Yan Feng was glanced at by Xue Po, and immediately reacted, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, big brother."
The servant served fragrant tea and retreated, Xue Po waved his hand, and the servants who were originally ready to serve in the living room also went down. He glanced at the eldest prince and said with a smile: "Your Highness came to the humble house so early, you must have something important to do."
Yan Ji cursed inwardly, you old fox, didn't you send someone to look for me yesterday, now you are pretending to be stupid. Smiling slightly, he calmly said: "Yesterday your guest minister gave me a lot of advice, and today I came here specifically to ask the marshal for advice."
Xue Po nodded, and said: "Your Highness, Xue Po has been a soldier all his life, and he is a rough person. I will speak directly if I have something to say. Judging from the current situation, it is very unfavorable to you!"
Yan Ji sighed, "I'm too careless when I'm busy. I thought I had the upper hand, but I didn't expect the father to have such a trick. It seems that Jiang will always be old and spicy." The words were already very disrespectful, but his expression was very calm.
Knowing that Yan Ji was testing him, Xue Po smiled lightly and said, "His Royal Highness, I understand what you are thinking now, and I am also very clear about the current situation. Before the conclusion of the matter, there is still time for everything. But what is the final result? But it depends on whether you have enough courage. Your Highness should know the truth of the winner, the prince, and the loser. If you want to achieve great things, you must take risks. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If your Highness only wants to be safe, then Just pretend that Xue Po hasn't said anything."
Yan Ji said sternly: "Marshal Xue was joking. You are an important minister of the empire and have assisted your father for many years. Let me call you uncle. Uncle Xue, since I came here today, I have already made up my mind. I would rather be holy than broken. Even if I have the heart to give in, Xiao Wu will definitely not let me go after he ascends the throne. From his despicable methods to his second brother, it is very obvious. I am here today to invite uncle Show me a way."
"Okay, it really is the person I Xue Po likes." Xue Po stood up and paced back and forth in the hall, although Yan Ji was anxious, it was not easy to rush him at this time.
After a while, Xue Po's footsteps finally stopped, stopped in front of Yan Ji, he looked Yan Ji squarely and said: "Since this is the case, I don't know if His Highness has such determination." After speaking, he raised his palm like a knife, and lightly slapped it in the air. With a light wave, a light silver fighting spirit floated out, splitting a solid wooden table beside it in half.
Yan Ji's eyes shone brightly, and he also stood up, "Uncle Xue, don't worry, since I came here today to beg to see you, I am ready to sacrifice everything. From the words of the guest minister yesterday, it means I have already heard the meaning of it, and now if you want to make a difference, you must not have a trace of womanly benevolence. Since he is not benevolent, don't blame him for being unrighteous." After saying this, he glanced at Yan Feng, Yan Feng didn't seem to hear, still drinking tea with his head down.
Xue Po smiled, "Okay, since Your Highness has made such a decision, then Xue Po's plan for His Highness can be carried out. Your Highness, let us analyze the current situation first."
Yan Ji nodded, he didn't have any doubts about Xue Po, because Nian Bing proposed the spare parts in place of Xue Po yesterday, if there was no sincerity, Xue Cui would not easily propose that kind of condition, and such spare parts happened to be what he wanted. allowable range. Yan Ji is very aware of Xue Po's power in the Ice Moon Empire, he doesn't just want to use Xue Po, a military genius like Xue Po, even after he inherits the throne, he must reuse it. Therefore, although Nian Bing's words surprised him very much, Xue Po's sudden decision to support him in everything also weakened his worries a lot. The second of the three marshals supported him, and he was somewhat sure even if he launched a mutiny. What's more, it is far from that level now.
