Chapter Fifty-Six, Crazy Plans
With Dongfang Ming's words, everyone dispersed, and Ji Lingyun and Dongfang Dongming entered the Ji Mansion.
In the main hall, Dongfang Ming and Ji Lingyun had very gloomy faces, and they didn't mean to speak.
For a long time, Dongfang Ming seemed to be unable to bear it anymore and said: "Liu Xiang, this old horseman is really too much, is it possible that he thinks I don't dare to kill him?"
"Is that person really Liu Kun?" Ji Lingyun asked after thinking for a while.
"Yes, Liu Kun came to the palace once back then, and I can clearly recognize this person as Liu Kun 100%. Dongfang Ming said.
"But why did Liu Kun break into your mansion?" Dongfang Ming asked puzzled.
"I think it has something to do with the recent movement in the martial arts arena. Ji Lingyun knew that Dongfang Ming was also curious about what was going on behind him, and he had to say it.
"What the hell are you doing in your backyard? Dongfang knew that his thoughts were torn, and he said without blushing.
"Why don't I take you to see it?" Ji Lingyun said as he looked at Dongfang Ming.
Dongfang Ming also looked at Ji Lingyun, hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, this is your family's secret, I don't care about it." ”
"Since Your Majesty is unwilling, I will give up. Ji Lingyun said with a disappointed face, Dongfang Ming, who was watching, wanted to rush up and hack this hypocritical guy to death.
"What's going on over there in the Southwest Camp?" Dongfang Ming asked.
"The situation is not very rosy. Ji Lingyun said.
"What's going on?"
"Several of the spies sent out were killed, and no useful clues were found, but one thing was certain. Ji Lingyun said.
"Oh?" Dongfang Ming fixed his eyes on Ji Lingyun and waited for Ji Lingyun's words.
"The Dajin Empire and the Fiery Empire have formed an alliance, not just an alliance, to be exact, the two countries have become one, and Liu Xiang has already taken refuge in them. Ji Lingyun pondered the words and said.
"The emperors of these two empires are not simple figures, and they are not convinced by each other, why is one of them willing to bow his head?" Dongfang Ming asked puzzled.
"The message from the spies made me feel that it was not one of them bowing their heads, but both of them bowing their heads. Ji Lingyun said.
"Both of them bowed their heads?" Dongfang Ming's brows tightened.
"Yes, I suspect that a sect has intervened. Ji Lingyun said.
"Zongmen?" After hearing these two words, Dongfang Ming's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Yes, but the specific situation will not be determined until the spies from the Dajin Empire send back information. Ji Lingyun said.
"Alas~ It's really a disaster, the matter of the orcs has not been solved yet, and the south has to face the hidden dangers of the sect. Dongfang Ming patted his forehead and said.
"If it really comes to the situation of being attacked on the belly and back, then it can only ... Ji Lingyun said, but his voice suddenly stopped.
"That's all there is to it. Dongfang Ming sighed helplessly, then thought of Ji Fengtian again, and asked, "How is Feng Tianxian's nephew?"
"Still can't invoke elemental power. Ji Lingyun said.
"In fact, it's not just the road of cultivating martial arts, with the mind of Feng Tianxian's nephew, I'm afraid it's on par with Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng. Dongfang Ming remembered what Ji Fengtian said in the imperial study four years ago, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Your Majesty has won the award, and there is still a big gap between Tian'er's intelligence and Zhuge Chengxiang. Ji Lingyun said.
"Have you ever won an award, I know in my heart that four years ago, Feng Tianxian's nephew's words, now that I think about it, I am still very shocked. Dongfang Ming said.
"It just happened to be right. Ji Lingyun said helplessly that his son was so missed.
"Did you tell him about the situation of the Dajin Empire?" Dongfang Ming looked at Ji Lingyun and suddenly asked.
"I've shown him before. Ji Lingyun said.
"Did he say anything?" Dongfang Ming said expectantly as he looked at Ji Lingyun.
"Anyway, there are some things that you can't use right now, but you can prepare in advance. Ji Lingyun said.
"Prepare in advance?Oh?What is Feng Tianxian's nephew's opinion?" Dongfang Ming became even more interested.
