The wind and snow outside this house are getting heavier and heavier, covering the sky.
The city outside the palace was covered with snow and the tiles were covered with black.
When leaving the city, the Dark Road was covered with black snow, like straight black lines, lying across the wilderness in the wind and snow.
It was neatly built in the farmland on both sides of the Lingqu, and a lot of snow fell.
Looking back at the palace, the snow on the jade tiles on the palaces made the crystal clear of the past hidden under the snow.
A carriage parked in front of the gate of the central courtyard.
The one who pulled the cart was two strong blue-black oxen. This beast soul named Xiqu was good at running and could carry weights, so it was better to use it to pull the cart.
The rectangular carriage on the car is also made of blue-black Xuanshui jade, which is not afraid of the flames of swords and axes. It is square in appearance, and the four pillars support the roof that is higher in front and slightly lower in the back, and is surrounded by red jade and vermilion.
The doors and windows are embedded with glazed glass, with hanging ears, and gorgeous decorations.
There are two copper bells hanging on the left and right sides, with dragon-shaped ornaments standing on the top of the wind chime, and the wind chime is also swaying gently in the wind.
This is the chariot that Xiao Shizhu walked around the palace. It was not made by him himself, but also the thing made by the ancient gods found in the warehouse in the palace.
Chen Ruo had already boarded the bus and placed a small stove in the carriage to warm up the carriage before getting off the carriage.
Xiao Shizhu took Lin Cong's memorial book in his hand and walked out of the yard with the ghost mother, and boarded the chariot.
When they sat in the car, the ghost mother reached out and pulled the silk thread hanging down by her hand, and a bell outside rang out.
Jin Lei walked forward with a spear and walked to the front of the car to drive the road. The driver in the car raised his whip and drove along with Jin Lei, heading towards the inner courtyard.
Chen Ruo and Qinglan followed closely behind the chariot with a few guards.
If it were in the past, although the distance from the central courtyard to the inner courtyard was not close, if Xiao Shizhu had nothing important to do, he would rather walk by himself and walk back.
However, the wind and snow are too strong today. After he came back from Huangquan, he was weak and afraid of coldness. He really couldn't stand the thunder in the wind, so he called the carriage to carry on.
The driver drove the car very steadily. Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting in the car, didn't feel the bumps at all. He was still leisurely, and looked at Lin Cong's original song in his hand.
I won't be shaking and feel the words on the playbook are dazzling.
The car had already placed Su Tianju, and the spiritual medicine prepared for him by Xiao Shizhu. It was mainly to improve his physique. It temporarily maintained his ghost life and used some tonics and strange medicines.
The ghost mother picked up the medicine pot, poured a bowl of medicine soup into the glass bowl, and handed the bowl to Xiao Shizhu.
Xiao Shizhu, who closed the book, looked at the dark medicine soup that looked like a blooming flower bowl, motionless and did not even have a ripples. He smelled the faint smell of medicine and slowly frowned: "
I always feel sleepy after taking this medicine. Can I avoid it for a day?”
"Drink it, just sleep when you feel sleepy." The ghost mother did not bargain with Xiao Shizhu, but said quietly: "I can do whatever else I have to deal with."
If other Patriarchs heard this, the ghost mother would be immediately pulled out of the palace gate and executed. But Xiao Shizhu felt warm after hearing this.
Over the years, many affairs have been accomplished by the ghost mother. But this ghost mother not only has outstanding abilities, but even if she holds the power, she has never been disloyal from him.
This is why the sun and moon in the court of Jiuyou Kingdom are in the same sky.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xiao Shizhu no longer resisted the medicine soup, took the medicine bowl and drank it all in one go.
After a few gurgles, the soup in the medicine bowl was gone.
"There are no outsiders, why do you say this?" The ghost mother took the medicine bowl, took out her embroidered handkerchief, carefully helped her husband, and wiped off the medicine soup hanging on the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, I won't talk about it next time." Xiao Shizhu, who was in front of the ghost mother, was very well-behaved most of the time.
He put down Lin Cong's memorial in his hand, and then said, "Look at the Beiyin Chao intelligence points that Lin Cong chose to pull out, how about?"
The ghost mother started to ponder.
After a while, he slowly spoke and said, "Although the name of our Feng Seizure (the name of the information point in Jiuyou Kingdom) is different, and there are many titles and alias, it is difficult to distinguish the primary and secondary points of these points. But Lin
From the perspective of the location of the Congs, they are still relatively important to the Northern Yin Dynasty. If you pull them out, the Northern Yin Dynasty is in Fenglin Island, and they are both deaf and blind.
”.
Although this answer is just the inference of the ghost mother herself, it is also the result of careful consideration.
Judging from the locations of the Beiyin Chao strongholds that Lin Cong indicated in the memorial, these information points were connected to a huge network in Fenglinzhou.
It is very convenient to communicate information between each point, and it is also very fast to transmit information to the outside world.
Although these intelligence networks were not set up for Jiuyou Kingdom, Fenglinzhou has an alliance with Jiuyou Kingdom, and the remnants of Xuanyuan Army led by Zhuanxu and Yinglong.
