Chapter 250: Raid on the Eastern Expedition Army

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 an important matter this time, he did not dare to be too presumptuous.

However, he also waited for most of the day, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Finally, the news of King Nanlong came.

"Messenger, His Highness is 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 have a day to suffer."

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 was fat, he had a strong aura.

King Nanlong looked at Zhang He and said, "Oh, Lord Zhang, you are here, it's really 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.

"Hey, 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."

"By the will of heaven, the emperor has ordered King Nanlong Wang Fu to send 100,000 troops to attack the Barbarian Dragon 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 do this."

"King Nanlong, accept the edict." Zhang He squinted his eyes and looked at King Nanlong.

"Um, what did Lord Zhang say just now?" 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 his big backer.

If it were in the past, he would 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 waiting for the envoys for half a 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 that our ancestors have long ordered that we, the foreign kings, should not interfere in political affairs."

"Otherwise, you will accuse me of violating the ancestral precepts and disobeying orders, and then I will be dead."

King Nanlong found many reasons to evade Zhang He.

Zhang He was stunned by what he said.

"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 make me feel at ease."

"Okay, go back first and tell His Majesty about this matter and see how he handles it."

After 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 unreasonable.

But at this time, a team 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."

After that, he took the Imperial Guards back to the imperial capital.

If you leave now, you won't be able to come back for at least ten days or half a month.

And they have to hurry fast enough.

After they left, Ye Qingfeng was a little worried.

"Your Highness, would you do this..."

"Don't worry, he will come again."

King Nanlong had already discussed this with Li Taihang.

Therefore, they knew that no matter how angry Long Tianzi was, he would never tell this matter.

Because the impact is too great.

Therefore, Emperor Long is very likely to come for the second time.

This time, he will definitely be much gentler and even give some conditions.

When the time comes, King Nanlong will just have to look at the situation.

After hearing this, Ye Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

But no matter what, it is a dangerous thing for a king to manipulate an emperor.

"Your Highness, you'd better pay more attention in the future."

Ye Qingfeng reminded again.

He was very clear-headed. The emperor was still the emperor after all. With the supreme power, he could still make King Fan disappear.

"Okay, the most important thing for us now is to get rid of the Eastern Conquest Army."

"Um."

King Nanlong would not think too much, but everything had been arranged long ago.

When Ye Qingfeng saw this, he didn't say anything more.

They were all waiting for the news in a few days.

The fourth day.

Something suddenly happened in Hidden Wind Canyon. The leader of the Yinghun Sect had an accident when he broke through the realm, and he was very likely to die.

This made the third elder so anxious that he could only take all the immortal cultivators and quickly leave Hidden Wind Canyon and go to Yinghun Sect.

Seeing that they were leaving, Rob couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

"Elder Liu, you are all gone, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, the supplies will still be delivered as usual." Liu Dan assured.

After all, this involves the interests of their sect, and they cannot give up easily.

"That's good."

Rob breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some confusion: "I wonder what happened to your sect? Why do you want to transfer everyone back?"

"This is not something you should ask." Liu Dan stared at Rob with cold eyes.

Rob suddenly shivered.

"Yes, yes, damn it, little one." Rob apologized quickly.

"Well, even if we leave, we won't be gone for long, it could be a week at the earliest, or a few months at the earliest."

"Anyway, you just need to keep hiding."

"For everything else, we will keep in touch with you at any time."

"Okay." What else could Rob say after hearing this.

He could only nod.

Then, he watched these immortal cultivators leave Hidden Wind Canyon in their flying boats.

After Liu Dan and the others left, Yingguo came out and said, "General, now that they have left, what should we do next?"

"Train when you need to, and you must not neglect it. In the recent period, it is very likely that King Nanlong will be transferred."

"Okay, General."

Just at this moment, a soldier ran in.

"Report."

"What's up?"

"We have received news that the emperor of the Zhonglong Empire has sent an envoy to the royal city of Nanlong King."

After hearing the news, Rob's eyes lit up.

Then, he laughed loudly and said: "It seems that King Nanlong has to leave."

"Well, our opportunity has also come, but unfortunately, those cultivators have left."

"It's okay. After all, once their people leave, there won't be many defenders left. By then, we can still break through their defenses and occupy the entire Nanlong."

"Okay, yes." Yingguo also came to his senses. Without the immortal cultivators, their military exploits can be taken for themselves.

"Let the brothers have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, we will send people to investigate the situation and be sure to get the latest information."

Rob was also very happy to receive 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 their chance.

"Yes." Yingguo's eyes lit up and he became happy immediately.

However, they didn't know that Zhao Chong and Liu Guangjing had prepared everything.

At night, 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 King Nanlong's order.

"This is our army's first air combat, it's 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 place, the two parties met.

"I've met Teacher Ye." Liu Guangjing and Zhao Chong saluted together.

"Okay, is everyone here?" Ye Qingfeng asked.

"We're all here." Zhao Chong replied.

"Well, let them get on the flying boat."

"good."

They organized an army of 80,000 people and began to send flying boats.

But here in Hidden Wind Canyon, they didn’t know all this, but instead they made everyone celebrate.
