Text Chapter 1914 Linghu's Worry

He did not say anything modest. He followed the Lord Qing's intention to convey the idea of ​​treating Zhan Ping and his wife well, and then shifted his attention to the battle in Ying Jiuguang's old nest.

After solving the problem with Zhan Ruyi, the Lord Qing's attention naturally turned to Ying Jiuguang.

The Marshal of Yinlu, Linghu Douzhong, who was speeding in the starry sky, was also paying close attention to the progress of the battle. He had no place to vent his worries.

He had to worry. His situation was special and he knew himself. Why did Tengfei and Cheng Taize rebel? Without the support of the Lord Qing, the two could not do this. The incident happened suddenly and both sides could cooperate. This shows that the Lord Qing had contacted the two people a long time ago. Why did the Lord Qing contact only these two people but not him?

He had a hard time saying it. He had just taken over as the Marshal of Yinlu not long ago, and the people below had not been completely sorted out. He couldn't just kill them and force them to clean up, right? The East Army had undergone a reorganization and the people were already unstable. If he did that again, he might force a mutiny, so he needed to take it slowly and not rush some people to jump off the wall.

Well, things are not going well, and Ying Jiuguang suddenly pops up here. Others see him as a marshal, but Leng Nuan knows it himself and is miserable.

Once Ying Jiuguang falls, Tengchong and Cheng Taize will take such a big risk to let him share a piece of the pie. Not to mention killing him, they will definitely make him stand aside and pick his fruits. If he surrenders to Qingzhu, Qingzhu will not accept him in order to appease Tengchong and Cheng Taize, unless Qingzhu hopes that the world will be in chaos and the situation will collapse completely. Qingzhu must have made some promises to persuade the two.

Surrender to the other three kings? Unless those three completely rebel, it is impossible to take him in without wanting to completely turn against Qingzhu. The subordinates of those three princes will not agree. The territory is so small, and a group of people come to squeeze it. Who can agree? Unless starting from him, Linghu Douzhong, everyone from top to bottom is willing to give up their positions and be digested by others, but then his own confidants will definitely not be willing to do so.

It is possible to surrender with the territory, but how can Tengchong and Cheng Taize agree? Without his territory, what is the difference from before? Do the two of them have to take such a big risk? In order to stabilize the situation, will the other three kings cooperate with Tengchong and Cheng Taize, or will they cooperate with him? Linghu Douzhong almost doesn't need to think too much.

After thinking about it, he can only hope that Ying Jiuguang can hold on and wait for his help. As long as he can help Ying Jiuguang get through this level, it will be fine. Even if he can help Ying Jiuguang get through this level, he can't climb up. Can Ying Jiuguang give him the position of king? He is still in his current position, at most he will be more valued by Ying Jiuguang, and he doesn't know how many of his confidants will die in this battle.

Damn, what's this! Linghu Douzhong cursed in his heart.

What he is most worried about now is the group of people under him. Some people are obviously not very obedient to him. He is very worried that someone will have evil intentions and turn against him in the battle, which will be a big trouble. But he couldn't wait until the people below were purged before rushing to help. By then, not only would the opportunity be lost, but a fight would also be a loss for his side.

At this point, he could only hope that Ying Jiuguang could hold on. As long as Ying Jiuguang could hold on, the people below would be afraid. After all, Ying Jiuguang's reputation was there. If Ying Jiuguang couldn't hold on, the aura of the dignified Ying Tianwang couldn't scare people anymore. If the dignified Ying Tianwang couldn't handle it, then his people would most likely mutiny.

It wouldn't have been so easy to mutiny in the past. The key point was that Ying Tianwang had suffered a series of failures recently. The incident at the Black Dragon Pond had a huge impact on the morale of the army. It was estimated that many people below were still cursing Ying Jiuguang along the way.

He could guess the thoughts of his subordinates by putting himself in their shoes. Once Ying Jiuguang defeated Tengfei and Cheng Taize, a large number of positions would have to be vacated in the territory of the Eastern Army. The Yinlu troops who had made contributions in the rescue would have to be reused and rewarded. Two positions of marshal would have to be vacated, not to mention other positions. This was an opportunity for his subordinates and also a hope to maintain the morale of the backbone personnel.

So he was begging the heavens and the earth to beg Ying Tianwang to hold on. He was really afraid that Ying Jiuguang would not be able to bear it and would run away. As long as Ying Jiuguang showed signs of defeat and retreated, his people would probably have their own plans.

So he kept passing on encouraging messages to his subordinates along the way, saying that the reinforcements of Hao Tianwang, Guang Tianwang, and Kou Tianwang would arrive soon, hoping to boost morale and give everyone hope.

After a thousand thoughts, Linghu Douzhong turned his head and asked the people around him: "What is the current situation of the recruited people from various sects in Yinlu? Why haven't they reported the progress? Why haven't they met any troops along the way?"

The general next to him really didn't want to tell him the truth, for fear of hitting him, but it was not good not to tell him after asking, and sighed: "The replies from various sects are basically still gathering people."

Linghu Douzhong knew that those sects were deliberately delaying as soon as he heard it, and he said with hatred: "Okay! Wait for me, and see how I will deal with them later!"

What he didn't know was that the Xiahou family had made a move in secret, and almost all the major cultivation sects in the Eastern Army were suppressed by an invisible hand. It might be difficult for others, but it was nothing for the Xiahou family. It was also very simple to suppress them. It was enough to grasp the handle of one or some important figures in a sect, which was something the Xiahou family was very good at.

