Chapter 226 Barbarian Conspiracy (8000)
The whole room was shrouded in golden light. When Eunuch Wei saw this, he knew that the emperor must be talking about something important, and his face became serious.
"Alas..." The King of Chu retracted his hand, put his hands behind his back, and sighed silently: "I want to give them a good way."
Eunuch Wei was stunned when he heard this. After reacting, his brows were furrowed.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"How long will it take to conquer the barbarians?" The King of Chu asked: "Don't say that you only take care of internal affairs. You know these things better than many masters of using troops."
Eunuch Wei thought for a while and said: "At the earliest, it will take six months, and at the latest, it will take a year."
Although the Great Chu State has now gained an absolute advantage, this is a war.
There is no simple war, and it is not said that the war can be finished in two or three days. This is just Eunuch Wei's conservative estimate.
"Then what will happen after the war?" The King of Chu asked again.
Eunuch Wei continued to answer: "Of course, it is to unify the whole world. After stabilizing it, we will march into Gui City and connect the world and Gui City together, so that resources can be inexhaustible and circulate endlessly."
The purpose of unifying the world is ultimately for Gui City, and the purpose of unifying Gui City is to allow resources to circulate.
A long, long time ago, in the era of resource depletion, although Eunuch Wei did not witness it with his own eyes, it can be seen from some incomplete ancient books that it was miserable.
If you don't want to suffer the same in this era, you can only use this method.
The King of Chu nodded, indicating that Eunuch Wei was right: "Then how to enter the Gui City, just rely on those circular patterns? Just relying on those, even if you collect them all, it is impossible for the whole world to go together."
Eunuch Wei was silent.
The circular pattern is the key to entering the Gui City, but the circular pattern has an upper limit on the number of people. Even if all the known circular patterns in the world are found, it is impossible to transport all the masters.
These are rules and facts that cannot be changed.
But Eunuch Wei heard from the King of Chu that there seems to be a new method.
"What is my profession? I am an emperor." The King of Chu said, "When I unify the whole world, I will be able to gather all the dragon energy in the world and break through this rule."
"And by that time, as the first people to break through the rules, everyone can have a bonus in combat power, which is absolutely beneficial to us."
Eunuch Wei nodded. It is indeed beneficial. It is undeniable that if everyone in the world can get a bonus in combat power, the benefits are not small.
But what does all this have to do with what the King of Chu planned tonight?
The King of Chu said slowly, "I can't say it."
Eunuch Wei was stunned and didn't understand.
"No... Your Majesty, are you kidding us?"
"You can't say this either, then why do you still seal this place?"
"I really..."
Eunuch Wei's forehead was throbbing with blue veins. If the person in front of him was not the Emperor, he might have fought him with a big fight.
"Ahem." Emperor Chu pretended to cough and said, "Isn't this what I learned from General Mu? You have to be cool. Anyway, don't worry, I will never have bad intentions towards them. This is all for their own good."
Eunuch Wei looked like he had a headache: "Really can't tell?"
Emperor Chu shook his head: "Really can't tell, don't force me anymore, I don't plan to tell anyone about this."
"Alas..." Eunuch Wei sighed.
He knew that if Emperor Chu really didn't want to talk about this, no matter how much he asked, he wouldn't get an answer.
In Xu Bai's words, the riddle man deserved to die!
"Let's go. You're old, you should rest more. I won't bother you anymore." Emperor Chu waved his hand.
The golden light around him disappeared, and he stepped into the darkness ahead, gradually walking away.
Looking at the disappearing back of Emperor Chu, Eunuch Wei sighed again, and finally slowly closed the door...
...
Royal Treasure House.
Xu Bai held a book in his hand and stared at the progress bar.
The progress bar was moving slowly, but Xu Bai was in a particularly irritable mood.
The reason was simple, there was a special person beside him.
The Ninth Princess was sitting next to Xu Bai, supporting her chin with her hand, looking straight at Xu Bai, and talking from time to time.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with marrying me. Qingxue and Qingmei will also serve as dowry maids."
