Chapter 497 The Spirit Tribe’s Trick
"Your Highness, the two men in white robes have appeared and are staring at the military camp."
Wangchen said to Abu with a serious expression.
That day, Abu did not come back for a long time. He was worried, so he sneaked into the vicinity of the Udan Imperial City and saw the scene of Abu turning from a spear into a human form.
At that time, there were pursuers and Abu was injured, so Wangchen appeared and protected Abu all the way back to the military camp.
Since Wangchen had already seen it, and the spirits were coming to his door, Abu needed Wangchen to stabilize the morale of the army if anything happened to him, so he told Wangchen the truth about what happened in the city.
At his age, Wang Chen was not too surprised by Abu's identity. He was more worried about the crisis that would come next.
Wu Dan was not to be feared, but he was afraid that the spirit people would use magic to help Wu Dan, so he kept sending people to keep an eye on them, but he didn't expect that the two men would actually come.
Abu pondered, "Teacher, we must not act rashly before they make a move."
Judging from the conversations on those two nights, they were coming for him and would not give up easily, so their appearance here was not surprising.
But as my sister said, they did not chase him to the military camp and arrest him, which shows that they were restrained.
Then just wait and see how the other party reacts.
Wang Chen nodded, "I understand, but it's winter now, and the barracks aren't warm enough. Should we withdraw our troops and return to the city, and then look for an opportunity to attack it when the time is right?"
Although the soldiers have enough food and clothing, keeping warm is a problem.
"Don't move for now. Bring up all the charcoal we have available so the soldiers can combine their tents into one to keep warm. Have the military doctor make some cold-repelling medicine. We'll discuss everything after Sister arrives."
"The princess is coming?"
Wang Chen was slightly surprised, "According to the time, she should be in labor by now."
Abu smiled and said, "It's already born, it's a boy."
He became an uncle.
Wang Chen didn't ask any more questions, but he could probably guess something.
Abu is a spirit, and the princess had a strange adventure. I think there must be some special communication channel between them, so the princess knew the situation here.
That's why she rushed here right after giving birth.
It is of course good to have help. Monk Wangchen had witnessed the abilities of the two immortals in the cave. Although he did not know how this spirit race compared to them, it was certainly not something that ordinary people like him could underestimate.
Otherwise, Abu wouldn't have been injured by them and had to recuperate for several days, but his face was still pale. "Then your highness, please rest well. I will inform everyone now."
"Thank you for your hard work, teacher." Abu thanked him.
Wang Chen waved his hand. When he was sitting on the dragon throne, he also wanted to unify the world. However, he didn't expect that the descendants of the Su family were not up to the task and lost the country.
If the world can be united this time, it would be a disguised fulfillment of his ambition back then.
After so much effort, the unification of Wudan is just around the corner. It is really annoying that those damn spirits come out to cause trouble at this time.
No, he had to keep an eye on those two people himself to prevent them from taking Abu away.
If the commander of an army is captured, the morale of the army will be unstable and bad things will happen.
The two people he was on guard against were also talking about Abu at this time.
These two people are the grandson and grandson of the leader of the Spirit Clan respectively. The older one is called Xu Yao, the grandson of the Spirit Clan elder, and the younger one is the direct descendant of the Spirit Clan, named Ming Sang.
“Cousin, we have now confirmed that the man is a spirit, and we can also sense the energy of the Holy Stone in him, which means that the Holy Stone is in him.
Why don't we just take him back to the clan and let Grandfather destroy his spirit and force the sacred stone out?"
Xu Yao's face darkened. "Do you think I don't want to? But you also saw that the other party is a prince of the royal family and the commander of an army.
I've heard that the Emperor of Wei values this son very much. If we capture him in public, it might provoke the Emperor of Wei to send troops to Penglai. That would be a big commotion, and that wouldn't be good for the spirit race."
Ming Sang was very disdainful, "How can these low-level species find our Penglai Fairy Island? Besides, don't we still have the mermaids as a barrier?
