Jiang Bin suppressed his red face and shouted, "In short, if you want to punish me, punish me. It's none of their business. Even if I kill my head, I won't frown!"

"Aiyo, you're quite heroic!" Chu Jun suddenly laughed.

With Chu Jun's smile, the solemn atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed. It was as if after a fierce winter, the spring breeze had sent warmth into Tu Su.

Jiang Bin, Lu Chen, and Pan Chuanxiong couldn't help but look at each other.

Chu Jun's expression changed as he said indifferently, "If this king says that you are not only innocent, but also have merits, will you still snatch it away?"

The three of them were even more confused. They did not understand what kind of medicine Chu Jun was selling in his gourd.

Li Xiangjun laughed out loud, "King Chu said that you have contributed, so why don't you stand up?"

Pan Chuanxiong rolled his eyes and hurriedly stood up. Lu Xun and Jiang Bin exchanged a glance and said, "We're not guilty, are we meritorious?"

Pan Chuanxiong smiled and said, "Didn't you hear what Incense Chief Li said? Scram!"

When Lu Xun and Jiang Bin saw Chu Jun chuckling, they immediately understood that King Chu was not joking and stood up overjoyed.

"Jiang Bin, Lu Xun, and Pan Chuanxiong each received one merit. Jiang Bin gave one rank five magic treasure, and Lu Xun and Pan Chuanxiong each gave one rank four magic treasure. The three of them each received 100,000 spirit crystals!" Chu Junlang said.

All the generals in the hall were jealous. Jiang Bin laughed loudly, "Thank you, Marshal, but I was scared half to death. Hehe, I don't care. How could I be guilty of stealing territory for our Chu army?"

Chu Jun's head couldn't help but be covered in black lines. He then taught the generals a lesson and waved everyone back. Only Dao Zheng Ming, Zhong Hua, Li Xiangjun, and the two flag masters were left in the hall.

Chu Jun asked solemnly, "What do you think?"

Dao Zheng Ming sighed, "This move of the ghost race is truly brilliant. Yang Mou Yang Mou, even if you see through it, once the ghost race withdraws from the Star Continent, conflicts between our Chu Army, the Chongming Army, and the Star-Blue Army will inevitably erupt for territory!"

Chu Jun nodded deeply. The reason he didn't punish Jiang Bin and the others was because he understood this point. Since it was inevitable, punishing the soldiers who fought valiantly for this matter would undoubtedly cause the hearts of the people below to turn cold. Rather than doing so, it was better to reward and inspire them. Although this would trigger a greater conflict between the Chu Army and the Chongming Army, it was still a helpless move.

Zhong Hua said, "There is a conflict between the Chu army and the Chongming army. Now that the ghost race has taken the initiative to withdraw, a large area of empty territory is undoubtedly the Five Spices Meat that triggered the war between us. Sooner or later, we will have a war with the Chongming army!"

"Even so, once we start a full-scale war with the Chongming army, the ghost army that is eyeing us will definitely come back!" Yang Yun said in a deep voice.

Tao Fei Fei smiled bitterly and said, "There is also the Star-Blue Army. Our people from the Imperial East Banner also had some friction with the Star-Blue Army!"

Li Xiangjun calmly sipped her tea and said, "That's why we can't start a full-scale war with the Chongming Army. At least, we can't start a war until the defensive and teleportation formations of Beichen City and Big Dipper City are completed!"

"But the Chongming Army suffered a great loss in the battle of Tanwei City today. The war is already unavoidable!" Zhong Hua said.

Li Xiangjun smiled charmingly and said, "That's not necessarily the case. We can see through the ghost race's plot. Could it be that Du Wu can't see through it? I don't think Du Wu is willing to go all out to war with us!"

Dao Zheng Ming's eyes lit up and he blurted out, "Does Incense Chief Li mean to negotiate with Du Wu?"

"That's right, we need to negotiate with Du Wu!"

Tao Fei Fei instantly frowned, "Will Du Wu be willing to talk? Besides, we don't need to be afraid of the Chongming Army!"

Li Xiangjun said indifferently, "Whether Du Wu is willing to talk or not is still unknown. We have to give it a try. In addition, there are some things that are not the best solution!"

Tao Fei Fei immediately said unconvincingly, "This kind of thing depends on strength. If not for the fact that our Chu Army relies on fighting and killing to have the territory we have now, would it be possible for us to start a war? According to what I said, our Chu Army can unify the Star Continent!"

"I'm most afraid of being stabbed by someone before unification!" Li Xiangjun asked with wide and charming eyes.

"You are trying to increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige!" Tao Fei Fei stared back at him tit for tat.

Li Xiangjun was also angry and sneered, "I forgot my surname after a few victories. A proud soldier will lose!"

Tao Fei Fei was instantly enraged!

Dao Zheng Ming and the others watched the two beauties stare at each other, tactfully not making a sound, lest they become a fish in the pond.

The two women stared at each other for a while, then looked at Chu Jun together. The meaning of that gaze was very obvious, causing Chu Jun to express his stance!

Chu Jun took a cold breath with a bit of toothache and lightly coughed, "Well … you two sit down first!"

Tao Fei Fei's face flushed red as she sat back down. Li Xiangjun sat down slowly and took a sip of her teacup. Tao Fei Fei sneaked a glance at Chu Jun. Wasn't his performance a bit too rude just now? Hmph, she was the one who was angry!

"This … First of all, Fei Fei is right. Our Chu Army's territory is all based on our strength. Big fists are the most important reason, so martial power is the most important guarantee."

