Di Luoxi and Di Xingwan congratulated each other at the same time: "My congratulations to my mother and queen."
The empress happily put away her phoenix wings and said, "My weapons have been reforged. I wonder how Long Chen is doing now."
Long Chen left Yuncheng to look for the holy beast. The empress knew about this, but the three princesses didn't know yet.
"What did the dead eunuch do?"
Di Luoxi spoke quickly and burst out a sentence immediately.
The empress frowned and said: "Luo Xi, Long Chen is now King Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the commander-in-chief of all the armies. Don't open your mouth and you will die, and shut up and you will die. It is not dignified."
Di Luoxi chuckled and said, "My son, please let me know. Mother, please calm down."
"Mother, where did Long Chen go? Why didn't you tell us?"
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were dissatisfied that Long Chen was doing things behind their backs and told the empress but not them.
"Go find something, and you will know it later."
The empress was afraid that the matter would spread, so she didn't tell Long Chen about looking for the snow beast.
Di Luoxi really wanted to know, but it was hard to ask, so she could only grit her teeth secretly in her heart: How dare you hide it from me, damn eunuch, I will see how I deal with you when you come back!
The empress said: "You go and train your troops. Take a rest in the evening and go back in two days."
There will be a war at Yanmen Pass at any time, so it is not safe for Emperor Xing to stay at Yanmen Pass at night.
"My son, I accept the decree."
The three princesses retired, and the empress returned to the house with the phoenix wings.
The phoenix-wing boring machine was placed next to the table. From now on, the empress would never leave this weapon.
Emperor Xing came out of the courtyard at night and talked with Di Luoxi and Emperor Lingyi, talking about the war at Yanmen Pass and the government affairs in the capital.
After chatting, Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi continued their military training, and Di Xingwan prepared to return to the capital.
...
West of the Hera Pass.
Long Chen and Cheng Jin searched along the peaks to the west of the Hera Pass, leaving footprints behind them one by one. It was very difficult for the two of them to walk.
The snow near the Hera Pass was so thick that when I stepped down, half of my leg was gone.
Cheng Jin exhaled white mist from his nose and felt sweat on his back.
It was such a cold place, with ice jade on his back, and he was sweating from exhaustion. Cheng Jin felt like he had no strength left.
"Sir, please take a rest, I can't walk anymore."
Cheng Jin couldn't pull his legs out from the snow, and rested his hands on the snow. Finally, he simply sat on the ground without moving.
His legs felt quite comfortable in the snow, and Cheng Jin was too lazy to move.
"I don't have enough stamina. Take a rest and I'll look for you again."
Long Chen stepped on the thick snow and continued to search for traces of the holy beast, while Cheng Jin rested on the spot.
When he reached the foot of the mountain, Long Chen looked up at the mountain peaks piercing the snow clouds. After thinking about it, he resisted the urge to crawl over and spy on the ghost tribe's barracks.
There are military camps outside the Hera Pass, and there must be a large number of ghost soldiers stationed inside.
Long Chen had been to the barracks inside the mountain pass before, and he also killed many people in the barracks.
"I don't want to climb up, and the holy beast probably won't climb up either."
There is no point in climbing the 10,000-meter mountain, except to take a look at the military camp.
It is even said that the mountain peak is so high that even the military camp cannot be seen clearly due to the snow clouds blocking it.
Long Chen walked back, and Cheng Jin fell asleep on the snow.
The walk was indeed too tiring, so Long Chen didn't wake Cheng Jin up and sat down next to him to rest.
...
Ice Palace.
Wu Sheng practiced cross-legged, and the true energy flowed slowly around the meridians. When he reached the spleen, he felt a heartbreaking tingling sensation. Wu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, endured the pain, and urged the true energy to pass through.
His teeth clenched and his true energy slowly passed through him. Wu Sheng exhaled and fell down on the chair.
Finally, the true energy passed through the spleen.
The most serious injury caused by Long Chen's shot was his spleen, which had a big hole.
Fortunately, Wu Sheng has strong recovery ability. If it had been anyone else, he would have died on the spot.
"Little thief, wait for me!"
Wu Sheng cursed and really wanted to tear Long Chen into pieces right now.
