"Can he confuse right and wrong with just one edict? It's not that easy!"

"Let those guys from the Buddhist sect stabilize their people and spread the truth, just to take this opportunity to undermine the authority of the emperor and destroy the incense of the Jiang family!"

Demon Sheep Lord gritted his teeth and said.

Spread the truth... The graceful woman with purple stripes feels that these two words seem a bit strange when put together.

But he quickly agreed and left with the young man in black robe.

However, just when they were about to counterattack, suddenly, traces of some top demonic forces appeared in various states.

These demonic forces raised their banners and ordered mountain spirits, river monsters and other demons to bypass border cities, sneak into the borders of various states, and attack cities where Buddhist disciples gathered.

"The Lord Buddha is dead, and Dayu is about to fall!"

"Your Buddha Lord has been killed by our Demon King, why don't you just surrender and capture him!"

"Kill, kill them all!"

These demon forces include the remnants of the Dragon Gate, the remnants of the Holy Palace, the Ancient Demon Palace, and the Xingyue Academy, which has extensive influence among demons and educates demons, comparable to Dayu's Imperial Palace.

The Xingyue Academy has always maintained neutrality among the demonic forces. Unlike the retreat in the Taixu Realm, the Xingyue Academy has never participated in disputes.

Yu broke out into war.

Among the invading demons, the leaders are all three great demons of the Immortal Realm. Among the top demon forces, their status is second only to the Demon King Elder.

They raised their flags and ordered the attack with great force.

As the cities were ravaged one after another, and as the demons attacked, the remarks that had been made by the senior Buddhist officials angrily accusing His Majesty of seeking favoritism and protecting others were instantly undermined.

Only an edict can win the trust of the world, but the demons raging in front of them have made many Buddhist disciples realize that their Buddha Lord was really killed by demons!

After all, those monsters are raising flags and shouting!

There's no reason why they don't believe it.

…

Youzhou, Xia family.

Secret reports came from many states and cities. In the meeting hall, Xia Linglong received reassurance from her father-in-law and had returned from the imperial palace.

At this moment, demons everywhere were making trouble, raising high banners, and seemed to be about to launch a general attack on Dayu, causing people everywhere to panic and panic.

"It was really the Demon King who took action?"

In the meeting hall, many Xia family members were surprised. They thought it was the young man who killed him, but they didn't expect that there was another hidden reason.

Xia Yuanwu and several other older generations had a hint of shock in their eyes.

The Xia family has done a lot of things for His Majesty. The old sister-in-law is good at taming demons and is a bit secretive. They have only heard some rumors and cannot disclose it.

But now... everything in front of them seems to have confirmed some of the rumors they had originally captured.

Xia Linglong was a little distracted. The reassurance that her father-in-law gave her earlier made her feel at ease, but the situation in front of her... Is this what His Majesty gave to General Haotian?

Her mind was in a trance, until the following discussion ended, someone asked how to send troops to deal with the demons that invaded the city where some Buddhist disciples gathered in Youzhou.

Xia Linglong came back to her senses, her mind was spinning rapidly, and she thought for a moment before saying:

"Now that the demons are making trouble, beware of other places. Let the city guards over there cooperate with the Buddhist disciples. You can lead troops to guard other cities and don't let the demons attack in the east."

Everyone was surprised and looked at Xia Linglong with some doubts.

Instead of aiding the city that was being invaded, they transferred their troops to other safe and sound cities to defend them?

This decision is a bit weird no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem like a hazy decision that Xia Linglong could describe.

"this……"

Some people hesitated and started to dispute again.

Before Xia Linglong could speak, Xia Yuanwu glared and said, "Didn't you hear clearly? You can do whatever the head of the family says. Do you know more or the head of the family knows more?"

Seeing that the older generation also said the same thing, those who had some doubts before suddenly fell silent, and immediately understood that there must be another reason.

After all, the information they saw was different from the information in the owner's hands.

And those who are generals know best how to master intelligence and seize the opportunity. Only decisions made based on intelligence are the most correct decisions. Otherwise, relying only on enthusiastic assistance may break the upper-level plan and ruin things.

They have been fighting for a long time and have heard of countless military cases, such as using thousands of soldiers as bait in desperate situations, counterattacking out of the city, etc., and finally achieving a complete victory.

There are always sacrifices in war. This kind of sacrifice is not only charging and trapping, but also luring, ambushes, dead soldiers, etc.

