The country of the scorching sun, which is a country with a vast territory and barren land. On the border with the July Nation, the Scorching Sun Army's forces would often engage in small-scale harassment in order to plunder some of their scarce supplies.

The king of the July Kingdom, Yuezheng, had to send the generals Yuexiong and Yueyuanzhen to lead heavy troops to guard the border with the Scorching Sun Kingdom to play a deterrent role. At the same time, Yuezheng also sent an envoy to the Scorching Sun Country to negotiate with the emperor Meng Tan of the Scorching Sun Country. Eventually, the two countries agreed to open the border town and allow the residents of the two countries to buy and sell there, which fundamentally resolved the contradictions between the two countries.

However, the peace is only temporary, and the apparent calm hides the truth of the undercurrent. Like a calm lake, a pebble was thrown, causing continuous ripples, and the country of the scorching sun began to move.

Go back three years.

In the middle of the night, the wind howled. The emperor of the scorching sun country went to Mengtan, and he was alone in the study to review the folds.

"Montan, you're very laid-back. A voice with an obvious reproachful tone exploded in the ears of Emperor Mengtan. Emperor Meng Tan, who was concentrating on reviewing the folds, was so frightened that he trembled, and the folds in his hands fell to the ground with a 'snap'.

The white light in the study bloomed, so bright that Emperor Meng Tan could barely open his eyes. When the white light weakened, a figure dressed in gray appeared in front of the emperor's eyes.

Unable to carefully identify the face of the gray-clothed man, Emperor Mengtan immediately knelt on his knees, prostrated himself on the ground, and bowed at the feet of the gray-clothed man.

This is definitely a picture that all the subjects of the Scorching Sun Nation dare not dream of. The emperor, who is usually high-spirited, would make such a demeaning move, what is the origin of this gray-clothed man?

"Meng Tan greeted the immortals. Emperor Meng Tan said the identity of the man in gray, and showed an extremely pious look on his face, not daring to have the slightest blasphemy, even if he borrowed tens of thousands of bear hearts and leopard galls, he didn't dare.

"Hmph!" the gray-clothed immortal turned his back to Emperor Meng Tan and let out a cold snort.

"......" Emperor Meng Tan swallowed his breath, and even began to breathe carefully, while racking his brains in his heart to recall when he had offended the immortal and annoyed his old man.

"You're getting along well with the July Kingdom. The gray-clothed immortal questioned Emperor Meng Tan in a tone full of disgust.

"If you go back to Shangxian, this is all for the sake of the residents of my Scorching Sun Country, in the past few years, the living standards of the residents of my Scorching Sun Country have greatly improved..."Emperor Meng Tan told truthfully. Although he could hear that Shang Xian's tone was not good, he didn't dare to say half a wrong word before he truly understood Shang Xian's true intentions.

"Bastard thing!" the gray-clothed immortal didn't wait for Emperor Meng Tan to finish speaking, and angrily interrupted Emperor Meng Tan's words.

"The old man did not send the immortal disciples of my Scorching Sun Sect over this time, but spent a lot of immortals, and with the concerted cooperation of the elders of the sect, the figure of the old man was transmitted to the world. I didn't come here to listen to your nonsense!" The gray-clothed immortal's angry expression was mixed with distress.

"The immortal is angry. Meng Tan was stupid, and he still looked at the immortals to show it. "The more Emperor Meng Tan listened, the more confused he became, aren't all immortals who come down from the fairy world, why did the immortals come out again, and what else is it that consumes the immortal spirit to teleport the figure, it is really incomprehensible.

"Of course you won't understand. Those who can return to the world from the fairy world are people who have not yet become immortals, no matter how long they have entered the fairy world, as long as they have not broken through to become immortals, they are all called immortals, they are limited by the barriers between the world and the fairy world, and under certain conditions, they can return to the world from the world. But once you break through and become an immortal, you will never be able to enter the human world again, otherwise you will be scattered in the barrier between the human world and the immortal world. If it weren't for the seriousness of the situation this time, I would have taken the risk of teleporting the figure and telling it myself. The words of the gray-clothed immortal finally made the emperor Meng Tanmao pause, but he also understood the fact that what the immortal had entrusted him must be completed even if he was exhausted.

