Da Qin.

 Chao Hui.

 The atmosphere was solemn.

 Since the news of Zhou's attack on Luo'an Mansion came back, the court meeting has been going on all day long without adjourning.

 The expressions on everyone’s faces are very ugly.

“I was originally curious about where the barbarians got the confidence to attack our Dahuang Mansion, but I didn’t expect that the barbarians actually colluded with Da Zhou. Well, very good!”

 Gu Xuanji laughed angrily.

 The sound shook the hall, like a volcano about to erupt, making everyone feel heavy-hearted.

 Soon.

 His eyes fell on Dongfang Zhao.

"The Suppressing Demon Division had no information about the barbarian collusion with the Zhou Dynasty. Now that several cities in Luo'an Prefecture have been destroyed, and more than 100,000 troops died in the battle, how can the Suppressing Demon Division explain this matter?"

 A sudden attack.

 The civil and military officials all looked startled, and then their eyes towards Dongfang Zhao became interesting.

  For them.

 The Demon Suppressor is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of himself and others, and he doesn’t know when it will be cut off.

The intelligence work of Tianchawei is even more pervasive.

 Over the years.

Many ministers were dismissed because of the Tianchawei's intelligence, and then their families were confiscated and exterminated by the Demon Suppressor.

Although the Demon Suppressing Division also has the responsibility to protect the Qin Dynasty, evil spirits have been rampant over the years, and it is only because of the Demon Suppressing Division that there have been no problems.

but.

This does not stop them from wanting to see the Demon Suppressor suppressed.

After all, the power of the Suppressing Demon Division is indeed too strong now. Many ministers do not dare to go against the Demon Suppressing Division. If one party can be suppressed, it will also give others a breather.

 Faced with questioning.

 Dongfang Zhao had already anticipated this.

I saw him stepping out of the queue, holding his hands, and replied with a calm expression.

“Your Majesty, the Suppressing Demon Division has been investigating the forces behind the barbarians. It was only because of the secret exchange between the two parties that the Suppressing Demon Division was not aware of it. However, the Suppressing Demon Division had already sent people to sneak into Da Zhou.

If Zhou Dynasty had not attacked in advance, news would come back from Tianchawei in a few days.

 Besides, the one-month period originally given by His Majesty has not ended yet.”

 Speaking of which.

 Dongfang Zhao just stopped talking.

at this time.

Taishi Wenqiu came out, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has allocated a lot of resources to the Demon Suppression Division over the years, but whether it was the barbarian invasion of Dahuang Mansion or the Great Zhou invasion of Luo'an Mansion, the Demon Suppression Division was not aware of it at all.

, causing heavy losses to the army.

In my opinion, the responsibility of the Demon Suppressor cannot be shied away from."

"good."

 Fu Yan also nodded, with a calm expression.

“The Suppressing Demon Division enjoys the resources of the imperial court, so it is natural that it should shoulder its due responsibilities. Dongfang Guards, this matter is indeed the fault of the Suppressing Demon Division.”

 When the two of them opened their mouths, they took the lead.

  Suddenly.

 Many civil servants spoke out one after another, blaming the Demon Suppressor.

 Dongfang Zhao lowered his eyelids and had no intention of arguing.

  Long time.

Gu Xuanji waved his hand to signal them to shut up, and then looked at Dongfang Zhao.

 “Do you have anything else you want to say, Dongfang Guard?”

“The Demon Suppressor does have some responsibilities regarding this matter, please forgive me, Your Majesty!”

“Although the Suppressing Demon Division has paid a lot for Great Qin over the years, due to state-owned national laws, the Suppressing Demon Division has defaulted on its responsibilities in this matter. I will not punish it. Starting today, the resources of the Suppressing Demon Division will be reduced by half for the next three years.

 Do you have any objection to this?"

 “I have no objection!”

 Dongfang Zhao bowed to accept the order.

 Having resources cut in half may seem like a heavy punishment, but in fact it is already a big blow to the Demon Suppressor.

However.

 In the eyes of others, Gu Xuanji's punishment is nothing at all.

 At most, it is just a reduction in resources, and it has not harmed the Demon Suppressor at all.

 Seeing that Dongfang Zhao has retreated again.

Gu Xuanji said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty attacked Luo'an Mansion. At present, Luo'an Mansion is dominated by the Feifeng Army. Although the Feifeng Army is strong, it is still somewhat insufficient to face the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty alone.

 Therefore, I believe that we should fully support Luo'an Mansion from now on, and we must not let the Great Perimeter drive straight in."

 Speaking of which.

 He looked at the leader of the generals and said in a deep voice.

 “Yan Jing!”

 “I’m here!”

A tall, burly, one-eyed middle-aged man came out of the queue, his voice hoarse like gold and iron rubbing against each other.

"I order you to lead 800,000 Canglong troops and 1.2 million troops to Luo'an Mansion for support, without any mistake!"

 “I obey your orders!”

Yan Jing bowed and accepted the order.

 Eight hundred thousand Canglong Army!

 1.2 million troops!

In this way, the imperial court supported Luo'an Prefecture's two million troops at once. When it supported Dahuang Prefecture, it only dispatched hundreds of thousands of Huolin troops.

It can be seen from this.

  Gu Xuanji valued the Zhou Dynasty many times more than he did the barbarians.

"in addition!"

 Guxuanji looks to Dongfang Zhao.

"This time the Great Zhou attacked Luo'an Mansion, it was well prepared. There are many strong men in the Great Zhou. The two million army alone may not be able to withstand the attack of the Great Zhou. Therefore, I hope that the Suppressing Demon Division will also send some powerful troops.

Those who follow each other.

 How many strong people from the Demon Suppression Division are still left in the capital?"

"Your Majesty, the Demon Suppressing Division currently has only two guardians, Chen and Zhou Yuanzheng. In addition, there are no demon slayers of earth-level and above who are performing tasks, only about thirteen people."

 Dongfang Zhao responded truthfully.

The thirteen demon slayers of earth level and above represent the thirteen masters.

 Gu Xuanji nodded slightly.

“We are over at Qianxin Pavilion. How much power can we use now?”

Qianxin Pavilion

Dongfang Zhao pondered for a moment: "Qianxin Pavilion does not have much power at its disposal right now. There are probably only a dozen or so masters left in the Wuge Pavilion. If the imperial court needs it, they can be sent out with the army.

However, there are not many manpower available for the Suppressing Evil Pavilion and the Demon-Sealing Pavilion, and the Demon-Suppressing Prison and the Demon-Sealing Tower also need maintenance at all times."

"Um."

 Gu Xuanji nodded.

He also understood what Dongfang Zhao said.

“As for the Cabinet, forget it, there is no need to use the Cabinet, let them stay there with peace of mind.”

 Shaked his head.

 Gu Xuanji immediately gave the order.
