Text Chapter 2160: Lord Hei’s Wisdom and Power
"This is what you said. If there is danger, don't blame me for giving up.
Gao Guan, who seemed to be equally unaware, said calmly, "Could it be that His Majesty ambushed men and horses in ancient times to assassinate Niu Youde?"
No one answered. If you don't deny it, you are admitting it. Wu Qu understood and frowned.
Sima Wentian coughed dryly, "It stands to reason that we shouldn't have discovered it. The ambushes are under strict control and there is no possibility of leaking information to the outside world."
Qingzhu: "Then how do you explain that Niu Youde is now going to the ancient times? Is it possible that he will go to the ancient times to practice at this time?"
Sima Wentian hesitated and said, "Could it be that there are other things that require a temporary visit? In fact, I haven't found it yet. This may completely exist. If so... Your Majesty, are you still going to take action?"
After Qingzhu thought for a while, a ferocious expression gradually appeared on his face, "If this is really the case, this is the opportunity to break the deadlock. Kill! Once Niu Youde dies, the Southern Army will be in chaos. Let's see where the traitor goes!"
Although his main target is Tengfei for the time being, the thing he wants to solve most is to clean up the family. If his son rebels, it would be a real joke if he, as an old man, can't do anything about it.
Shangguan Qing said boldly, "What if it is really discovered?"
There was silence in the hall, and Master Qing said slowly: "Then let them retreat first, and retreat to the depths of the ancient past. The ancient past is so big that it is inconvenient to fly, and it is not easy to find them if they hide."
Everyone understood what he meant. If Niu Youde could not be eliminated and the Southern Army was in chaos, then it would not be a good idea to force Niu Youde to lead the Southern Army to the side of the Xiahou family and Qing Yuanzun. , the situation will immediately turn upside down in a chain of ways.
Wu Qu and Gao Guan remained silent about this matter, listening to the three of them discussing...
In a cave in the ancient dead land, Heitan sat high on the top. In fact, there was no sitting statue. He leaned on the stone chair and listened happily to a group of strange evil spirits in the cave. I can barely close my mouth.
A tall and thin man quickly entered the cave, walked to Hei Tan and sat down, cupping his hands and saying, "Master Hei is wise and powerful. As expected by Master Hei, the group of people appeared again and hid underground to ambush in the protective formation." ”
Heitan Gudu swallowed the spirit beads in his mouth, raised his hand to signal all the evil spirits in the cave to shut up, widened his eyes, leaned forward and asked, "Are you sure?"
The tall and thin man said: "How dare Master Hei's instructions be wrong? I personally atomized and penetrated into the ground to check, it's absolutely correct!"
Snapped! As soon as he patted the armrest of the stone chair, Heitan stood up and said loudly: "Young boys, cheer up grandpa, show me your special skills, and do it for me!"
"Master Hei is wise and mighty!" A group of evil spirits responded with high morale.
Hei Tan strode out of the cave with his hands on his hips, stood proudly towards the entrance, and waved his hand.
The group of evil spirits that followed them immediately roared away and dispersed. Some of them even took to the air to show off, chanting and dancing in the air. The evil spirits floating around, as long as they are new to spirituality and can understand the call, are drifting toward them one after another.
Not long after, large evil clouds appeared in the sky. The bodies of the evil spirits summoned in the air expanded rapidly. With a light explosion, they turned into a ball of evil energy, mixed with the evil clouds, and drove the evil clouds to drift towards the ancient exit area. .
In the vast Gobi desert, at the exit of the constantly tearing void, and in the corresponding mountains in the distance, the Guards spies hiding there closely watched the movements around the exit.
"Lao Hou, look what's going on behind the scenes."
In the opened crypt, two people were hiding, observing through the holes one after the other. The person responsible for observing from the rear suddenly called out.
The man observing the hole in front quickly turned around and walked over. He lay down in front of the hole and took a look. His face was suddenly full of suspicion. He saw colorful rolling evil clouds in the air ahead pushing towards him. The two looked at each other, a little confused, as they had never seen such movement before.
Seemingly endless colorful evil clouds spread over the mountains here, filling the hiding place of the two of them. The two of them quickly cast spells, flames burst out from their bodies, and the burning evil energy sizzled. Then they looked through the front and rear holes, and their vision was foggy. It was so vast that nothing could be seen clearly.
The overwhelming evil spirit quickly covered the entire ancient exit area, like a vast sea of fog.