Now it is not the time to unify the underworld, Xiao Shizhu knows it, and the ghost mother knows it too.
As long as Zhuanxu and the others are still fighting fiercely in Fenglinzhou, even if they still fight guerrillas in the same mountains as they are today, the pressure on Jiuyou Kingdom in the Western Frontier will be reduced.
The puppets of the Northern Yin Dynasty helped up in Fenglinzhou have no time to care about Jiuyou Kingdom.
Moreover, Zhuanxu and Yinglong were able to restrain a large number of Xuandi Army and Fengdu Army, constantly consuming materials and money from the Northern Yin Dynasty.
Helping Zhuanxu and Yinglong is helping Jiuyou Kingdom.
"Yes, without these intelligence networks and points, Fengdu is a deaf and blind man in Fenglinzhou. The ghost generals of the Northern Yin Dynasty who commanded the army in Fenglinzhou have also become deaf and blind man." Xiao Shizhu nodded,
I agreed with the ghost mother's speculation: "Zhuanxu and Yinglong will have a better life."
"When Lin Cong pulled out these points, he had to let Zhuanxu and Yinglong know about this." When the car stopped, the ghost mother said: "It's better for them to know who they owe.
love."
"Lord, **, Juexiangyuan has arrived." Qing Lan outside the car came near the door and said softly.
Xiao Shizhu silently picked up the memorial book and got off the car with Guimu.
As soon as he got off the car, he saw Su Su, a disciple of Su Tianju, standing at the gate of Juexiangyuan, waiting for them.
The national teacher Yingying is no longer in the capital, and all the affairs of Su Tianju are left to this disciple to take care of. Including how to dispense medicine to Xiao Shizhu, Su Su is also responsible for it.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Shizhu walked to the door and asked Su Su.
"King." Su Su didn't say much, but just made a pulse to Xiao Shizhu and Guimu. The couple knew that Su Su was here to treat Xiao Shizhu.
"Come on Su Su." The ghost mother called Su Su, took her to follow Xiao Shizhu, and walked slowly towards the main building in Juexiangyuan.
When he entered the building, Xiao Shizhu sat on the rocking chair beside the pool under the window. Su Su sat next to him, stretched out her slender fingers and put them on his pulse without any bias.
After this match, Su Su frowned.
"How?" The ghost mother left Chen Ruo and Qing Lan outside the building, followed in and asked anxiously.
"The king has not spent much effort recently. He is in a good mood and has not been too sad or excited. It is a good thing and is beneficial to the condition." Su Su took back her hand and smiled faintly: "I have to continue."
Only by maintaining such a state of mind can you get better and better.”
This is not all true. At least Su Su can't do anything to cure Xiao Shizhu's current illness.
To put it this way, Xiao Shizhu is somewhat relieved.
As for the lifespan of ghosts thrown by Xiao Shizhu in the underworld, it is no longer something Su Su can do.
"I will deliver the medicine in four hours." Su Su, who stood up, bowed to Xiao Shizhu and Guimu, and then withdrew from the main building.
Xiao Shizhu also got up and stretched as he yawned.
After drinking this medicine, he was really sleepy. As for the doctor's words, Xiao Shizhu just did it after hearing it, and he was too lazy to worry about the others.
However, this medicine made Xiao Shizhu gradually feel that his eyelids were a little heavy. Now, he really wants to lie down for a while.
He walked slowly and walked towards the bed. The ghost mother called Chen Ruo, prepared warm water for Xiao Shizhu, washed her face and hands and feet, and then left and left.
Then he helped Xiao Shizhu take off his shoes and socks and let Xiao Shizhu lie down on the bed.
"After an hour, call Fuling and wake me up." Xiao Shizhu slowly closed his eyes and said to the ghost mother: "The ghost people's meeting she held for me, what's going on at this meeting?
What happened, I haven’t understood everything clearly yet, so I have to ask again.”
The ghost mother responded, took the brocade quilt, and helped Xiao Shizhu cover the quilt...
This world has different winds and sky, and the underworld is the same as it is.
The heavy snow in Yuque City has been falling for seven days and has not stopped yet. However, it has been a sunny day on Shuoyue Island, and it is still a sunny day tonight.
The stars are bright and the night sky is bright.
The waves around Shuoyue Island are not surging.
Under the nightfall, the sea water near the coast was much gentler. During the day, the waves several feet high were gone.
The tide comes and goes, gently brushing every inch of the coastal beach on Shuoyue Island.
Going further to the depths of the island, you can't hear the sound of this peaceful tide.
Except for the silence in the fields after the wind, every town is extremely lively.
The ghost market at night is noisy, even worse than the daytime.
Many towns on Shuoyue Island have been rebuilt and have regained their vitality and prosperity again. Of course, there are ghosts that are going to be lively at night, and the ghost market at night has naturally become a place for these night owls to enjoy.
All major towns are brightly lit and bright.
The downtown area of Xiaoyu Mountain City is much more lively than other towns. From the bottom of the mountain, there are many people and bustling places.
