Chapter 45: The enemy is at the gate. The leader is captured by the dog-barbarian evil god...
The court of the Dog-barbarian king.
The national teacher Zando stood on the top of the mountain for countless times, trying to communicate with the gods from outer space.
According to Mahakala's instructions, he and many other gods will be resurrected soon, and the world will be in chaos. However, for the Inuyi, this is a golden opportunity to rule the Central Plains, wash off their reputation as barbarians, and become the common ruler of the world.
After receiving this instruction, the lights in the royal court were lit for seven days and seven nights. The Inuyi royal family and the mages led by the national master discussed from day to night, and argued from night to day.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot and their hair was disheveled. In the end, the Imperial Master's opinion was the most firm and was recognized by the vast majority of the powerful people.
The opportunity given by God must not be missed. The Inuyi will mobilize the entire country to prepare for the coming chaos.
In this case, they can no longer fear the power of the Zhou Kingdom and hide in the wild lands of the southwest.
They must at least occupy three states in advance before they can have a chance of ruling the world.
Before starting preparations for the war, Zando asked the gods for help. With the national strength of the Inuyi, it would not be difficult to capture a city, but after that, facing the wrath and counterattack of the Zhou State, it would be a headache to defend the city.
The national teacher asked the great god to bless and protect those fearless dog-barbarian soldiers.
The god replied that this was a war between humans and the gods could not intervene at will, but there was a strong person in Zhou State who was beyond your reach. If you lure her over, he will send down a transformed god and personally eliminate her.
The national teacher quickly chanted the name of the god with gratitude, and then asked, but how do we know where that strong man is?
The god continued to answer, "You arrange people to infiltrate the Zhou Kingdom. If you meet someone who is surrounded by important people but has no official position, that person must be her."
The imperial teacher said that although this method was very good, it was too vague. Some royal relatives and nobles liked to travel incognito. How could we distinguish them?
The god said patiently, "When you see her, the fear in your heart will tell you that it is her. Don't hesitate, bring her to me."
The state teacher agreed and sent the best fighters in the country to the cities on the border of Zhou State to find out the whereabouts of the strong man and collect intelligence about Zhou State.
The appearance of the Quanyi people is somewhat different from that of the Zhou people. In order not to attract the attention and suspicion of Zhou officials, the national teacher also suggested that the king ask for the princess of Zhou in marriage. On the one hand, it would be more convenient to send people into Zhou, and on the other hand, it would show submission and let Zhou relax its vigilance.
The king humbly accepted his suggestion, submitted a letter of allegiance to the Emperor of Zhou, and lowered his posture very low.
As a result, Zhou Guo did not become suspicious, and all plans went smoothly.
When the national teacher saw the heroic woman in crimson clothes and jade belt with the help of the dog-barbarian soldiers, he suddenly understood why the gods said that the fear in his heart would tell him that it was her, it was definitely her.
Even when facing the big monster in the mountains, the national teacher had never had this feeling. Under the smooth human skin that looked like the moon in the clouds, there was some unspeakable essence hidden.
It seemed to be fear itself, the master of nightmares, and the source of all cruel truths in the world.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the Imperial Master still felt a chill down his spine.
He quickly looked away and changed his original idea.
He originally thought that he only needed to arrange a few Inu-barbarian soldiers to provoke her, then use secret techniques to escape and lead her to the place designated by the gods.
After really seeing her appearance, the national teacher realized that he could only sacrifice the half-finished kingdom of God that had not been completed recently.
Only a sufficiently generous reward could attract such a monster that even the gods would pay attention to.
And in the kingdom of God, the incarnation of God can exert the greatest power.
The kingdom of God is a self-contained entity, with the gods as its absolute rulers. No outsider can leave without permission.
Of course, this does not mean that we doubt the possibility that the gods may not be able to crush that strong person. No matter how strong she is, she is just a mortal. How can she compare with the gods?
It’s just that the national teacher is being cautious, fearing the slightest possibility of letting the powerful man escape.
