Chapter 375: Heavenly Khan (asking for monthly ticket)
God Khan!
As majestic as the Eternal Heaven, as vast as the Eternal Heaven.

He is the king of kings, the Khan of Khans. Fan Qing and Ling Pingyang, two generals born in the Central Plains, have no special feeling about such a title, but for Qibi Li, it is an indescribable sense of honor.

King of kings!

Among the heroes of the Western Regions, there is no greater title than this.

The roar of the Jiuzhou Ding was loud and Li Guanyi knew that it was time to cast the Nine Dings.

So he pondered, and then, as a hegemon should at the moment, he did not thank or decline, but just leaned back slightly, put his hands on the armrests, nodded slightly, and replied:
"allow."

One word.

It's not that I'm declining or thanking you for bestowing upon me the title of Heavenly Khan.

Instead,

I allow you to call me the Heavenly Khan!
With the promise, the domineering aura became stronger. The Khans felt an indescribable oppression and became even more awed. The Sky Khan was not to be loved and admired, but to be feared, just like the sky.

Under the blades of spears and knives, these brave and ferocious kings of the Western Regions learned to be humble.

Salute respectfully.

As a result, the news of the kings' surrender spread far and wide. The noble cavalry of each tribe tied long flags of the corresponding tribe on both sides of their horses and galloped quickly across the desert, delivering the news to different countries.

The leader of Shatuo was beheaded, changes occurred in the Helian family, and Tian Khan issued an edict.

Fan Qing led the coalition forces to arrive at Shatuo Kingdom.

After three days, the country was settled.

After eradicating the rebels, he re-established Helian Bo's nephew as king, and then he came forward respectfully, knelt and kowtowed.

The title of Tian Khan rose for the first time.

Like the rising sun.

With just a scroll of imperial decrees and a general, the majesty of the king of a country in the Western Regions could be abolished and established.

Li Guanyi refused the so-called grand royal court ceremony, but confiscated the royal seals of various tribes. The Khans of various tribes did not know what Li Guanyi meant, but they dared not disobey the order of the Heavenly Khan.

It's just a royal seal.

Perhaps, Tian Khan also wanted to forge his own royal seal.

When the King of Tuyuhun forged the golden tiger seal, he not only confiscated the seals of various tribes, but also the heads of the royal families of various tribes and countries. Today, the Khan only wants the seal, which is simply the extreme of kindness.

So they handed over their royal seals.

Inside the king's tent.

Li Guanyi sat cross-legged in front of the table, wiping the Chixiao sword.

Several times in a row, Li Guanyi used the Chixiao Sword as an arrow before the battle and shot the Heavenly Wolf in the face. It was very useful, but the sword spirit of the Chixiao Sword was very frustrated and angry. He almost said to Li Guanyi, "I am a sword, not an arrow! I am not a jerk!"
Which good guy shoots a sword as an arrow? !
Li Guanyi had to use the maintenance oil produced in the Western Regions to wipe the Chi Xiao Sword and maintain the sword body of the Chi Xiao Sword. Recently, he did not touch the Longtu Sword and Qiu Shui Sword, which made the Chi Xiao Sword's temper calm down a little.

While Li Guanyi didn't know, the Chixiao Sword was showing off to the Qiushui Sword and the Longtu Sword.

Li Guanyi wiped the Chixiao Sword and stared at the table in front of him. Seals from different countries and styles were placed on the table. In the eyes of others, the majestic and solemn Khan of Heaven looked at these things, and the first thought that popped into his mind was:
"If these things are sold together, they must be worth a lot of gold, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, after all, putting the seals of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions together, and the Tuyuhun Tiger Golden King Seal, will have more collection value than selling them individually."

Nine-Colored Divine Deer: “…………”

She ignored Li Guanyi's answer and asked curiously:

"Are you planning to make a seal yourself?"

Li Guanyi withdrew his gaze, somewhat regretfully, thought for a moment, and replied, "I would like to, but unfortunately I can't do it now. According to our standards, I am not qualified."

"If we are busy making the imperial seal now, it would be just vanity."

“I started enjoying it before I could even succeed.”

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said: "You have become the Khan of all the Khans in the Western Regions."

"They can all have seals, why can't you make one?"

Li Guan put down the Chixiao Sword and replied with a smile: "Either don't do it, or do it to the best of your ability. There is a story about Yelang Country in my hometown, and I don't want to be arrogant."

