No one had any objections, but Wang Zecheng continued to sneer while holding a spear: "The Royal Forest Army has occupied all the mineral veins in the Fire God Mountain on the border of Fanshu City, and now they have divided up two dragon crystal mines in the Long Jue Forbidden Land. I just
I would like to ask, Li Xiaoyao, you have become the overlord of a party in Fanshu City. You have a powerful force of 100,000 Yulin Army, and you have raised at least tens of thousands of private troops in Fanshu City. With such a strong force, you are tantamount to the master of a party. I'm afraid
With your strength, even if you want to rebel in Tianling City, no one can stop you, right?"
I smiled slightly: "Wang Zecheng, what do you mean by hiding a needle in your hair?"
On the side, the commander of the Yanlong Army, Long Zhong, clasped his fists and said, "I'm afraid General Wang, the deputy commander of the Fire Ax Army, is just telling the truth. General Li, as the commander of the Royal Forest Army and the Duke of Broken Ding, already has less military power than one person in Tianling City."
, The way of monarchs and ministers in ancient times is allegiance and checks and balances. I, Long Zhong, am willing to sacrifice my life for your majesty and the empire. Moreover, the final general also believes that Duke Sui Ding is loyal to your majesty. In this case, we cannot allow the imperial guards to be so incompetent.
Containment has increased the troop strength."
Reis also clasped his fists and said: "The general seconded the proposal."
I was really filled with anger in my chest. I clenched my iron fist and looked at Luo Qianlin and said, "Qianlin, since I was appointed by Pei'er as the commander of the Royal Forest Army, there is nothing I have done that is not for the survival of the Tianling Empire.
If I am even remotely selfish, Qianlin, you can just order me, Li Xiaoyao, to be deprived of my military power!"
Luo Qianlin was stunned and said: "Master Li, why did you say this? Prince Gu has never doubted you in the slightest. Master Li, please believe Qianlin!"
On the side, Situ Xin took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, since General Long Zhong, General Leis, and General Wang Zecheng have all begun to question the strength of the Royal Forest Army, then... we might as well not distribute the mines in the Long Jue Forbidden Land to the Royal Forest Army this time.
, 2/11 of the ore veins from the Royal Forest Army should be recovered and distributed to the Changfeng Army and the Forbidden Army."
I felt a little worried. I looked at Situ Xin. There was some apology in his eyes and he said, "General Li, the situation forces us to forgive you!"
Luo Qianlin looked at me: "Master Li, what do you think?"
I waved my hand and sighed: "Forget it, if that's the case, then the Royal Forest Army will no longer get involved in this forbidden land for dragons."
"Master Li..."
Luo Qianlin hesitated to speak, Qing Jun's face showed a bit of embarrassment and pain. After a few seconds, he said: "How about this... The amnesty allows the Imperial Guard Army to expand its strength to 20W. I know Master Li's character.
I also have a clear understanding of the loyalty of the Royal Forest Army to the empire. The Royal Forest Army will not participate in the distribution of the mineral veins in the Dragon Forbidden Land, but..."
As he spoke, he paused, suddenly pulled out his long sword and cut off a corner of the table with a "click", and said: "But if anyone slanders Master Li and says that he has a disobedient heart, then it will be the same as this table."
, The lonely king only says this once, and next time he will use his sword!"
Both Long Zhong and Lei Lei were stunned, and Wang Zecheng's face also looked a little ugly. He originally wanted to provoke a relationship between me and Luo Qianlin, but he didn't expect this result. However, it seems that he has achieved his goal, at least
I have seen this time that Luo Qianlin does not trust me 100%, but that's okay, only in this way can he grow, have his own authority and judgment, and grow into a generation of emperors.
…
The court meeting immediately began to break up. Qin Ye, Long Zhong and others returned to their homes respectively. Fang Geque, Wenjian, Jian Fenghan, Yan Zhao Wushuang and others also each received the right to explore the mineral veins that their regiments deserved. In this way, they
The number of dragon crystal cannons they can possess will not be inferior to that of Dragon Slayer. In fact, this is a good thing. Only when they are strong can China be considered truly strong.
