Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 250 Change of plan?

At the Broken Mirror Lake, the sun sets, and it is the last lake view of the day.

Even the rough soldiers who came here couldn't help but sigh that King Yue had chosen a great place with beautiful scenery, where life would be comfortable both physically and mentally.

As the sun sets, the lights on the lakeside square gradually become the protagonists of this beautiful lake.

The banquet of Yue Wang was naturally exquisite and high-end, full of delicious delicacies with good color, fragrance and taste, as well as aged wine. Even the teacups and wine cups were specially selected fine porcelain, exquisite and luxurious.

As the sound of stringed instruments gradually rose, the night banquet officially began.

Even though there were some empty seats at the edge of the room, they were filled by people from Jizhou Prefecture who were supposed to come but couldn't for various reasons, including those who were arrested and imprisoned by the arrest room, the Prefecture Master Liu Chuan, and the recently popular Chief of the Patrol Case Division Yang Qian. None of them came.

"Yue Wang has arrived!"

The sound of stringed instruments suddenly disappeared, followed by a long shout, and everyone in the square stood up in unison and looked towards one place. On the left, a man wearing a formal royal robe walked out.

Everyone knew it must be Yue Wangzhong, but after seeing his appearance clearly, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, what kind of magic method did Yue Wang use to maintain such a beautiful face? What kind of means did he use?
However, people who were familiar with Prince Yue could see some unhappiness on his face.

Maybe it was because of the big event in Jizhou Prefecture a few days ago?

Or maybe it was because the Mansion Lord Liu Chuan didn't give him face and didn't even show up?

"Everyone, Happy Colorful Cloud Festival!"

"Your Majesty, Anshun!"

Zhou Zhong waved his hand, stood at the main table, and asked everyone to sit down before continuing: "Today we are hosting a banquet to entertain all the pillars of Jizhou Prefecture. You have all worked diligently and conscientiously for the past three years."

Even though these were just polite words, coming from the mouth of a prince, they still made everyone present excited, and I felt relieved that the prince understood me.

After speaking some polite words, Zhou Zhong raised his glass, and everyone in the audience drank along with him, indicating that the feast had officially begun.

The singing and dancing during the banquet were very exciting. Everyone was enjoying the singing and dancing while enjoying the food and wine.

At the main table far away from everyone, there was a man in black robes who was not introduced but sat next to Yue Wangzhong. No one could tell his background, so everyone thought he was one of Yue Wang's staff or a guest official. Everyone remembered him in their hearts, because since he could sit next to Yue Wang, he must be very respected.

Many people were thinking about finding out more about the person around Prince Yue in private, to see if there would be a chance to establish a relationship with him in the future.

But no one would have thought that this person was not Zhou Zhong's aide or guest official, but the remnant of the evil Huashen Sect, Chen Jing.

During the meal, Chen Jing and Zhou Zhong were talking in a way that only they could hear clearly.

Zhou Zhong spoke first and said, "Something happened in Jizhou Prefecture."

"Ok?"

"Liu Chuan and Yang Qian must have found a flaw in the Wu family and guessed that we were going to start a rebellion today. So they took the initiative and gathered Ge Shuni and one guard from the City Guard, Qingye, and Panshi. They then used a trick to deal with Zhao She, the chief of the City Guard. The three guards have now gathered in the city camp and taken down the city defense of Jizhou Prefecture."

Chen Jing's face froze. His brows furrowed. He turned to look at Zhou Zhong and said, "It was your decision to start the rebellion. You said you had planned for many years and it would be foolproof, but you got into trouble before you even started. What on earth are you going to do?
Do you know that if we fail to take Jizhou Prefecture, you and I will not be able to hide in a major war or civil war, and we will not be able to collect enough blood and energy from warriors.

In the end, if the Hongwu Dynasty reacts and mobilizes the Seven Tree Sea, none of us can escape!" Chen Jing had reason to question. He even thought it was outrageous that Zhou Zhong had made such a big mistake before the beginning.

According to the previous plan, once the Hongwu Emperor wanted to take back the fiefdom of Jizhou Prefecture, or to deal with Zhou Zhong, Zhou Zhong would work with Chen Jing to create a murderous civil war, relying on the guards on the surface, but secretly using evil means to erode the army that came to suppress the rebellion from the Hongwu Dynasty, in order to deal with the Emperor's means of reducing the power of the vassal.

To put it bluntly, if we can't develop slowly, then we'll just do something big.

What he wanted was to "die" in this war, and then use the large number of casualties that would inevitably result from victory to plunder a vast amount of blood and energy, practice rapidly, and transfer the blood disaster. As long as he could reach the Out-of-Body Realm or even the Fusion Realm, he would not be afraid even if the Immortal Gate reacted. At most, he could just run away and hide, as the Immortal Gate might not be able to find him.

Perhaps this will be an opportunity for the Huashen Sect to regain its glory.

This plan was not proposed just now, but was proposed many years ago when Chen Jingqian fell into a deep sleep to avoid the blood disaster. It has been more than 30 years, right?

Chen Jing also considered it over and over again and felt that it was a feasible strategy that could be used to deal with unfavorable and irreversible situations.

But I didn't expect to be frustrated so much at the very beginning.

"What about the disciples who were placed in the army? Don't they need to take action to stabilize the situation and regain control of the city's defenses?"

Zhou Zhong smiled and continued to drink and eat, saying: "Don't worry. Jizhou City is the bait we use to fish. It doesn't really matter whether it is controlled by us or by Liu Chuan."

"What do you mean?"

"What I mean is, let Liu Chuan think that he controls Jizhou Prefecture. We will hide first and wait until the Hongwu Dynasty army approaches and then take it back in one fell swoop. Then we can catch the Hongwu Dynasty's reinforcements in a trap. Isn't that wonderful?"

"Great! Tsk, I'm afraid you'll fail again and then we'll have to go our separate ways." Chen Jing had to say Zhou Zhong's words were wonderful. But he also understood that the greater the risk, the greater the reward. In his heart, he did not agree with Zhou Zhong taking such an unnecessary risk.

"Chen Jing, you don't believe me?"

"This is not a question of belief or not, but you have deviated from our plan. We cannot let Liu Chuan take over Jizhou City, we must control it in our own hands. Only in this way can we have the confidence to drag it out.

On the contrary, if we accidentally lose Jizhou City, the plan will fail completely, and it will be unclear whether everyone will survive. I will not take this risk with you!"

"Then what do you want?"

"I will take it back to Jizhou Prefecture."

"You're going there yourself?"

"What? Prince Yue has any objection?" Chen Jing asked back with a smile. He felt that something was wrong before he saw Liu Chuan and Yang Qian coming to the banquet. Especially Zhou Zhong's reaction, he felt that Zhou Zhong deliberately leaked the news to Liu Chuan and deliberately lost the city of Jizhou.

After hearing the news that he was going to Jizhou City, and seeing Zhou Zhong's surprised and alert expression, Chen Jing was more certain of this judgment. So he thought that he had to go to Jizhou City, maybe he could stop Zhou Zhong from having some crooked thoughts, and he forced Zhou Zhong to proceed with the previous plan.

Because the previous plan was almost tailor-made for Chen Jing. He needed a lot of blood and energy to replenish his body and reach a higher realm, and he could also use the war to cultivate a large number of ghosts to help him transfer the blood disaster.

So when Zhou Zhong wanted to change the plan, Chen Jing naturally would not agree.
