"Your father told you personally," Prime Minister Jiang Hua was confused, but he had already believed it in his heart. Young Master Void would not tell lies, especially in such occasions, otherwise he would lose more.

Moreover, he looked so mysterious and sickly that he didn't look like a lie.

Young Master Void nodded with a smile and repeated: "My father had expected Lin Tao to come to ask for help, so before I set off, I told me in person that I would tell you this to the Lord of Teng Country."

As he said that, he turned around and bowed gently to the king of Teng Kingdom, with elegant movements and said, "Your Majesty, I'm just saying this now, it's not too late, right?"

"Haha," Lord Tengguo smiled, with a hint of wrinkles appearing at the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's not too late, no matter how late it is. As long as Chu's attitude is neutral, we can safely deal with Lin Tao's."

Young Master Void narrowed his eyes, looked lazy, and slowly returned to his previous position, saying, "Your Majesty, I have solved Lin Tao's group of miscellaneous fish, what are you going to do later?"

The king of Teng Kingdom couldn't help but say, "Young Master, you came to our Teng Kingdom thousands of miles away for this reason? Now, Zou Kingdom has been completely occupied by the Immortal World Expeditionary Force. With the national strength of Zou Kingdom, it is just around the corner to arm 50,000 soldiers from the Immortal World Expeditionary Force."

"Once they are ready, the next target must be our Teng Kingdom," said the king of Teng Kingdom, and he said: "Young Master, Teng Kingdom has reached the critical moment of life and death. This time, you will help us no matter what."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty," Young Master Void smiled indifferently, gave him a comforting look, and said, "As Your Majesty said, I came here for this matter."

...

Tengguo, border city.

Lin Tao and Feng Qiang sat in a corner of the window next to the teahouse, drinking tea quietly, and listening quietly to the people outside the window whispering.

They had no idea that the lord of the border city is in the teahouse now, otherwise they would not dare to say such things if they had lent them a hundred courage.

The passerby looked around with a slashing eyebrows and said, "Oh, Lao Li, the army of Teng Kingdom is going to attack us!"

"Attack us," Old Li Wumi said three times, drank some wine, and said in a daze: "Aren't we just Tengguo? What are they attacking themselves?"

Passerby A sighed and cursed, saying, "Damn it, you're stupid to drink. We were originally Tengguo, but later we were occupied. We are no longer Tengguo."

Lao Li thought for a while without saying a word, and it seemed like this was the case, so he asked, "Well, Lao Zheng, what does Tengguo attack have to do with us? Anyway, no one pays so much taxes?"

Passerby Lao Zheng sneered, "Pa", Lao Li's head was hit.

"Why are you hitting me? You're crazy!" Old Li complained, loving, rubbing his head.

Passerby Lao Zheng lowered his voice and said carefully: "Old Li, you don't know. Tengguo plans to massacre the city after conquering this place."

"Tucheng," Lao Li was confused and looked confused. Why hadn't he heard of this before? "What to use for paint, paint or paste?"

Lao Zheng sighed, "Oh," he said to himself, "Because the king of Teng Country complained that we had surrendered to Commander Lin Tao and did not resist at all, we vented our anger. Haha, it's a joke. What are we unarmed people resisting?"

Lin Tao sat at the window, looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, looking at Feng Qiang, his eyes full of sorrow and helplessness.

Feng Qiang held Lin Tao's hand and comforted her softly, "Lin Tao, don't listen to their nonsense. What can I believe in the words of the two drunk people?"

Lin Tao smiled bitterly and said, "Now we can't numb ourselves anymore, we must face up to the problems in front of us."

Feng Qiang knew that this was for her to hear, and her face turned red immediately.

Lin Tao waved his hand and said, "At present, thousands of troops in Teng Country are eyeing us, and the messengers we sent out and the messages sent back are not good for us."

Just that morning, the messengers sent by Lin Tao came back one after another.

The envoys of Wei and Zhao came back a little later, while the Chu was the farthest, but the earliest one came back.

Lin Tao asked them in detail the reason and found out that the envoy of Teng State arrived at Wei and Zhao State one step ahead of them.

They asked the king of Wei and Zhao to kill two envoys immediately, and both of them thought that this would damage their reputation, so they did not agree.

As the saying goes, when two countries fight, they will not kill the envoys.

If you really do this, who will serve as an envoy for you after it is spread?

But the State of Wei and Zhao also adopted a compromise method, just to put it simply, and to give it a word.

