The hot wind blows on the sea, causing the waves to hit the rocks and stone pillars around Shuoyue Island, breaking into countless splashes.
The warm overcast light shines on the towering ancient trees in the courtyard of Yingzhao General's Mansion, spreading on the simple and elegant eaves. Little bits of sunlight shine through the exquisite carvings of auspicious clouds and fairy grass patterns on the window panes, and shine into the main hall.
Silhouettes formed on Ying Lingxing's back, feeling warm and comfortable.
Ying Lingxing has put away the longing in her eyes, and the smile on her face is even brighter.
As Yingzhao smiled, the look of satisfaction on his face became heavier, and at the same time, the pride in his eyes increased instead of decreasing. And Ying'er, who was filled with tears, was also full of pride for his son.
This couple, who looked like a man and a horse, were not worried that their son would die on the battlefield, or that their son would be injured on the battlefield. They were only proud of their son being appointed to the front line, and their hearts were surging, and they could not calm down for a long time.
Ninety-nine percent of the ghost people in Jiuyou Kingdom are loyal fans of Xiao Shizhu and the Ghost Mother, and they are extremely fanatical.
Just because Xiao Shizhu abolished the slavery system, the ghost mother completely fought for gender equality for the female ghosts (in Jiuyou Kingdom, those who abuse and mutilate female ghosts, and maliciously abuse them will 100% be sent to the army to do coolies, serious cases
will be sent
Guillotine; this Nine Nether Law was decreed by the Ghost Mother.), and then the two ghosts made unremitting efforts, and in a few years, every ghost in the country had food and meat on their dining table.
life. Moreover, we are strengthening governance in the country.
It has reduced crime and increased the personal safety of the ghost people. Large-scale construction of various convenient infrastructures in the country, such as spiritual canals throughout the country, and official roads extending in all directions in Jiuyou - so wide that it can accommodate sixteen horses.
The underworld where horses walk side by side has also reduced the unemployment rate in the country. They also emphasize agriculture, commerce and industrial development, and reduce various taxes, making the two ghosts have many fans in the country and other places in the underworld, and the people
The foundation couldn't be better.
Almost all the ghost citizens of the Nine Nether Kingdom, the parents of ghosts, will take the initiative to send their children to private schools and universities in various places to study in order to be admitted to the academy in the capital, and after graduation, they will serve the Nine Nether Kingdom's court.
Preparation. Or eager to send women to join the army and fight for Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother.
They all believe that this is a sense of honor above all else. Once their children join the army, it will be an honor if they survive the war. If they unfortunately die in battle, they will feel proud after being sad and crying.
Yingzhao and his wife were no exception. The ghost mother ordered Yingzhao to hand over the 50,000 air cavalry recruits who had completed training on Shuoyue Island to the leadership of Ying Lingxing. The Yizhao couple had just arrived, and they were elated for several days.
None of them could calm down the excitement in their hearts, which was like a flood. Now that their son was about to go to the battlefield, their excitement became even stronger and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
"I'm leaving, parents, please take care of yourself." Ying Lingxing bent down, bowed to Yingzhao and Ying'er, then turned around under the gaze of his parents, facing the bright cloudy light,
Embark on a journey...
Dongyizhou, in Manjiang City.
Overlapping ink-colored dark clouds spread out in the sky, and the rain curtain stretched across the sky like silk, hazy, beating on the vast earth, and also blurring the streets of the city. Dense and slanting raindrops fell to the ground, floating in the air.
The gentle and cool rain air as soft as thin sand lingers between the white walls and blue tiles.
Under the gentle breeze and drizzle, Manjiang City returned to the peace and tranquility of the days before the war.
Because Xiao Shizhu used black energy to protect the city wall, the siege strategy of the skeleton beast army crashing into the city wall collapsed. The surrendered Fengdu army, led by Ji Shang and the Goddess Gushe, fought out from the east and west sides of the city.
