Terran Guardian

Da Qin.

Court meeting.

The atmosphere was solemn.

Since the news of Zhou's attack on Luo'an Mansion came back, the court meeting has been going on all day and has not ended.

The expressions on everyone's faces were very ugly.

"I was originally curious about where the barbarians' confidence to attack my Dahuang Mansion came from, but I didn't expect that the barbarians actually colluded with Dazhou. Well, very good!"

Gu Xuanji laughed angrily.

The sound shook the hall, like a volcano about to erupt, making everyone feel heavy-hearted.

Immediately.

His eyes fell on Dongfang Zhao.

"The Suppressing Demon Division had no information in advance about the barbarian people's collusion with the Great Zhou Dynasty. Now that several cities in Luo'an Prefecture have been destroyed, and more than a hundred thousand troops died in the battle, how can the Suppressing Demon Division explain this matter?"

A sudden attack.

All the civil and military officials looked startled, and then looked at Dongfang Zhao with interesting eyes.

for them.

The Demon Suppressing Division is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of himself and others, and he doesn't know when it will be cut off.

Tianchawei's intelligence work is even more pervasive.

All these years.

Many ministers were dismissed because of the Tianchawei's intelligence, and then their families were confiscated and exterminated by the Demon Suppression Division.

Although the Demon Suppressing Division also has the responsibility of guarding the Qin Dynasty, evil spirits have been rampant over the years, and it is only because of the suppression by the Demon Suppressing Division that there have been no problems.

but.

This does not stop them from wanting to see the Demon Suppressor suppressed.

After all, the Suppressing Demon Division is indeed too powerful now, and many ministers dare not go against the Demon Suppressing Division. If they can suppress one party, it will give others a breather.

face questioning.

Dongfang Zhao had already anticipated this.

I saw him coming out of the queue and cupping his hands, and replied with a calm expression.

"Your Majesty, the Suppressing Demon Division has been investigating the forces behind the barbarians. It was only because of the secret exchanges between the two parties that the Suppressing Demon Division was not aware of it. However, the Suppressing Demon Division had already sent people to infiltrate Da Zhou.

If Zhou Dynasty had not attacked in advance, news would come back from Tianchawei in a few days.

Besides, the one-month period originally given by His Majesty has not ended yet."

Speaking of which.

Dongfang Zhao stopped talking.

at this time.

Taishi Wenqiu came out, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has allocated a lot of resources to the Demon Suppression Division over the years, but whether it was the barbarian invasion of Dahuang Mansion or the Great Zhou invasion of Luo'an Mansion, the Demon Suppression Division was not aware of it at all. , causing heavy losses to the army.

In my opinion, the responsibility of the Demon Suppressing Division cannot be shied away from. "

"good."

Fu Yan also nodded, with a calm expression.

"The Suppressing Demon Division enjoys the resources of the imperial court, so it is natural that it should shoulder its due responsibilities. Dongfang Guards, this matter is indeed the Suppressing Demon Division's fault."

When the two opened their mouths, they took the lead.

Suddenly.

Many civil servants spoke out and accused the Demon Suppression Division.

Dongfang Zhao lowered his eyelids and had no intention of arguing.

a long time.

Gu Xuanji waved his hand to signal them to shut up, and then looked at Dongfang Zhao.

"Do you have anything else you want to say, Commander Dongfang?"

"The Demon Suppressing Division does have some responsibilities regarding this matter. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Although the Suppressing Demon Division has paid a lot for Great Qin over the years, due to the state's national laws, the Suppressing Demon Division has failed in its responsibility in this matter. I will not punish it. Starting today, the resources of the Suppressing Demon Division will be reduced by half for the next three years.

Do you have any objection to this? "

"I have no objection!"

Dongfang Zhao bowed and accepted the order.

The resources were cut in half. This punishment seemed not light, but in fact it was already a big blow to the Demon Suppressor.

However.

In the eyes of others, Gu Xuanji's punishment was nothing at all.

At most, it's just a reduction in resources, and it hasn't hurt the Demon Suppression Division at all.

Seeing that Dongfang Zhao had retreated again.

Gu Xuanji said: "Dazhou is attacking Luo'an Mansion. At present, Luoan Mansion is dominated by the Feifeng Army. Although the Feifeng Army is strong, it is still somewhat insufficient to face the power of Dazhou alone.

Therefore, I believe that we should fully support Luo'an Mansion from now on, and we must not let the Great Perimeter drive in. "

Speaking of which.

He looked at the leader of the generals and said in a deep voice.

"Yan Jing!"

"I'm here!"

A tall, burly, one-eyed middle-aged man stepped out of the queue, his voice hoarse like gold and iron rubbing against each other.

"I order you to lead the 800,000 Canglong Army and the 1.2 million army to Luo'an Mansion for support. No mistakes!"

"I obey the decree!"

Yan Jing bowed and accepted the order.

Eight hundred thousand Canglong Army!

An army of 1.2 million!

In this way, the imperial court supported Luo'an Prefecture's two million troops at once. When it supported Dahuang Prefecture, it only dispatched hundreds of thousands of Huolin troops.

It can be seen from this.

Gu Xuanji valued Zhou Dynasty many times more than the barbarians.

"in addition!"

Gu Xuanji looked at Dongfang Zhao.

