Since there is no imperial palace in Fenghua City, the original city lord's palace became today's Songsi Imperial Palace after some minor renovations.
That day, many guards patrolling the palace of Fenghua Imperial City seemed to hear a shocking cry.
If you remember correctly, after the abolition of torture laws about three to five hundred years ago, there were rarely such tragic screams in the city.
If you remember well, the last time there was such a fierce cry was when a family was killing a pig at the gate of the city.
It is said that the pig that was killed was not an ordinary pig, but a pig king with extremely powerful vitality.
Ordinary knives are of no use at all. The white knife goes in and the red knife comes out. The red knife goes in and the red knife comes out again.
After repeating this process several times, the pig king was still alive.
But the screams that echoed through the sky shocked the whole city.
Listening to it now, today's scream seems to be no less than the scream of the Pig King back then.
Many people couldn't help but wonder while listening to the sound.
"Could it be that... someone killed the pig again?..."
Many people muttered a few words and then said nothing more and just continued patrolling silently.
However, after that day, many people discovered that the main force in the imperial court, the now powerful Prime Minister Wolong, had not appeared in the meeting hall for several days.
It is said that he is ill but it is very mysterious.
But without exception, everyone who went to visit was rejected...
Half a month later, Xia Yan walked outside the house and stretched. Su Yue was admiring flowers in the garden. She saw Xia Yan recover and came over with a smile.
"You've been resting for more than half a month, how do you feel?"
Xia Yan held his head and felt better, but his mood was not so comfortable.
Two cities, Minghai City and Xiangshan City, were captured one after another. There was no great difficulty and everything was done in one go.
Just last night, the system informed Xia Yan that the original mission had been completed, and Xia Yan obtained the secret book "Qi Dang Fist".
After looking at it in his mind for a while, Xia Yan found that his internal strength was enough to reach the second level and punch in all directions.
To Xia Yan, this seemed a bit painless.
After all, his current strength is no longer weak, and he has martial arts such as the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms at his disposal. It is already difficult to defeat him without seeking death.
What left him speechless was his new mission.
The system is obviously aware of its current situation, and its new mission is naturally to annex the entire Mingbo Empire.
The time limit is one hundred and eighty days.
A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This sentence is very suitable to be applied to the Mingbo Empire at this moment.
Although the four cities were taken away by Xia Yansheng, after all, its fundamental strength is still there, and it is still very confident when facing the Songsi Empire.
Naturally, Xia Yan was not surprised by this task, and naturally it would not cause any waves. What he was really afraid of was the reward of the task.
[Reward 1: Automatically upgrade "Dragon Elephant Technique" to the highest level]
[Reward 2: Obtain the divine weapon Chihong Divine Sword]
[Reward 3: Double the strength of the two dynasties of Daxia and Songsi (army, economy, population, equipment, etc.)]
[Punishment for failure: Weakening the strength of the Great Xia Dynasty in all aspects by a total of 1,000 points]
Xia Yan is not a fool. Haolai can still see clearly. If he really completes this task, he can say goodbye to the subjugated country directly.
Each of the three rewards is fatal.
How can I not know what "Dragon Elephant Technique" is? Now I know the mental formula but I don't have enough internal strength in my body.
The Dragon Elephant Technique, like most secret books, is divided into nine levels, and I am currently on the second level.
As long as the internal force in the body reaches a certain level, it can rise to the third level.
It's hard to imagine what would happen to you if you were to directly reach the tenth level?
Lingbo Weibu? The internal energy consumed by this thing is only the tip of the iceberg in the body, don't panic!
Eighteen Palms for Subduing the Dragon? Are ten speakers enough? If not, I will give you two hundred more.
Evil-dispelling sword manual? You can practice the second, third, fifth and eighth moves. Internal strength is not a problem!
Similarly, the second reward is not a good thing either. It is called the Divine Sword. It is not a good thing at first glance!
As for the third one, it is simply a life-threatening thing.
All the strength is doubled. Is this something that a human can do?
Not to mention anything else, he had more than 500,000 to 600,000 strong troops when he left Daxia.
A sudden doubling means that there may be 1.2 million troops in Daxia.
Which of the neighboring countries can handle such a large number of troops?
Then you have to chop them all down.
It is precisely because of this that Xia Yan understands that he must find a way to complete this task within one hundred and eighty days!
Looking at the bright sunshine, Xia Yan fell into deep thought.
Go directly into the court and tell everyone to postpone the attack?
This is obviously inappropriate, and regardless of whether it is a violation or not, even if the system defaults to it, it will be difficult to completely persuade these people.
After all, the original 99 restrictions of the system are still in my mind.
When the majority of ministers object, no decree can be imposed.
Since it's clear that you can't play tricks, then you do some tricks secretly?
But, what tricks can be done...
Suddenly, Xia Yan fell into deep thought. What if...he became an undercover agent by himself?...
Thinking of this, Xia Yan's heart moved.
This seems like a good idea.
Is it reasonable for an emperor who has just established a new regime to work as an undercover agent in a hostile regime?
After all, my original intention of becoming an undercover agent was to bring down their empire, so this cannot be considered a foul on my part!
As if he had made some kind of decision silently in his heart, Xia Yan's eyes shone brightly.
It’s decided, let’s do it!
So, Xia Yan gently touched Su Yue beside him and felt the faint fragrance on her body.
"Honey, if I leave for a while, will you miss me?"
Su Yue's eyes flickered slightly. After getting along with her for a period of time, she also knew that Xia Yan would often make some unexpected decisions.
When I heard what he said this time, I was mentally prepared and couldn't help but smile.
"You can do whatever you want, I can't control you~"
"Uh...it's just...even if I have to leave for three to five months, it doesn't matter?"
Hearing this, Su Yue's face showed a hint of surprise.
But she quickly hid it perfectly, and then she slowly leaned against Xia Yan and whispered.
"If you can arrange my daily meals after you leave, I will let you~~
I only have two requirements. First: you must be safe~
Second: Let me have something to eat every day. As long as these two requirements are met, I will do whatever you want~"
