Chapter 172: Each has his own plan

   Chapter 172

   The bright moon in the sky is gloomy, and the light is cold and still.

   The black and gray earth is cool and cold, as if there is no limit.

   On the wasteland, there is an abandoned ruin that has existed for an unknown time. The stone pillar collapsed, and a space gap suddenly appeared in the dilapidated temple where the ruins were scattered.

The    gap is getting bigger and bigger, like a gate, and there are black armored yin soldiers with neat military appearance and yin qi lingering on their bodies.

  These yin soldiers are holding soldiers, and the queue is neat, but there is no sound.

   There are also horses and chariots derived from Yin Qi.

  Thousands of Yin soldiers came out of the gap at the other end, and then spread out to form a defense against the surrounding.

  The wasteland of the underworld, the cold wind whistling, has no life.

   There are only soul crows that feed on Yin spirits, wandering in the sky in groups.

   They were originally the masters of this ancient ruin, but they were disturbed by the sudden influx of shadow soldiers, and they flew into the air together.

   Soul Crow's body seemed to be made of dense fog, with dark pupils and a shrill cry like a ghost crying.

   Suddenly, in the formation of the shadow soldiers below, a long dagger was projected, piercing a soul crow.

   Soul Crow's body collapsed into a cloud of Yin Qi.

   "Sure enough, it is a gathering of yin, and there is no flesh and blood, even crows are ghosts."

In the center of the shadow soldier array below   , a ghost wearing a high crown whispered.

   At this time, the yin qi left by the slain Soul Crow flowed backwards and landed on one of the yin soldiers who killed it.

   That Yin soldier's aura actually increased a little.

   "Yin spirits can absorb each other's dissipated breath to strengthen themselves?"

  Beside the ghost, Pei Yu, who came to the underworld as a general, stood.

  The more than 3,000 lentils capable of evolving Yin soldiers were led by Pei Yu.

   Through the opened gate of the underworld, more ghosts and ghosts in the ghost town of Mount Tai are swarming out and entering the underworld.

   A yin spirit made a shrill howl that shook the soul.

   They absorb the ubiquitous yin and cold breath of the underworld, and seem to be very comfortable and excited.

  The ghost stood on a carriage and instructed Pei Yu: "Take this place as your foothold, and first investigate the situation nearby."

   "No!" Pei Yu waved his hand.

   The more than 3,000 Yin soldiers immediately divided into ten teams with a hundred people, and galloped away in different directions of the ruins.

  The ghost also got off the carriage and looked left and right.

After they entered the underworld through the Yin Cao, the ruins they came to were very dilapidated, but the regulations were huge, and there were giant columns that collapsed, reaching a height of more than ten feet. If they were in the human world, it should be a palace complex even larger than the Xianyang Palace. .

   There are also broken incantations and symbols on these underworld buildings.

  The ghost stepped forward to check and found that the incantation system was the same as that of the human world. It was the oracle bone inscriptions of the Yin and Shang dynasties: "This underworld is closely related to the human world..."

   Not long after, the Yin soldiers who went out to investigate returned one after another:

   "There is a wasteland outside the ruins. Only this ruin stands alone on the wasteland. After preliminary investigation, there is nothing around."

   Pei Yudao: "This ruin is in the shape of a rectangle, with the position where we came out as the center, galloping left and right, the length is more than ten miles, and going forward and backward, it is also seven or eight miles long.

   Looking from the outside of the ruins, there is a faint glow of incantations inside the ruins.

  The darkness on the wasteland is resisted by the light.

   Wei Chen has let some Yin soldiers spread around to explore the nearby landforms. "

  ——

   Zhao Huaizhong looked through the Kunlun mirror for a moment.

   When he first entered the underworld, he found nothing of value, so he closed the mirror and returned to the Hall of Wuying.

   In the dormitory, Jiang Yan changed out of the complicated clothes of the Queen of Qin during the day.

She was only wearing a white tunic, with rouge-colored head-turning soft shoes, and three thousand blue silk with a black jade-inlaid hairband, which was loosely tucked into a ponytail at the back of her head. Congealed, the close-fitting mid-shirt tightly wraps the increasingly plump figure.

   Seeing Zhao Huaizhong, Jiang Yan greeted him with joy, and bowed his head: "Your Majesty..."

   "After changing clothes, are you going to take a bath?" Zhao Huaizhong looked up and down at his queen.

