Emperor Qitai heard a "buzz" in his head and blood rushed to his face. He tried his best to suppress his emotions, but his heart was already panicked and his legs were shaking slightly.
To put it bluntly, imperial power must be implemented by someone. If the imperial edict is not obeyed, the sanctity will be lost immediately. The only option is to use force to encircle and suppress, but even if it is to encircle and suppress, it must be defeated.
At this moment, another eunuch reported: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Yingzhou."
"Pass!" Emperor Qitai said after being silent for a moment. After all, he was the emperor. He was a little panicked and weak just now and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Your Majesty, the people we sent to Yingzhou to welcome Pei Qian and Ye Su'er failed. They said that the old lady was upset. The real king arranged for his wife to go on a trip with him. He no longer knows where he went. And, and..." This The eunuch hesitated as he spoke, and the emperor's face turned cold: "What else?"
"Your Majesty, the people on Liujin Island wanted to control the little princess, but they were all killed. Qianhu Yao Jifu died in the battle and was nailed to the dock - said to be a pirate."
"And afterward, there was news that the little princess was also missing. I wonder if someone tipped off the news or what happened." The eunuch said, his face turned a little pale.
"I understand, you can go down." The emperor said to the eunuch with a white face. Seeing the eunuch withdraw, the emperor grunted, his face turned bright red, but he looked at Feng Min: "What do you say, Lord Dao? Is there any way? ?”
"Master Dao said that Pei Ziyun might have gone to Qinzhou on a whim. For this reason, he might have to wait until the victory of wiping out the monster clan, and then summon him with great achievements." Feng Min told Master Dao, The emperor gradually calmed down, pondered for a long time, and suddenly ordered: "Since Pei Ziyun has gone to Jin and Qin, he will immediately recognize Pei Ziyun's command and send an edict to encourage him."
"Just say that I and the imperial court owe a great deal to Lord Zhen."
Jinju
When Pei Ziyun arrived in Zhoucheng, a post station reported Pei Ziyun's itinerary immediately, and the report flew like a shooting star. When the last step came, the horse came back thirty miles away from the city.
I saw two imperial envoys with full ceremonial guards and books to greet them, and ordered: "Set off cannons and play music!"
In an instant, drums and music were playing loudly, and hundreds of officials greeted him. The first two imperial envoys stepped forward and said, "See the true king."
"You are all imperial envoys, how dare you accept your great gift." Pei Ziyun was surprised and helped him up with his own hands. At this time, the two imperial envoys said: "The emperor has already issued a decree, ordering the true king to take charge of the overall situation. We are all under restraint."
He added: "The real decree is still coming quickly, but the advance manuscript through Daolu Division has arrived."
Li Pan of Chuzhou and Huang Yuanzhen of Beiyuanzhou said so and handed over the manuscript.
Pei Ziyun bowed and took a look, only to see that the whole edict was copied, and the words were warm and friendly: "I am not very happy that I am worried about the world."
Pei Ziyun's face did not change after reading this sentence, and he said: "Your Majesty, I am very frightened. If this is the case, let's go in!"
"Your Majesty, please!" The two imperial envoys led the way into the city.
As soon as he entered the city, he heard the continuous blast of firecrackers, and for a moment the smoke enveloped him. Pei Ziyun looked carefully in the car, calmly, but his heart was tumbling.
Arriving in Jinzhou, the county magistrates and governors greeted relatives and friends along the way, knelt down and bowed, and also presented "Yi Cheng". At this moment, the imperial envoys were surrounded and the people knelt down to worship. If it were anyone else, they might think this was a sight, but Pei Ziyun smiled bitterly and felt a chill in his heart. .
"This is the same as an imperial edict. On the surface it is a gift, but upon careful consideration, it is chilling."
"No matter how close the emperor and his ministers are, there is no need to be so polite and considerate. This in itself is a signal. It seems that the emperor is determined to kill me."
Thinking about it, Pei Ziyun stared at the camp getting closer and closer. When the three hundred captains saw it from a distance, they knelt down and shouted in unison: "Meet the true king."
Then the imperial envoy led the officials to the main camp. The Chinese army's tent was spacious, with a file in the middle showing the four treasures of the study. Generals rushed in one by one. Pei Ziyun stood in front, and the two imperial envoys followed, kneeling down on one knee. Said: "Greetings to the True Lord!"
Pei Ziyun rose to his seat, looked around, and said with a smile: "Many of you are familiar faces. I have seen the situation. The demon army is very ferocious, killing everywhere. Although you are doing a good job, the steps are a bit slow. Every day The demon soldiers are slaughtering the people, so we really have to be anxious."
The generals raised their hands together and said, "I am willing to listen to the true king's orders."
Most of them are sincere. No matter what the court thinks, Zhenjun still has the ability to fight. Pei Ziyun nodded and said: "I am issuing an order now. The people in the frontline counties must evacuate as soon as possible. I will give you half a month." , if it is not completed in half a month, I will kill the prefect and the county magistrate."
