King Zhou Ling's sword frowned slightly, glanced at his confidant general coldly, shook off the envelope, and took out the parchment roll inside.

"From noon today, the imperial family of the Great Zhou Dynasty suddenly issued the same convening order to the nine military regions of the empire, strictly ordering each military region to send one Wuzun and ten martial kings back to the imperial city.

At the same time, the forces that are absolutely friendly to the royal family, such as families and clans in the empire, received a secret order from the imperial family, and all the martial kings went to the imperial city to gather in the fastest speed and with the most secret attitude. ”

The more King Zhou Ling looked at it, the more he frowned: "What is Zhou Wenwu doing? Concentrate on defense? Or are you going to attack us first to make a sneak attack?"

"Father, don't you have a rest? I heard them say that you have been here all afternoon. "A girl dressed in full costume came from a distance, tall and tall, with a slender waist, full breasts, and delicate and fair skin.

A fiery red palace costume sets off the rich atmosphere, and the well-groomed face is not a country or a city, but it has a tempting and charming taste.

It is Zhou Lingxue, the daughter of King Zhou Ling!

Because Zhou Linglu died tragically in Giant Elephant City that year, it was also a pain that King Zhou Ling strictly forbade to mention, so she became the recognized princess of the imperial city!

And wisdom and appearance coexist, widely admired.

Now it has been promised to be married to King Zhou Ling's right-hand man Mu Tuwa, and it is expected that King Zhou Ling will officially ascend the throne and call the queen and then hold a separate wedding.

At that time, the news caused quite a stir in China. How could Zhou Lingxue, such a proud woman of heaven, marry a reckless man? But considering Mutuwa's current strength and identity, as well as Zhou Lingxue's calm acceptance, the sensation lasted for a short time and then died down silently.

"Look at this information, the sudden transfer made by the Great Zhou Emperor Zhou Wenwu at noon today. King Zhou Ling handed over the information to Zhou Lingxue, and stared at the bloody battle in the beast park.

Although he remarried and obtained many princes after winning Dross that year, King Zhou Ling still doted on his daughter, and even put the love that originally belonged to Zhou Linglu on her, which can be described as doubling the favor.

Zhou Lingxue took it and looked at it, but she was not surprised, but showed a smile: "This is a good thing, why is my father sad?"

"A good thing, Zhou Wenwu noticed it in advance, how can it be a good thing!"

"Zhou Wenwu's ability is extraordinary, and the intelligence system of the Great Zhou has taken root in the south of the border for thousands of years, so it is natural that it is stronger than us, and it is also natural that it can be discovered. After learning the news that we had secretly dispatched the local Venerable and the Warrior King to gather, it could be deduced that it was also possible that we were going to take a blitzkrieg.

In fact, I have always wanted to mention to my father how to make better use of the power in our hands and solve the Great Zhou royal family more simply and conveniently. ”

"Huh? ”

"Simple! Deliberately and secretly leak the news that we are going to take a blitzkrieg, so that Zhou Wenwu can get it, and he will definitely do his best to concentrate his forces, so that we can directly descend to the imperial city of the Great Zhou Empire and use our advantages to wipe them out!"

Now it just so happens that they did it themselves in advance. However, seeing that they still retain some of the Venerables and Warrior Kings in the frontier, instead of mobilizing all of them, it should only be speculated that we will take a blitzkrieg, but it is not certain.

But it doesn't matter if this happens, there are a lot of forces gathered in the imperial city, as long as they are dealt with, the other generals will not make much trouble. ”

King Zhou Ling pondered slightly, frowned, and nodded appreciatively: "It's still Lingxue's thoughtfulness!"

Zhou Lingxue smiled and said: "Father doesn't need to praise me, you just got the information, and your mind is a little confused, and you will think of it when you calm down." ”

King Zhou Ling smiled silently, in a good mood, and motioned for Zhou Lingxue to sit down: "Come to me so late, is there anything else?"

Zhou Lingxue hesitated slightly, but there were no outsiders around, only the father and daughter, so she had no other concerns: "I heard Mu Tuwa inadvertently mention the day before yesterday that the Heavenly Blood Envoy of the Holy Spirit Temple intended to recruit him and let him join the Holy Spirit Temple with a fierce sword, and also put forward very generous conditions. ”

"Oh, and this?!" King Zhou Ling's face changed, and his brows furrowed: "Mutuwa agreed?"

"Mutuwa confided in me when he was drunk, and he was very vague. I could feel that he was a little resistant to the Holy Spirit Temple, and he wanted to protect us, but ......

"But what, say!"

"The conditions offered by the Holy Spirit Temple seem to be very rich, and he is now undecided. ”

"Ungrateful thing! I expected such a day when the Heavenly Blood Envoy offered to bring the fierce sword back to the Holy Spirit Temple, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly. ”

Zhou Lingxue was very calm, but comforted: "Father doesn't have to be angry, now after all, the Holy Spirit Temple is the greatest, we are vassals, even if they don't take Mutuwa, they will take away the fierce sword in his hand, this is a situation that we have communicated with in advance, and it is also a situation that we have to recognize."

