Now it has been five days since Mei Sanniang, the leader of the ghost den, was released. The seven-day period is up in the blink of an eye, but she shows no signs of taking any action. If she continues like this, she will only die. I believe that with her temper, she will never let herself die. Therefore, she must have been planning something these days, and within the next two days, she will definitely launch a large-scale counterattack against us.
It is impossible to let her wait for death in vain. If she is that kind of person, she will never wait for a thousand years, waiting for her to be resurrected again, and finally return to the world, and enjoy seven days of freedom? I think even if she fights to the death, she will not plan like this.
It is already autumn and the wind is blowing. I feel cold after standing here for a long time. The weather changes very quickly. Although I have just hoisted the flag that Yunwen sewed herself, which symbolizes special significance, I should experience this feeling of being the only one more time. But after all, I am a mortal and cannot resist the cold. Therefore, in a moment, I will take the two girls and two hyena maids and go down the city wall together.
But when he reached the halfway point of the stairs, he saw that Hu Lingshang had not followed him. Just as he was about to ask about it, he heard Bai Lu whisper, "Brother Zhou Bo, ignore her. She has been acting weird lately and is always in a daze. I wonder if she is possessed."
I glared at her and said, "Possessed? If she is possessed, how can we survive? Can you keep your mouth shut?"
Bai Lu pursed her lips but didn't dare to refute me. After all, I haven't really settled accounts with her since the last incident. She kept saying that Ling Shang would definitely collude with the enemy, and repeatedly threatened me that she would betray me, leaving me isolated and helpless. As a result, I still doubted Ling Shang even after she saved me. Although this was related to my own misjudgment, her words were more or less misleading.
Three days ago, Lingshang came back to the house and slept with me in the room. If it were normal, the talk of collaborating with the enemy would be just a ridiculous statement. How could she not feel ashamed? She was afraid that I would blame her for this matter, so her attitude is still good now.
"Ling Shang? It's cold up there, let the hyena guards watch over it." I said to Ling Shang.
Ling Shang stared at me for a moment, but didn't come down immediately. Then he said to me, "Flag, city-state, subjects, kingdom, Zhou Lang, you are now His Majesty the King."
I was stunned. Yes, unknowingly, I have occupied a city, governing everything in it, and in charge of all matters that a king should be in charge of. No wonder Hu Lingshang stared at it in a trance for so long, it was because everything changed too fast. Once upon a time, I was just a wanderer on this island, living a precarious life with all the girls, with no food to eat. But in the blink of an eye, I occupied a corner of the island, had subjects, a city-state, orders, and my own cultural output. I am no longer the same person I was before.
I asked Bai Lu and the hyena maid to wait for me on the steps. I went up to the city wall and came to Ling Shang. She pointed to the city and asked me to look. I saw that there were many mud houses and hyena people in the city. Under my guidance, I unknowingly found that this post station was no longer the small post station it used to be. Now this area has new vitality, a tribe has been formed, and everything is in order. It has become the "king's land".
Lingshang approached me and held my hand. I turned around to face her. She always spoke directly to my face, so she said, "Zhou Lang, my beloved, congratulations."
Her pretty face was smiling, and her eyes were lively and affectionate. She looked at me, and I could feel her admiration, her infatuation, and her confidence. In her eyes, perhaps I, a small mortal, was the most powerful man in the world.
I couldn't help but caress her face passionately. In the past, I always felt that I was far away from her. Now I felt confident and was no longer shy when touching our goddess' face. However, my heartbeat still quickened a lot. She responded with tenderness.
But the beauty is fleeting after all. After a moment, she frowned slightly. I also heard the sound of crawling in the woods in front of the city wall, and I also felt the uneasiness. Perhaps at this moment, I was in tune with Lingchang, so I felt the same way as she did. What's more, the weather at this moment was not only cold, but also seemed to be gray. This reminded me of something, the Zhenming Umbrella.
Although the event has not yet arrived, the feeling of impending storm is particularly obvious. I have roughly guessed the ominous sign, so I said: "It seems that the day we establish our prestige and raise the flag has also aroused the desire of some people to compete for hegemony. Now listen to my arrangements. Song Bailu, you will be responsible for continuing to see if the big robot can be used, and try to repair it before the war breaks out. Lingshang, you go to the top of the mountain to see the enemy's situation and report to me later. I will stay and see what content the worker ants sent by Yunwen have brought me in the letters before making a decision."
The girls nodded, and except for the hyena maid who remained by their side, they quickly followed my instructions and left.
The red-spotted worker ant climbed up to the city wall with the long, flat stone and brought it up. I took it and looked at it as usual. Turning over the back of the stone, I saw the charcoal words left by Yunwen, which read: The ant hole is in trouble, come and rescue quickly.
The handwriting was much more sloppy than before, and it was obvious that it was written in a hurry. It seemed that what was supposed to come had come, and was once again heading towards the ant nest. However, it was understandable. After all, there were three vital lifelines there, Yunwen, the fox clan, and the queen ant. If any one of them was killed or threatened, it would lead to the complete collapse of our defense battle. With my slight understanding of the confrontation, I could more or less predict this.
At this time, Hu Lingshang flew down from the top of the mountain and reported the military situation to me. He said, "Although they are hiding very secretly, there are branches shaking in many places at the same time, which shows that something is hidden inside. There may be ambushes here. Zhou Lang, how should we deal with it? Should we follow the original plan?"
"She is indeed the leader of the ghost cave. She is invading the ant cave and has sent ambushes here, which poses a great threat to us and makes it impossible for us to take care of both ends. If we attack the ant cave, she will get the news and withdraw in time. At the same time, she will let her own team and the ambush troops here join forces to attack this city. Then we will be lured away from the mountain and be ambushed. But if we do nothing, our lifeline will be in her hands, giving her enough time to commit the crime. As long as she succeeds, no matter who is coerced, the queen ant, the fox clan or Yunwen, we will collapse without a fight." I analyzed.
Hu Lingshang's forehead was covered with sweat. She said, "No, I can't let the fox tribe suffer any more. Nothing can happen to them!"
As she said this she was about to leave, perhaps thinking of Huahua's death, she seemed particularly uncalm at this moment, I hurriedly grabbed her, when she struggled to break free before, her hands were very strong, I knew I couldn't hold her back, so I could only pull her tightly in my arms, she was panting, her heart was beating.
"Listen to me, Yunwen is also there. I am as nervous as you, but if we act rashly, we will definitely lose," I said.
She calmed down a little, opened her eyes and said, "Zhou Lang, I know you have many abilities. You are the king here, and you can do anything, so there must be a way, right?"
Knowing that she was panicking, I could understand that and could only use that hug to ease her anxiety. I thought carefully about how to deal with it, and fortunately I figured it out. It was a bit risky, but it was the best way at the moment.
"There aren't many ways to deal with it now, we can only use the opponent's trick against him," I said.
"How do we turn the tables on them?" Hu Lingshang asked.
"Since they are decoys, it means they won't take action for the time being. We can secretly put two dummies on the city wall and hang clothes on them, so that the rat people will think we have not left. Then we can take the opportunity to sneak into the ant hole to carry out rescue operations. In this way, we can do it without anyone noticing, and by the time they react, it will be too late." I said.
Ling Shang's eyes sparkled, and she said immediately, "Good idea! Zhou Lang, you are so smart."
But I also know what the flaw is. Once the rat people come for real, these ambushes will be exposed as soon as they attack. Without me, the hyena people will surely lose their composure and collapse without a fight. They will still lose in the end. The key is that I cannot notify the hyena people now, otherwise the plan will not work.
