After becoming the villain

Chapter 201 "Long-planned" and "Secret Guard Linglong"

Hearing this, Ling Zhi still felt that it was a bit too risky.

His analysis and advice——

"There are 18 stronger countries in the Western Regions. Even if the Yi family does not have Yi Xiangtian, they are still a family of beast tamers, and there are..."

"Those small countries are not worth mentioning at all."

Yan Wulu began to answer, "Although the Yi family still has some strength left, they are leaderless. As long as there is a spark of fire, they will fight among themselves. The only thing worth being vigilant about is the Demonic Sect of the Western Regions, but..."

Yan Wulu paused for a moment, then smiled slightly and suddenly said: "...I have already made contact with people from the Demon Cult."

"...They promised that as long as they can drive out the Yi family and subdue and control the eighteen Rong kingdoms, they are willing to rule the Western Regions with us."

Ling Zhi couldn't believe it. He didn't know when the crown prince Yan Wulu got in touch with the Demon Sect.

At this time, there happened to be news from a spy.

Yan Wulu just asked him to read it directly.

The spy said——

"Not long after Master Su Xin of the Wulin Alliance and others left the realm of the North, they traveled to the east of the river. The leader of the Demon Church, She Chiman, was rescued."

"...Thinking about it, it should be someone from the Demon Cult."

"...But it is still unclear how people in the Demon Cult learned the whereabouts of Master Su Xin and others, and how they were able to rescue She Chiman under Master Su Xin."

Yan Wulu nodded slightly when he heard this, signaling for him to retreat.

He looked at Ling Zhi, couldn't help smiling, and said——

"Now, we have begun to seek cooperation with the Demon Sect in the Western Regions."

……

……

For a long time, Zhenbei Palace has actually made secret arrangements in various places.

In addition to Beidi, the Hedong area, the Longxi area, the Hexi Corridor, and the Hetao area all have the power of the northern secret guards of Yandong Town, as well as many other unknown affiliated forces.

Of course Yan Wulu also knew what his father Yan Dong was doing secretly.

He felt that as long as the world was in chaos, his father could directly control the entire northern half of Daqian in an instant.

From the Qinling Mountains to the north of the Huaihe River, any wilderness in the northern country can fall into the hands of the Zhenbei Army in an instant.

Zhao Purui, the old emperor of Daqian, probably had already felt this.

He knew that Daqian did not yet have an army capable of fighting the Zhenbei Army on the northern plains.

Therefore, he has long been interested in giving up the plain areas around Northland.

The old emperor ordered Yu Wenhu, the general of Beizhu Kingdom, to station in Longxi, thinking that he could rely on the danger in Guanzhong to resist and suppress the Zhenbei Army.

But he obviously underestimated the penetration power of Zhenbei Palace in other areas...

In fact, the Four Seasons Palace is the most powerful and prestigious martial arts force in the Longxi region.It was Yan Dong who secretly supported it.

If he is really determined to rebel, Yu Wenhu's Longxi camp will be the first to be defeated.

And now, Yan Wulu wants to go further on this basis...

In the Western Region, in the past, because of the existence of the Yi family and the fact that Yi Xiangtian was not an ordinary person, he had never been able to set foot in it.

But now, first Yi Qiuyue brought a large number of Zhenbei secret guards to the Zhenbei Palace to spy on the Yi family in the Western Regions, and then Yi Xiangtian was captured by Yan Wulu and others.

This is a God-given opportunity.

By then, if it succeeds, it will connect the original Northern Territory with the Western Territory...

Half of the world has fallen into the hands of the Zhenbei Army.

Even if we take another [-] steps back, with the power and territory of the Western Region, we will have more options to deal with the Northern Territory and protect the Northern Territory in the future.

But now, we cannot openly use the Zhenbei Army to seize and control the Western Region. Otherwise, wouldn't it be true that we are disobeying the emperor's order and conspiring to rebel?
We need someone who can represent the Zhenbei Palace to go to the Western Regions.

He will lead the secret power of Zhenbei Palace in the Western Region, cooperate with the Demon Cult, exterminate and destroy the Yi family, subdue and control the Rong Kingdom, and build a force on the surface.

...just like the Four Seasons Palace in Longxi.

The task is difficult and complex.

Moreover, this person must be proficient in the art of secret guards and know how to act in the dark.

"...Lingzhi, do you have any recommendations?"

Yan Wulu asked.

Ling Zhi also finally understood what Yan Wulu was thinking.

He felt that what the Crown Prince did was... reasonable.

Ling Zhi thought for a while, walked forward, bowed slightly, and said respectfully——

"Your Highness, my subordinate, there is one candidate."

"...This person is an extraordinary genius in the Zhenbei secret guard system, and is ranked first in the overall ranking all year round. Maybe he can complete this task for the prince."