"Okay, then let me talk about my current situation first. I have nothing to hide in front of Uncle Xue. Now, the entire city defense of the outer city of Ice Moon City is in my hands. An army of 50,000 can be mobilized at any time. And the power on my side accounts for nearly two-thirds, and there are many powerful people among them. Even if my actions are special, as long as I can finally sit in that position, I have the confidence to suppress all opposing voices. Now Looking at it, there are two biggest problems. One is from the Royal Guardian Corps. You are also very familiar with the leader of the Royal Guardian Corps. He is only loyal to my father. No matter what method is used, it is impossible to buy him for I use it, so we don't need to think about it anymore. The second, and most important, is the potential threat from the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest. I'm somewhat sure. Yanji has been planning for that day for more than ten years, and I think I have enough cards in my hand."
Xue Po smiled coldly, and said: "Okay, Your Highness really treats Biao as one of your own. If that's the case, I don't need to hide anything from Your Highness. Xue Po has made a decision long ago, but he has been hesitating in the final choice, hey, frankly Said, if something happened to my daughter, I would not have decided so quickly. After all, it is hard to say who will die. However, for the day you mentioned, Xue Po also has some preparations. Although there are not many guests in my house, they are all A material that can be used to great effect.”
Yan Ji nodded approvingly, Nian Bing's unfathomable depth left a deep impression on him.
Xue Po paused for a while, and after a while, he seemed to have decided on something, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "I think I can help you solve the two problems His Highness mentioned."
Yan Ji was surprised and said: "Is this... possible? Uncle Xue, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Xue Po smiled slightly, and said: "Why don't His Highness think how many people are needed to compete with the goddess of ice and snow?"
Yan Ji thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid no one knows how powerful the descendant of the gods is. To deal with the goddess of ice and snow, you need a lot of masters. And at least if they are masters above the level of Martial Saints, ordinary people face ice and snow. The priestess of the goddess can only be cannon fodder, she can easily tear up a large number of soldiers with a single spell. I am now inviting four guest ministers of the martial saint level, but even if they add up, I am afraid they are not the opponent of the priest of the ice plate goddess. The priest of the ice and snow goddess Such strength can no longer be measured by the title of magician."
Xue Po's eyes brightened, and he said in a deep voice, "What if we add three Martial Saints and four Magisters?"
Yan Ji's whole body was shocked, and he looked at Xue Po in surprise, he never imagined that Xue Po had such powerful strength in his hands.
Xue Po smiled indifferently, and said: "Only through the test of iron and blood can a true master be cultivated. I think His Highness should understand this truth. If I can rule the roost on the battlefield, I must have my own tyrannical power, otherwise , how can he be worthy of being the Marshal?"
Yan Ji took a deep breath and said, "If Uncle Xue really has so many masters to assist you, then you are definitely the number one marshal of our empire. Eleven martial saints and other masters jointly attack, I think, even the goddess of ice and snow No matter how strong the sacrifice is, you may not be able to resist it. Uncle Xue, you really give me confidence!"
Xue Po smiled and said: "I have already solved the biggest trouble for you. As for the palace, I have five hundred personal guards under my command. Your Highness, there shouldn’t be much problem rushing into the palace. Those high-level magicians in the Ice God Tower in the palace don’t have to worry, Your Highness. Although those people are very threatening, when the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess is about to arrive in Ice Moon City, As the subordinates of the Ice God Tower, they will definitely go to greet them. It is the vacuum-like time that is our best time to act. What's more, if the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess encounters an attack, he will definitely alarm the palace. The people in the Ice God Tower are better at sending messages. Therefore, when we deal with her, we have to send a large number of soldiers to surround her. It would be even better if the people from the Royal Guard can be mobilized."
Yan Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold light kept flickering, "Okay, I understand, when the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest leaves the Ice God Tower, it's the time for us to do something. Uncle Xue, let's discuss the specific details, with your cooperation , my certainty will be greatly enhanced."
An hour later, Yan Ji left the Marshal's Mansion. When he left, he already had a confident smile on his face. When it comes to fighting, who in the Ice Moon Empire can be better than a master like Xue Po? Careful arrangements are the key to success, not to mention that the dark forces cultivated by Yan Ji are not so simple. Although the royal guardian group is loyal, not everyone is so loyal, not to mention his mother and queen are in the palace.
