[721] Within ten days
The sky was gray at night, the wind continued to rage, and the yellow sand in the sky slapped against the prisoner cart, and soon the cage was covered with a layer of yellow.
The beast souls under the female ghost cavalry, the long footprints left on the barren land, and the improvised prisoner wheel prints were soon buried by the yellow sand, without revealing the slightest trace.
Only the road signs that could be seen from time to time stood motionless in the wind and sand, silently guiding the path of this cavalry.
"Originally, all of this was peaceful, and I don't know what changes have happened to the Netherworld, and the passage between the two realms was suddenly closed. And before the closure, thousands of evil ghosts and ghosts swarmed in. Ke Yun on the side of the prisoner car raised his eyebrows, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "They began to burn, kill, and loot in the Yellow Spring for thousands of years, treating us ghosts who have lived in the Yellow Spring for a long time, like pigs and sheep. Fortunately, the Queen of Huangquan had already trained in this Yellow Spring, so she barely stabilized the situation and did not let the Huangquan Ghost Clan perish. ”。
The wind and sand in the sky didn't know where the end was, and Xiao Shizhu also saw it tasteless, so he simply leaned on a thick animal bone in the cage, and in the whining wind, he closed his eyes slightly and took a nap.
But he was also listening to every word that the cavalry leader named Ke Yun said. It turned out that the reason why they hated the ghosts was because they had an old grudge against each other.
This reason makes sense, but although Xiao Shizhu's face is calm, he is always skeptical. The education of Shi Cassia is education, but Xiao Shizhu said that vigilance has been lingering in his heart.
"Because the Queen of Huangquan was created by the ancient gods, she has some divine powers and has a long life, and she is still the leader of our Huangquan ghosts. After a long time, Ke Yun put away his anger, and the beast continued to move forward, glancing at Xiao Shizhu, who was already snoring slightly, in the wind and sand, and then said: "If you are really the son of a god who has nothing to do with Emperor Xudu, she is the only one among our ghosts in Huangquan who can identify you." If it is true, I will definitely make amends to you when the time comes. ”。
When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he raised his hand to signal that it was okay. He slowly lowered his hand and entered into a retreat with his eyes closed.
"Dare to ask this eldest sister, how long will it take for us to get to the holy land you mentioned?" Then, Tai Feng, who was following Xiao Shizhu, finally couldn't help but open his mouth and asked.
"It's coming soon, you can get to the holy land in two or three days. After Ke Yun answered, he stopped talking.
Tai Feng didn't say much more, he was asked to use his identity to set up similar things, but I was afraid that it would not be realized. The aborigines of this place hate the ghosts sent by the Emperor of Xudu so much, and it is better not to show this identity.
Fortunately, it was the first time he had heard the name of the Queen of Yellow Springs, presumably before the ancient gods created these divine servants, there was already a Queen of Yellow Springs, and she was sent to Yellow Springs, and she didn't necessarily know Taifeng.
The prisoner car was quiet, Xiao Shizhu and the others didn't say anything more, and sat quietly in the prisoner car.
The female ghosts outside the prisoner car also stopped talking, and escorted the prisoner car slowly southward in the wind and sand.
In the wind and sand, Xiao Shizhu snored loudly, drowsy for I don't know how long, and woke up at the moment when the prisoner car suddenly stopped. The surroundings also became noisy, and the female ghost cavalry formed a battle formation with beasts in the wind and sand, surrounding the prisoner carts.
Xiao Shizhu, who woke up, turned around and looked at the front of the car, only to see that in the vast wind and sand, the lights were dim and flickering, and they were gradually approaching this place.
I don't know if the ghosts in the lights are friends or enemies, and in the vast yellow spring, there are killing machines step by step, and I don't know where the ghost soldiers in the capital will rush out from where they will come from. Therefore, all the female ghost cavalry held their breath, clenched their weapons in their hands, and waited for the battle.
Xiao Shizhu didn't dare to be careless, and woke up the entourage around him one after another......
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the sea water laps on the shore.
The white waves hit the harbor reef outside the calf pass, and the waves were thrown and splashed.
The serene harbor was lined with warships, all facing south, and although they had not set sail, they were ready to go. As long as Gong Mingyi, the supreme commander here, gives an order, these 10,000 tall warships will rush out of the harbor one by one, go straight to the southern region of the sea, and attack Shuoyue Island in the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
War is dormant in this tranquility, and it is on the verge of breaking out.
Standing on the beach, standing in the wind, it was rare to put his hands behind his back, looking at the windswept sea in front of him, and the waves rolled up were stunned.
After a long time, she came over with the maid by her side and stood beside her without saying a word.
The maid didn't squeak, just stood quietly, waiting for Fei Tian to be the first to ask questions.
This maid is the most loyal maid under Feitian. She was neither loyal to the Northern Yin Dynasty, nor obedient to the Emperor Xudu. Only the heavens in front of her can mobilize and send her.
Fei Tian sent the Nine Shadows Kingdom, insisting on bringing this ghost, that is, to let himself have ghosts around him, and he would be investigated first without any action.
The blue sky and white clouds, the sea sparkling under the cloudy sun. Red-eyed seagulls fly high, circling and dancing around the masts of the warships in the harbor.
The tranquility between heaven and earth always gives Feitian a sense of hidden murder. After a long time, she turned her head to look at the maid beside her, and asked quietly, "What's the matter?"
