Kong Ming's question was short of directly saying that the Yaoxian Sect was using Hu Ying as a puppet and actually had other agendas!
But when faced with Kong Ming's question, Elder Wang smiled softly and said: "Master Kong is a smart man. He should know that in the struggle for power, some means must be used. The Hu family is rebellious and perverse. Fighting has become a habit. How can it be a blessing for Liangzhou to have such a family in charge of Liangzhou? Moreover, the Hu family's rebels are ambitious and want to expand their territory. It can be said that they have made enemies on all sides. If Lord Kong is worried The Hu family's rebels are too powerful to deal with, so don't worry. Since Fairy Hu dares to start a war, she must have made preparations in advance. This time, there are not a few strong people invited to supervise the battle. Even if the Hu family's rebels There is no need to worry about them breaking the rules if all the offerings from the Thieves' Enshrinement Pavilion are made, Fairy Hu will naturally have the means to deal with it."
At this point, Elder Wang paused and said: "If Lord Kong can represent the Kong family and hold a grand event together, it will be equivalent to getting another strong support for us. Are we afraid that we will not be able to deal with the Hu family's traitors?"
After hearing the words, Kong Ming did not say yes or no, but stared at Elder Wang and said: "Senior, are you sure you are not joking? Such a big thing can only be done by a young boy like this junior on behalf of the Kong family. Was it decided?"
Elder Wang nodded and said: "Master Kong, to be honest, the Kong family was not originally part of our Yaoxian Sect's plan. However, the strength demonstrated by Master Kong is really something we cannot ignore! Is it better to draw Lord Kong into our camp than to push Lord Kong into the enemy's camp? Besides, although Lord Kong is young, he is the direct disciple of the ancestor of the Kong family, and he is the most valued by the family. As a rising star, if Lord Kong makes the decision, I believe that the entire Kong family will be willing to tie the family interests to Lord Kong. Besides, the traitors of the Hu family entrusted Lord Kong to Izumo County, which is obviously He has no good intentions, he just wants to drag down the Kong family, which has always remained neutral, so that the power of the Kong family can be used by the Hu family's traitors. Lord Kong, I don't need to remind you, you should also understand the principle of seeking wealth through danger. Right? I wonder if Lord Kong is willing to be used by Hu's traitors, or is he willing to take certain risks in exchange for a chance to soar into the sky? "
Kong Ming glanced at Elder Wang and sighed: "Senior, you are really an outstanding lobbyist! I have to say that the prospects you described are indeed quite attractive. However, although this junior is young and has little knowledge, he is also I won’t believe what you say easily. I just want to ask, if Fairy Hu wants to plot the country and the country and bring the Hu royal family to her lineage, then why did the sand bandits invade Izumo County and all they did was massacre the city and exterminate the clan. Bloody things? How can we win the hearts and minds of the people with such means? How can we stabilize the country? In my humble opinion, I am afraid that Fairy Hu is only thinking about destruction, and actually has no intention of reviving the world, right? I Kong Although the family is not a great wealthy family, it has always had a good reputation and is quite famous in the hearts of the people. Is it possible that it is now reduced to joining forces with the sand bandits? The younger generation is not talented, but it is not like the Kong family. Unworthy descendants!"
Kong Ming was obviously unwilling to cooperate, but Elder Wang was not angry. Instead, he sighed and said: "Fairy Hu used the sand bandits to send troops. Military discipline is indeed a bit poor. Moreover, these sand bandits are murderous and often commit massacres." His evil deeds are really uncontrollable. However, for the sake of hegemony, some sacrifices are always inevitable. Lord Kong, you don’t have the so-called benevolence of a woman, do you?”
Kong Ming laughed and said: "Senior, whether it is the benevolence of a woman or the care of one's own feathers, people are different, and the natural ideas are also different. Although the junior is young and has little knowledge, he also knows what he can do. What can't you do? Seniors and juniors, although they don't know why you want to cause more killings, they always have other motives. And the so-called 'rebellion' is just an excuse. How can juniors do it without knowing the reason? Under such circumstances, wading into such a muddy water? Senior, it is useless to say more. We have different opinions and do not want to work together. We should each act according to our own ideas and decide the outcome on the battlefield!"
Elder Wang looked at Kong Ming and was speechless for a long time. Finally, he could only sigh and said: "Master Kong is extremely talented. People like you are rare in a thousand years. It is really my lifelong regret that I don't have the opportunity to work with you! However, Lord Kong's Yulin army is unparalleled in the world, and I feel ashamed that I am inferior to it, so I will lead the army to retreat to avoid a wasted sacrifice! Lord Kong, since you have such amazing means, why don't you help the Kong family to establish their own business? But to succumb to the traitors of the Hu family? What a pity, what a pity!!"
