At this time, Shuo Ling's mouth curled up slightly and his eyes narrowed slightly, "I see. No wonder I didn't hear the news of Xiling sending troops again along the way."
Along the way, he was still curious about what Xiling meant. If he won the battle, why not pursue the victory? After hearing what Hou Shi said today, it seemed like this.
"Shuohou came here this time to ask me to deal with Zhan You?" Hou Shi said at this time.
Shuo Ling nodded at this time, "Yes, the Gu King should know how powerful this Nightmare Gu is. If the Xiling King really uses this to break through the border fortress, I'm afraid the people will suffer."
"In that case, let me go with you." Hou Shi nodded at this time, his eyes deep.
I saw Shuo Ling saying to Hou Shi at this time, "With King Gu's help, King Xiling's plan will not succeed."
"When will we set off?" Hou Shi looked at Shuo Ling and asked.
Shuo Ling lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "According to what King Gu said, the reason why Xiling has not sent out troops now must be because Zhan You is weak, but after some days, he should start planning again Troops are sent to the border."
"Okay, Marquis Shuo, wait for me here. I'm going to pick up something and then head to the border fortress." Hou Shi nodded and walked towards his bed.
Shuo Ling hummed.
Then Hou Shi opened the quilt on the bed, opened a hidden compartment on the bed board, took out an object from it, put it on his body, then stood up, and then walked to Shuo Ling, "Shuo Hou, let's go."
Shuo Ling nodded, and Hou Shi walked forward and opened the door.
The two walked out of the house.
Not long after he walked out of the room, Su Lai, Hou Shi's eldest disciple, walked towards him. When he walked to Hou Shi, he looked at Shuo Ling who was walking with his master and couldn't help but frown slightly.
He was on duty today, but no one of them noticed when Shuo Ling entered. Then Su Lai raised his hands to Hou Shi and looked at Shuo Ling and said, "Master, this..."
"Don't be rude." Hou Shi glanced at Su Lai at this time.
Su Lai then lowered his head, raised his hands and saluted Shuo Ling, "Shuo Hou."
"Stay back. I'm not in Wu Gu City these days, so I have to be careful in everything." Hou Shi then said to Su Lai.
After hearing this, Su Lai quickly asked, "Master, do you want to leave the city?"
"Well, that's right. There are some things outside that I need to deal with. It could take as little as ten days and a half, or as long as several months." Hou Shi nodded and said immediately.
Su Lai frowned slightly at this moment, "Master, but those outside..."
"If something really happens, wait until I come back before making a decision." Before Su could finish what he said, Hou Shi interrupted him.
"Yes, I obey, my disciple." Su Lai stopped talking at this time and cupped his hands in response.
Then Hou Shi said to Shuo Ling, "Let's go."
The two of them left the courtyard and rode out of Wu Gu City.
At this moment, Su Lai looked at the back of his master and Shuo Ling leaving, and couldn't help but be puzzled as to what was going on that made his master so concerned at this critical moment.
You must know that Wugu City has been very uneasy recently. Originally, with the master here, those who made trouble would be tolerant. If those people knew that the master was out of the city, who knows what trouble would happen.
Thinking like this, Su Lai couldn't help but sigh, but then he thought about it, could it be that the master was giving him a test at this time
No matter what it is, during the days when Master is not in Wugu City, he will definitely not let any trouble occur in Wugu City.
Just after leaving Wu Gu City, Shuo Ling asked, "Judging from the words of Gu King's disciples, what happened in Wu Gu City?"
"To be honest, Wu Gu City has not been very peaceful recently, but with me in Wu Gu City, they don't dare to do anything." After hearing this, Hou Shi slowed down his horse and walked with Shuo Ling.
Shuo Ling's mouth curled up slightly at this time, and then he asked, "The Gu King will follow me to the frontier fortress, you are not afraid..."
"They have to be trained sooner or later." Before Shuo Ling could finish speaking, Hou Shi sighed and said.
After hearing this, Shuo Ling had a slight smile on his cold face, "King Gu takes a long-term view."
"Shuo Hou is too modest. When I leave Wugu City, some people can't hide their tails." Hou Shi said with deep eyes at this time.
At this time, Shuo Ling couldn't help but praise, "When the Gu King returns to Wu Gu City, he will catch them all again. This is a wonderful strategy."
Houshou glanced at Shuoling at this moment, then pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and then ran forward again.
Shuo Ling shook his head at this time, then waved his whip and followed.
Xiling.
"How did things go?" Zhan You asked Fengxian at this time.
Fengxian smiled and said at this time, "Master, don't worry, everything is done well. People in the Xiling army already have suspicions in their hearts."
"That's great! Now that my body has recovered a little, we will go to attack the border fortress in three days." Zhan You nodded at this time and said.
Then Zhan You said, "I will send people to keep an eye on it in the next few days."
"Yes, master." Fengxian responded and walked out of the room.
After Feng left first, Zhan You stood up and walked to the hidden compartment where the Nightmare Gu King was placed.
Then Zhan You took out the Nightmare Gu King from the secret compartment and opened it.
