The Bad Man was nearly dead at the beginning and was picked up by Yang Shuzi and taken home

At this time, Li Maozhen regained his senses and looked at the sky absent-mindedly, as if he was thinking of his past memories.

-

"Brother, you must keep your word! The people of Qi are handed over to you.

Otherwise, I will give up writing and join the army, like Princess Pingyang Zhao, a woman who is as brave as a man! "

-

"Brother Wang, come and look at my paintings!"

"In the future, I will paint these vast mountains and rivers!"

"I want to paint the love between ordinary couples!"

"I also want to draw my parents and siblings living in peace with the world, and the people living and working in peace and contentment..."

"I want to travel to all places outside of Qi and paint all the different forms of life and the colorful flowers I see!"

"I want to find the companionship and endless romance that I long for..."

-

"You really want to leave?! Why?"

"For Qi Country!"

"The Twelve Caves is just a legend. Do you really want to abandon everyone for a fictitious place?!"

"No, Twelve Caves is not a legend. This secret is only known to me and Bad Commander. The final clue to the Longquan treasure is hidden in a treasure box, and only the people of Twelve Caves can unlock the holy Gu that guards the treasure box."

"But by the time you find the Twelve Caves, the treasure box will have been taken away!"

"Then let the world fight for me first! Anyway, even if they get it first, no one can open it!"

"What about Huanyinfang?"

"have you."

"What about Qiguo?"

"After I leave, you will be King Qi..."

……

-

"Long live King Qi!!!"

"Long live King Qi!!!"

"Long live King Qi!!!"

……

-

"When I return, Qi will be the only one!"

-

As he missed her, a tear actually flowed out of the corner of his eye, as if he had realized the stupid things he had done over the years.

In the past, Wang Mei and the people of Qi State were happy every day with smiles on their faces. I can’t imagine what kind of life they are living now and how painful it must be.

'What have I done all these years?'

After a while, Li Maozhen spoke again: "Is the princess... okay?"

Anton Jun was moved when he saw him like this, but the emotion quickly dissipated, and he said in a sarcastic tone:

"For your so-called title of King Qi, she gave up everything she had. For so many years, she has taken care of Qi State, Huanyinfang, the people, and the loyalty in her heart, but she has never taken care of herself! And this is all thanks to you, Your Highness King Qi!"

"So...when did she marry you?"

"No, she hasn't agreed to be with me yet."

Li Maozhen was confused at first, then suddenly realized, and then joked:

"Then you...oh~you wouldn't hit me because of this, right?"

"Haha... you guessed it right. It's because of you that she has never been her true self in all these years. That's why I just can't stand you."

Anton-kun said it very frankly.

There are some reasons but not many. In fact, Anton Jun knows that it is not Li Maozhen's fault. As long as she is in troubled times, especially as Li Maozhen's sister, she can't escape the vortex of power.

Especially in the sixth season, when Qi Kingdom was gone, I finally thought I could break free from the shackles and live the life I wanted, but in the blink of an eye I was imprisoned in that position again. Now that I am here, I must not let that happen.

Another reason is Yuan Tiangang. If Li Maozhen had not gone to Raojiang, he might have been half killed by Yuan Tiangang ten years ago.

Moreover, this guy in the original work was also very miserable. He was obviously patient, tenacious, powerful, ambitious, and skillful. He traveled to Raojiang for the sake of Qi State, refined the Life-Destroying Gu and lived a life worse than death. He endured humiliation for sixteen years, but was eventually plotted against by Yuan Tiangang and ended up dead.

But Anton Jun was really angry, and after thinking about it, he found no one to vent his anger, so he beat Li Maozhen. Of course, when he becomes stronger, he will also find Gangzi to fight.

"You...Okay, but thank you! You made me think things through. It turns out that I was really wrong. I was completely wrong!"

Li Maozhen said very seriously.

Anton Jun never expected that his brother-in-law would actually admit his mistake.

"Hehe, you can apologize to her yourself when you get back."

"But it's hard for us to get out of these twelve caves."

"Don't worry, I came here for this purpose, to change the rules of the Twelve Caves and bring them under my command and use them for my own purposes."

Li Maozhen frowned, "What do you want to do?"

Anton Jun said calmly: "In a few days, I will fight with those old guys from Twelve Caves and beat them into submission."

Li Maozhen looked into his eyes and felt that he was not joking, so he continued to ask: "How confident are you, do you need my help?"

"100%! I have seen all twelve cave masters. The last time I met them, I estimated that only two of them were in the middle stage of the Divine Sky Realm, and the others were in the late stage or peak stage of the Great Heaven Realm."

"I brought two corpse ancestors with me this time. One of them can fight. He can help me block two. You can help me fight two more. I am confident that I can take down the remaining eight."

Li Maozhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Fortunately, he didn't want to fight them all alone.

"That's possible, but what happens next?"

"Once you conquer the Twelve Caves, Raojiang will naturally not be a problem. After that, you will secretly lead a team from Raojiang to Tubo and Dangxiang."

"Why these two places? Aren't you going back to Qi Country?"

"It's not the right time yet. If you go back, old man Yuan Tiangang will definitely find out. Then not only you will be in danger, but also Zhao Zhao."

"All right……"

Li Maozhen's tone darkened.

At this time, Anton Jun also slowly explained the reason why Li Maozhen wanted to go to Tubo and Dangxiang.

"Right now, the Tubo tribes and the Dangxiang are fighting fiercely, which means they don't have the extra ability and energy to resist the invasion of a powerful army. Therefore, I need you to lead your troops to conquer all those areas."

"And the areas occupied by Tubo and Dangxiang are extremely important. There are three reasons why I want you to go there."

