Chapter 857: On the eve of the pro-conquest, the Demon Lord's plan
To the north of the Taigu Bronze Gate, in the place of the hidden capital full of all kinds of negative energy, a huge and imposing city is located here, this is the Youdu King City, the center of the entire Youdu Dynasty, and the palace of the King of Youdu, but at this time, in the Youdu Palace, it is not the King of Youdu who sits on the throne, but Zhang Kaifeng, who is known as the Demon Lord of Youdu, and Lu Nanting, the head of the Sword Listening Rain Pavilion, is a pair of good friends!
A year ago, the King of Youdu and the Emperor incarnated in the North Sea fought fiercely for seven days and nights, and finally fought in the weapon, Cultivation is not dominant, and there are injuries on the body, the king of Youdu turned against the sky and killed the incarnation of the Youdu, causing the Zhuan Xuan to temporarily give up the plan to fuse the king of Youdu, but the king of Youdu himself is not easy, although he won but it was also a tragic victory, since then the king of Youdu has handed over all the affairs to Zhang Kaifeng to take care of, and even gave Zhang Kaifeng the right to sit on the throne, it can be said that Zhang Kaifeng at this time is not much different from the king of Youdu in addition to his name.
Some people speculate that Qiye is because Taikang has died, so he feels that his mother's wife has been avenged, so he decided to retreat to the mountains, and some people think that Qiye thinks very highly of himself and does not want people other than the king of Youdu to press on his head, so Qiye left Yudu in a rage, and some people think that Qiye mysteriously disappeared because the king of Youdu gave him a special task, which is correct for the time being.
Since Jade Jizi was proven to be an undercover agent of the dynasty, the name of the 'Three Giants of the Hidden Capital' has existed in name only, which also makes the side quest called the 'Interest of the Three Giants of the Hidden Capital' directly invalidated, and now the seven nights have mysteriously disappeared. The Big Three's only Zhang Kaifeng is left, coupled with the trust of the king of Youdu, Zhang Kaifeng suddenly experienced the feeling of monstrous power, after a year, although the current king of Youdu is still the nominal king of Youdu, but the person who really controls the operation of Youdu has become Zhang Kaifeng.
At this time, Zhang Kaifeng was listening to the poor cicada report on the progress of the matter, instigating the rebellion of the two Yi dynasty was the first big plan planned by Zhang Kaifeng after he took power, Zhang Kaifeng naturally hoped that this plan could be carried out perfectly, it turned out that Zhang Kaifeng's brain was really good, and the leader of the two Yi was indeed not very bright, and was successfully provoked by Zhang Kaifeng's slight trick, and the rebellion banner was erected as soon as his brain was hot, and he secretly attacked when the dynasty soldiers marched, and as a result, tens of thousands of troops were wiped out.
"Is there any movement on the other side of the dynasty?" Zhang Kaifeng asked at the poor cicada, the poor cicada nodded, then took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it and said: "Seven years ago, the secret agent hidden in Jiuli City sent back the news, and the minister was furious after receiving the news of the rebellion of the two Yi, and he declared in public at the court meeting that he was going to take the imperial expedition, if the minister was not empty words, he should have been almost prepared at this time!"
"Ou? This is a bit interesting, this kid is decisive, and his unsuccessful father is completely different, there is such a king of the Great Xia Dynasty, it will be a fierce rival for our Youdu!" Zhang Kaifeng smiled lightly, he thought for a moment and then muttered: "You can't let him drive the expedition in person, otherwise the kind of waste of Liangyi will definitely not be able to resist the Jing Rui of the dynasty, and it is impossible to say that the land of Yanqiu will also change hands...... Poor cicada, you said that if I send Zhongkang to Ji Xiang...... What will he do with it?"
โ...... I do not know. The poor cicada shook his head, and Zhang Kaifeng smiled when he heard the words and said, "I don't know, but that's why it's interesting, isn't it?"
After that, Zhang Kaifeng casually picked up the brush and wrote a very short letter, and he casually handed the letter to the poor cicada and said: "You go on a trip in person, be sure to hand over this letter to him before the imperial expedition!"
"Understood!" the poor cicada disappeared immediately after receiving the letter, although the secluded capital and Jiuli are located at the north and south ends of the Great Wilderness, but it is not a very long distance for the poor cicada who is good at speed, under the full force of the poor cicada, but in two days she crossed the entire Great Wilderness and came to the city of Jiuli, she took advantage of the night sรจ to sneak into the palace, the palace guards along the way could not detect the existence of the poor cicada at all, and the poor cicada came to the emperor's bedroom without much effort.
The poor cicada stood on top of the emperor's bedroom and lifted a tile to look down, although it was deep this night, but the emperor did not fall asleep, but sat next to the desk and quietly watched the map, the poor cicada saw this and took out the letter, and then threw the letter into the dormitory, a thin letter became extremely tough under the blessing of the poor cicada's mana, and with the poor cicada's hand-shaking letter quickly flew into the dormitory, just nailed to the map in front of the emperor, where Jiuli City was located.
The emperor saw that the face of the letter suddenly changed, but after all, the emperor had been the king for a year, and he had basically practiced the ability to be happy and angry, so he reached out and picked up the letter with an expressionless face and read it, this look at the emperor was suddenly shocked, and then his face was angry, he stretched out his hand to the Xuanyuan sword placed at the head of the bed, and the Xuanyuan sword immediately flew into the hands of the emperor, and then the emperor did not raise his head and swept away directly at the roof of the dormitory!
