Chapter 108 Protect their concerns, victory is assured in this battle.
Yin Shishi stood on the city wall, holding a small emerald bird in her hand.
Xu Qizhou approached her and immediately noticed what she was holding: "A letter from the Xuanhuang Sect?"
Yin Shishi nodded slightly: "Grandmaster said that Xue Lan is fine now."
Zhu He breathed a sigh of relief: "And then?"
"After discussion, the six sects and twelve factions decided to work together to fight against the demons and decided to initiate the 'Signiting the Flame' sequence."
The girl teased the kingfisher in her hand, her tone light and cheerful: "Xue Lan has been included in the torch relay and won't be able to reach the Luoxia Mountain battlefield for a while."
Xu Qizhou clapped his hands: "Good news."
"Auntie has been clearing out the demon rifts around here recently. Junior Sister Cui will tell her about it later..."
"Demonic Tide!"
Yin Shishi's words were interrupted by a shout. The battlefield, which had just quieted down, had not even had the smoke of battle dissipate when the sound of drums urging the troops to advance rang out again.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Each sound seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present.
A dark, surging tide of demons swept in from the edge of the Lei Kui Formation. Yin Shishi quickly finished speaking: "The last batch of supplies was transported to Fuyang City yesterday and was personally counted and stored by Junior Sister Cui."
The girl bowed deeply to the crowd before her: "Fellow Daoists, victory is assured in this battle."
Many spirited young people returned the gift.
"We will win this battle."
After speaking, the group transformed into streaks of light and re-entered the battlefield.
Yin Shishi turned around and gently scratched the head of the kingfisher in her hand.
A talisman floated before the girl, and a gentle voice sounded: "Grandmaster, Shishi is safe and sound at Luoxia Mountain. The demonic tide is growing ever stronger. Thank you, Grandmaster, for cleaning up the mess for Shishi regarding Xue Lan. As for the Chonggu Village matter, Shishi will handle it herself once the demonic tide has passed..."
The kingfisher flew up from Yin Shishi's palm, turning into a streak of blue light in the sky and disappearing in an instant.
The girl glanced at the warriors fighting on the battlefield, then walked down the city wall and returned to Luoxia City.
Separated from Luoxia City by the Jiangyun Sect, the outskirts of Fuyang City are covered with ripe, golden fields.
At this moment, on the edge of the field, about a hundred people were harvesting wheat with sickles. Among them were not only strong young men, but also elderly men with bronze skin, and simply dressed peasant women.
Of course, the most conspicuous were the soldiers in armor. They bent over in the fields, harvesting the grain, and in less than an hour, a section of the wheat had been cut. Neatly stacked haystacks stood scattered across the fields.
Among them was an old man dressed in cloth. He picked up two sheaves of cut wheat, crossed them on the ground, twisted and tied them together, and thus made a wheat knot.
The old man then placed the harvested wheat on top, and in no time, it became a bundle of wheat.
Xie He still remembers the first time he did this was when he was sixteen. At that time, he was the crown prince, and he was overwhelmed by the heavy burden of his studies every day. The late emperor only had two sons, one was him, and the other was Xie Jin.
In the late autumn of his sixteenth year, he took Xie Jin, Qian Cheng'an (the current Prime Minister of Da Shun), and Xu Luqing (the commander of the Shengyu Army) with him and skipped classes at the Imperial Academy to go to the outskirts of the capital.
He spent half the day helping an old farmer harvest wheat. In the end, he discovered he couldn't even tie a proper wheat knot. Xie Jin laughed at him for quite some time.
later.
Later, Xie Jin became the commander of the Shengyu Army and guarded the border.
He became emperor and ascended the throne of supreme power.
pity……
A slightly high-pitched voice came from behind, whispered: "Master, General Xu has arrived."
Xie He stood up and looked behind him. An old general in heavy armor walked along the ridge of the field, accompanied by a girl in a light blue dress.
Xie He got up and walked towards the edge of the field. The person who had delivered the message wanted to follow, but Xie He stopped him.
The old man walked steadily to the two of them. The old general stepped forward first and saluted: "Xu Luqing greets Your Majesty. This is Miss Cui, who is in charge of the distribution of provisions in Fuyang City and at the front lines."
Cui Wu gave the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty a respectful greeting, and the young woman smiled gently, her voice clear and soft: "Cui Wu greets Your Majesty."
Xie He looked at the girl in front of him, and instead of calling her "Immortal Master," he followed Xu Luqing's lead and called her "Miss Cui."
Cui Wu looked at Xie He and slowly said, "With the demonic tide approaching, Your Majesty's visit to Fuyang City can indeed boost morale and appease the people, but Cui Wu's opinion is... Your Majesty shouldn't have come."
Xie He naturally understood Cui Wu's meaning. He only had one son, and although he had been grooming him as the crown prince for more than ten years, the crown prince was not yet capable of controlling the government in the face of such a great demonic tide.
Xie He nodded: "Of course I know. Xiao'er is currently unable to control the court, let alone appease the people."
Choi Wu understood the choice: to risk his life on the front lines to appease the people or to maintain control of the court with the support of his ministers in the capital. The emperor had given his child the safest option.
Cui Wu bowed to the old man before him; "Your Majesty is of great virtue."
"The battle at Luoxia Mountain is currently critical, and all our fellow disciples are on the front lines resisting the demons. If His Majesty were here in Fuyang City to reassure the people and prevent the hundreds of thousands of civilians from panicking..."
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are at the forefront, and they are worried about their families. If Your Majesty can take good care of their concerns, this battle will surely be won."
Xie He nodded to the girl in front of him. The old man had kind eyes and a hunched back, but he was as steady as a mountain.
Cui Wu knew that this was the benevolent emperor's insistence. The young woman watched as the anger emanating from him gradually dissipated, and sighed inwardly.
Ultimately... his time is up.
In a small mountain southeast of Shengyu City, near Luoxia Mountain, Ji Jinjin pinned a demon in the early Golden Core stage to the ground with a single spear thrust. A wisp of gray smoke flew from the tip of the Xuan Sha Spear, sucking the demon's corpse into an empty shell.
Long Siyin stepped forward and took out the demon core from the demon race, her gaze towards Ji Jinjin filled with worry.
"If Xue Lan finds out that you forcibly left the seclusion at this critical moment..."
Ji Jinjin was watching the other disciples deal with the scene when she heard Long Siyin's words. The girl leaned on her spear and said, "Senior sister won't blame me. In such a critical moment, how can I only think of myself?"
Long Siyin looked at the girl in black in front of her and the long spear behind her.
Man and gun become one, unparalleled in sharpness.
It's no wonder she's a child raised by Xue Lan; only Ji Jinjin is worthy of that Xuan Sha Spear. Laughing at the heavens, vanquishing evil spirits.
A talisman flew down from the sky not far away, and Ji Jinjin caught it and unfolded it.
"Xiao Wu's."
Long Siyin watched as a smile slowly bloomed on Ji Jinjin's face.
"Good thing?"
Ji Jinjin nodded emphatically: "Senior Sister is alright. The Six Sects and Twelve Schools have started the Flame Transmission Sequence, so Senior Sister won't be able to come to Luoxia Mountain for a while."
Long Siyin was happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but she was somewhat skeptical of the second half.
"Your senior sister, I'm afraid, can only be like this for a while."
Ji Jinjin nodded in agreement, then smiled faintly: "It's good news after all, at least I won't be without a senior sister."
After resting for a while, the two girls continued to eliminate the hidden demons.
