Dayan King City, Royal Palace.

"My dear friends, the Prime Minister's mission to assassinate the new King of Dawu failed, and the identity of the assassin was also found out. Now the Dawu Dynasty has sent a crusade and asked me, Dayan, to pay compensation. What suggestions do you have?"

Wang Yanzhan, a native of Dayan, ascended the throne less than twenty years ago, and was at the age of great ambition. At this time, he was wearing a pale gold royal robe, sitting high on the throne, with a majestic face, scanning the civil and military officials of the dynasty.

His momentum was like the sun rising across the sky, filling the entire hall!

The majesty of the human king cannot be offended!

"What?"

"The Prime Minister sent someone to assassinate the new king of Dawu?"

"When did this happen?"

"How could I not know?!"

After hearing what Yan Zhan said, the officials were immediately shocked and started talking. Their eyes moved to the man in front of the officials who had an indifferent temperament and a profound and far-reaching aura.

Prime Minister Dayan, Zuo Yuran!

They had already known about the death of King Wu Qianxing of Dawu Kingdom.

Moreover, court meetings have been held frequently recently, all of which are discussing how to take advantage of the transition of the old and new thrones of Dawu and the turmoil of the dynasty, to find ways to gain some benefits from Dawu, or to send troops to consume Dawu's national power and reduce some threats from the east.

Unexpectedly, the prime minister kept silent and sent people to assassinate the new king of Dawu.

How can this not surprise them?!

Facing the gazes of the officials, Zuo Yiruan slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the majestic Yan Zhan on the throne, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

The assassination of the new king of Dawu was obviously Yan Zhan's own handiwork.

When he first learned about this incident, he tried to persuade him. After all, this matter was really disgraceful and almost impossible to succeed!

But Yan Zhan didn't listen and insisted on sending people to sneak into the Dawu Dynasty and take action on the day the new king Dawu ascended the throne.

Now that he failed, he put everything on his head!

Is this something a human can do?!

"Ahem..."

Faced with Zuo Zhenran's resentful eyes, Yan Zhan was also a little embarrassed. After all, he did something unethical.

He coughed twice quickly to cover up the abnormality, then he looked at the civil and military officials, waved his hands and said: "I know this matter. After all, the Prime Minister is also thinking about me, Da Yan. You don't need to pay attention to this matter. Let's discuss it first. What should I do?

Let’s deal with the crusade sent by the Dawu Dynasty!”

The officials looked back and nodded.

Yan Zhan said it right. Now that something has happened, it is useless to say more. The most important thing at the moment is how to deal with the aftermath!

"Your Majesty, I wonder what compensation Dawu wants from me, Dayan?"

An old minister stood up and bowed deeply, his words were serious and his eyes were cold.

Although he has an old body, his black hair is thick, his aura is profound, and his cultivation is obviously very high.

There is no weak person in the Dayan Temple, and all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are strong in cultivation!

Yan Zhan glanced at the slogan in his hand, a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, and said lightly: "Ten million top-grade spiritual stones, ten top-grade spiritual weapons, and three eighth-grade elixirs."

The sound fell and the whole hall was silent!

The next moment, all the officials were in an uproar!

"What?!"

"That's too much!"

"How can I, Dayan, agree to such ridiculous compensation?!"

"That's right! Even if we really kill him, King Dawu, I'm afraid it won't be worth so much. What's more, King Dawu is not dead yet, and he dares to open his mouth like this!"

"Your Majesty, Dawu has gone too far to deceive others. We absolutely cannot agree to this matter!"

The ministers spoke one after another with indignant expressions on their faces. They all felt that this sky-high price of compensation was ridiculous.

Ten million top-grade spiritual stones, ten top-grade spiritual weapons, and three eighth-grade elixirs, the total value has exceeded thirty million!

There is no such thing as killing people!

Is this compensation?

This is completely an excuse to deceive everyone in the Yan Dynasty!

Seeing the performance of the officials, Yan Zhan nodded with satisfaction, feeling very pleased.

He immediately shifted his gaze, looked at the old man who was the leader of the generals, and said calmly: "Uncle Wang, what do you mean?"

Dayan established a prime minister and a military marshal, both of whom were strong men in the Hedao realm, and were in charge of the civil and military departments respectively.

Regardless of his cultivation or power, he is at the pinnacle of his generation and is respected by thousands of people.

