"I had married her a few years ago, but we didn't know each other's identities at that time."
In the Yantang Hall, Zhao Huai's voice was not loud, but it hit everyone's minds like a deafening sound.
Faced with Zhao Huai's showdown, Dayan officials and many of their subordinates learned such heavy news.
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear. Even the usually elegant Song Zhishu was also very surprised.
The Empress of Daxia is actually the wife of His Highness the Crown Prince!
It seems that the news circulating outside is true!
"Your Highness."
The surprise was followed by a long silence.
If this is true, then what thoughts should His Highness have towards Daxia?
Tolerance or hatred?
Zhao Huai glanced around and saw the expressions on everyone's faces, showing a hint of helplessness.
He took a breath and said seriously: "The reason why I personally admitted this matter is because I don't want to cause too much controversy internally, otherwise I will take advantage of the people behind the scenes."
Everyone was still thinking and did not respond.
I was so immersed in the news of this re-listing that I didn’t react.
This is actually a very normal thing.
Even when Zhao Huai learned about this incident, he was hesitant on both sides.
Not to mention them.
Problems are always there and can be hidden and avoided, but they will eventually explode.
Now in the Great Flame, his prestige is well deserved, and no one can replace him. They will do whatever he says.
So he is confident that he can survive this crisis.
However, if the controversy is left alone, the rumors will continue to be amplified, which will undoubtedly intensify internal conflicts, and Dayan's cohesion will further decline. Perhaps this is the real purpose of the black people behind the scenes.
Regardless of whether he ignored it or not, the other party's goal had been achieved.
"No matter what the truth is, I stand with His Highness the Crown Prince."
Song Zhishu was the first to express his position.
His eyes were very serious as he explained:
"The Empress of Great Xia is a wise master. It may not be a bad thing for His Highness the Crown Prince to take a wife as his wife. I believe His Highness the Crown Prince can give a perfect answer."
As his words came out, many people also had some strange thoughts.
"Yes, Mr. Song is right. Your Highness the Crown Prince is handsome and charming. Even the Empress of Great Xia cannot resist His Highness's charm. If you want to restore the country, wouldn't it be more convenient, don't you think?"
"Could it be that this is all His Highness's plan?"
"It's very possible. If the Empress of Daxia is captured, wouldn't Daxia belong to His Highness?"
"This wave of blood is so profitable!"
The discussion gradually became heated, and many people thought about it, and for a while they seemed to feel that it was indeed not a loss.
The atmosphere at the scene gradually became lively.
Zhao Huai also breathed a sigh of relief.
In contrast, the reactions of Zhou Ping, Dongfang Xuan, and Granny Su Li were very dull.
But thinking about it, it was normal for them to have no reaction. When Great Yan fell, their hatred for Great Xia was not that heavy.
Don’t they have any extra hatred for Daxia?
Zhao Huai looked at Dayan's officials and couldn't help but feel doubts in his heart.
They were relieved so quickly, which exceeded their expectations.
Seeing this, Song Zhishu guessed Zhao Huai's thoughts, so he sent a message: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, this is normal. Most people actually don't have the overwhelming hatred for Daxia as imagined, but more of a kind of hatred." The memory of Dayan, the grace of knowing someone, and even the longing for the future."
"As long as His Royal Highness is here, hope will always be there."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai finally understood and understood clearly in his heart.
He has always regarded his status as a prince as a burden, even a burden.
This was what he thought when he first came to this world.
He did not want to avenge his father because it was too dangerous. At the same time, he did not assume the identity of the prince.
Because this is Dayan's hatred, not his Zhao Huai's.
Now, through various coincidences, he has finally reached this position. At first, it was just for profit, stemming from the benefits of being a prince.
As time went by, he gradually integrated into the identity of the prince.
Now I feel the same way. It turns out that many things I took for granted at the beginning.
The reality is not as troublesome as imagined.
He couldn't get along with himself at all.
At this time, a young official came forward and cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, we are loyal to Dayan and we will never regret it until we die!"
"Me too!"
"Same goes for my subordinates."
Slowly, more and more officials expressed their feelings, and they obviously did not mind the fact that Zhao Huai married the Empress of Great Xia.
In fact, most people are just trying to make a living, and for the sake of power and status, no one will struggle with their future.
Zhao Huai also knew this.
The existence of great inflammation is the truth.
Seeing that the situation had stabilized, Song Zhishu said:
"The most urgent task is to find out who is stirring up this muddy water."
"I guess that not only Great Yan, but also the Empress of Great Xia must be deeply involved in the swamp of public opinion, and may even have a greater impact than the Crown Prince. What does Your Highness plan to do?"