   Jiang Yan's soft voice should be.

   "That's right." Zhao Huaizhong waved his hand and lifted her into the clear pool for bathing.

   Jiang Ling's soft and low voice echoed in the hall.

   In the clear pool, the water waves rise and fall rhythmically.

  …

   The next morning, Zhao Huaizhong went to court.

   In the bedroom after he left, Jiang Yan was woken up by the maid: "The queen told me yesterday that the maid should wake the queen this morning."

   "Hmm." Jiang Yan opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.

   The scorching sun was born, at eight or nine in the morning.

   She smiled with some relief, she woke up earlier than usual today.

   Resisting the soreness and weakness in his body, Jiang Yan got up from the couch, quickly put on a long apricot-white dress under the service of the waitress, and asked, "Is it appropriate to wear a white dress when I go to see my mother?"

  Jiang Ling was going to greet Zhao Ji and King Zhuangxiang in the rare early morning.

She tilted her head and thought for a while, and then wrapped a silver-white waistband around her waist, and also stuck a red and gorgeous plum blossom tin on her forehead. The Queen of Daqin was dressed delicately, but dressed simply, so she probably wouldn't rob Zhao Ji. limelight.

  Jiang Ling calculated in his heart, and hurried out of Wuying Hall to Zhangtai Palace.

   "It's almost noon, didn't someone send a message yesterday, saying that they are coming this morning?

  My father and I wanted to wait for you to come and have breakfast together, and we didn't see you until almost noon. "

  In Zhangtai Palace, Zhao Ji was eating snacks, and while eating, he scolded Jiang Shu who had just come over, with a special expression on her face.

  Jiang Yan explained in a low voice like a gas bag: "There is still a whole hour before noon... Jiang Yan will remember to go earlier next time."

  Zhao Ji snorted and calculated with his fingers: "After you and Zheng'er got married, how many times did you come here, ten times?

  When I was the Queen of Qin, I was not as rude as you were. "

  Jiang Yan peeked at Zhao Ji: "In the morning... I always get up late. I feel that it would be more rude to greet my father and mother after noon, so I haven't been able to come here."

"Ah."

   Zhao Ji sneered: "If you can't get up in the morning, what can you do to get up and sleep until noon?"

   Zhao Ji's eyes were suspicious, and then she saw Jiang Yan's face quickly turn rosy and shy, and suddenly she understood why she couldn't get up.

   At this moment, Liu Qi's voice was raised from outside the door: "Your Majesty is here."

   Zhao Huaizhong, who was wearing a royal robe, came in from outside the door and winked at Jiang Yan.

   He took time to come over to help Jiang Yan relieve the siege. He first sat down beside King Zhuangxiang, and then he greeted Jiang Yan to come and sit too, and asked, "Is your father better?"

   "I feel much better after eating a lot of medicinal pills sent by Mu everyone." King Zhuangxiang said.

   After Zhao Huaizhong and Jiang Yan left, Zhao Ji glanced at King Zhuangxiang and said lightly, "I don't want to get up early tomorrow morning..."

  “?”

   King Zhuangxiang blinked, not understanding, and said, "Then you need to sleep more."

   "I don't want to get up early, I don't want to sleep more." Zhao Ji emphasized.

   King Zhuangxiang said, "It seems quite difficult."

  ——

   Zhao State, Handan.

  The palace, the hall is empty.

   Under the throne of Zhao Wang, Zhao Yan, stood Guo Kai.

   "...Yan Crown Prince Dan, has entered Qin secretly."

  Guo Kaidao: "My ministers are in contact with various countries, and the Yan people have the most ambiguous attitude, swaying from side to side, they are watching and have not made a decision yet.

   Prince Dan visited Qin at this time, probably to observe the attitude of the Qin people, and then decide whether to participate in the reunion proposed by the king. "

   "The Qi people didn't respond either."

   Zhao Yan said solemnly: "The widowers are willing to return the three cities of Jing, Xiang, and Ji that they had previously occupied to the Yan people, but they still don't want to attack Qin, so they can't blame the widowers for their cruelty."

   "Guo Kai, you have people ready to set up an ambush to kill Prince Dan when he left Qin Guiyan.

   Then news came out that the people of Qin knew that Yan was going to join forces with my great Zhao and killed Prince Yan.

