On the stone table in front of Tu Shigong, the green smoke rose in the tangled peony leaves in the furnace, slowly dispersing between him and his daughter Tu Yaoqing.
Close the door and the stone room, he fell into silence after Tu Shigong finished saying that.
Although Tu Yaoqing, who looked only 28 years old, was silent after hearing this, her expression was extremely calm, neither shocked nor afraid, and even her eyes were as follows, and there was a faint calmness in the calmness.
After a while, Tu Yaoqing opened her elixir lips and asked Tu Shigong slowly: "Then father, where are you going to marry your daughter?"
The tone was also very calm, like the deep water of an ancient well without any turbulence.
"Before telling you where to marry, I want to ask you, how many heroes do you think there are in the underworld today?" Tu Shigong asked with interest, and took the scissors in his hand and went to the candle wick on the lampstand.
"Crack" When Tu Shigong gently trimmed the wick, Tu Yaoqing, who had thought for a while, spoke again and told his father with certainty: "There are no heroes in the ten continents of the underworld today!"
"Where is Xiao Shizhu?" Tu Shigong, who was slightly stunned, put down his scissors and stared at his daughter.
"He is not a hero either, he is just a hero who takes advantage of the chaos to seize the interests." Tu Yaoqing chuckled and didn't think much about it. She shook her head slightly, met her father's curious gaze, and said leisurely: "But
My daughter already knows that my father wants to marry me far away to Jiuyou Country."
A crackling sound came from the wick, and the flames jumped a few times. A trace of undetectable admiration flashed quickly in Tu Yaoqing's eyes.
Although she did not admit that Xiao Shizhu was a hero, she still admired Xiao Shizhu very much; this little ghost who spoke in the underworld, who dared to be oppressed by the Emperor of Fengdu for thousands of years, and all the ghosts dared to be angry
When he dared not speak, he rose up.
Although many vassal states raised the banner of righteousness for various interests before him, Xiao Shizhu's name is still legendary in the underworld.
The losses suffered by Emperor Fengdu in recent years were all planned by him. The Southern Expedition to Gonggong and the West attacked Zhurong, Shuoyue Island counterattacked twice, the Fengdu granary was destroyed, and the Baodu Pass, which had been impregnable for thousands of years, was bombarded.
It was a ruin, etc., all of which were made by this ghost.
Tu Yaoqing, who has heard of this, always reveals appreciation and respect for Xiao Shizhu whenever she mentions Xiao Shizhu, she will intentionally or unintentionally reveal her appreciation and respect for Xiao Shizhu.
She was guessing that her father was thinking, and suddenly she had some expectations for this marriage.
"Smart." There were only two ghosts in the stone chamber, so Tu Shigong did not hide anything. After a smile, he said bluntly: "Just like your great-grandmother and daughter were married to Dayu when she was in the world. Now Qingqiu Kingdom is already
We are strong outside and docile at the same time. We, Tushan, cannot sit still and wait for death, and we must find a strong backer."
Tu Yaoqing was not disgusted with this marriage with a strong political nature; not only that, she also murmured for a moment, and at the same time she expressed her approval of her father's words, and a little palpitations appeared in her ups and downs.
.
Although the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom is powerful and has a good development, Tu Shigong and his daughter can see it thoroughly. This is what the Emperor of Fengdu is not at all taken seriously. Otherwise, the Fengdu Army or the Xuandi Army
Once the fox ghosts arrive, no matter how powerful the magic is, they cannot escape the tragedy of destruction.
The Emperor of Fengdu has not moved Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, so he asked Qingqiu Fox Kingdom to manage more territory. Once the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom has a large area and few soldiers, they need to defend everywhere but are stretched, the Emperor of Fengdu will suddenly send troops to fight.
; Just like a few years ago, the Emperor of Fengdu took advantage of Xiao Shizhu's southern expedition and suddenly attacked Shuoyue Island.
However, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, which is dominated by the fox ghost, is neither as brave as the Jiuyou Kingdom nor as advanced as the Jiuyou Kingdom. At that time, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom will inevitably usher in the fate of destruction.
The land obtained by the Qingqiu Kingdom's previous conquests naturally became the items in the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor of Fengdu.
But Xiao Shizhu's Jiuyou Kingdom is different. Although the momentum of Jiuyou Kingdom expanding its territory is also strong, the Beiyin Dynasty really has no choice but to deal with him for the time being; there are also rumors that Xiao Shizhu is actually the son of a god. Tu Shigong attaches great importance to it.
Only after all, can we bear the pain of giving up and marrying our beloved daughter far away.
Moreover, he has greater ambitions, that is, once both parties promote marriage, he can dominate and control the government affairs of the Jiuyou Kingdom with the noble status of the father-in-law.
In this way, it is much better than having a position without real power in Qingqiu Middle School. However, the target he chose is not a soft persimmon that can be controlled by others.
In short, Tu Shigong regarded his daughter as a tool for his own gain of power; Tu Yaoqing, who was willing to beat and the other was willing to be beaten and saw through his father's purpose, did not dislike this, nor did he think that his father's move was inappropriate.
Then a smile hit Tu Yaoqing's curved mouth, just like a crescent moon in the sky. Then she teased her father: "I hope I won't be like my great-grandmother, I will be alone in the empty room, waiting for someone else.
The end of it.”
"This is not the case. Xiao Shizhu doesn't need to control the water." Tu Shigong laughed.
"But will the Fox Ghost King agree? Will Xiao Shizhu agree?" At the same time, Tu Yaoqing, who had always been calm, suddenly frowned and asked with some concern.
"The King of Fox Ghost has been waiting for an opportunity to alliance with the powerful vassal states. As long as the father tells him, this move is to connect with Jiuyou Kingdom. He will not only agree, but also send a large army to escort you safely.
