The Ashis are a very cautious race, and of course, if it weren't for caution, it would be difficult for a group of tens of thousands of people to survive in the middle of the country, where rogue thieves are rampant and wars are coming to an end.

However, the caution of the Ash has reached an almost perverted level.

Their prison is impressively underneath the Mansion of the Lord of my Ash City!

There are nearly a thousand soldiers stationed here, and the true god of the Ishi patriarch is guarding it, and it is estimated that those who enter this prison will not be able to escape from prison unless they have forbidden cultivation.

When Xing Tian stood in front of the City Lord's Mansion, he couldn't help but shake his head lightly when he looked at the black pressurized sergeant: "As for it, isn't it just a young man, you can use it like this?"

"This is not a simple boy!"

The patriarch of the Ash clan said with a solemn face: "Emperor, this young man does have the posture of a dragon and a tiger, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely!"

If it weren't for the thin small army of the Ashi tribe, let alone a team of 1,000 people, I would have wanted to station a team of 10,000 people here!"

Saying this, the Eichi patriarch pursed his lips and said, "What's more, there are not only that young man among the people detained here, but also many spies from the Dark Empire and the Great Abyss Empire!"

"Huh"

Xingtian's footsteps stopped abruptly: "The spies of the Dark Empire and the Great Abyss Empire, their hands have reached out to your territory?"

The current Xingtian is extremely sensitive to the other two empires.

"Not bad. ”

The Hisi patriarch said: "This is actually not a secret, long before you ascended the throne, the people of the two countries have been active in every corner of the central and eastern regions.

If nothing else, I estimate that there are still a lot of spies from the two countries in the vicinity of Ash City, not only us, but also the Primordial Ancient Land, It is no secret that the two countries began to infiltrate the central and eastern regions several months ago, so that this land is turbulent, and there are many spy wars in the open and secret, so far I have caught nearly hundreds of spies from the two countries, most of them have been executed, and some of the guys who seem to be more important have been taken into custody, interrogated every day, to see if they can pry something out of their mouths, but there has been no substantial progress so far, those guys are obviously all trained, they are dead soldiers of the two countries, and they will commit suicide when they have the opportunity。

Over time, I gave up, and as long as they didn't come into my city of Ash to cause trouble, I wouldn't bother to deal with them. ”

"It seems that I still underestimated Yu Jiang and Bai Wuchang, and my hand has long been stretched out to my territory. ”

Xing Tian looked at the Ash patriarch with a smile, and suddenly asked, "However, since they have come to you, are they really just carrying out spy warfare activities?"

I didn't send anyone to you...... Contact?"

The Ishi patriarch was stunned for a moment, and his face turned white as he was stared at by Xingtian!

Anyway, these emperors taboo this!

In particular, the Eichi are vassals of the Eternal Heaven, and if they come into contact with the other two rival empires, they are prone to suspicion!

Once you are suspicious, you are not far from death.

"Yes, indeed. ”

The Ash patriarch lowered his head and decided to tell the truth, and if he concealed it at this time, he would directly tell the Tulip Emperor that something was wrong with him, which was almost the same as looking for death, and it was estimated that the 300,000 troops outside the city would attack directly!

Xingtian let his army be stationed outside the city and did not allow soldiers to enter the city, which was to respect their Ish's autonomy, and to respect them!!

But if they collaborated with the enemy, would Tulip the Great still be so polite?

In the next second, the entire city of Ash will be burned to the ground!

"However, their envoy was killed by me, and I am not stupid and know what to choose. ”

The Ash patriarch looked at Xingtian, he knew that at this time, it was time for life and death, and he must be cautious: "Emperor, now in fact, as long as people are still sober-minded, they actually want to be next to the Eternal Heaven!"

After all, of the three empires, only the Eternal Heaven is the most powerful, and it has the most respect for us vassals, there are no ethnic chauvinists there, the four races live on an equal footing, everyone can enjoy the right to peace, and the politics are also enlightened, which is completely different from the other two empires.

Not to mention the Dark Emperor in the south who has now raised his butcher's knife against the vassals, even the Emperor of the Great Abyss in the west also said that fish and meat are fish and meat for vassals, and since the soldiers entered the central region, they have grabbed food at every turn, which is not the same as the treatment on your side, you not only give us military protection, but even have strong economic support, how can I agree to them?

What's more, Emperor Think, if I promise them, you will definitely raise troops to attack me, and it will take at least a few days to come to me from the south, but if you send troops from your northern defense line, your Thor's whip will set out in the morning, and the army will be able to come to the city at sunset, and he will not have time to rescue me, and I will have been destroyed by you!"

"I trust your wisdom and don't doubt you, don't be so nervous. ”

Xing Tian smiled lightly, and after giving the master of this Ash City a beating, he was silent for a moment, and then asked, "Well, how much else do you know about this?"

I mean...... In addition to the fact that Yu Jiang and Bai Wuchang's people have been active here, who else have they been in contact with?!"

If he is willing to ask this question, it means that Xingtian has regarded this short Ash patriarch as his own!

