Chapter 354: The Frontier of the Underworld
(Two chapters in one)
"You...... How did you end up here? Barnett stared at the old man with surprise on his face, and he could never have imagined that he would see this disgraced guy here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Strange, you can be here, why can't I be here?" I don't have the strength to ask.
"Of course I can, but you...... You ......" Barnett said instinctively, but he couldn't say any more, for the simple reason that it was because of his monarch.
Being able to sit at the same table as the Sovereign and dine is a self-evident answer.
Barnett thinks about it now, indeed, this man said that he was going to find the monarch, but he didn't take it to heart at the time, who ever thought that it was all true, and the relationship didn't seem to be ordinary.
"Barnett, I didn't expect you to know each other, I'm curious, how did you know my brother?" Saint Feihan's eyes narrowed, and he looked at Barnett with a smile.
The monarch would call each other brother!?
Barnett trembled in his heart, and then sat on the chair opposite nervously at the signal of St. Feihan, but he didn't know how to explain it for a while, and his face was very embarrassed.
He didn't know, in fact, his monarch had already known what happened in the ring, and it was intentional to ask this, after all, Sheng Feihan knew this subordinate too well, and after suffering such a big loss, he must be looking for an opportunity to save face, rather than secretly doing something out of the ordinary, but harming himself, it is better for him to say it himself now and put the matter on the bright side.
Including calling him over, all of this was thought out by Sheng Feihan a long time ago, and it was also to save the life of his loyal subordinate before the situation changed.
As for whether the other party can understand his painstaking efforts, it depends on his own creation.
In the end, Barnett still couldn't resist the offensive of Saint Feihan's eyes, and told the cause of the incident as it was, but he didn't dare to add a word to it.
He is not stupid, how can he not see the relationship between Sheng Feihan and Lao Boxing, it must not be simple.
"I see." Saint Feihan smiled slightly when he heard this, "It's not a big deal, my brother and I hit it off at first sight, this matter is over, don't take it to heart you kid, it's all a misunderstanding, and when you go back, the monarch will order someone to reissue you the medals you 'lost', after all, those are what you deserve." ”
Barnett was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly stood up from the chair, respectfully bowed to Sheng Feihan, and said with sincere fear: "How can Barnett be so appreciated, thanks to the sovereign's appreciation, as long as you say a word, your subordinates are willing to go to the soup and fire, and they will not hesitate!" ”
"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter, nothing to worry about." Sheng Feihan waved his hand indifferently, and his smile looked so kind.
"Yes!"
Barnett hurriedly responded, but he didn't sit back immediately, but looked at Lao Bo with an extremely complicated expression, clasped his hands into fists, and said apologetically: "Boss, it was Barnett who was too impulsive and offended a lot, and he still looked at Haihan!" ”
The words have come to this point, and the monarch has agreed to reissue the medal, Barnett really doesn't know what else to mind, and even if he is given a hundred guts, I am afraid that he will not dare to think of anything more to take revenge.
"Have you sinned against me? How come I don't remember? The old bored asked strangely.
Barnett was stunned, although what he said didn't sound like a joke, he still didn't think much about it, and respectfully clenched his fists again, thinking that the other party had forgiven him.
Sometimes it's so wonderful, before I came, I swore that I was going to sue for revenge, but now it has become a completely different situation, which can only be said to be a creation and a trick.
It's good that I didn't really do anything, otherwise it would be tantamount to digging my own grave.
After a meal, Saint Feihan finally got to the point, looked at Barnett and said, "Barnett, there are two things that this monarch has come to you today, the first thing is about the selection of women in Soul City, do you know?" ”
"I don't know much about this lowly position." Barnett shook his head.
At that moment, Sheng Feihan simply said what he had learned from Lao Wuji's mouth, "This matter will be handled by you, there is no problem, right?" ”
"Rest assured, Lord Sovereign, this matter is guaranteed to be completed! We will definitely not let this kind of thing that has lost our conscience behind our backs continue! Barnett exclaimed, a cold glint in his eyes.
The main military power of Shangsoul City is in the hands of another marshal, and Barnett has long been tired of the other party, and has never had a chance to bring him down, and now with the order of the monarch, he has increased his confidence.
