Liang Yao took the secret letter and didn't know which one to give it to. Taoist priest Xuanzhen said: "Give it to Shi Jingxiang. She should have a normal relationship with Long Chen, so it can work in her hands."
Taoist Priest Xuanzhen felt that although Shi Jingxiang was related to Long Chen, he also had a grudge. If he sent a secret letter to Shi Jingxiang, she would not be in a hurry to give it to Long Chen.
Liang Yao thought about it and thought it made sense, so he immediately took the secret letter and left the border.
The army has already set off, and although there are few barbarian warriors, they are in front because they are the true owners of the grassland and are more familiar with it.
Shi Jingxiang followed the barbarian army in front. Liang Yao rode his horse and chased them for more than ten miles before catching up with the barbarians.
"Where is Princess Xixia?"
Liang Yao asked the barbarian warrior. The barbarian warrior pointed to the front and said, "The princess and the Shanyu are walking in front."
Liang Yao continued to walk forward and saw Shi Jingxiang in front of the team.
"Princess Stone."
Liang Yao shouted, and Shi Jingxiang heard the sound and turned to look behind him.
She didn't know Liang Yao, and neither did Tuzhi.
"That is Liang Yao, a Taoist priest from Lihuo Island."
General Basi met Liang Yao and immediately introduced the visitor's identity.
Shi Jingxiang was confused, what were the Taoist priests from Lihuo Island looking for?
Liang Yao stepped forward and saluted Shi Jingxiang: "Liang Yao, a poor Taoist, has seen the princess Shan Yu."
Shi Jingxiang reined in his horse and stopped and asked, "Do you have any advice from Taoist Liang?"
He ran over in a hurry, looking anxious, something must be urgent.
"Master has some instructions, let Pindao tell the princess."
Liang Yao glanced at the others, and Tu Zhi immediately understood and said with a smile: "Let's go first."
Tu Zhi led his soldiers and horses to take the first step, while Shi Jingxiang and Liang Yao walked several hundred meters to the side.
"Taoist Liang, please tell me if you have anything to say."
Shi Jingxiang wanted to know what happened to Liang Yao.
Liang Yao took out the secret letter from his arms and said: "This is the secret letter from my master to King Wu. I will leave it in the hands of the princess for now. If King Wu encounters an emergency, you can give the secret letter to King Wu."
Shi Jingxiang was baffled.
Why wasn't Taoist Priest Xuanzhen's secret message given directly to Long Chen?
If Long Chen is not at Yanmen Pass, he can also let the empress or the two Zhou princesses take him there.
If you don't give it to the empress or princess, you can give it to Wu Jian, or other female generals of the Long family army.
Why keep it for yourself?
The strangest thing is that I have to keep this secret letter for a while, and then give it to Long Chen if he is in danger.
What kind of secret message is this?
"Why didn't the Taoist priest give it directly to the Empress of Zhou? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to give it to King Wu?"
Shi Jingxiang didn't understand very much.
Liang Yao didn't know how to explain it, but just said: "Because... it's not suitable. It's most suitable to put it here with the princess."
Shi Jingxiang asked: "Why is it best to put it here with me?"
Liang Yao couldn't think of a good way to say it, so he had to say: "I don't know what Master told me like this."
Shi Jingxiang looked at Liang Yao's embarrassed look and guessed that there must be a reason why he was embarrassed to say it.
"Then, sir, what is an emergency?"
Liang Yao said that when Long Chen encountered an emergency, Shi Jingxiang gave the secret message to Long Chen.
How is this emergency defined?
Liang Yao immediately said: "If King Wu loses to Wu Sheng, Ghost Girl, Princess will give this secret letter to King Wu."
Shi Jingxiang became even more surprised.
Does this mean that this secret letter can turn the tide of the war?
Does Taoist Master Xuanzhen still have this ability?
"Oh...ok, I remember."
Shi Jingxiang reached out and Liang Yao slowly handed it over.
"Excuse me, princess. Please remember that King Wu will only give it to you in an emergency."
