The breeze blew by the top of the mountain, but the mist did not dissipate. It just blew them into a spiral, forming a whirlpool of whirlpool around Xiaoshizhu.
Xiao Shizhu, who had been silently observing these stone ghosts for a long time, stood in front of an armored stone ghost wearing her chest, back and shoulders, decorated with eight flower knots. Suddenly, he took a deep breath, concentrated his mind and qi and put a wisp of mystery.
The force is used to move out of the Dantian, allowing it to slowly wander along the meridians, gathering at the palm of the right hand pressed on the abdomen of the stone ghost, and then slowly gushing out along the pores of the palm, penetrating through the hard rocks, and penetrate the body of the stone ghost one by one.
Go in the middle.
"I awaken the sleeping stone ghosts in the name of the Son of God." Xiao Shizhu didn't know whether he could awaken them by doing this, but he still held a trace of hope, slowly closed his eyes, and continued to recite silently in his heart:
"I hope you will fulfill your promises back then, be loyal to the ancient gods, be loyal to the son of God who is trying hard to overthrow the rule of the Emperor of Fengdu, and use your strong body and firm belief to join hands with me to create a better future for the underworld!"
Then he activated the mysterious power, causing it to continue to squirt out of his palm, and through this touched stone ghost, he flowed the mysterious power into the earth, forming a huge network of mysterious power underground, so that he could sense everything on the top of the mountain.
The stone ghosts were all connected.
After a long time, Xiao Shizhu used most of the mysterious power in his dantian, but the stone ghost was still motionless and stood quietly in front of him.
The hope in his heart, after looking up at the stone ghost's cheek for a moment, finally turned into disappointment, cursing in his heart: "Hmph, waste my mysterious power; there are all lies in the myth." Then, he turned around and looked at Xiao Fuling
Leaving in disappointment.
"Go away Fuling." Xiao Shizhu turned over and rode on the Rock Fire Bear. He waved to Xiao Fuling, who was still circling around the stone ghosts not far away, and was circling around the stone ghosts. He was excited: "We strive to cross this mountain before noon.
.”.
"I understand." Xiao Fuling, who was reluctant to leave, waved to the stone statues, turned around and ran towards his father.
A line of ghosts moved forward again, under the guidance of Ma Long, and slowly drove the beast in the mist, heading towards the foot of the Eastern Mountain.
The refreshing mountain breeze blows, whilst waving the mist changes constantly, it also makes the bronze bells the size of a fist hanging on the neck of the Rock Huo Bear make a crisp and pleasant sound, echoing between the mountains.
As Xiao Shizhu and the others gradually drifted away, the ringtone gradually became lower and lower.
After their figures disappeared in the mist for a long time, the two eyes that were motionless suddenly turned slowly on the stone ghost face standing on the top of the mountain and being touched by Xiao Shizhu.
Immediately afterwards, the eyes of other stone ghosts slowly turned; the moss on their bodies also slid down with their limbs that had been stiff for thousands of miles.
When the thousand peaks first woke up, clouds floated out of the mountains and rose to the green Luofeng Mountain. Thousands of drizzle like soft willows and cows hair were sprinkled with the wind.
Deep in the palace, a two-story horn-flying pleasure boat parked to the west of a lotus pond. Its delicate figure is reflected in the water, beautiful and elegant.
At this moment, the Emperor of Fengdu, with a calm expression, was standing on the bow of the boat, staring at the falling raindrops, ripples after ripples on the water in front of him.
The thin-wire-like raindrops fell an inch above his head and were blocked by an invisible force. They could no longer fall, and they ejected out in all directions.
Therefore, even if the spring rain continues, the clothes on the King of Fengdu are not wet yet.
"The Night Travel God led a large army five days ago." Emperor Song, who was kneeling behind him, had no such good life; in just a while, Emperor Song's court robes were completely wet, but he had to kneel down.
On the board, he reported to the report: "Your Majesty, the 200,000 reinforcements you urgently gathered will also arrive at Baodu Pass this morning. You can only wait for the fleet and supplies to arrive tomorrow, and you can start."