Saint Feihan nodded, obviously still attached great importance to Barnett's efficiency, and then continued: "The second thing is the tribute to the underworld on the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, and I plan to leave it to you to be responsible, is there a problem?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Barnett's expression was obviously shocked, and he looked at Sheng Feihan with disbelief on his face, but he quickly reacted, stood up straight, and said loudly: "No problem!" ”
"Well, this is a matter of life and death for our Holy Soul Empire, remember to deliver the tribute safely within the specified time, and there must be no mistakes!"
"Yes! Mission completion guaranteed! ”
Barnett's heart was excited, and the matter of handing over the tribute to the underworld was a shocking secret to ordinary people, but to him, it was not a secret.
In previous years, the head of their eight generalissimos was responsible for this kind of major affairs alone, but he didn't expect it to fall on him this year, so that he could get close to the mysterious and unparalleled Underworld, and this honor alone made Barnett excited.
I secretly swore that I must do a good job, and I must not let down the hard work of the monarch.
Without waiting for Barnett to ask more, Sheng Feihan glanced at the old bored on the side, intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at the former, and said in a solemn tone: "But among the hundred tributes, you can only choose ninety-eight, and the remaining two monarchs have their own plans, understand?" ”
Although he was puzzled, Sheng Feihan didn't say anything, and Barnett didn't dare to ask more, so he nodded his head in understanding.
After learning more about some special matters, Barnett respectfully withdrew from the dining hall with the secret decree written by St. Feiham himself.
"Sheng Feihan, are you sure this kid can be trusted?" The Cretaceous glanced coldly at Sheng Feihan, frowning slightly, it was obvious that the Cretaceous was not optimistic about Barnett.
"Don't worry, he looks unreliable on the surface, and he is a little happy, but he really works hard to do something, which I firmly believe, you can rest assured." Sheng Feihan smiled lightly with great grace.
Lao Wuxing asked curiously: "Xiao Feihan, I remember you said that you used to be the first marshal's little pot friend in charge of this matter, why don't you continue to let him be in charge?" ”
Sheng Feihan was obviously used to being bored with his magical name, so he didn't care, but his expression was a little gloomy.
The reason is very simple, according to the information he received, he suspected that the first marshal of the empire, the subordinate he had trusted the most, deliberately rebelled, and such an important matter, of course, could not be handed over to the other party, so he chose Barnett separately.
In this regard, Lao Wujin and Cretaceous don't care either, it has nothing to do with them.
And looking at the meaning of Sheng Feihan, he is also in control, and he will not intervene in anything.
Time passed in a hurry, and ten days later, a team of 100 people in dozens of black cars left the Holy Soul City in a mighty way, and set off towards the mysterious Underworld City, led by none other than Barnett.
The distance and time were calculated, and they arrived at their destination on the 27th day of the lunar month.
Barnett himself drove a black sedan, while Old Dullness and Cretaceous sat in the car.
The convoy had been on the road for half a day, but as the person in charge of the operation, Barnett was still a little incredulous, and he never thought that Lao Bo and Cretaceous would actually embark on the journey with him as a tribute.
He had just learned about it today, and it really shocked him, and according to the meaning of the monarch Saint Feihan, it must be kept absolutely secret, although Barnett was curious in his heart, he did not dare to slack off.
Barnett couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked while driving: "Senior brother, I don't really understand, with your strength, what is this for?" ”
An existence that can easily defeat itself, but wants to go to the underworld as a tribute, and even the monarch agrees, and there is no reason for it, even he himself will not believe it.
Cretaceous wanted to say don't ask what you shouldn't ask, but Lao Wuxing took the lead and said: "Find someone, by the way, see what is strange about this underworld." ”
Barnett was stunned for a moment, and wanted to continue to ask, but the Cretaceous did not give him this opportunity, and he could only hold it in his heart at the moment.
The convoy traveled for a whole day before stopping in place for rest.
Eat and eat, rest and rest, and after five hours the convoy continues to depart.
A day later, when the convoy reached a Grand Canyon, the vehicle was no longer able to pass, which was also planned, and everyone got out of the car and walked into the mist-shrouded Grand Canyon.
