In Lingdou City, the once-destroyed Douling Empire Palace has been renovated. Although the area is not as large as before and the decoration is a bit worse, the main members of the royal family are almost dead now. In addition, Xue Lingxun intends to destroy the Douling Empire.

It has become a special federal country, so the expenditure on the palace is not much, which can be regarded as showing the current attitude of the royal family to the people of the empire.

In a neat and elegant main hall, all the civil and military officials of the Douling Empire gathered together. Next to the dragon chair above, Xu Sanshi was sitting there. Not far away from him was his mother Xue Lingxun.

At this time, the expressions of Xu Sanshi and Xue Lingxun were a little unnatural, but they were hidden well and not discovered by outsiders.

"Your Highness the Regent, Your Highness the Eldest Princess, I suggest that you immediately summon an army of soul masters to guard the cities around the Imperial Capital, and at the same time control the major passes to the Imperial Capital. Otherwise, when the rebels launch an attack, everything will be too late." Dou Ling

The Imperial Prime Minister said solemnly.

Although the Douling Empire is the worst country in the Douluo Continent, it still has everything it should have, such as the intelligence system. Now, in seven of the twelve provinces of the empire, officials loyal to the royal family have been killed. At the same time, there are also local

It is already obvious that the leader of a province disobeys the royal orders. I am afraid that several of these provinces have the intention of rebelling.

Just because there is no definite evidence, everything seems to be stable until today.

There are actually not many strong soul masters in the Dou Ling Empire, otherwise there would not be a Tianyang Douluo. A ninety-seventh level super Douluo would be the strongest existence.

This also means that most situations depend on a huge army, and the combined number of armies in these provinces is only 700-800,000. Even if you are more ruthless and recruit more, it can even exceed 100,000.

Ten thousand.

You know, the total population of Dou Ling Empire is only less than 30 million people.

In the past six months, Xu Sanshi's temperament has become much calmer, and there is no more jumping out of the past. He glanced at his mother, and finally after the other party nodded, he said in a deep voice: "Give me the order, starting immediately, the three major soul master groups in the empire, including the Royal

The soul mentor group guards Lingdou City, and the other two soul mentor groups guard Chunfeng Pass in the north of Lingdou City and Yumen Pass in the south of Lingdou City, and keep an eye on the movements within these provinces at all times."

"At the same time, inform the Duke of Mingguang of the Northwest Province and the Duke of Nanling of the Southern Spring Province to have each of them dedicate half of their border troops to be on standby at any time to assist the imperial capital."

"As ordered." All civil and military officials bowed their heads and shouted in unison.

Xu Sanshi frowned. The number of troops that can be directly controlled by the royal family now is 300,000. This amount is too small. If the lords of these provinces really rebel, once they gather together, the number will be that of the royal family.

Several times as much.

As for relying on powerful soul masters to suppress the formation and force these lords not to rebel, don't be ridiculous, you have strong soul masters, won't they prepare in advance?

According to the investigation conducted by Shrek Academy during this period, both the evil soul master and the Poseidon family were involved. This nature was no longer an internal rebellion within the empire, but an attempt by outsiders to seek power.

Later, Xu Sanshi watched, Xue Lingxun presided over, and discussed with several important officials of the empire, and finally decided on more things.

As the edicts were announced one after another, Lingdou City seemed to be lively for a while.

Two of the soul engineer groups were dispatched urgently and headed towards their respective destinations.

As for the 300,000 troops controlled by the royal family, they had been distributed long ago, and now there are only 50,000 left in Lingdou City.

Inside the Royal Study Room of the Imperial Palace.

A group of people sat together, including Yan Shaozhe, Elder Lin and the other two elders. Currently, Shrek Academy sent a lineup of three elders and one dean to the Dou Ling Empire.

On the Dou Ling Empire side, the five priests, mainly Xue Lingxun, also gathered together.

Outside the imperial study, Xu Sanshi glanced at the room where discussions were taking place, shook his head silently, turned and left. It had only been half a year, but he was already completely disgusted with these country-to-country political affairs. It was too troublesome.

It's just that the closer he gets to the war, the more uneasy he feels. He doesn't know how many people will die by then. As the regent, he can only do his best to reduce all losses.

As a prince, Xu Sanshi had completely unobstructed access in the palace. He soon came to a large back garden that was very suitable for practicing.

As soon as he entered, he heard a voice shouting, "Brother Ji, come on, whether we are handsome or stupid depends on your performance."

Xu Sanshi had a smile on his face and walked in quickly. Soon, in an open area, two people were fighting hard. The one flying in the air on the left was a very beautiful woman, but her whole body was covered in flames and explosions.

The person on the right has a handsome face, holding a black and white long sword, and has a fierce temperament all over his body.

But it seemed obvious that the man holding the sword couldn't defeat the woman covered in flames.

Beside the open area, there were quite a few people standing, including Beibei Tangya and others who had rushed back from Mingdu and were re-sent to the Douling Empire to garrison, as well as others who had been sent here earlier.

Huo Yuhao, Wang Donger, Caitou and Xiao Xiao.

"Qiang." With a loud phoenix cry, Ma Xiaotao's whole body turned into a ball of flame, and her hot breath splashed heat waves in the surrounding air. Her terrifying impact forced Ji Juechen to keep retreating, and he reluctantly used his sword to

He resisted, but in the end, Ji Juechen reluctantly gave in.

