn't give them a chance to flatter them.

"Gentlemen." The Duke of England continued to speak, his tone softened a little, but he still rolled over the entire hall, clearly and flawlessly. "Now the world is full of thieves and ambitious people. The Wei court has been isolated and has no strength. Only our Jin land still has peace and strength. If we can't face difficulties, then the world will be ruined." If they are saved, they will be eaten up and eaten up by those ugliness who don’t know what to say.”

At this point, the British Duke suddenly sighed slightly, then untied and took off the warrior crown on his head, revealing his gray hair, and then looked around: "I am Bai Hengqiu, and I have reached fifty years old. Retire at home, play chess and entertain, but the world has come to this point, but you can't just sit idly by, you can only be forced to come out. I called everyone today because you are the masters of Jindi, and I would like to ask you for a favor Let's see if I, Bai Hengqiu, can be allowed to temporarily take advantage of the 12 counties of Jin, and then use this to stabilize the world? Are you willing?"

As soon as the words were finished, the radiant light overflowed, instantly connecting the four generals and the eighty armored soldiers, and immediately enveloped the entire hall in a slightly reddish radiance.

Not to mention, as the four generals yelled together, the soldiers raised their weapons one after another and slammed the ground on the hall, causing this rich and amazing glow to fluctuate, surging like a rising tide, as if submerged The entire lobby even has a tendency to connect to the double moon that has just risen in the sky outside the hall.

Wang Huaitong and Wang Huaiji looked at the direction outside the hall together, and then the master Wang Huaitong bowed his hands twice for the first time and said: "Bai Gong, I am proud of the benefits of advancing to the land, and no one will object."

The rest of the people woke up like a dream, and they bowed their hands one after another. Although their words were different, their saluting movements were uniform and imposing.

After everyone saluted for the second time, Bai Hengqiu, who put back the warrior crown, just laughed: "In that case, today I will first do something with the advantage of Jin... Is Wang Xiong, the ambassador of the Taiyuan Palace, here?"

Wang Xiong responded immediately.

"Open the gate of the palace next door, call the maids and eunuchs in the palace, take the imperial materials, hold a banquet in the main hall of the palace, set up singing and dancing, and take treasures from the palace to reward the master of Jin who is attending the banquet today, as well as the guards of the 12 counties of Jin, Lang Jiang, Jun Cheng, Du Wei, Hong Shou, Hei Shou, Sima, whoever enters the hall, also prepares the ceremony." Bai Hengqiu calmly smiled. "Although I want to be good at the benefits of the land, I want to be good at it with you."

Wang Xiong was stunned for a moment, feeling the sea-like true energy around him, but he fell on one knee on the spot, bowed down and said: "Minggong Yingrui, the subordinates should obey orders."
