Gao Gu thought the same as Hadili. He also felt that the snake god would not issue an oracle for no reason. There must be something he valued about Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo. You must know that a month ago, Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo I found him first and hoped to follow him to the Western Regions.
Did the Snake God foretell that Hu Xiuwu was coming to the Western Region, so he wanted Queen Jingjue to take the opportunity to kill him? Or was it that Hu Xiuwu came for Jingjue, and the Snake God made a special oracle for this purpose?
The meaning of this is worth pondering,
Gao Gu and Hu Xiuwu talked so much. In addition to hiding the desire to talk that he had accumulated for a long time, his other purpose was to show his strength to Hu Xiuwu and win over Hu Xiuwu.
The Zakrama tribe has no strength. If they don't have a complete plan, how can they win people to cooperate? Even if they want to ask for investment, they at least have an attractive PPT.
On the other hand, by winning over Hu Xiuwu, they can also draw Prince Gumo to their side.
Just like he had just used King Qiuci as a bargaining chip to attract Hu Xiuwu, if he could use Hu Xiuwu to attract Prince Gumo to join them, then he would have the confidence to truly persuade King Qiuci Zeluo to rebel against Jingjue Kingdom.
The strength of each country in the thirty-six countries in the Western Region is different. Some countries may not have a rural leader like the Han Dynasty, so they can only be a facilitator in this Western Region.
Except for the out-of-standard Jingjue Kingdom, the other top five countries together can be as powerful as the other thirty countries.
As long as the largest countries are dragged to their side, other small countries can only be coerced by the general trend and follow them.
Gao Gu has been planning for a long time and has thoroughly studied every person in the Western Region who can influence the overall situation. Once his plan starts, it does not require human manipulation, and people's hearts will help him advance his plan, and the flames of war will burn throughout the Western Region.
His plans were ruthless and efficient, but he never considered the residents of the Western Regions.
That's right, the people of the Zakrama tribe can't protect themselves, so there is no extra compassion to give to others.
As Gao Gu had imagined, the Western Region was a place of endless fighting and a war-torn place. The Western Region would devastate all living beings, and the Jingjue country would have strong soldiers and horses. Even if the other countries united to defeat Jingjue, they would still suffer heavy casualties.
Although Hu Xiuwu was indifferent, he was not anti-human. He also had some compassion in his heart. He could not bear to see such a tragedy, and he did not have so much time to accompany the people of the Western Regions to fight with Queen Jingjue.
He and Chen Duo were in their teenage years and were growing very fast. He had already noticed that he was a little taller. If he was delayed for a long time, how would he explain to his parents when he returned?
Dad, Mom, look, your son has been out for more than ten days and has grown more than ten centimeters taller by drinking milk. He can even be promoted to high school!
Even if you drink a ton, it won't last that long. It's not a game where you can trade your liver for time.
Hu Yunxuan knew something about strangers and might be able to bear it better, but Hu’s mother still had to faint.
It must be as written in the original history, the outcome must be decided in one battle!
Seeing Hu Xiuwu thinking silently, but with a somewhat moved look on his face, Gao Gu knew that Hu Xiuwu had some thoughts. He couldn't persuade him too much at this time, as it would be too easy to go too far:
"It's getting late. Sir, you can go back to your room to rest and think about it slowly. We'll talk about it tomorrow."
In the current Western Region, the strength of the Zakrama clan is the weakest. The dozens of people in the caravan are not equal to the weight of Gao Gu, so they can only be careful to play both sides.
After parting ways with Gao Gu, Hu Xiuwu went to his room. He had just finished taking a shower in his room before going to Fangshi. He was not a stranger to this place. He could barely be said to be familiar with it.
In the yard next to him is Chen Duo's room. Her room is dark at this moment, and Chen Duo has already rested.
Hu Xiuwu didn't bother her anymore. He opened the door and entered his room. Without lighting a lamp, he just sat down in the darkness. He raised his head slightly and closed his eyes, as if communicating with something in the void.
The moonlight that soothes the earth in the darkness shines into the house from the window, covering Hu Xiuwu with a layer of silver gauze, as if he has melted into the moonlight.
The next second, the full moon was covered by dark clouds, and the moonlight in the house also disappeared. Hu Xiuwu disappeared with the moonlight.
······
When Hu Xiuwu opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the ghost tomb. The current ghost tomb can no longer be called a tomb.
Under Hu Xiuwu's feet was the sticky and cold earth. When he looked up, he no longer saw the low tomb roof, but layers of thick clouds and a cold and chilling blood moon.
