Destiny is ashes

Chapter 448: Undercurrent (33)

It turns out that it wasn't just Zheng Mo who came, it was Prince De's idea to use all the power that Prince De could mobilize, including Zhong and Zheng Mo!
The thoughts of the King of De and the Kanming Bell were both suspended in the center of the earth vein. The dark thoughts were thoughtful: "Xiao Zheng, do you think An Jing discovered my existence?"

"Your Highness, I suppose not?"

Zheng Mo didn't know why the King of De would think this way. He thought hard but couldn't find any reason for himself to be exposed: "Although I may not have behaved well, I probably wouldn't have thought of this!"

"You are self-aware."

Prince De said unhappily, "Although I know that it may be more genuine to exchange pleasantries for a while, don't forget that you are my envoy. Ren Anjing is not a fool. When he sees your body as a ghost messenger and my identity as an envoy, he will know at the first moment that you are involved in the battle for the throne that concerns him."

"In that case, what you need to do is not to talk nonsense, but to tell him what I mean directly and let him know the danger he is in!"

How could Zheng Mo dare to say a word when the King of De gave him instructions? He nodded like pounding garlic, saying yes again and again.

In fact, Prince De was not that angry, because he was just a half-baked person, and his performance in the imperial court was not much better than Zheng Mo. It was just that it felt good to be lectured.

After having fun, it's time to get down to business. This time, King De brought the Kanming Bell here to secretly hide it in the Linjiang City's ground vein formation, to stabilize the Linjiang City's ground veins and prevent Linjiang City from being breached by the Iron Cavalry's method of breaking the ground veins.

In addition, if someone intends to do something through the underground veins and engages in conspiracy in Linjiang City, he can also remotely control the Kanming Bell to take action and teach those guys who want to make small moves a severe lesson!
Of course, An Jing must not know about this.

Prince De still hoped that An Jing could stir up some big movement on the surface. If he could take this opportunity to save An Jing's life and let An Jing be grateful, that would be great - after all, he only had a few people under his command. If he could get a divine genius like An Jing as his representative, many things would be much easier to handle in the future.

"Alas, if I had a divine genius like An Jing in my hands, why would I worry about the chaos in the northern border?"

However, the Kanming Bell, which was trying to integrate into the earth vein, suddenly rang in confusion, forcing the King of De, who was imagining the future, to wake up: "What's going on? What's the matter?"

Kan Mingzhong said he didn't know, as it had just begun to develop intelligence and didn't have the brain to analyze what the accident was.

The downside is that he has few subordinates and they don't have much brains. He has to do everything himself. Prince De can only lean over and observe: "Let me see... eh? Wait..."

Seeing this, King De was slightly stunned, and then he was astonished: "There are actually magical weapons in the earth veins?"

In his perception, the civil and military formation plate slowly turned. Although it was not as powerful as a divine weapon, its status was equal. It could also utilize the earth veins to control the formation!
Prince De was thinking seriously: "What is this array? It is obviously not in the Great Chen Divine Weapon Chart, why can it be combined with the earth veins? Moreover, this aura..."

"Is it dragon energy?!"

Perhaps because he was just an ordinary royal blood before becoming the Prince of Zhen, Prince De suddenly felt a headache: "What on earth is this? Stealing earth veins and secretly condensing dragon energy is a serious crime of treason!"

"Did An Jing do it? No, it was done by those people from the Linlang Chamber of Commerce and the court before An Jing did it... Damn it, they are so bold that they didn't send anyone to deal with it?"

Although his previous performance was mediocre, Prince De could still be chosen by the imperial court to be the prince of the city. He was just lazy. He quickly figured out the cause and effect.

After Dachen and the Five Sects of Chenli signed a contract and determined the area of ​​battle, Beijiang used the excuse of "the disappearance of Tianwu" to take away all the magic weapons and leave the earth veins vacant.

Against this backdrop, there was a force in the court that took advantage of the vacancy of the divine weapons in various places to place similar civil and military formations in various places, and conducted various experiments on utilizing the earth veins and condensing dragon energy.

This kind of experiment is definitely not limited to Linjiang City. All cities in the entire northern border that meet the requirements will probably have similar actions to prevent the energy of the earth veins and sea of ​​​​sky from being wasted during this period.

An Jing happened to defeat the Linlang Chamber of Commerce in Linjiang City and obtained the Wenwu Formation Plate, but An Jing did not understand (most people including King De did not understand) the earth veins, the Wenwu Formation Plate and the dragon energy. Ordinary people could not even sense them, so he thought they were things that originally existed in the earth vein formation and left them where they were.

