Chapter 301 Knowing one’s heart
The little demon sneaked over the high slope, lay down on the back of the slope and looked back at his own camp. The lights were bright and the city was noisy. He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The most dangerous beginning is over. As long as the letter can be safely delivered to Hongya Cave, he can come back and recover.
The messenger's errand really made the demon fearful.
The little demon was just about to set off again when he suddenly found three shadows under him reflected on his side through the moonlight.
"."
It turned around cautiously and found three young men blocking it with weird expressions on their faces.
These three people are now popular figures in the eyes of Demon King Kuihu. How can the little demon not recognize them as the three newly appointed military advisors?
It lay tremblingly and at a loss, and the trembling on its body betrayed the fear in its heart.
"Brother, what is this guy doing out here alone in the middle of the night?"
"How do I know? Maybe you want to go wild outside the camp because you have an urgent need to urinate?"
"This is the first time I heard that "Saye" means this."
"That's not good. We don't need to eat, drink, and have sex, but these low-level monsters still need it."
"But I seem to remember that there were rules in the military camp, and there were complete prohibitions on going out of the camp at night, right?"
"Well, there seems to be such a thing."
The three of them stared at the little demon with an inexplicable meaning.
Xiaoyao feels like crying in his heart. You all know there is a curfew. Why did you come out privately?
It's a pity that it can't speak, and the three brothers don't know what it's thinking. Even if they knew, they would probably sneer at it.
Can we be like you?
If it weren't for entering Hongya Cave, who would be willing to hang out with this bunch of monsters?
"Why don't we just search for souls? It's just a pawn anyway. If he dies, he will die."
Young Master Jiuyou's demonic nature was revealed inadvertently, and he regarded human lives as nothing, which was commonplace for him, let alone demon lives.
Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu both objected, not because they pitied the little demon, but because soul searching is a one-time thing and will cause great damage to memory.
When Young Master Jiuyou searched his soul, he got some memory fragments, but Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu couldn't get anything. The three brothers were used to holding back, so naturally they couldn't let the brothers eat alone.
The three finally decided to torture him. The little demon could barely understand the human language, but after being tortured for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore and had to hand over Mr. Yao's letter.
The three of them opened the letter and read it under the moonlight.
【Yuanlu Demon King personally announces】
[Thank you very much for your concern. I wonder how the Demon King is doing lately.]
[Yongkuan coincides with the darkest moment of the demon's life. He was humiliated and wronged, lying injured on the table, unable to have a drink with the demon king.]
[Now that I hear the King’s words of enlightenment, my heart will be broadened, my grudges will disappear immediately, and if a demon born can meet a close friend, he will have no regrets even if he dies.]
[Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind invitation. Although Demon King Rankuihu is unkind, I cannot be unjust, so let’s not mention this matter for the time being.]
[If there is a good time in the future, I would like to have a drink with the king under the moon, play chess and discuss formations, which will be a great pleasure for the demon.]
[Wish to be able to kneel down and talk about his life]
【狋kuan.Yours sincerely】
"."
Three brothers, you look at me and I look at you. I was stunned for a moment and didn’t know what to say.
This news is so exciting!
Mr. Yan actually had an affair with Demon King Yuanlu?
It seems that they have become close friends!
They were originally worried about not being able to move Mr. Nong, but this opportunity was directly thrown at them? !
Lin Shan and Young Master Jiuyou couldn't help but look at Zhong Shenxiu. Is this the terror of those born with great luck?
Zhong Shenxiu touched his nose, not surprised.
After spending so many days with him, the two of them got used to it and no longer bothered about it. After all, although luck is an illusory thing, it is widely circulated in the world of cultivation and belongs to the most unpredictable category.
Luck, bad luck, cause and effect, good fortune, chaos. These messy things have always been things that only the top experts in the upper world are qualified to study. With their current cultivation level, they have no way to start and can only passively accept it.
But having said that, this old man is quite loyal. Today, despite being so eliminated by Demon King Kuihu and being so appreciated by Demon King Yuanlu, he still refuses to betray him. This is really a very loyal minister!
Zhong Shenxiu couldn't bear it: "Big brother and second brother, I don't think so. It's rare for the demon clan to have such a loyal person, so why not let it live!"
Young Master Jiuyou sneered sinisterly: "Third brother, you Confucianists are just hypocritical. You have read too many books about hypocritical saints and sages, and have you really brainwashed yourself?"
Zhong Shenxiu looked slightly angry:
"Brother, what are you talking about! Although our Confucian sect is just a painting, we also admire those people with integrity. Mr. Yan is certainly a stumbling block for us, but these monsters failed to die in battle and were shrouded in horse leather. Instead, they were trapped in prison. It will be infamy for thousands of years, really.”
Young Master Jiuyou turned around lazily:
"It's up to you. If you don't want to enter Hongya Cave and are willing to follow Demon King Kuihu here, I won't make it difficult for you."
