Above the Jiuli Hall, Yu Zhi, Elder Haoran and others were quarreling over the matter between Elder Furukawa and Chi You, which put the Jiuli Patriarch sitting on the throne in a dilemma and very upset.
Jiuli Patriarch suddenly stood up from his throne and said angrily: "Shut up, I have summoned you to the main hall of Jiuli Palace to discuss important matters of the country and people's livelihood. You are not here to be a shrew in the market, to quarrel and make noise. As princes and ministers, this is the palace hall, not a vegetable market. Take a good look at your appearance. How are you different from that shrew in the market? What else is there? You look like an important official in the imperial court, I see you are treating this king like nothing, that's why you are so presumptuous."
Seeing the anger of Patriarch Jiuli, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent. The entire Jiuli Hall immediately became silent, and the ministers did not even dare to breathe.
It took a long time before he whispered a few words in a submissive voice, "I don't dare..."
At this moment, it was finally quiet in the main hall of Jiuli Palace. Ancestor Jiuli glanced at the ministers present with his peripheral vision.
When the ancestor of Jiuli saw this, he said angrily: "Keep arguing, keep arguing! Why don't you stop arguing? The whole Jiuli City is not chaotic enough, and the Jiuli Palace has not been turned upside down by you. How can you Just stopped?"
Seeing the furious look of Patriarch Jiuli, all the ministers present dared not even breathe. They lowered their heads, like children who had made mistakes, standing there blankly, waiting for their parents. punishment.
Ancestor Jiuli looked at the ministers who were sitting down and bowed their heads in silence. They were like children who had made mistakes. They stood there with a guilty conscience, motionless and did not dare to say a word. Ancestor Jiuli then sat down slowly. Get down and calm down the anger in his heart.
At this time, Patriarch Jiuli said to the ministers in a gentle tone: "I know what you are thinking, but I have already said that even if Chi You is guilty, I will let him wake up before convicting him. , I want him to soberly repent in front of the people of the world. Only in this way can he serve as a warning to others as you wish, instead of just killing Chi You silently in the prison. Among them, death is unknown, and sin is unknown.
As for Elder Furukawa, I have also said that when Chi You wakes up, find out everything, and then convict him, why are you so anxious? Or are you so eager to kill two people because you have bad intentions and ulterior motives? "
Without waiting for any response from the ministers who were sitting down, Jiuli Patriarch continued to say forcefully to the ministers: "Okay, this matter is over here. It has been decided for the time being, and there will be no reconsideration. We will wait until Chi You wakes up. Patriarch Jiuli continued to ask: "Do you ministers have any other important matters to report?"
Hearing this, Liang Ziyin immediately stepped forward and reported: "Your Majesty, it is reported that the Yunmeng coalition forces have passed through several passes of our Jiuli City one after another, and will arrive at our Jiuli City in the near future."
When the ministers heard the words, the word "fear" was written on their faces. They were panicked and talked about it: "How is this possible? Are all our guards and soldiers vegetarian? The Yunmen Allied Forces don't With only one soldier and one soldier, we have reached the foot of Jiuli City."
"What's the use of talking about this now? The top priority now is to quickly come up with countermeasures to prevent the Yunmeng coalition forces from advancing straight in." A minister said in horror.
Another minister said with a look of astonishment: "Now that Yunmeng's army has arrived at the city, can we compete with it just by relying on the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Jiuli City?"
Another fearful voice sounded loudly from among the many noisy voices, "According to what you said, Jiuli City is about to be in disaster. Once the Yunmeng coalition forces attack the city, our lives will be in danger, and countless people in the city will die and be injured. "
Some generals looked at the frightened ministers and said with disdain: "I'm just saying that you ministers who only read sages' books on weekdays are unreliable at critical moments. This enemy army has not yet arrived. Look, I will scare you." What has it become?”
After hearing the military commander's words, a minister seemed to have been greatly insulted. He rose angrily and said insinuating: "Yes, it's because we scholars are so incompetent that we can't even withstand the country's passes, so that the enemy can attack so easily. When we arrived at Jiuli City, we saw that the Yunmeng Alliance Army was about to approach the city."
Chimu Kun, who is the military and political minister of Jiuli, seemed to be greatly insulted when he heard this. It seemed that the ministers' words were accusing him of the incompetence of the military and political minister.
Chimu Kun immediately stood up and explained to the generals and himself: "If it hadn't been for the king's order not to stop the Yunmeng coalition, how could those shrimp soldiers and crab generals have been able to capture so many passes in Jiuli City with overwhelming force? Come to Jiuli City."
Hearing what the general said, the ministers in the main hall who said they were leaving couldn't help but be shocked. They all looked at the ancestor Jiuli who was sitting on the throne with disbelief and confusion, hoping to get a reasonable answer from him.
Ancestor Jiuli stood on the throne and looked at the panic of the ministers under him without saying a word, with a solemn expression and a little thought.
After hearing what Chimu Kun said, Ancestor Jiuli turned to look at him, his eyes sharp and shining with anger. Seeing Ancestor Jiuli's angry eyes, Chimu Kun knew that he said the wrong thing and offended Ancestor Jiuli.
Chimukun hurriedly kowtowed and apologized to Patriarch Jiuli, saying, "I know that I am guilty, and please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Ancestor Jiuli looked coldly at Chimu Kun, who knelt down and kowtowed to him to apologize. The coldness in his eyes made Chimu Kun feel cold in his heart.
Ancestor Jiuli glanced at the ministers who were sitting down, and said coldly to them: "I really didn't expect that a mere Yunmeng coalition army could scare you like this. It seems that you usually live too comfortably. Too many, so that each and every one of you loses your fighting spirit and becomes greedy for life and afraid of death."
