Chapter 1579 Good times are at hand
Who would have known that under the leadership of Qing Ao, who was dressed in gray Taoist robes, the war beast's iron hoofs would crush the ruined mountains and rivers and approach the city.
In a desperate battle, the bodies of the soldiers who committed suicide under the city gate were mercilessly crushed.
Looking at the True Immortal Cult team coming with the force of tigers and wolves, Junhuang Chenghuang was so horrified that his liver and gallbladder almost burst. His whole body froze and he held his breath involuntarily. There were thousands of Dharma signs behind him. , but not to meet the enemy.
But because the situation is not right, I can abandon this city in time and settle down and retreat to the next fairy city as soon as possible.
A gentleman does not stand under dangerous walls, he is the master of a monarch. At this moment, appearing in this fairy city in the outside world has already achieved the effect of a personal expedition to boost morale.
There is no need to seriously risk your life in this small city.
The water god's realm is so vast that he can occupy the national uniforms of one hundred and three fairy cities.
As for the outermost border towns, if necessary and the war is tight, they will be abandoned as long as they can.
The main thing is to defend the core fortress, keep the troops from collapse, and delay as much time as possible until the brother can find a way to break through the mountain boundary. With this resource, it is the death of this traitor Qing Ao!
As for the woman named Cang Nanyi...
Junhuang Chenghuang never believed that this ruthless woman would choose to stand aside in the face of righteousness.
It must have been his Ruoshu Zhan letter that the traitor Qing Ao withheld.
When he personally caused such big troubles, she solved them one by one for herself.
He even understands the truth that the lips are cold and the teeth are dead.
If Qing Ao is really allowed to capture the Water God Realm, it means that all the power of heaven, earth, water and swamps in the Kunlun Mountains' hundred thousand mountains will fall into the hands of the enemy.
No matter how powerful she is, she cannot withstand the ten years and hundreds of years of drying up the Kunlun Jingxu.
Without water to nourish the earth, hundreds of thousands of mountains and hundreds of millions of creatures will only wither into fossils without spiritual power.
As long as he writes a few more letters, the scouts with special skills in the mountains will send them to Xixuan Peak one by one.
As long as a letter can be delivered to the Wangchen Palace, she cannot sit idly by due to this bond of cause and effect.
However, before his true body could escape with Fa Xiang, the tiger and wolf army with a rainbow of momentum came to the city, and Qing Ao raised his arm, but stopped the march of the army.
He was riding on the clouds in the void, his cold and dark eyes filled with a playful sneer, looking down at the emperor who was frightened out of his mind.
Junhuang took advantage of the wilderness and glanced at that look, his whole body was filled with coldness.
On the contrary, Taoist Gu Kui, even though he was equally scared, stood up and protected Junhuang Chenghuang, blocking Master Qingao's cold gaze as if looking at prey.
She said in a stern voice: "The real person's life has been full of misfortunes. Even though it is regrettable, it is reasonable for the real person to resent Master Zhu Zhan. However, the king has no grudges against the real person. In the eyes of the king, It can be said that you regard real people as close friends and Taoist friends
The master's achievements today are indispensable to your Majesty's trust and hope in the master. Doesn't the master feel that he is retaliating by revolting to avenge kindness? ! "
"Repay kindness with hatred? "Master Qing Ao had a smile as thin as mist on his face, and a hint of pity for fools in his cold eyes.
"Only you, Taoist Gu, will regard this man's actions as A favor. ”
He looked uninterested, and seemed to have little desire to talk to her, so he did not continue to say anything more.
The raised arm waved down, With Junhuang Chenghuang's heart beating wildly, the dark army behind him did not break through the barrier, but for some reason, all retreated like a tide.
Junhuang Chenghuang was stunned on the spot, and when he came to his senses, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Then Gu Kui's beautiful eyes suddenly turned scarlet.
Qing Ao clearly had the energy to continue attacking the city, but he stopped in front of the city gate.
It clearly looks like they came here in this grand era just to crush the corpses of those soldiers.
The Emperor Chenghuang breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Retreat, retreat, they retreated! My decision is indeed correct. He must know my determination not to open the city gate to death. He If he continues to choose to attack by force, even if he forcibly captures the Water God Kingdom, he will still experience a serious injury. How will he still have the energy to continue to deal with Cang Nanyi?"
The general who had shouted loudly just now that he would defend Jun Huang Chenghuang to the death frowned. For some reason, the enemy army had clearly retreated, but after listening to Jun Shang's words, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the enemy has retreated, but we have to open the city gate to welcome the general..."
