Chapter 319: The Plan of Destroying the Army, the Golden King's Seal, and the Shock of the Nine-Colored Divine Deer (asking for monthly tickets)
Under Pojun's gaze, the short white-haired man staggered out from the side, the silver-haired girl looked at Pojun expressionlessly, and the veins on the purple-eyed strategist's forehead twitched.

Carrying the name of Pojun for five hundred years, he cannot lose again!

Po Jun's heart moved, and he took the opportunity to grab the young prince's arm, and said gently: "We parted in Jiangzhou City that day. Although we met again, it was only a short time before we separated. Now I am finally back under the command of my lord, and I am very happy."

Li Guanyi grinned: "Sir, there is no need to be like this. Lei Laomeng, serve some good tea!"

Pojun stared at Yaoguang.

How about it? !

Yaoguang!

We, the king and his minister, are united, and we share the separation!
The silver-haired girl thought about it and silently moved behind Li Guanyi.

Po Jun was slightly startled, and then his heart stagnated. He was smart and strategic, and he could see through people's hearts. He immediately knew what Yao Guang was thinking, and he was furious - "You, you, you mean to say that you have been inseparable from the lord for the past two years, far better than me? !'

'Despicable fellow!'

Li Guanyi was about to talk to Pojun, but the unyielding Pojun grabbed Li Guanyi's arm and shed two tears of sorrow. He said, "Ah, it's true. It's been a long time since we last met. Today I am back under the command of my lord. I am filled with mixed feelings of sadness and joy. I can't help but shed tears."

Lei Laomeng grinned, and Fan Qing raised his hand to support his forehead.

Pojun grabbed Li Guanyi's arm with his left hand and raised his right hand to wipe away his tears. At the same time, he looked at the silver-haired girl with his eyes suddenly turned sideways, and the corner of his mouth hidden by his sleeves curled up.

Hahahaha, so what?
I am walking with you arm in arm, tears dripping down my sleeves, how can you...

The silver-haired girl walked to Li Guanyi, stretched out her hand and grabbed Li Guanyi's sleeve, staring at Pojun who was full of desire to win with a cold and quiet gaze.

"???"

Pojun gnashed his teeth.

How despicable, Yaoguang!

Nangong Wumeng sat on a high chair, with his right leg raised and bent, resting on his left leg, holding a long sword across his body, and leaning back against the chair, letting the two front legs of the wooden chair lift up to keep his balance while swaying, biting a sand apple that is unique to the Western Regions in his mouth.

The taste is soft and not bad.

The products of the Western Region are ordinary, with quinoa, millet and winter wheat as the main staple foods, but the fruits are extremely sweet.

Looking at the scene in front of me.

Chew chew chew.

Nangong Wumeng seemed to see that the one who was holding Li Guanyi's arm and looked like a big dog was glaring at the approaching silver-white cat, baring its teeth in anger, but the cat ignored him and moved closer to rub against the prince's body.

Nangong Wumeng held his chin with one hand, took a bite of the sand apple, and thought about random things.

Lei Laomeng is like a... well, an iron-eating beast from the southwest.

It is tall and strong, looks innocent and harmless, but it is actually very dangerous.

Shi Dalin is like an old monkey, very cunning and crafty.

Zhangsun Wuchou is like a fox, cunning and treacherous, and no one knows how many tricks this guy has in his head. As for Xu Tiange, he is like an old cow, who just thinks about farming every day.

Pan Wanxiu and Gongsun Huaizhi only knew how to build cities and set up agencies.

Fan Qing seems like an old lion that has experienced many storms.

Nangong Wumeng looked at Li Guanyi who raised his hands and said something with a wry smile. The strategist grabbed his arm and glared at the white-haired girl. The white-haired girl thought for a moment, stretched out her arms, wrapped them around Li Guanyi's waist, and then stared at Pojun quietly.

Pojun was so angry that he was about to explode.

