Three days later, Dameng Dynasty, the center of the imperial city.
"Mr. Zhuzhong, you should also know about the information from the Demon-Slaying Alliance. This time, the Shangguan family colluded with the demons.
All of this is too coincidental, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the human world is digging a trap. I really can’t figure out why Shangguan Sanlao, who doesn’t seem to be such a stupid person, still jumped into the trap obediently?”
Huan Cangyuan sat on the dragon chair in the study and asked Zhu Zhonglan who was standing to one side.
Takenaka Lan gently waved the snow-white feather fan in his hand, with a strong interest in his eyes: "Your Majesty, if you are not in the game, you cannot understand the feelings of the people in the game.
Rather than saying that Shangguan Sanlao jumped into the trap obediently, it is better to say that the three of them were forcibly pushed in by various psychological pressures exerted by the Human World Council."
"Oh?" Huan Cangyuan was puzzled as soon as he said this.
Takenaka Arashi continued to explain: "The promise made by the Human World Council when it appeared at the peace conference has already put some pressure on the five forces who were also allies at the time and were the original Anti-Dream Alliance.
However, with Ji Tianzang from the Beast King Valley coming to show off, and the leaders of other forces showing off, they can maintain the balance of the alliance, and prevent the Human World from being dominated by one family.
But it is a pity that Ji Tianzang ignored his own importance and participated in the battle personally. Of course, it is also possible that Emperor Shitian provoked him with words and caused this situation.
All in all, the final result was that the only person who was trying to make a fool of himself was dead, and the Beast King Valley temporarily withdrew from the situation in order to choose a new Valley Master.
This also broke the balance originally maintained by the Demon-Slaying Alliance.
Immediately afterwards came the incident of demonic chaos. Emperor Shitian made the decision as quickly as possible and took on the matter resolutely. This seemingly thankless behavior naturally made the reputation of the world society even higher.
layer.
Compared with a hegemon, a benevolent lord will be more likely to gain the trust and unhesitating followers of everyone, even if he is disguised.
This caused the members of the Demon-Slaying Alliance who originally favored the Human World Association to directly turn to Emperor Shitian. In addition, the temporary withdrawal of the Beast King Valley put greater pressure on the remaining forces.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Shitian took the initiative to go to Zhujian Peak, and at the same time took Zhu Xingfeng, the head of Zhujian Peak, and promoted Huangfu Haotian, who was most likely to conflict with the human world, to the position of deputy leader.
This can be regarded as the final blow to the person who hides in the dark and has been dissatisfied with the Human World.
It only took a few days to know all these things, so Shangguan Sanlao was panicked. Of course, there may be other people who also felt vaguely uneasy.
It's just that the three elders of Shangguan jumped out first. As an aristocratic family, they are good at speculation, and they only treat the so-called battle between humans and demons as a battle between two forces.
Therefore, taking advantage of the absence of Emperor Shitian, he immediately reached a temporary cooperation with the demons.
Although they knew that Emperor Shitian left at this time, it must be to lure the person in the dark to jump out on his own initiative, but the layout of a situation requires not only wisdom and coordination, but also the guarantee of strength.
In addition, after the Human World Association exposed almost all its trump cards during the Great Ting Rebellion, the Shangguan Sanlao were confident that they could overcome skill with force, which also caused them to become complete losers.
This game is indeed clumsy, but on the other hand, it is also very clever. At every step, he puts pressure on the people in the dark. Those who can resist will lose the best opportunity to counterattack.
Those who couldn't resist it had to bear the consequences of being defeated because they lacked strength and took the initiative to expose their existence.
All I can say is that the defeat of the three elders of Shangguan was not unjust. No matter whether they moved or not, the outcome was destined."
Huan Cangyuan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Zhuzhong, so now that the Demon-Slaying Alliance is almost completely controlled by Emperor Shitian, will it be good or bad for our Dream Dynasty?"
