"The magistrate of Cao Shancheng, Cao Shancheng, had his nest stolen, and his people were also beheaded??"

"Yes, what should I do?"

"What else can we do? Let me report my merits to Magistrate Cao!" Amid the rumblings, Zhang Xing, who was sitting on the podium, thought for a moment and replied seriously. "In the name of Li Shuijun, I will repay Bohai, Pingyuan, Dengzhou and Qizhou."

The prefect sent a message, asking them to report their merits to Magistrate Cao, and then asked Fang County Lieutenant to go to his hometown in person, take the documents to see the Qinghe Prefect, and ask him if he wanted to come together, and be careful to share the credit with this person.

Someone... who has made many friends, what can County Magistrate Cao do? Isn't he dragged in? After being dragged in, can he use his achievements to attract others? "

Cheng Dalang nodded and got off the platform.

In the afternoon, only Li Ding, Zhang Xing, Little Zhou, and a few crows were left on the grassless podium.

Among them, Xiao Zhou sat down on the stairs holding a cup, while Li and Zhang sat in the middle around a square eucalyptus, blowing the wind and watching the clouds. On the eucalyptus was a pot of tea and two cups...Today's weather, frankly speaking, was a bit...

Not good, the clouds are a little thicker and the wind is a little strong... But this kind of scene has happened a lot in the past few years. The two of them are the couple who talk about current affairs the most, and they get together because of political discussions. It's windy, snowy, and electric.

The flashes of thunder and thunder did not delay the two men from discussing politics and criticizing the public.

But the atmosphere between the two of them was indeed a bit awkward at this moment.

The reason is self-evident. Zhang Xing definitely hopes that Li Ding will stay. This idea has not changed from the beginning, but he also knows that the latter must leave, and both parties knew the other's intentions from the beginning.

"These county guards are also quite interesting."

After Cheng Dalang left, under the shadow of the clouds, Li Ding spoke first and tried his best to smile. "After we defeated Zhang Jinscale, we went to find them, but they were cautious. The governor of Bohai even asked Cheng what his name was, saying that he wanted to be an official at Pu Tai.

Do you want justice?"

"Normal." Zhang Xing sighed. "It is impossible to save the Wei Dynasty, because Hebei, the Central Plains, the East Territory, Jianghuai, and Jiangdong are all people who have lost their hearts. The so-called Wei has been suffering for a long time...it means that a sudden military attack comes.

, suppressed it for a while, without delay, these places were in chaos and repeated themselves, until the Wei Dynasty was unable to quell the rebellion... Under such circumstances, it is normal for local officials who have lived in the place for a long time to have their thoughts, and they are not stupid. "

"It fell apart." Li Ding sighed. "It fell apart in Guanlong, and it fell apart in other places. We have talked about it."

Zhang Xing nodded, then picked up the teacup and drank.

"What are you going to do next?" The atmosphere between the two parties calmed down a little, and Li Ding came to ask. "After this battle, the bandits in the surrounding areas will not dare to come again, and then it is estimated that the imperial army will come like thunder to suppress you. You are a blacklist."

The third imperial convict, it’s useless to stay here, why don’t you take the opportunity to take a walk? How about going to Beihuang or Dongyi to have a look?”

"I really want to go to Dongyi or Beihuang." Zhang Xing, who was sitting in the east, raised his finger and pointed behind him and the north, and answered seriously. "Go and see how dilapidated Dongyi is and whether there is still competition for supremacy.

The ability of the world... When the Wei Dynasty fell, it was because they had the right time, place, people, great masters, strong soldiers and horses, and the faint support of the two supreme leaders from the top, and even many generations fled there

The Central Atomic Brotherhood... If they can cheer up, make changes in their consciousness, and use the name of human race as one, maybe there will be something to say."

"That makes sense."

Li Ding nodded, but then shook his head. "But it's too difficult... The most difficult thing in the world is self-innovation. The term "nature is difficult to change" is so apt. If you can change your own nature, how can you get Dongyi and Wei Dynasty?

Even if we corrected those shortcomings in our own family, the Tang Dynasty could also change some things... What's more, after four conquests, Dongyi's own people were exhausted and internal fighting continued."

"So if the situation is really bad and you have to leave, then go take a look and see what's going on? They are just a corner of the world's chess game. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you will have no idea." Zhang Xing nodded.

