Chapter 183: Destroy the bridge after crossing the river!
"Everyone, this general does not expect you to stay. This general only needs a small team of a thousand people to stay."
Long Xuanji said with a determined look.
All the generals present breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they were not allowed to stay and attack the city, they would certainly agree to this condition.
Even though the white shadow was a powerful grandmaster, the stronger he was, the more he could feel how terrifying the explosion outside Xiliang City was.
He had long wanted to run away.
Hearing this, he pretended to praise: "Under such circumstances, General Long still cares about the lives of Long Lei and others. I admire you!
In this case, you should go out and select a team of one thousand men to follow you.
The rest of you should pack your bags and withdraw as soon as possible."
"Here!"
The other generals just wanted to leave quickly, so they stopped pretending and rushed out of their tents.
Liang Ming is the only calm person here.
He is Qin Chuan's man behind the scenes, so of course he is not worried about being punished by God.
Now that the Qi army has withdrawn, he can be said to have made a fortune.
Just when he was thinking about how to spend the money he had defrauded from the seven wealthy families of Qian Kingdom.
Long Xuanji, who had selected the right men, found him.
"Sir Liang, please come with me!"
Liang Ming felt that it must be something bad: "What's the matter? You can just tell me here!"
"come over!"
Long Xuanji's face darkened and she pointed at Liang Ming and brought him to her tent.
When he was sure that there was no one outside the tent, Long Xuanji untied his acupoints.
Liang Ming forced a smile and said, "General Long, what's the matter?"
"Didn't you tell me last time that Han Li had a weak period? Haven't your people been looking for an opportunity for him to take a hot spring bath? This general wants to ask you, when will Han Li go to take a hot spring bath to recover his strength?" Long Xuanji asked.
Liang Ming almost forgot about this.
Thinking back, Qin Chuan had been asking him to wait for news, but no news had been sent to him yet.
The guy told the truth: "There is no news yet, but now that the crisis in Xiliang City has been resolved, he should be going there soon."
"In that case, you and your people should stay here. After I have dealt with Han Li, you can return to Da Qi!
My Shenlongmen will definitely thank you then!" Long Xuanji said politely, but his expression was full of frost.
It seemed that as long as Liang Ming didn't agree, Long Xuanji would take his life.
This guy is very cunning. He analyzed that Qin Chuan deliberately asked him to reveal this information to Long Xuanji in order to capture Long Xuanji.
Now that the task has not been completed yet, Qin Chuan probably won't let him leave.
It would be better to stay here, so that I can also ask for some benefits from Long Xuanji.
This guy was busy and pretended to be busy. He said, "General Long, I want to help you too.
But I have old people to take care of and young children to take care of, and I’m afraid of being punished by God.
Please be so kind as to allow me to leave with Lord Baiying and the others."
The coldness on Long Xuanji's body became even stronger, but she also knew that she could not kill Liang Ming.
He immediately promised: "You must have always wanted to join the cabinet, right? If you help me this time, after we return.
I, the Shenlong Sect, will recommend you to join the cabinet!"
Liang Ming exclaimed in his heart, he was really going to get lucky.
The opportunity to join the cabinet was what he had wanted all his life, so how could he not agree!
But this guy still pretended to be reluctant and said: "Well, now that I have come to this, even if I suffer heaven's punishment, I, Liang Ming, am willing to fight!
However, General Long, can you please write a letter to the Shenlong Sect right now and ask them to recommend me to join the cabinet?"
"Why? Don't you believe me?" Long Xuanji grabbed Liang Ming and lifted him up.
Feeling his body hanging in the air, Liang Ming struggled for a while. It was not that he did not believe Long Xuanji.
He felt that once Long Xuanji went to cause trouble for Qin Chuan, he would fall into a trap.
Whether she can leave Qian Kingdom alive in the future is a question.
How can we guarantee that he will be recommended to the cabinet?
But he didn't dare to tell the truth, he began to be tough: "General Long, don't worry about whether I believe it or not, I just want a safe situation. If you are willing to write a letter now, I will help you!
If you don't want to, then kill me!"
Long Xuanji didn't expect to be outwitted by Liang Ming.
Although she was angry, she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she immediately smiled and said, "Okay, I will write you a letter now and ask them to recommend you!"
Liang Ming felt relieved when he saw Long Xuanji finished writing it and gave it to Meng Su to send it away.
He immediately summoned his men, promised them generous rewards and asked them to stay, and continued to so-called gather information about Xiliang City.
In fact, this guy asked his subordinates to tell Qin Chuan about Long Xuanji's plan and the fact that Shenlongmen had sent six grand masters to intercept Qin Chuan on the road to the imperial capital of Qian Kingdom.
