Outside the divine carriage, because the fire forest composed of endless woods that have been extinguished all year round is not far away, the heat waves on the ground rise and the air is filled with a sultry heat.
It was early spring, and the imperial guards guarding outside the divine chariot could see many ghosts on Luofu Mountain wearing the wood marrow of Fusang sacred wood, next to the fire forest, placing the red fire rats all over it.
The fire beasts were drawn out with their favorite fire charcoal.
Fire beasts are so strange that they will only come out in spring and summer. When it is cold in autumn and winter, they will drill holes and start to enter a state of false death.
Moreover, the fire beast looked fierce and tall, but it was not controlled by the ghost and would not attack him. It also loved the burning hot charcoal.
While the fire beasts were chewing the red charcoal in big mouthfuls, the ghosts used scissors to snatch the soft two-foot hairs on their bodies and handed them over to the ghost officials guarding the side for some dark silver.
This kind of life is harder to work by the high temperature and flames. Although it is a bit harder, it is rewarded a lot. A pound of fire rat hair is purchased by the ghost officials for five taels of dark silver. The reason is that this thing can be weaved into
The texture is thin and tough, it is non-combustible, and can remove dirt from fire.
This kind of cloth that is only available in the underworld can be bought in all states of the underworld. Because it is not afraid of flames, it immediately becomes bright and beautiful after entering the fire, and its texture is thin and tough, and it is so thin that it is made by the underworld.
The rich ghosts like it.
Although it is a thousand gold per piece, it is simply a sky-high price. But once such a cloth is on the market, it can be sold out within three to five days.
Previously, the Huohuanbu was one of the incomes of Du Ziren and the Northern Yin Dynasty. Later, Xiao Shizhu occupied the Southern Barbarians and became one of the incomes of Jiuyou Kingdom.
Different from before, the ghosts were squeezing a pound of hair from the fire beast, but only had a pancake. Now the ghost officials in Jiuyou Kingdom gave them one pound and five taels according to Xiao Shizhu's instructions.
Mingyin.
"Yes." And in the divine chariot restriction and the temperature is neither hot nor cold, I don't know how many Xiao Shizhu, who has used the word "cai" as "cai" and "Xiao Shizhu, who has continued to use it with a lot of questions, has continued to use it with the word "cai" and "Xiao Shizhu".
In an excited tone, I heard that in the nearby mountains, there was a banshee living in seclusion. It is said that it was the first red shore flower in the underworld. The female ghost who absorbed the essence of the yin energy of the underworld and took her own name.
Yu Huarui also claims to be the most talented woman in the Southern Barbarians.”
"It is said that the Emperor of Fengdu recruited this ghost to be an official in Fengdu many times, but she didn't go. Not only did she not go, she hid in the mountains and forests, and the Yin envoys sent by the Emperor of Fengdu could not find her." Speaking of this, she said that
Xiao Shizhu turned his head and looked at the ghost mother beside him. Seeing the other party's slight head and said that what he said was correct, he then said: "After our army took down the Southern Barbarians, this talented woman came out again. But I heard that she
Apart from teaching the children of the Southern Barbarian Ghosts to learn to read, they did nothing. I think it would be too useless to let her be a gentleman. It would be better to invite her to come to the court, give me some lectures, and give me every day
Learning, give me some advice."
"This..." Qin Yuan and his ghost suddenly realized that what Xiao Shizhu wanted was a genius rather than money; then they looked at each other and showed a hint of embarrassment.
After pondering for a while, Qin Yuan showed a faint helpless look and looked at Xiao Shizhu and said, "Don't the master have the soul of the painting that knows astronomy and geography?"
After all, Yu Huarui's temper is too noble; it's not the ghost that Xiao Shizhu will come out of the mountain when he asks.
"Ruyu does know a lot, but she can only tell me history and the history of the ghosts in the underworld." Xiao Shizhu smiled calmly and said slowly: "It is undeniable that the ghosts in the painting are like jade.
