Twilight Boundary
Chapter 850 - 815: Two Weights_3
The people in the Path believe someone is making things difficult, so they dare not bet on the Food Protection Army.
Faced with this predicament, the strategists are beyond worried, and even those who don't eat beef are troubled.
It was at this time that a letter was delivered by a little girl in red to Ming King Yang Gong's camp. After reading it, the Ming King felt relieved.
He immediately summoned everyone and made two decisions with a cold smile: "We are an army against bandits, only seeking peace for the people of this world. Even the ghostly gods must step aside wherever we go, let alone wild ghosts or lesser gods daring to move mountains to block my path?"
"Quickly, in my name as Ming King, write a royal decree, head to the mountain front and command that lesser god to move the two mountains immediately."
"Also, prepare two hundred laborers, offer substantial rewards, carry out the king's order, and wait in front of the mountain."
"If that lesser god refuses to obey, then dig open the two mountains. If it isn't opened in one day, then two days, and if not in two days, then three days, not leaving a single blade of grass for him!"
"..."
These few orders were executed publicly.
Within a day, the Ming King's decree to reprimand the lesser god and move the mountain was spread everywhere.
The commotion was even more noticed than when the Food Protection Army took Huzhou.
For a time, people from four provinces and five paths looked on, either thinking the Ming King was crazy or watching eagerly.
Yet amidst this excitement, Ming King Yang Gong secretly arranged for news and patiently waited three days. On the third day, outside the camp, a feast was set with wine and meat, in a grand style, and the camp was open for guests.
Initially, people found it strange, but by midnight, laughter could be heard, as though some were merrily drinking and chatting.
Drinking into the midnight, someone inside the camp said: "Ming King Yang Gong listen, back in Shangjing City, you borrowed ten thousand troops to help us out, we are not ungrateful, we have always regarded you highly."
"The most important thing is, seeing you enter Huzhou, not disturbing the people, sparing the city, refraining from plundering gold and treasures, or abducting noblewomen, it appears you are a good one."
"Today we help you out a little, just hoping you won't let us down."
"..."
As they spoke, they left, and those inside the camp came out to see the table scattered with cups and plates.
Others were still unaware, but those who don't eat beef were somewhat excited, secretly discussing: "The third volume of the Heavenly Book summons the Divine Weapon to descend, the Sect Hierarch truly did not deceive us, this time we bet on the right thing."
"..."
"..."
"They are coming..."
The same was true at the border of Tengzhou, in front of the two mountains. Having had Little Hongtang deliver the letter to Yang Gong, Hu Ma felt relieved and stayed in the mountain, drinking tea with Er Guotou, asking about Sister Wu He's experiences over the years.
Wu He inherently felt gratitude, and now naturally served diligently, not only Hu Ma, but even Er Guotou looked at her differently.
Thus they waited until the third day, when the Ming King's envoys arrived.
A large troop, ushering the no beef Think Tank Iron Mouth, came to the mountain front, holding the royal decree aloft, facing the towering mountains, shouted: "By the command of Ming King, I come to Chi Mountain:"
"Our Food Protection Army arose from Mingzhou, seeing the rampant evil spirits and suffering people, we take the heavenly mandate to quell military disasters, banish demonic specters, wherever the king's banner reaches, the people rejoice, how can there be Wild God to block my path?"
"Now that the royal decree has arrived here, command you move the mountain overnight, lay the road for troops, so as not to hinder the grand plan of defeating bandits."
"If there is no compliance, then appeal to the Zhensui Mansion, destroy the mountain and temple, ruin your golden body!"
"..."
These words echoed all around, resonating through the empty valley.
Due to these two large mountains appearing overnight, countless people from the Path came to investigate.
Now with the royal decree announced, it startled everyone, leaving them at a loss.
"Summoned us to help, yet you're here drinking tea, relaxed!"
In this stillness and confusion over how the Food Protection Army from Mingzhou had the confidence to issue a decree directly to the mountain, someone climbed the mountain, saw Hu Ma and Er Guotou waiting under the pine tree drinking tea, and laughed.
Hu Ma looked closely and recognized most of them; the leader among them tall and handsome, carrying an umbrella, was the Reincarnator Huizhou small team leader, codenamed Floral Carving Wine.
Following him were naturally the other Huizhou Reincarnators, and he walked straight to the tea table, placed his umbrella down, looking confidently with a plan ready in his mind.
"Do you have a method to move the mountain?"
Hu Ma personally served tea to him, curious himself.
He thought to break the trickster's Magic, those coming would likely be trickster's people.
After all, they say Shousui restrains tricksters, but these real mountains aren't affected by his Shousui skills, so he could only hope for trickster's help.
Yet unexpectedly, it was Hall God Negative Spirit who came.
"Actually, if it hadn't spread in Shangjing City that you were an undercover Reincarnator, I should have met you long ago."
Floral Carving Wine drank tea, placed the cup aside, looked solemnly at Hu Ma, saying: "I am a Reincarnator, but also a negative spirit person. Earlier when you were at Old Yin Mountain, sacrificing and calling spirits, returning blessings to the people, you did a great benevolent act."
"From then on, as a Reincarnator, I believe you are by no means treacherous, and as an incense-burner before the Hall God, I even grew grateful to you because you moved those old folks."
