"Don't give up eating for fear of choking!"
Jiang Tian's words were concise and comprehensive.
"That's the theory, but the reality is indeed difficult!"
Lin Hanqing sighed with melancholy. "We have limited troops. Once we send troops to guard the thirteen cities, it will stretch the battle line and weaken the defense of Maple City's main camp. And the Southern Border Dukes around Maple City are all Purple Marquis's henchmen. If we want to send troops to suppress them, it will be difficult to satisfy both sides! "
"Are you Purple Marquis's greatest enemy?"
When faced with Lin Hanqing's anxious gaze, Jiang Tian was completely calm and composed, and he suddenly smiled as he spoke.
"This? It's me, and it's not me. His real enemy is the Eastern Royal Family! "
Lin Hanqing said.
"Marquis is not stupid!"
Jiang Tian smiled leisurely. "You took the thirteen cities this time, not for yourself, but for the Eastern Royal Family! If Princess Mo Yu is not a fool, and if Eastern Lu is not a fool, they will take the opportunity to reward you. Troops, cultivators, magic weapons, just for one thing, to suppress Purple Marquis! "
"Is that so?"
While Lin Hanqing was still doubtful, Zhang Xuan suddenly said, "What?
Suddenly, the communication magical artifact at his waist flashed.
"Princess Mo Yu summons you in the palace. Marquis Lin, please leave immediately. You must bring guest Jiang Siqing! "
Seeing these lines of words, Lin Hanqing was dumbfounded. Then, he slapped his thigh and laughed. "Mr. Jiang, you are really good! You can predict things like a god. Not only are you proficient in the path of cultivation, but you are also very clear about the situation of the Empire. You can see it clearly! "
The horse turned its head, and the dragon horse galloped through the air, sweeping across the sky in the deep night, towards the Princess Royal's palace.
Princess Mo Yu's palace in Jiang Han City was like a city within a city. The walls were towering and thick, densely covered with Dao patterns, and various layers of formations. The halls were like military fortresses. There was not the slightest bit of beauty, but practicality. Armor and soldiers stood in great numbers, heavily guarded, and battle formations laid out horizontally, exuding an iron-blooded murderous aura.
There were several Soul Formation experts overseeing it.
At this time, Princess Mo Yu had already used the communication magical artifact to send news of tonight's banquet to her royal brother Eastern Lu.
After receiving the news, Eastern Lu was silent for a long time.
"Royal Brother, I feel that Purple Marquis's ambition is no longer concealed. He's about to jump over the wall like a cornered dog!" Eldest Princess Mo Yu said boldly.
"I've been the number one marquis in the world for a long time, so it's inevitable that I'm tired of it. It's human nature to want to advance further. "
Eastern Lu's tone sounded flat, but it was laced with a murderous aura that made one's breathing labored.
"It's a good thing that he's forcing Lin Hanqing, a tough nut to crack. If it were some other slightly softer duke, I'm afraid they would have given in on the spot."
When Eldest Princess Mo Yu recalled the situation at that time, she was also extremely dissatisfied with Purple Marquis's performance.
In front of the representatives of the royal family, he seized the territory of another marquis by force. This might seem like a fight between dukes, but in reality, wasn't it a slap to the imperial family's face?
Eastern Lu sighed softly, "The affairs of the world are unpredictable. If this were a few days ago, who would have thought that the Lin father and son would be Our lucky stars?"
Thinking of the current situation in the Empire, Eastern Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Perhaps many factions now think that the Lin father and son are members of my Eastern Clan, and even that Jiang Siqing is a chess piece that Our Emperor had arranged long ago?"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu also smiled. "If I didn't know the inside story, I'm afraid I would also think so."
"Have you noticed that the changes in the Empire's situation seem to be inseparable from a figure at every link?"
"Jiang Siqing?"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu's bright eyes moved slightly as she blurted out.
"Royal Sister, you've noticed as well?"
Eastern Lu smiled playfully and said,
"I heard that the beloved son of the Duke of the Northern Frontier, Bai Zhanyun, was severely injured by him twice, and his dantian exploded. The Duke of the Eastern Gorge, Long Juxue, was originally infected with a cold poison, but he didn't get a medicinal stone from the Ancient Medicine Hall. He's still begging for medicine everywhere … This top duke originally wanted to use the Hidden Dragon Trials to reform and annex other dukes, but now he's worried about protecting his title and fief!
