Alien Lord

One is a general who has been at war with the barbarians all year round, the other is a eunuch in the palace, one is a subordinate who wants to use military exploits to achieve certain goals, and the other is a eunuch who wants to help the emperor eliminate officials who threaten the throne. However, their relationship is not harmonious because of their natural hostility, which has even led to deep conflicts among themselves and their families.

For example, Zhou Jian, that is, General Zhou above, was born as a commoner. With his military exploits and the support of Liu Lei and Marshal Liu, it was very difficult to achieve the position of general.

Among them, the emperor even made a moth in the middle of the three times, and almost wiped out General Zhou's army a few times, just like the evacuation just mentioned. will turn into a rout.

Therefore, Zhou Jian hated the emperor a lot, and it can be said that he has no loyalty at all. He is only loyal to Marshal Liu Lei.

And Hu Li was born as a eunuch. He grew up in the palace since he was a child, and later served him by the emperor's side. Compared with Zhou Jianna, he is much stronger, and his own strength is also due to the careful cultivation of the royal family. He is now a top powerhouse in the early stage of the Supreme Grand Master. It can be said that he is the absolute confidant of the emperor.

When the current emperor ascended the throne, the two parties had some filth, and then because of power disputes, the contradiction between the two factions became more and more serious, and it has continued to this day. Every time they meet, they have to sneer at each other.

"Zhou Jian, Hu Li, your quarrel can be put back after you go back. Now you are surrounded by people from other countries. As the important ministers of the Northern Shu Kingdom, how is it proper for you to quarrel like this here!" The uniform frowned and scolded.

Liu Lei, as the marshal of the Northern Shu Kingdom, was the commander of this trip. Even Hu Li, the great eunuch, wanted to kill Liu Lei directly in his heart. Now Liu Lei put down his company and scolded him, but he didn't dare to cause trouble.

As for why Hu Li is so hostile to Liu Lei, this is actually a power dispute between the emperor and Liu Lei, the powerful marshal.

In fact, Liu Lei did not support the current emperor from the very beginning, or in other words, he never supported the prince, he only listened to the emperor of Beishu Kingdom.

Such behavior, when the old emperor was still there, Liu Lei had no problems at all, and because of this, he was deeply trusted by the old emperor, but he directly won those princes.

It's just that Liu Lei was the old emperor's confidant at that time, so these princes dared not speak out.

Just like Zhou Minghao, the current emperor of Northern Shu Kingdom,

When he was the prince, he wanted to win over Liu Lei many times, but every time he was mercilessly rejected by Liu Lei. Since then, there has been some embarrassment between them.

Afterwards, the old prince ascended to heaven. Because of his sudden death, he didn't leave any will at all. In the end, a desperate competition was launched among the nine princes.

At this time, Zhou Minghao still contacted Liu Lei several times, but in the end Liu Lei still rejected him because he didn't want to participate in the battle for the throne.

Nine kings competed for the throne, and in the end only one could inherit the throne, that is to say, the other eight princes would not end well in the end.

And if Liu Lei gets involved, he will be the one who attacks the other eight princes.

The emperor can't have the notoriety of killing his own brothers, so this notoriety can only be borne by a courtier named Liu Lei.

It's just that in this way, Liu Lei's final ending will not be good.

Killed the seven princes, whether it is the royal family, or the royal ancestors behind these seven princes (those royal powerhouses who live in seclusion in the secret realm of the royal family), they will not let Liu Lei, the courtier who killed the prince, be spared.

After that, the emperor can push Liu Lei out smoothly. In this way, the threat of Liu Lei, a powerful general, can be removed. At the same time, he can use Liu Lei's head to calm other people who are dissatisfied with the death of the seven princes. The grievances of some people can even use Liu Lei's head to deter other generals.

It can be said that this is definitely a good thing that kills three birds with one stone.

Liu Lei saw everything clearly, so even if Zhou Minghao came to form an alliance in person, he would avoid it.

Forming an alliance with Zhou Minghao, on the surface it seems that Liu Lei will have a bright future, but in fact, when Zhou Minghao ascends the throne, Liu Lei's end will come.

Not forming an alliance with Zhou Minghao would really have too many benefits for Liu Lei.

One is that without his support, the possibility of Zhou Minghao inheriting the throne would be much smaller. Maybe he is one of the seven princes who will die in the future.

If this is the case, Liu Lei will not need to face Zhou Minghao's threats in the future.

Of course, if Zhou Minghao really ascended to the throne and became the emperor of Beishu Kingdom, Liu Lei was not afraid of Zhou Minghao's turning against him.

