Chapter 178: The King Without Grace
readx;? After getting the news of the siege of the rebels, Chen Shou's face immediately became very embarrassed, more precisely, he became very panicked, if the king of Nan was not in Xijin City now, maybe things could be better, although this happened very suddenly, but after all, Chen Shou also has a certain ability to deal with it. www.biquge.info But now Nanwang is in Xijin City, and Chen Shou just went to Araki City to suppress bandits. As a result, he had just returned from suppressing the bandits, but the bandits he had suppressed took the initiative to surround and kill them, which made Chen Shou's face not know where to put it.
Chen Shou looked at Nanwang with some concern, and found that Nanwang's face was indeed gloomy to the extreme, and the atmosphere in the general's mansion had fallen to the freezing point for a while. After watching it for a long time, Li Badao finally couldn't help it, and said directly: "It's not a matter if we are stunned here, why don't we go out first to see the specific enemy situation." ”
Hearing Li Badao's words, Chen Shou finally seemed to have found a chance to get out, and immediately said to Nanwang: "Lord Wang, wait here for a while, I will go out immediately to deal with those rabble outside the city." ”
King Nan snorted coldly and said, "Don't wait here, I just happened to go out with General Chen to see what kind of rabble dared to come and take the initiative to besiege the city." ”
Chen Shou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Nanwang's temperament is like this, no matter what happens, it will always be the first fault of his subordinates, and now these bandits are not made by themselves, when they were suppressing bandits in Araki City, those bandits really only knew how to escape, and they didn't have the courage to fight with them at all, who would have thought that now these people would dare to take the initiative to attack, after such a situation appeared, Chen Shou was the most confused.
It's just that he knows that he can't explain this kind of thing to King Nan at all, and King Nan also proves it with his actions. He didn't want to hear any explanation at all, and after striding out, Chen Shou could only immediately follow Nanwang and start walking out. Li Badao looked at Nanwang's performance, and couldn't help but feel a little funny. In fact, this matter is not much pressure for him. It's just interesting to look at these people in front of you.
Zu Liang didn't dare to speak at all now, especially after he engraved the second-order holy mark, Zu Liang completely broke off the idea of wanting to fight with him, and even the hatred that had been hidden in his eyes before had now disappeared, replaced by just dodging. As for that Han Lao. When he looked at himself now, his eyes were just full of doubts, and it was obvious that this old man really couldn't understand why he could engrave a second-order stigma so easily at such a young age.
Of course, Li Badao didn't bother to explain such a thing to him, after all, he met the God of Time and Space. Cultivating the Void Technique has led to the subtlety of their control of the mystical power in the space to an extremely high level, even if this kind of thing is said, they will not necessarily believe it, and even if they believe it, it will not make any sense, after all, the God of Time and Space will definitely not help them.
These two people who had been trying to oppose Li Badao just now have completely broken off the idea of continuing to oppose Li Badao, as for Zhao Qing and Kong Mei, the two of them are only showing great interest in themselves now. But because of the presence of King Nan, he didn't dare to say anything. But in fact, what Li Badao is most interested in now is this Nanwang. Before, when I just saw myself. On the surface, King Nan seems to be virtuous, but in fact, he hides a very stingy heart, to put it bluntly, this person basically has no kingly demeanor.
But in such a situation, Li Badao naturally didn't dare to say anything, but saw the performance of King Nan after learning that the rebels were besieging the city. Li Badao was really disappointed in this so-called county king. This is true for outsiders themselves, not to mention those who follow King Nan. Suddenly an enemy appeared. He didn't ask about it, and directly showed his disappointment with his generals. It can even be said to be angry, which is really quite unwise. Not to mention whether this matter is really related to Chen Shou, even if it is really related, if you really want to deal with the general and want to commit this kind of taboo when the enemy is current, you should also do it directly in the general's mansion.
But he showed anger on the one hand, and on the other hand, he didn't want to make a move on Chen Shou, so the result was that his anger appeared in vain, and in the end, he would only let his subordinates have a lot of resentment, and the final result was very likely that these people would deviate from morality, and it would be difficult to stand on the same front with King Nan in the future, this is the situation that Li Badao looks down on the most, and King Nan's royal methods are really too rough.
Thinking of this, Li Badao confirmed even more that he must not follow such a boss, if he messes around, Bao Buqi will be dealt with because of some strange problems, and he needs to carry a lot of black pots that should not be his responsibility. After all, doing things under Nanwang, everyone will watch Nanwang do it, Nanwang is the kind of person who likes to find excuses for others when he encounters things, how can his generals not be like this, if he joins in, the result is that once there is a problem, it must be himself, a newcomer, who will carry the black pot.
Li Badao is good at killing, not good at carrying the black pot, and he is too lazy to be in the company of such a group of people who are not very powerful.
