On that day, a feather book flew to the north, carrying the only hope of King Lan Ji and the only hope of the Tianji Empire. It seemed that it was destined in the dark. Only by cooperating with the Bai Ze mercenary group could the Tianji Empire be rescued. Fortunately, the real owner of the Bai Ze mercenary was Sikong Yao. As a member of the Tianji Empire, she should be helpful.

...

On November 24, the road was blocked with heavy snow, but the group of people were still coming in the flying goose feathers and heavy snow. About twenty people were riding on good horses from the Black Stone Empire. The horseshoes were standard horses from the Tianji Empire army. The knight walking in the front was graceful. Although he was wearing a thick leather robe, he could still tell that he was a graceful woman.

In the heavy snow, several people raised torches on the official road, and one of the guards shouted: "Is it Miss Shang Qian?"

"It's me."

The woman lifted her cloak, and her delicate face was very bright under the torch, but her eyes were a little red and swollen, which was obviously excessive. After all, her grandfather Zhang Sheng was the head of the family, and the backbone of the entire family. Zhang Sheng's death in battle was a big blow to Shang Qian, just like the sky fell.

The guard said in a deep voice: "You are finally here... Your Highness Lan Ji is waiting for you in the inn. You will rest for a night tonight and set off for Demon Claw County tomorrow. You will be able to see Miss Sikong Yao before dark."

"A Yao...has she been here for half a year?"

"Yes, Miss Shang Qian, please follow me to see Your Highness now."

"Um."

Although the inn was still cold, it was much better than in the wind and snow. Shang Qian took her entourage into the inn and immediately took off her snow-covered robe. The waiter in the inn quickly took a new leather robe for her. The merchant lady surrounded her and entered the reception room of the inn.

"See Your Highness Lan Ji." Shang Qian gave a ladylike gift.

King Lan Ji sat by the brazier, stood up and smiled, "Thank you Miss Shang Qian, come here to warm up your body. The weather is so cold that I have ordered the inn to prepare wine and food, and I will be able to eat warm dishes soon."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Shang Qian walked up and sat down in the chair opposite King Lan Ji, her eyes slightly rosy, and said, "Your Highness, are you calling me here just to convince A Yao?"

"That's right." King Lan Ji said: "Since Miss Sikong Yao can gain a foothold in the Demon Clever Peaks and have nearly 200,000 people, it means that she has a great ambition. My Beiming family has a weak face, so I may have to ask Miss Shang Qian to convince Sikong Yao."

"But...will it be more convenient if you talk to Sect Master Sikongming?"

"Miss Shang Qian." King Lan Ji said seriously: "The evil thieves of the Tianjue Empire invaded my borders, killed my generals, and seized my city. Isn't every citizen of the Tianji Empire supposed to serve the country? Everyone knows Sikong Yao's temperament. She has always been soft but not hard. I believe that no one in this world can talk to her except you, let alone... your grandfather, General Zhang Sheng, he..."

"Stop talking."

Although Shang Qian sat there, her body trembled slightly, and tears circulated in her eyes: "Grandpa is loyal to the country, I am proud of him, please don't say anything more."

"..." King Lan Ji was silent for a few seconds, clasped his fists to the sky: "The sky is shining, the earth is long, the old general Zhang Sheng is loyal and hero, the world is understandable. Not only are you proud of him, but all the people in the Tianji Empire are proud of him. Therefore, this time we must convince Sikong Yao to send troops. Only when Sikong Yao sends troops can we have a chance of victory and revenge the jackals of the Tianjue Empire."

"Your Highness need not be said. Since I come, I will definitely try my best to convince A Yao tomorrow."

"Well, thank you Miss Shang Qian for understanding the righteousness."

Everyone remained silent. After dinner, they went back to their room to rest. In fact, everyone had a bright light in their hearts, and they knew what they should do without saying anything.

...

The next day, the heavy snow stopped and set off in the early morning until the sun set. In the distance, a towering city stood against the mountain. The county city of the Magic Claw County was a strong city closest to the Magic Claw Peak, so it became the new nest of the Baize mercenaries.

Everyone was intercepted five miles away from the city. They were a group of cavalry in white robes, about a hundred people. Each of them wore a badge embroidered with a white divine beast pattern on their shoulders, which was also the mark of Bai Ze mercenary.

"Who dares to trek into the Baize mercenary station." The centurion drew out his sharp sword, and the blade shone with the golden light of the setting sun.

King Lan Ji frowned. The strength of this centurion had reached the realm of the heavenly realm. The horses of this group of cavalry were obviously endurance and very strong, each cavalry was wearing more than fifty kilograms of iron armor, and even there were armor on both sides of the war horses. A thick round shield was hung on one side of the horse's back. This made King Lan Ji couldn't help but think of a word: heavy cavalry.

That's right, these hundred people are heavy cavalry.

King Lan Ji couldn't help but take a breath of air. The financial resources of Bai Ze mercenaries can be seen from this. There are not many troops in the entire Tianji Continent that can be equipped with such complete heavy cavalry. Even the main legion of Lan Ji Corps and Yan Ji Corps has only a maximum of 10,000 or 20,000 heavy cavalry, but what qualifications does this Bai Ze mercenary have to have heavy cavalry?

The heavy cavalry, the ace of plain battles, are not afraid of the penetration of bows and arrows, and it seems that hope is really there.

So, King Lan Ji clasped his fists and said, "I am the left king of Tianji Empire, King Lan Ji, this is the eldest lady of the merchant Shang Qian, a friend of Miss Sikong Yao, the leader of Bai Ze mercenary. I will come to see Miss Sikong Yao, please take us there."