Xu Bai didn't speak, still looking at the book in his hand.
To be honest, he still felt confused now, especially the woman next to him.
This matter made him a little irritable.
Seeing this, the Ninth Princess stood up, walked behind Xu Bai, put her hand on Xu Bai's shoulder, and then bent down.
"The things just now haven't been done yet. Eunuch Wei wanted to help you take care of the children. Why not... take advantage of this rare good night and rest early."
Xu Bai's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt the back of his head resting on a soft place, and moved forward a little.
But the next second, the Ninth Princess hugged Xu Bai's neck with her backhand and came closer.
Looking at the face of the Ninth Princess, Xu Bai wanted to lean back slightly again, because there was a special place behind him.
"Ye Zi is extremely beautiful, I am not inferior to her. Since things have already happened, let's just let it go." The Ninth Princess said lazily.
"It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, especially for a man like you. Even if you marry ten or eight, it is actually very good. If you have less, people will laugh at you."
Listen, is this human language?
Xu Bai took a deep breath, and then, when he was about to say something, he found that the face of the Ninth Princess kept getting closer.
Next, a thousand words were omitted.
…
The next day.
When the Ninth Princess dressed Xu Bai, Xu Bai had completely adapted.
His adaptability was very strong. When he came here alone and found himself in a cell, he had already adapted to this world.
Since things have already happened, let it go.
The Ninth Princess hugged Xu Bai's waist from behind and put her face on Xu Bai's back: "After some time, when father's fiefdom is granted, will we hold a grand wedding?"
Before Xu Bai finished speaking, she added: "Add Ye Zi."
The Ninth Princess still had that noble and lazy aura in her bones, which was formed from childhood to adulthood.
Even after the intense activities last night, she still maintained it during the activities.
But the words she said were leaning towards Xu Bai.
"Yeah." Xu Bai nodded, which was considered as an agreement. Suddenly he remembered, and put his arm around the Ninth Princess' waist and asked, "What's your name?"
Since knowing the Ninth Princess, everyone around him has called her this way, but Xu Bai didn't know what the Ninth Princess's name was.
He didn't ask about this matter, it had nothing to do with him, and he was too lazy to ask, but now it's different. Since it's already a done deal, it's normal to know the name.
You can't just call her the Ninth Princess in the future, right?
"Chu Ling." The Ninth Princess straightened her collar at the time, and while doing so, she said her name.
"Chu Ling..." Xu Bai repeated subconsciously.
Chu Ling narrowed her eyes, and that lazy breath appeared again, hanging on Xu Bai: "It's been a long time since anyone dared to call this name."
After settling in Xu Bai's arms for a while, Chu Ling got up and walked out slowly.
"I'll go out and find some food. It's so deserted here."
Xu Bai nodded.
After Chu Ling left, he picked up the book again and looked at the progress bar.
After exercising last night, he felt refreshed. Of course, he was very restrained.
After all, the Ninth Princess was not strong, not even in the Transcendent Realm, so his movements were not too big.
"After all, with my current strength, it is easy to tear a living person apart." Xu Bai thought wrongly again without realizing it.
Fortunately, when he was thinking, he was still staring at the book, and the progress bar did not slow down.
...
In the following days, because Ye Zi had been in seclusion, Chu Ling came to accompany him every day.
He only knew a general news of what happened in the outside world, and most of the time he was livering the progress bar.
And there were indeed many major events in the outside world, and the most important ones came from different places.
There was a master of the ninth level of transcendence who died of self-explosion due to excessive force when competing for the quota of becoming a saint.
After this news came out, it was initially thought to be a fake, but until it was confirmed, it made everyone feel cold behind their backs.
Especially those masters of the ninth level of transcendence, this incident made them more cautious.
The quota for entering the sainthood is important, but one's own life is also important, so both sides must be taken into account.
Of course, these things can only be a topic of conversation after dinner even among the younger generation, after all, the younger generation is still struggling in the realm of transcendence.
However, many major events have also occurred among the younger generation, and the most obvious are in three places.
Qingyun Academy, Buddhism, and Yunlai Mansion.
