Chapter 329: Better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times

"We've scanned it. These herbs contain insect eggs. Once activated, these eggs should be able to perform certain functions, such as transmitting information or something else."

Not long after, news came from Li Harry.

"Sure enough."

In fact, Li Zhongren himself saw these insect eggs through the Sharingan, so the Insect Queen's intention to sell things was fake, and her real intention was to use herbs to convey information.

Obviously, this was a long-planned plan. However, what Li Zhongren couldn't understand was that his appearance in this plan was an accident. In other words, what would the woman do if he was not there?

What should she do to get the herbs out of the palace without arousing suspicion?

Li Zhongren didn't know, but he would know soon.

The reason is simple. As long as this batch of herbs does not flow into the market, the woman will sooner or later use alternative methods.

"What is Lan Feng doing?"

In the imperial study, the emperor of Daqian, a middle-aged man, suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, since we went to the cold palace, everything has been peaceful. No one, whether human or poisonous insect, has ever triggered the formation. As for what is going on inside, I don't know. If your Majesty wants to know, I can call the eunuch in charge of the Frost Palace."

"No need."

Emperor Daqian shook his head.

"He's just a minor eunuch. If Lan Feng makes any move, he won't be able to find out. If he finds out and doesn't report it, it means he's been controlled by the poisonous insect. Tell the Imperial Observatory not to relax and leave a team of people alone to monitor him for a long time. The temperament of the people in Southern Xinjiang is there. They won't surrender willingly."

"The current stability is just a delaying tactic for them. Of course, it is also a delaying tactic for Daqian."

The personal eunuch of Emperor Daqian nodded, turned and left. As the emperor's personal eunuch, he naturally knew what the emperor meant.

Since he ascended the throne, he has fought wars in the south and the north, and in the east and the west, directly solving most of the border problems that have plagued Daqian for many years. In one fell swoop, the dynasty's area in the Central Plains reached its peak. But it was also at this time that he discovered that there were other countries to the west, and they were very powerful countries at that.

In the past, due to the distance, he was unable to interact with Daqian. But in the past hundred years, after the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, the Daqian Emperor knew that distance was no longer a problem.

Therefore, the emperor, who always prepared for danger in times of peace, wanted to completely resolve the conflicts around Daqian and prepare for fighting with the countries in the far west.

Among these many surrounding issues, the most difficult one to deal with is actually southern Xinjiang.

Their frontal combat strength is average, but their covert combat capability is extremely strong.

It's because they control the poisonous insects.

Invisible to the naked eye, killing is invisible.

If a strong man who controls the poisonous insect wants to target an army and wants to avoid risks perfectly, he must have a master at the level of Dharma or Yang Shen to target them perfectly.

Therefore, the emperor decided to put aside his plans for the far west and focus on solving the problem in southern Xinjiang.

As for the plan, it is actually very simple.

Just eight words.

The teacher had a legitimate reason to cut down mountains and destroy temples.

The last war with Southern Xinjiang was just an appetizer. In order to prove to the world that the Daqian Dynasty was an army of justice, they did not take harsh actions against Southern Xinjiang. They just taught it a lesson and took the princess away. This was actually a knife to Southern Xinjiang.

If they dare to do it.

If we completely wipe out Southern Xinjiang, no one will be able to find fault with it.

However, what surprised the emperor was that after more than a month, almost two months, Concubine Chong remained indifferent.
but
The chief eunuch narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew very well that he had spread the news that Concubine Chong had been banished to the cold palace. They could not tolerate the character of the people in Southern Xinjiang. Sooner or later, they would make trouble.
Moreover, if there is really no movement, he, as a minister, will take the initiative to help make some movement.——
"Any response?"

"Princess, no."

Hearing this, Lan Feng nodded.

In two months, two batches of herbs were sent out, but there was no return at all. However, every penny of the money was given to himself. There was only one result: this batch of herbs was seized by the organization to which Li Zhongren belonged.

Regardless of whether they have discovered the problem, they still err on the side of caution and do not want the herbs to enter the market and be noticed.

I can't say that I am wrong at all.

"Princess, no, let's stick to the original plan."

After a moment, the maid spoke.