How to do?
This problem really stumped Zhao Huai.
The enemy is in the dark, but he is in the light.
If he is still so troubled, it will be even more difficult for Daxia to completely quell this turmoil.
Madam said so in her message.
King Changning may have colluded with the Demon Sect to rebel in Daxia.
On the one hand, the price of salt has soared and people's hearts are unstable. With Madam's strength, it is more than enough to deal with the demonic monks, but if she wants to face the rioting people, she may still have a lot of resistance.
As he thought about it, Zhao Huai got an inexplicable headache.
"It would be nice if the military advisor was here."
Suddenly, Zhao Huai thought of a certain white-haired woman.
If Yin Nanyu were here, these problems might be solved easily. Her mind is the smartest that Zhao Huai has ever seen. She can't hide her plans or anything.
Where did she go?
Song Zhishu had always been Zhao Huai's capable subordinate and knew his preferences and habits very clearly. At this time, he only saw Zhao Huai glance at his side and knew what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, are you thinking of a military advisor?"
"Yes, if the military advisor is here, maybe these things can be easily solved." Zhao Huai said calmly.
No matter what, Yin Nanyu's work ability and planning ability were among the best he had ever seen.
"A few days ago, someone came to the house to report the news. The news said that something happened to Yin Nanyu and was imprisoned in Xizhou."
"I specially asked people to track down the person who reported the news, but unfortunately, nothing was found."
Hearing this, Zhao Huai frowned and said: "What exactly happened in Xizhou? All kinds of traces and clues lead to it. I have to suspect that a drastic change is about to happen."
He really wanted to go to Xizhou, but his reason told him that this was not the right time.
"Daxia is finally stable, and now there are such rumors. Your Highness had better go to Daxia to check the situation."
After listening to Song Zhishu's words, Zhao Huai nodded thoughtfully.
Then, a report from Sergeant Dayan came from outside the house.
"His Royal Highness, there are a few soldiers sneaking around. We suspected that they were spies sent by Daxia, but he quickly overturned a few of us and left the compound."
"What?"
When Zhao Huai heard this, he realized that there was such a thing.
So he ran out quickly and glanced at the soldier lying on the ground in the compound, his eyes turned cold.
It seems that the other party has ambushed someone within himself.
Maybe he is the one who spread this rumor, and he can follow the clues to find the mastermind behind it.
Thinking like this, the consciousness in his mind spread out and turned into a big net.
Sure enough, I saw a few strange soldiers running away towards the main entrance.
He jumped up, tens of meters high, and went directly to the front yard to wait in advance.
Zhou Peng, Dongfang Xuan and others saw this and followed suit.
"Take it! Take them all!"
Yan Tang, which had not calmed down for long, was now in chaos again. The commanders and commanders of the Great Yan Dragon Riders were busy arresting people, holding long swords and showing murderous intent.
There were about a dozen soldiers in ordinary clothes surrounding the middle.
The aura on their bodies was very strange, their qi and blood were very strong, and they also vomited blood and qi on their bodies. They looked like monks, but they were different.
He obviously looks like a human, but something feels wrong.
If you don't pay attention, you won't notice it at all.
Zhao Huai's body was very light and he landed on the ground. There were several Nascent Soul powerful men guarding him behind him. The lineup was very good. Even if the powerful God Transformation came, there was nothing he could do to Zhao Huai.
An ordinary Great Flame soldier suddenly rose up, grabbed a sharp spear on the ground, and burst out with astonishing speed, like an afterimage, and stabbed straight at Zhao Huai.
Zhao Huai had no expression on his face and raised his hand to shoot out a sword energy.
"puff!"
In the blink of an eye, the sword energy penetrated the opponent's heart, splattering three feet of blood.
But the strange thing is that the Great Flame Soldier did not fall, and his spear was still swift.
This made Zhao Huai's eyes flash with surprise.
At this time, Granny Su Li flicked her purple sleeves, and a huge strange force burst out.
The Great Flame soldier was directly thrown away.
He fell heavily to the ground.
If it were a normal person, even a golden elixir monk, this blow would be fatal enough, with all the internal organs, bones, and meridians destroyed.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to stand up.
But this Great Flame Soldier stood up straight, a trace of blood flashed in his eyes, and his pupils glowed with a strange red color.
"Something weird."
Zhou Ping on the side muttered first.
"He seems to be not a human, but a demon." Dongfang Xuan, wearing a black veil, echoed.
"Monster?"
Granny Su Li was well-informed, and she could see where the other party was coming from, and her eyes were very puzzled.
