Looking at Sima Yue's pale face, Li Benxin felt a surge of anger from the past. His eyes were full of pride and excitement, and he felt unprecedented happiness. I couldn't help but admire in my heart that I made the right move by inviting Xue Yang here.
A few days ago, Xue Yang promised to give Liao Zhihua troops, money and food. Li Benxin was worried at that time and even complained about Xue Yang's recklessness. Unexpectedly, Xue Yang was so smart that he kidnapped the private soldiers of the four major families and gave them to Liao Zhihua. This not only weakened the power of the four major families, but also increased the strength of Liao Zhihua, and also deepened the confrontation between the four major families and Liao Zhihua. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone.
"Oh my dears, Prime Minister Xue did a good job of mentioning all the shortcomings of Dragon City in these ten volumes. Now, our Tiandu Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and is safe on all sides. It is really a good thing. Today, the king is happy and is going to have a big banquet. Sir, let’s drink together in this meeting hall, and no one is allowed to leave early, otherwise I will not be happy. Haha." Li Benxin laughed.
Sima Yue and others knew that Li Benxin deliberately wanted to humiliate them and trap them in the main hall. And Sima Yue and the others really have no way to deal with it now, so they can just let Li Benxin clear out all their guards and private soldiers.
In the evening, return home. Sima Yue and Yin Shaozheng discussed and cursed for a long time, and then they didn't even eat dinner, so they sat in a daze in the secret room, their whole bodies as cold as ice cubes. This series of events that caught her off guard made her calmer and deeper. She had already arranged a top-secret plan to completely eradicate Li Benxin and the others. The Scarlet Blood Sect was destroyed, and Xue Yang's actions, although unexpected by her, could not shake her plan, and even added a boost to the success of her plan.
At this time, Jiao Chi in the blood pool was still transforming. Almost no human flesh could be seen in his body, and he had completely turned into a strange golden shape. Even his eyes, ears, and mouth could only be seen with layers of golden threads. . Sometimes, Sima Yue wonders, is Jiao Chi still a human being today?
Over the years, Jiao Chi was the only person with whom Sima Yue could share her feelings. He could naturally feel Sima Yue's anger beneath the ice, and he could also guess her situation. Asked: "A month ago, you could manipulate Li Benxin as you pleased, but now the situation is the opposite. Do you really think your plan is feasible? If Li Benxin attacks you in advance, you have no ability to resist."
Sima Yue said coldly: "Humph, the more dangerous my situation is now, the more likely my plan will be successful. It is not a pity to lose a few pieces on this chessboard in exchange for victory in the entire chess game. After the Black and White Conference, it will be Li Benxin's The day of my death is also the beginning of my sole control of the Tiandu Dynasty. At that time, Xue Yang and Luofan, they will know what I, Sima Yue, do!"
Jiao Chi: "Well, I believe you. And don't worry, my body will be transformed soon, and then I won't be afraid of being mortal. And the Black and White Alliance Conference will be a perfect opportunity for me, Jiao Chi, to show off my skills." .At that time, everyone in the world will see the true power of Zhanmen Jindou. I will become beyond Luo Tianhua and achieve true immortality! Haha, haha."
…
Li Chunjin received Li Benxin's royal order, successfully became the general marshal of Tiancheng, and began to take over Tiancheng's territory. Luo Fan and Li Chunjin talked for a day in the hall. Luofan informed her of her follow-up plan, and then asked her to increase her troops regardless of cost for future use. He also left the secret guards of Tianzi Team behind and asked them to help and train Li Chunjin.
It was inevitable that he had stayed with Li Chunjin for too long and his identity was discovered by others. Late at night, Luo Fan left Tiancheng with Zhao Xue and Zhong Fengxue.
Leading the horse and walking on the street, Luo Fan smiled and said, "Second sister, how do you feel after experiencing this battle?"
Zhao Xue said excitedly: "It was a great killing! Lin Xun was beheaded by my sword in Tianpeng Mountain. I killed 300 enemies in one night, among whom there were 28 masters and three who were more powerful than me." Thank you for the protection of your secret guards, otherwise I might not be able to survive such a battle."
"The world thinks that generals are invincible and can attack thousands of troops in one go without flinching. In fact, this is a fallacy. Manpower is limited. In a war, you may face heavy sieges or even fall into a protracted war. You must advance and retreat in an orderly manner to save your life. Besides, you My internal strength has not reached the state of transformation, so I cannot be reckless."
"I know. I did learn a lot this time. However, human lives in war are really not as good as those of pigs and dogs. I hope the world will be peaceful soon. Also, if good things like this happen in the future, don't forget to call me again. .”
"Second sister, you have a broad mind and extraordinary martial arts skills. You will definitely be the overlord of your party in the future. I will have many ways to rely on you in the future."
"Haha, that's natural. I, Zhao Xuehuo, want to live up to my reputation. By the way, are we going back to Dragon City now?"
"We can't go back yet. This time we left Dragon City in the name of going to Yiwen Pavilion for medical treatment. We can't go back too early. Let's go to Zifengyuan Tiema Town for a few days. There will definitely be something good there. Get on the horse. "
The three of them got on their horses and rushed in the direction of Jifengyuan.
…
In Iron Horse Town, the statue of eight iron horses galloping is eye-catching and mighty from a distance. There is also a huge wooden sign on the side, which reads: Iron Horse Town, dismount here.
The three of them led the horses into the town. Zhao Xue looked at the mottled writing on the wooden sign and sighed: "Iron Horse Town! How majestic the caravan was back then, and what a status it had in the world of Hulan Villa. Ma Tianyang's reputation shocked the heroes of the party, but he accidentally got acquainted with Sima Yue. So much so that the dove occupied the magpie's nest. Nowadays, things have changed and people have changed. Only these few words remain, and the color has gradually faded away."
