The mountain wind howled, but it couldn't blow the mausoleum trees in the mausoleum forest, which had not moved for thousands of years. In the light of the moon, in addition to being cold, there is also a bit of desolation.

The lieutenant general beside Zhu Maichen also let out a long sigh, blinking in the night wind, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes. This vicious-looking ghost soldier had a bit of a frustrated look on his face that he shouldn't have.

Now he also believes that the repeated defeats this time are not because the Xudu army is too cowardly, but because the Jiuyou army outside the forest is too strong. The commander of the Nine Shadows Army here is a ruthless character they have never encountered before. It always seems to be able to catch their weaknesses and then use them to fight back.

Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible, and it is vividly played by the commanders of the Nine Shadows Kingdom.

even turned the Lingshi Forest, a place with complex terrain, into an advantage, which caught Zhu Maichen off guard and frustrated their self-esteem again and again.

The wind and clouds in the sky changed, the moon was covered by dark clouds, and for a time the heavens and the earth were darkened, and the mausoleum trees lost their previous luster, and they were also immersed in the darkness of the night.

Like frightened birds, the Xudu army did not dare to light a lamp and light a fire even so, for fear that the open flames would attract the Nine Shadows Kingdom outside the forest, but there would be trouble.

They were huddled and shivering in the colder and colder night wind.

The dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, and the clear sky had long been covered by dark clouds. After the night wind became stronger, the lightning flashed deep into the dark clouds, followed by the sound of rolling thunder.

In the air, there is a hint of sweetness and humidity. On this day, I'm afraid it's going to rain again.

"What now?" the lieutenant thought about it, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and his chest burned. The anxious mood made him a little irritable, but he was at a loss for what to do.

After thinking about it, the deputy general still said: "Don't we go out from the northwest of the forest and go to Dushuo Mountain to find General Yu Lei?"

Zhu Maichen pursed his lips and sneered, and there was a cold rain in the air falling from the sky and slapping on Zhu Maichen's face: "Can you rush out?"

He was right, this mausoleum forest is next to the southwest prefecture and county of the Qingqiu Fox Country on one side, and the northwest border of the Jingren Kingdom on the other. Only the west is no longer within the sphere of influence of the Nine Shadows Kingdom. However, the forest is long and narrow from east to west, hundreds of miles long, and the terrain is complex. I'm afraid that before they can rush out, they will already starve to death in this mausoleum forest.

What's more, this mausoleum forest was originally used to besiege Zhu Maichen, and the Nine Shadows Army could lay down this interlocking poisonous plan to trap him here, and they would never let him out easily.

Thinking of this, the lieutenant general let out another long lament, and suddenly there was a little helplessness and despair in his eyes.

The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and the cold and hungry Xudu army has nothing to do. can only be in this increasingly dense cold rain, dazed and melancholy.

After a long time, Zhu Maichen, whose face was covered by the rain, slowly lowered his head, looked around at the soldiers who were faintly visible in the darkness around him, and the dazed eyes gradually faded for some reason.

"Lay down your arms, take off your armor, and go out of the forest and surrender. Zhu Maichen opened his chapped and swollen lips, and after a moment of wanting to speak, he finally said weakly: "All the ghosts in the underworld know that although the Nine Shadows Army is brave and good at fighting, it does not kill innocents indiscriminately. In the future, as long as you are loyal to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, you will be able to live. ”。

After saying that, Zhu Maichen closed his eyes. There was clear water sliding from the corner of my eye, and I don't know if it was rain or tears. I only knew that before he closed his eyes, there was a trace of remorse in his originally calm eyes.

The Jiuyou National Army obviously won't let Zhu Maichen live, and if he dies, it will be equivalent to breaking one of the arms of the Emperor Xudu, and it can also mess up the powerful ghost soldiers recalled from the world by the Northern Yin Dynasty in Dongyingzhou. But the ghost soldiers under his command, as long as they swear allegiance to the Nine Ghost Kingdom and no longer be enemies of this ghost country, there must be a way to live. As long as Zhu Maichen did not accompany him, those ghost soldiers would not be killed because of surrender. The Jiuyou National Army did not see Zhu Maichen following, so it would naturally treat these Xudu troops well.

When the remorse rose, Zhu Maichen had already paid attention to it in his heart. He had to stay here and wait for his death, in exchange for a way to survive for the ghost soldiers around him.

"Lord Taiwei?" The lieutenant sat up straight suddenly, his incredible gaze burst out of his eyes, like an arrow from the string and went straight to Zhu Maichen, and his mouth exclaimed: "Then how can you be worthy of the dead brother?"

"It's me who is sorry for them, it's the Beiyin Dynasty who is sorry for them. Zhu Maichen, who was still closing his eyes, slowly shook his head in the wind and rain, and sighed mournfully: "The Northern Yin Dynasty is over, even if there is still half of the country in hand, then the overlord of the future Yin Cao Difu will no longer be the Northern Yin Dynasty." It won't take long for these ten continents and six seas to be nothing more than the surname Xiao. If you continue to be loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty now, you will eventually die, and you are also sorry for the brothers who died to protect you. ”。

At this point, the sadness on Zhu Maichen's face became even stronger, and the souls of those people who were thrown into the Dan furnace that he saw on Luo Yu Mountain came to his mind. A ghost heart in his chest is already cold under the wind and rain.

With this tyrant who uses the soul of the people to refine the pill, even if the Nine Shadows Country is full of mediocrity, then the Northern Yin Dynasty is definitely defeated. At the beginning, Zhu Maichen had never been reincarnated, and was loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu, but he just thought that since the world of this Yin Cao Difu was already like this, as long as he had the heart, there was still room for change.

