Chapter 122 The Scapegoat! King of the Northern Territory

…

Wang Shouzhe has always attached great importance to intelligence.

As early as many, many years ago, the intelligence team headed by Family General Wang Mei had already gradually lurked into the territory of the Scarlet Moon Demon Dynasty. With the Wang family's deep financial resources and rich experience, they successfully established a foothold in the Demon Dynasty, developed eye contacts, and built a relatively complete intelligence system.

Of course, for the sake of safety, Wang Mei's intelligence organization in the Demon Dynasty is more grassroots and rarely erodes internally to the children of the aristocratic family. But don’t underestimate the intelligence at the grassroots level. The sense of touch at the grassroots level is also quite keen.

As the saying goes, "The passing geese leave a sound, and the passing ants leave traces." Everything that has happened in this world must have traces to follow.

The "grassroots level" is like the small "nodes" on a spider web. These "nodes" are intertwined and combined to form the entire spider web, which affects the whole body. A lot of useful intelligence can be inferred from subtle changes in these grassroots nodes.

Changes in food supplies, abnormalities in material allocation, or even sudden changes in the original life rhythm and habits of some important people, etc., may be important information.

For example, this time, in addition to reporting on the Little Demon Lord's escape, the information sent back by Wang Mei also contained another important piece of news, which was that several elite clan soldiers of the Chiyue Chao clan had undergone abnormal transfers.

This news is the conclusion reached by Qunxian Palace after conducting a targeted and in-depth investigation after noticing anomalies in many casual details.

After decades of Wang Mei's highly targeted secret intelligence collection on the Chao family and the layer upon layer of "cobwebs" she has laid at the grassroots level, many of the Chao family's troubles cannot escape her eyes.

Especially the information about Little Demon Lord is constantly being updated and strengthened as time goes by, becoming more and more detailed.

Chao Qianjue, male, 309 years old, of the peerless Prodigy Class A bloodline, currently at the fourth level of the magical power realm...

The information book in Wang Shouzhe's hand that was specially used to record the situation of the Little Demon Lord had changed from a dozen pages to a large reading book with hundreds of pages. The person's personality, hobbies, skills, in-law relationships, relatives and friends, enemies, growth experience, etc. have now become more and more complete.

Because the information was detailed enough, he also had a clear understanding of how terrifying and difficult the Chao family was.

The fact that the Chao family has been able to dominate the True Demon Palace for so many years depends on more than just the Demon Lord.

In fact, among the demon kings in the True Demon Palace, there are eight or nine demon kings with the surname Chao alone, and those who are attached to the Chao family. These are only those that Wang has found out and can confirm.

As for whether there are any hidden trump cards that are not known to the public, that remains to be seen.

Under such circumstances, as the most high-profile heir of the Chao family, the resources and connections that Little Demon Lord can mobilize are naturally very terrifying.

Now, as soon as the Little Demon Lord came out of seclusion, the Chao family's elite soldiers began to secretly mobilize, and the possibility of a connection between the two was very high.

It turns out that his mother is Princess Heluo who was born in the Demon Yan Kingdom.

Coupled with the stalemate between the Demon Yan Kingdom and the Liang Kingdom, the hatred between the two sides became more and more intense.

And then related to the Little Demon Lord’s own character and usual working habits...

It can be inferred that there is a high possibility that the Little Demon Lord is preparing to secretly intervene in the war between Yan and Liang.

In response to this possibility, the members of the Immortal Hall conducted a series of secret investigations and clues to verify, and Wang Mei finally came to a firm conclusion, and then reported it to Wang Shouzhe.

Of course, this does not mean that Chao is not cautious enough, it is simply that Wang Mei is doing calculations in the dark without any intention.

Just like those big stars in Wang Shouzhe's previous life, there are countless pairs of eyes watching secretly. Many things they think are secret are often revealed inadvertently.

As for the mobilization of elite battle groups, no matter how covert their actions are, it is impossible not to reveal clues.

"Alas~"

Wang Shouzhe sighed softly.

What should come will always come, and there is no way to escape what must be resolved.

This time, the Little Demon Lord's actions against the Liang Kingdom seem to have nothing to do with the Wang family. However, the Liang Kingdom is a subordinate country of the Immortal Dynasty. Once it falls, it will have a great impact on the strength of the entire Immortal Dynasty, which will in turn affect both the immortals and demons. North Korea's balance of power.

What's more, the mother of that girl Yu Mengyu is the Pearl Princess of the Liang Kingdom, and the Lord Yu Ling who is friends with the Wang family is also from the Jiang family of the Liang Kingdom. Due to both emotion and reason, he cannot just sit idly by and ignore this matter.

