My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 376 Doubt

Coupled with the fact that the Moyun Mountain Range is an excellent place for cultivation, the true strength of the Yanxue Kingdom is probably ranked among the top five in the Wuling world.

As an old country inherited from ancient times, Yanxue Country has always maintained absolute neutrality, never participating in the competition for interests between other countries, or relying on the strong to bully the weak.It is also true that many countries dare not provoke Yanxue Nation easily because they cannot grasp the true strength of Yanxue Nation.But among ordinary people, it stands like an angel of peace in the northern realm.
This state of balance lasted for tens of thousands of years, until the emergence of a new country named Ji Yun Empire completely broke this balance.

The Ji Yun Empire was established by annexing three upper-middle-level countries, and its founder was Ji Yun, the lord of Ji Yun Valley.The character Ji Yun has always been a mystery in the world of martial arts, because since the establishment of Ji Yun Valley, even the core elders in the valley have never seen him.However, there has always been a saying in the martial arts world that Ji Yun is also one of the ancient martial gods.But for some unknown reason, Ji Yun did not participate in the battle between the ancient human race and the demon race, so people did not remember the existence of this peak-level figure in the martial arts world.

However, what people didn't expect was that this veteran figure who had been silent for tens of thousands of years now truly appeared in people's sight.Not only that, but people were shocked and terrified.Because they still couldn't believe that a little Ji Yungu actually controlled three big countries in a few days, and even bowed their heads to them, and jointly supported the owner of the valley, Ji Yun, as the new emperor of the empire.

Not long after the Ji Yun Empire was established, something even more surprising happened.A country whose foundation is not stable, even gathered a total of two million alliance troops from many countries to cross the gate of space and invade Yanxue Country, which is regarded as a messenger of peace in people's hearts.Although the Ji Yun Empire far exceeds the Yanxue Country in terms of land area and population, many people still think that the Ji Yun Empire will suffer.Because they don't believe anyway that a rising country will defeat a Yanxue Country that has a history of tens of thousands of years and whose strength is unknown.

However, the truth of things is often beyond people's surprises.On the first day of the battle between the army of Yanxue Kingdom and the army of Ji Yun Empire, they suffered a great defeat.A total of 36 cities on the border were all captured, and the army of the Ji Yun Empire seemed dissatisfied with this, and drove straight into the capital to threaten the capital.But the strange thing is that the alliance army did not announce the next attack order after intimidating the capital, but was stationed outside the Nether Forest, a hundred miles away from the capital of Yanxue Kingdom, giving the impression that they were going to live for a long time.

The war fell into anxiety for a while.At this time, the capital of Yanxue Kingdom has entered a state of emergency combat readiness, but anyone whose strength is above that of a martial artist will be recruited into the army unconditionally.As for the martial artist's strength, there is no requirement, because in this kind of strong duel, the martial artist's strength is really not enough for the opponent's teeth.As a result, the military strength in the capital has reached 150 million.

Although the alliance army stationed in the Nether Forest has not taken the next step for a long time, the rear is continuously sending troops to the Nether Forest.After two months, excluding the number of people lost in the small-scale battle between the two armies, the number of alliance troops has reached 190 million.The outer side of the originally endless Nether Forest is now surrounded by smoke from a distance, and it is a dense piece of darkness.

The longer the delay, it is obviously not good for Yanxue Nation.Because the internal cities of Yanxue Country are now in a melee, the capital of the country is already in a state of isolation and helplessness.Once the Alliance Army successfully shrinks its forces, Yanxue Country will surely perish.

At this time, Yanxue Country's capital was completely plunged into a kind of silence just like before a storm.

The streets in the city no longer had the bustling scenes of the past, the streets were dead and silent, and there were only groups of warriors with sharp weapons patrolling back and forth.These warriors were obviously recruited just now, and after receiving a little training, they were sent out to perform simple tasks.Because of his lack of combat experience, he could only be sent to the rear as a logistics and patrol army.And the real backbone of the city has been guarding the fortresses at the entrances of the city for many months.

After a few months, there was nowhere to shoot the arrows drawn from the string, and there was nowhere to use them with strength in the hands. This kind of suffocating war made many people feel very irritable and depressed, so now the fighting arrogance of the entire army is really lower than before. Lowered too much.

