The ghost king and princess of Feng Qingtian

Chapter 276
Zeyu God of War Mo Lingyu was defeated, and the defeat was very miserable. More than 30 troops entered the city, but only less than a thousand survived. The others died, or were burned to death, or smoked to death. They lost their lives in a day, and they suffered more casualties than fighting on the battlefield.

The news spread back to Zeyu, and Zeyu country was wailing. Mo Lingyu took four 10,000+ people to the expedition. Why did he disappear overnight? The spearhead was pointed at Mo Lingyu.Aren't you the God of War? How could you be no match for Lord Cao? Didn't you fight so hard that Lord Cao didn't dare to fight at the beginning, and Mo Yun couldn't even raise his head? Such a disastrous defeat under the hands of Lord Cao, there is something wrong no matter how you think about it, it is not that the enemy is strong and cunning, but that you don't want Yu to act arrogantly and make mistakes in command.

So when he returned to Zeyu and wanted to lead the army back to [-]% again, General Mo not only failed to fulfill his wish, but was directly sent to prison by the king of Zeyu. The Mo family, who had to endure three points, fell overnight and became the target of public criticism.

Is Mo Yunjun happy to have won such a victory?No, the whole city was burned for three days and three nights, and a city was destroyed like this, and the homes of hundreds of thousands of people were reduced to ashes overnight.Although there were no casualties among the people, and the loss of Mo Yun's army was not too great, but the loss of a city was not what everyone wanted to see.In the same way, 30 Ze Yujun died, after all, it was more than 30 lives, which is really not happy.

In Kecheng, Master Cao was sitting in the military tent, looking at the commendation order issued by Emperor Qianzong and frowned. Although he won the battle, he couldn't cheer up. It makes people feel disrespectful.Looking at the group of generals who were sitting first, there was a particularly prominent figure who was actually Daoist Tianshu.

The old Taoist looked at everyone's expressions, coughed and said: "This time, the old Taoist made this trip specially, and he also got the instructions of the ghost king. The ghost king let me see how you look. If you are too happy, you can scold me a little. Human nature, if the morale is not high, I will scold you a few words about the benevolence of women, but this Daoist priest never utters evil words, as long as he understands the meaning, it will be saved."

Hu Lewen smiled and said, "I didn't expect the Taoist priest to be entrusted by the ghost king. Does the ghost king have other instructions?"

The old Taoist nodded and said: "Of course there are. The ghost king said that she was the one who came up with the idea of ​​burning the whole city. She felt uncomfortable after so many people died. She asked me to cremate all the corpses of these people and bring the ashes with me." Go to Zeyu territory to find a place with good geomantic omen and bury them, and then do a ritual to save their dead souls, so that they can reincarnate as soon as possible. The war between Zeyu and Moyun is only because of state affairs, and there is no personal enmity. No matter what happens on the battlefield, you will live and die , but when a person dies, he will go to the ground and live in peace, doing his part in morality."

The ancients were superstitious, and they were especially in awe of ghosts and gods. The number of deaths in this battle was too many, it was too tragic, and it was against the peace of heaven. Although the two countries were at war, people still felt a little guilty. Yun Yuhong knew it, so he wrote it specially. He sent a letter to someone to take back to the capital, so the old Taoist came here on purpose.

Although Yun Yuhong didn't think that the old Taoist Tianshu really had any abilities, but his great name was admired and convinced by the people all over the world. With him as a leader, people would definitely feel at ease.And Yun Yuhong's move was really right. After listening to the old Taoist's words, everyone's spirits were lifted. Wang Wu immediately said: "This is a great thing. Daoist, you have superb skills. Those Zeyu soldiers who died in vain won you!" Chao Du, I will be reborn into a good family. Tell me, what should I do about this matter, I, Wang Wu, will help you!"

The old man said with a smile: "Okay, I can rest assured with General Wang Wu's words. I don't know what Cao Hou wants?"

Master Cao laughed and said, "It's so good, let's let the priest arrange the matter of salvation."

The old Taoist nodded in agreement, and then continued: "There is one more thing that Marquis Cao has to prepare for. Zhang Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry will bring people here in two days. The ghost king said that it is imperative to burn the city. If you don't burn the city Once Zeyu's army rushes into the territory of Moyun, it will be a catastrophe, and I don't know how many people will die. But we can rebuild it after burning it, better and stronger. So, he asked Zhang Shangshu to come over to plan, As long as Lord Cao takes down the city of Zeyu, Jingcheng, and protects the city from suffering from the chaos of war, the rebuilding of the city can begin."

Master Cao stood up after hearing this, and laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, since the ghost king has already arranged for this, if I can't take down Jingcheng, I will be sorry for the importance of the ghost king and the people of the whole city." I'm looking forward to it, and the order will go on, the army will rest for three days, and after three days, we will attack Jingcheng."

Yun Yuhong was on the way when she heard the news that Jucheng had been burnt to ruins. She was worried that Lord Cao could not defeat Mo Lingyu, so she made a special trip all the way, and because she was worried about Ruifeng's situation, she had to return as soon as possible.In order to avoid the instability of the army, she came out this time secretly, so if she went back late, she might be discovered.

