We have to do it no matter how hard it is, and we have to do it even if we have to bite the bullet!

It was obvious at a glance that the wandering Taoist priest was even more rebellious and vicious than General Jiang, and he could not afford to sacrifice all the soldiers and civilians in the Seven Star City.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

This was the first time that a civil official was used as a military general. Fortunately, although the high-level generals in Qixing City were gone, the middle and low-level generals were still there, and the order of the lower-level soldiers was relatively stable.

The good news is that Lin Xingzhi does not need to go to the front line and fight face to face with the enemy soldiers; the bad news is that Lin Xingzhi cannot go to the capital for the time being, and can only rely on his ability to command troops and resist the enemy's attack.

The armies of both sides have gathered in the border area, and a devastating war is about to break out.

Lin Xingzhi put on the special armor he brought with him and entered the front-line military tent with Taoist Changsheng.

"Your Highness, the court has just sent an urgent letter. Please review it."

After saying this, Taoist Changsheng took out a sealed letter from his arms.

Lin Xingzhi immediately opened the letter and quickly scanned the contents. "The Emperor has already sent two generals to come here. To prevent the enemy from becoming desperate, we must stay here for a while."

It was not clearly stated how long this period of time was, but Lin Xingzhi was certain that they would not be able to leave before the two generals personally appointed by the emperor arrived.

Both Lin Xingzhi and Taoist Changsheng were mentally prepared for this.

The letter sent over now is just to put their thoughts into practice. In other words, even if they temporarily take over the military position, it can be said to be justified.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the best way to fight an enemy is to remain still until the enemy is able to move.

If the two sides were to engage in combat, they should try to keep it within a certain range. "Because such small-scale combat can be handled by mid- and low-level generals with experience, once a semi-full-scale or full-scale war breaks out, it will test the high-level generals' ability to lead troops and make strategic plans.

There are obvious vacancies in their senior positions, and it will take some time for the new transferees to arrive. The conservative approach is to avoid escalating conflicts, otherwise they can only pray that Lin Xingzhi's empty talk will really work.

"What Taoist Changsheng said is what I think," Lin Xingzhi was also unwilling to challenge the high-difficulty copy.

The two looked at each other with smiles and quickly reached a tacit understanding in their hearts.

call

At least there is no need to worry about internal strife due to disagreements. The next step is to wait until the enemy country can no longer bear it and wants to attack and annex the territory belonging to the Li country.

"Don't worry, as long as we're not stupid, both sides will try to exercise restraint," Shen Yao rolled her eyes at the impatient and volatile system, indicating that a fight on the border wouldn't break out just yet.

When the Li Kingdom was on the decline, the Seven Star City was able to hold its own. Now that the Li Kingdom has recovered most of its strength, there is no reason why the Seven Star City could be occupied by the enemy.

"When will Lin Xingzhi and the others return?" Shen Yao rolled her eyes again at the system's question.

"Wait until the border is stable and there is no more friction between the two sides." An army must have a leader in charge. Lin Xingzhi is the most suitable candidate in Qixing City in terms of both family background and official position. Even if he knows nothing about it, he has to sit in the military tent as a mascot.

The system uttered an "oh" and then curiously watched the conflict between the soldiers on both sides at the border for a while. The result disappointed it. What was going on? A 1vs1 turn-based game?

Shen Yao:......

"When you have nothing to do, go and visit Qixing City more often. General Jiang reminded us before that we can't jump to conclusions based on appearances," Shen Yao said meaningfully, implying that there are still many people in Qixing City who are not worthy of their reputation and have not been exposed.

system:……

The system got inspiration from the host's words and decided to pay more attention to the people in Seven Star City while paying attention to the battlefield.

Yes

General Jiang, a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, keeps a demon in his backyard. Who knows if there are other demons in the homes of other soldiers?

As for soldiers, they have abundant yang energy and are full of energy, making them the most suitable for fox demons, snake demons and other monsters who like to absorb yang to replenish yin and cultivate themselves.

The system joyfully promised the host that if it discovered anything, it would definitely tell her in detail. Then it turned around and happily began to process for free, not feeling tired at all.

This two-pronged approach allowed the system to discover everything that happened in Seven Star City.

For example, there are quite a few goblins in the city, and most of them are hiding in a secluded residence. From time to time, soldiers on leave come here to relax.

These little goblins come from different tribes, and they dare to do this because they have someone in power.

Wow, this is really taking the practice of replenishing yin as a serious business. As long as you know what to do and don't cause any loss of life, no one will pay attention to it.

