[652] Joy and sorrow
On Luoyu Mountain, where winter turns to spring, the ice melts and everything recovers. As far as the eye can see, the mountains are full of green pines and cypresses, and the green willows and red flowers surround the strange stones. Thousands of strange flowers, thousands of colors, thousands of weeds, all kinds of strange. Mountain birds and cypresses dance, cranes spread their wings in the clouds, and rare and exotic beasts roam slowly among the mountains full of grass and vines. And in the Six Heavens Ghost Palace on the top of the mountain, the strange flowers and herbs planted are also fragrant, and the red apricots and peaches are more gorgeous in the mountain breeze, and the palace is full of vitality.
Even the red sunset in the evening can't cover the emerald green of this mountain.
Emperor Xudu sat cross-legged on the Heavenly Hall in Beiyin, looking at the food on the table in front of him, and did not move his chopsticks for a long time.
He is an ancient god, and he can live well even if he doesn't eat or drink for a long time. The reason why he has to eat on time and in the right amount every day is just to get over his addiction. It's just that for some reason today, in the face of the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the dragon tendon and the unicorn gall, and the braised spicy meat on the table in front of him, the Emperor Xudu has no appetite at all.
It seems that he is too tired in the past few days, and he doesn't know what is going on in the past few days, he thought that he had just come to the Yin Cao Underworld for the human soul alchemy, and he was stabbed out, making almost everyone in the entire Six Heavens Continent know about it. Emperor Xudu had to hurriedly find a way to deny these facts, and he was very busy for a while.
Or maybe it was because Emperor Xudu had recently eaten too much of the elixir refined from the human soul, and his divine power had increased a lot, which made him feel that the grains and grains were tasteless.
Whatever the reason, in short, Emperor Xudu didn't really want to eat.
The rice bowl that was lifted was put down again, and the chopsticks in his hand were also put down.
"Your Majesty, the Wheel King asks to see you. Just as Emperor Xudu had just put down his rice bowl, a ghost slave stood in front of him cautiously and whispered.
"Xuan. Emperor Xudu said in a deep voice, waving his hand to signal the ghost slaves to remove his food first.
The sun was setting in the east, and the heavens and the earth were darkened. When five or six ghost slaves came in and removed Emperor Xudu's food, they also lit all kinds of everlasting lamps in the palace one by one.
The heavenly hall in the middle of the northern yin, which was dim for a while, instantly brightened, as bright as day. The splendor and luxury of it are illuminated one after another.
The ghost slaves were busy with everything, and when they slowly retreated, the Wheel King walked in quickly with a jade wat in his hand, and stood in front of the Emperor Xudu.
From the corner of the depths of the main hall, behind a golden pillar with a raspberry-like jade pillar base, he walked out slowly, walked to the side of the Emperor Xudu, yawned and lay down, and knelt in front of the Emperor Xudu after looking at the wheel king in front of him.
"Your Majesty, there is reliable news from Dongyizhou, Feitou Country and Fusang Country have recently surrendered to the Nine Shadows Kingdom. After kneeling on the cold floor, the kowtowed Wheel King pressed his forehead to the floor in front of him, and never dared to raise his head: "And the ghost kings of these two countries, the flying head king Luoyin and the Fusang king Dayi, also voluntarily gave up the title given by His Majesty, and were willing to be an ordinary ghost for the Nine Shadows King." Even the heavens were destroyed by the Nine Shadows Kingdom. ”。
After finishing speaking, the Wheel King held his breath, and he didn't dare to breathe.
This kind of betrayal has always been easy to provoke the Emperor of Xudu. So after finishing speaking, the Wheel King didn't dare to speak at all, nor did he dare to raise his head.
But unexpectedly, after a blink of an eye, Emperor Xudu not only did not get angry, but asked calmly: "Is it a text sent by King Lei Ze?"
The Wheel King was slightly stunned, and his heart was surprised, he didn't expect that the Emperor Xudu was completely lifeless, and even his tone was so peaceful, which really surprised the Wheel King.
