In the Imperial Study Room, the Ming Emperor looked gloomy.

Seeing Lin Lang coming in, he immediately stood up and said: "Master Lin, something big happened in Dali. Please ask for help from our Ming Dynasty."

"I have thought about it for a long time, and only Master Lin can solve everything by going there."

Lin Lang sat on the stool: "What big thing happened in Dali?"

The Five Immortals Sect is the only one in Dali Jianghu Sect. The other small sects can be easily solved by the local officials of Dali. Even the once powerful Iron Palm Gang, the gang leader has become the apprentice of Master Yideng.

Besides, Dali is such a big place. The monks from Tianlong Temple can go to any place in Dali within one day. How easy it is to manage.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty looked worried: "The Song clan in South Vietnam wants to take the road from Dali and go north to Sui Dynasty. What can they say to avenge their son-in-law?"

"But if Dali really opens the pass, and one hundred thousand elite soldiers march directly into Dali, they can occupy the entire territory of Dali at any time."

"Even if there are passes in Dali that can block the soldiers and horses of the Song clan, they cannot stop the leader of the Song clan, Song Que. As allies, we should watch and help each other in accordance with the covenant in the credentials."

"It's just that the Ming Dynasty is also in a period of recuperation and it is difficult to mobilize the army, so I want to ask Master Lin to come over and stop Song Que. This will solve the crisis in Dali."

"With Dali here, not only can it help us resist the Song clan in South Vietnam, but it can also contain the Song Dynasty, Tubo, etc. It will also have a certain influence on the Sui Dynasty. There is no room for failure."

Lin Lang looked at the Ming Emperor and said as if Dali was very important, but with so few people in Dali, could it really threaten so many countries?

The Song Dynasty was not warlike, and the civil strife in the Sui Dynasty had not yet been resolved. How could it have the courage to go to war abroad?

It is even more impossible for Tubo. Materials are expensive and scarce. The national advisors are all serving as elders in Heimuya, and they would not dare to send troops without Dali.

When the Song clan wanted to send troops, it was also to the Sui Dynasty, which had little impact on the Ming Dynasty.

However, he found that the Ming Emperor seemed to really want him to go to Dali. Is this what he wanted to do to distract him?

Then he would see what other plots the little emperor had.

Even if he is not in the Ming Dynasty, he can still know what happens here, including in the palace.

He really wanted to meet Song Que, the Heavenly Sword.

Only by fighting against opponents of the same realm, or even higher realms than himself, can his strength improve faster.

A chance epiphany may increase your strength more than years of self-isolation and hard training.

"Since His Majesty said that Dali is very important, then I will go and have a look." Lin Lang looked reluctant.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was overjoyed: "With Master Lin taking action, Dali will be sure that nothing will happen, and it will also enhance the prestige of the Ming Dynasty."

"This time Master Lin is coming here on behalf of our Ming Dynasty. I have already ordered people to prepare the honor guard..."

"There's no need for a guard of honor." Lin Lang stood up, "It's faster for me to leave alone."

"If we delay any longer, I'm afraid Dali will have been destroyed."

Watching Lin Lang go out, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty said to the side: "Wei Jinzhong, ask someone to continue to Dali with the honor guard of the imperial master, and also inform Dali of the imperial master's departure."

…."When we get there, let the Imperial Advisor serve as an envoy to have a good talk with Dali about the trade between the two countries."

After Lin Lang left, he could quietly improve his strength without worrying about being discovered by Lin Lang.

On the surface, he gave Lin Lang enough respect, which could also suppress Lin Lang's disobedience.

His Heavenly Wrath Mental Technique is progressing very quickly, and it may not take too long for him to become a true master.

And he had another plan to contain Lin Lang, which was to canonize Wudang Zhang Sanfeng.

There is no need for Zhang Sanfeng to take action, just maintain the name of a national teacher and intimidate other people in the world.

The people sent to persuade Zhang Sanfeng have already set off, hoping there will be good news.

The simplest form of imperial power is balance. He did not believe that Zhang Sanfeng could refuse the Wudang Clan's opportunity to revitalize.

After leaving the palace, Lin Lang called Wang Wu and others over and explained some things carefully.

Everyone's explanations were different, and many even overstepped their bounds, but no one had any questions and they all agreed immediately, even Shangguan Haitang.

He got on the sedan chair and left the capital quickly. When he left the city gate, Lin Lang looked back in the direction of the palace: "I'll give you the opportunity you want, but if you don't know what to do and insist on becoming a villain,

Then I’ll let you know the fate of rebelling!”

