Chapter 262 King Tianqi is the great master! ! !

After hearing Hu Yantong's answer, Lu Chen was not frightened by the strength of the Barbarian Goddess. Although the Barbarian Goddess was very powerful, the more powerful she was, the less likely she was to do something that would cost her her status.

Under normal circumstances, even the Grand Master would not appear on the battlefield easily, let alone a strong person in the Heavenly Realm.

And even if the barbarian goddess really wants to come and cause trouble for the Northern Kingdom, Lu Chen doesn't have to worry too much. Zhuge Chongguang is about to break through to the heavenly realm. Lu Chen believes that before the barbarian goddess comes to cause trouble for the Northern Kingdom, Zhuge Chongguang should be able to break through smoothly. .

Even if he does not rely on Zhuge Chongguang, he can speed up his cultivation, work hard to improve his cultivation, and break through to the realm of heaven and humanity as soon as possible.

Lu Chen continued to ask at this time: "Why did King Tianqi go eastward? Is it to move to the North, or is he specifically coming to attack the North?"

Hu Yantong replied: "Originally, the goddess wanted King Tianqi to move to the north and not to act rashly for the time being, but she did not expect that King Tianqi was in a bad mood after the defeat in the Dayue Dynasty and wanted to find a place to vent, so he Lead us to attack the Northern Kingdom."

Having said this, Hu Yantong immediately knelt down and said, "This is all the intention of King Apocalypse and has nothing to do with me. I was also forced to follow King Apocalypse to attack the Northern Kingdom. Please spare my life!"

Hearing Hu Yantong's words, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. He originally thought that King Apocalypse wanted to come to the North, but he didn't expect that there was a pusher behind King Apocalypse's coming to the North.

Why did the barbarian goddess ask King Apocalypse to come to the North? Is there anything in the North that the barbarian goddess cares about?

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked: "Do you know why your barbarian goddess asked King Tianqi to come to the North?"

Hu Yantong said: "I am just a leader of a small tribe, how can I know the thoughts of the barbarian goddess."

After hearing Hu Yantong's answer, Lu Chen suddenly regretted killing King Tianqi so quickly.

Before Lu Chen took action last night, he wanted to kill the King of Apocalypse as early as possible to avoid long nights and dreams, so as not to make any mistakes. However, by killing him so quickly, he lost a lot of information.

It seems that you should hesitate a little before taking action in the future. Acting too decisively is sometimes not a good thing.

At this time, Lu Chen glanced at the barbarian captives, and then his eyes fell on Hu Yantong, "What else do you know about our goddesses? For example, how your goddesses were born, and what your goddesses can do ?”

Hu Yantong said: "Sir, I have already said everything I know. I have only met the goddess a few times and don't know much about her."

At this time, Mu Changtian came to Lu Chen and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, what should we do with this barbarian general?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Seal up his power first, and then escort him back to Yancheng. He should still be of some use."

Mu Changtian said: "I understand."

Lu Chen then said to Hu Yantong: "If you want to survive, be honest. If you dare to play tricks, I will send you directly to see your king."

Hu Yantong said: "Don't worry, sir, I will be honest and honest, and I will never run away!"

Lu Chen stopped talking nonsense with Hu Yantong, and he had no intention of asking other barbarian soldiers about the Barbarian Goddess. Even Hu Yantong knew so little about the Barbarian Goddess, and there was a high probability that the other soldiers of the Barbarian tribe had not had much contact with the Barbarian Goddess. goddess, they probably know even less about the barbarian goddess.

Then Lu Chen turned and left.

As soon as Lu Chen left the temporary camp where the barbarian prisoners were held, Xiao Pengtian came back with his cavalry and captured a group of barbarian soldiers who had escaped last night.

Seeing Queen Xiao Peng, Lu Chen immediately asked: "General Xiao, come here, I have something to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Pengtian immediately came to Lu Chen and said, "My lord, what do you want from your subordinates?"

Lu Chen asked directly: "Have you heard about the goddess of your barbarian tribe?"

Lu Chen thought that Xiao Pengtian grew up in the barbarian tribe and his status in the Tianlang King tribe was not too low. He should know some information about the barbarian goddess.

Hearing Lu Chen's question, Xiao Pengtian was stunned, and then he said: "My lord, when did the barbarians have a goddess? Why didn't my subordinates know about it?"

