In the dead of night, in a bright study room in the imperial city of the Zhao Xin clan, Zhao Lingyun frowned and read the two secret letters in his hand, then placed the two secret letters on the table while rubbing his eyebrows.
One of the secret letters stated the reaction of the people and the court of the Jinhai Kingdom to the death of Princess Yulan, while the other recorded in detail Jin Chengyong's attitude towards the matter, and Jin Chengyong's attitude was somewhat
It exceeded the expectations of Zhao Lingyun and others.
Zhao Lingyun closed his eyes and pondered. He did not expect that Jin Chengyong actually planned to endure it, nor did he expect that Jin Chengyong planned to join forces with Zhao Xin's country to destroy Xia Geng's country in five years, and then wanted to annex Zhao Xin's country. He always acted like a gentleman.
Jin Chengyong actually had such a great talent and strategy. Thinking about this, a hint of ridicule appeared at the corner of Zhao Lingyun's mouth. Looking at the secret letter on the desk, a plan emerged in Zhao Lingyun's mind.
Early the next morning, Zhao Lingyun summoned Zhao Lingwu into the palace. He showed Zhao Lingwu the intelligence about Jin Chengyong last night. After Zhao Lingwu read it, he looked at Zhao Lingyun silently, wondering what he wanted to do.
"Brother, do you have any ideas?"
"It's up to you."
"After you have contacted the people from the Jin Hai Kingdom, I want you to find a suitable opportunity to reveal Jin Chengyong's plan to the people from the Xia Geng Kingdom in the middle of next year. Let the alliance relationship between the two countries first
They broke up and became suspicious of each other. If Li Degong and Zang E can't keep their temper, we can still watch a good show."
"Then the Jinhai Kingdom will definitely suspect me. I wonder if they will send troops to provoke a border provocation in two years' time?"
"It doesn't matter. Since Jin Chengyong wants to fight against the Xia Geng Kingdom five years later, then we will help him advance the time. After they start fighting first, we will naturally attack the southern border of the Xia Geng Kingdom."
"Your Majesty, are you going to launch your plan in advance?"
"Well, time waits for us not. Since we have such a good opportunity, how can we miss it? As for my layout in the other two countries, it has been completed. There are just some small flaws. After launching, I can still check for the gaps. And the teacher has also come back.
Next year will be a good opportunity.”
"Your Majesty, although I have been involved in your layout for several years, I know very little about your overall plan. Can you tell me in detail how you plan to deal with the powerful families of the two countries after the merger?
, and how to eliminate the resistance of the people of the two countries to the rule of our Zhao Xin clan?"
"You will know when the time comes. These things will not be explained to you for a while."
"But……"
"Brother, are you worried that I will drag Zhao Xin's country into the quagmire of endless war?"
"Exactly."
"Don't worry, I have a solid strategy to appease the people, which will make the people of the two countries recognize from the bottom of their hearts the rule of the Zhao Xin Kingdom over them. The people of the two countries have been oppressed by those aristocratic families for thousands of years, and they have long been
There are many complaints, and our country, Zhao Xin, is the spark that ignites their resentment. You should also know that in the past few years, people from those two countries have been immigrating to our country, Zhao Xin, and the people's support can be used."
"I will help you fulfill the long-cherished wish of our Zhao Xin family and comfort the heroic spirits of our Zhao Xin family ancestors."
"When the time comes, I will naturally announce to the world what you have done for our Zhao Xin clan, brother. At that time, my brother's name will surely shine through the ages, and he will enjoy the blood and food offered by the descendants of my Zhao clan."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"I just don't know if brother is still interested in this seat?"
"You do not trust me?"
"Not really. In fact, my dream has always been to travel around the country with the one I love. I was forced by the situation and had no choice but to compete with my eldest brother for this position. If we hadn't fought, Qin'er and I might have been buried long ago.
.”
"I am not interested in this position now, believe it or not. I just want to be like Uncle Wang and be remembered by future generations as a virtuous king. I hope you can keep your promise and rectify my name after unifying Jiunaozhou. And I
Now I realize that it’s not easy to sit in that position. You are seven years younger than me, but looking at your current appearance, you are almost the same as me. It seems that sitting in that position is very tiring."
