The Emperor of the Three Realms
chapter 95
Jiang Feng was completely dumbfounded. He knew that his son must have had a miraculous encounter. Otherwise, he would never have changed from someone who could not even pass the basic examination to someone who became a thorn for the Duke of Soaring Dragon.
“Chen’er, this.. This Sword Bird, they are all very obedient to you?” Jiang Feng felt a little out of breath.
“Dad, this is my trump card. With just one command from me, they will fight to the death at any time!”
The expression on Jiang Feng's face was very strange. He was excited by the miraculous change of his son, but at the same time also vaguely regretted the state of the universe and pitied the fate of mankind.
“Chen'er, these birds are bloodthirsty. If they moved towards the capital and only attacked the Duke of Soaring Dragon, it could be justified because his crimes more than deserved to be put to death. But if their anger goes unchecked, then the capital and its people will fall into misery and suffering.”
In the end, Jiang Feng was still a member of the Eastern Kingdom. He had always been kind-hearted, and even though he had a deep and eternal feud with the Duke of Soaring Dragon, but the thinking is still on the possibility of involving innocent citizens if this army of birds goes towards the capital.
“Dad, I have complete control over the Swordbird army. However, since father is worried about involving the citizens of the capital, your son can also lure the Soaring Dragon Family out of the capital first and then fight to the death.”
“It would be best if it could be done.” Jiang Feng was not a person who spoke empty words about kindness and virtue. “My Jiang family is having a blood feud with the Duke of Soaring Dragon, and none of us will rest while the others are still alive. If we don't seize this opportunity to root out the Long Family to its roots, we will only be plagued with trouble in the future! There will be no place for us to stand in the great Eastern Kingdom.”
“Daddy's words are very true. Although the sky is so vast, the great sons of my Jiang family may not have to find a foothold only in the Eastern Kingdom. Not to mention, it is not yet known whether this royal land still belongs to the Eastern clan after this war.” Jiang Chen laughed lightly.
“If it is not named Eastern, will it be named Long? This should be avoided at all costs.” Although Jiang Feng had given up all his hopes on Eastern Lu, yet he still preferred the Eastern family to continue controlling the kingdom if he had to choose. If the kingdom fell into the hands of the Long family, it would be a great disaster for the Jiang family.
“Daddy, why should it be named Long, not East? Have you ever thought about this, father, in order for the kingdom to bear my Jiang family? Why should this not be considered?” Jiang Chen's tone of voice was not committed.
“eh?” Jiang Feng s strong body trembled. “Chener, your words.”
“What are betrayals and bid’ah?” Jiang Chen chuckled. “Father, in the world of martial dao, the strong are respected. These Eastern Clans did nothing but snatch their land from others. It is said that everyone had a turn to sit in the emperor's seat, and this year it was my family's turn. Except, my Jiang family may not be interested in becoming an ordinary kingdom.”
Jiang Feng did not speak for very long. He had to say that his son's words were very reasonable and made him feel a little tempted.
As a duke, Jiang Feng was not a very loyal person. Instead, he had his own opinion on the political situation.
Therefore, Jiang Chen's words actually caused his heart to pound with excitement.
It was true, why couldn't the Jiang clan be a competitor?
Were the princes, marquises, generals, and ministers all born into their positions?
The Eastern family clan was immoral, so why was the Long family allowed to compete for their position and not the Jiang family?
Jiang Chen also knew that his old father was undergoing a fierce mental battle. But one thing was for sure, it was his old father who was tempted.
Who wouldn't want his name on the history page?
Which man does not want to achieve good deeds, open up new lands, and be hailed as king and ruler?
Who made the rule that the son of the Jiang family should not ascend the throne and sit as the ruler of a nation?
“Dad, this is 'Rare Jade Fruit'. If you eat it, it will definitely increase your workout one level.” Jiang Chen had received six Rare Jade Fruits from Mang Qi. He immediately ate three, and brought back the remaining three.
“Of course increase my training one level?” Jiang Feng was astonished.
“Mm. This was a spirit fruit that had absorbed the heaven and earth spirit energy. This is very rare, even a single sight is difficult to achieve in a hundred years.”
Jiang Feng really trusted his son, but, he couldn't help but ask, “Chen’er, wouldn't it be better if you eat this spirit fruit?”
“I've eaten it.” Jiang Chen smiled. “There is no point in eating too much.”
“Oh, then I won't refuse. Ha ha's. “Jiang Feng did not hesitate when he heard that his son had already eaten. He picked up the Rare Jade Fruit and ate it in two or three bites.
“Dad, you need a few days to practice after eating this fruit in order to break through. I will find a secluded spot in this part of the mountain valley and arrange a portion of the Sword Bird to take care of you!”
“Chener, where are you going?” Jiang Feng was curious.
“If Father doesn't allow me to bring in troops to make a big fuss in the capital, your son should at least go back and check it out. What if the Long clan did something evil by searching the entire city? I still have to look after the people there, right?”
Jiang Feng's heart stiffened, “True, right. Although the Hall of Healing had a solid foundation in the capital, yet they did not have any military power in their hands. If the Duke of Soaring Dragon was careful, even the Hall of Healing would become extremely passive.
Jiang Chen knew this very well and nodded, his gaze turning towards the northeast.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Jiang Han residence was to pull out Mang Qi's teeth and put it into the original qi, having Mang Qi send out an army of Sword Birds to await his orders.
Mang Qi was quite concerned about Jiang Chen's matter and immediately counted twenty Swordbirds divisions. Two to three million Swordbird set off in a huge streaming column. They arrived about half a day.
