"Draw a snake out of its hole?" Hami furrowed his brow, staring at the water stain with a thoughtful expression.

  Jiang Kongming picked up the peanuts on the table, one by one, and put them there, saying: "If we continue to increase our troops here. May I ask, Master Guo, how will the Han court react?"

  Hamidi's low voice said: "The Han court's reaction is only to continuously reinforce and maintain a balance of power with us."

  Jiang Kung-ming nodded and said, "That's right. As long as the national teacher can get Han Xian Emperor to mobilize more than half of the Huanglong Army guarding the capital, this matter will be 90% successful."

  Hamid's eyes gleamed with a sharp light, and his voice even trembled slightly: "Take a shortcut."

  Jiang Gongming burst out laughing and said: "The National Master's words are exactly what I wanted."

  Hamidi's expression was slightly out of place, but he regained his composure after a moment. He furrowed his brow and said, "Even so, where can we find the breakthrough point?"

  Jiang Kongming looked at him and shook his head, sighing: "Guoshi is not being a good friend anymore. I've already made it clear what I meant, are you still trying to hide the truth about the Cheng family?"

  Hami's eyes suddenly widened, and he could no longer conceal the look of shock in his eyes.

  Oben Master no longer dodged and weaved, throwing a punch that finally allowed him to engage in a head-on confrontation with Ritsi for the first time.

  Lizhi's horse knife seemed to fall into an invisible whirlpool, not only slowing down slightly, but also grinding away more than half of the inner force attached to the blade.

  Fortunately, he was mentally firm and not only did not see panic, but instead rose to the occasion with a knife, filled with a tragic atmosphere of jade and stone burning together.

  Auburn's fist finally collided with his knife tip, a bizarre scene unfolded.

  Lizhi's full-force blow was like a stone sinking into the ocean, without causing even a ripple.

  Lizhi's heart was greatly shocked, and he was about to withdraw his knife and retreat, but he found that Auben's fist seemed to have endless suction power, firmly absorbing his horse knife.

  He was fearless in the face of danger, immediately dropped his knife, took a step forward and struck with one palm to the chest. He actually charged forward bravely, without any retreat.

  Looking at the young Xiongnu master in front of him, Ao Ben felt a mix of emotions. Why did both the Han court and the Xiongnu have such outstanding individuals among their younger generation? In comparison, Caesar's younger generation seemed far inferior. Perhaps only that unknown yet unfathomable second prince could rival them in terms of intelligence.

  Suddenly, a long sword pierced from Lizi's side first, and Xu Haifeng abandoned his defense for the first time and took the initiative to attack.

  Facing the joint attack of two top-notch experts, Auben Zongshi stood firm and fearless. He jerked his right hand upwards, and the machete on his fist seemed to suddenly come to life, darting forward like a spirit snake. At the same time, his left hand formed a vertical palm, and with all his might, he clashed heavily with Lizi's palm that was also exerting its full strength.

  With a "ding" sound, Xu Haifeng was knocked back several steps by the true power attached to his sword. He looked up and saw that Li Zhi was not much better off, also stumbling backward.

  Lizhi's horse knife was even more agile and varied in Auben's hands.

  Stabbing, thrusting, chopping, slashing, sweeping - Auben's moves were completely at will, as if he was flying freely in the sky, leaving no trace to be found.

  But it was this very unassuming swordsmanship that plunged Xu Haifeng into an unprecedentedly perilous situation.

  He stood with his feet shoulder-width apart, wielding the unbreakable divine sword that danced with wind and water, his heart as clear as a bright mirror, reflecting every subtle change in the outside world.

  However, although he could sense Auben's moves, his own abilities were on a completely different level.

  Swords clashed, and in an instant they had exchanged dozens of blows.

  Each impact, Auben's gentle true energy invaded Xu Haifeng's meridians through the Unbroken Divine Sword. If not for his accomplished skills and fully operational Quiet Heart Technique, his arm would have gone numb long ago, unable to lift his sword.

  Auburn launched a series of attacks, seeing that Xu Haifeng was already showing signs of defeat. Just as he was about to take advantage of the situation and launch another attack, he heard a gentle voice in his ear: "Be careful, senior."

  He let out a sigh and faced this sudden visitor. Even if he was strong, he didn't dare to underestimate him in the slightest.

  Auburn received the move and jumped up, his left thumb pointing out just in time to land on Xia Yajun's Qimen spear.

  Xia Yajun's weapon is a colorful ribbon, which is wrapped into a ball in daily life, without any cumbersome appearance, but it is actually an infinitely powerful soft weapon.

  Xu Haifeng took a deep breath and only then did he realize that in the few moments just now, his true energy had been depleted by more than half.

  "Miss Xia?"

  He had met Xiyajun of the Xiongnu once before, but he could never have imagined that this delicate-looking girl would possess such incredible martial arts skills.

  Just seeing her make a move, she forced the majestic Auben Master to retreat with one blow, from which it can be seen that her martial arts skills are at least one level higher than his own.

  Xia Yajun smiled at him, and in that instant, the charm made Li Zhi's heart, which had always been high above, stir up a strange feeling.

  "Has Miss Xia finally decided to take action?" Auben seemed to have known that Xia Yajun was here, and her appearance didn't surprise him at all.

