Chapter 122: Retreat

After listening to Emperor Ling's words, Zhong Qi pondered for a while before asking, "Forgive the offense, may I ask the emperor, but you want to withdraw from the army?" ”

The Spirit Emperor replied, "Yes." 50,000 soldiers fought to the death, but it was difficult to get a village, if they fought again, they were afraid of a big defeat. But if you retreat, you will feel unwilling. ”

Zhong Qi said: "The minister is just worried, if there is no Mo Xuan, how can he sign the contract document?" ”

The Spirit Emperor replied: "That's fine, as long as you guard the Psychic Tree and the Spirit Spring, most of the animal's tails can be used, at most, you can take it when you use it." ”

Zhong Qi said: "That is the case, the minister agrees with the emperor's retreat, the emperor works on an expedition, even the battle can not be stopped, I am afraid that the army's heart will change, if I return to the imperial city, even if the country is delayed for five years, it will not be able to break through the three passes, and if there is five years, our country will definitely have all the grain and grass, and the number of soldiers will increase greatly, and it will not be too late to discuss the crusade against the rebels." ”

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a long time and said, "I am not reconciled, I will think about it again. ”

Zhong Qi got up and was just about to retire, when Shangguan Mingfeng outside the account said: "The minister Shangguan Mingfeng is driving, and there is an urgent military affairs to perform." ”

The Spirit Emperor frowned slightly and said, "Summon." ”

Shangguan Mingfeng came in, saw him and said, "Your Majesty, I just received a military report that there are troublemakers making trouble, and Lingyao County has been lost. ”

The Spirit Emperor's right eyelid jumped twice, it's always like this, the battle ahead, the backyard is going to catch fire, these damn pariahs! As long as you are slightly bewitched, you will follow!

Gu Duyi slept until dusk, startled himself when he opened his eyes, and blurted out: "It's all this time!" ”

Lixia brought a cup of tea and said with a smile: "You are tired, the enemy army has retreated, I didn't wake you up." ”

"Withdrawn?" Gu Du looked at Li Xia in amazement.

Lixia replied: "It's really retreated, General Jing has been sending sentinels to investigate, and the enemy has retreated for more than 70 miles." ”

Gu Du squinted slightly, and Li Xia said: "Take a sip of tea, anyway, the enemy army has already retreated, don't think about it yet, let's rest for a day." ”

Gu Du nodded, took the tea bowl and took a sip, and asked, "Nothing else, right?" ”

Lixia replied: "No, but the retreat of the enemy has not yet been reported to the emperor, and General Jing does not dare to be gullible." ”

Turning around and bringing another box of cakes, Gu Du asked, "Where did it come from?" ”

Lixia smiled and replied, "The emperor sent it." ”

Gu Duyan said disdainfully: "This is what women eat with children, you eat it with Xiaodong, I like to eat meat." ”

Li Xia smiled and called outward: "Xiao Dong? ”

Ye Xiaodong came in in response, and Li Xia was just about to give him the cake, Gu Du suddenly said, "Wait a minute, try it with your hairpin." ”

Li Xia was stunned for a moment, and Gu Du said: "Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship." ”

Li Xia plucked the silver hairpin, pricked it on the cake a few times, and then handed the box to Ye Xiaodong and said, "Eat, don't tell anyone about the cake with my hairpin." ”

"Yes." Ye Xiaodong agreed, picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

By the afternoon of the next day, the sentry reported that the enemy army had retreated nearly two hundred miles, Gu Du's heart was steady, and if he retreated so quickly, it must be that there was chaos in the territory of Lingguo, and it must have been done by Zeguo again.

Emperor Ze rewarded Gu Du and Lixia, but Gu Du refused, saying that he would use the money to compensate the fallen soldiers and build the city, and he couldn't always rely on the camp to defend against the enemy, as long as a few changes of clothes.

