Chapter Eighty-Six: The Storm

"After the end of the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion four years ago, the situation of the Eighteen Great Powers has actually changed, and now the big countries that can be called are not only our three northern kingdoms, but also the Wu Kingdom, Tianzhu Kingdom and Minglan Kingdom in the southeast, and the Yong Kingdom and Tianyang Kingdom in the southwest."

Wu Jinghong's movements stopped, and he added a white piece on the chessboard again, and continued in a subdued voice, "Strictly speaking, in fact, there are only twelve countries left in our Great Plains, as far as I know, there are still two countries that choose to be attached to, and there are still marriages between several other countries. ”

"Hasn't it always been that way?" Jiuzun furrowed his brows, his eyes were cold, these dependent countries, the countries of marriage, were not changes, but relationships that existed a hundred years ago.

Wu Jinghong shook his head, and the sunspots in his hands landed heavily on the chessboard, knocking out a few white pieces that were clustered into a pile.

"Attachment and marriage used to be just for the sake of harmony with each other, but now they are different."

"Before the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion, there was little contact between countries, each in its own country, without interference with each other, that is, marriage and dependence, in fact, there was not much meaning. The big countries only have a deterrent effect everywhere, but the Eighteen Emperors Rebellion broke such a convention, and many countries were united and began to be a country, and the big countries at this time became particularly important. ”

Wu Jinghong's voice was light and light, but these words carried quite a heavy weight, and Jiuzun's heart was heavy when he heard it, as a battlefield killing god, although he was not so sensitive to state affairs, but the chess pieces on the chessboard were all familiar to him when he arranged his troops.

"At present, it is inconvenient for us to communicate with the south, and the news exchange is delayed for too long, and no one knows what the situation in the south is now, but the third senior brother has sent a message to me, asking me to be vigilant against the movements of the Wu Kingdom. Jiuzun, do you still remember Nangong Chen, who united with the hundred officials of the Cloud Kingdom to harm me? ”

After finishing speaking, Wu Jinghong smiled apologetically, "I almost forgot, you don't know anything anymore." ”

"Then what's wrong with Nangong Chen? What does it have to do with the kingdom of Witchcraft? Jiuzun secretly frowned and gritted his teeth, and his heart was more urgent about detoxification.

"Nangong Chen himself has nothing to do with Wuguo, he is from Tianzhu, but he has had a marriage contract with the princess of Wuguo since he was a child, which is an extra connection." Wu Jinghong smiled slightly, and picked up a sunspot again, "There is a small country between the Wu Kingdom and the Tianzhu Kingdom, and it borders the Minglan Kingdom, and these three countries all have a marriage relationship, do you know what this means?" ”

"They're going to join forces?"

"Yes, it is not easy for the third senior brother to survive in the Hua country, but also because the people of these three countries are struggling, so I checked it a little, and found that the real purple phoenix totem is in the territory of the Wu country."

"Real ...... Purple Phoenix Totem? Jiuzun was stunned for a moment, and then shocked, "You mean the purple phoenix totem in the Wolong Palace?" ”

Wu Jinghong smiled and said nothing, such a prophecy that seemed to be true and false, rumors and the like, she still didn't know whether to believe it or not, if it was really as the prophecy said, wouldn't it mean that the Wu Kingdom would unify the Great Plains, and then clean up the desert and the sea?

Jiuzun frowned and muttered, "I saw it in the Wolong Hall when I was young, but after the imperial brother succeeded to the throne, he wrapped that wall, and I never saw it again." If, if the Wolong Hall is false, and what the Witch Kingdom appears is true, then what the prophecy says is not ......"

"Jiuzun, don't be impatient." Wu Jinghong stroked Jiuzun's hand lightly and comforted, "This prophecy only says that the day of the purple phoenix's reappearance is the time of the Great Plains rule, but it doesn't mean that whoever appears in the house is the master of the family, isn't it?" ”

Who knew that Jiuzun suddenly grinned, and his phoenix eyes burst out with dazzling brilliance, staring straight into Wu Jinghong's eyes, "Heh! Needless to ask, even if you appear in the Witch Kingdom, it's up to you to decide! ”

Wu Jinghong was stunned and looked at Jiuzun in confusion.

"You know, what you see in your eyes is not a person, not a flower, a grass or a tree." Jiuzun stretched out his hand and probed into Wu Jinghong's face, "Since I saw you for the first time, this king has a hunch, your eyes contain all things in the world, you are smart and wise, brave and strategic, what kind of goods is that in the Wu Kingdom?" Even if they guard the purple phoenix totem every day, they will definitely not get this world! ”

Wu Jinghong's eyes instantly changed a variety of colors, and his eyes slowly became a little wet.

It turned out that the so-called glimpse of the flood was not her world-class appearance.

It turned out that when she was a child, the original princess of Yunguo was a big woman with a strong martial strategy and a natural warp and weft.

It turns out that there is nothing wrong with the path she has chosen, as long as she persists, she will be worthy of her heart and her original owner!

She originally just wanted to live, but when she found out about the corruption and incompetence of the Yunguo court, she didn't hold back her anger for a while, which triggered the follow-up. The reform of the imperial court was also carried out silently under her arrangement.