It has been a whole year since the emperor got the Xuanyuan sword, and now the emperor can only use the Xuanyuan sword to emit an infinitely powerful Xuanyuan sword qi, but the emperor can rely on the power of the Xuanyuan sword itself to send out ordinary sword qi almost infinitely, although the power of this sword qi cannot be compared with the Xuanyuan sword qi, but it is not weaker than the full force of the master of the realm of refining the void and the Dao.
Seeing the moment when the emperor stretched out his hand to summon the Xuanyuan sword, the poor cicada suddenly made a big noise in her heart, although she had not seen the power of the Xuanyuan sword qi with her own eyes, but she had seen the king of Xuanyuan who was injured by the Xuanyuan sword qi, even the king of the hidden capital was still very afraid of the Xuanyuan sword qi, the poor cicada did not think that he was more powerful than the king of the hidden capital, so the poor cicada turned around and ran away without saying a word, she just left the roof of the dormitory, and the roof of the dormitory disappeared completely after a roar, the poor cicada looked back and saw the scene after a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and then fled from Jiuli City at a faster speedใ
"Escort!" After a while, the palace guards poured into the palace, but they saw the emperor standing in the palace with a strict face, and he was still holding the Xuanyuan sword in his hand, so the palace guards knelt down and said 'guilty', the emperor waved his hand to signal them to retreat and then inserted the Xuanyuan sword back into the scabbard, and then immediately ordered someone to recruit the emperor Jiang Yihuai into the palace to discuss matters.
Jiang Yihuai's Emperor's Mansion is not far from the palace, and the roar of Emperor Fang Cai blowing up the top of the palace with his sword qi has already awakened Jiang Yihuai who is sleeping, after learning that the emperor has summoned him to discuss matters at night, Jiang Yihuai immediately realized that something big must have happened in the palace, so he didn't dare to delay entering the palace immediately, and when Jiang Yihuai entered the palace to see the emperor, the emperor did not speak immediately, but handed the letter to Jiang Yihuai, Jiang Yihuai frowned after reading it, and he couldn't help but say: "Zhang Kaifeng's move is really vicious!" โ
"Yes, his letter is right to the point, so I will invite the emperor into the palace late at night, I don't know what the emperor thinks I should do?" The emperor looked at Jiang Yihuai and asked sternly, Jiang Yihuai looked at the letter and pondered for a moment, then shook his head a little helplessly and said: "Although this matter is big, but in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a family matter of His Majesty, minister...... It's inconvenient to talk a lot. โ
Yes, it is a housework, Zhang Kaifeng's letter to the emperor does not have much content, the main content can basically be summarized into one sentence, but it is this sentence that makes the emperor worried, because this sentence is' Zhang Kaifeng plans to send Zhong Kang back to Jiuli City', as we all know that Zhong Kang is the father of the emperor, but at the same time he is also a puppet emperor pushed out of the secret capital, so Zhong Kang and the emperor are both close relatives and opponents, and Zhang Kaifeng proposed to send Zhong Kang back to Jiuli City, it is precisely this point, and once Zhang Kaifeng really does this, then the emperor will be in a very awkward position!
First of all, Zhong Kang is the father of the emperor after all, after Zhong Kang came to Jiuli City, the emperor naturally can't do anything to him, on the contrary, the emperor has to eat and drink well, can't beat or scold, and come to contact the father and son every once in a while, otherwise if Zhong Kang pulls his neck and yells: "My son abuses me!", then the emperor's reputation will stink, and the name of 'unfilial piety' is a reputation that no king wants to bear.
In the same way, the emperor and the prime minister cannot publicly express that he refuses Zhang Zhongkang's return, and Zhang Kaifeng can only dispel this idea himself, so how can Zhang Kaifeng dispel this idea? The emperor and Jiang Yihuai are very clear, as long as the emperor and the emperor's personal expedition are canceled this time, then Zhang Kaifeng will naturally not send Zhongkang back, but ...... After preparing for so many days, if the emperor suddenly announced that he would not drive the expedition in person, it would be a big blow to the prestige of the emperor, and for a while, the emperor and Jiang Yihuai felt helpless, because they couldn't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.
โ...... The conquest of the two Yi is a matter of the face of the dynasty, and it must not be terminated lightly!" The emperor said slowly, Jiang Yihuai knew that the emperor had already made a decision when he heard it, and sure enough, he only heard the emperor say: "I am a son of man, and I should be filial piety, since the demon lord is so generous and willing to send my father back, the emperor naturally can't live up to the demon king's kindness!"
"Your Majesty is wise. Jiang Yihuai smiled lightly, since it was impossible to avoid the result of Zhong Kang being sent back to Jiuli City, then the emperor would not take the initiative to prevent Zhong Kang from returning, on the contrary, the emperor would happily welcome him back, because the emperor knew very well that his father was ambitious and talented, as long as he was strict and did not give him an opportunity, although there may be some small troubles in the short term, but in the long run, it is not a good thing, at least the puppet dynasty formed by Youdu will not be able to continue to maintain without Zhongkang!