The Nightmare Gu King hesitated to drink Zhan You's blood for a long time, and the Nightmare Gu King now looked dark red all over.
Then he took out the dagger from his body, put his left wrist on top of the jar containing the Nightmare Gu King, and then cut his wrist with the knife.
At the moment of the cut, it was obvious that his face twitched slightly.
He must have fed the Nightmare Gu King too many times, and Zhan You probably had some resistance to this deep down in his heart.
When the blood dripped into the jar, the Nightmare Gu King smelled the blood and hurriedly crawled over and started eating.
When the blood on Zhan You's wrist stopped flowing out, Zhan You covered the jar containing the Nightmare Gu King and then put it back into the secret compartment.
Zhan You was sitting on the bed at this time, skillfully wrapping his wrists with cloth.
Then he raised his bandaged hand, knowing that the suffering he had suffered in the past few years was not in vain. In two days, when the Dongling army was distracted, it would be a good opportunity to break through the border fortress.
After he broke through the frontier fortress, he took advantage of King Xiling's happiness and asked the army to send troops to Wugu City. At that time, the people he had contacted Wugu City before would come to make peace with each other, and captured Hou Shi in one fell swoop. The position of king is his.
Thinking of this, Zhan You couldn't help but reveal an evil smile. He wanted to let the people of Wu Gu City and his father know that it was wrong to pass the position of Gu King to Hou Shi. Only he is suitable to be the Gu King!
At this time, Zhan You had tears in his eyes. He didn't know whether he was excited or had something else in mind.
At this time, Mo Li had arrived at the military camp at the border fortress.
After showing the token, he rode into the military camp.
We were led to General Lee's tent.
In General Lee's tent.
"How was the investigation of this matter? Do you know who said the words?" General Li asked General Guo at this time.
Guo Shenjiang shook his head at this time, and then clasped his hands and said, "General, I went to ask those people who went to the kitchen today. Those people had all seen that person's appearance, and took them to identify him, but they didn't find out that day. The one they were talking about.”
"Have you asked them if they found anything wrong with the person who said the army was short of food that day?" General Li asked immediately.
I saw Guo Shenjiang put down his hand at this time, "The last general went to inquire in person and said that this person is a bit unfamiliar."
It seems that as Xiao Mu said, it was the Xiling people who sneaked into the military camp with the purpose of shaking the morale of the army. After a few days, they took advantage of the panic of our army to attack the border fortress again.
"I understand, go down." General Li nodded, then sighed and said,
Just as General Li finished speaking, a voice came from outside the tent, "General Li, Mr. Mo, the man next to the Marquis, has arrived."
"Quickly, let him in quickly." General Li said quickly at this time.
Immediately, Mo Li walked in, walked up to General Li, raised his hands and saluted him, "General Li."
"Master Mo, you have worked hard on your journey. Where is your Marquis? Didn't you say that we came together?" General Li said and glanced outside, but did not see Shuo Ling's figure. He couldn't help but frown, and then asked Mo Li.
Li Moli smiled at this time, "My Lord Marquis came with me, but when we were building the border fortress, my Lord Marquis said he wanted to go to Wugu Mountain first."
"Going to Wugu Mountain? Did Shuohou tell me what we were going there for?" General Li frowned and asked.
I saw Mo Li shaking his head at this time, "My Marquis only said that this matter is related to those weird people in Xiling? He didn't say much else."
"Are you related to those weirdos in Xiling? Could it be..." General Li frowned at this moment, suddenly looked at Mo Li, and nodded before he could say anything.
Why didn't he think of it before? How could there be such a divine man, so invulnerable and so powerful!
After Mo Li said this, he suddenly realized that there was indeed a Wu Gu Mountain not far from the border fortress, and the people on the mountain were all masters of preparing Gu insects.
There must be some witch and Gu masters colluding with Xiling. Thinking of this, General Li couldn't help but nodded, and then asked Mo Li, "According to the speed of the Marquis, do you think we can reach the frontier in two days?"
"There should be no problem." After hearing this, Mo Li lowered his eyes slightly, thought for a moment and then said.
General Li nodded at this time. If so, he would be more relieved. Shuo Ling has been resourceful since he was a child. It can be said that he has truly inherited the true legacy of General Hou.
Presumably, when he went to Wu Gu Mountain this time, he must be looking for the Gu King Hou Shi.
The Gu King must have known that someone was abusing witchcraft and using it on the battlefield. Whether it was because he was from Dongling or he wanted to correct his family tradition, the Gu King would definitely come to help.
These days, since Xiling attacked the frontier fortress, he has not shown a smile on his face. Today is the first time.
Then General Li said to Mo Li, "Young Master Mo, you have been working hard all the way. In this case, you go down and rest first, and we will talk about other things when the Marquis comes."
"Yeah." Li Li nodded in agreement.
General Li looked at General Guo at this time, "General Guo, Mr. Mo, please send him to Mr. Xiao to rest first."
"Yes, general." General Guo Shen responded, then turned around and walked to Mo Li.