From time to time, the roar of the beast can be heard in the canyon, combined with the silence and coldness around it, giving people an extremely eerie feeling.
On this trip, in addition to the 100 tributes that Lao Wujin was waiting for, there were also 50 imperial soldiers led by Barnett, and everyone's faces were not only nervous, but also had excitement that could not be dissolved.
After all, being able to see or enter the city of Hades is simply too tempting for most people.
After a day of walking through the Grand Canyon and on the grasslands, we finally arrived at the destination.
Borderlands of the Underworld!
A deserted wilderness, very close to the city of the underworld, as far as the eye can see, you can vaguely see a magnificent huge city wall, exuding indescribable majesty.
At this moment, around them, there were already more than a hundred imperial teams gathered here, obviously all of them had traveled thousands of miles to pay tribute to the underworld.
Here, even the rival empires do not dare to have the slightest conflict, after all, this is already the territory of the underworld, and no one dares to make trouble here unless it is too long.
Everyone knew that according to the rules of the underworld, they could not continue to move forward when they arrived here, and when the time came, a messenger from the underworld would come and take the tribute away, and all they had to do now was wait.
"Senior brother, although I don't know why you entered the Underworld as a tribute, I believe that the Sovereign must have his own reasons, and I firmly believe in this!" Barnett looked at the old man seriously, and his tone was firm.
"It's best if you could think so." Old nodded tiredly.
In this regard, Barnett could only shake his head bitterly.
Two hours passed quietly, and at this moment, ten figures suddenly appeared in the sky in the distance, speeding towards the hundred countries at an unimaginable speed.
"It's the messenger of the underworld!"
"What a terrible coercion! It's really the city of the underworld! ”
"Let's hope everything goes well."
The ten figures, even if they were still far away, had already given countless people extremely terrifying and astonishing pressure, making most people's faces change at the same time, and their hearts were pounding, but they were also very excited.
The expressions of Lao Wujin and the Cretaceous master and servant remained the same, just watching quietly like this.
In a few breaths, ten majestic figures stopped in the air five hundred meters in front of them, looking down at the hundreds of countries below.
There is no need for any opening remarks, after seeing this scene, all the empires moved, and the hundred people who were tributes marched forward at the same time, as for those who accompanied them, although they were unwilling, they could only turn around and leave, this is a rule that has always been cultivated, and no one dares to break it.
"Senior brother, senior Bai, Barnett really hopes that the two seniors can have smooth sailing, so don't say goodbye!" Barnett hugged his fist at Lao Wujin and Cretaceous, his face was extremely solemn, and he was deeply jealous of the ten messengers of the underworld.
"Hmm. Remember to help me tell Xiao Feihan that maybe it won't be long before we go back, and don't forget to get more good food and drink when the time comes. "It's boring.
“…… Hehe, don't worry, Barnett will definitely bring it! It means that it is really difficult to get used to the title of Xiao Feihan, but at least it sounds a lot better than "Little Pot Friend".
Don't say goodbye, the master and servant didn't hesitate any longer, and walked quickly in the direction of the ten envoys of the underworld with the other tributes of the Holy Soul Empire.
Seeing this, one of the purple-haired men took the lead in turning around, and the other nine followed, heading back directly in the direction of the underworld, without saying a word from beginning to end.
Seeing this, a lot of doubts arose in his heart, and he didn't hesitate at all, and between his feet, the person was already like a light flying into the air, and many people who saw it were amazed.
After all, only when you reach the realm of the imperial soul can you fly in the sky, but I didn't expect that there would be the existence of the realm of the imperial soul in the tribute team, which was really a bit unexpected.
However, when they heard what the cool-looking bald figure said next, their jaws almost dropped, and their eyes were full of shock.
"Hello friends of the envoys of the underworld, my name is old and boring, you can just call me brother. said, "When Lao Wurong appeared, he was already in front of ten people, looked at them with a puzzled face, and said seriously: "Why don't you say a word, are you all dumb?" ”
The sound is like thunder, and the flat ground explodes!
Everyone, the complexion has changed dramatically!
