In the main hall, Chen Xiong played with the jade seal and couldn't put it down. Sikong Li asked: "The general is daring, so please be more careful, Your Majesty."
Chen Xiong smiled and said: "The military god can rest assured. With this jade seal in hand, which symbolizes the destiny of the dynasty, I understand that the two of them will not dare to play any tricks."
Sikong asked sternly: "It's a small jade seal, why does your majesty do this?"
After receiving the treasure, Chen Xiong was in a good mood. Seeing that Song Jinyang would not return in a short time, he became interested in talking. He patiently explained: "Whether you are a widower, Li Chengzhi or Feng Jingquan, the reason why you are able to get the yellow robe is because you are lucky. Therefore, people are called destiny. Luck, luck, one word difference, good luck to the extreme, it becomes luck. Now the world is divided into four parts, among the four kingdoms, the Liao Kingdom, which has the shortest founding time, There are also fifty years of Guozuo, and this small jade seal gathers the aura of heaven and earth and contains the luck from the founding of the dynasty to this day. No matter how good a person's luck is, he is so good that he can be called a person with luck. How can it compare with the combined fortunes of a dynasty over decades or even centuries?"
Sikong said solemnly: "Of course it can't be compared, but why can't General Mo see the mystery?"
Chen Xiong smiled and said: "When you sit in my position, you will naturally be able to see it. If you want to understand something as mysterious and mysterious as the destiny of a country at a glance, you must first sit on the position of the king of a country, obey the will of God, and the longer you stay in power, , is closely related to the destiny of the dynasty, the clearer you can see, otherwise even if you are the top qi practitioner in the world today, you will only be able to see the leopard in a tube and not be able to see the whole picture. I believe that the reason why Ou Yunxi is willing to hand over the jade seal is all because of human nature He is a 'rebellious official and traitor' who usurps the throne by treason, which is against the laws of nature, and his reign is still short, and Li Mi is not the one chosen by heaven. Even though he understands the preciousness of the jade seal, he cannot figure out the secret behind it."
Although Sikong Li still had a partial understanding, he didn't have this intention, so he stopped asking.
Chen Xiong suddenly had a solemn look on his face and said in a deep voice: "Now that I have obtained half of the Four Kingdoms Treasure Seals, I have gained an upper hand in the competition with Feng Jingquan and Li Chengzhi. Sikong, you must remember that if Li Mi's prediction is correct, Liang After the Yan War, you must take back the Yan Kingdom's Jade Seal before Feng Jingquan! If I unfortunately die in the future, you must rise up, support your troops, stand on your own, hold the enthronement ceremony, and inherit the great rule!"
Sikong Li knelt down on one knee and said, "This general is loyal and will swear allegiance to Your Majesty to the death. Why is Your Majesty doing this?"
Chen Xiong laughed and said: "Ascending to the throne and obeying God's will, you can naturally take over the destiny of the dynasty, which will be of great benefit to your martial arts cultivation. The few incompetent heirs of me are of no use, so why not destroy me?" A century-old foundation was left in the hands of these losers and was destroyed by other countries, why not let you complete the hegemony of unifying the world!"

However, it is said that after Li Mixian and Ou Yunxi said goodbye to Song Jinyang, they drove back to the Liao Kingdom, and the king was still driving.
On the way back, Li Mixian was uncharacteristically sitting next to Ou Yunxi and said apologetically: "Mixian insisted on going his own way. He insisted on using the jade seal as a note and presented it to the King of Chu. Please forgive me."
Ou Yunxi smiled slightly: "It's just a stone, just give it away. Sir, you should know that someone in Ou does not have the ambition to dominate the world. He only wants to be free and play in the world. Besides, I know my own weight. I can lead less than ten thousand people to occupy the mountain and become the king." No problem, but being the king of a country or even the co-lord of the world is far from enough."
Seeing Qu Yunxi's magnanimity, Li Mi Xian felt even more guilty and sighed: "Back then, Mi Xian once boasted that he would go to Haikou and compete with the Holy One for the great cause of the world. Now, Mi Xian has broken his promise."
Ou Yunxi smiled and patted the unparalleled national warrior on the shoulder, and said, "Sir, the burden you have placed on yourself is too heavy. Ou is a martial artist. Before, on Yunxi Island, although he was free and comfortable, he was also very boring. Thanks to Mr. Ou, Ou was able to get out of the isolated island, come to this world, and be worshiped by thousands of people. Yes, on the island before, Ou also had great ambitions, but after arriving in China, he discovered that Ou was just a frog in the well. It’s better to sit in a well and watch the sky. Over the years, Ou has been determined to improve his martial arts realm and work as a hands-off shopkeeper with peace of mind. In fact, Mr. Ou has done a good enough job. In Ou’s opinion, it is already good and cannot be better."
Li Mi smiled first, feeling like a confidant.
