"First of all, no matter what method I use, as long as I can help you push back the Gonggong army; you are not allowed to intervene." Xiao Shizhu smiled lightly and gave the ghost mother a wink. While appreciating her job well done, he also signaled to her
Don't interfere yet. Then he said slowly to Li Tianying: "Secondly, after Gonggong withdraws from the army, I want 30,000 strong and young Xitou people to join the nationality of my ghost country. From now on, these 30,000 ghost souls will be the lifelong citizens of our country.
, obey the dispatch of our country. And if their relatives and friends want to follow them and migrate to our country, your country cannot stop them. I think this condition is not excessive."
Except for Xiao Shizhu, there are only a few people who can claim to be taking advantage of others' advantage and extortion with such confidence.
"This?" The anxiety on his face gradually turned into astonishment. Li Tianying looked at Xiao Shizhu blankly and said with a slight stutter: "This, this, this, this, I, I, I want to discuss with the king of my country.
,Talent, talent, ability, can decide." Danzhu hurriedly sent Li Tianying as an envoy to the ghost mother country, firstly because the Gonggong army had invaded, and secondly because it was the ghost capital of Xuanyanzhou
I know that not long ago, the Ghost Mother Kingdom had its powerful Gonggong Navy defeated in the Minghai Sea.
Danzhu thought that if he asked a big country for help, he would be humble and would be severely blackmailed. Instead, it would be better to find a small country like the Ghost Mother Country that could check and balance the communist army, which would reduce some of the exchange conditions.
, to reduce domestic economic pressure after the war.
It's just that he didn't expect that he made a mistake; the ministers of the Ghost Mother Country were right in saying that Xiao Shizhu was a complete profiteer, from the human world to the underworld, as always. Since he was a profiteer, how could he do business at a loss?
When he saw Li Tianying, the demon soul of the Yu-headed people, with powerful wing hands on his back, he concluded that the opponent was better at flying than the feathered people, and his flying speed must be faster than that of the feathered people. So in his mind, he had already begun to
The idea of Hou Tou Min came up.
However, the long-term war between the various vassal states in the underworld has made all the ghosts in the underworld know that manpower is material resources; especially for a small country like Danshui Country, the population is the foundation of the country. Xiao Shizhu proposed three requirements in one breath
In exchange for the millions of people, as well as their relatives and friends who are willing to follow them, the number is more than 30,000; this makes Li Tianying feel very embarrassed.
"With the enemy in front of us, my conditions are not too unreasonable. I think your king will definitely agree to it. And before you come, he must have told you the range of conditions your country can bear once we open our mouth to negotiate terms."
, I must have given you the right to do things cheaply." Xiao Shizhu looked at the envoy with a smile in his eyes, and said casually: "But we can also let you go back to the country to discuss the matter first. I just hope that next time you come,
Didn't you bring the news that you want us to help your king regain his kingdom?" His sharp point made Li Tianying unable to refute.
After finishing speaking, he said to Chenruo calmly: "Go and make a pot of tea, and then bring up a chair so that you can sit comfortably, drink tea leisurely, and think carefully.
." He deliberately slowed down his words, which made Li Tianying feel nervous.
"No." Chen Ruo responded and walked out.
"Business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness." Xiao Shizhu stood up, stepped down from the high platform and helped Li Tianying, who was still kneeling on the ground, with a tangled face, and said with a smile: "Even if we don't reach an agreement this time, it doesn't stop us from being friends. Special Envoy
Come all the way here, and we will definitely prepare a rich return gift for you to take back when you leave. In the past few days, you can live in peace and contentment in our country and have a good time, little one
There are many interesting places in Yushan City, and I will arrange for someone to bring them to visit them all."
Seeing Xiao Shizhu calm and relaxed, Li Tianying became even more anxious. Xiao Shizhu could afford to drag him away, and so did the Ghost Mother Country. He and the Tou Kingdom couldn't afford to drag him away. When he came, Gonggong has deployed its army on the border of the Xitou Kingdom, and the war is imminent; at this time, I am afraid that the war has already begun.
