In the Juexiang Garden, the auspicious birds raised by the Ghost Mother made sweet and soft calls among the herbs and flowers.
Because Xiao Fuling was going to school, Dahua, who was left in the Juexiangyuan, slowly walked to Xiao Shizhu and squatted down, gently stroking the thick and fluffy long-haired tail of Xiao Fuling's back from left to right.
He shook his head and turned his head to look at Xiao Shizhu who was beaming with joy.
"No!" Lai Yueqi and Gui Mu shouted in unison, standing up together, staring at Xiao Shizhu with a look of disapproval on his face and a slight smile on his lips.
"All the ghosts in the court are loyal to you, but I can't guarantee that none of them will see money." The ghost mother took a step forward, her brows furrowed and her eyes became more worried: "What if he is tricked by other ghosts?"
If you know this, there is no guarantee that it will be detrimental to you. Don't forget, money can make the world go round. Emperor Fengdu's move is called a heavy reward, and there must be a brave man. You should know the stakes and murderous intentions better than me."
.
Opposite me, Lai Yueqi also had a solemn look on her face, nodding her head in agreement.
"So what? Even if I don't hang this document high in the court, it won't take long for this news to spread throughout the ten continents of the underworld." Xiao Shizhu smiled nonchalantly and leaned back on his back.
Then he sank on the rocking chair, waved his hand to signal the ghost mother and the others to sit down, and said calmly and calmly: "Since he is hiding it like a thief with a guilty conscience, I might as well hang it out openly and show off."
.
Xiao Shizhu was born to be such a maverick, so no one could guess what he was thinking? Even the old fox like Emperor Fengdu couldn't.
When the ghost mother heard this, a trace of anger and impatience flashed in her heart, and she was about to say something. Xiao Shizhu had already spoken one step ahead of her, and said confidently: "Besides, even if a ghost is really jealous of money, he dares to do it in Jiuyou
He assassinated me across the borders of the country, and I believe that the people under my rule will not be able to spare him as long as they see him."
"Where do you get this self-confidence? Whether it's a human soul or a demon soul, there are all ghosts with evil hearts. Don't you know that you have been in the underworld for so many years?" After a moment of silence, the ghost mother asked angrily.
"I know." Xiao Shizhu still had a look of disdain on his face and said with a slight smile: "But I believe that the people under my rule still have more good ghosts than bad ghosts. I helped them establish stability.
A peaceful life, so that they are no longer treated as slaves, this is the source of my confidence."
"This is childishness on your part!" The ghost mother was stunned for a moment before snorting angrily. She angrily sat down on her chair and turned her head to the side, unwilling to look at Xiao Shizhu again.
The breeze blew slowly into the building along the door, blowing the herbs and flowers swaying left and right, and giving off bursts of elegant fragrance.
Chen Ruo brought in a plate of cut watermelon. Seeing that the ghost mother was fuming and Lai Yueqi also had a worried look on her face, she knew they were talking about something important. So she left without saying a word.
It is not unreasonable for Xiao Shizhu not to know what the ghost mother said, but in addition to being confident that most ghosts in Jiuyou Kingdom would not be blinded by money, he did this to let the ghosts see his courage and willingness to not be afraid of Emperor Fengdu.
and the determination to go all out to overthrow the Fengdu regime.
"Do you still remember Xiao Si?" After Chen Ruo withdrew, Xiao Shizhu, who had been pondering for a moment, spoke again and said calmly: "She who was five or six years ago wanted to kill me more than any ghost in the country today.
; He gnashes his teeth towards me and wishes he could drink my blood and eat my flesh.”
When she finished speaking, the ghost mother turned her head, and the sullen look on her face suddenly faded a bit.
"But in the end, the ghost who wanted to kill me the most saved me." Xiao Shizhu continued to say slowly; but when he mentioned Xiao Si, he couldn't help but feel a little regret in his eyes: "She has more ghosts than him."
The reason for letting me die, and even if she has no grudge against me, she doesn’t have to save me. There is no ghost forcing her to do this, and there is no ghost.
I would blame her for choosing not to save me, but she still saved me. She told me that because the underworld needs me, she asked me to work hard to make all the ghosts in the underworld live with dignity. Although I can't make ten people live with dignity now.
All ghosts in the continent have become dignified, but at least in Jiuyou Kingdom, all ghosts have dignity. This is my self-confidence."
The ghost mother heard what he said was reasonable and saw his firm expression, so she pondered for a while and then began to waver. But after a while, she looked at Xiao Shizhu and persuaded her softly: "Don't you think about it anymore?
”.
"No." Xiao Shizhu shook his head gently, stood up and clapped his hands twice.
Then Qinglan came in, stood in front of him, bowed slowly, and asked: "My lord, what are your orders?".
Xiao Shizhu picked up the rolled-up notice of the killing order and handed it to him: "Give this to the craftsmen and ask them to frame it and hang it high in the Tianquan Hall. The plaque of 'Ten Continents of Peace' goes down."
"No." Qinglan took the notice, bowed her head and left.
After watching Qing Lan's figure disappear from the gate, Xiao Shizhu said softly: "I want to show my determination and courage to the ministers."...
On Luofeng Mountain behind Fengdu City, the bright overcast light shines on the mountains and forests, creating waves of warmth.
Because there have been too many troubles recently and Emperor Fengdu has not gone to court for a long time, today he finally summoned the officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty in Beijing to discuss matters at the Zhongtian Hall of Beiyin.
In addition to the few remaining kings of hell and the four great judges and other ghost officials, even Feitian, one of the six heavenly gods and ghosts in the court, and a male ghost who looks like a young man, but have always
Chengtian, who was dressed in white robes and held a folding fan with a landscape and crane painted on it, and Qitian, who had red hair and two pairs of silvery sky-pointed horns on his forehead, also came to the main hall.