The dean of Qingyun Academy, who is also a supernatural ninth-grade master, has already gone into seclusion early to compete for the quota for entering the sainthood.
But there is one more genius in Qingyun Academy.
——Liu Xu.
In theory, there are many people who can act as the dean of Qingyun Academy when he is in seclusion, but only Liu Xu became the final candidate.
Gradually, the legend of Liu Xu in the world began to appear.
It is said that Liu Xu is integrating the evil book with the book of the scholar, and he has actually reached the realm of the sixth grade of transcendence.
If it is really completely integrated, it will be a huge benefit for the scholars in the world.
Of course, let's not talk about success or failure for now, because it is still ongoing.
Another one is Buddhism.
Not long ago, a big thing happened in Buddhism, which cut off the roots of the entire Buddhism.
Now, a monk who returned to secular life has become the life-saving straw of the entire Buddhism.
The name Wuhua is gradually being recognized by people in the world.
It is said that Wuhua has also entered the realm of the sixth level of the Transcendental Realm, and even has a black lotus accompanying him. That black lotus is the future practice path of Buddhism.
This also led to Wuhua's status rising in Buddhism. No matter who dares to touch him, they will become the common enemy of Buddhism in the world.
Finally, it is Yunlai Mansion.
If the first two things are still normal, then the last thing is really outrageous.
Yunlai Mansion has an extraordinary master!
This extraordinary master is a king of a different surname who lives in Yunlai Mansion, named Yun Zihai.
Originally, the world has one more extraordinary master, which is indeed a thing worth celebrating, but this extraordinary master is different.
It is said that on that day, when Yun Zihai broke through to the extraordinary level, he was unexpectedly caught by the dean of Qingyun Academy.
When I was lucky enough to see him, I found that Yun Zihai was thin all over, as if he would not live long.
But after staying in the academy for nearly half a month, Yun Zihai came out not long after. When he came out, he was full of muscles and his body was strong, like a general on the frontier.
At that time, some people said it was because of Liu Xu, because Yun Zihai's current condition was probably caused by those evil books, and it was more likely that Liu Xu had studied the fusion method and made progress.
However, no one knows the specific situation, these are just speculations, but there is indeed one more extraordinary master in the world.
Of course, the most famous one is Prince Xu who still lives in the capital.
However, Prince Xu has been very low-key recently and rarely shows up. The younger and older generations are very confused. This is not this guy's character.
But if this guy doesn't make trouble, they will be a little more relaxed, especially those kings of different surnames.
Don't forget that Prince Xu Bai is a special supervisor of the existence of kings of different surnames. If he really makes trouble, the kings of different surnames can't stand it.
There are many legends circulating, and these are just some of them.
These things are not only circulating in the Great Chu Kingdom, but also in the Great Yue Kingdom.
The Great Yue Palace is still repairing the palace, and the current emperor is Liu Yue.
Why Liu Yue did not fight with Bai Chong, and how to deal with it later, no one in the world knows.
All we know is that suddenly, the Great Yue Kingdom became a vassal state of the Great Chu Kingdom, and everything happened so fast that the spectators said they were full.
That's right, there were originally three major forces in the world, but now there are only two, and the other one is still being beaten.
There are many happy people, for example, the common people of the Great Chu Kingdom.
But there are many unhappy people, such as the barbarians who are being beaten now.
In one sentence, it can be expressed that there are many happy things in this world, but none of them are related to me.
At this time, in the Supreme Tribe of the Barbarians.
Gu Muyin was lowering his head, clenching his hands into fists, and his whole face was ashen.
All around him were his capable subordinates, and the faces of these subordinates were also gloomy. No one smiled, and the whole space seemed very depressing.
"Report!"
A report was heard from afar, and then a barbarian rushed out from outside and stumbled into the tent.
Gumuyin was in a bad mood. After seeing this scene, he shouted angrily: "No matter what time, you must ensure that you are calm enough. How can you be so reckless like this!"
The barbarian spy stopped immediately, knelt on the ground with a snap, and trembled all over: "Deputy leader... Jingfeng tribe... is gone!"
