Chapter 1062: Exchange of Interests
On the twenty-ninth day of the fifth month of the imperial calendar, thousands of miles east of the Shattered Ding Realm, the three major empires stood on a huge territory, and the pattern of the Tianji Empire, the Tianjue Empire, and the Blackstone Empire was slowly collapsing, and the people in Qianshan City, the central city of the Blackstone Empire, were panicking, and in these days, dragon knights continued to descend into the city, bringing bad news.
On the splendid and glazed palace hall, Emperor Shi Yuan frowned, His Royal Highness's ministers were also pale, and the voice of the royal forest guard came from outside the door: "The dragoon will meet Master Fu Yun!"
"See you!" Shi Yuan said in a low voice.
In the sound of heavy footsteps, Fu Yun walked into the hall in a military uniform, and even had some blood stains on his body, his face was very solemn, and he knelt on one knee: "The last general Fu Yun will see Your Majesty!"
"Get up, Fu Yun, you're finally back, what kind of news did you bring?" Shi Yuan said with squinted eyes.
Fu Yun said in a deep voice: "The last general inquired and learned that Feng Jixing has trained sailors on the Daojiang River, and the Great Qin Empire has cast at least hundreds of building ships, boats, ships, etc., and the entire Cangnan Province is full of traces of the water army on the Daojiang River, I think Feng Jixing's heart is already very obvious, and it will not be long before they will definitely march eastward with the strength of the country." β
"Hmph, eastward?!"
Shi Yuan had a chill in his eyes and said, "My Blackstone Empire will never sit still, it's a dream that the Shattered Ding Realm wants to destroy my Blackstone Empire!"
At this moment, the young man sitting in the golden chair next to Shi Yuan stood up, smiled in an extremely nice voice, and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry about it, I think that Feng Jixing's training of sailors does not mean that they want to go east, after all, the Broken Ding Realm has been fighting for many years, and they have already exhausted their savings, and Feng Jixing's training is just for self-preservation." β
It was none other than the Long Xi of the Lei Yan Sect, who had the Immortal Casting of the Ice and Fire Twin Line, and the peerless powerhouse of the Ninety-Two Cave Heavens, and the Long Xi was gifted and intelligent, he stepped into the Divine Realm early, retaining the appearance of twenty-six or seven years old, and looked very young, but who would have thought that such a young boy would have thousands of troops under his command, and more than 50,000 cultivators in the entire Lei Yan Sect would obey his orders?
Shi Yuan nodded: "What Sect Master Long said is extremely true, but ...... The Empire's westward march is imminent, and we have to fight. β
Long Xi smiled faintly: "It seems that Your Majesty's will has been decided." β
"Yes. β
Shi Yuan smiled calmly and explained: "First, the northern border of the empire is no longer safe. Liu Buyi's Bai Ze mercenaries already have hundreds of thousands of male soldiers, plus the help of the demon spirit clan who do not return to the forest, several counties in our north have been lost one after another, and the empire is powerless to entangle with Sikong Yao in the north, second, the little emperor of the Heavenly Absolute Empire, Chen Yu, was defeated in a battle in Dongning City, losing millions of men and horses, and now he is working hard to govern and reorganize hundreds of thousands of horses, constantly attacking the eastern cities of my Blackstone Empire, the fortresses we have spent hundreds of years building are being lost one by one, and they are unable to resist the Heavenly Absolute Empire, so what else can we do except the westward expeditionοΌβ
Long Xi smiled slightly, lowered his head and looked sideways at the person on the other side of Shi Yuan, and said, "Your Majesty said, the current Blackstone Empire has a right arm, why not ask the right arm in such a predicament?"
On that side, there was a middle-aged man with a restrained divine light, wearing armor and a piece of wolf skin on the armor on his shoulder, looking extremely capable.
