The wind was screaming, and the wind chimes hanging on the corner of the small building jingled.

Queen Huangquan didn't have time to solve the confusion in her heart first, she looked down at the ghost soldiers below who rushed to clean up the corpses, and shouted angrily: "Go and transfer troops to stop Xiao Shizhu immediately, you can't let them escape from Huangquan, you must capture Xiao Shizhu alive." ”。

Those ghost soldiers were all in cahoots with Queen Huangquan, and they were all ghosts who wanted to use Xiao Shizhu to change the harsh climate of Huangquan, and they should have chased and killed Xiao Shizhu immediately, but Queen Huangquan's changing order made the ghost soldiers below unable to react for a while, and they were stunned in place.

"Don't go yet!" Seeing that they didn't move, Queen Huangquan said in a deep voice. The ghost soldiers downstairs reacted and sent a few people with good foot strength to give orders.

Then Queen Huangquan raised her eyes, turned her head and stared intently at the distance outside the valley, the yellow sand and the dark sky outside the valley, still frowning and falling into contemplation.

The first thing she thought about was whether the four deadly pestles would destroy two of them, so that the lack of strength did not change anything. He hurriedly ordered the ghost soldiers to chase Xiao Shizhu and them, and wanted to capture Xiao Shizhu alive.

At the same time, she also thought that letting Xiao Shizhu go was to let the tiger return to the mountain. Once Xiao Shizhu returned to the Netherworld, Huangquan could not close the connecting passage between the two realms, nor could he open it, so he could only wait for Xiao Shizhu to come to retaliate.

Thinking about this, Queen Huangquan felt that she couldn't let Xiao Shizhu escape no matter what.

To do things is to do absolutely, do it cleanly, and leave no trouble. This was the decision of Queen Huangquan at this time.

But when she thought about it, she didn't expect that it would be Lin Yun who was lying to her.

Madness made Queen Huangquan paranoid, and the desperate desire to change the harsh environment of Huangquan also made her resolutely believe Lin Wan's nonsense.

Who would have thought that all this was a chess game set up by Emperor Xudu, and she Queen Huangquan was just a chess piece for the chess player.

And the Emperor Xudu is really clever in this move, firmly grasping the Queen of Huangquan and the ghosts of Huangquan, who have been plagued by the bad weather of Huangquan for thousands of years, once he sees the way and hope, he will urgently change the bad climate of Huangquan in his heart, just so that the Emperor Xudu can use it and set up this situation. And after the start of this game, it must kill three birds with one stone. If Queen Huangquan kills Xiao Shizhu, everything will be gone, and he will have a headache to worry about in the future.

If Queen Huangquan can't kill Xiao Shizhu, she can also break the alliance between Xiao Shizhu and Huangquan, making it difficult to turn against each other and make it difficult to form an alliance again.

And once it starts, it is impossible to stop, and it is impossible for Queen Huangquan to turn back.

And now the Queen of Huangquan has really fallen into the scheme, she still doesn't know the truth, she has been kept in the dark, and she willingly acts as a pawn of the Emperor Xudu, and she behaves perfectly. If it weren't for Xiao Shizhu's subordinates who acted quickly, their ghosts would have escaped quickly, and the life-killing pestle could indeed suck Xiao Shizhu's ghost life dry, so that he would indeed die in Huangquan, but it was impossible to use this to change the harsh environment of Huangquan.

And Xiao Shizhu also capsized in the gutter, and when he noticed the slightest mistake, he wondered if it would be because Queen Huangquan was held hostage by the enemy, threatened by the enemy, and forced to be unfavorable to him. But I never expected this disadvantage to come so quickly, and obviously the former allies were suddenly betrayed by Queen Huangquan. Caught off guard, he was overshadowed by what should have been an unbreakable ally.

And standing on the top of the building, after pondering for a long time, Queen Huangquan concentrated her eyes again, and after forming that strange handprint, she whispered a mantra in a soft voice.

She wanted to try again and see if it worked.

But after a long time, when she opened her eyes again and looked around, she saw a disappointment in her eyes......