"No, wait a little longer."

Lan Feng looked at her maid and shook her head. She couldn't do it.
In fact, she originally planned to sacrifice the maid to contact the outside world, but after meeting Li Zhongren, she decided to give it a try, and even used her own insect energy to cultivate the herbs. However, the things were sent out, but the intelligence was not there.
Somewhere outside the Frost Palace.

There is also a building here, and people living in this building are from the Imperial Observatory.

The Imperial Observatory controls Taoism.

By analogy, it is the scientific department of the Daqian Dynasty.

Of course, they also go out on field missions, for example, at this moment, they are using formations to monitor the Frost Palace where they are.

Logically speaking, every move of the Frost Palace should be under their observation, but considering the unique sensitivity of the insect, they did not use such a formation, but chose this more passive method to isolate the intelligence.

As long as you are inside the formation, you will never be able to pass on any information.

However, there is also a drawback, that is, this formation is only effective against extraordinary means, and is useless against ordinary letters.

However, the only person who could communicate with Lan Feng was the eunuch in charge of the Frost Palace, Li Zhongren. What Li Zhongren didn't know was that there was someone following him day and night.

It's nonsense to rely on Li Zhongren to pass on information.

All that's left is to wait patiently.

"Squeak~~"

Just at this moment, the door opened and the person who walked in was none other than the emperor's substitute eunuch, Li Gen.

Li Gen grew up with the emperor when he was a child. The two were of similar age and were childhood playmates. Therefore, few people dared to offend him.

"Meet Manager Li."

"Ah."

Li Gen looked at the man opposite him. He was the young apprentice of the Chief Priest of the Imperial Observatory. He was less than 20 years old, but he had innate strength and should not be underestimated.

"Any special information about the surveillance of the Insect Queen?"

"Reporting to Manager Li, everything is normal."

"Increase the intensity from time to time to let them know that you are monitoring her."

"Yes."

Zhang Er bowed his hands. He didn't know the reason, but since he had an order, he just had to execute it.

After waiting for Li Zongguan to leave, Li Gen returned to the center of the formation and slowly picked up the formation plate. The other people in the room also took their positions and prepared to change the formation. But at this time, Zhang Er suddenly looked to the side. He didn't know when there was an extra eunuch there. This eunuch had a pair of scarlet eyes, and there were some strange patterns in his eyes.
Looking at the people under his control, Li Zhongren sighed.

Before awakening his Mangekyō Sharingan, he didn't know there was a barrier here. He could only say that it was all luck, otherwise he would have been exposed long ago.

"But, what should I do now?"

Looking at the people hypnotized by the Mangekyō Sharingan, Li Zhongren looked at the formation diagram.

Once the formation is fully opened, he will be able to watch everything in the Frost Palace like real-time surveillance. Then, the plantation that he built by bypassing everyone will be exposed immediately. And from the information he got in the Frost Palace before, it seems that the Insect Concubine has other means of contacting the outside world.

"Then give her a push."

"Everything is normal in Frost Palace."

After giving the order, Li Zhongren left the room quietly and went directly to the Frost Palace and to Concubine Chong's room under the cover of night.

"Father-in-law, you are saying one thing and thinking another."

Seeing Li Zhongren coming to her room in the middle of the night, Lan Feng was not nervous. Instead, she gently took off her coat, revealing her beautiful body.

"Your affairs are about to be exposed, but they have been suppressed temporarily."

Li Zhongren gave Chong Fei a cold look.

"I have completely destroyed the botanical garden. There is not a trace left. Starting tomorrow, they will continue to monitor you. If you have other plans, make plans early."

"Haha, it's you who withheld those herbs, father-in-law."

"If I don't seize it and let it flow out, I will be implicated. So, what exactly is your plan to assassinate the emperor?"

"It's not an assassination, but a control. My father intends to use us as a beacon to transfer the Gu King directly to the palace. He will use the formation that blocks the palace to seal everyone inside, and then let the Gu King directly control the palace and your emperor."

"In fact, the Gu King is more powerful than your emperor, but its disadvantage is that it cannot move and its brain is not very good, so it can only be effective in certain environments."

"You're telling me such a confidential plan?"

