At the Central Plains.
In the meeting hall.
The Central Prefecture Marquis had yet to arrive, but the civil and military officials were all gathered here and discussing.
"Have you heard? Something big had happened! The Marquis of Zhenbei tore up the imperial edict and crippled the envoy!”
"The envoy this time seems to be King Weiyuan's son, right? I think he's called Tian Wuheng. Oh my god! Northguard Marquis was too bold! This was simply not giving the imperial court any face at all!”
"This is a big deal. The Northguard Marquis is coming to visit us tomorrow…How should we treat him? If she got too close to him, would it cause the Tianwu Dynasty to be dissatisfied?”
"But…we can't slack off, Northguard Marquis! Was he really going to fall out with the Northguard Marquis for the Tianwu Dynasty? At that time, who would lead the army to fight with the people of Northern Battlefront Marquis? Are you going?"
"This…"
Everyone in the Central Prefecture felt weak…
Others might not know the strength of the Northern Borderline, but the people of the Central Plains knew it all too well! Not to mention other things, a long time ago, when the barbarians rushed across the northern border to the Central Plains to plunder, they had fought head-on with them.
And the result?
They were forced to give up some small towns to defend the key cities.
There was even a time when the Central Plains, the Barbarian Race, and the Monster Race had reached a tacit agreement. As long as they came to plunder, the small cities would be plundered by the Barbarian Race…
It was not until the Northern Marquis appeared that this situation disappeared completely. Although the people of the Central Plains did not know the exact strength of the Northern Borderline, the Northern Marquis had led 100,000 troops and defeated the allied army of the demon barbarians. The fact that he had severely injured the demon barbarians had given them a great shock…
"Sigh, Lord Marquis is right about one thing. The tragedy of our Central Plains is that we are too far away from Tianwu and too close to the northern border!”A civil official had no choice but to sigh.
"No matter what, let's welcome the Northern Marquis first!”
"Let Lord Marquis arrange this matter."
Just as everyone was discussing animatedly, in a corner of the Central Plains, a scholar slowly raised his head and a strange look flashed across his eyes.
At this moment, the Central Prefecture Marquis walked in.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
Everyone was very respectful.
"Sit!" "Have you heard about the matter this time?" What do you think of this matter?"
"Lord Marquis, if we receive the Northern Marquis at this time and the Imperial Court hears about it, I'm afraid we won't be able to bear the consequences.”
"Then what do you think?" The Central Prefecture Marquis asked.
"This…I'm afraid we have no choice but to receive the Northguard Marquis.”"It's hard to explain to the imperial court, so we can only delay it," the official said awkwardly.”
Just as everyone was at a loss, the civil official sitting in the corner suddenly said,""Lord Marquis, I have a plan!"
"Oh? Tell me!" The Central Prefecture Marquis asked.
"This time, the Northguard Marquis has led more than a hundred subordinates to visit. If we can take down the Northguard Marquis and hand him over to the imperial court, wouldn't it be a great merit?”the man said.
"You're crazy!"
"You dare to take down the Northern Marquis? What if he couldn't? The tiger and wolf army of the northern border will probably be directly destroyed by our Central Plains!”
"You mustn't!"
For a moment, the vast majority of people instantly refuted!
The risk was too great!
"This subordinate has a brilliant plan. If it really can't be done, then we'll receive the Marquis of Zhenbei normally. If there's a chance, why not do it with 100% certainty?”" Are we really going to stand together with the Marquis of Zhenbei to deal with the imperial court's army of tens of millions?" the man asked. Isn't that courting death?"
The Marquis of Central Prefecture's expression was uncertain. He looked around and was silent for a long time. Finally, he asked,
"What's your name?"
"I am Gao Zhijin! I'm in charge of the Ministry of Rites of the Central Plains."
"Tell me your plan."
" In addition to the ordinary people who came with us, the strongest ones on the list are the personal butler and general of the Northern Marquis, Uncle Wang, who is a Great Grandmaster, Li Feng, who is a First-class Grandmaster, Fang Rui and the Northern Marquis, who are Second-class Grandmasters, and the rest are 100 Martial Masters.”
" If we secretly dispatch 100 grandmasters from the entire Zhongzhou, along with the two great grandmasters who live in seclusion, and find an opportunity to attack directly, wouldn't we be able to take down the Northern Marquis?" Gao Zhijin said seriously. As long as he could take down the Northern Marquis, the outcome would be set!”
"Have you ever thought about the revenge of the Northern Borderline if the Marquis of Zhenbei is captured? What if those generals attack our Zhong Province?”The Central Prefecture Marquis asked.
"My lord, we will mobilize our troops to defend ourselves. As long as we have the Marquis of Zhenbei, the northern border will not dare to act rashly!”Gao Zhijin said,"At that time, as long as the imperial court sends people, they can directly recover the northern border!"
At that time, the Marquis would have done a great service. In the future, he would no longer have to look at the Northern Borderline. The Northern Borderline would even be under the Marquis 'command!”
As soon as he said that, the eyes of the Central Prefecture Marquis shone brightly.
"Lord Marquis, what are you still hesitating about? If there's no chance, then we'll just receive the Marquis of Zhenbei normally. If there's a chance…"
When Gao Zhijin said this, the Central Prefecture Marquis was finally moved!
"Brilliant plan!" Finally, someone agreed.
"I didn't expect Gao Zhijin to have such talent. It's been hard on you to be a civil official in the Ministry of Rites.”The Central Prefecture Marquis was in a good mood. Do you understand?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Lord Marquis, don't worry. The people here are all trusted aides. This matter is absolutely confidential!”
