This is the capital of the Fire Kingdom, but in Guangyin County today, some people are in panic, and the people even show some signs of fleeing. Because during this period of time, there has been news that the Fire Kingdom and the Xia Kingdom have lost the battle, and that the Xia Kingdom is going to kill them.
In the palace.
Chen Cangao sat on the throne with a cold expression on his face.
His face was full of sorrow.
He had already arranged for Lan Jiuzhen to go to the Southern Kingdom to unite, but until now, no news has come back, and Chen Can is also worried. Especially recently, there was a sudden news that Xia Guo was preparing to attack Huo Guo, which made Chen Can a little worried.
Xia Guo's strength is very tyrannical.
It is not easy for the Fire Nation to resist.
If it was the past, Chen Can was full of confidence and felt that he could fight Du Qi. However, after experiencing the First Battle of Qingniu Mountain, Chen Can saw the combat effectiveness of Xia Guo's army, and he lost his fighting spirit in his heart, and felt more fear in his heart.
"Step! Step!!!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps.
A servant hurried in and reported: "Your Majesty, the General seeks an audience."
"Xuan!"
Chen Can gave an order.
The servant went to deliver the order, and after a while, a general stepped in.
This person's name is Zhong Kui, and he is a general under Chen Can's command. He was recently promoted by Chen Can to assume the post of general and hold the power of the military. Because Lan Jiuzhen left, government affairs were reported directly to Chen Can for the time being, and military affairs were reported to Zhong Kui.
Zhong Kui will also report other matters.
Zhong Kui stood still after entering, and reported: "Your Majesty, I just got the news that Prime Minister Lan is dead."
"What?"
As soon as Chen Can heard the news, he stood up immediately, his face was full of anger, and said: "The prime minister died suddenly when he was on a diplomatic mission. What's going on?"
Zhong Kui said: "The news I got is that the prime minister went to the Southern Kingdom, hoping to form an alliance. But in fact, the Southern Kingdom directly detained the prime minister, and then brought the prime minister to the Xia Kingdom to join forces with the Xia Kingdom. Therefore, the prime minister was handed over. In the hands of Du Qi, the prime minister was directly beheaded by Du Qi."
After a pause, Zhong Kui said again: "This situation is the rumor that I got. There is no official news yet. I just don't know. How true is this news?"
Chen Can's face was full of anger.
Very angry.
Because Lan Jiu is really his counselor and someone he relies heavily on. For a long time, Chen Can's Huo Kingdom had few civil servants and a small proportion of counselors, so Chen Can hoped to strengthen the civil service system.
Lan Jiu is really capable and able to take charge of government affairs, which is what Chen Can is happy about. But now, Lan Jiuzhen is actually dead. You must know that the two countries do not fight each other, but the practice of the southern country is too bad.
"Report!"
Just at this moment, the head of the palace entered, quickly came to Chen Can's side, and whispered something.
Impressively, it was the news that Lan Jiuzhen had been killed.
Chen Can waved his hand to let the chief executive back down, then looked at Zhong Kui, and said: "The news just received has been spread in the city, and it is said everywhere that Lan Jiuzhen has been killed. Even Xia Guo and Nanguo formed an alliance , Next, we will attack our country of fire. As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind, and the news has already been spread, so it cannot be false news, it must be true. The problem we are facing now is the pincer attack between the two countries."
Zhong Kui said: "This great king of the southern country is really abominable. He turned out to be so treacherous. King, if the two countries really kill us, it will be extremely unfavorable to us and the pressure will be great."
Chen Can said: "This king also knows, General Zhong, what do you think should be done?"
Zhong Kui said: "Your Majesty, if we were to leave the Fire Nation to fight, it would be difficult for us to deal with the two sides' attack. But at the moment, we can solve this problem. The reason is very simple. We are fighting locally and can mobilize local forces." The common people above can even encourage all big families. Call on everyone to resist with all their strength. As long as they destroy the invading enemy, they will be rewarded. Under such circumstances, even if the enemy is aggressive, you can block."
Chen Can frowned slightly, and said, "Such a strategy is not very good."
Zhong Kui was dumbfounded.
When it comes to fighting, he is completely fine. But he is not good at making plans.
Chen Can thought for a while, and ordered: "Come here, tell Jiang He to come."
"yes!"
When the servant got the order, he went to summon it immediately.
&nb "good!"
Zhong Kui responded directly.
With his head held high, he said loudly, "I hope it will be Ben who will apologize to you."
After speaking, he left without looking back.
Jiang He looked at Zhong Kui's leaving back and smiled coldly. For him, he believes that at the moment, as long as he acts according to his plan, he will definitely win, and it is impossible to fail.
Jiang He also went straight out of the palace.
He never went home, but went directly to Pan's house in the city.
Although the Pan family in Guangyin County is not considered a prominent family in the Great Qin, a hundred years ago, when the Great Qin was rising, the members of the Pan family's ancestors took advantage of the trend and helped the then Great Qin Emperor. Although he was not considered prominent, he eventually retired from the position of Minister of Rites and returned to Guangyin County, his ancestral home.
Although the Pan family no longer has any officials, their influence is second to none.
After all, it is a century-old family.
Jiang He led the people straight to the outside of Pan's house. The accompanying attendant knocked on the door, and when the porter came out, the attendant directly stated that it was Jiang He, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who came to visit. The porter did not dare to neglect, first brought Jiang He into the hall of the mansion, and then went to the backyard to report.
Jiang He stood in the hall with a confident expression.
Jiang He is confident that he can persuade the other party to stand by Chen Can's side.
After all, he was going to give a big reward.
But at the moment in the backyard, Pan Xisheng, the Patriarch of the Pan family, was sitting opposite a young man.
The young man is none other than King Luo Bin.
After he arrived in Guangyin County, he has been planning to instigate more people. Up to now, Pan Xisheng has been on the side of King Luo Bin and was persuaded by King Luo Bin. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
