The dark clouds drooped all over the sky, and Yuque City was shrouded in the shadows in broad daylight. Thousands of silver-like raindrops fell from the overwhelming darkness and hit Yuque City, and floated along the entrance of the Tiankeng pit.
The land was scattered into the Yuque Palace, wet the magnificent palace and the exquisite pavilions in the palace.
Under the hazy rain and mist, water drips on the corners of the eaves and the raindrops in the wind, whipping hard on the ground with a rustling sound. The water splashed, and most parts of the Yuque Palace were already in a daze.
In the Scenery and Bright Moon Hall, as Xiao Shizhu finished speaking, the atmosphere became solemn.
The ghost officials such as Lu Wu who had just sat down immediately sat up.
Under the soft light of the centipede bead, the green smoke curled in the fragrance pavilion in front of Xiao Shizhu and the ghost mother, bringing a light fragrance, which also calmed down the ghosts in the hall in the chaotic sound of wind and rain.
"But lord, we have never been to Huangquan. Our understanding of this world is limited to the few words in the documentary records." After thinking seriously, Lu Wu looked at Xiao Shizhu and said bluntly with a slight frown.
: "You should know that any plan in such a place cannot keep up with changes at all. If you insist on entering it, you can succeed in everything in the underworld, and you can only rely on adapting to changes."
After saying that, he secretly glanced at Tai Feng, who stood upright beside Xiao Shizhu; he was still a little wary of Tai Feng. After all, this genius surrendered for a while, so it was normal for Lu Wu to be prepared for him.
But Lu Wu didn't know that Xiao Shizhu had talked with Tai Feng. Tai Feng had already agreed to enter the Huangquan with Xiao Shizhu. If he could come back alive, Tai Feng would be Xiao Shizhu's personal guard.
After Xiao Shizhu patiently asked him to finish speaking, he smiled indifferently and said, "What I want to say is not this, but something else."
"First of all, it's a matter of time." After a pause, Xiao Shizhu said again: "After we enter the Huangquan, we will lose all contact with the outside world and the underworld. I made a plan, that is, I will only enter it.
I will definitely come back within half a year."
"In other words, the lord immediately closed the passage after entering it, and then opened the passage after half a year." The ghost mother then added: "It is always not good to open the passage for a long time; it is easy for the ghosts in the underworld to take advantage of the situation.
If you enter, it is easy to be noticed by the Emperor of Fengdu.”
As soon as the two lies were finished, the other ghosts were already in deep thought.
They thought in the sound of the wind and rain, and they nodded one after another and said nodded one after another for a long time.
"The second is to make a situation where our offensive remains unabated, so that the outside world thinks that I am really in Jiuyou Kingdom." Seeing that they had nodded and had no objection, Xiao Shizhu opened his lips slightly, neither hurry nor slow
He said: "Ten brand new Iron Dragon Ships have completed the trial voyage to the sea. It is time to clear the Beiyin Chao Fengdu Army on many small islands north of Shuoyue Island."
There are thousands of miles of seas north of Shuoyue Island, which are still under the control of the Beiyin Dynasty. The small islands scattered in these seas have no garrisons, and most of them are deserted islands.
But since the Emperor of Fengdu appointed Xiao Shizhu's mortal enemy Gong Mingyi as the prefect of Baodu Pass, this person's soul was placed on these small islands and had heavy troops to guard them.
I have to say that Gong Mingyi is indeed very visionary.
In just one year, Gong Mingyi took advantage of Xiao Shizhu's Eastern Expedition to build artillery towers and tunnels on these small islands, etc.
On the sea north of Jiuyou Kingdom, these small islands have formed lines of defense, which also makes Xiao Shizhu feel that there is restless sleeping on the side of the bed.
