Chapter 88

October [-]th, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Imperial Palace, Tai Chi Hall.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Rong is asking to see you."

Zhou Xin frowned, and only raised his head after swiping his pen to complete the approval of the memorial in front of him.

"Xuan."

Not long after, Xiao Zirong entered the palace.

"My concubine sees Your Majesty."

"Well, why did my concubine come to look for me?"

Zhou Xin nodded slightly and said quietly.

"Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the Leng Palace is not idle, and there is one person in it. I don't know who it is?"

Xiao Zirong spoke softly, with a curious look on her face.

Zhou Xin raised his eyebrows in surprise, he thought Xiao Zirong came here for Xiao Sui.

After pondering for a while, Zhou Xin shook his head.

"Don't ask too much about that person."

The cold palace is full of resentment and chaotic breath, not only is it not suitable for cultivation, but also people tend to go crazy if they stay for a long time.

But after Fang Yingchun's investigation, Hu Run'er was not affected much, and her cultivation seems to have improved.

The reason for this is probably related to Hu Run'er's talent.

Previously, Zhou Xin had sent someone to investigate Hu Run'er's background, and the results were somewhat strange. This shows that Hu Run'er's background and origin are not simple, and there may be other involvements behind it.

Seeing that Zhou Xin had no intention of speaking, Xiao Zirong didn't dare to ask any more.

"Yes, the concubine understands."

After obediently bowing her head and saluting, Xiao Zirong suddenly changed the topic.

"Your Majesty, the harem is special, and it is inconvenient for the forbidden army to garrison. This has caused many loopholes in the harem's security."

"Yes, the concubines want to form a women's guard to be responsible for guarding the interior of the harem. I don't know what your majesty wants?"

After saying that, Xiao Zirong pursed her lips and stared at Zhou Xin, a little apprehensive.

"Your identity is not suitable."

Zhou Xin shook his head and denied it aloud.

As a concubine, if she leads a guard team guarding the harem, how can other concubines feel at ease?
"Furthermore, the harem is not without guards. Commander Fang actually has a female guard under his command, and they are responsible for the safety of the harem."

Xiao Zirong sighed secretly, feeling a little lost in her heart.

In fact, she also knows that His Majesty is unlikely to agree to this matter, but she doesn't want to just make a vase, unfortunately...

Just when Xiao Zirong wanted to resign in disappointment, Zhou Xin spoke again.

"However, if you really want to do something, it's not impossible."

"Although female guards in the harem are not desirable, female soldiers are possible."

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Xiao Zirong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes brightened, and he couldn't believe it: "Your Majesty is saying that the concubine can form a female army?"

In fact, what she wants to do most is to lead the army and fight in battle.

However, considering her status as an imperial concubine, she didn't dare to think about it, let alone bring it up.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty took the initiative to give her a chance.

"Naturally. There are not many women who are good at martial arts in the world. Although female soldiers are soft, if they are positioned properly, they can also overcome strength with softness."

Zhou Xin nodded with a calm expression.

"I gave you the authority to form a female army of no more than [-] people. In the early days, it was used as a supplement to the forbidden army, and was responsible for the inner circle when I went on patrol."

"My concubine thanks Your Majesty! I will live up to Your Majesty's expectations!"

Xiao Zirong saluted respectfully while being excited.

She could hear the implication of His Majesty's words. Whether this female army can take on important responsibilities and continue to expand depends on whether her achievements can satisfy His Majesty.

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the subject.

"Why don't you ask about the war in the West?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine believes in my father's ability, and the concubine believes in your majesty's decision and general plan even more."

"Although King Qi has rebelled, and the Jin Ge Dynasty is strong, my concubines firmly believe that my Great Zhou will not be defeated, and my father will be fine."

"Furthermore, my father taught my concubines from an early age to sacrifice their lives for the country and die well. Even if my father passed away unfortunately, although my concubines mourned, they would still be proud of him."

