Yun Ji's reaction was electrified. "How can you give this to Wu Chang?"
Niu Youdao: "Don't worry, I only dared to give it to him after I was sure it could be given to him. The Demonic Book is for people who can understand it. "
Yun Ji followed closely behind him. "Crow Generals. He's also refining Crow Generals. What will happen if he succeeds?"
Niu Youdao: "His Crow Generals are too late. They can't compare to the power here. Furthermore, we already know his background. How can we allow him to slowly build up his power? If Crow General really becomes powerful one day, whether or not we'll be able to live is still a question. "
Yun Ji understood the hidden meaning in his words. "That means you have a way to control the Crow Generals here … Who can control them?"
Niu Youdao shook his head. "Don't ask anymore. You can slowly guess. In any case, it's not something you or I can control." He climbed onto a high platform and surveyed the magnificent scene again.
Yun Ji followed. "You don't plan to get these Crow Generals out now?"
Niu You said, "I do want to bring them out, but if I were to bring such a large number of Crow Generals out, would we be able to hide them? Once we bring them out, it means we're going to fall out with them. We have no choice but to expose ourselves. The Six Sages will definitely join forces to deal with us. Even you might not be able to subdue these Crow Generals. They won't be able to stop the Six Sages. The Butterfly Rakshasa in the Dream Butterfly World has far more Crow Generals than these one hundred thousand. You've seen it before. I don't dare to act rashly without a certain degree of certainty! "
Yun Ji nodded silently. "I understand. You're here to find these things because you want to confirm their existence."
Niu Youdao: "Only after confirming it will I know what I'm doing. If anything happens, I'll be able to use it in time."
Yun Ji looked around silently and suddenly sighed. "Who exactly is this Li Ge? He actually knows such sorcery."
Niu Youdao: "You've seen the situation in the fifth domain. He shouldn't be someone from this world. Shang Song and his wife should be from a higher cultivation plane."
"A higher plane …" Yun Ji muttered to herself.
"Alright, it has been confirmed. There shouldn't be any other tricks. Let's go!" Niu Youdao jumped off the stage and walked towards the exit with his hands behind his back.
Yun Ji jumped down as well. As she looked around, she asked, "Should we extinguish the fire here?"
Niu Youdao: "No need. It won't burn for long. When the kerosene dries up, it will naturally go out. "
The two of them exited the huge underground space. They stood at the vent and turned to look back. Niu Youdao slowly moved to the side while Yun Ji once again pushed the large rock.
With a dull and slow buzzing sound, the circular sealing stone blocked the entrance of the cave again.
Once the vent was blocked, the airflow in the huge underground space suddenly slowed down, and the flickering flames in the long and winding fire trough immediately quieted down.
Without enough wind, the flag with the word "Shang" hanging in the flames slowly drooped down. It was silent, as if it was waiting for the wind to blow again.
The hundred thousand Dark Feather Jackdaw were still asleep …
After walking through a path that had been explored, there was no need to be too careful when going out again. The two of them quickly flashed through the tunnel.
When they rushed out of the waterfall again, the two of them had already returned to the space of the underground river.
Niu Youdao flashed up and landed on the shore. Yun Ji, who had received the order, fell into the deep pool under the waterfall.
After a while, Yun Ji rose from below and rushed into the torrent of the waterfall with the huge stalagmite that she had pulled out earlier.
After sealing the cave entrance again, Yun Ji landed beside Niu Youdao and nodded. "It's done."
Instead of going back the way they came, Niu Youdao flew down the waterfall. After walking downstream for a distance, he asked Yun Ji to dig a hole to make the exit further away from the location of King Ning's Villa.
They dug a path to the top. When they drilled out of the ground, it was already late at night.
Yun Ji invoked her arts to seal the exit. Niu Youdao carefully identified the terrain and remembered the location.
This was also the reason why he asked Yun Ji to open a passage here. Even if Yun Ji didn't come next time, he could enter the underground river in the most convenient way without alerting anyone if he needed to. The exit was not far from the entrance of the underground waterfall. It could be said that it was convenient for the next time.
The two of them sneaked back to Cangwu County and returned to the inn to rest for the night. The next morning, they left the city and rushed all the way back to Nanzhou Prefecture City.
… …
"There's no other way but to defend to the death. There's no reinforcements either. We can only be passive. Huyan Wuhen has slowly made sufficient preparations along the way. He has ten times the number of troops and is slowly surrounding the city. I'm afraid that Gu Yuanda will not be able to escape this time. "
Slowly, Meng Shanming spoke in the Heroic Martial Hall.
Shang Chaozong, who was standing in front of the map, said, "There's no city in this world that can't be breached. Huyan Wuhen has gathered an overwhelming number of troops. He doesn't lack provisions, and he doesn't have to worry about the enemy's reinforcements. He's taking his time. Gu Yuanda will definitely not be able to defend the Capital of Qi. He'll definitely be breached. It all depends on whether those mages can help him escape."
Meng Shanming chuckled. "Gu Yuanda killed the Emperor of Qi, Vast Cloud Tu, and looted the entire capital of Qi. He even killed two of Huyan Wuhen's sons. If he's not killed, he won't be able to give an explanation to the people of Qi. He won't be able to intimidate the feudal vassals. Huyan Wuhen will let anyone go, but not him. Prince, once the city is breached, Huyan Wuhen will kill him at all costs. He won't let him escape! "
Shang Chaozong nodded and said, "That's true. Qi could have held on for a longer period of time, but it's on the verge of collapse. Gu Yuanda can be considered to have 'great credit'. However, a traitor like him deserves to die. "
The two chatted as they walked out of the Heroic Martial Hall. Shang Chaozong personally pushed the wheelchair. He called out to the guards at the door, and immediately a soldier came over to help carry the wheelchair out of the door.