In contrast, Daqian's affairs with the demon dynasty's envoys are easier to deal with...

After thinking for a while, Wang Shouzhe took some pieces of letter paper, wrote a few letters slowly, sealed them and ordered them to be sent out.

…

time flies.

After some time.

Chuannan Fucheng, in the temporary [Princess Chuanan’s Mansion].

Wang Fugui held a letter from his grandfather in his hand and looked at Wang Anxin in disguise with a slightly complicated expression: "Grandpa Thirteen, is that really what the grandfather told you?"

"Fugui, we are all here... Could it be that you still can't recognize the seal and secret mark of your ancestor?" Wang Anxin patted his shoulder with a smile, "From now on, your thirteenth grandpa will follow you. ”

Wang Anxin is an outstanding descendant of the "An" generation of the Wang family. Although he is not as good as his brother Wang Anye or his son Wang Ningxi, he has also become the deputy commander of the [Changning Wang's Militia Regiment] by virtue of his own ability. location and was heavily cultivated.

A few years ago, among the second batch of high-level Wedding Clothes Blood Gu obtained by Wang from the Blood Lord's lair, there were fourteen high-level Wedding Clothes Blood Gu essence versions. Wang Anxin got one of them and borrowed it. This elevated the bloodline to the level of peerless genius.

Not long ago, he had successfully broken through to the Purple Mansion Realm, and was considered to be in the second rank of his family.

"Grandpa Thirteen." Wang Fugui felt ashamed, "You are the elder of the family. Wouldn't it be a disgrace to your wealth to say so?"

"It doesn't matter. When I was a child, the person I admired the most was your grandfather, but now it seems that your grandfather is not as good as you." Wang Anxin said with a smile, "Our family has such an important task, but my great-grandfather did not leave it to the seventh brother. Leave it to you, Brother Qi really should reflect on this."

"I suspect that Grandpa Ancestor is deliberately retaliating because he doesn't want me to go back to clan school." Wang Fugui said helplessly, "I just asked the family for help and asked to send some outstanding talents to support the Princess Chuannan Mansion, but they didn't I thought, they were sent here for me, but they gave me a huge task backhandedly."

"What fun is there in ethnic studies?" Wang Anxin said with a smile, "How about you stay in Xian Dynasty and cultivate a relationship with Meng Yu? If that doesn't work, we can send some gentlemen from ethnic studies to give you lessons."

"Grandpa Thirteen, Shangzu study is not just about learning knowledge..." Wang Fugui sighed, "Shangzu study is a rare experience for me, a precious life experience, in which happiness and achievements, Sadness and frustration are all beautiful memories for a lifetime..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Anxin couldn't stand listening anymore, and Mi Tai said: "Wait! It's true that you have happiness and achievements, but can you please remove the words 'sadness and frustration'..."

Who doesn't know that there are two evil academics in the family, one is his son Wang Ningxi, and the other is his grandnephew Wang Fugui. He, the one caught in the middle, is really under a lot of pressure.

I think back then, his grades in clan studies were not bad, but compared to these two, he was simply a scumbag.

"Forget it, since it is the order of the ancestor, then I will go back two years later." Wang Fugui put away the letter and said helplessly, "After I have arranged the Wang talents who came with you this time, I will go back immediately Return to the Northern Territory Palace with Meng Yu."

"You should understand what Grandpa Grandpa means." Wang Anxin said with a serious face, "This matter is of great importance. A considerable part of our Wang family's accumulation has been invested in the militia. If it fails, we will suffer heavy losses, so this time Nothing can go wrong with the plan.”

"Grandpa Thirteen, don't worry. I understand all what Grandpa means. I will live up to Grandpa's trust."

Wang Fugui, who is now a handsome young man, also raised his hand in salute and solemnly made a promise.

A few days later.

Chuannan Princess Yu Mengyu suddenly lost her temper, saying that she had had enough of staying in this hellish place of Chuannan, and after making a big fuss, she clamored to go back to the Northern Territory Palace.

Wang Fugui was naturally helpless and sent her back to the Northern Territory Palace in person.

After Yao's Yungui flying boat returned to the Immortal City, the incident of Princess Yu Mengyu's tantrum blew like a gust of wind into the ears of the major families in the Immortal Capital, and even reached the ears of the Immortal Emperor.

Although the Immortal Emperor did not expressly reprimand Meng Yu, the chamberlain heard the Immortal Emperor's comment, "After all, that child Meng Yu is still too young and needs to grow up and temper himself."

These "inadvertent" words naturally caused Princess Chuannan to cool down suddenly. Many aristocratic families who were originally prepared to invest in advance have also returned to the wait-and-see stage.