Looking at Xiao Zirong with a serious face, Zhou Xin nodded in satisfaction, with approval in his eyes.

At this time, an internal servant walked in from outside the hall.

"Report to Your Majesty, I wish the chief to see you, saying that there is something urgent to report."

Hearing this, Xiao Zirong resigned knowingly.

……

After more than a hundred breaths, Zhu Gaoyang entered the hall.

"His Majesty, the Silla Dynasty, the Bihai Dynasty and the Jin Ge Dynasty have all sent troops. The Great Chu and Wang Gaosong withdrew the army that was approaching our border. However, they did not divide their troops to go to the other three borders, but returned to the main camp of the legion."

"Besides, Gao Song has sent envoys to the imperial capital of Great Chu. It should be to bow his head to the emperor of Chu and win the support and assistance of the imperial army of Great Chu."

Hearing Zhu Gaoyang's report, Zhou Xin was not very surprised.

Nearly 12 troops were lost overnight, including [-] Iron Harrier Cavalry, and now they are facing a dangerous situation of siege from all sides, so how can Gao Song not panic?

"Where's the west side?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, King Qi's army has already retreated to Wanglongpo, [-] miles east of Xitong Pass, and the Huben Army has been trailing behind."

"The Xiao cavalry army also rushed to Sanyuan Forest half an hour ago, blocking the front of King Qi's [-] dark troops."

"As for the 20 troops of the Jin Ge Dynasty, [-] forwards have already arrived outside Xitong Pass, and the [-] main force will also arrive before this evening. Another [-] troops escorting supplies and large-scale siege equipment are on the way. It is expected that tomorrow will be noon. Come."

"Everything is in General Xiao's plan, there are no omissions."

Zhou Xin nodded in satisfaction and let out a light breath.

Once King Qi is eliminated, the entire Great Zhou will be truly unified.

Zhu Gaoyang paused for a while, and then continued to report.

"Your Majesty, Lu Yong has explained."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhou Xin's eyes lit up, showing anticipation.

"Yes! Your Majesty, according to what Lu Yong said, the bronze disk is called the spirit-seeking disk, and it is a treasure for searching for spiritual things."

"The day of immortality is approaching, which also indicates that the spiritual energy tide is getting closer, and the eyes of the spiritual spring will be born one after another."

"According to Lu Yong, the earlier the eye of Lingquan was born, the higher its grade. The one that can be born at this time must be the eye of the highest level."

"More than a month ago, their people accidentally discovered the fluctuation of the eye of the spirit spring in the imperial capital with a spirit-seeking plate, but the spirit-seeking plate could not accurately locate the eye of the spirit spring, and could only delineate a range."

"That's why Lu Yong directly dispatched an army of [-], wanting to seize the treasure without anyone noticing."

I see……

Only then did Zhou Xin suddenly realize, and his expression was a little sad.

After searching through various ancient books on secret strategies, Zhou Xin also learned a lot.

For example, Xuanfeng Small World is essentially just an existence similar to a "hunting ground".

This is the hunting ground of certain forces in Tongxuan Continent, and it is the trial area for the disciples of those forces to hunt, test, cultivate, and seize treasures.

As for the hunting targets, there are demons, treasures, and human heads.

Every sixty years, that is, 60 years, Xuanfeng Small World will experience the baptism of spiritual energy tide.

In the process, this place will change from a land of absolute spirits to a treasure land with rich spiritual energy, which is even many times stronger than that of the main continent.

The reason why people in the Small World can only stop at the Ninth Grade Consummation is that apart from the limitations in the cultivation techniques, the main reason is that the Small World is a place of absolute spirits, and there is no basis for people to continue to practice.

But after the arrival of the spiritual energy tide, everything will be very different.

First of all, there are ninth-grade monsters hidden in deep mountains and dense forests. Many of them do not need any skills, and they only need the instinct of inheritance to break through.

The second is the human race of the ninth rank.

