The devil is coming

Chapter 299
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
General Zheng, dressed in Feiyu uniform, is practicing archery at the shooting range.
Si Niang stood beside him, the blind man sat behind him, A Ming, Xue San, Fan Li and Liang Cheng were also there, except for the magic pill that continued to watch the child in the mansion,
Everyone is here.
It is not a regular meeting once every half a month, but it is really rare for everyone to be able to gather so neatly.
Because leaving aside General Zheng who “does nothing” every day,
Each of the other demon kings has several departments assigned to them.
Siniang is in charge of the economy and people's livelihood, the blind man is in charge of official administration and ideological construction, Fan Li is in charge of civil construction, Xue San has to train spies while keeping an eye on the weapons workshop, Liang Cheng is in charge of the army, and A Ming is in charge of product research and development.
The reason why they gathered so neatly was because the latest battle report from the front line came.
Before his death, Chengguo Emperor Situ Lei led his army to defeat the rebel and savage coalition forces. The eldest prince ordered Li Bao's troops to go straight to Yingdu City and take control of the situation.
Situ Lei's death blow can be said to have greatly broadened Yan's strategic space in this war and enhanced its strategic initiative. At the same time, Sun Youdao, the prime minister of the Cheng Kingdom, led a group of civilian and military generals to surround Situ after the war. Lei's younger son ascended the throne, and based on Situ Lei's previous arrangements, he re-submitted a letter of credence to Li Bao, which to a considerable extent led to a more orderly handover and transfer of the Situ family's original foundation.
Therefore, within two days after he ascended the throne, the young emperor demoted himself to the throne and no longer claimed the title of emperor, but the title of lord of the country.
"You said, this pig teammate, you can just keep being a pig and forget it. The pig has reached its end, but suddenly a wave of super gods comes. What does this mean? Are you kidding us?"
Xue San said very depressedly.
Although everyone holds an official position in the Yan Kingdom, not many have the consciousness to think about the overall situation for Yan.
The blind man rubbed his eyebrows and said:
"Situ Lei is not a good person. It's just fate. He met his father first and then his two brothers. Inexplicably, he gave too many gifts in the early stage. But this emperor is already capable."
Situ Lei's last battle also left a lot of "blank spaces" for him in the history books in the future.
If there had not been that final battle, Situ Lei's future interpretation would be almost the image of the rise of powerful officials, the murder of fathers and brothers, and the final destruction of the country.
It is precisely because of his death after the victory in the last battle that future generations of history readers can think about it. If Situ Lei had not been seriously injured at that time, if he had not died, and if he had been given a few more years, Cheng Guo's ending would have been What will happen?
Siniang said at this time:
"My lord, according to the current situation, can we stop preparing for war? We can call on five thousand soldiers and horses and let them go to the workshop to help first."
Raising a large-scale off-the-job army is definitely a huge expense and a heavy burden. Therefore, many dynasties in history like to use the "garrison troops" method to run the army, but unfortunately, this method will cause extreme problems in the future. Bad influence.
But now Siniang clearly knows the current situation in Shengle City. If she doesn't find a way to turn things around, her family's foundation really won't last long.
"No."
Zheng Fan made a decision.
"Yes, my lord is wise."
Si Niang didn't make any distinction and simply agreed.
Operating in an orderly manner is also play, and playing to bankruptcy and collapse is also play. The ways of playing are different, but in the final analysis, the essence is still play.
Si Niang will not fight with Zheng Fan over this, it is meaningless.
"I always have a hunch that things are unlikely to be so smooth. As I said, we still have to be prepared for war."
Using hunches to speak is almost the same as using a dancing master to make important decisions, which gives people an unreliable feeling.
But as a professional dancer, you have to be able to dance accurately and have many talents.
Since Zheng Fan woke up from this world, apart from other things, his luck has always been good. This kind of luck is not reflected in the halo of destiny without being injured on the battlefield, but in grasping the general trend every time. , he can always jump to the most suitable point.
"We have to give that savage king some confidence. The reason why the rebel army and the savage coalition has not attacked Yingdu is because they don't want to tear off the last layer of skin and face the reaction from the Yan Kingdom.
