Chapter 244: Collecting the Dead!

Grey skies. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thunder roared, and a storm was coming. In the depths of the dense dark clouds, there is an oppressive atmosphere.

In the wilderness. Two men and a woman swept quickly. Their clothes were in tatters, and there were many blood stains on their body parts, as if they were in great danger, and they were rushing for their lives at the moment.

Croak......

Overhead, a strange cry resembling a crow sounded. It is especially harsh in the empty wilderness. After hearing this, the faces of the three of them changed greatly. One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in white, shouted at the other two companions: "Zhang Biao, you go first, I'll stop them!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw the middle-aged man stomp his feet, and the thick mysterious qi sprayed out from the soles of his feet, and the whole person rose from the ground like an arrow, rushing into the sky.

Giant birds hovered in the air. It resembles a vulture, and its body is huge, with wings of six or seven meters. They swoop down as if they had spotted their target.

"Evil beast, go and die!"

The middle-aged man rose into the sky, locked onto a giant bird in mid-air, and attacked. He was wearing a white-clothed battle robe, and his Xuan Qi was transformed, and he was obviously a white-clothed priest of the God of War Temple, with the strength of a seven-star war spirit.

One-on-one, the giant bird is by no means an opponent. But the flock of birds was extremely numerous, and they besieged it from all directions, and immediately trapped the white-clothed priest to death.

"Lord Shen Liu!"

There was a shout from below. A big man with a hammer in his hand, seeing his companions facing the enemy alone, wanted to help but couldn't do anything, and jumped to his feet in a hurry.

"Brother Biao, the situation is critical, and we can't help if we stay, so we should follow Lord Shen Liu's instructions and rush to Nanyue Wangcheng as soon as possible for help!" A girl next to her said urgently. She looked eighteen or nineteen years old, petite and beautiful.

The big man knew that his companion was telling the truth, thought about it, gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Yaling, let's go!" ”

However, they ran forward no more than 100 meters before an object landed from the sky and slammed into the ground.

Boom!

In the muffled sound, the dirt splattered. A stone statue blocked the way. fell into the eyes of the two, and they were all shocked and inexplicable. This stone statue, regardless of its shape or size, is exactly the same as the 'Shen Liu' Lord who attacked the strange bird just now.

Before they could react, a silver bell-like laugh rang out, which was beautiful but indescribably weird.

"Want to escape? None of you can escape! ”

Two giant birds fell from the sky. A man and a woman sit on the back of a bird. The male has a strange appearance, with a sharp beak and sharp claws, and a pair of black wings on his back, which looks like a large crow in the form of a living human. The woman is dressed in a cherry costume and pedals on wooden shoes, a typical Japanese dress. Its appearance is quite delicate, but it is a pair of eyes that are very abnormal, like a poisonous snake that is turquoise, extremely weird.

"Yaling, follow me...... Kill! ”

The big man looked at the comer, didn't think much about it, brandished two big hammers, and rushed straight away. The girl followed, drew a soft sword from her waist, and attacked together.

"Misako, are you coming or am I coming?"

"My lord's favorite collection of warrior statues...... Crow, you don't take it lightly, I'll do it! ”

The giant bird carried the two on its back, talking casually, completely ignoring the sniper target. It wasn't until the big man approached and smashed it with a hammer that he made a move.

"Look me in the eye!"

The seductive words of the maiden rang out. A pair of eyes glowed with a ghostly light at the same time, jumping like a ghost fire, weird and inexplicable.

The big man who came directly looked at it subconsciously, only glanced at it, and then it was like a spell, his hands and feet began to harden, the blood in his body coagulated, and his consciousness sank and lost at the same time.

"Legacy, bereavement......"

This was the last consciousness of him and his companions, and they immediately fell into darkness and sank completely.

……………………………………

Gu Xi was in a very apprehensive mood.

Since the last time I was punished, I was grounded in the palace and thought about it behind closed doors. He sensed that his father was disappointed in him, even disgusted.

This is really nightmare news for him, who has always dreamed of sitting on the throne, and the consequences are unbearable.

But I didn't expect that in just ten days, I was summoned by my father again.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It is not known for the time being. But in Gu Xi's view, the situation has taken a turn for the better, and the good is greater than the evil.

With the celebrant behind him, he walked all the way into the dormitory. When Gu Xi came to the person he feared the most, without thinking about it, he fell to his knees and began to repent and blame himself, expressing his heart of change.

"Get up!"

The ancient emperor sat in front of the desk, without raising his head, without even looking at his son, with a focused expression as if he was reading a notebook.

