The era of all the princes

Chapter 181: The Wind and the Waves!

It is not difficult to inquire about the current residence of General Zhu Guo, but what Jiang Sheng didn't expect was that the place where Liu Yan is now stationed is actually in the Mansion of the Lord of Anan!

The position of the Anan Kingdom is dangerous. The first monarch established the country’s government on the border to strengthen the confidence of the people in the rear. After all, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the farmers in the rear can at least feel a little bit safer.

The King’s Mansion is located in the middle of the city, just one street away from the largest Guangming Temple here. After experiencing the big setbacks mentioned by the proprietress, the Guangming Temple is still brightly lit and has a steady stream of pilgrims. !

The atmosphere between the two seemed a bit weird, but Jiang Sheng was even weirder now, because when he sneaked into the Lord's Mansion, he found that the guards here were all his own soldiers.
The soldiers he worked so hard to raise are guarding other people's mansions, which makes Jiang Sheng feel inexplicably uncomfortable, he has never enjoyed this treatment himself.
While sneaking, Jiang Sheng tried to get as close to the soldiers as possible, hoping to hear some current information from them.

Although they have only been separated for half a month, they have experienced many things. People are changeable. Although the loyalty in the system has not changed, he has to see if there are any signs of this.
But along the way, the soldiers performed with high quality. During the guarding period, they were silent and serious, and extremely dedicated to their work. This made Jiang Sheng not know whether to be relieved or to smile bitterly. He could only follow Luo Lin, who was changing shifts. , was about to show up to ask Liu Yan's whereabouts, when suddenly there was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, Jiang Sheng was taken aback, and quickly sneaked into a shadow.

Most of the soldiers guarding the gate showed joy on their faces, and they rarely joined each other and said, "It's your lord who's back!"

As the sound of horseshoes approached, Liu Yan in military uniform was leading a group of cavalry from a distant street. The cavalry behind them were covered with hideous and weird heads, and the people along the way were all cheering, and there were even special people along the way. Laying flowers on the ground is a gesture of welcoming triumphant warriors.

Along the way, besides the local people, there were also many bounty hunters. Seeing the ghosts hanging from the cavalry, all of them looked serious and whispered to each other.

"The ghost epidemic that broke out in Nancun is indeed from the Langgui clan!"

"Fortunately, I didn't go. If I really get caught, I will be in trouble."

"That's right, the ghost epidemic of the Langgui clan, even the arhats of the Guangming Temple may not be able to escape unscathed. The general of the Zhu Kingdom worshiped by the lord of the country really has two brushes."

Jiang Sheng hid in the dark, watched the discussions on the street, and watched the cheers Liu Yan was enjoying at this time, and secretly analyzed the situation in front of him based on intelligence. The ghost epidemic is a means for the ghost race to invade foreign races, using Yin energy to first corrode the surrounding land environment, and then block the area, and plant ghost seeds on the local civilians. After a long time, the creatures planted with ghost seeds will rot and die. family.

Yes, the ghost clan can't reproduce by itself, they all rely on infection to join new clansmen. After all, this kind of existence is a mutation formed by the resentment after the death of the creature, and it has not entered the reincarnation and wandered in the place of Yin Qi for a long time. It is unlikely to form a group.

Only when a mutant has been accumulated over the years to form a big ghost level, will it have the ability to create companions, but they all use living beings as raw materials.

Making a ghost family is a delicate job, which requires a suitable physique and a specific environment. The so-called ghost epidemic is the name of the outside creature, because the other party does seem to be creating a plague, but in fact they are creating a breeding ground for ghosts. This process is very complicated, each ghost clan needs a different environment, the level of yin energy cannot be high or low, and some specific changes in the energy environment are required.

Therefore, during the ghost epidemic period, the blocked areas are generally guarded by a large number of ghost soldiers of this family. After all, the environment created is complicated and requires a lot of energy. If it fails, the loss will be not small.

Jiang Sheng heard from the proprietress that when Guangming Temple was in its glory, Anan had not had a single ghost epidemic in the past 50 years, but this time the monks in the temple were wiped out. In just ten days, the number of ghost epidemics increased exponentially. Obviously, there are many in Yinshan. All the ghosts knew about this, and they kept probing for more than ten days.

It was so rampant that a large-scale ghost epidemic broke out directly in the west of the city, covering a residential area in the west of the city, involving tens of thousands of people!
The reason why Liu Yan is so popular now is because on the first day she entered the city, she led the soldiers to solve the ghost epidemic in the west of the city, and then instantly established her current prestige, and made the lord of the country pay homage to General Zhu Guo himself!
Enjoying the cheers all the way, Liu Yan didn't look very happy. She led the soldiers under her command and rode all the way into the Lord's Mansion!

"General!" The generals who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward to salute, looking at the Langgui's head hanging on the soldiers' mounts, their faces couldn't stop their reverence!

Lang ghost, the most troublesome type among many ghost clans, is fierce and tall, with a body as hard as iron. This can be seen from the heads of the soldiers, each of which is almost as big as a horse's head.

"My lord has arranged a celebration banquet for the general, please take the general to the table"

Liu Yan frowned, a trace of fatigue flashed in her eyes, she shook her head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but"

"Don't say no."