Although the Communist Army was not good at foot and horse warfare, it had a powerful navy; their exaggeratedly large warships could sail upstream along the Danshui River to the outside of the capital, Danshui City. Moreover, the opponent's troops were smaller than the small Storks. If there are more countries, if he continues to be so hesitant and procrastinating, I am afraid that just as Xiao Shizhu said, the next time he comes, he will ask the ghost mother country for help in restoring the country.
Therefore, even if he, Li Tianying, was sitting in a comfortable chair at this moment, holding a cup of fragrant and colorful tea in his hand, he would still be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, without the slightest hint of comfort.
"That's all." After struggling for a long time, Li Tianying, who had not drank a sip of tea, stood up, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and said: "I agree; I only ask General Xiao to do what he said and save the people of our country from the suffering of the war. ”.
"Well, no problem." Xiao Shizhu responded immediately, but then rubbed his hands and said to Li Tian: "I will ask the minister to draw up an agreement in a while, and then we can sign the agreement."
"Okay, okay." Without further ado, Li Tianying also agreed.
After everything was settled, Xiao Shizhu asked Chen Ruo to take the envoy down to entertain them. However, he stood there with his hands behind his hands, looking at their departing figures in a daze.
"Do you want to use the people of Hui Tou to strengthen the air force?" The ghost mother also came down from the high platform, walked slowly to his side, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said: "You have taken a fancy to this kind of demon spirit early on, right? .”.
"Well, when you mentioned that the people of Xiu Tou are only owned by the country of Xiu Tou, I had this thought in my heart." Xiao Shizhu nodded and said: "Then I saw Li Tianying. The wing hands behind him were so strong. I thought that demon spirits like them must fly higher and farther than the feathered people, so I made up my mind to try to get them to join your Xiao family army."
"Wouldn't it be better if you asked for their land again?" the ghost mother asked a little disappointed.
"Hahaha." Xiao Shizhu raised his head and laughed loudly, and said: "Honey, you are too greedy; it will easily capsize in the gutter. You won't become fat with one bite, so we still have to take our time."
"Well, that makes sense." The ghost mother slightly nodded and said with a frown: "But do you remember what I said, this Danzhu is a notorious villain who likes to go back on his word. I'm afraid that if I help him, he won't be on time. Pay us according to the amount."
"Then I will have an excuse to beat him. By then, his people and land will be mine." Xiao Shizhu turned to look at her and showed a faint smile. But there was a bit more cunning in this smile.
"Hehe, you are cunning." The ghost mother shook her head and said with a sweet smile: "You are a serial trick; after the war, whether Danzhu pays us or not, he will suffer."
"But, husband, how are you going to make Gonggong retreat?" Then the ghost mother tilted her head and blinked at him again, and asked ignorantly.
"So this play still lacks the character of Zhu Rong." Xiao Shizhu pondered for a moment, put away his smile, and said thoughtfully: "I heard from Hu Hui that Zhu Rong has an irritable character, not to mention his irritable personality, but also Do whatever you want. If we send a special envoy to negotiate a peace treaty or something with him, then praise him for how powerful he is, and then point out that his fiasco last time was due to Gonggong's lack of loyalty and his escape in advance. , given his character, what do you think he would do even if he doesn’t want to negotiate peace with us?”.
"Send troops to the Gonggong Kingdom." After hearing this, the ghost mother thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said with a smile on her face: "He will definitely not let go of the opportunity of Gonggong sending an army to fight against the Tou Kingdom."
.
"Smart." Xiao Shizhu smiled and stretched out his hand to scratch her nose.
"Husband, you are so awesome." The ghost mother held his arm, like a coquettish little girl, gently shook his arm, and praised in a cooing voice: "You are my greatest pride in this life.
". As she said that, she tilted her head and leaned on Xiao Shizhu's shoulder, smiling lightly; her smile was filled with deep happiness.