  Xia Yajun slightly bowed to him and said: "If senior wants to harm my husband, how can I just stand by and do nothing?"

  "Perhaps in ten years, Miss Xia may have the qualifications to say such things. But now, you've just entered the realm of a grandmaster, your foundation is unstable, your internal energy is impure, how can you possibly block my attacks?"

  Xia Yajun said in a low voice, "A junior's power is indeed not as good as that of a senior. However, this is Wolong City, where one does not oppress the many and a hundred do not follow one. Does the senior have such confidence to hurt my husband?"

  "Whether it can be done or not, there's only one way to find out."

  The atmosphere in the air became tense again, only this time it was different from before. Alongside Xu Haifeng, fighting shoulder to shoulder with him were not only the Huns' expert Li Zhi, but also Xia Yajun, who had just stepped into the realm of a grandmaster.

  "General, you are indeed wise and knowledgeable. Not even the affairs of the Cheng family can escape your notice." Hami Ti sat down slowly, with a bitter smile.

  "But it's only temporary luck." Jiang Kongming smiled and said, "The Cheng family has been operating in the military and political circles for many years, and apart from the Fang family's direct lineage unit, the Red Ocean Battalion, and the imperial Yellow Dragon Army, all three major legions have a complex web of relationships with the Cheng family."

  Hami Tui was able to serve as the national teacher of Xiongnu, becoming the most trusted strategist of Modu Chanyu, and his own vision and wisdom were indeed extraordinary.

  He heard Jiang Kungming's words and immediately responded: "The Wolf Army?"

  "Not bad." Jiang Kongming clapped his hands and said, "It's precisely because your country has Cheng Jia as an insider that this plan has a chance of success. Otherwise, heh heh..."

  Hami nodded in deep agreement. If the Han people could unite as one, with their population and wisdom, they would be able to sweep across the land. Unfortunately, what the rulers of past dynasties were most enthusiastic about was not expanding the territory, but rather internal strife and endless infighting.

  "I have an agreement with the State Master here. If the State Master can wipe out the entire Liu family, then within two years, the iron cavalry of the Black Flag Army will not set foot on the Great Prairie." Jiang Kongming promised.

  Hamidi stared at him and asked slowly, "Does General Jiang think that he can destroy the entire country of Caesar in just two years?" Jiang Gongming smiled and said, "As to whether it is possible or not, I still ask the national teacher to wait and see."

  "Good." Hami Zha asked again, "If the Black Flag Army unites with Kaisar and our country annihilates the Liu and Cheng families, will we then use Lin'an as the boundary and forever be brotherly nations?"

  "No, no." Jiang Gongming shook his head and said, "If that's really the case, then let's settle it once and for all."

  Hamidi stood up straight and stretched out his palm: "Since that's the case, you and I will make a vow by slapping our palms together. Within two years, we won't harm each other."

  Jiang Kongming smiled and exchanged three slaps with him, but both of them knew that this verbal agreement had no binding force at all.

  The wind is howling and the ribbons are fluttering.

  Everything in the hut was reduced to dust under the fierce battle of the four masters.

  Although Li Zhi no longer had a handy sword, he still stood in the front, unyieldingly confronting Auben, although his body was already covered with multiple wounds, yet he did not retreat half a step.

  Xu Haifeng and Xia Yajun, the couple, were in perfect sync, their weapons a harmonious blend of hard and soft, deflecting more than half of Auben's attacks. The three of them stood in a triangular formation, exchanging blows with precision and coordination that grew increasingly seamless.

  Aoben Zongshi fought one against three, although he didn't fall behind in the slightest, but wanting to kill Xu Haifeng was also impossible for the time being.

  At the critical moment, Auben suddenly let out a low whistle and his horse knife produced countless phantoms that wrapped around Lizi. At the same time, with a misstep, his body moved like lightning and he squeezed into the space between the three people.

  The three of them thought in unison: "This is bad."

  Facing the endless sword lights and shadows that were pressing down on him from all sides, Li Zhi's heart unexpectedly calmed down at this moment.

  At this critical moment of life and death, his five senses and six consciousness greatly enhanced, and suddenly he seemed to see something. He narrowed his eyes, swung his palm casually, and happened to collide with the real master in the endless knife shadows.

  Xia Yajun's ribbon suddenly contracted and coiled around Oben's neck like a spirit snake.

  Xu Haifeng's Taiji Swordsmanship was fully unleashed, seeking only a brief moment of respite to escape the danger.

  Aoben Zongshi had been planning this attack for a long time, and he didn't care about the ribbon coming from behind. He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and actually grabbed Xu Haifeng's indestructible divine sword with his bare hands.

  Xu Haifeng knew something was wrong and immediately let go of his sword, retreating hastily.

  Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed before his eyes, and a brilliant beam of light shot towards him like a rainbow.

  This ray of light was too fast, Xu Haifeng couldn't dodge it, and in his haste, he simply raised his right hand to catch the treasure sword.

  Aoben Zongshi sneered in his heart. If this knife could be blocked by Xu Haifeng with bare hands, then the name of Zongshi would be erased.

  Xu Haifeng's two hands came together, and surprisingly, they firmly clamped down on the horse knife.

  Aoben's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly discovered that this knife could no longer be cut down.
