The four major dukes of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, their dukes' palaces are all in the imperial city.

In the past, according to the idea of the royal family of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, it was necessary to gather the dukes who were in charge of the highest power together, so that it would be convenient to manage, because the imperial city was full of Yulin troops, with 100,000 troops, and the duke's local troops would not be in the imperial city, so it was convenient to manage.

Although each duke has their own territory and family territory, they themselves still have to spend most of their time in the imperial city.

But now that I'm here for the Bloodstained Duke, I just fell into the conspiracy of the Bloodstained Duke!

The bloodstained duke has six territories alone, of course, there are only four territories now, the blood feather territory has been occupied by Xia Xu, the loess territory has also fallen apart, and Xia Xu's troops have also occupied a lot of territory!

The various territories of the blood-stained duke are powerful, and they do not listen to the orders of the imperial court, although the blood-stained duke is in the imperial city, but the royal family has no way to take the blood-stained duke!

Because the bloodstained duke brought his elite troops over when he quelled the eunuch trouble!

Under the command of the blood-stained duke, there are many elite soldiers and strong generals, and he put the strongest troops under his command in the capital!

That's the number one powerful army under the command of Bloodstained!

Scarlet Legion!

The strength of the Scarlet Legion is almost the most powerful force in the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

The Scarlet Legion, with a full 50,000 troops, has occupied the imperial city!

Although they are less than half of the Yulin Army with 100,000 troops, the people of the entire Eastern Sui Kingdom know that the Yulin Army is not their opponent!

Because the Scarlet Legion usually participates in too many battles!

The Scarlet Legion once fought against the Demon Clan, but in fact, it took the initiative to attack, just over there in the Barren Ridge, it was planned by the Blood Stain, and together with the Blood Feather Lord, he led the troops and took the initiative to attack the Demon Clan!

His purpose is to train soldiers!

A full 250,000 blood-colored legions, after a year of fighting, directly became 70,000!

Later, with the addition of downsizing and deployment, the number of troops of the Scarlet Legion under the current normal state was fixed at 50,000!

It can be seen how ruthless the heart of the blood-stained duke is!

It can be seen how big the ambition of the blood-stained duke is!

He just wants a crack army!

What you want is a force that can control the overall situation!

And the bloodstain really did it!

His blood-colored legion, 50,000 points will be in the imperial city, no one will mess with it!

The current garrison of the Imperial City, that is, the forbidden army of the various gates and walls of the Imperial City, has been controlled by the Bloodstained Duke!

That's a full 20,000 regular troops on weekdays!

As for the rest of the Imperial City troops, they are not worth mentioning!

For example, the princely guards of the ten princes of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, each guard has 3,000 people!

Combined, it's only 30,000 people!

But now that the duke is powerful, five princes have taken refuge in the bloodstained duke, which is enough to contain the other princes' guards!

and the Royal Knights, who are mainly responsible for the honor guard on weekdays, are only 2,000 cavalry!

Not to mention the 100,000 Yulin Army, although it is in the hands of Prime Minister Xu Feng, but the Prime Minister's few catties and taels, the blood-stained Duke is clear!

For the sake of his own status, for the benefit of their various warrior clans, as long as the blood stains do not make the first move, the prime minister's 100,000 Yulin army will definitely not make the first move!

Because the prime minister knows that although the blood-stained duke is powerful and has covered the sky with one hand, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are afraid of him, as long as they don't fight, the interests of the prime minister and the scholars will continue to exist, and they are not good birds, they only think about getting more benefits every day, and get more gold and silver for the scholars and families!

Therefore, the prime minister is selfish and greedy, and he actually has a lot of feelings for the Eastern Sui Kingdom!

This is exactly what the Bloodstained Duke likes to see!

In this way, the bloodstained duke will increase his strength even more unscrupulously!

In fact, the prime minister also understands in his heart that the royal family of the Eastern Sui Dynasty is now finished, and it is impossible to hang himself from a tree here in the royal family.

What the prime minister has to do is to lead the scholars, take the cards in their hands, and wait until the world is in chaos, waiting for the price to sell!

After all, any strong person who seizes power, they need politicians and officials to govern the country, so the status of the scholar clan still needs to be there!

Therefore, the only thing that the prime minister has to grasp is to hold the Shi clan in his hands, train the children of the Shi clan well, and listen to himself, so that no matter what time it is, he will be invincible!