"Brother, you actually have such a realization now. I feel powerless only after sitting in this position. Since I came to the throne, I have been walking on thin ice, and I am only afraid that I am about to make a mistake. When did you have such a realization?"
"I have figured it out since I participated in your plan. I am indeed inferior to you. I was defeated unjustly back then, but now I am convinced by you. And since I gave up my desire to compete with you, my state of mind that has not been loosened for many years has actually changed.
I have made a breakthrough, and I am now at the sixth level of Apocalypse Realm."
Zhao Lingyun looked at Zhao Lingwu's calm eyes, which no longer had the violence that flashed from time to time in the past, and became calm and natural. He couldn't help but said: "Brother, your current state will arouse the suspicion of Jin and Xia.
"
"I will play my role well, and I will make myself even more arrogant in the future."
"Brother, you have to be more careful. Our country, Zhao Xin, has never been short of chivalrous people. If you are not careful, you may be in danger of death."
"I'll pay attention."
…
Half a month later, Yue Qianming signed a treaty with the Xia Geng Kingdom according to the established plan. Due to the impact of the assassination of Princess Yulan, the Xia Geng Kingdom was not as confident as it was at the beginning, and had reduced many of its excessive demands. That note
The treaty states that the two countries will continue to deepen exchanges and expand trade between the two countries. Each country will retreat hundreds of miles away and expand its buffer zone.
As for the attack on the mission, the Xia Geng clan found hundreds of death row prisoners from prison and carved a tattoo of the Red Flame Wolf Cavalry on their bodies, thus giving Yue Qianming and others an explanation. Yue Qianming said this
The mission was considered a complete success, so naturally I didn’t dwell too much on it.
When the Xia Geng Clan was tracing the source of Zang Shiling's poison, it was revealed that the Xia Geng Clan was involved in a black market smuggling transaction, in which a wealthy family was involved. The Minister of Punishment, Muren Zhong, was under pressure from all sides and had to stop the investigation. Another
Li Degong's metaphor quickly settled the case.
The final conclusion was that Zang Shiling coveted the beauty of Princess Yulan and wanted to do something evil. In the end, Zang Shiling killed Princess Yulan during the fight. Later, he was broken into and was killed on the spot by the palace guards.
The rest of the people have nothing to do with it, it is purely Zang Shiling’s personal behavior.
When Li Chengji and Jin Chengyi saw the conclusion report of the Ministry of Punishment being eliminated, one can imagine the anger in their hearts. The Xia Geng Kingdom also gave Jin Hai Kingdom a lot of compensation, and even compensated Jin Hai with a spiritual mine near the western border.
Only then did they temporarily appease the furious Jin Chengyi and others.
After the mission to pick up the body of Princess Yulan arrived, Li Chengji, who had interacted with Tang Qing, looked at Tang Qing's red eyes and felt even more guilty.
When Li Chengji was in Kyoto, the Kingdom of Jinhai, he and Tang Qing had tit-for-tat confrontations and later became sympathetic to each other. The relationship between the two was very complicated. When Li Chengji married Princess Yulan again, he promised Tang Qing that he would protect her. Good Magnolia, but the words are still in my ears, and Magnolia's bones are cold.
When Tang Qing, Jin Chengyi and others took away Yulan's body, Tang Qing only said to Li Chengji, "Li Chengji, I will definitely avenge Lan'er. The Zang family will be destroyed, and there will be disaster in Qingling City." A day that was trampled."
Li Chengji looked at the jade coffin going away, feeling infinite sadness in his heart. He turned around and looked at Qingling City. At this time, in Li Chengji's eyes, the majestic Qingling City was like a huge cemetery full of ghosts and ghosts everywhere. They are all monsters that choose and devour people. The setting winter sun stretched Li Chengji's figure long, and he silently said with grief and anger in his heart: "Lan'er, I will let the entire Zang family be buried with you."
