Chapter 183 Price
When the prince of Tianyuan, Meng Chi, went to see the Tianyuan Khan, the right king Charahan and the princess Xiao Yan could only wait in the prince's tent because they had not been summoned.
Meng Chi went for a much longer time than the two expected, so long that the two couldn't sit still, and they went out of the big tent together, and even planned to go outside the king's tent to have a look.
But at this moment, in the clear sky in the afternoon, there was a sudden thunderclap and thunder, and the sound exploded.
Immediately, the sea of clouds appeared, and the dragon and phoenix swam, converging over the king's tent from all directions, the speed was so fast that it was almost in the blink of an eye, but the flowing clouds of various shapes were clearly layered, and they were not abrupt at all.
In the next moment, on the majestic king's tent firmament, there was purple qi like a pillar, rushing straight to the bullfight, hitting the center of the sea of clouds, stirring thousands of visions. First, a vast whirlpool appeared, bottomless and mysterious, and then the sky stratus clouds all turned purple.
The entire royal court was shrouded in purple light, as if it was burned by purple flames, reflecting red for hundreds of miles, and like fog for thousands of miles.
The Tianyuan people in the tribe, whether they were dignitaries, masters and strongmen, ordinary people, businessmen and pawns, all walked out of the big tent and fell to the ground with awe and devotion in the direction of the royal court.
Xiao Yan and Youxian Wang were both shocked, and hurriedly bowed down at the same time.
Everyone knew that this was Tian Yuan Khan performing supreme cultivation.
In the Tian Yuan tribe, every existing cultivator is practicing the exercises created by the Tian Yuan Khan, and although the levels are different, the essence and meaning are the same.
As the existence at the top of the pyramid of this exercise, Tian Yuan Khan's supreme cultivation immediately resonated with the qi of all cultivators, and its most significant manifestation was the awe from the heart.
Among the countless people present, only a few dared to look up at the vision of the sky.
In the boundless purple qi, dragons fly and phoenixes dance, eagles soar and fish leap, tigers roar and wolves howl, dotted around, or run, or spread their wings, or kneel, lifelike, and they are all facing the whirlpool where the purple qi is most abundant in the center.
At this moment, in the pillar of purple light that connected the sky and the earth, there was suddenly a pearl-like blood-colored amber, which went against the trend from the king's tent, and was dazzling and breathtaking.
With the blood-colored pearl that was as red as it was about to drip blood, it flew into the deep whirlpool that was constantly spinning, as if it was about to chisel through the sky and communicate with the outer world, and the entire whirlpool suddenly shone like a sea of blood, sweeping all things.
Suddenly, in the depths of the whirlpool, a document like an unfolding holy decree fell leisurely like a feather.
It was so majestic and dazzling that when it appeared, it dwarfed and overshadowed the myriad visions that surrounded the whirlpool.
"Blood Purple Heavenly Book!"
The right sage king's heart was shocked, his face was complex and indescribable, there was fiery worship, there was also heartfelt fear, there was also a little worry, a few points of shame.
Xiao Yan's body trembled even more.
As one of the four most honorable people in the past under the Tianyuan Khan in the Tianyuan Royal Court, she knew very well what the "Blood Purple Heavenly Book" was, and she also understood what it meant for the Tianyuan Khan to perform this method at this moment.
In the endless royal court, ordinary shepherds who touched the ground with their heads couldn't help but start to tremble, as if they felt the pressure of the gods.
The dignitaries and dignitaries who cultivated for Gao Qiang to look up at this scene were wide-eyed, full of horror, full of fear of great power, and full of submission to Tianyuan Khan.
The heavenly book, fluttering like snowflakes, followed the purple pillar of light and fell into the king's tent in a very short time.
Then, the deep and vast whirlpool gradually disappeared, and all the aliens dissipated, the sky slowly returned to clarity, and the amber blood light in the royal court disappeared an inch.
Everything is back to normal.
Xiao Yan didn't get up for a long time.
She bit her lip, blood sliding down her white jaw, but she didn't realize it.
King Youxian also had a solemn face, his eyes were solemn, he looked at Xiao Yan and didn't say a word.
Not a word of concern was spoken.
I don't know how long it took, when the order of the royal court had completely returned to normal, and the clansmen were eagerly and excitedly talking about the vision of heaven and earth just now, and the strength of Tianyuan Khan, Meng Chi returned to the big tent.
His face was pale.
He sat down on the main seat and said nothing.
Neither King Youxian nor Xiao Yan opened their mouths to ask anything.
Although they are eager to know the answer.
After a long time, Meng Chi finally stabilized his mind and calmed his chaotic mind, then he looked at King Youxian and Xiao Yan, and said word by word: "There are no spies in the Southern Dynasty in the royal court!"
