Chapter 176 Dead Eunuch
Originally, Marquis Wuding Guo Xun really didn't want to care about how the King of Jiushan fought. He just wanted to see people sending troops every day. As long as they sent troops, he would report to Jiajing that they were fighting. As for whether it was a real fight or a fake one, he really didn't dare to care.
The King of Nine Mountains was originally a great devil. He had killed countless dukes, nobles, and earthly immortals from aristocratic families. He did not want to become a victim of the great devil's knife.
However, he didn't want to care about what Jiajing wanted to do. Jiajing was upset after being troubled by Chen Jiu, so he sent someone over again.
It was not yet noon that day, and he was practicing in the palace of the imperial city. Chen Jiu suddenly ran over and said with a sad face: "My Lord, we were ambushed today and suffered heavy casualties."
ah!
Well, how do I put it?
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun was stunned for a moment, then asked carefully: "My Lord, how many casualties are there?"
Chen Jiu pretended to be sad and angry and said, "Thousands were killed and tens of thousands were injured. I was a little angry, so I ran to the capital to seek justice for them, but I almost had a quarrel with His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
Oh my god, what are you doing?
Marquis of Wuding Guo Xun didn't know what to say.
Chen Jiu sighed again and said, "My Lord, you should know His Majesty's temper. I'm afraid he will send someone over again."
In fact, he had already received the news that Jiajing had sent more people over. He thought that Guo Xun, the Marquis of Wuding, was sensible and wanted to keep him. The people Jiajing would send later were most likely ignorant, so he wanted to kill them!
When Wuding Hou Guo Xun heard this, he felt mixed emotions.
To be honest, Japan is too dangerous, and he really wants to go back. However, he is reluctant to give up this rare opportunity. As long as he can coax the King of Jiushan and slowly follow the King of Jiushan to conquer Japan, he can be promoted to the Duke!
And this King Jiushan seemed to be quite easy to talk to. As soon as he said that he was close friends with the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Ding, people became very nice to him.
Oh, should I go back or not?
He hesitated for a while, then asked carefully: "My Lord, what should we do now?"
You are a real sensible guy.
Chen Jiu said solemnly: "Go and take a good look at the injured soldiers, learn about the situation with them in detail, and then write a detailed memorial back. You will be considered to be going with the army, understand?"
King Jiushan wants me to stay!
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, why don't you take me to see it now?"
Chen Jiu took him to the courtyard of the wealthy family where the casualties suffered the most without hesitation.
That guy, the coffins were lined up in rows, the injured were everywhere, the lightly injured were helping with the work, only those who really couldn't get up were lying in bed.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun pretended to be compassionate and went over to comfort him. Then he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Your Majesty, what are monsters and demons?"
You have to go see this with your own eyes.
Chen Jiu immediately took him to a compound where evil spirits were being dealt with.
Those guys were all monsters that were several meters or even more than ten meters long. An ordinary pot could not hold them all. So there were rows of big pots in the yard.
Seeing this, Wuding Hou Guo Xun couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Can these monsters be eaten?"
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Yes, these monsters are all at the level of demon kings, which is a great supplement for blood and qi. Lord, how about I send you a pot of it to try later?"
Of course I have to try this great tonic for qi and blood.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, thank you very much, Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I will go back and write a memorial. Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.
At about 3 p.m. that afternoon, the people sent by Jiajing arrived. They were an old eunuch with a team of strong middle-aged eunuchs.
The old eunuch ran over and found Chen Jiu, and asked gloomily: "Your Majesty, will you continue to send troops tomorrow?"
You want to die, right? Okay, I’ll grant your wish.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said lightly: "Of course."
He didn't even bother to ask this guy what his name was. He would be dead tomorrow anyway, so it didn't matter what he was called.
At about noon the next morning, an army of 50,000 noble families and tens of thousands of bat soldiers gathered outside the south gate of Kyoto City.
Chen Jiu pretended to inspect it, then asked, "Eunuch, do you want to go with them to take a look?"
Of course, His Majesty has ordered that I must go and take a look no matter how dangerous it is.
The old eunuch said without hesitation: "Well, I will go with the army to see how powerful the Japanese pirates are."
Hehe, you will know soon.
Chen Jiu pretended to call Grandmaster Hongyun over and explained in detail: "Grandmaster, you must protect the eunuch well and never let anything happen to him."
Patriarch Hongyun pretended to be serious and nodded, "Okay, Your Majesty."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then summoned Sun Wukong and led his army out.
Patriarch Hongyun also specially found some war horses and rode slowly to the side of the army with the eunuchs.
Chen Jiu looked at their backs and sneered, "My Lord, you saw it too. They insisted on following us. If anything goes wrong, you can't blame me."
You mean to kill them today?
Upon hearing this, Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, broke out in a cold sweat.
This big devil is indeed cruel and ruthless, and must not be offended.
How did Chen Jiu kill these eunuchs without leaving any trace?
This is very simple.
Patriarch Hongyun clearly knew that those monsters and demons came out of Lake Biwa, but he still rode on this side of Lake Biwa with those eunuchs.
The children of the aristocratic families were walking carefully away from Lake Biwa, but Patriarch Hongyun suddenly pointed at Lake Biwa and said, "Eunuch, the scenery over there is nice. Let's go and take a look."
After saying this, she rode her horse towards Lake Biwa.
The old eunuch didn't want to see any scenery at first, but the war horses they were riding followed involuntarily, and they could hardly hold them in. There was nothing they could do but to follow and take a look.