He was none other than He Song, the valley master of the Wolf Valley, the patriarch of the two hidden tribes of the Heavenly Pole Continent. He Song cultivated the law of the wind system, and had already advanced to the Great Perfection God Emperor realm, and the clan under his command even had an army of 100,000, but there was no quarrel with the world, otherwise it would be enough to set off a monstrous wave on the Tianji Continent.
Long Xi said with a smile: "He Songgu has 100,000 heavenly soldiers under the throne, why are you afraid of him Chen Yu and Sikong Yao? Your Majesty must know...... Among the ten masters of the Saint Martial God level in the Wolf Valley, there are dozens of Saint Martial Kings and hundreds of Saint Martial Saints, as long as He Song Gu Lord decides to send troops, I am sure that Chen Yu will definitely stop fighting, and Sikong Yao will also weigh one or two carefully. β
But He Song didn't speak, Shi Yuan couldn't help but turn around, and asked in a soft voice, "Gu Master, what do you think ......?"
He Song stroked his short beard and chuckled: "The Dragon Sect Master really doesn't dare to praise the Wolf Valley so much, but...... I don't approve of the strategy of sending troops to shatter the Ding Realm, the land of the Blackstone Empire is a treasure handed down from the ancestors, how can it be handed over to others? Your Majesty, if it is to defend the Blackstone Empire, Wolf Valley is willing to send troops, otherwise...... The children of the Wolf Valley really don't want to stain the yellow sand with blood in other countries. β
Shi Yuan couldn't help frowning, and said, "It seems that both of you don't approve of the expedition......"
"Yes. He Song said: "If the Blackstone Empire gives in and withdraws from the Tianji Continent, it will only make the Tianji Empire and the Tianjue Empire stronger and stronger, even if Your Majesty takes the Broken Ding Realm, but the Blackstone Empire is also a big loss of vitality, at that time, the Tianji Empire and the Tianjie Empire will join forces to march west, what will we rely on to keep the Broken Ding Realm that has just arrived?"
Shi Yuan groaned: "What the valley master said is extremely true. β
He Song smiled: "If it is just to protect the Heavenly Empire, Wolf Valley is willing to send troops, but ...... Since Wolf Valley has decided to be loyal to His Majesty, he also hopes that His Majesty can give his subordinates some promises. β
"Oh, what promise?"
"Canonizing a city to the Wolf Valley so that its subordinates can have a place to live, this city must be large, populous, and rich enough. β
Shi Yuan's eyes flickered and he didn't speak.
Long Xi on the side said with a smile: "With a reward of one city, you can get 100,000 soldiers, why don't Your Majesty do it? Hongyan City in Hongyan Province can be used as a reward, Hongyan City is strong and rich, with a population of more than one million, plus dozens of surrounding counties, there are enough people with a total population of thousands of people, I think it should be enough for the Wolf Valley to garrison troops." β
Shi Yuan looked at He Song with awe-inspiring eyes and said, "Then...... I will now canonize the valley lord as the consul of Hongyan Province, and the consul general will handle all important military and political affairs in the province, and I will send three generals to assist the valley lord in fighting against the Heavenly Absolute Empire and recovering the lost territory. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Ronne!"
He Song took a few steps back and knelt on one knee, his face full of joy.
"Someone, Seal. β
Shi Yuan personally handed over the seal ribbon axe to He Song and said, "Hongyan City is in danger, and I hope that the valley lord will send troops to reinforcements earlier." β
"Yes, my subordinates will go back to the Wolf Valley and give the order to go out. β
As soon as the words fell, He Song had already disappeared into a shattered void above the main hall, leaving only a strong wind that could not be swirled.
Shi Yuan glanced at the ministers and said, "Let's disperse...... Sect Master Long, please come with me to the apse. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
......
In the apse, two palace maids lit an incense burner and waited respectfully aside.
Shi Yuan sat helplessly in front of the table full of concerts, and said, "Sect Master Long, what do you think of He Song?"
It is said that he is the right-hand man, but the person who Shi Yuan really values is only Long Xi, after all, Long Xi is the strongest person in the Blackstone Empire, and He Song is just the patriarch of the two hidden tribes in the outer regions, and they are just using each other.