  The widow did not believe that Yan Wangxi knew that Prince Dan was killed, and would still cooperate with the Qin people. "

   Zhao Yan said: "The matter of the merger of the five kingdoms must not be hidden from the Qin people. If this is the case, it is better to spread it out as soon as possible, and it will be a deterrent to the Qin people."

   "If Prince Yan and the Qin people didn't agree, they would have cooperated with my Da Zhao. Wouldn't it be a pity to kill him at this time?" Guo Kai said.

   "Prince Yan is just a chess piece for a few people. It doesn't really matter whether he agrees with me, Zhao, to attack Qin. The key is what King Yan thinks." Zhao Yan said gloomily.

   Guo Kai nodded and went to make arrangements.

  In the hall, Zhao Yan looked away and suddenly said in a deep voice, "Hui Ji."

  From the apse, a woman heard the sound and walked out. It was Zhao Yan's favorite concubine in recent years: "What's the matter with the king calling Huiji?"

   "You go to inform the demon clan that the widow wants to seek Qin, ask the demon master if he is willing to cooperate with the widow?"

   Huiji was surprised: "Your Majesty is joking, how can Huiji inform the demon clan?"

   On the ancient bell hanging by Zhao Yan’s body, there are symbols flowing out of the shimmering light:

   "When you came back from visiting relatives last year, you gradually got a faint scent on your body, which made people addicted to it. Don't you know the reason for yourself? Go, tell the demon master the news and see how she responds to the widow.

  If you dare to deny it, the widow will kill you now. "

   Huiji's complexion changed. After a while, there was a dark green in her pupils, and a demonic energy overflowed from her body and flew away.

  Zhao Yan raised the corners of his mouth, and his face was covered by the shadows in the hall: "This time, the widow not only wants to seek Qin, but also destroy the country of Qin."

  ——

  Xianyang.

   Foreground Palace.

  Prince Dan, dressed in a dark blue robe, sat in the hall and took a bamboo slip handed out by his attendant.

   "The news that the prince made Wei Chen's attention is not difficult to check. Almost everyone knows it in Xianyang. Please read the prince."

  Prince Dan took the bamboo slips and looked down:

   "...In the suburbs of Xianyang, there are four animal houses for breeding black-faced langurs. Since the year before last, Zhao Huaizhong, who was Qin Chu at the time, let people go into the mountains and hunt wild black-faced langurs back to raise..."

   The attendant smiled and said, "Before the lord of Qin took over the power of Qin, as the heir of a country, he personally ordered the capture of the black-faced man to carry out animal husbandry."

   "It is said that at that time he also forced some Qin troops to participate in the capture of Heimian Lang in the mountains.

   The scene of Daqin Jiangyong arresting the black-faced man in the wild, Wei Chen thought of it as ridiculous. "

   Prince Dan glanced at the attendant: "What's so ridiculous.

   In the past two years, there were only two thousand black-faced men who searched the Qin realm at first, but now the number has doubled.

   Qin people began to distribute black-faced Lang cubs in several counties near Xianyang this year to encourage breeding.

   Raising the black-faced man is one of the means he uses to strengthen Qin. "

  Prince Dan's face darkened, and he continued to pay attention to the various messages on the bamboo slips in his hand:

   "As early as four years ago, Mu Yangjing and Qin Chu joined forces to study fruit tree planting, and this year, Qin began to distribute fruit tree seeds throughout the country...

  The Zhengguo Canal is completed... The grain output in the whole territory of Qin will be more than six times more than before. No wonder people from all over the world enter Qin. "

   "Prince, it's time for Lord Qin to summon us to Xianyang Palace."

   A quarter of an hour later, under the guidance of his attendants, Prince Dan walked into the Xianyang Palace and saw Zhao Huaizhong again.

The moment    entered the hall, Prince Dan was in a complicated mood.

   The last time I saw him, the Lord of Great Qin in front of me was still the Prince of Qin, and now he is the Lord of Qiang Qin, a saint of the Three Realms.

  Prince Dan suddenly had an idea in his heart, and it quickly became clear that he could use Qin Li to attack Zhao first.

   Of course, once the attack on Zhao is successful, before the Yan people face Qiang Qin directly, it is necessary to get rid of the lord of Great Qin.

Regarding the sub-venue of the underworld, it is only the beginning. It is far from the time of in-depth layout, and it will not become the main theme in the future. The world is the main line, but the story of the underworld will be inextricably linked with the human world. There are a few people who like it to write Ask for a ticket, ask for a reservation, thank you