Luofan said, "It's not entirely Sima Yue's fault. Second sister, do you know why after the death of Ma Tianyang's entire clan, his subordinates did not avenge him, but instead defected to Sima Yue at Hulan Villa?"
Zhao Xuedao: "Of course I know this. When Ma Tianyang was killed, three of his generals turned against him, Jiao Zhong, Li Donghe, and Guan Xi. These three were originally of low character and were accustomed to doing evil things, so they were secretly subdued by Sima Yue. Therefore, after Ma Tianyang's death, Sima Yue was able to use them to subdue the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Hulan Villa. And the three of them are now three of the five generals of Zhe Fengyuan newly established by Sima Yue."
Luo Fan: "This is the saying that raising tigers brings danger. Ma Tianyang is a generous and just man, but he values friendship too much and thinks of his old friends. When his subordinates do evil, he cannot punish them severely. Instead, he covers them and allows them to do evil. Continue to hold a high position. This will eventually lead to the backlash. Second sister, you and Ma Tianyang have 80 to 90 percent similarity in personality. If you are the leader of the world's banking gangs, if you have close relatives or friends who do evil or kill or rape or If you bully good people, can you be cruel and punish them according to the gang?"
Zhao Xue hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "I can't."
Luo Fan smiled and said: "This is the strategy for dealing with the enemy. If the opponent has a good reputation, use it to humiliate him. If he likes profit, use heavy profits to seduce him. People like you who care most about personal feelings are the easiest to do. Start with the people around you. Second sister, those who do great things must have a philanthropic mind and cannot just love the people around them. Do you know why the world calls me Living Yama? Because I never show favoritism, even to the king of heaven. , down to beggars, if someone commits a crime in my hands, I will treat it as one of them, and I will punish them as they should. So they say I am ruthless, and they are all afraid of me. Life is equal and there is no high or low. If one day, my family, my My friend, if you make a mistake, I will never be lenient! Protecting others is just making a mistake together, and accepting the punishment they deserve is the best way to help others."
Zhao Xue nodded, "Selfless! This is the difference between you and us. I understand what you mean. From now on, I will never show favoritism!"
The three of them led their horses to the center of Tiema Town. From a distance, they saw the majestic red building in front of them, with a constant flow of passengers.
"Fengyue Tower. It's so lively. Do we want to live here?"
"Yes, let's stay here for a few days and then return to Dragon City."
After entering the backyard of Fengyue Building, Zhao Xue and Zhong Fengxue went into the guest room to rest. Xiang Si came with two secret guards and reported in detail what happened in Fengyue Tower in recent days.
Not long after, a young girl in a red gauze dress, a golden phoenix hairpin, and a golden hollow phoenix mask knocked on the door and entered. Luofan took a look at it and exclaimed: "Tsk, tsk, where did this beauty come from?" Qiu Jing took off her mask and smiled: "Pretty, I am the number one in Fengyue Tower now, someone has offered me 50,000 taels of silver to see it. As for my face, I’m giving you an advantage.”
"There are many clouds and rain covering Wushan Mountain. Where can I find the witch in my dream? When you put on the mask, it seems a bit hazy and mysterious. No matter whether you are a noble, prince or a hero, everyone will be attracted to it."
"Sour! I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still a fake scholar and out of tune."
The two parties sat down and Luofan said: "I think your Fengyue Tower business is pretty good. But I didn't ask you to do business. How is Feng Yuan doing?"
Qiu Jing sighed: "Sima Yue, your methods are too powerful. I have been collecting here for half a month, but I haven't found any useful talents. All the generals who were related to my family in the past were all assassinated by Sima Yue. There are almost no old acquaintances. The rest, and there is a department within Wei Feng Yuan that specializes in monitoring the whereabouts of various generals, that is, where they eat and what they say is recorded. If you want to conquer the people inside, there is no chance. This is what Wei Feng Yuan is doing now You can read the list of generals yourself."
Luofan opened the list and read it again, and said with a smile: "Sima Yue, you really have built a solid wall. Oh, what a pity. Such a talented woman turned out to be a bad person."
"Today, the Jifeng Yuan Iron Cavalry is divided into five divisions. The three divisions of the Iron Horse, the Iron Spear, and the Iron Bow each have 30,000 troops. The Iron Spear Division is led by Sima Yue's uncle Sima Jie, and the Iron Gong Division is led by Sima Yu. Yue's trusted general Gao Huo is the general. The remaining three iron horses are the three who rebelled against my father, Jiao Zhong, Li Donghe, and Guan Xi. On top of the five generals, there are two generals, namely Hu Langtian and Li Kuangtie, these two are also Sima Yue's confidants. In short, the dozens of generals in charge of the army are all loyal to Sima Yue and cannot win over anyone."
"Then do you have any clues or plans?"
"Well, no. The other party is very wary and monolithic. I'm afraid that if I move too much, I'll arouse suspicion."
"Oh, I heard that someone in Guanxi has been running to Fengyue Tower in recent days. He wants to pay you one hundred thousand taels of silver to marry you? Is this true?" Luo Fan suddenly asked with a smile.
"You know everything. I originally planned to use your strategy of alienating the King of Fucheng to seduce Guan Xi to fight against Jiao Zhong. Unexpectedly, Jiao Zhong did not dare to fight with Guan Xi. This Guan Xi is the most skilled in martial arts. , I was surprised that Feng Yuan was the strongest person and was used to being domineering. He actually ignored Feng Yue Lou’s background and wanted to marry me by force. The dark master told me that you would come to help me in the next two days, so I sent him to come back in two days. .”
"Haha! It seems that Zhifeng Yuan does have some skills. Come on, let's go take a look now."