Because now Liu Lei is in power, and his army of five or six hundred thousand is his strongest guarantee against Zhou Minghao.

Zhou Minghao was newly ascended to the throne, so he absolutely didn't dare to deal with him, because his strength was definitely at a loss when he was against the other seven princes, and he didn't have the strength to deal with Liu Lei at this time.

Under such circumstances, once Liu Lei rebelled, his throne would be lost.

In fact, this is also the case. After Zhou Minghao ascended to the throne by luck, his subordinates lost seven or eight layers of strength due to the fight with the other seven princes, leaving only superficial strength, which will be able to protect his own. Threats, how dare to provoke Liu Lei, a powerful and powerful general.

In the end, in order to please Liu Lei, or hold Liu Lei down, Zhou Minghao even directly named Liu Lei as marshal, which greatly increased the strength of Liu Lei's subordinates.

When Zhou Minghao slowed down and his strength increased greatly, when he wanted to deal with Liu Lei again, he suddenly found that he was even more unable to deal with Liu Lei now, because now he was not Liu Lei's opponent at all.

With the title of Marshal, Liu Lei's strength has increased several times compared to before.

However, Zhou Minghao is obviously unable to deal with Liu Lei now, but secretly, he is trying his best to eliminate the strength around Liu Lei.

Among them, the eunuchs under him are his best helpers.

This time, Hu Li would come out with him. In fact, he was also monitoring Liu Lei, fearing that Liu Lei would gain some powerful power here in Xingyue City and threaten Zhou Minghao.

"Yes! Marshal Liu!" Zhou Jian and Hu Li replied solemnly.

For example, Zhou Jian was Liu Lei's subordinate and was rescued several times by Liu Lei, so he absolutely obeyed Liu Lei's orders.

And Hu Li, although he is the emperor's confidant eunuch, but the emperor and Liu Lei's quarrel is only in secret. On the bright side, the two of them are very good, and Liu Lei's strength is now much stronger than the emperor's. Therefore, whether it was to pretend to be seen by others, or to stabilize Liu Lei, facing Liu Lei's scolding, even if it was Hu Li, he had to listen, and he still obediently obeyed his orders.

"Zhou Jian, do you think those two Jindan stage powerhouses are barbarians?" Liu Lei kept staring at Huang Quan and Lu Wanlin, with deep worry hidden deep in his eyes.

Yes, Liu Lei will check here, the greatest willingness is still because of Huang Quan and Lu Wanlin.

Although Huang Quan and Lu Wanlin have changed their clothes and hairstyles now, their fighting methods, weapons, and martial arts are all barbarian.

Especially when Huang Quan was fighting, his rampage with the sky-opening ax was completely like a barbarian. This was really impressive to Liu Lei, who had been fighting barbarians for twenty or thirty years. Deep, too deep.

In these 20 to 30 years of fighting, Liu Lei has seen many times the battle patterns of the strong barbarians, most of which are rampant battles with heavy weapons in hand. Now looking at Huang Quan, Liu Lei has some certainty in his heart .

"Marshal, I think so too!" Zhou Jian only realized now that the fighting style of the two Jindan stage powerhouses in front of him was indeed similar to that of the barbarian powerhouses.

"Marshal really has a good eye. If it wasn't for your reminder, his subordinates really wouldn't have realized this." Zhou Jian said with admiration.

"A barbarian's Jindan stage strongman?" Hu Li's face was also extremely dignified. Like Liu Lei, he also had some bad premonition in his heart.

"Hu Li, you have an elite team of spies!" Liu Lei said, turning to look at Hu Li.

"Marshal, what are you doing......"

Before the last two joke words were spoken, Liu Lei directly interrupted Hu Li's words.

"Hu Li, I'm not joking with you right now. I know the spies next to you very well, so it's useless for you to deny it now." Liu Lei directly exposed Hu Li's cover-up.

"..." Hu Li was completely speechless, and his heart was full of horror.

He does have a spy troop under his command, but it was established extremely secretly, and all the people who join are selected from the eunuchs who grew up in the palace. It can be said that absolute loyalty can be guaranteed, but, now Liu Lei actually knew.

"Damn it, who leaked this news, damn it, damn it!!" Hu Li roared crazily in his heart. In fact, his roaring was just to cover up his inner panic, because this spy team was targeting Liu Lei. , Now Liu Lei knows, that is to say, he knows everything in it, and he knows that all of this is hosted by him.

Thinking of how Liu Lei would deal with him in the future, and how he would look good to him, Hu Li began to tremble all over, and sweat poured down his forehead and back.
