Bai Qi didn't say much. After cutting off the contact with Shui Mulian, he called Zhehua.
When Zhehua learned that she was about to go on an expedition again, she couldn't help but smile. She had gained a lot from such a long period of cultivation, so she should go out for a walk.
Otherwise, you will feel bored.
As a result, she didn't know until she arrived at Canglang City that the leading general this time was not Bai Huangying, but a young general she had never heard of.
This made her very unhappy, but she still went on the expedition with the army.
"This battle must be lost!"
Of course Bai Qi knew about this. He then made a divination, and the divination showed that the expedition was unfavorable and would fail.
He immediately contacted Zhehua and asked the other party to be more vigilant. Once he felt that nothing could be done, he must save his life, Ma Rulong's and others' lives.
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood. As long as you are alive, you are better than anything else.
Zhehua knew full well that the Northern Qi King Bai Huangfeng left the famous general Bai Huangying unused and used an armchair boy. It would be strange to be undefeated!
But she kept Bai Qi's teachings in mind, did not get involved in mundane things, and was prepared in advance to save her life.
The elite troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty invaded the territory of the Southern Yan Kingdom with overwhelming force, and finally reached the boundary fifty miles away from Blackwater City.
But the army of the Northern Qi Dynasty was also at its end. Here, the soldiers of the Southern Yan Dynasty, who were waiting for work, set a trap, and the 100,000-strong army of the Northern Qi Dynasty was defeated.
In this single battle, Northern Qi lost nearly 30,000 troops.
"Ma Rulong, go to Tiemuguan to ask for help. I will take the children to set up the [Dragon Leaping to the Sea] formation here, hoping to stop the pursuers."
The troops of the Northern Qi Dynasty fled all the way back to the territory, but the soldiers of the Southern Yan Dynasty refused to give up and were still chasing after them.
Zhehua couldn't just watch her soldiers die, so she took a thousand demon soldiers and set up a battle formation on the border. This was the defensive form of the battle formation. They were lined up on the traffic thoroughfare, and it was like having one man in charge.
An overwhelming momentum.
Nan Yan's pursuit stopped here.
Perhaps out of fear of angering Bai Qi, Yuan Yang did not take action, and the two sides formed a confrontation on the border.
Ma Rulong arrived at Tiemuguan, and Bai Huangyang went out of the city without saying a word to help gather the defeated army. After a simple reorganization, the two men led 20,000 soldiers back to the border line.
After Bai Huangyang established the camp, Zhehua slowly retreated with a thousand demon soldiers.
Seeing that there was no advantage to be taken, the commander-in-chief of Nanyan returned to his own border without any haste.
At this point, the war started by the Northern Qi Dynasty came to an end. Not only did this battle end in an anticlimactic manner, making people laugh at the Northern Qi Dynasty, but it also lost tens of thousands of elite soldiers. It can be said that it lost both the wife and the army.
Bai Huangfeng was so ashamed that he immediately beheaded the young general who led the army on this expedition.
Suddenly, the prestige of the King of Northern Qi plummeted, and many people in the kingdom were ready to take action, especially the eight major tribes that had signed an alliance with Bai Huanghu.
The eight major tribes surrendered to the Baihuang clan and recognized Baihuanghu as their co-owner. After that, the Northern Qi State was established, and the heads of the eight major tribes suddenly transformed and became the Eight Marquises by virtue of enfeoffment.
The eight princes not only have their own territories, but also some private armies.
When Baihuanghu was alive, they had no other thoughts at all and were better behaved than loyal dogs.
But after the death of Bai Huanghu, the newly succeeded Northern Qi King was very happy, and then he was defeated at the hands of Nan Yan. The eight princes could not sit still, and they contacted each other in private and showed their ambitions.
The good situation after Bai Huangfeng's succession was gone. In desperation, he had no choice but to re-enable Bai Huangying.
