The sharp breath was flying wantonly in the air. …,
However, Shan Ling's knife finally stopped. He didn't believe Fang Zhengzheng, or in other words, he no longer wanted to believe Fang Zhengzheng in his heart.
But…
But he had to listen to Fang Zhengzheng's words.
Because he is the crown prince of the Southern Territory.
He can frame his two brothers and seek power and gain, but he cannot abandon the roots of the Southern Territory and the warriors of the Southern Territory under the city.
"Say! You only have a chance to say one word!" Shan Ling's tone was very cold, it was a kind of coldness that looked down on the common people from a high place.
Fang Zhengzheng is indeed a genius.
However, that is just a genius. Under the comparison of absolute strength, no matter how powerful the genius is, it is impossible for him to survive.
"Actually, I don't like being pointed at with a knife." Fang Zhengzheng glanced at Shan Ling and curled his lips, his face full of disdain.
"Buzz!" The knife roared loudly.
Shan Ling's hand holding the knife turned a little white, and the tip of the knife kept trembling. As a man, he felt that he should stick to his promise and stab the knife out.
But, he can't.
He is the crown prince of the Southern Territory, and he cannot destroy the glory created by generations of ancestors.
Fang Zhengzheng looked at Shan Ling, who had an obviously ferocious expression in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips, and then flicked his finger on the tip of the knife in front of him.
"Ding!" A soft chirping sound sounded.
The knife was finally put down.
When the King of the South Territory and Princess Shan Yu saw this scene, they both looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. However, there was one thing they didn't quite understand.
The situation is so tense right now...
Why can Fang Zhengzhi still be so unhurried and impatient like now
Could it be that he really has such strong self-confidence
"Your Majesty, can you answer me a question? If three thousand silver-horned wolf riders are in the Holy Mountain City now, can these three thousand silver-horned wolf riders reach the Iron Soldier Tribe before the demon soldiers?" Fang Zhengzheng asked.
"Of course..." Shan Ling stopped talking midway through his words.
Because he already understood the meaning of Fang Zhengzheng's words.
The demon clan's individual combat ability is very strong, but no matter how strong its individual combat ability is, it cannot be compared with the three thousand silver-horned wolf cavalry of the most elite tribe in the southern region.
Moreover, the three thousand silver-horned wolf cavalry are meant to raid the tribe and move quickly. So, of course, they can reach the Iron Qiu tribe before the fifty thousand demon soldiers.
When the King of the South Territory and Princess Shan Yu heard this, they seemed to understand.
But what they don't understand is...
The three thousand Silver Horned Wolf Riders are not in the Holy Mountain City, so this assumption actually has no meaning.
"The elite of the Southern Territory are the three thousand Silver Horned Wolf Riders, while the elite of our Great Xia Dynasty are the Dragon Guards and the Mountain Breaking Army!" Fang Zhengzheng glanced at Shan Ling, the King of the Southern Territory and Princess Shan Yu, and spoke calmly.
However…
However, the expressions of Shan Ling, Nanyu King and Princess Shan Yu all changed.
Although Fang Zhengzhi didn't say anything clearly in his words, the meaning was very clear, that is, the Dragon Guards and the Mountain Breaking Army are now in the Holy Mountain City!
"If the king, the prince, and the princess are willing to negotiate peace with Daxia, the Dragon Guards and the Poshan Army will try their best to arrive at the Iron Qiu Tribe before the 50,000 demon soldiers, and join the 80,000 elites of the Iron Qiu Tribe to jointly resist the demons. , then... there is still time!" Fang Zhengzheng continued.
Shan Ling fell silent.
There was obvious struggle in his eyes, as if he was thinking, and a stream of cold air surged out of his body, filling the entire palace.
"How can I trust you?" Shan Ling finally looked at Fang Zhengyi again after being silent for a full quarter of an hour.
"You have no choice." Fang Zhengzheng said calmly.
"What this prince is asking is, how can you, a small fourth-grade sword wielder, represent the attitude of the Great Xia Dynasty!" Shan Ling's tone suddenly turned cold.
"What if we add this?" Fang Zhengzheng smiled softly, as if he had expected Shan Ling to have such a problem, and slowly sat back on the chair.
Then, a golden token also appeared.
The token is not too big, but it is made entirely of pure gold. The golden dragon is circling. The most important thing is that there is a word engraved on the token.
"Holy!"
The imperial decree of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Fang Zhengzheng had seen a holy order in Xing Qingsui's hand last time. Of course, he also had one himself, but its function was not to command the army.