"Oh?"

Seeing the always steady secret agent Ling Zhi praising another Zhenbei secret guard, Yan Wulu's curiosity was aroused for a moment.

"I don't know who you are talking about?"

"Zhenbei Secret Guard No. [-] - Ling Long."

"exquisite?"

Yan Wulu said to himself when he heard the sound, "...it's a rather nice name. She must be a first-rate beauty, right?"

"Uh……"

Secret Agent Lingzhi was a little dazed. He composed himself and respectfully replied——

"Reporting to the crown prince, this person is my younger brother. His surname is Ling, the 'dragon' of Jiaolong. He is not a woman."

When Yan Wulu heard this, he also knew that he had made a big mistake, and couldn't help but chuckle, "I'm really sorry, but I accidentally made a mistake."

"It's okay, my subordinate didn't explain it clearly."

"Yes." Yan Wulu responded, then said directly: "Linglong should also be in Zhenbei Palace, let me see him."

"Subordinates obey."

Ling Zhi bowed, took a few steps back, and then gave instructions to the secret guards outside.

The secret guard took the order and left.

Soon.

There was the sound of footsteps.

Yan Wulu frowned slightly when he heard the sound.

He remembered that around him, not to mention the top Zhenbei secret guards like Zhang Chunhua and Yi Qiuyue, all the Zhenbei secret guards with some strength were able to remain silent.

But this person's footsteps were so heavy, just like ordinary people.

Come to think of it, if he didn't know the character of the secret agent Ling Zhi, Yan Wulu would have started to wonder if Ling Zhi took the opportunity to recommend someone close to him who was incompetent.

After the sound of heavy footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, a tall man entered the palace.

Yan Wulu sat behind the main case and looked down at the hall quietly.

That big man was about nine feet tall, with a beardless white face, and he looked handsome.

But I don't know why, but I always have a strange feeling.

Generally speaking, among the Zhenbei secret guards, as far as Yan Wulu has seen, any one of them is one of a hundred talents, and has received systematic training since childhood, and is shrewd and capable.

But the big man in front of me gives people a feeling of laziness and vanity...

He doesn't look like a Zhenbei dark guard.

But come to think of it, maybe a truly outstanding secret agent must be like this, invisible to everyone, so that he can not be noticed by others.

Otherwise, if the body and temperament are too prominent, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous to write the word "secret agent" directly on the face?
Yan Wulu retreated to everyone, even the secret agent Ling Zhi did not stay.

He gave Ling Long a seat and treated him with great courtesy.

He wanted to talk to Ling Long alone, and wanted to see what the strength of this person, whom even the most capable and stable secret agent Ling Zhi strongly recommended, was like?

A long time has passed.

Detective Chief Ling Zhi has been waiting outside the hall. He is very anxious. He also knows everything about his brother's abilities.

He believed that even if he had a private meeting with the Crown Prince, Ling Long would be able to handle it easily with his qualifications and strength.

Detective Chief Ling Zhi finally saw Ling Long coming out.

He stepped forward, intending to inquire about the result, but who knows, Ling Long had already taken a step ahead without saying a word.

Secret Agent Lingzhi was confused...

His brother seemed not to care at all about such important matters.

Inside the hall.

Yan Wulu now crossed his fingers and placed his elbows on the long desk. He was thinking about what Ling Long had said before...

He had a lot of conversations with Ling Long, and asked some questions about the Western Regions and the Zhenbei Dark Guard.

And the latter answer...

Yan Wulu was disappointed.

Yan Wulu only felt that this person... was really the Zhenbei secret guard?
Yan Wulu met Ling Long, and he didn't think highly of this person.

However, the strong recommendation from the secret agent Ling Zhi made him wonder if he had made a mistake in his judgment.

"Let's wait and see."

Yan Wulu's last words ended the ideological conflict in his mind.

that night.

Yan Wulu was in his bedroom, holding a candle and reviewing documents from various state capitals in the North.

Now that Yan Wulu is taking over the affairs of the Northland for the first time, he must be more attentive and hands-on to prevent anyone from taking advantage of his father, Yan Dong's absence, to deceive him.

However, for now, it's pretty good.

As expected of his father, the administration of officials in this northern region is much cleaner and simpler than the area controlled by Da Qian.

As the crown prince's concubine, Zhang Chunhua brought some meals and supper to Yan Wulu.

She stood behind Yan Wulu and rubbed his temples, and said -

"Your Majesty, you are already smart, and your talents in government decision-making are even more extraordinary. But now you are still so diligent in government affairs and hands-on. How can the palace officials, state and county guards under you take the opportunity to take some time off? ?”

When Yan Wulu heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Chunhua, please stop teasing me. I'm just a stupid bird flying first."

