Life Hunter

"I'm not afraid of fighting, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to defeat him. When the time comes, it won't just be a matter of embarrassment."

"Master Li, who do you think will win in the end?"

Everyone looked at Li Qingxian.

Some old officials were thoughtful, and some people present asked Li Qingxian. There was no malice, but it was more or less intended to be a test.

Anyone who can sit on the red sandalwood Grand Master's chair must have been killed out of the crowd.

Li Qingxian's credit is there, but his qualifications are still far behind.

After all, it’s only level six.

Li Qingxian thought for a while and said slowly: "I have talked with Meng Huaichuan and others about things in the south. However, as the old saying goes, I have not experienced it, so I can't draw conclusions. I can only put forward some possibilities. In the past, I also thought that Dongding The country is vulnerable. After all, decades ago, our Qi State often showed off its power on the Xia River of the Dongding Kingdom. In order to test and suppress the Dongding Kingdom, it even sent people to kill their special envoys in Junlan Kingdom. What was the result? They They can only knock out their teeth and swallow them into their stomachs. However, have you noticed that in the past few years, not only have their teeth not been swallowed into their stomachs, they have even started to stop losing their teeth..."

Everyone nodded.

Li Qingxian said: "Not only that, a few years ago, our Qi State didn't care about Dongding Kingdom, but in recent years, many people want to restrict Dongding Kingdom, so they came up with the crazy king's countermeasures. But in the end, you all also See, Dongding Kingdom is still developing steadily. Coupled with other information, we can infer that Dongding Kingdom is indeed very powerful, so powerful that Qi State cannot ignore it. No one objects to this, right?"

Everyone nodded slightly.

"I once communicated with my father, and also with..." Li Qingxian paused, his eyes dimmed, and then said: "Uncle Zhou talked about it. The root cause of any country's ultimate failure is that there are big internal problems. Now Dongding's domestic We cannot say that there is no problem, there are many problems, but for now, there is no fundamental mistake. So, if you want to destroy the Dongding Kingdom, you can only rely on absolutely powerful external forces. So, let me ask you, Qi State has the ability to absolutely destroy the Dongding Kingdom. The power of the country? Come on, give me an example of the power that Qi can mobilize."

The military attache who asked Li Qingxian pondered for a while and said: "If the river guarding army goes south, under the leadership of the great general Wang, there is a high chance of defeating the Dongding Kingdom. But if we want to destroy the Dongding Kingdom, even the river guarding army will not be able to do so. It can't be done. After all, I'm not sure how powerful the Dongding Kingdom is. I even heard that some of their weapons are better than ours, and some southern frontier troops secretly bought theirs..."

The whole hall was in an uproar, and many people could not believe it.

However, the well-informed middle-level officials had gloomy faces and said nothing.

The official continued: "Normal war cannot destroy the Dongding Kingdom, so we can only engage in high-quality warfare. It stands to reason that our Qi State dominates the world. If we attack the Dongding Kingdom to the south, the world will follow suit, but the actual situation But it’s hard to say. They can’t even unite against the Monster Clan, let alone the Dongding Kingdom. The major forces in the country depend more or less on the Dongding Kingdom, and it was a joke last year. People from the Second Assistant said The drug dealers of the Dongding Kingdom made too much money from the Qi Kingdom and wanted to ban the purchase of medicinal materials from the Dongding Kingdom. However, within a few months, they found that there were not enough military supplies and alchemy medicinal materials. We can only give up the ban. Furthermore, back then, the Tianming Sect dominated the world and was about to destroy the Dongding Ming Sect, but in the end, it ended up with a leader and nothing could stop it..."

Finally, the man said: "Unless the demon clan disappears and the whole country of Qi uses all its strength to defeat it, it is possible to defeat it. Otherwise, the biggest possibility is that both sides will suffer losses, internal and external troubles, and then... it is hard to say."

Li Qingxian said: "Then, I have another question, why can't Qi country tolerate a Dongding country?"

"How can we allow others to snore on the side of the bed?"

Li Qingxian said slowly: "I remember that An Chao also said these words to attack Taizu."

There was silence in the hall.

Li Qingxian said: "So, let me ask the last question, what makes us think that Qi can decide everything in the world? I think that if we don't find this answer, it will be difficult for us to solve the Tan Nan incident."

Everyone nodded, some were convinced.