"That's not all. Crown Prince Dongfang Ding suddenly began to investigate the second prince. Haha, it turns out that he's never taken Dongfang Li seriously! Last time when Jiang Siqing flew past the Imperial Capital on the Ancient Medicine Hall's flying ship, the second prince came out of the city to welcome her. That night, the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace was brightly lit all night, as if he was plotting something! "
"Royal Brother, are you worried that the Crown Prince and the second prince will cause trouble!?"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu immediately understood the meaning of the song and immediately asked.
"Our Emperor is still here, and they also understand our meaning. The problem of the dukes hasn't been resolved yet. Whoever dares to fight for the throne will die!"
Eastern Lu said with a faint smile.
"It's good that they understand! They can't even protect the pie, and they still want to share it, that's a fool! "
Eldest Princess Mo Yu sighed.
"After Dongfang Ding learned that Ying 'er's chronic illness was cured with Jiang Siqing's help, and that she had ascended to the Nascent Soul stage, he submitted a secret memorial. Guess what he wrote?"
Eastern Lu suddenly laughed.
"His Highness the Crown Prince may have three strategies."
Eldest Princess Mo Yu said without hesitation:
"The worst strategy is that Princess Ying's Nine Yin Body is exposed, and the matter of her collusion with the imperial doctor to fake her birthday is exposed. He exposed this matter and reported the Western Palace for the crime of deceiving the Emperor. After investigating this matter, he asked you to banish the second prince and the imperial concubine to the cold palace! Although the evidence is conclusive and there is a target, it appears narrow-minded and lacking in grandeur. "
"The second strategy is to take advantage of your rejection of the sects and arrange the relationship between the Zhenyuan Marquis' Lin family and the Ancient Medicine Hall to make you wary of the Zhenyuan Marquis, but in essence, it's to weaken the second prince. Because the Zhenyuan Marquis and the second prince are very close now! This strategy is deeply favored by Royal Brother, and it's very easy to succeed. "
"The best strategy is to rope in the Zhenyuan Marquis, show his good intentions, and tempt him with benefits. The second prince will be completely alone, and he will have more help and chips to suppress the Purple Marquis. He will be able to establish his career in the dukes' struggle for hegemony. But there's also danger, and it will appear too ambitious! "
"Royal Sister, you're really sharp!"
Eastern Lu sighed:
"But, it's not. In his memorial, he asked me to promote Jiang Siqing to the Crown Prince's tutor, to live in the Crown Prince's residence in the Eastern Palace, to teach him the ways of cultivation, and to help him govern the country. In short, make use of him, and at the same time … strictly monitor and screen him! "
"Amazing!"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu laughed:
"The Crown Prince is wise enough to see that Jiang Siqing is the key! As long as he could win Jiang Siqing over to his side, both Lin Hanqing and the Second Prince would have lost an arm. Furthermore, he could prevent Jiang Siqing from getting too close to the Hall of Ancient Herbs and gradually becoming an uncontrollable force in the empire! His plans are farsighted and watertight! "
"Sigh, there's one more thing. The Crown Prince likes that girl Fang Gouyu!"
Eastern Lu laughed bitterly:
"Originally, if the Purple Marquis had remained dormant for the time being and not made the situation so tense, I could still issue an edict … But now, being the Emperor is so boring!"
"Royal Brother, these matters are still far away. What's more urgent is the thirteen cities!"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu smiled.
"Isn't that simple? Zhenyuan Marquis' Jiang Siqing cured my beloved daughter. If I don't reward him greatly, who will be loyal to the Empire and work for the Imperial Family in the future! Give him a generous reward. Troops, magical equipment, powerful cultivators, you have a lot of subordinates! "
Eastern Lu laughed softly and said leisurely: "Jiang Siqing and Lin Hanqing defeated the Purple Marquis beautifully. If I don't support them, won't they be bitterly disappointed?"
"Royal Brother, you're targeting me again!"
Eldest Princess Mo Yu was also helpless.
"Who asked you to be the Empire's number one Goddess of War!"
Eastern Lu laughed.
At this time, a palace maid reported that Jiang Siqing and Lin Hanqing were already waiting outside the palace.
"They're already here?"
Eastern Lu laughed: "No matter what, at least for now, we must support Lin Hanqing and his son! As for how and how, you decide! "With that, he cut off the transmission.
Grand Princess Mo Yu sighed helplessly. She turned around and revealed a smile, saying:
"Summon them into the palace!"
