The wind outside the small building swept through the bamboo forest, bringing up bursts of rolling blue waves. The maids went in and out, bringing wine and food into the small building one by one.

Lou Zhong was surprised not only by Queen Huangquan, but even Ke Yun, who was temporarily serving as a guard by her side, was also shocked.

Xiao Shizhu, a ghost from a foreign land, not only helped them resolve the crisis of being besieged, but also helped them clean up the ghost soldiers who lived in the ghost capital and slaughtered the ghost soldiers who lived in the ghosts in accordance with the will of the Emperor Xudu, which was too selfless.

It simply made Queen Huangquan and Ke Yun listen to it, not only did they feel incredible, but they also felt that Xiao Shizhu was a human soul worthy of their respect.

For a while, they all felt that Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting, seemed taller than standing.

Who knew that this was Xiao Shizhu's little trick. Helping them is true and sincere, but in the purpose of doing this, Xiao Shizhu's selfish desires are still hidden.

It's just that Xiao Shizhu was filled with righteous indignation and covered it up strictly.

"Ke Yun. After a while, when Xiao Shizhu was full of righteous indignation, Queen Huangquan came to her senses, and the first thing she did was to give a categorical order to Ke Yun beside her: "From today onwards, you and your ghost soldiers will obey the dispatch of the Son of God until he leaves Huangquan." ”。

"Yes. Ke Yun first responded without hesitation out of the instinct of a soldier, but then hesitated: "But Queen, the war here in the Holy Land has just ended, and everywhere needs to strengthen defenses and redeploy, is it too early for me to leave......

"My mystical power has been restored, the powerlessness caused by the body weakness flower has completely disappeared, and I can do a good job of defending the Holy Land and redeploying troops from all over the country. Queen Huangquan smiled disappreciatively, took out a talisman and handed it to the maid, motioning for the other party to send it to Xiao Shizhu.

"Ke Yun is the general who sent you to the Holy Land, and her station is also the closest to the territory of the ghost soldiers in the land under my rule. As a general guarding the border, her knowledge of the ghost soldiers in Huangquan and the terrain in their territory will also be very helpful to you as a child of the gods. I also wish that Xiao Shizhu proposed that Queen Huangquan, who attacked the ghost soldiers of Xudu instead of her, did not even have the slightest hesitation, and temporarily handed over part of the military power to Xiao Shizhu.

Xiao Shizhu took the rectangular brass talisman from the maid's hand, and after a few glances left and right, he put it into his sleeve.

"By the way, I haven't asked the Son of God yet, what are you doing all the way to Huangquan?" Seeing that he gladly accepted the talisman, the Queen of Huangquan asked again.

Xiao Shizhu took a sip of wine, swallowed a mouthful of meat in his mouth, and said to Queen Huangquan: "Actually, I came to borrow troops to go back to the Yin Cao Mansion and fight the Emperor of the Imperial Palace." It is also so that I can trade with Huangquan in the ghost country in the underworld. ”。

"If I help you solve the ghost soldiers in Huangquan, is the Queen of Huangquan willing to lend me soldiers? Are you willing to let go of the hatred abandoned by the ancient gods and trade with me, the ghost country of the son of the gods?" Xiao Shizhu did not shy away from anything, let alone go around in circles, and bluntly stated the purpose of his visit: "We also have our specialties, and we can exchange various materials with you. ”。

After hearing this, Queen Huangquan suddenly hesitated, and did not give Xiao Shizhu a refreshing and direct reply as before, but frowned and thought about it.

When Xiao Shizhu was still in the Netherworld, he calculated that there would be such a possibility and was mentally prepared. At this time, I saw that Queen Huangquan was not in a hurry to reply, nor was she anxious, she was eating wine and meat leisurely, and she did not rush and stared at Queen Huangquan at the same time.

In the silent small building, there was a hint of embarrassment in the atmosphere. It's just that Xiao Shizhu doesn't care.

"You helped us, not to mention that we don't have any hatred for the ancient gods, and we hate the Emperor Xudu who killed innocents indiscriminately. After a long time, Queen Huangquan stretched her brows and said with a little hesitation to Xiao Shizhu: "But please allow me to discuss the matter of borrowing troops for trade." Many of us ghosts were born and raised in Huangquan and came out without seeing the outside world. They may be afraid of this, but let me consult with them. ”。

Xiao Shizhu was not disappointed, but nodded happily and agreed.

This is not going out of a country, but from one world to another, it really takes a lot of courage, Xiao Shizhu still understands. will not be naïve enough to ask the Queen of Huangquan to ask for the grace of dripping water, and the spring will reciprocate.

"I will do my best to convince my subjects to reassure the Son of God. Even if you can't wipe out all the butchers of the ghost soldiers, I'll do my best. Queen Huangquan, who paused, gave him a solemn assurance: "Please rest assured, even if you don't do so much for us, I will try my best to build a trade between our two worlds." ”。

"Thank you. Xiao Shizhu's face remained unchanged, but his eyes were already showing gratitude.

In any case, he has already taken a step in this trip to Yellow Springs, and all that remains is to wait for the results. And even if Queen Huangquan and her subjects discussed, no ghost was willing to fight for the Netherworld and trade with the Netherworld, Xiao Shizhu's trip was not for nothing.

At least among the ghosts of Huangquan, and the national teacher Yingying has already won the grain of jade grain, Xiao Shizhu feels that this trip is worth it, at least it is not a loss......

