On a moonless night, there should be only pure darkness, but for Miyagi in the Kingdom of You, it was not absolute. Candles lit up the terrace on duty.
"The guard shift time has not changed." Taking advantage of the opportunity to sneak into the royal city, Yao Zongwen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Isn't this good? It's easier for us to sneak in." He Jung looked optimistic, leaning against the wall, and his black clothes seemed to blend into the wall.
Do not use magic and sneak in quietly to ensure that you are not discovered. Generally, in countries where there are practitioners in the country, using magic will alert them.
"Is it worth risking your life like this?" His heart was pounding. If he was involved in such a thing, it would be hard to save him once he was discovered.
That's right, even if he knew that the person next to him was half a god, Yao Zongwen still didn't have much confidence, because being able to do such a thing as sneaking in meant that the magic of the gods wouldn't work.
"Are you scared?" He Jung asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid of nothing. I'm not afraid of death. I'm just afraid that I won't see the destruction of You Kingdom and the death of King You." Yao Zongwen, who was full of hatred and had been tormented by hatred for a long time, had bloody eyes and broken teeth.
"Isn't today just to see if King You is dead?" He Jung stared into the depths of the palace and entered the inner courtyard, scanning every pavilion with his eyes.
"Since the last time we learned about his assassination, Youguo has blocked the news. We still don't know what is going on with him. If he dies, many things will have to be done in advance. If he doesn't die, he is still planning something. What a conspiracy."
He Jung said the purpose of today, to explore King You's current state. Naturally, everyone would be happy if he died. But if he didn't die, we would have to see what kind of state he was injured in.
"I understand, follow the Immortal closely. There are the most patrols here. Further inside is the harem, and there are fewer guards. The martial arts and agility of the eunuchs are different from those of the palace guards."
Taking a deep breath, he understood the truth. Although it was different from what he thought, this god seemed not as aloof and omnipotent as in the legend, but the other party's purpose was the same as his own, to overthrow the You Kingdom and kill You King Nie. Jin.
"In front of you is Hanyuan Hall, where King You sleeps. He should be sleeping now." Yao Zongwen reminded He Jung in a low voice as he climbed over the guard post and bypassed the eunuch's patrol.
"You first find a place where it's not easy to be discovered. I'll go get the information and then we'll meet up." He Jung arranged for Yao Zongwen to prepare for a solo adventure based on his high martial arts skills.
"Exalted Immortal, be extremely careful. King You knows how to do magic. It's not the first time there are assassins, but they can't do anything to him." Yao Zongwen reminded, this was also the reason why he asked if it was worth it before. I don’t believe that a monster like King You can be assassinated.
This is also true. A self-directed and self-acted scene is just to win the sympathy of Queen Si Qinning. There is no assassin at all, but He Jung not only wants to know whether he is dead, but also what he plans to do.
"I'm not going to assassinate him, I'm just looking at his current condition. Don't worry, I won't expose myself." Even if he doesn't use any magic, He Jung still has this kind of confidence. He is also the best in mortal martial arts.
After finding a hiding place, He Jung slowly approached Hanyuan Hall under the cover of darkness, easily avoiding the traps and the sight of the eunuchs.
Since King You has great magical power, there are few eunuchs to protect him, so He Jung and he arrived on the beam of the house smoothly.
"Trash, a partial master made this guy Zhong Mingbin give up the Heshan Road, ah!" The hysterical King You shouted unwillingly.
His cold face became extremely gloomy, like an evil ghost, and his emotions were vented on the middle-aged eunuch, making Xu Houde tremble.
As the King of You, Nie Jin was naturally extremely angry as You Kingdom was in such a state of besieged on all sides. He could easily handle attacks from any direction, but now there was pressure from all directions.
Not to mention the north, Li Pingyuan is a tiger and must devote a lot of energy to deal with it. After all, the opponent is starting a national war and dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops. This is the most threatening part.
At this time, the three wolves came over. Zhuang Xun in the east bit through the barrier of Youguo. There were three roads in the east and the eldest prince Nie Xu in the south. They bitten off the population, whether it was conscription, engineering, or even People are needed to feed the demons, and now Zhao is sending troops to cut off his granary. This makes King You angry.
Without the population and mountainous dangers, it's okay. We can just recapture it later. But without food, a mutiny by the frontline soldiers is just around the corner.
"Your Majesty, calm down, calm down. There are still three realms that have not been lost. We still have a chance to win them back. Shouldn't we use the capital army to prepare a strange army? Now Zhuang Xun is going against the grain in the three realms in the east. Many aristocratic families have been looking forward to Master Wang for a long time." Xu Houde He kowtowed and said comfortingly.
