[921] sitting
The sea is cloudless and sparkling.
In the waters near Shuoyue Island, there are thousands of sails among the supernatural stone peaks of those sea stone forests, and merchant ships from all over the Netherworld have sailed into the four major ports on the island, and are trading with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
When the sun rises, the island comes alive.
And in the military palace yamen on the top of Xiaoyu Mountain City, it suddenly quieted down, but the ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom arranged in this courtyard were all staring at Wei Zheng and Lu Zhidao. I am afraid that these two ghost envoys who are extremely angry will do something extreme to Ying Zhao Jiang Ziwen and them in anger.
However, Ying Zhao and Jiang Ziwen, who had already taken their seats, were very calm.
After all, they are all ghost officials and ghost generals who have seen the world before, and they are also ghost officials and ghost generals who are used to seeing blood spurting between the swords and swords, and they will not be frightened by Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng's angry face.
Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng naturally knew that they couldn't scare them, but they were angry and needed to vent their anger.
And Jiang Ziwen said that, Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng still didn't sit down, they were still angry.
"Why should the two ghost envoys be angry?" At this time, Ying Zhao, who had read the battle report, smiled slightly and said: "The blood feud between our country and your country will continue until the peace talks are over and both sides fulfill their promises. Isn't the peace talks that you and I are sitting at the negotiating table and talking about with a lot of words just to stop this kind of thing from happening again in the days to come? If you have time to get angry, you might as well sit down and continue the peace talks and strive to complete them as soon as possible, so as to avoid any further friction between the two sides. ”。
The trick of Ying Zhao is just to retreat.
Of course, Ying Zhao said that he wanted the peace talks to be completed as soon as possible, in fact, he and Jiang Ziwen had already planned it, and it was best to delay him for another ten days and a half months, so that Tanuki Tianying could work with the loess, grab more resources, and destroy some more fortifications of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
And what he said was also reasonable, which made Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng stunned, and the anger in their chests that was originally difficult to dissipate a little bit invisibly, and they couldn't open their mouths for a while, completely speechless, and they didn't know how to refute Yingzhao.
"So to put it this way, General Ying Zhao thinks that if our imperial army also openly appears on the territory of your country during the peace talks, as long as the peace talks have not ended, it is also legal and reasonable?" But just a moment later, Lu Zhidao, who sat down with a cold snort, glanced at Ying Zhao coldly, and asked: "During this period, the army of our imperial court can also come to your country's territory to burn and loot?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was even more tense than before. The guards of the Nine Shadows Kingdom around them had already clenched their hands on the hilt of the long knife at their waists, ready to attack at any time and chop Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng to pieces.
But Ying Zhao, Jiang Ziwen, and Ji Kang were not angry but happy.
With a smile on his face, while ordering the scribes to prepare the items needed for the negotiation, he reached out and patted the back of Yu Xuan's hand holding the knife, signaling Yu Xuan to take back the long knife that had been drawn from the scabbard, and also signaling the other party not to be nervous.
All this seems to be the pursuit of a kind of harmony is precious.
However, after a while, Ying Zhao opened his mouth to Lu Zhidao and said: "Lord Lu is not wrong with this; before the end of the peace talks, our two countries are incompatible, and you and I are still enemies. However, your army has fought more than once with our army, but which time has it not only taken advantage of a small advantage, but also suffered a big loss? If you dare to send troops here, we will welcome it with swords, guns, and artillery, and our country will not be responsible for whether or not your army can survive. ”。
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Ziwen and Ji Kang couldn't help laughing, and Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng on the opposite side had even more ugly faces, their colors were like pig's liver, and their facial features were also screwed together.
They all saw that Jiang Ziwen was a heroic move, and he really wished that before the peace talks were completed, he would use this to fight a war with the Northern Yin Dynasty. Then the peace talks continue, and maybe some compensation can be added.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhidao had nowhere to vent even if he was angry, he really broke his teeth, and he could only swallow it in his stomach.
Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng glanced at each other, exchanged glances, and after gritting their teeth, they both sat down at the negotiation table, swallowed their anger, and continued to negotiate with the representatives of the Nine Shadows Country......
On the towering Luoyu Mountain, the mountain breeze is slightly cool, and it is very refreshing.
On the corner of the hall of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace, the wind chimes hanging on the wind swayed in the wind, making bursts of light and pleasant sounds.
Emperor Xudu stood in front of the palace gate of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace, standing with his hands behind the jade barrier, twisting a small ball of bloody cotton in his hand, and silently looking at the distant sky.
As far as the eyes of the Emperor Xudu could see, there was a blood cloud in the southern sky.
In the depths of the blood-cloud, which was as red as blood, a dark red glow of blood emanated. Such strange clouds are not uncommon in the early morning in the Netherworld.
And below that blood cloud is the direction of Shuoyue Island in the Nine Shadows Country. Peace talks are going on on on the island.
Whether it was Xiao Shizhu, who had already rushed to Yuque City, or Emperor Xudu, who was standing in the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace at this time, looking at the clouds on the sky in a daze, they were all paying close attention to this peace talk.
And Xiao Shizhu and Emperor Xudu, the two overlords in the underworld, knew that this peace negotiation could not completely eliminate the military disaster, and what was only exchanged for a short period of peace.
And after this short period of peace, there will be more large-scale wars between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
And these two biggest overlords in the Netherworld, even in the near future, the victory or loss of those wars that will occur will determine the life and death of Xiao Shizhu and Emperor Xudu.
The two sides are not only keeping an eye on the progress of the peace talks on Shuoyue Island, but they are also trying to make the peace talks successful, at least explicitly. It's just to get a short peace, so that I have time to prepare for the final decisive battle, and prepare everything I can to have a better chance of winning.