Whether the Yan State would send troops or whether the Situ family would defect to the Yan State, they had actually considered it for a long time.
Perhaps, Situ Lei's final rise was unexpected by them, but this defeat may have been a heavy blow to the rebellious military morale, but it would definitely not cause the savages to be truly injured.
Since the Savage King had already calculated that Dayan's army would join in to help fight, he would not have failed to plan a backup plan. "
The appearance and attitude of betting the future on the enemy's "wisdom" were obviously too ugly, but no one present felt there was anything wrong with it.
Shengle City needs war, and needs to rely on foreign war to plunder the population, materials, etc. If there is no war, then it can only reduce its troops, or transfer some of the soldiers to the "reclamation" mode as Siniang said.
But what everyone knows is that in this way, they are really no different from ordinary warlords. They just look better than the border troops on the three sides of the country in the past who were used as "laofers" by the local government and wealthy families. Just throw it away.
It is almost a luxury to hope to cultivate a new Zhenbei Army or Jingnan Army.
The blind man said at this time:
"My lord, my subordinates have watched the eldest prince's every move since he commanded the army, and found that the eldest prince came with a steady and steady policy this time, and would not take risks easily. He wanted to use the general trend to suppress the rebellion of the barbarians and Cheng Guo.
Therefore, the possibility of him making a mistake is slim. "
I originally thought that if the prince led the troops, he would be more likely to be in the limelight. In addition, the Yan people's war method mainly relied on cavalry attacks, but the eldest prince actually became "cool".
This is true. He has an army of 15. Even if the Zhenbei Army only has [-], the local county soldiers of the Yan State are not capable of fighting. But even if they are not good, it will still be compared with the Zhenbei Army and the Jingnan Army. You can never think that these counties Will the combat effectiveness of the soldiers be worse than that of Chengguo's rebels?
Furthermore, savages are notoriously intolerant of fighting. This fact, even if they enter the customs, still does not change the established impression.
In the eyes of the ruling and opposition parties and mainstream public opinion, the reason why the barbarians were able to enter the border this time was because the two living treasures of the Situ family acted as the guide and allowed them to enter the border.
Didn't our Marquis of Jingnan lead [-] horsemen to massacre their hometown in the snowy fields, and seize a large number of cattle, sheep and horses, which directly caused the price of mutton to plummet during this period.
The eldest prince is not the case. He just takes it step by step. After the vanguard army went to Yingdu, the army still maintained a good rhythm. Every time it went to a place, it first made handovers with the local government. The original local official system of the Situ family remained unchanged. Then the preparation of food and grass, the supply of the army, the recruitment of civilians, etc. all went smoothly.
I know, I know that the eldest prince is here to fight;
Those who didn’t know, thought they were here to take over the property.
"Let's take another look. There's no rush."
Zheng Fan opened his bow and nocked an arrow again. After shooting an arrow, he said:
"Isn't there a military town belonging to the Situ family to the east of us?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it's called Ningbian City. There should have been more than 5000 garrison troops, but most of them should have been transferred at this time." Liang Cheng replied.
"Send some soldiers and horses to help receive it, and at the same time expand the radiation range of our influence."
"Is this appropriate?" Xue San asked.
"There's nothing suitable or inappropriate. The Situ family has been annexed, and the opposite side has become the territory of Dayan. We are here to help defend, not to grab the territory."
"My subordinate understands."
"Well, if the other party doesn't understand current affairs, just give him some color and accuse him of being a treason, and then get rid of him."
"Yes, my subordinates know."
"In addition, send another one or two thousand soldiers and horses to explore the inside of Chengguo and build our post route, otherwise the transmission of military information from the front will be slow.
If you encounter the eldest prince's sentries and ask, just say that we are taking the initiative to help the eldest prince's army cover the flanks.
Since the eldest prince wants us to help him guard the back door, he won't make it difficult for us because of these small things at this time. As for Queen Qiu, hehe, Queen Qiu will talk about it later. "
Xue San sighed:
"My Lord, when you said these words just now, you really sounded like a factory official and a sycophant. Coupled with this Feiyu suit that Si Niang personally embroidered, it's amazing."