"And it is precisely for this reason that I want to go to the Northern Wilderness... At that time, the Black Emperor and the Sin Dragon of the Witch Clan, the Red Emperor Empress rose from three sides, and the Red Emperor Empress was born as the orthodox princess of the Demon Clan, not to mention,

The rise of the Black Emperor and the Sinful Dragon of the Witch Clan may be related to the geographical location they guard... The terrain of the Northern Wilderness is also wonderful."

"That's right." Li Ding immediately responded. "Beihuang, Dongyi, and Guanzhong are all typical places where the struggle for hegemony is based. But you should also know that since the three tribes fought for hegemony, for thousands of years, the West has basically won.

In the east, north is better than south... The terrain in Guanzhong is so good. Outside of the four fortresses, there are only a few obstacles from Bashu, the Central Plains, and Jin. In comparison, although Dongyi is rich, it is not enough.

Support them to swallow up large open areas such as the Eastern Territory, the Central Plains, Hebei, Jianghuai and so on; while the Northern Wilderness is too big and too cold, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Only by annexing Hebei and taking over the Shan Dynasty can the world be stabilized.

.”

"Just playing chess." Zhang Xing said disapprovingly. "Of course I know that Guanlong is the best, followed by Beihuang, Dongyi, and Nanling lacks a foundation, but some geography is better than nothing..."

"You just don't want to go to Guanlong?" The wind got a little stronger, and Li Ding finally couldn't help but take the initiative to touch on that issue. "You don't want to go to Wu'an to take up the post and be the master of Hebei for your Miss Bai? After you leave Hekou, you

What exactly have you gone through, and why are you so determined all of a sudden?"

"I have never experienced anything. I am just a rebel by nature. If I have to say there is anything special, it is nothing more than seeing villages abandoned and crops growing overgrown. But this is different from the impermanence of life and death I saw along the way.

It's worth mentioning." Zhang Xing responded calmly. "It didn't happen suddenly, it was just that the water was full and suddenly overflowed."

Li Ding looked up to the sky and sighed, but he had nothing to say.

"As for Guanlong, I have said it before... that is the difference between Dingtianxia and Antianxia." Zhang Xing continued to preach seriously. "Since Emperor Zu's Eastern Expedition, the winners of all dynasties have all started from Guanlong. This is

It makes the meritorious and noble people there pile up one after another, and they are constantly connected, and they take the flesh and blood of Hebei, the Central Plains, and the south of the Yangtze River to supply one place. They are so greedy that people's hearts turn away... This is wrong. And if you want to ask me if I am ready to help it.

If you want to stay at home and merge with Guanlong, then I can tell you clearly that I have this intention."

Li Ding did not feel surprised, but smiled bitterly: "Don't do the easy things, but only do the difficult ones?"

"If you don't take the road that is better for the people of the world, do you have to take the bad one?" Zhang Xing immediately asked. "Collude with a group of nobles from Guanlong again, start another dispute between Guanlong and Shandong, and do it again

Fall apart!"

"But, what is the difference between the new group of people from Hebei and Beihuang, Dongyi and the Eastern Territory, and the group of people from Guanlong?" Li Ding was still puzzled. "Just take the road from Hebei to the Eastern Territory.

Now, they won’t be arrogant in the future? They won’t fall apart? Didn’t you tell me that day, the general trend of the world is that if we divide for a long time, we will unite and if we unite for a long time, we will separate! At most, it’s just one step away!”

"Who says it's not?" Zhang Xing sneered. "But didn't I say it? If it can be better, it can be better. If you can depose a dragon, it is a dragon. If you depose the evil dragon of the Guanlong nobles, you can always bring peace to the world.

Take another breath, and this breath may be the matter of a generation... Why not do it?"

"So is this what you mean by deposing the Dragon Gang?" Li Ding was suddenly confused. He glanced at Xiao Zhou who looked back curiously, but then smiled bitterly again. "We want to depose this evil dragon Guan Longgui? No wonder it is deposed instead of eliminated."

Zhang Xing didn't say anything, but gave the other party a strange look.

But just such a glance made Li Ding instantly alert, and he even felt a little bit like the hairs on his hair were standing on end... He didn't even know if it was an illusion, but even the sound of the wind was a little louder, so much so that the shadows of autumn clouds were rolling around, and they were floating randomly across the balcony.

"You...what else do you want to do?" Li Ding became a little cautious.