"Besides, an old senior has already made a sample."

"You have to follow."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer was puzzled. She was still a little curious: "When can I make the imperial seal?" Li Guanyi thought for a long time, then replied: "You will know when the time comes."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer said, "I'm still very curious."

"Are you being stubborn too?"

Li Guanyi smiled and replied: "I'm not being stubborn, I just really don't think it's possible."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer asked, “Then tell me, to what extent?”

"For example..."

Li Guanyi stretched out his hand, as if holding all the seals on the table in his palm, and replied: "The nine provinces and four seas are all unified."

"It extends to the edge of the Turkic region in the north and to the edge of the sea in the south."

"It occupies the four seas, starting from the towering mountains in the east and ending at the sacred mountain of Juxu in the west. Starting from the capital, if you choose any direction, you will have to run for more than ten days on a thousand-mile horse."

"The four seas of the world are all one country."

"Only then will I be qualified to make the imperial seal."

Li Guanyi stated the standards in his soul and bloodline.

Although it is not impossible to make a jade seal now, he always feels awkward. The habits in his soul memory always make him feel that he can't do this. Even if he casts a seal, it is not upright enough and has a bit of inexplicable petty-mindedness.

The world has never been unified, and the people have never had peace, but people start singing praises and building palaces and seals. What is this called?
Peaceful and isolated! Peaceful and isolated!
The Nine-Colored Divine Deer remained silent, her heart surging. She had originally thought that occupying such a vast land as the Western Regions already made him a very remarkable hero. However, the moment the young general in front of her opened his mouth, it was clear that he was more courageous than she had imagined.

And he spoke very seriously.

It's as natural as saying it snows in winter and it's too hot in summer.

Precisely because it is so natural, it is all the more compelling.

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer couldn't help but sigh. What kind of experience and what kind of custom would make people take the unification of the world, something that makes them feel overwhelmed when it is mentioned, as a habitual standard?

Li Guanyi added: "My seal is just a souvenir. Although I am not sure how far I can go, if by luck I succeed, I have already thought of the words on the seal."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer asked in confusion: "What is it?"

She saw Li Guanyi thinking for a long time, then he picked up the charcoal next to him, and inserted one end of the charcoal into the stove. It was already charred black. Li Guanyi used the charred end as ink and wrote eight words in one breath on the fur blanket presented by the Western Regions.

"Ordered by Heaven."

"Long live forever."

The Nine-Colored Divine Deer thought about these eight words, which seemed ordinary.

But when it is connected with the unification of the nine provinces and four seas, there is an inexplicable surge of energy. Li Guanyi smiled again and said, "But later I thought about it, and it seems that being appointed by heaven is not very suitable. I should think about this first sentence again, or say it."

"[Receive the mandate from Yanhuang, and live long and prosper forever]."

"After all, it's not decided yet. There's no point in talking about it now."

"Let's cast the tripod first."

Li Guanyi has ordered all the thirty-six tribes to send their own gold and iron. Just under the real holy mountain in the Western Regions, simple preparations for casting tools have been made, and the gold and iron of the various countries have been melted under the blazing flames.

Li Guanyi looked into the distance and lowered his eyes slightly.

I hope it’s not too late, Western Region…

………………

The Western Regions, or should we say the area outside the Great Wall.

The battles among the countries were fierce. Lu Youxian's strategy was steady and cautious. He avoided contact with He Ruoqinhu and also avoided the Wolf King's troops. Instead, he fought quietly with the rebels in the Western Regions.

His fighting style is stable, like a big iron lump.

Often 50,000 people are mobilized to defeat a few thousand people.

He would be very cautious if the difference in troop strength was less than three times.

Even though the troop strength difference was ten times, when the generals of the Western Regions planned to take advantage of the enemy's underestimation of the enemy and fight hard, they found that the famous general of the Chen State, which had a ten-fold difference in troop strength, first began to build defensive measures, and then cleared the way with cloud chariots, catapults, crossbows and other mechanisms.

Then came the heavy armor and heavy shield suppression.

Behind them came the spearmen and archers.

After killing the person, special archers would place a crossbow at the corpse's brow, throat, heart, and genitals, then chop off the enemy's head and build a memorial along the way.

Like a mobile fortress.

Almost sickeningly steady.