"The kings of Wei and Zhao must keep us so that we cannot come back to deliver letters immediately." The envoy escaped from Hukou. After returning, he said to Lin Tao: "They under house arrest. We tried our best to escape secretly, so we came back a little late."

As for the envoy sent to Chu, the Chu king gave a very straightforward answer, "No."

The envoy stated his pros and cons, and with his perfect words, he successfully persuaded the Chu king to drive him out of the capital.

Then, there is nothing...

Three news came one after another, and Lin Tao had to come to this teahouse with Feng Qiang to listen to some information about the enemy country.

Regarding the news about the massacre of the city that Lao Li and Lao Zheng said, Lin Tao was almost 90% sure, and it was definitely spread by the spy of the Teng Kingdom's king lurking in the city.

The purpose is also very clear, which is to cause huge panic in the city, which will cause more interference to Lin Tao.

"No." Lin Tao slapped the table, stood up suddenly, and said.

Feng Qiang looked at Lin Tao in confusion and asked, "What can't you do?"

Lin Tao's eyes became firm and said, "We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to take a little counterattack."

The two returned to the general's mansion, and Lin Tao immediately summoned all his confidants.

For a time, the lobby of the General's Mansion was full of talents. Feng Qiang, Xiao Zhan, Long Bo, Ma Long, Su Qingzhou, and all the disciples of Qingcheng Sect gathered in the lobby of the General's Mansion.

Lin Tao stood up, his voice spread in the lobby, and said, "The purpose of calling everyone this time is to inform everyone about something."

"The army of thousands of people in Teng Country is attacking us, and this city may not be able to be defended."

Long Bo frowned in confusion and said, "We still have two hundred hostages in our hands, including the son of Prime Minister Teng. Are they not afraid of us executing the hostages?"

Lin Tao nodded and said, "They must have considered this issue, and their conclusion was that they would rather sacrifice the two hundred hostages in our hands than let us occupy the border city smoothly."

"After all, with the lives of these two hundred hostages, their face and dignity are more important."

After pausing for a while, Lin Tao said, "I am summoning everyone this time to announce something. We have no way to defend this city. Now we can only abandon the city and escape. Before the enemy has chased us, abandon the city and escape."

Lin Tao emphasized again in an emphasis.

Everyone was silent and their expressions were very dull. This was the city they had finally obtained after a lifetime of death.

Now I give up like this, and I don’t even fight for it, so I give up?

But then again, just with these thirty or forty people, how could they compete with the army of thousands?

Lin Tao glanced around and saw the unwillingness in everyone's eyes. He comforted him: "No need to do this, it's just a city. We will always gain a foothold in the future. Moreover, in places like Tengguo, there are strong enemies on all sides, and it will be difficult for us to take root again after all."

After Lin Tao finished speaking, a voice immediately sounded in the lobby, saying, "Brother Lin Tao, we have given up on the border city. What should we do next? Where can we gain a foothold?"

Lin Tao looked at it in the voice, and Ma Long was standing in the crowd and slowly stood up.

Now, Ma Long is a member of Lin Tao's team.

In the past, Ma Long was the senior brother of many disciples of Qingcheng Sect present, so it was necessary for him to find out whether his disciples could get a good destination.

Lin Tao nodded and said, "I have considered this issue a long time ago. I must not let everyone live a wandering life like this with me."

Lin Tao found a map. This map was the entire Zou Kingdom handed over to Lin Tao by the Lord of Zou Kingdom. In addition to the entire Zou Kingdom, some countries and terrain next to the real world are also marked on the map, but there are only rough information.

Lin Tao spread the map on the table, "Everyone comes around to take a look," everyone came closer to the table, looking at the map with a long eye, their eyes full of confusion.

Lin Tao pointed to one of the areas and said, "We are here now. You can see the environment here. There are Teng Kingdom, the Immortal World Expeditionary Force, Wei Kingdom, Zhao Kingdom and Chu Kingdom. It is difficult for us to gain a foothold here. But everyone can see here..."

As he said that, Lin Tao's finger slid to the side, slid towards a border area far away from several major powers, and said, "There are almost no major powers around here, no, it should be said that there are not even a small country. But there are several cities for free trade, and these cities are independent of each other. In other words, even if we occupy one of the cities, we will not be able to face such a large-scale counterattack. This is our ideal place to go."

After hearing this, Ma Long and everyone agreed with Lin Tao’s thoughts, with a relaxed expression on their faces.

Lin Tao's expression froze, his voice became serious, and he said, "But, everyone doesn't have to be too happy too early. We will still need to solve many difficulties when we arrive here."