"Your Excellency. The maid took a step forward and whispered softly in her ear in a voice that could only be heard by the heavens: "As your lord expected, it has been ascertained that a large amount of supplies in this calf pass have been carried onto the warship, and some of the sergeants have boarded the ship with the supplies. The warships in this harbor can go out of the harbor at any time to fight. The same is true of the small fish in the other nearby ports, as well as the warships that have been assembled. But now these warships are still moving, but I don't know what the purpose is?"
After saying this, the maid took her mouth away from Feitian's ears again, and looked left and right, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Naturally, as soon as I arrived here, I sensed that the local guards had secretly sent spies to lurk around us. Na Feitian continued to look ahead and whispered, "You are so flustered, but it makes them think that we are plotting something. ”。
Fei Tianben is the secret agent commander of Emperor Xudu, and he has been doing the work of collecting intelligence and probing the enemy's situation for a long time, and his perception is naturally not bad. Otherwise, before Xiao Shizhu's child was born, Emperor Xudu would not have sent her to Shuoyue Island quietly to secretly investigate whether Xuanli existed. Now while speaking, Fei Tian can still feel the woods on the beach behind him, exuding a ghostly aura. Naturally, she knew that those ghosts came from the ghost agents who were watching over them.
At this moment, if you are flustered or too vigilant, it is much more conspicuous. It's better to be calm and pretend to be really watching the scenery by the sea, but it won't make those ghosts suspicious.
When the maid heard this, she also turned around, facing the outside of the harbor. In this way, he will not be able to see their faces and eyes.
"Has Xiaoyu returned? no one has found out about her, has she?" Fei Tian pondered.
The large number of troops in the port have been assembled, most of them have already boarded the ships, and even the materials mobilized have been carried onto the warships, and the pre-battle preparations are already ready. Even the warships and ghost soldiers in the nearby military port were ready.
The precursor of the war was so obvious, but Gong Mingyi, the supreme commander here, did not move, and the reason for this was also incomprehensible for a while.
"When she returned, no one had discovered her whereabouts. The maid didn't shake her head or nod, continued to lower her voice, and said to Fei Tian: "Xiaoyu is your own hand*, and her stealth skills are unfathomable, and she is definitely not the ghost detectives arranged by Gong Mingyi, who can keep an eye on her." ”。
"That's good. The sea breeze came to her face, Fei Tian's hair and skirt swayed and flew, and she also whispered to the maid: "Don't make any changes recently, lest Gong Mingyi, a ruthless human soul, be even more suspicious." ”。
"Hmm. The maid replied softly, and said no more.
Fei Tian pondered, but she still couldn't understand why Gong Mingyi didn't move for the time being? Judging from the two days since she arrived at the calf pass, the supplies and soldiers and horses in the pass had increased dramatically. There is no doubt that there is a war going on.
And she secretly observed a few times, whether it was the transfer of materials in the pass, or the transfer of soldiers and horses, it had to go through the hands of Gong Mingyi, the Taishou of the calf pass. Fei Tian, a clear-eyed person, could also see that the commander of Emperor Xudu who secretly chose to attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom fell on Gong Mingyi.
Therefore, the non-genius pretended to be tired and rested here on the pretext of staying, and listened to more information here, as a meeting gift to the Nine Hidden Kingdoms.
But now the situation, I can't even understand Feitian, I can only face the sea breeze and frown.
"Xiaoyun, you said that their warships are ready, why don't they go to sea in time?" After a long time, Fei Tian, who still didn't know the reason, suddenly asked in a whisper: "The army used nearly 10,000 stone of grain in one day again; It is unreasonable to delay so much and lose too much. You say, what is Gong Mingyi doing?"
When the maid who was called Xiaoyun by Fei Tian heard this, she seriously pondered. After a while, he cautiously said his conjecture: "My lord once said that the most unreasonable thing is the most reasonable thing. Gong Mingyi, the soul, although he is the new favorite of Emperor Xudu. But I don't dare to sit and consume the national strength, I'm afraid that I have the approval of the Emperor Xudu, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the non-heavenly suddenly lit up. All kinds of incomprehensible thoughts have turned into nothingness at this moment. I couldn't figure out what I couldn't understand, but suddenly I figured it out.
Yes, no matter how favored Gong Mingyi is, he doesn't dare to disobey the orders of Emperor Xudu. He didn't have that kind of bones and courage. Therefore, everything he did was allowed by Emperor Xudu. And the words that Xiaoyun said about waiting for something also woke up Feitian.
Why did not the ghost detectives under Gong Mingyi leave in the dark as soon as they entered the calf holding pass, which Fei Tian thought was that the Emperor Xudu was secretly benefiting, and monitored Fei Tian not to break the soul continuation talisman.
But now it seems that she is only staring at Feitian, closely watching when she will go to sea. Since he is so concerned about this matter, and he has delayed the expedition after preparing the army, I am afraid that the time when Gong Mingyi will send troops will have to be calculated according to the days after the day when he goes to sea.
Thinking of this, Fei Tian suddenly wanted to laugh. Emperor Xudu really didn't send him to the peace talks. The peace talks are just an excuse, so that before the army arrives, the commander of the Nine Shadows Army on Shuoyue Island will be broken, so that after the chaos, the army of the Nine Shadows Kingdom on the island will inevitably be in chaos.
Thinking of this, Fei Tian calculated from the experience of commanding troops that if the army here would set off about ten days after she set off, she would leave Hong Kong to march south.
At that time, Fei Tianxian had no intention of assassinating Yingzhao, and the Xudu army arrived on Shuoyue Island.
