Abandoning my son, I turned around and established the Supreme Immortal Dynasty!

After arriving at Shanming Pass, Xiao Ling did not have any idle time.

There are countless barbarian bandits in the wasteland outside Shanming Pass. This is a good place to earn merit points.

The thousand iron cavalry in his hand had been secretly sent to the wilderness, and under the leadership of two Xiantian realm commanders, they hunted down the barbarian bandits and obtained merit points from them.

In addition, Xiao Ling, as the feudal lord, began to send people to take over some internal affairs in Shanming Pass.

Because Xiao Ling's identity was not yet known, Li Shanyuan did not make any movement, as if he acquiesced to all this.

Three days passed.

In addition to the military affairs of Shanming Pass, Xiao Ling basically dispatched available manpower to take over all internal affairs in the city.

Because the border land was bitterly cold and the people lived in poverty, Xiao Ling even opened the granary in the city as Pinghou and made charitable donations to the people.

With this operation, he also won the support of countless people in the city.

At the same time, in addition to Shanmingcheng Pass, the thousand cavalry sent to the wasteland also gained a lot.

In just three days, nearly thousands of barbarian bandits were strangled by a thousand cavalry in the wasteland, and as a result, they successfully obtained nearly [-] merit points.

Inside Pinghou Mansion.

Xiao Ling looked at the existing merit points of more than [-] points, and felt anxious and expectant in his heart.

Judging from the current situation, he urgently needs strong men in the army to enhance his own strength.

After all, Yang Zaixing and the thousand cavalry alone were not enough.

"System, perform a silver summons!"

[Merit value -1000! 】

[Congratulations to the host, the summoning was successful and you got: five thousand light cavalry! (A ninth-grade warrior is in charge, and the remaining sergeants are all second-grade warriors)]

"Five thousand Qingqi!"

Xiao Ling was overjoyed.

This system is indeed powerful. What I am currently lacking is the army.

With these five thousand light cavalry, this will undoubtedly greatly improve the problem of the lack of troops.

Although the individual strength of these five thousand light cavalry is much lower than that of Yang Zaixing and the thousand iron cavalry under his command, compared with the ordinary sergeants in Shanming Pass, the overall strength is still much stronger.

"System, continue the silver summons!"

[Merit value: -1000!]

[Congratulations to the host, the summoning was successful, and the character obtained: Wu Santong]

"Wu Santong?"

Listening to this name, Xiao Ling felt a little familiar, but not too clear.

[Host, do you want to summon Five Thousand Qingqi and Wu Santong? 】

"Summon Wu Santong."

Xiao Ling replied directly.

Judging from the current situation, once these five thousand light cavalry are summoned, not to mention whether they will arouse suspicion, the daily consumption of food and grass alone is an extremely huge amount.

With this light cavalry force of [-] people, it will even be able to produce a surprise effect when the time comes to fight with Li Shanyuan.

next moment.

In the courtyard, a figure suddenly rushed out and came directly to Xiao Ling not far away.

"My subordinate Wu Santong, come and see the Marquis!"

The person who came was none other than Wu Santong, who had just been summoned through merit points.

at the same time.

The moment Wu Santong appeared, Yang Zaixing rushed out of the courtyard and came to Xiao Ling as quickly as possible to guard him.

"It doesn't matter, we are one of our own."

When Xiao Ling saw this, he waved his hand to tell Yang Zaixing not to worry.

Looking at Wu Santong in front of him, all the information about his identity was revealed.

The Wu Santong in front of him was wearing a plain robe. Although his face looked ordinary, his strength was not bad at all.

[Name: Wu Santong]

[Realm: Seventh Stage of Xiantian Realm]

[Identity: Martial arts character, the third disciple of Nandi Master Yideng, formerly the general manager of the Dali Imperial Forest Army. He is good at the unique skill of one yang finger. He can leave with one hit and retreat together. It is a powerful move to defeat the enemy and protect himself. 】

"He is actually a disciple of Master Yideng!"

After learning Wu Santong's identity through the system, Xiao Ling became very interested in Wu Santong.

This kind of master was an extremely top figure in the martial arts novels of the previous life. He was one of the "Five Wonders in the World" and was known as the Southern Emperor.

At the same time, he was increasingly looking forward to it. Since he could summon martial arts characters, it would be possible for the top martial arts characters he knew, such as Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue, to summon them to serve him.

Xiao Ling looked at Wu Santong: "Get up."

"You follow me and temporarily protect my safety."

With the strength of Wu Santong, who is at the seventh level of Xiantian Realm, it is definitely enough to protect his own safety in Shanming Pass.

And with the other party's protection, Yang Zaixing, a top general, can also serve as a commander in the army and maximize his role.

"Subordinates obey!"

Wu Santong bowed to accept the order, then respectfully stepped back to Xiao Ling's side.

......

Time passed little by little.

After a brief lull, two days later, there was finally new news from Li Shanyuan.

From the General's Mansion, a letter was delivered to Xiao Ling.

Looking at the invitation in his hand, Xiao Ling was a little surprised: "Interesting, Li Shanyuan still wants to help himself?"

He didn't think Li Shanyuan was really that kind. The reason why the other party was like this must have other purposes.

"My lord, according to the Jinyi Guards' investigation, Li Shan has been mobilizing his troops frequently recently. In addition to the troops in the city, some troops and horses in several cities under his jurisdiction are also quietly breaking out of camp and stationed only a few dozen meters away from Shanmingguan City. Places inside and out.”

Zhang Guang, a member of the Jinyiwei family, thought for a while and said: "From my subordinates' point of view, this must be the Hongmen Banquet. I hope my lord will be careful and never take any risks."

"This is definitely the Hongmen Banquet, but I can use this Hongmen Banquet to counterattack an army."

Xiao Ling held the letter in her hand, but a faint smile appeared on her face.

According to what was said in the invitation letter, Li Shanyuan had invited countless well-known people in Shanming Pass, and presumably all of his confidants were also present, which made it easier for him to catch them all.

Sending tens of thousands of troops must be because he was afraid of Yang Zaixing who was guarding him.

Although this innate realm is strong, one does not dare to fall deeply into it when facing an army of tens of thousands. After all, there is considerable danger once it is dragged to the point of exhaustion.

Pity.

The other party's idea is good, but he doesn't only have such a few people in his hands. It is futile to use tens of thousands of troops to deal with him.

Xiao Ling ordered Zhang Guang: "You immediately send the Jin Yiwei to contact Yang Zaixing and order him to lead a thousand cavalry to ambush nearby and wait for my order at any time."

"As ordered!"

Zhang Guang took the order and left quickly.

Afterwards, Xiao Ling called Liu An again.

"Liu An."

"Subordinates are here!"

When he heard Xiao Ling summoning him to come, Liu An immediately bowed and waited.

Looking at Liu An, he had been placed in the Hou Mansion since he entered Shanming Pass, and he acted more as a housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.

During this period of time, Liu An's loyalty to him was beyond doubt.

A finely crafted jade talisman appeared in Xiao Ling's hand.

"I have secretly dispatched a cavalry team to lurk in Xifeng Forest, which is more than forty miles outside Shanming City. Go there and wait until I release the fireworks in Shanming Pass as a signal, then I will immediately crush the jade talisman. , the cavalry will appear naturally."

"When the time comes, please hand this letter to the cavalry commander, and he will act as ordered."
