[473] Death
Chen Ye never expected that it would be such an ending. In the dimly lit hall, the Wheel King raised his hand and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
The spring rain is outside the hall, with the cold and icy wind falling from the sky, like cow hair like a fine needle splashed on Luo Yu Mountain, bringing up a full spring mood, the palace and pavilion in the six heavenly gods and ghosts palace, gradually washed clean.
But it couldn't wash away the anger that was churning in the heart of Emperor Xudu.
He guessed correctly at first, this matter was indeed manipulated by the Nine Shadows Kingdom behind the scenes. Everything that Emperor Xudu sees now is just the surface and illusion of the whole thing.
In fact, all the action orders received by the remnants of the Mo family over the years were given to them by Xiao Shizhu or Lin Cong behind their backs, taking advantage of the weakness of the unfast communication in the underworld, and giving them under the pretense of Mo Zhai's name and handwriting.
And this crackdown was naturally planned by Lin Cong and Xiao Shizhu after some deliberation through the fungus messenger. The intention is to let the remnants of the Mo family fight to the death with the Xudu Army first, so that in the Xiazhou Kingdom, the war between the Xudu Army and the Corpse Soul Army of the Bi Corpse Country can last longer.
In this way, both the Nine Shadows Country and the Aoki County of the Nine Shadows Country will have time and opportunities to breathe.
"Spread the decree, the two ghosts of the Netherworld Division and the Yin and Yang Division sent the detectives to Dongyi Continent immediately, and be sure to exterminate the Mo family traitors in Dongyi Continent!"
The Wheel King saluted and withdrew.
As soon as the door opened, the icy whistling yin wind poured into the room, coupled with the awe-inspiring murderous aura exuded from the body of the Emperor Xudu, it was even more cold in this huge soul destroying hall.
The pillars carved with many human souls stripped of their clothes and tied to four wooden stakes in the shape of a "large" figure, were also covered with white frost on the pillars with strange and terrifying patterns that were sawed by demons from the crotch to the head.
The cold wind outside the door poured into the hall, blowing the robe on the body of the Emperor Xudu, and there was a hunting sound.
When the anger churning in the chest of the Emperor Xudu could not be dissipated, a ghost general of the forbidden army of the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace wearing golden armor rushed in from outside the hall, and after standing in front of the Emperor Xudu, this muscular and bearded ghost will clench his fists and say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister Ji Kang has been brought. ”。
"Oh?" Emperor Xudu was overjoyed when he heard this, and the anger and murderous intent that had been lingering on his face subsided a little, and he immediately turned around, stood with his hands behind his back to the temple door, stared at the screen behind the throne in the depths of the main hall, and said urgently: "Escort this damned ghost to the main hall." ”。
As he spoke, the anger on Emperor Xudu's face had not yet subsided, and the murderous aura on his body was still diffuse, making the atmosphere in the hall solemn, making this ghost general feel a little difficult to breathe.
But his heart was secretly cheering, the eyes and ears he was going to send to the Nine Shadows Kingdom were about to arrive, could he not secretly rejoice?
After the ghost general received the order, he immediately answered and turned around and walked out of the main hall.
In less than half a cup of tea, four ghosts holding water and fire sticks made of ghostly peach wood that was abundant on Taodu Mountain and could be used to fight ghosts, and six heavily armed Xudu soldiers walked in with a human soul in tattered prison clothes and bruises all over his body.
The one on the neck of this human soul is also a hundred-pound flail made of ghostly peach wood that can beat the ghost to the point that the soul qi is shattered and there is no luck. The shackles on his feet are also made of soul locking iron, and every step is a clanging sound.
This soul is Ji Kang, who was imprisoned from holding a calf.
Emperor Xudu turned around, walked to Ji Kang who was standing in the middle of the main hall with an angry face, looked at Ji Kang, who was lost in his soul and his eyes were no longer focused, and then waved his hand to signal the escorted ghosts and ghost soldiers to retreat.
The ghost messenger and the ghost soldiers led the order out of the main hall, and the ghost slaves guarding outside closed the door again, and the hall became much darker.
"You've suffered. After another moment, Emperor Xudu, who was looking directly at Ji Kang, put away his anger and said slowly to Ji Kang in a low voice.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Kang trembled, and the chains on his feet shook again, making a clanging sound.
These words came like a spring breeze, blowing a burst of warmth in Ji Kang's heart. And along the way, the grievances and sufferings suffered by Ji Kang also came to naught in this instant. Ji Kang, whose eyes were suddenly focused, was filled with excitement in his eyes, staring at the face of Emperor Xudu with a faint smile, opening his chapped lips, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty." ”。
When the word came out, Ji Kang was already in tears.
From a certain point of view, Emperor Xudu and Xiao Shizhu are both kinds of ghosts, they know when to say what to say and what to do.
Just like now, although Emperor Xudu didn't say much, when Ji Kang was moved, his loyalty in his heart was even stronger.
"I was forced to escort you back to Xudu, you have to understand me. Emperor Xudu sighed then, and his face suddenly became a little ashamed with the sigh, and then whispered: "How could I have believed that Gong Mingyi's words! As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against dark arrows, so I had to escort you to the capital and let you be wronged. ”。
As soon as these words came out, Ji Kang was even more moved, and for a while, he wanted to stop talking because he was moved, and then he knew that there were thousands of words in his chest, but it was a pause.
"And I have one more thing that I need to push the boat with the water and let you do it, I wonder if you are willing?"