And these existences that have been able to break through and enter the other side's new world, as well as some ninth-rank powerhouses, are the hunting targets of the disciples of the main mainland forces.

Most of these existences will be killed, and a small number of extraordinary talents will be photographed and taken away from the small world.

This is the reason why Xuanfeng Small World not only does not have the existence beyond the ninth rank, but also there are very few strong ninth ranks.

Once a Jiazi is harvested, the strong and proud of the small world are like leeks, which will be harvested bloody every 60 years.

As for the day of immortality, it is naturally the day when the disciples of the main continent forces come after the arrival of the spiritual energy tide.

In addition, after the arrival of the aura tide, ancient ruins may also appear.

This ancient relic is the highlight of the competition between the various forces on the main continent.

After the ancient ruins, the most valuable one is the eye of Lingquan.

The eye of the spiritual spring can breed spiritual liquid, the eye of a medium spring can also produce spiritual stones, and the eye of a high-grade spiritual spring can even breed spiritual veins.

In addition, within the range covered by the Eye of the Lingquan, the aura will become more intense.

The higher the level of the eye of the spiritual spring, the larger the coverage area and the higher the concentration of the spiritual energy.

Therefore, even if the Eye of Lingquan is placed on the main continent, it is a strategic treasure, and it is the focus of competition for all parties.

If this eye of the spiritual spring hidden in the imperial capital is of the highest quality, then...

Zhou Xin's eyes flickered, and after taking a deep breath, he stared at Zhu Gaoyang with burning eyes.

"Can you find out how to operate the spirit disk?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Lu Yong has already explained, and I have had someone try it, it is indeed feasible."

"That's fine."

Zhou Xin nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice: "You will be responsible for the errand of looking for the eye of the spirit spring. In addition, send two Yanjia masters to study the spirit plate, and see if you can figure out the manufacturing principle and make a replica. .”

"If possible, then fully support their research, so as to create more spirit disks as soon as possible!"

"If it doesn't work, then arrange for the Qilin Guards to carry the spiritual plate to search for spiritual treasures everywhere!"

"According to the order!"

Zhu Gaoyang accepted the order respectfully, then hesitantly said: "Your Majesty, what should Lu Yong do?"

"If it's useless, send him on his way."

Zhou Xin waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes! I understand."

When Zhu Gaoyang was about to step back, Zhou Xin suddenly spoke again.

"Wait, did Lu Yong explain, where did he get the spirit-seeking disk?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, according to Lu Yong, more than fifty years ago, he accidentally saw a disciple of the Immortal Sect secretly burying something somewhere."

"Later, when he went to dig a hole, he got this spirit disk and a bamboo slip. What was recorded on the bamboo slip is exactly how to use the spirit disk."

Hearing this, Zhou Xin thought for a while, then sneered.

Fifty years ago, Lu Yong's cultivation was estimated to be only four or five ranks, so how could it be possible to peek and not be discovered?
This was obviously done on purpose by the disciple of the immortal sect. As for the intention of the other party, it was presumably to prepare for the next generation of disciples in the sect.

Lu Yong is just a pawn waiting to be harvested by the opponent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xin suddenly thought of Qing Wang Luo Changqing.

Since Lu Yong is a chess piece of the Immortal Gate, what about Luo Changqing, is he also one of them?
He has always felt very strange about what Luo Changqing did.

As a vassal king, Luo Changqing's performance was too "pure-hearted and ascetic". Over the years, he has been neither fighting nor grabbing, and keeping out of the limelight.

Not long ago, even the torrent retreated bravely and gave up everything.

So what exactly is he drawing?
"Have there been any changes in Luo Changqing's side recently?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Luo Changqing is very honest and rarely goes out of the other village."

Hearing Zhu Gaoyang's answer, Zhou Xin nodded slightly, but made up his mind that he would have to see Luo Changqing in person after a while.

 Thank you (one of the cups), (the obsession leaves a memory) for the reward~