Like a hurricane rolling up on the ground, the army rushed to the city in a blink of an eye. Not only did they form a three-sided pincer attack on the corpse army together with the defenders in the city, they also saw the dazzling blue light flashing under the night, which blocked the city wall.
The airtight mysterious force barrier finally convinced Xiao Shizhu that he was really the legendary son of God.
As a result, these Fengdu troops, who had already decided to break away from the Northern Yin Dynasty, became more sincere in their loyalty to Jiuyou Kingdom. Their murderous faces were enough to make the Corpse Army's expressions change drastically, and a chill could not help but pass down their backs.
That night, the shrill and terrifying screams of the Corpse Army were heard outside Manjiang City, heartbreaking and filled with a strong aura of death.
Under the vigorous fighting of the Fengdu army and the defenders, within an hour, the already menacing corpse army was almost killed outside the city. The skeleton beast army also suffered heavy casualties; when it came, one hundred thousand riders,
By the end of the war, only more than 10,000 people had survived.
The defeated Corpse Soul Army was completely defeated. Seeing that the situation was over, the few remaining survivors had no choice but to flee. However, the Jiuyou National Army became red-eyed because of Xiao Shizhu's fainting, and pursued them fiercely, killing them for more than ten miles.
Finally, he ordered Jin to withdraw his troops angrily.
Xiao Shizhu, who was carried back to the Xiazhou Palace by military doctors in a hurry that night, fainted and has not woken up due to excessive consumption of profound energy. Although his vital signs are still there, he has been in a deep sleep state. Taking a closer look,
It has been ten days now.
After Jishang Zhuhai discussed with Datou, Yuhua and Gushe Goddess for a while, they decided to block the news that Xiao Shizhu was unconscious. This would be detrimental to Jiuyou Kingdom to prevent it from spreading and attracting people with ulterior motives.
Even to the defenders in the city, they only announced that Xiao Shizhu had awakened, but was still a little weak and needed to rest quietly, so it was inconvenient to go out of the palace to see the soldiers and ghosts defending the city.
At the same time, all military doctors are ordered to strictly keep confidentiality and to come up with treatment methods as soon as possible.
But the mysterious power of Xuanli is something that even the ancient gods only have a glimpse of. After painstakingly studying it for tens of thousands of years, they only have a partial understanding of it. How can a few ghost doctors in the army be able to prescribe the right medicine?
For a time, the military doctors were at a loss. They could only feed him some ginseng soup and water every day to keep him alive.
In the drizzle, a refreshing cool breeze blew into the palace. Behind the curtains that rolled up and down, Xiao Shizhu, contrary to his usual hyperactive behavior, lay quietly on the imperial couch.
With a calm face and closed eyes, he had a square Chongming pillow made of white water essence pillow under his head, and his body was covered with a brocade quilt.
The wind and rain outside the hall became denser and more concentrated. The water flowed in front of the jade steps and water columns continued under the eaves. A strong wind blew towards the main hall, and a window pane that had not been closed tightly opened and closed with the wind, making a crackling sound.
Xiao Shizhu suddenly moved his fingers, then his brows trembled, and his closed eyes slowly opened. A dazzling light flashed in his eyes, illuminating the hall as bright as day. Then the green light dispersed.
, the hall became dim again.
Xiao Shizhu, who was still a little dazed, worked hard to open his lips, and suddenly exhaled all the turbid air that had accumulated in his chest for ten days, and opened his eyes even wider.
Xiao Shizhu, who had been unconscious for ten days, finally woke up on this stormy afternoon.
After waking up for a while, Xiao Shizhu recovered from his daze. He suddenly felt hungry and his mouth was dry. Moreover, his limbs were still stiff and he couldn't even turn over.
He stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, and shouted feebly: "What the hell, come on, I want to drink water, I want to eat. I want to eat purple ghost rice, a specialty of Dongyizhou, and chicken, duck and fish meat."
.
