"Everything is quiet."

Bei Mingyuan sat on the throne, listening to the comments of the ministers, he couldn't help but feel upset. Zhang Sheng and Bei Minghuan were his right-hand men. Now both of them have died in battle. The Tianji Empire is no longer the strongest empire on the Tianji Continent. The rivers are falling, and they have become the weakest one.

"Let's discuss, what should the empire do now?" Bei Mingyuan looked at everyone coldly and said, "The Tianjue Empire is coming in full force. The Yanji Corps on the eastern border have been defeated. The old general Zhang Sheng has been loyal and wise for the country. Who is willing to lead troops to fight against the enemy of the Tianjue Empire?"

The ministers were silent, and a group of generals looked at the ground. Who would dare to fight against the Tianjue Empire now? You should know that the Tianjue Empire is said to have 1.5 million troops, plus 400 dragon knights, who can beat it? The most important thing is that the Tianji Empire launched an expedition to the Shattered Cauldron Realm, which consumed a lot of national strength. Not to mention the death of 400,000 troops in battle, the national treasury also consumed most of the money and food in the treasury. With the new defeat of the Yanji Corps, the Tianji Empire now has no more than 400,000 troops, and what can it do to resist the Tianjue Empire with a force of 1.5 million.

After a while, a veteran finally bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Midye has led nearly 50,000 troops to station troops in Lingyuan County. At this moment, he should have started a war with the Tianjue Empire. With the ability of Lord Midye Hui Angel, it is probably not so easy for the Tianjue Empire to capture Lingyuan County. What's more... Chen Yu's son will definitely be afraid of the identity of Angel Hui. After all, being an enemy of heaven is not an easy thing."

"Midnight..."

Bei Mingyuan sneered: "King Lan Ji, don't forget that Midye is a angel of the brightness and the god of the Western Heaven. The entire Tianji Continent is a treasure in the Western Heaven. Do you think Midye will be enemies of the stronger Tianjue Empire to help us?"

King Lan Ji was stunned: "Your Majesty means...Mr. Mid-ye will not help anyone."

"That's right."

Bei Mingyuan said lightly: "Minye's mission to the human world is to help the Tianji Continent destroy the Broken Ding Realm. Do you think he will participate in the war within the Tianji Continent? I think...Minye's position must be to let us speak up and attack the Broken Ding Realm together, but this is absolutely impossible. Chen Yu's son's wolfish ambitions and his desire to destroy me is already very obvious."

King Lan Ji said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, I suggest sending someone to envoy the Black Stone Empire. Now, only by joining forces with the Black Stone Empire can we fight against the powerful Tianjue Empire."

"I'm just thinking."

Bei Mingyuan held the handle of the sword in his hand and said, "It's just... I don't know who is better to send to the Blackstone Empire."

"I am willing to go." King Lan Ji said in a deep voice.

"Okay, please make an appointment, and you will set off today."

As he said that, Bei Mingyuan paused again: "There is another big thing. Now the empire Shangyu Lanji Corps, Yanji Corps and local provincial garrison troops have a total of nearly 700,000 troops. Who will control it? If we don't resist, Chen Yu's son will probably sweep the entire territory of our empire in one month."

King Lan Ji clasped his fists and said, "I recommend one person and I will be able to take on a great task."

"explain."

"Bong Shangming."

"Bong Shangming." Bei Mingyuan narrowed his eyes: "But in the Battle of the Broken Ding Realm, Gong Shangming's strategy was not above Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing and others. It was his improper command that led to the failure of the army and ultimately failed. Do you want me to continue to reuse this person?"

King Lan Ji smiled slightly: "Your Majesty has nothing to know. Although Gong Shangming is well-versed in the Battle of the Shattered Ding Realm, he was controlled by Midnight, Marshal Bei Minghuan and others. He did not have complete decision-making power, so he was defeated. What's more, the Shattered Ding Realm has been fighting for years. Lin Muyu, Feng Jixing, Xu Jiantao and others are famous generals, one by one. Gong Shangming is defeated by these people, but he may not be defeated by the generals of the Tianjue Empire. Your Majesty, don't forget that the Tianjue Empire is like us. It has not had any wars for many years and is impetuous. Gong Shangming's defeat in the Shattered Ding Realm is his capital. Knowing shame will only be brave. If Your Majesty a Confucian general like Gong Shangming is the marshal, the Tianjue Empire will inevitably despise us. In this way, the chance of victory of the Tianjue Empire will naturally appear."

Bei Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh knowingly: "What King Lan Ji said is very... Come on, Quick Horse recalls Gong Shangming."

...

On November 10, heavy snow, Gong Shangming worshipped the general in Tianji City and officially became the new marshal of the Tianji Empire.

On November 11, the army of the Tianjue Empire encountered Miya's troops in Lingyuan County. Just as Bei Mingyuan expected, Miya remained neutral and did not make enemies with either side. Instead, he advised Chen Yu to stop his troops and make peace, but Chen Yu refused.

On November 15, Prince Lan Ji personally led his troops to Qianshan City, the capital of the Blackstone Empire, and was personally received by Emperor Shi Yuan.

...

In the main hall, drums and music were sounding. Although the Blackstone Empire had experienced wars, the imperial capital Qianshan City still had a scene of singing and dancing in peace. This was probably Shi Yuan's strategy to govern the country.

