The cold wind blew across the official road north of Fengdu City, and the weeds on the road swayed in the wind. Several small beast souls hidden in the grass were shocked.
The rustling sound rang among the grass.
The wide official road has been a bit disrepaired, and the flat stones on the road are no longer flat, and they are now mostly broken. They can barely be able to take the car, but if this continues, the road damage will only become more and more serious.
The official road will definitely be difficult to move.
In theory, the Beiyin Dynasty allocates a lot of Yin silver to build roads every year, and the official road should not be like this. However, the Emperor of Fengdu has not been down to Luofeng Mountain for thousands of years. These Yin silver that should have been used to build roads will be released from the north.
Where did the Yin Dynasty spend the treasury? Only those ghost officials who have the appropriation know.
Anyway, the official road is not broken enough to be repaired, so just use it.
Now that he has seen most of the damaged official roads, Gong Mingyi once quietly put part of the special funds for repairing the official roads in the southern part of Liutianzhou to his own pocket.
Of course he wouldn't care, because there were so many destructive things in this official path.
Like other ghost officials in the Northern Yin Dynasty, Gong Mingyi subconsciously believed that these facilities were enough to be used.
I have to say that if a ghost official like them was placed in Jiuyou Kingdom, he would have been beheaded by Xiao Shizhu nine times.
Gong Mingyi and the others should be glad that they were an official in the Northern Yin Dynasty.
However, Gong Mingyi no longer has the heart to think about these things now. He is very confused and doesn't know what he should do next.
Stepping on the road with many damaged roads, Gong Mingyi slowly moved forward and gradually approached the long pavilion on the roadside outside the city.
When it was only about a hundred feet away from Changting, Gong Mingyi looked up and saw a line of ghosts standing beside Changting. The figure in the head was somewhat familiar.
This ghost body is three or four feet long, with a rabbit-headed and snake body, with three feet of white scales under his neck, and a set of fitted purple-red round-necked official robe.
Gong Mingyi glanced a few times and immediately recognized the ghost. It was the Sakabi who was once in the Zhongtian Palace of Beiyin and was not bad to him.
Now, the newly formed official of the Inner Guiya Ghost Office in the Northern Yin Dynasty is already the most powerful ghost in the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Gong Mingyi was suspicious, how could such a powerful ghost stand by the long pavilion? He was still smiling at him?
Sakano looked like he was here, deliberately waiting for Gong Mingyi to come.
But Gong Mingyi never thought that he was still cold when he left, so why was there any ghost who was willing to come to Changting to wait for him?
After thinking about it, Gong Mingyi came to a strange conclusion-Sakabi was not here to wait for him at all.
But as soon as he approached Changting, Sakano came up, smiled and bowed, saying, "General Gong, have you been waiting for a long time?"
After saying that, his tongue, which was slit like a snake, couldn't help but stretched a few times.
The hissing sound echoed in the wind.
Gong Mingyi quickly paused and returned a bow. He felt inexplicably in his heart, and at the same time he thought to himself: What is this old demon doing?
"General, don't get me wrong." Sakabi smiled on his face and was happy. Seeing a trace of suspicion flashing in Gong Mingyi's eyes, he hurriedly explained to him: "I have prepared some wine and food to see the general off."
.
From beginning to end, he still regarded Gong Mingyi as the general who was still in charge of the troops.
This attitude was quite enthusiastic, which made Gong Mingyi even more at a loss and puzzled.
The ghost officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty who used to call him brothers and relatives only learned about his demotion and were transferred from the bitter and cold northern land, and they all cut off contact with him one after another.
Only this Sakabi still has no indifference to Gong Mingyi.
Besides, the two ghosts were not familiar with each other before, so when they looked at the enthusiastic Sakabi in front of them, Gong Mingyi was at a loss, and it could be said that he was a little uneasy in his heart.
He looked confused with a secret look, and crossed Sakano and looked at Changting.
Sure enough, inside and outside the pavilion, in addition to a few little slaves, there were two sumptuous banquets.
