Chapter 299 Burning books and trapping envoys
A heavy atmosphere began to brew.
Big beads of sweat began to drip to the ground. It realized that competing with these three human boys on their eloquence was just asking for death. Their lies could be made true, and even their dead ones could be told the truth. Said to be alive.
Mr. Yao turned directly to Demon King Kuihu. He believed that Demon King Kuihu would be inclined to him after many years of relationship between the king and his subjects.
"Your Majesty, these three foreigners are full of absurd words, sophistry, instigation and provocation, and are causing trouble over nothing. They are really hateful!"
"I have been following the king for hundreds of years, and my loyalty and courage are a lesson to the world. Today I am being criticized by them together. Please ask the king to uphold justice for me!"
"When it comes to military use, I have fought more battles than they have read. Talking about military affairs on paper is misleading!"
……
Demon King Kuihu listened quietly to Mr. Nong's confession, and showed no partiality as expected.
Because Mr. Yao didn't know that in the days when it was absent, the three of Lin Shan showed unparalleled abilities, whether it was the previous guidance, or Xuanwu's turning the tide by rejecting the corpse pit, or the later opportunity to predict the enemy, they had obtained He gained enough trust from Demon King Kuihu.
In its eyes, there is no harm without contrast.
Although Mr. Yao was quite decent, he was too mediocre. Compared with these three energetic young people, he was far behind. Lin Shan even saved the life of Demon King Kuihu, so his weight in his heart increased sharply.
Likewise, Demon King Kuihu had some complaints against him because of the late rescue, heavy losses, and the destruction of the Flying Bear Army.
In the past, there was only one Mr. Yao who could serve as a consultant, so the Demon King Kuihu had no one to rely on, so he could only rely on him. He had long been dissatisfied with his slow and steady approach of relying on his elders.
Now that three new strategists have been added to the account, giving Demon King Kuihu more choices, Mr. Ao is naturally no longer irreplaceable, and his previous reliance has quietly collapsed invisibly.
However, Demon King Kuihu took into account the years of friendship and did not directly accuse him. He still planned to talk some sense into it first.
"Mr. Yan, I ask you, why did you wait half an hour to come?"
Demon King Kui Hu directly stated what he was most unhappy about. One of his subordinates dared to let him go. He had been fighting hard for so long without a trace. Did he take this demon king seriously?
In the eyes of those in power, prestige is more important than anything else.
This is the foundation of imperial rule.
Today there are people who listen to the instructions but don't listen to the announcement. If I can't deal with it in time, then tomorrow there will be more people who violate me in both ways. This is something Demon King Kuihu will never tolerate.
It must have a reasonable explanation!
However, Mr. Yao felt that he had done nothing wrong at all. He had waited at the predetermined location for so long, waiting left and right for no one to come. On the contrary, Demon King Kuihu took action in advance, ruining his plan of attacking from both sides at the first opportunity.
You couldn't help but rush away, so why did you blame me?
"Your Majesty, I clearly laid an ambush at the scheduled time and place, but you couldn't help but attack first, which resulted in the failure of this battle. How innocent I am!"
Mr. Yan has a red face and a thick neck, and he argues hard and is straightforward and frank.
In general, most loyal ministers who dare to speak out and remonstrate have this virtue.
However, the good advice was off-putting. Demon King Kuihu couldn't help but feel angry. He slapped the armrest hard.
"Crack!"
The armrest of the throne was directly smashed. Demon King Kuihu stood up and pointed at Mr. Yan. All the pots of fire in the tent were burning and dancing wildly, and the demons felt the pressure increase sharply.
"So, it's all my fault?"
Mr. Yan stood up straight and stiffened his neck and replied.
"I don't dare!"
He said he didn't dare, but his body was very honest and clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with Demon King Kuihu.
"伱"
Demon King Kui Hu pointed at it, his eyes filled with evil intent for a moment, and the tiger's power spread around it, condensing but not emitting, it was a bit difficult to get off the tiger.
Mr. Yao has always been his only think tank. He needs to rely on it for everything, but that doesn’t mean he can contradict him at will. He must have been too kind to him over the past few hundred years and respected him in everything, making him forget about him. identity!
Wasn’t everything it has today given to it by itself?
If you can give it, you can naturally take it back!
Why are you so arrogant in front of this king?
Just because you have some talent in your belly and learn ink, you can show off your so-called arrogance as a scholar and your scholarly spirit. How can you go against me?
Demon King Kuihu obviously held too much grudges, and he had tolerated the virtues of Mr. Yao, a poor old scholar, for too long.
At this time, the young master Jiuyou under the tent started assisting.