At this moment, the capital had been in chaos and confusion.
On the Duke of Soaring Dragon's side, the elite personal guards of dozens of dukes gathered in one place. An army of ten thousand elite soldiers had surrounded Jiang Han's palace, Jinshan's palace, and Hubing's palace.
All the houses in the streets and alleys of the capital have been closed and blocked by its doors. No one dared to set foot outside.
Not a single person was walking leisurely on the empty streets. All the shops had also closed their doors, deeply afraid of getting involved in this undeserved disaster.
Everyone knew that the capital had sunk into chaos, confusion, and chaos.
A ruthless and brutal fight for power will start exchanging blows.
Except, when a large army surrounded these three palaces, they discovered that this palace had long been abandoned and that not a single person could be found.
"What's? Escape?” Long Zhaofeng rose to his feet when he received the news.
“Not a single person was found in three castles!”
“Search, search all over the city! Several thousand people from three families could not have all vanished in one night.” There was a layer of ice on Long Zhaofeng's face.
His fists clenched tightly, so tightly that his knuckles creaked and cracked.
His current depth of hatred was unable to be swept away by the waters of three rivers and five oceans. He hated the Jiang clan even more than he hated the royal family!
He just wants to take power from the royal family.
But his hatred towards the Jiang clan came from the death of his son!
Long Yinye was his most proud son, Long Zhaofeng, and his most honorable heir.
Long Zhaofeng's eyes were filled with sorrow and hatred for the loss of a son. Unexpectedly he, the Duke of Soaring Dragon, had dominated his entire life. He is the one who always exterminates other family clans and he is the one who kills other families.
When was Long's family killed?
Therefore, not only was Long Zhaofeng angry, he was also furious! This was not a simple matter of revenge, but a bigger problem that was protecting the strength and dignity of the Long family, as well as making an example for others to see!
“Your Majesty, several thousand people from these three families are unlikely to go anywhere within one night. They must be hiding somewhere.”
“Yes, the city gate is closed, they also can not leave the city.”
“That may not be true. If they bribe the guards and get the royal order, it is not impossible that they leave in the darkness of the night!”
The strategists working for the Duke of Soaring Dragon all expressed their opinions.
Long Zhaofeng nodded slowly. “It's simple. Send people to inquire at all city gates. Our Long Family has connections at every city gate.”
The Duke of Soaring Dragon had planned a coup and thus would pay special attention to the guards of this city. He must have also put forth a lot of thought and effort to smuggle in a lot of spies and establish a lot of connections.
As he spoke, one of his confidants came in. “Your Majesty, your subordinates have investigated all the city gates. Absolutely no movement of people on a large scale last night!”
Long Zhaofeng was overjoyed. 'Then they must be inside the capital! Close the capital, dig three feet into the ground, and find them!”
He had good reason to take action, and under the banner of revenge against his son, he had less doubts.
If the royal family wanted to intervene, then he had reason to take revenge against his son.
If the royal family did not intervene, then he had fewer objections.
Right now, the entire army of the various dukes had been dispatched and were already heading towards the capital. Even if Eastern Lu wanted to hold a fight, Long Zhaofeng would not be afraid.
Inside the palace, Eastern Lu's skin faded and there were some dark circles under his eyes. Obviously he hasn't slept at all all night.
“Your Majesty, Jiang Han's palace, Jinshan's palace, and Hubing's palace are all empty. As if they disappeared overnight.”
"What's? They escaped?” Eastern Lu was also very surprised to hear this news.
The Jiang family has escaped? If this was the case, then the wishful thinking of making a profit without effort would not exist!
He bet on the Jiang family and the Long family to fight fiercely, and both sides suffered heavy losses so that his Eastern clan could profit from the middle!
“Your Majesty, the Soaring Dragon Duke has gathered the personal bodyguards of dozens of dukes under the banner of vengeance for Long Yinye, and is searching for Jiang family members throughout the capital. There is an atmosphere of fear and trepidation in the capital at the moment, and a commotion so terrifying that even dogs and chickens do not feel at peace.” The commander of the Tiandu army, Wei Tiandu, also had a very worried face.
“Your Majesty, intelligence is urgent! The dukes of the various regions had sent back the important news that the fifty to sixty small and large dukes had signs of deploying large numbers of troops in their territories, and they have already started their journey. Judging from the direction of the army, they headed straight for the capital!”
Internal intelligence reports came in endlessly like snowflakes.
Wei Tiandu was shocked. “Your Majesty, the Duke of Soaring Dragon has finally rebelled!”
Eastern Lu's body trembled slightly. “Fifty to sixty dukes? This Long Zhaofeng had actually lured many dukes to his side?”
Eastern Lu became very angry. He took out his rapier and cut the table in front of him in half with a wave of his hand. “Hal-things damned! My Eastern Clan has always treated them well, why are they all against me? Why did they all go and lick Long Zhaofeng's ass? Who is he, Long Zhaofeng, who deserves such treatment?”
“Your Majesty, your people feel that we should immediately send an emergency call to the dukes loyal to His Majesty and ask them to deploy troops quickly to help the king and protect the land!”
It was as if Eastern Lu had woken up from a dream when he hurriedly ordered the eunuchs to carry out his royal decree, summoning all the dukes to the palace to await his orders.
That said, Eastern Lu was too careless in understanding the situation as the king of a nation. He is too passive, and always plans and plans small things, but loses the bigger picture. When he was finally enlightened, the situation was already very unfavorable for him.
