When the Minotaur Ghost King saw everyone's eyes focused on him, he felt a little embarrassed. He bowed to Yao Yun in a flattering manner and respectfully replied:
"Your Majesty, Lao Niu came here at the invitation of the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King. According to the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King, someone gave us thirty ghost stones to invite us three ghost kings to attack Li City. After that, the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King took twelve ghost stones.
Lao Niu and Dryad Ghost King each took nine ghost stones..."
When Yao Yun heard the ghost stone, a strange color flashed in his heart. The ghost stone was really valuable. A few ghost stones could make a ghost king-level expert take action. It seemed that he wanted to collect two hundred ghost stones.
An easy thing.
Many thoughts flashed through Yao Yun's mind, but at this time, he paid more attention to the people behind him than the ghost stone: "Is there someone? Who asked you to attack Li City?"
The Minotaur Ghost King thought silently: "The Tenth Thunder Ghost King calls this person Brother An. Lao Niu doesn't know either, but I heard that he is the steward of the Izumo Palace and is deeply trusted by the Izumo King. I will take the thirty ghost stones as soon as I say so."
When you come out, you will be very rich."
King of Izumo?!
Yao Yun, Sun Muyue, Cang Man and others all exclaimed in surprise. He never expected that Izumo Country was behind this!
"Minotaur King, did you hear correctly? This man is really the steward of the Izumo Palace?" Yao Yun is not worried about the Minotaur King lying and deceiving him. With the domineering [Wangui Lai Chao Banner] in hand, the Minotaur King's words are untrustworthy.
doubt.
The Bull-headed Ghost King looked confident: "You must have heard it right. The Heavenly Thunder Ghost King sent tens of thousands of ghost soldiers and ghost generals before, and obtained many ghost stones and heavenly materials and earthly treasures from his hands. At that time, the Heavenly Thunder Ghost King also boasted to Lao Niu about his
This steward of the Izumo Palace has extorted a lot of good things..."
"Pfft... Hahahahaha, Your Majesty, it turns out that the ghost soldiers and generals before were all sent to us by Lord Izumo, and they were invited at a high price. Hahahaha, Your Majesty, do we have to thank Lord Izumo?
, otherwise the spring plowing out of the city will be delayed!"
Cang Man's perspective on things was novel. Initially, everyone was a little angry at Izumo Country's despicable behavior, but after hearing what Cang Man said, everyone laughed out loud, and the palace was filled with a happy atmosphere.
"Hahahahahaha"
you do not say!
If Izumo Country hadn't promptly invited ghost soldiers and generals to work day and night, spring plowing and sowing would have been delayed. Speaking of Licheng's development being on the right track, Izumo Country deserves the most credit!
Cang Man and other lieutenant generals laughed so hard that they beat their chests and slapped the table, Liusu laughed so hard that her flower branches trembled, and even Sun Muyue, who had a tense face, couldn't help but smile.
Yao Yun was also a little bit dumbfounded, and the expression on his face was extremely exciting. He never thought that the army of ghosts he had been dreaming about was actually sent by his enemy at a great cost. Timely Rain Song Jiang?
It stands to reason that Yao Yun should be very angry when he learns that Yun Guo secretly plotted against Li Cheng, but in this happy situation, Yao Yun can't feel angry and just wants to laugh.
Look at people, not only did they give up Licheng, but they also solved the problems of subsequent development. What kind of spirit is this? An internationalist spirit of doing good things properly without leaving a name, and being willing to contribute.
What else do you want from others?
No, I can't stand it any longer!
Looking at the whole hall laughing, and then looking at the confused Minotaur King who was scratching his head, Yao Yun suppressed the smile in his heart and asked the Minotaur King:
"Previously, the Sun Kingdom was invaded by an army of ghosts. Is it the Izumo Kingdom that was behind it?"
It is not uncommon for the ghost realm of the sky to invade surrounding countries, and hundreds of ghosts walking at night are not uncommon. However, under normal circumstances, the ghosts are still restrained and only absorb "popularity" instead of capturing human beings and devouring their vitality.
It is indeed a strange thing to be ruthless towards Sun Guo, to harm people at the slightest disagreement, and to suck the vitality of innocent people.
A look of hesitation appeared on the face of the Minotaur Ghost King: "Your Majesty, the invasion of Sun Kingdom was done under the orders of the Ghost Emperors, and we Ghost Kings also obeyed the orders."
When Yao Yun heard this, he immediately frowned. Could it be that the Izumo Kingdom's methods are so powerful that they can even use the Ghost Emperor of the Kongming Ghost Realm?
The Minotaur Ghost King remembered something again, and continued: "Your Majesty, Lao Niu heard that the Ghost Emperors have made an agreement with the Izumo Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom. We, the Kongming Ghost Realm, will attack the Sun Kingdom. If other countries do not intervene, the Sun Kingdom will be defeated."