The purpose of my visit today is to find out that my father has recently shown obvious resistance to the Holy Spirit Temple, which is not a good thing for us now. The Holy Spirit Temple's strength is strong enough to take control of the border south in our place, which means that they can replace the new puppet to control the border south. We must obey now, and we can only obey. ”

"I finally cultivated a Mutuwa, and let them take it away directly? I'm not reconciled!" King Zhou Ling clenched his fists and slammed it on the stone table, his eyes showing a cold light.

"It's just a Mutuwa, and it's not worth the anger of my father. I have repeatedly reminded my father that we are not puppets, but are using each other to help us control the Biannan with the help of the Holy Spirit Temple. As long as we have the opportunity, we can use the power of Bian Nan to secretly cultivate strong people and gradually win the right to speak. ”

"That being said, but ......" King Zhou Ling got up and looked back at the Bloody Beast Garden, clenched his fists hard, and gritted his teeth again: "I'm not reconciled!"

Zhou Lingxue held Zhou Lingwang's hand: "Forbearance! Only by forbearance can we live better and have more opportunities!"

King Zhou Ling took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a momentary anger." ”

"I will try my best to fight for Mutuwa, I can keep it, it doesn't matter if I can't keep it, there are more opportunities in the future. ”

"Well, I've worked hard for you, it's inconvenient for me to come forward directly, so I'll handle it up to you. ”

"Father, I have a question, and I haven't been able to figure it out. ”

"Say, there's no one else here, just ask if you have any questions. ”

"Why does the Holy Spirit Temple value us in the south of the border so much? With their strength, they can open up a new world in the Central Plains, why do they spend manpower and energy to fight in the south of the border? Also, why did the Heavenly Thunder Envoy suddenly go to the coast?" Zhou Lingxue asked all in one breath, all of which were questions that she had suddenly thought of recently and couldn't figure out.

In the dark corner of the zoo, Tang Yan stood quietly, originally about to leave and no longer listen to their 'gossip', but when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stopped and continued to listen.

King Zhou Ling's face was gloomy, and he stood on the edge of the fence, looking at the two groups of wild wolves in the beastyard that were being bloodily bitten, and was silent for a long time.

Zhou Lingxue was not hopeful, and just casually asked the question that had been bothering her for a long time, but now she looks at it...... Seems to really know some secrets.

"I have been working with the Holy Spirit for more than twenty years, and even though they have been hiding from me all along, they have refused to reveal their secrets to me. But I'm not so dizzy that I can't see through anything, and I've long ago begun to doubt their true purpose. What's more, in recent years, they have not been too deliberate in their attempts to hide themselves. ”

Tang Yan in the dark stared again, is there a play?!

King Zhou Ling raised his head, stared at the distant night sky with deep eyes, and was silent again, and then said: "The Holy Spirit Temple's interest in the territory of the southern border is actually not great, and the interest in the underground ancient city has gradually faded after repeated explorations, but what they have always maintained a high degree of sensitivity is the southern sea area bordering the southern border!"

Sure enough, Tang Yan tried his best to restrain all his breath and waited intently to listen.

Zhou Lingxue asked in disbelief: "The barren sea area is full of sea beasts, as well as terrifying beasts left over from ancient times, without human civilization, whoever enters will die, even the half-saints don't want to be presumptuous, do they want to control there? It's ridiculous!"

She also suspected the southern coast at first, but it was only a very vague conjecture and she never delved into it, but since her father said it, I am afraid that there is really some special evidence to prove it.

"It's ridiculous, but it's true! As for the specific purpose, I can't figure it out, but what I can be sure of is that the Holy Spirit Temple has shown interest in the southern coastal area more than once, and has invested its strength in it more than once.

After the formation of the situation of secession in the southern part of the border, they regularly traveled back and forth to the coastal area, strengthened their control over the area, and even refused to allow our troops to be stationed. ”

"Could it be that the temptation of the southern sea is stronger than that of tens of millions of territories in the south of the border?" Zhou Lingxue was a little confused, although the south of the border is located in a barren area, but after all, there are tens of millions of territories, hundreds of millions of lives, and countless hidden areas that have not been explored, if you can completely control it, it is definitely a great thing.

In comparison, the sea full of unknowns and dangers seems to be completely unworthy of too much energy, what does the Holy Spirit Temple want to do?

"An ancient underground city full of myriad secrets has given up on its efforts to concentrate on the seashore, and there must be something coveted there, which they have spent twenty years convolving. And ......"

"Huh?" Zhou Lingxue took a few steps forward, waiting for her father to reveal more secrets.

Although she is a daughter, she has ambitions that surpass her sister's, and she also understands the cruelty of putting the interests of the world first, otherwise she would not have calmly agreed to make a marriage contract with Mutuwa, a 'barbarian' who is hundreds of years older than herself!

"The Holy Spirit Temple suddenly began to urge to speed up its actions yesterday, vowing to control the south of the border in the shortest possible time, and the Heavenly Thunder Envoy also left the south and secretly left the south yesterday. The reason is that they have received new directives. ”
