Nine Hundred and Sixty Eight Chapters

No one had any opinions, but Wang Zecheng continued to sneer and said with a long spear: "The Imperial Forest Army has already occupied all the mine veins in the Vulcan Mountain on the border of Fanshu City, and now they have divided the two dragon crystal mines in the Dragon's Forbidden Land. I would like to ask, Li Xiaoyao, you became the overlord of a party in Fanshu City, with a powerful force of 100,000 Imperial Forest Army in your hands, and at least tens of thousands of private troops in Fanshu City. With such a strong force, you are no different from the leader of a party, I am afraid With your strength, even if you want to rebel, no one can stop you in Tianling City, right?"

I smiled slightly: "Wang Zecheng, what do you mean by hiding needles in the cotton?"

On the side, Long Zhong, the commander of the Yanlong Army, clasped his fists and said, "General Wang, the deputy commander of the Fire Axe Army, is probably just telling the truth. General Li, as the commander of the Yulin Army and Lord Broken Ding, has the military power already under one person in Tianling City. In ancient times, the way of monarchs and ministers is loyalty and checks and balances. I, Long Zhong, am willing to sacrifice my life for His Majesty and the empire. Moreover, the last general also believes that Lord Sui Ding is loyal to His Majesty. If this is the case, the Imperial Forest Army cannot be allowed to be so unstoppable. Containment has increased the strength of the troops."

Reis also clasped his fists and said: "The last will second."

I was really angry in my chest, and I held my iron fist, looked at Luo Qianlin, and said, "Qianlin, since I was appointed by Peier as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, have I done anything that is not for the survival of the Tianling Empire?" Yu Qiangsheng, if I have more than half of my selfishness, Qian Lin, you can order to deprive me of Li Xiaoyao's military power!"

Luo Qianlin was stunned, and said: "Why Li Shi said this, the lonely king has never doubted you, please Li Shi must trust Qian Lin!"

On the side, Situ Xin took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, since General Long Zhong, General Leisi, and General Wang Zecheng have all begun to question the strength of the Imperial Forest Army, then... it might as well stop distributing the mines of the Dragon's Forbidden Land to the Imperial Forest Army this time. , Take back the 2/11 mine veins of the Imperial Forest Army and distribute them to the Changfeng Army and the Imperial Army."

I felt a little stuck in my heart, looked at Situ Xin, his eyes were apologetic, and said: "General Li, the situation is pressing, I hope you will forgive me!"

Luo Qianlin looked at me: "Mr. Li, what do you think?"

I waved my hand, sighed and said: "Forget it, since this is the case, then the imperial forest army will not get involved in this land that is forbidden by dragons."

"Master Li..."

Luo Qianlin hesitated to speak, and Qingjun's face showed a bit of distress and pain. After a few seconds, he said: "How about this... The amnesty allows the Imperial Forest Army to expand its strength to 200,000. I know Li Shi's character. I also know the loyalty of the Royal Forest Army to the empire. The Royal Forest Army will not participate in the distribution of the mine veins in the Dragon Forbidden Land, but..."

As he spoke, his voice paused, and he suddenly pulled out his long sword and cut off a corner of the table with a "click", saying: "But if anyone slanders Master Li, saying that he has a heart of disobedience, it will be like this table." , The lonely king only said this once, and next time he will use his sword!"

Both Long Zhong and Leisi were taken aback, and Wang Zecheng's face was also a little ugly. He intended to provoke the relationship between me and Luo Qianlin, but he didn't expect this result in exchange, but it seemed that he had achieved his goal, at least I've seen that Luo Qianlin doesn't trust me 100% this time, but that's okay, only in this way can he grow up, have his own authority and judgment, and grow into a generation of emperors.

...

The court meeting immediately began to disband, Qin Ye, Long Zhong and others went back to their homes, Fang Geque, Wen Jian, Jian Fenghan, Yan Zhao Wushuang and others also got the right to mine veins that their legions should get. The number of dragon crystal cannons that can be owned will not be inferior to that of Zhanlong. In fact, this is a good thing. They are strong, and China can be regarded as truly strong.

"Master Li..."

When I turned around to leave, Luo Qianlin suddenly called softly and said, "I want to talk to you a few more words!"

I said to Lin Wan'er and Yue Qingqian: "Wan'er, go play for a while, I'll come to you right away."

Lin Waner smiled and took Yue Qingqian's hand and went out. The two of them were about the same age, they were like sisters, and they had a very good relationship. In Zhanlong, the sisters who had a good relationship were probably Lin Waner and Dongcheng Yue, Yue Qingqian and Yue Weiliang, Lin Xiaowu and Fu Shui Nannan and so on, the intimacy of girlfriends is something that men will not understand, of course, the friendship between men and brothers may never be understood by women.

...

When I said goodbye to Lin Wan'er and Yue Qingqian, Luo Qianlin went alone, leaving behind a chief guard who respectfully said to me: "Duke Broken Ding, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden, please come with me!"

"good!"

I swung the Zixiao cloak behind me, I stepped on the steps with the overlord boots and followed the chief guard into the harem. The butterflies danced in the imperial garden, and the maidservant holding fruits contrasted with the maple leaves scattered all over the ground. Luo Qianlin was standing in a pool of water. Inside the pavilion, when I walked over, he said to the chief guard: "Let Master Li and I be alone for a while!"

"Yes!" The head guard turned around and left, standing far away.

Luo Qianlin looked at the reflection of me and him in the water, smiled slightly, and without saying a word, suddenly the sword from his waist came out of its sheath and stabbed directly at my chest. It was difficult to deal with the sudden embarrassment, and my reaction speed Not too slow, one side of the body dodged the sword edge, the palm of the hand surged with force, and the butterfly instantly unsheathed and slashed towards Luo Qianlin uncontrollably under the power of Yujian.

