Chapter 275 - Reporting to the Lingxiao Hall, Ritian is Going To Battle! (2/2)
Soon, the two of them reached the topic about the main objective of their trip.
“Horse, what should we say later? We can’t just say that we want to use the convenience of the Netherworld to exchange for a few jars of seasoning, right?”
“Ox, the main point is the secret formula for condiments.”
“Isn’t it too inappropriate to ask for the secret formula? That should be Li Changshou’s secret.”
“This…”
Horse-face pondered for a while and felt troubled. He raised his hand and touched his mane out of habit, but he realized that he did not take the lead.
Ox-head suddenly jumped up and shouted, “On the cloud in the south! Look, that guy Changshou! Is he back!?!”
“Let’s go. Remember to take the lead and shout like cows and horses. We have to be thick-skinned today and get some seasonings!” “If you can’t do it, give him some of our Netherworld’s local specialties!”
At that moment, they put on his headgear and restored their ident.i.ty as the Soul-Reaping Envoys. They mooed twice and neighed softly to find their sense of ident.i.ty.
A sanguine cloud condensed under their feet and carried them up slowly. The speed of their flight was a little… touching.
Underground, above the clouds, the Heavenly Courts, Anshui City, Li Changshou’s main body and the paper effigy were both supporting their foreheads with one hand. He never expected that Ox-head and Horse-face would go to the Immortal Du Sect for… barbecue condiments.
Li Changshou’s paper effigy on the Little Qiong Peak immediately got busy.
He did not dare to let Ox-head and Horse Face stay in the Immortal Du Sect for long. He could only feel at ease if he made them leave earlier.
Four hours later, in front of the Sea G.o.d’s residence in the Heavenly Courts, Li Changshou’s Sea G.o.d paper effigy rode a cloud and appeared leisurely.
He seemed to be in a very good mood.
Two groups of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals immediately wanted to escort them. Li Changshou smiled and said, “Why do we need guards when we’re walking in the Heavenly Courts? Everyone, rest for now. I’ll go to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to see His Majesty.”
The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals hurriedly lowered their heads and acknowledged. They watched as the old immortal rode a cloud and slowly walked towards the Heavenly Courts’ core.
Li Changshou recalled what had happened previously and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ox-head and Horse-Face were indeed there to ask for seasonings.
The two Soul-Reaping Envoys suddenly stopped the team that was going to “bring Aunt-Master home “. Youqin Xuanya, Ling’e, and the young girl who had brought Aunt-Master back were shocked. They thought that the demons had ambushed them.
Fortunately, Jiang Lin’er, who was familiar with the ways of the world, quickly bowed and pointed out that the Ox-head and Horse-face were the Soul-Reaping Generals of the Netherworld. She hurriedly asked the two generals why they had come to the Immortal Du Sect.
Ox-head and Horse-face stammered. It was difficult to say it in front of so many people. They could only look at Li Changshou affectionately.
At that time, Ling’e keenly captured that gaze and exclaimed in her heart, “Could it be!?!”
Then, she raised her hand to cover her eyes and admired herself for her wonderful imagination.
After the incident where he trapped her between the wall and his arms previously, Ling’e understood… that her Senior Brother liked women.
However, the woman he liked must be steady enough. She cannot add too much karma to Senior Brother.
When Li Changshou saw Ox-head and Horse-face having a hard time explaining, he took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile, “Brothers, how have you been?”
Ox-head and Horse-face nodded heavily.
Li Changshou said to Exalted w.a.n.g Qing, “Aunt-Master, this is my old friend. Uncle-Master, please bring everyone back to the mountain. I will come back after talking to them.”
“Alright.” Exalted w.a.n.g Qing did not ask further. He rode a cloud and led the group towards the gate of the sect.
The fairies, quasi-Demons, fairies, and young mortal ladies on the cloud looked at Li Changshou with some surprise.
Only Qi Yuan was focused on cultivating. He did not know what had happened…
When Li Changshou personally handed the two vats of condiments to Ox-head and Horse Face, he said, “If you’re done, you can go to the Sea G.o.d and tell him. I’ll make some condiments later and place them at his place.”
At that time, there was an emotional look on Ox-head and Horse-face’s faces…
They had almost become sworn brothers with Li Changshou!
The two Magi were quite interesting when they left. One of them shouted and told Li Changshou to go to the Netherworld when he was free, while the other shouted for Li Changshou to live a long life and not leave his name in the Book of Life and Death.
