Chapter 69

Zhang Prefecture, which You Wuming had asked for reinforcements, bordered Qin Prefecture. It was located to the west of Qin Prefecture, facing the abyss to the north.

When You Wuming set out with Sang Yuanyuan, Gou Zi, and Ou Zi, the reinforcements from You Prefecture also set out.

This time, they could use this "tide" to test the power of the equipment they took from the 8,000 cavalrymen of Huangfu Xiong.

It was the first time the soldiers of You Prefecture wore the Spirit Armor.

It was a pity that the Cloud Beasts and beast armor they collected couldn't be used for the time being. It would take a long time for the beasts and cavalrymen to work together on the battlefield.

The Cloud Beasts of You Prefecture were physically weaker. Wearing the armor greatly affected their mobility, so it was better not to wear it.

Therefore, the You Army sent to Zhang Prefecture this time was a Spirit Armor Infantry Formation, a total of 7,000 soldiers.

Their marching speed was naturally slower than that of Shang Ming, so they were two days late.

At noon the next day, Shang Ming crossed the border of You Prefecture and arrived at Zhang Prefecture.

The land of Zhang Prefecture was very beautiful.

It was a typical Danxia landscape.

Walking among the mountains and rocks that seemed to have been splashed with red, orange, and yellow dyes, and looking up at the blue sky, it was as if they had mistakenly entered the world of a painting.

Zhang Zhou's biscuits were very fragrant. They were made from a very strange soft flour, and when bitten, they were slightly sticky to the teeth. With every bite, one had to use a bit of strength to stretch it out a little, and then it would break between the teeth.

The biscuits were filled with finely chopped meat that had been roasted and smelled delicious. There were also some yellow or green seasonings that were unique to Zhang Prefecture. Each bite had a different taste.

Sang Yuanyuan ate until her stomach bulged.

You Wuming often went to Zhang Prefecture, so she was used to eating biscuits.

When he saw her eating the biscuits like a squirrel, he found it funny. He bought a big bag of biscuits and hung it around Shang Ming's neck, letting her eat slowly along the way.

She ate until she was full, but she couldn't bear to part with the taste of the roasted meat. She secretly removed the outer shell of the biscuit and secretly stuffed it into Shang Ming's mouth when You Wuming wasn't paying attention. She ate the stuffing inside.

You Wuming never allowed Shang Ming to eat these messy things, only allowing it to eat rations.

Shang Ming knew this, and so did Sang Yuanyuan, but they couldn't control their mouths.

For the sake of food, Shang Ming's mouth's, You Wuming's mouth. From time to time, they would cast guilty glances at You Wuming, and then continue eating.

You Wo Wo's hand... to's's's to's's's's's mouth. and then a small small ''s for's for it it' '''s to ''s a little, a small hand''s, and ''s to' '''s to Shang ''s hand''s's to it '''s''s' ''s's's mouth. it''s's, it ''s, and''s it's''s''s's, and's' ''s.....

. '' Shang Ming ''s' had learned to complain.

"Little Sang Guo, you have a good appetite." You Wuming's' lips curled into a smile. His voice was light, and his meaning was unclear.

Sang Yuanyuan turned her head and smiled at him. "Oh … it's delicious."

He bent down, and his warm breath fell on her ear. His voice was warm. "I'm still hungry."

Sang Yuanyuan's's' heart skipped a beat. She turned around and stuffed an entire biscuit into its' 'mouth.

You Wuming happily chewed on the biscuit, and mumbled, "I don't want to eat this. I want to eat fruit."

Sang Yuanyuan wrapped her arms around its neck and laughed. While it was staring at her, unable to look away, the hand behind its back secretly stuffed another biscuit shell without any fillings into Shang Ming's' 'mouth.

The puppet angrily pointed its small finger at Shang Ming's' big 'mouth. After pointing for a long time, it saw that You Wuming pretended not to see it. It was so angry that it turned around and sat down beside Shang Ming's' tail, plucking the fur on its tail.