Her knowledge is not as deep as hers; but I heard that Hua Yaoyu Huarui has a lot of insight into the current situation in the underworld. If she can use it for me, why worry about the uncertainty of the world!"
After a pause, Xiao Shizhu stood up and said, "I hope that I can overthrow the Northern Yin Dynasty."
When the ghost captain Qinyuan and the others heard this, they also agreed with it. Although they were ghost generals who licked blood on the edge of the knife all day long, they also studied in the palace and were definitely not a martial artist. They knew that the underworld was like the human world.
All kinds of geniuses can control the current situation.
But after a moment of silence, Changya finally spoke. He asked carefully: "I dare to ask the lord, what will happen if this ghost is not used by the imperial court?"
The reason why he asked this was because he had heard of the nobleness of Yu Huarui. It is said that this ghost has never been interested in black hats, and even sneered at high officials and generous salaries. She was polite in Japan, and she mentioned it.
The current situation couldn't help but say in slander, the underworld that could flow with dirty shit and urine was the courts of the ghost countries that were often beaten.
It can be seen that this ghost is extremely angry at the years of war between the countries in the underworld.
Changya was worried that no matter how polite Xiao Shizhu was, this ghost would not only not come out to assist him, but would instead ridicule Xiao Shizhu, making him feel ashamed. After all, although Xiao Shizhu is different from other Patriarchs, he is constantly
The war is what Yu Huarui, a talented woman who regards herself as a noble person, hates the most. She may not be able to understand Xiao Shizhu's purpose of killing and stopping killing.
Did Xiao Shizhu destroy the Water Tiger clan when he was humiliated by the Water Tiger clan and almost poison him to death? Now the storm outside Shizhu City has not completely disappeared. I don’t know what ghosts in Jiuyou Country,
Although their lords love the people as much as their sons, they are just obedient ghosts. Some of them have good ends if they are disobedient.
"Then let her continue to be her Mr. Shanye." Xiao Shizhu thought about it immediately, turned his back to Guilu and others, and a cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Only the ghost mother saw the murderous intent in his eyes, but she felt a little nervous in her heart, knowing that her husband had a murderous intention; Rushi Huarui did not leave the mountain, but was afraid that Xiao Shizhu would not use it for his ghost.
, it is necessary to let the gods die in the mountains without realizing it.
But she endured her fear and remained calm, so as not to see the clues and be in lingering fear, which led to the wavering of loyalty.
Then the ghost mother hurriedly spoke, smiled and begged slowly, "Please ask where this ghost is. Your lord is respectful and wise, and you can't stand the genius. Please forgive him for his wish to come to the door and seek talent."
Guilu and others did not doubt it. Instead, they felt that Xiao Shizhu was a wise king and sage. When his loyalty was even more serious, they all stood up and said, "Abide by the edict of the Mother of the Nation."
Xiao Shizhu also smiled and sat back on his seat. After chatting and laughing for a while, Qin Yuan and the others left.
When the fun of the god carriage disappeared, only the ghost mother and Xiao Shizhu were left, the ghost mother immediately spoke and whispered: "Husband, if Yu Huarui refused to come out of the mountain, can she spare her life?"
Xiao Shizhu didn't answer, but just squinted his eyes slightly, stared at the door of the Divine Vessel Hall not far away in front of him, and began to think...
In the west of Yuque City, among the inner city on the hillside, there is a restaurant in the west of the city called Qingjiangyue. This building is built against the mountain, steep and steep. It is a format of three lights and seven darks, and the beams and woods are of high quality.
The green tiles on the top are also of high-quality glazed glass. The roofs of various floors overlap and are tilted with corners flying, which is spectacular and eye-catching.
This was the outer palace and garden used to escape the summer heat when Gonggong was the King of Water. After Xiao Shizhu obtained the Yuque, in order to expand the treasury funds, this building was publicly tendered and auctioned, with the most 280,000 gold.
