In order to keep Chi Dao following him, Emperor Gui couldn't let Chi Dao know that Wei Ziying was no longer perfect.
Wei Ziying had just married into the Nanling Palace, and Emperor Gui asked Chi Dao to go out and conquer the world for him.
After a year of fighting, Emperor Gui bribed Li Baitian, the steward of the Nanling Palace, and gave the son Wei Ziying gave birth to to a slave in the palace to raise him. When Chi Dao came back, he was late to know the truth of the matter.
Guihuang is very good at planning!
Later, Chi Chao, who was born to Chi Dao and Wei Zilou, was really Chi Dao's son. Chi Tang, the son of Emperor Gui, has been raised by the domestic slaves of the Nanling Palace.
The rotten poison on Chi Chaan was also caused by Emperor Gui. Prince Chi of Nanling was so good at Taoism that Emperor Gui could not tolerate him for a long time. It happened that he and the princess disappeared in the North Grassland, so Emperor Gui dared to inflict the poison on the young prince Chi Chaan.
After being poisoned by the poison, it was only a matter of time before Chi Chaan died. Later, Li Baitian was asked to clear his biological son's name on the day of soul enlightenment.
Otherwise, do you think Emperor Gui would allow the Gui Dynasty to have a king with a different surname that he has always followed?
Chitang is his bloodline inheritance, and it is natural for him to become a prince.
After knowing this, Chi Chao lamented the royal intrigues and cold temperament.
Seeing Chi Chaan's rise step by step, Emperor Gui must be worried, worried that Chi Chaan would know the truth sooner or later.
So Gui Huang designed him to die at the hands of bandits, killing people with borrowed knives and eradicating the roots.
Emperor Gui is now regarded as the most powerful enemy by Chi Chao.
In a while, the Penglai boat will dock at Linyong City's dock. If Chi Chao wants to take action, he must hurry up.
Chi Chaan excused himself to go to Tianyan and stayed for a while. He secretly smeared water containing white phosphorus into the envelope of the secret letter.
The letter in the secret envelope dries quickly, but once someone pulls the letter out, the heat of the person's hand plus the friction between the letter and the envelope can easily burn.
It is no small matter to start a fire in a sky full of flammable objects such as paper and wood.
Chi Chaan not only added white phosphorus to the letter, but also added white phosphorus water to the lighting lantern.
The white phosphorus water first swims under the candle. When the candle burns slowly, the white phosphorus water slowly evaporates due to the temperature, and finally bursts into flames.
This trick Chi Chao also learned in Momen, it has always been a method used by Momen assassins to eliminate traces of mistakes.
After the Penglai boat docked, most of the passengers disembarked reluctantly. These three days were happier than they had ever been before or ever since.
Even if you spend more money to enjoy it again, it is worth it. As the saying goes:
After the luxury is gone, travelers will never see it again.
The flute and zither do not ring, and the singing voice swallows.
The majestic sword has no power and its luster is dull,
The sword is scattered and the stars are destroyed.
The lonely jade steps fall with autumn dew,
The moon shines on the singing and dancing place at that time.
The singers and dancers did not return at that time;
Turned into ashes today.
Chi Chao followed the passengers off the ship. By the time the fire broke out in Tianyan Pavilion, he had already fled, and no one would suspect that he set the fire.
Arriving at the gate of the capital, the officer in charge of inspection was still the same one Chi Chaan had seen before.
After checking whether Chi Chao had any cultivation level, he asked his men to search his baggage.
He was not a cultivator, and he only had a few clothes and a rusty Tang knife in his baggage. Such a person would not pose a threat to the security of the capital, so Chi Chao let him in after paying the city entry tax.
The streets of Yongcheng are still bustling.
The people walking on the street didn't know how close the war was to them.
At that time, how many people will become widows, how many people will become orphans, and how many people with white hair will give away to people with black hair?
