"We are incompetent! Your Majesty, please calm down! "
Seeing Ouyang Tiande's anger, the civil and military officials all knelt down in fear and uttered a useless sentence in unison. They put on a terrified expression, but no one knew if it was real or fake fear.
Other than Zhao Kuo, the other three Imperial Advisors of the Qilin Kingdom were also in the main hall. When they saw Ouyang Tiande's anger, they didn't dare to sit on the Imperial Advisor's chair anymore. They all stood up and turned to face Ouyang Tiande.
Ouyang Tiande glanced at the three Imperial Advisors, then glanced at Zhao Kuo's seat. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Three Imperial Advisors, do you know why Imperial Advisor Zhao didn't come to the main hall for discussion?"
Wang Chen, Sun Fan, and Li Jin looked at each other and finally, Wang Chen said seriously, "Your Majesty! Rumor has it that Imperial Advisor Zhao hasn't been in Fire Spirit City for a few days. Where did he go? Where did he go? "
"Hmm? Not in Fire Spirit City? I thought he was still recuperating. " Ouyang Tiande was slightly stunned, then a puzzled expression appeared on his face. He felt that it was strange that Zhao Kuo would quietly leave Fire Spirit City when there were internal and external troubles, so he asked, "Do you know which day he left Fire Spirit City?"
"It seems to be the same day that Young Master Xiao Chen left Fire Spirit City." Wang Chen said uncertainly. The puzzled expression on his face showed that he didn't speak.
"The same day as Xiao Chen?" Ouyang Tiande's small eyes gradually narrowed and shot out a bit of fierce light. After a moment, his eyes suddenly widened and he said fiercely, "I hope he doesn't find trouble with Xiao Chen. If it affects Xiao Chen's search for the princess, I will make him regret doing something he shouldn't have done. Hmph!"
Wang Chen, Sun Fan, and Li Jin looked at each other and saw a trace of fear in each other's eyes. They didn't dare to look at Ouyang Tiande. They slightly lowered their heads and stood silently. Accompanying a ruler was like accompanying a tiger. If they angered the ruler and were charged with the crime of deceiving the ruler, they would be beheaded.
Ouyang Tiande saw the three Imperial Advisors' fearful expressions and felt slightly proud. Other than worrying about the princess, he also used Zhao Kuo's matter to establish his power. The Zhao clan's strength was the strongest among the four clans. If the Ouyang clan completely suppressed the Zhao clan, then the other three clans could be easily controlled.
Ouyang Tiande was an ambitious and scheming ruler. He planned to unify the world, achieve hegemony, and become an emperor. The prerequisite was to control all the influential clans in the Qilin Kingdom. He would have the authority to use the Qilin Kingdom's manpower, resources, and financial resources as he wished. Only then would he have enough capital to conquer the other kingdoms and achieve his ultimate goal of unifying the continent.
In the grand hall, there was a moment of silence. Apart from the three Imperial Advisors, there was a black mass of people kneeling in the center of the grand hall. There were two types of kneeling. The generals were kneeling on one knee while the civil officials were kneeling on both knees. It could be seen that in this world where martial arts were respected, even in the kingdom, martial artists were much nobler than the civil officials.
Fifteen minutes later, Ouyang Tiande was almost done showing off his prowess. He spoke loudly, "Does any of the officials have a good plan to defeat the army of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom? Hurry up and say it. If I thinks it is feasible, there will be a reward! "
After hearing Ouyang Tiande's words, the civil and military officials, including the three Imperial Advisors, were all thinking of a feasible plan. After a while, no one came up with a good plan. The Qilin Kingdom and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom had similar military strength, and they had been fighting for more than ten years without a clear winner. They had always been in an evenly matched situation. How could it be easy to defeat the Heaven Mystics Kingdom?
Sun Fan wanted to obtain a reward from Ouyang Tiande, so he was racking his brains to think of a feasible plan. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he spoke with high spirits, "Your Majesty! This official has a plan! I wonder if I should say it? "
"Oh?"
When Ouyang Tiande saw that none of the civil and military officials said anything, he was about to burst out in anger again. When he heard Sun Fan speaking, he held back his anger and asked curiously, "Imperial Advisor Sun, please speak your mind!"
"Replying to Your Majesty. For a long time, our Qilin Kingdom and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom have been evenly matched. We have fought countless battles, big and small, and neither of us could do anything to the other." Sun Fan spoke slowly and started to talk nonsense. When he saw Ouyang Tiande's impatient expression, he finally got to the main point. "We can look for a third faction to join us. In other words, we can look for an ally to deal with the Heaven Mystics Kingdom together."
"Ally?" Ouyang Tiande was slightly startled, but his eyes lit up immediately. He asked anxiously, "Imperial Advisor Sun, where are we going to look for an ally? What kind of ally should we look for? "
"The North Mystics Kingdom." Sun Fan spoke these three words in an unfathomable manner and smiled without saying anything.
"North Mystics Kingdom?"
When Ouyang Tiande heard about the North Mystics Kingdom, he didn't feel happy. Instead, he frowned and spoke with disappointment, "The North Mystics Kingdom has always been a neutral kingdom. We did send a special envoy to the royal palace of the North Mystics Kingdom, but the stubborn King of the North Mystics Kingdom, Huangfu Shengtian, refused to form an alliance with us no matter what! Imperial Advisor Sun, what ideas do you have? "
"It is rumored that Huangfu Shengtian is extremely lustful. Why don't we send one or a few absolute beauties to him to express our sincerity and promise that once the two kingdoms work together to eradicate the Heaven Mystics Kingdom, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's territory will be split into two. The Qilin Kingdom and the North Mystics Kingdom will each take half of the territory."
Sun Fan revealed his plan and added with a sinister smile, "Once the Heaven Mystics Kingdom is eradicated, it will be up to our powerful Qilin Kingdom to decide if we will give the North Mystics Kingdom half of the territory. What's more, it will be time for His Majesty to unify the world. Hehe!"
"This is a great plan!"
Ouyang Tiande praised on the surface, but he was cursing in his heart. Such a plan! He immediately ordered, "Imperial Advisor Sun! You are the one who came up with this plan. I will hand over the responsibility of convincing the North Mystics Kingdom to you! You will depart today, and I wish you success! If you succeed, I will confer you the title of Imperial Advisor! "
"Ah? You want this humble subject to go? " Sun Fan was originally in high spirits, but when he heard Ouyang Tiande wanted him to personally convince the North Mystics Kingdom, his old face instantly turned into a bitter expression. He didn't want to do such an arduous and unrewarding task. His original intention was to propose this plan and let Ouyang Tiande send out a specialized envoy.
"Why?"
When Ouyang Tiande saw that Sun Fan wasn't willing, his expression instantly turned dark as he questioned coldly, "Imperial Advisor Sun, you aren't willing to help I solve his problems? En? "
"Eh … this humble subject is willing! This humble subject is willing! "When he felt Ouyang Tiande's cold and threatening intent, what else could Sun Fan do? He could only grit his teeth and swallow it into his stomach. He would be responsible for his own words. This time, even if the North Mystics Kingdom's royal palace was a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, he still had to brace himself and go.
"En! This is I's beloved subject! Hahaha! " Ouyang Tiande nodded his head in satisfaction and praised Sun Fan once more. Finally, he let out a proud laugh.
Flushed with success!
