Amber, the steward of the Izumo Palace, and the Evil Sword Ghost King discussed the attack on Xiguo for a long time. After some talk, the two sides reached an agreement:
Amber's side offered 1,000 ghost stones to invite the Evil Sword Ghost King to send troops to attack the Xi Kingdom. He paid a deposit of 500 ghost stones in advance and gave the remaining ghost stones after the event was completed.
Destroy the [Army of Gods] to obtain two hundred ghost stones;
Capture Xidu to obtain the remaining 300 ghost stones.
A total of one thousand ghost stones.
The two parties made an oath, and the power of their minds imprinted themselves on the animal skin book. After the heaven and earth proved it, this oath would have a huge binding force on the Qi Refiner. Unless there was a fisherman and a fisherman, no one would break the oath.
After Amber got the animal skin, he felt reassured and his face showed joy: "Don't worry, Mr. Evil Knife, we understand the rules. The five hundred ghost stones will be delivered to you soon. Please start dealing with them as soon as possible.
Xiguo, I understand that you didn't want to give a specific time when you made the oath just now, but you can't keep delaying it."
"Don't worry, as long as you get five hundred ghost stones, I will take action. After all, there are still five hundred ghost stones behind, and I know it well."
The Evil Sword Ghost King was very careful when making the oath. He recited the previous oaths word for word according to Amber's wishes, but he was never willing to give a specific time to complete the oath.
This is the loophole of the oath. If there is no strict time requirement, the Evil Sword Ghost King can "break the contract" and defraud the five hundred ghost stones by procrastinating.
Amber actually understood this, but they had no other choice. It was impossible for ghosts to accept restrictions, and it was impossible for him to accept them if it were him.
What's more, due to their weak negotiating position, their side can only hope that the army of ghosts will be tempted by the subsequent ghost stones.
Dealing with ghosts is essentially seeking skin from a tiger, and the risk is extremely high. Amber knows this very well. If he fails to lure them to gain, there will be no better control method.
Although things like oaths are useful, there are too many loopholes that can be exploited.
Amber did not delve into it further. He believed that the ghosts could not resist the temptation of the Ghost Stone, especially since the [Army of Gods] who destroyed the Xi Kingdom were within easy reach for them, so there was no reason to break the contract.
If they could destroy the [Godly Army] of the Xi Kingdom, their goal would have been accomplished. As for attacking the Xi Capital, it was just killing someone with a borrowed knife. Neither the Izumo King nor the housekeeper Amber had any hope.
After An Bo made up his mind, he felt much more at ease, so he smiled and said: "I have another piece of news to tell the general. The Jimo master who killed the enemy in Guanling is still staying in Xiguo. If the general..."
The Evil Sword Ghost King looked calm, not too angry. He just said "Oh" lightly and said: "When the time comes when this general breaks the Xi Kingdom, I will take care of him!"
Amber smiled calmly and nodded, feeling more and more certain in his heart that the Evil Sword Ghost King's attack on Guanling City was 100% bribed by Xi Yunbo. The Evil Sword Ghost King showed no anger at all when he heard about Mr. Jimo, which proved that he and the Guanling Ghost Emperor had a close relationship.
The relationship is not as good as the rumors say, everything is a big conspiracy.
What the king said was accurate, every sentence hit the mark.
Amber was completely relieved now. With the precedent of Uncle Xiyun, this indicates that this powerful army of ghosts can indeed be driven by the ghost stone, and its credibility is not low.
After getting the desired result, Amber left with satisfaction. After a quick trip, Amber returned to Yundu and reported the matter to Izumobo.
When Uncle Izumo learned about this, Wang Yan was overjoyed, held a banquet, and praised Amber highly.
"Well done, hahaha. As long as the army of ghosts agrees, hahaha, let them sweep back and attack Guanling City. When the time comes, the [divine army] of Xi Kingdom will definitely guard the city. When the time comes...ha
Hahahaha, what a joy, let that kid Yao Yun's years of hard work go to waste overnight, there is nothing more joyful than this in the world!"
Uncle Izumo, who had suffered many losses at the hands of Yao Yun before, was finally feeling proud and elated. He was in a great mood and was full of energy. The dull pain in his chest and mouth suddenly disappeared, as if he was welcoming
Second Life is average.
