What is the relationship between the demon race and the human race? Essentially, it is the relationship between "food" and "diners". The demon race eats human flesh and blood, and the human race eats demon tendons. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. But in terms of the confidence of the race,
The human race is much worse than the demon race. Even if the martial saint Xu Fengyang started the trend of martial arts practice among the human race, the gap between the races has only narrowed and still cannot be reversed.
Who talks about food? No.
Therefore, after the demon country's national letter was handed over, Nanyuan Kingdom felt very strange from top to bottom.
what does this mean?
Without any delay, Zhou Cang took out a pen and paper on horseback and scrawled a brief summary. He immediately sent Feiyu to report to Baishi City. He then sent a team of cavalry to escort the copper bar towards Baishi City.
Sent over.
Yang Shiming, the commander of the Western Army in Baishi City, was also surprised. However, after carefully identifying the authenticity of the copper bar and opening it, he reported it to the Yamen of the Ministry of War instead of directly reporting it to the palace.
The content in the copper strip let Yang Shiming know that although the reason for the letter from the demon clan was strange, it was not that urgent. It was not something that needed to be decided. The military department's Yamen seemed more compliant.
Was it in compliance with the rules for Yang Shiming to open the national letter before? Of course it was in compliance with the rules. As the commander of the Western Route Army, and facing the weird behavior of the demon clan, how could he just send the copper bars directly to the emperor? Hostile relationship*, you say
If it’s a national trust, then it’s a national trust? What should I do if I’m making fun of people? Isn’t it a big joke?
There is not much content in the copper bar, and Feiyu can fully carry it. Therefore, before the official national letter was delivered to Yuanding Imperial City, Emperor Yang Sheng had already learned about the situation that had just subsided in the west through Feiyu's text message.
There's new news.
Yang Sheng read the content in Feiyu no less than ten times. Even though he knew it was correct, he still felt strange in his heart.
"Wu Kui, you have been in contact with the demon clan and have conducted many interviews. What do you think the demon clan, or rather the demon country, is planning this time? They actually proposed to send envoys to visit?"
As soon as the battle between the demon clan in the southwest was over, Wu Kui returned to Yuanding Imperial City from the Eastern Army camp. Shi Xuan had also led the main force of the Eastern Army back to Beijiang County to continue to defend Tonghu Pass while supporting the crossing line.
When Wu Kui heard the emperor's inquiry, he quickly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the habits of the demon clan are actually the same as those of the wild wolves in the mountains. They eat meat and cannot be changed. They can also rob and kill us humans.
, there has never been a second attitude. There are records in history books that there were once human nations that wanted to ask for peace, and were even willing to submit to the demon clan as a vassal. But they were still ignored by the demon clan. Until the warriors prospered later.
, the cost of the demon clan's attack began to increase, and it was not possible to support the war with war after traveling thousands of miles, and then the current pattern of the human race gradually formed.
This time the Haoyue Demon Kingdom proposed to send envoys, but I don’t know its intention. However, I think it may have something to do with their previous crazy attack on Xiyuan County but failed and retreated."
Yang Sheng didn't show any surprise after hearing this. Wu Kui said exactly what he thought.
The Monster Clan and Nanyuan Kingdom have been neighbors for hundreds of years, and even counting the time of the previous dynasty Qiande, it is even more than a thousand years. I have never heard of the Monster Clan taking the initiative to come as an envoy. It has never happened in the history of the human race.…
..
"Is there anything in Xiyuan County that attracts the demon clan?" Yang Sheng thought about it and couldn't think of any other possibility. Even if he looks back with this idea, the demon clan is attacking Xiyuan County in a large scale, as if they are going to conquer the city.
.It can be understood as "clear robbery". Now that it is clear that the robbery is no longer possible, are the envoys sent here to outwit? Or to coerce? Or to negotiate?
"The slave doesn't know." How did Wu Kui know what the demon clan was thinking?
"Draft a document to the yamen of the Ministry of War and ask them to order Yang Shiming to immediately conduct a survey of the entire Xiyuan County. All local yamen in Xiyuan County will fully cooperate. If there is insufficient manpower, Chonglan County and Changmen County can coordinate. My request is to start from
I began to search the documents of Xiyuan County from ancient times, including local chronicles and some legends.
Also, focus on checking the area behind White Rock City. Only those who haven’t got it will want to get it. If the demon clan is really here for something as we think, it must have not been obtained yet.”
The southwest part of Baishi City has been captured by the demon clan before. If you are looking for something, the demon clan will naturally get it. There is no need to attack the front line of Baishi City desperately. Therefore, it is also speculated that if there is such a thing that attracts the demon clan, it must be in
Somewhere behind White Rock Castle.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
On Wu Kui's side, there should be a clerk in the corner of the study room who is always ready to start writing. It is the clerk's duty to turn the emperor's spoken words into formal written orders. The emperor will then confirm that everything is correct.
Then add a stamp and deliver it by hand.
When the paperwork was completed, Yang Sheng looked at it and felt that there was no problem. He signed his signature and immediately sent someone to the Ministry of War Yamen not far away. Although the matter was not urgent, he wanted to arrange the whole thing as he said.
Xiyuan County will definitely take a lot of time. The earlier you start, the earlier you will get results. It is best to get the results before the demon tribe's envoys come. Of course, there may be no results.
After the order was sent away, Yang Sheng seemed to be troubled by this matter. He put down the pen in his hand and put his official duties aside for the time being. He picked up a small teapot on the table and left the study, preparing to go to the back.
Take a walk in the small garden to refresh your mind.
"A few days ago, I read Xiao Shisan's letter saying that Zhang Yan was leading them to build a house with a mountain gate? You know this, right?"
"In reply to your majesty, Zhang Yan did not hide it, so the slave also knew about it. Moreover, Zhang Yan's mountain gate is located on the cliff mountain that your majesty gave him last time. Now he goes there every one and a half months
.There is some new construction on the mountain, but it is not large-scale yet. It looks like it will take a long time to be completed."
Yang Sheng took a sip at the mouth of the small teapot and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhang Yan is ready to take off the cover of his miscellaneous knowledge? What will it be called Lishanmen in the future?"
"What your Majesty said is true. Judging from Zhang Yan's actions, he really wants to distinguish himself from the miscellaneous school lineage. In fact, he has said it a long time ago. He said that Zhang Yan's ability has the methods of the miscellaneous school lineage.
.But it’s not just miscellaneous studies. Other methods are actually better than miscellaneous studies. It’s clear who tolerates whom.
It's just that Zhang Yan probably didn't expect that his strength could improve so quickly. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to wear the coat of the miscellaneous scholar lineage."
Yang Sheng shook his head and disagreed with Wu Kui's statement: "Let's not care about Zhang Yan's ability. After all, it is not a category we are familiar with. But just looking at Zhang Yan's step by step rise, to be honest, 99% of the people are
He doesn't have this kind of character. If you look back at his previous actions based on the results, you will naturally feel that it is unnecessary. But looking at it at the time, he has sought the largest and widest environment for accumulating energy for himself at almost every step. Otherwise, if there is one more variable, he may
Can't walk."
When Yang Sheng said this, it was naturally impossible for Wu Kui to argue with him. However, Wu Kui had to admit that Zhang Yan was indeed walking now as the emperor said. I am afraid that no one in Nanyuan Kingdom can do anything to him.
.In turn, you have to rely a lot on him.
At the end, Yang Sheng had a sudden idea and said with a smile: "Zhang Yan seems to value the mountain gate very much. If I give him another piece of lake-view hills in Xiyuan County, will he accept it?"
