Chapter 442: The Wind and Clouds Suddenly Change
"Come hard, how can you come?" the Chief Great Demon Immortal hesitated.
"Directly capture the Demon Lord in the territory of the Long Kingdom, cast a spell to wash away the memory and re-practice the Heavenly Demon Heart Method, and become a real Demon Lord step by step. A great demon fairy said.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it, otherwise what should we do, we can't watch our Demon Lord become the Immortal Lord of the Martial Spirit Palace, right?" said another Great Demon Immortal.
"Okay, then come hard. The Chief Great Demon Immortal nodded.
The Nine Demon Immortals had already decided on the discussion, and they began to arrange in full swing, while closing the door and sharpening their knives to prepare for war, while urgently contacting the good immortals, a new round of immortal war was about to break out.
Ruiguo, who was celebrating the New Year happily, couldn't feel the tension in the heavenly realm, and everything was still according to the rhythm of the New Year to visit relatives and friends. Since the Lantern Festival was scheduled to go to the capital for the Lantern Festival, and then go to other relatives, Mo Cong simply stayed on the shore of Heilong Lake in the middle of the year to accompany the old man and the woman in white to celebrate the New Year.
A few days of the New Year were spent peacefully and happily, and a few days later, the old man went out to wander around, and the woman in white went back to Lingyun Mountain, and asked Mo Cong to return to Lingyun Mountain to practice as soon as possible before leaving, Mo Cong didn't have the words to agree, saying that he would go back in a month at most.
Seeing off the old man and the woman in white, Mo Cong took Mo Min, Moyu, Chen Ruoping, Murong Mingyue, Hang Rui and Xiaoyue and other maids to the capital together. Everyone rode horses, rode horses, rode cars, and rode all the way to the capital unhurriedly, and when they arrived in the capital, Mo Min and others discussed, they didn't want to go to the palace or the princess's mansion, they could live directly in the backyard of the Shangpinxiang Restaurant, Mo Cong also knew that Mo Min, Chen Ruoping, Murong Mingyue and the Ruiguo court had their own festivals, and the place in the princess's mansion was Longtan Tiger's Den, and everyone who had a big festival didn't want to have a sideshow, so they agreed to this arrangement.
Although it has not yet reached the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the capital is already very lively, all kinds of lanterns have been hung all over the streets, and everywhere is filled with a festive atmosphere. Mo Cong drove a carriage and took Hang Rui to Lei Mansion to see Lei Leopard. The three of them talked and talked about the old days, and then Lei Bao followed Mo Cong Hangrui out to prepare to go to the palace.
"What are you...... Do you bring so many specialties into the palace?" asked Lei Leopard, looking at a carriage of things.
"yes, it's all good stuff, you should keep some too. Mo Cong said.
Lei Bao was not polite, and immediately took some for the people in the house to put away, and then rode on the horse and followed the carriage all the way.
"This cart is not an ordinary specialty, but something to pay tribute to the imperial court, you are lucky, you got it before the imperial court. Mo Cong said while driving the carriage.
"If you don't say it earlier, I won't take it if you say it sooner. But you're shabby enough to send these things to the court all year round?"
"Isn't it good that I have this heart?" said Mo Cong with a smile.
"That's right. Lei Bao said.
The two of them talked and arrived at the palace, and Hang Xiao couldn't cry or laugh when he saw that Mo Cong really sent the specialties, but it was better to think about it than nothing, so he ordered people to be busy carrying those specialties and giving the queen and the ladies everywhere a little taste. Hang Xiao's three palaces, six courtyards, seventy-two concubines, Hang Xiao, who is not even a concubine, doesn't know how many there are, and a cart of things is really not enough. However, Mo Cong has this intention, and Hang Xiao also feels that it is better than nothing, although these things are few, they are always a symbol, symbolizing that Montenegro is still the Montenegro of the imperial court, and when he thinks of these, Hang Xiao doesn't care much.
"This is a million taels of silver tickets. All the military and civilians in Montenegro have made up food and clothing, and I ask Your Majesty not to be too little. Mo Cong then took out a stack of silver tickets and handed them to Hang Xiao.
"Hah, that's pretty much it. Hang Xiaoting unexpectedly took the silver ticket, Montenegro is a very poor province. In the past, the most silver handed over was only seven or eight hundred thousand taels, but Mo Cong took out one million taels this time, and Hang Xiao felt a little surprised this time.
"There's another thing I forgot to mention last time I was in a hurry. I went to Longguo during the Chinese New Year, and Longguo is really trying to govern with strong intentions, and Your Majesty should also use good steel on the blade of the knife and spend the silver where it should be spent. Mo Cong said.
"You went to Longguo and saw Murong Kuo?" Hang Xiao was surprised, Lei Bao was also surprised on the side, Mo Cong went to Longguo and they didn't hear the wind at all, and more importantly, it was really surprising that he came back so soon.
