Just when the Kashima envoy met with Yu Xie and others, Zhao Gao also came to Shengran City.
"It's you!"
In a teahouse, the messenger in snow clothes suddenly became wary when he saw Zhao Gao.
Just now, she suddenly received a token from Wu Sheng, and someone asked her to meet in the teahouse here.
This surprised her, but she still came to the appointment with great expectations.
But it was obvious that she was disappointed with the results in front of her.
Zhao Gao sat at the tea table with a calm expression, taking up the tea and sipping it calmly.
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Xue Yi looked at him nervously.
She was in awe of the mysterious existence of Zhao Gao.
Back in Fushan City, she had witnessed with her own eyes the process by which Zhao Gao and three others surrounded and killed Nan Jixian.
Before, she also collected information about Zhao Gao and others in Fushan City, but unfortunately she did not have any information about Zhao Gao.
At that time, Zhao Gao and Yuan Tiangang had already left Fushan City, and Ye Gucheng was living in seclusion in the Qin family. She had inquired about it for a long time, but she only knew something about the Qin family and the government office, and did not know the relationship between Zhao Gao and others and the Qin family.
Staring at Zhao Gao, Xue Yi had the urge to leave, but thinking that this was Shengran City, she relaxed a little.
She sat opposite Zhao Gao and said with a frosty face: "What is your relationship with Wu Sheng?"
Zhao Gaodao: "The general is the one we support!"
"What do you mean?" Xue Yiyi frowned.
Zhao Gaodao: "The overthrow of the Luofu Dynasty is imminent, and the dynasty will definitely change here. We need someone to become the new emperor, and the general is the most suitable!"
Naturally, he made this up. There must be a civil strife within the Sheng Dynasty, and this civil strife was what Qin Wei wanted to take advantage of.
"Let Wu Sheng be the emperor!" Xue Yi's pupils suddenly shrank.
She looked at Zhao Gao with a shocked expression, but her heart was full of thoughts.
"Impossible! Wu Sheng can't be the emperor!"
"What's impossible?"
"He won't do it!" the snow-clothed emissary said with certainty.
She understands Wu Sheng and knows that Wu Sheng is not a person who is greedy for power. In fact, she also knows what Wu Sheng really can't let go of, so she never lets go of Wu Sheng.
"It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to. Even if he doesn't want to, we will make him emperor!" Zhao Gao said calmly.
"You guys~~"
The snow-clothed envoy stared straight at Zhao Gao, his snow-white eyes seeming to see right through Zhao Gao.
It's a pity that Zhao Gao's face was extremely dull and devoid of any emotion, so she couldn't see anything.
She couldn't confirm whether Zhao Gao's words were true or false, but she knew it was possible.
Not only did Wu Sheng have the cultivation level of Jingzhao Realm, but he also had 300,000 divine warriors under his command. In the past, she would not have had any hesitation, but now she had to admit that Wu Sheng was qualified to compete for the Luofu Dynasty.
"The Luofu Dynasty belongs to our prosperous dynasty!" Xueyi envoy said.
"But Ambassador Mo Hai is not suitable to be an emperor!" Zhao Gao said softly.
The snow clothes made the body tremble slightly.
Ambassador Mo Hai is not fit to be the emperor!
Of course she knows it very well.
In fact, the senior officials within Sheng Dynasty also knew it very well.
It was just because the Sheng Dynasty faced a bad situation in the past and needed to be prepared to fight against the Luofu Dynasty at all times, so no one raised this matter.
However, as the situation changed in the Sheng Dynasty facing the Luofu Dynasty, this matter has become an unavoidable problem within the Sheng Dynasty.
Xueyi is not stupid, she has already anticipated this matter.
It's just that she didn't think about what she was fighting for, so she didn't care about it.
Her initial plan was to leave this place with Wu Sheng after overthrowing the Luofu Dynasty, and go to the vast sea to become a pair of carefree wanderers.
But now someone actually said that Wu Sheng could be the emperor, which made her very upset.
She was silent for a long time, then raised her head and said again: "What do you want me to do?"
"We don't need it for now, but when civil strife breaks out in Sheng Dynasty, we may need your help!" Zhao Gao said.
"What if I don't want to?" Xue Yi asked.
Zhao Gao said calmly: "Then we can only meet each other on the battlefield, and you will be enemies by then!"
The snow-clothed warrior's hands shook a few times.
Become an enemy with Wu Sheng!
This is something she absolutely doesn't want to see.
The snow-clothed envoy fell into silence again.
