200 The layout has been long and the secret guard Linglong
Hearing this, Ling Zhi still felt that it was a bit too risky.
His analysis and advice——
"There are a total of eighteen 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 little flame, there will be endless internal fighting. The only one worthy of vigilance 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 Cult.
At this time, there happened to be news from a spy.
Yan Wulu just asked him to read it directly.
The secret agent 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 must have been done by 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 but smile, and said -
"Now, our cooperation with the Demon Cult to seek the Western Region has begun."
…
…
For a long time, the Zhenbei Palace has actually been secretly making arrangements in various places.
In addition to Beidi, the Hedong area, Longxi area, Hexi Corridor, and Hetao areas all have the power of the northern secret guard 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 kingdom 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 plains of the North.
Therefore, he has long been interested in giving up the plain areas around Northland.
The old emperor asked General Yu Wenhu of Beizhu Kingdom to be stationed in Longxi, thinking that he could rely on the danger of 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, the most powerful and prestigious political power in the Longxi region, was secretly supported by Yan Dong.
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 great opportunity given by God.
By then, if successful, the original Northern Territory will be connected with the Western Territory...
Half of the world has fallen into the hands of the Zhenbei Army.
Even if we take another 10,000 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 Zhenbei Palace and go to the Western Regions.
He will lead the secret power of the 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 arduous 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 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 -
"His Royal Highness, I have someone to choose from."
"...This person is a unique genius in the Zhenbei secret guard system. He 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 like this, Yan Wulu's curiosity was aroused for a moment.
"I wonder who you are talking about?"
"Zhenbei Secret Guard No. 007 - Ling Long."
"exquisite?"
Yan Wulu said to himself when he heard the sound, "...it's a rather nice name. She must be a first-class beauty, right?"
"Well……"
Secret Agent Lingzhi was a little dazed. He calmed down and replied respectfully -
"Reporting to the crown prince, this person is my younger brother. His surname is Ling, which means dragon. 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."
"Yeah." Yan Wulu responded, then said directly: "Linglong should also be in Zhenbei Palace, let me see him."
"I obey my orders."
Ling Zhi bowed and saluted, stepped back a few steps, and then gave instructions to the secret guards outside.
The secret guard took the order and left.
Soon.
Then there was the sound of footsteps.
Yan Wulu frowned slightly when he heard the sound.
He remembered that the top Zhenbei secret guards around him, not to mention Zhang Chunhua, Yi Qiuyue, and the slightly powerful Zhenbei secret guards were all able to do it silently.
But the sound of this person's footsteps was so thick, just like an ordinary person's.
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 eucalyptus and looked down at the hall quietly.
The big man was about nine feet tall, with a white face and no beard, and he looked quite 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 they have received systematic training since childhood, and they are 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 secret guard.
But come to think of it, maybe a truly outstanding secret agent needs to 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 screened everyone away, even the secret agent Ling Zhi did not stay.
He gave Linglong 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 passed.
Detective Chief Ling Zhi has been waiting outside the main 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.
Secret agent Ling Zhi finally saw Ling Long coming out.
He stepped forward, intending to ask about the result, but who knew that Ling Long had already taken the first step without saying a word.
Secret Agent Lingzhi was confused...
His brother seemed not to care at all about such important matters.
Inside the main hall.
Yan Wulu now crossed his fingers and placed his elbows on the long eucalyptus. He was thinking about what Linglong had said before...
He talked a lot with Ling Long and raised some questions about the Western Region and the Zhenbei secret guards.
And the latter’s answer…
Yan Wulu was greatly 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 for a while whether he had made a mistake in his judgment.
"Let's wait and see."
Yan Wulu finally said this, which 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 deceiving his father, Yan Dong, while he is away.
However, so far, it's still pretty good.
As expected of my 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.
While standing behind Yan Wulu and rubbing his temples, she said -
"Your Majesty, you are already smart, and your talent in government decision-making is even more extraordinary. But now you are still so diligent in government affairs and do it yourself. How can the palace officials, state and county guards under you take the opportunity to take a break?
?”
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."
"Your Majesty 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 have been in 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 his administration in just a few days compare to his father's decades of political achievements?
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, as well as the candidate Secret Guard Ling Long highly recommended by the spy chief Ling Zhi.
"Linglong?"
While Zhang Chunhua gently pressed Yan Wulu's temples to relieve fatigue, he continued to speak -
"...Chunhua, as a member of the Zhenbei secret guards, he also knows a little about the secret guard No. 007 Linglong. Originally, he should have told the prince about it and used it as a basis for decision-making."
"...However, 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's status as a wife. He knew her inner desire for privilege and pampering, but he didn't pay attention to this.
"Chunhua, you have 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 uninhibited to be considered a competent town commander.
Northern Dark Guard."
"...If we arrange for Ling Long to go to the Western Region and take charge of this matter, I'm afraid the chances of success or failure are mixed and it's hard to guarantee."
Yan Wulu nodded slightly and agreed with Zhang Chunhua's statement.
He opened his mouth and said——
"Originally, Secret Agent Ling Zhi is a good candidate because he is steady and experienced. But after all, as the Chief of Secret Agents, the palace's huge secret guard system and the overall coordination of various regions cannot do without him."
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, it seems that you already have the most suitable candidate for this task."
"Exactly."
"Who is it?"
"Your Majesty, this person is far away in the sky, but 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.uu看书 www.uukanshu.com
"If the Crown Prince agrees, I, Chunhua, can also 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 curious and wanted to know.
But what does a rough guy like Ling Long 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 clothing! Hahaha."
"ha?"
Yan Wulu was shocked when he heard this, and he thought to himself - this Linglong is actually a boss dressed as a woman!
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, don't tell me, Crown Prince, Ling Long looks pretty good in women's clothing when dressed up and put on makeup, even better than his original appearance."
"...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 the words came to my mind, I changed my 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."
