Chapter 250
Nanlong Palace.
A eunuch held the imperial edict in his hand and stood proudly in the courtyard. Behind him, there were several imperial guards.
The eunuch was called Zhang He.
Since Wang An was dealt with for corruption, his status as an eunuch was quickly promoted.
This also made him slowly look down on others.
Even if he met the foreign king, he would not feel inferior to others. Instead, he felt that he represented the emperor, so he could not lose the emperor's face.
"Has the King of Nanlong arrived?" Zhang He asked in a duck voice.
"Please wait for a moment, envoy. His Highness will be here soon." The housekeeper bowed and said.
Zhang He looked at the housekeeper and was a little dissatisfied.
Because the other party did not let him sit in the hall and serve him good tea and water, but asked him to wait in the yard all the time, which made him somewhat unhappy.
But thinking that there was something important to come this time, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.
However, he waited for most of the day, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
Finally, the news of King Nanlong came.
"Messenger, His Highness is already waiting in the hall, please come in."
"Oh, OK." Zhang He wiped the sweat from his forehead, but he had already begun to hate King Nanlong in his heart.
He thought to himself: "Humph, he is just a king of a different surname. His Majesty has long been dissatisfied with you kings of different surnames."
"Moreover, you actually recruited Liu Guangjing, which is simply disrespectful to the emperor."
"Just wait and see, you will suffer one day."
Zhang He sneered in his heart, but he still had a proud face on his face and walked into the hall.
In the hall, King Nanlong was dressed in royal clothes and sat upright.
Although he is fat, he has a strong aura.
King Nanlong looked at Zhang He and said, "Oh, Lord Zhang, you are here. I am so disrespectful. Please sit down."
Although King Nanlong said this, he did not intend to get up to greet him.
Instead, he just pointed to the table beside him.
"Ahem, King Nanlong, the imperial edict has arrived. Please accept it." Zhang He was not polite to King Nanlong.
After hearing this, King Nanlong could only shake his head helplessly and stood up.
Then, he bowed and said, "I am here."
"In compliance with the will of heaven, the emperor ordered King Nanlong Wang Fu to send 100,000 troops to attack the Manlong Empire in the north."
"The same order, King Nanlong Wang Fu, hand over Liu Guangjing and his soldiers and generals, and I will not investigate the past."
"I decree this."
"King Nanlong, accept the edict." Zhang He squinted his eyes and looked at King Nanlong.
"Well, what did Lord Zhang just say?" King Nanlong pretended to be confused.
"Hmm?" Zhang He's eyes turned cold.
"King Nanlong, don't play dumb. Don't you obey His Majesty's orders? Do you still want to betray the empire?"
"Hehe, I only know that as a foreign king, I have no right to interfere in state affairs. Please go back, Lord Zhang."
"What do you mean?" Zhang He was surprised that King Nanlong was so bold.
At this time, King Nanlong was no longer the same as before, and he had Li Taihang as a big backer behind him.
If it were in the past, he would naturally not dare to do so.
Even when he learned that the imperial edict was coming, he went out to greet it as soon as possible.
Instead of leaving the envoys to dry for most of the day like now, he received them.
"It's nothing. I mean, after all, I am a foreign king. If I lead troops to fight, I will definitely be hurt by you. I can't stand it."
"You, this is the will of His Majesty. Do you want to disobey it?"
"Your Majesty's will can be easily rational. I am afraid that after the expedition, His Majesty will stab me in the back."
"Besides, Commander Liu is an example."
When King Nanlong mentioned Liu Guangjing, people thought of Liu Guangjing, who was devoted to the country, but was frequently dragged down by the military supervisor. In the end, he was wronged and took the blame.
And this is also the breach of trust of Emperor Long.
Therefore, it is understandable that King Nanlong used this as an excuse.
However, Zhang He was very unhappy after listening to it.
He is the envoy of Emperor Long. Now, King Nanlong dared to disobey the order.
If this matter is spread, it will inevitably cause an uproar.
Similarly, if King Nanlong is fine, other foreign kings and princes will not rule out the possibility of learning from him.
"Please go back and tell His Majesty that it's not that I don't want to fight, but my ancestors have long ordered that we, the foreign kings, should not interfere in political affairs."
"Otherwise, you will accuse me of violating the ancestral teachings and disobeying orders, and then I will be dead."
King Nanlong found many reasons to evade Zhang He.
Zhang He was so angry that he lost his temper.
"You just don't want to send troops, right?"
"It's not that I don't want to, but I'm worried. You have to let me go.Don't worry. "
"Okay, go back first and tell His Majesty about this matter, and see how he handles it."
