Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 45: Fishing in troubled waters is so pleasant
In fact, what Ping Lili did just now was indeed intentional, with the purpose of making Qingluan look at her with new eyes.
She is determined to make Qingluan her friend.
One reason is Qingluan's extraordinary identity. Although it is still unclear what the mystery of Penglai Fairyland is, Pinglili can vaguely feel that it is a transcendent place. As a maid of Penglai Fairyland, Qingluan's identity is naturally self-evident. If such a person can become his helper in the future, perhaps it will be helpful for him to refine the heavenly stone. Maybe they even know the secret of the Suzaku Curse.
Secondly, it was Qingluan's consistent attitude towards him that made Pinglili feel that this woman was worthy of close friendship. After revealing her identity, Qingluan's attitude from beginning to end was neither humble nor arrogant, but calm and composed, with a frank look, neither flattering nor pretending to be noble. Pinglili subconsciously felt that such a person might be honest in her bones, or at least had her own set of rules in life. Such a person might be worthy of close friendship.
Although he knew that Qingluan approached him only on the orders of her master, Ping Lili always believed in the saying that humans are not plants or trees and so no one can be heartless.
Since Ping Lili even dared to snatch Mo Yi, she didn't believe that her sincerity could not impress a woman.
Since she had decided to make friends with Qingluan, it was reasonable for her to let Qingluan see her true strength. She knew that although Qingluan didn't say it, as a person from Penglai Fairyland, she must be arrogant. If an ordinary person wanted to make friends with her, she would not be in her eyes at all. If she wanted to impress her, she had to show some real ability!
Therefore, what just happened was a deliberate act by Ping Lili. As for the effect, only heaven, earth and Qingluan know it.
When Ping Lili easily wiped out the Kongming wizards who had set up the "Ghost Domain Magic Array" before, she discovered that the rebels who had originally surrounded them were now in chaos.
But Ping Lili looked around but did not see any trace of Li Ying.
As for the strange beast, it was nowhere to be found at this time. Gong Lili thought to himself, could it be that this cunning beast thought it was going to die when he was trapped in the "ghost realm magic circle" and just slipped away?
It would be fine if that fickle beast had escaped, but where did Li Ying go?
Just as Ping Lili was wondering, suddenly a rebel dressed in Fengyi Army uniforms rode a tall Dilong horse and rushed over desperately. Ping Lili was about to attack subconsciously, but heard the man shouting: "I am General Li Ying's guard soldier."
Only then did Ping Lili see clearly that the other party was indeed one of the one hundred elite soldiers who had followed her and Li Ying out of Yonghui City.
When the guard came closer and briefly described the previous situation to Ying Lili, Ying Lili realized that Li Ying was also a tough guy.
This story begins when Ping Lili and Qing Luan were trapped by the magic circle. Perhaps because they were certain that the two of them could not escape from the "ghost realm magic circle", the rebels quickly focused on encircling Li Ying and the First Battalion of the Fengyi Army that had already surrendered to Li Ying.
In addition to the Fengqi Army that was attacking the west gate of Yonghui City, the Fengyi Army on both wings mobilized three other battalions to encircle and suppress the First Battalion that surrendered to the enemy. In fact, at this time, it was unclear who should be called the real rebels.
Li Ying, the temporary commander of the First Battalion of the Fengyi Army, quickly realized his disadvantage. However, at this time, what he had to do was to fish in troubled waters!
Li Ying had long anticipated that the strange magic circle would not be able to stop Gong Lili. Just imagine, how could a wizard who could control the ancient ferocious beast Qiongqi be so easily trapped or even destroyed by some second-rate Kongming wizards?
Moreover, although His Highness did not mention it, Li Ying had already guessed the true identity of Ying Lili. His Highness's confidant, the female wizard of the Shamo clan, wasn't she the head of the Shamo clan five hundred years ago?
Therefore, Li Ying's confidence in Gong Lili is probably a hundred times greater than Long Yu's.
Therefore, he calmly judged that instead of worrying about Pinglili at this time, it would be better to do something more meaningful.
For example, disrupting the battle situation!
At this time, General Zhiguo was personally commanding the Fengqi Army to concentrate its firepower to attack the west gate. Li Ying planned to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and disrupt the Fengyi Army on both wings first. If there was a chance, Li Ying would not mind stabbing General Zhiguo in the back during the chaos.
So the Fengyi Army who wanted to encircle and suppress the First Battalion suddenly found it strange that the First Battalion commanded by Li Ying actually scattered like birds and beasts in an instant! And Li Ying himself, riding on the horse, led hundreds of people and fled to the east!
"You want to run away now?" Not far away, the general of the Fengyi Army who was galloping over secretly laughed at Li Ying's cowardice in his heart. The man who led the troops to encircle Li Ying was none other than Gu Li, the commander of the Fengyi Army. Originally, he was commanding the army on the right wing with his guards, ready to be on standby to attack Yonghui City at any time. However, he did not expect that someone suddenly came to report that the left wing was attacked and the first battalion turned against their side in the battle. Originally, he was quite nervous, fearing that if there was a riot here and it was out of control, it would ruin General Chiguo's good plan, and he would be in big trouble.