Who would have thought that the always noble Ghost Mother could shed all her pride in front of Xiao Shizhu and become such a little bird?
"Yes, this is called wisdom, and it can't be learned by reading two military books." Xiao Shizhu, who grew taller and reached the sky after being praised for a few words, raised his head, puffed out his chest, and laughed proudly.
arrive.
After a while, he put away his smile again, frowned slightly and said: "However, I have to transfer the remaining Xiao family troops back from Black Dragon Island to prepare for emergencies."
"You really should, especially Yingzhao. Why did you let him stay there?" The ghost mother suddenly let go and complained with a stern face.
Women are changeable, and so are female ghosts.
Xiao Shizhu looked at her scratching her head with puzzled eyes and asked: "Yingzhao? What's wrong with Yingzhao? There is a shortage of manpower over there. He and Lu Wu are the best candidates to stay and govern the local area."
After that, he heard a "gurgling" sound from his stomach.
"Ying'er is about to give birth. I've asked the imperial doctor to be on standby for the past few days." The ghost mother ignored the sound of his stomach, but rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "You male ghosts are all so slow.
, Yingzhao, this guy is even more dull. He gets excited when he hears about the war. He can abandon his wife and rush to the battlefield desperately. But you left him there. When Ying'er gave birth, her husband was not by her side. In her heart
How uncomfortable is it?”.
"Ah? Ghost doctors can still deliver babies to demon spirits?" Xiao Shizhu was shocked, a little happy, but also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "I thought it would take a long time to give birth? It seems that I
I’m going to be an uncle soon.” I sincerely wish Yingzhao the best.
"Oh, that's right." He rolled his eyes and suggested: "I'm hungry anyway, so why not let's go to the Huaishu Bar for dinner; we can also visit Ying'er on the way."
The ghost mother nodded and agreed without thinking; she hadn't eaten kebabs for a long time, and she was really greedy.
Just when she was about to hold Xiao Shizhu's hand again and prepare to go out of the hall, Xiao Shizhu suddenly slapped her forehead, as if remembering something urgent that couldn't be delayed, and shouted: "You go over first, I'll do it soon."
Come as soon as you can." After saying that, he shook off her hand and ran out of the hall on his own. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of the ghost mother.
The ghost mother was left standing there blankly, with a look of confusion on her face, and she muttered to herself: "What are you doing? You are always in such a hurry." But when she finished speaking, she raised her head slightly.
corner of mouth.
Xiao Shizhu rushed out of the inner court and ran towards the weapons supervisor. What he just told the ghost mother was nothing more than the general direction of the plan, but to increase the success rate, the plan must be perfected.
In order to perfect the plan, he had to talk to Lai Yueqi.
When I arrived at the firearms workshop of the Ordnance Supervision, I saw Lai Yueqi, a little red among the vast green, holding a bronze caliper and pointing, directing many senior men who were working enthusiastically to do this and that.
Those big and powerful men were actually obedient to this petite and exquisite woman. No matter what Lai Yueqi asked them to do, they had no complaints. And under Lai Yueqi's command, all the work in the production workshop was carried out in an orderly manner.
Wearing this also makes Lai Yueqi exude the charm of serious work and has a unique flavor.
"Yue Qi." Xiao Shizhu stood at the door of the workshop and called softly; but due to the constant noise inside, the tinkling of knocks and the purring of the bellows, Lai Yueqi did not hear his words at all.
Xiao Shizhu shook his head helplessly, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Lai Yueqi!".
Only then did Lai Yueqi hear his voice, but she was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, then slowly turned around and suddenly heard the voice; only to see Xiao Shizhu leaning on the doorpost next to the workshop door, with his hands folded in front of his chest and looking at
She showed an friendly smile.
That smile was like a clear spring rippling across the face, making people feel relaxed and happy. Lai Yueqi loosened the fingers of her right hand, and the bronze caliper in her hand fell to the ground.
