A month ago, Mo Zhai led them to quietly set off from Mo Luo Mountain, the main altar of the Mo family. After carefully avoiding the sentries and searches of the Emperor Xuan Army and the Fengdu Army, they went to the seaside on the northwest border of the Black Tooth Kingdom. At that time, Lin Cong
I originally thought that Mo Zhai was going back to Fengdu, but I never thought that Mo Zhai would take him to a Cangbo boat hidden in the Huangquan Sea in a reef cave close to the shore.
Since then, they have been drifting in the Yellow Spring Sea relying on the fresh water and food that the Mohists put on the boat; sometimes going south, sometimes west, and sometimes north, sneaking in the water without any rules or plans.
Only at night would they rise to the surface, stretch out the bulkhead of the upper cabin, and collect air.
Even Lin Cong was a little confused now. He had been secretly wondering if Mo Zhai had changed his plan temporarily. After all, such things had happened before. However, he was afraid of making many people suspicious and did not dare to ask more questions, so he had to pretend
While I was very curious about everything on the ship, I secretly guessed in my heart.
"Oh!" Now Lin Cong asked inadvertently, and after Mo Zhai told the matter without hesitation and doubt, Lin Cong quickly pretended to have a natural realization, and then asked urgently: "Is it at the altar?
When you told me that we were going to Fengdu to make a big move?" As he spoke, the excitement on his face reappeared, even more than before.
It seems that being able to follow Mo Zhai to do bad things makes him extremely happy.
"Yes." Mo Zhai chuckled; Lin Cong was always like a child, with emotions and sorrows written on his face, which made Mo Zhai feel at ease.
"Such a ghost will never betray me." Mo Zhai smiled, but said to himself in his heart.
"But why don't we go to the Qinglong Sea? Isn't that faster?" Lin Cong scratched his head again and complained: "In this Yellow Spring Sea, it doesn't matter if you can't see the dragon, you can't see the fish, it's all muddy water
It’s so disgraceful!”.
"Hahaha." Mo Zhai was startled for a moment, and then he smiled even more cheerfully. He smiled and bent down slightly. Then, like coaxing a child, he said to Lin Cong in a much gentler tone than before: "
Yes, it ruins the scenery. We won’t leave next time. Isn’t this the navy with the old ghost Fengdu on the Qinglong Sea? If we leave, we are courting death. We have no choice but to do so!”
After Lin Cong thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "That's right."
"Brother, why do you think so comprehensively?" After a pause, he raised his hand and patted his forehead, and then sincerely complimented: "Why didn't I think of that?".
Mo Zhai smiled and said nothing; but from the faint pride in his eyes, it could be seen that Lin Cong's flattery was very useful.
"I'm tired after playing for a long time. I'm going to take a nap." Before Mo Zhai's pride dissipated, Lin Cong yawned, stretched, and headed straight to the rear cabin.
He always went his own way like this, and Mo Zhai was already used to it. He didn't care at the moment, just said: "Go ahead.", and stopped caring about Lin Cong.
After entering his own rest cabin on the ship, which was so small that it could only fit a small bed, Lin Cong closed the door, and a fungus emerged from his sleeve and quickly climbed onto his shoulder.
Although Mo Zhai had magical powers at his side, his perception was not as strong as Yingying's, so he was unable to notice that the fungus had been following Lin Cong.
The fungus just sat down on his shoulder, and before he spoke, Lin Cong quickly made a "shush" gesture, raised his open left hand, and faced the fungus with his palm.
He knew that although Mo Zhai's perception was not strong, his hearing was very good. When he spoke at this time, even if he lowered his voice through the cabin door, he would still be heard by Mo Zhai who was not far away, causing the bacteria to
Even if his whereabouts were revealed, he would still be in danger of his own life, so he chose a method of not telling anyone to convey the information.
Then he let out a long yawn, and at the same time, using the index finger of his right hand as a pen, he slowly wrote the words "Mo Zhai's plan for Fengdu remains unchanged" on the palm of his left hand.
The fungus used the dim light of the runes to see clearly what he wrote, then nodded his head, climbed down his arms again, and got into his sleeves.
Ice rain and cold wind fell into the tiankeng one after another, beating everything in the Jade Palace. Most of the raindrops followed the eaves and gathered on the corners, then paused and suddenly fell to the ground; among the pavilions of the palace, on the floor tiles beside the lush bamboo trees
, slowly eroded out depressions of different sizes and depths.
Xiao Shizhu crossed his legs and sat deep in the main hall of Tianyang Palace. The plaque hanging on the wall that was hidden deep in the palace cast a shadow on the young handsome face, with his eyes staring at the writing desk in front of him.
There was a mountain of memorials on the table, and he frowned, his eyes showing a hint of reluctance.
But these memorials are all related to the military operations of Jiuyou Kingdom. Ever since he and Gui Mu came to power in the same court, he has been taking care of such affairs. It is impossible not to read the memorials. Xiao Shizhu pondered for a long time.
, finally slowly opened the memorial book in front of him, and after reading it carefully, he picked up the Long Hao brush that was still spinning slowly in his hand, and pointed the tip of the pen into the red inkstone.