Shang Ming was busy stealing food, so it didn't care about something as trivial as throwing a few strands of fur.

'' Shang Ming '' Shang Ming, who couldn't eat good food and was completely ignored, was speechless.

It was so angry that it gnawed on its claws.

After Sang Yuanyuan fed Shang Ming until it was like a watermelon, You Wuming leisurely said, "Little Sang Guo, do you know that Zhang Zhou has two kings?"

Sang Yuanyuan was stunned. "Zhang Zhou also has a regent?"

"No." You Wuming pointed at an endless stretch of mountains in front of them. "Zhang Zhou is all mountains, and there are many horse bandits. It's not easy to clear them out. The north side is adjacent to the Ming Abyss, so they can't take care of the other side. After Zhang Zhou's King, Zhang Dai, succeeded the throne, he led troops out all year round and was exhausted."

Sang Yuanyuan nodded lightly.

They had only been in Zhang Zhou for a day and a night, but they had already encountered three waves of horse bandits. If it was an ordinary person, it would definitely be difficult to move around in such a place.

The horse bandits robbed the people, and the people became bandits in order to survive. It was a vicious cycle. There were bandits everywhere, and there were no honest farmers. The taxpayers had all become bandits, and the state could not collect grain tax, so they could only increase the tax. The vicious cycle became more and more intense, and it became a situation where it was difficult to take care of both sides.

It was difficult.

You Wuming said, "Zhang Dai could not return to Zhang Du for a long time, so his younger brother, Zhang Jing, took care of the state's affairs in his place. For convenience, Zhang Dai gave the King's Seal to Zhang Jing.

After more than ten years, the outside world only recognizes Zhang Jing as Zhang Zhou's King. "

Sang Yuanyuan said, "These two brothers have a good relationship?"

One mountain could not accommodate two kings. It was already like this, but they still did not fight.

You Wuming laughed mockingly. "Zhang Dai can only see the square inch of land in front of him, and he runs to wherever there is a gap. You ask him to see Zhang Jing's ambition from a thousand miles away?

Ha. "

Sang Yuanyuan asked curiously, "Since Zhang Jing is ambitious, why doesn't he proclaim himself king?"

"There's no need.

Zhang Jing was already the de facto Zhang Zhou Wang. If he left his title in the big blockhead Zhang Dai's hands, that blockhead would run errands for him outside, fighting wherever he pointed. Zhang Jing only needed to stay in Zhang Du. All the benefits would be his, so why not?

Once Zhang Dai dies, the reputation and the throne will be in Zhang Jing's hands. "

Sang Yuanyuan laughed. "The outside world must not be saying that, right?"

"Yes," You Wuming said, "Those fools only think that the two of them are brothers, one civil and one martial, supporting the unstable land of Zhang Zhou.

Ha, Little Sang Guo, if not for the fact that I was afraid that you would be worried, I would be too lazy to care about these matters.

The one who asked me for help was Zhang Dai — he was really afraid that the Underworld Demons would attack.

As for Zhang Jing, a few days ago, he announced that he would break off relations with Youzhou. He wants to take advantage of this wave to wipe out all of Zhang Dai's assets. "

Sang Yuanyuan could not help but look back at him.

This pair of lazy eyes always saw through everything so clearly.

Did he already see his own ending when he walked into Blazing Fire Heavenly Capital?

If it was in the past, he would not care about digging holes in Qin Zhou, nor would he reveal the inside story of the two kings of Zhang Zhou to anyone.

In his eyes, this land was a broken ship that would soon sink to the bottom of the sea. He did not care whether its masts had long been full of holes from worms, nor did he care how many places below the deck were leaking, nor did he care whether his position would be submerged by the next wave.

In the past, he did not care about anything.

But now that he had her, everything was different.

His words just now meant that he wanted to meddle in other people's business.