…

Dali, Tianlong Temple.

Emperor Duan Zhengming of Dali had a frown on his face, as did Master Ku Rong and Master Ben Yin in front of him.

"Three days have passed since the Song Clan's request to use the road. Now the Song Clan's 100,000 elite soldiers are coming to our border in Dali. Now the people in Dali are panicked."

"Master Kurong, will the Ming Dynasty help? Can they let the Imperial Master Lin Lang come over?"

Duan Zhengming was extremely anxious. The Song clan had not yet caught up with the food supply, but they might attack at any time.

Master Kurong raised his head: "We have the credentials, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely be willing to help, otherwise their civil servants will spurn the royal family."

"Imperial Master Lin Lang should also be here. He is a martial arts genius who has never been defeated."

Because Lin Lang is a young man, and young people are generally energetic.

Especially Lin Lang, who has never been defeated in these years.

Whether it was the Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng or the Meng Yuan Emperor's Master Jinlun Dharma King, they were both masters who had been famous for many years, but they were all killed by Lin Lang.

Such a person must not be afraid of challenges and must also like challenges.

So while others are afraid of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, Lin Lang is certainly not afraid, and may even be very excited about it.

"So what we have to do now is to delay until Lin Lang comes over, otherwise our country, Dali, will be destroyed."

"At that time, I, the people of Dali, will be coerced into participating in the Song Dynasty's struggle for world hegemony, and the people will surely be destitute."

They had already thought of a way to delay. They told the Song clan that the Dali courtiers were discussing the matter of borrowing the road, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

However, this method cannot be delayed for a few days. Fortunately, the Song clan's army has not yet been assembled. After all, the mobilization of food and grass is slower.

But when grain and grass are also mobilized to the border, the Song Dynasty must send troops at that time, otherwise a large amount of grain and grass will be wasted, and the Song Dynasty will not have the financial resources to send troops for a year or two.

In terms of military strength, Dali was no less powerful than the Song clan, with around 100,000 soldiers and horses at its disposal.

....Although Dali's troops and horses are slightly weaker, as the defender of the city, there are still city passes, which are enough to make up for the gap between the two sides.

The biggest difference between the two sides is the commander-in-chief.

In addition to the heavenly sword Song Que, the Song clan also has two great masters, the earth sword Song Zhi and the silver spear Song Lu.

The people from Tianlong Temple join forces to deal with Song Zhi and Song Lu, but how can they stop the Heavenly Sword Song Que?

Last year, Tianlong Temple could still ask for help from the Northern and Southern Shaolin Schools. They are all disciples of Buddhism, and they are all major martial arts sects, so they still have a certain affinity with each other.

But now the Northern Shaolin has been destroyed, the Southern Shaolin has been blocked by the Ming sect Zhang Wuji and others, and the Tianlong Temple has no relationship with Buddhism in the Sui Dynasty or the Western Regions.

The Quanzhen Sect, the Southern Beggar Clan, Wudang Mountain, etc. have not responded, and I am afraid they do not want to provoke the Heavenly Sword.

The only hope now is Lin Lang, the emperor's master of the Ming Dynasty.

Duan Yu lowered his head. He was called the number one genius in Dali, and his talent was even greater than that of Master Yideng.

Some people even say that he is one of the top geniuses in the world, no worse than Xiao Feng, Lu Xiaofeng, Zhang Wuji, Lin Lang, etc.

But now he realizes that those words are just flattery from the world. Let alone Lin Lang, even Zhang Wuji is far behind him.

He couldn't help at all in this matter.

Grandmaster is still too weak.

So what if you know the Six Meridians Divine Sword, you can't hit anyone at all.

They were discussing when someone suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, please report from the front. The Song Clan's army will be assembled within three days. If we don't give you a reply by then, the Song Clan will attack the city directly."

Duan Zhengming was anxious: "Find a way to stabilize the Song clan, and then send someone to see if reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have arrived."

"What? The honor guard of the Emperor Ming Dynasty only set off from the capital of Ming Dynasty?"

According to this speed, the Ming emperor's army may not be able to leave the Ming border in three days.

Dali may have been destroyed by then.

All the words of helping each other are fake!

It seems that the Ming Dynasty sent people and kept the promise in the certificate of credence, but actually did not have to face the Song clan. It was really shameless!

"Duan Yu, go and force Master Yideng out of seclusion. Now is the moment of life and death for my Duan family in Dali."

…

Song clan military camp.

Song Que's face was neither sad nor happy, he just gently wiped the knife in his hand.

He didn't expect that someone would actually dare to kill him!

