Chapter 169: Strict Guard
Just after Xiao Lie and the others left with the Earth Spirit Bead, there was a commotion in the ghost troops. The riot lasted for a short time and then stopped. The young man in white inquired about the situation with the people around him, and found out that it turned out that five people had run into the ranks of the army to make trouble. Fortunately, there were no casualties on either side. A soldier pushed and shoved these five people in front of the young man in white, and the young man in white asked, "Who are you? Why are you here to make trouble?"
"We're not here to make trouble, we thought there would be some treasure here, so we came here, knowing that there would be an army here. If I had known, we wouldn't have dared to come to kill us. ”
The young man in white looked at them with contempt on his face, and said, "What about the treasure, I see you like a treasure." Drag these five people down and divide them among the brothers, and eat and decide!"
After these five people heard the decision, they were stunned for a moment, and when they saw the soldier with saliva, they immediately reacted, wailing and begging for mercy. But it was no longer helpful, and in a short time the five people who were alive turned into a pile of white bones.
Xiao Lie and his entourage returned to Duwei Mansion and sat in the pavilion, Yin Xuesong asked the two masters, Zhenqing and Zhenyun, "I didn't ask much at the Huanglong Road crossing just now, I still want to know, who is the commander of this ghost's army?"
Zhenyun replied: "It should be the young man in white, because he is too far away to see clearly, but the silhouette is very similar to you." The two of us studied it privately, and there is a great possibility that the commander of this ghost army is a demon of anger. ”
Xiao Lie slapped the stone table heavily, and said angrily: "It's useless to blame me, if I had killed him at that time, there might not have been such a thing today." Even if the ghost army came out to do evil, it would not have such a clear purpose. It was I who pushed the Kanto Province into the storm of disaster, and I have condemned the infamy of this eternal sinner. ”
"I can't rely on you for this, this is also a disaster, as long as you get through it. No one will blame you for anything, you don't have any burden on your heart. There are so many people with us that if we want to say who is a sinner, none of us can escape. So, what are you doing thinking about so much uselessness, it's better to think about how to do it perfectly. Although we don't have many people, judging from the situation of today's first encounter, the fighting quality of this group of people is not very high, and with our troops, it is more than enough to deal with them. I firmly believe that we will calm this crisis at the lowest cost, as long as nothing goes wrong. Yin Xuesong said to Xiao Lie.
Xiao Lie stood up with his hands behind his back, stood on the edge of the pavilion and said, "You don't have to persuade me, I don't have any negative emotions, and I don't have to worry about being particularly negative." Xing Hao, you can go now, follow Master Zhenxiu, send those souls to the Pear Blossom Sect first, place them, and then I will arrange other tasks for you when you come back. ”
"Okay, then I'll leave with Master Zhenxiu first, and we'll be back as soon as we're done. Anyway, it will take at least half a month for the ghost troops to arrive in Kanto Province, and our time is still very rich, so you can't be too anxious. Xing Hao and Zhen Xiu said goodbye to everyone, leaving Zhenqing and Zhenyun to help.
When the two of them left, Xiao Lie said to everyone regretfully: "The Five Thunder Talismans are not allowed in this battle, but it's really disturbing." Such a good killing weapon is not allowed to be used, according to the method said by Master Zhenxiu, in this battle, all the arrows stored in our library will be used up. After this battle, I will be poor, and I have worked so hard to save my family. ”
"Speaking of arrows, I remembered something. Yin Xuesong said to Xiao Lie: "I don't know what happened to the peach stake made by Brother Zhao, as well as Xu Huanxin's scriptures." ”
"It's just a little bit of work to be arranged, it's not necessarily whether you do it or not, why are you in a hurry, don't we have half a month of preparation time, how relaxed the time is given in this gap, it doesn't matter if the two of them will not delay the business." Xiao Lie replied, "Besides, what you said is not the same thing as what I said." ”
"It's half a month, we can't take this lightly, we must make sure that they are ready to come to the city tomorrow or in a while. If anything goes wrong, we're in a dilemma. "Yin Cedar is as calm as water on the surface, but it has already broken the waves in his heart. These things turned upside down in his heart, and they were about to crush Yin Xuesong.
"I don't think so. Nangong Junzhe saw that everyone's mood was very depressed, and put forward an opinion: "Let's get here today, everyone go back and have a good rest, and we will continue to discuss the rest tomorrow." Looking at the formation of the Huanglong Crossing, it is absolutely impossible for us to solve it easily this time. Also during the rest, everyone should think about how to protect themselves from the enemy. ”
"Well, that's all there is to it for now. Someone!" Xiao Lie nodded and called a foot soldier and said to him: "You go and inform the brothers of the Zhenfu Division, and ask them to send me all the people who can be sent out to find out the news, and once any abnormal phenomena are found at the Huanglong Road Crossing, you must tell us immediately." ”
In the inner courtyard of the palace, in the imperial study, Lord Liu knelt in front of His Majesty the Emperor: "Your Majesty the Emperor, didn't you push Xiao Lie and the others into a desperate situation by doing this? Their troops are too small, and the words to defend the city are simply not enough, how can you say that you will not send reinforcements if you don't send them." Your Majesty the Emperor, you have to think twice before you think twice. ”
"I still think about it, what I said is clear enough. This war was provoked by themselves, and it is up to them to settle it themselves. If the DPRK and China are sending tens of thousands of reinforcements to them, what if the state does not die of thieves and takes advantage of the lack of troops on the frontier to invade and cause chaos? Besides, I didn't send them any reinforcements, so didn't I let him dispatch the tens of thousands of troops at Yanmen Pass?"