But how could he meddle?

The current situation of Zhang Zhou was really full of holes. Tearing down the east wall could not fix the west wall.

She secretly pondered and decided not to ask anything. She would think about this matter herself — even if he was willing to protect her for a lifetime, she would never let herself become a useless parasite.

No matter in which aspect, she had to work hard to grow up.

…

At night, You Wuming rushed to the Foreign Minister's City of Zhang Zhou.

The Great Wall garrison troops of the nearby states had long been familiar with You Wuming's face and saber. When they saw him coming from afar, there was a burst of cheers on the city wall.

Sang Yuanyuan was surprised. "Do the people of Zhang Zhou like you so much?"

You Wuming's face was full of disdain. "Who wants them to like me?"

Sang Yuanyuan leaned on him and felt that he was actually in a good mood — he liked the battlefield, and he also liked the soldiers who liked the battlefield as much as he did and were not afraid of death, regardless of which state they belonged to or whether they were his enemies.

By the time You Wuming rushed to the foot of the city wall, the soldiers had already put on a familiar expression and happily opened the iron gate under the Great Wall, allowing him to rush out like a shooting star.

They all knew that every time King You Zhou came to support, he would first rush into the Nether Demon wave and repeatedly kill it several times, so that the Nether Demons would use their blood to welcome the arrival of this fiend.

Tonight, there was a blood moon hanging above his head again.

The instant You Wuming jumped out from under the Great Wall, Sang Yuanyuan could not help but turn around and ask, "Whenever a 'blood moon' appears, will it always be accompanied by a 'tide surge'?"

You Wuming cut the heavy saber into the demon's body and replied with a smile, "I didn't pay attention."

He did not care about such details at all.

All the terrifying legends about the Blood Moon were nothing but jokes in front of You Wuming.

He did not believe in destiny and did not fear the words of others. There had never been anything that could make him retreat in fear.

When the Nether Demons pounced, they were easily cut in two.

You Wuming purposely did not use the Spirit Containing Light Blade.

He wanted them to pounce in front of him so that the boiling blood would rain down like a storm. He wanted his fingers and palms to carefully enjoy the wonderful feeling of the blade cutting through the demon's body.

The doll was so excited that it was about to go crazy.

This was the first time You Wuming had brought it to the battlefield.

It could sense his hot-blooded emotions when he killed the enemy, but it could only hide in the shadows and do some shady business.

Until today.

It could not help but rush out.

Its body was covered in blue-black mist. Like a small bolt of lightning, it easily cut through large swaths of the Nether Demons' bodies.

It was small and covered in the darkness. When it charged into the Nether Demon wave, it instantly disappeared.

It only knew that wherever it passed, it was like a tornado had passed through. The Nether Demons were killed until they swayed left and right. It was a tragic sight.

When You Wuming charged to the edge of the Nether Abyss, the doll finally jumped back.

Even its hair was dyed red.

You Wuming: "… Don't expect me to wash it for you."

The doll lowered its head to look at itself, then bared its white teeth at him.

"Release your flowers."

You Wuming jumped down from Short-lived's back. He waved his blade and cut the Nether Demons that dared to approach into minced meat.

Sang Yuanyuan threw out two big and one small flower.

Two big red fat men and a small red skinny man appeared in front of Ji Hao with a puff sound. The thick petals suddenly parted, looking like a few blood-red mouths.

The doll and Short-lived were both shocked. Short-lived arched its back, and a mane of hair stood on its back. The doll shrank directly under Short-lived's belly. Its small hands grabbed its hair, and half an eye poked out from the side of its belly.

The three man-eating flowers opened their mouths and rushed toward the Nether Demons, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

The doll carefully crawled out from the other side of Short-lived's belly and poked its head out to look.

The man-eating flowers blocked the edge of the Nether Abyss.

The Nether Demons that had climbed up from the bottom of the abyss were mercilessly eaten by them. Not even a scrap was left.