When he was secretly thinking about this, Li Badao followed Nanwang and they also ascended to the strength of Xijin City. The city protection circle in Xijin City is also relatively good, and the most important thing is that even if the city protection circle is opened now, the Xuan Shi outside may not dare to rush in. The first point is that the battle between the Xuanshi needs to be resolved between the Xuanshi, whether there is a magic circle or not, there is only one way to end the battle, which is to completely make the opponent submit. Therefore, even if the city protection circle was broken, the Xuan Shi outside did not necessarily dare to rush in immediately, and they didn't know if there were other ambushes in the city.
However, when Li Badao saw this situation, he had his own thoughts in his heart, that is, he suddenly thought of the changes and development of the Luo Heaven Realm in the future, with the emergence of the great turmoil, with the battle of his demon hunting army in Taichu City, I believe that all the people in the Luo Heaven Realm who have begun to study the way of the battle array will no longer be able to hold it back, and begin to bring the way of the battle array to the surface, and from then on, the Luo Tian Realm will soon enter the era of fighting by the battle array. In this way, the importance of the battle array is self-evident.
And the army of Xuanshi who have the cooperation of the battle array. There are many times when you can't rely on the protection of the magic circle, such as the fire array that you arranged before, although the compound magic circle looks very good, and the effect of hiding in the fire array with the people of the demon hunter army against those giant beasts is indeed quite good, but the problem is that the enemy I encountered at that time was a giant beast. It's the kind of beast whose intelligence is not too high. In that case, the best method is the one that is powerful.
But the current situation is that the way of the battle array is to pay attention to the confrontation between the Xuanshi army and the Xuanshi army, if you confront the Xuanshi army, directly arrange a large fire array to make the other party stupidly rush in, and then let yourself be killed in the fire array, it is definitely impossible to achieve. Ultimately. That is, in the future, it is definitely impossible for one side to stick to the magic circle, and the other side will not be able to attack the magic circle for a long time, and the way of such a war will definitely be reduced, because more and more forces will know the power of the battle array, and the magic circle that can move is naturally much better than the dead magic circle.
Li Badao thinks so much. It's just that he can roughly confirm that there is no longer much need to study a large magic circle in the future, and that kind of large magic circle itself is quite complicated, although every high-level formation mage needs to take this step, but Li Badao will only do it step by step, and there will not be any too much refinement, after all, the way of the formation itself is broad and profound, and Li Badao thinks that the battle formation is important. Naturally, it is necessary to devote more time to the way of the battle formation.
Of course, as for what the future development will look like, Li Badao can't say that he can definitely predict it. Just for the time being, the way of the main offensive battle formation is absolutely correct. And now the more obvious point is that looking at the rebels outside the city, Li Badao can see at a glance that those people are definitely not guys who are proficient in the way of battle formations, just looking at their idle appearance, he knows that these people are indeed just a group of rabble, as Chen Shou said.
It's just that now Li Badao is very puzzled. I believe that this question is also what Chen Shou is also puzzled about, such a group of rabble, but there are only more than 10,000 people. It seems to be very majestic, but you must know that there are tens of thousands of defenders in Xijin City. Even if all of them take the initiative, the number is more than these people, especially the rebels will not cooperate with the battle array, but the Xuanshi in Xijin City still have the support of the city protection array. Under the elimination of each other's strengths, they naturally have more difficulty fighting.
Li Badao really couldn't understand that if these people really wanted to go against Nanwang's subordinates, why didn't they fight with them in the field when Chen Shou led his troops out to fight before, and even if they had a good grasp and judgment of the terrain, it was even possible to fight an ambush war, ambush warfare and a tough attack are definitely two completely different ways of warfare, and the degree of superiority and disadvantage must be completely different. If you can fight an ambush, why do you have to come and fight a tough battle as if you were sent to death?
This makes Li Badao feel very strange, but Li Badao also knows very well that if something goes wrong, it is a demon, and this kind of strange thing will definitely not happen for no reason, Li Badao is now engrossed in observing the rebels outside the city, and wants to see what is strange in it. In fact, this kind of thing is no longer any threat to Li Badao, after all, even if he starts a war, it is a big deal to join the war group to help fight, and now there are tens of thousands of friendly troops, at least these people will definitely not harm themselves when they fight, Li Badao is confident that there will not be too much danger in such a battle.
It's just that now Li Ba's relaxed mentality, Chen Shou doesn't have it at all, Nanwang's presence makes Chen Shou now timid, he doesn't know what to do in such a situation, Nanwang's biggest problem is that he obviously doesn't know how to deal with it, but he can't come up with any effective ideas at all, and the result is that those of them who are waiting for orders will be blamed in the end. But King Nan's sensitivity to power is extremely high, if Chen Shou directly opens his mouth to order a response at this time, King Nan will be even more unhappy, because in his opinion, orders can only be given by himself.