As he spoke, the thick eyebrows on his square face had already started to drip.
"Where is Xiao Shizhu?" The Emperor of Fengdu spoke slowly and asked softly: "Where is he now?"
"According to the secret spies arranged by the court in the Southern Barbarians, he captured Du Ziren's ghost crying beach and was preparing to start a protracted battle with him." Emperor Song quickly raised his hand, suddenly wiped the raindrops on his face, and replied: "And most of the military is under pressure.
The Southern Barbarians are temporarily unable to return to Shuoyue Island.”
"Well, that's good; you are fully responsible for the supply of Yeyou Divine Army in the future." The Emperor of Fengdu, who was happy in his heart, said lightly: "In addition, notify Yeyou Divine God, immediately after taking down Shuoyue Island,
Advance towards the heartland of Jiuyou Kingdom. You don’t have to care about the lives and death of the people. Even if you kill the country in Jiuyou, you don’t hear the crow of chickens and no dogs barking thousands of miles away.”
"No." Emperor Song responded, very suspicious. I wonder where Xiao Shizhu offended the Emperor of Fengdu and made him die?
The mountain breeze blew the whispers in the air to the point of swaying.
At the same time, the Emperor of Fengdu looked up slightly, and through the rain and fog, he saw King Yama walking quickly with his scepter and coming towards him. Seeing his hurried expression, he was very anxious, the Emperor of Fengdu couldn't help frowning.
"Your Majesty, it's not good." After a while, the panting King Yama quickly walked to the pleasure boat, stood beside the Emperor of Song, and hurriedly knelt down and shouted: "Today I was ordered to go to the two major granaries in the north and south of Fengdu.
After mobilizing grain and grass, I found that most of the grain in the granary was moldy; initially estimated that seven or eight out of ten grains stored in these two granaries were no longer inedible.”
The Emperor of Fengdu was stunned when he heard this, his hands hiding behind his cuffs trembled slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "What's going on?". He was still happy, and his face was filled with anger in an instant.
"After the grain officials urgently investigated, they found that mold came from a batch of grain." King Yama did not dare to hide it and hurried back: "Last autumn, the granary was empty. Your Majesty, you asked the princes and kings in various places who had not participated in the suppression of the rebellion to pay tribute to the grain and grass to expand the granary.
At that time, the King of Jiuyou Xiao Shizhu paid tribute to 30 million stones of corn. This batch of corn was sent to Fengdu in sealed sacks. Most of them were the best corn, but the middle one was moldy and wet, and the mold came from
Here, after the corn was transported, it was moldy in the middle of the grain bag and was wrapped in the fine corn. Therefore, the grain officials could only obtain fine corn no matter how they checked it. Seeing that the corn was safe and sound, the grain officials
Naturally, without thinking too much, I put all the corn into the warehouse separately.”
"Then the weather became wet in winter, and mold quickly grew and spread." After a pause, King Yama replied carefully: "If it weren't for the fact that today's ministers would go to mobilize grain and grass, the grain stored in the upper floor of the granary would have been south.
The army of conquests has taken it away, and the mold that is staying in the lower layer may not be discovered!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Emperor Fengdu, who was facing his back to him and Emperor Song, had already burst out with blue veins on his forehead, and murderous aura in his eyes. He clenched his fists and let his fingertips sink deep into his palms.
He thought he was going to plot against Xiao Shizhu immediately, but he never expected that Xiao Shizhu would take the initiative and plot against him.
This made him firmly believe that there were spies sent by Xiao Shizhu in the court, so Xiao Shizhu could take him so quickly and accurately and counterattack.
However, the most urgent task is to solve the problem of food storage immediately. So the Emperor of Fengdu suppressed the rising anger in his heart and asked anxiously: "How many food and grass are there now intact now?"
King Yama was silent for a while before answering in a low voice: "No less than 500,000 stones."