Liang Yao asked again, and Shi Jingxiang took the secret letter into his arms and said, "Remember it, Taoist Liang, don't worry."
Liang Yao bowed to express his gratitude, then quickly rode away.
Liang Yao felt a little embarrassed, so he wanted to leave early.
After the people left, Shi Jingxiang immediately took out the secret letter and opened it.
If this secret letter can turn the tide of the battle and turn defeat into victory for Long Chen, why not read it now?
Do you have to wait until there are corpses everywhere before watching?
After carefully reading the contents of the secret message, Shi Jingxiang's face suddenly changed, and his eyes showed disbelief.
"No wonder..."
After reading the contents of the secret letter, Shi Jingxiang finally understood why Taoist Priest Xuanzhen said that he had to wait until the critical moment before giving it to Long Chen.
After folding the secret letter, Shi Jingxiang put the secret letter into his arms and put it away.
The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was slowly approaching, and the empress led a group of generals in front. Shi Jingxiang turned his horse's head and quickly headed northwest.
...
North of the grassland.
Long Chen and the others stood in front of a dark green forest, surrounded by white ice and snow.
"Sir, is this the Black Forest?"
Gan Xin looked at this dark green coniferous forest. Against the surrounding white snow, it indeed looked like a black forest.
Yi He said: "I have only heard them say it, but I have never been here."
Mu Zhen looked at the trees hundreds of meters high and sighed: "They said the trees here can lead to the Wolf God's temple."
Long Chen said: "It has been recorded many times in history books, and the old witch from the ghost tribe also recorded that there was a fierce battle here."
The Black Forest is mentioned in the Jade Book of the Holy Guard, and there are also records of fierce battles in the forest in historical records.
This shows that a fierce battle did occur here.
Mo Lin said: "This is the last of the seven locations marked by your Excellency."
After killing the evildoers of the Deer Kingdom last time, Long Chen looked at the remaining spots and found no hidden soldiers.
This is the last place.
The barbarian guide I met last time gave him a horse and food after he woke up, and asked him to go south to Yanmen Pass to meet the barbarians.
Long Chen said: "Yes, this is the place where the most brutal fighting was recorded in the history books."
When Long Chen said this, several people immediately became nervous.
Places where wars have occurred are often where soldiers are hidden.
There has been a great battle in the Black Forest, so there is probably a Martial Saint hiding frozen soldiers and horses here.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Long Chen rode forward, but Yi He and Mu Zhen didn't dare to go in. They said this was the place leading to the Wolf God's Heavenly Temple, and they didn't dare to desecrate it.
Feng He smiled and said: "Since it is the place leading to the Wolf God's Temple, you should take a look. Maybe you can also become a god."
Yi He looked at Mu Zhen, who shook his head and said, "No, we will be disrespectful to the Wolf God if we go in."
Long Chen said: "Forget it, they are different from us."
Gods are things that require sincerity and spirituality. Those who believe in them are frightened and sincere, while those who don't believe in them are just clay sculptures and wood carvings.
Feng He smiled and followed Long Chen into the black forest on horseback.
Watching Long Chen and the others go in, Yi He whispered: "Will they anger the Wolf God if they go in like this?"
Mu Zhen didn't say anything. They were actually not happy about Long Chen breaking into the place of gods.
"The Wolf God will forgive them. They are also looking for ghosts. If there are ghost soldiers hidden in the black forest, it would be disrespectful to the Wolf God."
Mu Zhen could only explain it this way to help Long Chen absolve himself of his guilt.
Yi He thought about it. Long Chen went in to clean up the ghost soldiers hidden inside. This was a meritorious deed.
"Then we should also go in, and we can be counted as one."
Yihe felt a little regretful.
Long Chen walked into the black forest. It was very quiet inside, with only the sound of horse hooves stepping on the snow.
Feng He looked up and saw that the branches and needles covered the sky, and the surroundings were clearly black and white.
"This forest is huge, where should we find it?"
Gan Xin looked around and felt that he had no clue.