"It's really that woman's son who decided to attack his brother and father so easily." Yan Feng said calmly.
Xue Po smiled and said: "Yan Ji is indeed a character. He has been making arrangements for more than a day or two in order to ascend to the throne. According to the information we have received, Marshal Ness, who supports him, has secretly dispatched his army. The garrison of Ness It is very close to Ice Moon City. Although Yan Ji didn't say it clearly, the troops to deal with the Ice and Snow Goddess's sacrifice will definitely be transferred from Ness. Although the fifth prince also has the support of Marshal Ram, Ram's station is far away from the imperial city. It is very far away, even if it is mobilized, it will not be easy. What's more, the army under my control is blocking the inside of Marshal Ram's army. If he wants to return to Ice Moon City, he must pass through the territory of my troops. Therefore, whether it is The eldest prince is still the fifth prince, and he has always wanted to win over me for his use. All along, the empire has not been afraid of the military power being in the hands of us marshals, because when there is no war, we marshals must live in Ice Moon City, and the empire There are many garrisons in every city in the country, but this approach will inevitably make the marshals too powerful, and once any marshal wants to rebel, it will have a great impact on the empire."
Yan Feng was taken aback, and said: "Father, you told me these are..."
Xue Po smiled slightly, and said: "Just like money is yours when you receive it, only when the military power is completely in the hands of the monarch, can you truly control the entire empire. So, after you ascend the throne, the first thing to do It is to divide the power of the marshal."
Yan Feng felt hot in his heart, he knew that Xueji did this for his own sake, nodded firmly, and said: "If I can really sit in that position, I will definitely obey your orders, and all important positions in the general will be replaced by own people."
Xue Po secretly sighed in his heart, although you are my son-in-law, but for the sake of the Blood Lion Cult, I have to do this, how many people do you have? To be precise, it should be replaced by our own members of the Blood Lion Cult. At that time, you will be completely excluded from the power of the military!
"Where is Nian Bing? Has he not gotten up yet?" Yan Feng asked.
Xue Po frowned slightly, and said: "I am not as good as Tao. Maybe he is still resting." He also felt the strange energy fluctuations from the abode where Nian Bing lived last night, but he also got Nian Bing's soul. The sound transmission method told me not to disturb, so I didn't interfere. It was originally planned that Nian Bing would participate in today's meeting with Yan Ji, but he didn't come.
Putting on a brand-new white magic robe, Nian Bing walked out of his room, breathing some cold fresh air, feeling the constant energy in his body, he couldn't help showing a smug smile. The opening of Brutal Middle Six made him see his hope for the future. Although the level of Aperture Six mentioned by Oscar made him understand that he could not compete with the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess, but he understood the importance of Tianyan Point better. Without Tianyan Six, It is also impossible for the Lizhong acupoint to open so quickly. What the fat man said was indeed correct, the Tianyan acupoint is a spiritual acupoint, and with it, it would be easier for him to cultivate to a higher level.
He could clearly feel a warm air flow on his chest. Nian Bing found that his magic power was much more stable than before. Since the Tianhua card was destroyed, it was the first time he had such a feeling. The innate energy absorbed The speed is also obviously faster than before. After opening the Lizhong acupoint, Nian Bing faintly felt that the cultivation of the seven major acupoints of the human body has a lot to do with the innate qi. Only by making full use of the innate qi can it be possible to let the It evolves faster. And mastering the method of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, his innate energy absorption speed has been significantly enhanced. However, until now, Nian Bing has not figured out the connection between innate energy and his own magic power. Is it really just as simple as an auxiliary function
Another month passed, and the turmoil caused by the death of the second prince gradually calmed down, and the whole Ice Moon City also calmed down. However, those who knew the inside story knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
Blood Lion Sect Bingyue hall secret room.
