The Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Faced with Mu Bai's hesitation, Li Ziye blocked the road without giving him any way out.
As a friend, you have to cut your teeth at critical moments.
Ever since the Li family entered the capital, they had been planning for Mu Bai to succeed. How could they allow him to back down at this critical moment?
Throughout the ages, there have been countless people who wanted to conquer the Central Plains. An indecisive emperor could not defend the Central Plains.
In the main hall, Mu Bai heard the coercion in the words of his friend in front of him, and his expression changed again and again. After a long time, he took a deep breath and asked, "I have only one question, what will be the outcome of my father?"
"He is the Supreme Emperor, so of course he will continue to enjoy glory for the rest of his life."
Li Ziye said calmly, "I think this result is the best for everyone."
After hearing the former's answer, Mu Bai finally stopped hesitating and responded firmly, "Okay, I promise, from today on, I will try my best to sit in that position and never shrink back."
"The Queen will be very happy when she hears His Highness's decision."
Seeing that the fourth prince in front of him had finally made up his mind, Li Ziye smiled and asked, "Your Highness, how are you doing with the two drawings I gave you?"
"All arsenals have been ordered to produce them. However, it will take more than a month, nearly two months, to produce a sufficient quantity." Mu Bai answered truthfully.
"More than a month?"
Li Ziye glanced at the weather outside, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Then we can only catch up with the decisive battle."
"Brother Li, can those things really help us win this war?" Mu Bai asked with concern.
"It's not about winning, it's about not losing."
Li Ziye looked away and said calmly, "Your Highness, let me ask you a question. Do you think Zhongyuan is stronger, or Mobei?"
"Central Plains!" Mu Bai replied without hesitation.
"The reason?" Li Ziye asked.
"Because the Central Plains has more troops and people, as well as a thousand-year heritage. As long as the Central Plains are given enough time, we will definitely be able to win this war." Mu Bai said solemnly.
"Your Highness thinks so, and the ministers in the court and the people of the world probably think so too."
Li Ziye sighed softly and said, "Your Highness, what do you think is the foundation of thousands of years? Culture? Confidence? And deep-rooted corruption? Regarding the city, the officials in the court must have reacted. I don't deny that after a few years, The Central Plains will still be dominated by the Central Plains people. However, in this war alone, I don’t think that the Central Plains has any advantage. On the contrary, I think that if there is enough time, the loser will be Dashang. However, in the past three years, the cold winter has The spread has greatly shortened the time that the Eight Divisions of Mobei can raise troops each time, giving us a chance to breathe."
After hearing what the former said, Mu Bai looked surprised and asked, "Brother Li, do you mean we will lose?"
"If Your Highness had personally seen the Mobei army attacking the city, you would know why I said this."
Li Ziye responded with a serious look, "Now, regardless of the types of troops, siege equipment, and tactics, we are all lagging behind the Eight Tribes of Mobei. Even the determination to fight, Dashang and Mobei are not on the same level. Your Majesty, the accumulation of thousands of years of experience should not be a psychological comfort for us to deceive ourselves and others, but a high-hanging warning bell. Our accumulation of thousands of years is not worth someone else's hundreds of years of hard work. Is this worth bragging about?"
Having said this, Li Ziye paused and continued, "Your Highness, the entire Central Plains should reflect on it. The Central Plains does have more resources and population, but the Eight Tribes of Mobei only use less than 30% of our troops. , and beat us into a state of disarray. A hundred years from now, a thousand years from now, how will future generations write this period of history? Does His Highness think it is an honor or a shame?"
History is always surprisingly similar. At the beginning, the Mongolian cavalry swept across all directions with a number of about 200,000, defeating all the powerful enemies at that time, including the once invincible Central Plains Dynasty.
Even though the Central Plains people regained the land of the Central Plains hundreds of years later, the original defeat and humiliation were still facts.
In the main hall, Mu Bai felt uncontrollable in his heart after hearing the subversive remarks made by his friend in front of him.
"Your Highness, I am just saying this in the hope that when you succeed to the throne, the world will be inclusive of all things, and everyone in the court will speak out and accept advice, instead of thinking of themselves as the Great Kingdom of the Central Plains, being arrogant and complacent, and not being able to see the prosperity of others. , My ears cannot hear my own suffering, this is enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ziye put his right arm flat on his chest and bowed respectfully.
"Brother Li."
Mu Bai subconsciously stretched out his hand, helped the former, and said softly, "I will keep in mind what Brother Li said today, but please also ask Brother Li to always remind me that this world is too big, and I'm afraid that I can't see that far. "
"Just do your best."
Li Ziye responded softly.
If he can still live until then.
Does he still have a chance to see the prosperous EMI that no Taoist sect has been able to see?
Behind them, Xiao Si heard the conversation between the two, his hands clenched tightly, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.
"Your Highness, don't talk about these things anymore."
After a brief sigh of emotion, Li Ziye suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said, "How about some gestures?"
"Brother Li's current body?"
Mu Bai asked with surprise, "Can I still lift the sword?"
"It's not okay to look down on people."
Li Ziye smiled and said, "Your Highness, this is not good. You will suffer from your subconscious pride."
"Then I'll ask again."
Mu Bai's expression condensed and he asked, "How to compare?"
"Just one move."
Li Ziye replied, "Your Highness, you don't have to hold back. I may not lose with just one move."
"Can."
Mu Bai did not refuse and simply agreed.
One move doesn't matter, he wants to show this guy that his title of one of the Four Prodigies is not earned by his status as a prince!
The two then came to the front of the main hall, ten steps apart, and looked at each other.
"Your Highness, please!"
Li Ziye reached out and pulled out the Chunjun sword from under the machine chair. He looked at the fourth prince in front of him and said with a smile, "Your Highness, be careful. If you underestimate the enemy, you may lose."
"Then I want to see how much strength Brother Li still has."
Ten steps away, Mu Bai responded solemnly, and immediately pulled out the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, and his true energy surged into the sword.
He was very curious about how his friend, who had no cultivation at all, could block his sword.
The next moment, Mu Bai moved and pierced the air with his sword. Like a blazing meteor, it flew forward in an instant.
Long Yuan got close, but he saw that in the battle, the majestic and endless spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged quickly, submerged into the Chunjun sword, and blocked Long Yuan's sword with a bang.
The two divine weapons collided violently, and after a brief stalemate, thunder spread from the Chunjun sword, followed the Longyuan sword, and quickly affected Mu Bai's body.
"This is?"
Mu Bai sensed this, his expression changed, and he immediately drew his sword and retreated.
"Your Highness, pick it up."
The moment Mu Bai retreated, Li Ziye's eyes were filled with silver light. He forcibly compressed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and attached it to the pure Jun sword, and then slashed out with one sword.
In an instant, the sword energy merged with the power of thunder and surged out.
Outside the battle, Xiao Si looked at this scene and was shocked.
Spiritual consciousness attached!
A few days ago, didn't the young master say that this was just a conjecture?
