"Xihuang is going to be destroyed?" In the Nanli Palace, Mang You was laughing with all the generals: "This is really heartbreaking."

In the face of the ridicule, Li Qinglin's smile did not change: "There are not only two countries in the world, the South and the West. There are many big countries in the Middle Earth, and the national strength is a hundred times stronger than you and me. You barbarians are afraid to forget."

The generals in the Western Wilderness were still laughing, but Mang You realized something, and the smile gradually subsided.

As if educating his subordinates, Li Qinglin slowly said: "Our southern border has complex landforms and rugged roads. If the Middle-earth country wants to conquer, the road will be difficult, the transportation will be inconvenient, and it will only take manpower and material resources. It's not worth it. There used to be a big country's army under the city, but we were called ministers, and we were allowed to pay tribute autonomously. When the big country itself is destroyed, our Nanli is still there, and it has become an independent country again. This is our Nanli away from the root of immortality."

Speaking of which, Li Qinglin looked at Mang You with pity: "You barbarians have just risen for less than a hundred years, your culture is poor, and your history is shallow. I'm afraid you don't know the truth here. Do you really think that a stronger country doesn't exist?"

Mang You didn't get angry, and his expression gradually became very solemn: "Are you... colluding with the great power of Middle-earth?"

"The north is now the country of Qian." Li Qinglin supported the armrest of the dragon chair with one hand, and smiled leisurely: "A month ago, this king sent an envoy to be a minister... Well, in fact, it is not called a minister, it is still Qin Fengnan of the Qian Kingdom. After King Li, Qianguo also sent a lot of property to express his condolences."

"I can't believe that you, Li Qinglin, would be willing to be a vassal!"

"So you're just a general, and I'm the king." Li Qinglin said leisurely: "Politics doesn't care about face, only results."

"As a result, Qian Guo didn't see a single soldier or soldier to protect you?"

"I also think they can come... But the road is inconvenient, and it's snowing and icy, so of course there won't be any army. Sending thousands of elites here to defend me, there's nothing I can do if I don't want to." Li Qinglin laughed Said: "But it's not that there is no other way... They don't want to come to defend the city, but a vanguard, with a sword pointing at the land of the Western Wilderness, is a bit different in nature. You and I are both interested in conquering a country, Emperor Qianguo. Of course I'm also interested."

Mang You's expression changed greatly: "You side will offer customs, it really is a plan, to drag us in Nanli!"

"Of course it's a trick. Will I, Li Qinglin, be such a faint-hearted lord that no one is willing to be loyal, and he would go all the way to the enemy and lead the way. Thinking about it, I know it's not normal. Mang Zhan has no brains, and neither do you Man You?" Li Qinglin said with a smile: " Now that the whole country in the Western Wilderness is mobilizing troops, going deep into Nanli, I have an empty stomach, and I don’t know what the outcome of thousands of pioneers will be…”

All the generals in the Western Wilderness changed their faces.

Mang You said sternly: "It's alarmist, if so, why don't you let the Lihuo Army defend this city, but instead send all of them to Hengshan County, waiting to die empty-handed?"

Li Qinglin shook his head with some regret: "If that's the case, you will return to the division and force the army to retreat, or you may also go to court. In the end, there is no change in the situation. What's the use of making a comeback next year? I will settle this situation once and for all."

Before he finished speaking, a rain of arrows flew from outside the palace gate, shooting all the soldiers that Mang You had arranged to guard outside the gate into hedgehogs. And the palace gate seemed to have some kind of mechanism, and it closed with a bang.

At the same time, a fire broke out in the entire palace, and there was almost no time for it to spread. The entire square was already engulfed in flames, including Li Qinglin and Mang You, all of them were instantly engulfed by the flames.

Li Qinglin laughed in the fire: "Your strongest bloody army in Xihuang and you old war veterans will all die here, and the country's fortune in Xihuang has been lost. Nanli is nothing but a dead monarch, the eldest princess and Li Huo. All the elites are intact, as long as she is not stupid, of course it is you Xihuang who will destroy the country, not my Nanli!"

How could the Xihuang army not care what he was talking about, and crowded towards the palace gate in a chaotic manner. How could they break through at this moment

Mang You was cold all over.

I am afraid that even if Dagan sends troops to help him defend the city, he will refuse Li Qinglin. He clearly deliberately used his body as bait, used his own life, and took the Nanli Palace as a tomb, dragging the entire Xihuang Kingdom to the end!

