Chapter 2623: Chain Trap
Mu Zhizong sighed: "As I said just now, do you think Yinglu and others will be satisfied? Besides, if so, our Heavenly Demon Palace will stand directly opposite the Iron-faced Heavenly King. Perhaps he did not have the idea of attacking the Demon Sect immediately, so Once it comes, it turns out..."
This seemed to remind Li Yun: "That's right... My Heavenly Demon Palace is deeply rooted, even if it is hard to bite off the iron mask, I may not act in a hurry, but if Yinglu is kept, he will have no choice."
If you don't stay, you will definitely have to fight Yinglu. If you stay, you will have to fight Tiemen, and you won't even be able to stand in the middle. The arrival of Yinglu is simply a huge problem.
An imperceptible light flashed across Mu Zhizhu's eyes: "...If we help Tie Mian attack Yinglu and thus make good friends with Tie Mian, is it possible to negotiate some terms..."
Li Yun was startled and suddenly looked back at him: "You mean, choose Iron Mask?"
Mu Law Enforcement quickly handed over his hand: "This is what my subordinate said. Your Majesty, you see, Tiemian has never offended our Demon Sect's territory, which proves that he has some scruples, and the Demon Sect's power has always controlled the development and is limited to a radius of thousands of miles. We are not It’s impossible to live with him.”
Li Yun pondered for a long time: "However, that Iron Mask is even more unkind. Once he eats the Yinglu, there will be no rivals in the entire southern Xinjiang, and sooner or later he will target us."
Mu Zhizhu said seriously: "First, this is a matter for the future. At least we can solve the immediate urgent need first, and then find a solution later. Second, we are not that far away from the Chu State. If the Iron Man is pressing hard in the future, we will We can take refuge in Dachu, but Iron Mask will definitely feel extremely uncomfortable, so he may not be able to do anything to us in the future."
Li Yun's eyes moved: "There is some truth... Our Demon Sect is in a special position. Once we join Da Chu, it will be equivalent to digging a large piece of southern territory, directly threatening the Iron Face. Maybe... we can really continue to be independent despite mutual constraints... …”
"My Majesty is aware of this, so based on the above, while helping Tie Mian, I also know the benefits and disadvantages. I think he will not not consider it carefully."
Li Yun's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to be persuaded, but he still seemed to be a little hesitant: "If Tie Mian and Chu State had already been in contact..."
Mu Zhizhu shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible. Xiang Chen of Chu State has always believed that Southern Xinjiang will be in his pocket sooner or later. There is a tiger sleeping soundly on the side of his bed. He will never form an alliance with Iron Face. On the contrary, he will definitely treat me. The Demon Palace is interested."
"Not bad..." Li Yun's expression kept changing, as if he was weighing things over and over in his mind.
And at this moment, someone suddenly came to report.
"Your Majesty, the special envoy from the State of Chu is here to visit!"
Both of them were startled, and Li Yun's eyes flashed: "Chu Country?"
"Yes, the person who came here claims to be sent by the Imperial Advisor Yu Qingcheng."
Mu Zhizhu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, it seems that Yu Qingcheng and us have thought together, perhaps to restrain Tiemian."
Li Yun suddenly punched his fist: "That would be great, please come in!"
Not long after, a middle-aged man, accompanied by two attendants, entered the Demon Palace.
The visitor didn't talk nonsense and just explained his purpose.
Li Yun looked overjoyed when he heard this.
Yu Qingcheng's meaning is very simple, but also very clear. She wants to get rid of Yinglu and hopes that the Demon Sect will not form an alliance with him. In return, she will meet with the Iron-faced King and preserve the Demon Sect as a neutral force to serve as a bridge between Chu and Southern Xinjiang. buffer zone between.
As for this matter, she stated that she had sent envoys to contact the Iron-faced King. Iron-faced King also regarded Yinglu as the biggest threat and agreed with Yu Qingcheng's opinion to delineate the boundary and conclude an alliance with Dachu.
The Iron-faced King asked Yu Qingcheng to convey the message on his behalf, hoping that the Demon Palace would not protect Yinglu. In return, he would promise to form an alliance with the Demon Lord so that the Heavenly King's army and the Demon Sect would not be in conflict with each other.