This land spans thirty thousand miles and is as big as two forty-nine cities. It is dry, desolate and empty. Only behind Hu Xiuwu stands a tall, majestic and majestic capital city.
The city wall is dozens of feet high and is made of black bricks, simple and dignified. On the plaque in the center of the city gate are two large characters with iron paintings and silver hooks.
Fengdu.
This is Fengdu. Are you kidding me? The word "Fengdu" in your family is written in Tang regular script?
Also, the handwriting looks very familiar, and it looks so much like the handwriting of a certain Taishi Ling named Li.
The Ghost Tomb, no, is Fengdu, nor is the place where Fengdu is located, it should be Luo Fengtian.
The blood moon in the sky above Luo Feng gave Fengdu a touch of blood, making the atmosphere in the capital seem a bit strange.
The empty city was quiet, and gray satin-like mist floated on the streets. Standing in the cold and quiet city gate, you could only hear your own footsteps, and your subtle breathing and heartbeat were amplified.
Today's Fengdu is more like a scene in a horror movie. The surrounding atmosphere is gloomy, but Hu Xiuwu stands at the gate of the city, but unusually does not have any panic or vigilance. Instead, he feels like he was clinging to Wu Dechang when he was a child on Maoshan Mountain. A sense of peace and tranquility.
At the same time, Hu Xiuwu also felt energetic, as if he had drank strong tea that refreshed his mind, but he was not tense, but felt a little comfortable.
The black mist floating in the city can warm the spirit and weaken the incense of the soul.
This shows that Fengdu now has the conditions for the soul to reside. From this point of view, the name Fengdu is worthy of its name.
Suddenly a dark shadow flashed across the city, heading towards Hu Xiuwu.
It was Yu Jingzi and Aman who sensed that Hu Xiuwu had entered Fengdu and rushed to join him.
When shopping in Yancheng, you can't carry the sword with you when you meet Prince Gumo and Gao Gu, and you don't feel safe leaving it elsewhere. Hu Xiuwu sent the two of them to the ghost grave long before going shopping.
Yu Jingzi drove the three corpse needles and flew towards Hu Xiuwu like wind and lightning, while Aman forcibly hung Zhegui on the three corpse needles and took a ride.
I had just met them a day ago. I didn't miss these two little guys too much, but I felt a sense of surprise and excitement as if their parents suddenly came to see them when they were on campus.
Hu Xiuwu was walking in the quiet Fengdu, leaning on Zhegui, with a crystal jade rabbit on his shoulder and a colorful spiritual snake surrounding him.
Fengdu is much larger than Yancheng. The main road Hu Xiuwu is walking on is a hundred meters wide. Walking all the way from the city gate, Hu Xiuwu only walked half of the distance, which took him nearly fifteen minutes. He estimated that the road was at least five kilometers long.
There are many houses on both sides of the road. There are many buildings, connected by pavilions and streets. There is a teahouse every ten steps, a restaurant every five steps, and countless shops.
I don't know if it's because this Fengdu was transformed from the Ghost Tomb, but Hu Xiuwu always felt familiar with it, and it became stronger and stronger as he went deeper.
At the end of this spacious galloping road, there is a majestic gate tower with five door openings. This gate tower is tall and gorgeous, showing a prosperous atmosphere. The solid gate that is dozens of feet high is tightly closed.
The dim moonlight in Fengdu only accentuated the mysterious fear of this inner city, like a looming dragon lying in the abyss.
On the city gate tower in the center, like the Fengdu City Gate, there is a plaque hanging.
Zhuque Gate,
When Hu Xiuwu stood in front of the Suzaku Gate, accompanied by a low and roaring sound of the door opening, the city gate opened wide, and the heavy and strong door leaves moved to both sides, like silent and loyal guards, the guards greeted its owner from left to right.
But Hu Xiuwu was not in a hurry to go in. He just looked at the familiar handwriting on the Suzaku Gate and finally discovered why he always felt that this Feng was familiar.
Aman pulled Hu Xiuwu's hair with his short hand on Hu Xiuwu's left shoulder, and pointed at the city gate with his other hand and chirped excitedly.
Aman came out of Fengdu's warehouse for the first time, but she was not excited because she saw Fengdu, but because she had seen this style many times before.
"I know I know."
Hu Xiuwu lifted Aman from his shoulders into his arms, rubbed her head, and said sadly:
"It's too much, it's too much. Even if you are my ancestor, Li Chunfeng, I still want to say that you are referring to a deer as a horse!"
"Is this Fengdu? Isn't this damn Chang'an! Li Chunfeng, if you point at Chang'an and insist it's Fengdu, don't worry about Yu Wenkai causing trouble for you down there!"
