Chapter 21: Kingdom Movements
In the half month that Li Xipin was closed, there was always a layer of gloom in the court of the pilgrimage kingdom.
Today's morning dynasty is no exception, from the emperor to the civil and military officials, one by one is worried, silent, and I don't know what to think.
"What's going on, the ancestors are too anxious, I give you time, who will give me time?"
Although the emperor on the throne had a lot of helplessness in his words, his eyes were full of fierceness and majesty when he looked at the hundreds of officials under the throne.
"Your Majesty, the kingdom has been calm for a hundred years, how can it start a war lightly now?"
The person who opened his mouth was Prime Minister Yanming, fifty or sixty years old, but he was already full of gray hair, and he was also a person who had done his best for the country and the people.
"Yes, Your Majesty, even if you really want to fight, you also need time to prepare, so in such a hurry..."
Taiwei Donglang also came out at this time to speak, but he was also fifty or sixty years old, but he looked like a middle-aged man who was fierce and fierce, and he wanted to cultivate a lot.
"Didn't I give you half a month to prepare? Didn't I know that I couldn't start a war easily? Didn't I know that if I sent troops in a hurry, I might be defeated?
When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and he slapped the table in front of him and roared, and for a while, the hundred officials did not dare to come out.
"Prime Minister, as soon as you are responsible for the overall planning of material mobilization, the household department cooperates, I give you three days to prepare, if you don't do it well, you will tell the old man to return to his hometown.
Tai Lieutenant, I will also give you three days to dispatch troops and generals, and the military department will cooperate, this time, I will take the Northern Star Kingdom to start the knife, and you can think of your own reasons or something.
In short, this is a war of aggression against the outside world, how to fight, to what extent you can do it yourself, the ancestors only need spirit stones, a large number of spirit stones, if you can't satisfy the ancestors, hum...
I'm not happy, and don't even think about it!"
Today's emperor is really moved by the wrath of thunder, and after repeated orders, he has already made a decision, and it is impossible to change it again.
The civil and military officials also knew that they were powerless to return to heaven, so they could only do their duty.
"Your Majesty, it's not impossible to go to war, it's just... Will the Immortal Sect above interfere, have the ancestors considered the consequences?"
The prime minister spoke again, and as soon as he spoke, all the officials were shocked, and Gu looked at the emperor on the throne.
"Smack"
The table was slammed by the emperor, and the others also got up angrily, but they just thought of something, and still suppressed their anger and said.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, do your job, I only give you three days, hum, disperse!"
Whenever Xianmen is mentioned, the emperor must be so angry.
It is impossible for every emperor to accept that someone stands on their head to and pee.
It's just that the system and situation of the kingdom are like this now, which determines that there are many people who can stand on his head and be powerful, such as those ancestors.
Not to mention the immortal gate that is high above.
Even if there is a disciple with a very low cultivation level in the Immortal Sect, the emperor must treat him with courtesy. To put it bluntly, the emperor is just a puppet raised by the immortal sect in the mortal world.
......
Li Xipin naturally didn't know that the thirteen life pseudo systems sold were about to cause a war.
is to know, what can Li Xipin do?
In a sense, Li Xipin is very selfish.
However, it is a troubled time, and who can leave it out of it?
......
The Li Mansion is closed as usual.
Today, I had to open the door.
Because, King Wen came to the door in person, and he also brought Liu Zhengyuan, Fa Yan and Zhao Mingtang, three Li Xipin's friends!
In the inner hall, Li Xipin came late, and his appearance was not taken care of, thinking that he had just come out of the pseudo-system workshop.
"I've seen Your Highness, you've been waiting for a long time, I'm really sorry, I've been studying the system production process recently, so..."
"It's okay, Master Li, sit down, this king came quietly this time, he can't stay too long, let's make a long story short"
King Wen did not blame, but there was a lot of urgency in his words.
Li Xipin and his three friends nodded as a courtesy, and then sat on the wooden chair opposite King Wen.
King Wen is here, but he can't sit on the main seat.
"Master Li, you have been closed, I don't know the current situation, this king will tell you the general situation first.
Half a month ago, more than a dozen ancestors who never showed up easily suddenly came out of the mountain and strongly asked their father to start a war, the purpose of which was to converge the spirit stones, a large number of spirit stones.
