Mortal Immortal Gourd

No one knows the outcome of the battle between Xia Mingyuan and Ancestor Bee.

However, General Donkey had received a message from Patriarch Feng, ordering his army to stop advancing, maintain the status quo, and cease war with the Qingzhou Army, and not to start another war.

Ergouzi looked at the message from Ancestor Feng.

I guessed in my heart that the result of the Nascent Soul War was probably that Ancestor Bee did not take advantage, or even lost.

However, the defeat should not be too tragic, otherwise it will be more than just a truce.

At the very least, the demons must be allowed to retreat from the three occupied counties.

After this battle, General Donkey led the demon army to successfully capture the three counties of Qingzhou, and his reputation greatly increased.

Coupled with the strong advocacy of Chi Lin, an honest man, General Donkey has completely confirmed his title as the Demonic Light.

Among the army of monsters, General Donkey was the only one who followed General Chilin's lead, while General Diaoren obeyed General Donkey's advice.

Now under Ancestor Bee, General Donkey is already the most powerful person in the army.

After the war, General Donkey gave up the money, spiritual stones, elixirs and other trophies. He only wanted the entire population and the territory of two counties.

The demons occupied a total of five counties in Qingzhou, and General Donkey owned three of them, as well as the five counties that Ancestor Bee had previously rewarded.

It's just that the population under his command is a bit small, with a total of only two to three hundred thousand people. A lot of land is deserted and no one is cultivating it.

From now on, we can only slowly develop and reproduce the population. He is very experienced in this aspect.

After taking over the land and population after the war, General Donkey left all the management matters to Ma Ming, and he left again.

When Ergouzi returned to Shekou Mountain, he saw Zhuer sitting alone on the top of the mountain, holding his chin with one hand, looking at a humanoid puppet in front of him in a daze.

"Ergou, you're back!"

"You were gone for a total of 107 and a half days. I miss you so much every day."

"Look, this is the face I made for the puppet. Does it look like you?"

Originally, when Ergouzi made puppets, the face shapes were just decorations, so he was very casual.

Many puppets have crooked noses and eyes that are one high and one low.

If you can do it without being too ugly, you are already showing your sincerity.

The puppet in front of Zhuer at this moment has the same face shape as Ergouzi, and the same honest and simple expression, which looks lifelike.

"Wow, you did so beautifully!"

Ergouzi sincerely exclaimed, it was much better than what he had done.

"It's not that I did a good job, it's that my second dog is very beautiful."

This silly girl Zhu'er is so real and never lies.

"Actually, I had nothing to do these days when you were away. I was thinking about your appearance, so I started making faces for the puppet.

I have made many faces, but this one is the best and most like you. "

"Zhu'er is still very clever. Without your skillful hands, I wouldn't be able to make beautiful things..."

After being separated for many days, the two exchanged compliments when they met, which made both of them feel warm in their hearts.

"Ergou, you smell so good..."

Zhu'er was in a happy mood, her face was slightly red, she took a deep breath and said a little shyly.

Er Gouzi was frightened to death.

"Zhu'er, are you going to eat me now?"

When Zhu'er heard Er Gouzi's question, her face turned even redder.

"Disgusting! You can say such embarrassing things."

"Is this...is this embarrassing?"

Ergouzi doesn't understand. Is it shameful to eat a lot of people?

"Uh-huh……"

Zhuer blushed and lowered his head.

"I'm not ready yet, don't worry..."

"Oh, oh...I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time and prepare."

Er Gouzi breathed a sigh of relief. He was really not in a hurry.

He has never developed a hobby of being eaten since he was a child.

Hearing Er Gouzi say that he was not in a hurry, Zhu'er's red face revealed a little disappointment.

The two chatted for a while, and Ergouzi found a piece of paper and pen and spread them out on the stone table at the top of the mountain.

"Ergou, what are you going to write? Do you need my help?"

"I plan to write a memorial to the emperor."

Ergouzi said, already picking up his pen and starting to write.

"Wise and wise, possessing literary and martial arts skills, virtuous and boundless longevity, the supreme emperor Longxing. Enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as heaven.

The monsters have repeatedly invaded our land of the Great Zhou Dynasty and hurt our people. Their ambitions are obvious.

Recently, the demons, with their tiger and wolf troops, have captured the three counties of Qingzhou. Now hundreds of thousands of people are homeless...

…………

I have received the emperor's favor and have the ambition to serve the country. I am heartbroken and can't sleep every night.

I will raise the soldiers of Sanyang County to fight the demon to the death. Even if I am unable to catch him, I will die with no regrets! "

Ergouzi didn't cry about poverty this time, nor did he ask for benefits.

Instead, the focus is on showing one's loyalty and trying to make oneself as tragic and tragic as possible.

Donkey said: Every time you open your mouth, there will be benefits, and the feelings will be weak.

Now, when he should be asking for benefits the most, he didn't mention the benefits and instead talked about feelings.

"Er Gou! Are you going to fight the demon army?"

Zhu'er looked at the memorial written by Er Gouzi, a little worried and a little moved.

Since arriving in Sanyang County, wherever I go, I often hear people praising Lord Qingtian for his immeasurable merits.

Zhu'er got to know Ergou better. Ergou is the best good person in the world, and he is willing to fight for ordinary people.

When Er Gouzi saw Zhu'er's clear eyes, he couldn't say that the donkey general who led the occupation of the three counties of Qingzhou was himself!

"I once promised the emperor that I would take back Liusha County and Xiaoyi County."

"A man, a real man, is a man of his word. Of course, he must do what he says."

Zhu'er's eyes began to shine again when she looked at Er Gouzi. Her man was a hero who was loyal and kept his promises!

Er Gouzi wrote a memorial and sent someone to the capital. At the same time, Xia Mingyuan in Qingzhou was also writing a memorial.

In fact, the occupation of three counties by monsters this time had nothing to do with Er Gouzi in Sanyang County.

He was just a small county governor, and the lost three counties were not his territory, so he naturally did not need to bear any responsibility.

Er Gouzi wrote that just to add more gold to his face.

But as the general of Qingzhou, Xia Mingyuan had no choice but to take responsibility for the loss of cities and land.

In Xia Mingyuan's memorial, he first reported the fact that the three counties were occupied by monsters.

Since he had suffered a defeat, he naturally had to exaggerate the strength of the monster. The more he boasted about the enemy, the less he looked like a waste.

Then he boasted about how bravely the Qingzhou army fought.

He boasted about how many people died bravely and how many people would rather die than surrender for the dignity of the court.

In this way, even if he lost three cities, it didn't seem that big of a mistake.

In addition, there were people from his faction in the court who could help speak up, so the crime of losing cities and land was not that serious.

Then, he showed weakness in his memorial, admitting that the Qingzhou army was not strong enough to beat the monster.

He begged the court to send more troops to recover the lost land of Qingzhou.

With the court now surrounded by enemies and stretched to the limit, it was definitely unable to send troops.

In the past, there was a well-known national defense army, but now part of the national defense army has been destroyed, and the national defense army is too busy to handle it.

So he added another paragraph at the end of the memorial, hoping that the court could provide Qingzhou with a batch of resources such as elixirs and spirit stones.

He wrote so much, but his real purpose was to ask for some benefits from the court.

Border officials everywhere were like this anyway. Whenever there was a war, they would take the opportunity to ask for benefits from the court.

Xia Mingyuan wrote the memorial and arranged for someone to send it to the capital by express horse.