Zhong Shenxiu looked at Lin Shan with a troubled expression.
"Second brother, what do you think?"
Lin Shan turned his back at this time and stared quietly at the dark Hongya Cave on the other side, with only a few sparks remaining, as motionless as a sculpture.
After a long time, an unhurried voice came.
"Third brother, although Mr. Yan is a monster, I am also touched by his daring loyalty. If it no longer hinders me in the future, I will naturally be too lazy to touch it. After all, it is better to do less than to do more."
"But."
Lin Shan turned around and faced his own camp, his face illuminated by the firelight, like the rising sun, with an unshakable will.
"If Mr. Yan still opposes us at every turn and dares to block our plan to enter Hongya Cave, then I will not hold back!"
"If you don't care for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. If you sympathize with others, you will only embarrass yourself!"
"How much effort, how much cost, and how much risk have we taken along the way have we reached this point?"
"Seeing that we are only one step away from our goal, how can we abandon all our previous efforts and return home just because of a woman's kindness!"
"The road to immortality is difficult. If you don't fight for a while, why fight for a lifetime?!"
"Mr. Yan, it's just an insignificant little scenery on the road to immortality for our brothers. You take one step back today, two steps back tomorrow, and three steps back the day after tomorrow. If you retreat to the end, you will be doomed!"
"I will not offend anyone unless they offend me. If someone blocks me, I will pull them out!"
"Okay!"
Young Master Jiuyou laughed heartily beside him, with uncontrollable admiration on his face. In the eyes of this Young Master of Demonic Dao, although Lin Shan's outlook on life was not as radical as his, it was still quite appetizing.
A man is born in heaven and earth, how can he be bound by some rules and regulations?
In Confucianism, what the great Confucians say must be listened to and regarded as truth?
What kind of bullshit logic is this? Our monks go against the will of heaven, seize the day and night, are either friends or enemies, and feel free to distinguish between grudges and grudges. This is true open-mindedness!
Zhong Shenxiu struggled a little before leaning down and bowing:
"Thank you, second brother, for your advice. I understand!"
Lin Shan nodded, reached out and put Mr. Ao's handwritten letter into his pocket, keeping it for emergencies.
As for whether or not to use it, and when to use it, it depends on whether Mr. Ao knows what he is interested in
The little demon next to him was knocked unconscious, and the memory of meeting the three of them tonight was wiped out.
Young Master Jiuyou took the initiative to use the magic sect's secret method, which is similar to hypnotic implantation. He simply made up a hazy hallucination for the little demon that he had been to Hongya Cave and successfully handed over the letter. It seemed true but not true, and seemed false but not false.
When the demon woke up, he found that the letter was missing. Combined with the vague memories in his mind, he had no choice but to go back and report back to Mr. Yao instead of alerting the snake. Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu were very envious of Young Master Jiuyou's methods and quickly asked about the secret.
Young Master Jiuyou smiled slightly and spoke vaguely:
"It's just a side skill, not worth mentioning. The false memories created by hypnosis can only be retained for half a year at most, and are just for temporary emergencies."
"Half a year!"
Lin Shan knew that this must be a secret that was not passed down by the sect. After all, his magic weapon, the Golden Golden Lock, was just an instant illusion and had no ability to last for such a long time. This showed the depth of Young Master Jiuyou's background.
The three of them hid the little monster and returned to the camp.
After three days, the banquet ended.
The three armies were well fed and well-fed, and their momentum was like a rainbow. They were all waiting for orders and were full of energy.
In the king's tent, all the generals gathered together again.
Demon King Kuihu felt everyone's new appearance and nodded with satisfaction.
"Today, the king of Japan raised his account specifically to discuss the next step. I wonder what you can teach me?"
The demons on both sides below looked at their noses with their eyes, and their noses looked at their hearts. They were silent, sitting quietly and listening.
Anyway, they are all cowards and don't have any ideas. In the past, it was Mr. Yao and Demon King Kuihu who discussed it. They are responsible for following orders. We can fight wherever the boss tells us.
But this time, it was Zhong Shenxiu who took the lead.
Among the three brothers, he has always been the most positive one.
"Your Majesty, our army has just won a great victory. It is the time when the soldiers are working hard and working together. I suggest that we take advantage of the situation and go straight to Huanglong, break through the Hongya Cave and capture the Yuanlu Demon King alive!"
Lin Shan stepped out: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"
Young Master Jiuyou: "Wei Chen seconded the proposal!"
The eyes of all the demon generals were bright and they were gearing up, and they couldn't help but want to have a big fight.
Demon King Kuihu nodded frequently. He couldn't wait for this moment. At this time, his blood was boiling and he wanted to agree to send troops.
But the next moment, a discordant voice sounded.
"No!"
The demons turned their heads and looked down.
Mr. Nong walked out of the queue limping with a cane.