"Huh, is that so."
Zheng Fan unfurled his bow and nocked an arrow again, and shot an arrow.
Xue San said again: "My lord, just shooting at the target is boring."
A Ming, who had been dozing next to him, opened his eyes and looked at Xue San.
"It's okay, I'm just practicing my skills, so as not to lose my skills. By the way, A Cheng, the training of the army cannot be interrupted. Try to instill more murderous spirit in our soldiers and horses."
"Yes, my lord."
Xue San scratched his ears, came close to Zheng Fan, and said:
"My Lord, my subordinates have prepared some medicinal baths. You have just finished practicing archery and your body has become more flexible. Why don't you go take a bath now?"
"Is it the medicinal bath you mentioned last time?"
"No, medicinal materials are very difficult to find. I sent hundreds of people under my command to search the mountains for half a month, and then bought some from merchants, and finally I was able to put together a set of formulas.
There are no side effects in keeping it, and it is used by really wealthy and powerful families to train their core disciples.
It is said that when Jingnanhou was a child, his uncle used this to take a bath. "
"How come this has become your mantra?" Zheng Fan said amusedly.
Marquis Jingnan used it, so it must be a good thing. Marquis Jingnan’s armor was made of this, and Marquis Jingnan practiced with it when he was a child.
Does Tian Wujing know that he has endorsed several brands?
In fact, Xiaoliuzi once endorsed Zhenbeihou for roast duck.
It's just that Zhenbeihou has always been praised as "miraculous", but in fact Zhenbeihou's martial arts, no joke, Zheng Fan can beat him.
Tian Wujing is different. Although his reputation among the people is very close to that of "The Big Devil", he actually defeated the Sword Master, which is incredible. Everyone is afraid of him and wants to be him.
Therefore, regarding Tian Wujing's cultivation method and everything about Tian Wujing, it seems that as long as it is contaminated by Tian Wujing, he will become taller in an instant.
"Is there any problem?" Siniang asked worriedly.
Xue San immediately shook his head and said, "I've confirmed it. I soaked it myself yesterday and I feel like I've grown a little taller."
"Pfft."
Fan Li, who had been silent until now, laughed out loud.
"Really, it has the effect of relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation, but it's a little painful. Our master practiced it after he was an adult, so he can make up for it later. It just strengthens the body. There will be no other side effects. It is not a drug."
"Okay, let's give it a try." Zheng Fan decided.
"My lord, let's go do something, San'er, make sure nothing happens to your lord." The blind man reminded solemnly.
The Lord is everyone's Lord. If you mess with the Lord, then wait for the other six demon kings to chase you.
Xue San patted his chest and said, "Believe me, I used to be half a pharmacist."
In film and television works, the characters who appear to be standing next to a cauldron of green bubble potion are all short.
After the meeting,
back to the mansion,
Xue San asked the maid to put the water in the soup pool.
Because Zheng Fan likes to take baths, there is a special bathtub at home, so he doesn't have to go to the bathtub.
When Zheng Fan came in, he found that the young Marquis had woken up and was looking at Zheng Fan with wide eyes.
Zheng Fan walked over and picked up Tiantian.
Not to mention, Magic Pills is really good for taking care of children. The children feel dry and smooth, and have a milky and milky fragrance.
"Um...wow wow."
The young Marquis said something to Zheng Fan, with an ups and downs of emotion.
Zheng Fan pretended that he understood, nodded and smiled according to his rhythm.
After the water in the soup pool was put, Xue Sanping withdrew his servants and said to Zheng Fan:
"My lord, you can go into the pool now."
Zheng Fan nodded, put the little Marquis back in the cradle, took off his clothes and walked into the soup pool.
"call………"
Perhaps because he has been in this world for a long time, and he follows the martial arts training system, Zheng Fan is now more and more receptive to hot water.
The temperature that is difficult for ordinary people to go down may be just right for him.
Xue San came over with a wine jar in his hand.
"Wow wow wow......"
When the little Marquis in the cradle saw him, he clapped his little hands and shouted.
"Hey, you want it?"
