Genius Demon Empress Chapter 148: Shangguo chaos
c_t;The Nine Dragons have fallen!
The Southern Expeditionary Army suffered heavy losses, with more than one hundred sons of the imperial capital and nobles, and most of the losses were lost.
The chaos of the sea beasts in Vatican Port has ended, and the Moon Goddess Tower resumed operation.
As soon as the Southern Crusade returned, the news of the fall of the Dragon War God and Major General Long Jiuzun, the protector of the country, was like a quick arrow that broke the long-silent imperial capital pattern.
As soon as the news came, Princess Longxue seemed to be petrified, and her eyes were shocked and unbelievable.
She held the spy in her hand and was silent for half an hour.
Even the imperial female official who is the most adept at observing words and colors can't guess the princess's mood at the moment.
"Retreat, and pass on my order. The imperial city will perform a seven-day national funeral, and be full of obituaries to welcome the return of the bones of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition." Princess Long Xue put the spy on the table in a deep voice. , Waved his hand, motioned the female officer to retreat.
After the female officer retreated, Princess Longxue showed a thought-provoking smile.
"Yue Jinghua, you gave this palace a big surprise." The death of Long Jiuzun, the meaning of Longxue Princess, Yuanda and the smooth rebellion of the Southern Army.
Although the espionage showed that Long Jiuzun was arbitrary for a while, and he took more than a hundred southern expedition troops into the open sea, and fell to his death surrounded by sea beasts.
But Princess Longxue smelled a trace of conspiracy from it.
In her subconscious mind, she guessed that the death of Nine Dragons must be related to someone.
To pay the lives of more than one hundred princes and heirs, and to exchange the lives of nine dragons, is a cost-effective business.
Be aware that before setting off, Princess Longxue's request to Yue Jinghua was only to monitor the nine dragons.
The results now far exceed Princess Longxue's expectations.
The new dragon knights were unscathed, and the true core elite of the empire was not compromised.
In addition, according to the espionage, after the death of Long Jiuzun, Yue Minzhi put down the rebellion in an orderly manner, and wiped out the follow-up problems of Vatican Port, which has already shown his talents as a general.
Princess Longxue was extremely satisfied with the results of this southern expedition. She decided that once the Yue family brothers and sisters return to the imperial capital, she must reward them well.
As for the General Protector’s Mansion, when Long Ao was trapped in the middle of the four chess, the death of Long Jiuzun was due to his hasty underestimation of the enemy. It would be great for the imperial city not to pursue the Long Family’s guilt. Enze, let alone, worried that they would come to the door.
Just when Princess Longxue was secretly happy, the female officer waiting by her rushed in again, her expression panicked, and her usual calm footsteps became chaotic.
"Presumptuous, without the summons from the palace, who allowed you to come in?" Longteng 72·World was seriously ill, and Princess Longxue made temporary state affairs for him. These days, the memorials of the Imperial Study Room are all made by Princess Longxue. Instructed. ()
When Princess Longxue reviewed the memorials, she was least happy to disturb her ministers.
This female official, who has been with her since she was a child, knows the princess' temperament best, but she has broken the precepts of Princess Longxue today.
"The princess, the slave and maid convicted, but the matter was urgent, and an urgent letter was sent from the north." The female officer knelt down in a hurry, her pretty face was full of anxious color, and she presented it with trembling hands. A letter from animal skins.
"The Northern Expedition was frustrated? The regent of the Shang Kingdom, Fa Xiaoyi, beheaded the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the Shang Kingdom, and died in the battle of Northern Proud, Bloomberg. Jinnuo was trapped in the Misty Canyon." The most shocking news received in a few days, then the news from the Northern Expedition Army was undoubtedly a huge blow.
Princess Longxue's earlier joy has been replaced by disbelief and consternation.
Not to mention Princess Dragon Snow, even in the entire Eastern Continent, no one would have guessed that the Dragon War Empire, which has been warless for hundreds of years, would suffer heavy losses in two small-scale rebellions that broke out accidentally.
If it is said that Long Jiuzun’s death was due to lack of combat training and died of underestimating the enemy, then the death of Zhan Beiao was beyond the expectations of Princess Longxue.
Although there is no war in the empire, Zhan Bei Ao led the blood prison army to expedition to the four directions, slaying profound beasts, and killing thieves and bandits from various places is extremely rich.
He came from a business country again, and knew the local situation well. His death could not make sense or reason.
Princess Longxue thought that even if the Dragon Battle Empire lost the nine dragons, Dan could control the dragon family. Among the younger generation, there were Yue Minzhi, Xiao Jinnuo, Zhan Bei Ao, etc., and succession would not be a problem. , Don't know...
"Princess? Do you want to send troops to reinforce the Shang Dynasty?" The female officer saw Princess Longxue's expression uncertain reads;.
"Go and ask Jockey Zhan to come over." After learning of the frustration of the Northern Expedition, Princess Longxue seemed to be five years old suddenly. His father was weak, and he was already depressed when he learned that Long Jiu Zun had fallen behind. If he were to let him know about the Northern Expedition, he would surely become depressed.
The courtier of the full court, Minister of Household Ji Jie was a two-faced master. Old Jinnuo had a fierce and easy temper, and the rest were vassals, which made it difficult for her to trust and discuss this matter.
Think about it~IndoMTL.com~Princess Longxue only feels exhausted physically and mentally, she just repeats the name "Zhan Tian" in her mind.
After the female officer retired, Princess Longxue only felt the air in the imperial study room was boring, so she walked out of the study room and wanted to breathe.
I just walked a few steps out, only to hear a sturdy profound energy stab, and a black shadow culled.
"There are assassins," Princess Longxue was horrified, and several shadow guards lurking beside her immediately jumped out.
Under the combined attack of the shadow guards, the black shadow, which was lacquered and indistinct, could not be attacked for a long time. Suddenly, it disappeared.
He came without a shadow, went without a trace, like a ghost, and the shot was very strange. Princess Longxue was so scared that her face was pale. Fortunately, Zhan Tian got the summons of the female officer and has rushed over. .
Hearing that someone had assassinated Princess Longxue, Zhan Tian's expression suddenly changed. He searched for the spot where the black shadow appeared, and his face became even worse.
"Sickness," Zhan Tian found out that where the assassins were infested, the vegetation was withered, as if poisoned.
He cross-examined several shadow guards who had fought against Sombra again. They all recalled that when they fought against that assassin, the whole body exuded an icy chill, which made people shudder.
"That's not an ordinary assassin, I'm afraid it's a demon or a beast. Princess, this time about the Northern Expedition, the minister already knows. The minister suspects that the reason for the frustration of the Northern Expedition lies in these beasts. Rumor has it that the regent prince of Shang State is a summoner. It is his army of monsters that trapped the Northern Expedition. "Zhan Tian has a good relationship with the mercenaries in the Wusheng Township, an unofficial channel for mercenaries. , Faster than the imperial capital's spy.
"Summoner? You mean the summoner who has long since disappeared on the mainland?" Princess Longxue was shocked. She couldn't think that this time the Northern Expedition Army would involve the summoner who had long since disappeared on the East Continent.
