C985 Jin Zhou's Scheme
" Your Highness, although that's what you said, have you ever thought that the more it is like this, the greater the possibility that South-suppressing King and Pingwu King are plotting something? " Shen Lang said with a bitter smile.
"Why?" Gold King was stunned.
"Your Royal Highness, Tiannan County and Pingwu King County are both poor and remote places. According to my understanding, there are only two high-grade Spirit Vein there, and they are both placed in their respective Imperial City."
"Your Royal Highness, I won't say much about the use of these two high grade Spirit Vein! You are clear about it."
Gold King nodded his head. Although he did not arrange the Great Zhou Dynasty's Fate Array here, as the Gold King of Great Zhou, if he did not understand this point, then he would not be able to mingle around.
"South-suppressing King and Pingwu King definitely won't dare to act recklessly, but they promised His Royal Highness a high-grade Spirit Vein. Where did they come from?"
Shen Lang said angrily, "At that time, this subordinate felt that the matter wasn't right. Now it seems that South-suppressing King and Pingwu King have always had bad intentions."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it, Your Royal Highness. South-suppressing King and Pingwu King had a lot of conflicts in the past. But now, they have formed an alliance. They even went to Jin State to buy warships to increase their strength. Including the 200 warships they bought last time, they already had 500 warships. Although it was not comparable to Jin State, it was still a pretty good combat strength. Fallen Immortal City is a city built by rogue cultivators. Where did they get the strength to fight against the two princes?"
"According to my guess, the two princes didn't join hands to fight against the Fallen Immortal City, but to fight against you. That tiger-shaped warship is just a bait to lure you out."
"Where did they get the confidence to deal with me?" Gold King was still confused. 500 warships was not something Gold King could understand.
"Your Royal Highness, have you forgotten the law of Great Zhou Dynasty?" Shen Lang said angrily, "The Imperial Court has made it clear that princes are not allowed to bring troops into other counties. Have you forgotten this?"
"But, this is an invitation from Pingwu King!" Gold King retorted. It was true that the Great Zhou Dynasty was afraid that the prince would expand his power and swallow up the other counties, but they did not say that the prince could not go to another county.
In fact, there were many such things!
When the Great Zhou Dynasty was first established, the internal structure was very unstable. The phenomenon of occupying mountains as kings was very serious. Some people took up mountains as kings just to have fun, while some powerful people didn't have a peaceful life.
If the kings of the local counties did not have the ability to eliminate them, then they could only request external help.
However, as time passed, the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was getting deeper and deeper, and those powerful enemies within the territory were all killed.
However, as the old saying went, if the weeds were not removed from the roots, then the spring wind would grow again. The Great Zhou Dynasty's forces were as numerous as the hairs on a cow. They were like leek, they were cut up one after another, so how could they be wiped out?
Therefore, until today, there was still such a tradition.
The Pingwu County was the closest to the Jin State. It made sense that Pingwu King asked Gold King to lead troops to help.
"Your Royal Highness, these people don't have any good intentions. If they refuse to admit it after the matter is over and charge you with the crime of secretly sending troops, then it will be very troublesome."
Was Shen Lang worrying for nothing? No! Although Gold King had Pingwu King's letter in his hand, Pingwu King could still use the same tactic to tell Tian Zi that it was written under Gold King's coercion.
Shen Lang continued, "The prince has sent out his troops privately. The surrounding counties can send troops to destroy them without asking for permission, and then escort the prince to the Sacred Dynasty to plead guilty."
"Your Highness, Tiannan County and Pingwu County are weak, but have you forgotten about Weihai County and Anyuan County? The combined strength of these two counties is not weaker than the Jin State."
Weihai County and Anyuan County were not far from Jin State, one on the left and one on the right, trapping Jin State in the middle. The duke was at the late stage of the aperture exit.
The reason why the Great Zhou Emperor arranged for them to be here was obvious.
"Pingwu King is so ruthless!"
Shen Lang said angrily, "Prince, if my guess is correct, the Third Prince should be at the Deification Period, and can lead an entire province."
Shen Lang didn't say the rest of the words, but his meaning was clear. The Third Prince was qualified to lead an entire province and enjoy the fortune of the province, but Great Zhou didn't have an empty seat for the Third Prince. What should he do?
The main worry was the official's humiliation. Those useless princes who were directly under Great Zhou naturally had to share the burden of the son of heaven, and do some things that the son of heaven couldn't say clearly.
Gold King's face also darkened. If the four prefectures joined hands, Jin State would be in danger.
"At such an important moment, South-suppressing King and Pingwu King used a high grade Spirit Vein as a bargaining chip to move the prince. They forced His Royal Highness to sell their warship, increasing their strength a little. But our strength has decreased a little. We have to be careful! "
The crafting of warships was a long process. To produce 200 warships, even if the Jin State had a huge shipyard, it would still take more than ten years.
For cultivators, 10 years could pass in the blink of an eye, but at the critical moment, these 10 years were a deadly existence.
"Your Royal Highness, the most important thing for us to do now is to bide our time and send people over to find out the truth of Pingwu King's letter. This is the perfect plan."
"That makes sense!" Gold King nodded in agreement.
Shen Lang's idea was undoubtedly conservative, but safety was guaranteed. It was just that it was a little too much of a waste of time.
Just like what Shen Lang had said earlier, the Third Prince had already advanced to the Soul Formation realm and was qualified to lead an entire province. At this time, he should increase his strength to ensure his safety.
"What if the news is true? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?" Jin was about to go crazy thinking about the new warship. He didn't want to wait even a second after knowing that there was news about the new warship.
"Your Royal Highness, we won't waste time!" Shen Lang said sinisterly, "After all, the new warship is of great importance. The fewer people who know, the better. Your Royal Highness, don't you think so?"
"Oh? What do you mean?"
"Kill!!"
Shen Lang made a throat-slitting gesture, then said, "Your Royal Highness, if there really is a new warship in Fallen Immortal City, the first people we should kill should be South-suppressing King and Pingwu King. Make sure they shut up, and don't let them participate in the Millennium Banquet. We must prevent them from reporting the news to the Son of Heaven. "
"If the Emperor knows that there is a new type of warship in Fallen Immortal City that is comparable to the Flying Bear, I'm afraid that it has nothing to do with Jin State. It will only increase the strength of Great Zhou."
"Currently, Great Zhou's Bear Legion Corps is the trump card of the trump cards. There are countless elite soldiers and generals. The emperor will not mind setting up a Tiger Legion Corps to tie down the Bear Legion Corps."
Balance, this was the art of an emperor. Although the Flying Bear Army was loyal to Tian Zi, they had also set up the Heart Devil Oath, but it had been mentioned before. The Heart Devil Oath could not guarantee that no one would betray them. As long as there was enough benefits... They could also betray them.
