Alien Summoning System

Chapter 400 Ambition
The cultivation bases of all the immortals were greatly damaged, and they returned to the mountain to recover their vitality. Zhuo Ao made an agreement with the two saints. Zhao Gongming and others returned to Chaoge with their vitality exhausted. The war seemed to have returned to the original point. It became a game between Jiang Ziya and Wen Zhong. Yang Jian, Nezha, and Lei Zhenzi stayed in the army. Wen Zhong also had Huang Tianhua, Zhang Guifang, and the four generals of the Mo family to help him, plus one who had to stay in the Xiqi camp for the time being. Han Shizhong in the middle, the two sides basically maintain a balanced situation on the surface.

Xiqi City has been covered by a silver-white world at this moment. In such a cold season, coupled with the tense battle ahead, the streets are very deserted. Even if people appear occasionally, they are in a hurry. They can only be seen outside some teahouses and restaurants. Feel the popularity.

"Mother, why has the price of meat increased by [-]%?" At the market, Zhou Ling, also known as Daji, asked the woman whose face was flushed from the cold suspiciously.

"Hey, Ms. Zhou, you are too polite. My tiger's illness can only be cured by you. If I take your money, I will be blamed to death by my youngest son, old lady. You can take the meat." The simple and honest woman put the meat in her bag and forced it into Daji's hands.

"That's not what it means." Daji put a few copper shells in the woman's hands and said, "It's just that the price of meat is getting more and more expensive. Isn't everyone's life more difficult?"

"Who says it's not." An aunt next to him put her hands in her sleeves and sighed, "Not only the price of meat, but also the price of food. This year, because of the war, many fields have been deserted. No one is farming. The harvest is naturally not good. However, fighting still consumes food, making food more and more scarce now, how many people will starve to death this winter?"

"Are there a lot of people starving?" Daji looked suspiciously at the few vendors in the market.

"Ah~"

She was answered with a few soft sighs. Daji carried the food and walked towards King Wu's Mansion. Not long after she entered King Wu's Mansion, Ji Fa went out with the army, and the sisters naturally had no further chance.

The ordinary people who walked by occasionally greeted her with a smile, and there was a kind of respect in their kind eyes. If they were in Chaoge, they would never appear in front of people as Daji.

Daji couldn't say the reason, but the time she came to Xiqi was the most comfortable period since she entered the human society. There was no intrigue, countless intrigues, and no need to deliberately harm others.

What needs to be paid is nothing more than a heart, a very simple thing, but it can be respected by everyone, not the kind of respect for power and position, but a kind of respect from the heart. In an absolutely impossible situation, the irony is that it is the same person who caused such completely different results.

The howling cold wind carried a bone-chilling coolness and an unspeakable sense of depression. Even Daji, who rarely cared about the outside world, could feel the city and depression in this cold. She naturally knew the root cause of this depression. The reason must have something to do with the battle at the front.

Although under Zhuo Ao's warning, she would never intervene in the military affairs, but recently, both inside and outside the palace, people have been talking about this topic, as long as the ears are not deaf, it is not difficult to know these news, not to mention, she is still in charge of purchasing , the matron who often walks outside the mansion.

The battle on the front line is not going well, and they have lost one after another. This is almost the most discussed topic in Xiqi City recently.

At this moment, Daji understands why Zhuo Ao asked her to collect information, but didn't let her do some spy work, but let her continue to establish her own image.

Here, her name is Zhou Ling, and she is no longer the demon concubine of the cholera world, but the embodiment of compassion and kindness in the hearts of the common people. Many times, there is no need to ask, and many people will dump everything like beans in a bamboo tube. The information was sent to her, and even Ji Fa's willing companion, the princess, would pull her to her side from time to time to discuss some issues in this regard.

Zhuo Ao seldom asks her to do other things except for some topics of how to establish an image, and treats her and Xi Mei almost in a state of stocking, if he hadn't come here not long ago to inject a human emperor's aura into them to help them hide their evil aura , Daji almost thought that Zhuo Ao had given up on her.

In this city of Xiqi, she knew that there must be people arranged by Zhuo Ao, maybe those people who greeted her with kind faces, maybe a certain guard, or even a certain official, but Daji didn't know any of them at all. What is the real identity of Zhuo Ao, at least, in this regard, Zhuo Ao is on guard against her, which makes her feel a little unhappy.

Thinking about the messy things, he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.

One of the guards took the initiative to step forward, took the bag from her hand, and said with a smile, "Girl went to the street today, did you meet Mrs. Xin who sells water spinach?"

A very ordinary question made Daji's heart beat a little faster involuntarily. This was the secret code that Zhuo Ao had agreed with her at the beginning. One day, when someone asked such a sentence, it would mean Zhuo Ao gave Her mission has arrived.

