Wu Dongfang didn't answer immediately. Jiang Yu's implication was obvious. Only if he agreed to help would Jiang Yu tell him who the Nine Nether Ghost King was.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Dongfang said, "This matter is not trivial. I will give you an answer in seven days."
"Okay." Jiang Yu stood up from his seat and bowed his hands to the two of them, "I have to go elsewhere, so don't bother me. I will come back at noon in seven days."
"We'll see you off." Wu Dongfang and Xun Shuang also stood up.
Xun Shuang walked a few steps quickly and opened the door to the main hall. Jiang Yu stepped out. When he reached the outside of the hall, he rushed to the two of them and raised his hands again, "You two, please stay."
Wu Dongfang and Xun Shuang nodded.
Jiang Yu did not leave in the yard, but walked out of the gate before turning away from the ground, shaking his body and transforming into a huge black-feathered strange bird that fluttered into the sky, chirped three times, said goodbye again, and then said goodbye to The south flies away
"Before I came, did she directly or indirectly reveal who she wanted you to save?" Wu Dongfang watched the strange bird gradually go away.
"No." Xun Shuang shook his head, "This woman is very smart and speaks impeccably. Apart from the things she took the initiative to tell us, it is difficult to hear any additional clues from her words."
Wu Dongfang nodded. Just as Xun Shuang said, Jiang Yu spoke impeccably. Previously, he only took the initiative to tell the reasons and motivations for their war. He asked about the number of people. As for who those people were, Jiang Yu didn't mention a word. .
"If the situation is still unclear after seven days, how should we reply to her?" Xun Shuang asked. She knew very well that Wu Dongfang used a delaying strategy in order to use this period of time to observe the situation and assess the situation.
"I didn't reject her directly because she was very kind and polite to us, but these are not worthy of our help." Wu Dongfang pointed to the southeast when he said this, "Not long ago, I went to the Mu tribe and talked to Fei Xuan After discussing this matter, what we mean is that we will not help each other. I don’t have a good impression of these two people. If they only bother the Tu tribe, that’s it. If they dare to harm the interests of the four tribes, we will never tolerate it. No matter which side of the people harms the interests of the four tribes, they will be killed."
"Kill?" Xun Shuang looked at Wu Dongfang in confusion.
Wu Dongfang then remembered that Xun Shuang didn't know what happened to the Tu people recently, so he briefly described to her what happened after the three realms were connected, including Si Shaokang's attitude and the details of his fight with the gods.
"They don't have an advantage in terms of numbers. The gap is too huge. Without our help, they may not be the opponents of the gods." Xun Shuang said.
"Not necessarily." Wu Dongfang shook his head and said.
"Why do you say that?" Xun Shuang tilted his head and looked at Wu Dongfang.
"The connection between the three realms lasts for half a month. It's the second day now, and it will be the ninth day in seven days. By that time, they will most likely have started fighting. Even if we agree to save people, it will take time to reach the destination. God must know Where powerful people are sealed, they will leave people to guard them outside the confinement. If you want to save people, you must first defeat the guarding gods. This also takes time. After all, even if this person is rescued, it is likely that he will not have time to participate in the main event. There's a war." Wu Dongfang said.
"What do you mean?" Xun Shuang asked with a frown.
"I suspect she may have two purposes for coming here this time. One is to ask for help, and the other is to express her position. Even if we don't agree to save people, at least we know that their attitude towards us is relatively kind. In this way, she has indirectly achieved Hold on to our goal."
"It's possible," Xun Shuang nodded slowly, "If she desperately needed our help, she wouldn't have agreed to the seven-day period so readily."
"Yes, just do what I just said. Don't make your position clear. We are the only four tribes that can participate in the war now. It will be very risky to fight with them. If they don't come to provoke us, let's not meddle in their own business. That’s fine. But once they harm our tribe or our interests, then we can only declare war on them.”
"Okay, stay in seclusion and wait and see what happens." Xun Shuang nodded in agreement.
"By the way, have the spies you planted in the Tu tribe withdrawn?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Xun Shuang asked.
"The Jin tribe has not placed spies in the Tu tribe, and the information is very limited. It is not appropriate for us to appear in the Tu tribe's territory during this period." Wu Dongfang said.
"I will forward the news to the Jin clan in a timely manner so that you will always know what is happening in Jiuzhou." Xun Shuang said.
"Well, that's what I mean. If there's nothing else to do, I'll leave first. Don't leave your weapons during this period to avoid being stolen." Wu Dongfang warned the four of them that their weapons can kill gods. Fei Xuan's Minghong Sword has already been Being snatched away, the Wood Clan's spells were not very powerful to begin with. After losing the Minghong Sword, Fei Xuan's combat effectiveness was reduced by 70%. If something really happened, only the three of them would be able to go into battle.
Saying goodbye to Xun Shuang, Wu Dongfang fled back to the Jin clan. This was an extraordinary period and he could not stay outside for a long time and had to stay behind.