"Tian'er told me to send people to negotiate with the orcs first, but the requirements must be harsh, as harsh as they want, but they can't completely offend the orcs. ”
"Negotiations?"
"Yes, send someone to negotiate and stabilize the orcs, but you also have to be careful and find out the specific situation on the orc's side before proceeding to the next step. If the orcs don't want to negotiate or suspend the war, we will change our previous defensive policy and expand our territory into the northern wilderness. Ji Lingyun took a sip of water and continued: "If the orcs want to talk about it, first drag them down in the name of what to talk about, provide them with some food, stabilize their hearts, and at the same time beware of the sneak attack of the orcs." If the Southern Dakin Empire is ready to do something against us, we can march into the south with the Orc Alliance, and even if they don't want to, we can still hire the Orcs to send troops, and this mercenary is the most scarce material for the Orcs. ”
"Isn't Feng Tianxian's nephew afraid of the orcs backing the water?" Dongfang Ming asked with puzzlement.
"I also asked Tian'er about this, and Tian'er replied to me, 'Orcs have a higher credibility than humans because they have faith. If I had to choose between Daikin and our alliance against orcs and orcs and our alliance against Daikin, I would not hesitate to choose with the orc alliance against Daikin and the orc alliance, at least I don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. ’。 Ji Lingyun said with a wry smile.
"Uh... In the eyes of this kid, humans are not as good as orcs. Dongfang Ming also smiled bitterly.
"I don't know how I gave birth to such a rebellious boy. Ji Lingyun said.
"Be content, if it were my son, I would be happy and sleepless for a few days. Dongfang Ming said enviously.
"Huh, Your Majesty, you're here too. Zhuge Qingming walked in from outside the main hall and was surprised to see Dongfang Ming.
"Why is Prime Minister Zhuge here?" Dongfang Ming was also very puzzled.
"Oh, my little rabbit hasn't been home for a long time, and today I was sent a message saying that he wanted to take a leave of absence from the academy for a while, so I didn't come to see what was going on. Zhuge Qingming said helplessly.
"Hearing you say that, I remember that Saitama didn't seem to have been back for a long time. Either they left in a hurry after arriving in the palace for a while, could they be together?" Dongfang Ming also remembered Dongfang Saitama's recent abnormality, you must know that Dongfang Saitama usually does not leave the palace when he is on vacation.
After Dongfang Ming's words fell, the eyes of both of them focused on Ji Lingyun, and Ji Lingyun smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like that, they are indeed together, but it is not you who were abducted by our family, it is you who don't want to leave." ”
"What exactly are they doing?" Zhuge Yun asked as he looked at Ji Lingyun.
"Cultivation, otherwise what else?" Ji Lingyun said with a roll of his eyes.
"Can I go and take a look?" asked Zhuge Yunhu suspiciously.
"No!" Ji Lingyun replied without thinking. Then I thought that this was someone else's son, looked at Zhuge Qingming's dark face and said, "I'll ask people to call them, and then you can talk to each other face to face." ”
"Someone, go and call the three young masters. Ji Lingyun commanded outside the door.
After receiving the order, one of the guards outside the door walked towards the backyard and soon appeared on the martial arts arena.
"Young Master, Your Majesty the Emperor, Prime Minister Zhuge and the general have called you over. The guard stood outside and said to the three men and the beasts who were in full swing in the middle of the field.
The three of them stopped moving, ran out, asked the guards a few words, and walked towards the front hall.
"Shall we change our clothes?" asked Dongfang Saitama.
"What kind of clothes to change, this way will show that the three of us are not fooling around, otherwise we will be misunderstood. Zhuge Qingming said.
"But my clothes are torn into strips, so it would be very rude to see my father, and I still have injuries on my body. Dongfang Saitama said worriedly.
"Don't worry, no, I'm afraid it's too late for your father to be happy, and he will release his momentum and give himself a long face. Zhuge Qingming said.
"How many layers of cultivation have I revealed?" asked Dongfang Saitama.