After he repeated these words several times, the guards standing outside the gate heard his shouts through the sound of wind and rain, and hurried into the palace to check.
The sergeant stood in front of the jade couch and saw Xiao Shizhu waking up. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately shouted: "My lord is awake, my lord is awake." He turned around and ran out of the hall in tears.
What was left was the tears in the corners of his eyes when he turned around, and Xiao Shizhu lying helplessly on the bed. After watching him drift away and disappear from sight in the blink of an eye, Xiao Shizhu shouted again: "Hey, you are
Give me a drink of water first."
After a long time, the news spread throughout the palace.
Ji Shang and the Goddess Gushe rushed over first. When they saw Xiao Shizhu waking up, they suddenly froze in front of the jade couch. Gradually, their eyes widened, and joy filled them like rushing spring water.
"I want to drink water!" Xiao Shizhu shouted feebly again. The Goddess Gushe, who was stunned on the spot, quickly took off her water bag, sat beside the bed, carefully helped Xiao Shizhu up, and handed the water bag to her.
Xiao Shizhu fed him some water.
The cool spring water entered his throat, and Xiao Shizhu's face suddenly showed a sense of comfort.
After taking a few sips, Xiao Shizhu shouted with a hint of tears: "I'm hungry." A pitiful look appeared in his eyes.
At this moment, Goddess Gushe suddenly felt that the murderous human soul in front of her was a bit cute. Her cheeks turned red and her heart was restless for a long time.
Ji Shang came to his senses from his daze and said quickly: "I'll pass on the food right away!" Then he turned around and ran out of the hall.
After a while, a sumptuous meal of large fish and meat was brought into the hall one after another and placed on the jade couch and on the table that had been set up.
Datou, Zhu Hai, Yu Hua and other ghost ministers and generals from Manjiang City also came one after another.
Xiao Shizhu, whose limbs were no longer stiff, didn't even look at them. He just stared at the food in front of him. He didn't even use chopsticks, just grabbed it with his hands, opened his hands left and right, and started gobbling it up.
When the Goddess Gushe saw this, she couldn't help it. She covered her lips with her hands, made a slurping sound, and laughed dumbly.
"What are you laughing at?" Xiao Shizhu, who had eaten a lot of food in the blink of an eye, was still as hungry as a wolf; he finally glanced sideways at the goddess Gushe who was bending over slightly with a smile, and continued to grab pieces of meat and devour it.
"I laugh at you, my lord, you don't have the demeanor of Pluto at all, you look like a starving ghost." The Goddess Gushe laughed, trying hard not to laugh.
Xiao Shizhu didn't care. While chewing the food in his mouth, he replied vaguely: "I'm hungry. I'm so hungry that my chest is touching my back."
Yubi paused and swallowed the food in his mouth. Xiao Shizhu made a fist with his right hand, beat his chest a few times, then raised the water glass and drank the water in the glass. When he put down the glass, he took a long breath and looked at everyone present.
The ghost asked: "How long have I been asleep? Have the enemy troops retreated outside the city?".
"Ten days." Da Tou replied. When Zhu Hai saw Xiao Shizhu walking towards him, he nodded and told Xiao Shizhu about the battle process in detail.
After a while, when Zhu Hai finished telling the story of the battle, Xiao Shizhu had also eaten and drank. After raising his hand to wipe the oil stains on his mouth, he nodded his head with satisfaction: "This is what I heard after I woke up.
The best news ever."
Xiao Shizhu stretched out his legs from the jade couch, stood up on the solid ground, yawned long after stretching, looked around the ghosts and said: "Such good news has the effect of revitalizing blood circulation."
What are the effects of blood stasis? Do you have any other good news? Let me hear two more, and it will activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis."
"Yes, I have defected to our country yesterday and have been placed in a house in the city, guarded by heavy troops." Datou hurriedly said to him: "There is also Qingqiu who wants to marry you, the king.
The demons have also arrived in the city." (To be continued)