But it is much quieter halfway up the mountain.
Yingzhao's mansion was just halfway up the mountain, in the high walls and deep courtyards, and was not affected by the lively ghost market.
Deep in the mansion, there is a small courtyard. The yard is lush with green bamboo forests and strange grasses. There is only a small house with green bricks and green tiles in the courtyard.
That is Yingzhao's study in the mansion.
The room is brightly lit tonight.
After Yingzhao took dinner, he came to the study.
Yingzhao is now kneeling on the bed in the study, holding a long pen in his hand, staring at the table in front of him, spreading out blank letter paper, thinking about what to write.
Ying'er walked in with tea and fruits.
"Are you writing a letter to your son?" He put down the shadow of tea and fruit in his hand, and also raised his four hooves, knelt across from Yingzhao, and looked at Yingzhao's unwritten white paper.
Ying'er thought that Yingzhao was talking about how to write a letter to her son who was fighting abroad.
Yingzhao, who couldn't figure out how to write a letter, put down the long pen in his hand. He sighed, picked up a letter in his hand and handed it to Ying'er: "I have asked the messenger to take away the letter for my son. I am
I was wondering how to reply to Lu Wu.”
"Your third brother." Ying'er took the letter in her hand and looked around, but she had not opened the letter for a long time.
After all, this letter must have been written by Lu Wu to Yingzhao. It is also private. Maybe it involves national affairs, so Ying'er dares not take it apart and read it carefully.
"Look, it's okay." Yingzhao raised the teacup and said to Ying'er.
With his words, Ying'er slowly opened the letter and looked at the bean lights of the oil lamp.
But it would be fine if I didn't look at it. When I saw it, Ying'er was immediately frightened, and her palms were sweating profusely. The fear in her eyes instantly filled her eyes.
His hands holding the letter were trembling uncontrollably.
The letter was indeed written by Lu Wu, and the handwriting was exactly the same, but it was just the content, which made Ying'er creepy.
Ying'er's hand trembled a few times, and the letter in her hand fell off and fell on the table.
In the letter, Lu Wu asked Yingzhao to advise him to make a lord Xiao Shizhu and establish a crown prince. And to complete this matter as soon as possible, he had no choice but to put pressure on his lord Xiao Shizhu.
Everyone knows that Xiao Shizhu now has only one son, that is Xiao Fulei, a concubine.
Originally, the legitimate illegitimate illegitimate looks nothing to Xiao Shizhu, but Xiao Fulei is just a boy who has not been completely weaned. So soon, Lu Wu is going to urge Xiao Shizhu to become a crown prince. Isn’t the purpose of choosing Xiao Fulei?
When Xiao Shizhu wanted to establish Xiao Fuling, Lu Wu was eager to object, but the reason was that the Xiao family's country could not be handed over to other people's descendants in the future.
It is reasonable to force this way; although Xiao Shizhu still wanted to establish Fuling, the ministers all used this as a reason to argue with reason, which made Xiao Shizhu's matter delay.
Now that Xiao Shizhu has just returned from Huangquan, Fu Lei's mother Tu Yaoqing's death is approaching.
Everyone knows the heart of Sima Zhao of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, and it is only a matter of time before the war with Jiuyou Kingdom.
At this critical moment, Lu Wu openly stood up to make Xiao Shizhu appoint Xiao Fulei as the crown prince, and his purpose was clear at a glance. It was simply because of this that Xiao Fulei would not even have a foreign aid in the future, and there was no point in being backing him.
If you want to stabilize the position of crown prince, you can only rely on Lu Wu and other ministers who were going to establish crown prince.
This is where Ying'er can tell at a glance that Lu Wu's selfishness is also the place where Ying'er is frightened.
What Xiao Shizhu was most annoying was that his subordinates interfered with his family affairs.
When Xiao Fuling was young and ignorant, he stole the chicken from a family in the city. Xiao Shizhu personally whipped it and took Xiao Fuling to ask for compensation for the ghost people, it was not unsuspecting that Xiao Shizhu was too disciplined by the child.
.What's more, Master Weng is the eldest daughter of the Pope, who is very noble, so there is no need to whisper like this.
But what happened to the people who spoke for Xiao Fuling later? They were either demoted because of sesame-sized things, or they were arranged to do things far away from the court center.
Xiao Shizhu has always felt that his family affairs do not need to be interfered with. What's more, Xiao Fuling is already an act of stealing. Even the emperor is also a crime for the common people. What's more, he wants Xiao Fuling to know that he can treat ghosts by any means on the battlefield.
The people cannot touch any law.
So those ministers who wanted to flatter Xiao Fuling and Guimae took the opportunity to get a reward, but none of them were rewarded. Instead, they were dealt with by Xiao Shizhu.
Ying'er also knew about this.
But today, Lu Wu is much more courageous than those ghost officials back then.
Lu Wu not only wanted to interfere in Xiao Shizhu's family affairs, but also vaguely fulfilled his plan to be loyal to the new king. However, Xiao Shizhu was still alive, and he was simply too bold and arrogant to do it.