They were divided into two groups of civil and military ministers, standing around the red carpet that was spread behind the main hall door and extended to the depths.
The Beiyin Zhongtian Hall, which was originally spacious and bright, seemed a little crowded because there were nearly a hundred ghosts crowded there.
Emperor Fengdu was still wearing an aqua blue wide-sleeved shirt, and he was sitting in the middle of the deep hall, on a square straw mat with various patterns of monsters and monsters woven on it with grass leaves of various colors.
In the long silence, the ministers in the palace secretly looked at each other and remained silent for a long time. Emperor Fengdu glanced at them coldly, then spoke slowly and asked coldly: "Do you all know?
?Daoshan Island and Daoshan Hell were also lost, along with the 700,000 garrison troops on the islands and 11.5 million exiled ghost prisoners."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers continued to remain silent, but they unanimously lowered their heads slightly.
Of course they knew about this matter, it had been spread all over the Liutian Continent recently, and it had become the talk of the ghosts after dinner. Everyone couldn't figure out why Xiao Shizhu was so bold, but they secretly admired Xiao Shizhu's courage.
.
But I know I know, but none of them are willing to speak first. After all, facing the unpredictable Emperor Fengdu, who knows if speaking first will make the other party vent their anger?
And Emperor Fengdu has long been accustomed to their behavior. Once he encounters any difficult things, he will remain tacitly silent. The next time he blows his sleeves, a dark wind rises out of thin air and surrounds him. Through him,
He snorted angrily and asked coldly: "Do you know who robbed me of Daoshan Island?".
This time he did not wait for the ministers to answer, but after a pause, he cursed loudly: "It's that unfaithful and unfilial bastard Xiao Shizhu."
As he spoke, his whole body could not help but exude a trace of cold murderous aura, which caused the temperature in the hall to drop sharply and made all the ministers in the hall tremble.
But still no ghost came forward to talk. They continued to stand there, holding the jade tablets in their hands tightly, staring at their toes with their heads slightly lowered.
Emperor Fengdu, with his eyebrows raised, once again glanced coldly at the ministers present. After twitching the corners of his mouth a few times, he asked sternly: "Are they all mute?".
The sound was like thunder, and the earth-shaking questioning voice made the whole hall tremble slightly. And outside the hall door, several colorful peacocks and five-color sparrows that had just flown down from the sky also screamed in fright.
Flapping its wings again and again, it scrambled to fly towards the sky.
Emperor Fengdu's face was full of anger, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and even the veins on his forehead had popped out.
Xiao Shizhu defeated him one after another. First, he destroyed the grain in his two large granaries, then defeated his two southern expedition armies, and even killed his Nascent Soul and captured his wife.
It's really hard to swallow.
Although he has never admitted to the public that the jealous wife Jinshen is his wife, from the moment Xiao Shizhu captured her, she and he were ruthless enough to kill his wife.
But according to Zongtian's advice, he had to endure even if he couldn't bear it at this time. Therefore, although Emperor Fengdu was filled with hatred and anger, he still retained the last trace of calmness.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Shizhu is showing his sharp edge at this time, and we should avoid his sharp edge." After a while, the anger on Emperor Fengdu's face subsided for a while, and King Chakravartin walked out from the ranks of the kings of hell.
, stood among the civil and military ministers, facing Feng
The Emperor of the Capital bowed with his scepter and analyzed: "At this stage, wars are raging all over the underworld. Although many princes have participated in the court's counterinsurgency, the court should rest and recuperate at this time and strengthen its troops to wait for the opportunity in the future.
, have the strength to fight Xiao Shizhu again."
These remarks coincided with Zongtian's views.
Emperor Fengdu, who had completely calmed down, listened carefully, nodded silently, and then spoke again: "Zongtian also gave me the same advice before he left."
Hearing this, the Chakravartin King in front of him smiled calmly and a flash of pride quickly flashed in his eyes.
"That's all, let Xiao Shizhu go and jump around first." After a while, Emperor Fengdu sighed softly, waved his hands and said: "But Zongtian also gave me a plan, saying that Dongyi Continent and Fusang Continent are
The granary of the underworld; as the saying goes
Before the soldiers and horses move, the food and grass must go first. If the Northern Yin Dynasty can survive this rare turmoil in a thousand years, although there is no need to rush to deal with the Jiuyou Kingdom, it must first stabilize this granary land and control most of it.
In the hands of the imperial court."
On the left and right in front of the straw mat, there are evenly glazed and bright-colored incense burners with wide mouths, short necks and bulging bellies, and streams of green smoke are rising from them.
Emperor Fengdu paused and then said: "But these two continents are not at peace now, and suppressing the rebellion is even more difficult. Even the armies led by Zuitian and Yintian were attacked repeatedly by the Mohists in Dongyi Continent.
, and the repeated counterattacks by the remnants of the Escaped Kingdom, the war situation is very unfavorable to our country."
"But I still have some soldiers and sergeants who can be sent to Dongyi Continent and Fusang Continent to suppress the rebellion." Emperor Fengdu glanced at the ministers and suddenly asked: "Which of you is willing to lead the army for me?
Going on an expedition?".
This question was met with silence from the ministers.
Although going out to quell the rebellion is beautiful, the swords on the battlefield are blind and ruthless, and life is in danger anytime and anywhere. And now Xiao Shizhu has defeated the Fengdu army one after another, which has boosted the morale of the rebellious princes in the underworld and become more and more courageous as they fight.
It's such a hard job to go out to counter rebellion. Only those who have eaten enough to support their brains would volunteer themselves at this time.
Just as they buried their heads lower, King Chakravartin spoke again: "Your Majesty, King Taishan should be used in this matter." (To be continued)
