Destiny is ashes

Chapter 447 The True Devil’s Plan (23)

The warriors' voices were so loud that soon the whole city knew that the envoy of King De had arrived in Linjiang City. It was unknown what kind of tasks and responsibilities he would assign to City Lord An.

But inside the government office, the atmosphere was quite subtle.

"Is that so? The King of Germany is on him?"

If it weren't for Dixue and Chen Yinzi's reminder, An Jing probably really didn't know this. But now that it was confirmed, he saw some clues: "Good fellow, he's also possessed, right?"

An Jing didn't find it strange. Didn't he also have Chen Yinzi? They were all the same, and they all had spirits behind them: "Can the King of De see through you?"

[I planned it unintentionally. The ground formation of Linjiang City is incomplete. He can't find mine.]

Chen Yinzi said firmly: [He is a prince of the imperial court, with a large family and great wealth. He is not like us who often need to hide and do shameful things. He definitely does not have this kind of vision and experience.]

——You’re not that proud of this, right?

An Jing complained in his heart, and Fu Xie also came out to join in the fun: "Actually, they are a little different. There is only one person on him, but you have me in addition to your ancestor."

——That’s enough. If this goes on, I won’t be able to tell who to reply to!

An Jing was having an intense exchange with the ancestors who possessed him, while Zheng Mo on the side was still sighing: "And An Jing, you are really good at managing your subordinates. I never had such prestige in Kanming City. Maybe it was because I was not strong enough, and my subordinates were always disobedient."

He was about to say something, but suddenly his face turned serious, he coughed too obviously, and then started talking about business seriously: "An Jing, I came here this time to convey a notice from His Royal Highness Prince De."

——Here it comes, it’s on me!
Chen Yinzi, Fu Xie and An Jing thought at the same time, and Zheng Mo began to speak the formal announcement to An Jing in a tone as if reading a script.

It sounds complicated, but it’s actually very simple, just three things.

The first thing: Gu Yunzhi said that the reinforcements from Hanhai Prefecture in Dachen have arrived. They could have set off earlier, but they have been waiting for the eunuchs from the central government of Shenjing. Some people (King De) think that the eunuchs are deliberately delaying because of their slowness, and some people do not want An Jing to be able to defend Linjiang City for unknown reasons.

The second thing: According to reliable information from an unknown source (Prince De), this support army is indeed elite, and its commander is a young official from the Military Academy who is highly regarded by the Dezhou government. But just like all armies supervised by central envoys, the actual commander of this support army can only be that central eunuch. The other party's attitude is unclear, but at the very least, they will definitely forcibly take away An Jing's command when facing the Iron Cavalry.

The third thing: There are still unusual movements in the True Demon Cult. They did not give up after the failure of their plan at Broken Blade Mountain. According to reliable intelligence, there are signs of mobilization of the True Demon Cult in several surrounding states. When dealing with Tie Li, we must be careful of this group of true enemies of all spirits.

After saying this, Zheng Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

I have to say, these messages are very useful.

An Jing listened carefully from beginning to end and was still thinking about it until the end.

Regardless of whether there is internal struggle or not, Dachen's various policies in the northern border are now implemented very slowly, so An Jing has never considered the possibility that reinforcements will arrive early.

An Jing had long considered the subtle attitude that the eunuchs might have towards him as a result of their seizure of power - after all, in the eyes of others, he was still a Dachen man who had become a disciple of Chen Li, and now he was the city lord of Dachen. In this case, he seemed to need to do something to prove which side he was on, otherwise, who would be willing to let him have independent command when fighting against Chen Li's forces?
As for the True Demon Cult… "Now that I think about it, the True Demon Cult's experiments on 'man-made monsters' and 'monster control' at Broken Blade Mountain, in addition to transplanting human brains to control the monster Dashe that has been corrupted by demonic energy, are more about preparing for controlling 'demon metamorphosis', right?"

An Jing didn't think much about it at the time, but looking back now, he found many clues.

Although the giant viper corroded by demonic energy is brainless, it still has some self-awareness and is easily in conflict with the human brain that controls it. But if they were to make a fuss about the demon sheath that has been without wisdom and self from the beginning, as long as they found a better way to avoid demonic energy, then the True Demon Cult could control the mindless demon sheath that has the most extreme numerical stats and resilience, making it both powerful and intelligent.

Both the big snake monster and the half-dragon demon molt are snake dragons. Perhaps, the True Demon Cult's plan is to nest layers - wait for the big snake to advance to a dragon, and then use the body of the dragon monster to cover the skin of the half-dragon demon molt, and the human brain that controls the monster will be protected in layers, so it can burst out incredible power like driving a puppet!
"In this way, the True Demon Cult can obtain the Jiaolong Demonic Shedding that possesses the power of the Divine Treasure, which also contains the poisonous magic left by Shuo Yueying - the seal of Broken Blade Mountain will be corroded and collapsed, not to mention Fu Xie, the demonic energy support underground will also be unsealed."

Only An Jing thought so after the fact because he had already dealt with all these enemies. Otherwise, anyone who thought of this possibility would break out in a cold sweat and shout "demon disaster".

Of course, if all this was the True Demon Cult's plan, then the most successful scenario would be the fall of the New Moon Shadow Demon.

"That's pretty much it, anyway."

After Zheng Mo finished explaining the situation, he said righteously: "No matter which party attacks you, threatens you, or questions the legitimacy of your rule, you should not be afraid, because you are the Lord of Linjiang City appointed by His Royal Highness Prince De, do you understand!"

"I understand, I understand."

An Jing nodded. How could he not hear that Prince De was planning to use him as an agent to fight against the forces behind the scenes?

Especially Prince De didn't know who were the loyal ministers and who had ulterior motives in the entire northern border. Naturally, he needed wedges like An Jing to distinguish them.

After delivering the message from King De, Zheng Mo relaxed. He felt a little exhausted after completing his mission. "Hey, Brother An, I have to go to the earth veins to rest first."

"no problem."

An Jing could also see that Zheng Mo's current body of a ghost was quite fragile, mainly because he might be carrying a lot of things on him, so he personally took him to the underground vein.

After An Jing sent Zheng Mo into the underground vein, he made an excuse that he had something else to do and left the center. Zheng Mo was the only one left in the entire underground vein space.

After a while, Zheng Mo felt that his body was stable. After confirming that there was no one else in the entire earth vein center, he whispered to himself: "Your Highness, do you have any other instructions?"

【Um……】

A dark shadow faintly emerged from Zheng Mo's body. This divine thought slowly spread in the center of the earth veins, quietly and silently taking control of the earth veins of Linjiang City.

Not only that, along with a slight bell ringing, a small bright yellow bell slowly floated out of Zheng Mo's body and hung in the earth veins.
