Chapter 406: Demons and monsters!

It was not a major war or an important festival, but the imperial monarch suddenly announced an important national speech, which immediately attracted the attention and discussion of countless people.

"What happened? Is the Oss Empire going to attack us?"

"I heard that the king is not in good health and has been wanting his eldest son to take over. Will he announce this publicly?"

"Is it related to the Lu family? The Lu family killed tens of thousands of Undead Army soldiers. Does this count as treason?"

"Have we discovered aliens? I've said it before, there must be alien civilizations."

"To the natives of the new planet, we are an alien civilization."
-
Phoenix Palace.

Fenghuang walked to the door of Taiji Hall and bumped into Chen Fenglei who had just come out of the inner room.

"Butler Chen," Fenghuang asked, "Is my dad in there?"

"Your Highness." Chen Fenglei bowed slightly and said with a smile, "The king is inside. He has met several groups of people in the past afternoon."

Phoenix raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Are you all here to persuade him?"

Chen Fenglei did not dare to disclose the king's schedule, but reminded him implicitly: "If your highness has nothing to do, why don't you come to visit the king tomorrow?"

Fenghuang understood Chen Fenglei's subtext and knew that her father had made up his mind, and even if she went in now, she would not be able to change anything.

However, as his daughter, there are some things I have to say.

"Please ask Manager Chen to go in and inform him that I brought him the ginseng soup that I made myself. I put a lot of effort into it."

Chen Fenglei looked at Fenghuang deeply, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go tell the king. I've been working for most of the day, it's so exhausting, it's time to eat something to replenish my body."

"Thank you, Manager Chen."

"You are too polite, Princess."

Soon, Chen Fenglei came out again, made an invitation gesture, and said: "The king invites Her Royal Highness the Princess to come in."

"Thank you, Manager Chen."

Fenghuang took the ginseng soup from the servant and walked into the Tai Chi Hall holding the tray in both hands.

Seeing Fenghuang coming in, Zhong Daolong dropped the documents in his hand and said with a smile: "I just felt a little hungry and was about to eat a piece of cake to fill my stomach, when Chen Fenglei ran in and said that my baby daughter made ginseng soup for me."

"It's true that whatever you think about comes true. The only one who can always think about me, an old father, is our Fenghuang."

Fenghuang put the pot on the table, personally served Zhong Daolong a bowl, and said gently: "Come, drink it while it's hot. Don't say it tastes bad."

"No, no, no, I won't tell you no matter how bad it tastes."

Zhong Daolong took a sip of the ginseng soup and said with a smile: "However, my daughter is very smart. She can do anything well and master anything she learns. The soup you make must be the best soup in the world. The chefs in the palace can't compare to it."

"That's because I'm your daughter." Phoenix rolled her eyes, looking sober: "How can I compare with those chefs?"

Zhong Daolong quickly drank a bowl of soup, put the empty bowl on the table, took the handkerchief handed over by Fenghuang and wiped his mouth. Looking at the daughter in front of him who was becoming more and more like her mother and becoming more mature and beautiful, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

However, thinking about the close relationship between her and that brat, she aroused countless worries.

A girl is no longer under the control of her father when she grows up.

He said aloud, "Okay, I've already drunk the soup, so just tell me what you want to say."

Fenghuang said coquettishly, "Can't I just come here to bring soup to Dad?"

"Really? It seems that I have misunderstood our Princess Xiuxue. If you have nothing else to do, then go out and play. Daddy has to continue working."

"dad"

Phoenix knew his father was teasing him, but he still asked the question in his heart honestly: "Do you really want to stand up and make a national speech?"

"It's all been notified. If we cancel it, wouldn't that be breaking our promise? You have to know that a gentleman never jokes. This kind of thing can't be taken lightly." Zhong Daolong smiled kindly, but his tone of voice was extremely serious.

He understood his daughter's real intention of coming here this time, but how could something that had been decided be easily changed?

Besides, if the speech was canceled at short notice, it would be a huge political event.

There will be countless people speculating on his position and attitude, and even more so, countless people will doubt whether he is physically healthy.
"But if you do this, you will completely push the Lu family to the opposite side. You know how important the Lu family is to the empire. Can we really afford the consequences of losing the Lu family?"

"They killed tens of thousands of my soldiers without saying a word. If I don't stand up and express my stance, will there be a second Lu family? A third Lu family?"

"Dad, you should know that the Lu family is not entirely to blame for this matter."

"Oh?" Zhong Daolong looked at Fenghuang thoughtfully. He knew that his daughter was always smart, so he asked with a trace of scrutiny: "Then who is wrong?"

Fenghuang bit her lips lightly and resolutely expressed her concerns: "Who is the biggest beneficiary? The conflict between the royal family and the Lu family was manipulated and promoted by the Shen family."

"If Shen Wuxiang hadn't caught up with the Lu family and pursued them relentlessly, and even asked the Security Bureau to come to their house to ask for the person, how could the Lu family be so extreme?"

"Then why didn't they ask me for help? They did such a big thing without even notifying me? Am I, the leader of the country, so unworthy of their trust?"

