Chapter 773 Hope and Despair

"Are you going to tell Jinxia what's going on here?" Arima Keiichiro hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Mayu Yao saw his hesitation, "Is there anything wrong?"

"You didn't inform Princess Guangping before you took action. Now that our army has suffered a setback, if we report to Jinxia again, I'm worried that it might cause trouble for the other party and make them look down on us..."

Mayu sighed, "I did the coup d'état on my own, but you also went to Jinxia City with me and know the characters of His Highness Ning and Lord Xia. Compared to causing trouble, they are more pragmatic. The Seven Stars Privy Council is the enemy of Jinxia City. Now that they suddenly appear on Yama Island, if we have to conceal it for the sake of face, I'm afraid it will hurt both sides in the end. Let the news go Let's find a high point and set up the antenna. "

Keiichiro nodded, "I understand."

"In addition, I want to send a small team into Fumifu."

"Lord May, do you want to--"

"The report from the right wing army mentioned that the enemy dragged away Nai Qing and many injured soldiers. It is impossible for the Taoist priests to stay and clean up the battlefield. If Nai Qing has died, they don't need to take away the body." Mayu Yao paused, "So I guess Nai Qing may still be alive."

At that time, the battlefield was in chaos. As the commander, she was behind the central army and it was difficult for her to see the situation on the right wing. It was not until the team was withdrawn that she found that Nai Qing had not returned. According to the comprehensive oral statements of the Xuanwu troops and the soldiers on the right wing, she believed that it was not certain that Nai Qing had died at the hands of the high-level Taoist priest.

"Sir, to put it bluntly, it might be a good thing that Lady Nagi died!" Arima Keiichiro gritted his teeth and said, "If she fell into the hands of the enemy alive, all kinds of torture would be lucky. Add to that those evil soul-stealing spells, she might not be called Nagi Ao anymore!" Seeing the grief in Mayu Yao's eyes, he went on to say, "I know you can't bear to give up hope, but have you ever thought about how many people you would need to rescue her from Fumi Mansion if she didn't die? You have to send at least a team of two or three hundred people to have a chance to break through the city defense. But with so many people acting collectively, concealment cannot be guaranteed at all, and the result of doing so is likely to be the death of hundreds of people!" Keiichiro wanted to add another sentence that kindness is not good for the army, but he took it back when it came to his lips. The great witch took a huge risk to pass through the blockade of King Dongsheng to go to the mainland to seek help, and she was determined to seize power because of the brutal deeds of the queen's vassal. This was all due to her kindness. It was precisely because of this that everyone gathered around her. If Mayu was like the other lords, could he still be the commander of the army as a lowly attendant?

After a moment, Mayu Yao let out a long sigh, "You are right."

Keiichiro also relaxed.

At present, the army has just suffered a defeat and the morale is unstable. The top priority is to withdraw to the rear city to rest. If they return to Fumi Palace for one person, the cost of failure will be incalculable.

"Then send five or six people over."

He was stunned, "But sir..."

"I know, you are right, but I still can't just leave like this!" Mayu Yao raised his head and looked directly at his subordinates, "Whether she is alive or not, I want to know an answer - if I don't do this, I may not be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life!"

It is not easy for the enemy to find five or six people entering Fumi Palace separately, but they can't do anything with so few people.

"Maybe the answer will make you more painful..." Keiichiro said in a deep voice.

"That's better than letting go completely." Wu Yue's expression was extremely firm. "In addition, I also want to know the relationship between Qixing and the princes of Dongsheng, to see whether they are replacing him or colluding with him... These spies can help me get first-hand intelligence."

The latter reason made Gui Yilang make concessions.

Indeed, now that Qixing has entered the Bumi Palace, the General Staff is also very curious about the reaction of King Dongsheng and the princes of all parties.

Intelligence operations are still a blank for this newly established army composed mainly of monsters and peasants.

Wu Yue's request may be an opportunity.

He finally nodded and said, "Then let your subordinates arrange it."

...

Bumi Palace, a large courtyard prison.

Nai Qing slowly woke up from her coma. Before she opened her swollen eyes, the first thing that came into her mind was waves of severe pain.

She couldn't help but groan.

At this moment, the effect of the frenzy had long subsided. This kind of pain was simply unbearable for humans. Even as a ghost, she could hardly stay conscious.

She thought that she would not live long.

Both arms were eroded, organs were damaged in many places, and leg bones were broken. These injuries were also fatal to demons.

Perhaps only the living dead could survive.

But it was good this way... Nagi Ao looked at the ceiling dimly. As long as she died, the enemy would not be able to use her anymore. The great priestess attached too much importance to feelings. Even after seizing power, she did not persecute Queen Chiba in the slightest. If the enemy used her as a threat, she was really afraid that Mayu Haruka would make an irreversible mistake.

"Hey... that big guy seems to have woken up."

At this time, Nagi Ao suddenly heard a voice coming from not far away.

Perhaps the jailer noticed her low moan.

"To be honest, I thought she was a corpse when she was moved in." Another person muttered, "She is still alive after such a serious injury. Demons are really scary things."

"It would be terrible if she died." The former complained, "The higher-ups require her to live, otherwise I will ask, but this is something that you and I can't control. Fortunately, she is still breathing, and we will see the great monks next. When will it arrive? I hope they can move faster..."

Monk?

A bad premonition filled Xue Qing's heart.

This word has two meanings in Yama, one is a believer in Buddhism, and the other is a spiritual person who worships Buddhism - the latter is a relatively dispersed force in Yama, similar to ninjas, but is more independent in doing things, and often Talk about saving people and saving the world. Although there are indeed many Buddhist techniques that can heal people and diseases, the last thing she wants now is to continue to live.

The enemy obviously had the same idea as her.

The monk was brought to jail, most likely because he wanted to keep her calm.

Xue Qing considers himself loyal to his lord, but under the influence of various strange spells, will cannot decide everything.

She took a deep breath, shook her body, and tried to find a way to kill herself - biting her tongue could only bring pain at best, and could not achieve the goal she wanted at all. She needs a hard sharp instrument to pierce the heart or head...

But the enemy did not give her this chance.

The torture bed where she was handcuffed tied her body tightly, and even her rotten arms were pierced by iron hooks and firmly fixed to both sides of her body. The only part of her that can move is the small part of her neck.

At this time, a harsh sound of the iron door opening reached Nagi Qing's ears.

Someone walked into the dungeon.
