The ghost mother who didn't know the reason was naturally suspicious. But because of this, although she punished him to go to Tengu Garden to do some menial and tiring work in anger, she also secretly told the ghost slaves in the palace not to touch Xiao Shizhu.
So that he has never been castrated; otherwise, she would be even more regretful at this time.
Xiao Shizhu felt heartbroken when he saw her tearful look. He had seen this strong woman disdainful of everyone, and had also seen her arrogance, anger, and worry, but he had never seen her cry so sadly.
.For a while, he didn't know what to do. In the end, he was a little at a loss, so he had to comfort the other person softly for a while.
After a long time, the ghost mother stopped crying, wiped the tears from her face, raised her head and looked at Xiao Shizhu with a firm gaze, and said sonorously: "Husband, please tell me when you want to take revenge, and I will definitely fight side by side with you.
, to avenge my parents-in-law!”.
"Hahaha, my dad is right, you are indeed a good daughter-in-law." Xiao Shizhu took her into his arms again, paused for a moment, and then squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Thank you." A warm current came out of his mouth.
, welling up from his heart and flowing throughout his body.
The two of them hugged each other tightly and didn't let go for a long time, like conjoined twins.
It wasn't until a while later that Xiao Shizhu comforted the ghost mother a few more words and told her a few little jokes, which made the ghost mother laugh. The two sat on the chairs and kept saying warm love words.
After playing for a while, sometimes fighting, laughter spread to every corner of the hall.
After a while, Xiao Shizhu put away his smile, looked at the front of his clothes and said, "They say women are made of water, and so are female ghosts. Look at how my clothes are crying. Don't cry like this next time."
It's gone!". It sounded like a complaint, but in fact it was full of concern, for fear that the ghost mother would cry too sadly and be harmful to her health.
"Take it off later and I'll wash it for you." The ghost mother nodded her head and whispered.
"You know how to wash clothes?" A trace of disbelief flashed across Xiao Shizhu's face when he heard this, and then his shameless character was exposed again. He pulled off his clothes and said shamelessly: "How about I take it off for you now?"
"What are you doing?" The ghost mother was frightened, stopped him quickly, and whispered: "This is the Vientiane Palace, not the dormitory palace."
At the same time, Chen Ruo's coughing sound came from outside the hall door, and they hurriedly sat down.
"Chen Ruo, what are you coughing for?" Xiao Shizhu put on his robes, looked at Chen Ruo who was slowly walking towards him and the ghost mother, put on a serious look, and asked: "I have something to say."
"Nuo." Chen Ruo stood still under the high platform, performed a Wanfu ceremony, and announced loudly: "General Xiao, my lord, the envoy of Danzhu, King of Danshui of the Xutou Kingdom, wants to see you."
"Chantou Country?" After hearing this, Xiao Shizhu hurriedly asked, and then said thoughtfully: "I know Danzhu. The books in the world say that he is the son of Yao and a master of Go.
But what kind of country is this head-changing country?”.
As soon as the ghost mother saw him frowning, she knew that he had misspoken again, so she took his hand, used her green-white jade lotus-like fingers to write the word "讙" on his palm, and rolled her eyes at him.
He cursed quietly: "Idiot."
Xiao Shizhu scratched his head with a smile and said, "Okay, I made a mistake."
"My lord, General Xiao." Chen Ruo saw them flirting while turning a blind eye to him, and then asked again: "See or not? Please decide, so I can answer the envoy."
"Didn't he say what he was here for?" Xiao Shizhu, who was very evil-minded, asked before the ghost mother could speak.
Chen Ruo shook his head slightly and said, "I didn't say."
"Do you have any dealings with the Xu Tou Kingdom?" Xiao Shizhu turned to look at the ghost mother and asked. The ghost mother was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, she said: "I sold some weapons to them, but we can't have a deep friendship.
.”.
"Forget it." Xiao Shizhu smacked his lips. He couldn't get anything out of this question, so he had to say to the ghost mother: "How about we meet? Otherwise, I don't know what he is holding back."
"Yeah." The ghost mother nodded her head and said to Chen Ruo: "Xuan!".
