At this moment, the inner city of Tiandu, in the palace of King Huai.

In an extremely large hall, King Huai and Mr. Gongsun were sitting here, and there was an incense burner next to it, on which wisps of smoke were steaming.

Mr. Gongsun made a pot of tea and handed it to King Huai, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and said: "Lord Wang, I am afraid that the current situation in the world has really become chaotic." ”

King Huai picked up the cup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, and there was a touch of solemnity in his deep pupils.

Now, not to mention the other state capitals, just in Shenzhou, a large number of demons and ghosts have suddenly appeared, and then attacked all sides!

Not only that, but the people of the Demon Sect also appeared, and began to massacre the people, but fortunately, in the previous battle with the Demon Sect, Great Xia had already taken precautions, so although there were losses, it was also within the acceptable range.

And it all goes back seven days.

On that day, the afterglow of Great Xia's victory over Great Yuan was still there, and the people of Tiandu were still immersed in excitement, even the crown prince.

And on this day, several evil-level demons suddenly appeared in Liyang Mansion, and these demons did not come from the release of the Liuhe God Cult, but suddenly descended to Kyushu!

Fortunately, the local government responded in a timely manner, plus there was a large army stationed there, and the people of Jingtiansi also arrived in time and successfully killed these evil-level demons.

Even, not only Shenzhou, but also all the major state capitals in the world, on the same day, a large number of demons and ghosts emerged!

It is precisely because of the appearance of a large number of demons and ghosts that the Liuhe Divine Sect has also reappeared, constantly collecting demons and ghosts to strengthen its own strength.

It can make a great martial arts master of the Innate Realm have a trace of worry on his face, and you can imagine the severity of the situation today.

"Lord Wang, with the current situation, as time passes, will more demons and ghosts descend on Kyushu?" Mr. Gongsun asked with a frown.

With his status as a martial arts master of the Innate Realm, coupled with his identity as a confidant of King Huai, he naturally knew why the demons appeared in Kyushu.

Demons and ghosts, which are in the same water and fire as the human race, or the creatures of Kyushu, do not come from Kyushu itself, but from outside the territory!

It can be said that the demons are the invaders of the Kyushu world, and their appearance, the meaning of their existence, is to destroy the human race, to destroy all the living beings in Kyushu, and even to destroy the entire Kyushu world.

It is precisely because of this that the human race and the demons are on the same footing, and if the demons are not killed, the entire Kyushu will be destroyed one day.

However, even Mr. Gongsun and King Huai only knew that the demons came from outside the territory, but the two of them were not very clear about the specific origin of the demons and why they came to Kyushu.

This point may only be known to Emperor Xia, as well as the Grand Commander of the Jingtian Division, the Mirror Master of the Ming Mirror Division, and the Supervisor of the Qin Heavenly Prison.

Other than that, there are only six holy places.

And the changes that have taken place in these seven days do not stop there.

On Dayuan's side, not long after Zajie Dunzhu went back, he released the news that the human emperor of Great Xia had failed to cross the catastrophe and had disappeared or even fallen.

As soon as this statement came out, Kyushu was immediately in an uproar, some people did not believe it, and some people doubted it.

But no matter what, the matter of Emperor Xia's tribulation was also mentioned again, and everyone's attention was once again focused on this matter.

What Zajie Dunzhu said is still very convincing, what Da Yuan did in Tiandu has already been spread, if Emperor Xia is still there, with Emperor Xia's character, how can Zajie Dunzhu escape, he will be killed by Emperor Xia on the spot, making him splash blood for five steps.

What's more, the most important point is that Emperor Xia has not appeared since the catastrophe, which also makes the world's ambitions suspicious.

After such a long time, they had secretly concluded that even if Emperor Xia did not die, he must have been severely injured and secretly recuperated somewhere.

The difficulty of the realm of heaven and man, the stronger the strength of the martial arts, the clearer it is.

If it were that easy, there wouldn't be tens of thousands of years without a Heavenly and Human Realm martial artist in Kyushu.

This point is also inevitable, everyone who knows the inside story understands that sooner or later this matter will be detected by the people of the world, and it will not be long before it is delayed.

And once this matter is confirmed, the undercurrent of the turbulent world of Kyushu will also fall into chaos!

The disappearance of Emperor Xia is a signal of the chaos in Kyushu!

When there is him, no one dares to be presumptuous, and once there is no such top person who can set the world, Kyushu will definitely fall into chaos.

"Troubled times are coming." Mr. Gongsun sighed.

After Da Yuan released the news of Emperor Xia's disappearance or even fall, all the forces in the Central Plains martial arts were ready to move, and they had some ideas about Great Xia.

After all, martial artists are rebellious by nature, and it is common for blood to be spattered in five steps without saying a word, and it is not uncommon for daily fights in the rivers and lakes to occur.

What's more, Emperor Xia suppressed this group of Jianghu warriors for twenty-three years, and Jingtiansi was equivalent to a sharp sword suspended above their heads, and the Central Plains Jianghu, or the entire Kyushu, had already had enough of this kind of day worrying all day.

In addition, now that the scourge of demons and ghosts is becoming more and more serious, such as the top forces of the seven sects and eight factions, it is very likely that at some point, they will attack Great Xia and want to overthrow the rule of Great Xia.

At this time, as if thinking of something, Mr. Gongsun frowned slightly and said, "Lord Wang, there is something I don't understand, and I hope that Lord Wang will solve his doubts." ”

"Say." King Huai bowed slightly.

Mr. Gongsun said: "This group of Jianghu warriors wants to overthrow Great Xia, but have they ever thought that once Great Xia falls, then who will deal with this demon who is causing trouble in the world?" ”

The "Jianghu Martial Artist" he called in his mouth is naturally the top forces of the Central Plains rivers and lakes of the Seven Sects, Eight Sects and Three Sects.