The patron king, Yan Batian, was brave and good at fighting, and was deeply valued by King Yan. Therefore, he was both the prince and the general marshal of the army. No one in Dayan refused to accept him!

Yan Batian's eyes seemed to be closed, and the old god stood on the ground, as if he was in a leisurely world, without any sign of being in the court, as if the quarrel among the officials had nothing to do with him.

Five long strands of beard hang down under his chin, his face is calm and calm, his hands are clasped behind his back, and he is extremely leisurely.

Hearing Yan Zhan's inquiry, he suddenly opened his eyes, and an iron-blooded evil spirit flashed from his eyes. He took a step forward. In an instant, the whole hall was silent, and there was no sound.

Everyone looked at this figure with reverence, conviction, and solemnity in their eyes.

Yan Batian glanced at the civil and military officials of the court, and immediately bowed to Yan Zhan. He did not answer, but said a piece of news that made everyone change their minds: "Yesterday, news came from the border that Dawu Xibohou Li Yuanlong led a million-strong army to the west.

Go out of Yanmen and Baiyun Pass to station troops on our border."

"What?!"

All the officials were immediately shocked.

Even Yan Zhan changed his color slightly.

Li Yuanlong!

In the entire Great Yan Dynasty, no one does not know this name!

Although the Great War God has only returned to the realm of virtual reality, his military skills are unrivaled by anyone in the entire Great Yan Army!

In the past hundred years, there have been frequent frictions on the border between Dayan and Dawu, but Li Yuanlong has never taken advantage of him. Even if his backer, King Yan Batian, went there in person, he always came back defeated!

Now that they heard that he was leading troops to the west again, how could everyone not be surprised?!

"What does he mean by stationing troops on our border?!"

An old minister frowned and said.

"Do you still need to say it? This is putting pressure on me, Dayan!"

"Hmph! Let's fight! If you want compensation from me, Dayan, don't even think about it!"

"Exactly! As soon as Xiu Wen sent me Dayan, he put pressure on me Dayan. Are you trying to force me Dayan to submit?"

"Do you really think that I, Dayan, am afraid of him?!"

Hundreds of officials came forward one after another, with angry expressions on their faces, and a terrifying aura enveloped the hall, which was extremely frightening.

"Okay, stop it all!"

Yan Zhan was impatient, frowned, and ordered everyone to retreat. Then he looked at Yan Batian and said, "Uncle Wang, now that the Dawu Dynasty has reacted, how do you think I, Da Yan, should respond?"

"Your Majesty, according to the reports of the spies placed in Dawu, after the new king of Dawu succeeded to the throne, he successively killed hundreds of officials who participated in the palace coup. Now there is an undercurrent within Dawu, and even the famous families have joined forces to join forces. Now

On the surface, Dawu is strong, but in fact there are many hidden dangers inside, and civil strife may break out at any time."

Yan Batian stepped forward and said calmly.

"What? There is such a thing?"

All the officials looked at each other with great joy.

Only Yan Zhan's expression remained normal. As a human king, he naturally already knew the news.

He looked at Yan Batian and continued: "So, the reason why Dawu stationed troops on our border was just to express his stance to our country?"

Yan Batian nodded: "Li Yuanlong led his troops to the west and demanded such a high price of compensation. This was not only to express his dissatisfaction with the assassination of the new king of Dawu, but also to guard against our government, fearing that we would take the opportunity to send troops to attack Dawu."

"Perhaps it won't be long before Dawu will lower the amount of compensation and send it to my court again!"

Speaking of this, a hint of sarcasm and disdain appeared in Yan Batian's eyes.

First the lion opened its mouth, then it stationed troops to express its strong attitude, and finally saw that the exorbitant price was demanded to no avail, and then the compensation was reduced.

This is a common trick used by various dynasties, but it has never worked!

Yan Zhan nodded slightly: "In Uncle Wang's opinion, how should I, Great Yan, deal with it?"

"No need to compensate for anything, no need to pay attention to it!"

"As for Li Yuanlong, I will personally lead the troops to the border and meet him for a while!"

Yan Batian spoke calmly, but there was a fascinating gleam of fighting spirit in his eyes.

Twenty years ago, there was a battle for territory at the border. He led troops to the border and fought with Li Yuanlong, but was forced back by his military formation. The army returned with feathers, and eventually the territory fell into the hands of Da Wu. This was a lifelong shame for him.

!

This time, he must avenge his shame!

"Okay! Just follow Uncle Wang's words!"