"Master Li..."
When I turned around to leave, Luo Qianlin suddenly called out softly and said, "I want to say a few more words to you!"
I said to Lin Wan'er and Yue Qingqian: "Wan'er, you go and play for a while, I will come to you soon."
Lin Wan'er smiled and took Yue Qingqian's hand and went out. The two were about the same age. They were almost sisters and had a very good relationship. In Zhanlong, the girls who had a good relationship were probably Lin Wan'er and Dong Chengyue.
Yue Qingqian and Yue Weiliang, Lin Xiaowu and Fu Shui Nannan, etc. The intimacy between best friends is something that men will not understand. Of course, I am afraid that women will never understand the friendship between men and brothers.
…
When Lin Wan'er and Yue Qingqian and I said goodbye, Luo Qianlin went alone, leaving a captain of the guard behind, who respectfully said to me: "Mr. Sui Ding, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden, please come with me!"
"good!"
I waved my Zixiao cloak and overlord boots behind me and followed the captain of the guard into the harem. The butterflies were dancing in the imperial garden, and the maids holding fruits contrasted with the maple leaves scattered all over the ground. Luo Qianlin was standing in a pool of water.
In the pavilion, when I walked over, he said to the captain of the guard: "Let me and Master Li stay alone for a while!"
"Yes!" The captain of the guard turned around and left, standing far away.
Luo Qianlin looked at the reflection of me and him in the water, smiled slightly, and without saying a word, suddenly the sword on his waist was unsheathed and stabbed directly into my chest. The sudden attack was very difficult to deal with, and my reaction speed was
Not too slow, he dodged the sword edge with one side of his body, and with a surge of strength in his palm, the butterfly unsheathed in an instant and slashed towards Luo Qianlin in the air uncontrollably under the power of the sword.
"scare?"
Fighting intent surged in Luo Qianlin's eyes, and flames suddenly erupted from the long sword. His wrist flipped, and the blade spun sharply, knocking away the butterfly's attack with a "clang" of spiral power. At the same time, I held the hilt of the butterfly's sword with one hand.
, another powerful thrust, Luo Qianlin shouted, his wrist shook violently, and the long sword with excellent toughness in his hand formed a sword-twirling technique to wrap around my butterfly.
"Um?"
My heart sank slightly. This kid learns so fast, but I am even faster. The artifact butterfly suddenly roared, and with an understatement of his wrist, he made a sharp sword roar, and Luo Qianlin's body was blown away.
The King's Blade was forcefully shaken open. It was a very exquisite sword shaking technique.
"Master Li, be careful!"
Luo Qianlin grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, and his body suddenly spun in the air. The long sword brought out a line of fighting spirit to form a plane attack, while I leaned up like a conditioned reflex and hit an iron bridge. At the same time, I raised my overlord boots and kicked Luo Qianlin to hold the sword.
hand.
With a "pop", the King's Blade flew away from his hands, but Luo Qianlin's reaction speed was really amazing. His body suddenly moved forward, his knee hit my leg violently, he raised his hand and pulled out the other long sword behind him, and then struck hard with it.
I pointed at my God-killing Armor, but at the same time, my butterfly had already cut through his neck. Seeing that the Lord of Tianling City was about to be splashed with blood within ten steps, I hurriedly pressed my wrist to deflect the blade.
, a "clang" sound left a deep sword mark on Luo Qianlin's shoulder armor, but his body was also hacked away by Luo Qianlin's sword!
"brush!"
My whole body was blasted several meters away, and I was about to fall into the lake. When the maid not far away screamed, I suddenly entered the state of Thousand Frosts Transformed into Wings, my body was in the air, my left palm was hanging down, and my fingertips were almost
It's already close to the water's surface.
"Master Li, are you okay?"
