Chapter 278 Eight Hundred Miles Hurry, Cold Killing Intent
Bai Yujing.
Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the Jinmeng Empire have agreed to the marriage of Princess Lanyue, but they require that they take Princess Lanyue back to the Jinmeng Empire within two days."
Taishi Yan Hongwen reported the situation here to the old emperor Yang Yu.
The old emperor specifically handed over the marriage matter to Grand Master Yan Hongwen, and the order he gave was not to complete the marriage quickly, but to drag the Jinmeng Empire with him.
When Grand Master Yan Hongwen heard the news, he thought he had heard it wrong. After confirming it again, he realized that this was the will of the old emperor Yang Yu.
Although it was strange why the old emperor acted like this, he directly followed Yang Yu's orders. He knew how deep the old emperor was hiding.
After a prince's rebellion, the old emperor Yang Yu eliminated many evil-minded forces, once again consolidated his imperial power, and also made some wavering courtiers turn to the old emperor again.
All the major sects suffered heavy losses during this rebellion, and they suffered a huge loss.
It seems that the royal family also paid a heavy price, but in fact it had no impact on the old emperor Yang Yu at all. Those who were pushed out were all the people he wanted to kill.
In addition, those families who confiscated and exterminated their families made the emperor's inner treasury even more full, and even replenished many things that the old emperor needed.
He knew a secret news. The old emperor was arranging for people to refine the Earthly Holy Pill again. It was obvious that he was preparing for a breakthrough again. However, no one knew the specific location of the pill, and he did not dare to check more.
Lest disaster happen to him.
Because he knew some news, he was naturally puzzled by the behavior of the old emperor Yang Yu. Under normal circumstances, he should have completed the marriage and delayed it for a while.
Although the Jinmeng Empire's attitude toward marriage is not clear, given more time, a breakthrough can be made more confidently.
Yan Hongwen knew this, but he did not ask about it. Instead, he acted according to the arrangements of the old emperor Yang Yu.
With his official position reaching such a high level, he also knew how to protect himself wisely. He was targeting the major sects of the Zhou Dynasty, but not the old emperor Yang Yu, otherwise his official position would have been replaced by someone else.
"Promise them, but let the guards of Jinyun City in Lanzhou prepare to be ready for attacks from the Jinmeng Empire at any time, and also let some soldiers from Qizhou and Yuzhou be transferred to Jinyun City."
"The news was sent out immediately, and the sects in Lanzhou, Qizhou, and Yuzhou were also prepared to send out their disciples."
Yang Yu once again revealed some news, but these news were even more puzzling.
At this time, Yan Hongwen was like this. He was sure in his heart that the old emperor Yang Yu must have received news about the Jinmeng Empire, even bad news, otherwise he would not have made such arrangements.
Jinyun City in Lanzhou is the border area between the Jinmeng Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is guarded by a large army, and there is also the existence of the sect Qianqiu Pavilion. Unlike other states, Qianqiu Pavilion in Lanzhou does not have the same status.
To the extent that he monopolizes a state, he and the guarding army are half as good as one person. At the same time, due to the intrusion of the Jinmeng Empire, the relationship between the two parties is naturally much harmonious.
With the presence of foreign aggression, there will naturally be less nasties. After all, if Lanzhou is captured, it will not be of any benefit to them.
"Your Majesty, does it need to go to this point?"
After thinking about it, Yan Hongwen decided to test the situation. As the Grand Master of the Zhou Dynasty, he should naturally test the situation.
"I have a very bad feeling. This behavior is just a precaution, not a real war."
"The purpose of the Jinmeng Empire's visit to the Zhou Dynasty this time is not simple. It is better to make more preparations to avoid being caught off guard."
The old emperor Yang Yu did not give specific information, but he also gave some information.
There was even a vertical line between his eyebrows, obviously he was worried about something.
"Wei Chen understands and will work hard to send the news to Lanzhou, Qizhou, Yuzhou and other places."
"But from the major sects, please ask your Majesty to arrange for others to be sent there."
Yan Hongwen knew the seriousness of the matter, so he naturally sent a personal letter to the various states and territories, but naturally it was not suitable for the major sects.
The relationship between him and the sects is antagonistic. If he sends the letter to the sects, the major sects will think that he is asking them to die. In the end, it may even affect the plans of the old emperor Yang Yu.
Yan Hongwen knew this clearly, so he raised it directly.
"Don't worry about the sect. I have arranged for someone to deliver the letter."
The old emperor Yang Yu slowly spoke.
Only then did Yan Hongwen notice that there was a dark shadow in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It was obvious that what the old emperor Yang Yu just said was not to him, but to that dark shadow.
"Wei Chen understands, let's make arrangements now."
"Wei Chen resigns!"
Yan Hongwen bowed and saluted, and then exited the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
After a while, the person disappeared from Yang Yu's sight.
At the same time, the black shadow also disappeared.
Quietness returned to the entire hall.
"Leave in two days. It seems you finally couldn't help but test me."
The old emperor Yang Yu's eyes were deep and cold at this time, and even contained murderous intent. This murderous intent was even more powerful than when he faced the rebellion of Prince Yang Gan and others.
"There is still one step left, and it is very difficult to get over this step."
"Ancestor can only attack once at most, I must break through as soon as possible."
The old emperor Yang Yu took a deep breath at this time, and then said slowly.
He knew clearly that the purpose of this marriage in the Jinmeng Empire was to test whether the Zhenguo Martial Saint of the Great Zhou Dynasty was still alive. In the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, very few people knew the news.
Even Yan Hongwen, as the grand master, did not know the news at all, and therefore did not guess the Jinmeng Empire and his actions.
In the eyes of many people, the Zhenguo Martial Saint of the Zhou Dynasty has been in seclusion, and naturally they would not think of his situation.
The Jinmeng Empire knows some information, that is, it is the Zhenguo Martial Saint from the Jinmeng Empire, and only masters of this level can know some situations.
"The Zhou Dynasty can only have the surname Yang, but not other surnames."
Yang Yu's eyes were firm, and he had already prepared for the worst.
Even if the two countries went to war, he could not let the Jinmeng Empire find out the situation of the Zhou Dynasty's Martial Saint. His firm and unchanging attitude was a good disguise.
Only when you are confident will you take a tough stance and not give any room for relaxation, and will you keep dragging it out.
The same is true for the Jinmeng Empire. The situation cannot be investigated and it is difficult to end the investigation, so naturally the marriage continues.
This was also the longest-lasting marriage negotiation between the Jinmeng Empire and the Great Zhou Dynasty, which surprised many people but did not understand the mystery.

After the old emperor Yang Yu finished speaking, he continued to practice with his eyes closed to adjust his body to the best state, because he asked Lu Qianfan, the leader of the Medicine Master Alliance, to help refine the Earth Origin Supreme Holy Pill so that he could try to break through again.