Tao Fei Fei immediately threw Li Xiangjun a look of pride, and the latter calmly ignored him.

Chu Jun continued, "However, what Fragrant Monarch said is also correct. There are some things that cannot be solved by force alone. The ghost race is eyeing us covetously. They are waiting for us to fight against the Chongming Army head on. They will benefit from it, so we cannot start a full-scale war with the Chongming Army!"

The corner of Li Xiangjun's mouth curled into an arc as she raised her charming eyes to look at Tao Fei Fei. She clearly said, "Did you hear that? That stinking man just now was just trying to placate you. In the end, he still listened to me!"

Tao Fei Fei bit her lower lip and coldly snorted, her eyes turning a little red!

However, he heard Chu Jun say, "However, not starting a full-scale war does not mean that we cannot start a war. We can teach the Chongming Army a lesson and then negotiate with them. In this way, we can occupy an advantageous position and prevent the Chongming Army from speaking out loudly!"

Tao Fei Fei immediately raised her eyebrows and gave Li Xiangjun a curl of her lips!

Chu Jun naturally noticed the small movements between the two women and couldn't help but sweat. He added, "I have a grudge with Du Wu, so it's not convenient for Brother Dao to come forward. Leave the negotiation with the Chongming Army to Xiangjun. Fei Fei and Yang Yun each lead the Imperial Eastern Flag and the Sao Northern Flag to coordinate on the frontline battlefield. We should still fight, but we have to grasp the limits!"

"Yes, this subordinate obeys!" Tao Fei Fei and Yang Yun stood up and obeyed.

Li Xiangjun curled her lips and said sweetly, "Master, this is not fair. I have to take risks in the tiger's den. Someone can just wave their flags and shout!"

Tao Fei Fei snorted and said, "Alright, you command the Yudong Flag . I'll go negotiate with Du Wu!"

Chu Jun's head couldn't help but grow big, and he scolded with a dark face, "Do you think this is a child playing house?"

Tao Fei Fei lowered her head in grievance!

Chu Jun glared at Li Xiangjun and said coldly, "Go back and make good preparations. You are only allowed to take advantage of me, and you are not allowed to suffer any losses. Otherwise, you will be the only one asking!"

Li Xiangjun said solemnly, "This subordinate obeys!" However, he secretly snorted in his heart. Stinking man, you have the ability to take advantage of others.

Giant Wood City was only 800 kilometers away from Tan Wei City.

At this moment, Du Wu's expression was ugly. Yuan Shi and Sun Mou had each suffered a huge loss in a battle with the Chu Army near Tan Wei City. Of course, there were nearly 10,000 casualties among the Chu Army, but the overall losses were lighter than those of the Chongming Army. Furthermore, the Chu Army had taken over Xuan Ji City and Tan Wei City.

Yuan Shi and Sun Mou lowered their heads and stood. The former said in a deep voice, "General, please apologize for defeating Chu Jun!"

"What are the two generals guilty of? The other side has the advantage in numbers. It would be good if the two generals could return the heavy blow to them. However, the Chu army is actually so decisive. If they meet us, they will start the fight!" Du Wu said angrily.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "No wonder Chu Jun worked so hard to drive away the Ghost King Halberd, while our Chongming Army enjoyed its success. It is strange for those generals of Chu Jun to be angry. If they encounter it, there will definitely be conflicts!"

When Du Wu thought about how the Chongming Army had already seized ten city walls, and how the Chu Army had only seized seven of them, she was in a much better mood. She had actually taken advantage of the Star-Blue Army. She did not have much strength, but she had also seized four of them.

"Ghost King Lie didn't retreat with good intentions this time. The purpose is for the three of us to fight for territory. This trick is obvious, but it's a Yang scheme. Even if it's seen through, the three of us will still have a dispute over territory!" Liu Yong said indifferently, "When we lose the battle with Chu Jun, the Ghost King Halberd will take the opportunity to counterattack!"

Du Wu frowned and said, "Then what should we do?"

Liu Yong smiled calmly and said, "This should be Chu Jun's headache. His Chu army is near the Realm River. Once the ghosts counterattack, they will bear the brunt!"

Du Wu's eyes lit up as she said, "Shouldn't Ning Yun use this chess piece?"

Liu Yong stroked his long beard and a hesitation flashed in his eyes. "Palace Master has thought it through. Once this move falls, the wind and rain of the Nine Continents will rise. At that time, there will be no turning back. If he fails, not only will he be powerless to return to the heavens, he will even attract an eternal infamy!"

Du Wu's heroic eyebrows twitched. She looked at the night outside the window and said resolutely for a long time, "I, Du Wu, ask myself that I am not inferior to anyone else. Whoever blocks this palace's path, this palace will be removed at all costs. No one can stop this palace's footsteps. No one can … What does this eternal infamy have to do with me? Hmph! If I don't succeed, then I'll be merciful!"

Liu Yong secretly sighed and nodded, "Then this subordinate shall inform His Highness the First Prince and His Highness the Seventh Prince to act according to the plan!"

"Go, have someone bring Ning Yun over from Star City!" Du Wu waved her hand.

Liu Yong walked out of the main hall and faced a gust of cold wind. Liu Yong raised his head to look at the resplendent galaxy and suddenly sighed, "It's autumn. The autumn wind sweeps away the fallen leaves. The fallen leaves sweep away the autumn wind!"

As Liu Yong walked down the stairs and stepped out of the City Lord's Mansion, a huge storm began to erupt from the brewing stage. The macheteman of this storm was him, Liu Yong.