Since he also wants to create the illusion that he is still in the country and publicizes that he will inspect the northern islands of Jiuyou Kingdom, then at this time, cleaning up the islands where Fengdu Army garrisons in the sea is the best for him to be still in the country.
proof of
As long as the navy from Jiuyou Kingdom attacks and the war in Dongyingzhou continues, then Xiao Shizhu is still in the middle of the country and goes to Shuoyue Island to command the news that the navy's northern expedition is natural.
The senior officials of the Jiuyou Kingdom present were all unsilent ghosts. When they heard this, they immediately thought about it for a while.
They all expressed their approval, and Jiang Ziwen, who had not spoken, suddenly looked at Xiao Shizhu at this time and slowly asked: "Will you recall the Governor of Gonggong to command this war?"
Nowadays, in the huge Nine Nether Kingdom, there are many ghosts who are good at sea fighting, such as Gongyuan and his son, the souls of the Gonggong clan are very good at water wars and seas. But the one who can fight the most at sea is Gonggong.
If such a big naval battle is really to be fought, Gonggong will really be the commander.
"Yes, I have ordered Gonggong to come back before you come. In addition, I have appointed him a deputy general, that is Wu Xiaohui." Xiao Shizhu nodded and looked around at the ghost officials in front of him and said: "Little
Hui was taught by his father Wu Zhiqi by words and deeds, and also had experience in maritime combat. And logistical support is a big deal for Lu Wu, you are too worried."
After saying that, Xiao Shizhu's eyes moved to Lu Wu's face and stopped.
Lu Wu immediately stood up and agreed while bowing his hands.
"It is necessary to secretly transport the required materials to the coastal pier in the north." The ghost mother took the conversation again and told Lu Wu: "It's real, real, real, and virtual, and the enemy can't figure out what we want.
do what?".
"I understand." Lu Wu raised the corner of his mouth slightly and showed a knowing smile to her and Xiao Shizhu.
The wind and rain outside the hall became even stronger, and it had become heavy rain. The sinkhole seemed to be shrouded under a waterfall. The rain curtains as dense as waterfalls fell endlessly from the entrance of the pit, and the mist and water droplets completely enveloped the entire sky.
In the pit, a huge rain net was intertwined in the howling wind.
The strange flowers and plants around the Scenery and Bright Moon Hall were shaking in the strong wind, and branches were like dancing whips in the air, whipping the water droplets on the branches and leaves constantly scattering like they were around.
The crackling sound was louder and more urgent, which made the ghost officials in the hall excited when they heard this.
Attacking those small islands can also clear the obstacles to the future attack on the Northern Yin Dynasty. What is the benefit of multiple goals in one fell swoop? Why did Jiuyou Kingdom never do it?
"Chunyun, you are responsible for strategic command and planning." Listening to the increasingly noisy sound of wind and rain outside the hall, Xiao Shizhu turned his gaze away from Lu Wu's face and fell on Chunyun's face.
: "Remember to attack, not occupy. Snatch the resources stored on these small islands in the Northern Yin Dynasty, destroy the fortifications they built, and let the money they spent on those islands over the years be wasted.
”.
After saying that, Xiao Shizhu showed a sly smile...
Dongyingzhou, the capital of Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
A lonely peak standing on the plain is like a honeycomb. The grottoes and cliff pavilions are embedded on the mountain walls. They are both majestic, thick and simple caves. They also have exquisitely carved and ornate cliffs.
The pavilions are all connected by plank roads, winding roads, and corridors.
Many tents have been set up among the gloomy pine cypresses under the cliff, and the army of Jiuyou Kingdom has set up camp at the foot of the mountain. The lights are brightly illuminated the darkness in the forest. It is like the ground-falling stars, echoing the stars in the sky.
King Yama and Shuyan, with a few accompanying guards, climbed the mountain and entered the cave where the Fox King of Qingqiu was. They received an invitation from the Fox King of Qingqiu to come to eat the wedding banquet held by the Fox King of Qingqiu for them.
of.
