The King of Huainan suddenly stood up from the collapse, and the beauty in his arms was pushed out by a burst of vitality. The dancers and musicians also hurriedly stopped.
Cheng Gong now bowed and stood in front of King Huainan, with a look of shame and a hint of fear on his face.
"Yes~Yes, Your Majesty, a spy is here to report: More than 300 corpses were found in the woods not far from the mouth of the King of Hell in Huayin County, all of them were blood brake soldiers. All other people and horses are missing, and there is no trace of them.
Also~ and..."
Speaking of this, his face became very solemn.
"What else?" King Huainan asked.
"Also, the spies found more than twenty graves in the woods, which should belong to Ximen Hao's subordinates."
"What?! In other words, Ximen Hao paid the price of more than twenty subordinates in exchange for the annihilation of five hundred of my Blood Brass Army?!"
The King of Huainan was so upset!
I have always heard folklore, or my spies reported how powerful Ximen Hao is, and I still don't believe it, but today...
Isn’t this such nonsense?
"This~ Your Majesty, counting the more than a hundred people who are missing, you can say... Your Majesty! It's your subordinate's fault, please punish me!"
Cheng Gong said, kneeling in front of King Huainan.
He knew very well that the Blood Brass Army was a secret army established by King Huainan at great cost. There were only twenty teams and five thousand people in total, which consumed a lot of resources!
Fortunately, Huainan is rich in products, otherwise it would be impossible to support it by just one county.
Because King Huainan still has some regular troops that he needs to support!
King Huainan stood stunned for a long time, feeling angry, distressed, and a little afraid.
Finally, he took a deep breath and lifted Cheng Gong up with his hands:
"Strategist, you don't have to blame yourself. It was me who underestimated Ximen Hao's strength."
Cheng Gong stood up, but still bowed deeply:
"I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity. I am ashamed of myself! But I am so generous, Your Majesty!"
Having said this, he stood up suddenly and said seriously:
"Your Majesty, if Ximen Hao is not eliminated! He will be a hard stone blocking our great cause!"
King Huainan let go of Cheng Gong, with a murderous look on his face!
"It seems! He really has the help of gods! But...we must kill him!"
"Then Prince, our second step plan..."
"Execute! The second step failed, we still have a third step! Ximen Potian's cultivation is about to begin long-term seclusion. If we don't get rid of Ximen Hao, there will be no chance when he returns from Tiandu Academy!"
The King of Huainan is now determined to kill Ximen Hao! In the past, it was just that, but after experiencing this first game, his entire army was wiped out, which made him feel scared!
Cheng Gong was stroking his beard and thinking for a moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Your Majesty, the second step needs to be carried out, but regardless of success or failure, we must make plans for the future."
"Oh? Military advisor, come quickly."
King Huainan directly pulled Cheng Gong and sat beside him, looking particularly cordial.
Cheng Gong was slightly moved. Regardless of whether King Huainan gained power or not, it was worth following such a master.
"Your Majesty, did you know that Pan Shimei committed suicide?"
"Of course I know. When the prime minister of a country dies, he is granted the title of duke, and even his heirs follow him. How come I don't know that?"
"Does the prince know that he has a daughter, Pan Yunlian?"
"Pan Yunlian?"
"That's right, Pan Yunlian! This is the sister of the former imperial concubine Pan Yinlian, and the second daughter of Pan Shimei. Although this girl rarely goes out, her literary talent is extremely outstanding! In the literary world, she can be called a strange woman. Unfortunately, she is usually too low-key.
There are very few people.”
When Cheng Gong said this, he couldn't help but show admiration.
It is true that not many women can have such talent.
King Huainan was also surprised, but more confused.
"Haha~ To be honest with the prince, my daughter Cheng Cheng and Pan Yunlian once met in Tiancheng City and were good friends. They have always exchanged letters. I also learned about it from my daughter. Moreover, some time ago, my subordinates ordered people to pay attention to Pan Shi
When the weather is beautiful, there is also news about Pan Yunlian."
"Oh...I see. What does the military advisor mean...to win over Pan Yunlian? But what if a weak woman without any power, even if she is knowledgeable and talented, is so good?"
King Huainan was still puzzled. After all, the other party's father was dead, so what could a yellow-haired girl do?
"Haha~ Your Majesty, please don't forget that there is Concubine Di in the palace, and there are some of us in the court." Cheng Gong said with a smile.
"Concubine Di? Huh! It's great if a crazy woman can save her life!" King Huainan said disdainfully.
"Hahaha! Your Majesty's words are wrong. Concubine Di will be fine in about ten days!"
Cheng Gong stroked his beard confidently.
"Ah? Could the military advisor be joking?"
King Huainan was even more confused.
Cheng Gong suddenly bowed and said apologetically:
"Your Majesty, there are some things that I can't explain for fear of causing trouble to you, but please rest assured, your Majesty, Concubine Di will be fine. When she gets better, why don't you take advantage of her? A revenge for killing a son, an indirect harm.
Dead sister, father’s hatred.”
When Cheng Gong said this, he did not continue. He believed that King Huainan would understand.
King Huainan frowned and thought for a moment, then gradually relaxed.
Although there are many uncertain factors here, if used properly, it will be of great help to him!
Not only can he use his strength to deal with Ximen Hao, he can even deal with the current emperor!
Don’t forget, Concubine Di will definitely hate the Emperor for Ximen Guang’s death!
"Wonderful! Wonderful! If used well, the military master's move can even kill two birds with one stone!"
The King of Huainan was overjoyed, even if he couldn't kill Ximen Hao in the second move, he would still have such a wonderful move!
"Hahaha! It seems that the prince has also thought of it. Not bad! Pan Yunlian can contact Concubine Di. After all, the two families have cooperated before. Concubine Di not only has a grudge against Ximen Hao, but also against His Majesty! So we might as well take advantage of the opportunity.
Since Ximen Hao's power in the court is not stable, His Majesty is busy with the affairs of the academy and the canal, so he must make this move work."
Cheng Gong smiled and stroked his beautiful beard. The proudest moment for a military advisor is when making plans.
"Then I would like to ask the military advisor, who should make the first move in this move?"
"Haha~ My little girl is not talented, but if I want to make friends with Pan Yunlian, let her take the first step!"
King Huainan's expression changed slightly, he quickly stood up and saluted:
"The military advisor is so generous! I am deeply grateful! Military advisor, don't worry, I will send experts to protect you personally!"
Cheng Gong panicked and quickly returned the gift:
"Your Majesty, your words are serious! You have shown kindness to your subordinates, and they will do their best."
As a result, the two of them acted out a drama of deep love between master and servant.
As for Ximen Hao, they are also hurrying to Huainan County, and will soon reach the largest city in Huainan County, Hangzhou!
Although Hangcheng is where the palace of King Huainan is located, most people don't go there because the teleportation array to Tiandu Academy is also established in Hangzhou.
Therefore, they had to go through this journey no matter what.