"Open the city gate!!!" His face changed drastically, and his reaction was strange: "That traitor Qing Ao is determined to die for me not to open the city gate. Shocked! Now I have to re-evaluate the pros and cons and examine myself! At this time, you actually let me open the city gate. What is your intention?"
The warrior looked stunned and then lowered his head. , said solemnly: "My subordinates have absolutely no such intention! It's just that there are thousands of soldiers in the city over there. , they are all loyal to the emperor, and they never surrendered despite being defeated. They died to prove their reputation. They are warriors. Their souls should return to their hometown and rest in peace, instead of being trampled into mud by the enemy's cavalry and eaten by rotten vultures. "
"The soul has returned to its hometown? Under that city gate, it was also my domain. They They were originally in their homeland, but now the enemy's flag has been planted. The fact that they were defeated cannot be changed! Since they were defeated in the war, how could anyone have the shame to risk opening the city gate to restrain a defeated army like them? Bones, isn’t this a joke?”
The general was shocked, looked at Junhuang Chenghuang in disbelief, and murmured: "Your Majesty, you think they... are a joke?"
Junhuang Chenghuang sneered and shook his sleeves , said: "No matter how you say it, being able to force the traitor Qing Ao back outside the battle line today can be regarded as a victory in this battle. In the short term, he will definitely not easily provoke wars again. In these days, you can send A large number of scouts went to the Kunlun Mountains and asked Qingxuan Female Officer to send troops to assist.
The True Immortal Sect's strongholds in the mountains are too scattered and their territory is limited. As long as they are combined with the mountains and rivers, the cancer of the True Immortal Sect will be eliminated. Get rid of it!”
Seeing that Junhuang Chenghuang didn’t care about the life and death of his people, he was only protecting his own personal interests in his words.
The general was extremely heartbroken, but he dared not speak out in anger.
As for the cancer of the True Immortal Sect, isn't it because your Majesty insisted on cultivating this external force in the mountains regardless of the Queen's wishes? Now that he has lured the wolf into the house and suffered a counterattack, he has no regrets at all. At this time, He also thought about letting the Emperor and the Queen bear the consequences for the trouble he caused.
In this peaceful and prosperous age, the emperor took advantage of the famine and rarely went on a personal expedition. He saw the flesh and blood turned to mud on the border battlefields, and the mountains, rivers and cities were destroyed. In the end, it cast a huge shadow on his heart. . In the few days since he retreated to the Backwater Temple in the border city, he could not wait for a reply from Kunlun Mountain. Instead, battle reports covered with blood, mud and dust were sent to his imperial case all day long.
Junhuang Chenghuang was very annoyed by this. He didn’t need to open the battle report to know that the restless thief had begun to attack cities and territories in his kingdom again.
However, this time, he lost the courage to go to the battlefield to fight in person.
No matter how much Gu Kui tried to persuade him, he was unwilling to go again.
Over the years, he has wandered around the gentle countryside, never revisiting the military art he learned under the pressure of his brother when he was a boy.
Although he did not know the true strength of the army under his command in detail, he still understood that the foundation of Zunxian could not be broken overnight.
What's more, his brother left him many capable officers. As long as he insists on never opening the city gate like he did in that war, Qing Ao's progress in conquering his country will never be any faster.
Even after hearing that the veteran general Zhai Long, who was good at fighting and extremely brave, had come out of the mountain and led the elite soldiers and generals who had practiced in seclusion for many years in the mountains to rush to the battlefield, this made the emperor even more excited. My tense heart suddenly felt relieved.
In this way, with the war being mutually tense and stalemate, it would be difficult for Qing Ao to strictly guard the front line. If the battle report letters he wrote were based on quantity, the chances of them being delivered to Cang Nanyi would be greatly increased.
In recent days, the emperor has been neglecting sleep and eating, writing letters one after another. He has sent all the scouts in the mountain to use this letter as an important battle report. He has risked his life to deliver it to Cangnan Yi. Go in hand.
After doing this, Junhuang Chenghuang seemed to have completed a major mission, and he felt a lot relieved for his efforts.
The panic of the country's imminent subjugation seemed to have found some kind of solace. The king did not choose to move forward or fight to the death, but chose to paralyze himself and wait for the rain to come. The feeling of oppression is nothing.
Cowardly escaping from thinking, simply thinking that as long as Cang Nanyi can open the content of the battle report he wrote, he will definitely turn the tide and change everything with his vigorous and resolute actions like before.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.
