"The Kingdoms of the Western Regions? Ah! What a strange name. There seems to be no overlap in my impression. Wait, I remember that Xixia should be considered one of the Kingdoms of the Western Regions!" Ling Xiao touched his chin and was suddenly shocked. shouted, Li Qiushui's face instantly darkened upon hearing this. After a while, he said: "Yes, Xixia is already out of my control now!" "I see, so those guys knew your true identity and then attacked Lingjiu Palace!" Ling Xiao made a choice. Mei said. "This should be the case. The period of our rebirth was actually not long, including the time in seclusion. But after coming down the mountain, I found that the Xixia royal family had been slaughtered, and all the courtiers loyal to the royal family had also been purged. Obviously These people have been lurking in Xixia for some time, otherwise they would not be so familiar with this information! You know, even I may not be able to understand the intricate interests among those officials." Li Qiushui sighed. Ling Xiao rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said, "Tch! Is there still a need to investigate? Just kill all the officials and then support a few of your own officials." Li Qiushui paused, shook his head and said: " This is illogical. If they just massacre, they will not be able to successfully seize power because there are too few officials to maintain the smooth operation of the country! Then it will be meaningless for them to seize power." "Are you sure they are trying to seize power? asked thoughtfully. Princess Iron Fan glanced at him without saying anything, but Li Qiushui did not understand his words. Wu Zi asked: "What you are asking is strange. Who would do such a thing if not to seize power? Is it possible that he has a grudge against the King of Xixia?" Ling Xiao was noncommittal but secretly sighed in his heart, Li Qiu Shui's vision was still too narrow. How could an ancient great master who was familiar with Kunpeng Demon Master care about a mere Xixia imperial power? But he still advised: "You don't have to worry. Anyway, Xixia is just one of the countries in the Western Regions. It's just a little sesame on a shortbread, it's not harmful at all!" Li Qiushui suddenly fell silent when he heard this, and even Wu Xingyun also wanted to speak. Stopping again. "Uh, did I say something that I shouldn't have said?" Ling Xiao scratched his face in embarrassment, and everyone shook their heads in confusion. Li Qiu Shui took a deep breath and said bitterly: "The countries in the Western Regions have actually been unified for a long time!" Everyone: "" "Don't tell me that you did it?" Ling Xiao shouted in disbelief. road. Li Qiushui nodded. "At the time of the Beggar Clan Conference, the countries in the Western Region had actually completed the unification. I had already secretly controlled the entire Western Region through various means!" "This I remember that the territory of the Western Region is not as big as the Ming Dynasty, and each country is small. There are serious ethnic conflicts and huge differences in customs. How do you let them coexist peacefully?" Ling Xiao asked with a frown. If the Western Regions were really unified, it would be a big problem, which would mean that there would be one more person in the world who could compete with the Ming Dynasty. Great powers that are equally divided. certainly. It may still be far behind now, but the potential is already there. If we can't take immediate action to know ourselves and the enemy, we will be very passive in the future whether it is a war or a peace. Li Qiu Shui glanced at Ling Xiao and said calmly: "I have never considered what you are worried about, because when I conquered the Western Regions, I never wanted to make the Western Regions as prosperous as the Ming Dynasty. All I wanted was to gain a little luck. So there is a contradiction. Those who cannot be reconciled will be wiped out, and those with different customs will be abolished and replaced with Xixia customs! I am not a conqueror!" Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, "You. She didn't even understand how to rely on logistics and economics to achieve luck? "The Ji family was not in decline at that time, and even the Xuanyuan Sword was not lost, so any country with fixed luck in the world was not her goal." Wu Xingyun suddenly interrupted. road. "Eh? You know that too!" Ling Xiao looked at her awkwardly. After all, they were junior sisters. They could guess everything the other wanted. Li Qiushui nodded and said: "We were all stuck at the bottleneck at that time, and we had to try any method that could improve our realm. In terms of the distribution of luck in the world, the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom are a hard nut to crack! And the island countries in the sea need a large number of ships. And our Western Region also lacks maritime docks. Naturally, we can't attack the Miao Kingdom and Dali. It will be very troublesome to fight." "So you have set your sights on the Liao Kingdom and Mongolia! Although this country has been fighting for many years, it is not easy to deal with, right?" Ling Xiao asked with a frown. Li Qiushui shook his head and said: "I am not stupid and will not fight head-on with Liao and Mongolia. I have sent people to sneak into Liao and Mongolia a long time ago to secretly destroy their trade and agriculture. The geographical location of Liao and Mongolia is very different. There is not much land suitable for planting. Maybe you don't care about the situation in the world, so you didn't realize that there has been a famine in Mongolia for two consecutive years!" Ling Xiao opened his mouth when he heard this. Knowing what to say, I suddenly remembered the empress Wu Zetian from her previous life. Although the prosperity on the surface shows that people's lives were good during the Queen's reign, during that period, China's territory was actually shrinking, which was a setback to some extent. Ling Xiao never dreamed that Li Qiushui in front of him was actually doing something similar, but her method was more selfish and more eager for quick success! His appearance changed the fate of many characters. If this mysterious enemy hadn't appeared and destroyed the Lingjiu Palace, if it hadn't been for the Xuanyuan Sword and Stone?Hai Dahai has also proved that luck has no effect at all if it cannot be used like the Miao King. Now the Liao Kingdom and Mongolia may have become her bag. But contrary to Wu Zetian, she didn't care about the life and death of the people at all, she only cared about luck. "Well, what should I say? You mean, these guys have probably controlled the entire Western Region through the foundation you left! Even" Ling Xiao asked awkwardly, his tone not very sure. Because he didn't know what this powerful man who had survived since ancient times wanted to do. With his strength, he probably didn't value luck that much. "They may even have taken over my intelligence organization in Liao and Mongolia. After they unify the Western Regions, they will reach out to Liao and Mongolia if they don't know!" Li Qiushui said solemnly. Ling Xiao twitched his lips as expected, "The Liao Kingdom and Mongolia shouldn't be so frustrated, after all, they are two countries that are at war all year round!" "People also say that the Western Regions will not be unified. Now you What do you think?" Li Qiushui hummed. Ling Xiao rolled his eyes fiercely and said disdainfully: "What kind of unification is that? It won't last long at all. Unless you use the policy of genocide, the flames of hatred will slowly ferment and grow in the hearts of the people. Then your dream of unification will Being gradually destroyed in the never-ending troubles." "I understand what you said, but I still conquered the entire Western Region in a short period of time. So in the face of overwhelming power, the people have no ability to resist! Their strength. Are you sure that the Liao Kingdom and Mongolia can stop it? And" "And what's more? You'd better tell me all at once, I can't bear the blow." Ling Xiao said with a bitter smile. Li Qiushui sighed helplessly. "Furthermore, these previous wars all happened under my instruction. After they took over, they could blame everything on me and the Xixia royal family, and then implement the policy of appeasing the people. It can be said that their ruling position is much more stable than mine. !" Ling laughed and said, "In other words, they became the heroes who overthrew the tyranny, but you took the blame! You can't say that, what if they really fought for the cause of national liberation? "Li Qiu Shui glared at him angrily when he heard this, with a certain aura that made the surrounding soldiers' hearts jump. "Can you wait and see? If they completely ignore my spies left in Liao and Mongolia, ThatĄŻs not what I said. IĄŻll repay my debt to the people of the Western Regions. But if they continue to destroy the national power of Liao and Mongolia like I did before, then their intentions are open to question!