"Silly, of course it's the eighth layer, otherwise, how embarrassed are you. Zhuge Qingming rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Saitama, you are the crown prince, you don't have to keep a low profile like us, otherwise, it will be detrimental to your fight for the throne, and it will also make Your Majesty have a little more confidence in you. Ji Fengtian said.
"Alright!" Oriental Saitama agreed.
In this way, Dongfang Ming, Ji Lingyun, and Zhuge Yun saw three trios who were ragged and covered with dirt and had more or less injuries on their bodies entering the main hall.
"You are ... Dongfang looked at the three of them puzzled.
"Father, we'll talk to each other later. Dongfang Saitama said.
"Sparring?" Dongfang Saiyu looked at them suspiciously, and then his body shook, and his eyes at Dongfang Saiyu also became hot, and he said with a trembling voice: "Yu'er, have you cultivated to the seventh layer of martial arts?"
"Yes, Father. Dongfang Saitama said without hesitation.
"Come, let Father take a good look at you. Dongfang Ming stood up excitedly, pulled Dongfang Saiyu to his side, looked carefully, and input the elemental power into Dongfang Saitama's body, sensing it, and after a long time, Dongfang Ming slowly opened his eyes.
"The eighth layer of martial arts does not have any unstable foundation, on the contrary, the power of the elements is very strong. The shocked look in Dongfang Ming's eyes gradually receded.
Dongfang Ming stood up, walked in front of Ji Fengtian, and bowed to Ji Fengtian under everyone's surprised gaze.
Ji Fengtian dodged sideways, looked at Dongfang Ming and said, "Your Majesty." What are you doing here?"
Zhuge Yun and Ji Lingyun also got up one after another, looking at Dongfang Ming, with a strange look in their eyes. Dongfang Ming straightened up and said, "Saitama's progress should be your credit, right?"
"No, it's the result of Saitama's own efforts. Ji Fengtian said.
"If it was just Saitama's efforts, without your help, Saitama would not be where he is today, as a father, I am truly grateful to you. Dongfang Ming said sincerely.
"Your Majesty, you are too polite, Saitama and I are good brothers, and we don't want this brother to be alienated from us. Ji Fengtian said in a serious tone.
"Okay, well, Yu'er can become brothers with you is also what I want to see the most. Dongfang Ming said with relief.
"Feng Tianxian's nephew, can you tell me what happened today?" Dongfang Ming asked.
Ji Fengtian thought about it and said the news he got from Liu Kun's mouth.
After listening to Ji Fengtian's words, Dongfang Ming's palms suddenly lined up on the table, and said angrily: "This matter was really planned by Liu Xiang and Liu Daoxing, father and son, and Liu Yu'er, they want to separate the relationship between me and the Ji family, and at the same time, they can find out the details of your current situation, and they can also improve Qin'er's status in my mind." ”
"Your Majesty, we can only pretend not to know about this matter, now is not the best time to start a war with Liu Xiang. Zhuge Yun said.
"If it weren't for this reason, I would have chopped Liu Xiang's old puppet alive a long time ago. Dongfang Ming gritted his teeth and said.
"Does Feng Tianxian's nephew have any detailed plans for negotiating with the orcs before?"
"Negotiate with the orcs?" Zhuge Yun looked at Dongfang Ming and Ji Fengtian in confusion.
Seeing Zhuge Yun's doubts, Ji Lingyun pulled Zhuge Ming aside and explained the matter in detail. After Zhuge Yun learned about this incident, his heart was turbulent, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
"This doesn't need a detailed plan, as long as the negotiation team doesn't let anyone else know, even anyone other than a few of us, you can find a few eloquent people to go to the orc tribe, fight the orcs there, and wait for the next development of the situation. But these people who are sent out must have the consciousness of mortality. Ji Fengtian said.
"What is the content of the negotiation?"
"It's simple, we can sell them food, clothing and other daily necessities, but they have to provide some ore from the Northern Wilderness as a trade. Ji Fengtian said.
"Wouldn't that be too easy?"
"This is a matter of last resort, and we are now going to co-opt them, so that their armies can be mixed with us and accept the dispatch of the kingdom together, so that they will naturally not be willing. ”
"Doesn't that anger the orcs?"
