"Backstabbers, eighty years ago, when you, the State of Wei, colluded with the Sima clan, violated the oath of alliance between Qin and Wei, and stabbed me, Great Qin, in the back, did you ever think that the country would be destroyed by the Sima clan in just a few months? , was forced to flee into the wilderness and join the company of horse breeders? He even thought that one day the whole family would be wiped out!"
The cold wind in the wilderness in November was biting. The cold current coming from the Far North Mountains hit the solid mountain-like city walls of Anmang City. His bones were shattered into pieces, and the chill spread everywhere. He was immediately swallowed up by the fiery blood steaming up from the city.
The city was brightly lit, as bright as day, and 20,000 Anmang soldiers were wearing armor, holding halberds, and wielding bows and crossbows at their waists. They surrounded and guarded the temporarily converted prison courtyards layer by layer.
There are even beasts of different shapes, prostrate on the roof of the cell, surrounded by magic weapons, and their souls are slowly pulsing, slowly releasing, warning all directions.
Zhao Chengyan, wearing the torrent heavy armor of the Great Zhou Baihu School Lieutenant, stood in front of a steel cage with cold eyes as he looked at the several white-haired old men trapped in iron chains and shackles.
"It's ridiculous and sad, Zhao Chengyan, it's no wonder that you are also a descendant of the former Qin royal family. Eighty years ago, the Qin royal family was so high-spirited and unyielding that they would rather die than retreat. Thirty thousand Qin people fought bloody battles until the last person, and would rather die than surrender!"
In the iron cage, a burly old man stained with blood sat cross-legged on the cold iron plate. He raised his eyelids and sneered disdainfully: "Look at you again. The majestic Martial Saint not only devoted himself to the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also shamelessly became a minor. If word spreads about this little Baihu Captain, I'm afraid he will become the laughing stock of the surviving clan of the Seven Kingdoms. I, the Wei clan, would rather die ten thousand times than do such a boneless thing!"
"Fei Qianshan, stop pretending to be sarcastic. Your former Wei family fell into the Zhenjunhou's plan, which resulted in Beimang's defeat and the whole family plunged into a place of no return. Don't tell me that you don't know who Jiang Li is. !”
Zhao Chengyan smiled coldly and didn't pay attention to the ridicule of the former Wei clan elder.
Eighty years ago, the Qin State was powerful and ranked first among the Seven Kingdoms. It already had the power to sweep across the Six Kingdoms.
Unexpectedly, the countries in the Western Regions, which had been peaceful for more than ten years, suddenly changed again. Led by Tu Yuan and Dashi, they suddenly gathered a million coalition troops and stormed towards the Great Wall in the far north with the intention of rushing into the Central Plains and causing chaos in Kyushu.
The Qin royal family gathered hundreds of thousands of Qin elites to guard the border and resist the Xirong.
However, they were betrayed by their allies at a critical moment. The allied forces of Wei and Zhou stabbed Qin in the back, killing each other and destroying the government and the city.
Da Qin was attacked from both sides, so the country was destroyed.
The survivors of the former Qin led their remnants into hiding, and their hatred for the former Wei far exceeded the Sima clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For eighty years, they always wanted to destroy the Wei clan and avenge the martyrs of Qin.
Zhao Chengyan remembers the hatred of his country and his family, even more so.
The purpose of his investment in Anmang this time was to contact Jiang Li and try to persuade Jiang Li to lead the people of Anmang City to join the remnants of the former Qin Dynasty and become an important force for the prince to restore the Qin State.
If this fails, we will find out the details and hidden secrets of Anmang City, bribe government soldiers, and make preparations for the former Qin survivors to occupy Anmang City in the future.
But within two months of integrating into Anmang City, Zhao Chengyan had completely given up the idea of bribing Anmang's soldiers.
Not to mention the loyalty of the 110,000 Anmang soldiers to the Zhenjunhou, even if the resources that the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty can provide to the soldiers, Anmang City is not bad, or even more generous.
