After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Wizard Rama tried many methods, even taking off the bull's head hanging on his crutch.

If it wasn't an extremely difficult divination, he wouldn't use this ox skull.

After a long time, Rama Pusuan stopped, with a worried look on his face, not knowing how to tell Bater about this woman.

"Wu Father, if you have something to say, just speak frankly!"

Rama covered his chest with one hand, trying to hold back the fishy-sweet taste in his throat, and spoke.

“Your Majesty, this woman’s name is Lin Ting, but the wise eyes in the portrait do not resemble the demeanor of the person she is now.

Combined with my previous calculation, according to her face and name, she..."

Rama has an indescribable feeling towards Lin Ting. He can clearly see the secrets of heaven, but he cannot see Lin Ting's fate.

"How is she?" asked Bartel!

"In short, this woman is not like ordinary people. If you get her, you can get the world!"

This sentence left Bater stunned for a long time, and his eyes slowly returned to Lin Ting's portrait again.

The eyes that originally only contained murderous intent were suddenly filled with ambition.

"King, this girl has already surrendered to the Dongxia Kingdom. If you can't get her, kill her to prevent future trouble."

This was Rama's advice to Bater, and he also advised him to be cautious about going to war with the Dongxia Kingdom.

Regardless of whether those businessmen were killed or not, this matter was a very bad omen. If he wanted to have a chance of survival, it would depend on Bater's own luck.

Bater did not let those merchants go. He shot them to death and hung their bodies on the wall for three days to provoke the Dongxia Kingdom.

Since then, some merchants who have not been able to escape from Xiluo have been in a panic.

Some people also used money to bribe others and slipped away quietly.

The Xiluo people reorganized their army, and only then did Bater realize that the Xiluo soldiers, who were originally as fierce as tigers, had lost their will to fight.

Xiluo had not fought a war for more than two years, and fox hunting could earn money, so many soldiers in the army would go out fox hunting.

They already had advantages over farmers, and fox hunting was easy for them. It only took them two years to do so. They had not practiced battlefield formations and had long lost the desire to fight.

Now that life is good, there is money at home, and everyone has enough food to eat, Xiluo has driven away all the merchants from Dongxia.

The good opportunities to earn money are now gone. Many soldiers are in a bad mood and don't want to fight anymore.

Some people even thought that they should deliberately lose to the Dongxia Kingdom so that the Dongxia Kingdom could continue to come to Xiluo to do business, and they could continue to hunt foxes and make money.

"Soldiers, Dongxia wants to annex Xiluo. This is a great shame and humiliation. You are the eagles of Xiluo. You must use your strength to protect Xiluo. Don't be deceived by appearances.

The Dongxia Kingdom seems to be trying to destroy us. Today, I will go out with you to destroy the Dongxia Kingdom and teach them a lesson."

Bater led the troops personally and didn't think there was anything wrong at first, but the mentality of the soldiers in the army was completely different from before, and he realized how terrible Lin Ting's plan was.

That woman is so good at taking advantage of people's hearts. If this situation hadn't been discovered early, it would have been over.

In Xiro, Battelle issued an order that deserters would bring their entire family into trouble.

If not for this, his army would no longer be the Xiluo army.

During the period of departure, Bai E was used to encourage the soldiers in the army, and they felt a little more lively.

But even so, his Dongxia Kingdom is no match for Xiluo.

Bai E held the declaration of war, hesitating and refusing to leave the tent.

"Your Majesty, do we have to issue this declaration of war? We have signed a twenty-year alliance with the Dongxia Kingdom. During these twenty years, Xiluo can live a good life."

Bai E didn't like fighting. He remembered that the king sent troops because he was instigated by Xiao Chu.

Xiluo is doing so well now, with enough food and drink, and the people are living happily, but all this was broken by Xiao Chu.

"Lord Bai E, if you don't fight now and enjoy the peaceful life for the next twenty years, Xi Luo will be put on the chopping board and slaughtered in the future. Do you want to see Xi Luo like this?"

Xiao Chu was telling the truth. This was Lin Ting’s plan. If they resisted now, they still had a chance of survival.

Bater gave Bai'e a cold look and made up his mind: "Bai'e, I don't want to say it again."

Bai E bowed his head, saluted Bater, and went out to issue a declaration of war to the Dongxia Kingdom.

After several days of marching, the Xiluo army was finally about to arrive at the border town. The entire army was ready for battle, thinking that it would be a thrilling battle.

When we arrived at the border town, we found that the city gate was closed, there was not a single soldier on the city wall, and all the Dongxia soldiers who had been guarding here were gone.

Bater ordered the army to stop, feeling that there was an ambush in the city before them, and it was impossible that there was no one there.

"Xiao Chu, what's going on?"

Looking at the border town without soldiers, Xiao Chu was also confused. Logically speaking, the Dongxia Kingdom would rather die in battle than cede the city.

Xiao Jingchuan had clearly received Bater's declaration of war, so why didn't he come out to protect the border city when the Xiluo troops were already at the gates?

"Your Majesty, could it be that Xiao Jingchuan heard that you were personally leading the troops and is afraid and hiding himself?"

Bater turned around and pointed at the two Xiluo soldiers.

"You two, come closer and see what's going on?"

There was fear in the eyes of the two Xiluo soldiers, but they still followed the order and stepped out of the line, trotting towards the gate of the border town.

The army was waiting behind, and if there was any trickery, these two soldiers would know it when they got there.

But Bater looked at the two soldiers and saw that they had no problem running all the way to the city gate. The two men pushed the gate open effortlessly and the gate opened just like that.

Moreover, when looking from outside the city, there was not a single civilian to be seen inside, as if it were an empty city.

Seeing this, one of the soldiers ran back to report.

"Your Majesty, there's no one in the border town, not even soldiers. The civilians have been evacuated. From the roadside, it looks like a deserted town."

Empty city?

Bater had no idea what Dongxia was up to. They had been acting so abnormally in recent years.

Although the border town is not rich, it is large and an indispensable part of the Dongxia Kingdom. It should not be abandoned.

Moreover, it has been well protected by the Dongxia people for hundreds of years. Now that living conditions have improved, they should not abandon it.

"Your Majesty, please send a team of men in to investigate. Something is amiss. This anomalous behavior is what Lin Ting likes to do. I'm afraid she's setting a trap for you, Your Majesty."

It’s Lin Ting again!

This woman, a businessman and the wife of an official, could gain the trust of the Emperor of Dongxia Kingdom.

"A Ying, take a team of people in to investigate. If you catch anyone, bring them directly to see me."

"Yes!"

Aying is Bater's most proud subordinate, and in terms of military skills, he is no less capable than Saren.

Aying led his men into the border town and checked the streets, all corners, and the camp where the army had been stationed before, but found no one.

This empty city, except for the rats, is eerily quiet.

"Reporting to the king, there is no one in the border town, and the border troops have withdrawn."

Aying told the truth. He checked very carefully, even to the cellar where people might be hiding, but still no one was there.
