    Mowu Continental Country.  Demon Palace, Royal Palace.

    On the cold and wide Demon Emperor's throne, the aged Demon Emperor, holding the ivory and gemstone scepter which is the symbol of royal power, barely opened his dim eyes, and presided over the military and political meeting of the Mowu Kingdom.

    Below the throne, in the spacious Royal Palace, stood respectfully the two Princes of the Mowu Continent, His Royal Highness and the Second Highness, who were giving instructions to their father about domestic government affairs.

    After a lengthy two hours of "Zuan" and "Quasi" political discussions, the father and son were quite exhausted.  The Demon Emperor was piled on top of the throne, listless and drowsy.

    Finally, seeing that the time was almost up, His Royal Highness Minsi decided to get to the point.  He said respectfully: "Father, who is extremely wise and wise, according to reports from our spies placed in the Shengyuan Empire recently, the royal family of the Shengyuan Empire accidentally received an oracle from the Demon God of Light, ordering the Shengyuan Empire to take the initiative to attack.  I, the Mowu Continent, want to destroy our country in one fell swoop. Right now, the Shengyuan Empire is full of people's hearts and fighting spirit, and they are actively preparing for the war."

    His Royal Highness Charle also hurriedly said: "Yes, father, the elder brother is right. According to the reports from the spies of Tianque City, the Shenwu Legion of the Shengyuan Empire has carried out massive mobilization of troops, collection of food and grass, and equipment for the past month.  Equipment All these signs indicate that it is an indisputable fact that the Shengyuan Empire will attack our Mowu Continent."

    Such a shocking news did not attract too much attention from the emperor of the Mowu Kingdom and the father of the two Highnesses "Wise and Rui Sheng".  long.  After the two Highnesses finished speaking, they bowed expectantly and waited for the emperor's reaction.  The Demon Emperor didn't hear another voice for a long time. Fang realized that the two precious sons had finished speaking. He tried to open his dazed eyes, and said "Ah?" as if he had realized something, and then slowly lowered his head.  ,——It seems that the head is too heavy, and the neck is no longer able to bear it.

    The two Highnesses cursed inwardly: "Immortal!"——The Demon Emperor of their "Wise and Rui Sheng" has been half dead for three whole years, and every time it seems that he is about to die, but every time he seems to be on the verge of death.  The dead wood in spring, gradually softened, is dead but not solid.  This made the two His Highnesses who opened their eyes wide and stared at the throne feel as if their hearts were fried, and their days felt like years.

    Ten years ago, the Dark Demon God believed by the Mowu Continental Kingdom, the heir to the throne of the Mowu Continental Kingdom, and the Third Highness of the Mowu Continental Kingdom, Jijing, died in battle during the expedition to the Shengyuan Empire.  Hearing this news, the two His Highnesses, who had always been indifferent to their fathers and loved by dignitaries, almost went mad with displeasure.  They have always been excluded from the government and are depressed. Although they are named princes and each own a territory, they have always been unhappy.  As soon as Jing Jing died, the two His Royal Highnesses immediately asked the Demon Emperor to return to the capital, gearing up for government affairs, wantonly wooing various forces, crowding out dissidents, and keeping a close eye on the Demon Emperor's throne.

    The Demon Emperor seemed to be really old and faint, allowing the two Highnesses to act recklessly without any restraint or restraint.  Seeing that the Demon Emperor acquiesced to the actions of the two Highnesses, most of the aristocratic princes and powerful officials in the court were ready to move, either joining the camp of the Great Highness, or loyal to the Second Highness.  Over the past few years, the government has become two opposing camps, and the army of the Mowu Continental Kingdom, such as the Vulture and Tianlei among the five main armies, have been infiltrated by the forces of the two Highnesses, and they have placed all their subordinates.  To become the only private armed forces that are ordered by the two Highnesses—the two Highnesses are naturally not stupid, and they deeply understand "the truth that the army is equal to the government."

    Of course, in the Mowu Dynasty, there are still nearly half of the nobles and powerful ministers who remain neutral and obey His Majesty the Demon Emperor. After all, the current situation is unclear, and it is too risky to take refuge hastily. It is safer to obey the old man.  As for the army, except for the Vulture and Tianlei, the other three main armies are still firmly in the hands of the Demon Emperor; and other second- and third-rate armies such as the Xunbao, Canggou, and Jianbing dare not take the slightest step.  Have different ambitions.

    His Royal Highness knows that his current power is evenly matched with his precious brother, and even if the current power of the two is added together, it is not as powerful as the power held by the emperor.  Therefore, the royal father must be wooed——only by winning the favor of the royal father can the throne be easily grasped.  His Highness respectfully reminded in a low voice: "Father, wake up, shouldn't you also ask High Priest Pang Ma to pray to the King of Darkness and ask for an oracle?"

