At this time, in the magnificent palace hall of the Northern Dynasty royal family, a man wearing a crown and a bright yellow robe was sitting behind the desk.
In front of him, a guard was reporting something to him.
Soon, he waved his hand with a gloomy face, told the guard to retreat, and ordered him to call the general who defended the city from the capital.
This person is Yongxiang, the leader of the Northern Dynasty. Since the Southern Dynasty suddenly sent troops to capture the entire territory of Dilou Kingdom, he has had trouble sleeping and eating. This morning, the city guard general of the capital reported that the Nanjun Mansion of the rampant Kingdom was "annihilated" at night.
After hearing this, he became even more frightened and uneasy.
Yongxiang secretly thought that this must be the work of the Southern Dynasty. After the Southern Dynasty solved its worries, it could free up its hands to deal with the Northern Dynasty with all its strength.
Originally, Yongxiang had planned with Guo Feng to send people to the Ailou Kingdom to persuade its ruler to attack the Southern Dynasty from the south, forming a two-sided attack with the Northern Dynasty. After the event was completed, the south of the Qingyue Mountains, including the Qingyue Mountains, was all classified as Ailou.
Lou State.
However, the Ailou Kingdom stalled their attack near the Qingyue Mountains, saying that they would not launch a general offensive until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the next year.
The same thing happened here with Guo Feng, who decided to attack the Southern Dynasty from the north on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, saying there was no need to worry, the destruction of the Southern Dynasty was a certainty, and everyone would have a good year.
Not long after the year, the situation suddenly changed, and news suddenly came from the south that the million-strong army from the Ai Lou Kingdom that entered the Southern Dynasty disappeared overnight. Guo Feng immediately canceled the original plan and prepared to wait and see what happened before deciding on the next move.
Now that Guo Feng has been beheaded, the next commander-in-chief of the Southern Army of the Rampant Kingdom has not yet arrived. For a while, Yongxiang was a little confused.
In fact, Yongxiang was not interested in destroying the Southern Dynasty. As the leader of the country, he was just a puppet, and the territory did not mean much to him.
What he hated most in his heart was Yongze, the leader of the Southern Dynasty. Without this third brother, his crown prince would not have been deposed, and he would not have acted like a wolf in the house, let alone be teased as a puppet.
He wanted to use the Yangyuan Kingdom's army to destroy Yongze and all those who opposed him, but unexpectedly, the news leaked out, allowing Yongze to escape from the capital in advance.
Of course, there is another person who he hates to the core, that is Chu Bao, the military supervisor of the Northern Army. Without this person who killed his brother-in-law Shangguan Bao in the army, the Shangguan family would not have collapsed in an instant, and would have implicated him as the prince.
Deposed.
After Yongxiang was deposed, the title of Duke Xiang continued to be retained, and he still had some power in his hands. Moreover, he maintained secret contact with the Geshan faction. Therefore, the investigation of Chu Bao's origin and background was never interrupted.
When he learned that Chu Bao had been in close contact with Fan Qishan, the owner of "Huashengyuan" before he became the military supervisor, and had also stood up for him and killed Zhan Yun, the deputy head of the Geshan faction, Yongxiang immediately sent people to target him.
Fan Qishan.
After Yongxiang ascended the throne, he immediately contacted Ding Haodong, the owner of "Wanqitang", and set up a scheme to "buy" Fan Qishan's "Huashengyuan". His main purpose was to force Chu Bao out, but he never came forward.
In the past two years, Yongxiang has been searching for Chu Bao's whereabouts, but he can't find him no matter what. He seems to have disappeared from the world.
Only a man named Chu Guan was found, who had appeared in Anhua City of Xia Su State. This man used the same "Shocking Dragon Sword" as Chu Bao, but this man was also a dragon, and there was no trace of him in the past two years.
.
"Your Majesty, your minister Dou Di has come to see you with an imperial edict."
At this time, a voice came, and then a general in military uniform came in. It was Dou Di, the general in charge of the capital of the Northern Dynasty, whose martial arts had reached the level of a military commander.
"Oh, please sit down, General Dou. How is the investigation on the destruction of the Mansion?"
"Your Majesty, in cooperation with friendly forces, I have sent people to search every corner of the capital, and no one has been found acting suspiciously," Dou Di replied.
"Oh, as expected, those people came well prepared and they are all masters. How could they leave any traces?" Yongxiang said.
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. There are at least ten people at the level of military commanders in the Nanjun Mansion. Commander Guo himself is already at the level of King Wu. If someone from the other side can kill him in one fell swoop, I estimate that at least twenty military commanders will be mobilized.
level, and at least two Martial Kings." Dou Di analyzed.
"Oh, according to General Dou's intention, which force can dispatch so many strong men at once? It is impossible with the existing strength of the Southern Dynasty." Yongxiang said.
"Your Majesty, I think it was Qingqiu Palace. Apart from Qingqiu Palace and Xianwu Palace, no other force in Jishui Kingdom can dispatch so many masters at once, and Qingqiu Palace is our hostile force." Dou
Dee said.
"Well, that makes sense! General Dou, you have worked hard today, so you can stay in the palace. There happens to be a place in my bedroom, so you can sleep there!" Yongxiang said.
Hearing this, Dou Di suddenly understood. Yongxiang talked for a long time, and the last sentence was the key point he wanted to say. It turned out that he was afraid that he would make the same mistake again tonight and have a "family extermination" incident, so he asked himself to be the bodyguard.
Dou Di did not dare to refuse, so he bowed to receive the order and thanked him.
In the Qingqiu Mountains of Jishui Kingdom, in the meeting hall of Qingqiu Palace, sitting at the top is a beautiful lady, who is Qing Yue, the master of Qingqiu Palace.
All the elders in the palace, including the great elder Qiu Jianfeng, were present. Below stood a beautiful and cold-faced woman, Leng Han, who had just returned to the palace.
It turned out that an "accountability meeting" was being held in Qingqiu Palace, and the object of accountability was none other than Leng Han, the elder of the outer sect who had led the team to the Qingyue Sect for reinforcements earlier.
At this time, Great Elder Qiu Jianfeng said:
"Leng Han, tell me everything you have done in Qingyue Sect in the past two years!"
Qiu Jianfeng deliberately focused on the words "what she did". It seemed like she was asking for accountability, but in fact, she was asking her to show her merit.
Leng Han understood the idea, so he listed everything she had done in the Qingyue Sect in the past two years, focusing on her leading the Qingqiu Palace disciples and fighting bloody battles to restore the decline of the Southern Dynasty. Many of the elders present expressed their appreciation.
gaze.
After finishing the narration, Leng Han stood there quietly, waiting for the Palace Master's statement, while Qiu Jianfeng nodded slightly in approval.
At this time, Qing Yue said in a deep voice:
"Elder Leng Han, you are not unaware of the past performance of the branch sect. You should tell us about the recent conflict between you and the leader of the Qing Wuyan sect!"
Hearing this, Leng Han felt nervous and told the whole story in detail, but did not tell her about her bad attitude towards Gongsun Yan.
Seeing that she was avoiding the important and taking the easy, Qing Yue asked directly:
"Elder Leng, why was Sect Leader Qing angry at that time?"
"Oh, it's...his subordinate didn't act according to his wishes." Leng Han said softly.
"Why don't you act according to his wishes? Before you left, didn't the palace tell you to go to Qingyue Sect and follow the orders of Master Qing Wuyan?" Qingyue asked sharply.
