What is the relationship between the demon clan and the human clan? In essence, it is the relationship between "food" and "diners". The demons eat human flesh and blood, and the humans eat demon sinews. No one on either side can save fuel. It's just that in terms of racial confidence, the human race is much worse than the demon race. Even though Martial Saint Xu Fengyang started a trend of martial arts practice among the human race, the gap between the races only narrowed and still could not 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?
Zhou Cang didn't delay at all. He took out a pen and paper on horseback and scribbled a brief summary. He immediately sent Feiyu to inform Baishi City. Then a team of cavalry was sent to escort the copper bar and rushed towards Baishi City.
Yang Shiming, the commander of the Western Army in Baishi City, was also surprised, but after carefully distinguishing the authenticity of the copper bar and opening it, he reported it to the Yamen of the Ministry of War instead of reporting it directly to the palace. Because the content in the copper strip let Yang Shiming know that the reason for the letter from the demon clan was strange, but it was not that urgent. It's not something that needs to be decided. The military headquarters seems to be more compliant.
So was it legal for Yang Shiming to open Guoxin before? Of course it is in compliance with the rules. As the commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army, how could he just deliver the copper bar directly to the emperor when he was facing the weird behavior of the demon clan? There is a hostile relationship. If you say it is a national trust, it is a national trust? What to do if you play tricks? Isn't it a big joke?
There is not much content in the copper bar, and the flying feathers can fully carry it. So before the official national letter was delivered to Yuanding Imperial City, Emperor Yang Sheng had already learned through Feiyu's text message that there was new news about the situation that had just subsided in the west.
Yang Sheng read the content in Feiyu no less than ten times. Even though I knew it was correct, I still felt strange inside.
"Wu Kui, you have been in contact with the Monster Clan and have conducted many interviews. What do you think the Monster Clan, or rather the Demon Kingdom, 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 before and continued to defend Tonghu Pass while supporting the cross-water 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 it is impossible to change them. They can also rob and kill us humans. , there has never been a second attitude. It is recorded in the history books that there was once a human nation that wanted to ask for peace, and was even willing to submit to the demon clan as a vassal. But it was 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 no longer possible to support the war by fighting for thousands of miles, and then the current pattern of the human race gradually formed.
This time, the Haoyue Demon Kingdom proposed to send an envoy, but the old slave did not know its intention. But Lao Nu felt that it might have something to do with the fact that they failed to retreat during their previous crazy attack on Xiyuan County. "
Yang Sheng didn't show any surprise after hearing this. Wu Kui said exactly what he thought.
The Yaozu and Nanyuan Kingdom have been neighbors for hundreds of years, and even counting the time of the previous dynasty Qiande, it is thousands of years. I have never heard of demon clan taking the initiative to come as envoys before. This has never happened before in human history.
"Is there anything in Xiyuan County that attracts the demon clan?" Yang Sheng thought about it and couldn't think of any other possibilities. Even if we look back with this idea, the demon clan launched a massive attack on Xiyuan County, as if they were going to capture the city and seize the territory. This can be understood as "clear robbery". Now that we can't rob him, are we sending envoys here to outwit him? Or coercion? Or is it negotiation?
"I don'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 We began to search the documents of Xiyuan County from ancient times, including local chronicles. We also couldn't let go of some legends and stories.
Also focus on checking the area behind Baishi City. Only those who don't get it will want it. If the demon clan is really here for something as we thought, 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, so there is no need to desperately attack the front line of Baishi City. Therefore, it is also speculated that if there is such a thing attracting the demon clan, it must be somewhere behind Baishi City.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
On Wu Kui's side, there should be a secretary in the corner of the study room who is always ready to start writing. It was the clerical officer's job to turn the emperor's spoken words into formal written orders. Afterwards, the emperor confirmed the authenticity and stamped it, and then it was delivered by a special person.
After the paperwork was completed, Yang Sheng looked at it and felt that there was no problem. Then he signed his signature and immediately sent it to the Yamen of the Ministry of War not far away. Although the matter is not urgent, it will definitely take a lot of time to sort out the entire Xiyuan County as he said. The earlier you start, the earlier you will get results. It's best to get the results before the demon clan's envoys come over. Of course, there may be no results.
Wait for the order to be sent away. Yang Sheng seemed to be troubled by this incident, so 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, ready to take a walk in the small garden behind to refresh his mind.
"A few days ago, I read Xiao Shisan's letter saying that Zhang Yan was leading them to build a house and a mountain gate? You know this, right?"
"Replying 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 complete it."
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 studies? What will he 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 Zaxue lineage. In fact, he has been saying it a long time ago. It is said that Zhang Yan's ability has the methods of the Zaxue 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 this jacket at all. "
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, Wu Kui next to him naturally couldn't 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?"