Daji carefully looked at the person in front of him, he was not a brilliant character, except that his armor gave him a bit of heroism, he definitely belonged to the kind that could not be recognized when he was thrown into the crowd, so Daji had to admire Zhuo Ao in the crowd From the perspective of selection, such a person is indeed very suitable for the undercover job.

At the same time, Daji also secretly felt that Zhuo Ao had unknowingly spread his tentacles here.

"Aunt Xin didn't meet her, but she met Aunt Qi. She said that there was a heart in her water spinach. It's really funny. How could the water spinach have a heart?" Daji replied calmly.

"Oh." A look of disappointment flashed in the eyes of the commander of the guards, and suddenly thought of something, he took out a few copper shells from his arms, carefully wrapped them in a piece of animal skin and handed them to her: "Miss Zhou, you often go to the market Walking around, I wonder if the next time I meet Aunt Xin, can I hand over the money to her?"

"No problem." Daji took the copper shell wrapped in animal skin with a smile, nodded in agreement, and walked into the palace as if nothing had happened, and the bag was sent to the kitchen by the commander of the guards.

After explaining to the concubine, Daji went around the mansion again before returning to her and Ximei's room. Ximei was meditating and practicing Qi, and when Daji came back, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Sister, is it true that you don't look too good?" Xi Mei looked at Daji suspiciously and asked with concern.

Daji didn't speak, but took out a package of animal skin from her bosom, shook out the copper shell in it, and spread out the animal skin on the table.

"This is...he..." Xi Mei looked at the words on the animal skin, her complexion changed, she looked at Daji and said.

Daji made a silent gesture, and looked at the writing on the animal skin.

Open warehouses to release grain?
"What do you mean?" Xi Mei looked at the four large characters on the animal skin. Besides, she searched through the animal skins and found nothing else, so she couldn't help but wondered: "Opening the warehouse to release grain is not to help Ji Fa increase the number of people. Hope? Is he out of his mind?"

"It's not that simple." Shaking her head, Daji already understood some of Zhuo Ao's thoughts, and said with a frown, "This year's harvest is not good, and the price of grain in the city has already started to rise. If the grain warehouses are opened at this moment, the frontline troops will have no food to use. .”

"This stupid gentleman is still so insidious! He never dared to fight others head-on, and then played these tricks behind his back." Xi Mei curled her lips and said with a displeased expression.

"You, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, it's called Taolue." Daji nodded her brows and smiled.

"Sister, I found out that since you left Chaoge, you like to speak for him. Could it be that you are genuinely moved?" Ximei looked at Daji in disbelief and said.

"I'm just discussing the matter. I asked you to read more books on weekdays, but you didn't listen." Daji slapped her with a smile, shook her head and laughed, but Zhuo Ao's figure flashed unconsciously in her heart.

"Who wants to read those." Xi Mei curled her lips and said.

"This matter requires a long-term discussion." Daji looked at the animal skin in her hand, frowned slightly and said, "His ultimate goal should be to stir up a civil uprising."

During this period of time in Xiqi, she has fully realized the potential energy of the people's hearts. Zhuo Ao obviously hopes that through this matter, Xiqi's internal conflicts will be triggered, and the name of Wu Wang Jifa's benevolence and righteousness will be broken. If this step is really achieved , The damage to Ji Fa is even greater than directly breaking through Xiqi City, this is to destroy Ji Fa from the root.

"Sister, do you really want to help him?" Xi Mei asked in surprise.

"The reason, I have already told you, helping him is helping ourselves, and now we have gone against the will of Nuwa Empress, if we don't even have this only ally, we will have no way out, don't you Do you think that we can live here for the rest of our lives?" Daji rolled her eyes, glared at Ximei and said.

At the same time, Chaoge was in Zhuo Ao's study.

"Your Majesty is really going to use this woman to pry Ji Fa's foundation?" Zhuge Liang sat opposite Zhuo Ao, shaking the feather fan in his hand.

"If she can't do it, someone will help her." Zhuo Ao dropped a chess piece on the chessboard and said with a smile: "That only proves that she is not qualified to cooperate with us, and she will naturally become an abandoned piece !"

"If it can be done well, it will prove that she still has the value of existence." Under Zhuge Liang's stunned eyes, this chess piece seemed to be thrown on the chessboard by Zhuo Ao as an abandoned piece, but it was faintly connected to Zhuo Ao's chess path. The scattered situation, because this seemingly abandoned sunspot is connected together, there is a tendency to turn defeat into victory.

"Little Xiqi, why bother so much?" Zhuge Liang made a puzzled move. Now that Zhao Yun has captured Chongcheng, most of the [-] princes in the northern towns have surrendered. The general situation is like this game of chess, which was reversed by Zhuo Ao. Xiqi's defeat is only a matter of time, and it is somewhat superfluous to take advantage of such a sacrifice.

"Xiqi?" Zhuo Ao sneered: "I have never put it in my eyes, but... this is just the beginning!"