Not far away, Gong Mingyi could even vaguely see the wisps of hot steam rising from the hot soup dishes.
A stream of light but not strong fragrance of wine in the wind flew around the long pavilion with the wind.
"This is a high mountain and a long road. General Gong is better off and you're going to have a good time. Drink two glasses of wine before going on the road." Gong Mingyi was still wondering. Banbi had already pulled his hand, and at the same time he was also looking at the little slave and two ghosts beside Gong Mingyi.
The man said enthusiastically, "Please go to the Changting and use some wine together."
It seems that the table of wine and food outside the long pavilion next to the official road was prepared for these ghosts.
Sakabi thought very thoughtfully.
Before Gong Mingyi could think about anything, he was enthusiastically pulled him to the Changting Pavilion and sat down.
The other little slaves also went to entertain the ghosts around Gong Mingyi.
When he looked at the table, Gong Mingyi saw that there were quite a lot of dishes. There were all kinds of dishes with all colors, fragrance and flavor in front of him.
Banbi personally picked up the wine pot and poured a full of Yijue wine for Gong Mingyi.
The clear and unmixed wine poured down, and the intoxicating fragrance of wine was filled with the dark wind passing through the long pavilion.
Smelling the scent of wine, the cold treatment and grievances I have received these days have aroused from Gong Mingyi's heart.
The word "depressed" couldn't help but appear on his face.
Sakabi looked at it, smiled slightly, poured wine for himself, sat down opposite Gong Mingyi, waved his hand, and signaled that the little slave beside him could step down first.
After the only one left in the pavilion and Gong Mingyi, Sakabi raised his glass and said to Gong Mingyi: "General's passion, please drink this cup full of love."
The depressed Gong Mingyi didn't say much, just taking the wine to relieve his sorrows. He drank no drop of the wine in Jueli in one sip.
"Why are the general frowning?" Sakano, who knew it, held a wine pot in his hand and slowly filled Gong Mingyi with a ounce of fine wine.
Gong Mingyi really didn't know what to say, so he simply remained silent.
Putting down the wine pot, Banbi picked up the chopsticks on the chopsticks pillow and picked up some dishes for Gong Mingyi.
"In my opinion, the general has also been promoted to the north, so he should be happy?" Sakano said this.
In the cold wind, Gong Mingyi heard this and was angry.
He made up his mind. Anyway, he had already done this, so he was not afraid of offending anyone. He said bluntly: "Master Sakabi, are you laughing at me?"
As he said that, Gong Mingyi pulled his face down, his face shrouded in his sinister face, and his eyes were filled with fierce light.
When Sakabi saw it, he was not shocked or afraid, and was still calm. He smiled and patted his hands gently, and praised: "This is how the general can have the power that a general should have."
"The general is a tiger with great power and should not have been depressed on his face at any time. The current general is the hero of the court who fought alone in the Jiuyou Kingdom Army and killed all directions on Shuoyue Island."
.
Excited to speak, Sakabi quickly picked up the wine glass and respectfully said: "Come on, I respect the general."
This suddenly made Gong Mingyi stunned again.
He didn't know what medicine was sold in this Sakano Gou?
But seeing Sakano's respectful and sincere look, it didn't seem to be pretending. Gong Mingyi was even more confused.
After drinking the wine in one gulp, Gong Mingyi opened the conversation, sighed, and said, "Mr. Sakabi was joking. Everyone knew that I had dropped, not promoted, so where did I say that I was promoted?"
There was no longer a fierce look in his eyes, and he wrote down his depression on his face again.
Gong Mingyi was sighing and still a little desperate.
"Stay away from the court, there are few struggles, and you can bear it." While pouring wine for him, Banbi slowly said: "Although the north is bitter and cold, the conditions are more difficult, it is easy to accumulate strength. Stay away from the court,
It will not be easy to be excluded. Besides, looking at the entire court, you only know the generals best about the Jiuyou Army. It will be a matter of time before you can use the general."