Princess Feng Ruonan, who was pacing back and forth outside, walked over. According to the rules, she couldn't trespass into the Heroic Martial Hall without permission. She could only wait outside.
Meng Shanming greeted her. Seeing that she had found her way here, he knew that the couple must have something to talk about. He then took his leave.
"Cough cough …" A series of violent coughs came from the wheelchair.
Shang Chaozong watched as the wheelchair left. His face was filled with worry. "Uncle Meng's health is getting worse every year. This time, he put Da An and Lu Zheng in charge despite the criticism. It seems like he's in a hurry to train them …"
Feng Ruonan understood the meaning behind his words. "He should let the mages check more and help him recuperate."
Shang Chaozong shook his head. "His injuries were too serious in his early years, causing him to be disabled. His life's vitality was damaged. The mages said that elixirs can cure illnesses and recuperate the body, extending one's lifespan, but it cannot make up for the lost lifespan … "He suddenly waved his hand." Forget it. Let's not talk about this. Is there something you need from me? "
Feng Ruonan made a sound of acknowledgement and pulled his arm as they walked towards a secluded path. "Qing-er has been not right recently. I found that she is often in a daze. This morning I went over and found her sitting in front of the dressing table staring at the mirror. I called her a few times but she didn't respond. It was only when I walked in front of her and shook her that she woke up. "
Shang Chaozong frowned. "Such a heavy mind. Did something happen recently?"
Feng Ruonan replied, "Nothing much. Oh right, it seems that after that Yin-er came, she became like this."
Shang Chaozong pondered for a while. "Could it be that Yin-er is the cause of it?"
Feng Ruonan replied, "It doesn't seem like it. She is a silly and simple-minded girl. Qing-er likes her and would not haggle over anything with her. But Prince, that Yin-er can really eat. It is rare to see her stop eating. The Bie Courtyard is really pampering her. They even specially sent two monks from Nanshan Monastery over to give her special attention. I have never seen such pampering. "
Shang Chaozong knew that Niu Youdao was still alive and knew that Yin-er was Niu Youdao's follower in the past. To be pampered like this must be Daoye's intention.
Not willing to talk about this, he pulled the topic back. "Recently I have been paying attention to the war and do not have the energy to take care of Qing-er. You, as her sister-in-law, should go and take a look."
In the classroom, Shang Shuqing, who was looking at the students copying the calligraphy, was distracted again. He sat behind the long table on the podium in a daze. Recently, it could be said that he was not even that focused when teaching the students.
At the side of the door, there was a small stool. Yin-er was sitting against the wall. Her hands were peeling boiled peanuts and eating them with relish. As long as there was food, she was very satisfied and carefree.
Of course, she preferred to eat drumsticks. But Shang Shuqing was afraid of her eating that way. Afraid that something would happen if she ate like that, he would usually let her eat some snacks and the like.
Guan Fangyi appeared outside the classroom window. Recently, she often came to visit.
Looking at Shang Shuqing who was in a daze on the podium, Guan Fangyi secretly smiled bitterly. She found that Daoye was really ruthless. He played down some things.
Did he think that Shang Shuqing was a fool? Wang Xiao was Daoye. Back then, Shang Shuqing made such a fuss because of Daoye. He even broke off the engagement because of Daoye. Wang Xiao knew about this.
In other words, Shang Shuqing knew that Daoye knew about her feelings for him.
But now, the Taoist Master acted as if nothing had happened and just casually suppressed it. Now, this woman must be very conflicted. Looking at her mental state, she probably tossed and turned every night and couldn't even sleep well.
However, this was not something Niu Youdao considered. After returning from Cangwu County, Niu Youdao noticed that it was inconvenient to move around. He immediately looked for Yuan Gang to discuss whether they could get some flying mounts from the fifth domain.
With Yun Ji's help, it was not a problem to get some flying mounts. However, the problem Yuan Gang revealed was that he could control them. When he was not around, he could not make those wild and untamed birds listen to others.
Apart from Yuan Gang, no one else could control them. Moreover, Yuan Gang could not show himself often. Niu Youdao thought about it and finally gave up.
…
At the top of Qi Capital, Gu Yuanda looked haggard as he stood on the city wall. He could only watch helplessly as the city wall rose again.
Huyan Wuhen leisurely led his army to arrive. He was not in a hurry to attack the city. Instead, he ordered his army to carry out earthworks outside the city. The army continued to pile up the earth.
After the earth was piled up, it was pushed forward. Then, it was piled up again and pushed forward again. The earth was getting taller and taller. The area that was pushed forward was almost level with the city wall.
Huyan Wuhen's intentions were clear. He was too lazy to attack the city and was not in a hurry. He wanted to take things slowly. Once the momentum was established, he would not need to suffer many casualties. The army would charge into the city.
In the face of such a method, arrows and sharp weapons were useless. What would be the effect of shooting arrows at the earth? 'If you have the ability to attack, I will accompany you anytime.'
Gu Yuanda's intestines were green with regret. He regretted betraying the Kingdom of Qi. He hated Gao Pin even more. He realized that he had been used by Gao Pin.
Now that things had come to this, how could he not know that Gao Pin had never thought of sending reinforcements?
From the moment he was deceived by Gao Pin into attacking Qi Capital, the Qin army and Qi army's three hundred thousand reinforcements surrounded Qi Capital. His army could not get out.
The key was that the Kingdom of Jin did not have any reinforcements. Huyan Wuhen, who came late, had no worries. He could do things slowly and methodically.
What was even more tragic was that the Misty Pavilion had suddenly ordered to confiscate all flying mounts. Even if Gu Yuanda wanted to escape, he could only kill his way out of the heavy encirclement.