After hearing the words of rebuke from the Jiuli Patriarch, all the ministers in the Jiuli Hall immediately became uneasy. They stood dumbly on the spot without saying a word. They all seemed to have done something wrong and didn't even look at their heads. Dare to lift.
After a moment, the cold gaze of Ancestor Jiuli suddenly receded, and the stiff face of Ancestor Jiuli became friendly. He asked Chimu Kun to stand up, and then said to the ministers: "Don't worry, everyone, I The king has arranged everything. The Yunmeng coalition forces have nothing to fear. Since I can allow them to enter Jiuli City unimpeded and attack Jiuli City, I have enough confidence to control all this and allow them to come. No return.”
After hearing the words of Patriarch Jiuli, the frightened people in the main hall calmed down, as if nothing had happened just now.
All the ministers present began to flatter Patriarch Jiuli and praised Patriarch Jiuli one after another. They all happily said to Patriarch Jiuli: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
"It turns out that the king is strategizing and has already thought of a complete strategy and made careful deployments and arrangements. As soon as the Yunmeng coalition forces arrive, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."
After retiring from the court, Elder Haoran came to Patriarch Jiuli's study alone. Patriarch Jiuli knew why Elder Haoran was here? He asked Song Yunhe to call in Elder Haoran, and Elder Haoran took the order and entered. Patriarch Jiuli retreated, leaving only two people in the study for the ensuing secret conversation.
After Elder Haoran bowed to Patriarch Jiuli, he excitedly said to Patriarch Jiuli: "Your Majesty, that person appeared again. Just last night, he absorbed a lot of evil spirits from the Seven Evils Blood Refining Formation. .”
Ancestor Jiuli was overjoyed when he heard this, "It seems his end is coming. I think it's time to close the net."
Elder Haoran said: "In that case, Your Majesty, I will arrange the deployment and lay down a trap. We will only wait for the person who stole the "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic Art" to fall into the trap, and then we will give him a trap."
Ancestor Jiuli waved his hand to Elder Haoran and said: "Don't be busy. The more this time is, the more we must be calm. We only have one chance. Once we fail, we will never have the chance to kill him again." .”
Elder Haoran could no longer figure out the thoughts of Patriarch Jiuli. He said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I feel that the person who stole the "Qi Sha Blood Refining Art" has consumed the Qi Sha Blood Refining Art twice. The evil energy in the formation must have been confused by the mirage poison energy mixed in the Seven Evils Blood Refining Formation. Now, if the thieves come back to absorb the Evil Evil Energy in the Seven Evils Blood Refining Formation, If he is angry, we can catch him by surprise."
Ancestor Jiuli said: "If we set up an ambush now, it will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the thief. You must know that this person is not simple. He can steal from the Demon Suppression Tower that is full of mechanisms and is full of dangers. The "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic Art" shows how meticulous this person's scheming is." Ancestor Jiuli continued: "We must set up defenses the day before that person comes to suck the evil spirit in the formation again, so Only then can we kill him with one blow."
Elder Haoran said: "Your Majesty, how do we know when he will come to the Seven Evils Blood Refining Array next time to absorb the evil spirits in the array?"
Ancestor Jiuli raised the corner of his mouth slightly, showing a confident look, and said in a cryptic tone: "The time is ripe, now I'm just waiting for you to enter the urn."
Elder Haoran was confused when he heard this. From the inscrutable look on Patriarch Jiuli and his cryptic words, he inferred that Patriarch Jiuli had already made comprehensive arrangements for this, but he was not allowed to know the details. However, as a human subject, how could she dare to ask in detail, so Elder Haoran had no choice but to give up.
Elder Haoran asked the ancestor of Jiuli: "Your Majesty, the Yunmeng Alliance Army will attack our Jiuli City in the near future. I would like to ask your Majesty what your plans are for this. Can you tell me a few things?"
Ancestor Jiuli glanced at Elder Haoran and knew what Elder Haoran meant by asking and what he was worried about. "Does the elder really think that this king will fight with the Yunmeng Alliance Army?"
Elder Haoran looked at Jiuli Ancestor and said with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty, once the Yunmeng Alliance Army comes to Jiuli City, then there will be a big battle between Jiuli City and the Yunmeng Alliance Army. It is unavoidable, I dare to ask the king, how will the king deal with it at that time?"
Ancestor Jiuli smiled and said: "It seems that the elder was wise all his life and confused for a while."
"Please express it clearly, Your Majesty." Elder Haoran said with cupped hands.
Ancestor Jiuli walked to Elder Haoran and said softly to him: "It depends on Chi You whether he can prevent the outbreak of this war."
The words of Patriarch Jiuli made Elder Haoran suddenly realize that in the past few days, he had only been supervising the Qisha Blood Training Formation and had actually forgotten about Chi You.
The depth of the city of Jiuli Patriarch and his meticulous thinking made Elder Haoran have to look at him with admiration. In the past, when Jiuli was peaceful and peaceful, he never knew that Jiuli Patriarch had such talent and could actually control Jiuli City. Everything is controlled in the palm of his hand. In the past, he thought he knew the ancestor Jiuli very well. Now, after the scroll of "Seven Evil Blood Refining Magic" was stolen, he realized that his knowledge of the ancestor Jiuli was just The tip of the iceberg, so to speak, turned out to be that he didn’t understand Patriarch Jiuli at all.
The reminder from Patriarch Jiuli made Elder Haoran finally understand why Patriarch Jiuli was so calm and unhurried when faced with the pressure from the Yunmeng coalition troops. This is why the ancestor of Jiuli asked all the pass guards to let the Yunmeng coalition troops come to Jiuli City unimpeded. He was a drunkard who didn't care about drinking.
