(825 The Northern Expeditionary Army is trapped and waiting for help, and the Privy Council has a different dream)

Suddenly, something terrible happened. If the Sija people spread the plague in densely populated places like Houtu City and Jinyu City, the consequences would be unimaginable.

King Yun pondered for a while and said, "The Sija people are just a bunch of profit-seekers. This is because someone in the DPRK and China paid them to hire them and deliberately went against us. ”

After saying that, he paused, looked around at the other three, and said in a low voice:

"I just received an urgent report from Hong Ru from Fengdu, most of the camps on the supply line are empty, it will take at least a few months to rebuild the line, and none of us can go back for the time being. ”

The three of them were shocked, but none of them were afraid of death and panicked, and no one said anything for a long time.

After King Yun finished speaking, he clasped his hands into fists and bowed to Shuoyang Zhenren: "Xiao Wang invited the real person to sit in the town, but he never wanted to put the real person in a place where it was difficult to return, and he was ashamed of the real person." ”

Shuoyang Zhenren smiled calmly: "Your Highness, don't underestimate the old way. I'm not going to die here. But if the news spreads, there will be tens of thousands of mortals and thousands of idle people here, and I am afraid that the army will be in turmoil. ”

Yun Wang and Jin Dan are noble people, and they generally have teleportation magic weapons that can be used to save their lives in the end, such as dragon wood marrow and the like. You won't be trapped in the ice field.

The really unlucky ones are the mortals who were sent to fight against the Dust Clan and build the "Zhenyuan Tower".

On this ice field, they almost all relied on consuming the formation of pure yang pills to maintain their temperature in order to survive. Once the elixir is exhausted, everyone will surely die.

Of course, the idle Xuans who participated in the Getaway Meeting were also one of the main forces that Emperor Kun Yuan planned to fight. When the Pure Yang Pill is exhausted, most of them will not be able to go back.

"We definitely won't be able to support it for a month. Zhao Chong said with a solemn expression, "Grain and grass are still secondary, and the daily consumption of pure yang pill is huge." If the dust people intensify their attacks, they will consume more, and they will be able to survive ten days and reach the sky......"

"But we only need to carry it for another three days to build the Zhenyuan Tower. The Cloud King interrupted him, "In three days, we can use the teleportation array found beneath the ruins to leave. ”

"The one under the ice?"

Zhao Chong was a little shocked by this prince's whimsical thoughts.

They had indeed found a teleportation array in the ruins of the Snow Country. But it was a teleportation array established by the Snow Country in the Snow Capital five hundred years ago to travel to and from other regions.

When Snow Country fell, the teleportation array had been specially destroyed, and it was completely in ruins, buried under the ice for more than 500 years.

"I've sent someone to check it out. Although the damage is severe, it is not irreparable. ”

"That's just a pile of rubble, right? How can it be repaired?"

"The key to the teleportation array is the terrain. No matter how damaged it is, it's just frozen up, so the terrain is the same. Although the pivot was taken, the position was still there. The array treasure we brought was enough to restore the entire teleportation array. ”

Setting up a teleportation array often costs a lot of money and takes years. The main purpose is to find the terrain that matches the formation.

In the natural environment, you don't want to find the perfect terrain, which requires artificial transformation. For example, digging a river channel tens of miles long, or piling up a mountain, or leveling a mountain, these are extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.

If the terrain is completed, then all that remains is the formation. The formation requires a large number of formation divisions to accurately measure, repeatedly test, determine the position of countless formation hubs, and then continue to modify the terrain according to the needs of the formation.

If the terrain is intact and the location of the formation hub is also clear, just put the array treasure on the formation hub, it won't take long.

"This is not feasible!" Du Li retorted, "If the teleportation array was specially destroyed, they must have taken the nuclear jade!

Nuclear jade is not a type of jade, but an extremely delicate magic weapon made from many different kinds of spar spirit jade. Its function is to gather a large amount of energy together and release it instantly.

The teleportation array can carry out ultra-long spatial teleportation, requiring a large amount of spiritual energy to react with each other to release energy. But it's not just about releasing energy.

It requires an "excitation" process that releases a huge amount of energy in an instant to open up the spatial passage. This is all achieved by "nuclear jade".

The nucleus was shaped like a cylinder, about a person's height, not too big or too heavy.

But this thing is extremely troublesome and expensive to build, and it is only needed to build a teleportation array, and it is absolutely impossible for the Cloud King to get one to carry with him.

King Yun nodded and said, "Yes, the most important thing now is the lack of a nuclear jade. So I've already informed the Privy Council at this time, and asked them to send a nuclear jade. ”

"That's not right," Du Li asked with a puzzled expression, "Isn't the supply line already interrupted, and there is no teleportation array, how did you let them send it?"

"Although there is no relay camp, not all monks are unable to penetrate into the Northern Underworld. King Yun reminded her.

Du Li, who had refuted the Cloud King all the way, didn't squeak again for a while. The biggest problem in the North is that the cold is deep, and ordinary monks here are equivalent to being attacked by cold monks, and it is difficult to extract true qi from the aura of heaven and earth full of cold to restore mana, so they will freeze to death on the way.

