Chapter 204: The Beginning of Troubled Times 1

"Sacrath, you're doing a great job. Looking at the water attribute token presented by Cress, the Demon Clan Mastermind said with a smile.

"I also hope that the mastermind can fulfill his original promise to recognize the status of my Jinpeng clan and restore my identity. Kress was unmoved by the compliment of the demon master, and he knelt in front of the mastermind and pleaded.

"Sacrath, you know. My demon clan has always been a force of faith for thousands of years, and glory has always been given to the greatest warriors. This is why the Jinpeng tribe, which has been doing business for thousands of years, has been discriminated against by other tribes. I know you've always wanted your clan to be respected by other tribes, but it's not something that happens overnight, and I need to take my time. Hearing Kresss's request, the mastermind sighed. Since the armistice with Dayuan, he has been working hard to promote the reform of the entire demon clan. It's a pity that many things are ingrained in the hearts of the demon nobles, and although she is fully committed to implementing reforms, the effect is still limited.

"So the mastermind wants to break his word?" After hearing the mastermind's reply, Kress was angry, the reason why he had endured humiliation and passed on information for the demon clan for so many years was to hope that his clan could get a higher status in the demon clan. Now that he has completed the master's task, he has not been paid accordingly, which makes him very unhappy.

"I'm not breaking my promise, it's just that it will take time. Sacrath, your hard work will pay off. I have now given you the same status as other chiefs, but because of your special status, the other chieftains of the demon clan only know about Sakres, who is engaged in intelligence, but look down on Kress, the chief of Jinpeng, who is in business. Don't worry, when I get the other three keys to rescue the demon queen, I will give you the supreme glory of the entire demon clan. Seeing Cress's displeasure, the mastermind hurriedly comforted him.

"Okay, the plotter's Mo Lian, I've already got it from the Shang Alliance, I don't know what the plotter wants this Mo Lian for?" Seeing that the plotter was relieved, Kress was no longer entangled, and he hurriedly took out a box of Mo Lian's lotus seeds from his arms and handed it over. This box of ink lotus is the reward given by the Emperor of the People to Kress to assist in "counterinsurgency".

"This thing is naturally very useful. By the way, you continue to help me keep an eye on that son of the Northern Underworld family, although he has already refined the spirit fox soul, I am still afraid that there is a certain dead-eyed chief who will be unfavorable to him. After accepting the ink lotus handed by Cress, the mastermind continued.

"The Beitang family has been wiped out, and the key to the northern realm has been obtained, what is the mastermind still doing with him?" Hearing the mastermind's order, Kress then asked.

"It's useful to keep him, but now I have only two of the five keys, and the other three have to rely on this to get the school," and the mastermind invited Kress out of his tent.

"It's a shame that in the end, I didn't see what the great heroes of the North really look like. After Kress left, Sana suddenly ran out from behind the mastermind, saying disappointed.

"I'll leave this to you, take care of it. If you die, you ask. The mastermind handed Sana the lotus seed that Kress had just presented, and tapped her on the forehead again. For this sister, the mastermind loves him very much.

Sana, who had been knocked on the forehead, stuck out her tongue and left the tent with the box containing the lotus seeds.

......

After completely stabilizing the situation in the north, the Fourteenth Prince led people to prepare to leave Yunzhou City and return to Dadu. As the new town guard of the northern realm, Bei Mingfeng personally went to send the school

"Thank you to the Fourteenth Prince for sending troops to help, but my brother ......"

"Feng Zhenshou rest assured, so that my brother lives comfortably in Dadu, he and my father see each other like old friends, and my father and emperor drink and talk. If he does return to the north, I'm afraid my father will be uncomfortable. Seeing that Bei Mingfeng was about to mention the Northern Ming Order, who was under house arrest in Dadu, the Fourteenth Prince hurriedly interrupted what he had just said and replied with a smile.

"But ......" Seeing that the fourteenth prince was unwilling to let go, Bei Mingfeng still didn't want to give up. After Chu Qiu's death, although the current Bei Ming Feng was the town guard of the northern realm, he was actually alone, and he very much wanted his brother to return to the northern realm.

"Don't get an inch, it's a great grace for my father to agree to keep your nephew. Do you really think that without us, he would just appear in Yunfu? If he was not in Yunfu at that time and did not have the slightest counterinsurgency merit, how could it be his turn to be the envoy of Wu Ning's joint. Seeing that Bei Mingfeng was unrelenting, the Fourteenth Prince was obviously a little angry. He said angrily to the North Stygian Feng.

Seeing that the Fourteenth Prince was angry, Bei Mingfeng naturally didn't dare to continue, and he respectfully sent the Fourteenth Prince out of Yunzhou City.

......

"You're doing a good job!" In the Imperial City of Dadu, the Human Emperor was very satisfied with the Fourteenth Prince's trip to the north.

"But Father, I had already completely controlled the Northern Territory at that time, why didn't I directly annex the Northern Territory and set up such a puppet?" asked the Fourteenth Prince puzzled about the Human Emperor's decision.

"In order to check and balance, in the three thousand years since the founding of the Great Yuan, the five major families have always checked and balanced each other. If we don't set up the people of the Northern Underworld and directly annex the Northern Realm, the other three will definitely feel threatened and will work together to deal with us. Moreover, the Northern Immortal Family has been operating in the north for three thousand years, and the so-called hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff. Although the envoys of the northern border have expressed their allegiance to us on the surface, in fact, if we really annex the northern border, it will be equivalent to ruining their jobs. They will also fight with us. Therefore, the direct annexation of the northern territory is not only of little benefit, but also easy to become the target of public criticism. Do you understand?" asked the question of the Fourteenth Prince, the Emperor replied earnestly.

At present, the northern and southern legions of the entire northern territory are controlled by the royal family and the Oriental family respectively. Although the northern realm is nominally not ruled by the human emperor, all the forces in the northern realm obey the command of the human emperor and rely on the power of the Dadu royal family to stabilize their rule. This is the result that the emperor wants.

In front of Weiyang Palace, the army of the Xicheng family was waiting for it. Since the Xicheng Ancestor issued a summoning order, the county guards in the Western Regions responded one after another and led their troops to come. At this time, the Weiyang Palace was full of flags and armor. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers were waiting for the Xicheng family lord to issue an order.

Outside Dali City in southern Xinjiang, Nangong Shangde, who was wearing armor, was also mobilizing before the war. Although they are enemies of the Beitang family, their lips are cold, and the Beitang family's present is likely to be their Ming.

Now that the entire northern border is in chaos, and the Dongfang family and the Dadu royal family are separated from Germany, this may be the best chance for them and the Xicheng family to seize Dadu.

Because of the surging undercurrents under the water surface, the originally calm water surface has appeared, and the signs of the troubled times have appeared!
