While Cao Ning was busy reorganizing the Huangquan Express stall, Di Xi, as the Lord of Donglan, was not idle either.
In just a few days, he reorganized all the remaining ghost people in the territory, men, women, old and young, as his final capital, trying to wipe out the shame in the next joint attack. Junqu Pavilion
But he ignored the most crucial point.
Most of the ghost people in Donglan were either criminals who had committed heinous crimes during their lifetime and hid here to avoid punishment from the underworld, or they were forcibly kidnapped.
Due to various reasons, their willingness to resist was not strong. Coupled with the serious damage caused by this troop dispatch, there are already signs of public revolt in Donglan.
Now, Di Xi has forcibly ordered the conscription of troops, and the people's resentment has boiled for a while.
Di Xi's prestige among the people of Donglan plummeted instantly.
"Your Majesty, all the more than 3,000 people from the New Army of Nanying who participated in the rebellion have been captured. Please tell me how to deal with them."
"What else do you need to ask for? If you dare to violate the order of rebellion and disobedience, these people should all die."
Di Xi frowned coldly and looked at Wei Wuji, the commander of the southern camp in the audience: "General Wei, since these people are your subordinates, then it is up to you to execute them."
"Ah...this..."
Wei Wuji's expression suddenly changed!
On the surface, Di Xi's move was to scare Xiao Xiao, but in reality it was also a test of him.
If he is unwilling to accept it, then he will definitely be suspected by Di Xi in the future, and may even end up miserable.
But if he lets go and kills three thousand new troops, he will definitely be labeled as cruel and unkind in the future.
You must know that these three thousand new troops are not enemy prisoners of war, but new troops that have just been recruited by our own side.
It's okay to say that the number of people is small, but now there are 3,000 people. Killing them all will undoubtedly be criticized.
"Your Majesty, are there too many people? The general suggested that all the thieves involved be executed. This can also have the effect of stabilizing the morale of the army."
"General Wei, when did you become so kind?"
Di Xi frowned with cold eyes and hummed: "If I don't kill one today to serve as a warning to others, more people will come against me tomorrow. Rather than causing constant trouble in the future, it's better to get rid of them once and for all."
"But..."
"Stop talking!"
Wei Wuji wanted to fight for it again, but was interrupted by Di Xi.
Di Xi said with a gloomy face: "General Wei has hesitated again and again. Do you also agree with their opinions?"
"The general will not dare!"
Di Xi's words frightened Wei Wuji into a cold sweat on the spot, and he quickly knelt down with his hands in his hands to defend himself.
"My general's loyalty to your Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon, and I will never have the slightest hint of rebellion."
"If that's the case, then go ahead and execute it!"
Di Xi waved her hand impatiently: "Remember, the execution must be carried out in front of the three armies, so that those who still have different intentions can take a good look at it. This is the fate of rebelling against me."
"yes!"
Seeing that Di Xi's attitude was so resolute, Wei Wuji did not dare to say any more and immediately agreed.
Just as Wei Wuji was exiting the hall, an eagle with a sharp beak and sharp claws flew in from outside the hall.
The flying eagle landed next to Di Xi's throne, and upon closer inspection, there was a letter wrapped around its ankle.
Di Xi took it off and took a closer look. His eyes widened immediately, full of shock and excitement.
The letter was sent by Ouyang Yu, the Empress of Beilan. It said that Xiao Yan was unreliable and planned to negotiate with him about joining forces.
In order to show his sincerity, Ouyang Yu is willing to allocate part of his AK to help him arm a squad.
This made Di Xi extremely happy!
He had seen the power of ak on the battlefield. If he could have such a troop under his command, it would not only strengthen the strength of the Beilan Army, but also stabilize the current morale of the army.
Di Xi would never miss such a great thing.
"Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, if I want to blame you, I can only blame you for being too self-righteous. It's okay now. You gave me an advantage in vain."
Di Xi’s heart suddenly blossomed!
He quickly mobilized 300 personal guards to protect him, and hurriedly set off for Zhongheng Mountain, where the secret meeting was held.
...
In the long pavilion in front of Zhongheng Mountain Pass, Chonglou and Ouyang Yu were sipping tea in front of the stone table.
The incense rising from the stone platform is overflowing with fragrance, which has a refreshing effect.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly dust started to rise in front of the mountain, and it seemed like a large group of people were moving here.
"coming!"
Seeing the Xuanwu flag appearing, Ouyang Yu suddenly felt nervous.
Chonglou, who was sitting at the front, smiled slightly and took Ouyang Yu's hand.
"Don't be nervous, relax, just be the same as before coming here."
"..."
Ouyang Yu looked at Zhonglou's confident face, but it was extremely rare that he didn't withdraw his hand, seeming to acquiesce to his behavior.
"Hahaha... The Empress is indeed true to her word, but she came a step too late... Hey, who is this?"
Di Xi came to the pavilion and dismounted, only to find that there was a man besides Ouyang Yu in the pavilion.
The man looked strange, but it was not difficult to tell their relationship from the intimate behavior between him and Ouyang Yu.
Ouyang Yu hurriedly withdrew his hand and said awkwardly: "Oh, this is Chonglou, my friend."
"I see!"
Di Xi didn't say much after hearing this.
Originally, this was his private matter and had nothing to do with him.
What he is thinking about right now is how to get as much of ak out of Ouyang Yu's hands as possible.
When Di Xi took his seat, Chonglou poured him a cup of tea without haste.
"Dongjun is a man of his word as he keeps his promise as scheduled. If this happens, our big things will surely come true."
"What brother said is absolutely true!"
Faced with Chonglou's flattery, Di Xi was very impressed.
Keep your chest high and your head high, and still look like a winner.
"I have long said that Xiao Yan is arrogant, and cooperation with him will only lead to a thankless end. It is better for us to cooperate."
"I believe that as long as our two families are willing to unite, we will be able to work together to conquer Fengdu City in the future."
"At that time, this underworld will not be decided by our two families."
Di Xi boasted a bit, then picked up the cup of tea and smelled it first.
Suddenly, I felt a thin spiritual power penetrate into the eight extraordinary meridians, and then my whole body felt refreshed.
"Hey, this cup of tea is really strange. It seems to be mixed with new spiritual power?"
"Dongjun is indeed a knowledgeable person!"
Chonglou picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "This is a high-quality spiritual tea that is tempered with the essence and blood of hundreds of newborn babies, and supplemented with thousands of years of Polygonum multiflorum. Each time the cauldron is made, the output is only a small cup.
That’s all.”
"Hundreds of babies?"
After hearing this, Di Xi suddenly felt a chill running down her back.
Although he had done many bad things in the human world, he had never been so cruel.
Using newborn babies to make tea sounds like a method used by people in the devil world.