The survivors of the former Qin Dynasty would never have the courage to come up with various high-level martial arts techniques and moves without any restrictions.
The sudden addition of the Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan made Zhao Chengyan even more desperate.
The survivors of the former Qin Dynasty no longer have the strength to swallow up Anmang City like this.
In addition to the lack of warriors in the Yiwu and Shenbian realms, Anmang City has strong soldiers and horses, and there are many masters of the demon clan and Taoism, far more than any other province in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Zhao Chengyan had a desire to leave, and was about to lead his men to leave sadly, but it happened that Beimang was defeated and the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty were in trouble.
The hatred of the country and the family naturally meant that Zhao Chengyan could not stand idly by. He led a group of martial arts masters from the Qin clan under his command to join the battle, killing countless masters from the former Wei Dynasty and seriously injuring two semi-saints.
Seeing the demise of the former Wei family, Zhao Chengyan felt so excited that it was difficult to describe in words.
What the survivors of the former Qin had not accomplished for more than 80 years, Jiang Li caused Wei Mang to split up and the Wei clan was miserably destroyed without even using a single soldier.
Although this kind of method and layout has the factors of favorable time and place, it is beyond the reach of the imperial family of the former Qin Dynasty.
Perhaps because he and his masters fought bravely to kill the enemy, he gained the trust of Mr. Shangguan of Anmang City, or because of the need to guard the masters of the former Wei Dynasty, Zhao Chengyan was allowed to enter Anmang City as an exception.
The moment he stepped through the city gate and saw the sloppy old man huddled in the corner of the city gate, Zhao Chengyan felt an unprecedented sense of insignificance.
Although it was just a quick glance, he was already sure in his heart that he was at least an extremely powerful person who had touched the threshold of human immortality, and was a being who could compete with Zhenwu Hou Jiang Shirong.
Jiang Li's background is actually so profound!
In troubled times, perhaps only people like Jiang Li can compete in these troubled times.
Zhao Chengyan was even more shocked by the people who were escorted back by the government soldiers a few days ago.
All four thousand-year-old families have surrendered to Jiang Li.
Although I don’t know what exactly happened, but the speed of this rise and expansion.
The survivors of the former Qin Dynasty dare not even think about it in their dreams!
"Who is Jiang Li? Isn't he the son of Zhenwu Marquis Jiang Shirong!"
Fei Qianshan sneered when he heard this: "He has Marquis Wu as his backer, and he has been trained by famous teachers since he was a child. His strategy is really good. He framed him. It is because of our Wei clan's carelessness that we have ended up in today's situation. There is nothing to say."
"But what does this have to do with you joining him? Don't say that you think he has the potential of a generation of Ming Lord and want to assist him. Have you forgotten your original intention of the former Qin royal family?
"Or do you, the Qin clan, want to use Jiang Li to dismantle the Zhou Dynasty? The loyalty of Marquis Zhenwu to Emperor Jing is known to the world. His boxing spirit and martial arts ambitions are also closely related to the fate and grand plans of a country. Great achievements are connected, how could his son rebel against Zhou!"
"Fei Qianshan, the fall of the former Wei Dynasty is not unreasonable. You have tried your best to accumulate wealth these years and want to accumulate foundation for the rise of the Wei clan in the future, but you have ignored the turmoil in Kyushu!"
Zhao Chengyan said calmly: "It is true that Jiang Li is the son of Zhen Wuhou, but he is also the son of my sister, Princess Tianzhu. The Yin and Yang life and death blood of our Great Qin flows in his body, and because of Chan'er, he is as powerful as Wu Hou. Huo, the eldest wife of Marquis Zhenwu, He Lou, was even killed by him with his own hands!"
"What, you said Jiang Li is a descendant of the Qin clan!"
All the imprisoned Wei clan members in the courtyard were shocked when they heard this.
"Good calculations. You, the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty, are good at calculations and tricks!"