That's why there is a saying, the first requirement in the military is obedience!

There was no objection in the meeting hall. As everyone left to carry out the order, Xia Linglong also looked at each other and saw the thoughts in each other's eyes.

Xia Linglong didn't say anything, but went to the depths of Xia's house to meet the old lady living in the farmyard.

"Among the demons, there is indeed His Majesty's spy."

The old lady sitting in the rocking chair, with a wrinkled face, spoke surprisingly, and slowly told Xia Linglong this secret news.

She had intervened in this matter, but she did not violate the imperial order and did not disclose it to Xia Linglong, the current head of the family.

This is not because she can't trust Xia Linglong. The first reason is that this matter is a secret order given to her by the emperor himself, which cannot be spread outside, and she is unwilling to violate it secretly. The second reason is that Xia Linglong's knowledge of this matter will not benefit the Xia family, but only harm it.

.

Because when a person knows something, it is very difficult to pretend not to know, and the response made during long-term marching orders will always reveal flaws.

The third thing is that although she knows that there are demons that are under His Majesty’s control, she doesn’t know which ones they are, so it’s meaningless to tell them.

But now that His Majesty has taken the initiative to reveal his traces, Xia Linglong also guessed that she no longer had the need to conceal it.

Hearing what the old lady said, Xia Linglong was stunned, and then Qingcheng's beautiful face was filled with shock and horror.

It's actually true!

Your Majesty must have buried too deep a secret!

In this case, this attack was obviously organized by that majesty himself.

If this spreads out, many people's three views and cognitions will be destroyed.

The human emperor actually sent demons to attack the city...

"Now, Your Majesty has used all the secrets buried thousands of years ago for that child. You are really doting on him..."

The old lady shook her chair and sighed softly, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

Who in the whole world can receive such favor from that emperor?

I'm afraid that none of his brothers and princes have ever received such favor...

Xia Linglong was a little absent-minded and did not respond.

The old lady glanced at her and said softly: "Don't you think it's a little weird? When His Majesty summoned me to discuss this matter, I was as shocked as you are now, but soon, I admired His Majesty so much that I had nothing to say.

"

Xia Linglong stared at her.

The old lady continued: "Can all the demons in the world be killed? Obviously not. If the Dynasty of Dayu is a piece of fat meat, then there will always be flies eyeing it."

"But if this piece of meat is already surrounded by flies, will there be new flies joining in?"

"No more..."

Xia Linglong was stunned, feeling goosebumps rising up in waves, and the hairs all over her body stood up slightly.

Is this His Majesty's plan?

"Those demonic forces..." She opened her mouth slightly.

"If my guess is correct, there are basically His Majesty's secret agents who can grasp the movements of demons at all times. Your Majesty's plan is to let the secret agents directly replace the leader of the demons one day. If my guess is correct, then Xingyue Academy...

...It should be the most profound move His Majesty has made."

The old lady's eyes were filled with light and she said softly.

Xia Linglong felt her scalp numb. She had never thought that His Majesty was so terrifying.

"Since Your Majesty has such a secret, why hasn't Your Majesty never..."

Xia Linglong's thoughts turned and she opened her mouth slightly. If His Majesty used the intelligence of these secret agents, their casualties could be reduced a lot!

You know, there are powerful men from the five great divine generals' palaces here, and they have also fallen among them.

The old lady shook her head slightly and said: "It is precisely because of the heavy losses that these secrets were buried deep enough. I am afraid that the Lord Buddha never thought that His Majesty could be so cruel."

Xia Linglong was stunned.

"That Jiulang of the Li family, if he hadn't had a strong temper, hated evil, and broke out of the border alone, he would not have fallen. There were traces of His Majesty's influence on that time, but it's a pity..."

The old lady shook her head slowly. She always pays attention to these things, especially when she knows some inside information. If she observes again, she will see many traces that ordinary people cannot see.

"In other words, Lord Buddha was really killed by General Haotian, but Your Majesty... still prefers him, and now you are even willing to expose these thousand-year secrets for him?"

Xia Linglong felt a little unbelievable. What kind of preference should this have to lead to such action?

Killing the second most powerful man in the world, there was no suspicion or fear, but he did not hesitate to expose the hidden secrets that had been hidden for many years. Even the most favored prince in the dynasty would not get such favor!