It is precisely because of this situation that Chen Shou and the others can only pretend to be deaf and dumb now, and dare not speak. After observing for a while, Li Badao didn't immediately see what was so strange about the rebels outside the city, and subconsciously looked at Chen Shou, wanting to see how he would deal with it. As a result, it was unexpectedly discovered that Chen Shou now seemed to be an idiot. It's completely in a daze, and I don't look at the battle situation, and I don't seem to be thinking.
Looking at Nanwang again, Nanwang is now holding the overall situation, as if he can make the most correct posture. But Li Badao also waited for a long time, and he didn't see any response from King Nan, until the rebels began to attack the city, and the defenders in Xijin City now seemed to be stupid, and no one responded at all. Thanks to the fact that there is a city protection circle now, otherwise I really don't know how much chaos would have happened now.
See such a situation. Although Li Badao didn't know the reason, he couldn't help but sigh. Thinking of the end, Li Badao simply said directly: "It's nothing, I'll go down first." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Badao walked away directly. Hear Lee's domineering words. King Nan seemed to suddenly wake up, and at this time he seemed to have finally seen the changes outside the city. Seeing this scene, King Nan immediately said angrily: "Chen Shou, why didn't you give the order to meet the enemy?"
Hearing Nanwang's words, Li Badao was somewhat stunned, but he was already able to understand what was going on. It seems that his decision not to join this force is really quite correct, if he follows these people here, there is absolutely no future. Just look at this so-called king, there is no king's demeanor at all, and more importantly, he doesn't have the temperament of a king.
Even an outsider can see it. Just now, King Nan completely looked like he wanted to grasp the overall situation, and all the generals under him could do was wait for him to make a decision, but who would have thought that King Nan was just in a daze, and then immediately threw the problem to Chen Shou after he came to his senses, and he still blamed him, which was really too ungraceful.
Chen Shou seems to have gotten used to this. After hearing Nanwang's reprimand, he immediately began to organize the Xuanshi to defend the city and start to defend the enemy, and Li Badao didn't have the heart to look at this kind of thing. Already planning to leave.
When he was walking, Zhao Qing actually caught up. See Zhao Qing. Li Badao was indeed very surprised. This little county lord's guard seems to be very smart, at least Li Badao can't see through this woman, but now Li Badao is quite clear that there is no need to entangle with this woman.
"Li Gongzi, go slowly. Zhao Qing chased after him and said.
The speed of Li Badao's feet was not slow, but he just looked at Zhao Qing with a smile and asked, "Is there something?"
"It's nothing, I just want to have a good chat with Li Gongzi. Zhao Qing naturally followed Li Badao's side, and did not feel the slightest discomfort because of Li Badao's fast walking.
"Oh, let's talk. Li Badao replied a little coldly.
Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, "Does Gongzi Li feel that there is no development in Nanjun?"
"What do you mean?" asked Li Badao.
"If Li Gongzi has no place to go for the time being, or if he doesn't have any plans, it's better to stay in Nanjun, in fact, I feel that the prince's suggestion is very good, now Gongzi's situation is a bit special after all, what we can do is to protect you secretly, and it can definitely keep you safe, even if you can't help you openly when you encounter enemies, you can still send a lot of people to help you pay attention to the situation secretly." You must know that the prince has been operating in southern Xinjiang for many years, and we can grasp everything here. As long as Gongzi can stay on our side, the Shen family and the Liu family are here, as long as there is news, we will help you find out immediately. Zhao Qing said to Li Badao very seriously.
Li Badao finally slowed down a little, and Zhao Qing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw such a situation. However, when Li Badao looked at Zhao Qing, his mind became more complicated. To say that Zhao Qing said this condition, in fact, Li Badao is really excited, after all, no one wants to be plotted all the time, if he can always receive news from the Shen family and the Liu family, even if he can't dodge, he can find a way to ambush them secretly. It's just that in this situation, Li Badao believes that even this bullshit Nanwang can't do it.
If it weren't for today's incident, Li Badao wouldn't have too many doubts, after all, Nanwang is indeed the king here. But now that something like this has happened, in Li Badao's opinion, with the ability of this king of the south, it is a joke to want to fully grasp the news of southern Xinjiang, especially his character, Li Badao definitely doesn't like to be with such a person. Just thinking of Zhao Qing, Li Badao felt that this woman was really scheming.
It seems that she has always cared about herself, but the meaning of the words is quite obvious, in fact, she just wants to recruit herself and join the power of the Southern King. It's just that this kind of thing obviously has nothing to do with her directly, after all, whether she joins or not, it's just a matter between herself and Nanwang, but Zhao Qing keeps lobbying like this, and the only explanation is that she still wants to ask for credit.
After all, King Nan said so much before, and he was not moved, if Zhao Qing persuaded himself to come in, the credit would naturally be not small. Thinking of this, Li Badao really planned to stay away from Zhao Qing. After all, in the face of such a scheming woman, Li Badao really has no good attitude, and the previous Liu Mei has made Li Badao suffer enough.
It's just that just when Li Badao was about to refuse Zhao Qing, the guards in the city suddenly began to exclaim. (To be continued)
