Chapter 347: Playing chess and falling
Inside the magnificent palace, King Gao Ming sat on the throne, looking down at the ministers below.
"Your Majesty! The Yilin Army that was fighting the rebels... has lost all contact..."
As soon as the court meeting began, the Minister of War dropped a big 'bomb'.
All the ministers were stunned and began to whisper to each other...
"Why are the rebels so powerful? With just a few people from Zhuangzi, they were able to kill all our elite troops? Not even one person managed to escape?"
"It is rumored that their leader knows the art of gods and ghosts, and it is no problem to call the wind and rain..."
"I think only in this way can the Yilin Army lose contact with the entire army!"
"In that case, those rumors are..."
As the ministers discussed, they couldn't help but glance at the figure sitting on the throne.
After all, the deeds of their king were also very miraculous.
One is a saying that has been passed down for hundreds of years. King Gaoming was protected by the previous emperor for his filial piety and was baptized and inherited by the successive King Gaoming...
This has always been the consensus of the people across the country, and they are also grateful that they have such a wise king for hundreds of years.
However, at some point, a new saying has spread.
King Gaoming killed his son and replaced him, hoping to hold the imperial power forever and live forever!
There were many opinions and the discussion became more and more outrageous. In the end, someone even faced King Gaoming and looked him up and down...
Just then, a cold snort made the hall quiet.
This man was an old man, dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting on a rocking chair with a banana fan in his hand.
In the hall, he was the second person to have a seat besides King Gaoming. You can imagine his status!
"What a joke! If that were true, why would the rebels be afraid of us mortals? If they attacked the imperial capital directly, who could stop them?"
"Or would you rather believe the other party's slander and question our king?"
The voice was not loud, and it was accompanied by a hoarse voice, which made people's ears very uncomfortable.
But no one among the ministers dared to say anything more, just because this person was an old minister who had assisted four generations of King Gaoming.
Everyone present could be said to be his descendant. In this Jin State, which ruled the country with filial piety, even King Gaoming did not dare to order him around at will.
Everything important had to be consulted with him.
For this reason, even if he retired and returned to his hometown, this generation of King Gaoming still invited him back and allowed him to sit in a rocking chair to listen to government affairs...
"Okay, I already know about this matter. I will discuss it with Taigong later. If there is no other important matter, then let's leave the court."
Taigong stopped talking, sat on it, and King Gaoming, who did not change his expression, naturally took over the topic and said so.
The morning court ended, and the ministers left, leaving only King Gaoming and the old man Taigong in the hall.
In the silence, Taigong on the rocking chair spoke first, but unlike the hoarse voice before, this time his voice was mellow and powerful.
"How long are you going to play house with such mortals?"
King Gaoming glanced and said lightly:
"The disaster will not reach the mortals... This country, this mortal area is our umbrella."
"With this area, we will be invincible, no matter how many times we fail..."
"On the contrary, the other side can only be harassed by our army, but can't easily attack the mortal soldiers..."
"Besides, haven't you found the secret place yet?"
"Why worry?"
Taigong seemed to fall asleep with the rocking chair, but the voice still came out of his body strangely...
"Haha, King Gaoming, you are really smart. You have been managing for hundreds of years and refining the national destiny into yourself. Hurting you is hurting the country and the people..."
"So, you don't promote cultivation The way, just because if those mortals awaken to this consciousness..."
"Then your hundreds of years of management will be destroyed..."
"After all, no one wants the wise monarch they are loyal to to be a person who kills his son for the sake of longevity and commits incest with his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law..."
"However, the other party seems to have discovered it. Look, the rumors have spread all over Jin State. You have to speed up..."
King Gao Ming tapped the armrest with his fingers. After thinking for a while, he said: "It doesn't matter. The time, the place, and the people are all on our side... Just continue to execute according to the plan."
Time:
Hundreds of years of accumulation and management have not only allowed King Gao Ming's cultivation to reach the perfection of foundation building, but also allowed him to create his own "immortal golden body"!
Any immortal cultivator who wants to touch him must think twice, or he may be judged as "disaster to mortals" and be plagued by karma because of the cause and effect.
Geographical advantage:
After so many years of exploration and record, the map of this world is clear, and Jin State knows almost all the places where people can hide.
As long as the other party is restricted from owning territory, they can be prevented from developing.
Prevent the other party from using mortals against mortals, weakening Jin State, or even completely destroying Jin State.
Once Jin State is destroyed, King Gaoming will lose his umbrella of protection, and will also be backfired because of the destruction of national destiny, and his life and death will disappear...
Human harmony:
Using mortals as shields, secretly accepting spiritual roots into the Jinyiwei, and using secret techniques to accelerate the birth of powerful cultivators.
The land produces food and breeds people. The more people there are, the more Jinyiwei can be recruited, and the more worry-free King Gaoming will be.
The rebels want King Gaoming to die, so they must destroy his country first, but there are no people and no land, how to destroy it?
As cultivators, they personally take action? But killing mortals without reason would probably lead to karma, misfortune, and death...
As time goes on, Jin will become stronger and stronger, and the other side can only watch helplessly, either sit and wait for death, or...
This is the right time, place and people of his King Gaoming. This is his brilliant road and unbeatable conspiracy!
…
"King Gao Ming is really powerful...if I hadn't come to this world."
Jiang Lan finished his calculations, slowly opened his eyes, and looked up to see a vast free world full of vitality and spiritual energy.
The four elements of a monk are indispensable.
If he hadn't come, Brother Han and the others would have no money and no means, and even the land they had managed to manage would be destroyed.
Without these, a monk would be considered good if he could maintain his cultivation level without declining, not to mention improving his strength.
So, how to contend with the increasingly powerful Jin State, as well as the almost immortal Jin Yiwei and the troubled mortal soldiers?
And if you want to change this situation, the only thing that can do it is the ‘demarcation token’ that controls this small world!
"But according to my calculations, the location of the 'Boundary Delimitation Token' is extremely secret, and a long time has passed. Unless we use 'God's Knowledge', we really can't figure it out."
Jiang Lan looked at his life span of less than a hundred years, and decided to recuperate.
And even in the worst case scenario, if the opponent gets the token first, Jiang Lan can escape into the void rift and lead everyone to find another way.
What's more, even if it comes to the final decisive battle, Jiang Lan won't necessarily lose if he relies on Xiaoyao Xianzong.
"Isn't it just a matter of growth? How can our Xiaoyao Immortal Sect lose?"
"In order to prevent us from carrying out the beheading plan, the other party did not dare to develop the way of cultivating immortals. They are actually tying themselves up..."
"As for my Xiaoyao Immortal Sect, the Immortal Way goes down to assist the development of people's livelihood, and I gather the wisdom of everyone to support the Immortal Way, so why worry about it?"
"What's more, at this time, the enemy is exposed and we are hidden. We can completely watch the other party's actions before making a decision."
"Once the other party reveals a flaw...haha, the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect will definitely give the other party a surprise when the time comes!"
In fact, Jiang Lan had no intention of becoming an enemy of the residents of this world, he just wanted to use a way back to the Fairy Continent.
However, the clever king in this world is embarrassing his brother, and his background is vaguely related to the devil of Qianye Sect.
In any case, this conflict is probably inevitable.
Of course, every injustice has its own owner, and Jiang Lan will only target King Gaoming. He has no intention of harming the common people here...
At this point, the chessboard has been completed, and both sides hold the pieces and fall. Who can come out ahead depends on the two sides playing...