From Jiuyou Country." Tu Shigong, who was confident, talked casually: "As for Xiao Shizhu, you don't have to worry; it is said that he is really lustful as the rumors say
A problem. With your appearance, this little devil can hardly refuse it.”
As he said this, Tu Shigong's eyes swept across his daughter Pingting and Ginger.
Tu Yaoqing's eyebrows stretched out, and the worries wandering around her eyebrows also quickly retreated like a tide, followed by a faint red tide with shyness.
"If Xiao Shizhu is really bad to you after you leave the house." Tu Shigong, who immediately became somber, pulled out a dagger that was only one foot or two inches long from his sleeve without hesitation.
, handed it to his daughter: "Then you kill him with this knife."
The candlelight that was jumping slightly again reflected in Tu Shigong's eyes that were bursting out with cold light, as if something was burning in his eyes.
Tu Yaoqing was slightly stunned, but she took the dagger and pulled it out of the scabbard; the dazzling sword light suddenly shot out from the blade, making Tu Yaoqing a little dazzling.
"Maybe..." After a pause, Tu Yaoqing suddenly retracted the dagger in her hand and smiled slightly at her father. She said inexplicably: "This dagger can only be used by my daughter."
...
The rainy season in Yuque City arrives as scheduled in late spring, and the rain never ends when it falls.
It was misty and rainy for seven days. The air was mixed with the smell of dampness and soil, and the scent of soil and plants spread out in Yuque City. The fresh yin energy also rose with the continuous rain, causing ghosts in the city to
We were excited in the cold wind, and the ghost food in the fertile fields outside the city thrived in the rain and fog.
Xiao Fuling, who had finished reviewing today's memorial, stood in front of the window of Juexiangyuan's main building, with her arm on the windowsill, and looked out the window while holding her chin.
There are not many memorials today, and the regent ministers selected by Xiao Shizhu for her are also very powerful. There are many memorials sent directly to Xiao Shizhu; so Xiao Fuling, who is skilled in government affairs, has not
I feel something is difficult.
Xiao Fuling looked around blankly, but saw the window as thin as cow's hair, connected into silk thread-like raindrops swaying in the wind, twisting into a swaying dance, floating down from the deep sky covered with clouds, making the green mountains in Yuque City
Like daisy, everything is fresh.
The raindrops followed the entrance of the sky pit above the Yuque Palace and fell in the wind, hitting the palace made of jade. As the pavilions made of crackling sounds splashed with crystal clear raindrops.
Suddenly, the flowers and trees in the palace were washed away and green, and all the buildings were completely renewed.
The cold wind blew, making Xiao Fuling's clothes flutter, but she couldn't blow away the chattering in her watery eyes.
It was raining continuously, and even if she had finished reading the memoir, she could not go anywhere. She could only sit behind the window in the house and listen to the wind and rain blankly.
The dark wind blew again, and the lights on the lampstand in Juexiang Garden swayed, bringing out a flash of shadows; when worn on Xiao Fuling, the dazzling bird skirt rose with the shadows, and it was colorful.
It changed into a lilac color. However, after the shadow dissipated, it turned into colorful colors again.
Even in the underworld, this hundred bird skirt is a rare treasure. It is a rare treasure. It is a collection of hundreds of spiritual bird feathers, which are very bright and colorful.
It can also change color, and even the producer does not know its true colors.
Even in the rich Jiuyou Kingdom, there are only two such skirts; one is the one worn on Xiao Fuling now, and the other is hidden by the ghost mother.
But even wearing such an expensive dress, it cannot help Xiao Fuling's boredom.
"Madam Lai." Just as Xiao Fuling was even more bored, Fan Jinhong's voice sounded outside the gate.
Xiao Fuling's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at the gate, and saw Lai Yueqi walking into the building with light steps and coming towards her.
"Yue Niang." Xiao Fuling immediately smiled and jumped to Lai Yueqi in three or two steps, threw herself into the other party's arms, and said coquettishly: "You haven't seen me for a long time."
"Didn't Yue Niang come to see you?" Lai Yueqi, who looked pity in her eyes, stroked her little head gently and smiled: "And Yue Niang has also brought you a top-secret good news, guaranteed it is you
Unexpected new things, either.”
"What?" Xiao Fuling, who was surrounded by Lai Yueqi's waist, did not let go. She looked up at Lai Yueqi's slightly lowered face curiously; she blinked as she looked at her eyes.
"The explosion of the Fire Dragon Spear has been solved, and I have also combined the continuous rapid fire technology of the Fire Dragon Spear and the Rain Gun to create a new type of fire gun." Seeing that there were only me and Xiao Fuling in the main building, but Lai Yueqi
He lowered his voice a little and told the news that Xiao Fuling could not have been unexpected.
Xiao Fuling was stunned when she heard this, and her throat seemed to be blocked by something. She opened her lips slightly for a long time and couldn't speak.
"What? Isn't this good news?" Lai Yueqi teased her.
Although she had recovered a little, Xiao Fuling, who was still a little surprised and speechless, quickly shook her head like the peddler drum she played when she was a child.
When she followed her father Xiao Shizhu to fight in the south, she witnessed the importance of advanced weapons on the battlefield with her own eyes. She knew that with the Fire Dragon Spear that would not explode, the combat power of the Jiuyou Army would inevitably soar.
[Wai Ren Xi Yi - "Lüshi Chunqiu? Yin Chu Pian" records that during the Yu period, the daughter of Tushan clan sang "Wai Ren Xi Yi", "Yu performed his merits and saw the daughter of Tushan clan. Yu had not met him.
The daughter of Tushan clan was sent to the south. He ordered his concubine to wait for Yu in Tu. The daughter wrote a song. The song said: I am waiting for you."] (To be continued)