"Second, all the cavalry from each state are concentrated on me. If there is any disobedience and refuses to hand over, they will also be dealt with immediately by military law."
"yes!"
Pei Ziyun said calmly: "Without blood food, the demon army is nothing more than a few thousand. With me here, what's the point of thousands of demon soldiers?"
This is not how a war is fought. It is just a matter of relocating people. It is actually a big project. It must be coordinated with the court in order to be orderly. However, Pei Ziyun's trip was just for the monster clan's gift package. He slaughtered the gift package before he could "go to Beijing." , why should we consider other places
Naturally, as long as you are eager for quick success, you will come.
King Lu's Blessed Land
The underworld is deep, and there are Yinshan Mountains everywhere. With the sudden changes in King Lu's blessed land, the surrounding area has become uneasy, and the evil spirit has leaked out. Many ghosts have turned into terrifying evil ghosts under the catalysis of the evil spirit.
"Roar"
As an evil ghost roared, it tore a weaker evil ghost into pieces and greedily devoured it. In the blessed land, it was shrouded in blood mist and evil spirits abounded. Densely packed skeletons hung on the evil trees, swaying in the wind. Soldiers patrolled in the forest, watching the distance vigilantly to avoid the invasion of heroic spirits.
Suddenly, all the demon soldiers in the blessed land looked up into the sky, and saw a demon light falling from the sky, extremely bright, and landed on the reincarnation platform.
"See the Demon Emperor." As the reincarnation platform moved, the scribe picked out a figure, and King Lu fell down. Standing on one side with Xie Chengdong, he sneered: "Last time I activated the dragon energy, what authority did I get?"
"Your Majesty, I really have no authority." The scribe smiled bitterly. At this time, another stream of blood light fell from the sky, and some souls fell into the blood lake in front of the stage of reincarnation.
"Hmph, do you think I will believe it?" King Lu said coldly: "If you really don't hand over your authority, don't blame me for being merciless."
"Your Majesty, I have no authority, you should feel it." The scribe's heart moved and he felt King Lu's anxiety and said.
"Where does the remaining half of the authority go? Your master is dead, and it should be returned to me." King Lu roared, and with the roar, the entire blessed land shook and echoed.
The scribe's mind changed and he thought of the Demon Emperor and then Pei Ziyun. At this time he said: "Your Majesty, it is sleeping in the stage of reincarnation. I heard that Pei Ziyun has come to the battlefield again. As long as you kill Pei Ziyun, you will complete the work of the ancestors of demons." If you fulfill the emperor's last wish, you can ascend the throne and gain all authority."
"Your Majesty, I have finished speaking. I will leave first." The scribe bowed and turned into a ray of light, which fell under the stage of reincarnation and turned into a statue without any movement.
"Damn it!" King Lu was furious, but he hid for a moment, turned around and asked Xie Chengdong: "What do you think, is this true or false?"
"It should be true in general, but there may be some tricks, but no matter what, we have very few choices now." Xie Chengdong bowed: "As expected of Pei Ziyun, the evacuation order has hit our vital points, and His Majesty only has half of the authority. You can't force the demon soul to possess you at all costs, so you must have blood sacrifices to increase the demon army. However, once the evacuation order is issued, only soldiers will defend the city on the front line. Even if the city is captured in a bloody battle, only a few soldiers will die, and all will be killed. Monster soldiers, we gain more than we lose."
"You see, this is the situation where the dragon is trapped."
"But there is no despair. The speed of people's transportation is extremely slow. Even if the people are just migrating, it is difficult to leave their homeland. How can it be that easy?"
"Presumably some of the people must have been evacuated, and they were not far away. After breaking through the first line of defense, we can reach the people again, but the scary thing is the second move."
"Pei Ziyun ordered the cavalry to be concentrated. Thousands of them have been gathered. This force is extremely fast and is staring at us. It is enough to annihilate our separated troops. This forces us to maintain the main force and cannot move."
"Pei Ziyun is really a master of the art of war. I don't know how he mastered it."
After hearing this, King Lu sighed and felt melancholy for a moment: "I consider myself to be a talented person, but when I met Pei Ziyun, I was restrained in every way. Since God gave birth to you and me, why did he give birth to Pei Ziyun? Does the prince really have a destiny?"
King Lu's eyes turned bright red, and she still refused to address him as Emperor Qitai. He only addressed him as Prince, which showed his unwillingness.
"Your Majesty, there is a destiny, but it has not been determined yet."
Xie Chengdong smiled as he spoke, and King Lu was a little confused: "Why do you say that? Is there still a big chaos?"
"Your Majesty, you are the Demon Emperor. Do you want someone to share your power in the world?" Xie Chengdong said, and King Lu frowned: "Of course I don't want to."
Xie Chengdong smiled: "In this case, the prince and Pei Ziyun may not be in harmony. Although we are separated, we still have feelings. Pei Ziyun may not have a good death."