"Because, I hope you can help me."

"Help you with what? Help you kill our emperor?"

"No, it's to help me and my maids out of this misery."

Lan Feng took a deep breath and spoke.

"Under the rule of the Gu King, the people of Southern Xinjiang do not live well. Blood sacrifices are everywhere. Moreover, those who raise Gu will be troubled by the Gu insects for the rest of their lives. I'm tired of the pain of the Gu insects gnawing at your internal organs."

"I know, your eyes seem to be able to suppress the poisonous insects, if you are willing to help me remove the poisonous insects, I am willing to serve you."

"So you betrayed your father?"

"He is not my biological father. He sacrificed my biological father to the Gu King. Does he think I don't know?"

"So, you want to get rid of the control of the Gu worm and trick your stepfather at the same time, right?"

"Correct."

"What about Southern Xinjiang?"

"The Emperor Daqian is wise and powerful. After the poison in southern Xinjiang is eradicated, I think the lives of the people in southern Xinjiang will get better. Anyway, once the King of Gu dies, all those who use Gu worms will die..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Li Zhongren nodded slightly.

He has no interest in merit or anything like that.

He doesn't want to be a savior, and he has no sense of belonging to this world.

However, it is very interesting that after helping the Insect Queen, he can get a nice doll.

You say he traveled through time and space with great difficulty, but for what? Isn't it just to eat, drink and have fun?

In his previous life, he could only see such a woman on the Internet, but now, she will become his plaything.
"Ahem, calm down, calm down."

Li Zhongren breathed a sigh of relief.

Being a eunuch for a long time, my mind becomes a little abnormal.
The Daqian Dynasty is not bad. Although it also has the drawbacks of the feudal dynasty, it is better than no order. After all, the saying is right: it is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
"Your Majesty, that woman finally couldn't help herself and made some noises."

The next day, Li Gen reported the matter to Emperor Daqian.

"What's the noise?"

"The people from the Imperial Observatory put a little pressure on them, and they could see into the Frost Palace through the barrier for a while, but they couldn't stand it anymore. It should be the blood sacrifice that penetrated the palace barrier and established a connection with somewhere in southern Xinjiang. After cracking it, we know that they want to teleport the Gu King here."

"How brave."

Hearing this, Emperor Daqian threw the book aside.

He also knew that the Gu King was the source of all poisonous insects. It was rumored that it was a visitor from outer space and all poisonous insects were under its control. Moreover, in terms of hard power, he was not even a match for this thing because it was no longer an ordinary creature.

If I let the other party come to the palace and take the initiative without knowing it, I would be in great danger.

However, what those southern barbarians did not know was that he had already moved away the important personnel and items in the palace long ago, and the current palace was just an empty shell.

Now that the other party's plan has been confirmed, this empty shell will become the Gu King's grave.
"Pass the order and have the Imperial Observatory prepare for the event. It would be best if they could capture the Gu King alive."

"Your Majesty, why don't you just kill the Gu King?"

"The power of the Gu worm is hard to guard against. If it is in our hands, it will definitely be a powerful weapon. The spies I sent to the Far West reported that the people there are also very powerful, and their power system is completely different from that of our Central Plains. It is best to use every bit of power."

"Is this the power of the Sharingan?"

Lan Feng looked at the densely packed poisonous insects in the room. These poisonous insects were even piled up into the shape of humans, pretending to be herself and her servants, trying to establish contact with Southern Xinjiang. Once the contact was successful, they could directly teleport the King of Poison over.

But in fact, these poisonous insects had been hypnotized by Li Zhongren and pulled out of his body.

Yes, pull!

Only this word can describe it accurately.

The poisonous insect that had been bound to her for so many years was completely pulled out. Moreover, this process would allow the poisonous insect to continuously release energy to repair her broken body. Otherwise, once the poisonous insect was pulled out, she would be the first to die.

I can only say that it is a magical skill.
"Okay, stop sighing, let's get out of here first."

"it is good."

Lan Feng changed into the eunuch's service, followed by her three maids, and followed Li Zhongren out of the palace.

The voyage was smooth and unimpeded, and no one suspected anything.

Obviously, this is the power of the Sharingan.