King Youxian and Xiao Yan were stunned at the same time.
If Wang Ting really didn't have any spies, how did Zhao Ning know that the Khitan Department and the Tianyuan Department were going to attack the Dadan Department? If he didn't know this news, how could he explain the scene arranged in the Xiaoye Department?
Xiao Yan and Charahan are both overturning the river and the sea in their hearts.
But they don't mean to question anything.
Because the answer is Tianyuan Khan, at the cost of consuming his own essence and blood, he used the "Blood Purple Heavenly Book" to deduce it, and it will definitely not be wrong.
Xiao Yan fell into deep thought, Charahan thought about it, and said astringently:
"In this way, that kid Zhao Ning, when the Xiaoye Department was making trouble, he didn't know about our war arrangement at all, and he didn't know that the Khitan Department was going to attack the Dadan Department!
"He let his people attack him in the name of the Khitan army, just to create the gimmick of the Khitan army attacking the Yanmen army, so that the Yanmen army can send troops to conquer the grassland!
At the same time, he also calculated the Prince of Dadan and pulled the Dadan Department into the water!
"In the final analysis, after the incident of Yanping City, the Zhao clan and other Southern Dynasty generals already have a heart for the grassland, and they will provoke a war by any means!
"We thought that Zhao Ning, this kid was far-reaching, thoughtful and decisive, but it turned out that in this matter, he was just a blind cat and hit a dead mouse, hateful!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yan with an unkind face.
Xiao Yan has been in Yanping City for many years, and she didn't think about this clearly in advance, which can be described as incompetent.
The news that Wang Ting had a spy was brought back by Xiao Yan, but in the end it turned out to be false, and Wang Ting paid a lot of price for it.
Not to mention the confusion caused by the previous investigation of this person, this time Tian Yuan Khan actually fought the secret method of the "Blood Purple Heavenly Book", and the essence consumed was a big problem.
Xiao Yan kept a calm face and did not speak.
Meng Chi is very affectionate to Xiao Yan's brothers and sisters again, and now looking at her eyes, there is not much kindness, and the look of annoyance and blame is obvious:
"The Southern Dynasty has been deeply suppressed by the civil officials of the Mendi over the years, and they are bent on reversing the situation, and war is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Your failure in Yanping City, the exposure of your forces, and finally let the Zhao family find an excuse, with this foreshadowing, the Zhao family dared to slander the Khitan Department to attack the Yanmen army.
"As soon as these two things are superimposed, the government and the opposition of the Southern Dynasty are bound to be excited, even if the civil officials of the Mendi are unwilling, they will not be able to stop the Southern Korean army from leaving the customs!
"And because we have always suspected the existence of this spy, we have acted in many constraints, so that we have fallen into such a field today. ”
Speaking of this, he took a deep breath and reluctantly suppressed the anger in his heart, "Originally, we only needed to attack the Dadan Department with thunder, and we could swallow up the Dadan Department and cause the established fact before the Southern Dynasties fought with each other and sent troops to the north.
"Then you only need to be more respectful to the Southern Dynasty, and then throw the Khitan Department out to attract the attention of the Southern Dynasty, and most of the troubles can be resolved, at least the Tianyuan Department will not suffer much criticism, and its strength will not be exposed too much.
"It's good now, the war hasn't started yet, the Yanmen army is already sure to participate in the war, not to mention how to fight the next war, once we fight with the Yanmen army in the war, we will inevitably have a grudge with the Southern Dynasty and become enemies of each other early!
"At the moment, we are not ready to fight with the Southern Dynasties, if we let the Southern Dynasties army invade the north on a large scale, what should we do?
These words are all facts, and every word is like a knife, stabbing Xiao Yan's heart like a wrench. Faced with the merciless rebuke of her brother, who had always taken care of her and loved her, she closed her eyes in pain.
She couldn't blame Meng Chi for being unkind, even if she failed in Yanping City before, and returned to the royal court in a panic like a lost dog, Meng Chi also made a face to her.
But now, because of the spy, because of her previous remarks about Daqi, Meng Chi, who believes in her, has misjudged the situation, and the royal court's plan to unify the grassland, wave the southern expedition, and conquer the world has been greatly affected.
This consequence is too serious, no matter how affectionate and righteous the prince is, he can't help but be disappointed in her.
Charahan felt that Meng Chi's accountability for Xiao Yan was not enough, he snorted coldly, stared at Xiao Yan and added:
"We have long known that the Yanmen Army and the Zhao clan are a big trouble, and it is likely to bring unexpected obstacles to our unification of the grassland, so a year ago, we had a plan for this trouble.