Back then, his life was in danger due to the robbery of Si Shui Shen Yuan. It was Cang Nanyi who paved the way for him and solved the trouble very smoothly.
Even though he lost the Kunlun Mountain's sacred object, Hanyu Pond, and suffered countless infamy, in the end he was still half husband and half king of Kunlun Mountain.
If he really died in the Kunlun Mountains, even if Cangnanyi tried to save him afterwards, his brother would definitely not let go of the Kunlun Mountains easily.
She knows how to choose.
What's more, what if the battle report, which is enough to put pressure on Cang Nanyi, cannot be delivered to her.
She is not deaf or blind who turns a blind eye.
Such a huge change has occurred in the Water God Realm. Under the stalemate of the battle, her saintly eyes and Dharma eyes look down on all living beings. It is absolutely impossible for her to be unaware of the war here.
In fact, Junhuang Chenghuang felt that the reason why Cangnanyi had not shown up for so long was because she already had the means to suppress and deal with the old god master Aoqing, and was just waiting for the opportunity.
She comforted herself over and over again, paralyzing herself with self-deception.
In order to prove the authenticity of what he thought in his heart, the emperor took advantage of the shortage and once again recruited dancing girls and musicians, and worked hard to create a situation where no matter how the outside world was turbulent and the war was in full swing, he could still maintain a calm posture and sing and dance calmly in this palace. .
The handsome talents and beautiful ladies in the palace, the lyrics that should be written, the music that should be composed, are the Heyan Temple that the emperor has never set foot in, and he is here for the first time. He went into the mountains and burned a jar of incense to bless his country of mountains and rivers with prosperity and immortality.
Suffering a huge change, his newlywed concubine has already rushed to the battlefield with her sword in hand, never to return.
But he is still wandering leisurely in singing and dancing, taking in the beautiful scenery, lying on her knees, holding the good times in his hands, only the huge mountains and rivers, the good generals and ministers who are truly loyal to him, The safety of the people's homes was forgotten.
However, Junhuang Chenghuang never realized that the meaning of his refusal to let go and open the city gate was not that he was a man of steel and refused to surrender.
Refusing to open the city gate and take in the defeated soldiers is tantamount to abandoning one's own subjects and generals, as well as the land that originally belonged to oneself outside the tower and city walls.
In a pitiful way of maintaining his self-esteem, in a subtle and humble way, he practiced the method of cutting land and selling people, in order to feed the enemy, try to satisfy him, and make him happy. Just take it.
But he doesn’t know that the True Immortal Sect is an evil wolf that cannot be fed enough, and Qing Ao is an evil ghost who crawled back into this world from hell.
Cowardly and naive thoughts will only lead to even more ferocious cruelty from evil wolves and evil spirits.
There is no need to use tactics many times. Just once, the emperor took advantage of the famine to refuse to open the city gate and collect the bones. Qing Ao had already succeeded in his ambition and achieved his goal.
Qing Ao made another kill, and he invited a Chinese painter to draw a portrait of Zhai Long.
The portrait is lifelike, but it is the scene of Zhai Long drinking with the young god master when he was young.
The picture is lifelike, and the emotions between the expressions are vividly depicted.
And this painting, along with a black and yellow jade pendant, was sent to the imperial desk of the Water Temple.
During the singing and dancing at the Water Temple, the veteran Zhai Long was dressed in blood-stained black armor, filled with murderous aura. Every step he took, it was like a huge mountain shaking. Even though he was seriously injured, the veteran's body looked... There is still a very strong sense of stability that is daunting.
He could clearly see that his back, which was full of injuries, was covered with countless war flags and totems representing the generals of the ten directions of the Water God. He shouted: "Please open the city of Qianzhou and allow me to collect the bones of my compatriots and go home!"
He was asked to open the city gate again. Or Qianzhou City? ! !
Qing Ao had already reached his fortress in just three days.
This is simply ridiculous!
No matter how strong Na Qing Ao is, if he is not familiar with the layout of the country's defense lines, how can he swallow up half of his territory and directly attack the fortress in just three days? !
Junhuang Chenghuang was already in a depressed mood when he saw Zhai Long's vicissitudes but still retaining the traces of time on his face. A frightening black energy suddenly rose between his eyebrows.
He walked up to Zhai Long with a glass of wine, handed it to him, and said with a ferocious face: "General, the war is tight. I pity the general that he is old but still has to suffer from the war. Thank you for your hard work, general." , why not drink this cup of condolence wine first, the general is stating his request."
