Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 406 Declaring War
The Star Luo Empire, the Gengjin City, and the Imperial Palace.

"So you're saying that because of my Xingluo's envoy, Tiandou's two princes including the prince are dead?"

The emperor frowned when he heard the news. This unexpected event really made him feel that the rain is about to come.

Someone has done something to the empire.

The emperor's eyes flickered coldly. He knew his empire better than he knew himself.

No one would choose to anger the Heaven Dou Empire in this way at this time.

Even the most radical war faction would not agree to murder the prince and heir to provoke disputes, because it would be too easy to twist the opposite sides into one rope, which is not conducive to war.

So, who is framing the Empire?
The emperor stared at the map covering the entire high wall in front of him, turned his back to the man in black behind him, and his mind was full of thoughts.

"Yes, although the Heaven Dou Empire quickly sealed off the Heaven Dou City, the news of the crown prince's assassination was spread quickly, and it is now spreading across the mainland, and the speed is not slow."

"I suspect that someone may be behind the scenes to fuel the flames."

The head of the Zhu family in the black robe did not fluctuate, his eyes were cold, and he reported his guess to the emperor who stood with his back to him and his hands behind his back.

The emperor closed his eyes, and the intelligence materials of the major forces on the mainland circled in his mind.

Who will it be?

"Is there any action at the Wuhun Palace?" After thinking for a while, the emperor asked.

The head of the Zhu family said: "The pope announced the suspension of the soul master competition. Before the situation is clear, all the soul masters of the Wuhun Palace must not act rashly, and urged the forces that sent assassins to assassinate Xue Qinghe not to resist stubbornly, and to admit their crimes as soon as possible. "

The iron-blooded emperor turned around and stared at the same cold subordinate, his eyes seemed to be confirming something.

The Patriarch of the Zhu family did not waver under the emperor's sight, met the emperor's sight, and added:
"In addition to this, the Pope's Palace also ordered the sub-chapels under its jurisdiction to purchase food and be ready to supply the suffering people at any time."

Wuhundian is ready for the upcoming war.

The emperor heard Zhu Zhongda's hidden lines, and he seemed to remember that Wuhundian seemed to have started buying grain a few years ago...although it was in the name of helping the villagers.

Could it be that Wuhundian did this?They may have been planning for this day...

The keen-minded Emperor Xing Luo finally connected many clues together at this moment, and saw some ways out.

But how do they do it?

Another doubt appeared in the emperor's mind.

When did Wuhundian infiltrate into the foreign affairs department of the empire?
The emperor looked at the head of the Zhu family, the sight that was enough to make Dai Mubai's body and mind stagnate and tremble did not shake this equally icy man.

"The envoy who is said to have assassinated Prince Tiandou, has his identity been confirmed? What's the situation?" the emperor asked.

"Because of the closure of Tiandou City, coupled with Tiandou's frenzied investigation of the empire's personnel, we have completely lost contact with the empire's intelligence network in Tiandou."

"Therefore, we are still unable to confirm who was involved in Xue Qinghe's death. But after our re-check, the members of the mission to Tiandou on this trip are all loyal ministers loyal to the empire and His Majesty, and have clean backgrounds. "

Although very puzzled, this is the information that the head of the Zhu family personally investigated thoroughly.

The emperor's brows were furrowed.

"you sure?"

The head of the Zhu family nodded: "I would like to use the head of the item as a guarantee. Regarding the family background and interpersonal contacts of the envoys, the Zhu family has jointly investigated thoroughly with Honglu Temple, and there will be no mistakes."

The emperor twisted his neck and made a crisp sound.

"I understand, you go down first."

The head of the Zhu family cupped his hands: "Yes, I will retire."

After the Patriarch of the Zhu family left, the dictatorial emperor pondered for a long time, then went to the table and took out some pens and paper, and began to write his orders.

Summoning the waiter who followed him, the emperor handed him several orders and said:
"Pass on these few orders of mine."

"Inform Honglu Temple to issue an announcement immediately, explaining that the assassination of Tiandou Prince Xue Qinghe has nothing to do with our Star Luo Empire, and the Empire also expresses its deep condolences. The Star Luo Empire is willing to join hands with the Tian Dou Empire to investigate this incident."

"But at the same time, I hope that the Heaven Dou Empire can release the Star Luo envoys to return to the country as soon as possible, and don't provoke the majesty of the Star Luo Empire."

After finishing the order submitted to Honglu Temple, the emperor went on to say: "Then inform the counties and counties at all levels in the north to collect food and grass, and enter a state of combat readiness."

The emperor did not notify the imperial army to march north, one was to avoid stimulating Tiandou's fragile nerves at this moment, and the other was because of Xingluo's traffic.

Unlike Tiandou, Xingluo's relaxed road traffic allows the empire's troops to move quickly within Xingluo's territory. As long as food and grass are prepared, they can immediately have combat effectiveness.

Although the emperor also knew that there was a high probability that Tiandou would not listen to the diplomatic statement issued by his Honglu Temple at this moment, but as long as the people under his rule believed it, it would be fine.

The sentiment of the people before the war must be taken seriously.

Although preparations for war have been made long ago, the current situation is beyond the emperor's expectations.

Xing Luo was framed and coerced into passivity and injustice.

This made the emperor who had always been strong and proactive very uncomfortable, especially the enemy who was hiding under the waves and coveted the empire.

Worries kept emerging in the emperor's mind.

Xingluo is strong, but not strong enough.

The emperor's hand, hidden from the sight of others, clenched his fist tightly. If he was given another ten years to prepare...

Sighing inwardly, the emperor gave his order to the waiter: "Okay, you go."

"Yes!" The waiter left the palace immediately.

Although Xingluo has experienced countless ups and downs since the founding of the country hundreds of years ago, and continued to fight back and expand in desperate situations, it is only now that the empire is formed, but...

The biggest crisis in history is coming.

The tough emperor felt an unparalleled heaviness and pressure for the first time in a long time.

And just when the emperor was thinking about countermeasures alone, a voice from outside the palace came in:

"Prince Dai Mubai, please see Your Majesty!"

……

Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, a week has passed since Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng passed away, the city is full of white matter.

And in the main hall of Tiandou Imperial Palace, the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty finally saw a snowy night when they hadn't gone to court for a whole week.

This week, all kinds of undercurrents surged in Tiandou City, and personnel from various forces kept in touch, but Xue Ye, who was always very sensitive to this, did not respond as quickly as before.

Because of this, many people suspected that the death of his son had hit Xue Ye too hard, or that he was planning something and didn't care about the many undercurrents in the city.

Xue Ye, who was sitting on the throne again, was almost unrecognizable by the officials and nobles below.

Xue Ye didn't wear the simple but elegant imperial robes that she usually wears, and she didn't comb her messy hair, her eyes were bloodshot, and her previous kingly aura was also a little less, and her whole person was a little more. Aging and decay.

When the court formally came to court, before all the officials spoke, the old emperor declared his will to the entire empire with his rather forceful voice, as expected by many people:

"Notify the entire empire, enter a state of combat readiness from now on, and seek justice for my sons."

"The Heaven Dou Empire, declare war on the Star Luo Empire!"