"Boom!"
A murderous aura flowed through Gumuyin's body. Gumuyin stood up and knocked over the table beside him.
The various items on the table rolled and scattered all over the floor.
"Da Chu! Great!" Gumuyin gritted his teeth: "Are you going to kill them all!"
Another tribe is gone. Since the Great Chu started attacking, many tribes have been lost.
But unfortunately, the Great Yue Kingdom became a vassal state of the Great Chu Kingdom, which made the barbarians even worse.
"Pass the order!" Gu Muyin took several deep breaths to calm himself down: "All tribes begin to search inwards, close to the Supreme Tribe."
"Yes!" The barbarian spy did not dare to say anything more and left directly.
After the spy left, a subordinate stood up and asked: "Deputy leader, if this is the case, it is equivalent to handing over the territories of those tribes to others."
The words are indeed so, and the reason is the same.
Shrinking the defense is equivalent to giving the territory to the Great Chu Kingdom for free, and the Great Chu Kingdom can take it without even using a single soldier.
"You just need to do it, no need to ask." Gu Muyin said coldly: "This is the leader's intention, even I don't know why."
The subordinate quickly agreed to him, knowing that what he had just said was beyond what he should ask now.
Fortunately, Gu Muyin did not pursue it, otherwise he would not be able to escape responsibility.
"Deputy leader." The subordinate rolled his eyes: "What should we do with the people from the Great Chu and Great Yue who are kept in each tribe?"
Their people can be withdrawn, but if they take those people with them, it will be a trouble.
"Before leaving, take the pot." Gu Muyin said coldly: "They are all rare and delicious ingredients. Of course, we can't let them go for nothing. Let them see our revenge."
"Yes!" The subordinate agreed.
Gu Muyin waved his hand and walked out of the tent directly.
He looked at the gloomy weather outside, and his face became more and more ugly...
...
The situation is always changing.
Now, the Great Chu is like a sharp knife, constantly advancing.
There are countless pairs of eyes in the world, staring at the battlefield.
These people are smart people. They know that judging from the current actions of the Great Chu, it seems that they don't want to give the barbarians a way to live, and even don't want to give them a way to surrender.
Whether it is the people of the Great Chu or the people of the Great Yue, in fact, there is no opinion on this approach.
In today's world, only the barbarians are the ones who really don't treat other forces as human beings.
They even kept people from other forces captive and used them as food. And it wasn't just a few people who did this, almost everyone in the tribe did this.
Therefore, everyone else took the Great Chu State's actions for granted.
I thought that the next barbarian resistance would be a bloody battle.
But they never expected that before they could recover, the barbarians actually gave up the place they occupied, shrank towards the inner circle, and finally huddled around the entire Supreme Tribe.
This situation is so bizarre that it makes people wonder what these guys are thinking.
Of course, the one who is most concerned about these situations is King Shengyou of the Great Chu Kingdom.
King Shengyou was wearing armor and sitting on a chair, looking at the map in front of him.
Next to him, a young man also wearing armor, with blood on his armor, stood straight next to him.
The biggest feature of this young man is that his eyes are as sharp as two swords.
"Come and take a look, can you analyze anything?" King Shengyou pointed at the map.
The young man shook his head: "I don't know. No one would give up their territory. It is a good thing for them to shrink their defenses, but this will give us opportunities and will not allow us to disperse the attack and shorten the time." time."
This action of the barbarians is so strange that even King Shengyou can't understand it so far.
Jian Tiansi also has secret agents in the barbarian tribe, but none of these secret agents know what happened, and even many high-level officials don't know.
So now, this matter has become a mystery.
"Uncle Emperor, what do you mean..." the young man asked.
Calling him Imperial Uncle, the identity of this young man becomes obvious.
——The eldest prince.
The emperor actually had nine children, but many of them died on the battlefield, except the eldest prince who was still alive.
After the fight of blood and fire, the eldest prince looked calm and sharp, with a different temperament than other royal members in the palace.
King Shengyou smiled: "I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll think about it some more, but before that, I need to surround them all."