The largest cave on the cliff is where the Fox King of Qingqiu works and lives. The cave where the cave is located is divided into front and back rooms, with ancient cypresses and pine trees on the left and right entrance doors. There are three eaves and four clusters of carvings on the top of the cave.
Although Feng. Although it is not as majestic as the Yuque Palace in Jiuyou Kingdom and the Six Heavenly Gods and Ghost Palace in the Northern Yin Dynasty, it is also golden and colorful. On the stone wall in the front room, there are also relief curtains and curtains decorated with flame patterns, beads, and scale networks
Flower decorations and tassels make this cave look very magnificent.
The sound of silk and bamboo in the front room of the cave is endless, with exquisitely made and delicate and clear chimes, playing a pleasant and crisp sound. The dancer composed of beautiful fox fairies dances with music. Every dancer in the light singing and dancing has long sleeves
Waving it, like flowing clouds and water, bringing out a faint fragrance of powder, which spreads in the front room.
There were many food cases in the front room where singing and dancing were full of peace, and the delicacies of mountains and seas were piled up on the table. Tree swallows and King Yama, and the ghost officials of the Qingqiu Fox King and the Fox Kingdom spoke happily and were having fun while drinking.
But it was a bit boring; this kind of formalistic social engagement was the most common one. The official accent of it was to talk about it. The back and forth of it made Shuyan, the young ghost general, show a hint of undetectable disgust.
However, the old man in the officialdom of King Yama has long been used to such banquets. He can handle it easily while drinking and drinking.
He also speaks very appropriately. He does not offend other ghosts here, but can also show the style of a great country in Jiuyou Kingdom and give Jiuyou Kingdom a big face.
After he talked about Jiuyou Kingdom, many ghost officials in Qingqiu Fox Kingdom had their expectations of going to Jiuyou Kingdom to take a look on their faces.
After the dance, the dancers bowed their heads and retreated. The Fox King of Qingqiu raised his wine glass again. Just as he was about to toast King Yama again, he suddenly saw a man wearing a clean white robe with a hemp rope tied around his waist.
The ghost official with a hurry looked rushed into the cave.
Seeing the ghost official's expression full of panic, he slowly put down the raised wine glass of the Fox King Qingqiu who swallowed what he was going to say to King Yama first.
The other ghosts were still drinking and chatting, but the musician did not calm down in the cave because the dancer retreated and the musician stopped playing.
The ghost official who hurried inside came to the depths of the front room in a few steps, stood next to the Fox King Qingqiu, looked around first, and saw that the ghosts around were either busy eating and drinking or pushing cups.
After changing the cup, he didn't pay much attention to him. He bent down, raised his palm to block his mouth, and whispered in the ear of the Fox King Qingqiu: "King, I just received a complaint from a spy, and now Tushan, led by Tu Hongqi, is now
The clans are ready to rebel. They plan to ambush the ghost army of Jiuyou Kingdom that is about to move south first, seize their firearms, and then overthrow your throne and regime."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ghost official glanced at King Yama.
The fragrance of wine was overflowing, and King Yama was drinking the fine wine as if nothing had happened.
The Qingqiu Fox King, who had heard the news, suddenly twitched with his eyes and the muscles of the mouth. On the hand where he held the wine glass, his five fingers suddenly exerted force, and another slight click on the wine glass he was holding tightly.
A sound came, and a few tiny cracks appeared on the cup.
Fortunately, the cave was filled with noise, and the light noise caused by the cracks on the wine glass was not heard by the second ghost outside the Fox King of Qingqiu.
The anger stopped on the face of the Fox King Qingqiu for a moment and slowly passed away. But the good mood he had accumulated over the night was also wiped out at this moment.
"Is the news true?" The Fox King of Qingqiu still had some fantasies about Tushan. He suppressed his anger and turned to the ghost officials beside him and asked quietly.
The ghost official immediately pointed his head and nodded softly. (To be continued)