That night, Lord Izumo enjoyed several beauties at once and was very happy.
In a good mood, Mr. Izumo lived a happy life.
The next day, Amber, the steward of the Izumo Palace, did not delay. With the king's order, he took 500 ghost stones from the treasury and escorted an army to the Kongming Ghost Realm to meet the Evil Sword Ghost King.
Seeing the Evil Sword Ghost King, Amber smiled softly: "Master Evil Sword, I have brought five hundred ghost stones!"
The eyes of the Evil Sword Ghost King burst out with longing light: "Open it quickly and show it to me, General!"
Amber smiled and said nothing, then clapped his hands, and the soldier behind him opened the wooden box on the carriage. In an instant, clouds of light bloomed in the dark night, and five hundred ghost stones were piled up together, reflecting each other.
The ghost soldiers, ghost generals and even the ghost king present all had their eyes glowing red!
Urgency and desire are desires that come from the heart, not fake acting.
Amber was very satisfied with the reaction of the ghosts. The more the ghosts wanted the Ghost Stone, the more focused they would be on dealing with Xi Guo, and he would be able to save a lot of worry.
"Master Xie Dao, these five hundred ghost stones are here. You can check them."
"No need, I trust you, general. Children, move the ghost stone away!"
Amber did not stop the ghosts from moving away the ghost stones, but simply said: "Master Evil Knife, this is our first time dealing with each other. These five hundred ghost stones represent our sincerity! However, the subsequent five hundred ghost stones will depend on your sincerity.
Not to mention anything else, it’s just that it’s easy for the general to destroy the [God’s Army].”
The Evil Sword Ghost King nodded nonchalantly: "That's natural. Okay, you can go back."
Amber was quite dissatisfied. He wanted to say something else, but the other party seemed to ignore him. His attitude was completely different from before he got the Ghost Stone.
Amber smiled awkwardly: "Okay, I'm waiting for good news."
Let's talk, Amber returned to Izumo country with his soldiers.
For several days in a row, Lord Izumo and Amber were waiting for the good news about [Yin Bing Yin General], but they still didn't hear about the ghost disaster that broke out in Xi Kingdom.
A month passed and there was still no news. Lord Izumo couldn't wait any longer, so he sent Amber to urge him.
Unexpectedly, after hearing the news, the Evil Sword Ghost King glanced coldly and said calmly: "I tell you, my lord, it's better not to wait for good news. You won't get good news until you die."
What do you mean by this? Amber, who was smiling with a flattering smile, suddenly froze, her heart skipped a beat, her face suddenly sank, and she was filled with anger:
"General Evil Sword, what do you mean?"
The Evil Sword Ghost King waved the evil sword in his hand and smiled evilly: "Literally speaking, I am not stupid, general. You want to borrow a knife to kill people, but at the same time you want to trick me [Yin Bing Yin General]. You, the general, can't tell that."
?”
Amber's face turned pale and he quickly said: "Master Xie Dao must have some misunderstanding?"
The Evil Sword Ghost King chuckled: "A few days ago, the Virtuous Bird Phoenix Emperor appeared in the Xi Kingdom. If I, the general, really listen to your words and attack Xidu, then I [Yin Bing Yin General] will be completely ruined."
Amber cried with a mournful face: "General Evil Sword, if you are not willing to attack Xidu, then you can destroy the [God's Army]. We have sworn this!"
The Evil Sword Ghost King said disdainfully: "The oath does not specify when it will be completed. The worst I can do is not need the five hundred ghost stones behind me. Humph! What I want the most is people with evil intentions. You are not worthy of belief. Go away. I am here.
General, get out before you have any murderous intention, otherwise your life will be at risk!"
A trace of resentment flashed in Amber's eyes. If it weren't for the local territory, he would have wanted to kill someone violently. However, looking at the elite and brave [Yin Soldiers and Yin Generals] in front of him, Amber shrank his neck and left in despair.
After returning to Izumo Country, Amber reported the incident to Izumo in despair.
After hearing this, Uncle Izumo was stunned for three quarters of an hour, and then he realized what he was doing and roared incompetently:
"Qi Sha Gu Ye!"
The entire Izumo Palace was shaken three times by this roar.
