Demon, don't come any closer!

Chapter 52 The True Old People of Dai Viet

Lang County, county government office.

Sun Shou wore a long, jet-black robe, which concealed his appearance.

In front of everyone, Sun Shou directly lifted his black robe, revealing his true appearance.

All eyes were fixed on Sun Shou. Xiang Jielong sat upright and silent, but if you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were now filled with confusion.

The ancient Yue kingdom has been extinct for countless years, and now, just a piece of news has brought forth so many former inhabitants of the ancient Yue.

Sun Shou, as a prefectural commandant, already held a high-ranking position, and it was no exaggeration to say that he had been favored by the emperor for generations.

It's unbelievable that a mere rebellion in two counties would lead a high-ranking military commander to surrender so readily.

Don't you know that it's extremely difficult to become an official to this level?

If the overall situation had already been settled after the war, that would be one thing, but the war hadn't even started yet! Why are they being so high-profile? Aren't they afraid that the news will leak and they'll be killed by Huangfu Deguang?

Xiang Jielong discovered that his own beliefs, which had been held for so many years, had been severely damaged in a short period of time and were already showing signs of collapse.

Sun Shou's expression was solemn, and the three-point smugness in his eyes had vanished the moment he saw the white ape sword attendant at the door.

Sun Shou recognized this contingent of Dao soldiers from Da Yue, which revealed that some of the former Da Yue citizens had already made contact with Dou Changsheng. This caused Sun Shou to lose his sense of superiority.

They thought that their support for Dou Changsheng was his lifeline, and that without them Dou Changsheng would surely lose. But they never expected that they would not be helping him in his time of need, but rather adding to his already good fortune.

Dou Changsheng is more capable and more mysterious than imagined.

I wonder which faction is backing Dou Changsheng?

The most suspicious one is that old white ape. It is a saint among demons, equivalent to a peerless expert of the first rank of martial arts in the human realm.

Or perhaps it was that legendary Yue woman who, after helping the Great Yue conquer Wu, resigned and left.

These two are the most suspicious because they are related to the White Ape Sword Servant. After all, neither of them has ever perished. The former is a demon with a long lifespan, while the latter is half-human and half-demon, making him an extremely special being.

I thought that Da Yue was just a name, a symbol in books, but I never expected that there would actually be remnants and former subordinates. Thinking about it, it's not surprising. Da Yue has existed for 38,000 years, which is a very long time. No one knows how many contingents exist.

At this moment, Sun Shou couldn't help but have a distorted thought. He originally thought that he would use this opportunity to put on the skin of Dayue, start to jump off the sinking ship of Da Chu, and look for opportunities to get in touch with Da Qin to take his career to the next level. He never expected that Dayue had great potential and that he could still climb higher.

If they truly gain the favor of the powerful figures of Great Yue, and accumulate more capital to invest in Qin in the future, they will certainly be valued even more.

Yes, Sun Shouxin always intended to serve Qin.

The Qin dynasty's conquest of the six states was a foregone conclusion; in the future, the entire human realm would belong to the Qin.

Dou Changsheng was very satisfied with the way everyone was looking at him, which was why he immediately took out the White Ape Sword Servant instead of keeping it as a trump card.

Without the White Ape Sword Servant, everyone would look down on Dou Changsheng, each with their own agenda, treating him as a puppet of the Great Qin. Now, with the support of the mysterious and unpredictable ancient Yue people, they are all intimidated and no longer dare to underestimate Dou Changsheng.

However, at this moment, Dou Changsheng even doubted whether he had a destiny.

Everything went too smoothly.

After the fall of Lin County, first, the fierce tiger brought in a troop of Taoist soldiers, and then Sun Shou, representing many forces in the county, surrendered. The Fire Crow Army, which was originally a deadly threat, is now insignificant.

The current priority is not how to defeat the Fire Raven Army, but to achieve victory with minimal cost and then take control of this Fire Raven Army.

This made Dou Changsheng glance at Xiang Jielong. This man mainly cultivated fire-based martial arts, and Dou Changsheng had personally experienced the power of the twelve-foot-long Fire-Tipped Spear. He was the most suitable person to take charge of the Fire Crow Army, and would bring him a powerful army of Dao soldiers in a short time.

Sun Shou's audacity stemmed from the sheer number of supporters he had.

They even planned to stay in one place, simply waiting for the prefect to leave.

After the casual conversation, he got straight to the point: "Do you want to defeat Huangfu Deguang?"

"Does Lord Sun have a brilliant plan?"

Sun Shou said frankly, "This is extremely simple; there's no need for a decisive battle at Fenglaikou."

"As long as we invite Huangfu Deguang to a meeting in Lin Fangmin's name, we can attack him together."

The method is simple and straightforward, without any fancy tricks, and has a 1,000% success rate. It's impossible to tell how they could lose, because the entire coastal prefecture is now inhabited by people from Da Yue.

They came too easily; they would have sold themselves out even more easily.

Sun Shou's words earned Dou Changsheng's praise, with one flattering remark after another. However, Dou Changsheng had already begun to fear them. He then realized that the Great Yue had no right to fear important officials.

To put it bluntly, even if they cut themselves a few times, as long as they are willing to surrender to Dai Viet, they are all loyal subjects of Dai Viet, loyal to the extreme.

As the saying goes, as long as the expansion is fast enough and the forces are diverse enough, they will be inseparable from their King of Yue. As long as they keep winning, they will be the most loyal subjects.

There's no need for any balancing of forces or cultivating your own people.

Therefore, Dou Changsheng accepts all comers, regardless of their power or background. As long as they dare to invest, Dou Changsheng will take them in.

After some discussion, they devised a plan to lure Huangfu Deguang out of the military camp and then swarm him to his death.

Sun Shou came and went in a hurry, and has already begun preparations. Today is the last day of reorganization, mainly to wait for the arrival of the Spirit Clan. Tomorrow, they will send troops to Fenglaikou, kill Huangfu Deguang, and then take advantage of the situation to enter the county city and completely occupy the county.

The difference in influence between a county and a prefecture is like heaven and earth.

Once this step is reached, the formal sacrificial ceremony can be held to declare the restoration of Dai Viet.

Once the ferocious tiger returns, Dou Changsheng will also need to prepare to build a demon army. Trying to break the deadlock and conquer cities and territories will only lead to a quick death. After this reward, Dou Changsheng suddenly realized that every transmigrator still needs to rely on the system to turn their life around.

Thump thump thump! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

The continuous knocking interrupted Dou Changsheng's thoughts.

Looking up, I could see a woman pushing open the door and entering.

With a three-foot-long sword on her back and flowing black hair, she is now the only woman in the upper echelons of Da Gao.

Sun Duxiu, a member of the Sun family of Xingzhou, served as the deputy commander of the Jinyu Guard.

Dou Changsheng's gaze deepened. This person who took the initiative to come to his door must be someone of extraordinary status.

Sun Duxiu closed the door, affixed a ninth-grade talisman, and watched as the light spread continuously, isolating sounds from both inside and outside, before slowly speaking: "Sun Duxiu, Commander of the Great Yue Ghost Tribe, pays respects to Your Majesty!"

Everyone's showing off, whether they're human or ghost.

I knew my Great Yue was no ordinary country, after all, it was nicknamed the Little Seven Kingdoms, no, the Little Demon Court.

The abundance of talented people is truly commendable!
