After the shadow guard Feng Xi and intelligence commissioner Li Si made this decision, they felt that a huge rock in their hearts had finally landed.

At least the royal family of Zou State was not completely extinct, and at least the land of Zou State was not completely lost.

The defeat of a war does not necessarily mean that the entire country has become the enemy's land, and everything is still hopeful.

The two of them said they would set off, but when they arrived at the city gate, they found that they were already one step late.

The city gate has been closed. If you want to leave the city, you have to wait until the next day.

The next day, the two of them came to the city gate and saw a group of people eating melons surrounding the public notice board in front of the city gate.

The public notice board is the latest newspaper of Tengguo, which is the official newspaper.

The important news from the Di News today is about Zou State: The king of Zou State and the Immortal World Expeditionary Army fought outside Yingcheng City, and the entire Zou State army was wiped out.

At first glance, there is nothing wrong with this news, but this news does not reveal anything about Teng, Wei and Zhao.

There is only one reasonable explanation, that is, the official newspaper of Tengguo did not report the news of its own country's defeat, and that part of the truth was deliberately concealed and erased.

Next is the second piece of news: the Immortal World Expeditionary Force successively captured several major cities in Zou State and besieged Lingri City, the capital of Zou State. Zou State acted as the king of the former king of Zou State and committed suicide.

Upon hearing this news, Shadow Guards Feng Xi and Li Si felt dark before their eyes, as if the sky suddenly collapsed.

They stood firmly in front of the newspaper, their eyes completely dulled, and they could not recover from their horror for a long time.

For them, the news that the only successor of the Zou royal family was also killed was so disheartening and depressing.

Feng Xi touched Li Si for a long time and said, "Brother Li Si, what should we do now?"

It is obvious that they must not be able to return to Lingri City now. In less than two days, Zou Guo suddenly disappeared from the territory.

This is a country with a history of 700 years.

Li Si showed a firm and determined look, gritted his teeth, and said, "Brother Feng, are you willing to believe me?"

Feng Xi glanced at him and said, "What are you saying? Now there are only two of us left in the Zou Kingdom. Can't we fully trust each other?"

Li Si nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Feng, just believe me, let's go see someone now."

The two of them whispered a few words and walked quickly towards the depths of the streets and alleys.

Behind them, the group of melon-eating people were still muttering, discussing, and giving advice on the country, and seemed to be very capable.

"Oh, have you heard of it?" said a middle-aged uncle wearing a blue square scarf and old men's shoes. "After this time, the Immortal World Expeditionary Force entered Lingri City, it was very orderly, and there was almost no burning, killing and looting. The people were almost completely harmed, so the Immortal World Expeditionary Force was soon accepted by the people of Zou."

"Yes," said another passerby who is similar to that of an uncle: "But you are only half right. Why did the people of Zou accept the Immortal World Expeditionary Force so easily? You should know that many Zou people have deep feelings for the king of Zou, and they will generally resist these invaders. There is another important reason, do you know?"

Did you make it?

Uncle A, the passerby who spoke first, looked excited and asked hurriedly: "What's the reason?"

Passerby Yi shook his head with satisfaction and said, "There is another reason. The Expeditionary Force in the Immortal World spread news that Zou's ** was not killed by their hands. Although they also had certain responsibilities, the main culprit was the treacherous Teng Kingdom, and the cooperating Wei and Zhao Kingdoms."

"The king of Zou died in the chaos and was killed by the soldiers of these countries. Moreover, they defeated Teng and Wei Zhao and avenged the king of Zou. And in Lingri City, they defeated Teng** team again."

"Huh?" Passerby A was surprised in curiosity, and found something was wrong.

The Tengguodi newspaper said that the Immortal World Expeditionary Force besieged Lingri City and eventually occupied the capital of Zou Kingdom.

Passerby B said that the Immortal World Expeditionary Force defeated the Teng* team besieging Lingri City and rescued the siege for Zou State, although in the end it did not save the fate of the poor Zou State acting as the monarch.

There are obvious differences between these two statements, but they are not right. They should be said to be completely different facts.

Passerby A immediately raised his own question: "Lao Wang, is the thing you are talking about reliable? Why is it completely different from the one in the diary?"

Passerby B patted his companion on the shoulder, with a look of brother, you are too young, and sighed: "Brother, don't you know what Dibao is? Isn't it the final word for what to say? Teng's country has the final word for Teng's country, and Teng's country has the statement of Teng's country, and the Immortal World Expeditionary Force has the statement of the Immortal World Expeditionary Force. You have to look at this thing dialectically..."

...