The Great Elder let out a breath, and said: "It seems that talent is the foundation of a master. White hair, we have tried it this time, but all kinds of methods can't let us feel the innate spirit, let alone you The seven acupoints described are gone. We are all old, and time has not allowed us to make a major breakthrough."
After Nian Bing opened the Ruozhong acupoint, he was not in a hurry to explore the use of the Ruozhong acupoint, but continued to practice hard to improve his magic power. With the nourishment of his innate energy, his magic power improved rapidly, and in the mid-term The Tianyan acupoint also brought him a lot of surprises. The subtle control that could not be achieved before can now be easily completed, especially the subtle control of the shadow puppet and the changes in the field of the Tianyan have reached a new height. As expected, the innate domain will continue to grow with the improvement of cultivation. He very much hopes that the seven elders can become stronger. The seven elders are all experienced martial saints or magisters. If they can break through the bottleneck and reach a new level, then the strength of the Blood Lion Cult will surely reach a higher level. Steps, and even the age that constrains them will ease. However, Xiantian Qi is not as easy to possess as imagined. Although Nian Bing told the seven elders about his cultivation process without reservation, a month later, the elder Jiewei still maintained his original state. Not a trace of innate energy was produced.
"Elder, you don't have to be discouraged. I think, as long as you work hard, you elders will definitely make a breakthrough." Nian Bing was thinking about the loopholes in his cultivation while talking, but he found that he was able to open the Tianyan Point and Lizhong acupoint is mostly due to special circumstances and good luck, but these cannot be taught.
The knock on the door suddenly sounded, waking Nian Bing up from his thoughts. "Come in."
The door opens. Yin Dang, the master of Ice Moon Hall, walked in from the outside and said respectfully: "Master, the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess has left the Ice God Tower and is heading towards Ice Moon City, accompanied only by the envoys sent by the Ice Moon Empire."
Nian Bing's eyes lit up, "Okay, it's time to come. Master Yin, pass my order, the five hundred blood guards of the Blood Lion Hall are ready to attack at any time, seven elders. It's time for you to leave. These seven scrolls It is the last life-saving thing. If you can’t do anything, you don’t have to force it. Immediately activate the scroll. The location of the scroll is in Ice Moon City. When you come back, come here and wait for me. Elders, everything is safe. With this You are more important than action."
The seven elders respectively took over the magic scrolls handed over by Nian Bing. The Great Elder smiled slightly and said: "Master, don't worry, it's not easy to dismantle our old bones, not to mention, there are so many cannon fodder. Take advantage of the situation , is what my Blood Lion Cult is best at."
Nian Bing nodded, and said: "What you have to do is procrastinate, don't fight recklessly. Once the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest activates the God's Arrival Technique, you must immediately tear the scroll to escape. It's ridiculous that the great prince Yan Ji thinks that eleven martial arts A saint-level master can kill a divine descendant. But how does he know the true power of the divine descendant?" From a magister and a martial sage to a divine descendant and a divine master, although there is only one level of difference, the strength is Related huge. Back then, the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest had just become a descendant of the gods. She was able to fight against the three magisters including Flame Lion King Rongyan with her own strength and returned with all victories. Today, twenty years later, she will definitely become stronger. Judging by the superposition of strength, she certainly cannot be Eleven martial saints and magister-level opponents, but once she casts the divine descent technique at the expense of mana and damage to herself, even if there are more masters, they will not be able to resist. Nian Bing once heard from several dragon kings that even the powerful bodies of the dragon kings would be injured by the huge pressure of super magic when casting the twelfth-order forbidden spell. Magic above the first level, after all, the load is too great. Therefore, the task he gave to the seven elders was only to delay, not to kill.
The one who made melons at the same time as Nian Bing was the First Prince's Mansion. A total of 5,000 elites had already been arranged by the First Prince in various secret courtyards in Ice Moon City. The action could start with just his order.
Nian Bing returned to the hotel alone, and Ice Moon City was about to experience huge turmoil. He wanted to ensure the safety of Mao Mao.
