When Ye Fan arrived at Yanmen Pass, the first reception banquet ended in less than an hour.
This was still the case when Shen Chuge's appearance relaxed the atmosphere a lot.
The conflict over the golden leadership position not only cost Zhu Yuanzhang and the others a hundred military sticks, but also made Ye Fan lose his interest in eating well.
The next morning, Ye Fan got up early to practice.
After the Shenjiabao battle and many days of maneuvering and breaking through, the excess energy in Ye Fan's body was completely dissipated.
His body temperature returned to normal, and his weak skills also returned, allowing Ye Fan to strengthen his body and prevent him from losing control.
During practice, Ye Fan felt it again.
The power of Dantian is no longer the same as before, surging, but it is always limited to the left arm and cannot spread throughout the body.
Now, the power of Dantian can flow into his limbs, so he no longer needs to resort to the dragon-slaying technique to bluff.
He can now fight the enemy with real swords and guns.
Ye Fan was once worried that after his vain skills fell, his realm would fall back to the Yellow Realm or the Mysterious Realm.
But after some operation, he felt that he was in the perfect state of stability.
And the stability this time is ten times stronger than the last time.
His current state of perfection seems to have accumulated over decades.
This allows Ye Fan's tendons to better withstand tempering or the impact of enemies.
What pleased Ye Fan the most was that the energy in Dantian could overflow all over the body, but the skill of slaying the dragon did not disappear.
His left hand can still shine.
If Ye Fan concentrates all his energy on his left hand, he can send out seven killing rays in one breath.
Of course, once the seven dragon-slaying techniques are over, Ye Fan will consume 90% of his energy, leaving only the strength to escape.
This made Ye Fan happier than ever before.
He no longer has to worry about walking away, nor does he have to bluff every day to scare the enemy. He can give it a go and fight at any time.
After Ye Fan finished practicing and took a shower, he looked at the time and ran back to the bedroom.
He took out the satellite phone that Xu Dingfeng had handled last night, and then called Song Hongyan who was far away in Longdu.
The call was quickly connected, and Ye Fan told the woman about his recovery.
Song Hongyan was very happy when she heard this: "Husband, have you really recovered?"
"Great, great. You have returned to the top and have consolidated your skills. I don't need to worry too much."
"Otherwise, if you were alone at Yanmen Pass, I would be afraid that a huge change would happen and you would not be able to cope with it."
The woman's tone became much more relaxed: "I have even thought about asking Miao Fenglang and Atagu to find you."
Song Hongyan knew that Ye Fan was killing everyone in Shenjiabao, but she also knew that Ye Fan was "obsessed" and had not fully recovered.
Once Ye Fan returns to normal, it's hard to say to what extent his skills will decline.
So she was always worried about Ye Fan's safety.
"Don't worry, I have recovered now."
Ye Fan smiled and reassured Song Hongyan: "We can't deal with thousands of troops, but we can still run away."
"That's good. I have life protection, so I feel relieved."
Song Hongyan smiled charmingly: "By the way, you have arrived at the border now. When are you going to withdraw?"
"I have received information that Temu Wuyue is gathering the 400,000 troops while digesting the fruits of victory in Tiannan Province."
"It is estimated that in the next few days, she will send her troops to Yanmen Pass to fight the 100,000 border troops."
"If you don't push back Xiang Liancheng's 300,000 troops, Shen Qiye and the 100,000 border troops will be attacked from two sides."
"I guess you want to stand up and retreat at the critical moment."
"But I'm worried that something will happen, or maybe the Ninth Princess and the others will be determined to push Shen Qiye forward without giving you face..." "Then our efforts these days will be in vain."
"After all, Ninth Princess, Xiang Liancheng and the others have surrounded Yanmen Pass for so long and have consumed too much manpower, material and financial resources."
"The interests involved are not billions or billions, but a country's territory, resources and market."
Song Hongyan said softly: "Husband, why don't you meet the Ninth Princess and the others as soon as possible?"
Ye Fan let out a burst of hearty laughter, and then responded to Song Hongyan with a smile: "Honey, don't worry, I have always been self-aware."
"I will not regard myself as a superior god who can make the Ninth Princess and the others withdraw their troops unconditionally with just one order."
"These days, all face is based on interests. Otherwise, you can gain face once, but not a second time."
"That's why I called you today."
"I need you to communicate with Ninth Princess and the others on my behalf."
"I will not let them retreat, nor will I let them go back empty-handed. I will give them full benefits."
"It's just that this benefit is not from Yanmenguan or the Shen family, but from the World Chamber of Commerce."
"Tell them that by following my arrangement, I will not only let them eat Xia Kingdom's meat, but also let them eat fatter meat."
Ye Fan lowered his voice: "Of course, you must obey my arrangements."
Song Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up: "You are not only trying to resolve the crisis at Yanmen Pass, you also want to destroy Temu Wuyue's 400,000-strong army?"
"The enemy's attack from two sides turned into a downpour to destroy the main force of the World Chamber of Commerce."
"That's right, that's right. If Tiemu Wuyue's 400,000 troops are destroyed, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will definitely be severely damaged."
"This will not only make Temujin lose the strength to annihilate the Shen family, but will also force the World Chamber of Commerce to switch from offense to defense."
"When the time comes, the Tulong Palace will raise its arms again, and both sides will join forces to gather 200,000 soldiers."
"The various forces and war commanders saw that the World Chamber of Commerce suffered successive defeats in Shenjiabao and Yanmen, and also lost 400,000 troops."
"Their original intention of vassaling the World Chamber of Commerce will also waver, and maybe they will turn around and attack Temujin."
"If this step goes well, Temujin and the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will probably not be able to survive the new year."
Song Hongyan saw through Ye Fan's thoughts at a glance, and also saw the consequences of the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce losing the battle at Yanmen Pass.
The entire Xia Kingdom only has about a million soldiers.
If the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce loses 400,000 soldiers, deduct another 200,000 from the Shen family and Tulong Palace.
The Tianxia Chamber of Commerce and the other war commanders only have four to five hundred thousand soldiers left.
It seems that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce camp still has the advantage, but in fact the commanders of all parties in the camp have their own thoughts.
After losing 400,000 troops at Yanmen Pass, they will cherish the remaining 500,000 soldiers. After all, this is their last capital.
As a result, the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce can no longer mobilize them as before.
Even if they were mobilized, it would be perfunctory.
This means that the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce will find it difficult to resist the Beishang Qin King of Tulongdian and Shen clan.
Temujin probably won't survive the winter.
Ye Fan couldn't help but praise: "My wife is smart, you know all my plans as soon as I mention it."
"Husband, what do you need me to do now?"
Song Hongyan's tone was full of joy: "What do you say, I will do!"
"Just tell the Ninth Princess what I just meant."
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Let's just say that she will lose a consort, but she will get half of the resources of the World Chamber of Commerce."
"clear."
Song Hongyan nodded, then smiled: "You awe her more than me, why don't you go see her in person?"
She felt that with Ye Fan's appearance, it would be easier to overwhelm the Ninth Princess and make it easier for her to take advantage of her.
"I can't leave Yanmen Pass now."
Ye Fan's eyes became deep: "I'm afraid that once I leave, there will be no trace of me here anymore..." Song Hongyan smiled playfully: "It seems that Yanmen Pass is also complicated."
Ye Fan whispered: "Do you still remember the pain when Takeda pricked you with a silver needle?"
Song Hongyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "I can no longer feel the pain."
Ye Fan sighed: "Human, after the scar is healed, it is easy to forget the pain..."