Li Changshou could only smile and wave his hand to send them on their way.
After returning to the mountain, he could not avoid being interrogated by the Little Qiong Peak’s foodie team. They asked him how he had become brothers with the experts of the Netherworld.
Fortunately, Li Changshou had gone to the Netherworld twice. One time, Jiang Lin’er was present. The other time, Jiu Jiu accompanied him. It was not troublesome to explain and he pa.s.sed the test easily.
Then, on the Little Qiong Peak, everyone began to discuss the important matters that they had not decided on during the journey.
Who would take Aunt-Master Wan Jiangyu as a disciple?
Jiang Lin’er originally wanted to take in another disciple, but she felt that her cultivation level was not too high. Moreover, Exalted w.a.n.g Qing had taken the initiative to express that he could take in ten disciples.
The two of them were discussing that matter. Most importantly, Jiang Lin’er was a little hesitant…
Li Changshou did not interfere. He meditated quietly in a corner and did other small things.
The main content of the trivial matters included drawing up a memorial, contacting the dragon race, and confirming the dragon race’s intentions. He wanted the dragon race to explore the gathering place of the deep-sea demons first… and so on.
After Li Changshou finished writing the memorial, Jiang Lin’er was still hesitating.
He continued to work and got the paper effigy that was stationed in the Heavenly Courts to ride a cloud towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.
The content of the memorial was to ask the Jade Emperor to send troops and join forces with the dragon race to clear out the deep-sea demons in the five continents and help the Western Sect cut their branches.
That step had extraordinary meaning. It could deepen the connection between the Heavenly Courts and the dragon race, and also make the dragon race feel closer to the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou and the dragon race had already discussed the conditions beforehand. The Heavenly Courts would choose a general as their main general. The dragon race’s troops would cooperate with the Heavenly Courts’ troops to build a preliminary relations.h.i.+p.
At the same time, they would weaken the external forces of the Western Sect and take the initiative to retaliate against the Western Sect. They would end the situation where they had been pa.s.sive all along…
It was extremely meaningful.
After entering the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, Li Changshou handed over the memorial and stood in front of General Dongmu.
The Jade Emperor, who was dressed in a white brocade robe, sat on the throne on the platform. After reading the memorial, his eyes flickered. He immediately patted the desk and laughed.
“What a brilliant plan, Minister Changgeng! Let’s do this immediately! How many troops do you want? Is 500,000 enough!?!”
“Your Majesty,” Li Changshou hurriedly said, “The Heavenly Courts’ foundation is not thick yet. They easily have 500,000 troops. The losses will definitely be uncontrollable. Why don’t we use the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers as a benchmark to raise the elites of the Heavenly Courts? Together with the method of forming troops with beans, we can use battle formations and armor and allow them to complement each other. That would be enough to match hundreds of thousands of troops!”
“Hahahaha!”
The Jade Emperor clapped his hands and laughed. “My dear Changgeng, I admire you the most. You must consider everything carefully. General Dongmu, use the tiger talisman to deploy troops for Changgeng!”
General Dongmu immediately received the order. “Yes, Your Majesty!”
“Your Majesty,” Li Changshou continued, “I can offer a plan. I can be a strategist, but I cannot be a general. I hope that Your Majesty can appoint a trusted general to join the battle. This should be the first time the Heavenly Courts are going out to show their might. We have to make the Heavenly Courts famous. General, you should think carefully.”
“It’s rare for you to be so thoughtful!”
The Jade Emperor muttered to himself. General Dongmu’s body swayed. He puffed out his chest but did not dare to raise his head. He tried his best to express his existence.
Li Changshou was actually hinting at that…
He did not want to take all the credit for himself. He was only in charge of giving advice and mediating. He would leave the fighting and killing to General Dongmu.
However, what Li Changshou and General Dongmu did not expect was…
“Speaking of generals to lead the troops, I have a suitable candidate.” The Jade Emperor blinked at Li Changshou and smiled. “General Dongmu?”
General Dongmu suppressed his excitement and accepted the order. He shouted, “I’m here!”
“Go and summon the Golden Tungsten General, Hua Ritian. He will be the commander-in-chief this time.”
Uh…
Li Changshou chuckled in his heart. So the Jade Emperor is going to personally lead the expedition.
It is not strange for him to be excited.
However, it’s been hard on Brother General Dongmu. He might have to be paranoid for a while again.
