Chapter 199: Send a ride

After Chu Qin retreated to Lingyun County, she ordered the city defense to be strengthened, and asked the Tong Shi Deng Xichen to go to Lingyi County with his token to supervise Lingyi County to strengthen the city defense.

Three days later, Chu Qin received Gu Du's truce letter. Gu Du wrote it very simply, thinking of his wife and children, and agreed not to use troops within one year, and then talk about it one year later.

Chu Qin frowned, what the hell is Gu Du doing? If you don’t want to fight, just don’t fight. There are so many reasons, why use this kind of words as a reason for a truce?

After thinking for a while, Chu Qin understood that Gu Du was showing his sincerity to him, using this seemingly absurd reason to just show his sincerity to quit.

So Chu Qin replied with a letter, promising not to use troops within one year.

In fact, Gu Du still deceived Chu Qin. The real reason was that he received a letter from Dongfang Xia Lan that Mo Xuan suddenly didn't eat or drink and was listless all day long.

Originally, Dongfang Xialan thought he had left Heimulin for too long and wanted to take Mo Xuan back to Heimulin, but Mo Xuan didn't leave at all and always hugged Dongfang Xialan in his arms.

Dongfang Xinghao said that Mo Xuan was hundreds of years old and might be his fate, so Dongfang Xia Lan wrote a letter to ask Gu Du to return to Tanyuan Mountain.

Gu Du immediately wrote a truce to Chu Qin. After sending someone to send it out, he immediately set off. He believed that Chu Qin would agree, and he wrote a reason that seemed absurd but reasonable. Chu Qin would be suspicious and dare not move lightly even if she wanted to fight.

Gu Du had to go back. Mo Xuan was not only a spiritual beast, but also an elder. Without Mo Xuan, there would be no Zeguo today, nor his majestic and powerful uncle.

Mo Xuan was leaving, and he had to send him a trip no matter what. Even if he lost the city and lost his troops and generals, he would be willing to do so.

Dongfang Xialan leaned in Mo Xuan's arms, her eyes were red and swollen. Mo Xuan closed her eyes and breathed heavily, but she rolled Dongfang Xialan with her tail.

Seeing Gu Du, Dongfang Xia Lan choked and said, "Husband, Mo Xuan is afraid he can't do it anymore. He has not eaten for seven days, but just drink some water occasionally."

Just as Gu Du was about to speak, Mo Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and looked straight at Gu Du.

Gu Du moved his heart, took two steps, knelt in front of Mo Xuan's face on one knee, looked at it and asked, "Mo Xuan, are you waiting for me?"

Mo Xuan's eyes turned to Dongfang Xia Lan, then turned back to look at Gu Du, and repeated this three times.

Gu Du suddenly understood and said, "Don't worry, I will never let Xia Lan down in this life."

Mo Xuan squirted through his nose and then turned his eyes repeatedly.

Gu Du frowned and thought for a moment, saying, "No matter what the situation of the battle, I will think about Xia Lan first. I will never take risks with myself, and I will not sacrifice my life to avenge Jin Lan."

Mo Xuan looked at Gu Du calmly, as if nodding his head, and then closed his eyes.

"Mo Xuan?" Dongfang Xia Lan reached out and pushed Mo Xuan's head, but Mo Xuan had no reaction and his breathing stopped.

"Mo Xuan!" Dongfang Xia Lan suddenly slapped Mo Xuan and shouted at the top of her lungs: "I'm calling you! Open your eyes!"

Gu Du hugged Dongfang Xia Lan in his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Ah..." Dongfang Xia Lan howled and kept calling: "Mo Xuan! Mo Xuan! Mo Xuan..."

Dongfang Xinghao ordered people to build a huge coffin in advance and chose a burial place. When Mo Xuan was buried, the whole family came to worship with the rituals of his ancestors.

After the funeral, Gu Du hurried back to Linghe County without taking Dongfang Xia Lan. Dongfang Xia Lan had to wait for a while. Gu Du had no time to accompany her all day, so it would be better to let her stay at home, with relatives to accompany her, and often go to Mo Xuan’s grave to take a look.

