Chapter 598 The Building is About to Collapse [Please give me a monthly ticket! ]
The morning sun shone on the Qinzheng Hall. Emperor Huairen sat on a chair with his eyes closed and his breathing even.
The palace attendant who had just taken over the duty opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something surprising. "Your Majesty spent the night in the Qinzheng Palace? Could it be that he was busy with state affairs and had no time to sleep?"
"Yes." The palace servant who was about to leave yawned, "There is a big battle at Tianxia Pass, which may determine the final outcome of this battle. Your Majesty is worried, so he wants to wait for the result here."
"Your Majesty was so worried about the setbacks on the front line two days ago that he could only eat twelve buns for one meal. If we lose this battle again, I can't imagine how thin Your Majesty will become."
"Pah, pah, pah, what do you mean by losing? Your Majesty has not even read books in the past two days, and all the uncles of the royal generation have disappeared. He has not even eaten vegetables, for fear of affecting the overall situation of this battle. Why are you still talking without restraint?"
"I deserve to die. I was careless. Your Majesty is willing to sacrifice himself to such an extent for the country and the people. You are truly a wise and holy ruler."
"Isn't it? Now everyone in the court is saying that the Right Prime Minister is arbitrary in state affairs, and that our Majesty is not paying attention to the Yin Kingdom. God and heaven are clear, can't they see that your Majesty has made so many efforts?"
"..."
The two palace servants' quiet chirping was interrupted by a burst of hurried footsteps. Another young eunuch came quickly from the direction of the gate with a memorial in his hand, shouting, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Report on the battle at Tianxia Pass!"
"Hmm?" Emperor Huairen suddenly woke up, "What should I dip the shrimp paste in? Ah, the battle report? Bring it here so I can see it!"
The little fat man shook his face excitedly, his chubby cheeks trembled a few times, and then he came to his senses and hurriedly opened the report on the table. The thick battle report contained a lot of content. After a glance at it, his eyes burst into excitement.
"Liang Xianguan retrieved the key spiritual plant, the Blood Refining Grass, and refined an elixir to suppress the blood curse, catching the Yang people off guard... As expected of Liang Yue, this is awesome!"
"Bashan Hou made a plan to ambush the Yang army, oh."
"Liang Xianguan instigated the Nine-Martial Demon Cultivator to rebel and revealed the location of the altar... Liang Yue is really amazing."
"Qi Lianghai led his troops to provide support overnight...quite quickly."
"Liang Xianguan killed the chief priest of Huanshen Peak... Wow! Yin Kingdom really can't do without him!"
"The chief elder of the Fire Snake tribe killed the leader of the coalition forces and surrendered, hmm."
"..."
"The Jiuyang army has been completely annihilated. Does General Qi want to lead his army to capture Huanshen Peak in one go and completely destroy the enemy chieftain?" Emperor Huairen saw that there was a question about him at the end of the battle report. He thought for a while and then said, "Send the battle report to Xiangguomen to ask whether this is appropriate or not."
The palace servant hurried away with the battle report, and Emperor Huairen finally showed a comfortable smile on his face, "I knew that with Liang Yue there, we would definitely win. Come on, I'm very happy today, and I'll order the imperial kitchen to make some more..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered something and his face turned gloomy. "Even if we win, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed outside Tianxia Pass before this battle, and countless casualties before and after this battle... With the soldiers of Yin Kingdom like this, what should I be happy about?"
After sighing, he waved his hand and said, "Let the imperial kitchen make a dozen buns at will. They must be made with meat, not raw."
After thinking about the victory news, he happily picked up a book at hand and was about to read it, but he seemed to remember something and put it back. He picked up a picture album from the side and read it with relish.
……
"The formations set up by the high priests of Huanshen Peak were broken one by one by Yin State. Jiuyang's army was no match for Yin State in the first place, and now it has reached the end of its rope."
"This time, the Yin army will not stop at Shuangbei City. It looks like they will go straight to Huanshen Peak. If Huanshen Peak is gone, the various tribes of Jiuyang will have no common faith and will not be able to unite together. They will be in complete chaos, which is exactly what Yin State wants to see."
"After destroying Huanshen Peak, whether they will continue to occupy Jiuyang Territory is still unknown."
