Chapter 26: The Nine Sons Compete for the Throne (1)
In the early morning of the Demon King Palace, the Wenchen military generals were on both sides, the nine sons of the Demon King, the heads of the six major families and some old men of the Demon Clan were also invited to attend, such a big scene was the first time in the Demon Clan for thousands of years, but looking at everyone's faces, they seemed to know what would happen at today's Demon Clan meeting, and the eyebrows signaled to each other, tacitly.
In the waiting of everyone, the demon king in the two daughters of Duxue and Yan Meng'er with the support of the staggered into the demon king hall, this is since the martial arts conference, the first time the demon king appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the rumored same, at this moment the demon king looked haggard, his face was white, his eyes were deep, a pair of blood-red eyes also became a lot darker, there was no majesty of the past, everyone was taken aback when they saw the appearance of the demon king, although they knew the news that the demon king was seriously ill, but they were far from expecting that the demon king who was strong before would be sick like this, thin as dry firewood, shaped like withered, seeing the appearance of the demon king, everyone's face had a different expression, Some are worried, some are nervous, and some are secretly relieved, especially the faces of Aotian and Aoguang and the six major families, after flashing a trace of joy, they hurriedly covered up with anxiety.
Behind the demon king, there were the four elders and the god king Changping and the human princess Changle, the two princesses supported the demon king to sit on the throne, and then sat on one side with the god king Changping and Changle, and the four elders sat on the other side, His Royal Highness everyone just wanted to get up and bow, but was stopped by the demon king: "There is no need to be polite today, everyone sit down, I have something important to announce." After saying that, the demon king leaned on the throne again, panting.
His Royal Highness and everyone sat down, the demon king looked at the great elder flying fox beside him, and the flying fox immediately understood, pulled out a scroll from his sleeve, and walked in front of everyone, he raised the scroll above his head: "Everyone listen, this is the edict of the king of the demon clan, today everyone is called over, and the god king is specially invited to be present, just to witness this moment together." After speaking, under the gaze of everyone, the flying fox slowly unfolded the edict and read it out: "Since the war of the three clans, I worship the demon king, unite the human race, drive the beast clan, open up the territory and expand the territory, and lead the clan for more than 1,500 years. ”
After listening to the edict, everyone talked about it, Qinglong was even more surprised, a few days ago his father refused to meet, but now it is passed on to himself, which is really unexpected, just when he was still wondering if he heard it wrong, Feihu has already walked in front of Qinglong with the edict.
And the other princes around Qinglong were surprisingly calm, just staring at Qinglong in a daze.
"Qinglong Prince, Qinglong Prince, don't you take the edict soon!" Feihu shouted to Qinglong in a daze, which interrupted Qinglong's thoughts, Qinglong hurriedly took the edict with both hands, touched the edict in his hand, and looked at everyone's eyes, Qinglong believed that this was all true, and he was really formulated by his father as the next demon king of the demon clan. The doubts and apprehensions in his heart suddenly disappeared at the moment when he held the edict in his hand, and all that was left was joy and gratitude, but soon, he felt a strange gaze around him, he looked up at the demon king, and saw a pair of dark red eyes staring at him on the haggard face of the demon king, and there was affirmation in this look.
Suddenly, Aotian on the side stood up from his seat, bowed to the demon king, and said: "The order of the demon king, I don't obey it" As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shaken, and many people followed suit, opposing the edict of the demon king, Aotian continued: "Regardless of the family, the ninth brother Qinglong has always lived deeply, although he won the competition, he never really led the troops into battle, let alone worked for the demon clan, so how can I wait for the people who have been on the battlefield for a long time and made meritorious contributions to the clan to be convinced, and please think twice about the demon king." ”
Indeed, Qinglong did not have his own team at all before the competition, and he was unable to lead troops in the demon army, which was a hard wound for Qinglong among the martial demon clan, and it was also the reason for everyone's opposition.
Seeing that Aotian Zhenzhen had words, and everyone present also echoed it, Qinglong's face suddenly became cloudy, and he felt angry in his heart, and his mind remembered the lesson of the master last night, is this what the master said about the weak and the strong? If you don't fight or grab, you won't get anything in the end, he held the edict in his hand tightly.
Seeing that everyone was opposing and discussing, the demon king shouted with all his might: "Give me peace, you ...... You guys...... Is this to disobey orders? You ......" Before Baizu's words were finished, he suddenly felt tightness in his chest and couldn't breathe, so he could only look at everyone angrily, pointing at Aotian with his finger, his blood-colored eyes were full of anger, and Dusk Xue and Yan Meng'er on the side saw that their father was angry and panting, so they hurriedly stepped forward to appease.
When everyone saw that the demon king was angry, they didn't dare to talk anymore, and at this moment, the four elders on the side, the black ape, stood up.
"Tell the God King, according to the report of the spies, a Terran army of about 30,000 people suddenly appeared in the south of Hengshui, and they have set up camp on the border, which seems to have the meaning of driving straight in. There was another round of talking......
The demon king looked at the black ape: "What's the matter? Don't they want to live anymore?
"In Yichen's opinion, it must be the Terrans who got the news that the demon clan is seriously ill, so they sent this army to investigate. The black ape looked at the expression of the demon king, and the demon king at this moment was thoughtful. "Demon King, now is an opportunity!" the black ape added.
"Opportunity, what do you mean, hurry up and say it directly" The demon king was a little impatient, urging the black ape to speak quickly.
"Now the Terran army, not self-sufficient to enter my demon territory, just send Qinglong to lead the people to the expedition, Qinglong's performance in the competition field is obvious to all, this battle will be a success, and when Qinglong returns triumphantly, I think everyone will no longer oppose the Qinglong prince to succeed to the throne of the demon king. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was in a commotion again, and the demon king stared straight at the black ape, thinking for a long time, the demon king fell on Qinglong's body: "Qinglong, now that the human race is attacking, can you lead the troops to exterminate it, raise the prestige of my demon clan, and make meritorious contributions?!"
Qinglong's face was firm, and he bowed and said: "I will take the lead and destroy the enemy in one fell swoop, please rest assured!"
Looking at Qinglong's determined expression, the demon king's face showed a look of joy: "Hahaha, my hero, the day of your triumph is the day when my demon clan establishes a new lord!
Aoguang still wanted to argue about something, but was pulled by Aotian, "Father, we have no objection" Seeing Aotian take the lead, Aoguang didn't say anything, so he could only bow down with an angry face. And the other princes also bowed and said, "The retainers have no objections." The patriarchs of the six major families and other princes and nobles also said "no objection" stupidly.
"Okay, since you have no objections, it just so happens that there are god kings and human princesses here to testify, just wait for my son Qinglong to triumph" The spirit of the demon king suddenly improved a lot, he stood up tremblingly, pushed away the support of Duxue and Yan Meng'er, walked down the stairs slowly, and walked in front of Qinglong, Qinglong hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Qinglong, you will go to the council hall with me, and tell me about your strategic strategy" The demon king smiled with a smile on his face, took Qinglong's hand, and walked out of the demon king's palace.
Everyone looked at the two of them supporting each other, and felt the demon king's insistence on Qinglong's succession, while the other sons did look jealous one by one.
A dispute seems to have been resolved, but everyone present knows that the real fight has just begun.