Mu Zhizhu beamed with joy: "This means that we can help Tiemen attack Yinglu. Not only will we win Tiemen's favor, but we will also get help from Chu."
At this point, Li Yun was finally overjoyed.
Mu Zhenzong held up his hands and said: "Our demon army has been prepared for a long time, and now it comes in handy. Please make your decision."
Li Yun said decisively: "Mu Zhizhu, go and see the Iron-faced King in person. Tell him that I will raise troops to attack him from the front and back to ensure that the deer cannot fly without its wings!"
——
How far did Yinglu spurt out a mouthful of old blood?
He never thought that he was carefully thinking of words to send a message to the Heavenly Demon Palace, hoping to form an alliance with them to fight against the Iron Mask. However, unexpectedly, the scout Pegasus came to report, and the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Demon Palace raised an army of 40,000 to block him. On the way forward, he claimed that the Demon Sect had no contact with him and hoped that he would not step into the Demon Sect's sphere of influence.
This means shutting yourself out.
But now, he has no choice but to stay within the scope of the Demon Palace, which is his only option.
"Dad!" Yinghu's eyes were spitting fire: "The Demon Lord and the traitor are adding insult to injury. Let's fight. We can capture the Heavenly Demon Palace before Tie Mian arrives. Based on the natural dangers of Leigong Mountain and the rich reserves of the Demon Sect, we will definitely be able to fight with the Tie Mian again." A showdown between thieves!"
Yinglu's face was as dark as water and he said nothing for a long time.
But Yingbao couldn't sit still anymore: "Dad, what the eldest brother said is that we still have a chance to fight against the Demon Palace. If we escape back to Chu State, Xiang Chen and Yu Qingcheng will never keep us. Dad, it's time to break up." Cut it off, the Heavenly King’s army is no longer fifty miles away.”
Finally, Yinglu slapped Shuai An to pieces: "They are all thieves! Send the order, attack!"
Yinghu and Yingbao clasped their fists at the same time: "Follow the order!"
Yinglu mentioned the broken halberd: "I am going to fight for my father. There is no room for failure in this battle!"
On the 30th of the first month, Yinglu personally supervised the army and attacked the Demon Sect's territory. Demon Lord Li Yun refused and personally commanded 40,000 demon troops to intercept them.
The two sides didn't say anything and started a fierce battle.
Li Yun relied on the geographical advantage to hold off Ying Lu's 50,000 troops until four hours later, when the Iron-faced Heavenly King's army arrived.
The two sides attacked from both sides, and Ying Lu was completely defeated. Ying Bao was killed in the battle, and 30,000 of the 50,000 troops were captured. Ying Lu fled to the southern Chu territory under the protection of Ying Hu and 5,000 personal soldiers.
Ying Wuming's men began to pursue symbolically, but they would not kill Ying Lu. This person would still be useful to Ying Wuming and Yu Qingcheng if he escaped back to Chu.
However, in addition to this, Jiang Fan and Ying Wuming had another personal thought. When the Bailing Army sniped and killed the two, it was Ying Lu who ordered his eldest son Ying Hu to lead the team to rescue them. Letting him live was also a way to repay the favor.
Li Yun was in high spirits, guarding his troops and planning to meet with the Iron-faced Heavenly King in front of the battle.
The Iron-faced Heavenly King came, but he did not wear the iconic iron mask. His young age surprised Li Yun.
"Is the Iron-faced Heavenly King across from you, Brother Louis?" Li Yun asked loudly.
Ying Wuming laughed loudly: "It is me, thank you very much for the help from the Demon Sect this time."
As he said this, he actually rode forward alone, looking very enthusiastic.
Seeing this, Li Yun thought it was the right time for both sides to get along, so he immediately rode forward, intending to have a cordial conversation, and it would be best to take this opportunity to make a treaty.
When the two were about ten feet away, Ying Wuming walked faster and faster, and the white tiger under his crotch suddenly jumped up, and it was eight feet in a flash, which scared Li Yun. Before he could come to his senses, he saw the Iron-faced Heavenly King suddenly jump up, and the shining golden stick in his hand smashed down on his head with the power of splitting mountains and rocks.
