[661] Morale reinvigorated
The door of the main hall of Tianyang Palace opened again.
The ghosts who had been in the meeting inside before strode out of the palace in a hurry, rushed down the stone steps in three or two steps, and left in a hurry. They will all be very busy in the future, and the matter on the other side of Weishan City cannot be delayed, and they must immediately devote themselves to their respective work.
Even the ghost mother, accompanied by Chen Ruo, went to the Juexiang Garden after leaving the Tianyang Palace.
In Tianyang Palace, only Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen were left behind after the meeting.
"What Lu Wu said before, I hope Jiang Ziwen don't worry about him, he really doesn't have a heart. Xiao Shizhu stood behind the door with his hands in his hands, staring out of the gate, until he saw the other ghost officials leave, and then said to Jiang Ziwen behind him in a hurry: "Next, I want to teach you secretly, and you need to work together to complete it, so I hope you don't have any barriers." ”。
"Rest assured, the minister and Lord Lu Wu have no deep hatred, and they will not ignore the interests of the Nine Shadows Kingdom and fight openly and secretly for this trivial matter. Having said this, Jiang Ziwen turned his head to look at Lu Wu beside him and smiled indifferently.
Lu Wu nodded, and also agreed: "Although the lord commands, no matter what it is, I will definitely cooperate with Lord Jiang Ziwen." ”。
When the two ghosts looked at each other, they looked at each other and smiled, and they had already released their previous suspicions and no longer cared about anything.
"That's good. Xiao Shizhu said this, but the solemn color on his face did not decrease but increased.
What he was going to say next was also related to the success or failure of the war on the side of Weishan City, which was really sloppy.
"Next, Lu Wu wants to fake a document, which was sent by Dongyi Zhou Hei Impermanence, the content is that the Firmament Army attacking Weishan City has surrendered, and it will be handed over to Guan Yuecha and the Ghost Fire Pill in the near future. However, in order to defraud the materials of the Emperor Xudu, Hei Wuchang asked these surrendered firmament troops to claim that they had not surrendered to Chengcheng and were still marching eastward, so as to continue to defraud the materials of the Northern Yin Dynasty. Xiao Shizhu turned around and said to Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen in a soft voice that only the three ghosts could hear clearly: "And Jiang Ziwen wants to print this text, and use the contact information between you and Emperor Xudu to pass the rubbing of this text to Xudu." ”。
"The day after it was sent, Lu Wu wanted to search for the ghost who had touched this text, and claimed that the text had been missing for a few hours, so as to build momentum for Jiang Ziwen, so that his behavior and the authenticity of the text would not be suspected by Emperor Xudu. After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said again: "Of course, for the suspicious Emperor Xudu, you don't have to explain what kind of writing it is when you build momentum, but you must emphasize that it is an important text and must not be passed on." ”。
Xiao Shizhu knew very well that there were still a few spies of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the city, and he deliberately left them unarrested, but only secretly monitored, so that these spies would deceive the Emperor Xudu. And Emperor Xudu's suspiciousness is even more serious than before. In such a situation, the more you explain what you have lost, the less he will believe it.
Only if it is not explained, the clouds and mountains are foggy, then the Emperor Xudu will believe it, and what he lost is the fake text given to him by Jiang Ziwentuo, and he will naturally believe the content of that text.
Xiao Shizhu must also exert all his strength to ensure the victory of this war. It's not just about sending troops and sending troops to help Weishan City. He also secretly made a mistake, so that the Emperor Xudu thought that all the ghosts who attacked Weishan City had begun to deviate from the Northern Yin Dynasty, so as to cut off the support of the Firmament Army attacking Weishan City.
After all, Dongyi Continent was extremely important to him and his Nine Shadows Kingdom.
Without Dongyizhou, the Nine Shadows Kingdom would not be able to go north, and naturally it would not be able to complete the strategic detour to the Beiyin regime of Liutianzhou proposed by Wuqiu Shou before his death. In the long run, the national strength of the Nine Shadows Kingdom will gradually decline, and it will not be able to compete with the Xudu.
Emperor Xudu must have realized this, so he dispatched a large number of firmament troops, and also carried a large number of ghost fire pill soldiers to Dongyizhou. Of course, it is to turn Dongyi Continent into a scorched earth, so that the Nine Shadows Kingdom will not be able to profit from it.
But Xiao Shizhu is not a soft persimmon, and he will never let Emperor Xudu get his hands on it.
Since Emperor Xudu has made a move, then he will accept it, and the next thing is how to lose it. In short, both sides will rely on their own abilities and do everything possible to deal with each other.
In the smoky Tianyang Palace, after Xiao Shizhu's voice landed, it fell into silence. Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen didn't rush to answer, but thought about it in silence.
As high-level ghost officials in the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they can't blindly obey the orders of the Nine Shadows King. It is also their responsibility and obligation to find loopholes in the order, remind Xiao Shizhu in time, and avoid unnecessary losses to the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
In the incense burner on the main hall, a lot of incense ash has accumulated on the incense stick. Finally, after a long silence, there was a soft snapping sound, and it broke apart. The incense head, which had been dimmed, brightened again.
Xiao Shizhu didn't urge them, and when they thought about it carefully, he turned around again and faced the outside of the main hall, gradually staring at the yin wind outside the hall, and tirelessly brushing the strange flowers and plants over and over again.
"Yes, I'll do it. After a while, Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen saluted Xiao Shizhu and said in unison.
