There are always sick girls with ill intentions towards me

Li Lingge said calmly as he sheathed his sword.

"go on."

Wen Kai took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Nanyue ceded Fengzhou, Yunzhou, and Yanzhou to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the prince defeated the joint forces of Nanyue and the Western Zhou Dynasty in Zhenyuan City."

He took a step forward and continued.

"In my humble opinion, the Western Zhou Dynasty will most likely abandon the Great Chu and attack the South Yue via the Hengduan Mountains, thereby competing with the Great Chu for the territory of South Yue."

Hearing this, Fang Qian couldn't help but widen his eyes. If this guess was true, then South Vietnam would be attacked from both sides!

Xuzhou will be the first to face the army of the Western Zhou Dynasty. What will he use to resist then?

In the past, the imperial court relied on the natural barrier of the Hengduan Mountains, so there were not many defensive troops on the northern front.

The court's main military forces were concentrated in the southern border, which enabled it to contend with the Great Chu for such a long time.

However, since the three states were ceded to the Western Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court has completely put its back to the Western Zhou Dynasty.

If the Western Zhou Dynasty invaded at this time, the imperial court would have just suffered heavy casualties in Zhenyuan City and would be completely unable to defend the northern front.

Li Lingge nodded slightly. It would be a pity to leave this knowledge here to serve as a chief historian.

He had received news from Jiang Li that the Western Zhou army in Jiangnan Road had shown signs of retreating.

At the same time, Concubine Su also brought him news that there were unusual movements in Yuwen Ji's army.

According to the empress's previous style of doing things, after the defeat of Zhenyuan City, South Vietnam became the best place to fight for.

Seeing him nod, Wen Kai continued.

"Your Highness, when you rise up, you should not be targeting the Nanyue court, but delaying the Western Zhou army's southward advance, buying time for the Great Chu to capture the Nanyue capital."

Fang Qian couldn't help but interrupt.

"Even if those disaster victims are willing to help the enemy for food, can they really stop the Western Zhou army?"

These civilians had never been to the battlefield before, and when faced with experienced soldiers, they collapsed at the first blow and lost their lives in vain.

Hearing this question, Wen Kai looked at Li Lingge.

"So, I have something to ask your Majesty."

"it is true."

Li Lingge knew what the other party wanted to ask and gave a direct answer.

Fang Qian looked around at the two of them, somewhat confused.

"What are you two talking about?"

Wen Kai smiled.

“Rumor has it that a total of 600,000 troops from Western Zhou and Nanyue were killed by the thunderbolt summoned by the prince, and Hu Meilin’s body was completely destroyed by the thunderbolt.

If the rumors are true, the rebel army has a flag with the word "Li" on it, and the fighting power of Yuwen Ji's soldiers may be even worse than that of ordinary people."

Although the fighting power of the untrained civilians might be vulnerable, the Western Zhou army, frightened by Li Lingge, also had no will to fight.

Li Lingge reminded.

"Another large army of the Western Zhou Dynasty has already begun to withdraw from the Jiangnan Road of the Great Chu State, and it won't be long before they will enter Nanyue as well."

Wen Kai had obviously thought about this question a long time ago, so he answered without hesitation.

"Great Chu can fully gather its forces to put pressure on the eastern border of Western Zhou. If all 300,000 people go south, Great Chu can take advantage of the situation and advance westward."

His voice became more and more excited.

"Now, the Great Chu has sufficient food and grass, and its morale is high. If the Western Zhou can invade the Great Chu, then why can't the Great Chu invade the Western Zhou?"

There had been no fighting on the border between the two countries for many years, so the Chu State was able to be directly invaded by the Western Zhou army, and the same was true in reverse.

The Western Zhou Dynasty could do this, and so could the Great Chu.

Chasing after the 300,000-strong army, they were unable to move south with peace of mind.

Li Lingge finally expressed his feelings.

"From your knowledge, you don't seem like a long historian."

Wen Kai bowed slightly and said seriously.

"I used to be the commander of Zhenbei Pass, but because I offended the young minister, I was forced to leave the army."

Zhenbei Pass is the first pass for the Western Zhou Dynasty to go south, so he has always been very concerned about the Western Zhou Dynasty and knows much more about military affairs than Fang Qian.

Zhenbei Pass, warm opening!

The original body's memory was suddenly awakened, and Li Lingge seemed to remember something.

He remembered the name Wen Kai because his father had mentioned him before.

Seeing the strange look on his face, Wen Kai asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of my name?"

"Great Chu needs talents like you." Li Lingge seemed to be reminiscing, "My father once said that it was a pity for Wen Kai to stay in Zhenbei Pass where there is no war."

Wen Kai's breathing stagnated and his fists clenched instantly, he no longer had the calmness and composure he had just had.

After a long moment, he smiled helplessly.