But...
The sage Lin Mubai gave him the gift to enter the Ministry of Rites.
Seeing the Holy Order is like seeing the Holy One in person.
This thing is very useful, and the purpose of this piece of holy order will never be clearly written on the holy order, so it is impossible for anyone to notice and discover it.
However, this thing is not easy to use.
Because, if you use it "indiscriminately", it means that you have been charged with "false preaching of the Holy Order". When the incident comes to light, there is only one word for your end...
die!
"Is this... a holy order?!" Shan Ling's eyes finally changed when he looked at Fang Zhengyi. For the first time, his arrogant aura subsided.
"That's right." Fang Zhengzheng nodded, this was the effect he wanted.
"Why do you have the Holy Order on your body?" Shan Ling was a little confused.
"Does His Highness the Crown Prince really think that the purpose of my coming to the Southern Territory is just to participate in the martial arts test? I went to the Southern Territory alone, and then entered the princess's military camp. Do you really think this is normal?" Fang Zhengzheng He answered without thinking.
Shan Ling was silent again.
Of course he has eyes and ears in Princess Shan Yu's military account, so he could quickly guess Fang Zhengzheng's identity just now, so of course he knows what happened between Princess Shan Yu and Fang Zhengyi.
Also know...
Princess Shan Yu once handed over five hundred Silver-horned Wolf Riders to Fang Zhengzheng.
However, when he heard Fang Zhengzheng's words, his brows frowned subconsciously. Of course, he understood the meaning of Fang Zhengzheng's words.
Just because he understood it, he felt a chill behind his back.
original…
He felt that this war had always been under his control, but now, when Fang Zhengzheng showed the holy order in his hand, he had a feeling.
That's what it feels like to be treated like a marionette.
In front of the demons, he was a target to be exploited, and in front of Daxia, all his actions were also calculated by the Holy Emperor Daxia.
Sweat rolled down his forehead.
"This is impossible. How could the Emperor of Daxia guess that this prince would negotiate peace with you? How could he send you into the Southern Territory in advance? The most important thing is, how could he guess that the princess would let you go and let you go again? Entering the martial arts test!" Shan Ling didn't believe it, he really didn't believe it.
"Does it make sense? Princess, let me go, or not? Does it really matter whether I take part in the martial arts test or not? Your Highness, think about it carefully, what is really important? The demons will definitely treat Nan Yu takes action...then my existence is necessary!" Fang Zhengzheng put the Holy Order back into his arms and said casually.
Silence, silence.
Shan Ling said no more.
The King of the South Territory and Princess Shan Yu also did not speak immediately. However, the King of the South Territory and Princess Shan Yu knew that the matter was actually settled.
Since there is no choice.
Then why continue to hesitate.
"Fang Zhengzheng... tell me your Daxia conditions!" Shan Ling did not remain silent any longer, because he knew the current situation very well. Of course, he also knew it.
There is no free lunch in this world.
"Although the overall strength of the Dragon Guards and the Mountain Breaking Army is stronger than that of ordinary demon soldiers, they are not very familiar with the terrain. Therefore, if they really want to reach the Iron Qiu Tribe before the demon soldiers, they need the cooperation of the Southern Territory. "
"What cooperation?"
"Terrain, the terrain of the Southern Territory!"
"You want the topographic map of my southern region?!"
"yes."
"It's impossible. Our Southern Territory relies on its geographical advantage. The terrain map of the Southern Territory has been controlled by the royal family of the Southern Territory for generations. If it is handed over to you, it will be equivalent to exposing the entire Southern Territory to your Daxia."
"Well, what the Crown Prince said makes sense, then, please His Highness the Crown Prince, please give the order immediately?"
"What order?"
"Of course it's an order to follow us to the Iron Qiu tribe? Since His Royal Highness is unwilling to give me the terrain map, he must find someone to lead the way, right?" Fang Zhengzheng said matter-of-factly.
"You don't need to find anyone, I will personally guide you!" After hearing this, Princess Shan Yu finally spoke again, and at the same time, she walked directly to Fang Zhengyi.
There was no intention of getting the consent of the Southern Territory King and Shan Ling.
Shan Ling looked at Princess Shan Yu and then at the King of the South Territory behind him. He slowly bit his lips and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"And this prince... will also guide you!" When Shan Ling said the last words, he seemed to have finally made the final decision.
"Ling'er!"