In the border city, the General's Mansion study, Lin Tao squinted his eyes and looked at two strange faces with almost completely different temperaments.

In fact, he is not a strange face. One of them is Li Si, who is Lin Tao's key monitoring target.

Lin Tao sat steadily on the chair, with an old table standing in front of him, and Feng Qiang stood beside him.

Lin Tao crossed his hands, blocked half of his face, stared at the two of them with interest, and said, "I heard that you two have something important to come to me?"

The three words "very important" were deliberately emphasized by Lin Tao, which raised several tones.

The two looked at each other, then nodded seriously, and their eyes fell on Feng Qiang behind Lin Tao, with a hint of hesitation.

"It's best not to let outsiders know about this." Li Si said uncertainly.

Lin Tao looked back at Feng Qiang, and smiled faintly: "There are no outsiders here. If I can't even trust her, then there will be no one here that I can trust."

Feng Qiang looked at Lin Tao gratefully, with a little touch in his eyes.

Lin Tao continued: "Feng Qiang, you'd better go out."

"You!" Feng Qiang's face turned red when he pointed at Lin Tao and couldn't say a word.

Lin Tao waved his hand and said embarrassedly: "Just, joke, don't take it seriously."

Feng Qiang hummed softly, found a seat and sat down, without any intention of going out.

Looking at the tone and attitude of the two people talking, Li Si and Feng Xi stopped hesitating and said, "Commander Lin Tao, we believe you are a smart person and have great ambitions. We can see this from the perspective of your attitude towards the border city."

Lin Tao had a faint smile on his lips, neither affirming nor denying.

Li Si continued: "Commander Lin Tao, because of this, we are not afraid to tell you our identity. I am a spy sent by Lord Zou himself, and the one next to me was the shadow guard around Lord Zou. We both have no identity background in Zou, but one thing is the same. We are both loyal to Zou and have absolutely no two hearts."

"You should know the current situation of Zou State, Commander Lin Tao now, right?" At this point, Li Si deliberately paused for a moment and his eyes fell on Lin Tao's face.

Lin Tao nodded: "Zou Kingdom was killed in battle, the capital was destroyed, and the acting king hanged himself. Zou Kingdom has now died in name only."

Li Si said: "That's true, Commander Lin Tao, please allow me to ask you a few questions. Of course, you can choose not to answer or ignore me, but from a personal point of view, I still look forward to you being able to answer me from a positive perspective."

A complicated look flashed through Lin Tao's eyes, as if he had guessed Li Si's question, and said, "Just ask, as long as I know, I will definitely answer you in the real way."

Li Si lowered his head and pondered for a moment, saying, "Commander Lin Tao, you, no, did you escape from the Immortal World Expeditionary Force? Are you from the same group as the Immortal World Expeditionary Force?"

Hearing these two questions, Lin Tao smiled bitterly.

It's been 19912, so why are there anyone asking such a question?

We are in the same group as the Expeditionary Army in the Immortal Realm. Just kidding, Mei Nanling is determined to kill Lin Tao.

Lin Tao said: "The Immortal World Expeditionary Force came to this world through...somehow. We did go together in the past, but because of the disagreement of ideas, we have already parted ways. As for whether we are in the same group, you can tell if we look at our current situation."

Li Si nodded, expressed his understanding, and then asked: "There is another second question, what is your purpose of occupying the border city, and what are your plans in the future?"

"What is our purpose," Lin Tao pondered for a while and said, "Our purpose is to survive. To be honest, the first month of our visit to this world was spent in the wilderness. That time we almost died outside. So we wanted to enter the border city."

"But, this is actually just one of the reasons. What I want to say next may sound fantasy and a bit fantasy, but since I promise to tell you the truth, I will tell you everything."

"Our past home, the fairy world and the cultivation world were destroyed for some reason. Those companions from my past, those who had lived in that world, were also destroyed. Until later I heard that as long as we master the real world and the secrets here, we can restore our past homeland. From that time on, I decided to fight for this goal."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, he leaned back, his back pressed against the back of the chair and let out a long breath.

"Are you fighting for a goal?" Li Si murmured. This sentence made him suddenly think of the king of Zou, and he seemed to have said the same thing.

Li Si shook his head gently, cheered up again, and asked the last question: "The third question, and the last question, Commander Lin Tao, if you really achieve that goal in the future and become the master of this world, how will you treat these people in this world?"

"How to treat..." Lin Tao lowered his head and thought for a while, and when he raised his head, his eyes were full of firmness: "As it still, I just want to restore our homeland and our hometown, and I also want to find out who is manipulating all this behind the scenes."