In this way, most of the Song clan's previous layout in the Sui Dynasty was abolished, but it also gave him an excuse to directly send troops.

"It seems that I haven't traveled around the world for a long time, and they think my knife is dull."

Silver Spear Song Lu stood in front of Song Que: "Brother, Dali will definitely not agree to borrow the road. I heard that they have gone to the Ming Dynasty for help. The Ming Emperor's Master may bring someone over to help."

Song Que put down his knife and looked at the map hanging in the tent: "Isn't that appropriate? It would also save me the trouble of going to Daming to find him."

The people who killed Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were Jiang Xiaoyu and Hua Wuque from the Sun Moon God Sect.

If Lin Lang's apprentice killed his descendant, then he would kill Lin Lang, so that the entire world would recall the terror of his Heavenly Sword, so that no one would dare to resist the steps of the Song clan.

Song Lu saw his eldest brother's confident look and thought it was normal. His eldest brother's Heavenly Sword was undefeated.

....Although Lin Lang killed the Sword Immortal Ye Gucheng and Meng Yuan's Imperial Master Jinlun Dharma King, he was definitely no match for his elder brother.

Especially when he knew that his eldest brother had made another breakthrough in his sword skills, he became even more unstoppable.

"Brother, in this case, should we occupy Dali first and not send troops to the Sui Dynasty?"

"We will wait and see for a while, continue to follow the original plan, wait for the several aristocratic families in the Sui Dynasty to decide the winner, and then we will take action to clean up the mess and determine the world in one fell swoop."

Or you can ask the second brother to occupy a territory in the Sui Dynasty first and gather the young commander's army that was defeated before, so that you can achieve this.

Even just one county can be of great use at critical moments.

The main reason is that this time things happened too suddenly, their food and fodder preparations were not sufficient, and recruit training was still in progress.

If you don’t have enough troops, how can you fight for world supremacy? Do you just rely on a few masters?

Song Que pointed to Dali on the map: "Isn't there food, grass, soldiers and horses here?"

If he could get Dali's food, fodder, soldiers and horses, then he would have an army of 200,000, and the food and grass would be sufficient, which would be no less powerful than the aristocratic families of the Sui Dynasty.

Song Lu was confused, how to get Dali's grain, grass, soldiers and horses?

If he attacked, he was confident that the Song clan would win and the losses would be reduced. However, Dali's troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and many would even become deserters.

It will take a long time to collect these deserters, and most of Dali's food and grass will be consumed. How can we support them to move north smoothly?

Song Que turned his head and said, "Didn't the Duan clan of Dali persuade us not to take action, saying that we would avoid the loss of lives?"

"Then tell the Duan family, if we do not want to use weapons and cause heavy casualties to the subjects of the two countries, then let the Song family and the Duan family directly decide the fate of the two countries."

"We win. The Duan family of Dali will hand over Dali to our Song family to take charge of it. The Duan family will leave."

"If we lose, we will give all the Song family's army to the Duan family."

"Spread this news throughout Dali, so that the subjects of Dali will force the Duan family in Dali to fight."

Otherwise, we will lose the support of the people and the Duan family in Dali will still be finished.

Song Lu's eyes lit up. It seemed that the Song family had made concessions when they had the upper hand, and even paid a greater price than the Duan family.

But will their Song family lose?

Big brother, this method can directly annex Dali and double the strength of the Song clan, making it easier to conquer the world.

"Brother, they definitely don't dare to decide victory or defeat in one battle, so how about three battles? What if they hire help?"

Song Que sat on the chair: "Whatever, as long as there is someone who is not afraid of death, feel free to help Duan."

It would be best if the Great Ming Emperor's master also participates. Only a strong opponent is worthy of letting him use the sword, and maybe his sword skills can be further improved.

Otherwise, just the Duan family's trash, Song Zhi and Song Lu would be enough, and it would be so boring.

…

"Right envoy, we have arrived in Dali." The person carrying the sedan said.

Lin Lang opened his eyes: "Call the people from the Five Immortals Sect to come over and ask about the current situation of the Duan clan in Dali and the Song clan in South Vietnam."

Soon, a man who looked like a medicine shop owner came to Lin Lang's sedan.

"The White Scorpion of the Five Immortals Sect pays homage to the Right Envoy."

"Right envoy, I have just received news that the Song family of South Vietnam has proposed a method for the Song family to compete with the Duan family of Dali in an arena to determine the fate of the two countries."

…."There are three battles in total, and two of the three battles are victorious. The loser will directly hand over all authority to the winner."