This is not without reason; after all, Gong Mingyi's understanding of the Jiuyou Army is the best in the Beiyin Dynasty.
If the Northern Yin Dynasty wanted to start a war with Jiuyou Kingdom again, even if Gong Mingyi was no longer allowed to lead his troops, Gong Mingyi's adviser would be indispensable.
But after Gong Mingyi received the imperial edict and was transferred to the North, he didn't think so.
The north is far away from the Six Heavenly Continents and even further from the Jiuyou Kingdom.
In that place, it is still cold all day long, and the living conditions are too difficult.
Although it has always been a major military garrison in the Northern Yin Dynasty, Gong Mingyi believed that asking him to go there was a place to be a slaughter, and he was just about to write the exile clearly.
Gong Mingyi really couldn't think of it. What else could be promoted when he went to this place? What else could be enabled?
He had already thought that he would be forgotten by the court in the snow and ice in the north, in the snow and snow.
Thinking of this, Gong Mingyi sighed again.
After pouring the wine, Sakabi put down the wine pot and continued: "General Gong doesn't have to sigh. Stay away from the center of the court. The general can train troops better and teach the tactics of Jiuyou Kingdom to local soldiers. In this way, even if the general is not taken away,
It doesn’t matter if you recall the Six Heavenly Continents. Once the Six Heavenly Continents change, the court will still rely on the general.”
Speaking this in a low voice, Sakabi turned his head and looked outside the pavilion.
The banquet outside was lively, and the servants he brought were playing with the ghost mess around Gong Mingyi.
The attention was not at all in the pavilion.
"General, I have something to say to the general. Based on your understanding of Jiuyou Kingdom, what is the chance of winning once the court starts a war with Jiuyou Kingdom?"
Sakabi asked with great interest.
Gong Mingyi pondered for a long time and hesitated to straighten his five fingers with his right hand.
There are not many soldiers and horses in Jiuyou Kingdom; of course, this is not much compared to the Northern Yin Dynasty. According to the information obtained by Gong Mingyi, the standing troops of Jiuyou Kingdom are only six or seven million.
The navy had only two or three million, and most of them were mermaid soldiers who could not reach the shore.
The current territory of Jiuyou Kingdom runs across the three continents. This amount of troops obviously cannot be heavily guarded in all parts of the territory.
When the war broke out, most of the elite soldiers and generals of the Jiuyou Kingdom won the victory; the Jiuyou Army was desperate when fighting, but now it was still wandering in Gong Mingyi's mind. It could arouse his inner fear at any time and at any time.
remember.
When besieging Shuoyue Island, the soldiers of Jiuyou Kingdom were hungry and full in difficulties, and even had difficulty in the weeds on Xiaoyushan City. No one surrendered and the battle was still brave.
This is incomparable to the Northern Yin Dynasty.
With the advanced weapons of the Jiuyou Kingdom, more than 100,000 people fought against the millions of troops for several months without any disadvantage. Gong Mingyi believes that if the war starts again, 50% of the chances of winning will be considered.
If you really want to fight, you are afraid that you will have a chance of winning at most 30% or 40%.
In this way, the Northern Yin Dynasty had to be the first to attack, take the initiative and take the lead.
"It will be a matter of time sooner or later to eliminate Jiuyou Kingdom. If the war begins again, the court will definitely take the initiative. However, it may not be smooth sailing. Once there is a change, the battle, offense and defense will be changed. If the Jiuyou Army counterattacks to Liutianzhou, the court should use the general again.
"When I saw that there were no ghosts to pay attention to them, Sakabi analyzed to Gong Mingyi: "Now, the general is lonely, but it does not mean that he will never have the opportunity to make a comeback from now on. I hope the general will always maintain his fighting spirit and will not be allowed to be in the north.
The coldness of the wind and snow has wiped out the enthusiasm. Actively train troops and endure waiting for the opportunity."
This is exactly what Sakano has come here.
