Just when Gu Lan took the 295 number and returned home.
Thousands of miles away, in the far west!
Demon Realm Holy Demon Palace!
In a palace made of giant dragon skulls, there were three big demons sitting around it, and their auras had reached the realm of demon emperors.
And in the blood pool in the center of them, a blurry shadow is projected here!
That phantom was obviously not the real body, but its aura actually overpowered the three Demon Emperors, making them all appear to be submissive!
The demon emperor’s shadow!
There was also a broken red jade plaque on the blood pool table, which represented the Fire Fox Demon King that Gu Lan had killed a few days ago.
now.
The demon emperor's phantom slowly opened his vertical pupils, looked around in a low voice and said: "Three of you, our people of the Fox Clan cannot die in the Jingguo territory in such an unexplained way. I have issued a letter of war to them, and will gather an army to launch a frontal battle in the near future. Attack...do you three have any objections?"
After the words fell, the three demon kings reacted differently.
A very ferocious-looking demon king with a bear head spoke first, with a look of valiant joy in his giant eyes.
"Emperor, we of the Angry Bear Tribe have no objection. As long as we fight against the human race, we are willing to do it!"
follow closely.
The other banshee emperor with a human face and a spider body thought for a while, and also smiled and said with a hint of coquettishness: "As long as Brother Xiong Emperor charges, my little sister is also willing to hold the whip and stirrup for the emperor."
The demon emperor's shadow nodded, and his majestic gaze fell on the last demon emperor.
This Demon King is none other than the Fire Fox Demon King’s master and the master of the Holy Demon Palace here, the Red Flame Wolf Emperor.
But the Wolf King seemed hesitant at this moment!
Because he had read the war document issued by the Demon Emperor, it was to raise troops in the name of revenge from the Holy Demon Palace. Once the war started, the Holy Demon Palace would definitely be the vanguard!
In a long-term and huge national war, the vanguard is generally equal to cannon fodder.
Because a so-called direct disciple ruined the future of the Holy Demon Palace, he is not as stupid as Emperor Xiong!
The Demon Emperor's city is motionless, but it wants us to come out in full force. The old fox clearly treats us as guns... The Red Flame Wolf Emperor glanced at the Demon Emperor and hesitated: "Emperor, I think this battle is a bit too hasty. After all, the cause of the disciple’s death has not yet been found out..."
"Yunzhou's informant has sent word that he is nothing more than a human swordsman. You don't have to be so afraid."
The Demon Emperor said: "I promise you that if the Sword Immortal takes action in the future, I, the Demon Emperor City, will definitely not stand idly by!"
"Now...you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
The demon emperor's phantom's gaze seemed to be intense.
The Wolf Emperor scolded his mother for being a traitor in his heart, but on the outside he could only give in: "Yes, Emperor, our Holy Demon Palace...will send troops today."
The Demon Emperor smiled slightly, his eyes were deep, and he looked around the three emperors and said: "This national war is mainly about testing. If I guess correctly, something is wrong in Jingguo... The productivity foundation that their human race has always been proud of, Haha, maybe not as many as our demon world now...
In short, this battle... is an opportunity not to be missed! "
...
Langzhou City.
Gu Lan took advantage of the night to return to his house.
"Lady?"
"Master, my wife is not here. She went out to buy flowers at noon. She said she wanted to put some at home and in the teahouse." Lao Yang's loud voice came from the concierge.
"knew!"
Gu Lan immediately entered the study.
The Gu Mansion would not serve dinner until his wife came back, so he still had some time to improve his cultivation.
"There is still one chapter left in the Journey to the West novel. Let's finish it tonight."
Gu Lan stretched out, picked up the langhao pen, and wrote carefully on the slip under the light of the candle.
but.
As a time-traveling party, besides copying the script to coax his wife, he still did not forget some serious matters belonging to the copywriter.
For example, what just started today...
[You wrote the first article of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", medical skill +200, and obtained Resurrection Pill x10]
[You wrote the first article of "Essential Techniques for Elevating the People", and received x100 of food and seeds from previous lives, and x1 of the Great Life Technique]
【...】
Fortunately, he had learned a little bit about everything in his previous life, so Gu Lan brought two ancient masterpieces to this life based on his impressions.
Although it was only the first article, the reward given by the scholar system made his eyes light up!
Immortal elixir, resurrection elixir!
It is the legendary magic medicine that can bring human flesh and bones to life!
Taken alone, it may only be an immortal product, but if combined with the resurrecting pill that I obtained before, the efficacy can even reach the level of a holy product!
With the blessing of these two medicines and the memory of medical skills, Gu Lan felt that even if he was only half-breathing, he could save him from death!
This is much better than giving it decades to cultivate!
Let’s look at grain types.
Gu Lan thought, and a heavy small cloth bag appeared in his hand. He untied it and poured it into his hand. A faint fragrance of rice floated up.
"So familiar..."
"It is indeed my Chinese magic rice in my previous life!"
Gu Lan rubbed the rice seeds, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
Magic rice was very common in previous lives, but in this ancient dynasty where "bones freeze on the road and locusts suffer from drought every year", it is undoubtedly a treasure that can drive countless people crazy!
You know, even in Jingguo, which has relatively fertile land, the grain yield is only one stone per mu, which is less than a few tenths of the magic rice!
Not to mention other small and barren countries!