Nangong Wumeng smiled, holding his chin with one hand and thinking with a smile.

"Well, the atmosphere in Tiance Mansion is still good. I'm afraid there is no such relaxed atmosphere and relationship in other places..."

"Then Li Guanyi is, um, a big, smooth-furted but poor tabby cat, and the old sword maniac is the big tiger behind the tabby cat? Does the tabby cat have a sword on its tail?"

"My words..."

"Ok?"

"A treasure-hunting squirrel that keeps going out to look for pine cones to feed the tabby cat?"

Nangong Wumeng saw Li Guanyi's gaze, curled his lips and muttered:

"A poor guy."

"You are also a prince?"

The atmosphere over there was finally calmed down by Li Guanyi. Pojun kept swinging the Yushui sword made by Li Guanyi himself on his waist. In the end, he was quite impressed that Yaoguang could actually counter his moves, so he asked: "What were you thinking about when you came here just now?"

The silver-haired girl blinked and said, "Come over here and hold him."

Po Jun: “…………”

"???"

"and then?"

Yaoguang said: "No more."

Pojun grinned, feeling like he had won and lost at the same time. He wanted to roar to the sky and beat his chest with both hands. Li Guanyi asked Lei Laomeng to bring many fruits here, such as jujubes, grapes, and sand apples, and also brought tea. Li Guanyi asked, "Where is Qibili?"

Po Jun said, "He is still handing over military affairs. General Fan Qing and Zhangsun Wuchou are receiving him. He should be here soon. My Lord, just take a seat."

Li Guan nodded, and continued to chat with Pojun about everything, telling him everything he was facing at the moment.

After listening to this, Po Jun thought carefully and said:

"I know the current situation to some extent. Although the lord seems to have established a foothold here, he is still in the vortex." He pointed at the sheepskin map on the table and said, "Although some results have been achieved."

"It can be considered as moving forward step by step, but we need to understand one thing."

"My lord, your purpose in coming here is not to occupy a city-state or rule a land of hundreds or thousands of miles. It is to compete with the Wolf King, to occupy the Western Region, to go downstream, to connect with Jiangnan, and to solve the predicament of Jiangnan."

"Then what Tiance Mansion should do is not to [expand its territory]."

"It's about [restraining the wolf king] and [developing ourselves]."

"We are guests here, we need to turn the tables and harvest more quickly than the Wolf King, only then we have a chance. Now we are just a town, barely enough for us to stay."

"Firstly, the Demon Sect has a deep network in the Western Regions. Now that they know the Lord's location, there will probably be a lot of trouble in the future. The Lord himself is a strong martial artist, so there is no need to worry, but the people who rely on the Lord at this moment can't withstand the Demon Sect's methods."

"It is always said that one should not pursue an enemy who is desperate."

"We can't do that this time. We need to completely drive the Demon Sect out of the vicinity of the Lord and destroy it."

"If we don't seize the opportunity to defeat the Demon Sect, I'm afraid we will face endless troubles."

“This is one of the dangers.”

"Secondly, the forces in the Western Regions are intertwined and intertwined. The reason why you are making such a rapid profit right now is because they haven't reacted to your appearance. Once they do, they will definitely blockade you."

"The products of the Western Regions are few and far between. Once the trade routes are blocked for a long time, it will cause great harm. Within a month, people will be divided. No matter how good the policies are or how great the wishes are, it will be useless if people don't have enough food to eat."

“This is the second danger.”

Po Jun pointed out two current dangers facing the Qilin Army.

Li Guanyi said: "There is a third danger."

The purple-eyed strategist was surprised and asked, "What?"

"Please teach me, my lord. I haven't found it yet."

Li Guanyi snorted for a long time. Nangong Wumeng couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped his hand on the table, raised his phoenix eyes, and said in a majestic manner:
"poverty!!!"