Gu Xi knew his father's temper, so he quickly got up and stood beside him obediently.

Half an hour passed. The ancient emperor raised his head, glanced at him, and said, "Xi'er, my father has an errand that you need to do!" ”

Gu Xi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "The son of the minister receives the order, but please ask the father to give orders." In his opinion, as long as his father is willing to appoint errands, it means that he has not given up on himself.

The ancient emperor got up, looked at his eldest son, who he had always relied on, his eyes were full of majesty, and said slowly: "In the near future, the Father's Association will issue a decree to abolish the ancestral emperor's ......legacy."

"Ahh

Before he finished speaking, Gu Xi's face was already full of shock, and he shouted in a tone of disbelief: "Father, do you really want to abandon the ancestral emperor's legacy in order to recruit the remnants of the Star Sea?" ”

The ancient emperor didn't reply, just glanced at it lightly. Gu Xi immediately came back to his senses and knelt on the ground to plead guilty: "The son lost his words, please ask my father to surrender!" ”

"There is a loss to gain!"

The ancient emperor's deep voice came, "Xi'er, this is the advice given by your two imperial uncles, I have thought about it repeatedly for my father, and I think it makes sense...... The remnants of the Star Sea have now become a climate, and if they cannot be destroyed, they must be used by my Gu clan, otherwise they will cause a catastrophe...... It will even affect my Gu family! ”

Gu Xi listened to it in his ears, although he didn't think so, but he was respectful on the surface, and nodded in agreement: "My father is far-sighted, and my son is ashamed, I don't have your foresight!" ”

"Talk less and do more practical things."

The Gu Emperor paused in his tone, and said in a deep voice: "The containment and suppression have failed, for my Gu Clan, the next step is to try to win over the bereaved people and take them back for their own use!" ”

Gu Xi is very smart. Otherwise, they will not be entrusted with important tasks and handle most of the government affairs on their behalf. He heard the double meaning implied in his father's words, not only to win over the relics of Xinghai, but also the remnants hidden in Huaxia.

"Father, what do you mean ......?"

"The establishment of a department to collect the bereaved must be fast!"

The Ancient Emperor finally explained his intention to summon his son, his eyes looked at Gu Xi, showing a strange expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said lightly: "You should be very experienced in this regard!" ”

After hearing this, Gu Xi said 'Gadeng' in his heart, and he had already heard that there was something in this sentence. His first reaction was that his behavior of raising the deceased without permission had been exposed.

"The son is guilty, please punish the father!"

Without thinking about it, Gu Xi took the initiative to admit his mistake and asked for punishment. He knew his father, and he hated people the most for concealing it, and now that he was exposed, it was definitely better to take the initiative to explain the situation than to continue to conceal it.

"As I said a long time ago, no one can hide your...... The reason why my father tolerates it is because I think of our father-son relationship, and you are not too out of line! ”

After the ancient emperor said this, he directly picked up a fold from the table and threw it over.

"Do what you have to do for your father, and do it within a month...... And this secret letter, send it to the sea of stars to your fourth brother as soon as possible! ”

"Yes!"

Gu Xi received the order. Pick up the secret decree and prepare to retire. However, just as he turned around, the Ancient Emperor's words sounded again.

"Xi'er, when the secret decree is delivered, add a sentence, if the remnants of Xinghai want to get the emperor's compromise, they must obey the dispatch and immediately lead the troops to the east to quell the disaster!"

Gu Xi was stunned when he heard this. Looking at his father, he said with a wry smile: "Father, the retainers know about the remnants of the Xinghai Sea, I'm afraid they won't easily obey your will!" ”

"Don't worry, they will agree to send troops!"

An unfathomable smile spread across the ancient emperor's majestic face, and his tone was extremely affirmative.

Gu Xi wanted to speak, but was persuaded to retreat by waving his hand.

"Xi'er, the secret recital conveys, there will be no problem with your fourth brother on the side of Xinghai...... As a matter of urgency, you need to set up a department for the collection of the bereaved as soon as possible...... The strength of the Xinghai relics is strong enough, and they can't be replenished with fresh blood! ”

"Erchen knows what to do!"

Gu Xi nodded. He strode away.

When he walked out of the palace, the night was already dark, Gu Xi looked up at the endless sky, the stars were dotted, and his handsome face unconsciously flashed a look of excitement.

Remains! Co-opt the bereaved!

He felt that his opportunity had come, to be exact, it should have come a great opportunity given by his father.