One day in late Tengyue, Linghuang was in the morning court. Chu Huaizhong, the head of the Wenzheng Department, came out to memorial: "The emperor, I received a memorial from Linghai County yesterday afternoon, saying that the sea water had faded black and became clear."

The Spirit Emperor stood up and asked, "When did it happen?"

Chu Huaizhong replied: "The memorial says..."

"Take it to me!" The Spirit Emperor interrupted Chu Huaizhong, his tone a little impatient.

The imperial official quickly submitted the memorial to the Linghuang. The Linghuang read it carefully with a serious expression. After reading it, he threw the memorial on the desk, sat down silently, frowned and silently.

The memorial said that from the end of the Danyue, the sea water gradually faded, and by the beginning of the Vines, it had basically turned back to clear. The county magistrate of Linghai County, Du Fangsheng, ordered people to put a wooden board into the sea and waited for three days, but there was no sign of rotting at all.

The Spirit Emperor was silent for a long time before he stood up and said, "The inner palace of the Three Sessions discussed matters."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and the imperial officials shouted: "Retreat!"

When he arrived at the inner hall, the Spirit Emperor had already taken out a roll of bamboo slips. The dark color indicated that the roll of bamboo slips was old.

This bamboo slip is very long, and when unfolded, it is even longer than the table. It is not written with a pen and ink, but carved with a knife and injected with ink. It can be seen that the content above is extremely important.

The Spirit Emperor said, "Three dear friends, come and have a look."

The three of them noticed that the Ling Emperor was unfolding the bamboo slips upside down, so the three of them came to the table together and carefully read the words on the bamboo slips.

The rough meaning of the bamboo slips is that as early as five hundred years ago, there was a Bear Man Kingdom overseas. It crossed the sea to the Linghuang Continent and burned, killed and robbed. The people of this country were extremely fierce and tall, and most of the soldiers of the Ling Kingdom were not as good as that. Although they fought hard, they could not stop their courage.

Later, a sorcerer came from the east to meet the Ling Emperor and told Ling Emperor that there was a place to go. There was an immortal island in the East China Sea, called Zhenling Island, and there was a rare beast on the island, called Mo Xuan. If you got this beast, you could relieve the troubles of the Bear Man Kingdom.

But there is one condition, that is, the royal bloodline must be in person, otherwise it will not only not only fail to find the rare beasts, but will also die on the Immortal Island.

So the Emperor of Spirit drove to the east and took two years to bring back the precious beast Mo Xuan. Then he used the spell left by the sorcerer to turn the sea water into black. Anyone who comes into contact with the black sea water will turn into vanish.

In this way, the Xiong Ren Kingdom can no longer invade the Linghuang Continent, but Mo Xuan has a life span of five to eight hundred years. If Mo Xuan dies, the spell will become invalid and the sea water will return to its original state. As the Ling Emperor, he must go to Zhenling Island in person and find another Mo Xuan to come back.

The three of them looked at the Spirit Emperor with strange eyes. When Mo Xuan was taken away by Dongfang Xia Lan, the Spirit Emperor sent troops to expedition. He once said that if he could not take it back, he would kill Mo Xuan to prevent future troubles.

The Spirit Emperor said calmly: "I didn't know this ancient scroll. Month ago, I dreamed of Mo Xuan, chasing and biting me. I was powerless to fight each other, so I ran hard and inexplicably ran to the ancestral temple, knocked down the ancestor's spiritual position, and saw a hole under the spiritual position, with a bamboo slip inside."

The Spirit Emperor sighed, silent for a moment before continuing, "After waking up, I felt strange, so I went to the ancestral temple to check it out. I really found this ancient scroll. After reading it, I realized that Mo Xuan was here to remind me, maybe it had passed away a month ago."

The three of them looked at each other and Zhong Qi said, "Your Majesty, please ask Chu Qin to ask Gu Du, thinking it's verified."