Li Guanyi: “…………”

Po Jun: “…………”

Li Guanyi said, "Yes. The original population of this town plus the population we brought in later is over 20,000. There are also 10,000 captives, which is over 30,000. If we add the Golden Scimitar Cavalry, it will be 40,000."

"It has exceeded the population limit of this town."

"To be honest, even if we send people out to buy food, the food reserves of the entire town are constantly being consumed. The current prosperity of this place cannot support such a large population."

Po Jun thought for a moment and said, "So that's how it is."

"My Lord, you want to take over the Demon Sect's city."

"The capital of the Kingdom of Agni, this country is five or six hundred miles from north to south and four hundred miles from east to west. After the country was destroyed three hundred years ago, until now, the sphere of influence of this big city is still this area. This is the problem I am talking about."

"My lord, we must now capture a fortress-level city."

"Then contact the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce as agreed upon earlier."

Po Jun smiled and said, "After all, the Turks on the grassland have blocked the Xue family's trade route, and now the Chen and Ying countries are fighting non-stop. If a large business family like the Xue family wants to make a living, they can only focus on the Western Regions."

"And isn't it natural for the Western Region Xue Family Chamber of Commerce to reach a cooperation with the Lord, the 'Central Plains Merchant'?"

He picked up a cup and said softly:
"In addition to this, there is also the transaction with the Seven Kings Department, which has not stopped either."

"If you occupy this city, you can trade war horses and swords with the grasslands, and trade salt, iron, tea, and silk with the Central Plains. Then you can use the silk to trade with the leaders of the tribes in the Western Regions, and you will have a firm foothold."

"At that time, it won't be the surrounding forces that are blocking our trade routes, but we will be the ones holding them back."

Li Guanyi paused in thought.

This trade route from Jiangnan to the Western Regions and then to the grassland was randomly decided two years ago.

He was still in Jiangzhou City at that time.

He was just a young man riding a fast horse through the quiet streets of Jiangzhou after the rain, going to the temple to chat with the ancestors, while Pojun came to the capital of the Chen State for the grand sacrifice as a counselor of the seven Turkic kings.

At that time, when Po Jun was chatting with Li Guanyi, who was just a Jinwu Guard, a very inconspicuous move, the Western Region Trade Route, was the core of revitalizing the entire Qilin Army's situation after entering the Western Region.

We have been preparing for this moment two years in advance.

Li Guanyi sighed.

"The help I have from you is more valuable than the help from thousands of soldiers!"

Po Jun shook his head and said, "I can only point out the general trend, but the lord has indeed come here within two years. A wise lord is looking for a counselor, but a peerless genius like me, am I not also looking for someone like you, lord?"

Li Guanyi couldn't help but laugh.

As expected of you, you can easily describe yourself as a peerless genius.

Po Jun touched his chin and said, "However, the style of this Demon Sect is complex and has infiltrated different corners of the entire Western Region. Um, lord, what level do you want?"

"Completely destroy, or partially control?"

"I wonder if the lord wants a battle to destroy the army or a battle to destroy the entire army?"

The purple-eyed strategist sat there calmly, stretched out his finger, and smiled:
"I have three plans."

Li Guan laughed: "Are they all the best strategies?" "Okay."

The young prince stood up, stretched out his hand and grabbed Po Jun's three fingers, then pressed them down and said, "I want the best!"

Po Jun raised his lips and laughed heartily: "Good!"

Li Guanyi and Pojun reunited, and after talking, both felt very happy and refreshed. Li Guanyi finally found his master, and Pojun also had a lord who trusted him completely, so he could use all his means to his heart's content.

When two people get together, it's like a dragon entering the sky or a fish entering the sea, they can give it a try.

According to Pojun's request, Lei Laomeng personally took Pojun to see the situation of the entire town, such as Batur and other tribes, girls like Saatanti, Xiao Dayin's original guard team, and the captured Huyan City Lord's 10,000 rangers.

And Qibili also came over under the leadership of Fan Qing.