The system complained to the host, saying that if this continued, it would be no less harmful than the evil spirits. That is, the evil spirits were exposed too early, allowing them to become invisible. Otherwise, they would have been caught and detained by the old man of immortality.

'Master Changsheng and the prince are concentrating all their efforts on dealing with the border conflict, so they can still enjoy themselves for a while.' The recovery rate of Yang Qi is slower than the consumption rate, and the morale of the soldiers is affected, which in turn leads to serious mistakes during the war. How could Master Changsheng, who is an expert in this field, not notice such a big problem?

Previously, the evil spirit disaster had a huge impact and directly claimed the lives of many soldiers.

The loss of yang energy is different from the loss of vitality. At that time, Taoist Changsheng was focusing on the great evil. After the disaster of the evil spirit was resolved, this person should have dealt with other minor evils. As a result, a conflict occurred on the border, which attracted Taoist Changsheng's attention again.

Raising her eyebrows, Shen Yao changed her posture and leaned against the couch, next to which was a half-open window. Three children were playing in the yard.

Glancing at the three children, Shen Yao thought that the two sides had been in a standoff at the border for half a month.

The two generals who came from the capital on horseback had also completed half of the journey. After carefully calculating the time, they were afraid that they would have to stay for another two or three months.

Well

After calling out to the servants waiting outside the door, Shen Yao stood up and sat in front of the dressing table to let them dress her up. Two or three months was still too long.

"So the host intends to take action himself and restore peace to Seven Star City?"

Shen Yao:......

You said it very well, don’t say it again next time!

'Yes, there is a reward, but it's still too little compared to Danxia City and Yuanshui City.' It didn't even look at a system that values ​​money like its life. The host who usually had to rely on it to beg for extra rewards would now take the initiative to talk about extra rewards, which really surprised Tong!

"I'm bored. I haven't exercised for a long time. It's a good opportunity to practice with these little goblins in front of me," Shen Yao said with a smile on her face, turned around and disappeared on the spot.

The servants and children who followed out had no reaction, except for Lin Shengjing who suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Ok?

He scratched his head in confusion. Before he could think too much, Lin Shengyan and Lin Shengjue called him over. Looking at the plates of delicious pastries and sweets, Lin Shengjing's mind was instantly occupied. What flash of inspiration? What sudden realization? None of them were as important as these pink pastries before him.

When Shen Yao appeared again, she had already arrived at the residential area marked by the system.

It was as quiet as expected, with a faint demonic aura floating in the air.

Without any cover, Shen Yao just stepped forward. A white light film appeared out of thin air, penetrating the sky and covering the entire area. Shen Yao just stepped forward lightly, and a demonic aura that was several times denser than outside rushed towards her.

Shen Yao:......

Fortunately, I was mentally prepared. This soul-locking net was set up here to block these evil spirits.

Another collusion between humans and demons?

"Host, are we really not going to hide? It's easy for them to see us."

The system was worried. Shouldn't it be careful to find out the strength of both sides carefully when it comes to the first visit, and then make a careful plan to catch the other side in one fell swoop?

Why is the host letting himself go more and more? If he walks straight in, what if he gets beaten up by these little goblins?

Even a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

"It's good that we ran into them. We didn't come here to deal with these little goblins who know nothing." It has always been the case that the leader should be captured first. These little goblins are just tools used by the forces behind the scenes to replenish their yin. After we defeat them, they will start a new business somewhere else.

In order to prevent this from happening, Shen Yao must of course start from the source.

System: ...Oh

He just relied on his own strength to do whatever he wanted, just like when he was in Danxia City, the Wuxia Temple there was destroyed in the same way.

"You are a woman, why are you here?"

A little demon with a face full of black hair appeared in front of them. It had vertical pupils and a short tail stuck behind it. Its height was only up to Shen Yao's waist.

It looks a little cute, but in front of ordinary people, it is a fierce monster that can kill a large number of them in one move.

Monsters are never judged by appearance. What matters is how well they use their monster energy and the level of their magic.

Some monsters look cute, but are actually extremely cruel; some monsters are ferocious and evil, but can only cry behind their backs; and some monsters have a low sense of presence, but often do bad things...

As Shen Yao followed Lin Xingzhi along the way, what she saw most were various monsters with extremely contrasting looks, and she even killed quite a few of them with her own hands.

"Hey, I'm asking you a question! Why don't you answer?"

This is a black bear demon cub, and it started threatening without saying a few words.

