That night, Zhao Tianming was an old cow again.
It’s not an old cow eating young grass, you know!
After dual cultivation, he and Jiang Ningxue both benefited.
For three consecutive days, Zhao Tianming practiced double cultivation with the two women.
But three days later, Zhao Tianming finally took the initiative to find Zhihu.
At least I have to make up for it.
In the next month, Zhao Tianming truly lived a life without shame.
Stay at home every day.
Of course, he didn't practice in bed all the time. He spent more time practicing sword-drawing skills and understanding.
Rapid progress!
But he was not sure whether he could defeat Jiang Jiansheng.
It's not that he is really weak, but that he has no idea how strong Jiang Jiansheng is.
The four girls have never gone out. When buying groceries, they always have them delivered to their door.
Most of the foundation's affairs are handled by Zhihu, which also works online.
In fact, everything is on track. She has transferred her right-hand assistant from abroad, and there are not many tasks that she needs to decide personally. Even the business of the Pluto Palace business empire that she once controlled is mostly handled by the assistant team.
One day a month later.
Zhao Tianming was practicing, but Zhihu suddenly found him.
"Sir, something happened."
Zhihu looked solemn.
She was still used to calling him that.
Even though the other women called Zhao Tianming their husband, she still insisted on calling him that.
Zhao Tianming was stunned, stopped, and asked: "What's the matter?"
"I just received news that something happened in the southern border. Half a month ago, the ten-nation coalition invaded the Xia Kingdom border."
"What? Ten-nation coalition forces? They still dare to invade Xia Kingdom?"
Zhao Tianming was shocked.
He instinctively doubted the news.
It stands to reason that after the war a few years ago, the ten-nation coalition did not have the courage to invade Xia Kingdom again.
Is this the courage of a bear’s heart and a leopard’s heart?
Zhihu said: "Because you haven't appeared for several years, maybe they thought you had passed away."
Her analysis makes sense.
Zhao Tianming calmed down and thought about it, probably the truth was the same.
"Then what?"
he asks.
Zhihu continued: "The Xia Kingdom fell into a disadvantage. In the end, the Dragon King and Han Qianzhan went to the southern border in person to stabilize the war on the border. But three days ago, a master suddenly appeared in the coalition forces, Han Qianzhan. The Dragon Elephant Army under his command suffered heavy losses, and the Dragon King was also seriously injured. The border troops had no choice but to retreat continuously. As of today, they have retreated to a distance of 100 kilometers, and the coalition forces are pressing forward step by step."
"What are the casualties among the people on the border?"
Zhao Tianming asked in a deep voice.
"Nearly 10,000 people were killed and injured, nearly 1,000 houses were destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were displaced and were fleeing to the interior."
Suddenly, Zhao Tianming felt a murderous intention in his heart.
The coalition forces are bullying people too much.
Back then, in the Battle of the Southern Territory, he single-handedly fought a bloody battle with ten war gods from the coalition forces and killed dozens of war kings, and only then did he allow the coalition forces to withdraw and pay compensation.
I thought they would learn their lesson and not dare to attack again.
Unexpectedly, these countries have a resurgence of ambition.
Even if you invade the border, you still hurt innocent people and burn down their houses.
There is simply no bottom line!
There was another reason for Zhao Tianming's rage.
Many of the border troops in the south had been his subordinates, and now that the coalition forces are attacking again, that would be disrespectful to him. Have you forgotten what happened back then? This is not taking him seriously.
"In that case, I will go to the southern border tomorrow."
"Should we notify the government?"
"Need not."
Zhao Tianming waved his hand.
He doesn't want to have anything to do with Xia Guo's senior officials now.
He has been brooding over what happened to the Li family last time.
If he is willing to take action again, it is not for the sake of the top brass, but for the sake of the people.
This is his hometown after all. When the people are in trouble, he is obliged to do so, but this has nothing to do with the higher-ups.
…
Southern border.
Hundreds of thousands of Xia troops were mobilized from various war zones and came to the southern border. However, after half a month of fighting, they suffered heavy losses, and at least 100,000 officers and soldiers died.
That's not even the most important thing.
It is the duty of a soldier to protect his family and country, and even if it involves bloodshed and sacrifice, it is his duty to do so.
The important thing is that the continuous defeats have shaken the morale of the army.
They are not afraid of death, but this battle is simply unfair.
At first, everyone suffered casualties among themselves, but later, the coalition forces invited a group of masters from nowhere, and they were all not afraid of bullets.
Even if the Dragon King went there in person, he would be seriously injured.
Two fists are no match for four hands.
One against ten, it was very rare for the Dragon King to still be able to save a life.
Now it's a hundred kilometers in a row, but I can't retreat any further.
There is no way to retreat, and the economically important towns in the Xia mainland will suffer immeasurable losses. Now the war has attracted the attention of the people across the country, and people are panicked. Many people are questioning the border troops on the Internet.
This made the border army extremely frustrated.
Han Qianzhan decided to have a decisive battle with the opponent today.
Even if hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers were killed, they would never take a step back.
The Dragon King was seriously injured and the entire frontier army was under his command.
He was ready to sacrifice.
early morning.
The frontier troops were arrayed and all kinds of tanks were fully prepared.
On the distant horizon, a group of people appeared.
Not many people came, only about ten people.
Han Qianzhan's face became a little ugly.
If a large coalition force arrives, he can still give it a try.
But there was really nothing he could do about these ten people.
One of them, in particular, had never made a move, but was terrifyingly powerful. With a sword in his hand, he almost killed the Dragon King with just a slight move.
The Dragon King told him that the man was a cultivator and was more terrifying than a god-level master.
Almost invincible.
What made Dragon King and Han Qianzhan even more angry was that the cultivator turned out to be from the Xia Kingdom.
Traitor, traitor!
This kind of person who eats the inside and outside is the most resentful.
But what's the use of anger? If he can't beat him, he can't beat him. Guns and cannons have no effect on him.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people arrived in front of the formation, hovering in the air.
The man in black robe said arrogantly: "Let your commander-in-chief speak out. Today, I am negotiating with you on behalf of the coalition forces."
Behind him, there were ten people, each of whom was a god-level expert.
Seeing these people, all the border soldiers felt a sense of powerlessness in their hearts.
These people are no longer something ordinary people can deal with. Except for weapons of mass destruction, which may cause harm to them, ordinary weapons are completely useless.
negotiation?
Han Qianzhan stood up. He did not order an attack because it was of no use.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency is also from the Xia Kingdom, right? Why did you help the coalition attack the Xia Kingdom? Are you worthy of your ancestors? Aren't you afraid that your ancestors will jump out of their graves and whip you?"
The man in black robe laughed loudly: "Stop talking nonsense. Although I was born in Xia Kingdom, I am no longer a member of Xia Kingdom. Don't talk nonsense to me. Let me ask you, do you want to surrender? If you surrender, I will We don’t have to kill you, as long as you give up the three southeastern provinces and pay a sum of money as compensation, the coalition forces will immediately withdraw. If you refuse, starting from you, all of you will die without a burial!"
