step by step

The man was trembling all over, and said intermittently: "I, I am very scared. After those monsters rushed up, I kept running, kept running. There was screaming behind me, and I didn't dare to look back at all. Guangcheng is in chaos, everywhere, there are corpses, dead people, and blood... I first ran back home, got enough money, and then, took my wife, children, and parents, and left Fuguang directly city."

"Where is that thing?" The voice was rough and unpleasant, but upon hearing this voice, the man miraculously stopped his fear.

His eyes were blank, and he said stupidly: "Something? I don't know... what is it? I don't know what it is? Well, where is my precious son? Did Ale take something from Dad again? Xiyue , Ah Le is six years old, it's time to go to school, don't spoil him like your mother, see how he is spoiled by you now... Something, what? I didn't see anything What about my Ale? Did my Ale take something from his father again? He is so naughty, he really deserves to be beaten. Xiyue, don’t stop me, this kid is just spoiled by you and mother, look at him What is it like now, let me teach him a lesson..."

A man in black stepped forward to investigate and replied, "This guy is already crazy."

"What a waste!" The man with a rough voice said sinisterly: "Anyway, I can't ask anything, you can search for the soul directly. After searching for the soul, send him to hell for such rubbish."

The man in black said respectfully, "Yes, my lord."

The candle flickered, and the man fell to the ground like a puddle of mud and twitched continuously.On the ground beside him, the dim candlelight faintly reflected four groups of black shadows of different sizes.

Holding the lantern, the man in black leaned over the smallest shadow.The child closed his eyes tightly, his head was bloody and bloody.The scalp was turned upside down, and there were several black blood holes in the middle of the forehead, as if someone forcibly inserted them with their fingers, and then followed the contours of the head, forcibly peeling off half of the skin of the face.

The man was still whispering: "What are you looking for? I don't know, I didn't see anything? Could it be that my Ale took something from my father again? Ale, you are already six years old. It's time to go to school. If you lose your temper with your master again like last time, your father will teach you a lesson. Xiyue, you are just like your mother, but you dote on this kid too much. This kid's sharp teeth can't be used in the right way , It’s obviously too much to deal with, Ale, if you talk back to Daddy again, Daddy will tear your mouth off..."

The man in black took care of the rest carefully, then put the bloody thing in the man's hand, helped him to hold it, and said in a babbling voice, "I'll help you get rid of his face." It’s also peeled off, don’t thank me too much, I’m just too warm-hearted. So you don’t have to worry, I will send your family to reunite as soon as possible. Don’t forget to let them walk slowly on the road to Huangquan, so that you Can catch up with them. Hehe."

In the hand of the man in black was a sharp sword with a cold light. He raised the sword and dropped it, and with a "puchi", a round thing slowly rolled away.

He lightly brought the sharp sword to his mouth, intoxicatedly inhaled the bloody smell on it, then stretched out his scarlet tongue, and lightly licked the sweet liquid.

"It's a rare delicacy in the world."

——————————————————————————————

This tragic battle lasted for more than three hours.I don't know why, but this time, the enemy army that would have retreated after an hour of attack failed to do what the soldiers of Floating Light City wanted. More than 50 skeleton soldiers, almost looking like they were about to launch a general attack, pressed them all down. 15 vs. 50, with such a disparity in numbers, the fragile human body faces the hard skeleton, and it seems like a child's play for human beings to win in this war.

In the commander's tent, Kong Zhuduan sat on the main seat, and Shi Sang Gudu and others sat below her.There were no outsiders in the tent, she just sat lazily, resting her chin with her hand: "I want to hear the general's opinion on this battle."

Gu Du didn't answer her question directly, but said seriously: "The guilty minister wants to ask His Highness something, please answer it seriously."

None of the people present were serious members of the royal family, and cared about the offense in his words, Kong Zhu said with great interest: "Excuse me, General."

Gu Du's eyes were piercing, he looked at her, and said word by word: "Your Highness, please explain to the guilty minister, since the emperor has sent Prince Ze to the southern border as a military governor, why did he send another one?" Contradictory will, let Your Highness come to Floating Light City?"

Sora's expression was gloomy, and his light gray pupils were so deep that they couldn't reflect any light.She hooked her lips and said with a smile: "Then why can't the general feel that Father is worried about the millions of people in Fuguang City, but because the order to withdraw the troops has been made before, so you have no joke, so he can only secretly send me over to check it out The situation. Maybe after he heard the situation in Floating Light City, he felt pity and would really send troops to support Floating Light City?"

She stood up slowly, looked down at Gu Du, her tone couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry: "Maybe the general thinks that my badge is fake, and so is the imperial father's edict?"

