Chapter 1205: Plant and Tree Spirits, Born in the Morning and Died in the Evening
The flames of war are raging and the sound of fighting is loud. This confrontation has lasted for nearly a month. It is less than a month before the end of the electoral system, that is, the time for the people to elect the new emperor.
If all the preparations and receptions made in the early stage are included, the real remaining time will be even less. Among them, the most anxious person is none other than King Yong. After all, this is the person involved!
Compared with the current war, the success or failure of the election system is what truly determines the future of King Yong, and is also a major event that determines the fate of the people under King Yong's command.
Therefore, seeing the tense situation of the war, a group of staff petitioned, requesting King Yong to temporarily return to Liuchen County to deal with matters related to the electoral system. After the matter was completed, it would not be too late to return to the front line for supervision.
It's just that at this time, King Yong's stubbornness took over. He had to defeat Wu Yi or achieve a decisive victory before returning, because this would bring the greatest gain to King Yong.
War is a continuation of politics. It is not advisable to raise an army out of anger or resentment. But now, King Yong has dug a hole for himself. He sent troops in the name of quelling the rebellion, but now he has reached a deadlock.
In King Yong's mind, he could have wiped out Wu Yi in one go. In any case, the situation has reached a stalemate, and it is impossible to end the battle in a short time through normal means.
In order to achieve the final victory, King Yong's thoughts became more and more biased. He searched for Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying more and more frequently, and the requests he made became more and more unreasonable. He repeatedly asked Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying to send Wu Yi Kill them completely to avoid future troubles.
Not many monks near Pegasus City know the relationship between the inner demon body and the human body, but Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying are definitely one of them.
For the sake of King Yong, it is necessary to offend Wu Yi, a person who should be robbed. The risks behind this are not proportional to the benefits. Whether it is worth it is a matter worth thinking about.
If King Yong succeeded to the throne successfully, he might have some bargaining power, but now, Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying only agreed verbally, but in actual combat, they shied away time and time again.
On this day, King Yong found Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying again. They thought that he would still urge the killing of Wu Yi. Unexpectedly, King Yong's request actually asked them to set fire to the grain. If Wu Yi hoarded All the food was burned, and the morale of the army was shattered. It was self-defeating without attacking.
The granary is heavily guarded. If you want to burn a big enough flame, you don't know how many ordinary soldiers will be implicated, and they will also fall deeply into humanity.
Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying were about to refuse, but King Yong said: "After the matter is completed, I will ask the imperial court for a reward for the two of you, and the country will prosper or decline!"
Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying looked at each other and seemed to be tempted. King Yong continued to increase his weight: "In life, there is nothing more than fame and fortune. As long as you two accomplish this and get whatever you want, I will definitely not treat you badly!"
After that, King Yong personally wrote the six characters "Cheng Wei Cheng Ying Kehou" and gave them to the two of them as a guarantee.
King Yong may have thought that just because he had a handwritten letter, it would be no big deal if he wanted to regret it in the future. However, for Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying, the point was not the so-called fame and wealth, but that King Yong's move had actually shaken the situation. The foundation of the humane dynasty.
"I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations!" The two of them thanked without mentioning anything, and then they finalized cooperation matters with King Yong. When the granary caught fire, what was the order?
The two men left King Yong's camp and led more than ten soldiers to the hilltop not far away to prepare for casting spells.
The spell they used this time was not the clay figurine they used before, but the grass elves formed by absorbing the power of the nearby vegetation. The grass elves were only the size of a bean dot and were extremely difficult to detect.
These grass and tree elves die day and night, with almost no spiritual energy in their bodies. At the moment of death, the vitality in their bodies will be extremely rich, and then they will turn into a raging fire and die brilliantly.
If there are enough of these plant elves lurking in the granary, they can indeed achieve the purpose of burning the granary.
There is no doubt that this is a major event that can turn the tide of the war. The inner demon body, which has been watching from a high place since the beginning of the war, naturally sensed it immediately and came down without shying away, appearing in front of the two of them.
Those soldiers couldn't feel it, they just felt a breeze blowing by and felt a little depressed in their hearts. They didn't know the reason.
"You two have crossed the line!" The inner demon body said bluntly, warning the two of them to stop immediately.
It was easy for Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying to avoid the surrounding soldiers from communicating with the demonic body. Cheng Wei's face did not change and he said: "This is a God-given opportunity, why don't you take it, fellow Taoist? If you succeed overnight, you will be the king. No one can shake the position.”
The Heart Demon Body looked at the two people in front of him and frowned. Wu Yi naturally understood the timing of what they said. This time King Yong was eager to achieve success and exposed a series of problems himself. When he attacked the city with heavy troops, , it is completely possible to send surprise troops directly to the central camp.
Not to mention defeating King Yong, it is not impossible to go one step further and kill King Yong with the help of rebel soldiers.
If King Yong is really killed, the order will completely collapse. There is no doubt that the inner demon body will receive unimaginable benefits. This catastrophe will truly begin, and there will be no possibility of reversal.
"You two have a good calculation. Are you planning to make a profit by then?"
"If that's the case, if fellow Taoist succeeds, it will be a major event in the path of immortality. Even if you don't take it, it's okay. When the time comes, it won't be anything more than what fellow Taoist wants!"
That's right. The initiative is in Wu Yi's hands, and this fact has not changed. The problem is that once things really go as the two of them lead, then the inner demon body will no longer have room for reversal, and there will be no room for maneuver.
In the face of huge interests, can the inner demon body stick to its original intention? This is a question worth thinking about.
Without saying much to the two, the inner demon body turned into wind and left, silently, just like when it came. Wu Yi did not stop the two, which itself represents a certain attitude.
Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying continued to refine the grass and wood spirits that live and die every day. Soon, the grass and wood spirits were almost all over the mountain. Under the operation of the two, the grass and wood spirits followed the earth veins and infiltrated into Pegasus City little by little.
Just like the flow of ordinary earth vein power, there is no resistance from the power of humanity at all. Many times, you have to admire the magic of these two people. It looks ordinary and simple, and even a foundation-building cultivator can recover it. However, it can completely bypass the order of humanity, and the means are not ingenious.
If a human had one tenth of their abilities, he wouldn't have stayed in the Daji Dynasty for so many years, and in the end, he would still have to rush into a flame like a moth to achieve his goal.