No...An Jing might be able to understand the abnormality of these things.

Prince De suddenly remembered that An Jing had once entered the center of the earth veins to visit the magical weapons, and enlightened and inspired the Kanming Bell, allowing it to advance, so he was not completely ignorant of the magical weapons and earth veins.

He should have also discovered the Wenwu Formation Plate and knew that something might be wrong with it, but he didn't know what it was used for or what impact it had.

Perhaps An Jing also realized that himself, or something representing his consciousness, was in Zheng Mo, so he went with the flow.

"So, An Jing deliberately resigned to let Zheng Mo, or rather, let me, discover this?" Prince De whispered to himself, "This makes sense. The only thing I don't understand is why the group of people who created the civil and military formations didn't send people to destroy the civil and military formations after An Jing defeated the Linlang Chamber of Commerce."

Actually this is understandable.

First of all, there are very few people who can understand the function of the Wenwu Formation Plate, and those who can sense the dragon energy are only the dragon-blooded strongmen who have achieved some success, as well as the members of the Imperial Court. An Jing defeated the Linlang Chamber of Commerce, but he might not be able to discover that there was something wrong with the Wenwu Formation Plate. Even if he did, he would not be able to detect the dragon energy.

If we rashly send people over to sabotage it, it is very likely to alert the enemy and allow An Jing to discover it in advance.

And most importantly, even if they found out, who would investigate? If it wasn't for me, the King of Zhen, who found out and reported it to the prefecture or the governor of Daoyu, would they handle the matter correctly and report it to Shenjing?

Will not……

"Besides that, there are other town kings involved - ha, the two elder brothers of Northwest King Cheng and King Su, they must be in cahoots with them! Their agreement with the Five Sects of Chenli is the main reason for the situation in the Northern Frontier!"

Prince De was reassured. He realized that the force he was facing might be bigger than he had imagined, and the inside story was as deep as the sea.

He sighed and felt a splitting headache: "I am just a temporary town king...Brother Guangyun, what a mess you left behind!"

After having a headache, Prince De actually figured it out. If the secret forces within the Dachen Dynasty really wanted to deal with the civil and military formations, then the best opportunity would not be at any other time... it would be after this!
The [reinforcements] that followed, and the [eunuchs] who took command!
Outside the center of the earth veins.

"I hope Prince De can figure out these key points."

An Jing said to Fu Xie in his heart: "Although I don't know what his ability is, I heard that he was an idle prince before, but since he was chosen as the town prince, he must be quite capable."

"What if he didn't find out? Or if he found out but pretended not to know and wanted to play dead?" Fu Xie said, and An Jing smiled: "Then I have plenty of opportunities to make him face it - for example, I will find an opportunity to fight with the martial vein masters of the Iron Cavalry, pretend to be defeated by some of my strength, and then call on the civil and military formation plate for blessing."

"In this case, all parties can no longer pretend to be ignorant, they must take action."

"You are quite mean, and you are not afraid of danger. If you do this, a big hand might appear from the air and slap you to death." Fu Xie commented, but An Jing didn't care: "Now I have the ancestor Chen Yinzi with me, and His Royal Highness Prince De next door, and even Gu Yunzhi's clone's consciousness is lurking in the city. It seems dangerous, but in fact, our forces are also very complete."

"If I don't take risks now, when will I take risks?"

At this point, An Jing's expression was firm: "The conspiracy between these bigwigs can't affect me now... My power is not strong enough, I can only serve as an agent and pawn in their struggle."

"But even so, I can still influence the situation... As long as I can defeat the Iron Cavalry and deal with the officials in the Divine Capital who may have ulterior motives, my development in the Northern Frontier will be very bright."

"Even if I go to study abroad in the Chen Liming Mirror Sect and have to leave my family behind in Dachen, King De will protect my mother for me, allowing me to rule Linjiang City from afar and leaving me with a trace of fate."

"The premise is that you can win, defeat the Iron Cavalry and others."

Fu Xie laughed when he said this: "It's what you are most familiar with, isn't it?"

"Ah."

An Jing agreed, he smiled, called out Teng Shuangbai, and prepared to go to Suling Cave to practice: "I can't guarantee other things... but if it's a battle."

"I am confident that I will never lose."

Soon, a few days later, two major events happened almost simultaneously.

First, in the early morning, the military armor promised by Gu Yunzhi and the Sons of Disaster team led by Cang Linzu arrived in Linjiang City.

Second, reinforcements from the provincial government also arrived at the vicinity of Broken Blade Mountain in the afternoon of the same day.
