Just now, the golden-armored secret guard he placed next to Yu Wenzhao received a secret letter, which detailed how Yu Wenzhao ignored his orders and killed the three generals Yu Longqiang, Xiao Yuhe and Yu Ruoguo. Scene of the three armies.
Just reading the description in this letter, Li Benxin felt chilled in his heart. Yu Wenzhao can take down an army of 200,000 people by himself. This strength is terrifying. As a king, what he fears most is not that his generals are incompetent, but that they are too capable. As a result, he was shocked by his high achievements and appeared to be too incompetent.
Although he believed in Yu Wenzhao's character, he did not believe in human nature. If Yuwen Zhao really becomes the generalissimo in Fucheng and makes great achievements on the battlefield in the future, will his people surround him and proclaim himself king? Will Sima Yue and other forces win over him?
All the kings and four major families in the world were once confidants of King Tiandu, but under the nourishment of power, they all betrayed him. And even if Yu Wenzhao does not betray, there is no guarantee that his family and friends will not betray him.
Today, Yu Wenzhao is the Grand Marshal of the Tianwei Mansion and is in charge of his own 70,000 forbidden troops. As for the Tianwei Mansion's top masters, including Tian Heng, Lu Yuan, Yu Wenxiong, and Li Hengdong, they are all members of the Iron Master. Even the other divine arresters in Tianqing Mansion and Neisi Mansion are allied with Tie Zhang. In this way, these people can all revolve around Yu Wenzhao. If one day Yu Wenzhao wanted to rebel, he wouldn't even have a single soldier in his hands to resist.
When he first ascended the throne, his position was not stable. In order to win over Yu Wenlan for protection, he made Yu Wenzhao the Grand Marshal and handed over the Imperial Guard to him. And Generalissimo Yu Wenzhao has done an excellent job in the past three years, without even making any mistakes. Whether it was the Imperial Guards, the City Protector, or even his own secret guards, they all praised his ability and character. Even so, Li Benxin regretted his original decision even more.
He had already had the idea in his mind to take back the military power of General Yu Wenzhao and replace all the divine arrests in the three inner palaces with his own royal family surnamed Li. However, the four major families were not destroyed and the kings were not at peace, so he was still far away from implementing this idea.
But I never thought that the two kings would die so soon, and the 200,000-strong army would also face the problem of choosing a commander. Now, things like taking back the military power, changing the internal government, and promoting the royal family are immediately before our eyes.
Li Benxin stood in front of Wang Tao, his desire to take back military power became stronger and stronger, his brows furrowed, his face became livid, and his fists even began to clenched.
Finally, he decided in his heart: "If today, I give up the military power to Yu Wenzhao or other people in the inner palace, then the four major families and the queens will be destroyed, and the inner palace will be the biggest disaster for the Tiandu Dynasty! Even if it is to do Even though I am a villain, I will never let this happen!"
Zhang Tianjun stood aside and saw Li Benxin's face getting darker and darker, as if he was thinking about something important. He was confused, he had just gained an army of 200,000 people, he should be happy. Why is his face getting uglier? But it can also be guessed that he is probably thinking about Fucheng's commander-in-chief.
After Li Benxin thought everything through, he walked back to the throne and sat down safely.
At this time, Zhang Tianjun stepped forward, bowed and said: "King. At noon, Concubine Jin and Concubine Yin sent a special message. They brought live geese and goats from the northwest, and asked you to go to a barbecue and drink early." I think it’s almost time.”
Li Benxin came back from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Oh, I almost forgot about it. But I probably won't be able to eat this barbecue. I have other arrangements later. Tianjun, let me ask you a question. You said Feng Why don’t any of the local princes like King Wang and King Cheng be loyal?”
Knowing that Li Ben had something in mind, Zhang Tianjun pretended to be ignorant, scratched his head and said with a smile: "I never thought about this. However, their first generation of vassal kings were very loyal to King Tiandu. Their descendants Maybe once you get used to enjoying power, you will gradually become ungrateful."
Li Benxin nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "You are right. People in the past planted trees and people in the future will enjoy the shade, but those who enjoy the shade may not remember the hard work of the people who planted the trees. Power is the most powerful poison in the world. It can It corrodes people's souls and turns honest and kind people into the most evil and greedy devils. If it weren't for a peerless hero like Yu Wenzhao, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to defeat them even if I spend ten more years. You say, if Yu Wenzhao and Sima Yue fight, Which of them has a better chance of winning?"
Zhang Tianjun said "Hey" in his heart! Li Benxin thought for a long time with a sullen face. It turned out that he was afraid that Yu Wenzhao's great achievements would shock the Lord! His brain circuit is really strange. He was so loyal that he took care of his horse and horse, but he unexpectedly started to think about being on guard so quickly. What an incompetent and inferior king! He was afraid that his men would be too weak to be useful, and he was afraid that his men would be too strong to be able to control them.