"I just don't know if the water and soil of another world are suitable... It's just the right time to test my great life technique!"
Gu Lan grabbed a few grain seeds and immediately left the study and headed for the flower field behind the mansion.
.....
the other side.
After Mu Yuyan arranged the flowers and plants in the teahouse, she took a carriage back to Gu's mansion.
On the road, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the shadows, and the coachman quietly got into the carriage without even noticing it.
"Your Majesty, the young master has taken back the No. 295 card given by Fu Yin. There is no need to worry about Qiu Wei anymore."
Liu Yexi had finished the matter and said softly.
She had been following Xuan Tiansi secretly all day long, so she was naturally aware of what happened at the gate of the Yamen.
Liu Yexi was about to listen to the empress.
But this time.
She suddenly realized that the empress seemed to be in a trance, with a hint of...sullenness in her beautiful eyes?
Having served the empress since she was a child, her feelings are unmistakable.
Since His Majesty married Young Master Gu, he has rarely felt this way... Liu Yexi asked with concern: "Your Majesty, you seem to be troubled?"
"Well... you can see for yourself."
Mu Yuyan came back to her senses and handed the crumpled secret letter in her hand to Liu Yexi. Her expression was silent, but it was obvious that there was an unknown anger in her eyes!
Liu Yexi took the secret letter and saw that there was also a golden letter of challenge inside, with a nine-tailed sky fox on it!
"Demon World War Book?!"
Liu Yexi was shocked!
Today's Demon Emperor is a nine-tailed sky fox, in charge of the entire demon world, but why did he suddenly go crazy and issue a challenge to Jingguo? !
The human race and the demon world have not been at war for thousands of years!
"Is it just because of the demon king some time ago?" Liu Yexi was confused.
"Of course not."
Mu Yuyan shook her head slightly and said in a serious voice: "The inner disciples of the Holy Demon Palace are just the fuse. The demon world has long planned to offend me, Dajing!"
The demon world is in the west, bordering Jingguo.
Although the demon clan has strong combat power, their productivity is very low, so they have always coveted the population of the country!
Moreover, the national fortune of Jingguo is declining, and the demon world is not without smart people. They have already had suspicions, so they took this opportunity to test it out!
Liu Ye Xi'e frowned and felt a little panicked: "Then... do you want to humble yourself and go to the military headquarters to make preparations in advance?"
"I have already given the order."
"Then contact other dynasties and borrow troops to fight together?"
"No need, those profit-seeking guys are unreliable!"
Mu Yuyan waved her hands and said coldly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of a war. After all, the old fox, the Demon Emperor, is not a fool. He also wants to suppress other forces in the demon world. I will definitely not take action easily..."
The only person in the demon world whose strength is equal to that of the Empress is the Demon Emperor himself.
As long as he doesn't take action, Jingguo will not be in much danger.
Hearing what she said, Liu Yexi breathed a sigh of relief: "Then what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried... Dajing can't afford it."
There was a hint of sadness and helplessness in Mu Yuyan's tone: "The national war with the demon world is bound to be protracted, but the national destiny is already weakening day by day, and the disaster relief and food distribution were just a few days ago, by then... even if we really survive the battle with the demon world After the national war, Dajing’s heritage may have been depleted!”
Hearing this, Liu Yexi's heart tightened again!
Yes, war requires money and food. How can Dajing's current national destiny and people's livelihood be able to withstand such consumption?
It is spring again now, and it is the time when people are sowing seeds. If we collect grain at this time, all we will get are the grain seeds that need to be sown!
But once there is no food, how will the people survive next year?
Disaster!
Food is the most important thing for the people. Since ancient times, the most worrying thing for emperors has been this!
The atmosphere in the carriage is dull!
At this time.
The old groom's voice sounded: "Madam, Gu's house is here. One penny for travel expenses."
Gu Mansion...Gu Lan...
After hearing his words, Mu Yuyan subconsciously thought of her husband's name, and in her helpless melancholy, a certain heartstring seemed to be touched!
A flash of light suddenly appeared!
She suddenly thought that the last time she was in such a difficult situation was when there was a drought in the southern border two years ago?
At that time, it was Gu Lan who accidentally revealed the secret at the dinner table who helped him to overcome the difficulties!
"Xiao Xi, do you think... Gu Lang can do anything?"
Mu Yuyan's beautiful eyes flickered, her gaze fixed on the door of Gu's Mansion, and she gradually gained energy!
Liu Yexi was stunned for a moment by this reminder: "Yes, the young master is familiar with the past and the present, and is well-read... maybe he also knows a lot about this incident!"
"walk home!"
Mu Yuyan couldn't wait to talk to Gu Lan!
The current situation is extremely bad, and Gu Lan is the only person who can give her hope!
Liu Yexi jumped out of the carriage in a hurry, threw down a piece of silver under the stunned gaze of the horseman, and then followed Mu Yuyan into the Gu Mansion.
"Lao Yang, has my husband come back?"
Mu Yuyan asked in a clear voice.
"It's madam. The young master has come back a long time ago, but he is not in the study at the moment. He is in the flower field in the backyard. I don't know what he is tinkering with..."
Lao Yang said slowly and walked out from the concierge, ready to call Gu Lan to eat.
"Um...you should rest. Xiaoxi and I are going to plant the flowers we bought. Let's call him by the way."
Mu Yuyan smiled and walked lightly towards the flower field in the backyard.
