Chapter 224: Good intentions lead to bad results, the underestimated child of destiny

Tuoba Zhen was used to being invincible and had a problem with his brain; Li Chen didn't feel that the Empress also had a problem with her brain.

But coincidentally, the Empress really had thought so; she came to the front line and once proposed to fight Li Chen in front of the two armies to dampen the May Tian Ce Dynasty's spirit.

The Empress was inexplicably confident; anyway, she was invincible and undefeated in her own country, and that kind of unparalleled confidence made her not feel that she would lose to anyone.

But all the soldiers, including the National Teacher and the heads of other families, all advised the Empress not to do so; wasn't Tuoba Zhen's lesson profound enough?

Winning is a good thing, but losing meant losing the natural barrier of Holy Shancheng.

Hearing the soldiers say this, the Empress was angry for a long time, feeling that they were looking down on her.

The soldiers were also constantly explaining that it wasn't that they weren't confident in the Empress—the Empress was definitely invincible—but Li Chen was cunning, and who knew if he would play tricks; it wouldn't be good if the Empress fell into a trap.

They were also trying their best to take care of the Empress's emotions.

Not every emperor is so easy to serve.

The heads of the three clans who came to participate in the joint resistance also felt that this young Empress was a bit unreliable; didn't you ask us three clans to come to work together to resist the May Tian Ce Dynasty? Why are you going to duel?

If you really go and win, we won't say anything; if you lose, we will stab you in the back; don't regret it.

Anyway, we have said what we should say; if you don't listen to advice, it proves you don't care about our opinions at all, so how can we still work together with you.

After the soldiers persuaded her for a long time, the Empress finally agreed not to go and duel Li Chen, which could be considered letting Li Chen off.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking in their hearts that women are truly hard to coax, but it's fine if they listen.

Next were some tactical configurations and city defense arrangements; the soldiers judged where they would attack based on the characteristics of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's arms and adopted countermeasures and tactics.

And some soldiers mentioned that the Royal Court's 200,000 cavalry were very tricky and fearless of death, and their commander He Lan Xuan's fighting style was always so unexpected; this must be guarded against.

Next was the basic information of the May Tian Ce Dynasty's vanguard soldiers and their research on the fighting style of Guo Poyun, the commander.

Then to the configuration of the harmonic pulse arrays, tactics that could be adopted according to the characteristics of the demonic beast legions.

These were just simulations; once they reached the battlefield, the opponents would probably change their tactics.

Then they needed to think of a few more contingency measures.

The Empress listened to these soldiers talk for several hours and tried to interject; she felt she understood a bit, but the tactics she said were quickly denied by other generals.

Her mentality was a bit broken now; in her view, this was simply harder than breaking through to the Sage Realm; if she had known, she wouldn't have come.

How is war so troublesome? Can't she just lead the charge and directly defeat the opponent?

Or, she could just stand on the city wall, waiting for the May Tian Ce Dynasty to attack, and start a death battle.

It was fortunate she didn't say it; otherwise, all the soldiers would look at her with the eyes of looking at a fool.

Do you really think this is a fight between two villages, a group fight of hundreds of people? How can a total war be as simple as you imagine.

In ancient times, everyone had no tactics, no pulse arrays, no set of standard cultivation techniques, and weapon configurations couldn't reach uniformity.

So the wars at that time were all about looking at which side had more people, which side's cultivators were stronger, and leading the charge.

But later, intelligent leaders discovered that they could use traps, terrain, etc., to win with fewer people.

Immediately after, some people started using tactics, and through the combination of different arms, they could also win with fewer people.

Later on, some people developed suitable cultivation techniques for soldiers, making the pulse arrays resonate and significantly improving the soldiers' combat ability.

The human race is like this, constantly rolling in war, developing powerful weapons and tactics; those who fall behind will definitely be beaten.

The soldiers in the tent were still discussing, and the Empress couldn't listen anymore; she decided to come out to relax.

Coming outside the tent, she looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, thinking in her mind: Does the emperor of the May Tian Ce Dynasty consider so much every day and not get a headache?

What she didn't know was that Li Chen, who was also looking up at the sky, was considering another matter.

Perhaps in the Empress's view, the May Tian Ce Dynasty is a huge trouble.

But to tell the truth, Li Chen hasn't put the Sassan Dynasty in his eyes.

His goal is the myriad races he saw in his dream.

Among the myriad races, the human race can be said to be the weakest, but this weakest refers to the physical strength at birth; however, the human race can use wisdom to defeat other races.

The myriad races might not be convinced, because among them, there is no lack of guys with superb command.

