Chapter 317

Although King Bin Xuan was extremely selfish and bold, he also knew the importance of disguise.

For example, he pushed the soul-summoning secret realm to the front to cover up his ghost deployment.

Then he used the water ghost to supervise the ghosts to start a war, deliberately made enemies with the surrounding vassal states, used war casualties to cover up population losses, and guided the local people to share the same hatred and loyally protect the land.

Therefore, even if he was ready to destroy the possibility of peace talks, he would not leave too obvious handles.

He planned to dig up the Qishui River channel to flood the surrounding villages and towns, creating the illusion that the water tribe was brutal and bloodthirsty.

Then he sent his confidants to control the flood, saying that the disaster was caused by the Hengjiang water tribe causing floods and expanding the river.

The next step was naturally to contact the surrounding vassal lords to explain the pros and cons, and plant the illusion that the water tribe was invading at will.

In this way, the State of Chu must express something, otherwise it will leave a weak appearance, and a weak emperor is unable to lead the vassal lords of Chu.

King Bin Xuan did not consider that the King of Chu would join forces with the water tribe to eliminate the problem maker, but since the problem already existed, he could not retreat.

He thought that he would be safer only if he made a big fuss.

Once the situation of fighting against the invasion of the water tribe was known to the surrounding feudal lords, he would have another accident and trigger the peace talks between Chu and the water tribe.

At that time, the local feudal lords would definitely be alienated from the Chu court, thinking that Chu had exchanged forgiveness for the water tribe by betraying the local feudal lords.

King Bin Xuan believed that the King of Chu could distinguish the pros and cons and would not damage the cohesion of Chu, which was already scarce, because of the water tribe.

He thought so and did so.

For safety, he also sent several green-eyed water ghosts to sneak into the mud layer of Qishui to monitor the movements of the water tribe soldiers and generals at all times.

After only one night, he led the ghost soldiers and ghost generals to dig a river channel upstream of Qishui, causing the upstream rapids to flood rapidly.

The consequences of this behavior were very serious, and the rapids would continue to expand the flood discharge outlet.

In addition, Qishui was not an independent river, but a branch of Hengjiang, with enough water to flood a place.

If no one managed it and the river water was allowed to flow back, the continuous water supply of Hengjiang would even affect the territories of other feudal lords.

Looking at the endless flow of water, King Binxuan smiled with satisfaction.

"You guys go to the territories of the surrounding lords and tell them that the Hengjiang water tribe is rioting and expanding the river to flood Binxuan's land.

In order to prevent the water tribe from occupying the land and trying to build a swamp country on the ground, please mobilize the soldiers and take precautions."

"I obey your command."

After the messenger left, King Binxuan took the initiative to report the matter to the King of Chu to prove that he had been vigilant against the water tribe soldiers and generals and to clear himself of suspicion.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened.

I followed your order to monitor the movements of the water tribe, but I didn't expect them to dare to drive the water to open the river channel and try to cause floods to wreak havoc on our Chu territory."

"I wanted to stop them, but the young prince of the water tribe was so powerful that I could only evacuate first.

Your Majesty, please mobilize the troops quickly, otherwise once the land swamp is formed, the people of Chu will suffer heavy losses."

When King Binxuan sent the message, the King of Chu was attending the housewarming banquet of Si Lu Shaoqing with a group of dragons from the water palace.

This news made him quite angry, and he wanted to scold King Binxuan immediately, saying that the young princes of the water tribe were all holding a banquet in the palace, so where did the dragons come from to attack the waterway.

He never expected King Binxuan to be so vicious. How could Chu catch up with the flood water with the speed of mobilizing troops.

I am afraid that before the royal generals arrive, Binxuan County will become Binxuan Water Park.

At that time, for the sake of the face of the country, Chu State had to fight a few battles with the Hengjiang Water Tribe, otherwise it would be impossible to explain to the feudal lords in the country.

After all, King Yunhe was also around Binxuan County. If he was not handled properly, he might lose all his good impression of Chu State.

Therefore, the King of Chu was not prepared to plan step by step. He wanted to take the initiative to deal with King Binxuan with thunder.

"Shaoqing, I suddenly thought of something. With the cruelty of King Binxuan, he might dig up the river and deliberately divert the Qishui River to flood the surrounding land.

At that time, Chu State would have to fight with us a few times to appease the feudal lords in various places.

Although we are not afraid of the soldiers and generals of Chu State, Jinfu Water Palace is just opened and located in the heart of Chu State. There is really no need to consume each other with the soldiers and generals of Chu State."

"I intend to patrol the upper reaches of Qishui to prevent us from being maliciously framed by King Binxuan. I wonder what Shaoqing thinks."

The words of the King of Chu were reasonable, and Zhou Yuan naturally would not object.

But the King of Chu suddenly mentioned this matter at the banquet, which must be because he had received some news. The Qishui River channel has probably been dug up.

For this reason, Zhou Yuan expressed his agreement and was also ready to take action to sort out the waterway and control the scale of the flood.

"What the young master Shuizhi said makes sense. You go to patrol the upper reaches of the Qishui River. General Qiulong and I will patrol the surrounding areas of the Qishui River.

If you encounter someone digging a waterway, you don't need to arrest him, just kill him quickly.

We should use thundering means to deter the thieves, so that King Binxuan will be afraid to act rashly and dare not cause trouble again."

Zhou Yuan did not want to expose the identity of the King of Chu, so he deliberately chose to split his troops into two groups.

This method was exactly what the King of Chu wanted. He had no intention of arresting him, but just wanted to eliminate the hidden dangers as soon as possible and completely control the situation in Binxuan County.

"Your Excellency is sharp and receptive to advice, which is a blessing for our water tribe.

Let me go ahead. If Qishui is fine, we will drink the housewarming wine. If Qishui is in chaos, this will be our victory wine."

The King of Chu drank the remaining wine in the cup in one gulp, stood up and leaped a few steps to leave the water palace.

After the Purple Chi incarnation arranged a group of mixed-blood dragons to guard the water palace, he also went out of the water palace with Zhou Yuan for inspection.

The Purple Chi incarnation has the ability to ride on clouds and mist. The moment he left the river, he controlled the water mist to condense into clouds and rise into the sky, while Zhou Yuan controlled the auspicious blue clouds to travel.

Although the King of Chu chose to go by land and Zhou Yuan chose to ascend into the air, the water ghosts hidden in the riverbed mud layer still discovered their trip.

When the water ghosts reported the news to King Bin Xuan, King Bin Xuan immediately decided to evacuate and sent a message to the King of Chu as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty, the three young princes of the water tribe are going out again. I am afraid that the water will break through more rivers. Please dispatch the surrounding princes to stop them as soon as possible."

"King Bin Xuan is not afraid of danger to scout intelligence, which is a great achievement.

You can temporarily go to Anxuan County for refuge. I will order the surrounding princes to gather in Anxuan County and send troops to quell the rebellion after the soldiers gather."

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. I will thank you in person in a few days."

King Bin Xuan didn't know that it would take some time for the King of Chu to meet him soon.

When he evacuated to Anxuan County, he was still secretly happy that the young prince of the water tribe was on tour, so the lie he said became true.

Now, whether the young master of the water tribe lets the Qishui River overflow or tidies up the river channel, he will be known as a flood-monger.

"My plan has been completed. The emperor of the deep palace and the young master of the water palace are just like this.

If you don't have some strength, the throne of the world should be mine."

Just when King Binxuan was proud, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the next moment he was pressed to the ground by a hot big hand.

"You are a little kid with little bones but a lot of courage. Let me see who gave you the courage."