Fei Qianshan and several Wei clan elders felt as if they were struck by lightning. After a long time, they finally showed a desperate and envious smile. All their energy and energy were completely drained at this moment.
I thought that this generation of leaders of the former Qin remnants were ambitious, talented, arrogant, and just had some cunning tactics that could not be put on the table.
Now it seems that everything is an illusion and has deceived everyone!
The reason why Zhenjunhou could rise so quickly and occupy one side was because of the secret support of the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty.
Li Province has a special location, with the Far North Mountains at its back, so there are no worries about the future. It can build a majestic city with strong soldiers and horses but few citizens, and there are no worries or constraints from the future.
With this foundation, the rise of the former Qin Dynasty was inevitable.
"I also hope that all this really has something to do with our Qin clan!"
Zhao Chengyan smiled bitterly and sighed.
If the Qin tribe really had such a heroic master, why would he stay away from Kyushu and develop his power overseas.
It was just to leave a way out for the Qin people.
"Are you saying that the background and success of the Zhenjunhou have nothing to do with the survivors of the former Qin Dynasty?"
Fei Qianshan was startled. He was about to ask more when he suddenly felt that the surrounding space suddenly became brighter.
There was even an overwhelming terrifying pressure descending from the sky.
Everyone in Anmang City also sensed something at the same moment. They all looked up at the sky and saw a Nine Nether Flame Bird with red flames all over its body folding its wings and slowly falling downwards.
The handsome young man standing on Yanque's back is not a military commander, who else could he be!
"Nine Nether Flame Bird!"
Zhao Chengyan's eyes condensed, and the blood in his body instantly surged and exploded, and the cold killing intent condensed into a sword almost uncontrollably.
In the vast nine states, the Nine Nether Flame Bird is almost synonymous with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Eighty years ago, the Great Zhou Taizu's Flame Bird Ancestor burned down the Lishan Palace of the Great Qin with a ball of flames, leaving hundreds of miles of red fields without a single blade of grass growing.
They also burned countless passes and cities of the Qin State.
"Ming!"
In mid-air, the Nine Nether Flame Bird also sensed Zhao Chengyan's murderous intent. Yan Xiyao narrowed her eyes and let out a soft cry. The invisible spiritual power turned into a divine spear and crashed into Zhao Chengyan.
"What!"
Zhao Chengyan's heart palpitated suddenly. In an instant, a terrifying murderous intent that he had never felt before hit his body. His whole body was as cold as ice, as if he was falling into an abyss.
As a strong Martial Saint, he was locked in place by the glance of the Nine Nether Flame Bird, unable to move at all.
The mental shock fell, knocking him away directly. The steel cage was deformed by the impact and shattered.
"puff"
Zhao Chengyan's face turned pale, he fell to the ground, vomiting blood, his heart almost stopped beating, and there seemed to be an endless sea of fire spreading deep in his mind, and his soul seemed to be about to burst.
"Half-step immortal, how is this possible!"
Zhao Chengyan's eyes looked horrified. The Nine Nether Flame Birds had extraordinary blood, and even the adult Flame Birds had power comparable to that of a Martial Saint.
But except for the ancestor of the Flame Bird of Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, almost none of the Flame Birds in the royal family have reached adulthood, and the blood in these Flame Birds is not as pure as the ancestor of the Flame Bird.
The Nine Nether Flame Bird, who is half a human-immortal, is almost the same as the ancestor of the Flame Bird under Taizu Taizu of Great Zhou Dynasty.
"Senior Chi, there is no need to be angry. He is a remnant of the former Qin Dynasty. When he sees your Yanque lineage, he will inevitably become hostile!"
Jiang Li softly comforted Yan Xiyao, jumped off the back of the Nine Nether Flame Bird, and landed on the ground.
"Let's meet the military commander!"
The soldiers and officers of the Anmang Mansion in the courtyard were overjoyed to see Jiang Li return. They immediately knelt on the ground and greeted him respectfully.