It wasn't until Zhao Gao finished drinking the pot of tea that she stood up and said, "I understand, come back to me when the time comes!"
After saying that, she opened the door and left.
But Zhao Gao shook his head slightly.
Asking what love is in the world can teach you how to make love between life and death.
Mo Haishi is Sheng Chao's weakness, and Wu Sheng is Xueyi Shi's weakness.
It can be seen that the Snow Clothes Ambassador did not believe Zhao Gao's words, but she still chose to compromise.
Because she cares too much about Wu Sheng!
…
The rain outside the window was pattering.
In the silent room, Mo Haishi sat cross-legged on the mat.
He was not practicing, and his frown revealed his uneasy state of mind at the moment.
In recent times, the Sheng Dynasty's offensive against the Luofu Dynasty has become more and more powerful. Not only has it occupied the entire Luye Island, but it has also made preparations to attack Nanqing Island.
It seemed that everything was developing for the better, but Mo Haishi knew that the internal problems in the Sheng Dynasty had reached a point that could not be ignored.
Dong dong dong~
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Mo Hai spread his brows and said calmly.
"senior!"
Stormrage walked into the room and bowed.
"What's up?"
Mo Haishi asked.
The Stormrage looked at his back, his rough face full of hesitation.
"Mr. Kashima met some unknown people yesterday!"
"I don't know the origin!" Mo Haishi opened his eyes.
"Well, the other party came very mysteriously, and his cultivation level should be high!" Stormrage said.
Mo Hai made him take a deep breath.
"I know! You go down first!"
"Here!"
Without any hesitation, the Stormrage bowed and exited the room again.
And the long sigh of Mo Haishi sounded in the room.
…
Luofu Kyoto.
In the splendid palace, the bright sunshine shines on the white jade floor tiles, but it cannot dispel the dull atmosphere.
It seems that ever since the incident between the Yu family and the Blood Demon Sect broke out, the atmosphere in the court has become extremely dull.
However, Emperor Luofu was in a very relaxed and comfortable mood.
It was an unprecedented kind of comfort, which made Emperor Luofu's gloomy face become a little kinder.
The entire dynasty was in chaos, and even the rule of the court was in danger.
But Emperor Luofu still felt extremely comfortable, because he finally had some power in the court, making him no longer a puppet emperor.
This feeling of having everything in his hands made him feel extremely excited.
"What do you think of the red scarf thief?"
Emperor Luofu looked at everyone in the palace and asked calmly.
The struggle for power in the court was over, and they finally remembered the red scarf thief on Luye Island.
All the ministers in the palace were silent.
The powerful men of several wealthy families all looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, standing in the palace like statues.
Seeing this, Emperor Luofu had a cold look in his eyes.
This was the wealthy family's protest against him and their dissatisfaction with his interference in court affairs.
He also felt a little annoyed about this, but he didn't show it.
He glanced at the ministers, tapped the guard of the dragon chair with his fingers, and said lightly: "Since you don't have any, then retreat from the court!"
After that, he stood up and left the hall.
The ministers looked at each other and then left one after another.
After leaving the main hall, Emperor Luofu looked gloomy and said, "These damn guys, do you really think I can't do anything without them?"
He turned to the eunuch beside him and ordered: "Prepare the carriage and horses, let's go to the Black Prison!"
The eunuch looked stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and responded.
Black prison.
The largest prison in the Luofu Dynasty.
Those imprisoned inside are all extremely vicious people.
In the Luofu Dynasty, the most vicious people might still have a chance to survive after being captured. As long as they were willing to surrender to the wealthy family, the wealthy family would not mind accepting their loyalty.
For those who offend a wealthy family, there is almost no chance of survival. They must either wait for death or flee to the end of the world.
A place like Black Prison is naturally not a place where an emperor should go.
But Emperor Luofu is in urgent need of a group of masters who dare to work hard. The wealthy family does not cooperate, and the strength of the royal family is too weak, so he can only put his idea into the black prison.
In the past, it would have been almost impossible for Emperor Luofu to leave the imperial city, but now he can leave the imperial city at any time because the imperial army in front of the palace is already under his control.
One day later.
Thirteen figures wearing black clothes, black armor, and dark iron masks appeared in the imperial city.
They always followed the Luofu Emperor to protect his safety.
…
Wanhuang 2405, mid-June.
After Shengchao swallowed the entire Luye Island, he rested for three months and finally made preparations to attack Minami Qingdao.
At the same time, Emperor Luofu further suppressed the power of the wealthy families in Kyoto and obtained the military power of the Holy Military Army on Nanqing Island.