However, in the royal palace of the capital, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.As expected of the leadership team, in the face of a crisis, they will not be as helpless and feverish as ordinary people.How can they step on the shoulders of others and climb to a high position if they don't have a calm and composed heart when they encounter problems?

In the center of the king's hall is a huge oval-shaped round platform. The huge round platform is divided into several areas, and each area has a simple and black wooden chair.And every chair is sitting on the core of the country.

A middle-aged man in a yellow dragon robe was sitting on a dragon chair directly in front of the round platform in the palace of the king. Although he seemed to be calmly looking at the worshipers beside the round platform, he could tell from the ravines on his face that at this moment He is also anxious.

After the etiquette, Wang Dian was surprisingly quiet, sweeping away the intense atmosphere of mutual deceit in the past.After a long while of silence, a vigorous and powerful voice slowly sounded from the front of the round platform.

"Da Wusi, has the letter for my second brother's return to the aid country been delivered?" The first person to break the silence was the monarch on the Dragon Throne, Dugu Dong, the xxx descendant of Dugu Yuan.

The Great Martial Officer Xiao He stood up quickly when he heard the words, first bowed and bowed, then looked in the direction of Dugu Dong and said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the monarch, it is believed that the envoy has returned, and the rescue letter has been successfully sent to the second monarch. At this moment, the Second Sovereign is already on his way back to aid the capital."

Hearing Xiao He's words, Dugu Dong's tense face finally eased a little.

So he took a satisfied look at Xiao He, who has been doing things efficiently since he took office.He said with a slight smile: "As expected of the great Wu Si who was single-handedly selected by my lord, this time I have solved the crisis in the capital, I will definitely reward Wu Sitai heavily."

Xiao He, who had been in a high position for many years, could naturally understand what he meant, so he bowed again and said, "Thanks to your love and affection, our lord, we have been able to enjoy many years of glory and wealth. Now that the country is in danger, we, as the pillars of the country, should die And that's all." Then he sat back to his seat without haste.

Dugu Dong smiled again when he heard the words, and then his sharp eyes quickly swept across the main hall, and the last corner of his eyes stopped at the middle position on the left side of the round platform, where Wang Hefei, the commander of the Forbidden Armed Forces, was at the moment with a serious face, and then used A forceful voice of command said loudly:
"Wang Dutong, you have to send more spies to keep an eye on the movement around the capital. Once you find out about the second monarch, come and report to me immediately. If there is any mistake, you will definitely be punished." Dugudong added after finishing speaking "The great war is imminent. If there are people in the city who are timid and spread rumors, they don't need to be punished according to the law. They just show their heads to the public. Extraordinary measures must be used in extraordinary times. And the safety of the capital is entrusted to the king. If the army has any needs, it can be directly approved by the Financial Secretary, and there is no need to report to the Lord.”

Hearing that Dugu Dong had given Wang Hefei such great convenience, the gloomy old guys who were sitting on the edge of the round platform suddenly had all sorts of strange expressions on their faces.There are those who are envious and jealous, and there are also those who are very unwilling.If it weren't for the extraordinary period, even if they were killed, they wouldn't believe that such a good thing would fall on a vulgar martial artist.You must know that if you just report a number, they can make a lot of money!But even if there are 1000 million dissatisfied hearts, no one dares to say anything.They had no choice but to suppress this evil fire in their hearts, venting at this time is undoubtedly the rhythm of death.

Wang Hefei got up when he heard the sound, then bowed respectfully and said: "Receive the emperor's decree." After saying that, he didn't say much, and sat back in his seat.Wang Hefei, who is the commander of Wudu, is an upright and rough man, and he is good at leading troops in battle, but it is really embarrassing if he wants to say some flattering words.Coupled with the current crisis in the capital, the burden on him is too heavy, and he doesn't have the heart to think about other things.

Dugudong looked at Wang Hefei who answered straightforwardly, secretly admiring him.Compared with those hypocrites and lies, he likes this kind of simple and scheming people.After these two important matters were ordered, Dugu Dong looked at the other people in the palace and asked with a sarcasm: "Do you have any other important matters to report? If not, today's political meeting will end here." until."

