Chapter 654: Lack of Manpower

Nie Jinglong hurriedly returned and reported the latest progress to His Majesty.

Emperor Shang listened to those cumbersome and protracted reports, and gradually frowned.

"You guys are in there, you're busy with some useless things all day long, how many days have passed, haven't you found the 'huge light curtain' that Tu Shifang and they confessed?"

Seeing that His Majesty was angry, Nie Jinglong hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, in the past few days, we have suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the warriors who entered the mysterious space were killed, and only three people appeared in a safe area when they entered, and they did not encounter an attack, so they survived." So far, we have not found a safe and reliable way to go deep into the mountains to find the 'giant light curtain'. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Shang's temples on both sides of his forehead throbbed vigorously a few times, and he could even feel that something in his head was gently bursting open.

Emperor Shang felt slightly dizzy, and he hurriedly closed his eyes to recuperate himself, while also suppressing his anger.

Whenever something didn't go his way, he would feel a headache, and he could still hear something popping in his ears, but when he listened intently, he found that nothing had happened.

After asking the imperial doctor, even the Hua Shi of Longxiang Yuan invited him to diagnose it, but no one was conclusive, and in the end, he could only rely on the methods he had figured out to relieve his headache and dizziness.

Emperor Shang slowed down for a while, and Nie Jinglong was worried for a while, he quietly lowered his head and stayed, for fear that the slightest movement would cause His Majesty to be dissatisfied.

Emperor Shang slowly opened his eyes, and there was a deep tiredness hidden in the depths of his gaze, but on his surface, it was still a manifestation of energy.

"Tu Shifang, they can find that 'huge light curtain', why can't you even enter the mountains and forests? The three of them all survived safely, why did you lose so many manpower?!" Emperor Shang was in a bad mood, his body was uncomfortable, his temper came up, and he was not so tolerant of Nie Jinglong.

Nie Jinglong felt bitter in his heart, what realm strength did Xia Yi and the three of them have, and what kind of realm strength did they have under their own gang? Moreover, they also had Li Xingtong, who was very sensitive, as a guide, and they were able to successfully avoid the sneak attack and invasion of those spirits, but his subordinates couldn't, and many people were sluggish until they died without knowing that they were being invaded and possessed by spirits.

The strength of the two sides is not comparable at all, so what's the point of such a comparison?!

However, Nie Jinglong could only mutter these words silently in his heart, and he didn't dare to say them casually in front of His Majesty, so he could only obediently bow his head and confess his guilt.

Emperor Shang had enough of listening to the quibbles of these courtiers when they did not complete their tasks, and had any reason, and gave them time, and they could even say these reasons at length. But in Emperor Shang's heart, someone did it before, but you couldn't do it, this is your mistake, who will you punish if you don't punish you?

Emperor Shang bent the five fingers of his left hand slightly, gently supported his head, his eyes were slightly closed, and his left hand waved vigorously, signaling Nie Jinglong to stop quibbling.

"I don't care if you have it or not, I won't set a time for you, but you'd better find that 'huge light curtain' for me as soon as possible, and if you find it, you will be guilty!" Emperor Shang supported his head with his left hand and shook his head slightly, as if this would make the headache slightly lessen.

Nie Jinglong felt bitter in his heart, it was difficult for them to even enter the mountains and forests now, how could they go about finding the "huge light curtain"? Everyone was dead, and they might not be able to find the right direction. classic

Emperor Shang raised his index finger in his right hand, lightly pointed at Nie Jinglong, and said to him: "If you can't do it well, I'll change someone to do it, you should have heard it clearly just now, Hu Wei is trying to enter the mysterious space to investigate, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer as soon as possible, I will hand over this matter to Hu Wei to do!"

Nie Jinglong's face changed greatly, and the tiger guards were embarrassed, if they robbed him of his merits, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of everyone?

Nie Jinglong hurriedly bowed his head and pleaded: "Your Majesty, you can't help it! We, Eagle Guard, have been in charge of this task for a long time, and we know the most about this place, and it is up to us to investigate to ensure that the progress will not be disrupted!"

"You haven't been accepting it for long, if they have any trouble, you just go and explain it to them, so that it won't be easy to make the handover successful. Emperor Shang took out the attitude that Nie Jinglong was most worried about, if it was not completed well, they Eagle Guard would go to help Tiger Guard.

Then the Eagle Guard will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life!

Nie Jinglong understood that His Majesty was really angry, and he didn't dare to take chances anymore, thinking about that dangerous and mysterious space, he mustered up the courage to learn from Zhu Qingshen, and also began to ask Emperor Shang for someone.

"Your Majesty! Our Eagle Guard is also seriously injured now, please ask Your Majesty to give us more manpower, and we can also arrange manpower to study how to deal with those spirits inside. Nie Jinglong respectfully requested.

"You go to the army, no, you can openly recruit some warriors to enter the mysterious space to investigate instead of your men. Emperor Shang originally wanted Nie Jinglong to go to the army to pick people, but he quickly remembered that the survival rate after entering the mysterious space was very low, and now the army was tense and reorganized, preparing for a big war that could start at any time, and he couldn't draw people from the army at this time.

So, Emperor Shang remembered how to recruit people.

"But, you have to remember that it doesn't matter if these people enter the mysterious space, but no one can leak the things inside, otherwise, I'll ask you!" Emperor Shang set a bottom line for Nie Jinglong to prevent him from messing around for the sake of the mission.

"Can anyone?" asked Nie Jinglong excitedly. If he can really recruit people at will, then he has great power.

Emperor Shang stared at Nie Jinglong's eyes and warned him word by word: "You must remember it for me to prevent secrets from leaking out, and you must be fully prepared in advance!"

With the bottom line clear, Nie Jinglong doesn't have to put all his energy on testing His Majesty's bottom line, he just needs to complete the task with peace of mind.

"Obey!" Nie Jinglong had the power to recruit people, and he also had full confidence, and he assured Emperor Shang to complete the task with great momentum.

"Hey, that's right!" Emperor Shang called out to Nie Jinglong before he could go out.

Nie Jinglong hurriedly returned to His Majesty and listened to the instructions.

Emperor Shang shook his head lightly and pondered for a moment, then he said to Nie Jinglong, "Xia family, you can recruit a few more." ”

Nie Jinglong's expression was awe-inspiring, and he heard something unusual from these words.