He actually turned over his hand and took out a picture stone, and activated it on the spot without saying anything.
The projection appeared in the open space, and it could be clearly seen inside. It should be that in the Jingqi Forest last night, Mr. Nong had just been breached by the military formation. He retreated to both sides of the forest to repair, and spoke to the passing young master Jiuyou.
A snippet of the conversation between the two was transmitted.
【.Isn’t this Mr. Dajun Shiyan? 】
[I, Cavemaster Wei, have just fought tooth and nail to defend themselves against the enemy, buying you some time to kill the enemy’s elite troops and serve the king in a somewhat embarrassing manner]
[If you can ambush according to the established plan, the result will be far from what it is now. After this battle, the Yuanlu Demon King will be seriously injured, but the king also suffered heavy losses. Even the Flying Bear Army was almost destroyed by you.]
[The rights and wrongs of Cave Master Wei are open to debate. It was obviously the king who took action in advance and did not launch the general attack according to the established plan, which caused me to be late. I have always adhered to my promise and came here specially to support.]
[Oh, that’s it. So it’s the king’s fault? 】
The conversation stopped abruptly, and the shadow stone stopped projecting.
"Boom~"
A violent demonic energy came and raged directly in the king's tent, making the generals stagger around and unable to sit still.
Demon King Kuihu glared angrily, but he didn't expect that before he could punish him, Mr. Yao actually dared to beat him up!
Does it really think that its wings are hard and I can't live without it? !
"Mr. Yan, is this what you said?"
Mr. Yan was stunned. He didn't expect that Young Master Jiuyou, a little scumbag, actually had audio and video recordings. When did he use the recording stone? Why didn't I see it?
But at this time, it knew that it could not quibble. Whether the image stone was real or fake could not be concealed from the generals present, so it had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Your Majesty, the old minister said it, but..."
Before it could finish speaking, Demon King Kuihu shouted loudly and waved his hand.
"Asshole!"
A green and black bolt hit it like lightning, and it had no time to react.
"Bang!"
Mr. Yao's rickety body was knocked out of the tent like a sandbag. You could see through the door screen that it rolled around for more than ten times before stopping.
"Ahem."
Lao Ao coughed up blood in disbelief. It was unimaginable that Demon King Kui Hu would attack him directly in front of all the generals.
It was obviously Demon King Kuihu's fault that it was fulfilling its duties faithfully, so why should he take his anger out on himself?
As a demon king in the Nascent Soul stage, doesn’t he even have this kind of magnanimity?
In fact, it really misunderstood Demon King Kuihu. Demon King Kuihu didn't want to shirk the blame, but was angry that Mr. Nong was letting him go, talking about him behind others' backs, pointing fingers, and wanting to blame the boss!
For a subordinate like this among the demon clan, it would be fine if he was not killed on the spot. Demon King Kui Hu was still thinking of his old friendship and did not act too harshly. Otherwise, it would definitely not be able to block Nascent Soul's late-stage hateful blow.
The three Lin Shan brothers saw this scene in the tent and secretly regretted it.
Mr. Yao had lost his mind at this time. It felt that it had been greatly wronged. Not only was it not understood, but it was also beaten on the spot. In front of so many demon generals and even many little demons outside the tent saw it. How can it have the dignity to lead troops in the future?
Climbing into the king's tent in two or three steps, Mr. Yan's eyes turned red.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
"I have been working hard for hundreds of years, assisting the king with all my heart, and I have never slacked off. Why do you do this to me!"
"In the past, you frequently plotted against the world and spent hundreds of years to open up the hearts of old ministers. How can you just ignore the old feelings and act recklessly for your own mistakes?"
These words were spoken so loudly that they could be heard outside the tent and could be heard by the entire camp. The little demon patrolling outside couldn't help but glance over here.
Mr. Nong has a clear conscience, naturally has a loud voice and speaks righteously.
Demon King Kuihu was still a little bit intolerant at first, thinking that he had hit him a little too hard, but as a result, this old man refused to admit his mistake and even dared to talk back to him, so his temper grew.
I couldn't help but sneered: "Oh? So, you still think it's my fault?"
Mr. Yan stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and straightened his pride.
"This is natural. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. In ancient times, the emperor broke trust with the people and issued a special edict to punish himself. The people petitioned to return the government to the prince."
"Today, Venerable Zuowu kneels down in front of a group of demons. The Swallowing Star Mountain Range is in pain and blames himself. The demon clan has declined and is blamed on himself."
"Your Majesty knows you have made a mistake but does not correct it. He makes a mistake when it is wrong. Instead, he blames all the mistakes. Aren't you afraid of disappointing his subordinates?"