"呲"
On the eaves, a colorful python with a length of more than ten meters also raised its head, nodded slightly, and looked at the young Lord An Mang curiously.
"Captain Zhao, Yan Xiyao is not a descendant of the ancestor of the Great Zhou Yanque, so you don't need to be so hostile!"
Jiang Li raised one hand, and a burst of true energy came out, gently lifting Zhao Chengyan up.
"My subordinates pay their respects to the military commander!"
Zhao Chengyan looked at Jiang Li, didn't say much, just cupped his fists and saluted.
"It turns out that you are Jiang Li, the Marquis of the Army. You have done so much harm to our Wei clan!"
Behind Zhao Chengyan, the iron cage shattered, and a gray-haired old man suddenly stood up and jumped out. The iron chains wrapped around his body rattled non-stop. His eyes glared at Jiang Li, anger gushing out, and murderous intent steaming up.
But his injuries were serious. The energy and blood in his body were stagnated, his strength dissipated, and his steps were sloppy. As soon as he jumped up, he tripped over the iron chain under his feet and fell to the ground in a panic.
"Despicable person, I can't wait to eat your flesh alive and break your bones!"
"Marquis Zhenjun, I, the Wei clan, are at odds with you!"
"Cunning and despicable, he can only use conspiracy and tricks, causing millions of our Wei clan to fall into the hands of the Great Zhou, resulting in countless deaths and injuries!"
The people imprisoned in the courtyard were all high-ranking members of the surviving clan of the former Wei Dynasty. When they heard that the young man in front of them was the military commander of Dazhou Town, and that he was the spy of Dazhou who pretended to be Xi Jingchuan and taught the wrong Qi Meridian Technique, they all jumped up like crazy, their eyes filled with tears. Deep hatred and rage.
If it weren't for Jiang Li, how could his former Wei family be in such a miserable and desolate situation.
After a hundred years of hard work, it was all ruined in one day.
For a time, the sound of the chains shaking, banging, yelling, and crying could be heard all the time, and the sky filled with boiling water.
In other surrounding courtyards where the former Wei clan members were imprisoned, all kinds of angry curses, curses and cries also rang out at the same time.
"Hey!"
The white horses Zhuifeng and Liuyun also jumped to the ground. Listening to all the noise and curses around them, Zhuifeng stamped his iron hooves fiercely, raised his head and neighed, and the half-saint-level roar instantly suppressed everything.
Liuyun also stomped the ground lightly, and the pressure of the half-step human immortal was like a big mountain, pressing all the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty to the ground.
"Another powerful demon king who is half a human being!"
Zhao Chengyan was stunned, almost so shocked that he couldn't breathe or think.
Anmang City already has a mysterious old man whose strength is at least half-step into the Immortal Realm, and now there are two more top-notch demon kings.
Such strength is probably comparable to that of the Great Holy Land on Thursday.
"Long time no see, Mr. Fei!"
Jiang Li patted the somewhat irritable Zhui Feng, turned towards the gray old man in the iron cage, and slightly cupped his hands.
"Jiang Li, you have caused so much misery to our Wei clan!"
Fei Qianren struggled to sit up, the anger in his eyes still not gone, and his heart was filled with guilt for millions of Wei people.
A few months ago, he was the one who went to the Tufal Country to meet with Jiang Li and retrieve the Qi inheritance that had been mutilated.
"Fei Lao, when the two countries are at war, the game between them is not just on the battlefield. If you say it is despicable, I'm afraid your Wei ancestors are even better!"
Jiang Li's voice was cold: "Qin and Wei have made an alliance for generations and have relied on each other. Qin has sent troops several times to relieve the dangers of Wei. The former Wei stabbed Qin in the back, which led to the destruction of Qin. Isn't it shameful? Everyone in the world can say that my means are humble, but only You, the Wei clan, alone do not have this qualification!"