Just as Dugu Dong on the dragon chair was about to announce the end of the political meeting, Zhou Xing, the director of the Legal and Etiquette Department who had remained silent from the beginning to the end of the political meeting, stood up at this moment, bowing and bowing with a sinister expression. Looking at Dugu Dong with an expression on his face, he said: "My lord, the strength of the alliance army is shrinking faster and faster. It is expected that a general offensive will be launched in the next few days. Even if the second lord returns in time, it will not help. Think of a way to get the best of both worlds. I wonder if that matter"

Before Zhou Xing finished speaking, Dugu Dong's originally gentle face immediately turned serious.With a wave of his hand, he stopped him from continuing.Of course Dugu Dong knew what that matter was, but he thought he was not a very cruel person, so he didn't mention it for a long time.Of course, it was to take into account the face of him and the royal family. If he really did that, would Dugudong still want to hang out in this Yanxue Country in the future?

Everyone looked at the former, and when they heard about that incident, the look of anticipation on their faces was immediately smeared by the latter's big hand, so they had to pretend that they hadn't heard anything. Don't even dare to kick.

Speaking of that incident, we have to start from a night half a month ago.At that time, when Dugu Dong was about to go to bed, Zhou Xing, the director of the Law and Rites Department, rushed to the bedroom in a hurry and reported to the guard that he had something important to see the monarch.

When the guard saw that it was Lord Fariji, he did not dare to neglect and immediately reported it.Dugu Dong wondered in his heart that Zhou Xing came to ask for an interview in the middle of the night, there must be some serious matter, so he ordered the maid to put on a brocade robe for him and then went to the side hall.

When he came to the side hall and saw Zhou Xing for the first time, Dugu Dong hurried up and asked Zhou Xing why he came to see him in the middle of the night.

Hearing that it was Dugu Dong's accent, Zhou Xing shook off his usual arrogance, bowed down and bowed, and then took out a letter from his brocade sleeve and handed it to Dugu Dong.When Dugu Dong saw the envelope, he was still calm. After reading the contents of the letter, he couldn't help being stunned, and at the same time, an unknown fire broke out.Because the person who wrote the letter to him was Ji Yun, the emperor of the Ji Yun Empire.

The general content of the letter is that if Yanxue Country wants to quell the war, it must surrender one person.And this person is Dugu Yun, the famous Second Monarch of Yanxue Kingdom.If not, Yanxue Country will be bloodbathed.

Surrendering one person can stop a war and save countless families. This sounds like a wonderful thing, but it is undoubtedly a great shame for a country that has been invaded.What's more, the person to be handed over is the majestic Yanxue Country's second head, and he still exists as a new God of War in Yanxue Country.

It's no wonder that Dugu Dong has been hesitant to think about this matter, which made him even more confused.Why did the Ji Yun Empire go to war just for one person?Could it be said that the importance of the second younger brother Dugu Yun is far greater than starting a war at all?Or is there anything in the second brother that is very important to Ji Yun?
Dugu Dong still can't figure out this series of questions.Perhaps the answers to all these questions can only be answered after Dugu Yun returns.

Dugudong warned Zhou Xing in a threatening tone at that time, saying that without his permission, no third person should know about this matter.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xing would take the opportunity to bring up this matter on such an occasion, and Dugu Dong immediately became angry.This old family fire didn't pay attention to his words because he was a senior figure. This was simply a naked challenge to the king's imperial power.

"Hmph, old fellow, I will let you be arrogant for a few days first, and after this crisis is over, I will punish you severely." Dugu Dong snorted coldly in his heart, and immediately announced the end of today's political meeting.He was also afraid that if there was any further delay, Zhou Xing would uncontrollably reveal this matter, and thinking of Zhou Xing's abnormal behavior since the war, Dugu Dong was extremely suspicious that this person had Ji Qing.

If everyone in the meeting knew about this, most of them would definitely be on Zhou Xing's side.Even though Dugu Yun played an extremely important role in Yanxue Country, they would not hesitate to hand over Dugu Yun for their own benefit. Anyway, the person who handed over was the royal family, and they had nothing to do with it.Why not do it when you can solve troublesome things with simple solutions?This is the peaceful thinking of most of the people in power in Yanxue Kingdom today.

After Dugu Dong announced that the meeting was over, he left the palace first and walked towards the bedroom.Everyone also stood up from their chairs one after another, and then exited the palace in an orderly manner. After descending the marble stairs of hundreds of steps, they each returned to the mansion in carts pulled by the lowest-level monsters similar to horses. .Just go there first. "Speaking, Tianlong let Zhou Xing sit on his back and flew out of the cloud sea confusion.