Qibili was outside the door, packing his luggage. He was over thirty years old and had a beard. He looked much more mature than when he went to Jiangzhou City two years ago. When he came in, he took off the sharp scimitar. Thinking about meeting Li Guanyi, he felt a little excited.

During the past two years, many legends have been heard from the Western Regions. One said that Li Guanyi of the Jinwu Guard defected to the State of Chen and was hunted down by the whole country. Another said that Li Guanyi passed through Zhenbei City and his life or death was unknown. Later, there was news that he pacified the south of the Yangtze River and was listed on the list of famous generals.

Then, Qin Wuhou became famous and became a powerful official who was scolded by everyone in the Central Plains.

General Tiance, Marquis Qin Wu of Jiangnan, and leader of the Qilin Army.

Traitor, famous general, prince, powerful minister.

I don’t know how long and wonderful these two years have been.

I don’t know what the young Jinwu Guard looked like that day.

Qibili walked forward slowly, stepped into this place, and then saluted, but was supported by a pair of strong arms. Now Qibili's strength, which was at the peak of the fifth level, was unable to shake. He raised his head and saw Li Guanyi, who had an open face and a rather tall figure.

"I, Qibili, pay my respects to my lord..."

"Get up quickly."

Li Guanyi helped up the much more majestic Khan of the Tiele tribe. Having experienced commanding troops, actual combat, and fighting, Qibili was now a completely different person from the young Khan who had traveled thousands of miles to Jiangzhou City two years ago and begged Chen Dingye for help.

He has a strong body, calm brows, large palms, and profound internal strength. Next to him, you can see the Canglang Dharma Image with his eyes lowered.

Li Guanyi was delighted and said, "Qibili, you have worked hard over the past two years."

Qibili responded:

"Following the orders of my lord and the strategy of Mr. Pojun, I have successfully gathered the nine clans of Tiele. Now there are tens of thousands of people in the clan, including ten thousand young and strong men who can wield swords on horseback and are good at archery with both hands. There are three thousand cavalrymen with golden scimitars, all of whom are capable of fighting."

"I know the lord's order, so I came to help."

Qibili was loyal, brave, calm and resolute.

Li Guanyi and Qibili were reminiscing about the past. Qibili lowered his voice and said, "My lord, there is one more thing. Can we talk about it in secret?"

Li Guan nodded and asked the others to leave. He took Qibili to a courtyard here. Fortunately, this was the place of the Demon Sect, so there was no shortage of various secret places. Qibili followed Li Guan, closed the door, reached into his arms and took out something.

It was actually a small cloth bag wrapped in layers. After Qibili opened it, he found a familiar golden royal seal inside, with a tiger as the button. It was small, but carried a sense of awe-inspiring majesty.

Qibi said: "Two years ago, the lord gave me this seal. In the past two years, I have used this seal to gain the trust of the elders of the nine tribes of Tiele, eradicated traitors, evil thieves, and lure out traitors. After going through all kinds of things, I have made the nine tribes of Tiele regain their former glory."

"Now that I see you again, my lord, it is time to return this golden seal to its original owner."

He held the seal in his hand and half-knelt on the ground.

Li Guanyi said: "It is your own ability to integrate the nine clans of Tiele. This royal seal is just the icing on the cake." He wanted to hand over the golden royal seal directly to Qibili, but at this moment, he suddenly felt something.

The Jiuzhou Cauldron in the body emitted bursts of whistling sounds.

The golden royal seal in Li Guanyi's eyes seemed to change. A trace of aura rose from the royal seal, which represented the existence of human destiny. Three hundred years ago, Tuyuhun, the overlord of the Western Regions, unified the Western Regions with thundering means.

He melted the seals of the thirty-six tribes into this royal seal, and ignited the furnace fire with the blood of the leaders of the thirty-six tribes. Sima Ming personally opened the furnace and cast it. This was equivalent to Li Guanyi casting one of the Nine Tripods. It was a tool of the king's way and the country.