Wouldn't it be enough to just use a few storms to throw them into the sea?"
"Hu Tu, if the Wei Dynasty uses this as an excuse to send 100,000 soldiers to search for Penglai, will you throw all of them into the sea to feed the fish?
By then, how can we conceal the loss of these lives from everyone in heaven and on earth?
Don't you think we Spirits don't have enough to deal with? Besides, Spirits are not allowed to use magic to harm others outside of Penglai."
Seeing Ming Sang's grim expression, and thinking of his favor in front of the clan leader, Xu Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "Ming Sang, have you forgotten what our grandparents have repeatedly told us to do? We must bring this spirit back to the clan, but we can't let them suspect anything of the spirits."
"But when you and I appeared in the Wudan Imperial City before, they said they had to know that we were spirits."
"We were just traveling here and found a spirit that wanted to hurt people, so we forced it to show itself. We didn't do anything else."
Xu Yao's eyes were gloomy. "If the Wudan people attacked in the middle of the night and captured the eldest prince, even if the Emperor of Wei had some suspicions, he would have no evidence to send troops to our spirit tribe."
Ming Sang was very disdainful. "Wudan has been chased to his doorstep. Now he can only hide in the imperial city like a turtle. How dare they sneak into the Wei army camp? Cousin, you think too highly of them."
"What if someone guides me?"
Ming Sang's eyes lit up, "Cousin, are you saying that we should help Wu Dan?"
Then he became confused again, "But didn't my cousin say that we can't use magic to hurt people outside of Penglai?"
Once you kill someone, you will suffer divine punishment and backlash.
Xu Yao curled his lips, "That day we forced the eldest prince to show up at the Wudan city gate. Many people in Wudan saw us. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Wudan is already showing signs of defeat, and King Wudan is now just struggling to survive. The ability of our elves is a godsend for ordinary people like him, and King Wudan will definitely make a desperate attempt.
When the matter is accomplished, we will use the Wei Dynasty to get rid of King Wudan. Who will know that our spirit race is involved in this?
During this period, at most we can use magic to deceive the world, rather than taking people's lives, so the backlash will not be too severe. Besides, have you forgotten that Mingwei is still imprisoned on the holy altar?
She will bear the brunt of the backlash for us. If we can retrieve the Holy Stone, it will be a great achievement, and Grandfather will surely reward us handsomely."
"Good idea, cousin."
Ming Sang's eyes turned, "Don't bother your cousin with such a small matter. I'll do it right away and bring the sacred stone back to the clan as soon as possible so we can return and report back sooner."
"Let's go together. This is the task that Grandfather has assigned to us..."
"My cousin was exhausted from using the spell earlier and should have a good rest. Besides, if my brother doesn't tell me, how would grandfather know that my cousin didn't go?"
Ming Sang interrupted him, "Don't worry, cousin. I'll definitely say it was a job we did together."
After saying this, he left and headed straight for the Udan Palace.
Xu Yao watched him leave, opened his folding fan and waved it slowly. After a while, another white figure appeared. That person said angrily, "Master, Young Master Sang is trying to steal your credit again."
It was obvious that his young master had been following the clan leader for many years, but the credit was always taken away by Young Master Sang, and the clan leader allowed him to be arrogant.
Xu Yao smiled, "It's okay, this is his last time."
Only the idiot Ming Sang believed in such a clumsy plan. If he didn't leave two elves' corpses here, how could he clear himself of suspicion of being an elf?
What's more, there is Wei Qingyan.
The eldest prince was clearly defeated that day, but his talisman was suddenly broken. Perhaps it was Wei Qingyan who was behind it.
It’s just that the idiot Ming Sang doesn’t know it. It’s a pity. He has practiced for many years and has finally cultivated an external body, which needs to be used here.
However, it was worth it to take this opportunity to get rid of the loser Ming Sang and test Wei Qingyan's ability.