"Last year, if the plan to intercept and kill Zhao Ning, lure Zhao Beiwang and his wife to leave Yanmen Pass, and ambush and kill the masters of the Zhao family and the Yanmen army could succeed, now the Yanmen army has no leader, the backbone has been lost, and it has become a plate of scattered sand!
"The Zhao clan has suffered heavy losses, and Zhao Xuanji is bound to tear up with the civil officials of the Mendi, how can he still pay attention to the grassland? Even if the Yanmen army wants to get out of the pass, it is not capable of making a big move, and it is impossible to affect our war at all!
"Now, Zhao Ning, a long-time damned clown, can still jump around the grassland, making the situation the current situation, making us so passive...... How unreasonable!"
These words are almost equivalent to throwing Xiao Yan into the sea of swords and fire.
She was in great pain, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
The matter of going to Daizhou, the original plan was seamless, and there was no reason for failure, but she still failed to do it when she went to Daizhou City in person.
It's her responsibility.
It was precisely because she failed to kill and maim Zhao Ning at that time that her forces were uprooted and defeated in Yanping City, which put the Tianyuan Royal Court in the current dilemma!
Xiao Yan regretted and wanted to die.
She's not useless, she's doing the opposite!
She is no longer the minions of the Tian Yuan clan, she can only be regarded as the rat poop of the Tian Yuan Royal Court.
Prior to this, whether it was the failure of Daizhou's conspiracy or the defeat in Yanping City, although Xiao Yan blamed herself, she still thought that there was a secret leak from the royal court, and the responsibility was not all on her.
When Zhao Ning was in the prison of Dali Temple, when she told her the news that Wang Ting was a traitor, although she was shocked, she didn't want to hope that it was true. Only in this way is her fault less.
But now, it turns out that all her failures are only because of her incompetence, and there is no other reason.
She was once again toyed with by Zhao Ning. She is like a monkey, being played by Zhao Ning.
She heard a buzzing in her head, and her vision suddenly became confused, and the sky spun around, her chest tightened, and she could barely breathe.
Neither Meng Chi nor Charahan looked at Xiao Yan again.
No matter how much you say to her now, it's useless, you can't sacrifice her flag, right?
"Prince, do we still want to fight this war?" asked Meng Chi.
The Great Khan means that no matter whether we fight or not, the Yanmen army will go out of the pass in a big way and take action against us. So we have to get ahead of the curve and go now!
"If we don't defeat the Dadan Department at this time and complete the deployment of unifying the grassland, the situation will probably be worse in the future. Only by unifying the grasslands can we better confront the Southern Dynasties, so we must not retreat from this battle!"
Meng Chi said murderously, "As for whether the national war with Daqi will start early, it is already difficult for us to control, so we can only take one step at a time." ”
Charahan bowed his head solemnly, at this time, the original plan of Meng Chi to go south to confuse Daqi naturally did not need to be carried out again, but he was not afraid of Daqi, but was full of fighting spirit:
"Sooner or later, we will fight with the Southern Dynasties, why are we afraid?! Since the Yanmen Army has come out this time, we will let them have no chance to go back!
"It's been more than a hundred years, it's time to let the Yanmen Army know that the current Tianyuan army is no longer what it used to be, and we have to make them pay for their blood debts now!"
Meng Chi nodded, he was also full of fighting spirit, he stood up: "Gather the kings of the royal court, I want to issue a military order!"
What he meant by this was undoubtedly that he would be the commander in chief in the next war.
At least the front will be.
Tsarahan did not hesitate and was ordered to go out of the account.
When Meng Chi was about to leave, Xiao Yan, who had been keeping her head down, suddenly stood up, stumbled two steps, grabbed Meng Chi's sleeve, and asked with wide eyes:
"Great Khan...... The Great Khan has not yet reached the realm of heaven and man, and now rashly casting the secret method of the Blood Purple Heavenly Book will inevitably cause great loss...... What price did the Great Khan pay?"
Her eyes were full of pleading and longing, she really wanted to get an answer that was not so bad, she wanted to be sure that even if she was tricked by Zhao Ning, she didn't bring fatal problems to the royal court.
Otherwise, how can she deal with herself in the future?
Meng Chi was silent for a moment.
Halfway through, he said in a low tone: "Originally, within two years, the Great Khan would be able to achieve the realm of heaven and man. And now, within four years, it is difficult to say whether the Great Khan will be able to reach this state. ”
After that, Meng Chi, who was in an extremely bad mood, shook off Xiao Yan's hand and strode out of the tent.
Xiao Yan sat on the ground, her face no longer bloody, and she was in a trance.
Suddenly, a strange duck-like sound came out of her throat, and then the whole person seemed to laugh instead of laughing, as if crying instead of crying, and crawled up like crazy, kept this appearance, and staggered out.
On this day, the princess of the Tianyuan Royal Court, Yanyan Temur, went crazy.