The Ishi patriarch is not stupid, on the contrary, he is quite smart, how can he not hear the closeness of Xingtian? Naturally, he should seize this opportunity to perform: "There must have been!"

Although the location of the city of Ash is very important, it contains the northern corridor and is the choke point to the north, if you want to attack the north, you must first take the city of Ash!

However, after all, we are a small clan, the whole clan is only tens of thousands of people, and the total number of sergeants is only a few thousand, and it is really not difficult to attack, so I am actually not too important among the various forces in the central region, it is good if I can win over, and if I can't win over, I will give up, and it will not be difficult to capture me.

Now, since the people of the Dark Empire and the Great Abyss Empire don't even let me go here, it can only mean that they must have been in contact with other people!

However, the emperor, according to his minister's shallow opinion, the other holy places and small clans must have refused!

Defecting to the South and the West, not only can we only be oppressed, but it is difficult to protect ourselves, we are far away from the West and the South, and it will take several days for them to come to our rescue, and you only need one day to destroy us!

Suffice it to say, as long as we weren't stupid, we wouldn't have come to their poor and tattered boat, which seemed to be majestic and majestic, but was already crumbling like a candle in the wind!"

Xing Tian nodded secretly.

"In fact, the small clans that are now attached to the other two empires are also a last resort.

Their hearts, in the north!"

The Hisi patriarch narrowed his eyes slightly, and chuckled: "After all, they have seen all your military and economic assistance to us, and in today's continent full of vicissitudes due to war, which country is not only enough to feed itself?

Compared with you, the remaining two empires not only do not take care of the vassals, but continue to draw food and other burdens from those vassal clans to supply the army, those small clans seem to be calm on the surface, but in fact, the internal emotions have long been excited, and the dissatisfaction with the two empires is also increasing.

They have wanted to take refuge in you for a long time, and their eyes are very red!!

It's just that their territories are too far away from you, and they are very close to the other two empires, once the war breaks out between you and the other two empires, it will take you several days to get to them, and the two empires will only take two days at most, and by the time you arrive, the two empires will already have set foot on them!"

Speaking of this, the Eichi patriarch suddenly clenched his fists at Xingtian and shouted: "Emperor, Your Majesty has a plan to offer, which can help you level the central part of the country, annihilate the million-strong army of the other two empires entering the central part of the country, and open up a territory of thousands of miles for you!"

Xingtian raised his eyebrows: "Say!"

"Bloom on both sides!"

The Ishi patriarch said softly: "Now, your two million army has all entered the central region, and the other two empires together are only two million troops, and you alone are enough to fight against them in terms of military strength, and the balance is balanced!"

But...... And what if you add the armies of our little clans?

In the entire central region, the combined army of our small clan is nearly a million!!

If you can get the complete support of our small clans, the balance of military power in the Central Continent will be tilted in your favor, and you can calmly annihilate their million-strong advance army, cut a big piece of meat from them, and kill them!

After all, they are burdened by the burden of grain and grass, and it is impossible for them to enter the central part of the country at once like you, and this is your chance!

Get the full support of all the small clans in the central part of the country, gain the absolute upper hand in military power, and then directly launch a general battle, seize the middle first, and kill their million-strong advance army!

With one victory in this battle, the three-legged balance will be broken, and your national strength will be raised to a higher level, showing a crushing advantage over the other two empires, laying the foundation for domination of the world!"

A two-sided war is a big taboo!

However, after hearing this bold strategic proposal, Xingtian fell into silence, and his eyes were terrifying!

Feasible!

This is Xingtian's evaluation!

Because the grain and grass can't keep up, Yujiang and Bai Wuchang are unable to put the whole country's army into the central battlefield at once, the consumption is too great, and it is easy to have a shortage of grain and grass, which is too dangerous, so the two sides are now only one million troops in the central region!

Combined, the two countries are only 2 million troops!

In other words, they may not be able to beat themselves together!

If you get the collective support of all the small clans in the Central Continent, you will get another million local troops out of thin air!

Three million VS two million!

Their own grain and grass are sufficient, and the other two countries are overstretched.

Can such an advantage be won?

If he can't win, he will be an idiot!

Xing Tian's heart set off a turbulent wave, and he was also impressed by this Ishi patriarch, and was silent for a moment before asking: "Do you have a proposition in your heart about how to subdue the central tribes!"

"It's already in the chest!"

The Hisi patriarch chuckled: "To put it bluntly, it's just eight words - first calm their hearts, and lure them to their advantage!"

"What does it mean to be at peace first?

Those who are still following the other two empires are just because their territory is close to the other two empires!

If...... What if you set up a permanent line of defense in the territory of our small clan in the central region and march straight in?

At that time, your land will be next to the territories of the smaller clans who have taken refuge in the other two empires!

Those little clans will be able to vote for you very safely!!

Because, if the other two empires attack them, you can support them at the first time!!

As for the question of whether or not we are willing to dedicate our territory to you and join the Eternal Heaven once and for all, I don't think you need to worry.

Please trust our sincerity, we are honored to be a race under the rule of Eternal Heaven, not a vassal nation!

It's safer, and it's good for all of us!"

