Chapter 100 The Dragon Fights in the Wild, Its Blood Is Black and Yellow

"The Western Wilderness is going to be destroyed?" In the Nanli Palace, Mang You was laughing with all the generals: "This is really crazy."

Facing the ridicule, Li Qinglin's smile did not change: "There are not only two countries in the world, Nanli and Xihuang. There are many big countries in China, and the national power is a hundred times stronger than you and me. I am afraid you barbarians have forgotten."

The generals in Xihuang were still laughing, but Mangyou realized something, and his smile gradually faded.

Li Qinglin seemed to be educating his subordinates, and slowly said: "The terrain of our southern border is complicated, and the roads are rugged. If the big country in China wants to capture it, the road will be difficult and the transportation will be inconvenient. Quite worthless. There used to be soldiers from a big country coming to the city, but we became a minister, so we let us self-govern and pay tribute. When that big country itself is destroyed, our Nanli is still there, and we have become an independent country again. This is my Nanli away from the eternal root.”

Speaking of this, Li Qinglin looked at Mangyou with pity: "You barbarians have just risen for less than a hundred years. Your culture is poor and your history is shallow. I'm afraid you don't know the truth about it. Do you really think that a stronger country does not exist?"

Mang You didn't get angry, but his expression gradually became serious: "Are you... in collusion with the big country of China?"

"The north is now Qian State." Li Qinglin propped up the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand, and said with a leisurely smile, "A month ago, this king sent an envoy to proclaim him a minister...well, he is not actually called a minister, he is still appointed by Qian State. King Nanli, he even sent a lot of property to express his condolences to Qianguo."

"I never imagined that you, Li Qinglin, would be willing to become a vassal!"

"So you are just a general, and I am the king." Li Qinglin said leisurely: "Politics doesn't care about face, it only cares about results."

"The result is that Qianguo didn't see a single soldier to protect you?"

"I also think they can come... But the road is inconvenient for them, and it's snowy and icy, so of course there can't be any large army. Sending thousands of elites to defend me, if they don't want to, there is nothing they can do." Li Qinglin He smiled and said: "But it's not that there are other ways... They don't want to come to defend the city, but a vanguard pointing at the land of the Western Wilderness, the nature is a bit different. Conquering a country, you and I are very interested, what to do Of course the emperor is also very interested."

Mangyou's expression changed greatly: "Your side generals offering the pass, it really is a trick, to drag us to Nanli!"

"Of course it's a trick. Could I, Li Qinglin, be such a foolish lord that no one would be loyal to? I would all join the enemy and lead the way. Thinking about it, I know it's not normal. Mang Zhan has no brains, and neither do you Mang You?" Li Qinglin smiled and said: " Now that the whole country is raising troops in the Western Wilderness, going deep into Nanli, I have an empty stomach, and I don’t know what the end will be if I fight thousands of pioneers..."

All the generals in the West Wilderness changed their faces.

Mangyou sternly said: "It's alarming, if that's the case, why didn't you let the Lihuo army defend the city, but instead sent all of them to Hengshan County, waiting to die empty-handed?"

Li Qinglin shook his head with some regret: "If that's the case, you will return to the division and force the army to retreat, or you will also go to surrender. In the end, the situation will not change, and you will make a comeback next year. What's the use? I want to settle the situation once and for all."

Before the words were finished, arrows rained from nowhere outside the palace gate, shooting all the soldiers that Mang You had arranged to guard outside the gate into hedgehogs. And the palace gate seemed to have some mechanism, and it closed suddenly.

At the same time, the entire palace suddenly burst into flames, almost without any time to spread, the entire square was completely engulfed in flames, including Li Qinglin and Mang You, were instantly engulfed by flames.

Li Qinglin laughed loudly in the fire: "Your Xihuang's strongest bloody army and you old generals who are accustomed to fighting all died here, and the fate of the West has been lost. Nanli is just a monk who practiced Taoism and fainted. The princess and Lihuo died. All the elites are intact, as long as she is not stupid, of course it is you, Xihuang, not me, Nanli, who will destroy the country!"

How could the Western Wilderness army care about what he was talking about, and crowded towards the palace gate in such a chaotic manner, how could they break open at this moment?

Mang You was cold all over.

I am afraid that even if Dagan sent troops to help him defend the city, Li Qinglin would refuse. He clearly used his body as bait on purpose, used his own life, and used Nanli Palace as his tomb, dragging the fate of the entire Western Wilderness to its end!