Takenaka Lan raised his lips slightly and said confidently: "Your Majesty, the purpose of the existence of the Demon-Slaying Alliance is to slay demons, so the advantages must outweigh the disadvantages.
Besides, King Mengyu has already established some basic tacit understanding with Emperor Shaktian, so there is no need to worry about this matter."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never betray the Dream Dynasty." Mengyu King Huan Wuhen, who had been acting like a background at this moment, took the initiative to speak.
Huan Cangyuan took a deep look at Huan Wuhen and softened his tone a lot: "I certainly believe in the emperor's uncle, but I am a little confused as to why Emperor Shitian is confident that he can win over the emperor's uncle?"
Huan Wuhen looked as usual: "Perhaps because of the Great Ting Rebellion, Emperor Shitian believed that every prince had the ambition to covet the position of the Ninth Five Lords.
But I have absolutely no such delusions, and I ask your Majesty to tell you clearly."
It was obvious that Huan Wuhen was hiding something, such as what Ouyang Chili told him about the Three Kings Rebellion.
(See Chapter 1261 for some details.)
Huan Cangyuan did not answer, but kept his eyes locked on Huan Wuhen. Seeing that the current atmosphere was a bit heavy, Zhu Zhonglan took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty, I want to have a moment with Emperor Shitian, especially for Mr. Ouyang, I
I’ve been fascinated by it for a long time.”
Huan Cangyuan's eyes moved back to Zhuzhong Lan, nodded and said: "It's all right. In addition, I have informed several ancestors about the cooperation conditions reached with Mr. Zhuzhong, or with Wanxian Pavilion.
I believe that Mr. Takenaka will get his wish when the next land list is announced, and I very much look forward to Mr. Takenaka’s meeting with the Imperial Alliance leader to bring me more surprises.”
Takenaka Lan cupped his hands and saluted: "Thank you, Your Majesty. With my limited wisdom, I suddenly thought of something about the flaw in the previous game, or it was a flaw that was deliberately created."
Huan Cangyuan frowned slightly: "You mean Shangguan Lei's appearance?"
Zhu Zhonglan nodded and said: "If Shangguan Lei is not found at the ambush scene, the Human World Association will still be able to target Leiyun Palace and the Shangguan family.
But in the end we will never achieve the nearly perfect result we have now.
Therefore, based on my limited wisdom, the appearance of Shangguan Lei is not an accident, but one of the destined factors.
That in itself is a condition that constitutes this situation.”
Huan Wuhen on the side looked extremely puzzled and said: "You mean there is a spy in the Shangguan family, and it is among the other senior officials of the Shangguan family except Shangguan Lei.
Someone among them has long been in cahoots with Emperor Shi Tianhang, so someone used words to lure him, so that Shangguan Lei would definitely appear in that ambush, right?"
Zhu Zhonglan cast admiring glances at Huan Wuhen, nodded and said: "Not bad."
Huan Wuhen frowned: "The members of the family are loyal to the family, and this kind of brainwashing is more terrifying than our training of dead soldiers.
Especially those at the top, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to do anything that harms the interests of the Shangguan family."
But Zhu Zhonglan shook his head and said: "What if this person's purpose is to save the Shangguan family? A person who understands how terrible the human world can be, has been involved in the human world many times in advance, and is also a senior member of the Shangguan family.
And in this overall situation, not only did we not lose too much, but we also gained the person who regained the power of the Shangguan family."
Huan Cangyuan and Huan Wuhen said in unison: "Shangguan Feiyun!"
At the same time, in Beimeng City, the Human World Association is stationed.
A figure wearing a black robe stepped inside, and Dragon King Leng Chuluo, one of the eight tribes of the Human World Society, had been waiting for a long time.
In the conference hall, the man in black robe took off his hood, revealing his fair and somewhat haggard face. This man was another mole in the Shangguan family that Zhu Zhonglan had guessed!
The head of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Feiyun!
