Chapter 206: The Dragon's Lair
The royal city, the royal palace.
The Great Heavenly Master stayed on the king's side day and night, and since Vallan was ordered to leave the royal city, a whole day has passed now, and the Great Heavenly Master has been rumored to be divine by the outside world because of his occasional supernatural powers, perhaps because the kingdom needs such a person, and deliberately created such an identity.
Legend has it that he can divinate and predict the future, this is a fart, if he really has such great powers, he will not fall by the king's side and be a strategist.
He thanked the king for his kindness, so he tried his best to guard the king's side all his life, and never had a trace of disrespect, the king's body that would die at this moment could not support the state affairs that he had to deal with every day, and for a long time it was the great heavenly master who acted on behalf of the government, this was the secret between him and the king, except for the secret guard in the shadows, no one else knew.
"Hey......" The Great Celestial Master sat beside the king, sighing for a long time, in front of the king he always had to maintain that unfathomable image, so he was always smiling, only in the corners where others could not see, or as he is now, when the king was lying on the bed and sleeping.
Early this morning, the king suddenly woke up once, and the great heavenly master only came to tell him what had happened in the past two days, and the king was in low spirits, and after listening only for half an hour, he fell asleep again, and in the evening there was still no sign of waking up.
He sighed, firstly, because he had been troubled by the matter of the Broken Soul Valley outside the royal city in the past few days, he hoped that what he said in his hand was true, it was a real dragon egg, if he could obtain a drop of dragon blood, he could use the secret technique he obtained somewhere to continue the time for the king for more than ten years, so that the current turbulent situation could be self-defeating.
As long as the king is still in the day, there will never be chaos below, this is the authority of the king, and no one dares to shake it.
The Great Heavenly Master has countless eyeliners, and the big and small things in the palace have not escaped his eyes, even the things that the Great Prince thinks he has done, the Great Heavenly Master knows everything in detail, and he knows it clearly.
However, he chose to keep his mouth shut and did not tell the king that nominally, the eldest prince will always be the first heir to the country, but he can have good character, and he is not suitable for this position, but the second prince is more than a little better than the boss.
Therefore, the king risked a great disobedience and removed the position of the heir, leaving it undecided until now.
This is to unintentionally bury hidden dangers, although the eldest prince is not behaving properly, but this position is uncertain, it will make his sons under him have bad thoughts, everyone wants to sit in this position, more than a dozen people grab a chair, how to grab it?
Since ancient times, it has been set that the rules of the father's business and the eldest son's succession, who dares to violate it, and everything the king did in the original was actually weakening the status of his eldest son.
So the endless internal friction began, fighting openly and secretly everywhere, shaking back and forth, and as a result, it was just his own people who suffered.
And the king is in danger, everyone knows that his life is short, and the position of heir has been hanging there, and countless people who covet this position can't help but sigh.
The Great Heavenly Master alone struggled to support him, and if the king slept for a day, he would have to stay here for another day.
What makes him anxious now is Vallan, who led the army to the Valley of Broken Souls yesterday afternoon. The news has not come back for a long time, and he is in a hurry!
"Great Heavenly Master, the general is in a hurry to report!" A guard stepped on the ice with his military boots and made a "click" sound, but he didn't see anyone ask first, the Great Heavenly Master waited for thousands of times, and finally waited for his most concerned reply at present, if the authenticity of the dragon egg is determined, then the king will be saved!
In fact, it was only for a moment, but the Great Heavenly Master seemed to have experienced ten thousand years, when the messenger took out the bamboo tube sealed with fire paint and enshrined it in the court, the Great Heavenly Master's heart rose to his throat.
"Bring it up. ”
The messenger lowered his head, lifted the object above his head, and then slowly stepped up the steps to the curtain, and a pair of slender hands took the bamboo tube the length of a finger.
A moment later, the Great Celestial Master's "haha" laughter came from inside the curtain, and then the laughter stopped abruptly.
After a while, another new bamboo tube sealed with fire paint was handed to the messenger's hand, and the Great Heavenly Master solemnly advised: "Don't slack off at this time, the military plane is fleeting, give me the fastest speed to bring the news to the hands of the great marshal, do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Seeing the messenger leave the main hall, the expression of the Great Celestial Master Gujing Wubo actually smiled, in the letter, Vallan had already determined the authenticity of the dragon egg, and told in detail about his discovery, it was already that amazing dragon's nest.
"It's really a dragon's lair!" The Great Celestial Master's eyes burst out with an astonishing light, and he sketched a bold idea in his mind, If what Vallan said inside is true, then the dragon tomb outside may only be the tip of the iceberg, and it is not impossible that there are still living dragons hidden inside, if a few can be captured for the use of the barbarians, then the barbarian army will be invincible, and it will be ...... by then.
The Great Heavenly Master felt as if he had returned to his youth, the joy of scolding Fang Xuan, he was ready to do a big job!
"Order, send another 20,000 troops to Marshal Vallan, let them set off immediately, and rush to the Valley of Broken Souls as quickly as possible!"
A different voice appeared below, "Master Heaven...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”
"Why?" said the Great Heavenly Master frowning at the air below, that seemingly empty place actually concealed highly skilled guards, they were the personal guards cultivated by the king, and now they were temporarily under the control of the Great Heavenly Master.
"There are only 40,000 elite soldiers in the royal city, if 20,000 are sent, then the safety of the royal city will not be guaranteed, I think this matter is inappropriate, and please think twice. ”
"That's ......" the Great Heavenly Master thought quietly, he was now carried away by the dragon's nest, and after thinking about it, he found that this person's words made perfect sense.
So he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then listen to you, it's okay to adjust 10,000." ”
The man was silent for a moment, then said leisurely, "Barely enough." ”
"Then that's it, tell them that if it happens, I'll triple each person's salary, and let them roll up their sleeves for me!"
"Okay. The voice gradually faded away, and if you look carefully at the open space, you will find that it is like a gust of wind blowing, and after the Great Heavenly Master has given the order, I am still excited in my heart, God bless my barbarian.
Turning back to look at the king who was lying quietly on the dragon chair, the Great Heavenly Master's expression became a little gentle, and he poured out in his heart, "Back then, I was full of ambition and could have nowhere to show it, but you picked me up by so many people, I silently swore in my heart at that time, I will definitely fulfill your lifelong wish, so that the barbarians can set foot in the green land, so that every child can have a full stomach, no longer let hunger and cold threaten the lives of the people, so that they can all live with a smile, they will definitely be able to, believe me!"
