Chapter 212: The courtiers
Not to mention how happy the feeling of the enemy was, Beiran occupied Yanluo's dormitory, changed into a costume, sat on the high chair in the main hall of the Demon Palace, and looked at the demons below who surrendered to her, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
But the more she laughed, the more afraid the people below became, to this day, the bodies of the old demon lord and the princess had been hanging on the highest city tower in the center of the demon world for seven days, and the smell of decay and stink dispersed several meters away, so that the surrounding demons could not eat and rest normally, but Bei Ran had no intention of putting them down, and was bound to let the people of the entire demon world see the tragic situation of their death.
And she didn't say it, and no one dared to mention it, in the past few days when Bei Ran took office, it was always cloudy and uncertain, and there were not a few people who died at her hands every day, and everyone in the demon clan was in danger, for fear that she would say the wrong word and do the wrong thing, and the next one to be stripped alive and hung on the city tower was herself.
This is the first time since she seized the position of the demon king, the first time to convene the ministers to the main hall to discuss matters, this kind of occasion, the ministers should have spoken, and the king listened to the government, but there was silence on the field, and no one dared to make a sound. Bei Ran is not annoyed, on the contrary, she is particularly satisfied with this result, it seems that she is not bad, and everyone at the moment is afraid of her.
So, she started this political discussion herself: "You are all smart people, I call you here today, I think you also know in your hearts what it is for, the old dynasty is no more, the future demon clan will be ruled by me, since ancient times, the emperor and the emperor can live in it, if anyone is not satisfied, just come to fight." ”
Naturally, no one dared to disagree, as soon as her voice fell, Qi Zhan's response immediately sounded in the hall: "I am willing to listen to the Demon Lord's dispatch." ”
Bei Dye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Very good." With that in mind, let's get down to business. ”
"I'm new here, and I'm not familiar with the affairs of the palace, if you want the demon clan to be more brilliant than before, you still need to help me with these many trivial things."
"The battle not long ago caused heavy casualties to our people, many places were damaged, and all parts were in ruins, and now all parties have been stabilized, which of you is willing to take care of this matter of appeasing the families of the deceased and repairing the royal capital?"
After a while, there was a person in the hall: "Back to the Demon Lord, I took care of the internal affairs of the palace before, if I don't give up, I am willing to share the worries for the Demon Lord." ”
Bei Ran stood up from the chair, clapped his hands and said: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to you, and when the matter is over, this gentleman will be rewarded." ”
Because of the threats and intimidation in the past few days, or a little sweetness, today's first meeting with the ministers, the effect is not bad, better than she expected, it seems that the future unification of the demon race, so that the upper and lower hearts are just around the corner.
After talking about the major events in the palace, a minister raised an objection: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that this time the demon clan has established a new dynasty and the new monarch has taken the throne, which is a sensation in the entire Six Realms, although the former demon lord and his family have been removed, but there are inevitably old ministries left behind, the minister is worried that these people will report to the heavenly realm to invite rescuers, which is not good for the king, for the sake of the overall situation, please also ask the king to make plans early." ”
Bei Ran looked at the person who spoke, and thought to himself, he was really bold, he dared to say such things on such an occasion, and he was not afraid that she would kill him.
Instead, she hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and showed a hint of appreciation for this person, although what he said made people feel a little unhappy when they heard it, but it was true, and it was really for the sake of her, the new king. If those old subordinates who are not obedient to her really move to the rescue, isn't she the one who comes to attack the heavenly soldiers, this is really a matter of heart.
But at the moment, she did not say how to deal with this matter, but said lightly: "What Qing said is reasonable, and I will think about it carefully." That's all for today's court meeting, and there is nothing to retreat from. ”
Although those ministers seemed to be calm and quiet on the surface, they were actually panicked like deer in their hearts, and as soon as they heard that the meeting was dismissed, they immediately left in groups, all of them running faster than rabbits, but the minister who was worried about the attack of the heavenly soldiers walked very slowly. He looked at Bei Dye, who was recuperating with his eyes closed, and hesitated for a long time before leaving.
Bei Ran leaned back in the wide chair, closed her eyes, her mind was in chaos, she hadn't slept soundly in a long time. A few days ago, she was gouged out by Yan Luosheng and thrown into the demon refining furnace, and it was then that she really knew what hell on earth was.
The demon refining furnace with a capacity comparable to a large hall is filled with all kinds of monsters, all of them are extremely ferocious, no matter what kind of monster the other party is, they will eat it when they see it, and the weak will eat the strong. Slowly, the little demons with low mana were all eaten, and only those terrible demons were left in the furnace, and then the big demons began to eat and devour each other, and finally turned each other's bodies into one, absorbing each other's mana moves for their own use.
In addition, Yan Luo will also throw poison into it every once in a while, or throw some highly poisonous centipede scorpions, or directly pour a few barrels of poison into it, and the fierce monsters will eat it, some of the beasts will become more powerful, and some of the bodies will begin to mutate, and eventually grow into some ugly monsters that can't recognize the shape.
Therefore, in the inside, wild boars with three heads and four tails, rabbits with wings, and poisonous snakes with barbs abound, and if you stay in it for a long time, you may be assimilated into the mind, thinking that those are the appearance of normal creatures. When Kitazan was thrown in, it was such a scene inside, and there were no shadows of normal creatures at all, and some were just some bloodthirsty monsters.
Her entry undoubtedly gave hope to the hungry monsters, who looked at her with fierce eyes, and as soon as the door of the furnace was closed, they were overwhelmingly overwhelmed. She couldn't remember how she had killed the monsters one by one, devoured them, absorbed their power, and finally burst out of the furnace.
The last image in her mind was of a heap of bloody monsters rushing in front of her, fangs biting at every inch of her skin, pain so painful that she couldn't breathe. Originally, she was sure to die, but things were reversed, and when she was on the verge of death, her body burst out of a wave of power that was so strong that she herself was quite shocked, and it was this power that led her to slay the demons in the furnace, eat away at their bodies, and finally turn herself into this inhuman and ghostly appearance.
After the furnace was broken, she had her revenge, and while she was happy with the satisfaction of her strength, she had to endure another kind of pain. Because she swallowed too many monsters, the resentment and evil on their bodies were also transferred to her, and it was okay to wake up, but once she fell asleep, the howls of all kinds of monsters exploded in her brain, and she cried day and night.
Bei Ran woke up from the chair, her two-color pupils were filled with the same color of fear, she calmed down, strode off the chair, and went out of the temple door.
Unexpectedly, the only person who took the initiative to speak in the main hall was still outside the hall and never left. Because he was impressed, Beiran recognized him at a glance, and stepped forward and said, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”
The man saluted her, and then said, "Your Excellency really doesn't think about strengthening the border defenses?" The attack of heavenly soldiers is not a trivial matter. ”
Bei Ran glanced at him: "Don't worry about it, I have my own plans." ”
The man said, "That's fine, the minister will retreat first." ”
He was about to leave, and Beiran said again: "You are the first person who cares about me after I came here, what is your name?" ”
"Front shore."
Beiran said: "Okay, I wrote it down, you can go." ”
She sighed slightly, she naturally knew that her killing of the king and seizing the throne would cause dissatisfaction from all walks of life, and what the former shore said was an inevitable result, I am afraid that after so many days, the well-informed people have long known everything about this matter.