Ą± Xiaoxiao said nothing more. Everything remains to be proven by time. Who are these new enemies? And what is the conspiracy that is still unknown? As Ling Xiao swayed on the horse, he couldn't help but think of the secret talk that King Miao had with him before. He had known about it before. The plan to overthrow the Ji family was hatched by King Miao, and he was mentally prepared for this man's tricks. But this time the facts were so far ahead that even his little heart, who had been bombarded by so many novels, movies and TV shows in his previous life, could hardly believe it. But now after listening to Li Qiushui's words, he had to believe some things! The team has been moving forward unhurriedly. This time against the Youquan Blood Demon, it can be said that the losses were heavy. The million-strong army was only reduced to less than half! After returning to Beijing, I still donĄŻt know how to explain it to the emperor. Fortunately, King Miao has already expressed his surrender, which can be regarded as a moderate achievement. ItĄŻs just a matter of merit and demerit. Three days, three days of boredom. Everyone's life was replaced by eating, sleeping, and walking. Just when Ling Xiao's head was about to be burned by boredom, there was another pounding sound in the sky. "I'm finally back!" Ling Xiao looked at the sky with excitement, Xiao Fei's figure plunged down from mid-air, and his target was Qing Qing's arms! "Damn!" Ling Xiao shouted angrily and stepped in front of Qingqing, "I haven't had the chance to do this yet, what do you want to do like this?" Bang! With a muffled sound, Xiao Fei plunged into Ling Xiao's arms. The huge force did not even make Ling Xiao shake his body at all. Xiao Fei was about to struggle, but was lifted upside down by Ling Xiao's feet. "Ha! It's really good that so many letters were delivered so quickly. Maybe you just threw them away because you were afraid of the trouble?" Xiao Fei flapped his wings angrily in protest, but was pointed out by Ling Xiao. The bullet hit his forehead and pressed it down. "Okay, don't abuse Xiao Fei." Ling Xiao gave him a ruthless and reproachful look, and then Ling Xiao let go. Xiao Fei flapped his wings and came to Wu Qing's side, and rubbed Qing Qing's cheek flatteringly, making Ling Xiao speechless for a while. "This bird of yours is quite interesting. Is it of Qilin blood?" Princess Iron Fan asked with interest, looking at the fine scales on Xiao Fei's body and thinking of something. "Yes, it's the one in Lingyun's Cave." Ling Xiao replied casually. "I see, I dare you that lazy guy is still alive, and he actually found such a good job! Damn! I really don't know what to say." Princess Iron Fan seemed to have some interaction with the fire unicorn, and she looked very familiar. look. "Oh? Do you know each other?" "Fortunately, that fire unicorn is my senior to some extent." "Hi! Older than you?" Ling Xiao exclaimed, and then Princess Iron Fan slapped her in the face. On the back of his head. "How do I talk? Am I very old?" "Uh, ???Old, not old at all. She is the most beautiful woman in the world! "Ling Xiao sneered. If you are not old yet, then there is really no one. Princess Iron Fan said again: "That fire unicorn was a colleague who worked with Lao Niu in the Demon Court. What is Lao Niu's specific responsibility? carry. ItĄŻs just that Lao Niu seems to respect him a lot, as if he is a pure-blooded descendant of the Qilin tribe! But that guy is so lazy that he can even compete with Black Turtle. It's just that Xuangui is sleepy, but he is delicious! This is something that even Taotie would be defeated by! "So fierce!" Isn't that very strong? After all, he has lived for so long! "Ling Xiao sighed. "I can't say for sure. Because it is rare to see him practicing, and I have never heard of him using his full strength. But there is one thing I can tell you. ""What? ""That fire unicorn has gone through the lich war like Lao Niu. And he plays a very important position in the Zhoutian Star Array! Also, he also participated in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation back then! So if I were you, don't mess with him. "Princess Iron Fan said cautiously. Ling Xiao's mouth twitched fiercely, "Don't worry. I never wanted to mess with him. "As she spoke, she swallowed her saliva. Princess Iron Fan added in a funny tone: "But that Fire Kirin is also known to have a good temper. As long as you don't steal his food, you won't care about ordinary jokes! ""hehe! "While Ling Xiao was chatting and laughing with Princess Iron Fan, Wu Qing was also combing Xiao Fei's feathers. Xiao Fei closed his eyes and enjoyed it quietly, while his mouth kept opening and closing to say something. But no one understood. Niaoyu didn't know what it meant, but the ruthless smile slowly