Gu Du also stood up, bowed neither humble nor overbearing: "The guilty minister dare not. Your Highness's identity is true, and the guilty minister still has this insight. But the guilty minister thinks that since His Highness left the Demon City, the guilty minister has not listened." I heard some news that His Majesty issued an edict to summon His Highness to return to the palace. The sinful minister has not heard any anecdotes about the hermit clan entering the palace to worship. It stands to reason that His Highness should still be in the extreme north at this time, even if His Majesty secretly sent you to the palace. Recall the Demon City, but at this moment, you should be in the palace, not in the dangerous southern border, the Floating Light City where there are ten deaths and no life. The sinful minister would like to ask His Highness, how did you appear here at this time? kind of place?"

"Are you questioning me?" Kong Zhu's voice was very soft.Her eyes were indifferent, neither the anger of being offended by authority nor the guilt of being punctured by lies.Her complexion didn't even change at all from the beginning to the end.

Gu Du bowed his body, maintaining the previous posture.He still repeated the sentence just now: "The guilty minister dare not."

"General Gudu, you are so courageous." Kong Zhu narrated in a flat tone, while the others just watched the confrontation between the two quietly without a word of interference.

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness." Gu Du's voice was calm.

Both of them are masters of forbearance, more patience, more scheming, no one lacks.Half a catty, every match is used to describe such a situation.

Kong Zhu smiled slightly, no more uneasy than Gu Du's speculation about the unknown when facing her.She already had a plan in her heart, so she would not feel afraid: "General Gudu, I will not just hide it from you. Indeed, the emperor does not know the news of my return. What emperor am I talking about?" Oral orders are all false."

Gu Du's breathing was suffocating, and he almost lost his composure and interrupted her directly.For such a thing as the false preaching of the Holy Spirit, if she said it so openly, she must have something to rely on.He didn't want to guess at all what this support was. An imperial daughter called her father the emperor with such a disdainful tone, and her thoughts and plans were almost ready to come out.But it was her blunt words that worried him even more. If she could tell him like this, there must be a way to prevent him from telling others about it, at least not in a short period of time.

"General Gudu, you are a smart man. A rising dynasty or a dynasty that is rapidly corrupting, which one would you choose?"

"One will perish immediately, and the other will perish slowly. It's just lingering. Smart people know which one to choose." Gu Du's heart is like a mirror. Although he knew that these words might anger the person in front of him, he still couldn't help but gritted his teeth and replied. .

Kong Zhu shook his head and sighed: "General, I just said that you are a smart person, why are you confused now?" She paused, and said word by word: "What he can't give you, I can give you. He I can give you what I dare not give you."

"You mean..." Gu Du glanced at Yan Feng who was sitting beside him, and suddenly understood the reason why the emperor's confidant would betray the emperor.

"General Gudu, I don't want to force you to make any immediate decision. I want you to choose to pursue me with conviction. Tell me and tell yourself that I am a superior worthy of your respect. You don't need to ask me What promises to make, you just need to see our actions clearly during this period of time, and then make your own choice."

These words were not only addressed to Gu Du, but also Kong Zhu spoke to Yan Feng.After saying these words, she returned to her seat and sat down again, and said calmly: "General Gudu, please sit down. Let's continue discussing the topic just now. I want to hear what the general thinks about this battle."

Gu Du woke up from his thoughts, he pondered for a moment, carefully considered his words, and said: "I always feel that these skeleton soldiers don't actually have their own thoughts and emotions, and their every move is manipulated by certain people on."

The few people who knew about it looked at each other, and Kong Zhu's eyes flashed with light. They didn't expect that an ordinary person who didn't know anything about legendary formations could actually discover this so sensitively.

"They are indeed being manipulated by people. Manipulating them is an ancient survivor called a necromancer."

"The survivors of the ancient times?" Not only was Gu Du's accident, but Yan Feng was also not very clear about the meaning of some of the words.It was only then that Kong Zhu realized how difficult it was for the two of them in different worlds to communicate. In desperation, he could only tell them the story from the beginning bit by bit.

This lecture went straight from noon to dusk. The fortune teller family has a long history, and with the various questions they occasionally ask, they explain more and more as soon as they explain it. Solved the doubts of the two.But judging from their unfinished expressions, it is obvious that there are still many unanswered questions.

"Then what do you mean, actually resurrecting skeletons is just their clan's ability, not something like God's punishment?" Gu Du still felt a little unbelievable, they had never heard of it at all.In their eyes, the cultivation is still at the initial stage, but they don't know that in the world outside of them, the glory of the fortune teller family at the pinnacle of this world is not comparable to any family.There are countless treasures and wealth that the prophet family has seen and owned, and most people in the world have never even heard of it.

To Yan Feng and the others, these are completely another world.Apart from their superficial cultivation ability, there are all kinds of unreal things that they dare not even imagine. The difference between their two worlds is really too big.
