Da Chu.
"Congratulations, Prime Minister, on being crowned King of Chu!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, many close friends gathered together, all of them were beaming with joy.
Qi State and Liang State were in civil strife and had no time to look around. Wang Qiao finally seized this golden opportunity and directly forced the emperor to grant him the title of king and nobility, which was hereditary.
Using the word "Chu" as the king's title is really a wolf's ambition.
But Wang Qiao is no longer afraid.
"The Chu capital's garrison and imperial army are all under control. The 200,000 troops are all elite and unmatched by anyone in the world. At this time, even the nine admirals and the palace guards have surrendered to me. Who else can compete with me?"
His eyes narrowed.
At this time, even if the feudal vassal towns in various places refused to submit and raised troops, he still had the most essential and largest piece of territory and the most elite army, and he could completely wipe them out one by one.
"How many people are currently raising troops?"
Wang Qiao sat upright, Yuan Tingyue stood tall, his demeanor calmed down, and he suddenly asked again.
"There are three vassal towns, Liyang Prefecture's Jiedushi Zhu Tong, Xin'an Prefecture's Jiedushi Li Chun, and Wujiang Prefecture's Jiedushi Wang Yujun... In the name of the king's plan to commit great rebellion, he directly raised troops to attack his mansion... and his subordinates See, this crusade is fake, it is true to take the opportunity to expand our strength, the princes are all sensible people, if we don’t take advantage of this opportunity to rise up, when my family is integrated, there will be no chance again!”
Prince Palace Chief Shi responded immediately.
"good!"
Wang Qiao stroked his palm and said: "Go and report to Emperor Ming right now. These three families are plotting something evil. We should issue an imperial edict and state the charges before sending troops to attack them!"
After all, he had not yet forced him to abdicate at this time. The Emperor of Chu was still orthodox, and this hit the mark.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone below admires him.
"Haha... They raised an army, and I am not surprised but overjoyed! Chudu's forces are deeply entangled, and I don't have much land and wealth to reward you. If you capture these three mansions this time, you will be rewarded with a title, and it will be hereditary!"
Wang Qiao laughed and said.
This kind of usurpation of the throne has never been carried out without large-scale killings. The domestic forces are intertwined, and there are not many resources to reward subordinates and condense them into a core team.
At this time, the three Jiedu envoys rebelled, but they were given an excuse.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of everyone below, especially the generals, became hot.
Wang Qiao's words undoubtedly promised the reward of becoming a marquis. At the same time, he also hinted that as long as the feudal town was pacified, the emperor would be forced to abdicate immediately!
Only the True Dragon Emperor is qualified to offer sacrifices to heaven and be crowned with nobility, and the implication of this is obvious.
"Report!"
Just as the atmosphere was getting heated, an imperial guard hurried over, looking anxious: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened!"
"explain!"
An uneasy feeling suddenly filled his heart, causing Wang Qiao to stand up involuntarily: "What happened?"
"The little emperor had dinner today and suddenly fell ill...the imperial doctor did not dare to use medicine!"
"What?"
Wang Qiao stood up with a ferocious look on his face.
Even though he had already decided to kill the royal family after he ascended the throne, the Emperor of Chu still had a righteous name at this time. Especially when he was about to send out troops to conquer, he needed this flag even more. How could he be seriously ill and dying
"Kings… "
At this time, the second Pegasus also arrived: "The Emperor... passed away!"
puff!
Wang Qiao's face was green and white, and when he suddenly opened his mouth, blood mist spurted out.
"Kings!!!"
…
In the fifth year of Yong'an, Prime Minister Wang Qiao ascended to the throne of Chu. The young emperor died suddenly of illness. The news immediately spread throughout the imperial city of Chu. It could no longer be concealed. It spread all over the world. Immediately, seven more princes raised armies in the name of revolt. Like fire.
Following Da Qi and Daliang, Chu State also fell into civil strife.
Jinting Lake, Zaiwu Island.
Twenty large ships were neatly moored at the dock, and thousands of soldiers and horses were watching the grand ceremony in silence.
After Xu Ting heard the news of the emperor's death, he immediately informed the entire army, offered sacrifices to the late emperor, and prepared to swear an oath to raise troops.
"Wang Qiao! He is so ambitious that he killed the late emperor and conspired to usurp the throne. His crime will not be pardoned! Although the court is not talented, he still has a three-foot long sword and thousands of soldiers. He must fight to the death with the king's thief and crusade against the rebellion! Avenge the late emperor! "
Xu Ting climbed to the high platform, holding the Zi Suo sword, his voice clear and clear.
"Cruel against rebellion!"
"Cruel against rebellion!"
The roar of the three armies shook the whole country.
"Send the order! Raise troops immediately!"
Xu Ting issued orders repeatedly, and the warship slowly sailed out of the dock and headed straight for several mansions near Jinting Lake.
There are no Jiedu envoys in these mansions, and they are still nominally under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even if there are ambitious people, they cannot blatantly expand the army.
Of course, it is not necessarily the case now that we have this great righteousness.
Therefore, Xu Ting made a decisive decision and immediately launched an attack. He wanted to take advantage of the lull in the crisis to directly bring several mansions near Jinting Lake under his control to achieve success.
With both mental arithmetic and unintentional calculations, as well as the advantages of warships and elite soldiers, Xu Ting is still very confident in this battle!
On the shore, Taoist Qingxuan looked at this scene calmly, with a flash of light in his eyes: "The military aura suddenly rose, and its momentum was like fire... Xu Ting's aura changed three times a day, and he was about to fully erupt and unlock his destiny!"
In fact, this so-called destiny is just a seed.
If there is no time, place, people, soil, rain and dew, it will be difficult to sprout and grow, but it will be a disaster.
But at this time, when the three talents gathered together, there was a slight chance of success!