Emperor Xudu twisted the cotton ball in his hand, and the confusion in his heart rose again.
He couldn't understand that Xiao Shizhu had been in the Netherworld for more than ten years, although at the beginning, because there were many internal ghosts in the Northern Yin Dynasty, he had already planned a plan to help Xiao Shizhu, so that the Emperor Xudu lost the opportunity. But since then, Emperor Xudu has been suppressing and rectifying Xiao Shizhu.
Both open guns and hidden arrows were used, but Xiao Shizhu was not only not afraid and was not defeated, but became more and more tenacious. The Nine Ghost Country, a small ghost country that could only survive in the gap between the major powers, is also getting stronger and stronger.
Even Emperor Xudu deliberately let go of a wisp of Yuan Shen of Taishan Mansion Jun, and with the help of the other party, after tricking Xiao Shizhu into the Yellow Spring, he failed to make Xiao Shizhu die in another country.
Now, Hu Lan sent it out and transferred it to Fenglinzhou, and then sent it from Fenglinzhou, and the cotton ball with Xiao Shizhu's ghost blood was in the hands of Emperor Xudu. After the long-distance transfer, there is still a faint Xuan Force in the blood, and there is no sign of weakness in the Xuan Force, which is enough to prove that Xiao Shizhu not only came back from the Yellow Spring, but also unscathed.
Of course, Emperor Xudu didn't know that all this was a fraud by Xiao Shizhu.
Just thinking of this, Emperor Xudu couldn't help but feel a little lost, and couldn't help but sigh.
Now in the eyes of Emperor Xudu, the only place where he won Xiao Shizhu was that he had quietly lured the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, an ally of the Nine Shades Country, into becoming the enemy of the Nine Shades Country.
And even if the Nine Shadows Kingdom found out about this, it wouldn't be able to do anything about the Northern Yin Dynasty, but would have a headache for one more enemy.
The advantages of this plan outweigh the disadvantages, and the Emperor Xudu will make a steady profit without losing money.
At most, he lost Dongyingzhou, but he originally planned to give up Dongyingzhou.
But the problem is that just such a good news is not enough to dispel the haunting loss of Emperor Xudu.
However, fortunately, the creation of the Sky Splitting Blood Soul Beast was already going on in secret, step by step. As long as the peace talks can be exchanged for more than five years, the Emperor Xudu will be able to create a powerful army of fierce beasts to compete with the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
At that time, the Nine Shadows Kingdom has a strong military industry and soldiers who are familiar with some magic and ghosts, while the Northern Yin Dynasty has a strong army of murderers and ghost generals who are proficient in some magic and ghosts. It is difficult to predict which of the two sides will be better or worse.
At the very least, the Northern Yin Dynasty can reverse the declining trend that is gradually emerging. At least, that's what Emperor Xudu predicted.
Thinking of this, Emperor Xudu was in a slightly better mood.
At this moment, he withdrew his gaze and saw that the Wheel King was hurrying towards him from not far away.
Emperor Xudu silently carried Xuanqi, and a ghost fire rose between his fingers holding the cotton ball, burning the cotton ball in his hand in an instant.
When the green smoke rose slowly with the wind, and the cotton balls turned into bits of ash slowly slipped from the fingers of the Emperor Xudu, the hurried King of Rotation had already walked to the side of the Emperor Xudu with a quick breath, and after standing still, he couldn't care about taking a breath, so he hurriedly saluted.
"What's wrong?" Emperor Xudu asked, continuing to look at the slowly changing clouds in the sky.
Generally, when the Rotation King looked flustered and hurried to see the Emperor Xudu, it would not be a good thing.
The Emperor of Xudu has been accustomed to it, not to mention that the current Beiyin Dynasty is already stormy, there are more lice and are not afraid of itching, and there are more debts, so how bad can it be.
Emperor Xudu was therefore very calm.
"Your Majesty, it's not good. The Reincarnation King raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead, his expression was even more panicked, and he said urgently: "The fortifications in our southeast coastal area, the sea patrol division and the army's special warehouse, have been attacked by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。
With that, the Reincarnation King had already escaped from his sleeve and sent the battle report to the Emperor of Xudu urgently.
The muscles in the corners of Emperor Xudu's eyes twitched a few times, and he reached out to take the battle report, and unfolded it to take a closer look.
Before he didn't look at it, the expression of Emperor Xudu was still calm. At a glance, Emperor Xudu's eyebrows were raised, the green tendons on his forehead gradually erupted, and the anger instantly covered his cheeks that immediately became iron-blue.
It was clearly written in the battle report that the fleet and army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were like a storm, quickly sweeping through the southeast coastal areas of the Six Heavenly Continents under the rule of Emperor Xudu, causing a lot of losses to the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Not only the losses of the army and fleet, but also the houses in the warehouse were plundered by the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Many of them were for the food and grass and clothing of the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty, as well as arrows and **.
Although these looted materials were not countless, they still made Emperor Xudu angry.
"Did you send the battle report to Lu Zhidao?" he tore up the battle report, suppressed the anger churning in his chest, gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice.
The Rotation King beside him didn't answer, but just nodded, indicating that this battle report had been sent.
"Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is who to send to the southeast. However, a moment later, the King of Rotation hurriedly admonished Emperor Xudu: "Judging from the battle report, the morale of the soldiers in the southeast region of the Six Heavens Continent is low. Moreover, the fortifications must be rebuilt, and capable generals must be sent to the southeast region to preside over the reconstruction work, so as not to become a gap for the governor of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。