"So I suggest that Your Majesty find a few eloquent people, so that the crisis can be resolved. Ji Fengtian shrugged helplessly, it was impossible for him to arrange everything, negotiate with the orcs, the situation was changing rapidly, and it was impossible for him to grasp this degree when he was no longer around.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go when I get back. Dongfang Ming said.
"Let the messenger bring some food, although the orcs have a beast in their name, they don't eat people, and we don't have an undying hatred, we can use some of their most scarce supplies to stabilize or bribe some orcs first, if we can make them unified, or have a conflict with their current leader, it would be great. ”
After listening to Ji Fengtian's words, Dongfang Ming didn't stay any longer, and directly returned to the palace with the Praetorian Guard. Zhuge Yun had to go to see what was in the martial arts arena, but in the end he couldn't stand it, so he could only take Zhuge Yun to see it.
When he saw all kinds of high-level demon beasts entrenched in the martial arts arena, Rao is Zhuge Yun couldn't say a word that was shocked when he had a thousand ideas.
In the end, Zhuge Yun gave Zhuge Qingming an order in front of everyone, asking him to cultivate hard in the Ji family, and not to go home if he can't become a congenital.
"Eh, does Uncle Zhuge think that our family can mass-produce innate martial artists?" Ji Fengtian said with a wry smile.
"I'd be happy if it could be mass-produced. Ji Lingyun said a word and went back.
Looking at the back of the two leaving, Ji Fengtian was speechless for a while, but when his father's words sounded, Ji Fengtian's heart couldn't help but move, and he called Ji Yue and asked Ji Yue to pull out a hundred people with good qualifications from the guards, who were in the realm of martial arts perfection and had strong will.
"Although it is impossible for me to cultivate these people from the grassroots level little by little, I can squeeze their potential and see if I can stimulate them to enter the innate realm. Ji Fengtian's eyes showed a light of thought.
In the evening, Ji Yue came to Ji Fengtian's side with a hundred martial arts perfect guards, Ji Fengtian glanced at these people and said, "Do you want to break through the innate realm?"
When everyone heard Ji Fengtian's words, they didn't know what this little general wanted to do, but they still didn't hesitate to reach: "I want to!"
"Okay, I'll give you this chance. Ji Fengtian said.
Hearing Ji Fengtian's words, everyone looked at each other, thinking that their ears had heard it wrong, but their hearts were full of illusions, and they looked at Ji Fengtian with burning eyes.
"I can't guarantee that you will be able to break through 100%, and even put your lives in danger. Ji Fengtian said again.
"If you want to quit now, you can quit!"
After finishing speaking, Ji Fengtian's eyes swept over each of the guards, and to his satisfaction, all the guards did not retreat.
"Okay! Early tomorrow morning, you will gather at the gate of Zhang Danshi. After Ji Fengtian finished speaking, he left.
The guards saw Ji Fengtian leaving, some left the martial arts arena, and some gathered together to discuss what Ji Fengtian had just said.
"What exactly does this mean, young master?" asked one of the guards.
"I don't know, but I know that the young master won't harm us, we can have today's cultivation, and the young master has made a great contribution, so no matter what the young master says, I will listen!" said a guard with a serious face, as if he was a loyal believer in Ji Fengtian.
This guard was one of the several guards who were experimenting with pills in Zhang Fang's house at that time, and he knew that it was precisely because of Ji Fengtian's merits that Zhang Fang was allowed to study the Tong Xuan Dan, so that he could mass-produce guards above the fifth level of martial artists in the Ji family.
Hearing the guard's words, the rest of the guards didn't know what to say, but thinking that the prince was going to follow his own young master to cultivate, they suddenly felt that the guard was right.
"Grandpa Zhang, if we use the liquid I cultivated to refine the bodies of a hundred people, how long can the medicinal materials in our hands last?" Ji Fengtian asked.
"A hundred people? Are you crazy? If your quenching liquid is used on someone who is not strong-willed, it is likely to cause casualties. Zhang Fang said in surprise.
"But the results are also remarkable. Ji Fengtian said.
"I can ask people to go out and collect these things, when are you going to use them?" Knowing that no one could change what Ji Fengtian had decided, Zhang Fang asked dryly.