"...I'm not good at handling these government affairs. If I don't work harder, I'm afraid that by the time my father comes back, the internal affairs of the North will be in chaos."

"My son is humble."

Zhang Chunhua opened his mouth and continued sincerely——

"As far as Chunhua knows, the people and officials in the North have already regarded you as the emperor, and in their hearts, you have been much more powerful and decisive than the king in the past few days since you took charge of the affairs of the North. "

"Furthermore, Your Majesty..."

Zhang Chunhua praised Yan Wulu with all kinds of beautiful words.

But for Yan Wulu, he obviously did not believe Zhang Chunhua's subjective words.

How could he possibly compare to his father's decades of political achievements in just a few days of ruling?

Zhang Chunhua was also aware of it, so she took advantage of the opportunity and said: "... Your Majesty, you seemed to be worried about something before, right?"

Yan Wulu nodded slightly when he heard the words.

He told Zhang Chunhua about secretly seizing control of the Western Region and the candidate Secret Guard Ling Long highly recommended by the secret agent Ling Zhi.

"Linglong?"

Zhang Chunhua gently pressed Yan Wulu's temples to relieve fatigue, and continued to speak -

"...Chunhua, as a member of the Zhenbei secret guards, he also knows a little about the secret guard No. [-] Linglong. Originally, he should have told the prince to use it as a basis for decision-making."

"...But, whether as a secret guard or as a wife, Chunhua should not influence the master's thoughts. Therefore, I don't know for a moment whether I should talk about it or not."

Yan Wulu smiled.

He didn't care about Zhang Chunhua calling himself a wife. He knew the other party's inner desire for privilege and pampering, but he didn't pay attention to these.

"Chunhua You has already talked about this, how can I ask you not to talk about it?"

"...Anything from now on, as long as it's you, it doesn't matter if you just say it."

With Yan Wulu's guarantee, Zhang Chunhua also said bluntly——

"Linglong is indeed extremely talented and powerful. He ranks first among the Zhenbei secret guards all year round."

"...The secret agent is not showing any favoritism. Ling Long is indeed a more suitable candidate and can be recommended. However, you are right, Crown Prince. Ling Long is too frivolous and unruly to be considered a competent town commander. Northern Dark Guard.”

"...If Linglong is arranged to go to the Western Regions to take charge of this matter, the chances of success or failure may be mixed, and it is difficult to guarantee."

Yan Wulu nodded slightly and agreed with Zhang Chunhua's statement.

He said—

"Originally, the secret agent Ling Zhi is a good candidate because he is steady and experienced. But after all, as the secret agent, he is inseparable from the coordination of such a huge secret guard system in the palace and all regions."

Hearing this, Zhang Chunhua suddenly interrupted and said: "Actually, in addition to the secret agent Ling Zhi, there is also an extremely reliable candidate beside the prince."

"Oh?"

Yan Wulu was a little curious, "... Listening to Chunhua, you seem to have already found the most suitable candidate for this task."

"Exactly."

"who is it?"

"Your Majesty, this person is far away in the sky and right in front of you."

"Is it Chunhua you?"

"Does the Crown Prince think Chunhua is not qualified?"

"Of course not, it's just..." Yan Wulu was worried.

"If the Crown Prince agrees, Chunhua and I can tell you a secret about Ling Long."

Yan Wulu suddenly stopped talking when he heard this.

He felt a little strange in his heart, if it was Zhang Chunhua's own secret, he was still a little curious and wanted to know.

But what does Linglong, a rough guy like him, have to do with him?Why does he care about Ling Long's secret when he has nothing to do?
Zhang Chunhua, on the other hand, had quietly leaned down, slightly close to Yan Wulu's ear, and whispered in a low voice——

"Linglong, in the past, because he was often mistaken for his name by others, the small and exquisite "Linglong" made people who didn't know the truth think he was a woman."

"...Originally, Linglong used to be extremely resistant to this."

"...But over time, one time, Chunhua accidentally discovered that Linglong was secretly trying to wear women's clothes! Hahaha."

"what?"

Yan Wulu was shocked when he heard this, and he thought to himself - this Linglong is actually a cross-dressing boss!
Why do I always meet such cruel people?
The smile on Zhang Chunhua's face became even wider, and she added with deep meaning: "...and, please don't tell me, Crown Prince, Ling Long looks pretty good in women's clothing when dressed up and put on makeup. He looks better than he originally looked."

"...He performed several missions by dressing up as a woman."

"This……"

Yan Wulu had constant troubles in his heart. He wanted to say, what does this have to do with me!
But when he was about to speak, he changed his words——

"Chunhua, it's not a good habit for you to reveal other people's hobbies and interests at will."

"I...I only said this because I am with you, Crown Prince."

Zhang Chunhua seemed a little cautious, "...If it were anyone else, Chunhua would naturally not say anything."