While Chi Chao was walking leisurely on the street, there was a silence in the meeting hall of the Gui Kingdom Palace.
"My dear friends, Huang Country has officially declared war on our country. If you have anything to discuss, please do so quickly so that we can discuss the war later." Gui Huang looked serious.
"I have something important to report!" Yuwensi, the chief medical supervisor of the National Health Protection Bureau, stepped forward and said, "Epidemics have appeared in many places in our country recently, and I am afraid it will spread. I ask your Majesty to ask the imperial doctors to go out for treatment. Outside The doctor is unable to save her."
"allow!"
"I also want to report something!" Chang Lin Shou, who is the guardian of Yong City, stepped forward and said, "Thefts have been rampant in Yong City recently, and there are practitioners among them. Please also send an order to let the practitioners in Guiyuan become my Wait for help to capture the bandits."
"allow!"
Emperor Gui quickly agreed to every request. In his opinion, these matters were far less important than the 700,000-strong army of Chen Jun in the Huang country.
"What do you think about the war?" Emperor Gui raised the issue.
"I believe that the 700,000-strong army of the Desolate Country is actually fake! Just after spring, the monsters in the northern grassland must have consumed a lot of the troops of the Desolate Country. They can only dispatch an army of 500,000 at most, and most of the local soldiers They are all ordinary people, with few practitioners. Their move is just a bluff and they intend to seize the territory in the north of our country." Yuwen Gong, who is the Minister of Military and Aircraft, added. "I think this battle should be fought."
"I don't think so." At this time, the Minister of Political Affairs, Mr. Lin, stood up. "The reason why the Huang Kingdom attacked our country is that we Gui people assassinated their prince. Regardless of whether this reason is true or not, they have the intention to annex our country's territory. I think we should give in. If we don't give in, 700,000 troops will go south. Just rely on Our 300,000 infantrymen at Yantu Military Camp can't stop them!" Duke Chang Lin obviously meant to demand peace.
"Give! Let! Let! You know how long we will give way! Let's give up the entire Gui Kingdom!" Yuwen Gong couldn't help but said loudly to the emperor.
"Yu Wengong, do you think I want you to? If you can use Yantu's 300,000 soldiers to hold back the 700,000 troops of the Huang Kingdom for ten days, and when the 400,000 troops from Mulan Pass in the south arrive, you can attack the Huang Kingdom's city. I don’t even mind!” Duke Changlin asked.
Duke Yuwen was speechless for a moment when he was asked this question. He was not Chi Dao's kind of person who could defeat the 400,000 soldiers of the desert country even if he only had 100,000 soldiers.
"Should we fight or not? Let your majesty decide!" Duke Yuwen bowed to Emperor Gui.
"Fight! Of course we have to fight!"
"But we are not fighting alone! Send an envoy to the Xi Kingdom and invite the leader of the Xi Kingdom to form an alliance with me on the Weishui River to resist the army of the Wild Kingdom together."
Gui Huang's words woke everyone up. yes! They can also unite with Xi Kingdom to fight against Huang Kingdom. If the leader of Xi Kingdom is not a fool, he must know that after destroying Gui, he will definitely destroy Xi.
Only the Xigui Alliance, working together to fight against the army of the Desolate Country, can avoid the country's destruction.
"Do you have any other suggestions, dear sir?" Gui Huang asked again.
"Your Majesty, I think it's time for the new generation of practitioners in Guiyuan to experience the storm." Gou Hou, as the prime minister, said.
"Indeed." Gui Huang nodded, "Let them first investigate and arrest the Huangguo intelligence agents hidden in the city."
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, do we need to take some measures regarding the eldest princess and King Nanling who are in the desert country?" someone asked.
Gui Dongdong is not his biological sister. Emperor Gui won't care about her no matter what. If he really valued her, he would not let her marry alone in a foreign country.