"If the emperor regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a fellow countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit!"
< br>
"Presumptuous!"
Demon King Kuihu is really angry this time!
As the overlord of the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Territory, the palm of the hand dominates the government and the opposition. No demon clan has dared to talk to it like this for a long, long time.
The Demon King is majestic and cannot be challenged!
"From now on, I am passing on this king's order to deprive Nong Kuan of his position as military advisor. His demon soldiers will take back the king's cave and be reduced to military counselor. If he does not wake up, he will not regain his military power!"
The rumble of its sound spread throughout the camp, and all demons, big and small, could hear it.
At this point, Demon King Kuihu actually acted more or less morally and did not completely knock Mr. Ao down, leaving him room to rise back up in the future.
It's just that Mr. Yan has gone completely crazy. He has worked diligently for hundreds of years, but he returned to before liberation?
It screamed loudly and acted crazy.
"I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced!"
"I have done nothing wrong, why should I be deposed!"
"Your Majesty, if you don't make it clear today, the whole army will not obey you, and you will lose your demonic heart!"
Demon King Kuihu saw that the situation was getting serious and knew that Mr. Yao had been following him for many years and had a high prestige in the army. If it was not handled well, it would indeed affect the morale of the army.
"Okay, then I will ask you!"
"Where were you at midnight last night, and why are you nowhere to be seen?"
"You will be punished if you delay the military mission. I am already showing mercy by not killing you. How can you be sophistical?"
Mr. Yi doesn’t know why:
"Last night at midnight, the veteran led his army at the exit of Jingqi Forest. There was no need to delay the military plane."
Demon King Kuihu shed tears when he saw that it did not see the coffin, and he was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke.
"Still pretending to be stupid, I clearly sent an order one day in advance, ordering you to ambush at the entrance of Jingqi Forest, why did you just march to the exit? Are you not delaying the military plane?"
Mr. Yan was dumbfounded:
"Didn't they ambush you at the exit of Jingqi Forest at three o'clock in the morning? Why did you change it in the morning and evening!"
When Demon King Kuihu heard this, Lao Nong dared to change his orders from morning to night, and he almost flipped the table.
"I have given an order, and I have kept my word. When has an order ever been changed at night? You are obviously late in leading the army, but you still dare to blame it on military orders?"
Mr. Yan quickly explained: "It is indeed written in the military order that I should ambush at the exit of Jingqi Forest at three o'clock. That's right."
Demon King Kuihu said in a serious tone: "Where are the military orders?"
Mr. Yan hurriedly dug around his body, searching all over his body but could not find the military order. In a hurry, he suddenly remembered that when the military order letter was handed to him, it seemed to burn after reading it. At that time, he was still wondering about this. Is it for confidentiality?
In the royal tent, all eyes were staring at it, like thorns on the back.
Mr. Yan replied bravely: "Your Majesty, the military order letter will be burned after reading it, and it no longer exists"
Demon King Kuihu smiled coldly: "Mr. Yan is very thoughtful and even knows how to destroy evidence, but do you think it's useful to cover your ears and steal the bell like this?"
Mr. Yan waved his hand quickly: "No, Your Majesty, the letter ignited spontaneously, I did not burn it!"
"Fart!"
Demon King Kuihu couldn't help but curse.
"The order letters in our army are all made of Du Heng grass and gray ancient rhinoceros skin. They are invulnerable to invulnerability, water and fire. How can they spontaneously combust? This is simply nonsense!"
Mr. Yan looked panicked: "But... it is indeed the case. Otherwise, why don't you ask the messenger to come over and confront you on the spot!"
Demon King Kuihu immediately ordered: "Bring the messenger here!"
After a while, the report will be made.
The messenger is General Xiong's subordinate Huang Xili. He was sent to deliver a letter to Mr. Nong earlier but never returned.
Next, I checked the demon soul lamp and found out that the messenger was dead.
As for when it died, it was just a messenger after all, and no one deliberately stared at its soul lamp all day long, so no one knew.
At this time, Mr. Yan was unable to argue and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"This, this, is not."
Demon King Kuihu had a sullen face, feeling as if he was being played.
"Okay, Mr. Nong, you are really thoughtful. Did you expect today in advance, so you first burned the military order and then killed the messenger, just to silence me and kill me without any evidence!"
< br>
"Poof!"
Mr. Yao felt the sign of the coming storm and immediately knelt down. He could feel the wrath of Demon King Kuihu.
"Your Majesty, this is definitely not what I did. Someone must want to frame me. Your Majesty, Mingjian!"