"You have authorized the Military Commission to handle this matter, and the Military Commission is controlled by Shen Wuxiang."

"Perhaps, in the eyes of the Lu family, you have already made your attitude clear."

Zhong Daolong had a sinister expression and said in a deep voice: "For those disobedient puppies, we still need to give them a proper beating. Otherwise, they will mistakenly think that they are also the masters."

Phoenix blinked her long eyelashes and asked softly, "What about the Shen family? How should we beat the Shen family?"

"The Shen family is a wolf. There must be other ways to deal with the wolves."

"Dad, I suggest that we give the Lu family a chance and a glimmer of hope. If we really let them decide to die, it will be a huge loss for the empire."

Zhong Daolong smiled and said, "Why is my precious daughter suddenly paying attention to the current situation? Or has someone asked her to come here to lobby?"

"No one has come to me. I came here on my own initiative." Fenghuang knew that her father was suspicious. She looked at him sincerely and said, "I just hope that our country will get better and better. I don't want it to suffer unnecessary losses. We can obviously avoid all this."

"So, what's your suggestion?"

"I know it's impossible to cancel this national speech, but I hope Dad's attitude will be as gentle as possible." Fenghuang looked at Zhong Daolong with sparkling eyes, expressing her selfless attitude: "If possible, I hope you can call Lu Qingshan, the head of the Lu family."

“Perhaps, some disasters can be avoided.”

Zhong Daolong kept smiling, looked at Fenghuang lovingly and said, "If someone else came to me and said these words, I would have kicked them out long ago. But since it was said by my precious daughter, I will seriously consider it."

Phoenix stood up and said, "Then I won't disturb Dad from working."

"Yeah." Zhong Daolong nodded.

When the phoenix left, the smile on Zhong Daolong's face gradually faded and his eyes became cold.
-
Phoenix time. 7 o'clock sharp.

Zhong Daolong appeared in front of the camera of Phoenix Empire TV Channel 1 on time, wearing a gold and white royal court uniform and a pair of black-framed glass glasses. He had a stern expression and an elegant temperament.

"Citizens of the Phoenix Empire, I have to come out and tell you this sad news. The Fire Fox Brigade, the White Wolf Brigade, the 722nd Brigade of the Undead Army, our brave warriors, were wiped out in an internal conflict."

"They disappeared quietly in the heart of Luban Mountain. They were killed by the Lu family, who is well-known in the empire."

"They are descendants of Lu Ban, the ancestor of machinery. They are deeply loved by the people and trusted by the royal family."

"But they mercilessly raised their butcher knives against their own comrades. I feel the same pain as you do, but also an irrepressible anger."

"Those soldiers are the most valuable assets of the empire, and they are the fathers and children of countless families. As the patriarch of the empire, I cannot tolerate such a thing happening."

"Therefore, I will entrust the Military Commission headed by Shen Wuxiang to handle this major accident with full authority. We will hold the Lu family accountable indefinitely."

"This is war. A blood debt must be repaid with blood. The blood of the warriors will not be shed in vain."

"God bless the Phoenix!"
-
The whole people was in an uproar.

"This is war!"

"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"

"We will hold the Lu family accountable indefinitely."
-
Zhong Daolong didn't say much, and only a few important pieces of information can be distilled.

However, everyone knew that the empire was preparing to declare war on the Lu family.

The whole country is mobilized to attack a family.

Some older people felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. Twenty years ago, the great leader of the empire also sat in front of the TV camera and said that he would declare war on a certain family.
All the members of that family were killed.

If the Starlink network wasn't overly developed, it would even be able to erase all traces of their existence in this world.

The Lu family will perish!

This is what everyone thinks.

Soon, the Military Commission also made deployments and responses.

The Military Commission will mobilize seven ace brigades of the Undead Army, the Fire Army, and the Phoenix Army, totaling 100,000 people, to besiege Lubanshan. At the same time, other departments also began to arrest and harvest the scientific researchers of the Lu family and the industries under the name of Lubanshan.

Either it will be closed down or it will be nationalized.

Overnight, the entire Phoenix city was in panic.

However, the much-anticipated Luban Mountain encirclement and suppression campaign never started.

The 100,000-strong army surrounded Luban Mountain, but never sent anyone to forcibly attack the mountain.

Not even a small-scale harassment.

I don’t know if it’s because the last lesson was too painful and made those masters in the Military Commission more cautious, or if they are plotting a bigger conspiracy.

The center of the storm was eerily quiet.
-
Sunshine Welfare Home.

The little wolf was leading a group of children to play games in the yard.

The eagle catches the chick.

The little wolf played the role of an eagle, and tried his best to act ferociously as if he was choosing a chicken to devour.

A group of seven or eight-year-old children formed a chick team and resisted the attack of the eagle under the protection of the mother hen.

Just as they were circling, a number of black cars stopped in front of the Sunshine Welfare Home.

A large number of security officers in dark blue uniforms rushed out of the car. They acted quickly and took over the front and back doors of the Sunshine Welfare Home.

