Chapter 219: Trapped puppets in the city
After solving the White Lotus Sect, the empress returned to Luosong City with all the demons, and naturally there was a group of light feather cranes who took refuge.
Just like Gong Shengjie said, the Light Feather Cranes were indeed just unconscious and unharmed.
After being treated, they quickly woke up, and after waking up, they naturally thanked Her Majesty the Empress, and after showing their loyalty, they successfully joined the Imperial Dynasty's camp.
It's normal that the Light Feather Cranes didn't get harmed, after all, the White Lotus Sect's purpose at the beginning was indeed to reach a cooperation with the Empress, and if the Light Feather Crane was injured, then there would be no need to negotiate.
Making the Empress a Guardian Beast is just an option after the negotiations break down.
After returning to the city of Luozon, the empress gave instructions on all the arrangements to be made, and then began to retreat.
In Sanssouci Valley, she devoured too much earth spirit qi, at this time she had to retreat and refine, and when she got out, presumably His Majesty's cultivation would go to a higher level!
On the other side, a few days later, in the camp of the imperial army outside Qingbo City.
"Report !!"
A soldier ran into a tent with a bird in his arms.
"When was so panicked!" Strategist Lou Yu asked.
In the tent, a beautiful girl was lazily leaning on a clam shell with her eyes closed.
On the left side of her head lies a giant dog with auspicious clouds around her, which is the general who pierces the clouds and roars through the sky; On the right sat an old Taoist who was leisurely drinking tea, it was the Overseer Qingwei Daoist, and the young man serving beside Qingwei Daoist was his apprentice Changyang Xiaoshi.
Further down are Lou Yu and other Terran warriors.
"General Hui, military advisor, Your Majesty has a letter!" The little soldier immediately knelt down and held up the bird in his hand and said.
The bird was a bird of lies.
Hearing Xiao Bing's words, Huang Quan immediately sat up straight, and said with a face full of surprise, "Hurry up!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Bing hurriedly came to the Huangquan table with the Talking Bird and put the Talking Bird on the table.
"What about faith?" Huang Quan asked.
"General, wait a minute!"
After replying, the Whispering Bird made a constipated expression, and then spat out a small silver ring from its mouth.
This silver ring is a storage item, one of the storage items that Changyue obtained from the chance space of Futian Sect.
Changyue got a lot of storage props from there, but because of the special origin, it was not convenient to use outside, so he simply teleported all of them to the empress to deliver supplies, military supplies, intelligence, and so on to the imperial dynasty.
Seeing that the Talking Bird was actually a ring spit out of her mouth, Huang Quan's face was full of disgust, she twisted the ring, a wave of water gushed out of her hand, and the ring boy was carefully washed, and said to the Talking Bird:
"Alright, you go back!"
"Yes, General!"
The bird answered, flapped its wings and flew out of the tent, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Huang Quan took out a letter from the ring, and after looking at it a few times, he took out another purple herb.
After staring at the herb for a while, she threw the herb to Xiao Tian, "Xiao Tian, this is given to you by His Majesty, eat it, I can help you turn into a human form!" ”
Changyue sent a total of five Transformation Grass to the White Seal Empress, and Qing Hui and Bi Yuan, as the empress's earliest followers, naturally got one each.
The empress also asked Xiaobai if she wanted to eat one, but Xiaobai was dismissive of it, it didn't need it for anything like a human body.
The empress didn't force it, so she gave the remaining three to the Evil Eye Tiger General, the Giant Demon Bull Qingtian, and the Cloud Piercing Dog Xiaotian.
General Tiger and Qingtian have other important matters, so they are not on the battlefield at this time.
Xiao Tian took the shapeshifting grass and swallowed it without hesitation.
"Don't worry, with us on your side to protect the Dharma, you can transform with peace of mind and don't have to worry about anything else." The voice of Yellow Spring rang in its ears.
As the sound of these words disappeared, Xiao Tian fell into endless pain, and the bones all over its body seemed to be broken and reassembled, and this pain was not gone all at once, but in waves.
Looking at Xiao Tian, who was trembling all over her body and whimpering non-stop in her mouth, Huang Quan shook her eyebrows, fortunately, she was born with a body similar to that of a human being, and she didn't need to take Transformation Grass.
Just now she was a little jealous that His Majesty gave Xiaotian a gift but didn't give her, but now she is not jealous at all.
As time passed, Xiaotian's body was enveloped in a layer of white light, and there had never been a moment when it felt so difficult as it did now.