Because it was dismissed from the position of military advisor, the cave master's military power was also taken back, and he was demoted to the rank of military counselor, so he could only stand at the bottom according to the ranking.
At this moment, its face was flushed with anxiety, because the movement was too hasty, and the wounds on its body were pulled, and its teeth and mouth were cracked in pain.
"Your Majesty, you must not listen to the slanderous words of these three people. It is not appropriate to attack at this time. We need to consider the long term!"
Demon King Kuihu looked puzzled.
"Why is this? The Yuanlu Nasi was clearly defeated three days ago and fled back to its lair with only a handful of troops left. It was the time when its defense was at its weakest. If we don't advance now, when will we wait?"
"No!"
Mr. Nong walked to the map with difficulty on crutches.
"Yuanlu Demon King has collected the scattered defeated troops in the past few days, and he has been able to restore at least 30% of the health of the organization. With the original troops left behind in Hongya Cave, even if they are just old, weak, sick and disabled, I am afraid that they can still withstand over 10,000 .”
"And directly behind the king, in the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area, there are a total of ten thousand elites. The two places are competing against each other."
"If the king raises his troops to attack Hongya Cave with all his strength, and when the attack fails for a long time, the rear catches fire, and Yuanlu Demon King takes advantage of the situation to attack from two sides, wouldn't it be like repeating the mistakes of Jingqilin in the past!"
"Hiss, this"
Demon King Kuihu suddenly woke up, his whole body was so alert that he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Mr. Yan pointed at Lin Shan and the three of them, with stern expressions and angry eyes.
"The three of you are in vain as military advisors. You only want to urge the king to march as soon as possible, but you completely ignore the consequences. You can't even see this. How can you be a think tank?"
Lin Shan and the others were expressionless, but their hearts were filled with hatred.
Can't they see this? joke!
How is it possible?
However, what can they do? Their goal is to enter Hongya Cave as soon as possible, not to waste time here.
Demon King Kuihu quickly asked Mr. Ji Yu:
"Then between you, what should I do next?"
Mr. Yan did not hesitate to express his consistent style.
"Your Majesty, you should return to the army immediately. First, steadily pull out the nail in the Xuanwu Rejection Corpse Pit, so that Demon King Yuanlu loses his ability to respond. Then Hongya Cave can slowly take action."
When Demon King Kuihu heard this, he wanted to fight steadily and slowly, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable.
The generals had just won a battle and were a little tired of the slow and slow fighting style before.
Lin Shan came out at this time: "Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."
Demon King Kuihu raised his hand: "Commander Lin, please speak!"
Lin Shan began to elaborate from multiple angles.
"First of all, the place where Xuanwu refuses corpses is a special mountainous and dangerous place. There are multiple matching grandmaster-level formations used to ambush the king. There are also 10,000 elites under the command of Yuanlu Demon King, who are heavily guarded. It is a difficult place to chew. bones.”
"Although there are tens of thousands of enemy soldiers here in Hongyadong, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is no need to worry about them. In comparison, it is obviously easier to break through here."
"Secondly, if we return to our division and there is no threat to our lair here, Demon King Yuanlu will definitely be able to safely enter the Xuanwu Corpse Resistance Land again, and then there will be another long stalemate."
"In the end, as time goes by, while the Yuanlu Demon King's cultivation continues to grow, he can also continuously recruit and train soldiers from the herbivorous monsters of all tribes in the plains, gradually regain his strength, and give the enemy a chance to breathe."
"Your Majesty, this is clearly the moment when Demon King Yuanlu is at his weakest. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to complete his victory, should we still give it a chance to become bigger again?"
Demon King Kuihu was now in a dilemma. It felt that what Lin Shan and Mr. Yan said seemed to make sense, but it didn't know which one to listen to.
At this time, the advantages of having many brothers are revealed.
Mr. Yao only has one. How can one mouth be compared with three mouths?
Zhong Shenxiu stepped forward to report:
"Your Majesty, the way to use troops is to build momentum in one go, then weaken again, and then exhaust it three times. At this time, morale is strong, which is a good opportunity for a war. If we withdraw our troops and return to the division, our army's strength will plummet, and all the previous achievements will be wasted. It is not possible!"
< br>
Young Master Jiuyou also stepped forward:
"If you don't plan for the future, you can't plan for a moment; if you don't plan for the overall situation, you can't plan for a region. Now is a God-given opportunity to break through Hongya Cave. If the king retreats because he is afraid of being attacked from both sides, it will definitely weaken the prestige of our army and increase the morale of others. , you may not regret it for the rest of your life!”
"That's nonsense!"
Mr. Yan couldn't help interrupting them, pointing at his nose and yelling curses.
"In my opinion, it's a lie that you are helping the king, but you are really trying to enter Hongya Cave, right? Otherwise, why would you always advise the king to take dangerous measures, chase and attack fiercely, and make surprise attacks without any concern for the way back?"
The hearts of the three of them jumped!
Could it be that this old man saw something?