The black snow spread on Shuoyue Island, and the biting cold air continued to disperse, and the fierce cold wind roared non-stop.

The ghost soldiers of the Xudu who came to Chengcheng, together with the ghost soldiers and ghost people of the Nine Shadows Kingdom who came to support, rebuilt the roads and towns on the scorched earth everywhere.

Of the Xudu army that attacked here, only 350,000 chose to return to the Northern Yin Dynasty. Ying Zhao also gave them ships and supplies according to the instructions of the Yuque Palace, and after letting them take off their battle armor and put down their weapons, they escorted them out of the sea area of the Nine Shadows Country with their warships, and then let them go north and leave.

The rest stayed, some chose to continue their military service and were incorporated into the garrisons of various parts of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and some chose to be ghost soldiers from now on, living a stable and peaceful life, and Ying Zhao was also deployed one by one according to the order to meet their needs.

Of course, whether you choose to join the army or be a ghost soldier of the ghost people, you have to serve on Shuoyue Island first. After Shuoyue Island is basically rebuilt, Ying Zhao will let them go their separate ways.

"The city can afford to lose, and this is really true. Ji Kang, who was standing on a fort on the mountainside in the north of Xiaoyu Mountain City, overlooking the people who came and went down the mountain, and those ghost soldiers who were rebuilding Shuoyue Island in full swing, sighed to the heroes around him: "At this speed, it will not take more than a year for Shuoyue Island to be rebuilt." ”。

"It won't take a year. Ying Zhao, who stood on the cliff beside Ji Kang, smiled: "All the ghost people who retreated before the beginning of spring will be transferred over, and then the ghost people on the island will gather, and the reclamation and road repair and reconstruction will be carried out at the same time." As long as the supplies can keep up, at most by the time autumn comes, Shuoyue Island will basically be back to normal. ”。

The yin wind came towards him, blowing the mane on Ying Zhao's neck, making it fly and sway.

"Yes. Silently calculated Ji Kang and nodded.

After a pause, he casually asked: "How much of this group of ghost soldiers who surrendered to Cheng plan to stay for his own use?"

In the first battle of Shuoyue Island, the Tiangang army stationed on the island led by Ying Zhao was basically defeated, and almost all of the generals of the Tiangang army such as Ying Zhao Yuxuan became the commander of the light pole.

It was precisely when there was an urgent need to replenish the supply of troops, and there happened to be these surrendered capital troops.

"Not a single one remains. Ying Zhao didn't think about it, and suddenly he said with a solemn face: "This is the forefront of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and my army can't have unfamiliar Toucheng ghosts." Even if they have no second thoughts, it's better not to stay for the time being. First put them in various places in the rear, and send a large army of ghost soldiers from all over the rear to assemble and rebuild the Tiangang army. ”。

"But you'll have to stay. Without waiting for Ji Kang to speak, when Ying Zhao laughed again, he turned his head to look at Ji Kang, who was standing side by side with him: "I have already played your performance in this battle to the Yuque Palace, and the palace has also decided to leave you on the island to assist me in rebuilding the Tiangang Army and Shuoyue Island." ”。

As soon as he said that, Yu Xuan had come from afar to control the beast, rushed to Ying Zhao's side, turned over and got off his mount, and stood on the side of Ying Zhao in a stride, muttering something in the other party's ear.

I saw that Ying Zhao's laughter faded when he heard it, and his solemn color flashed again. Then he nodded again and again, and it was not until Yu Xuan finished muttering that he said to Ji Kang: "Lord Ji, I will trouble you to keep an eye on the reconstruction work first." I'll go back to the government office to deal with some things first. ”。

Ji Kang nodded in response, and Na Yingzhao had already turned around, spread his four hooves, and rushed towards the top of the mountain in a hurry. Before he could run a few feet, the wings on his back had been fully spread, and he took off from the ground under the shaking of the wind, and his feet flew towards the top of the mountain.

In the blink of an eye, Ying Zhao had already flown to the top of the mountain.

The chill in the air is thicker, and the more biting it is. Ying Zhao circled, fell steadily according to the yin wind, and stood in front of the main hall of the military yamen, and he hurriedly stepped up the stone steps and went straight to the main hall.