Arrive at a place, determine the strategy, and then, no matter what, build a city first.

In the rear, the fortress on the border of the State of Chen was constantly being thickened and reinforced. An inner city and an outer city had been built. Even if the outer city was breached, there was still an inner city fortress with corresponding mechanism roads.

Lu Youxian's deputy Lan Wendu came from the Mohist school.

He is very good at building cities. At the same time, with the help of the alliance with Anxi City, Lan Wendu and the Anxi City strategist named Wen Qingyu have a better and closer relationship. Lan Wendu sometimes feels that

Wen Qingyu is really too innocent and harmless.

He got the information so easily, and Wen Qingyu acted like a good brother, which made Lan Wendu feel a little embarrassed.

One day, he said while drunk: "If the world is at peace someday, and you are defeated, come to my place. No matter what, I will give you a place to stay."

Wen Qingyu said: "Brother, you are such a good person!"

"Your words make me feel at ease."

"And if we win, I will give you a good place to go."

Lan Wendu laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait and see. I hope that no matter how things develop, you won't resent me..." Wen Qingyu smiled and said, "You are my beloved relative, brother."

"How could I hate you?"

"I really, really, really appreciate you. These words come from the bottom of my heart!"

When Lan Wendu saw Wen Qingyu's sincerity, he could feel the latter's sincerity.

How stupid.

Lan Wendu thought.

Even after being sold, he still helped others count the money, looking very happy.

In these troubled times, it is because of stupid people like you in high positions that the world has not been unified yet.

The two laughed and drank, but when Wen Qingyu got drunk, Lan Wendu was sober and said, "What a pity, what a pity..." He threw down the wine cup in his hand, stood up, walked to the side of Wen Qingyu, and pushed Wen Qingyu with his toes. Wen Qingyu was drunk and very confused.

Lan Wendu said:

"Brother, you can drink quite well, but unfortunately, you don't know how to use medicine, and you don't understand human nature."

"I added three kinds of Ma Fei San into this wine, brother."

"How can we be friends?"

"You know so many of my secrets. I can only send you to a place that is absolutely 'safe'. You may have the talent for internal affairs, but you have a fatal flaw."

"You don't know how to [plan for yourself]!"

He easily saw the strategic style of Anxi City from the documents on Wen Qingyu's body, and then let Wen Qingyu go while he was still asleep. Lan Wendu used this method to inform Lu Youxian of the information, allowing Lu Youxian to successfully contain Anxi City.

It can be considered a considerable military achievement.

So the initial vigilance and alertness gradually eased down.

It is confirmed that Mr. Wen Qingyu is just a stupid and harmless person.

Later, it was discovered that Mr. Wen Qingyu was actually in charge of various businesses in Anxi City. Although Lan Wendu was talented, he also had the habit of officials from aristocratic families of the State of Chen, using his power to gain his own interests.

Seeing that Wen Qingyu had no doubt about him at all, he wanted to take the benefits into his own hands. Without reporting to Lu Youxian, he signed many trade cooperation agreements with Anxi City and allowed the caravans to enter the border fortress of the State of Chen.

He embezzled a lot of gold and silver, and felt very proud of himself for a while.

At the beginning, the border troops of the State of Chen were very vigilant and would strictly inspect the caravans brought by Wen Qingyu every time. However, they always found that everything was normal. When the merchants came, they would bring a lot of delicious food and tribute to the border troops of the State of Chen.

As he got used to it, his inspections gradually became less strict. At the same time, Lan Wendu, who had earned tens of thousands of taels of silver in less than a month, became more greedy, and his vigilance gradually dissipated in the presence of gold and silver.

The city was built in such a way that it was airtight on all sides.

Lu Youxian didn't understand formations as well as the great masters of the Yin-Yang School hundreds of years ago, but he knew very well that if he lacked quality, he could make up for it with quantity, so he built the defenses of this city large and strong.

It's impossible to break through.

Lan Wendu gradually relaxed his vigilance. Some officials in the city were dissatisfied, saying that it was unreasonable, but they were defeated by the money offensive. This was the style of the Chen officialdom. Only Lu Youxian refused to obey.

It happened that the Xue Family Chamber of Commerce came and went, and built a teahouse in the frontier city, called——

Changfeng Tower.

...............

