Chapter 147: Going to War
After seeing Gu Shijiu and Jiang Heng leave, Xiao Yao did not continue to stay in the conference room to drink tea, but directly stood up and walked out of the room, and began to arrange personnel to notify relevant matters seven days later.
What Gu Shijiu just said was the limit of the information he could convey.
When Xiao Yao thought of the upcoming grand scene, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
At this moment, Gu Shijiu was completely immersed in the expectation of improving his own strength.
As an eighth-level saint, he has already stood at the pinnacle of this world.
He was filled with endless curiosity about how powerful he had become.
Jiang Heng was also very excited. Although he was only a fifth-rank escort king, in this operation, the strength of a fifth-rank escort king was almost insignificant and could only be regarded as a bottom-level existence.
Therefore, Jiang Heng plans to use these few days to adjust his condition and strive to perform better in the action.
The three of them each had their own thoughts, and time passed quickly without them noticing. In the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.
……
During these seven days, the actions of the Hengdao Escort Agency in gathering people and horses have caused a lot of waves. All forces are waiting for someone to take the lead in expressing their stance. This approach of the Hengdao Escort Agency is undoubtedly a signal to all forces, telling them that the Hengdao Escort Agency is going to express its stance.
Imperial capital, Yang'an city, imperial palace.
In a remote palace, the current emperor was sitting on the main throne, and below him stood four or five old men in gorgeous clothes, each with an extraordinary demeanor.
"What do you think Xiao Yao from Hengdao Escort Agency wants to do?"
The emperor asked.
The current emperor ascended the throne a hundred years ago. He was one of the three emperors of the Shenlong Dynasty. The first one, Emperor Shenlong, and the second one, Emperor Yang'an, were both great emperors throughout the ages. They both had extraordinary means. The current emperor is called Emperor Yangtian, and he has been keeping a low profile since he ascended the throne. Outsiders do not know his means.
The people below looked at each other in bewilderment. Others didn’t know, but they naturally knew how terrifying the methods of this seemingly mediocre Emperor Yang Tian were. When they heard Emperor Yang Tian’s question, they were all speechless for a moment.
"A bunch of rubbish, don't you have any ideas at all?"
Emperor Yangtian was a little angry. After all, no matter who it was, he would not be happy if he raised a bunch of good-for-nothings.
An old man in splendid clothes stood up and said in a firm and powerful tone:
"I think it's a good thing. Hengdao Escort Agency was never among our targets. No matter which path he chooses, it will be beneficial to us."
"Oh? Tell me in detail."
Emperor Yangtian reluctantly piqued some interest, sat up straight, and prepared to listen to the old man's detailed explanation.
The old man didn't intend to say anything more, but just said again:
"If you follow me, you will prosper; if you go against me, you will perish. There is no need to elaborate on such a simple matter."
After the old man finished speaking, Emperor Yang Tian laughed loudly, and then said in a cold voice:
"It's not that simple. I believe you if you say so. What a great Hengdao Escort Agency, what a great Xiao Yao. Interesting, very interesting."
As Emperor Yang Tian spoke, his smile faded and his voice turned cold.
“Although I don’t know what the Hengdao Escort Agency has the confidence to not treat my game as a game, but the Hengdao Escort Agency does have smart people.”
After Emperor Yang Tian finished speaking, everyone below broke out in cold sweats.
Of course they themselves were clear about the trap they had set up. They originally thought that the Hengdao Escort Agency had no idea it was a trap and had jumped in, but they didn't expect that they had already seen through their trap.
I was originally on the third floor, thinking I was superior, but it turned out that the people from Hengdao Escort Agency were already on the fifth floor. The fourth floor is about knowing the situation and breaking it, while the fifth floor is about making sure the situation is not resolved.
Everyone present was smart, so they naturally figured it out at once. However, they were all confused as to why. They were wondering why the Hengdao Escort Agency could ignore their plan.
Just because an early eighth-level saint dared to ignore their plan? That's not good enough, unless...
Everyone was thinking of something, and Emperor Yang Tian naturally thought of it as well.
Emperor Yangtian said softly:
"If it was the Supremes from Hengdao Escort Agency who came out, they could certainly do this, but the Immortal is approaching, and I don't think Hengdao Escort Agency would do such an unwise thing. It's quite interesting, let's continue to watch."
The people below naturally would not disobey the words of Emperor Yang Tian, and all said obediently:
"promise."
……
The seven-day period has expired.
Everyone from the Hengdao Escort Agency had been waiting outside the meeting room of the Hengdao Escort Agency headquarters early in the morning. Inside the meeting room, there were only Gu Shijiu, an eighth-rank Escort Saint, Du Sha, a sixth-rank Escort, Jiang Heng, a fifth-rank Escort, and the second elder and the third elder, both seventh-rank Escort Emperors.
A moment later, Xiao Yao arrived and entered the meeting room.
Xiao Yao smiled at everyone and walked out of the conference room with Gu Shijiu and others.
Xiao Yao cleared his throat and said to the people below:
"Today, my Hengdao Escort Agency has been ordered to go and support the troops outside Zhenxie County. Zhenxie County intends to rebel, which is intolerable by heaven."
Xiao Yao cleared his throat again and said:
"This time, the support troops are led by two Escort Saints, Gu Shijiu and I. We are followed by two Escort Emperors, Second Elder Lu Yuan and Third Elder Monet. Ten sixth-rank Escort Emperors, including Du Sha, are the core, and fifty Escort Kings, including Jiang Heng, are the main force. There are a total of sixty-four people."
Everyone was stunned when they heard the words. Gu Shijiu's name was not unknown. Everyone had heard about the previous events in the Tiandao Secret Realm. The events in the Zhenxie County were also widely spread. The events in the Bodhi Secret Realm and the Zhenyao County were also known to everyone.
But in everyone's impression, Gu Shijiu is only a fourth-level escort master. In eight years, even if he breaks through, he can only be a fifth-level escort king at most? Even if he exceeds the limit, a sixth-level escort emperor is enough.
What the hell is this? An eighth-level escort master?
Everyone felt as if the sky was falling.
However, no one questioned it. After all, these words were spoken by Xiao Yao, who was also an eighth-rank escort master, so they were naturally credible.
In an instant, everyone looked at Gu Shijiu with fiery eyes.
In the crowd, there was a hint of admiration in Lin Zhong's eyes. He originally thought that his cultivation level of the late fifth stage was already quite good. Except for monsters like Zhao Hongling, Gu Shijiu, who had been sleeping for so long, was definitely not as good as him.
I didn't expect that Gu Shijiu has quietly surpassed me so much.
Xiao Yao looked at the reactions of the crowd below, smiled and continued:
"Today, my Hengdao Escort Agency will rush to Zhenxie County as quickly as possible. I calculated that it will take ten days if we go at full speed without baggage."
"I order everyone from the Hengdao Escort Agency to head to the outside of Zhenxie County as quickly as possible. Do you understand?"
Du Sha was stunned when he heard this. Others did not dare to ask him, but he dared. Du Sha said doubtfully:
"What do you mean by fastest speed?"
Xiao Yao glanced at Du Sha and spoke again:
"Don't bring anything except your storage ring. No outposts, no large troops. Only one sharp arrow. Stab it hard. Do you understand?"
Everyone understood instantly and shouted together:
"Great Elder, I understand."