Xue San hesitated.
Logically speaking, this is the recipe your father used to make baths, so there seems to be nothing wrong with using it to give you a bath.
But you are too young, if something happens to you...
Nima,
too frightening.
But Xue San still walked to the cradle and pulled out the stopper of the wine jar towards the little Marquis.
The little Marquis put his head to his side and took a breath.
then,
"Wow…………"
"Pfft" sound,
He fell backward and fainted from the smoke.
"hey-hey."
Xue San smiled. In order to integrate the medicinal effects to a greater extent, Xue San added a lot of his own high-concentration alcohol into it.
"Roar!"
at this time,
A stone jumped out directly, and Mowan's figure appeared, staring at Xue San with angry eyes.
"That, this, that..."
Xue San was a little scared. Even though everyone was on the same level now, Xue San still didn't think he could beat the magic pill.
After all, he is a biological son, so he will definitely be better than other demon kings, except for the bug of killing his father.
"I'll go over there, go over there."
Xue San secretly pointed behind him, meaning that he was going to help Zheng Fan take a medicinal bath.
Magic Pill held back his anger,
In the end, he still didn’t take action against Xue San.
Turn back to the cradle,
Revealing his true form, he knelt down beside the young Marquis.
“Jiejiejiejie…………Jiejiejiejie…………”
The little Marquis drunkenly looked at the magic pill with "peach blossom eyes",
Responded:
"Wow... Oh oh... Wow oh oh... Hehe..."
Xue San broke out in a cold sweat. He just wanted to tease the child, but he really didn't expect that Magic Pill would really bring out emotions when he took care of the baby. This posture was simply more vicious than an old hen protecting its chicks.
If the master hadn't been waiting for a bath in the hot spring pool right now, he would have fought with me.
tsk,
So the Lord still knows how to play.
Xue San walked back to Zheng Fan with the wine jar in his arms. Zheng Fan was covering his face with a bath towel. He was so vain...
"My lord, I'm going to collapse, because this is my first time taking a medicinal bath, it may be more painful. As the saying goes:
If there is pain, there will be no pain; if there is pain, there will be no pain;
After the effect of the medicinal bath is gone, the muscles and veins in the body can be tempered and broadened. "
"understood."
"okay."
Xue San poured the contents into the soup pool. After the liquid entered the hot water, it began to spread rapidly.
"hiss………"
Zheng Fan's body suddenly convulsed,
He sat up suddenly and even the bath towel on his face fell off.
"Is this... a bit painful?"
This feeling was no longer like taking a bath, but like taking a bath in sulfuric acid. If Zheng Fan hadn't known that Xue San would not harm him, Zheng Fan would have jumped out immediately.
“This proves that the Lord’s body still has a lot to offer!”
Zheng Fan could only close his eyes and continue to soak himself in it.
Gradually, black blood began to overflow from Zheng Fan's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and black blood stains penetrated into the pores on his body.
The effects are already slowly showing up.
Zheng Fan clearly noticed that the blood and qi in his body were flowing excitedly and accelerating.
Zheng Fan's heart began to slowly relax, but soon, the heart that had just been relaxed suddenly became suspended again.
The flow speed of qi and blood is getting faster and faster, and it has reached the point where it is uncontrollable.
Zheng Fan's vision began to blur. There was no longer mist in front of him, but some phantoms seemed to appear. In this phantom, there seemed to be waves of roars from demons, and the breath of curses and disasters was rolling and roaring rapidly.
"Three!!!"
Zheng Fan yelled.
"what?"
Xue San was also a little panicked now and started biting his fingernails nervously.
"Is this a medicinal bath?"
Tian Wujing used to do this every fucking day?
It's not easy for Tian Wujing to live and grow up.
Zheng Fan felt that his body was about to explode. At this time, even if he wanted to get out of the soup pool, he could not move. His whole body was like a balloon that was about to explode at the first touch.
"Uh... My Lord, it's a medicinal bath... It's just that I added something. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't be. I've taken a bath before, and it's not so intense..."
"What was added!!!"
"Um, the blood of A Cheng and A Ming."
"..." Zheng Fan!