It's just that the Wheel King still doesn't dare to raise his head, otherwise he really wants to see what kind of expression the Emperor Xudu has at this moment?
And Emperor Xudu was obviously not surprised by this, he had already received a secret report, of course, it was also sent by King Lei Ze. So on the face of the Emperor Xudu, there was nothing but calm.
"Get up and speak. When the Wheel King nodded and admitted that the text was sent by King Lei Ze, Emperor Xudu had already spoken again: "What is there to report about this kind of thing; if you want it to perish, you must first make it crazy, let Xiao Shizhu be crazy and crazy." ”。
In the long-term confrontation with Xiao Shizhu, the King of the Nine Shadows, the Emperor Xudu is also constantly accumulating experience. He thinks that Xiao Shizhu is a ghost who is not easy to overassert, although Xiao Shizhu often shows a very confident and arrogant appearance, but that is all an illusion.
Such a ghost is not easy to have too many flaws. Emperor Xudu couldn't leave Luo Yushan, so he could only use some means to force Xiao Shizhu to make a flaw on the battlefield.
And giving up Dongyizhou is also one of the plans that make Xiao Shizhu overconfident. Let Xiao Shizhu get Dongyizhou relatively easily, not only so that the Emperor Xudu can take the opportunity to concentrate on dealing with Fenglin Continent and Kunlun Continent, as well as the affairs of Dongyingzhou, but also make Xiao Shizhu feel invincible in the world.
A ghost who is overconfident will be full of loopholes.
However, Emperor Xudu still didn't know much about Xiao Shizhu, who was an arrogant ghost who would never be taken lightly. This small trick of Emperor Xudu does not seem to have much effect on the disappearance.
Of course, Emperor Xudu himself knew about this, and he also expected that the effect of the first plan would not be great, so he prepared the second plan, and the implementation of the first plan was also for the smooth implementation of the second plan.
After repeated deliberations before, Emperor Xudu expected that the remaining ghost kingdoms in Dongyi Continent would make a move of good birds and trees to perch on after Xiao Shizhu's army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom conquered the heavens, and they took refuge in the Nine Shadows Kingdom one after another.
Sure enough, although it was not as expected, all the ghost countries surrendered to the Nine Shadow Kingdom, but the Fusang Kingdom and the Feitou Kingdom still surrendered to the Nine Shadow Kingdom as expected by Emperor Xudu.
In this case, most of the army of the Nine Ghost Kingdoms will begin to settle in these two ghost countries to maintain and stabilize law and order, so that the two ghost countries can quickly settle down.
And the transfer of troops from Yunmengzhou and Xuanyan Continent in the Nine Shadows Country will not quench the thirst of the near water for a while. The ghost officials and ghost generals of the Nine Hidden Kingdom in Dongyi Continent, and Xiao Shizhu, who was far away in Yuque City, would only choose to transfer troops on the spot from Dongyi Continent first.
In this way, the Jiuyou State army stationed in various parts of Dongyi Continent will become short of soldiers, and the defense of various places will be relatively weakened.
He still doesn't want Dongyi Continent, but he also doesn't want the development of the Nine Shadows Kingdom with peace of mind. If you can try your best to defeat part of the army of the Nine Hidden Countries in Dongyi Continent, and then burn down many good land cities, so that the Nine Hidden Countries can wait for the scorched earth of Dongyi Continent, then the Nine Hidden Countries will spend a lot of money in the East Yi Continent to complete the reconstruction work, and they can also weaken the military strength of the Nine Hidden States, and naturally they will be able to drag down the development of the Nine Hidden Countries.
And let Xiao Shizhu seize Dongyizhou relatively smoothly first, that is, the army in the continent and Xiao Shizhu in Yuque City were overconfident because they were too smooth, so as to relax their vigilance, so that the second plan of Emperor Xudu could be even smoother than the last sudden large-scale raid on Dongyizhou.
"Don't worry about this matter, anyway, Xiao Shizhu will soon know, how to call happiness and sadness. Emperor Xudu waved his hand, indicating that he was a little confused, and the Wheel King, who was frowning slightly, could retreat.
