Realm of Power

Long Po's face was stern. Seeing Li Long appear with the imperial cavalry, he felt something was wrong. Soon, his sharp eyes fell on a figure next to Li Long.

"That's it?" Long Po's pupils suddenly tightened.

The generals of the Long family behind Long Po would also open their eyes wide at this moment, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Li Long's appearance on the empire's side was already surprising, but what was even more surprising was that the person next to Li Long was A Central Asian woman wearing black imperial scales The figure outlines a graceful and upright figure, with a head of black hair like a waterfall flowing down from the shoulders. A metal cover with exquisite patterns covers the face, but under the dark eyebrows of suitable shades, there is obviously a pair of oppressive eyes. Powerful black and bright eyes like autumn water

"She seems to be a Central-Bian woman!"

"With black hair and black eyes, she is really my woman from China!"

I saw this woman wearing a red cloak riding her horse forward, her horse's hooves trampling heavily on the ground in the rain. The murderous imperial cavalry on both sides dismounted neatly, and they all put their hands on their right breasts to salute, their faces becoming more and more respectful. The rain hit the imperial armor, and the water splashes were like a vast expanse of pale color. This strange atmosphere The atmosphere made everyone in the Long family take a breath of air-conditioning. Li Long didn't care. Who was this mysterious Central and Bian woman? What made the Long family most incredible was that anyone who was not blind could see that this cold-faced woman was nothing. The gorgeous Central and Asian beauty seems to be the person in charge of this empire.

"It's amazing, this woman's identity doesn't look simple!"

"It can't be the rumored Berlant Bonnie," the generals whispered and underestimated. Berlant Bonnie deliberately suppressed the Central and Asian nobles in the Imperial Capital West Road area, and even the Long family had heard of her name.

"Are you kidding? Even if you have never seen her, you will recognize that this Bertrand Bonnie is a beauty from the Western Continent. Look at the one in front of you. Although she is wearing an exquisite dark gold mask, she has black hair and black eyes. It all shows that this is definitely a Central-Bian woman. "The generals of the Long family looked at each other one by one, and they were all a little confused by the situation in front of them.

Long Po's eyes flickered. He was the prime minister of Zhongbia after all. He immediately vaguely remembered something. He heard that after the empire defeated the North Grassland in Onnacuo two years ago, it drove the Yelu family south to attack the Zhongbia court. At the same time, In the name of returning Princess Mingyue, they attempted to open the Sino-Biya trade route. The person sent by the empire at that time was said to be a woman from the Li family. Later, because of her Li family background, she was attacked in Linhang. After being deliberately challenged by the court, she left angrily. The first negotiation between the empire and the Zhongbia court ended on bad terms. It is said that the Imperial Thunder God who made the Yelu family even more powerful was sold to the Zhongbia court. , but it is a pity that the Central and Biya sides did not pay attention to it at all, and they benefited from the Yelu family in vain, so that the Yelu family, who were only good at field battles, began to truly embark on a devastating expansion of the Central and Biya region.

Could it be that the person in front of me is the daughter of the Li family?

If that was the case, then China and Bia would be in a miserable state. The corners of Long Po's mouth turned up slightly, showing a weird smile, and he finally knew the confusion he had always wanted to know! The empire has mobilized such a huge force, how could it be as simple as driving the refugees to attack, Li Long, a Central Asian woman, the empire, the Li family!

I see!

Long Po's mind was full of thoughts, and he roughly understood the context. Why was Li Long suddenly able to find the emperor in the imperial capital after the emperor had been missing for more than half a year? It's entirely because, to Li Long, this seemingly useless person in charge of the north of the river is actually far more important than the emperor who returned to the south.

The Li family actually still has such a figure in the empire, plus Li Long is the person in charge of the north of the river, what else does the Li family need to revive? Basically, China and Biya have life and death in their hands! Sure enough, the Li family had long seen through the rottenness of Zhongbia, so the help they relied on for their revival was not an emperor, but an extremely powerful empire.

In front of the empire, the Zhongbia court can only be regarded as a force, and the Zhongbia emperor is like a puppet.

It's ridiculous that the entire court thinks that the Li family has lost power and wasted a perfect opportunity to make a comeback. Li Long is even more incompetent. The power of Conglong can be snatched away by others. Now I am afraid that they are busy trying to distance themselves from the Li family. To clear up the relationship, I hope to get more benefits from the emperor's return to the south, but I didn't expect that the Li family has already been involved for thousands of miles, and has already been deployed on all fronts.

