Three hours later, Xia Ji negotiated a secret agreement with the Queen of the Ghost Fang, and then left each other tokens and cuts, and then separated.

Xia Ji returned to the imperial capital.

And Tu Luo directly led the army to attack other cities, and many foreign thieves followed closely, like jackals following tigers and leopards, just seeking a piece of the scraps.

In the battle of the imperial capital, although the ghost side lost a lot, it did not hurt its muscles and bones at all, because none of the three thousand frost giants died.

In addition, after the ghost army entered the Sealed Wolf Pass, it was already very open, and even if three or four thousand people were lost on the royal capital's side, there were still more than 70,000 people left in the pass.

Tu Luo's idea of invasion is very clear:

She took the Frost Giant with her to "defend the Chinese army".

Then she will send a ghost army to burn and loot everywhere, and if she encounters a strong attack, she will send the Frost Giants to achieve the effect of killing the situation in one fell swoop.

As for where is the "Chinese army"?

Where Tu Luo, the "Queen of the Ghost Fang", is located, that is, the Chinese army.

She wandered with the Frost Giant.

Therefore, the position of the Chinese army is completely uncertain.

The ghost army looted the supplies, and she needed to find more important things - exercises, magic weapons.

For a war, the army is indispensable, and it is true that it is the main body, but when the difference between the armies is not huge, it is the top power that determines the outcome of the war.

Therefore, in the face of the "sealing wolf" at the border Xiongguan, Tu Luo was able to use three thousand frost giants to determine the victory in one fell swoop on a snowy night, directly tearing apart the prince and his 100,000 elite soldiers.

Therefore, even if the imperial capital is already weak, but Xia Ji is there, and he wins in the battle of high-level combat power, which makes the frost giants sent by Tu Luo completely useless, and the rest is the battle of soldiers' lives, which is not advantageous for the ghost side, so they retreated.

This does not mean that the ghost side cannot capture the imperial city, but because the cost of capturing the imperial city is too great.

It doesn't make any sense to lose a lot of troops to take a city.

Stop-loss is one of the things that a qualified king should think about.

Identifying enemies and allies is another one.

Therefore, the Queen of the Ghost Fang is willing to conclude an alliance with this young prince.

Subsequently, Tu Luo became even more interested in this prince.

Because she inquired about some of the prince's experiences:

The deep palace has been chanting for more than two years, silently.

The Son of Heaven fled and let him stay.

In this case, however, he demonstrated extraordinary strength and defeated his father and three uncles.

This is not at all explained by some adventure.

That can only show one thing, this young prince has an extraordinary heart,

With both forbearance and madness,

Calm and fanatical,

Divinity and demonism.

Such a person is fully qualified to establish an alliance with his own ghost party alone.

At least that's what Tu Luo thinks.

Therefore, she wants to establish a long-term friendship with His Royal Highness the Seventh Great Shang as the queen of the Ghost Fang, so as to form a certain degree of offensive and defensive alliance in this troubled world.

And this winter is the embryonic period of friendship between the two sides.

She will cherish it extraordinarily.

...

In the palace.

Xia Ji made a cup of hot tea, sat down on the edge of Huaqing Lake in the deep palace, and then began to engrave the rosary in earnest, he wanted to increase the number of rosaries to make this hole card stronger.

On his side, Mei Gongcheng stood with his head bowed, holding a jade box in both hands, and his right hand was already connected to an iron hand, although it was very uncomfortable, but it was better than no hand.

Xia Ji engraved seventy-five wooden beads, neatly placed them in the wooden box, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the jade box in Grandpa Mei's hand, and said: "The chief manager would rather kill himself if he loses the bet, and he will not tell the truth or serve me." ”

Gonggong Mei hurriedly stepped forward, put the jade box on the table, and then opened it, revealing a booklet in it, two jars of embroidery needles, and a token, "This is the "Sunflower Treasure Book" left by the chief manager, the Qiqi embroidery needle, and the eight hundred dead tokens. ”

Xia Ji glanced at it, "Did he say anything more?"