"Brother Nian Bing, it's great that you come back. Sister Bingyun also went out today, Mao Mao is so lonely by herself." Mao Mao giggled, ran to Nian Bing, took his big hand and shook it vigorously. shake.
Nian Bing naturally knows what Bing Yunzhi is doing. Since the goddess of ice and snow is coming to Ice Moon City, the owner of the Ice God Tower will naturally go out of the city to greet her. Cat, go with brother Nian Bing, brother has found you a new place to live."
Mao Mao was taken aback, and said: "Then what about Sister Bingyun? We will be anxious if she doesn't come back."
Nian Bing smiled and said: "It's okay, brother will contact her. Let's go, we will leave here immediately." He still has a lot to do, and he can't delay for a moment.
Mao Mao's face paled slightly, and said: "Brother, is it because Sister Bingyun wants to arrest you?"
This time it was Nian Bing's turn to be dumbfounded, "Maomao, do you already know?"
Mao Mao nodded, and said: "I heard Sister Bingyun used a crystal ball to tell others that she wanted to arrest you and go back to what tower. Brother, I think Sister Bingyun is a good person, but why did she arrest you?"
Nian Bing sighed softly, and said: "I can't explain these things clearly in a sentence or two, so I will tell you later. Okay, let's go. There are going to be big changes in Ice Moon City. My brother will take you there first." Go to a safe place, and when everything calms down, I'll take you home, okay?"
Mao Mao nodded obediently, and hurried back to the room to tidy up his simple salute. Nian Bing didn't notice that there was a cunning light flashing in Mao Mao's charming big eyes.
Nian Bing sent Maomao to the secret room of Bingyue Hall, and after telling the Blood Lion Sect subordinates to take good care of her, he immediately left Bingyue Hall and went straight to the Marshal's Mansion. The Hundred Blood Guards have assembled.
The cat in the secret room opened the door and looked out secretly. At this time, the congregants of the Blood Lion Cult were all busy preparing for the upcoming sky-changing operation, and no one noticed her. After closing the door again, Maomao giggled and sang softly: "I summon you in my name, Xiyun, come out, my pet Qiangqiang."
There was a soft light in Maomao's eyes, a clear six-pointed star appeared in front of her, the light flashed, and a black and flickering thing appeared on the ground in front of her, if anyone could see it at this time, they would be surprised Mouth, because what appeared in front of Maomao turned out to be a huge cockroach, the size of a plate, with a body nearly 100% in diameter shining faintly, two tentacles swaying slightly, the body lying on the ground like a statue.
Maomao kicked the big cockroach. Angrily said: "Don't go to sleep, you little pets, one by one is lazier than the other."
Only then did the big cockroach move, and rubbed against the cat's feet affectionately a few times, the cat's eyes flashed, the body of the big cockroach quickly spun around on the ground, and a layer of black light without a dark aura enveloped the cat. The body of the cat, Maomao took a step forward and stood on the back of the cockroach. Although her cockroach summoned beast doesn't have much attack power, it is the best hidden beast. When it was still in the first stage, this cockroach had deceived the phoenix girl by virtue of its ability to transform. Now it is in the second stage, and it has more protective functions. In the package of black light, Maomao sang again Said: "I call you in the name of Xiyun, come out, my pet Tiantian."
With a flash of light, the big mouse, which had become much bigger, sweetly shook its tail, twisted its fat buttocks, and looked at the cat with its small dark red eyes. Through the special spiritual power of the white people, Mao Mao immediately gave Tiantian an order.
"Mice are born to make holes, and the dark mouse is a master at tracking holes. Tiantian, you will lead the way and follow Brother Nian Bing. Qiangqiang, follow Tiantian, don't get lost."