He roared furiously, and with the flames all over his body, he slashed at Li Qinglin with his giant axe.

Li Qinglin held his spear horizontally, and the two of them were engulfed in flames at the same time.

"This king doesn't have a long lifespan. It's a joy to have so many warriors from the Western Wilderness buried for this king."

In the flames, Li Qinglin looked calm, as if he couldn't feel the pain of the flames: "I forgot to tell you, this fire is the blazing array of your Donghuazi. , now it can be regarded as well used, and it has never failed the efforts of the people of Nanli."

No one paid attention to him at all, the fire quickly burned everyone's body, everyone rolled upside down, and the screams resounded through the sky, overshadowing Li Qinglin's words.

Mangyou fell to the ground with the huge axe, rolling on the ground in pain, and pointed at Li Qinglin with the last of his strength: "Since you ascended the throne, you have practiced Taoism in a stupid way, is it all a lie?"

Li Qinglin silently leaned his gun on the ground and closed his eyes: "No, at that time...it was true."

"Boom!" The palace collapsed, and the sky was filled with flames, turning the sky red.

…………

Minghe quietly looked at the flames above Lihuo City, and remembered the conversation he had with Li Qinglin a few days ago.

"You really don't want to tell Qing Jun well about your arrangement?"

"Qingjun knows, it is impossible to agree, and it will be troublesome if he has to die with Lihuocheng."

"Then...Pindao told you the origin of the jade pendant, why didn't you send anyone to look for it, but gave the jade pendant to Qing Jun instead?"

Li Qinglin stared at the carved dragons on the beams with ecstasy, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I used to be worried, and I was also shaken. I was greedy for power and wanted to live forever... It was not as great as I imagined. When I found out When I couldn't cultivate even a trace of immortal energy according to Qin Yi's formula, I was even extremely irritable, beating and scolding my concubines, whipping and killing palace officials—maybe I'm just a layman, and I still have the potential to be a tyrant."

Minghe looked at him quietly and didn't answer.

"But Daoist, people are so strange... When they wake up one day, they become sober as never before... I know that not only I am hopeless, but Nanli is also hopeless, it has rotted into the marrow of my bones ... If there is a few years to slowly reverse, there may be a chance, but Xihuang will not give us this time, they don't even wait for the spring, there will definitely be a thunderous surprise attack this winter."

Minghe still listened quietly.

"In such a short period of time, let alone Qingjun, even if I didn't fall under the curse and worked hard, Nanli would not be able to survive this calamity. The previous lofty ambitions were just wishful thinking and self-deception." Li Qinglin laughed: "So we should What are you doing? Waiting to welcome the invasion of the Western Wilderness, perish after a bloody battle, and become a few laments in the history books?"

Ming He finally said: "Pin Dao asked why you didn't go to the owner of the jade pendant instead of asking about your national policy."

"Because I don't want to look for it anymore." Li Qinglin said with a smile: "If you die, you will die. How can people not die? I have found out what my original intention is."

"What is it?"

"No matter how much meritorious deeds you do, you will end up with a pile of loess and a few feet of graves. If this is the case, why did I want this meritorious deeds in the first place?"

Minghe shook his head: "Pindao never knew why you want this achievement."

Li Qinglin's eyes became a little strange: "The Taoist priest's family is extraordinary, maybe someone can live forever? But they can survive in the cave, hide in the world, and people don't know it. Compared with the shining history and the admiration of all ages... who is the eternal life?" ?”

Ming He was taken aback for a moment, and fell silent.

"Everyone has their own aspirations. I'm afraid there is no answer to this question." Li Qinglin laughed again: "Qingjun loves to seek immortals. If she can let go of the shackles of Nanli one day, then the jade pendant will be her guide. I'll use it. But the Taoist priest will tell Qin Yi something for me when he sees Qin Yi in the future."

"Please say."

"Well...he is a worthy friend, and I feel sorry for exhausting him all this time."

Ming He wondered, "That's it?"

"No... I once told him that I would rather believe that the great sage is dead than accept that monkey king crossing his knees and becoming a Buddha forever." Li Qinglin said slowly: "I would like to ask the Taoist priest to tell my friend that although I have been shaken , but finally did it.”

Looking at the fire soaring into the sky, Minghe remembered the hexagram he had calculated when he first met Li Qinglin in Zhangjiazhuang.

When a dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow.

He wasn't fighting Donghuazi, or even Xihuang. From the beginning to the end, he was fighting Changsheng.