Short-lived's gaze toward Sang Yuanyuan gradually became filled with admiration.

This was too amazing!

Although its male master was very good at killing, it didn't have the ability to eat so many!

In Short-lived's simple view of beasts, the one who could eat the most was usually the most powerful!

The doll's eyes widened. Its two wooden fists were tightly clenched by its sides. It pouted its mouth and imitated Short-lived, making the shape of an 'ohhh'.

Too amazing!

Looking from the Great Wall in the distance, this scene was actually very dangerous.

Needless to say, the terror of the 'tide' was needless to say. Moreover, this person had gone deep into the Nether Demon wave and killed his way to the edge of the Nether Abyss.

From afar, it was impossible to see the person at all. They only knew that the layers of Nether Demons had formed a huge ball and surrounded this small person in the middle.

Terrifying roars echoed inside and outside the Great Wall. Just thinking about it made the guards panic for King You Zhou and his woman in the midst of the Nether Demons.

Most of the guards at the Great Wall were archers. They couldn't go out of the city to save them and could only anxiously wait on the city wall.

The guard hurriedly reported the military situation to King Zhang Dai, who was at another tide point.

When Zhang Dai heard that King You Zhou was alone in the tide, he hurriedly led his army and rushed over.

At this moment, You Wuming, who was' in danger ', was moving around unhurriedly, slicing the Nether Demons that were attacking him into neat piles. He piled them up around him, piling them up higher and higher.

"Fruit, come here and eat."

You Wuming's face was stained with the blood of the Nether Demons. Under the moonlight, his pale and handsome face was stained with blood, making him look like a vampire prince in the legends.

In the direction he was pointing, the corpses of the Nether Demons were piled up so high that they reached the clouds. If they were not cleaned up, they would fall down and bury people.

At this moment, the three Man-Eating Flowers had evolved to their complete forms.

Strangely, she still could not summon the fourth Man-Eating Flower.

These three flowers seemed to be holding back their strength and preparing for some big move.

Hearing You Wuming's summon, Sang Yuanyuan commanded the three flowers to pounce forward and gnaw the mountain of flesh until it was bare.

Three huge, bright red man-eating flowers glowed red under the blood moon.

Sang Yuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. She silently muttered, "Spirit Enhancement!"

The two people, the doll, and the dog sensed abnormal energy fluctuations at the same time.

The huge buds of the three Man-Eating Flowers seemed to be trembling. Due to the high frequency, they seemed to be shining and flickering.

After a while, a few fine crystal grains slowly leaked out along the three small brown tails of the Man-Eating Flowers.

White, green, black, red, and yellow crystal grains of five colors fell out one by one and landed in the bloodstains on the ground.

You Wuming was stunned for a moment. Then, she suddenly tilted her head and looked at Sang Yuanyuan.

Sang Yuanyuan saw the golden word 'money' flashing on his forehead.

"Little Sang Guo!"

His Excellency King of Youzhou, who had always remained calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, said in a trembling voice. He could not suppress his excitement. "This is … Solid Jade Crystal."

Sang Yuanyuan: "…"

No wonder it looked a little familiar.

So, when her Man-Eating Flowers ate the Nether Demons, they excreted the Five Element Solid Jade Crystal?!

You Wuming waved her hand and threw a cloth bag to the doll.

"Go, collect them."

The doll was fascinated by the sparkling crystal grains just now.

Upon hearing this, the puppet immediately sprang to its feet, and its eyes and mouth widened in excitement as it pounced toward Tang Wulin.

Her small hand reached into the pool of blood on the ground and gently scooped up the crystal sand. She brought it to her mouth and blew on it. Then, she solemnly placed it into the cloth bag in her hand and even patted the outside of the cloth bag.

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Sure enough, it dotes on its master. It's a little money-grubber.

Short-life obviously did not like the doll. As soon as it left, Short-life shook its fur happily, stretched, and relaxed.