After saying that, King Nanlong ordered the guests to be sent away.
And Zhang He was stunned.
He didn't expect King Nanlong to be so bold.
This is simply outrageous.
But at this time, a group of soldiers came in, staring at them fiercely.
When Zhang He was about to get angry, he saw these fierce soldiers and swallowed his saliva secretly, and it was not easy to get angry.
"Okay, you are cruel."
Then, he took the Imperial Guards and returned to the imperial capital.
This time, don't think about coming back without ten days or half a month.
And they have to hurry fast enough.
After they left, Ye Qingfeng was a little worried.
"Your Highness, will you..."
"Don't worry, he will come again a second time. "
King Nanlong had discussed this with Li Taihang a long time ago.
So, they knew that no matter how angry Emperor Long was, he would not tell anyone about this matter.
Because the impact was too great.
So, Emperor Long was very likely to come a second time.
This time, he would definitely be much gentler, and would even offer some conditions.
Then, King Nanlong would just have to see what the situation was.
After hearing this, Ye Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
But no matter what, it was a dangerous thing for a king to control an emperor.
"Your Highness, you should be more careful in the future."
Ye Qingfeng reminded him again.
He was very clear-headed. After all, the emperor was still the emperor. With the supreme power, he could still make the foreign king disappear.
"Okay, the most important thing for us now is to deal with the Eastern Expedition Army."
"Well. "
King Nanlong would not think too much, but everything had been arranged long ago.
Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng did not say anything more.
They all waited for news in a few days.
The fourth day.
There was a sudden change in Yinfeng Valley. The leader of Yinghun Sect had an accident when he broke through the realm, and it was very likely that he would die.
This made the third elder anxious, so he could only take all the cultivators and quickly leave Yinfeng Valley and go to Yinghun Sect.
Seeing them leaving, Rob couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Elder Liu, you are all gone, what should we do?"
"Don't worry, the supplies will be delivered as usual." Liu Dan assured.
After all, this involves the interests of their sect, and they can't give up easily.
"That's good."
Rob breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with some doubts: "I don't know what happened to your sect? Why do you want to transfer all the people back?"
"This is not something you should ask. "Liu Dan stared at Rob with cold eyes.
Rob shuddered immediately.
"Yes, yes, I deserve to die." Rob apologized quickly.
"Well, even if we leave, we won't be away for too long, a week at the fastest and a few months at the slowest."
"Anyway, you just need to hide all the time."
"For everything else, we will keep in touch with you at any time."
"Okay." Rob heard this, what else could he say.
He could only nod.
Then, he watched these immortal cultivators leave the Hidden Wind Canyon on the flying boat.
After Liu Dan and the others left, Ying Guo came out and said, "General, now that they have all left, what should we do next?"
"Train when it's time, and never neglect it. In the near future, King Nanlong is very likely to be transferred."
"Okay, General."
Just at this time, a soldier ran in.
"Report."
"What's the matter? "
"We got the news that the emperor of the Zhonglong Empire has sent an envoy to the capital of King Nanlong."
After hearing the news, Rob's eyes lit up.
Then he laughed and said, "It seems that King Nanlong has to leave."
"Well, our chance has come, but unfortunately, those immortal cultivators have all left."
"It's okay. After their people leave, there won't be many defenders. Then, we can still break their defense and occupy the entire Nanlong."
"Okay, that's right." Yingguo also came back to his senses. Without the immortal cultivators, their military exploits can be taken for themselves.
"Tonight, let the brothers have a good rest. Tomorrow, we will send people to investigate the situation and get the latest information."
Rob was also very happy to get this good news.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't have fun, he would have asked everyone to relax.
After all, they finally got the chance.
"Yes. "Yingguo's eyes lit up and he became happy immediately.
However, they didn't know that Zhao Chong and Liu Guangjing had already prepared everything.
At nightAt that time, Ye Qingfeng used the cover of night to command dozens of flying boats to Pingyuan City.
This time, Ye Qingfeng sent out all the flying boats according to the order of King Nanlong.
"This is the first air battle of our army. It is really exciting!"
Ye Qingfeng murmured in his heart.
Outside Pingyuan City, 80,000 troops were ready. They were assembled in the name of training.
Therefore, no one knew that they were going to fight.
After arriving at the designated location, the two sides met.
"Hello, Teacher Ye." Liu Guangjing and Zhao Chong saluted together.
"Okay, are all the people here?" Ye Qingfeng asked.
"All here." Zhao Chong replied.
"Well, let them get on the flying boat."
"Okay."
They began to send the 80,000 troops they organized on the flying boat.
On the side of Yinfeng Canyon, everyone was not clear about all this, but celebrated.
