Chapter 236: Zhao'an
Half a month later, the smell of blood in the sea here gradually dissipated, and the essence blood in the sea water was also absorbed by the 600,000 army. Of course, the ones who absorb the most are those earth immortal-level powerhouses, and half a month's cultivation can withstand hundreds of years of hard cultivation, and their strength has greatly improved.
Sun Ape and others have greatly improved their strength, and Zhendong Marshal Zhang Mo also came with good news, with the assistance of Niu Dun, the Zhendong army not only won the set goal, but also occupied nearly half of the sea area of the Lankou Kingdom with the cooperation of people with a heart, and the fifteen lords either surrendered or were killed.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and the day after Zhang Mo took a large piece of territory, the Deep Blue Empire finally sent an envoy Zhang Hanyang to convey the will of the Deep Blue Empire to Lu Shangguan Fei.
To Shangguan Fei's surprise, this envoy was actually an Eight Tribulation Earth Immortal, Shangguan Fei said with a smile: "Lord Zhang has worked hard, I don't know if the empire recognizes the current territory of the Xuanshui Kingdom. Zhang Hanyang said: "Don't worry, since the Dragon King occupies, these territories are naturally under the name of the Dragon King." His Royal Highness King Shen ordered the old man to say hello to the Dragon King. ”
Shangguan Fei said with a smile: "It turned out to be his own person, and this king is grateful to the prince and Lord Zhang." What this king promised, please rest assured. Zhang Hanyang said: "This is the best." King Shen ordered the old man to tell the Dragon King to be careful of the four princes. Shangguan Fei asked, "I don't know who the four princes of Lu Dao are?"
Zhang Hanyang explained: "The fourth prince is the Blue Maple Prince, the former lord of the Blue Maple Kingdom. Shangguan Fei thanked: "Thank you for the reminder from the prince and the lord, this king will pay attention." Please forgive this king for his inconsiderate hospitality, this king's palace has long been destroyed by the great war, and now it is under construction, if Lord Zhang is willing to stay a few more days. This king can entertain Lord Zhang well. ”
Zhang Hanyang said: "The Dragon King is serious, the old man still has something, so he will leave first." With Zhang Hanyang's departure, Shangguan Fei's royal tent began to slowly move towards the new Xuanshui Palace.
Three days later, Shangguan Fei came to the new Xuanshui Palace, which was more magnificent and more in line with Shangguan Fei's identity than the old Xuanshui Palace. In addition to praising Prime Minister Turtle, Shangguan Fei directly rewarded Prime Minister Turtle with a blood bead and said: "Prime Minister has worked hard and has delayed his practice. This is the blood bead that this king has condensed from the battlefield. The essence blood inside can break through to an eighth-order powerhouse. ”
Prime Minister Gui said gratefully: "Thank you for the reward, and the minister is ashamed." Shangguan Fei said: "Prime Minister, this king has something that you need to deal with, although the Xuanshui Kingdom is strong now. But intelligence work was neglected. I hope you can help him build an intelligence system. ”
Prime Minister Gui said: "Don't worry, the king. Wechen will do his best. ”
With Shangguan Fei stationed in Xuanshui Palace, he retreated and cultivated again. The army of the Xuanshui Kingdom is led by the marshal of the five towns, and the government affairs are handled by the prime minister. Shangguan Fei didn't have to worry about their betrayal, let alone a powerful rebellion. This dragon king is very comfortable.
Shangguan Fei has been in retreat for ten years, and all departments of the Xuanshui Kingdom have been operating in an orderly manner, and the taxes collected by the Xuanshui Kingdom every year are distributed by Prime Minister Guicheng, fifty percent by the marshal of the five towns, and the remaining forty percent are handed over to the Xuanshui Palace.
In the same way, the Xuanshui army went to war, and the results obtained by the army were distributed by the soldiers themselves, and the officers at all levels were allocated 20%, and the remaining 40% was handed over to the Xuanshui Palace, which made Shangguan Fei's private treasury quickly filled, and made the soldiers of the army more desperate.
