Xiaoyue took the troop transfer token, turned around and left.

Within a few steps, he had already leaned down, landed on all four paws, like a wolf in the wilderness, smelling the bloody smell of war, and was so excited that he threw his legs again and again, and rushed down the mountain, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Queen Huangquan was a little relieved.

She sent the fastest and strongest cavalry under her rule, and the cavalry general with the most combat experience, and the ghost soldiers around Xiao Shizhu were a rabble, most of them were slaves he saved during his northern expedition to Jiuquan Valley, and his combat experience was limited after all.

And Xiao Shizhu was injured again, and her strength was greatly reduced, and Queen Huangquan decided that she had eaten Xiao Shizhu. couldn't help but snort coldly, raised the corners of his mouth, and said to himself disdainfully: "What son of God, it's just like that!"

After that, she turned around and went to the depths of the small building, picked up the last two life-killing pestles, put them in her sleeve, and walked out of the small building, also going down the mountain.

Although Xiao Shizhu is dead, Queen Huangquan still has many questions, and she has to be answered by Lin Yun, who is imprisoned in the dungeon.

For example, why she absorbed most of Xiao Shizhu's ghost lives, and whether the harsh environment and climate still haven't changed, etc., Queen Huangquan needs to ask Lin Wan clearly......

On the Black Thunder Mountain, where the wind and sand were shrouded, it was dark.

The flying sand and rocks swept in and away, and the rustling sound kept echoing in the roaring wind.

Every soldier who remained outside the stone room had to tear a piece of cloth to cover their mouths and noses, leaving only their eyes exposed under the brim of their hats, which made them all look like a group of horse thieves in the desert.

From time to time, they peeked out from behind the wall and looked at the wind and sand around them. Then, he shrank back again, dodging the strong wind that hurt his cheeks behind the wall.

After arranging all the sentry posts and checking them a few times, Ke Yun entered the stone chamber where Xiao Shizhu was waiting with a map of the southern part of Huangquan.

This map was hard for her to find.

Escaping from the Yellow Springs Holy Land was too hasty, and most of the belongings were only taken with them. Fortunately, there is water in the sheltered place, and there will be some stored food, so if you save some food, eating and drinking will not be a problem for the time being.

But things like maps have become a rarity. Ke Yun asked a lot of ghost soldiers, and finally found this map on the body of a junior non-commissioned officer.

The dim lights swayed violently with Ke Yun's action of opening the door. A large amount of wind and sand suddenly poured in, almost blowing out the lone lamp in the house.

The female squire struck in time, shrouded the lampstand at hand, and injected the aura of fire into the flickering flames before it settled.

Ke Yun, who closed them, strode to the opposite side of Xiao Shizhu: "Son of God, you are awake, I have a lot of things and questions to ask you." ”。

But he didn't hand over the map in his hand for a long time, and gave it to Xiao Shizhu, who needed it.

"Well, you ask. Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting cross-legged, regained a lot of strength, and he was no longer so weak to speak.

"Why did the queen fight with you?" asked Ke Yun bluntly.

"I don't know what she's going to do, that's the way it is. Xiao Shizhu, who sighed, had a little disappointment in his eyes, disappointment in Queen Huangquan, and opened his lips slightly, telling Ke Yun in front of him what had happened one by one.

Xiao Shizhu did not exaggerate and conceal it, nor did he need to exaggerate and conceal any facts, let alone deliberately scandalize Queen Huangquan, but just told the facts one by one.

Ke Yun, who was still solemn at first, was surprised when he listened to it, and there were more and more incredible eyes in his eyes. His lips were slightly open, but he couldn't make a sound.

How could she never have imagined that Queen Huangquan, who had always been the benevolent representative of Huangquan, would do something that hurt people behind her back and suddenly attacked?

But Xiao Shizhu, who was about to die before, was right in front of her Ke Yun. At this time, Xiao Shizhu, although he had woken up from a coma, his face was still not good, and he was very weak.

Even if Ke Yun was not good at perceiving, at a close distance, she could easily detect that the ghost qi in Xiao Shizhu's body at this time was no longer as strong as before.

All of this is consistent with what Xiao Shizhu said, and most of his ghost life was taken away in an instant.

"What does the queen want your ghost life to do?" waited until Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, Ke Yun, who had relieved himself a little from surprise, asked in a daze.

"I don't know. Xiao Shizhu said with a look, and motioned to Xun Xiang to hand the Netherworld Red Gold, which they had studied for a long time, to Ke Yun for a look.

Ke Yun also handed the map to Xunxiang after the result.

After a closer look, Ke Yun said affirmatively: "Indeed, this thing is not our Huangquan metal. There is no craftsmanship or technology in Huangquan to create such a thing. ”。

As she spoke, she picked up the red gold and put it under her nose and sniffed it, and after a light knock, she put it to her ear and listened to the dull sound that echoed in it.

The firm look on his face did not decrease but increased, and then turned into suspicion and confusion, intertwined between his facial features: "Where did the queen get it?"

"From the hands of the ghost envoy sent by the old ghost of Xudu. Xun Xiang said, taking the Netherworld Red Gold she handed over.

"That son of the god, what are you going to do next?" Ke Yun's gaze fell on Xiao Shizhu's face again, who had already unfolded the map. There was a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Go home. Xiao Shizhu replied lightly, and after spreading the map on the ground in front of him, he picked up a few small stones in the house and pressed them on the four corners of the map.

