Chapter 419 The Disaster on the Board
Yuan Ruan tilted his head in confusion: [Tong'er, didn't you say that he is strong in a conceptual sense? Is there anything wrong with what I said?]
The system emphasizes: [He is conceptually invincible in water battles. But Chen, Chu, and Shu are basically inland, and there are relatively few water battles. So even if the King of Linjiang is sent out, he will be a weakling on land and there is no way he can be invincible. ]
Yuanruan was a little disappointed when he heard this: [Alas... this restriction is a bit too big. What a pity. ]
The emperor raised the corners of his lips slightly and drank calmly.
The civil and military officials in the court seemed to be deep in thought, and they looked less and less at Prince Linjiang.
King Linjiang was very dissatisfied when he heard the word "soft-footed shrimp". He especially noticed that the number of people around him was decreasing. He clenched his fists again and whispered to King Hengshan beside him: "How can I be a soft-footed shrimp? It's really..."
"That's great." King Hengshan whispered happily.
King Linjiang was confused: "Ah?"
King Hengshan looked at the other party in bewilderment and then explained in a low voice: "You are extremely useful and can expand the territory of Daxia. You also have a fatal weakness and will not pose a real threat to Daxia. This is very good for His Majesty, and His Majesty will use you more because of this."
Prince Linjiang sighed, but he finally figured it out and a smile appeared on his face.
System: [That must have limitations. If he is truly invincible, he will be ranked first among the generals. Daxia is also in danger.]
Yuanruan: [That’s right. Let’s talk about luck. ]
When King Hengshan heard that it was his turn, he immediately pricked up his ears.
System: [Him. He is the negative balancer of Daxia’s national destiny.]
Crowd: !!!
Although this term seemed new, everyone could still understand its meaning. After understanding it, the old officials looked at King Hengshan vaguely.
King Hengshan was nervous: The fate of the country is negative again?! Could it be very unlucky?! No, if he calmed down, maybe he would turn around like "Si Hai Di".
Yuan Ruan perked up after hearing this. He drank a mouthful of the hawthorn medicinal food that helped digestion, and his face wrinkled from the sourness: [Ah? The negative balancer of national destiny? He is so negative? Tell me more about it.]
System: [Ah Ruan, you know that some people are born with bad luck. King Hengshan is one of them. He is born to make Daxia have bad luck. For example, if there is a war, several routes are placed in front of him. King Hengshan randomly chooses one route. If Daxia really takes the route he chooses, it will definitely lose.]
Crowd: …
The system continued: [For example, grain. Chu wanted to boost the real estate market of King Xiping and store grain for military purposes, so it bought up all the grain in King Hengshan's territory, and even used King Hengshan's merchants to buy grain from King Yan's territory. If Chu bought grain from other fiefdoms, Daxia would get the news soon. But because Chu bought grain from King Hengshan's territory, and because Chu's original intention was to bring bad luck to Daxia, Daxia officials didn't notice anything wrong.]
The civil officials, especially the Minister of Revenue, could no longer sit still and looked at the King of Hengshan with daggers in their eyes.
King Hengshan's face turned pale.
Yuan Ruan's mouth twitched: [Was King Hengshan let down by Daxia in his previous life? This life is the one that brought bad luck to Daxia. ]
The court officials all looked at King Hengshan in silence, sizing him up and down.
The gazes of these people made King Hengshan even more nervous: He was going to die! He had a dangerous loophole on his plate?! Could he still survive?!
At this moment, he felt someone holding his arm tightly. King Hengshan was startled and turned his head, just in time to see the determined look of King Linjiang.
King Hengshan was stunned for a moment, and then he heard King Linjiang whisper: "Don't panic. I will give you back all the profits you lost. I will protect you!"