When Yue Qianming and others returned to Zhao Xin's country, it was already December. Chunyu Hou led the team back to Beijing to resume their duties, while Yue Qianming stayed in the north and began to make plans to wipe out the Jiugou Babao bandits headed by Lin Taozhai. military deployment.
After nearly a month of investigation, as well as the aerial auxiliary reconnaissance of Young Eagle Guard, the movement trajectory of this highly mobile group of bandits was finally figured out. Yue Qianming also conducted on-site inspections of the terrain in areas where the bandits often moved.
Due to the frequent movements of the Northern Territory Legion, the bandit leader Wang Zhengqian was alerted. The bandits from the Nine Gorges and Eight Forts had broken into pieces and hid in secret strongholds in the mountains of the North. Now among the Nine Gorges and Eight Forts There is no one in it.
Yue Qianming compiled the intelligence obtained from the investigation and conducted on-site investigation, and he had a clear understanding of the behavior and style of the bandits. All it took was a surprise attack for the bandits to relax their vigilance and return to the village. This group of bandits can be wiped out.
However, at this time, Yue Qianming was frowning as he read a piece of information about the bandit leader Wang Zhengqian in his hand. This man was about thirty years old and had an ominous origin. The materials he robbed were mostly found in the black market of the Xia Geng clan. The black market of the Xia Geng Clan is controlled by four clans: He, Lou, Yu, and Ji. From the intelligence analysis obtained, it seems that the border troops of the Xia Geng Clan are also involved, facilitating this group of bandits. Door.
Among the caravans that come and go on weekdays, only these four families are rarely robbed by Wang Zhengqian, so it is speculated that these four families are supporting this group of bandits behind the scenes. Or the bandits in Jiugoubabao are likely to be private soldiers raised by these four families.
Wang Zhengqian had very strict requirements on his subordinates and implemented militarized management. Each of the eight forts had more than 500 people and a fort master. Only when large-scale caravans were plundered, the eight forts would come out together, led by Wang Zhengqian. Leaders basically do their own thing on weekdays.
The five hundred bandits that were annihilated by the Young Eagle Guards at the right moment were a joint operation from the three forts of Yuzhu Valley, Feijia Valley, Congning Castle, Solidification Castle, and Yibao in the Sharp Blade Valley, intending to rob the Six Classics Hall in Xia Geng Three first-grade elixirs and one top-grade sea medicine purchased from the country.
After Yue Qianming put away the investigation report in his hand, he left the camp and looked up at the gloomy sky. There seemed to be signs of falling snow. As he walked, he looked at the lively training scene of the soldiers in the northern border, until he came to the empty Hina. Eagle Guard Camp.
Yue Qianming was shocked when he saw the report that the Young Eagle Guards had wiped out a bandit force of 500 people without any casualties. Even if a martial arts team of 100 people wanted to kill this 500-man bandit force, Yue Qianming was shocked. The bandit troops will inevitably suffer damage. How did the Young Eagle Guard do it?
Judging from the Young Eagle Guard's report, they suddenly encountered this group of bandits without any prior planning, which was even more incredible. Yue Qianming came to Jiang Chen to ask him how he did it.
Looking at the empty Young Eagle Guard camp, Yue Qianming became even more curious about how these teenagers were trained. He wondered if he could get something from Jiang Chen and use it in the training of the martial arts team and Lidian Niu Legion. .
Then he called a soldier and asked him to ask Jiang Chen to come to him after the Young Eagle Guards returned to camp. Yue Qianming thought about asking Jiang Chen for advice on training methods, and his face was a little red. He, a teacher, actually wanted to seek advice from his students. The new method of training soldiers was naturally a bit embarrassing. But then I thought that the master was better than the master, and I, as a teacher, should feel gratified.
Yue Qianming still doesn't know the existence of "Thunder Arrow". If he knows that Jiang Chen and others have developed a new long-range attack weapon, his doubts will naturally disappear. And the training method of the Young Eagle Guard is also in the martial arts team The training method, which is slightly modified to suit air combat based on the previous training, is not as complicated as Yue Qianming thought.