Yan Zhan stood up and said: "I will give you the military talisman, and I will also deploy millions of troops to station troops at the border. However, Uncle Wang must remember that you can express your strength, but you can't have too big a dispute, so as not to cause a national war!"

Yan Zhan's face was extremely serious.

In the past thousand years, the six dynasties have coexisted. There have been frictions and small battles, but there has never been any major war.

Otherwise, once a national war breaks out, it will end in a fight to the death.

Despite the current civil strife in Dawu, the underlying truth is still there.

If a national war breaks out, even if Great Yan wins in the end, the losses will be extremely heavy.

At that time, other dynasties will not miss this excellent opportunity. If they are not careful, Dayan will be annexed by other dynasties!

No one can afford this kind of result!

Therefore, it is okay to have a small fight, but a national war will never easily occur and change the situation in the Eastern Wasteland. This is a tacit understanding formed between the major dynasties!

Naturally, Yan Batian understood the seriousness of the matter. His face straightened slightly, he nodded and said, "My lord, I understand!"

After saying that, he turned around and left directly.

Yan Zhan sat on the throne, turned his head to look in the direction of Da Wu, with a trace of disdain on his lips, and chuckled: "Young kid with a yellow mouth, you have a big appetite, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat it..."

…

Dawu Dynasty, Jingzhao Mansion.

royal palace.

"Auntie, seventh brother, why are you here?"

In the palace, Wu Sifan looked at the graceful Concubine Shu and Wu Ji, who looked like a young man, and felt a little happy.

After ascending the throne, Concubine Shu and Wu Ji may have known that they had been busy with government affairs since they ascended the throne and had not visited them for a long time.

Now that he has come, Wu Sifan is extremely happy.

After all, he could feel that Concubine Shu and Wu Ji cared about and were close to him from the bottom of their hearts.

These are the only two people in this world that he can feel close to.

"Big...meet the king!"

Concubine Shu also showed joy on her face. She was about to speak when she suddenly remembered Wu Sifan's current status. As soon as she spoke, she took it back and saluted Wu Sifan.

Wu Ji's expression also froze, and he bowed somewhat unnaturally.

Wu Sifan quickly helped the two of them up, shook his head and said: "Auntie, seventh brother, when there are no outsiders in the future, you don't have to be so polite. Although I have ascended the throne, you are still my relatives."

After hearing this, the two people's expressions softened slightly, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "Etiquette cannot be abolished. After all, Your Majesty, you are now King Wu. If others look at it, those ministers may want to impeach you for not following etiquette and law."

Wu Sifan snorted coldly and said: "Who dares?! I dare to kill even the prime minister and the prince. Now if they are honest and obedient, it will be fine. If they dare to do any small tricks, do they still want to try my sword skills?!

"

At this moment, Concubine Shu seemed to see the shadow of the late king in Wu Sifan. She remembered that when the late king was in power, he was also so domineering and majestic...

Concubine Shu looked pleased and said, "Da Lang has become more like a king."

Wu Sifan smiled slightly and said, "But in front of you and seventh brother, I will always be the Da Lang in your memories."

Concubine Shu also smiled, completely relieved.

"Seventh brother, how have you been practicing lately?"

Wu Sifan looked at Wu Ji and asked with a smile.

Having said that, with the Eye of Truth existing, Wu Sifan could naturally see Wu Ji's current state at a glance.

The third level of Jindan realm!

Wu Sifan couldn't help but secretly lament that he was able to practice so quickly because of the "Human Emperor Heavenly Emperor Sutra", the five elements' top-grade spiritual roots, the Human Emperor's body and many other advantages.

But not long after Wu Ji gathered the golden elixir, he actually reached the third level of the golden elixir realm. He was only one step away from entering the middle stage of the golden elixir. What a monster this is!

"Brother Wang, I have already stabilized at the early stage of the Golden Elixir. I don't need to pay more to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Elixir."

When mentioning his cultivation, Wu Ji replied with some pride, looking at Wu Sifan expectantly, like a child looking forward to praise from his parents.

Wu Sifan couldn't help but smile, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well done! Keep up the good work. When you reach the crown, Brother Wang will personally crown you, make you king, and lead the troops to fight!"

Wu Jike was different from his previous incarnation. He had loved the art of war since he was a child. The person he admired the most was Li Yuanlong, the Xibohou who guarded Yanmen Pass. He once determined to wear armor and go into battle when he grew up. At that time, his original incarnation still laughed at his stupidity.