Well, it’s time to talk openly and honestly about the grievances between the empire and the Long family.

Long Po retrieved the mysterious Zambian woman with sharp eyes. He still knew the name of the daughter of the Li family who left angrily two years ago. The Li family was famous as the Phoenix Girl in the northwest region of Zhongbia. Intelligence chief Li Yuehua! Speaking of which, when Li Yuehua was able to escape to the Western Continent, it was still partly because of the deliberate betrayal of the former head of the Long family, Long Yang. But now, the opponent's target seems to be Zhongbia. Since the Long family has no intention of taking over Zhongbia, now the remaining It was just a matter of dividing interests. This time, the Li family calmly played their real trump card in front of them, which was enough to show that the Li family had guessed their plan to evacuate from the court.

"Li Yuehua, the general person in charge of the Imperial Capital West Road and the special envoy for this negotiation, has met you all!"

Inside the camp, Li Yuehua gently took off the dark gold mask covering his face with his left hand, revealing his peerless and beautiful face. He bowed slightly to the front, then sat down opposite Long Po and his Long family generals, looking at It flashed for a moment and landed on Long Po on the opposite side. He said in a solemn voice, "I heard from Mr. Li Long that Mr. Long Po was attacked by refugees in the camp. I don't know what the situation of Mr. Long Po is now!"

"This..." The generals of the Long family were stunned for a moment, and they all looked at Long Po who was sitting in front of him. When the other party said this, he had obviously recognized Lord Long Po, but he was not direct. point out, so the generals were also a little at a loss. What did the other party want to express?

"Thank you for the empire's concern for our Long family. My Lord Long Po was indeed attacked by the refugees. Fortunately, it was just some superficial injuries. He can recover for a while." Long Po said with a smile, with a calm expression on his face. "What makes my Lord feel the most right now is What I’m anxious to know is, if we sign an agreement with the Empire, how many days will it take for us to get food at the earliest?”

"Lord Long Po looks very anxious!" Li Yuehua picked up the water glass on the table, took a sip, looked at the tea leaves rising in the water glass, and said in a pleasant voice, as the person in charge of the empire's intelligence in Central Asia, how can Do you know this influential figure in China and Biya? He is one of the biggest obstacles to China’s takeover of China and Biya.

"I think Miss Yuehua has misunderstood. Lord Long Po is still recovering here. I am the envoy of Zhongbia, Long Xueshan, who is negotiating this time! I hope Miss Yuehua will not admit her mistake!" Long Po smiled slyly,

"Lord Long Xueshan? It seems that I have recognized the wrong person! Please forgive me." Li Yuehua's eyes flashed with surprise, and he slowly put down the tea cup in his hand. The other party's refusal to admit it just proved that it was just like he didn't want people to know that the imperial envoy was Like a Central Asian, he specifically chose a dark gold mask to cover his face. Long Po also did not want to be in the identity of Long Po in this negotiation.

She was initially dubious about the fact that Long Po was attacked and seriously injured by refugees in the army camp, but the Long Family camp had stepped up its vigilance due to the attack. Even within 300 meters of Long Po's military tent, all the guards were replaced by the Long Family's own guards. Therefore, the authenticity of Long Po's serious injury cannot be determined. At this moment, inside the camp, Seeing Long Po inside, Li Yuehua knew that the one who had been attacked and pretended to be seriously injured was probably just a stand-in for Long Po in front of him. Although the appearance of the person could be similar, for a famous general like Long Po who had experienced hundreds of battles, he had that heavy air on his body. An aura as strong as a mountain cannot be possessed by a counterfeit.

"Since everyone has the same idea, let's do it as soon as possible!" Li Yuehua didn't want to continue to get entangled in this matter. He nodded towards the opposite side, waved to the accompanying imperial guards, and handed over an imperial food sales document that had been written long ago. The agreement was placed in front of Long Po. Li Yuehua was basically certain of the other party's attitude. This was Long Po himself! The other party's firm refusal to admit it just shows that Long Po is indeed planning to make one last profit before leaving. After all, he is the head of the Long family and the famous Central and Asian military god. If this agreement is signed by Long Po, The Long family can never escape the eternal infamy of losing power and humiliating the country, but if they sign The person who made the agreement was the little-known Long Xueshan, which was another story. To put it bluntly, Long Xueshan was a general under the Long family, and he had suffered disastrous defeats when fighting against the Empire and the Song people. Even if this How much loss can be caused by bearing the stigma of signing an agreement again?

