Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 100 The dragon fights in the wild, its blood is black and yellow

"The Western Wilderness is going to be destroyed?" In the Nanli Palace, Mang Youzheng laughed with all the generals: "This is really crazy."

Facing the ridicule, Li Qinglin's smile did not change: "In this world, there are not only two countries in the south and the west. There are many big countries in the middle of the country, and their national power is a hundred times better than you and me. I'm afraid you barbarians have forgotten."

The generals of Xihuang were still laughing, but Mang You realized something and his smile gradually faded.

As if educating his subordinates, Li Qinglin said slowly: "The terrain of our southern Xinjiang is complex and the roads are rugged. If we want to capture the big country in China, the road will be difficult and transportation will be inconvenient. It will be a waste of manpower and material resources to capture it, and we can only conquer it from afar, and there is a lack of resources. It’s quite worthless. There used to be a big country that came to the city with troops. As a result, we called ourselves ministers and were allowed to govern ourselves and pay tribute. When that big country was destroyed by itself, we were still in Nanli and became an independent country again. This is our Nanli country. Away from the eternal source.”

Having said this, Li Qinglin looked at Mang You with pity: "You barbarians have just risen less than a hundred years ago, with a poor culture and a shallow history. I'm afraid you don't know the truth behind it. Do you really think that a stronger country does not exist?"

Mang You didn't get angry, and his expression gradually became serious: "Are you... colluding with the great powers of Middle-earth?"

"The north is now the Kingdom of Qian." Li Qinglin held the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand and smiled leisurely: "A month ago, the king sent an envoy to proclaim himself a minister... Well, in fact, he is not called a minister. He is still a minister of the Qian Kingdom. The King of Nanli and his family Qian Guo also sent a lot of property to express their condolences."

"I can't believe that you, Li Qinglin, are willing to humble yourself and become a vassal!"

"So you are just a general, and I am the king." Li Qinglin said leisurely: "Politics does not care about face, only about results."

"The result is that even the Qian Kingdom doesn't have a single soldier to protect you?"

"I also think they can come... But the road is inconvenient, and it's snowy and icy, so of course there won't be any big army. Send thousands of elites to guard for me. If they don't want to, there's nothing we can do." Li Qinglin He smiled and said: "But it's not that there are no other ways... They don't want to defend the city, but the nature of a vanguard pointing the sword at the Western Wilderness is a little different. Conquering a country is of great interest to you and me. Of course the Emperor is also very interested."

Mang You's expression changed greatly: "Your general's offer of the pass is indeed a trick to drag us to Nanli!"

"Of course it's a trick. Would I, Li Qinglin, be such a foolish king that no one wants to be loyal to? I would actually surrender to the enemy and lead the way. Thinking about it, I know it's not normal. Mang Zhan has no brains, and you Mang You don't either?" Li Qinglin said with a smile: " Now the whole country in the Western Wasteland is raising troops, and they are going deep into Nanli. I am empty in my belly, and I don’t know what the outcome will be if I join thousands of vanguards..."

The faces of all the generals in Xihuang changed.

Mang You said sternly: "It's alarmist. If that's the case, why didn't you let the Lihuo Army defend this city? Instead, you sent them all to Hengshan County, waiting to die empty-handed?"

Li Qinglin shook his head with some regret: "If that's the case, you return to force the troops to retreat, or you go to declare yourself a vassal. In the end, the situation remains unchanged and we come back next year. What's the use? I want to settle this situation once and for all."

Before he finished speaking, a hail of arrows flew from nowhere outside the palace gate, turning all the soldiers Mang You had arranged to guard outside the gate into hedgehogs. The palace door seemed to have some mechanism and closed suddenly.

At the same time, a fire suddenly broke out in the entire palace. In almost no time to spread, the entire square was turned into a sea of ​​flames. Everyone, including Li Qinglin and Mang You, were instantly engulfed by the flames.

Li Qinglin laughed loudly in the fire: "Your strongest bloody army in the Western Wilderness and you old generals who are accustomed to fighting have all died here. The destiny of the Western Wilderness has been lost. Nanli only died a monk who was a monk, the eldest princess and Li Huo All the elites are intact, as long as she is not stupid, of course it will be you, Xihuang, and not me, Nanli, who will destroy the country!"

The Xihuang army couldn't care less about what he was saying. They crowded towards the palace gate in a chaotic manner. How could they break through it in this moment?

Mang You's whole body was cold.

I am afraid that even if Da Gan sends troops to help him defend the city, he, Li Qinglin, will refuse. He clearly deliberately used his body as bait, used his own life, used Nanli Palace as his tomb, and dragged the fate of the entire Xihuang country to perish together!