"I'm not doing anything." Zhang Xing replied casually. "I'm just trying my best. I can take one step at a time and go as far as I can..."

"Zhang Sanlang, this is the truth, but some people... We don't say they can leave, but the farthest we can think of is just a dispute between Guanlong and Hebei... just like Fang Yanshi." Li Ding.

He pursed his lips and tried his best to ask, "And for some people, like you, where is the furthest way they can think of?"

Zhang Xing still looked at the other party strangely, as if he thought the other party was a bit talkative: "What is your ambition?"

"To unify the world, attain the rank of god, and be famous for eternity." Li Ding blurted out. "Didn't you already know that?"

Zhang Xing remained silent and answered.

Li Ding opened his mouth to speak, but there was no sound and he was sweating profusely. At this time, the autumn wind was even worse and it became cold again. It seemed that there was a hint of rain, but like Li Silang's words, they were stuck there and could not be poured out.

After an unknown amount of time, Li Ding finally lowered his voice and said: "You... if you are... I mean if you are, if you become the Supreme, you will really kill all the real dragons in the world and return them to the earth... that is,

Does the vitality of heaven and earth belong to humans?"

Zhang Xing finally came to laugh: "Black Emperor can do it, White Emperor can do it, but other supreme beings can't do it? And how to kill him cleanly?"

The rain gradually fell, unexpectedly, not very quickly.

Li Ding seemed to be relieved: "It seems that I am too stingy when you say this... At that point, whether you depose the dragon or slay the god, it is inevitable... But why does it have to be called dethroning the dragon?

Not slaying dragons or slaying gods?"

Zhang Xing narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Perhaps because of the raindrops, Li Ding did not notice the subtle changes in the other party's expression this time. Instead, he continued: "And to put it bluntly, how can the Supreme be easily attained?"

"I think it's not difficult to achieve the supreme status." Zhang Xing sighed.

Li Ding did not say anything this time, but glanced at the other party, and went to get the untouched cup of tea, preparing to drink it before the raindrops stained it... The meaning is very simple... If you say it is not difficult, it is not difficult, right?

I won’t argue with you either!

"Li Silang, do you know what I like most in this world?" Zhang Xing didn't care, and just asked in the light rain.

Both of them are masters of Qijing, so they are naturally not afraid of this rain. Li Ding also became more calm and just responded casually: "The vitality of heaven and earth?"

"It's God's will!" Zhang Xing blurted out.

Li Silang was stunned in place, as if he thought of something, but he didn't catch it.

Zhang Xing finally smiled: "I dare to ask Li Silang, the three tribes of humans, lich and demons are fighting for hegemony. The Black Emperor and the Red Emperor empress each hold their own positions, and their intestines are almost torn out. Without delay, they can all achieve the supreme throne, and the witches

The dragon who has committed family sins can only hide in the sea of ​​misery, so what is the point?

The White Emperor swept through hundreds of tribes, effectively abolishing the fortunes of the two races of lich and witches, slaying dragons and cutting off rivers, enforcing laws and regulations... According to a story in a certain novel, the Green Emperor was even afraid of being killed by the White Emperor, and he did not hesitate to descend to earth to fake it.

The generals under Bai Diye hurriedly assisted Bai Diye in confirming his throne, and thus saved some tribes left in the fifty states of Dongyi... Why is this happening?

And the descendants of the ancestors and emperors came forward one after another and forcibly established the Three Brilliance and Four Imperial Majesty. The three radiance is a natural thing, but it overpowers the four imperial lords. Black, white, red and green, who can't stand up and say it? Why is this?

?”

"Because God's will is high." Li Ding answered seriously in the rain while holding a tea cup.

"Yes, it's because God's will is so high." Zhang Xing sighed and looked at the sky. "In my opinion, the most wonderful thing about this world is this God's will... and it's extremely high... She doesn't show up, she doesn't speak, and she doesn't have a statue.

, after the three radiances and four emperors came out, no one dared to make random gestures with anything on the ground... We all know that there is a sky above the three radiances and four emperors, and the will of heaven is high enough... Then let me ask you, apart from the will of heaven

Is height good or bad? Or is it smooth or against?"

Li Ding was silent for a moment. He wanted to tell the other party that this kind of theological issue is not something we should worry about, but at this time he had to admit that this theological issue would probably determine his lifelong ambition and the determination of the person in front of him.

, determines the fate of everyone.
To be continued...
