After the young commander of the Lieyang Empire was kidnapped, the Lieyang Empire finally settled down and did not launch another attack for several days.
Three days later, a bright firework exploded in the west.
"I wonder how long you can hold your breath, but I didn't expect that I couldn't bear it after only three days." Leng Yan patted Daolin on the shoulder, laughed and rode out of the mountain gate.
After leaving the mountain gate, he accelerated suddenly and headed directly towards the Lieyang Empire's camp.
Daolin and Han Zimo stood on the Great Wall of Hewu Mountain and watched Leng Yan's figure go away.
………
Outside the million-strong camp of the Lieyang Empire Legion, Leng Yan slowly walked out of the dark night on horseback.
"Stop, don't move, we are going to search you." The soldiers standing guard received the news that the leader of the Shenwu Empire was coming to meet with Li Shuai, but when Leng Yan appeared, they decided to check.
"Is this the way you treat guests in Lieyang?" Leng Yan said with a smile instead of being angry.
"Stop talking nonsense and raise your hands." A soldier slowly approached Leng Yan holding a spear.
"Bang..." Leng Yan stared at the soldier with cold eyes, then raised his fist and punched into the distance.
The huge fist shadow instantly shattered a hillside not far away, and gravel and dust fell from the sky.
"I haven't used weapons for a long time, and I don't need weapons to kill you." Leng Yan rolled his eyes at the soldiers and said coldly.
After saying that, he ignored the stunned soldiers and walked towards the camp in a swaggering manner.
The soldiers who heard the sound walked out of the military tent one after another and directly surrounded Leng Yan.
Leng Yan didn't care, his eyes swept over this group of people, and he roughly estimated that there must be at least several thousand people.
"Li Shuai... you invited me here and you're just going to entertain guests like this?" Leng Yan summoned his inner strength and shouted directly.
The sound rang out and spread directly into the camp.
Not long after, Li Aimin walked through the crowd, probably because in his home stadium, he lost the humility he had in Hewu Mountain.
"You all, please step back. General Leng is coming with me. My father is waiting for you in the main tent." After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for any cold words.
Leng Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, and anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
The soldiers of the Lieyang Empire made way for them, but they did not disperse. Instead, they all stared at him with eyes full of hatred.
"Put your eyes away. You invaders are not worthy of looking at me like this." Leng Yan said softly.
"You fart..."
"You are looking for death..."
The cold words instantly angered the group of soldiers, and many of them cursed loudly.
Leng Yan smiled instead, this was his purpose. Whether you are angry or not, you don't dare to touch me even if you are angry.
Listening to the constant insults, Leng Yan's heart felt calm, but Li Aimin, who was walking in front, kept frowning.
After passing through the crowd, the two of them came to a huge tent.
"Father, please bring me Leng Yan." Li Aimin said respectfully.
But there was no sound coming from inside the tent. He sneered coldly and stepped forward to lift the curtain and walked in. Li Aimin wanted to stop him but was too late.
Walking into the big tent, Leng Yan saw an old man in his sixties looking at the sand table with his back to him.
Leng Yan sneered and found a chair to sit down. Li Shuai obviously wanted to give himself a show of strength. He didn't need to be polite to such a person.
Li Aimin followed in. He stared at Leng Yan and said nothing. The whole tent was extremely quiet.
After a long time, Li Shuai slowly said: "The third master of the Leng family is really a young talent. He is not afraid of danger and has great courage."
Seeing that the real master spoke first, Leng Yan knew that he had won the brief confrontation just now.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li..." Leng Yan stood up and bowed slightly.
Li Shuai turned around. He was a cheerful old man, and the years seemed to have left little trace on his face.
"Speaking of which, your father and I are considered friends. We once fought on the battlefield here. Of course, one side was for Shenwu and the other was for Lieyang. Speaking of which, the war between the two countries has indeed lasted for too many years." Li Shuai leaned against him.
On the sand table, he looked at Leng Yan with bright eyes and said.
"Presumably Li Shuai doesn't want to continue. After all, a lot of people have died." Leng Yan said with a smile.
"How can we decide whether we will die more or less?" Li Shuai said expressionlessly.
"Although we can't decide, there is always a chance as long as we work hard." Leng Yan shook his head and said.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Let's get straight to the point. I already know what you asked the fourth child to convey before. I can't agree to this condition." Li Shuai sighed and said.
"Li Shuai, since the war started, you have also seen that although our army is not large in number, its overall strength is not worse than yours. Even after all this time, you have not defeated Hewu Mountain."
"Now your grandson is also in my hands. It is precisely because he is in my hands that we can negotiate here." Leng Yan said with no sign of weakness.
"I, the son of the Li family, are not afraid of death. We cannot withdraw our troops just because of this. There is no need to discuss this condition." Li Shuai waved his hand and said.
"Okay, let's chat about family affairs today. I want to ask you, if you put yourself in someone else's shoes, what would you do if Lieyang experienced what Shenwu experienced?" Leng Yan nodded and asked.
"The empire belongs to the emperor. Whatever the emperor wants to do, we, as subordinates, must obey his orders." Li Shuai said directly without hesitation.
After hearing this, Leng Yan stood up directly and looked at Li Shuai with narrowed eyes, a look of contempt on his face.
"Hmph... Okay, it seems there is no need for us to continue talking. See you on the battlefield tomorrow morning."
After saying that, Leng Yan turned around and walked towards the outside of the tent. Li Aimin took a step across to block his way.
"Do you still want to fight with me?" Leng Yan looked at Li Aimin with disdain and mocked.
"General Leng, stay..." At this moment, Li Shuai's voice sounded from behind.
"What? Li Shuai also wants to keep me?" Leng Yan asked, turning his head.
"General Leng, please take a seat. There are some things we can still talk about." Li Shuai walked up with a smile, patted Leng Yan's shoulder gently, took him back to the chair and said.
"The conditions are still the ones I said, I don't want to hear anything else." Leng Yan said softly.
"It is indeed a blessing that the people of Shenwu can have the protection of the Leng family for thousands of lives."
"Li Shuai, you are too generous. We just want peace. Everything Lieyang and Chiyue have done is to push us to a dead end."
"If we don't resist, we are waiting to die. I asked Li Shuai the same question just now, but your answer proves that we can't reach an agreement."
"Actually, I don't understand the emperor's sudden decision, especially to cooperate with Chi Yue to launch a war. If it were me, it would be unbearable to be targeted like this."
"But it's hard to disobey the emperor's will, and war has started in the southern border of Shenwu. People are dying every day, and we don't want to think about the loss of lives. However, it is impossible to withdraw the troops. The Li family cannot explain the withdrawal."
"Then what else are we talking about?" Leng Yan asked.
"Let's talk about other solutions." Li Shuai waved his hand to let Li Aimin leave and then said with a smile.