, overestimating one's abilities, who would have known that the original person is the biggest fool...

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Thank you, Brother Wang, I will definitely work hard!"

Wu Ji nodded solemnly and said.

In the Dawu Dynasty, a coronation ceremony could be held at the age of fifteen, which was equivalent to a coming-of-age ceremony.

He is now thirteen years old, and there are still two years left before the coronation ceremony can be held!

Wu Sifan smiled slightly, then touched the Qiankun Ring in his hand, took out a bottle of elixir and a shiny silver spear, handed it to Wu Ji, and said: "Take it!"

"This is?"

As soon as Wu Ji saw the spear, he couldn't move his eyes away. On top of the spear, he saw the light flashing and the aura breathtaking. He knew it was something extraordinary at a glance.

"This is the Golden Source Pill. As for this spear, it's called Thunder. It's a top-quality spiritual weapon. It's all for you. Take it and practice well!"

Wu Sifan smiled.

"this……"

Wu Ji was startled, and immediately did not dare to take it: "Brother Wang, this is too expensive, I..."

Concubine Shu was also a little surprised and said quickly: "Da Lang, these things are too valuable, you yourself..."

Wu Sifan waved his hand to interrupt and said: "Don't worry, aunt, there are plenty of these things. Take it, seventh brother!"

"this……"

He was clearly swallowing his saliva secretly, but Wu Ji still didn't dare to reach out.

Wu Sifan was a little impatient and pretended to be angry: "Take it as long as I tell you, there is so much nonsense."

"I... thank you so much, Brother Wang!"

Seeing Wu Sifan getting angry, Wu Ji stopped refusing and immediately took the jade bottle and spear, holding them in his hands and playing with them fondly.

Wu Sifan then smiled.

He didn't lie. Although the Golden Source Pill, which can help the Golden Pill Realm monks practice, and the top-grade spiritual weapons are precious, he does have a lot of them. They were all obtained by signing in during this period.

These things were valuable in the Dawu Dynasty and even in the entire Eastern Barren Continent, but in the system's rating, they were only at the bronze level.

Not to mention anything else, he now has four of these top-quality spiritual weapons in his Qiankun Ring, and there are also many more precious elixirs than this Golden Source Pill.

Today, he can be called a walking treasure trove!

"Auntie, this is for you."

After Wu Ji was arranged, Wu Sifan took out a lot of things and handed them to Concubine Shu, some of which were for beauty and beauty, and some for improving her cultivation.

Concubine Shu could not refuse, but she could only accept them one by one, but she felt even more pleased and moved in her heart.

The family sat together and chatted for a long time.

It wasn't until the sky got darker that Concubine Shu said with some hesitation: "Da Lang, actually, my aunt came here this time for one more thing."

Wu Sifan smiled and said, "Auntie, please speak."

Concubine Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "Auntie is here for your fourth brother."

"Fourth brother?"

Wu Sifan frowned.

If Concubine Shu didn't mention the fourth prince Wu Hong, Wu Sifan would almost forget about his fourth brother.

This fourth prince has always had the lowest sense of presence among all the princes.

Because the power behind him is weak and his talent is not too high, he acts very low-key, never offends anyone, and has nothing to do with his predecessor.

Even when he ascended the throne, he stayed in the palace honestly and never made any small moves.

But this time he suddenly asked Concubine Shu to come to him, but he didn’t know why?

Wu Sifan nodded and said: "Auntie, tell me, why did Wu Hong ask you to find me?"

Seeing that Wu Sifan was not unhappy, Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Didn't there be a rebellion in Nanzhou recently? Even the Xiao family of Lingnan Prefecture and many other big families participated in the rebellion."

"The Song family, where your fourth brother's mother-in-law lives, was recently suppressed by the rebels because they did not want to join forces with the Liang family, Xiao family and other aristocratic families."

"And according to what the minister said, although you, Dalang, ordered troops to surround Zhenyaoguan and Lingnan and other places, you have never had the intention to attack, so your fourth brother is a little worried..."

Hearing this, Wu Sifan immediately understood.

The Song family where Wu Hong's mother and concubine belonged was a powerful family in Lingnan Mansion. However, because its background was too shallow, its strength could not be compared with other old-school aristocratic families. Even with Wu Hong's connections, they could barely squeeze into the top five of Lingnan Mansion.

Not even in the top three.