"Shangxian, please rest assured, Meng Tan guarantees that even if he goes to the soup, he will definitely complete the mission delivered by Shangxian. Emperor Meng Tan swore to the gray-clothed immortal, although it was not clear what the gray-clothed immortal wanted him to do, but his attitude must be correct and he should pay attention to it from the bottom of his heart......

"Swear?" The gray-clothed immortal was very dissatisfied with Emperor Mengtan's performance, and his tone of voice was even more severe: "I just want the result!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Emperor Meng Tan didn't dare to say anything more, but blindly agreed, behaving more submissively.

"You give me a memory, attack the Kingdom of July and include it in the territory of the Scorching Sun Kingdom!" The gray-clothed immortal stopped talking nonsense and told Emperor Meng Tan his true purpose.

"......" Emperor Meng Tan heard this, and immediately gasped. It's too hard. Although this is also his dream all along, compared to reality, whether in terms of the army's equipment, supplies, or combat effectiveness, there is a gap between the Scorching Sun Kingdom and the July Kingdom, and Emperor Mengtan finally put away his eyeing heart and was content with the status quo. This time, however, he had no way to avoid it. The Grey-clothed Immortal's clear statement, as well as his promise to destroy the Kingdom of July, became the only and necessary outcome.

"Immortal, I need some time to prepare before I can ensure that I can complete the mission of attacking the July Kingdom. The emperor calmed down his extremely uncalm mood and made a little request.

"Yes. I'll give you five years on earth. to get it done. If you can do it ahead of schedule, I will give you many unexpected benefits. "The gray-clothed immortal has left enough time for Emperor Mengtan, which is not to say that he is not in a hurry, but he wants to make sure that nothing goes wrong.

The words of the gray-clothed immortal stopped here, but Emperor Meng Tan understood that if the period of five years was exceeded, even if it was completed, I am afraid that what awaited him would be an unimaginable severe punishment.

"Obey the immortal's orders!" Emperor Meng Tan replied decisively.

Only then did the gray-clothed immortal turn around and look at the confident Emperor Meng Tan, his angry expression became much lighter. Mochizuki Sect, I wonder if you can still laugh when you learn that the July Kingdom under your control was annexed by the Burning Sun Kingdom controlled by my Burning Sun Sect?

The dazzling white light reappeared, and then, along with the figure of the gray-clothed immortal, disappeared.

"Congratulations to the immortals!" Emperor Meng Tan still behaved very politely in the face of the gray-clothed immortal who had disappeared.

Tranquility was restored in the study again, and Emperor Meng Tan sat back to review the bookcase and thought for a long time.

"Come on, summon the three princes quickly!" Emperor Meng Tan called his attendants loudly.

"Yes. The attendant standing outside the door of the study immediately replied that he did not know what had just happened in the study. As for why the emperor summoned the three princes late at night, he didn't understand. But it was his duty to carry out the emperor's orders without hesitation, so the attendants quickly left while agreeing.

It didn't take long for the third prince Meng Zhiyuan to come to the door of the study with the sound of hurried footsteps.

"Your Majesty, the three princes have been summoned and are waiting to be summoned. The squire announced through the door.

"Come in. Emperor Meng Tan raised his head and said eagerly.

"The child visits his father. The third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, pushed open the door of the study, knelt on the ground and saluted: "I don't know what is the matter with my father summoning the child overnight?"

"Yuan'er, your usual performance is the most satisfactory to your father, and your father has decided to send you to do something extremely hard and dangerous, are you willing?" asked Emperor Meng Tan tentatively.

"It is a great honor for the child to be able to share the worries and solve problems for his father!" Meng Zhiyuan, the third prince, replied very simply, being able to get his father's appreciation will be of great help to him inheriting the throne in the future.

"Okay!" The performance of the third prince Meng Zhiyuan made the emperor Meng Tan extremely satisfied.

"The Moon Ruler of the July Kingdom is already sixty-two, and for him, it has reached the end of his life. When he abdicated, I decided to take advantage of the replacement of the old and new emperors of the July Kingdom to attack quickly and annex the July Kingdom in one fell swoop. Emperor Meng Tan summoned the third prince Meng Zhiyuan to his side, attached it to his ear, and said the plan for formulating Lu.

"Father is wise!" the third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, immediately expressed his absolute support.

Emperor Meng Tan waved his hand and stopped the words of the third prince Meng Zhiyuan.