"Yes, I went to Longguo with Princess Longguo, and I also saw Murong Kuo in Longguo. Murong Kuo is indeed ambitious, at first glance, he is a far-sighted person, and I also said that he can let go of his hatred of killing his son, what a generation of heroes. Mo Cong said.
"Why should he put it down, there must be a reason, right?" Hang Xiao asked.
"The reason is what everyone is rumoring about...... He's looking forward to me opening the Djinn Gate for the Kingdom of Long. Mo Cong said.
"You ......" Hang Xiao was speechless, he had never seen a courtier talk to the emperor like this.
"In fact, this was said by Murong Lie, Murong Kuo was not so straightforward, but Murong Kuo had his own way of expression, as soon as I went, he pulled me to see the beautiful grassland, and expressed to me the hope that the country of Sweden could be unified, and also said that the corrupt officials of the country of Sweden were corrupt, and the country was like a sunset and the west mountains were dying, but the country of Longguo was a unified grassland, and it was clear who was strong and who was weak in the country, and the annexation of the country was also the trend of the times. Mo Cong said.
"That'...... What do you say. Hang Xiao asked and had a very strange feeling in his heart, as if he was directly talking to Murong Kuo.
"I said that the country of Long is indeed strong, but His Majesty of our country of Rui is also working hard to be strong, and the country of Rui is also smooth and peaceful, and there is no appearance of the twilight years that he said. Mo Cong said.
"It's pretty much the same, it's really unreasonable, why is our Darui Kingdom dying in its twilight years, I'm very optimistic. Hang Xiao snorted angrily, as if he was competing with Murong Kuo.
"But then again, His Majesty the corrupt officials of the Rui Kingdom should still be governed, otherwise sooner or later the national strength will be empty and the people will be miserable, and it will be really difficult to say when the people's hearts are scattered. Not to mention anything else, how did so many old central army departments in Montenegro come about, when it comes to the roots, they are still forced out by corrupt officials, if Your Majesty does not curb corrupt officials, sooner or later there will be a second Montenegro and a third Montenegro. Mo Cong said.
"I know that you are still obsessed with Zhao Rong, but he has indeed completely restrained now, and I don't know if someone else is not as good as him, so I can only use it first. Hang Xiao explained.
"I really can't get angry with him, anyway, people are watching the sky. Mo Cong said.
A few people chatted for a while, and the palace set up a sumptuous dinner, and Empress Hangxiao Mo Cong Hangrui and several older brothers and sisters of Prince Hangjie Hangrui dined together. After dinner in the evening, Hang Rui stayed in the palace to rest, Mo Cong and Lei Bao went out of the palace together, Lei Mansion and Shangpinxiang Restaurant were not far away, and the two happened to be on the way.
"I feel that when you came over this time, your momentum is stronger than before, I don't know how many times. Lei Leopard, who was riding a horse, said to Mo Cong who was driving the car as he walked.
"Yes, maybe the feudal officials are used to it. Mo Cong said with a smile.
"There are so many feudal officials, and I haven't seen anyone talk to the emperor like you. Lei Bao said.
"My status is spelled out, they are sealed, how can it be the same?" Mo Cong said.
The two talked to the street in front of the Lei Mansion, Lei Leopard said that the two brothers hadn't had a good chat for a long time, so it was better to stay in the Lei Mansion at night, Mo Cong thought about it, so he released a Yuan Shen and told Mo Min that he wanted to live in the Lei Mansion, and then followed Lei Leopard into the Lei Mansion.
"Brother Lei should also marry a daughter-in-law, I have married a daughter-in-law twice in this part of the mansion, and you must continue to carry it forward. "Hand over the carriage to the little guy in Lei Mansion, Mo Cong said as he walked in with Lei Leopard.
"What does it mean to marry a daughter-in-law, there is someone who will take care of it when I marry back, once I go to the battlefield, it will cause people to worry and be afraid, I don't plan to marry. Lei Leopard shook his head and said.
The two walked through the main courtyard into the main house of Lei Mansion, and soon a girl came over to pour tea and send a fruit plate, Mo Cong said don't fix these useless things, just order some wine and some food, Lei Bao asked his subordinates to hurry up and prepare, the two ate and drank and chatted all night, chatting about the military affairs and various things of Ruiguo.
In the next few days, Mo Cong and Mo Minmoyu, Chen Ruoping, Murong Mingyue, Hang Rui and others watched the liveliness of the Lantern Festival in the capital together, and felt very nostalgic for the various dragon and lion dances and lanterns in the capital, and the two palace maids of Longguo who came with Murong Mingyue felt colorful and lively and festive, they had never had the Lantern Festival in Rui before, everything was very strange for them. In this way, he stayed in the capital until the seventeenth day of the first month, and Mo Cong said goodbye to Hang Xiaolei Leopard and went to the southeast with everyone.
A group of people rode horses and drove out of the capital from the south gate towards Miro Province, just after the Dujiang was walking forward, the sky suddenly rolled black clouds covered the sky, and the original blue sky was spread in an instant. A strong wind filled the heavens and the earth, blowing so that people could not open their eyes. (To be continued......)
