The sycamore tree outside the Wutong Palace has luxuriant branches and leaves after the beginning of summer. Occasionally, when the wind blows, some leaves will blow off, and most of them will fall to the ground.
At this moment, there happened to be a gust of wind, and a piece of sycamore leaf slowly fell from the tree, and finally landed on the head of the woman sitting cross-legged under the tree.
At this time, the woman opened her eyes, and her eyes were completely white.
Then she reached out and took off the sycamore leaf above her head, held it in her hand and looked at it. Her eyes were full of sword intent, and in just an instant, she shattered the sycamore leaf.
Seeing the powder falling, Xi Lu stood up, stretched out his hand, and took back the Feijian Lou Waiqiu stuck in the ground.
After thinking about it, Qiu outside the building transformed into the size of a hairpin and lay quietly in the palm of the demon princess. Xilu stretched out his hand and pinned it in his hair, then stood up and left Wutong Palace.
When she appeared again, she had already arrived outside the palace. After walking a few steps, the demon princess entered a tavern.
The place is full of wine.
But there were no guests.
Xilu walked to the counter of the tavern, where a plump woman was taking a nap. Xilu knocked on the table, and the woman slowly opened her eyes.
Seeing that the person coming was Xilu, the woman's eyes began to light up, "It's Her Royal Highness..."
Xilu didn't wait for her to finish, but just asked, "Where is my imperial brother?"
The woman was startled, but quickly said, "His Royal Highness has not been seen for many days. I am afraid he has been killed."
When she spoke, the woman's expression was gloomy. Although she had been given instructions a long time ago, she still felt a little sad.
Xilu said, "Is it normal for a prince to disappear silently into the Demon Realm?"
The woman smiled bitterly and said, "If it's someone else, of course it's not normal, but if that person doesn't want to be checked, let alone one person, even if there are a few more, it's normal."
Xilu thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she stopped talking and looked like she was in a daze, but she was thinking about something.
"How many of you are there?"
After coming back to his senses, Xilu looked at the woman, very calm.
The woman said softly, "There are only sixty-seven people, that's all the rest of us. Your Highness said that if he dies, we will all listen to Your Highness the Princess."
Xilu said, "Hide it."
The woman was startled and wanted to say something, but Xilu had already turned around and walked outside.
"Your Highness?"
The woman still couldn't help but ask, it would be easy to hide it, but the question was how long should it be hidden?
Xilu knew what she was going to ask and said bluntly, "Hide until I come to see you again. Before that, don't show your face."
After saying this, Xilu left the tavern.
When she appeared again, she was already at the high priest's mansion.
>The sudden visit of the demon princess surprised the high priest, but he quickly welcomed her out. When he saw Xilu, the high priest's eyes lit up and he praised, "Your Highness is making such rapid progress, you can't even imagine it."
We have come this far.”
He is one of the most powerful people in the Monster Clan. He has seen countless powerful people with his eyes, so he can naturally see some clues at a glance.
Earlier, Xilu had reached the end of Wangyou, but after losing to the Chen Dynasty again in the battle of Mobei, the demon princess went into seclusion due to serious injuries. Now that she is out of seclusion again, it is not just a simple matter of recovering from her injuries.
Xilu looked at the high priest and saluted slowly, "High priest, I have something to ask."
The high priest was not in a hurry to speak. He was surprised that Her Royal Highness the Princess in front of him was so direct.
After thinking for a while, the high priest walked towards the corridor and said, "Your Highness is here with you."
Walking forward, the high priest was setting up a barrier to block out all exploration.
Then he stopped in a pavilion, motioned Xilu to sit down, and then started making tea.
A large iron kettle was placed on the stove, and white mist began to slowly rise. The high priest slowly said, "Your Highness, do you know what is involved in making tea?"
Xilu doesn't speak. Her temperament has always been simple and straightforward, and she never cares about these things.
The high priest said, "It depends on the heat and time. You need to be calm when making tea. In fact, it is the same as a human being. Many things must be planned before taking action. Once you cannot calm down, in many cases, not only will all your previous efforts be wasted, but you will also harm others and yourself."
"
Xilu said, "The high priest doesn't seem to know what I want to ask."
The high priest smiled slightly, just made a cup of tea for Xilu, and then said, "Does Your Highness know that the demon tribe will go south soon?"
Xilu raised his head.
After being in seclusion for a long time, she has upgraded her swordsmanship to the realm of the Great Sword Immortal. Now she has the realm of swordsmanship and the realm of demon cultivator, and she can fight against people. To a certain extent, it can be said that she is the end of two Wangyou.
However, her Great Sword Immortal realm was created by the sword energy in that sword. Compared with the ordinary Great Sword Immortal, there are actually some differences.
But even this is very scary.
Naturally, she didn't know what happened to the outside world while she was in seclusion.
The high priest smiled and said, "On the human side, a dynasty has grown too fast. If we don't get rid of it as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will be a serious problem for us in the future. Therefore, I try my best to promote this matter, at least to destroy Daliang. I hope it's still too late."