"With this king here, you can rest assured, since you and this king have been married, from now on, no one can bully you, insult you, hurt you, and harm you!"

Jiuzun's voice was full of categorism and obligation.

With tears in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth, Wu Jinghong slowly put down the sunspot in his hand.

"With your words, I will be at ease." Wu Jinghong pointed to a sunspot, and said in a gentle voice, "It's just that now that your Shuo country is about to encounter an accident, can you solve it?" ”

Jiuzun raised his eyebrows and saw that the sunspot was next to the other two sunspots, which were the three kingdoms of Shuo, Ju and Yun.

"Just like you said, just save Liao Wang Mingyuenan and send it to Chen Guo safely."

Wu Jinghong shook his head, and said with a heavy face, "Do you know, where did your father get the poison of the Wu Kingdom to control Qin Annan?" Where did Qin Annan get the medicine to control the three of you, father and son? Why is all this related to Umno? ”

“…… What do you mean is that the kingdom of Umno intends to ......"

"I have just said that the country of Ju is not a climate, and the country of Shuo is now controlled by Qin Annan, have you ever thought that if this Qin Annan is actually a person from the Wu country, then the current situation of the country of Shuo is precarious!"

Jiuzun glared coldly, wanting to refute but felt that what Wu Jinghong said was indeed very reasonable.

"Therefore, this time we categorically cannot let King Liao be trapped in the imperial capital, this matter is urgent, we must make plans in advance and send King Liao out before Qin Annan and Jiuyao make a move. Qin Annan just wants to use Chen Guo to start a war, cause chaos, and take the throne of Shuo when Shuo is caught off guard. ”

Jiuzun stood up suddenly, coldly, as if there was a cold pool in his phoenix eyes, "She, don't dare!" ”

What he wants to say is not that she doesn't dare, but that she won't.

But thinking of his handsome imperial brother, as well as the ruined palace, the unsightly queen Mingyuexi......

All of this seemed to show him something.

"Whatever they're going to do, we're going to be right to do it, because it's going to be a very risky thing to do." Wu Jinghong put away the chess pieces one by one slowly and methodically, without any nervousness, "I have already arranged it, as long as King Liao appears ten miles outside the city, we can wait in disguise and in the place where we have stepped on." When King Liao enters the imperial capital, if he can be safe until the night, he will rob people at night, and if he does it during the day, then he will act at the opportunity. ”

Jiuzun glanced at Wu Jinghong and said coldly, "You don't have to come forward, this king alone is enough." ”

"Inadequate!" Wu Jinghong glared back unceremoniously, "Your heart is not complete now, who knows if you will have a brain and try to believe them?" If Jiu Yao comes forward in person, he will definitely be able to stop you in a few words, and when the time comes, I will lose my wife and soldiers, and it will be too worthwhile. ”

"You...... Is this king such an unreliable man? is poisonous, and this king can be decisive! ”

"Then why did you enter the palace overnight? Didn't the queen die before your eyes? Why didn't you go to your royal brother to confront him? ”

Jiuzun choked, but he had nothing to say.

"There is no need to dispute at this time, unless you subdue me by force and forcibly send me away, I must act with you." Wu Jinghong glanced at Jiuzun indifferently, as if he had seen through his thoughts.

Jiuzun withdrew his hand that was about to move, snorted coldly, twisted his body and fell on the couch, thinking about what to do alone.

Wu Jinghong slowly put away the chess pieces, and when he picked up the last white chess piece, he suddenly sighed inexplicably.

The third senior brother's flower country is not a big country, and even if he is sandwiched between the big countries and struggles to survive, even so, he will not forget to send him the news of the south at this time. Shouldn't I give something in return?

At noon the next day, the envoys of the State of Chen, headed by Ming Yuenan, the king of Liao, arrived at the imperial capital of Shuo.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Shuo is out of the palace!"

Wu Jinghong raised his head, glanced at Jiuzun, and said confidently, "Sure enough, he greeted him personally, it seems that King Liao's actions are more auspicious, and we have to act immediately." ”

"The subordinates have arranged manpower near the city gate, and they will definitely stop King Liao before he enters the city!"

Wei Ting has always only reported things that he is sure of, and he must have made arrangements. Wu Jinghong nodded, "But Jiu Yao's exit from the city is definitely not a small battle, and he insists on taking King Liao's life, so it must be very difficult this time, and if we order it, our purpose is just to take King Liao away and keep him safe, and we don't have to care about anything else." ”

"Your subordinates understand, please rest assured!" After Wei Ting finished speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiuzun, hesitated slightly, then bowed to Jiuzun and said sincerely, "His Royal Highness the King of Shura, Your Majesty will entrust it to you, this operation is very important, there are not many subordinates, it is difficult to protect Your Majesty closely, and when it is absolutely necessary, I hope that His Royal Highness the King of Shura will protect His Majesty thoroughly!" ”

Wu Jinghong smiled warmly, and also looked at Jiuzun.

Jiuzun raised his eyebrows and looked left and right, and said coldly, "Since we are already husband and wife, what should we do, this king knows it very well in his heart, and he still uses you to teach?" ”

"Yes, the subordinates have said more, and the subordinates have retired."
