"The Third Prince of Hao?" Ah Da asked doubtfully.
"That's right, it's The Third Prince of Hao. I want to ask, after he died, where was his body buried?" Zhong Shan stared at Ah Da and asked.
"Body? It's not buried! "Ah Da said.
"It's not buried?" Zhong Shan asked doubtfully.
"Yes, at night, The Third Prince of Hao's lifespan ran out and he died. The horned dragon also abandoned him and ran away. After the corpse was checked by everyone, it was kept by the princess. "Ah Da thought for a moment and said.
"It's with the princess?" Zhong Shan said in surprise.
"Yes, at that time, no one dared to fight with the princess. The princess said that she wanted to bring back The Third Prince of Hao's bloodline and find someone to study it. It might be in the princess's hands or in Tian Lao's hands. "Ah Da thought for a moment and said.
"The princess asked Tian Lao to study it?" Zhong Shan said with a frown.
"The princess said so before." Ah Da said.
Hearing Ah Da's words, Zhong Shan slowly sat down and thought for a while with a frown. Ah Da, on the other hand, waited respectfully at the side.
After thinking for a while, Zhong Shan said, "Ah Da, there's something I need you to do now!"
"Sir, please speak!" Ah Da immediately replied.
"I'll write a letter. You must hand it over to the princess. The princess will arrange for you to do it." Zhong Shan looked at Ah Da.
"Sir, you want me to return to the Immemorial Sacred Capital?" Ah Da said in surprise.
"Yes, hurry to the Immemorial Sacred Capital. I'll immediately write a letter to the princess. Don't worry about me, there's no problem with my safety. Before you return, I won't send troops. I'll wait for you in Wushuang City!" Zhong Shan said seriously.
Looking at Zhong Shan, Ah Da thought for a moment and said, "Yes!"
The next day, Ah Da disappeared in front of everyone!
Zhong Shan wasn't in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he sent a letter directly to Grand Xuan City and placed it on the Grand Xuan King's desk.
The Grand Xuan King sat in front of the desk, holding that letter and reading it over and over again. Seven or eight strategists stood in front of him, also in the midst of a discussion.
Gently putting down Zhong Shan's letter, the Grand Xuan King looked at the group of strategists.
"You all know the contents of the letter. What do you all think about Zhong Shan?" The Grand Xuan King slowly asked.
"Your Highness, based on what Zhong Shan has done in the past few years, he is a man of great strategy. He is neither arrogant nor rash, and he is exceptionally experienced in handling matters. He is a rare talent, and Your Highness needs someone like him," one of the advisors said.
"He is tactful in handling matters, has outstanding intelligence, is able to judge the situation, and makes decisive decisions. How can he be described as a mere talent? They had fought against the eight million soldiers of the Great Yu Empire with a group of weaklings, incurred the wrath of the heavens with their research article, and took down the natural stronghold of Peerless City with twenty thousand casualties. Anyone else would be proud of these achievements, but Zhong Shan treated them as if nothing had happened at all. Such shrewdness was abnormally terrifying! This person isn't a descendant of the Great Yu Empire's officials. It can only be said that his ambition is too great. These heaven-defying achievements are nothing compared to his ambition, far from it! "another advisor said.
"Ambition?" The Grand Xuan King's four pupils shrank. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Highness, it is precisely because of this ambition that Your Highness doesn't have to worry about him being bribed by Prince Zhengyi. Whatever favor Princess Qianyou can give him, Your Highness can give him the same favor, or even more. Unless, unless Princess Qianyou offers her body! Your Highness cannot give this to him, "the advisor from before shook his head and said with a smile.
"Princess Qianyou? I can give it to him as well. However, this matter still needs to wait. Lin 'er is standing in the center, and everything is still unclear, "the Grand Xuan King said after some thought.
Thinking of Gu Lin's Heaven's Equal, the advisors frowned slightly.
"Your Highness, in my opinion, Zhong Shan can use the sharpest sword well. However, the hilt of this sword is too short. Although it is sharp, there is a possibility of injuring oneself. If you want to use it well, you must have sufficient ability and technique," the advisor at the front said at this moment.
Once he spoke, the others all nodded and shut their mouths. Evidently, this advisor had a very high prestige among them.
"This king is an expert swordsman!" the Grand Xuan King said with a smile.
At the same time, he revealed to everyone that he was determined to obtain Zhong Shan.
"Since Your Highness has decided, then we can proceed with the matter stated in this letter," the first advisor said with a nod.
"Fifteen Immortal Monuments? What arrogance. As long as we give him fifteen Immortal Monuments, he can conquer twelve cities in a year? "one of the advisors said with a frown.
"A year? Anyone else might not be able to conquer a city even in ten years, but he only needs one year? And twelve cities in a row? That's really too arrogant. How is he going to conquer a city? Just fifteen Immortal Monuments is enough? "another advisor said with a frown.