It is indeed difficult to think of someone without roots and feet, but since the other party has shrunk into a circle, then surround the other party.
They don't even need to attack, just surround them and let them run out of ammunition and food.
"Yes!" The eldest prince agreed and prepared to leave.
But before he could leave, King Shengyou called him again.
"We've finished talking about official matters, now let's talk about some personal matters."
The eldest prince stopped and looked at King Shengyou in confusion.
King Shengyou said: "Your sister and Xu Bai are about to get married."
The eldest prince's brows twitched, but he didn't show it on his face.
King Shengyou glanced at the eldest prince: "Your behavior is different from Chu Yu. At that time, Chu Yu almost drew his sword and returned to the capital, but why were you so calm? With Xu Bai and Chu Ling, it has become a fact for the barbarians to be crowned king."
The eldest prince said: "Since it has become a fact, no matter how much I say, it will be of no use."
That was what he said on the surface, but the eldest prince clenched his fists tightly.
King Shengyou came to the eldest prince and patted him on the shoulder: "You have followed me at the border since you were sensible. I know that you live a very hard and tiring life. Likewise, you are tense every day."
"Now, when the barbarians are about to be divided, but there is no place for you, are you dissatisfied?"
The eldest prince lowered his head and stopped talking.
But it was obvious that he had acquiesced in what King Shengyou said.
King Shengyou continued: "You can think of the barbarians as a smaller version of Dayue Kingdom."
"Chu Ling is my eldest brother's representative, and you are my representative."
"Everyone should do what is right for him, just like me and my oldest brother."
"You are not suitable for government affairs, but you are suitable for border affairs."
The words fell.
The eldest prince suddenly raised his head, with a look of astonishment on his face.
He heard the meaning, which meant that he would not be crowned king, but he would be able to control the military.
"Really?" The eldest prince couldn't believe it.
King Shengyou patted the eldest prince on the shoulder: "Why, you are asked to take over my duties, aren't you happy?"
"What Chu Yu learned is his mother's trade after all, so you are more suitable."
"Yes, yes!" The eldest prince nodded repeatedly and agreed.
He has been walking at the border all year round. To be honest, if he had to choose between the two, he would choose the border.
There is no other reason. He has long been used to it after living like this for more than ten years.
Habits are something that are difficult to break.
So this answer was more acceptable to him.
"Go out, these are things for the future, let's finish this battle first." King Shengyou waved his hand.
The eldest prince said goodbye and left in a happy mood.
King Shengyou waited until the eldest prince left, but his expression darkened.
He looked at the map in front of him, but what he was thinking about was the barbarians.
The barbarians are not that simple. The three saint masters there are all complete.
The reason why he said it so easily just now was mainly to stabilize the morale of the army. It was only now that he was alone that he showed it.
"Why are they shrinking?" King Shengyou rubbed his brows, sat on a chair, and fell into deep thought.
This method not only caused them to lose territory, but also turned them into a centralized point, better surrounded by the Chu Kingdom.
If King Shengyou encounters this situation, he will definitely not concentrate. Instead, he will let everyone disperse and continue to harass and resist. This is the best policy.
When the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is better to break it into pieces and harass and attack than to concentrate on it.
But unfortunately, the barbarians did the opposite. If there was no conspiracy, King Shengyou would not believe it.
Outside the window, the sky was full of dark clouds.
The more King Shengyou thought, the slower time became.
While King Shengyou was thinking, the Supreme Barbarian Tribe was noisy and crowded.
All the barbarians had surrounded the tribe, but they could not live in the tribe at all, so they were stationed outside.
Gu Muyin was in a wide room, looking at the two people not far in front of him, listening to their conversation, his eyelids kept twitching.
These two people were the leader of the Supreme Tribe and the great wizard, at the same level as him, both of whom were at the Saint level.
Today he came here to discuss how to deal with the Great Chu State, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he felt that the barbarians were doing something that shocked the world.
To be precise, it was not just shocking. If this matter was known to the people of the world, I am afraid that no matter who was related to this matter or not, they would come and spit on them.