So he personally led the two battalions on the right wing to come to support, but when he saw that his army had just gathered, the first battalion scattered like birds and beasts. He actually became complacent, thinking that the other side was afraid of his large numbers.
This general named Gu Li was one of the very few generals in the Fengyi Army who was not bewitched by the poison, because he was originally a subordinate of General Zhiguo.
In other words, he played an indispensable role in the reason why General Zhiguo resolutely raised the banner of rebellion.
Because the Fengyi Army has been in an awkward position over the years. In terms of reputation, it cannot compare with the Yunqi Army under the command of General Zhuguo. In terms of status, it naturally cannot be compared with the Longyi Army directly under Long Yu. It is not even as good as the Longqi Army guarding the border. Although he also commands an army, his status is ranked last among the commanders of the various armies of the Ruoye Army. Naturally, he feels unbalanced.
Therefore, when the Kongming tribe offered him conditions to persuade General Zhiguo to rebel, he did not hesitate. People die for money and birds die for food. In the face of fame, wealth and power, there are always people who are blinded by profit.
However, since he had been following General Zhiguo in leading troops outside for so many years, he did not know much about the generals of the Longyi Army who had been guarding Yonghui City. When the siege was planned before, only General Nangong Wulie and Feng Yan had studied the generals seriously. As for the young middle and low-level generals like Li Ying, he knew very little. In addition, Li Ying was originally a very low-key person, not as brave as Mu Feng, nor as vicious as Cang Yun, and he was not very famous in the army.
Therefore, it was normal for Gu Li to underestimate Li Ying. Although some of his subordinates recognized Li Ying as the commander-in-chief of the third battalion of the Dragon Wing Army, Gu Li thought that this young general was nothing special. Although his Dragon Wing Army might not be in charge of siege for the time being, it would be a great achievement if he could take Li Ying's head and throw it under Yonghui City!
He made up his mind and immediately ordered the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Fengyi Army to encircle and kill the scattered First Battalion. He himself led several thousand troops to chase Li Ying who fled to the east.
They had just chased for less than a mile when the rebels behind were immediately dumbfounded.
Because after they surrounded the scattered deserters of the First Battalion, they suddenly discovered that after several rounds of fighting, everyone was mixed together.
At some point, the soldiers of the First Battalion threw away their flags and all the symbols related to the First Battalion. After several rounds of communication, no one could recognize who was who.
Now, it really becomes that you are in me and I am in you.
Because they all originally belonged to the Fengyi Army, wearing the same battle robes and the same equipment, and they all wore the same black armor and black helmets. There was originally no difference between them. Who could tell who was who?
And the most important thing is, because most of the Kongming wizards who had previously controlled their mental power were packed up and sent to the Ghost Realm Gate by Gong Lili, the Kongming tribe's poison technique had much less control over the remaining Fengyi Army. Most people were confused and like zombies.
They were simply executing the order they had heard before to wipe out the First Battalion. However, with their current IQ, they might not be able to judge who the members of the First Battalion were in this situation where you are in me and I am in you.
So, after an incense stick of time, the soldiers of the First Battalion, who had regained consciousness and had a clear advantage in IQ, successfully infiltrated the various battalions of the Fengyi Army.
The leaders among them were naturally the one hundred elite soldiers of the Dragon Wing Army that Li Ying had brought with him before!
This was a strategy that Li Ying had already formulated before dismissing them.
They had already changed into the uniforms of the Wind Wing Army, abandoned the 'Shu Si', rode the same Earth Dragon Horses, blended in with the rebels, and waited for an opportunity to strike.
Those elite soldiers trained by Li Ying had already known Li Ying's intentions. In the current situation, a strong attack would absolutely not work. These ten thousand people would only be killed facing the remaining ninety thousand rebels. However, if these ten thousand people mixed in with the rebels, fish in troubled waters and disrupt the situation, they could really tie down the nearly fifty thousand Fengyi troops. As long as they could disrupt them and make them have no time to attack Yonghui City, it would be the greatest victory for Li Ying and his men this time!
Although the soldiers of the First Battalion of the Fengyi Army were somewhat confused about Li Ying's intentions before, the well-trained Ruoye Army allowed them to quickly adapt to their new tasks. After all, on the battlefield, soldiers usually do not need to have too much personal will and only need to do what the commander intends.
After learning about Li Ying's intention from Li Ying's personal soldiers, Ping Lili couldn't help but sigh: "General Li Ying, you are indeed thoughtful ."
The current chaotic situation has already achieved the effect that Li Ying wanted, but I wonder what has happened to Li Ying himself?
I heard from this soldier that he had led a few hundred people and several thousand rebels all the way eastwards!
At this moment, Ping Lili began to worry about Li Ying, hoping that this calm and intelligent general would be safe.