Hearing Xiao Pengtian's answer, Lu Chen instantly realized that the Sirius King tribe had moved to the Northland very early. Maybe the barbarian goddess was born after the Sirius King tribe moved to the Northland. The Sirius King The tribe may not even know what a goddess is.

Lu Chen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, go and do your work."

this……

Xiao Pengtian was stunned again, and then said: "My subordinates are resigning."

After Lu Chen walked around the battlefield last night for a few times, he returned to Ningbeicheng.

Just as Lu Chen was about to ask the Jin Yiwei to deliver the latest battle report to Yancheng, Wu Yuan came to Lu Chen. He handed the envelope in his hand to Lu Chen, "Your Majesty, I have information about Yancheng."

Lu Chen first took the envelope from Wu Yuan's hand, opened it and took out the information inside to read it.

Lu Chen's face became a little serious when he saw the intelligence that the Dayue Dynasty had sent a mission to the Northern Kingdom.

Why did the Dayue Mission send people to the North Country at this time?

The intelligence said that Dayue's mission meant that if the North needed anything, they could contact Dayue, and Dayue would definitely help.

help? So kind?

There has never been any official communication between Beiguo and Dayue. After all, Beiguo is only a fiefdom within the Great Xia Dynasty, and a fiefdom is not qualified to establish diplomatic relations with the dynasty.

Dayue suddenly sent a mission saying that he wanted to help the Northern Kingdom, which was obviously not good-hearted.

I am afraid that Dayue wanted to sow discord and stimulate Emperor Xia, making Emperor Xia think that the Northern Kingdom was planning to become independent, so he established diplomatic relations with the Dayue Dynasty in private.

I don’t know if this is what the empress meant.

If this is the intention of the empress, it proves that the empress is an extremely restless emperor, and I am afraid that she has the ambition to expand the territory.

Lu Chen didn't take this matter to heart for the time being. He said to Wu Yuan: "Go back to Yancheng immediately and tell Dongfang Newspaper about the results of last night's battle immediately, so that Dongfang Newspaper can vigorously publicize it in the newspaper."

An army of 200,000 people fought against a barbarian army of 400,000 people, and they won a complete victory, and even killed a great master.

This is the first time in hundreds of years that a grand master has died on the battlefield. In the past, no matter it was a dynasty war or any other war, the grand master would not go to the battlefield, so no grand master died on the battlefield.

Lu Chen believed that such a huge victory was enough to deter some people with ulterior motives from coveting the Northern Kingdom. Of course, it would also make some people more fearful of the Northern Kingdom, thereby accelerating their thoughts of getting rid of him, the Northern King, such as his That father.

Wu Yuan asked at this time: "Your Majesty, when I came to Yancheng, the bachelor asked me to ask you, do you need to meet with Dayue's envoy?"

Hearing this question, Lu Chen asked, "What did the bachelor say?"

Wu Yuan replied: "The great scholar said it all depends on your wishes.

There is definitely no way for the Northern Kingdom to continue to survive. After all, their strength has been exposed, and Emperor Xia also vaguely plans to take action against the Northern Kingdom. Therefore, Zhuge Chongguang believes that it is no longer necessary for the Northern Kingdom to establish diplomatic relations with that dynasty. According to the Xia court's intention, as long as the Northern King is willing, it is not impossible for them to establish official channels of communication with the Dayue Dynasty.

Moreover, the Jiangnan rebels are still holding on, and the Daxia court has no intention of paying attention to what is happening in the North. Although they can't stand the North, they will not break their skin at this time.

The Northern Kingdom is already the most powerful among the feudal kingdoms. It would not be good for the Great Xia court to break up the relationship so early. If they want to deal with the Northern Kingdom, they will only attack the Northern Kingdom when they are ready to go to war with the Northern Kingdom.

From Emperor Xia's handling of the Jiangnan family, we can see that Emperor Xia was a cautious emperor. He only forced Lu Shuyun to go south when there was no external trouble and he was well prepared.

Moreover, the Northern Kingdom is different from the Jiangnan family. Since Lu Chen arrived in the Northern Kingdom, he has won three battles in a row.

The Jiangnan family was in disarray, and the rebels could not get together. It was not easy for the imperial army to deal with the Jiangnan family. But facing a feudal country like the Northern Kingdom that had killed nearly a million troops in total, Emperor Xia must be more cautious. There is no doubt about this.

When Emperor Xia learns about the battle in Ningbeicheng and re-evaluates the strength of the North, he will most likely choose to continue to maintain relations with the North.