When I entered the gloomy and dim main hall, I saw two rows of headless ghosts standing in front of the pillars standing on both sides. The headless ghosts had no head on their necks, only a smooth wound of flesh and blood, their eyes on their breasts, and their mouths on their navels.

In the middle of the two teams of heavily armed headless ghost soldiers, in front of the handsome desk in the depths of the hall, there was a headless ghost standing upright. But the headless ghost with his navel as his mouth was covered with a thick circle of black hair.

If you want to say it's a beard, it's okay to say it's chest hair.

This ghost carried a bronze axe with a handle five feet long behind him, and a shield with a thundercloud pattern on its face, which was Xingtian, who had been training troops on Black Dragon Island.

In the early years, Ying Zhao had a relationship with him in Yuque City, and at that moment he recognized the ghost in front of him at a glance, and strode up to greet him: "Brother Xingtian, you really brought the troops here." ”。

Ying Zhao, who was full of joy, stood in front of Xingtian with a smile on his face, looked around and looked back at the straight row of headless ghost soldiers standing in the courtyard outside the hall, turned his head back and asked, "Why did you suddenly bring so many ghost soldiers here?"

At the same time, he stretched out his hands and shook hands with Xingtian.

"While you are fighting bloodily, Black Dragon Island is also under attack. However, it was only a few hundred thousand enemy troops, and in less than a month they were repulsed by our army, and the damage was not great. Now there is a man on the island who takes care of it, and it is not a big deal. Xingtian reached out to his waist and touched it, took out a rolled-up silk book and handed it to Ying Zhao: "** Secret order, please take a look at Ying Zhao." ”。

With a wave of his hand, the ghost soldiers in the hall were ordered, and none of them retreated. In an instant, there were only two ghosts left in the hall, Ying Zhao and Xingtian.

After Ying welcomed them away, she unfolded the silk book in her hand and looked at the juanxiu Xiaokai on the book carefully.

The silk book is sprinkled with 100 words, although Yingzhao carefully reads it, he also talks about the content of the silk book in a moment, and he can see it clearly.

It turned out that the ghost mother was not afraid of 10,000, she was afraid of what happened in the Yellow Spring, and she was worried about what happened to Xiao Shizhu in the Yellow Spring, so she took advantage of the time to repel the army of the Northern Yin Dynasty and Xudu, so she transferred Xingtian and hundreds of elite headless ghost soldiers.

Based on Xingtian's loyalty, as well as his courage and courage to fight all the way from Fenglin Continent to the Nine Shadows Kingdom, Xingtian is indeed the best choice to accept Xiao Shizhu.

Of course, there are other options, but not long after the end of the Great War of the Nine Shadows, the Eastern Crusade is continuing in the east, and there are not many ghost generals who can be called. Among the callable ghost generals, the one who can be selected is Xingtian.

And the consideration of the ghost mother to send out a response at this time is also based on the fact that the Netherworld knows nothing about the Yellow Spring World. What will happen in it, no one knows and does not know. I can't see or hear.

There is a ghost who can lead his troops into Huangquan to pick up Xiao Shizhu, there are advantages and disadvantages.

And Xing Tian also learned that Xiao Shizhu had taken a dangerous move and personally entered Huangquan to ask for help when he received the secret order of the silk book.

Before that, Xingtian and the others had always thought that Xiao Shizhu was either in the Yuque Palace or supervising the battle on Shuoyue Island.

Ying Zhao rolled up the silk book and handed it back to Xingtian: "The twenty flags of the Nine Hidden Countries mentioned in the secret order, I will prepare them for you immediately." When are you leaving?".

"**Let the fungus people pass the order that six hours before the scheduled time for the lord to open the passage, we must open the passage in advance and enter the Yellow Spring from this side. After putting away the secret order silk book, he pinched his fingers and counted the days, and said: "We will set off late at night in five days, and before that, in order to ensure that this operation will not be leaked, it will trouble you in the next few days, please try to arrange us in an unnoticeable place." ”。
