I, Yang Guo's son, abducted Zhang Sanfeng and traversed countless worlds.

Xu Maogong was very pleased. It was different now that there was an external enemy.

Li Mi is a man who can share adversity but not wealth. So this is normal. Only with external pressure can he be urged to do normal things, like a normal person, and not do anything like a tyrant.

Upon hearing that Li Yuan was heading eastward, Li Mi hurriedly summoned all his ministers to the palace to discuss matters.

"What do you mean we are the third?" When Xu Maogong arrived, he heard Pei Yuanqing's angry voice coming from the hall: "I don't believe what Luo Shixin can do. I'm going to beat him to death!"

"Little Pei, what are you doing?" As Xu Maogong entered the room, he saw Pei Yuanqing fully armed and waving a hammer in both hands. He was frightened by Li Mi and hid in the corner, looking weak, pitiful and helpless.

"I'm going to beat those damn Hou Tu King's army to death. Just listening to their name, it sounds so unfashionable. Those three guys must be cowards who are just swindlers!" Pei Yuanqing was very angry.

"Stop making trouble. Let the emperor crawl out from under the table first." Xu Maogong pointed at Li Mi.

"Ahem." Li Mi saw Pei Yuanqing stop swinging the hammer, straightened his clothes, stood up from under the table, walked to the center as if nothing had happened, and patted Pei Yuanqing on the shoulder.

"I think what Xiao Pei said is right. They are all vying for the position of leader. Take Wagang for example. Ever since I, Duke Xuangan, started the uprising against the tyrant, we have always been the first in the world. Later, we were strong in military and horses, and we were the first to rebel against the king. Now they are leaving us aside and talking about the position of leader. Isn't this bullying? Military Advisor, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty is right." Xu Maogong agreed with Li Mi's decision. "We should fight this war to make a name for ourselves. But..."

"What do you mean, Old Xu, you don't have confidence in me?" Pei Yuanqing pointed a silver hammer at Xu Maogong's nose: "Do you believe I can hit you?"

"It's good that you have confidence." Xu Maogong sighed in his heart, thinking what sin I have committed, why am I working with such a group of reckless people, if I am not careful, my life may be in danger.

"Okay, then it's settled." Li Mi slammed the table and said, "The Hou Tu army said that Yang Guang must pass through Siping Mountain when he goes south to Yangzhou by water. This is the best opportunity to capture him. If we can capture the tyrant, let alone the leader of the alliance, we can become the common leader of the world, the emperor of the new dynasty! General Pei, please!"

"What do you mean?" Shan Xiongxin exploded, "Li Mi, you are not going to the anti-king alliance?"

"Hey, what you said is, I am the emperor, and this Wagangzhai base camp still needs me to guard it..."

"You're guarding the shit!" Shan Xiongxin came up and slammed the dragon desk and cursed:
"Now the main forces of all the forces in the world are going to Siping Mountain for a meeting. What are you staying at home to guard? Who would take the opportunity to attack Wagang? Even if someone takes the opportunity to attack Wagang, we can capture the tyrant and how many Wagangs will we have?"

"Shan Xiongxin, you!" Li Mi widened his eyes and glared at Shan Xiongxin: "I advise you not to go too far, I am the emperor!"

"Fuck your uncle's emperor, you have nothing, and you became the emperor first?" Shan Xiongxin cursed angrily: "We are fighting hard on the front line, and you let Pei Yuanqing rush forward while you hide behind? Then who is the emperor of Wagang? I think Pei Yuanqing should be the emperor!"

"Well, I think it's okay." Pei Yuanqing was still joining in the fun: "But there is one thing about me being the emperor. I am different from Li Mi. I have a father, and I have to let my father be the emperor."

"Get out of here!" Shan Xiongxin could no longer bear it. "Is there any normal person left in Wagang Mountain?"

"Look at you, you don't know how to be funny." Although Pei Yuanqing was much stronger than Shan Xiongxin, he knew that it was time to talk about serious matters, so he stepped aside awkwardly.

"Li Mi, just tell me straight, are you going to the alliance meeting or not?" Shan Xiongxin asked, pointing at Li Mi's nose.

"Bullshit, wasn't what I said just now straightforward enough?" Li Mi was also angry. It was Shan Xiongxin again. This group of people relied on their seniority in Wagang to act arrogantly. Aren't they just relying on the fact that they are old people from the era of Zhai Rang? They have no respect for me, the emperor!
He had long been unhappy with this group of people. Li Mi came from the imperial court, where he was most particular about the distinction between high and low. However, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke were all the leaders of the underworld gangs, with all the habits of the underworld. In Li Mi's view, this group of stinking thieves was simply insulting the value of the word "imperial court".

Which emperor would go to the battlefield in person? Don't you know whether the son of a rich family would sit in the hall? If I am finished, who among you wants to be the master of Wagangzhai? Do you intend to murder me and become the emperor yourself?