After just reviewing the memorial for a while, Xiao Shizhu had already changed four or five sitting positions. He was either squatting on the throne like an eagle on the cliff, or he was retracting one leg, bending it and stepping on the edge of the throne, biting the penholder diagonally.
In the mouth.
He didn't have any noble demeanor at all, and he didn't look like a son of God, but more like a little hooligan. Even Ruyu in the painting hanging on the wall behind him couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this.
Just when Xiao Shizhu was about to lose his patience, Chen Ruo suddenly entered without warning. He stood in front of him and saw that only Xiao Shizhu and Ruyu were in the lobby. He bowed slowly and said: "My lord, there is another letter from the north.
.”.
To the north was the secret code they had formulated, specifically referring to Emperor Fengdu. Hearing this, those who didn't understand thought they were talking about Shuoyue Island or Fengmu County.
"Oh?" Xiao Shizhu's eyes lit up, the excitement in his eyes swept away the impatience in his eyes before, and he quickly asked: "What mission?".
"Let me secretly remind King Qin Guang to report your recent military deployment to the north." Chen Ruo, who looked solemn, lowered his voice a little more.
Xiao Shizhu was silent when he heard the words, and pondered slightly. He had already seen through the "bitter flesh trick" used by Emperor Fengdu against Jiang Ziwen, and had expected this day to come. However, he originally thought that the other party would use green beads and green radish to communicate, but he didn't
I expected that the other party would use Chen Ruo as a liaison ghost.
This situation can only explain two problems. Perhaps Emperor Fengdu no longer trusts Luzhu Luluo, and has no choice but to use Chenruo, a chess piece that he thinks is well hidden. Or perhaps, Chenruo is no longer trusted.
.
If it's the former, it's okay, but the latter is quite risky. If it's not handled properly, Chen Ruo will die, and he himself will be burned.
Xiao Shizhu just thought of this, and while thinking about countermeasures, he secretly asked himself: "Am I a little arrogant recently?".
He put down the ink pen in his hand and tapped his fingers gently on the table, in the same rhythm as the sound of raindrops outside; and the candlelight in the lampstand reflected in his eyes, and in his eyes as bright as stars, the light shone brightly.
Get a little red light.
"That's it." After pondering for a long time, Xiao Shizhu stood up and slowly walked around the desk: "You contact King Qin Guang as usual and don't change the order. I want to see how he handles it?" When he finished speaking, he happened to stand up.
Arriving in front of Chen Ruo.
"This" Chen Ruo was suddenly startled when she heard this. She originally came to seek a solution that had the best of both worlds, but she didn't expect Xiao Shizhu to directly choose to take the risk. If Jiang Ziwen informed Emperor Fengdu of the true situation, then the limelight would be booming recently, and the land would increase suddenly.
The Jiuyou Kingdom will inevitably be attacked.
"Haha." Xiao Shizhu glanced at the worry deep in her eyes, smiled lightly, and said in a disapproving tone: "You don't have to worry, I didn't make a hasty decision, but I want to try Jiang Ziwen's
Loyalty. What’s more, there is no airtight wall in the world. Even if Jiang Ziwen doesn’t go to the market to report, someone else will do it.”
The other ghosts in his paintings naturally refer to the two sisters Luzhu and Luluo.
Chen Ruo heard the words and raised his eyes, staring at the confidence in his brows. After thinking for a long time, he still chose to obey the order. After nodding in response, he turned around and exited Tianyang Palace with Xiao Shizhu's wave.
Tianlu Pavilion in Yuque Palace was formerly Gonggong's library; it is not far from Tianyang Palace, so that Xiao Shizhu and Gui Mu, who often work in Tianyang Palace, can access various documents in time.
Chenruo left Tianyang Palace, turned around, and headed in the direction of Shifang.
She stepped on the path paved with round jade and planted with many dragon blood trees on both sides. After walking for about half a cup of tea, she stood in a courtyard filled with petals that were all blood red, but the stamens were emerald green.
In front of the courtyard door, corpse flowers exude a strange fragrance.
"I'm here to get some files on behalf of the mother of the country." Chenruo, with calm eyes, took out a piece of the inner palace's pass, held it up for the guards at the door to take a look at, and then put it away again.
"Master Chenruo, please." The leader of the guard recognized the ghost as the female official next to the mother of the country, and hurriedly smiled and stepped aside to make way.
"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Ruo nodded with a smile and walked slowly into the courtyard, heading towards the weird three-story stone tower that stood in the middle of the courtyard, consisting of eight huge hexahedral turquoise stone pillars connected by a corridor.
.
Arriving at the quiet hall on the first floor of the tower, Chen Ruo stood in front of the huge bookshelves filled with book boxes, all kinds of copywriting, and archives. Chen Ruo glanced forward and quickly sat down on the open space in the middle of the bookshelves.
After a long look at the desk, Jiang Ziwen was found among the dozens of human souls who were writing something on the white paper on the desk.
She walked straight to Jiang Ziwen and stood there. After glancing at the memorial he was copying, which was written by Qiu Shuang on Sanxing Island, she said unhurriedly: "Master Jiang, on behalf of the mother of the country, I came to get some information about Sanxing Island this year."
A report on the yield of cultivated land.".
Jiang Ziwen stopped writing, looked up at her, and smiled slightly: "Master Chenruo, do you have any handwriting?" (To be continued)
