Alien Lord

Hu Lita couldn't help being afraid, although the emperor and Liu Lei seemed to have a good relationship now, but in the eyes of sensible people, they already knew that the two sides were already in a state of complete hostility.

What I don't know is at what moment in the future, the two sides will return to a life-and-death battle.

As the confidant of the emperor Zhou Minghao, Hu Li is very familiar with the things involved, especially Liu Lei's fierce tactics against the spies sent by the emperor to him, Hu Li is also very clear, and now, Liu Lei knows that it is him In charge of these spies, for a while, Hu Li's whole body and mind were icy cold.

To be honest, under such a huge crisis, Hu Li really wanted to surrender. He is a eunuch, and things like loyalty can really be said to be a luxury, but when he thinks of his nephews, Hu Li's heart quickly calmed down, and he had better make some preparations.

"The emperor has found a good slave this time, you are good!!" Liu Lei beside him suddenly praised at this moment.

How could the change of expression on Hu Li's face be hidden from Liu Lei's eyes? Similarly, he was also aware of Hu Li's inner struggle, but what he didn't expect was that Hu Li would make such a choice in the end, which made Liu Lei feel sorry for Hu Li. Li, with such a tinge of goodwill.

Besides, this time he did have something to bother Hu Li, so Liu Lei let go of this matter for the time being.

"Thank you, Marshal Liu, for your compliment. This is what we should do as slaves and courtiers. This is our duty!!" Hu Li, who had made up his mind, answered in such a calm manner that he was not disturbed at all. The powerful aura on Liu Lei's body frightened him.

At the same time, at the last moment, he stabbed Liu Lei directly.

Liu Lei is also a subject of the emperor, even he, the eunuch, knows to obey the emperor's orders, but now you, Liu Lei, are directly opposing the emperor. Are you still a subject like this?

"Hehe..." Liu Lei smiled, but he didn't refute, because Hu Li's sarcasm is indeed true, and his current behavior is indeed not the behavior of a courtier.

To be honest, things have developed to this point, which Liu Lei could not have imagined when he first started.

Before, he kept strengthening his army and expanding his strength. His original intention was to protect himself, to ensure that he would not be settled by the emperor Zhou Minghao, and to ensure that his family and his subordinates could live safely. .

However, who knew that Emperor Zhou Minghao's strength would be so low,

In other words, the strength of the other seven princes will be so strong. After Zhou Minghao ascended the throne, his strength will be less than two levels. At the same time, the power of the entire royal family will also be weakened countless in this battle for the throne.

In the end, the power in his hands suddenly stood at the strongest position in the entire Northern Shu Kingdom. The strength of a courtier is far stronger than that of the emperor. When you talk about this, Liu Lei will still maintain the previous center? !

Even if he still maintains the previous center, the emperor Zhou Minghao will not believe it, and will definitely go all out to take down Liu Lei, and similarly, Liu Lei's subordinates will not give up the endless glory and wealth that is about to be obtained.

Being a subordinate of a marshal and being a subject of an emperor are two completely different concepts. Compared with the former, the latter is really much, much better.

There are many examples of this in history.

Like Zhao Kuangyin, his yellow robe is actually the best example.

The most terrible thing is that the current emperor Zhou Minghao has not been able to completely eradicate the remaining forces of the seven princes. These people have been making trouble for the emperor Zhou Minghao and constantly weakening his strength. As a result, Zhou Minghao has been on the throne for ten years now More, but the strength has only recovered to less than half.

On the contrary, because of Liu Lei's promotion to Marshal, and the fact that the barbarians have been threatening the Northern Shu Kingdom for more than ten years, Liu Lei's military strength is getting stronger and stronger. His strength has long been several times that of the last It's time to start.

Just like the army under him, at the beginning, Liu Lei only controlled an army of about 300,000. Although such an army is powerful, the royal family has an army of more than one million, and the royal family can still suppress it. Liu Lei's.

However, now Liu Lei has more than one million troops, and these one million troops are all elite troops who fought against the barbarians, and their actual combat effectiveness has long surpassed that of the royal family's army.

Moreover, over the past ten years, the royal family's power has continued to decline, resulting in a decrease in the number of troops under its control. Up to now, only less than 800,000 troops are still under the control of the royal family.

On the one hand, it has increased to one million, and it is still an elite army, on the other hand, it has shrunk to 800,000, and its combat effectiveness is still worrying. The gap between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger as time goes by. Facing such a situation As for the situation, even at the beginning, Liu Lei had no other thoughts in his heart, but now he has slowly.