"Jiang Li!"
Fei Qianren clenched his fists and his whole body was shaking, but he couldn't say a word.
In terms of despicable means, his ancestors of the former Wei family did make many wrong choices.
Especially after stabbing Qin in the back, not only did hundreds of thousands of soldiers die in battle, but before the carving up of Liangzhou began, the Zhou army was directly turned around, killing many people and the main force was completely destroyed.
"You, the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty, are coveting the inheritance of the ancient Qi of the Jiaohe Sect. If you really reach a deal with Linghe Castle, obtain the real skills, and counterattack the Great Zhou in the future, will you feel that your methods are despicable?"
Jiang Li glanced at the senior officials of the former Wei clan in the courtyard and smiled coldly: "Not to mention the old grudges between Qin and Wei, Zhou Wei is the enemy. As the survivors of the former Wei, you should know the principles of success and defeat. Since you have chosen If you are involved in conspiracy and killing, don't think about setting up a memorial for yourself to be innocent and wronged."
"Jiang Li, you are right, if you lose, you lose!"
Fei Qianshan stood up, raised his head, his face was cold, and his whole body was full of unyielding will: "We, the Wei people, have fallen into your hands. I have nothing to say. Kill me if you want. You have to do whatever you want!"
"Killing is very simple, but it is also the most useless!"
Jiang Li looked into Fei Qianshan's eyes and said seriously: "I can give the Wei people a chance to survive. As long as you hand over all the accumulation of the surviving people of the former Wei Dynasty and put them into my An Mang account, I can let go of all the Wei people." !”
"Wishful thinking, you have caused so much harm to our clan and you still want us to surrender?"
Fei Qianshan seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous, and laughed with contempt and ridicule: "There is no weakling in the Wei clan. Just kill us. It is absolutely impossible for us to surrender!"
"Kill if you want, the Wei clan would rather die than surrender!"
"If I shout out a word of pain, I am not worthy of being a human being!"
In the courtyard, a high-ranking figure from the Wei family stood up one after another. No matter how severe the injuries were, they held their heads high and looked determined to face death!
"Very good. Since you are unwilling to surrender, the survivors of the former Wei Dynasty are of no use to me!"
Jiang Li nodded calmly, turned to a Qianhu general and said: "Pass my order to escort all the Wei clan members to the beheading platform. I will personally supervise the army and let these former Wei senior officials see with their own eyes their relatives and family members. They were beheaded one by one in front of them and hung on the top of Anmang City!"
As soon as Jiang Li finished speaking, he walked straight out regardless of the reaction of the surviving family members of the former Wei Dynasty in the courtyard.
The moment he was about to step out of the courtyard, he suddenly turned back and said to Yan Xiyao: "Senior, please release the pressure and suppress these senior officials of the former Wei family, lest these people commit cowardice and commit suicide!"
"Jiang Li, don't worry, suppressing them will be easy!"
Yan Xiyao nodded, and with a flick of her wings, the endless pressure spread immediately, covering the entire Anmang City.
Strangely enough, this coercion was directly exerted on all the Wei people, but it had no impact at all on the Anmang Mansion soldiers and the scattered Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan.
"Brother Jiang Li, your human city is so interesting. There are thousands of creatures, many of which I have never seen before. It's really interesting. There are also these little birds flying everywhere!"
Jiang Li walked out of the courtyard and went straight to the beheading platform without returning to the mansion.
He had just walked halfway, when Yan Xiao and Bai Qi also fell down.
Entering the human city again, Yan Xiao's mood was naturally different from the last time.
He flew all the way and saw many monster creatures that he had never seen before. He was curious about everything, and he was holding more than a dozen green falcons in his arms.
These green falcons flew extremely fast, were well-trained and very alert, but were suppressed by the faint coercion released by the rock owl, unable to move, and lay obediently in the rock owl's arms.
Most of the green falcons are messengers and scouts raised by Anmang City, but one of them does not have the mark of Anmang City on its feathers.