On that day, Lu Youxian wiped out 7,000 soldiers and horses from the Western Regions, beheaded them and built a Jingguan, and harvested countless cattle and sheep; He Ruoqinhu made a fierce breakthrough on the northern front, was invincible, and defeated all enemies. He met the divine general Xiao Wuliang, and both sides led 50,000 troops to fight.

He Ruo captured the tiger and strengthened the military prestige.

Xiao Wuliang was defeated, and He Ruo captured the tiger and attacked.

The wolf king suddenly rushed out from the north, and He Ruo captured the tiger and fought with the wolf king.

Unable to defeat.

Leading the remaining troops to retreat, Wolf King Chen Fubi sat on his mount and watched He Ruo capture the tiger and leave. There were differences among the generals, and the gap between the Wolf King and He Ruo capture the tiger seemed to be only one step, but the Wolf King was now burdened with the momentum of destroying the country, and it was grand and majestic.

He Ruoqinhu was no match for the Wolf King and was defeated each time he fought against him several times.

However, he only left with 5,000 troops the first time, but this time he was able to reorganize the army. Such a famous general was also adapting to the style of the Wolf King in an incredible way.

Xiao Wuliang stepped forward to plead guilty.

The wolf king laughed loudly: "What crime have you committed by fighting so hard?"

"Get up!"

The Wolf King rewarded those who fought bravely and killed the enemies, so the morale of the army was high. During the banquet, the old Living Buddha from the Western Regions found the Wolf King. Even at the victory banquet in the army, there was no drinking, but there was plenty of cattle and sheep.

The wolf king held the wine glass and looked at the sky. The old living Buddha noticed the wolf king's temperament, which became more and more fierce and powerful, but gradually became decadent. The old wolf king asked, "The monk is here?"

The old monk looked at the Wolf King and said, "The King's aura is becoming more violent."

"That technique..."

The Wolf King replied: "He has surpassed the ancestor who created this forbidden martial art."

The old monk was speechless.

The Wolf King said: "The times our ancestor lived in were far less turbulent than ours now. He finally enjoyed a few decades of peace. Otherwise, his cultivation level would have been higher than mine."

"Five hundred years ago, in our ancestor's last battle, he fought God General Xue. He wanted to break through by relying on the momentum of the fight. He also had the thought that even if he couldn't break through himself, he could help God General Xue break through."

"General Xue is more skilled than the others, and he finally got a glimpse of the martial arts legend."

“But in the end, he took a half step back.”

"My ancestor was furious and beat up General Xue. General Xue knew he was in the wrong and did not fight back. But when my ancestor asked about the glory after that step, General Xue told him—"

The Wolf King said: "Military strategy is the path of war."

"Only in a chaotic and turbulent world of war will a unique general appear, and the evil spirit will be strong enough. Therefore, only in such an environment can a military general break through and become a martial arts legend."

"If he wants to break through, he will cause chaos in the world again."

The old living Buddha heard these secrets for the first time and said, "...So, General Xue took this step back because he didn't want the people to suffer and didn't want the world to be in chaos again?"

The wolf king replied: "My ancestors thought the same, so they were impressed and asked."

"General Xue replied that it was not the case. He just felt that the chaos was too annoying and he had to fight again. His only wish in life was to be with the woman next to him, to go to the South Mountain and spend the last days of his life leisurely."

"The ancestor sneered in anger and beat up General Xue again."

The old monk said: "...What a wonderful person."

"Duke Chen Baxian, have you finally let it go?"

Chen Fubi looked at the skinny old monk and said with a smile: "If I tell you the last words of our ancestors, I'm afraid it will offend your Buddhist heart, so I'd better not tell you."

"It's just that in his last days, our ancestor was still cursing General Xue as a coward."

"Before my ancestor passed away, General Xue squatted on the wall and raised his middle finger, mocking me. My ancestor cursed him, but he still wanted to fight with his weapon. In the end, he was gray-haired, holding a spear and wearing armor, and he exchanged a move with General Xue and died suddenly."

"When our ancestor passed away, General Xue did not come, nor did he shed tears. He just played his sword, sang loudly, and rode wildly."

"Everyone says they have a bad relationship, but that's because they don't understand a man's heart."

The old living Buddha looked at the Wolf King, who was extremely powerful, but he felt something was wrong. Suddenly, a feeling like thunder fell on his heart. The old living Buddha stood up suddenly, looked at the Wolf King, and said with trembling lips: "Have you, have you made a breakthrough?"