Before this, Jiuzhou Ding had not been able to restore its true appearance.

Li Guanyi felt nothing when he saw the Tuyuhun king's seal.

At this moment, he has become the sole ruler of an area with a territory of more than 2,000 miles in radius under his command. He has also cast a tripod. Things are different now, so he can naturally feel the characteristics of the Tuyuhun King's Seal. An idea arises in Li Guanyi's mind.

He raised his hand, and the seal of the Tuyuhun king fell into his palm.

This ancient royal seal seemed to have regained its vitality, lighting up layer by layer. At this moment, a respectful voice came from outside: "Your Highness Qin Wuhou, Khan, we heard that Khan was brought by Your Highness Qin Wuhou to talk, and we want to see Your Highness."

They are the elders and khans of other tribes of the Nine Tiele Clans.

They heard that Qibili and Li Guanyi had come here, and they were worried that Qin Wuhou, who was rumored to be the most powerful official in the Central Plains, would do something to the Khan, so they came. Qibili was surprised, and Li Guanyi said, "Your subordinates are very loyal to you, let them in."

"There is nothing that cannot be seen."

Qibili agreed and turned to open the door. Li Guanyi looked down at the golden tiger king seal on his palm. The Jiuzhou Ding in his body kept roaring, and the golden lines on it, representing the territory of the Western Region, glowed and rose and fell.

This fluctuating flow of light is exactly the same as the aura of the Golden King Seal.

Just as Qibili opened the door, eight generals from the Tiele tribe who were all at the third level of the heaven, and even three of them were at the fourth level of the heaven, came in. Seeing that Qibili was fine, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they originated from the Western Regions, they have their own heritage of Golden Scimitar Cavalry, which is not comparable to ordinary small tribes. They knew that a fierce general would easily be suspected by the overlord, so they came here out of concern. Now they realize that it was a bit rude.

They spoke in unison in the Central Plains dialect with a Western accent:
"We have come to pay our respects to His Highness Qin Wuhou of the Central Plains."

I heard a voice saying, "Come in."

The eight warriors all walked in, but the moment they stepped in, they suddenly felt their breathing stagnate, as if they had stepped into a sticky stream of water. They felt a chill on their spines, as if they were being stared at by some cold and domineering predator.

He slowly raised his head and saw a man from the Central Plains wearing ordinary Western clothing sitting in the main seat. He was playing with the Tuyuhun King's Seal, which was said to have come from the Western Regions, in his right hand. The originally dark Tuyuhun King's Seal seemed to come alive again at this moment.

An indescribable domineering aura slowly rose.

Li Guanyi used the Jiuzhou Ding to pry open the Tuyuhun king's seal.

A layer of patterns on the Jiuzhou Ding that represented the Western Regions slowly flowed onto the Tuyuhun royal seal. Almost immediately, Li Guanyi knew that this royal seal was the gold material that could be used to cast the second of the nine tripods!

It is the proof of the overlord’s achievements back then and the display of his unparalleled hegemony.

Of course I am qualified.

The royal seal he held in his hand was equivalent to a small Jiuzhou Ding!

The Tuyuhun aura hidden in the royal seal rose and dissipated, accompanied by a low tiger roar. The golden scimitar cavalry officers saw that ripples of light appeared beside the Central Plains man, and then a tiger's claw slowly stretched out and fell to the ground.

The atmosphere in the entire secret room became increasingly gloomy and murderous. A huge white tiger image walked out slowly, stretching its body naturally and calmly. It was huge, with a head ten feet high, and slowly lay down beside the young prince.

Qin Wuhou held up the royal seal with his right hand, and his left hand hung calmly, stroking the white tiger's head.

His eyes were calm and deep, and it was unclear what was going on, as if a tyrannical king's figure had distorted and appeared behind him, looking down on them with a domineering and arrogant attitude that was almost branded in the blood of the thirty-six tribes of the Western Regions.

