Chapter 392: Crowned Marquis

As soon as Murong Yunfan's words came out, the civil and military officials below were all stunned, and even Murong Han was stunned.

At first glance, his words make sense, but when you think about it, they don't. If Murong Ying is the next imperial king, and he holds a wedding with the sword envoy, does that mean that the identity of the sword envoy is even above her as a king? Not only that, if he really has an heir, he is a descendant of Murong, but it is also the bloodline inheritance of the sword envoy.

If this really continues, then wouldn't the Murong family's world be easily handed over to others? Could it be that Murong Yunfan, the marquis, didn't think of this.

But then, Murong Han, who was sitting on the high platform, was even more unexpected, laughing and saying, "What my brother said is exactly what I want... In this way, from today onwards, the empire will cancel the post of sword commander, and specially appoint Lan Jiu as the sword marquis, take charge of the military power of the whole country, and dispatch all soldiers and horses... Fully assist Yingying and protect the country wholeheartedly, I don't know if Lan Jiu has any objections?"

Murong Han's words fell, and his gaze fell directly on Lan Jiu, waiting for his return.

Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, he had just recovered from the sword wound, and he came directly to participate in this court discussion, so he didn't talk to Murong Yunfan beforehand. However, after glancing at Murong Han and Murong Yunfan, he still stood up and said firmly, "The minister has no objection, and he is willing to spend his life protecting the eldest princess and the empire!"

Just kidding, although Murong Han asked so, how could Lan Jiu dare to say half a word?

Even if Murong Han has always been very good to Lan Jiu, if Lan Jiu rejects Murong Han in front of all the civil and military officials, how can he, the king, gain a foothold? Where can Murong Ying, the eldest princess, put face?

Murong Han nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, since everyone has no objections, then the canonization ceremony will be held on a certain day, and you Aiqing will disperse!"

After the civil and military officials left, only the two brothers of the Murong family were still in this hall. Murong Yunfan sighed helplessly and said in a low voice, "Brother Huang, if I make such a decision for you today, will you hate me?"

"Hate, don't hate! All of this is forced by the situation, and how can you control it!" Murong Han sighed helplessly, "What's more, the world says that my Murong family enjoys all the glory and wealth, but sitting on this seat, how can we ever get half a point of happiness?"

Murong Yunfan smiled slightly and said in a low voice, "Yes... Brother Huang, it is precisely because of this that I made such a decision! Lan Jiu's personality is also obvious to all, as long as he is cultivated a little, this country will definitely become stronger and stronger under his leadership... What's more, Brother Huang, you are still young now, and the days ahead will be very long, as long as you guide them more, Xiao Jiu and Ying Ying will definitely bring this country on the right path!"

Murong Han also smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "When I passed on his Wang Jian, I also had such a plan, but I didn't expect it to come so soon! Floating fame and praise are all vain, as long as this country can be well, I really don't mind who the future monarch will be!"

This is probably the so-called boundless love, for the sake of this country, the Murong clan really paid too much.

Murong Yunfan said in a low voice, "Actually, I have my own selfish intentions after all... Lan Jiu is good at everything, but he is too affectionate, Lan Jiu is destroyed, once he gets revenge, I am afraid that he will also end his life. But he is my apprentice after all, so I hope that through marriage, he will have something in his heart, and it can be regarded as a little more worry!"

Nodding slightly, Murong Han didn't say anything, but moved his gaze to a complex map. A trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly, "Then now, it's time for us to concentrate on revenge... The demon clan has touched my bottom line again and again, okay, I'll let him know what is terrible!"

Looking into the distance as well, Murong Yunfan said with a smile, "Don't worry, Xiao Jiu won't let us down!"

On the other side, Lan Jiu had just left the palace, and there were congratulations all around. Li Yixiang and the others were also in official positions, so they were naturally in this palace, congratulating Lan Jiu one after another. However, Ah Ke also frowned and asked, "Senior Brother Lan Jiu... You're not going to be with us after you become the Sword Commander, are you?"

"Senior Sister Ake, look at what you're thinking!" Lan Jiu flicked Ake's head lightly and said in a low voice, "You see that with such a big official position as Marquis Murong, isn't he also with us?" As for us, this big battle is imminent, and I, the Sword Commander, will definitely appear on the front line with everyone!"

Before he finished speaking, a hurried footstep came, Lan Jiu was slightly stunned, and hurriedly looked, it turned out to be the general of the Fourth Army, Li Xiaofeng.

Lan Jiu hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with General Li?"

"Haha, I didn't expect General Lan to advance so quickly. Not long ago, he was still unofficial and unemployed, and then from General Sanpin to General Yipin, and now he is a prince, and I am here to congratulate Marquis Lan!" Li Xiaofeng said with a chuckle.