How could they know that these war horses were controlled by Chen Jiu, and Chen Jiu had detected that those monsters had already swam towards this side, so he used his spiritual sense to tell Ancestor Hongyun to hurry over.
This time, the earthly immortals from the wealthy and aristocratic families are all ready, and Chen Jiu has been investigating carefully with his spiritual sense. Naturally, nothing will go wrong, except for these eunuchs.
As soon as Patriarch Hongyun took them to the lake, a large number of monsters suddenly emerged from the lake.
She pretended to be panic-stricken and summoned a bunch of magic swords to wrap around her body. She grabbed her warhorse and turned around to run away. This time, the warhorses ridden by the eunuchs did not catch up.
Not only did the war horses not follow them, they also rushed into the pile of monsters with them.
This time, even the earthly immortals would not be able to escape, not to mention that these eunuchs are not earthly immortals.
Soon, they were torn into pieces by the monsters and demons. At this time, the earthly immortals from the wealthy and powerful families had already taken their family disciples into their immortal palaces, grabbed the bat soldiers and started to flee back.
Upon seeing this, Chen Jiu drew out his Kaitian and rushed forward, starting to chop.
He was not greedy and killed about five hundred before letting the rest of the evil spirits escape.
This time he did not give the meat of the monsters to the wealthy families. Instead, he put the octopus legs and snake bodies directly into his immortal palace and used them to make soup for the newly born monkey monsters. As for the heads of the monsters, he mixed them together with the fragments of the dead eunuchs and put them into his demon power space.
Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, was still standing on the platform in a daze.
What was going on? Why did the army flee back in a hurry just after setting out, and not a single child from aristocratic family was left!
Could it be that they were ambushed again?
This King of Nine Mountains can’t be so incompetent that he could allow people from aristocratic families to be ambushed twice in a row!
In a flash, Chen Jiu flew back.
He threw the heads of the monsters and the broken pieces of the eunuchs to the ground , and then said angrily: "What's wrong with these guys? I told them it was dangerous, but they didn't listen and kept running into the monsters. How can I explain this to His Majesty?"
You are too cruel. How am I supposed to explain this to His Majesty?
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun stared at the broken pieces, frowned and pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, this time I have to go back and explain to His Majesty in person."
Okay.
Chen Jiu immediately summoned a hundred bat soldiers and said solemnly: "My Lord, you can take turns to sit on the same seat every quarter of an hour. You should be able to get back to the capital in about two hours."
It turns out that these bat soldiers can fly so fast. It looks like they can fight back and forth today.
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Your Majesty, don't worry, I will explain it clearly to His Majesty."
After saying that, he collected the heads and fragments, led the bat soldiers and rushed to the capital.
Jiajing was a little unsure at this moment. Was it King Jiushan who was deliberately delaying, or were the Japanese pirates really too powerful?
He sent his trusted eunuch over there so that people could see with their own eyes how powerful the Japanese pirates were.
Unexpectedly, the person who came back was Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.
Seeing Guo Xun looking exhausted, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why did you come back? Where's Chen Hong?"
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun pretended to be terrified and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to protect Eunuch Chen and the others."
Does this mean Chen Hong and the others are dead?
Hearing this, Jiajing couldn't help but asked coldly: "What's going on?"
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun made up a story: "I knew it was dangerous in front of the battle array, so I asked Eunuch Chen and his men to hide in the battle array. Eunuch Chen refused to listen and insisted on running to the front of the battle array to see what was happening. As a result, he was torn to pieces by the monsters."
Jiajing asked suspiciously, "Monster? What monster?"
Wuding Hou Guo Xun introduced in detail: "The Japanese seem to call them Bull Ghosts and Snake Gods. The Bull Ghosts are monsters with bull heads and octopus bodies, more than ten feet tall. The Snake Gods are giant poisonous snakes more than ten feet long. There are so many of them, tens of thousands of them, covering the sky and the earth. Even the earthly immortals cannot escape when they are surrounded."
Jiajing still doubted, "What's the use of having more than ten feet of monsters? At most, they are monster kings. Can't the earth immortals take those monsters?"
Wuding Hou Guo Xun explained in detail: "The suction cups and poisonous tongues of those monsters seem to be able to disrupt the space. Not only can the earthly immortals not subdue those monsters, but even the children of the aristocratic families who are fighting with the monsters cannot subdue them."
Is there such a thing?
Jiajing frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Where are Chen Hong and the others? Have they been brought back?"
Wuding Marquis Guo Xun nodded repeatedly and said, "I brought it back."
Jiajing said without hesitation: "Let him out and show him to me."
You really want to see them being torn apart by monsters!
Wuding Hou Guo Xun pretended to hesitate and said, "Your Majesty, many of them are in the monster's mouth. I even brought back the monster's head. There is no room for them here."
Upon hearing this, Jiajing stood up and went out, pointing to the bluestone ground outside and said, "Let him out."
Okay, don't blame me for making this place dirty.
Wuding Hou Guo Xun gritted his teeth and released a pile of huge monster heads and fragments.
Jiajing couldn't help but frowning when he saw this, but he still stepped forward to take a closer look.
There is no way, these eunuchs were really torn to pieces by monsters, this is not fake.
It seems that Japan is quite difficult to defeat.
Okay, let them fight with the Japanese pirates and monsters, it’s best if they are all consumed!
