Supreme pardon

"Different from the powerful jackdaws in the Western Continent, the Holy Cauldron King's Domain is in the Eastern Continent, and has a far-reaching influence on us. Now they are sending invitations to the world, and they are already the leader of our Eastern Continent. I think You must be cautious about the invitation." Lan An was rarely serious, staring at the invitation on the table, worried: "Whether refusal will offend them? Resistance."

"Otherwise, let's wait and see what the other royal districts do?" an elderly elder suggested.

Some people were aggrieved, "What if we went? Isn't this just a Hongmen banquet to force surrender?"

"I'm really going, not to mention surrender, at least I have tacitly agreed to a subordination relationship."

"I heard that the jackdaws in the Western Continent are quite barbaric and vicious. Soon after the unification of the Western Continent, blood flowed into rivers. Anyone who disobeyed or disobeyed would die."

"The east and west continents have been approaching faster in the past few years, and it is also visible that they will merge into one in the near future."

"Just judging from the current actions of the Jackdaw King's Domain, they are eyeing the Eastern Continent covetously, and they are bound to win. According to their previous style, if they really want to land, I am afraid it will be a catastrophe."

"So this newly established Shengding wants to be the leader?"

"Even if our Eastern Continent wants to organize an alliance army to fight against the Jackdaws, it will not be Shengding's turn."

"So who do you say is suitable? Revival? They never interfere with this."

Messy discussions have continued. Over the years, the kingship has undergone tremendous changes due to the emergence of the crystal nucleus system, and the general trend has been pushed towards mergers. Because humans have become stronger again, the living space of aliens and beasts has been compressed again. propensity to reproduce.

And within human beings, the power structure is also shuffled due to the re-division of power. The first thing kings face is no longer the survival of the king's district, so the desire for power will lead to fighting.

When this planet falls into the hands of humans again, the wars and plots that have been turned over in the past will return.

Wen Renjue returned to his seat and sat down, crossing his legs, the old god was listening to the arguments of his subordinates.

Some advocated to go, some advocated absolutely not to go, and some suggested to look at the practices of other royal districts first.

After Lan An expressed his worries, he remained silent. He stared at Wen Ren Jue, waiting for an answer.

After following this person for so long, how could he not know that in the face of such a matter, the final decision must still be decided by the Lord himself.

"Okay, okay." Seeing the hot-tempered people below, who were already jealous and thick necks, they were about to make a move, Wen Renjue stopped in a low voice, pinched the pen on the table with two fingers, turned it, and when it stopped He clicked on the invitation, and said casually: "The most important thing for us right now is to keep a close eye on the thirteenth and tenth districts. As for this invitation, it can only be said that it came at an inopportune time."

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, toss it aside and ignore it.

Those who are worried about Shengding have worried faces, but they know their king's temper, and if they don't say anything, there is absolutely no possibility of changing it.

The group stopped speaking dejectedly, and the group bowed their heads in silence, and began to think about what might happen later.

There are also those who are determined not to go. Hearing what Wenren Jue said, he immediately showed a sigh of relief. I am inferior to others for nothing.

They have never heard what Wang said about the future, they just followed the rhythm and walked out step by step.

But when the power in their hands is getting bigger and bigger, they all start to imagine what they didn't dare to think about before.

If in the future, the tenth and thirteenth districts fall into the hands, then the southeast, which has never been out of the king's domain, can still create a powerful king's domain.

They don't need to submit to anyone.

After deciding to finish speaking, Wen Renjue casually threw the invitation back to Lan An, and said with a smile, "You can make up an excuse for refusing."

Although I said no, I can't write too straightforwardly in the reply.

It is still necessary to find a step that allows the other party to pass.

Lan An had no choice but to lower his head and draw out his voice, and said strangely, "What can I do?"

Such an attitude was very sad to watch, but it made many high-level people in the hall who were still tense just now laugh out loud.

Regarding the newly established Saint Cauldron King Domain and the invitation post, it was just thrown aside.

After Zhan Pei went back, the thirteenth district was in turmoil. He was merciless towards his brother, not to mention that he mercilessly moved his hands on the road in front of everyone, but after he went back, he directly threw him into the dungeon. Forget it, and repair and check the people who followed Zhanhe in the king's district one by one.

When the turmoil subsided for a while, Zhan Pei started to think again.