"No, we will do this in seven days, and try to let the Emperor Xudu send some supplies to Dongyizhou, and we will cut off the Hu halfway. Unexpectedly, Xiao Shizhu heard this, but slowly shook his head and said: "And if it's too urgent, it will be easy to have too many loopholes." And the combat effectiveness and loyalty of the Firmament Army are impossible to be defeated as soon as they arrive in Dongyizhou. ”。
"Yes. Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen, after thinking about it carefully, felt that what Xiao Shizhu said was also right, so they responded again.
"Let's learn a good lesson together, the Northern Yin Dynasty has been incomparable for tens of thousands of years in the Netherworld. Xiao Shizhu continued to look straight ahead, and said in a sonorous voice: "Let them also know what it means to have a sky outside the sky." ”。
A few simple words immediately lifted Lu Wu and Jiang Ziwen's spirits. Immediately, there was a response, and Xiao Shizhu bowed respectfully.
And when Jiang Ziwen finished saluting and straightened up, he took the opportunity to glance at the human soul in front of him with his back to him. admired this human soul who he almost killed when he was greedy for money for a while.
In terms of strategy and insidiousness, Xiao Shizhu is no worse than Emperor Xudu. But this young human soul has an indescribable power that will always make him willing to follow him and create a different era from the rule of the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Or maybe it's been dark in the Netherworld for too long, and most ghosts want to find the light. And Xiao Shizhu is obviously the light that breaks through the boundless darkness.
Jiang Ziwen suddenly felt a little guilty and remorseful for his behavior back then. At the same time, I also felt lucky, glad that I didn't kill Xiao Shizhu, and it was a big mistake......
In the scorched earth of Weishan City, the ruins that can be seen everywhere are so shocking. In addition to the cruelty of war, there is also the hysteria of dead ghosts in the last moments of life.
The female ghost took a few steps forward, walked to the edge of the scorched ruins, and looked around.
A crystal clear teardrop quietly overflowed from the corner of her peach-like eyes. The female ghost stood in the wind, and her tears shook and then slipped down. As the so-called pear blossom brings rain in spring, it makes her appearance even more pitiful.
She raised her eyes to look down the hill in front of her, which was once her home, scorched black from the flames, and black mud mixed with ashes and water.
The house is not big, but it is a cosy presence.
Now, a fire has turned all this into nothingness in an instant. also took away, and after the arrival of the Nine Shadow Army, it brought them the stability and peace of these ghost people.
The female ghost stood on the hillside like this, silently weeping in the wind, and every tear was full of sorrow.
After a while, a young male ghost with thick eyebrows and big eyes also strode out from the entrance of the tunnel. The male ghost, who was nearly seven feet tall and wore chain mail, stood outside the entrance and looked around for a while, and his eyes fell on the female ghost not far away.
Immediately, the male ghost stepped forward, and in a few arrow steps, he rushed to the female ghost's side, and said in a rough voice: "Xiao Gui, let's go back." It's still a battlefield, and maybe the enemy will come back at some point, it's too dangerous. ”。
Seeing the female ghost's face full of tears while speaking, I couldn't help but feel a little worried. Looking around at the nonsense, the scorched broken bricks and ruins made this male ghost resentment suddenly arise from the bottom of his heart when he saw it.
When the female ghost heard this, she raised her hand to wipe away the tears that welled up in her reddish eyes again, turned her head to look at the male ghost, and said in a trembling voice: "Qingyu camp general, we have nothing, and our home is gone." ”。
As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.
Her words drifted away in the wind and soon spread all around. The ghost soldiers who were still rummaging through the ruins for the survivors stopped in unison. They all hung their heads, the despair on their faces became a little heavier, and at the same time, the sense of powerlessness that emerged in their bodies made them not know how to continue fighting.
The Ghost Fire Pill instantly brought the power of a sea of fire, which became a lingering shadow in their hearts. Looming over their fighting spirit, it darkens them.
A heavy white cloud in the sky obscured the cloudy sun that was setting in the east, casting a large shadow over the city.
"It's gone. Qinglan's younger brother Qingyu also lowered his head slightly, looking at the charred black land at his feet, his eyes showing a little loss.
The wind howled, blowing through a mess of the mountain city. With the despair of the ghosts in the city, they drifted to all directions.
"But. The heavy white clouds drifted away with the wind, the cloudy day reappeared, and the blood-like sunset fell on the Qingyu who had already raised his head.
The loss in Qing Yue's eyes was gone, and Qing Yue, who was firmly covered with a face, looked at the female ghost named Xiao Gui, clenched his right fist, and said sonorously: "But we can still rebuild and rebuild a better home than before." The mere ghost fire pill of the Northern Yin Dynasty cannot destroy our faith and hope. ”。
I don't know if this young calf is not afraid of tigers, and can be so confident when he speaks. Even that Xiao Gui listened to it, and after being stunned for a while, he cheered up.
She put away her despair, nodded heavily to Qingyu, and muttered, "Yes, we can rebuild our home." ”。
After Xiao Gui finished speaking, he looked around again, but when he saw the ghost soldiers around him, they all showed despair on their faces, and after their faces were full of decadence, they sighed lightly.
"Let's go, Xiao Gui, let's go back to the tunnel. Qing Yu said that he was about to reach out, pull up Xiao Gui and walk back.
Xiao Gui subconsciously dodged his hand, which inevitably made Qing Yu a little embarrassed. Then he looked around at the desperate soldiers around him, and said to Qing Lan: "No, I still have things to do, I want to revive the morale of the ghost soldiers in the city." ”。
Qing Yu was stunned, staring blankly at Xiao Gui, who had already stepped forward and climbed to the top of a ruin in three or two steps, puzzled, and couldn't understand, how could such a weak little female ghost regain her morale?