The two of them summoned the spirit master again, collected the souls of the fallen soldiers, assigned them to the spirit master markers, and tested the wooden jade dragon bi, sure enough, as Gu Du thought, the jade dragon bi only boosted spiritual power, but the psychic wood still couldn't do it, and the number of soul troops that could be controlled was limited.

Gu Du discussed with Dongfang Bin again, and sent a spiritual master with the strongest spiritual power to follow the people of Juelingmen back to the mountain, and asked the disciples of Juelingmen to help find Zhuqing Hanyu.

Dongfang Xia Lan came to find Li Xia and also wanted to bring the soul army, so Li Xia gave her the token and asked her to try to practice, but she could only mobilize more than a hundred soul army.

Li Xia was slightly surprised, suspecting that she was deliberately hiding her strength, in order to have an excuse to ask for advice, she asked Dongfang Bin to try it the next day, and as a result, Dongfang Bin could only mobilize more than a hundred soul troops.

This reminded Li Xia that he summoned the spirit masters to practice together, and found that most of the spirit masters were forced to mobilize the soul army, and some of them even blushed and had thick necks.

Li Xia immediately stopped, came back and told Gu Du about the situation, Gu Du went to the high priest to reassess the level of the spirit master, and as a result, of the more than fifty spirit masters, only thirteen could reach the yellow robe standard, and the rest were only white robe level, but they used to have hundreds of soul troops, no wonder they could never win.

This time, Li Xia had something to do, only she and Gu Du were in black robes, and Gu Du planned to start cultivating soul servants, so the position of teaching was only held by Li Xia.

And the selection of the spirit servant, in the end, did not learn the spirit country, but first tested the spiritual power with the soul army drill, and then tested the strength and martial arts of those who controlled less than fifty soul army, and those who were not suitable for both would be eliminated.

Dongfang brothers and sisters also want to be spiritual servants, after this battle, Dongfang Xia Lan also reined in, and no longer shouted that she was the county lord all day long, but Lixia did not let their brothers and sisters sign the contract documents.

Gu Du asked Lixia to prepare two documents, Lixia signed them for him, and he signed them for Lixia, so as to offset the contract originally signed in the Spirit Kingdom.

Lixia asked Gu Du: "What should I do from the sea?" Can he re-sign? ”

Gu Du shook his head and replied, "I don't know, let's cultivate first." ”

That night, Gu Du released Conghai, who stared at Gu Du with a hideous face, and made a guttural sound like a beast.

Gu Du looked at him and said, "I am Gu Du, your soul master. ”

From the sea as if he didn't hear it, he roared gloomily: "You hurt my master!" I want to avenge the soul master! ”

Gu Du's nose was sour, and he choked up and said, "Conghai, I am your master, and I am Gu Du." ”

Conghai suddenly pounced up, grabbed Gu Du's neck, Gu Du grabbed his two wrists, pulled his hands away, and said, "Conghai, I am your master, I am Gu Du." ”

Emperor Linghuang led the army back to Zhenbei Pass, after a short rest, the whole army marched to Lingyao County, and as soon as the army arrived under the city, the leader of the rebellious people opened the city to surrender.

Emperor Ling ordered an army of 100,000 to surround the county town and investigate according to the household registration.

In addition, ten generals were ordered to set up courts in various places to inquire about the case, and all the disorderly people who disturbed the people's households were to be killed with a cane, and those who had a woman were all torn apart, and the rest of the people were beheaded.

Seven thousand five hundred and forty-three rioters, men, women, and children, will not spare a single man!

The streets of Lingyao County are full of blood and bones.

The Spirit Emperor was so angry, not only because the chaotic people affected his expedition, but more importantly, the reason for the civil unrest was that some people advocated that the Spirit Emperor had no way and that heaven and man abandoned together, saying that they first forced the soul master to die and escape, and then the treasure beast also left the spirit country and went to Renjun.

Although he knew that he was making rumors and making trouble, he actually followed the stream, and the people's hearts can also be seen!
