The great wizard was stunned, and a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his arrogant expression.
"After my granddaughter takes the throne of Empress Dowager, I can lead my people directly into the palace and become the Emperor of Dai Viet."
"However, if that happens, the entire country will be in chaos, and war will break out across the country. At that time, the people of Dai Viet will be plunged into endless war."
"If that's the case, what's the point of me having a messy Da Yue?"
"I also feel sorry for those innocent people, so I didn't act hastily."
At this time, Yue Haoyun pointed at the great wizard and asked, "So, you want to infiltrate the Great Yue court little by little, without anyone noticing?"
The great wizard chuckled, "You could say that."
Xia Miaoyuan frowned, [It must be a lie. That look just now betrayed him.]
[Is there something you can't tell me? ]
Xiao Ruoyu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but praise her daughter in her heart. Her daughter was indeed good at reading.
"This great wizard only said this to save face." Xiao Ruoyu said in a low voice.
Xia Miaoyuan asked softly, "What's the real reason?"
The Second Prince and his entourage gathered around Xiao Ruoyu and listened attentively.
"After Emperor Wude burned down the Chi tribe's headquarters, the Chi tribe was almost wiped out, with only a very small number of members remaining."
"It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be for a Chi tribe that's nearly wiped out to develop! Even if they succeed in getting the Bamboo Spirit into the palace, their own tribe's power would definitely not be enough."
"Besides, the Chi tribe is only good at witchcraft and sorcery. They know nothing about serious knowledge, such as governing a country. Their members can hardly read, let alone govern."
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince couldn't help but interrupt, "In other words, even if Emperor Wude had passed away, they wouldn't have been able to directly control the Dai Viet court and have their clansmen serve as officials to govern Dai Viet?"
Xiao Ruoyu nodded slightly in appreciation, "That's right."
Xia Miaoyuan scratched his ear, his mind racing again. "Just imagine, it's shocking! If a bunch of uneducated people who only knew how to practice witchcraft were to become officials in the various departments of the Dai Viet court, what would Dai Viet become?"
[I'm afraid it's completely turned upside down, demonized. From a civilized and powerful nation, it has turned into a crazy and demonic nation overnight.]
[It seems fortunate that this great wizard has a good understanding of his own people.]
Xiao Ruoyu continued, "I think it's precisely because of this that they adopted a moderate approach, appointing Zhu Ling as the Queen Mother and having Dai Viet's original court officials take charge of government. This way, their people could slowly infiltrate the Dai Viet court."
"Also, it buys time for their people to learn their culture."
Xia Miaoyuan suddenly found it very funny when he heard this. [The Chi tribe is just a bunch of noobs who want to play around. They want to steal the country, but after they get it, they can't control it themselves.]
At this time, looking at Yue Haoyun and Lin Xiang, they were still talking to the great wizard.
Yue Haoyun shouted sternly, "You are such a despicable bunch! How dare you try to steal our country!"
The great wizard sneered and said, "It's just tit for tat. It was your dog emperor who started the killing spree first!"
Lin Xiang said sternly, "Chi Moyan, you are so unreasonable! Back then, how many of my people of Daiyue were killed in order to practice witchcraft and poison?"
"To earn money, you even developed an addictive poison, disguising it as spices and selling it. How many people have lost their fortunes and their families?!"
"If you hadn't refused to repent, how could the late emperor have resorted to such a desperate measure?"
After hearing Lin Xiang's words, everyone present suddenly realized what was happening. They had never expected this Chi tribe to be so vicious. It was truly a cancer in Dai Viet.
The Great Wizard glared at Lin Xiang and Yue Haoyun fiercely and said sternly, "That is the way of survival for my Chi tribe! It has nothing to do with right or wrong!"
"Emperor Wude killed my people, and that is a blood feud."
"Today, since the Red Demon Bamboo Spirit and her son can no longer sit firmly on the throne, my Chi tribe will simply massacre the Dai Viet Royal Palace, kill all the Dai Viet princes and ministers, and completely occupy Dai Viet!"
The great wizard's voice resounded throughout the palace, making people's ears hurt.
Everyone then realized that Zhu Ling’s real name was Red Demon Zhu Ling.
I originally thought her surname Zhu was very strange, because she had hidden her surname and used her given name as her surname.
At this moment, the bamboo spirit and the witch also laughed wildly, echoing in unison: "Great! Bloodbath the Dai Viet Palace!"
The great wizard thrust the spear-like weapon in his hand hard into the ground, and his body flew into the air.
Their strange and crazy behavior frightened everyone and made them stunned for a moment.
The Chi tribe has disappeared for a long time, and no one knows what their abilities are.
At this moment, the great wizard's deafening voice rang out again, "Chi tribe members, listen up! Activate the soul-destroying magic circle and kill these hypocritical Dai Yue people!"
Then, Zhu Ling, Mei'er, the witch, and the followers in blue robes formed a strange line, surrounded the great wizard in the middle, and all gathered their luck and chanted spells.
Immediately afterwards, a huge sound wave spread out from the magic circle, and everyone affected by the sound wave suffered a severe headache.
Yue Haoyun, Lin Xiang, princes and ministers, the second prince, Xiao Ruoyu, Da Xia's secret guards, the imperial guards, the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and the inner guards all covered their ears in pain and were unable to move.
Only Xia Miaoyuan was in good condition, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his ears.
[Oh no! These crazy people have activated a magic circle. Everyone has lost their fighting ability. What should we do?]
When Xia Miaoyuan was at a loss, she suddenly felt a slight heat on her chest. She looked down and saw that the colorful magic beads around her neck were emitting a faint red light, which flashed through her coat.
[Ah! What's going on?]
At this time, some elderly and frail people could not bear the torture of the sound waves and blood was flowing from their mouths and noses.
Xia Miaoyuan took the beads out of his clothes and held them in a daze, not knowing what to do.
The great wizard's arrogant and ferocious laughter was heard in the air.
At this moment, a dazzling white light appeared, illuminating the night sky as if it were daytime.
Xia Miaoyuan looked up in surprise.
I saw a white figure flying in gracefully and hovering above the surface of Mirror Lake.
[Who is it? Has someone come to save us?]
Before Xia Miaoyuan could see who the man in white was, she suddenly heard footsteps. When she looked sideways, she saw that it was Maomao running towards her.
She rode Maomao into the palace today, and when she arrived at the palace banquet, the eunuch took Maomao to the stable to take care of him. So she didn't have time to go to the stable to take Maomao back.
What's going on?
Xia Miaoyuan pulled Maomao's reins and tried to look at the white figure.
