Chapter 15 Countermeasures
When King Conde came to the door of the council hall, Grand Duke Qiyang, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, stepped forward a few steps forward and greeted him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My beloved majesty, several old ministers are waiting for your presence in the council hall!" Grand Duke Qiyang's voice was calm, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing that Grand Duke Qiyang was so calm, King Kangde's heart couldn't help but settle down a little, and he nodded and said, "I've kept you waiting, let's go in and talk!"
Saying that, King Kangde stepped into the chamber first, and there were already seven people waiting in the hall at this time, including Marshal Feng Hongyi, who was in charge of the country's military affairs, Zhong Wenyu, the Minister of Finance, who was in charge of the country's money and grain, and Xue Zishi, the youngest son of Xue Fangu, the newly promoted powerhouse of the Holy Domain, and others, plus the Prime Minister Grand Duke Qiyang, could be said to represent all aspects of the entire country.
King Kant sat on the throne, and his eyes quickly glanced at the faces of the ministers, and then they sat down, and said: "This time the matter of Kunshan County, I think all Aiqing already know, if there is any good plan, you might as well speak up." ”
Prime Minister Qiyang's deep voice was the first to sound: "According to the urgent report of Kunshan County, three of the seven cities in Kunshan County have been destroyed, and the people have suffered heavy casualties, and the rough estimate is that the number has exceeded 100,000, and the city lords of Fengcheng and Guyi City and nearly ten heaven-level powerhouses have all been killed in battle, and even Wei Zhenghao, the county guard of Kunshan County, was seriously injured, and now his life and death are unknown, but the old minister believes that these are not the point, the focus is on the deceased's corpse as mentioned in the emergency report......
Speaking of this, Grand Duke Qiyang's face suddenly became solemn: "If it was only a small area of corpse transformation, I might think that this matter was done by a powerful necromancer, but now, not only all the dead who suffered from the catastrophe in Kunshan County this time have undergone corpse transformation, but even countless corpse transformation demonic beasts have gushed out of the Ten Thousand Burial Forest. Large-scale corpse transformation, this is definitely not something that a necromancer can do, even if he has the strength of the Holy Domain, it is impossible to do it, so the old man has a doubt in his heart, is this incident related to the demon clan recorded in the history books?"
"I don't think it should be the work of the demon clan!" Marshal Feng Hongyi pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "You may not have noticed one thing, the emergency report did not mention in detail the thing that started it, only described it as a black mist, and all the casualties in this Kunshan County catastrophe were also caused by those corpse things, so if it was really done by the demon clan, it would never be so hidden, and the action would not be so slow, and we will not only lose three cities now!"
"Therefore, the old man thinks that this is likely to be the work of a newborn evil thing, although it has a strong corpse transformation ability, but it has been hiding its head and tail, so the individual strength is definitely not too strong, so Your Majesty should invite Xue Fangu and Gong Haocang two sages out, and let them go to Kunshan County to kill this evil thing, which can resolve this crisis. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xue Zishi and another purple-shirted girl, and King Kang and other important ministers also subconsciously looked at the two of them.
Seeing this, Xue Zishi showed a trace of helplessness on his face, sighed and said, "My father has been in retreat recently, I'm afraid I can't help this matter!"
Hearing this, everyone's faces showed a trace of disappointment, but soon their eyes turned to the purple-clothed girl beside Xue Zishi.
This purple-clothed girl is named Gong Ziyan, is the only daughter of Gong Hao Cang, and is extremely fond of her, in order to get closer to Gong Haocang, King Kang De recognized her as her goddaughter as soon as Gong Ziyan was born, and named her Princess Zifeng.
There is a father who is spoiled by a strong man in the Holy Domain, and there is the protection of King Kangde, Gong Ziyan can be said to have brought the princess's illness into full play, and the city is full of storms in Nirvana City, and even the descendants of King Kangde have to retreat when they see her, but if you want to say who she hates the most, it is none other than Xue Fangu's family, there is no special reason, just because Xue Fangu became a strong man in the Sacred Domain two years ago, and became the double saint of the Wuchang Empire alongside his father.
Gong Ziyan glanced at Xue Zishi lightly, and said with a cold smile: "Just one evil thing, you don't need two sages to do it, my father has been in the holy realm for a long time, and his strength has long been far beyond that of ordinary sages, one person is enough to understand this matter, and ......"
Speaking of this, the purple-shirted girl paused deliberately, looked at Xue Zishi with a provocative expression, and said contemptuously: "And Uncle Xue has only entered the Holy Domain for a short time, I'm afraid that the foundation is not yet solid, so it's better to retreat and cultivate more, so as not to have any accidents, and then the entire empire will have to rely on my father alone!"
As soon as her words fell, she heard a loud bang, and Xue Zishi slapped his palm heavily on the armrest of the wide frost glass dust wooden chair beside him, his eyes flashed with an uncontrollable anger, and he pointed at Gong Ziyan and shouted, "Gong Ziyan, what do you mean by this?"
"What do you mean, don't you understand?" Gong Ziyan smiled coldly, and looked at Xue Zishi's fiery eyes without showing weakness.
Seeing that the two of them were tense and the battle seemed to be about to break out, King Kang quickly coughed, started the round and said: "Both of them are the descendants of the sages of our Wuchang Empire, everything is precious to peace, don't hurt the harmony!" The other ministers also stood up one after another to persuade them.
After a while, Gong Ziyan and Xue Zishi were persuaded to return to their original positions, and then King Kang asked again: "Ziyan, this time the stakes are very high, are you sure that your father will go to Kunshan County?"
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this, a few days ago my father was still saying that he had encountered a bottleneck and needed a big battle with an enemy of equal strength, and this time it happened to be an opportunity, so my father would definitely go!" Gong Ziyan nodded confidently and said.
"That's good! If you need anything, just open your mouth to me!" King Kant nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to the others: "If the palace sage is willing to go, I think this matter will be able to understand quickly, but Kunshan County has suffered this catastrophe, I am afraid that there are many displaced people, and the follow-up problems need to be dealt with quickly!"
Grand Duke Qiyang nodded and said, "Your Majesty should immediately issue an order to let Woyuan County and Chenyang County accept and comfort the victims, and immediately prepare relief materials and send them to the two counties day and night." ”
"Not only that, but I think it is also necessary to send another heavy army south to assist in the defense of Chijiabao to prevent the Heavenly Saint Empire from taking the opportunity to move north!" Marshal Feng Hongyi thought for a moment and said.
"Well, you will be responsible for handling this matter, and you must not let the Heavenly Saint Empire take advantage of it!" King Concord nodded: "Do you have any suggestions for other Aiqing......
"Your Majesty, there will be a great epidemic after the catastrophe, and this epidemic cannot be left unguarded, so we need to prepare as soon as possible......
For a time, several ministers in the chamber expressed their opinions and offered good ideas, and it was not until dawn that the meeting in the chamber ended.