I have killed Zhai Rang, you bunch of stinky thieves are nothing!
Thinking of this, Li Mi said with a fierce face: "I am the emperor, my words are golden, and what I say is the imperial decree. Can the imperial decree be changed?"

"This is the first time I've seen someone describe being afraid of death and fighting for power in such a refreshing and refined way." Shan Xiongxin sneered, and without further ado, he turned around and left with a group of brothers, "Let's go. Let this tyrant hide in the deep palace and enjoy himself!"

"Fuck you! These filthy thieves!" After Shan Xiongxin and his men walked away, Li Mi dared to kick over the dragon desk and said, "Shan Xiongxin, I swear to kill you!"

"Brother Shan, what do you mean?" Pei Yuanqing looked at Shan Xiongxin in confusion: "Are we rebelling against Li Mi?"

"You kid..." Shan Xiongxin was speechless. No matter how he argued with Li Mi, it was just a difference of opinion, not an internal party struggle. At least that was how he thought. How could they just fight each other? Even the underworld would be despised for doing such a thing.

"Let's go to the alliance first. No matter what, we'll come back after we win the battle."

Originally, those in Wagang who were dissatisfied with Li Mi were the brothers in the Green Forest Road, led by Wang Bodang, Xie Yingdeng and others. However, the two leaders, Shan Xiongxin and Wang Junke, suppressed them and tried to mediate with Li Mi, acting as peacemakers.

But during this period, Li Mi's actions became increasingly cruel, and his subordinates became more and more dissatisfied with him, and the disputes became more and more serious. Several times, Li Mi was so angry that he wanted to tie up and chop off the gang of outlaws.

At this time, as the eldest brother, he couldn't just watch his brother who spoke up for justice being chopped off by Li Mi. Shan Xiongxin told Li Mi directly that they were no longer bandits on the green forest road, but a force with a legitimate emperor.

If those little brothers had really done something wrong, Shan Xiongxin would not protect them no matter how close he was to them. But they were speaking out and speaking out, and they were all good words. How could an official be beheaded for giving advice? Those who did that were all tyrants.

With Shan Xiongxin's background in Wagang, not to mention anything else, all the main generals were his younger brothers. The military power was nominally in the hands of Emperor Li Mi, but in reality everyone only obeyed Shan Xiongxin, the eldest brother.

The people he wanted to protect were naturally protected, and even Li Mi's words were useless.

After several times of this, Li Mi was naturally unhappy. So the main contradiction between the Wagang monarch and his ministers shifted to Li Mi and Shan Xiongxin. Li Mi had no intention of opposing Shan Xiongxin. After all, Shan Xiongxin was very powerful. He wanted to control the power first, sideline Shan Xiongxin, and then let him gradually fade out of the court.

What about Shan Xiongxin? Naturally, he did not think of arguing with Li Mi. It was he who made the decision himself, and after Zhai Rang's death, he recommended Li Mi to be the emperor. But there was nothing he could do. He was the eldest brother of a group of younger brothers, and there were a group of younger brothers behind him waiting for him to make the decision. He had no choice but to confront Li Mi.

"Wagang is in danger now." Xu Maogong whistled and got into the carriage.

"Military Advisor Xu, why aren't you in a hurry at all?" Pei Yuanqing looked at Xu Maogong. "The emperor and the military leaders are now at odds with each other. Not to mention you, even we warriors can see that something is wrong. Why are you still so relaxed?"

"Of course. With Master Xu's brain and his great strategies, how can he not make a living? Even if I am captured by the imperial army now, Yuwen Chengdu will not dare to kill me. Yang Guang will still use me."

Xu Maogong said while lying in the carriage: "It is said that Master Xu is the reincarnation of Wu Hou, who came to fulfill his long-cherished wish. Even if it is true, Master Xu is different from Zhuge Wu Hou. Wu Hou wanted the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and it didn't matter if he was the prime minister or not. He would even be happy if he could not be the prime minister. Master Xu is different. Master Xu only wants to be the prime minister, and it doesn't matter who is the emperor."

"Good job, Master Xu, you do this." Wang Junke gave Xu Maogong a thumbs up outside, "Your level of shamelessness is rare in our underworld."

"That's right. What's the point of having face? Go to Chengdu and see that the Wuhou Temple includes the Zhaolie Emperor Temple. He is famous in history, but it's a pity that he only lived to be fifty years old. Throughout his life, he was only the prime minister of a local emperor in a state. What's the point of that?"

Xu Maogong leaned against the wall of the carriage, and suddenly poked his head out of the window and asked, "Hey, who among you wants to be the emperor? Do you want me to help you plan? Don't worry, Master Xu has at least 200 strategies to make Li Mi disappear silently and ensure that the power transition in Wagang will not cause any disturbance."