But now that he has failed miserably, he is haggard and thinks of the souls of those who were thrown into the Dan furnace without hesitation, and he is extremely disappointed in this Northern Yin Dynasty.

After thinking about it, he didn't want to watch his men go down to the funeral of such a dynasty that had no future and was about to perish. All Zhu Maichen could do was persuade the ghost soldiers to surrender.

"The soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom are sharp, and we alone are powerless to return to the sky. It's better to surrender and survive. In the dark, the ghosts surrounded Zhu Maichen, and listened to Zhu Maichen's teachings in a daze: "Don't be a tiger again, be with the Beiyin Dynasty, and don't return to the world to continue to do evil." It is the best choice for you to live. ”。

The wind and rain were more intense at night, and the icy rain continued to hit the Lingshi Forest. Soon, the raindrops that fell on the trees turned into splashes of water and bounced in all directions. The mud in the forest was covered with mud and muddy water.

The ghost soldiers of the Xudu Army beside Zhu Maichen also began to shake in the night wind. Tired and hungry, and suffering losses again and again, they were also jealous of the Nine Shadows Army outside the forest. Under the fear, the loyalty to the Northern Yin Dynasty has long ceased to exist, and with the wind and rain in the night, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The wind howled like a tiger, the lightning flashed, and in an instant the forest was like day. Soon, darkness came like a tidal wave, drowning the mausoleum trees that lined the mountains.

The sound of unarmouring sounded in the wind and rain, followed by the clatter of weapons falling to the ground, which also echoed in the Lingshi Forest in the night rain.

In the dark, the look on Zhu Maichen's face, who was still closed, gradually regained his calm. A dazzling thunderbolt pierced the darkness and illuminated everything in the forest. Zhu Maichen also raised his hand and waved, signaling the ghost soldiers to surrender quickly.

Even though he was ruthless and did all kinds of evil in the past, he was also an iron-clad man, and his eyes were indeed red at this moment, and his reluctant expression lingered in his eyes for a long time.

The drizzle turned into showers, and the breeze turned into a strong wind. Another dazzling thunderbolt pierced the darkness in the night sky again after the muffled thunder landed, illuminating the heavens and the earth.

After the ghost soldiers around Zhu Maichen saluted Zhu Maichen respectfully, they stepped on the messy weapons and armor all over the ground and walked towards the darkness outside the forest.

They already know the terrain of the surrounding area. No matter how complex the terrain in the forest is, they will no longer be trapped in it.

When the ghost soldiers were all gone, Zhu Maichen turned his head in the dark, stared at the deputy general next to him who could only see a vague silhouette, and said lightly: "You can go too." ”。

"Tai Wei, it's not that the last general is unwilling to obey the general's order, it's just that the last general knows that the Tai Wei has no intention of living. In the darkness, the deputy general choked up with red eyes: "The captain regards us as brothers, and the last general naturally treats the captain the same way." If you have the heart to die, the last general will also have the heart to accompany you, please allow the last general to accompany you on the road. ”。

Zhu Maichen was a little relieved when he heard this, and wanted to persuade a few more words, but when he heard the adjutant general's tone, he didn't say much in the end, just raised the corners of his mouth and showed a light smile with fearlessness......

In the Yellow Springs, in the holy place where the Queen of Yellow Springs lives.

After watching Xiao Shizhu and their boat rush into the mist wandering on the lake, Ke Yun led his men to turn around and head towards the way they came.

She is the general guarding the border, if she doesn't want to escort Xiao Shizhu here, she can't easily come to this holy place without being summoned.

Now that the guest had arrived, she could not stay, so she had to turn around and go back to the border of the yellow sand that she had guarded.

Ke Yun didn't have any complaints, and he didn't have the slightest memory when the beast left. After walking for a while, she suddenly felt a little anxious, so she hurriedly stopped, turned over and got off Dangkang, and ran towards the latrine not far from the roadside.

The guards who followed her also stopped and waited quietly on the side of the road. Looking around at the beautiful scenery of the surrounding holy land, the green mountains and green waters, to play and kill time.

Ke Yun, who rushed into the simple toilet, took off her animal skin skirt and squatted, her face suddenly looked comfortable.

Just when Ke Yun was refreshed, he heard footsteps stepping into the next door separated by a wall, and after a while, there was the sound of rushing water.

Although the latrines here are simple, they are also different from men and women. There is a men's toilet opposite, so it's not surprising that there are ghosts coming in and out. Ke Yun's face flushed slightly, and he tried his best to control his breathing and not make too much noise.

At this moment, in the midst of the sound of the water, I remembered a rough male ghost voice: "The knife and axe hands are all arranged, what else do you have to worry about?"

Judging from the voice and the sound of running water, there is more than one ghost on the other side.

Immediately afterward, there was another soft lament from the other side of the foul-smelling latrine. Then, when the sigh landed and the sound of running water stopped abruptly, Ke Yun heard the voice of a young male ghost, and said slowly: "The old thing can live for so many years, it must have some ability." Although the arranged sword and axe hand is experienced in many battles, I am afraid that it is not her opponent. I always felt that there were always loopholes in this plan, and that the preparation was too hasty. The whole plan began when I knew that the Son of God was coming, and it was only two days now. Is Lord Lin Wan in a hurry?"

Hearing this, Ke Yun's heart couldn't help but chuckle. When his eyes were so wide that the corners of his eyes were about to crack, he raised his hand and covered his mouth tightly.

She knew both of the two men on the other side who were talking about it. Xiao Shizhu, the son of God, was escorted by her, and as for Lin Yun, she was even more familiar.

That is the high-ranking maid beside Queen Huangquan, who must be on the island in the lake at this moment, waiting for Xiao Shizhu and their group of ghosts.

Then the old thing they talked about in their mouths is the Queen of Yellow Springs.