This is the so-called forced by the situation. Sometimes, there are some things that you don’t want to do. The development of the situation will continue to push you forward and let you move forward slowly...

"Okay, Hu Li, don't say anything, we all know what's going on here, don't we?!" Seeing that Hu Li still wanted to refute something, Liu Lei stopped Hu Li with a wave of his hand. He didn't have the heart to argue with Hu Li about this matter, he still had more important things to solve.

"Hmph!" Hu Li snorted coldly, but he didn't say anything more.

"Hu Li, I believe you have also heard the conversation I had with General Zhou Jian. What do you think about this?" Liu Lei asked, changing the subject.

"What do you think? What can I think, I'm just a few barbarians!" Hu Li said bluntly, even with a bit of contempt on his face.

It seems to be saying, you, Liu Lei, are too timid, you are just two strong barbarians, do you need to be so afraid.

"Idiot, can't you see the problem here?" No matter how good-tempered Liu Lei is, he scolded directly at this time.

"Behind this Lin Lixuan is the mysterious super hermit sect Yanhuangzong. Originally, this was nothing, but now the most terrible thing is that he has two barbarian Jindan stage strongmen under him. What does this mean? Don't you know in your head? Is it?!" Liu Lei scolded bluntly.

"This..." After hearing these words, Hu Li, who didn't pay much attention at first, was a little panicked at this moment.

"Could it be that the barbarians turned to Yanhuangzong?" Hu Li exclaimed this possibility.

After he finished saying this, Hu Li's face instantly turned extremely pale, because he knew very well how dangerous it would be for the Northern Shu Kingdom, which is currently being attacked by barbarians, if this matter is true.

"You're not stupid, you can think of this." Liu Lei glanced at Hu Li beside him and said unhappily.

"However, this is not what worries me the most. What worries me the most is whether there will be Lin Lixuan in here." When talking about Lin Lixian, Liu Lei frowned.

"Marshal Liu, what do you mean? There is also something about Lin Lixuan here?" Hu Li was dumbfounded at this moment, he really didn't believe that there would be something about Lin Ze.

"Don't forget, when we were competing for the warship, Lin Lixuan blocked our intention to buy the warship several times. Now that you have these two strong barbarians beside him, don't you think of anything? "Liu Lei directly said what was in his heart.

If Lin Ze heard Liu Lei's words at this time, he would definitely give him a thumbs up, because Liu Lei is really amazing.

Just through the current Huang Quan, Lu Wanlin, and the previous events at the auction, it is directly associated with Lin Ze's plan to deal with him. Such a vision is indeed very powerful.

"This..., alas, this time is really troublesome!" Hu Li collapsed all of a sudden, recalling the previous experience, he knew that Liu Lei's words were right.

Then I imagined that Liu Lei could see the huge secrets hidden in the things he bought just by looking at these skins, and then compared this ability with the current emperor Zhou Minghao. He didn't know what happened, and the anger in Hu Li's heart suddenly disappeared. up.

"Marshal Liu, I need to report this matter to the emperor as soon as possible, so I will leave first." After realizing how powerful Liu Lei is, Hu Li really didn't want to stay with him, lest he be hit again.

"Yes, but you have to do one thing well before you leave." Liu Lei didn't stop him, but just said one condition.

"Oh, what is it, Marshal Liu, please tell me." After realizing the huge gap between the emperor and Liu Lei, Hu Li's attitude towards Liu Lei has undergone a huge change, although it has not yet reached the level of liking , however, respect this already has.

Regarding this, Liu Lei also nodded secretly in his heart, thinking that his hard work just now was not in vain.

Yes, why did Liu Lei tell Hu Li all his discoveries before, in order to make him realize the huge gap between the emperor and him before.

Zhou Minghao is the emperor, but he is only an emperor. In terms of other abilities, he is really not very strong. Compared with Liu Lei, he is far worse.

Apart from other things, comparing the strength development between the two sides over the past ten years, the gap in ability between the two can be clearly seen.

Zhou Minghao is the emperor of the Northern Shu Kingdom. In the Northern Shu Kingdom, that is the absolute home field. However, more than ten years have passed, and he has not even recovered his previous strength, let alone developed.

As for Liu Lei, on the border of the Northern Shu Kingdom, in an extremely barren and war-torn place, not only did his strength not weaken, but he had grown several times.

Comparing the two, the ability gap between the two sides is too obvious.
