Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 528: The collapse of the country’s plans

Zhao Suining's spear was broken, and the precious jade and golden roc were torn apart.

Finally, it was his turn, and Da Bao's sharp claws pierced into his body.

When the excruciating pain struck, it was already too late.

Then Chu Danqing received a notification from the amusement park.
-
[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 20000, Attribute Points +5]
-
[Your status: Unrivaled]

[Your status: Past Events of the Previous Dynasty]
-
[Trial Mission: Defeat the 'Nine Infants' before the Northern Shuo army breaches the Luye Pass of the Western Long Kingdom and force the Northern Shuo army to retreat]

[Trial Difficulty: SS Rank (Hell)]

[Trial Rewards: Return Qualification, Paradise Points x 30000, Attribute Point +6]

[Trial Failed: Paradise Points -60000, Random Attribute -3, Forced Return]
-
After completing the task, Chu Danqing first checked the two statuses, but then ignored the content and went straight to the notes.

One is to acquire a talent, and the other is to increase growth efficiency when the five-dimensional attributes are below 50 points.

The former is unclear, but the latter doubles in power with each additional state.

If Jiuying in the trial mission can also obtain a status, then as long as his martial appearance is formed, it will not be difficult to raise his five-dimensional attributes to 50 points before returning.

This is good news for Chu Danqing. Although it doesn't save resources, it does save time.

After Zhao Suining's death, Da Bao set his sights on Han Zhiyao.

Han Zhiyao wasn't the type to fight to the death, so he turned and ran.

Da Bao alone could kill Zhao Suining, and now with the addition of the Empress Dowager of Xilong, he has no chance of winning by himself.

But he needed to be able to leave before he could. The two of them worked together to attack, and Han Zhiyao died after less than twenty moves.

A Brilliant-grade treasure chest with shimmering patterns emerged from Han Zhiyao's corpse.

However, the shimmering patterns were quite dim, and after Da Bao brought them to Chu Danqing, Chu Danqing had to doubt whether this treasure chest could yield any special skills.

"Your Majesty, Commander, the situation outside is dire!" A heavily wounded guard rushed in, saying, "Please, Your Majesty, move out."

A cold glint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the Empress Dowager of Xilong.

If the other side dared to make a move, it's impossible that only two people came.

"A bunch of useless fools! How could they not even know that the enemy had infiltrated the imperial city and entered the hunting grounds?" After saying this, Empress Dowager Xilong set off to deal with the situation.

Chu Danqing then asked, "How many people are there?"

“There are about five hundred men, all of them elite,” the Hundred-Character Guard said. “The leaders are about twenty first-rate experts, and the rest are all second-rate experts.”

Hearing this, Chu Danqing was indeed somewhat surprised.

On second thought, this was a joint effort by Donglin and Beishuo, so it wasn't that much.

"Empress Dowager, are you confident? If not, I've sent someone to handle it," Chu Danqing asked.

Upon hearing this, Empress Dowager Xilong paused in her walk and immediately said with a smile, "Then I will trouble you, Master."

She wanted to see what other tricks Chu Danqing had up his sleeve.

Then Chu Danqing released the Heavenly General Xuan Nu and the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guard.

When Empress Dowager Xilong saw this scene, her heart sank.

Eighty-one heavy cavalrymen were nothing special in the Western Long Kingdom.

The problem is that these eighty-one people are at least top-tier experts, or even stronger.

How could someone be an ordinary person to be able to recruit such a powerful individual as a pawn?

Not to mention the Heavenly General and the Mysterious Maiden, whose strength is even greater.

Watching the Heavenly General Xuan Nu lead the Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guards to the hunting grounds to kill the enemy, Empress Dowager Xilong slowly said, "The Master has quite a lot of wealth, to the point that he can have heavy cavalry protecting him."

"They were all gifts from friends," Chu Danqing explained.

That's true. If it weren't for Guo Ming's help, he really wouldn't have been able to get the Nine-Child Ghost Mother Diagram and the Peace Ring.

Without these two pieces of equipment, there would be no Longevity Treasure Pattern Jade Ruyi as we know it today.

"Grandma, you have no idea how influential Brother Chu's friends are." Li Qingying spoke slowly and deliberately, her demeanor becoming exceptionally refined.

Having regained her status as a princess, she naturally had to maintain her refined demeanor, as her behavior represented the face of the nation.

Of course, we can't go on the same crazy fun as before.

This is called etiquette.

However, Chu Danqing didn't care about any of that.

As your rank increases, if your gifts don't carry extraordinary power, then after entering the pass, great Confucian scholars will naturally come to debate the classics for you.

"It seems the Master has many friends," Empress Dowager Xilong replied, then her gaze fell on Yu Wan'er's corpse.

Seeing this, she could only sigh and say, "Qingying, why are you being so cruel?"

In fact, Empress Dowager Xilong knew that Yu Wan'er was an imposter the moment she saw her for the first time.

Because Li Qingying never called her "Emperor Grandmother," she only called her "Grandma."

"Enough, enough," Empress Dowager Xilong ultimately didn't say.

Yu Wan'er's identity was not only something that could not be openly discussed, but also something that could not be brought into the light.

The original plan was to use this controversy over the real and fake princesses to get the emperor to take Yu Wan'er as his goddaughter and bestow upon her the title of princess.

After all, she's his own granddaughter; they're both his flesh and blood.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingying acted so swiftly and ruthlessly that her plans all fell through.