Traveling back and forth thousands of miles, no matter how fast Yun Yuhong's footsteps are, it will take more than ten days, and during these ten days, Bai Ziyu endured very hard. At the beginning, he stopped him in the hospital on the grounds that the ghost king was unwell and needed to rest for a few days. But after a long time, the generals became suspicious, especially two days ago, Ruifeng's general Zhou Bin led 40 troops to the city of Gui, and everyone wanted to see the ghost king even more eagerly.

At some point, the ghost king was seriously injured and unconscious. The ghost king felt that the army had little chance of winning if he went so deep into Ruifeng's country and had no supplements. Rumors that he escaped first spread in the army. Walking around in front of him, he signaled to everyone that he and the prince are here, and the ghost king would not abandon them if he wanted to escape, so the news of the ghost king's escape was self-defeating, but the news of the ghost king's critical illness spread even more widely.

But on this day, the guard at the gate came to report to Bai Ziyu. A girl said that it was Queen Yu who came to ask to see her. Bai Ziyu was very surprised and brought someone to meet him in the hall.

The girl who came in was less than 20 years old, she was bright and attractive, and she was very beautiful. She bowed to everyone in the hall and introduced herself: "Master Bai, I am Queen Yu, Duanmu Mingya. The ghost king is talking about a business."

Bai Ziyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "I don't know what kind of business it is, please tell me."

Duanmu Mingya said: "Master Xiang, I'm here to talk to the King of Ghosts, I'm afraid it's not easy for the Prime Minister to decide."

"It's just that it's hard to make decisions, not that you can't make decisions, which means that you don't have to bother the ghost king to come see you in person." Bai Ziyu felt a little unhappy, Hong'er was not here, and now he hated someone saying that he wanted to see Hong'er.

Duanmu Mingya didn't expect Bai Ziyu to be so angry, she glanced at Bai Ziyu in surprise, thought for a while and said, "Maybe Xiangye doesn't know, this Guicheng was remodeled by my father and uncle, it can be said It is very strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but few people know that when my father wanted to use this city as a stronghold for raising troops, how could he only defend but not attack? Miao Si, arranged a kind of formation, advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, very subtle."

This is a new way of saying it, and everyone else became interested. The First Prince shouted: "A formation, another formation, come and hear me, is this formation still alive, and how to use it."

The little prince said: "Brother, you have such a beautiful idea. This...Miss Duanmu is going to use this formation to negotiate business. How could she tell you so easily?" Even though he said so, the prince still looked at him with great interest. Duanmu Mingya.

Duanmu Mingya looked at Bai Ziyu, Bai Ziyu thought for a while and said: "This business can be done, tell me, what do you want to get!"

Duanmu Mingya looked at Bai Ziyu's blushing face and said: "Actually, I had a relationship with Lord Bai in the early years, maybe Lord Bai didn't remember it. At that time, my father was dead, and I fled with my mother When I arrived in Moyun territory, I was bullied by a bully that day, and it was Master Xiang who passed by and rescued me."

Bai Ziyu was stunned, thinking about it carefully, it seems that such a thing happened, but it has been a long time, and he didn't take it to heart at the time, so I really don't remember clearly, was she the one who helped at that time?

The little prince's heart was full of alarm bells. The elder sister had only left for a few days, and such a big rotten peach blossom came to her door. No, as the most beloved prince of the emperor, he can't just ignore it. He must help Sister Huang watch over her brother-in-law.

"I understand. You feel that you owe my brother-in-law a great kindness, and you feel uncomfortable if you don't pay it back, so when your brother-in-law came to Guicheng, you deliberately offered this formation to repay the kindness, right? But in order to make you feel more comfortable, we are also interested in this formation, so we reluctantly accept it." The prince interjected.

The people in the room almost burst out laughing, this prince is also a ghost, he can't speak out what Duanmu Mingya said, it's really pitiful to see the girl's face turn red and white with anger.Fortunately, the ghost king is not here, otherwise it would be really exciting to watch.

After a while of silence in the hall, Duanmu Mingya regained her composure, and said with a dry smile: "The prince is really good at joking." After she calmed down, she continued: "I want to repay the kindness of Xiangye, but it's not in the form of The formation map is here to report, this formation map is very precious, it is related to the life of my family and the rest of my life, so...so, I still want to use it to talk to the ghost king."

Lord Jiang Hou pulled Bai Ziyu, and said to Duanmu Mingya: "Since you must talk to the ghost king, then wait for two days. The ghost king is not feeling well and is recuperating. It will take two days to recover. I'm afraid the city will not be peaceful. You might as well stay here."

Lord Jiang is concerned about the formation map in Duanmu Mingya's hands. Now that the situation is serious and a war is about to break out, getting a copy of the formation map will reduce the number of casualties, so he wants to hold Duanmu Mingya steady and slowly Picture it.