He Jung's eyes widened when he heard this, and he listened more seriously. He ate melon until he got home, and for a moment he wondered if he knew he was there, so he deliberately told him this.
"Is there three paths in Jingting?" Nie Jin sat on the dragon chair and tapped the armrest with his fingers, feeling uncertain.
"All the local aristocratic families are looking forward to Master Wang's arrival. They have agreed to cooperate with the uprising and help Master Wang recover the three roads of Jingting. This is much easier to recover than the two in the south who do not help each other." Xu Houde hated Zhuang Xun and was naturally eager to do so. The trouble came to Zhuang Xun.
He was not very broad-minded in the first place. He failed to frame Zhuang Xun and was abandoned by Qingliu. He fled to Youguo. He was poor and desperate. He came to the palace and became a eunuch. Naturally, his sufferings were all attributed to Zhuang Xun.
To this day, he still blames Zhuang Xun for not recommending him, and he still doesn't regret that he framed Zhuang Xun for his promotion. He only hates why Mrs. Jiang appeared to disrupt the situation, and he only hates that King Yu doesn't know people well.
Now that he had the opportunity to add insult to injury to Zhuang Xun, of course he did not hesitate to use his words to guide King You to attack Zhuang Xun. He and Zhuang Xun originally had a grudge.
"I think their interests have been harmed by Zhuang Xun. He measures the land and pays taxes according to the land. How dare these people, who want money at the expense of their lives, be willing to accept such conditions. He wants to welcome me back to the southern border. There seems to be no difference between me and Nie Xu among those aristocratic families, so no one takes sides. The last time the Prince of Nanyue County was afraid of being killed by me, I figured it out."
Nie Jin sneered and said, why are the three aristocratic families in the Eastern Territory so willing to come back, looking like they are eating out of the pot? Not only are they doing it for profit, but also the aristocratic families in the Southern Territory, who are not helping each other. This is the reason why he wants to compare. All clear.
"So, taking back the Eastern Territory, which has many basins and also produces grain, can also solve the urgent needs of the northern battlefield." Xu Houde wished Zhuang Xun was dead.
"The eastern border is nothing to worry about. The Daojun in the eastern border is easy to defend and difficult to attack. There is no geographical advantage in taking the initiative to attack. If Yu Guo and Zhuang Xun are smart, they can seize Canglin Road and defend the three digestions. Now these aristocratic families are suffering No, it means that’s what he did.”
King You had his own ideas, and his ideas were correct, which was what Zhuang Xun had prepared in the first stage, to guard the checkpoints, do his best to digest the land and population of the three roads, and then participate in the battle for the throne of Yu Kingdom.
King You had his own ideas, and his ideas were correct, which was what Zhuang Xun had prepared in the first stage, to guard the checkpoints, do his best to digest the land and population of the three roads, and then participate in the battle for the throne of Yu Kingdom.
"As long as You Country is stabilized, I can get it back sooner or later. On the contrary, Nie Xu in the southern border poses a far greater threat to me than Zhuang Xun.
I have already killed all the members of the clan, and the only one who is currently in trouble is Nie Xu from the southern border. If he is killed, there will be no one in Youguo who can compete with me for legitimacy.
Also, starting from the south to the west can save half the time compared to going from the east to the west. It can expel Zhao and solve the supply problem for the northern army. There are still some Daojun in the south who have not surrendered, so it is better to cover up their whereabouts. "
Nie Jin has made a decision, mainly because he and Zhuang Xun have no hatred. Although Zhuang Xun is Li Pingyuan's son-in-law, the hatred is far worse than that of his own brother. Before going abroad, he must first settle down at home.
"The emperor is wise, but the slaves are ignorant. They are not as far-reaching as the emperor thinks." King You made a decision, and Xu Houde immediately agreed with his experience in the palace.
"If you can figure it out, you are no longer a slave. You go to Xuanwu Yaohou and General You to see me in the palace tomorrow morning. I have a secret to pass on to him, and I will make Zhao Guo pay the price." King You decided that today's information will also let Zhao Guo pay the price. He knew there was no room for dragging it out.
"My slave obeys the order." Xu Houde was unwilling, but on the surface he was still respectful and flattering, and it was common for him to insult King You.
"No one can reveal this top secret, understand?" King You's tone was cold, and Xu Houde could hear the faint murderous intent in his tone.
"This slave understands and must keep his mouth shut." Xu Houde thought inwardly and immediately promised.
"Okay, let's get down."
