The bright and brilliant cloudy light shines from the top of the tiankeng in Yuque City, and fills the Jade Palace. In the Jade Palace, which is full of buildings made of jade, there are faint halos.
The Juexiang Garden was also bathed in the light of the overcast sun, glowing with exquisite translucent light like dripping dew, making the exotic flowers and plants in the building even more delicate.
Xiao Shizhu, whose face was full of contentment, was lying on the rocking chair with his eyes slightly closed while carrying the purple clay pot he used when he was a ghost slave.
Dahua came over, stood behind him, put her head on his knees, and hummed.
Xiao Shizhu reached out and stroked its big, soft, long-haired head a few times, then glanced at Lai Yueqi, who was eating watermelon and chatting with the ghost mother, and asked leisurely: "Feilei now
The development of the car has been successful, can we free up manpower to develop the combination of the speed car and the Guanyuecha?"
After speaking, he put the spout of the purple clay pot in his hand into his mouth, took a sip of the fragrant and mellow tea in the pot, and then smacked it again and again.
"This isn't working right now. I don't have enough skilled craftsmen at the moment. Most of them have been assigned to various places in the Southern Barbarians." Lai Yueqi stopped chatting and put down the half-eaten watermelon in her hand. She shook her head without thinking and took out her handkerchief.
Gently wiped the corners of his mouth and said: "And from this
Judging from the fragments sent by General Yingzhao, the Guanyuecha of the old ghost Fengdu should be made of wood, driven entirely by talismans and soul energy. But the speeding car is made of iron, and relies on burning strange plants and trees to generate the power to fly into the sky.
, the working principles are different and it is a bit difficult to combine; so the time required for research and development will be more.”
"Can you let Yue Yatou rest? She has been researching weapons for your war these past few months. Just after completing one task, you want her to start the next one immediately?" After Lai Yue's beautiful words came to fruition, the ghost mother immediately became pale.
Xiao Shizhu glanced at her and said angrily: "How can there be a husband like you who doesn't even mention giving Yue Yatou something to reward, but still treats her like a coolie endlessly?"
Ever since she learned that Lai Yueqi was infertile, the ghost mother had taken great care of her; not only had she never been regarded as a female ghost trying to steal her husband, but she had also protected her in every way. Even if Xiao Shizhu inadvertently 'bullied' her
, her ghost mother also wants to protect Lai Yueqi.
This kind of attitude, words and deeds made Lai Yueqi work even harder. In just a few years, she produced a large number of advanced weapons for Jiuyou Kingdom, which greatly improved the military strength of Jiuyou Country.
"Haha, okay, okay, I was negligent just now." Xiao Shizhu smiled and scratched his head, then said slowly: "Girl Yue, you should take a good rest for a month or two first. As for what I just said,
Let’s get some rest before doing this.”
"Actually, it doesn't take such a long time. Just rest for two or three days." Lai Yueqi smiled sheepishly.
"No, you've been too tired recently." The ghost mother said without hesitation, "You must get some rest."
Just as he was talking, Qing Lan, who was waiting outside the door, quickly walked out and came in.
"My lord, the mother of the country, Mrs. Lai." After standing in front of Xiao Shizhu, Qinglan bowed respectfully to the three ghosts one by one, then nodded slightly to Xiao Shizhu and said: "Xia Guan Si Ma Chunyun has something to see me.
”.
"Isn't it my precious daughter who is causing trouble in the academy?" Xiao Shizhu opened his eyes wide in surprise, asked a question, frowned and said: "Invite her in."
"No." Qinglan responded and retreated. After a while, Chunyun walked in quickly alone, bringing a strong wind behind him.
"Did Xiao Fuling break any academic rules?" Chun Yun stood in front of Xiao Shizhu, and Xiao Shizhu, who was a little nervous, immediately asked.
He knew his daughter very well, just like when he was a child; she was just a little devil who had not been on the bed for three days. If something happened one day without changing her rules, Xiao Fuling would feel uncomfortable all over.
"No, it's not true. Since I entered the academy to study, my temperament has also changed. At least I no longer act naughty during class." Chunyun smiled, bowed and said, "Come here, my lord.
I am asking for instructions from Mr. Lin on how to deal with the exiled ghost prisoners on Daoshan Island."
When Jing said this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly remembered that there had been a lot going on recently, and he had forgotten about it. He continued to lie on the rocking chair, thinking deeply.
According to reports from Lin Cong and Gonggong, after the Jiuyou Army captured Daoshan Island, they released approximately 10 million ghost prisoners from the island; almost 80% of them were human souls.
Recently, the Ghost Mother has also arranged for her subordinates to continuously transport food and clothing to the island to solve the temporary food and clothing problem of the ghost prisoners on the island.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Shizhu slowly spoke and asked a meaningless question: "Where are these two brats Chi Huo and Huang Tu now?".
"Since the army marched south, General Huangtu stayed in Tizhu County as a raiser, while General Chihuo has been serving as the prefect in Bifang County." After thinking about it, Chunyun slowly returned.
"Loess, please don't touch it. He has managed Bizhu County very well over the years. Let's continue to be the prefect." Xiao Shizhu thought for a moment and then said softly: "Let Chi Huo hand over the prefect's seal first and dress lightly as soon as possible."
Go to
Daoshan Island, serves as Lin Cong's deputy general. In addition, Lin Cong is temporarily named the Commander-in-Chief of Daoshan Island, giving him full authority to handle all military affairs on Daoshan Island, and is determined to build Daoshan Island into a maritime fortress in the northeastern waters of our country."
.
"No." Chun Yun responded, but after seeing Xiao Shizhu frowning and thinking deeply, she did not leave in a hurry, but still stood there, waiting for Xiao Shizhu to speak again.
After a while, Xiao Shizhu stood up by default and walked to the complete geographical map of the Ten Continents of the Underworld hanging in the corner of the building. After staring for a while, he waved to Chun Yun and said: "Tell Lin Cong, if those ghost prisoners of the Northern Yin Dynasty are
If you are willing to join our army, you can stay on the island for training and service. If you are not willing, you can arrange ships to send them to Yunmengzhou and Nanman counties. The local yamen will arrange houses, distribute farm tools, and allocate fields to cultivate cattle and so on.
of.".
As he spoke, Xiao Shizhu's eyes fell on the map, northeast of Daoshan Island, on the Bishi Kingdom on the southwest border of Dongyi Continent.
"What if they are not willing to join our country?" Chun Yun, standing next to him, asked thoughtfully.
"Put a tael of silver on each one and let them go." After Xiao Shizhu said this disapprovingly, he raised his hand and pointed at the map where he looked at the Queen of Bishi Kingdom, and asked leisurely: "I remember one time
The intelligence mentioned that the Black Teeth Kingdom to the north of the Bishi Kingdom and the Xiazhou Kingdom to the south are besieging the Bishi Kingdom, right?"
Chun Yun nodded and responded, and Xiao Shizhu showed a sly smile. (To be continued)