disappeared. She slowly looked at Lingxiao, who was clueless, and her eyes flickered inexplicably. Lingxiao was chatting with ease when he suddenly felt a surge of energy. A chill rose up my spine, and I couldn't help but look around. Well, Qiu Shui was playing chess with Wu Xingyun, and Wu Di was asking Ximen Chuixue for advice. The scene seems to be extremely harmonious! "What's going on? What the hell is this chilling for no reason! " In the Imperial Palace and the Royal Garden, the Emperor and Shao Yu were drinking opposite each other. "I heard that the troops in Miao territory suffered heavy losses this time! Shao Yu asked casually as he picked up the wine glass. The emperor's body froze for a moment and sighed: "There is nothing we can do about it." Who could have imagined that this incident would involve the entrance to another world, and that the Youquan Blood Demon would eventually become a god-level master. Without the help of Ximen Chuixue and others. ItĄŻs hard to say that there were more losses this time. Those were all the elites of the imperial court! "Shao Yu nodded calmly. He was not moved at all by the loss of soldiers. He was a general in the past, and the dead people he had seen could probably fill the entire capital! The emperor thought for a while and said: "In fact, according to the Jin Yiwei in Miao Xinjiang's secret investigation revealed that it was not Ximen Chuixue and others who really played the role. On the contrary, you asked me to send Zhong Kui there! Don't you think you should give me an explanation? Shao Yu chuckled and said, "What kind of explanation do you want?" "I can't keep a secret confidant by my side!" "The emperor's expression was very determined. Shao Yu was slightly startled, and suddenly saw some majesty in the emperor's eyes. This made him sigh that he could actually feel a little coercion. It should be said that this guy finally looked a bit like an emperor. Did you? Shao Yu put down his wine glass and suddenly laughed and said: "Okay, you surprised me. In fact, it doesn't matter to tell you. The catastrophe is approaching, and the back tricks laid by many seniors are about to take effect. And Zhong Kui is a back-up man who is not very powerful, but the law of heaven cannot be violated, so this kind of not-so-powerful one survived by luck. We have no choice now. Since Zhong Kui appears in front of us, we naturally have to support him! ""you? In fact, I have always been curious about the person behind you, and you didnĄŻt tell me Zhong KuiĄŻs true identity! "The emperor is obviously not that easy to fool. Shao Yu's face turned bitter, "Okay, I admit, I actually don't know Zhong Kui's true identity. It's just that I have been given orders from above, and I can't refuse! ""above? Do you also have a superior? "The emperor was a little unbelievable. Shao Yu curled his lips and shook his head and said: "He is not a superior, he took the initiative to contact me, and that senior was very popular in the past and was very particular about his work. Then he looked solemn and said, "Besides, this senior has developed his power greatly in endless years and made countless arrangements. For Da Jie, it is obviously much better to follow him than to do it on my own! But this is not who I surrender to. Men will not surrender to anyone except the wall! "The emperor was speechless for a moment. After talking for a long time, apart from knowing that there is a very mysterious and awesome organization that exists around everyone, he didn't say anything else! Wait! It seems that he really knows only one such organization. Shao Yu looked at The emperor's look of enlightenment showed that he had probably thought of something, but he changed the subject with a smile, "Seeing that Ling Xiao and his team are about to return to Beijing, there seems to be no need to use those arrangements of yours! "When the emperor saw what he said, he didn't ask any further questions. He just rubbed his temples with a depressed face and said, "I can't do anything about it. I've transferred all the ones I could fight away from these cowardless bandits, but they're still so cowardly! If they don't take action, I can't take the initiative to kill them. This kind of accusation cannot be used! Shao Yu burst into laughter and said, "Cowardly?" Able to do things secretlyWhy are those who take action so timid? It couldn't be that they felt it was not the right time, or they were waiting for instructions from someone! The emperor shrugged upon hearing this, "Then we can only let it go for now. I want to see what their so-called timing is?" "(To be continued)