Shangguan Fei reported something to Prime Minister Gui and met Prime Minister Gui in the main hall. Shangguan Fei said to Prime Minister Gui: "Prime Minister, I don't know what happened? Need to alarm this king?" Prime Minister Gui Cheng bowed and said: "King, the intelligence system you ordered Weichen to establish ten years ago has major news today. ”
Shangguan Fei immediately attracted interest, and Prime Minister Gui continued: "King, according to the report, there was a great battle in Minglan City, the imperial capital of the Deep Blue Empire, half a month ago, and most of the imperial city was destroyed. The most lull leads to the catastrophe. There is no way to know the outcome of the war, only that the other six kingdoms of the other six kingdoms of Lu Dao have strong people entering Beijing. ”
Shangguan Fei said solemnly: "Being able to lead out the Heavenly Tribulation in the Great War can only show that their strength exceeds that of the Eight Tribulation Earth Immortals, so one of them should be a person from the Demon Realm, and it is impossible for the other four realm powerhouses to enter Minglan City, tell me your analysis." ”
Prime Minister Gui Cheng said: "The king is wise, the person who did it is indeed a person from the demon world, and Weichen speculates that the strong man who fought with the people of the demon world is Lan Xiang of the current majesty of the Deep Blue Empire, you see, since this war, the six kingdoms have sent masters to Beijing, and they are all the henchmen of the six princes who stayed in the six kingdoms." ”
Shangguan Fei said: "Are there any other clues?" Prime Minister Gui Cheng said: "According to the report, King Shen sent an envoy to contact us, but they were all assassinated. ”
Shangguan Fei said: "It seems that our opportunity has come, as long as Lan Xiang dies, the throne of the Deep Blue Empire is undecided, and then there will be a chaotic war between the princes. ”
Prime Minister Gui Cheng was puzzled: "Great King, Weichen is stupid, my Xuanshui Kingdom can stay out of the matter, and even wait for the price to sell, why do you want to get involved in this troubled water?"
Shangguan Fei explained: "The prime minister only knows one thing, but he doesn't know the other, we must go to this troubled water." Even if Lan Xiang falls and the princes start a war, then in order to prevent the snipe and the clam from fighting each other and the fishermen from profiting, they will inevitably clear the field. No matter who wins the most, they are all family. The king's Xuanshui Kingdom was bound to be besieged by the remaining six kingdoms.
If we support King Shen, they will think that this King is just a puppet of King Shen, just like the other lords of the Six Kingdoms now. They will be relieved to continue to fight for the throne. ”
Prime Minister Gui Cheng respectfully said: "The king is wise, Weichen will go to General Sun to pass the decree." Wechen retired. ”
Shangguan Fei then continued to retreat, believing that Prime Minister Gui Cheng could handle it well, and even if it was not handled properly, he was not afraid of troubles that could not be solved if he was there.
Shangguan Fei cherishes the present time very much, as the power of the Xuanshui Kingdom becomes more and more huge, Shangguan Fei feels that he is more and more in tune with heaven and earth, and the heaven and earth principles that were originally covered by the dense fog are gradually lifting the veil of mystery.
Shangguan Fei also felt that the speed at which he absorbed the aura was also constantly improving, and in just ten years, Shangguan Fei's perception of heaven and earth far exceeded that of the previous hundreds of years.
Shangguan Fei has preliminarily determined, this is the luck of the body, as the rule of the Xuanshui Kingdom penetrates into the demon heart, Shangguan Fei also knows the reason why Li Yuan, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, can fight against the mysterious powerhouse of the Mahayana period with the cultivation of the Jindan period.
As the lord of a country, Shangguan Fei can monitor any corner within his power range, and at the same time, he can use the power of the Xuanshui Kingdom to fight the enemy and increase his strength. (To be continued......)
