The demon world I designed.

Chapter 1077 Hong Family Father and Son
There is a commander-in-chief and three deputy commanders in charge of the Ghost King's army.
Before meeting those generals, Tian Heng roughly described the situation to her.

The commander, Lan Shang, is a new member of the Xiao family. His family's bloodline is not very strong. It was one of the affiliated families of the Xiao family back then. Like the Hong family, it is mainly because of loyalty. However, he does not have the powerful Thunder Elephant bloodline of the Hong family. He does not have many opportunities to make meritorious deeds on the battlefield. In the end, the leader Lan Bi only got the title of Earl.

However, when Lan Shang was taking the ghost test, he performed exceptionally well. The ghost he obtained was an ancient ghost. For some reason, it chose Lan Shang at that time. In the following months, he became the best in the ghost army. Whether it was the growth of military command or the growth of his own strength, he was almost far ahead of the surroundings. In the army, except for the emperor, one of the few who could quickly reach the level of king.

It was also because of this that the title of the new commander of the Ghost Army fell into his hands.

There are many reasons why my younger brother made this choice. One reason is that this boy does have great potential, and with the endorsement of the family, he can be promoted vigorously. The second reason is that he wants to give more hope to the younger generation. In this great era, there are many opportunities, and seniority is not necessarily the only factor. Those with little experience can also soar to the sky, which can mobilize the wolf nature of the army.

Of course, several deputy generals of the army are veteran marquises. Even Hong Lie and his son, who have not passed the ghost ritual, also serve as deputy generals in the army to ensure the stability of the army.

Although the newcomers have great potential, they have little combat experience after all, right?

But who could have thought that such a stable arrangement would go wrong?
"Did the four of them go to the Buddhist temple to worship?" the eldest princess asked with a frown.

"It should be," Tian Heng whispered, "the direction is different, because they are not the people of Shintoism. Wherever they appear in Jiangnan, they are monitored by mountain gods and the underworld, so the route of action cannot be wrong. They have all been to different Buddhist temples. As for whether they have worshipped, it is impossible to detect it inside the Buddhist temples."

"Unable to investigate?" The princess sneered: "With your ability, can't you just rush in and suppress it? It seems that the military strength in Jiangnan is also strained."

Tian Heng glanced at the other person and did not continue the topic.

Jiangnan's military strength has expanded greatly. With less than ten years of strength, the Fighter Army and the Western Navy now have nearly a million troops combined. But even so, after being responsible for several front positions in a row, plus those that Ziyue had taken away before, Jiangnan's military strength is indeed tight now.

This is also the reason why they dare not touch those Buddhist temples, because you don't know what consequences will be caused by touching them. Now the internal troops are empty and there is the threat of the Heavenly Python outside. They dare not withdraw troops from the border easily. They have rushed to the front line to guard it before they have even fully recovered from their injuries. How can they spare troops to go to the interior?
The eldest princess did not ask more questions on this topic. Now, not to mention the second brother, the interior of Jiangnan is empty, but at least their external military strength is solid. They can even defend the king-level Sky Python when Chen Qing is not at home. The foundation is so solid.

On the other hand, if we don’t guard the northern front and the emperor doesn’t stay in the capital, we won’t be able to maintain our foundation.

"Let's not beat around the bush." ​​The princess said directly, "You were once an old man in the imperial court. You should be able to tell who is reliable among these people, right? No need to keep us in suspense. If the most important army of the imperial court collapsed, I believe that you in Jiangnan would not be able to withstand all the pressure at once, right?"

Tian Heng looked at this decisive woman and sighed in his heart. The Xiao family was so lucky to have so many talented people. If the Tian family could have a few reliable people, he would not be suppressed by the Shen family here.

Then he sighed and said, "The deputy generals you promoted this time are all from families that were not very prominent before. They were all selected because they actively participated in the blessing of the ghost temple. The old forces were eliminated or left. Of course, the most reliable one is the Hong family!"

"The Hong family." The eldest princess reacted. Yes, although the people of the Hong family insisted on not participating in the ghost temple blessing, they were still incorporated into the deputy generals of the army because of their outstanding experience in major battles. It is said that they were marginalized for a while, but at this time, they are the most reliable.

“They didn’t go to worship at the Buddhist temple.”

"went."

Princess: “.”

"But the Hong family is a loyal and righteous family. Even if they are affected by the Buddha's light, I think they can be won over. At least they are better than others, right?"

The princess hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "Where are they?"

"Over there in Daqing Mountain."

"General Tian, ​​are you kidding me?" The princess' voice suddenly turned cold.

Everyone knows that there is something living over there in Daqing Mountain. That thing is already extraordinary. If I go there, I don’t know what my memory will be changed into.

"Ali came out a long time ago." "How dare Chen Qing let that thing out?" The eldest princess subconsciously looked around.

"It's an emergency, there's no other way. Your Highness, there's no need to be vigilant. If she wanted to modify your memory, she would have succeeded by simply disguising herself as me."

"That's true." The princess laughed and said, "You are really brave. Aren't you afraid of following that thing?"

"She is not in the Shinto school. Even the master is not afraid of her, so what should we be afraid of?" Tian Heng sighed.

"Got it. I'll go over there first. Please continue to pay attention here. Oh, and you have to be especially careful."

"Who?"

"King Qin!"

Tian Heng's pupils suddenly shrank.
The King of Qin, who had once been kind to him.

Honestly speaking, he had no psychological burden at all for betraying the current emperor and joining Chen Qing. The emperor had wooed him because of the military strength under his command. He had earned the title of Duke entirely through his own strength, and he felt at ease with it. Even if he changed jobs, he didn't feel that he had let the emperor down much.

But the King of Qin was different.
If it weren't for the King of Qin, the Tian family would have been destroyed long ago.

Are we finally going to face him head on?
-
"Why are we here, Dad?"

On the Daqing Mountain, Hong Lie asked his father in a muffled voice.

"It is a great fortune that the Buddha's light did not affect you."

"What's in Dad's Buddha light? It has bewitched you all. When you came back that day, you were out of shape for several days. It felt like you had completely changed."

"I can't explain this to you clearly." Patriarch Hong looked at his son with a complicated expression, and finally sighed and said, "Anyway, you have to know that those deputy generals are no longer the same as they used to be, and they will attack us at any time!"

"why?"

"I can't tell you clearly."

"You don't tell me when I ask you," Hong Lie muttered, looking dissatisfied.

"If you have one tenth of Chen Qing's brains, I can tell you everything. But will it be of any use? You have a stupid head."

Hong Lie: “.”

"Then why do we have to stay in Daqing Mountain?"

"There are rumors that the demon fox is in Daqing Mountain, so they don't dare to come. But you also know that the Thousand-Faced Fox is actually no longer here. Sooner or later, they will find out the news."

"Then what should we do?"

"Wait." The head of the Hong family sighed, "We can only see whether His Majesty reacts in time."