"Your Majesty just commands. Ji Kang was greatly moved, and returned without thinking: "The minister is willing to smear the ground for Your Majesty and the liver and brain of the Beiyin Dynasty." ”。
"Good. After stroking his palms and applauding, Emperor Xudu paced to Ji Kang's side, muttering something in the other party's ear.
The wind and rain outside the temple became more and more urgent, and there was more and more water on the ground. The wind howled in the air, like a ghost crying wolf. The dark clouds were filled with purple lightning and tumbling, and the rumbling thunder sounded behind the thick black clouds.
After a long time, Emperor Xudu finally told Ji Kang about his plan. With a somewhat expectant gaze, he looked at Ji Kang's side face.
And Ji Kang did not hesitate, after turning his head a little harder, he said without flinching: "I am willing to do it, as long as I can serve His Majesty, the minister is willing to do it; ”。
"I have wronged you, on the day the Nine Shadows Kingdom is destroyed, you will be my great hero, the richest man in the palace and the government. Emperor Xudu put his head a little heavier, and after making a promise, he held Ji Kang's neck with his hand.
The ghost aura spread on the palm of Emperor Xudu's flail, and in an instant, small cracks appeared under the shackles, spreading under the shackles.
Even Ji Kang's shackles had many cracks. If you don't look closely, you really can't see it, but with a little bit of effort, these shackles and iron shackles will break into pieces.
And the shackles also lost their original function as the cracks spread. Ji Kang suddenly felt that the meridians in his body were activated, and the ghost qi could move freely.
"Remember, after a while, I will kill all the ghosts and sergeants who escorted you, and not a single one will be left alive. Emperor Xudu then retracted his ghostly anger and raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a mysterious smile.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xudu raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand vertically, lightly touched Ji Kang's eyebrows, and injected a wisp of mystical power into his body, making his ghost qi even thicker in an instant.
Ji Kang didn't feel pity for the dying ghosts, but nodded heartily.
"Come, send this hard-mouthed criminal to hell, and pry his mouth open by torture. Emperor Xudu then shouted angrily with a blue face, and those ghosts and Yin soldiers who had escorted Ji Kang here before entered the palace......
The cool spring breeze blew through the somewhat dry Mashou City. In the handsome tent of the Xudu Army, Ji Meng sat behind the handsome case, with a faint smug on his face.
Ten days ago, he led his army into this place, and King Mashou immediately led a hundred officials to welcome his arrival, which was a treatment that he Jimeng had never received in the Beiyin Dynasty.
Now that this Mashou country has accepted Zhao'an, the upper and lower military affairs have been handed over to Ji Meng, and King Mashou has also become a nominal Hades King, which makes Ji Meng even more proud.
The spring breeze blew across the big tent, blowing the big tent cloth and whistling, and also blowing the handsome flag hanging behind Ji Meng swaying a few times.
Just as he was reminiscing about the sense of superiority brought by all this, a ghost general dressed in bright armor on the top and a war skirt on the bottom, wearing a brass demon mask, but wearing a flowered crown on his head, and a little similar to the heavenly king enshrined in the temple and Taoist temple on earth, strode in from outside the tent.
After he walked to the handsome desk and stood still, he clasped his fists and bowed, and said, "Your great handsome, our scouts have reported that Ji Xuanyuan's army is gathering in the south of Youxiong Country, and there are millions of soldiers dispatched, as well as many siege equipment. Looking at it like this, there is a bear country that plans to use the mantis arm as a car. ”。
When Ji Meng, the generalissimo of the Western Expedition who was personally appointed by the Emperor of Xudu, heard this, he just snorted heavily and scolded in a deep voice: "This bear country is really dead!"
After scolding this, Ji Meng remembered that three days ago, the king of Yumen Mountain reported that the Lingshan Kingdom had transferred all the troops in the south of the country that were facing the army of the Xiong Kingdom half a month ago, and suddenly approached the area of Yumen Mountain to the east, and carried out subordination.
The Beiyin Dynasty tree has deep roots and is full of ghosts. And although Ji Meng was not a big official in the Beiyin Dynasty before this, he was extremely smart and had the talent to lead the army and fight, so the Emperor Xudu would let him go to Wild Ghost Village to recruit troops for the Beiyin Dynasty, and it was precisely because of this that the Emperor Xudu would not send anyone, but sent him to Fenglinzhou, where the situation was complicated and there might be a disaster of swords and soldiers at any time.
After thinking about it carefully, I immediately thought of whether there would be some agreement between the Bear Country and the Lingshan Country, otherwise the Lingshan Country would not be able to withdraw the border guards who confronted the Bear Country on the border.
Thinking of this, Ji Meng narrowed his eyes slightly, a fierce killing intent appeared in his eyes, and a cold words spit out from his lips: "Since he Ji Xuanyuan doesn't know how to lift, then let him not even have a chance to live." ”。
"What are the last generals going to do?" the demon general asked.
"You immediately go and let the pro-soldiers, take my lead and drive the beast soul to Changyang City quickly, and inform Qixing to lead the main force of the headless ghost army on their backs and start invading the country of bears. Soon, a two-line attack strategy was formed in Ji Meng's mind, and he immediately took out two fire sticks from the lottery holder and handed them to the ghost general: "Tell Qixing that the war with the bear country is mostly bombarded with artillery, and it is necessary to take it step by step, and encroach on the land and towns of the bear country little by little, don't be too hasty." Then inform the Ma Shou army to assemble quickly, and after going north, enter the north of the lifeless beach and start deploying. ”。
With that, Ji Meng stood up and strode over to the map hanging in the tent.