The Tiantian mouse's head was connected, and its two front paws were moving on the ground as fast as a steel shovel. Its huge body quickly went down, and the black light on the cockroach's Qiangqiang back also became more powerful. Maomao Squatting down, under the influence of the black light, he became one with the cockroach. The cockroach moved very quickly, and with a swish, it chased Tian Tian who had penetrated into the ground. There was an extra hole in the secret room of Bingyue Hall, which was originally well-guarded. In fact, even Mao Mao herself didn't expect that she and Nian Bing were together.
Ice Moon Empire Palace, the already very weak emperor Yan Tiannan received the news that the Ice and Snow Goddess Priestess was coming, and his energy was obviously better. The head of the regiment, Rudolph, ordered, "Rudolph, the priest of the Ice and Snow Goddess is about to arrive in the Ice and Snow City. I am not in good health, so you replace me and immediately lead the three thousand elites of the Royal Guard to meet at the gate of the city. I think, Ice God The masters of the tower have gone."
Rudolph is upright and has won the trust of Yan Tiannan. He said in surprise: "Your Majesty, the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest is the most powerful existence on the continent, and you are welcomed by people from the Ice God Tower. I don't think so." We need to go, protecting your safety is my most important duty, I think, Ice and Snow Goddess Priest will not care about these common customs."
After Yan Nantian asked the left and right maids to step back, he took a deep breath, cheered up his tired spirit, and said: "Of course I know that the Ice and Snow Goddess does not need to be condensed, the most important reason why I asked you to pick her up is not because Ice and Snow Goddess is sacrificed. The Ice and Snow Goddess Priestess is coming, there is no reason for the boss not to know about it given the influence he has drawn in the city, and with his intelligence, even if he didn't think of my decision in advance, he will definitely react when he hears that the Ice and Snow Goddess Priestess appears. At this time, Yun'er is the most dangerous. I asked you to pick up the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest. What I really mean is that you bring Yan Yun into the palace by the way. I can only announce the successor when I have the Ice and Snow Goddess Priest here. Even though I am the absolute master, you are the only one I can trust. Although the palace guard group has only 10,000 people, they are as skilled as a forest. You can bring 3,000 people to pick Yan Yun back. Guarantee his safety, don't worry, I will stick to it until you come back. Cough..." After saying so many words in one breath, he was a little out of breath, coughed a few times, and his face became paler .
Rudolph was startled, he was a man who couldn't hide his words, "Your Majesty, do you mean that His Highness might attack Fifth Highness?"
Yan Tiannan smiled bitterly: "Although you hadn't come to the palace when I came to the throne, you should have heard how I inherited the throne, right? In order to be able to control the power of a country, even if you are facing There is nothing you can't do with your own brother. Well, you go quickly, and things will change later. I think it's time for the boss to take action soon."
"Your Majesty, the Seventh Prince seeks an audience. He also specially brought a doctor to help you diagnose and treat you." The voice of the Chief Eunuch came from outside the door.
There was a faint smile on Yan Tiannan's face. In his anxiety, only the seventh son could make him feel at ease. Ever since Yan Feng and Xue Po's daughter Xueyu got engaged, Yan Feng would visit Yan Tiannan in the palace almost every day. Although he said very little, Yan Tiannan could see that his son was concerned from the bottom of his heart. What made Yan Tiannan most gratified was that this son, who was once the least valued by him, never made any demands on him, not at all. Every time he came, he would just quietly accompany him for a period of time, and then leave silently, occasionally talking a few words, his voice was still as cold as usual. Yan Tiannan suddenly discovered that he was the king all his life, and the one who stayed by his side in the end was actually this son.
Yan Tiannan winked at Rudolph and said, "Let him in."
Rudolph bowed respectfully to Yan Tiannan before retreating. He had acted according to Yan Tiannan's order.
The door opened again, and Yan Feng walked in with a young man in gray cloth, Yan Tiannan smiled slightly and said: "Feng'er, why are you here again, don't you want to spend more time with your future wife? It's a pity that the father's health is failing, otherwise, I will definitely preside over the wedding ceremony for you."