From the moment he saw Gong Mingyi in the Beiyin Zhongtian Hall, he understood how strong the human soul hated Xiao Shizhu.
This kind of hatred will drive Gong Mingyi to constantly deal with Jiuyou Kingdom and Xiao Shizhu, and will also make Gong Mingyi come up with strange and clever plans in dealing with Jiuyou Kingdom.
In addition to his understanding of Jiuyou Kingdom, at least it will play a crucial role in the future war between the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Jiuyou Kingdom.
But now Gong Mingyi has lost his fighting spirit because he is going to work in the North. Banbi is also a little anxious in his eyes, so he makes a decision without authorization. He comes to see Gong Mingyi farewell to him, which is actually to inspire the other party's fighting spirit.
When Gong Mingyi heard this, he felt that what Banbi said was very true. He thought that he went to the north, but as a small official, he had no power. He couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty no longer trusts me, it's just a matter of going to the north.
I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future if I'm sent to the exile."
After saying that, when I started drinking the suffocation, my depression still hangs on my face.
He is still confused about the future, and his fighting spirit has not been rekindled.
"Your Majesty once distrusts Xiao Shizhu." Sakabi did not give up and continued to persuade: "But Xiao Shizhu endured it. Because he could endure it, he once gained the trust of His Majesty for a while, which made the Jiuyou Kingdom today.
”.
Thought about this, although Gong Mingyi was confused, he still had a grudge and dissatisfaction with Xiao Shizhu, so Banbi simply talked about Xiao Shizhu.
"When I was commanding troops in the north, I heard about something. When Jiuyou Country was founded, His Majesty wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination for Xiao Shizhu's loyalty to the court, so he deliberately named Jiuyou Country Ghost Mother the mother of the country.
”.
"For the outside world, although the imperial decree is said to be the Ghost Mother who participated in the creation process of the Nine Nether Kingdom and promoted the prosperity of the Nine Nether Kingdom and was enthroned. But in fact, it was His Majesty who deliberately angered Xiao Shizhu's plan. The Mother of the Kingdom, and the Mother of the Lady.
Meaning, Your Majesty deliberately mocked Xiao Shizhu for destroying ethics, and was waiting for Xiao Shizhu to see through the mystery and jump up and rebel against the court, the court could do his best to destroy the Jiuyou Kingdom. However, Xiao Shizhu had been enduring it for those years.
, He knew that the court announced the canonization because the Ghost Mother participated in the creation process of the Nine Nether Kingdom and promoted the prosperity of the Nine Nether Kingdom. He had already issued an edict to the world and remained indifferent to the sarcasm behind it. He was the country of Ghost Mother Kingdom.
The title of mother has been used to this day. It is precisely because he did not rush to rebel against the court. Jiuyou Kingdom achieved ten years of peaceful development. Under the banner of suppressing rebellion, he successfully conquered Du Ziren and expanded his territory and territory.
The strength has the capital to compete with the court. Although the north is hard, it is not clearly stated on the surface. This is to be exiled, and the general also has an opportunity to accumulate strength again. If the general is in the north, if he cannot support it
When you go down, you might as well learn Xiao Shizhu and your old opponent. Tolerance is beneficial and harmless."
Speaking of this, Banbi picked up the chopsticks and picked up a few slices of meat in the bowl in front of Gong Mingyi.
After putting down the chopsticks, Banbi whispered to Gong Mingyi: "The general is gone, and he still has the opportunity to be responsible for training troops. This ghost soldier will surely be the general's capital to regain his heavy responsibilities and trust in the future. It is you for the
The power you have accumulated. Once the world changes, this is the opportunity and strength for the general to make a comeback. The general should not be so depressed, but should be loyal to the court, so that His Majesty will trust the general again. He endured the pain for a while,
When His Majesty trusts again, the general is activated again. Can't he seek revenge on Xiao Shizhu again?"
After hearing this, Gong Mingyi looked at Sakano again and seemed to understand something.
But what he was more interested in was that as long as he could endure temporary suffering and accumulate strength through endurance.