Some middle-level officials looked at each other and communicated secretly.

"You are young, but you are very clever."

"Asking questions without giving answers is better than the answers. It does have the appearance of superiority."

"As expected of a person who studies numerology, his knowledge is indeed extraordinary."

Just then, a voice came from outside the door.

"Then Deputy Commander Li, how do you answer this question?" Jian Yuancang walked in with a smile and walked slowly towards Li Qingxian.

The officials took a deep breath.

Li Qingxian turned his head and met Jian Yuancang's eyes.

Everyone looked at Jian Yuancang. This right commander, colleague and disciple of the King of Chu, once threatened to demolish Chunfengju, but was scolded by the coward king and returned to the original state in despair.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Li Qingxian to see how he would answer.

Li Qingxian smiled and said: "With all the gentlemen here, how can it be my turn to answer? As a citizen of Qi, the only thing I can do is to practice hard, and when I am successful in my practice, I can serve the emperor and the country."

Jian Yuancang smiled and said: "Master Li is too reserved, just chatting."

Jian Yuancang shook his head and sat diagonally opposite Li Qingxian.

The hall fell into a long silence.

Not long after, officials came in one after another from outside and broke the silence.

Zhang Fugui, the commander on the left, Leng Can, the commander on the right, and Song Yanxue, the commander on the left, arrived one after another.

At three o'clock in the morning, the huge figure of the Coward King appeared at the entrance of the hall, and everyone stood up one after another.

When the huge recliner landed on the platform deep in the hall, King Cang smiled and said: "Comrades, please take a seat."

Everyone sat down one after another.

The cowardly king said: "Everyone must be aware of the incident in Tannan. Dongding Kingdom's bloodbath of the royal family of Tannan Kingdom aroused public outrage, and everyone in Tannan Kingdom wanted revenge. Not only that, early this morning, Dongding Kingdom also dug up the Tianjiang Dam, causing the river to flood. It pours water into the Tannan land, it is extremely cruel, and both humans and gods are angry."

Everyone's eyes widened suddenly.

The Tianjiang Dam is located at the junction of the two countries. Countless fertile fields in the Dongding Kingdom need this dam. If the dam is dug, the most severely damaged will be the Dongding Kingdom, not the Tannan Kingdom.

The truth can only be...

The timid king said slowly: "In addition, the Dongding Kingdom actually ordered Jiang Kaiguo to invade the Tannan Kingdom, which was in vain for the peace of the world and brought disaster to the world. The ministers in the court were furious because of their wild ambitions. Your Majesty has announced that he will do his best to help the Tannan Kingdom. Confront Jiang Kaiguo."

Everyone was stunned.

It was so high-profile as mentioned before, but it ended with "confronting Jiang Kaiguo". What about the Dongding Kingdom, where people and gods are angry?

Many people sighed softly.

No matter how loudly the Gongun princes in the court shouted joyfully and no matter how viciously they cursed, they still understood that Qi State no longer had the strength to start a full-scale war with Dongding State.

A few decades ago, there wouldn't have been much public anger. I'm afraid everyone wouldn't be so happy that they would directly march out with their armies, attack the city and seize the land, and take a large piece of land from Dongding Kingdom before stopping.

Any story can find its prototype in reality.

However, we cannot say that all stories point to reality just because reality has prototypes.

This book does not make any insinuations, let alone politics, especially in today's China. I don't want to get into trouble.

Everyone is the same, they receive all kinds of information, they are bound to be affected by this information, and they are bound to use some information, but it does not mean that I have to point to reality.

What I write is an imaginary world, and I may use realistic information, but the final point is only this story, and it can only point to this story, not reality.

I hope everyone can understand that I am a storyteller. At most, I am telling a certain possibility, rather than saying "reality must run according to the will in my book."

It's like, everyone makes paper, I just draw a random picture on it, and you accuse me of making counterfeit money. This is too literal.

What's more, since the relationship between countries in the world is to be constructed, it will inevitably be affected by history and current events. Even popular novels such as "The Lord of the Rings" are copied from history.

Some people don't understand this, so I'll explain it to you.

Story and reality intersect, but they don’t completely overlap.

Everyone's thoughts are intertwined, and they are not completely overlapping.

I just present the stories intertwined in my mind in the form of words, that's all, rather than guiding reality.

Just give the creators a little freedom, a little freedom of thought. Thank you.
