Game of Gods and Demons: The Mage is the eternal truth! Chapter 870

"Report! A sudden plague broke out in Liangzhou, the northern border, and it is suspected to be caused by the White Lotus Sect. The barbarians temporarily refused to accept the marriage delegation and asked to wait until the plague was over before the marriage."

Chen Zhen frowned for a moment: "Have you asked the inner guards about this news?"

"There is a secret letter from the inner guards, so it should be true."

Chen Zhen lowered his head. Such a big thing happened during the Tianji Festival. Although he did not believe in the divine right of the king, he could not resist the ignorant people who believed it, so he had to do the show. After all, the way he was going was the way of the emperor.

If this matter spreads, and the White Lotus Sect continues to spread the word about heavenly punishment, then the Tianji Festival will not be peaceful.

Chen Zhen gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "What a White Lotus Sect! Are General Ba and the Zhenbei Army okay?"

"There are few infections, and they have been isolated. It is estimated that it will take more than a month at most, and the plague should be suppressed."

Chen Zhen nodded slightly. It seems that this is the only way to deal with this matter now.

The time of the Heavenly Sacrifice cannot be changed, and the matter cannot be spread, so there are two solutions.

The first is to shut up the White Lotus Sect, and the second is to force the marriage.

The plague cannot be hidden from the barbarians, and there are rumors that the White Lotus Sect has been secretly communicating with the barbarians. This matter may have some shadows of the barbarians.

"Order to close all the main roads to Liangzhou, announce that the marriage delegation has successfully reached the barbarian territory, and order General Ba to lead 150,000 Zhenbei troops to set off today and rush to the imperial capital."

"At the same time, 100,000 will stay in Yixiantian, and 50,000 will go to Beijing to participate in the Heavenly Sacrifice. There must be no mistakes."

"Yes!"

Orders came one after another.

When Wei Liang heard about the plague, she knew that her White Lotus Sect would take the blame again.

Wei Liang lowered her head and pondered. This pot was not a bad pot. At least she had a trump card in her hand, and this trump card could at least get a lot of things from the court and from Emperor Chen Zhen.

"Send someone to deliver a letter to the emperor, saying that the White Lotus wants 100,000 taels of gold."

"Liang'er, is it that simple? Don't you need to add something else?"

"No."

"But..."

Wei Liang looked at the woman in white gauze opposite him and whispered: "Mom, in troubled times, gold is the only thing. With the money in hand, you can do anything in the future, right?"

"The White Lotus started from humble beginnings, and of course it wanted to overthrow the court, but someone else did it."

The leader of the White Lotus shook his head: "No matter who sits in that position, we are all losers and are the ones who will be liquidated. Only we can sit in that position."

"But mom, do you think it's realistic? With us now?"

Wei Liang: "Xuehong, come in."

Xuehong stepped in slowly.

"Son of King Lu?"

Wei Liang glanced at Xue Hong: "Tell me what you think."

Xue Hong pondered and said: "The plague means that they are plotting something big. The disaster started from the court. In fact, the world will not be in chaos because the power of the court is too strong, whether it is the imperial guards, the Zhenbei Army, or other hundreds of thousands of troops."

"I originally thought that as long as the marriage was disrupted, heroes would rise up, but now it seems that everyone is the same, lurking."

"So, there is only one possibility to make heroes rise up."

"What?"

Xue Hong said; "The northern border was lost, and the barbarians went south, and they had to go south a lot. They took advantage of the court's reorganization to quickly attack, and then each family became a king, ushering in an era of war."

The leader of the White Lotus Sect was stunned and looked at Wei Liang: "This..."

"And it may not be enough, say Maybe the barbarians will join forces with Tianlan in the west, that would be fast and chaotic enough. "

Wei Liang lowered his head and lowered his eyes: "You mean we should continue to collude with the barbarians. If the barbarians win, there will be many benefits. If the barbarians lose, the 100,000 taels of gold will be enough to make us rich for several lifetimes, right?"

Xuehong gritted his teeth and said bluntly: "No, secretly communicate with the barbarians, bet on Wang Ge, find an opportunity to break with the barbarians, and establish himself as king."

"Wang Ge? The young master of Wuthering Heights?"

Wei Liang said bluntly: "Mom, don't worry about this."

Then he thought slowly and said: "The second one is too troublesome, just the first one. I believe they understand our good intentions. They need the barbarians to go south. As long as this matter is not known to everyone, we will definitely escape the final reckoning."

The White Lotus Sect Leader sighed helplessly. Her daughter is smarter than her.

This is indeed the least risky and the best result.

But...

What she wants is power!

But helpless, if they don't unite with the barbarians now, the White Lotus Sect will be out.

If they unite with the barbarians, they still have a chance to gain power, and she has no objection to choosing the first one.

Xuehong nodded slightly; "The 100,000 gold court should not dare to neglect it, and then I will go to lobby the barbarians to unite with Tianlan, but I still need to inform them about this matter."

Wei Liang said bluntly: "I'll go."

White Lotus Sect Leader: "GoWhere?"

"Zhenbei Army Camp."

"No..."

"Don't worry, Mom, we're all familiar with each other, just focus on receiving the 100,000 taels of gold from the court."

White Lotus Sect Leader: [・ヘ・?]

Zhenbei Army Camp.

Wang Ge raised his eyebrows: "Let her in."

"Long time no see."

"Well, what are you doing here?"

Wei Liang: "You are hoping that the barbarians will march south in large numbers at a certain time, right?"

Wang Ge looked up at Wei Liang.