Although he cannot completely control the court, the power in his hands continues to expand. The forbidden army in front of the palace and the 300,000 holy warriors give him the confidence to say no to everyone.
As Emperor Luofu became more and more powerful, the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the wealthy families in Kyoto became more and more intense.
If it weren't for Sheng Chao threatening Minami Qingdao, the wealthy families in Kyoto would never have fallen silent.
However, it was precisely because of the prosperous dynasty that the Luofu Emperor gained control of the Holy Martial Army more easily.
Muhai City.
The thick clouds seemed as heavy as lead, and the extremely tense atmosphere made the soldiers of the holy warrior army tightly hold the weapons in their hands.
Muhai City is a coastal city in the eastern part of Nan Qing Island and one of the largest port cities on Nan Qing Island.
Under the dull clouds, this ancient city is about to face a war.
Within the city, 50,000 soldiers of the Holy Martial Army were ready for battle.
Outside the city, in the vast sea, countless ships surrounded the port.
It is already known that Sheng Chao attacked Nan Qingdao, but no one expected that Sheng Chao would directly attack Muhai City.
You must know that Muhai City is not only a port city, but also only a few dozen miles away from the station of the Shengwu Former Army.
Therefore, after receiving the news that the Sheng Dynasty's army was attacking Muhai City, the Shengwu Front Army immediately entered Muhai City.
Facing the powerful Sheng Dynasty army, everyone in Muhai City felt unparalleled pressure.
On the city wall.
Shengwu's former army officers all looked for Liu Chen, looking at the endless ships outside the harbor with extremely solemn expressions.
He is a member of the Liu family, a wealthy family in Kyoto, but now he has to follow the will of Emperor Luofu.
After all, the Sheng Dynasty's army's attack on Nan Qingdao was not only a matter for the Luofu Emperor himself, but also a matter for the entire Luofu Court.
No matter how dissatisfied the wealthy family in Kyoto is with Emperor Luofu, they cannot joke about this kind of thing.
Thinking of this, Liu Chen couldn't help but smile.
No one thought that wealthy families like them would one day obey the will of the Luofu Emperor.
"Report, Lord Commander, the Chinese Army has sent an order to our army to defend Muhai City. Reinforcements will arrive in two days!"
A messenger came behind Liu Chen and reported.
When Liu Chen heard this, his expression remained unchanged.
"This general knows!"
This is to be expected.
If you want to resist the attack of Sheng Dynasty's army, the best way is to prevent Sheng Dynasty's army from landing.
The Sheng Dynasty army chose Muhai City, which was actually a good thing for them, because they could rely on the walls of Muhai City for defense.
But Liu Chen had some doubts in his heart as to why the Sheng Dynasty army chose Muhai City.
It stands to reason that Sheng Dynasty's army should find a weakly guarded coast to land on. There is no need to choose Muhai City.
Just when he was confused, the Sheng Dynasty army outside the harbor began to take action.
A large number of ships were approaching, like a dark cloud, pressing towards the port.
In fact, the eastern wall of Muhai City is very short, only more than one foot high, and there is no city gate.
In order to facilitate trade in the port, Muhai City did not build a city gate from the beginning, but only built sections of discontinuous city walls. These walls were covered with crossbows to defend against attacks from the sea.
"Ready to fight!"
A cold command sounded from the city wall.
Then a soldier installed a wrist-thick crossbow arrow on the crossbow.
Woohoo~~~
The dull horn sound suddenly sounded.
When the ships of Sheng Dynasty's army docked at the port, thousands of crossbow arrows poured down from the frozen sky.
Countless crossbow arrows fell on the ship, shattering the wooden sails of the ship.
However, no soldiers disembarked from that ship. It was silent and there seemed to be no one on board.
When Liu Chen saw this, his expression changed slightly.
What does this mean?
Just sailing the ship into the port without carrying any soldiers?
Before he could figure out the other party's purpose, hundreds of ships entered the port outside the port.
Then, there was another wave of crossbows, but again no soldiers got off the ship.
In this way, four times in a row, they consumed a large number of crossbow arrows, but not even a single figure was seen.
Looking at the ships filling the port, Liu Chen's expression became extremely solemn.
"What are they going to do!"
Liu Chen could not understand what the Sheng Dynasty army was doing.
Muhai City itself is not a strategic location. It is already puzzling that Sheng Dynasty chose to attack from Muhai City. But now Sheng Dynasty's army only dropped ships and had no intention of attacking the city, which made it even more difficult for him to understand.