At the same time, with the return of Yuan Mengyu and Wang Fugui, a group of related people gathered together in the inner courtyard of the Northern Territory Palace with extremely serious expressions.

"Juli Xuan." Jiang Yiyi, the eldest concubine of the Northern Territory Palace, cried so hard, "Princess Heluo of the Demon Yan Kingdom is a princess, so am I, Princess Daliang Mingzhu, not a princess?"

A genius like Jiang Yiyi, who has outstanding bloodline, is usually titled "Princess" before getting married. Only when she reaches the realm of supernatural powers will she be named a princess and given the official title of "Princess of a certain country".

It's just that Jiang Yiyi is married to the Northern Territory Prince of Hanyue Immortal Dynasty. Although her cultivation level has not yet reached the magical realm, she will be named a princess in advance before getting married, so that her status will be higher when she gets married.

The Princess Heluo from the Moyan Kingdom who married the Chiyue Chao family, except that she was much older than Liang Yiyi, was actually similar to Liang Yiyi in all aspects.

"Madam, don't cry, please don't cry. Let me find a solution for this matter for my husband." Concubine Lixuan, the crown prince of the Northern Territory Palace, looked distressed for his wife, "In the worst case, I will personally lead the Northern Territory Army to support our Liang Kingdom."

"Absurd!" The King of the Northern Territory slammed the table and said angrily, "The Northern Territory Army is a regular army of the Immortal Dynasty. It needs to guard the northern border of the Immortal Dynasty and regularly travel to battlefields outside the territory for rotation. It can be mobilized at will to join the war in Liang Kingdom?"

"Old Ancestor." Yu Lixuan also had a rare moment of toughness. He held his neck and said in dissatisfaction, "The Chao family of the Mo Dynasty can secretly send troops to the Mo Yan Kingdom to support, why can't our Yu family do the same? If our Northern Territory this time The palace is really standing by and watching, let alone those people from the Demon Dynasty who will look down on us, how will Yiyi and I live in the future?"

The King of the Northern Territory didn't look very good either, and said in a deep voice: "Since the Chao family didn't abide by the rules first, our Yu family will naturally not stand idly by. It's just that this matter is of great importance and should not be acted upon rashly. What I mean is that we must first Please ask His Majesty the Immortal Emperor to let her make up her mind. As long as she gives the order, even if the Northern Territory Army marches all the way to Liang Guo, it is not a bad idea."

"But ancestor, Fugui means that this matter must not alarm the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor." Yu Mengyu hurriedly stopped, "In order to hide the public's eyes when I came back this time, I even lost my temper as a princess."

As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on Wang Fugui, as if asking him what the significance of this decision was. Although Wang Fugui is young, his resume is very impressive and cannot be underestimated.

"Elders." Wang Fugui stood up calmly and explained with cupped hands, "According to the information obtained so far, this operation is a private action of the Little Demon Lord Chao Qianjue. We judge that it is very likely that even the Demon Lord We don’t know anything about it. The other party just sent out a little demon king. If we alert His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, wouldn’t this be too embarrassing for him?”

"In addition, the situation on the battlefield outside the territory is now very bad. Both His Majesty the Immortal Emperor and the Demon Emperor intend to avoid friction to avoid another war between immortals and demons. Therefore, when His Majesty the Immortal Emperor learns about this matter, he will probably communicate with the Demon Emperor through some diplomatic channels Communicate, and the Demon King will probably rebuke the Little Demon Lord and order him to withdraw his troops. Then there will probably be no follow-up to this matter."

The North Territory King's expression froze slightly.

He has lived for thousands of years and has seen a lot. He also knows very well the way of "communication" between immortals and demons. He naturally understands that this is indeed the most likely outcome.

But he was still a little confused: "Isn't this a bad result?"

"Liang Guo and Mo Yan have been at odds for generations. This war has lasted for more than fifty years. Both sides have suffered many casualties. Resentment and hatred have accumulated over time, and the war has shown signs of getting more intense. Continue to let this war If it continues, it will be of no benefit to the entire human race.”

"Isn't it?" The Northern King sighed helplessly, "It's just that the two countries of Liang and Yan have new hatreds and old hatreds, and they have deep grudges against each other. Even the Immortal Emperor tried to persuade him many times but couldn't do anything. What's more, even if Liang Guo can listen, Even if I try to persuade you to let it go, Moyan may not be able to let it go."

"In that case, why not take this opportunity to win this war?" Wang Fugui raised his eyebrows and said eloquently, "After all, it was the little devil who broke the rules first. Let's go with the flow, take advantage of the situation, and still be reasonable. Why not? Liang Guo is not only our Immortal Dynasty camp, but also the mother clan of Meng Yu. If we can take advantage of the situation and win a big victory this time, the stalemate between Liang and Yan will be broken. Another war would be beneficial to the overall situation of the human race."