The reason this happened was naturally because Empress Dowager Xilong had not taken Li Qingying into consideration at all.

She didn't think Li Qingying would hinder the plan. By arranging a marriage, she could firstly clear Yu Wan'er's name, and secondly, turn the tables on her.

The Xilong royal family's real target was Yuwen He.

Therefore, when Yuwen He was carrying out his plan, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were also cooperating.

However, I never expected that Donglin and Beishuo would also take advantage of the situation to launch an attack.

As for Yuwen He's identity and goals, they were also aware of them.

They took corresponding countermeasures and put a collar on Yuwen He.

Unfortunately, the plan failed, and instead, it ruined the marriage proposal and caused the Xilong Kingdom to lose face.

The three chatted for about half an hour.

Covered in blood, the Pure Yang Demon Suppressing Heavenly General returned with a treasure chest, the Taiyin Guardian Xuan Nu, and a group of Nine Heavens Jade Pivot Guards.

The treasure chest was a dazzling chest, but it had no shimmering patterns.

Because this battle was similar to previous ones, it wasn't just them who contributed; the indigenous people also joined in.

After putting away both the treasure chest and the people, Chu Danqing said, "I received news that Yelü Qingyong, the Great King of the Southern Court of Beishuo, is leading his troops to Luye Pass."

The only person with such a martial appearance as Jiuying is Yelü Qingyong, the Southern King of Beishuo.

Such military prime ministers are rare, and Yelü Qingyong, as a member of the Northern Shuo royal family, is an anomaly.

He neither cultivated the Heavenly Wolf Howling at the Moon Scripture nor the Golden Eagle Chasing the Sun Scripture.

Instead, he cultivated the "Book of Calamities" which he had obtained by chance in his youth, and later used his exceptional martial arts talent to develop it into the "Northern Calamities Scripture".

Thus, the ferocious beast Jiuying Wuxiang was born.

"No wonder. No wonder." Empress Dowager Xilong said softly, "The more than five hundred experts who died were identified by the Hundred Ministers as people from the Eastern Lin Kingdom."

Empress Dowager Xilong did not ask Chu Danqing where the news came from, nor did she question its authenticity.

Given the strength of the other side, they must have their own intelligence channels.

As for lying to her, that's even more pointless.

"Donglin is beset by internal and external troubles. I suppose Beishuo used this as leverage to force Donglin to assassinate me."

"It has to be said that Donglin was really pushed to the brink by Beishuo, and even threw out the Third Prince and the Prince of Zhenyuan to save the king."

"But they failed at the last hurdle," Empress Dowager Xilong said with a light laugh. "I am grateful for the reminder from the Master."

"Yelü Qingyong is a powerful and ruthless general, and no ordinary person can defeat him."

"If Beishuo can unite with Donglin to take action, then Xilong can also form an alliance with Nanzhao."

"At that time, General Helian and Master Liaoyin will work together and will surely be able to kill Yelü Qingyong."

"Han Zhiyao died first in Beishuo. If Yelü Qingyong is also gone, hah..." Empress Dowager Xilong certainly knew what the outcome would be without a top expert in charge.

The original plan of Beishuo was to unite with Donglin to destroy Xilong.

After all, Donglin has already weakened. Doing this will not only further weaken Donglin, but also weaken Xilong at the same time.

If Beishuo can acquire territory, resources, and population, it will definitely be able to expand again in a short period of time.

Then, they used the same tactic again, coercing the weakened Donglin and Xilong to attack Nanzhao once more.

All you need to do is keep sucking blood and snowballing your gains. Even if you can't unify the world, you can weaken the Three Kingdoms, and then slowly take your chances.

"Your Majesty, we have breaking news!" A Hundred-Eyed Guard rushed over and said, "These thieves entered the Imperial City piecemeal, with some of their experts avoiding inspection."

"They entered the city through a warrant issued by someone impersonating the princess."

Empress Dowager Xilong understood immediately upon hearing this.

Yuwen He also got involved in this matter. The other party didn't need to do much; they just needed to provide some convenience.

If the plans of Beishuo and Donglin succeed, and Yuwen He truly becomes the imperial son-in-law, with the support of both countries, not only will he break free of his chains, but he might even usurp the throne.

"I know. Give this imposter princess's body a proper burial." In the end, Empress Dowager Xilong did not clear Yu Wan'er's name.

If it weren't for this enemy invasion, she would still have room to deal with it.

For now, we can only treat it as if we don't know the person.

As for feelings for Yu Wan'er, there were none at all; all he felt was guilt.

But now that you've brought troops to kill her, she's lost all her guilt.

"Yes, Your Majesty the Empress Dowager," the guard replied, then dragged the corpse away.

According to the Empress Dowager, it was simply a matter of finding a place to bury him.

There wasn't even a coffin; at most, a straw mat would suffice.

As for Yuwen He, the Third Prince, and the others, they were already a pile of minced meat, so dealing with them was actually simpler.

Just dig a hole, throw them all in, and then fill it with soil.

Yu Wan'er had a single room, while they stayed in a shared room.

"Empress Dowager, your plan is too complicated," Chu Danqing said. "Yelü Qingyong owes me a great opportunity, I'll go and get it back."

Empress Dowager Xilong was somewhat puzzled by these words.

But before she could speak, Li Qingying eagerly exclaimed, "I want to go too!"

These words disregarded even the princess's dignity, revealing an excited expression.

She had no other thoughts than to see Chu Danqing dominate the battlefield.
