Chapter 20: The Journey to the Underworld Chapter 15
Minova explained to all the imperial spirits in the temple what she had experienced and the ancient offerings she had found in Lang Huan's blessed land about the Hungry Ghost Dao.
Emperor Taiyi wandered anxiously beside the throne, clasped his hands, with a worried face, and the palace monarch Qigong felt unreasonable, and still looked at Minova with half-belief, and the Ki Gu Yu came out to speak.
"What she said wasn't necessarily false, and I'm convinced that the Hungry Ghost Dao does exist. Qi Gu Yan looked at everyone, looked at Qi Gong very solemnly, and used his demeanor to tell Qi Gong that this matter was not groundless, and then he turned to look at the worried Emperor Tai.
"Have you seen it?" Emperor Tai could guess from the words of Kikoo that he had gone through some secret that no one had ever known.
"At that time, our troops advanced into Yanzhou and came to the border between Yanzhou and Xuanzhou, there is a mountain range, which is the dividing line between Yanzhou and Xuanzhou, the mountain range is very special, there is a huge sinkhole under the continuous mountain range, the bottom of the sinkhole comes out of red gas, and from time to time it makes a creepy sound, passing through here, you can feel a strong gravitational force pulling you, just like this said. ”
Ki Koo tells his story very seriously and truthfully, and when he talks about Minova, he will turn around and point at her, which is a kind of recognition of the facts she describes.
Then he sighed, and continued: "At that time, we thought that it was a soil vortex (a natural disaster in the underworld, which can involve a large area of creatures in the underworld and bury themselves in the ground, and it is a powerful natural disaster that can cause large-scale death), and immediately quickened our pace and evacuated from the place, without looking closely, and I was a little shocked to hear what she just described. ”
Emperor Taiyi also knew about the legend of the Hungry Ghost Dao and the rumors that are circulating today, and he had already begun to pay attention to this matter, however, Emperor Taiyi eagerly asked the opinions of the three princes beside him: Cheng Chan, Peng Zu, and Asura.
"Sangong, what do you think?"
"We can't fight now, according to the position we just said, it happens to be the second station for us to regain the lost territory, if the war starts, Qi Harmony has mastered the power of the Hungry Ghost Dao, then we will be wiped out by the whole army, and there will be no recovery." ”
Peng Zu carried his back, his beard would shake as soon as he spoke, the fragile spirit structure was loose, and the Yuan Shen naturally dimmed a lot, and used that weak hoarse voice to support the old body, hysterically admonishing Emperor Taiyi.
Asura came out and immediately said: "Now that we don't fight, Qi Harmony will try his best to attack other places, and when the time comes, we will not only lose Xuanzhou, but also lose Yanzhou, which has not been recovered for a long time, and we will lose a large area of the country when the time comes." ”
Seeing this dilemma, he also wanted to express his opinion: "Now it's a dilemma, even if we don't fight, Xuanzhou is still the territory of the Nightmare, and the Hungry Ghost Dao is naturally in his hands, and the only chance is to recapture the Hungry Ghost Dao no matter what the method." ”
At this time, there was a voice that stood out among the crowd, his voice was weaker than everyone present, and his voice did not dare to be too loud, he slowly raised his hand, and said his thoughts without hurry.
"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, I do have an idea, can you give me an amnesty?" The person who raised his hand was Yu Xiao.
Yu Hao's eyes widened and looked at Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao was too sudden to surprise Yu Xiao, he pulled Yu Xiao's hand, Yu Xiao shook his head at Yu Xiao, and said in a whisper.
"What do you want to do, you are stupid, this is a critical moment related to the underworld, don't come nonsense. Yu Yu persuaded Yu Xiao in a panic.
"Trust me, my method might work. Yu Xiao's head was slightly inclined to Yu Yu's head, and he was completely natural, leaning on his ear and whispering.
"You are a Shadow Warrior, do you have the right to speak and represent in the palace?" The palace monarch Senid looked down on Yu Xiao, a reconnaissance-level Shadow Warrior, and embarrassed the lowly Yu Xiao everywhere, and restricted his speech.
As soon as Senede finished speaking, the three princes and nine secretaries below all criticized, condemning Yu Xiao's rudeness, but his superior, Lin Gong, stood up to speak for Yu Xiao, Yu Yu thought for a long time, and felt that this was impossible, but he also knew that Yu Xiao had always been neither humble nor arrogant, cynical, and Yu Hao finally fought for the opportunity to help him ask for the right to speak.
Only the palace monarch Ki Gu Cai and Cheng Yu clan accepted their opinions, and Ki Gu Yan glanced at Emperor Taiyi, suggesting that he wanted to hear the opinion of this martial artist, but Emperor Tai Yi agreed without hesitation, and the opportunity for Yu Xiao to perform came.
"We can fight, but not in Xuanzhou, but shift the battle line, first attack from Jugu Continent to Shengzhou, and then take Liuzhou. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he pointed to the holographic strategic model map around a group of people, and then said politely, "Can the map be used?"
Emperor Taiyi's eyes were no longer so confused and melancholy, looking at Yu Xiao's eyes as if he saw hope, he raised his head slightly, moved away from his lowered cheeks, and he couldn't wait to allow Yu Xiao's request.