"No, do you remember that a figure came to Peerless City more than half a year ago?" the first advisor said.
"The West Poison Sovereign? He wants to find the West Poison Sovereign for help? "the first advisor asked in shock.
"The West Poison Sovereign is looking for the Immortal Monuments. He can't be thinking of using the Immortal Monuments to bribe the West Poison Sovereign and poison an entire city of people to intimidate the other eleven cities, right?"
"Poison an entire city of people? He definitely wouldn't dare. Only a lunatic like the West Poison Monarch would do such a thing. Moreover, it was during the time of revenge. Zhong Shan wouldn't stoop to such a low level just to attack the city, "said the strategist from before.
"Your Highness, regardless of what Zhong Shan does, if he can really conquer twelve cities in a year, those fifteen Immortal Monuments are nothing," the advisor said.
"Oh?" The Grand Xuan King looked at the advisor. Although he had already made up his mind, he still wanted to hear what they had to say.
"First, the Immortal Monuments don't belong to Your Highness. Your Highness is only applying for them from His Majesty, so Your Highness won't lose anything. Secondly, the seventy-two Immortal Monuments are useless in the Ministry of Works. Why not let Your Highness use them to create a great victory? Furthermore, His Majesty doesn't attach much importance to the Immortal Monuments. Lastly, if Zhong Shan really succeeds, the situation in the south will definitely change greatly, a change that will be beneficial to Your Highness' army. Even if he doesn't succeed, Your Highness can still use this opportunity to grant Zhong Shan a favor."
"Good!" the Grand Xuan King said with a satisfied smile.
Peerless City! City Lord's Mansion, Central Hall!
All the generals looked at Zhong Shan anxiously.
"Marshal! It's already been eight months since the imperial edict was issued. Are we still not going to conquer the twelve cities? "Shui Wuhen said with a frown.
"Is your army done training?" Zhong Shan frowned as he looked at Shui Wuhen.
"I've reduced some and recruited some. Now, we have an army of five hundred thousand. The training is in place," Shui Wuhen said after some thought.
"Five hundred thousand? Haha, each city has a million guards. How are you going to attack them? Continue training, "Zhong Shan said with a shake of his head.
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen could only nod helplessly.
"Marshal, the other legions have already started attacking. Are we the only ones not moving?" Zhao Chuan frowned.
"The other legions? Tell me, how are the others doing? "Zhong Shan asked.
"In the past eight months, the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty's army has already conquered four Great Yu Empire's cities. Not long ago, Heavenly Marquis Qitian conquered his second city and is currently recuperating," Zhao Chuan said.
"Oh? Heavenly Marquis Qitian has already conquered two cities? That's not simple. How are Heavenly Marquis Qitian's losses? "Zhong Shan asked.
"The losses are disastrous. He needs to recuperate for at least half a year before he can continue attacking," Zhao Chuan said.
"So disastrous? Haha, what about the army targeting the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty? "Zhong Shan asked.
"The army targeting the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty has encountered difficulties," Zhao Chuan said.
"What difficulties?" Zhong Shan asked.
"Xiao Wang of the Great Guang Imperial Dynasty is too good at using troops. Shui Jing conquered two cities, Jin Chan conquered one, and the other generals conquered three cities. However, it didn't take long for Xiao Wang to recapture two cities and conquer two cities of our Daluo Sky Empire," Zhao Chuan said.
"In other words, they conquered six cities and lost four?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"Yes!" Zhao Chuan replied.
Looking at Zhao Chuan, Zhong Shan smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. I'm waiting for something. When it arrives, we will attack the city. Now, train the troops. Soldiers are the foundation of an army."
"Yes!" The generals could only nod and sigh.
"Also, have you collected all the information on the generals of the twelve cities in Linhai?" Zhong Shan looked at Zhao Chuan and asked.
"I've collected all that I can. I'm still sending people to collect those that I can't," Zhao Chuan replied.
"Okay, hurry up and collect. Our army, if we do not move, then we will move like a hot knife through butter! "Zhong Shan consoled the generals.
"Yes!" The generals nodded.
Then, the generals continued to train the troops. Zhong Shan, on the other hand, was constantly looking at the collected information. One day, when Zhong Shan was resting, he called Nian Youyou over.
"What's wrong? You only thought of me now? "Nian Youyou looked extremely aggrieved.
She looked at Zhong Shan with her big watery eyes like a resentful wife.
Zhong Shan had a headache and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see something."
Nian Youyou looked a little puzzled. Why did Zhong Shan suddenly look for her? What was she looking at?
Not long after, Zhong Shan brought Nian Youyou to the square of the City Lord's Mansion.
When they arrived at the square, Nian Youyou's eyes widened and she stopped moving.
That was because the square was filled with all kinds of flowers at the moment. Colorful flowers gathered in all directions.
They all had a common name, roses! (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please go to www.qidian.com, there are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