For example, Miao Yi's handle, why did the Xiahou family always look on Miao Yi coldly? They knew that Miao Yi could not get out of the Five Finger Mountain of Xiahou Family. In the eyes of Xiahou Family, the strength that Miao Yi had accumulated was just to help them. As long as Xiahou Family was willing, they could destroy Miao Yi at any time!

Of course, this was all promoted by Xia Houling. Even Miao Yi didn't know this. Xia Houling was determined to overthrow Ying Jiuguang. It was impossible for Linghu Douzhong to count on these help. Xia Houling couldn't even lift a mosquito leg. will give it to him.

Not to mention these sects, for example, the people below rebelled against the enemy. Some people may think that it was forced by the situation. Maybe those who monitor the left department will think that it is their own contribution to the rebellion. Who would have thought that some of these effects were caused by the Xiahou family's calmness. What? If the Xiahou family wanted to support Ying Jiuguang, it would probably be a different story.

Why is the Xiahou family so feared? It has gone through several dynasties and dominated the world for many years. Its rich heritage is unimaginable to outsiders. The ability to overthrow several generations of overlords and raise up several generations of overlords is no child's play.

Xia Houling may not be able to get those brothers to cooperate with him in playing big games, but he can ask Cao Man to help spread rumors in the black market. Cao Man is not easy to cooperate, so he can let other brothers push the situation, and it is difficult for other brothers to refuse.

In the final analysis, Miao Yi just raised the issue of Ying Jiuguang. To put it seriously, he contributed to fanning the flames. But when it comes to overthrowing Ying Jiuguang this time, to a certain extent, it was the Xiahou family and Qingzhu. They have joined forces, and the two sides will join forces to put Ying Jiuguang to death.

Of course, Miao Yi also took advantage of this.

In the Yinlu Marshal's Mansion, Linghu Douzhong's wife, Shao Xianghua, was sitting in the main hall, her eyebrows deeply furrowed and her eyes full of worry. What she was worried about was exactly what Linghu Douzhong was worried about.

Originally, she didn't expect to go this far, but she was worried about whether the commander's life or death would be unpredictable when he went on an expedition.

However, now there was an old man with a sinister look on his face sitting in the main hall. He was talking to her very eloquently, and he was talking about Linghu Douzhong's worries.

This old man with sinister eyebrows is named Song Yuande, and he is Shao Xianghua's cousin in terms of seniority.

Shao Xianghua really didn't like this cousin. In secular terms, he was a typical idle, lazy person. In his early years, he came to Shao Xianghua to ask for an official position. Shao Xianghua helped him out of respect for his relatives. Unexpectedly, this cousin went too far and made the matter bigger, which angered Linghu Douchong and was defeated by Linghu Dou. Zhong kicked Bai Shen back, and Linghu Douzhong warned Shao Xianghua that such mud that could not hold up the wall would only do bad things and should not be used!

But this cousin had such a good relationship, but he couldn't do anything. In the end, he would just come here to ask for help. To put it bluntly, he just came here to ask for money.

Shao Xianghua also hated iron and wanted to ignore him. However, this person and his mother were still cousins ​​after all. He had to look at his deceased mother's affection among others. As long as this person could avoid causing trouble and ask for money, he would Give me some, there is no shortage of money here anyway.

What Shao Xianghua thought was that after this person passed away, he would completely cut off all contact with the family. The so-called first-generation relatives, second-generation representatives, third- and fourth-generations, that's what it meant. But as long as this person lives for one day, the Linghu family has a high position and has a certain reputation that must be paid attention to. It is not good-looking and unethical to spread the word about poor relatives. Everyone has to do superficial things. Really wealthy families care about this.

Who would have thought that after this cousin took the money, he became worried about Linghu Douzhong's situation and started to ask questions.

Shao Xianghua originally thought it was funny and was about to listen to a few words and then dismiss it. Unexpectedly, he discovered that what his cousin said seemed to make some sense and he listened carefully.

After his cousin finished expressing his opinions, Shao Xianghua asked suspiciously: "Cousin, why do you care about this?"

Song Yuande was stunned for a moment, and the accompanying servant standing beside him quickly looked over and took the tea cup on the coffee table and offered it, "Master, moisten your throat."

Song Yuande quickly opened the lid and took a few sips, taking the opportunity to cover up and think about it.

After putting down the tea cup, Song Yuande touched the storage bracelet on his wrist, coughed and said with a smile: "Xianghua, we are a family after all. The handsome man is good, so I can follow him and take advantage of him, right?"

Shao Xianghua glanced at the storage bracelet on his wrist, and was immediately angry and funny. He had been making trouble for a long time just because of this, worried that there would be no place to ask for money after the Linghu family collapsed.

She finally understood, but she was also quite relieved. No matter how bad the cousin was, he still wanted the Linghu family to be well. After all, the money he had spent all these years was not in vain, and he finally had some conscience. She smiled and said, "Cousin, does he still understand this?"

Upon hearing these contemptuous words, Song Yuande was immediately dissatisfied and glared: "Xianghua, what you said is true. Who can't use their brains to talk without practicing? I'm not in the right position. Otherwise, I’m no worse than others.”

Shao Xianghua quickly put out her hand to stop, fearing that this man would ask her for an official position again, so she changed the subject and asked: "According to what you said, if something happens to King Ying Tian, ​​wouldn't the commander have nowhere to go?"

Song Yuande came casually, "Who said that women can take refuge in Tianni Palace! Doesn't Tianni Palace still have a territory directly under its jurisdiction?" To be continued.