Although the younger brother is stupid, but this time he was plotted by someone with a heart. After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, he called his confidants and counselors together to discuss countermeasures with a grim face.

A perfect reversal plan just went bankrupt halfway. Let's not delve into how the news of their plan to join forces with the Tenth District leaked to Wenren Jue, but it is very difficult to deal with the current situation.

I went out for a trip and didn't get anything. I didn't say anything, but my side ceded two cities for no reason. The envoy of the [-]th district who was in charge of the negotiation was very smart. He was not dazzled by the prosperity of those big cities. The two cities he wanted were both Carefully chosen location.

Both Ningcheng and Yecheng are geographically far away from the main area of ​​the Thirteenth District.

There is a certain distance, and they depend on each other, and they can use each other as a way to advance and retreat. It really depends on the war to get it back.

"My lord, maybe you haven't noticed..." Pan Zhiyi held a small stick in his hand, and clicked somewhere on the map hanging on the wall, "The news doesn't mean that after the Seventeenth District occupied Ningcheng, a large number of civilians were summoned Is it escorting mud and sand to fill the downstream waters?"

It is often necessary to strengthen the city defense after occupying the city, but the [-]th District did not do that. Instead, some water conservancy projects were spent on people and money.

This news was mixed with big and small information, and not many people noticed it.

Facing everyone's thoughtful or confused expressions, Pan Zhiyi calmly said, "They want to block the water in front of Mount Fen and dig through the Niutou Dam."

"What's the intention?" Zhan Pei is not stupid, he didn't pay attention to this news before, but now that his advisers have brought it up, there must be intentions in it.

"I also didn't sleep last night, and I suddenly figured it out after repeated thinking. For Yan Zhen, who occupied the second city of Ning and Ye, what is he most worried about? It is our counterattack. Although the two cities are isolated, compared to the They are in the [-]th District, obviously we are closer and understand the situation in the city better. If we really make up our minds, we can take it back, let alone whether we will be scruples about blatantly tearing our faces and causing changes in the situation in the [-]th District... Could it be that they Are you not worried at all?"

Yeah, actually it's a mistake to go too deep and get too close to them alone.

It is meaningless to guard two small cities alone.

They want it back, anytime they want.

"They must have something to rely on." Looking into Zhan Pei's eyes, Pan Zhiyi slowed down his tone and said softly, "Have you all paid attention to the Xijiang Reservoir above Ningcheng?"

A word to awaken the dreamer.

The soft tone was very gentle, but it made everyone sitting in the hall pale.

"No... isn't it? Could it be that they..."

"Once we are going to march back to Ningcheng, it will be a rainy season for half a year. Think about it, what will happen if the Xijiang Reservoir is blown up."

Such a vicious thing, I'm afraid no one would dare to think about it.

"Are they crazy? If the Xijiang Reservoir is blown up, the second city of Ningye will be flooded first." The voice trembled, and the middle-aged man sitting on the lower left shook his head frequently.

"Yes, they can't escape, but we will be the ones who will suffer the most. The reservoir bursts, and the mighty water will continue to submerge Licheng and Wangcheng with the power of destroying the world."

Silent.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the blue area on the map. No one has ever thought about this before, but now after Pan Zhiyi's analysis, and looking at what Yan Zhen's gang is doing now, I'm afraid it's almost the same. .

"What should I do?"

"Now we have to wait until the rainy season is over before making any plans."

"Enough!" Shouted out irritably, Zhan Pei put one hand behind his waist and clenched it tightly, but his tone was very ordinary, and he looked at the counselors very calmly, and said solemnly: "Now you have to think about it, we How to deal with the upcoming situation, Jiang Baifeng in the [-]th district is now very suspicious of us, and the [-]th district has clearly learned of our plan, so it might be inappropriate to talk about an alliance with the tenth district."

"If we can't deal with it properly, we will make enemies on both sides, and then we will be passive." The young man with a hooked nose said heavily.

Ning and Ye Ercheng will be easy to deal with in the future, and the most important thing at present is the tenth district.

If Wenren Jue and Jiang Baifeng were to join forces, that would be the real problem.

"Maeno, what do you think?" Zhan Pei frowned deeply, and looked at the elderly man sitting on the right.

Wearing light gray clothes, the man named by Zhan Pei lowered his head, thinking about something.

