Cherry blossoms fell like snowflakes, falling on the girl's hair and shoulders, making the girl's face look even more delicate.
As for the reason why the cherry blossoms suddenly fell without wind, it was because after she said the words just now, the man on the cherry blossom tree who was wearing a bright hunting suit and whose gender was indistinguishable suddenly opened a folding fan in his hand.
The bamboo fans opened and the cherry blossoms fell.
Only a bare flower tree was left, standing in the mid-spring night.
When the cherry blossoms were all gone, several red carp in the pond suddenly jumped out of the pond, but they never fell back into the water.
Because the imposing man on the rockery opened his eyes.
It was a pair of eyes as sharp and bright as swords.
And the moment he opened his eyes, several golden carps that jumped out of the water seemed to have fallen into an invisible but extremely sharp fishing net, and were silently cut into countless pieces.
The blood fell like a drizzle, dyeing the pool water as red as cherry blossoms.
Under the eaves, the figure that had always been vaguely present became clear and stood up.
He was a very tall and thin man, his whole body covered in black clothes, with a black hood on his head, and only a pair of pale gray eyes exposed.
They were a pair of cold, emotionless, lifeless eyes.
It's just that the figure of the man in black only appeared for half a second, and then changed into that vague and hazy state again.
But being able to get his figure out of that unpredictable state already showed that his mind had been greatly impacted just now.
The three powerful Nascent Souls all lost their minds at the same time and let out a little bit of their breath.
The reason why they lost their minds was the girl's words.
"In three days, the empire will send troops to Dahua!"
The day has finally come.
Three hundred years ago, after witnessing the power of the giant ships and cannons of those powerful countries in the Western Continent, they began to innovate with determination, abandoning the outdated state-governing strategies of the Great China Dynasty, and began to fully resemble the Rising Sun Kingdom learned from the Western Continent, up to the Emperor. , down to the common people, everyone is eager to one day replace Dahua and become the master of this land in the Eastern Continent.
And the germination of this ambition may be pushed back four thousand years.
Four thousand years ago, at the end of the Heavenly Court era, the Imperial God, who rebelled against Heavenly Court and no longer wanted to be controlled by Heavenly Court, created his own Shinto practice method. The practitioners of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun never practiced Heavenly Court's Taoist and Immortal techniques again. Since then, the seeds of ambition have been sown in the Kingdom of the Rising Sun.
And this kind of ambition can no longer be contained after the naval battle with Great China decades ago.
They won a lot of that naval battle.
Dahua lost and almost lost everything.
This also gave the Kingdom of the Rising Sun hope to truly overthrow the behemoth Dahua.
And the naval battle decades ago was just their test of Dahua.
This time the troops are dispatched, it will be a decisive battle to the death!
Therefore, even these Shinto "gods" who have already transcended the secular world can hardly suppress the excitement in their hearts.
Under the cherry blossom tree, the tea that has been brewing for a long time finally bloomed.
The girl poured herself a cup of tea and held it in her delicate white hands.
"Everyone should know that in the secular world, the current national and military strength of the Republic of China is no longer a match for our empire."
"If a full-scale war breaks out, the combat effectiveness of our Rising Sun Army will be enough to completely defeat the Great China Army within three months."
"Those people in the Imperial Military Department now all firmly believe in this."
"But everyone sitting here knows that this is actually impossible to do, because Dahua has the protection of the great luck formation..."
When she said this, the girl paused slightly.
Many years ago, in order to find out the specific secrets of this destiny formation, the empire's practitioners, not only the members of the Black Dragon Society, paid extremely huge sacrifices and prices.
After a moment's pause, the girl continued talking.
"Because Dahua has this formation of destiny, to conquer Dahua, we can't just look at a simple comparison of military and national strength to get the result."
"For example, in Jing City, with the Turtle and Snake formation, even if the imperial army can break through, they will probably have to pay an extremely heavy price."
"And even if we occupy the entire territory of Dahua, if these places of destiny are not destroyed, we may still be driven out of Dahua."
"So in order to completely conquer Dahua and make the empire the master of the Eastern Continent, the first thing to do is to completely destroy this great luck formation distributed throughout Dahua."