"Ke Yun, don't worry. After a pause, he looked at Xiao Shizhu, who had a landscape pattern outlined by the lines on the map, and said, "As long as Queen Huangquan doesn't force me anymore, I won't kill me anymore." But if she pushes me again, I'll kill all the ghosts and ghosts who are preventing me from getting home. ”。

There is no need to look up, Xiao Shizhu also knows what Ke Yun is worried about.

Ke Yun has seen Xiao Shizhu's wisdom, his kindness, and the cruelty of this son of God. Don't talk about it from afar, let's just say that when he was in the Nine Springs Valley, wasn't the Rakshasa King killed by Xiao Shizhu's ten thousand swords.

The pile of stumps and blood stains that turned into corpses after death are still vivid in my mind.

Ke Yun was nothing more than worried, and Xiao Shizhu was angry with the ghosts in the Yellow Springs.

"Even so, I am willing to follow you all the time and go with you to the underworld. Ke Yun, who breathed a sigh of relief, walked out and sat down opposite Xiao Shizhu as he said this.

Queen Huangquan's actions today disappointed Ke Yun. But she saw the only hope and way out in Xiao Shizhu's body.

From the moment she followed Xiao Shizhu out of the valley, this ending was already doomed.

But Xiao Shizhu's answer made Tai Fengshi Cassia and Qin Yuan, the impatient ghost generals, feel aggrieved. Only Xun Xiang and Nu Lu, as well as the national teacher Yingying, knew that Xiao Shizhu did not do this to give up revenge, but to live first.

If you die, you have nothing left, and you can't do anything. The matter of revenge can only be discussed in the long run after returning to the underworld.

Xiao Shizhu beckoned, motioning for all the ghosts in the house to sit down.

After everyone gathered around the map, he looked around at the ghosts and said slowly: "Although we will not be angry with the ghosts of Huangquan, all our actions in the past few days are still related to our life and death. Every step we take must not be sloppy. ”。

The ghosts nodded in unison, but they were silent.

The atmosphere in the stone chamber suddenly became tense and suppressed.

"I looked at the map, and I also made a preliminary calculation, we are still three days away from the passage of the two realms. In this way, it had to be on the road, and there were no obstacles and ambushes. Xiao Shizhu, who retracted his gaze, looked at the map on the ground in front of him again, and his raised fingertips were accurately pointed at the coordinates of Black Thunder Mountain on the map.

"And I was sure that Queen Huangquan would definitely send her pursuers, and she already knew what I was going to do, and the road would be difficult. Xiao Shizhu rarely showed a serious look, and continued to stare at the map and said, "But these pursuers are beneficial to us. The water and supplies on them are all our supply stations along the way. ”。

"Lord, are you saying that as long as we strike first, we can avoid being ambushed and intercepted, and we can also get the materials we need?" Tai Feng pondered for a moment, and guessed what Xiao Shizhu was going to do: "And in this way, it is not that we are killing innocents indiscriminately, but for self-defense." ”。

The latter sentence seemed to be said to Ke Yun not far away.

"Well, it's true that we're not killing innocents indiscriminately, we're just defending ourselves, just to survive. Of course, if these ghost soldiers are willing not to attack us, I can even let them go without even supplies. Xiao Shizhu did not hesitate to put his head a little heavier, and raised his eyes to look at Ke Yun: "So I need your help, please point me out a place on the map where there can be an ambush nearby." We must first settle the worries of the pursuers, and then retreat north, all the way to the passage of the two realms. ”。

Ke Yun responded, but did not rush to give Xiao Shizhu advice, but looked at the map first and thought about it.

It wasn't until a moment later that she slowly raised her head and pointed to the north of the Black Thunder Mountain on the map, which was probably no more than a mile away.

On the map where she fingered, there was a dense array of gravel patterns, each tiny. To the east and west of these gravel patterns, there are several small sand dunes standing on the yellowed map.

"What kind of place is this?" Xiao Shizhu raised his eyes and glanced at Ke Yun opposite.

"There are countless sand dunes on the east and west sides of the strange rocky valley that runs north-south, but the sand dunes cannot hide. However, there are countless stone pinnacles and stone pillars scattered among the dunes, with different shapes and heights, which are the best hiding and ambush spots. Ke Yun, whose finger still fell on the map, raised his head and looked at Xiao Shizhu: "If I were the Queen of Huangquan, and I happened to know that we were sheltered from the wind in Heilei Mountain, I would definitely have laid an ambush here." ”。

"What did you do here in the past?" Xiao Shizhu asked as he lowered his head and looked at Ke Yun's finger on the ground.

"Secret grain routes and troop routes. Ke Yun raised his finger and said, "Once the Holy Land is besieged, as long as you can send a distress letter, the northern garrison will quietly enter the vicinity of the Holy Land along here and stab the enemy in the back." ”。

"Because of those strange stones between the hills, can they effectively block the whereabouts of reinforcements?" Xiao Shizhu asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, almost all of the plains around the Holy Land are plains. As long as you can climb high and overlook, there are birds and beasts in most places, and you can see it clearly. Ke Yun nodded and said, "But here you can effectively hide the traces of reinforcements, and there is also the Black Thunder Mountain in the south in front of us as a barrier, which hinders the line of sight." The army can suddenly kill from it and take the enemy by surprise. ”。

"Queen Huangquan knows that I am leaving with you, and she must know that I will give you advice. The pursuers she sent would also think that we should take advantage of the location of the strange stone valley to escape. At the end, Ke Yun added: "Then set up an ambush in the valley in advance." ”。