"Father, the Holy Mountain City will be handed over to my father!"
"Ling'er... Yu'er, be careful here." The King of the Southern Territory looked at Shan Ling, then at Princess Shan Yu, and finally nodded.
The Holy Mountain City must be guarded.
Because this is the root of the Southern Territory. As long as the Holy Mountain City does not fall, the fighting spirit in the hearts of the soldiers in the Southern Territory will not fall.
"The King Yongchang, the Crown Prince Yongchang, the Princess Yongchang!" Looking at this scene, the maids of the Southern Region all shouted in unison again.
Princess Shan Yu looked at the maids from the Southern Region, and then at Fang Zhengyi.
She always felt a little strange, because according to Fang Zhengzheng's personality, wasn't it time to take advantage of the situation and then talk about the terms
But…
Why did Fang Zhengyi not mention a single condition
Moreover, this interview is too simple and hasty, right
There was no contract, no witness, just a verbal agreement, and the peace talks between the Southern Territory and Daxia were reached? Getting back together
Princess Shan Yu felt that what was happening in front of her could simply be described as magical.
But, this happened.
…
Of course, Fang Zhengzheng is not a person who will not take advantage of something, but that is only when he has enough time. In fact, he really doesn't have time now.
As for the contract that Princess Shan Yu wants.
Then he won't even sign it.
because…
He wanted to forget about this matter, or in other words, from beginning to end, he didn't want people to know what the peace talks in the Southern Territory had to do with him.
It's not that he is arrogant.
Rather, he did not want people to know that he had taken out the Holy Order and pretended to be the Holy Will.
He couldn't bear the crime of beheading, even though he had 80% hope that the Holy Father would think that Founder had done such a great job and could be exempted from the crime of beheading.
But so what
Eighty percent, after all, only eighty percent.
There is also a 20% hope that cannot be ignored. To put it another ten thousand steps back, Fang Zhengzheng has no great interest in making meritorious deeds and becoming an official.
Then, of course he is not willing to take this kind of risk.
at last…
There is another most important point.
That is, he does not know whether the Dragon Guards and the Mountain Breaking Army are really in the Holy Mountain City now. He said that all this is just speculation.
Secondly, it is whether the Dragon Guards and the Mountain Breaking Army can really reach the Iron Qiu Tribe before the demon soldiers as planned, and leave enough time for the large forces behind them.
All this is a question mark.
Too many uncertainties.
So, talking about conditions and contracts now, in fact, it really doesn't make any sense.
"Let's go?" Princess Shanyu said looking at Fang Zhengzheng, who was still sitting motionless on the chair. She didn't know what Fang Zhengzheng was thinking, but she knew that time was really tight now.
Shan Ling also looked at Fang Zhengyi.
The royal army in the Holy Mountain City originally numbered 20,000, but after a day and night of fighting, 30% of the royal army had been killed or injured, and the current royal army was no more than 10,000.
Of course these people have to stay and guard the Holy Mountain City.
The purpose was also to prevent the Iron Qiu tribe from sending troops to sneak attack the royal city in case the demon soldiers failed in the first battle.
under such circumstances.
Shan Ling and Princess Shan Yu are actually waiting for the sergeants in Fang Zhengzheng's hands. To be precise, they are the Dragon Guards and Mountain Breakers hidden in the Holy Mountain City as Fang Zhengzheng said.
"Okay, let's go!" After hearing Princess Shanyu's words, Fang Zhengzheng quickly stood up, nodded, patted the water stains on his body, and then turned around and walked out of the palace gate.
Outside the gate.
When the six injured Wangcheng soldiers saw Fang Zhengzheng walking out, they all subconsciously raised the black spears in their hands that had been broken into two pieces.
"Stop!" Shan Ling shouted sharply.
Six spears were fixed in the air.
In response, Fang Zhengzheng didn't even look at it, he walked directly through the six royal soldiers who were standing there blankly, and strode towards the outside of the royal palace.
because…
The most important thing for him now is to find the Dragon Guard and the Mountain Breaking Army.
"Xing Hou... I believe you very much. I can see the meaning of that imperial edict. It's impossible for you not to see it, right? Where are you now... in the Holy Mountain City? Or under the corner of the Holy Mountain City? Can you? Can't you... give me a bright reminder?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at the sky as he walked.
Night, as quiet as water.
Stars are hanging in the sky, and the icy chill is slowly coming, which means that the coldest winter in the Southern Territory is really coming. (To be continued.)u