Different from other people's dejected and frowning faces, the oldest one, on the contrary, is very energetic. He looked at everyone in the hall one by one with bright eyes, straightened up, knelt down to Zhan Pei, and respectfully said: "My king, for today's The only solution is to reconcile with the [-]th district and stabilize our relationship."

"Oh?" Zhan Pei asked suspiciously.

"Didn't Wen Renjue also know that we broke the contract first, but now he hasn't made any big moves, we just tear each other up in private, although both of us know that the other party can't be trusted, but we didn't really trust each other from the beginning, as long as As long as the harmony on the surface is still there, we can still join hands."

"Then he swallowed our Ning and Ye Ercheng, so let's forget it?" The big-eyed man sitting beside him was furious. He was the head of the war department of the [-]th district, and he was very annoyed at the loss of his own city.

"But, we broke the contract first, and secretly contacted the tenth district to get rid of them, didn't we?" Qian Ye turned his head and said calmly.

The stout man blushed and was speechless for a long time.

Zhan Pei pondered and asked, "What about after that?"

Qian Ye showed a smile, his king really understood him, if this is the case, everything will just go back to the beginning, which is meaningless.

"The reconciliation is only on the surface. What we want is to delay the time. The time for Heidu's pawn is almost ripe now." The words were cryptic, but Zhan Pei understood.

His eyes trembled, and he fell silent.

His face was very serious, and after a long time, his gaze was firm, he waved his hand, and said gruffly: "It's time, if we procrastinate, there will only be more changes. As long as the assassination is successful, the beggars will welcome us into the city, and it will be too late to wait for Xiangyang to react." It's too late, when we have the royal city in hand and spread from the center to the outside, they will become nothing to fear."

"Yes, when the time comes, one will fade away. If Wenrenjue wants to keep the frontline troops, he will withdraw them sooner or later. Otherwise, they will be swallowed up by us bit by bit. When we finish digesting the tenth district, we will bring the power of thunder It's easy to wipe out Wenrenjue's three king districts." Qianye Liu said: "The most important thing is that this cover must be perfect, completely attract Wenrenjue's attention and appease him, stabilize the delay, and let us have time Carry out the plan."

"Hmm." Zhan Pei was engrossed. From the very beginning, they had two strategies. First, they pretended to agree to join forces with Wen Ren Jue, and then killed Wen Ren Jue after the tenth district was almost finished.

But the situation has changed too much, and the [-]th district is not all useless. The front line did not know how to fight, but they took down three cities one after another, causing a stalemate.

At that time, they originally wanted to implement the second strategy, directly sending "beggars" from the Heidu area to assassinate Jiang Baifeng, and enter when the situation was in chaos.

It's a pity that this strategy is too risky, and Pan Zhiyi timely proposed a strategy to fight steadily, that is, to use the situation to force the tenth district to join forces with them, ceding the big city to make their side stronger, and then slowly follow the weak Jiang Baifeng "Play".

Regrettably, now this strategy has been broken, not to mention two cities have been lost.

Really steal the chicken without losing the rice.

The conditions at Heidu have become more and more mature, and Zhanpei's most trusted adviser, Qianye, also thinks that he should make a decisive decision.

After making up your mind, the most important thing is... to choose a candidate.

"I don't know who is willing to be the envoy this time, and go to the seventeenth district to learn about people's secrets?"

Walking back to the throne, Zhan Pei glanced at the crowd.

Several ministers and counselors were all silent, some deliberately avoided looking at him, and some looked at him with a guilty conscience.

Who knows what the result of going to District [-] this time will be. Although it is said that they have not broken their faces, they broke the contract first. Wenren Jue has a bad reputation. He is very mysterious and unpredictable. People knew if he would not listen to anything and directly kill people.

And this time in the past, it was not just about reconciliation, but also trying to hold people back so that they would have more time to implement their own strategies.

It's no ordinary job.

Those who have the courage to go, are not confident that they can handle this matter well, and those who are confident are somewhat hesitant.

For a moment no one made a sound and volunteered.

Zhan Pei's face was dark and his eyes turned cold.

Pan Zhiyi looked left and right, a dark light flashed in his eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up and quickly fell flat, he walked out of the crowd calmly, knelt down under the steps, and respectfully said: "My lord, I wish to go."