He roared angrily, and with the fire all over his body, he struck hard at Li Qinglin with his giant axe.

Li Qinglin held his gun horizontally, and both of them were swallowed up by the flames at the same time.

"I don't have long to live. It is a pleasure to have so many Western Wilderness warriors die for me."

In the raging fire, Li Qinglin looked calm and seemed not to feel the pain of the flames burning his body: "I forgot to tell you that this fire is the blazing flame array of your Donghuazi. When searching for blazing flints, Nanli people were boiling with resentment. , now it can be considered that it has been used appropriately, and it has not failed the people of Nanli."

No one paid attention to him at all. The fire quickly burned through everyone's body. Everyone rolled upside down and screams echoed through the sky, long ago covering up Li Qinglin's words.

Mangyou's giant ax fell to the ground, rolling on the ground in pain. He used his last strength to point at Li Qinglin: "Since you came to the throne, you have been practicing Taoism in a daze. Is it all a scam?"

Li Qinglin silently put the gun on the ground and closed his eyes: "No, at that time... it was true."

"Boom!" The palace collapsed, and the sky was filled with fire.

…………

Ming He looked at the firelight above Lihuo City faintly, and remembered the conversation he had with Li Qinglin a few days ago.

"You really don't want to tell Qingjun about your arrangement?"

"Qingjun knows it, and it's impossible for him to agree. It would be troublesome if he had to die with Lihuo City."

"So... Pindao told you the origin of the jade pendant. Why didn't you send anyone to find it? Instead, you gave the jade pendant to Qingjun?"

Li Qinglin looked at the carved dragon on the beam in ecstasy. After a long time, he slowly said: "I was worried and wavered. I was greedy for power and wanted to live forever... It was not as great as I had imagined. When I discovered When I couldn't cultivate even a trace of immortal energy according to Qin Yi's techniques, I even became extremely violent, beating and scolding my concubines, and whipping the palace people to death - maybe I'm just a layman, and I still have the potential to be a tyrant."

Ming He looked at him quietly and did not answer.

"But Taoist priest, people are so strange... When one day I wake up, I feel clear and clear as never before... I know that not only I am hopeless, but Nanli is also hopeless. It has been rotten to the bone. ...If there is a few years to slowly turn things around, there may be a chance, but Xihuang won't give us this time, they don't even wait for spring, there will definitely be a surprise attack from Ten Thousand Tons of Thunder this winter."

Ming He still listened quietly.

"In such a short time, let alone Qingjun, even if I was not cursed and worked hard, Nanli would not be able to survive this disaster. The previous heroic ambitions were just wishful thinking and self-deception." Li Qinglin said with a smile: "So we should What are you going to do? Waiting to welcome the invaders from the Western Wilderness, and then perish after a tragic and bloody battle, and become a few lamentations in the history books?"

Ming He finally said: "What Pindao is asking is why you don't go find the owner of the jade pendant, not about your national policy."

"Because I don't want to look for it anymore." Li Qinglin said with a smile: "If you die, just die. How can people be immortal? I have found my original intention."

"What is it?"

"No matter how much work I do, it will end up being a handful of loess and several feet of tomb. If that's the case, why did I want this work in the first place?"

Ming He shook his head: "I never know why you want this merit."

Li Qinglin's eyes were a little strange: "The Taoist master's sect is extraordinary. Maybe some people live forever? But he can live in Cave Mansion, hidden from the world, unknown to others. Compared with the people who shine in the history books and are admired by all generations...who is it? eternal life?"

Ming He was startled for a moment and said nothing.

"Everyone has his or her own ambitions. I'm afraid there is no answer to this question." Li Qinglin laughed again: "Qingjun loves to seek immortals. If one day she can let go of the shackles of Nanli, the jade pendant will be her guide. I will not Go use it. But when Taoist Master sees Qin Yi in the future, he can tell him something for me."

"Please say."

"Well...he is a friend worth making friends with. I feel very sorry that he has to work so hard for nothing this time."

Ming He asked curiously: "That's it?"

"No... I once told him that I would rather believe that the Great Saint is dead than accept that the Monkey King crosses his legs and lives forever as a Buddha." Li Qinglin said slowly: "Please tell my friend, Taoist Master, that although I have been shaken , but finally did it.”

Looking at the fire in the sky, Ming He remembered the divination he had calculated when he first met Li Qinglin in Zhangjiazhuang.

When dragons fight in the wild, their blood is black and yellow.

What he was fighting was not Donghuazi, or even Xihuang. From beginning to end, he was fighting Changsheng.