The walls of the courtyard were also filled with people armed with guns and wearing armor. Not even a mouse could escape from under their noses.

The door of a black car in the fleet workshop was opened from outside.

Bang!
A black leather boot stretched out and landed heavily on the ground.

Then the second foot.

Guo Nu, with her big belly, looked up at the welfare home's red-letter sign with a white background. A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and she said, "The name of the Sunshine Welfare Home is good, but there is no sunshine inside, and it hides all kinds of evil spirits."

Because of the incident here, the children were frightened and hid behind the little wolf.

The eagle just now turned into a hen. He shielded the children behind his body, stared fiercely at Guo Nu and others, and asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Guo Nu ignored Xiao Lang's questioning, spat a mouthful of thick phlegm, and said, "Where is the dean? Call your dean out."

"Our dean is not here." Little Wolf said, "Tell me if you have anything to say."

"Talk to you?" Guo Nu's eyes finally fell on the little wolf's face, and he said with disdain: "Who the hell are you? You haven't even grown all your hair yet, how can I talk to you?"

The more pitiful the child is, the stronger his self-esteem is.

Because they have nothing but this.

The little wolf was humiliated in public and felt extremely resentful.

However, for the sake of the little ones behind him, he could only suppress his anger.

"I'm their eldest brother. I told you, the dean is not here. You can talk to me if you have anything." Little Wolf tried hard to force a smile.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

He knows the hardships of life and knows when to bow his head.

Now when people come to you, if you just smile and say a few words, you can solve the problem.
He is willing.

Guo Nu was already impatient. He waved his hand and said, "Get rid of these little brats and lock them up somewhere."

Two people rushed towards the little wolf, trying to take him away from there.

"I'll go with you? Can you please let them go?" The little wolf begged, "They are just a bunch of children, they don't know anything. This will scare them."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Guo Nu sneered and said, "Take them all away. If you keep talking nonsense, you will suffer."

The little wolf's eyes suddenly became fierce, like an angry wolf cub.

He dodged one man's grasp and punched him in the stomach.

He spun his body 180 degrees on the spot and kicked the other man in the crotch.

boom!
Caught off guard, both of them were hit at the same time.

The bodies fell to the ground together.

Especially the one who was kicked in the crotch, he fell to the ground wailing, his body struggling and twisting constantly.

No one expected that a half-grown child could have such skills.

More special forces personnel rushed over here.

Guo Nu's face lit up with joy, and he stared at Little Wolf with shining eyes, and said with a smile: "The boss said that there is something wrong with this welfare home. I was a little unsure, but now it seems that there is indeed a big problem."

He waved his hand and shouted, "Come here, dig up this orphanage three feet deep, and don't let anyone go. Everyone is a suspect."

"Yes." Everyone responded in unison.

The little wolf was about to resist, but a bullet hit his leg.

boom!
The entire right leg was gone.

flutter!
The little wolf fell to the ground and fainted.

Although he learned some Kung Fu, he was not a true practitioner.

A mortal body cannot endure this kind of pain.

When the other children saw the little wolf being shot and falling to the ground, they all had horrified expressions and stared at the scene with wide eyes and disbelief.

"Take them away, don't let any of them go. They are all traitors." Guo shouted angrily.

Although the special forces members felt reluctant, they had to obey orders and could only pick up the children one by one and load them into the truck to take away.

"Put it down." An old voice suddenly came.

The voice was cold and mournful, and even though it was a sunny day, it made people feel creepy.

It doesn't seem to come from the human world, but more like it comes from the unfathomable underworld.

Everyone who heard it couldn't help but get goosebumps.

"Who is it?" Guo Nu looked around and shouted.

A large number of special forces members gathered around Guo Nu and protected him tightly.

With the Lu family's previous experience as a lesson, Guo Nu raised his own security level by several levels.

No matter what, I can't get beaten this time.

If he gets beaten again, all his authority as the director of the Security Bureau will be destroyed.

Whoosh!
A hunchbacked old lady appeared on the roof.

In his mouth was a large, burning cigar.

The weather this year is a bit weird. It's already September, but it's still hot and humid.

However, even in this hot weather, she still wore a thick black robe, wrapping her body tightly.

She was like a witch from the 13th century who couldn't see the light of day.

"Who are you?" Guo Nu asked again.

"I'm the director." The old lady's voice sounded like hell as always. She looked at the children who were being held by the special forces and were about to be taken away, and said in a hoarse voice, "The director of Sunshine Welfare Home."

"Ah"

Guo Nu made a mocking sound.

He was just the director of an orphanage and didn't take her seriously.

Although this old woman looks scary,
Can he be scarier than myself?

Just go out and ask around, you will find that the Director of the Security Bureau Guo Nu.
He is just like Yan Wenli, the president of the Supervisory Yuan, who can make adults cry bitterly and repent.

Aren’t there enough people who died at your hands?
"After searching everywhere for something, I finally found it without any effort." Guo Nu stared at the old woman with a gloomy smile and said, "We are here just for you."