He roared furiously, and with fire all over his body, the giant axe slashed at Li Qinglin.

Li Qinglin held the gun horizontally, and the two were swallowed by the flames at the same time.

"This king will not have a long lifespan. It is a pleasure to have so many warriors in the Western Wilderness buried for the king."

In the midst of the fire, Li Qinglin looked calm, as if he could not feel the pain of the flames burning his body: "I forgot to tell you, this fire is the blazing flame formation of your family's Donghuazi. , now it is well used, and it has not lived up to the efforts of the people of Nanli."

No one paid attention to him at all, the fire quickly burned through everyone's body, everyone rolled upside down, and the screams resounded through the sky, which had long overshadowed Li Qinglin's words.

Mangyou's giant axe fell to the ground, rolled on the ground in pain, and pointed at Li Qinglin with all his strength: "Since you ascended the throne, you have been practicing Taoism in a daze, is it all a scam?"

Li Qinglin silently leaned his gun on the ground and closed his eyes: "No, at that time... it was true."

"Boom!" The palace collapsed, and the sky was red with fire.

Ming He looked at the fire over Lihuo City faintly, remembering the conversation when he met Li Qinglin a few days ago.

"You really don't tell Qingjun well about your arrangement?"

"Qingjun knows, it is impossible to agree, and it will be troublesome if you have to die with Lihuo City."

"Then... Pindao told you the origin of the jade pendant, why did you never send anyone to look for it, but instead gave the jade pendant to Qingjun?"

Li Qinglin stared at the carved dragon on the beam and column, and after a long time, he slowly said: "I was worried, and I was shaken. I was greedy for power, but I wanted to live forever... It was not as great as I once imagined. When I found myself According to Qin Yi's method, when I can't cultivate even a trace of immortal energy, I can even be extremely irritable, beating and scolding concubines, whipping palace servants-maybe I'm just a layman, and I have the potential to be a tyrant."

Ming He looked at him quietly and didn't answer.

"But Daoist Master, people are so strange... When one day he wakes up, he has never been so clear... I know that not only was I not saved, but Nanli was also not saved. It has rotted to the bone... If It will take a few years to slowly reverse, there may still be a chance, but Xihuang will not give us this time, they will not even wait for the spring, this winter will definitely have a thunderous raid."

Ming He was still listening.

"In such a short time, let alone Qingjun, even if I didn't get cursed and worked hard, Nanli couldn't survive this disaster. The previous lofty ambitions were just wishful thinking and self-deception." Li Qinglin smiled: "So we should What are you doing? Waiting to welcome the invaders from the Western Wilderness, perish after a bloody battle, and become a few lamentations in the history books?"

Ming He finally said: "What Pindao asked is, why don't you go to the owner of the jade pendant instead of asking about your national policy."

"Because I don't want to look for it anymore." Li Qinglin said with a smile: "Let's die if you die. How can people not die? I found out what my original intention was."

"What is it?"

"No matter how much work I do, in the end it's just a handful of loess, a few feet of tombs. If that's the case, why did I want this work in the first place?"

Minghe shook his head: "Pindao never knew why you wanted this merit."

Li Qinglin's eyes were a little strange: "The Taoist master's door is extraordinary, maybe someone has immortality? But he lives in the cave, hides from the world, and people don't know it. Compared with the shining annals of history and the admiration of all ages... Who is immortal? "

Ming He was stunned for a moment, silent.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, I'm afraid there is no answer to this question." Li Qinglin laughed again: "Qingjun loves to seek immortals, if one day she can let go of the shackles of Nanli, then the jade pendant will be her guide, I will not I used it. But the Taoist priest sees Qin Yi in the future and tells him a word for me."

"Please say."

"Well... He's a friend worth getting along with, and he's so tired that he's running around for nothing, and I'm very sorry."

Ming He wondered, "Just this?"

"No... I once told him that I would rather believe that the great sage is dead than accept that monkey king cross his knees and live as a Buddha." Li Qinglin said slowly: "Please tell my friends, although I have been shaken, But it finally did.”

Looking at the fire in Chongxiao, Minghe remembered the hexagram he had calculated when he first met Li Qinglin in Zhangjiazhuang.

The dragon fights in the wild, and its blood is dark yellow.

He was not fighting against Donghuazi, or even Xihuang. From beginning to end, he was fighting against Changsheng.