Jiang Li glanced at it. Not only was he a little curious, he reached out to grab the green falcon and found that there was a small wooden tube tied to its leg.
"Why is there a strange green falcon near Anmang City carrying a message?"
Jiang Li was a little curious. He untied the string and took the small wooden tube in his hand. He opened it gently and found that there was a scroll of brocade silk with wet ink hidden inside.
"Hey, it turns out there's something hidden in these little birds!"
Yan Xiao's eyes lit up, and he quickly lowered his head to rummage around the Blue Falcon in his arms.
"Privately raising the Nine Nether Flame Birds with the intention of treason?"
Jiang Li opened the brocade silk and scanned it lightly, his eyes immediately turned cold.
In the Far North Mountains, he heard Zhao Tiehe talk about the envoys from various families who came to Anmang City to demand the remnants of the former Wei Dynasty.
Jiang Li didn't take these people and the forces behind them seriously.
Although these forces have deep roots and are deeply intertwined in the seventeen provinces on Tuesday, they have close relationships with many powerful people, aristocratic families, and sects, and have great influence.
But what does this have to do with him.
The development of Anmang City to this day is entirely due to his efforts.
When the power was weak in the past, there was no need to rely on and rely on the various forces in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now it is full-fledged and has a solid foundation. It has the support of the Extreme North Mountains and Qiongsha Island, and there is no need to make false promises with these forces. .
If you don't offend him, everything will be fine.
But if they dare to plot against him, Jiang Li will never show mercy.
Today, there are not many existences and forces that he can fear.
As long as he didn't rise up and openly betray the Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Jing would not be able to touch him easily.
"Pass my order and invite all the people from the inn outside the city to come in. I want to see how much appetite they have!"
Jiang Li waved his hand, and the captain of the military academy immediately took the order and hurried away.
When he arrived at the execution ground in Anmang City, the Shangguan Qingyan sisters, the big black dog, the fox demon Yuntao, the green bull demon king and others had already heard the news and came over.
Lord An Mang has returned, and everyone is curious about what Jiang Li has gained from his trip, as well as his next plans and arrangements.
However, just the addition of powerful people such as Nine Nether Flame Bird, Alien Beast Liuyun, Bai Qi, Kui Yan Xiao, etc. is enough to guess that Jiang Li will gain a lot from this trip.
"As soon as the Zhenjun Hou returns to Anmang City, there will be big moves!"
On the wall of Anmang City, two immortal figures stood side by side.
Yun Wangcheng looked at the Anmang cavalry galloping out of the Anmang city gate, a thoughtful smile appeared on his thin and handsome face.
"Father, although the Zhenjun Hou is young, he is iron-blooded and resolute. He seems to be reckless and arbitrary, regardless of the consequences, but in fact he has a strong heart and has already weighed everything!"
Fox Demon King Yun Xi looked at the top demon kings beside Jiang Li with some fear, feeling awe-inspiring in his heart.
I thought that the Wanhu Mountain Monster Clan would become the most powerful force around Jiang Li after joining Anmang City.
Hundreds of monsters with different levels of Taoism and magic are existences that cannot be ignored by any force.
He and his father will also serve as the top fighting force in Anmang City, deterring all those with evil intentions.
Now it seems that I still underestimated the development speed of this young military commander.
"Yun Xi, you have a high opinion of the Zhenjun Hou, which is rare!"
Yun Wangcheng nodded, looking at the young man sitting on the high platform, he felt a sense of expectation in his heart.
Troubled times are coming, chaos will sweep everything away, and all living beings cannot avoid it. As the Lord of Wanhu Mountain and the long-established Demon King, Yunwangcheng knows that with his own power, he cannot protect the demons in Fox Mountain.
In order to survive the troubled times safely, Wanhu Mountain also needs a giant tree that can shield it from the wind and rain.
Not a brief collaboration, but a complete tie together.