But there is one type of monk who can go deep into the Northern Underworld, and that is the Monk of Cold Retreat.

This is the same as the Heaven Crossing Fire Ship can penetrate deep into the South Hellfire Sea. Because the Heavenly Fire Ship is originally a powerful fire magic weapon, it has the ability to control the fire aura.

But the Hengtian Fireship will not work when it reaches the North Underworld. Affected by the strong Xuanying cold air, it must be constantly maintained by the relay camp to continue to go deeper.

There is no flying boat in the world that is powered by the cold. However, there are monks who specialize in cultivating the cold escape technique. It doesn't take much manpower to transport a nuclear jade, and one monk is enough.

But to go deep into the Northern Underworld, not all cold monks can do it. If you want to go thousands of miles to reach the ruins of the Snow Country and return safely, I am afraid that you must at least have the strength of Jindan.

"Wait," Du Li remembered something again, "You said that you have a broken plan, just counting on these guys who put Huo Plague behind your back to send you nuclear jade?"

......

Thousands of miles away in the middle of the Shenzhou, in the city of Houtu, the Privy Council, which was originally dark in the middle of the night, actually lit lanterns, and those ancient cornices, pillars, and deep courtyards were reflected in the shadows of the lights.

From time to time, luxury cars stop at the door, and one by one the big people who are gorgeously dressed or dressed plainly come in.

The last to arrive was Luang Chai. Emperor Kun Yuan came in person.

The Privy Council was one of the two central yamen in the Houtu Dynasty. The other is the province of Zhongshu. The word "central" is the joint name of the Zhongshu Province and the Privy Council.

The left prime minister of Zhongshu Province is in charge of the affairs of the world. However, when it comes to the use of the army and foreign wars, the White Tiger Decree must be issued by the Privy Council and approved by the emperor's imperial pen Zhu before it can take effect.

Although most of the royal family of the Hao family are Xuanmen monks, the people who control the Central Province and the Privy Council are all contemporary Confucians.

Even if the Xuanmen monks have monstrous power, they can't control people's hearts. It is easy to be worshipped, but it is difficult to control the food, drink and Lazar of tens of millions of people of the Houtu Dynasty. As long as one is not managed well, worship will soon turn into a monstrous grudge.

In ancient times, there was no Privy Council, and the labor expedition only arose with the lord of the country. There are many examples of winning wars and losing people's hearts.

In the end, the Hao family decided to set up a privy council, and a group of Confucians carefully led the hearts of the people to their backs, and made great contributions to the Hao family's control of Hun Yuan Shiyu.

Inversely proportional to the splendid Kunyuan Palace, the Privy Council is an ancient courtyard, full of quaint and even somewhat dilapidated.

However, on a simple old wooden plaque, the three words "White Tiger Hall" are as sharp as a knife, and they are extremely strong.

The furnishings in the White Tiger Hall are extremely simple. There is a large rectangular table in the center, and Emperor Kun Yuan sits on it. The next one is a poem with three deputies and a total of four privy councillors.

In addition to this table, it is surrounded by seats, all of which are auditoriums. The final White Tiger Decree was decided by four privy envoys and approved by Emperor Zhu. All those present in the gallery have the right to make suggestions, but not to change the decisions of the Privy Councillors.

The list of those who can sit in the auditorium can be designated by the emperor and the privy councillor. And this time, Prime Minister Zuo, the National Teacher, the Imperial History of Zuodu, the Book of the Ministry of War, and the head of the Tongtian Bureau of the Ministry of War, these figures with heavy handles in their hands sat around one by one and listened.

When all the big people were seated, the privy envoy Zuo Cheng immediately threw out the urgent report of King Yun.

When the Cloud King's army arrived at the Snow Ruins, the Snow Ruins had already been overrun by the Dust Witch's Dust Army. It was only after a bloody battle that they drove the Dust people away from the center of the ruins and were able to begin building the Zhenyuan Tower.

The Frost Dust Witch has a huge 10,000-year-old Xuanyin Tree, which can shelter the cold air of the ice field, so that tens of thousands of dust people can survive there for a long time. And the army of the Cloud King does not have such a thing, and can only be maintained by constant supply.

However, the Huo plague broke out on the supply line, and the line has been completely interrupted. The army could not retreat and could hold out for no more than ten days at most. It can be said that it has reached the point of nine deaths.

The army of the Cloud King was buried on the ice field along with thousands of disobedient Xianxuan, which was certainly the result hoped for by the emperor who sat on the first seat. But he couldn't have said it.

These old Confucian students in the Privy Council pay attention to the peace of the country and the people, and the people's hearts are stable. The emperor actually made a trick to kill his own people from behind, if this matter spreads, won't it force the world to rebel?

"Your Majesty, the only way to do this now is to quickly dispatch the Jindan Han Dun Monk and bring a nuclear jade to rescue His Royal Highness the Cloud King!"

As he expected, Zuo Cheng did not hesitate to throw this problem to him.