"scare?"

Luo Qianlin's eyes surged with fighting intent, flames erupted suddenly from the long sword, his wrist flipped, and the blade whirled sharply, knocking away the butterfly's attack with a "clang" with the spiral force, and at the same time, I held the butterfly's hilt with one hand , It was another thrust with great force, Luo Qianlin shouted loudly, his wrist shook violently, and the long sword with excellent toughness in his hand formed the skill of wrapping swords to wrap around my butterfly.

"Um?"

My heart sank slightly, this kid is learning really fast, but mine is even faster, the artifact butterfly whistled suddenly, his wrist flicked lightly, and there was a sharp "bang" sound of the sword, unexpectedly knocking Luo Qianlin's body away. The King's Blade was shaken open abruptly, which was a very delicate sword shaking technique.

"Master Li, be careful!"

Luo Qianlin gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, and his body suddenly spun in the air. The long sword brought out a douqi to form a plane attack, while I leaned up like a conditioned reflex and made an iron bridge. hand.

With a "snap", the King's Blade flew out of his hand, but Luo Qianlin's reaction speed was astonishing, his body moved forward suddenly, his knee hit my leg violently, he raised his hand and pulled out the other long sword behind him, and it hit me hard To my god-killing armor, but at the same time, my butterfly has already cut through his neck, and I was about to splatter the blood of the Lord of Tianling City for ten steps, so I hurriedly pressed my wrist to deflect the blade , "Keng" left a deep sword mark on Luo Qianlin's shoulder armor, but his body was also sent flying by Luo Qianlin's sword!

"brush!"

The whole person was blasted several meters, and I was about to fall into the lake water. When the maid not far away screamed, I suddenly entered the state of Qianshuanghuawing, my body was in the air, my left palm was hanging down, and my fingertips were almost It's already on the surface of the water.

"Mr. Li, are you alright?"

Luo Qianlin hastily withdrew his hand and said, "I'm sorry, it was Qianlin who was too impulsive to decide the winner, and almost hurt Master Li!"

With a slight effort, I straightened my body, and slowly flew back into the pavilion, with a look of surprise in my eyes, I stepped forward and patted Luo Qianlin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Qianlin's martial arts have indeed improved a lot. gone."

"But people have also changed." Luo Qianlin said suddenly in a daze.

I was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Luo Qianlin laughed at himself: "Master Li knows the reason."

As he said that, he gave me a complicated look, and said, "Qin Ye, Leisi, Xia Houren and others have secretly advised many times, saying that Master Li holds the power of life and death in Tianling City, and the military power is already in my hands. On top of that, Dad even wrote me a letter yesterday, saying that after Master Li mastered the Dragon Crystal Mine in Vulcan Mountain, he had Fanshu City as his foundation, and he already possessed the power to retreat from the throne with soldiers approaching the city. Be cautious in everything, divide Li Shi's military power, and his first step..."

My body trembled, and I said, "Are you going to take the four generals Han Yuan, Xiao Li, Long Yu, and Xia Ye away from me?"

Luo Qianlin admitted it bluntly, and said: "Yes, he asked me to use the merits of the four generals to establish four garrison troops. Each army will draw 10,000 people from the Royal Forest Army as the basic force, and then Han Yuan and Xiao Li will guard Linhai City. , Long Yu and Xia Ye were going to send troops to attack Wangyue City, and then they took 200 dragon crystal cannons from the Imperial Forest Army to the Yanlong Army on the grounds of attacking the strange demon territory, and ordered Long Zhong to start the expedition, together with the Changfeng Army and Fire Axe Army A total of 200,000 people are on an expedition to attack the Asura Realm guarded by Anne of the Dragon Bone Scar..."

I took a deep breath of cold air, my heart was filled with chills, and I said in a trembling voice, "So ruthless... so poisonous..."

Luo Qianlin's eyes were filled with grief and anger, and he said, "I don't know what to do. Dad has his reasons for saying this, but I also know that once the fourth general is transferred from the Imperial Forest Army, the strength of the Imperial Forest Army will be greatly reduced. Li The division has lost its left and right arms, and if the expedition fails, the Yanlong Army, Changfeng Army, and Fire Ax Army will all be destroyed. These three armies and the Imperial Forest Army... are all thorns in Dad's eyes..."

I was quite relieved, smiled wryly, and said: "Qianlin, it is a great fortune for Tianling City that you can understand this truth. Your father Luo Xun only thinks about your Luo family being able to dominate the government, but he has never thought about Tianling City. Only then can we stand firm in this war, but everything is under your thoughts, Asabashi, and I will never complain about how you choose."

Luo Qianlin clenched his fists and said: "Master Li, I will never let the imperial army go on an expedition to the territory of strange demons without absolute certainty. I don't want to see many people die in vain in the northern border, but Master Li... the matter of the Imperial Forest Army ,I……"

I couldn't help laughing at myself, looked at him and said, "Qaolin, you also think my military power is too great, don't you?"

Luo Qianlin stood there numbly, watching the flowers beside her fall to the ground one by one under the autumn wind.

...

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."

I reached out and took out the badge of the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army and the badge of the General of the Empire from my waist, knelt down on one knee, offered it with both hands, and said, "Li Xiaoyao is willing to resign as the Commander of the Imperial Forest Army today, and return the badge of the General of the Imperial Forest. I will no longer be a general of the empire!"

"Master Li..."

Luo Qianlin suddenly fell to his knees, tears streaming from his eyes: "Qianlin is sorry for you, Qianlin is sorry for you, but I really have no way to resist those invisible heavy pressure..."