Slowly standing up, with his feet on the ground, Wu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and his meridians felt clear.
It was already dark outside, Wu Sheng looked unhappy, walked out of the room and found the demon spirit.
"I asked you to find Meng Tian, but why haven't you seen him yet?"
The Martial Saint has always been dissatisfied with the demon spirit. The demon spirit respects the ghost girl and obeys the Martial Saint's orders.
The demon spirit didn't pay attention and replied: "I've sent someone to deliver the order, but for some reason they haven't returned yet. I'll send someone to urge him again."
Wu Sheng suddenly said angrily: "Are my words like farts? How long has it been since I asked you to send an order to find someone? How long will it take for you to send someone to urge me again?"
The infuriating energy exploded, and the palace made of ice bricks shook, and the demon spirit was frightened.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I really sent someone to deliver the order. I don't know why I didn't come back."
The demon spirit's face turned pale and his expression was frightened. He did not expect that the Martial Saint would suddenly become angry.
The Martial Saint glared at the Demon Spirit angrily, his true energy still radiating out. The Demon Spirit was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and did not dare to look directly at the Martial Saint.
As the high priest of the ghost clan, demons rarely even kneel down to salute ghost girls.
She was really frightened by Wu Sheng, her knees were weak from fear, and she knelt down in front of Wu Sheng to admit her mistake.
The ghost girl opened the door and came in, followed by two maids.
Seeing the angry Martial Saint and the kneeling demon spirit, the ghost girl asked: "What's wrong? Are you so angry?"
Wu Sheng didn't say anything. The demon raised his head and looked at the ghost girl aggrievedly, and said: "The king ordered me to send an order for General Meng Tian to meet. I have already sent people there, but I don't know why I haven't returned yet."
"Your Majesty said that I acted in a positive and negative way, and you really wronged me."
This time, the devil really did as he was told, and the maid did go to the Black Forest, but was eaten by the holy beast.
"Husband, calm down. There may be a problem on the road. Just send someone to help."
The ghost girl signaled the demon to get up, and the demon slowly got up, its hands and feet trembling a little.
The demon spirits look down on the Martial Saint, but they know how powerful the Martial Saint is.
If the Martial Saint took action, it would be easy to kill the demon spirit, and it would be impossible for the ghost girl to split with the Martial Saint for the sake of the demon spirit.
In the final analysis, the martial saint and the ghost girl are a couple, and the demon spirits are ministers.
"Still not going?"
The demon was still standing in the room, and the ghost girl motioned for the demon to go out, lest Wu Sheng would see him and get angry.
The demon immediately slipped out of the room, followed by the maid quietly exiting.
Wu Sheng was still angry, and no one wanted to be blamed.
"What's wrong, husband? Anger hurts your body, and the injury hasn't fully healed yet."
The ghost girl helped Wu Sheng sit down, and Wu Sheng said with some complaint: "These people from the Holy Clan only recognize you but not me. What I say is like falling on deaf ears, and no one listens to it at all."
"I asked Li Chengdao to assist with the training of the saint warriors. The demon secretly instigated the generals to disobey orders."
"Long Chen's army has firearms. If we don't train our troops enough, we will still lose the battle later."
The Martial Saint's hatred for demon spirits is not just a day or two, but a grudge that only broke out today.
"I have already spoken about this matter. Now all the saint warriors obey Li Chengdao's training."
"Besides, Li Chengdao is an outsider after all, so it's normal for the priest to have concerns."
The ghost girl slowly comforted her, and Wu Sheng let out a long sigh and said: "As long as Yanmen Pass is broken, I can train my army again. This winter attack must be won!"
The ghost warriors still obey the orders of the ghost girl, and Wu Sheng, an outsider, cannot command them.
If you want to build an army that is completely obedient to your orders, you must make half-ghosts out of human beings.
Wu Sheng wanted to break Yanmen Pass, capture Jingzhuang, train him as a dead soldier, and regain control of the army.
"Don't worry, we didn't have enough troops in the past and were careless, so we fell into Long Chen's trap. It won't happen again in the future."
The ghost girl is very sure that with one hundred thousand ghost soldiers in hand, she will win the battle ahead.
