At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 366: Longhu Mountain Surrenders

This was no longer a hint, but an open attempt to force Longhu Mountain to bow its head and unscrupulously display one's ambitions in front of the old Taoist priest.

"I can tell you."

Xiao Han didn't care at all about the shock and fear in the old master's eyes. He just said to himself: "My goal is the world."

"It is not too late if Longhu Mountain joins my side now."

"Your Highness the King of Xiliang."

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "Today, I can pretend that I heard nothing."

"can."

Xiao Han nodded: "After that, there is no need for Longhu Mountain to exist in this world."

Threat.

An undisguised threat.

If it were today.

Longhu Mountain will never bow its head.

Then there is only a dead end.

No one would doubt whether this man has the ability to destroy Longhu Mountain, and no one would doubt whether the King of Xiliang has the vision and courage to destroy the Taoist ancestral home.

The old Taoist priest of Mount Longhu has reached the pinnacle of human nature in terms of cultivation and state of mind. In this world, there are not many people who can be arrogant in front of the old Taoist priest.

However, Xiao Han is one of them.

He lifted his sleeves, pulled out a chair and sat down, "Why? I came all the way here, but the old Taoist priest can't even give me a cup of hot tea?"

"It's the old man's fault."

"Someone, go make some tea."

The white-haired old Taoist called the boy who was serving outside the hall, and the latter left immediately, not only to make tea, but also to take the opportunity to contact other masters of Longhu Mountain.

Old Heavenly Master, I can tell you clearly that I am currently planning to use military force against the Northern Wei. "

Xiao Han said leisurely: "I also asked someone to spread the rumors outside, with the purpose of confusing the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Central Plains court."

This time, I let Qingyao go south to join Xue Changqing and raise an army to restore the country in order to distract the court's attention and prevent them from hindering me when I destroy the Northern Wei."

"Longhu Mountain and Hui Mountain are located in the south of the Yangtze River. Their strength is intertwined and they are both important parts of my plan."

"First destroy the Northern Wei, then go south to swallow up the Central Plains. This is the strategy I have formulated to unify the world."

The old Taoist priest felt his scalp tingling and asked himself, if he had a choice, he would rather be deaf or not know these things at all.

Sometimes, knowing more is not a good thing, just like now, the King of Xiliang told him these things blatantly.

It is clear that if Longhu Mountain does not surrender, there will be only one way to go, and that is death.

The old Taoist priest frowned, his heart was in turmoil and he was full of hesitation. For a moment, he didn't know how to choose.

"I'll give you a stick of incense."

Xiao Han crossed his legs and said, "The life and death of the entire Longhu Mountain depends on the thought of the old Heavenly Master."

Soon, the boy brought him hot tea. He took it and tasted it slowly.

"The King of Xiliang has come to visit us. I am sorry for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive me."

Outside the main hall, there were a few more figures, who were thought to be the contemporary Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu. The other few old Taoists were the seniors of Mount Longhu, who usually lived in seclusion and practiced hard in the mountains.

Most of these seniors have reached a bottleneck in their cultivation, and their missions are almost coming to an end. They will not come out unless it is a matter of life and death.

of course.

Now it is indeed a life-and-death moment for Longhu Mountain.

"They're all here."

Xiao Han put down his teacup, glanced at a few people, and raised his eyebrows, "With so many people, who is in charge of Longhu Mountain?"

Seeing that the time of an incense stick was running out, the old Taoist priest said: "King Xiliang, can I discuss this with them?"

"Okay." He nodded. "Time is running out."

The old Taoist priest felt relieved, and he went to the side hall next door with several senior people from Longhu Mountain.

"Long story short."

Seeing that all the high-ranking officials of Mount Longhu were present, the old Taoist priest did not hide anything. “The King of Xiliang is here to ask Mount Longhu to submit and to assist Qingyao and Xue Changqing in raising an army to restore their country in Jiangnan.”

"hiss"

Hearing this, several old Taoists gasped and looked at each other, but no one spoke.

"Either you submit to the King of Xiliang, or you will kill everyone on Longhu Mountain today."

The old Taoist priest asked, "What do you think we should choose?"

"Are there any other options?"

The elders of the previous generation smiled bitterly. Even if they never left the mountain, their DNA knew what kind of person the King of Xiliang was.

Even if everyone in Longhu Mountain were tied together, I'm afraid there wouldn't be enough for them to kill.

What else can I do if my arm cannot twist my thigh?
"Submit."

Another elder nodded: "The King of Xiliang has 500,000 elite cavalry under his command, and controls six states. He is very strong and powerful. I'm afraid neither the Northern Wei nor the imperial court can be his opponent."

"I think that the whole world will probably submit to the King of Xiliang in the end. Instead of trying to stop a chariot with a mantis arm and overestimating one's own capabilities, it is better to go with the flow and use your skills to protect the disciples of the mountain sect. You can also gain the upper hand and maybe sow the seeds for the prosperity of Longhu Mountain in the future.

"I agree with surrender."

"But we still have people in the capital."

"This is easy to handle."

The old Taoist priest pondered for a moment and said firmly: "We are only helping Qingyao and Xue Changqing in secret and remain neutral on the surface. This way, the court will not dare to take any action against Longhu Mountain for the time being."

"Besides, once Qingyao raises an army, the imperial court will be unable to take care of itself, and will probably have to win us over."

After discussing it, they finally decided that it would be better to surrender. After all, following the King of Xiliang was much more comfortable than following the imperial court.

Besides, there was no other choice.

However, the fortune of Longhu Mountain is connected to the fortune of the imperial court. If you switch to Xiliang, you must bear the pain and cut off this fortune.

But short-term pain is always better than losing your family and loved ones.

"King Xiliang, we in Longhu Mountain are willing to submit to you and await your orders."

When the time of one stick of incense was up, several old Taoists stepped into the hall again, bowed together, and their expressions became much more relaxed.

“Good birds choose trees to roost in.”

Xiao Han showed a satisfied look, "In the future, you will be glad for the decision you made today."

"My visit to Mount Longhu today must be kept strictly confidential and not leaked at all."

He said, "You should be aware of my methods. If Longhu Mountain betrays you, don't blame me for being ruthless."

“No, no.”

Several old Taoist priests quickly assured, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will keep our promise."

"but."

The old Taoist priest lowered his voice, pointed to the back mountain and whispered, "There are a few troublesome people behind us."

"Is he the ancestor of the royal family?"

Xiao Han said calmly: "The luck of your Longhu Mountain is connected to the royal family. If one prospers, all prosper. If one suffers, all suffer. In the future, I will use some means to cut off your luck. From now on, Longhu Mountain will truly enjoy freedom."

"As for those ancestors, I will deal with them later. A few surviving immortals on land cannot cause much trouble."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Several veteran Taoists finally breathed a sigh of relief.