Father-in-law Mei hurriedly said: "The chief manager took something for me and killed himself, but he said before he died... Watch out for Concubine Wan. ”

"Be careful?"

Xia Ji muttered, "Does he think these four words are enough to make up for his missed appointment?"

The young prince looked at the lake in the morning light, and suddenly sighed: "Forget it, this old dog is a little loyal, let's bury it." ”

"Do you need a thick burial?"

"No, just give him a grave. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, the old slave will do it. ”

"Dig deeper, don't get eaten by hungry red-eyed wild dogs. ”

"Your Highness is merciful, the old slave understands. ”

When Gonggong Mei went far away, Xia Ji took out the "Sunflower Treasure Book", turned over the pages one by one, and read softly: "If you want to practice divine skills, lead the knife from the palace; Today's way of practicing qi, not outside the desire to guide, insignificant and too empty, heaven and earth are clear and turbid and give birth to people, people's practice of qi, not outside the practice of the void spirit and cleanse the turbidity, the master of the life of the qi, the use of the body of the form......"

An hour later, he had finished reciting, and a purple skill bead appeared at the Yuan Shen, showing that it was: [Sunflower Treasure Book] Ninth Layer.

He's just making a store and isn't going to use it directly.

Putting it back in the exercise book, he took out another 800 dead tokens.

These 800 dead soldiers are the 800 people who blocked the palace, and it is because of them that the palace harem has not been able to leave a single person.

The strength of these 800 people is obviously much stronger than that of the guards, and what is more special is because of the relationship between training and cultivation methods, these 800 people only recognize the token and do not recognize the person, whoever holds the token they will listen to whom, the Son of Heaven is willing to give the token to the general manager, obviously he also trusts the general manager, in fact, the chief manager does not live up to his trust.

It's just that now these 800 people have become the first force under Xia Ji that can be mobilized at will.

Secondly, it is that piece of tiger talisman, but although he is the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, it is obvious that the Son of Heaven only gave an empty title, if he was not sure that he would die, this empty title would not be given, and the corresponding tiger talisman can obviously only mobilize the imperial capital army, that is, the soldiers and horses in Deng Jue's hands, this army originally had 50,000, and after the war, it had been halved.

Xia Ji was sorting his hole cards when footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance.

A palace guard hurriedly came with his head down, and when he arrived at Huaqing Lake, he knelt down and said, "Your Highness, General Deng asks to see you." ”

Xia Ji said: "Let Deng Jue come here." ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

A moment later.

Deng Jue walked to the lake.

Xia Ji pointed to the other side of the stone table and said, "Sit." Then he raised the pot, poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "The tea that I didn't invite you to drink before the war will be made up today." ”

Deng Jue was stunned for a moment, remembering the first meeting between himself and His Royal Highness in the library pavilion, at that time His Royal Highness said, "The situation is urgent, I won't invite you to tea", and he replied unceremoniously, "People with their heads around their waists, what kind of tea do they want to drink", thinking that he really didn't know Mount Tai, and thought that His Highness was going to escape, but as a result, His Highness's performance was to slap him hard.

But he likes to be slapped in the face like this, and he also likes such a highness, so he smiled and said frankly: "The old man is dizzy, and he doesn't know His Highness when he first sees him, but he only talks about the ordinary prince, which makes His Highness smile." ”

The two looked into the distance, the morning sun had risen, and the sparkling waves showed a corner of the imperial capital after the war, although it was peaceful, but the rush of millions of refugees made the imperial city extremely chaotic.

Deng Jue drank the tea slowly, and then suddenly said: "Your Highness, the old man has already investigated the backgrounds of the more than 100 people, and they are all ordinary. ”

Xia Ji nodded unexpectedly.

Deng Jue's words changed sharply, and then asked, "Your Highness, what do you want?"

Xia Ji looked at him.

Deng Jue said: "The old man said that day, as long as His Royal Highness comes back, the Deng family will only obey His Royal Highness, so the old man came today to ask about the future road, so as to have a preparation as soon as possible." ”