"
Xilu thought for a while and said, "That's the truth. He is also growing very fast. I don't know how terrifying it will be in a few days."
The high priest naturally knew who Xilu was talking about.
"A dynasty has produced several sage kings in succession. It was hard to see that an incompetent emperor finally sat on that chair. Who would have thought that in just a few years, he would be kicked out by another virtuous king?
After the hero leaves, the successors should be normal, right? Who knows that another young talent will appear, it seems that even God is blessing them."
"If we continue to let it go, given time, we will usher in a powerful dynasty that has never been seen in human history. If we don't go south, they will go north. By then, we will be very passive."
The high priest sighed and said, "Everyone is afraid of death, but if we don't fight this battle now, when they come to fight us, maybe it won't be as simple as dead people. The disaster of genocide is not something we just talk about."
Xilu asked, "This time, is it with the help of the whole clan?"
The high priest nodded, took out a map from his pocket, placed it on the table, and pointed at it, "The Snow Wolf Clan, the White Bear Clan, and the Giant Elephant Clan, as the vanguard, have now reached the edge of Mobei."
Xilu also took a look and frowned slightly.
The high priest said, "After these three tribes, more demon tribe armies will also gather and then go south together."
"Your Highness, the current situation is not difficult for us, but we cannot take it lightly. The frontier troops in Daliang have a good fighting force. After so many years, it has been difficult for us to get any advantage. If this happens,
If we don't pay attention, we might be defeated a few more times."
The high priest worriedly said, "Now we must work together as one to prevent any other troubles. Even if something happens, I think we can slow it down until the war is over."
Although the high priest didn't know what Xilu wanted to ask, he had a vague feeling that what the demon princess would do would have an impact on the entire demon clan when she appeared at this moment, so he said this. .??.
Xilu remained calm and silent.
The high priest glanced at Xilu and continued, "The demon clan now belongs to your majesty. After thousands of years, the demon clan belongs to your highness. Is your highness willing to watch his people become displaced and become slaves? Maybe even
Were they exterminated?"
Xilu said, "The high priest wants to use this kind of righteousness to bind me?"
The high priest smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have never had any dealings with His Highness, I think that His Highness is not a person who is controlled by others. I can't stop what His Highness wants to do, but His Highness should think about it carefully."
Xi Lu didn't speak, but looked at the high priest in front of him with complicated emotions in his eyes.
"I ask a question, you just tell me what you know and what I won't do."
After a long time, Xilu slowly spoke, his tone was unpleasant and firm.
The high priest sighed, knowing that what he said had some effect, but not much. He also knew that he could only do so much. He straightened his mind and said, "Excuse me, Your Highness."
Xilu said word by word, "I want to know
Tell me about my mother-in-law."
Having said this, Xilu paused and said seriously, "Everything."
Hearing this, the high priest fell silent. He didn't know what to say or how to say it.
"High Priest, if you lie to me, I will kill you."
When Xi Lu spoke, his voice was very cold, even colder than when the demon clan was at its coldest.
…
…
Lower reaches of Onan River.
This place borders Mobei, and demon armies have been gathering there since earlier.
By now, a full 200,000 monster army has been assembled.
At the front of the army, several simple camps have been set up. The reason why they are simple is that these camps will be abandoned soon, and they will go to camp further ahead.
In a large tent in the center, several figures with powerful auras stood in the tent.
The leader stood at the front, looking at a territory map hanging on the wall.
It was a very tall monster with a blood-sucking aura all over his body. He didn't wear armor because no matter how good the monster's armor was, it was not as tough as his own body.
The commander of the Demon Clan's vanguard army is called Liu Xiang. In the past many years, he has been the commander-in-chief in the war between the Demon Clan and Daliang.
This time is no exception.
Liu Xiang pointed at the territory map and said with a smile, "Many years ago, we went south and beat the human race until they cried for father and mother. In the end, they had to cede 30,000 miles of Mobei to us, and they would sacrifice blood and food to us every year. At that time
, we look at them worse than looking at dogs.”
While he was speaking, a big demon felt helpless.
Liu Xiang also noticed it, but just smiled and continued, "Later they built the Great Wall, and we never went south again. But it's not that we can't go south, we just don't want to."
"Later, after they won several times at certain times, they gradually felt that they were great and thought they could stop us. It was really ridiculous."
"Now, His Majesty wants us to go south again, to bring them despair and enjoy the fattest hearts. Everyone, it's time to let them know that in front of us, they are just ants. No matter how they resist, they are destined to be defeated by us.
Crush it with one foot!"
Liu Xiang laughed and said, "Come with me to see the place where it is like spring all year round, and turn it into our new home, so that our descendants can grow as much as they want on that land!"
"Come with me and crush those ants!"
…
…
In the early summer of the 19th year of Tianjian, the largest war between the demon race and the human race in history officially kicked off on an ordinary summer day.