After Elder Wang sighed several times, he waved his hand, and the Yuanli light shield that enveloped everyone immediately dissipated. After bowing to Kong Ming, he flew away with the other three elders and returned to the sand pirate army. among.
After a while, the camp of the sand bandits army was busy for a while, but hundreds of thousands of sand bandits rose up from the camp, really ready to retreat!
Eugene was curious and couldn't help but ask: "Have the Sand Bandits really retreated? They gathered hundreds of thousands of people and came in force. Are they really willing to retreat like this?"
Kong Ming shook his head and said: "We can pretend to attack, and they can naturally pretend to retreat and leave. Humph, these people from the Yaoxian Sect act like the Sand Bandits. They have always been ruthless and decisive, so how can they care about the casualties of human lives?" ? They withdrew the army just now and allowed our team to return to the city. It was not because they were afraid that the sand bandits could not stop us from dying in vain, but because they thought that after the Yulin army returned to the city, they would not have as wide an open space as outside the city, so they would naturally use it. The power of the battle formation is gone! It seems that they want to decide the outcome within the city! I wonder what means they will use to break into the city?"
Kong Ming pondered for a moment, and gradually a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he was talking to himself: "It seems that after returning to the city, I have to visit the city guard and General He. Since the distinguished guests are coming, I naturally have to treat him well." Say hello!"
Eugene has been with Kong Ming for a while, and he knows that once Kong Ming shows up like this, he already has a plan in mind, and others don't need to worry. As long as everything is done according to Kong Ming's arrangements, everything will be fine!
When Kong Ming and Eugene rode back to the city, cheers like mountains and tsunamis once again sounded from above and below the city walls of Yunxia City, and their momentum was no weaker than that of the Yulin army returning to the city!
It is obvious that Kong Ming, the viscount who has only been in Yunxia City for more than half a year, already has a very high status in Yunxia City, and his reputation is only lower than that of the Duan family. The reason why Kong Ming gained such a high reputation is naturally related to the great achievements he made.
Hundreds of thousands of sand bandits surrounded Yunxia City. After Kong Ming came back, these sand bandits retreated in despair. After such a great achievement, isn't it worthy of Kong Ming to enjoy the cheers of the people in the city
After returning to the city, Kong Ming did not return directly to Kong Mansion. Instead, he went to several places. Then the sky gradually darkened. No one knew where Kong Ming went in the end...

The night is getting darker, and now it is past midnight and it is already early morning. The sentries on duty at the top of Yunxia City are inevitably a little distracted and feel drowsy!
In the past few days when the army of sand bandits besieged the city, all the soldiers and civilians of Yunxia City had been working hard to defend the city without sleep. Now that the sand bandits had finally retreated, it was inevitable that their spirits would relax. More importantly, when the Sand Bandits retreated, Yunxia City had been sending out sentries to follow them. It was determined that the Sand Bandits army was camping and resting more than forty miles away from the city. Naturally, it was impossible to pose a threat to Yunxia City.
A sentry took a nap unknowingly, but he soon woke up, patted his face, and then looked outside the city. He saw that everything was pitch black and there was no abnormal movement at all. He I feel relieved.
This sentry is just an ordinary person. Although his eyesight is considered to be very outstanding among ordinary people, how does he know the mystery of Yuanli? He didn't know that not far in front of him, there was a thin layer of Yuanli light shield. Although it was dim, it could refract his sight, making it impossible for him to see or hear the movement below the city. To the sound!
High in the sky, there is a figure quietly hiding in the clouds, and it was he who arranged the Yuanli light shield at the top of Yunxia City. It stands to reason that Yunxia City has a city protection restriction. If there are abnormal fluctuations in energy on the city wall, the restriction should respond. But this time, the city protection restriction seemed to have failed, and there was no response to the Yuanli light shield.
As for the city walls of Yunxia City, there is a dense gathering of sand bandits, numbering at least tens of thousands. If it were not for the Yuanli light shield that confuses the sentries at the top of the city, such a large group of sand bandits would have arrived. How could he not be discovered under the city
Among the tens of thousands of sand pirates, the leading team is probably about 3,000 people in size. They are dressed in distinctive black costumes. Their body shape and temperament are different from ordinary sand pirates, and this team More than half of the team are cultivators. Even if the overall cultivation level is not particularly high, their strength is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary teams.
This team is a death squad carefully selected by the Sand Bandits army and prepared to fight against the Yulin army. But it is a pity that during the daytime battle, the "Eight Formations" displayed by the Yulin Army were too magical, rendering this death squad completely useless. And now, this death squad is obviously used as a vanguard force to break into Yunxia City!