Luo Qianlin hurriedly stopped his hand and said, "I'm sorry, Qianlin was too impulsive and wanted to decide the winner, and almost hurt Master Li!"
With a slight exertion, I straightened my body and slowly flew back to the pavilion. A look of surprise flashed across my eyes, and I stepped forward and patted Luo Qianlin on the shoulder, smiling: "Qianlin's martial arts has indeed improved a lot.
Already."
"But people have also changed." Luo Qianlin suddenly said in a daze.
I was surprised: "Why do you say that?"
Luo Qianlin smiled self-deprecatingly: "Master Li asked knowingly."
As he spoke, he glanced at me with a complicated expression and said, "Qin Ye, Lei Lei, Xia Houren and others have secretly made secret remonstrances many times, saying that Master Li holds the power of life and death in Tianling City, and that the military power has been vested in me, the emperor.
Above all, my father even sent me a handwritten letter yesterday, saying that after Master Li mastered the Dragon Crystal Mine of Huoshen Mountain and had Fan Book City as the foundation, he already had the power to force the throne to retreat at the city gate. If he wants me, I must
Be cautious in everything and divide Li Division's military power, and his first step..."
My body trembled and I said, "Are you trying to take the four generals Han Yuan, Xiao Li, Long Jing, and Xia Ye away from me?"
Luo Qianlin admitted frankly and said: "Yes, he asked me to use the merits of the four generals to build 4 garrison armies respectively. Each army drew 10,000 people from the Imperial Forest Army as the basic force, and then Han Yuan and Xiao Li guarded Linhai City.
, Long Zhong, Xia Ye prepared to send troops to attack Wangyue City, and then used the attack on the strange demon territory as an excuse to draw 200 dragon crystal cannons from the Imperial Forest Army to the Yanlong Army, and ordered Long Zhong to start the expedition, plus the Changfeng Army and the Fire Ax Army.
A total of 200,000 people are on an expedition to attack the Shura world guarded by Annie of the Dragon Bone Mark..."
I took a deep breath of cold air, my heart was filled with chills, and I trembled: "So cruel... so poisonous..."
Luo Qianlin's eyes were full of sadness and anger, and he said: "I don't know what to do. Dad has his own reasons for saying so, but I also know that once the four generals are transferred from the Imperial Guard Army, the military strength of the Imperial Guard Army will be greatly reduced. Li
The division has even lost its right and left arm, and if the expedition fails, the Yanlong Army, Changfeng Army, and Fire Ax Army will all be destroyed. These three armies and the Yulin Army... are all thorns in my father's side..."
I was quite relieved, smiled bitterly, and said: "Qianlin, it is a great blessing for Tianling City that you understand this. Your father, Luo Xun, only thinks that your Luo family can dominate the country, but he has never thought about what happens to Tianling City."
Only then can we stand firm in this war. However, everything depends on your thoughts, Qianlin. I will never complain about whatever you decide."
Luo Qianlin clenched his fist and said: "Master Li, I will never let the imperial army expedition into the strange demon territory without absolute certainty. I don't want to see many people die in vain in the northern border, but Master Li... the matter of the Imperial Forest Army
,I……"
I couldn't help but laugh at myself, looked at him and said, "Qian Lin, you also think that my military power is too great, don't you?"
Luo Qianlin stood there dumbly, watching the flowers on the side fall to the ground one by one as the petals were blown by the autumn wind.
…
"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you."
I reached out and took out the badge of the Commander of the Royal Forest Army and the badge of the Imperial General from my waist, knelt down on one knee, presented it with both hands, and said: "Li Xiaoyao is willing to resign from the position of Commander of the Imperial Guard Army today and return the badge of General. From now on
I will never be an imperial general again!"
"Master Li..."
Luo Qianlin suddenly fell to his knees, tears welling up in his eyes: "Qianlin is sorry for you, Qianlin is sorry for you, but I really have no way to resist the invisible pressure..."