You must be happy when you are in a happy life, and don’t let the golden cup face the moon empty.

Even, King Lan Ji could not feel that the Black Stone Empire was experiencing war, and couldn't help frowning, feeling that this ally seemed very unreliable.

As an envoy, King Lan Ji was arranged to be in the seats very close to Shi Yuan. Two beauties were accompanied by, and they were beauties in elegant long skirts. They were very gentle. However, King Lan Ji was all about the covenant, so he would not care about these beauties, let alone as a prince, he had never lacked women.

"Your Majesty Bei Mingyuan's body is safe recently." Shi Yuan asked with a smile, narrowed his eyes and smiled.

King Lan Ji hurriedly raised his glass: "Everything is fine, thank you for your concern."

"That's good."

Shi Yuan drank it all and said, "The Tianjue Empire is coming in full force. I have heard the bad news of General Zhang Sheng's death in battle. I would rather die than surrender than surrender. I am really a famous general."

"Thank you for your praise."

Shi Yuan continued: "Chen Yu's son is a wolf-like man, and his troops are divided into two groups. One of them never returns to Lin to attack the Tianji Empire. There are a total of one million troops. The other is in the Jinyun Pass confronting the army of our Blackstone Empire. There are about 500,000 troops, and 500,000 strong enemies are eyeing them outside the pass. How can our Blackstone Empire not be guarded? Therefore, almost all of our 200,000 Fierce Wind Legion and the newly trained 200,000 Guard Army are arranged in the Jinyun Pass area, and they have no time to care about the war on the territory of the Tianji Empire."

King Lan Ji frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you should also know that once the Tianji Empire is destroyed, the next one will inevitably be the Blackstone Empire. Chen Yu's purpose is to unify the entire continent, not just a Tianji Empire."

"I naturally know." Shi Yuan pondered and said, "But there are no soldiers in the country. I should have seen it on the way to come. Qianshan City is the capital, but its troops are less than 10,000. At this time, I am even more worried that Chen Yu's son would send a cavalry south to Qianshan City, and my nest may not be protected..."

Shi Yuan laughed out loud.

King Lan Ji had a desire to die. He really didn't know that the people in the Black Stone Empire were all crazy or skilled and brave. He had to laugh dryly and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he will definitely not be attacked by Chen Yu's son. I am very relieved about this. However... Since your country has decided to form an alliance with our country, can't we really send out any troops?"

"It really can't."

Shi Yuan shook his head: "I am really powerless... But I have a way to solve the danger of Tianji Empire."

"Oh, please tell me."

"Does Your Highness Lan Ji know about the Baize Mercenary Group?"

"This... I heard a little bit. In the past six months, there have been legends about the elusiveness of Bai Ze mercenaries everywhere. It is said that the leader of this mercenary group is a concubine named Liu Buyi. Pingping has nearly 100,000 mercenaries, and is well-equipped, comparable to any regular corps of empires on the mainland."

Shi Yuan smiled faintly: "In fact, it's not 100,000 people, it's 180,000 people."

"What."

King Lan Ji was shocked: "A mere mercenary group can have 180,000 people. This... they don't have taxes and other income, so how do they support these 180,000 people?"

"Your Highness doesn't know that the Baize mercenary has occupied 7 of my county cities." Shi Yuan slapped the table and said, "If it weren't for being distracted, I would definitely lead the army to personally destroy them."

King Lan Ji was ashamed: "Then... Your Majesty, what is the deep meaning of mentioning this Bai Ze mercenary to me?"

Shi Yuan smiled: "Your Highness Lan Ji doesn't know that the Bai Ze mercenary is really not Liu Buyi. Liu Buyi's scheming and scheming are far from being able to create such a powerful mercenary group."

"Who is that?"

"Sikong Yao."

"What." King Lan Ji sat upright in shock: "This... how is this possible? Is Sikong Yao not the granddaughter of Sikong Ming Sect Master? She... how could she be the real master of Bai Ze mercenary?"

"But that's the truth." Shi Yuan said: "I have already pointed out the way to Your Highness. If Your Highness can invite Bai Ze mercenaries to join the war, these 180,000 elite troops will go north and attack the enemy with your country's main force north and south. Even Chen Yu has a million troops, it will be defeated. Moreover, Sikong Yao is from your country. She has a friend named Shang Qian. This grandfather of Shang Qian is the veteran general Zhang Sheng who died in battle. If Lan Ji and Wang Yushu invite Miss Shang Qian to the Bai Ze mercenary's garrison to personally invite Sikong Yao to help the war, great things will be expected."

King Lan Ji's thoughts were a little confused.

"Do you have to wait any longer?" Shi Yuan laughed: "Come here, give Your Highness Lan Ji a clearance token so that he can travel freely within the Black Stone Empire."

King Lan Ji finally couldn't sit still and stood up and said, "No need to delay, the reinforcements are like putting out fires. Xiao Wang sued him first. Thank you for your advice."

"Then... I won't send you to Your Highness."

"Retreat."

...

King Lan Ji left with the man.

After watching King Lan Ji leave, an old civil servant immediately laughed and said, "Your Majesty is wise and powerful. In this way, not only will he send King Lan Ji, but if he can really invite Sikong Yao, then we can also drive away the plague god Bai Ze mercenary, one stone, with one stone, that would be great."