In view of the fact that the intelligence agencies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom were too powerful, Emperor Xudu had already learned to keep some of the strategic actions against the Nine Shadows Kingdom secret, even the Ten Palaces of Yama, whom he once trusted.
When he first received a secret report from King Lei Ze, Emperor Xudu had secretly transferred troops and headed towards Dongyizhou......
On the sea of Huangquan, at the junction with the Qinglong Sea, the blue and yellow colors are distinct, forming a peculiar landscape that presents a clear and turbid, clear water and turbid water flow together but do not blend with each other.
Nearly 10,000 huge moon-piercing chachases flew in formation in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, casting a large shadow on the sea.
On each Guanyue Cha, there are the Hundred Ghost Army Flags of the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Xuanxi Dragon Banner of the Emperor of Xudu, and a large number of Xudu Army and Xuandi Army assemble bed crossbows and crossbows on Guanyuecha, set up artillery and carry guns.
In addition to the spearmen and artillery of the Xudu Army and the Xuandi Army, there were also hundreds of thousands of air cavalry of the Northern Yin Dynasty accompanying them, escorting the nearly 10,000 ships of the Guanyuecha, from west to east, towards the west of the Retreat Plain in Dongyizhou.
This huge aerial ghost soldier is a generous gift from the Emperor Xudu to Xiao Shizhu and the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
And Emperor Xudu weighed it again and again, and still felt that since the Nine Shadows Kingdom was the first to conquer the Six Heavens Kingdom, then there must be a lot of chaos on the Retreat Plain, which was once the Six Heavens Kingdom, so he ordered this army to first target the Retreat God Plain.
At the same time, in order to be able to kill some more of the Nine Shadows Army, the Yin Shuai sent by the Emperor Xudu for this battle is also the wasp and bird's beak among the ten Yin Shuai.
These two ghosts are both authentic demon spirits. When the Northern Yin Dynasty was not fighting, he looked the same as the feather people, but the beak with black feathers and wings on his back was the marshal who managed the undead of birds and animals in the sky, and the body shape was similar to that of Qin Yuan, but the reminder was bigger than Qin Yuan, and the wasp with a length of more than three feet was the marshal who managed the undead of insects and animals on the ground.
These two demon souls are extremely good at air combat. It is the best choice to let them lead a large number of Xudu air forces to attack.
The wasp fluttered its wings and made a buzzing sound from the ten thousand ships that pierced the moon, and the tail of the largest flagship flew to the head of the chariot.
The beak, which looked exactly like the feather people, was putting away the black feathered wings on its back, standing on the head of the chariot, looking forward, looking at the horizon where the cloudy sun was setting in the east.
"The sunset is so red, like blood. After seeing the wasp come and fly to his side, the beak still stared straight ahead, as if sighing, and said to the wasp leisurely.
"Yes, every day in the Northland, all year round, everywhere is frozen and snowy, it is difficult to see such a spectacular sunset. The wasp tilted his head and looked as far as the beak could see.
I saw that the remnant sun was like blood, and the red sunset rose from the sea level, like a raging flame, unscrupulously flooding on the vast sea. The bright and conspicuous red, as sure as blood, made both wasps and beaks excited.
As Yin Shuai who is loyal to the Emperor of Xudu, the two of them may often cover up for the Northern Yin Dynasty to fight in all directions, so every time they see blood or something like blood, they will be inexplicably excited and fanatical.
"Wasp. The beak excitedly called the other man's name and turned his head to look at the wasp.
"Beak. And the same goes for the wasps, turning their heads. The two ghosts looked at each other, and they both saw each other's eyes full of bloodthirsty fierce light and excitement.
"Your Majesty asked us to give the Nine Shadows Kingdom Joy to be extremely sad, then let me slaughter to my heart's content. The bird's beak smiled darkly and said in a deep voice.
"Well, it's not just the sea that stains blood, it's also the land of the Nine Shadows. The wasp, who was also full of gloom, also said.