I don’t know where the prince has gone. Fan Tong has just established telepathy with him, and the novelty has not faded. He has been waiting for him to call and drive. Wu Dongfang’s divine command commanded him to play some games with it, which can not only practice control but also enhance feelings. At this time, Fantong is no longer as lively and naughty as he was when he was a child. It won't take long for Fantong to truly become an adult. Once he becomes an adult, Fantong will change from a cute pet to a comrade who fights side by side. Then he will definitely not be as cute as he is now.
Early the next morning, the Shui Tribe's messenger bird arrived. It was a kite with two bamboo tubes tied to its legs. Inside the bamboo tubes were two rolls of linen that recorded news. First, most of the soldiers from Kyushu of the Tu Tribe were trapped by invisible barriers. In various military camps, these soldiers have been on hunger strike since yesterday morning. The second news is that eight gods left the Xia capital and went west last night and have not come back until now.
When the prince stole the underwear, he had already seen the soldiers trapped. The soldiers were naturally trapped by the Yellow Emperor's old troops, that is, the gods. Before, he only knew that the soldiers were trapped. He didn't know whether the soldiers were trapped because they had been possessed by ghosts from the underworld, or whether it was a precautionary measure taken by the gods to prevent ghosts from possessing them. Now he knows, One hundred thousand Yin soldiers in the underworld have possessed the Tu soldiers, otherwise those soldiers would not go on a hunger strike.
In addition, the gods only trapped those soldiers but did not take action to drive away the ghosts that possessed them. There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that the gods were too busy and had no time to drive away the ghosts that possessed the soldiers. Second, the gods cannot drive away those ghosts.
The gods at this time were not exactly the same as the gods that modern people know. Their bodies were condensed by spiritual energy and were not their original physical bodies. This situation is somewhat similar to the corpses that became immortals in modern legends, and the corpses that became immortals were in the gods. It belongs to a relatively low level, which is very different from the immortals who ascended in physical form and ascended in golden body.
Previously, the Nine Nether Ghost King and Mirage Dragon had massacred human wizards. When he interrogated the Fire Tribe Celestial Masters whose bodies were controlled by the spirits of the underworld, he learned from them that the purpose of the Ghost King's massacre of wizards was to prevent them from driving away the possessed people. As for the ghosts of soldiers in the world, if the gods can drive away the souls that possess the soldiers, there is no need for the ghost kings to kill the wizards, because killing the wizards has no practical significance.
Therefore, it is very likely that the gods were unable to drive away the possessing ghosts and sealed them. If this is the case, then these 100,000 soldiers will become the burial objects of this battle. The gods will not let them out, and the ghost king will not Those ghosts will be recalled, and the final result of the stalemate will be that these 100,000 soldiers starve to death.
The second news was that eight gods had left the Xia Capital. He had fought against the gods before. None of those gods seemed to know how to teleport. It was precisely because they couldn't teleport that they were killed by the Shui Tribe when they left the Xia Capital. The spies saw that they did not come back after leaving. This situation shows that the war may be tight in the periphery, and some of the gods who stayed behind went out to help guard the seal and confinement.
The Shui Tribe had fought with the Tu Tribe before, and spies were stationed in Kyushu. Before noon, kites flew in again, and there were two battles between heaven and man in Liangzhou and Jingzhou. Both battles took place at night, in inaccessible places. There are barren mountains and ridges, so the spies have no way of knowing the specific battle situation, but they can observe from a distance. After the war is over, one place is still guarded by gods, while the other place is in a mess and no one is left to guard it. The situation shows that one of the two rescue operations by Emperor Yan's old team was successful, and the other ended in failure. It can be seen from this that the gods on the Yellow Emperor's side are not all drunkards and ricebags, and there are also serious enemies.
Near noon, the prince was about to go out for a stroll again. Wu Dongfang stopped him, told him about Jiang Yu's incident and the news about Shui Tribe's transfer, and asked for his opinion.
"There is this person who seems to have resentment that lingers after he drowns and turns into a bird. You are right not to express your stance. Once you express your stance, you will offend others," the prince said.
"I have no doubts about her origins. What do you think of the current battle situation?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"I'm optimistic about this group of people below." The prince said.
"Why?" Wu Dongfang asked. The following group of people mentioned by the prince were naturally referring to the former subordinates of Emperor Yan.
"You're stupid. If they are really powerful, why should they keep the restrictions? Why don't they just dig them out and fight them head-on?" The prince curled his lips, "They have been trying to prevent Yan Emperor's old troops from breaking the seal, which means they can't beat the seal. If you can beat those people, wouldn't it be easier to just dig them out and beat them to death with a stick?"
Wu Dongfang frowned and said nothing. What the prince said did make sense, but the prince did not have a good impression of the Yellow Emperor's clan. It hated Dayu, hated the house and the bird, and even the descendants and ancestors of the family also hated it. One-sided.
After the prince finished speaking, he yawned and left. Wu Dongfang told him to have lunch before going out, and he asked someone to have a drink with him.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye. On the morning of the fourth day when the three realms were connected, Si Ruo came.
"Why are you here?" Wu Dongfang pointed to the seat on one side of Siruo.
Si Ruo did not sit down, but quickly walked to the bottom of the altar and said, "Holy witch, something happened..."
