Chapter 116: Preparation 1

At night, Dongfang Xia Lan lay in the arms of the black tiger, stroked the black tiger's head and said: "Black tiger, don't leave me, even if the Spirit Emperor comes to you, you are not allowed to leave, you have to accompany me, do you hear?" ”

The black tiger hugged Dongfang Xia Lan into his arms with his huge claws, and Dongfang Xia Lan closed his eyes with a smile.

Gu Du looked at the black tiger and basically understood why the black tiger would go with Dongfang Xia Lan.

The black tiger is old, I'm afraid it won't be long, it feels lonely, although Dongfang Xia Lan is arrogant, but in the eyes of the old man, he is a cute child.

The most important thing is that the Spirit Emperors of the past dynasties probably only regarded the Black Tiger as a rare beast, or even just a usable item, but Dongfang Xia Lan was attached to the Black Tiger, and this feeling was a great comfort to the Black Tiger.

As far as the beast is concerned, it is like being subordinate to the emperor, no one will absolutely ask for nothing, and the difference between giving and returning is too far, and there is no need for loyalty.

The next day, riding on the back of the black tiger, Gu Du said in Dongfang Xia Lan's ear: "You have to be good to the black tiger, you have to respect it, it may be the same age as your ancestors, it is your elder, do you understand?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan turned her head and glanced at Gu Du, and Gu Du asked again, "Do you understand?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: "It's not your turn to teach me!" ”

Gu Du said: "Rotten wood is difficult to carve. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan's eyes widened instantly, and she turned her head and reprimanded: "Presumptuous! ”

Gu Du said, "Why did I betray the Spirit Emperor? It's because the difference between the pay and the return is too far! Don't think that identity can coerce others, and identity coercion alone will never last long! The Spirit Emperor is much higher than you! ”

Dongfang Xia Lan pouted and turned her head and rubbed the neck of the black tiger with her little hand.

Back at the camp, Gu Du said to Ma Chongren: "The army of the Lingguo will arrive in less than 20 days, move the camp ten miles to the south, put more than double the deer, strengthen the camp fence, dig a trench, and there must be a trench between the two camps, and order the craftsmen to keep day and night to make 10,000 hard bows and 100,000 arrows." ”

Ma Chongren responded: "Command!" ”

Gu Du immediately met Emperor Ze and said: "Your Majesty, Dongfang Xia Lan has brought back the Black Tiger, and the Spirit Emperor will definitely drive the expedition in person, who can be the commander in the country?" ”

Zedi replied: "Only Qing is alone." ”

Gu Du looked at the three divisions, but the three divisions didn't speak, Gu Du raised his hand and saluted, and said: "The minister is willing to temporarily take charge of the military power, and protect the emperor Zhou Quan." ”

Emperor Ze ordered someone to take the talisman, handed it to Gu Du with his own hand, held Gu Du's hand and said: "Aiqing, the people of my Zeguo are not easy to come by, Aiqing does not know the pain of living in the ice field for a long time, and Zeguo can not go back. ”

Gu Du replied: "The minister knows the suffering of the glacier, Jin Lan told the minister, and the minister will do his best. ”

Emperor Ze said: "Aiqing is in charge of the army, there is no need to have any worries, let alone take special care of me, if it really comes to the moment of life and death, although I am not as brave as Aiqing, I can also put on armor and go into battle, and live and die with the soldiers." ”

"Your Majesty." The three divisions prostrated together.

Emperor Ze said: "Needless to say, since the Spirit Emperor can drive the expedition in person, I can also sit in the Chinese army!" ”

The next day, Li Xia and Dongfang Bin returned to the camp, and Gu Du said that when the Lingguo army came to attack, he asked Dongfang Bin and Dongfang Xia Lan to take the black tiger to protect Emperor Ze.

The black tiger stretched out his claws and pushed Gu Du, almost pushing Gu Du to sit down.