"According to the information that our Black Dragon Association currently has about this Luck Array, the entire Luck Array consists of nine Luck Places. To completely destroy this Luck Array, at least five of the Luck Arrays must be destroyed. A place of luck.”
"The land outside the Pass in the Northeast, the land of luck in Taibai Mountain, has been destroyed by us in advance, so the first target the empire chooses to attack this time is Dahua's three continents outside the Pass."
"According to the strategy of conquering Dahua formulated by the Imperial Military Department, after capturing the three continents outside the Pass, it will take several years to digest the resources of the three continents, and then divide the troops into two groups, one to attack from north to south, and the other to attack by sea. Shencheng, Jinling, and then along the river directly into the hinterland of Dahua."
"The territory of Dahua is too large. Only by dividing them into the north and the south first so that the resources of the south cannot support the battlefield in the north can the pressure on the empire be relieved."
"And where this river passes, there are three places of great fortune."
"One is Jinling, one is Jingcheng, and one is Yucheng."
"Only by destroying all the fortune formations in these three places can our imperial army achieve its strategic goal of dividing Dahua into two."
"Conquering cities and territories is the responsibility of the imperial army, but competing with Dahua for luck requires extraordinary people like us."
The girl drank all the tea in one gulp.
Takeo Nakata, who was kneeling at the door, once again showed excitement on his face.
In this courtyard, he is the only mortal, but after coming into contact with the "gods" of the empire, he knows very well whether the war with Dahua can win the final victory and complete the work of countless heroic ancestors in the empire for thousands of years. The long-cherished wish of the two countries ultimately depends on the contest between the "gods and men" of the two countries.
Then Takeo Nakata leaned down deeply and kowtowed heavily to several other people in the courtyard.
Please, gods!
For the national destiny of the empire, for the Chinese people!
"It is a pity that although at the secular level, the empire's strength has far surpassed Dahua, in the extraordinary world, we are still far behind Dahua."
"In the Seven Immortals Alliance alone, the number of immortal cultivators far exceeds that of our empire."
"If they hadn't foolishly limited themselves to the rules of heaven, we wouldn't have dared to hope to set foot on land."
"And this time, only after we, the Imperial God, have obtained the support of the 'gods' in the Western Continent, are we qualified to go to war with Dahua, but all actions must still be carried out in secret."
"Just like this Jingcheng attack operation, not only must we be extremely cautious, but it must also be completed before the empire sends troops. Otherwise, once a war breaks out between the two countries, it will not be so convenient for us to move again, and we may even want to enter Jingcheng again. Very difficult."
As the girl spoke, she opened the thick paper book in front of her again and opened the first page.
The paper records all the details of the Jingcheng operation she planned.
This was an action that made her very proud, so the girl was willing to share the experience of this action with others.
"To destroy the Luck Formation in Jingcheng, the most important thing is to kill the two big monsters guarding this formation."
"According to the information we obtained previously about this land of destiny, those two great monsters are both real wonderlands."
"It is naturally impossible for the Emperor's God to take action here personally. During this period of time, our God of War will join forces with several 'gods' in the Western Continent to draw the attention of the Seven Immortals away from the mainland."
"The three servant gods of Yushen cannot come to Dahua, otherwise they will inevitably arouse the vigilance of the Seven Immortals Alliance."
"Fortunately, we now have explosives that transcend the times, such as God-killing Explosives, and the current fairyland is not as powerful as the fairyland ten thousand years ago."
"Royal God has personally tested the power of this explosive and determined that as long as more than 10,000 kilograms of God-killing explosives are enough to kill the current fairyland."
"We just have a way to kill the two big monsters, but how to send these explosives into the Turtle and Snake Mountains is a big trouble."
"Seven Immortals Alliance's Shanjiguan and Yuelan Academy are located on the Turtle and Snake Mountains. Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely impossible for us to hide so many explosives from them and bury them in the two mountains."
"So we must draw their attention away, especially the attention of Shanjiguan and Yuelan Academy."
The girl slowly poured herself another cup of tea and stared at the first line written on the first page of the album:
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger
This is a very famous and important principle in the ancient military art of Dahua.
Of course, this sentence is also extremely important for today's war.
Regardless of the era, accurate intelligence is always the cornerstone of successful operations.
The girl smiled and then continued her story.
"If you want to deal with the Seven Immortals Alliance, you must first know what they are doing."