At a high price, I sold it to the shopkeeper of this building now.
From then on, this building became a famous restaurant in Yuque City. The dishes sold in the building are mostly mid-range, which are good at quality and cheap. The chefs in the building not only choose a wide range of ingredients, but also good at
Cooking, stir-frying, stir-frying, roasting, stewing, etc., is also good at knife skills. Every time I cook, I not only pay attention to color, fragrance, but also very particular about shape. Therefore, not only the Beijing officials in the court like to come here to gather, but also come to the south.
When the business trip heading north arrives in Yuque City, they always have to take some time to try the delicious food in the Qingjiang River in the moonlight.
At this time, the belated ox-mao spring rain was about to slap on the roof with a three-story corridor from the outside. After the crystal clear raindrops fell, they flowed along the tiles to the edge of the eaves, and then slowly fell down and wet the corridor.
Redwood railings on the side.
Even though the building is misty and rainy, there are many guests inside, which is very lively. Business travelers from south to north and the great officials and nobles in Yuque City are crowded in the building, sitting around the table and tasting
On the seventh floor, in a private room on the east side, a young man sat upright behind the round table in the house. He was standing beside the window, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside the window while looking around.
Two ghosts sitting left and right.
The young male ghost on his left hand was red on his body, his skin exposed on his clothes was red, like a flame. You can tell at a glance that this was the soul of Zhurong.
Judging from the head he wore and the Luo Jin robe on his body, this ghost is either rich or noble.
The soul on the right hand of the headmin is also young, but she has a beautiful and graceful look. She is shaking a folding fan with a foot-spreading appearance in her hand. The fan is painted with a female ghost in the painted skin.
, is putting on makeup for my own face.
There are only these three ghosts in the house at this time.
When the second brother put the last dish on the round table in front of the three ghosts, he stepped out and closed the door for the three ghosts. The noise outside the room suddenly subsided, and the quietness fell into the private room.
The man with a bit of heroic spirit on the face, with a muscular and bearded body, looked around at the other two ghosts with a sharp look, and asked in a deep voice: "Ju Lingqi, Chang Wusui, you two suddenly called me here to hurry up.
?If there is anything, can’t you tell me in the underworld yamen?”.
As he spoke, a faint suspicion appeared on the face of this man.
"Brother Lingjue, please be careful." The ghost of the Gonggong clan named Ju Lingqi picked up the fine porcelain wine pot at hand, bowed slightly, and gave the head of this man named Li Lingjue.
The people poured wine.
The wine overflowed from the mouth of the pot, and when it was heading towards the wine glass with a rustling sound, a fragrance suddenly overflowed with the wine, floating towards every corner of the private room.
"In terms of ability, your brother Ling Jue is also a great hero who pursued Wu Hui thousands of miles away. In terms of backstage, your father Li Tianying is also a ghost general in the army. He helped the Jiuyou King Xiao Shizhu to obtain the head of Danshui County.
A meritorious minister, but now you are just a small palace school, but you are only a fifth-rank general, are you willing to do it?" The ghost of Zhurong, named Changwusui, took the speech and then said.
"What are you going to say?" Li Lingjue, who was confused when he heard it, stared blankly at the eyes of the other two ghosts, and his confusion increased instead of reducing.
"Now this king has implemented the equality strategy of all ghosts, which makes us feel very unfair; in fact, it's okay if we are unfair, but we don't want to see Brother Ling Jue, there is something unfair." Ju Lingqi sighed lightly, sighing happily
arrive.
Li Lingjue smiled and said disrespectfully: "I don't think there is anything wrong with me. My lord is as kind as a mountain to me. Not to mention that my father is already a ghost general in the army, commanding hundreds of thousands of ghost soldiers.
Just say that I am a fifth-grade school in my early twenties, so how can I be injustice?”. (To be continued)