A whole stack of information was piled up on the desk in front of the frowning Ying Zhao, and there was still a lot of information on the way to transmission. When so much information was sent one after another, the menacing Xudu Army and the Xuandi Army were not far from Shuoyue Island.

And some of the reinforcement troops of the Nine Shadows Country have already arrived, but most of them are still on the way. Even so, the island has limited territory and cannot accommodate so many troops, from regular troops to militias that all the people are soldiers, and the number of troops that can be mobilized on the island is barely a million.

One million, still reluctantly, to face an army of nearly five million, Ying Zhao really didn't know what words to use to encourage the generals and lieutenants sitting around him.

For a while, the lobby of the military government yamen fell into silence. The depressing atmosphere is full of panic in everyone's heart.

It's just that their military merits and ranks are all swords and shots on the battlefield, and they are not afraid of the Xudu Army. It's nothing more than thinking about this island, even if the old, young, women and children were evacuated in advance, there were still hundreds of thousands of young and middle-aged people, and many families of generals and officials who were unwilling to retreat and wanted to live and die with the island.

The sword has no eyes, and once the war begins, no one can guarantee that the next day, familiar people and faces will be seen.

This is where the depressing atmosphere and panic come from.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all veterans who have followed the lord to the east and west. He is also a warrior who has twice guarded Shuoyue Island with me. After a long time, Ying Zhao looked directly at the generals below, took the lead in breaking the silence for a long time, and said very calmly: "I don't doubt your loyalty and courage, and neither will the court and the lord. But the Mother of the Nation has asked me to give you a choice, who is not willing to die here, can leave here tomorrow with the last group of old and young women and children to be evacuated. ”。

Ying Zhao, who paused, stood up, then looked directly at the generals in front of him, took a deep breath and said: "You don't have to have any psychological burden, I know that the enemy is ten times overwhelmed, and everyone wants to live desperately under this kind of tension." The mother of the country also understands, so she will give you this last choice, think about it. It's decided, you can leave tomorrow. ”。

Ying Zhao said, after bypassing the handsome case, he slowly walked behind the gate of the main hall, stood behind the threshold, and raised his eyes to look into the distance.

Today's weather is just right, the sea is blue and the white clouds are long. From the oncoming wind, Ying Zhao felt a faint moisture and hit his face with the wind.

The long mane around his neck swayed in the wind. The refreshing cool breeze blew him temporarily relaxed and relaxed.

As far as the eye can see, there is a large fleet that seems to be filling up the sea, and under the escort of the naval cavalry and the Moon, it is killing in this direction.

The weather was good, but only temporary. Within four or five days, under the majestic green mountains, the beautiful islands like the crescent moon on the sea and the deep waters around them, will become hideous and terrifying.

At that time, the fishy wind will be everywhere, and the smoke of gunpowder will be filled. The clear waters will be stained red, and the majestic green mountains will be covered in flames. The sparkling beauty and evergreen beauty of the vegetation no longer exists.

The screams, the shouts of killing, the sound of *, the cries and the sound of gunfire, the sharp sound of arrows cutting through the air, will replace the melodious sound of the wind and the chirping of birds in the mountains.

Ying Zhao could already imagine how tragic the island would be at that time.

He also didn't want his subordinates to die in vain again, but they were soldiers, and soldiers had to defend the land and fight. For the sake of their homes and families behind them, they must be brave.

It's just that Ying Zhao also understands fear, so he will respect the choices of the lieutenants behind him. After thinking about it, Ying Zhao said in a calm tone: "I have the same meaning as the mother of the country and the lord." No matter what you choose, we will not think you are cowardly, let alone question your bravery. But please remember that the Lord and my country will not lose. The ten continents and six seas of the underworld will one day be filled with flower flags on the other side of our country!".

The mountain wind blew again, swept past Ying Zhao and blew behind him, whirling around the lobby.

The generals and lieutenants, who had been thinking for a long time, looked up, and the hesitation on their faces was gone. The generals with firm faces turned their heads to look at the Ying Zhao who had their backs to them.

"I believe in the marshal, and I believe in the lord and the mother of the country, so I will not withdraw, I am willing to live and die with my brothers on the island. "The first to stand up was the deputy general Yu Xuan, who had just been promoted. A few years ago, he was just the general flag of the British Guard.

In the two battles for the defense of Shuoyue Island, he performed very well, killed the enemy bravely, and accumulated countless military industries. A few days ago, he led his army to the waters northeast of Shuoyue Island, and cleared the enemy's sea supply points for this battle, and transported back a lot of captured weapons and materials.

Ying Zhao reported this to the Yuque Palace and promoted him to the new lieutenant general.

His words resonated with the other generals, and they all spoke, and said in a gossipy voice: "Don't worry, Dashuai, we are here, and the island is there." ”。

"Isn't it nearly five million enemy troops, and we haven't fought the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty. ”

"That's it, kill as many as you want. ”

"If the bolt is empty, we can use crossbow arrows, and the crossbow arrows are gone, and we go into battle shirtless. This island is by no means something that the Xudu army can cross. ”。

"We live and die together, and we share weal and beyond. I'm on the island!" ......

These firm words are deafening. Ying Zhao's heart was hot, and his eyes were full of excitement.

"Yes, we live and die together, don't think about crossing Shuoyue Island, and don't want to plant the dragon flag of the Northern Yin Dynasty on the island. Ying Zhao, who slowly turned around, looked around at his subordinates with firm faces, and said, "Let's create a miracle together, a miracle and history that can go down in history." ”。

"No!" The generals with solemn faces hurriedly dressed in their robes, saluted in unison, and responded without hesitation.