"Brother, please calm down." Shan Xiongxin was convinced. Among the group of people who swore brotherhood at Jialiulou, Xu Maogong was the oldest and the eldest brother, but he was the most unreasonable. The key point was that he was the smartest and no one could beat him.

"Well, I can only say that you missed a good opportunity." Xu Maogong retracted his head.

When the Wagang group arrived, Siping Mountain was already filled with various rebel kings.

A long time has passed since the whole country rebelled. Some rebel kings have gained a lot of benefits during the rebellion. Their power has expanded greatly and they have truly become local lords that the imperial court cannot do anything about.

But some rebel kings, because their development was not smooth, or because they fell into a trap, or because they were targeted, or because they were unlucky, they ran into Yuwen Chengdu.

Some of these rebel kings gave up their thrones after suffering great defeats, while others died on the battlefield. The forces of the rebel kings merged and split, resulting in a major reshuffle.

Coincidentally, after being integrated today, there are still eighteen rebel kings, but they are no longer the same as they were back then.

The 18 rebel kings were Li Mi of Jinyong City, who called himself the King of Western Wei; Bo, the King of Jining, who called himself the King of Zhishi; Tang Bi of Jinan, who called himself the King of Jinan; Liu Wuzhou of Shanhou, who called himself the King of Dingyang; Li Zitong of Hebei, who called himself the King of Fengming; Zhu Can of Bozhou, who called himself the King of Nanyang; Gao Tansheng of Xiangzhou, who called himself the King of Baiyu; and Meng Haigong of Caozhou, who called himself the King of Songyi.

Xiao Xian of Jiangling was called King of Liang, Li Gui of Liangzhou was called King of Great Liang, Zhang Jin of Mingzhou was called King of Qi, Xu Yuanlang of Yanzhou was called King of Lu, Shen Faxing of Suzhou was called King of Shangliang, Gao Shida of Chuzhou was called King of Jizhou, Lei Dapeng of Huguang was called King of Chu, Wang Shichong of Henan was called King of Luoyang, Dou Jiande of Xiazhou was called King of Xiaming, and the King of Shatharakhu was called King of Turks.

Including the newly emerged Hou Tu King’s army, there are a total of 19 rebel kings.

When he arrived at Wagang, Li Jiancheng was surrounded and bullied and humiliated by the eighteen rebel kings.

There is no way. Other families are from rebellious backgrounds, but your Longxi Li family is a prominent family. The head of the family, Li Yuan, is Yang Guang's cousin. It is difficult for the various rebel kings to not be hostile to the Li family.

It would be fine if Li Yuan came personally with all his troops, but the problem was that Li Yuan felt that he might suffer a defeat at this meeting, so in order to preserve his strength, he only allowed brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji to come with their troops.

Without the military support of a powerful general, he naturally became the target of bullying by everyone.

Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji also tried to resist, but were kicked back by the enemy's fierce generals. Although they were also generals who fought on the battlefield, they were also skilled in martial arts.

But it can only be said that he is mediocre. He does not lag behind in battle, and he is not like a waste like Zhu Qizhen who was kidnapped and sent to study in a foreign country. But compared with the top generals under this group of rebel kings, he is simply not on the same level.

Even with this group of people, it is not easy to deal with them based on the fighting power of Qin Qiong, the youngest of the Thirteen Heroes.

Among the seventeen top generals of the rebel kings, Qin Qiong could easily deal with one or two of them; if there were five or six, Qin Qiong would have a hard time; if there were eight or nine, Qin Qiong could barely escape with his life; if seventeen of them rushed forward at once, Qin Qiong would be killed without a burial place.

Not to mention the Li Jiancheng brothers.

I could only squat on the ground, weak, pitiful and helpless, being mocked by the crowd and occasionally punched and kicked. I didn't dare to resist at all.

"Who is that? Why does he look so cowardly?" Pei Yuanqing saw him from afar and asked Shan Xiongxin who was standing next to him.

"Who could it be? The two sons of Li Yuan." Shan Xiongxin was also born in the green forest and was not the same kind as these aristocratic families. He said contemptuously.

"Humph, even though these two are cowards, what kind of ability do these lousy rebel kings, seventeen of them, who are top generals, have to fight against two people?"

Pei Yuanqing couldn't bear to watch: "Just look at this group of rabble, you can imagine what level their leader is, kill him with a hammer, and wait for Yang Guang to be captured after a while, and our Wagang will have a direct ending and rule the world."

"Hey, wait a minute..."

Shan Xiongxin stretched out his hand to pull, but he pulled nothing. Pei Yuanqing rushed forward, holding up a pair of eight-petal plum blossom silver hammers, and shouted: "It's nothing to bully the few with the majority. Do you dare to fight with me?" (End of this chapter)
