"Why do you want to go to Demon Control City?" The old king took a sip of soup and looked at his daughter.
"The demonic army is coming. My daughter is also from the Piaoyun country and has some cultivation. Naturally, she has to go into battle to kill the enemy and contribute to the country!" Princess Yunshang said seriously.
"This time is no better than the last Heroes of the Four Kingdoms competition. This time the confrontation with the demonic army is a real fight to the death. It is too dangerous."
The old king shook his head and said: "Yunshang, you are not only the princess of Piaoyun Kingdom, but also the sole heir of Piaoyun Kingdom. If you have any shortcomings in front of the two armies, do you know what it means?"
"My child won't be reckless. I will take action when it's time to take action. When danger comes, my child will not act stupidly and fight to the death." Princess Yunshang replied.
"Your understanding of the Demonic Way is limited to the records in books. Do you know that with the strength of our Piaoyun Kingdom, it is impossible to withstand the attack of the Demonic Way's army?"
The old king smiled bitterly and said: "The demonic army is extremely ferocious, bloodthirsty and violent, and it is countless. In the past, every time they came from Heiyun Yang, they always drove straight in from the president, killing people and animals everywhere! Get close to the demonic way.
The four kingdoms were the first to bear the brunt, suffering looting and massacre again and again. The masters of the four kingdoms also suffered huge losses in the previous battles. Now, we are even more unable to resist the attacks from the devil."
"The devil is so powerful? But why have they never crossed the Demon City?" Princess Yunshang was a little surprised.
"Haha." The old king nodded and smiled, "It is easy for the demonic army to destroy the four kingdoms close to Heiyun Yang. However, every time the powerful Holy Dragon Empire will send an army to support, and time and time again in the Imperial Palace
The demon army was defeated near the demon city, so the demon army never crossed the demon city."
"So, it was actually the Holy Dragon Empire that defeated the demonic army time and time again, and it was not our Piaoyun Kingdom that relied on our own strength to defeat the enemy?" Princess Yunshang frowned.
"exactly!"
The old king nodded again and said: "Just for the sake of the kingdom's face, the book only said that the demonic army was repelled time and time again, but detailed the process."
"Then this time, will the Holy Dragon Empire have a large army coming to support?" Princess Yunshang asked with concern.
"The Holy Dragon Empire has a large army stationed at the border between our kingdom and the empire all year round. As long as there is an order, they will enter our Piaoyun Kingdom to help us resist the demonic army. After all, if our kingdom is destroyed, the demonic army will
It will threaten the territory of the Holy Dragon Empire."
The old king looked a little heavier and said: "However, this time there is no complete evidence to prove that the demonic army will attack the Demon City, and we have not found any trace of the demonic army, so how can we mobilize the holy dragon army?
After all, more than ten years ago, the demon army had just invaded, and no one thought that the demon army would have another dispute. The battle more than ten years ago caused heavy losses to the demon army."
"If this is the case, wouldn't our Piaoyun Kingdom be in danger?" Princess Yunshang was a little nervous.
"The country will not be subjugated, but the losses will definitely be greater than before, and this time the demonic army is very likely to cross the Demonic City, and should be able to kill the royal city. Once the Demonic City falls, the holy dragon army will definitely
We will be dispatched, and many strong men from the Holy Dragon Empire will come to support us when the time comes... Unfortunately, even if the country is not destroyed, I am afraid that our Piaoyun Kingdom will still be lying dead for thousands of miles, with rivers of blood flowing." The old king was worried.
typical.
"Then is there any way to get the Holy Dragon Army to come over in advance for support?" Princess Yunshang asked again, her face already a little pale. She knew that her father would not lie about such a thing to scare her.
"There is a way now. The third prince of the Holy Dragon Empire is in the royal city. If he is willing to come forward, he should be able to mobilize the Holy Dragon army." The old king replied.
"Then tell him about this and ask him for help!" Princess Yunshang said eagerly.
"There is something that my father has not yet had time to tell you. The third prince proposed marriage to me." The old king shook his head.
"Propose marriage!"
Princess Yunshang was surprised that her father only had one daughter, so naturally she was the one the third prince wanted to marry. She asked even more nervously: "Has your father agreed?"
The old king smiled lovingly and said: "Of course I didn't agree. After all, you are the only heir to our kingdom. If you marry far away, who will inherit the Piaoyun Kingdom?"
Princess Yunshang breathed a sigh of relief at first, then knitted her brows together again and said, "My father rejected the third prince's marriage proposal, so if I go to ask him again, I'm afraid he will never cooperate easily."
The old king sighed bitterly and said: "Yes, this is what worries my father the most. After all, it will be our Piaoyun Kingdom that will suffer at that time, and it will have little impact on the Holy Dragon Empire. If the third prince is unwilling to help, there is nothing we can do.
, and it’s hard for me to talk to him about this.”
"We should think on the bright side. He is the third prince of the Holy Dragon Empire, and he may be a broad-minded person." Princess Yunshang said.
"That's all I can hope for. No matter what, I will go see him tomorrow." The old king said helplessly.