Xingtian's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You are really a columnist!"

"The emperor praises falsely. ”

The Hischi patriarch chuckled: "After all, with your funding, we Hischi people will be able to fill their stomachs, and from the time you founded the country to the present, none of our clansmen have starved to death!"

Such a great kindness is remembered by every Ish, and I believe that the same is true of other small tribes!

Can you become a northerner...... We are honored!"

"Will have a better life in the future. ”

Xing Tian nodded, he has all the essence of scientific and technological civilization, and the grain production is naturally large, in comparison, the farming technology of the south and the west is too backward, the same acre of land, the grain produced by his side is three or four times that of theirs, and the grain and other materials are naturally sufficient, compared to the establishment of a prosperous city-state, the martial arts civilization is inherently inferior to the scientific and technological civilization!

This Ishi patriarch is indeed a longitudinal family!

There is no such talent on my side now.

There are fierce generals under his command, but there are not many Zongheng families, and they dominate the world, and these Zongheng families have a great role.

Thinking of this, Xingtian looked at the Ishi patriarch and asked, "Would you like to be a counselor by my side?"

The people around the emperor, that's cronies!

"Wow!"

The Ash patriarch knelt down on one knee and shouted, "This is my honor for Snow Ash, and my servants will die for their allegiance!"

Xing Tian laughed silently, and took the Xuanyuan Invincible Seven people directly into the City Lord's Mansion.

Everywhere they passed, the Ashi people saluted with gratitude on their faces.

If a person is virtuous, he can bless the world.

This person is definitely an emperor.

That's where rights come in.

......

The dark underground tunnel, deep and deserted.

On the left and right sides of the tunnel are prison cells, reinforced by laws, and imprisoned with iron cables engraved with the rules of the tunnel.

At the end of the tunnel, Xingtian finally met the tiger-like boy in the mouth of the Ash patriarch Snow Ash.

The young man seemed a little silent, his black hair was scattered, his eyebrows were like swords, his face was like a knife, his eyes were angry, his nose was like a hanging gall, and his mouth was square.

The whole person has a strong taste of aggression that only men have, which is very oppressive!

"It's so similar!!"

Xuanyuan Invincible behind Xingtian stared at the young man, and couldn't help but exclaim: "There are shadows of big brothers everywhere on his body!"

Not only Xuanyuan Invincible was shocked, but even Audella, Dragon Bone and others were incredible!

This young man and Xingtian when he was young are simply carved out of the same mold!!

In addition to not having the heaviness of Xingtian after a hundred battles and the power that belongs to the controller, it is simply the same mold as Xingtian, who was still very immature at the beginning!

Xingtian's own face also changed wildly, not only because of this young man's appearance, but also because of the other party's blood!

He smelled the pure dragon royal blood from the other party's body!!

The taste of that bloodline is exactly the same as his own!

The moment he saw the other party, Xingtian had already faintly determined one thing - this young man had a relationship with him!

Xingtian fell into thought.

At this time, the young man also raised his head and stared at Snow Ash with an unkind face: "Although I am here to inquire about your news here, I mainly want to make a little extra money."

I warn you to release me quickly, or my mother will definitely set foot in your small city when she leaves the customs!"

Snow Ash was about to speak, but was stopped by Xingtian.

Xing Tian looked at the young man deeply and asked softly, "Child, what is your name, who is your mother?"

At this time, the young man also noticed Xingtian, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he found that the other party was so similar to his appearance.

"The eldest husband will not change his name, he will not change his surname, Lao Tzu's name is Tuoba Zheng!

As for my mother's name, I won't say it, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death if I say it!"

The young man held his head high and was fearless, even if he was in the cage, he was arrogant and domineering, glanced at Xingtian, and asked rhetorically: "Who are you? Why do you look so similar to Lao Tzu." ”

"You're like me!

"You're like me, old bunny!"

"Boy owes a beating, doesn't he?"

"Don't stand outside pretending to be a calf, dare to let Lao Tzu out, believe it or not, Lao Tzu can beat your out. ”

“......”

A stunned scene appeared, the powerful Tulip Emperor actually quarreled with a child in prison!

"Big brother is crazy!?"

"Damaging majesty......"

"But this kid is really ruthless, in the era of the Heavenly King's absence, he was also the first to dare to jump out to challenge the Tulip Emperor. ”

Xuanyuan Invincible and the others kept muttering, this bear child was terrifying, and he dared to directly challenge Xingtian!

"Old rabbit cub, there is a kind of if you let me out, Lao Tzu will really beat you to death!"

The young man stood up and kept waving his fist at Xingtian through the cage: "Tell me who you really are, why are you so similar to Lao Tzu?"

"Little thing, do you know how to write filial piety?

And, it's you like me!"

Xing Tian was angry, raised his hand and nodded at the young man: "I'm your father!!

You don't have the surname Tuoba at all, your surname is Ji!

You don't call it a Tuobazheng either!

Your name is Ji Zheng, you can also be called Xing Zheng, this is your original name!!

Do you know that you are the only prince of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom in the north, and the crown prince of this huge empire!"

“......”
