Gu Jian shook his head; this woman was very arrogant.
She thought she could easily guess what he was thinking.
Unfortunately, she guessed nothing correctly.
Gu Jian wasn't in a hurry to refute her. He let her be arrogant for a while, and he would definitely teach her a lesson with a small leather whip one day.
As for whether or not to serve him while he's fully clothed, that depends on his mood.
Anyway, Hu Linglong was punished by not wearing clothes.
He is now exceptionally compliant.
Some wicked images flashed through his mind, but Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty is right, and I have come to terms with it."
"I am here on the behalf of Queen Shiyu. But I also hope to make my mark."
To realize grand ambitions?
Empress Lin Youxian of the Other Shore was surprised upon hearing this, and then sneered.
This man definitely had ulterior motives.
What is the meaning of "to realize one's grand ambitions"?
She's only living off her sister.
I don't know how my sister could have fallen for someone like that.
Lin Youxian felt even more contemptuous and asked, "What grand plan are you referring to?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Conquer the human realm, and rise to the highest position among ministers!"
Conquer the human realm and rise to the highest position among ministers!
As the sound faded, Lin Youxian was startled.
She then sneered, "You have quite the nerve, and your ambition is astonishing. I just wonder if your abilities can match your ambition."
"You say you want to conquer the human realm, then tell me in detail how you will conquer it. You probably don't know that the power of the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom is more than ten times that of my Other Shore Demon Kingdom."
She had assumed she was there to live off a man.
But the ambition he reveals doesn't seem like that of someone who lives off a woman.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Even if it's ten times stronger, so what? The clash between two nations doesn't only take place on the battlefield. Has Your Majesty heard the saying, 'The best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting; the next best is to disrupt their alliances; and the worst is to besiege their cities'?"
Lin Youxian frowned immediately; she had never heard of this theory before.
However, I found that what he said made a lot of sense.
Unable to contain her surprise, Lin Youxian looked at Gu Jian with her beautiful eyes and said, "Then tell me, how do we devise a strategy?"
"Don't forget, besides the Demon Dragon Kingdom, there is also the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. Although the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom is weaker than my Other Shore Demon Kingdom, it is not easy to deal with."
"So you mean to destroy the Demon Kingdom first?"
At this point, Lin Youxian gave another cold laugh.
If she could destroy the Demon Kingdom first, she would have done so long ago.
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, that's not the case. In my opinion, not only should we not destroy the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, but we should also form an alliance with it."
An alliance?!
Lin Youxian frowned.
At this moment, Gu Jian's voice rang out.
"Although the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is weaker than the Kingdom of the Other Shore, it must have something extraordinary to be able to stand firm in this chaotic world."
"In addition, although I have been living in seclusion in Nanyang all these years, I have been paying attention to what is happening outside."
"Not long ago, the Demon Kingdom was able to intimidate the Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom with just two Holy Demons from the Cloud Realm. For now, forming an alliance with them will only bring benefits to the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore."
"His Majesty may worry about them stabbing him in the back, but that can be prevented in advance. It's not a big problem."
Lin Youxian nodded slightly, and for a moment she looked at the person in front of her with new respect.
Perhaps he isn't who he thinks he is?
Lin Youxian's interest was piqued, and her sharp eyes flashed slightly as she said, "Continue!"
Gu Jian looked at Lin Youxian and smiled slightly, "The Myriad Demon Kingdom has a profound foundation. I believe that the Myriad Demon Kingdom's foundation is not limited to just those two Holy Demons."
"The Other Shore Demon Kingdom also has its own foundation. If I'm not mistaken, the important ceremony three months from now will be the key to the Other Shore Demon Kingdom's foundation."
"Once the festival is completed, the strength of my Other Shore Demon Kingdom will reach a new level."
"In this way, with both external alliances and strong internal support, one can remain invincible."
Lin Youxian frowned and said, "Is this all it takes to be invincible?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Of course. If the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore is united."
Lin Youxian's eyes flickered, and she said, "What if we're not united?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "If we cannot unite, then we can only fall apart."
Lin Youxian sensed a hidden meaning in Gu Jian's words.
Looking at Gu Jian, Lin Youxian asked again, "Then do you think our Other Shore Demon Kingdom is united now?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Whether we are united or not, Your Majesty is so intelligent, you should already have the answer in your heart."
Lin Youxian was shocked.
Gu Jian's simple sentence made her feel that he was unfathomable.
As a clever empress, how could Lin Youxian not know what those people were doing in secret?
However, the goal was simply to capture them all at once.
Lin Youxian glanced at Gu Jian again and said, "Du Dafu, I underestimated you."
"I take back what I just said. You are not a ridiculous person, so don't take it to heart."
Gu Jian smiled; how could he not take it to heart?
As someone destined to become the Great Demon King, he had even planned out the posture he would use when punishing Lin Youxian.
But he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am not a petty person. I will not blame Your Majesty."
"Um!"
Lin Youxian nodded, believing that he wouldn't dare blame her.
Lin Youxian pondered for a moment, then said, "If we form an alliance with the Myriad Demon Kingdom and unite with the entire Other Shore Demon Kingdom, we can conquer this human realm, right?"
Gu Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, as I just said, alliances and unity are only the first step. They can also make the Other Shore Demon Kingdom invincible."
"The most important thing, of course, is to defeat the Ancient Kingdom of Demon Dragons."
"The Ancient Kingdom of Demon Dragons may seem powerful, but as far as I know, the various Demon Dragon Kings within it are not united."
"At that time, Your Majesty only needs to use a little trick to sow discord among the Dragon Kings, and you will be able to cause chaos in the Ancient Dragon Kingdom."
"If given the chance, assassinating the emperor of the Demon Dragon Kingdom would surely cause the Demon Dragon Kingdom to fall apart."
"At that time, the Demon Kingdom of the Other Shore and the Demon Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons will split their forces and strike at the heart of the matter, and will surely be able to divide up the entire Ancient Demon Dragon Kingdom."
"Of course, this is the second step of the plan. Before we begin, it's best to get the first step right..."
Gu Jian continued his narration incessantly.
Empress Lin Youxian's beautiful eyes grew brighter and brighter.
As empress, she had an intelligence network in the Ancient Kingdom of Demon Dragons.
She knew that the various dragon kings in the Ancient Dragon Kingdom were not united.
Because the power of the Ancient Dragon Kingdom was too great, she had not previously had a detailed plan to conquer the human realm.
Empress Lin Youxian had no intention of sowing discord between them.
Now it seems...
The person in front of me has a very good plan.
Lin Youxian gradually came to understand the meaning of "the best strategy is to subdue the enemy without fighting."
However, Lin Youxian also felt some wariness and suspicion.
The person in front of me is so intelligent, why have I never heard of him before?
In any case.
He was, after all, a human being, a man of the Zhou Kingdom!
The demon kingdom on the other side destroyed the Zhou kingdom.
As a scholar, how could he not harbor hatred for the demon kingdom on the other side of the river?
Or did he not have any intention of restoring the Zhou state?
