Seeing Li Tianxing, Qi Feihong, who was still injured but obviously in good spirits, was the first to say: "We meet again, have you been well since we said goodbye?"
Li Tianxing smiled slightly: "It's not bad. I traveled around the mountains and rivers and visited old friends. I didn't feel bored at all. But I still miss the king a little, so I came here to visit the king and ask for a drink."
Qi Feihong poured a glass of wine with his own hands and handed it to Li Tianxing: "Enough wine."
Li Tianxing did not answer, but said: "I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Qilin City, I accidentally found three people who wanted to kill you. They plotted to assassinate you, so I followed them to find the mastermind behind the scenes and help you solve it. A potential danger. Unfortunately, I still underestimated the mastermind behind the scenes. He did not come forward personally, but directly ordered them to assassinate you. I saw you were injured just now, and I should have intervened to stop you, but these two people had other methods. It's enough to endanger your life. When I saw someone rescuing you, I killed them first. I'm really sorry for not telling you in advance and causing you to get hurt."
Qi Feihong smiled and said: "You helped me stop them, which is already a great help. How can you not stop me? Thank you for your help."
Li Tianxing then stretched out his hand to take the wine from Qi Feihong's hand, drank it in one gulp, and said, "What are you going to do with them? By the way, I forgot to introduce you. These two people were originally under the command of the Immortal Golden Immortal. Jinxian was ordered to come and assassinate the king. Most of them are people from the lower three sects, and their methods are very sinister. Except for the person who used Gu before, these two people are good at using poison and the other is good at hidden weapons. They are both good assassins. "
Qi Feihong looked at the man and woman and asked slowly: "What are your names?"
The man and woman glanced at Qi Feihong, and the man said: "Since we are in your hands, it's up to you whether you want to kill us or cut us into pieces. What are you talking about?"
The woman's eyes were sharp, implying hostility: "You killed my brother, what else do you want me to tell you? Stop dreaming!" This woman's temperament was very fierce, and when she spoke, her eyes looked like they could kill someone.
Qi Feihong saw that these two people did not look like people who could be persuaded, so he waved his hand and said: "Leave it to the Criminal Department for strict interrogation and deal with it in accordance with the criminal law."
Duguxue responded "yes", and two of his subordinates immediately stepped forward and took the man and woman away. When everyone saw that the matter had been resolved and the banquet could not continue, they all left one after another. Everyone wanted Qi Feihong to rest and fully recover from his injuries.
Qi Feihong had no intention of drinking with everyone at this time. He just talked to Li Tianxing and Qi Yan, asking them to stay and have a good chat with him about the assassination. Li Tianxing and Qi Yan told Qi Feihong that this time the Immortal Golden Immortal was different from before. He sent people to assassinate Qi Feihong in order to destroy the Qilin Kingdom and occupy the existing cities of the Qilin Kingdom.
This is a change from light to dark, a change in strategy. The Immortal Golden Immortal must have realized something. He knew that the chance of war with the Qilin Kingdom was not high, so it would be better to assassinate Qilin Kingdom's senior officials like Qi Feihong to collapse the Qilin Kingdom's defense.
Qi Feihong was no stranger to this type of approach, and he didn't think there was anything wrong. He just ordered to strengthen the defense of the Imperial Palace, and at the same time he also increased his vigilance.
Qi Feihong chatted with Li Tianxing and Qi Yan for more than an hour before sending them off personally. Li Tianxing and Qi Yan decided to stay in Qilin Kingdom temporarily and stay in Qilin City to prevent the Immortal Golden Immortal from sending people to assassinate Qi Feihong again.
Qi Feihong was very grateful to Li Tianxing and Qi Yan, and his view of Li Tianxing had changed. He thought that Li Tianxing had changed. He at least cared about friendship and was no longer the old leader of the Qilin Clan who was bent on revenge.
When Qi Feihong returned to the room, he realized that Tian Xizi, Tian Feifei and Qian Zhirou were still waiting for him. Qi Feihong knew that the three of them were worried about him, so he smiled and told them that he was fine and reassured them, but Tian Xizi still said bluntly: "Feihong, you must not drink too much in the future. Drinking too much will hurt your body and cause trouble. It scared us today and we don't want anything like this to happen again."
Qi Feihong had no choice but to promise Tian Xizi that he would not drink too much in the future. He is not a drinker to begin with, he just drinks a lot recently just to socialize, and he almost misses important events because of it. Tian Xizi's move was also for his own good, and he had no reason not to agree.
Seeing Qi Feihong's personal assurance, Tian Sizi asked how Qi Feihong's injury was. His concern was palpable, as if he wished he could hurt Qi Feihong. The same was true for Tian Feifei and Qian Zhirou. The three women surrounded Qi Feihong, all acting gentle and considerate.