Chitang is his son. Compared with the eldest brother Gui Dashu, Chitang has not been influenced by the culture of Huangguo. Instead, he has learned the orthodox gentleman culture of Guiguo since he was a child. Compared with the third eldest Gui Xiaoshu, Chitang is older. He is also a genius in cultivation.
For such a son, who else can be the successor if he is not allowed to be his successor?
Emperor Gui didn't value the two princes from the beginning. The ministers may have thought that Emperor Gui wanted to see which prince was more capable, so they didn't make a choice.
In fact, Guihuang already had a candidate in mind, but it was not known yet.
When the King of Huang Country asked Chi Tang to go to Huang Country as a hostage, Emperor Gui thought that the King of Huang Country had found something. After all, Li Baitian was half of the Huang people, so it would be possible for him to inform Huang Country.
Emperor Gui didn't want to make friends with him at first, but there was a lot of pressure from the Huang country, so he had no choice but to let Chitang go to the Huang country.
Fortunately, Lord Huangyuan thought that Chitang would have the military leadership talent of his father, Nanling King Chidao, and wanted to make him a subject of Huangyuan.
Unfortunately, several years of observation concluded that Ikeba did not inherit his father's fighting genes, and in the end he was treated like an ordinary proton.
When news of the prince's assassination came from the Wild Country, Emperor Gui immediately used the spies of the Gui Kingdom who had been lurking in the Wild Country for a long time to send a message to Chitang, asking him to return to Gui immediately.
Poor Gui Dongdong didn't even know that she was abandoned by her royal brother.
As soon as Chitang returned to his Nanling Palace, before the bench was warm, a member of [Jianke] reported the news: Penglai boat caught fire, and most of the information in Tianyan Pavilion was burned!
Everything was fine, why did it suddenly catch fire?
The people in [Jianke] can't find it even if they want to. What can they find in a pile of ashes?
Chi Chaan walked around Yong City. After buying a suit of clothes worn by Gui people in summer, he strolled towards Gui Garden.
It's still the not-very-high archway where senior brother Xu Mu Zhidao took Chi Chaan up the mountain; it's still the red list without his name, which Chi Chaan browsed no less than seven or eight times; it's still the moss-covered one. The trail is where Chi Chun left the sword tower.
Chi Chaan came quietly without disturbing the teachers and students in Guiyuan.
Chi Chaan walked through the Guiyuan and came to the foot of the back mountain.
The back mountain is Yao Xiaojie's territory. It has sufficient spiritual energy and is suitable for the growth of medicinal herbs.
The first time Chi Chao saw her, she was tinkering with the medicine garden.
She still likes to wear green clothes as before. Chi Chaan smiled kindly at her and then walked towards her.
"That classmate, don't you know that the mountain behind Guiyuan is a forbidden area and you are not allowed to enter or exit at will?" Yao Xiaojie shouted to him.
"I know."
"You came in even though I knew it! If you commit a crime knowingly, you will be punished with an additional penalty. You will be punished by helping me weed weeds. Otherwise, I will tell the dean and ask him to expel you." Yao Xiaojie threatened.
"I'm afraid the dean doesn't have the right to fire me." Chi Chaan shook his head, "You'd better pull it out yourself."
"Oh, you little thief. Are you disobedient?" Yao Xiaojie walked toward him fiercely with a hoe.
Yao Xiaojie thought she was pretending to be fierce, but in fact, in Chi Chuan's eyes, she looked like "a hungry dragon roaring - oooo!"
"Hahaha!" Chi Chaan was really laughed at, holding his stomach and laughing wildly.
"Why are you laughing? I'll beat you!" Yao Xiaojie waved his hoe and threatened.
"Come on! Little brat!" Chi Chaan mocked
Yao Xiaojie hated being called a brat the most. She lost her mind in anger and hit Chi Chaan with the hoe.
This kind of attack was full of flaws, and Chi Chaan didn't even bother to dodge.
He took a step forward, the medicine hoe fell behind him, and his and Yao Xiaojie's bodies were almost touching.