"Damn Xiao Shizhu." The Emperor of Fengdu, who was already furious, snorted heavily and cursed hatefully: "It actually came to my head; I said why he was so kind-hearted, and as soon as he heard the news of collecting grain, he immediately turned out to be
What about sending him the six-year-old food reserved in Jiuyou Kingdom? It's really damn!".
"What should I do now?" The nervousness and impatience on King Yama's face increased instead of reducing, and he asked anxiously: "In this way, the court no longer has any adjustable military rations and supports the Western Expedition."
But my heart was filled with excitement and silently cheered Xiao Shizhu's wit.
Even Emperor Song, who was listening silently on the side, was shocked and suddenly felt a little admiration for Xiao Shizhu's boldness and carefulness.
"Immediately allocate silver from the silver treasury and let the grain officials go to my jurisdiction to buy the people's grain reserves." But the Emperor of Fengdu is the Emperor of Fengdu after all. He has two tricks who can rule the underworld for thousands of years but the throne has not fallen;
After pondering for a moment, he had already come up with a solution and said to King Yan immediately: "Put out the stored grain seeds and hand them over to the garrisons and farmers in Fengdu, so that they can cultivate a large amount of wasteland around Fengdu during the spring plowing season and put all the seeds."
Sow the seeds into the fields. At least in this way, harvesting this autumn can make up for the loss of the granary."
"This" King Yama was shocked when he heard this. He wanted to speak for a while and then said in a trembling voice with a hint of embarrassment: "The seeds of grain stocks that have been hoarded in recent years have also come from Jiuyou Kingdom; when I discovered that the grain was moldy, I
I was more careful. I immediately sent my men to check the grain seeds and found that although the seeds are full of grains, they were actually mixed with most of the seeds that were cooked and dried. If I didn't peel off the outer skin of the seeds, I didn't know that this was
Cooked seeds. Such seeds cannot be planted in any way."
"What?" The Emperor of Fengdu could not believe what his ears heard. His repeated worries made him feel a little relieved for a while.
Xiao Shizhu's every step of the way was dazzling to the Emperor of Fengdu. Since he defeated the gods and completed the constitutional monarchy in the underworld, Xiao Shizhu is the first to force him to a dead end.
Over the years, Xiao Shizhu has been a loyal prince and king on the surface, and has refused all the unreasonable requests from the Emperor of Fengdu.
Unexpectedly, such a good little ghost dared to disobey this level of persecution; in addition to occupying the Emperor of Fengdu to conquer the Southern Barbarians, he took back the silver and weapons he sent little by little, he also knew that he had given it.
The tribute grain and seeds that came were impossible to be used at once, and some difficult-to-know tricks were made on them, which caught the Emperor of Fengdu off guard when he wanted to use them.
Moreover, food and seeds are the most easily overlooked links before the war begins, but once the war breaks out, these things can influence the success or failure of the war.
Xiao Shizhu captured the greed of the Emperor of Fengdu, and was greedy and needed his own offering to support the Northern Yin Dynasty, and made a beautiful counterattack!
At the same time, we also know that once the Emperor of Fengdu asked for food, he would definitely deposit it into the two major granaries in Fengdu. The grain stored in these two granaries is generally used for disaster relief and military use in the Northern Yin Dynasty. It would be fine if he didn't fight, but he would slowly fight.
The food that breeds mold can tightly choke the throat of the Emperor of Fengdu.
The Emperor of Fengdu suddenly understood that Xiao Shizhu's bargaining over the years was only weapons and underworld coins, and he never needed food and grass. He just wanted to make it difficult for him to notice the crisis of growing up slowly in the granary.
And so, if Xiao Shizhu doesn't know how to cheat, it's a fool.
Thinking about these two things that happened to the heart, the Emperor of Fengdu suddenly realized that he had been fooled by Xiao Shizhu, and his anger increased instead of diminishing.
He was already extremely angry, and he was full of murderous aura and asked sternly: "Who was the one who received these food and supplies?" (To be continued)