Just when Liu Yan politely refused, a familiar voice secretly came into her ears, which made Liu Yan, who was already tired, suddenly look stunned, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she changed her mouth and said: "Go and tell the king, Liu Yan tidy up, I'll be there later!"

The general of that family immediately saluted after hearing the words: "Then I will serve you during the banquet, the general is brave, and this time I have to offer a glass of thin wine to my brothers!"

"General Huang, you're being polite." Liu Yan smiled, dismounted and said, "Please go first, Yan will be there later."

Hearing the words, the other party saluted again, and led a group of people to retreat. Liu Yan took a breath, walked all the way to her room, and then said to Luo Lin who was facing her, "Come to my room."

Luo Lin was taken aback, then nodded quickly: "Yes"
-
"My lord?" Luo Lin called out in surprise after seeing Jiang Sheng after entering the room, and was glared at by Liu Yan next to him.

Jiang Sheng glanced at Luo Lin, his voice changed, and he said in a hurry: "My lord, the lord is still waiting for you to take a seat, and the subordinates will come to serve you at night."

The voice was exactly the same as Luo Lin's!
Immediately, Luo Lin was stunned. Seeing this, Liu Yan understood, and said loudly, "Why are you panicking? It's not too late. Help me remove my armor."

Outside, the person watching from the shadows suddenly showed an ambiguous smile: "I thought this one was really innocent. All the beautiful men bestowed by the king were rejected by the other party. I didn't expect to like this kind of guy."

"Isn't that right? He's an immediate general. How can those fragile and beautiful men be happy? The waistband will be broken with one click, right? The king is also lacking in consideration."

The two backed away a little while talking, and in the room, Luo Lin was stunned for a while, and said in a low voice: "My lord, what are you talking about?"

"Go into the inner room and talk." Jiang Sheng didn't bother to talk to Luo Lin's idiot, Liu Yan respectfully saluted, and followed Jiang Sheng to the innermost part of the room.

"When did your lord come?" Liu Yan walked inside and asked while removing her armor.

"I've been here for two days." Jiang Sheng sighed: "I didn't expect this time, such a thing would happen, thank you for your hard work."

"My lord is serious." Liu Yan knelt down and said, "It was Liu Yan who was incompetent. At that time, he hesitated and caused the army to be involved in the shady scene. It is Liu Yan's fault that he has lost many good men now!"

Jiang Sheng waved his hand: "You were right in hesitating at the time. If you force your way into that terrain, you will lose even more. Moreover, there are very powerful existences in that mountain. Even if you manage to break in, the consequences will be more serious than now!"

Liu Yan was taken aback when she heard the words: "Your Excellency, have you been to the Great Sacred Mountain?"

Jiang Sheng nodded: "Let's not talk about this first, let's talk about your situation. I heard that you worshiped General Zhu Guo?"

Liu Yan hurriedly prostrated herself again after hearing the words: "The situation forces me, please forgive me, my lord!"

"Don't keep apologizing, let's talk about the situation first." Jiang Sheng waved his hand.

"Yes" Liu Yan said hastily: "After our group was involved in the shady scene, we came to the Yinshan area, where there are some ghosts who can kill people everywhere. At that time, we ran into a little novice from Guangming Temple who was being chased and killed. We rescued him. After we got off, he took us to the country of Anan."

"After entering the Anan Kingdom, there was a ghost epidemic in the west city. Liu Yan didn't want to meddle in this business, but the little novice persuaded me, saying that the Anan Kingdom worships warriors. If I can solve the frequent ghost epidemics here, I will suffer here." The importance of the king and the nobles is based on this."

"At that time, I was not familiar with the place, and Yan brought so many brothers and didn't know how to make a living for a while, so he tried to make a move. Unexpectedly, he was offered such a great position by the lord after only one move!"

Jiang Sheng frowned when he heard the words: "The little monk asked you to exorcise ghosts?"

"Yes" Liu Yan nodded: "After learning about the situation here, I also feel that something is wrong. Guangming Temple has suffered heavy damage and is unable to exorcise ghosts. Its reputation is plummeting, but the little novice persuaded me to come forward. In this way, then The lord and the nobles around him became more and more indifferent to Guangming Temple, and the other party didn't invite me to Guangming Temple immediately, obviously something was wrong."

"But thinking about it later, that little guy is just a seven or eight-year-old novice monk. He should be a practicing ghost-inducing monk. Maybe he was just grateful at the time and didn't think too much about it."

Jiang Sheng nodded when he heard the words: "It should be like this."

Then he said: "What's the situation here, Lord Anan?"

"It's very complicated!" Liu Yan said solemnly: "The lord is seriously ill, and he may die soon, but the successor is not stable, and the nobles under him have different ideas. I have only been here for ten days, and I have already received many invitations."

"Oh?" Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up: "What are you invited to do?"

"Invite me to stand in line!" Liu Yan whispered: "There are three main forces, the king and the crown prince, the third prince and the Sinan family, the sixth prince and Guangming Temple!"

"It's really time for you to come." Jiang Sheng was a little stunned. No wonder Liu Yan had been frowning just now, and even wanted to directly refuse the king's banquet. Obviously, she was worried about being involved in this storm of seizing the throne, but Jiang Sheng felt that this was a rare opportunity!

"Tell me in detail what's going on with these three parties."