"You are Miss Shang Qian." The centurion was stunned, then raised his long sword and fist and said, "Please follow me. The eldest lady is in the city. She said that there are two people who come to ask for a meeting without reporting to see her directly. Miss Shang Qian is one of them."

"Thank you."

Shang Qian squeezed out a smile and rode her horse to the Demon Claw County with a group of heavy cavalry. Then she asked unwillingly: "This general, who is the other person?"

The centurion smiled: "The King of Qin who used to break the tripod world, now the marshal of the Great Qin Empire, Lord Lin Muyu."

"Lin Muyu..."

Shang Qian pursed her red lips, and couldn't help feeling lost in her heart. Lin Muyu's heroic figure appeared in her mind. Yes, it was that person who defeated Bei Minghuan and Baili Qin in the Shattered Ding Realm, and it was this person who caused the entire Tianji Continent to fall into a chaotic situation.

Shang Qian regretted it a little. If she had taken the initiative at the beginning, she might have been able to keep this person.

But she smiled and said, how could that kind of rebellious hero stop for a woman? I'm afraid it won't be.

Entering the Demon Claw County, Baize mercenaries, heavy cavalry, cavalry archers, spearmen, heavy shield soldiers, sword soldiers, etc. can be seen everywhere in this county. The difference is clear and the formation is strict. What kind of mercenaries are there? They are much more elite than regular legions.

King Lan Ji looked as he walked, and he became more and more heartbroken. A mere mercenary group could have such combat power. It seems that the era of the Tianji Empire is indeed about to pass. If you don’t seek flexibility, you will probably be replaced in the end.

He clenched his fists and suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart. No matter whether the Bai Ze mercenaries could send troops or not, as long as they defeated the Tianjue Empire, the Bai Ze mercenaries would definitely not be able to keep them, otherwise it would be a big trouble for the Tianji Empire.

...

"Please come in."

There is also a city gate in the city. After King Lan Ji, Shang Qian and others passed through two city gates in succession, they finally arrived at the so-called General's Mansion, the core area of ​​Bai Ze mercenaries.

In front of the general's mansion, the two giant beasts were carved in life, as if they were about to break out of stones and devour everything at any time. They were extremely majestic, and the sword-bearing guards on both sides were all wearing armor and looking straight. The Bai Ze mercenaries' military rules were even far more strict than Yan Ji's regiment.

"Is this A Yao's masterpiece in the past six months?" Shang Qian said to herself, a little unbelievable.

But at this moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the end of the steps of the General's Mansion. It was Sikong Yao in military uniform, wearing soft leather armor, outlining her exquisite figure so charmingly. When she saw Shang Qian, she immediately smiled, like a mountain flower: "Sister Shang Qian, why are you here?"

Shang Qian smiled and walked forward and hugged Sikong Yao.

However, King Lan Ji, the left king, was neglected and was not treated until he entered the meeting hall of the General's Mansion. Perhaps it was not considered a visit at all, because the seemingly inconspicuous Liu Buyi seemed to not take him seriously at all.

"Cough cough..." King Lan Ji couldn't help coughing twice.

Shang Qian then said, "A Yao, Buyi, this is King Lan Ji, His Highness the Left King of Tianji Empire. Come with me this time to discuss the matter of the alliance with you."

"Covenant." Sikong Yao opened her eyes wide.

"Yes." Shang Qian's eyes turned red and she said, "The Tianjue Empire invaded, and her grandfather unfortunately died in battle and had sacrificed his life for the country... The 900,000 troops of the Tianjue Empire have entered the plains west of Buguilin, and will attack Dongning City soon. Once they attack Dongning City, I am afraid... I am afraid the imperial capital will be in danger..."

"Sister Shang Qian, don't be anxious first." Sikong Yao comforted: "A person cannot be resurrected after death. Grandpa Zhang Sheng's life is a hero. Perhaps blood stains the battlefield, killing generals and killing enemies is the destination he wants."

"Maybe..."

Shang Qian red eyes and said, "A Yao, you are a citizen of the Tianji Empire and the granddaughter of the old master Sikong. The Tianji Empire is your motherland and your hometown... I beg you to send troops. Only by defeating the army of the Tianjue Empire can you save your home and avenge my grandfather."

"I know." Sikong Yao bit her red lips and said, "But the matter of sending troops is very important. I still need to discuss with the general and the public. This matter..."

Seeing her hesitation, King Lan Ji said anxiously: "Miss Sikong Yao, please be sure to send troops. You are now the only hope of the Tianji Empire. If you don't send troops, the Tianji Empire will probably fall apart soon and become the meat in the meal of the Tianjue Empire."

Liu Buyi raised his sword eyebrows and said, "The Tianji Empire returns to the Tianji Empire, and the Baize mercenaries belong to the Baize mercenaries. We are not a family. I care whether you have meat in the meal or lunch meat. Whether the Tianji Empire is destroyed or not, what does it have to do with my Baize mercenaries."

The Tianji Empire used 400,000 troops to attack and smash the tripod world, making Lin Muyu miserable. Liu Buyi regarded Lin Muyu as a brother, so he naturally hated the Tianji Empire.

As soon as the commander Liu Buyi spoke, a group of fierce commanders said together: "That's right, whether the Tianji Empire dies or not depends on us. To put it so nicely, when did the Tianji Empire treat Miss Sikong Yao well? Why didn't we see that the emperor enthroned the eldest daughter as the prince Dangdang?"