Long Xi smiled faintly: "He Song has something to ask for the empire, and His Majesty also needs He Song's troops to resist Chen Yu of the Heavenly Empire, so ...... The minister thought that His Majesty's canonization of Hongyan Province to He Song was a risky move and a clever move. β
"Is it?" Shi Yuan said dejectedly: "I feel like I am ceding the territory of my ancestors, thinking that a person like He Song with heavy troops wags his tail and begs for mercy, as the respect of a country, it is really a shame!"
"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, since ancient times, heroes have sought a chance to win between survival and death, Your Majesty is the same, all we need is He Song's 100,000 elite soldiers in the Wolf Valley to help us defeat Chen Yu, once Chen Yu is defeated, the strength of the Wolf Valley will also be greatly damaged, and at that time, it will be easy for us to take back He Song's military power and power. β
"Does Sect Master Long know why He Song has to be in Hongyan City?" Shi Yuan asked.
Long Xi was stunned and didn't speak.
"The sect master doesn't want to say?"
Long Xi shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to, but I don't want to say it." β
"Why?"
Long Xi smiled: "It seems that Your Majesty really doesn't know anything about the Wolf Valley, the people in the Wolf Valley are known as wolves, and the exercises they practice are called 'Blood Wolf Formula', which is domineering and abnormal, and the only way to awaken the Blood Wolf Recipe is the Blood Sacrifice!"
"Blood sacrifice?" Shi Yuan was slightly stunned.
"Yes, the blood sacrifice, with the blood of the living as a guide, to obtain a powerful bloodline awakening power, there are nearly 50,000 cultivators in the Wolf Valley who have awakened the blood wolf trick, and they have devoured the lives of 50,000 innocent people, which is also the reason why people have been missing on the border of the Blackstone Empire for so many years, isn't it just to avoid conflicts with the Wolf Valley when His Majesty ordered not to investigate?"
Shi Yuan sighed: "It turns out ...... Did He Song want Hongyan City just to covet the flesh and blood of the imperial people in Hongyan City?"
"Yes, the purer the blood of the person used for the blood sacrifice, the stronger the power of the blood sacrifice will be, and it is better to have boys and girls, so He Songcai wants Hongyan City. β
"Didn't I give the lives of my people to a group of demons......
Shi Yuan slammed his fist on the table, and suddenly the chapter shattered, the table was divided into two, the green tendons on his face burst out, beads of sweat oozed out, and he trembled all over his body and said: "From now on, I will be scolded by the people of the world, and I will be stinking for ten thousand years...... I ......"
"Your Majesty!"
Long Xi's voice aggravated, and said: "Those who have achieved great things are not informal, please don't hesitate Your Majesty, once the predicament of the Black Stone Empire is solved, the minister will definitely do his best to destroy He Song and others for Your Majesty!"
"So...... It's all up to the suzerain......"
Shi Yuan bowed his head and stopped talking.
......
Above the sky, far to the north, the goose feather snow floated on the pure land of the sky, here the four seasons are cold winter, but the spiritual power is rich, the vitality is also extremely vigorous, under the heavy snow cover, a lush jungle is all over the earth, and even in the northern heavenly realm, even if it is snowy, the flowers here are often undefeated.
"Rustling ......"
In the sound of trampling on the snow, two people in white robes walked through the mountains, aiming at a fortified city in the snowy region of the Northern Heavenly Realm, which was a city standing between the heavenly dome, connected to the earth by iron chains, and the entire city was almost floating in the air, which was the center of the Northern Heavenly Realm - Black Rock City.
When the two of them stopped at the foot of Black Rock City, a heavenly soldier god general with a sword in his hand appeared on the upper side, and shouted, "Who is coming?"
"Brush!"
A relatively petite person in front stepped forward, lifted his cloak, revealing a beautiful face, and said, "The Seraphic Angel of the Western God Realm, I want to see Dong Ming, the king of the gods of the Northern Regions!"