"First, we need the Silk Road, which will allow us to trade with foreign countries. Things from the Central Plains are very valuable there, and Qi State happens to be short of money right now."

"Secondly, after conquering that place, we can add a lot of soldiers and horses to Qi State. Qi State is not in a good situation now. With the help of the three major regions of Tubo, Dangxiang and Raojiang, Qi State can become the most powerful vassal state in the Central Plains."

"Third, it is to avoid Yuan Tiangang. It is impossible for you to waste time here. His eyes are now on the princes of the Central Plains, so he may not care about what is happening over there. And although it is not the right time for you to return to Qi, you can also secretly help Qi in the Western Regions."

"There is one last reason. Because those two places are less difficult, there is also the least possibility of bad people infiltrating there. I believe you can do it easily. By the way, if necessary, you can take the Twelve Caves with you."

"No need to be polite when we get there. Just use the Gu eggs to control the top brass. Their loyalty is not necessary, and I don't care. I just want their money and soldiers. Once I gain power, I can gradually replace them with my own people."

At this point, Li Maozhen actually saw a rare hint of ruthlessness in An Dongjun's eyes.

Then I heard Anton-kun say:

"In fact, I even hope that you can go to Mobei and stir up some trouble. The Khan there, Yelu Abaoji, and his brother Yelu Cige, are not getting along. If you have time, go to Mobei and help them stir up trouble." (In December of the third year of Tianyou, Khan Hendejin died. It is said that he nominated Abaoji as Khan in his will. Of course, there are other versions, but I will use this one here)

“It’s funny to say that the outside world is just as unstable as the Central Plains, but few of the Central Plains princes have the extra energy to conquer them, and those who have the energy are all afraid of the surrounding forces. But this is also our opportunity.

I disrupted Yuan Tiangang's original plan, so now you are also a variable."

Originally I wanted to make Mobei as chaotic as possible. After all, they will be enemies in the future, and it will be impossible for them to have an easy time. When they are in chaos enough, I will let my brother-in-law be the savior and get Abaoji's daughter.

Abaoji's daughter is called Yelu Zhiwu. In the anime, she is the great shaman of Mobei, so she can also control the power of Mobei. But after thinking about it, Yelu Zhiwu seems to be too young at this time, so she gave up this idea. (Yelu Zhiwu was 15 years old when she appeared in the sixth season)

Moreover, that involves the Great Shaman of Mobei, and might even involve that guy Duokuohuo. After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. I don't know her yet, and it would be troublesome if she is the same person as Gangzi.

Li Maozhen's opinion of him had already improved after what happened just now. Now, after hearing this plan, he liked this brother-in-law even more.

"It's a very good plan, but there's a saying that goes, if you take too big a step, you'll get hurt. Mobei is too far away, so let's take it step by step. What about you? What do you do?"

"That's right, you can deal with Tubo and Dangxiang first, and it doesn't matter if you don't go to Mobei.

As for me, after I defeat the Twelve Cave Lords, I will soak in the God of War Elixir."

Hearing his words, Li Maozhen sat up instantly and said excitedly: "No! That ancient method is very evil, you know..."

Before he finished speaking, Anton interrupted him and started explaining to him.

"It is impossible to negotiate with Yuan Tiangang without sufficient strength. Only by doing this can I hope to defeat him."

"You...sigh..."

"Don't worry! Trust me."

Li Maozhen's expression was complicated, as if he had not expected that he would do this for Qi State. He stood up and bowed, saying:

"I am here to thank you on behalf of Qi and its people!"

An Dongjun interrupted in time: "Hey, don't flatter me. I'm doing this for Zhao Zhao and me. If you want to be the emperor, then be the emperor. I'll take her to travel around the world and never care about these trivial matters again."

Li Maozhen found his inconsistency very interesting, and then he smiled and said, which was rare:

"Hahahaha, okay, can you tell me the story of you and Wang Mei? I want to hear it..."

When An Dongjun talked about Li Zhaozhao, his face immediately softened: "You and Zhaozhao really look alike. You are beautiful when you smile too!"

Li Maozhen seemed to have been touched by something, and his hair stood on end. He said in surprise, "Hey, you are a pervert, don't you? Pay attention to your image!"

For a moment, Li Maozhen's painting style also became funny. It was also true that Li Zhaozhao used to be a lively and lovely girl. From memory, I know that his brother was not so serious and boring before. Maybe he has relaxed now and rarely revealed his true face.

Anton rolled his eyes at him and complained about him.

"You're such a weird person, I'm not praising you."

Then he continued to look at the sky, thinking far away, "That day, I met her in Qinghe Village..."

……

After having a heart-to-heart talk with Li Maozhen for a long time, Anton Jun returned to his residence and talked to the old man about the decisive battle. The old man thought that after all these years, except for that old guy, this was the first time that someone dared to openly oppose the Twelve Caves, which was also interesting.

A cave in Twelve Caves

The Eleventh Cave Lord: "Big Cave Lord, what do you think of what that kid An Dongjun meant?"

The chief cave master said: "Let's see him. If he can beat us, it doesn't matter if we gamble with him. Anyway, no matter who loses between him and Yuan Tiangang, we will all benefit."

Lord Sandong: "But if he wins, do we really want to break the rules of Twelve Dongs?"

Li Zhen: "Hahaha, since we lost, we have no right to bargain with them. It's not the first time we've broken the rules anyway."

Everyone: "..."

Li Xuan: "They can just play hardball. They're already good enough to discuss it with us. They're giving us face. Who would come to our house to give notice before a fight? Don't you think it's interesting?"

Everyone: “That makes sense…”