Long Po picked up the agreement, glanced at it, and frowned. Although he was mentally prepared, his eyes were bloodshot when he looked at it. "Thirty years of taxation from the six coastal cities... I dare you to say, the imperial merchant trade." If the tax is halved...then the merchants of the empire will become stronger..." Long Po looked at these terms, and even a layman who didn't understand business could The terrifying content can be seen from it. Once the agreement is implemented, the imperial merchants will gain huge advantages. In the southern province of China, it will have a huge impact on the entire market, and the tax revenue of the six coastal cities for thirty years is simply To describe it as crazy, the empire dared to openly write such conditions into the terms!

But does all this have anything to do with me? Are you still related to the Long family?

This is a matter for the Central and Asian courts! As for the Long family leaving this time, I am afraid that they will no longer have anything to do with the court in a short period of time. To put it bluntly, it is not the Long family who will bear the consequences in the end, but it is the Long family who will benefit. Now that we have reached this point, I What are you still hesitating about? Long Po sighed inwardly, pressed the agreement document that was destined to be nailed to the rack of shame on the table, raised his head, and asked with a livid face, "If the agreement is signed, can the empire really sell us food?" !”

"Of course, in fact, the empire started to mobilize food a month ago. Now the food on Imperial Capital West Road can be handed over to the Long family. Although it is not very big, it is enough for an army of 100,000 people. But the rest is still We need to wait for more than ten days." Under Long Po's gaze, Li Yuehua hesitated. He hesitated and said, "In that case, let's do it. I just hope that before the food is handed over to us, this agreement can..." Long Po took a deep breath, picked up the pen on the table, and his face twitched unnaturally. Now, considering his status, it is really difficult for him to say such words.

"The empire can guarantee that there will never be any possibility of leakage in advance!" Li Yuehua nodded extremely cautiously. She knew that Long Po was worried that once such an agreement was spread, it would inevitably cause an uproar, and Long Po would naturally It was in the hope that the wave would explode after the Long family evacuated. After it was issued, both the empire and the Long family knew very well that this agreement was actually an agreement to divide China and Bia. The Long family chose to return to the southwest with the benefits and no longer block the empire's penetration of power into China and Bia. The empire also has these grains, which opens the door to Central Asia.

Long Po's pen finally fell on the agreement. The generals of the Long family all looked heavy. At this moment, each of them looked at the head of the family who had once despised the heroes of the world as he wrote on the agreement. Their upright bodies were Trembling slightly, fingers clenched , the bloodshot eyes are terrifying, the Southwest Long Family has guarded the southwest gate for decades. How many Long Family descendants have gone on to fight against the Western Continent for decades, and they have died without regrets. How many days and nights, how many bloody battles, the Long Family Is this the final result? How to make people accept it!

"That's it!"

Long Po put away his pen and closed the agreement. At this moment, the strong man who turned the tide in this apocalyptic years in China and Bia only had fatigue and vicissitudes in his eyes, and his mottled temples were enough to show that in the court of China and Bia, Under such great pressure, the Long family finally chose to give up on Zhongbia and no longer care about the future of Zhongbia. Since Zhongbia does not want the Long family, what else does the Long family want from Zhongbia! There is nothing more sad than heartbreaking. I think back when the Long family fought thousands of miles for Zhongbia, shed countless blood, and held up a sky for Zhongbia in the darkness, I never expected that there would be such an embarrassing and cold moment, and the two sides were broken. The imperial capital has gone south twice, tens of millions have been displaced, and bandits are swarming everywhere. What is left in China and Libya? A cowardly and greedy emperor, a group of ministers vying for power, ambitious provinces, and tens of millions of refugees who went south to seek survival. Facing the fire that was about to start a prairie fire, if he didn't want to be burned all over his body, he had to avoid it. What can I do?

He, Long Po, is not Long Yang. He cannot sacrifice for Zhongbia without hesitation just relying on his faith. In his eyes, Long Po, the Long family is the foundation!

Three days later, the first batch of food from the empire was delivered to the Long family's headquarters on the south bank of the river. The moment he received the food, Long Po, who was rumored to be seriously injured, immediately summoned the generals of the army and ordered the thirty-year army to march north to quell the chaos. Ten thousand inferior runner-up, all returned to their distant places within one day At this time, the Long family army belonging to the Long family also began to move toward the southwest on the way back. The 300,000-strong Zhongbi army was immediately depleted of 200,000. The news reached Zhongbi who had just been celebrating the emperor's return to the south. At the Yachaotang banquet, the noisy banquet suddenly fell into dead silence! The Emperor of China and Bibia, who had held his wine glass high just now, almost fainted.
