The wick of the oil lamp, crackling. There are a few sparks that burst out of it.

The wind and sand outside the house are still so strong. The whistling sound is like the roar of a tiger in the mountains and forests, and there is a terrifying sound in the sharp roar.

After Ke Yun said those words, the other ghosts also thought of this.

Xiao Shizhu can use the Dingfeng Bead to lead the ghosts to kill, and the pursuers of the Queen of Huangquan can also follow suit. In this way, they can kill the Black Thunder Mountain in this storm that is not too violent. Before launching another attack, set up an ambush in the strange stone valley behind the Black Thunder Mountain.

Just wait for the war to start, just force Xiao Shizhu and them into the valley, and Xiao Shizhu and they will inevitably be ambushed.

But on the contrary, if Xiao Shizhu and they move fast enough, they can also set up an ambush in the valley in advance, and they will chase the soldiers in an army.

"When will the wind and sand stop?" Thinking of this, Xiao Shizhu asked while casting an admiring look at Ke Yun.

Ke Yun has not fought in vain in recent battles, and this female ghost general has accumulated a lot of combat experience in the war, and has also learned to empathize to formulate the most effective strategy.

Xiao Shizhu was a little glad that she was not carried away by Yuzhong and stood on the side of Queen Huangquan. Otherwise, this retreat, Xiao Shizhu will inevitably be in trouble.

"It stops at night, and it's just a little sandstorm, and it doesn't take more than twelve hours. Ke Yun relied on her experience of being familiar with the local climate, recalled the weather outside the house and the intensity of the storm, and after silently calculating the time and seasons in her heart, she said slowly: "But it is also possible to advance or delay a few hours." ”。

Xiao Shizhu no longer pondered, he had already thought of a way, beckoned to the ghosts, motioned for them to lean closer, and whispered something to them before he straightened up and said, "Let's do this, and then escape at night." ”。

After thinking about it, the ghosts also felt that the plan he muttered was very credible, so they nodded their heads one after another.

"Then let's go and get ready. Ke Yun stays, I have something to tell you. Xiao Shizhu said, handed the rolled up map to the national teacher Yingying, and solemnly told the ghosts: "Remember not to make mistakes, otherwise we will all die." ”。

"No. After the ghosts who had already stood up saluted him, the national teacher Yingying took out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Shizhu: "Remember that you have to take three pills in half an hour, which can help you recover some strength and dredge the meridians." ”。

"Is it bitter?" Xiao Shizhu, who took the medicine bottle, frowned and asked. Obviously, the worry that suddenly appeared in his eyes was nothing more than fear of the taste of the bottle of Chinese medicine pills.

"Sweet and refreshing. The national teacher Yingying said and walked out of the house with the other ghosts.

After they all went out and closed the heavy stone door, Xiao Shizhu took the small medicine bottle that he had looked left and right several times and took it back into his arms.

"Ke Yun, are you sure you want to go with us?" Xiao Shizhu raised his head again, and looked at Ke Yun through the faint light of the fire in the room: "Actually, you can stay, you can completely say that I hijacked you and asked you to transfer troops and escort me out of the valley, which can also be used as a reason to exonerate the guilt." ”。

Xiao Shizhu really thinks about her, after all, in the Yellow Springs, you have to choose a ghost who is not welcomed, and now Xiao Shizhu will definitely be shortlisted for the top three. Following Xiao Shizhu is tantamount to self-destruction of the future.

But Ke Yun didn't think much about it after hearing this, but laughed.

The smile was so bright, like a blooming mountain flower.

"I can't go back, if you let me go, you want me to die. Queen Huangquan can kill you, a benefactor, let alone us courtiers?" Ke Yun smiled unabated, and the gaze in his eyes was firm: "I want to go with you to see the Netherworld and see the place where our ancestors were born." Look at your Nine Shadows Kingdom again. ”。

Having said this, Ke Yun's eyes suddenly had a little more expectation.

"What about your family?" Xiao Shizhu couldn't laugh, but asked a little worriedly.

"My family has long since died in battle, and I am the last ghost of the Ke family. Ke Yun's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, and she lowered her head slightly, avoiding Xiao Shizhu from seeing the sadness that quickly appeared in her eyes: "The long-term war has left us bruised, my father, brother, sister and sister-in-law, as well as my little nephews, nieces and nephews, all died in the war one after another. Either at the hands of the enemy, or from the diseases brought about by the war. ”。

"I'm sorry, I, I don't know, I didn't mean to mention your sadness. Xiao Shizhu hurriedly apologized, although he and Ke Yun got along day and night in the past few months, they never asked each other about their private affairs, Ke Yun's calm tone recounted the tragic behavior, but made him stunned for a moment.

"It's okay, it's all over. However, Ke Yun seemed to be downplayed, waved his hand and said: "You are here, your performance in trying to end the war has given me hope." I thought that from now on, children like me with a tragic past in Huangquan would become more and more so. But what I didn't expect was that our great queen would do such a thing to destroy the peace!".

When it came to the back, Ke Yun's eyes were full of contempt, and he couldn't help but snort coldly at the end. The snort was full of disdain for Queen Huangquan.

"So I want to go with you and see what the ghost country you created looks like?" After a pause, Ke Yun put away his contemptuous gaze and said with a smile.

"What about your sergeants, and what about their families?" Xiao Shizhu asked again, chucking his head slightly.