"So after arriving in Jingcheng, the first thing I did was to find a way to send some things to the sects of the Seven Immortals Alliance. For example, the one I sent to Shan Si Guan was a bottle. That one The bottle and the few shikigami specially trained for eavesdropping can allow me to know everything that happens in Shanjikan."
"Haha, that thing is a treasure of our royal family. In the past, only the generals who were allowed to form the shogunate were eligible to receive it from the emperor."
"Of course, I also sent almost the same things into Guiyuan Temple and Yuelan Academy."
"So every move of the Seven Immortals Alliance can no longer be hidden from me."
"Next, we have to find a way to attract the attention of the Seven Immortals Alliance, and we must use some seemingly logical methods that will not arouse suspicion."
"The second thing I did was to disguise my identity and enter the Le Maiden Gate. When I was in the empire, I had already selected the chess pieces to attract the attention of Yue Lan Academy."
"Because our royal family once took in a girl who escaped from Dahua many years ago, so we know the grudges between the girls' sect and the academy, and we also know how to find the girl who can only hide her identity now. "
"I chose one of the girls, changed her appearance and became her maid, and then lured her to come to Jingcheng to seek revenge from Yuelan Academy."
"And in order to prevent her from being caught by Yue Lan Academy so easily and to delay the disciples of Yue Lan Academy for more time, I deliberately stayed by her side to help her avoid Yue Lan Academy's tracking."
"At that time, almost all the disciples of Yuelan Academy were looking for traces of her outside. There was almost no one in the academy. Naturally, no one noticed that the quarry we controlled had dug many tunnels in Snake Mountain. .”
"During this period, some accidents also occurred. An action team that was originally lurking in Jingcheng acted without authorization and attempted to ambush the people who had been watching. It almost exposed our strength here."
"But this incident also has a good consequence, that is, it also attracted the attention of Shanjiguan and Guiyuan Temple for a period of time."
"As for how to completely attract the attention of Shanxi Guan, I didn't think of a particularly good way before coming to Jingcheng. It wasn't until I sent the bottle into Shanxi Guan that I discovered something very interesting. "
"Who would have thought that Li Zhixia, the master of Shanjiguan, has already gone crazy. She wails and writhes in her secret room every night. All of this is seen by the shikigami I sent in."
"Li Zhixia turns out to be the mysterious 'Swallow'."
"But I will reveal this secret to the other two sects of the Seven Immortals Alliance at the most critical moment."
"And in this operation in Jingcheng, there is another biggest obstacle, and that is the Monkey King who lives in the Temple of Good Self."
"Lu Duanyang hid the Monkey King who almost overturned the heaven in a Taoist temple under his sect. Even in the world of Dahua cultivation, it is a shocking secret that few people know, but our Emperor God happens to know this. secret."
"Because Huang Da Yu Shen and the Monkey King were once very good friends and comrades who fought against Heaven together..."
When she said this, the girl suddenly stopped and turned her head slightly, showing an expression of attentive listening.
Then she stood up from under the cherry blossom tree where all the cherry blossoms had fallen, made a wait gesture to the others, and then walked into a room in the courtyard.
This is her bedroom.
The layout of the bedroom is extremely simple, without any decorative items that a girl of her age should like.
The last time Shu Guan sneaked into this bedroom, he was also surprised by the too simple style of this bedroom.
It's just that there is one more thing in this bedroom than when Shu Guan sneaked in last time.
It was a celadon moon-holding bottle. Except that there was no painting on the bottle, this celadon moon-holding bottle was exactly the same as the bottle Shu Guan brought back to Shanjiguan from Dahong Rice Shop.
This was originally a pair of bottles!
A pair of bottles that communicate with each other.
The girl walked up to the celadon moon bottle and listened intently.
Then her expression turned angry.
"How dare you reveal the secret, damn it!"
She said this coldly, and with a slight thought in her mind, the woman in white who was being interrogated by Shu Guan in Shan's view instantly disappeared into ashes.
The girl smiled faintly.
But at this moment, if he knew something, it would not affect the overall situation.
"Hello!"
From the celadon moon-holding bottle, there came such a probing and doubtful voice.
The girl picked up the celadon moon bottle, giggled and responded to the mouth of the bottle:
"Hello, Shuguan!"