It was normal that it did not like it.

Ever since it let the doll out, Short-life had become bald in several places.

…

After evolving and gaining the ability of Spirit Enhancement, Sang Yuanyuan found that he could continue to summon Man-Eating Flowers.

With a wave of her hand, another original Man-Eating Flower appeared behind the three fat red flowers. It stretched out its long brown stem and started to swallow the Nether Demons.

You Wuming would occasionally rush back and grab Sang Yuanyuan. It would kiss her forehead and praise, "Little Sang Guo, you're really a treasure!"

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" Do I need you to say that?!

Solid Jade Crystals!

A box of Solid Jade Crystals worth 50 bags of gold!

If it were Cloud Beasts, that would be 15,000!

If she continued eating like this, she would soon become the richest person in Cloud Realm!

However, she quickly realized that she was thinking too much.

The doll quickly collected all the Solid Jade Crystals on the ground and put them into the cloth bag. There was only a small handful, far from a box.

It stared at the four flower tails, waiting for them to produce Solid Jade Crystals.

After most of the Nether Demons were digested by the Man-Eating Flowers, they could only provide a small amount of energy to help Sang Yuanyuan produce more flowers. Only a small number of Nether Demons would leave behind Solid Jade Crystals.

You Wuming slowly moved his eyes, deep in thought.

After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, he started to provide different kinds of food to the Man-Eating Flowers.

He did not hold back anymore. With a sweep of his green light, the ground was covered with corpses.

He strode into the mountain of corpses and picked up the Nether Demons he wanted with the tip of his blade, throwing them to the Man-Eating Flowers.

Sang Yuanyuan found that the production of Solid Jade Crystals had increased significantly.

"How did you do that?" She shouted at him through the loudspeaker.

He casually picked up a corpse of a Nether Demon and put it in front of her.

"Look, it's especially strong."

Sang Yuanyuan could not see how strong this soft corpse was.

You Wuming picked up another corpse and put it to the side.

With a comparison, the difference was very obvious.

The 'strong' Nether Demon was bigger than the normal Nether Demon. It was almost to the point where it could block the entire body. Moreover, its' skin color 'was slightly different. The Nether Demon had no skin and was covered in a bloody mucus. It could be seen that the' strong 'Nether Demon's body was slightly darker under the mucus.

"This is … a water attribute?" Sang Yuanyuan asked.

"Smart!" You Wuming smiled. He used the tip of his blade to pick up the Nether Demon and threw it into the Man-Eating Flowers' big mouth.

Soon, the puppet successfully collected a Water Spirit Solid Jade Crystal.

"The Nether Demons also have attributes!" Sang Yuanyuan said in surprise. "Could it be that they can also cultivate?"

You Wuming shook his head. "It should be the environment."

"Hmm …" Sang Yuanyuan thought for a moment. "This means that many of the Nether Demons near the spirit fire mine probably have Fire Spirits on them."

You Wuming's black eyes shone with the golden light of wealth. The black blade in his hand swung even more nimbly.

The time to make money always passed by like a white steed.

Soon, the eastern horizon began to turn white.

Sang Yuanyuan had a total of 19 ultimate man-eating flowers under his command.

When You Wuming came back and kissed her forehead again, she couldn't help but sigh. "I really want to live here and not leave."

You Wuming's eyes immediately became alert. "It's going to be the wedding soon."

Sang Yuanyuan casually said, "If we can make so much money, why would we need to get married …"

Halfway through her words, she realized that the man in front of her had a dangerous expression. She hurriedly changed her words. "… Of course it's going to be the grandest wedding!

We're rich now! "

You Wuming laughed strangely. He stretched out a long finger and pointed at the small cloth bag in the puppet's hand.

"Little Sang Guo, you're thinking too much. This bit of money is only enough to light up the fireworks for half an incense stick."