In the underground protective formation, densely packed members of the Guards held spell-breaking bows. They looked up at the sky in the huge underground space. They saw the illusory protective shell of the protective formation rippling with silver light. The outside seemed to be surrounded by colorful evil spirits. .
The evil spirits are constantly eroding the protective shield, and the protective shield is consuming energy to resist the eroding evil spirits.
It is not that we have never seen erosion by evil spirits before, but we have never seen such a large-scale erosion. Such a strong evil energy almost sealed the protective cover watertight.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, the deputy commander of the Left Guard, Ximen Wuye, looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"
You look at me and I look at him. Who knows what is going on. Except for the regular cleaning up in the past, no one is permanently stationed in this ancient death place. It is estimated that no one knows what strange changes there are in the ancient place.
The first general said: "Sir, the energy consumption of the protective shield is too great. If the situation continues, the protective shield will not be able to withstand it for long."
The other general holding the star bell also said: "Sir, all the ambush points have encountered the same situation, and they are all asking for instructions on how to deal with it."
Ximen Wuye frowned. Unexpectedly, he encountered this strange thing just as he was preparing to release the troops. Could it be that Niu Youde can still drive away evil spirits? He said in a deep voice: "After receiving the news from above, Niu Youde is likely to be here soon. Let each place continue to input energy into the protective array and hold on a little longer."
The first general asked: "Are you sure it will come? If not, the energy will be wasted in this way, and the protective array will not be used. Looking at this situation, we don't know how long we will stay in it. We don't know yet. If something unexpected happens, it’s always wrong to be less prepared! And in this case, even if Niu Youde comes in, how can so many of us show up to fight?”
In the past, the armies that came to clean up ancient times were basically people drawn from various places who had practiced techniques that could resist evil spirits. However, the people who came this time did not dare to do so in such a big way, for fear of disturbing the situation.
Ximen Wuye was silent for a while, and took out the star bell to contact the top to report the situation here.
In the Niutian Palace, Miao Yi, who was sitting in the study, contacted Hei Tan and put the star bell on the table. He said happily: "You are bragging about yourself. That guy Hei Tan is very proud. He is quite powerful in ancient times." ”
In fact, this is indeed the case. Hei Tan is currently similar to the ancient earth emperor. Hei Ye's name is so resounding that no evil spirit in the entire ancient world dares to disobey him. Hei Tan's spies are everywhere, trying to hide from Hei Tan's eyes in the ancient times. It's not easy. Ximen Wuye's every move is under Miao Yi's control. The ambush is simply a joke.
However, a group of ambushes lurking at the exit is indeed troublesome. The army cannot be deployed at once when entering, and it is easy to cause huge damage. It is best to deal with it first and force the people away.
Yang Zhaoqing smiled and said: "I wonder if Master Qing dares to admit that he ambush someone to assassinate the prince, costing the lives of ten million guardsmen."
As he spoke, he took out the Star Bell, and after a while of contact, he reported: "Your Majesty, the Netherworld army has come out, and the soldiers guarding the road have been defeated!"
Miao Yi stood up with his hands on the table and sneered, "Well defeated!"
Heavenly Palace, Palace of Stars.
After hearing the anomaly reported by Shangguan Qing, Master Qing's face darkened, "The evil energy erupted in large quantities. What is going on? Even if Niu Youde discovered it, could Niu Youde be able to control the evil energy?"
Several of the confidants who had been sitting in the center taking orders recently looked thoughtful, and they all shook their heads to express that they didn't know what was going on.
"Yes!" Master Qing raised his head and signaled to Shangguan Qing, who strode out of the Star Hall.
When Lord Qing and others walked out of the hall, a golden flying dragon roared over and circled in the air. Its huge body landed outside the hall, bowing its head and obeying orders.
Shangguan Qing explained all the abnormal situations in Huanggu and asked the golden dragon, "Do you know what's going on?"
The golden dragon raised its claws and drew writing marks on the ground: I have never heard that evil spirits would not be so rampant when the dragon and phoenix clans were still in the blessed land.
After seeing the meaning of the words, several people looked at each other and understood. They knew that what the dragon said should be true. The dragon and phoenix clans were still guarding the ancient times. The ancient times were not called ancient times. The mountains and rivers were beautiful. It could be called a blessed land. How could there be a situation where evil spirits are rampant in a place like this? It’s normal that people haven’t seen it before.
But to put it this way, the detention of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes here seems like karmic retribution, and they shot themselves in the foot.
