In the Tower of Babel in the territory of annihilation, five first-rank soul officials are gathering at the top of the Tower of Babel. Towering into the clouds, it is the closest thing to the sky in the Extinction Realm.

Dressed in robes of different colors, they were staring solemnly at a black boulder in the middle of the hall.

The stone emitted a trace of black gas, and was floating about two meters above the ground. Under the boulder, there is a one-meter-high round platform, on which the sun, moon and stars are engraved, and there are even Taoist five elements gossip imprints, which is really a little confusing.

The five of them just stood respectfully in front of the stone, not saying a word, as if waiting for something.

After about half an hour, the black gas on the black stone suddenly became thicker, and in just a moment, almost the entire hall was enveloped in black gas.

At the same time, a gloomy voice slowly sounded in the black stone.

"Have you figured out where that red light came from?"

The golden-robed old man among the five hurriedly replied, "Soul spirit, that red light seems to come from above. ”

"Above? Which one is above? Heaven? Asura Path? Or where? ”

The golden-robed old man frowned slightly, and then replied again, "It should be the Asura Dao." ”

"Should? Is this your speculation? Why not investigate? I need to know what that red light is, and where it comes from. I don't want to hear you speculate with me here, I want the facts. Do you understand? ”

When the golden-robed old man heard this, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly responded: "Yes, my subordinates will send someone to investigate." As soon as there is news, my subordinates will come here to report to you. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black qi on the black stone was slightly subdued.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news, and in seven days, I'll know everything. You can step down! ”

Hearing this, the five soul officers immediately bowed and saluted, and then quickly left the top floor. Their backs were already wet, and it seemed that the person in the black stone was the true owner of the Tower of Babel.

After the five of them exited, the sound of black stone sounded again. "It's been a thousand years since the war of gods and demons, don't those guys still refuse to let me go? Damn, really hateful! ”

War of gods and demons? The person in this black stone even knew about the battle of gods and demons, could it be that he also came here from the ruins of gods and demons? So who is he? God? Demons? Or Skywalker?

……

Returning to the East Palace, Tong Yan still looked at Wu Saburo and the crown princess in front of him with a smile on his face. He didn't take Wu Saburo's "kind" reminder too seriously, on the contrary, he was a little excited and a little enthusiastic.

"General Wu, thank you for telling me so much of the truth. But all this is only the worst-case scenario, and who knows what the outcome will be until the last step? As for what you said about the armies of the Northern Yan Kingdom and the Flying Dragon Kingdom that have already marched towards the Zhao Kingdom, I think the soldiers guarding the frontier will definitely not sit idly by. They will give the invaders the most powerful blows, and they will accomplish their mission. What we have to consider now is how to stabilize the domestic situation so that we can devote all our national strength to dealing with foreign enemies. It is especially important when the Zhao country is stormy! ”

Some people may say that the policy adopted by a certain party during the anti-Japanese period was that it must first secure the interior before attacking the outside world, but why was it wrong? This is related to the social background at the time, and Annei is actually right, and our party also agreed to join forces to resist Japan. However, a certain party at that time did not accept this kind of compromise and regarded our party as the number one enemy and stronger than the aggressors against Japan. Blindly consume national strength, fight your own people, and when the time comes, you will have no strength to fight against foreign enemies.

And the situation of Zhao now is very different from that time, Zhao needs a monarch, a monarch who is desirable to the people. As long as we have this backbone, we will be able to meet the aspirations of the people and unite at home, and when the time comes, we will naturally be able to confront foreign enemies, and we will naturally be like a tiger with wings and our strength will be doubled.

Regarding Tong Yan's statement, Wu Saburo thought for a while and agreed. But the most important problem that cannot be ignored now is that those royal relatives have joined forces with the intention of forcing the palace. Even with the support of the Imperial Forest Army, will this prince be able to sit firmly in the country?

"Your Royal Highness, I must admit that you have indeed impressed me. But do you have a foolish plan for how to settle down? To tell the truth, the army of the palace has been scheduled to launch a battle to capture the king in the palace at the end of the night. When the time comes, do you really have a way to stop the rebels and stabilize the dynasty? ”

Hearing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Thank you again for informing me of the time of the rebel party's attack, as long as you sincerely serve me." I'll take care of the rest! ”

Wu Saburo hesitated for a moment, although he still didn't quite believe Tong Yan. But he is willing to take risks with him, after all, he doesn't want to be a real thief, such an infamy, I'm afraid that an aspiring person doesn't want to carry it.

"Okay, I promise you. I, a soldier of the Imperial Forest Army, am willing to advance and retreat with you. However, I also hope that you can fulfill your promise, so that I can stay with Wen Jing for the rest of my life. ”

"Wen Jing? Is it the crown princess? The name doesn't match her personally, but don't worry, I'm happy to be an adult. Now, I need you to do the first thing, and I hope you don't let me down! ”

When Wu Saburo heard this, he immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Highness, the last general is willing to be sent!" ”

Tong Yan nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Very good, now, I need you to send five hundred people to guard the various palace gates, and idle people are not allowed to enter or leave." Violators, chop! The remaining 100 people are all gathered at the gate of the East Palace, and I will take you to the court later! ”

"Yes, the last general obeys!" With that, he stood up, turned and walked out of the room.

As soon as the crown princess saw it, she had to follow.

Seeing this, Tong Yan smiled slightly: "The crown princess, please stay, I need someone to protect me, you are good, just be a personal guard for me first." ”

Hearing this, the crown princess glanced at Wu Saburo, and then nodded in response: "Yes, Wen Jing obeys!" ”

Wu Saburo looked at Tong Yan and wanted to say something, but he swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.

He is not stupid, on the contrary, he does have the talent of a general, but he can understand the situation in the world in the palace, which is by no means something that ordinary people can see through. He knew that the prince did not let the crown princess leave with him, and he had another purpose. The main reason is to contain yourself.

The prince did this, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, on the contrary, he had a trace of expectation for this thoughtful prince. Perhaps, he can really turn the tide, and maybe, he can really lead the people of Zhao to defeat foreign enemies.

After Wu Saburo left, Tong Yan immediately shouted to the palace maid outside the room: "Change your clothes for me, it's time to shine!" ”

ps: For some readers who don't understand well, first of all, the legend of the sophistry is not a time-traveling text. Tong Yan did not cross over, but came to the realm of destruction with a "mission". The Annihilation Realm is a world that exists just like the Underworld and the Asura Path. The reason why Tong Yan came here was actually to lay the groundwork for the follow-up. Here, he will get more information and more experience. He will leave, return to the relics of gods and demons with pride and hatred, and return to the world. It's not convenient for me to explain too much because of the spoilers involved. In short, you will understand when the time comes! Thank you for being with us along the way!
