Chapter 262

Ning Xiaochuan took an intermittent healing pill, and began to slowly refine the pill energy to heal the wounds in his body!

In the study room, there are only Jiangehou, Ning Qiancheng, and Ning Xiaochuan. [First release] They are considered to be the three most powerful people in the three generations of the Jiangehou Mansion, and they can also be regarded as the absolute rulers of the Jiangehou Mansion.

"Qiancheng, tell me! There are some important events that Xiaochuan should understand." Jiangehou said.

Ning Qiancheng looked dignified, and took down a dragon skin map from the bookshelf!

This is a real dragon skin, peeled off from the body of the evil dragon, with dense lines engraved on it, marking the territory of the Yulan Empire's sixty-three domains.

The positions of ancient cities and important towns are marked with dots, the positions of garrisons and dangerous passes are drawn with human figures, and some important places are marked with red dots.

In addition to the territory of the Yulan Empire, the map also marks the dynasties, kingdoms, and federations around the empire. Some small countries are as big as a "domain" of the Yulan Empire, and some small countries are only as big as a fingertip on the map. .

"In the west, there are a total of forty-eight dynasties of the "Three Grade Civilization" attached to the Yulan Empire. However, not long ago, the troops of 30 of them gathered at the frontier fortress, and the total number of dynasties totaled 17 million. The sailing city on the western side of the empire is staring at it, and it has the potential to swallow mountains and rivers."

"If so, the Allied Forces of the Thirty Kingdoms will come to the east. The three western regions of the empire will be plunged into endless wars. At that time, the people will be displaced, their bones will pile up into mountains, and their treasures, money, food, and women will all be robbed. Even if the imperial lions go The suppression does not take a few years, and it is impossible to calm down."

Ning Qiancheng marked thirty red dots on the map, marking the location where the army gathered.

Ning Xiaochuan said: "The resources of those third-rank civilizations are limited, and their martial arts are backward. Even if they are assembled into a coalition army, they will only have an advantage in numbers. They will definitely be vulnerable to the lion army in the imperial palace."

Ning Qiancheng smiled and said: "Xiao Chuan, do you know what is talking about armies on paper? You are talking about armies on paper now. When you actually lead troops to station in the customs, you will find, 'If you have more than 10,000 soldiers, you will become a sea of ​​people'. It is only 10,000 soldiers , just like a sea of ​​people. What is the concept of a 17 million army?"

"Even if the soldiers of the Yulan Empire are all masters with one enemy against ten, how many people can you stop when 17 million troops charge over? When these troops break through the border and enter the empire, what will happen to them?" What a terrible chaos it caused, it's beyond our imagination."

Ning Xiaochuan said: "I'm very curious about one thing. Now the Yulan Empire is in its heyday, with martial arts prevailing, martial lords come forth in large numbers, and all the princes and princes are all powerful and powerful.

Where did these third-rank civilizations come from to dare to challenge the Yulan Empire? Are they not afraid of destroying the country? "

Ning Qiancheng nodded, and said: "This is exactly the reason why I returned to the imperial city. (Starting) Where did these third-rank civilizations come from? Who is behind them?"

The gazes of Ning Xiaochuan and Ning Qiancheng were fixed on Jiangehou who was sitting at the head at the same time.

In terms of marching and fighting, Ning Qiancheng is definitely a brave general and a good commander who strategizes.

However, when it comes to analyzing the situation of the imperial court, controlling the overall situation, and looking ahead, Jiange Hou, an old man who has lived for nearly a hundred years, can see clearly!

This is the human experience!

Jiangehou said: "I am afraid that something big will happen to the Yulan Empire! Within a few years, no more than five years, there must be princes who want to raise troops to rebel."

Ning Qiancheng's expression changed, and he said, "Master Hou is saying that the main messenger behind these third-grade civilizations comes from within the Yulan Empire? Is it a certain prince with power over the world?"

"To be exact, it's a prince!" Jiange Hou said.

The Jiangehou Mansion is already considered one of the most powerful among the major Marquis' mansions. Even the Jiangehou Mansion does not have the confidence to take the throne of Emperor Yulan, and naturally no other Marquis has that ability.

So, only the king!

In the Yulan Empire, there are only four princes who are hereditary kings, and they are the most powerful, King Jinpeng, King Qilin, King Shenlong, and King Peacock Ming.

Of course, since Emperor Yulan ascended the throne, several princes have also been awarded, but those princes are just titles, and after their death, their heirs cannot inherit their throne. Therefore, these princes cannot be compared with the four hereditary kings at all.

Only the Four Great Kings have such a strong prestige that they can command the monarchs of the third-rank civilization.

"Could it be that King Jinpeng is about to seize the throne?" Ning Qiancheng asked.

Jiange Hou said: "King Jinpeng controls the soldiers and horses above the third level of the Yulan Empire, and is the number one expert in the imperial court. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is only a matter of time before he wins the throne of Emperor Yulan."

Ning Qiancheng said: "With King Jinpeng's power in the court and prestige in the army, it is actually a piece of cake to seize the throne of Emperor Yulan, and it doesn't need to cost so much!"

Jiange Hou gave Ning Qiancheng a sneering look, as if to say, boy, you are still very young!

"What do you know? The most difficult thing to offend in the world is not the emperor, but the 'imperial power'. Even if the king's power is overwhelmed by the Jinpeng, if he wants to seize the throne, he must think twice, otherwise he will end up betraying his relatives if he doesn't pay attention. .”