Gu Du said: "Black Tiger, I know you want to go into battle to kill the enemy, but it is more important to protect Xia Lan and the emperor, besides, the army of the Spirit Kingdom is coming for you, if you can't recruit you back, they will kill you, don't you want to be closer to Xia Lan in your lifetime?" ”

The black tiger lowered his head, and Dongfang Xia Lan asked Dongfang Bin: "Don't you need to go back to the mountain to transfer troops?" ”

Dongfang Bin replied: "Of course you have to transfer troops, you go, I will stay to help Master Gu." ”

Gu Du said: "Don't transfer troops, there is not enough food to eat." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "We can bring it ourselves, and we can also provide you with some grain and grass." ”

Gu Du said: "Okay, you can go." ”

Dongfang Xia Lan snorted, rode the black tiger and left.

Two days later, Dongfang Xia Lan returned to the Gang Mountain, and when she saw the black tiger, Dongfang Xinghao exclaimed: "This is Mo Xuan? ”

Dongfang Xia Lan asked, "What Mo Xuan?" ”

Dongfang Xinghao stared at Mo Xuan in amazement, and Dongfang Xia Lan hurriedly said, "Father! The Lingguo army is on an expedition, and it will arrive at the Zeguo camp in less than half a month, so quickly send troops to help in the battle! Prepare more grain and grass and deliver it to Gu Du! ”

Dongfang Xinghao looked at her and asked, "Gu Du?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan's eyes were panicked, and he said, "He...... He's in charge! ”

Dongfang Xinghao asked again: "He?" ”

"Father!" Dongfang Xia Lan hurriedly shouted with a white face: "The military situation is urgent!" Send reinforcements now! ”

Dongfang Xinghao said: "Tell me first, where did this black tiger come from?" ”

Dongfang Xia Lan replied: "The third brother and I followed Gu Du to the Black Wood Forest of the Spirit Country to find the psychic wood, and when we met it, I brought it back." ”

Dongfang Xinghao said: "Sure enough, it's Mo Xuan of the Spirit Kingdom, how could it go with you?" Are you willing to let you ride? ”

Dongfang Xia Lan said: "Father! Can we say that another day? The army of the Spirit Kingdom is marching towards Zeguo, you quickly gather the people of the Gate to form reinforcements! ”

Dongfang Xinghao smiled and said: "The reinforcements and grain and grass have already been prepared, and we can set off immediately to watch the sky for my father's night......"

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Dongfang Xia Lan interrupted him, jumped on the back of the tiger, and said, "I'll go back first." ”

Dongfang Xinghao reprimanded: "Come down! Go see your mother. ”

Dongfang Xia Lan shouted: "Father! I'm going back to protect Zedi! ”

Dongfang Xinghao repeated with a calm face: "Go see your mother." ”

"Hmm~" Dongfang Xia Lan sighed, jumped off the tiger's back, and said, "Mo Xuan, follow me to see my mother." ”

Mo Xuan nodded to Dongfang Xinghao, Dongfang Xinghao was startled, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, and Mo Xuan followed Dongfang Xia Lan away.

Gu Du inspected the east and west barracks every day, watched the soldiers drill, supervised the craftsmen making arrows, and even inquired about the feeding of horses.

Under the inspiration of his diligence and public service, the morale of the three armies is like a rainbow, and they are only waiting for the Lingguo to attack.

On the other side, Emperor Ling personally led an army of 150,000 to cross the boundary river, go deep into the grassland, and march north.

It was an overnight camp, and Chu Qin saw Zhong Qi standing outside the tent looking up at the sky, so he came over and called, "High priest." ”

Zhong Qi still raised his face and said softly: "Chu Qin, do you have attainments in the stars?" ”

Chu Qin replied: "I know a little bit about it. ”

Zhong Qi raised his finger and said, "Tell me, how is this astrological sign?" ”

Chu Qin didn't look at the sky, because he had already seen it, and replied softly: "The north is bright, the stars are out of the blue, the sword guides the side, and this battle is the great murderer of our country." ”

"yes." Zhong Qi sighed and said, "Our army has been attacking for a long time, and before it can engage in battle, it is already sleepy and tired. And the enemy army is waiting for work, it must be a deep ditch and a high base, and there are enough arrows, and this battle is more auspicious and less auspicious. ”
