Ghost Emperor Bai Yu left his place of exile.
The news spread to the royal families of various countries through various channels, causing turmoil immediately.
Emperor Dong Pu had not slept well since he received the news.
At the court meeting, the focus of the civil and military discussions in the court was once drawn from Nansang's sending troops to the Ghost Emperor.
"Nansang's army marched north and pointed directly at me in Dongpu. The Ghost Emperor happened to come out at this juncture. What kind of trick does he want to play! Your Majesty, this man's scheming is deep and unpredictable. You must be on guard!"
"Now we, Dongpu and Beixiang, are at odds with each other and have started fighting several times. On one hand, we have to deal with Beixiang, and on the other, we have to mobilize troops to resist Nansang. We are surrounded by enemies from both sides. I'm afraid Ghost Emperor Bai Yu wants to reap the benefits! He really wants to If it gets mixed up, the situation Dong Pu will face will inevitably become even worse... Why is he biting me, Dong Pu, like a mad dog and not letting go!"
"Ghost Emperor Bai Yu is known as a Thousand Faces. In the past two years, we have sent so many people out to track him down, but they have failed every time! The master of the Killing Palace is as difficult to deal with as a big country. We are becoming more and more passive and helpless. What! What should I do?"
The ministers below were noisy and noisy, with everyone frowning and weighing down heavy clouds of sorrow. The noise went straight to the roof of the palace.
Emperor Dongpu sat on the dragon throne and watched this scene with a wry smile.
What to do? Where does he have the answer?
Relying on the power of the country, all the countries joined forces to exterminate the Huo family. After eradicating the thorn in their hearts, everyone was complacent and did not take this matter to heart because the countries were strong.
Decades later, the old trick was repeated. I thought it would be as easy to destroy a place of exile as it was to destroy the Huo family. Unexpectedly, Su Jiuni suffered repeated setbacks. Only then did all the countries begin to face up to these existences that they regarded as ants.
People learn lessons only after suffering losses.
Now that the world situation has become like this, all countries will definitely regret it, but why they regret it, only each country knows.
Suppressing all his thoughts, Emperor Dongpu signaled all officials to be quiet, and said, "Nansang's army has opened its way from the East China Sea and has already reached the waters southwest of Dai Viet. It will arrive at Yanwei Pass southwest of Dongpu in less than two months. For now, we are planning to If we want to gain a greater chance of victory, we can only reach an agreement with Beixiang to join forces to fight against the enemy. Time is running out, so I will immediately go to Xinmobei King to talk with him. Dongpu and Beixiang are close to each other. If Dongpu is defeated, Nansang will be next. The target of annexation must be Beixiang. The king of Mobei must also know the stakes. In addition, I have a letter sent to the Queen of Xiling hastily. There seems to be some friendship between her and the Ghost Emperor Bai Yu. , let’s see if she can make peace with it, or maybe it can give me, Dongpu, a chance to breathe.”
Upon hearing this, all the officials immediately shouted, "Your Majesty is wise!"
…
On the other side, Lingjiang Kingdom.
In the imperial study room of the imperial palace, Emperor Lingjiang had just dismissed several important ministers who were discussing the war. His head was hurting suddenly. Before he could take a rest, there was another urgent call from a spy outside the door.
"Your Majesty! My subordinates have discovered something in Longxi! Recently, several groups of traveling merchants suddenly arrived in Longxi City. They entered the customs from Longxi and exited the customs in Changye! Just outside the customs is Kongliu Island at the border with Dai Viet! My subordinates were worried that something might happen, so they urgently Come and report, let the emperor decide!"
Emperor Lingjiang frowned immediately, "Where did those traveling merchants come from?"
"The road leading to the road is stamped with the seal of the Nansang Chamber of Commerce. Although there have been frequent wars in recent years, trade between the countries has not been cut off. The guards at the city gate checked and found nothing suspicious and then let him go."
"Nansang Chamber of Commerce? Go to Kongliu Island? The Wu family on Kongliu Island fell many years ago, Wu Hetai also died suddenly, and the Poison King Valley has completely fallen into silence. No one cares about worldly affairs. Where is there any business left? More What's more, that place is now the territory of the Killing Palace!" Emperor Lingjiang stood up in a hurry. Because he had gotten up too hastily, his vision went dark, and he swayed twice. He felt that it was difficult to breathe. He trembled and said, "Quickly, send a message immediately to hide in the palace. The spies of Kongliu Island, ask them to report this matter to the Shadian Palace immediately! Go quickly!"
Lingjiang can no longer offend Shadian! I can’t afford to offend!
Nansang's caravan led from Lingjiang Pass to Kongliu Island. If the Ghost Emperor mistakenly thought that Lingjiang and Nansang were teaming up to deal with him, Lingjiang would have jumped into the Chishui River and wouldn't be able to escape!
…
At the end of April, summer begins.
The temperature is getting warmer.
The green plants that have flourished on the island all spring have bloomed with gorgeous flowers, embellishing the quiet island with a poetic and picturesque look.
The long bluestone street outside Kongliu Island is ancient and reveals the charm of time.
There are not many customers coming and going in street shops and stalls, but they are not endless.
In the teahouse near the entrance to the island, there were tea patrons sitting by the window. Turning their heads, they could see a glimpse of the island from a high place, but then they quickly looked away without daring to look further.
"A few days ago, a group of men in black were waiting at the entrance of the island. Looking at the battle, it must be that the Ghost Emperor has returned." A tea guest said in a low voice.
The person who responded also kept his voice extremely low. Even though he was sitting in the box, he did not dare to speak too boldly. "The Ghost Emperor has been away for more than half a year, right? I don't know what he was doing. He rarely comes out when he comes back." ...But when he is around, everyone should be careful and be cautious in what they say and do, so as not to get into trouble."
Someone else said, "You don't need to be too cautious. The Ghost Emperor dealt with big shots. When he was on the island, he never bullied us ordinary people."
"Having said that, you guys can't help but feel panicked and scared, right? How long will he stay when he comes back this time? Nan Sang, Dong Pu and Beixiang are about to start a fight. When he comes back at this time... I always feel that something is not right. .”
Time passed slowly as the people on the island secretly discussed and speculated.
The night fell little by little, and when the moon rose above the willow branches, the inner island that attracted much attention was still not lit.
Looking from the outside, it's pitch black, which makes it a little weird.
The Suoyan Tower on the inner island is shrouded in night, casting a huge shadow on the ground under the moonlight.
For a long time, on the ground around Suoyan Tower, in the darkness covered by the shadows of buildings and trees, human heads appeared on the ground.
As these people appeared, the air was instantly filled with a chilling atmosphere.
At the tip of the shadow of Suoyan Tower, a person came slowly. He stood downstairs with his hands behind his back and sneered upward, "Bai Yu, I know you are in the building. Did you come out and be captured without mercy, or did I lead someone to kill you?" Do not stay?"
"Without a piece of armor? Just you? With the five hundred magic soldiers you brought? Hahaha..." The man's casual voice floated from the sky, a black shadow stepped on the moon in the sky, and his robes were flying and he settled down firmly to lock the smoke. The roof of the building has cornices.
Condescending and contemptuous.
Bai Yu looked down at the old man below, raised his lips and smiled scornfully, "Old man, today I will let you see with your own eyes how useless a magic weapon that you regard as a god is!"