This time, the Lingnan Xiao family and many other aristocratic families participated in the rebellion. Wu Sifan originally thought that the Song family might also be complicit, so he directly sent a large army to surround the Zhenyao Pass and the Lingnan area in order to block the retreat of the Yinshen Sect.

Unexpectedly, the Song family was still resisting.

After pondering for a moment, Wu Sifan looked at Concubine Shu and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know what to do."

Hearing this, Concubine Shu nodded slightly and said, "Although your fourth brother has never been close to us before, he did not add insult to injury when we were having a hard time. If it is not difficult, you can help him, Da Lang."

Wu Sifan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Auntie."

Concubine Shu smiled and nodded, and said, "Then I won't disturb your rest."

After saying that, she got up and left with Wu Ji.

Wu Sifan returned to the palace, pondered for a moment, looked out the door and shouted: "Come here! Prince Xuan is here to see me."

"promise!"

The Xuanjia army outside the door took orders and left.

Soon, following the sound of footsteps, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in fine clothes walked in from outside. He had a delicate appearance and seemed a little restrained.

It is none other than the Fourth Prince, Wu Hong!

As soon as he entered the palace, Wu Hong did not dare to raise his head and bowed his head: "Wu Hong pays homage to the king."

"Get up."

Wu Sifan waved his hand lightly, looked at Wu Hong, and said, "Fourth brother, long time no see."

Wu Hong then raised his head and glanced slightly. When he saw the majestic figure wearing royal robes in front of him, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

Thinking of the past playboy who was bullied and hated by others, he could not imagine that one day he, the brother, would become the king of the Dawu Dynasty!

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart, Wu Ji saluted again and said: "Brother Wang is well."

Wu Sifan nodded lightly and said: "Fourth brother, my aunt has told me about your matter. It is indeed my order to send troops to surround Lingnan and Zhenyaoguan."

Wu Hong bowed respectfully and said: "Brother Wang, my grandfather's family is loyal to me, Da Wu, but now facing the persecution of the Xiao family and other Lingnan aristocratic families, they have no retreat and are in danger. Please ask Brother Wang to make a decree to let

Let the army surrounding Lingnan let them out."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wu Sifan nodded. When he sent troops to surround Lingnan, he issued a death order not to let anyone out of the border to avoid being mixed in by the Yinshen Cult and causing unrest.

, I didn’t expect that I neglected this matter.

He looked at Wu Hong and said: "Fourth brother, this matter is not urgent. I will give you an opportunity to make contributions and help the Song family rise. It depends on whether you can grasp it."

Wu Hong was slightly startled, then nodded and said: "Brother Wang, please tell me."

Wu Sifan said calmly: "You can send a message to the Song family, asking them to temporarily surrender to the Xiao family, infiltrate into the rebels, and resist the beast tide with the Yin Shen Sect. If successful, we will repel the beast tide and destroy the Yin Shen Sect.

Later, the Song family became the number one family in Nanzhou. However, due to the characteristics of the Yin Shen Cult's exercises, this move may be dangerous. Whether you do it or not is up to you to consider."

Hearing this, Wu Hong suddenly fell silent.

He understood what Wu Sifan meant.

Wu Sifan used the Yinshen Sect to block the tide of monsters, originally intending to make them both lose. However, the monsters are so powerful that if the Yinshen Sect cannot stop them, they will most likely choose to retreat and turn their targets to the Dawu Dynasty behind them.

Now the Song family is allowed to join the rebel camp. Firstly, it is to enhance the strength of the Yinshen Sect and allow them to better resist the beast tide. Secondly, it may be able to play some key roles when the Yinshen Sect cannot stop it and chooses to retreat.

effect.

After all, if you know yourself and the enemy, you can win a hundred battles. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must understand the enemy better.

But due to the characteristics of the Yin Shen Sect's skills, if you want to understand them, you have to join the Yin Shen Sect. The big families on the border are not infected because of special circumstances. Otherwise, they may have become part of the Yin Shen Sect.

Member.

Therefore, the danger of letting the Song family join the rebels and mix with the Yin Shen Cult needs no further explanation!

Wu Hong was very confused.

But after pondering for a moment, his eyes suddenly became extremely firm. He looked up at Wu Sifan and said, "Brother Wang, I am willing to go to the border in person, join the Song family, join the rebels, and find out information about the Yinshen Cult!"

Hearing this, Wu Sifan suddenly looked at Wu Hong with some surprise.