He Jung, who was standing on the beam outside the door, breathed a sigh of relief and did not choose to attack Zhuang Xun. This was for the best. Even if he was prepared, it would not be a good thing to waste Zhuang Xun's strength.
Just when he was about to withdraw, he passed on the news that King You was not dead yet, reminding Zhuang Xun that he should be prepared for various situations that he might encounter.
After Xu Houde left, he saw King You also leaving Hanyuan Hall and not wanting anyone to follow him. Where was he going so late?
He Jung hesitated for a moment and then followed him. He was far away, hanging on his path, and He Jung followed him to a palace. There was no one guarding it, and it looked dilapidated and deserted on the outside. It should be what people often call a cold palace.
The skilled man was bold. He also followed King You into the palace. The things inside were in a mess, but he didn't pay attention. He stayed at the door and tried not to be in the same room with King You. He knew the dark palace clearly. I saw King You pry open a secret door and walk into the basement.
He cautiously walked to the entrance of the basement, but did not go down because the entrance he glanced at showed that the passage was narrow, only enough for one person to go down, and he would be discovered if he went down.
After listening for a long time, I couldn't hear anything. The sound insulation measures below were very good. Even if He Jung's hearing was good, he could hear the whispers inside the door on the beam outside the door, but he couldn't hear it in front of the basement door. When something came out, he frowned and hid behind a pillar.
He waited patiently, and not long after, King You came out wiping his bloody hand. The blood stained the scroll and turned into wisps of smoke.
This is spiritual blood. He Jung, who was hiding behind the pillar, immediately judged that the internal composition of spiritual creatures is a mixture of spiritual energy and flesh and blood, so after the monster is killed, it will transform into an uncultivated size, and its huge body will be like gas escaping.
Excluding King You himself, there must be a spiritual creature in the basement. With the blood in King You's hands, is it killing demons or cultivators? He Jung had endless doubts in his heart.
After closing the door to the basement, King You strode away without noticing anything. He Jung did not open the door to the basement immediately. Instead, he was watching, weighing and thinking.
If you go down there, you may discover a big secret, and you may also expose yourself. The basement is so narrow that you can't use it at all.
An hour and a half later, he withdrew, because considering that there was a demon immortal on the other side, the goal was achieved. It was enough to find out the life and death of King You, and even learn that King You was preparing to lead troops to destroy his brother in the south.
He never expected that the demon fairy he was afraid of would be imprisoned in the basement right in front of him, and that his crazy son would absorb his divine power.
After he left this cold palace, King You returned soon, touched the pillar where He Jung was hiding, and made five-fingered palm prints with his fingers.
Taking a deep breath, King You opened the secret door again, went down step by step, and came to the beautiful woman again. The beautiful woman's belly was full of bloody and fleshy granules. The blood had solidified. The immortal's body began to recover, and even his clothes began to repair themselves. .
"Mother, it's such a pity that the person who came to save you has left. I just absorbed your magical power and I'm thinking of finding someone to try it on." Nie Jin said mockingly.
"Save me? Who?" The beautiful woman raised her eyebrows and recalled her familiar friends, but she couldn't find any of them.
"I'm still pretending. Although I haven't cast any spells, who else can make me feel in danger besides your friend Xingjun?" King You said feeling slightly humiliated. He was someone who was unwilling to be inferior to others.
"I'm not familiar with them, I'm just a colleague. Aren't you very capable? Why don't you keep him?" The beautiful woman also wanted to know who was going to save her. If she could get out, she must save her kiss in front of her. The son chopped it into offal and fed it to the dog.
"If he steps into my trap, I will definitely keep him. It's a pity, it's a pity." King You sighed and said that he deliberately lured people to this place just to keep him, but it was a pity that the visitor was too vigilant.
"Oh, if Xingjun had come, you would have died a long time ago." The beautiful woman said scornfully, using her blood to cast some spells, even if she used her own magic power, it would seem overestimating her ability to compete with the serious Xingjun.
"Isn't the queen mother also a star king? Western Qisu, Bi Yuewu, the rumored star kings with powerful magic are also trapped here. It doesn't matter if there are other star kings." The mother's contempt aroused King You's rebellious mentality. He directly gave the example of the beautiful woman in front of him.
"Only when you suffer a big loss will you understand that there is a world outside the world and there are people outside the world. Your flamboyant personality will eventually lead to your self-destruction."
The beautiful woman concluded that in this world where there are immortals and Buddhas, and a world where kindness is the standard, how could there be a situation where monsters could cause trouble for hundreds of years? Nie Jin was born in the wrong place.
"I'm waiting. I am the Son of Heaven and I am invincible. Haven't you already set a good example?"