King Huai put down the cup and said lightly: "Six Holy Lands." ”

When Mr. Gongsun heard this, his eyes immediately froze, and he said, "Will the six holy lands deal with demons and ghosts?" ”

When King Huai heard this, for the first time, a trace of disdain appeared on his face, and he said: "The Six Holy Lands will not make a move, unless one day, the demons and ghosts are about to destroy Kyushu, otherwise, even if more people die in Kyushu, they will still be indifferent." ”

"Then this group of Jianghu warriors still wants to join forces to deal with Great Xia?" Mr. Gongsun was even more puzzled.

King Huai was expressionless and said, "It's just a group of martial artists, how far can you see it?" They felt that there were six holy lands, and with their own strength, even if the number of demons and ghosts increased, they could still keep themselves safe, and a group of frogs at the bottom of the well couldn't see the six holy lands clearly, and they also overestimated themselves, and even underestimated the demons. ”

"They have never known the truth of this world at all, nor have they realized the seriousness of demons!"

Hearing this, Mr. Gongsun nodded slowly, the fact that the demon and ghost came from outside the territory is a top secret, even if it is him, it is because of King Huai that he can know about it.

There may not be too many of the top forces on the rivers and lakes who know this, besides, as King Huai said, this group of martial artists in the rivers and lakes has six holy lands, so they are not worried about what will happen to the demons.

There are always some people who will be lucky, they feel that Great Xia can suppress the demons, then it makes no sense that they can't join forces.

Compared to the demons, they were even more disgusted with Great Xia, the existence that pressed on top of their heads.

No one likes to be suppressed, let alone a rebellious warrior.

In all dynasties, the rivers and lakes and the imperial court have always been distinct, and the well water on both sides does not interfere with the river water, and the imperial court cannot suppress the forces of the rivers and lakes.

Only in the generation of Emperor Xia, this emperor of the ages suppressed everything with supreme strength.

Now that Emperor Xia is gone, the warriors of the Kyushu rivers and lakes think that this is their best time.

Of course, they don't know what the specific strength of Great Xia is now, and how much Jingtiansi still has strength, so in a short period of time, they won't do it yet.

It's just that Jing Tiansi wants to restrain them as before, but it is not so easy.

Therefore, the current situation is that Great Xia has fallen into a multi-party attack and has become a public enemy of Kyushu.

At this time, I only heard King Huai say again: "Two days ago, there was news from Yanzhou, the barbarians were about to move on the border, and the Marquis of Pingxi wanted to increase his troops and ask the court and the prince for military salaries. ”

Mr. Gongsun asked curiously, "How many troops does Pingxihou want to increase?" ”

"Two hundred thousand troops." King Huai said lightly.

"Two hundred thousand?!"

When Mr. Gongsun heard this, he was immediately surprised, now, on the border of Yanzhou, there are as many as 600,000 troops under the command of Pingxi Hou, and it is the most elite army in Great Xia, and the annual military salary is an astronomical amount.

Now, if Pingxi Hou wants to increase his army by 200,000, the number of troops under his command will reach as much as 800,000, 800,000 people, even if he doesn't do anything every day, just eating is a huge expense!

What's more, there is more than this army under the command of Great Xia, if the news of Pingxi Hou's increase in troops spreads, other places will definitely put forward the same request, if it is a comprehensive increase in troops, there is no need to do anything else, just that sum of military salaries can empty Great Xia!

"Pingxi Hou once said in a letter that the barbarians suspected of finding something in the depths of the 100,000 mountains, which led to a great increase in the strength of the whole clan, and now that they have heard the news of the disappearance of the imperial brother, they are already a little ready to move at the border, so they will ask for reinforcements from Tiandu and ask for more troops." King Huai said.

"But 200,000, isn't it too much, Your Highness agreed?" Mr. Gongsun asked.

King Huai shook his head and said, "How is it possible?" This kind of precedent can't be opened, once it is opened, everyone else will also open their mouths, not to mention, Pingxi Hou has been sitting on the border of Yanzhou for so many years, and the business there is an iron bucket, except for him, even if I go, I don't have the right to speak, my nephew is not stupid, and he faintly saw something. ”

When Mr. Gongsun heard this, his pupils shrank, looked at King Huai, and said, "Lord Wang, you mean that Pingxi Hou ...... him."

King Huai's expression was calm, his tone was indifferent, and he said: "It's still too early to say this, the imperial brother has disappeared, and many people have some other thoughts, which I understand, but if you have a heart, if you dare to stretch out your claws and do something harmful to Great Xia, then the nature will change." ”

Although King Huai said this sentence lightly, Mr. Gongsun, who was familiar with King Huai's character, still subconsciously felt a chill.

Although this Great Xia prince does not know martial arts and is an ordinary person who is weak and sickly, for some reason, Mr. Gongsun can often feel an extremely heavy power in the body of King Huai, maybe this is a person who has been in a high position for a long time, and his life is extraordinary.

If the case of Pingxi Hou disobeying the orders of foreign monarchs, throughout the Kyushu dynasties, it is actually not uncommon.

The specifics depend on Ping Xihou's own personal choice.

But at least for a short time, Pingxi Hou is still not going to be good.

"On your side, what's the news coming from recently?" King Huai looked at Mr. Gongsun.

When Mr. Gongsun heard this, a solemnity appeared on his face, he took a deep breath, and said, "Lord Wang, I have a big event to report!" ”

Seeing this, King Huai frowned slightly and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Mr. Gongsun said in a deep voice: "I have heard that Dugu Yun, the leader of the Liuhe God Sect three hundred years ago, did not die, and now he is sitting in the Liuhe God Sect!" ”