But somehow, Gu Muyin actually felt a little excited.
After the two finished talking, he also joined in.
As the conversation gradually deepened, Gu Muyin left after the conversation. Before leaving, he thought about the words of the great wizard.
"Nine people in the human world have become saints, and there are nine people in the Demon City and the Human City, which adds up to 27 people."
"Now, one person has died in the human world, which has shown weakness. We should look at the bigger picture."
"At present, our strength can still last for a year, so we will last for a year and fight for a year."
Gu Muyin was walking and thinking, and almost ran into a passing barbarian.
After he bypassed him, he continued to think until he returned to his room.
Sitting on the chair, Gu Muyin licked his lips and thought excitedly: "One year, one year of bloody battle, all dead!"
...
The barbarians fought back!
It came suddenly and without any signs.
Originally, the Great Chu State had surrounded them and was ready to cut off all their supplies, but suddenly, all the barbarians began to counterattack outside.
This was an unexpected battle, but both sides soon got involved, and the time began to gradually lengthen.
On this barbarian land, every piece of land was soaked with blood, and the soldiers shouted and fought, constantly charging each other.
This battle lasted for nearly a year.
…
One year later, on the battlefield.
At this moment, nine out of ten barbarians have been killed, and there are mountains of corpses and seas of blood everywhere.
King Shengyou sat in the tent, looking at the Supreme Tribe not far away.
There was no one there.
I don’t know why, it was empty.
Logically speaking, it has come to this time, and the three saintly masters of the barbarian tribe should have started to act, even if it was a fight to the death.
But what no one expected was that the result was completely different.
They let their own people die, and only one person, a familiar person, was standing in the sea of corpses and blood, with a smile on his face.
Gu Muyin!
They were all military formations, but now that all the barbarian people were gone, Gu Muyin’s momentum had already fallen to the bottom.
King Shengyou did not feel the presence of the other two saintly masters, frowned, and walked out of the tent.
"Where are the others?"
After arriving in front of Gu Muyin, seeing this former ninth-rank saint who was about to die, King Shengyou was too lazy to say anything humiliating.
Gu Muyin raised his head, his dim eyes staring at King Shengyou: "He's gone... gone!"
Even though his current strength has fallen to the bottom, there is still excitement in Gu Muyin's eyes, as if he is doing something earth-shattering.
King Shengyou frowned even more, and he wanted to ask something, but before he could ask, Gu Muyin suddenly moved.
"Boom!"
A roar was heard, and Gu Muyin's chest collapsed, and he committed suicide here, without life.
There is one more saint in the world.
Seeing this situation, King Shengyou turned around and said: "The leader and the great wizard disappeared, Gu Muyin is dead, send him back to the capital, and let your majesty be prepared, these two guys must be in trouble!"
"Yes!"
A general next to him agreed.
"Return to the barracks!" King Shengyou turned around and led his soldiers to march.
...
The capital.
A letter arrived in the capital and fell into the hands of the King of Chu.
The King of Chu took a look and handed the letter to the eunuch Wei next to him, saying: "The barbarians are gone, but the leader and the great wizard are alive and nowhere to be found."
Eunuch Wei read the whole letter and said: "There are many doubts. Why did they let their own people die? Why did these two people run away again, but only Gu Muyin stayed."
The King of Chu shook his head and said: "I don't know the others, but Gu Muyin stayed to fight against King Shengyou and buy time for those two people. Now it seems that those two people are important."
Originally this was a happy thing, but now these two people have become a headache. If they are not found and eliminated, it will be like putting a nail next to them.
But the masters of the saint level are the top masters in this world. If they want to hide themselves, it is difficult to find them.
The King of Chu said with a headache: "Let's not talk about this for now. Now that we have conquered it, we should deal with the following matters."
"By the way, Xu Bai needs to be involved in the follow-up matters. After all, it involves the fiefdom. How is he doing now?"
Eunuch Wei heard this and said with a frown: "That guy has been living a luxurious life in the past year."
This chapter is very troublesome. It contains a lot of things and is very difficult to write.