Lan Jiu raised his hand slightly, "General Li, you're welcome, I've been able to get this far, thanks to your promotion... I think General Li has something to say, right? There's no need to hide it!"

Li Xiaofeng nodded and said with a smile, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from General Lan, but I have something to report to you here... This time the rebellion of Ningxue Immortal Mountain, I made a preliminary estimate after the war, after this period of loss, the original 1.5 million troops in the imperial capital are now only 1 million, and the battle damage is serious!"

"Well, that's true, the three princes of the imperial capital mutinied before, and then the Seventh Army was destroyed, and now after this Ningxue Immortal Mountain, the human race has indeed suffered heavy losses. But General Li has always been known for his iron and bloody skills on the battlefield, I think what you told me today is not just about this matter, right?" Lan Jiu asked.

Li Xiaofeng said, "Naturally, it's not so simple, I don't know if we know this battle damage, and the demon clan also knows... During this time, although the demon clan suffered huge losses, the speed at which they replenished was much faster than ours. And just yesterday, our scouts noticed the condensation of the demon army, and it seemed that they were preparing to start a big war. This meeting caught up with the prince's funeral, and it was not good for me to take this matter to the table again, but it was definitely not a trivial matter for the demon clan to suddenly make such a move, and I would like to ask Marquis Lan and Wang Shang to discuss it early!"

When the words fell, everyone took a breath of cold air, this practice of taking advantage of his illness to kill him was really the style of the Shadow Demon King.

Lan Jiu arched his hand and respected, "General Li is conscientious, and the younger generation admires it, I will immediately present this matter to the king, and please rest assured!"

And at this time, among the army of the demon clan, as Li Xiaofeng said, the army had already condensed, waiting for an order to invade the land of mankind. The Shadow Demon King sat on a high throne, his palm gently brushing a sharp blade in front of him, and whispered, "It's almost ... I can take this world right away, and when you return, this is my gift to you!"

The voice was very soft, and it gradually disappeared into the wind.

A hurried footstep came, it was the Bat Demon King, who was in charge of the demon clan's intelligence.

But I saw a trace of fear flashing on the Bat King's face, then looked at the Shadow Demon King, and said in a low voice, "Lord Demon King, although the human side has suffered heavy losses this time, the foundation is still extremely rich. Is it really wise to send troops now?"

The Shadow Demon King thought for a moment expressionlessly, and then said with a smile, "The human race is certainly powerful, but this time, with the loss of three sons one after another, does Murong Han's old man still have the heart to fight against us? In this battle, I don't need to conquer the human race, but Murong Han, that old thing, must die!"

The Bat King thought about it, but still asked the doubts in his heart, "Lord Demon King, is it really worth it for us to do this?" The loss of the seventh human army is gratifying, but the price is an army of more than 100,000 people of the demon clan, not only that, but the three demon kings died tragically among them, and we don't make any money on this account... As for the change in the Snow Immortal Mountain this time, the Snow Demon Clan was all destroyed, although they broke away from the Demon Clan very early, but they are also members of the Demon Clan, and this loss is still borne by our Demon Clan after all!"

The Shadow Demon King's face was slightly cold, he looked at him, his eyes were cold, and he said sharply, "Why, you guys are doubting my decision!"

"It's... Don't dare, don't dare!" The Bat King quickly knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake in a low voice. On his cheeks, a trace of cold sweat oozed out, he actually forgot a little, the woman in front of him was the chaotic shadow demon king in the demon clan, her decision, who dared to question her decision?

With a flick of the Shadow Demon King's palm, it seemed that she was in a good mood today, and she didn't delve into it with the Bat Demon King.

The palm of his hand was raised slightly, and he gently stroked the sharp blade, and then laughed in a low voice, "How can the three demon kings, the snow demon clan, be compared to this final victory? Don't forget, the biggest goal of our demon clan is to welcome the return of the demon emperor!"

"You... Do you mean, Lord Demon Emperor, you're coming back?" the Bat King was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, his whole body trembling.

It's just that the air fluctuated, and the Chaos Demon King disappeared in place, leaving only an ethereal voice to come, "There are some things that shouldn't be asked, don't ask, when it's time for you to know, I will naturally tell you... Let the army prepare and march tomorrow, for the sake of the Demon Emperor, we must win this battle!"

The words fell, and there was no more sound of the Chaos Demon King.

The revival of the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor is the most important thing for the entire demon clan, and all the demon clans are willing to fight for him. But in fact, the only person who has the closest connection with the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor is the Chaos Demon King, the seven-tailed demon fox. If the Demon Emperor really recovers, the first person to perceive it will inevitably be her.