"..."
In the dark green valley, Princess Yushi, dressed in white, stood in front of the forest and spoke many words in a gentle tone.
Although she sent the troops of the Wood Wolf and Blue Dragon tribes to the front line that day, she did not follow them into battle to kill the enemy. Instead, she waited in the tent with Xiao Ting and the others, and thus escaped the disaster.
After the defeat at the front line, the small group of Yang troops left behind in the camp escorted these important figures and fled quickly, thus avoiding them from falling into the hands of the Yin people.
Princess Yushi came here as soon as possible. In the woods in front of her, there was a man as tall as a mountain, wearing a white robe, sitting on a stone table in the woods.
Princess Yushi continued, "If Lord Martial God still refuses to take action, then Jiuyang will destroy the country."
It turned out that the person she was looking for was the Nine-Riding Martial God Kuo Muye!
"If Yin Country wants to occupy Jiuyang's territory, I will definitely stop it." Kuo Muye still had no expression on his face. "When Huanshen Peak came to me to ask me to leave the mountain, I said that I had promised them that I would not help them invade Yin Country. They insisted on their own way, which led to the disaster today. I believe that the people of Yin Country dare not occupy Yang's land."
Princess Yushi was silent for a moment.
Although Kuo Muye practiced in the mountains and forests, he had a clear understanding of the affairs of the world and what he said was true.
The Yin army didn't want to occupy Jiuyang's land at all. They had the beautiful mountains and rivers of Jiuzhou, so why would they take your shitty land? Even if they occupied the grassland of the Wood Wolf Tribe, it was to prevent the Yang people from going south too easily in the future.
Even the grassland that the Wood Wolf Tribe treasured was nothing more than a wasteland with no development value in the eyes of the Yin people, and no construction had been carried out in more than 20 years.
It was not so much that she came here to ask Kuo Muye to save Jiuyang, but rather to ask Kuo Muye to save Huanshen Peak.
Because Yin's army had a very clear goal, they killed or wounded half of Jiuyang's new forces at Tianxia Pass and captured the other half. After that, they did not even take a rest and rushed straight to Huanshen Peak.
The declaration of war they sent to the various tribes of Jiuyang stated that it was Huanshen Peak that provoked the war and harmed the people of both countries, so this time they wanted to flatten Huanshen Peak.
The Huanshen Peak has existed for more than ten thousand years, and has been the totem of the Nine Yang for thousands of years. It is considered the common belief of the Nine Yang. Of course, the tribes do not want the Huanshen Peak to disappear, but they are powerless.
Now no one can stop the iron hoof of Yin’s army.
Except for Kuo Mu Ye.
“Illusionary God Peak?” Kuo Muye frowned slightly, his face hardened. “If they are destroyed this time, it will be their own fault. Don’t worry, if the current Illusionary God Peak is destroyed, I will build a new one.”
"Ah?" Princess Yu Shi's eyes trembled.
It turns out that this was what Kuo Muye had in mind.
The conflict between this Jiuyang Martial God and Huanshen Peak has actually reached such a point.
Then it would be unwise to ask him for help myself.
Princess Yushi did not say much, but nodded slightly, "As long as Yin Kingdom occupies Yangtu, Lord Wushen will take action. I believe that with your deterrence, they dare not act recklessly."
After saluting, she turned and left.
"Wait." Kuo Muye glanced at the jade box on the table, "I didn't do anything for you, just take your gift."
"That was not prepared by me. It was entrusted to me by the Heavenly Priest to be given to Lord Martial God. He said before that after seeing this item, you might change your mind and be willing to help Jiuyang." Princess Yu Shi said lightly, and then walked away again.
There was a hint of curiosity in Kuo Muye's eyes as he looked at the jade box.
He reached out to touch the jade box. Although it was completely sealed without a lid, it certainly couldn't stop the God of War. With a flick of his right hand, he opened the top of the jade box.
Bang.
Immediately afterwards, Kuo Muye's shoulders trembled suddenly, and his gaze fixed straight on, as if he had been hit by something, and his eyes were momentarily unfocused.
There was no wind around, but a vortex suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
In that jade box, there lay quietly a transparent lotus, crystal clear, with spirituality surging like the sea...
