Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 802 Two birds with one stone

Lu Hao is a complete atheist and does not believe in the Ancestral Temple at all.

However, the Qianyuan Continent was still in a feudal social system. The royal families of various countries valued the ancestral temples, the ancestral system, and the ancestral rituals most.

Lu Hao burned the Ancestral Temple of the Zheng clan. Firstly, he wanted to pull General Fan into the chariot. Secondly, he also wanted to provoke Zheng Yuanjie, the leader of the Zheng Kingdom, to see if he would lead an army to attack Dingcheng?

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
"Meet the king!"

Prime Minister Ling Zhongxian of the State of Zheng and Minister of War Huang Zhengming bowed to the Lord of the State of Zheng at the same time.

"Two dear friends, Lu Hao burned down my ancestral temple. I want to take charge of the expedition myself. Kill this devil! Kill this tyrant!"

Zheng Yuanjie said coldly.

He had calmed down a lot now. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked the two adults straight to the point.

"The lord must not!"

The Prime Minister immediately stood up and objected.

"What's wrong? I have an army of 30 people. Isn't it possible that I can't take down the small Ding City?"

Zheng Yuanjie really wanted to kill Lu Hao now.

"Master, please don't be impulsive. This is Lu Hao's trick. He just wants us to give up the strong city wall, and then he can catch us all."

Huang Zhengming persuaded loudly.

"Your Majesty, calm down! This is just Lu Hao's way of provoking generals. Your Majesty, please don't be fooled!"

Ling Zhongxian quickly agreed.

"However, the ancestral temple is the foundation of our Zheng family. Now it has been burned down by that despicable villain Lu Hao. I have no face to face the ancestors of the Zheng family! I am the sinner of the Zheng family!"

Zheng Yuanjie was heartbroken and beat his chest in anger.

"My Lord, this is a critical moment for the survival of the Zheng Kingdom. You must calm down! Don't fall into Lu Hao's tricks!"

Ling Zhongxian was extremely anxious, fearing that Zheng Yuanjie would fall into Lu Hao's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain.

They now rely on the strong walls of Xunyang City and the rich defensive materials in the city to barely compete with the Chinese Empire. If they leave this city and face the rifles of the Chinese Empire, they will definitely lose.

Therefore, they must not let Zheng Yuanjie lead the army to attack, lest they lose their last advantage.

"Lu Hao is a master-level expert. Even if you lead an army to defeat the Chinese Empire's army, Lu Hao can still escape. No one can stop him. The king must think twice!"

Huang Zhengming persuaded loudly.

"Since he is a master-level expert? Then I will ask a master-level expert to kill him!"

Zheng Yuanjie's eyes flashed with cold light, and murderous intent emerged.

"My Lord, there is no need to worry. The King of Zhou has already sent people to the Guangming Sect to ask for the high priest. As long as the high priest takes action, killing Lu Hao will be easy."

Ling Zhongxian quickly added.

"Master, if the King of Zhou comes forward, the Guangming Cult will definitely send people. As long as Lu Hao is dead, the Chinese Empire's army will no longer be afraid."

Huang Zhengming was extremely happy.

"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, why didn't you tell me when you were in the court? And why did you satisfy me?"

Zheng Yuanjie asked in a deep voice.

"My lord, there are many people in the court talking. If Lu Hao knew that the high priest was coming, he would definitely take precautions in advance. If he escapes, the gain will outweigh the loss."

Ling Zhongxian explained with a grimace.

"Well, what you said makes sense. There are already many officials in the court who want to surrender. If they tip off the news, Lu Hao might escape."

Zheng Yuanjie nodded slightly, feeling that the Prime Minister was right.

"Master, since the King of Zhou has gone to invite the great priest, we will bear with it for the time being and settle the accounts with Lu Hao then!"

Huang Zhengming persuaded again.

"But I heard that the Great Priest of Guangming has been in seclusion. Will he come out of seclusion just for Lu Hao?" Zheng Yuanjie frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"My Lord, there is no need to worry. It is said that there are several master-level experts under the Guangming Sect. Even if the great priest does not take action and just sends a few master-level experts randomly, it should be enough to defeat Lu Hao."

Ling Zhongxian explained with a smile.

"Yes, it is said that the great priest has several master-level priests under his command. Just two of them, it shouldn't be too difficult to kill Lu Hao, right?"

Huang Zhengming also echoed.

"You are right. Since someone is dealing with Lu Hao, we don't have to rush. You continue to deploy defenses and make Xunyang City impregnable."

Zheng Yuanjie finally suppressed his anger and calmed down.

Although the burning of the ancestral temple was painful in his heart, it was nothing compared to the subjugation of the country.

The current plan is to find more powerful masters so that they can fight against the Chinese Empire.

On the other side, the masters sent by King Zhou had arrived at Guangmingding, the westernmost point of the Western Region, and formally invited the Guangming Cult to deal with Lu Hao.

In fact, after the last time the Guangming Cult's protective priest Ling Shitong was killed by Lu Hao, the Guangming Cult got the news and immediately held an emergency meeting.

However, the high priest has been in seclusion. Who will the Light Religion send to deal with Lu Hao?It seems that there was no internal consensus, which led to the matter being shelved.

This time, the King of Zhou sent someone to bring this matter to the forefront. The Guangming Sect will definitely send someone to take action. As for who to send, I don't know.

……

The small town of Dingcheng fell into an unprecedented carnival tonight.

Under the temptation of money, General Fan and other soldiers have now followed Emperor Yongtai with all their heart.

On this carnival night, a carriage drove into Ding City and headed towards the square.

"Your Majesty, the ninth princess is here."

General Zhou Yuan came in a hurry and reported in a low voice.

"Ninth Princess, what is she here for?"

Lu Hao was drinking and felt that this girl was definitely going to cause trouble when she came.

There was no other way. He had people burn down all the Zheng clan's ancestral temples. Can the Ninth Princess not cause trouble for him?

"Your Majesty, see you or not?"

General Zhou Yuan obviously saw this.

If Lu Hao didn't want to see the Ninth Princess, then she would arrange for the princess to stay outside first, so that she would not see the ashes of the Ancestral Temple. Then she would cry, make trouble, and hang herself, which would not be fun.

Lu Hao was obviously thinking about this issue as well. He frowned and muttered: "Sooner or later, she will know. Let her come over."

"Ok."

General Zhou Yuan turned around and left.

Soon, a carriage drove into the square, and the ninth princess got out of the carriage.

When she saw the ashes of the Ancestral Temple, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth and rushed towards Lu Hao angrily.

"Lu Hao, how could you, a despicable person like you, burn down our Zheng family's ancestral temple?"

The Ninth Princess yelled loudly.

"Shut up! If I don't see that you are a woman, I will shoot you!"

Lu Hao shouted coldly.

"Then kill! Kill me! This princess is not afraid of you!"

The Ninth Princess rushed to him angrily, grabbed his clothes, and shook him hard.