"Long live the lord, you didn't mean that to the guards of Yanmen Pass, what you said was that if they were repelled to Yanmen Pass, they could dispatch the defenders in the pass at will. It's not something that means to be deployed at will during the war, if the Yanmen Pass guard strictly follows your will, this Xiao Lie's Zhenliao Capital Guards will really be in trouble!"
"Then it depends on whether the guard of this Yanmen Pass has a good brain, if he does things rigidly, I can't do anything. After Long Live Lord finished speaking, he sat down at the back of the dragon book case, and said to Lord Liu, who was kneeling in front: "I guess the guards of Yanmen Pass are not so dull in their brains. ”
"Then the garrisons of Xuzhou and Huanglong Mansion are very close to Guandong Dao, if you give an order to let the two of them send troops to Guandong Dao now, in less than a few days, Xiao Lie's difficulties will be greatly alleviated. ”
"Presumptuous!" His Majesty the Emperor slapped the Long Shu case heavily, and yelled at Lord Liu: "Are you questioning my decision-making? Shouldn't Xiao Lie and these people pay some price for this? Last time, I was going to punish them, and if you hadn't asked for your life, I would never have opened the net." And this time, you're pleading with me again because of their lack of troops, isn't it my final say in this world?"
"Your Majesty is angry, the minister never dares to have that kind of thought, the old minister and the long live lord have been fighting and killing for several years, you should know best what I am. How could I intercede for a few of them for no reason? I'm just worried that the destruction of the Kanto Road will threaten the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji. ”
"I still don't know what kind of fancy intestines you have in your stomach, aren't you just afraid that I will listen to the words of a certain courtier, and turn a deaf ear to the affairs of the Kanto Road. I'll give you the bottom line, I won't let Kanto Province go, after all, the people who live there are all my subjects, how can I not care about their lives or deaths. I have already ordered the soldiers and horses to send troops and horses to support, but instead of directly supporting Xiao Lie's Zhenliao Capital Guards, I will temporarily station the soldiers and horses sent out to Yanmen Pass, as long as the Guandong Province is in danger, these soldiers and horses will go all out to help. Now Liu Aiqing can put her heart in her stomach?"
"But Long Live Lord, if you don't tell Xiao Lie the news to them, I'm afraid something is wrong, right?"
"What's wrong?"
"The soldiers and horses who are going to attack Xiao Lie are all possessed by ghosts, and the minister has already told His Majesty about this matter last time. Xiao Lie and the others have found a way to resurrect these soldiers who were possessed by the ghosts and died. Without their methods, these sergeants would not be able to be resurrected. So, I think it's important to tell them about it. ”
"Oh. I see, that's it, no matter what method you use, it's up to you to tell them about this matter, but it must be done in secret, so that they will think that this matter was told to them by you, Lord Liu, without telling me. ”
"Hooray, why is that?"
"In order to make them more restrained, I was afraid that they would do something out of the ordinary, so I let others seize the handle. In case someone emerges in the future and follows their example, when the time comes, what are you going to let me do?"
"The emperor is sage, the ransom is dull, and the time has not grasped the holy will of His Majesty the emperor. The minister knows how to do it, so the minister will find a way, and the minister will retire!"
In the Duwei Mansion, when Xiao Lie was lying on the bed and thinking nonsense, Yin Xuesong pushed the door and entered, startling Xiao Lie. He got up from the bed and asked, "What are you going to do?" Don't knock on the door, this scares me, and I think the thieves who are far away at the Huanglong Road crossing are coming. ”
Although Yin Xuesong tried his best to suppress the joy in his heart, he still showed it on his face, and raised the letter in his hand and said to Xiao Lie: "Long live Lord has sent us reinforcements, and they will all be stationed in Yanmen Pass in three days." Lord Liu asked us to prepare more tools to break the enemy and distribute them to the newly arrived soldiers. ”
Xiao Lie took the letter and read Lord Liu's handwritten letter three times, and his voice trembled a little because he was too excited: "Tell Xing Hao to rush to Bingcheng and ask him to inform Xu Huanxin to print 50,000 sets of the Great Ri Rulai Sutra." Lord Liu is really our great benefactor, and when the matter is over, we must thank him for the old man. ”
"Don't rejoice too soon, it's a good thing, but it's also a bad thing. The latest chapter of "Kanto Road Claw Book House" is free to read for the first time.