, the city belongs to all countries, and the Kongming Ghost Realm does not occupy an inch of land."
At this moment, Yao Yun suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Sun Kingdom was invaded by ghosts and all countries turned a blind eye. It turned out that there were huge interests behind it.
"So the Kongming Ghost Realm is completely here for the Sun Kingdom. How have we offended you? You are going to kill our Sun Kingdom!" At this time, Sun Muyue suddenly broke out, her eyes full of desolation and anger.
Sun Muyue's sudden outburst shocked everyone.
However, everyone soon remembered that Sun Muyue used to be from the Sun Kingdom, and judging from his temperament and conversation, he must have been a nobleman. After the Sun Kingdom fell, he became a slave.
Everyone looked at Sun Muyue with sympathetic and concerned eyes.
"Why are you exterminating the Sun Kingdom! Why!" Sun Muyue cried, pointing at the Minotaur King, and asked again.
The Minotaur King touched his head and was at a loss. He was trying to say something, but his face turned red. He didn't know whether he was ashamed or innocent.
Yao Yun smoothed things over and said, "Niutou, do you know why the ghost emperors of the Kongming Ghost Realm are targeting the Sun Kingdom?"
The Bull-headed Ghost King surrendered to the Xi Kingdom. Naturally, Yao Yun did not want to see the embarrassment between the two parties, so he opened his mouth to rescue the Bull-headed Ghost King. The Bull-headed Ghost King was also the ghost emperor who obeyed the orders of the Kongming Ghost Realm. Even if he had to settle accounts, it would be with the ghosts of the Kongming Ghost Realm.
On the emperor.
The Bull-headed Ghost King: "Your Majesty, this old cow doesn't know, but the rumor is that it is the will of God. The Sun Kingdom has offended the gods, and the gods will punish you!"
Sun Muyue burst into tears and said in a tearful tone: "Our Sun Kingdom priests have never been neglectful, how could we offend the gods!"
The Minotaur King was silent and said nothing.
You can hear a needle drop in the main hall.
Yao Yun didn't know what to say for a while. He sympathized with Sun Guo and Sun Muyue for what happened, but the tragedy had already happened, and it was useless to say any words of comfort.
Finally, Yao Yun summoned the Minotaur Ghost King alone and asked about the Ghost Stone.
When the Bull-headed Ghost King saw that the King also wanted Ghost Stones, the expression on his face was wonderful. After a while, he took out six Ghost Stones and offered them reluctantly. The Bull-headed Mountain was covered with teardrops.
"Your Majesty, Lao Niu only has six ghost stones. I have worked hard to save these for several years. I usually don't want to use them until the critical moment of practice..."
Yao Yun didn't talk nonsense and took the ghost stone.
The ghost stone is prismatic in shape. A ghost stone is about half the size of a baby's fist. It is black in color and crystal clear. Its surface also exudes a dead black mist. It can contain strange power and looks mysterious and profound.
"Good stuff! No wonder it makes the Ghost King's heart flutter." Yao Yun commented sincerely.
The Bull-headed Ghost King was pitiful and looked at Yao Yun with resentment: "Your Majesty, this is my old Niu's entire net worth."
Yao Yun needs two hundred ghost stones, and his need for ghost stones is more urgent than that of the Minotaur King. Of course, he will not return it to the Minotaur King. His mind changed and he said: "Did Izumo Kingdom promise to give you ghost stones?
Can you still get the Ghost Stone after your defeat?"
Minotaur Ghost King: "The people of Izumo Kingdom say that the Ghost Stone can only be obtained by laying down Licheng. However, the ghosts in Kongming Ghost Realm are not vegetarians. They have to take it even if they don't want to take it. The Sky Thunder Ghost King and the Tree Demon Ghost King must have begun to prepare to blackmail them out."
Izumo Kingdom, Your Majesty, I, Old Niu, have also thought of blackmailing Izumo Kingdom, I don’t know..."
Yao Yun frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Old Niu, if you surrender to Gu, will you not arouse the suspicion of other ghost kings when you return?"
Minotaur Ghost King: "No, Your Majesty, Lao Niu truly surrenders to Your Majesty, and there is no witchcraft on him. Lao Niu can just prevaricate at will!"
When Yao Yun heard what the Minotaur King said, his eyes suddenly lit up. If this was true, then he could boldly "blackmail" Izumo Country.
"Okay! Minotaur Ghost King, then you should cultivate yourself in [Ten Thousand Ghosts Come to the Banner], go out as soon as possible to join the Sky Thunder Ghost King and the Tree Demon Ghost King, and blackmail the Izumo Kingdom. If you behave well, I can give it to you depending on the situation.
Leave a ghost stone or two behind!"
When the Minotaur King heard this, he almost fainted with happiness and quickly bowed his head.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, you are so generous!"