"The Great Zhou's attack on Luo'an Mansion this time is well prepared. There are many strong men in the Great Zhou. The two million army alone may not be able to withstand the attack of the Great Zhou. Therefore, I hope that the Demon Suppressing Division will also send some powerful troops. Those who follow each other.

How many powerful people from the Demon-Suppressing Division are left in the capital right now? "

"Your Majesty, the Demon Suppressing Division currently only has two guardians, Chen and Zhou Yuanzheng. In addition, there are no demon slayers of earth-level and above who are performing tasks, only about thirteen people."

Dongfang Zhao responded truthfully.

The thirteen demon slayers at earth level and above represent the thirteen masters.

Gu Xuanji nodded slightly.

"Over there at Qianxin Pavilion, how much power can you use now?"

Qianxin Pavilion

Dongfang Zhao pondered for a moment: "Qianxin Pavilion doesn't have much power at its disposal right now. There are probably only a dozen or so masters left in the Martial Pavilion. If the imperial court needs it, they can be sent out with the army.

However, there are not many manpower available in the Evil Suppressing Pavilion and the Demon Sealing Pavilion, and the Demon Suppressing Prison and the Demon Sealing Tower also need maintenance at all times. "

"Um."

Gu Xuanji nodded.

He also knew what Dongfang Zhao said.

"As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, forget it. There is no need to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let them stay there with peace of mind."

Shaked his head.

Gu Xuanji immediately ordered.

"Dongfang Zhao obeys the order!"

"I'm here!"

"The Demon-Suppressing Division will immediately dispatch thirty grand masters to accompany the army, and send a guard envoy to accompany them. They must ensure that the two million troops arrive at Luo'an Mansion safely, and assist the army in resisting the attack of the Great Zhou Dynasty. There must be no mistakes!"

"yes!"

Dongfang Zhao did not dare to disobey.

All civil and military officials were shocked at this moment.

Thirty masters.

It's just a demon-suppressing division in the capital. It can be taken out as soon as it is said to be available, and this is not the full power of the demon-suppressing division.

According to Dongfang Zhao.

There are still many people in the Demon Division in the capital performing tasks outside.

This.

Not to mention the branches of the Demon Suppressing Division in other prefectures.

For a while.

They were all shocked by the power of the Demon Suppressor.

Subsequently.

Gu Xuanji said again: "Da Zhou is now joining forces with the barbarians. Dai Yue and Daliang should also pay attention. If they also get involved, it will make things worse."

Daliang!

Dai Viet!

Those are two other powerful countries.

Although it may not be comparable to Da Qin and Da Zhou, it should not be underestimated.

The words fell.

Fu Yan said in a deep voice: "Dai Viet's national power has been weakening a lot recently. The damage caused by the demonic chaos a hundred years ago has not yet recovered, so it is unlikely that they will get involved.

If you cooperate with Dazhou, you will be seeking the skin of a tiger. "

"on the contrary"

"Daliang has been keeping a low profile recently, but it has accumulated a lot of national strength, which will pose a big threat to Da Qin. However, Daliang has always been arrogant and may not join in with the barbarians. I think it is better to send an envoy to Daliang.

By then, we, Da Qin, can also win over a powerful ally.

After all, if Da Qin is destroyed, Daliang will probably have trouble sleeping and eating. "

My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!

The reason why several countries are able to stand today is because of the gradual formation of a delicate balance over hundreds of years.

Whenever any country is destroyed, this delicate balance will be broken.

Got to that point.

No one dares to say that they will definitely have the last laugh.

Gu Xuanji pondered slightly.

"The one in Daliang may not be willing to cooperate with me in Daqin, but we can give it a try. Who do you think would be better as envoy to Daliang?"

"Daliang attaches great importance to integrity. Any great scholar in the Imperial College can take on this important task."

Fu Yan cupped his hands and replied.

Anyone who can become a great Confucian must have his own integrity and pride.

After all, if there is no integrity and pride, there is no way to breed great righteousness.

Hear the words.

Gu Xuanji nodded slightly.

The great Confucians from the Imperial College could indeed be chosen as envoys to the Qin Dynasty.

Immediately.

He looked at an old man among the civil servants.

"What's the problem with Yang Jijiu?"

"I have no objection!" Yang Yu, who had been silent and acted like a transparent person, replied.

"Okay, then the Imperial Academy will send a great scholar to Daliang to lobby and win over an ally for our Great Qin."

Finished.

Gu Xuanji paused for a moment, then continued.

"Send another person to Dai Viet to check the situation."

Lobbying is just lobbying, it is better to just send people there.

Although Da Viet's national strength is not strong now, if they can help each other, they can still relieve a lot of pressure on Da Qin.

"I obey the decree!"

A night of silence.

After Shen Changqing came back from the martial arts pavilion, he has been practicing the true meaning of Bai Zhan in his room.

After finishing his training in the secret room, his condition has always been at its peak.

In order not to waste a minute or a second of time.

After returning to the room, Shen Changqing also directly entered the cultivation state.

Wait until the Oriental fish belly turns white.

A familiar tingling sensation came, and he immediately exited the state of cultivation.

Subsequently.

Shen Changqing looked at the time recorded in the room and had a rough idea in his mind.

It's worth saying.

Engraving is the world's way of recording the passage of time.

When he first came here, he didn't know how to use it.

But now.

Shen Changqing is already very familiar with engraving.

"Today's practice was about two-quarters of an hour longer than usual. It seems that I have gained something from the true meaning of Bai Zhan, which has made my mental strength stronger!"