But if you say that, the human race is definitely not convinced either, saying as if those who have the Holy Body among our human race are eating dry rice.

At the current stage, only Li Chen is preparing for the war of the myriad races, and only the three Venerables of the Star Moon Cave know about this matter.

Still the same sentence, Li Chen wants to seize the longevity resources of the Immortal Clan, so he must first solve the troubles around him, preferably achieving unification of the plane.

Occupying the Sassan Dynasty is just one step; this world is even broader than Li Chen imagined, and even many places have not been visited by Peng Zhao, who draws the maps.

Regarding how to develop, Li Chen actually considered predatory expansion, so that he could accumulate wealth in a short period of time and obtain a large amount of resources and markets.

That is, occupying all human resources and cultivation resources in places other than the May Tian Ce Dynasty.

Through war, seize and transport resources back to develop the May Tian Ce Dynasty, making the May Tian Ce Dynasty the center of the entire world.

But such long-term oppression will definitely lead to internal chaos, which is the plane war; those powerhouses who want to be kings and hegemons will take advantage of the situation to rise up, and by then, the entire plane will be reshuffled.

Didn't the Dayuan Dynasty perish because of this?

The Dayuan Dynasty treated everyone in the world as nutrients, accumulating countless wealth and resources to supply the royal family for development; at that time, the royal family's development was already at its peak, but it couldn't withstand the riots of the people of the world.

Li Chen has realized that the stable ruling method of the Li family is very obvious; for example, every city in the May Tian Ce Dynasty has a City Lord, a Prefect, and a Lin Chengjian.

The City Lord is a local, understands the local situation, and has prestige, which can better manage the local residents; the Prefect and Lin Chengjian are people sent by the imperial court, responsible for maintaining public order and also responsible for city defense, etc., which can help the imperial court manage this place.

This can achieve stability in a city while decentralizing power.

Li Chen did this when he occupied the Northern Royal Court, giving Huyan Lan a Khan to be; he is nothing more than a bigger City Lord; as for other aspects, the imperial court will definitely arrange people, and it is impossible to let Huyan Lan become the next Prince of Zhennan.

These are all small matters and don't need Li Chen to think about them personally; as long as they are captured, the ministers will naturally arrange them; this is their job.

People with different statuses naturally consider different things.

Li Chen at this level has already considered the future development of the human race and the war of the myriad races.

The Empress of the Sassan Dynasty is considering how to resist the May Tian Ce Dynasty's army.

The child of destiny, Xiao Ming, is considering: where is my mother!

Xiao Ming last time, with the help of Liu Hao and Li Ji, destroyed the Qi family and captured many people.

In the interrogation process these past few days, he learned about many things from many years ago. When the Wang family helped the Qi family destroy the Xiao family, they specifically pointed out that they could not harm Xiao Ming's mother and had to capture her alive.

Although the Qi family didn't know why they did this, they were enemies with the Xiao family, and with the help of the Wang family, they naturally easily destroyed the Xiao family, leading to the destruction of Xiao Ming's entire clan.

The Qi family occupied various resources of the Xiao family and, according to the requirements, handed Xiao Ming's mother to the Wang family; they really didn't know about subsequent matters.

Because the Qi family at this level was not enough to come into contact with Wang Tengyue and Wang Tengfeng.

They were just dogs following orders, so Xiao Ming wanted to find his mother and definitely had to investigate the Wang family.

Coincidentally, the Wang family has now been destroyed by the royal family, so it is not difficult to investigate.

Xiao Ming's status is a Ministry of Justice official, and his investigation authority is very high; he went directly to Yinshan City to investigate the remnants of the Wang family.

The new City Lord of Yinshan City was very cooperative, retrieving files for him, as well as some detained informants.

From the mouths of the informants, Xiao Ming learned of the Wang family's evil deeds, which made him want to skin Wang Tengyue and pull out his tendons.

With the destruction of the Wang family, many women detained by the Wang family were also rescued, which were some women from families.

!

But Xiao Ming investigated for a while, and his mother was not among these women.

However, these women provided intelligence that one day, the Wang family had been attacked, and some attackers rescued some women from inside; perhaps Xiao Ming's mother had already been rescued.

Xiao Ming came to the old site of the Wang family; when he first entered, he sighed: "The Wang family's territory is truly large."

His master, the Sage remnant soul, said: "Very normal; the Wang family developed for thousands of years, and the accumulated wealth is enough for your May Tian Ce Dynasty to fight the Sassan Dynasty."

As a Ministry of Justice official, he naturally entered the Wang family to investigate.

