Chapter 207 Enthronement Ceremony
Of the four southern counties in the thirteen counties of Da Zhou, the one closest to the southern border is Guangyang County, which is also Xiao Tianci's old nest.
At the beginning, the reason why Xiao Tianci named Xiao Chen the King of Guangyang was this reason.
His calculus was that even if he and Yan Jilong didn't kill Xiao Chen on Xiao Chen's way to Guangyang County, as long as they got to his own territory, he would have a hundred ways to kill Xiao Chen.
After Xiao Tianci's death, the top general of the 100,000 frontier army in the south of Da Zhou became Xiao Tianci's most trusted subordinate, Luo Sheng.
It is this Luo Sheng who has been in frequent contact with the Tianpeng Kingdom in recent days, making the southern border of Dazhou precarious.
"General Luo Sheng, the 300,000 elites of my Tianpeng Kingdom are now on the border of the two countries. Once you have a war with the Great Zhou and the Little Emperor, we can arrive within half an hour."
In a large tent in the southern border army of the Great Zhou Kingdom, Luo Sheng was secretly discussing cooperation with the special envoy from the Tianpeng Kingdom, Ma Cheng.
There were only the two of them in this empty tent.
The front line leader of the Tianpeng Kingdom this time is the emperor's younger brother, Zuo Mishan, the King of Jing'an of the Tianpeng Kingdom, and the god of war of the entire Tianpeng Kingdom.
And the person who is negotiating with Luo Sheng is Zuo Mishan's advisor, Ma Cheng.
"Mr. Ma, please go back to His Royal Highness King Jing'an. As long as he can help us defeat Xiao Chen, I will give him the right to use Longtan Mountain for one year in a row," Luo Sheng said in a deep voice.
Located in Guangyang County, Longtan Mountain is just a hill with an altitude of less than 2,000 meters.
But it is this hill that makes Tianpeng Kingdom coveted, it seems that there is some secret inside.
When Xiao Tianci was in power, it was not that he did not send someone to investigate the secrets of Longtan Mountain, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Later, the mountain became a bargaining chip that Xiao Tianci used in exchange for peace with Tianpeng Kingdom.
Xiao Tianci agreed to let the people of Tianpeng Kingdom enter Longtan Mountain for three months every year, and Tianpeng Kingdom could not attack Dazhou.
Surprisingly, Tianpeng Kingdom, which has always coveted Longtan Mountain, not only did not send troops to forcibly occupy Longtan Mountain, but happily agreed to the agreement proposed by Xiao Tianci.
After Xiao Tianci died, Luo Sheng took the initiative to raise his stake in exchange for the support of Tianpeng Kingdom in order to avenge him.
No surprise to Luo Sheng, Tianpeng Kingdom agreed again.
After seeing Ma Cheng's agreement, Luo Sheng began to ask a little embarrassed: "Mr. Ma, you should know that Xiao Chen has found a large number of masters to work for, especially that Li Yuanba is more troublesome. The Tianpeng Kingdom should have a way to deal with it!"
Luo Sheng and others didn't know the news that Zhang Han and others came to Da Zhou, and they thought Li Yuanba was the strongest person under Xiao Chen.
Ma Cheng said confidently: "Don't worry, Li Yuanba will naturally be dealt with. What we have to do is to deal with the Da Zhou army."
Hearing what Ma Cheng said, Luo Sheng was also relieved. Tianpeng Kingdom seemed to have a special channel to use a large number of experts.
...
At this moment, in a restaurant in Guangyang City, several shadow guards appeared there.
"Several, I was sent by His Majesty the Emperor to pick you up. Now you can go back to Los Angeles with us," a shadow guard said.
After Xiao Chen ascended the throne, he did not forget the eighteen guards who were extremely loyal to him at the beginning, as well as the palace maids who served him since childhood.
Therefore, he asked the shadow guards to come to Guangyang City and take them back to Luocheng.
After these few people arrived in Guangyang County, they waited for Xiao Chen's arrival at this inn.
It's a pity that they didn't wait, and even thought that Xiao Chen had forgotten about them.
At this time, seeing the shadow guard sent by Xiao Chen to pick them up, he burst into tears of joy.
"His Royal Highness really succeeded!"
A maid named Shi Xueyue gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
She was the oldest among all the maids who followed Xiao Chen, and of course she was not very old.
Since she was seven years old, she has been with Xiao Chen who was only three years old at the time, and now she has served Xiao Chen for thirteen years.
"Everyone, let's go back to Los Angeles as soon as possible, it's not safe here," Shadow Secret Guard said.
At this time, a shadow guard suddenly flew in from the window. Like the shadow guard who just spoke, he was a martial artist.
As soon as he came in, he said: "Ying Thirty-two, you take them back to Luocheng first. I found some interesting things here and need to check."
Ying Thirty-two frowned and said: "But Ying Forty, now Da Zhou and Tian Peng are at war with each other, and there is a possibility of war at any time."
"The main task of our trip is to take them back to Los Angeles. You should know the consequences of violating the order without authorization."
Shadow Guards must obey orders absolutely, this is an iron law that cannot be changed.
Ying Forty said: "In the barracks of the Tianpeng Kingdom, there are many auras of magic warriors, and they are not weak, so I have already asked the general, and he agreed with me to stay temporarily to investigate."
"Magic warrior?"
Ying Thirty-two asked curiously, "Is it someone from the Celestial Snake Cult again?"
The three major sects of the Jagged Dynasty are all demonic sects, while the Serpent Sect is the major demonic sect that has the deepest grievances with Xiao Chen.
After all, Li Yuanba killed one of the other's priests.
However, Ying Forty shook his head and said, "It's not someone from the Serpent Sect, it's probably someone from other major sects of the devil's way."
The members of the Celestial Snake Sect have a strong chaotic demonic snake aura, so they can be identified by their aura alone.
And the masters in the Tianpeng Kingdom's military camp were obviously not from the Heavenly Snake Cult.
Ying Thirty-two nodded and said: "Since the general has agreed, then you can stay and continue to check, do you want me to leave some people for you?"
There were ten people on their trip, eight Marquis and two Martial Marshals.
Ying Forty thought for a while, then smiled: "Then keep five Marquis, anyway, you can't use that many people."
Five Marquis?
Those imperial guards were at a loss, wasn't Marquis Wu the strongest of the Great Zhou?
Is it a bit too exaggerated for these people to leave five Marquis as soon as they speak?
Could it be that the strength of His Royal Highness has reached this level?
The palace maids are okay, after all, they are all ordinary people, and they don't know what Marquis Wu means.
At this moment, Xiao Chen, thousands of miles away, is preparing for the enthronement ceremony that will come tomorrow.
The enthronement ceremony represents the majesty of a country, so it is necessary to be fully prepared, and the pressure on Xiao Chen has also increased.
Although he has asked everything to be as simple as possible, there are still many things that need his approval.
Just as he was sitting in the imperial study room to review the memorials, a systemic voice came from his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting the chance to summon once a month."
The pen in Xiao Chen's hand lightly flicked. He didn't expect that it has been two months, and the time has passed so quickly.
"System, start random summoning now!"