After Shangguan Qing waved his hand to reject the golden dragon, several people turned around and returned to the hall.
Wu Qu said: "This kind of thing happened at this time, and it was also when Niu Youde went to Huanggu. If it is a coincidence, it would be too far-fetched. I am afraid it is really related to Niu Youde, and the people who ambush may really Exposed!" He looked worried, worried about the safety of the Guards. If he was really targeted by Niu Youde, would he be able to escape?
Shangguan Qing and Sima Wentian looked at each other. According to the original plan, if the plan failed, they were going to find an excuse to organize another ancient eradication campaign and evacuate people at the same time. But under the current situation, what else are you going to do with the ancient eradication campaign? , isn’t it a joke? Does it make sense? Who will listen? Even if you Tiangong organizes people to go there and clean it up, Niu Youde will not let you get close.
Things were happening everywhere, and Master Qing felt anxious. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his hands for a while, and finally gave the order: "Notify people to withdraw, hide it, and then find a way to deal with it after this period has passed!"
"Yes!" Shangguan Qing responded.
Here, Sima Wentian sounded the bell and urgently reported: "Your Majesty, the Netherworld army broke out of Netherworld and had a big battle with the Southern army's garrison. The Confederate army and horses failed to stop it and were defeated!"
Everyone was stunned and thought they heard wrongly. Lord Qing asked urgently: "The Netherworld army came out of Netherworld, attacked the Confederate army, and also defeated Niu Youde's army?"
Sima Wentian: "There is no mistake. The spies who were stationed to observe near the exit witnessed it. The Confederate soldiers and horses seemed not to have expected that the Netherworld army could come out. They were caught off guard and defeated!"
Everyone looked at each other, wondering if Qingyuan Zun was crazy and had taken the wrong medicine? Who bites whomever you see? How dare you compete with Niu Youde with just a few people? Is he trying to follow Niu Youde's approach in overthrowing Hao Defang, or is there some arrangement by the Xiahou family to make him feel confident?
"Hey! It's rare to hear that the ever-victorious general Niu Youde suffered a defeat. That guy's temper is such that you can't tolerate such a loss!" Qingzhu said, but there was a knowing look on his face. Smile, such a smile has not appeared recently, Shangguan Qing pointed his finger, "Contact Niu Youde and tell him that the Guards are willing to help him!"
He really didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen. Accidents had happened frequently recently, and this time he finally found an opportunity to leverage the situation.
In the ancient underground protective array, Ximen Wuye, who had been staring at the silver light ripples of the protective shield, suddenly took out the star bell. After some communication, he said to the people around him in a deep voice: "Our ambush here may have been exposed. Niu Youde may have known it. Pass the order, the people and horses will immediately withdraw and follow my orders!"
With his order, the dense crowds of people and horses in the protective array quickly decreased and soon gathered in the storage bracelets on several people.
In the empty underground space, only Ximen Wuye and his men were left. When the protective array was retracted, several people released their flying mounts, and flames surged from their bodies to protect them together with the mounts. The mounts flapped their wings and rushed towards the surging evil spirits, burning with a sizzling sound, and passed by in a flash.
The ground rumbled, was blasted open, and collapsed. Several mounts wrapped in flames rushed out of the vast sea of evil mist and circled in the sky.
Ximen Wuye and others who were riding their mounts looked down at the endless evil clouds below and were secretly shocked.
Soon, flaming mounts rushed out from the distance one after another, flying together, and after a brief discussion, Ximen Wuye led them and quickly fled into the distance.
In the study of the Niuwang Mansion, Miao Yi was contacting Shangguan Qing.
After listening to Shangguan Qing's meaning, Miao Yi said bluntly: Cooperation? Can I believe your Majesty's words?
Shangguan Qing: Your Majesty's words are as good as gold, why can't I believe them?
Miao Yi: Bullshit! The Xiahou family told me not long ago that your Majesty had ambushed 10 million guards in the ancient wasteland and was preparing to assassinate me. How does your Majesty explain this? Explain this to me first!
Shangguan Qing quickly raised his head and relayed Miao Yi's words to Qingzhu, of course, omitting the word "bullshit".
Qingzhu and others seemed to understand something when they heard it. They were still wondering how Niu Youde could find the ambush. After all the trouble, it was the Xiahou family who made trouble. Thinking about it, the Xiahou family was really scary. They were really omnipresent. Such a secret matter was actually known by them.