"You are the commanders of the Golden Scimitar Cavalry."

"Thank you for coming to my aid."

! ! ! !
As the voice fell, the eight unruly Western Region generals beside Qibili turned pale. After subconsciously resisting this huge aura, they were finally subdued. They slowly lowered their heads, with surprise and amazement on their faces, which finally turned into respect.

In the cruel atmosphere of the times in the Western Regions, there were no schools of thought. The heroes of the Western Regions would only obey the more domineering and powerful heroes. His face turned pale, but he saluted respectfully behind Qibi Li and said:
"Meet Qin Wuhou."

Li Guanyi said: "Everyone, please stand up."

Everyone stood up then, their expressions no longer as rebellious and casual as at the beginning. After exchanging greetings for a moment, the atmosphere became a little stiff. Qibili bowed and dragged them out to teach them a lesson, while Li Guanyi himself sat inside and waited.

Bored to death, he simply held up the royal seal. At this moment, his soul contacted the sculpture of the Demon Sect not far away. The twisted and blackened human luck gathered by the Demon Sect was hovering above it, and it seemed to be trembling to come here.

Li Guanyi's mind moved slightly, and the human luck on the statue suddenly flew out, then fell from the sky and flew into the Tuyuhun royal seal in Li Guanyi's hand. The royal seal trembled, and the roar of a tiger continued.

Those twisted destinies of humanity were torn apart by the tiger's spirit, swallowed and refined.

The Jiuzhou Cauldron roared incessantly.

On the Tuyuhun royal seal, golden light rippled and fluctuated continuously. Li Guanyi breathed a sigh of relief, confirming that it could be refined, and the speed was extremely fast. In just a moment, the luck was swallowed up by the golden royal seal.

The Jiuzhou Cauldron roared continuously, and Li Guanyi felt this human luck flowing in the Tiger King Seal, and then fell into his body. In an instant, a mysterious feeling emerged in his heart.

Li Guanyi once again felt as if he was standing in the south of the Yangtze River.

A faint but real luck was bestowed upon him. Li Guanyi's own internal strength did not improve, but he had a vague feeling that the strength he could exert at this moment would be stronger than before.

The second tripod...

Li Guanyi paused for a moment and stared at the royal seal in his hand.

Although, it’s not a tripod.

But the general meaning is about the same.

The second Humane Instrument, the Instrument of the State that was temporarily used to replace the Jiuzhou Ding, was completed. Li Guanyi was in a good mood, and immediately felt a connection just like the connection between the Jiuzhou Ding in Jiangnan and the Ancient Red Dragon, and he felt another weak connection in the Golden King Seal.

It's like there is a red button in front of you.

Li Guanyi couldn't help it and pressed it consciously.

This connection was transmitted instantly.

On the sacred mountain of the Dangxiang State——

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer, who was taking a short rest, felt something.

He opened his eyes impatiently, looked around with wide eyes, and found a familiar aura, and was very surprised: "Huh???"

"Why is it you again?!"

"Didn't we just gather more than a thousand people from the Western Regions..."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer glanced in the direction of his sensation, nonchalantly, and a little sleepy. Then, with just this one glance, the casualness on the Nine-Colored Divine Deer's face solidified bit by bit.

"Um???"

"What's going on?! No, weren't there only a thousand people just now?"

"How come there are tens of thousands of people all of a sudden?"

"How many years have I slept for?! Or more than ten years?!"

When the Nine-Colored Divine Deer's thoughts were a little stuck, she suddenly realized that something was wrong. This time the sensation was not one-way, because the young man seemed to have made contact with her as well. She slowly raised her head and felt that the young man smiled at her.

"hello."

"Nine-colored divine deer."

The young man smiled brightly: "Finally..."

"meet again."

The expression on the face of the Nine-Colored Deer was frozen:
"Um??!!!"