"Many subjects in Dali are in favor of this method. No one wants to fight a bloody battle with the Song clan's army. The Duan family was forced to agree, and the duel was scheduled for two days later."

"This news has spread throughout Dali, and also to the Song Dynasty, Sui Dynasty and the Western Regions. Some lone people from the Jianghu are ready to watch the fun. Everyone feels that the Duan family is leaving Dali."

Arena competition?

Lin Lang quickly figured it out and sneered: "Song Que's calculations are very loud. Do you want to directly annex Dali without using up every soldier?"

It's also to blame that Dali wanted to commit suicide. When he resisted the Song clan before, he kept talking about things that he didn't want to doom the lives of the people and make the people homeless. Now he is being held up by the Song clan. If he doesn't agree, he will lose the support of the people.

At that time, Dali will also be defeated, and the Duan family will definitely be slaughtered by the Song clan.

If he loses the martial arts competition in the ring now, Duan can still leave Dali, which can be regarded as a retreat.

But it's hard to say whether the Song clan will pursue the Duan family.

Maybe the remaining masters of the Duan family will accidentally encounter bandits and die?

With two wins out of three, the Song Clan can produce Song Que, Song Zhi and Song Lu. Except for Master Yideng, who is considered a master on Duan's side, everyone else is vulnerable.

Duan Yu and Ku Rong are completely inferior to Song and Lu.

Thinking of this, Lin Lang had a plan.

"Keep an eye on it to see which people from the world will come to watch the excitement. If there are any top experts, please report to me as soon as possible."

"By the way, has your Leader Lan come out of seclusion? Ask her to come over and watch the fun."

Although Lan Phoenix may not be able to see Song Que's sword skills clearly, the martial arts of Song Zhi and Song Lu, as well as the martial arts of other masters of the Duan family in Dali, are still worth seeing for Lan Phoenix.

Last time, he gave all the Tang Sect's poison skills to Lan Fenghuang, and also added some of his own deductions. He didn't know whether Lan Fenghuang could break through to the realm of Grand Master.

"Okay, let's take a rest in the county ahead."

Lin Lang saw someone leaving in the distance and did not stop him.

Why did he come here to hide, and he was hoping that people from the Duan family in Dali would come to him. Qianqianwannu

In the evening of that day, Lin Lang was enjoying Dali's local chicken at the county inn. The serious local chicken was cooked in the form of steam pot chicken.

Only halfway through the meal, someone came to report that Master Kurong, the abbot of Tianlong Temple, had arrived.

"Master Kurong, please sit down. What's going on? Is it quick to get a set of bowls for Master Kurong?"

Master Kurong clasped his hands together: "Master Ming Dynasty is joking, Amitabha, monks do not eat meat."

"Eh~~ The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in the heart." Lin Lang continued to persuade, "Are you tired of eating local chicken? Next time you go to Daming, I will treat you to eat the local chicken from Daming. I guarantee that you will support me.

The wall goes in and the wall comes out."

Master Kurong's eyes were twitching wildly. He felt that the native chicken Lin Lang was talking about was different from what he understood.

"Master of the Ming Dynasty, we will talk about food later. I believe you already know the news that the Duan family is going to duel with the Song family. So since you are here on behalf of the Ming Dynasty this time, can you help stop the Heavenly Sword Song Que?"

Lin Lang leaned back on the chair and wiped the corners of his mouth with a brocade handkerchief: "My surname is not Duan, nor am I from Dali. Isn't it appropriate to participate in the competition on behalf of the Duan family?"

Master Kurong lowered his head: "I, Duan of Dali, would like to marry the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and send a princess to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This makes sense, and the Song family cannot stop it."

They had already made a plan. Anyway, Duan Zhengchun had so many daughters who were living abroad, so they just happened to find one of them, make her a princess, and give it to Lin Lang.

It doesn't matter even if she is a concubine, after all, Lin Lang is a super strong person in the heavenly realm.

Lin Lang pouted, "I've tasted the best of Dali's princesses a long time ago, and I can't bear to eat the others."

"Kurong, your Duan clan is very smart. You want me to help you deal with Song Que, the Heavenly Sword, by sending a random woman to you?"

And this time he agreed. If Dali is bullied again in the future, will he still come to help?

Master Kurong knew it was not that simple, so he immediately said: "I, the Duan clan of Dali, are willing to give me ten top martial arts as a dowry. Can this satisfy the Ming emperor's master?"

Lin Lang's eyes lit up: "Why don't we each take a step back? I don't want the princess of the Duan family in Dali, so how about you just send me the dowry?"

Master Kurong: "???"