My father reluctantly agreed, and this morning, my father also issued an ultimatum, thinking that in three days, the kingdom will go to war with the outside world."
King Wen spoke very quickly, and briefly described the situation in the kingdom.
"Huh?"
These old guys...
It seems that there are not enough spirit stones!
It's just that... What does a foreign war have to do with oneself?
Li Xipin looked at King Wen suspiciously, and King Wen also spoke again.
"The country that my father decided to go on the expedition is the Northern Star Kingdom in the north of my pilgrimage kingdom, and the news I have learned so far is that the prince is personally in charge, and the prince is likely to go on the expedition with the army, this king... I want to fight too.
It's just that this king still has a lot of background, and if I fight with the prince in front of my father according to the convention, there is a chance that this king will lose, so I came to Li Shi for help."
"How to fight, what to fight?"
Li Xipin asked suspiciously after hearing this.
"Oh, Brother Li, this is an unwritten rule of the royal family, if the kingdom is in a foreign war, if there are more than two princes who ask to accompany the army, they will have a fight, and the content of the fighting method includes the competition of their own cultivation, the art of war, the formation of the subordinates, the competition of cultivation, etc."
Liu Zhengyuan explained in time.
"Oh... Understood, that is to say, if King Wen wants to replace the prince and go out with the army, he will defeat him in the fighting method? With the cultivation of King Wen now, he is not afraid of the prince, I think that King Wen is here to buy some system to enhance the means of his staff, right?
It's just that... I only have the Martial God system here, what kind of system is the art of war, the formation, but I can't make it at the moment."
Li Xipin instantly understood after hearing this.
It's one thing to just understand, it's another thing to have the ability or not.
He hasn't unlocked the pseudo-system of the art of war and formation now!
"Master Li, you misunderstood what this king meant"
King Wen spoke.
Then he seemed quite embarrassed to speak, and the look of wanting to speak and stopping really made Li Xipin even more confused.
"Your Highness, if you have something, you might as well say it directly, I will definitely help if I can help"
King Wen looked at Li Xipin deeply, then coughed dryly, leaned forward a little and whispered: "Master Li, since this is the case, this king will also say it directly."
"This king heard that the Holy Ancestor and several ancestors went to the prince's dormitory together and threatened the prince to protect you... Ignorance... Master Li, do you know the Holy Virtue Ancestor?"
Li Xipin was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood everything.
King Wen is here to find a relationship.
"Rather... Knowing"
When it comes to this, Li Xipin has no need to hide it, and generously admits it.
"Then I don't know the relationship between Master Li and the Holy Ancestor... Oh, what this king means, can I ask you to go to the Holy Virtue Ancestor and say a few kind words, even... Even let the Holy Ancestor directly talk to my father and let me go with the army on the expedition?"
"And me, Brother Li, I want to go too"
"Count me in"
"I'll go too"
Liu Zhengyuan and the three of them also hurriedly agreed.
After saying that, the four of them stared at Li Xipin, their eyes full of expectation.
"This... It's not impossible, but why do you all want to go so much?"
Li Xipin is very incomprehensible, he wants to get ahead, he wants to be promoted, there are many ways, why are they all rushing to go out with the army?
Isn't it more beneficial for the prince to go on expeditions abroad? Isn't it good to develop his power at home with peace of mind? Even if the national war is victorious, and the prince has some military merits, what does it matter?
Isn't it easy for Liu Zhengyuan and the three of them to be promoted to the National Academy of Advanced Study, and to step into the official career? Coupled with the relationship in their family, they are still on the rise? Why do they also want to go to the battlefield so much?
"This... Let's talk to you about this king.
This expedition was the father of more than a dozen ancestors who were jointly persecuted, and his attitude was resolute, and he was bound to take down a country.
If I can really conquer the North Star Kingdom, my Pilgrimage Kingdom will have the territory of two kingdoms, and I can take advantage of the situation to promote the dynasty.
At that time, the prince who accompanied the army is likely to be truly divided into kings, and at the worst he will be able to take charge of a county, and the appointment and dismissal of officials under his command will be in the hands of one person, as if it were a country within a country, and at that time..."
After King Wen finished speaking, he also gave Li Xipin a "you know" look, and the faces of Liu Zhengyuan and the three of them were also full of excitement, as if they had already been crowned marquis.
I see...
The waters of this kingdom are so deep...
