The Ancient Martial Witch Arrives

Chapter 217 The Assassination (5)
Maybe Wu Xiang just vented and let them go!

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely tense, and Lan Shi had no intention of admitting his mistake at all. Although he was very obedient and did not refute Wu Xiang, he still looked at Wu Xiang with an angry look, and the expression of resistance was written all over his face .

Wu Xiangduan sat on the throne and didn't speak, but his face was very ferocious, and the way he looked at Lan Shi was even more terrifying.

The ministers in the hall did not dare to speak, they were all frightened by the hostility emanating from Wu Xiang.Although the King of Fengjiang was worried about Wu Xiang, Lan Shi must be rescued, so he could only bite the bullet and stepped forward, saying: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Lan Jiu's meritorious service in escorting the Shu people during the sneak attack, please let him go." Let's pass Blue Ten!"

King Fengjiang's words resounded resoundingly, and only his voice echoed in the entire hall.At this time, only Fengjiang King dared to speak for Lan Shi.

But Wu Xiang ignored him, and just looked at King Fengjiang silently, his eyes were as indifferent as ice, making it impossible to guess what Wu Xiang was thinking.

King Fengjiang knelt down on the ground to show his respect, but even so, Wu Xiang still ignored him, King Fengjiang gritted his teeth and said: "I am willing to protect Lanshi with my wealth and life, I have the title of prince Man, the former emperor once promised me that he could use the title of prince in exchange for a person's life, even if this person committed a heinous crime! Now I will use my title of king of Fengjiang and the position of Marshal of the Zhenxi Army in exchange for blue Peace of mind!"

In the state of Wu, the two men with the greatest military exploits are King Fengjiang and Marquis Wu Mu. One of these two men defended the Northern Wei Dynasty and the other defended Western Shu.It can be said that the person with the greatest military power in the Wu Kingdom is the King of Fengjiang!

After King Fengjiang said these words, the whole hall suddenly fell into silence.

You must know that the king of Fengjiang has spent his whole life as a soldier, and he has spent his whole life in exchange for the position of marshal of the Zhenxi Army in exchange for his life's blood and sweat. Now, in order to keep the blue tenth, he actually gave it up.How can it not be shocking!
At the same time, this also surprised and moved Lan Shi!I just helped Wu Lin cure his lung disease, there is no need for King Fengjiang to do this, it will make Lan Shi feel pressured.

And hearing King Fengjiang's words, Wu Xiang on the throne had a smile on his lips.

"The subject is already old, and he planned to give up his military power and title of prince, but now he can keep Lan Shi, please allow me, Your Majesty!" Fengjiang King said again.

The king of Fengjiang is only fifty years old, and it is the time when he is old and strong, so there is no such thing as old age.

But Wu Xiang nodded, and said in a loud voice: "Fengjiang King's army should rest for the rest of his life. I agree to your request, but the prince's title cannot be taken back! And I have another reward. From today, Wu Lin will no longer be a prince. Prince, but King De! In addition, I will reward you with a thousand hectares of fertile land, so the old emperor can take care of himself for the elderly!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" King Fengjiang hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.

Until then, Fengjiang King secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Wu Xiang was able to agree to release his military power so easily, it seems that Wu Xiang has been planning for a long time!The Zhenxi Legion is no different than others. As the marshal of the legion, he needs to be in charge of many things. When the marshal is replaced, it takes a long time for delivery and integration. Otherwise, the new marshal will not be able to control the Zhenxi Legion at all, let alone understand the defense of Western Shu. Terrain layout.

And now that Wu Xiang has lifted the military power of King Fengjiang so simply, it means that he has already selected someone to replace the marshal of the Zhenxi Army.Perhaps it had already been planned before Wu Xiang ascended the throne.

Taking advantage of Lan Shi's incident this time, it may be a good thing to hand over the military power himself!King Fengjiang sighed in his heart. When Wu Xiang asked him to get up, he got up from the ground and stood in the line of ministers.

"Since there is the King of Fengjiang Baolan Shi, then I will let this boy go. Besides, King of Fengjiang, I have one more request!" Wu Xiang looked at Lan Shichi coldly, and then said to the King of Fengjiang.

King Fengjiang quickly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me anything!"

"Well, I can hand over the Zhenxi Army to someone else, but you will lead the Zongbei Army from now on!" Wu Xiang nodded his head, and said in a low and firm tone.

King Fengjiang was taken aback when he heard the words, what does Wu Xiang mean by this?Didn't he want to lift his military power?Why let yourself guard the north again?The north is the place guarded by Wu Muhou!
Thinking about it in a blink of an eye, Marquis Wu Mu has been dismissed by Wu Xiang. Currently, the old Marquis is nursing at home. The position of Marshal of the Northern Army is indeed vacant, but the King of Fengjiang really doesn't understand Wu Xiang's intentions.Could it be that Wu Xiang just transferred himself, and didn't mean to cut his military power?Have you still gained Wu Xiang's trust?

Things in the court have always been the masters of high achievements, not to mention that the king of Fengjiang is still Wu Xiang's uncle, who is in his prime, and now he has such a heavy army in his hand, it will indeed arouse Wu Xiang's suspicion and precautions.

"In addition, the King of Fengjiang can draw [-] troops from the Zhenxi Army to supplement the weakness of the northern defense line!" Wu Xiang said immediately.

Hearing Wu Xiang's words, Fengjiang King came back to his senses, and quickly knelt on the ground to accept the order to thank him, but he was even more puzzled.The west has always been the focus of Wu's defense. Why did it become the north?Wu's military strength is limited, and the northern defense line has always been weak.The Northern Wei Dynasty has always had a good relationship with the State of Wu, and there has been no war in recent decades, while there are conflicts on the border of Western Shu every year, and major wars must break out every few years.

And Wu Xiang's decision also shocked everyone in the hall, a group of ministers froze in place, all silent.

Shocked, Lan Jiu looked up at Wu Xiang, only to see that his face was full of exhaustion that he had never seen before, and his eyes were very red, obviously caused by staying up late.He who has just ascended the throne must have been understanding Wu's national conditions all night long, right?
Wu Xiang must be the busiest at this time, but Lan Shi came to sneak up on him, which really made Lan Jiu a little angry!

For some reason, seeing Wu Xiang with a tired face, Lan Jiu really felt distressed.

"Zhou Ning! Come in!" Wu Xiang yelled out the door after giving orders to King Fengjiang.