"Legend of martial arts, peerless general."

The old wolf king narrowed his eyes, turned his back to the living Buddha, and simply replied:

"I just broke through the realm of my ancestors."

"What is a martial arts legend?"

"Are the millions of soldiers under the command of a divine general not more powerful than the so-called martial arts legends? How can one's personal bravery compare to the rest of the world?"

The Wolf King held up the knife beside him, stood up, his sleeves fluttering, and his aura as fierce as a tiger or a wolf, which made the Living Buddha of the Western Regions inexplicably think of the sword maniac in the last battle.

He knew that the Wolf King must have taken that step. Even if he didn't break through, he had already reached the door. When did the Wolf King plan to take this step?
This is the wolf that has been running tirelessly across the world all his life.

What to do?!

Wolf King Chen Fubi said: "I just said that our ancestor is pitiful."

"If it weren't for General Xue, he would have died on his bed in the peaceful era. I am better than my ancestor, not because my martial arts are better than his, but because I don't have to die on my bed because of this."

“Maybe some people think that dying in peace is a good thing.”

"But I don't think so. I feel that dying on the road to a peaceful and prosperous world is the greatest pleasure for us. People like me have three strong qualities: jealousy is too strong; self-righteousness and injustice are too strong; and the desire for supremacy is too strong."

"I am in a time of peace and prosperity, and I will definitely become a problem of that era."

The old Living Buddha looked at the wolf king who had his back to him, his expression moved.

The old wolf king smiled and said, "Let's not talk about these boring things."

“Whether you break through or not, whether you live forever or not, it doesn’t matter.”

"The troops from the Western Regions have not moved for more than ten days, and Li Guanyi has never appeared. Old Living Buddha, do you think there is any connection between these two things?" The old Living Buddha didn't know how to answer.

The Wolf King said: "I think, if there is a connection, Li Guanyi is probably not in Anxi City, he should be in the Western Regions?"

The old living Buddha disagreed and said, "What absurd things are you talking about, Your Majesty?"

The old wolf king laughed loudly: "Ridiculous?"

"The magic of military strategy lies in these two words. If even the wisdom of the Living Buddha finds it absurd, I must go and see it. My nephew is not an ordinary person. If he joins forces with Chen and Ying, he will definitely lose."

"Li Wanli would not do anything that would put him at a disadvantage, and he certainly wouldn't do it."

"If he wants to defeat me, he can only get the troops from the Western Region!"

“He has the courage to do so.”

The Living Buddha of the Western Regions was dumbfounded: "Does your Majesty have any evidence?"

The old wolf king said: "No!"

"But if I were with him, I would definitely do the same thing."

"How can a hero like you do ordinary things and become a pawn of others when you are here? Even in the most desperate moment, even when it is most impossible to win, you must fight with all your might. Even if you die, you must die heroically."

"Without such courage, how can we fight for the world?"

"But today, I just want to go and see my nephew."

"I bet he must have chosen to go to the Western Regions. In this case, the Western Regions will also become my enemy!"

The old Living Buddha felt that this old but heroic general was simply saying absurd things. The wisdom of Buddhism could not understand the generals galloping in the human world. The Wolf King patted the old Living Buddha on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"As for whether he is or not, let's see if he is in Anxi City."

"If I win, you can burn your relics for me."

"One day I will be in the eighteen levels of hell and use it to gamble with King Yama."

The old Living Buddha was dumbfounded.

The old wolf king laughed out loud.

On that day, the Wolf King rewarded the three armies and raised troops. Taking advantage of He Ruo's defeat in capturing the tiger, he marched his troops a thousand miles forward, occupied the territory, and personally led an army of 50,000 men, heading straight for Anxi City. He ignored all the interference plans of the defeated army.

Pojun frowned.

The situation in the Western Region is turbulent.

At the same time, Li Guanyi started the most critical step in the Western Regions, casting the Nine Cauldrons, bringing together the Nine Cauldrons of Jiangnan’s Luck and the Nine Cauldrons of Western Regions’ Luck. That is, he gathered the gold and iron of the thirty-six tribes of the Western Regions and melted them into one. The Nine-Colored Divine Deer personally released infinite divine light.

To cast the second of the Nine Cauldrons.