"Yes, take it and use it. ”
He pointed to the locations of Jugu Continent, Shengzhou and Liuzhou, and used his knowledge of the reconnaissance troops to explain the terrain and environment there very carefully, and also explained the location of the troops and the anchorage of each hill and tributary of the river, as well as the route of the march.
Yu Yu assisted Yu Xiao to parse the information they knew to the imperial spirits, and there are a lot of demon plants in this place, which can be used to become their powerful backing with the help of the power of these plants, the terrain of the mountains and tributaries is complex, and ambush points can be set up, and the valley route needs the assistance of flying Yin soldiers and flying beast spirits in order to be more convenient and fast.
Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and after a while, everyone smiled, Lin Gong and Qi Gu Yao applauded warmly, applauding his combat strategy, Lin Gong was particularly pleased to smile, and Qi Gong, who had been chattering just now, instantly quieted down.
After hearing this, the Cheng Clan was still full of doubts, and was still very worried, and said in a hurry: "Even if we transfer our strategy, they can also use the Hungry Ghost Dao to deal with us." ”
"We need a divisive plan to divide the forces of the Qi Harmony Nightmare Army, let them fight in the nest, engage in civil strife, and use the weapon of hunger and ghost dao to consume their hearts.
"Not only do they free up a lot of time and energy for us, but they also see the nightmare and the evil spirits killing each other, and they have no time to take care of us, and the sandpipes and clam fight each other, and the fishermen benefit. Yu Xiao analyzed the situation very carefully and clearly, which impressed everyone present.
"What's your name?" Emperor Tai Yi pointed to Yu Xiao and smiled happily at the somewhat flattered Yu Xiao, who was eager to get to know Yu Xiao.
"My name is Yu Xiao, I am a martial artist, I belong to the reconnaissance unit, and I am a subordinate of Lin Gong. ”
"And the other one?" said Emperor Taiyi, turning his gaze to the other person beside him.
Yu Xiao turned his head to look, then immediately turned around, and reported: "His name is Yu Lu." My good partner is also a martial artist under Duke Lin. ”
Yu Yu was honored to bow to Emperor Taiyi, so nervous that he couldn't speak, he couldn't react, and then he looked at Yu Xiao with a confused face, and he still had a little bit in his heart.
"Gong Lin, you have two such capable underworld warriors, but the hope for the future of the underworld, it is too condescending to be transferred to the reconnaissance unit. ”
Lin Gong bowed submissively, very tactfully and modestly, and Minova on the side was full of praise.
After listening to Yu Xiao's strategy, Emperor Taiyi immediately asked the opinions of the three princes and nine ministers present and the major palace monarchs.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if there is any other opinion, accept it. ”
At first, they were silent, no one dared to speak, and they all looked at each other, and the scene was very embarrassing.
"If no one speaks, that's acquiescence. ”
As soon as Emperor Taiyi finished speaking, he immediately gave his will, and then Yu Xiao smiled happily.
When they all returned to the information center, Minova came to Yu Xiao and Yu Lu, and Minova said goodbye to them very affectionately.
"From the moment you saved me, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Minova bowed deeply and reciprocated them with great gratitude.
Yu Xiao and Yu Hao immediately stretched out their hands to support Minova, but Yu Xiao was very guilty, because his original intention was to rely on Yu Xi's clue to find his friend Shu Kuang, who had not seen him for many years, saving Minova was not his original intention, and Yu Hao did not dare to ask for Minova's gratitude, he also felt guilty.
"You don't have to thank us, in fact, I originally wanted to gamble to follow him to the Gaotao District to find my former friend, and you should thank him. Yu Xiao said helplessly,
"However, you also have to thank me, if I hadn't been locked up in Gaotao District, you wouldn't have known about your old friend, and you wouldn't have been able to follow him to save me, and you wouldn't have met your friend so coincidentally. Minova laughed and sneered at Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao and Yu Hao also laughed loudly, and after laughing for a while, Minova patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said reluctantly: "Haha, no matter what, I finally got my life back, the real purpose of my coming to call you is to say goodbye to you, I have completed the task, it's time to go to him." ”
Minova smiled optimistically, she was still worried about Yu Xi in her heart, there was always a little expectation and luck in her heart, and she didn't want to give up like this.
She smiled and approached Yu Xiao and said earnestly.
"Promise me, to protect the underworld, maintain the order of the underworld, this is the place where you show your strength, one day you and Yu Yu are promoted, remember to inform me. ”
As soon as Yu Xiao heard Minova's words, he swallowed his saliva, did not speak, and made up his mind firmly.
"I will do it, and I am confident that he will be fine, praying in the name of the god of the underworld, Emperor Zang. ”
"In the name of a Tibetan emperor. Minova shook off her hand disdainfully, turned her head and smirked, her gaze evading for a moment, and her tone was a little sarcastic.
But she didn't forget to take the initiative to reach out and want to have a friendly handshake with Yu Xiao and Yu Lu, because of fate, knowing each other, Yu Xiao was very happy to meet Minova, although Yu Xiao was not as exaggerated as Yu Lu's expression, it was easy to show herself, and the quiet Yu Xiao was very happy in her heart.
Not long after, Yu Xiao and Yu Yu were awarded military ranks, and they were both knighted as Lingjun Warriors, and they went hand in hand with Qi Gu Cai to fight against Qi Harmony.