Chen Ruo left in response. Taking advantage of the opportunity, the ghost mother briefly told Xiao Shizhu about the Hsitou Kingdom and Danzhu. It turned out that the Hsitou Kingdom was a small country located in the northeast of the Gonggong Kingdom, with ten counties in the country.
, in the country, in addition to the people with human souls and the demon soul people with human faces but two wings and beaks. The difference from the feather people is that their wings are larger and covered with black and
Gray feathers.
There is a river outside the capital Danshui City, called Danshui. Therefore, Danzhu's title is Danshui King.
After her reminder, Xiao Shizhu also suddenly remembered that there was a record of Danshui in "The Chronicles of the Underworld". After a little recall, he asked: "In the book "The Chronicles of the Underworld", it is mentioned that the Danshui is a freshwater river.
But these seahorses and seadragons grow. Among them, the seahorses in the river are the same as those in the sea. Female seahorses lay eggs and male seahorses raise children. This is a model of the inversion of yin and yang. It is the only example in the universe! Is it true?"
"Yes." The ghost mother nodded her head, looked at Xiao Shizhu's interested expression, and said slowly: "This is the wonder of the elixir."
Just after he finished speaking, he saw Chen Ruo walking in with two demon souls. The two demon souls were both human bodies, but they had bird-shaped sharp beaks on their faces, and a pair of winged hands on their backs.
It is wrapped in the wing membrane and is very short. The three claws of the finger are well developed, hook-shaped, and very sharp. The limbs and tailbone are covered with a thin and tough wing membrane, covered with black hairs, making them
Can flap its wings and fly like a bird.
To say they look like birdmen is better to say they are batmen with four hands.
Xiao Shizhu took a look and found that this was very different from the records in human books. However, he saw that their wing hands and wing membranes were very developed, and they seemed to be better at flying than the feather people. Then he suddenly thought that if he could win over the Xi Tou people, he could strengthen their strength.
His air force prowess.
"Li Tianying, the envoy of Danzhu, King of Danshui of Xutou Kingdom." The leader, the demon soul holding the scepter, came to stand at the foot of the high platform, announced his home, straightened his robes to the ghost mother, knelt down and shouted
: "Greetings to the Lord of the Ghost Mother Kingdom." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Shizhu, who was sitting on the throne with the Ghost Mother, and asked secretly in his heart: "Could that be the Ghost Mother's husband, Xiao Shizhu, who destroyed the Ghost Kingdom?
”.
"Get up and talk." The ghost mother said. Xiao Shizhu was curious, the name of this demon soul was so strange.
"King Danzhu specially sent this envoy to say hello to you." Then the envoy thanked him and stood up. He took the list of gifts from the palm of his entourage, unfolded it, and slowly read aloud: "Hear the ghost.
Queen Mother is newly married. King Danzhu has prepared some small gifts to express his congratulations. He ordered me to send you a pair of blue glazed lamps, a pair of jade bottles with patterns of mythical animals, two gold and silver Boshan furnaces, and a pair of bronze mirrors with patterns of the four sacred animals.
"Ten horn seats, two sapphire mandarin duck belt buckles, a pair of golden toads carved from blood dragon wood, and a pair of moonstone finger rings, please accept it with the smile of the ghost mother."
After finishing speaking, he closed the list and handed it to Chen Ruo, who then handed it to the ghost mother.
The ghost mother took the list, unfolded it, glanced at it, and was about to close it when she was stopped by Xiao Shizhu, who whispered in her ear: "Are these things valuable?".
"The Sijiao Xi and the Blood Dragon Wood Carving and the Golden Toad are priceless." The ghost mother covered her mouth with her hand and whispered back in his ear.
"Thank you for your hard work, envoy." After saying this, she turned around, looked down at the envoy under the high platform, and said kindly: "Please thank King Danzhu on my behalf."
"You are sending such a big gift, and you are not coming to our banquet. I'm afraid you have something else to ask for?" Xiao Shizhu asked slowly, squinting his eyes as he looked at the envoy.
"This lord must be the famous General Xiao, right?" The messenger Li Tian smiled at him, bowed and saluted. Now that he had pointed it out, he no longer concealed it and said bluntly: "Sure enough, he is a talented man with a keen eye.
