If we were to choose the most eye-catching event in Yongtian Kingdom recently, that event would probably not be Yunyang, who made a fortune silently, but Zhaochen, who was about to make a decisive battle.
For Lord Zhaochen's ninth son, Fangyuan, this is also a year of prosperity.
In other words, the past two years can be regarded as the two years of Fangyuan's accumulation. First, he conspired with Yuxi City to seize Fang Lita's territory, and then won some external support when he went to the king's capital to celebrate the New Year. Afterwards, he raised troops to the north and wiped out the entire army of the powerful fifth son.
In the past, Fangyuan was looked down upon by others because of his white and greasy fat, and was treated like a pig and dog. He received a box of swill as a birthday present, and the precious schoolbag he got from his mother was thrown into the pigsty. The walls are covered in insulting graffiti.
In those years, Fang Yuan had been clenching his teeth and enduring it, with a smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face all the time. After being slapped on the left side of the cheek, no one could understand the bitterness in his heart, and the determination to tear everyone into pieces, which was always hidden under the smile.
This year, Fang Yuan finally did it.
When he was wearing armor and standing on the cold wall of the north wind, everyone could only look up to him, only the maid, Magpie, was still standing beside him. Even the lord Zhaochen had no choice but to step back, personally proclaiming him as the son of Zhaochen and the king of the southern border, taking the land he conquered as his fiefdom, and declaring that Fangyuan could inherit the position of lord after he dies, so he begged Fangyuan in a disguised form. Do not continue to fight.
In front of the envoy, Fang Yuan picked up the expensive robe sent by the room with two fingers, and put it on herself.
The robe was too small, and it was tightly worn, and when Fang Yuan moved a little, there was a sound of silk tearing.
So Fang Yuan laughed, took off his robe, and threw it into the fire.
He tore the Lord Zhaochen's will into pieces, threw it from the city wall, and said to the messenger:
"I tried on the clothes, but I couldn't fit them. That's okay, I remember that the Taoist robes my father was wearing were pretty good, so I told him that I will pick them up before the Spring Festival this year."
Of course, everyone knew that even if the robe fit well, Fang Yuan would not want it.
Anyone who knows Zhaochen knows Fangyuan's status in the family. This is different from when Li De was secretly assassinated. Fang Yuan was bullied almost openly. He was the bottom of this small circle. The only mother who loved him was also made things difficult for him.
What Fang Yuan wanted was not for Zhaochen's power to be handed over to him smoothly, and he didn't want to spend another few years or decades waiting for Lord Zhaochen to pass away. What he thought was very simple, he just wanted Lord Zhaochen and those brothers and sisters who bullied him to die without leaving a single one, and he wanted to personally cut off their flesh piece by piece to serve with wine.
The negotiations failed to reach an agreement, and both sides decided to fight the last battle.
Lord Zhaochen, whose eyelids were darkened after knocking out the elixir, regained his spirits, and put on a posture to say that he would personally conquest. He formed an invincible army with the elixir masters he had gathered from all over the Eternal Heaven Kingdom. He said that these people are all living gods, and they have the power of invulnerability. Fangyuan can be destroyed.
There was a voice of agreement below.
Reasonable people used all kinds of connections after going back at night, and began to pass key information such as the city defense map to Fangyuan. They have never seen Fang Yuan, but they know that if they want to continue to maintain their glory and wealth, there is only one way to go.
Of course, the affairs in the north cannot be hidden from Yunyang's secret organization. Before the decisive battle was fought, all kinds of analysis information had already been sent to Shuang. After all, Zhaochen is also Yunyang's neighbor, so he should take good care of the neighbor's affairs.
Shuang sent the information intact to Lide. Lide didn't look at the military comparison between the two sides, but looked at what his eyeliner had seen and heard in Zhaochen, and shook his head silently after a while.
The wealthy family is dilapidated and the road is shabby. Since ancient times, heroes and hegemony have used human lives as stepping stones.
But everything has to be measured. Within this degree, it can be said that war itself has no justice. But once the line is crossed, no matter how much whitewashing there is, there will always be a day when it will be backlashed. Lide tapped his hand on the table twice, and said to Shuang:
"Show these reports to He Yue. Tell him that Fang Yuan didn't call me big brother for nothing. No matter how chaotic Zhao Chen is, Yun Yang will not enter the arena at this time. In addition, let the succubus communicate People from the Ministry contacted Fang Shisan and told her that the next round of military expansion could be carried out, and that there might be wars on the east and north fronts at the same time in the future, let her be prepared."
Frost asked:
"Should He Yue be notified about the military expansion?"
Lied replied:
"Let's talk to Fang Shisan first, it's just an intention. Whether the army can be expanded depends on whether the nearly five million gold coins can create the value it deserves. The company's development momentum is good, and we have money in hand, so we can Proceed to the next round of recruiting. If the development is not as expected, follow the previous plan, regardless of Zhaochen, and give priority to solving Tiancheng's problems."
Shuang flicked the hair on her temples, a smile appeared under the veil, and she replied:
"The little girl understands."
Lid sighed, looked at the ceiling, and thought of many things in a flash. Fang Yuan was a strange person. When Lide met him for the first time, he knew that this person was not a small person running errands at all. He was carrying so much hatred that he was a collection of negative energy. But Fang Yuan is ruthless enough to eat the flesh and drink the blood of his enemies, so he will definitely do something in troubled times.
But that year in the capital, Fang Yuan was also a member of King Xi's conspiracy.
At the most critical moment, he transferred Li De from Tiance Mansion, acquiescing to Xi Wang and others to use Tianyue Mountain's blood energy to break through the national protection formation, intending to turn humans into slaves of the Dragon Clan.
Today's Fangyuan is only one step away from the position of Lord Zhaochen, but no one in this world can judge whether he is a waste or a hero. He can only be said to be king or loser. Everything depends on what kind of result he will end up with.
Lid rested on the back of the chair for a while, when there was another knock on the door. Lide said please come in, and saw the dusty Yun Ye walking in while patting the dust on his body, cupped his hands at Lide, and said:
"My lord, the rebel army may be leaving the Great Barren Mountain."
Lide suddenly opened his eyes, looked at Yun Ye, and asked:
"when?"
Yunye replied:
"I don't know for now. The Anbu side probably hasn't got the news yet. I heard about it when I visited the Yinghua territory. The Lord Yinghua said that Nanyue asked for help from them. Huangyan stationed troops on the border of South Vietnam. I don't know when they will Let’s fight. The news should be more reliable. When I was in Yinghua, I saw their army’s emergency training, and the number was about 20,000.”
Lied nodded and said:
"Understood. You rest for a while, and then go to the royal capital, and meet Umi as much as possible to test his attitude."
