Zhang Lanyue smiled meaningfully, came back to her senses, and said with high spirits: "You know, one advantage of being the leader of the country is that you can have access to all the secrets of the Yaowu Clan."
"After stabilizing the situation in the country, I went to the library every day and accidentally discovered a secret."
"oh?"
Lin Xiaodong tilted his head.
"You should step back first!"
Zhang Lanyue shouted away Huang Tianyu who was outside the door.
"yes!"
Huang Tianyu bowed through the door and left.
After confirming that no one was outside the door, Zhang Lanyue drank a drink and whispered: "I am not the first king who cannot light the sacred fire."
"Oh..." Lin Xiaodong gradually felt bad.
Seeing Lin Xiaodong's change of expression, Zhang Lanyue laughed mockingly: "The trick you and I have played has been played by the late emperor a long time ago."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong lowered his hands, put them on his thighs, and slowly leaned back on the chair.
Zhang Lanyue turned her head to look at the candles on the table and asked Lin Xiaodong: "Do you know how the previous emperors kept the sacred fire alive?"
Looking at the candle, Lin Xiaodong shook his head.
Zhang Lanyue picked up the candlestick and said, "Dragon spine oil."
"One drop can burn for a day, and a candle can burn for a month."
Lin Xiaodong suddenly realized.
"I found a whole warehouse of Dragon's Back Oil in the secret vault of the palace. I can't finish it in ten lifetimes. Why do you think so much of this stuff is stored in the palace?"
Zhang Lanyue was confident of winning. He put one leg on top of the other, held the wine glass towards Lin Xiaodong, and said: "If you extinguish the holy fire, I can replace it with dragon spine oil. My people will guard the holy fire day and night. You threaten
Can’t reach me.”
Putting his hand on the table and holding the wine glass, Lin Xiaodong thought for a long time before he came back to his senses, clinked glasses with Zhang Lanyue, and said with a smile: "Even if I extinguish the holy fire, relying on the Dragon's Back Oil, you can still be the leader of the country."
Zhang Lanyue nodded and took a sip: "Not bad."
"But in order to prove that I can't threaten you even if I extinguish the holy fire, you can only tell me the secret that only the leader of the Yaowu tribe knows."
"And now, I know the secret of Dragon's Back Oil."
Lin Xiaodong smiled at Zhang Lanyue and drank a drink.
"If I kill you, no one will know."
"You want to make a bet with me to see if I can shout out the three words Dragon's Back Oil before I die?"
Lin Xiaodong leaned forward and asked with a provocative smile.
Zhang Lanyue's eyes turned red and she stared straight at Lin Xiaodong. She clenched her fists and gasped for a long time, but finally did not move. She was the head of the country, not a gambler.
"You really think I am a cold-blooded tyrant."
With a slight sigh, Zhang Lanyue looked gloomy and walked to the window.
"I am gathering the army just to show the people how powerful our Yaowu tribe is. If I win this battle, it will be fine. If I lose, I may not be able to protect my position as the leader of the country."
Lin Xiaodong also stood up: "As for those warlike tribal chiefs, I believe the king has already figured out how to deal with them."
Zhang Lanyue turned around and leaned against the window, blinking: "Of course."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Zhang Lanyue nodded: "Now, the business is over."
The robe fell to the floor, and they met again after a short separation. However, the two of them had their own thoughts, only indulgence and violence, and a little less warmth.
"You won't let me run with my pants up again tomorrow morning, will you?"
"Same trick, novel the first time, boring the second time."
The next day, Lin Xiaodong woke up and found no one beside his bed. He packed up his things and went out, only to see Huang Tianyu standing outside the door.
"Where is the king?"
Lin Xiaodong asked.
"The leader of the country has returned to the court. We have withdrawn our troops. I hope the human race will do the same."
Huang Tianyu said coldly.
"The human race is afraid of the Yaowu tribe. If you withdraw, they won't dare to cause trouble."
"What did you say to the king?
Now is the best time to defeat the human race in one fell swoop, how could the king miss this opportunity?"
Clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, Huang Tianyu spoke with reluctance.
“The war between the two countries has cost people and money and caused countless casualties. Is this what you want?
The ruler of the country has a kind heart and cannot bear the loss of life, so he will definitely be a famous king."
Lin Xiaodong smiled.
Huang Tianyu snorted coldly: "My master ordered me to send you out of the city."
"Please!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and held his hands.
Huang Tianyu led people and sent Lin Xiaodong out of the city gate.
Lin Xiaodong crossed the river and rushed towards Zhou Lingcheng.
On the city tower of Zhou Ling City, Princess Xiyun, Xu Zhengyang, Liu Guangyao, Guo Yushan, Dong Ziming, and Ma Yutang were all there.
Xu Zhengyang looked towards Liaolu City with a telescope in hand, and saw the flags fluttering in the city, and the Yaowu Clan's millions of troops were evacuating one after another.
"They seem to have really withdrawn their troops!"
Xu Zhengyang handed the telescope to Princess Xiyun.
Taking the telescope, Princess Xiyun also looked towards Liaolu City and could see that there were many fewer guards on the city wall.
Liu Guangyao closed his eyes and made some calculations, and said happily: "Kongde, there is no war here!"
Guo Yushan said with a cold face: "The Yaowu tribe is full of tricks. They may have colluded with Lin Xiaodong to make us think they are withdrawing their troops, but they are actually laying an ambush!"
After hearing what Guo Yushan said, Xu Zhengyang ordered: "Send someone to investigate again!"
"I don't know what Mr. Lin said to the Yaowu Clan leader, but he actually asked her to withdraw her troops!"
Dong Ziming said quietly.
"Hmph! Lin Xiaodong is colluding with the leader of Yaowu Clan. This person cannot be retained!"
Guo Yushan rolled his eyes.
After glaring at Guo Yushan, Princess Xiyun stamped her foot and said angrily: "Lin Xiaodong has already obtained the military order. He has done what he said. Now that the Yaowu tribe has indeed retreated, even if he cannot be rewarded, he should not be punished!"
Xu Zhengyang narrowed his eyes and followed Princess Xiyun and said, "Military discipline is strict. Since Lin Xiaodong does what he says, at least in the army, there should be no further investigation."
Seeing that Princess Xiyun was angry, Xu Zhengyang helped her speak again, and Guo Yushan shut up.
"Princess, General, look at that person, isn't it Lin Xiaodong?"
Suddenly, Ma Yutang pointed towards the city, and it was Lin Xiaodong who was walking slowly on the road.
Princess Xiyun held her chest and let out a sigh of relief: "Great, he's fine!"
"Open the city gate!"
Xu Zhengyang shouted to the city gate downstairs and led everyone down to the door.
The door opened and Lin Xiaodong took a look, everyone was there.
"The Yaowu tribe has retreated."
Lin Xiaodong looked back.
Xu Zhengyang raised his hand to Lin Xiaodong and said: "Master Lin is true to his word. He can defeat millions of demonic Wu tribe soldiers by himself and stop the war. This is a great achievement!"
Lin Xiaodong looked at Guo Yushan coldly and said, "So, my head doesn't need to be chopped off?"
Holding the sword and turning his head away, Guo Yushan looked extremely ugly.
"Are you okay?"
Princess Xiyun walked up eagerly and hugged Lin Xiaodong's arm.
"Princess Lao is worried about me. I have nothing to do with my humble duties."
"The Yaowu Clan has withdrawn its troops. Should we, the human race, also withdraw our troops?"
Lin Xiaodong raised his head and looked at Xu Zhengyang.
"This is none of your business."
Guo Yushan sneered.
"If I can make the Yaowu tribe retreat, I can get them to come back. This matter is not my responsibility?"
"You..." Gritting his teeth and tilting his head, Guo Yushan pointed at Lin Xiaodong, too angry to say a word.
Xu Zhengyang said sternly: "Of course, after I find out whether the Yaowu tribe has really withdrawn, and then report it to the king, I can withdraw my troops."