Suddenly, Ou Yunxi looked into the distance and said slowly: "No matter what, sir, please live well. We all need to live well."

Three days later, Emperor Wu of Liang issued an order, ordering Zhu Wang to personally lead an army of 100,000 Yongzhou troops to assemble in Baixiang City to attack the State of Yan.
After Chen Xiong, the king of Chu, got the news, he walked out of the palace gate, faced south, bowed his head to the end, and said sincerely: "Mr. Li is really a god!"
————
In Baishi City, an important border city of Yan State, Baili Jin stood on the top of the city, looking south. Standing next to him was Jiang Daohua, his confidant general who had been in the army for nearly twenty years. Although the battle was about to begin, the general was calm and calm, and Jiang Daohua seemed confident. He asked in a low voice: "General, why do you ignore Liu Zhi? After all, he is the army counselor appointed by the king. The general ignored him so much. Aren’t you afraid of arousing the king’s suspicion?”
When Baili Jin heard this, his face was full of exhaustion. In his own opinion, Zhu Wang's army of one hundred thousand was just a mob and not worth mentioning. But to outsiders, this Liu Zhi seemed to be the popular man in front of King Yan, but Baili Jin understood that this person was just Guo Yuan. After his death, there were no more capable counselors in the Yan army, and they were just temporary replacements in name only. However, the King of Yan, Li Chengzhi, had always been the most face-conscious, and it was not easy for him to make things too difficult for Liu Zhi.
Baili Jin stroked the sword slung on his waist and said in a deep voice: "It has been seven years. For seven years, there has been no war in the world. Even I have almost forgotten how to hold a sword! Mr. Guo is gone. There is no one to make suggestions anymore. This is my loss, and it is also my loss to Dayan. However, even without Mr. Guo, I can still capture a little Zhu Wang. As for Liu Zhi, remember, face You must treat each other with courtesy. Promotion in the officialdom is not as good as killing enemies on the battlefield. Killing 10,000 people is not as good as this kind of sour scholar who only talks about right and wrong and confuses right and wrong to say a nice word for you in front of the king."
Jiang Daohua smiled bitterly and said, "Is this what they often say about civil servants talking, and military generals losing their legs?"
Baili Jin said sternly: "Liu Zhi is a mediocre talent and cannot be used in a big way. With him or without him, it's all the same to me. Zhu Wang's army of one hundred thousand people is not something I, Baili Jin, can take seriously. I am the most important now." What I'm worried about is that Liang Guo is determined to attack Dayan this time. After Li Jian was crowned king, Zhu Wang has been leading the army for nearly ten years. I have fought against him several times without losing. I don't know where Feng Jingquan got his confidence. Dare you send this guy to die again? Besides, we, Dayan, have always been on good terms with Chu State, and Liang State’s sending troops this time is an act of ignorance. Is it possible that all the people in Liang State’s court are really idiots? I’m afraid not. Bar."
Jiang Daohua, who has been following Baili Jin for a long time, echoed: "When things happen, there must be monsters. What does the general mean, is there something fishy about this?"
Without Guo Yuan by his side, Baili Jin was so arrogant that no one could speak of him. After finally getting a chance, he continued: "According to long-term theory, the total number of troops in Liang is about 700,000, and the total strength of Yan and Chu is about 700,000. A 600,000-strong army. Regardless of the general's ability to lead troops, if he wants to devour the Yan Dynasty in one go, the Liang State needs to gather at least 400,000 troops to the city. And while our army has not yet assembled, he can attack the hundred divisions as quickly as possible while our army has not yet assembled. City, and then moved northward. However, the 100,000 troops led by Ye Baiye needed to guard Jingzhou to prevent the Liao Kingdom from taking advantage of the chaos to invade. Moreover, after Li Jian was granted the title of king of Qingzhou, his military power was taken away in disguise. The general really couldn't think of anything , who should lead this follow-up army. Li Jian was granted the title of King Qing and stayed in Qingzhou all year round. To the Liang State, he was like a divine needle that fixed the sea and would not be easily mobilized unless the Liang State concluded that the Chu State would not be able to win this battle. We will send troops to reinforce, and without any worries, we can mobilize half the country to attack Dayan with all our strength."
Jiang Daohua was originally a Confucian general with both civil and military skills. Previously, it was difficult for him to show his talents due to the existence of Guo Yuan, an unparalleled counselor. Now it was easy to understand. He said cautiously: "The general is worried that the Chu State will choose to stand still this time and let the Liang State How about I, Dayan, fight to the death?"
Baili Jin said in a deep voice: "Although Liu Zhi is a mediocre person, there is something he said that won my heart. Sikong Li is very ambitious and should not be underestimated. Moreover, this man is a god in military skills and he is the fourth martial arts master in the world. I am not afraid of an invasion by the Liang army, nor do I suspect that our army has Liang domestic collaborators. The only thing I am afraid of is the defection of Chu in the face of battle."