Finally, the white light faded, revealing the aftermath of the transformation, and a white flower's body staggered to its feet.
Lou Yu took off his robe and draped it on Xiaotian for the first time.
After the transformation, Xiaotian is about 1.8 meters, with short snow-white hair, a beautiful face, and a figure that is neither fat nor thin, but anyone who sees him can sense that there is a terrifying power in his body.
"Huang ...... Yellow...... Izumi ......"
Xiaotian opened his mouth and tried to speak, but found that he couldn't speak neatly, so he simply sat back on the ground.
Huang Quan stared at the somewhat unfamiliar Xiaotian for a while, then turned his head to Daoist Qingwei and Lou Yu and said, "Let's continue to talk about Qingbo City!" ”
The imperial army had been besieging Qingbo City for more than a month, and because they could not attack Qingbo City, they blockaded Qingbo City.
According to the method of the military advisor Lou Yu, the emperor would send a large number of demon army to roar and howl outside the city wall every day to deter the people in the city.
As Lou Yu had speculated, the roar of the beast made the people panic every day.
As time went on, food and other supplies became scarce in the city, and many people were reduced to eating only one meal a day, and the rest of the time they relied on drinking water to satisfy their hunger.
The people in the city are starving, and the demon clan outside the city is eyeing them, who can stand this? Therefore, there are people in Qingbo City who make trouble every day, especially some rich families, and they are not without money, why should they starve and suffer?
Not only that, Lou Yu also sent the Terran soldiers in the army to the city gate tower every day to shout loudly, describing in detail how comfortable they lived after following the emperor, how much delicious food they ate every day, and how the emperor treated them favorably.
This can make the people in the city greedy, whether they are the Mo family managing Qingbo City or the Imperial Dynasty managing Qingbo City, whoever can let them live a good life, they are willing to follow whom!
Now that the Mo family is in charge of Qingbo City, they have to starve, so the people began to move, and some people even wanted to secretly destroy the Mo family's organs in order to lure the demon army into the city.
Although those people were all caught by the Mo family, this kind of thing was prevented once, twice, and three times...... Can you prevent it every time? The Mo family had a headache.
In the face of the increasingly fierce people, the Mo family was at a loss, and even many people within the Mo family were clamoring to surrender.
No, today, the soldiers of the Imperial Dynasty began to chat in the city gate tower again.
"Hey~ Did you ask about the fragrance today?"
"I smell it, I smell it, I heard the brother in the room say that we have meat to eat today, or the meat of foreign beasts, and ordinary people can't eat it."
"Yes, yes, this is the food that His Majesty has prepared for us with compassion for our soldiers on the front line!"
In fact, these alien beast meat was transported from the medicine immortal blessed land to be used as food for the demon army, but the leftover food of the demon clan was enough for the Terran soldiers in the army to eat all of a sudden, after all, the number of Terran soldiers in the imperial army was relatively small.
"I heard that the food we eat is not ordinary, it is made from flour ground from a special wheat grain called amethyst wheat, which is said to be good for cultivation!"
This is indeed the food that the empress specially allocated to the Terran soldiers in the army.
Amethyst wheat is a special kind of wheat in the blessed land of medicine immortals, which was not large at first, but later gradually formed a scale after being cultivated by the three-color deer family.
Long-term consumption of flour milled from this wheat can indeed increase the cultivation speed of low-level martial artists.
"No wonder, no wonder I feel like I'm bleeding all over my body every time I finish eating! Here's why! One soldier said in a very exaggerated voice.
……
The soldiers said one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right, which could spoil the Mo family members on the city wall.
Drooling is not limited to the Mo family.
Every day, when the beggars in Qingbo City were hungry, they would run to the edge of the city wall and put their ears to the wall to listen to the imperial soldiers, and as they listened, they imagined how delicious the food was.
When they were done, they shouted all over the streets and alleys of the city.
"Today's army outside is eating meat again, and today's army outside is eating meat again!"
"It's still too delicious to taste the meat of the beast."
"Amethyst wheat, amethyst noodles, steamed into steamed buns and gluttonous crying ghosts! I'm so hungry, I want to eat it! ”
……
With the shouting of the beggars, every household in the city began to drool, and they had been without food for several days, let alone meat, and they had no vegetables to eat.
Some children couldn't resist the temptation, and directly howled and cried, and the whole Qingbo City was in chaos for a while.
In the City Lord's Mansion, it was also time for lunch, and the family of five sat in the dining room, waiting for the servants to bring lunch.