    The Demon Emperor finally "woke up" this time, and said in a hoarse voice: "I have already begged, the Dark God King sent an order, and God is with us. The military conspiracy of the Shengyuan Empire will definitely not succeed."

    The two Highnesses were immediately very excited, - with the oracle, we know that this war will definitely be won, so what are you afraid of?  His Royal Highness was the first to express his opinion: "Father, it has always been our Mowu Kingdom who took the initiative to invade the Shengyuan Empire. Now the Shengyuan Clown dares to overestimate his own strength and initiate a challenge."Unexpectedly, maybe the throne slipped through the fingers and fell on the dog's head of his biological brother.

    Not long after, the princess of the Demon Race——Jingluan who was rescued by Yunyi in the forest of monsters, slowly walked into the hall.  Yu Lian, who was her chief bodyguard, followed closely behind her.

    Jingluan's eyes shot out deep and full of emotion, she looked at her aged father on the throne with concern, her eyes turned red for a while, but she restrained herself, and said with a standard court etiquette, "Father, Jingluan is back  Now, are you in good health? If you and brother want to discuss political affairs, I'll go outside and wait for a while." Yu Lian also stroked his chest with his left hand, bowed in a knightly salute, but remained silent.  Back then, he was sent to serve as Princess Jingluan's personal bodyguard to protect the princess' safety. The Demon Emperor gave him a strict order to never leave the princess.  Up to now, Yu Lian has been unswervingly obeying.

    At this time, the Demon Emperor obviously regained his energy. He looked at his beloved daughter lovingly, nodded and said: "Okay, there is no need to be too polite, and there are no outsiders. Your two elder brothers and I have finished discussing political affairs, so there is no hindrance."

    Seeing Yu Lian at this time, the two Highnesses frowned, and their complexions became gloomy.  The 100,000 defeated troops redeemed by the money lost by the Mowu Kingdom ten years ago were brought back safely by Yu Lian, and he is still a senior officer in the army.  After the two Highnesses entered the government, they tried to reach into the army with their palms. They tried every means to win him over, but they were rejected by his ignorant and stern words.  The two Highnesses became angry with embarrassment, and because of Yulian's high prestige in the army, it would be very disadvantageous to control the army for them, so they regarded him as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the side, and tried every means to slander the Demon Emperor, demanding to investigate the crime of invading the Shengyuan Empire and humiliating the country.  .  Under the pressure, the Demon Emperor also felt that it was unjustifiable for such a big defeat without a high-ranking officer to take the blame.  Speaking of it, the deceased Jianjing was the only one who should be held accountable, but the Demon Emperor naturally couldn't bear to have his son humiliated after his death, so in the end he had to choose the innocent Yu Lian as the scapegoat.  So Yu Lian was inexplicably dismissed from all positions, deprived of all titles, confiscated all the land and property of the family, and was imprisoned.  The chief of staff of the Mowu Kingdom, the proud son of heaven, was loyal to the Mowu Kingdom, and he had only merit but no guilt.

    Yu Lian stayed in the prison for five full years, and he didn't know what the faint-hearted Demon Emperor had in mind. He only kept him under strict supervision and ordered no one to visit him, but he never sentenced him to death.  And five years ago, when Princess Jingluan practiced riding a horse, she stumbled and fell off the horse by accident.  The Demon Emperor, who regards Jingluan like his heart, realizes that he should find a guard with strong martial arts and vigilance for the princess to protect her at all times, and suddenly he thinks of Yulian.  The Demon Emperor immediately issued a decree to release Yu Lian from the prison and return him to his house, making him serve as the princess' bodyguard and protect her personally.  As a result, the majestic chief of staff of a country was finally reduced to a little jobless head of the bodyguard, and a little princess who was also jobless and powerless, holding a whip and falling into stirrups.

    The two Highnesses snorted coldly: "The defeated general still has the face to live. After so many years, why didn't he die?"

    Under the joy of the Demon Emperor, he didn't care about the two sons muttering secretly, and looked at his beloved daughter lovingly. Seeing that the beloved daughter's face was weathered and haggard, but her actions showed a calm, graceful and confident temperament. Obviously this time  The national tour is very rewarding.

    A year ago, the Demon Emperor gave his precious daughter a mission, which was to have her, accompanied by the head of the bodyguard, go around the entire Mowu Continent to inspect the customs and customs of various places, the living conditions of the people in the country, and to take charge of political affairs.  The management of officials.

    Of course, this trip was announced to the outside world as nothing more than a trip for the bored little princess.  Because the Demon Emperor had always doted on this little princess, the dignitaries in the court did not pay much attention to it.

    The Demon Emperor smiled with satisfaction: "Quickly, go see your two elder brothers?" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