"Yes, yes, we not only want to win, but we also want to end the war." Jiang Yiyi was extremely happy. The more she looked at wealth, the more she liked it. This son-in-law didn't run away!

Compared to Yu Mengyu, Jiang Yiyi, who grew up in Liang Kingdom, naturally has a deeper affection for her mother country.

In fact, Jiang Yiyi has repeatedly hoped that Juan Lixuan would find a way to send troops to support Liang Guo, but due to the current situation, it is difficult for the Northern Territory Palace to do so.

After all, the responsibility of "actively destroying the tacit understanding between the immortals and demons and triggering the next round of war between immortals and demons" is too heavy for the Northern Territory Palace to bear.

Therefore, over the years, the most that the Northern Territory Palace could do was allow Jiang Yiyi to secretly transfer some resources and money while she was returning home to visit relatives, which could be regarded as a disguised form of support.

But this kind of support, in the case of a war between the two countries, is just a drop in the bucket and does not help the overall situation.

Besides, if Jiang Yiyi can do this, Princess Moyan can naturally do the same.

"It's not a bad idea to do it mentally or not." The King of the North Territory was also moved, but he was afraid, "It's just that this matter is hidden from the ancestor of the Immortal Emperor. Is it really appropriate? We can talk to the ancestor. plan……"

"It's better to hide it." Wang Fugui glanced at the King of the Northern Territory and pointedly said, "If she knew, wouldn't she be in a dilemma? What's more, when the time comes, she will fight with the Demon Emperor and pass the blame to us. , you can also be more confident."

Regardless of whether the Immortal Emperor knew about it or not, at least she had to be "uninformed" on the surface.

"Shift the blame?" The Northern Territory King asked in astonishment, "The Immortal Emperor will blame us?"

"No, to be precise, I will pass the blame to you." Wang Fugui looked at the Northern Territory King with innocent eyes, "After all, you are the one in charge of the Northern Territory Palace, and someone has to take the blame."

"Well, you Wang Fugui! It was obviously your idea, why didn't you take the blame?" The Northern King was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "You are the worst kid."

"I am small and have weak shoulders. Even if I am willing to take the blame, the Demon Emperor will not admit it." Wang Fugui explained and comforted, "Don't worry, the blame Chao will take is much darker than yours. It’s much heavier. Compared with them, it’s just a drizzle.”

"Ancestor, you have to make the decision for our Liang Kingdom." Jiang Yiyi started to cry again, "Our Yu family's face cannot be allowed to be trampled by the Chao family~"

"Ancestor, you should take the blame." Juan Mengyu also pulled the sleeve of the Northern Territory King and began to act coquettishly, "I don't want to see our Liang Kingdom suffer."

The Northern Territory King's face turned blue and white.

None of these are easy to worry about.

He glared at Wang Fugui fiercely, and then said helplessly: "Okay, okay, the king will take the blame. However, the Chao family used clan soldiers, and we can't send out regular troops. Just our Northern Territory Within the palace, you can secretly gather an elite battle group in the form of clan soldiers, and the rest of the troops will be up to you, Wang Fugui, to figure out a way for you."

He was indignant in his heart and muttered secretly, "Fugui, aren't you quite capable?" He didn't believe that this kid could solve this problem.

At the end of the day, why don't you come to ask me for help?

"An elite battle group? That's enough." Wang Fugui thought for a while and said, "The rest of the personnel can be seconded from the Wu family, Wang family, Luo family, and Jiang family, and then form a legion, plus us The Changning Wang Family will also send out a battle group this time, and they already have enough manpower."

"Your Wang family is also sending troops?" The king of the Northern Territory was frightened by Wang Fugui. "With your family's conditions, can you afford to send out an elite battle group? Do you know what the meaning of the word [elite] is? The worst All soldiers must be in the Lingtai realm!"

"Yes, our family has a fighting group organized by [Xiang Yong], designated as [Changning Wang's Militia Group]." Wang Fugui said confidently, "What my grandfather means is to let them go to the small village first. Grind on the battlefield.”

Prepared by Xiang Yong? Militia!

The face of the Northern Territory King suddenly became as dark as he wanted.

With this establishment, you have the nerve to use it to fight against the elite battle group of the Mochao Chao clan? You weren't sent here to sharpen your skills. You were sent here specifically to gain credit and fame, right?

Also a "small battlefield".

A battle with the elites of the Demon Dynasty can be considered a small battlefield, so what is a big battlefield? A foreign battlefield?

Too shameless!
