Chapter 267 Crouching Tiger County
Novel website...org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Urban Spirit Sword Immortal!
The San Miao people and the Aolai demon soldiers, who were originally in a fierce attack, suddenly retreated overnight. The civil and military ministers of the Zhou Dynasty were all a little strange. You must know that these cities in their country are basically in a state of unprepared defense.
Those city guards were almost useless in front of them.
But in this way, they still withdrew their troops, and even the cities and territories they had captured before were not sent to guard them.
All the civil and military officials in the court were extremely confused.
Only Emperor Zhou, Zhou Mingzhi knew what was going on.
He couldn't help but think in his heart that it seemed that Lin Fan was indeed a trustworthy person.
In the court, many civil and military ministers were chatting.
He smiled happily and had a relaxed attitude.
Their previous state of staring at the ceiling and wandering outside the sky, or closing their eyes to rest, all disappeared.
Zhou Mingzhi sat above and saw clearly the reactions of these people.
At this time, Duke Wang Lesheng said indignantly: "Your Majesty, my 100,000 troops and 100,000 soldiers have been ready to take the swords and guns, and are about to go to the front line to kill them, but unexpectedly they escaped! Alas, what a pity, why did they let them run away!"
Zhou Mingzhi was clear-headed, but he still said, "Thank you for your hard work in Duke Wang."
Wang Lesheng hurriedly said, "No, no, no, your Majesty, as the Duke, my ancestors have made great contributions to the Zhou State. Naturally, I have the blood of my ancestors. Unfortunately, these bastards ran too fast and could not kill the enemy for the country. It's a pity!"
"It's okay, Duke Wang, if you have the chance, isn't the front line of Jiang and Wu still fighting?" A general couldn't see it and said sarcastically: "You will take your 100,000 troops to the border between Jiang and Wu to kill the enemy."
Wang Lesheng hurriedly said, "What do you mean? I said to kill demons and eliminate demons. You asked me to attack Jiang and Wu. Is this the same thing? The donkey head is not right!"
Zhou Mingzhi snorted coldly, but no matter what, his mood was the same as these ministers, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He then said, "Now that Huang Ping is dead, someone always needs to be the position of a general. I wonder if all the beloved ministers are going to take charge of it?"
This time, all eyes looked at the general group.
But no one dared to speak easily.
On the one hand, there are only a few people who are qualified to become a general, and the other generals are not qualified.
But the war on the front line was dangerous, and the Yan Kingdom had extremely strange weapons in its hands.
Even a saint like Zhou Haohan died in Quanshang City. Who would still want to be this general?
At least the few people who are qualified to become the general are all extremely powerful people in Zhou.
They don’t want to run to Quanshang City to die. It is certainly good to make meritorious service.
But the credit they like to make is to beat the dogs who fall into the water, bully others with power, and to fight more and fewer soldiers.
As for hard bones like Quan Shangcheng, they are unwilling to chew.
A few teeth will not be broken.
Isn’t Huang Ping the lesson from the past?
When you look at the people present, you look at me and see you, no one speaks.
Zhou Mingzhi could only look at Qi Minghou.
"Are you willing to go?" Zhou Mingzhi asked.
Qi Minghou took a deep breath and said, "I wish to live and die for Your Majesty! I will never refuse to die!"
"Okay." Zhou Mingzhi nodded, and then said, "You retreated from illness before, and now you are back to the position of general."
"Just like this, retreat to the court. In addition, Mr. Qi Ming will follow me to the imperial study room. I have something to tell you."
"Yes." Qi Minghou nodded and then coughed twice.
This is not a pretentious thing. After he came back, he heard the news from the front line, learned about Zhou Haohan's death, and the continuous attacks of the demon kingdom and the San Miao people, and he was really sick.
In comparison, compared with other ministers, Mr. Qi Ming was definitely a very patriotic general.
Qi Minghou followed Zhou Mingzhi to the imperial study room.
He knelt down respectfully and said, "Thank you for trusting me!"
Zhou Mingzhi said straight to the point: "After leaving, he led an army of 800,000, leaving Quanshang City, and took a detour to join the millions of troops in Yan State."
"After forming an army of 1.8 million, we passed by Yan State, but we were not allowed to attack the city or injure any ordinary people, and then directly attacked the Jiang State!"
Hearing this, Qi Minghou was shocked, bypassing Yan State and taking Jiang State directly?
"Did you take me?" Zhou Mingzhi asked.
Qi Minghou said: "Now, 1.3 million troops of Jiang State, 1.2 million troops are all dealing with the million troops of Zhou State on the border between Zhou and Jiang."
"And there are only 50,000 people on the Yanjiang border to the west?" Qi Minghou said in a deep voice: "I lead an army of 1.8 million, and I can drive straight in. Within ten days, I can capture Jiang Jing!"
"Okay." Zhou Mingzhi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go, remember, Yan State is considered a friendly army now, don't offend him at will."
...
At the same time, in the ancient Marquis' Mansion, which was originally lively on weekdays, there were often high-ranking officials and nobles visiting each other in Yanjing, hoping to get to know Lin Fan more.
Recently, there have been no guests in the Marquis' Mansion of Gai Shi.
It seems that everything inside is as usual, with many guards and maids, but important people such as Lin Fan and Nan Zhanxiong have disappeared without a trace.
The people below didn't think much about it, and it was still the same. After all, Lin Fan's job as a spy and disappeared from the Marquis's mansion at any time was also a common occurrence.
At the same time, Yan Emperor Xiao Yuanlong also said that he was unwell and wanted to rest quietly in the harem for a few days, and he would not see any ministers during this period.
But only those in the palace who often contacted Xiao Yuanlong knew that Xiao Yuanlong also disappeared into Yanhuang Palace.
Seventy miles west of Yanjing, there is a small town called Wohu County.
In the small town, there is a rich mansion.
Lin Fan was wearing the young master's clothes and was smiling and chatting with Xiao Yuanlong.
Xiao Yuanlong is almost fifty years old now, his hair is a little white, but he is a little old.
"My benefactor, you suddenly notified me and the queen to come here to hide. Is there something big going on in Yanjing?" Xiao Yuanlong asked with a smile.
Lin Fan touched his nose and said, "It's hard to say, maybe the weather is calm and there is nothing, and something may happen."
"Isn't His Majesty the Demon Emperor here?" Xiao Yuanlong asked in a low voice.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Let's wait and see."
If Lin Fan was not wrong, when Zhou began to attack Jiang, he would directly confuse Jiang. At that time, no one knew what Fei Hongtian would do.
Although there is a demon emperor here, he is not your bodyguard and it is impossible to protect you all the time.