Even if the blood-stained Duke becomes the monarch, the prime minister will not hesitate to take refuge in him!

Maybe, after working together for many years, maybe Xu Feng can continue to be the prime minister!

Besides, if there is a fief or something, wouldn't Xu Feng go further!

After all, the reward of the founding fathers is very high!

However, Xu Feng did not immediately take refuge in the bloodstained, and he also had his own plans!

Who knows if Duke Zonghu and Duke Qianlan will perform a miracle and defeat Duke Bloodstained and Duke Qingliang?

This is all possible, Prime Minister Xu Feng is almost eighty years old, and he has seen too many things!

Too much backwater!

Too many defeats to win!

What a Waterloo!

Therefore, Prime Minister Xu Feng still adhered to his own line, leading some civil and military officials who were loyal to him and used him as a backer, as well as the scholars, to stick to their own front!

What a shameless bureaucrat!

"So, let's not deal with Prime Minister Xu Feng first?" In the Bloodstained Duke's Mansion, Duke Qingliang was also there, and he was asking the Bloodstained Duke what to do next.

They're going to do something!

"Of course, the prime minister doesn't have to worry!" "He wasted 100,000 troops in vain, in the imperial city, if I had another 100,000 troops, I would have had an accident a long time ago!"

Duke Qingliang also laughed, "My 50,000 troops of the Blue Legion have come to the imperial city fifty miles away, in order to hide people's eyes, I have arranged for the troops to hide in the woods, just waiting for your signal!"

The blood-stained duke said: "Your 50,000 troops are mainly responsible for containing Zonghu's 20,000 Tiger Knights! They are also thirty miles outside the imperial city, once there is something in the imperial city, they will attack the city as soon as possible!"

"When the time comes, your cyan legion will cooperate with 20,000 defenders of the imperial city to block the Tiger Knights from the imperial city, and after I take 50,000 blood-colored legions into the palace to kill the monarch, then come out together and we will jointly exterminate the 20,000 troops of the Tiger Knights!"

Duke Qingliang nodded and said, "In this way, the world is ours!"

Bloodstained shook his head and said, "No, before that, we have to do one more thing first! the biggest thing at the moment!"

"Oh, what is it?" asked Duke Qingliang.

Bloodstained smiled, "I have already asked the Sancai swordsman to assassinate that desolate lord Xia Xu!"

"Assassinate him? why?" Duke Qingliang was shocked, he didn't understand it very much.

"Is killing him the most important thing now, although Xia Xu has very high skills, he looks like a person born out of thin air, but he has already left the imperial city, and he is still going to the barren mountain to fight against the demon clan, presumably now the other eight demon kings of the demon clan are already on the way to conquer the barren mountain, he can still block the attack of the demon clan for us if he has no time to take care of himself, why should we kill him?"

The blood-stained eyes revealed murderous intent, "No, he's an outlier, he must die!"

"As long as he is dead, I can rest assured!"

"Xia Xu is dead, but the people and army of the barren mountains are still there, and they can still resist the demon clan for a while!"

"When we take the imperial power of the Eastern Sui Kingdom, it is not too late to organize the military and civilians of the whole country to fight against the demon clan, and then I will be the new generation of Ming Jun who fights against the demon clan, and you are the first-class hero of the fight against the demon clan, so that the people of the world will not say anything, isn't it, those ignorant people, that's it!"

"If he doesn't die, I feel like something bad is going to happen!"

Listening to Duke Bloodstain's words, Duke Qingliang also nodded, "You're right, but...... Is it necessary to send the Sancai Swordsman to assassinate Xia Xu, I think we should put a top killer combination like the Sancai Swordsman in the lineup for attacking the Imperial Palace, after all, our ultimate goal is the Imperial Palace!"

"No, I'll attack the palace myself!" the Bloodstained Duke smiled.

"What? Don't you guard the gate of the Imperial City, what if Zonghu and Qianlan join forces, what will I do? I can't deal with the two of them alone!" Duke Qingliang was a little embarrassed.

"You don't need to deal with them, they can't enter the city gate!" "And you have to go back to your territory, gather all the 100,000 troops in your two territories, and prepare to fight against the remaining 20,000 Tiger Knights of Zonghu with the 400,000 troops of my other four territories, as well as the 200,000 troops of his two territories, and the 200,000 troops of Duke Qianlan!"

"This will be the largest civil war in the history of the Eastern Sui Kingdom! The number of troops participating in the war has exceeded one million! As long as we win, the Eastern Sui Kingdom will be ours!"