.To be honest, I have come here to ask for one more thing.”
After Li Tianying said this, he paused, frowned slightly, and said: "I would like to ask the Ghost Mother Queen to send troops to help our country repel Gonggong's invasion." After saying this, a look of nervousness and expectation appeared on his face.
.
Xiao Shizhu was thinking about cleaning up the Ghost Kingdom, and his next target was Gonggong; he had been coveting Gonggong's large aircraft carrier-class warships for a long time. But he never thought that Gonggong would not even give him a break.
It's coming to your door. Although the invader is not the Ghost Mother Country, the country invaded by Gonggong comes to ask for help. As long as it agrees to send troops to help, it can launch a reasonable war against Gonggong.
It's just that he is also in a dilemma. Now that the Ghost Mother Army has just ended the war, the army needs to rest and replenish its troops. The domestic economy also needs a certain amount of time to recover. In addition, Black Dragon Island has been initially decided to require troops to be stationed on the island.
Maintain local stability.
As a result, the domestic troops were also dispersed to various places, and it was very difficult to assemble a large army to attack the Communist State in a short period of time. Moreover, once the troops were assembled to go on an expedition, the national defense would become weak.
It is easy for enemy countries to take advantage of it. In addition, the Gonggong Kingdom is not a Black Dragon Island. Not to mention its vast land, there are many rivers and lakes in the country, high mountains and dangerous peaks, and many natural dangers that can be defended. It is by no means a small country that can be destroyed in a few days.
For a moment, Xiao Shizhu felt a little stretched. The opportunity was clearly right in front of him, but he had to watch the opportunity slip away because of the overall situation. This made Xiao Shizhu very uncomfortable, and his heart felt like being scratched by a cat's claws.
Somewhat restless.
Under Li Tianying's pleading eyes, he turned to look at the ghost mother. He saw that the other party also had a look of embarrassment on her face and turned to look at him; when their eyes met, they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.
.
Seeing their hesitation, Li Tianying's heart skipped a beat and rose to his throat; a thin layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his head.
"It's up to you to decide." After a while, the ghost mother asked Xiao Shizhu. Seeing that Xiao Shizhu did not shirk, and nodded her head, the ghost mother looked at Li Tianying again, pointed to Xiao Shizhu beside her and said: "My country
All military operations are decided by my husband. As for how to do it, you can discuss it with him in detail."
"Please General Xiao." Li Tianying saw the life-saving straw like a drowning man. He suddenly knelt down facing Xiao Shizhu and kept kowtowing: "Please General Xiao, please show mercy and save our country."
The people of Li." Seeing that he was so nervous that he was sweating on his forehead, Xiao Shizhu suddenly knew that the opportunity for the lion to open his mouth had come; for a shameless human soul like him, he would not be polite in front of such an opportunity.
The anxious look on Li Tianying's eyebrows and the growing anticipation in his eyes naturally did not escape the eyes of the ghost mother.
"It's not impossible for us to help you!" So Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment and said with a serious look on his face: "But you can't help in vain, right?"
"No, it's not in vain." Li Tianying saw that he was starting to negotiate terms, and as if he saw a glimmer of light in the darkness, he quickly raised his red-foreheaded head, waved his hands and said, "We are willing to offer two cities.
The land is given to the mother country of ghosts.”
"No, I don't want the land." Just after he finished speaking, Xiao Shizhu said something that confused both Li Tianying and Gui Mu: "Keep the land for yourselves, I want your people."
"You don't want land, but you just want some common people to come here?" The ghost mother gently tugged on Xiao Shizhu's sleeves and asked softly: "By then, there will be tens of thousands more mouths in the country. How will their food and housing problems be solved?"
.After spending time with Xiao Shizhu for a long time, the ghost mother has become very shameless.
After she winked at Xiao Shizhu playfully, she added without hesitation: "You should ask for the people and the land together. Otherwise, you will be helping them in vain."
After finishing speaking, she turned to look at Li Tianying and asked: "What do you think? Come on."
The couple sang and harmonized in perfect harmony, as if they were talking about a double act, but it made Li Tianying even more nervous and anxious.