Jiangehou said again: "Besides, is Emperor Yulan really as weak as he appears on the surface? I can't see it. At least the three most powerful arms of the Yulan Empire are in the hands of Emperor Yulan. If King Jinpeng and Yulan When the emperor fights, it is still unknown who will win the battle!"

"In my opinion, if King Jinpeng wants to win the throne, he still needs to play at least three moves."

"The first step is to control the fourth-rank civilization, third-rank civilization, second-rank civilization, and first-rank civilization around the Yulan Empire."

"Although the strength of the small civilized countries is far inferior to the Yulan Empire, they are superior in their large numbers. If they can be integrated, they will be a powerful force."

"The most important thing is that these small civilized countries are far away from the imperial city, and they are the least affected by the imperial power, and are the easiest to control. Judging from the current situation, King Jinpeng has almost made this move in secret."

"The second step is to win over the princes in the court and control the military power of the Yulan Empire."

"The third step is to control the major forces in the imperial city."

"When these three steps are completed, it is time for King Jinpeng to challenge Emperor Yulan! Of course, it is definitely not an easy task to complete these three steps. Without a few years, the situation will definitely not be clear."

Ning Qiancheng laughed and said: "If King Jinpeng wants to seize the throne, our Jiangehou Mansion will definitely go to help. We have long wanted to kill Emperor Yulan to avenge our third brother."

"Idiot!"

Jiangehou snorted coldly.

Ning Qiancheng immediately put away his laughter and grinned, but he didn't dare to refute Lord Jiange!

Jiangehou said: "Xiao Chuan, what do you think?"

Ning Xiaochuan said: "The Yulan Empire is vast in land and resources, and its territory spans a vast area. It is as large as every domain and as small as every town. There are court garrisons. Even if King Jinpeng controls the world's soldiers and horses, it is definitely not a thing to seize the throne. An easy thing, but it may cause chaos in the world, and eventually give the empire to foreigners for nothing."

"If King Jinpeng wants to seize the throne, he will definitely win over as many major dynasties, sects, families, and Wufu as possible."

"King Jinpeng instructed the 30 third-grade civilizations in the west to gather troops and gather at the border, which is to send a signal to the people in power of the Yulan Empire-everyone can start to stand in line! Are you standing on the side of Emperor Yulan? Or On the side of King Jinpeng?"

Ning Xiaochuan continued: "Actually, no matter whether Emperor Yulan is the emperor or King Jinpeng is the emperor, it is not good for our Jiangehou Mansion. Only when the two tigers are fighting each other, we can quietly develop the power of the Hou Mansion. , this is the foundation of our foothold.”

"When the Jiangehou Mansion becomes stronger, both Emperor Yulan and King Jinpeng will only take the initiative to curry favor with us, rather than destroy us."

Ning Qiancheng said: "Xiao Chuan means that none of us support it?"

"At least at this stage, we must remain neutral, and no one will be offended. Unless it is absolutely necessary, don't easily join the team. Once you join the wrong team, you will lose everything!" Ning Xiaochuan said.

Jiangehou nodded and said, "Xiao Chuan has the talent to dominate the world!"

Ning Xiaochuan said: "Master Hou, how is the progress of the acquisition of the mine?"

Jiangehou said with a mysterious smile: "I have already talked with the Qilin King personally. If he had been in the past, he would definitely not have sold it, but recently that piece of mine has been targeted by the Ghost Villa and has become a piece of chicken rib. I easily bought it. The discussion is over. However, the Ghost Villa is a big problem, if we can't solve them, even if we buy the mine, we won't be able to mine."

The corner of Ning Xiaochuan's mouth twitched, but in the end he still didn't tell Jiangehou the truth.

He intends to truly control and establish the Ghost Villa, and then slowly tell Jiangehou about it!

"I know a big man in Ghost Villa, and I have a lifelong friendship with him. I can talk to him." Ning Xiaochuan said.

"Is this true?" Jiange Hou said.

Naturally, he couldn't have imagined that Ning Xiaochuan was the famous owner of Ghost Villa.

Because, Ning Xiaochuan is still too young, even if he is talented and talented, it is absolutely impossible to become a big boss of evil ways.

Ning Xiaochuan nodded and said, "Master Hou, have you heard about the Situ family?"

Jiange Hou said: "The Situ family is the largest forging family in the imperial city. However, I heard that some time ago, the Situ family's forging masters and forging utensils were all looted by the Ghost Villa. I am afraid that their vitality has been seriously injured."

Ning Xiaochuan said with a smile: "I bought those forging masters and forging utensils from that friend at a high price, and used them to build their own forging base belonging to the Jiangehou Mansion, in preparation for the establishment of the 'Excalibur Palace'. "

"good!"

Jiangehou slapped his palm on the table in excitement, and laughed loudly: "I saw you building the Excalibur Palace, and thought it would take at least five years for you to grow and develop. Now you have this group of excellent forging masters and forging tools. Equipment, I am afraid that it will only take a year for the Excalibur Palace to see its first scale and become famous in the imperial city."

"The establishment of the Excalibur Palace is not only to make the imperial city famous, but also to shock the world and become the world's number one forging holy place. The imperial city is just the first step!" Ning Xiaochuan said calmly.