It was already dusk when Qin Chuan received the news.
He and the defenders were still cleaning up the battlefield.
There was still a sea of fire outside the city in the morning, but now it has been cleaned up by the defenders, and all traces of the gunpowder explosion have been removed.
The soldiers like Shen Yang who followed beside them never thought that everything in front of them was man-made. The more tragic the battlefield was, the more they felt that it was God's blessing on Qian and God's punishment on Qi.
This time, not only did Qi lose 80,000 vanguard troops, which frightened them into retreating, but the defenders also gained a lot of spoils.
Especially the iron armor worn by the Iron Armored Army was exactly what Qian State had always dreamed of.
Shen Yang and other soldiers were already grinning from ear to ear.
When Qin Chuan saw the contents of the note Qingyue sent him, he couldn't stop smiling.
He was actually a little worried that after seeing the tragic situation today, Long Xuanji would be frightened and retreat with the Qi army.
Now it seems that he still underestimated Long Xuanji's hatred towards him.
Since you are looking for an opportunity, take action against him.
Then he gave them a chance!
He immediately whispered something in Qingyue's ear.
An hour later!
It was completely dark.
The military camp that originally housed 300,000 troops is now empty.
Long Xuanji was heartbroken when she thought about the 80,000 vanguard troops who died in Xiliang City.
She was also heartbroken when she thought that Long Lei and Grandma Yinhua were still being controlled by them.
Of course, in order to attack the city, she chose to ignore the peace of mind of Long Lei and Granny Yinhua.
But she did not do this for her own selfish interests. She had to make the choice for the benefit of their Qi State.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
Just when she was about to explode, Liang Ming brought good news: "General Long, the traitor in Xiliang City has sent a message. Now that the crisis in Xiliang City has been resolved, Han Li will go to the volcanic hot springs in Shaoshan in three days to restore his internal strength!"
"Great!"
Long Xuanji finally had the chance to vent his anger.
She immediately summoned a thousand soldiers who were willing to follow her and prepared to sail overnight to bypass Xiliang City and head to Shaoshan.
Although it would waste a lot of time, three days would be enough for her to reach Shaoshan, and also for the six great masters from the Dragon God Sect to reach Shaoshan.
In her opinion, since her opponent no longer has any internal strength, there is no reason for her to fail!
Seeing that they were about to leave, Liang Ming decided to slip away and then go to Xiliang City to find Qin Chuan to ask for the antidote.
Long Xuanji had no intention of forcing him to stay, and the two went their separate ways.
After making sure that they had left by boat, Liang Ming took advantage of the night to have his people inform Qin Chuan that he was going to Xiliang City to request a meeting.
Qin Chuan sneered when he heard the news.
Liang Ming wanted to take credit, get the antidote and escape.
It’s a pity that Qin Chuan just wanted to use him, and now he has been used up.
Then the next day will be Liang Ming’s death.
Half an hour later, Qin Chuan and Qingyue went out of the city to personally welcome Liang Ming.
Liang Ming was overjoyed to see Qin Chuan coming in person. He thought Qin Chuan valued him very much.
Who would have thought!
After Qin Chuan met them, he chose to take action without saying a word.
Qingyue killed all his men in one breath.
"General Han, do you want to cross the river and destroy the bridge?" Liang Ming was terrified.
"Yes, your value has been fully utilized, so naturally this general will take your life." Qin Chuan said with a yawn.
"No, you can't kill me!" Liang Ming kept backing away.
"You are of no use anymore. Why can't I kill you? Do I have to let the tiger go back to the mountain?" Qin Chuan said with great regret.
"I am still useful! I really am still useful. Long Xuanji has written a letter to Shenlongmen, asking me to join the cabinet!
If I enter the cabinet, I will control many powers. I can act as a traitor and help Qian State obtain Qi State's secrets!
You can also help Qianguo secretly!" Liang Ming said as he knelt down.
Qin Chuan originally wanted to kill him, but after hearing what he said, he felt reluctant.
He heard from Lin Shishi that the Qi court was divided into the Inner Cabinet and the Outer Cabinet.
The establishment of the cabinet was a method used by Qi Emperor Qi Yunxiao to fight against powerful ministers, and he eventually successfully undermined the ministers' power.
In order to ensure that power remained in his hands, the cabinet was retained.
Any minister who enters the cabinet enters the core of power of the State of Qi.
Even though his official position was not high, he could still enjoy great glory in Qi State, and even the prime minister of the outer cabinet had to show respect when he saw him.
If this person enters the cabinet, he can indeed convey to them many secrets of Qi State.
It will definitely be of great use if we conquer Qi in the future.