Now Xiao Ming is not alone; his subordinates have developed to twenty people, all of whom are good hands he selected from various places, and they are also very loyal to Xiao Ming, at least for now.

After a series of investigations, Xiao Ming's luck was heaven-defying; he found many traces in the woods outside the back door of the Wang family ruins.

Following these traces to search, he even found the corpses of the Wang family guards.

Besides this, there were also some ropes.

When Xiao Ming was observing the corpses of the Wang family guards, the Sage remnant soul analyzed: "These guards were defeated by a sword master, all killed with one strike; to be able to do this, at the lowest, it is the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, and it is also possible that it is the Sage Realm."

At this time, Xiao Ming's subordinates reported that they heard in a town along the river that the Wang family guards captured three women who intended to leave by boat, one of whom was roughly the same as the one Xiao Ming described.

Then it could explain why there were ropes here.

Xiao Ming judged that his mother should have been rescued by a powerhouse, so he inquired nearby if there were any people at the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, or Sage Realm experts, who met such requirements and had appeared.

Sage Realm experts are easy to find; anyway, there are only a few Sage Realm experts who have come out, and it will be found out quickly who is nearby.

But there is a fear of 'what if'; what if it's those hermits? It's really not easy for him to find.

As for the peak of the Heavenly Abyss Realm, actually there are not many, and you will know by inquiring carefully.

For the next period of time, Xiao Ming let his subordinates go to find clues, visit the powerhouses nearby, and ask if any sword masters had taken action during this period and rescued people from the Wang family.

Searching like this, there were really quite a few...

Most cultivators are sword cultivators, and there are many sects nearby; at that time, the imperial court issued tasks, and they even participated in the attack on the Wang family together.

When his subordinates were busy, Xiao Ming prepared to go to the neighboring Shanghe City to continue being Lin Yue'e's sycophant and wait for his subordinates' news.

Seeing this made the Sage remnant soul very angry, scolding him and telling him not to drop the chain at a critical moment; there might be clues nearby.

At this time, you should be normal; find your mother first; you have plenty of time to go and please Lin Yue'e.

Because the Sage remnant soul had started to be strict recently, Xiao Ming also listened to advice and didn't go to Shanghe City.

But precisely because of this, he missed the most important clue.

As long as he went to Shanghe City, with his luck, he would mostly likely come into contact with people from the Jiang family in Shanghe City.

Many people from the Jiang family had entered the palace, but Jiang Mo was still here, and those maids of the Jiang family were also still here.

Xiao Ming could have obtained key intelligence from these people's mouths.

Those maids of the Jiang family had seen Xiao Ming's mother.

Even if the luck wasn't that good, the Shanghe City supervisor Lin Yue'e would help him investigate, and then it would quickly be locked on to who rescued his mother.

After all, the Sage Realm expert who was active near Shanghe City at that time was none other than Li Chen.

The Sage remnant soul very much wanted to help Xiao Ming, but sometimes he also underestimated Xiao Ming's luck and intuition.

In the Jiang family of Shanghe City, Jiang Mo sat alone in the hall, enjoying the service of the maids.

As Jiang Rong's younger sister, Jiang Mo was very beautiful; she had a pair of cute twin tails, matched with a doll face and baby fat, giving people a pure and innocent feeling.

However, in sharp contrast to her cute appearance, her figure was tall, her chest was full and plump, and she swayed when she walked, exuding a unique charm that was both pure and lustful.

Because of her high talent, she was an inner disciple of the Yuxu Immortal Palace.

Her appearance conditions were very favored by the male disciples.

Now she is the head of the Jiang family in Shanghe City.

Young as she was, she took on a heavy burden; she wanted to rely on her own efforts to develop the Jiang family.

But she found that her efforts were useless; the Jiang family, even without her, was still operating normally. 【224-1

After all, when the elder sister left, she had arranged everything well.

The Jiang family in Shanghe City has the care of the imperial family and the care of Lin Yue'e, so there certainly won't be any issues.

In her view, her sister and family members must have gone to serve the emperor in order to protect the Jiang family's foundation, so she actually didn't have much of a good impression of Li Chen.

Because she felt Li Chen was too greedy; taking her sister alone would have been enough, so why take her mother and aunt as well.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mo felt it was better to cultivate diligently; only by becoming strong herself could she protect the Jiang family, and the Jiang family would sooner or later need her strength.

The reason she is resting in the Jiang family now is because she accepted a mission, waiting for the opening of the Demon Cave.

Then, by working with people from the sect to eliminate the demons in the Demon Cave, she could obtain certain opportunities!

Jiang Mo's poor impression of the imperial family is because there are anti-imperial figures in her team!