After Lu Chen thought for a while, he then said to Wu Yuan: "Go back and tell the bachelor to let Dayue's envoy stay in the North Kingdom for a while. I will be back in half a month."

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Chen said: "Okay, go and do your work."

"My subordinates resign."

…

Seven days later.

Yancheng.

As soon as the latest newspaper from Oriental Press came out, it was sold out instantly.

Dongfang Longyue immediately asked Wangfu's printing house to hurry up and print another batch of newspapers. As a result, the newly printed newspapers were sold out in less than a quarter of an hour.

The news that the Northern Kingdom had destroyed King Apocalypse's 400,000 troops and beheaded King Apocalypse instantly caused a sensation throughout Yancheng.

People can't believe this news, especially spies from major dynasties and major forces.

King Tianqi is the great master! ! !

He was actually killed like that?

You must know that before attacking the Northern Kingdom, King Apocalypse also ran with the barbarian coalition to attack the Dayue Dynasty. When the empress personally went out to fight, King Apocalypse withdrew from the battlefield unharmed, but suffered a setback in the Northern Kingdom.

Xuanyue Restaurant.

Inside a certain private room.

A beautiful woman wearing black and white plain clothes, with a look that would captivate the country, was sitting at the table, looking at the note in her hand.

At this time, there were several old men standing in front of the woman. One of them was Wang Maoxue, who took the initiative to apply to Empress Dayue to be sent to the Northern Kingdom.

She then asked: "What did Zhuge Chongguang say?"

After hearing the woman's question, Wang Maoxue answered: "Mr. Murong, Zhuge Chongguang wants us to wait a little longer. When King Bei comes back, King Bei will personally receive us."

Hearing this, the woman said doubtfully: "Waiting for King Bei to come back?"

"Now King Bei is fighting with the barbarian army in Ningbeicheng. Can he escape at this time?"

"Is it possible that King Bei planned to let his subordinates drag him around Ningbeicheng while he returned to Yancheng alone?"

Wang Maoxue said: "I don't know. Maybe the barbarians' attack was not very violent. The King of the North thought that the barbarians were only tentatively attacking the northern kingdom and had no intention of actually attacking the northern kingdom."

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the woman said softly: "The door is open, come in."

The next moment, a man who was also part of Dayue's envoy entered the room. He was holding the newspaper that Dongfang News Agency had just published in his hand, and said breathlessly: "Big...big news, the barbarians...the 400,000 barbarian army has been destroyed, and the King of Apocalypse has been destroyed." Defeated and was... hoo hoo hoo... killed..."

After hearing these words, everyone in the room was stunned.

In an instant, the whole room became extremely quiet, and the sounds on the street outside became particularly harsh at this moment.

After a while, Wang Maoxue came back to his senses. He asked with a look of disbelief: "Where did you get the news? King Apocalypse has an army of 400,000 people. How could he be defeated so easily?"

The man immediately handed the newspaper in his hand to Wang Maoxue. Wang Maoxue picked up the newspaper and then glanced at the contents of the newspaper.

Today's Oriental Newspaper only talked about one thing, and that was the destruction of King Apocalypse's army in the North. Oriental Newspaper also described in the newspaper how the barbarian King Apocalypse's army had attacked Ningbei City in the past half month, and how Bei Kingdom How the king was not afraid in the face of danger, paralyzed the enemy, and then attacked decisively, destroying King Apocalypse's army in one night.

Of course, Oriental Newspaper did not record anything about firearms, and there were no firearms, so this newspaper looked particularly fake.

An army of 200,000 attacked the barbarian camp at night, and then destroyed King Apocalypse's army of 400,000, and even killed King Apocalypse, the great master?

Is it really that easy?

Are you kidding me?

Even if the barbarian army falls asleep at night, they will still have strong combat effectiveness when they react. What's more, King Tianqi's army is a large tribe that was separated from the former barbarian king. Their soldiers all have extremely strong combat effectiveness. , how could it collapse instantly after being attacked by a sneak attack?

Is this news false?

But judging from the intelligence collected by Dayue, the establishment of Dongfang News Agency was due to the approval of the Northern Palace. They should not spread false news without authorization, let alone war-related news.

Wang Maoxue frowned and immediately handed the newspaper to the woman, "Mr. Murong, please take a look."

The woman took the newspaper from Wang Maoxue and read the contents carefully.

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Murong Xueer frowned slightly, and then said to the people in the room: "I remember that there is an official newspaper in the North Kingdom. You should go and buy today's official newspaper immediately."