How come there are monsters in Zhongzhou?
The blood in this Great Flame soldier seemed to flow, and all of it penetrated into the soldier's body, and he rushed over again with a spear.
This time, Zhao Huai became serious, magic power emerged from his fingertips, and he drew talismans on his palms.
With a slight wave of his finger, an electric arc blue ball appeared and flew straight out, knocking the Great Flame soldiers away.
His whole body became very charred, and all the blood that was originally flowing evaporated completely.
The body of the Great Yan soldier was immediately hollowed out and turned into a piece of human skin.
This time, he didn't stand up again.
"It also has to be the thunder talisman in the palm."
Zhao Huai murmured softly.
Seeing that their companions were killed, all the strange soldiers were extremely angry. They opened their mouths with bright fangs exposed and rushed towards everyone.
That look was still very scary.
"Senior, you have to use thunder and fire."
Zhao Huai reminded him loudly.
Grandma Su Li and Yang Biao nodded, and the sparkling mana was fired, and the spiritual energy of the entire compound immediately boiled.
"Fireball."
The most simple and unpretentious spell, the orange-red flames were like a river, washing away more than a dozen soldiers to the ground.
Zhao Huai's hands were full of lightning.
Thunder and lightning shuttles rushed out from the fingertips, fell on their bodies, and immediately turned black.
"Boom!"
For a time, the compound was covered by thunder and lightning, the trees inside turned into grass ashes, and the ground was full of pits.
There were also a dozen more skins on the ground.
Zhao Huai glanced at the thunder in his palm, and then at the dead and clean dirty things on the ground, shook his head and said, "It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined."
"This should be the Blood Demon."
Even though the other party was completely wiped out, Granny Su Li's face was not as happy as she imagined.
"Blood Demon?"
"The blood demon is one of the types of monsters, and it is also a common monster in the underworld."
Granny Su Li explained.
"Is the underworld all like this?"
Zhao Huai has never been to the land of underworld, nor to the world of underworld, so naturally he doesn't know what is inside.
He only knows that the underworld is rich in demons.
He had never seen ghosts, monsters, and evil spirits before, but he had never seen monsters like this.
It cannot be killed by ordinary means, it can only be completely destroyed.
"There are many types of demons in the underworld. As early as five hundred years ago, many creatures that we have never seen were born. All of them are extremely difficult to deal with."
Granny Su Li said in a condensed voice.
"Some people say that after death, people will go to the underworld and live again in another state."
"These are low-level monsters without intelligence. If they encounter those with higher cultivation levels, they will probably be more difficult to deal with. I once encountered a Seven Tribulations Ghost King that was comparable to the human Nascent Soul. Not only did it have an unshakable body, There is also a powerful soul, which is simply unbelievable now. Normal ghosts have no entity at all. It means that he died in the land of hell, and his body became part of his strength."
"What the mother-in-law said should be a combination of evil spirits and monsters, a corpse demon." Dongfang Xuan said in a clear and soft voice.
"This kind of creature, I heard Master once said that a corpse demon once appeared on the sea surface of Nanzhou. Its cultivation was really terrifying. Master spent a lot of effort to kill it."
After listening to the words of the two people, Zhao Huai had a new concept of the underworld, and said thoughtfully: "I remember that the entrance to the underworld is in Beizhou."
"When did the blood demon infiltrate Zhongzhou?"
"Is it possible?"
"Something has happened to the Beizhou altar."
Grandma Su Li sighed.
"No matter what, the current situation is not optimistic. The Wilderness World is already powerful enough. If the Huangquan World is added to it, it will be a disaster."
Suddenly, Zhao Huai was even more worried about Yu Qinghan's safety.
My wife is located in the north, only three states and two prefectures away from Beizhou. If something happens, it will be serious.
He decided to go to the summer capital.
Zhao Huai raised his head, looked at Granny Su Li, Zhou Ping and others, and said seriously: "The troops are divided into two groups. Granny is from Xizhou, so she is naturally very familiar with Xizhou. She might as well explain some of the affairs of the countries in Xizhou. According to the map, or the general situation, when I come back from Daxia, if I can form an alliance army, I can then march against the Shinra Empire."
"Your Highness is going to the summer capital?"
Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan both looked at him, as if they had something to say.
"Yes, you should follow Grandma Su Li. The matter in Xizhou is urgent now, and your strength may be needed there."
Zhao Huai explained this.
Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan could only nod in agreement.
After half a day of repair.
Zhao Huai was ready, stepped on the flying sword, and galloped towards the Xia Capital.
This should be his second trip to the capital.