"I haven't finished talking yet," Emperor Meng Tan said, expressing his worry, and continued, "There is still a long way to go before such a plan can be successfully completed. It is naturally indispensable to enrich the country and strengthen the army, but what is more crucial and important is to have a loyal and reliable internal response, which can disrupt the deployment of the July State and form a situation of internal and external attack when it is launched on a large scale. ”

"Father, the child will not fail in his mission!" the third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, immediately guessed the intention of the emperor Meng Tan to summon him.

"The future of the Scorching Sun Kingdom depends entirely on you. "Emperor Meng Tan said such a meaningful sentence, does it mean that the Burning Sun Kingdom can only exist if it fulfills the requirements of the immortals, or does it want to pass on the true intentions of the three princes, I am afraid that only Emperor Meng Tan knows the truth.

"Father Xie!" The third prince was pleasantly surprised, of course he understood the latter's meaning.

The third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, took advantage of the night to leave quietly, and since then he has disappeared in the scorching sun country and disappeared.

From this day on, the Scorching Sun Kingdom secretly recruited troops and horses to create sharp weapons. The vast expanse of land covers it all well. Deep in the mountains, in the desert, there are hidden troops in intense training everywhere. For the small countries between the Scorching Sun Kingdom and the July Kingdom, the Scorching Sun Country adopted coercion and temptation methods, and was desperate to win over.

The July Kingdom sensed the subtle changes in the Scorching Sun Country, but it was still unclear about its true intentions, and only appropriately took some preventive measures to deal with it.

The Green Moon City of the July Kingdom, in the secret room in the City Lord's Mansion. The third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, was kneading the human skin mask in his hand.

Ever since he had infiltrated the July Kingdom from the border with more than a dozen personal guards three years ago, he had chosen Green Moon City as the city where he was lurking. After successfully assassinating Yue Pingfeng, the city lord of Green Moon City, and cutting off his entire face to make a human leather mask, the third prince Meng Zhiyuan incarnated as Yue Pingfeng and took charge of Green Moon City. The huge fortune won by relying on the gambling industry was quietly transported back to the country of the scorching sun by him and became the capital of the army.

Not only that, but the third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, also cleverly concealed the whereabouts of many death row prisoners, turning them into bandits, disrupting the security of various parts of the July Kingdom, while exercising their fighting skills, these people will become an indispensable part of the team he uses as an internal response. Moreover, he also used his identity as the Lord of Green Moon City to secretly arrange people loyal to him to gradually take over the army guarding Green Moon City, which is his real killer weapon.

In the past three years, the Scorching Sun Nation has matured in all aspects, and it is only one perfect moment to deliver their fatal blow.

It was under such circumstances that the third prince Meng Zhiyuan learned the news that the princess Yueting and Yueyu left the palace alone, which was really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the twin princesses and force the emperor to obey Yuezheng, and the third prince Meng Zhiyuan saw a more convenient road.

The voice of the personal guard of "Report ——!" pulled the thoughts of the third prince, Meng Zhiyuan, back from fantasy to reality: "Young master, the people of Hongyun Casino ask to see the city lord." ”

"Huh?" The third prince felt a little uncomfortable, Qian Jinduo should have sent people directly to the secret room, and sent someone to see the city lord? Without thinking too much, the third prince Meng Zhiyuan put on the human skin mask and walked out of the secret room.

"Are you from Fortune Casino, what are you doing here?" 'Yue Pingfeng' sat on the top of the lobby, looking at the person kneeling underneath, his face was cold and ruthless.

"Qiyu City Lord, my boss has been killed, the murderer has fled, and I hope that the city lord will arrest the fugitive and uphold justice. Wu Tongsheng burst into tears, the boss is dead, the reward is gone, it's strange not to cry.

"You said Qian Jinduo died?" 'Yue Pingfeng' couldn't believe his ears.

"Exactly, I also know that the murderers are a man and four women, including twin women. Wu Tong replied affirmatively, as if he had seen Qian Jinduo killed by Wang Yan with his own eyes.

"Bastard! stupid! useless waste!" 'Yue Pingfeng' stood up suddenly, walked in front of Wu Tong, and lifted him up: "He's dead, what are you doing alive!"

As he spoke, he struck Wu Tong in the chest with a palm and killed him.

"Decree that the gates of the city be closed and that no one should enter or leave. Angrily tearing off the human skin mask again, the third prince Meng Zhiyuan shouted loudly: "Search for me, dig three feet into the ground to catch them!"