Northern Qi was facing internal and external troubles, so Zhehua stayed at the border and took charge of Tiemuguan himself.
Ma Rulong and Cang Huai returned to Canglang City.
Beiluo Mountain.
Bai Qi couldn't help but shook his head after learning about these situations.
It is said that a tiger father has no sons. Think of the heroic Baihuanghu, but his son could not help him at all.
There are signs of civil strife in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but the City of Ten Thousand Demons is becoming more and more prosperous. There are many demon clans who have even traveled thousands of miles to come here, just to buy a copy of the [Demon Book] and see the prosperity of the Demon City again. On this day, Bai Qijing was very restless and brought Ma Lin to the City of Ten Thousand Demons.
"Master, let me see, this place already has the atmosphere of Canglang City."
Ma Lin couldn't help but admired as he watched the demons coming and going on the street.
But to be honest, there is still a gap between Ten Thousand Demons City and Canglang City. But Ma Lin has no sense of belonging to Canglang City, so this sentence is quite meaningful.
Bai Qi didn't answer and was still walking slowly on the street.
He found that many practitioners appeared in the city. They were curious about everything. After visiting, they also went to the market outside the city to trade some items.
The market in the city is only open to the demon clan, and this is the only thing that makes them dissatisfied.
After wandering aimlessly on the street for a long time, Bai Qicai and Ma Lin arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
"Xiong Li pays homage to His Holiness!"
After entering the city lord's mansion, Bai Qi released the illusion of his appearance.
In order not to be disturbed, he deliberately transformed into an ordinary monster. Naturally, other monsters couldn't see it.
"No need to be polite! Xiong Li, Ten Thousand Demons City has developed well in recent years, and you have contributed a lot to it."
Bai Qi smiled and praised Xiong Li.
Xiong Li belongs to the type of "big wise but foolish" type. Just because he can manage Wanyao City in an orderly manner, he is also a talented person.
"This is not worthy of Your Honor's praise. By the way, Your Honor, there are now calls for the opening of the city's markets to monks. I consider that the benefits of this move outweigh the disadvantages, and I plan to implement it next month."
Xiong Li asked Bai Qi to take a seat, and then asked people to bring fruits and drinks.
Afterwards, he reported to Bai Qi the important measures that were about to be implemented. That is, opening the city's markets to human monks to exchange their needs.
This is the power given to him by Bai Qi, but he will definitely report it before implementing it. Just today, Bai Qi came to the City of Ten Thousand Demons in person, and he immediately told his plan.
"Well, the advantages of this matter indeed outweigh the disadvantages. However, the screening of monks must be done well, and we cannot let others find out all our background. In addition, there are still demon clan books like the [Demon Book]
It must be banned from monks."
Bai Qi doesn't care. In the Northern Wilderness, humans and demons can often get along with each other. As long as they don't have any ill intentions towards the demon clan, the City of Ten Thousand Demons welcomes them.
But there are some things that need to be built with barriers. Although there are ways for those who want to get the [Demon Code], a basic moat must be in place. This is an attitude, just like human monks will do the same.
Of course, it is not easy for monks to obtain merit points.
"I remember it! Your Majesty, when will the second volume of [Demon Code] be released? Many guys can't wait."
Xiong Li nodded quickly and wrote down Bai Qi's explanation.
Now [Demon Code] has become the main force for recycling merit points. If you want to own merit points, the most convenient way at this stage is to exchange them with heavenly materials, earthly treasures and rare items. In this way, Beiluo Mountain can be said to be making a lot of money.
Full.
Worldly currency is of little use to the demon clan, but merit points are equally sought after by both big demons and small demons.
"The second volume of [Demon Code] has to wait a while. When the potential of the first volume is exhausted, the second volume will be almost ready for release. Xiong Li, I have a list here of some rare herbs. Do you want to
Find a way to collect it."
As Bai Qi spoke, he handed Xiong Li a bamboo slip.