"Do you know why my army is nicknamed the Widow's Army by my compatriots?" Ke Yun asked rhetorically, and after a trace of suspicion flashed on Xiao Shizhu's face, the smile did not decrease but increased: "In my army, all the soldiers, whether male or female, are orphans on the battlefield. The Queen of Yellow Springs felt that they would be angry because of this, and transferred them all to my men, and guarded the border with me. And in order to keep our anger against the enemy, we are not allowed to fall in love, get married, and have children, so we call it the Widow's Army. ”。

It was difficult for Xiao Shizhu to be stunned, but now when he heard these inside stories, he was so shocked that he opened his lips slightly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

This practice does keep the soldiers distracted, but it is not known how long it will last.

"You'd better ask. Those who are unwilling can go, and those who are willing can follow us. After a while, Xiao Shizhu insisted: "I won't force people." ”。

"Yes. Ke Yun thought about it, stood up after answering, bowed to Xiao Shizhu, and then turned around and left the stone room.

After she left, Xiao Shizhu pulled out the soul Ruyu in the painting from his sleeve, and after unfolding it on the ground in front of him, he asked Ruyu in the painting: "Have you heard the method of finding incense......?"

In the evening, the wind and sand in the south of Huangquan are much lighter. The dust can only cast a faint haze on the gradually sinking sunset and the sunset on the horizon.

Xiao Yue, who wore the Wind Bead, commanded the cavalry under his command to wear the Wind Bead and roared out of the valley and into the dusk wind and sand.

In this mighty chasing army, in addition to most of the beast souls that looked the same as Xiaoyue, there were also many cavalry who needed to rely on mounts to keep up with Xiaoyue's speed, and they came from the defenders in the Yellow Springs Holy Land.

These mighty ghost soldiers followed Xiaoyue all the way north, and after galloping out of the land for ten miles, they split into two. A part of it continued to gallop north with the Howling Moon, heading straight for the Black Thunder Mountain. The rest headed east, soon disappearing into the wind and sand at dusk.

Even the long footprints left behind were gradually buried under the wind and sand.

The dusk soon dissipated before the eyes of the demons, and darkness had already enveloped the land. Although the overwhelming wind and sand are much smaller, they have not completely subsided. The heavens and the earth are still gray and yellow.

Xiaoyue, who took the lead, raised her eyes and looked into the distance, and saw the outline of the Black Thunder Mountain looming behind the wind and sand not far away.

After a flash of excitement in Xiao Yue's eyes, a bloodthirsty desire flashed. The four claws that landed on the ground sped up and sped towards the Flying Thor.

Dust is flying, wind and sand are howling.

He led the army and galloped for half a cup of tea, and then rushed to the foot of the Black Thunder Mountain. The walls in the wind and sand and the stone chambers on the mountain are even clearer.

And Xiaoyue's subordinates didn't need his order, and they followed him up the mountain one after another. These beast spirits with two wolf heads continued to use their four claws together, jumping and running wildly between the rocks on the hillside. Or fight with manpower, climb up and climb over the wall between the rocks in the mountain, slowly draw the sword on the back of the waist, or take off the repeater and raise it in your hand, and approach every stone house and stone chamber in the mountain carefully and orderly.

Soon, the entire Black Thunder Mountain was full of Huangquan ghost soldiers, they grinned, they clenched the weapons in their hands, and their vigilant eyes stared at the closed doors and windows of every stone room and stone house, but they were restless and eager to try.

But they can only refrain from it, and before receiving the signal from the Howling Moon, all the ghost soldiers must hold their breath and not act rashly.

After a while, the ghost soldiers waited for the signal. It was the shrill wolf howl that came from the Howling Moon, which had jumped to the top of the mountain, and looked up at the sky.

In the sound of the signal, the ghost soldiers of Huangquan who had already taken their places divided labor and cooperated. Some ghost soldiers are responsible for breaking down doors and opening windows. And some of the ghost soldiers are responsible for sneaking into the house after the doors and windows are wide open, and killing the ghost when they see it.

The rest are responsible for guarding the surroundings to avoid being ambushed.

In the wind and sand, the sharp whistling of the Howling Moon still echoed on the top of the mountain, and all the ghost soldiers in the mountain had already moved. One after another, the doors of the stone houses were opened. One by one, the ghost soldiers of Huangquan rushed into the house one after another, and their movements were as fast as a gale.

After a while, the sound of swords colliding did not sound as expected, and the sound of feather arrows firing did not come. In every room, there was not the slightest scream or fighting.

The wind and sand were still roaring, and the Huangquan ghost soldiers who rushed into the house looked at each other, dazed and at a loss.

All they faced was empty houses. Although the traces of Xiao Shizhu's stay again are still in the house, none of the ghost soldiers are still here.

After a long time, the dazed ghost soldiers walked out of the house one after another, and the weapons they had originally held high all hung down with their lowered arms.

After they went out, they all shook their heads at the ghost soldiers outside the house, to show that they were busy working in vain and pounced.

Soon, a messenger rushed to the top of the mountain, came to Xiaoyue, who was looking around, and knelt down and replied, "General, Xiao Shizhu and they ran away." There are traces and smells of their stay in every stone chamber in the mountain, but none of the ghost soldiers remain here. ”。

Xiao Yue, who retracted her gaze, muttered, "Ran away?"

Then he moved his nose, sniffed at the wind and sand whistling past him, and said, "What a son of God, but a coward who smears oil on the soles of his feet." ”。

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to the north, condescendingly looking at the strange rocky valley under the mountain in the wind and sand.