Ma Xiaotao's flames subsided, and her delicate body returned to its original position. Soon, Tang Ya and several other girls immediately surrounded her, laughing and joking.

As for the boys, they are a bit "sluggish". During this period of time, in addition to practicing, everyone also competes, but the key is that Ma Xiaotao is always the winner. There is no way, this guy's cultivation level is too high, eighty

With a level five level and extreme fire, who can beat it?

"Don't look at me. With her strength, among our group, I'm afraid only Aze can handle her." Ji Juechen put away the sword of judgment, came to Huo Yuhao and Beibei's side, and said calmly.

Beibei and He Caitou looked at each other and smiled helplessly. They had also challenged Ma Xiaotao to a duel before, and the result was obvious.

"I don't know if Brother Ze has returned to the academy. I heard from Dean Yan that Brother Ze has asked for leave from Mr. Mu." Huo Yuhao couldn't help but say after hearing Ji Juechen mention Qin Ze.

"Aze should also come to Dou Ling Empire in the future."

Suddenly, Xu Sanshi's voice intervened.

Beibei and others heard the news and moved away. Beibei said solemnly: "What did you say over there?"

The arrival of Xu Sanshi made everyone calm down and gather together, including the girls.

Due to the recent chaos in the Dou Ling Empire, Yan Shaozhe directly stopped the students from going out on patrol to avoid encountering powerful evil soul masters. Although Ma Xiaotao can single-handedly challenge Titled Douluo, other students are not yet able to do so.

The college is even currently prepared to send students back in advance if a war breaks out.

Xu Sanshi showed a trace of exhaustion on his brows and said in a deep voice: "If nothing unexpected happens, the war should be not far away. Most of the lords of those provinces are waiting for an opportunity. All we can do is to take precautions in advance.

"

"When I came, Mr. Su and the others were discussing with my mother and the worshipers."

Jiang Nannan noticed the fatigue between Xu Sanshi's brows, and there was a hint of distress on her pretty face. She immediately walked over and took the latter's big hand, "There must be a solution."

Xu Sanshi said with a soft smile, "I hope so."

"Didi."

Just when everyone looked solemn, suddenly, a clear beeping sound sounded, causing everyone to look at Ma Xiaotao collectively.

Ma Xiaotao was stunned for a moment, and then she took out a small communication soul guide. As soon as she opened it, a voice came out, and it was Yan Shaozhe's.

"Xiao Tao, A Ze and Yue Li have come to Ling Dou City. They are resting at the Jiubao Glazed Sect's stronghold in Ling Dou City. You can go and have a look."

After speaking, Yan Shaozhe quickly hung up the communication.

These words were heard by everyone, and everyone looked happy. Unexpectedly, Qin Ze and Di Yueli rushed over while they were still discussing.

"It's true that Cao Cao and Cao Cao will be here soon." Ma Xiaotao couldn't help laughing.

Beibei also had a smile on her face. They already knew the outcome of Qin Ze's interception and killing. They were also a little happy when they learned that Qin Ze had arrived. He immediately said: "Who wants to go to the Jiubao Glazed Sect stronghold?

Let’s go there together later.”

Needless to say, everyone was naturally happy to go there, except Su Tong, who possessed the Ice and Snow Girl's martial spirit.

"Su Tong, do you want to come together?" Ma Xiaotao invited cheerfully.

Su Tong smiled and said: "Then let's go together."

With unanimous agreement, everyone, led by Xu Sanshi, accelerated their pace and rushed towards the stronghold located in the north city of Lingdou City.

After walking through the streets and alleys for half an hour, they finally arrived in front of a five-story building covering a large area.

This is not a hotel, but the headquarters of the Jiubao Glazed Sect's chamber of commerce in the Dou Ling Empire. At a glance, it can be seen that there is a huge flow of people coming and going around the chamber of commerce.

But the people coming and going didn't pay attention to this group of young people, they were all busy doing their own things.

But not long after they entered the hall, before they had time to ask the staff, they saw a sofa. Qin Ze waved and looked at them. Opposite him was Di Yueli.

Everyone's eyes moved slightly and they walked over happily.

Di Yueli stood up, smiled and hugged several sisters.

"Brother Ze." Huo Yuhao was the first to call.

Qin Ze smiled and nodded, and said, "Let's go inside and chat. By the way, I have to tell you something."

Under the leadership of Qin Ze, everyone traveled smoothly and finally arrived at the conference room on the top floor of the building.

Everyone found a seat and sat down. Before everyone could reminisce about old times, Qin Ze spoke,

"Brother Xu just happened to be here too, so I'm going to talk about my visit to Dou Ling Empire this time and what I discovered along the way."

Qin Ze's expression was very serious, which made everyone sit upright immediately.

Qin Ze said: "When Yueli and I entered the Douling Empire, we first passed by a border city called Mingguang City. There, we encountered something. Mingguang City was closed. It was reported that it seemed that it was because of some

The whole family of an official who was loyal to the royal family was killed, and the city lord was furious and sealed the city."

"What?" Xu Sanshi exclaimed, and then his face changed. For some reason, he felt uneasy inside.

The rest of the people also quickly looked at Xu Sanshi.

Qin Ze said in a deep voice: "Brother Xu, the specific situation in Mingguang City may change. You need to be cautious. The most terrifying unknown situation at present is whether the northwest province where Mingguang City is located has also joined the rebels. This

But once a border soldier dies, the harm will be extremely great."

Xu Sanshi nodded with a cold face, "I will tell my mother when I get back later and let her make the decision."