Fortunately, the strong man was confident of his strong strength and did not take his opponent seriously at all, and recklessly broke into their trap.
When she first arrived at the entrance to the Kingdom of God, the Imperial Master was worried for a long time, fearing that she would discover something was wrong and turn away.
Now that the Kingdom of God has been opened, the State Master breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he no longer needed to worry.
Before the army set out, mobilized the secret agents in the city, and coordinated internal and external forces, the national teacher prayed for the last time, hoping to hear the instructions of the gods again and receive blessings and gifts before the war.
The strange thing was that although the god responded to him, his words were full of words that he could not understand.
This was the first time that the oracle was so obscure and difficult to understand. The national teacher spent a long time trying to decipher it but still couldn't figure out the meaning of the words.
He came down the mountain worriedly and saw the soldiers carrying bronze drums ready to go. The national teacher hurried into the royal court and reported the matter to the king.
The king smiled and said, "Zandha, you were always confident before, weren't you? Now, when it's the final sprint, why are you discouraged?"
Seeing that the national teacher was still hesitant, the king called Prince Nuzadu and asked him to tell the national teacher the news reported by the spy.
Nuzadu said confidently: "After the Zhou strongmen entered the Kingdom of God, there was no movement. It is estimated that they were suppressed by Mahakala, or even eaten. The gates of Sizhou City were wide open, and no one thought that our road was built for the Heavenly Dog Divine Soldiers. The soldiers rode on the Heavenly Dog and advanced at full speed. It only took two hours for them to reach the city of Sizhou. The Zhou people are calm in culture and playful in martial arts. I doubt whether they can still select a general to fight."
He turned and looked in the direction of Sizhou City, his smile showing his confidence in victory: "Once we take Sizhou City, I will make the Princess of Zhou kneel before me and use her precious hands to wash my feet."
The state teacher looked at his arrogant expression and felt even more uneasy. He was about to give some advice when the king stood up and slammed his palm on the table: "The Zhou Kingdom has been rude and has looked down on us for many years. Our ancestors asked the court to grant us a country name, but their emperor called us barbarians."
The king exhaled a breath of anger, waved his fist and said: "Today, we will let the people of Zhou see the power of our Heavenly Dog. That piece of fertile land will be ours!"
"Nuzadu."
"exist!"
"Bring the army and set off! Go and take back the city that should have belonged to us, take back your wife, and spread the name of the Heavenly Dog Kingdom to the world!"
"I obey your orders, my child."
The imperial teacher, who was unable to get a word in, blushed and followed the prince out of the courtyard. He saw Nuzadu raising his sword and shouting "We will win". The dog-barbarian soldiers were beating bronze drums and riding on their divine dogs, marching towards Sizhou.
His heartbeat began to speed up and his whole body began to tremble. For some reason, the more confident the king and the prince were, the more flustered and anxious he felt.
He stared at the black wave that was like marching ants for a while, then turned around and rushed back to the royal court. He picked up a pen at random and frantically began to decipher the obscure oracle.
I hope it's not what he thinks...
Governor's Mansion.
Teacher Nie Hong knelt in front of Princess Changning Jiang Lingyi and said sincerely: "Please let me see the master again. I am willing to bear the pain of imprisonment on behalf of my junior sister."
Jiang Lingyi frowned slightly, signaled the maid to help the teacher up, and sighed, "It was your junior sister who did something wrong, why do you have to suffer so much?"
Nie Hong refused to stand up and only said, "It is unjust to stand aside and watch fellow disciples in trouble."
Jiang Lingyi shook her head: "Her misfortune is her own fault. Teacher, please don't dwell on it. If I don't agree, will you abandon me?"
"I dare not." Nie Hong said sternly, "The princess's wedding is coming up soon, and this is the time when she needs help from the entertainment teacher. If I abandon the princess because of personal matters, it would be disloyalty."
