His gaze swept across the surroundings, thinking of Li Zhaowen. Although he hadn’t spent much time with Li Zhaowen, they shared a mutual understanding. The Fierce Tiger Gold King Seal of Li Guanyi and the predecessor of the Changfeng Building were both gifts from Li Zhaowen. And outside Zhenbei City, at the most dangerous moment for Li Guanyi, it was also Li Zhaowen who sent Changsun Wuchou with light cavalry scouts to help Li Guanyi, although such a force is no longer significant to Li Guanyi now. But at that time, it was like sending charcoal in the snow. These several deep favors indeed showed a mutual commitment of life and soul. Not to mention, the Western Regions alliance, supporting each other, can be said to be friendships, interests, and great trends that are extremely compatible, friends and allies. Li Guanyi’s visit this time is partly to help and partly to maintain the alliance. The third reason is to see this good brother. "Hahaha, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it’s been a long time, I’ve been waiting for you." A clear and bright laugh. Li Guanyi stood up and looked; a person emerged from the inner hall, dressed in a brocade robe, with a rhino horn jade belt around the waist, a gold thread crown tied around his hair, his brows flying, with a golden vertical mark at the center of his forehead. It was Li Zhaowen, and Li Guanyi also laughed: "Erlang, it’s been a long time!" The two walked forward in large strides, each holding the other’s arm, shaking it firmly. Marching shoulder to shoulder, taking action together. The enthusiasm was evident in their eyes. However, Changsun Wuchou, standing beside, only felt a stomach ache watching it. After Li Zhaowen and Li Guanyi exchanged warm greetings, they sat down. Li Zhaowen noticed Li Guanyi’s disguise, surprised he asked: "Mr. Li, what’s with your face..." Li Guanyi explained everything, and Li Zhaowen nodded in understanding, saying: "It’s necessary." Li Guanyi said: "I heard from Changsun that Erlang, you have a sister, being forced into marriage?" Li Zhaowen closed the folding fan in his hand, chuckling: "Wrong, wrong." "It’s not my sister, but I’m being forced into marriage." Changsun Wuchou’s expression froze. Never expected Miss Two would directly reveal this matter. But thinking again, with that girl’s demeanor and free-spirited nature, such a thing is not a big deal, and there’s no need to hide it. Li Guanyi was slightly surprised. Li Zhaowen laughed freely: "However, these things are trivial to me, and with the world being so vast and the Western Regions situation changing again, how could I still have the leisure to deal with them?" "Changsun was worried and made up an excuse to trick Mr. Li to come here." "I saw the situation and thought of meeting with you soon, so I just went along with it." "Mr. Li, don’t blame Changsun." Li Guanyi laughed: "Ha, it’s a good thing; how could I blame him?" "Besides, people like them, how could they trouble you, my brother?!" Li Zhaowen’s lips curled up, calm and composed: "Indeed." Read complete version only at ɴovelfire.net "You know me, Mr. Li." The mutual understanding between the two was genuine. The brotherly affection was evident. Changsun Wuchou felt like his eyes were being dazzled. Li Zhaowen directly took out a scroll from his sleeve, smiling, said: "Originally planned to change clothes to welcome my brother, but unfortunately, I still prefer wearing this, other clothes are too cumbersome, I’ll show you another time, my brother." "Come, come, this is the nearby Western Regions Map, let’s look at it together." Li Zhaowen directly pieced together several tables surrounding them and spread the map over them, examining it with Li Guanyi. As Li Guanyi approached, he felt a faint scent hit his face. Li Guanyi’s steps halted for a moment, looking at that handsome good brother with flying brows and a golden vertical mark in the middle of his forehead. Hmm? What’s happening? Li Zhaowen questioned, then continued to wave him over, smiling: "Why don’t you come over, Mr. Li?" "You’re standing too far, you won’t be able to see the map clearly," Li Guanyi pondered, and thought of one of his own strategists, Wen Lingjun from the Heavenly Strategy Mansion, who was also , with sleeves scented and a warm gentleman. Li Guanyi gladly came over. The two sat close to the Western Regions Map, Li Zhaowen enthusiastically pointed to a central area, saying: "Mr. Li, look, the changes in the four directions are all recorded in this geographical map. This blue section is where the Wolf King is." "This old wolf is almost swallowing the capital of the Dangxiang Kingdom." "Dangxiang Kingdom has done many struggles, including strategic advances, elite cavalry counterattacks, and martial artists penetrating, but all were blocked by the Wolf King. People know the Wolf King attacks like fire but don’t know he is also good at defense." "The Wolf King has directly sealed the entire Dangxiang Kingdom." "The checkpoints in and out of that area are tightly guarded, with a Heroic Pass connecting the mountains, using the terrain, making it difficult to bypass. The Wolf King dispatched elite soldiers and the fifteenth-ranked general in the world, Xiao Wuliang, to guard it." "It seems from the surface, he is determined to take down the Dangxiang Kingdom." "With such decisive and ruthless measures from the Wolf King, the Thirty-six Tribes of the Western Regions couldn’t sit still anymore. They originally planned to watch and reap the benefits as bystanders, but seeing the Wolf King about to gobble up Dangxiang alone, everyone would turn into jesters." "So they’ve all risen to arms." "Among the Western Regions tribes, strong tribes like the Qiang have started leading troops to encircle the area. In the beginning, there were still frictions between them, gradually showing a trend of converging into a formidable force, heading towards the capital of Dangxiang Kingdom, where the Heroic City of the Western Regions is located." "But along the way, they must pass through the area sealed by the Wolf King." "The Western Regions coalition is facing the fifteenth-ranked general Xiao Wuliang." "Mr. Li, what do you think will happen?" Li Zhaowen’s eyes were bright. Li Guanyi replied simply: "It’s just the beginning; I fear a great war is about to start." "I just don’t understand. Although the Wolf King is fierce, he is also extremely cunning. It doesn’t seem like he would do something as reckless as sealing off one place and then fighting the entire Western Regions coalition. I think there must be something we haven’t understood..."