The head of the Mo family and his wife gave birth to a daughter and two sons, the daughter has grown up, he is raised as a successor, but the two sons are still immature, one is six years old, and the other is only four years old.
Soon the servant brought a large basin, and saw that the basin was full of gruel, but even so, the servant could not help but swallow.
The masters had eaten gruel, and they wanted to know what kind of life their servants were doing.
Mrs. Mo was a very gentle woman, she stared at the gruel in the basin for a while, sighed deeply, and then got up and began to serve porridge to her husband and children.
Mo Shuhui often helps his father deal with the affairs of the city, and knows what the situation in the city is now, so there is nothing to complain about, and some people can't even drink porridge!
She picked up the bowl and took a small sip, even if she drank porridge, she maintained everyone's beautiful demeanor.
But the two smaller ones quit.
"Mother, don't eat porridge, don't eat porridge!" The youngest son, Mo Shuyu, threw the soup spoon in his hand and immediately sprinkled it, he had suffered this kind of suffering since he was a child.
"Yu'er, don't mess around!" The voice of the eldest son, Mo Shuchu, sounded.
Hearing his brother's voice, Mo Shuyu's crying stopped abruptly, he shrank his head, tears hung in the corners of his eyes, but he dared not speak angrily.
Although his brother is only two years older than him, he is very fierce on weekdays, and he cares about this and that, Mo Shuyu's family is most afraid of his brother.
He held the bowl with tears in his eyes and drank the porridge, feeling aggrieved.
Every time he drank the porridge, he would grow hungry after a while.
Although Mo Shuchu scolded his younger brother just now, he was halfway drunk, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"Father, eldest sister, why do we insist on not surrendering, what is the point of this insistence, does it make people trapped in the city?"
Don't look at his young age, but he basically knows that he doesn't look like a six-year-old child at all.
As the ruler of Qingbo City, the Mo family actually had enough food reserves for them to hold out for a long time, but the people in the city became more and more violent, so that they had to take out some of the grain and distribute it to them.
If it weren't for that, the people would have been in a commotion.
They can't kill all the people, can they? If the people are gone, what is the use of them guarding the empty city?
The people want to live, and the head of the Mo family can actually understand.
The head of the Mo family sighed deeply, and he touched the back of his son's head, "Yes, I don't know the meaning of perseverance as a father......"
Now the family's insistence and the call for surrender are half of the voices, but those who say they will insist are the elders of the clan, and it is difficult for the head of the Mo family to do it.
After lunch, the Mo family held a family meeting again, and I don't know how many family meetings this month were, and the clan elders were still arguing about whether to keep or surrender.
You can't beat them.
The Mo family is good at mechanical techniques, and all of their combat power is also in the mechanism, and they actually have no combat power.
But the inheritance of the core of the Mo family has long been lost in tens of thousands of years of ups and downs.
Unless they sacrifice the hole cards of the Mo family.
The ancestor of the Mo family left a big killing weapon for the family before he ascended to the immortal realm, which was a terrorist puppet.
The cultivation of this puppet will change according to the reincarnation of heaven and earth, when the heaven and earth enter the trough, its cultivation will fall to the innate realm, and when the general trend of the heaven and earth enters the climax, its cultivation will soar to the immortal realm.
It is precisely by relying on this puppet that the Mo family can be passed down to this day.
But tens of thousands of years ago, the puppet suddenly malfunctioned and began to be uncontrollable, it was indistinguishable from friend and foe, and when I saw who killed whom, the Mo family's blood flowed like a river for a while.
The Mo family finally took a great deal of money to close the puppet, and for tens of thousands of years after that, the puppet has been sleeping, but its cultivation will still fluctuate with the general trend of heaven and earth.
Just a few days ago, the ancestor of the Mo family's guardian puppet found that the puppet's cultivation had initially recovered to the Lingtai realm.
It's really a joy and a worn.
In other words, as long as the puppet is turned on, let alone the Demon Emperor Dynasty, even if other forces in the thirteen states attack the door, their Mo family can also be destroyed.
But this also means that the Mo family will die with the enemy.
The malfunctioning puppet can be killed regardless of whether you are a member of the Mo family or not.
The lessons of tens of thousands of years ago are still bloodily left in the oral tradition of the Mo family.
If it weren't for the problem with the puppets, the Mo family would have suffered too many casualties back then, and they would not have been reduced to living in a Qingbo City now.
"I said, the Ten Thousand Demon Emperor Dynasty is not trying to exterminate my Mo family, they just want to co-opt us, why should we fight with others!"
At the meeting, a relatively young patriarch of the Mo family couldn't help but say.