Zhang Tianjun still pretended to be ignorant and thought about it and said: "It seems that the two of them have not fought before. However, Sima Yue is one of the best, and Yu Wenzhao is the leader of the younger generation. I guess the two are about the same strength. But in terms of scheming, of course. Sima Yue has the upper hand."
Li Benxin smiled and said: "It makes sense. Then how many people in the entire Dragon City can beat Yu Wenzhao?"
Zhang Tianjun shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. However, several sects in Dragon City are also hiding dragons and crouching tigers. Especially the Shen Leg Sect, Iron Head Sect, Iron Spear Sect, Ziyi Sect, Tianzang Xuanmen and other profound sects. The old sect, they have many top masters from the older generation. Although Yu Wenzhao is powerful, he will not be able to defeat these seniors within at least ten years."
Li Benxin thought with his eyes and sighed to himself: "Ten years! Crazy Lion Palm is really powerful. Ten years later, Yu Wenzhao will not be more than forty-three years old, and he will be the number one person in Dragon City at that time. His uncle Yu Wenlan once He is the second best player in the world, and his future is limitless. He is indeed a hero, which is admirable."
Hearing this, Zhang Tianjun completely understood. Li Benxin was jealous and afraid of Yu Wenzhao. Yu Wenzhao was also suspected for no reason, and he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to be reused in the future.
I couldn't help but despise Li Benxin. He had too many thoughts and his structure was too narrow. Maybe the taste of power is so wonderful, like a fox carrying a piece of rotten meat in his arms. He likes to eat it, but he is afraid that others will miss him.
Zhang Tianjun knew Li Benxin's thoughts and could not speak for Yu Wenzhao. I could only interrupt and said with a smile: "Yes! Crazy Lion Palm is really powerful. I'm afraid I will never be able to catch up with masters like them in my life."
Li Benxin smiled and said: "Hey, you are also very powerful. You brothers are all from famous families, and your skills are not bad. Of course, that boy He Mingming is worse, but it doesn't matter. I have thought about it. Establish a special arresting department for your senior fellow apprentices, with your eldest brother Xie Xu as the chief arresting officer. What do you think?"
Zhang Tianjun showed joy on his face and hurriedly handed over his hands and thanked: "Then I would like to thank King Tiandu for the reward on behalf of my eldest brother and the others. I believe that my eldest brother and the others will be able to do a good job for the king."
Li Benxin smiled and said: "Yes. I believe them too. Tianjun, I want to entertain three distinguished guests in the garden. You go to Jinfei Yinfei and tell them not to wait for me. I will barbecue with them tomorrow. By the way. , take the game they prepared to the imperial dining room to make delicacies, and send it to the imperial garden to entertain the distinguished guests later."
Zhang Tianjun accepted the order and walked out of the hall. As soon as he left, Li Benxin summoned his confidant general Li Longxin, who was also the leader of his secret guard. After giving instructions, Li Longxin hurriedly left the palace.
…
The dusk glows red, a thousand miles southeast of Dragon City, Huacheng Tianhai Holy Demon Mountain.
The bluestone mountain is towering and the rocks are piled up. There are no trees, no birds or beasts in sight on the 300-foot-high mountain, just like a stone ax falling from the sky and striking the ground. At the mountain pass, a stone tablet more than ten feet tall stands, with three characters "Holy Demon Mountain" carved on it.
Sima Yue and the silver-faced swordsman came to the stone tablet and dismounted.
Looking at the powerful characters on the stone tablet, the silver-faced swordsman flashed an envious look in his eyes and pointed: "Look! These three characters were originally carved by the Ghost Sword Saint Zhu Jingchen with one strike. With just one strike, others will It cannot be learned in a few lifetimes. The name of Sword Sage is well-deserved. And Zhu Jingchen trained five disciples in his life, all of whom are top figures in the world. Especially the master of the Buddhist Temple Hell Sect, Emperor Shifo, and the pilgrim demon hero Feng Laijiang. No one knows it, and no one is afraid of it.”
Sima Yue said with a smile: "No matter how powerful you are, you will still be killed. Hurry up the mountain, it will get dark soon."
After the two of them finished speaking, they each showed their lightness skills. One of them jumped dozens of times on the mountain wall like a giant leap, and then they reached the top of the 300-foot cliff. A ghostly figure flashed along the stone steps, taking dozens of breaths to follow.
At this time, an old man in black was standing beside the huge square carved out of stone on the top of the Holy Demon Mountain. The old man was fighting with his hands behind his back, his face was like a stone sculpture, his eyes were cold and vicious, and he was looking at the two people flying down the mountain.
When the two of them reached the top of the mountain, they also saw the old man standing on the edge of the cliff. Seeing that the old man had a cruel look on his face, he cut his forehead deeply with a knife. What's more, the left eye actually has a golden pupil, and the right eye is even red. His thick, wrinkled black skin was tightly wrinkled, and there was not a single stubble on his chin, but a cross-shaped scar. A quick look revealed that a demon had returned to the human world, a ghost was reincarnated by mistake, and it looked as ferocious as a devil. And he is none other than the pilgrim demon hero Feng Laijiang.