King Lu thought for a while and nodded: "Yes, Pei Ziyun is the prince's lucky star, but this person is still too powerful to overthrow the country, and the prince may not be able to tolerate him."
As he spoke, his face darkened again: "It's far away, what should we do now?"
"Your Majesty, at present, we must seize all the powers of the Demon Emperor to have a future. To seize the powers, we can only kill Pei Ziyun."
"We can no longer win this game in Jinzhou." Xie Chengdong looked solemn. King Lu's eyelids twitched and his heart sank: "I would like to hear the details."
"Your Majesty has great talent and strategy. You should know that even with the blood sacrifice, the demon army is not endless - there are not many demon souls that can possess people."
"Originally, to conquer the world, only demon soldiers and demon generals can drive ten times and a hundred times the number of humans to achieve success. After His Majesty's truth was revealed, the road to the dragon battle was basically cut off."
Seeing King Lu's face ashen, Xie Chengdong said calmly, "In that case, why don't you jump out?"
Jump out? Lu Wangben was furious. Hearing this, he was startled. His body trembled slightly. He intuitively felt his chance. Originally he was just dealing with Pei Ziyun, but he didn't expect Xie Chengdong to point out a new way.
"What do you mean?" King Lu said, his voice trembling.
"Your Highness, you are no longer King Lu of the human race. You are now the Demon Emperor. Although your body cannot live forever, you are with the Demon Clan. As long as the Demon Clan is prosperous, you will not only live forever in the state of a god, but you can also spend a lot of money. Reincarnate, if the demon clan rules the world, you can become a god in the flesh and rule the world - this game of chess has just begun, so why bother with one place and a temporary loss?"
King Lu was startled. He was a talented man. He actually knew that his days were short, and he was very depressed. Then his eyes gradually lit up after hearing this: "Yes, I am no longer a human being. I am the Demon Emperor. I have only a long time to come. Why do I have to do this?" Compete with a powerful enemy?"
"In the hundreds of years of the dynasty, many British kings have fallen into the underworld and cannot escape, but I am the Demon Emperor, but I can be reincarnated as a human again. Can't I be the son of destiny in the next troubled times?" King Lu said, and couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Chengdong knew in his heart that things were not that simple. When Daojun came out, Daojun's path became increasingly difficult.
Without the knowledge of reincarnation, one must lose all previous identities in reincarnation.
All of this is to maintain balance. I am afraid that the reincarnation of the Demon Emperor will only have one chance. He did not say anything at the moment, but bowed: "Congratulations to the emperor for your enlightenment. However, the premise of all this is that Pei Ziyun must be strangled."
"I understand that as long as I can kill Pei Ziyun and seize all authority, I will be the true Demon King and I can play chess forever."
"For this goal, everything I have now, including these five thousand demon army, can be sacrificed." Having said this, King Lu was very excited: "Xie Qing, your plan was good last time. Let's lure the snake out of the hole."
Xie Chengdong smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, there is one more trick that can be used. Let's say that Pei Ziyun has received the destiny to kill the demon clan. As long as this continues, he will be able to quickly break through the obstacles to practice and achieve an indestructible body. When the dragon's energy is completely destroyed, If you don't fight against them, it will be difficult to kill them."
"Now the conflict between the imperial court and Pei Ziyun has intensified. Sooner or later, if this rumor spreads, do you think the imperial court will still tolerate Pei Ziyun?"
"Definitely not allowed." King Lu applauded: "Xie Qing, you are truly an unparalleled warrior. Once these two strategies come out, Pei Ziyun has great power, and I am afraid there is nothing he can do."
Then he asked hesitantly: "Is it true what you said?"
Xie Chengdong bowed: "This is just a guess, but you see, Pei Ziyun has made such rapid progress that in less than ten years he will be able to cast iron into copper and become a Dao Lord. This is a speed that even Dao Lords did not have back then."
"There must be a reason for this. Resisting our demon clan may really be this son's destiny."
"So, this is not completely nonsense."
"The most important thing is, whether it is true or not, the court must be confused. This answer is to give the court an answer - the court has to believe it even if it doesn't believe it."
"When the time comes, the imperial court would rather sacrifice thousands of troops than put Pei Ziyun to death."
"You are right, just follow this plan and release the bait." King Lu said, a light flashed in his eyes, and he murmured: "In that case, let me take a gamble."
He raised his hand and said, "The reincarnation platform listens to my orders."
The reincarnation platform immediately shook, waves of demonic energy spread, and the blood mist filled the blood pool.
"Roar"
The statues were quickly moistened by the blood mist, and they lined up one by one and gradually came to life.
"With my authority, I will not hesitate to catalyze, and a group of demon armies can be produced in a short period of time. Pei Ziyun can be beaten by then, and victory is in sight."
"Your Majesty is wise." Xie Chengdong saluted, but after saying that King Lu could not stay for long, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared over the blessed land.
Xie Chengdong stood up straight and looked into the distance: "Pei Ziyun, although I am dead, I can see that you die under my plan, which is also my wish."