Sang Yuanyuan looked at him in shock. "You still want to light up the fireworks?

That's too extravagant! "

Wouldn't the fireworks for the monarch's wedding be national level?

National-level fireworks were all burning money!

You Wuming's eyes twitched. "Little Sang Guo!

I'm the monarch of a country!

If I don't light up the fireworks for my wedding, where would I put my face? "

Sang Yuanyuan: "…" So he still cared about his face?

But for some reason, they were clearly talking about the marriage between the two countries, but it sounded like a little boy and a little girl were playing house.

The roar from afar suddenly became a little strange. The ground trembled rhythmically.

You Wuming stepped on the mountain of Nether Demons' corpses and flew up. After a moment, he frowned and landed beside her. "Someone's here."

Sang Yuanyuan reluctantly put away the man-eating flower army.

You Wuming hugged her, mounted Short-life, grabbed the puppet, and turned back to kill the way they came.

An army greeted them in front of them.

The puppet angrily puffed up its cheeks. Its two beautiful little eyebrows were tightly knitted in the middle. Its black eyes revealed an ominous glint as it stared at the person who cut off its path to wealth.

A pair of small hands clasped in front of its body, tightly clutching the cloth bag containing the Solid Jade Crystals. After accumulating them for an entire night, it was already half a bag full of them.

You Wuming stretched out his hand and tried to pull the bag away from the puppet's hands, but he couldn't succeed.

You Wuming: "…" Forget it, just let it hold on to it!

He casually threw the puppet under Short-life's belly.

A Silver Armored Army appeared in front of them.

The light of the morning sun shone on them. Amidst the bloodstains on the ground, the Silver Armored Army was dyed golden red by the morning sun.

You Wuming slowly raised one of his eyebrows.

An extraordinarily handsome figure stood tall on a war beast. His deep voice penetrated through the waves of underworld demons and came from afar.

"I heard that King You Zhou was unfortunately trapped in the tide. I specially led an army to come and rescue you!"

As he said this, countless arrows rained down from the sky without any distinction.

"It's Han Shaoling!" Sang Yuanyuan's heart trembled. "Why is he here?"

You Wuming casually shot down a wave of arrows and said casually, "It must be that bastard hiding in Zhang Du, Zhang Jing, who asked Kang Yanji for reinforcements."

Sang Yuanyuan was so angry that he laughed. "Zhang Dai asked you for help, so Zhang Jing asked Han Shaoling for help. Isn't this deliberately causing trouble?"

In this world, who didn't know that You Wuming and Han Shaoling were like fire and water?

You Wuming laughed happily and exaggeratedly. "Little Sang Guo!

You can even understand this. It's true that a great teacher produces a great disciple! "

Sang Yuanyuan was speechless.

As he spoke, another wave of arrows rained down.

You Wuming shielded Sang Yuanyuan in front of him and squinted his eyes. After shooting down the rain of arrows, he lowered his blade and prepared to charge.

No one noticed that an underworld demon that had been shot through on the ground suddenly stuck out its tongue and attacked Shang Ming's hind leg!

Shang Ming wanted to retract his leg, but it was already too late.

Just as a hint of fear appeared in his round black eyes, he saw a small figure crawl out from under his stomach. One small hand grabbed onto his fur, while the other raised the 'weapon' in its hand. With a bang, it blocked the underworld demon's attack.

Countless tiny particles of light scattered in all directions.

The Solid Jade Crystals scattered!

In a moment of desperation, the puppet actually used the cloth bag that You Wuming couldn't snatch away as a weapon to block Shang Ming's attack.

Seeing the bag full of Solid Jade Crystals flying in all directions, the puppet dazedly reached out its small hand. Its mouth opened, and its lower jaw dropped to the ground.

Another wave of arrows rained down. Shang Ming spread its legs and charged forward.

The puppet dazedly reached out its hand and opened its mouth, staring at the shiny crystals that would never return.