"If he threatens you with this, saying that as long as my father agrees to his proposal of marriage, he will help us invite the Holy Dragon Army. How should your father respond?" Princess Yunshang asked worriedly.
"Then we can only leave it to fate. My father is also the king of a country, so how can he compromise easily?" the old king replied.
"Father, if only Yun Chang's happiness is sacrificed in exchange for the safety of millions of people in Piaoyun Kingdom, Yun Chang is willing to sacrifice." Princess Yun Chang said seriously.
"Do you like that third prince?" the old king asked.
Princess Yunshang shook her head and replied: "There is very little contact and no feeling at all."
The old king pondered for a moment and then asked: "Then you already have someone you like?"
At this moment, the shadow of Xing Nan appeared in Princess Yunshang's mind, and even she felt weird.
Seeing that his daughter seemed to be deep in thought, the old king did not ask any more questions, but said firmly: "My father is not a sage. In this world, you are my most precious treasure. For your happiness, my father will do anything."
, even if this kingdom is destroyed, my father will never put you in trouble or make you suffer! My father will never use your lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip in exchange for anything."
Princess Yunshang was extremely moved. She had long been very aware of how much her father loved her.
…
When the third prince of the Holy Dragon Empire arrived at Piaoyun Palace, he was naturally given the highest level of reception. Song Jin, Ling Bin and Lei Hao who came with him were arranged in the royal courtyard near Piaoyun Palace. There were countless servants.
The meals are delicious.
At this moment, in a small living room in the Royal Courtyard next to the palace, three strong young men from the Holy Dragon Empire were sitting together, drinking and talking.
The third prince was in a bad mood. After drinking two more drinks, his face turned red and he was obviously drunk.
"Actually, Your Highness, there is no need to be upset. Although King Piaoyun deliberately refused, he didn't say anything to death. Didn't he say that he would ask Princess Yunshang for an answer?" Lei Hao persuaded at the side.
"Haha, you were not present at the time. Even though he said that, it was actually a clear rejection. If he really wanted to agree to the marriage, he would not have said so many reasons for not wanting to marry his daughter at the same time... What are you talking about, Piaoyun royal family?
Ding Xibo, if Princess Yunshang marries far away, no one in their family will inherit the throne..."
The third prince responded with a wry smile, a depressed look on his face.
The three of them were silent for a while.
After pondering for a long time, Ling Bin suddenly said: "Today I saw the Piaoyun Palace was busy, so I stopped a palace deacon and found out from him that King Piaoyun had received a secret report, saying that the demonic army was about to attack.
Under the Demon City, if this really happens, for His Highness, this is a God-given opportunity!"
"oh?"
When the third prince heard this, the drunkenness in his eyes immediately dissipated, but then he returned to his original state and said: "More than ten years ago, the demonic army just invaded once. It should not have recovered its strength now, so how can it come again?"
"That's not necessarily true. I see that the Piaoyun royal family is so nervous. I'm afraid the information is correct." Ling Bin added.
"Even if the demonic army comes to kill me, what chance do they have for me?" The third prince was immersed in frustration and didn't think too much for a moment.
"Your Highness, please don't forget that in every previous battle with the demonic army, the real main force was indeed the army and strong men of our Holy Dragon Empire. In order to resist and frighten the demonic monks, our empire was at the border with Piaoyun Kingdom, but
A very powerful demon-suppressing army has been stationed. If Piaoyun Kingdom wants to block the invasion of the demonic army this time as it did in the past, it will also have to rely on the masters and demon-suppressing armies of our Holy Dragon Empire."
Ling Bin squinted his eyes and said: "But this time is different from usual. If the demonic army can directly attack the Demonic City, they will definitely be able to easily take down the Demonic City, and even attack the Piaoyun King City in one go. Unless it is to suppress the demon.
The army has been stationed near the Demon Control City in advance, and the Demon Suppressing Army cannot be mobilized at will, let alone the people of Piaoyun Kingdom, so if this happens, King Piaoyun will definitely come to ask for His Highness’ help!”
The third prince became more energetic again, and he answered: "You mean... you want me to blackmail you with this?"
"Not bad!" Ling Bin nodded.
"Nonsense!"
The third prince scolded and said sternly: "This matter is not a trivial matter. If I use this matter to seek personal gain, wouldn't it give the world an opportunity to laugh at me? Besides, I, Song Jin, have not reduced myself to blackmailing others.
To the point of marrying a wife, right?”
"Uh...yes, yes!" Ling Bin nodded repeatedly.
Lei Hao just frowned and said nothing.
"Even if he threatens her with this, King Piaoyun will not agree. As he said, if Princess Yunshang marries far away, no one in the Piaoyun Kingdom will inherit the throne. It is impossible for him to be willing to hand over his kingdom to another family.
, it is impossible for me to enter the Piaoyun Kingdom." The third prince said sadly.
"This is actually not a difficult problem. Now the demonic army is attacking. If the demon-suppressing army is dispatched a little later, the Piaoyun Kingdom will definitely be destroyed by the demonic army. By then, the kingdom will no longer exist, so why talk about it?
Succession to the throne?" Ling Bin said with a smile.