Hearing this, the man who had just delivered the newspaper immediately turned around and said, "Yes, I will go buy an official newspaper and bring it back."

After the man left the room, Wang Maoxue asked: "Mr. Murong, how credible do you think this news is?"

Murong Xueer replied: "It's completely credible."

Hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned.

A mission official asked: "Why does Mr. Murong believe so much in the newspaper? No matter how you look at it, this news seems to be false."

Murong Xueer said: "If Oriental Newspaper Company wants to print a newspaper, it must obtain the consent of Beiwang Mansion, so this news has naturally been reviewed by Beiwang Mansion."

"This shows that the Beiwang Mansion intentionally released this news."

"Since the Northern King came to the Northern Kingdom, he has experienced two battles without failure. In the battle of Tianguang City, although the Northern Kingdom claimed that they lost more than 40,000 cavalry, these heavy cavalry appeared again during the Northern Kingdom's military parade a month ago. This proves that they are just hiding their strength, they must have defeated the army of King Beixian in the battle of Tianguang City."

"Judging from these two battles, the military strength of the North is not weak."

Wang Maoxue interrupted at this time and said: "Sir Murong, the tribe of King Apocalypse is a large tribe separated from the barbarian royal court. The barbarian soldiers led by King Apocalypse are stronger than those in the north."

Murong Xueer said: "Master Wang also knows that the barbarian army led by King Tianqi is very strong, so why didn't Master Wang think about the fact that the Northern Kingdom was hiding its strength from the beginning?"

"this……"

Wang Maoxue was stunned for a moment, and then said: "The King of the North has only been in the Northern Kingdom for a few years..."

Murong Xueer said: "When the Sirius King's army was approaching Yancheng, how long had the Northern King been in the Northern Kingdom?"

"If you want to guess the military strength of the North, you obviously cannot look at it from a normal perspective."

"What kind of power is behind King Bei? Now, except for King Bei, I'm afraid no one knows. Even Her Majesty the Empress can't see through King Bei."

After hearing Murong Xueer's words, everyone fell into silence again.

Murong Xueer said: "When the official report from the Northern Kingdom comes out, we will know whether the news is true or false."

At this time, Wang Maoxue murmured: "No wonder Zhuge Chongguang asked us to wait a little longer today. It turns out that Zhuge Chongguang already knows the news of the victory of the Northern Army."

At this time, everyone's mood was rather complicated. Originally, they came to the Northern Kingdom with the idea of ​​aiding the Northern Kingdom. They also wanted the Dayue Dynasty in the Northern Kingdom to ask for something, but they did not expect that the war would end so quickly.

Everyone waited in the room for about a quarter of an hour before the people from the mission came back with the official report.

When everyone saw the news of Ningbeicheng's victory published in the official newspaper of the Northern Kingdom, they basically believed that the Northern Kingdom had really defeated the barbarian army led by King Tianqi.

This also made everyone in the mission realize a problem. King Apocalypse is the great master. To defeat King Apocalypse, the great master, there must be at least one great master on the battlefield. Zhuge Chongguang has been in Yancheng and has never left Yancheng. This Does this mean there is a hidden great master in the North?

A small feudal kingdom, two great masters? Is this still considered a lockdown?

I'm afraid that when the Northern King returns to Yancheng, he will have plans to proclaim himself emperor. Otherwise, why would Zhuge Chongguang say that the Northern King wants to meet the envoys of their Dayue Dynasty in person?

The news that the Northern Kingdom had defeated King Apocalypse's army was so exciting that it spread throughout several dynasties in less than half a month. Of course, it also reached the ears of Emperor Xia.

However, when Emperor Xia and the officials of the court knew the news, they did not learn it through the grapevine, but through the red silk messenger from the North.

Daxia Dynasty.

Xuanzheng Hall.

The court today was extremely lively. All the officials were discussing how to deal with Lu Shuyun. The civil war in Daxia was coming to an end. Although Lu Shuyun had not been captured yet, the court had surrounded Sufeng City where Lu Shuyun was. Lu Shuyun, the The former prince is at the end of his rope.

Just when people were discussing intensely, a loud voice came from outside, "Urgent report from the North Country!!!"

Upon hearing this, the entire court fell silent instantly.

North?

What's the urgent news from the North?

Is it possible that the 200,000-strong army of the Northern Kingdom was defeated by King Apocalypse?