"I didn't expect that the person who knew me the most in this world was actually the old prince of Da Chu."

He was wholeheartedly devoted to serving the imperial court, but because he refused to take sides, he couldn't even become a military general.

Snapped!

Wen Kai's big hand suddenly patted Fang Qian's shoulder.

"Master Fang is devoted to the people, but do you think the court can be saved?"

The corner of Fang Qian's mouth twitched. He could see that Wen Kai had long been planning to rebel.

Seeing that he was still unmoved, Wen Kai, sensing the murderous intent, turned and said to Li Lingge.

"Lord Fang was once the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and he is a rare and good official. I hope Your Majesty will allow me to persuade him a little more."

Li Lingge restrained his energy. If he couldn't use it for his own benefit, then he would never let it become his enemy.

"I live in Tangjiabao. Before nightfall, either bring him to me or bring his head to me."

After saying that, Li Lingge turned and left.

The martial arts ability of the Fifth Xuanji is naturally beyond doubt, but it is better to leave the task of leading troops to fight to professionals.

If Wen Kai and Fang Qian, one a scholar and one a warrior, could help him, and with the addition of the Fifth Xuan Ji, the fighting power of this rebel army would increase several times.

……

Tang Mansion.

Returning to the courtyard where the Fifth Xuanji was, the Fifth Xuanji was swinging on a swing holding an exquisite plate.

In that plate, Li Lingge found something that shouldn't be there - grapes!

Moreover, these grapes look too familiar, they don't seem to be produced in the Western Regions.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked down from the golden chariot parked in the yard - Concubine Su.

What caught Li Lingge's eyes was the silver tail behind Su Fei. It didn't look like the bloodline of the nine-tailed fox because it was different from the last tail.

Moreover, it has only been a short time since he last saw her and her cultivation has broken through to the second level.

"The blood in your body has been activated?!"

Seeing Li Lingge's greedy eyes, Su Fei immediately retracted her tail and stared at the guy who was trying to take her tail with a vigilant look.

"Thanks to the prince, I was able to activate the bloodline of the Nine-tailed Immortal Fox in the Tongtian Secret Realm."

Seeing Li Lingge draw his sword, she immediately took a step back.

"If you cut off my tail again, the Su family will fight you to the death."

Li Lingge likes this silver tail so much that he has already decided whose peach butt he wants to insert it into.

"What can the Su family do to fight me? Just your grandfather's half-baked sainthood?"

As soon as she finished speaking, vines entangled her hands and feet.

This move again!

Just when Su Fei wanted to circulate her true Qi to break free, she discovered that the flow of true Qi in her body had become stagnant.

She turned to look at Li Lingge in horror, her voice trembling.

"You, don't come here!"

Canglang.

The Seven Star Sword was unsheathed, and Li Lingge walked towards Su Fei step by step.

"Even if this tail is cut off, it will not affect your bloodline, so——"

"No!" Concubine Su shouted at the critical moment, "The lady of the palace asked me to bring you a message!"

Singer Li Ling paused.

"What did sister-in-law say?"

Su Fei felt relieved, and her heartbeat was like a drum.

"She said the grapes are ripe and she wants the prince to go back and make wine."

Li Lingge glanced at the silver fox tail, and then retracted the Seven Star Sword.

"You came pretty quickly."

Seeing the sword returned to its sheath, Su Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Her tail was saved for the time being, and she would never meet Li Lingge again!

"The teleportation array between my Su family and the capital of Great Chu has been built. The lady asked me to send some grapes to the prince."

As she spoke, she glared at Li Lingge again with resentment.

"I came all the way here to bring grapes to the prince, but the prince wanted my tail."

Li Lingge turned a blind eye. He walked to the swing, picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.

He has been away from the capital for too long, and his sister-in-law misses him.

Without the suppression of the Fifth Xuanji, Su Fei walked over bravely.

"Your Majesty, since I sent you grapes and wine, can you let me go in and read a book?"

The grapes burst in the mouth, splashing juice everywhere.

At this moment, Li Lingge's longing for his sister-in-law reached its peak.

"You've almost finished reading the book. I'll show you some other good stuff."

"What good stuff?"

There was a hint of anticipation in Su Fei's beautiful eyes.

Li Lingge didn't say anything, but waved at Di Ying.

"come over."

Di Ying walked forward with a little confusion, and Li Lingge put a grape into her red lips.

"Take you to eat something delicious."

Di Ying raised his eyebrows and raised his hand and said: What’s delicious?

Li Lingge didn't say anything, but stretched out his finger and pointed at the foreheads of Di Ying and Diwu Xuanji.

"Relax your mind."

Two drops of blood essence floated in the air and then merged into his body.

Su Fei was very familiar with this, as it was the condition for entering that space of consciousness.

So, she was the first one to enter Li Lingge's consciousness space?

As soon as the thought came to her mind, everything in front of her changed.