"In that case, please don't make things difficult for me anymore." Jiang Lingyi once again ordered people to come forward, one on the left and one on the right to help Nie Hong up. This time, Nie Hong paused and did not refuse.
Jiang Lingyi did not want to interfere in the affairs of Junior Sister Nie Hong. Even if she could use the royal power to force the Demon Hunting Division to release her, how would she respond if the leader of the Duotian Sect, who had to serve her father respectfully and had Taoist priests accompanying him wherever he went, held her accountable?
What's more, the Demon Hunting Bureau might not listen to her instructions. She has the title of a princess and the dignity of a princess, but if she really wants to do something, let alone in Sizhou City, even in this small governor's mansion, she cannot make her orders flow and be enforced.
Her father taught her that if she could not guarantee that her orders would be effectively executed, she should not give such orders, otherwise, it would only undermine her authority.
Jiang Lingyi studied this knowledge carefully. She knew that on this journey of thousands of miles, an unpredictable bloody storm would be waiting for her.
I don't know if she can control this foreign tribe before the chaos comes. It will be a disaster for her and the Great Zhou...
"Princess." "Your Highness."
A low voice and a loud voice mixed together sounded at the same time, interrupting her thoughts.
Jiang Lingyi raised her head and saw that it was General Meng who was escorting her to the Quanyi, and his lieutenant Wei Xianfeng.
"Generals, please don't be polite." Seeing that the two men looked worried and walked hurriedly, Jiang Lingyi asked hurriedly, "Did something happen?"
General Meng cupped his hands and said, "The scouts patrolling outside the city discovered that a large number of dog-barbarian soldiers are moving towards Sizhou City."
Dog-barbarian soldiers?
The marriage alliance failed to be concluded, but the dog-barbarian people actually dared to tear up the alliance.
Jiang Lingyi was furious. Just as she was about to speak, two people walked quickly into the yard from outside. One was a man and the other was a woman. Their facial features were somewhat similar to hers. They were her parents.
"General Meng, you are here too." When Governor Jiang saw the two generals, his expression eased a little, and he said in a deep voice, "Please escort the princess and leave Sizhou City immediately."
"Father?"
Jiang Lingyi took a step forward and was about to express her disapproval, but her mother Fanniang had already grasped her hand and said softly, "My son, that Inuyi prince might be coming for you. If you leave first, he might chase you, and then both father and mother will be safe."
Jiang Lingyi was stunned, looking at her mother who was serious and trying to make an expression that said "I really think so": "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"
My mother really understood her and knew that she would definitely not want to go alone, so she came up with such an excuse.
Fanniang's face froze, and she turned to look at Governor Jiang: "I told you to practice your expressions in front of the mirror, so you're making trouble for me here, right?"
Governor Jiang said helplessly: "Madam, my daughter is smart, what does it have to do with me?"
The couple's actions actually diluted the tense atmosphere in the courtyard. General Meng and Wei Xianfeng looked at each other with a smile and said to Jiang Lingyi, "Princess, don't worry. We are here and will not let anyone hurt you."
Governor Jiang looked at his daughter, who had been independent-minded since childhood, and was about to explain the city defense affairs to her in detail to let her know how dangerous this battle was.
Nie Hong, who was standing behind Jiang Lingyi, suddenly said, "Can we ask Sect Master Duotian to come and help? I heard that she just wiped out the great monster in Xili Mountain. If she is here..."
Governor Jiang sighed, his face bitter: "If we can invite the Sect Master, what is there to fear? Ma Daolu found out that the Sect Master has been taken away by the Inuyi Evil God, and we don't know when he will return."
Or maybe she will never come back.
Governor Jiang felt very disappointed, secretly suspecting that the prophecy was wrong or they had found the wrong person.
"Your Excellency, don't panic." Hearing this, Nie Hong showed a look of gratitude. She stayed by the princess' side just for this day. "Let me go and meet the dog barbarians."
At the critical moment, it still depends on her and the entertainment education.