"The original prefect of Kanze Prefecture retired due to illness and urgently took over the power. Xu Ren directly succeeded to the throne and immediately won the support of all counties. This is the result of more than ten years of subtle development. Now it is a matter of course, and it can strongly support Xu Ting in his campaign! The two are combined into one , the nearby mansions must be invincible. After seizing Jinting Lake, we have the foundation to gather enough human luck to start fighting for the dragon, but... I don't gain much, and I am robbed of opportunities one after another... Demon Clan! They deserve to be killed!"
Thinking of the Zi Suo sword on Xu Ting's body again, his face became a little gloomy.
This was an auspicious sign, so Xu Ting of course ordered people to spread it secretly to build momentum.
This is almost proof of destiny, let him get it back from the master? Is it because you don’t want to die quickly enough
"There is also Kong Luo, who was originally just a casual cultivator, unknown and not very good at cultivation. However, he obtained the Qingqiu Sword and refined it. His magic power greatly improved. He defeated several people prepared by our way in successive battles. At this time, he has obtained Qingqiu Sword. Xu Tingqingyan also went out with the army... "
Xu Ting couldn't move, and neither could Kong Luo.
Does he think Xu Ting is a fool for killing his colleagues and seizing the sword? At least there is still a plan at this time, which can roughly increase the vitality. If the taboo of dragon energy is offended, it will truly be a dead end.
Qingxuan murmured, feeling that there was a large invisible net that was constantly enveloping Xuanzhen Dao.
Originally, if these swords were gifts from them, it wouldn't be a bad thing. They should be treated as investments.
But at this time, she had completely made a wedding dress for someone else, and there was no benefit at all. Even the Taoist master was very depressed after hearing the message.
"The destiny of the human race is on the rise, and this Xu Ting is indeed a gathering of dragon energy... But this step of my Xuanzhen path seems to have gone wrong..."
Qingxuan couldn't help but feel awe-struck when he thought about the unpredictability of God's will.
The human race is on the rise, and massacres and catastrophes are on the rise. Many living beings must die in this process. Although Xuanzhen Dao has the most precious suppressive power and is usually free from disasters and calamities, it is really doubtful how effective it will be in the massacres and catastrophes.
…
Jinting Lake, in the Dragon Palace.
Fang Yuan and Jinting Longjun were sitting opposite each other. There was a chessboard in front of them, and a water curtain appeared in the void, with images of a large number of warships setting off for battle.
"Dragon Lord's magical power is really eye-opening!"
Seeing Xu Ting's great luck, Fang Yuan glanced at the Zisuo sword on his waist and Kong Luo who was guarding him, and couldn't help but smile.
"This Jinting Lake is where my legal domain is, and only the water mirror technique can work. If it goes beyond the scope of Jinting Lake, or if its popularity increases by a few points, it will be difficult for my magical power to peek from a distance..."
Long Jun smiled slightly and placed a piece on the chessboard in front of him: "Young Jun is aware of the subtleties and made plans early. Especially these two swords, they are really unique and I admire them very much."
He has vast supernatural powers, so he can naturally know the matter of the two swords at a glance.
Moreover, he and Fang Yuan were actually from the same camp and had no favorable impressions of those humane monks, especially those who intended to monopolize destiny.
With his wisdom, he could certainly guess that after the Xuanzhen Dao flourished, the next step would be to cut down the mountains and destroy the temples to make gods like them surrender. Those who disobeyed would be immediately ashes, and those who surrendered would also sign a contract and become servants forever.
Dragons are arrogant by nature, even if they become human gods.
He was quite happy to see this descendant of the Dragon Clan try to trick Xuan Zhen Dao.
"With Xu Ting's energy and strength, there is absolutely no problem in unifying the several mansions around Jinting Lake. These mansions are rich in products and the people live in peace. They are the land of Longxing..."
Fang Yuan followed Yi Zi, and now he talked about other aspects: "Wang Qiao usurped the throne, and it will also take time to pacify the surrounding vassal towns. If Xu Ting wants to grow, he must go all the way up the Anjiang River, connect all the prefectures, and annex Qihu , this is the one who occupies half of the country and has the power to fight!"
There are many water systems in this water realm.
In Chu State, Qihu, Anjiang, and Jinting Lake are connected by water systems. Plus the surrounding prefectures and counties, that’s half of the country! One-sixth of the entire human world!
"Dragon Lord Anjiang is a poisonous dragon. He likes blood sacrifices and will not sit back and watch the rise of humanity... I wonder if Lord Long is interested in Anjiang's divine position?"
"The position of Lord Anjiang?"
Jinting Longjun was startled, then suddenly smiled: "Young Master is such a generous hand, so what else do you want?"
"I was born in Qihu, how about taking this place as Qihu?"
Fang Yuan was not polite and directly made a condition: "You and I will help each other and fight against the Taoist sect, which will also give our demon clan a chance to survive under God's will!"
"A glimmer of hope?"
Jinting Longjun was a little confused.
"The rise of the human race is the general trend, but the world is unkind, and all creatures are stupid. Although our demon race is declining, it will not be exterminated. The vitality lies in the outer sea, which is just a humane land. There is no soil for our demon race to survive. ?”
Fang Yuan explained with a smile, which immediately moved Lord Long's heart.
"Young Master's words make sense!"
He stood up and looked at the water mirror technique. The army was attacking the city and plundering the ground one after another. A large amount of Qi was gathered and part of it was returned, making the Shaojun's Qi on the opposite side even more unfathomable. He couldn't help but sigh: "We are waiting for Shuntian Yingren, but we can't help it." Being understood by the demon clan, we can only work together in the same boat at this time, knowing that I have sinned against myself, and it is only a historical record! Let’s wait a thousand years before going to see it again!”