Qi Feihong's injuries have actually healed for the most part. After the poisonous insects were removed, the essence, blood and spiritual power that was sucked away were repaired with the Nine Tribulations Magic Technique and Qilin Heart Technique. At this time, he was almost healed. However, Tian Xizi and others were still worried about Qi Feihong's injury. They were extremely gentle and took good care of Qi Feihong.
The next morning, Qi Feihong still went to court on time. After hearing some reports from everyone, he personally issued an order to award meritorious people with rewards. Among them, Li Zheng received the heaviest reward. He not only promoted Li Zheng to the rank of general to protect the country, but also became an army general. The leader is in charge of all the troops of the Qilin Kingdom, and is also personally given a residence, located near the main palace of the country.
Li Zheng won this honor, and naturally received congratulations from everyone, needless to say. After Li Zheng received the reward, he proposed to continue leading the Northern Expedition and completely return Lu Hao's city to the Qilin Kingdom. His plan was to first drive Lu Hao to an area west of White Tiger City, east of Qingcheng, adjacent to Qilin Kingdom in the south, and to the edge of the Immortal Realm in the north. Then completely eliminate Lu Hao and incorporate all the area east of Qingcheng of the original Red Dragon Kingdom into the territory of Qilin Kingdom.
Li Zheng took out a military map, which marked his marching route and the defense situation of the enemy's city, claiming that he was confident enough to eliminate Lu Hao.
Li Zheng's words were recognized by many military generals. They unanimously supported Li Zheng and wanted to continue to expand their territory and make achievements.
National Advisor Zhao Hai also thought it was feasible. He believed that the Qilin Kingdom now had dozens of large and small cities, a large number of people, and many soldiers. It was time to send troops to drive away Lu Hao.
Qi Feihong asked the Minister of Finance Jin Min about the state of the treasury and learned that the treasury had enough spiritual coins to support the army's continuous operations.
With soldiers and money, Qi Feihong was moved. He ordered the army to gather and attack the border city Nangong City. Using Nangong City as the breakthrough point, he then captured all the cities from Nangong City to Guomen Town, and went all the way north to the far north. Yuncheng, completely cutting off Lu Hao's eastward advance, forcing Lu Hao to enter the area drawn by Li Zheng.
There are dozens of cities along the line from Nangong City to Yuncheng, but there are no super cities, and the protective power is relatively weak. It is quite appropriate to use this as a breakthrough point. It's just that Guomen Town is the only entrance and exit to the original Red Dragon Kingdom. This has always been a battleground for military strategists, and it is also a place where Lu Hao's army defends it. If it is to be captured, I'm afraid it won't be too easy.
Li Zheng started to attack Nangong City and other cities, and the progress was smooth and very fast. He was able to capture a city every few days, which was overwhelming. Many people seemed to have seen the day when the army won, and were already preparing to celebrate in advance.
However, the good times did not last long. Li Zheng led his army all the way to Guomen Town, but was blocked by Lu Hao's army. They attacked for several days, but were stubbornly resisted by Lu Hao's army and failed to make any progress.
Lu Hao placed an army of 200,000 in Guomen Town, and more than 50 masters he brought from Qilin Village were stationed there. Li Zheng's army would never be able to capture Guomen Town in one fell swoop. Li Zheng understood the situation clearly and immediately asked Qi Feihong to order the Fourth Army to support him, and he wanted to gather the strength of both armies to capture Guomen Town.
Qi Feihong naturally supported Li Zheng and ordered the Fourth Army to set off, obeying Li Zheng's unified command, and determined to capture Guomen Town in one fell swoop.
After receiving the order, Huangfu Xiaoming quickly sent out troops and rushed outside Guomen Town. He joined forces with Li Zheng and prepared to attack Guomen Town. The total number of officers and soldiers of the Third and Fourth Army exceeds 400,000, twice that of the national garrison. Li Zheng was full of confidence and ordered his army to prepare. He only waited for Qi Feihong to report before sending troops to attack the city.
At this time, Li Zheng received information that Lu Hao added another 200,000 troops to guard Guomen Town, and the number of defenders in Guomen Town also reached 400,000. The numerical advantage on Li Zheng's side no longer exists, and both sides are equally powerful.
Li Zheng knew that Lu Hao was planning to wipe out Li Zheng's army in Guomen Town, and wanted to fight him to the death.
Since Lu Hao plans to fight Li Zheng, Li Zheng cannot show weakness. It's just that this matter is of great importance, and Qi Feihong, the leader of the country, has to make the final decision.
Li Zheng thought over and over again and ordered the entire army to prepare for battle. At the same time, he also asked Qi Feihong for reinforcements again.