The bloodstained duke continued: "I am in charge of the civil war in the imperial city, and you are in charge of the war between the territories, that's it, you go and prepare!"

Duke Qingliang nodded and said: "Okay, then I'll prepare, let's still follow the original agreement, after the matter is completed, you will be your monarch and occupy Zonghu's territory, and I will occupy Qianlan's two territories, and Qianlan will also give it to me, I really like that duchess so much!"

"Just follow the previous agreement. Bloodstain laughed, "Also, when we take the Eastern Sui Kingdom, and then repel the demon clan, we will start preparing to attack the Dragon Qi Kingdom! According to our strength, the Dragon Qi Kingdom is not our opponent at all! When the time comes, we will be ready to dominate the world!"

"The four kingdoms in the north, let's first defeat the Longqi Kingdom together with the ally Liuye Kingdom, and then defeat the Jinhui Kingdom, and we will become the Northern Empire!

Duke Qingliang also said: "Okay! Our great cause starts now!"

Duke Qingliang immediately left the duke's hall and left the duke's palace.

The bloodstained duke sneered.

"Just you, you want to share the world with me?"

"Hmph, you're just wishful thinking!"

"If I didn't need 200,000 troops in your territory, I would have taken you with me?

"When I take the palace, you can obediently go back to your own territory!"

"Duke Qianlan's big beauty, I can give it to you, but you can only have her people, her territory, or mine!

"When I settle all the disputes in the Eastern Sui Kingdom, I will free up my hands to clean you up! At that time, the Eastern Sui Kingdom no longer needs any dukes! I want to change the pattern of the duke's dynasty! I want to monopolize power!"

"As for you, the broken duke, take that big beauty of Qianlan to Huangquan together! To put it bluntly, you are just a waste wood greedy for beauty!"

"Only a person like me who has lofty ideals will truly reach the top! I will not be tempted by beauty, because I know that as long as I have power, I can have any beauty! I am a person without feelings! I am a cold-blooded person, and I have only one goal! That is the highest power, that is immortal life, and the most powerful skill!"

"As for the others, they are all scum, and they can all be sacrificed, even if they sacrifice the entire Eastern Sui Kingdom, they will not hesitate! If people do not do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed! Everyone is for me, and I am for myself! I would rather bear the people of the world than let the people of the world bear me!"

"I want to be the number one hero in this world!"

"Hahaha!"

Bloodstained laughing arrogantly in the hall of his own house!

Laughter spread throughout the hall and beyond!

But Duke Qingliang can't hear it at the moment, he has already left the blood-stained Duke's Mansion, he wants to leave the imperial city immediately, return to his territory, gather soldiers and horses, and prepare to fight against Duke Qianlan!

One of the territories of the Duke of Qingliang is adjacent to the territory of the Duke of Qianlan.

There is only one goal for him, and that is Duke Qianlan!

In order to get Duke Qianlan, Duke Qingliang can do anything!

Duke Qingliang also has his own plans!

His plan is that he doesn't care about Duke Zonghu's troops!

The bloodstained duke let himself fight against Zong Hu and Qianlan, and the fool went to fight against the forces of the two dukes at the same time!

That's 400,000 troops!

Let the 400,000 troops of the blood-stained Duke deal with the 200,000 troops of Zonghu, but he will lead his 200,000 troops to snatch Duke Qianlan over and be his wife!

As for what dominates the world, that's a matter for later!

For Duke Qingliang, the most important thing is to hold the beauty!

Longchen Continent is extremely dangerous, even if you are the king, even if you are the emperor!

There will always be unknown dangers waiting for you!

There are always more powerful characters waiting for you!

Therefore, in the eyes of Duke Qingliang, the idea of the blood-stained Duke is too far away and basically refuses to be realized!

In that case, what are you going to do with him!

Then just do it according to your own ideas!

Therefore, as long as you take down Duke Qianlan and incorporate her troops, then your strength will grow!

At that time, even if the bloodstained duke conquered the territory of the Duke of Zonghu, his forces would inevitably be reduced!

At that time, even if the bloodstained duke is not satisfied with his ideas, he has to consider his own strength!

This is what Duke Qingliang thinks!

Every duke is not a vegetarian!

At that time, if Duke Qianlan has the same heart with him again, maybe the two of them can fight against the bloodstained Duke together, and at that time, maybe who will be the king of the world!