Shen Yao glanced around, revealed its identity, and told it to find a demon that could make the decision. "Remember to find a good place to hide later. Be careful not to get hurt by mistake."

Black Bear Demon: ...

The goblin knows the current situation best. A cub like it definitely cannot beat the beautiful woman in gold and silver in front of it, huh!

He turned around and went to find the manager of this area, a stuttering wild boar demon. The black bear demon did not forget to discredit Shen Yao in front of the other party.

The only thing missing is to stick the three words "fight" on your forehead.

Wild Boar Demon: ...

"Alright, this king already knows about this matter, you should get back to work!"

The wild boar demon usually ate and slept, and occasionally when he was bored, he would go find those little demons to have fun. After hearing the black bear demon's exaggerated report, he didn't take Shen Yao, who was looking for trouble, seriously at all.

Hehe hehe

What a messy woman! King Black Wind will make sure she never comes back!

However, the moment he saw Shen Yao, the wild boar demon changed his plan. Such a beautiful woman? Of course, he would keep her for his use.

"Wow, this wild boar demon has such a big face." He really dares to think and act. The system admires him.

"How about it? If you stay, you can enjoy the best food and drink with me. This is a good thing that other monsters can't ask for."

The wild boar demon waved the mace in his hand and became impatient when he saw that Shen Yao didn't say anything.

"I can't afford such a good thing. Black Wind King, keep it for yourself."

Wild Boar Demon: ...

Hey, you are so shameless that you don’t know how to appreciate the favor I gave you. Don’t blame the Black Wind King for killing you.

The wild boar demon rushed forward waving his mace, and immediately a strong wind and waves arose on the ground, blowing all the paved stone slabs away.

Shen Yao jumped up the moment the stone slab flew away, turned over easily, and stepped on the wild boar monster's head.

The wild boar demon swung the mace in his hand upwards. Shen Yao just snorted lightly, stepped back with force, and moved again when the other party attacked.

One chasing, one fleeing, one running, one jumping.

The wild boar demon was bulky and slow, and no matter how hard it tried, it could not catch up with Shen Yao. It became even more frustrated when Shen Yao slipped away from it.

The black bear demon who was hiding not far away saw this scene and suddenly remembered Shen Yao's reminder to hide, and immediately buried his head in digging a hole in the corner of the underground wall.

The good building was smashed and collapsed by the wild boar demon with his mace, and the little goblins hiding inside had to run out to escape.

Those who already had guests were the most unlucky. They were the most affected by the fight between the two sides, and some even had their lives in danger.

The power behind the scenes: ...

"Are you still here fighting with me? Why don't you change monsters?" Shen Yao was floating in the air, dressed in gorgeous clothes, looking rich and beautiful, without even a trace of sweat.

On the other hand, the wild boar demon on the opposite side, after returning to its original form, lay on the ground gasping for breath, obviously no match for Shen Yao.

"Hmm hum hum!"

The wild boar said a few words in its original voice, then stood up and used the wild boar charge again, but Shen Yao easily resolved it with just a raise of her hand.

"Those people and monsters watching aren't going to show up yet?" Shen Yao asked, and without waiting for the system to react, she kicked the wild boar monster into the building.

Various small demons kept running out of the collapsed building. Shen Yao snorted coldly, "Since they won't come out, then force them to come out."

Shen Yao no longer held back, but took ruthless action directly, and left here feeling satisfied.

system:……

The situation here was reported to Lin Xingzhi and Taoist Changsheng who were still on the front line as soon as it was discovered.

Before Lin Xingzhi could say anything, Taoist Changsheng pinched his beard and thought that he was another chivalrous man, who was truly his benefactor.

Lin Xingzhi: ...

He was roughly certain that it was his wife who did it. Lin Xingzhi felt warm but also a little worried. The more times she did it, the easier it would be to be exposed. He didn't want anything to happen to his wife.

"Master Changsheng, the most important thing for us right now is the stability of the border. Let's have people closely monitor this matter first, and we can deal with it if we find anything."

"Very good, very good. I think it's not a bad thing for Seven Star City, so there's no need to be overly nervous."

Both of them had different thoughts, but their ultimate goal was the same. Not only did no one take this matter too seriously, they also tacitly tried their best to cover up the traces of Shen Yao's actions.

Shen Yao just casually finished what she thought was a small matter, and there was no change in her daily life. However, the soldiers and civilians who had lived in Qixing City all year round were in better spirits and had more sufficient qi and blood.
